An analysis of the interaction between surface and basal crevasses in ice shelves
Authors: Zarrinderakht Maryam , Schoof Christian , Peirce Anthony
Published: August 2024

Abstract. The prescription of a simple and robust parameterization for calving is one of the most significant open problems in ice sheet modelling. One common approach to the modelling of crevasse propagation in calving in ice shelves is to view crevasse growth as an example of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Prior work has, however, focused on highly idealized crack geometries, with a single fracture incised into a parallel-sided slab of ice. In this paper, we study how fractures growing from opposite sides of such an ice slab interact with each other, focusing on different simple crack arrangements: we consider either perfectly aligned cracks or periodic arrays of laterally offset cracks. We visualize the dynamics of crack growth using simple tools from dynamical systems theory and find that aligned cracks tend to impede each other's growth due to the torques generated by normal stresses on the crack faces, while periodically offset cracks facilitate simultaneous growth of bottom and top cracks. For periodic cracks, the presence of multiple cracks on one side of the ice slab, however, also generates torques that slow crack growth, with widely spaced cracks favouring calving at lower extensional stresses than closely spaced cracks.
O horror em “Morto não fala”

Published: August 2024

O presente artigo objetiva analisar o horror social presente no conto Morto não fala, de autoria de Marco de Castro, e em sua respectiva adaptação cinematográfica, do diretor Dennison Ramalho, ao mesmo tempo em que se busca perceber suas semelhanças e diferenças narrativas. Para tal, parte-se do campo dos Estudos Culturais, compreendendo o potencial representacional e pedagógico presente em ambos os artefatos culturais. Em termos metodológicos, se adota uma postura transmetodológica, com usos da análise cultural, análise do discurso, metodologia visual crítica e da etnografia em tela. Nota-se a íntima e rica relação entre literatura e cinema, tão prolífica a ponto de possibilitar reflexões e lições no tocante à problemáticas sociais contemporâneas. A adaptação de Morto não fala caminha lado a lado com o conto em muitos aspectos, embora diferencie-se em outros pontos e mesmo transcenda em determinadas questões desenvolvidas de forma mais profunda. Em termos narrativos, e pensando os elementos presentes em ambos, percebe-se uma similaridade, além disso, ambos se enquadram como pertencentes ao gênero do horror. De modo geral, pode-se conceber que ambos se apresentam como ricos, pois, a partir de seu horror, propõem percepções e reflexões sobre nós mesmos e sobre o mundo que nos rodeia.

This excerpt deals with the interdialogical relationships between the book Flores raras e banalíssimas (1995), by Carmem L. Oliveira, and the film Flores raras (2013), by Bruno Barreto, having as comparative guidance the considerations of Arfuch (2010) and Ricoeur (2010) on biography and writing of subjective discourses, as well as the questions by Green (2000) and Miskolci (2006) regarding the closet in which the desires and affections between people of the same sex were forcibly placed in most cultures. We seek to point out the proximity and distance between the two works book and film, analyzing the strategies used by both Oliveira (1995) and Barreto (2013), for the biographical composition of the love story between the Brazilian architect Maria Carlota Costallat de Macedo Soares (1910-1967) and the North American poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979). The selection, interpretation and narration of this lesbian marriage, against the background of Rio de Janeiro in 1950-70, engender many symbolic and cultural issues, for which we adopt the perspective of free listening, avoiding judgments and projections, and trying, always, follow the comings and goings of the artistic reports themselves.
As adaptações cinematográficas
Authors: Gonçalves Marina , Heupa Andriele Aparecida
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho propõe um olhar para as adaptações cinematográficas: Ligações Perigosas (1988), dirigida por Stephen Frears, e A sociedade literária e a torta de casca de batata (2018), dirigida por Michael Cormac Newell. O objetivo é refletir sobre as representações de três personagens: Madame de Merteuil, Juliet Ashton e Elizabeth Mckenna, analisando as personagens enquanto leitoras e propiciando diálogos sobre essas mulheres. Para isso, o percurso foi dividido em três partes: a teorização acerca das adaptações; a contextualização sobre cada personagem em foco; e a análise das ações realizadas pelas mulheres com vistas aos procedimentos de exclusão elencados por Foucault (1999). Os resultados da análise apontam que a leitura foi um diferencial na vida das personagens, colocando-as em posições sociais de confronto aos discursos dominantes de classe e de gênero. Assim, a relevância deste artigo reside na exploração das representações de personagens femininas a partir das adaptações, evidenciando mulheres que transgridem os papéis sociais de gênero.

A transposição de textos literários para as mais variadas formas de mídia, com destaque para o cinema, apresenta-se como um processo dinâmico e, essencialmente, intertextual. Com a ascensão da prática adaptativa, difundida no Ocidente especialmente pela Era de Ouro do cinema hollywoodiano, o teórico Roman Jakobson, na década de 1960, torna-se o responsável por introduzir o conceito de “Tradução Intersemiótica” para descrever o processo de transcodificação entre sistemas semióticos diferentes, como da linguagem verbal para a linguagem visual – por exemplo, de um poema para um filme. Com isso, tendo em vista a adaptação como uma (re)textualização criativa entre meios distintos de expressão artística, este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão crítica de estudos considerados fundamentais no campo da Intersemiose (PLAZA, 2010) e da Teoria da Adaptação (XAVIER, 2003; SANDERS, 2006; HUTCHEON, 2013), explorando suas implicações na interação entre a literatura e o cinema.
A tradução intersemiótica sobre a morte de Ofélia na tragédia, pintura e cinema
Authors: Barbosa Clarissa Loureiro Marinho , Queiroz Carlos Eduardo Japiassú de
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho discute a cena da morte de Ofélia, a partir das representações visuais dela na tragédia Hamlet, como uma manifestação artística proporcionadora de ressignificações singulares na pintura e no cinema. Para tanto, aborda o corpus – além da tragédia Hamlet, o quadro Ophélia, do pintor John Everett Millais, e o filme Ophelia (2018), da diretora Claire McCarthy – como escrituras (BARTHES, 2004) cujos sentidos se tornam móveis pelas relações que mantêm entre si. Assim, analisa-se a tradução intersemiótica (PLAZA, 2003) da tragédia para a pintura e da pintura para o cinema, observando-se como essas duas formas de intertextualidade (KRISTEVA, 1974) preservam a imagem poética (NITRINI, 2021), gerada pelo olhar estético do leitor sobre a morte de Ofélia. Dessa forma, as análises dos textos se dão, baseadas na visão da Literatura Comparada, enquanto um recurso crítico e analítico (CARVALHAL, 2006), em que os métodos se realizam pelas possíveis interpretações dos objetos. Acredita-se, portanto, que este trabalho se torna relevante porque dá protagonismo a Ofélias diferentes, que se assemelham por serem arquétipos comportamentais cuja beleza da morte atravessa séculos, sendo traduzida de modos distintos, segundo determinadas intenções de construções identitárias femininas.
Entre a literatura e o cinema

Published: August 2024

São recorrentes na história do audiovisual obras cinematográficas que são inspiradas em obras da literatura. Dentro desse tema, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre as obras Little Women (1868) [Adoráveis Mulheres] e Good Wives [Boas Esposas] (1869), de Louisa May Alcott, e a adaptação fílmica de título homônimo, da diretora Greta Gerwig. O elo entre as obras está na maneira como ambas bordam uma leitura feminista das personagens protagonistas e as reflexões sócio-culturais associadas às narrativas. O embasamento teórico parte da categorização de Jakobson (1959), passa pela proposta de Tradução de Lefevere (1992), ancora-se nas Teorias da adaptação de Hutcheon (2013), baseia-se na perspectiva entre literatura e cinema desenvolvida por Diniz (2003), considerando as ideias de Cheney (1889), Laire (2019) e Silva (2022).
A sinestesia e o substrato musical em As Flores do Mal de Charles Baudelaire
Authors: Hippertt Rebeca Torrezani Martins
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o substrato musical e sinestésico do texto de um conjunto de poemas presentes na obra As Flores do Mal de Charles Baudelaire, partindo do exame da tradução realizada por Ivan Junqueira: Harmonia da tarde, Correspondências, O sino rachado e L’Héautontimorouménos. Demonstram-se as correspondências de conceitos como ritmo, rima, harmonia, timbre e dissonância no domínio imagético do texto, em direção a uma visualidade que é também sinestésica, utilizando-se como referencial teórico: Benjamin (1995), Richards (1971) e Thamos (2003). Esta análise, que usa das dimensões sonoras e imagéticas do texto, lança luz sobre a discussão da presença daquilo a que Benjamin chamou “choque”, fenômeno que se revela como um dos representativos da experiência da modernidade, também atravessando a produção de Charles Baudelaire como princípio poético.
Macbeth à brasileira
Authors: Malta Francisco
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo, analisaremos a adaptação literária da peça teatral Macbeth (1606), de William Shakespeare, para as telas do cinema em uma versão brasileira intitulada A Floresta que se Move (2015). A partir da estrutura do roteiro e dos princípios da teoria da adaptação, vamos explorar como ocorre a transição do texto cênico para o audiovisual. Procuraremos responder à questão dos limites entre a escrita cinematográfica e o registro literário. Para guiar nossa análise do processo adaptativo, utilizaremos as considerações de Henri Mitterand (2014), Robert Stam (2008), Ismail Xavier (2003), e Linda Hutcheon (2011), levando em consideração as adaptações cinematográficas como um processo de transmutação de linguagens.
PENGARUH LAMA WAKTU TAHAN NORMALIZING PADA BAJA ST 41 PENGELASAN FRICTION WELDING TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIS
Authors: Rivkih Amanulloh  , Warso
Published: August 2024

The development and application of science and technology, especially in the industrial world, is currently experiencing very rapid progress, especially in the world of welding. Welding is the process of joining two or more metal parts using heat energy. In the current era, welding developments are increasingly developing, such as liquid welding, resistance welding, solid welding, and forging welding. For solid welding, there are friction welding and cold welding. The joining process using friction welding involves friction factors, pressing force, and surface quality. To improve the mechanical properties of steel after welding, Normalizing heat treatment is carried out, namely a heat treatment process on steel which aims to refine the grain, homogenize the structure and obtain steel with mechanical properties as desired, or called normalization. This research method uses the Experimental Testing method. This sample was obtained from the normalizing friction welding process which was tensile tested, namely samples with varying holding times of 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes with an engine speed of 2100 rpm and a pressure of 35 MPa with tensile testing of the material and microphotographs. The results of the friction welding research are as follows. The normalizing holding time of 15 minutes produces a maximum tensile stress value of 325.16 N/mm2, the fracture that occurs is in the form of a ductile fracture, the normalizing holding time of 30 minutes produces a maximum tensile stress value of 327.66 N/mm2, the fracture that occurs is in the form of a fracture ductile, the normalizing holding time of 45 minutes produces a maximum tensile stress value of 329.53 N/mm2, the fracture that occurs is in the form of a ductile fracture. The long holding time of normalizing will increase the tensile strength of the steel and tensile test fractures mostly occur in the weld area

La diabetes mellitus (DM) es la primera causa de amputación no traumática en los países desarrollados. Un 34 % de pacientes con DM tipo 1 (DM1) o 2 (DM2) tendrán una úlcera a lo largo de su vida que, si no se trata adecuadamente, puede progresar a infección, amputación e incluso la muerte, con un enorme impacto en la calidad de vida y en el gasto del sistema sanitario. Por otro lado, muchas lesiones y amputaciones son evitables con una correcta prevención y tratamiento. Por todo ello hemos creado este algoritmo de prevención y tratamiento de la patología del pie en las personas con DM, que esperamos que pueda ser de utilidad en la práctica clínica diaria. Hemos intentado sintetizar la evidencia disponible, así como los diferentes consensos, con un enfoque práctico en el habitual formato “rosco” de la redGDPS.
Ojo a cómo se puede manifestar la diabetes mellitus

Published: August 2024

Abordamos en este artículo, a través de un caso clínico real, una tríada que frecuentemente está asociada. Se trata del glaucoma neovascular (NV), la oclusión de la vena central de la retina (OVCR) y la diabetes mellitus (DM). Así, el glaucoma NV es una forma secundaria de glaucoma de ángulo abierto que surge como consecuencia de la formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos en el iris. Estos vasos anómalos obstruyen el drenaje del humor acuoso, lo que conduce a un aumento de la presión intraocular (PIO). Las causas principales de glaucoma NV incluyen la DM y la OVCR. Por otro lado, la OVCR es una condición en la cual una vena en la retina se bloquea, interrumpiendo el flujo sanguíneo de retorno. Esto provoca un aumento en la tortuosidad de las venas retinianas y puede resultar en hemorragias intrarretinianas, así como en edema macular. Las causas comunes de OVCR incluyen la hipertensión arterial (HTA), la aterosclerosis y el glaucoma NV. Para concluir la tríada, hay que destacar que la retinopatía diabética (RD), complicación ocular más frecuente de la DM y una de las principales causas de pérdida de visión en personas con esta patología metabólica, se caracteriza por cambios en el sistema vascular de la retina. En etapas avanzadas, la RD puede progresar a una forma proliferativa, que implica la formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos anómalos.

Autonomia artificial
Authors: Jesus Cristian Arão Silva de
Published: August 2024

A tecnologia de aprendizado de máquina fez com que as inteligências artificiais aprendessem, de certa forma, por conta própria. Isso fez com que surgisse preocupação e encantamento por uma suposta autonomia dos sistemas automatizados. No entanto, em que pesem os processos de automação, isso não faz com que as máquinas sejam realmente autônomas, ainda que pareçam. Essa aparência de autonomia é sustentada por muito trabalho humano escondido. Por trás do véu tecnológico o que existe é um exército de trabalhadores que sustentam o bom funcionamento dos algoritmos. Esse fenômeno não é uma novidade nem um ponto fora da curva no desenvolvimento tecnológico. Marx, n’O Capital, já havia explicado o processo que transforma os trabalhadores em peças da engrenagem e a maquinaria da indústria em sujeito. Marcuse, dando continuidade a essa ideia, argumenta que disso surgiu uma racionalidade tecnológica que submete os seres humanos à lógica das máquinas. Pretende-se com esse artigo apresentar as análises desses filósofos sobre essa relação humano-máquina e oferecer uma perspectiva para superar essa inversão que coloca as pessoas à serviço da tecnologia.

Evaluation of phenolic compounds as cross-linkers to improve the qualities of halal gelatin from milkfish scales (Chanos chanos)
Authors: Hamzah Nursalam , Ibrahim Slamet , Tjahjono Daryono H.
Published: August 2024

Gelatin is a versatile substance extensively used in medical and pharmaceutical industries for many applications, including capsule shells, X-ray film, infusion for plasma substitute, and the fabricating of artificial tissue. Fish scale gelatin is a profitable alternative source as a halal material despite its inferior quality. An addition of phenolic cross-linker may enhance the qualities of fish scale gelatin. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of phenolics to act as cross-linkers for fish scale gelatin and to identify the factors affecting this process. Gelatin production from fish scales (Chanos chanos) was carried out through basic pre-extraction and acidic pre-extraction. Thereafter, the gelatin was reacted with 10 different phenolics (phenol, pyrocatechol, resorcinol, α-naphthol, vanillin, L-tyrosine, curcumin, gallic acid, quercetin, and tannic acid). The resultant gelatins were characterized by infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction pattern, swelling index, degree of cross-linking, viscosity, gel strength, mechanical profile, thermal profile, and water vapor permeability. Gelatin with the most favorable characteristics was further investigated for the effects of acidity (pH 4, 7, and 10) and cross-linker concentrations (2.5–10%). The findings revealed the formation of cross-linkage through shifted vibrational peaks of amide A, amide B, and amide II in the infrared spectrum. Shifted X-ray diffraction peaks in the gelatin with phenol addition also indicated the formation of cross-linkage. Significant improvement in the gelatin characteristics, such as swelling index, degree of cross-linking, viscosity, gel strength, mechanical profile, thermal profile, and water vapor permeability, could be attributed to the addition of phenolics cross-linkers. The highest improvement was observed in gelatin added with basic tannic acid 10%. Gelatin cross-linked with basic tannic acid 10% had a moisture content of 9.24±0.14%, swelling index of 323±17%, degree of cross-linking of 69.99±0.84%, viscosity of 8.48±0.23 cP, gel strength of 151.5±6.9 Bloom, melting temperature of 213.5°C, tensile strength of 7.00±0.54 N.cm-2, elongation at the break of 114.08±14.63%, elastic modulus of 58.45±8.20 N.cm-2 and water vapor permeability of 0.57±0.07 g.mm.m-2.h-1. kPa-1. The qualities of tannic acid-cross-linked gelatin films and film-forming gel increased when manufactured under basic conditions in comparison to acidic or neutral conditions. Furthermore, increasing the quantity of tannic acid to 10% improved the overall characteristics as compared to non-cross-linked gelatin. In conclusion, tannic acid has the ability to cross-link the fish gelatin, thereby enhancing its qualities.

Purpose - Animal models offer a useful way to study the reproductive and metabolic abnormalities, including PCOS. MSCs have received increasing attention as a potential cell-based therapy and regenerative medicine, due to their effects in modulation of different molecular and biological pathways. The aims of the present work were to investigate modulation of the ovarian microenvironment by AdMSCs in an animal model induced to PCOS. Methods - Female rats were divided into control, polycystic ovary, and mesenchymal stem cell groups, evaluated at two different times after PCOS induction and injection of AdMSCs. Results - The polycystic ovary group showed changes in ovarian cycles, the presence of cysts in the ovaries, and hyperandrogenemia. In addition, changes in plasma insulin, glucose, leptin, and osteocalcin were observed in the polycystic ovary group. These metabolic changes were modulated by the injection of AdMSCs into the ovary. Data are presented for female rats in an animal model integrating PCOS with AdMSCs, together with the relationships among ovaries, bones, and adipocytes. Conclusion - The results suggested the existence of endocrine-metabolic-reproductive microenvironment relationships modulated by AdMSCs, which should help in guiding further investigations to clarify pathophysiological mechanisms that have not yet been fully elucidated.

Factors that encourage and hinder Islamic Religious Counselors in carrying out their duties and functions. Assessing the implementation of the duties of Islamic Religious Counselors in the community. This research with a gradual approach was carried out using interview data collection methods, FGDs, and documentation studies. Field data collection was carried out from April to May 2023 in Simpang Ulim District, East Aceh Regency. The research results show that Islamic Religious Counselors understand the contents of Decree Numbers 574 and 178 of 1999, but have not consistently implemented them in their duties. The Indonesian Ministry of Religion's empowerment of extension workers is still very limited so that its human resources are very limited and not very ready when dealing with a more dynamic society. So far, the number of Islamic religious instructors has not been comparable to the population in Simpang Ulim District, East Aceh Regency. Monitoring from the central Ministry of Religion to extension workers and the target community is not carried out so the results cannot be known in the community. Then, the facilities and infrastructure prepared by the government are very limited, thus hampering the performance of extension workers in the field.

Published: August 2024

Eye disease is a common global health problem that affects both young and old people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the utilisation of eye care services globally was 18% in 2014, while in Nigeria; the rate of utilisation was reported to be below 25% as against the set target of 90%. This study therefore was aimed at assessing the perceived eye health-seeking behaviour of the residents of Ido Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative cross-sectional method among 289 residents of three communities in the Ido Local Government area, Ibadan. A self-administered validated questionnaire was used for data collection. Analysis of data was done using descriptive statistics (frequency, means and standard deviation) and inferential statistics; chi-square test and correlation coefficient which was fixed at p<0.5 level of significance. The result revealed that less than half of the respondents 135 (46.7%) had eye screening in the past, 156 (54%) had eye problems in the past 82(52.6 %) visited hospitals to solve their eye problems and others were involved in self - medication, patronised traditional healers and use over the counter drugs. The chi-square test showed a statistically significant relationship between the age of the participants and their engagement in the eye screening test. In conclusion, less than half of the respondents had eye screening in the past, while a large proportion of those who had eye problems visited non-medical facilities to seek eye care services. This indicates inappropriate eye health-seeking behaviour of the majority of the respondents. In addition, their perceived health-seeking behaviour was influenced by their age. This study recommends that more public health education needs to be done to educate the community on appropriate personal eye care to ensure positive eye health-seeking behaviour.

Published: August 2024

The hotel accommodation service industry in Medan City has witnessed significant growth following the pandemic, driven by increased business and tourism activities. With over 200 hotels in the city, there is a notable presence of middle-class hotels offering affordable prices. This study aims to determine consumer preferences in choosing low-budget accommodation services using Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) analysis. The CBC method presents consumers with a series of menus featuring different hotel attributes, such as location, facilities, and price, to identify which attributes most influence their preferences. A sample of 40 respondents was analyzed to identify key factors influencing their hotel choices. The results revealed that consumers prioritize hotels located outside the central city area, with free internet service, basic room amenities, availability of a café or lounge, breakfast services, and non-smoking rooms. The study found that breakfast service is the most important attribute, followed by the availability of non-smoking rooms. These insights can help low budget hotel or managers in Medan City to modify their services to better meet consumer demands and improve market positioning.

Results: In the study group, we evaluated 175 pregnant women who attended prenatal education, while the control group consisted of 175 pregnant women who did not attend prenatal education. The rate of nulliparous patients was 74.9% (n = 131) in the study group and 56.6% (n = 99) in the control group (p < 0.001). The rate of oxytocin augmentation was 28.6% (n = 50) in the study group and 46.9% (n = 82) in the control group (p < 0.001). The episiotomy rate was lower in the study group (41.7% (n = 73)) compared to the control group (54.9% (n = 96), p = 0.014), and the cesarean section rate was also lower in the study group compared to the control group (p = 0.024).
Conclusion: Pregnant women who regularly attend pregnancy school in the early weeks experience a significant reduction in the need for episiotomies, oxytocin supplements, and cesarean section rates. These positive outcomes are attributed to the benefits of pelvic floor exercises. Therefore, we recommend encouraging all pregnant women to participate in pregnancy school training in the early weeks to support natural birthing processes.

Entre la militancia y el trabajo. Imbricaciones y tensiones de estas prácticas en la gestión colectiva de un centro cultural autogestionado en La Plata
Authors: Zarauza Delfina , Del Marmol Mariana
Published: August 2024

El artículo indaga las tensiones entre militancia y trabajo en un centro cultural autogestionado en La Plata. Se desprende de un estudio etnográfico realizado como parte de la tesis de maestría de una de las autoras en diálogo con bibliografía sobre espacios culturales autogestionados y estudios sobre militancias, usos sociales del dinero y trabajo artístico. Nuestra intención ha sido analizar la coexistencia de dos modos de definir los espacios culturales autogestionados: como espacios de militancia cultural sin fines de lucro, donde primará un desinterés por lo económico y una motivación ligada a democratizar el acceso al arte y la cultura; y su concepción como ámbitos de trabajo que contribuirían a la subsistencia de quienes los impulsan y sostienen. Pudimos observar un complejo sistema de aportes, inversiones y ganancias que estructuran las relaciones en el espacio analizado. Esto nos llevó a a poner en cuestión las ideas de lucro y desinterés que persisten en el imaginario acerca de estos espacios y a visibilizar las condiciones desiguales de sus integrantes para encuadrar su participación en términos de trabajo o de militancia, dando cuenta no sólo de las tensiones sino también de las imbricaciones entre estos modos de participación.
Geografías del vacío y método dialéctico para los estudios territoriales rurales del Sur Global
Authors: Sandoval-Nazal Daniel , Alvarado Peterson Voltaire
Published: August 2024

Se propone el método dialéctico como posicionamiento epistemológico y enfoque teórico para la investigación de la totalidad territorial rural situada, destacando su carácter crítico y abordaje histórico, multilineal y transitorio. Se inicia en la relación metabólica humano–naturaleza como síntesis de la totalidad natural y su posterior fractura en los márgenes capitalistas por la forma adoptada del trabajo. Luego, se explora la teoría marxista de la dependencia por su valor transformador, proporciona herramientas teóricas para entender los territorios rurales desde las clases sociales, contradicciones y la economía dependiente chilena. Se entienden los territorios rurales como resultado de acciones interactuantes entre sistemas productivos, sus técnicas y naturaleza, siendo la columna vertebral del manuscrito. Se constituyen territorialidades múltiples, usos desde el habitar y el trabajo, apropiaciones bajo distintos regímenes de tenencia por parte de sistemas productivos en tensión que buscan hacerse del acceso, control y transformación de la tierra y el territorio. La propuesta de abordaje de territorios rurales desde la dialéctica es incipiente y rica en posibilidades, por lo que se proponen desafíos para la investigación, además de tareas futuras.

Authors: Polanco Gaytán Mayrén , Aquino Santos Raúl
Published: August 2024

Las ciudades modernas enfrentan desafíos como escasez de recursos, contaminación, congestión, cambio climático, envejecimiento poblacional, migración y problemas de salud, exacerbados por la pandemia de la COVID-19. Para abordar estos problemas, las ciudades están adoptando soluciones inteligentes e innovadoras, evolucionando hacia el concepto de "ciudad inteligente" desde finales de la década de 1990. Las ciudades inteligentes integran tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) para gestionar recursos como energía y transporte, mejorar la calidad de vida y fomentar la sostenibilidad. Definiciones de "ciudad inteligente" varían, destacando la innovación tecnológica, la colaboración de actores y la capacidad de atraer capital humano.
El desarrollo de ciudades inteligentes se alinea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030, buscando crear entornos inclusivos, seguros y resilientes. Este concepto se ve impulsado por la Cuarta Revolución Industrial y la rápida urbanización global. En Asia, donde el crecimiento urbano es notable, la adopción de tecnologías inteligentes es crucial para mejorar la calidad de vida, optimizar recursos y promover la sostenibilidad. Sin embargo, la región enfrenta desafíos como la infraestructura existente, la brecha digital y la gobernanza urbana.
El estudio de ciudades inteligentes en Hong Kong, Seúl y Singapur destaca su infraestructura tecnológica avanzada y colaboración público-privada. Aunque comparten similitudes, estas ciudades varían en tamaño, densidad, enfoque sectorial, cultura e innovación. La investigación documental comparativa busca contextualizar el desarrollo de estas ciudades en el marco de la Industria 4.0 y la Agenda 2030, proponiendo un modelo de gestión de la innovación para el desarrollo sostenible y la eficiencia operativa en ciudades inteligentes.

From the feast of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo on January 9, the Santo Niño of Cebu (Sinulog) on the third Sunday of January, to the crucifixion ceremony during Holy Week, to the closing of the year with the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico on December 12, the whole country moves to places of worship to reverence important Catholic devotions.
