Exploring Digital Literature Literacy and Reading Through a Gender Lens
Authors: Leproni Raffaella
Published: January 2025

Digital Literature (DL) has emerged as a significant artistic expression, challenging traditional storytelling and engaging audiences in new ways. This paper explores Digital Literature, DL Literacy (DLL), and their intersection with gender perspectives. Attempting to provide a definition for DL, drawing from sources like the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) and scholars’ insights, various forms of e-literature are examined, emphasizing technological skills, critical thinking, and interpretive abilities. Strategies for developing DLL, including engaging with diverse texts and online collaboration, are also discussed. Central to the paper is how gender influences digital literary creation, distribution, and reception, highlighting implications for societal norms and stereotypes, and advocating for inclusive approaches and ethical storytelling practices to spark digital literary engagement.
«Proletariado del mundo, uníos»: vida y traducciones de Flora Tristán
Authors: Godayol Pilar
Published: January 2025

En 2024 se cumplen 180 años de la muerte de la filósofa feminista y socialista utópica Flora Tristán (París, 1803-Burdeos, 1844). Tristán es un ejemplo paradigmático del ostracismo que muchas autoras han sufrido a lo largo de los siglos. Desde una aproximación historiográfica feminista de la traducción, este artículo se propone reivindicar la figura de Flora Tristán y su obra, embrión del futuro feminismo marxista. Asimismo, se estudian sus traducciones al castellano y catalán. Se hace hincapié en la llegada de Unión obrera (1977), la cual pasó por los trámites de la censura franquista.

Además, se observaron mejoras notables en parámetros metabólicos, incluyendo la presión arterial, la composición corporal, los niveles de energía y los síntomas de menopausia. Este caso ilustra la efectividad potencial del método NaturalSlim como una intervención integral para el manejo de la obesidad y la mejora de la salud metabólica.
Movilidad internacional en las IES: Lecciones desde un enfoque de historia de vida
Authors: Castañeda Díaz Maria del Socorro , Ballesteros Sentíes Yolanda Eugenia
Published: January 2025

Este estudio explora la movilidad estudiantil internacional en Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) a través del análisis cualitativo de una historia de vida. Utilizando el caso de una estudiante mexicana que participó en un programa de intercambio en Argentina, el trabajo identifica áreas clave de oportunidad en la preparación académica, emocional e intercultural de los estudiantes. Los hallazgos revelan que la falta de información previa sobre el país anfitrión, así como una formación insuficiente en competencias interculturales, impactaron significativamente la experiencia de la estudiante, generando desafíos emocionales y cognitivos. A pesar de estos retos, la movilidad internacional fue percibida como una experiencia transformadora que amplió la perspectiva profesional y personal de la participante. Este trabajo destaca la necesidad de fortalecer las estrategias de las IES en la preparación previa de los estudiantes, incluyendo el dominio de idiomas extranjeros, el desarrollo de inteligencia cultural y el acompañamiento emocional. Además, propone integrar enfoques críticos de interculturalidad en los programas de movilidad para fomentar una educación inclusiva y equitativa. Este estudio enfatiza que, con una gestión adecuada, la movilidad estudiantil internacional puede convertirse en una herramienta poderosa para la formación de ciudadanos globales y profesionales altamente competitivos.

Aportes del análisis de A. B. Frank para la enseñanza de las micorrizas
Authors: Villa Henao Maria Daniela , Cabrera Castillo Henry Giovany
Published: January 2025

This paper presents an analysis of historical scientific texts TCH (from Spanish Textos Científicos Históricos) by Albert B. Frank on mycorrhiza. The analysis allowed the identification of three major ideas from the study of mycorrhiza while allowing the identification of conceptual aspects and explanatory resources. For the research, a qualitative methodology of a descriptive-interpretive type was used, consisting of four stages, which were: select, constitute, analyze, and propose. It is concluded that the realization of historical studies facilitates the identification and recovery of ideas, concepts, and explanatory resources immersed in the TCH, which tend to go unnoticed in current curricula and that can acquire great value in the teaching and learning processes of the sciences of mycorrhiza.

Published: January 2025

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo establecer la percepción y uso del personal docente de la Universidad de Oriente en Valladolid, Yucatán, México con respecto a la inteligencia Artificial y su uso en la educación; para ello se abordó desde una perspectiva cuantitativa con alcance descriptivo, utilizando un cuestionario con opciones de respuesta cerrada y una pregunta abierta, el cual resultó de la previa revisión de la literatura sobre el tema, Que cada vez tiene más relevancia no sólo en la educación, sino en otros ámbitos en la vida de los seres humanos. Se encontró que sí conocen sobre herramientas de inteligencia artificial y que incluso pueden percatarse de cuando sus propios estudiantes la usan, incluso reconocieron haberla aplicado, sin embargo, el conocimiento que poseen es limitado y que desean tener capacitación, no sólo sobre su uso, sino sobre las implicaciones ética que la incorporación de la IA a sus actividades, y la de sus estudiantes, conlleva; es importante señalar que los participantes de la muestra tienen entre 30 y 50 años, lo que influye en el dominio que se tiene de la IA.
La memoria de la antigüedad en cronistas, libros y bibliotecas en una red de circulación de saberes entre Europa y América (siglos XVI-XVII)
Authors: Valenzuela Matus Carolina
Published: January 2025

El artículo* tiene como objetivo analizar las formas de recepción de la cultura clásica en el Nuevo Mundo a través de los libros y las primeras bibliotecas americanas, en el contexto de una red de circulación de conocimientos entre Europa y América durante los siglos XVI y XVII. Estas formas de memoria y recepción de lo clásico se manifiestan en la producción escrita de los evangelizadores y cronistas, quienes estaban formados en un espíritu renacentista, en el que se evidencian diversas formas de apropiación de la antigüedad grecorromana, así como la adquisición de libros que dieron vida a las primeras bibliotecas americanas. No obstante, la circulación de ideas y conocimientos tomó una vía de doble dirección entre Europa y América, en el momento de mayor esplendor del humanismo europeo y del pensamiento empirista, contribuyendo a generar reflexiones científicas en torno al Nuevo Mundo.

Abstract
This academic article aims to publicize the processes of research experiences from the reflection and praxis that students and some teachers develop during the military training of future Suboficial of the Colombian National Army. The purpose of this article is to socialize the discourse, narration, and interpretation of learning and research practice developed by students at the Escuela Militar de Suboficiales “Sargento Inocencio Chincá”, applying an interpretation to those reflections that arise during the academic process, which are carried out through the development of different knowledge established in the curriculum and in the curriculum of the educational institution's programs from which they are allowed to know, learn and thus acquire skills, abilities, and skills as researchers in the academic and professional fields. The research experience can be seen and understood as a tool that allows us to reflect on the research process in order to improve meaningful learning and understand the learning rhythms to improve the academic process and thus be able to develop applied research and training taking into account the reality of the context.
Articulaciones entre ciudadanía y comunicación: experiencia de una radio ciudadana
Authors: Montaño Rico Daniel
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the present work was to inquire into the notion and practice of citizenship that suggest the exercise of community radio. The research was based on a case study with a qualitative approach, in the north of Mexico. The theoretical framework was taken from Latin American communicational thinking, in particular from the contributions made by María Cristina Mata and studies about the community communication. The analysis of the results coincided effectively with Mata’s proposals: the station was formed as a space from which individuals could organize themselves, where they were constituted as political subjects and they created channels of dialogue with political power.
An identified challenge of the research is the effective use of narrative and organizational resources to visualize and mediate the different voices and themes that arise from the heterogeneity of citizenship and articulate them with the approach of respect for human rights and universal democratic values. The media that do not create conditions of diverse participation are likely to reproduce unilateral models of communication and not achieve the purposes of socializing a political culture.
Alberto Castilla, Así llegamos las comunidades campesinas al Senado. Bogotá, La Fogata Editorial, 2018. 126 pp.
Authors: Monroy Simbaqueba Juan Felipe
Published: January 2025

En el libro Así llegamos las comunidades campesinas al Senado, se habla de la historia política de un senador de la República, quien se define a sí mismo como “el senador campesino”. Sin embargo, no se limita a narrar su vida —como si de una autobiografía se tratara— sino que cuenta cómo fue su evolución dentro de distintas organizaciones políticas hasta ser elegido por las mismas para llevar los requerimientos del movimiento social al Senado. En estas páginas no encontramos la historia de una ambición política personal ni el destino dictado del hijo nacido en una tradicional casa política. Por el contrario, el libro nos cuenta la historia del paulatino crecimiento de una organización política de carácter colectivo, que ve la luz en una Junta de Acción Comunal de un barrio del municipio de Convención, Norte de Santander, hasta ser un movimiento nacional con presencia en el Congreso de la República. Para hacer esto posible, fue necesario que el senador campesino, a lo largo de su historia política, lograra suplir las funciones del Estado, huir de la violencia por parte de los grupos armados y asociarse continuamente con movimientos sociales.

Introduction. La présence du VIH dans les prisons a des répercussions sur le VIH dans la communauté en général. L’objectif vise à étudier le comportement à risque d’infection à VIH/Sida dans la Prison Centrale de Kananga en vue de sensibiliser les décideurs à élaborer des plans stratégiques efficaces de prise en charge du VIH/Sida en milieu carcéral.
Matériel et méthodes. Il s’agit d’une étude transversale descriptive sur un échantillonnage aléatoire de 50 détenus ayant accepté de participer à notre étude allant de novembre 2022 à janvier 2023. L’analyse a consisté à l’appréciation des indicateurs sociodémographiques et culturels ; le comportement néfaste de détenus (vagabondage sexuel, l’utilisation abusive des objets tranchant), la détermination de la proportion des détenus en rapport avec le VIH/Sida.
Résultats. À l’issue de notre recherche, les résultats montrent que 32% des détenus avaient la tranche d’âge de 25 ‒ 29 ans. Le sexe masculin était le plus présenté avec 78%. Les pratiques néfastes chez les détenus étaient notamment l’utilisation d’une lame de rasoir sur plusieurs têtes (52%), les rapports sexuels non protégés (34%), les blessures pendant les bagarres entre les anciens et les nouveaux détenus (14%) et l’homosexualité (2%). Les substances toxiques utilisées par les détenus étaient le tabac (38%), l’alcool (24%) et du chanvre (18%). L’utilisation des objets tranchants (30%), les rapports sexuels non protégés (22%) étaient les modes de transmission du VIH/Sida évoqués par les détenus.
Conclusion. La population carcérale fait face à une situation de vulnérabilité au VIH/Sida, à leur sortie, les détenus constituent un risque supplémentaire de diffusion du VIH dans la population générale. Ainsi, les autorités politico-administratives et sanitaires devraient prévenir la propagation du VIH/Sida en prison et fournir des soins, un traitement et un soutien aux détenus séropositifs.

Elevated oxidative stress can contribute to inflammation, which is believed to play a role in oral manifestation such as GT or AU mainly in ages of 14 and 15 years. During this period, children are undergoing various physical, mental, and emotional changes due to their transition from childhood to adolescence. As GT or AU are more frequent in this ages, our aim of the study was to determine if there is any positive correlation between the salivary levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) considered a biomarker of oxidative stress and the severity and progression of mucosal pathology. Materials and methods: Using the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technique, we assessed the MDA concentrations which were statistically evaluated and compared between a study group of participants diagnosed with GT or AU and a control group of healthy age-matched subjects. Results: The study group has a significantly higher mean value (26.285) compared to the control group (21.425), with a p-value of 0.0017, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. However, the gender distribution between the study group (51.4% female, 48.5% male) and the control group (52% female, 48% male) does not significantly differ, as evidenced by a p-value of 0.9016. Conclusions: The levels of salivary MDA were higher in the study groups with GT and AU, with statistically significant differences (p 0.05) compared to healthy subjects, which questions weather oxidative stress might be linked to geographic tongue pathogenesis or aphthous ulcers.
UNLOCKING THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION: BRUXISM VERSUS PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
Authors: Fluerasu Mirela Ioana , Bocsan Ioana Corina , Buduru Smaranda , Iacob Simona Maria , Chisnoiu Andrea Maria , Nichimis Andra , Negucioiu Marius
Published: January 2025

Bruxism is a non-functional activity of the dental-maxillary apparatus characterized by repetitive, unconscious movements, such as grinding or clenching teeth and/or thrusting the mandible. Nowadays, bruxism is no longer considered a disorder or a disease but a behavior that can sometimes have consequences for the structures of the dental-maxillary apparatus.
Our study aimed to establish the prevalence of bruxism among Romanian adults and correlate the presence of this behaviour with psychological factors. The observational, analytical, and prospective study involved 271 volunteers, mostly women between 18 and 65 years. The study consisted of a questionnaire divided into three sections. The results were analyzed separately for sleep bruxism and awake bruxism using MedCalc Statistical Software version 19.1. The normality of the distribution of continuous data was analyzed with the Shapiro-Wilk test and expressed as the 25th, the median, and the 75th percentile. There were almost twice as many reported cases of awake bruxism among men compared to women (32.1% vs. 15.3%). Sleep bruxism and related symptoms were more prevalent in women but with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). When comparing the stress, anxiety, and depression scores obtained for respondents with and without bruxism, significantly higher values were detected in the case of people with manifestations of bruxism than in normal individuals (p=0.006, p=0.037, and p=0.032).
The study revealed a particular association between masticatory muscle fatigue and sleep bruxism, an association absent in awake bruxism. This proved once more that the two clinical forms of bruxism were different pathophysiological entities requiring a specific, individualized approach.
PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH PERIODONTAL DISEASE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

Published: January 2025

This study examined the presence of periodontal pathogens in 29 patients with type 2 diabetes, categorized into three age groups: Group I (18–30 years), Group II (31–50 years), and Group III (51+ years). Porphyromonas gingivalis was detected in various degrees across all groups, with no significant correlation between pathogen presence and patient age. The study also highlighted the prevalence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Bacteroides forsythus/Tannerella forsythia, and Fuzobacterium nucleatum, which were present in 29 patients, indicating a strong association with periodontal disease. Additionally, Eikenella corrodens and Capnocytophaga were found in patients with hyperglycemia, with positive results more frequent in Group II. Less common pathogens, including Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus, were detected in smaller numbers, but their presence suggests a significant role in periodontal pathology, particularly in older patients. These findings reinforce the link between oral microbial agents and periodontal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Effective oral hygiene and periodontal treatment are essential in reducing pathogen load and improving glycemic control, potentially lowering the risk of systemic complications such as cardiovascular disease.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study: The study aims to establish the particularities of the pediatric patients with dento-alveolar surgical emergencies, what types of emergencies are common and what treatment is applied. A closer investigation of "what is happening and why" is needed to explore the factors that contribute to the referral of families and their children to a public hospital over private practices, and why is a high demand for emergency dental care for children in recent years. Material and methods: The observational study is based on the data collected from the clinical records taken from 219 pediatric patients that presented in Emergency Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic Timisoara. Results: The most frequent types of diagnosis in pediatric patients encountered in the Emergency Department are cases of odontogenic infections and trauma. Children between the ages of 13 and 18 are most exposed of the teeth decay complications. Cases of trauma were as common as infections of odontogenic origin. The dento-alveolar trauma occurred almost twice as often in boys than in girls. Conclusions: Accurate diagnosis, timely treatment and monitoring are essential for the management of dento-alveolar surgical emergencies in pediatric patients. The management of dento-alveolar emergencies in pediatric patients is a complex procedure that requires a complete and accurate diagnosis, as well as treatment planning, based on a multidisciplinary approach.

Published: January 2025

This study explores the survival rates and complications associated with zirconia restorations veneered with feldspathic ceramic in patients who had been diagnosed by an orthodontist with spacing issues. All patients had previously undergone orthodontic treatment to improve aesthetics after their teeth had been properly aligned. As a result, these cases were addressed through prosthetic solutions. The study included 18 patients, with 11 pairs of restorations for females and 7 for males, all targeting the anterior region to correct diastema. The restorations were followed over a two-year period, with check-ups scheduled every six months. Of the 18 restorations, 10 experienced chipping, primarily at the incisal edges. Additionally, two cases showed a recurrence of diastema due to non-compliance with wearing their Hawley retainers. Interestingly, the failure rate was higher in female patients, indicating a potential link between gender and the durability of the restorations. Despite these challenges, the restorations that suffered chipping could be successfully repaired, which proved to be a significant benefit. These findings highlight the importance of regular follow-up visits to ensure the longevity of the restorations and to inform future treatment planning.

The limbic system is made up of a vast network of components such as the cingulate gyrus, the hippocampus and the parahippocampus or ismic formation. All these components make up the “Great Lobe Limbic”. Through its components, it makes numerous connections such as those with the septal area, the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the habenular nuclei or the mammary bodies. Our study aims to demonstrate the variability of the components of the limbic system through their morphometric evaluation on anatomical parts and, respectively on CT images. 13 adult brains without known neurological abnormalities, fixed in 10% formalin solution for a minimum of 10 weeks, and 22 CT craniocerebral datasets of patients without any organic cerebral dysfunctions were evaluated. To remove any bias, two teams of two investors each performed examinations. The anterior, superior and posterior diameters of the cingulate gyrus were measured, as well as the longitudinal and transverse diameters of the parahippocampal and isthmic gyri. In order to be able to compare the measurements made on the anatomical preparations with those provided by the CT images, we reported the diameters mentioned with the diameters of the corresponding hemisphere. All statistical analyses were conducted using Microsoft Excell 2016. Linear data were evaluated as mean +/- standard deviation. Comparisons between continuous variables were performed using the Student t-test. Statistical significance was set at a P-value 0.05. Statistical analyses demonstrated significant differences (p 0.01) between the two groups regarding FL/ACG, SL/SCG, OL/PCG and LCI/TCI. Only the LPG/TPG ratio was similar between the two cohorts. The limbic system has a great morphological and morphometrically variability. Our morphometric study proved precisely the variability that is found, both on anatomical parts and on CT images.

Aim of the study Mouth breathing syndrome (MBS) is a multifactorial condition where the patient breathes predominantly through the mouth instead of the nose, leading to negative consequences on facial development, oral and general health. Because of its complexity, MBS therapy requires close collaboration between different specialities. MBS is not just a respiratory problem; it also affects cranio-facial development, oral health, sleep and even some systemic functions of the body. An interdisciplinary approach ensures a complete evaluation and holistic treatment of the patient, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of MBS. Collaboration between specialists allows an individualized treatment, adapted to the specific needs of each patient preventing long-term complications. Involvement of both patient and family in the oral rehabilitation process, supported by the interdisciplinary medical team, is crucial for the success and maintenance of long-term results. Materials and methods The research undertaken aimed to identify the opportunities, challenges and barriers existing in the interdisciplinary approach to complete MBS rehabilitation. The study took into account the responses of 720 specialists from various fields of medicine involved in MBS therapy. Results Dentistry has only 14.5% of recommendation because it is the most represented among the specializations present in the study. Most often, the dentist recommends an ENT specialty or orthodontics. At the top of most frequent symptomatology was sleep disorders, with only 14 doctors specialised in somnology as classified itself as the newest type of the specialty. The most frequent symptomatology (484 responses) is speep apnea followed by 432 answers of orthodontic issues and with close values of dry mouth and halitosis. Conclusions Through collaboration between otolaryngologists, orthodontists, dentists, speech therapists, allergists and other specialists, optimal results can be achieved, improving the general health, craniofacial development and quality of life of patients.

Aim of the study: The main goal of this study is to analyze a group of panoramic X-rays using the resorption periodontal bone loss (R-BL) in order to diagnose periodontitis. Materials and methods: 65 of panoramic X-rays were included in this analysis. The measurements of the root length and total bone height were done on mesial and distal surfaces, using a special software processor specifically designed and used for radiographic measurements. The R-PBL scores were analyzed for every surface (mesial and distal), on the entire sample and on gender subgroups. Results: The mean R-PBL score for the entire sample was 14.32%. The highest scores were observed around first molars and central incisors. It seems like men tend to have/ have higher values of R-PBL. Conclusions: R-PBL was a good instrument to analyze panoramic X-rays related to diagnosis of the periodontitis.

As stomatognatic system dysfunctions, hypertonias are quite common. As premedication, miorelaxants, adjuvants for inflammatory processes (which result in antalgic hypertonic phenomena), and during local anesthesia through neuromuscular transmission blockage, miorelaxants are a class of pharmacological agents with various structures and mechanisms of action that are highly helpful in treating stomatognatic dysfunctions. The most current medication utilized for stomatognatic system miorelaxation is Botox, which has a favorable local administration impact in a variety of clinical circumstances and during stomatological operations. It also provides comfort during mandibulo-cranial repositioning and centric relation maneuvers.

Biomechanical efficacy is critical in managing tibial plateau fractures. This study compared the performance of polyaxial screw-plate implant systems under axial loading conditions using synthetic bone models. Osteosynthesis methods involving lateral, medial, and combined (lateral + medial) plates were evaluated. Although no statistically significant differences in stiffness and stability were observed across all groups under progressive axial loading, the combined lateral and medial plate technique demonstrated superior biomechanical performance compared to individual plate use. Notably, the lateral plate method outperformed the medial plate approach but was surpassed by the dual plate configuration. A statistically significant, directly proportional relationship between time intervals and displacement, along with an inverse correlation between time intervals and stiffness, was observed across all test groups. These findings highlight that combining lateral and medial plates enhances rigidity and stability, particularly under axial loading, making it a preferred approach for treating tibial plateau fractures.

Authors: Smărăndescu Dragos
Published: January 2025

Ideal convergence angle of axial walls is difficult to achieve clinically especially when multiple abutments are prepared for bridges. Studies have already shown that guided preparation gives better results than non- guided preparation. This paper shows the comparison between non guided and guided preparation on models that were prepared by 17 volunteer dentists.
The teeth were prepared as follows:
-upper left canine – non-guided.
-upper left central incisor - guided.
The results were as follows:
- convergence angle (CA) for non-guided: 10.58 degrees on average, 27 degrees maximum, one divergent preparation (-1 degree)
- CA for guided: 6.11 degrees on average, 9 degrees maximum, no divergent preparation
In 6 out of 17 models, CA was not in the 4 - 14 degrees interval on the canine (non-guided preparation) but came within this range on all central incisors (guided preparation).
Conclusion: guided preparation is a good way to improve CA and bring it close to textbook values.

The implementation of standardized protocols in dental practice are essential for ensuring a stress-free practice. Protocols are essential to a predictable and efficient modern dental management. They should cover every aspect of the practice's work. We will thus have clinical protocols for each type of treatment and protocols for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. For the administrative part the practice should have material acquisition protocols and communication protocols. These standardized procedures must ensure the optimisation of clinical outcomes, to enhancing patient communication, imagine and safety.
This article addressee the importance for the development and implementation of protocols, the challenges in their adoption, and strategies to successfully integrate them into daily dental practice. A good set of protocols should be characterised by improve procedural efficiency, clarity, compliance, and predictability.
