Published: November 2021

In epidemiology and public health research, caution is necessary when addressing results reported by studies based on the administration of online questionnaires. The most critical limitation in such studies is their impossibility of guaranteeing the representativeness of the sample. However, when having a representative sample is secondary, online questionnaires are an excellent alternative for exploratory studies that seek to obtain information about emerging phenomena quickly and cost-effectively or address sensitive issues, for this approach allows reaching populations difficult to get in contact with using traditional strategies. Online research allows the complete anonymity of participants and ensures they provide a more honest response, regardless of their social desirability, any stigma, or discrimination.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of the pruning management of mini-stumps of the Climax blueberry cultivar, when weekly fertigated, on the productivity of the clonal mini-garden and on the rooting and root vigor of the mini-cuttings. The high survival of the mini-stumps (100%) and production of the mini-cuttings (182.9 mini-cuttings per square meter per month) evidence the high adaptability of the material to successive samplings and to the nutritional conditions provided to the clonal mini-garden, resulting in a high multiplication rate. The rooting percentages obtained at the different samplings remain stable, with a high average of rooted mini-cuttings, reaching 81.7%.
MKL1 is a key biomarker correlated with immune infiltrates and chemosensitivity in breast cancer
Authors: Hua Yijia , Yang Mengzhu
Published: November 2021

Megakaryocytic leukemia 1 (MKL1) acts as a transcription factor in the regulation of the immune system and is associated with cancer biology. However, its function in the infiltrating immune cells in breast cancer has not been explored. Our study aimed to analyze the expression of MKL1 in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer dataset. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between MKL1 expression, infiltrating immune cells, and immune control genes. Enriched signaling pathways and drug sensitivity analyses were also performed. Our results indicate that high MKL1 expression could predict better survival in breast cancer patients. MKL1 expression was associated with the expression and function of different immune cells, including T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells (DCs). The chromatin modifying enzymes, cellular senescence, epigenetic regulation of gene expression, estrogen-dependent gene expression, and chromosome maintenance were differentially enriched in MKL1 low expression phenotype. Patients in the high MKL1 expression group showed sensitivity to paclitaxel, while those in the low expression group showed potential sensitivity for cisplatin and docetaxel. In conclusion, MKL1 might act as a potential biomarker of prognostic value for immune infiltration and drug sensitivity in breast cancer.

Authors: Horsburgh Gavin , Parsons Paul , Maher Kathryn , Paterson Steve , Burke Terry
Published: November 2021

This protocol describes a procedure for sequencing the Spike region of SARS-CoV-2 using short amplicons (146-208bp). The method has proved to successful with both clinical RNA samples and degraded wastewater samples. The primers are unique to this method. The library prep procedure has been heavily adapted from the ncov-2019 sequencing v3 (ARTIC) protocol by Josh Quick (https://www.protocols.io/view/ncov-2019-sequencing-protocol-v3-locost-bh42j8ye) and the "low cost" method from the NEOF Liverpool Illumina ARTIC protocol.

Authors: Yedjinnavenan Djihinto Oswald , S. Djogbenou Luc , Nardini Luisa , Van Eyk Armorel , L. Koekemoer Lizette
Published: November 2021

Ecdysteroids are arthropod steroid hormones that are primarily involved in insect moulting. In arthropod vectors, especially in mosquitoes, ecdysteroids of interest include mainly ecdysone (E) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). These two compounds are involved in several important biological processes. Targeting these compounds and their regulatory pathways could lead to the characterisation of novel genetic tools towards implementing new malaria control strategies. To date, there are two main methods for quantifying E and 20E. These methods include an enzymatic method (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)) and a chromatographic method (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)). However, for ecdysteroids quantification, the HPLC methods available in literature go from 30 minutes to one hour. Here, we developed a short HPLC gradient method for 20-hydroxyecdysone quantification in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. This method was developed specifically when sample material is limited as well as to save time and cost.

Published: November 2021

Here we present a detailed protocol for the identification of Taenia solium based on the few Taenia spp. eggs found in diagnostic stool samples. Our approach is based on "mail order" RNA sequencing of single eggs and can be performed in laboratories equipped with basic tools such as a microscope, a Bunsen burner, and access to an international post office for shipping samples to a next-generation sequencing facility. This protocol describes sample collection and transport, isolation of individual Taenia spp. eggs, reliable disruption of individual Taenia eggs, and important considerations for shipping samples to a next-generation sequencing facility. We provide images and videos to help prepare the tools needed for the protocol. Additional information on our rationale for designing the critical steps can help implement the protocol in new environments.
Designing Human-Centered 3D Gis Interface and Interaction Model to Support Agriculture Commodity Selection
Authors: Maulana Hanhan
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to design an interface and an interaction model using user-centered Design approach. The model-built first aim is to assist the development process of a 3-dimensional geographic information system (3D GIS). The second aim is to ensure that the system that is built meets the needs of the user. GIS has been applied in various fields. In the agriculture field, GIS is often used to assist land evaluation and commodity selection. 3D GIS can provide map visualizations that are similar to actual earth topography. This advantage can minimize the user's cognitive load when using the map. Developing 3D GIS requires more complex components than 2D GIS. This study proposes an interface and interaction model for 3D GIS in scope of agricultural commodities selections. This study has five main stages. The first stage is software requirements Analisys. The second stage is data and content analysis. At this stage, data analysis is carried out to then build a data model to manage geocontent. The third stage is User Interface design. At this stage, an interface model is created as guidelines to arrange the 3D map layout. The fourth stage is the development of the interaction model to analysis of potential user actions and feedback of the system. The last stage is prototype development and evaluation. The prototype is evaluated by involving farmers to measure the adequacy of the data. A heuristic evaluation focused on eight statements was carried out. Based on the evaluation process, in general, most users agree with the statements made. It means that the model built meets the needs of the user. This model is expected to make it easier for software developers to build 3D GIS and ensure the farmer’s need in the sistems are meets. It’s hoped that combining visual elements and interaction can increase the usability level of 3D GIS

Aprendizaje afectivo
Authors: Prada Arango Hernando , León Mora Elba Consuelo
Published: November 2021

Este artículo describe una investigación acción que giró en torno al aprendizaje afectivo y su influencia en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera en un grupo de alumnos de décimo grado de un colegio Distrital de Bogotá ayudándoles así a mejorar su producción oral en inglés. La investigación siguió el modelo de Cohen y Manion (2011) el cual desarrolla los pasos de: identificación de un problema en un contexto real, planeamiento, acción, observación, reflexión en un proceso cíclico y continuo que permite la transformación de la realidad y su contexto en el que tiene lugar la investigación.
El estudio se centró especialmente en el papel que desempeñan las competencias socioafectivas en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera, competencias que involucran sentimientos, emociones y actitudes. De acuerdo con diversos autores: Brown (2000), Yashima (2004) entre otros; la forma en que lidiamos emocionalmente con las diferentes situaciones muestra nuestra autoconfianza, la cual se considera una de las variables más influyentes que afectan de forma positiva el aprendizaje de idiomas extranjeros, así como también está relacionada con la falta de fluidez, libertad y voluntad para participar en actividades orales por parte de los estudiantes. Como resultado de este estudio, se evidenció que después de aplicada la propuesta se observó un incremento en la producción oral de dichos estudiantes.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders are among the main causes of disability in modern life. Myofascial trigger points are very common among musculoskeletal disorders and may occur through ordinary common activities. This study aimed to determine the combined effects of laser therapy and Ischemic Compression (IC) on the treatment of Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) at the upper trapezius muscle.
Materials and Methods: Twenty men with at least one active trigger point at their upper trapezius muscle voluntarily participated in this study. Trigger  points  were under treatment of laser irradiation (6 Joules per point) and also ischemic compression. Treatment approaches were applied over the pain point every other day for 5 sessions in 10 days. Neck disability index, pain intensity by visual analog scale, pressure pain threshold by algometry, and cervical lateral flexion by goniometer were assessed and recorded before the intervention, and immediately after the last session.
Results: At the end of treatment, statistically significant improvements were seen in the neck disability index, VAS value, pressure pain threshold, and cervical lateral flexion. VAS values of the treatment and control groups were compared with the baseline (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Application of combined laser and compression therapy was effective on the pain and level of disability of patients with trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Recent studies have examined the risk factors associated with lower limb injuries. This study aimed to explore the effect of 12 sessions of feedback corrective exercises on the kinematic indicators of the knee and the Electromyography Activity (EMG) of the muscles of the lower limbs of female wushu players. The present study has a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test design and a control group.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 16 female wushu players were selected by the available sampling method and placed in two groups of exercise and control. The exercise group performed feedback correction exercises for 12 sessions. Before and after the knee varus exercises, we measured, pelvic drop, and EMG of the lower limb muscles of both groups     in the SLS movement. The independent two-sample t-test was used to examine intergroup differences and the two-group correlated t-test was used to compare intra group sizes. To analyze the statistical data, SPSS V. 23 was used (P≤0.05)
Results: The results showed a significant difference in knee varus between the experiment group and the control group in the pre-test and there was a significant difference between the pelvic drop in the pre-test and post-test of the experiment group compared with the control. The angle of the knee varus in the exercise group showed a significant difference with the control group. The EMG results of the muscles in the pre-test and post-test were significantly different.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, the feedback correction exercise may improve motion control in wushu players. It also improved neuromuscular weakness in the subjects. According to the results and based on less muscle activity during movements, this exercise will reduce fatigue and the risk of injury.

Authors: Modarres Zadeh Amin , Mehri Azar , Jalaie Shohreh , Nejati Vahid , Khatoonabadi Ahmad Reza
Published: November 2021

Introduction: The present study is a case report of a 50-year-old man (SM) with aphasia whose word retrieval was severely impaired. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of a combined treatment program (attention training and language treatment) and a single program (language treatment alone) on the naming picture materials.
Materials and Methods: This case was affected by a hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident in the territory of Middle Cerebral Artery branches of the left hemisphere. Two naming treatments, i.e. the single and combined treatments sequentially, were provided for SM; during each of them a 50-item wordlist was practiced (Lists A and B). 12 treatment sessions were implemented for him during each treatment program. These two lists along with another list (List C), left for assessment of generalization of treatments to untrained items, were probed 6 times during and after each program. The whole picture set was normalized in another study described in the text.
Results: Our patient’s naming ability progressed during the treatment programs. However, this progression was more salient in combined treatment program. More specifically, List B had the mean score of 34.25 in combined treatment program that was higher than mean of List A in single treatment program (14.5). The slope of List B scores was also higher than that of List A (3.7 vs 1.2). List C showed more generalization of combined treatment to untrained items than single treatment based on its mean scores (27 vs 18.5).
Conclusion: the observed improvements of naming ability were felt to be the result of combining attention training into the language treatment which is lead to sustained attention, less distraction and more concentration.
Test-retest Reliability of EMG β-Band Intermuscular Coherence of Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain During Flexion-extension Task
Authors: Ghazi Salah , Hadian Mohammad Reza , Shadmehr Azadeh , Talebian Saeed , Olyaei Gholamreza , Hajouj Elie
Published: November 2021

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the reliability and agreement of the Beta-band Intermuscular Coherence (Bb-IMC) as a clinical assessment tool for Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain (NS-CLBP) patients and healthy subjects by studying four phases of the Flexion-Extension Task (F-ET): standing, flexion, relaxation, and extension phases.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-four men with NS-CLBP and 20 healthy subjects voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects performed three trials of F-ET while the surface electromyography was recorded from the lumbar erector spinal, gluteus maximus,  and hamstring muscles of both sides. Beta-band intermuscular coherence analysis was used to calculate the pool coherence and the pairwise coherence for all mentioned muscles. Afterward, the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) for four phases of F-ET were used to analyze the intra- rater reliability and agreement of the measurements.
Results: The investigation of ICC, SEM, and MDC showed that the reliability was moderate to a high level for pool and pairwise coherence of Bb-IMC in all mentioned muscles for   four phases of the flexion-extension task in NS-CLBP patients and healthy subjects. Yet, the agreement was low because the measurement error was relatively large.
Conclusion: So far, no studies have used the Bb-IMC method to study low back pain, which is carried out in our research to check the reliability of this new method. Our findings revealed that pool and pairwise coherence obtained during F-ET have moderate to a high level of reliability for using Bb-IMC and could be considered a tool for the NS-CLBP patients’ assessment. Despite the small sample size investigated, in clinical practice the using Bb-IMC measure  can help to study the interaction of corticospinal in NS-CLBP and also in healthy subjects. This measure requires larger sample sizes in addition to studying other circumstances and functional movements such as lifting weight. Further, more research appears to be warranted by the observed effectiveness of a particular intervention in modulation mechanisms of corticospinal tract function by Bb-IMC in NS-CLBP.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Language processing (especially phonology) and speech motor control are disordered in stuttering. However,  it is unclear how they are related based on the models of speech processing. The present study aimed to study non-word repetition, rhyme and alliteration judgment, and speech motor control and investigate their relationship in children who stutter (CWS) compared to typically developed children (TDC).
Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight CWS (mean age=5.46 years) and 28 peers TDC (mean age=5.52 years) participated in this study. Phonological processing, according to the speech processing model, is divided into phonological input and output. Phonological input, phonological output, and speech motor control were assessed by rhyme and alliteration tasks, accurate phonological production during non-word repetition task, and Robbins-Klee oral speech motor protocol, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and Cohen’s d were used for data analysis.
Results: Both non-word repetition and speech motor skills were significantly different in CWS than TDC (P<0.001). But rhyme and alliteration judgment were similar across groups (P>0.001). Phonological processing and speech motor control were not significantly correlated (P>0.001).
Conclusion: Phonological processing (output), a level before  articulation,  and  speech  motor control are not correlated, but both are disordered in preschool CWS. Additionally, phonological processing (input) is similar in CWS and TDC. That is, phonological input is not affected by stuttering in CWS.

Introduction: The use of screen media by children and adolescents is increasing and has destructive effects on various development aspects. This study was done to determine the correlates of Screen Time (ST) in children and adolescents.
Materials and Methods: Published articles from January 2000 to September 2020 were searched through PubMed, PsycNet, Science Direct, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Magiran, SID, and IranDoc databases were searched for Persian studies with no time limitation. The used keywords were correlates OR predictors + screen time, screen use, screen viewing, screen media, mobile use, cellphone use, TV/ television viewing, TV/ television use, TV/ television, computer use, video game, Media exposure, Media use, electronic media, digital media, digital devices, tablet use + adolescent, youth, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and children. The literature search identified 51 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
Results: After reviewing the studies according to the PRISMA checklist, the correlates were Grouped in five categories: (i) child biological and demographic correlates, (ii) behavioral correlates, (iii) family biological and demographic correlates, (iv) family structure related correlates, and (v) socio-cultural and environmental correlates. The most common correlates found were age, sex, and Body Mass Index (BMI) of children, age and education of parents, socio-economic status, physical activity, quality of the neighborhood, parents’ ST, rules, and Digital Devices (DD) in the child/ adolescent’s bedroom.
Conclusion: The ST in children and adolescents is associated with several factors at intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social/ cultural levels. It is suggested that health promotion programs to reduce the use of these devices should be implemented with a comprehensive view of the individual, family, and society.
Effects of Neural Mobilization Techniques on Painand Disabilityin PatientsWith Neurodynamic Dysfunction: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Shamsi Hasan , Khademi-Kalantari Khosro , Okhovatian Farshad
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Neural mobilization is the most important  technique  used for the treatment  of nervous system dysfunction. This study aimed to systematically review and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of neural mobilization techniques in nervous system dysfunctions by assessing Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCTs).
Materials and Methods: We used all English papers published in five electronic databases from 2000 to 2020 using the following keywords: “neural mobilization”, “nerve mobilization”, “physical therapy”, “nerve glide exercises”, “neural stretching”, “neurodynamics”, and “neural physiotherapy”. The full text of the articles identified was reviewed to select papers specifically discussing neural mobilization as a treatment modality. The PEDro scale was used to assess the quality of these trials. The randomized clinical trials were selected that examined the therapeutic effect of neural mobilization.
Results: Twelve RCTs were identified. Five RCTs used the same median nerve tensioning technique in patients  with Carpal Tunnel  Syndrome  (CTS).  In some studies, the methods  of neural mobilization were different. Fourteen papers examined different neurodynamic dysfunctions such as lateral epicondylalgia, radicular neck pain, postoperative spinal surgery, radicular low back pain, and chronic tension-type headache. There is moderate evidence (Level 2) to support distal nerve tensioning and tendon gliding techniques in CTS Also, there was limited (Level 3) and insufficient (Level 4) evidence about using cervical lateral gliding away from their involved side and upper limb tension test mobilization and the use of slump stretches and combinations techniques in the treatment of neurodynamic dysfunction, respectively. Besides, all studies reported a positive effect compared to neutral effects.
Conclusion: Although clinicians frequently use neuromobilization techniques for both diagnosis and treatment of nervous system dysfunctions, the quality assessment of 20 RCTs has shown insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of these techniques in the treatment of nervous system dysfunctions.

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus, primarily targets the human respiratory system and causes symptoms similar to those of pneumonia. However, these patients do not only experience respiratory problems. Those with COVID-19 infection may show various signs and symptoms, including fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, myalgia, arthralgia, fatigue (muscular and mental), joint swelling, headache, diarrhea, as well as some musculoskeletal symptoms. Therefore, this article aimed to investigate the major musculoskeletal problems in patients with COVID-19 through a review study.
Materials and Methods: This study gathered the related published studies in PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct. The main keywords were “COVID-19”, “coronavirus”, and “musculoskeletal problem”.
Results: The major musculoskeletal symptoms include muscle fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, joint swelling (reactive arthritis), and such conditions as joint limitations, tendon shortening, and muscle weakness due to prolonged bed rest. However, their prevalence rates have not been investigated systematically.
Conclusion: Our findings revealed that attention to musculoskeletal rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19 is as essential as their respiratory rehabilitation. Besides, it would be effective in reducing the physical complications of hospitalization, returning to independence and functional activities, and improving the quality of the patients’ life.

Published: November 2021

Introducción: En los últimos años, los patrones alimenticios de la población han cambiado tanto en países desarrollados como en los de vías de desarrollo. Esto debido a la urbanización y globalización de los mercados, y por consiguiente, ha causado el reemplazo de los alimentos tradicionales o mínimamente procesados por alimentos ultraprocesados en la dieta diaria. Incluso, se ha evidenciado que uno de los medios más convenientes para la adquisición de estos productos son las máquinas expendedoras. Objetivo: Explorar los motivos de consumo de productos ultraprocesados en máquinas expendedoras en estudiantes de una universidad privada en Lima.  Método: Es un estudio cualitativo de diseño fenomenológico. Se realizaron 40 listados libres, 18 entrevistas a profundidad y 2 grupos focales a universitarios mayores de 18 años utilizando guías de preguntas. La muestra fue de 66 personas seleccionadas por conveniencia hasta llegar al punto de saturación.  Resultados: El producto más consumido de las máquinas expendedoras fueron las papas fritas picantes. Los motivos de consumo de productos ultraprocesados en máquinas expendedoras fueron el sabor, horario académico, la cercanía, la accesibilidad, el precio, la facilidad y rapidez. También, se evidenció que el estado de ánimo, como estrés, ansiedad, tristeza y depresión influye en el proceso de compra de estos productos.  Conclusión: A pesar de que los estudiantes saben y conocen que los productos ultraprocesados son perjudiciales para la salud los siguen consumiendo principalmente por el sabor, horario académico, el precio, la accesibilidad y la rapidez hacia ellos.

En este artículo, se propone una arquitectura tecnológica que permite a las empresas que tienen implementado SAP ERP, exponer y consumir los servicios del ERP On-Premise a través de una plataforma cloud utilizando un agente de integración en la red corporativa privada. Esta propuesta tecnológica permite optimizar los tiempos de respuesta de los procesos de negocios implementados en un ERP. Esto se realiza a través del uso de los componentes de integración (SAP Cloud Connector o SAP Web Dispatcher), los cuales orquestan la conexión entre el ERP y el SCP (SAP Cloud Platform) a través de su acción como proxys inversor. La arquitectura tecnológica propuesta está compuesta por cinco capas: clientes, plataforma de servicios SCP, punto de integración, ERP On Premise y base de datos. Finalmente, a través de un caso de estudio, se determinó que el proceso de gestión de las reservas redujo su índice de errores en un 18% y el costo asociado a los actores del proceso disminuyó en un 25% permitiendo evidenciar que la propuesta cumple con los objetivos trazados.
Aplicación de la metodología del LCCA para la elección de sustitución de la superestructura del Puente Fortaleza
Authors:   , Hinostroza Huanay Luis Reynaldo , Berrospi Vicente Rocio Belen
Published: November 2021

Actualmente, la elección de proyectos de puentes considera solo el costo de construcción inicial, no considera los costos ocurridos a lo largo del ciclo de vida, como el costo de mantenimiento, y no consideran la afectación que genera la construcción y el mantenimiento del puente en el usuario. El puente Fortaleza, se encuentra intransitable desde el año 2017, por consecuencia del niño costero ocurrido en dicho año, que provocó que la cimentación del estribo derecho fallé por la erosión de la sección del río. Por lo que la presente tesis tiene como fin desarrollar la metodología de evaluación de proyectos de puentes LCCA (Life cycle cost analysis). El LCCA es una metodología de evaluación económica de proyectos de puentes, que combina sólidos conocimientos técnicos de transporte con un sólido conocimiento de análisis económico, que incluye en su análisis todos los costos relevantes que ocurren durante el ciclo de vida de un proyecto de puente. Los tres costos considerados son: costo de construcción, costo de mantenimiento y costo de usuario. Se cuantificó los costos y tiempos de construcción y mantenimiento de cada alternativa de sustitución. Y se cuantificó la afectación al usuario producto de los trabajos de construcción y mantenimiento sobre la vía del puente, lo que obligó a considerar un desvío de vehículos. Finalmente, se analizaron los datos obtenidos, para escoger la alternativa de sustitución de la superestructura, se realizó la verificación de la infraestructura existente y se desarrolló el diseño de la superestructura escogida.
El derecho constitucional a la igualdad y su influencia en el matrimonio igualitario en el Sistema Jurídico Peruano
Authors:   , Abensur Zambrano Antonieta Lucía
Published: November 2021

La idea y el tema desarrollado a lo largo del presente trabajo de investigación surgieron como consecuencia de ser testigo de la desprotección jurídica en la que vive la comunidad LGTBI en nuestro país. Estas personas ven constantemente violados sus derechos, incluyendo uno de los más importantes: el derecho a la igualdad. Este derecho no solo se encuentra reconocido y protegido en los diversos tratados internacionales sobre materia de derechos humanos de los cuales el Perú es parte, sino que también se encuentra debidamente reconocido y protegido por nuestro texto constitucional. Es decir, no solo nos encontramos frente a un derecho que es reconocido y protegido por el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, sino que también frente a un derecho constitucional y, por tanto, existe una obligación por parte del Estado Peruano de garantizar su debido respeto y cumplimiento frente todos sus habitantes sin excepción alguna. Bajo esta premisa, ¿se está vulnerando el derecho constitucional a la igualdad y a la no discriminación de la población LGTBI al impedírseles contraer matrimonio? El presente trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que, efectivamente, existe una vulneración al derecho constitucional a la igualad. En ese sentido es imperativo que el Perú regule el matrimonio igualitario dentro de su ordenamiento jurídico no solo para ponerle fin a dicha situación, sino además para estar acorde con lo establecido en los tratados internacionales sobre la materia de derechos humanos de los que forma parte. El presente trabajo busca corroborar lo anteriormente planteado.
Sztuka jako adaptacja: uniwersalizm w estetyce ewolucyjnej
Authors: Luty Jerzy
Published: November 2021

The paper is a synoptic review of my monograph Art as an adaptation. Universalism in evolutionary aesthetics (2018), which is the analysis of the evolutionary theory of art — a theoretical phenomenon that has been developed in recent years, a discipline that explains the origin of human admiration for beauty and human inclination to create and admire art based on Darwinian theories of natural and sexual selection. The main objective of the paper is to determine to what extent the evolutionary perspective enriches our concept of art and whether naturalization and universalization of the analysis of art can be enlivening for aesthetics in the face of its crisis. On a more general level, the aim of the work is to demonstrate that the use of evolutionary hypotheses in the humanities, based on the achievements of, among others, biology and evolutionary psychology, human behavioural ecology and cognitive archaeology, can become a recipe for the conceptual and identity impasse in the humanities in general. In the paper I make a case for the claim that the evolutionary study of art and artistic behaviour indicates art’s inalienability “as a result of the inner human need”. It also formulates justified assumptions in a philosophical debate on the existence of aesthetic universals and the credibility of the universalist position in art theory. According to this, art operates as part of a natural, immutable apparatus of sensations, universal to all humans.
Twórczość jako adaptacja? Sztuka zagrożona wyginięciem…
Authors: Bandura Agnieszka
Published: November 2021

In this paper I try to defend contemporary art (avant-garde and post-modern) from the criticism of evolutionary aesthetics. Referring to selected theses put forward by Jerzy Luty in his book Art as Adaptation. Universalism in Evolutionary Aesthetics (2018), I propose an alternative to them in the form of philosophical anthropology (Gehlen) and evolutionary theory considered as bricolage (Jacob). Above all, I challenge the hypotheses of the evolutionarily and biologically adaptive function of art and the condition of pleasure it must necessarily provide.
Joachim Lelewel’s methodological ideas
Authors: Ciechowicz Marta
Published: November 2021

The main aim of this paper is to capture the essence of a Polish historian Joachim Lelewel’s methodological ideas and their philosophical underpinning. For this purpose, I analyse his publication entitled History: Its Branching and What It Is Based On, which has thus far been overlooked in research. I propose a new perspective on Lelewel’s work, taking into account his European inspirations in the field of historical theory and his tendency to combine the contradictory research approaches of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. I address topics related mainly to the theory of historical cognition, the subject of historical study, source criticism, the concept of truth, historical interpretation, methods of historical analysis and selected rhetorical principles.

Published: November 2021

In this research we approach the use of Active Methodologies in the teaching of Physical Education. The general objective is to know the contributions of the active methodologies in the development of the teaching and learning process in Physical Education classes. The research was elaborated in a critical line of investigation using the qualitative approach. This is a bibliographic study with the steps: choice of theme, preliminary bibliographic survey, interpretative textual analysis and problematization. It is structured in subtopics that discuss the theme. It is noteworthy that the active methodologies are based on ways of developing the learning process, using real or simulated experiences, aiming at the conditions to successfully solve challenges arising from the essential activities of social practice in different contexts, because they are based on teaching strategies based on a critical and reflective pedagogical conception that allow reading and intervention on reality, favoring the interaction between the different actors of the process and valuing a collective construction of knowledge and its different knowledge and learning scenarios. In addition, they are practices that stimulate creativity in building problem solutions and promote freedom in the process of thinking and acting.

Published: November 2021

The present text has the purpose of studying the proposition of entanglement of the Advanced Literary Journalism (ALJ) with the production of “artisans’ narratives”, having as purpose to propose signs for research in Tourism. The article presents the concept of the ALJ and the comprehension of Tourism, as Ecosystemic-Path of Deterritorialization. The methodological aspects are composed by the Cartography of Knowledge. Artisans narratives correspond to the field of research, with relates of life stories from street artisans, entangled with personal records from the diary of research. The production allows thinking on ALJ and the artisans narratives as fields of potentialities, for the upcoming of researches that comprehend Tourism and its transversalities, in its complexity.
