Consideraciones de actualidad sobre el alta médica individual y colegiada en la evaluación de la prestación de incapacidad temporal de un año de duración, en el ámbito médico del Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social
Authors: Sánchez Galán Luis , Baides Gonzalvo Pilar , Regal Ramos Raúl , Herreros Portoles Gema
Published: November 2023

El Real Decreto-ley 2/2023, de 16 de marzo, de medidas urgentes para la ampliación de derechos de los pensionistas, simplifica las actuaciones que conducen al alta médica en los trabajadores que permanecen en situación de incapacidad temporal entre un año y año y medio de duración. Aunque puede ser eficiente en muchos casos, en los procesos de incapacidad temporal de especial complejidad, el hecho de perder el trabajo de un equipo colegiado como el Equipo de Valoración de Incapacidades, podría dificultar la toma de decisiones eficaces, justas y eficientes. 
Se expone la definición de estos procesos de especial complejidad y la necesidad de poner a disposición del médico inspector una serie de datos laborales para la mejora en el proceso de la toma de decisiones sobre el alta médica, así como abrir legalmente la posibilidad del trabajo en equipo para evaluar determinados supuestos.

Published: November 2023

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie różnic pomiędzy prędkościami tramwaju zapisanymi w rejestratorze pojazdu a zmierzonymi urządzeniem pomiarowym i wprowadzenia propozycji zastosowania współczynnika korekcyjnego w celu ustalenia rzeczywistej prędkości tramwaju. W czasie eksperymentu realizowanego do jednej z opiniowanych spraw stwierdzono różnice pomiędzy wartościami prędkości zapisanymi w rejestratorze ATM i zmierzonymi urządzeniem VBOX Sport. Zauważono również, że już w rejestratorze zapisane są cztery prędkości, których wartości nie są takie same. W artykule przedstawiono źródła tych prędkości i obliczono współczynnik, który posłużył do odtworzenia rzeczywistych prędkości i przyspieszeń zarejestrowanych w czasie rzeczywistego zdarzenia.

Determination of tram’s actual speed based on the values verified by the ATM recorder

The aim of the article is to present the differences between the tram speeds recorded in the recorder and those measured with a measuring device, and to propose the use of a correlation coefficient to determine the real speed. During the experiment, performed for an expert witness opinion, differences were found between the speed values recorded in the ATM recorder and those measured with the VBOX Sport device. It was also noticed that four speeds of different values had already been recorded in the recorder. The sources of these speeds are presented and the correlation coefficient between the measured and recorded values, which was used to reproduce the actual speeds and accelerations recorded during the real event, is calculated.

Translation as a Tool for Reconciliation? Translation of Canadian Indigenous Literatures into French in the era of Decolonization

The common assumption is that translation helps to share ideas and build bridges between societies, cultures and languages. Nevertheless, in Canadian history translation has been a tool of colonial domination and oppression of indigenous communities as well as francophone minorities scattered across Canada after 1763. In view of the above, this paper aims to show from a translational point of view the attempts to redress decades of persecution and assimilation that are currently taking place, particularly in light of the findings and recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released in June 2015. The analysis covers a unique context, involving the translation of works of Indigenous Literature into a minority language such as French in Canada. After presenting current trends in this area, the paper will discuss an autobiographical novel Halfbreed by Metis author Maria Campbell, which appeared in French translation in 2021 almost half a century after the original was published.
Brutalne wersy. Przemiany norm gatunkowych literackiego horroru a translatorskie strategie polskich popularyzatorów poezji grozy – przypadek antologii Roberta Stillera i Leszka Lachowieckiego

Violent Verses. Transformations of Horror Fiction and Translational Strategies of Polish Popularizers of Gothic Poetry – the Case Study of Anthologies by Robert Stiller and Leszek Lachowiecki

The article discusses strategies used in translation of horror poetry in Polish anthologies of this genre in late 1980s and early 1990s when, thanks to political and social transformation, Western popculture with some of its characteristic features became available and popular in Poland. Comparative analysis of the selected translations collected in the volume Danse macabre (1993) by Leszek Lachowiecki, compared to their English, French or German originals (by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Robert Frost, Richard Wilbur, Vachel Lindsay, Charles Baudelaire and Georg Heym) and earlier Polish versions by Robert Stiller (published in 1986), proves that the later variants amplify and/or introduce numerous lexical items denoting or connotating violence, fear and disgust. Thus, the techniques used by Lachowiecki – aimed at a brutalization of language and emphasising the themes of cruelty, terror and dread – can be perceived as an application of old-fashion style and means (typical for modernist or “Young Poland” literature) in order to adjust aesthetic standards used in poetry to broader cultural trends dominating in contemporary horror fiction.

“He Did Not Know Which of the Two Shadows Was His": A Posthumanist Reading of Amparo Dávila’s First Short Story Collection
Authors: A. Pérez Oscar
Published: November 2023

En este artículo propongo una lectura desde el posthumanismo de una selección de los cuentos incluidos en la primera colección de Amparo Dávila, Tiempo destrozado (1959). Algunos de estos cuentos han sido traducidos al inglés y aparecen en The Houseguest and Other Stories (2018). A través de los múltiples entes no humanos que habitan estos textos, la autora crea mundos de ficción que exhiben las limitaciones de una perspectiva humanista antropocéntrica. Describo cómo funcionan varias técnicas a este respecto. Por ejemplo, se cuestiona el vínculo entre la vista y la racionalidad, y se enfatizan otras experiencias sensoriales; podemos encontrar numerosas y diversas relaciones simbióticas entre humanos y no humanos, y se cuestiona la construcción de la no humanidad como la antítesis de lo humano. Además de enriquecer las lecturas críticas de la obra de la autora, esta propuesta destaca su profunda relevancia en la actualidad.
La experiencia de lo sagrado en "La señal" de Inés Arredondo: resonancias bíblicas en el relato
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, López Santillán Luis
Published: November 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es analizar el cuento “La señal” (1959) de Inés Arredondo a partir de sus simbolismos bíblicos. Al inicio se brinda un contexto general de la autora y de su obra. Este ensayo enfatiza la experiencia de cruzar el umbral entre lo profano y lo sacro, según las ideas de Roger Caillois; y cómo el protagonista se convierte en el centro de un ritual inesperado, en el que es consagrado por una presencia enigmática, a partir de la escena central de la historia: el momento en que el protagonista penetra en la iglesia de un pueblo y un extraño le pide que le deje besar sus pies. Se analizan las referencias bíblicas al acto de lavar, ungir y besar los pies en la tradición hebrea y cómo Jesús y María Magdalena son un ejemplo de esta práctica.
Los estudios franciscanos y la espiritualidad de San Francisco de Asís
Authors: Domínguez Serna Joaquín
Published: November 2023

El atractivo de la figura de San Francisco de Asís ha sido permanente desde el siglo XIII hasta nuestros días. A pesar de sus biografías y leyendas, que deben ser leídas e interpretadas según sus propias estructuras literarias, en su contexto histórico y como obras interdependientes (Cuestión Franciscana), la verdadera imagen del santo se muestra preferentemente en sus escritos personales. Los estudios franciscanos han aportado no sólo una imagen renovada de san Francisco, sino también de su espiritualidad.

La Iglesia, espacio de esperanza para las culturas
Authors: Río Martín Juan del
Published: November 2023

La escisión entre Evangelio y Cultura es extremadamente profunda en nuestros días. Se ha originado porque el hecho religioso aparece como un cuerpo extraño dentro del contexto cultural en el que está inmerso, y por otra parte el hombre aparece como un "ser en estado precario". Por lo tanto, tenemos dos frentes en este conflicto: por un lado, el campo de la cultura como "nuevo areópago" para evangelizar; por otro lado, la Iglesia que se ha convertido en el último recurso para el ser humano y su cultura.
Paraguay en el semanario parisino L’Illustration: la escritura del exotismo ilustrado (1853-1870)
Authors: Tutté Andrea
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo indaga sobre las condiciones de escritura de los artículos ilustrados sobre el Paraguay que publicó entre 1853 y 1870 el semanario francés L’Illustration. A diferencia de los grabados que los acompañaban, en los que se identificaba a los autores de los croquis o las fotografías de origen y se insistía en su reproducción fiel y sin intervenciones, las fuentes de la información que presentaban estos textos no siempre se explicitaban. El periódico recurría a una combinación de relatos de testigos presenciales, fuentes éditas y colaboraciones de corresponsales no siempre presentes en el lugar de los hechos, con una fuerte intervención de los redactores de planta parisinos de la publicación para seleccionar textos de distintos orígenes, ordenarlos y definir la línea editorial. En particular en lo que se refiere a la cobertura de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza (1864-1870), el periódico se vio involucrado inicialmente en la ofensiva propagandística que desplegaron los contendientes en Europa, para luego adoptar una postura propia ante el conflicto.

The composition of essential oils of 10 species of aromatic and medicinal plants from Pirot District was examined. Protected, rare, or poorly researched species were chosen for investigation. They belong to the families Asteraceae (Achillea clypeolata, A. coarctata, A. crithmifolia, and A. millefolium), Apiaceae (Seseli libanotis and S. pallasii), and Lamiaceae (Satureja montana, Sideritis montana, Teucrium chamaedrys and T. montanum). Most of them are protected by the Law of the Republic of Serbia. All selected species flower from mid-June to early July. In that period, plant sampling was carried out on Mts. Stara Planina, Vlaška, and Vidlič and in the vicinity of Dimitrovgrad, at 500-1300 m a.s.l., to determine yield and chemical composition of the oil. Samples were dried immediately after collection at the registered agricultural holding „Cvetković“ in Pirot, and then transported to the laboratory of the Faculty of Chemistry in Belgrade. The highest essential oil yield was found in the following species: S. libanotis (1.40%), A. crithmifolia (0.94%), Satureja montana (0.30%) and A. millefolium (0.25%), while it was weak in other species (0.02-0.07%). The chemical composition of the oil was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the case of the first 3 examined plants from the family Asteraceae, the following compounds dominated: 1,8 cineole and camphor (with significant differences in terpene profiles), and in A. millefolium, b-pinene and trans-caryophyllene dominated. In the family Apiaceae, a high proportion of oxygenated monoterpenes (OM) and a pronounced dominance of b-elemene were found in Seseli libanotis, while in S. pallasii, a high proportion of monoterpene hydrocarbons (MH) and OM, especially limonene, was found. However, this similarity was not observed in the dominant components: geraniol, germacrene D, b-caryophyllene and the group of terpenes. In the family Lamiaceae, the share of OM was high in Satureja montana and Sideritis montana, but there was also the most MH and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (OS) (respectively, in comparisons of all 4 species). Teucrium chamaedrys and T. montanum stand out with a high proportion of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (SH), and T. montanum also has OS. However, the dominant components in all 4 species differ in the content of geraniol, germacrene D, b-caryophyllene, or group of terpenes (Satureja montana, Sideritis montana, Teucrium chamaedrys and T. montanum, resp.).

Published: November 2023

Single- Use Plastic manufacturing and use have risen steadily since its invention, spurred by the rising urbanization of the world. Ever since its introduction, and driven by rapid urbanization, there has been an increase of plastic production and consumption. The government, organizations, and other institutions should perform various investigations to explore the many limits, in any aspects, in order to address plastic waste and its underlying problems. It involves implementing many strategies and efforts throughout the entire community, including in institutions. A meta-synthesis of the challenges and initiatives faced by schools with relation to single-use plastics is essential to providing a complete awareness of the existing situation and development of sustainable practices in educational institutions. After extensive investigation of the synthesized articles the challenges were categorized into seven themes: manpower, equipment/facility and space, administrative support, financial, lack of information dissemination, attitude/behavior, and curriculum integration. Meanwhile, the initiatives were classified into six themes: environmental goals, rewards and motivation, disciplinary measures, knowledge and awareness, educational approach, and the equipment and facilities. This meta-synthesis concluded that the various difficulties faced by universities in managing single-use plastic hinder the implementation of those solutions as well as the various initiatives employed by universities to promote the spread of environmentally conscious and responsible people. School administration and teachers collaborate in integrating the reduction of plastic waste to the teaching instruction. In addition, incentives and disciplinary actions are among the finest ways to instill routines, practices, and habits in the reduction and generation of plastic trash. To lay a solid basis for environmental education and awareness, policies that set expectations for behavior and offer direction to faculty, staff, and students are established.

Etiopathological Evaluation of Swasa Roga in Relation to Anxiety
Authors: Deepika  , Deepika Bhatt  , Sanjay Kumar Singh
Published: November 2023

The modern era has seen significant changes in lifestyle that have disturbed people’s physical and emotional well- being. Ayurvedic classics state that unhealthy lifestyle (Apathya Aahar and Apathya Vihar) is the root cause of all the Vyadhis. Many people go through periods of Anxiety at various occasions of their lives. Although these periods of anxiety are not permanent, if the symptoms persist for a long time, it can cause damage to both mind and body. Health is considered as a state free from mental and physical disorders. Anxiety serves as a predisposing factor for disease such as respiratory diseases. In Ayurveda respiratory disorders are mentioned under the Swasa vyadhi. Swasa roga is Vata Kaphajanye vyadhi and its aggravation is directly related to the anxiety. In the Ayurvedic classics, none of the Acharya has given any clear description regarding the role of anxiety in aggravation of Swasa roga. The lack of data drives the need to define the pathophysiogenesis of Swasa roga with respect to Anxiety in order to understand the progression of Swasa roga in a better way.

A Systemic Review of Vegadharana on Cardiac Disorder
Authors: Sushil Kumar Jha  , Vivek Raghuwanshi  , Santosh Kumar  , Vijay Bahadur Singh
Published: November 2023

The term “Vega” means natural urge, and “Dharana” means suppression, so collectively, the word Vega Dharana means forceful suppression of natural urge. Vegas are naturally created in the body in order to maintain bodily equilibrium. Initiation of urges is a normal body activity through which unwanted and waste body products are expelled from the body. In order to facilitate the elimination of these substances, the body is equipped with Adharniya Vegas, which appears naturally. So it is very important to respond to these urges and not suppress them as and when they appear. In Ayurveda, it is broadly explained how suppression of urges leads to serious illnesses. The suppression of urges cause disturbance in homeostasis and lead to many metabolic disorders. Vega dharana as a Nidana is a unique concept of Ayurveda. Acharya Vagbhatta, in the Astang Hridaya Sutrasthana, stated that the root cause of almost all diseases is Vega udirandharane. In Ayurveda, Vegadharan of Adharniya vega is one of the causative factors of Hridaya roga. Today, cardiovascular disorders are the world’s leading cause of mortality and responsible for one out of every four deaths. The increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) all over the world is due to faulty diet patterns and lifestyles. Approx eighty percent of premature deaths from CVD are preventable. The role of Ayurveda in the prevention and cure of cardiovascular disease is very systematic and good. It can be helpful in decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Authors: Sunil Kumar Rai  , Vaibhav Mishra  , Pushpa Rai
Published: November 2023

A carbohydrate antigen called CA19-9 is used to identify pancreatic cancer patients. Pancreatic cancer patients and those with some other gastrointestinal carcinomas have been reported to have increased levels of CA19-9. Additionally, recent research suggests that this antigen plays an etiological function in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Decreasing levels of the marker are indicative of a good prognosis and are commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies offered for pancreatic cancer.

Lowering CA19-9 levels in patients with pancreatitis from the start of treatment has been demonstrated to be successful using Ayurvedic approaches. Research on this formulation as a preventive treatment for pancreatic cancer in people with pancreatitis may find fresh direction as a result of this observation. In this case report, the author and his team discuss Ayurvedic features of patient treatment through the use of Ayurvedic therapy. The pancreatitis patient with increased CA 19-9 levels who received treatment with Ayurvedic medicines is the subject of this report's observations.

Authors: Athira Soman  , P.Benedict  , Sreelekha M.P
Published: November 2023

Non-healing ulcers are defined as spontaneous or traumatic lesions, mainly in lower extremities that persist despite appropriate treatment and do not proceed towards healing in a defined time period. Wound healing is a very dynamic and complex process. It is divided into 5 stages in which granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis and synthesis of collagen occurs in the proliferative phase. On the basis of clinical features, non-healing ulcers can be considered as Dushtavrana in Ayurveda. Different types of Vrana and sixty types of treatment modalities are well explained in Susrutha Samhitha. Utsadana karma is indicated in non-healing ulcers with poor granulation tissue. It is the procedure by which the deep floor of the wound is elevated using drugs which promote growth of new tissues. Utsadana of Vrana can be correlated with the proliferation of new tissues in the wound healing process. The conservative and surgical management for non-healing ulcers mainly includes debridement, skin grafting and wound dressings. Even though these treatment methods help in healing the ulcer, the rate of recurrence is more due to the formation of unhealthy granulation tissue. Also it leads to complications like infection, sensory deficits, scarring and bleeding. Susruthacharya mentioned the drugs for Utsadana in Misrakadhyaya, they are Apamarga, Aswagandha, Suvarchala, Talapatri and drugs of Kakolyadi gana. Dalhana in his commentary mentioned Ghrita preparation of these drugs for topical application. Rasayana, Brimhana and Balya properties of these drugs will help in the formation of healthy granulation tissue. In the present case study a 30yr old male patient visited the OPD with non healing ulcer was selected for Utsadana karma. Daily dressing was done with Apamargadi ghrita. The study was done for a period of 30 days The dimensions and attributes of the ulcer was systematically measured on 1st, 8th, 15th, 30th day and the result was assessed. The result shows that topical application of Apamargadi ghrita is effective in Utsadana- granulation tissue formation of Dushta vrana.

Alopecia is a condition that causes baldness and hair loss. It is a medical disorder that causes hair loss, often from the scalp or head skin. There are several factors that might contribute to hair loss, including genetics, environment, pollutants, different drugs, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Hair loss condition is essentially divided into numerous groups based on hair loss pattern and its various causes. Hairs are the development of follicles that are present on our skin and are described as "increased epithelial structure created by the keratinization of germ cells" in the definition of hair. Herbal remedies are used both externally and inwardly to stop hair loss and early greying. Promises of improved hair growth and less hair loss. The foundation of all medical research is herbs. Since herbal medications have fewer negative side effects than synthetic treatments and more positive outcomes, almost 80% of individuals have started using them. Several synthetic therapies, including corticosteroids, dithranol, tretinoin, minoxidil, zinc, systemic cortisone, irritants, immunosuppressant’s, finasteride, and azelaic acid, are currently available to treat hair loss (androgenetic and areata), but none of these treatments have been shown to have positive and long-lasting effects on patients. These medications' synthetic side effects, such as erythema, scaliness, pruritus, dermatitis, itching, etc., are also linked to their usage. So, in order to address the issue of hair loss, we looked into nature's treasures and discovered a number of herbs that have a track record of successfully treating hair loss. These herbal medicines' claimed modes of action include improved scalp blood circulation, DHT and 5-Reductase blockers, aromatherapy, and nutritional support. Phyllanthus Emblica, Oscimum sanctum, allium cepa, allium sativum, Thea Sinensis, Eclipta alba, Cocas nucifera, Sesamum indicum, Centella asiatica, Terminalia Chebula, Emblica officinalis, and Trigonella Foenum graecum are a few examples of herbal medications used to treat alopecia.

This research paper examines the role of the provisional charge practice within the criminal procedure of Mauritius and its impact on the overall criminal justice process, with a focus on arbitrary arrests and violations of the Right to Liberty. It also conducts a comparative analysis of similar practices in the United Kingdom, France and South Africa. The study finds that the issues associated with the provisional charge in Mauritius are prevalent in the selected countries, highlighting the importance of police involvement in the charging process. The study concludes that even jurisdictions with strong legal frameworks can experience abuses of power and violations of the Right to Liberty, emphasizing the need for integrity and safeguards within the criminal justice system.

We, predators: humans, apex predators and their preys in the Atlantic Forest trophic cascades

Florestas tropicais são os ecossistemas mais biodiversos do planeta e, no entanto, se encontram severamente ameaçadas por impactos antrópicos. Entre os principais impactos, destacam-se a perda de habitats e a fragmentação e degradação das áreas remanescentes (e.g. caça, extração de madeira, queimadas). Quando grandes vertebrados conseguem persistir nesses ambientes, tanto o habitat remanescente como a reorganização intraespecífica podem influenciar a distribuição e a abundância das espécies. No entanto, é difícil separar os efeitos dentro das comunidades daquele causados por seres humanos, como a maior parte dos trabalhos faz. Por isso, além da modificação dos habitats é preciso considerar o impacto direto da caça furtiva nessas florestas tropicais. Nesse contexto, na presente tese abordamos a distribuição espaço- temporal dos mamíferos de médio e grande porte em um dos maiores remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica Brasileira e propusemos a inserção dos humanos como uma espécie com impacto desproporcional na cadeia alimentar. No Capítulo I descrevemos a dinâmica espaço-temporal da comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande, registradas por meio de armadilhas-fotográficas, utilizando um modelo de distribuição agrupada de espécies. Neste capítulo conseguimos observar que os mamíferos terrestres de médio e grande porte apresentaram respostas variadas às condições ambientais, bem como padrões de co-ocorrência que podem indicar compartilhamento de nichos ambientais e de interações intraguilda. No Capítulo II propusemos um modelo conceitual com quatro cenários, incluindo o papel dos predadores de topo e dos seres humanos na cadeia alimentar. Nele concluímos que a caça furtiva apresenta grande impacto nas cadeias alimentares e não deve ser tratada como uma ameaça “invisível”.
Impactos do rompimento da barragem de Fundão - Mariana (MG) na comunidade de macroinvertebrados bentônicos da bacia do Rio Doce

Nos ecossistemas aquáticos habitam macroinvertebrados bentônicos, com diferentes funções ecológicas, densidades e riquezas. A qualidade e disponibilidade de recursos alimentares, a qualidade da água e o tipo de habitat disponíveis determinam a composição de suas comunidades. O rompimento da barragem de rejeitos da SAMARCO/BHP Billiton/Vale, em Mariana (MG), resultou no maior desastre ambiental do Brasil e um dos maiores desastres sociotécnicos do mundo, causando diversos impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais. Aqui investigamos o efeito da enxurrada de rejeitos, liberada pelo colapso da barragem, sobre os macroinvertebrados bentônicos no rio Doce, testando as seguintes hipóteses: (1) o rejeito alterou as condições ambientais, que por sua vez afetaram as comunidades de macroinvertebrados bentônicos; (2) o rejeito reduziu diretamente a riqueza e a abundância, alterando a composição das comunidades de macroinvertebrados bentônicos; e (3) o rejeito alterou a estrutura das comunidades de macroinvertebrados bentônicos, alterando o padrão de acúmulo de riqueza em resposta à abundância local destes organismos. Para avaliar o efeito do rejeito, comparamos nove locais por onde passou a onda de rejeitos (afetados), ao longo da calha do rio Doce, e seis locais que não receberam a onda de rejeitos (controle), em rios afluentes do rio Doce. Os locais por onde os rejeitos passaram apresentaram menor riqueza de macroinvertebrados bentônicos, mas a abundância, equitatividade e composição de macroinvertebrados não diferiram entre os locais afetados e controle. Nossos resultados indicam que os rejeitos liberados pelo rompimento da barragem da SAMARCO levaram a uma redução de longo prazo na riqueza de macroinvertebrados bentônicos, apesar da manutenção de outros parâmetros da comunidade. Nenhuma variável ambiental afetou a riqueza de macroinvertebrados, exceto a passagem dos rejeitos, que mostra um impacto direto e duradouro do rompimento da barragem na biota aquática do rio Doce.
