Public knowledge, sentiments, and perceptions of low dose radiation (LDR) and power production, with special reference to reactor accidents
Authors: Hurlbert Margot , Das Tanushree , Garelick Hemda , Priest Nicholas
Published: March 2024

People’s perceptions concerning radiation inform decision making in relation to nuclear power production. There have been extensive studies of people’s perceptions of radiation including in relation to the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear events. This paper reports on a social science literature review study and is concerned with public responses to low dose radiation (LDR) and nuclear facilities, particularly in the marine environment. This review confirms that people with little knowledge about radiation have the highest risk perceptions in relation to nuclear power; conversely people with a broader knowledge have lower risk perceptions and are more favourable to nuclear power. Education can increase positive perceptions, but the influence of underlying experience of feeling, emotion, attachment, or mood may dampen this effect. This paper reports studies which document anxiety within the Japanese community in relation to the Fukushima nuclear accident. Literature concerning specific radionuclides released is described. While there are uncertainties about the presence of health impacts following LDR exposures, public attitudes are not in line. There is a need for better dialogue between nuclear professionals and scientists to achieve better nuclear education and public communication outcomes; more specific communication surrounding multi-isotopes, and multi-elements of nuclear power plant disaster releases is warranted. Trusted communicators should include nuclear and social scientists as well as regulators. Given the importance of decarbonization in the context of climate change, this is increasingly important.

Authors: Zolghadri Samaneh , Badipa Fateme , Yousefnia Hassan , Shiri-Yekta Zahra
Published: March 2024

In this study, preclinical evaluation and dosimetric estimation of [64Cu]Cu-BPAMD, as a new bone-seeking agent for PET imaging, was studied. [64Cu]Cu-BPAMD was produced with a specific activity of 8.7 GBq/µmol and radiochemical purity (R.P.) of >98 %. The HA binding results showed the binding of nearly all [64Cu]Cu-BPAMD complex to HA at about 15 mg. Biodistribution studies in the male Syrian rats indicated considerable accumulation in the bone with negligible uptake in the other organs. The bone surface and the bone marrow receiving 0.199 and 0.092 mGy/MBq, respectively, are the organs with the most absorbed dose. This study confirms the production of [64Cu]Cu-BPAMD with high R.P. showing high potential for PET-imaging of bone metastases. The lower absorbed dose of mainly human organs compared to 68Ga-BPAMD can be considered one of the advantages of this new radiolabeled compound.

Authors: Liu Yuxing , Hu Yiqiao , Zhang Siyuan , Guo Yadong , Chen Yaqin , Fan Liangliang , Jin Jieyuan , Xiang Rong
Published: March 2024

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD), unexpected death based on sudden cardiac ejection cessation, accounts for 15–20% of unnatural deaths in developed countries. Primary electrical disorders (PEDs), a group of cardiac rhythm abnormalities without detectable structural heart disease, are a major cause of SCD in people younger than 35 years of age. Cardiac muscle contraction and relaxation are triggered by the action potential (AP), which is generated by ionic changes across the cell membrane. Thus, PEDs are influenced by mutations in AP-associated genes, such as KCNE1 and RYR2.

Methods: We recruited six patients with SCD and 42 patients with arrhythmia with onset under the age of 25, and used targeted sequencing to determine the genetic etiologies.

Results: We identified five mutations (RYR2: c.12269C>T, p.P4090L; KCNE1: c.169T>C, p.F57L; KCNQ1: c.853A>C, p.K285Q; KCNH2: c.793T>C, p.C265R, and TRPM4: c.2985_3012del, p.E996Gfs*118) in five families with PED/SCD.

Conclusions: We detected five mutations and expanded the mutation spectrum of PED-associated genes, thus contributing to the clinical diagnosis of PED.
Whence the 3 Percent?: How Far Have We Come toward Decentering America’s Literary Preference?
Authors: Rutherford Markella B. , Levitt Peggy , Zhang Erika
Published: March 2024

This article examines the production and prominence of literature translated into English, asking how far we have come toward decentering America’s literary offerings. Through analyses of the Publishers Weekly Translation Database, we find that global linguistic representation in American publishing remains low and skewed heavily toward the colonial languages of traditional cultural centers, with translations from French, Spanish, and German making up 45 percent of translations published in the United States. Books written in French tend to traverse pathways to translation that reinforce cultural hierarchies, whereas Spanish-language books get translated through different pathways that sometimes circumvent and sometimes include traditional centers. Approximately 60 percent of books translated into English are published by smaller-scale, independent presses and university-affiliated presses. At the pole of large-scale production, where the other 40 percent of translated literature is produced, there is increasing concentration among large conglomerate publishers. The recent entry of Amazon’s publishing arm has also dramatically increased the production of mass-market translated fiction in the United States.

But the question remains: how and where does translated literature become known and accessible to the American reading public? To find answers, we surveyed recent initiatives by mainstream media outlets to promote global literature and translations. Using two audit methods, we assess the visibility of translated books in the New York Times Book Review between 2008 and 2021. We found that only 5 percent of New York Times Book Review items include translated books, and that translations from French, German, Spanish, and Italian account for over half of those receiving full critical reviews. We conclude our discussion by suggesting that user-generated online platforms, such as Goodreads.com or Bookriot.com, may be fruitful sites for further investigation of how translated books might gain greater visibility among American readers. This digital literary sphere is ripe ground for further work seeking to understand the possibilities for diffusion and reception of translated literature and how this might advance the decentering of the global literary field.
“Respect Thy Father and Thy Mother in Old Age” – on the Social Determinants of the (in) Presence of Old Age in the Space of the Polish Family. Reminiscences of Representatives of the Baby Boomers Generation
Authors:   University of Białystok, Kramkowska Emilia
Published: March 2024

Old age is a life stage that is very often analyzed in the context of losses and the many difficulties that an elderly person must face. Dependence or reliance inherent for many seniors make their successful daily functioning require thirdparty support. Socio-cultural or legal rationales allow us to expect that help for dependent seniors will be provided by the family. However, the reality around us verifies this belief often to the disadvantage of the family environment. Moreover, it turns out that the opinion on the (in)presence of old age in the space of the Polish family, significantly depends on the generational affiliation of those who make an assessment of the state of affairs. This is due, among other things, to the social conditions and the axionormative system in which the socialization process of the representatives of each generation took place. The submitted article discusses the reminiscences of representatives of the generation of post-war Baby Boomers, i.e. people born between 1946 and 1964. Experiencing childhood and the years of early adolescence in the conditions of the Polish People’s Republic, including attachment to the family and religious values of Polish society at the time, are circumstances that cannot be ignored, determining the views of people growing up at the time. Based on qualitative research conducted in 2022, the text will discuss the recollections of women and men of the Baby Boomers generation regarding old age in the family space during their childhood, as well as opinions on contemporary trends. The author’s intention is to convince the reader that religion’s function of providing and sustaining a sense of meaning and purpose in existence, especially under the harsh reality of communist times, was not without influence on the identity and attitudes of the Baby Boomers generation growing up at the time.
Prayer in the Life and Pastoral Work of the Blessed Primate of the Millennium – Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1901-1981)
Authors:   John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Rynio Alina , Tatala Małgorzata ,   John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this publication is to present the role of prayer in the life and pastoral work of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. We used elements of the biographical method to discuss the main features of his personality and show that he constantly strove for holiness as he believed that the future of the world depends on saints. He respected the past and attributed great value to culture, tradition and liturgy. Being an unyielding defender of Poland and the Church in the times of the communist regime, he was a man of heroic prayer. In his view, the ideals of life are based on harmony between God and the people. Therefore, this paper recalls the figure of the Primate who, through his life witness, believed, dreamed, longed and worked to restore balance in Polish society shattered by opposing political or ideological trends. In discussing prayer, we recall the Cardinal’s attitude toward acts of personal devotion, the rosary, breviary prayer and the daily Eucharist. We also point out his devotion to the liturgical year, the Sunday Eucharistic celebration and his service to Mary, mother of God. Characterising the main fields of the Primate’s pastoral activities, we distinguish individual periods associated with his ministry. We discuss in detail the period of his three-year imprisonment during which he sketched national pastoral programs.
God’s Omnipotence Versus the Pauli Principle. Philosophical and Scientific Inquiry into the Limits of Divine Power and the Fundamental Nature of Reality. Part 1
Authors:   Beýik Türkmenbaşy Studio of Dutar Music, Pilaka Kapela , Sivasamy Ramesh ,   School of Physical Sciences, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Mysore, Szaciłowski Konrad ,   AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków

This interdisciplinary research paper delves into the intriguing juxtaposition of God’s omnipotence versus the Pauli exclusion principle. Combining theological contemplation with the principles of quantum mechanics, the paper navigates the complexities of divine power and the physical constraints observed at the subatomic level. In the quest for common ground between theology and science, we explore historical perspectives on God’s omnipotence, the origin and significance of the Pauli exclusion principle, and the interplay between quantum mechanics and classical physics. The paper examines logical paradoxes that arise when contemplating God’s omnipotence and explores alternative theological views on divine power. Embracing the significance of interdisciplinary dialogue, we identify shared principles between theology and science, emphasizing epistemic humility, rational inquiry, and the unity of knowledge. The paper concludes with reflections on the ethical considerations and the potential avenues for future research into the intricate interplay between God’s omnipotence and the Pauli exclusion principle. This exploration celebrates the beauty of intellectual integration and inspires an ongoing quest for truth, wisdom, and unity of thought in understanding the cosmos and the divine.
The Swelling Ability of Pulp Fibres
Authors:   Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute (STFI), Salm6n Lennart , Berthold Jesper ,   Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute (STFI)
Published: March 2024

The swelling of fibres in water has a large impact on the consolidation of the web in papermaking and thus on the properties of the final paper. The water taken up by the fibre is held by many different mechanisms and it is not always clear from the techniques used which quantity of water is being measured. In this report, an attempt is made to obtain more knowledge regarding the water- holding mechanisms of fibres, by studying the amounts of bound water, of pore water and of the total water in the fibres. Effects of delignification, recycling, beating and ion exchange are examined. It is concluded that the amount of bound water is a reflection only of the wood polymer composition of the fibre, whereas the pore water is affected by physical changes of the fibre wall. The ionic charges mainly affect the surface water of the fibre.
Diffusion Controlled Kinetics of Electrolyte Transfer within the Pulp Fiber Wall: Estimation of Fiber Wall Pore Structure
Authors:   Metsä-Serla Group, Corporate R & D, Silenius Petri , Lindström Matti ,   Lappeenranta University of Technology, Department of Chemical Technology
Published: March 2024

A kinetic model for diffusion of ions within the fiber wall is introduced. A good fit for the model was obtained with data from experiments, where diffusion of electrolyte through the fiber wall was studied by means of simple conductivity measurements. This model together with the respective experimental data makes it possible to study the pore structure of fibers. For the experiments done the pore structure of fibers was first controlled by precipitating calcium carbonate within the fiber walls. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of ions within unfilled and calcium carbonate filled fiber wall was about 1 .5 and 0.5 % of that in water, respectively, when experiments were done for fibers without pit apertures. Experiments were made for fibers with different degree of drying as well. The results showed that the diffusion of electrolyte reduced with replicate dryings as expected. After the dryings, the diffusion coefficient was less than half of that within newer dried fiber.

Authors: Wolf Norbert Richard
Published: March 2024

SCHWEIGEN (keeping silent/saying nothing) is effective in communication as a speech act and differentiates itself from brakes that do not have communicative functions. We can differ between two forms of being silent (SCHWEIGEN): not saying anything and saying nothing. According to context and/or consituation saying nothing (SCHWEIGEN) has different various functions.
Phonästhemische Lexem-Cliquen mit Nasal-Stop-Sequenzen in germanischen und anderen indoeuropäischen Sprachen
Authors: Lühr Rosemarie
Published: March 2024

The Aristotelian five-senses system is essentially reflected in the phonaesthetic nasal stop sequences. The reason for adding movement is that perception and movement are a whole, a body feeling that enables the body to be integrated into the outside world and into space in general. The joy that a smile evokes is also based on the fact that different sensory perceptions influence each other.
Die Movierung im Dialekt von Deutschpilsen (ungarisch Nagybörzsöny)
Authors: Márkus Éva
Published: March 2024

The aim of the article is to present the feminization in the German dialect of Deutschpilsen. The dialectal form and function show a fundamentally different scheme than in standard German. Firstly, the form is different from that in standard German, namely the suffix -(r)ai, but on the other hand, this form also has other functions besides gender inflection in the dialect, which are also shown in the article. This also deviates from standard German usage, where the suffix -in only serves the function of feminization.

Published: March 2024

The Hlučín Region, which today forms part of the Czech Republic, is a region whose name was used in modern times and for the first time in connection with its annexation to the Czechoslovak Republic in 1920. The course of its eventful history, which was determined by various power interests, was significantly influenced over the centuries by the coexistence of the Czech/Moravian population with the German minority. The influence of the German language, culture, customs and manners is reflected in political and social coexistence as well as, among other things. in the regional folk songs. The folk songs in the Hultčín region were collected by a number of collectors of oral tradition. The German-written folk song collection Dreiunddreißig Lieder aus Hultschin. Mährische Volkslieder were compiled by the writer August Scholtis.
Zur Transformation der Narrativität in aktuellen Theaterund Videoadaptionen des Romans ,Die Wand‘ von Marlen Haushofer
Authors: Pytlík Petr
Published: March 2024

This article goes into the process of adapting the novel ,Die Wand‘ by Marlen Haushofer. An attempt is made to further explore the effects of transmediation (Elleström 2017) and intermediale Aufpfropfung (Wirth 2006) at the narrative perspective level. The key question, which is addressed based on an analysis of selected theatrical adaptations, is: What effects does transmediation and intermediale Aufpfropfung have on the perception of the literary-theatrical (filmic) text on the narrative level? And further: Which intermedial transfers come into play on the narrative level and which narrative factors of the original are suppressed during the adaptation process?
Heldinnen der Gegenwart. Die Versepen von Ann Cotten und Anne Weber als Brücken zwischen Antike und Postmoderne
Authors: Lorenz Susanne
Published: March 2024

When most people think of the genre epic poem, they probably think of the great epics of antiquity and the Middle Ages. The further one follows literary history into the present, the rarer one encounters this art form. Two contemporary German-language authors, however, have deliberately chosen this form to tell heroine stories, in keeping with the tradition of the genre: Ann Cotten’s verse epic ‘Verbannt!’ (2016) and Anne Weber’s ‘Annette, ein Heldinnenepos’ (2020). Although both works are dedicated to the same form and function, they differ strikingly in both aspects.
Effect of Bonding Type on the Failure of Reinforced Concrete Beam Strengthened with In-Situ High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Layer
Authors: Nemessányi Cecília , Pluzsik Anikó
Published: March 2024

High performance fibre reinforced concrete (HPFRC) materials with tensile hardening behaviour can effectively be used for strengthening reinforced concrete beams. A perfect bond between the original and the reinforcing layer cannot be formed, the load-bearing capacity and ductility of the strengthened beam can significantly be affected by the interfacial bond strength between the contacting surfaces. In this paper, beam retrofitting with cast in-situ strengthening type is examined. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the impact of the different bond types on the load-bearing capacity, ductility, and failure mode of the strengthened beams in the case of cast in-situ strengthening. Twenty-four beam tests were performed with untreated and rough surfaced beams, with or without connecting elements. The effect of the bond type proved to be significant regarding the failure mode in the case of compression side strengthening, stronger bond resulted in higher load bearing capacity and ductility, too. When tensile side reinforcement was investigated no average increment was experienced in the maximal force and ductility due to the stronger bond. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the generally applied analytical models that assume perfect connection may lead to exaggerated results in the case of a compressed side HPC-strengthened beam. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a model that considers the effect of the imperfect bond.
Evaluation of the cardiopulmonary size on slot-scanning full-spine radiographs
Authors: Naidoo Pershalia , Botz Bálint
Published: March 2024

Background

Slot-scanning EOS radiography is increasingly utilised in skeletal imaging. It has been shown that EOS often reveals significant incidental findings including cardiopulmonary abnormalities. Furthermore, the slot-scanning image acquisition of EOS can substantially influence depiction of cardiac morphology, which can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the technique.

Patients and methods

We aimed to explore the relationship between the depicted cardiac anatomy EOS and chest x-ray, by analysis of the differences in the measurements of the cardiothoracic ratio in 52 patients who had an erect, postero-anterior chest radiograph in deep inspiration, with less than a year difference to the EOS spine radiograph. Internal chest and cardiac diameter were measured, and the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) was calculated as a surrogate marker for gross cardiac size.

Results

We have found that EOS consistently yields a lower internal chest diameter, and as a result higher CTR (P < 0.0001). However CTR measured on EOS and plain radiograph show strong correlation (P < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plots also revealed a consistently higher CTR on EOS, and a high intra-individual variability of cardiac and chest diameters on EOS vs. x-ray. CTR measured on EOS showed correlation with age (P < 0.05).

Discussion

We show that the CTR on EOS radiographs is consistently higher compared to the chest radiography, and while cardiac diameter shows only minimal difference, chest diameter measured on EOS is markedly lower. This should be considered by those reporting spine EOS imaging to avoid overcalling incidental cardiomegaly.
Impact of vitamin C on the development, differentiation and functional properties of T cells
Authors: Sasidharan Nair Varun , Huehn Jochen
Published: March 2024

Vitamin C plays a multifaceted role in various biological processes and is well-known to facilitate pleiotropic activities in both innate and adaptive immune responses, where the antioxidant capacity of vitamin C is most likely highly relevant since immune responses mainly occur in reducing environments. Beyond its antioxidant properties, vitamin C can enhance the transcription potential of genes by promoting DNA demethylation through ten-eleven-translocation (Tet) methylcytosine dioxygenases, which have been recently demonstrated to be critical for the development and differentiation of T cells. In this minireview, we will provide a broader overview on the impact of vitamin C on signaling and regulatory activities in both innate and adaptive immune cells. Particularly, we will summarize recent findings on the decisive role of finely tuned vitamin C concentrations for T cell development, T helper cell differentiation, and optimal T cell-mediated immune responses.

Immunotherapy (IO) with or without targeted therapy (TT) is the standard treatment for patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The evidence supporting their use in metastatic nonclear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) subtypes is based on small prospective trials and retrospective analyses. Here, we report survival outcomes for patients with metastatic nccRCC treated with IO and/or TT at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada. Demographics, disease characteristics, and survival outcomes were collected retrospectively. Overall (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rates (ORR) were calculated. We identified 69 patients with metastatic nccRCC treated with IO and/or TT as the first-line treatment, and 36 (52.1%) patients as the second-line treatment. Median OS of the first line IO recipients (n = 12) and non-IO recipients (n = 57) was not reached (NR) and 17.2 months (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 7.3–27.0; P = 0.23), respectively. Median PFS of first-line IO recipients and non-IO recipients was NR and 4.7 months (95% CI: 3.7–5.6; P = 0.019), respectively. The ORR of IO recipients versus non-IO recipients was 50% versus 12.3% (P = 0.007). Median OS of the second-line IO recipients (n = 8) and non-IO recipients (n = 28) was NR and 6.3 months (95% CI: 3.2–9.3; P = 0.003), respectively. Median PFS of second-line IO recipients and non-IO recipients was 4.8 months (95% CI: 2.7–6.8) and 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.8–3.7; P = 0.014), respectively. ORR of IO recipients and non-IO recipients was 37.5% and 3.5%, respectively; P = 0.028. While the number of patients included in our retrospective review was small, our analysis suggested that patients with nccRCC have improved survival outcomes with IO treatment. Validation of prospective dataset is required before widespread clinical utilization.
Sobre ética y derecho en la filosofía de Kant
Authors: Arteta Ripoll Cristóbal
Published: March 2024

Estas reflexiones sobre algunos aspectos de la filosofía de uno de los pensadores más profundos de la modernidad pretenden mostrar cómo el propósito de Kant fue crear una ética racional radicalmente distinta de la ética empírica de los pensadores ingleses y franceses del siglo XVIII. En tal sentido, su reflexión fue el resultado no del estudio y observación directa del hombre y sus actos sino del ejercicio de la razón, toda vez que estructuró su filosofía racionalista utilizando como núcleo el ideal del bien supremo como fundamento determinante del fin último de la existencia del hombre. Es en su gran obra: Crítica de la razón pura (1781), en donde expone con claridad que es este el ideal al que siempre la humanidad debe aspirar. La filosofía moral, expuesta magistralmente por Kant, principalmente en dos de sus grandes obras: Crítica de la razón práctica y Metafísica de las costumbres, es el fundamento de su filosofía del derecho y de la interesante relación que establece entre la ley moral y la libertad.
Nuevas miradas para viejos temas: sujetos, política y combates por la educación en el “Macondo de García Márquez”. Una reflexión desde el oficio de historiador
Authors: Alarcón Meneses Luis
Published: March 2024

Los historiadores y no pueden asumir una actitud contemplativa o reverencial por lo que se ha contado antes. En efecto, los historiadores tienen el compromiso de revisar y analizar desde nuevas preguntas los viejos temas, para poder encontrar en ellos nuevas interpretaciones que con seguridadhabrán de contribuir al entendimiento de las realidades actuales. De ello se trata este artículo, a través del cual se busca realizar, desde el oficio del historiador, una mirada modesta sin pretensiones teóricas o de orden metodológico. Estas son solo algunas reflexiones no acabadas, sobre las nuevas miradas que es necesario dar al sujeto social y su relación con la política, entendida esta como la multitud de actos de vida que comprometen los distintos planos en los que se mueven los sujetos, quienes a lo largo de la historia han convertido la educación en centro de disputas, al mismo tiempoque sus miradas son las que imprimen el sello a las políticas educativas, procesos que si bien es cierto han sido objeto de estudio por parte de quienes se ocupan de la historia de la educación en el “Macondo de García Márquez” –léase Caribe colombiano–, requieren ser abordados desde perspectivas que trasciendan lo meramente pedagógico.
La cuestión negra y el Caribe. Un ejercicio ludosófico
Authors: Coley José Gabriel
Published: March 2024

Este breve ensayo es una mirada holística sobre las negritudes, desde cuando aparecen en la historia y fueron incorporadas a Occidente (siglos XV – XVI), su esclavitud y actual discriminación; pero haciendo énfasis en el Gran Caribe donde se han naturalizado marcando definitivamente la cultura de esta región. Se trata además de un ejercicio “ludosófico”,es decir, lúdico pero también del saber y del logos, para hacer justicia con esta etnia que tanto nos recuerda el origen de la especie humana en África. De allí partimos todos hacia todos los confines del planeta para poblarlo y diversificarnos.Pero somos uno y mismidad, a pesar de las formas externas. Y cuánto le debemos a los negros en estos últimos cinco siglos y cuánto han aportado al desarrollo material de la humanidad que ha querido deshumanizarlos. Pero el Caribe los ha acogido y estos han sabido aportar su color, sus creencias y su inteligencia como ingredientes fundamentales en la construcción de la raza cósmica de Vasconselos que tanta intimidad guarda con el mar.

«La cultura es el aprovechamiento social de la inteligencia humana» dijo García Márquez –alguna vez en La Habana– en uno de sus tantos momentos de lucidez prolífica. El 7 de agosto de 2003, apareció en la fachada de la Asamblea Nacional Francesa una exposición titulada Mariannes d’aujourd’hui (Marianas de hoy). Eran trece largos pendones que se precipitaban hacia abajo; tenían grabados las fotos de algunas mujeres provenientes del Norte de África y otras descendientes de negros africanos. Las mujeres –musulmanas, la gran mayoría– cubrían su cabeza con un gorro rojo revolucionario a cambio del velo.
Cimarrones y palenques en el actual dpto. Del Atlántico. El caso de tabacal: resistencias y exclusión
Authors: Romero Jaramillo Dolcey
Published: March 2024

El actual departamento del Atlántico, otrora partido de Tierradentro, al igual que toda la provincia de Cartagena de la cual hizo parte, fue escenario de significativos y exitosos procesos de cimarronaje, muchos de los cuales culminaron en la creación de varios palenques. Los montes de Luruaco y el triángulo formado por estos, el canal del Dique y el río Magdalena se constituyeron en núcleos y epicentros de la resistencia cimarrona. No obstante, a esta realidad la historiografía que se dedica a estos temas, por diferentes motivos ha sobredimensionado solo al palenque de San Basilio y ha ocultado e invisibilizado la importancia histórica del Palenque de Tabacal, enclavado en las Serranías o Montes de Luruaco. En consecuencia, el presente artículo muestra no solo la importancia de este palenque sino también su beligerancia y resistencia para defender su libertad; a tal punto que las autoridades y la elite cartagenera del momento los excluyeron de los acuerdos que se habían establecido para solucionar la confrontación por la vía dialogada que le aplicaron a los cimarrones de los Montes de María.

Authors: Peña Orozco Carlos , Pérez Ruiz Mara Daniela , Cantillo Romero Jesús David
Published: March 2024

En este artículo se identifica el posible concepto de justicia propio de la comunidad indígena Zenú en el departamento de Sucre a partir  de la teoría del multiculturalismo de Will Kymlicka, lo que permitió comprender qué prácticas, ideas y principios son asociados por esta comunidad con el concepto de justicia que históricamente han elaborado. Para ello se realizó una revisión bibliográfica, legislativa y jurisprudencial, que fue complementada con la realización de entrevistas que, en conjunto, permitieron reconocer cómo para ellos la justicia emana de la conciencia y labor de su comunidad, de la investigación judicial, del propio proceso y de la proporcionalidad de sus medidas para con los delitos cometidos.
Implicaciones personales de la reorganización del trabajo en el capitalismo contemporáneo. Un desafíopara la ética.
Authors: Muñoz Miralles Albert
Published: March 2024

El trabajo representa, en las sociedades modernas, un canal primordial para el desarrollo de la identidad personal y para la inserción social de los individuos, consistiendo en diferentes prácticas que son generadoras de sentido y promotoras de valores. Sin embargo, la realización del trabajo está siendo notablemente alterada debido a los cambios económicos, tecnológicos e institucionales que están produciéndose en los últimos tiempos. La participación individual en el mundo económico y laboral es cada vez más compleja, provocando una reformulación del proceso de formación de la identidad, de los valores y principios sobre los que se sostiene. De ahí la necesidad de introducir la reflexión ética sobre las consecuencias que los procesos de cambio en el sistema económico capitalista en la ordenación de las sociedades y las vidas de las personas.
Pobreza crónica en Chimá, Colombia: Exploración de algunos factores causales
Authors: Morales Fonseca Julio
Published: March 2024

Analizamos las conexiones entre resultados de mediciones de pobreza multidimensional e indicadores de pobreza crónica, con referencia al municipio de Chimá y al departamento de Córdoba. Se revisan documentos gubernamentales y de prensa producidos entre los años 2013 a 2018 e información académica que ubica históricamente el fenómeno. Se ofrece una primera interpretación sobre la pobreza no solo referida a su carácter multidimensional, sino también relacionada con su cronicidad y su carácter relacional y procesual. Encontramos, como primeros resultados, una estrecha relación con la corrupción, y la necesidad de estudiar la pobreza crónica a partir de estudios etnográficos contextualizados.

Development of equipment and technology for pelletizing iron ore charge in production of pellets
Authors: Pavlovets V. M.
Published: March 2024

New possibilities of pelletizing process in pellet production can improve the production performance. The principles of induced nucleation in the pelletizing technique expand its technological capabilities. The technical indicators of the new pellet production technology and the physical parameters of wet pellets make it possible to increase the metallurgical properties of agglomerated raw materials. The presented technical diagrams reflect the production capabilities of induced nucleation in the processes of forming a sprayed layer (SL) of the charge and its division by various technical devices. The design features and technological modes of the developed technical schemes are implemented on a typical disc pelletizer. Experimental data obtained during implementation of the developed technological schemes make it possible to change the relative values of strength, mass and moisture content of the pellets during pelletizing of the iron ore charge. These parameters can be adjusted during loading of charge, its spraying onto the charge shell of the pelletizer, dividing the sprayed layer of the charge into nuclei and further pelletizing of the nuclei to form a pellet shell. An assessment of these technological schemes led to selection of the most effective solutions based on thermal power spraying of wet charge, taking into account its adhesion, material consumption and complexity of the equipment design. For practical use, we recommend a combined technological scheme for the production of pellets using the induced nucleation technology on the basis of SL formation of a single air-charge jet (ACJ) containing strengthening additives, on a pre-profiled skull and dividing the SL into nuclei by a conical drum equipped with a metal string. At the end of the technological cycle of pellet production, increased porosity with a high proportion of open pores is formed in the central embryonic part of the pellets. The pellets have a low moisture content (ΘW = 0.97) and a favorable pore structure. In the forecast, they require less energy consumption for their subsequent heat treatment. The technology makes it possible to produce pellets with the required and maximum strength (ΘП ≥ 1.0) 12 – 16 mm in size with higher productivity (ΘM = 0.68). In the course of experiments, it was found that the technology of preliminary nucleation has high reliability and versatility, and it can be easily introduced into the existing production.
A simplified and evidence-informed approach to removable partial dentures. Part 4. Seven simple steps to design
Authors: Owen CP
Published: March 2024

For many decades the literature has regularly reported that there is a discrepancy between what is taught in dental school and what is practised, especially in the fi eld of removable partial dentures. Not only that, but for more than 60 years reports from around the world have shown that, usually, the majority of clinicians abdicate their responsibility to design a removable partial denture (RPD) and instead leave this to the dental technician, who has no knowledge of the clinical condition of the patient and works only from a cast. Most patients around the world who require RPDs to improve aesthetics and chewing can only afford a removable prosthesis simply because the majority are poor. But RPDs can improve these aspects and contribute to an improved quality of life.

Published: March 2024

A 27-year-old male patient presented with a six-month history of swelling involving the left posterior mandible. The patient’s medical history revealed no co-morbidities and the dental history was non-contributory. Extra-orally, there was a localised hard bony swelling involving the left posterior mandible. Intra-oral examination revealed a full complement of teeth with the left maxillary lateral incisor crown appearing malformed and a retained left maxillary deciduous canine. A panoramic radiograph revealed a well-defined, multilocular radiolucency with scalloped inferior borders in the left posterior mandible associated with the fi rst to third molars (Figure 1). On further examination, a periapical was taken and revealed that the left maxillary lateral incisor appeared malformed with a periapical radiolucency (Figure 2). The periapical radiograph confi rmed the presence of a double dens invaginatus on the mesial and distal aspects. The patient was referred for an incisional biopsy of the lesion in the left posterior mandible, which was subsequently diagnosed as an inflamed odontogenic keratocyst and managed accordingly.
