La tradición cosmopolita y su vigencia en tiempos de globalización
Authors: de Julios-Campuzano Alfonso
Published: February 2024

En nuestros días las teorías cosmopolitas han experimentado una revitalización significativa al albur de la intensificación de las relaciones humanas que ha propiciado el fenómeno de la globalización. En las últimas décadas, particularmente desde la caída del Muro de Berlín, se ha registrado un florecimiento de las tesis cosmopolitas que aspiran a ofrecer un modelo teórico desde el que comprender y transformar la realidad en esta era de apertura y de creciente interdependencia que inaugura la globalización. En este trabajo realizamos una aproximación histórica y conceptual al cosmopolitismo, abundando en las causas de su actual auge y, tras analizar los elementos que conforman el fenómeno de la globalización, que determina un tránsito desde la primera a la segunda modernidad, se formula una propuesta humanista e ilustrada de un cosmopolitismo gradual, una concepción realista cosmopolita que permita trascender la estatalidad mediante la implementación de formas de gobernanza multinivel.
La difícil convivencia entre la vigencia del proyecto cosmopolita y la cuestión identitaria. A propósito del populismo punitivo (feminista y migratorio)
Authors: Belloso Martín Nuria
Published: February 2024

La influencia perniciosa que el populismo tiene sobre numerosas construcciones, tiene a extenderse también al cosmopolitismo. En el terreno fértil de posmodernidad relativista y de narrativas contrahegemónicas, hay que deshacer dicotomías artificialmente construidas y fácilmente manipulables. En este trabajo se justificará por qué el populismo es una amenaza para la construcción cosmopolita y se reflejarán los aspectos que separan al populismo del proyecto cosmopolita. A partir de uno de los subtipos del populismo, el punitivo, se examinará la problemática que suscita su aplicación a dos de las vertientes del identitarismo como son las cuestiones relativas al género (sexo) y a la idiosincrasia nacional (frente a “los otros”). Se justificará cómo el cosmopolitismo, lejos de negar tales cuestiones identitarias, lo que hace es trabajar con ellas de forma distinta.
El Derecho Internacional contemporáneo y los problemas globales ambientales: hacia una ciudadanía ambiental globa
Authors: César Moreira Alberto
Published: February 2024

Desde la perspectiva de las ciencias jurídicas y, en particular, del derecho internacional ambiental, la presente intervención aborda la emergencia de un Derecho internacional contemporáneo y acude a las ideas del cosmopolitismo blando y la vertiente normativa del constitucionalismo global, como debates filosóficos-jurídicos que podrían cimentar un terreno fértil, un sustrato material, para incidir en las fuentes formales de creación de normas internacionales para enfrentar los problemas globales ambientales. En ese sentido, hace mención a la emergencia y reconocimiento del derecho humano al ambiente sano y saludable como un derecho humano autónomo y exigible, desde su vertiente sustantiva y procesal, y a recientes desarrollos de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, que pueden vislumbrase como el embrión de una ciudadanía global ambiental
Percepciones sobre discursos de género y empoderamiento en la publicidad peruana: un estudio con jóvenes universitarias
Authors: Minchola Alexandra , Arbaiza Francisco , Robledo-Dioses Kelly
Published: February 2024

Este estudio examina las percepciones de jóvenes universitarias en Perú sobre los discursos de género y empoderamiento femenino presentes en la publicidad. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se exploran las interpretaciones y reacciones de estas jóvenes ante la representación del género en la publicidad, enfocándose en identificar los elementos que influyen en sus percepciones de autenticidad y oportunismo. El análisis revela que, dentro de estas percepciones, emerge el fenómeno del femvertising como una preocupación significativa, donde se cuestiona la sinceridad de las marcas en su compromiso con el empoderamiento femenino. Este hallazgo subraya la complejidad de la relación entre publicidad, género y cultura en el contexto peruano.
Mujeres, estereotipos y representaciones en comunicación. Los roles de género en informativos de prime time de Cuba, Portugal y España
Authors: Ribeiro Vera , López Montoto Laura , Herrera Barreda Dagmar
Published: February 2024

El artículo resume los principales resultados de una investigación que se acerca al rol de la mujer y los estereotipos de género presentes en el panorama comunicativo audiovisual de Cuba, Portugal y España, representados en los espacios informativos de prime time de las cadenas públicas de televisión de estos países. Se realiza un análisis tanto del lugar que desempeña la mujer como profesional de la comunicación y, por tanto, ente emisor de mensajes; como de su representación, desde el estudio de los roles en los que se muestra y los estereotipos manifestados en los discursos transmitidos. Se parte de una investigación bibliográfico-documental que permite la conceptualización de los principales sustentos teóricos que asisten al tema, la definición de categorías y la generación de una guía de análisis que es aplicada a cada emisión. Se toman como muestra de estudio dos emisiones de los informativos Noticiero Nacional de Televisión, Telejornal y Telediario, pertenecientes a las cadenas públicas Televisión Cubana, Radio y Televisión de Portugal y Televisión Española, respectivamente. A partir de la triangulación constante, los hallazgos se van contrastando y complementando con las características propias de cada país y la teoría de partida. Se concluye que, a diferencia de las concepciones iniciales de partida y lo que podría inferirse de estudios previos, en los informativos analizados las mujeres poseen una presencia significativa como comunicadoras y su representación no refleja en un grado elevado los estereotipos y roles tradicionales que generalmente se les atribuyen.
En el ocaso de Ciudadanos: La información de ElPaís.com y ElMundo.es como activo de marketing político para el despegue del partido en España
Authors: Ventura-Salom Borja
Published: February 2024

El descontento social por la crisis económica de 2007 y los casos de corrupción en los años siguientes propiciaron el surgimiento de nuevas formaciones políticas nacionales en España. Una de ellas fue Ciudadanos, que pasó en unos meses de ser extraparlamentaria a cuarta fuerza y clave para formar Gobierno. Ese cambio no se puede explicar sin el papel visibilizador de los medios. Un exhaustivo análisis del contenido informativo político de las dos principales cabeceras digitales españolas, ElPaís.com y ElMundo.es, muestra que durante 2014 y 2015, cuando obtuvo representación nacional, la formación tuvo una gran visibilidad, muy superior a la del partido de referencia en su nicho ideológico, UPyD, y comparable a formaciones con mayor poder. Los datos apuntan a que la atención mediática que tuvo Ciudadanos fue clave para su despegue. Una década después el fenómeno se ha diluido hasta el punto de que la formación decidió no concurrir a las elecciones generales del 23 de julio de 2023.
Decremental State-Space Relaxations for the Basic Traveling Salesman Problem with a Drone
Authors: Blufstein Marcos , Lera-Romero Gonzalo , Soulignac Francisco J.
Published: February 2024

Truck-and-drone routing problems have become an important research topic in the last decade because of their applications for last-mile deliveries. Despite the many publications in this area, the most efficient exact algorithms designed thus far struggle to solve the benchmark instances with 39 or more customers. This fact holds even for one of the simplest variants involving one truck and one drone whose routes must synchronize at customers’ locations: the basic traveling salesman problem with a drone (TSP-D). In this article, we devise a new algorithm for the TSP-D that solves every benchmark instance with up to 59 customers, and it scales up to 99 customers when the drone is much faster than the truck. The core of our method is a dynamic programming algorithm that is applied for column generation and variable fixing within tailored decremental state-space relaxation strategies.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold? The War in Ukraine and the UN Security Council
Authors: Dwan Renata
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: The UN Security Council's divisions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have captured international headlines. There has been less attention on the implications of the war for the Security Council's primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security. This paper examines the ways in which the Security Council has addressed conflict between states as well as civil wars and the continuities reflected in its approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It then explores some of the ways in which the Council's management of conflict-related crises might evolve in light of the Ukraine war and the implications these may have for the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Council, as well as the role of other multilateral organisations. This paper builds on remarks provided at a Royal Irish Academy seminar, 'Ireland on the Security Council', on 23 November 2022.
Homeland Insecurity: Why Anti-Terrorism Laws are Here to Stay
Authors: Gearty Conor
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: In this paper I argue that the self-evident sustainability of the changes wrought by anti-terrorism law since the 11 September 2001 attacks are rooted in our colonial past, a past that is littered with such laws. I further argue that in the post-colonial period those laws were then carried over into the Cold War era, where they were too useful in the struggle against radical dissent ever to be completely jettisoned—even by those newly liberated countries whose leaders had suffered under their coercive power. The paper ends with some brief reflections on how the 'problem' of 'terrorism' became globalised in the post-colonial period. My examination of its origins led me to believe that the 'War on Terror' was easy to entrench because liberal democracies had had decades of practice at it.
Pragmatic Opportunism: Ireland and the Czechoslovak Crisis 1938–39
Authors: Stewart Erik
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Acquisition of the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia was the next phase of Nazi Germany's expansion in 1938. When it seemed likely that the region would indeed be incorporated into Germany's borders, based on a mixed historic and ethno-cultural logic, nations across Europe with unresolved border questions of their own took notice—Ireland among them. This article will examine the extent to which a fervent desire to undo the country's partition influenced Irish foreign policy at a time when international tensions over the Sudetenland were brewing into a potential European conflict. The contradictory nature of Irish foreign policy at the time will be illustrated, and Ireland's navigation of one of interwar Europe's most dynamic crises will in turn be re-assessed.
Can Virtue Grow Out of Vicious Human Nature? Xunzi's Genealogy of Virtue Reconstructed
Authors: Tang Yun
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Xunzi's pessimistic understanding of human nature and his endorsement of the intrinsically valuable virtue of yi 義 put him in a vulnerable position. To defend this position, Xunzi needs to conquer what the essay calls "the compatibility problems," the first of which concerns the compatibility between bad human nature and virtue, while the second is between Xunzi's functional understanding of virtue and his understanding of virtue as possessing intrinsic value. If Xunzi's moral philosophy were to fail to solve these two problems, it would be guilty of inconsistency. In reconstructing a genealogy of Xunzi's philosophy, I argue that he can successfully resolve the two compatibility problems, and his genealogy perspicuously shows that virtue can grow out of vicious human nature.
God the Father; Dao the Mother: Western and Chinese Dualisms
Authors: Lagerwey John
Published: February 2024

Abstract: This essay is composed of three parts, corresponding to three theses: (1) dualism is at once universal and particular (cultural); (2) the opposition between God the Father and Dao the Mother is the most apt rendering of the differences between Western and Chinese dualisms; (3) History may be understood as an ongoing patriarchal rationalization whose contours are determined by the particular "bent" of a given culture. By contrast with the temporal preconceptions of Western thought (Plato's Ideas and the Hebrew God are both "eternal"), China's spatial bias—and both "bents" are at least partly determined by the respective writing systems—led it to conceive the body/soul duality as soul in the body, and so to give religious priority to "body technology" (as opposed to the salvation of souls), to ritual (as opposed to discourse), and to the feminine. Because of Platonic negativity with regard to the body and the feminine, in contrast with male/female complementarity in Judaism, our attempt to understand Chinese culture in terms that are familiar to us must begin with Biblical, and not Platonic, categories—whence comes the necessity of comparing God the Father and Dao the Mother.
Multi-functional terahertz metasurface for a vortex beam, multi-channel focusing, polarization conversion, and broadband absorption based on vanadium dioxide
Authors: Li XiangZhong , Wei Wei , Yang XiuDan
Published: February 2024

Although terahertz metasurface devices have been widely studied, thus far, metasurfaces can rarely manipulate both circularly and linearly polarized incident waves. In this paper, taking advantage of the phase transition characteristics of vanadium dioxide (VO2), a multi-functional terahertz metasurface for a vortex beam, multi-channel focusing, polarization conversion, and broadband absorption is proposed. When VO2 is in the insulating state, a vortex beam is generated at 1.2 THz when the circularly polarized wave is incident on the metasurface. Meanwhile, the multi-channel focusing is realized at 1.0 THz, and the cross-polarization conversion rate can reach more than 90% at the frequencies of 0.6 THz, 1.1 THz, and 1.6 THz when the y-polarized wave is incident vertically. When VO2 is in the metallic state, the metasurface achieves close to 95% absorption in the range of 0.8–1.5 THz. The designed metasurface has tunability and multi-functional characteristics, which have potential applications in wireless communication.
Mental health burden among females living with HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review
Authors: Boakye Dorothy Serwaa , Setordzi Mawuko , Dzansi Gladys , Adjorlolo Samuel
Published: February 2024

Mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety, are common in women and young girls living with HIV/ AIDS particularly in low- and middle-income (LMICs) countries where women’s vulnerability to psychiatric symptoms is heightened due to the prevalent intersectional stressors such as stigma and intimate partner violence. However, no synthesized evidence exists on the mental health burden of females living with HIV/AIDS (FLWHA) in Africa. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the current evidence on the mental health burden among FLWHA in sub-Saharan Africa. A systematic literature review of articles published from 2013–2023 was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA). Five electronic databases; PubMed, MEDLINE with full text, Scopus, Academic Search Complete, and Health Source: Nursing Academic Edition were searched for articles published in English. Nineteen articles (15 quantitative, 3 qualitative, and 1 case study) from over 7 African countries met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the studies’ quality was determined to be moderate. The prevalence of depression ranged from 5.9 to 61% and anxiety from 28.9 to 61%. Mental health burden was a logical outcome of HIV diagnosis. Predictors of mental health outcomes in the context of HIV/AIDS were identified as intimate partner violence (IPV), stigma, childhood traumas, sexual abuse, poverty, unemployment, and social isolation. Social support and resilience were identified as protective factors against mental illness in FLWHA. Mental illness had a deleterious effect on viral suppression rates among FLWHA, resulting in delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy treatment and increased mortality but had no impact on immune reconstitution in the face of ART adherence. Given the high prevalence rates of depression and anxiety and their relationship with HIV progression, it is crucial that mental health care services are integrated into routine HIV care.
Improving maternal and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women who are HIV-positive or HIV-negative through the Saving Mothers Giving Life initiative in Uganda: An analysis of population-based mortality surveillance data

Published: February 2024

HIV infection is associated with poor maternal health outcomes. In 2016, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Uganda was 336/100,000, and the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) was 19/1,000. Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL) was a five-year maternal and neonatal health strengthening initiative launched in 2012 in Uganda. We extracted maternal and neonatal data for 2015–2016 from the initiative’s population-based mortality surveillance system in 123 health facilities in Western Uganda. We collected data on the facilities, HIV status, antiretroviral drug (ARV) use, death, birth weight, delivery type, parity, Apgar scores, and complications. We compared mother and baby outcomes between HIV-positive or HIV-negative, computed risk ratios (RR) for adverse outcomes, and used the chi-square to test for significance in differences observed. Among 116,066 pregnant women who attended and gave birth at SMGL-implementing facilities during 2015–2016, 8,307 (7.7%) were HIV-positive, of whom 7,809 (94%) used antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) at the time of delivery. During birth, 23,993 (21%) women experienced ≥1 complications. Neonate Apgar scores <7 (8.8%) and maternal haemorrhage during birth (1.6%) were the most common outcomes. Overall facility MMR was 258/100,000 and NMR was 7.6/1,000. HIV infection increased risk of maternal death (RR = 3.6, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 2.4–5.5), maternal sepsis (RR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.3–3.3), and infant birth weight <2,500g (RR = 1.2, 95% CI = 1.1–1.3), but was protective against maternal complications (RR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.87–0.97) and perinatal death (RR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.68–0.89). Among the HIV-positive, ARV non-use increased risk of maternal death (RR = 15, 95% CI = 7.1–31) and perinatal death (RR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.6–3.4). SMGL reduced facility MMR and NMR below national rates. HIV-infection was associated with maternal sepsis and death. Failure to use ARVs among women living with HIV increased the risk of maternal and perinatal death. Use of the SMGL approach and complementary interventions that further strengthen HIV care, may continue to reduce MMR and NMR.

Authors: Ribeiro Heriks Gomes , Galdino Ony Araújo , de Souza Karla Simone Costa , Rosa Neta Antonia Pereira , Lin-Wang Hui Tzu , Cunha-Neto Edecio , Rezende Adriana Augusto de , Silbiger Vivian Nogueira
Published: February 2024

Background

Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChCM) is a severe form of Chagas disease and a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The dysregulation of the immune response leads to cardiac remodeling and functional disruptions, resulting in life-threatening complications. Conventional diagnostic methods have limitations, and therapeutic response evaluation is challenging. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), important regulators of gene expression, show potential as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis.

Aim

This review aims to summarize experimental findings on miRNA expression in ChCM and explore the potential of these miRNAs as biomarkers of Chagas disease.

Methods

The search was conducted in the US National Library of Medicine MEDLINE/PubMed public database using the terms “Chagas cardiomyopathy” OR “Chagas disease” AND “microRNA” OR “miRNA” OR “miR.” Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was performed to investigate miRNA-target interactions and explore enrichment pathways of gene ontology biological processes and molecular functions.

Results

The miR-21, miR-146b, miR-146a, and miR-155 consistently exhibited up-regulation, whereas miR-145 was down-regulated in ChCM. These specific miRNAs have been linked to fibrosis, immune response, and inflammatory processes in heart tissue. Moreover, the findings from various studies indicate that these miRNAs have the potential as biomarkers for the disease and could be targeted in therapeutic strategies for ChCM.

Conclusion

In this review, we point out miR-21, miR-146b, miR-146a, miR-155, and miR-145-5p role in the complex mechanisms of ChCM. These miRNAs have been shown as potential biomarkers for precise diagnosis, reliable prognostic evaluation, and effective treatment strategies in the ChCM.
Analysis of influence of filling body with different filling intervals on stope stability
Authors: Ai Chunming , Yu Anju , Zhang Li , Wen Yingbo
Published: February 2024

The stratified backfill will lead to the reduction of the strength of the filling body, thus increasing the safety risks of the stope. By means of experimental research and numerical simulation, the stability of stope is studied. Based on the physical parameters of filling body measured by triaxial compression test, the stability of filling stope is numerically simulated by FLAC 3D software. By comparing the stress distribution and displacement of stope with filling body at different intervals, the filling process parameters of Bianjiadayuan lead-zn-silver mine can be optimized.The experimental results show that: When the filling interval is 12h, the roof stress, filling body pressure stress and roof displacement are small, and the stope stability is better. When it exceeds 12h, the change is large and the stope stability is poor. The interval time in the stratified backfill process of Bianjiadayuan lead-zinc-silver mine should not exceed 12h.The research results have significant reference value for improving the stope stability and selecting a reasonable interval time for stratified backfill.

Published: February 2024

In order to analyze the differences between the master curves of relaxation modulus E(t) and creep compliance J(t) obtained from discrete and continuous spectrum models, and to comprehensively evaluate the effect of basalt fiber content on the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt mixtures, complex modulus tests were conducted for asphalt mixtures with fiber content of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. Consequently, the master curves of Viscoelastic Parameters of asphalt mixtures were constructed according to the generalized Sigmoidal model(GSM) and the approximate Kramers-Kronig (K-K) relationship. Then, transformation of master curves using discrete and continuous spectrum models to obtain the models of E(t) and J(t) containing all viscoelastic information. Also, the accuracy of the models of E(t) and J(t) was evaluated. The results show that the addition of basalt fibers improves the strength, stress relaxation and deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures. It is worth noting that basalt fibers achieve the improvement of asphalt mixtures by changing their internal structure. Considering the different viscoelastic master curves at four dosages, the optimum fiber dosage was 0.2%. In addition, both discrete and continuous model conversion methods can obtain high accuracy conversion results.
Environmental regulation and carbon emission efficiency: Evidence from pollution levy standards adjustment in China
Authors: He Yi , Zhang Xiang , Xie Qinghua
Published: February 2024

China’s economy experienced great growth, which also induces large carbon emission. Facing the target of “Carbon peak, Carbon neutrality” in China, it is vital to improve the carbon emission efficiency. Employing the spatial Difference-in-Differences model, this paper investigates the impact of environmental regulation on carbon emission efficiency with a quasi-natural experiment of Pollution Levy Standards Adjustment in China. Our empirical results show that the environmental regulation can significantly improve the carbon emission efficiency. moreover, two impact channels are explored: green innovation and industrial upgrading. More specifically, the green innovation increases with environmental regulation, and the increased green innovation improves carbon emission efficiency. The industry upgrading increases with environmental regulation, and the increased industry upgrading improves carbon emission efficiency. Finally, in terms of city heterogeneity, we find that the impact of environmental regulation will be more pronounced for larger cities and resource-based cities. Our findings suggest that the environmental regulation must be enhanced for both smaller cities and non-resource-based cities. Moreover, to promote the green innovation of firms, since green innovation is risky and costly, governments should provide more subsidies or grants on corporate green technologies, thus firms will be motivated to invest in green technologies to reduce carbon emission.

Authors: Nguyen Son Hai , Nguyen Van-Nhat , Tran Mai Thi
Published: February 2024

Although sensor technology has advanced with better materials, biomarkers, and fabrication and detection methods, creating a rapid, accurate, and affordable bacterial detection platform is still a major challenge. In this study, we present a combination of hybrid-MoS2 nanosheets and an amine-customized probe to develop a fast, sensitive biosensor for Bacillus subtilis DNA detection. Based on fluorescence measurements, the biosensor exhibits a detection range of 23.6–130 aM, achieves a detection limit of 18.7 aM, and was stable over four weeks. In addition, the high selectivity over Escherichia coli and Vibrio proteolyticus DNAs of the proposed Bacillus subtilis sensors is demonstrated by the fluorescence quenching effect at 558 nm. This research not only presents a powerful tool for B. subtilis DNA detection but also significantly contributes to the advancement of hybrid 2D nanomaterial-based biosensors, offering substantial promise for diverse applications in biomedical research and environmental monitoring.
Atrapadas en el limbo- Imágenes y sonidos a la fuga en el videoarte español
Authors: Maraví Martínez Pablo
Published: February 2024

La conservación de videoarte en España sigue siendo un grave problema y reciente motivo de estudio. A día de hoy, una cantidad importante de obras concebidas en soportes de tipo electromagnético permanece fuera de las políticas de archivo y preservación de las llamadas instituciones de la memoria (universidad, filmotecas, museos, etc.). La naturaleza frágil y efímera de este tipo de soportes, unida a un problema como el de la obsolescencia tecnológica, han puesto en un serio riesgo la supervivencia de estos materiales. Frente al estado de dispersión y abandono de una gran parte de estos trabajos, y ante la desidia demostrada por parte de algunas de estas instituciones a la hora de proceder a su recuperación y revalorización, este texto pretender servir, en último término, para introducir al ámbito académico la iniciativa VideoFlux: una estructura/metodología de trabajo dedicada a la recuperación y conservación del patrimonio videográfico producido en Euskal Herria.
La Comisión de responsabilidades parlamentaria de 1931. La política de reparación del régimen republicano en España
Authors: Sevillano-Calero Francisco
Published: February 2024

Este trabajo trata sobre los problemas de la reparación judicial durante el proceso constituyente del nuevo régimen republicano español en 1931. Esta cuestión se concretó en la creación de una Comisión de responsabilidades parlamentaria a modo de Comisión de la Verdad sobre los sucesos sociopolíticos ocurridos en España a partir de la huelga general revolucionaria de agosto de 1917 y bajo la dictadura de Primo de Rivera desde septiembre de 1923. Así, se argumenta que el nuevo régimen democrático de la Segunda República española buscó afianzar su legitimidad en la construcción de una nueva memoria pública en relación con la reparación del pasado reciente.
El (re)descubrimiento del sujeto y el análisis de las experiencias. Nuevos enfoques transdisciplinares al estudio de la guerra civil y la posguerra
Authors: Box Zira , Rina Simón César
Published: February 2024

El argumento central que desarrolla el presente artículo es que algunos de los principales avances que se han producido en la historiografía focalizada en el estudio de la guerra civil y la dictadura franquista han venido propiciados por el diálogo interdisciplinar mantenido con las vecinas ciencias sociales. En concreto, el interés recae en lo que parece estar siendo un (re)descubrimiento del sujeto y una atención renovada por las experiencias y la agencia de los individuos dentro de los análisis del periodo de guerra y franquismo. En consecuencia, el artículo propone la hipótesis de que es, precisamente, en este interés por los sujetos donde puede seguir produciéndose un fructífero diálogo entre disciplinas, ilustrándolo con algunos ejemplos destacados de perspectivas y giros recientes que, desde terrenos interdisciplinares y a partir de los sujetos, están proponiendo nuevas formas de comprender la guerra y la dictadura.
La guerra que siguió. Prosopografías de la continuidad en los servicios de inteligencia y las agencias de control franquistas
Authors: Pérez-Olivares Alejandro , Píriz Carlos
Published: February 2024

Este artículo analiza la continuidad de la guerra civil española más allá del último parte oficial de guerra. Lo hace desde la adaptación y la actualización de las agencias de control franquista, especialmente de sus servicios de inteligencia y de recuperación de documentos. Mediante el uso de la prosopografía, este estudio dialoga con la historiografía del denominado “giro victimario” a través de la identificación de trayectorias tanto individuales como institucionales. Las páginas que siguen se centran, especialmente, en dos estudios de caso: el Servicio de Información y Policía Militar (SIPM) y la Delegación del Estado para la Recuperación de Documentos (DERD). Ambas agencias permiten comprender la estrecha vinculación entre los últimos compases del conflicto y la consolidación del heterogéneo aparato institucional de la dictadura franquista. Se plantea, así, la estrecha relación entre la circulación de la información, la producción documental y la defensa del orden público

This study is aligned with the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030, which seeks to achieve sustainable economic development. This study aims to estimate the size of the interrelationships among the economic sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from the period 1970 to 1920. The descriptive-analytical and econometric approaches were used to display the concepts and literature review relevant to the study as well as to analyze the interrelationships between the sectors of the national economy, which are represented in: the added value of (the manufacturing sector, the non-manufacturing industries sector, the service sector, and the agricultural sector) using Vector Auto- Regression model (VAR) and Impulse Response Functions. The results showed the weakness and limitations of the interrelationships among the economic sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in addition to the absence of leading sectors with a strong impact on the rest of the other economic sectors and are influenced by them as well. Accordingly, the study recommends the need to continue and intensify the diversification efforts made by the government to get out of the scope of a rentier economy, and to strengthen the interrelationships among the various economic sectors by applying appropriate reform models that are integrated with economic policies in a way that achieves the requirements of sustainable economic development.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Precise knowledge regarding the mechanical stress applied to the intervertebral disc following each individual spine motion enables physicians and patients to understand how people with discogenic back pain should be guided in their exercises and which spine motions to specifically avoid. We created an intervertebral disc degeneration model and conducted a finite element (FE) analysis of loaded stresses following each spinal posture or motion.Methods: A 3-dimensional FE model of intervertebral disc degeneration at L4–5 was constructed. The intervertebral disc degeneration model was created according to the modified Dallas discogram scale. The von Mises stress and range of motion (ROM) regarding the intervertebral discs and the endplates were analyzed.Results: We observed that mechanical stresses loaded onto the intervertebral discs were similar during flexion, extension, and lateral bending, which were greater than those occurring during torsion. Based on the comparison among the grades divided by the modified Dallas discogram scale, the mechanical stress during extension was greater in grades 3–5 than it was during the others. During extension, the mechanical stress loaded onto the intervertebral disc and endplate was greatest in the posterior portion. Mechanical stresses loaded onto the intervertebral disc were greater in grades 3–5 compared to those in grades 0–2.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that it might be beneficial for patients experiencing discogenic back pain to maintain a neutral posture in their lumbar spine when engaging in daily activities and exercises, especially those suffering from significant intravertebral disc degeneration.

Environmental Perception: A study with IFRN-SGA students
Os evidentes impactos das atividades humanas no ambiente têm suscitado debates acalorados sobre a importância da sustentabilidade e da preservação do meio ambiente, fomentando uma desejada conscientização ecológica. Apesar disso, muitas pessoas ainda não compreendem completamente os efeitos de suas ações sobre o ecossistema. Nesse cenário, é importante compreender a perspectiva dos jovens, pois eles serão responsáveis por moldar o futuro do planeta. Este artigo visa analisar os resultados de uma investigação sobre a percepção das questões ambientais por estudantes do ensino médio. Baseado na Psicologia Ambiental, o estudo adotou abordagem metodológica exploratória e quali-quantitativa, e aconteceu no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte - Campus São Gonçalo do Amarante. A coleta de dados envolveu aplicação de questionários a 187 estudantes na faixa de 14 a 18 anos matriculados nos cursos técnicos de nível médio e a realização de rodas de conversa com 76 deles. Os resultados indicam que, os participantes compreendem as questões ambientais, porém não se apropriaram efetivamente desse conhecimento, de modo que ele pouco se traduz em comportamentos/atividades e relações afetivas consistentes, condizentes com os princípios de conscientização socioambiental, o que aponta a necessidade da educação ambiental estar mais atenta à percepção ambiental.

Published: February 2024

Natural flowering in pineapple crops can cause significant economic losses to growers, resulting in uneven fruiting, which hinders phytosanitary operations and the scaling of fruit harvest. The objective of this work was to evaluate the tolerance of eight pineapple cultivars to natural flowering induction in Tangara da Serra, Mato Grosso, Brazil.  The cultivars BRS-Ajuba, BRS-Imperial, BRS-Vitoria, Gigante-de-Tarauaca, IAC-Fantastico, Jupi, Perola, and Smooth-Cayenne were evaluated. Planting was carried out in May of 2018, in a randomized block design, with five replications and 20 plants per plot. Plant height, D-leaf length, and percentage of induced plants were evaluated. The surveying period of plants naturally induced was between May and September 2019. In this period, the plants were between 12 and 16 months of age, with adequate D-leaf lengths and plant heights for the occurrence of flowering induction. There were days with night-time temperatures below 15 °C; the lowest photoperiod was in June. The cultivars Smooth-Cayenne, BRS-Imperial, and IAC-Fantastico were tolerant to the natural induction, which resulted in uneven fruiting, causing losses to growers.
