Vascular Access Teams: A Global Outlook on Challenges, Benefits, Opportunities, and Future Perspectives
Authors: Morrow Shonda , DeBoer Erica , Potter Christopher , Gala Smeet , Alsbrooks Kimberly
Published: December 2021

Highlights

Background:

Specialized vascular access training for medical professionals organized into vascular access teams (VATs) was shown to improve patient outcomes, clinical efficiency, and cost savings. Professional perspectives on VAT benefits, organization, challenges, and opportunities on a global scale remain inadequately explored. Using detailed perspectives, in this study, we explored the global VAT landscape, including challenges faced, clinical and clinico-economic impacts of VATs, with emphasis on underresearched facets of VAT initiation, data dissemination, and metrics or benchmarks for VAT success.

Methods:

Semistructured in-depth interviews of 14 VAT professionals from 9 countries and 5 continents were used to elicit qualitative and quantitative information.

Results:

Catheter insertions (100%) and training (86%) were the most performed VAT functions. Based on a 1–7 scale evaluating observed impacts of VATs, patient satisfaction (6.5) and institutional costs (6.2) were ranked the highest. VAT co-initiatives, advanced technology utilization (6.6), and ongoing member training (6.3) distinctly impacted VAT endeavors. Most institutions (64%) did not have routine mechanisms for recording VAT-related data; however, all participants (100%) stated the importance of sharing data to demonstrate VAT impacts. Time constraints (57%) emerged as one of the major deterrents to data collection or dissemination. The majority (64%) experienced an increased demand or workload for VAT services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions:

Despite the global variances in VATs and gaps in VAT-related data, all participants unanimously endorsed the benefits of VAT programs. Evaluating the impact of VATs, disseminating VAT-related data, and forging specialized institutional partnerships for data sharing and training are potential strategies to tackle the hurdles surrounding VAT formation and sustenance.
The Impact of Seasonality on Prosthetic Arteriovenous Vascular Access Graft Thrombosis
Authors: Zammit Stefan , Cassar Kevin
Published: December 2021

Highlights

Introduction:

Arteriovenous prosthetic grafts are susceptible to recurrent thrombotic occlusions mainly due to venous outflow disease secondary to neointimal hyperplasia. Maintenance of vascular access for dialysis is a perpetual challenge for both patients and health care systems. In regions with hotter climates, there is a clinical impression that episodes of prosthetic arteriovenous vascular access graft thrombosis are more frequent during hot dry summers secondary to dehydration and increased blood viscosity. Seasonality of thrombotic events has been observed in multiple vascular beds. However, a seasonal pattern or any association of arteriovenous graft thrombosis with temperature and relative humidity levels has never been fully demonstrated.

Methods:

Data were collected prospectively from January 2014 until December 2020 but analyzed retrospectively. In this 7-year timeframe, 289 episodes of arteriovenous graft thrombosis were identified from 142 grafts fashioned.

Results:

No monthly variation (P = 0.35) or seasonal variation (P = 0.91) was identified. No statistically significant correlation between episodes of thrombosis and mean monthly temperature and mean relative humidity was noted.

Conclusion:

No evidence was identified to support this theory. However, multiple issues with assessments of events must be conceded. Graft thrombosis is multifactorial in nature, and venous outflow disease contributes toward a significant number of these events. Within our local cohort, a low primary patency rate was identified, which further contributes to graft interventions. Relatively small numbers were recruited, and therefore, potential correlations could have been missed.
Deep and crustal factors of thorium-uranium mineralization of the Golovanevskaya zone of Ukrainian Shield
Authors: Yaroshchuk М. А. , Vaylo А. V. , Ganevich А. Ye.
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the features of the deep and crustal structure of the Golovanevskaya zone, the geochronological sequence of the main stages of its formation. The characteristic of thorium-uranium ore occurrences and deposits is given; and the main stages of their formation. The stages of successive concentrations of uranium and thorium in connection with the processes of sedimentation, volcanism, metamorphism, ultrametamorphism, and tectonic-magmatic activation are determined.
The concentration of uranium and thorium was multi-stage and increased with each subsequent geological process. The deep and crustal sources of uranium and thorium, their ratio in the pre-ore main ore-generating stages of deposit formation are considered. It is shown that the formation of deposits became possible in the Proterozoic when neutral and alkaline water-potassium fluids replaced the deep acidic Archean fluids, and the formation of thorium-uranium rock complexes became possible in the crust. The totality of the data obtained is the basis for classifying the thorium-uranium mineralization as the metamorphogenic type.
The presence in the Golovanevskaya zone of Lozovatsky, Yuzhny, Kalinovsky deposits, and numerous thorium-uranium ore occurrences determine this zone as promising for developing the thorium-uranium raw material base of the nuclear energy of Ukraine. Thorium-uranium mineralization is also genetically typical for the Kryvyi Rih-Inguletskaya, Orekhovo-Pavlograd interblock suture zones; detailed research is needed to determine their prospects.
The confinement of thorium-uranium mineralization specifically to interblock zones is due to a combination of the following main regional features: the presence of Neoarchean thorium-uranium-bearing rock complexes; their metamorphism under conditions of granulite facies; intense ultrametamorphism; development of deep fluid-conducting faults; deep level of the erosional section, in which the products of the rare-metal and pyrite stages of thorium-uranium mineralization were exposed.
Seismic response of various sites of the territory of Kyiv to seismic loads
Authors: Kendzera O. V. , Semenova Yu. V.
Published: December 2021

The research presented in the work aims to assess the seismic response of three different taxonometric sites, identified by the method of engineering and geological analogies within the territory of Kyiv, to seismic loads with different spectral content and peak amplitude from 0.01 g to 0.06 g. Assessment of the influence of local soil conditions on the intensity of earthquakes is an important task of earthquake-resistant design and construction. The soil layer at the base of the study site acts as a filter on seismic vibrations. It amplifies or attenuates the amplitude of the seismic wave propagating from the bedrock to the free surface. The paper considers the mechanisms of the possible amplification of seismic motions by various soil complexes and methods for calculating the seismic response to seismic loads of various intensities. As an analytical tool for analyzing the response of the taxonometric areas to seismic vibrations (seismic response), an equivalent linear analysis was used, which is comprehensively studied and widely used in engineering seismology. For the selected sites, models of soil strata were built, and graphs of changes with depth of peak shear strain and peak ground acceleration (PGA) were calculated, as well as predicted (expected with a given probability of non-exceeding) amplitude Fourier spectra of seismic motions in the upper layer and the response spectra of single oscillators with 5 % attenuation to seismic effects with a maximum amplitude from 0.01 g to 0.06 g. A comparative analysis of the change in the value of these parameters in individual sections of Kyiv is presented. It is shown that to assess the potential hazard from seismic ground motions during earthquakes, it is necessary to use the maximum number of design parameters that characterize the seismic hazard of specific areas and which are used to determine the seismic resistance of buildings and structures. The most complete seismic hazard for calculating the seismic stability of objects is set by the full vector of seismic motions deployed in time: calculated accelerograms, seismograms and velocigrams. The presented calculation results are planned to be used in solving methodological and practical problems of earthquake protection, which can be realized in different parts of the territory of Kyiv.

Authors: Ferreira Cézar Isamary Roberta , CRUSOÉ NILMA MARGARIDA DE CASTRO
Published: December 2021

Este artigo objetiva apresentar resultados da pesquisa sobre prática pedagógica, mais especificamente, sobre os motivos que os levaram a tornarem-se professores bem como os sentidos que atribuem aos elementos que compõem à sua prática, nos anos finais do ensino fundamental. A Fenomenologia de Alfred Schutz (2012) é a base teórico-metodológica que sustenta e ampara este trabalho. Para a produção e análise dos dados utilizou-se da entrevista semiestruturada e da Análise de Conteúdo. Sobre a motivação para a docência, tem-se os seguintes resultados: memórias da infância, projeções quanto à possibilidade de exercício futuro da profissão e o gosto por ensinar desenvolvido por meio da prática de ensinar. Acerca dos elementos que compõem a prática pedagógica, os professores conceituam educação, escola, currículo e prática pedagógica numa perspectiva relacional. Os sentidos atribuídos à educação transcendem o universo escolar, é compreendida como ação social e constitui-se um processo que envolve toda a vida, com isso anunciam, que entendem a escola como um espaço-tempo de interação social e cultural, motivado pelo enredamento da prática pedagógica. A perspectiva de currículo nos discursos revela desde uma compreensão tradicional à visão crítica. Entende-se que na perspectiva da fenomenologia sociológica, tais sentidos atravessam a prática realizada pelos professores, nessa escola. Outro aspecto importante, os resultados obtidos na pesquisa permitem perspectivar a prática pedagógica com base na experiência intersubjetiva.

Lumpang Batu dan Batu Dakon di Kabupaten Lebak Banten: Indikasi Bercocok Tanam Masa Lampau
Authors: Laili Nurul
Published: December 2021

Lebak Regency is an area in the southern part of Banten Province which is fertile and dominated by agricultural land. The condition of Lebak in the past based on archaeological remains, especially megalithic remains, shows traces of farming. The traces of the megalithic remains in the form of mortars and dakon stones were obtained at three sites, namely the Gunung Anakan site, the Parigi Lebakbinong site, and the Pasir Nangka site. The problem raised in this paper is what is the function of the mortar stone and dakon stone for supporting communities in Lebak Banten. Knowledge of the function of mortar and dakon stone will be able to reconstruct the role of mortar and dakon stone in the past related to farming. This paper uses descriptive analytical methods and inductive reasoning with a material culture approach. The existence of mortar and dakon stone indicates subsistence based on agriculture or farming.
ALGUNAS OBSERVACIONES SOBRE EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DEL ADVERBIO “DIZQUE”, UN ELEMENTO DE DISCONTINUIDAD DIACRÓNICA Y DIATÓPICA EN ESPAÑOL
Authors: DUȚĂ Oana-Adriana
Published: December 2021

Some Observations Regarding the Functioning of the Adverb dizque, an Element of Diachronic and Diatopic Discontinuity in Spanish. The adverb dizque lies at the core of a double discontinuity in the landscape of the Spanish language. On the one hand, it marks a diachronic discontinuity, as its modal-epistemic and pragmatic values have developed significantly since the 13th century, when it was first registered in Old Spanish, with the evidential-reportative meaning that stems from its etymology. On the other hand, dizque is affected by a diatopic discontinuity, as it is becoming obsolete in the Iberian Peninsula, but is extremely productive in Hispanic American varieties. This paper traces the evolution of the modal and discursive values of dizque and observes its syntactic behaviour by means of a corpus analysis, concluding that, in today’s Hispanic American Spanish, this adverb has reinforced this position in the left periphery, either as a sentence modifier or as a constituent modifier, with clearly established syntactic peculiarities.
REZUMAT. Câteva observații privind funcționarea adverbului dizque, un element de discontinuitate diacronică și diatopică în spaniolă. Adverbul dizque stă la baza unei duble discontinuități în panorama limbii spaniole. Pe de o parte, el marchează o discontinuitate diacronică, valorile sale modalo-epistemice și pragmatice dezvoltându-se semnificativ față de secolul al XIII-lea, când este înregistrat pentru prima dată în spaniola veche cu sensul evidențialo-citațional ce rezultă din etimologia sa. Pe de altă parte, dizque este afectat de o discontinuitate diatopică, aproape ieșind din uz în Peninsula Iberică, dar fiind extrem de productiv în varietățile hispano-americane. Lucrarea de față urmărește evoluția valorilor modale și discursive ale lui dizque și observă comportamentul semantic al acestui lexem printr-o analiză de corpus concluzionând că, în spaniola hispano-americană actuală, el și-a consolidat poziția în periferia stângă, putând determina atât o propoziție întreagă, cât și un singur constituent și prezentând particularități sintactice bine stabilite.

CONTINUIDAD Y DISCONTINUIDAD EN LA TRANSMISIÓN DE LAS PALABRAS PATRIMONIALES COMPETIDAS POR ARABISMOS: “OLIVA Y ACEITUNA, OLIO Y ACEITE, OLIVO Y ACEITUNO”
Authors: ENĂCHESCU Mihai
Published: December 2021

Continuity and Discontinuity in the Transmission of Spanish Inherited Words Competed by Arabisms: oliva and aceituna, olio and aceite, olivo and aceituno. The loss and replacement of Arabisms by Latin loanwords was a frequent phenomenon between the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries; the opposite movement, the replacement of an inherited word by an Arabism is far less frequent. Oliva, an inherited word, is competed by the Arabism aceituna; currently the common name for the fruit in the Hispanic world is aceituna, and oliva has a restricted use to the phrase aceite de oliva or to refer to a colour. Similarly, the inherited word olio will be replaced by aceite, and with a specialized meaning will be eliminated by the euphuism óleo, its etymological doublet. On the other hand, olivo prevails over aceituno and represents a special case of continuity in this lexical family. The research will be carried out in two directions: first, I will analyse the old academic dictionaries and other specialized dictionaries and glossaries from the fifteenth-twentieth centuries. Second, I will conduct a corpus analysis, based on the diachronic corpora available for the Spanish language. This study will try to answer the questions how? and why? of these neological movements of vocabulary.
REZUMAT. Continuitate și discontinuitate în transmiterea cuvintelor moștenite din spaniolă concurate de arabisme: oliva și aceituna, olio și aceite, olivo și aceituno. Dispariția și înlocuirea arabismelor cu împrumuturi latinești este un fenomen frecvent între secolele XV și XVII; mișcarea contrară, substituirea unui cuvânt moștenit cu un arabism este mult mai puțin frecventă.  Oliva, cuvânt moștenit, este concurat de arabismul aceituna; în prezent denumirea uzuală pentru fruct în lumea hispanică este aceituna, iar oliva cunoaște un uz restrâns la sintagma aceite de oliva sau pentru a se referi la o culoare. În mod analog, cuvântul moștenit olio va fi înlocuit de aceite, și cu un semnificat specializat va fi eliminat de cultismul óleo, dubletul său etimologic. Pe de altă parte, olivo se impune în fața lui aceituno și reprezintă un caz special de continuitate în această familie lexicală. Cercetarea se va desfășura în două direcții: în primul rând, vom analiza dicționarele academice vechi și alte dicționare specializate și glosare din secolele XV-XX. În al doilea rând, vom face o analiză de corpus, bazată pe corpusurile diacronice disponibile pentru limba spaniolă. Acest studiu va încerca să răspundă la întrebările cum? și de ce? ale acestor mișcări neologice ale vocabularului.

FALSOS AMIGOS EN RUMANO Y ESPAÑOL EN TITULARES DE LA PRENSA RUMANA EN LÍNEA DE ESPAÑA
Authors: MORARU Sanda-Valeria
Published: December 2021

False Friends between Romanian and Spanish in the Headlines of the Online Romanian Journals in Spain. As they are historically related languages, Romanian and Spanish share more than two hundred false friends (for example: amar ≠ amar, but amargo; nervos ≠ nervioso, but enfadado; a se apropia ≠ apropiarse, but acercarse etc.). So far, few studies have been written related to this type of lexical phenomenon between Romanian and Spanish and most of them are linked to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. Until decades ago, Romanian and Spanish were not in direct contact, due to the location of the two countries at the margins of Europe, but since the massive immigration of Romanian to Spain in the 1990s, we can speak of direct contact and interference between these languages. I opted for the analysis of this type of phenomenon in the headlines of the Romanian press that is published online by and for the immigrant community who lives in Spain. I will investigate to what extent this aspect is reflected in the headlines which present the Romanian political, economic, social and cultural reality within a period of six months, between the 1st of July and 31st of December 2020. The newspapers which I will refer to are the following: ziarulromanesc.es, romanul.eu, periodicoelrumano.es, noiinspania.com and occidentul-romanesc.com.
REZUMAT. Falși prieteni în limbile română și spaniolă în titlurile ziarelor românești online din Spania. Fiind limbi înrudite, între română și spaniolă există mai mult de două sute de falși prieteni (de exemplu: amar ≠ amar, ci amargo; nervos ≠ nervioso, ci enfadado; a se apropia ≠ apropiarse, ci acercarse etc.). Până în prezent s-au publicat doar câteva studii referitoare la acest tip de fenomen lexical privitoare la limbile română și spaniolă, majoritatea axându-se pe didactica limbii spaniole ca limbă străină, fiind vorba despre un fenomen inerent în procesul de învățare a unei limbi străine. Până în urmă cu câteva decenii, româna și spaniola nu au fost în contact direct, din cauza situației geografice, țările situându-se la extremitatea Europei, dar în urma masivei migrații a românilor spre Spania începând cu anii `90 ai secolului XX, putem vorbi despre contact direct și interferențe între cele două limbi. Am ales să analizăm acest fenomen lexical în titlurile ziarelor românești care se publică on-line pentru comunitatea de imigranți din Spania. Vom vedea în ce măsură se reflectă acest aspect în titlurile care fac referire la realitatea politică, economică, socială și culturală din România timp de șase luni, între 1 de iulie și 31 decembrie 2020. Ziarele la care vom face referire sunt următoarele: ziarulromanesc.es, romanul.eu, periodicoelrumano.es, noiinspania.com and occidentul-romanesc.com.

Objectives and Requirements for the IGCSE, AS and A Level in Some Coursebooks Designed for These Exams. The IGCSE, AS and A level Spanish exams are exams of different language levels that belong to the Cambridge curriculum. Romanian students and not only, in some private secondary schools, can choose either this type of exam or the national high school exam, both of which offer the possibility of university entrance. In addition to the syllabus, Cambridge provides teachers and students with materials for preparation, assessment and self-assessment. Likewise, teachers have training courses and interaction with other teachers. The Cambridge coursebooks used in a private school in Romania, Transylvania College, are analyzed, the purpose of this study being to observe how they are reflected and if the objectives and requirements of the curriculum are met in the content of the manuals studied. Regarding the content and activities proposed in the manuals, we intend to check how they meet the needs of the students and finally, how they prepare them for those exams.

Elevii români, dar și de alte naționalități, din diferite școli private, pot alege fie acest tip de examen, fie examenul național de Bacalaureat, ambele oferind posibilitatea accesului la universitate. Pe lângă programă, Cambridge pune la dispoziția profesorilor și a elevilor materiale pentru pregătire, evaluare și autoevaluare. În același timp, profesorii dispun de cursuri de formare și interacțiune cu alți profesori. Manualele Cambridge utilizate într-o școală privată din România, Transylvania College, au fost analizate, scopul acestui studiu fiind de a observa modul în care acestea sunt reflectate și dacă obiectivele și cerințele curriculumului sunt îndeplinite în conținutul manualelor studiate. În ceea ce privește conținutul și activitățile propuse în manuale, intenționăm să verificăm cum satisfac nevoile elevilor și, în cele din urmă, cum îi pregătesc pentru examenele menționate.

‘TO SPEAK OF CATTLE IS TO SPEAK OF MAN’: ANTHROPARCHAL INTERACTIONS IN JOHN CONNELL’S “THE FARMER’S SON”
Authors: PARASCHIV Paul Mihai
Published: December 2021

“To speak of cattle is to speak of man”: Anthroparchal Interactions in John Connell’s The Farmer’s Son. The present paper intends to build a critique of contemporary farming practices, based on Erika Cudworth’s theory of “anthroparchy.” By exemplifying how anthroparchal interactions function in John Connell’s memoir, I will outline the becoming of a posthuman farmer that awakens certain sensibilities towards nonhuman animals, in ways that compel a rethinking of gendered relations, patriarchy, violence, and capitalist interests. The analysis provides a needed insight into recent developments in Irish rural farming, detailing the position of the human subject in relation to nonhuman otherness and describing some of the changes that need to be made regarding the power relations that are at work within patriarchal systems. To this extent, Cudworth’s theoretical framework and Connell’s memoir are proven to be contributing to the necessary restructuring of farming practices and of human-nonhuman interactions.
REZUMAT. „A vorbi despre bovine înseamnă a vorbi despre om”: Interacțiuni antroparhice în The Farmer’s Son de John Connell. Prezenta lucrare intenționează să construiască o critică a practicilor agricole contemporane, bazată pe teoria "antroparhiei" formulată de către Erika Cudworth. Exemplificând modul în care interacțiunile antroparhiale funcționează în memoriile lui John Connell, voi contura procesul de devenire a unui fermier postuman care reușește să trezească anumite sensibilități față de animalele nonumane, în moduri care ne obligă să regândim relațiile de gen, patriarhatul, violența și interesele capitaliste. Analiza oferă o perspectivă necesară asupra dezvoltărilor recente din agricultura rurală irlandeză, detaliind poziția subiectului uman în raport cu alteritatea nonumană și descriind unele dintre schimbările care trebuie făcute în ceea ce privește relațiile de putere care se desfășoară în cadrul sistemelor patriarhale. În această măsură, cadrul teoretic al lui Cudworth și memoriile lui Connell pot contribui la restructurarea necesară a practicilor agricole și a interacțiunilor uman-nonuman.

Nuevas formas de participación laboral femenina. Las trabajadoras cualificadas en Jaén (1935)
Authors: Gómez Fernández Ana Belén
Published: December 2021

El objetivo es analizar en el primer tercio del siglo XX a través del mercado laboral de la ciudad de Jaén como el desarrollo del sector servicios fue el principal motor económico para la incorporación y presencia de mujeres en escuelas, hospitales y oficinas. El importante crecimiento de profesionales de la enseñanza como maestras y profesoras; de la sanidad como enfermeras y matronas principalmente; y su paulatina incorporación en el trabajo de oficina como empleadas, telegrafistas, telefonistas, mecanógrafas, escribientes, etc. fue sintomático de un cambio de gran trascendencia debido a la incorporación esencialmente de mujeres de clase media al trabajo.
Dueñas, un “lugar muy pasaxero” en pleno Camino Real de Burgos: visitas y festividades regias a lo largo del Antiguo Régimen (1470–1860)
Authors: Pajares González Álvaro , Quijada Álamo Diego
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo analiza algunos de los acontecimientos reales más destacados que acontecieron en la villa de Dueñas mediante un recorrido histórico trazado a lo largo del Antiguo Régimen. Por un lado, atendiendo a su privilegiada ubicación en pleno Camino Real de Burgos, abordaremos las presencias regias en la villa a través de las visitas y paradas efectuadas por los reyes y miembros de la familia real. Por otro lado, nos centraremos en el estudio de los modelos celebrativos, entendidos como mecanismos de legitimación y exaltación de la monarquía, que se pusieron en práctica en esta localidad castellana. Profundizaremos, así, en los aspectos relacionados con el protocolo y desarrollo de las ceremonias, su puesta en escena y significado, así como la tipología de los regocijos, cuestiones todas ellas muy relevantes en la construcción de la imagen del poder y de las instituciones que lo ejercían.
Aprendiendo a servir en hospitales por una dote: Prolegómenos del aprendizaje femenino juvenil de un oficio en hospitales sevillanos en el Antiguo Régimen Español
Authors: Rivasplata Varillas Paula Ermila
Published: December 2021

Este articulo trata de una realidad desconocida, pero practicada en algunos hospitales castellanos, que fue la entrega de dotes matrimoniales a sus criadas. El problema que plantea el artículo es determinar por qué aparecieron las dotes por trabajo y por qué los fundadores de hospitales no crearon dotes para sus trabajadoras y preferían entregar dotes a mujeres huérfanas y pobres en las distintas cofradías creadas para tal fin. En Sevilla, uno de los primeros hospitales que se tiene constancia que entregó dotes a sus trabajadoras fue el hospital de San Hermenegildo y pronto le siguió el hospital de las Cinco Llagas, ambos hospitales compartían dos de sus patronos. De los patronatos creados en estos hospitales para obras pías, solo uno en cada uno de ellos fue creado para dotar a las criadas que trabajaban en tales hospitales. Los otros patronatos lo dejaron a voluntad de sus autoridades. Finalmente se propone conocer las diferencias y  funciones que cumplieron las jóvenes que trabajaron para obtener las dotes y el proceso para conseguirlo dentro de estos emblemáticos hospitales andaluces durante el Antiguo Régimen.
Consumo de cerámicas sevillanas en Asturias durante la Edad Moderna
Authors: Busto Zapico Miguel
Published: December 2021

Esta investigación estudia 919 piezas cerámicas sevillanas procedentes de 36 excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en Asturias (España). La metodología empleada ha clasificado la cerámica en diferentes producciones, grupos funcionales, series y tipologías, tomando como base la literatura precedente. Se ha creado una base de datos y un sistema de información geográfica que recoge variables de cada una de las piezas. Estos datos nos han permitido ofrecer, por primera vez, una estimación del consumo de cerámica sevillana en el norte de la península ibérica durante la Edad Moderna. Se trata de un proceso dinámico sometido a vicisitudes políticas y económicas.
Las lenguas indígenas y los jesuitas. El P. Luis de Valdivia al rescate del mapudungun, allentiac y el millcayac
Authors: Page Carlos Alberto
Published: December 2021

El jesuita Luis de Valdivia pasó sus últimos días en Valladolid después de haber transitado una intensa vida en América. Es el objetivo del presente trabajo avanzar en el conocimiento histórico de los libros lingüísticos del granadino, sin abordar el tema desde una perspectiva filológica ni lingüística. Ofrecemos un panorama del contexto e importancia que tuvieron las lenguas indígenas para los jesuitas y en especial la obra de este singular personaje que comprendió que el estudio de las lenguas era, en este caso, un camino para alcanzar una paz que lamentablemente nunca llegó. Estos textos fueron en consecuencia, fundamentales a la hora de emprender las primeras misiones entre los araucanos y huarpes.
Más allá del medievalismo y el arabismo: Al-Ándalus en perspectiva poscolonial
Authors: García Fernández Javier
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo pretende contribuir a superar las visiones eurocéntricas y occidentalistas del estudio sobre Al-Ándalus mediante el análisis crítico de dos disciplinas: el medievalismo y el arabismo. En la primera parte se describe el medievalismo como un ejercicio de occidentalismo; en la segunda se examina el arabismo español como una mirada proveniente del mundo colonial francés. Al final se incorporan algunas aportaciones de la teoría decolonial latinoamericana y de la corriente del medievalismo poscolonial anglosajón para situar ciertas líneas de análisis y reflexión que convocan a una mirada poscolonial y no eurocéntrica del fenómeno andalusí.
La mirada hacia el sol naciente: vínculos entre las estéticas de Juan García Ponce y Jun’ichirō Tanizaki
Authors: Saldaña Moncada David Issai
Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se comparan las manifestaciones literarias del erotismo en De ánima (1984), del escritor mexicano Juan García Ponce, y La llave (Kagi 1956), del autor japonés Jun’ichirō Tanizaki. Con base en un acercamiento previo de García Ponce a la literatura japonesa, se plantea un análisis de los alcances del orientalismo en la perspectiva del narrador mexicano, enfocado particularmente en el diálogo entre visiones del erotismo con Tanizaki. Abordar la perspectiva luminosa del erotismo de García Ponce permite evocar la sombra que representa la estética de su homólogo japonés, pues ambas se abocan a la exploración del deseo con una mirada que desdibuja las convenciones sociales. El contraste entre las obras mostrará cómo la apertura directa hacia el otro desde el ámbito artístico es una forma de problematizar las dinámicas de recepción orientalistas en América Latina.
La vicepresidencia en América como desafío a la democracia representativa: los casos de Estados Unidos, Brasil y Argentina
Authors: Sribman Mittelman Ariel
Published: December 2021

A partir de la tercera ola de democratización, la ciencia política ha debatido extensamente el desempeño del presidencialismo en América Latina y sus efectos sobre la estabilidad democrática. Sin embargo, ese debate dejó al margen una figura clave: la vicepresidencia. El objetivo del presente artículo es reflexionar sobre este cargo, presente prácticamente en toda América, como desafío al carácter representativo de la democracia, entroncando con el debate existente sobre el presidencialismo y la estabilidad política de las democracias americanas. A partir de tres casos, Brasil, Argentina y Estados Unidos, se plantea el carácter fijo (no removible por el presidente) y los mecanismos previstos para su elección como factores que merman el carácter representativo de la vicepresidencia, generando inestabilidad y déficit de legitimidad del Ejecutivo. De lo anterior se concluye la necesidad de introducir reformas en la vicepresidencia o considerar su sustitución por otro método sucesorio.
El regionalismo sudamericano y el giro a la desintegración: algunas reflexiones
Authors: Lilia Pasquariello Mariano Karina , Carvalho Neves Bárbara
Published: December 2021

El inicio de la segunda década del siglo xxi representó retrocesos en los impulsos regionalistas latinoamericanos y estuvo marcado por el desmantelamiento de Unasur, la parálisis de alba y problemas en la Celac y en el Mercosur. Gran parte de los estudios sobre el tema apuntan las tensiones en estos mecanismos regionales como resultado de múltiples factores coyunturales, como la muerte del presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez, el aumento gradual de la grieta política en Brasil y Argentina, especialmente a partir del impeachment brasileño y el “giro a la derecha” en la región, así como la ampliación de la presencia de actores extrarregionales como China y Estados Unidos. A partir de un análisis procesual e institucional, este artículo discute cómo las instituciones regionales sudamericanas reaccionaron a los periodos de crisis actuales. Se argumenta que el desmantelamiento de Unasur no es simplemente resultado de los cambios sistémicos del periodo, sino que es un reflejo de la trayectoria institucional latinoamericana y de sus antecedentes críticos. A su vez, se concluye que el contexto histórico puede ser la oportunidad que estimula la desintegración latinoamericana, pero no su causa.

Nine areas, totalling 1.3ha were excavated after evaluation and desk-based assessment at land near Crowdhill, Eastleigh (NGR 448830 119560). Features were densest in Areas 1 and 2, with evidence dating from the Palaeolithic to the early Romano- British period. Three pieces of flint
from a Long Blade assemblage were recovered, probably from a small localised scatter. A core tool rough-out, probably for a Mesolithic tranchet axe, was found in a pit with charred hazelnut shells from which two radiocarbon dates were obtained. Two cremation graves, each containing urned deposits,
and an urned 'cenotaph' provide information about the inhabitants of the area although contemporary settlement evidence is lacking. By the Late Bronze Age there was evidence for settlement in the form of a pit containing flint-tempered pottery, worked flint and burnt flint along with charred
cereal grain. A radiocarbon date was obtained on charred cereal grain from this pit confirming its age. There was sparse evidence for occupation in the late prehistoric period but by the early Romano-British period a number of ditches and intercutting pits as well as artefactual material (pottery,
ceramic building material, fired clay and saddle quern fragments) indicates the presence of a small rural settlement in the vicinity of the site.

La reciente propuesta de una nueva era geológica denominada Antropoceno a partir del año 1950, en donde el Homo sapiens es el principal actor le ha dado a las ciencias humanas y sociales la posibilidad de discutir y contribuir en su adecuada definición, más allá del golden spike que se pueda emplear. Nuestro interés es mostrar que estamos frente a un proceso que arranca, quizás, hace 10.000-8.000 años y que los humanos, a través de nuestra capacidad de generar rápidamente nuevos nichos en diferentes dimensiones espacio temporales, hemos ido incrementado su aceleración con el paso del tiempo.

En el presente artículo planteamos que la composición musical en el sistema de producción musical concreto-acusmático -o tercer sistema de producción musical-, puede ser considerada una práctica musical cognitivamente extendida. Esta afirmación se desprende de que en este sistema, compositor y dispositivo de producción se ensamblan, configurando un sistema acoplado funcional. Para evidenciar la forma en que este acoplamiento puede operar, estudiamos el caso paradigmático del compositor chileno José Vicente Asuar en relación a su experiencia con el dispositivo computacional de producción creado por él mismo, el COMDASUAR. Este estudio fue realizado a través del análisis de la experiencia en primera persona, del compositor con el dispositivo COMDASUAR en la práctica de composición.
An exploratory test of an intuitive evaluation method of perceived argument strength
Authors: Hornikx Jos , Weerman Annemarie , Hoeken Hans
Published: December 2021

According to Mercier and Sperber (2009, 2011, 2017), people have an immediate and intuitive feeling about the strength of an argument. These intuitive evaluations are not captured by current evaluation methods of argument strength, yet they could be important to predict the extent to which people accept the claim supported by the argument. In an exploratory study, therefore, a newly developed intuitive evaluation method to assess argument strength was compared to an explicit argument strength evaluation method (the PAS scale; Zhao et al., 2011), on their ability to predict claim acceptance (predictive validity) and on their sensitivity to differences in the manipulated quality of arguments (construct validity). An experimental study showed that the explicit argument strength evaluation performed well on the two validity measures. The intuitive evaluation measure, on the other hand, was not found to be valid. Suggestions for other ways of constructing and testing intuitive evaluation measures are presented.

Congenital chylothorax is an uncommon condition but represents the main cause of congenital pleural effusion during the neonatal period. It usually appears before birth, both as an isolated disorder or in association with hydrops fetalis, negatively affecting the subsequent neonatal outcome. Prenatal treatment is usually considered to ensure a satisfactory lung development in case of moderate to severe pleural effusion or in the presence of hydrops, although consensus on treatment timing and modalities has not been reached to date. Both medical and surgical therapeutic strategies are available to treat this condition and novel treatment options have been recently attempted with acceptable results in both prenatal and post-natal setting. The heterogeneous clinical presentation of congenital chylothorax together with its rarity, its numerous etiologies and the absence of a highly effective treatment renders the diagnostic and therapeutic approach difficult to standardize. In addition, adequate visualization of the lymphatic system is complex, especially in small neonates, although new promising techniques have been developed lately and may contribute to improved management of this serious but infrequent condition. This review focuses on the current evidence base for the diagnosis and treatment options for congenital chylothorax, suggesting a rational diagnostic and therapeutic approach both in the prenatal and in the neonatal period.
SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CYST OF THE CANAL OF NUCK AND PREVENTION OF LYMPHATIC COMPLICATIONS: A SINGLE-CENTER EXPERIENCE
Authors: Cornacchia C , Dessalvi S , Boccardo F
Published: December 2021

The canal of Nuck is a residue of the peritoneal evagination that runs along the round ligament through the inguinal canal in women. Its partial or total patency can lead to a cystic lymphangioma (CL). CL of the canal of Nuck in an adult female is a rare entity and its clinical diagnosis can be difficult or incorrect. Ultrasonography can be useful to identify the nature of groin masses. A potential CL of the canal of Nuck should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of inguinal swelling in adult females. Even if it is possible to consider conservative treatment, the optimal therapeutic option is surgical excision of the cystic mass and closure of the inguinal ring by an anterior approach. In this study, we report a case series of four women affected by a cyst of the canal of Nuck to underline the surgical treatment's therapeutic role of this pathological condition and the importance of preliminary identification of lymphatic vessels with BPV (Blue Patent Violet) in order to prevent lymphatic injuries such as lymphorrea and lymphocele in the groin after surgery due to the disruption of inguinal lymph nodes and lymphatics.

One of the main obstacles to studying the pathophysiology of lymphedema development is the lack of appropriate experimental models. Following up on a mouse-tail method that has been described, we performed changes to the method which made it easier to perform in our hands and demonstrated similar results. Twenty C57Black mice were operated on using the previous technique and euthanized after 3 or 6 weeks. Another twenty mice were submitted to the new technique developed in our laboratory and euthanized at the same time points. Tissue samples were collected from the proximal part of the tail (control) and from the distal part (lymphedema) for both models. Animals in both operative groups developed marked edema in the distal part of the tail. This was characterized by lymph vessels dilation, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and adipose tissue deposition. Lymphedema was detected after 3 weeks in both models, reaching its maximum after 6 weeks. Adipocytes detected by histology (Oil red O staining) and molecular markers for adipogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and inflammation (lipin 1 and 2, SLP76, and F4-80) were demonstrated to be increased equally in both models. In conclusion, both models provide a reliable method to study lymphedema pathophysiology. However, our modified technique is easier and faster to perform while still providing reliable and consistent results.

SKIN LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION – REVIEW AND CRITIQUE
Authors: Chachaj A , Szuba A
Published: December 2021

Although numerous studies have confirmed the relationship between high salt intake and elevated blood pressure, the exact molecular mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. There is growing evidence that skin interstitium, as well as the skin lymphatic system, are important regulators of both sodium (Na+) balance and blood pressure. Skin is in itself a large reservoir of Na+ ions which are stored in an osmotically inactive form on glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Local hypertonicity due to extensive accumulation of Na+ within the skin as a result of a high-salt diet was demonstrated to induce macrophages to express a transcription factor termed tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (TonEBP) and subsequently to secrete vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), activating lymphangiogenesis within the skin. This regulatory axis seems to be adaptive in maintaining blood pressure in high salt-load states. Recent studies have added new insights into the functioning of lymphatic vessels and the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension as well as questioned the classic view of Na+ homeostasis. This review aims to summarize recent findings pertaining to the involvement of the skin lymphatic system in Na+ and blood pressure regulation.
PHYSICAL THERAPY AFFECTS ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION IN LYMPHEDEMA PATIENTS

Lymphedema arises due to a malfunction of the lymphatic system and can lead to massive tissue swelling. Complete decongestive therapy (CDT), consisting of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and compression bandaging, is aimed at mobilizing fluid and reducing volume in affected extremities. Lymphatic dysfunction has previously been associated with chronic inflammation processes. We investigated plasma ADMA as an indicator of endothelial function/inflammation before-, during- and after-CDT. Also assessed were vascular function parameters such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWVcf), flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and retinal microvasculature analysis. 13 patients (3 males and 10 females, 57 ± 8 years old (mean ± SD), 167.2 ± 8.3 cm height, 91.0 ± 23.5 kg weight), with lower limb lymphedema were included. Vascular function parameters were assessed on day 1, 2, 7, 14 and 21 of CDT, pre- and post-MLD. ADMA was significantly lower post-MLD (p=0.0064) and tended to reduce over three weeks of therapy (p=0.0506). PWVcf weakly correlated with FMD (r=0.361, p=0.010). PWVcf, FMD and retinal microvasculature analysis did not show changes due to physical therapy. The novel results from this study indicate that lymphedema does not affect endothelial function and lymphedema patients may therefore not have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Our results further suggest that manual lymphatic drainage with or without full CDT could have potentially beneficial effects on endothelial function in lymphedema patients (by reducing ADMA levels), which has not been reported previously.
