CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of female-biased genes AeAct-4 or myo-fem in Ae. aegypti results in a flightless phenotype in female, but not male mosquitoes
Authors: O’Leary Sarah , Adelman Zach N.
Published: December 2020

Aedes aegypti is a vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Current vector control strategies such as community engagement, source reduction, and insecticides have not been sufficient to prevent viral outbreaks. Thus, interest in novel strategies involving genetic engineering is growing. Female mosquitoes rely on flight to mate with males and obtain a bloodmeal from a host. We hypothesized that knockout of genes specifically expressed in female mosquitoes associated with the indirect flight muscles would result in a flightless female mosquito. Using CRISPR-Cas9 we generated loss-of-function mutations in several genes hypothesized to control flight in mosquitoes, including actin (AeAct-4) and myosin (myo-fem) genes expressed specifically in the female flight muscle. Genetic knockout of these genes resulted in 100% flightless females, with homozygous males able to fly, mate, and produce offspring, albeit at a reduced rate when compared to wild type males. Interestingly, we found that while AeAct-4 was haplosufficient, with most heterozygous individuals capable of flight, this was not the case for myo-fem, where about half of individuals carrying only one intact copy could not fly. These findings lay the groundwork for developing novel mechanisms of controlling Ae. aegypti populations, and our results suggest that this mechanism could be applicable to other vector species of mosquito.

Published: December 2020

Queijos de kefir com e sem condimentos foram produzidos e analisados quanto às suas características físico-químicas e sensoriais. Foram produzidos dois tipos de queijo, sendo um tradicional e outro com condimentos como salsa, cebolinha, alho desidratado e pimenta preta. Análise de pH e determinação de umidade, cinzas, lipídios e lactose foram executadas nos queijos, bem como avaliação sensorial utilizando escala hedônica de 9 pontos para os atributos cor, consistência, aparência e sabor, cálculo do índice de aceitabilidade e a intenção de compra. Foram encontrados teores de umidade de 76,27%, cinzas 1,16%, lipídios 11,66%, lactose de 2,33% e pH de 3,86 no queijo sem condimentos, já no queijo com condimentos foram encontrados percentuais semelhantes de umidade 76,58%, cinzas 2,23%, lipídios 10%, lactose de 2,05% e pH de 3,57. Na análise de sensorial encontrou-se índice de aceitabilidade maior que 70% em todos os parâmetros avaliados. Não houve diferença significativa entre os queijos para os parâmetros avaliados. Dessa forma, foi possível desenvolver duas formulações de queijo de kefir, uma com e outra sem condimentos. Ambas as formulações não apresentaram diferença significativa para os parâmetros físico-químicos e sensoriais avaliados. Os resultados encontrados geram oportunidade para explorar cada vez mais os derivados de kefir.
COVID-19, and Vitamin D, and Air Pollution Global Epidemics Impact on Older Adults
Authors: Marks Ray
Published: December 2020

Background Most current Corona virus or COVID-19 pandemic deaths have been found to occur among populations older than 65 years of age, who often suffer from the presence of an array of chronic diseases that may be related to a co-occurring vitamin D deficiency. Another factor affecting older adults’ immune response mechanisms is air quality. In turn, air quality can impact the absorption of vitamin D from sunlight sources, a factor which could explain why older people, who are often vitamin D deficient, may be more likely than younger adults or healthy adults to be at risk for COVID-19 and poor outcomes. Aim This work was designed to examine the recent literature on COVID-19, vitamin D and air pollution and what it might imply for public health workers, policy makers, and others. Methods Available data accessed largely from the PUBMED data base for the year 2020 using the key words COVID-19, air pollution, and vitamin D deficiency were sought and selected items were carefully examined and documented in narrative and tabular formats. Results Many publications on COVID-19 prevail, but far fewer focus specifically on vitamin D deficiency and its possible role in explaining COVID-19 global health risk among older adults. A similar, albeit small number of publications, discuss the global pandemics of air pollution and its possible COVID-19 association, as well as its impact on vitamin D production. However, while most related articles support a possible independent as well as a dual role for both factors in COVID-19 the realm of this highly infectious widespread disease, very few actual studies have been conducted to date on any of these topical issues Conclusion More research to examine if vitamin D-based nutrients or supplements may provide some degree of community wide protection against COVID-19 in the older vitamin D populations, especially among those living in highly polluted areas may prove highly valuable. Controlling air pollution emissions globally and locally may also prove to be a highly impactful public health approach to reducing overall COVID-19 risk, and extent, and warrants study.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION:

Although the Rome criteria were created primarily for research purposes, it was an important question whether the Rome criteria can distinguish organic dyspepsia from functional dyspepsia (FD). We evaluated the accuracy of the Rome IV criteria in identifying patients with FD and compared the differences between the Rome IV, Rome III, and potential Asia criteria in identifying patients with FD.

METHODS:

In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from March 2018 to January 2019 at 2 tertiary hospitals.

RESULTS:

A total of 600 patients were enrolled in this study, including 381 individuals met the Rome IV criteria for FD, 438 individuals met the Rome III criteria for FD, and 525 individuals met the potential Asia criteria for FD. The Rome IV criteria identified patients with FD with 67.3% sensitivity and 38.4% specificity, and the positive and negative likelihood ratios of FD identified by Rome IV criteria were 1.09 (95% confidence interval 0.97–1.24) and 0.85 (95% confidence interval 0.67–1.08), respectively. There was no significant difference in the area under Rome IV, Rome III, or potential Asia criteria receiver operating characteristic curves in identifying FD (P > 0.05).

DISCUSSION:

The Rome IV criteria were no better than the Rome III or potential Asia criteria in identifying FD and were not helpful in identifying patients with FD. Hence, although the Rome criteria remain useful for defining patients with FD for inclusion into clinical treatment trials, they should not be used for diagnosing FD.

Authors: Papworth Helen Sylvia
Published: December 2020

This article attempts to compare the civic education received by young citizens in Ethiopia and citizenship education in Britain, in particular Wales. Based on the author’s personal experiences, email correspondence with a practitioner in Ethiopia, and evidence located in secondary materials, this research compares delivery of the curriculum, the methods, materials, and assessment used, as well as an evaluation of the possible impact this has on students. It also considers the future development of these subjects as each country attempts to prepare students to be more active citizens. In attempting to compare the provision of civic or citizenship education for young people, the author has researched the content of the curricula and how it has been assessed. The article also looks at the future of civics and citizenship education that, although it may use different words, curricula, and assessment methods, shares a similar aim—to create better citizens. The article begins by looking at youth participation in the recent political events in both countries to determine whether civic education could have had any influence.

El objetivo de la presente investigación era traducir al español y validar la Escala de Comunicación Efectiva en Deportes de Equipo (SECTS-2S). Para ello, se realizaron dos estudios. El Estudio 1 contó con 276 jugadores de fútbol de género masculino (88.40 %) y femenino (11.60 %) con un rango de edad de 16-42 años (M = 18.42; DT = 2.71). Los resultados mostraron una estructura factorial con tres factores de primer orden (aceptación, conflicto negativo y distinción) y con adecuada consistencia interna (α y w = .70-.79). En el Estudio 2, participaron 453 jugadores de fútbol de ambos géneros (89.40 % masculino y 10.60 % femenino) con edades en el rango de 16-39 años (M = 20.86;DT = 3.56). Nuevamente, se obtuvieron índices de ajuste aceptables con una estructura compuesta por tres factores de primer orden y con valores adecuados de consistencia interna para cada factor (α y w = .75-.83). Además, se comprobó que la SECTS-2S mostraba una adecuada validez discriminante y nomológica con la variable de cohesión de grupo (p < .05). Por último, se encontró que la escala SECTS-2S es invariante con respecto al nivel competitivo de los jugadores. Se concluye que la SECTS-2S es una herramienta válida y fiable para medir la comunicación intra-equipo en el fútbol.

Baccharis cinerea belongs to the Asteraceae family, in Brazil is found in the Northeast and Southeast, occurring in the Caatinga and Mata Atlântica biomes, on the edges of the seasonal forests, board and altitude forests in both regenerating primary and secondary areas. Has proven antimicrobial and antiviral activity and is widely used in folk medicine for its various therapeutic effects and is used as an antiseptic for skin and wound infections, inflammation, diarrhea as well as being used as a purgative. The plants used in the traditional medicine are more and more explored scientifically because they are possible resources of substances with antimicrobial activity in front damage man’s health microorganism. In this context the objective of the study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity, modulator activity of antibiotic and in vitro phytochemical prospection of leaf ethanol extracts. Tests were performed on the bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536). The antibacterial activity was analyzed by means determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). For the evaluation of the modulating activity, the microdilution method of the diluted extract samples with the antibiotic’s amikacin, clindamycin and gentamicin was used. The MIC results were ≥ 1024 μg mL-1 by the bacterial strains. There was a relevance of concentrations in modulation with the antimicrobials tested such as amikacin and gentamicin, there were no discrepancy of clindamycin results in association with the extract. The chemical constituents found were leucoanthocyanidins, flabobenic tannins, flavanones, flavones, flavonoids, xanthones, chalcones, aurones. It is important to note that is necessary to do other studies to evaluate the potential of this species because it has important chemical compounds in reducing antimicrobial resistance.

Sunflower is one of the most important oilseeds in the world. However, cultivation in semi-arid regions requires analysis of production costs and profitability, ensuring effective decision-making, focused on farming procedures and techniques. In two agricultural crops, 2016 and 2017, experiments were conducted to evaluate the economic indicators of sunflower cultivars (‘Aguará 06’, ‘Altis 99’, ‘Multissol’ and ‘BRS 122’) submitted to nitrogen (N) doses (0; 30; 60; 90 and 120 kg ha-1) via fertirrigation under semi-arid conditions. The net margin corresponded to the increase of N doses, reaching a maximum net margin in the 2016 harvest of R$ 366.89 ha-1 at the dose of 81 kg ha-1 of N for ‘BRS 122’; R$ 577.41 ha-1 with 118 kg ha-1 of N for ‘Multissol’; and for ‘Aguará 06’ (R$ 2,124.00 ha-1) and ‘Altis 99’ (R$ 976.66 ha-1) at the dose of 120 kg ha-1 of N. In the 2017 harvest, ‘BRS 122’ obtained R$ 190.90 ha-1 in the dose of 83 kg ha-1 of N and ‘Multissol’ reached R$ 657.50 in the dose of 85 kg ha-1 of N; the cultivars ‘Aguará 06’ (R$ 1,078.00 ha-1) and ‘Altis 99’ (R$ 957.14 ha-1) in the dose of 120 kg ha-1 of N. The rate of return and the profitability index were positive for all cultivars in both crops.

Canine demodicosis is a common inflammatory parasitic skin disease caused by Demodex mites. House dust mites, such as Dermatophagoides spp., play an important role in the pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis (AD). The goal of this experimental work was to investigate whether demodectic dogs could be previously exposed/sensitized to house dust mites’ antigens. First the prevalence of demodicosis in a southeastern region of Brazil was investigated by analyzing clinical files of dogs that were admitted to a Veterinary Hospital. Subsequently, the IgG responses to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) and Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) and IgE to D. pteronyssinus (Dp) were evaluated in two groups, AD or demodicosis dogs. Additionally, the major IgE-binding Dp proteins that are recognized by sera from dogs with demodicosis and AD were evaluated. A total of 2,599 clinical files were analyzed to identify the major parasitic skin diseases in dogs from this region, considering the age, sex and breed of the animals. The epidemiological study identified 111 animals with skin diseases; from these 20.7% presented demodicosis. Afterwards, serum samples were obtained from another groups of demodicosis, AD, and healthy dogs, and analyzed for Dp and Df-specific IgG, and IgE antibody levels, Dp IgG avidity by ELISA and IgE-binding Dp-specific proteins by immunoblot. IgG and IgE antibodies to Dp were detected in sera from additional groups of dogs with AD, demodicosis or healthy, with higher IgE levels to Dp in AD than demodectic or healthy dogs. IgG to Df was detected, despite with smaller levels compared to Dp in sera from demodectic dogs, and also in healthy dogs. Immunoblot showed IgE-binding to Dp proteins in sera of dogs with demodicosis and AD; with strong reactivity for the 72 and 116 kDa antigens detected by sera from demodicosis dogs. However, sera from healthy dogs >12 months old also presented reactivity to these bands. In conclusion, the detection of Dp-IgG and IgE antibodies in sera from demodectic dogs indicates previous exposure and sensitization to the house dust mite, respectively, more than cross-reactivity between demodex mites and Dp antigens detected by canine antibodies. Additionally, higher Dp-specific IgE levels were found in dogs with AD compared with those with demodicosis or healthy, suggesting that Dp-specific IgE could better discriminate dogs with AD from healthy ones or even those with demodicosis.

Published: December 2020

Mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil) is an arboreal species of great economic and socio-environmental importance in South American countries. This specie presents several difficulties during seminal propagation, and studies related to plantlet production by vegetative propagation are fundamental for obtaining homogenous mate plantations with high leaf productivity. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of substrate and shading levels on the morphophysiological quality of mate plantlets produced by mini-cuttings. Rooted mini-cuttings of four mate clones were cultivated on commercial substrate, subsurface soil and vermiculite (2:1:1 v/v/v), commercial substrate and subsurface soil (2:1 v/v) or subsurface soil, cattle manure and carbonized rice hulls (2:1:1 v/v/v). After 120 days, the plantlets were randomly distributed on benches to evaluate the effects of 50 and 80% shading screens. Regardless of the clone, the commercial substrate and subsurface soil composition allowed plantlet production with satisfactory development of both aerial part and root system at 120 days of cultivation. Clone 06SM17 produced plantlets with high averages of stem diameter, shoot height, number of leaves, total length, surface area, total volume of roots, and number of root tips. Both shade levels resulted in similar stem diameters, shoot heights, numbers of leaves, and a, b, and total chlorophyll indices. Clonal mate plantlets with satisfactory morphophysiological quality are produced in commercial substrate and subsurface soil (2:1 v/v) under 50 and 80% shading.

The structure of the sward is important because it influences the responses of plants and animals in grazing conditions. The objective with this work was to evaluate the structural characteristics of the Marandu palisade grass pasture (Brachiaria brizantha syn. Urochloa brizantha) during spring and summer, depending on the condition of the sward at the end of winter. Four grazing conditions at the end of winter were evaluated: short (24.1 cm), short (25.2 cm)/mown (8 cm), tall (49.0 cm) and tall (50.0 cm)/mown (8 cm). The foliar area index was lower in the tall pasture than in the tall/mown pasture. The mass and the volumetric density of dead stem were higher in the tall pasture, intermediate in the short pasture, and lower in mowed pastures. At the beginning of the grazing period, the live stem mass was higher in the tall pasture. At the beginning and middle of the grazing period, the volumetric density of dead leaf lamina was lower in mowed pastures. At the beginning of the pasture period, the short pasture had a higher tiller number (TN). In the middle of the grazing period, the short and short/mown pastures had higher TN. At the end of the pasture period, the lowest TN value occurred in the tall pasture. The tall pasture at the end of winter presents an unfavorable structure to the animal in grazing, while the mowing and reduction in the height of the marandu palisade grass improves the structure of the sward in spring and summer.

The knowledge of the physiological aspects in the execution of the training in the bodybuilding is important to improve the training; being the lactate concentration an important marker applied in several types of exercises. Some studies have evaluated lactacidemia and training models but did not use squatting in their protocols. The aim of the study was to analyze blood lactate concentration in free squat exercise training in two training models: strength and resistance. Experimental study with a sample of five men of 24 ± 4.6 years, physically active and practicing for at least one year, with no history of orthopedic and cardiovascular problems. The tests were performed in two days, in the strength session the volunteers performed 12 sets, 6 to 12 maximal repetitions and in the resistance session 12 series, 13 to 20 maximum repetitions. In both tests the interval was 1 minute and 30 seconds between sets and 2 minutes every 4 sets. Blood lactate was collected at rest, during and after the test. No significant differences were found in the lactate concentration during and after the tests in the strength training and the resistance training. However, the lactacidemia variation between the first and last collection presented a significantly higher result in strength training. We conclude that the models of strength and resistance training, in the free squat exercise, do not present significant differences in lactate concentration during and after the tests. The total lactacidemia variation was greater in strength training.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of grape seed extract (GSE)-based intracanal dressings against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and its influence on dentin microhardness and bond strength of the filling material. The root canals of 126 human teeth were distributed into three test groups: antimicrobial activity (60 teeth), dentin microhardness (30 teeth) and bond strength (36 teeth). In all three groups, specimens were subdivided into six groups, according to intracanal dressing protocols: G1 – distilled water (DW); G2 – 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX); G3 – calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2)+DW; G4 – GSE+DW; G5 – Ca(OH)2+CHX; G6 – GSE+CHX. The counting of colony-forming units (CFUs), the Vickers microhardness tester and the push-out test were performed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, dentin microhardness and bond strength, respectively. Specific statistical analysis was performed for each evaluation (α=5%). The greatest bacterial reduction was observed in G5 (Ca[OH]2+CHX) and G6 (GSE+CHX) (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among groups in the dentin microhardness evaluation (p<0.05). The highest bond strength in the immediate evaluation was observed in G4 (GSE+DW) and G6 (GSE+CHX), whereas the highest bond strength after 12 months of storage was observed in G2 (CHX), G3 (Ca[OH]2+DW), G4 (GSE+DW), and G6 (GSE+CHX) (p<0.05). After the storage period, bond strength was increased in G2 (CHX) and G3 (Ca[OH]2+DW), and remained unchanged in G4 (GSE+DW) and G6 (GSE+CHX) (p<0.05). GSE-based intracanal dressings have antimicrobial potential against E. faecalis, have no influence in dentin microhardness and preserve the high bond strength of filling materials for root dentin over time.
Arquitectura e infraestructura para el desarrollo en Argentina (1960-1975)
Authors: Costa Camila
Published: December 2020

La promoción estatal de obras de arquitectura e infraestructura argentinas en la “larga década de 1960” se vinculó a demandas reconocibles que emergen de la planificación territorial y económica. La profundización del proceso de industrialización implicó para el país la autosuficiencia energética, la comunicación fluida entre centros productivos y los recientemente creados Estados provinciales, así como la industrialización de la construcción. Estos aspectos repercutieron en la creación y desarrollo de diversos programas constructivos. Sin embargo, este artículo revisa la literatura en torno a tres programas específicos: industria, energía y conexiones territoriales, por considerarlos fundamentales y sinérgicos dentro del proceso de industrialización en su segunda fase. En la mirada disciplinar sobre el objeto de estudio, la política y la economía acuerdan bastante en la conceptualización del período, la planificación incorpora la noción de desequilibrio caracterizando al territorio argentino, y desde la arquitectura las obras se han abordado sólo en términos de búsqueda de identidad nacional y de cuestionamientos al estilo moderno. Este trabajo permite señalar que la construcción teórica gira en torno a las nociones de: desarrollismo como modelo teórico, territorio como espacio geográfico y lugar de poder, planificación como disciplina prioritaria en la época y arquitectura para el desarrollo como concepto en construcción.

What does ELF mean for the simultaneous interpreter? An overview of the current situation of the Spanish interpreting market
Authors: Rodríguez Melchor María Dolores , Walsh Andrew Samuel
Published: December 2020

The article reports on a survey of Spanish-based interpreters’ perceptions of ELF in simultaneous interpreting settings. The findings of the survey were then further explored through interviews with eight professional conference interpreters in order to provide a more accurate overview of the current situation of the Spanish conference interpreting market. Our research revealed the growing prevalence of ELF at international conferences held in Spain, and that this new reality is perceived as a threat to the interpreting profession. Participants were asked about the quality and accessibility of non-native English source speeches, about their approach to interpreting into English for a non-native English audience, and about whether or not they had to seek alternative employment in other parallel language services, such as translation or teaching in order to make a living.
Translating child protection assessments for ELF users: Accommodation, accessibility, and accuracy
Authors: Määttä Simo K.
Published: December 2020

This paper analyzes the translation of five child protection assessments and decisions from Finnish into English. Translators of such text have to make difficult decisions in relation to the linguistic resources of the end users, namely the child’s parents or custodians, because it is impossible for the translator to assess their linguistic resources. Therefore, it is difficult to strike a balance between an accurate translation and a pragmatically felicitous translation. Besides, these texts are typically translated by community interpreters who have no formal training in translation. A total of 18 examples of translation problems related to terminology, nominalization, passive constructions, and speech representation were analyzed by mobilizing different linguistic theories related to each category. The results show that the target texts present several accommodation strategies aimed at rendering the translations more accessible. Thus, terms are explained or glossed, and terms, grammatical constructions, and complex forms of reported speech are simplified. More awareness-raising among different stakeholders is needed in order to produce translations that really empower migrant communities.
Gimnasia cerebral como mediación pedagógica para mejorar la lectura en voz alta de estudiantes de segundo-seis del Instituto Técnico La Cumbre
Authors: Duarte Millán Angie Vanessa
Published: December 2020

La presente investigación se enmarca en el paradigma cualitativo, la cual se caracteriza por estudiar la realidad de los 28 estudiantes de Segundo-seis del Instituto Técnico la Cumbre del municipio de Floridablanca-Santander, en donde a través de la investigación-acción se asume un papel activo para mejorar la lectura en voz alta.Se establece como objetivo general fortalecer los procesos de lectura en voz alta a partir de siete talleres pedagógicos basados en ejercicios de gimnasia cerebral centrados en mejorar la fluidez, pronunciación, entonación y volumen de voz. Cuenta con la observación participativa, rúbricas de evaluación, registros audiovisuales y diarios de campo.Como resultado se observa que, para el fortalecimiento de los procesos de lectura en voz alta, es importante que se creen espacios en el aula de clase en donde se estimule la oralidad, se fomente el respeto y la actitud de escucha. Además, se reconoce que el acto de leer en voz alta debe ser considerado como una oportunidad para llevar a los niños a cambiar su aprendizaje y mejorar las dificultades académicas, en donde se desarrolle una conexión integral entre la comunicación corporal y el lenguaje. Una de las principales conclusiones es que, dentro del aprendizaje de la lengua, es ideal que los docentes y estudiantes entiendan que aprender a leer en voz alta es un proceso. En otras palabras, es fundamental que se vaya paso a paso y que se tengan en cuenta las distintas habilidades que comprende leer en público.Finalmente, el estudio evidencia una respuesta positiva por parte de la implementación de la gimnasia cerebral, puesto que los niños potencian sus habilidades comunicativas y fortalecen las relaciones intra e interpersonales. Así mismo, permite que el docente brinde el acompañamiento constante, asociado a la reflexión, flexibilidad, respeto y empatía reconociendo que se pueden equivocar y que estos errores se deben solucionar con calma, con el fin de mejorar los procesos en cuanto a la entonación, fluidez, volumen de voz y pronunciación, ya que no, solo se trata de leer en voz alta, sino de enseñar a los niños a leer en voz alta.

Por consiguiente, las actividades que se realizan a través de estas estrategias generan un aprendizaje independiente en el que el estudiante aprovecha sus talentos para crear contenido en el aula dando paso al aprendizaje autónomo e innovador basado en problemas reales y cotidianos.
Un resplandor en el desierto
Authors: Medici Matías Esteban
Published: December 2020

Mediante el presente trabajo indago, desde la perspectiva del filósofo Josep Maria Esquirol en su obra La resistencia íntima: Ensayo de una filosofía de la proximidad (2015), el articulado de la representación de la intemperie del hombre contemporáneo en 2666 a partir de la idea de desierto y fronteras; asimismo, utilizo el concepto de cura del alma –ciñiéndome también a la definición de Foucault sobre el cuidado de uno mismo– para desplegar otra de las cuestiones en la obra en análisis: la resistencia como alternativa, desde el arte y la memoria.
Líneas temáticas en los cuentos de Murakami
Authors: CASTELLÓN ALCALÁ Heraclia
Published: December 2020

El trabajo aborda el conjunto de relatos cortos de Murakami traducidos al español, un total de cincuenta y cinco cuentos, recogidos -salvo uno- en cuatro volúmenes compilatorios: El elefante desaparece, Sauce ciego, mujer dormida, Después del terremoto y Hombres sin mujeres. Se busca reconocer la singularidad de cada una de estas obras, y al mismo tiempo las marcas propias de la narrativa del autor. Para ello, se atiende básicamente al panorama temático  que cada una de estas compilaciones ofrece.  Es pertinente rastrear cómo se ha pergeñado cada uno de estos libros, y los vínculos que pudieran encontrarse con la obra global del autor. Junto al registro del material temático, interesa tener en cuenta el posible empleo de procedimientos narrativos señaladamente murakamianos.
El plagio literario y sus polémicas:
Authors: Pereyra Soledad
Published: December 2020

En este artículo se propone el análisis de las novelas Bolivia Construcciones (2006) de Bruno Morales, pseudónimo del argentino Sergio Di Nucci, y Axolotl Roadkill (2010) de la alemana Helene Hegemann. Se trata de dos novelas que coinciden en iniciar a los autores en sus carreras literarias, en tanto escritores reconocidos, que además fueron positivamente leídas inicialmente, reconociendo su valor literario, que además resultaron innovadoras dentro de sus campos literarios nacionales por las temáticas que abordaban a través de la ficción, aunque luego, muy rápidamente, fueron desvaloradas por acusaciones de plagio. El plagio como concepto de valoración impone aquí como una variable de la lectura literaria que resulta divergente con los modos (especialmente actuales) de escritura.  A través del análisis textual en relación con las acusaciones de plagio que enfrentaron y de la consideración de las polémicas literarias a su alrededor desde la sociología literaria, exploramos las implicaciones del debate, la legitimidad de la categoría de plagio como definidora de valor y la potencialidad de nociones más cercanas a los modos de la escritura ultracontemporánea, tales como la de escrituras no-creativas de Goldsmith.
El misterio en las "Rimas" de Juan Ramón desde Bécquer
Authors: Olive Laia
Published: December 2020

Las Rimas juanramonianas retoman los hilos del libro de Bécquer con el mismo título a partir de la dicotomía alma y cuerpo en clara preferencia por la primera y rechazo hacia el segundo. El misterio, aquello que el hombre desconoce, pero entrevé —sobre todo el poeta—, se cuela en ambas obras a través de formas vagas pertenecientes a lo espiritual y a lo muerto. Con tal de desenmarañar los nudos que lo misterioso teje en ellas, este artículo indaga sobre los dos mundos que se configuran en ambos poemarios, el del alma y la muerte por un lado y el del cuerpo y la vida por el otro; se analiza su relación a través del poeta, quien siente una «llamada» del primero y cuya atracción por él lo lleva al «éxtasis»; y finalmente se trata la posible superación de ambos mundos a través del sueño.
On the Post-Ubaid stratigraphy and complex architecture of the Birecik Dam Area (Turkish Euphrates): Surtepe and Tilbes-Körche Late Chalcolithic 1 levels
Authors: Gil Fuensanta Jesús , Mederos Martín Alfredo , Uktamovich Muminov Otabek
Published: December 2020

During the Later Prehistory of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers and adjacent regions, a great cultural spread took place during the Late/Terminal Ubaid phases of Southern Mesopotamia. In the Northern Mesopotamian regions, it happened during the immediate pre-Late Chalcolithic phases. Excavations in Southeastern Turkey prove a continuity of Ubaid cultural traits at least during the earlier phases of the local Late Chalcolithic (LC1). Two archaeological sites, Surtepe and Tilbes-Körche, close to the Birecik Dam area (Turkish Euphrates) are presented and evaluated here. Surtepe höyük, a 8 ha Late Ubaid settlement that provided Coba bowls, has levels with painted pottery from the late Late Chalcolithic 1 or earlier LC 2 phases in an area of at least 4 hectares in south and southwestern slopes. The small site of Tilbes-Körche has probably a bigger inter-connected structure and no simple isolated buildings. Among the stone foundations we identify at least one tripartite premise with a surface over 90 m2 and two bipartite buildings. From the largest excavated unit (H3-H10) was recovered a stamp seal depicting a crosshatching motif and another token/stamp seal with 8 incised lines. Within LC1 or a transitional phase between it and LC2, the 18 % of the pottery found in the Tilbes-Körche buildings was painted and there is a huge abundance of unpainted bowls, which are about half the ceramic ensemble, many with traces of a wheel or slow-wheel, mass-produced bowls, various variants of LC1 flint scraped, and two that most resemble the so-called “flower pots”.
A ocupação Pré-histórica do Cabeço de Caria Talaia (Sabugal, Portugal)
Authors: Vilaça Raquel , Osório Marcos , Fernandes Diana , Bottaini Carlo , Silva Sofia
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo realizou-se uma abordagem à ocupação Pré-histórica do Cabeço de Caria Talaia, no concelho do Sabugal (Portugal). A intervenção arqueológica desenvolvida em 2008 e 2009 determinou a natureza e a cronologia dessa ocupação, de uma fase avançada entre o Bronze Médio e os inícios do Bronze Final. Apesar do mau estado de conservação das estruturas, os trabalhos permitiram assinalar um local de habitação e, entre os materiais recuperados, um significativo conjunto de cerâmicas, mas também elas bastante fragmentadas, cujas formas e motivos decorativos se inserem na tradição das produções de proto-Cogotas e Cogotas I. Com base nestes conceitos, analisam-se e discutem-se detalhes sobre a sua posição geográfica e a sua relação com o território, procurando compreender o seu enquadramento na Beira Interior, no limite mais ocidental da Meseta e, consequentemente, na periferia do complexo mundo de Cogotas I.
La “frontera” sureste del territorio vacceo en los siglos II-I a. C. Propuesta de definición
Authors: Blanco García Juan Francisco
Published: December 2020

En general, y aunque discrepancias no faltan, conocemos relativamente bien los límites del territorio vacceo, pero aún están por concretar tramo a tramo. En este trabajo nos vamos a centrar en el sector sureste del mismo y en una fase específica: los siglos II-I a. C., que son aquellos para los que mejores datos tenemos, tanto arqueológicos como de los autores clásicos. Más que una línea demarcatoria o “frontera” entre el territorio vacceo y el arévaco, por el lado oriental, y entre aquél y el vettón, por el meridional, entendemos que los límites debieron de ser amplios espacios abiertos, terrenos de nadie, entre entidades ciudadanas fronterizas completamente autónomas desde el punto de vista político. Aplicando a los núcleos urbanos fronterizos criterios geográficos, medioambientales, paleoeconómicos y, por supuesto, los relativos a la cultura material, creemos que es posible establecer diferencias que nos permiten ajustar los espacios entre etnias vecinas.
The Sábana de Santa Eufemia from the cathedral of Ourense. A healing tissue
Authors: Lavesa Martín‑Serrano Asunción
Published: December 2020

This paper is a report of the first archaeological research ever carried out on the so?called “Sábana de Santa Eufemia”. It is a very well?preserved embroidery in white from the reliquary of Saint Euphemia in the Cathedral of Ourense (Galicia, Spain), which is currently kept in the Cathedral Museum. The textile shows a very lavish decoration formed by an array of motifs taken from different cultural traditions. This point leads to think it was made in post?medieval times by someone who was familiar with medieval cloths of honour which were probably part of the Cathedral Treasury.
Cyborg as a Destroyer of G. Agamben’s Anthropological Machine
Authors: Dementavičienė Augustė , Dranseika Donatas
Published: December 2020

The ambition of this paper is to reason the consistency and logical coherence of the concept of Giorgio Agamben‘s anthropological machine. The important puzzle is that although Agamben emphasized the importance of having this machine destroyed, he did not suggest any clear and specific way to achieve it. The concept of a cyborg, developed by Donna Haraway, has been introduced to rethink the anthropological machine through the eyes of the cyborg. So, the main question of this paper is: whether or not the destruction of the anthropological machine is possible using the concept of the cyborg? The cyborg has been chosen because it blurs the boundaries among various oppositions. Oppositions (e.g. animal / human, man / woman, public / private) are exactly what the anthropological machine establishes, moreover, it also empowers itself through the existence of those oppositions. Cyborg has material substance inside its own “body” right from the beginning, so through this understanding we can incorporate the questions about the environment (broadly understood) and the self in every cyborg. The cyborgs, paraphrasing Haraway, are very good at cat’s cradle game when the interactions could be seen very clearly between our everyday acts and some global or political issues.
