Bolaño y Borges: vida de personajes infames
Authors: Arce Oses Sebastián , Bolívar Porras Pabel
Published: March 2024

A comparison is made of La literatura nazi en América, by Roberto Bolaño, and Historia universal de la infamia, by Jorge Luis Borges. Attention is given to the form and characteristics of the first part of Borges' book, the seven biographical sequences developed as narrative, ludic exercises, and specifically, the analysis of "El atroz redentor Lazarus Morell." Regarding Bolaño, consideration is given to the three “lives” of the first series of fictitious biographies, “Los Mendiluce.” We are interested in understanding them from the generic viewpoint: in their form, what joins or distinguishes them? What did Bolaño take from Borges?
«El derecho de asilo»: o ¿la búsqueda del Edén perdido?
Authors: Acevedo Mojica Wilfredo
Published: March 2024

El relato «El derecho de asilo», de Alejo Carpentier, emplea como moti- vo de estructuración compositiva el exilio y el problema del tiempo como «dislocación»; factores que, de manera consecutiva, transforman la cotidianidad de un personaje y lo conducen a una metamorfosis identitaria en un espacio en el que el carácter escénico configura un mundo narrativo cambiante y sombrío. Se estudia el recorrido realizado por un exiliado, víctima de un desarraigo espacial, que lo sustrae de su espacio «edénico», y lo enfrenta a variadas vicisitudes que, a manera de purgación, lo harán recobrar la identidad perdida, es decir, su plenitud personal.The story “El derecho de asilo,” by Alejo Charpentier, uses exile as a structural device for its composition and time as a “dislocation.” These elements will eventually change a character’s everyday life within a setting where there is a metamorphosis of the character’s own identity formed by a changing and shady narrative world. An analysis is provided of the journey in this exile which takes him away from his “paradise” and causes him to face difficult events which, in turn, cause him to recover his own lost identity, that is to say, his self-plenitude.
Tipología del orden de los constituyentes en la lengua bribri
Authors: Fallas Monge Johnny , Sancho Ugalde María de Ángeles
Published: March 2024

Es una descripción de la tipología del orden de los constituyentes en la lengua bribri, de acuerdo con la teoría de los universales lingüísticos (Greenberg) y la teoría funcionalista (Payne). La primera propuesta se asocia con las proposiciones acerca de universales implicacionales y no implicacionales y sus combinaciones pertenecen al orden de constituyentes. La segunda describe la distinción tripartita de roles semánticos-sintácticos: A (agente de la cláusula transitiva), S (único argumento de las cláusulas intransitivas) y P (paciente de la cláusula transitiva). Esta última, la adecuada para explicar el orden de los constituyentes en bribri, es una lengua con sistema ergativo-absolutivo y de ergatividad escindida.A description is provided of the constituent order typology in Bribri, following the theory of linguistic universals (Greenberg) and the functionalist theory (Payne). The first proposal is related to the propositions of implicational and non-implicational universals and their combinations belonging to the order of constituents. The second describes the tripartite distinction of semantic and syntactic roles: A (agent of the transitive clause), S (unique argument of the intransitive clause) and P (patient of the transitive clause). The latter is adequate to explain the order of the constituents in Bribri, since it is a language with an ergative-absolutive system and with split ergativity.
Interactivity in Second Language via Social Identity and Group Cohesiveness
Authors: Rojas Alfaro Roberto , Ruiz Navarrete Ronny
Published: March 2024

Se describen y analizan la influencia de la identidad y la unión de grupo como factores que facilitan o dificultan los procesos interactivos en el aprendizaje del inglés como segunda lengua. Se señala la conexión entre el aprendizaje interactivo de un idioma y factores como identidad social, personal, y unión de grupo. El efecto de la integración del grupo y la identidad en el aprendizaje de un segundo idioma son esenciales dado que pocos estudios se han referido al efecto de tales variables en la interacción de grupo. Con el estudio de un caso realizado en dos grupos de estudiantes adultos se diagnosticó el estado de cohesión del grupo y su impacto en el aprendizaje interactivo. This research explores the influence of identity and group cohesion as factors that facilitate or hinder interactive processes in ESL classrooms. In particular, this paper addresses the connection between interactive language learning, social and personal identity, and group cohesiveness. The effect of group cohesion and identity in second language learning has been addressed in relatively few studies on the impact of those membership variables in determining interactivity in communicative language teaching. A case study carried out in two college level classes diagnosed the status of group membership and its impact on interactivity.

The Impact of Water Sorption on the Compression Strength of Paper
Authors:   Swedish Forest Products Research Laboratory, Fellers Christer , Bränge Ake ,   Swedish Forest Products Research Laboratory
Published: March 2024

The effects of preconditioning, moisture content and relative humidity during adsorption and desorption on the compression strength of paper were evaluated for a kraft liner and an NSSC-fluting over a range of moisture content from 1-23%. The method used was the STFI Short Span test. In general, the results show that compression strength decreases with increasing moisture content. More specifically, if compression strength is evaluated as a function of moisture content, the data points fall on a single curve for both adsorption and desorption . This result is independent of the moisture history of preconditioning of the sample. If compression strength is evaluated as a function of the relative humidity of the test environment, the moisture history and preconditioning both exert a large influence on the test result. This indicates that samples of unknown moisture history should be preconditioned in much drier atmospheres than previously recommended.

The distribution of filler particles in printing papers increases in importance with increasing filler content. In this paper it is shown that conclusions about the chalk distribution can be made from formation measurements on sheets before and after removing the chalk respectively. Chalk can be chemically removed using an HC1-Propanol solution. Measurements of filler distribution have been made on fine paper containing 35-70% chalk. The sheets were formed in a twin wire, roll former laboratory machine at 500 m/min. A three component dry strength,/retention aid system was used, including starch, one anionic polymer component, and one cationic polymer component. Both when using a strategy for maximum retention and for optimum formation it was found that the local filler grammage was proportional to the local fiber grammage. Measurements of formation on base paper and roll coated paper respectively revealed that there is a strong negative correlation between local filler grammage and local fiber grammage, which results in very even formation of the coated sheet.
Evaluating the Quality of Pressure Sensitive Copy Papers
Authors:   Feldmille Aktiengesellschaft, Horand D.
Published: March 2024

A reliable and reproducible testing procedure for the development, product improvement and production control of pressure sensitive copy papers (PSP) is described. The crucial aspect of the testing procedure (FM-test) is the alignment of many small individual areas so close to each other that a full tone area results from the contact between and partial overlapping of the individual areas. The full tone area surface copies of practically any size, characterized by a very uniform appearance of intensity, can be measured very simply by means of commercially available remission photometers or densitometers. Another important aspect of the FM test is very good reproducibility and adjustment of the writing force, which is the key to reliable conclusions concerning changes of quality and their causes. Mathematical and statistical evaluations point out that the quality of PSP can be described by a “characteristic curve” (CC), showing the change of image intensity as a function of writing force. A three-parameter equation for the CC allows an easy calculation of several quality criteria characterising the PSP, without the need of performing a multitude of different tests. In an example, discussed in more detail, it is shown, which paper qualities affect the performance of a PSP and how quickly and reliably the correlations can be evaluated by the FM-test.

Modelling and Optimization of Reliability Functions for a Gas Compressing System
Authors: Nnaebue Uchechukwu Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

This study entails the optimization of a gas compressing system to maximize its reliability and subsequently cut maintenance costs. In the course of the work, an improvement of Mean Time To Failure (MTTF technique was achieved by varying different failure cost of maintenance with targeted system reliability for a gas processing system and this was done using LINGO application programming bundles which was used to run a Nonlinear Mixed Integer Programing Model (NLMIP) to effectively enhance the processing plant and the reliability of five individual systems, including air compressing system: impeller, bearings, mechanical seals, valves and cooling fan within the gas compression system. The Excel solver was utilized to process the mean time to failure (MTTF) and the evaluated MTTF was additionally used to assess and understand the system failure history. From the study outcomes, it was ascertained that the MTTF of a system can be controlled through a maintenance planned support program The study outcomes also helped to determine that an alternative way to deal with the conventional maintenance practice is developing a support program through the execution of system reliability that reviews the system framework and sub-component and key parameter index, such as repair rate and failure rate.
The Digitalisation of Elitism and Sifting? Observations on the Online Registration of First-Year University Students in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Zondi Lungile Prudence , Ehiane Stanley Osezua , Maapola-Thobejane Hlabathi , Mkhize Nkanyiso Nkazimulo , Roboji Zukiswa
Published: March 2024

This paper argues that the digitalisation of university registration processes has given rise to concealed elitism. The phenomenon became apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, as elite students accessed advanced medical care and education degrees while individuals from indigent families and rural communities bore the brunt of the pandemic. Drawing from the perspectives of critical emancipatory research (CER), the observational study described in this paper sought to explain students' experiences during the transition to digitalised registration processes and to identify practical solutions for the deficiencies in the new system, ensuring inclusivity for all students in the future. This observational study did not have a specific sample size but observed the groups of incoming first-year students gathered outside many university gates during the registration period in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study consequently concluded that many universities in KwaZulu-Natal are not prepared for digitalisation of student applications for several reasons: (i) the use of technology conceals elitism, a lingering aspect of the apartheid era that disenfranchises students from indigent and rural communities; (ii) universities lack reliable infrastructure, as they were not initially designed for contemporary communication and teaching methods; and (iii) the rise of technological innovation destabilises the intentions of our South African democracy and the massification agenda. This paper proposes a dual method of communication (virtual and walk-in inquiries) that would accommodate democracy and recognise people's right to education. This approach would ensure that students from different socio-economic backgrounds are accommodated in higher education institutions. The paper recommends technological innovations that do not remind black and poor students that they were once marginalised from accessing tertiary education due to systems that were not favourable to them.

Published: March 2024

The implementation of the Payment for Forest Environmental Services (PFES) strategy is increasingly being adopted through community-based initiatives globally. Nonetheless, the comprehension of such community-based PFES remains considerably limited. This investigation delves into the community-based PFES, scrutinizing the impact of local community involvement in PFES financial management mechanisms on the efficacy of this policy at the community level. Conducted in Dien Bien province, Vietnam, this study employed Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques alongside household surveys. The findings indicate that the community-based PFES is operational with efficacy. It engenders motivation and fosters communal engagement in concerted forest conservation endeavors. Moreover, the pillars of self-administration, equitable distribution of benefits, and robust oversight are pivotal in determining the triumph of this policy approach.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Endocervical adenocarcinomas represent a very heterogeneous group of tumors. Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the intestinal type is a rare histologic variant. Clinical case: 38-year-old female patient, who consulted for abnormal uterine bleeding, as well as more frequent cycles accompanied by dysmenorrhea, denying any other added symptomatology. She also underwent speculoscopy where a verrucous lesion was found, hypervascularized at that time, a biopsy which reported endocervical mucosa with moderate chronic inflammation and papillary, mild vascular congestion, compatible with endocervical polyp and MRI with enlarged uterus with thickened endometrium myometrium and nodular endometriotic implant of cystic appearance in the cervical isthmus junction. Due to the persistence of the symptoms it was decided to perform a total hysterectomy by laparoscopy, intraoperatively moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma implants were observed, compatible with endocervical primary. It was decided not to continue with the surgical time for neoadjuvant chemotherapy management. Conclusion: Establishing the preoperative anatomopathologic diagnosis is decisive to improve the treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality of the patient.

The review summarizes data on the prospects of using lyophilization as a methodical approach to preserve structure and functions for a long-term storage of human cord blood leukoconcentrate (HCBL). The advantages of the freeze-drying compared to low-temperature storage, natural or thermal drying have been shown. The question of the impact of physical and chemical factors, which are implemented at the stage of lyophilization, on structure and functions of HCBL cells has been considered. The importance of such factors as cell concentration, storage conditions, residual moisture in ensuring the preservation of lyophilized material was disputed. The paper analyzes the data on the use of lyoprotectants and antioxidants during freeze-drying as well as discusses the safety of using lyoprotectant delivery methods in relation to the genomic profile of cells. Key words: leukoconcentrate of human cord blood, freeze-drying, lyoprotectors, antioxidants

Here, we have studied the impact of cord blood destruction method on composition of the cord blood-derived low molecular fractions, and compared the cryodestruction with other methods of cell destruction before extracting. Human cord blood was destroyed by rapid or slow freezing / warming, hypotonic lysis and thermal destruction. The obtained substance was used to produce the cord blood fraction (CBF) by multi-stage ultrafiltration and lyophilization. Dry weight, CBF composition and total protein content in them were evaluated by chromatographic profiles (gel permeation and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography). The CBFs, obtained by diff erent techniques for cord blood destruction were established to diff er in the content and molecular weights of the components. These fi ndings suggest the possibility to vary the amount and range of low molecular weight compounds in lyophilized cord blood fractions by using low temperatures and combining diff erent regimens of freezing / warming. Key words: cryodestruction, cord blood, biologically active substances, low-molecular fraction, low temperatures

Published: March 2024

La emergencia sanitaria experimentada a nivel mundial a causa de la COVID-19 durante los años 2020 y 2021 ha tenido un impacto de grandes dimensiones en el ámbito educativo. El caso de Costa Rica no ha sido la excepción, donde esta eventualidad, aunada a otros factores como la huelga sindical del año 2018 y los desastres causados por fenómenos atmosféricos como los huracanes Otto y Nate, han venido a provocar un rezago generalizado en la educación. A partir de este conjunto de factores, este artículo propone una serie de talleres para hacerle frente al rezago que tiene la población estudiantil graduada de secundaria en Costa Rica. Estos talleres buscan mejorar las habilidades lógico-matemáticas, de investigación, competencias lingüísticas y habilidades blandas en los estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Sede del Pacífico de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Estas iniciativas promueven la sensibilización y participación del profesorado al aplicar técnicas y metodologías efectivas para la enseñanza en el sistema educativo universitario, de acuerdo con las características y perfil de las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes que se reciben en la Universidad de Costa Rica.

El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar los indicadores de carga externa e interna en balonmano juvenil durante un torneo congestionado en Costa Rica, seleccionando variables a través de Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP) como técnica de reducción de datos, y determinar si existen diferencias entre sexo. Los datos se obtuvieron de 73 jugadores juveniles de balonmano (33 mujeres y 38 hombres) de ocho clubes locales durante un torneo de partidos congestionados de 3 días. Se analizaron doce partidos (seis masculinos y seis femeninos) utilizando ACP y una prueba t-Student independiente para las diferencias relacionadas entre sexos. Se identificaron seis indicadores principales de carga, cinco de carga externa [distancia relativa (DR); cantidad de aceleraciones (AceR), aceleración máxima (AceMáx), velocidad máxima (VMáx), y diferencia entre aceleraciones y deceleraciones (DfAce-Dec)] y uno de carga interna [frecuencia cardíaca media (FCmedia)]. En hombres, los indicadores más representativos fueron la DR, la FCmedia y AceMáx, explicaron el 39,6% de la varianza. En mujeres fueron la VMáx y AceMáx explicando el 44,4% de la varianza. AceR (p< 0,01), AceMáx (p< 0,01), VMáx (p< 0,01) fueron mayores en hombres respecto a las mujeres. Mientras que la FCmedia (p= 0,02) fue mayor en mujeres que hombres. Se concluye que la carga externa e interna mostró diferencias entre jugadores masculinos y femeninos. Hombres caracterizados por variables asociadas con el volumen, mientras que, para las mujeres fueron más comunes indicadores relacionados con la intensidad. Para torneos congestionados, es importante individualizar según sexo las cargas de entrenamiento, así como priorizar las cualidades físicas a entrenar.
Illúzió a szabad akarat? Idegtudományi-pszichológiai-filozófiai megfontolások
Authors: Molnár Márk
Published: March 2024

A szabad akarat képessége magától értetődőnek tűnhet, azonban a tudománytörténetben az erre vonatkozó determinisztikus (a szabad akarat lehetőségével összeegyeztethetetlen) és nem determinisztikus (a szabad akaratot megengedő) felfogás évszázadokra visszamenően követhető. A legfontosabb alapfogalmak tisztázását követően az akaratlagos mozgással kapcsolatos megfigyeléseket és ezek értelmezési lehetőségeit tekintjük át, többségében azokat, melyek az akaratlagos mozgás szándékát több 100 ms-mal megelőző felkészülési potenciál jelenségét alapul véve megengedik, vagy kizártnak tartják a szabad akarat lehetőségét. A kérdés szempontjából lényeges lehet annak mérlegelése, hogy képes lehet-e az idegrendszer termékeként felfogható pszichés tevékenység visszahatni magára az azt létrehozó rendszerre. Amennyiben ez lehetséges, ez nyitva hagyhatja a szabad akarat megvalósulásának lehetőségét.

It employs qualitative methodologies, utilizing a case study methodology. Data were generally collected through interviews with disaster management authorities and planning sources. Other data were gathered secondarily through library examination, which includes papers, mass media, and other related documents. The findings indicate that the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bantul has taken positive strides in incorporating gender factors into disaster management strategy. This includes measures to promote women's participation in planning processes, identify special hazards for women, and strengthen women's disaster preparedness. With this discovery, BPBD of Bantul district supports women in the face of disasters by strengthening their capacity through disaster management training and education, as well as disaster planning, in the hope that women's groups can increase women's roles in protecting themselves. This study adds to our understanding of gender marginalization in disaster management and can be used by the government to build more effective policies and programs that involve women in long-term disaster response efforts and promote gender equality.

A definition of the institutional mechanism of entrepreneurial activity is proposed, and the main essential characteristics of the phenomenon under study are identified. The influence of the functioning of the existing institutional mechanisms of the business environment on the opportunities for economic growth in the regions of the Russian Federation has been studied. An assessment was made of the impact of the activities of support institutions on the efficiency of the business sector by calculating the growth rate of GRP and a similar indicator of revenue for the business sector (the time lag is limited to 2021). The coefficient of involvement in business activities of economic entities in the Southern Federal District was calculated in order to determine the effectiveness of the existing institutional system in the regions. An analysis of the main factors in the development of the business sector in the regions of the Southern Federal District was carried out, and the level of development of the institutional infrastructure for stimulating entrepreneurial activity was determined. A score-rating assessment of the effectiveness of changes in the institutional mechanism was carried out according to the following indicators: growth in revenue of the business sector, change in the number of employees in the business sector, growth in export potential of regions, growth in lending rates, population involvement in business activities, and change in the amount of overdue debt. A methodology for calculating the integral indicator of the effectiveness of changes in the institutional mechanism is proposed, and their calculation is carried out. Problems and contradictions within the functioning of this mechanism have been identified. Measures have been identified to improve the institutional mechanism for stimulating entrepreneurial activity and should be concentrated in the following main areas: improving the organizational mechanism through the creation of a “road map”; improving the support infrastructure by developing interaction with development institutions from other constituent entities of the Russian Federation and including regional universities in the support system; stimulating entrepreneurial activity in industries of sustainable demand by developing production cooperation, creating conditions for nurturing new entrepreneurs, expanding sales opportunities in neighboring regions and border states; and developing institutional work in the direction of stimulating innovative entrepreneurship.
El rol de la Einbildungskraft en la filosofía de Fichte y de Novalis. La relación finito-infinito en el idealismo "de lo" absoluto
Authors: Scarfia Lucas Damián
Published: March 2024

En el presente artículo se analiza la relación filosófica entre la obra de Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) y de Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis) (1772-1801). En particular se estudia el modo en que uno y otro concibieron el rol de la imaginación (Einbildungskraft) en el marco de sus ideas y pensamientos sobre filosofía. A su vez, este análisis conlleva determinar cuál es el tipo de relación metafísica que ellos establecieron entre los conceptos de lo finito y de lo infinito. Esto último se presenta al interior de una clase particular de filosofía, a saber: el idealismo “de lo” absoluto o de lo finito, por contraposición al dogmatismo filosófico y al idealismo absoluto –encarnado en la filosofía de Hegel. Como consecuencia de este estudio en que se ponen en comparación las posturas de Fichte y de Novalis, se concluye que, para poder comprender de manera coherente sus posiciones, se tiene que resaltar el sentido moral de su pensamiento, en particular respecto de la fuerza de la imaginación en paralelo con los alcances de la facultad de la razón. También se subraya la continuidad de sus planteos respecto de la filosofía crítica y práctica de Kant.
Adam Smith y la igualdad: Continuidades y tensiones dentro de su teoría
Authors: Olivares C. Yercko
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo se propone abordar la obra de Adam Smith con el objeto de identificar una posible “teoría sobre la igualdad” en el corpus del filósofo escocés. Nuestro planteamiento cuestiona el ideario colectivo en torno a este autor, según el cual se lo caracteriza como cercano al anti-igualitarismo de ciertas corrientes liberales. Basándonos en investigaciones hechas en los últimos años por algunos estudiosos de Smith, expondremos argumentos e ideas presentes en su obra que se pueden asociar a posiciones igualitaristas y que muestran que su postura sobre este tema es más compleja de lo que se cree. En esta línea, con el fin de evidenciar la posición de Smith acerca de la igualdad, presentaremos su concepción sobre el surgimiento de la desigualdad y ciertas ideas plasmadas en La Riqueza de las Naciones y en Teoría de los Sentimientos Morales relevantes para la discusión. En esta tarea, tomaremos como principal referente el trabajo de Samuel Fleischacker, cuya interpretación de Smith -que será complementada con análisis propios- tenemos también el objeto de difundir.

Abstract: The aim was to evaluate primary implant stability and bone microarchitecture in two drilling situations, by comparing the conventional technique (CT) and osseodensification (OD) (Versah Burs - Jackson - Mississippi - USA). The implant insertion torque (IT), implant stability quotient (ISQ), and the peri-implant trabecular microstructure were assessed on bone fragments obtained from pig’s tibia (n=12), divided between CT (n=6) and OD (n=6). After the drilling procedure, the implants were installed (3.5x8.5 mm, Epikut - SIN - São Paulo - Brazil). The IT and ISQ were measured using a digital torque wrench and resonance frequency analysis. Then, the bone fragments containing the implants were removed with a trephine and analyzed by Microtomography (µCT, 8.0 µm). The comparison between groups was performed using the unpaired t-test (α=0.05). The results revealed that OD promotes a higher insertion torque (CT: 7.67±2.44 Ncm; OD: 19.78±5.26 Ncm) (p=0.0005), although ISQ was not different (CT: 61.33±4.66; OD: 63.25±4.58) (p=0.48). There was a significant increase in peri-implant bone volume (CT: 23.17±3.39 mm3; OD: 32.01±5.75 mm3) (p=0.008), and trabecular parameters: separation (CT: 0.4357±0.03 mm; OD: 0.3865±0.04 mm) (p=0.0449), number (CT: 1.626±0.18 1/mm; OD: 1.946±0.13 1/mm) (p=0.007), and thickness (CT: 0.1130±0.009 mm; OD: 0.1328±0.015 mm) (p=0.02). Structure model index (SMI) data demonstrate no significant differences between groups (CT: 1.7±0.2; OD: 1.4±0.4) (p=0.12). In conclusion, OD increases the insertion torque values and promotes beneficial changes regarding bone microarchitecture compared with CT, revealing more peri-implant bone volume with consequent higher primary stability.
