“Como sólo el Tata puede contarlo”
Authors: Grinchpun Boris Matias
Published: December 2024

Gracias a sus libros sobre la Argentina de los años ’60 y ’70, Juan Bautista Juan Bautista Yofre se transformó en un éxito de ventas. Además, su impugnación explícita de la “memoria oficial”, asociada con los organismos de derechos humanos y el kirchnerismo, lo convirtió en un referente para quienes defendían otras versiones del pasado y otras visiones en el presente. La buena fortuna comercial y simbólica del “Tata” se explica ciertamente por las disputas memoriales y políticas, por no mencionar la gravitación de la industria editorial, pero no habría sido menor el peso del contenido: apelando a sentidos comunes sedimentados, como la creencia en la objetividad de los documentos escritos y la convicción de que la historia es falsificada, Juan Bautista Yofre se volvió un best-seller pero también un formador de opinión en absoluto restringido a las “nuevas derechas”.
¿La biblioteca y su fondo? ¿El fondo de la biblioteca?
Authors: Grondona Ana
Published: December 2024

Este texto presenta la experiencia de exploración de la biblioteca personal del sociólogo Gino Germani, actualmente conservada en el Istituto Luigi Sturzo de Roma, tras haber sido separada de su fondo documental, alojado en el Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Se detallan algunas decisiones, interrogantes y vacilaciones que surgieron al abordar este acervo libresco, buscando vincularlo con los materiales del archivo personal, como primer paso hacia una reconexión virtual del patrimonio diaspórico del intelectual ítalo-argentino.
Se examinan las especificidades de trabajar con bibliotecas de autor, dialogando con debates recientes en torno a la intersección entre fondos y colecciones personales. Se presta especial atención a aspectos como las marcas de lectura, las dedicatorias, la conformación de colecciones según temáticas o períodos, y la organización espacial y temporal de estos fondos, entendidos como contextos de producción intelectual y huellas de vida.
Los devenires del veganismo
Authors: Ávila Gaitán Iván Darío , González Anahí Gabriela , López Barrios Josué Imanol
Published: December 2024

A mediados del siglo XX, los activistas Donald Watson, Eva Watson, Fay Henderson, Elsie (Sally) Shrigley y Leslie Cross conceptualizaron el veganismo como un principio ético capaz de esculpir una forma de vida alternativa a la construida a partir de diferentes formas de “esclavitud animal”. El veganismo, en contraste con el concepto de especismo, fue desde sus inicios una apuesta afirmativa por la constitución de nuevos modos de existencia. Con el transcurrir del siglo XX y lo que llevamos del siglo XXI, la noción de veganismo pasó de ser casi desconocida a estar presente en el lenguaje cotidiano. Sin embargo, esta generalización ha tendido a reducir al veganismo a una moral inflexible o a una identidad asentada en prácticas de consumo de productos alternativos a los de origen animal. A contracorriente, el siglo XXI también ha sido testigo de una revitalización del concepto que cuestiona ese reduccionismo y lo tiende a pluralizar. Así, actualmente se alude a los veganismos negros, indígenas, populares, (trans)feministas, crip, entre otros. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reconstruir, de manera genealógica, ese trasegar del concepto y proponer un abordaje que esté en sintonía con las prácticas y los usos contemporáneos.

Ehl-İ Sünnet’in Kozmoloji Anlayışının Oluşumunda Eş’arî’nin Etkisi
Authors: Eliş Veysel
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma Ebü’l-Hasan el-Eş’arî’nin (ö. 324/935-36) âlem anlayışının Ehl-i Sünnet’in kozmoloji anlayışına etkisini ihtiva etmektedir. Bu bağlamda onun âlem ve âlemin unsurlarına (cevher, araz, cisim, mekân, hareket, nedensellik) yönelik fikirleri ele alınıp irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Eş’arî’nin, mensubu olduğu Mu’tezile’den ayrıldıktan sonra dakîk konularda aldığı birikimi kendi yöntemiyle nasıl mezcettiği ve başta Eş’arî’lik ekolü olmak üzere Ehl-i Sünnet ekolüne aktardığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu açıdan Eş’arî’nin mezkûr fikirlerinin Ehl-i Sünnet’in kozmoloji anlayışında yer edinip-edinilmediğine değinilmiştir. Öte yandan Ehl-i Sünnet’in kozmoloji anlayışının kurulmasında başat rol oynayan kelâmcının Bâkıllânî (ö. 403/1013) olduğu yönündeki iddialara da cevap verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu iddiaların aksine Eş’arîlik ekolünün kurulmasına öncülük eden Eş’arî’nin dakîk konulardaki görüşlerinin Ehl-i Sünnet’in kozmoloji anlayışının meydana gelmesinde öncü rol oynadığına yer verilmiştir. Çalışma Eş’arî’nin âlem anlayışı ve bu anlayışın Ehl-i Sünnet’in kozmoloji anlayışına etkisi ile sınırlı tutulmuştur. Öte yandan yer yer diğer kelâm ekollerinin ve kelâmcıların dakîk konulardaki görüşlerine de başvurulmuştur. Bu minvalde argümanlar getirilmeye ve analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca deskriptif ve mukayese yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
Memilih Pasangan yang Sekufu dalam Ormas Keagamaan Perspektif Istihsᾱn
Authors: Mukhlisin  , Abdul Qodir Zaelani  , Relit Nur Edi
Published: December 2024

The concept of kafā’ah (compatibility) in selecting a life partner is one of the fundamental principles in Islamic law, encompassing parity in aspects of religion, social status, economy, and others. In the context of religious organizations, kafā’ah has a more specific dimension, namely equality in terms of beliefs, commitment, and involvement in a particular religious organization. Religious organizations often serve as a medium for shaping an individual's religious identity, making it important to choose a partner from the same organizational background as a factor for maintaining harmony and alignment in family life.In modern times, numerous religious organizations are followed by Muslims. The diversity of these religious organizations affects practices of worship, views on local traditions, and even involvement in social and political issues. Thus, the research problem formulated by the author is: How does choosing a partner with the same religious organization affiliation impact family harmony, and what is the perspective of istihsān regarding marriage between individuals of the same religious organization? The author employs a qualitative research method through a case study approach to produce descriptive and analytical data. The research also uses a normative and sociological approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation.Based on field findings, the conclusion of this research is that choosing a partner from the same religious organization does impact family harmony. The harmony within a marriage between partners from the same religious organization can be observed through several indicators: First, there is a balance of rights between husband and wife. Second, there is cooperation in raising and educating children. Third, there is positive interaction with the extended family and society. Fourth, there is mutual support in enhancing spirituality. From the perspective of istihsān, choosing a partner from the same religious organization is preferable for practical application. Istihsān, as a method of istinbāth (derivation of legal rulings), is capable of aligning Islamic law with contemporary issues by selecting the most beneficial option among the good ones. In general principles, the religious criterion in the concept of kafā’ah focuses on a person’s piety and character. However, due to differences in views on piety and character between religious organizations, from the perspective of istihsān, selecting a partner from the same religious organization is prioritized as it is considered more beneficial.

Introduction: Dengue has become the world's most common arbovirosis. In some individuals, genetic factors can increase the risk of developing severe dengue fever. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are one of the most extensively studied gene groups in human disease. The present study investigated HLA DRB1*11 and HLA DRB1*12 polymorphisms in dengue cases and their susceptibilities in the development of dengue in a population in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Methodology: This was a case-control study involving 56 patients with clinically and biologically confirmed dengue fever and 65 others who had never been in contact with DENV, for a total of 121 individuals. A blood sample was taken from each study participant. After extraction of genomic DNA using the salting-out technique, characterisation of carriage of the HLA-DRB1*11 and 1*12 alleles was carried out using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The χ² test, odds ratio (OR), and confidence interval (CI) were calculated using SPSS software to estimate associations and assess the level of risk.
Results: Allele frequencies in the general population were 64.4% and 62.8% for HLA DRB1*11 and HLA DRB1*12, respectively. The HLA-DRB1*12 allele was present in 28.9% of cases and 33.9% of controls. The HLA-DRB1*11 allele was present in 32.2% of both cases and controls. In this study, no direct association was found between the presence of the HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB1*12 alleles and the surveillance of dengue infection. Furthermore, the absence of the HLA-DRB1*11 allele was associated with protection against the development of severe disease (OR = 0.03; 95% CI [0.11 - 0.80]; and p = 0.01).
Conclusion: No risk of developing severe dengue fever was found in individuals carrying the HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB 1*12 alleles. However, further study of other HLA alleles involved in the development of severe dengue may provide more information.

To elucidate the tolerance of green onion to high salinity, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the application of saline water on the irrigation of green onion grown in a protected environment in the Agreste de Alagoas region. The experiment was developed in a protected environment at the Federal University of Alagoas - Arapiraca Campus. The experimental design was entirely randomized, and the treatments were composed of five irrigation blades: one level of salinity and four repetitions. Irrigation occurred daily via drainage lysimeters. Two cultivation cycles of 30 days each were carried out. At the end of each cycle, the following parameters were analyzed: plant height (PH), number of tillers (NT), root length (RT), fresh mass of the aerial part (FMAP), dry mass of the aerial part (DMAP), fresh mass of the root (FMR) and dry mass of the root (DMR). The data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) via SISVAR 5.6. A statistically significant difference was found, and the Tukey test was applied (p < 0.05). In the first cycle, the variables PH, FMAP and DMR had significant effects on the number of irrigation slides. In the second cycle, only the PH was significant, highlighting the influence of saline irrigation on the increase in this variable. Thus, in both cycles, the PH was the only variable with a significant effect on the number of saline irrigation blades. FMAP and DMR were influenced by the saline water used. Saline irrigation is an alternative for the management of green onion in a protected environment under the conditions of Agreste in the state of Alagoas.

Macrofungi usually are found growing on vegetal substrate, soil or dung, but sometimes they have the opportunity to explore some very unusual food. Studying mushrooms in São Gabriel municipality, southern Brazil (Pampa Biome) allow us to collect specimens in different substrata rarely or still not reported in the literature. The collections include Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata growing in Eucalyptus plantation, Clitopilus argentinus growing on a wasp nest, Cheimonophyllum candidissimum growing on rock, Marasmius neosessilis on the shrub Asparagus officinalis (Angiosperm) and Panaeolina foenisecii in Capibara dung. The implications of such ecological relationship are discussed. To Clitopilus a review of the species reported to Brazil is presented.

Authors: Rodríguez Gámez Luis Antonio
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo presenta una propuesta de capacitación con taller en Inteligencia Emocional (IE) dirigida a docentes. La necesidad de la presente propuesta da continuidad a una investigación previa y a un estudio sistemático del tema desde una perspectiva teórica y práctica. La investigación es de carácter mixto y se utilizaron técnicas como la observación, la encuesta y el procesamiento estadístico. Se profundizó en la indagación teórica para la elaboración de una propuesta dirigida a los docentes. Como resultado de la revisión documental y el análisis de los datos obtenidos de los docentes encuestados, se justifica un marco teórico y fundamentos conceptuales en el tema complejo de la IE y la perspectiva neuroeducativa. Se considera a la Neuroeducación un campo emergente y una herramienta innovadora donde la educación y la neurociencia colaboran, siendo esta última quien justifica la importancia de las emociones. Se logró verificar la importancia de la IE para el bienestar docente y para la efectividad del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se revelan deficiencias en el desarrollo de la IE de los docentes en todos los niveles educativos y se evidencia la necesidad de sensibilización y formación en este ámbito. La principal aportación del artículo es una propuesta orientada a la sensibilización y formación emocional en el ejercicio docente tanto a nivel básico como superior. De esta forma, se establecieron nuevos vínculos que facilitan la adquisición de herramientas y competencias relacionadas con la IE, que son indispensables para tomar decisiones y resolver problemas de manera creativa.

Martin Shingler presents the mother volume for Palgrave's Film Stars series in three easily-navigable chapters in which he provides a summative and instructive account of star studies for today's film student. Via a critical evaluation of the work of leading film scholars, he provides a convincing argument for howthis important area of film studies has evolved. Building on this, he offerssome new directions for star scholarship, and ends by offering the film student a useful set of themes and issues for his or her own investigation. 'Star Studies' is the perfect companion for the student who wishes to foster further research on stardom across a wide range of contexts, from national cinemas, to mainstream and marginal cinemas, to different historical periods and beyond.
THE HARMONIC ANALYSIS OF GIULIO BRICCIALDI SELECTED FLUTE WORKS: EXPLORING THE NEO-RIEMANNIAN THEORY BASED VIA COMPUTATIONAL AIDED ANALYSIS
Authors: Mohamad Seperah Siti Hajar , Marzelan Salleh
Published: December 2024

In the exploration of employing the Neo-Riemannian-based analysis towards 19th century flute music, I profoundly examine six flute works by an Italian composer who was established as a performer, and composer, Giulio Briccialdi (1818-1881). Born in Terni, Italy, he accomplished to write several virtuosic works for flute in the nineteenth-century era. His renowned flute repertoire ‘Il Carnevale dzzzi Venezia’ has been widely performed nonetheless, it is surprising that his musical works, especially on the flute, have not yet been extensively examined. I aim to depict and identify a harmony representation implemented from the computer-aided analysis based on the Neo-Riemannian analysis called Hexachord.org and ChordComplexViz. The implementation of the spreadsheets in this article intends to retrieve musical information and provide a measurement to disclose the analysis of its musical elements of harmonic analysis that offers an extended attribute to the flute works in the 19th-century music era from these selected works of Briccialdi. I choose these selected repertoires: Ballabile Op. 15, Concerto Op. 65, Il Vento Op. 112, Il Carnevale di Venezia Op. 78, Le Carezze Op. 79, and Solo Brillante Op. 80 due to the reason that these musical works selected remained ‘untouched’.

During ancient times, megalithic sites generally functioned for religious purposes, astronomy, burial monuments, symbols of a man’s strength, and markers for land boundaries. Nowadays, megalithic sites have the potential to be used as locations for cultural and heritage tourism, particularly archaeology tourism. This indirectly shows that a megalithic structure is something of great value, especially from economic, historical, and cultural perspectives. Its existence is relevant is always relevant. Therefore, the originality of a megalithic monument’s structure must be maintained and preserved from any threats of damage and destruction. Unfortunately, a megalithic structure often faces various threats of damage and destruction, be it naturally or from human activities. Hence, this study aims to examine the threat of natural damage through the process of biocorrosion river erosion on megalithic sites in Long Pasia, Borneo, focusing on the case study of petroglyph Narid Upai Semaring. Other than that, this study also suggests mitigation approaches that can be applied to overcome the threats. Insights from the observational data (photo documentation) through a series of field studies were used as evidence to explain the phenomenon under investigation. This research provides an in-depth insight into how the reaction between the natural environment (moss and river flow) and megalithic sites could change the physical structure of the site. The research finding not only contributes to our understanding of the damage mechanism to ancient artifacts, but it also has crucial implications for the protection, preservation, and management of historic sites in areas that are exposed to the process of biocorrosion and river erosion. The finding is expected to help plan proper preservation and conservation actions for megalithic sites particularly in Long Pasia and generally in Malaysia.
