Authors: Lousada Sergio , Camacho Rafael , Gouveia Joao
Published: June 2021

The present study aims to create an artificial beach in the municipality of Machico, as well as its complementary infrastructures, located on the south-eastern coast, in the municipality of Machico (Madeira Island). Machico´s beach sand consists of a mixture of black volcanic sand and round basalt stones. Usually, it has clear waters and a quiet sea. This beach also has a mooring infrastructure, thus allowing access to the sea. To achieve this study's main goals, it was initially carried out an extensive review and bibliographic research. Subsequently, a sand beach and its shelter groins were simulated and designed to hypothetically promote the retention of the sand and mitigate the tidal effects. In addition to model the beach dynamics, an extensive characterization of the extreme maritime regime was performed. A descriptive memory, a set of project execution plans, the construction contract documents/special technical conditions, the corresponding budget, and the Health and Safety Plan, were elaborated to complement this project. Some final remarks and conclusions were then presented, as well as some future projects that should be developed to deepen the knowledge of its main subjects.

Authors: Lapada Rodalyn O. , Lapada Elmar S.
Published: June 2021

This study was conducted to determine students’ experiences, reactions and opinions on bullying. It used a descriptive research design wherein students’ experiences, reactions and opinions were gathered through survey questionnaires. Purposive sampling technique was employed using snowball sampling technique. Online survey questionnaire was sent to the selected students via messenger. These students forwarded the online survey questionnaire to those students who they thought potential respondents of the study via messenger too. Finding revealed that Esperanza National High School has maintained a healthy school environment suited to the different types of learners since the bullying was less evident in the school. Occasional occurrence of bullying in the school prompted the students to rarely report the incidence to the concerned people. Students very seldom experienced the bullying from the people they frequently engaged and communicated. They normally responded to the minor incidence of bullying they experienced from the school or at home. They believed that bullying has a less extent of effect on their personal development. It is, indeed, recommended that Esperanza National High School should sustain building a positive school environment and should maintain the zero tolerance of any bullying incidence in the school.

Authors: Kucherskoy SA , Alikbaeva LA
Published: June 2021

As a result of the industrial purification of hydrocarbons from mercaptans, tens of thousands of tons of dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures, the toxicity and hazard of which has not been fully understood, are accumulated annually. The exposure standards have been developed only for dimethyl disulphide. The study was aimed to define toxicometry parameters for diethyl disulphide, disulphide oil, and the mixture of dialkyl disulphides. Toxicology studies involving male outbred rats made it possible to define the median lethal doses and concentrations: diethyl disulphide — after intragastric injection DL50 = 1575 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 18,700 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 1134 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; mixture of dialkyl disulphides — after intragastric injection DL50 = 428 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4510 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 212 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; disulphide oil — after intragastric injection DL50 = 448 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4534 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 156 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg. The hazard assessment for dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures was performed.

Published: June 2021

Despite the low incidence, low mortality and relatively mild symptoms of COVID-19 in children, there has been a rise in pediatric patients who develop a condition resembling Kawasaki disease after COVID-19 or contact with individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2. This condition is known as the pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS). This review introduces the reader to the hypotheses of PIMS-TS pathogenesis, provides information about its diagnosis and treatment, presents clinical and laboratory data and describes treatments strategies used in children and adolescents hospitalized to the intensive care unit of the Pediatric Research and Clinical Center for Infectious Diseases. Besides, the review outlines the main diagnostic and prognostic challenges of PIMS-TS.
Method for quantitative assessment of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2, its duration and antibody dynamics
Authors: Karmishin AM , Nosov NYu , Postupailo VB , Zhigarlovskiy BA , Kruglov AA , Petukhov AN
Published: June 2021

The level and duration of protective immunity are often analyzed qualitatively or semi-quantitatively. The same strategy is applied to the analysis of antibody dynamics. At some point in time t after exposure or immunization, the presence of immunity against the infection is inferred from the level of specific antibodies by comparing it to a reference value. This approach does not account for the stochastic nature of human disease after exposure to a pathogen. At the same time, it is not fully clear what antibody level should be considered protective. The aim of this study was to develop a mathematical model for quantitative determination of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and its duration. We demonstrate that the problem of describing protective immunity in quantitative terms can be broken down into 2 interrelated problems: describing the quantitative characteristics of a pathogen’s virulence (in our case, the pathogen is SARS-CoV-2) and describing the dynamics of antibody titers in a biological organism. Below, we provide solutions for these problems and identify parameters of the model which describes such dynamics. Using the proposed model, we offer a theoretical solution to the problem of protective immunity and its duration. We also note that in order to quantitatively determine the studied parameters in a homogenous population group, it is necessary to know 5 parameters of the bivariate probability density function for correlated continuous random variables: the infective dose of the pathogen and the antibody titer at which the disease develops and which are still unknown.

Published: June 2021

This study investigated the relationships among managerial leadership, transformational leadership, and performance of school administrators of Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Covariance-Based SEM (CB-SEM), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with its default Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) were used to test the hypothesized model that managerial leadership covary transformational leadership which were both related to the school administrators’ performance. Results revealed that of the eight alternative models, two equivalent models, one model generates every probability distribution that can be generated by another model, Model B3 and Model D3 were generated, got the smallest Alkaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayes Information Criterion (BIC) indicating that both models had relatively better fit. Model B3 and Model D3 have the same degrees of freedom but feature a different configuration of paths among the same variables. However, of the two equivalent models, model B3 was rejected due to discriminant validity concerns while model D3 passed both measurement model and structural model, model D3 was confirmed and retained. As contribution to the fields of education, management and leadership, the researcher confirmed and recommends, through CB-SEM using CFA with its default MLE, the Managerial Leadership and Performance as fully mediated by Transformational Leadership Model.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Digital Financial Services (DFSs) in confronting COVID-19 crisis in Bangladesh. It attempts to explore the magnitude of using DFSs along with the efficacy and difficulties of DFSs in coping with humanitarian emergency during COVID-19 pandemic. For analyzing the role of DFSs, the study collects primary data by carrying out a computerized questionnaire survey among 100 respondents. According to the field survey outcomes, DFSs are found useful as transactions can be done efficiently while maintaining social distance. Therefore, an increasing number of people are using DFSs for financial transactions during the pandemic. However, the survey outcomes also report that preferring DFSs over physical cash have many challenges such as data privacy concern, digital fraud, transaction limit problem, difficulty in cashing out and others. If these challenges are addressed properly, DFSs can play an important role in strengthening the resilience of populations during the crisis.

Sugarcane industries generate a variety of by-products, which create disposal and environmental problems. The aim of current study was to find out the ways for utilization of these by-products in rice production. To elucidate this, a field trial was conducted at the research area (30.2°E; 71.5N°) of Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. The calcareous soil with high pH (8.6) and low organic matter (0.5%) was used with following treatments: no input control (CK), only chemical fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK; CF), NPK+ Sugarcane Bagasse (SB), NPK+ Press Mud (PM), NPK+ Sugarcane Vinasse (SV), NPK+SB+PM (SB+PM), NPK+SB+SV (SB+SV), NPK+PM+SV (PM+SV), NPK+SB+PM+SV (SB+PM+SV). The results showed that SB significantly increased the plant height (16.3%), panicle length (9.3%), paddy yield (213.1%), and straw yield (189. 9%). Nutrient uptake was also improved, SB enhanced TN (324.6%), while the SB+PM increased the total phosphorus (318.2%), and total potassium (163.7%) contents in grains. Likewise, agronomic nutrient use efficiency was enhanced in SB treatment for N (274.2%), P (81.4%), and K (378.5%). Maximum net profit and benefit-cost ratio was observed in SB (93925 rupees; 0.54), followed by PM (91150; 0.53), SB+PM (85338; 0.51), and minimum was in control (12400; 0.22), respectively. The study concludes, application of organic by-products (SB+PM) can increase rice productivity and farm income with environmental safety.

Published: June 2021

Two-phase flow behaviour and its flow patterns have a significant effect in many applications in industry. Oil-gas is one of the two-phase flow types that have many applications in petroleum and power stations. An oil-gas two-phase flow behaviour and flow patterns have been investigated in an inclined pipe using two different tomography sensors: Wire Mesh sensor (WMS) and Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT). A special experimental facility was designed and built to operate the tow-phase flow application in the inclined pipe with the various angle of inclination. A set of experimental data were collected using operating conditions which covered a two-phase flow range of superficial velocity of gas (Usl) from 0.05 to 0.52 m/s and superficial velocity of liquid (Usg) from 0.05 to 4.7 m/s at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Three inclined angles to change the pipe’s inclination 45, 60, and 80-degree were applied in the experiments. The Comparison between the Wire Mesh Sensor (WMS) and Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) was completed experimentally. The results revealed that there is a good agreement between the two sensors, however; the WMS had a higher frequency which was calculated 1000 frames per second compared with the ECT which worked at 200 frames per second.
EFFECTS OF PHOSPHORUS AVAILABILITY ON NODULATION AND NITROGEN UPTAKE BY THREE LEGUME CROPS IN TWO GHANAIAN SOILS
Authors: Boateng Alex , Owusu-Bennoah Emmanuel
Published: June 2021

Purpose: A greenhouse study of Soybean, Cowpea and Pigeon Pea was made at University of Ghana, to determine the effects of phosphorus availability on nodulation and nitrogen uptake by the afore mentioned legumes in two Ghanaian soils, Adenta and Nzema series.

Methodology: Three P rates of 0mg, 50mg and 100mg P of TSP and TPR were applied to a kilogram of soil per pot in two soil series. The pots were arranged using Randomized Complete Block Design. GenstatR was used to do the statistical analysis.

Findings: The results from this study showed that with or without Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) or Togo Phosphate Rock (TPR), soybean did not form nodules in the Nzema soil but nodulated with TSP application in the Adenta soil. The absence of nodulation even with high P from TSP by soybean in Nzema soil is surprising but the observation in the Nzema soil may be attributed to the absence of soybean Rhizobium cells or insignificant numbers of these rhizobia. The improvement in the dry matter yield of pigeon pea and cowpea on Adenta soil and soybean on the Nzema soil at TPR50 and TPR100 show the importance of P application to dry matter yield of legumes. Significant difference that was shown by cowpea on Nzema soil could be attributed to the ability of the crop to desorp P from sparingly available P sources through exudation of high amounts of organic acid anions, mainly citrate.

Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: In the soil, Rhizobium species must recognize their specific host before nodulation may take place and the absence of the appropriate Rhizobium species with the introduction of a legume into a given soil may result in no or poor nodulation. Low P availability is a challenge for crop species to nodulate since the rhizobia responsible for nitrogen fixation have a high P requirement. The toxicity of Aluminum to rhizobia may be due to inhibition of DNA replication because of binding of Aluminum to DNA. One factor that could have accounted for the better nodulation in soil is the higher acidity. The optimum pH for effective rhizobia growth in soils is between pH 6 and 7.

Union Leaders' language during conflict: Does gender matter?
Authors: Keim Charles , Reshef Yonatan
Published: June 2021

We analyze the language used by two consecutive British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) presidents, Susan Lambert and Jim Iker, during two collective bargaining sessions that pitted the BCTF against the British Columbia (BC) government and the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA). Our study analyzes how gender language differences if they indeed exist, are manifested during critical moments that require strong leadership. Language is a critical resource for leaders, who use it to define issues, assign motives and inspire action, and portray themselves as people of power and consequence. Both women and men can employ a variety of linguistic strategies and the linguistic decisions that male and female leaders make provide a window onto if and how gender may be manifested by those in power and how they use language to present themselves as effective leaders. In this paper, we explore whether and how gender influences the linguistic choices of a male and female union leader during times of conflict.

Smilax glabra rhizoma (SGR) has been used in traditional medicine remedies for the treatment of joint pain and inflammation, and recently, has been presented in dietary supplements for supporting arthritis and gout treatment. In the 5th Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia, astilbin was chosen as a chemical marker for the quality control of Smilax glabra as herbal medicine. A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of astilbin in dietary supplements containing Smilax glabra. Ultrasonic extraction with 60% methanol was used for astilbin extraction from herbal products. HPLC analysis was performed with a C18 column and a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water in gradient mode, with UV detection at 291 nm. The method was validated according to AOAC International’s requirements with high specificity and precision.
O necrobiopoder sobre o corpo vulnerabilizado no Conjunto Heliópolis: As dimensões da injustiça ambiental no gerenciamento de risco em áreas contaminadas na capital paulista
Authors: Rodrigues Letícia Stevanato
Published: June 2021

A produção de áreas contaminadas na cidade de São Paulo e as diversas formas de exclusão da população de baixa renda ao espaço urbano, dentre elas a destituição do acesso à moradia digna em ambientes saudáveis, tem levado a situações de injustiça ambiental por meio da ocupação de áreas inseguras. Em áreas contaminadas, práticas de gerenciamento de risco realizadas por meio de procedimentos técnico-científicos socialmente herméticos, com intervenções pouco contextualizadas à realidade dos grupos ex­postos, tendem a agravar as condições de exclusão dos grupos vulnerabilizados pelo processo de produ­ção do espaço. Este artigo visa identificar e analisar as dimensões da injustiça ambiental vivenciada pelos moradores do Conjunto Heliópolis, construído sobre um lixão no município de São Paulo, à luz da agenda interdisciplinar da Ecologia Política. Como metodologia, realizou-se um estudo de caso com análise quali­tativa crítica por meio da triangulação de dados de entrevistas com moradores da área de estudo, da análise de documentos técnicos sobre o Conjunto Heliópolis e de observações não-participante registra­das em caderno de campo. Os resultados revelam a imbricação das dinâmicas de discriminação e de ex­clusão social na produção capitalista do espaço urbano, nos processos decisórios instituídos por procedi­mentos técnico-científicos em situações de risco e nas relações locais nos territórios afetados. Essa junção desvela o que se denominou como Necrobiopoder patrimonialista, um poder inerente à estruturação da sociedade brasileira e da produção capitalista do espaço urbano paulistano.
A grande transformação da planície do norte do Rio de Janeiro (1933-1990)
Authors: Soffiati Arthur
Published: June 2021

As planícies costeiras do Atlântico Sul formaram-se nos últimos 5 mil anos e foram um dos primeiros terrenos tocados na América por europeus em seu processo de expansão, no século XV. Áreas de tabu­leiros também se estendem na zona costeira e foram conquistadas no século XVI para a obtenção de lenha e madeira, tanto quanto para a abertura de terras para a agropecuária. As planícies, principalmen­te, contavam com extensas áreas úmidas que dificultavam uma economia agropecuária. Durante todo o período colonial e ao longo do século XIX, a excessiva umidade impunha limitações à agropecuária. A modernização dessa atividade, a partir do final do século XIX, acabou exigindo a drenagem de tais áreas em todo o Brasil. Várias comissões de saneamento foram criadas para tal finalidade. A que se firmou, entre 1940 e 1989, em todo o país foi o Departamento Nacional de Obras e Saneamento (DNOS). A atu­ação do órgão promoveu uma grande transformação no ambiente com profundas consequências soci­ais. O presente artigo toma o caso da planície do norte do estado do Rio de Janeiro para ilustrar a gran­de transformação por que passaram esses terrenos e os problemas ambientais dela resultantes. Hoje, a agropecuária no Norte Fluminense mostra sensíveis sinais de esgotamento.

Published: June 2021

O presente artigo realiza uma análise acerca do julgado no HC 138.484/DF, portanto, tem como objeto de estudo o conceito de funcionário público - sua extensão e abrangência em relação ao disposto no artigo 327, § 1°, do Código Penal. Dessa forma, após pontuar os fundamentos dos votos ministeriais, o exame explora criticamente os principais argumentos elencados mediante a investigação do uso do termo "funcionário público" antes e depois da vigência da Constituição Federal de 1988, bem como por meio da plausibilidade de incidência do artigo 327, § 1°, do Código Penal no tocante à responsabilidade de agentes diretores de organizações sociais. Finalmente, destacando a Lei 8.429/92 e a Lei 9.637/98, o artigo apresenta o entendimento do autor sobre o acerto do que fora firmado perante o julgamento do HC 138.484/DF.
Lenguaje y elección de teorías: contra la historia oficial
Authors: Gómez Ricardo J.
Published: June 2021

La historia oficial del neopositivismo, en particular respecto de las propuestas de R. Carnap acerca de la aceptación-rechazo de teorías, sostiene que “Carnap [pretendió] evitar (o evadir) la idea […] de que en la actividad de seleccionar teorías se presuponen valores […] quería reducir la elección de teorías a un algoritmo” (Putnam 2002, p. 141). Dicha historia es la que usualmente aparece en los libros de texto sobre el positivismo y/o sobre la historia de la filosofía de las ciencias, así como en aproximaciones críticas al empirismo, en general, y a Carnap en particular. En el presente trabajo argumentaremos que Carnap explícitamente no llevó a cabo tal reducción y no pretendió evadir la presencia de juicios de valor, aunque de un tipo muy especial.

Pendahuluan: Reseptor Estrogen α (ERα) merupakan salah satu target reseptor utama dari pengobatan kanker payudara, sehingga penghambat ERα adalah salah satu obat yang paling potensial dalam pengobatan kanker payudara. Pencarian terhadap molekul penghambat ERα dapat ditemukan pada senyawa dari tanaman tradisional, seperti misalnya habbatussauda (Nigella sativa). Habbatussauda telah dijelaskan pada Thibbun Nabawi sebagai tumbuhan yang dapat mengobati segala penyakit, namun masih belum ada penelitian yang menjelaskan senyawa dalam habbatussauda sebagai penghambat ERα. Habbatussauda diketahui memiliki beberapa kandungan senyawa yang memiliki aktivitas farmakologis, seperti antioksidan dan antikanker. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi dan interaksi dari senyawa yang terkandung dalam habbatussauda sebagai pengobatan baru kanker payudara dengan target ERα.

Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penambatan molekuler dengan peranti lunak AutoDock 4.2 dengan metode pencarian Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm (LGA). Penambatan molekuler dikenal ilmuwan sebagai metode yang cepat dan hemat biaya.

Hasil: Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa senyawa stigmasterol dalam habbatussauda berpotensi sebagai inhibitor ERα dengan nilai ΔG sebesar -10,14 kkal/mol dan Ki sebesar 36,99 nM.

Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa stigmasterol merupakan kandidat potensial sebagai inhibitor ERα yang baru. Selain itu, penelitian ini mendapatkan beberapa residu asam amino yang diduga penting dalam aktivitas penghambatan ERα, yaitu Leu346, Glu353, Leu387, dan Arg394, serta memberikan bukti ilmiah bahwa senyawa kimia dalam Nigella sativa memiliki potensi sebagai obat kanker payudara.

Pendahuluan: Reaksi Obat yang Tidak Dikehendaki (ROTD) merupakan efek samping yang timbul dari penggunaan obat dengan dosis normal. ROTD dapat menyebabkan penurunan kualitas hidup, peningkatan frekuensi ke dokter dan kematian. Kejadian ROTD pada penderita Penyakit Ginjal Kronis (PGK) tahap akhir terutama pada pasien rawat jalan belum banyak diteliti. Penderita PGK memiliki risiko lebih besar mengalami ROTD dikarenakan pada penderita PGK tahap akhir, ginjal mengalami penurunan fungsi ginjal dan obat yang dikonsumsi dapat terakumulasi dalam tubuh. Dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui kejadian ROTD pada pasien rawat jalan Pasien PGK tahap akhir.

Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan cross sectional. Data demografis dan status ROTD dikumpulkan melalui Lembar Pengumpul Data (LPD). Data penggunaan obat akan dikelompokkan menjadi obat yang berpotensi ROTD dan obat yang tidak berpotensi ROTD, kemudian dilakukan analisis dengan uji Chi-square untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya korelasi antara obat yang berpotensi ROTD dengan kejadian ROTD pada pasien rawat jalan PGK tahap akhir.

Hasil: Penelitian ini mendapatkan 62 responden yang memenuhi inklusi. Dari uji antara hasil karaktersitik dan kejadian ROTD diketahui bahwa ada korelasi antara alergi dengan kejadian ROTD (p=0,018). Berdasarkan hasil uji Chi-square antara penggunaan obat yang berpotensi ROTD dengan kejadian ROTD pada pasien rawat jalan tahap akhir tidak memiliki korelasi (nilai p=0,812).

Kesimpulan: Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara obat yang berpotensi ROTD dengan kejadian ROTD pada pasien rawat jalan PGK tahap akhir (nilai p=0,812).

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la influencia del volumen de anhídrido acético (AA) y tiempo de reacción en el porcentaje de acetilos, grado de sustitución, porcentaje del poder de hinchamiento, índice de solubilidad en agua e índice de absorción de agua del almidón acetilado. Para ello se evaluó la influencia del volumen del anhídrido acético (5, 10, 15 ml) y el tiempo de reacción (30, 60 y 90 min) sobre el porcentaje de acetilo (PA), grado de sustitución (GS), poder de hinchamiento (PH), índice de solubilidad en agua (ISA) e índice de absorción de agua del almidón (IAA).

El volumen de anhídrido acético influyó significativamente en PA, GS, PH, ISA e IAA; mientras que el tiempo de reacción solo influyó significativamente en el PA, GS e ISA (p≥ 0.05). Sin embargo, la interacción entre ambas variables incidió significativamente (p≤ 0.05) en el PH, ISA e IAA (p≤ 0.05). La superficie del granulo presentó ligeros daños al incrementar el volumen de anhidro acético y el tiempo de reacción. El valor del coeficiente de regresión R2 indicó que los modelos ajustados explicaron entre el 99,8929 % y el 97,9964 % la variabilidad de las variables de respuesta.

Published: June 2021

Con el crecimiento exponencial del uso de dispositivos móviles inteligentes, se han desarrollado varias aplicaciones en medicina veterinaria que han contribuido a facilitar el acceso a la información en diferentes ámbitos, en los cuales se incluyen la evaluación del dolor, el cual ha sido una preocupación constante de los profesionales de la salud animal. En el presente trabajo se planteó como objetivo desarrollar e implementar una App digital basados en la escala de Melbourne y Glasgow modificada, desarrollando una base de datos para el sistema operativo Android, obteniendo una escala digital, con un score de 27 puntos, 5 niveles de dolor, y un exportador PDF. Para la verificación de esta aplicación se procedió a cuantificar las variables dependientes que utiliza la escala de Melbourne y Glasgow, evaluando el dolor postquirúrgico en un total de 113 perros, de los cuales, en 43 pacientes se realizaron 208 observaciones en diferentes tiempos por medio de la escala impresa, en tanto que mediante painVet se observaron y valoraron 70 pacientes, con un total de 197 observaciones, definiendo un intervalo de confianza (P<0.05). Lo que nos llevó a concluir que painVet es una herramienta útil, que permite valorar y registrar los niveles de dolor posquirúrgico en caninos; de igual forma se pudo observar que los pacientes con dolor posquirúrgico presentan con mayor frecuencia midriasis, salivación, vómitos y cambios de su estado mental, signos que se convierten en claves en la valoración del dolor posquirúrgico en perros.
Breve paseo histórico por el dibujo de edificación y de urbanismo de promoción pública en la ciudad de Alicante. Fondos A.M.A. (1691-1860)
Authors: Domingo Gresa Jorge
Published: June 2021

Este artículo recorre, cronológicamente, la producción gráfica pública alicantina, de urbanismo y edificación, a través de las piezas más significativas, tanto por importancia y repercusión en el momento de su elaboración, como por influencia en posteriores documentos relevantes. Los planos son anteriores a 1860 (derribo últimas murallas) y todos proceden del Archivo Municipal de Alicante (AMA en el texto). Su representatividad se fundamenta en el estudio y conocimiento de los 1.026 que integran el periodo considerado, obtenido de la previa digitalización de todos ellos, por el autor, para un catálogo todavía inédito. Entre los objetivos del trabajo, figura el de dar a conocer los dibujos y mostrar su utilidad para comprender la evolución disciplinar y su relación con la sociedad que los produce. También se trata de reivindicar el valor patrimonial de los documentos y su digitalización como mejor protección, así como la vigencia de las investigaciones de orden local, tan necesarias como ingratas.

Authors: Ibarzo Joven Claudia
Published: June 2021

Esta propuesta explora las posibilidades didácticas que brinda la teoría de la performatividad de género de Judith Butler en su aplicación a la educación literaria y a la enseñanza de la cultura clásica. A través de un marco teórico que pone en relación estos tres elementos, presentes en el currículo de Latín, se exponen las aportaciones que su explotación didáctica puede realizar a la construcción de la identidad lectora y de género del alumnado. Tras esta exposición, que incluye criterios para la selección de un corpus de textos adecuados a estos planteamientos educativos, se ofrecen unas conclusiones sobre la viabilidad de la propuesta.
