A Non-EU Rule of Law Commission
Authors: Barrett Henry
Published: April 2024

In March, the European Parliament decided to sue the European Commission over a quid pro quo exchange of European Union funds with Hungary for support of Ukraine EU accession. This lawsuit marks a striking culmination of a years-long failure on the part of the Commission to protect the rule of law. Given frustrating delays from Brussels, this blog post proposes a non-EU accountability mechanism—a so-called Rule of Law Commission—to bolster and reinforce commitments to rule of law issues among European states.

Background: Germline genetic testing is a vital component of guideline-recommended cancer care for males with pancreatic, breast, or metastatic prostate cancers. We sought to determine whether there were racial disparities in germline genetic testing completion in this population. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included non-Hispanic White and Black males with incident pancreatic, breast, or metastatic prostate cancers between January 1, 2019, and September 30, 2021. Two nationwide cohorts were examined: (1) commercially insured individuals in an administrative claims database, and (2) Veterans receiving care in the Veterans Health Administration. One-year germline genetic testing rates were estimated by using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to test the association between race and genetic testing completion. Causal mediation analyses were performed to investigate whether socioeconomic variables contributed to associations between race and germline testing. Results: Our cohort consisted of 7,894 males (5,142 commercially insured; 2,752 Veterans). One-year testing rates were 18.0% (95% CI, 16.8%–19.2%) in commercially insured individuals and 14.2% (95% CI, 11.5%–15.0%) in Veterans. Black race was associated with a lower hazard of testing among commercially insured individuals (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.73; 95% CI, 0.58–0.91; P=.005) but not among Veterans (aHR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.75–1.32; P=.960). In commercially insured individuals, income (aHR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.86–0.96) and net worth (aHR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.86–0.98) mediated racial disparities, whereas education (aHR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.94–1.01) did not. Conclusions: Overall rates of guideline-recommended genetic testing are low in males with pancreatic, breast, or metastatic prostate cancers. Racial disparities in genetic testing among males exist in a commercially insured population, mediated by net worth and household income; these disparities are not seen in the equal-access Veterans Health Administration. Alleviating financial and access barriers may mitigate racial disparities in genetic testing.

Published: April 2024

Emotional disorders (EDs) are the most common disorders among the young population. The development of preventive programs for EDs is essential to avoid their possible appearance. Transdiagnostic prevention programs could present an advantage over existing ones to improve emotional regulation strategies. Thus, the objective of this study has been to determine the preliminary feasibility and effectiveness of a brief program based on the Unified Protocol (UP). The project consisted of a pilot study using a multiple baseline experimental design. Nine university students received a 5-session program based on the UP in online-group format. Significant differences were found after the intervention for emotion regulation, perceived social support and avoidance, with moderate-large effect sizes (Cohen's r = .49 - .59). These improvements showed increases at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups. Those results are in line with those showing that brief transdiagnostic preventive programs could be useful for the prevention of EDs in the university population.

Los trastornos emocionales (TEs) son los trastornos más comunes entre la población joven. El desarrollo de programas preventivos de los TEs es fundamental para evitar su posible aparición. Los programas de prevención transdiagnósticos podrían presentar una ventaja sobre los existentes para mejorar las estrategias de regulación emocional. Así, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido determinar la viabilidad y eficacia preliminar de un programa breve basado en el Protocolo Unificado (PU). El proyecto consistió en un estudio piloto utilizando un diseño experimental de línea base múltiple. Nueve estudiantes universitarios recibieron un programa de 5 sesiones basado en el PU en formato grupal online. Se encontraron diferencias significativas después de la intervención en la regulación de las emociones, el apoyo social percibido y la evitación, con tamaños del efecto moderados-grandes (r de Cohen = .49 - .59). Estas mejoras mostraron aumentos en los seguimientos al mes y a los 3 meses. Esos resultados están en línea con los que muestran que los programas preventivos transdiagnósticos breves podrían ser útiles para la prevención de los TEs en población universitaria.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to examine the predictability of satisfaction with life on the basis of subjective happiness, positive and negative affect, psychological disturbance and emotion of gratitude. It also seeks to assess whether the emotion of gratitude is a mediating variable with subjective happiness, affect, and satisfaction with life. Statistical analyses of Pearson's correlation, multiple linear regression tests, and mediation models were conducted on a sample of 1537 Spanish adults, 73.6% were females, 26.4% males, age between 18-88 years old (M = 42.56; SD = 16.29). The emotions of gratitude were found to mediate the relationship between subjective happiness and satisfaction with life and between positive affect and satisfaction with life. Of the variables studied, positive affect is the most related to satisfaction with life, followed by subjective happiness and emotions of gratitude. Male participants are more satisfied with life when they feel the less negative affect. Regarding mediation models, emotions of gratitude mediate the relationship between subjective happiness and satisfaction with life and between positive affect and satisfaction with life. The main difference is that emotions of gratitude are stronger in females than in males.

El presente estudio investigó si la satisfacción con la vida se predice a partir de la felicidad subjetiva, afectos positivos y negativos, alteración psicológica y emociones de gratitud y si la emoción de gratitud está mediando la relación con la felicidad subjetiva, los afectos y la satisfacción con la vida. Se hicieron correlación de Pearson, pruebas de regresión lineal múltiple y modelos de mediación en una muestra de 1537 adultos españoles, 73.6% mujeres y 26.4% hombres, edad 18-88 años (M = 42.56 años; DT = 16.29). Se halló que las emociones de gratitud median la relación entre felicidad subjetiva y satisfacción con la vida y entre los afectos positivos y la satisfacción con la vida. Los afectos positivos son los que más se relacionan con la satisfacción con la vida, seguidos por la felicidad subjetiva y las emociones de gratitud. Los hombres están más satisfechos con la vida cuando sienten menos afecto negativo. Además, las emociones de gratitud median la relación entre felicidad subjetiva y satisfacción con la vida y entre los afectos positivos y la satisfacción con la vida. La diferencia principal radica en que las emociones de gratitud son más fuertes en las mujeres que en los hombres.

Published: April 2024

This study's objective was to assess and examine the impacts of tax penalties, taxpayer awareness, and taxation comprehension on the tax compliance of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Cirebon City, with risk preference moderating variables. The method used in this research is quantitative, and the type of data used is primary data obtained from 250 respondents. This study shows that tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, increasing taxpayer compliance, and understanding of taxation affect taxpayer compliance. Risk preferences do not strengthen the relationship between taxpayer awareness and taxpayer compliance, and risk preferences do not moderate the knowledge of taxation with taxpayer compliance. The Directorate General of Taxes can use this study to encourage a stronger tax approach and understanding of taxation, especially for Cirebon City micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).
Thriving or Surviving: Motivation, Satisfaction, and Existential Sustainability in the Translation Profession
Authors: Lambert Joseph , Walker Callum
Published: April 2024

Despite the health of the language industry in general, the translation profession(al) faces a range of sustainability challenges. Against a backdrop of key disruptors that are transforming workflows and working conditions, and ongoing concerns over status, pay, and wellbeing, industry reports flag an intensifying “talent crunch”, making it increasingly difficult to retain vital human capital. And yet, despite a range of rather bleak industry and academic data, many translators are still happy. In this paper, we use Maslow’s influential theory of motivation to draw together key concerns and to analyse this motivation-satisfaction paradox. We identify worrying deficits in all and even the most basic needs, and contend that translators’ self-actualisation – in this case, their sense of fulfilment through translation itself – acts as a ‘pull’ factor that can compensate for these unfulfilled needs, to a degree. Ultimately, however, these deficits are clearly taking an increasing toll and, in the interests of long-term professional conservation, we must focus further on the lived experience of the individual translator to build towards a thriving professional environment.
Introducing Interreal Translations
Authors: Thibault Mattia
Published: April 2024

This paper introduces the concept of "interreal translations," a novel area of inquiry situated at the intersection of evolving trends in Translation Studies. Interreal translations involve the translation of objects, spaces, and subjects across media-generated virtual spaces, including virtual and augmented realities. Grounded in intersemiotic translation, the paper proposes a typology of interreal translations, categorizing them as vertical (between the primary reality and alternative realities) and horizontal (between different alternative realities). These translations play a significant role in our diverse mediascape and require a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from fields such as Human Computer Interaction, Games Research, Semiotics, Anthropology, and Translation Studies. This exploration of interreal translations offers a promising avenue for future research, reflecting the dynamic evolution of the discipline and the growing importance of digital and virtual contexts.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several organizations in Finland produced multilingual information targeted at the migrant populations. To assess these translation policies and practices, we conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with persons involved in the purchasing, producing, editing, and dissemination of translated information targeted at migrants in 11 organizations including, for example, three municipalities of the greater Helsinki region, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, and three NGOs.
One of the issues raised by several interviewees was the poor quality of translations, and many interviewees also gave alleged reasons for it. In this paper, we analyze the interviewees’ comments on translation quality (and why it matters) as reflecting their understanding of translations and translating. To capture the many facets of this understanding, we propose the notion of translation awareness – a parallel to language awareness – and discuss how this awareness (or the lack thereof) influenced the translation practices in organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: April 2024

Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão é reunir e analisar os estudos mais recentes sobre as diversas formas de atuação do dienogeste (DNG) na endometriose. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura que utilizou artigos de 2018 a 2023, sem restrição de idioma, consultados nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde. Foram utilizados os descritores “endometriosis” e “dienogest”, combinados através do operador boleano AND nas plataformas escolhidas. Foram captados 20 artigos inicialmente, sendo selecionados 13 estudos clínicos primários para compor a coleção final da revisão. Resultados e discussão: Com relação ao uso do DNG na endometriose, houve melhora nos sintomas clínicos referidos, na qualidade de vida, no aspecto social, físico e emocional, além de diminuição progressiva dos sangramentos e spottings referidos em alguns estudos, sendo observada redução dos episódios com o tratamento continuado. Ademais, esse progestagênio esteve associado a poucos efeitos colaterais e foi bem eficaz na redução de dor pélvica e dispareunia em mulheres com endometriose grave. As reações adversas mais comuns com o DNG incluíram aumento de peso, cefaleia, desconforto mamário, acne, náusea e sangramento uterino anormal (SUA), sendo esta a reação mais frequente. Com relação à terapia de reprodução assistida, não houve inferioridade em termos de resposta ovariana, resultados de gravidez e qualidade de vida na supressão da endometriose antes da estimulação ovariana com DNG em comparação ao agonista do hormônio liberador de gonadotrofina (GnRHa). Conclusão: O DNG tem sido uma opção válida, segura e bem tolerada no manejo da endometriose. No entanto, estudos mais específicos são necessários para que conclusões mais fidedignas sejam feitas acerca da atuação do DNG no manejo das diversas condições fisiopatológicas que compõem a endometriose.

As inundações são responsáveis por afetar o maior número de pessoas entre os diferentes tipos de desastres naturais, resultando em um grande número de desabrigados anualmente. Vários fatores contribuem para o surgimento das inundações, como a degradação das nascentes e matas ciliares, assoreamento dos rios, urbanização excessiva, falta de drenagem adequada e ocorrência de chuvas intensas. Diversas metodologias são utilizadas para analisar riscos, perigos e vulnerabilidades. O mapeamento temático, que utiliza indicadores sociais e ambientais, permite visualizar áreas de alta vulnerabilidade social. Os índices morfométricos classificam o uso dos solos de uma bacia hidrográfica e auxiliam na análise dos riscos de desastres ambientais. O uso de cenários temporais, combinando elementos geográficos, sociais e ambientais ao longo do tempo, também é aplicado na análise de riscos de desastres por inundações. A utilização de VANTs permite o levantamento de áreas de riscos com rapidez e precisão e por fim, o uso da metodologia BIM para a visualização da mancha de inundação em ambiente 3D altamente realista, contribui para a tomada de decisões mais assertivas.

O aumento substancial na expectativa de vida tem, de maneira concomitante, gerado uma propensão maior a condições de saúde relacionadas à idade, sendo o Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) uma das principais manifestações desse fenômeno. Levando em conta a alta morbimortalidade do AVE, em especial na população idosa, é imprescindível que o tratamento correto seja instituído de maneira rápida e eficaz, a fim de retardar o dano causado a longo prazo. Portanto, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os desafios presentes no tratamento de idosos vítimas de AVE. O artigo em questão se trata de uma revisão bibliográfica concebida em torno da seguinte questão: “Quais os desafios contemplados no tratamento do AVE em pacientes idosos?”. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca em fontes de dados relevantes, tais como PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scopus e Medline, sendo observados os trabalhos publicados nos últimos 5 anos, a fim de obter dados atualizados. Sendo o AVEi o tipo mais prevalente, a ponderação cuidadosa dos riscos e benefícios do tratamento trombolítico em idosos torna-se crucial, considerando fatores específicos dessa população, como a fragilidade. As terapias endovasculares, embora promissoras, esbarram em limitações de acesso e altos riscos, além da dificuldade em agir dentro da janela terapêutica adequada, tendo em vista que a heterogeneidade das apresentações do AVE em idosos dificulta a identificação rápida da condição. Além disso, é preciso estar atento a complicações do tratamento e do próprio AVE, como pneumonia bronco-aspirativa, complicações hemorrágicas e novos eventos cerebrovasculares, que demandam estratégias de profilaxia secundária. Nesses casos, o manejo nutricional é de grande importância, tendo em vista que a disfagia pós-AVE e deficiências nutricionais comuns em idosos demandam mais cuidados para evitar complicações. Por fim, a idade avançada dos pacientes e a gravidade do quadro vascular levanta questões quanto à necessidade de cuidados paliativos, quando e como implementá-los, o que exige discussões com a família e, quando possível, com o próprio paciente. Mais estudos são necessários para definir estratégias mais seguras e eficazes de prevenção, tratamento e reabilitação de idosos vítimas de AVE.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo tem o objetivo de análisar a ciência das ligações químicas, enfatizando a energia potencial associada ao poço potencial que governa as forças de atração e repulsão entre átomos. A questão central para a investigação é a profundidade do poço potencial, um indicador da força da ligação química, cuja variação influencia diretamente a estabilidade molecular. A metodologia aplicada foi  o levantamento de vários artigos sobre o tema bem como a utilizaçã de simulações numéricas a robustes dessas ligações. Esta abordagem permite um exame minucioso das interações atômicas e moleculares, superando limitações dos métodos experimentais convencionais.As simulações revelam o equilíbrio entre as forças de atração, responsáveis pela formação de ligações, e as forças de repulsão, que limitam a proximidade dos átomos. Esse equilíbrio é crucial para a compreensão da formação e ruptura de ligações químicas. Além disso, as implicações desses achados são discutidas em relação ao desenvolvimento de materiais avançados e catalisadores, destacando o potencial de manipulação da profundidade do poço potencial para inovação em química e engenharia de materiais.Em síntese, o presente estudo ilumina a importância da profundidade do poço potencial nas ligações químicas e exemplifica o valor das simulações numéricas na análise de interações atômicas. Os insights obtidos prometem avanços significativos na química de materiais e na catálise, oferecendo novas perspectivas para o design de materiais com propriedades específicas e catalisadores mais eficientes. Este trabalho não só aprofunda nosso entendimento das forças fundamentais que moldam as interações químicas, mas também abre caminho para futuras inovações na área.

Published: April 2024

A ciência do bem-estar animal está relacionada com o atendimento das necessidades fisiológicas, psicológicas, sociais e ambientais de um animal. Isso é capaz de contribuir com a qualidade dos produtos bovinos, além de atender à exigência do mercado consumidor que busca cada vez mais o consumo de derivados animais provindos do manejo ético, o que justifica o estudo e a difusão da ciência do bem-estar animal. Com o objetivo de compreender como a promoção do bem-estar animal impacta nos rendimentos financeiros do produtor, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica em bases de dados científicos, utilizando-se das palavras-chave: “bem-estar animal”, “bem-estar animal na lucratividade” e “produção de bovinos”. Através desse estudo, pode-se concluir que: a) a promoção do bem-estar animal se apresenta como uma vantagem econômica competitiva capaz de aumentar a lucratividade da produção, já que agrega valor ao produto diferenciando-o dos demais; e b) a adoção de práticas de bem-estar animal por parte dos produtores não é amplamente utilizada devido a sua complexidade, a falta de poder aquisitivo para investir ou a burocracia enfrentada por eles para a aquisição de investimentos fornecidos pelo governo.

Published: April 2024

O desenvolvimento atípico de uma criança portadora de Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) gera quebra de expectativa e mudanças no ritmo de vida da família, em especial de sua principal cuidadora, geralmente a mãe. Esse artigo tem por objetivo avaliar o estado psicossocial das mães de crianças diagnosticadas com TEA. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo de amostra não probabilística com aplicação de questionários a mães de filhos com TEA, acompanhados pela Associação Norte-Mineira de Apoio ao Autista (ANDA) da cidade de Montes Claros (MG). A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, sob Parecer 5.676.08. Analisando os resultados foi possível identificar os fatores estressores e que diminuem a qualidade da saúde mental e qualidade de vida das mães de crianças diagnosticadas com TEA: baixa condição financeira, incapacidades adaptativas dos filhos, restrições de sociabilização e de trabalho dessas mães, cansaço físico, sobrecarga emocional, diminuição da autoestima e limitada rede de apoio. A condição do TEA do filho não foi um fator estressor para as mães entrevistadas, mas, sim, as consequências dos encargos e preocupações em lidar com os estímulos, cuidados e gastos demandados pela criança.
The Need for Standardization of Exhaled Volume in Breath Alcohol Testing
Authors: Olson Aaron
Published: April 2024

Inconsistent exhaled volume requirements across breath alcohol analyzers create a significant hurdle when comparing breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) from various analyzers. Vast differences in exhaled volume requirements among analyzers mean reliable BrAC comparisons cannot be made from one analyzer to another. Forensic scientists and manufacturers of breath alcohol analyzers must consider the ramifications of inconsistent exhaled volume requirements in the legal context for fair and reliable comparisons of BrAC to be made.

Published: April 2024

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, BAU, Mymensingh, during the period from December 2018 to May 2019 to evaluate the effect of the residues of R. maritimus on the yield performance of boro rice. The experiment consisted of two cultivars i.e.; BRRI dhan58 and BRRI dhan74 and four rates of R. maritimus residues treatment such as 0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 t ha-1 and a farmers practice. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Yield and yield contributing characters like number of total tillers hill-1, number of effective tillers hill-1, number of non-effective tillers hill-1, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, straw yield, biological yield and harvest index were significantly affected by the interaction between variety and residues. BRRI dhan74 under R4 treatment condition produced the highest grain (5.42 t ha-1) and straw yield (6.71 t ha-1) followed by the same variety. The lowest grain yield (5.15 t ha-1) and straw yield (6.51 t ha-1) resulted from BRRI dhan58 variety under R1 treatment. The highest grain (5.42 t ha-1) and straw (6.71 t ha-1) yields were observed in R. maritimus residues @ 3.0 t ha-1 treatment. Results of this study indicate that R. maritimus residues showed potentiality to inhibit weed growth and it has a significant effect on the yield of boro rice. Therefore, R. Maritimus residues might be used as an alternative way for weed management in effective and sustainable crop production.

Published: April 2024

The traditional approach to textile quality control, predominantly reliant on manual inspection, is fraught with precision, speed, and reliability challenges. This case study explores the deployment of an Internet of Things (IoT) based system, incorporating sophisticated image processing and machine learning techniques, aimed at automating fabric defect detection in a mid-sized textile manufacturing setting. The study reveals a notable enhancement in the accuracy of defect detection and considerable improvements in inspection speed and operational efficiency. Implementing this IoT system resulted in a marked reduction in manual labor requirements and provided a compelling cost-benefit ratio, underscoring the system's financial viability. Furthermore, the case study details significant operational benefits, such as a 94.25% accuracy in defect detection and a reduction in inspection time from 10.78 to 2.47 minutes per unit. These outcomes affirm the transformative potential of IoT technologies in refining textile quality control processes, advocating for a shift towards more sustainable, quality-focused, and efficient manufacturing paradigms.

Published: April 2024

Con más del 60% de la población metropolitana vulnerable a diversos aspectos de precariedad y de necesidades básicas insatisfechas y ante un inminente cambio del término político administrativo que constituye al Área Metropolitana de San Salvador, se articula una coyuntura estratégica para reflexionar sobre como los procesos de participación social pueden generar una respuesta integral y democrática de la planificación tradicional. Este ensayo pretende generar un análisis de los beneficios y la viabilidad de trabajar en conjunto con la sociedad civil para generar propuestas de planificación urbana más horizontales, así como realizar una revisión a los instrumentos de planificación vigentes y a las coyunturas del mercado inmobiliario para identificar las relaciones y oportunidades que pueden surgir en este contexto.Se presenta además una propuesta de lineamientos base para articular metodologías de ingreso y trabajo con las comunidades, partiendo del principio de potenciar sus habilidades y conocimiento local, así como generar empatía con la población para comprender las raíces del arraigo y apego al lugar; estos lineamientos parten de experiencias previas y casos de éxito en los que la participación ciudadana ha permitido la fundamentación, continuidad y permanencia de proyectos de mejora barrial en asentamientos informales y tejidos urbanos degradados.El escrito termina con recomendaciones al margen de estos procesos que se estiman de gran importancia para viabilizar los procesos de ingreso a los asentamientos y sistematización de información, considerando temas como el financiamiento, la gestión de actores, las políticas públicas y la construcción de escenarios atractivos para los desarrolladores inmobiliarios.
Ciudad y Música: cómo la Escena Musical influye en la Ciudad
Authors: Soto-Parra José Miguel
Published: April 2024

La música se manifiesta de una manera más tangible en la ciudad a través de la escena musical que se presenta en los barrios; en donde se ha asentado un distrito de arte, es decir, en donde una escena musical se ha formado y consolidado a través del tiempo y de distintos fenómenos sociales y urbanos, es de esta forma que el proceso dialéctico entre la música y la ciudad va condicionando una dimensión física en los barrios donde se presenta este proceso, y a su vez esta dinámica socio-espacial influye también en la escena musical.A través de este ensayo introducimos algunas de las variables que definen lo que es una escena musical y como es que esta se presenta en la ciudad a través de los distritos de arte, del mismo modo exponemos el caso de Greenwich Village el cual es uno de los principales distritos de arte de Nueva York, en donde se ha consolidado una escena musical; del jazz concretamente, para después describir de qué manera esta escena musical ha influido en este barrio, para posteriormente llegar a una conclusión sobre la relación que hay entre la música y la ciudad a través de las escenas musicales en los distritos de arte.
Estrategia de desarrollo rural para transformar un pueblo forestal en uno ecoturístico. La experiencia de señalización de caminos en San José de Cusmapa, Nicaragua

Published: April 2024

San José de Cusmapa, en el norte de Nicaragua, es uno de los municipios más pobres del país. Con una altitud de 1280 msnm y una extensión territorial de 129.92 km2. Según INTUR (2023) en el mapa de Turismos de Nicaragua este municipio cuenta con una población de 7,983 habitantes, dividido en urbana: 1,862 y rural: 6,121. Ubicado entre reservas naturales presenta un enorme potencial para desarrollar el ecoturismo como remedio a la imperante pobreza local. Este artículo presenta la metodología empleada para señalizar los caminos y mapificarlos (en carteles y online) como componente básico para articular cualquier propuesta o plan ecoturístico. El objetivo de este trabajo es plantear esta metodología para cualquier proyecto de articulación de ecoturismo basada en senderismo de manera sencilla, económica, completa, participada y replicable. Los autores concluyen que con esta metodología, unida a las dos plataformas de internet, LandsCare creada a fin de facilitar la conversión de pueblos de montaña pobres en territorios ecoturísticos y Google Earth, es muy factible y barato transformar un pueblo forestal en uno ecoturístico.

Vasopressors are powerful vasoconstrictors used in critically ill patients to raise blood pressure after volume resuscitation attempts fail. These medications, while lifesaving, carry the risk of severe and under-reported side effects, digital ischemia, and gangrene due to decreased digital perfusion. We here present a case of vasopressin-induced digital gangrene in a female patient who underwent elective surgery for nephrolithiasis without any pre-existing peripheral vascular disease or smoking. The patient developed bilateral upper and lower limb symmetrical acronecrosis. The causality assessment as per the World Health Organisation – Uppsala Monitoring Centre scale was suggestive of a “Possible adverse” event. The patient denied surgical intervention, eventually developed multiorgan failure, and died of cardiopulmonary arrest. Although lifesaving, vasopressors due to alpha constricting activity can cause severe limb ischemia with dreadful consequences. These drugs should be used judiciously with careful monitoring and tapering as soon as possible when the condition improves. The consequences could be dreadful if timely surgical intervention and measures are not taken.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, production and manufacturing processes and systems have become more complex. Obtaining the best performance from them requires efficient and effective optimisation techniques that do not depend on the availability of process or system models. Such models are usually either not obtainable or mathematically intractable due to the high degrees of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the processes and systems to be represented. The Bees Algorithm is a powerful swarm-based intelligent optimisation metaheuristic inspired by the foraging behaviour of honeybees. The algorithm is conceptually elegant and extremely easy to apply. It has attracted users from virtually all fields of engineering and natural, physical, medical and social sciences. This article reviews the original Bees Algorithm and some of its recent enhancements and gives examples of its applications to optimisation problems in production and manufacturing. The aim is to demonstrate the simplicity, effectiveness and versatility of the algorithm and encourage its further adoption by engineers and researchers across the world to realise smart and sustainable manufacturing and production in the age of Industry 4.0 and beyond.
Cumaná y Bartolomé de las Casas: el aristotelismo en el Nuevo Mundo
Authors: Ambrosi De la Cadena Marco
Published: April 2024

Resumen El artículo revisa el proyecto de Cumaná elaborado por Bartolomé de las Casas en 1518 para la evangelización pacífica de los habitantes de la región de Paria. El objetivo es evidenciar la aplicación conveniente del aristotelismo en dicha propuesta para conciliar la conversión cristiana de los indios con la legitimación del rey en tierra firme. Para este fin, se repasa el contexto histórico de la propuesta de Cumaná y la disputa entre Juan de Quevedo y Las Casas en 1519, previo a su aprobación, como una de las primeras ocasiones en que se recurre al Estagirita para tratar la situación del Nuevo Mundo. Igualmente, se sugiere la interpretación del proyecto lascasiano considerando la teoría política de Aristóteles en aspectos como: definición de la conversión como fin político, relación del indio con el español, condición política del indio, la posible república indiana y la potencialidad pasiva del indio. En conclusión, Cumaná representa un desafío al marco teórico-político de la época, al emplear la prédica pacífica como estrategia para legitimar el dominio español entre los indios y como alternativa a la conquista violenta.   Abstract The paper revises the evangelization project of Cumaná made by Bartolomé de las Casas in 1518 for the peoples of the Paria region, it aims at highlighting his convenient application of Aristotelianism to harmonise the Christian conversion of Indians with the King legitimisation in tierra firme. The historical context of the Cumaná initiative and the dispute for its approval between Juan de Quevedo and Las Casas in 1519 are reviewed regarding the use of Aristotelian concepts probably for the first in a formal discussion about the New World. Also, the article suggests interpreting the Lascasian project from the political theory of Aristotle in several aspects such as conversion as a political end, relationship among Spaniards and Indians, political condition of Indians, a possible Indian republic, and the Indian passive potentiality. In conclusion, Cumaná challenges the theoretical-political framework of its time, by employing pacific preaching as a strategy to legitimise the Spanish dominion among the indios, and as an alternative to violent conquest.
