Visibilidad y construcción discursiva de la mujer en las publicaciones sobre alimentación de la prensa española
Authors: Rodríguez Barcia Susana , Varela Suárez Ana , Rifón Sánchez Antonio
Published: January 2025

Tradicionalmente se ha asignado a la mujer un lugar central en el espacio real y simbólico de la alimentación. Los artículos alimentarios publicados en la prensa constituyen una parte de la materialidad discursiva que permite analizar si esta disposición central pervive en la actualidad. Es por ello que la investigación que presentamos tiene como principal objetivo conocer la visibilidad y representación de la mujer en el discurso alimentario publicado en los principales diarios generalistas españoles entre diciembre de 2018 y enero de 2019. El corpus textual está compuesto por 330 noticias que se han sometido a un análisis discursivo realizado con perspectiva crítica. Esto es, nos ha interesado especialmente observar no solo la presencia de mujeres en la autoría y fuentes de documentación, sino centrarnos en la construcción y refuerzo de estereotipos en las temáticas y enfoques de los artículos que conforman el corpus. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto una representación profesionalizante de la mujer en el ámbito de la nutrición y la preparación alimentaria doméstica que consolida la centralidad tradicional de esta en el ámbito de la alimentación, aunque dirigida a espacios caseros en lo que refiere a las preparaciones; asimismo, se observan estrategias de sexualización y, en especial, de biologización de la mujer al disponer refuerzos gráficos y temáticos que inciden en su faceta estética o en su condición de madres.
Os discursos sobre o acesso à informação e a corrupção no Brasil: interfaces entre governos locais e a sociedade
Authors: Macedo Suélem Viana , Valadares Josiel Lopes
Published: January 2025

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de servidores públicos municipais e de integrantes da sociedade civil organizada sobre o acesso à informação e a corrupção na administração pública, buscando identificar as ordens que emergem do discurso destes atores e seus desdobramentos ideológicos. Metodologicamente optou-se por concentrar o estudo nos municípios de Belo Horizonte e Juiz de Fora. Em relação à coleta de dados, foram utilizados dados primários obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados seguiu as premissas da Análise Crítica do Discurso. As convergências, divergências e silenciamentos presentes nas falas analisadas permitiram a identificação de cinco ordens do discurso que problematizam possíveis desdobramentos ideológicos das relações entre governos municipais e a sociedade civil organizada: legitimação, imprescindibilidade, consenso, crença e distanciamento. Estas práticas discursivas contribuem, de forma ideológica, para que o acesso à informação seja compreendido como uma inciativa que deve ir além da simples disponibilização de dados públicos.
Analysis of the Criticism and Defense of Feminism in Social Discourse: A Case of Patriarchal Protection in Sports
Authors: Vázquez Rodríguez Carolina , Martínez Martínez Carmen , Herás Inés , Martín-Aragón Gelabert Maite , Terol Cantero M.ª Carmen
Published: January 2025

The social discourse against feminism has become broader and more explicit. This is generating a controversy that is taking shape in various spheres. Our research shows this controversy by analyzing comments made on digital versions of newspapers about a gift awarded to female squash players at a tournament in the north of Spain in 2019, which included a vibrator, an electric foot file, and hair removal wax. From forty headlines in Spanish, Latin-American and British newspapers, the obtained data set were 1,279 comments. Using a thematic analysis, the comments were classified in six subthemes: gender, offense, politics, patriarchal sexuality, context, and sponsor. The subthemes were grouped in three themes: new misogyny, sexist outrage and corporate advocacy. Two conflicting discourses, both based on two opposites men/women, equality/discrimination, show the social and political conflict in Spanish society. However, the sponsoring company is not questioned. Gender appears as a performative act whose reproduction maintains a tense relationship between what is presented as two different images of women: real/normal versus feminist. Results indicate that the comments reflect deep-rooted attitudes about gender and power, using ambivalent sexism and anti-feminist rhetoric to maintain the status quo, and how corporate sponsorship is presented as a justification mechanism. The debate focuses on the social discourse that pits the feminist model against the patriarchal one, understood as an epistemological stance. From the so-called new misogyny, which presents men as discriminated against, a false parallelism is used that misrepresents the concept of equality, accepts a pre-discursive order on women’s sexuality and neoliberalism through the defence of the corporate market.
Transversal Movements between Gender and Environment: Interdisciplinarity in Higher Education
Authors: Widegren Kajsa
Published: January 2025

Gender and environmental political analysis have had many common goals, articulated as, for example, ecofeminism. The two concepts can be thought of together, for example in regard to the unequal gendered vulnerability to the effects of climate change. However, in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, gender-specific indicators were integrated into most of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), though not into the goals directly aimed at ecological sustainability. This is one example of how gender is being marginalized in relation to environmental issues. A crucial context for combining gender and environmental studies is higher education and interdisciplinary education. The aim of this paper is to analyse syllabus texts that describe the content of courses with a joint focus on gender and environmental studies. Syllabi were retrieved through the Swedish admission system, which lists all courses and programmes offered at Swedish universities for the coming academic years. Using a qualitative method, intertextual relations of syllabi were mapped and the concepts of gender and environment analysed. The focus on intertextual relations between syllabi and theoretical, scholarly, disciplinary and policy contexts places syllabi in the wider context of interdisciplinary higher education, with its implicit structures of disciplinary centring, marginalization and transversal shifting of perspectives, which also points to the disciplinary status of Gender Studies in academia. More than half of the syllabi found were for courses and programmes offered at Gender Studies departments (or their equivalent). In these contexts, gender and environment were articulated within a frame of meta-theoretical accounts of disciplinary power, scrutinizing categorizations and conceptualizations in, for example, Natural Sciences. In the courses taught in other disciplines, gender was merely a perspective on the core concepts of, for example, developmental studies and relied more on empiricist notions of gender as a preconceived category.
La relación entre los cambios hormonales y la pulsión creativa en las escritoras contemporáneas
Authors: Montejo Rodríguez Julia
Published: January 2025

Este artículo explora la relación entre los cambios hormonales y la pulsión creativa en escritoras contemporáneas, con el objetivo de comprender cómo los ciclos hormonales como la menstruación, el embarazo y la menopausia influyen en la producción literaria femenina. A través de un estudio cualitativo, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas con 39 escritoras españolas, buscando capturar sus experiencias subjetivas sobre cómo las fluctuaciones hormonales afectan su capacidad creativa. El diseño de la investigación se basa en una metodología feminista, que subraya la importancia del cuerpo en la creación artística femenina, alejándose de la tradicional desconexión entre cuerpo y mente. Las entrevistas se centraron en tres momentos hormonales clave: menstruación, embarazo y menopausia, para comprender cómo las escritoras perciben estos estados y los integran en su proceso creativo. Los principales resultados muestran que un 65% de las escritoras entrevistadas experimentan una intensificación de la pulsión creativa durante la menstruación y el síndrome premenstrual, mientras que el embarazo y la maternidad ofrecen tanto desafíos como oportunidades para la creación literaria. El 75% de las escritoras en menopausia describen esta etapa como un «renacimiento creativo», marcado por una mayor libertad emocional y concentración. Las conclusiones sugieren que los cambios hormonales no son un impedimento, sino un catalizador para la creatividad, proporcionando a las escritoras una conexión más profunda con sus emociones. Sin embargo, esta relación es subjetiva y está influenciada por el contexto sociocultural en el que las mujeres desarrollan su obra. Este estudio contribuye a los estudios feministas de la creatividad, destacando la importancia de integrar el cuerpo y las experiencias hormonales en la comprensión de la producción literaria femenina.
A szakmai pedagógusok pályaelhagyásának aspektusai
Authors: Cserné Pekkel Márta
Published: January 2025

Magyarországon a közismereti és a szakmai tanárképzés
történetileg egy tőről fakad, a két forma ugyanakkor jól elkülönül
egymástól mind az intézményrendszerüket, mind szabályzásukat
tekintve. Hazánkban a pedagóguspálya és a tanárképzés az elmúlt
időszakban nagymértékben a fókuszba került. A szakma részéről
azonban többnyire a közismereti tanárképzés, illetve a képzési
struktúra volt a középpontban, ugyanakkor a
szakmaipedagógus-képzést számos eltérő jellegzetessége és
sajátossága miatt több szempontból speciálisan kell kezelni. A
szakmaipedagógus-képzés aktuális nehézségeivel és kérdéseivel
foglalkozó kutatások csak kevés alkalommal kerültek fókuszba. A
tanulmányban bemutatott áttekintés célja e hiány pótlása. Több
hazai publikáció is született a képzések történetével kapcsolatban
(Ballér, 1985; Orosz, 1991; Tóth és Varga, 2002), és megjelentek a
tartalmi és módszertani elemzések is, de az elmúlt egy évtizedben
leginkább a képzésbe belépő hallgatókkal és az intézményekkel
kapcsolatos kutatások jelentek meg (Bacsa-Bán, 2014; Tóth, 2011).
A szakmai pedagógusok helyzete a pályaelhagyás tekintetében is
igen speciálisnak mondható. Írásunk célja, hogy ismertessük a
szakmaipedagógus-képzés történeti aspektusait, külön kiemelve a
gyakorlatok fontosságát a képzésben, bemutassuk a tanártársadalom
ezen speciális csoportjának helyzetét nemzetközi viszonylatban, és
külön fókuszba helyezzük azon sajátosságokat, melyek a
pedagógus-pályaelhagyás jelenségét új megvilágításba helyezik.
Tehát szándékunk egy helyzetkép felállítása szakmai pedagógusokról
a pályaelhagyás tekintetében. Eredményeink megerősítik a
pályaelhagyás feltárt okait, amelyek kiegészülnek a
szakmaipedagógus- képzés sajátos aspektusaival.

Competency-based testing and credentialing: Addressing inequity in adult education via state policy reform
Authors: Jennings Austin S.
Published: January 2025

Competency-based testing and credentialing (CBTC) initiatives aim to address inequity in adult education by fundamentally changing how states use GED®, HiSET®, and TASC™ test scores to award and withhold high school equivalency credentials. However, CBTC is inconsistent with how developers intend states to use those scores. Accordingly, it falls on states to evidence the validity of such interpretations. In the present study, I do just that – analyzing the extent to which GED®, HiSET®, and TASC™ test scores reflect interchangeable measures of academic attainment for the purpose of credentialing high school completion. Findings suggest high alignment between these tests across all sources and types of validity evidence. This finding – that CBTC-oriented use of GED®, HiSET®, and TASC™ test scores is valid – may appear simple, but the policy implications are complex. Considerations range from how states should handle non-authorized test scores to how they can support stakeholders’ understanding of those scores.
An Investigation into the Anti-Aggregation Potential of Swietenia macrophylla Triterpenoid on Bovine Serum Albumin: Docking and RMSF
Authors: Al-Khairi Bayu Fajriansyah , Asy'ari Mukhammad , Aminin Agustina L. N.
Published: January 2025

Protein aggregation, caused by environmental factors, can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Hydrophobic compounds like latrepirdine are used in medical treatments like anti-Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. Swietenia macrophylla contains abundant hydrophobic compounds from the triterpenoid group, but their anti-aggregation potential has not been reported. This study investigates the hydrophobic interactions and anti-aggregation potential of triterpenoid compounds, including swietenine, swietenolide, khayasin T, beta-sitosterol, and stigmasterol, against bovine serum albumin (BSA). Latrepirdine is employed as the control compound. In silico methods, molecular docking and molecular dynamics showed potential in clusters 1 and 2, with swietenine having a more stable RMSF value than latrepirdine. The study found four clusters with all ligands, with cluster 1 being the earliest protein opening area. Mahogany seed triterpenoid compounds have potential in cluster 1 (51-67%), while cluster 2 has 37-46%. In cluster 2, they have an advantage over latrepirdine (2%). Stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol are spread across the clusters. The swietenine compound has a more stable RMSF value than latrepirdine. This suggests that mahogany seed triterpenoid compounds have potential as anti-aggregation agents.
Thermodynamic Study of Chitosan as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel in Chloride Solutions (NaCl and HCl) at Various Temperatures and Concentrations
Authors: Ilyas Khafid Ubay , Budiyati Eni , Hidayati Nur , Widayatno Tri
Published: January 2025

This research investigates the thermodynamic characteristics of chitosan as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in chloride electrolyte environments, specifically saturated sodium chloride and 1 M hydrochloric acid, across different temperatures and concentrations. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan in preventing corrosion and to examine the thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption process. The results revealed that chitosan achieved the highest inhibition efficiency of 90.07% in a 1 M hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 250 mg/L at 303.15 K. In contrast, the maximum inhibition efficiency in a saturated sodium chloride solution was 50.50% at the same concentration of 250 mg/L and 303.15 K. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption of chitosan is spontaneous and exothermic in both media. The standard free energy of adsorption was found to be -38.63 kJ/mol at 303.15 K, decreasing to -43.69 kJ/mol at 343.15 K in saturated NaCl, and -42.40 kJ/mol at 303.15 K, decreasing to -48.65 kJ/mol at 343.15 K in 1 M HCl. The enthalpy of adsorption was -0.24976 kJ/mol in NaCl and 4.93560 kJ/mol in HCl, while the entropy of adsorption was -0.12661 J/mol·K in NaCl and -0.15610 J/mol·K in HCl. Additionally, the activation energy for corrosion increased from 1.61 kJ/mol at 0 mg/L to 6.96 kJ/mol at 250 mg/L chitosan in NaCl and from 4.10 kJ/mol at 0 mg/L to 23.79 kJ/mol at 250 mg/L chitosan in HCl. SEM analysis confirms the formation of a protective chitosan film, significantly reducing corrosion damage compared to uninhibited conditions. These findings indicate that chitosan is a highly effective corrosion inhibitor with favorable thermodynamic characteristics for applications in chloride-containing environments.
Landslide disaster risk perception in times of COVID-19: A student’s perspective
Authors: Hernández-Cadena Karla María , Alcántara-Ayala Irasema
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to understand landslide risk perception among 15 to 20-year-old students in Teziutlán, Puebla, from 2018 to 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period in which communicating risks and providing information to the public were of utmost significance. The research involved a quantitative approach, using structured questionnaires to measure the level of risk perception within a specific population of young people residing in mountainous regions prone to landslides. A representative sample of 77 students from Antonio de Mendoza High School was interviewed using intentional sampling based on location and age. The study followed a comprehensive, multi-phase approach, which included developing indicators, obtaining informed consent, administering the questionnaire, ensuring voluntary participation, and data analysis. Young individuals interviewed showed a higher level of knowledge about the occurrence of landslides than what previous studies had reported. However, the global crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic overshadowed the dissemination of information about landslides and other hazards.
Expression of Actin Isoforms in Human Auricular Cartilage

Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to determine whether human auricular chondrocytes can also express α α−smooth muscle actin. Immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies for α α-smooth actin, muscle-specific actin, β-actin, S-100 protein, CD34, and desmin was performed on samples of human ear cartilage obtained from 20 individuals during a partial resection of the ear for different reasons. Moreover, the RT-PCR analysis of actin isoforms in auricular chondrocytes was performed. Approximately 60 % of the chondrocytes of the ear cartilage expressed α α-smooth muscle actin as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry in all the examined samples. Actin-positive chondrocytes occurred in both external subperichondrial layers of the auricular cartilage. This finding was confirmed by the RT-PCR technique. The knowledge of this fact could help us to better understand the chondrocyte changes occurring during the healing and transplantation of auricular cartilage. The question of whether it is necessary to refer to these predominating cells in ear cartilage as myochondrocytes is considered. This is the first report of an unusual immunophenotype and contractile potential for human auricular chondrocytes.
Regulation of Selectivity and Translocation of Aquaporins: an Update
Authors: Petrović Miloš M. , Valeš K. , Stojan G. , Basta-Jovanović G. , Mitrović D. M.
Published: January 2025

All living beings need to solve the problem of controlled transport of water. To this purpose, a special group of integral membrane proteins called aquaporins has evolved. There are 13 known members of this family that act as channels for water and small solutes, such as glycerol and urea. Although they allow large flux of water, they successfully prevent passage of protons. Here, we present the review of the data from the literature on the selectivity mechanism of aquaporins. The regulation of aquaporin activity occurs through regulation of expression of their genes, changing the localization of the already existing proteins in the cells and direct regulation of the activity in situ. We present the review of new data on the mechanisms of direct regulation. Special emphasis is on the advances in comprehension of aquaporin-2 translocation in collecting tubule cells of the kidney. Four elements of this process are described: 1) the role of protein kinase A and phosphorylation of serine 256 on aquaporin-2, 2) the transport of vesicles along the microtubules toward the apical membrane, 3), the removal of cytoskeletal subapical obstruction and the role of Rho GTPase and ezrin-radixin-moesin proteins in this, and 4) elevation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, the fusion of the vesicle with the apical membrane and the role of SNARE proteins in exocytosis.
Prepositioness datives in Old and Middle Irish: the instrumental, accompaniment/inclusive and appositional dative
Authors: Lash Elliott
Published: January 2025

The early Irish dative case is typically found after prepositions, but there are a number of nonprepositional usages. Three of these are explored in this chapter: the instrumental dative, the dative of accompaniment or inclusion, and the dative of apposition. The main goal of the chapter is to describe the syntactic distribution and features of these constructions, compare their similarities and differences, and ultimately to sharpen the classification of these three usages of the dative into distinct constructions. The bulk of the chapter concentrates on the third construction, the dative of apposition, in which the dative-marked nominal is found in apposition chiefly to a pronominal item. Because this pronominal is virtually obligatory, comparison between the early Irish appositional dative and a typology of similar “adnominal pronoun constructions” in other languages is made. A major contribution of the chapter is to show that there are various number and person restrictions that are placed on the pronominal antecedent but these restrictions are subject to diachronic variation. Finally, the dative of apposition is contrasted with the nominative of apposition, which is shown have a distinct syntactic structure.
Grammaticalization and the etymology of Old Irish ocus 'and'
Authors: Griffith Aaron
Published: January 2025

This paper integrates a philological investigation of Old Irish coordination with cross-linguistic accounts of the phenomenon in order to offer an etymology Old Irish ocus ‘and’. It is suggested that Pre-Irish employed ocus in a comitative coordination strategy (i.e. ‘A with B’). This started out as a nominal and adjectival coordinator. Late in the prehistory of Irish, this coordinator grammaticalized as the all-purpose ocus ‘and’ (i.e. ‘A and B’) that is found in Old Irish texts.
Limits of Empirical Studies in Accounting and Social Sciences: A Constructive Critique from Accounting, Economics and the Law
Authors: Biondi Yuri
Published: January 2025

Many empirical studies in social sciences including accounting, economics and finance apply a mathematical model to fit data in view to infer association between variables, or predict further serial values. Restricted by normal distributions and linear regression analysis, many studies neglect to address (i) the conceptual frame of reference and analysis overarching scientific endeavour (design); and (ii) the relationship between data and the phenomenon under investigation (morphology). This note discusses some consequences of this neglect of design and morphology, by pointing to accounting systems that stand behind data, and the conceptual framework which is needed to back and ground scientific research.
Investigation of cardiac remodeling and cardiac function on fetuses conceived via artificial reproductive technologies: a review
Authors: Tasias Konstantinos , Papamichail Maria , Fasoulakis Zacharias , Theodora Marianna , Daskalakis Georgios , Antsaklis Panos
Published: January 2025

The prevalence of artificial reproductive technologies (ART), such as intra-uterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), has surged in response to the global increase in infertility rates, now impacting 17.5 % of couples. With over nine million babies born through ART, the safety and efficacy of these methods are largely recognized; however, emerging concerns regarding their association with prenatal and long-term health risks, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD), necessitate a thorough examination. This review synthesizes recent findings on the cardiac remodeling observed in ART-conceived fetuses, highlighting the potential for sub-clinical dysfunction and subsequent cardiovascular anomalies that may extend into adolescence. It delves into the perinatal complications linked to ART and examines the contribution of the Renin-Angiotensin System, epigenetic modifications, and altered microRNA expressions to fetal cardiovascular development. The analysis further differentiates the cardiac effects of fresh vs. frozen ART cycles and investigates the enduring nature of these changes beyond birth. Addressing the elevated CVD risk among ART individuals, the review suggests proactive measures, including lifestyle adjustments initiated early in life, to mitigate potential adverse outcomes. It emphasizes the critical need for ongoing research and intervention strategies to safeguard the cardiovascular health of the increasing number of ART-conceived individuals.
Silicon-based particles as a platform for development of antiviral drugs
Authors: Parfenyuk Elena V. , Dolinina Ekaterina S.
Published: January 2025

The growing number of viral infections and viral strains from year to year requires the creation of new, more effective antiviral drugs. One of the cost-effective ways to increase drug efficiency is the development of delivery systems for already known and clinically used drugs in order to overcome the challenges currently limiting their efficiency. This review presents the current status of silicon-based particles in this area. Silicon-based materials consist mainly of silicon and its compounds and can contain other inorganic oxides, i.e. are inorganic in nature. Their inorganic nature provides a number of advantages over organic materials (e.g. polymers, lipids, micelles, etc.) which are widely proposed and already used for the indicated purpose. This review provides information about the structural features of the silicon-based materials, methods of their preparation. It contains studies showing why and how the particles themselves can serve as antiviral agents or, as carriers, can help overcome the disadvantages of active drugs and increase their antiviral efficacy. The review highlights the enormous potential of silicon-based inorganic particles (pristine or modified with various inorganic and organic species) in the fight against widespread viral infections.

Commodity Structure of Exports: Justification of the Principles and Consequences of its Formation for Ukraine in the Context of Global Challenges
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Puzrakov Anatoliy
Published: January 2025

The work investigates the commodity structure of exports, substantiates the principles and consequences of its formation, and identifies ways for Ukraine to transform its export policy in the face of global challenges. Porter's model, the theory of the "technological gap", "Center and Periphery", the paradigm of "flying geese", etc. are considered in substantiating the principles of forming the commodity structure of exports. Having analyzed statistical data on the state and structure of the commodity structure of exports in Ukraine, it was established both the negative consequences of a low level of "economic complexity" (we give a model), Dutch disease (model), "impoverished growth" (dependence of GDP on world prices, bad impact on GDP due to a low share of added value), and which types of economic activity are the most attractive for exports and require investment in innovative technologies. The predicted values of the volume of exports of goods and services are calculated and their values are obtained. The results obtained indicate a significant improvement in export activity indicators.

Peculiarities of the mechanism of protection of human rights and freedoms have been studied. The reasons for the importance of
the issue of protection of human rights and freedoms for the European Union are outlined. It has been established that since the
adoption of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms by the Council of Europe, the process
of forming a new European system for the protection of human rights and freedoms has begun on the territory of the EU. It is
emphasized that the scope of rights protected by the Convention is a relatively limited catalog of human rights, which can be
compared in terms of content with many other international legal documents, and its effectiveness lies not in the list of
guaranteed rights, but in a complex institutional mechanism for monitoring their observance. The body that ensures this control is
the European Court of Human Rights. The Convention provides specific rights for each person, and its provisions are considered
by the ECtHR as norms of direct application. It was determined that the European mechanism for the protection of human rights
and freedoms is a complex and integrated approach that involves the interaction of international and national institutions to
ensure the observance of the rights of every citizen.

The study examines the importance of macroeconomic conditions for attracting investments in the development of agro-industrial
enterprises. It proposes attracting foreign and domestic investors for the operation of agricultural enterprises. Recent research
emphasizes the importance of innovations for increasing the efficiency of agro-industrial enterprises. It is suggested to use GPS
and drone technologies for field monitoring and resource optimization, genetically modified crops and other biotechnologies to
increase yields and disease resistance, in order to be competitive in external and internal markets. Strategies for creating a brand
of Ukrainian agricultural products in the global market are formulated. It is concluded that investing in the development of agroindustrial enterprises is important for ensuring sustainable economic growth in Ukraine. Recommendations are developed to
improve financing and attract investments for the development of the agro-industrial sector, enhance its competitiveness, and
ensure the socio-economic development of rural regions.
ОЦЕНКА ЗАПАСОВ ЛЕСНЫХ ГОРЮЧИХ МАТЕРИАЛОВ В ПОВРЕЖДЕННЫХ ПОЛИГРАФОМ УССУРИЙСКИМ ПИХТОВЫХ ДРЕВОСТОЯХ КРАСНОЯРСКОГО КРАЯ

Проведена оценка изменения запасов лесных горючих материалов в пихтарниках крупнотравно-зеленомошных в подзоне южной тайги Красноярского края. Объектом исследования были темнохвойные насаждения с преобладанием пихты сибирской ( Abies sibirica Ledeb.) крупнотравно-зеленомошного типа леса, поврежденные полиграфом уссурийским ( Polуgraphus proximus Blandford). Установлено, что основной отпад приходится на деревья средних диаметров, подверженных значительному конкурентному давлению со стороны деревьев крупного размера. Проведена оценка запасов лесных горючих материалов (живого напочвенного покрова, упавших древесных горючих материалов, опада, подстилки). Установлено, что в нарушенных темнохвойных насаждениях на 8-10-й год с начала воздействия короеда они увеличиваются (с 24.01 до 41.53 т/га), в основном за счет упавших древесных горючих материалов (30.84 т/га), а также значительно возрастают запасы травяно-кустарничкового яруса (с 0.31 до 1.93 т/га).

An assessment has been made of changes in the stocks of forest combustible materials in large grass-green moss fir forests in the southern taiga subzone of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The object of the study was dark needle coniferous with a predominance of the Siberian fir ( Abies sibirica Ledeb.) of tall grass-green moss forest type, damaged by four-eyed fir bark beetle ( Polуgraphus proximus Blandford). It has been established that the main mortality of trees occurs in trees of medium diameter, which were subjected to significant competitive pressure from large-sized trees. An assessment of forest combustible materials stocks (living ground cover, fallen wood combustible materials and litter) was carried out. It has been established that in disturbed dark needle coniferous stands in the 8-10th year from the beginning of the bark beetle’s impact, the stock of forest combustible materials increases (from 24.01 to 41.53 t/ha). The increase was mainly due to fallen wood combustible materials (30.84 t/ha). In the disturbed stands, a significant increase in the reserves of the grass-shrub layer was also noted (from 0.31 to 1.93 t/ha).
Semántica de los verbos causativos del aimara formados a través del uso del sufijo deverbativo -ya
Authors: Gonzalo Segura Roger Ricardo
Published: January 2025

La formación de construcciones causativas es un proceso de cambio eventual, como producto de la adhesión de un nuevo participante al predicado de origen. Es decir, aquí estamos ante cambios que ocurren a nivel de la estructura eventual de los predicados, que aumentan su valencia a través de esta operación morfológica a la que denominamos causativización (Haspelmath, 2002). En el aimara, los verbos causativos se forman por derivación, principalmente, deverbativa, que consiste en añadir el sufijo -ya a una raíz o tema verbal. Esto tiene consecuencias sintácticas y semánticas por involucrar los argumentos de más de una manera para expresar si la causación es directa, indirecta o transversal dependiendo de la aplicación de las marcas de caso. Considerando lo anterior, nos planteamos los siguientes objetivos: describir los procesos morfológicos de la formación de los verbos causativos del aimara, determinar los constituyentes de la estructura causativa y explicar las consecuencias sintácticas y semánticas de tales derivaciones.
La palabra aimara jawira ‘río’: etimología y presencia toponímica
Authors: Cajavilca Veramendi Erik
Published: January 2025

Desde una perspectiva lingüístico-histórica, se abordó la palabra aimara jawira ‘río’ con el fin de reconstruir su etimología y establecer su empleo en la toponimia. Para ello, se recurrió a los vocabularios publicados existentes, gramáticas y fuentes coloniales sobre las lenguas aimaras. Las bases de datos geográficas gubernamentales sirvieron para buscar y seleccionar los topónimos respectivos. Se encontró que el término jawira es etimológicamente un tema verbal: *jawi ‘fluir’ + -ra ‘distributivo secuencial’ = ‘fluir continuamente’. Este fue reinterpretado para expresar al agente que ejecuta la acción de fluir, es decir, ‘río’. Diversos ejemplos adicionales demuestran la ocurrencia de este fenómeno de reinterpretación semántica. Respecto a su filiación dialectal, los lexicógrafos solo han reportado jawira en el aimara collavino. Hubo además una construcción paralela, jawiri ‘río’, que no prosperó más allá del siglo xvii en el léxico collavino, mucho menos en la toponimia. Finalmente, los topónimos con jawira revelaron que efectivamente jawira fue un elemento genérico, pero circunscrito en torno a la geografía collavina. La ausencia de topónimos jawira fuera del Altiplano andino indicaría que los ancestros de los aimaras collavinos que vinieron desde el noroeste usaban otra palabra para ‘río’. Hipotéticamente, esta habría sido */mayu/ ‘río’ (que es la misma palabra que se usa en el aimara central o yauyino). Dicha hipótesis abre el camino para reevaluar el origen protoquechua de */mayu/.
Dedicación y conocimiento profundo sobre las lenguas indígenas de los activistas digitales en el Perú
Authors: Vigil Nila
Published: January 2025

El artículo examina el activismo digital en lenguas indígenas en el Perú. Se analizaron entrevistas de cuatro activistas: dos quechuas y dos asháninkas. Se encontró que no solo dominan sus lenguas, sino que también tienen una conciencia sociolingüística distinta a las ideologías esencialistas del pasado. Su enfoque es inclusivo y de respeto mutuo entre las variedades lingüísticas. Además, los activistas muestran un fuerte compromiso en la difusión de sus lenguas en línea; así, invierten mucho tiempo en preparar sus contenidos, a pesar de no recibir incentivos económicos. También se identifican, en estos activistas, iniciativas innovadoras que desafían las convenciones académicas en materia de políticas lingüísticas. El estudio concluye subrayando el poder del activismo digital en lenguas indígenas como un medio efectivo y legítimo de activismo social, que no solo desempeña un papel crucial en la mediación y amplificación de la acción política y social, sino que también juega un papel fundamental en la difusión y revitalización lingüística.
Experiencias de docentes sobre el uso de materiales educativos en escuelas interculturales bilingües de Condesuyos, Arequipa
Authors: Arias Loaiza Geraldine , Salinas Yasmin , Azevedo Brasileiro Tania Suely
Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa com o objetivo de analisar as experiências de quatro professores de escolas rurais de revitalização da Educação Bilíngue Intercultural (EIB) em Condesuyos, Arequipa (Peru), em relação aos materiais educacionais que implementam em suas salas de aula. Foi utilizada uma abordagem fenomenológica interpretativa e foram realizadas entrevistas. Para a análise, foi aplicada a análise temática reflexiva com o apoio do software ATLAS.ti. Foram identificados dois temas principais. O primeiro foi desafios e barreiras na implementação dos materiais educacionais do EIB, que relata a experiência dos professores na implementação dos materiais, revelando treinamento e materiais didáticos insuficientes. O segundo tema, recursos educacionais para a implementação do IBE, reflete os benefícios de ensino que os professores identificam nos materiais educacionais, bem como as estratégias pedagógicas que eles criaram para complementá-los. Conclui-se que é necessário melhorar a distribuição dos materiais para que eles cheguem a tempo e em quantidade suficiente. Além disso, sugere-se que o treinamento de professores para o uso desses materiais seja reavaliado, levando em conta a revitalização linguística. Por fim, enfatiza-se a importância de ter materiais educacionais culturalmente relevantes e a inclusão das comunidades indígenas no processo educacional.
