Authors: Araujo-Reyes Ana Teresa , Ascencio-Lancheros José Luis , Londoño-Álvarez Ana
Published: September 2023

Introducción: la primera causa de muerte por cáncer son las metástasis. La supervivencia media, para pacientes no tratados, es máximo de tres meses, que pueden extenderse de seis a doce con radioterapia y quimioterapia, dependiendo del tumor. La radiocirugía estereotáctica dirige la radiación ionizante a una metástasis guiada por tomografía computarizada o resonancia magnética, reduciendo así la radiación en el tejido normal y los efectos adversos. Su principal objetivo es lograr el control tumoral en los pacientes con oligometástasis.
Métodos: estudio observacional, retrospectivo, con fuente mixta; se describen los resultados del tratamiento con CyberKnife® en metástasis cerebrales.
Resultados: se evaluaron 31 pacientes con 62 metástasis, la edad media fue de 54 años y 74,2 % fueron mujeres. El cáncer de pulmón fue el origen más frecuente (54,8 %), La mitad de los casos tenía más de dos metástasis. La ubicación más común fue en los lóbulos frontales (33,9 %), siendo necróticas el 48,4 % de las lesiones. Hubo tratamiento previo en el 69,4 % de los tumores. Hubo radionecrosis en el 19,4 % de las lesiones, edema vasogénico en 77,4 % de ellas y recaída en 59,7 %. Se redujo el tamaño del tumor en el 80,7 % de las lesiones y se alcanzó el control tumoral en el 83,9 % de estas.
Conclusión: el tratamiento con CyberKnife® logró el control en, por lo menos, cuatro quintas partes de las lesiones, con influencia de la ubicación de las metástasis en el sistema nervioso central y una aceptable prevalencia de la radionecrosis como complicación.

Authors: Devia María Camila , Domínguez Luis Carlos
Published: September 2023

Introducción: durante el entrenamiento quirúrgico los residentes invierten grandes esfuerzos para alcanzar un desempeño óptimo. Sin embargo, como resultado de las altas demandas y pobres recursos en el trabajo, experimentan variables grados de desgaste profesional, estrés y escaso bienestar. Las estrategias de recuperación del trabajo representan una promisoria área de desarrollo para modificar estos resultados negativos. Nuestro objetivo es sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre las estrategias de recuperación del trabajo en residentes de cirugía.
Métodos: basados en el marco teórico de la psicología organizacional positiva, en esta revisión narrativa sintetizamos la evidencia proveniente de estudios originales publicados entre 2010-2019, respecto a cuatro estrategias de recuperación: 1. El distanciamiento psicológico del trabajo; 2. La relajación: 3. Control del tiempo libre; y 4. Búsqueda de retos fuera del trabajo.
Resultados: un total de 18 estudios fueron incluidos. La mayoría de las intervenciones se fundamentan en el mindfulness (atención plena) como estrategia de relajación, pero su efectividad en la reducción de los niveles de estrés de los residentes de cirugía es pobre. La literatura es limitada para concluir sobre la efectividad de los otros grupos de estrategias de recuperación.
Conclusión: las estrategias más utilizadas para la recuperación del trabajo en residentes de cirugía, están en fase de desarrollo inicial. Su efectividad es limitada para la reducción del estrés y el desgaste profesional. Estos resultados ofrecen oportunidades de investigación futura.

Authors: Paillier-González Jaime Enrique , Flórez-Arango Natalia , Sfeir-Moreno Mario Andrés
Published: September 2023

Introducción: la apendicitis aguda es causa frecuente de dolor abdominal. Su complicación más frecuente es la infección del sitio operatorio, siendo el compromiso pélvico muy raro. Presentamos el caso de una paciente sin vida sexual activa, con una enfermedad pélvica inflamatoria como complicación posoperatoria de una apendicitis aguda. Esta ingresó por dolor abdominal, varias semanas después de una apendicetomía, sin signos de infección incisional, pero con una tomografía que reportaba un hidrosalpinx izquierdo. Evolucionó hacia el deterioro clínico a pesar de la reanimación con cristaloides y antibióticos de amplio espectro. Fue llevada a laparotomía para control del foco. Se encontró un hidrosalpinx izquierdo y necesitó de una segunda cirugía por el compromiso anexial derecho. Luego de estas intervenciones hubo recuperación.

Conclusión: la enfermedad pélvica inflamatoria es una etiología poco frecuente (aunque posible) de abdomen agudo en pacientes sin vida sexual activa.

Authors: Heumer Felix , Kritzner Wolfram , Grischek Thomas , Tränckner Jens
Published: September 2023

Die Trinkwasserversorgung kann durch einen Blackout, Hochwasser, Cyberangriffe oder andere Gefahren beeinträchtigt werden. Doch wie wirken sich konkrete Szenarien auf die eigenen Versorgungsanlagen aus und wie viele Einwohner können noch wie lange versorgt werden? Die Verwundbarkeit der Anlagen ist in Abhängigkeit der Szenarien und der Versorgungsstruktur sehr divers. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Methodik der Bilanz-Struktur-Modelle zur Ermittlung der Vulnerabilität und des Schadensausmaßes vorgestellt und am Fallbeispiel erprobt. Im Ergebnis werden die relevanten Szenarien und daraus die Anzahl der betroffenen Verbraucher sowie die verbleibende Versorgungszeit ermittelt. Auf der Grundlage der Simulationen lassen sich weitere Arbeitsschritte wie die Risikobewertung, Maßnahmen der Wasserhärtung und Grundlagen für ein Krisenmanagement ableiten.
Idols of Promotion and Authenticity on TikTok
Authors: Meza Radu M. , Mogoș Andreea-Alina , Prundaru George
Published: September 2023

TikTok’s rapid growth in the past few years, especially in the younger demographic, may signal a market shift. With children, teens, and young adults reportedly making up 40% to 60% of its user base, the platform is becoming the strongest challenger to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The most followed TikTok celebrities are mostly young people who have either grown up with the platform or recently extended their popularity from other platforms to reach new audiences. This research investigates the discursive strategies and persona performances employed by the top 25 TikTok celebrities under the age of 25 in both popular content and content marked as advertising. A large sample of TikTok content metadata was collected using API interrogation. From each of the 25 young TikTok celebrities, up to 1,000 videos per user (N = 22,650) are explored using quantitative approaches. Two subsamples are analysed using visual, rhetorical, and narrative analysis to evaluate the most popular content (Np = 226) and content marked as advertising using the TikTok ad flagging (Na = 213). The findings include the identification of seven persona performance types and a significant difference in terms of performed ordinariness in content marked as advertising.
Adult Migrants’ Endeavours for a Life as Included
Authors: Nordmark Sofia , Colliander Helena
Published: September 2023

In many European countries, Sweden included, social inclusion of adult migrants has come to mean second language learning and labour market establishment. This understanding of social inclusion has been problematised by previous research as it reinforces a deficit discourse where migrants are depicted as lacking skills or incentives, and social inclusion is seen merely as a matter of adjusting to society. This study aims to examine migrants’ positioning in relation to language learning and social inclusion. It is based on a longitudinal interview study with adult migrants, first when being enrolled in second language education, and later in the continuing process of making a life in a new country. We analyse five migrant narratives, drawing on the concepts of positioning, agency, rights, duties, and capital in relation to their past, present, and future aspirations. The results show that the position of the “good migrant” taking responsibility for language learning and job seeking is prominent. At the same time, positioning is also constructed in relation to individual aspirations and opportunities, depending on one’s circumstance of life and capital, such as previous education or social networks. Thus, inclusion is closely related to being recognised, not primarily as a migrant, but as the person one strives to be, both professionally and personally.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) and plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 1 (PMCA1) in the endometrium of infertile women with unexplained infertility (UI) and endometriosis (E), and to compare the findings to healthy fertile women.

Materials and Methods: Endometrial expression of TRPV6 and PMCA1 proteins was evaluated during the mid-secretory phase using the immunohistochemical method, and mRNA levels were measured by real-time PCR. Calcium concentrations were determined using Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Results: TRPV6 and PMCA1 protein expression were significantly increased in both luminal and glandular epithelium of UI or E groups compared to the control group. TRPV6 mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in the UI group (0.525 ± 0.087) compared to the control group (0.809 ± 0.073). There was no significant difference in PMCA1 mRNA expression levels between the groups. Calcium concentration was significantly higher in women with UI (median (Q1-Q3): 50.57 [40.67-51.37], compared to the control group (median (Q1-Q3): 24.29 [20.11-25.55]).

Conclusion: The present ﬁndings demonstrate altered expressions of TRPV6 and PMCA1 mRNA and protein, along with differences in calcium concentration among patients, especially those with the UI during the window of implantation. These differences might potentially be considered as one of the underlying causes of infertility. Further studies are needed to elucidate the functional roles of these channels and to develop new strategies for pharmaceutical intervention in the treatment of infertility.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of thymoquinone on cardiac tissue in MTX-induced cardiac toxicity in rats with various parameters.

Materials and Methods: Group I (n:8) was administered intraperitoneal saline for 10 days. Intraperitoneal olive oil was applied to Group II (n:8) for 10 days. Group III (n:8) was administered a single dose of 20 mg/kg Methotrexate (MTX) (500 mg/20 ml) intraperitoneally on the 1st day of the experiment. Since Methotrexate was in liquid form, no solvent was used. Group IV (n:8) received 10 mg/kg Thymoquinone (THQ) intraperitoneally for 10 days. Group V (n:8) (MTX: (20 mg/kg single dose intraperitoneally on the 1st day); THQ: 10mg/kg i.p. administered for 10 days. At the end of the experimental period, the rats were sacrificed for analysis of heart tissue. The structure of heart tissue was evaluated by haematoxylin-eosin staining. Immunohistochemically, connexin-43, HSP90, and HIF-1α antibodies were stained. The results were analysed statistically.

Results: According to our results, thymoquinone has a positive effect on the expression of Cx43, one of the proteins providing transmission in the intercalary discs, HSP90, one of the chaperones in the cell, and HIF-1α expression against MTX toxicity and provides a significant improvement by showing a cardioprotective effect histopathologically.

Conclusion: THQ could be considered a crucial cardioprotective phytochemical against MTX cardiotoxicity.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: Inflammation is a major factor in the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and molecules implicated in inflammation include monocytes and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). The primary goal of the study was to look at the relationship between pulmonary function and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in COPD and the monocyte to HDL ratio (MHR).

Materials and Methodsː The study was conducted by acquiring retrospective data from previously recorded questionnaires and hospital databases for 239 individuals over the age of 40 with a diagnosis of COPD who admitted to the outpatient clinic. Patients whose data were missing were not included in the analysis. Two groups of patients were created: those with high MHO levels and those without. Analysis was done on the correlation between high MHO and COPD and pulmonary function tests. The presence of PH in COPD patients was analyzed in the second stage.

Resultsː The median age of the patients was 62.22 ± 9.37 year and 88.7% of them were male. With the exception of smoking, there was no statistically significant link between high MHR and COPD in the analyses, however there was a negative connection between post-bronchodilation (post-BD) FEV1/FVC and MHR. Additionally, the statistically significant negative association was found between the absolute monocyte value and RV/TLC. However, older age (OR=0.949, 95% CI (0.915, 0.984)), having more than three comorbidities (OR=2.174, 95% CI (1.045, 4.521)), and having a body mass index (BMI) below 25 have all been linked to an increased risk of PH in COPD patients.

Conclusionː Although the link between MHR and COPD was not conclusively established, it was linked to pulmonary functions. The study that was presented also came to the conclusion that PH may be significantly increased by advanced age, numerous comorbidities, and low body weight. These problems must be investigated and validated in larger, multicenter patient populations.
Long-term disability in multiple sclerosis: a longitudinal study over 20 years
Authors: BÜNÜL Sena Destan
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study investigated the long-term clinical and demographic characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to predict disease prognosis.

Materials and Methods: Two hundred and seventy-five MS patients diagnosed using the Poser or McDonald criteria were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized based on their Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores: below 4 (group 1) and 4 or above (group 2).

Results: The average patient age was 55.45 ± 9.63 years, with a disease duration of 26.76 ± 6.08 years. The initial EDSS scores increased from 2.56 ± 2.36 to 4.23 ± 1.8 after 20 years. Of the patients, 69.1% had EDSS scores of 4 or higher after 20 years. Notably, patients with supratentorial and spinal cord involvement at onset had higher EDSS scores. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher initial EDSS score, no full recovery after the first attack, and a longer duration between attacks were associated with a higher risk of an EDSS score of 4 or above.

Conclusion: Thisr study shows that an increase in the initial EDSS score is predictive of long-term disability in patients with MS. Having information on long-term, real-life data in MS is highly valuable in terms of understanding the course of the disease, its monitoring, and treatment selection.

¿Cuánto podrían ahorrar y qué ganarían los hogares Chilenos usando medicamentos genéricos en vez de sus equivalentes del marca?
Authors: Atal Juan Pablo , Zitko Pedro , Gutiérrez Catalina , Giedon Úrsula
Published: September 2023

En Chile, el gasto en salud pagado directamente por los hogares el gasto de bolsillo en salud es de 32 por ciento del total, uno de los más altos entre los países de la OCDE. De este gasto, 40 por ciento corresponde a la adquisición de medicamentos. 40 por ciento de los medicamentos ambulatorios a los que accede la población chilena son adquiridos de forma particular en el mercado del retail a través de farmacias privadas. Este trabajo cuantifica cuánto podrían ahorrar los hogares si compraran medicamentos genéricos sin marca en vez de sus equivalentes de marca. Adicionalmente, estima cómo se distribuiría este ahorro por nivel socioeconómico y calcula su costo de oportunidad en términos de gasto de bolsillo y consumo de otros bienes en el hogar. Los resultados indican que existe la posibilidad de sustitución para 29 por ciento del valor del mercado y que el ahorro potencial alcanzaría los 315 millones de dólares anuales. Esto corresponde a un ahorro potencial de 48 por ciento en este segmento. Adicionalmente, para 51 por ciento del mercado no hay sustitutos genéricos disponibles a pesar de que los medicamentos de este segmento perdieron la patente y existen alternativas genéricas con registro sanitario en Chile u otros países. El ahorro potencial de sustituir productos de marca por productos genéricos reduciría 4 por ciento el gasto total en salud de los hogares y 10 por ciento el gasto en medicamentos. Los ahorros son más importantes para hogares con menor nivel educativo entre 12 y 17 por ciento del gasto en medicamentos. Para ilustrar la importancia en términos de otros gastos del hogar, este ahorro permitiría a los hogares con menor nivel educativo pagar cerca de 50 días de transporte por año o más de 2 meses de transporte de días laborales.
HERBIVORÍA EN UNA GIMNOSPERMA ENDÉMICA DE COLOMBIA, ZAMIA ENCEPHALARTOIDES (ZAMIACEAE) POR PARTE DE EUMAEUS (LEPIDOPTERA: LYCAENIDAE)
Authors: González Favio
Published: September 2023

Zamia encephalartoides (Zamiaceae), endémica de un enclave andino seco en Colombia, es conocida a partir de pocas poblaciones en áreas intervenidas y geológicamente inestables, por lo cual está en riesgo de extinción. Se documenta por primera vez en Colombia la herbivoría de la mariposa Eumaeus cf. minijas Huebn. (Lycaenidae) en esta planta. Hay alta frecuencia de juveniles en hojas y conos tanto poliníferos como ovulíferos; la mariposa emplea hojas, esporofilos y semillas como sitios de oviposición, como alimento en los estados larvarios y como sustrato para las crisálidas. Las posturas constan de numerosos huevos. Las orugas son aposemáticas, gregarias y se alimentan exclusivamente de esta planta, por lo cual deben haber desarrollado tolerancia y mecanismos de asimilación de los compuestos tóxicos de Zamia. En cámara de cría, el ciclo de huevo a emergencia del imago duró ca. 50 días. El alto número de hojas producidas por estación hace poco probable que ocurra daño significativo o riesgo inminente por efecto de herbivoría en Z. encephalartoides. No se observó daño extremo a la planta por herbivoría, excepto en tres conos ovulíferos. No obstante, el reducido número de poblaciones y de individuos de esta planta puede disminuir aún más debido a factores relacionados con el sistema de polinización y con la sobreexplotación no técnica e indiscriminada de sus semillas. Por su parte, existe riesgo para la mariposa debido al uso de insecticidas en el área y al deterioro del hábitat local.
The Impact of Renewable Energy Consumption on Economic Growth in Bangladesh: Evidence from ARDL and VECM Analyses
Authors: Kayesh Md Safiulla , Siddiqa Ashma
Published: September 2023

In pursuit of achieving developed country status by 2041, Bangladesh is committed to comprehensive socioeconomic development—a goal intrinsically tied to the critical task of securing a reliable, uninterrupted energy supply while optimizing utilization of available energy sources. This study used 1980–2018 annual data to examine the implications of energy transition and causal relationships among economic growth, renewable energy, and natural gas consumption in Bangladesh. A rigorous two-step process investigated the causal correlations among variables. The autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model was used to scrutinize long-term relationships, while a vector error correction (VEC) model was used to ascertain the directionality of these causal relationships. The outcomes of the bound tests conclusively revealed the presence of a long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Causality analyses indicated a unidirectional causal relationship from renewable energy consumption to economic growth in the long run and from natural gas consumption to economic growth in the short run. A bidirectional causal relationship was found between natural gas and renewable energy consumption in the long run. These findings underscore the potential of energy conservation strategies to catalyze economic growth and suggest an avenue for Bangladesh to achieve its ambitious socioeconomic development goals.

Video Game Equipment Loss and Durability in a Circulating Academic Collection
Authors: Robson Diane , Bryant Sarah , Sassen Catherine
Published: September 2023

Objective – This article reviewed twelve years of circulation data related to loss and damage of video game equipment, specifically consoles, game controllers, and gaming peripherals such as steering wheels, virtual reality headsets, and joysticks in an academic library collection.
Methods – The authors analyzed data gathered from game equipment bibliographic and item records. Only data related to the console system, game controllers, and peripherals such as steering wheels, virtual reality headsets, and joysticks were evaluated for rate of circulation, loss, and damage. Cables and bags were not evaluated because the replacement cost for these items is negligible when considering long-term budgeting and maintenance of a game collection. Results – The majority of video game equipment can be circulated without unsustainable loss or damage. The library has been able to continue circulating video game equipment without undue replacement costs or loss of access for its patrons.
Conclusion – Although equipment will occasionally break or be lost, libraries should not let this unduly affect consideration when starting a video game collection.
Public Librarians Hold Critical and Evolving Role as Community Facilitators of Government Information
Authors: Shen Lisa
Published: September 2023

A Review of:
Zhu, X., Winberry, J., McBee, K., Cowell, E., & Headrick, J. S. (2022). Serving the community with trustworthy government information and data: What can we learn from the public librarians? Public Library Quarterly, 41(6), 574–595. https://doi.org/10.1080/01616846.2021.1994312
Objective – To understand public librarians’ experiences in addressing their communities’ government information and data needs.
Design – Semi-structured interviews.
Setting – 4 public county library systems in 2 southern states in the United States in early 2019, prior to onset of the COVID-19 pandemic
Subjects – 31 public service librarians, recruited through a combination of theoretical and convenience sampling strategies.
Methods – The researchers conducted individual interviews, ranging between 30 and 60 minutes, with each participant. Interview recordings were transcribed and processed through the qualitative data software NVivo, using a grounded theory approach with open inductive coding followed by thematic analysis.
Main Results – Six major findings were identified through thematic coding, including variability and complexity of reference questions, diversity in patron demographics, need for advanced knowledge of the local community context, preparedness of librarians to provide reference consultation for government information, balance between information and interpretation, and trust issues related to government sources. Challenges related to digital literacy level was a shared factor across multiple themes, as patrons’ government information needs are increasingly impacted by their ability to access web, mobile, and computer technologies, navigate online resources, and interpret bureaucratic vocabulary. Some librarians also expressed their own eroding trust towards the validity of government sources, such as climate change information from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration.
Conclusion – A majority of the findings were consistent with past literature, including the breadth and depth of varying government informational needs of public library patrons and the trust patrons have for their public libraries and librarians. Researchers also noted limited initiatives by public libraries to proactively educate patrons about open data or misinformation and recommended that libraries and library science educators better prepare current and future librarians for their role as government information mediators.

Authors: Golovkov Alexander A.
Published: September 2023

Background. Presence of possibility of analytical definition of a part of parametres of various radio devices, optimum by criterion of maintenance of preset values of modules and phases of transfer functions on necessary quantity of frequencies, considerably reduces time of numerical optimisation of other part of parametres by criterion of formation demanded PFC and FFC in a strip of frequencies. Till now such problems dared concerning radio devices only with one cascade of type «a nonlinear part - the coordination the device» or «the coordination the device - a nonlinear part». In quality devices were used the jet, resistive, complex or mixed two-port networks. The problem of multicascade radio devices with jet two-port networks is solved also. Change of basis for the coordination two-port networks and a place of inclusion of a nonlinear part leads to change of area of a physical realizability. Aim. Working out of algorithms of parametrical synthesis of radio devices with any quantity of identical and unequal cascades of type «a nonlinear part the coordination the complex two-port network» by criterion of maintenance of the set frequency characteristics. Nonlinear parts are presented in the form of a nonlinear element and parallel either consecutive on a current or pressure of a feedback. Methods. The theory of two-port networks, matrix algebra, a decomposition method, a method of synthesis of actuation devices microwave, numerical methods of optimization. Results. In interests of achievement of the specified purpose systems of the algebraic equations are generated and solved. Models of optimum two-port networks in the form of mathematical expressions for definition of interrelations between elements of their classical matrix of transfer and for search of dependences of resistance of two-poles from frequency are received. It is shown, that at certain parities between quantity of cascades and values of resistance of a source of a signal and loading of the one-cascade radio device frequency characteristics of one-cascade and multicascade radio devices appear identical or similar. Such schemes are named by equivalent. Conclusion. The comparative analysis of theoretical results (PFC and FFC radio devices, value of parametres), received by mathematical modelling in system MathCad, and the experimental results received by modelling in systems OrCad and MicroCap, shows their satisfactory coincidence.
Substantiation of the concept of a communication system in the range of medium waves in underground quasi-one-dimensional structures
Authors: Fedosov Dmitry V. , Kolesnikov Andrey V.
Published: September 2023

Background. The modern development of the mining industry is characterized by the search for new mining technologies, increasing the complexity, depth, scale of workings and the danger of work, which leads to the search for approaches in building information and communication systems with increased functionality, namely, with the possibility of combining into a single system of mining automation tools, sensors, tunneling equipment, communication equipment, navigation, controls, equipment operating in an emergency situation. Since most underground facilities can be considered quasi-one-dimensional (mines, subways, sewers), transmission lines laid along tunnels can be effectively used to organize data transmission in them. Aim. Consider the physical side of the operation of the information and communication system in the medium and high frequency ranges. Methods. The dependence of the field strength in a tunnel with single-wire and bifilar lines laid in the tunnel was obtained using electrodynamic modeling by the finite element method. Results. The values of attenuation in workings with different medium parameters and attenuation dependences obtained experimentally in a coal mine are given. On average, the signal attenuation is 15 dB per 1 km. Conclusion. A digital medium-wave system based on bifilar lines has significant advantages when deployed over VHF communication systems. It can be used as a base, and if necessary, supplemented with VHF technologies (Bluetooth, WiFi), for example, for personnel using an explosion-proof smartphone, and in areas where increased throughput is required, in places of active mining operations in mines and concentration of technological equipment and personnel.
DISCURSO SOBRE O MÉTODO JURÍDICO: Hermenêutica pós-gadameriana do Direito e Geometria
Authors: Peixoto Fabio Carvalho de Alvarenga
Published: September 2023

Questiona-se, no artigo, a relevância de um método jurídico, em concepções de Direito pós-gadamerianas. O problema pode ser resumido como a identificação da relevância do método, mesmo ante a constatação de que o pensamento jurídico é, ao final, incompreensível. Tomada como correta a conclusão de Lenio Streck de que o método sempre chega tarde na compreensão, a pesquisa investiga se, ainda assim, aquele é de todo dispensável. A abordagem é qualitativa, e sustenta-se em fontes bibliográficas. Apresentam-se, sob a forma de diversas figuras geométricas (linha, ângulo, círculo, elipse), as várias relações entre “o Direito” e “os fatos” — da total autonomia à recíproca pressuposição. Em especial no que se refere às concepções pós-gadamerianas, analisamse as teorias de Castanheira Neves, Lenio Streck e Friedrich Müller, para concluir-se que, ainda que longe da pretensão totalizante de “o método” juspositivista, o Direito como tarefa de realização concreta exige critérios prático-constitutivos que devem ser metodicamente problematizados.

Authors: Almeida Mayara Aparecida Ribeiro de , Murakawa Clotilde De Almeida Azevedo
Published: September 2023

A partir de perspectivas da Linguística Histórica e da Lexicologia, realizamos no presente trabalho um estudo referente a algumas unidades léxicas que sofreram mudanças semânticas no decorrer do tempo, sendo elas: banguela, freguesia, freguês e jornal. Para tanto, temos como corpus o Banco de Dados do Dicionário Histórico do Português do Brasil (DHPB) – séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII, que se justifica pelo vasto acervo documental e pela variedade tipológica contemplada. Deste modo, nossa análise assenta-se nas definições presentes nos dicionários: Bluteau (1728), Silva (1789), Vieira (1871-1874), Houaiss e Villar (2011), Ferreira (2000) e Dicionário Histórico do Português do Brasil – séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII.

As construções passivas na Língua Coreana
Authors: Jang Kim Ji Ae , Tanaka de Lira Marcus
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e uma análise de dados, as propriedades semânticas e morfossintáticas relacionadas à transitividade verbal e aos tipos de construções passivas na língua coreana, a fim de compreender as características comuns e as diferenças em relação às línguas naturais, contribuindo para o estudo de questões gramaticais dessa língua. Na língua coreana, encontram-se três tipos de construções passivas: (1) as passivas morfológicas, nas quais se adiciona um dos sufixos passivos, -i, -hi, -li ou –ki, após o radical do verbo transitivo; (2) as passivas lexicais, em que o próprio verbo carrega o sentido passivo; e (3) as passivas analíticas, formadas pelo verbo auxiliar ji ‘cair’ ou doe ‘tornar’, precedido pelo verbo principal acrescido do sufixo infinitivo –eo/-a/-yeo. Do ponto de vista tipológico, essas construções passivas expressam valores semântico-oracionais e pragmático-discursivos, que, na sintaxe, são codificadas por uma variedade de formas estruturais.

Perceptions of Universally Designed Adventure Education in High School Physical Education
Authors: Faulds Nick , Beddoes Zack
Published: September 2023

Adventure education (AE) is a student-centered curricular model built upon acceptance where various types of learners can experience challenge, success, emotional growth, and peer interaction. Most studies focus exclusively on the perspectives of the instructors, whereas this study includes parental perspectives of children with disabilities and peer mentors. This research investigated a regionally well-known high school inclusive AE program to better understand how participants conceptualized its impact on their lives. A case study design was used. Data collection included semistructured formal interviews, informal interviews, observations, document analysis, and narrative descriptions. Participants were alumni of an AE program, parents of students with disabilities who engaged in the program, and faculty members of a school district who initiated the program. Emerging themes were generalization of teachable moments, sense of community, and changing life perspectives. Findings depicted long-term engagement involving physical activity, adapted physical education, and adventure education among multiple populations of individuals. Participation in universally designed adventure education programming during high school physical education can enhance positive feelings among individuals of varying populations that transition into life after graduation. Given the nature of the model, AE may be optimal for fostering peer interaction and lasting friendships among students with and without disabilities.

Authors: Cruzado Elizabeth , Valencia Gustavo
Published: September 2023

Nuevos enfoques y dinámicas sociales están permitiendo la conexión necesaria entre arqueólogos y comunidades para comprender la importancia y legitimidad del pasado en las poblaciones modernas. En este contexto, el rol del patrimonio cultural es el vehículo que conecta y justifica la preservación del pasado para darle un uso social y un valor comuni[1]tario. En base a estas ideas, nuestro objetivo principal en Nivín ha sido crear y fortalecer vínculos entre el patrimonio cultural y la comunidad local a través de la arqueología pública con un enfoque cocreativo. Es decir, colaborar con la población local, según sus necesidades e intereses, al convertirnos en aliados en la búsqueda de información y creación de actividades que integren el pasado con el presente. Estas prácticas colaborativas entre la escuela local y los arqueólogos se lograron a través de actividades educativas y artísticas que han promovido la preservación, presentación e interpretación del patrimonio cultural en Nivín. Este artículo explora el trabajo colaborativo con esta población, las interacciones entre sus participantes, y los impactos y dinámicas de estos esfuerzos en la preservación del patrimonio.
¿Antes y después de Netflix? Mutaciones en la producción y narrativas de la ficción seriada en Argentina (2013-2022)
Authors: Kirchheimer Mónica , Rivero Ezequiel
Published: September 2023

La ficción seriada argentina ha perdido presencia en la televisión abierta del país durante la última década. Se trata de un fenómeno multicausal que, sin embargo, encuentra un hito en la irrupción de las plataformas globales de video bajo demanda como productoras de ficción local a partir de 2018, hecho que permite entender las mutaciones de la ficción argentina tanto a nivel de la producción como de las narrativas. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir y analizar los cambios en ambas dimensiones en el periodo comprendido entre 2013 y 2022, recorte temporal que permite una lectura antes y después de la disrupción de las plataformas. Se basa en un diseño metodológico mixto que combina la evolución de datos de mercado con el análisis de las narrativas ficcionales. En las conclusiones, se destaca el hallazgo central del trabajo: la extinción de la ficción seriada de la pantalla de televisión abierta, y su recreación desde otros formatos y claves temáticas y narrativas en grandes plataformas.
