Sobriété énergétique et efficacité opérationnelle, enjeux d'un équilibre incontournable
Authors: Blanc Jean-Baptiste , Bailly Julien
Published: October 2023

Les évolutions géostratégiques et la finitude des ressources fossiles constituent des défis majeurs pour les armées, toujours plus dépendantes à l'égard des énergies. Pour garantir l'efficacité opérationnelle des forces combattantes, la sobriété énergétique choisie, respectant la primauté des enjeux opérationnels, représente une stratégie ambitieuse, complémentaire aux progrès technologiques d'amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique. Capitalisant sur les gains générés, la force pourrait notamment gagner en endurance et donc, en liberté d'action. Bien qu'en apparence peu intuitive pour les armées, la sobriété énergétique demeure pleinement à portée en acceptant de placer l'énergie au cœur du potentiel de combat et en repensant la manière dont elle est consommée par et pour les opérations.
Péronisme et fondements des relations internationales : tercérisme, ouverture à l'Ouest et alignement bolivarien
Authors: Cucchetti Humberto
Published: October 2023

Le présent article propose une analyse de long terme des grands fondements politiques du péronisme en matière de relations internationales. Le positionnement « tercériste » (doctrine fondatrice péroniste), le processus d'acceptation de l'axe occidental (années 1980 et 1990) et l'alignement continental bolivarien (depuis 2003) représentent trois modèles illustrant les rapports entre l'Argentine et le monde. Au cours des dernières décennies, le positionnement bolivarien soutenu par les élites kirchnéristes conçoit les conflits globaux en termes conspirationnistes et antioccidentaux hérités des anciennes références bipolaires. Depuis 2019, la politique étrangère péroniste est en outre traversée par des fractures idéologiques liées aux divergences à l'intérieur de la coalition au pouvoir.
Early-Life Epilepsies
Authors: Akiyama Lisa F. , Saneto Russell P.
Published: October 2023

Epilepsies are a diverse group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. One-third of epilepsies are refractory to standard antiseizure medications. Epilepsy incidence is age-dependent with high incidence in neonates and infants. Epilepsy syndromes are classified based on clinical, electrographic, neuroimaging, age-dependent features of onset and the possibility of remission. Advances in genetic testing technology and improved access to clinical genetic testing, including whole exome sequencing, have facilitated a fundamental shift in gene discovery of monogenetic and polygenetic epilepsy, leading to precision medicine therapy and improved outcomes. Here, we review the self-limited epilepsy syndromes and developmental and epileptic encephalopathies that begin in the neonatal-infantile period with an emphasis on genetic etiology and the shifting landscape of treatment options based on genetic findings.

Study on the symmetries and conserved quantities of flexible mechanical multibody dynamics
Authors: Zheng Mingliang
Published: October 2023

In this paper, in order to provides a powerful new tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of dynamics properties in flexible mechanical multibody systems, the symmetry theory and numerical algorithms for preserving structure in modern analytical mechanics is introduced into flexible multibody dynamics. First, taking the hub-beam systems as an example, the original nonlinear partial differential-integral equations of the system dynamics model are discretized into the finite-dimensional Lagrange equations by using the assumed modal method. Second, the group analysis theory is introduced and the criterion equations and the corresponding conserved quantities of Noether symmetries are given according to the invariance principle, which provide an effective way for analytic integral theory of dynamic equations. Finally, a conserved quantity-preserving numerical algorithm is constructed by coordinates incremental discrete gradient, which makes full use of the invariance of conserved quantity to eliminate the error consumption for a long time. The simulation results show that the deeper mechanical laws and motion characteristics of flexible mechanical multibody systems dynamics can be obtained with the help of symmetries and conserved quantities, which can provide reference for more precise dynamic optimization design and advanced control of systems.

The impact of regulatory mechanisms on vulnerability disclosure behavior during crowdsourcing cybersecurity testing
Authors: Zhao Liurong , Yu Xiaoxi , Zhou Xinyu
Published: October 2023

There are various regulatory mechanisms to coordinate vulnerability disclosure behaviors during crowdsourcing cybersecurity testing. However, in the case of unclear regulatory effectiveness, enterprises cannot obtain sufficient vulnerability information, third-party crowdsourcing cybersecurity testing platforms fail to provide trusted services, and the government lacks strong credibility. We have constructed a tripartite evolutionary game model to analyze the evolutionary process of the equilibrium of {legal disclosure, active operation, strict regulation}, and the paper reveals the impact of three regulatory mechanisms. We find that these participants' positive behaviors are in a stable state. Higher initial willingness accelerates the speed of reaching the evolutionary stability of the system, and this equilibrium is satisfied only if the governmental regulatory benefits are sufficiently high. Regarding the punishment mechanism, increased punishment for enterprises causes them to adopt positive behaviors faster, while the opposite occurs for platforms; increased punishment for platforms drives both participants to adopt positive behaviors faster. Concerning the subsidy mechanism, increased subsidy to enterprises causes them to adopt legal disclosure behaviors faster, while platforms remain unresponsive; increased subsidy to platforms motivates both players to choose their own positive behaviors. In terms of the collaborative disclosure mechanism, excessive collaborative costs reduce the platforms' willingness to operate actively, which decreases the enterprises' incentives to disclose vulnerability legally. These findings guide the government to establish suitable mechanisms to regulate the participants' behavior and promote the healthy development of the cybersecurity crowdsourcing industry.
The Role and Activities of Custodians of Aristocratic Collections in Bohemia in the 19th Century and First Half of the 20th Century: Selected Examples
Authors: Radostová Šárka , Uhlíková Kristina
Published: October 2023

In a number of European countries, entrusting the care of the extensive sets of collections owned by aristocrats to a special employee or employees had been customary since the Renaissance. The focus of this study is the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the Second World War. Selected individuals who together represent approximately one hundred and fifty years of care for collections located in aristocratic residences are presented. The academy-trained painter František Horčička, the former town executioner Carl Huss and the husband-and-wife team Wilhelmina and Karl Vincenz Auersperg devoted themselves to collections in the 19th century, while professor Josef Schmoranz and lawyer Josef Polák did so in the first half of the 20th century.
The New Life of Baroque Castles in North-Western Croatia: The Renovation of the Erdödy and Vranyczány Families’ Castles at the End of the 19th and Beginning of the 20th Centuries
Authors: Botica Dubravka
Published: October 2023

The article examines the furnishing of country residences, the collecting practises and art patronage of members of two families of the old and new nobility, the Erdödy and the Vranyczány-Dobrinović, who played an important role in Croatian society and politics. The Erdödy furnished their castles in Jastrebarsko, Novi Marof and Bajnski dvori with Historicist furniture and decorated them with their collections, which consisted mainly of works of art by Old Masters. The Vranyczány followed the trend of Historicist interior decoration and expressed their personal taste more strongly, which was reflected in their estates of Mirkovec and Gornje Oroslavje, which became the centre of social gatherings of the modern Croatian art scene.
Ampliando las fronteras del constitucionalismo deliberative
Authors: Giuffré C Ignacio
Published: October 2023

El constitucionalismo deliberativo es una teoría que en las últimas décadas ha adquirido un lugar en el centro de la discusión académica. Su novedad e interés radica en que ofrece una salida a las objeciones al control judicial mediante el compromiso con las premisas de la democracia deliberativa. Ahora bien, en este contexto hay una cuestión que requiere ser aclarada: ¿quiénes pueden participar legítimamente en ese diálogo constitucional para ofrecer una salida efectiva a las objeciones al control judicial? El argumento del presente artículo es que, si bien el constitucionalismo deliberativo es una alternativa promisoria que toma nota de las objeciones al control judicial, así como también del giro deliberativo de la democracia, no todas sus variantes toman realmente en serio ambos aspectos. Para matizar las objeciones al control judicial es necesaria una variante del constitucionalismo deliberativo que se oriente al servicio del diálogo inclusivo y que atienda a todo el sistema constitucional, en vez de solamente al diálogo intrajudicial, transjudicial e interinstitucional.
Overview of Plant Nematodes
Authors: Ghareeb Rehab Yassin , Yassin Yara , Abdelsalam Nader R.
Published: October 2023

Nematodes are multicellular organisms that may shed their cuticle. The Ecdysozoa category of organisms usually are tiny and subterranean. Nowadays, plant parasitic nematodes are known as the main agricultural pathogens and are recognized to attack plants and propose crop yield damage over the world. Some assessments suggest they cause over 70 billion dollars of losses worldwide each year. Nematodes are soil-borne (with exceptions like Aphelenchoides, a foliar nematode). Even though many saprophytic nematodes are embedded in soils, they vary from plant pathogenic nematodes in that the last have stylets. Soil nematodes, exceptionally the nematodes feeding on bacteria and fungi, can help to maintain sufficient levels of plant-available nitrogen in farming. Plant-parasitic nematodes are costly losses in crop yield production. Ubiquitous in nature, phyto-parasitic nematodes are specific to every important agricultural crop and reveal a significant restriction on global food security.

Improving Teacher Self-Efficacy and Student Achievement in Writing
Authors: VanSlander Jennifer
Published: October 2023

Teaching writing has historically been an ignored subject in elementary schools. Many undergraduate programs do not equip educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective writing teachers. Over the past three decades, little has changed regarding the quality, amount, and educator understanding of best practices in writing instruction. A convenience sample of five intermediate elementary teachers from a rural, southern school participated in the present study to examine how teacher efficacy was affected by writing process-oriented professional development and related to student writing achievement. In this action research study, findings contribute to the existing body of research which suggests teacher efficacy is positively impacted by targeted writing professional development. Findings suggest student achievement is related to teacher efficacy. The results of this study provide evidence for school leaders to focus time, attention, and resources to develop teachers' writing ability, and their capacity to provide quality writing instruction.

This area is becoming more and more important as a result of increasing dependence on computer systems, the internet, and wireless networks such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Because of its complexity, in terms of politics and technology, cyber security is also one of the main challenges in modern life.
Collective Cyber Defense
Authors: Nebieridze Mariam
Published: October 2023

In the 21st century, activities in cyberspace rose and developed significantly. New security dynamics aftermath of the Cold War have led to a shift in the world's power structures. Non-state actors (corporations, organizations, and individuals) now can reflect strategic global power due to modern information and communication technologies. Collective defense in cyberspace might be more challenging considering the nature of the virtual dimension which accomplishes two factors. They pledge the signatories to resist a shared threat, and as a result, are designed to dissuade possible aggressors. They stand at the nexus of law and strategy, as well as the junction of war and peace because of their dual objectives. But with hybrid threats on the rise, some have begun to wonder if the mutual aid provisions established in the North Atlantic and EU treaties still apply in the context of the current security situation.
The EU's Cyber Security Strategy
Authors: Bharti Mukesh Shankar
Published: October 2023

This chapter aims to discuss the EU's cyber security strategy and how its policy is capable of restricting cybercrime in Europe. The study explains the role of EU Member States in dealing with cybercrime in this region. This research draws on qualitative comparative analysis to examine various EU initiatives to tackle cybercrime issues in Europe. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the core literature of primary and secondary resources through an empirical approach. Since globalisation reached its highest level across the world, the question of cyber security has emerged as a key area of multiple cooperation between the global actors. Cybercrime is now a complex issue among the global actors to restrict its expansion. The EU also started cooperation with Asian, American, and African countries on cybercrime issues. Finally, this chapter suggests that cybercrime is the central area of cooperation between the global actors to restrict it which is dangerous for humanity.
The Method RAB2/E Matrix
Authors: Moraes Altino José Mentzingen de
Published: October 2023

This chapter presents a method, applicable to the program and project portfolio prioritization procedures, named RAB2/E matrix (rapidity, autonomy and benefit / extended), where the letter “E” means “extended,” since this new approach is derived from another original matrix (RADAR DE PROJETOS 2015) with new features. After performing these procedures related to portfolio prioritization, any project management methodology—such as PMBoK©, PRINCE2®, and ZOPP—can be applied to control the tasks which have to be done. The already mentioned new features were implemented in the prior matrix according to the aspects of internal and external influences perceived. In order to get better comprehension of how this new method was planned, and which were its foundations, this chapter also describes some techniques that can be used as tools for program and project portfolio prioritization. A statistic sample about the implementation of this method RAB2/E matrix are in its conclusions.

Authors: Khatri Shubha , Jain Rajeev , Goliya Shishupal Singh
Published: October 2023

This chapter describes the economic development of the country by using smart construction materials. With the increasing demand of high quality infrastructure, the lack of conventional material in cities becomes the main problem. Due to this limitation in conventional material such as natural sand which is excavated from the river and harmful for the environment due to the reduction in ground water level, can be partially/fully replaced by M-sand/crushed stone sand as an economic and ecological alternative for sustainable concrete structures. In India, the natural sand which is excavated from riverbed is used to produce conventional concrete. Depletion of natural sand causes environmental problems, and hence sand excavating is restricted by government which resulted in shortage and drastically increases in its cost. In this chapter to show the impact of M-sand on river sand a mix design tests of M-25 grade concrete including river sand and replacement M-Sand as a fine aggregate in distinct values in conventional concrete to save the environment.

Authors: Hernandez Korner Mario Enrique , Lambán María Pilar , Albajez José Antonio , Mazo Jorge Santolaria , Corrales Lisbeth del Carmen Ng , Royo Jesús
Published: October 2023

The environmental sustainability of the additive manufacturing (AM) process has been a trend in recent years. As well as the adoption of the AM process in traditional manufacturing environments to take advantage of the customization offered by this technology. Similar studies proposed the AM environmental sustainble analysis from a life cycle, circular economy and recycled material perspective. This study is centered in the environmental evaluation of the AM process adoption. The aim of this research is to characterize a model to predict the carbon footprint in an additively manufactured piece through the energy consumption in the printing process. Pieces with different shapes and positions were simulated using a printing simulator to test the model in a fused deposition modeling 3D printer and demonstrate the impact of different manufacturing strategies. The results show that the model proposed is capable of estimating the carbon footprint through the printing time and build volume of a given piece and predict the best printing position to diminish the CO2 emission in the process. Moreover, the model proposed allows managers and practitioners to analyze multiple fabrication scenarios for decision-making.

Published: October 2023

The normal and tangential adhesive strength between bricks and mortar in bed joints is the main parameter that determines the performance of masonry under biaxial stress conditions. This research aims to determine the possibility of increasing the tangential adhesive strength (shear) of masonry by using mortars reinforced with PET fibres obtained from recycled plastic bottles. Shear tests are proposed on simplified brick masonry specimens made with mortars containing PET fibres in percentages of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% of the mass of cement and sand. It has been determined that the addition of PET fibres in percentages no greater than 1% increases the tangential bond strength. The addition of 0.5% PET fibres increases the tangential adhesive strength by 37% and 1% PET by 60%, while the addition of 1.5% PET fibres decreases the studied strength by 22.86%.

Bats of Sicily: historical evidence, current knowledge, research biases and trends
Authors: Massaad Mark , Da Silveira Bueno Rafael , Bentaleb Ilham , La Mantia Tommaso
Published: October 2023

Insular bat communities are a preeminent conservation taxon due to their ecological role and intriguing and unique species composition. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean. However, research on Sicilian bats is still scattered, with substantial information being overlooked. Here we present a systematic review of all available bibliographic information from 1810 to 2022, including grey literature, archives, and peer-reviewed publications. The analyses of bibliographic sources permitted us to evaluate the status of research on bats using the Bat Research Efficiency (BRE) and Species-Research Effort Allocation (SREA) metrics. A total of 81 documents were obtained. Since 1955, an average of 1.2 contributions have been issued per year. Over half of the documents are in Italian. The studies are primarily conducted in north-western (40%) and south-eastern (28%) Sicily, mainly in the provinces of Palermo and Siracusa. Most of the contributions concern “Species records” (61%) and “Ecology” (21%). There were 28 species reported, but a significant bias exists towards Myotis myotis, Miniopterus schreibersii, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis capaccinii, and Rhinolophus euryale. Around 31.5% of the studies focused on threatened species, while 68.5% concentrated on non-threatened species, with an overall preference for cave-dwelling species. Yet, SREA analysis demonstrates a lack of research efforts for all species. We encourage the use of a multidisciplinary approach towards under-studied species while covering geographical gaps and increasing public awareness of the functional role of bats in natural ecosystems.
The Spectrum of Intracranial Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis at an Eastern Indian Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Das Suman , Ray Biman Kanti
Published: October 2023

Introduction:

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a treatable, rare inflammatory disease, either primary or secondary to systemic causes.

Aims:

To characterize the etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment outcomes of HP patients and determine the factors influencing the radiological resolution of the pachymeningeal enhancement and recurrence of symptoms within the follow-up period.

Materials and Methods:

We collected data for this prospective observational study between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022, at the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata, and the patients were followed for a 6-month period. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment-related data were collected. A univariate logistic regression model was used for comparison between patients with and without radiological resolution of pachymeningitis and between patients with and without symptom recurrence.

Results:

Among 44 patients, the male: female ratio was 1.2:1. The median age at disease onset was 35.5 (28.5–49.5) years. The etiologies were idiopathic (56.8%), tuberculosis (22.8%), immunoglobulin G subtype 4 (IgG4) disease (9.2%), other infections (6.8%), and neoplastic (4.4%). Headache was the most common presentation (95.4%), followed by cranial neuropathies (68.2%). Optic and oculomotor neuropathies were the most common. In terms of radiological features, 27.27, 29.54, and 43.18% of patients had diffuse, focal regular, and focal irregular enhancement, respectively. Temporal (50%), followed by cavernous sinus (38.63%) enhancement, was the most common. Recurrence occurred in 36 and 50% of idiopathic and IgG4-related HP cases, respectively. Mycophenolate mofetil was added to their steroid regimen with no further recurrences.

Conclusion:

The cohort had a marked absence of (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) ANCA-associated HP. The severity of clinical manifestations or distribution of pachymeningitis did not differ significantly among the etiological groups. The presence of idiopathic etiology and focal regular enhancement had a significantly higher chance of radiological resolution. The response to therapy was satisfactory. Recurrence was significantly related to shorter steroid courses (<median duration of 5.2 months).

Dupilumab as a Combination Therapy to Oral Systemic Immunomodulators for Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis for Skin of Color Children in Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Series
Authors: Nuraihan Siti , Azmi MN , Begum Sabeera , Leong Kin Fon
Published: October 2023

Subcutaneous dupilumab, with or without topical therapy, is clinically proven to treat children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). However, this well-researched biologic for AD in children is still among the most expensive medication in the world and not widely available in resource-poor areas. We share our experience managing four children with severe AD, aged 3 to 11, who poorly responded to oral systemic immunomodulators but successfully achieved rapid clinical remission when combined with subcutaneous dupilumab. No loading doses were administered to patients in this case series, and the maintenance dosages used were lower than the manufacturer’s recommendations. This case series illustrates that oral immunomodulators in combination with subcutaneous dupilumab therapy are efficacious, safe, tolerable, and cost-effective for children with moderate-to-severe AD. This treatment strategy can be considered an alternative for children with AD recalcitrant to other available treatment options, especially when AD management is challenging in limited resource settings.
Strategic implications of changes in UK merger remedy policy

2022 saw significant changes to policy on merger remedies in the UK. This article examines what they mean for merger clearance strategy along four vectors of change: (i) clarification of the Competition and Markets Authority’s remedial powers and procedural constraints following recent judgments of the Competition Appeal Tribunal; (ii) the CMA’s increased focus on intangible assets when designing remedies; (iii) a revolution in Phase 2 remedies procedure via the first use of a mechanism to concede a substantial lessening of competition to the CMA; and (iv) a substantive evolution in Phase 1 undertakings with the acceptance of creative remedies despite the high threshold for undertakings in lieu of reference to Phase 2 being accepted by the CMA.
Reflections on the intersection between economic and legal measures of pass-on in the context of competition litigation
Authors: Shah Kimela , Pini Erika , Bell Joseph , Gastal Raphael
Published: October 2023

The right to compensatory damages and the principle of effectiveness are important legal principles shaping the private enforcement of competition law across the UK and EU. However, the issue of pass-on of loss gives rise to potential tensions in the application of these principles. Where the effect of an infringement is passed on and dissipates broadly across the downstream economy, courts are left with a choice between over-compensating a direct claimant (who has passed on all or some of an overcharge) or waiting for a nebulous group of downstream claims (by final consumers) that may not materialize. Pass-on also creates problems of consistency between claims at different levels of the same value chain in which different information may be available, different methods of calculating loss may be applied, and different answers reached. This article provides some economic reflections on these challenges. It concludes that there is no single economic framework or methodology available that avoids these tensions, and procedural innovations that allow multiple levels of the value chain to be considered in a single process are likely to be needed if the principles of compensation and effectiveness are going to continue to be applied.
New Digital Strategies for Creating and Comparing the Content Structure of Biblical Manuscripts
Authors: Andrist Patrick , Englmeier Tobias , Dirkse Saskia
Published: October 2023

In an era when more and more manuscript scholarship is taking place on the internet, through digital manuscripts, databases and electronic publishing, there is a corresponding and growing need among scholars for flexible and creative ways to create clear and coherent online manuscript descriptions. This article presents a prototype of a tool, currently under development at the Ludwig-Maximilian Universität, Munich, which aims to streamline the description process from the perspective of facilitating comparisons between manuscripts from different cultural areas. Presently, the tool is being developed for use with biblical manuscripts and the article outlines the challenges that come with creating and comparing this kind of material, which is often similar in terms of content but very diverse as to its structure. It then offers solutions that allow users to describe and compare the manuscripts at differing levels of granularity. Lastly, the article sets forth a pattern of use that could be transposed onto areas of manuscript studies beyond biblical manuscripts and offers perspectives for the tool’s wider application.
Trayectoria criminal y tipología del homicida de pareja íntima de mujeres en Chile. Seguimiento longitudinal entre los años 2004 y 2021.

Published: October 2023

La violencia contra la mujer especialmente la letal sigue siendo uno de los problemas más graves de la sociedad. Por eso los objetivos de este trabajo buscan caracterizar este delito en Chile, conocer las dimensiones de las trayectorias criminales y las tipologías de los agresores. El diseño es longitudinal retrospectivo. Se identificaron todos los hombres denunciados y detenidos por homicidio consumado y frustrado de su pareja mujer por Carabineros de Chile, a nivel nacional, entre los años 2011 y 2021, además de todas sus reincidencias entre el año 2004 y 2021. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que el 85% cometió delitos antes del homicidio, de los cuales un 61,4% ejerció violencia contra la pareja no letal. Confirmando así que el homicidio se produce en el contexto de una trayectoria criminal de larga duración, con alta reincidencia y versatilidad. Se propone que las estrategias de protección se dirijan principalmente sobre mujeres vinculadas a hombres con antecedentes criminales.

RATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF INSECTICIDES IN MONOCULTURE AREAS
Authors: Lagunes-Tejeda Angel , Rodriguez-Maciel J. Concepción , Rodríguez-Lagunes Daniel Arturo , Villanueva-Jimenez Juan Antonio , Silva-Aguayo Gonzalo
Published: October 2023

In Mexico, some monocultures occupy large areas, and organo-synthetic insecticides are the dominant method of pest control. The conventional chemical strategy is heavily reliant on new insecticides being developed in other countries. This paper discusses the characteristics of traditional/conventional and rational insecticide management. In traditional management, companies compete to position their products in the market once authorized. When pests develop resistance, the farmer must increase the dose and frequency of applications. These actions seriously threaten the environment, human health, and crop profitability. The hope is that another insecticide will enter the market to repeat the cycle of abuse and its consequences. The alternative is a rational strategy based on scientific evidence for chemical pest control. Farmers must adhere to an insecticide resistance management program that keeps resistance gene expression and intensity at acceptable levels. We propose the creation of public and private laboratories to systematically estimate the dynamics of insecticide resistance through bioassays. This will enable decisions to be made based on scientific rather than commercial information. Changing the current paradigm for the use of these agrochemicals will result in significant improvements in the time it takes to maintain acceptable biological efficacy, economic benefits to the producer, and significant reductions in adverse effects on human health and the environment.
La llama de nuestros Maestros
Authors: Loriente Diego Martín
Published: October 2023

Tras la pandemia, el regreso a las actividades científicas presenciales de la SAD fue para mí, y creo que para muchos de nosotros, un bálsamo para el alma, que nos permitió liberarnos de las frías pantallas y redescubrir el calor del contacto humano con viejos colegas y amigos. Sin embargo, observé un hecho negativo que opacó mi optimismo: a diferencia de las reuniones previas a la pandemia, en los salones ocupados a medias predominaban las cabelleras canosas, e incluso calvas, y no los jóvenes dermatólogos en formación que tradicionalmente abarrotaban estos claustros. Aunque las ponencias mantuvieron su excelente nivel científico y docente, me quedó el gusto amargo de que quienes más se benefician de esta experiencia no estaban allí. Los mismos dermatólogos en formación que parecen evitar estas actividades, por el contrario, abundan en los eventos comerciales –de dudoso valor científico– organizados por los laboratorios para publicitar sus productos y que se reproducen hasta el hartazgo en las redes sociales.
