Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVES

This study aims to generate a predictive model stratifying the probability of requiring hospitalization and inpatient respiratory intervention for croup patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), and secondarily to compare the model’s performance with that of ED providers.

METHODS

Retrospective data was collected on croup patients presenting to the EDs of 2 pediatric and 1 community hospital from 2019 to 2020, including demographics, preexisting conditions, and history of croup. The ED length of stay, previous dexamethasone administration, time to ED dexamethasone, number of ED racemic epinephrine doses, viral testing, and ED revisits were also recorded. Westley croup scores were derived at ED presentation and final disposition. For admitted patients, any respiratory interventions were recorded. Admission need was defined as either admitted and required an inpatient intervention or not admitted with ED revisit. A prediction model for admission need was fit using L1-penalized logistic regression.

RESULTS

We included 2951 patients in the study, 68 (2.3%) of which needed admission. The model’s predictors were disposition Westley croup scores, number of ED racemic epinephrine doses, previous dexamethasone administration, and history of intubation. The model’s sensitivity was 66%, specificity was 91%, positive predictive value was 15%, and negative predictive value was 99%. ED providers’ performance had a sensitivity of 72%, a specificity of 94%, a positive predictive value of 23%, and a negative predictive value of 99%.

CONCLUSIONS

The croup admission need predictive model appears to support clinical decision making in the ED, with the potential to improve decision making when pediatric expertise is limited.

Published: July 2022

The assessment of allergic sensitization of 894 patients (478 and 416 of them examined in 2018 and 2019, respectively) who were examined at the consultative and Diagnostic center of G.N. Gabrichevsky Scientific Research Institute for Epidemiology and Microbiology, Moscow, for some mold fungi was carried out by measuring serum specific IgE antibody level by using a highly specific and highly sensitive immunoblot method (RIDA AllergyScreen test systems, R-Biopharm AG, Germany). The prevalence of patients with elevated levels of specific IgE antibodies to mold fungi Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum and Penicillium notatum was found. All the examined patients at each time point was divided into two age groups: group 1 children aged 1 to 17 years, 548 children within the two-year period (303 of them girls and 245 boys), group 2 adults aged at least 18 years old, 346 subjects within the same period (231 of them women and 115 men). Results. In 2018, out of 478 serum samples, atopic sensitization to mold fungi was detected in 25.3% (n = 121) of the examined subjects, of which 17.9% (n = 86) and 7.4% (n = 35) was found in group 1 and group 2, respectively. In 2019, out of 416 serum samples, atopic sensitization to mold fungi was detected in 20.7% (n = 86) of the examined subjects, of which 13.5% (n = 56) and 7.2% (n = 30) was found in group 1 and group 2, respectively. In 2018, out of 121 positive samples, specific IgE antibodies to various mold fungi were slightly more often detected in females 53.7% (n = 65), of which 75.3% (n = 49) and 24.7% (n = 16) were girls and women, respectively. In contrast, in 2019, out of 86 positive samples, specific IgE antibodies to various mold fungi were slightly more often detected in males reaching 51.2% (n = 44), of which 79.5% (n = 35) and 20.5% (n = 9) were boys and men, respectively. Atopic sensitization to the mold fungus Alternaria alternata was most often detected: during the study period, out of 207 positive samples, it was found in 186 samples (89.9%). Serum IgE antibodies to mold fungi are more often detected in children under 17, in sex-independent manner.

One of the most important issues of regional development and planning is to determine the factors influencing the decision-making on the placement of new companies. The purpose of the study is to study the influence of socio-economic and tax factors on business decisions regarding the territorial location of a company in Russia. Panel data for the period 2017–2021 are considered. in all regions of Russia. We have determined a set of tax factors (revenues to the consolidated budgets of regions, the federal budget, the local budget) and socio-economic factors (the number of priority development areas in the region, the number of closed companies, the average salary in the region, the presence of a million-plus city in the region , the number of able-bodied population in the region, the year the company was opened and the region where the company operates). These factors may have the greatest influence when deciding on the location of a business; they will to a greater extent characterize the situation as a whole in the country or federal district. The tools of correlation-regression analysis were applied. The developed models make it possible to assess the significance of each of the factors at the country level and at the level of federal districts, as well as to identify which areas of regional policy needs to be worked on to create attractive conditions for attracting new companies. The study confirmed two hypotheses. First, it is confirmed that the tax factor is a significant factor when deciding on the territorial location of a business in Russia. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the tax factor in Russia as a whole is not of high importance, but in some federal districts it is a significant factor. Second, it is confirmed that tax and socio-economic factors have a different impact in different regions when deciding on the territorial location of a business in Russia. The results show that the most significant factors are the factors of socio-economic development of the region and the presence of large cities.

Published: July 2022

The globally distributed necrotrophic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina is the causal agent of economically important crop diseases such as soybean charcoal rot. This fungus secretes a wide variety of proteins and metabolites that allow it to invade the plant and initiate the infection process. The role of fungi secreted proteins with hydrolytic activity in the infection process has been extensively studied; proteins without enzymatic activity could also play an important role in this process. The analysis of total proteins would allow to broaden the knowledge about this pathogen and establish more efficient strategies for its control. The objective of the present work was to evaluate three methods for the extraction of proteins secreted by M. phaseolina. The fungus was grown in potato dextrose broth (PDB) and Czapek-Dox (CZP) with and without soybean leaf supplementation. Proteins were extracted from the lyophilized filtrate of PDB medium using three extraction methods and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The protein precipitation with trichloroacetic acid in acetone was selected because it showed a better resolution of the protein profile. The filtrate of M. phaseolina grown in PDB supplemented with soybean (MpPDBs) presented the highest yield of protein extraction of secreted proteins among all conditions evaluated. The protein profiles of PDB medium with and without supplementation showed seven differential bands, one of the specific, detected in MpPDBs. These results constitute a basis for studies on the implication of proteins secreted by the fungus in the infection process.

Furthermore, advances in artificial intelligence methods and their successful application in core technical domains opened up new possibilities to support Humanities research in particularly demanding and challenging tasks. This paper focuses on the forthcoming future of intelligent applications in archaeology and cultural heritage, by reviewing recent developments ranging from deep and reinforcement learning approaches to recommendation technologies in the extended reality domain.
The Students’ Perceptions of Arabic and English as a Medium of Instruction in Jordan
Authors: Al-Shboul Othman Khalid
Published: July 2022

This research paper investigates students’ perceptions of whether English or the indigenous language (Arabic) should be used as a medium of instruction in English learning centers at the pre-intermediate level. This argument which is of both sides (Arabic or English should be used as a medium of instruction) has been investigated through students’ responses. While there has been a great deal of research into students’ perception of EMI in education, this study offers deeper explanations, from a psychological perspective, of why students prefer EMI despite the difficulty, which would negatively affect their attitudes toward English. In this study, the researcher employed a questionnaire survey to elicit some data from the participants studying in the EFL centers to present substantial evidence, represented by this study’s findings, consulted, and supported by psychology-based explanations. Among the main findings is that although the participants of this study hold positive attitudes toward their native language (Arabic), they prefer to use English to Arabic as a medium of instruction. This study also found that awareness associated with business plays a key role in this preference.

THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN THE EMERGENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Authors:   Institute of Geography ANAS, Baku, Azerbaian Republic, Eminov Zakir
Published: July 2022

Aim of the research is to study the role of environmental factors, economic sectors, the development of technology in the occurrence of diseases. Results: Result of the research, the role of environmental events, namely physical, chemical, biological, socio-cultural factors in the development of diseases was investigated. In particular, the lack of toxic substances in the body is a direct cause of cardiovascular disease. The emergence of diseases such as cardiac arrhythmia, ischemic heart injury, cardiomyopathy, peripheral artery occlusion, coronary artery disease, hypertension, etc. is always relevant today. The most common cause of selenium deficiency is an element that occurs naturally in the soil and has an antioxidant effect, passing into the body through food and drinking water.. The article explains that epidemiological and clinical observations in the development of cardiovascular diseases are influenced not only by the main risk factors and genetics, but also by environmental factors. Experts have shown that minerals or chemicals in the soil play an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. In particular, physical and chemical pollution of the environment increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many studies have linked the effects of chemicals to coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmias. Chemicals, especially arsenic, lead, cadmium, various pollutants and solutions, pesticides, play an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. This depends on the strength of the chemicals entering the body and the effectiveness of the body's defense mechanisms, as well as symptoms such as the duration of exposure. In places subject to prolonged exposure to chemicals, methyl chloride can also cause acute toxic effects such as acute myocardial infarction. Scientific novelty: As a result of the research, the role of environmental events, namely physical, chemical, biological, socio-cultural factors in the development of diseases was investigated.

The article is devoted to the development of the author's methodology for assessing the potential of gastronomic tourism in the region. But the past 2021 has changed the gastronomic preferences and views on fashion food around the world. After all, now a lot is being prepared in the home kitchen, a trip to a restaurant can be called an unusual adventure, and people are increasingly thinking about healthy eating and use products to maintain immunity. The global hospitality industry during the pandemic period supports the tourism sector in every possible way, unites to help overcome this global state of emergency and supports recovery efforts. One of the effective measures is the new companies from the UNWTO, one of which is dedicated to the unique opportunity to share the main dish of their country, showing how the culinary heritage reflects a sense of community and culture. Goal. In the age of the coronavirus, people began to think more and more about healthy eating. Every year the planet makes its changes in the culture of nutrition. Some of them are global gastronomic trends, others depend on the region and the mentality of the population, which affects gastronomic tourism and tourist preferences, the resumption of gastronomic tours and the economy as a whole. Method. In order to systematize the existing methodological developments in the field of assessing the gastronomic potential of the research area through the prism of the implementation of cluster initiatives, the basic concepts to be operated are identified. The methods and techniques of estimation which are necessary at an estimation of potential of gastronomic tourism of territory are studied. The author proposed his own approach to assessing the potential of gastronomic tourism on the example of the Right Bank Polesie of Ukraine, which is unique not only in geographical location, landscape diversity, but also in the number of unique natural and cultural-historical sites. Results. The author's method of estimating the potential of gastronomic tourism on the example of the Right-Bank Polesie of Ukraine is developed. A cartographic model of gastronomic tourism potential has been created, the theme and main object of which is an integrated indicator of gastronomic potential within physical-geographical areas, created by means and on the basis of the author's algorithm that fits into the general methodological scheme of geoinformation mapping. Scientific novelty. For the first time the author's approach to an estimation of potential of gastronomic tourism of the Right-bank Polesie of Ukraine is offered, the cartographic model of potential of gastronomic tourism is created. Practical significance. Gastronomic tourism is one of the key tools to attract tourists and increase the tourist attractiveness of the territory. The potential of gastronomic tourism will be the driver of the development of unattractive areas and unpresentable destinations, which will reveal their own authentic gastronomic magnets.
Addressing Overdose Risk among Recently Incarcerated People Living with HIV
Authors:   , Reed Megan K. , Lankenau Stephen
Published: July 2022

Introduction As the opioid overdose crisis enters its third decade, certain groups are disproportionately impacted. Some, such as those exiting incarceration and people living with HIV (PLWH), have always been at increased risk for a fatal opioid overdose. Others, such as those who use non-opioids, may be newly at risk due to fentanyl contamination of non-opioid street drugs. There is an urgent need to provide overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) and other harm reduction interventions to these groups; however, little is known about risk reduction needs specific to these groups. Methods OEND trainings were given to incarcerated PLWH inside the Philadelphia Department of Prisons. Qualitative interviews about OEND training, overdose experiences, and other harm reduction behaviors were conducted with formerly incarcerated PLWH who used illegal drugs before and after their most recent incarceration. Results OEND trainings were given to 120 incarcerated PLWH and 18 PLWH with a history of incarceration participated in qualitative interviews about OEND training experiences; analysis of needs specific to people who use non-opioids was conducted with the 15 of 18 qualitative participants who used non-opioids. Incarcerated people who received OEND training demonstrated improved overdose knowledge and attitudes about managing a witnessed overdose. Most participants had witnessed overdoses before and after their most recent incarceration and cited altruism as a motive for receiving OEND training and for helping other people. These same participants, however, expressed concern that assisting during an overdose may jeopardize their liberty due to potential interaction with law enforcement. OEND trainings as delivered did not appear to adequately heighten participant concerns about their own potential for experiencing an opioid overdose. This was especially true among those who use non-opioid drugs, despite knowing that the drug market was shifting and there was potential for non-opioid drugs to be contaminated with fentanyl. These same participants believed they would have difficulty recognizing an overdose in someone they perceived as using only non-opioids. All qualitative participants indicated a willingness to use harm reduction techniques to stay safer when using drugs, including a willingness on the part of people who use non-opioids to utilize fentanyl test strips. Conclusion Addressing overdose risk among people who are being released from correctional facilities is a complex process that involves a targeted approach to fully address the unique needs of this population. OEND trainings in correctional settings are feasible and acceptable for incarcerated people. However, formerly incarcerated people have concerns related to assisting in an overdose due to a desire to avoid contact with law enforcement. OEND trainings should address these needs.

Published: July 2022

The article analyses with the use neoliberal theory of international relations the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) activities in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The purpose of this study is to show the interaction between the member-states within the framework of ACTO in matters of socio-economic and environmental problems in the Amazon Basin. The Sustainable Development Strategy has received support in Latin American region, where one can see a growing awareness that efficient response to new challenges requires increased action not only at the national, but also at the regional and global levels. Though the situation in a range of integration associations in Latin America impedes regional cooperation in the implementation of common programs aimed at promoting sustainable development, the ACTO activities become increasingly important in achieving the SDGs in one of the most vulnerable areas in the world – the Amazonia. This article covers for the first time the achievements of ACTO in the process of implementing the SDGs, interaction between countries in terms of ensuring multidimensional security in the Amazon Basin. At the same time it specifies areas where they need to make additional efforts. As a result of the study, we come to the following conclusions: 1) the problems of sustainable development specific to the Amazonian area have a cross-border and complex nature, which requires a joint policy of the Amazonian countries to solve them; 2) the mechanism of interaction between South American countries in the ACTO format is an important component in tackling socio-economic and environmental challenges in the Amazonian area; 3) thanks to the cooperation of ACTO with both governmental and non-governmental institutions and with extra-regional countries, joint projects are being implemented to address problems in the Amazonian area; 4) ACTO is an example of a supranational organization that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs, which has a positive impact on the process of achieving the SDGs by 2030 on a global scale.
Network Dynamics of Technology Diffusion in International Arms Transfers
Authors: Maltsev A.
Published: July 2022

This article explores the role of technology proliferation within the international arms trade as the major part of political structure of international system. The first part of the article suggests a brief overview of the existing studies of international arms transfer as an integral system in international relations, specifically emphasizing the impact of Krause’s (1992) “diffusion of technology” theoretical concept on the literature of 1990–2000-s. The focus of the review is on the intersection between the studies of specific technological transfers and more generalized empirical research works reveals an interesting scientific puzzle – on the one hand key arms manufacturer states accumulate most of the military R&D thus securing their place on the top of the suppliers’ hierarchy, but on the other hand more and more states acquire capabilities to produce military hardware and they more willingly interact with each other establishing strong horizontal bonds with each other to achieve some political independence and maximize economic efficiency (so-called globalization of arms production). In the second part of the article, the network-based approach is suggested as a solution to the market-hierarchy paradox, with some overview of the latest research of arms transfers via Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodology. The third and the last part of the article provides first empirical investigation of the international military technology transfers using original operationalization approach based on SIPRI Arms Transfer Database information of localized production interstate transfers. Finally, the network graphs are constructed to compare general centrality metrics and locate network communities using the Blondel’s method for community detection. The network topology demonstrates significant interconnections between secondary suppliers within technology transfers sub-network, compared to “regular” transfers sub-network, as well as the existence of a “feedback loop” for the license transfers. Overall the empirical results provide positive evidence for Krause’s “diffusion of technology” concept and also support previous network studies of dissimilarities between USA and USSR dependent sub-network – the asymmetry between them appears to be even more stark on the license transfers data.
Contamination of Aerosol with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Introduced via Mouthpiece in Different Nebulizer Designs
Authors: Dailey Patricia , Fink James
Published: July 2022

Background: Nebulizers have been associated with bacterial and viral contamination likely from drooling or expulson of oral secretions into the nebulizer mouthpiece. We hypothesized that simulated “drooling” could result in contamination of the nebulizer medication resulting in aerosolization of potential pathogens. Method: We evaluated four nebulizers: Continuous jet nebulizer (CJN: MistyMax, Allegiance, USA), breath enhanced (BEN:LC Sprint; Pari, Germany), breath actuated (BAN; AeroEclipse Monaghan/Trudell, Canada) and vibrating mesh nebulizer (VMN; Aerogen with Ultra, Aerogen Ltd, Galway, Ireland) operated per manufacturer recommendations with 3 mL of NSS. Pseudomonas aeruginosa broth (2 mL) was pipetted into the mouthpiece of each nebulizer in an upright postion simulating a patient drooling into the device. Aerosol was produced for 30-60 seconds and collected on Triptic Soy Agar (TSA) plate, prior, immeadiately, and 4-5 hours post instillation. Colony counts were done post incubation (3-5 days). Results: P. aeruginosa colony counts prior, immediately, and four hours after instillation; BAN (0, 110, and 122 CFU/m); and BEN (0, Too Numerous To Count (TNC), and TNC), VMN: (0, 0, and 0 CFU/mL) and CJN (0, 0, and 0 CFU/mL), respectively. Conclusions: Nebulizer type and design influence impact of pathogen containing fluids passing through the mouthpiece contaminating the aerosol generated.

Sloterdijk Contra Agamben: reforma democrática contra a anarquia insurgente
Authors: Rodrigues Bráulio , Martins Ricardo Evandro
Published: July 2022

O trabalho se propõe a analisar a herança de Michel Foucault na viragem daobra de Peter Sloterdijk. O problema parte do sentido de poder disciplinar como exercícios (antropotécnica) proposto por Sloterdijk e como esse sentido pode ser entendido a partir de um diagnóstico de época atento à crise do neoliberalismo no contemporâneo. A saber, ao contrário de outros filósofos legatários do pensamento de Foucault como Giorgio Agamben, Sloterdijk parece se contrapor à questão da revolução. Em seu lugar, Sloterdijk defende a reforma do palácio de cristal por meio do fisco subjetivo e da doação voluntária. A tese do trabalho consiste em compreender que o objetivo de Sloterdijk está em formular a antropotécnica como tecnologia com capacidade para incluir diferentes e novas formas de vida. Por fim, apresenta-se como Sloterdijk inova em nome do credenciamento de um sistema colaborativo e contribui para um projeto de Estado fundamentado na social-democracia liberal.
“Permanecei Fiéis A Terra”: a conversão filosófica em tempos de apocalipse
Authors: Ferraro Gianfranco
Published: July 2022

A experiência da conversão é habitualmente ligada ao contexto religioso.Contudo, autores como Pierre Hadot e Michel Foucault destacaram a presença de uma conversão filosófica, ao longo dos séculos. Se é possível verificar como nas tradições apocalípticas de caráter religioso se instaura uma conversão que visa alcançar uma manutenção do mundo em épocas de crise, também no contexto filosófico a diagnose nietzscheana do niilismo foi seguida por experiências filosóficas, como as de Simone Weil e de Georges Bataille, que visam a definição de uma vida filosófica capaz de enfrentar o apocalipse. Através da abordagem do antropólogo Ernesto De Martino, tentarei mostrar, por um lado, o caráter apocalíptico-cultural do niilismo, e, por outro, como uma conversão filosófica, enquanto experiência interior, pode encarar este hóspede do nosso tempo.

Published: July 2022

As a result of a larger investigation, this study is articulated from the theoretical-methodological contributions of Cultural Studies, Gender Studies in a post-structuralist approach, and Foucaultian Studies. The objective is to analyze and discuss the statements of young people aged 13 to 16, 8th-grade students at a public school, located in an urban outskirt region, about the situations of harassment and harassment that they experience. As a methodological strategy, we used discussion groups with twenty-five students, students from two classes, who narrated situations of control of their bodies inside and outside the school environment. We use the concept of the device of femininity to think about how institutions, like the school and even historical discourses, blame women for the violence they suffer. Therefore, they end up operating in the conduct of these students' behavior, regulating their ways of being and living.Keywords: Cultural Studies. Gender Studies. Sexuality. Youths. Dispositif

El diseño, la arquitectura, el urbanismo y el arte son fundamentales en toda actividad humana. Representan el nexo de valores, actitudes, necesidades y acciones de modificación. Como modificadores del mundo, somos parte activa de la mayoría de las crisis sociales y ambientales definidas por el Antropoceno, ya que nuestras prácticas son parte de un modelo reduccionista y han sido pensadas para un contexto que ya no existe (Di Bella, 2021: 53-79), y cuyas ideas se basan en gran medida en la separación entre Cultura y Naturaleza (Wahl y Baxter, 2008: 72-83). La creación de “nuevos estilos de vida sostenibles” podría ser la clave que les permita actuar como integradores-facilitadores transdisciplinarios y agentes de cambio socio-ecológico hacia mejores escenarios futuros. El Diseño puede actuar como un factor de modificación del mundo, interpretando las complejidades de la experiencia humana y por lo tanto puede operar influyendo y orientando los comportamientos sociales, de forma sostenible, resiliente y regenerativa.
Sukakollos y bioflujos regenerativos en el territorio andino
Authors: Calle Quispe Vania Susana
Published: July 2022

Dadas las condiciones actuales de aumento de entropía por efectos del calentamiento global, y las perturbaciones simbióticas, el presente artículo aborda la tecnología de ciencia andina del Sukakullo (Surco o Cultivo, Kollu montón), como un dispositivo de regeneración en los andes, considerando como principal bien el agua en todos sus estados, cuyo sistema permitía a través de un proceso autoorganizado y autosuficiente la regeneración del ecosistema ligado a su contexto inmediato, producción de alimentos, la concentración de biodiversidad, generación de redes mutualistas, impulso a las actividades bióticas, control de las gradientes de temperatura, control del microclima, aumento de la humedad, entre algunas de sus propiedades. De esta manera las comunidades del altiplano boliviano sufren escasez de agua, esta situación se agrava cuando los habitantes tienen solamente horas para almacenar agua de un pozo comunitario, así “la escasez de agua afecta aproximadamente al 40% de la población mundial y, según predicciones de Naciones Unidas y del Banco Mundial, la sequía podría poner a 700 millones de personas en riesgo de desplazarse para 2030” (Milne, 2021). En este contexto el agua, desde la lógica andina se constituye como un sujeto, que aporta vida y es parte del proceso productivo y reproductivo de los sistemas vivos, por tanto, el planteamiento de tecnologías y valores simbólicos que regeneren el territorio, son una alternativa para contrarrestar los efectos del sistema multi-conectado.
El significado del color en la Nación Andina. Nación y Estado en Gráfica: Cromática andina
Authors: Gómez Santiago Daniel , Isín Vilema Manuel David , Romero Baldivieso Ximena Marcela
Published: July 2022

La tesis doctoral de Mónica Polanco, se concentra en la construcción de la identidad ecuatoriana, a partir de características encontradas en el diseño de estampillas dentro de periodos constitucionales establecidos. El presente trabajo, se apropia de la metodología cualitativa de la autora, para abordar rasgos de identidad en Perú, Bolivia y Ecuador, en relación con el uso del color como símbolo de lo andino y como rasgo compartido entre estas naciones; en casos particulares como la arquitectura de Freddy Mamani en Bolivia, el muralismo de Elliot Tupac en Perú, o el arte pictórico de Xavier Portilla en Ecuador. Desde el análisis del discurso, a través de la descripción sistemática e interpretativa del paradigma cualitativo, estos corpus se describen como manifestaciones representativas de la identidad desde la visión de nación andina, puesto que responden a contextos contemporáneos de reafirmación nacional, en diálogo con raíces prehispánicas y con el arte pop.
Animación com vocación inclusiva
Authors: Bolshaw Gomes Maria Claudia , Gonçalves  Gamba Jr Nilton
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo es el resultado de una investigación que tardó muchos años para llevarse a cabo y aún no hay un resultado definitivo, pero que creo que puede contribuir a la discusióy a la ampliación del lenguaje de la animación. Encontramos muchas premisas y solamente algunas respuestas. Acreditamos que la animación tiene en sí un lenguaje propio y espacio para la inclusión y colaboración de personas distintas, pero no sabemos exactamente cómo ha empezado, ni tampoco si permanecerá así con el avance de la tecnología. Procuramos, mediante el Núcleo de artes digitales y animación de la PUC Rio (N.A.D.A.), analizar las producciones que fueran elaboradas a lo largo de su trayectoria de enseño de más de 20 años y que podemos contar con varios trabajos que representan la diversidad por medio de la técnica y también de la narrativa.
Iniciativas contra las fake news en Argentina: un estado del área
Authors: Flax Rocío
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo surge del interrogante acerca de las estrategias que se pueden llevar a cabo para lidiar con las fake news y su posible efectividad. Partimos del hecho de que documentar o medir el impacto de las fake news en la política, la economía o la salud de una sociedad es tan complejo como mesurar la eficacia de las medidas desarrolladas para combatirlas. No obstante, consideramos que un primer paso radica en conocer el estado de la situación. Por ello, en esta investigación exploratoria, describimos un conjunto de dimensiones a tener en cuenta sobre la circulación de fake news al tiempo que documentamos un conjunto de iniciativas desarrolladas en América Latina y, en particular, en Argentina para mitigar su impacto social.
Desinformación y migración venezolana. El caso Ecuador
Authors: Sánchez Moscoso Agustín Alexander , Candela Sabrina , Torres-Toukoumidis Angel
Published: July 2022

Según el Banco Mundial (2020) en 2019 migraron más de 4 millones de venezolanos a otros países de Latinoamérica. Este éxodo ha desembocado en un reforzamiento mediático de exclusión recargado con síntomas de xenofobia y aporofobia (Perilla, 2020). En tanto, reconociendo la proclividad de los medios, mismos que se encuentran a su vez sumergidos en la era de la desinformación, han polarizado el discurso sensacionalista hacia los fenómenos sociales como la migración afectando así el comportamiento de la población hacia los venezolanos (Corzo, 2020; Magallon-Rosa, 2021).

Holocausto y Cine. Music Box: las fotografías de lo inefable
Authors: Stella María Elena
Published: July 2022

A finales de la década del 80 la memoria del Holocausto transita la etapa de anamnesis, según la periodización formulada por Henry Rousso (2015) y se caracteriza por la activación del recuerdo del pasado traumático, la reanudación de los juicios a los criminales y cobran una importancia inusitada los testimonios de los sobrevivientes, documentos, pruebas materiales, imágenes fotográficas y en movimiento. El pasado retorna ubicándose en un lugar central de la cultura y la política de Occidente. Las víctimas y sus reclamos, desoídos y olvidados durante largo tiempo, encuentran ahora quienes están dispuestos a escucharlos. Recobran la capacidad de narrar y denunciar a los victimarios. En ese contexto de resurgimiento de la memoria y la demanda de justicia aparece la película Music Box (1989), del realizador franco griego, Costa Gavras, filme que logra plasmar en la pantalla los múltiples rasgos de ese particular momento de la memoria de la Shoá y la gestación de un nuevo régimen de historicidad que comienza a configurarse.
Un viaje al corazón del infierno: El fotógrafo de Mauthausen
Authors: Gruber Mónica
Published: July 2022

En 2018 la directora Mar Targarona llevó a la pantalla la historia de Boix en El fotógrafo de Mauthausen, protagonizada por Mario Casas. El film nos propone un descenso al corazón del infierno para vislumbrar la ignominia, la crueldad del ser humano, pero también, su valentía. Varias preguntas guiarán nuestro trabajo: ¿cómo denunciar los horrores vividos? ¿Qué esperamos como espectadores de un film de ficción? ¿Qué rol cumplen las imágenes fotográficas como documentos del pasado? Simón Wiesenthal, quien fuese prisionero de Mauthausen-Gusen, recordaba el testimonio de un soldado nazi: “De cualquier manera que termine esta guerra, la guerra contra vosotros la hemos ganado; ninguno de vosotros quedará para contarlo, pero aun si alguno lograra escapar el mundo no lo creería. (…) Aunque alguna prueba llegase a subsistir y aunque alguno de vosotros llegara a sobrevivir, la gente dirá que los hechos que contáis son demasiado monstruosos para ser creídos. (…)” (Primo Levi, 475). Finalizada la Guerra, Boix se convertiría en testigo de los Juicios de Nuremberg, aportando pruebas fehacientes de lo acaecido. Afortunadamente, los hombres creyeron en esas imágenes y testimonios, una vez más, los nazis se equivocaron…
