Authors: Rizzo Christie J. , Collibee Charlene , Barker David , Houck Christopher , Kemp Kathleen , Tolou-Shams Marina , Zlotnick Caron , Brown Larry K.
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this hybrid I clinical trial of Date SMART (Date Skills to Manage Aggression in Relationships for Teens) was to reduce adolescent dating violence (ADV) among juvenile-justice involved females over 1 year. Secondary objectives were to determine if the intervention reduced sexual risk behavior and delinquency. Last, we evaluate system buy-in vis à vis mandated referrals to the program.

METHODS

Participants were females, ages 14 to 18 (N = 240), involved in a family court in the Northeast United States. The Date SMART group intervention consisted of cognitive-behavioral skill building, and the knowledge-only comparison group consisted of psychoeducation regarding sexual health, ADV, mental health and substance use.

RESULTS

Court mandates to intervention were common (41%). Among those with ADV exposure, Date SMART participants reported fewer acts of physical and/or sexual ADV (rate ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33–0.99) and cyber ADV (rate ratio, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58–0.96) at follow-up, relative to control. There were significant reductions in the number of vaginal and/or anal sex acts reported by Date SMART participants relative to control (rate ratio, 0.81; 95% CI 0.74–0.89). In the overall sample, within group reductions in some ADV behaviors and delinquency were observed in both conditions.

CONCLUSIONS

Date SMART was seamlessly integrated into the family court setting and received stakeholder buy-in. Although not superior to control as a primary prevention tool, Date SMART was effective in reducing physical and/or sexual ADV, and cyber ADV, as well as vaginal and/or anal sex acts, among females with ADV exposure over 1 year.

Toda la información anterior complementaría sugiere la participación de artesanos con varias procedencias sociales.
„Chłop przypomina wielkiego poetę”. O debiucie prozatorskim pisarza tematu chłopskiego – Romana Turka
Authors:   Instytut Polonistyki i Dziennikarstwa Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, Jamrozek-Sowa Anna
Published: March 2023

The aim of the article is to describe the circumstances and significance of the book debut of Roman Turek, a writer of peasant origins, whom Wiesław Myśliwski included among his literary predecessors. The autobiographical novel "Moja mama, ja i reszta" was published in its entirety in 1961 by Ludowa Spółdzielnia Wydawnicza, while fragments had previously been printed in national periodicals devoted to rural themes: "Orki", "Zarzewie" and "Zielony sztandar". Subsequent editions appeared in 1963, 1970, 1973 and 1989. It was the first part of the Galician tetralogy, the subject of which became the complicated fates and everyday life in the imaginary world of the inhabitants of the villages located near Łańcut. It was well received by the critics, some of whom highlighted the novel’s original, and even groundbreaking nature. The success surprised the author himself, a self-taught man born in a poor village near Łańcut, a veteran of World Wars I and II and the war of 1920, and a stoker in the world-famous liqueur factory of Count Potocki in Łańcut. Turek began writing after his retirement and published 9 works in prose – novels and short story collections. He was most popular in the 1960s and 1970s, being one of the most widely read authors of memoir literature in Poland. After his death in 1982, he was almost forgotten. The renaissance of interest in his work is associated with the debate on the issue of the peasant heritage of Poles, observed at the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century.

The last three decades have seen significant changes in grocery retailing. These have been the result of a number of factors, most notably the influx of investment into Poland by foreign food chains, and the spread of self-service sales. The emergence of large and medium format chain shops changed both the forms of trade, consumer habits, as well as the appearance and development of suburbs. The article in part one shows the process of change in grocery retailing after 1989. The second part shows the beginnings and development of the Dino chain. Supermarkets of this chain were mainly established in small towns and smaller centres, offering a limited range of products for a specific customer group. Built over two decades, the Dino chain is one of the largest employers, with more than 2,000 outlets. In 2020, it entered the top ten of the country's largest grocery chains due to its market share and sales revenues.

The article focuses on various transmedia projects developed by culinary travelebrities. The aim of the research is to show that the form of transmedia storytelling, based on the flow of content between different platforms (book travelogues, videos, TV programs), is treated by traveling chefs as a tool for building a recognizable and coherent personal brand. The study covers the media activity of three culinary travelebrities: Jamie Oliver, Anthony Bourdain and Robert Makłowicz, whose projects combine journalistic, culinary and travel content with autobiographical discourse. Due to the adoption of such a communication strategy, they effectively influence the attention of the contemporary media audience, but also they build a recognizable and coherent media identity. The research outlined in the article demonstrates that culinary travelebrity focuses primarily on discovering the exotic side of the world. Celebrity chefs are presented in the original scenery where they prepare a kind of media performance simulating authenticity.
Effect of region of cultivation, tree age, and harvest time on the quality of Lebanese virgin olive oil
Authors: El Chami Antonio , Conte Paola , Hassoun Georges , Piga Antonio
Published: March 2023

In Lebanon, olive oil plays an essential role at both economic and social levels. However, factors influencing its quality are rarely addressed. This preliminary study is the first analysis to show a comparison between ancient and adult virgin olive oil trees in Lebanon. Analysis of pedo-climatic conditions and physicochemical parameters of virgin oil samples taken from ancient and adult trees from three Lebanese regions (Bechmizine, Kfaraaka, and Kawkaba) and at two different harvest periods showed that these parameters differed significantly among cultivation regions, while the tree age and harvest time had a lower effect. We observed that the oil obtained from adult trees of Kawkaba region during the first harvest period (green to reddish stage of fruit maturity) had the best quality, compared to all other samples. Oil produced from these trees showed the highest polyphenol content, a relatively higher composition of tocopherols, oleic acid, monounsaturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acids C18: 1–C18: 2, with relatively low acidity and peroxide values. It was concluded that the quality of virgin olive oil was associated with its chemical composition, and was the result of a complex interaction between several environmental factors associated with the area of cultivation, tree age, and harvest time.

Authors: UZAN Serhat
Published: March 2023

Acacia gum (AG) was grafted with polyacrylamides with different catonic ratios obtained by using different amounts of acrylamide (AM) and methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC (cationic monomer)). The thermal properties of these grafted products were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses. The formation of grafted products was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The effects of different cationic ratios of polyacrylamide on flocculation were evaluated. Flocculation performance was evaluated in kaolin suspension.
Influence of National Senior Certificate Examinations on classroom practice: Experienced teachers’ pedagogical choices in teaching chemical equilibrium
Authors: Kolobe Lebala , Hobden Paul
Published: March 2023

Learners who pass the South African National Senior Certificate (NSC) physical sciences examination generally show a weak conceptual understanding of chemistry at university. This inconsistency was investigated by examining strategies used in the teaching of chemical equilibrium in schools. A combination of on-site observations, journaling and teacher interviews was used in a survey of 4 teachers in 3 well-resourced schools whose learners regularly achieve good results in the subject. In this article we argue that, whereas the study reported on here revealed a high degree of consistency in basic concept teaching approaches calculated to help learners pass the NSC examination, focus on the examination comes at the expense of in-depth exploration of concepts. We found that Grade 12 chemistry teachers value learners’ success in the NSC examination more than their understanding of concepts and ability to use those concepts beyond the examination. Reasons for, as well as consequences of this strategic choice were identified and are discussed.
Rola panturkizmu w relacjach rosyjsko-tureckich
Authors:   Uniwersytet Gdański, Potulski Jakub
Published: March 2023

The term Pan-Turkism refers to an intellectual and political movement advocating the union of all Turkic people. Pan-Turkism emerged among Tatars intellectuals in Tsarist Russia. In Tsarist Russia Pan-Turkism was in a part response to the development Pan-Slavism. At the beginning of twenty-first century Pan-Turkism became popular among the members of Committee of Union and Progress in the Ottoman Empire. After the Young Turks Revolution Pan-Turkism become a main political idea in the Ottoman state. The rise of a PAN-TURKISM as political movement is a phenomenon of the 19th and the 20th century. In this article author argues that the Pan-Turkism ideology still can be used by contemporary Turkey authority against Russia. Calling for a political unity and solidarity among Turkic groups can be a serious threat for Russian authority. The collapse of Soviet Union and the emergence of new Turkish states gave fresh hope many Pan-Turkists in Turkey, Caucasus and Central Asia. The annexation of Crimea, war in Syria and shooting down Russian aircraft by the Turkish army made hostile the Turkish-Russian relations.
Turecki ruch młodzieżowy w Turcji latach 1968–1971
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Burak Ahmet
Published: March 2023

Turkey has the honor of being the first modern, secular state in a predominantly Muslim Middle East. From 1968–1971, the Turkish armed forces played a critical role in the political formation of modern Turkey, contributing to a watershed moment in Turkish history as the country’s youth began to split between the ideological left and the right. The country was in a state of chaos as of January 1971. Turkish universities closed their doors and students formed groups of urban guerrillas, robbing banks and targeting Americans for kidnappings. “Young Turks” as they were known, grew dramatically in strength, registering the most strikes between January 1 and March 12, 1971. Consequently, a Turkish military intervention came as no surprise to most people in the country at that time. This article analyzes the Republic of Turkey’s leftist youth movement from 1968 to 1971.

A Educação Sexual nas diferentes versões da Base Nacional Comum Curricular: Da abertura ao silenciamento em torno da temática
Authors: Vicente Luciane da Silva
Published: March 2023

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as perspectivas de educação sexual prescritas em diferentes versões da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e apresentar a percepção de professores sobre contexto de narrativas e disputas que intermediaram sua construção. A educação sexual foi tema amplamente debatido e contemplado nas versões preliminares da BNCC.  No entanto, a atuação incisiva das bancadas políticas conservadoras, culminou na retirada dos conceitos de gênero e de orientação sexual, deixando de evidenciar dimensões importantes no documento final. Compreende-se que a omissão dessas questões nos referenciais curriculares favorece a persistência da intolerância contra a diversidade sexual e enfraquece o combate ao preconceito e discriminações arraigados em nossa sociedade. No que se refere metodologia, adotou-se a abordagem qualitativa, que inclui como procedimento: pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental e de um conjunto de entrevistas com professores que atuam no ensino fundamental para coleta de dados. Para análise dos dados buscamos a articulação entre as técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa e a Análise do Discurso, orientada pelo ciclo de políticas formulado por Stephen Ball e Richard Bowe.

Authors: Raviteja K. V. N. S. , Kavya K. V. B. S. , Senapati R. , Reddy K. R.
Published: March 2023

Geomembrane (GM) liners anchored in the trenches of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills undergo pull-out failure when the applied tensile stresses exceed the ultimate strength of the liner. The present study estimates the tensile strength of GM liner against pull-out failure from anchorage with the help of machine-learning (ML) techniques. Five ML models, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), support vector regression (SVR), random forest (RF) and locally weighted regression (LWR) were employed in this work. The effect of anchorage geometry, soil density and interface friction were studied with regards to the tensile strength of the GM. In this study, 1520 samples of soil–GM interface friction were used. The ML models were trained and tested with 90% and 10% of data, respectively. The performance of ML models was statistically examined using the coefficients of determination (R2, R2adj) and mean square errors (MSE, RMSE). In addition, an external validation model and K-fold cross-validation techniques were used to check the models’ performance and accuracy. Among the chosen ML models, MLP was found to be superior in accurately predicting the tensile strength of GM liner. The developed methodology is useful for tensile strength estimation and can be beneficially employed in landfill design.

Significance Statement

We describe circulating proteins associated with albuminuria in a population of African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension with CKD (AASK) using the largest proteomic platform to date: nearly 7000 circulating proteins, representing approximately 2000 new targets. Findings were replicated in a subset of a general population cohort with kidney disease (ARIC) and a population with CKD Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC). In cross-sectional analysis, 104 proteins were significantly associated with albuminuria in the Black group, of which 67 of 77 available proteins were replicated in ARIC and 68 of 71 available proteins in CRIC. LMAN2, TNFSFR1B, and members of the ephrin superfamily had the strongest associations. Pathway analysis also demonstrated enrichment of ephrin family proteins.

Background

Proteomic techniques have facilitated understanding of pathways that mediate decline in GFR. Albuminuria is a key component of CKD diagnosis, staging, and prognosis but has been less studied than GFR. We sought to investigate circulating proteins associated with higher albuminuria.

Methods

We evaluated the cross-sectional associations of the blood proteome with albuminuria and longitudinally with doubling of albuminuria in the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK; 38% female; mean GFR 46; median urine protein-to-creatinine ratio 81 mg/g; n=703) and replicated in two external cohorts: a subset of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study with CKD and the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC).

Results

In cross-sectional analysis, 104 proteins were significantly associated with albuminuria in AASK, of which 67 of 77 available proteins were replicated in ARIC and 68 of 71 available proteins in CRIC. Proteins with the strongest associations included LMAN2, TNFSFR1B, and members of the ephrin superfamily. Pathway analysis also demonstrated enrichment of ephrin family proteins. Five proteins were significantly associated with worsening albuminuria in AASK, including LMAN2 and EFNA4, which were replicated in ARIC and CRIC.

Conclusions

Among individuals with CKD, large-scale proteomic analysis identified known and novel proteins associated with albuminuria and suggested a role for ephrin signaling in albuminuria progression.
Potassium Activates mTORC2-dependent SGK1 Phosphorylation to Stimulate Epithelial Sodium Channel: Role in Rapid Renal Responses to Dietary Potassium

Published: March 2023

Significance Statement

Rapid renal responses to ingested potassium are essential to prevent hyperkalemia and also play a central role in blood pressure regulation. Although local extracellular K+ concentration in kidney tissue is increasingly recognized as an important regulator of K+ secretion, the underlying mechanisms that are relevant in vivo remain controversial. To assess the role of the signaling kinase mTOR complex-2 (mTORC2), the authors compared the effects of K+ administered by gavage in wild-type mice and knockout mice with kidney tubule-specific inactivation of mTORC2. They found that mTORC2 is rapidly activated to trigger K+ secretion and maintain electrolyte homeostasis. Downstream targets of mTORC2 implicated in epithelial sodium channel regulation (SGK1 and Nedd4-2) were concomitantly phosphorylated in wild-type, but not knockout, mice. These findings offer insight into electrolyte physiologic and regulatory mechanisms.

Background

Increasing evidence implicates the signaling kinase mTOR complex-2 (mTORC2) in rapid renal responses to changes in plasma potassium concentration [K+]. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that are relevant in vivo for these responses remain controversial.

Methods

We used Cre-Lox–mediated knockout of rapamycin-insensitive companion of TOR (Rictor) to inactivate mTORC2 in kidney tubule cells of mice. In a series of time-course experiments in wild-type and knockout mice, we assessed urinary and blood parameters and renal expression and activity of signaling molecules and transport proteins after a K+ load by gavage.

Results

A K+ load rapidly stimulated epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) processing, plasma membrane localization, and activity in wild-type, but not in knockout, mice. Downstream targets of mTORC2 implicated in ENaC regulation (SGK1 and Nedd4-2) were concomitantly phosphorylated in wild-type, but not knockout, mice. We observed differences in urine electrolytes within 60 minutes, and plasma [K+] was greater in knockout mice within 3 hours of gavage. Renal outer medullary potassium (ROMK) channels were not acutely stimulated in wild-type or knockout mice, nor were phosphorylation of other mTORC2 substrates (PKC and Akt).

Conclusions

The mTORC2-SGK1-Nedd4-2-ENaC signaling axis is a key mediator of rapid tubule cell responses to increased plasma [K+] in vivo. The effects of K+ on this signaling module are specific, in that other downstream mTORC2 targets, such as PKC and Akt, are not acutely affected, and ROMK and Large-conductance K+ (BK) channels are not activated. These findings provide new insight into the signaling network and ion transport systems that underlie renal responses to K+
in vivo.

PROTECTIVE ROLE OF ANKAFERD BLOOD STOPPER ON CADMIUM-INDUCED ACUTE NEPHROTOXICITY
Authors: İLHAN İlter , BÜYÜKBAYRAM Halil İbrahim
Published: March 2023

Objective

Cadmium (Cd) is a very toxic and carcinogenic heavy

metal that can cause harmful effects on human health.

Toxicity may develop due to Cd exposure, especially in

the kidneys. Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a herbal

mix that is used for its hemostatic properties in surgery.

Also, ABS enhances wound and tissue healing. In this

study, we aimed to evaluate the possible ameliorative

effects of ABS in Cd-induced renal damage.

Material and Method

Thirty-two male rats were randomly divided into 4

groups: control, Cd (cadmium chloride, 2.5 mg/kg

single dose, ip), ABS (ABS, 1.5 ml/kg single dose ip),

and Cd+ABS (cadmium chloride, 2.5 mg/kg single dose

ip- ABS, 1.5 ml/kg single dose ip). At the end of the

experiment, urea and creatinine levels were analyzed

from the rats’ serum. In addition, total oxidant status

(TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) levels, superoxide

dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)

activity were measured spectrophotometrically

from renal tissues. The oxidative stress index (OSI)

was calculated from TOS and TAS levels. Also, we

evaluated alterations in the mRNA expression of Bcl-

2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell-lymphoma-2 (Bcl-

2), silenced information regulator 1 (SIRT1), and p53

in kidney tissue of rats by using the qRT-PCR method.

Results

In the Cd group, serum urea, creatinine levels, and

tissue oxidative stress markers, TOS and OSI were

significantly higher while Gpx activity was significantly

lower than in the control group (p
Nuevas metodologías de e-salud. La relación asistencial para una población que envejece
Authors: Benvenga Luca
Published: March 2023

El envejecimiento de la población conlleva un cambio en la relación entre la población activa y la inactiva. En consecuencia, se produce un aumento en la carga socioeconómica de los costes de atención a las personas de edad avanzada. Así, si, por un lado, el envejecimiento de la población es un indicador positivo de mayor longevidad, por otro lado, presenta numerosos retos a los que hay que hacer frente en el ámbito nacional y europeo, en lo que se refiere al diseño de nuevas políticas sociales y culturales destinadas al empowerment de un segmento creciente de ciudadanía al que hay que sensibilizar en la participación activa en su propia salud.

La hipótesis de este artículo se basa en considerar que la fase histórica actual requiere promover y consolidar los cuidados con nuevas soluciones TIC centradas en la e-salud. A este respecto, también mostraré cómo se requiere una estrecha colaboración entre los actores privados, dedicados a diseñar y perfeccionar los diferentes sistemas digitales de atención y seguimiento, y el sistema sanitario, en un contexto de progresivas transformaciones de los hábitos culturales y de las relaciones asistenciales que, sin embargo, presentan deficiencias.

Lugares de memoria de la pandemia del coronavirus en el contexto de la ciudad de Madrid
Authors: Almazán Cabetas Rodrigo
Published: March 2023

Este trabajo se plantea como una inspección prospectiva sobre los procesos de patrimonialización y espacialización cultural de la pandemia del coronavirus, habiendo pasado ya más de dos años desde su impactante irrupción. De esta forma, se observan las prácticas y discursos realizados desde las posiciones hegemónicas y subalternas. Por otra parte, se indaga sobre la convivencia de estos espacios con otros lenguajes espaciales de la memoria preexistentes, así como su presencia en el contexto geográfico de una ciudad global como Madrid, con sus procesos de turistificación y metropolización que se producen de forma paralela.

En resumen, se trata de descubrir la manera en la que la pandemia va a contarse por medio de todo tipo de representaciones en el espacio público (calles, plazas, placas o monumentos, entre otras manifestaciones). Además, se analiza cómo estos imaginarios simbólicos se infiltran en la construcción de lo que llamamos memoria colectiva. Asimismo, se trata el caso de los espacios que, durante esta crisis, tuvieron que adaptarse para funciones sanitarias o funerarias, aunque no se habían diseñado para ello; en concreto, se reflexiona acerca de cómo van a retomar sus actividades anteriores y qué marcas representativas tendrá el paso de la pandemia por ellos.

Se sap que les llegendes contemporànies solen funcionar com a mitjà per sostenir les maneres imperants i les normes socials dominants. Així, se situen a prop del moment i el lloc de l’acció narrativa. En connectar-se a un lloc conegut determinat, és a dir, localitzar-se, promouen una sensació de plausibilitat.
No obstant això, entre les llegendes que es troben a la Internet grega, poques històries relacionen l’esdeveniment narrat amb un lloc concret. La majoria de les llegendes conegudes es transmeten sense cap referència espacial i temporal. Després d’haver perdut la connexió amb llocs concrets, esdevenen, per tant, «no localitzades». De fet, la majoria de les llegendes contemporànies reconegudes que circulen a la xarxa grega solen ser representades com a incidents terrorífics que succeeixen a persones aleatòries en moments i llocs no especificats.
Què suposa la pèrdua de la localitat per a la funció del gènere si va ser un dels elements clau que va convertir les llegendes modernes en històries possibles i versemblants? Contes? Com sembla que funcionen en línia? Encara existeixen històries localitzades? I si ho fan, la localitat millora la funció que ja tenen o finalment perd el seu impacte?
Politics, folklore and humour: the case of Sant Esteve de les Roures
Authors: Samper Prunera Emili
Published: March 2023

Després de la celebració del referèndum d’autodeterminació de Catalunya de l’1 d’octubre de 2017, la Guàrdia Civil va enviar al Tribunal Suprem un informe amb la relació d’actes de suposada violència contra els cossos policials que s’havien enviat a Catalunya per evitar-ne la celebració. Segons aquest informe, l’escenari dels episodis més violents havia estat el poble de Sant Esteve de les Roures, una població inexistent. A partir d’aquell moment i de manera vertiginosa, Sant Esteve de les Roures va cobrar vida a Internet, amb la creació de perfils que mostraven tots els serveis i les entitats d’aquest poble de 750.000 habitants presidit per l’alcalde Josep Orni. El propòsit d’aquest article és resseguir la creació espontània i popular d’aquest poble inventat per la Guàrdia Civil com a exemple de creativitat i gestió d’una crisi política mitjançant l’humor.
Voces discursivas e ideologías sobre la lengua en textos metalingüísticos
Authors: Marimón Llorca Carmen
Published: March 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la relevancia de las estrategias retóricas de persuasión basadas en el ethos en el género periodístico de las Columnas sobre la lengua (CSL) en español. Las CSL presentan a una persona de reconocido prestigio que se posiciona con respecto a alguna cuestión, a menudo relacionada con el uso correcto de la lengua. La relevancia argumentativa que muestra el sujeto hablante en este tipo de textos nos ha llevado a preguntarnos qué mecanismos permiten construir una imagen discursiva, un ethos capaz de conseguir la adhesión de los lectores a una determinada visión ideológica de la lengua. Para ello, se han analizado cuatro columnas de presentación pertenecientes a diferentes autores, años y medios de comunicación.
Una Revisión Diacrónica del Participio Activo Español. Gradientes Categoriales y Oficio Agentivo de una Forma Desverbalizada
Authors: Jodra Guillermo M.
Published: March 2023

¿Existe un participio activo en el español moderno? Los tratados clásicos de Antonio Nebrija, Miguel Antonio Caro, Juan Lorenzo o Juan Francisco Mesa Sanz han formulado el interrogante preguntándose, en realidad, si pervive en la lengua española el participio activo presente del latín, en vez de ponderar la existencia o no de un participio activo propiamente español. Tal perspectiva, que espera de la lengua algo que no puede darle, explica la actual pérdida de interés por dicho fenómeno lingüístico. Demostrando que la mengua en su estatuto y la relegación de las gramáticas canónicas no implica una pérdida de la capacidad para expresar la agencia activa presente, el artículo analiza los fenómenos sintácticos que han privado al participio activo de su carácter verbal, así como el proceso de su recategorización en forma de adjetivos, sustantivos, adverbios y hasta preposiciones. En última instancia, la investigación del participio español impele a reconsiderar las categorías gramaticales tradicionalmente llamadas clases de palabras o partes de la oración en busca de una taxonomía que pueda dar sincrónica y diacrónicamente cuenta de la peculiar naturaleza verbal-nominal-adjetival del participio. La respuesta, sugeriré, al enigma podría haber estado ante nuestros ojos desde la original conceptualización griega de metokhe y latina de participium.
Lujuria y Penitencia: La Vida de Santa María Egipciaca a través de la Literatura y el Arte
Authors: Alicia Piñar Díaz Alicia , Ruiz Fernando
Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo ofrece un análisis de las principales representaciones de Santa María Egipciaca, tanto en la literatura como en el arte desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XVII. Con dicho estudio, se pretende demostrar que el éxito en la recepción de La vida de Santa María Egipciaca se basa en su capacidad para representar ideas y valores asociados al paradigma dicotómico prostituta-santa. Para ello, se examinarán las bases históricas y socioculturales de su leyenda que justifican su relevancia y la consecuente proliferación de obras que atañen a su vida. A continuación, se estudiará la iconografía presente en las principales representaciones pictóricas de la Santa.

One essential objective of rice breeding is to obtain high-yielding varieties. This study aims to (1) determine the effect of genotype (G), environment (E), and genotype by environment (G×E) interaction on agronomic traits and yield of 12 lowland rice genotypes, (2) estimate variance components and repeatability (3) identify promising rice genotypes with good agronomic performance and high yield potential. The trials were conducted in three irrigated lowland locations from June to November 2020, using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that the G×E interaction effect was significant on days to flowering, days to harvest, plant height, number of tillers, and panicle length. The genotype's main effect was significant on yield. Four IPB lines (IPB189-F-13-1-1, IPB189-F-23-2-2, IPB193-F-17-2-3, and IPB193-F-30-2-1) had a higher average yield than Ciherang and Inpari 32 varieties. The IPB189-F-23-2-2 had a panicle length stability across the three test locations and a higher average yield than the checks.

The aim of research is to reduce the utilization of water by irrigating the agricultural fields that have low moisture level through the implementation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The ARM-based irrigation solution consists of a Solar Tracking System, Wireless Information Unit (WIU), WSN and Remote Access. The Solar Tracking System utilizes maximum solar energy by using Light Dependent Resistor(LDR) to track the sun. The electric energy produced is stored in the battery which powers the ARM processor. Wireless Information Unit will collect the sensor information from Wireless Sensor Network through the use of Wi-Fi. The system monitors soil-moisture and controls the flow of water using a solenoid valve depending upon the set threshold. In the tank, Ultra Sonic sensor identifies the water level controlled by the WIU. An Android application helps the farmer to monitor the water flow and soil moisture remotely. The proposed water management methodologies for agriculture optimizes the water usage and such practices maintain the crop health, keep yield intact, and avoids human intervention. In this proposed system, soil moisture is maintained appropriately to ensure that a good harvest is obtained which in turn preserves different types of nutrients.

SOP - Routine SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data administration v1
Authors: Jundzill Mateusz
Published: March 2023

This is a step-by-step standard operating protocol (SOP) for data administration using the MongoDB database for routine SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. The collapsed note blocks contain command-line solutions that are usually faster but require more advanced IT knowledge. Additionally, we have enclosed a Github repository with a code and script approach to automate multiple data administration procedures. Please note that since these codes are specifically made to be used with the SARS-CoV-2 internal database, they will require adjustments to work with other databases. In this protocol, we have focused on using the MongoDB Compass GUI, but there are other solutions available. We recommend choosing the most suited solution for your needs.

«But, bitch, I’m still serving it». La subtitulación de un verbo del lenguaje drag en RuPaul’s Drag Race al portugués brasileño: nuevos significados, viejas palabras
Authors: Cândido Moura Willian Henrique , Iost Vinhas Luciana
Published: March 2023

RuPaul’s Drag Race es un programa de telerrealidad emitido desde 2009. A lo largo de sus temporadas, el programa ha ganado spin-offs y se ha convertido en una franquicia con versiones en varios países del mundo. Debido a esta popularización, consideramos que el programa tiene un papel ineludible en lo que actualmente entendemos por cultura drag. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la traducción al portugués brasileño de un verbo del lenguaje drag empleado en el discurso de participantes de la 13ª temporada del programa de telerrealidad, transmitido en Brasil por Netflix. Realizamos un análisis contrastivo entre las traducciones de los subtítulos de las escenas y las acepciones del verbo en diccionarios generales bilingües portugués-inglés/inglés-portugués. El análisis se basó en el análisis materialista del discurso, las teorizaciones sobre lo camp y lo drag, e investigaciones sobre la traducción audiovisual del programa. Observamos que la subtitulación de RuPaul's Drag Race permite la circulación de otros significados no previstos para los verbos que forman parte de esta red semántico-discursiva en portugués brasileño. Con esto, reflexionamos sobre los efectos de significado que ponen en circulación los verbos en el lenguaje drag, que no componen lo que puede y debe decirse desde la posición ideológica dominante en nuestra formación social, y en su uso diccionarizado, que obedece a procesos de institucionalización del saber hegemónico. A través de este estudio, planteamos que el funcionamiento del lenguaje drag pasa a entenderse como «palabras drag», ya que performa caricaturas de la feminidad al subvertir las barreras impuestas por el binarismo de género que regula dominantemente las relaciones sociales.
