INTRODUCTION:

Postcolonoscopy colorectal cancers primarily occur in the right-sided colon because of missed adenomas and serrated polyps (SPs). Water exchange (WE) improves cleanliness and visibility of the right-sided colon. We hypothesized that WE could reduce the right-sided colon adenoma (rAMR) and SP miss rate (rSPMR) compared with standard colonoscopy.

METHODS:

We randomly assigned 386 colonoscopy patients to insertion with either WE or CO2 insufflation. During the first withdrawal, polypectomies were performed up to the hepatic flexure. A second endoscopist, blinded to the insertion technique, re-examined the right-sided colon. The miss rate was determined by dividing the number of additional adenomas or SPs by the total number detected in both examinations. The primary outcome was the combined rAMR and rSPMR.

RESULTS:

WE significantly decreased the combined rAMR and rSPMR (22.2% vs 32.2%, P < 0.001) and rSPMR alone (22.5% vs 37.1%, P = 0.002) compared with CO2 insufflation, but not rAMR (21.8% vs 29.8%, P = 0.079). In addition, WE significantly increased the detection of SP per colonoscopy (SP per colonoscopy) in the right-sided colon (0.95 ± 1.56 vs 0.50 ± 0.79, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ≥2 SPs in the right-sided colon were an independent predictor of rSPMR (odds ratio, 3.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.89─6.38), along with a higher right-sided colon Boston Bowel Preparation Scale score (odds ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.32─0.94).

DISCUSSION:

The significant reduction in rSPMR and increase in right-sided colon SP per colonoscopy suggest that colonoscopy insertion using WE is a valid alternative to CO2 insufflation (clinical trial registration number: NCT04124393).

INTRODUCTION:

Social determinants of health (SDOH) may impact chronic liver disease (CLD) outcomes but are not clearly understood. We conducted a systematic review to describe the associations of SDOH with mortality, hospitalizations, and readmissions among patients with CLD.

METHODS:

This review was registered (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022346654) and identified articles through MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases. The review included studies that reported SDOH characteristics within the domains of economic stability, healthcare access, education, social and community context, and the neighborhood-built environment. Associated outcomes of interest were mortality, hospitalizations, or readmissions. The Cochrane Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies for Exposure was used to assess study quality and risk of bias.

RESULTS:

A total of 5,205 abstracts were screened, 60 articles underwent full-text review, and 27 articles were included in the final review. Poor economic stability, healthcare access, social support, and household/environmental conditions were associated with higher mortality and hospital readmissions among patients with CLD. Increasing distance (≥25 miles away) from a liver transplantation center was associated with higher mortality, despite increasing access to the liver transplantation waitlist. When assessing the overall risk of bias among included studies, most had “some concern” (N = 13, 48.1%) or “high risk” (N = 11, 40.7%), whereas a minority had “very high risk” (N = 3, 11.1%). No studies were categorized as “low risk.”

DISCUSSION:

Unfavorable SDOH were associated with increased mortality and hospital readmissions among patients with CLD. Rigorous empirical research is needed to identify evidence-based strategies that aim to mitigate disparities among vulnerable populations.

Authors: Rodrigues Luciene da Costa , Neves Sandra Mara Alves da Silva
Published: October 2024

In the ecosociosystem landscape, traditional practices and customs are employed by quilombola communities in the use and manage of the land, constituting essential characteristics for the conservation of local sociobiodiversity. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the landscape used and managed by quilombola communities in the Sustainable Development Reserve of Quilombos de Barra do Turvo in São Paulo, discussing its implications for its conservation status. Geotechnological tools were used to generate maps and quantifiable data on vegetation cover and land use for the years 1984 and 2020. as well as the Anthropogenic Transformation Index to identify the conservation status of the landscape. In the Reserve, as well as in quilombola communities, anthropogenic uses predominated, specifically agriculture and livestock farming. In terms of vegetation cover, the extent of the Dense Montane Ombrophilous Forest showed a reduction in both investigated areas. Water within the Reserve showed an increase in area, while there was no spatial change in the communities. The conservation status of the landscape in the Reserve and quilombola communities, on both investigated dates, was found to be mildly degraded. It was concluded that there is a need for the development of management plans that respect the way of life of quilombola communities and the maintenance of aquatic and terrestrial fauna and flora, contributing to the conservation of the local landscape.

Generation Z has great potential to become future investors. However, their interest in investing remains relatively low. This study analyzes the influence of learning channels on investment interest, with financial literacy as a mediating variable among Generation Z students in Yogyakarta, using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The results show that learning channels have a positive and significant impact on financial literacy and investment interest. Financial literacy also has a significant effect on investment interest, though its impact is weaker compared to the influence of learning channels. Mediation tests reveal that financial literacy mediates the relationship between learning channels and investment interest, although the effect is small. Learning channels have a strong influence on students' investment interest, with financial literacy serving as a connecting factor.Generasi Z memiliki potensi besar untuk menjadi investor di masa depan. Namun, minat mereka dalam berinvestasi masih tergolong rendah. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh saluran pembelajaran terhadap minat investasi dengan literasi keuangan sebagai variabel mediasi pada mahasiswa Generasi Z di Yogyakarta, menggunakan metode Partial Least Square (PLS). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa saluran pembelajaran berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap literasi keuangan dan minat investasi. Literasi keuangan juga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap minat investasi, namun dampaknya lebih lemah dibandingkan pengaruh saluran pembelajaran. Uji mediasi mengungkap bahwa literasi keuangan memediasi hubungan antara saluran pembelajaran dan minat investasi, meskipun efeknya kecil. Saluran pembelajaran terbukti memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap minat investasi mahasiswa, dengan literasi keuangan berperan sebagai penghubung.

The strategic location of CETYS University, in Baja California state in the northwest of Mexico, gives it exceptional conditions for the use of renewable energies. With an installed photovoltaic solar energy capacity of 1.37 MW, it is the academic institution with the greatest generation potential in Latin America. The importance that CETYS University gives to the subject has stimulated the institution since 2015 to offer a degree and master's degree in renewable energy to have greater and better collaboration with solar and wind energy technology companies located in the state. With a vision of the future, in 2023 the CETYS Institute for Sustainability Studies (ISS) was created to promote and coordinate, among other actions, those related to energy and climate change. With a planning horizon until 2036, the ISS, looking forward, has proposed the following actions: a) an internal audit to increase the energy efficiency of their buildings and classrooms; b) support for research projects to build on-campus operational small-scale wind energy systems; c) the deployment of the 300 x 500 program, which seeks to plant at least 300 native trees in the region with low water consumption each year, to offset the atmospheric emissions of 500 vehicles; d) a policy to achieve 80% carbon neutrality, and e) the incorporation of CETYS to the network of Mexican universities for climate action. Among many others, these actions position CETYS as a leading institution in sustainable development at the regional level.

Published: October 2024

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of feedstocks yields biogas, a potentially useful new energy source. This study looked into the anaerobic co-digestion of cow dung and organic garbage to produce biogas. An anaerobic biodigester, with a volume of 20 L, was used to digest organic waste (OW) and to trace the changes that occur during the AD process. It was equipped with tools that ensure complete control of the conditions affecting anaerobic biological reactions such as temperature, pH function, and mixing speed. Therefore, an anaerobic biodigester was designed to contain such biological transformations and to improve the biogas production process from OW. Based on the present investigation, the AD of OW was improved by integrating the substrate with sewage sludge or cow manure (CM) during the digestion process to provide the basic microorganisms to complete the digestion process. Feeding into the digester was a blend of 100 kg of cow dung (CM) and OW per day, diluted 1:1 with water. A gasbag was used to capture the methane that resulted. Biogas production began on the seventh day after the substrate was fed into the digester. A performance test was carried out on the produced biogas to determine its composition. For OW–CM, the generated biogas’s methane (CH4) concentration was determined to be 60%, but the rates of decline for TS and VS were 57 and 50.6%, respectively. Anaerobic biodegradation of OW–CM experiments was observed at 37°C, a mesophilic temperature. For OW–CM, the pH value was 6.7. After being adjusted to standard circumstances, the cumulative volume of methane produced which had been recorded as 4,914 mL became 3964.5 mL.

Published: October 2024

Bromate–thiourea coordinated leaching of gold sulfide ore for gold sulfide ore as leaching object. The effects of leaching reagent, stirring speed, and leaching time on gold leaching were investigated in this article. The results showed that the optimum leaching conditions were potassium bromate 0.1 M, thiourea 0.6 g·L−1, hydrochloric acid 0.2 M, agitation speed 250 rpm, ratio of liquid to solid 4, and leaching time 10 min. Under these conditions, high efficiency and rapid leaching of gold can be achieved, and reagent consumption is reduced. The research results have theoretical and practical significance for expanding new green gold extraction technology.
A different kind of phrasal comparatives with a non-transformational Schönfinkelization in semantic composition: the case of Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Abu Helal Abdel-Rahman
Published: October 2024

Cross-linguistically, phrasal comparatives have been shown to vary with respect to the categorical status and denotational meaning of their standard of comparison (i.e., the NP constituent following the ‘than’ particle): whether the standard of comparison in phrasal comparatives is to be categorized as a superficially individual-denoting nominal expression or it is to be interpreted as an underlyingly degree-denoting reduced clause that undergoes deletion in the syntax. This paper argues that Jordanian Arabic (JA) is a language which makes use of phrasal comparatives with no clausal source in the standard of comparison. The paper further shows that the comparative head (i.e., the –er morpheme) in JA phrasal comparatives requires a special instance of Schönfinkelization of the comparative operator which relates individual-denoting objects with no transformations in the syntax-semantics interface.

Since democratic change in 1994 South Africa’s cities have experienced major physical and social changes. Johannesburg, South Africa’s major city, has been at the leading edge of the changes occurring in the landscape of the country’s cities and therefore has generated a substantial scholarly literature. Geographical writings are concentrated mainly on the inner-cities and townships. Less research has been pursued on South Africa’s suburban spaces and particularly in what has been described as the ‘in-between’ middle-class suburban areas. The objective in this article is to investigate the dynamics of suburban transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. The case study is situated in the south of Johannesburg and centres on neighbourhood change in former ‘white’ designated suburbs. The study discloses resident motivations driving change, issues of socio-economic mobility, and the shifts occurring in the nature of residential property development in these spaces.
Effects of Ketamine on Frontoparietal Interactions in a Rule-Based Antisaccade Task in Macaque Monkeys
Authors: Ma Liya , Katyare Nupur , Johnston Kevin , Everling Stefan
Published: October 2024

Cognitive control is engaged by working memory processes and high-demand situations like antisaccade, where one must suppress a prepotent response. While it is known to be supported by the frontoparietal control network, how intra- and interareal dynamics contribute to cognitive control processes remains unclear.
N
-Methyl-
d
-aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDARs) play a key role in prefrontal dynamics that support cognitive control. NMDAR antagonists, such as ketamine, are known to alter task-related prefrontal activities and impair cognitive performance. However, the role of NMDAR in cognitive control-related frontoparietal dynamics remains underexplored. Here, we simultaneously recorded local field potentials and single-unit activities from the lateral prefrontal (lPFC) and posterior parietal cortices (PPC) in two male macaque monkeys during a rule-based antisaccade task, with both rule-visible (RV) and rule-memorized (RM) conditions. In addition to altering the E/I balance in both areas, ketamine had a negative impact on rule coding in true oscillatory activities. It also reduced frontoparietal coherence in a frequency- and rule-dependent manner. Granger prediction analysis revealed that ketamine induced an overall reduction in bidirectional connectivity. Among antisaccade trials, a greater reduction in lPFC–PPC connectivity during the delay period preceded a greater delay in saccadic onset under the RM condition and a greater deficit in performance under the RV condition. Lastly, ketamine compromised rule coding in lPFC neurons in both RV and RM conditions and in PPC neurons only in the RV condition. Our findings demonstrate the utility of acute NMDAR antagonists in understanding the mechanisms through which frontoparietal dynamics support cognitive control processes.
Auditory Competition and Stimulus Selection across Spatial Locations from Midbrain to Forebrain in Barn Owls
Authors: Bae Andrea J. , Fischer Brian J. , Peña José L.
Published: October 2024

Barn owls enable investigation of neural mechanisms underlying stimulus selection of concurrent stimuli. The audiovisual space map in the optic tectum (OT), avian homolog of the superior colliculus, encodes relative strength of concurrent auditory stimuli through spike response rate and interneuronal spike train synchrony (STS). Open questions remain regarding stimulus selection in downstream forebrain regions lacking topographic coding of auditory space, including the functional consequences of interneuronal STS on interregional signaling. To this end, we presented concurrent stimuli at different locations and manipulated relative strength while simultaneously recording neural responses from OT and its downstream thalamic target, nucleus rotundus (nRt), in awake barn owls of both sexes. Results demonstrated that broadly spatially tuned nRt units exhibit different spike response patterns to competition depending on spatial tuning preferences. Modeling suggests nRt units integrate convergent inputs from distant locations across midbrain map regions. Additionally, STS within nRt reflects the temporal properties of the strongest stimulus. Furthermore, interregional STS between OT and nRt was strongest when spatial tuning overlap between units across regions was large and when the strongest stimulus location during competition was favorable for units in both regions. Additionally, though gamma oscillations synthesized within OT are weakly propagated within nRt, average gamma power across regions correlates with strength of interregional STS. Overall, we demonstrate that nRt integrates inputs across distant areas of OT, retains spatial information through differences in strength of inputs from various locations of the midbrain map across neurons, and prioritizes coding of identity features to the strongest sound.
La organización del santuario en las iglesias hispánicas de los siglos VI-VII (I): El problema de los nichos y placas-nicho visigodos
Authors: Morín de Pablos Jorge , Barroso Cabrera Rafael
Published: October 2024

En las iglesias visigodas, el nicho se presenta como el punto culminante de una programación iconográfica sumamente elaborada y concebida en sentido ascendente. Su origen inmediato hay que buscarlo en el mundo bizantino, dentro del esquema general de la "arquitectura de poder" de las construcciones áulicas tardorromanas. Estas consideraciones, unidas a la aparición de algunos ejemplares in situ, permiten defender la idea -adelantada ya por Íñiguez Almech- de su ubicación en el fondo de las iglesias visigóticas, presidiendo el santuario y en relación directa con las mesas de altar. El análisis interno de los ejemplares revela, además, la influencia del arquetipo simbólico del Templo de Jerusalén, cuyos elementos ideológicos se han visto reelaborados desde una óptica eminentemente cristológica, y en la que se puede vislumbrar una creciente presencia de la lectura del Apocalipsis pareja a la influencia que este libro sagrado tuvo en el desarrollo de la liturgia de la época.

El Hotel Reina Victoria en Madrid, construido por el arquitecto Jesús Carrasco-Muñoz Encina, es una interesante obra que combina elementos tradicionales y modernos. Por un lado, constituye un significativo ejemplo de eclecticismo arquitectónico a comienzos del siglo XX, pero por otro contiene importantes novedades (funcionales, técnicas y estilísticas). El estudio de su proyecto original, de su largo proceso constructivo y del edificio definitivo así lo demuestra.
José de Sopeña: El Patio Mayor de Escuelas del Colegio Mayor de S. Ildefonso
Authors: González Ramos Roberto
Published: October 2024

El patio mayor de escuelas del Colegio Mayor de S. Ildefonso, hoy llamado de Santo Tomás de Villanueva, se viene atribuyendo desde hace años al arquitecto real Juan Gómez de Mora. Este particular está motivado por el hecho conocido de haber entregado en 1614 unas trazas -perdidas- para la reconstrucción del citado patio, que sustituiría al que protagonizaba el Colegio desde su fundación a principios del S. XVI por el Cardenal Cisneros. Sin embargo, hoy sabemos que su proyecto nunca se llevó a cabo y cayó en el olvido. El autor de la obra fue José de Sopeña, un escasamente conocido maestro de obras, que desde 1656 hasta 1670 ejecutó, basándose en sus propios diseños, toda la construcción.

Las pinturas de la Iglesia "baja" de San Juan de la Peña: Vínculos pictóricos entre el Poitou y Aragón durante el siglo XII
Authors: Fernández Somoza Gloria
Published: October 2024

Historiográficamente las pinturas románicas de la iglesia 'baja' del monasterio de San Juan de la Peña (Huesca) han sido vinculadas formalmente a la pintura realizada en la Borgoña, más concretamente a las de la capilla de los monjes de Berzé-la-Ville. No obstante, el estudio llevado a cabo las emparentan a la escuela pictórica que, en la zona del Poitou, surge entre finales del siglo XI y principios del XII. Tal atribución otorga una nueva visión de la pintura hispana relacionada con la poitevina, ya que además el conjunto mural de San Juan de la Peña se erige como el más cercano a aquélla y el de mayor calidad pictórica entre los ciclos murales románicos catalanes y aragoneses que se han vinculado a la antedicha escuela francesa.
Algunos prototipos iconográficos de la Virgen María en la escultura en metal del siglo XIV
Authors: Martín Ansón María Luisa
Published: October 2024

Con frecuencia los estudios de escultura medieval toman como punto de partida obras insertas en un marco arquitectónico que, más o menos restauradas, se conservan in situ, para establecer una evolución artística e iconográfica. Sólo, en ocasiones puntuales, se tiene en cuenta el empleo de otros materiales que, más ricos y costosos, han sido objeto de fusiones, pérdidas o destrucción. Sin embargo, el análisis de una serie de esculturas con la imagen de María, realizadas en metal, permite observar que las normas de representación, tanto en el ámbito estilístico como iconográfico, son las mismas, con independencia del material empleado.
La creación de los museos en España
Authors: Géal Pierre
Published: October 2024

La renovación de la historiografía de los museos españoles implica rebasar los límites de la simple historia de sus colecciones o incluso del estudio de las élites que los crearon y dirigieron: supone tener en cuenta el funcionamiento de ese artefacto social complejo que constituye un museo. Base previa necesaria a la emergencia del museo, la noción de patrimonio se contruye progresivamente en la España del siglo XVIII, bajo el impulso de los medios cultos. Se construye mediante un discurso (Ponz, Bosarte, Jovellanos, etc.) en el que una posición historicista permite relativizar paulatinamente el criterio estético, pero también se encarna en prácticas concretas de protección y de conservación. La cuestión de la accesibilidad y del estatuto jurídico del patrimonio, en cambio, poco les interesa a las élites españolas, lo que explica que la expulsión de los jesuitas no dé lugar a la creación de museos a partir de las obras de arte disponibles. La noción moderna de museo sólo se implanta en el transcurso de la Guerra de la Independencia, cuando José Bonaparte justifica sus proyectos museales por la legitimidad del acceso del público al patrimonio nacional, argumentación que se irá imponiendo en lo sucesivo.
Entre la tradición y la reforma: a vueltas de nuevo con las portadas de San Isidoro de León
Authors: Poza Yagüe Marta
Published: October 2024

Si hay un punto en el que prácticamente todos los investigadores están de acuerdo, es en afirmar que los dos ingresos meridionales de San Isidoro pueden ser considerados, con toda probabilidad, como los primeros ejemplos de portada historiada en los que se han integrado elementos esculturados como tímpanos, capiteles, relieves paramentales y metopas, conservados en la actual comunidad castellano-leonesa. Pero aun partiendo de esta premisa, no es menos cierta que desde las primeras décadas del siglo pasado, su cronología viene siendo condicionada por un complicado entramado de relaciones estilísticas entre una y otra vertiente de los Pirineos; debate en el que han primado más intereses nacionalistas que criterios puramente artísticos y arqueológicos. Un análisis global del panorama histórico, social, político y religioso que rodeó la construcción de la basílica, dejando hablar al edificio propiamente dicho y cotejando los datos con las informaciones proporcionadas por las fuentes de época, puede dar lugar a conclusiones sensiblemente diferentes.

Notas sobre Sebastián de Herrerra Barnuevo, pintor
Authors: Collar de Cáceres Fernando
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se analizan algunos aspectos de la obra pictórica de Sebastián de Herrera Barnuevo y se establece que una riberesca Inmaculada Concepción del Museo del Louvre es en realidad obra suya. Igualmente ha de serlo una problemática pintura de la Asunción de la Virgen, en la iglesia de San Nicolás de Toledo; y hay rasgos de su estilo en un lienzo de altar de la Crucifixión del Museo de Segovia. Son pinturas asociadas hasta hoy con otros tantos maestros, y corresponden sin duda a tres momentos distintos de su obra.

The paper considers the method of hierarchical information-extreme machine learning for the system of ophthalmic diagnosis of eye pathology. Since the proposed method is developed within the framework of a functional approach to modeling the cognitive processes of natural intelligence, it, unlike neuro-like structures, acquires the properties of flexibility when retraining a diagnostic system and requires an order of magnitude fewer image samples. In addition, the decision rules based on the results of machine learning within the geometric approach in the form of a binary hierarchical structure of recognition classes ensure their practical invariance to the multidimensionality of both the space of diagnostic features and the alphabet of recognition classes. The modified Kullback-Leibler information measure, which is considered as a function of the accuracy of classification solutions, is chosen as a criterion for optimizing the parameters of the machine learning system for diagnosing eye pathologies. A hierarchical information-extreme machine learning algorithm for an ophthalmic diagnostic system for six eye pathologies was developed and programmatically implemented. Based on the results of functional diagnostics, it has been experimentally proved that the constructed decision rules are error-free according to the training matrices of recognition classes of each level of the constructed binary hierarchical structure.

A változás azonban rengeteg bizonytalansággal és félelemmel jár, a szervezeti tagok változásra való nyitottsága, a változással kapcsolatos hiedelmei, felelősségvállalása és pozitív pszichológiai állapota megatározó erőforrásnak tekinthető a szervezeti változások során. Kutatásunkban azt vizsgáltuk, hogy az egyén beállítódása, meggyőződései, hiedelmei, változáshoz való viszonyulása és pozitív pszichológiai állapota hogyan kapcsolódik a sikeres szervezeti változásokhoz annak érdekében, hogy azok fejlesztéséhez és a változások sikeres megvalósításához megalapozott támogatást adhassunk. Módszer: Kutatás sorozatunkban kevert módszert alkalmaztunk, félig strukturált interjúkat és online kérdőíves vizsgálatot folytattunk. A kvalitatív interjúk keretében 182 vezetőt kérdeztünk meg, az online kérdőívet 245 fő töltötte ki. Eredmények: Kutatásunk eredménye alapján megállapíthatjuk, hogy a szervezeti változásban résztvevők hiedelmei pozitív kapcsolatban állnak változási készenlétükkel, és változásban vállalt szerepükkel, amely a pszichológiai tőke faktoraival és a pszichológiai tulajdonosság érzetével, valamint a szervezeti bizalommal is pozitívan korrelál. Következtetések: Eredményeink szerint a vezetők a tudatos változásvezetés mellett a szervezeti tagok meggyőződéseinek, hiedelmeinek alakításával, pszichológiai állapotának és változási erőforrásainak fejlesztésével segíthetik elő leginkább a szervezeti változásokat, és érhetik el azt, hogy mind szervezeti, mind egyén szinten jelentkezzen a szervezeti változások pozitív eredménye.

Authors:   Africa International University, Karen, Nairobi, Kenya, Sele John Philip , Mukundi Mark B.
Published: October 2024

Two of the most populous and economically varied countries in Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, continue to face significant obstacles to their development: educational inequality. The article examines the various facets of educational inequality in different nations, emphasizing the effects on the political and economic spheres. Differences in educational accessibility and quality between rural and urban regions, as well as between the north and the south, have contributed to social discontent, political disenfranchisement, and economic stagnation in Nigeria. In a similar vein, while there has been improvement in Kenya regarding educational access, notable inequalities still exist, especially in disadvantaged areas, which fuels political polarization and increases the economic divide. This article highlights effective solutions meant to solve these issues while examining the effects of unequal educational resource distribution on political polarization, economic development, and national stability. This study offers important insights into the larger consequences of educational disparity for sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa by contrasting the educational systems of Nigeria and Kenya.

ABSTRACT Obesity is recognized as a significant risk factor for various types of cancer. Although the incidence of some types of cancer across various primary sites is decreasing due to specific prevention measures (screening programs, smoking cessation), the incidence of neoplasms in the young population shows a significant increase associated with obesity. There is sufficient evidence to say that bariatric surgery has been shown to significantly lower the risk of developing obesity-associated cancers, which are linked to metabolic dysregulation, chronic low-grade systemic inflammation, and hormonal alterations such as elevated levels of insulin and sex hormones.
Women to the Forefront: A Case for Digital Medieval Prosopography
Authors: Blašković Marija
Published: October 2024

Despite the growing number of medievalist projects, it is difficult to identify the ones that use Iberian chronicles to study people from the gender perspective in a digital setting. To bridge this gap, a prosopographical database of all women mentioned in the Crónica de Castilla (ca. 1300) has been produced. This article documents its development from the initial interests to the practical considerations of its published online version. On the one hand, carefully chosen examples illustrate various issues of the systematic approach, therefore firmly reminding us that the generated data sets are neither simply extracted nor neutral. On the other hand, the included visualizations and the preliminary observations help uncover new and engaging avenues for examining the women in the Crónica de Castilla and, by extension, in other historical narratives.
Malgré le nombre croissant de projets médiévaux, il est difficile d’identifier ceux qui utilisent les chroniques ibériques pour étudier les individus sous l’angle du genre dans un cadre numérique. Pour combler cette lacune, une base de données prosopographique de toutes les femmes mentionnées dans la Crónica de Castilla (vers 1300) a été créée. Cet article documente son développement, depuis les intérêts initiaux jusqu’aux considérations pratiques la version qui a été publiée. D’une part, des exemples soigneusement choisis illustrent divers enjeux de l’approche systématique, rappelant ainsi fermement que les ensembles de données générés ne sont ni simplement extraits ni neutres. D’autre part, les visualisations incluses et les observations préliminaires permettent de découvrir de nouvelles pistes stimulantes pour examiner les femmes dans la Crónica de Castilla et, par extension, dans d’autres récits historiques.
