Published: December 2024

Aulas práticas de Ciências desempenham um papel crucial no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, permitindo a abordagem de temas diversos de forma dinâmica. Este artigo apresenta resultados obtidos a partir da implementação de uma Sequência Didática sobre biologia aquática e a biodiversidade em uma gota de água. A sequência foi estruturada em aulas expositivas e dialogadas, além de atividades práticas experimentais, incluindo coleta, cultivo e análise de microrganismos. A aplicação ocorreu em três turmas de 30 alunos do sexto ano da Educação Básica, em um colégio público na cidade de Belém, estado do Pará. Os resultados foram avaliados por meio de questionários contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas, aplicados antes e após o desenvolvimento da sequência didática. Os resultados revelaram que dos 90 alunos envolvidos, 73 mudaram suas concepções iniciais, reconhecendo a vasta quantidade e diversidade de vida presente em uma gota de água. Essa mudança de percepção contribuiu para o processo de construção de conhecimento dos alunos acerca das dimensões da vida em ambientes aquáticos continentais, promovendo a sensibilização e a importância do cuidado e da preservação do meio ambiente.
Dos livros impressos ao podcast: a palavra dialógica na esfera digital
Authors: Silva Orlando Dias da
Published: December 2024

O presente resumo investiga as transformações do comportamento da palavra na transição dos livros impressos para os podcasts, destacando os impactos na leitura e na construção de sentidos plurais na comunicação. Fundamentado no referencial teórico do círculo bakhtiniano, especialmente nas noções de dialogismo e heterodiscurso, o estudo analisa como a palavra, mesmo ao transitar entre suportes distintos, mantém sua essência dialógica, adaptando-se às esferas digitais sem perder sua unidade per excellence. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, utilizando análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com leitores e ouvintes de podcasts. A justificativa reside na necessidade de compreender os novos métodos de apropriação da palavra, à medida que a sociedade contemporânea vivencia um cenário tecnológico dinâmico e interativo, propiciando experiências de leitura que transcendem a materialidade dos livros impressos. Os resultados apontam que, embora o podcast promova uma experiência auditiva diferente da leitura tradicional, a palavra dialógica continua a desempenhar um papel central, permeando diversas esferas sociais e comunicativas. Observa-se que o podcast não substitui o livro impresso, mas amplia os modos de interação com a palavra, criando sentidos heterodiscursivos e formas de responsividade. Conclui-se que a palavra dialoga com o grande tempo e com a inovação tecnológica, mantendo sua natureza heterodiscursiva e heterogênea, essencial na construção de significados em qualquer contexto ou suporte.

A síndrome metabólica é maior na população idosa, sendo responsável por um aumento de 2,5 vezes o risco para doenças cardiovasculares e de cinco vezes para o desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus. O uso de métodos antropométricos para determinar a saúde e doença sempre foi uma preocupação entre pesquisadores, porque são de baixo custo, não invasivos e de fácil aplicação clínica. Desta forma, este estudo teve como objetivo determinar o somatotipo predominante em idosos com síndrome metabólica (SM). A amostra foi composta por idosos com 60 idosos ou mais que foram divididos em dois grupos: Grupo controle (n=29) e grupo SM (31). Para determinar a SM foi utilizado o critério da CEP-ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III) e o somatotipo foi obtido usando o método de Heath e Carter. A análise do somatotipo demonstrou que a endomorfia foi o somatotipo predominante em idosos com SM (SM= 8,4 ± 1,1 vs GC= 5,75 ± 1,88 p ≤ 0,01) seguido da mesomorfia (SM= 5,85 ± 1,34 vs GC= 4,39 ± 1,39 p ≤ 0,01) e ectomorfia (SM= 0,17 ± 0,21 vs GC= 0,82 ± 0,78 p ≤0,01) quando comparado com o grupo controle. A endomorfia foi o somatótipo de Gordura corporal predominante em idosos com SM, seguido por mesomorfia e Ectomorfia. Além disso, é um método de baixo custo e de fácil aplicação clínica.

Esta pesquisa abordou a prescrição de Medicamentos Isentos de Prescrição MIPs, pelo fisioterapeuta no tratamento de afecções traumáticas ortopédicas. O Acórdão-Coffito Nº 735, de 10 de Setembro de 2024, normatizou a utilização e/ou indicação de substâncias de livre prescrição pelo fisioterapeuta, sendo estas os MIPs, esses medicamentos são disponíveis em farmácias e drogarias para comercialização. No entanto, os MIPs contêm todos os requisitos de segurança, qualidade e eficácia exigidos pela vigilância sanitária. E as afecções traumáticas ortopédicas, representa um amplo aspecto de condições que podem afetar o sistema neuromuscular, dentre as condições destacam-se a importância do fisioterapeuta na recuperação e no alívio dos sintomas dos pacientes, englobando lesões agudas e crônicas. Neste artigo serão discutidos os benefícios e os desafios da prescrição dos MIPs por fisioterapeutas, considerando a segurança, a eficácia e a legalidade do tratamento, essas condições geram impactos significativos na vida dos pacientes, resultando em dores e limitação funcional o que gera incapacidade na execução de atividades diárias. Diante desta complexidade, o ideal é realizar uma abordagem multidisciplinar, na qual o fisioterapeuta desempenha um papel importante em várias abordagens terapêuticas incluindo técnicas de mobilização e manipulação, exercícios, além de recursos terapêuticos e manuais. Entretanto, para uma melhor recuperação, são necessárias outras intervenções para o tratamento, sendo o uso de medicações para a redução da inflamação, alívio da dor e cicatrização. Então, surgem os Medicamentos Isentos de Prescrição como uma opção terapêutica acessível, desempenhando um papel importante nas afecções traumáticas ortopédicas.
Corruption as an illicit violation of human rights: education as prevention
Authors: Júnior Américo Bedê Freire , Miranda Gustavo Senna
Published: December 2024

This study aims to reflect on how education can act as an important preventive instrument against the problem of corruption, which is one of the most serious obstacles to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil and, consequently, to human rights. Thus, we initially sought to position public corruption as an illicit act of a diffuse nature, an understanding that is necessary to have an accurate notion of the gravity of the problem. Subsequently, it was necessary to make a brief incursion into the harmful effects of corruption, effects that always need to be remembered to reveal how harmful corruption is to the protection and realization of human rights, seriously compromising democratic promises. Finally, we sought to highlight how educational deficits end up being a decisive factor in the proliferation of corruption, thus requiring an understanding of the important role of education as an instrument of citizen empowerment and as an antidote to corruption.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo relatar a experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem do sexto período da graduação nas ações de prevenção e controle do câncer de mama realizadas em uma policlínica do SUS durante a campanha do Outubro Rosa, no município de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. O grupo de acadêmicos elaborou dois materiais didáticos, sendo um folder e um cartaz utilizando recursos visuais acessíveis, considerando a baixa escolaridade de parte dos usuários da unidade de saúde. No dia da ação, os materiais foram usados a partir de uma abordagem prática e interativa, com distribuição de folders e explicações diretas, além de discussões guiadas com apoio do cartaz ilustrativo. As usuárias da unidade participaram ativamente, tiraram dúvidas e levaram os folders para compartilhar com familiares, ampliando o impacto da ação educativa.  Os resultados da atividade demonstraram que, embora 80% das mulheres realizem o autoexame de mama, havia dúvidas sobre a técnica, sinais de alerta e idade para exames preventivos, evidenciando a falta de informação. Além disso, expressaram dificuldades no acesso a consultas, exames, tratamentos pelo SUS e ausência de assistência psicológica. A experiência de educação em saúde permitiu aos estudantes refletir sobre a importância de ações criativas na prevenção do câncer de mama e aprimorar sua formação profissional. A atividade teve impacto positivo na população, destacando a relevância de iniciativas educativas claras e acessíveis, que devem ser mantidas e atualizadas para atender às necessidades da comunidade.

Prognostic Value of Blood Parameters in Patients Diagnosed with Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Cerebrovascular Events
Authors: Ayten Sema
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION
Cerebral infarction is defined as an acute neurological injury stroke that occurs as a result of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). 80-85% of stroke cases are ischemic group. Hemorrhagic stroke is responsible for approximately 10-30% of these cases. Studies have shown that the inflammatory response that occurs exacerbates ischemic brain injury and neurological dysfunction.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients who were admitted to a tertiary state hospital in Istanbul in the last six months and diagnosed with stroke were retrospectively analyzed. Blood samples taken at the time of admission of 116 patients with stroke diagnosed in the study were examined and neutrophil and lymphocyte values in the complete blood count were used in the study. Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratios (NLR) were calculated by subtracting these values. Hospitalization times of the patients were recorded. The correlation of NLR values of the cases with the length of hospital stay was examined.

RESULTS
Of the 116 patients included in the study, 100 had ischemic stroke and 16 had hemorrhagic stroke. Of the cases examined, 63 were male and 53 were female. The mean age was 71.6±11.6 years. There was no statistically significant difference between hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke groups in terms of age and gender. We examined the correlation between the length of hospital stay and NLR values of the patients. We found that there was no statistically significant correlation between length of stay and NLR in ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke patient groups. Likewise, when we examined the length of hospitalization and NLR levels, we showed that there was no weak and statistically significant correlation.

CONCLUSION
Although there are many studies in the literature showing that high neutrophil and low lymphocyte values have a negative effect on mortality and morbidity, there are also studies that have not been shown to have an effect as in our study.

Published: December 2024

The firing of a shot by an officer in a public place, during an operation to apprehend a criminal,involves the risk of shooting bystanders in dynamic situations, which can occur in public placesor in flats and homes. Therefore, it is important to reduce the likelihood of such situations, andtherefore the development of a bullet design with a penetration depth of about 30 cm (in ballisticgelatine) and a reduction in ricocheting was initiated. The aim of this article was to find whetherthe size and shape of the air void in a JHP bullet design determines the size and manner ofexpansion. In this article, the authors presented the design of such bullets, discussed the principleof operation and conducted a ballistic experiment on the behaviour of JHP bullets in a denserthan-air environment. The chosen method (ballistic experiment) allowed the authors to obtainresults on the expansion of such bullets, provided information on energy transfer or the mode ofpenetration (movement of the bullet) in a denser-than-air medium. The choice of JHP-type bulletsused in the study was limited due to the availability of a commercially available range.

The Vistula River and its left naturally formed right bank are an integral part of Warsaw’s landscape.Unique and picturesque on a European scale, it forms a green corridor protected by Natura 2000.This area offers a number of possibilities and still undiscovered and inaccessible places. Increasingaccessibility should become a remedy for activating and recognizing their potential, as everyappearance of users leaves a mark of domestication and inclusion in social functioning. Thesereflections attempt to initiate a discussion on managing challenging areas in the urban landscapeand extracting their spatial-landscape potential. It is worth defining the role that could be played byriverbank areas in sustainable development processes and the lives of demanding urban residents.The aim of this discussion is to present a land-use concept preceded by an analysis of the possibilityof integrating unused riverbank areas under the bridges into recreational functioning. These areasoffer an enormous spatial and landscape potential. An example of this is the area of the VistulaRiver under and around the Anna Jagiellonka Bridge in the Warsaw district of Wawer.The design proposal is also a response to the deficit of social integration spaces, as well as therestoration and increased accessibility of this area on the river side. With a creative approach tomanaging riverbank areas, a unique public space can be created here, which would be an attractiveviewpoint of the Warsaw skyline, emphasizing its identity as the southern gateway to the city.

The article presents results of research on the involvementof the military in crisis management, taking into account an analysis of literature, case studies anddocument review. Based on a survey of available scientific publications, legal acts and reports oninvolving the military in crisis operations, the key roles of the military in this area were identified.An analysis of official documents and reports allowed identifying areas for further improvement.
SELECTED ASPECTS OF EMPLOYMENT IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION – LEGISLATIVE INCONSISTENCIES
Authors: KOCIOŁEK-PĘKSA Anna
Published: December 2024

The article presents a legal and comparative reconstruction of the types of employment inpublic administration in Poland. It shows the features that distinguish the sources and essenceof administrative and legal employment relationships from non-administrative-law servicerelationships and from contractual employment relationships. The aim of the article was to pointout legislative inconsistencies in regulating the basis for establishing employment relationshipsin public administration. This inconsistency was illustrated using the example of changes inthe employment of academic teachers in higher education institutions in Poland based on theprovisions of the Law on Higher Education and Science, which has been amended a numberof times. It has been shown that the employment relationships of academic teachers, despitebeing formally contractual, are in fact characterized by so many administrative and legalelements that they meet conditions for recognizing them as relationships established on the basisof appointment. The conclusion of the considerations will come down to the formulation of thede lege ferenda postulate for legislative intervention by the amendment in the current regime/legal sources of employment of academic teachers. It is proposed that the sources of establishingemployment relationships for academic teachers be expanded to include sources that ensurea minimum standard of legal security in terms of the stability and predictability of employmentrequired when employing public officials who are academic teacher.

Authors: Seid Mohammed Adefa , Gebeyehu Marshet Nigatu
Published: December 2024

Plants exhibit phenotypic plasticity, which means they can adapt their morphology in response to changes in the environment. The objective of this study was to assess the extent of morphological variations among different seed sources of Vachellia abyssinica and Cordia africana in Ethiopia. A total of 26 populations from natural vegetation for V. abyssinica and 58 populations for C. africana from farmlands were surveyed between 2019 and 2020. We computed hierarchical clustering (HC), one-way ANOVA with a significance level of p≤0.05, and redundancy analysis (RDA). The HC analysis resulted in five cluster groups for V. abyssinica, based on parameters such as height and DBH. The one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in mean height and DBH among these cluster groups. The RDA showed that annual mean temperature (Bio01) and mean diurnal range (Bio02) have a highly significant impact on the morphological variability among the populations of V. abyssinica (p=0.001***). Similarly, we identified three cluster groups for C. africana based on height and DBH parameters. The one-way ANOVA demonstrated significant differences in mean height and DBH among these cluster groups. The RDA indicated that Bio02 had a very significant effect on the morphological variability among the populations of C. africana (p=0.01**), followed by Isothermality (Bio03) with a significant effect (p≤0.05*). The findings of this study can be applied to the management and domestication of V. abyssinica and C. africana.

Authors: Seid Mohammed Adefa , Wondimu Tigist , Degu Asfaw , Assefa Awol
Published: December 2024

The stony endocarp and impermeable seed coat of Ziziphus, including fleshy mesocarp inhibit seed germination in both genera. In present study effects of different pre-sowing treatments on seed germination of Z. spina-christi and Z. mucronata was studied. Seeds of each species were collected from the Central and Southern Rift Valley and Northeast Ethiopia. Seeds of each Ziziphus species, after being divided into cracked and uncracked seed-stone groups were subjected to eight different pre-sowing treatments and planted in pots. The mean germination percentage (GP), mean daily germination (GD), mean germination time (GT), and mean germination index (GI), as well as two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (THSD), were computed. The two-way ANOVA showed that there exists a significant mean difference among treatment groups under all germination parameters at p<0.05 for both species. The THSD for Z. spina-christi showed that the highest GP was achieved by cracked seed stones soaked in cold water for 48 hours at a room temperature of 25°C (52.7±6), control (48.5±3), soaked in cold water for 24 hours at a room temperature of 25°C (46.5±5.7), and rubbed with sandpaper (41±12.1), which are significantly different at p<0.05, while the highest GI was recorded by cracked seed stones soaked in cold water for 48 hours at a room temperature of 25°C (1.3±0.2), which is significantly different at p<0.05. The THSD for Z. mucronata indicated that the highest GP, along with the highest GI, was achieved by cracked seed stones soaked in 98% H2SO4 for 20 minutes and subsequently rinsed with water (28.5±6), which is significantly different at p<0.05. Overall, the findings of this study will contribute to potential seed enhancement technologies for Ziziphus, with greater implications for the propagation, conservation, and sustainable utilization of the species in the agricultural and pastoral communities of Ethiopia.

HESÍODO: O SENTIDO EDUCACIONAL DE SUA DEFESA DA JUSTIÇA DIVINA E DO TRABALHO
Authors: Melo José , Soares Marcelo , Jorge Welington
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar Os trabalhos e os dias de Hesíodo (700 a. C.), que pede a Zeus para que, com sua justiça superior, corrija a justiça na terra, ao mesmo tempo em que procura convencer o irmão Perses a abandonar a demanda judicial relacionada à herança paterna e dedicar-se a uma vida digna e virtuosa, voltada ao trabalho e ao respeito a justiça. Em sua argumentação, está desenvolvido um modelo de vida, com base no qual o homem poderia agir e se posicionar na sociedade grega, cuja crise já apontava para transformações sociais. Portanto, em termos metodológicos, esta reflexão não se limita ao problema pessoal de Hesíodo, mas contempla questões maiores que pautavam aquele momento histórico, compondo um palco de luta e de demandas jurídicas e sociais. Privilegiou-se a relação que o autor estabeleceu entre religião e justiça e justiça e trabalho, bem como suas considerações a respeito da educação agrária e da justiça. A discussão contida no artigo se justifica porque o tema envolve uma sociedade dividida na qual indivíduos e grupos de interesse, motivações políticas e ideológicas punham a justiça em descrédito quando esta não atendia a seus interesses.

Sulfadoxina em combinação com a trimetoprima são comumente usadas para terapia antimicrobiana de amplo espectro na medicina veterinária. Embora a resistência generalizada limite o uso em ruminantes, a combinação ainda é útil no tratamento de infecções gastrointestinais e respiratórias em bezerros, incluindo a colibacilose neonatal. O perfil farmacocinético da sulfadoxina e da trimetoprima difere um do outro devido às suas propriedades químicas: a sulfadoxina atua como ácido fraco enquanto a trimetoprima é uma base fraca, concentrando-se assim em diferentes locais no organismo. A sulfadoxina e a trimetoprima são dois agentes antimicrobianos que frequentemente são usados em combinação devido aos seus diferentes mecanismos de ação, atuando sinergicamente contra infecções bacterianas. As bulas, tanto de empresas nacionais quanto internacionais, afirmam que o produto farmacêutico contendo os dois antibióticos possui como alvo de ação o tratamento de doenças respiratórias e gastrointestinais em bovinos e equinos. Um dos grandes desafios está relacionado ao fato de que os antibióticos produzidos pela indústria farmacêutica resultam em resíduos de antibióticos no meio ambiente, tanto em corpos d'água quanto no solo. Esses resíduos contaminam a cadeia alimentar, afetando os peixes, crustáceos e até mesmo organismos como o Tetrahymena pyriformis, protozoário amplamente distribuído em ambientes de água doce. Este mecanismo de contaminação é muito preocupante porque não apenas compromete a saúde dos ecossistemas, como também afetará os seres humanos que consomem os alimentos contaminados. O estudo Toxicológico in silico revelou que os compostos não apresentaram toxicidade ao Teste AMES, não apresentaram carcinogenicidade e não possuem Toxicidade Aguda Oral.

From the very beginning, the proclamation of Allah's words has been the primary obligation of man, and a series of Prophets completed this task. Still, the revivalists and promulgators of Allah's message have been on the verge of the history of Islam periodically. One of them is Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, who promulgated the Islamic teachings through his unique style of poetry for the revival of Islamic teachings. The basic inclination of Iqbal is towards the pronouncement of Allah’s message to Muslim as well as non-Muslim societies. By different figures of speech, including similes, metaphors, and symbolism, Iqbal pointed out the new meanings related to the proclamation of Allah’s message. The purpose of this article is to explore the aforementioned implications of Iqbal’s poetry.
Hybrid Communication Architecture Based on Hierarchical Computing for Low Voltage Power Network Automation in Developing Countries
Authors: Chugulu Godfrey
Published: December 2024

Utility companies in developing countries, such as Tanzania, have made significant advancements in automating the generation, transmission, and primary distribution segments of their electrical grids. However, automation in the Low Voltage Power Network (LVPN) remains minimal and largely unmonitored, leading to manual fault management that results in losses and inconveniences for both utilities and customers. Effective Smart Grid (SG) infrastructure relies on seamless communication between end-devices and controlling systems to ensure timely execution of critical applications. Key SG applications for LVPN automation include Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Distributed Energy Resource (DER) coordination, and Distribution Automation (DA), each with specific latency requirements that must be met. Current architectures outlined in the literature present challenges for utility companies attempting to implement these applications while satisfying latency criteria for automation. This paper introduces a hybrid communication architecture based on a three-level hierarchical computing model specifically designed for LVPN automation. Laboratory results indicate that this architecture achieves an average delay of 7.059ms, significantly below the maximum allowable latency of 20ms for AMI, DER, and DA which demonstrates the architecture's capability for effective LVPN automation.
Consumo de noticias en Cuba: prácticas de los públicos nacionales
Authors: Despaigne Ramírez Yanelys , Rodríguez Suárez Milaidys
Published: December 2024

La relación entre medios y audiencias en Cuba se caracteriza por la desconexión entre agenda mediática y reflejo de la vida cotidiana. Tal brecha ha mellado la credibilidad de las fuentes nacionales ante un público que ahora dispone de una creciente variedad de opciones para informarse. Este artículo recoge los resultados de una reciente investigación que describe rasgos fundamentales de las prácticas de consumo de información noticiosa de los públicos cubanos; además, describe comportamientos asociados al consumo de falsas noticias y a la credibilidad de las fuentes más utilizadas. Siguiendo una perspectiva cuantitativa, se encuestó una muestra representativa de todas las provincias del país. Como conclusiones destaca la prevalencia de la variable etaria en la delineación de los consumos de noticias; así como el mantenimiento de una percepción mayoritaria sobre los medios oficiales como fuentes legítimas y creíbles ante sus audiencias, a pesar de las críticas a su desempeño.
Neka futurološka pitanja suvremenog čovječanstva
Authors: Hadžiselimović Rifat
Published: December 2024

Današnje čovječanstvo predstavlja samo aktuelno stanje u praktično beskonačnom, kontinuiranom nizu prošlih, savremenih i budućih generacija ljudske vrste, u kontinuitetu njene evolucije. Moguće je da je čovjek, već s pojavom prvih oblika potpune svijesti o sebi i svom okruženju, odnosno o svom bitku i bitisanju, počeo nastojati da pronikne u svoju prošlost; međutim, u budućnost se, čini se, zagledao tek onda kada je bio egzistencijalno ugrožen vlastitim aktivnostima, ponašanjem i društvenim odnosima.Definitivnim odbacivanjem finalističkih i antropocentričnih ideja o čovjeku kao osnovnom i krajnjem cilju sveukupne organske evolucije, otvorila su se mnoga značajna i provokativno inspirativna pitanja iz oblasti biološke budućnosti vrste Homo sapiens. Pokušaji da se pronađu odgovori na najatraktivnija futurološka pitanja postepeno su uklonili ranije (vještačke) dileme o odnosima faktora biološke i kulturološke evolucije, tj. o mogućoj predominaciji jednih ili drugih u mikroevolucijskim tokovima savremenog i budućeg čovječanstva; danas se biološki i kulturni uspon ljudske vrste shvataju kao nedjeljive komponente njenog jedinstvenog evolucijskog sistema u općoj ekonomiji prirode. U mnoštvu futuroloških pitanja biologije čovjeka, posebnu pažnju privlače projekcije mogućeg fizičkog izgleda i konstitucije, kao i same “gole” egzistencije. U ovoj sferi posebno su aktuelizirana pitanja demografske eksplozije, ekološke krize i potencijala globalnog ili ograničenog nuklearnog rata.
El complejo de las figuras humanas asociadas a ofidios barbados en la estatuaria de las culturas del Centro de Veracruz
Authors:   Museo de Antropología de Xalapa, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Veracruz, México, Huckert Chantal
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se presenta el análisis de un complejo de seres humanos asociados a ofidios reproducidos en la cerámica moldeada de las culturas del Centro de Veracruz durante el período Clásico Tardío (650-900 años DC). La investigación se basa en fragmentos y piezas completas existentes en el Museo de Antropología de Xalapa y restituye la narrativa en la que humanos empoderados de ofidios barba- dos actúan en rituales agrícolas y prácticas sacrificiales. Para la identificación de los componentes del complejo se aplica el método comparativo entre sus antecesores olmecas y sus contemporáneos de las culturas zapoteca y maya.
historia de unos pucos “Gemelos”. El desconocido rol de Francisco Cornely como "proto-restaurador"
Authors: De la Calle Morales Felipe , Echeverría González Juan Francisco
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se expone el recorrido histórico de dos piezas arqueológicas idénticas” diaguita fase III, que, luego de ser excavadas, fueron intervenidas de manera imitativa una primera vez, y luego sólo una de ellas recibió una segunda restauración que la distanció estéticamente de su “gemela”. Con esto se busca evidenciar la existencia de numerosas cerámicas intervenidas así en el Museo Arqueológico de La Serena y el Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino. Se identifica también a Francisco Cornely como pionero en la práctica restaurativa dentro de la arqueología chilena, se describe su técnica utilizada mediante el estudio imagenológico y arqueométrico de algunas piezas seleccionadas y en base a grupos descriptivos de las distintas formas de intervenir imitativamente. Además, se describen los contextos específicos en que fueron restauradas las piezas y sus posibles intenciones, como un aporte al escaso estudio existente de la historia de la Conservación-restauración en Chile.
Descifrar el objeto técnico: notas y propuestas sobre un artefacto de hueso de la costa del desierto de Atacama
Authors: Ballester Benjamin
Published: December 2024

Se reporta el estudio de una serie de artefactos de hueso recuperados en sitios arqueológicos de la costa de la región de Antofagasta, al norte de Chile. Pese a ser piezas poco habituales para la zona, son conocidas y ya habían sido previamente caracterizadas como puntas de armas de caza, específicamente de lanzas y arpones. Sin embargo, luego del análisis detallado de cada una de ellas y de su comparación con algunos objetos completos identificados en colecciones arqueológicas de museos en el extranjero, se ofrece una propuesta alternativa respecto de su función y tecnología, entendidas como parte de un ensamblaje mayor en una clase completamente distinta de objeto técnico del mar.
