Authors: Manap Abdul , Glorya Glorya , Rievay Rievay , Gabriela Septina , Zahra Yumia Ancella
Published: February 2025

This research evaluates the financial performance of investment companies using the Treynor-Black Method, which optimizes portfolios by combining high-alpha assets with a market portfolio to enhance risk-adjusted returns. The study applies this method to a sample of investment companies to examine its effectiveness in improving key performance metrics, including the Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Jensen’s Alpha. Findings indicate that the Treynor-Black Method substantially improves portfolio performance, with optimized portfolios showing higher Sharpe and Treynor Ratios and positive Jensen’s Alpha. These results suggest effective management of systematic risk and added value through active management. Nonetheless, the research acknowledges limitations such as dependence on historical data, potential data quality issues, and challenges in alpha and beta estimation. These constraints highlight the need for cautious interpretation and suggest future research directions, including the use of real-time data and alternative optimization approaches. The study provides practical insights for investment managers, offering a refined framework for portfolio construction and performance evaluation. It contributes to the field by validating and extending the Treynor-Black Method, enhancing strategies for aligning portfolios with risk-return objectives.

Authors: Loginova Svetlana K. , Fatulloeva Shoista Sh. , Dechev Gumer R. , Maximkin Daniil A.
Published: February 2025

The number of interventions for left main coronary bifurcation lesions in the Russian Federation increase annually. Such lesions are among the most challenging cases for endovascular treatment due to a high risk of cardiovascular complications. They are difficult to assess by angiography, and surgeons frequently encounter difficulties during interventions. To avoid complications and improve long-term outcomes, it is crucial to accurately determine the appropriateness of an intervention, assess characteristics of the lesion, and choose the most effective treatment strategy, and intravascular imaging methods, such as fractional flow reserve measurement, intravascular ultrasonography, and optical coherence tomography, can assist in doing so. Recent research demonstrates the effectiveness of these imaging methods at each stage of surgery; however, several contentious and debatable issues that warrant attention and further investigation remain. This article reviews the latest research regarding the use of intravascular imaging to optimize percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with left main coronary bifurcation lesions, as well as to highlight unresolved issues that require further exploration.

Published: February 2025

Background: Issues concerning necessity, advisability, and the method of mesh fixation during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair are actively debated. Their solution shall decrease the rate of late mesh-associated complications and improve the quality of life of patients in the long-term postoperative period. We developed an original method of mesh fixation during transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair (Russian patent RU2814607С1, May 30, 2023).

Objective: To evaluate results of using a new method of mesh fixation during TAPP repair.

Materials and methods: The observational study included 79 patients with inguinal hernias who underwent TAPP repair. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. The main group comprised 27 patients (34.2%) who underwent mesh fixation according to our proposed method. The first control group (standard mesh fixation using a stapler) consisted of 30 patients (38%), and the second control group included 22 patients (27.8%) whose meshes were not fixed. We evaluated the overall complication rate, pain duration and severity, rates of mesh migration or shrinkage, and hernia recurrence rate in the early and long-term postoperative periods. Ultrasonography was used to assess the mesh condition before the discharge and 6 months after the surgery. Quality of life in the long-term postoperative period was measured by the Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS). The data were analyzed with Statistica 10.0 (StatSoft Inc, USA).

Results: The first control group in which the meshes were fixed with a stapler had significantly higher pain severity and duration in the early postoperative period (U = 17; P= .01) than those of the main and the second control groups. In the first control group there was also a significantly higher rate of early complications compared with the main (P= .008) and the second control groups (P= .006). Six months after the surgery, mesh displacement and hernia recurrence were found in 1 (4.5%) patient from the second control group. No hernia recurrences were observed in the main and the first control group. CCS scores in the main and the second control groups had no significant differences: 27.3 ± 11.2 and 26.8 ± 8.6, respectively. The CCS score in the first control group (44.2 ± 7.3) was significantly lower (U = 14; P= .007) due to a greater number of patients (13.4%) with chronic pain and foreign body sensation in the implantation site.

Conclusions: The proposed method of mesh fixation offers a low rate of postoperative complications and sufficient reliable mesh fixation, thus improving quality of life postsurgery.
Comparative analysis of the results of IOL implantation of full and extended partial range of vision in patients with a history of keratorefractive surgeries
Authors: Kosakovskaya Marie
Published: February 2025

The aim: to conduct a comparative retrospective analysis of the clinical outcomes of implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) and extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses in patients with a history of keratorefractive surgeries. To assess the effect of the ocular surface condition on the quality of vision of patients in the late periods after phacoemulsification. Methods: data from 72 patients (101 eyes) were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into groups: group 1 – with implanted full-range of vision IOLs – MIOLs (18 people, 26 eyes), group 2 – with implanted extended partial range of vision IOLs – EDOF (54 people, 75 eyes). A comparative analysis of uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UCVA/CDVA) was performed. In the late postoperative period, UCVA/CDVA was assessed at near (30 cm) and intermediate (45 cm) distances. Subjective satisfaction of patients was assessed by filling out the questionnaire "Visual Function-14" (VF-14). Remote risk factors for the development and progression of dry eye syndrome were recorded using the Schirmer 1 test, the Norn test, and the subjects filled out the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. Results: a statistically significant change in visual acuity (VA) at a distance was revealed one month after surgery in both groups. In group 1, in patients at a distance of 30 cm, the UCVA/CVA was 0.73 ± 0.17/0.73 ± 0.17, at a distance of 45 cm - 0.40 ± 0.17/0.47 ± 0.17, in group 2, the UCVA/CVA at a distance of 30 cm was 0.54 ± 0.21/0.50 ± 0.20, at a distance of 45 cm - 0.42 ± 0.17/0.50 ± 0.17, respectively. In both groups, a decrease in tear production and tear film stability was noted.Conclusions: The results of MIOL and EDOF IOL implantation showed comparable high results of distance VA one month after phacoemulsification. At near distance, MIOLs provided higher VA, at medium distance - EDOF IOLs

Authors: Sanusi Wahidah , Irwan Irwan , Arkas Amaliah Nurul , Rusli Rusli
Published: February 2025

Perbedaan karakteristik pada setiap kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan menyebabkan terjadinya heterogenitas spasial sehingga metode regresi linear global menjadi kurang tepat digunakan pada data spasial dan metode Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) lebih cocok digunakan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik Angka Buta Huruf (ABH) di 24 kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan dan variabel-variabel yang mempengaruhinya dengan menggunakan GWR. Variabel prediktor yang digunakan adalah persentase penduduk miskin (PPM), angka partisipasi sekolah (APS), rata-rata lama sekolah (RLS), jumlah tenaga pendidik (JTP), dan persentase penduduk yang memiliki telepon seluler (PMTS). Teknik pengumpulan Data menggunakan metode dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial menggunakan metode Weighted Least Square (WLS). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa model GWR (koefisien determinasi 86,1%) lebih baik dalam menjelaskan angka buta huruf dibandingkan dengan model regresi linear berganda (koefisien determinasi 69,2%). Koefisien regresi dan variabel yang mempengaruhi angka buta huruf berbeda pada setiap lokasi, estimasi parameter berlaku secara lokal. Lokasi yang saling berdekatan cenderung memiliki pengaruh variabel prediktor yang sama, kecuali pada kota Palopo, Tana Toraja, dan Toraja Utara tidak memiliki pengaruh variabel prediktor yang signifikan.

Authors: Natrio Yeyep , Lestari Rinda
Published: February 2025

This study explores pragmatic strategies in Tiktok Live advertisements to understand how sellers influence consumer purchasing decisions through direct sales. Employing a qualitative approach and a case study design, data were collected from two Tiktok Live ad videos featuring apparel and bags. The analysis focused on observing interactions between sellers and viewers, with an emphasis on the use of deixis, implicatures, presuppositions, and speech acts.
The findings indicate that the use of personal and spatial deixis, hidden implicatures, presuppositions, as well as directive and commissive speech acts, is highly effective in capturing attention and driving purchases. Additionally, the study identifies “Directive Acts” as the dominant pragmatic category, with a total frequency of 38, indicating that directive actions (commands and instructions) are the most prevalent pragmatic strategy in direct selling on Tiktok Live. Language strategies such as creating urgency, personalizing interactions, and providing detailed product descriptions enhance viewer engagement. Positive viewer responses to various communication strategies underscore the success of direct sales campaigns.
This research identified effective communication patterns in Tiktok Live ads and provides practical guidelines for sellers to enhance their communication skills on e-commerce platforms, thereby enriching linguistic pragmatic studies in the context of digital marketing.

Published: February 2025

Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) is a large-scale infrastructure project designed to be one of the largest and most modern stadiums in Indonesia, with a capacity of up to 82,000 spectators.  This research analyzes the social conflict caused by the eviction of Kampung Bayam residents for the construction of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) from the perspective of social justice and human rights. This study aims to explore how the eviction not only reflects a violation of the right to housing, but also a denial of the collective rights of the community, including the right to development that affects their lives. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with secondary data from official documents, previous research, and mass media. The results show that the evictions not only resulted in the loss of people's homes and livelihoods, but also violated basic principles of social justice, such as the right to housing and participation in development. This denial of basic rights creates significant socio-economic impacts, including psychological trauma, difficulty accessing public services, and loss of economic stability. This research recommends inclusive and socially just development policies to ensure no group of people is marginalized.
Socio-Economic Conditions Of Nutmeg Farmers In Lonthoir Village After Independence 1950-2000
Authors: Muhamad Puput
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the economic, social, and cultural dynamics of nutmeg farmers in Lonthoir Village, Banda Island, in the period 1950 to 2000. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the impact of agrarian policies, fluctuations in international market prices, and modernization on farmers' lives. The findings show that the post-independence land redistribution policy experienced challenges in its implementation, while agricultural modernization during the New Order period benefited the local elite more than smallholder farmers. Farmers adopt diversification strategies and utilize customary systems to survive amid price fluctuations and social changes. The globalization of the spice market has also affected the stability of farmers' incomes, underscoring the importance of government support in protecting local market access. This research provides important insights into the history of agrarian and economic transformation in Indonesia as well as its relevance to rural development policies.
Professional Reviews (PRDs) in Early Year Settings in Scotland: A Critical Exploration of the PRD Process and Potential
Authors: Mills Patricia
Published: February 2025

This research study principally aims to investigate the process and potential of professional reviews (PRDs)[1] in early years settings.  This topic was an area of interest to me as a researcher, because I have been working for over 20 years in childhood practice and only received two PRDs in that time. Early years is evolving, and policy and guidance is everchanging. Siraj and Kingston (2015, p. 15) highlight it is therefore essential that practitioners maintain commitment to professional learning to effectively deliver the provision the service expects, leading to improved outcomes for children.
Staff within an early years setting were key research participants. The investigation was positioned in the interpretivist paradigm, as it explored early years practitioners’ (EYP) experiences and perceptions.  This study will interrogate whether staff require a PRD for professional learning to happen, thus exploring PRDs’ purpose. The study will also compare continuous professional development requirements, within the Glasgow context specifically, in early years, and that of the teaching profession (primary and secondary sectors).
The data collected indicated that the potential of PRDs was dependent on how the process was carried out. Themes emerged highlighting that leadership was perceived to be a main factor to the success or failure of the PRD process, and how staff professional development could ultimately impact on provision and outcomes. The implications of this research could ignite change and highlight the absence of current literature in this field of study. 
 
[1] Professional Review and Development (PRD) is an ongoing learning process supported by an annual meeting between reviewer and reviewee. For pragmatism, this paper also refers to the annual meeting as a PRD.
Exploring the Challenges at the Broad General Education to Senior Phase Transition in Scotland’s Curriculum
Authors: Graham Jonathan
Published: February 2025

Since the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) many secondary schools have modified their curricular structure, influenced by the requirement to deliver pupil entitlements and offer a Broad General Education (BGE) to the end of S3. The autonomy afforded to head teachers (HTs) offers schools significant flexibility in designing their curriculum, which has resulted in a range of curricular structures across Scotland.  However, many schools find it challenging to attain a balance between ensuring learners receive their entitlement to a BGE while also supporting progression to the Senior Phase (SP). This empirical research uses Glasgow secondary schools as a case study.  It seeks to understand the underlying reasons giving rise to this challenge, and how this impacts on curricular structures.  It concludes with recommendations for practice and policy to alleviate the challenge.
Interdisciplinary Learning: A Study of Practice within Secondary Schools in Glasgow, Scotland
Authors: Arthur Jane , Corral William , Harvie Julie
Published: February 2025

The need for young people to acquire transferrable skills and knowledge by blurring disciplinary boundaries and applying their learning to real life contexts has been a theme of global educational policy in recent years (OECD, 2018a; United Nations, 2015).  Within Scotland this is reflected in Curriculum for Excellence where Interdisciplinary Learning (IDL) features heavily and is cited as one of four main contexts for learning alongside: Curriculum areas and subjects, Ethos and life of the school, and Opportunities for personal achievement. However, some studies indicate that an implementation gap exists and that IDL is not being fully realised in practice (Graham, 2019; Harvie, 2018). A recent report suggested that “Colleges and universities might consider partnering with practitioners to measure the impact and requirements of quality IDL experiences.” (Education Scotland, 2023, p. 7).  In line with this, Glasgow City Council and the University of Glasgow partnered to conduct a research study in three secondary schools in Glasgow which were identified as having good practice in IDL. This article presents the findings in relation to approaches participating schools used to plan and implement IDL and the impact this work had on pupils and the wider school community.
Sobre el caso clínico en psicoanálisis
Authors: Grau-Pérez Gonzalo
Published: February 2025

Desde hace bastante tiempo, el caso clínico se ha convertido en un asunto polémico en psicoanálisis. Ya no todo el mundo considera que constituya el dispositivo  principal de comunicación de la experiencia y la práctica analítica. Más aun, muchos psicoanalistas opinan que, definitivamente, debería evitarse la construcción de casos, sean estos de la clase que sean. Guy Le Gaufey ha sido, en el último tiempo, uno de los más famosos críticos del estatuto epistemológico del caso. Su último trabajo sobre el tema fue publicado en un libro reciente, titulado El caso en psicoanálisis: Ensayo de epistemología clínica (Le Gaufey, 2020/2021). Aquí discuto sus principales argumentos, procurando mostrar que –cuando se los analiza con atención– no prohíben todo empleo del caso clínico, y que además tal prohibición no resultaría en nada beneficiosa.

Creatividad: nuevos y viejos desafíos en el siglo XXI
Authors: Chabalgoity Ana María , Costanzo Paulina
Published: February 2025

The authors of the paper suggest the need to preserve the humanizing bond between the subjects, as a necessary but not sufficient requirement, for any creative event to take place.They borrow the concept of creativity from Winnicott,who does not restrict to and/or focus on the creator and hiswork. For Winnicott, living creatively is related to the possibility that we have for relating to «external reality» so that we cantransform what already exists in us and in that reality in order to give rise to something new, making us feel that life is worth liv-ing. In the face of the challenges that the creative capacity of the subjects meets nowadays, the paper is an attempt to discuss the interweaving of such mutually unyielding logics as those of sociocultural changes and the intrapsychic and intersubjective world.The paper establishes a dialogue with contributions from psychoanalytic authors and thinkers from other disciplines, such ashistory, philosophy, and anthology, among others.
Los misterios de la creación: entre cuerpo y cultura
Authors: Goldstein Gabriela
Published: February 2025

Creativity is a human activity, articulated with clinical activity, culture offers the possibility, one of the most significant ones, of feeling alive. In a creation, in the sense of a work of art, a problematic knot emerges, as an act, and as a phenomenon, which registers a discursive form that marks its own «incapacity» of having access or expressing totality. Creating, under these circumstances, continues to comprise something enigmatic. In this paper, I invite to enter the intimacy of creation.The sensorial and corporeal dimension of his work, recovers in the artist and in the spectator, its most original nature, displays the re-edition of a pleasure trace, and of an initial fusion. Repetition operates as a possibility for transforming, for working through the «surplus work».This process of producing a work has a constructive logic thatincorporates something ineffable, irrepresentable, and not integrated. Part of the experience of creating is transferred to the work, as the imperceptible movement.Psychosexual and psychosomatic, the intimacy of creation convokes, in its effect and in the one who produces it, a psychic,libidinal, and secret pleasure.
La salvación del psicoanálisis
Authors: Killner Alicia
Published: February 2025

Freudian psychoanalysis is knowledge always in peril, always besieged. It is a work in progress which cannot be frozen as an es-tablished dogma. Therein lies a considerable trouble. It is not an established or consolidated knowledge, nor an universal of science, but a knowledge that is not known and that is to put on hold,that does not abide by statistics because the knowledge that is not known and must be deciphered is written in a strange language,in each subject (and for his analyst) and he carries it encrypted in his body, hidden but in sight and slips into what is said saying.The question is, however, in what key to the reading we can approach to Freud works 100 years later? Is it possible to think about it in relation to the treatment that culture makes of Oedipus along times? What can and should be lost from Oedipus, what can and should be preserved from myth and tragedy? Perhaps it is the «not knowing about Oedipus» that captivates Freud, the detective who ignores that he himself is the murderer?In times of political correctness that does not allow itself to be questioned, the modern soul connected with the tragic hero muststill be saved. Saving the modern soul is to retake a subjectivity, which is homogeneous with the Freudian concept of Unconscious.The Talmud says: «Teach your tongue to say “I don’t know” so that it doesn’t get entangled in a web of deceit.»
Una clínica engenerada. un psicoanálisis que empuje hacia adelante
Authors: Carril Elina
Published: February 2025

El psicoanálisis ha descubierto verdades, que se han propuesto como universales, a las que hay que someter permanentemente a revisión para despejar en ellas su posible impregnación histórica. Este artículo propone trazar algunas líneas que reflejen la complejidad de algunas situaciones clínicas que nos enfrentan a tener que abrir caminos de comprensión y teorizar acerca de fenómenos tales como la violencia de género sobre las mujeres en el ámbito de las relaciones erótico-afectivas o los efectos psíquicos del abuso sexual infantil en la vida adulta. El psicoanálisis que incluye la perspectiva de género ha abierto vías fecundas de comprensión en la clínica, así como ha recusado la ilusión universalista de algunos postulados clásicos sobre la sexualidad y subjetividad de mujeres y varones. Desde esta perspectiva teórica, y con los aportes de J. Laplanche y S. Bleichmar, la autora comenta, a modo de ilustración,  tres situaciones clínicas cuyo punto en común son mujeres abusadas en su infancia.
Vigencia del psicoanálisis en el trabajo con poblaciones vulnerables
Authors: Defey Denise
Published: February 2025

La teoría psicoanalítica ha iluminado como ninguna otra la comprensión del funcionamiento psíquico en condiciones de precariedad e indefensión extremas. El presente trabajo pretende aportar conceptualizaciones sobre el trabajo clínico con poblaciones vulnerables, las cuales traduzcan dichos aportes en intervenciones clínicas relevantes y pertinentes para situaciones de vida diferentes a aquellas para las que se diseñó originalmente la técnica.
Un comentario irreverente.Trazas e inicios de un discurso psicoanalítico en el Uruguay.
Authors: García Press Fernando
Published: February 2025

El 12 de diciembre de 1935, Iris Cabezudo, una «joven normalista», asesina de varios balazos a su padre, Lumen. La noticia fue publicada por múltiples periódicos de la época, cobrando así gran relevancia pública. Un año más tarde fue publicado el informe médico legal realizado por el psiquiatra Camilo Payssé. Allí aparecía un hito que podemos considerar iniciático y fundamental: el psiquiatra Valentín Pérez Pastorini realizó un comentario haciendo una referencia al psicoanálisis, novedosa e inédita. El comentario, realizado desde una posición de irreverencia, hace inteligible una distancia con el discurso de la psiquiatría de la época. Discute la utilización fragmentaria de las teorías psicoanalíticas, subrayando  la importancia del método para poder llegar a conclusiones psicoanalíticas.Quedaba atrás cierto eclecticismo característico de la  psiquiatría de comienzos del siglo veinte. Del psicoanálisis ya nose iba a poder hablar de cualquier manera.
Aproximando la pasión femenina
Authors: Leisse de Lustgarten Alicia
Published: February 2025

Las líneas recorridas pretenden destacar cómo se gesta la pasión o los estados pasionales, marco de las vivencias tempranas del desarrollo psíquico, deteniéndonos en eso particular que hace a la mujer. Nos hemos movido en el terreno de los comienzos de la vida, donde reinan las satisfacciones narcisistas, gestoras del sí mismo, al tiempo que las vivencias polares del todo o nada, de las gratificaciones dentro de la ilusión de completud que colorean ese mundo temprano. El advenimiento progresivo de la condición de sujeto encara al pequeño ser con la falta, motor del deseo, vía fantaseada en su proceso de subjetivación, condición de vida.
La transmisión en psicoanálisis en articulación de carencia de palabra
Authors: Polto Aurora
Published: February 2025

El trabajo propone dar cuenta de la complejidad para lograr una transmisión psicoanalítica de la posición anoréxica, consideradapor autores contemporáneos como un peculiar modo de articulación del sujeto, en el que toma el timón una profunda posiciónsubjetiva de rechazo del Otro.Prescindiendo de la palabra propia y la del otro, se instala a través de una lógica de repetición, más allá del principio delplacer, jaqueando al analista en su posibilidad con la palabra, incluso con la propia.Durante el trabajo de un equipo de abordaje de estos sufrimientos, fue cobrando valor, para la autora, el registro de la mirada,el gesto y la voz, incluso muda, así como la música como movimientos transferenciales para el trabajo sobre la puestaen acto en el cuerpo de estos sujetos. Elementos considerados imprescindibles para lograr una teorización y una transmisión deestos padecimientos.Se propone utilizar el concepto de acontecimiento, acuñado por A. Badiou, como apoyo metafórico para ofrecer una posible transmisión de la boca-nada anoréxica como acontecimiento anoréxico.
¿Mutaciones o transformaciones en la clínica? De lo presencial a lo virtual, de la exclusividad de la palabra al uso de fotos en la práctica del psicoanálisis vincular
Authors: Lafitte Jacqueline , Yacosa Bruno Sonia , Turim Elena , Aparecida Solange , Aldrighi Flake Tania
Published: February 2025

El objetivo de este artículo es discutir las transformaciones en la práctica del psicoanálisis vincular de parejas y familias que hantenido lugar en los últimos tiempos y que han sido estudiadas por un grupo de investigación formado por terapeutas que ejercemos en Brasil y Uruguay. Nos centraremos específicamente en el uso de la virtualidad y de fotos como mediadores. La investigación tiene abordaje cualitativo y puede ser calificada como exploratoria, ya que busca la ampliación inicial del conocimiento sobre un tema poco abordado que podría servir de referencia para futuras investigaciones.Partimos de una comprensión de la foto como objeto mediador facilitador de la palabra. Elegimos presentar una viñetade una sesión de terapia familiar en la modalidad virtual y con mediación de fotos. El uso de fotos resulta un objeto mediador que  se adapta muy fácilmente a la virtualidad, a diferencia de otros objetos mediadores que son recursos posibles en sesiones familiares presenciales. Las fotos permiten el acceso a nuevas imagos que, junto con la pregunta o consigna de la sesión, conforman un encuadre contenedor y la creación de una nueva envoltura que permite la circulación de la palabra y de los afectos.
Transmisión -recepción y el uso personal de diferentes teorías psicoanalíticas durante la formación psicoanalítica
Authors: De León Beatriz
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo estudió los efectos del pluralismo en la formación psicoanalítica, en un grupo de psicoanalistas que habían terminado su formación en el Instituto de la Asociación Psicoanalítica del Uruguay (APU) en el año 2005. El proceso de transmisión y recepción de las ideas, y el uso de las mismas en la práctica fue estudiado en materiales clínicos presentados para aprobar la supervisión y la tesis de maestría, y en entrevistas en profundidad grabadas, realizadas a los participantes. En el análisis de los datos se usó una metodología cualitativa, atendiéndose a los requisitos éticos, especialmente a la confidencialidad. El estudio fue realizado en dos etapas, entre 2005 y 2010, y entre 2012 y 2018. 
Los resultados obtenidos permitieron describir algunas características de las ideas psicoanalíticas usadas por el grupo estudiado y diferentes procesos inferenciales de articulación teórico-clínica: el ilustrativo, el evocativo y el crítico. Se discuten potencialidades y riesgos de estos diferentes procesos de inferencia. El estudio realizado mostró que la totalidad de los analistas usó diferentes enfoques teóricos en el proceso de elaboración de su práctica e ideas en el período de su formación, valorando el contexto pluralista de la misma. Se discuten los resultados obtenidos, considerando los límites de esta investigación y dejando abiertas interrogantes referidas a las características de la formación psicoanalítica en el momento actual y de cara al futuro.
La función del analista: límite para la construcción
Authors: Eidlin Mónica
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo aborda la experiencia analítica con pacientes que viven en un estado de constante inquietud psíquica, experimentando las demandas internas y externas como amenazas que desestabilizan su frágil equilibrio psíquico. A través del caso de Ana, se analizan las manifestaciones de la vulnerabilidad del yo, donde el temor a la desorganización mental la lleva a emplear mecanismos defensivos extremos, como la identificación proyectiva y la construcción de un «muro narcisista» que la aísla de la relación con el analista.La paciente presenta dificultades para construir su propia historia, con trastornos en la temporalidad y espacialidad, lo que impide la creación de un campo de trabajo analítico durante un período prolongado. A pesar de la presencia regular de Ana en las sesiones,su discurso inquieto y excesivamente cargado de afectos dificulta la posibilidad de ser escuchada y pensada. Desde una perspectiva contratransferencial, el trabajo reflexiona sobre los desafíos que plantea el tratamiento de pacientes con una fragilidad significativaen su sentimiento de sí y en sus relaciones con los otros, cuyo origen  radica en fallas tempranas en la estructuración del yo, generando límites confusos que obstaculizan el establecimiento de una nueva forma de relación objetal en el encuadre analítico

Edipo para una ética de la diferencia
Authors: Sogliano Gustavo
Published: February 2025

Edipo, desde la tragedia al fundamento de estructuración psíquica, es en su proceso y dimensión cultural un devenir donde sealcanza la posible capacidad de diferencia que supone un posicionamiento ético en el encuentro con el otro. Ética que es fuente deregulación pulsional y de responsabilidad por el otro. El trabajo intenta explorar el engarce entre estos conceptos fundamentalesdel acontecer humano. Su inserción cultural en la trama teórica de comprensión freudiana como fundamento ingresa en relacióncon autores que, desde otras disciplinas humanas, concurren en el sentido de esta lectura. Destacar la validez de estos conceptosque transitan entre lo singular y lo colectivo parece ser un requerimiento que confronta las formas de poder y omnipotenciaque, en lo psíquico y sus expresiones culturales, impiden el posible reconocimiento del otro en su condición de enigma y diferencia.
Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reaction due to Anti-TB Drug Allergy in TB-HIV Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Yanifitri Dewi Behtri , Arliny Yunita , Hayati Rahmi
Published: February 2025

Background: In people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death, with a 20 times higher risk of developing active TB compared to people without HIV. PLHIV are also at higher risk of experiencing cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR) caused by anti-TB drugs. The delayed therapy of TB caused by CADR might make TB management more difficult.
Case: A 23-year-old male with clinically confirmed pulmonary TB on intensive phase anti-TB therapy experienced erythroderma due to allergies to anti-TB drugs and stage III HIV. In the drug challenge, it was found that the patient showed an allergic reaction in the form of a reddish rash that spread widely on the anterior and posterior thorax and abdomen after consuming rifampicin and pyrazinamide.
Discussion: The patient's treatment was then added with cetirizine and methylprednisolone. The anti-TB drugs will be given for 9 months, with the intensive phase of 2 months, and the continuation phase of 7 months.
Conclusion: There is a very high risk of CADR in TB patients with HIV infection. Monitoring the side effects of anti-TB regularly and identifying immediately which anti-TB drug causes the allergy is significant as the key to managing CADR in TB-HIV patients. Anti-TB drug provocation tests for each drug and a gradual dose increase are carried out if the clinical CADR has disappeared or improved.
