Musings on Saint Anselm’s Dilemma
Authors: Castro Manzano J.-Martín
Published: December 2023

In this contribution we suggest two simple contentions: i) that Saint Anselm’s ontological argument, as presented in the Proslogion, only makes sense if embedded in an ordered and bounded ontology; and ii) that an interpretation of the main premise of the argument, within such ontology, produces a dilemma that demands a new revision of the argument.
El poder dinámico y causal del ente finito en la filosofía primera de santo Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Gomila Guillermo L.
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo indaga sobre el poder dinámico y causal del ente finito. Busca fundamentar el accionar del mismo desde su estructura metafísica dando así razón de su causalidad. En este sentido el estudio se desarrolla en el ámbito de lo que santo Tomas de Aquino ha llamado filosofía primera que es, dentro de la disciplina sapiencial, la perspectiva que investiga sobre las diversas especies de causas, como aquellas que dan mayor certeza al conocimiento, y esto con principal acento en la causalidad eficiente y final. El matiz mencionado tiene su fundamento en el ente como sujeto-objeto de la metafísica y lleva en sí la proyección a la teología filosófica como aquella parte de la sabiduría que se dedica a estudiar la causa primera de todo lo real.
THE SELECTIVE IMMIGRATION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN THE LABOUR MARKET FOR THE NON-EU NATIONALS
Authors: AKSOY ÖZCAN Berna
Published: December 2023

Migration is an indispensable option for people to sustain their life cycle and improve their quality of life. In the 20th century and beyond, we have seen immigration policies among the common policies of the European Union, mainly due to the rise in immigration and the need for workers. The EU's Common Immigration Policy is a set of social and economic policies in which a balanced approach is adopted and measures are taken to promote orderly and irregular migration practices are applied. The paper will highlight the EU's aim for a qualified immigration policy. The study's research question is to question why the EU is setting up an immigration policy that balances economic prosperity with the labour market. The study examined the situation of EU and non-EU migrant workers in terms of EU selective immigration policy, wage inequalities, social integration problems and discrimination in the labour market. The study is covered in three sections. In section one, international migration and labour migration are studied in a theoretical framework. The second section examines the EU's selective immigration policy and its impact on the labour market. The third section focuses on the integration problems faced by immigrants from EU and non-EU countries in the labour market.

Fictional adaptations, intermediialities and Media Ecology: possibilities, tactics and themes that border youth digital culture
Authors: Silva Ângela Noleto da , Versuti Andrea Cristina , Rodrigues Valtemir dos Santos
Published: December 2023

The article displays results from doctoral research, defended in 2022, whose purpose was to investigate which multi-referential elements made up the fictional adaptations created by young people on the Wattpad platform and whether they have characteristics close to multimodality/multiliteracy practices in writing the textual body, experiences of transmediation of content and connectivism as a learning process. We opted for Qualitative Research, taking Netnographic (Dawson, 2019; Hine, 2016; 2000) as an approach for immersion in the empirical field and Media Ecology as an epistemological current, therefore, a method of understanding the investigated object. As a result, it was possible to verify how communication spaces, such as online literature repositories, are being used as communication media and configuring themselves in network collaboration environments in the field of cyberculture in the production, access to reading and dissemination of literary genres consumed by young people online.
The new control of conventionality in Brazil: the transition from dualist to monist internalization of human rights
Authors: Lima Neto Alexandre Moura , Braga Victor Lucas Queiroz , Santana Guilherme Saldanha , Lima de Aguiar Alessandra Anchieta Moreira , Santos Diogo de Almeida Viana dos
Published: December 2023

The article aims to study the theoretical and pragmatic foundations, of a historical, legal, and political nature, that give rise to CNMP Recommendation No. 96, of February 28, 2023 and the direct enforcement of international human rights treaties by means of control of conventionality in Brazil. This recommendation sets a somewhat innovative precedent by the National Council of the Public Ministry, since the control of conventionality is no longer carried out by the Judiciary alone. The hypothesis of this work is that this attitude of the Public Ministry puts it in a position of protagonism and vanguard in the introduction of conventionality control in Brazil and transformation of the Brazilian dualist system. Therefore, this research proceeds to make analytical comments on the main and most innovative aspects of the recommendation, as well as the consolidation of monist procedures for the enforcement of International Human Rights Law in Brazil.

Authors: Assunção João Lucas Araujo , Amorim Thamires Cristina Siqueira Bitencourt de , Von Glehn Flávia Martins da Silva
Published: December 2023

Human aging is a multifactorial process that can be influenced by several factors, including the cardiovascular system and mental health. This study aimed to examine the extent and gaps in Brazilian scientific knowledge related to the elderly population, covering aspects of mental health and cardiology. A scoping review was carried out following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews guide. 19 studies were included in the review. The results were summarized by creating a table with the extracted data. the relationship between cardiovascular conditions and mental health in the elderly, especially vascular-metabolic diseases, addressing aspects such as depression, stress and neurocognitive and functional changes. It is concluded that research into the mental health of elderly people in cardiology prioritizes topics such as systemic arterial hypertension and cardiovascular prevention, considering risk factors. However, there is a gap in knowledge about the mental health of elderly people at cardiovascular risk in rural areas, and the absence of studies on elderly care and the influence of male subjectivities on cardiac health.

The Global Financial Crisis During the Years 2008 and 2009
Authors: Needham Charles , Needham Maria
Published: December 2023

During a global financial crisis, the exchange rate reacts to economic conditions in a volatile manner. During the financial crisis between 2008 and 2009, the exchange rate incurred losses of individual countries' overall currency value. The losses occurred because of the lack of confidence in investors. The losses affected the banking and financial institutions, collapsing the housing market. The purpose was to explore existing research on the great financial crisis that affected the world and compare countries with the largest economic influences in the world. The study is grounded in the fact that this crisis disrupted the banking system worldwide, causing several major financial institutions, such as commercial banks, mortgage firms, insurance agencies, and credit unions, to fail. In addition to the financial industry, many large and small businesses failed to survive during the Great Financial Crises. The data came from sources such as scholarly literature from sources related to the causes and effects of the financial crises. The literature reflected behavior patterns and purposes that disrupted the global economy used by various countries. This research reflected that government leaders respond proactively and collaborate and share ideas, information, and resources to prevent a financial crisis of this magnitude from happening again. Bank managers must provide records publicly and promptly. As the United States, China, and Japan represent the largest economies, the U.S. governmental leaders must align with Japan to encourage China to support a global collaboration between the other global leaders to ensure sterner banking regulations. Consequently, this study could lead to a more stable global economy to prevent a future disaster of this magnitude.
A Case Example of Integrating Team-Based and Problem-Based Learning in Sex Therapy Courses in the U.S. and Austria
Authors: Hertlein Katherine , Suresh Varsha , Brown Taylor , Davis Edmond , Hechter Sarah
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Team-based learning and Problem-Based Learning can be integrated for in person and online psychology or behavioral health related courses in higher education.
Statement of the Problem: Historically, team-based learning and problem-based learning have been considered separate (and seemingly competing) activities and not often conducted concurrently during a course.
Literature Review: A review of the literature on team-based learning, however, has uncovered some cases where team-based learning and problem-based learning were integrated together in a course.
Teaching Implications: The purpose of this article is to present a case example in which team-based learning and problem-based learning were integrated together in two master’s level sex therapy courses: one in the U.S. and one in Austria. The article describes how this integration was achieved through outlining the activities of the class and the possible benefits seen based on self-report.
Conclusion: Integrating team-based learning and problem-based learning was an effective method for teaching two master’s level sex therapy courses and may have relevant application to psychology classes and/or treatment-oriented topics in behavioral health.
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio as an Indicator of Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Nairn Leah , Sivaratnam Surabhi , Bali Kamal , Wood Thomas J.
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a serious complication posing notable clinical implications for patients and substantial economic burdens. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an emerging biomarker of inflammation, which may better predict PJI. The objective of this review was to evaluate NLR changes in patients with confirmed PJI, to compare NLR between an aseptic revision and a revision for PJI, and to establish whether an NLR of 2.45 is an appropriate cutoff for predicting infection.

Methods:

A retrospective review of patients who underwent revision TJA for PJI at a single center between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2018, was performed and compared with an aseptic cohort who underwent aseptic revision TJA. NLR was calculated from complete blood counts performed at index surgery and at the time of revision surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed, along with sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios.

Results:

There were 89 patients included in each cohort. Mean NLR in patients who underwent revision for PJI was 2.85 (± 1.27) at the time of index surgery and 6.89 (± 6.64) at the time of revision surgery (P = 0.017). Mean NLR in patients undergoing revision for PJI (6.89) was significantly higher than aseptic revisions (3.17; P < 0.001).

Discussion:

In patients who underwent revision surgery for PJI, NLR was markedly elevated at time of revision compared with the time of index surgery. Because it is a cost-effective and readily available test, these findings suggest that NLR may be a useful triage test in the diagnosis of PJI.

Level of evidence:

Level III Diagnostic Study.
Thirty-Day Outcomes After Acute Total Hip Arthroplasty Combined With Internal Fixation of Acetabular Fractures: A Multi-Institutional Database Analysis
Authors: Denyer Steven , Hoyt Aaron K. , Eikani Carlo , Cohen Joseph , Brown Nicholas M.
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

The purposes of this study were to characterize the 30-day surgical risk of patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and total hip arthroplasty stratified by an acetabular fracture pattern and to compare postoperative complications with ORIF alone using a large database.

Methods:

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to determine 30-day outcomes after the combined hip procedure (CHP) compared with ORIF alone between 2005 and 2020. Current Procedural Terminology codes categorized fracture patterns. Univariate analysis was performed using the chi-square, Fisher exact, or Wilcoxon rank sum test. Logistic regression models were fitted to evaluate for any differences in postoperative complications. Total hospital length of stay was compared.

Results:

A total of 1,187 patients were identified. One hundred eighty-four patients underwent a CHP, consisting of 99 acetabular wall fractures, 45 elementary acetabular fractures, and 40 associated acetabular fractures. There was no notable difference in any surgical site infection, thromboembolic events, transfusion rates, 30-day revision surgery, and readmission, regardless of the fracture pattern when controlling for comorbidities. Total hospital length of stay was shorter for patients who underwent a CHP for acetabular wall fractures or elementary acetabular fractures (P < 0.001)

Conclusion:

This combined surgical approach appears to have a similar 30-day risk profile when compared with ORIF alone regardless of the fracture pattern.
An unfinished task?
Authors: Aloisi Uccio , Rainone Silvia , Countouris Nicola ,   International Labour Organization. Bureau for Workers' Activities,
Published: December 2023

Besides straining international, regional and national employment status classification models, digital labour platforms are pioneering new strategies and approaches in terms of algorithmic management, digital surveillance, remote work and cross-border outsourcing, which are increasingly being adopted in more conventional sectors of the economy. Developments in the platform economy are thus crucial in providing a stress test for the resilience of existing labour standards, as well as providing useful input in terms of the reforms needed to ensure their suitability, the collective interest representation and mobilization aspects comprehended by rapidly changing labour markets. This paper seeks to explore the key emerging regulatory dimensions of platform work. It contextualizes the challenges associated with platform work as an expression of the consolidated features that, in the past decades, have been transforming the labour market: non-standardization and the deregulation of employment relationships. Following that, it considers the definition of the personal scope of application as a key challenge faced by essentially all attempts to regulate platform work. It does so primarily by exploring the functions and operations of a legal device known as “presumption of employment”, currently being considered by the proposed EU directive on platform work as a key tool to address the complex employment status classification questions that have surrounded the “gig economy” since its emergence. The paper then provides a conceptual cartography of the various EU regulatory instruments (both existing ones and those currently in the legislative pipeline) that will, jointly, define the legal mosaic of labour rights applicable to the heterogeneous phenomenon of platform work in the years to come.
Viscous Ricci Dark Energy Cosmological Models In Brans-Dicke Theory
Authors: Vijaya Santhi M. , Chinnappalanaidu T. , Srivani Madhu S.
Published: December 2023

The whole article deals with the analysis of the cosmic model of Ruban's space-time in the context of a bulk viscosity impact in the form of Ricci dark energy within the framework Brans- Dicke theory. We believe that outer space is filled with dark matter and viscous Ricci dark energy (VRDE) under the pressureless situation. The velocity and rate at which the Universe is expanding are presumed to be proportional to the coefficient of total bulk viscosity, is in the form, a / a a / a 0 1 2 , where 0 , 1 and 2 are the constants. To solve the RDE model's field equations, we utilize the relation among the metric potentials and also the power-law relation among the average scale factor a(t) and scalar field . Статья посвящена анализу космической модели пространства времени Рубана в контексте воздействия объемной вязкости в форме темной энергии Риччи в рамках теории Бранса-Дикке. Мы считаем, что внешний космос заполнен темной материей и вязкой темной энергией Риччи (VRDE) в условиях отсутствия давления. Предполагается, что скорость и расширения Вселенной пропорциональны коэффициенту общей объемной вязкости.

Emotionality in domestic water use in the global south: Who cares who is deprived of?
Authors: Loodin Najibullah
Published: December 2023

While access to safe and reliable water for domestic purposes is the basic need of human beings, inequality in access to reliable water is a major challenge in Global South (GS). Drawing on sociology of emotion, this article aims to explore the struggles of low-income communities in water acquisition in Global South, focusing on a case study of New Delhi. Although a large body of literature has analyzed the emotional distress of local communities in access to drinking water in GS, the discourse of ‘why and who’ triggers such emotional distress in contemporary cities has largely remained unappreciated. It was argued that influential elites and high-income residents, who wield significant influence in decision-making processes concerning water supply system in major cities including New Delhi, contribute to the marginalization and exclusion of underprivileged communities, thereby fueling the emotional distress of the disenfranchised communities.
Learning in healthcare virtual communities of practice; let’s rethink how we connect and grow
Authors: Symon Ben , Walker Katie
Published: December 2023

Being both a healthcare worker and a healthcare educator can sometimes be a lonely endeavour and opportunities to improve our craft may not be accessible. Medical education courses and conferences abound, often at high price points and in locations a long way from home. Healthcare virtual communities of practice (HvCoP) offer readily accessible information, connection and community, and opportunities for growth on our most ubiquitous accessory – our phone. How can we as a thoughtful, concerned, healthcare community improve accessibility and provide sustainability for our friends and colleagues to the latest literature, most recent practices, evidence-informed materials and provide a truly supportive and evolving environment where we all feel safe to share and connect? This essay started as a first-person reflection of one clinician’s journey (BS), including the highlights, and challenges in developing and sustaining HvCoPs and was then guided and edited by the second author (KW’s) reflections, who has co-facilitated several HvCoPs abroad. Within this essay, BS’ original, personal reflections are signalled in italics, whereas standard text indicates the joint reflections of both authors.
Scabies in a Preterm Infant Younger than 2 Months: What Do We Have?
Authors: Aguilar Victor , Giacaman Aniza , Maroto Cristina , Martín Ana
Published: December 2023

Objective – To present a case of scabies in a preterm neonate treated with an off-label treatment (oral ivermectin) without any adverse effects.Case Report – A preterm female neonate (29+3 weeks of gestation) was diagnosed with scabies at 35 days of life (34+3 weeks of corrected gestational age), after her parents had been diagnosed, having been admitted at birth to the neonatal unit of a tertiary hospital. Treatment was initiated with topical off-label permethrin 5%, with the informed consent of the parents. Concomitantly with the patient, the parents received treatment with permethrin 5% and oral ivermectin on days 0, 7, 14 and 21 after diagnosis. No adverse effects resulting from the use of these treatments were reported. On physical examination, active lesions due to scabies were still observed two weeks after permethrin treatment, so it was decided to re-administer the treatment with topical 5% permethrin on days 0 and 14, associated with oral Ivermectin at 200μg/kg on days 0 and 7. The treatment was administered to the patient and her entire family. Fourteen days after completion of ivermectin treatment, the patient presented with complete resolution. Conclusion – After our experience with this case, and given the increasing prevalence of scabies in our environment, we propose that ivermectin is a useful alternative in the treatment of scabies in this age group; however, larger series of patients are needed to establish a recommendation in this regard, evaluating its risks and benefits.
RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL DOS CIRURGIÕES PLÁSTICOS EM PROCEDIMENTOS ESTÉTICOS EMBELEZADORES
Authors: Guaitolini Henrique , Lampier Junior Alfredo
Published: December 2023

Acerca da temática da responsabilidade civil médica, pretende-se abordar em específico a responsabilidade que toca aos cirurgiões plásticos que desenvolvem procedimentos estritamente estéticos, vez que tal questão ainda causa dúvidas entre os operadores do direito, bem como gera divergência de opiniões. Nessa senda, objetiva-se criar um caminho histórico e conceitual até que preparado o leitor, introduza-se o tema principal deste que versa sobre a aplicação da reponsabilidade civil do médico como sendo subjetiva com culpa presumida ou objetiva, e suas respectivas consequências e implicações. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico e jurisprudencial, por meio de revisão integrativa, que visa estudar a opinião da melhor doutrina, bem como o posicionamento dos tribunais superiores, além de analisar como o ordenamento pátrio se posiciona diante dessa questão. Ademais, a doutrina majoritária, bem como os tribunais, se posiciona que a obrigação do cirurgião plástico em procedimentos estéticos possui natureza de resultado, podendo possuir, como dito acima, responsabilidade civil objetiva ou subjetiva com presunção de culpa. Em suma, diante dos estudos empregados, verifica-se que a responsabilidade supracitada não pode ser objetiva, tal questão decorre da falta de previsão legal e/ou aplicação de atividade de risco, além do Código Civil de 2002 e o Código de Defesa Consumidor demonstrarem de forma clara a aplicação da responsabilidade subjetiva, levando-se em consideração que há doutrinadores que confundem os conceitos e suas respectivas aplicabilidades, bem como tribunais que divergem na aplicação da tipicidade da responsabilidade, podendo vir gerar dificuldades intransponíveis para os médicos envoltos em tais lides.

Neste interim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo compreender o impacto dos sistemas de informações contábeis nos escritórios de contabilidades, considerando a agilidade do processo e confiabilidade das informações. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática de literatura, de abordagens qualitativa e natureza descritiva. O levantamento de publicações foi realizado nos acervos digitais Google Acadêmico, BTDT (Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações) e Portal de Periódicos CAPES, com recorte temporal dos últimos 10 anos. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, chegou-se a um total de 8 publicações para leitura e revisão. A pesquisa mostrou que os SICs trazem diversos benefícios para os escritórios de contabilidade, como a automação de tarefas diárias, integração de dados, criação de relatórios e outros processos que afetam diretamente os serviços prestados pelas organizações do ramo. Esses impactos podem ser resumidos em cinco pontos principais: aumento da produtividade, redução de custos operacionais, melhorias na qualidade das informações, segurança e organização dos dados, e uma mudança no papel do contador. Todos esses impactos possibilitam que os escritórios de contabilidade atuem também como consultores, trabalhando na criação de estratégias que possam contribuir para a evolução do negócio de seus clientes.

Authors: Smyth Clara , Bates Shona
Published: December 2023

This scoping study is the first component of a larger ANZSOG-sponsored research project examining co-governance practices and especially trust between governments and communities. Its purpose is to identify methods to operationalise and implement co-governance, and expectations of co-governance outcomes. This report presents the findings of the scoping study and identifies general principles that can be applied to different contexts, and includes illustrative examples of co-governance in specific jurisdictions and policy areas. The project is being undertaken by the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC), UNSW Sydney, funded by ANZSOG and key NSW Government Agencies (the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, as well as Customer Service, Regional NSW, and the NSW Public Service Commission).
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANK (WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MUDRA YOJANA)
Authors:   Department of Commerce & Business Administration  University of Allahabad, Shyam Dr Keshav
Published: December 2023

Government of India (GoI) launches various financing schemes for promoting Medium and Small Enterprises (MSMEs). One such scheme is MUDRA Yojana and loan under this Yojana is called MUDRA loan. This Yojana is performing well as amount of loan sanctioned in it rising year by year. But the matter of concern is along with it the NPA of bank relating to this scheme is continuously rising. The NPA of public sector bank is more in comparison of private sector bank in context to this Yojana. So, in this paper a comparative study of public and private sector banks on different parameters such as credit appraisal, monitoring and credit risk management in respect of MUDRA Yojana has been done. It is an analytical research based on primary data. In order to find out significance level factor analysis has been applied. The result of study shows that there is no considerable difference between above stated parameters among the sampled sectors bank. Keywords: MUDRA Yojana, credit appraisal, monitoring and credit risk management. Introduction Banks are financial institution which deals with mainly two functions first accepting deposit and secondly lending money i.e. granting loan. The function of granting loan is most crucial function of banks as it involves risk. Risk of nonpayment of loan called as credit risk and managing this risk is called credit risk management. Banks grant loans for various purposes either on individual demand or under government schemes. On individual demand bank faces less credit risk as they can deny granting of loan if they found that loan is uncovered by guarantee or if bank’s grant loans then on its own favorable term and condition but in case of government sanctioned schemes banks are bound to issue loan on the features or conditions government has launched. The features or conditions of government schemes are public favorable rather than banks favorable. One such government scheme is MUDRA Yojana launched in April 8, 2015 with the purpose of financing micro small and medium enterprises so that income as well as employment can be generated. In this Yojana MUDRA loan is given under 3 categories
Biophilic Design and its Influence on Stress Reduction in High-Density Living Environment
Authors: Namwad Sangam , Badrike Nikhil V , Shinde Mrunal
Published: December 2023

This research investigates the impact of biophilic design on stress reduction in high-density living environments. As urbanization intensifies, the challenges of stress in densely populated areas become increasingly pronounced. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining case studies and surveys to explore the relationship between biophilic design elements—such as natural light, greenery, and water features— and stress levels in high-density urban settings. Drawing on existing literature in environmental psychology, the research establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the potential of biophilic design to alleviate stress. Through in-depth analysis of real-world case studies, this paper aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of biophilic interventions and their implications for architects, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to create healthier and more sustainable high-density living environments. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the intersection of design, well-being, and urban living. Keywords: Biophilic design, sustainability, stress, architecture.
Shackleton and Bruce: disentangling Antarctic geological collections at National Museums Scotland
Authors: Stone Philip , Walcott Rachel , Aspen Peder
Published: December 2023

Amongst the Antarctic geological specimens held by National Museums Scotland are those from collections made during early 20th Century expeditions led by William Speirs Bruce and Ernest Shackleton. Historical circumstances and ambiguous labelling led to the Shack- leton material, from his 1907–1909 Nimrod expedition, being incorporated into the Bruce collection and incorrectly assigned to the latter’s 1902–1904 Scotia expedition. The recent identification of the Shackleton specimens, examination of their surviving labels and a re- view of the relevant Polar literature has now allowed the confusion to be resolved and ex- plained. The Shackleton collection proves to comprise ten basaltic rock specimens from Ross Island, from the vicinity of the active Mt Erebus volcano, and two granitic rock specimens from mountains further inland at the western margin of the Ross Sea. The geologists likely to have been involved in the collecting were Tannatt William Edgeworth David, Douglas Mawson and Raymond Edward Priestley. Two additional specimens can be assigned to a subsequent Australian expedition led by Mawson in 1911–1913.

Computational Structural Analysis and Homology Modelling of Beta-Xylanase from Bifidobacterium pullorum: A Comprehensive In-Silico Investigation
Authors: Baseer Abdul Qadeer , Mushfiq Shafiqullah , Monib Abdul Wahid , Hassand Mohammad Hassan , Niazi Parwiz
Published: December 2023

Bifidobacterium pullorum, commonly found in chicken waste and preferring mesophilic characteristics, contains an enzyme known as Beta-Xylanase. This enzyme effectively breaks down xylan, offering potential for creating biogas, like methane, and biofuels, such as ethanol. Scientists are actively exploring sustainable energy sources, while industries aim for cost-effective methods to decrease operational expenses. The conventional methods for producing biogas and biofuels involve high-temperature processes using fuel combustion, leading to significant expenses. To address this, mesophilic bacteria present a promising alternative for more cost-efficient biofuel production. This study is the first to delve into the genomic and three-dimensional structure of beta-xylanase, crucial for breaking down xylan. Our findings highlight that the beta-xylanase in Bifidobacterium pullorum showcases a TIM-barrel structure, similar to other GH10 xylanases essential in carbohydrate breakdown. This indicates a potential connection between Bifidobacterium pullorum's beta-xylanase and the improvement of biogas production.

El artículo examina la construcción histórica de la Orden del Carmen. Se analizan sus propias fuentes desde el siglo XIII hasta el siglo XVIII y se fijan los diversos puntos de inflexión en la Orden para dar sentido al porqué de las primeras leyendas, al éxito que tuvieron y al descrédito de los relatos en los siglos venideros. La exposición abarca un ámbito geográfico europeo, priorizando el marco hispano, y sigue un estricto orden cronológico para dar respuesta a las necesidades de cada creación, al carácter que de ellas se desprende y cómo y por qué forjó el particular carisma de dicha Orden en comunión con la cultura europea de cada periodo.
La repressió de la bruixeria als Pirineus centrals. L’Alt Urgell, 1613-1629
Authors: Xam-mar Alonso Carmen
Published: December 2023

Aquesta recerca proposa un recorregut analític en quatre apartats per l’estudi de la bruixeria a l’Alt Urgell entre 1613 i 1629. Primer, dibuixa el perfil de la bruixa en el seu context familiar i social més enllà de l’estereotip de gènere. Segon, defineix els mecanismes socials i culturals col·lectius de creació i consolidació de la fama de bruixa d’una veïna. Tercer, analitza les capacitats malignes de fer emmalaltir atribuïdes a la bruixa i els recursos de la comunitat per a contrarestar-les. I, ja per acabar, reconstrueix la praxi judicial i les experiències culturals i subjectives de les acusades davant la justícia.
