La imagen de la mujer en la fotografía publicitaria durante la Guerra Civil española
Authors: García Castillo Noelia , Bueno Doral Tamara
Published: May 2022

Esta investigación supone un aporte original que analiza la imagen femenina presente en las fotografías publicitarias difundidas en los anuncios publicados en la prensa durante la Guerra Civil española. Tras un exhaustivo análisis documental que contextualiza el uso de esta técnica en la industria publicitaria, hemos aplicado un análisis de contenido a un censo de 139 personajes procedentes de siete cabeceras distintas. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos cabe destacar la belleza, juventud y felicidad de los reclamos, así como la profesión de actriz como principal perfil laboral. Esto último se debe la importancia de las salas de cine como clientes de las agencias. Vemos así un discurso publicitario que, a pesar de compartir una misma técnica de reproducción, se opone a las imágenes con que el fotoperiodismo de guerra llenaba esos mismos diarios. Por lo tanto, además de añadir una nueva perspectiva al conjunto de estudios acerca del uso de la fotografía durante la Guerra Civil española, el artículo pretende aportar una mayor comprensión de la realidad de la época y de sus estereotipos de género. Abstract: This research is an original contribution that analyses the image of women in advertising photographs that were published in diverse journals during the Spanish Civil War. After having carried out a documentary analysis that contextualizes the use of this technique in the advertising industry, we have applied a content analysis to a census of 139 characters from seven different newspapers. Among the main results that have been obtained, it should be pointed out the beauty, youth and happiness of the figures, as well as the profession of actress as main work profile. The last result is due to the importance of movie theaters as clients of the agencies. In this way, there is an advertising discourse that, although it share the same technique of representation, is opposed to the images of photojournalism that were used to fill the same newspapers. Therefore, this paper adds a new perspective to the studies related to the use of photography during the Spanish Civil War. However, we also try to provide a better comprehension of the reality of the period an of its gender stereotypes.

O desenvolvimento do jovem Hegel
Authors: Salomão Antônio
Published: May 2022

O debate teológico presente no Stift de Tübingen é campo de recepção da filosofia kantiana por meio de uma questão específica: aquela da existência de Deus e de Sua revelação aos homens. Reconstruindo-o tangencialmente, pode-se sublinhar qual a posição que a filosofia kantiana ocupa nele, salientando-a frente àquela de Storr e Flatt. Também, apontar para a apropriação dela no seio daquele debate. Assim, quando se volta para a posição de Hegel, nota-se que ele se contrapõe à apropriação teológica de Kant, posicionando-se de modo similar ao kantiano. Tem-se aqui um liame entre Kant e aquilo que se chama, incipientemente, de filosofia hegeliana.
L’Allemagne dans l’Irlande de Hugo Hamilton, ou la mise en film sur le papier d’une Vergangenheitsbewältigung maternelle
Authors: Sampagnay Louise
Published: May 2022

Dans ses memoirs The Speckled People (2003), l’Irlandais Hugo Hamilton recrée l’itinéraire de sa mère allemande sous le Troisième Reich comme s’il s’agissait de poser sur le papier un « film en noir et blanc » (Hamilton 2003). L’enfant multilingue, figure d’énonciation spécifique en raison de l’acuité de sa conscience métalinguistique (Cazden 1974, Anokhina 2015), est recréé à distance par l’auteur adulte. Contribuant aux lectures académiques de Hamilton (Ní Éigeartaigh 2010, Depner 2014), cet article avance que l’originalité du récit de soi autour du topos autobiographique que constitue la mise en récit de l’héritage maternel repose sur une intermédialité inédite. Dans l’espace des livres, Hamilton met en film l’histoire personnelle de sa mère, résistante au nazisme, d’une part, et d’autre part l’histoire de l’Allemagne, perçue à distance dans une double altérité linguistique et diasporique. Ces images de l’Allemagne qui surgissent de ce média hybride inséré de part en part dans le récit autobiographique marquent le lecteur avec plus de force que le reste du récit, plus classiquement irlandais.

PERANCANGAN PERTANIAN VERTIKAL YANG TERINTEGRASI UNTUK MENGATASI MASALAH PANGAN MASA DEPAN
Authors: Natalie Caroline , Halim Martin
Published: May 2022

Based on existing data, people in Indonesia will migrate to urban areas which will cause population problems. One of them is the food problem, coupled with the fast demand for fresh food in the capital, which lacks planting media and sunlight. Vertical agriculture is considered to be one solution to this problem. However, until now there has been no special building for vertical agriculture that stands in the capital. This is because to build a special building for vertical agriculture requires a large amount of cost and energy. The vertical design approach by rethinking the typology based on the analysis of existing studies produces a typology of open masses and blocks as edges, a typology of terracing and grid patterns, the placement of vertical farms in buildings using solar energy sources and technology (hybrids), and hydroponic, aquaponic, and hydroponic cultivation methods. and aeroponics with retail and office programs as supporting programs that are directly integrated with vertical farming as the main program. So that the "Integrated Vertical Farming" project is expected not only to be able to answer food and environmental problems, but also the economy. Keywords: Food Problems; Program; Typology; Vertical Farming AbstrakBerdasarkan data yang ada, masyarakat di Indonesia akan bermigrasi ke daerah perkotaan yang akan menimbulkan masalah kependudukan. Salah satunya adalah masalah pangan, ditambah dengan permintaan bahan pangan segar yang cepat di ibukota yang minim media tanam dan matahari. Pertanian vertikal dinilai menjadi salah satu solusi masalah tersebut. Namun hingga kini belum ada bangunan khusus pertanian vertikal yang berdiri di ibukota. Hal tersebut dikarenakan untuk membangun bangunan khusus pertanian vertikal membutuhkan biaya dan energi yang cukup besar. Pendekatan perancangan pertanian vertikal dengan rethinking typology berdasarkan analisis studi yang ada menghasilkan tipologi massa yang terbuka dan blok sebagai tepi, tipologi pola terasering dan grid, penempatan pertanian vertikal pada bangunan dengan penggunaan sumber energi matahari dan teknologi (hybrid), dan metode penanaman hidroponik, akuaponik, dan aeroponik dengan program retail dan office sebagai program pendukung yang terintegrasi langsung dengan pertanian vertikal sebagai program utama. Sehingga proyek “Integrated Vertical Farming” ini diharapkan tidak hanya mampu menjawab permasalahan pangan dan lingkungan, tetapi juga ekonomi.

Maternal phthalate exposure during pregnancy and male reproductive disorders: a systematic review and metaanalysis
Authors: Yu Chengjun , Lu Jiandong , Zhao Jie , Zhao Tianxin , Long Chunlan , Lin Tao , Wu Shengde , Wen Sheng , Wei Guanghui
Published: May 2022

Background. Phthalates are ubiquitous in the environment and they can penetrate the human body via multiple routes. However, the impact of phthalates on human male reproductive disorders remains unclear.
Methods. A critical review of published studies was conducted to clarify the association of phthalates and male reproductive disorders and to highlight future research needs. PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science Database were systematically searched for relevant articles written in English, independent of region and time period. If more than one paper overlapped in study design or participants included, the most recent manuscript was included in our review. Due to limited homogeneous statistical data, observed trends were summarized to draw approximate conclusions.
Results. Nineteen manuscripts were included in our final analysis. Exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), and/or benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) is associated with a shorter anogenital distance (AGD). Meanwhile, exposure to DEHP and/or di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is associated with higher risks for cryptorchidism and hypospadias.
Conclusions. Generic exposure to phthalates has an adverse effect on human reproductive development, especially exposure to DEHP, DBP, DEP, BBP, and DIDP. A critical time for exposure sensitivity is during early pregnancy. Due to the lack of significant statistical power in this study, the conclusions drawn should be cautiously interpreted and they remain to be validated. Thus, additional well-designed studies, as well as propaganda and education regarding phthalate exposure and safer substitutes for these compounds, are greatly needed.

Authors: Özyurt Gonca , Cingöz Gülten , Öztürk Yusuf , Küme Tuncay , Dündar Bumin Nuri , Tufan Ali Evren , Çatlı Gönül
Published: May 2022

Background. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the serum neurotensin (NT) levels and their relationships with self-reported anxiety, emotion regulation skills and impulsivity in healthy and obese adolescents.
Methods. Adolescents who gained weight between 12- 17 years of age and who were above the 95th percentile (p) for body mass index (BMI) > 95p were compared with age- and gender-matched healthy adolescents with a BMI of 3-85 p. Anthropometric measurements were performed, and serum NT levels were analyzed with ELISA method in all participants. Barrat Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were used for evaluating self-reported impulsivity, anxiety and emotion regulation. MANOVA with follow-up univariate ANOVAs (Bonferroni corrected) were used for group comparisons. P was set at 0.05 (two-tailed).
Results. Sixty-five obese and 65 healthy adolescents were included in the study. In the obese group, NT levels were significantly elevated compared to the control group. Self-reported emotion-regulation difficulties, anxiety and impulsivity were significantly elevated among obese adolescents. Serum NT levels among the obese group were positively correlated with emotion dysregulation and impulsivity scores.
Conclusions. In this study, we found emotional dysregulation, anxiety, impulsivity, and serum NT levels were significantly elevated among obese adolescents compared to controls. NT levels in the obese group correlated with impulsivity and emotion dysregulation. Further studies should evaluate the potential role of NT in the etiology of psychopathology among adolescents who are obese.
A feasibility study of risk prediction modelling for vasoocclusive crisis in children with sickle cell disease
Authors: Şengül Merve Türkegün , Taşdelen Bahar , Ünal Selma , Akbey Veysi
Published: May 2022

Background. The availability of a selection of biomarkers that includes information about disease risk is very important in the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). We used the predictiveness curve (PC), which classifies diseased individuals according to low- and high-risk thresholds, for this purpose. Our aim was to define this new statistical method and to determine the biomarkers that predict vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) in children with SCD to guide preventive treatment.
Methods. Thirty-eight pediatric patients with SCD were included in this feasibility study. Leucocytes (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and YKL-40 were studied in patients with VOC and without VOC. The patient group with a low or high risk of VOC was assessed using the PC. Risk prediction and classification performance were evaluated using the PC and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results. According to the PC, patients with a high risk of VOC could be detected via TNF-α, IL-6, and WBC, and TNF-α was the best risk prediction marker (TPF = 0.67).
Conclusions. The PC provides disease risk information by comparing more than one biomarker and can thereby help clinicians determine appropriate preventive treatments. This is the first study to evaluate biomarkers to predict VOC risk in SCD patients.
Non-ocular risk factors in Turkish children with strabismus and amblyopia
Authors: Çakır Burçin , Aksoy Nilgün Özkan , Bursalı Özlem , Özmen Sedat
Published: May 2022

Background. To evaluate non-ocular risk factors including family history, febrile seizure, history of trauma, neurological diseases, and prematurity in Turkish children with strabismus and amblyopia.
Methods. The records of patients diagnosed with strabismus and/or amblyopia below 18 years old, were recruited. The current mean age, sex, types and subtypes of strabismus and amblyopia, family history, history of trauma, and febrile seizure were investigated. The presence of neurological diseases and prematurity were noted. Family history was investigated whether the presence of strabismus or amblyopia was maternal or paternal. Blood relatives were divided into 3 groups including first, second, and third-degree relatives. The relationship between blood relative degrees and types of strabismus or amblyopia were assessed.
Results. There were 803 patients with a current median age of 8 years (1-29 years). Of these patients, 786 patients could be evaluated and 55% had esotropia (ET), 32.6% had exotropia (XT) and 12.5% had amblyopia as a primary diagnosis. Positive family history of strabismus or amblyopia was more common among all risk factors. There was a statistically significant rate of patients with a positive family history in the first-degree relatives, in the esotropic patient group (p= 0.002). Maternal positive family history was more common in patients with refractive ET (p= 0.024) and paternal positive family history was more common in patients with intermittent XT (p= 0.009).
Conclusions. The rates of positive family history of amblyopia and strabismus were not statistically different. Family history of strabismus in first-degree relatives of patients with esotropia was markedly high. The family history of strabismus on the maternal or paternal side might be different in patients with different subtypes of strabismus.

Published: May 2022

Background. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ketogenic diet (KD) in children with various types of refractory epilepsy.
Methods. A total of 91 children (49 females) aged 3 to 193 months (median, 52 months) with drug resistant epilepsy who received KD treatment for at least 12 months were enrolled in the study. Seizure frequency, adherence to diet, reason for discontinuation of KD, and adverse effects were recorded. Response was defined as ≥50% improvement in seizure frequency compared to baseline. We also searched for influences of different variables on the outcome.
Results. Intent-to-treat analysis revealed an improvement in seizure frequency for ≥50% in 73.6%, 80.2%, 75.8%, 73.6%, and 70.3% of patients at month-1, -3, -6, -9, and month-12, respectively. Overall, 32 (35.2%) patients remained seizure-free at month-12. There was no significant differences between responders and nonresponders in terms of age at onset of epilepsy, age at onset of KD, gender, or etiology. Mild hyperlipidemia was associated with a higher response rate. At the last follow-up (median: 20 months), 38 (41.8%) patients were still maintained on KD. While 15.4% of patients completed the diet with a success in seizure control, remainder discontinued KD due to lack of efficacy (23.1%), non-adharence to diet (11%), intercurrent infection (4.4%), adverse effects (3.3%), and death (1.1%).
Conclusion. Ketogenic diet treatment appears to be effective in about two-thirds of children with various types of drug-resistant epilepsy, including one-third remaining seizure free. Mild hyperlipidemia seems to be associated with a higher response rate. Discontinuation of KD is mostly due to lack of efficacy or nonadherence, and rarely side effects.

Authors: Sarıcı Ahmet Murat , Celkan Tülin Tiraje , Oto Bilge Batu , Şahin Atilla , Uzel Ömer , Uçar Didar
Published: May 2022

Background. Retinoblastoma shows high rates of recurrence after initial chemotherapy (systemic or intraarterial). Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of iodine-125 radioactive plaque brachytherapy as a salvage treatment with globe-preserving attributes after initial chemotherapy in patients with intraocular retinoblastoma.
Methods. The effect of brachytherapy was investigated retrospectively in 17 eyes of 17 patients who were followed up due to retinoblastoma between May 2012 and June 2018 and who received iodine-125 radioactive plaque brachytherapy as a salvage treatment after systemic or intra-arterial chemotherapy. The regression, ocular toxicity, and enucleation rates were evaluated at the end of the follow-up period.
Results. The tumor locations were post equator, macular, anterior to the equator, and peripapillary in 5, 3, 7, and 2 patients, respectively. Regression was initially and rapidly observed in 17 of the 17 eyes that underwent brachytherapy. Enucleation was performed in 5 (29.42%) of these patients due to recurrence with diffuse tumor involvement, and 4 of the tumors were located anterior to the equator. In 12 (70.58%) patients, the eyes were protected from enucleation following local brachytherapy.
Conclusions. Radioactive plaque brachytherapy can be applied as an effective salvage therapy with successful results in retinoblastoma patients who have received initial systemic or intra-arterial chemotherapy. Post equator-located solitary tumors have the highest success rate.
Regulatory T and B cells in transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy
Authors: Emsen Ayça , Uçaryılmaz Hülya , Güler Tuğba , Artaç Hasibe
Published: May 2022

Background. Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy (THI) is a heterogeneous disorder caused by an abnormal delay in reaching normal IgG levels in the first three years of life. Although THI is a common primary immune deficiency, its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and B cells (Bregs) in the pathogenesis of THI.
Methods. T and B cell subsets were evaluated in 40 patients with THI aged 6-41 months and 23 healthy controls aged 6-51 months using flow cytometry. CD4 and interleukin-2 receptor-α alpha (CD25) expression and a lack of interleukin-7 receptor-α (CD127) were used for Treg identification. FoxP3 expression in Tregs was determined as a percentage and mean fluorescence intensity. B cell subsets (plasmablast, mature naive, primarily memory, new memory) and Bregs were defined according to CD19, CD38, and CD24 expressions.
Results. Patients with THI (15 females and 25 males; mean age: 18.8 ± 8.6 months) and controls (10 females and 13 males; mean age: 22.6 ± 13.1 months) participated in this study. While the proportion of Tregs of children with THI were significantly increased compared to the controls, primarily memory B cells were reduced. Additionally, the proportions of CD127 in CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ T cells were significantly reduced in the patients with THI compared to the control. No significant difference was detected in the FoxP3 expression of Tregs and the frequency of Bregs in the children with THI.
Conclusions. Increased Tregs and decreased primarily memory B cells may cause antibody production delay in children with THI. Changes in the T and B cell compartments may be related to chronic immune activation and affected cellular immunity in THI. Further studies are needed to use T and B cell subsets in the prediction of IgG level recovery.

Rafael Antúnez traduce y antologa, en colaboración con la también traductora Ana Villada, cuatro novelettes o novelas cortas italianas escritas entre finales del siglo XIX y mediados del siglo XX: Sensibilidad (1883), de Camilo Boito; El mar (1934), de Corrado Alvaro; Casa de otros (1952), de Silvio D’Arzo; y La sirena, de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1957). Desde la “crítica del autor hacia la burguesía de la época: oportunista y vulnerable a los placeres carnales”, pasando por el realismo italiano, juegos de luces y sonidos, hasta llegar a “un estilo irónico y humorístico” con “erotismo y poesía del lenguaje”, los temas y formas de estas obras dan una vasta muestra de la literatura italiana en periodo de guerra.

Antología del ensayo moderno en Chiapas. Esbozo de una historia cultural, de Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez (sel. y pról.)
Authors: Flores Guadalupe
Published: May 2022

La creación del mundo se ha expresado a lo largo del tiempo gracias a la palabra como resultado de imaginarlo, ya sea desde la perspectiva teológica o a través del examen racionalista. Por diversos senderos y miradas, la palabra ha sido el medio y el centro de toda aspiración para hacer explícita la presencia del Ser y su mundo. De esta manera el ensayo como género artístico evidencia el devenir de las ideas; una constante reflexión en torno a la presencia del hombre y su historia.

Personalidad, bienestar psicológico y calidad de vida asociada con la salud en mujeres colombianas con fibromialgia
Authors: Restrepo Jorge Emiro , Marcela Delgado Laura , Diosa Sandra Milena , Mendoza Leidy Johana , Zuleta Valencia Vanesa
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo se correlacionaron la personalidad normal ‒medida a través del modelo de los Cinco Factores‒, el bienestar psicológico y la calidad de vida asociada con la salud en un grupo de mujeres diagnosticadas con fibromialgia, para lo cual se realizó un estudio cuantitativo ex post facto de corte transversal y nivel correlacional con 98 mujeres. De ellas, 51.3% presentaban niveles altos de neuroticismo, 60,5% niveles bajos de amabilidad, y 42,1% niveles bajos de extraversión. El neuroticismo correlacionó negativamente con todas las dimensiones del bienestar psicológico y con la mayoría de las dimensiones de la calidad de vida, y además fue el factor de la personalidad, junto con la extraversión, que más correlaciones tuvo con la calidad de vida asociada con la salud. El grupo de mujeres con fibromialgia, en su mayoría con altos niveles de neuroticismo y bajos niveles de extraversión y amabilidad, ven afectadas la autoaceptación, las relaciones positivas, la autonomía, el dominio del entorno, el crecimiento personal, el propósito en la vida, los roles físico y emocional, la salud mental y el dolor corporal.
Empleabilidad y competencias socioemocionales en estudiantes de Administración
Authors: Betanzos Díaz Norma , Altamira Solís Víctor Manuel , Paz Rodríguez Francisco
Published: May 2022

La empleabilidad refleja la capacidad de un individuo para encontrar, retener y moverse entre empleos en caso de necesidad. Su abordaje se ha realizado considerándola como un elemento social o como uno organizacional e individual, siendo este último el que se ha preferido en la psicología organizacional. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la relación entre las competencias socioemocionales y la empleabilidad en estudiantes de la Facultad de Contaduría, Administración e Informática a fin de determinar si las competencias socioemocionales están relacionadas con la autopercepción de empleabilidad, y si ello les hace posible tener y cumplir trabajos para ellos, o bien crearlos, a pesar de las condiciones de empleo prevalecientes en el país; a ese efecto, se evaluó a 220 estudiantes, a quienes se aplicó una escala de competencias socioemocionales y un cuestionario sobre empleabilidad, los cuales mostraron tener una adecuada confiabilidad. Se observó que la autoeficacia en la búsqueda de empleo, el compromiso, la deseabilidad social y el afrontamiento de la frustración predicen las competencias socioemocionales de los estudiantes.

Authors: Silva-Ruz Carlos , Robles-García Rebeca , Martínez-Ríos Marco Antonio , Sánchez-Sosa Juan José
Published: May 2022

Antecedentes. La insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) es una enfermedad crónica cuyos síntomas y evolución ocasionan limitaciones físicas y deterioro psicológico importantes. Las personas que padecen IC con depresión y ansiedad perciben su calidad de vida especialmente deteriorada. Objetivo. El presente estudio examinó la eficacia de una intervención cognitivo-conductual vía telefónica para la reducción de sintomatología depresiva en pacientes con IC. Medición. Se registraron valores de sintomatología depresiva con versiones validadas del BDI-II, de sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva, con el HADS y la calidad de vida física y emocional en IC con el Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Se aplicó adicionalmente una escala visual numérica para evaluar el nivel de ansiedad percibida y un registro de activación conductual sobre frecuencia de conductas meta por día. Procedimiento. A partir de un análisis piloto de detección de necesidades se diseñó la intervención con estructura modular. Después de revisar conceptualmente a profundidad con los participantes los temas de entrenamiento en relajación, activación conductual, solución de problemas, pensamientos disfuncionales y prevención de recaídas, se implementaron técnicas clínicas específicas sobre esas variables. Diseño. El estudio utilizó un diseño intrasujetos AB con seguimiento a un mes. Resultados. Los principales hallazgos muestran que la intervención fue efectiva en pacientes relativamente estables en sentido médico, con un menor efecto en pacientes con sintomatología física exacerbada. La calidad de vida percibida mostró tendencia hacia la mejoría sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Conclusión. El tratamiento de la sintomatología depresiva en IC con este formato de atención resultó viable y de fácil acceso para participantes en condiciones de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica.

Los Observatorios y la Coordinación Universitaria de Observatorios
Authors: Zárate Mejía Esteban Juan
Published: May 2022

Los observatorios son entes que agrupan sistemáticamente la información que se genera sobre un ámbito en especial. Lo acumulan a fin de poder contribuir en la generación de decisiones que trasciendan a la población objetivo de dichos centros. Por ejemplo, existen observatorios sobre políticas públicas, medio ambiente, educación, entre otros. En el caso de la Universidad Veracruzana, cuenta con diversos observatorios sobre temáticas como Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional, Sismología y Vulcanología, por mencionar algunos. Tales observatorios se agrupan en la Coordinación Universitaria de Observatorios. Sin embargo, su función no podría entenderse sin antes estudiar qué es un observatorio, cuál es su finalidad, así como las funciones que desempeña y los tipos de observatorios que existen. Estos temas se desarrollan en el presente documento.
