Authors: Маркова В.Д.
Published: April 2023

Для проверки гипотезы о возможности роста бизнеса, функционирующего на основе цифровых платформ, и определения рычагов такого роста проведен сравнительный анализ бизнес-моделей и результатов деятельности двух российских ИТ-компаний одной сферы. Компании «1С» и «Галактика», которые входят в пятерку ведущих игроков российского рынка корпоративного программного обеспечения, создали специализированные цифровые платформы технологических решений в сфере автоматизации учета и управления на предприятиях разных отраслей, но при этом используют разные бизнес-модели. Выделен главный рычаг роста компании «1С» в нестабильной и динамичной внешней среде – ее мультиагентная и многофункциональная партнерская сеть, или экосистема. Показано, что экосистемная бизнес-модель компании «1С» обеспечила ей быстрый рост и после ухода компании SAP позволила занять лидирующую позицию на российском рынке, опередив ближайшего конкурента – компанию «Галактика» по всем значимым параметрам в десятки и более раз. Однако при этом появляется опасность рыночного доминирования компании «1С».

Visual identity of the cities of the Russian North
Authors:   federal state budget educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg State University of Culture», Gladkikh Elena Borisovna
Published: April 2023

Visual identifiers of urban culture are recognizable by all images, largely marking it. They reflect the basic values and meanings of urban culture, its phenomena, and atmosphere. The identification of these markers, the analysis of their changes in historical dynamics, is an important issue not only for fixing the historical and cultural identity of territories and cities, but also to predict their development in the near and possibly long term. The article analyzes the visual urban identity of the cities of the Russian North, including images of historical heraldry, as well as modern brands. Heraldic and brand images are considered as a symbolic reflection of various aspects of culture, preserving its semantic space and connection with traditions in the context of cultural transformations.
Collect and scatter: the architectonics of cultural space
Authors:   federal state budget educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg State University of Culture», Suvorov Nikolai Nikolaevich
Published: April 2023

The architectonics of the cultural space obeys the laws and its movement is guided by intentions. Such intentions may include gathering and scattering, which arbitrarily and freely concentrate and dilute the space of culture, directing it to the main centers of development. Spatial extension is complemented by a variety of temporality. The cultural space of the subject, subordinated to personal interests and the peculiarities of its own world formation, is highlighted. Event certainty is fixed by naming. Thanks to the event, time discovers a structure filled with multidirectional intentions. The main ones are: focus on the subject, focus on being and focus on one’s own nature – on the event. The social space, unlike the cultural one, is radical. Therefore, its main intentions are defined as cutting and stitching.
The professionogram of the manager of socio-cultural activities: the meta-competence aspect
Authors:   federal state budget educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg State University of Culture», Sukalo Aleksandr Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2023

The issues of reforming the modern system of higher education in the Russian Federation are considered and the tasks of training professionals in socio-cultural activities are specified. The justified refusal of the Russian Federation from further integration into the European educational space determines the need to rethink the approach to the forms of organization and content of educational practices in the humanitarian field in general, and in the direction of training «socio-cultural activities», in particular. The author believes that the most productive modification strategy is the gradual rejection of the modular approach and the implementation of a subject-centered model of training specialists, the central component of which is the development of creative abilities and the formation of value orientations of the student’s personality. The necessity of developing and implementing metaprofessional competencies in the educational practice of the transition period as a consensual basis of the profession is argued. As meta-competencies, such as: consistency, axiological, socio-cultural leadership are considered.

Studying text expressiveness in a novel of the Enlightenment period for text-producing competence formation among students – future linguists (on the material of S. Richardson’s ‘Pamela’)
Authors: Balashova Tatyana Alexandrovna
Published: April 2023

The aim of the research is to substantiate the possibility of forming the text-producing competence among students – future linguists based on the study of text expressiveness in a novel of the Enlightenment period (using the material of S. Richardson’s ‘Pamela’). The paper presents the experience of modelling the educational process in the framework of the discipline “History of literature in the target language area” and other disciplines that involve analytical reading of students in the training programme 45.03.02 “Linguistics”. The tasks proposed in the paper will help to study the notion of expressiveness and analyse language expressiveness in S. Richardson’s novel based on some letters of the main character Pamela Andrews. The scientific novelty lies in developing a stage-by-stage methodology for teaching language students the basics of text expressiveness. As a result of the research, the stages of mastering the notion of text expressiveness (the problem and search stage, the search and research stage, the productive-creative stage with the use of game and quiz technologies) have been modelled and characterised in the framework of teaching analytical reading to students – future linguists.
“A disoriented individual”, or “A hero of his time” in the literature of the late XX century
Authors: Klimova Tamara Yurievna
Published: April 2023

The research aims to describe the historical dynamics of development and the semantic content of the “hero of his time” archetype in the literature of the XX century. The scientific novelty of the paper consists in recording the conditions and patterns of projecting the name of Lermontov’s archetype onto the present, in systematising and clarifying the modern ideas about the structure of the literary image, as well as in identifying the boundaries of the variability of the “hero of the time” archetype. Considering the series of the images “Pechorin – Zilov – Lyova Odoevtsev – Petrovich”, the author of the paper highlights ambiguous complexity, giftedness, the ability for continuous revelatory self-reflection in the absence of desire and incentive to change something in himself and the surrounding world as the identifying features of the character type. The research findings have shown that the “hero of the crossroads”, having kept the core of his personality unchanged, has undergone a number of historically contingent transformations of his image and is evolving towards expanding the boundaries of what is permitted: Pechorin runs away from public morality, Zilov cynically exposes its failure, Odoevtsev covers up his infantilism with a noble origin, Petrovich justifies bloodshed with literary plots.
Literary representation of an autistic teenager’s consciousness in the modern national prose for teenagers
Authors: Svitenko Natalya Viatcheslavovna
Published: April 2023

The aim of the research is the comprehension of the ways of psychological introspection of an autistic character’s “impermeable” consciousness in a literary text. In the article, the features of aesthetic manifestation of world perception by an autistic teenager are analyzed in the modern national prose for teenagers. The appeal to the narrative form of inner monologue allows the author to represent an autist’s complex consciousness as close as possible to his autistic worldview (perception of the world as a constant flow of information, the issue of decryption of other people’s emotions). The scientific novelty consists in revealing the artistic forms representing an autistic teenager’s complex consciousness who is the main character, narrator, speech actor expressing the point of view in the story “My Anika” by A. Zaytseva. The results showed that the plot-compositional and psychological functions of narrative forms of inner speech and stream of consciousness make it possible to model a worldview from the point of view of a teenager who has specific features of world perception and thus present this worldview to a reader.
Female characters in V. M. Shukshin’s prose
Authors: Shao Sijia
Published: April 2023

This article is devoted to the study of female characters in minor genres of V. M. Shukshin’s prose. The aim of this research is to reveal the features of depicting a female character in V. M. Shukshin’s creative work by the examples of the stories ‘Snowball Berry Red’, ‘Light Souls’, ‘Tough Man’, ‘Mother’s Heart’, ‘Stepka’s Love’, ‘The Sun, Old Man and Girl’, ‘Unscrupulous Persons’, ‘Wife Saw off Her Husband to Paris’, ‘Queer Fish’. This paper is novel in that the female characters in V. M. Shukshin’s prose have been generalized and classified. The questions of developing female characters are discussed in the article. As a result, it has been identified that the female characters shown in V. M. Shukshin’s prose can be divided into the ideal, the traditional, the progressive and the vulgar types. These female characters not only influence directly or indirectly the behaviour and the lives of the main characters of the stories and novellas but they turn out to be a transmitter of the author’s humanistic values which demonstrate the writer’s attraction to a moral ideal of a woman who combines the features of a wife, a mother and a homemaker.
Speech tactics and techniques for the implementation of the strategy of information reveal in the German-language political interview (on the material of the programme “Markus Lanz”)
Authors: Lezhnina Anna Sergeevna
Published: April 2023

The aim of the study is to highlight some of the speech tactics and techniques used by the interviewer to implement the communicative strategy of information reveal in the German-language political interview. The paper deals with the role of the addressee in the German-language political interview; analyses the strategy of information reveal as the main communicative strategy of the interviewer; presents speech tactics of the addressee using the material of the political talk show “Markus Lanz”; highlights some speech techniques for the implementation of these tactics. The study is novel in that it is the first to consider the strategy of information reveal as the leading speech strategy of the interviewer in the German-language political interview; as well as the first to present the destruction of the interlocutor’s communicative space as one of the effective speech techniques for the implementation of this strategy. As a result, it has been proved that the speech tactics of doubt and refutation, as well as various ways of intrusion into the interlocutor’s communicative space serve to reveal information in an effective manner in the German-language political interview.
Means of feedback expression in the German language
Authors: Shurupova Tatiana Yurievna
Published: April 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the specifics of the means of feedback expression in the oral form in German as a type of verbal evaluative interaction in professional communication. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in using a multimodal approach to determining linguistic and non-linguistic means of feedback expression in German. The capabilities of multimodal analysis make it possible to take into account both auditory speech data and visual information during speech, such as facial expressions and gestures. The results have shown that feedback occupies an important position in the process of business communication, serves as a regulator in professional relationships. Feedback has characteristic features, structure and is qualitatively different from praise or criticism. Multimodal analysis involving native speakers allows the researcher to obtain data on the dominant means for expressing the studied intention. From the perspective of linguistic means, this intention is perceived as a complex of phonetic and lexico-syntactic markers. The paper also presents an analysis of nonverbal and proxemic signs of feedback and a list of emotional meanings accompanying its expression.

Published: April 2023

In this study, the main focus is to study of air flow characteristic of UAV quadcopter propeller at incorporate blade profile using variableangle of attack (AoA)and revolution per minute (RPM) with its twisted blade using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) / Ansys tool. Three propellers have been designed which Propeller 1 is untwisted while Propeller 2 and 3 twisted at certain angle. Three speeds which are 4000 rpm, 6000 rpm and 8000 rpm have been set for each propeller are being analysed using ANSYS Fluid Flow (fluent). The result shows the different thrust force generated by three propellers and Propeller 2 (33.6757 N) has the highest thrust force generated compared to Propeller 1 and 3 especially at 8000 rpm. This is due to the suitable twisting angle profile that has been set at the Propeller 2at this operating speed. For comparison, Propeller 3 produce the highest thrust force of 18.44Nat 6000 rpmexceeding Propeller 2 which is 17.81 N.To summarize, each propeller blade profile has a distinctive aerodynamic performance and should be adopted by matching the flight operating condition. Higher rpmgenerateshigherthrust force, and increaselift and drag coefficient.

Authors:   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Jamaludin Nik Muhammad Jafni , Sapit Azwan ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: April 2023

The geometry of the car's side mirror influences the aerodynamic noise. This study will use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the effect of aerodynamic analysis on noise from the side mirror. In this study, we will design two types of side mirrors using the Honda Civic EG9 for sedans and the Range Rover Evoque for SUVs. SolidWorks software was used for geometry modelling and the analysis was completed using the ANSYS software. Three streamline velocity values (80 km/h,100km/h, 120 km/h) were chosen as references. The results of the analysis included the side mirror's drag force, acoustic contour, and velocity streamlines. Design 1, produces a maximum acoustic power level of 77.21 dB when travelling at a high speed of 120 km/h. The maximum acoustic power level for Design 2, which travels at 120 km/h is 75.71dB. In summary, Design 2's side mirror has a higher acoustic power level than Design 1's side mirror. Design 1 produces a drag force of 4.52 N at a high speed of 120 km/h while Design 2 results in a drag force of 6.36 N at a high speed of 120 km/h.

The current study looks at flight behavior in lateral and directional motion.The investigation involves setting up the aircraft under an equilibrium condition with a small disturbance applied to it. Plotting the side slip angle, roll angle, and yaw angle with respect to time in the presence of disturbances can be used to investigate flight behavior in lateral and directional motion. Here the disturbance can be simulated by the movement of the aileron or rudder, in which these two control surfaces can be designed to move in a single impulse or multiple impulse disturbance mode. These two disturbance modes are used on the Beechcraft 99 and Cessna T37 aircraft. Both impulse disturbance models are used for the aileron and the rudder. However, in the current work, the Beechcraft 99 receives a single impulse, whereas the Cessna T37 receives multiple impulses. The implementation of such disturbances found that the Beechcraft 99 represented the aircraft that would be able to go back to its initial condition in response to a single impulse disturbance modewhile the Cessna T37 aircraft requires a little more time to return to its original yaw angle. Following the implementation of these twotypes of disturbances, it was discovered that each aircraft has the ability to return to its initial condition, but at varying times to reach its steady state solution.
The Futures of Leadership: Assessing the State of Governance in Talalora District amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ortego Kimberly Mae Isanan
Published: April 2023

The world was never the same again when COVID-19 came. For managers, business owners, and employees alike, it was like something they have not seen before. For school leaders, it was a challenging and overwhelming task to run the school amid the lockdowns and community quarantines. This study aimed to assess the state of governance in Talalora District, one of the 34 districts in the Division of Samar, through a descriptive-quantitative research design, the state of school operations, fiscal management, implementation of DepEd programs, projects, and activities, and human resource development. This study reveals the aspects such as late submission of reports, difficulty in communicating with teachers and school personnel because of intermittent internet connection, and a decrease in productivity were noted for teachers as they were overworked in accomplishing their tasks. The MOOE allocation per quarter is not enough to cover all school expenses as there are additional purchases such as COVID-19 kits, vitamins, and other measures to help stop the spread of the virus that should be included. The implementation of DepEd programs, projects, and activities was intensified and heightened because of the pandemic. The school community showed full participation, but teachers had experienced difficulty in implementing these because of some hindering factors such as limited resources and facilities. Furthermore, human resource development is not fully maximized as there are respondents who attended the same average number of trainings before the pandemic as they are now. While most training is centered on Learning and Development, training has now become scarce because of COVID-19.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to identify critical success factors for public sector construction projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research strategy through semi-structured questionnaires to collect data from Lagos State Ministry of Works construction experts. A total of 66 usable questionnaires were retrieved and used for the analysis based on their information. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.745, and the Spearman-rank's coefficient was 0.802, indicating the high internal consistency of the questionnaire items. A quick analysis reveals that the most critical aspects of public construction projects are political considerations, the project manager's leadership qualities, an appropriately allocated budget, and efficient team management. Effective procurement process and stakeholder involvement were found to significantly impact the success of public sector building project delivery, while the leadership skills of the project managers, effective communication management, effective coordination of project activities, and efficient project delivery did not. This study sheds light on the most common reasons these projects fail and offer a wide-ranging set of recommendations for fixing them.

Introdução: As diretrizes atuais recomendam o uso da ultrassonografia intravascular de coronárias como ferramenta adjuvante em situações difíceis. Objetivo: Caracterizar a utilização da ultrassonografia intravascular em Portugal e comparar os desfechos após intervenção coronária percutânea no tronco da coronária esquerda, guiada ou não por ultrassonografia intravascular. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo multicêntrico, que analisou pacientes submetidos à intervenção coronária percutânea entre janeiro de 2012 e dezembro de 2018, incluídos no Portuguese Registry on Interventional Cardiology da Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Valor de p bicaudal <0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados: Este estudo demonstrou variação significativa na utilização da ultrassonografia intravascular em Portugal (valor de p qui-quadrado para tendência <0,001). O ano com maior utilização foi 2016 (2,4%). Houve aumento progressivo, nos últimos 7 anos, na utilização da ultrassonografia intravascular na intervenção coronária percutânea do tronco da coronária esquerda (valor de p qui-quadrado para tendência <0,001), com importantes diferenças regionais. A população submetida à intervenção coronária percutânea do tronco da coronária esquerda guiada por ultrassonografia intravascular era mais jovem, mas tinha maior prevalência de fatores de risco cardiovascular, disfunção sistólica ventricular e lesões coronárias complexas. Além disso, esse grupo de pacientes teve menor prevalência do desfecho primário intra-hospitalar (1,4% versus 3,9%; p=0,024). Porém, após análise multivariada ajustada para fatores de confusão, este estudo não demonstrou impacto significativo da utilização da ultrassonografia intravascular no desfecho intra-hospitalar. Conclusão: A utilização da ultrassonografia intravascular na intervenção coronária percutânea do tronco da coronária esquerda vem aumentando lentamente nos últimos 7 anos em Portugal. Neste estudo, a utilização desse método não teve impacto estatístico nos desfechos intra-hospitalares.
Adhering to mainstream concepts homeopathic therapy interpreted as a combination of non-specific and protein-based antigen-specific immunotherapy
Authors: Sen Amarnath
Published: April 2023

The absence of drugs in ultra-diluted homeopathic medicines and unfavourable clinical trial results portray homeopathic remedies as placebos. Here, it is proposed that homeopathic therapy is a combination of non-specific and antigen-specific mucosal immunotherapy in crude form. The non-specific immunotherapy is mediated by immunomodulatory microbial lysates (disintegration products of microbial cells) present in homeopathic medicines, given that ubiquitous microorganisms from the surrounding environment are unknowingly and unavoidably incorporated into the homeopathic medicines during their preparation and are killed and lysed in alcohol-water vehicle under shaking (‘potentization’) forming microbial lysates whose major ingredients are proteins. As proteins readily interact with a variety of substances, drugs in the homeopathic medicines should bind to the proteins. The drug binding modulates the conformation and effectively, the immunogenicity of the proteins and the latter (designated as drug-modulated proteins), like therapeutic vaccines, mediate antigen-specific immunotherapy. The hypothesis gets some support from the observations that homeopathic medicines elicit immunomodulatory response. Also, the hypothesis without invoking any disputed theory explains the basic tenets of homeopathy and associated controversies like the medicinal properties of ultra-dilutions, where protein-protein interactions via allostery and vibration synchronization bring about conformational modulation of protein molecules in the absence of drugs. As immunotherapy via homeopathic medicines is accidental and accordingly, in rudimentary form, homeopathic treatment (including medicines) cannot be optimal from the standpoint of immunotherapy. Hence, clinical trials in homeopathy may show inconsistent results. However, probing and refining homeopathy from the perspective of immunotherapy may bring forth a novel, simple and affordable immunotherapy.

With the purpose to search for predictors of aging and longevity we studied the pattern of the SOD1 and SOD2 genes polymorphic loci interaction in a sample of residents of the Republic of Bashkortostan, including 1592 individuals in age between 18 and 109 years old. We discovered the reduction of the chances to become the long-liver among carriers of the combination ofSOD2*rs4880*TT genotype and SOD1*rs2070424*G allele (OR=0.33, POR=0.02, SF=0.27, PSF=0.046 for elderly people and OR=0.31, POR=0.01, SF=0.28, PSF=0.041 for old seniors), as well as of the SOD2*rs4880*TT and SOD1*rs2070424*GA genotypes combination (OR=0.32, POR=0.01, SF=0.29, PSF=0.043 for the elderly people). The found alleles/genotypes combinations, which associated with the low activity of Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD, have a synergistic pattern of interaction and are unfavorable for the attainment the longevity.
Donde se revela el nombre en muerte de Pedro Rojas
Authors: Santonja Gómez-Agero Gonzalo
Published: April 2023

Tercer poema de España, aparta de mí este cáliz, versos en la memoria y el corazón de «los compañeros»: ese grito del alma era el que «solía escribir con su dedo grande en el aire» Pedro Rojas, «padre y hombre, marido y hombre, ferroviario y hombre», a quien César Vallejo hace mirandés, o sea, de Miranda de Ebro, enclave industrial y nudo ferroviario en el noreste de la provincia de Burgos, en los límites con Álava y La Rioja, ahora con más de treinta y cinco mil habitantes que durante la guerra incivil apenas llegaban a trece mil, y donde las izquierdas, concretamente el Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE), dominaban entonces y siguen dominando en la actualidad. Pedro por Petrus, piedra firme, y Rojas por las banderas rojas, pero ¿por qué ferroviario y de Miranda, donde no existe —y conste que se ha buscado— ni rastro de un represaliado llamado así? Posiblemente se trate de un homenaje del poeta a Miranda de Ebro, para él una ciudad conocida, punto de paso obligado en sus viajes por tren de París a Madrid y viceversa, y a los trabajadores del ferrocarril, uno de los gremios más politizados y con más penetración del Partido Comunista en la España de la preguerra, con varios ferroviarios mirandeses ciertamente asesinados entonces.
Los heraldos de una estética
Authors: Lespada Gustavo
Published: April 2023

El ensayo es una reflexión acerca del sentido (no solo la significación) en el primer libro de César Vallejo: Los heraldos negros. Tomamos como punto de partida la noción pergeñada por Michel Foucault de signatura, entendida no como ausencia del signo sino como su grado cero. Desde esta perspectiva nos concentramos en el poema-íncipit, de título homólogo al libro y «Espergesia», el poema-éxcipit bajo el método de indagar no solo por la apertura y cierre del poemario, sino también, y sobre todo, en calidad de representar los lugares semiológicos más emblemáticos del libro, para poder interrogar acerca del saber y la tensión fundante entre yo sé y yo no sé, una pareja que tensiona epistemes tanto como modalidades de la lengua coloquial. De este modo, se intenta, además, responder, a través de la dupla saber/nosaber, el conflicto de la crítica vallejiana entre cristianismo y marxismo.

La poesía de César Vallejo: interculturalidad y sujeto migrante en Trilce y Poemas humanos
Authors: Fernández-Cozman Camilo Rubén
Published: April 2023

La denominada «poesía intercultural» que implica el diálogo entre las culturas occidentales y las amerindias se manifiesta en la obra de César Vallejo. La ponencia fundamenta cómo la interculturalidad se manifiesta en cuatro niveles en Trilce y Poemas humanos: la lengua, la estructuración literaria, las estructuras figurativo-simbólicas y la cosmovisión. Asimismo, aborda el análisis del sujeto migrante (categoría formulada por Antonio Cornejo Polar) en los dos poemarios antes mencionados. La migración de Trujillo a Lima o del Perú a París constituyen ejes fundamentales y evidencia cómo la memoria del sujeto migrante está fragmentada en dos espacios: el andino y el occidental. En tal sentido, se tomarán los aportes no solo de Cornejo Polar, sino también de Ángel Rama para el análisis minucioso de los poemas de Vallejo.
La obra poética de César Vallejo y la crítica de su tiempo (1911-1923)
Authors: Kishimoto Yoshimura Jorge Luis
Published: April 2023

César Vallejo nunca fue un desconocido. Desde que empezó a publicar sus textos generó, inmediatamente, una reacción importante en la crítica literaria de su tiempo. Se puede decir que fue un poeta conocido, tal vez el más exitoso de nuestros poetas. La leyenda hablaría, luego, de una gran indiferencia de la crítica frente a su obra poética, pero definitivamente eso no es tan cierto. Las huellas del poeta durante su permanencia en el Perú indican todo lo contrario, como veremos a continuación.

Cosmovisión andina en «El niño del carrizo», de César Vallejo
Authors: Villafán Broncano Macedonio
Published: April 2023

«El niño del carrizo», de Vallejo, al desarrollar una expedición en busca de carrizo para adornar el anda de una imagen en Semana Santa, hace aflorar comportamientos y pensamientos de neta raíz andina; traza un recorrido desde lo occidental hacia lo andino descubriendo el ser cultural del niño Miguel. Su concepción está ligada a los referentes culturales (que incluyen el paisaje) en que se ha gestado la historia, en este caso de Santiago de Chuco, donde subyace la cultura andina en su versión culli, que Vallejo asimiló y luego procesó sabiamente. Los episodios que protagoniza Miguel con las plantas y sus canes, y en su extasiado acto de beber agua, tienen sustento más consistente en el marco de la cosmovisión andina, como en otras obras de Vallejo. El elemento agua adquiere importancia capital, pues es el medio que conecta al hombre con la naturaleza, con la madre tierra. El enfoque es cultural y una vía metodológica útil fue rastrear la tradición oral santiaguina.
Cultura Infantil y Los heraldos negros (1918): el itinerario pedagógicopoético de César Vallejo
Authors: Carhuaricra Anco Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2023

Entre 1913 y 1917, César Vallejo publicó diez poemas de corte pedagógico en la revista escolar Cultura Infantil, los cuales, al ser comparados con Los heraldos negros (1918), evidencian cómo se presenta el tránsito de una conciencia pedagógica a una conciencia poética en el vate de Santiago de Chuco. En tal sentido, el presente artículo, desde los principios de la genética textual y el horizonte del comparativismo, contrasta «Oscura», «Armada juvenil» y «A mi hermano muerto…», respectivamente con «Los arrieros», y «Terceto autóctono II» y «A mi hermano Miguel». La hipótesis que orienta este estudio es que el contraste entre los poemas de Cultura Infantil y Los heraldos negros irradia la evolución tematológica, morfológica y genérica de la poética vallejiana. Para tal propósito, se precisa la definición de antetexto establecida por Jean Bellemin-Noël; luego se esclarecen los conceptos de tematología, morfología y genología según la óptica comparativista de Claudio Guillén y las ideas de recepción, huella e interferencia a partir de la intertextualidad literaria; posteriormente, se realiza el análisis comparativo e interpretación de los poemas y se reflexiona sobre el itinerario pedagógico-poético recorrido por César Vallejo.
Los heraldos negros: un grito en contra de la barbarie
Authors: Pachas Almeyda Miguel
Published: April 2023

El texto trata de explicar que Los heraldos negros, la primera obra poética de César Vallejo, no solamente fue influenciada por la poesía de los poetas modernistas de la época, sino que tuvo como sustrato fundamental las experiencias que vivió Vallejo en un contexto social, económico y político de trascendencia nacional e internacional.

La aventura estética de Vallejo: la idea de lo bello en el poema «Himno a los voluntarios de la República»
Authors: Prado Romero Gustavo Marcial
Published: April 2023

La lectura que propone César Vallejo, a partir de sus vivencias durante la guerra civil española, intercomunicada con conflictos de gran dimensión y amplias consecuencias, muestra la confluencia de diversas perspectivas fundamentales para la literatura peruana. En este artículo se revisitarán algunos versos del «Himno a los voluntarios de la República», de España, aparta de mí este cáliz, para aproximarse a esa relevancia. La crítica literaria afirma que César Vallejo habría delineado un horizonte de transformación para la literatura del Perú; incluso considera que ha instaurado una nueva estética propia de un nuevo tiempo. Así, como punto de partida, se abordará una noción de literatura en sentido general; luego, se revisará esta innovación del poeta.
«Cuadrúpedo intensivo»: poesía y humanidades en César Vallejo
Authors: Granados Pedro
Published: April 2023

El poema póstumo «¡Cuatro conciencias…», de César Vallejo, sugiere cuatro concepciones distintas y autónomas de las humanidades, en cuanto libros o canon occidental, pueblos o culturas, narrativas o prosopopeya y poshumanismo o posantropocentrismo. En este artículo revisaremos cada una de aquellas nociones y demostraremos que juntas permiten al sujeto poético vallejiano alcanzar en su poesía su/nuestro elocuente «cuadrúpedo intensivo»; vale decir, al «cuadrúpedo» posado a plenitud sobre el total de sus extremidades. A través de esta compleja, oscilante y productiva conjunción, sabremos inmunizarnos, junto con Vallejo, contra toda melancolía identitaria esencialista (nacionalista, territorial, étnica o incluso lingüística) y toda propuesta identitaria globalizada u homogeneizadora.
De profundis: una lectura teológico-estética del poema «Los heraldos negros»
Authors: Báez Rivera Emilio Ricardo
Published: April 2023

César Vallejo le otorga al poema «Los heraldos negros» el sentido de epígrafe del libro homónimo con el fin de encapsular el tono dominante de una voz lírica sometida, principalmente, por la insuficiencia del lenguaje en ese poemario iniciático e inicial. El yo lírico se desenvuelve a través de herramientas literarias simples, como el símil, y otras más complejas, como la metáfora; asimismo, esta voz lírica vallejiana se presenta como una fuerza igualadora que no pretende eximirse, según la teología cristiana, del sufrimiento garantizado por el orden natural.
César Vallejo solidario: Metonymy, secular transubstantiation, and socialist utopia
Authors: Brakspear Owen Fortunato
Published: April 2023

Este artículo explora dos características gramaticales, metonimia y metáfora, en relación con dos temas centrales: la melancolía de la muerte y la solidaridad entre los hombres, y cómo estos aparecen y funcionan juntos en la poesía de César Vallejo. Propongo que en la poética de Vallejo existe una cooperación entre metáfora y metonimia, en el sentido de que la conexión metonimical entre los elementos lingüísticos funciona en esta poesía como un sistema que metaforiza el mundo en todas sus conexiones en movimiento. Este artículo sugiere que estos sistemas de interconexión e interdependencia —lingüístico y físico— son muy similares al sistema científico-filosófico (es decir, epicureano) del De Rerum Natura, de Lucrecio. Esta comparación —concluyo— es importante para una comprensión renovada de la cosmovisión política y secular de la solidaridad, como aparece en la obra de Vallejo.
Cold Spray of Agglomerated Submicronic Hydroxyapatite Powders for Biomedical Applications
Authors: Moreau D. , Corté L. , Borit F. , Guipont V.
Published: April 2023

In this work, two agglomerated hydroxyapatite (HA) powders, with and without heat treatment, were cold sprayed using various spraying parameters on metallic (Ti-6Al-4V) and polymeric (PVA) substrates. The structure of the agglomerated powders and corresponding features of the coatings were examined. For both types of substrates, it was shown that submicron HA powders produce homogenous layers with submicron HA grains. In the case of non-heat treated particles, thick layers could be obtained due to the binding action of residual by-products. HA layers were also found to be adherent after immersion in water, which could potentially lead to the fabrication of ceramic coated hydrogels.
Investigation of Influencing Factors on the Transfer of Wire Arc Sprayed Zn Coatings for the Metallisation of Plastic Parts

Published: April 2023

A new process called in-mold metal spraying (IMMS) shows good potential for producing metallized plastic parts quickly and inexpensively. A zinc layer is deposited on mold cavity inserts using wire arc spraying and subsequently transferred to a plastic carrier via injection molding. Finely adjusted bonding strength between the carrier body and coating is essential for successful coating transfer. To that end, this study evaluates the influence of carrier body surface pretreatments on the transferability and bonding strength of zinc coating. Carrier bodies made of different types of steel pretreated by glass bead blasting and EDM were tested and their surface topography examined. In the initial experiments, the hardness and surface topography of carrier bodies were identified as factors that can influence coating transferability. Further experiments focusing on the adhesion strength of zinc on hardened and annealed carrier bodies were conducted to verify the influence of hardness on bonding strength.

This study investigates the effect of different gas compositions on the size, velocity, and temperature of particles in a wire arc gas jet. In the experiments, two wire materials (316L and G3Si1) were sprayed via compressed air, nitrogen, and a nitrogen-hydrogen mixture and high-speed shadow imaging was used to record in-flight particle characteristics. Deposition efficiency was also measured along with the hardness and oxide content of the coatings. The spraying process, equipment, and test methods employed in the study are described and the results are presented and discussed.
