The Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in Enhancing Resiliency and Quality of Life Among Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial Study
Authors: Karimi Mohsen , Narenji Thani Fatemeh , Naqhsh Zahra , Ghazaghi Tahereh
Published: January 2022

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, common, and progressive disease of the nervous system, and the affected individuals suffer from its complications throughout their lives and experience different physical and emotional disorders. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral ‎therapy (CBT) in enhancing resiliency and quality of life among MS patients. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out on 30 MS patients referred to the Department of Neurology in Baqiyatallah Hospital (Tehran, Iran) during February 19 to September 1, 2017. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) ACT (n = 10, 8 sessions, 90-minute weekly‎ sessions), (2) CBT (n = 10, 10 sessions, 90-minute weekly‎ sessions), and (3) control group (n = 10, no sessions). The resilience and quality of life were measured in pre-test and post-test phases and 1.5 months after treatment using the Connor-Davidson Resilience and Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scales, respectively. Repeated measurement ANOVA and SPSS Software (version 24) were used in this study to analyze the collected data. Results: The study sample consisted of 30 MS patients (mean age = 31.7 ± 5.7, 60% female and 57% married). The three groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic and baseline variables. The results demonstrated that both ACT and CBT had the same effectiveness in increasing resiliency (mean difference in CBT = 0.9 vs ACT = 0.8 (P = 0.882); CBT = 0.9 vs. Control = -1.4 (P = 0.004); ACT = 0.8 vs. Control = -1.4 (P = 0.0041)) and quality of life (mean difference in CBT = 2.9 vs ACT = 3.1 (P = 0.051); CBT = 2.9 vs. Control = 0.6 (P = 0.002); ACT = 3.1 vs. Control = 0.6 (P = 0.014)) among the MS patients so that the participants’ post-test and follow-up scores increased significantly compared to the pretest scores. Conclusions: The present study results indicate that ACT and CBT can equally enhance resiliency and quality of life among MS patients.
Přirozené lesy v oblasti pramenů Javorné – malakozoologický ráj v Jeseníkách [The natural forests in the headwaters of the Javorná River – malacological Eden in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts (N Moravia, Czech Republic)]
Authors: Lacina Adam
Published: January 2022

The headwaters of the Javorná River is situated in the northern part of the Jeseníky Landscape Protected Area (N Moravia), north of the Rejvíz National Nature Reserve. A population of the endemic Vestia ranojevici moravica was found in this locality in 1968, cca 70 km far from its known distribution range in the N Moravia. During the recent inventory of this site 48 mollusc species were found including four rare dendrophilous clausilids: Bulgarica cana, Vestia ranojevici moravica, Cochlodina orthostoma and Clausilia cruciata. The beech and scree forests of this locality represent the most preserved malacological site in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts which should be strongly protected.
Měkkýši v nivě Milešovského potoka [Molluscs of the Milešovský Potok floodplain (Northwest Bohemia, Czech Republic)]
Authors: Horáčková Jitka , Ložek Vojen , Juřičková Lucie
Published: January 2022

This paper presents a research of mollusc assemblages in the Milešovský Potok floodplain (Northwest Bohemia, Czech Republic). Altogether, 72 mollusc species (70 species of Gastropoda, 2 species of Bivalvia) have been recorded at the selected sites during previous and recent researches in 1947–2010 representing 29% of the total Czech malacofauna. Widespread forest species dominate there (40% of all recorded species) with some less common woodland species such as Platyla polita, Oxychilus glaber, Macrogastra ventricosa, Sphyradium doliolum, and Perforatella bidentata. The rest of malacocoenoses is formed by mesophile species (22%), hydrophilous species (6%), species of wetlands (8%), freshwater habitats (8%) and species of open habitats (10%). Vertigo angustior, a rare wetland species protected by the NATURA system, and Helicella itala, endangered species of open habitats, were also found. The malacofauna of the Milešovský Potok stream can be used as a model of mollusc assemblages of natural floodplain environment in warm areas of Central Europe.
The Girdled Snail Hygromia cinctella (Draparnaud, 1801) new to the Czech Republic
Authors: Říhová Dagmar , Juřičková Lucie
Published: January 2022

The Girdled Snail (Hygromia cinctella (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Hygromiidae)) is recorded for the first time in the Czech Republic in Prague-Holešovice. Its occurrence in the Czech Republic has been expected since this terrestrial snail has been dispersing through neighbouring countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands) in recent decades. The number of non-native molluscan species in the Czech Republic now stands at 21.
Land snail fauna of the Humosu Secular Forest (Suceava County, Romania); a new locality of Serrulina serrulata (L. Pfeiffer, 1847) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Clausiliidae)
Authors: Páll-Gergely Barna , Roibu Cătălin-Constantin
Published: January 2022

The paper reports faunistic data on the land snail fauna of the protected beech forest reserve of Fagetul Secular Humosu (Suceava County, Romania). We found several species with Carpathian distribution, and the study area is probably the easternmost locality of these species. The Humosu Forest Reserve is the fourth locality of Serrulina serrulata (L. Pfeiffer, 1847) in Romania. The species survival requires occurrence of preserved old-growth forests with decaying tree trunks and logs.

Published: January 2022

Esse artigo abordou a temática de planejamentos pedagógicos para crianças com deficiência intelectual, numa perspectiva de articulação entre o Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) e a sala comum. O objetivo do estudo foi mapear as produções científicas que pudessem fornecer indicadores para auxiliar nesses planejamentos pedagógicos com perspectiva colaborativa. Tratou-se de uma revisão sistemática, com critérios e estratégias de busca que levaram em consideração a qualidade de uma revisão de literatura a partir da Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR). Os resultados indicaram 459 trabalhos considerando os termos mais relevantes vinculados à prática pedagógica no Tesauros Brasileiro de Educação, quais sejam: formação de professores, recursos de ensino e currículo. Após aplicação dos filtros, foram analisados na íntegra 74 estudos, cujos principais indicadores foram: atividades pedagógicas individualizadas e diferenciadas com utilização de adaptações curriculares; formação de professores com ênfase para uma assunção da pessoa com deficiência como sujeito que aprende; mediação do conhecimento e ênfase em colaboração entre os professores de apoio e da sala comum; práticas pedagógicas que consideram características e maneiras diferentes de acesso ao conhecimento. Concluímos que os estudos problematizam questões vinculadas ao campo da didática, porém, alguns ainda desconsideram aspectos da ação docente desenvolvida com e para essas crianças, priorizando elementos que promovem a participação delas em atividades da sala comum.

educação escolar indígena e o desenvolvimento de talentos entre os Terena: desafios e perspectivas
Authors: Chagas-Ferreira Jane Farias
Published: January 2022

O desenvolvimento dos talentos em comunidades não tradicionais é pauta emergente na educação de superdotados em vários países. Apesar dos avanços na legislação brasileira, ainda são incipientes as pesquisas com esta temática e inexistente o atendimento de alunos talentosos em comunidades indígenas. Diante desse desafio, este estudo de caso teve o objetivo de descrever como o talento é percebido e desenvolvido entre os Terena a partir da percepção de um de seus reconhecidos líderes. A recolha dos dados foi realizada por meio de análise documental e entrevistas. Os resultados evidenciaram a persistência de barreiras como: o preconceito e desconhecimento das potencialidades e talentos indígenas, a lacuna na formação de professores, a escassez de recursos e de oportunidades adequadas à diversidade cultural indígena. Com base nos resultados evidenciados, recomenda-se para pesquisas futuras a elaboração de indicadores para a formalização de processos de identificação e a oferta de atendimento educacional especializado para crianças e jovens Terena talentosos.

Hacia una orientación basada en evidencias: aplicación a un estudio sobre adolescentes y redes
Authors: Asensio Muñoz Inmaculada , Martín Martín Margarita , Bueno Álvarez José Antonio
Published: January 2022

En la actualidad, la calidad del desempeño de los orientadores depende de su competencia para obtener e interpretar información apoyada en evidencias. El desarrollo de esta competencia implica potenciar el rol del orientador como investigador e incluir en los programas de formación métodos y técnicas que le habiliten como tal. En este artículo se hacen dos propuestas concretas. Primero, se propone la revisión sistemática como método asequible y necesario de investigación secundaria para llegar a evidencias que guíen la práctica profesional y la innovación y que permitan delimitar el estado de la cuestión en cualquier tema de interés en orientación. Segundo, se plantea el uso de técnicas arborescentes en investigación primaria cuantitativa, porque se ajustan bien a la complejidad de los fenómenos que se estudian y a las características de los datos que se suelen manejar en el trabajo psicopedagógico. Dichas propuestas se ilustran con un ejemplo de investigación sobre un tema de interés actual para el orientador educativo: la relación de los adolescentes con las redes sociales. Tras un acercamiento sistemático destinado a dar respuesta a tres preguntas de revisión, se realiza un estudio empírico con árboles de decisión, para identificar perfiles de control parental, con datos de 857 estudiantes de secundaria madrileños usuarios de teléfono inteligente. Los resultados indican que los padres ejercen poco control sobre el uso que sus hijos hacen de la red y aportan aspectos diferenciales con implicaciones en la acción orientadora. Se concluye acerca de la utilidad en orientación del enfoque basado en evidencias.
Mejora de las prácticas orientadoras desde la revisión sistemática de estudios sobre eficacia escolar
Authors: Delgado-Galindo Pablo , Rodríguez-Santero Javier , Torres-Gordillo Juan-Jesús
Published: January 2022

Para contribuir al desarrollo integral del alumnado, principio básico de la orientación educativa, es necesario conocer las variables contextuales que afectan a la eficacia escolar (EE), entendida esta en términos de rendimiento académico. Es necesario estudiar el conjunto de factores que explica por qué un centro educativo posee resultados distintos a los que cabría esperar, atendiendo a su contexto social, económico y cultural. El informe Coleman (1966), que podría considerarse el precursor de este tipo de estudios, concluyó que el contexto del que procede el alumnado es lo más determinante en su progreso educativo. Numerosos investigadores han intentado rebatir esta conclusión, siendo uno de los tópicos de mayor actualidad en la orientación educativa. El objetivo de este artículo es aportar información sobre cuáles son las variables contextuales que guardan mayor relación con la EE y, a partir de ellas, contribuir a la mejora de la orientación educativa. Para tal fin, se ha desarrollado una revisión sistemática que ha supuesto la lectura en profundidad y el análisis cruzado de 64 documentos que recogen investigaciones en las que se abordan variables contextuales que afectan al rendimiento educativo del alumnado. Como resultado de este estudio se ha logrado conocer cuáles son las variables contextuales, coadyuvantes en la explicación de la EE, que pueden ayudarnos a contextualizar la orientación educativa. Las conclusiones alcanzadas revelan cómo podrían abordarse, desde la orientación educativa, estas variables que tan determinantemente marcan el devenir del alumnado en el centro educativo.

Authors: Albarracín Rodríguez Ángela Pilar , Montoya Arenas David Andrés
Published: January 2022

El bajo rendimiento académico influye en la repetición y deserción escolar afectando a la persona, su familia y la institución educativa siendo primordial proporcionar estrategias que favorezcan el logro académico y la permanencia de los estudiantes en colegios y universidades. El objetivo general de este estudio fue determinar la efectividad de un programa de intervención computarizado en funciones ejecutivas (ACTÍVATE+) diseñado para estudiantes con bajo rendimiento académico. Esta investigación tuvo un diseño cuasiexperimental pre-post con grupo control, se contó con una muestra de 104 estudiantes entre los 13 y 19 años que conformaron los dos grupos, un grupo experimental (n=46) y un grupo control (n=58). Ambos grupos recibieron sesiones de apoyo psicopedagógico y el grupo experimental recibió además el programa de intervención ACTÍVATE+. Asimismo, se aplicaron pruebas neuropsicológicas y se registró el rendimiento académico antes y después de la intervención. Los resultados evidenciaron que existen diferencias en el desempeño ejecutivo y rendimiento académico entre los grupos control y experimental después de la intervención. En conclusión, el programa ACTÍVATE+ se constituye en una herramienta eficaz en el entrenamiento de las funciones ejecutivas influyendo positivamente en el incremento del rendimiento académico de estudiantes con bajo desempeño escolar, tornándose en un instrumento de apoyo para los profesionales que orientan procesos psicopedagógicos en las instituciones educativas.
“LABIOS MÍOS TEMBLANDO, DEL PRECIOSO REGALO DE TU MANO, TIÑÉNDOSE”: LA HUELLA DE PABLO GARCÍA BAENA EN EL DEVOCIONARIO DE ANA ROSSETTI
Authors: MEDINA PUERTA Carmen
Published: January 2022

Este ensayo pretende evidenciar el magisterio que Pablo García Baena (Córdoba, 1921 – Córdoba, 2018), miembro fundador del grupo Cántico de Córdoba, ejerció en la obra poética de la escritora Ana Rossetti (San Fernando, 1950), particularmente en su poemario Devocionario (1986). Con este fin se lleva a cabo un análisis minucioso de la obra lírica de ambos que demuestra el gran número de rasgos estéticos que comparten. Entre los que sobresalen el uso de un lenguaje estetizante, rico en matices y detalles preciosistas, la exaltación de los sentidos y, principalmente, el empleo del imaginario católico al que los dos recurren con un propósito, más que religioso, decorativo. En última instancia, este estudio comparativo trata de iluminar algunas de las claves de Devocionario que la crítica, debido a una falta de comprensión, ha tendido a malinterpretar. Concretamente, se ha sobredimensionado el componente erótico del libro de la gaditana.
Abstract: This essay will address the influence of Pablo García Baena (Córdoba, 1921-2018), a founding member of the literary group Cántico (Córdoba), in the poetry of Ana Rossetti (San Fernando, 1950), particularly her book Devocionario (1986). To achieve this, attention is paid to the poetic work of both writers, showing common aspects in their aesthetics, such as the outstanding use of language —rich in nuances and details—, the exaltation of the senses, and, mostly, the use of Catholic imagery, to which both resort with a decorative rather than a religious purpose. This comparative study will also approach some of the keys of Devocionario, which has been misunderstood by the critics. Particularly, scholars have exaggerated the erotic component of this book.
REGISTROS AUTOBIOGRÁFICOS Y MEMORIA EN CUATREROS (2017) DE ALBERTINA CARRI
Authors: GÓMEZ GÓMEZ Agustín
Published: January 2022

Cuatreros (2017) de Albertina Carri parte de la historia de Isidro Velázquez, del que su padre escribió un libro, y sobre la que se realizó una película, Los Velázquez, que la dictadura argentina destruyó. A partir de ahí la directora narra su historia personal con el trasfondo del secuestro y asesinato de sus padres y la huella que ese hecho dejó en ella. La directora reflexiona sobre la implicación de ese personaje en lo personal, lo que nos lleva a la postmemoria, y lo colectivo, lo que enlaza con el acto afiliativo. Planteamos tres objetivos: situar el ensayo fílmico en la obra de la directora y el papel que juega el found footage y la polivisión o multipantalla; indicar las características que tiene como obra del yo (autobiografía y retrato autobiográfico), especialmente el uso de la voz off-screen; y realizar un análisis fílmico para comprobar las estrategias y mecanismos enunciativos.
Abstract: Albertina Carri’s Cuatreros (2017) takes as a starting point the story of Isidro Velázquez, about whom her father wrote a book, about which a film was made (Los Velázquez), which in turn the Argentine dictatorship destroyed. From there, the director tells her personal story against the background of the kidnapping and murder of her parents and the imprint that that fact left on her. The director reflects on the involvement of this character personally, which leads us to post-memory, and the collective, which links with the affiliative act. This article has three goals: place the filmic essay in the director’s oeuvre and the role played by the use of found footage and multivision or multiscreen; indicate the characteristics it has as a work of the self (autobiography and autobiographical portrait), especially the use of the off-screen voice; and carry out a film analysis to check the strategies and enunciative mechanisms.
JOSÉ RUIBAL Y SU MAJESTAD LA SOTA [1966]: LAS POLÍTICAS FRANQUISTAS Y EL PROCESO SUCESORIO COMO UN TUTE DE LA BARAJA ESPAÑOLA
Authors: COELLO HERNÁNDEZ Alejandro
Published: January 2022

Su Majestad la Sota [1966], de José Ruibal, pasó por censura en 1970 para ser representada, aunque fue finalmente prohibida a tan solo dos días de su estreno. Sin embargo, debido a este expediente de censura, se conserva el único ejemplar hasta ahora localizado. En el mecanoscrito, se pueden rastrear las relaciones entre la obra dramática y el régimen franquista, en especial con el proceso de sucesión que no se resolvió hasta 1969. Este trabajo pretende contextualizar el olvido en que ha caído esta pieza de Ruibal y analizar las correspondencias entre la realidad política y la construcción alegórica que realiza Ruibal a partir de la baraja española.
Abstract: José Ruibal’s Su Majestad la Sota [1966] was sent to the censorship for evaluation in 1970 and was not granted permission for its performance just two days before the opening night. However, the only known copy to date of this play has been preserved thanks to the censorship file, as it includes a typewritten version. The reading of this manuscript shows a series of references to the Francoist regime, particularly the succession of power, which was not cleared up until 1969. This paper aims to contextualize the oblivion this play has fallen into and to analyze the links between the Francoist political background and the interesting allegorical representation conceived by Ruibal, based on the traditional Spanish deck of cards.
HACIA UNA SEMIÓTICA DEL RELATO DE ACTUALIDAD
Authors: CID JURADO Alfredo Tenoch
Published: January 2022

El relato de actualidad es un medio recurrente para la comunicación del acontecer cotidiano. Una exploración en su definición, al observarlo desde la semiótica del relato y en distintas manifestaciones, permite conocer su estructura, su estrategia y su comportamiento. Mediante la identificación de relatos considerados de actualidad en su momento, es posible reconocer las estrategias de su funcionamiento y su valor, pero también sus riesgos. 
Abstract: The current story is a recurring medium for the communication of daily events. An exploration in its definition, in observing it from the semiotics of the story and in different manifestations, allows us to know its structure, its strategy and its behavior. Through the identification of stories considered current at the time, it is possible to recognize the strategies of their operation, their value but also their risks.
LOS PERVERSOS ESPACIOS-SANTUARIO EN LA NARRATIVA DE CRISTINA FERNÁNDEZ CUBAS
Authors: GARCÍA GARCÍA Patricia
Published: January 2022

La literatura fantástica de Cristina Fernández Cubas muestra una peculiar inclinación hacia espacios en que ciertos personajes se refugian para distanciarse de un mundo con el que no se identifican. La habitación de Nona (2015) ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre este tipo de espacialidad que hemos denominado espacio-santuario, recurrente en la producción de la autora desde la publicación de su primer volumen de cuentos en 1980. En este artículo exploramos la doble dimensión de este lugar de protección y alienación apoyándonos en la teoría de los borderscapes, las aportaciones antropológicas referentes al símbolo del santuario y el refugio, y mediante una perspectiva espacial del texto literario que supedita el concepto de trama al de dominio espacial. 
Abstract: Cristina Fernández Cubas’s fantastic fiction shows a peculiar preference towards spaces in which certain characters take refuge to distance themselves from a world with which they do not identify. La habitación de Nona (2015) offers new perspectives on this type of spatiality, which we have called sanctuary-space, recurrent in the author’s production since the publication of her first volume of stories in 1980. This article explores the double dimension of this place of protection and alienation with the support of the theory of borderscapes, through anthropological contributions regarding the symbol of the sanctuary and refuge and, from a spatial perspective on the literary text that subordinates the concept of plot to that of spatial domain.
NIGROMANCIA Y GÉNERO. LA BRUJA EN LA NARRATIVA DE PILAR PEDRAZA
Authors: CARRERA GARRIDO Miguel
Published: January 2022

En su literatura —normalmente vinculada a lo fantástico y lo gótico—, Pilar Pedraza pone énfasis en individuos al margen, a menudo monstruosos. Entre todas estas figuras, destaca la de la bruja. El artículo estudia cómo la concibe la autora. A partir de las ideas expuestas en Brujas, sapos y aquelarres (2014) y el repaso de las obras más representativas, busca dirimir en qué medida el tratamiento de Pedraza afecta a su poética como creadora de una narrativa insólita y hasta qué punto se puede hablar de un enfoque específicamente femenino —o feminista— de este tipo de ficción, sobre todo en su vertiente gótica. 
Abstract: In her literature —commonly linked to the fantastic and the gothic—, Pilar Pedraza focuses on individuals on the margins, often monstrous. Among all these figures, the witch stands out. The article studies the way the author conceives it. Based on the ideas exposed in Brujas, sapos y aquelarres (2014) and the analysis of the most representative works, it aims to determine to what extent Pedraza’s treatment affects her poetics as a producer of unusual fiction and to what extent we can consider it a specifically feminine —or feminist— approach to this type of fiction, especially on the gothic side.
“FLORA CAPILAR” Y OTRAS TRANSGRESIONES FANTÁSTICAS DEL PELO EN LA NARRATIVA HIPERBREVE DEL COLECTIVO MICROLOCAS
Authors: CRUZ TIENDA Ada
Published: January 2022

Pelos (2016), del colectivo Microlocas, es un libro de microrrelatos cuyas autoras despliegan un imaginario compartido donde el vello, denominador común del conjunto, a menudo cobra vida propia, en sentido figurado o literal. Este artículo se centra en los relatos propiamente fantásticos de la obra, con el objetivo de analizar las diversas formas de distorsión imposible que experimenta el cuerpo en sus narraciones, especialmente en aquellas en que dicha distorsión no solo transgrede lo humanamente posible, sino que también pone en entredicho las convenciones sociales tradicionalmente impuestas a una parte del cuerpo de naturaleza tan cambiante como es el pelo. 
Abstract: Pelos (2016), by Microlocas collective, is a book of flash fictions whose authors display a shared imaginary where hair, the common denominator of the whole, often takes on a life of its own, figuratively or literally. This article focuses on the actual fantastic stories of the collection, with the aim of analyzing the various forms of impossible distortion that the body experiences in its narratives, especially those in which such alteration not only transgresses what is humanly possible but also questions the social conventions traditionally imposed on a part of the body with such a changeable nature as the hair.

Review of vision screening referrals in children
Authors: Kurent Alma , Kosec Dragica
Published: January 2022

Background: Childhood vision screening is aimed at the detection of reduced vision due to amblyopia, thus enabling early diagnosis and timely intervention. The purpose of the study was to review the demographics and visual parameters of children referred to the ophthalmologist at Community Health Centre Ljubljana from Slovenian community-based vision screening program and define the visual outcome after treatment in children with amblyopia.

Methods: Retrospective medical records review of children referred from community-based vision screening program for further assessment. Medical records were reviewed to determine findings from ophthalmic assessments, treatment received, and visual acuity at the final visit. The main outcome measures were the cause of visual impairment and the visual acuity at the final follow-up visit.

Results: From 439 children (mean age 7.3 +/- 3.7 years) referred from community-based vision screening program, 75 children (17%; mean age 5.3 +/- 2.6 years) had amblyopia and received treatment. They had amblyogenic refractive error (3.67 +/- 2.44 diopters of sphere and 1.86 +/- 1.23 diopters of astigmatism) with uncorrected visual acuity on average 0.32 +/- 0.28 logMAR in the worse eye. Visual outcomes after treatment were good with a visual acuity of 0.04 +/- 0.07 logMAR in the worse eye, 60% of them had a visual acuity of 0.00 logMAR (40/40).

Conclusion: Children with amblyopia in the presented clinical sample were mostly diagnosed and treated before the school-age. These children showed significant improvement in visual acuity in the amblyopic eye.
Copla, flamenco y cine
Authors: Martínez del Baño Benito
Published: January 2022

Few are the artists who really triumph in the song, during the first years of life of the cinema, and of the radio, at the beginning of the 20th century. Within the historical context that we will proceed to establish, reference will be made to music, focusing on the copla and flamenco, in the period in which the cinematographic image lacks sound integrated into the film band, being synchronized for years film and album in trade passes. In the early twenties, the most famous singer was none other than Raquel Meller, especially in the field of cuplé, without forgetting Pastora Imperio, who excelled in flamenco. But a new voice would arrive, that of Conchita Piquer. The three artists, versatile where they exist, each one from their place, change the history of cinema by participating in the shootings to which they are summoned. History and even biographers continue to mix dates, titles and formats today. The time has come to put the first years of cinema in order again, now with Conchita Piquer, who is the first Spanish artist to shoot a sound short film outside of Spain.

Pocos son los artistas que realmente triunfan en la canción, durante los primeros años de vida del cine, y de la radio, a principios del siglo XX. Dentro del contexto histórico que procederemos a establecer, se realizará referencia a la música, centrándonos en la copla y el flamenco, en el periodo en que la imagen cinematográfica carece de sonido integrado en la banda de película, siendo sincronizado durante años película y disco en los pases comerciales. En los primeros años veinte, la más famosa cantante no es otra que Raquel Meller, sobre todo en el campo del cuplé, sin olvidar a Pastora Imperio, quien destacaba en el flamenco. Pero, llegaría una nueva voz, la de Conchita Piquer. Las tres artistas, polivalentes donde las haya, cada una desde su sitio, cambian la historia del cine al participar en los rodajes a los que son convocadas. La historia e incluso los biógrafos, continúan actualmente entremezclando fechas, títulos y formatos. Ha llegado el momento de poner en orden, nuevamente, los primeros años del cine, ahora con Conchita Piquer, quien es la primera artista española en rodar fuera de España un cortometraje sonoro.
Siguiendo la estela de Enrique Morente
Authors: Gómez Sánchez Daniel
Published: January 2022

Flamenco is an art form that traditionally has been taught orally. The Taller de Musics opened its doors in Barcelona in the year 1979 providing another cultural frame (Martí, 2002b) to learn flamenco. In the present article the objective is to find the influence of the cantaor and creator Enrique Morente in the artist Rosalía through her cante teacher José Miguel Vizcaya Sánchez Chiqui de la Línea, first at the Taller de Músics and later at the ESMUC. Both, Enrique Morente and Rosalía recorded their first album being twenty-five years old, although their backgrounds, learning and realities were different. Later on, Morente’s album Despegando became a deep inspiration that conditioned Rosalía as an artist and creator that will be revealed throughout the article. It seems like the transversal influence of Morente helped Rosalía take of “con altura”.

El flamenco es un arte que tradicionalmente se ha enseñado de manera oral. El Taller de Músics abrió sus puertas en Barcelona en el año 1979 proporcionando otro marco cultural (Martí, 2002b) para aprender flamenco. En el presente artículo se pretende analizar la influencia del cantaor y creador Enrique Morente en la artista Rosalía, a través de su profesor de cante José Miguel Vizcaya Sánchez Chiqui de la Línea, primero en el Taller de Músics y después en la ESMUC. Tanto Enrique Morente como Rosalía grabaron su primer álbum con la edad de veinticinco años, aunque desde procedencias, aprendizajes y realidades diferentes. Más adelante, el álbum Despegando de Morente se convirtió en una inspiración de gran calado que permeó en Rosalía en su faceta como artista y creadora que se desvelará a lo largo del artículo. Todo apunta a que la influencia transversal de Morente ayudó a Rosalía a despegar “con altura”.

La poesía en la vanguardia o la singularidad flamenca de Enrique Morente
Authors: Fernández Lam-Sen Elizabet
Published: January 2022

Este artículo explora la relación existente entre Enrique Morente y la poesía culta adoptando como referencia su obra musical, la cual abarca casi medio siglo. Gracias a este vínculo tan particular, el artista logró construir su propio concepto de vanguardia sin que se produjese nunca una ruptura con la tradición proveniente. Así indagaremos en lo que supuso para el cantaor términos como “tradición” o “vanguardia”, pero siempre atendiendo a su conexión con la poesía culta, lo que significó la apertura de su arte flamenco hacia una trascendencia y una universalización absolutamente distintivas.
Inside Chinese Theatre: Cantonese Opera in Canada
Authors: Rao Nancy Yunhwa
Published: January 2022

Opera theatre forms an important part of Chinese Canadian cultural history. Since first appearing in Victoria in the 1860s, Chinese theatres were woven into the community’s everyday life, performing Cantonese opera, the regional genre known to the majority of Chinese immigrants who came from the Pearl River Delta of southern China. A brief survey of historical city maps from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century shows their central role in Chinese Canadian community of the Pacific Northwest. Recent discovery of a Chinese theatrical company’s daily business receipts provides a window into the performance culture and daily operations of a Chinese theatre between 1916 and 1918 in Vancouver. This vibrant period of the 1910s paved the way for full-fledged theatre operation in the following decade that brought about a new era of Chinese opera performance in Canada.

Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare, extra-pulmonary form of tuberculosis caused by mycobacteria of the tuberculosis complex. It is characterized by clinical polymorphism often posing a difficult diagnostic challenge. Herein, we report a case of cutaneous tuberculosis in its warty form located on the nose. This was a 57-year-old patient who was infected in the classroom three months previously while taking lessons from a woman with pulmonary tuberculosis. A facial examination revealed a blackish, papillomatous patch invading almost the entire nose, with a keratotic surface spreading over the wings of the nose. The diagnosis of verrucous tuberculosis was reached on the basis of epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical arguments. Under anti-tuberculosis treatment for six months, the lesion had healed without sequelae. The diagnosis of verrucous cutaneous tuberculosis must be established in the presence of any chronic and crusty lesion. The management responds to the treatment protocol for all forms of tuberculosis.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare yet well-known cutaneous reaction pattern, mostly caused by drugs. Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a localized variant of AGEP. A 42-year-old female presented with multiple erythematous pustules on the face, which appeared three days after the intramuscular injection of piroxicam. Histopathology revealed subcorneal pustules, epidermal spongiosis, and mixed inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis. The pustules resolved within several days once the patient had discontinued the drug. Herein, we report the first case, as far as we know, of a female with a cutaneous drug reaction consistent with ALEP caused by piroxicam.
Metastatic basal cell carcinoma: A report of two cases and a review of the literature
Authors: Quigley Claire , Raghallaigh Siona Ni
Published: January 2022

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are among the most common non-melanoma skin cancers in the world. However, given their slowly progressive nature, metastatic BCCs are a relatively uncommon entity. Below, we discuss two separate cases of metastatic BCC that we encountered in our clinical practice. The first is the case of a 57-year-old male with a right cheek BCC and bilateral pulmonary metastases. The second is the case of a 71-year-old male who also presented with a right BCC and pulmonary metastases. We discuss their altered clinical courses. We also conducted a review of the literature focusing on the use of the relatively novel hedgehog inhibitors as a treatment option for individuals diagnosed with metastatic BCC.
Isolated pilomatricoma of the arm: A case and a review of the literature

Published: January 2022

Pilomatricoma is a relatively rare tumor of the skin derived from primitive basal cells of the epidermis that differentiate into hair matrix cells. These tumors appear as solitary, firm nodules, showing a normal to pearl white epidermis. Its most frequent locations are the head and neck, while involvement of the upper extremities is relatively uncommon. Herein, we present the case of a seventeen-year-old female with pilomatricoma of the arm and review the literature regarding pilomatricomas of the upper extremities. The diagnosis of pilomatricoma is confirmed histologically and its treatment is based on surgical excision. Because of the low incidence and variable clinical presentation, pilomatricoma is a tumor not commonly suspected preoperatively. This presentation may help clinicians to diagnose this entity more effectively and decrease the rate of misdiagnosis.
Progress of different treatment modalities to limit the use of antibiotics in the treatment of acne
Authors: Sanjel Kiran , Zhang Xue Mei
Published: January 2022

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases, affecting mainly teenagers. Its treatment procedure is complex, with a long duration of medication. Antibiotics are the most preferably prescribed drugs for the treatment of acne. The long-term use of antibiotics leads to various adverse effects such as the disruption of indigenous flora and resistance. Therefore, numerous therapeutic protocols such as antimicrobial stewardship have been proposed to limit the haphazard use of oral antibiotics. This review emphasizes different topical drugs, systemic alternative drugs, laser, and light therapy, as effective therapies for acne. This review also briefly reflects the efficacy of fire needle therapy—a traditional Chinese therapy—for acne.

Sir, Mycosis fungoides is a primary cutaneous T–cell lymphoma, secondary clonal proliferation of mature skin-homing T cells, mostly CD4-positive, with a predilection for involving the epidermis. It is an indolent lymphoma that progresses over several years and represents 50% of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas [1]. Its clinical presentation is variable, thus leading to several clinical variants. Herein, we describe a rare variant of mycosis fungoides: pityriasis lichenoid-like mycosis fungoides. A 45-year-old female was referred to our department with a papular rash evolving for the last year without regression. The patient had a history of breast carcinoma in complete remission for two years. A clinical examination revealed erythematous, scaly, non-itchy papules covering the entire body but sparing the face (Figs. 1 and 2). There was no scalp involvement or associated lymphadenopathy. Based on the clinical presentation, the suggested diagnosis was pityriasis lichenoid. A histological examination revealed Pautrier’s microabscesses, atypical lymphocyte infiltration along the basal layer and papillary dermis, and prominent epidermotropism (Fig. 3). There was pilotropism without mucin. Besides, hyperkeratosis with focal parakeratosis and perivascular infiltrate were noted. An immunohistochemical analysis revealed infiltrates of T cells expressing CD3, CD2, CD5, and a predominance of CD4-positive T cells in the epidermis compared to CD8-positive T cells. CD7 and CD30 were, however, negative. These findings were consistent with pityriasis lichenoid-like mycosis fungoides. The patient was classified as a IB stage and received UVB phototherapy with good progress.
Effects of plaster therapy on thigh fat
Authors: Gonçalves Sara
Published: January 2022

Background: Thigh fat is associated with high cardiometabolic risks, attenuate risk for dyslipidemia, and glucose intolerance. Aerobic exercise has been linked to fat metabolization due to the increase of free fatty acid oxidation and the preservation of muscle glycogen. Plaster therapy, a beauty treatment that allows the quick elimination or reduction of cellulite, flaccid skin, and localized fat, eliminating liquid from the body, producing improvements that are not only aesthetic but also health-wise, may be used to maximize fat loss in the thigh area and complement exercise. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of plaster therapy in combination with aerobic exercise on thigh fat. Methods: Six female volunteers were randomly divided into an intervention group (TG; n = 3) performing an aerobic exercise with plaster therapy and a control group (CG; n = 3) performing only aerobic exercise. Subcutaneous fat was estimated by the analysis of skinfolds and thigh perimeters. Results: The treatment group demonstrated a significant decrease (p ≤ 0.05) in subcutaneous fat at the left and right perimeters and thigh skinfold measurements at the end of the 10-session protocol. Conclusion: Comparing skinfold measurements, both groups revealed a statistically significant decrease in the perimeter of both left and right thighs. Furthermore, skinfold measurements showed, for the treatment groups, significant statistical results in the thigh area. Exercise is indeed one of the most critical components for the metabolism of fat. Plaster therapy in combination with aerobic exercise seems to be effective for thigh fat reduction.
