Early stages of pelvic organ prolapses are mainly associated with the pelvic floor disfunction as a result of elasticity changes in the connective tissues including the vaginal wall. In this study, for the first time we used a compression optical coherence elastography (C-OCE) method for assessing elasticity of the vaginal wall under prolapse conditions after intravaginal neodymium (Nd:YAG) laser treatment. C-OCE was used for a comparative ex vivo study of vaginal wall average values of stiffness (elastic Young’s modulus) in patients with age norm (n = 6), stage I–II prolapse (n = 5) without treatment and stage I–II prolapse post 1–2 months Nd:YAG laser treatment (n = 10). To verify the C-OCE data, the structural features of the submucosal connective tissue were identified morphometrically by Van Gieson staining using quantitative textural analysis of the state of collagen bundles. The results of a comparative evaluation of C-OCE and histological images demonstrate a statistically significant tissue stiffness decrease in vaginal wall prolapse compared to the age norm (73.5 ± 18.9 kPa vs. 233.5 ± 48.3 kPa; p < 0.05). This agrees with the histologically revealed increase in the space between the bundles of collagen fibers, which leads to a decrease in the uniformity of their arrangement. After Nd:YAG laser treatment, we observed statistically significant connective tissue stiffness increase compared to vaginal wall prolapse without treatment (152.1 ± 19.2 kPa vs. 73.5 ± 18.9 kPa; p < 0.05), which was associated with an increase in the local thickness of the collagen bundles, a change in their orientation, and an increase in the uniformity of their arrangement. The obtained results indicate that the C-OCE can be a robust method for detecting the early stages of vaginal wall prolapse and assessing the elastic modulus increase in the vaginal wall after laser treatment.

The aim of the current study wat to comparatively assess the impact of different nitrogen (N) fertilization schemes on fresh pod yield and yield quality in either organically or conventionally grown common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Prior to common bean crop establishment, the experimental field site was cultivated following either organic (a) or conventional (b) farming practices with a winter non-legume crop (Brassica oleracea var. italica) (BR), or (c) with field bean (Vicia faba sp.) destined to serve as a green manure (GM) crop. At the end of the winter cultivation period the broccoli crop residues (BR) and green manure biomass (GM) were incorporated into the soil and the plots that accommodated the treatments (a) and (c) were followed by an organically cultivated common bean crop, while the conventional broccoli crop was followed by a conventionally cropped common bean crop. Additional to the plant residues (BR), sheep manure (SM) at a rate of 40 kg N ha−1 was also applied to the organically treated common beans, while the plots with a conventionally cropped common bean received 75 kg N ha−1. Organic common bean treated with SM + BR produced smaller pods of higher dry matter and bioactive compound content, responses that are correlated with limited soil N availability. No significant variations were observed on yield components and N levels of pods cultivated under organic (SM + GM) and conventional cropping systems. Pod sugar and starch content was not influenced by the different fertilization practices. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the combined application of SM + GM can be considered as an efficient N-fertilisation strategy for organic crops of common bean, benefiting their nutritional value without compromising yield.

Published: December 2022

The fruits of Amomun tsao-ko (Chinese black cardamom; Zingiberaceae) contain an abundance of essential oils, which have previously demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity. In our preliminary search for natural anti-tuberculosis agents, an acetone extract of A. tsao-ko (AAE) exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the principal compounds in an AAE against M. tuberculosis. Nine aliphatic compounds (1–9) including a new compound (1, tsaokol B) and a new natural unsaturated aliphatic diester (6), together with three acyclic terpenoids (10–12), were isolated from an AAE by repetitive chromatography. The structures of the isolates were determined by spectroscopic data analysis. All isolates were evaluated for activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Isolated compounds 1–6, and 11 had MICs ranging from 0.6–89 µg/mL. In contrast, compounds 7 to 10, and 12 had MICs that were >100 µg/mL. Tsaokol A (3) was the most active compound with MICs of 0.6 µg/mL and 1.4 µg/mL, respectively, against replicating and nonreplicating M. tuberculosis. These results are the first to illustrate the potency of tsaokol A (3) as a natural drug candidate with good selectivity for treating tuberculosis.

Published: December 2022

Chaetomium cupreum, a root endophyte in Miscanthus sinensis, enhances Al tolerance in M. sinensis by changing aluminum (Al) localization and the production of a siderophore, oosporein, which chelates Al for detoxification. Oosporein has various functions, including insecticidal activity, phytotoxicity, antifungal activity, and a siderophore. In our study, we focused on the detoxification effect of oosporein as a siderophore and on the growth of M. sinensis under Al exposure. In addition, the phytotoxicity of oosporein to M. sinensis was confirmed to compare with those in Lactuca sativa and Oryza sativa as control plants. Under Al stress, oosporein promoted plant growth in M. sinensis seedlings at 10 ppm, which was the same concentration as that detected in M. sinensis roots infected with C. cupreum in our previous study. Oosporein also showed low phytotoxicity to M. sinensis compared with L. sativa at even high concentrations of oosporein. These results suggest that the concentration of oosporein in M. sinensis roots would be maintained at the appropriate concentration to detoxify Al and would promote M. sinensis growth under Al stress, although oosporein would show low phytotoxicity to the natural host plant, M. sinensis, compared with the non-host plant, L. sativa.

Published: December 2022

It is well established that cold acclimation processes are highly influenced, apart from cold ambient temperatures, by light-dependent environmental factors. In this study we investigated whether an extra blue (B) light supplementation would be able to further improve the well-documented freezing tolerance enhancing effect of far-red (FR) enriched white (W) light. The impact of B and FR light supplementation to white light (WFRB) on hormone levels and lipid contents were determined in winter barley at moderate (15 °C) and low (5 °C) temperatures. Low R:FR ratio effectively induced frost tolerance in barley plantlets, but additional B light further enhanced frost hardiness at both temperatures. Supplementation of WFR (white light enriched with FR light) with B had a strong positive effect on abscisic acid accumulation while the suppression of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid levels were observed at low temperature which resembles the shade avoidance syndrome. We also observed clear lipidomic differences between the individual light and temperature treatments. WFRB light changed the total lipid content negatively, but monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) content was increased, nonetheless. Our results prove that WFRB light can greatly influence phytohormone dynamics and lipid contents, which eventually leads to more efficient pre-hardening to avoid frost damage.
Applications and Development of X-ray Inspection Techniques in Battery Cell Production

Published: December 2022

Demand for lithium-ion battery cells (LIB) for electromobility has risen sharply in recent years. In order to continue to serve this growing market, large-scale production capacities require further expansion and the overall effectiveness of processes must be increased. Effectiveness can be significantly optimized through innovative manufacturing technology and by identifying scrap early in the production chain. To enable these two approaches, it is imperative to quantify safety- and function-critical product features in critical manufacturing steps through appropriate measurement techniques. The overview in this paper on quality control in LIB production illustrates the necessity for improved inspection techniques with X-rays to realize a fast, online measurement of inner features in large-scale cell assembly with short cycle times and to visualize inner product-process interactions for the optimization in electrolyte filling. Therefore, two new inspection techniques are presented that contribute to overcoming the aforementioned challenges through the targeted use of X-rays. First, based on the results of previous experiments in which the X-ray beam directions were deliberately varied, a online coordinate measurement of anode-cathode (AC) overhang was developed using a line detector. Second, a new concept and the results of a continuous 2D visualization of the electrolyte filling process are presented, which can be used in the future to optimize this time-critical process step. By using a X-ray-permeable and portable vacuum chamber it is possible to quantify the influence of process parameters on the distribution of the electrolyte in the LIB.
Non-Conventional Reinforced EPS and Its Numerical Examination

Published: December 2022

In the last decades, the EPS (expanded polystyrene) and the XPS (extruded polystyrene) have become the most frequently used thermal insulation. Furthermore, the XPS has step resistant thermal insulation with higher strength. Nowadays in our current economic situation, the circular economy plays a significant role. That means we need to intend making a product that becomes waste as late as possible. Instead of a product, the goal is to return it to the economy as a basic material for a new product. Instead of generating waste, a new chance must be given by reusing it. Based on that consideration, our research work was in producing reinforced EPS material, which has the physical and thermal properties at least, as the XPS is much more expensive to produce. For reinforcement, materials have been chosen, in terms of its current life cycle, considered as product or waste. The first choice were plastic straws and cutleries that will be redrawn from the market. The next additives were renewable materials from agriculture like straws of wheat. It is essential for this research work to map the possible raw materials, i.e., EPS and XPS. The article collects the properties of the EPS and XPS and the related simulation methods that can be found in the literature.
Racism as a Social Determinant of Health for Newcomers towards Disrupting the Acculturation Process
Authors: Naidu Jessica , Paolucci Elizabeth Oddone , Turin Tanvir Chowdhury
Published: December 2022

Previous research has demonstrated that racism is a social determinant of health (SDOH), particularly for racialized minority newcomers residing in developed nations such as the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and European countries. This paper will focus on racism as a SDOH for racialized newcomers in these countries. Racism is defined as “an organized system of privilege and bias that systematically disadvantages a group of people perceived to belong to a specific race”. Racism can be cultural, institutional, or individual. Berry’s model of acculturation describes ways in which racialized newcomers respond to their post-migration experiences, resulting in one of several modes of acculturation; these are integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization. After examining the definition and description of racism, we argue that racism impacts newcomers at the site of acculturation; specifically, the paths they choose, or are forced to take in response to their settlement experiences. We posit that these acculturation pathways are in part, strategies that refugees use to cope with post-displacement stress and trauma. To support acculturation, which is primarily dependent on reducing the effects of cultural, institutional, and individual racism, health policymakers and practitioners are urged to acknowledge racism as a SDOH and to work to reduce its impact.
Online Commerce Pattern in European Union Countries between 2019 and 2020
Authors: Burlacioiu Cristina
Published: December 2022

The development of information technology, along with the high growth and diversification of consumer needs, has revolutionized the way in which business-to-consumer transactions occur. All this progress was boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic period in a different manner in each EU country, depending on different local aspects. The main goal of this paper is to determine the key characteristics of e-commerce in European Union countries in a pandemic context, based on Eurostat Digital Economy data for 2019–2020. Therefore, for an easier visualization, based on PCA, using 27 analyzed variables, new unique dimensions were revealed: 1. heavy online purchasers, 2. triggers for embracing digital purchasing, 3. perceived barriers against buying online (privacy concerns, security, or not having a card), 4. dynamics of online interaction with public authorities, and 5. enterprise online sharing. Moreover, clustering techniques set four groups of countries with different online commerce patterns that might require attention, according to their specificities, both from a government level and from a business perspective. Special attention is paid to Romania, which has one of the biggest e-commerce industries in Southeastern Europe, but with the share of e-commerce in total retail still quite low, despite this great increase. The models of other countries could be important in helping Romania to catch up with the most successful economies in terms of e-commerce.
Upper-Abdominal Cytoreduction for Advanced Ovarian Cancer—Therapeutic Rationale, Surgical Anatomy and Techniques of Cytoreduction
Authors: Bhandoria Geetu , Bhatt Aditi , Mehta Sanket , Glehen Olivier
Published: December 2022

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is the cornerstone of treating advanced ovarian cancer. Approximately 60–70% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer will have involvement in the upper abdomen or the supracolic compartment of the abdominal cavity. Though the involvement of this region results in poorer survival compared, complete cytoreduction benefits overall survival, making upper-abdominal cytoreduction an essential component of CRS for advanced ovarian cancer. The upper abdomen constitutes several vital organs and large blood vessels draped with the parietal or visceral peritoneum, common sites of disease in ovarian cancer. A surgeon treating advanced ovarian cancer should be well versed in upper-abdominal cytoreduction techniques, including diaphragmatic peritonectomy and diaphragm resection, lesser omentectomy, splenectomy with or without distal pancreatectomy, liver resection, cholecystectomy, and suprarenal retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Other procedures such as clearance of the periportal region, Glisson’s capsulectomy, clearance of the superior recess of the lesser sac, and Morrison’s pouch are essential as these regions are often involved in ovarian cancer. This manuscript covers the surgical anatomy of the upper abdomen, the techniques and therapeutic rationale of upper-abdominal cytoreduction, and specific measures for perioperative management of these patients. The main focus is the description of various peritonectomies and regional lymphadenectomies.
Simulation-Based Assessment of Cholera Epidemic Response: A Case Study of Al-Hudaydah, Yemen
Authors: Loo Pei Shan , Aguiar Anaely , Kopainsky Birgit
Published: December 2022

Cholera kills between 21,000 and 143,000 people globally each year. It is often fatal, killing up to 50% of the severely symptomatic patients; but death by cholera is preventable with timely treatment, so that the fatality rate can drop to less than 1%. Due to cholera’s multi-pathway transmission, a multifaceted and multi-sectoral approach to combat this disease is needed. Such complexity gives rise to uncertainty about where it is best to intervene, as stakeholders have to balance prevention and treatment under highly constrained resources. Using Al-Hudaydah, Yemen as a case study, this paper demonstrates how a system dynamics model can be built using a classic infection structure with empirically grounded operational structures: health treatment, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), vaccination, and a data surveillance system. The model explores the implications of the joint interventions with different start times. The model analysis revealed that the historical interventions likely prevented 55% more deaths in 2017 as compared to a counterfactual business-as-usual scenario with no interventions in the past. At the same time, some 40% of deaths could potentially have been prevented if interventions (with the same resources as historical data) had been initiated earlier in April 2017. Further research will explore each intervention impact for more detailed policy analysis and simulations into the future.

We aimed to investigate vaccine effectiveness against progression to severe COVID-19 (acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission and/or death) and in-hospital death in a cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Mixed effects logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the association between receiving a primary COVID-19 vaccination schedule and severe outcomes after adjusting for patient, hospital, and vaccination characteristics. Additionally, the effects of the vaccine brands including mRNA vaccines mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2, and adenovirus-vector vaccines ChAdOx1 (AZ) and Ad26.COV2.S (J&J) were compared to each other. This retrospective, multicenter cohort study included 2493 COVID-19 patients hospitalized across 73 acute care hospitals in Belgium during the time period 15 August 2021–14 November 2021 when the Delta variant (B1.617.2) was predominant. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients that received a primary vaccination schedule had lower odds of progressing to severe disease (OR (95% CI); 0.48 (0.38; 0.60)) and in-hospital death (OR (95% CI); 0.49 (0.36; 0.65)) than unvaccinated patients. Among the vaccinated patients older than 75 years, mRNA vaccines and AZ seemed to confer similar protection, while one dose of J&J showed lower protection in this age category. In conclusion, a primary vaccination schedule protects against worsening of COVID-19 to severe outcomes among hospitalized patients.
Combining Influenza and COVID-19 Booster Vaccination Strategy to Improve Vaccination Uptake Necessary for Managing the Health Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Tzenios Nikolaos , Tazanios Mary E. , Chahine Mohamed
Published: December 2022

Background: The uptake of COVID-19 booster vaccines has been significantly low. Therefore, it is questionable whether combining the COVID-19 booster vaccines with influenza vaccines can increase the population’s interest in taking such vaccines and manage the health pandemic effectively. Methodology: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a synthesis of the findings and summary of a total of 30 research articles based on the topic, ‘combining influenza and COVID-19 booster vaccination strategy’ was undertaken. The research articles were identified from three databases, namely, PubMed, Cochran Library, and Google Scholar using specific keywords and inclusion criteria. However, research articles that were not peer-reviewed and not published in English were excluded from the systematic review and meta-analysis. The average risk ratio of the intervention group getting a combination of COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccines from the samples of the included studies was 0.78 with regard to a 95% CI. Such risk ratio is based on the null hypothesis of the current study that combining COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccines can increase the uptake of COVID-19 booster vaccines. On the other hand, the heterogeneity between such studies was I2 = 35%, while the statistical significance of their findings occurred at p < 0.05. The average p-value of the included research studies was p = 0.62 with the proportion of studies with significant p-values being 63.33% which is equivalent to 19 out of 30 studies. Therefore, the null hypothesis was not rejected in more than half of the studies. Results: A synthesis of the chosen research articles revealed that when influenza and COVID-19 booster vaccines are combined, there is potential for an increase in the uptake of the latter, mainly because many populations have already been accustomed to taking influenza vaccines on an annual basis. Conclusions: In this way, through such findings, medical health experts can make informed decisions to increase the population’s willingness to receive the COVID-19 booster vaccines.

This study evaluated the impact of a continuing medical education (CME) program that emphasized actionable information, motivation to act, and skills to strengthen physician recommendations for seasonal influenza vaccination in children 6 through 23 months of age for whom influenza immunization rates are suboptimal. Physicians were randomly assigned to an accredited CME program or to no CME. Participants completed pre- and post-study questionnaires. Influenza immunization rates were compared between groups. A total of 33 physicians in the CME group and 35 in the control group documented 292 and 322 healthy baby visits, respectively. Significantly more parents immunized their children against influenza after interacting with CME-trained physicians than those with no CME training (52.9% vs. 40.7%; p = 0.007). The odds ratio for vaccination after visits with CME-trained physicians was 1.52 (95% confidence interval 1.09 to 2.12; p = 0.014), which was unaffected by the socioeconomic status of parents. Parents who discussed influenza vaccination with CME-trained physicians were 20% more likely to choose an approved but publicly unfunded adjuvanted pediatric influenza vaccine. The percentages of physicians reporting the highest levels of knowledge, ability, and confidence doubled or tripled after the CME intervention. Significantly more parents immunized very young children after interacting with physicians who had undergone CME training.

Published: December 2022

Livestock guardian (LGD) and herding shepherd (HSD) dogs have distinct morphological and behavioural characteristics, long selected by farmers and breeders, to accomplish different tasks. This study aimed to find the genomic regions that best differentiate and characterise Italian LGD and HSD. Genomic data of 158 dogs of four LGD and five HSD breeds, obtained with the 170K canine SNPchip, were collected. The two groups were compared using FST and XP-EHH analyses, identifying regions containing 29 genes. Moreover, 16 islands of runs of homozygosity were found in LGD, and 15 in HSD; 4 of them were partially shared. Among the genes found that better differentiated HSD and LGD, several were associated with dog domestication and behavioural aspects; particularly, MSRB3 and LLPH were linked to herding behaviour in previous studies. Others, DYSK, MAP2K5, and RYR, were related to body size and muscle development. Prick ears prevailed in sampled HSD, and drop ears in LGD; this explains the identification of WIF1 and MSRB3 genes. Unexpectedly, a number of genes were also associated with eye development and functionality. These results shed further light on the differences that human selection introduced in dogs aimed at different duties, even in a limited geographic area such as Italy.

Translatio ludorum. La recepción del ajedrez musulmán en el reino de Alfonso X
Authors: Martínez Sáez Nicolás
Published: December 2022

El ajedrez nunca ha sido un mero juego de tablero sino también reflejo de las tensiones filosóficas, ideológicas y sociales que vivieron sus jugadores en muchos periodos de la historia. Así pues, cuando los musulmanes reciben este juego a partir de las conquistas de Persia, lo modifican para que sea compatible con su sociedad. Con la expansión del Islam en la Península Ibérica, el juego entra en contacto con el mundo latino y español donde el rey Alfonso X hereda algunas problemáticas filosóficas en torno al juego, y lo utiliza como alegoría de los conflictos socio-políticos que atraviesa su propio reinado.

Общественно-политическое детерминанты положения польского меньшинства в Беларуси на кануне национального возрождения
Authors: Кручковский Тадеуш
Published: December 2022

После второй мировой войны поляки в Беларуси были лишены каких-либо институтов, которые обеспечивали бы групповую активность этой общности и развитие национального самосознания. Как следствие, количество людей, заявляющих о польской национальности, сокращается в течение нескольких десятилетий, а доля поляков, объявляющих польский своим родным языком, ограничивается. Существовал ряд ограничений, препятствовавших социальному продвижению поляков. В то же время они значительно дистанцировались от коммунистической партии и активно участвовали в жизни католического костела. В результате политики перестройки в конце 80-х годов появились условия для национального возрождения, что не было однозначно воспринято в различных кругах, часто опасавшихся роста значения польской общины.
Cyfrowy astroturfing jako instrument kreowania procesów politycznych. Zarys problematyki
Authors: Gałek Beata
Published: December 2022

Celem artykułu jest wprowadzenie w problematykę zjawiska cyfrowego astroturfingu, w kontekście kreowania procesów politycznych we współczesnych państwach. O ile astroturfing w tradycyjnych mediach doczekał się wielu opracowań, to astroturfing cyfrowy nie był intensywnie badany. W centrum zainteresowania jest definicja, kluczowe atrybuty, identyfikacja form i wskazanie na uczestników z jednej strony -  sponsorujących i z drugiej  realizujących operacje informacyjne, które mają na celu wpływanie na procesy społeczne i polityczne. Autorka podjęła próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o możliwe konsekwencje sztucznego inspirowania zjawisk politycznych przez ośrodki decyzyjne w aspekcie polityki wewnętrznej i funkcjonowania w środowisku międzynarodowym. W tym celu odwołuje się do wybranych przypadków i wskazuje na wspólne cechy i możliwe kombinacje stosowanych narzędzi. Podejmowanie rozważania mają charakter przeglądu literatury i stanowią próbę odpowiedzi na niedostatek akademickich badań dotyczących astroturfingu w internecie, a także przyczynek do dalszych badań.

Domestic violence has a huge impact on survivors who act as wives and husbands as perpetrators of violence. Domestic violence has make survivors trapped in an endless cycle of violence, this is caused by a learned feeling of helplessness and great disappointment towards their partner while still hoping that their partner's behavior changes. The impacts experienced by survivors of domestic violence can be in the form of traumatic experiences, threats, restraints, feelings of helplessness which ultimately lead to maladaptif behavior such as having the belief that they feel helpless in addition to the physical impact they feel. Resilience is needed so they can quickly recover from the experience of violence. In this study, there were five female survivors of domestic violence whose ages ranged from 23-44 years and were still married. We measured the resilience of these participants using a modified Resilience Scale which was built based on the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25) and was given positive psychotherapy intervention to increase their resilience score. The process of measuring resilience in survivors was carried out three times, pre-test, post-test and one week after the intervention was given. Using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test as an analytical procedure, it was found a significant effect after being given a positive psychotherapy intervention on survivor's resilience (z=-2.032, p <0.05). Resilience observed increased in survivors is in the form optimistic thinking, increased self-confidence, eliciting positive memories and emotions towards oneself, had a new source of hope and energy to deal with everyday problems.

This research is quantitative research using secondary data in the form of annual reports and financial reports. This study uses Pooled Least Square (PLS) with panel regression data processed through STATA 16. The results of this study found that exposure had a positive effect on the decision to add library members. The term of office simultaneously has a negative effect on the decision to add and remove members of the board of commissioners and the library. The company's performance has a positive effect on the reduction of commissioners. Online exposure and firm performance correlate with director turnover as a corporate governance control mechanism. This research has an implication to practitioners considering that one determining factor of director turnover is their exposures.
“El fuego acrisola el oro” El ejercicio de la enfermería durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en el Noroeste Argentino (Jujuy-Catamarca)
Authors: Jerez Marcelo , Reyna Carla
Published: December 2022

Este artículo analiza las implicancias de la pandemia del COVID 19 en el sector de enfermería en dos provincias específicas del Noroeste argentino: Catamarca y Jujuy. Allí, este estudio indaga los principales cambios que trajo consigo la pandemia en la labor profesional y en la vida doméstica del personal de enfermería a lo largo del 2020, año signado por el ingreso del COVID 19 al país, así como por su veloz desarrollo plasmado en el aumento de contagios y de la cantidad de fallecidos. En esta tarea hacemos hincapié no sólo en cómo se modificaron sus prácticas profesionales y cotidianas, sino también en sus representaciones y percepciones durante esta etapa. Los testimonios de un grupo de enfermeros y enfermeras, tanto de instituciones públicas como privadas, constituye la materia prima esencial de este trabajo. Desde esta perspectiva destacamos no solo los aspectos comunes de estas experiencias, sino también las especificidades en relación a las demandas y conflictos asociados a las particularidades propias y a los distintos momentos de la pandemia en los espacios abordados.
deconstrucción de la masculinidad hegemónica: historización de encuentros y experiencias en Santiago del Estero (Argentina)
Authors: Camaño Cristina María Angélica , Ferreiro Habra Ana Carolina
Published: December 2022

La construcción social patriarcal occidental naturaliza la superioridad masculina, habilitando el ejercicio de violencias contra las mujeres y sexualidades sexo-disidentes. De acuerdo a la cultura y al momento histórico, existe un modelo hegemónico de masculinidad que pretende regular y disciplinar las relaciones intra e inter género. En Argentina, son cada vez más los varones que, interpelados por los feminismos, están emprendiendo procesos colectivos para revisar sus privilegios y abandonar sus prácticas violentas.
En este trabajo, presentamos una cronología de las acciones destinadas a cuestionar la masculinidad normativa en la provincia de Santiago del Estero y analizamos dos talleres dirigidos específicamente a quienes se autopercibieran varones. Reconstruimos las problemáticas abordadas en ambos encuentros y los puntos de conflicto que consideramos más significativos, estructurando el análisis en cuatro ejes: la identidad feminista; la violencia contra las mujeres; la competitividad y complicidad en los vínculos con sus pares; y la importancia de los grupos de pares para promover nuevos procesos de subjetivación no-hegemónicos.
Rumbos de la politización, sexualidad y movilizaciones conservadoras
Authors: Sgró Ruata Candelaria
Published: December 2022

Las movilizaciones en oposición a la ampliación y reconocimiento de derechos sexuales y reproductivos no son un fenómeno nuevo pero presentan facetas renovadas que distintos escenarios sociales y políticos recientes pusieron en evidencia. En línea con algunos estudios que se están realizando en Latinoamérica, en este trabajo interesa pensar una de estas facetas renovadas relacionada con la ampliación de zonas de interpelación. En este sentido entendemos, la generación de espacios para la (re)producción de las visiones defendidas sobre la moral (sexual) en el debate público. Se exploran dos zonas que requieren atención: la formación de líderes dirigentes y los tanques de pensamiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es brindar –de la mano de ejemplos representativos- lecturas analíticas sobre las movilizaciones conservadoras en la política sexual actual y abrir interrogantes en esta dirección. Nuestro supuesto es que reflexionar sobre la transformación de los ordenes heteronormativos también implica comprender las distintas maneras que adopta la resistencia a estas transformaciones.
Cuando “dios y la patria lo demandan”: acerca de la (im)posibilidad queer del “folklore” argentino
Authors: Parody Viviana
Published: December 2022

En los últimos años, nuestras músicas y danzas se vieron interpeladas respecto de su prescripción a identidades sexogenerizadas que comenzaron a resultar “estrechas” frente a las lógicas (queer) recientemente habilitadas. En tanto producto de la modernidad, las músicas folklóricas arrastran criterios heteronormativos que, sin embargo, parecieran mantenerse reticentes a estas innovaciones. Partiendo de un trabajo etnográfico realizado sobre todo en el ámbito del desempeño de mujeres músicas dedicadas al “folklore”,  durante el artículo analizo estos nuevos bordes de desdibujamiento del sexo y el género que en el tango citadino se ven habilitados, y cuya “deconstrucción” pareciera resultar improbable tratándose  del “folklore argentino”. Se sostiene que este imaginario y su imposibilidad queer consecuente tendrían base en una articulación fundacional específica dada entre “patria” (o nación), género, y religiosidad, en tanto este complejo musical-danzario se yergue “desde el interior” de la nación como emblema principal de su mito fundacional gauchesco.
Aportes para el entrecruzamiento del género, los afectos y la participación en el campo argentino de estudios de juventudes
Authors: Gaitán Ana Cecilia
Published: December 2022

Aunque por décadas se han producido diversos estudios sobre las juventudes y sus prácticas políticas en la Argentina, poco se ha dicho aún respecto de cómo el género modela aquella diversidad de participaciones juveniles. Este artículo explora esta vacancia, consecuencia del acotado diálogo entre los estudios feministas y el campo de indagaciones locales sobre juventud y participación política, a la vez que explora las posibles contribuciones que las reflexiones feministas sobre la política, los afectos y emociones tienen para ofrecer a dicho campo. También ensaya nuevas preguntas y recorridos investigativos que, sin perder la problematización generacional, desafíen la dicotomía entre lo público y lo privado y pongan en primer plano el orden emocional y los momentos íntimos cotidianos y hasta banales, para comprender lo político.
