INTRODUCTION: Prescriptions of unlicensed drugs along with public discussion have increased in recent years. The cause of this increase is unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective descriptive study of applications of unlicensed drugs in Iceland in the years 2020 and 2021, as well as applications in Sweden for the year 2020. Information was collected on unlicensed prescription applications, registered drugs and stock-out time. Information was analyzed and categorized to describe the scope of unlicensed prescriptions in the two countries during the study time. RESULTS: In Iceland, 49.161 applications were approved in 2020 and 46.581 in 2021. The most common reason for using unlicensed products was that no registered drug was on the market with the same ATC-number (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code) and formulation. Shortage of drug was the reason for unlicensed prescription in 8.8% of cases in 2020 and 7.6% in 2021. The list of the 50 most prescribed drugs included the same drugs in 70% of the cases in both years. The five most prescribed drugs were the same in both years. In Sweden, 38.458 applications were approved in 2020. Of the most prescribed unlicensed drug, 46% were as no registered drug with same ATC-number and dosage form was marketed. CONCLUSION: Many unlicensed drugs, prescribed in Iceland, are the same year after year. Only a small part of the applications approved were due to shortage of drug. The use of drugs without marketing license in Iceland in 2020 was higher than in Sweden when adjusted for the size of the market and population. Getting the five most prescribed unlicensed drugs licensed in Iceland could reduce largely, the total of prescription of unlicensed drugs in Iceland.

Evaluation of research as basis for recommendations about lifestyle is discussed and especially recommendations about nutrition. Nordic recommendations on nutrients and diet with emphasis on sustainability are published 2023. Randomized trials, the strongest background for evidence based knowledge, are sometimes not possible to use when studying the influence of lifestyle on health. A tool applied in the Nordic recommendations 2023 evaluates the strength of relation between exposures (nutrients and food groups) and outcomes (health and environment), where research methods are observed and an organized quality control applied. The Interngovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates the share of food systems in global anthropogenic GHG emissions is 31% (23%-42%). Nations now work on cutting GHG emissions from food systems by strengthening food based dietary guidelines and including sustainability, which benefits both health and environment. The recommendations about nutrients 2023 use harmonized methods and new data on body size in the Nordics. The food based dietary guidelines 2023 meet people‘s requirements for nutrients and are healthy for the environment. Physicians and other health professions will have the possibility to stimulate people´s interest to adhere to the recommendations about nutrition and diet built on a stronger and broader basis than before.

Published: September 2023

The autoregressive model is a representation of a certain kind of random process in statistics, insurance, signal processing, and econometrics; as such, it is used to describe some time-varying processes in nature, economics and insurance, etc. In this article, a novel version of the autoregressive model is proposed, in the so-called the partially autoregressive (PAR(1)) model. The results of the new approach depended on a new algorithm that we formulated to facilitate the process of statistical prediction in light of the rapid developments in time series models. The new algorithm is based on the values of the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions. The new technique is assessed via re-estimating the actual time series values. Finally, the results of the PAR(1) model is compared with the Holt-Winters model under the Ljung-Box test and its corresponding p-value. A comprehensive analysis for the model residuals is presented. The matrix of the autocorrelation analysis for both points forecasting and interval forecasting are given with its relevant plots.
An EPQ Model for Delayed Deteriorating Items with Reliability Consideration, Quadratic Demand and Shortages
Authors: Sani Dari
Published: September 2023

In this paper, an EPQ model for items that exhibit delay in deterioration is developed. It is assumed that there is no demand and no deterioration during production buildup period. Demand starts immediately after production but no deterioration. Then a period of deterioration sets in until the stock finishes. It is also supposed that the cost of a unit product is inversely related to the rate of demand and directly related to the process reliability (as assumed by Tripathy et al. (2015) and modified by Dari and Sani (2015)). The demand before deterioration sets in is quadratic time dependent while demand after deterioration sets in is a constant. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered.  A numerical model is given to compare the simulation model and the statistical analysis conducted on the model to see the effect of measurement changes in other system parameters.

Education plays an important role in the holistic development of an individual. Better quality of life, more job opportunities, higher earning potential and growth of the economy are all linked to a good quality of education. Education is a very effective tool in creating skilled manpower. The employment ability of a student improves drastically when given exposure to trends in the industry and also when a student gets the chance to interact and collaborate with industry experts. Such an interaction prepares the student to face real world problems. World over, it has been observed by experts in the industry and scholars in academic circles that there is a gap between what the industry needs and what is taught in the universities. It is imperative that the current education system is scrutinized for further improvisation. As far as India is concerned, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 provides a framework for a plethora of reforms, some of which are linked to better employability. The policy provides for relevant changes in the education system which is conducive to encouraging Industry- Academy collaboration. The present study first gives a comprehensive overview of Industry-Academia collaboration in the context of India. Past endeavours in the pursuit of this collaboration - both on part of the public and private sectors, are discussed extensively in the study. How NEP is providing a channel to bridge the gap between academia and industry is also deliberated upon.

Speech genres of negative reaction
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Steksova Tatyana I.
Published: September 2023

The article presents a study of a group of speech genres, where the factor of the past is relevant, i.e. which are reaction genres. The relevance of the research is determined by the need for the next step in the study of speech genres: from the description of specific genres to the identification and description of systemic relationships between them. The study is a genre analysis of the statements of the Russian language, recorded in the Corpus of the National Russian Language. The article identifies subgroups of genres of negative reaction in relation to the type of initial remark: reactions to imperative genres, reactions to informative genres and a group of genres, which can be caused by both initial remarks and facts of reality. In the course of the research, it was found out that groups of genres united according to the characteristics of the initial remark break up into other groups in case negative reaction genres are grouped according to their illocutionary purpose. Thus, it can be argued that in the genre system of Russian discourse one can see relations similar to paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations in the language system. Each genre, according to different genre-forming features, is associated with different groups of other genres. The approach proposed in the article allows to see those features of the speech genre that are not obvious in its isolated characterization.

Published: September 2023

The article presents a study of the relationship between the language and the genre of speech as different types of communication organization which, however, have a common communicative nature. The research hypothesis is that the language offers options for the verbal embodiment of the image of Russia, but the genre (textbook) selects from the options the one that corresponds to the type of communication between the authors of the textbook (addressers) and the students (addressees). The research is based on the subject vocabulary, which has been extracted from didactic text materials of the analyzed Russian language textbooks and has been organized into lexico-semantic groups for more meaningful analysis. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the nouns from the texts has shown that in the Russian language textbook for public Russian schools texts selected for its didactic material reflect the image of the country, created by the authors of works from the «golden» fund of Russian literature. These works highlight the Russian cultural constants which play the role of moral tuning fork in the spiritual upbringing of a person. The textbook of Russian as a foreign language demonstrates a vulgar and pragmatic view on the image of Russia. Russia is represented as a consumerist society. Moreover, such a view reflects the intentions of disparagement of the country which is represented by the authors in those texts.
The subgenre “address” in the speech of the Soviet intelligentsia (abased on the Soviet dramatic texts of 1950–1980-s)
Authors:   Saratov State University, Rogozhina Elena I. , Baikulova Alla N. ,   Saratov State University
Published: September 2023

The present article deals with the subgenre ‘address’ in the speech behavior of members of the Soviet intelligentsia. The research is based on 9 Soviet plays of V. Azernikov, S. Aleshin, A. Arbuzov, L. Zorin, S. Mikhalkov, M. Roshchin. The character’s education, profession, the author’s description, the actual speech portrait of the character (lexical, stylistic, communicative content), moral qualities of the character were important criteria for definition of a member of intelligentsia. All the selected characters were divided into three generational groups. The analysis showed that the subgenre “address” is a polyfunctional communicative unit, one of the components of the genres “greeting”, “farewell”, “congratulation”, “gratitude”, “apology”, “compliment”, “consolation”, “reproach”, “argument”, “declaration of love”. Addresses with possessive pronouns, ameliorative adjectives, metaphors and precedent names are actively used in the speech of members of the intelligentsia.
COVID-19 discourse as a specific type of discourse in the structure of the university Internet portal (based on the Russian and German materials)
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Novikova Elina Yu.
Published: September 2023

The article presents the analysis of linguistic and cultural features of COVID-19 discourse. The current research is an attempt to identify the discourse-forming features of the given discourse as well as to analyze the empirical material focusing on its genre and language features. The analysis is based upon general scientific methods, with the use of interpretive methodology and contextual analysis. The author analyzes methods of construction and navigation of COVID-19 Internet pages integrated into the university Internet portal providing the justification of its hypertext characteristics and describing the thematic features of the headings. The article describes constructive features of the COVID-19 discourse including its participants, chronotope, goals, strategies and values. The author considers COVID-19 discourse an institutional hybrid interdiscursive phenomenon which forms a thematically limited communicative space in the structure of the university Internet portal during the coronavirus pandemic. The article contains the analysis of the genre aspects of the given discourse based on two non-similar languages (Russian, German) focusing on their discourse-conditioned lexical, syntactic peculiarities. The research revealed the specific genre nature of the COVID-19 university discourse which is determined by the formation and existence of the COVID-19 discourse in different linguocultures. The author shows the interdependence of genre structure and intra-genre linguistic means focusing on the similarities and differences in syntactic and lexical markers of discourse. All this allows to suggest the presence of linguocultural determination of COVID-19 discourse in the structure of the university Internet portal of two non-similar languages. The study opens up the prospects for further focus on the linguocultural determination of COVID-19-discourse and a detailed analysis of its linguistic and translatological features.
Fogo e manejo da terra na Amazônia: por um novo arcabouço teórico-metodológico
Authors: Chermont Larissa
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal apresentar um arcabouço teórico-metodológico alternativo que possibilite a análise do comportamento do camponês na Amazônia brasileira no que diz respeito à adoção do fogo como técnica de manejo da terra. A partir de uma ‘reconstrução teórico-metodológica’, pretende-se: (i) demonstrar a inadequação das formulações amplamente utilizadas (mainstream) de modelos de previsão do  comportamento do agricultor familiar provindas da vertente Neoclássica da teoria econômica, fundamentadas nas noções de racionalidade e maximização de utilidade; (ii) apresentar um modelo conceitual alternativo do comportamento do camponês quanto à adoção do fogo como técnica de manejo da terra, demonstrado preliminarmente por uma tipologia do camponês do Corredor da BR-163; (iii) estabelecer ‘diálogos transversais’ queperpassem as diversas disciplinas nas quais o fenômeno em foco se  manifesta. O campo da produção camponesa na Amazônia brasileira servirá como empiria para a identificação da dinâmica social e análise do comportamento do camponês como agente desse subcampo econômico. Em suma, este trabalho pretende qualificar o problema do uso do fogo e suas consequências na vida do homem rural amazônico, de forma a contemplar os diversos aspectos da ‘realidade complexa’ em que ele se insere e preencher a lacuna existente na literatura sobre o tema

METÁFORA NUPCIAL EN LA ESCRITURA
Authors: Angulo Ordorika Ianire
Published: September 2023

Comprender la relación entre Dios y su pueblo o entre Cristo y la Iglesia en clave conyugal es un lugar común en la tradición judeocristiana. La frecuencia de este imaginario matrimonial no acalla la pregunta por su origen ni por el hecho de que se recurra a ella con tanta frecuencia para referirse a una experiencia religiosa. Este artículo aborda la complejidad de la imagen nupcial y va a las raíces de su despliegue en la Biblia. Para ello, tras acercarnos a comprender mejor las metáforas como herramienta cognitiva, desgranaremos los motivos que facilitaban recurrir a la experiencia matrimonial para comprender la Alianza, entendiéndola como elemento esencial de la experiencia religiosa de Israel, y ofreceremos una rápida visión panorámica de su despliegue en la Escritura al rastrear la presencia del imaginario nupcial más allá de los pasajes en los que resulta evidente.
LA ECLESIOLOGÍA ETNOGRÁFICA DE NICHOLAS M. HEALY. REFLEXIONES EN TORNO AL USO DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN CUALITATIVA EN ECLESIOLOGÍA
Authors: Raquel Azcuy Virginia
Published: September 2023

La distancia frecuente que existe entre la Iglesia concreta y la eclesiología plantea desafíos impostergables para la teología sistemática de nuestro tiempo. En el contexto de América Latina, esto se relaciona con la recepción del método inductivo, asumido por la constitución pastoral Gaudium et spes, que ha tenido y tiene un impacto decisivo en la configuración del ser eclesial y la forma de hacer teología en la región. En este horizonte, este artículo presenta algunos resultados de una investigación reciente sobre el uso de la “etnografía” en eclesiología. Los objetivos fijados fueron esclarecer la utilidad empírica, la validez epistemológica y la función pastoral del método cualitativo en el ámbito de la eclesiología. Metas que conducen a presentar, en la primera parte de este texto, el problema y su alcance en relación con el marco conceptual. La segunda parte se orienta a revisitar y recepcionar los aportes del teólogo católico norteamericano Nicholas Healy, como parte de una extensa producción en el área angloparlante. Sus principales contribuciones son la crítica a las blueprint ecclesiologies, la asunción del horizonte “teodramático” y la propuesta de una “eclesiología etnográfica”. En las conclusiones se subrayan algunos desafíos actuales para la teología sistemática; la necesidad de asumir la realidad de Iglesia concreta, la crisis eclesial y los signos de renovación en eclesiología; la relevancia de la relación entre etnografía y eclesiología ante las dimensiones eclesiales que piden reforma y reconciliación, así como los aportes más significativos de N. Healy para ser retomados en el contexto latinoamericano.

Corrosion poses a significant challenge for numerous industries. The use of corrosion inhibitors is essential within these industries. The efficacy of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors should remain high even when used at low concentrations. In the present study, the compound 4- fluorophenyl-2,5- dithiohydrazodicarbonamide (FTSC) was used as a corrosion inhibitor for brass in 3.5% NaCl solution. The inhibitor efficiency was determined by using a series of electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential (OCP), potential dynamic polarisation (PDP), linear polarisation resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). All experimental tests have been done in stagnant conditions. The findings of the experiments revealed that the compound FTSC looked to be of the cathodic type. Furthermore, the maximum inhibitor efficiency was reached at 98.28% at 1 × 10-3 and at an immersion time of 1 h. The current density was reduced from 16.5 to 0.284 A.cm-2. The adsorption of compound on the brass surface in 3.5% NaCl solution obeyed the Langmuir isotherm with a low negative value of the standard Gibbs free energy of adsorption (-33.8 kJ/mol ΔGads (chemisorption and physisorption). The results confirmed that the compound FTSC can be used as a corrosion inhibitor for brass in 3.5% NaCl.

Published: September 2023

In the conditions of transformation of contemporary society there are dynamic transformations, which primarily affect changes in the individual psychological sphere of each person. These changes lead to formation of a holistic, confident and self-sufficient personality, capable of high self-regulation and self-control, which will ensure one’s successful integration into society. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the importance of self-sufficiency in the development of the system of personality self-regulation. The article uses a theoretical analysis of scientific publications on self-regulation and self-sufficiency of the individual; generalization and systematization of the results of current researches and approaches. The considered main approaches to the study of self-regulation, which reflects a conscious control of behavior, contributes to the effective achievement of goals, ensures successful adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Self-regulation includes a whole system of emotional and behavioral reactions, personality traits, internal and external factors that determine one’s development, among which an important place is occupied by self-sufficiency. Self-sufficient personality has a well-established system of claims, autonomy and independence, high self-esteem and determination. Self-sufficiency is associated with personality-oriented growth, self-realization, which provides motivation to effectively regulate behavior and psycho-emotional state. The conducted theoretical research allowed to state that self-regulation of personality is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, an important place in the structure of which is occupied by self-sufficiency. It is concluded that there isa necessity to update and achieve self-sufficiency, which will promote development of self-regulation.
Determining Causes of Deviant Behavior in Students
Authors: Pascaru-Goncear Valeria
Published: September 2023

The deviant behavior of students is a cause of concern for our society. Media sources signal daily the omnipresence of this social problem that must be researched from several perspectives. The way the student behaves is a reflection of his inner self. The inner balance determines the outer balance in relationships with others, in approaching problems, in the way of life. It is very important to understand the reasons, the causes that condition deviant behavior. Most often it is formed during the formation of the personality, as a result of a defective education, educational deficiencies, lack of trust and respect between the educator and the educated. That is why in order to understand the causes that determine deviant behavior in students, it is necessary to analyze the internal structure of the person, to take into account his needs, his life experience, the attitude he has about himself and others, his beliefs. Students who do not accept themselves unconditionally often have a distorted view of themselves, thus ending up living an illusion and exhibiting deviant behavior. Success in overcoming this problem is conditioned by the way the individual thinks about himself and the world around him, his attitudes towards life in general, his self-image and unconditional self-acceptance of his own person because this is a first step towards change.

Published: September 2023

The main purpose of the physical education course is to contribute to maximizing the physical, mental, social, and emotional development of children. In order for the Physical Education course to fulfill this function, there must be a healthy and harmonious relationship between the student teacher and the curriculum. Physical education programs are primarily affected by students who do physical education and sports, and the teacher who takes physical education classes. The aim of this research is to evaluate the views of physical education teachers working in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus according to the sub-dimensions of "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Evaluation" of the 4th an5th-grade physical education curriculum.
The questionnaire form used as the data collection tool of the research consisted of four parts. While preparing the questionnaire, the "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Evaluation" sub-dimensions of the physical education lesson program were taken into account. In the analysis of the quantitative data obtained from the research, descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean, standard deviation) were used. According to the results obtained in the research, the teachers expressed their opinions at the level of "I agree" on many aspects of the "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Assessment" sections of the program. The most positive feature of the program is that the physical education and sports education program enables students to develop positive personal qualities as well as basic life skills. The most negative feature is that the content does not contain up-to-date information.
University Education Standards in the Postmodern Context of Sustainable Growth
Authors: Roliak Angelina , Humeniuk Iryna
Published: September 2023

In the period of postmodern changes, trends for global cooperation and the development of the contemporary standards of university education are focused on the convergence of state higher education layouts in Europe to design an Area for Higher Education in Europe (EHEA), which will mainly strengthen worldwide competitiveness. The principles of university standards system modernization in the postmodern era are not the same but similar in both European and global educational environments. In general, they may be described as the triple-phased process of standardized assessment, combining a triangle of education, research, and innovation. Global cooperation trends and the adoption of common standards in European and world education enable university students and staff at different levels to be mobile without legal or other restrictions within the international community. The university has always been and remains a powerful structure that has survived many historical epochs. Thus, postmodern transformation processes in the university education sector have led to the need to review and reorganize the whole system of standardized assessment of a threefold set of knowledge, based on exploration and alteration, correlated with the conventional and contemporary university function, connected with producing new knowledge, that is not restricted to the national frameworks, but is worldwide, directed on the global cooperation, and development.

Published: September 2023

The present paper aims to bring forward the impact that the quality of life has on the detainees of penitentiary institutions and the way they navigate their prison living throughout their sentence. As the parameters have shown herein, the quality of life on prison detainees differs based on their assessments of life within the confined spaces of the penitentiary, including their relationships with other detainees, the support activities they are involved in and whether they have definitely been convicted or they have been in their pretrial detention period. This prerequisite has been quite important in the evaluation of the quality of life for detainees since based on these convictions, if permanent or temporary, and through the help of the survey as method of investigation, one has been able to outline the different needs, activities, opportunities and standard of living per se of the ones placed under the confinement of the law. This assessment has put forward also the relationships that the detainees have with the participation in the socio-educational programs and medical services offered within and with the participation in the sports activities carried out, while highlighting their understanding and judgment of how they are being treated inside, thus the right to humanity and decency.
Using Social Media Resources to Build Young People's Professional Futures

Young people are exploring alternatives, informing themselves and exchanging impressions among themselves, in order to finalise their career choices. An active means of information is using social media resources, especially by joining social networking groups to discuss issues related to learning, choosing universities, helping by providing study materials or sharing learning practices for baccalaureate or college admission, etc.

I will present, as a case study, an active Facebook group. The investigation will aim to explore a set of dimensions such as: young people's topics of interest, career visions, expectations after graduation from university (where they can work after graduation), forms of support among young people on learning and preparation for the transition from high school to university, etc. We are witnessing a pattern of informal education taking place within generations of young people at the stage of choosing a professional field.

The approach will be both qualitative and the applied research method will be case study. The novelty of the topic is to show that young people use social media to inform themselves and crystallise career options, thus using technological resources constructively. Time spent on the internet is valued for life planning and not just for entertainment.

The paper provides comparative analysis of the seme stocks denoting good in modern English and French. The formalized analysis of lexical semantics integrating both mathematical and purely linguistic methods has been employed to conduct the research. The study shows that each word in question is internally structured and presents an organized hierarchy of lexical meanings.
The seme stocks of the nouns denoting good in English and French present hierarchical systems, subdivided into subsets of polyfunctional, semes with the average degree of functionality, and monofunctional. The comparison of the seme stocks under study has shown that they differ in quantitative characteristics more than qualitative ones. The views on good are partially concurrent in the English and French language world pictures. Both cultures associate it with a good-doer, his/her inner world, social rank, acts of favour, courteous attitude to others, spiritual and material values that promote the highest happiness. The distinctive features reveal the socio-pragmatic character of the concept in English and socially conditioned – in French.
Listening in Primary School – The Connection Between Listening, Comprehension and Expressive Reading

Oral message reception is a basic component of oral communication. It has a significant importance in society, due to its traditional function as a means of learning. Not knowing how to listen is an obstacle not only for personal development and harmonious interpersonal relationships, but also one influencing the formation of other communication skills. There is a tendency to consider listening a "role" or skill already formed at the beginning of the school years. Nowadays, it is being explored as a process which includes cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects. M. Imhof (Imhof, 2008) analyzes quantitative and qualitative issues of listening tasks in primary school German education. The results show an average listening time of 27 minutes out of 45 minutes, duration of a class, which represents 60% of the time. As for the listening sources, these are: the teacher (53% of the listening time, i.e. 14.3 minutes), others classmates (41%, i.e. 11.1 minutes) and media sources (6%, i.e. 1.6 minutes).
The school curriculum for Communication in Romanian / Romanian language and literature within is organized in areas of communication (oral and written) and basic skills (text reception and production), making the study of Romanian compatible with that of foreign languages into the same curricular area. Textbooks and the teaching tools less reflect this organization, focusing on the reception of the written text on text production, ignoring the role of listening.
The main purpose of the paper derives from the obvious importance of the listening activities, in primary school, taking into consideration the current educational context and the concerns regarding the reduction the of functional illiteracy phenomenon. Listening activities can, in some circumstances, facilitate new vocabulary acquisition, support the formation of a consistent and complete mental scheme of the narrative text. They can also offer patterns of verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal expressions, to stir feelings of attachment towards reading and books.
The quality of listening depends on both the receiver and the sender, and in primary classes this double determination must be looked at very carefully . There are landmark studies that investigate listening in the native language at a young school age. This it is an aspect that encourages and generates knowledge development, and the present study incorporates what is already internationally known and offers better perspectives on the importance of listening in the Romanian primary classes.
Etnografía de una encrucijada. Economía de los cuidados y formas de alteridad/identidad en un vecindario de clase media limeña
Authors: Acha Kutscher Elisabeth Juana
Published: September 2023

Desde una mirada etnográfica, a través de las trayectorias de vida de vecinos, cuidadores y servidores, al igual que la observación participante en el Centro Comercial, parques, eventos vecinales y grupos de WhatsApp de residentes de la zona, queremos identificar las prácticas afectivas que sostienen la economía de los cuidados y lo que significa para los cuidadoresy servidores atender lo más íntimo y vital de familias ajenas de manera sostenida y diaria, al interior de un sector social diferente al propio y lograr una convivencia armónica. De la misma manera, hemos incluidoen nuestras reflexiones a aquellos que mantienen y velan los espacios semipúblicos como parques y aceras. A través de estas dinámicas, afloranformas de relacionarse y sentidos de alteridad/identidad y catalogar a los demás, así como maneras de autodefinirse. En la encrucijada resultante entre y al interior de los distintos segmentos y grupos sociales residentes y no residentes, se revelan encuentros, colisiones, fronteras y negociaciones entre sí que terminan caracterizando y reproduciendo el tejido simbólico que compone el espacio social, además de asegurar una economía y política de cuidados. De la misma manera que son los transeúntes que circulan losque hacen la ciudad, son los cuidadores y servidores los que sostienen y hacen posible la reproducción de los barrios de clase media.

En la comunidad y parroquia rural de Canelos, del cantón Pastaza, en la provincia del mismo nombre, en Ecuador, se celebra el Kamari ista (fiesta del banquete o de la abundancia) más grande de toda la Amazoníakichwahablante. A partir de una solicitud de la misma comunidad para que el Kamari fuera registrado y certificado como patrimonio nacional, entre 2013 y 2022 se realizó trabajo etnográfico de forma participativapara elaborar el documento base para dicha meta. En este proceso se hizo evidente que, más allá de ciertos trabajos etnográficos de hace varias décadas, actualmente se conoce poco de dicha fiesta o ritual, de su función y significado. Partiendo del trabajo realizado en el marco de la certificación patrimonial, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar desde una perspectiva antropológica el Kamari de Canelos: su proceso complejo de preparación y desarrollo, su origen intercultural y especialmente su función social y significado cultural.
