Evaluation of the anticoccidial efficacy of quinfamide alone and in combination with carbopol in rabbits at weaning
Authors: Enríquez Ayari , Alcalá Yazmín , Sumano Héctor , Aquino Itzcoatl
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the anticoccidial activity of quinfamide in rabbits during the weaning period, which is considered a particularly vulnerable time for the clinical presentation of coccidiosis. Thirty-day-old New Zealand rabbits were included in this trial and were divided into the following groups: randomized control, non-randomized control, quinfamide (30 mg/kg) + carbopol; quinfamide (30 mg/kg); quinfamide (60 mg/kg) + carbopol and quinfamide (60 mg/kg). Treatments were administered orally by mixing the drugs with the rabbits’ standard feed. Weight, daily weight gain, feed intake, conversion, and oocyst shedding were recorded for 14 days. The groups treated with quinfamide and quinfamide (60 mg/kg) + carbopol showed a clear improvement in the evaluated parameters compared to the control groups, and there was an increase in the duration during which oocysts in feces could not be detected. The group treated with quinfamide (30 mg/kg) + carbopol also presented better results than the control groups. In contrast, the group treated with quinfamide (30 mg/kg) alone, did not show any differences compared to control groups. Based on these results, it can be considered that quinfamide may present a useful anticoccidial effect, similar to the one obtained with other anticoccidial drugs in rabbits, but only when pharmaceutically prepared with carbopol as quinfamide retentive polymer in the gastrointestinal tract.

Barnehageovertakelse – en svært realistisk praksis
Authors: Lysklett Olav B. , Berger Henrik Wien Berre
Published: February 2025

Barnehagelærerutdanningen er en profesjonsutdanning der det legges stor vekt på praksis. Denne skal bidra til kontinuitet og progresjon i studiet, og til å skape sammenheng mellom teoretisk og praktisk kompetanse. Likevel mener nyutdannede barnehagelærere at gapet mellom utdanningen og barnehagehverdagen er stort. Siden 2005 har Dronning Mauds Minne høgskole gjennomført en ukes barnehageovertakelse i tillegg til ordinær praksis. Denne studien har som mål å finne ut hvordan studentene erfarer en slik barnehageovertakelse. 79 studenter deltok i en spørreundersøkelse etter gjennomført barnehageovertakelse. Studentene vurderer barnehageovertakelse som realistisk og lærerik. De opplever at de ansatte i barnehagen gir dem stor frihet, og at de får et stort ansvar. Samarbeidet studentene har med hverandre og med barnehagene, fremheves også. Barnehageovertakelse kan dermed bidra til å gjøre studentene bedre rustet som profesjonsutøvere i barnehagen. At de får bedre tid til å forberede overtakelsen, og at den kan gjennomføres i god tid før eksamen, blir av studentene fremhevet som mulige forbedringer. Mer tid til refleksjoner over læringsutbytter, og gjerne med en lærer som veileder, kan og gjøre barnehageovertakelsen mer lærerik. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Adoption of Early Childhood Education and Care Institutions – Authentic PracticeA profession is defined by the completion of specialized professional training, and in teacher training for Early Childhood Education and Care nstitutions (ECEC), there is a strong emphasis on practical experience. This practical training aims to foster continuity, coherence, and progression in the student’s journey towards becoming a proficient ECEC practitioner. However, newly qualified ECEC teachers often perceive a considerable gap between their formal education and the realities of daily life in ECEC settings. Since 2005, Queen Maud University College has implemented ECEC adoption, in addition to regular practical training. This study explores student’s experiences after one week of ECEC adoption. 79 students filled out a questionnaire. Students view ECEC adoption as an authentic and educational experience. Consequently, ECEC adoption plays a pivotal role in equipping students with the skills and knowledge required to excel as professionals in the ECEC sector. Students suggest a few potential improvements. These include allocating more time for preparations and ensuring that ECEC adoption does not coincide closely with exams. Additionally, dedicating more time for reflection on learning outcomes, under the guidance of supervision, could enhance the value of ECEC adoption.

Objective. Тo evaluate the possibility of using analgesics, dalargin and correctors of tissue metabolism in multimodal analgesia in victims of road accidents with  combined  chest  and  abdominal trauma.

Tasks: To study the combined effect of multimodal analgesia with the inclusion of dalargin, ketorolac or lornoxicam and a corrector of metabolic disorders on clinical and biochemical parameters, changes in gas composition, acid-base blood state and neuro-humoral condition in victims of road accidents with combined chest and abdominal trauma in the acute period of traumatic illness. 2. To propose standard schemes of multimodal anesthesia that can be applied to groups of victims with combined chest and abdominal trauma of varying severity during evacuation from the scene of a traffic accident by emergency medical personnel.

Materials and methods. A study was conducted in 107 patients with diagnoses of road trauma, combined chest and abdominal trauma. In order to objectify the severity of the patients› condition, the Glasgow com, RAS scales and the method developed by us for assessing the severity of victims with combined trauma were used.

The results of the study. Traumatic shock in victims of road accidents with combined chest and abdominal trauma leads to impaired consciousness, microcirculation, hypoxia, hypotension, while adaptation of the main body functions developed in an irrational way — due to tachycardia. This, in our opinion, is dangerous, as evidenced by the signs of ischemia on the ECG. The combined use of analgesics, dalargin and a tissue metabolism.

Conclusion. The use of multimodal anesthesia in the prehospital period of emergency medical care made it possible to significantly reduce the patient›s hospital stay by 4.8 bed days and reduce the overall mortality rate in severely injured patients from 72.7% in the comparison group to 51.7% in the main group.

Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência e as características do abuso sexual contra crianças e adolescentes em Macapá, uma capital da Amazônia. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo retrospectivo do período de 2013 a 2022, com dados coletados via registro do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES) da Unidade de Doenças Não Transmissíveis da Superintendência de Vigilância em Saúde (SVS) do estado. Restringiu-se à faixa etária de crianças e adolescentes, com variáveis selecionadas baseadas na relevância para o objetivo. Resultados: Foram notificados 777 casos, com predominância de vítimas pardas (69,2%) e do sexo feminino (90,2%), sendo a faixa etária de 10-14 anos a mais acometida (42,98%). Quanto ao perfil dos agressores, a maioria destes (74,44%) eram conhecidos das vítimas. Foi notada a ausência de dados claros sobre a interrupção legal da gestação e a possível subnotificação de casos recorrentes. Conclusão: Conclui-se que há influência de fatores raciais, socioeconômicos e relacionais sobre o perfil das vítimas desta violência. As limitações encontradas indicam a necessidade de aperfeiçoar a coleta de dados e a formação de profissionais a fim de garantir estratégias mais efetivas para combater o abuso sexual.
Text2Struc: Programmatic Crystal Structure Generation with Fine-Tuned Large Language Models
Authors: Baibakova Viktoriia
Published: February 2025

Accelerating computational materials science relies not only on hardware advances but also on software that increases the ease of working with the relevant abstractions. Creation and manipulation of crystal structures is a part of many routine materials science workflows. In this work, we demonstrate how fine tuning large language models can be used to generate crystal structures from textual descriptions. By fine-tuning a CodeGen model with low-rank adaptation, we developed an interface that reduces errors and enables more flexible and powerful input, particularly for larger or more complex structures. Our model, which we call Text2Struc, is used to compare structure generation from the Materials Project database against LLM-generated and API-executed outputs. We show that API calls have higher accuracy, especially for supercells or defected crystals, as evidenced by an increase in the number of matches with original structures. Furthermore, removing Crystallographic Information File (CIF) outputs during training enhances generation fidelity, as the model trained without CIFs has a higher success rate than the model that prints CIFs in addition to the generating code. We hypothesize this may be owed to the base model being oriented towards generating code. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of fine-tuning and API integration for automating crystal structure generation in materials science.

Procedures for activating and degrading compounds containing carbon-halogen bonds are highly sought after due to the environmental persistence and potential hazards of such compounds. Such activations are challenging because of the high stability of these bonds, particularly those with C-F bonds. Here, we report on the activation of carbon-halogen bonds, including C-F bonds, by the cerium(III)-triamidoamine complex CeIIITRENTIPS (1, TRENTIPS = tris-(2-(tri-iso-propylsilylamidoethyl)amine). Under light irradiation, 1 reaches a strongly negative excited state redox potential, and our measurements enable it to be estimated as 3.2 V relative to Cp2Fe0/+. Hence, the photo-reactivity of 1 with carbon-halogen bonds has been established with numerous examples, including Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and fluorinated compounds. The photoactivation of POPs is rapid, but the photoactive nature of the cerium(IV) products precludes complete conversion. This study provides insight into the activation of POPs that may benefit the future design of photodegradation approaches for these highly problematic compounds.
The Quasi-bound State as a Predictor of Relative Binding Free Energy
Authors: Serrano-Morrás Álvaro , Westermaier Yvonne , Majewski Maciej , Barril Xavier
Published: February 2025

Relative binding free energy (ΔΔGbind) predictions have become the main approach to evaluate the potency of a congeneric series of compounds. They are enabled by alchemical transformations coupled to free energy methods, tools that have become essential in drug design. Yet, they are computationally expensive and are limited to small and relatively simple transformations. The ever-increasing size of virtual screening databases demands faster methods to assess virtual hits. Here, we show that the structural robustness of protein-ligand complexes, measured as the quasi-bound free energy (ΔGQB) by Dynamic Undocking (DUck), is well suited to detect outliers in the structure-activity continuum (i.e., activity cliffs), which are particularly challenging for knowledge-based approaches. On congeneric series of HSP90α, CDK2 and BACE-1 inhibitors, we demonstrate that ΔGQB can deliver excellent predictions, despite the local nature of the measurement, in some cases, comparable to the much more computationally demanding alchemical transformation methods. We find that for systems following a one-step dissociation model, ΔGQB actually informs about the free energy of the transition state, which allows us to predict relative binding kinetics and, when the series present relatively constant on-rates, also ΔΔGbind.This work has important implicatinos for drug discovery, as it shows that within a well-defined applicability domain, high-throughput computational dissociation studies can deliver ΔΔGbind predictions that compare well with rigorous alchemical transformation methods.
Polymer conformation changes observed with the naked eye in a liquid crystal elastomer and their use to produce adjustable and multidirectional deformations
Authors: Deng Yakui , Liu Gaoyu , Brûlet Annie , Keller Patrick , Li Min-Hui
Published: February 2025

The monodomain nematic liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) is a nonporous material with one-dimension (1D) negative thermal expansion (NTE) along the direction of orientation. This stimuli-responsive size change is comparable with the contractile response of a muscle fibre. Recently, LCEs have become more and more popular and increasingly investigated as a full-fledged class of stimuli-responsive materials. However, the nematic LCE is limited to a single, unidirectional deformation unless complex hybrid architectures are made. We develop here a special LCE based on a liquid crystal polymer with an extraordinary phase transition sequence, “re-entrant nematic (NRe) – smectic A (SmA) – nematic (N) – isotropic (I) phase”, along with “prolate – oblate – weakly oblate – spherical” chain conformation evolution. In the aligned LCE film, these conformational changes of polymer chain are observed with the naked eye through their macroscopic translations into a unique sequence of “contraction – expansion – second expansion” deformations. Notably, a switch from NTE to positive thermal expansion (PTE) occurs upon heating. Moreover, a bilayer actuator composed of aligned and non-aligned LCE layers can perform 2D to 3D shape transformation with “curling – uncurling – second uncurling” actuation sequence. This LCE capable of multiple deformations in response to a single stimulus paves the way to multimodal single-material actuators. It provides a new strategy for the development of advanced materials with adjustable and multidirectional deformations.
A multiplicative ingredient for omega-inconsistency
Authors: Fjellstad Andreas
Published: February 2025

This paper presents a distinctively multiplicative quantificational principle that arguably captures the problematic aspects of Zardini's infinitary rules for a multiplicative quantifier within the context of the semantic paradoxes and the theoretical goal to obtain a (omega)-consistent theory of transparent truth. After showing that the principle is derivable with Zardini's rules and that one obtains through vacuous quantification an inconsistent theory of truth if truth is transparent, the paper presents two results regarding the principle and omega-inconsistency. First, the principle is used to obtain a non-classical variant of McGee's omega-inconsistency result for certain classical theories of truth. Second, it is demonstrated that the conditions for a truth-theoretic variant of Bacon's omega-inconsistency result for certain non-classical theories of transparent truth implies that the principle holds for the paradoxical formula. Finally, the paper argues that the paradoxical reasoning that the principle enables is structurally similar to the kind of infinitary reasoning popularised by Hilbert's Grand Hotel.
A Person-Oriented Approach to Social Anxiety and Depression: Latent Profiles and Emotional Functioning in Adults
Authors: Zhou Jianan , van Zalk Nejra
Published: February 2025

Background: Symptoms of social anxiety and depression often co-occur, but many questions remain about symptom-level co-occurrence and the heterogeneity of symptom presentations across individuals, as well as their emotional functioning. Method: This study used a person-oriented approach, Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), to identify distinct profiles (i.e., subgroups) in a UK adult sample (N = 222) varying in presentations of social anxiety and depressive symptoms. Further analyses examined between-profile differences in emotional functioning, including daily affect and emotion regulation. Results: Four profiles were identified: Comorbid, Dysphoric, Socially Anxious, and Low Distress, replicating the four-profile solution revealed in prior research on adolescents. The Comorbid subgroup reported the most pronounced emotional dysfunction, with higher daily negative affect, lower positive affect, and greater emotion dysregulation than the other three subgroups. The Low Distress subgroup reported the best emotional functioning. Limitations: The cross-sectional study design limits our ability to assess the stability of the identified profiles over time. Conclusion: Despite its limitations, this study sheds light on the varied ways social anxiety and depression co-occur, reinforcing the need for transdiagnostic interventions that address diverse symptom patterns and emotional functioning.
Funny $#!%: Predicting Profanity Use in Creative Humor Production
Authors: Silvia Paul Joseph , Burnett Meriel I.
Published: February 2025

How do people come up with funny ideas? Profanity—the language’s rich panoply of obscenity, vulgarity, and indecency—is a ubiquitous comedic device deployed in creative humor. The present research explored variation in profanity use when generating jokes. A sample of adults (n = 618) completed a creative humor production task, and text-mining methods detected and coded the appearance and severity of profanity. Random forest models were used to identify potentially important predictors, such as variables relevant to profanity generally (e.g., age, gender, and personality traits) and variables specific to humor creation (e.g., humor self-concepts and self-ratings of their jokes’ funniness). Profanity in the jokes was reasonably common, used by 22% of the sample, diverse in type, and generally mild in severity. The random forest models identified a set of uniquely important predictors. Profanity use and severity were marked by being younger, identifying as male, rating one’s own jokes as funny, and expressing more confidence in one’s ability to be funny and make others laugh—a true profile in boorishness. The discussion explores roles for personality in indecorous humor and the broader question of strategic aspects of humor creation.
Preliminary Evaluation of a Targeted, School-Based Social and Emotional Learning Intervention for At Risk Youth: Football Beyond Borders
Authors: Cheng Qiqi , Humphrey Neil
Published: February 2025

Objective: To provide preliminary independent evidence of the efficacy of Football Beyond Borders (FBB), a targeted, school-based social and emotional learning (SEL) intervention for at-risk youth. FBB includes weekly SEL classroom sessions, activities on the football pitch, 1:1 therapy sessions, holiday support, and rewards trips. Method: Propensity score matching and difference-in-differences estimation were used in a pre-test/post-test control group design to assess the impact of FBB on the mental wellbeing (assessed via the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, SWEMWBS) of participants designated at-risk (N=46 aged 12-14, 81.6% boys), passive learners (N=72, aged 12-14, 84.7% boys), and role models (N=35, aged 12-14, 85.7% boys), with matched control samples derived from a subset of the #BeeWell cohort study (N=8,015). Results: A significant intervention effect was observed for at-risk youth, with FBB leading to an increase of approximately 2.4 SWEMWBS points (d = 0.44). No intervention effects were observed for passive learners or role models. Conclusions: Preliminary evidence indicates that FBB can improve mental wellbeing of at-risk youth. Accordingly, an explanatory trial is warranted.

Published: February 2025

The brain and the heart communicate bidirectionally, primarily through the autonomic nervous system. Among the tools for investigating this interaction, electroencephalographic (EEG) microstates—quasi-stable scalp topographies reflecting global brain integration—can offer novel insights into brain-heart dynamics, which is scarce in the literature. This study investigated the relationship between microstates and cardiac activity by simultaneously recording EEG and electrocardiograms from 103 healthy participants during resting state. Our analysis revealed temporal associations between specific microstates and cardiac events: microstates A, D, and E showed distinct probability of occurrence throughout the cardiac cycle, with microstate A exhibiting increased probability during R and T waves of the electrocardiogram. Furthermore, the occurrence probabilities of microstates A and E varied with the phase of low-frequency heart rate variability (LF-HRV). These findings provide evidence for the coupling between peripheral cardiac processes and central brain activity, suggesting that EEG microstate patterns reflect cardiac-related activity.
Seeing Danger Instead of Opportunity: Does Powerlessness Enhance Stimulus-Driven Attention Allocation Towards Threat-Related Stimuli?
Authors: Willardt Robin Richard
Published: February 2025

An elevated feeling of power has repeatedly been shown to lead to superior goal pursuit and attainment due to increased goal-directed attention allocation. In the wake of this research, powerlessness has often been assumed to impair goal-directed attention allocation or even to lead to less selective attention allocation overall. The present research proposes that this picture of the way powerlessness influences attention allocation is incomplete. It is hypothesized that instead of an overall reduction of selective attention allocation, powerlessness causes an increase in stimulus-driven allocation towards threat. Furthermore, powerlessness should lead to improved goal pursuit and attainment in a situation that requires stimulus-driven attention allocation. Three studies using behavioral and neural indicators of stimulus-driven attention allocation towards threat yielded only partial support for these hypotheses.Study 1, using a Dot Probe Paradigm, confirmed our expectation that participants in a powerlessness condition possessed increased stimulus-driven attention allocation towards threat compared to participants in a high power condition. Study 2 used a similar dot probe task as Study 1 but additionally assessed participants’ N2pc amplitude as a neural marker of stimulus-driven attention allocation. A powerlessness condition was compared to a neutral control condition, but the finding of Study 1 could not be replicated. Study 3 tested the hypothesized improved performance of powerless individuals in a task requiring stimulus-driven attention allocation towards threat. Using a visual search paradigm, no effect of the powerlessness condition (as compared to a high power condition) was found. Implications and possible reasons for the inconclusive findings are discussed.
Theoretical investigation on phosphine-catalyzed sequential annulation of 2-arylmethylidene cyanoacetate with Morita−Baylis−Hillman (MBH) carbonate to cyclopentane and diquinane
Authors: Lu Nan
Published: February 2025

The first theoretical investigation was provided by our DFT calculation on phosphine-catalyzed sequential an-nulation of 2-arylmethylidene cyanoacetate and MBH carbonate. MBH carbonate was initially attacked by PMe3 to generate cation intermediate and carbon dioxide. Then proton abstraction of t-butoxyl anion gives t-butanol and resonance-stabilized zwitterionic intermediate, from which the conjugate addition and subse-quent Michael addition happens with two molecules of 2-arylmethylidene cyanoacetate. Next, the deproto-nation−reprotonation proceeds before SN2’ substitution giving desired product cyclopentane. If another molecule of cation intermediate participates in Michael addition followed by isomerization, intramolecular ad-dition, deprotonation−reprotonation and intramolecular SN2 substitution, another product diquinane with two fused five-membered ring is yielded. The deprotonation−reprotonation is rate-limiting for both products. This divergent transformation enables one-pot construction of five or four consecutive stereogenic centers, three or four new C−C bonds and one or two carbocyclic rings via [1 + 2 + 2] or [1 + 2 + 2]/[3 + 2] annulation.

Published: February 2025

Wounds are physical injuries that results in a breach or observance of the skin. Proper heal of wounds is very essential for the restoration of disrupted anatomical stability and disturbed functional status of the skin. Wound healing is a multifaceted but generally orderly process. Chronological impressions of dedicated cell types first clear the provocative injury and then progressively build the scaffolding to fill in any resulting defect. Cream is defined as semisolid emulsions which may be oil in-water (o/w) or water- in- oil (w/o) type and these semisolid emulsions are meant for external applications. Presently whole world including the developed country recognized the importance of traditional medicine and encouraging the research on herbal or ethnomedicine as they safe and less toxic. In this study we have formulated an herbal cream (o/w) type satisfying almost all the pharmaceutical parameters which showed better tissue restoration and healing capacity. The wound healing activity of herbal cream was experimentally evaluated by excision wound model. The experimental data of wound size area and histopathologcal study expressed that, healing in the cream treated group of animal was significant as compared to control group of animal.
Case of Lambl’s Excrescences And Microthrombosis Intracardially In Young Female With INOCA
Authors: V. Tyravska Yuliya
Published: February 2025

Ischemia and No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (INOCA) causes angina pectoris in 30-50% of young females leading to higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke), increased frequency of hospitalization, decreased quality of life and functional status. Missed diagnosis and mismanagement is rather typical of patients with INOCA. It can be provoked by mental stress, vasoconstriction, infections (including viral), vaccination, Lambl’s excrescences, which may lead to local blood rheology disorders and intracardial microthrombi formation. This paper reported the case of INOCA in a 28-year-old female patient with floating microthrombi in the left atrium, Lambl’s excrescences in the aorta, and reviews the relevant literature regarding above-mentioned disorders.

Understanding some weather phenomena behavior, especially temperature, is very important to many human activities. For this reason the aim of this work is to model monthly temperature in Valle del Cauca between 1971 and 2002 using Weighted Smoothing Splines. Two stratums (valley and mountain), in terms of temperature were considered during the process, since Valle del Cauca is a region located in different thermal floors, that affect its behavior. A voronoi diagram was used to determine the area of influence of each weather station located in the department and assign its modeling weight.

Published: February 2025

Telecommunications systems users demand more services from operators every day; it is expected that the Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) Systems will satisfy those needs. It is necessary to provide mechanisms for implementing these systems and to facilitate their maximum use in order to get those objectives. Detection is a critical step considering that the complexity of the system can increase dramatically while a detection algorithm performance is improved, which is a Non-deterministic Polynomial time (NP) problem. Different studies have been implemented in order to reduce the number of mathematical operations associated with the algorithm and improve its performance. In recent years, metaheuristics have been used to solve NP problems; this paper presents the analysis of a signal detector for a MIMO system using the Ant Colony Algorithm.

When carrying out the teaching process it is very important to consider the use of resources, especially those related to didactic means in order to make it easier both the teaching and learning process. This article introduces the goals and strengths trough the implementation of user´s graphical interfaces as didactic resources that help the understanding of different concepts in Mathematics and physics. Matlab’s Tool GUIDE is used (Barragán, 2006), for the applications design whose aims are, among others, contrasting concepts about Mathematics, Calculus, and Physics. These mediators apart of helping the comprehension of fundamental concepts on these disciplines compare the results as a key aspect when looking for application concepts of the mentioned area. It is exposed the way how these didactic resources are really meaningful as a supporting strategy in order to improve the comprehension processes on concepts about Calculus and Physics, since they allow the activation of cognitive schemas from previous knowledge and the verification of results in a practical way. It is also possible to observe how these tools improve students’ motivation, because they become didactic resources which develop thought structures that stimulate meaningful learning (Molina, 2009).

Las formas errantes: elementos compositivos móviles en dos novelas de Juan Pablo Villalobos.
Authors:   Universidad de Sonora, Campaña Fimbres Jesús Adalberto
Published: February 2025

No voy a pedirle a nadie que me crea (2016) y La invasión del pueblo del espíritu (2020) son dos de las novelas más recientes del escritor jaliciense Juan Pablo Villalobos. Una de las características que une a dos obras que en apariencia se presentan diversas es la vena errante que envuelve la propuesta ético-estética de las novelas. Este artículo pretende analizar cómo, a partir de los elementos formales que componen ambas obras, se propone una lectura errante, en oposición al orden establecido y en contra del encasillamiento estético. La errancia, entendida como un fenómeno sociológico, aterriza en las obras a la literatura, que adopta sus elementos desde diferentes planos, trascendiendo sus límites. La hibridación genérica y su parodia en No voy a pedirle… y el tratamiento del presente en La invasión… se presentan como algunas de las formas en que se resignifican las nociones de la errancia.
El sexo verborreico y la difuminación del género como resistencia al poder en una novela y dos textos dramáticos de Samuel Beckett.
Authors:   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Pinasco Emanuel
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo se aproxima a tres escritos de Samuel Beckett desde la articulación de distintos posicionamientos teóricos contemporáneos que vinculan al eje de la palabra y la voz con el eje del sexo. Muchas investigaciones previas ya han rastreado problemáticas como la homosexualidad o el incesto en textos de este escritor, pero siempre planteándolas como cuestiones periféricas y puntuales. Sin embargo, existe la posibilidad de dar un paso más allá, y para hacerlo hay que modificar el marco teórico. Un marco más adecuado es la idea del género como acto performativo, entendido como puente entre el sexo y la subjetividad. El objetivo de este trabajo es dilucidar -mediante las herramientas previamente enunciadas-la forma en que el sexo ocupa el centro aporético de la escritura beckettiana.
La reflexión filosófica en la poesía de Jaime Siles.
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, Rodríguez Jiménez Antonio
Published: February 2025

En la poesía de Jaime Siles aparece la influencia de Hölderlin, de Fichte, de Schelling o de Hegel. Estamos ante una poesía con muchos elementos filosóficos, que plantea la integración de razón y sensación como doble materia prima del poema, y el problema de la identidad del autor en cuanto al contenido de su conciencia, en parte invención y en parte evocación. El objetivo de este estudio es demostrar que el poeta trata de resolver la dicotomía entrepoesía y filosofía, que se convirtió en algo lejano e intangible cuando Platón la aparta de su pensamiento. La metodología utilizada para esta investigación se basa en estudios, observaciones y análisis sobre la obra del poeta valenciano y de sus estudiosos que no son pocos. Se trata de un acercamiento cuantitativo con reflexiones en grandes pensadores como Heidegger y María Zambrano, que estudiaron a fondo el problema, los alejamientos y acercamientos de la poesía y la filosofía. En conclusión, la poesía de Jaime Siles presenta múltiples reflexiones de una poesía que recapacita sobre temas filosóficos, lo que la hacen original y única casi desde Miguel de Unamuno, ya que la conexión entre poesía y filosofía, a pesar de ser permanente, siempre ha tenido susdesavenencias.

Published: February 2025

У статті представлено аналіз надання міжнародної військової допомоги України країнами-партерами під час російсько-української війни.
Під час широкомасштабної збройної агресії Російської Федерації на території суверенної та незалежної України актуальними проблемами є забезпечення озброєнням та військовою технікою, ракетами і боєприпасами, продовольством, речовим майном, паливо-мастильними матеріалами, інженерним майном, іншими необхідними матеріальними засобами. Також, особлива увага приділяється однієї з основних функцій логістики – перевезенню міжнародної військової допомоги Україні, яку потрібно робити приховано і застосовувати маскувальні засоби.
Багато країн світу об’єдналися заради допомоги Україні необхідними військовими, гуманітарними і фінансовими ресурсами. У багатьох країнах світу здійснюється підготовка військовослужбовців Збройних Сил України щодо вивчення процесів оперативного та тактичного планування за стандартами НАТО, підготовка підрозділів у  різнорідних ситуаціях бойових дій, а також використання озброєння та військовій техніки і її технічного обслуговування та ремонту.
Міжнародна коаліція надає Україні військову, політичну, фінансову, гуманітарну, правозахисну та реформаторську підтримки, а також веде санкційну політику щодо країни-агресора, яка розв’язала війну проти України. Надання міжнародної військової допомоги Україні є ключовим моментом забезпечення і підготовки Збройних Сил України для відбиття нападу РФ.
Проведений аналіз дає зрозуміти важливість забезпечення військ (сил) необхідними матеріальними засобами від яких безпосередньо залежить успішне виконання операцій (бойових дій).

A busca pelo ensino superior vem aumentando e os estudantes procuram por instituições de ensino de qualidade, muitas vezes localizadas em cidades diferentes de onde residem. Algumas cidades oferecem moradias estudantis, que têm como objetivo facilitar o deslocamento e a rotina dos estudantes, podendo ou não estar vinculadas às instituições de ensino. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender como a moradia estudantil, e a qualidade de seu espaço, influenciam o desempenho dos estudantes universitários. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica e foram analisadas moradias estudantis, observando aspectos arquitetônicos para a elaboração posterior de diretrizes projetuais para a construção de uma moradia estudantil em Caçador. Através da análise dos projetos, pode-se concluir que a arquitetura tem uma influência positiva nos residentes por meio das formas, cores e disposição espacial. Conclui-se também que a presença de moradias mais acessíveis aos estudantes aumenta a sua qualidade de vida e desempenho acadêmico, corroborando para o aumento dos índices de permanência nas instituições de ensino superior.
Abstract
 Undergraduate education is an important and decisive step towards inclusion in the job market. The demand for higher education is increasing, and students tend to choose high-quality educational institutions, often located in cities different from where they reside. Some cities offer student housing, with or without a connection to educational institutions, which aims to facilitate their commuting and routine, this study aimed to understand how student housing, and the quality of its space, affects the performance of undergraduate students. To achieve this goal, a literature review was conducted and student housing was analyzed, observing architectural aspects for the subsequent development of design guidelines for student housing in Caçador. Through the analysis of the projects, it can be concluded that architecture positively influences residents through forms, colors, and spatial disposition. It is also concluded that the presence of more accessible housing for students increases their quality of life and academic performance, contributing to an increase in retention rates in higher educational institutions.
