Published: February 2025

Cervical cancer belongs to the most dangerous types of cancers posing considerable threat to women’s survival. It is most often diagnosed in the advanced stages as precancerous lesions are often symptom-free and difficult to identify. Microwave imaging, especially in terahertz (THz) range, is a convenient and noninvasive cancer detection tool. It enables characterization of biological tissues and discrimination between healthy and malignant ones. This study presents a novel triple-band biosensor based on metamaterials (MTMs). By leveraging unique properties of MTMs, the proposed biosensor operates as a perfect absorber. It exploits resonant modes in the THz spectrum to achieve remarkable sensitivity. Meticulous selection of the sensor geometry and dimensions enables efficient miniaturization. Meanwhile, utilization of frequency-domain data to detect refractive index changes improves resolution of cancerous tissue identification. Extensive numerical investigations corroborate its ability to carry out reliable early-stage cervical cancer diagnosis. This includes identification of the spatial extent of the malignant tissue. Excellent electrical properties of the sensor are accompanied by its compact size, which is highly desirable for non-invasive and portable applications.
Peer effects among friends on students’ cognitive abilities: An analysis based on emotional distance
Authors: Zhou Wenyi , Xie Junming , Kuang Jinsong , Feng Yongqing , Madsen Dag Øivind
Published: February 2025

In contemporary society, students’ cognitive abilities are crucial for the accumulation of human capital. Consequently, significant concern has been expressed regarding the impact of peer effects among friends on students’ cognitive abilities. Based on the "China Education Tracking Survey" data, we discuss peer effects among friends on students’ cognitive abilities from the perspective of Emotional Distance Analysis. Our study shows that: (1) Students’ average scores could be actively affected by the increase in the number of friends with good grades. (2) Peer effects among friends are in accord with different students. Such effects are more easily exerted among female students and those with better average grades or local household registration. (3) The mechanism study found that the conduction effect of peer effects among friends mainly relies on two paths. One is manifested as the “compliance effect”. In other words, to align with their friends, students increase their study time, raise their educational aspirations, and minimize instances of skipping classes and absenteeism. The other channel is the “anchoring effect,” which involves raising parents’ reference standards, leading them to devote more time and energy to their children’s learning. Therefore, the rational use of social interaction with friends is a vital approach to enhancing students’ cognitive abilities.
The auxin phenylacetic acid induces NIN expression in the actinorhizal plant Datisca glomerata, whereas cytokinin acts antagonistically
Authors: Salgado Marco Guedes , Maity Pooja Jha , Lundin Daniel , Pawlowski Katharina
Published: February 2025

All nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses of angiosperms–legume and actinorhizal symbioses–possess a common ancestor. Molecular processes for the induction of root nodules are modulated by phytohormones, as is the case of the first nodulation-related transcription factor NODULE INCEPTION (NIN), whose expression can be induced by exogenous cytokinin in legumes. The process of actinorhizal nodule organogenesis is less well understood. To study the changes exerted by phytohormones on the expression of the orthologs of CYCLOPS, NIN, and NF-YA1 in the actinorhizal host Datisca glomerata, an axenic hydroponic system was established and used to examine the transcriptional responses (RT-qPCR) in roots treated with the synthetic cytokinin 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), the natural auxin Phenylacetic acid (PAA), and the synthetic auxin 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The model legume Lotus japonicus was used as positive control. Molecular readouts for auxins and cytokinin were established: DgSAUR1 for PAA, DgGH3.1. for NAA, and DgARR9 for BAP. L. japonicus NIN was induced by BAP, PAA, and NAA in a dosage- and time-dependent manner. While expression of D. glomerata NIN2 could not be induced in roots, D. glomerata NIN1 was induced by PAA; this induction was abolished in the presence of exogenous BAP. Furthermore, the induction of DgNIN1 expression by PAA required ethylene and gibberellic acid. This study suggests that while cytokinin signaling is central for cortex-induced nodules of L. japonicus, it acts antagonistically to the induction of nodule primordia of D. glomerata by PAA in the root pericycle.
Utilizing MV-FLOW™ and multidimensional ultrasound characteristics for prognosticating FET outcomes in RIF patients: Study Protocol for a cross-sectional study
Authors: Zhou Ying , Liu Li-Ying , Yang Hua-Ju , Lai Yuan-Yuan , Gan Di , Yang Jie
Published: February 2025

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a common issue in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Prior to transfer, uterine endometrial receptivity of FET patients can be assessed using multimodal transvaginal ultrasound indicators to predict the success rate of the current FET cycle. Endometrial blood flow is a crucial element in evaluating endometrial receptivity. MV-FLOW™ is an advanced two-dimensional superb microvascular imaging technology that can detect and display blood flow in micro-vessels. The data for this study were obtained from an ongoing cross-sectional study comprising 323 RIF patients and 323 first implantation (FI) patients, who underwent transvaginal ultrasound before FET. We collected basic clinical data and multimodal ultrasound data from these patients as predictive features, with clinical pregnancy as the predictive label, for model training. Based on the above, this study aims to establish and validate a clinical prediction model for FET outcomes using support vector classification (SVC) algorithms, based on MV-FLOW™ and multidimensional transvaginal ultrasound imaging features. The objective is to determine the predictive role of multimodal transvaginal ultrasound in embryo transfer outcomes and provide evidence for the clinical application of MV-FLOW™.

Some new applications of the fractional integral and four-parameter Mittag-Leffler function
Authors: Abubaker Ahmad A. , Matarneh Khaled , B. Al-Shaikh Suha , Khan Mohammad Faisal
Published: February 2025

The article reveals new applications of the four-parameter Mittag-Leffler function (MLF) in geometric function theory (GFT), using fractional calculus notions. The purpose of this study is to propose and explore a new integral operator of order λ using fractional calculus and the four-parameter MLF. The techniques of differential subordination theory are employed in order to derive certain univalence conditions for the newly defined fractional calculus operator involving the Mittag-Leffler function. In the proved theorems and corollaries of the paper, it is specified that the fractional integral operator of the four parameter MLF satisfies the conditions to be starlike and convex. It is also proved that the newly defined operator is a starlike, convex, and close-to-convex function of positive and negative orders, respectively. The geometric properties demonstrated for the fractional integral of the four-parameter MLF show that this function could be a valuable resource for developing the study of geometric functions theory, differential subordination, and superordination theory.
Visceral obesity augments prescription use: An analysis of the cross-sectional study of NHANES 2011–2018
Authors: Acevedo-Fernández Maximino , Ochoa Precoma Renata , Porchia Leonardo M. , Posadas Victor M. , Torres-Rasgado Enrique , Gonzalez-Mejia M. Elba , López-Bayghen Esther
Published: February 2025

Background

Visceral obesity (VATob) increases the risk for many diseases. Central obesity has been associated with an augmented prescription use; however, there is a paucity of research focused on VATob. Here, the aim was to evaluate the association between VATob and prescription use.

Methods

Data was collected from the NHANES dataset (2011–2018). Visceral adipose tissue was measured using dual x-ray absorptiometry, and VATob was defined as ≥100 cm2. Prescription use was collected from the RXQ_RX files and classified according to Vademecum. Association between VATob and prescription use was determined with logistic regression and reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).

Results

10,952 participants (weighted: 121,090,702) were included, in which 41.8% were VATob and 52.0% of them had ≥1 prescription. Overall, VATob demonstrated an augmented rate of prescription use when compared to non-VATob (52.0% versus 36.7%, p<0.001), specifically with metabolic (4.5-fold increase), cardiovascular (3.9-fold increase), gastrointestinal (2.5-fold increase), and hematopoietic agents (2.3-fold increase). This was associated with increased the risk for overall prescription use (ORoverall = 1.9, 95%CI: 1.7–2.1, p<0.001). Similar results were observed with metabolic and cardiovascular agents. However, when stratified by BMI, normal weight participants (ORmetabolic = 10.4; 95%CI: 6.5–16.6 & ORcardiovascular = 7.0; 95%CI: 4.4–11.1, p<0.001) had a greater risk than the overweight (ORmetabolic = 4.1; 95%CI: 3.0–5.6 & ORcardiovascular = 3.4; 95%CI: 2.5–4.7, p<0.001) or obese participants (ORmetabolic = 3.5; 95%CI: 2.3–5.3 & ORcardiovascular = 3.5; 95%CI: 2.5–4.9, p<0.001).

Conclusion

VATob is associated with augmented prescription use, particularly with cardiovascular and metabolic agents. This association was higher for normal weight participants.
Tone or tissue? A comparison of trends and risk factors of severe postpartum hemorrhage according to uterine atony or retained tissue in a hospital setting
Authors: Pettersen Silje , Falk Ragnhild Sørum , Vangen Siri , Nyfløt Lill Trine
Published: February 2025

Objective

To compare trends, outcomes and risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to uterine atony and retained tissue separately.

Study design

This retrospective hospital-based study of severe PPH included deliveries from a 10-year cohort (2008–2017) and a four-year case-control group (2008–2011). Severe PPH was defined as an estimated blood loss of ≥1500 ml or a blood transfusion. Poisson regression was used to estimate the temporal trend in the 10-year cohort. Risk factors were investigated in the case-control group. We performed multinomial regression analysis to investigate associations between pregnancy characteristics and severe PPH caused by uterine atony and by retained tissue compared to controls without severe PPH.

Results

During the 10-year study period, 2.7% of all deliveries were complicated by severe PPH. Uterine atony without concurring retained tissue was the cause in 55.4%, while retained tissue was listed as a cause in 32.2% of the cases. Among women who received ≥ four units of blood products, retained tissue caused 42.6% of cases, and severe PPH resulting in a hysterectomy was caused by retained tissue in 61.2% of cases. The rate of severe PPH caused by uterine atony significantly increased during the study period with an estimated annual percentage change of 8.6%, while the increase in severe PPH due to retained tissue was non-significant. Risk factors associated only with uterine atony were multiple pregnancy, macrosomia, Asian ethnicity and operative delivery, while induction of labor, augmentation of labor, use of anticoagulants and assisted reproduction were associated with both uterine atony and retained tissue.

Conclusion

The observed increased rate of PPH in the study period was mainly driven by an increase in atonic PPH, while the rate of severe PPH caused by retained tissue remained stable. The proportion caused by retained tissue was highest among the most severe cases of PPH. The reason for the increase in severe PPH due to uterine atony, but not retained tissue was not clear, but we speculate that it may be a combination of increasing risk factors with increased awareness of PPH.
Iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
Authors: Sloan Megan A. , Scott Adam , Aghabi Dana , Mrvova Lucia , Harding Clare R.
Published: February 2025

Iron is required to support almost all life; however, levels must be carefully regulated to maintain homeostasis. Although the obligate parasite Toxoplasma gondii requires iron, how it responds upon iron limitation has not been investigated. Here, we show that iron depletion triggers significant transcriptional changes in the parasite, including in iron-dependent pathways. We find that a subset of T. gondii transcripts contain stem-loop structures, which have been associated with post-transcriptional iron-mediated regulation in other cellular systems. We validate one of these (found in the 3’ UTR of TGME49_261720) using a reporter cell line. We show that the presence of the stem-loop-containing UTR is sufficient to confer accumulation at the transcript and protein levels under low iron. This response is dose and time-dependent and is specific for iron. The accumulation of transcript is likely driven by an increased reporter mRNA stability under low iron. Interestingly, we find iron-mediated changes in mRNA stability in around 400 genes. To examine the potential mechanism of this stability, we tested aconitase interaction with mRNA in low iron and found 43 enriched transcripts, but no specific interaction with our reporter UTR. However, the endogenous UTR led to maintenance of protein levels and increased survival of the parasite under low iron. Our data demonstrate the existence of iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma for the first time; and suggests iron-mediated regulation may be important to the parasite in low iron environments.
Teaching and learning with Indigenous-centred comic books in the media ecology classroom

Published: February 2025

In Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan wrote about comic books and called for further exploration of the medium’s expression of cultural change. This article takes up McLuhan’s call in the context of teaching and learning with Indigenous-centred comic books. Linking theories from media ecology, communication studies and cultural studies with Indigenous and decolonizing pedagogies, the article provides teaching and learning strategies, suggested readings, and assignments and activities for centring Indigenous perspectives and diversifying representation in the media ecology classroom. Readings and activities are on the topic of repatriating Indigenous remains and cultural objects, but the structure of the assignments can accommodate any number of topics.
The Tale of Job: A Seussian Tech Fable
Authors: Herring Sovi N.
Published: February 2025

‘The Tale of Job: A Seussian Tech Fable’ reimagines the biblical story of Job through the lens of futuristic technology, blending the whimsical style of Dr Seuss with the dark, dystopian themes of Harlan Ellison’s ‘I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream’. This poetic narrative explores the profound impact of technology on human existence and identity, highlighting the tension between its enchanting allure and terrifying potential. Job, under the screen name ‘U/JobOnTheGrid42’, faces trials against omnipotent digital forces, reflecting contemporary anxieties about autonomy loss. Through his journey, simplifying the 42 chapters in the Book of Job, the poem critiques our dependence on technology, urging a balance between embracing innovation and preserving humanity.
If this is a human being
Authors: Klein Sebastian
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on the project If This Is a Human Being, which explores innovative methods for Holocaust education using illustration-based methods, and tactile and interactive approaches to learning and teaching history. We developed three workshops for university students investigating Norwegian-Jewish micro-histories during the Second World War, and our findings indicate that the methods fostered engagement, concentration and a sense of accountability towards the historical Other. The project aimed to supplement existing Holocaust education by providing new tools and techniques to address challenging subjects like the Holocaust in an educational setting, and to create pedagogical environments that promote historical thinking and responsibility, using a design-based research approach to develop and refine these educational strategies.
This is not a manifesto

Published: February 2025

This visual feature presents graphic novel panels by Leela Corman, with an autobiography outlining her personal and political artistic development in New York City’s punk ethos of the 1980s and 1990s. Weaving in cultural touchstones in music, comics and popular culture throughout, she traces the emergence of her characters, plots and purpose. These are situated in early and mid-twentieth-century history, from wartime Poland to post-war New York City Ashkenazi Jewish life. Corman also describes technical details of research and studio processes, and ultimately makes the case for depicting unsettling, visceral moments of human and inhuman experiences.
Torn apart: Facing non-human pain
Authors: Sleigh Vita
Published: February 2025

Pain can be isolating: the pain of others is hard to imagine. This difficulty can become more significant still when attempting to bear witness to the pain of groups deemed different, lesser or other, such as non-human animals. Exploring frameworks for pain which emphasize its relational and connective qualities, especially across species borders, as well as considering activism and illustration alongside each other as practices in which bodies are used to advocate for others, how might the application of queer and ecofeminist lenses to these disciplines reveal their affinities? This article experiments with the terms TRANSLATION, AMPLIFICATION and REFRACTION to describe modes of illustrative activism which implicate the body. Through such modes of creative and corporeal empathy, what can be imagined, reached for, or described of a non-human being’s suffering?
Morbid memories: The hauntology of Theodor Kittelsen’s Svartedauen
Authors: Bolz Lauryn Elise
Published: February 2025

‘What does it mean when the ghosts of our past refuse to leave?’ Norwegian illustrator Theodor Kittelsen’s book, Svartedauen ([1901] 2011) utilizes pictured poetry, or poetry written in conjunction with illustrated elements, to tell a mythologized version of the story of the Black Death, an illness that claimed approximately 60 per cent of the Norwegian population in the fourteenth century. Curiously, his depictions of icy fjords and dark forests contain elements contemporary with Kittelsen’s life, implying that the mythological characters and ghosts of the fourteenth century still inhabit his homeland. I argue that the book represents the temporal rupture felt by Norwegians at the end of the nineteenth century, caused by extreme societal changes driven by their fight for independence and rapid industrialization. Using a ‘hauntological’ lens developed by Jacques Derrida, this article explores how Kittelsen’s landscapes of anachronism are displayed both in the book’s motifs and its medium.

Cruz y Raya y las redes transnacionales de católicos intelectuales durante la Segunda República
Authors: De la Reina Delgado Álvaro
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo aborda la sociabilidad y los referentes intelectuales que se vislumbran detrás de una nota al pie en un trabajo de José María Semprún acerca de Felipe II y la guerra de Flandes. Fue publicado en la revista Cruz y Raya en noviembre de 1935. La historiografía tradicional no ha prestado suficiente atención a los lugares no confesionales, en los que también participaban católicos antes del inicio de la guerra civil. Esto ha podido silenciar alternativas a la inercia general del catolicismo español. Un ejemplo singular de ello son la revista Cruz y Raya y el grupo fundador que la puso en marcha entre los años 1933 y 1936. Con un enfoque metodológico centrado en el contexto del texto, mediante un ejercicio de inducción, encontramos que, detrás de la revista, aparece el catolicismo francés, la revista Esprit y Jacques Maritain, y toda una red de lugares donde tales católicos intelectuales, españoles y europeos, pudieron conocerse, desde Madrid a Friburgo, pasando por los cursos de verano de Santander, o la multitud de cafeterías y tertulias donde pudieron conocerse y abrigar proyectos en común. Todo ello permite entender el surgimiento de una renovación del catolicismo como aquel, y alumbra una realidad histórica desconocida, que podría ayudar a entender posteriores evoluciones de un catolicismo crítico con el mayoritario nacional-catolicismo del régimen de Franco.
Experiencia y memoria. Sara Berenguer y las Mujeres Libertarias en el exilio
Authors: Asensio Gómez Miguel
Published: February 2025

El fin de la Guerra Civil española (julio 1936-abril 1939) trajo consigo el exilio de más de 500.000 personas con el fin de evitar la represión franquista y salvar la vida. Ese fue el caso de Sara Berenguer, militante del movimiento libertario de la agrupación «Mujeres Libres». El presente trabajo analiza su acción militante poniendo énfasis en su experiencia como libertaria, exiliada y mujer. Para ello, se acude a algunas fuentes orales y a los últimos trabajos que publicó Berenguer sobre su propia experiencia política tras la Guerra Civil, con ocasión de las jornadas del Coloquio Sobre el Exilio Libertario en Francia (1939-1975) A través de la Historia Oral. Se pretende profundizar en cómo Berenguer vivió el exilio, así como las dificultades y los momentos que marcaron su identidad militante y su vida personal. Se trata de recuperar su verdad, su vivencia y subjetividad para explorar la acción política que desarrolló. Todo ello enriquece el conocimiento del exilio en general a través de relatos de vida –siempre personales y singulares y, especialmente, de la vida de la mujer libertaria en el exilio, sus actividades y responsabilidades, sus transgresiones de género y sus límites. En definitiva, la vivencia de Sara Berenguer forma parte del conjunto de memorias de mujeres en el exilio, en muchos casos, desdibujadas.
María Mombiola: una vida de compromiso libertario a través de la historia colectiva y la lucha personal
Authors: Salmon Monviola Olivia
Published: February 2025

Las problemáticas de gestión de un patrimonio memorial se basan en parte en la relación entre la memoria individual y la memoria colectiva. No cabe duda de que es urgente salvaguardar, o incluso salvar, la memoria de quienes inscribieron su historia personal en la «Gran Historia». Esto es urgente porque los testimonios y las huellas del pasado corren el riesgo de perderse con el desgaste del tiempo. Respecto a la historia colectiva de quienes se comprometieron en la lucha contra el franquismo, a partir de los años 30, interesa la historia individual de una combatiente llamada María Lozano. Nació en Zaragoza en 1914 y con 15 años se unió en cuerpo y alma al movimiento libertario. En 1936 se afilió al frente de Aragón y participó en la comunidad de Sariñena, donde conoció a su compañero Ángel Mombiola. Como tantos otros, tuvo que abandonar España en 1939 durante la Retirada y el comenzó su largo exilio en Toulouse, donde permaneció toda su vida. María y Ángel Mombiola se unieron a la Resistencia en Francia, pero este último fue detenido por los alemanes y fusilado en 1944. Sin embargo, a pesar de la desaparición de su marido, María no dejó de luchar y siguió comprometida con la causa libertaria hasta el día de su muerte, en 2000. De hecho, María Lozano participó activamente en las acciones de la Federación Ibérica de Juventudes Libertarias, así como en las de la CNT. María fue una de las partidarias, desde el exilio, del Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación. El presente trabajo responde a la voluntad de comprender las trayectorias individuales para entender mejor la historia colectiva del activismo anarquista femenino. Interesa acercarnos a la personalidad, al compromiso y a las acciones de María Lozano. A partir de varias fuentes, principalmente primarias, concretamente, los archivos del Centro de Investigación para la Alternativa Social (CRAS) de Toulouse, que ella ayudó a fundar y los archivos de Sariñena; también documentos personales (los escritos de María Lozano) y entrevistas con quienes la acompañaron. Nos interesa trazar el itinerario del compromiso de María Lozano Mombiola de quien se decía que llevaba la rebeldía en el corazón.
Juana Rouco Buela. Revistas y periódicos para una biografía transnacional anarquista
Authors: Fernández Cordero Laura
Published: February 2025

En el marco de un nuevo momento de auge de las biografías de mujeres anarquistas, el presente trabajo se propone repasar la trayectoria de la anarquista María de la Concepción Juana Leona Vicenta (Madrid, 1889 – Buenos Aires, 1969), más conocida como Juana Rouco Buela. Se trata de una de las más célebres protagonistas del momento de mayor apogeo del anarquismo en el Río de la Plata. Pero su vida –caracterizada por desplazamientos forzados –debidos a cuestiones económicas, persecución policial y vicisitudes familiares– se desarrolló en varias ciudades. Siempre en contacto con el anarquismo de diversas latitudes, su biografía exige el enfoque transnacional que se asume en el presente trabajo, en consonancia con las últimas aportaciones de la historiografía del anarquismo en esa clave. Con el objetivo de ir más allá de la información que legó sobre sí misma en la autobiografía que publicó en 1964, el presente trabajo permite afirmar que es necesario analizar los soportes materiales que sostuvieron los intercambios transnacionales. En este caso, las publicaciones periódicas en las que colaboró de manera directa o donde se registra algún aspecto de su vida o de su producción. En cuanto a la metodología, se ha seguido a quienes destacaron la importancia de la prensa periódica –tanto para el propio anarquismo como para su estudio– abordándola como un concierto polifónico, políglota y polémico a fin de evitar una lectura aislada de las publicaciones. Se suman, además, los avances del campo de estudios de revistas culturales y políticas. El objetivo principal es presentar los resultados de una exploración preliminar que pone en diálogo la autobiografía de JRB con una serie de revistas y periódicos de la primera mitad del siglo XX.
Una hebra en la urdimbre transnacional. Trayectoria ácrata de Ana Piacenza/Nita Nahuel entre Argentina y España
Authors: Ledesma Prietto Nadia Florencia , Manzoni Gisela
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo analiza el itinerario político de la abogada Ana Piacenza, militante anarquista argentina, que participó activamente en la organización del movimiento ácrata local e internacional. Formó parte de la Federación Anarco Comunista Argentina (FACA) y, en el año 1936, viajó junto con otros miembros de la misma para participar en la Revolución y Guerra Civil en España. Allí, con el nombre de Nita Nahuel, se sumó a la organización de la Agrupación Mujeres Libres, trabajó en la Oficina de Propaganda Exterior CNT-FAI, y colaboró en la redacción del periódico Tierra y Libertad. Antes de la derrota, volvió a Argentina y continuó vinculada al movimiento anarquista local, a pesar la represión del momento. A partir del método biográfico y la perspectiva de género analizamos un corpus documental conformado por revistas y periódicos editados en España y Argentina, además de correspondencia, relatos biográficos y autobiográficos que dan cuenta de su actividad a un lado y otro del Atlántico. ¿Por qué es interesante el estudio de su recorrido? Trayectorias como las de Piacenza permiten indagar y evidenciar pluralidades, redes transnacionales de experiencias que se retroalimentan de un lado y otro del océano, y no como reflejo de aquellas. Tramas tejidas como militantes anarquistas y también como mujeres, con las motivaciones y obstáculos que ello conlleva.Por un lado, las luchas transnacionales presentan características diferenciales cuando las a desde la perspectiva de género. La militancia de las mujeres –en general– presenta una variedad de limitaciones que se acentúan con las particularidades que requiere viajar –especialmente para aquellas que fueron madres. Por otro lado, las diferentes experiencias de las anarquistas contribuyeron a la creación de un movimiento de mujeres ácratas, con singularidades que las distancian de otros colectivos ocupados en modificar las condiciones de explotación para su género.

La cultura insurreccional del republicanismo catalán restauracionista: muerte y conmemoración de los militares republicanos Ramón Ferrándiz y Manuel Bellés, 1884-1910
Authors: Pocino Pérez Àlex
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar los discursos republicanos, tanto textuales como visuales, en torno al fusilamiento de los militares republicanos Ramón Ferrándiz y Manuel Bellés en Girona en 1884. Seguidamente, se analizan las conmemoraciones celebradas en recuerdo de dichos fusilamientos –entre 1884 y 1910– a través del predominio de una u otra fracción republicana y sus discursos asociados. La hipótesis de esta investigación es que el republicanismo catalán adoptó durante la Restauración un lenguaje insurreccional de herencia liberal –basado en la legitimidad de la insurrección armada– en un momento en que, las vías legales estaban cerradas por un gobierno considerado como reaccionario. Este lenguaje se plasmó con la inclusión de Ferrándiz y Bellés en una genealogía de mártires de la libertad que se iniciaría con algunos mártires del primer liberalismo, tales como Luis de Lacy, Rafael del Riego o José María de Torrijos. Tal codificación histórica tendría como objetivo presentar a los republicanos como herederos de una lucha secular, y al régimen restauracionista como reaccionario y criminal, contra el cual era legítimo sublevarse. Pese a que todas las fracciones republicanas asumieron en mayor o menor medida un lenguaje insurreccional dotado de legitimidad de la sublevación contra un gobierno reaccionario, cada una lo amoldaría de manera diferente en función del papel del ejército, su propia tradición insurreccional y sus horizontes de expectativa.
La «Siempre Heroica» se engalana. Fiestas cívicas en Zaragoza, 1833-1841
Authors: Aquillué Domínguez Daniel
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo describe y analiza las fiestas cívicas realizadas en Zaragoza durante los primeros años de la monarquía isabelina –desde que Isabel fue jurada como princesa y la muerte de Fernando VII, en 1833– hasta la llegada a la regencia del general Espartero, en 1841. Todo ello en el marco de la Primera Guerra Carlista y la revolución liberal. A través de las fuentes del archivo municipal zaragozano y otras albergadas en la Biblioteca Nacional y la prensa, se estudian las fiestas –su cariz político y su cultura material– agrupándolas de acuerdo con la siguiente tipología: de exaltación de la monarquía, de la monarquía liberal, de la ciudadanía combativa y de exaltación constitucional. Se observan cambios y continuidades respecto a ceremoniales previos, la traslación de viejas formas a nuevos discursos, y el ascendente papel de la Milicia Nacional como sujeto participante y conmemorado en las fiestas cívicas, especialmente a partir del año 1836. El caso zaragozano sirve como ejemplo de fiestas cívicas en la época, trazando puntos de comparación con otras ciudades, esencialmente españolas, planteando de esta forma una visión que pretende trascender lo local y permitir una comprensión de la cultura política liberal, su difusión y su materialización en el espacio público en esos años de guerra civil, revolución y construcción nacional española.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be an option to mitigate the impact of abiotic constraints in different cropping systems in the tropical semi-arid region. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the biometric growth parameters and root system of corn plants subjected to the use of Bacillus aryabhattai via seed treatment and furrow application. The trial was conducted in a commercial area in the southwestern region of Goiás, Brazil. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design with four treatments (T1 – Control; T2 – B. aryabhattai (4 mL kg-1 of seed) via seed treatment; T3 – B. aryabhattai (200 mL ha-1) via furrow application; T4 – B. aryabhattai (300 mL ha-1) via furrow application) and five replications, totaling 20 experimental plots. Root parameters (maximum root length (cm); root dry mass (g); root volume (cm3)) and biometric parameters (plant height (cm); ear insertion height (cm); stem diameter (mm); prolificacy (number of ears per plant); number of leaves) were evaluated. The application of Bacillus aryabhattai led to increases in root system volume and stem diameter in corn plants.

Published: February 2025

This article addresses the challenges operators face in decision-making during the operational management of tunnels and other transport systems. Operators of complex systems must process vast amounts of information and suggestions from various devices, subsystems, and both internal and external sources. In addition, they receive requests from multiple entities. This overwhelming influx of data and demands places significant pressure on operators to evaluate and respond swiftly and accurately, which is often crucial to ensuring smooth operation of the entire transport system. To assist operators in making better decisions, new approaches are being introduced, such as expert systems and artificial intelligence. These tools aim to enhance decision-making not only during crises but also for routine operations and more complex tasks related to controlling and monitoring transport systems. The article outlines components of an expert system that uses fuzzy logic to address the complexities of acquiring certain data, particularly from predictive maintenance, which cannot be easily interpreted through simple operational interventions by the operator. Predictive maintenance also relies on decision-making supported by advanced algorithms, which are integrated with the systems technology and control framework.
REDES DE PROTEÇÃO E DEFESA DOS DIREITOS DA CRIANÇA: UM ESTUDO COMPARATIVO
Authors: Paula Alexandre da Silva de , Kodato Sérgio
Published: February 2025

Esse estudo teve como objetivo investigar a constituição dessas redes em países avançados em inclusão social, que apresentaram resultados significativos nessa área. Após uma revisão crítica da literatura, buscou-se uma análise comparativa com as redes de proteção no Brasil. Os dados indicaram diferenças expressivas entre as práticas exemplares de proteção e os serviços prestados aos usuários brasileiros. As redes de proteção em países europeus se encontram em um momento de transição paradigmática, no sentido da alteridade. Em nosso país, permanecem os altos índices de violência, agressão, abuso e desamparo de crianças, bem como a desarticulação setorial que prejudica, quando não inviabiliza, o funcionamento das redes.

Arte, estética, política y crisis
Authors: Ramos Eliana Marisa
Published: February 2025

El siguiente trabajo pretende recorrer un camino que permita pensar conceptos centrales a la hora de tensionar la relación entre arte, estética y política, y las configuraciones que adquiere este entramado en nuestro país, intentando esbozar algunas observaciones que nos ayuden a caracterizar las expresiones ocurridas en el marco de la crisis de 2001 y las que tuvieron y tienen lugar en la crisis que sobrevino a la pandemia.
 Dos aspectos interesantes que podrían ordenar el ejercicio de pensar esta relación tienen que ver, por un lado, con las diferentes miradas sobre la estetización de la política, entendida como un proceso inserto en un tiempo histórico, o por el contrario si debemos pensarla como una cuestión ontológica. Por otra parte, el lugar central ocupado por el espacio público y el cuerpo a partir de las nuevas formas de intervención política denominadas artivismo.
En un recorrido muy fugaz analizo la relación entre estética, política y arte, a partir de pensar dos variables conceptuales claves en este esquema: el espacio público, y los cuerpos. Por otra parte, una dimensión que se revela fundamental para pensar en las condiciones de posibilidad: el tiempo histórico. De esta forma, las crisis de 2001 y 2020 van configurando diferentes formas de irrumpir en el espacio público, diferentes formas de hacer política y de expresarse colectivamente. Se avecinan tiempos de grandes desafíos para el conjunto social en la medida en que podamos torcer la premisa del “sálvese quien pueda” y podamos encontrar las estrategias para volver a creer que la salida es colectiva y el arte es una experiencia creativa que tiene la potencia para crear escenarios políticos de resistencia claves para la vida comunitaria.
Tiras por la Paz
Authors: Amorós Raúl
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo analiza las fases de la obra Tiras por la Paz del artista Raúl Armando Amorós Hormazábal (1982-) llevada a cabo sobre el puente Mundaiz situado en la ciudad de Donostia-San Sebastián en ocasión de la manifestación artístico-cultural Capital Europea de la Cultura 2016. Desde la perspectiva de Peter Dunn, hay que operar y moverse como «context provider» en lugar de «content provider» (Grant, 2003), desarrollar la cultura del encuentro a través de construcciones colectivas, debates o prácticas artísticas para una convivencia pacífica con el entorno social. En estas premisas abrevan el objetivo del estudio y las experiencias que giraron en torno a nuestro proyecto y que permitieron confirmar nuestras hipótesis iniciales sobre la interdisciplinariedad del site-specific en el espacio público y la didáctica artística en la construcción permanente de conceptos como paz o guerra. Así, la participación ciudadana directa se vuelve parte transformativa de los procesos contemporáneos y logra proponer una novedosa gramática visual capaz de plasmarse con nuestra percepción cultural contemporánea.
