Religion in Begum Rokeya’s Literature: Resemblance with the Marxist Narrative
Authors: Shipra Mondal
Published: December 2023

Against the dark background of the social exclusion of women, especially Muslim women, Begum Rokeya, the pioneer of women’s emancipation in Bengal, British India in the early 20th century, stood with her enlightenment like a beacon and pushed her way for women’s emancipation from the depths of misery. She lived in a society shrouded by blind religious beliefs and practices where women were deprived of rights and freedom, and were repressed and oppressed in the name of religion. Despite her prevailing leanings toward religious beliefs and practices, she found that a powerful obstacle to women’s freedom stemmed from the misinterpretation of culturally biased religious norms, notions and intentions. She was a strong advocate for the emancipation of the society and especially women of her time. She eloquently expressed her opinion with regard to religious rituals, prevailing sentiments and general public psyche in practice that hindered the progress and emancipation of women as well as the society. Her opinions, propositions, criticisms, and activisms in this regard surprisingly resembled to a great extent that of the predominant Marxist views. In this article, her views and opinions on the dissemination and practice of religious teachings and rituals in the context of the marginalization of women as well as society have been examined and compared with that of the Marxist thoughts, especially those on religion through textual analysis and Marxist allusions.
The Power of Laughter: A Study of the Comedies of Badal Sircar
Authors: Sharuk Rahaman
Published: December 2023

Comedy, unlike tragedy, is often overlooked as a lower form of art and less important. But comedy plays crucial role in entertaining as well as making people aware of real-life issues. Badal Sircar (1925-2011) is a widely recognized playwright of post-independence Indian theatre. While there is much scholastic focus and discussion on his absurd dramas and Third Theatre plays, his comedies have been mostly overlooked and have rarely drawn critical attention. By filling this gap in existing literature, the present research establishes the significance and value of Sircar’s comedies. It analyses situational pure comedies as well as black comedies from both the proscenium and the non-proscenium phases, namely Solution X, Boro Pisima, Shanibar, Ram Shyam Jadu, Ballabhpurer Rupkatha, Kabikahini, Bichitranushthan, Jadi Ar Ekbar, Abu Hossain, Hattamalar Oparey, Bagalacharit-manas, and Khat Mat Kring. While giving relief to the daily routines of the audience, Sircar presents serious matters in non-serious ways that simultaneously compel them to think about the surrounding worlds and grave issues (capitalist exploitation, corrupt politicians and hypocritical nature of political parties, dowry deaths, nuclear holocaust, unemployment, middle class aspirations and frustration in life, Brahmans-Dalits conflict, social changes, etc.). The study asserts that comedy cannot be merely dismissed as a non-serious art having no social purpose, but it can prove itself to be a powerful tool in raising socio-political awareness.
Exploring Folklore and Fantasy: Eudora Welty’s Interpretation of The Robber Bridegroom
Authors: Dr. Mohit Mani Tripathi
Published: December 2023

Eudora Welty, a celebrated American novelist renowned for her deft literary touch, prominently positioned herself within literary tradition with her famous novella, The Robber Bridegroom, which was published in 1942. This work, uniquely situated within the cultural tapestry of Mississippi, integrates elements drawn from American mythology and historical figures of the American South, weaving them into the fascinating tale of the gentleman robber Jamie Lockhart. The present research paper embarks on an exploratory journey into the complex tapestry of The Robber Bridegroom, offering a multifaceted analysis that bridges the gap between folklore, fantasy, and reality. It investigates the peculiar confluence of wisdom, seriousness, mysterious wilderness, amusement, and disenchantment—ingredients often found in traditional fairy tales. This synthesis resonates with the timeless quality of myth and resonates with a contemporary audience. Central to this exploration is an analysis of Welty’s intricate character portrayals and her deft use of irony and humor. These literary devices, alongside her nuanced evocation of the setting, serve to underscore a profound reflection on the transient nature of human connections. Moreover, this paper delves into Welty’s portrayal of the Western civilization’s impact on the indigenous Natchez tribe, a theme that lends the story historical depth and sociocultural relevance. In examining the dualities that permeate the narrative, such as enlightenment and ignorance, civilization and wilderness, the study highlights Welty’s ability to transcend simple dichotomies, presenting a fairy tale-like narrative that also fosters critical inquiry into the development of writing skills and artistic expression. Furthermore, the paper provides insights into how Welty’s narrative functions as a metaphorical bridge, connecting historical realities with a broader human experience, thus reinvigorating classical motifs with modern sensibilities. The present research article reveals a rich and multifarious literary landscape that bears witness to Welty’s masterful command of her craft. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of her work, and by extension, the intricate web of cultural, historical, and personal relationships that define our collective human experience.
Las mujeres rurales y su papel en los incendios de la Galicia (España) del siglo XX
Authors: Cabana Iglesia Ana
Published: December 2023

Los incendios forestales han sido un tema central para diferentes disciplinas, lo que ha permitido su análisis desde múltiples perspectivas. La historia agraria ha sido una de ellas, sin embargo, es posible advertir una laguna incluso en las historiografías que han prestado mayor atención al estudio del fuego y sus usos, aquella que tiene que ver con la integración del rol desempeñado por las mujeres y el género.  Este artículo ofrece una aproximación a este asunto valiéndose de un estudio de caso centrado en Galicia (España), un espacio definido por una elevada incidencia de los incendios forestales y por una drástica transformación de la cultura del fuego desde mediados del siglo XX en el contexto de una mutación de los usos de los espacios comunales.
Fuego y ganadería en el valle de los ríos Sinú y San Jorge (Caribe colombiano), en el siglo XX
Authors: Sibaja Madera Francisco Javier
Published: December 2023

Este artículo estudia la relación entre fuego y ganadería en el valle de los ríos Sinú y San Jorge, una de las regiones pecuarias histórica y productivamente más importantes de Colombia durante el siglo XX. El texto describe y analiza las interacciones que establecieron los ganaderos con el fuego, sus usos y efectos en los pastos, animales, suelos, bosques, sabanas y producción de ganado. El trabajo se basa en la correspondencia de hacendados y ganaderos, relatos de viajeros y descripciones geográficas, como fuentes principales, las cuales permiten reconstruir los usos, épocas y repercusiones del fuego en las actividades pecuarias de esta región caribeña. En cuanto a su perspectiva teórica, el artículo articula planteamientos de la Historia y Ecología del Fuego, para demostrar que la práctica de las quemas de pastos en la formación y mantenimientos de potreros era parte de un régimen de fuego y una pirocultura ganadera.
“A Radiance Hurtful . . . to the Eyes”: Fossil-Fueled Modernity and Environmental Degradation in Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad”
Authors: Cole Megan
Published: December 2023

In addition to the obvious religious allegory that frames Hawthorne’s 1843 short story “The Celestial Railroad,” this article proposes that the story might be read more literally and ecocritcally, as evidence of Hawthorne’s growing skepticism toward the emergent transportation industry as well as toward the environmentally deleterious fossil fuels that would animate it for decades and centuries to come. Reading “The Celestial Railroad” through an energy humanist framework might reveal, as the author suggests, Hawthorne’s prescient intimations of the social and ecological degradation that would eventually result from the expansion of the fossil-fueled transportation industry. Placing the story in the context of Hawthorne’s nascent concerns with industrialism and environmental decay—reading “The Celestial Railroad” historically and materially, rather than merely symbolically—provides crucial insight into Hawthorne’s environmental imagination, particularly in relation to the increasingly visible ecological effects of industrial modernity upon the American landscape.
Moss and Monuments: Hawthorne’s Curation of Decay at the Old Manse
Authors: Mcwilliams Ryan
Published: December 2023

In the prefatory sketch “The Old Manse,” Nathaniel Hawthore’s narrator vigorously objects to the way his family is traumatically uprooted along with the Manse’s eponymous mosses. This article considers that moment—as well as Nathaniel and Sophia’s broader account of life at the Manse and the neighboring Concord Battlefield in their Common Journal of 1842–43—in order to revise our understanding of Hawthorne’s relationship to revolutionary history, politics, and monuments. By grappling with the pervasive, nearly paradoxical, problem of establishing traditions in a nation founded upon revolutionary rupture, Hawthorne moves toward begrudging endorsements of decay as both degenerative and regenerative agent. Far from undoing the work of memory, the disintegration brought about by natural actants (such as moss) produce modes of relationship that inoculate against presentist and teleological senses of national destiny. However, even as Hawthorne seeks to preserve certain forms of historical consciousness, he risks downplaying the labor of women and revolutionaries. Despite these limitations, this article concludes that Hawthorne’s counter-monumental aesthetic models a broader paradigm that is neither straightforwardly preservationist nor prone to abrupt historical erasure: in which natural agents of decay eat away at the nationalist narratives concretized by memorials and thereby reveal the constructed nature of historical memory.
Puzzling Bloom and Blight: Hawthorne’s Fanshawe as a Precursor to the Environmental Mystery
Authors: Williams Jericho
Published: December 2023

This essay discusses Hawthorne’s Fanshawe as a forerunner to the environmental mystery, a literary subgenre with a greater environmental emphasis that shapes the course of the story and possible interpretations. Environmental mysteries focus on how a particular place impacts characters as much as they account for how a crime is committed and a case is solved. Settings are a force, human-environment relationships are central, and metaphors allude to complex and sometimes uneasy conclusions. As these three characteristics are foundational components of Fanshawe, the novel serves as a precursor to present day environmental mysteries engaging with issues such as habitat loss, environmental degradation, and global warming. Fanshawe suggests a deep connection between Hawthorne and a distinct geographical place, a protagonist who must navigate the perils of a particular environment, and memorable supporting characters who reinforce the way environmental circumstances shape identity and relate to crime. It also includes prominent natural metaphors, as well as an ending that redirects readers back to its central human-environment concern, encouraging them to reflect upon human plights in the context of challenging environmental situations.

Authors: JEON So-Heon , CHOI Hyo-Seung , Yim Soon-Ho
Published: December 2023

In this study, the UV spectra maximum absorption wavelengths and molecular weights of major compounds 1–3 were identified in Perilla frutescens var. acuta extract using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-DAD and HPLC-MS/MS. Luteolin-7-O-diglucuronide (1), scutellarin (2), and rosmarinic acid (3) were identified, and simultaneous analysis validation was performed for quantification using HPLC-DAD. All linearities showed R2 values of 0.9993 or higher, and the limits of detection and quantification were measured in the ranges of 4.4802–5.4133 and 13.5764–16.4038 µg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values for accuracy ranged from 0.09 to 0.89%, and the recovery rates were in the range of 99.36–101.96%. The precision RSD values within the laboratory were in the range of 0.05–1.04%, and the RSD values for repeatability evaluation were below the guideline criteria of 2%. The content change of the three marker compounds within 24 h was 0.36–0.69%, confirming the chemical stability of the extract within 24 h, which was below the guideline criteria of 2.0% established by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guidelines. The content analysis of the extract according to ethanol concentration showed that luteolin-7-O-diglucuronide had the highest content of 302.22 µg/mL in the 0% ethanol extract, while scutellarin and rosmarinic acid showed the highest contents of 103.61 and 118.77 µg/mL, respectively, in the 60% ethanol extract.
Do Teams Alleviate or Exacerbate the Extrapolation Bias in the Stock Market?
Authors: Barahona Ricardo , Cassella Stefano , Jansen Kristy A. E.
Published: December 2023

We investigate how teams impact return extrapolation, a bias in belief formation which is pervasive at the individual level and crucial to behavioral asset-pricing models. Using a sample of US equity money managers and a within-subject design, we find that teams attenuate their own members’ extrapolation bias by 75%. This reduction is not due to learning or differences in compensation, workload, or investment objectives between solo-managed and team-managed funds. Rather, we provide supportive evidence that team members engaging in deeper cognitive reflection can explain the bias reduction.

Isolation, Morphological And Biochemical Identification Of Endophytic Fungi From Moringa oleifera And Its Antimicrobial Potential
Authors: Kumar Ashok , Awasthi Kumud Kant
Published: December 2023

The present study was aimed at isolating endophytic fungi from the leaves of M. oleifera  and analyzing its antimicrobial potential. In this study, the fungal endophyte Acremonium sp. was isolated identified through morphological and biochemical analysis. In IAA the strain produced 55.27 ± 3.00 μgml-1 IAA without exogenous tryptophan application (control) in the culture medium. The addition of 1mgml-1 tryptophan to the culture medium increased the IAA production to 76 ± 2.6 μgml-1 The production of siderophore was performed  in the absence and presence of an iron source in the medium. The strain was cultured in the minimal media  supplemented with different Fe(III) citrate concentrations, i.e., 0 μM, 0.25 μM, 2.0 μM, and 4.0 μM. The isolated fungi  showed high siderophore production when cultured in a medium without Fe(III) citrate. Siderophore production found to be  40.00 ± 0.4 (psu) in the culture medium without the addition of Fe(III) citrate.. Siderophore production was slightly reduced , i.e., 33 ± 0.3 (psu) at 0.25 μM Fe(III) citrate in the culture medium. However, a significant reduction in the production of the siderophore was observed when Fe (III) citrate content was raised to 2.0 μM and 4.0 μM. In case of bacterial strains it was observed that maximum activity was observed against P. aeruginosa  at 80 µg/ml (IZ-20mm) while minimum at 20 µg/ml against E. coli (10mm) but at 40 and 60 µg/ml activity was at par (IZ-14mm)  while S. aureus was found to be partially resistant. In case of antifungal it was observed  that when extract of PD 20 was tested maximum activity was observed at 80 µg/ml against T. reesei  (IZ-22mm) while C. albicans was found to be partially resistant as initially no activity was observed against it. Against P. funiculosum no activity was observed at 20  µg/ml but with increase dose level activity increased.Therefore, we conclude that the isolated Acremonium sp. should be further investigated before utilization as a biocontrol agent and plant growth stimulator

The Influence of Spirituality on Psychological Resilience and Recurrence in Hypertension Patients
Authors: Amir Faisal , Sulistyorini Lantin , Hasinuddin M
Published: December 2023

Hypertension is a chronic disease that is prone to recurrence and disrupts the balance of systemic hemodynamics to cause various serious multi-system complications. This study aimed to analyze the spiritual level in the regulation of resilience and relapse in hypertensive patients. We used a correlation analysis method with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 76 patients who were recorded as coming to the Puskesmas with a sample size of 62 respondents who were taken by simple random sampling. The independent variable was spirituality, as measured using the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES). The dependent variable was resilience as measured by the Nicholson–McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ) and hypertension recurrence. Statistical tests using Spearman’s rank with alpha (α) 0.05. The results of the statistical tests show a significant relationship between spirituality and resilience. The p-value obtained is 0.001 less than 0.05, with a level of closeness of 0.790 or solid. Spirituality is also significantly related to hypertension recurrence with a p-value of 0.011, smaller than alpha 0.05, and a level of closeness of -0.325, which means a moderate level of closeness. Deep spirituality will trigger the strengthening of resilience that regulates the balance of stress and homeostasis of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The physiological sympathetic and parasympathetic systems regulate vascular smooth muscle contractions to control blood pressure and reduce the rate of hypertensive recurrence.

Authors: Guillén-Romero Heidi Marizel , Flores-López William Oswaldo
Published: December 2023

Esta investigación ha indagado sobre las prácticas pedagógicas del profesorado en la enseñanza universitaria y su relación con la educación inclusiva. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa con un abordaje fenomenológico donde se establecieron grupos focales conformados por estudiantes y docentes de la Universidad de las Regiones Autónomas de la Costa Caribe Nicaragüense – Recinto Universitario Bluefields. Los principales resultados muestran las definiciones contextualizadas de las categorías de educación inclusiva y prácticas pedagógicas inclusivas que manifiestan los docentes en el ejercicio efectivo de la enseñanza universitaria, así mismo, se expresan las vivencias de los estudiantes en relación con su proceso de aprendizaje. Se concluye que una práctica pedagógica inclusiva es la trasmisión de experiencias personales en su vida familiar y social para la comprensión de las dificultades y problemas de los estudiantes que facilita la construcción de vivencias y alternativas de aprendizaje conjuntas mediante la reflexión sobre la vida cotidiana, el respeto y reconocimiento a los diferentes pueblos.
La interculturalidad desde la práctica pedagógica: hacia una mejor integración de las comunidades indígenas en el sistema educativo colombiano
Authors: Cárdenas Cipagauta Edna Isabel , Flores Portero Luis
Published: December 2023

En el marco de la crisis del positivismo, que se materializa durante el siglo XX con el fracaso de la modernidad y el arribo de la posmodernidad, han surgido diferentes “giros” (turns en inglés) como el filosófico-lingüístico emprendido por Ludwig Wittgenstein y Richard Rorty, con amplias ramificaciones que llegan incluso, en los últimos años, a la Bioética con su propio giro, el narrativo o fenomenológico-hermenéutico y la fuerte influencia teórica de Paul Ricoeur. En las últimas décadas se ha producido también el conocido como “giro decolonial”, consecuencia en gran medida del proyecto Modernidad/Colonialidad/ Decolonialidad, el cual ha supuesto un diálogo internacional e inter-universitario a nivel de la academia norteamericana y latinoamericana.

 

Dentro de este nuevo giro debemos situar los mayores avances teóricos en torno a la interculturalidad. En el presente ensayo nos proponemos elucidar, desde lo teórico y en el marco del giro decolonial, estos avances, los cuales, sin embargo, no se corresponden aún lo suficiente en la práctica pedagógica. Por ello, debemos proseguir nuestro camino, que pasa por revisitar los avances del giro decolonial, a fin de favorecer el objetivo final de la inclusión de minorías étnicas en términos de interculturalidad y desde su vertiente crítica. Para ello, nos apoyaremos en los planteamientos de Catherine Walsh. Nuestras conclusiones subrayan que las falencias del sistema educativo son, en última instancia, el reflejo del fracaso en términos de interculturalidad, pero también el espacio desde el que debemos seguir avanzando en pro de la descolonización cultural de Latinoamérica.
Development of a GSM based Vehicle Demobilizer and Tracking System
Authors: Jimada-Ojuolape Bilkisu , Spencer Oluwafunto , Balogun Monsurat Omolara
Published: December 2023

Vehicle hijacking remains a pervasive global issue, posing heightened risks, especially when owners face armed hijackers. Concurrently, the disposal of old mobile phones contributes significantly to the escalating electronic waste (e-waste) challenge, emphasizing the imperative of responsible recycling practices. Addressing these concerns, this paper introduces a GSM-based vehicle demobilizer and tracking system, utilizing a cost-effective mobile phone connected to the device through a SIM card and operating with an NE 555 timer IC in bistable mode. In the event of a hijacking, a call to the mobile phone triggers the device, halting the vehicle. In the prototype design presented in this paper, the result of the output is represented by an LED to show that the circuitry actually works. When the device was tested, the LED illuminated when a call was placed to the mobile phone connected to the device which signifies that the circuit works and can achieve its purpose. The resulting design also shows that the vehicle owner can prevent his car from being stolen away even after it has been hijacked without self-endangerment and within a short time frame.
Investigating the Pozzolanic Properties of Canarium schweinfurthii (‘Atili’) Seed Shell Ash as Partial Replacement for Cement in Concrete

Published: December 2023

Ethnomedicinal, insecticidal, biological and other non-engineering uses of Canarium seed have been identified but little or no engineering uses have been explored. This research investigates the effect of Canarium schweinfurthii Seed shell Ash (CSSA) on the mechanical properties of concrete. CSSA was obtained after calcination of Canarium schweinfurthii seed shell at 4000C, 7000C and 1000 0C. X-ray Florescence (XRF) analysis carried out revealed the best sample of CSSA to be used for this work, and found to be a Class C pozzolana, which contains 51.21% of (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Fe2O3). The compressive and flexural strengths were determined at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The workability of the concrete was found to have dropped with the increment in the percentage of CSSA in the concrete. The compressive strength and flexural strength of the concrete cubes declined with the increment in the percentage of CSSA in the concrete. The compressive strength of the CSSA concrete after each curing age for the control and all the different percentages of CSSA replacement all met the minimum requirement for the characteristic strength (20 N/mm2). From the result, the reduction in compressive strength of the concrete at 28 days is between 0% and 5%, with the optimal increment in the strength achieved at 10% CSSA. The flexural strength of the CSSA concrete reduces drastically with increment in the CSSA content across all the curing ages, having an optimal replacement at 5% CSSA replacement.

Lo spazio delle periferie e il tumulto dei Ciompi (Firenze, 1378). Un’ipotesi interpretativa
Authors: Poloni Alma
Published: December 2023

Negli ultimi decenni lo spatial turn che ha interessato varie discipline ci ha insegnato – o, per meglio dire, ha ribadito con forza – che la dimensione spaziale è fondamentale per comprendere molte dinamiche economiche, sociali, culturali e politiche. L’articolo parte da questo presupposto, tornando su un episodio molto (e molto ben) studiato, il tumulto dei Ciompi, e mettendo al centro dell’analisi gli spazi della rivolta e dei rivoltosi. Esso cerca di dimostrare, facendo ricorso anche alla letteratura antropologica e sociologica degli ultimi decenni, come restituire importanza a questa dimensione possa contribuire ad affontare alcune questioni molto rilevanti per la comprensione degli eventi dell’estate del 1378: la costruzione di un’identità sociale condivisa, la definizione di una solidarietà ‘di classe’, l’elaborazione di un discorso alternativo a quelli dell’élite, capace di sostenere una mobilitazione di tale portata e con obiettivi così ambiziosi.
Medieval Alpine communal politics under the spotlight. The ERC project DEMALPS
Authors: Gravela Marta
Published: December 2023

The article presents the ERC research project DEMALPS, which studies late medieval mountain areas as the cradle of radically new political experiences, inspired by original values and practices of self-governance. The focus of the project is on the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Western Alps, a broad territory (including modern French, Italian and Swiss regions) which saw unprecedented political unrest and experimentation with forms and institutions. Based on a rich corpus of sources, mostly scattered across local municipal archives, DEMALPS will offer an extraordinary insight into the Alpine inhabitants’ political ideals and connections, which will be explored through an interdisciplinary approach combining medieval history, digital humanities, diplomatics, and archival science. DEMALPS proposes to be a native digital project specifically designed for collaborative work, thanks to the development of an online application to collect, analyse and share data within the team and subsequently with the scholarly community.
Un inventario di libri e valori nell’archivio dell’imperatore. Note su un memorandum personale rinvenuto fra le carte di Enrico VII di Lussemburgo rimaste a Pisa.
Authors: Mineo Emilie
Published: December 2023

L’articolo prende in esame un documento, finora inedito, rinvenuto tra le carte dell’archivio viatorio dell’imperatore Enrico VII rimaste a Pisa dopo la morte del sovrano (Pisa, Archivio Storico diocesano, Capitolo del Duomo, diplomatico, 1383 quater). Sprovvisto di data e redatto alla prima persona, contiene una lista di libri e beni depositati a Toul, Basilea e Ivrea da un anonimo membro dell’entourage di Enrico VII, verosimilmente sulle tappe di un percorso diretto a raggiungere il re dei Romani in Italia. La ricostruzione dell’itinerario di viaggio e della biblioteca personale dell’autore (comprendente opere di argomento prevalentemente teologico fra cui spiccano numerosi scritti di Tomaso d’Aquino), permette di fare luce su una figura di rilievo del seguito imperiale, che si propone di identificare con Giovanni di Lucidomonte (Johannes Picardi di Lichtenberg)
Descrizione e controllo aristocratico dello spazio urbano a Napoli nel medioevo: i tocchi (X-XIV secolo)
Authors: Santangelo Monica
Published: December 2023

Concepito come tappa di una ricerca sui Seggi medievali nell’Italia meridionale, il saggio esplora le forme con cui è descritto e controllato lo spazio urbano di Napoli dal X al XIV secolo, con particolare riguardo a plateae e regiones, e alle microsocietà territoriali chiamate ‘tocchi’. L’intento è riaprire, anche grazie a fonti inedite, la questione dei tocchi, attestati dalla metà del XII a quella del XIV secolo, indagando una pratica di controllo dello spazio urbano, con cui gruppi di nobiliores o boni homines appartenenti a una regio o a un toccum concedono l’absolutio ad agire giuridicamente ad alcuni soggetti. Tale pratica individua nel radicamento e nel controllo dello spazio esercitato delle famiglie dei nobiliores un criterio di distinzione sociale in un contesto di forte inurbamento, ed è analizzata per la prima volta in termini complessivi, in rapporto al contesto sociale dell’atto e alla sua formalizzazione nelle chartae dei curiales.
Siete agitadores
Authors: Fernández-Cobián Esteban
Published: December 2023

Aunque a lo largo de su bimilenaria historia la Iglesia ca­tólica siempre utilizó las distintas artes para transmitir a los pueblos el mensaje de Jesucristo, el arte sacro del siglo XX no es demasiado conocido en la actualidad. Una de las razones de esta ausencia es el tránsito que se produjo desde la fascinación por el arte sacro de van­guardia que se dio en el mundo eclesial tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial al interés por la conservación del patrimonio histórico en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Este artículo repasa las trayectorias de siete promotores del arte sacro en España —Josep Torrás, Manuel Trens, Luis Almarcha, Joan Ferrando Roig, Alfonso Roig, José Manuel de Aguilar y Juan Plazaola— que durante las décadas centrales del siglo XX fomentaron las artes de­corativas y el arte dedicado al culto divino, convencidos de que los misterios de la fe cristiana han de ser traducidos de manera sensible a través del genio de los artistas.
Espacios efímeros como lugar de soporte experiencial cultural
Authors: Vélez Ochoa Claudia , Oquendo Valenzuela Julián
Published: December 2023

Este proyecto busca reconocer las impresiones que de­jaron en sus visitantes dos espacios efímeros como ex­tensión del espacio habitado, contextualizados en la celebración de la Navidad a una escala ciudadana: el espectáculo navideño Noel y el alumbrado navideño del municipio de Envigado, Colombia, identificando las emociones que los usuarios experimentaron en sus di­ferentes pabellones, la descripción de los factores espaciales que provocaron impacto en los visitantes de estos proyectos efímeros navideños, la relación de las diferentes sensaciones generadas por la experiencia es­pacial y sus efectos en la recordación de los eventos. La investigación se basó en la metodología fenomeno­lógica interpretativa para lograr un análisis cualitativo por medio de una revisión documental, de entrevistas estructuradas y semi estructuradas y del diseño de pruebas en el laboratorio de neuromarketing y a/b test­ing, con el fin de encontrar las sincronías entre voluntarios que visitaron los espacios y la opinión de expertos frente al reconocimiento de las impresiones que los espacios culturales efímeros logran en los visitantes y diseñadores. En conclusión, los espacios efímeros culturales están permeados y calificados por la experiencia y la capacidad de representar el momento cul­tural de su sociedad inmediata. El diseño de la experiencia es el encargado de generar una impresión en la memoria sensorial de los visitantes a través del asombro y de la nostalgia de lo efímero del suceso, para así lograr una extensión en el tiempo del espacio que ya no está.
urbanía compleja frente al paradigma modernista
Authors: Llamosa David Francisco
Published: December 2023

La ciudad es un ente naturalmente complejo. Pese a las tesis modernistas y los desarrollos de las ciudades de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando se afirmaron el funcionalismo y el determinismo espacial, la ciudad ha requerido en su constitución un vuelco hacia el significado, la historia y el ser psicológico del hombre. Tanto en su interpretación y en su práctica, y lejos del reduccionismo racionalista, la ciudad incorpora ele­mentos afectivos, perceptivos y conceptuales, y relaciona de forma conjugada en sus materias los tiempos largos de las cronologías con los tiempos cortos de los acontecimientos. Es la ciudad en complejidad el lugar de convergencia de lo único y lo diverso, de lo subjetivo y lo objetivo, de lo fugaz y de lo perenne.
acuaponía urbana: fomentando la agricultura sostenible en entornos urbanos
Authors: Guarnizo Sánchez Néstor Andrés , Contreras Gómez Alix Estela Yusara
Published: December 2023

La acuaponía urbana es una técnica innovadora que combina la acuicultura y la hidroponía en un sistema simbiótico y sostenible, con el objetivo de promover la producción de alimentos saludables en entornos ur­banos. Esta iniciativa ofrece una solución práctica y eficiente para abordar los desafíos de la seguridad alimentaria, la sostenibilidad ambiental en las ciudades y un reto importante a considerar a partir del crecimien­to de la población urbana.  Es así como como estudiamos el sistema acuapónico tradicional de tipo vertical, al cual se requiriere describirse y ser valorado desde el componente urbano para ser implementado espacios limitados, como patios, azoteas, balcones y jardines co­munitarios permitiendo así a la comunidad participar activamente en la producción de sus propios alimentos. El resultado es ilustrar la importancia y la serie de beneficios significativos como la reducción y la depen­dencia de la agricultura convencional. La acuaponía utiliza muchísimo menos agua en comparación con la agricultura tradicional, ya que el agua se recircula en el sistema. También elimina la necesidad de utilizar fer­ti­lizantes químicos, ya que los nutrientes provienen de los desechos metabólicos de los peces. La investigación y el desarrollo liderados por la Universidad San­to Tomás seccional Bucaramanga representan una contribución significativa a la búsqueda de soluciones prác­ticas y sos­tenibles para los desafíos locales y nacionales de in­seguridad alimentaria. La mejora en su prototipo tie­ne el potencial de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria, la gestión de residuos hacia su aprovechamiento como nuevos productos, y la disminución de la depen­dencia energética, beneficiando así tanto a las comunidades locales como al medio ambiente. Es un ejemplo inspirador de cómo la investigación académica puede traducirse en impactos positivos tangibles en la sociedad y el entorno.
Bebês plurais: Um relato de uma experiência francesa do trabalho com bebês
Authors: Batista Cleide Vitor Mussini , Parlato-Oliveira Erika
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo relatar o trabalho clínico, educacional e hospitalar com bebês: uma experiência francesa. Na última década, passamos a ter acesso a uma literatura acerca das chamadas "competências" dos bebês, que indagam as concepções mais clássicas de um bebê passivo e “nada” provocador. Essas descobertas apresentam um bebê que nos faz interrogar os diferentes olhares em torno deste sujeito. Quem é o bebê falado pelos estudiosos? Como é pensado e falado este bebê por aqueles que se ocupam dele nos ambientes: clínico, hospitalar e educacional? Quem é este bebê que nos fala? Frente a essas indagações, elencamos a questão-problema: O que o bebê tem a nos ensinar? Como metodologia, utilizamos a pesquisa bibliográfica e o relato de uma experiência francesa do trabalho com bebês. Participaram desta experiência doze profissionais e suas equipes, cada qual expondo e tecendo considerações acerca do trabalho desenvolvido com os bebês e seus cuidadores e, ainda, cinco instituições de atendimento e acompanhamento e seus cuidadores. No primeiro momento, abordamos os saberes acerca do bebê do século XXI. A seguir, trazemos alguns recortes elaborados a partir dos diálogos realizados com os profissionais e os pesquisadores que se debruçam em torno das questões clínicas, educacionais e hospitalares sobre o bebê. Então, descrevemos o trabalho realizado por estes profissionais que atuam com bebês.
Infância, cinema e adoção: uma análise do filme Matilda
Authors: Batista Cleide Vitor Mussini , Moreno Gilmara Lupion
Published: December 2023

Este artigo versa sobre a parentalidade adotiva apresentada nos filmes infantis, bem como o que podemos considerar sobre adoção a partir dessas obras fílmicas. Tem por objetivo refletir acerca da transição da criança da família biológica à família por adoção no filme Matilda. Além disso, busca apresentar a relação entre as crianças, os filmes infantis e a parentalidade adotiva, bem como analisar e discutir um caso de adoção por mãe solo no filme Matilda e se as experiências traumáticas vividas anteriormente, na família biológica, influenciam no padrão de comportamento da criança. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com base nos estudos realizados no Projeto de ensino “Crianças conectadas: um estudo sobre as tecnologias na infância”, e nas teorias da Psicologia, da Psicanálise e da Adoção. Os resultados mostram a importância do conhecimento sobre adoção, para que os adultos possam fazer as mediações necessárias durante e após a exibição dos filmes, a fim de auxiliar as crianças a compreenderem o real significado da adoção. Destacamos também a contribuição da Psicologia e da Psicanálise na melhor transição da criança, da família biológica à família por adoção
Polycentric self-governance and Indigenous knowledge
Authors: Turnbull Dr Shann , Stoianoff Prof Natalie P. , Poelina Prof Anne
Published: December 2023

This article's main aim is to discuss research exploring how the self-governing practices found in Indigenous societies, biota and modern organisations can be embedded into the constitutions of legal entities to protect and share the wellbeing of humanity, biota and the planet. In this paper, we explore how Australian Indigenous knowledge and practices can be embedded into organisational entities and discuss how this can be achieved by reformatting Ostrom's design principles to be incorporated into corporate constitutions following an ecological form of governance practised by Indigenous Australians. This form of polycentric self-governance can aggregate the voices of minorities representing local environments up to a global level. We use case studies, system science and biomimicry to explore polycentric self-governance and how organisations can adopt it to focus on the wellbeing of all stakeholders. In particular, the paper highlights how Indigenous knowledge can contribute globally to achieving societal sustainability.
