The root of Pueraria labata, Puerariae radix(PR), a leguminous plant that grows wild, is one of the first and most significant basic herbs used in traditional medicine for a variety of therapeutic uses. PR is high in isoflavonoids including daidzein and genistein, which have been shown to protect against bone loss caused by oestrogen insufficiency. In an osteoporotic animal model, soybean isoflavones have been shown to reduce bone loss. CGF (canagliflozin) appears to raise the risk of fractur. In diabetic rats, the potential function of PR in reversing CGFinduced bone loss was investigated. A rat model was used to investigate the effects of Puerariae radix extract (PRE) on blood glucose, HBA1C levels, and bone mineral density. Control group (vehicle therapy), Diabetic group, `PRE group, Canagliflozin (CGF), and CGF +PRE group were all made up of six Wistar albino rats. Each medication was given by gastric gavage once a day for 35 days. PRE treatment increased bone mass substantially when compared to normal controls. This suggests that PRE might be developed as an alternative therapy for osteoporosis caused by anti-diabetic drugs. Keywords: Puerariae radix, Diabetic osteoporosis, streptozotocin, Canagliflozin.
Cambio y reversión. La política de Estados Unidos hacia Irán durante las presidencias de Barack H. Obama y Donald J. Trump
Authors: Ortíz Almanza Jorge Alberto
Published: September 2021

Con base en esfuerzos teóricos sobre el estudio del cambio en política exterior, especialmente referentes a los enfoques decisionales y de la reestructuración, este trabajo argumenta que la modificación estratégica de la política estadounidense hacia Irán surgió con Barack H. Obama a partir de la noción de fracaso del curso de acción previo y la amenaza que representa el programa nuclear iraní, aunque estuvo limitado por retos en tres ejes a lo largo del proceso para lograr un acercamiento que solucionara algunos temas de la agenda, especialmente la cuestión nuclear. Tal situación explica la reversión de los avances en la administración Trump, quien fue en sentido inverso en algunos aspectos de la política de Obama. La contribución teórica consiste en extender el análisis más allá de la fase en la que se decide el cambio para esclarecer sus límites y posibilidades de consolidación, con base en el rastreo de interacciones entre actores promotores, el sujeto receptor y aquellos que resisten. Este enfoque es útil al considerar la noción de promoción del cambio y resistencia, que resulta pertinente para ilustrar el desafío al que se enfrentará Joe R. Biden para conducir la política hacia Irán.

Published: September 2021

Se explica la forma de trabajo a distancia en la Unidad de aprendizaje de Filosofía I en el Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos No. 1 “Gonzalo Vázquez Vela” del Instituto Politécnico Nacional de México. Se emplearon preguntas detonadoras para la reflexión, guía y evaluación de los aprendizajes en las secuencias didácticas implementadas a través de Google Classroom y Zoom Cloud Meeting. Se observó que los alumnos guiados por las preguntas detonadoras a lo largo de la secuencia didáctica desarrollaron los aprendizajes deseados. La práctica sugiere que guiar a los alumnos a través de preguntas detonadoras forja la reflexión, el pensamiento crítico y abstracción de los saberes conceptuales al identificar la aplicabilidad de los contenidos estudiados en su vida cotidiana.
Ezycart: Multivendor E-Commerce Website
Authors: Goyal Dushyant
Published: September 2021

Abstract: Due to the Pandemic, we saw a rise in the use of online or digital resources. Since the lockdown was imposed, thus day to day commute was affected severely. The vendors and markets that relied on customers this commute were severely affected. Thus, it saw the necessity to shift the business to online platforms like Amazon, Snapdeal, etc. From these experiences, the idea of Ezycart came into play, with a motive to boost the online infrastructure of E-Commerce specific to the needs and demands of the population of our country (India), easy-to-use, secure, and user-friendly Multi-vendor Website helping connect the local vendors and shops with the consumer and providing on-demand good and services. The objective of this project is to develop a general-purpose e-commerce store where any product can be bought from the comfort of home through the Internet. Unlike traditional commerce that is carried out physically with the effort of a person to go & get products, eCommerce has made it easier for humans to reduce physical work and to save time. E-Commerce which was started in the early 1990s has taken a great leap in the world of computers, but the fact that has hindered the growth of ecommerce is security. Security is the challenge facing e-commerce today & there is still a lot of advancement made in the field of security.
A Comparative Study on Seismic Assessment of Building Using SMA in Base Isolation and Beam Column Joints
Authors: Babar Zeeshan Ahmad
Published: September 2021

Abstract: The seismic design of the moment-resistant plastic frames is aimed at forcing the structure to respond to the strong action of the weak beam, in which plastic loops are expected to form into beams on the faces of the columns. The regions of the khang are described in detail in such a way that the output of longitudinal steel bars allows to dissipate the energy of the earthquake. If SE SMA is used as a reinforcement instead of steel in the right places of the hinges or in the basic insulation, it will not only be able to dissipate adequate seismic energy, but also restore its original shape after the seismic event. Due to the higher cost compared to the cost of other building materials, SMA longitudinal ribs can be used together with steel ribs in the articulated areas of the beams. Such BCJs can allow design engineers to design connections that show minor damage and mitigate joint repairs after an earthquake. Keywords: Seismic, base isolation, SMA, beam, column & joints
Understanding Transitional Spaces: A Case Study of three different phases of Delhi – Old Delhi, Colonial Delhi and Contemporary Delhi
Authors: Kawatra Ar. Anjali
Published: September 2021

Abstract: Any space needs to be conceptualized by thorough study of environment, its surroundings and community needs. These spaces are planned to provide a distinct function but many spaces are created with no definite function and are used as a changeover between two spaces. These spaces are referred as ‘Transition Spaces ’and they generate a ‘Spatial prospect ’for many activities, rather than serving a specific function. In this changing time of urbanization, the skyline of the city is changing from traditional buildings to glittering glass and steel structures, overshadowing the existing fabric of the city. This change is sudden not gradual. One perceives the landmarks and left behind are the unrecognizable edges and nodes. These nodes and edges are spaces where people interact and intermingle and thus transition spaces are formed. These transition spaces play a vital role in environmental behavior. The idea of this study is to understand the essence of a space in which one experiences a shift. This shift is important because that is the area where most of the activities happen. Space, like man, needs an identity else it would be lost in time. It is necessary for us to be able to distinguish between the ideas of such places, else understanding the transitions would be difficult. ‘People and space depend on one another; they share each other their true colours. ’(Hertzberger, 2000)

Authors: Karvekar Arvind Vishnu
Published: September 2021

Abstract: The current work presents an experimental study on rehabilitation of RC beam by stitching method. For the study, a total of Twenty-Four RC beams were casted and cured for 28 days. Among the beams casted, three is control beam. Under two point loading, the control beam was tested for ultimate failure load and remaining twenty one beams were loaded for 75% of the ultimate failure load. The damaged beams were then rehabilitated by Stitching method using two different patterns. The rehabilitated beams were tested for ultimate failure load and the results are compared with control beam and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation is determined. From the result it is observed that as the diameter is gone increasing the flexural strength of the beam is gone increasing. As the depth of insertion of the bar inside the beam is gone increasing the flexural strength of the beam is gone increasing. It is concluded from this study that stitching methods is effective to restore the flexure capacity of damaged beams. Keywords: Rehabilitation, Reinforced Concrete Beam, Stitching Method

Authors: Amador Cannals Annia Cristina , Vargas Rodríguez Ledmar Jovanny , Rodríguez Mongui David Alexis , Aborashed Amador Nahala Fahed , Rozo Ortiz Edwar Jassir
Published: September 2021

Introducción: La enfermedad del coronavirus (COVID – 19) surgió en Wuhan, China a finales del año 2019. Este es un microorganismo, que por su secuenciación de genoma y análisis filogénico pertenece al grupo de betacoronavirus en el mismo subgénero que el virus del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS). El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar las afecciones y manifestaciones clínicas renales de los pacientes con infección por este virus.  

Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura, donde se incluyeron estudios que evaluaran afecciones, manifestaciones y repercusiones renales en pacientes mayores de 18 años con infección por COVID-19. Las búsquedas fueron realizadas usando las bases de datos de Pubmed/Medline, Science direct, Scopus, BIREME, Redalyc, Scielo y el Directory of Open Acess Journals (DOAJ).  

Resultados: En total se incluyeron 24 estudios donde se mencionaban las distintas afecciones renales de estos pacientes. A nivel microscópico existen distintas alteraciones tales como pérdida del borde en cepillo, degeneración vacuolar, dilatación de la luz tubular con restos celulares y en algunas ocasiones necrosis franca en los túbulos proximales, desprendimiento epitelial de la membrana basal tubular y pielonefritis aguda con múltiples focos bacterianos y cilindros de células polimorfonucleares (PMN) difusos en los túbulos. A nivel del glomérulo se observó expansión mensangial nodular y la presencia de abundantes eritrocitos que obstruían las luces capilares peritubulares.

Conclusiones: El SARS-CoV-2 es un virus que tiene alta afinidad por los receptores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina II (ECA-2), los cuales se encuentran en distintos órganos del cuerpo, incluyendo los riñones. La unión del virus a este receptor puede conllevar distintas alteraciones microscópicas en las células renales, lo cual va a generar algunos trastornos importantes como alteraciones hidroelectrolíticas, elevación o aumento de creatinina sérica, siendo un indicador de lesión renal aguda que en algunos casos puede cronificarse en estos pacientes.

Published: September 2021

La amiloidosis constituye una complicación importante en los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica terminal que son sometidos a hemodiálisis durante extensos períodos de tiempo. Al igual que en otras amiloidosis sistémicas, la amiloidosis asociada a hemodiálisis está formada por diferentes sustancias, algunas de ellas de carácter fibrilar, como la ?eta-2-microglobulina, la cual representa una de las proteínas de mayor relevancia dada su implicación etiopatogénica. A pesar de que las técnicas de hemodiálisis han sido mejoradas con el paso de los años, dicha entidad continúa siendo una complicación relativamente frecuente; tal es que se puede presentar hasta en el 80% de los pacientes con hemodiálisis prolongadas. Por lo tanto, se hizo imprescindible realizar una revisión narrativa partiendo de la literatura científica disponible en las diferentes bases de datos con el objetivo de contribuir a mejorar y actualizar el conocimiento del médico en dicho tópico; abarcando desde los aspectos generales y su fisiopatología, hasta su presentación clínica, diagnóstico, y tratamiento.
Considerações sobre os desafios jurídicos do uso da Inteligência Artificial na medicina
Authors: Santos Denise Oliveira dos , Lucas Luciana Berbigier
Published: September 2021

O uso da Inteligência Artificial na medicina possibilita que uma quantidade grande de dados seja analisada com altos índices de precisão e em um curto espaço de tempo. Todavia, por se tratar de uma tecnologia sem precedentes e que evolui em uma proporção imensurável a cada dia, a Ciência do Direito se vê impelida a se adaptar para que possa lidar com a demanda jurídica decorrente dessa nova realidade. Como forma de auxiliar a pesquisa jurídica a refletir sobre o assunto, o presente trabalho se propõe a analisar aspectos relevantes sobre o estudo da responsabilização pelos atos de Inteligência Artificial, especialmente os relacionados à medicina. A primeira parte identifica as principais características das tecnologias que operam através do uso da Inteligência Artificial. A segunda, apresenta reflexões sobre o tema especificamente na área médica e, por fim, a terceira parte analisa a responsabilização pelos eventuais danos causados pelas máquinas que operam utilizando a Inteligência Artificial. Foi utilizado o método de pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica. Verificou-se que a utilização de Inteligência Artificial, em especial na área médica, envolve riscos que devem ser cuidadosamente ponderados em face dos benefícios que possa proporcionar, sobretudo diante da insegurança e incerteza jurídica que a temática apresenta já que, no Brasil, até o presente momento, inexiste legislação específica sobre o tema da responsabilização por atos autônomos de sistemas de Inteligência Artificial.
Binomia e estranho em Noite na Taverna, de Álvares de Azevedo
Authors: Pereira Danglei Castro
Published: September 2021

O artigo discute traços fantásticos na obra Noite na taverna, de Álvares de Azevedo. O percurso crítico adotado toma como fonte teórica as considerações de Todorov (2003) e a presença da binômia azevediana como elemento constitutivo da obra, bem como a presença do grotesco, conforme Hugo (1992) como elementos importantes na obra. Apoiados nos conceitos de sublime em Longino (2020) e grotesco em Hugo (1992) vislumbramos a presença de elementos estéticos do fantástico estranho, conforme Todorov (2003), em nosso corpus. Evitaremos, neste estudo, problematizar a ideia de Longino (2020) quanto ao efeito do extraordinário como marca do sublime, preferimos, na linha organizacional deste artigo, apontar para a ideia de transcendência ao real imediato em relação ao imagético, nas considerações do autor grego, como ponto de contato entre sua reflexão sobre o sublime e a classificação feita por Todorov (2003) em relação ao fantástico. Como principal percurso metodológico comentamos o corpus de forma a abordar elementos estilísticos e estéticos no texto de Álvares de Azevedo que mobilizam aspectos como o grotesco, o riso e o estranho em busca do diálogo entre real natural e o sobrenatural entendidos como fatores de construção do universo ficcional de caráter fantástico em Noite na taverna.

Authors: Almaqtari Faozi A. , Al-Ahdal Waleed M. , Mishra Nandita , Tabash Mosab I.
Published: September 2021

This study explores the impact of corporate governance mechanisms (CGMs) of compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS). A sample of 70 firms listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) over a period of two years from 2016–2017 to 2017–2018 was used. The results revealed that board independence, size, expertise, size of the audit committee, expertise and independence exhibit a significant influence on compliance with Ind-AS. However, no significant effect was found regarding the board and audit committee diligence, foreign ownership and audit quality by Big-Four. The current study fills an existing gap in compliance of accounting standards and corporate governance literature in the context of the emergent market. It uses a methodology of comprehensive compliance index to evaluate the level of disclosure of Ind-AS that could generalize the results and benefit other listed firms. Finally, as a practical contribution, the present study brings useful insights and empirical evidence which are very beneficial and are of significant importance to investors, practitioners, academicians and policymakers. It is considered as one of the pioneering studies in this context and a battery for further research. The study recommends that more prominence should be given to compliance with Ind-AS and an overseeing body for compliance with Ind-AS should be created.
Thermodynamic behavior of dissolved oxygen and hydrogen in pure vanadium

Published: September 2021

The mechanism governing the deoxidation of vanadium metal is regarded as
fundamental knowledge; however, it has not been elucidated in existing
literature. In this paper, the thermodynamic data of V-H-O systems were
summarized, and the Gibbs free energies of the main compounds were
calculated. Consequently, the deoxidation limits of different reductants in
a V-O system were evaluated, namely: Si, Al, and Mg. It was observed that Si
cannot remove an O content of less than 7.27 wt% from V. However, Al was the
stronger reducing agent; it could remove O contents of up to 0.01 and 0.1
wt% at 800 and 1050 ?C, respectively. Nevertheless, Mg exhibited the best
reducing properties as it could remove less than 0.01 wt% of O at 1100 ?C.
The addition of H2 renders the V-O solid solution unstable to a certain
extent, thereby indicating that H2 facilitates deoxygenation. Furthermore,
the results obtained by analyzing the equilibrium conditions were in
accordance with the results of the deoxidation limit in the V-O system. In
other words, this study demonstrates that the oxygen in vanadium can be
effectively controlled by changing the reductant dosage and temperature.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy as a treatment modality for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: A report of two cases
Authors: Jokanovic Predrag , Rakic Aleksandar
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Measuring the serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin beta isoform (?-hCG) remains a crucial marker for diagnosing gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs). Choriocarcinoma is commonly diagnosed due to extremely high levels of ?-hCG, but the presence of distant metastasis is not uncommon. Placental site trophoblastic tumors and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors remain an enigma because the levels of ?-hCG are usually low. Case report. The first case report describes a 44-year-old woman, P2G3, admitted to the Clinic under the suspicion of molar pregnancy. She had vaginal bleeding with variable intensity, and her ?-hCG was 1,837,787 mIU/mL. After two explorative curettages, the level of ?-hCG declined, and a partial hydatidiform mole (HM) was diagnosed histopathologically. The patient was admitted to the Clinic on two occasions due to the increasing values of ?-hCG. Since ?-hCG failed to drop after two explorative curettages, a hysteroscopic biopsy, and one chemotherapy cycle, along with the suspicious ultrasonographic feature of metastatic GTN, and the fact that the patient has refused further chemotherapy, a total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed. Choriocarcinoma was diagnosed after a histopathological exam was done. The second patient, a 50-year-old woman, P2G4, was admitted to the Clinic under the ultrasonographic suspicion of molar pregnancy. She was complaining of pelvic discomfort and frequent urination. Initial levels of ?-hCG were 128,359 mIU/mL. Instrumental revision of the uterine cavity was performed, and partial HM was diagnosed histo-pathologically. Because of the increasing levels of ?-hCG, ultrasonographical suspicion of the development of GTN in the uterine corpus, in accordance with the patient?s age and the fact that she has regular menstrual cycles, total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed, and a histopathological exam made the diagnosis of the placental site trophoblastic tumor. Conclusion. Laparoscopic hysterectomy could be a treatment of choice for the chemotherapy-resistant GTNs but also for choriocarcinoma in patients who have finished their reproductive activity and refuse to be treated with chemotherapeutics.

Clustering Technique for Scenario Reduction in Post-Energy Transition Voltage Dips Assessment
Authors: R. Torkzadeh  , J.B.M. van Waes  , V. Ćuk  , J. F. G. Cobben
Published: September 2021

The Dutch transmission system operator makes multiple scenarios to predict the future developments. These scenarios will help to define the risk factors and constraints in the grid, for which reinforcement planning is necessary. The developed grid after these reinforcements should continue to fulfil the power quality assessment criteria specified in the Dutch grid code. The reduction in system strength due to partial phase out of the conventional generation may have an adverse impact on the PQ, especially the voltage dips. Precise assessment criteria for voltage dips have been stipulated by the Dutch grid code that also need to be met after the energy transition. Evaluating all possible grid future scenarios can provide insight in possible future operating conditions. In practice, due to various combinations of network configurations, loading scenarios and dispatch scenarios, it is not possible to analyze all operating scenarios in detail. This paper presents a method to determine the most important scenarios for voltage dip assessments using a clustering technique.

The Andean Equatorial Region, due to its geographic location, shows great potential for using solar energy. Solar thermal energy is of interest in the residential sector in Ecuador and other Andean countries as a method to avoid fossil-derived fuels consumption. However, previous learnings of the operation of solar water heatingsystems in other latitudes cannot be used in the conditions of Ecuador. Thus, the performance of the solar thermal energy systems in this geographic region deserves further study that consider typical high levels of cloudiness and fast climate oscillations. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of the orientation of solar thermal plates on their energy efficiency and model the behaviour of these systems to predict their operation under Equatorial Andean climate conditions. For the F-Chart calibration different slopes angles were used, according to the typical roofs slopes in Cuenca, Ecuador. Results showed a monthly solar fraction, contributed by an evacuated tube collector is 26% higher than the flat plate collectors. The results also depict that, in the conditions of Cuenca, the greater solar water heating occurs when the collector is inclined 14° and facing towards the south. These findings can be used to predict the best operational conditions for using solar thermal energy collectors to produce hot water in the residential sector under equatorial highland altitude conditions.

The authors consider stereotypes, expectations and attitude of Russian citizens to the formation and management of pension savings, studied the resources and limitations that determine the responsible attitude to financial security in old age. In the course of the research, a mass questionnaire survey of the population. As the results of the research have shown, Russians are rather pessimistic about the prospects of their aging. Lack of appropriate economic models of behavior, both in personal and parental experience, and low level of trust in power and the pension system form negative expectations and devaluate real efforts in the population's mind to ensure a decent old age.

Published: September 2021

Poverty is a fundamental problem that several districts and cities have, especially in West Java province. One important aspect to support the Poverty Reduction Strategy is the availability of poverty data that is accurate and on target with good visualization so that it can facilitate the data analysis process. A website-based Geographic Information System is the right solution for mapping the distribution of poverty data. Making this website using software development methods and the Rational Unified Process (RUP) with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling language tool. For the maps, making process using Quantum GIS software and database storage using PostgreSQL. This website is expected to make it easier for the public to find the latest information and analyze poverty data, especially in districts and cities in West Java.

COVID-19 gives a drastic change in our lifestyle. In education, it effects on motivation, routine and the dilemma in using certain application. The university has taken various proactive measures for ensuring the productivity of their stakeholders. Students and instructors are changing their teaching and learning style which this impact on learning technology usage while having online class. This paper shares COVID-19 story in terms of learning system development online which is challenging for learners and instructors. They need to adjust themselves so that the message is conveyed, and problem is solved during the online class. This paper looks at how the learners and instructors manage their online class by using an online prototype tool, Justinmind, for assisting them to learn system development during COVID-19. The learners have been asked to plan, gather, and design the user interface according to the requirements stated previously. This study found out that there are some difficulties in conducting system development class in online mode since there is a change of routine as well as teaching and learning style. However, the difficulties have been addressed by the utilization of the technology and thus creating more exciting journey for the class regardless of the pandemic era.

Compound word is defined as combination two or more words and it will produce a new meaning. Generally, compound word is existed in many languages such as English, Mandarin, Arabic and others. Although, there are discussion of existing methods to detect compound word yet some limitations on detecting Malay compound word. Thus, this study is done to improve accuracy towards adjective compound words. Training data is used in this study was Malay story books. Digitization data of Malay story book is used in this study. Then, the pre-processing method involved tokenization, stemming, bi-gram and part-of-speech (POS) tagging has been applied to produce the candidate compound word. Applying the enhanced syntactic rules shown the precision result is 70.3% through this study. Thus, this study will contribute to the academic research in improvise the issues on searching and document summarization application.

Published: September 2021

University students often face different kinds of stress such as problems with studies, family, friends and financial. This predisposes them to anxiety, sadness, anger and depression. To overcome their stress, students use different types of coping strategies. This study aims to investigate the stress level and the coping strategies by the university students and also to identify the relationship between the effects of stress based on their gender. The data in this study are primary data that were collected through direct questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used to analyse the data. The result of this study indicates that a majority of the students have moderate level of stress. Many of the students become sad when they are in stress. In order to reduce the stress, most of the students sleep, followed by listening to music. The chi-square test shows no relationship between the effects of stress among female and male students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate manager’s social influence on the relationship between aggression management and organisational commitment using cross-sectional survey. Accessible population of five manufacturing companies operating in Enugu state was surveyed. One hundred and ninety six participants completed the instrument but only one hundred and eighty two were returned and found valid for analysis. Face validity was used to determine the validity of instrument used. Cronbach α was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. Frequency distribution and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to conduct the analysis. Result of the study revealed that aggression management has positive significant relationship with organisational commitment. On the other hand, manager’s social influence positively and significantly moderates the relationship between aggression management and organisational commitment. The study concludes that aggression management measured in terms of self-control and punishment enhances organisational commitment. The implication of this study is that managers, policy makers and human resource professionals should use their social influence in handling aggressive behaviour in the workplace so as to increase the commitment of their subordinates which will in turn increase profitability, growth and expansion of the organisation.
Ioca seriaque: La faz del poeta y la cruz del racionero en los estribillos de Góngora (1581-1583)
Authors: Martínez García Juan J.
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: Interpretación de los estribillos y ciertas estrofas de las cuatro primeras letrillas de Góngora. Se ofrecen las fuentes que se imitan y / o parodian, principalmente Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Pedro de Padilla, y se muestran las operaciones cognitivas que instauran formalmente (mediante el rasgo de «iconicidad polifónica») las dos vías de la parodia gongorina. Planteo la existencia de un indéxico oculto de «citación / descitación» que explica este icono conceptual «de verdad poética»: se trata de extraer los índices del entrecomillado de palabras de una voz externa y proceder a su desentrecomillado con la voz del poeta mediante un signo de suscripción. Se muestra también el desarrollo de la «higa burlesca», concepto de una auténtica «poética del estribillo» gongorino basado en la actio elocutiva.ABSTRACT: Interpretation of the choruses and some stanzas of the ﬁ rst four letrillas of Góngora. The sources that mimic and / or parody, mainly Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Pedro de Padilla, are offered, and cognitive operations that formally establish (through the feature of «polyphonic iconicity») the two routes of the parodic demystiﬁ cation are shown. I propose the existence of a hidden indexical of «quotation / disquotation» that explains this conceptual icon «of true poetic»: one must extract the indexes of quoted words of an external voice and proceed to their disquotation with the poet’s voice by a sign of subscription. The development of the «burlesque higa», concept of an authentic gongorine «poetic chorus» based on actio elocutiva, is also shown.

Authors: Gheth Basant Mohamed
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: Planteamos en este estudio el tema de la tradición en la poesía de José Antonio Muñoz Rojas (1909-2009) como una prueba más de su arraigo. El garcilasismo de los años cuarenta guarda estrecha relación con la poesía arraigada de aquel tiempo y es una manifestación de la vuelta a la tradición clásica, así que a través de la intertextualidad resaltaremos dos tópicos del tema amoroso, comunes entre Garcilaso de la Vega y nuestro antequerano a través de los libros Sonetos de amor por un autor indiferente (1942) y Abril del alma (1943).ABSTRACT: This paper exposes the issue of tradition in the poetry of José Antonio Muñoz Rojas (1909-2009) as a proof of his «rootedness». The literary trend of Garcilasism is closely related to the classical tradition in the poetry, so through intertextuality we will highlight the recurrence of some topics in Sonetos de amor por un autor indiferente (1942) and Abril del alma (1943) which appear also in the poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega.
