Rokycanský rodák, paleontolog, učitel a sběratel v časopise Nature
Authors: Bruthansová Jana , Kraft Petr
Published: December 2024

During his short life, Karel Holub, together with his father Karel Holub Sr. (a tannery worker), assembled an extensive collection of fossils from the Bohemian Lower and Middle Ordovician. Due to his poor living conditions, he was unable to study palaeontology and instead became a teacher in rural small schools. Despite this, he continued to his activities in palaeontology and collaborated with leading experts of his time such as Jaroslav Perner, Celda Klouček and others. Karel Holub died shortly after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic on 14 November 1918 in Světlá pod Ještědem, where he is also buried. In his will, he bequeathed his and his father´s collection to the newly established museum in Rokycany.
Migraciones, segunda lengua y cultura de acogida: retos para transmitir la cultura en las clases de español con migrantes
Authors: Cabezón-Fernández María Jesús , Herrera Rubalcaba Daniela
Published: December 2024

La enseñanza de idiomas como segunda lengua en el contexto europeo ha avanzado considerablemente desde que se adoptara la perspectiva de la enseñanza/aprendizaje mediante la competencia comunicativa, o el desarrollo de la perspectiva intercultural como estrategia pedagógica en las sociedades diversas y globales del siglo XXI. Sin embargo, la literatura ha puesto de manifiesto que la enseñanza de una segunda lengua a migrantes y solicitantes de asilo ha lidiado con unos retos que podrían ejercer una fuerza de contención en el proceso de transformación de la sociedad de la información a la sociedad de la ciudadanía global.
Este trabajo aporta una reflexión sobre cuáles son los retos actuales que aborda el profesorado de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) con este perfil de estudiantes, y qué estrategias ponen en práctica para superarlos a partir de un trabajo empírico basado en entrevistas en profundidad y grupos de discusión realizados con profesores de español en Andalucía en 2022 en el marco del proyecto Erasmus + TOCL. Los resultados apuntan a que la mayoría de los retos pasados continúan vigentes. La diversidad sociocultural del alumnado, la falta de recursos audiovisuales para una comunicación multimodal y, sobre todo, la falta de formación en una pedagogía intercultural que les aporte herramientas para la gestión de emociones o el conocimiento sobre diversidad cultural, resultan primordiales para promover una ciudadanía global, a la que se incorporen tanto alumnos como profesionales.
Politización de la inmigración con fines electoralistas: contraste entre los programas electorales de Vox, Fratelli d’Italia y O Chega
Authors: Mariscal Ríos Alicia
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo, analizaremos el programa electoral del partido de extrema derecha Vox para las Elecciones Generales del 23J (2023) para comprobar cómo se aborda el tema de la inmigración. Los datos serán contrastados con los de otros dos partidos europeos de ideología similar: Fratelli d’Italia (Elezioni Politiche de 2022 en Italia) y O Chega (Eleições Legislativas de 2022 en Portugal). Partimos de la hipótesis de que se observarán similitudes entre ellos, asociadas a una visión negativa del fenómeno de la inmigración. Para ello, emplearemos los datos aportados por Sketch Engine. Los resultados reflejan que, si bien todos fomentan el miedo a la invasión masiva de inmigrantes, cada partido se centra en algún aspecto determinado: la asociación entre inmigración, delincuencia e inseguridad ciudadana (Vox y Fratelli d’Italia), el patriotismo y la pérdida de la identidad nacional (Vox) y el reemplazo de la población del endogrupo (O Chega).

SAMOA LANDS AND TITLES – A SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK FROM A MARKETERS VIEW
Authors:   National University of Samoa, Wright Silimana’i Pulou
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has almost shaken the fact that some people think that resources, including the food system in the Pacific, may be vulnerable in terms of self-sustaining even with extensive impacts, including the acceleration in the number of COVID-19 cases verified in some of the most reliable countries of the world in terms of trade. Key performance measures have been tact for Samoa and certainly, it affected remittances, international trade, and especially, the tourism industry which thus impacting on Samoa regarding it’s food systems and other means of support. In a worst-case scenario, prioritizing what is meant as necessity, which is basically, access to food, water, and shelter regardless the loss of incomes, for instance, to pay for the next level of needs such as cash power and likewise should be considered first. In this paper, we would like to share the fact that by living in the old traditional Samoan way in itemizing its Lands and Titles system of consuming locally produced and harvested fresh foods, not only it will contribute to sustaining Samoa’s market economy but will also contribute to bringing about a much healthier Samoa.

Authors: Öner Göknur , Okyayuz A. Şirin , Sancaktaroğlu Bozkurt Sinem
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma, yeniden çevrim olgusunu Çeviribilim bağlamında ve onun iki önemli alt alanı olan görsel-işitsel çeviri (GİÇ) ve feminist çeviribilim kesişiminde ele almakta ve özellikle The Split dizisinin Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey adlı Türkçe yeniden çevrimine odaklanmaktadır. Çalışmada, kaynak ile yeniden çevrim ürünleri karşılaştırılarak toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifinden incelenmektedir. Çalışma, çevirinin yalnızca kelimelerin bir dilden diğerine aktarılmasından ibaret olmadığını, bunun yanı sıra üreticilerin kullanabileceği çok sayıda çeviri yaklaşımı, gerçekliği ve mekânı bulunduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Dolayısıyla, görsel-işitsel ürünlere artan ilgiyle birlikte, izleyici taleplerine ve tercihlerine hitap etmek için yeni içerik ve yapım teknikleri kullanılmaktadır. Yeniden çevrimler, televizyonun en yaygın izleme platformlarından biri olduğu Türkiye de dâhil olmak üzere birçok ülkede görsel-işitsel içeriğin çevrilmesi ve aktarılması için popüler yöntem haline gelmiştir. Yeniden çevrimler temel olarak başka bir kültür tarafından üretilen görsel-işitsel içeriğin erek tüketicilerin tercihlerine ve kültürel değerlerine uyarlanarak yeni bir izleyici kitlesi için yeniden çekilmesi ve sunulmasıdır. Günümüzde Türkiye çok sayıda yeniden çevrim içerik üreten ülkelerden biri haline gelmiştir. Yeniden çevrimlerin Türk kültürünün izleme alışkanlıkları içinde görsel-işitsel ürünlerin büyük bir bölümünü oluşturduğu düşünüldüğünde, bu alışkanlıkların bu tür görsel-işitsel ürünler tarafından nasıl şekillendirilebileceği sorusu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Toplumsal cinsiyet çalışmaları, GİÇ ve yeniden çevrimler de dâhil olmak üzere Çeviribilim perspektifinden ve yaklaşımlarından yararlanan bu karşılaştırmalı incelemede söz konusu diziler çalışılırken, yeniden çevrim Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey dizisinin toplumsal cinsiyet meselelerinin, özellikle de kadınlarla ilgili olanların temsilinde önemli değişikliklerle üretildiği belirtilebilir. Çalışmanın yönteminde Katerina Perdikaki'nin (2017) film uyarlamalarını göstergelerarası çeviri olarak inceleyen modeli benimsenecektir. Sonuç bölümünde, Türk kültürüne ait yeniden çevrim dizilerindeki toplumsal cinsiyet temelli değişimler ve bu değişimlerin olası nedenleri sunulacaktır. Böylece, incelenen iki kültür arasında toplumsal cinsiyet konularına ilişkin kültürel bakış açılarındaki farklılık vurgulanarak popüler bir yeniden çevrimden örneklerle bu konuların nasıl ele alındığına dair son eğilimler gösterilecektir.

The strength of firms in the sharing economy is that they use resources without owning them. However, as more firms enter the market, access to these resources becomes more difficult. In such circumstances, the focus of this paper is on start-ups and supporting their competitiveness in the market environment, and how to stay noticed and circumvent “critical mass” problems to survive. This will help to see the broad scope of this phenomenon in a new way, the benefits for startups and established companies. The authors note that startups in the collaborative consumption economy initially face the same challenges as startups in other markets. As results, provisions are highlighted to familiarize managers with the reasons for failure and success of startups, their mechanisms of competition in the market environment. Taking these provisions into account will help startups to transform their business models towards greater resilience to the risks of competition. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of objectivity and systematic scientific analysis and synthesis, based on general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition: formal-logical, structural-systemic. Based on the previous studies, the paper offers recommendations on how to maintain the value of business models of startups in the sharing economy, taking into account the fact that they face certain risks. The main conclusion of the article is that startups are currently realizing original rethinking of traditional value creation architectures through the active use of innovative trends that are not limited to the tourism, mobility and human resources sectors, thus expanding the competitive environment of the sharing economy. At the same time, succeeding in the sharing economy with your startup means building a business model based on trust, authenticity and transparency towards customers.

Published: December 2024

La agroecología se ha consolidado como una de las estrategias más ampliamente adoptadas en el sector agrícola para fomentar un manejo sostenible del campo, siendo la conservación del recurso suelo uno de sus principios fundamentales. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar las características físicas y químicas del suelo en parcelas manejadas con prácticas agroecológicas frente a aquellas bajo un manejo agrícola intensivo, con el fin de evaluar el impacto de cada tipo de gestión en la calidad del suelo. La investigación se llevó a cabo durante el año 2023 en cuatro parcelas agrícolas situadas en San Felipe del Progreso, Estado de México. La parcela agroecológica 1 se encuentra dentro del campus de la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de México, mientras que la parcela intensiva 2 está ubicada justo al lado, pero fuera del campus. Por otro lado, la parcela agroecológica 2 y la intensiva 1 se localizan en Santa Cruz Mextepec. En estas parcelas, se midieron las características físicas y químicas del suelo en dos momentos diferentes. Las propiedades físicas de las cuatro parcelas resultaron ser bastante similares, destacándose principalmente la estructura del suelo, que se refiere a la organización y disposición de sus partículas. En lo que respecta a las propiedades químicas, los sitios gestionados bajo prácticas agroecológicas mostraron valores significativamente más altos en comparación con aquellos manejados intensivamente. La comparación entre las características físicas y químicas del suelo revela que la implementación de ciertas prácticas agroecológicas, junto con un uso eficiente de fertilizantes químicos, contribuye a mejorar la calidad del suelo.

El virus de inmunodeficiencia humana fue identificado en el año 1980, secundario a una neumonía difícil, dicha neumonía la presentaban poblaciones con inmunodeficiencia, la cual se creía que estaba restringida a un pequeño grupo de riesgo, en 1984 se identifica el agente causal de este virus y en 1985 ya se contaba con la primer prueba ELISA para su detección, secundaria al estudio de esta enfermedad se demostró su mecanismo de trasmisión a través del contacto sexual, sangre y vía perinatal.  Existen dos tipos de virus, en el continente americano predomina el VIH tipo 1 (VIH-1) en el continente africano es autóctono el VIH tipo 2 (VIH-2). Este virus se ha convertido en uno de los virus más estudiados y con ello se ha modificado favorablemente le esperanza de vida para las personas con VIH, secundario a la suma de éxito en el control de la enfermedad se propone que el seguimiento se en primer nivel de atención. La incidencia global de VIH ha disminuido lentamente pese a los grandes avances en las estrategias de prevención en la transmisión del VIH. Las nuevas infecciones se han reducido en un 54% desde el pico máximo en 1996 y un 32% desde 2010. Las infecciones oportunistas se han identificado como infecciones graves o mayormente frecuentes secundario a la inmunosupresión por el HIV. El reconocimiento de las manifestaciones clínicas es fundamental para determinar el diagnóstico del síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA), estas manifestaciones clínicas ocurren en promedio de 7 a 10 años posterior a la exposición al virus. La mortalidad en personas con VIH ha mejorado en las últimas décadas esta mejora se relaciona con amplia disponibilidad y a la mejora de la eficacia y la seguridad del TAR, a la optimización del tiempo para conseguir la supresión virológica y la recuperación inmunológica, y al seguimiento específico de comorbilidades en las personas con VIH.

Helicobacter pylori is a common cause of gastritis, affecting up to 80% of individuals in developing countries. IL-33 and IL-17 are potential inflammatory markers for gastritis caused by H. pylori compared with other types of gastritis. This study aimed to evaluate IL-33 and IL-17 levels in patients with gastritis and apparently healthy individuals. A total of 125 subjects were included in the study. For 100 patients with gastritis, a urease test followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to confirm H. pylori infection, whereas 25 healthy controls tested negative for H. pylori antigen via rapid stool test. All participants attended the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) Center at Al Hussain Teaching Hospital between December 2022 and May 2023. IL-33 and IL-17 levels were measured in 84 subjects. The levels of IL-33 and IL-17 (p-values 0.001 and 0.008, respectively) were significantly elevated in patients with H. pylori-associated gastritis compared with the other groups. The variation in measurement cutoff values determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis suggests that IL-33 and IL-17 are valuable biomarkers for evaluating gastritis in patients with H. pylori and other groups included in the study.

Background. The Maillard product was prepared from four model systems (aminoacids-glucose) at pH 10 and 110°C for 120 mn. Aim. This study aims to investigate the antimicrobial potential of different Maillard products and their hemolytic effect. Methods. Maillard products were prepared by four models (Gly-glu), (Val-glu), (Try-glu) and (Asp-glu). The prepared Maillard product antimicrobial activity was tested at concentration of 0.24, 0.48, 0.97, 1.95 and 3.90 mg/ml against Escherichia coli ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25922, Candida albicans and Fusarium graminearum) and hemolytic activity. Results. The inhibition diameter of the test isolate by-products from 4 models of Maillard reaction (Gly-glu), (Val-glu), (Try-glu), and (Asp-glu) ranged from 15±0mm to 28.3±0.4mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged from 0.97 mg/ml to 1.95 mg/ml for only two test isolates. Maillard reaction products also showed a similar effect of growth inhibition compared with antibiotics frequently used for treating bacterial infections. An evaluation of the hemolytic activity of the Maillard products on erythrocytes showed a low hemolysis rate of the order of 12.09%. Conclusion. The Maillard products tested had vigorous antimicrobial activity against some pathogenic microorganisms. The Maillard reaction product can be used as a narrow-spectrum antibiotic.

The Gram-negative bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi causes Scrub typhus, a mite-borne infection prevalent in southern India and other parts of Asia. This case study focuses on a 45-year-old man who developed multi-organ dysfunction after presenting with a low-grade fever, cough, and an eschar on his upper back for 15 days. The patient exhibited elevated liver enzymes, renal impairment, and severe hypertriglyceridemia, resulting in acute pancreatitis and respiratory distress that required intubation. The diagnosis was validated by the presence of positive IgM antibodies for scrub typhus, while a CT scan revealed acute pancreatitis. Despite no gallstones seen on ultrasound, serum amylase and lipase levels were significantly elevated, along with a triglyceride level of 1008 mg/dL. Management included intravenous doxycycline for Scrub Typhus, piperacillin-tazobactam for multi-organ dysfunction, and insulin infusion to reduce triglycerides, leading to improved enzyme levels and renal function. This case highlights the serious complications associated with Scrub typhus, such as acute pancreatitis, and underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and comprehensive management in endemic areas to enhance patient outcomes.

Iodine is an essential micro-nutrient for the human being taking in account its role in the synthesis of thyroid hormone. In pregnancy it is an increased iodine requirement according to the high metabolic rate and if the iodine requirement is not covered by an adequate intake the pregnant women and the fetus are at risk of iodine deficiency consequences This paper work aims to evaluate neonatal TSH as a marker of iodine status of women in pregnancy, which in pregnant women include, abortion, premature birth, low birth weight, increased perinatal mortality and in newborn impaired brain development and low IQ. Currently, iodine deficiency prevention in Romania is implemented by law 586 /2002 and 1904/2004 which indicate the mandatory iodization of table salt and the mandatory use of iodized salt in the bakery. The neonatal TSH was retrospectively analyzed from MEDILOG neonatal screening registry Romania. The individual TSH values were rated against a threshold of 5 mIU/L from 317449 children enrolled in the screening program for congenital hypothyroidism in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. In Romania 23.5% of neonates have TSH values above the previous mentioned threshold, fact which enrolls the population as moderate iodide deficient (according to UNICEF, WHO norms). There are differences at different couny level with a iodide deficiency ranking from mild to moderate. There are no differences between endemic and non-endemic areas. The results of this study are discussed in the context of similar works at the national and international level.

Aims. To estimate the prevalence of Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C among the tertiary care population of South India. Method. For this study, patients who had a positive diagnosis of hepatitis "B" or "C" at first were chosen. The testing for hepatitis B was confirmed by HBsAg (ELIZA). The testing for hepatitis C was confirmed by an HCV antibody test (anti-HCV) (enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Every positive confirmed test for HBV and HCV patients was selected for this present study. The demographic information, including age and gender, was gathered for additional analysis, and the data was presented as percentages and frequencies. Hepatitis B and C data were compared and displayed as percentages and numbers. The study duration was 13 months from January 2023 to February 2024. Results. 838 patients were found positive for hepatitis B, and C, among them 612 (73%) were found positive for HBV, and 226 (27%) were found positive for HCV. Among the 612 HBV patients, males 429 (70.1%) were higher than females, and 41-60 years (n=200, 46.65%) age groups were higher than other age groups. Among the 612 HBV patients, females were (n=183, 29.9%), and among them, 21-40 years (n=94, 51.4%) age groups were found higher than other age groups. Among the 226 HCV patients, males 188 (83.2%) were higher than females, and 21-40 years (n=102, 54.3%) age groups were higher than other age groups. Among the 226 HCV patients, females were (n=38, 16.8%), and among them, 41-60 years (n=20, 52.6%) age groups were found higher than other age groups. Conclusion. Males were more likely than females to be infected and to have a positive diagnosis of hepatitis B and C. In the hepatitis B study, patients between the ages of 41 and 60 tended to be more male, whereas patients between the ages of 21 and 40 (reproductive age) tended to be more female. The distribution of patients in the hepatitis C study was reversed: more male patients were discovered in the age range of 21-40 years, while more female patients were identified in the age range of 41-60 years (reproductive age).

Dupilumab is a human monoclonal IgG4 antibody targeting the interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4Rα). It effectively inhibits the signaling pathways of both interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) and has been extensively employed in managing conditions such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and other allergic disorders. Despite numerous studies affirming its safety profile, suppression of IL-4 and IL-13 has been linked to an increased dominance of interleukin-17 (IL-17), which can lead to adverse effects resembling those seen in psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthropathy-like symptoms. Through a case study of a patient receiving dupilumab for prurigo nodularis, this paper seeks to shed light on the potential inflammatory disease-like side effects associated with this treatment. Specifically, we explore manifestations such as enthesitis/arthritis, psoriasis, uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus erythematosus, and vasculitis, urging vigilance among rheumatologists and dermatologists.
Natural gas and transitioning to renewable fuels: considerations from industrial policy
Authors: Canlas Dante , Jandoc Karl Robert
Published: December 2024

The Philippines is committed under the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emission (GHG). In formulating its intended national contribution program, the government is starting with the energy sector by reducing reliance on coal as the primary fuel in electricity production as it transitions to the use of renewable fuels, such as wind and solar. Given the relatively high cost of renewables at this point, the Philippines is envisioning natural gas (NG), whether imported or indigenous, as a substitute fuel for coal in the interim. Some aspects of recent industrial policy approaches are considered to make this fuel substitution feasible.
Envisioning a transformation of socialist-era housing estates into sustainability-infused eco-villages
Authors: Hess Daniel Baldwin , Kocaj Arkadiusz , Gorczyca Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Throughout Europe, large housing estates dating from the socialist era are an important part of the housing stock and cultural life, and in some cities the apartment buildings within them house more than half of the residents. There have been many attempts to regenerate large housing estates, since they were built with cheap materials, using contemporaneous (and outdated) planning principles, and were projected to be used for only one generation as ‘temporary housing’ until more permanent solutions could be established. Consequently, many large housing estates have survived beyond their useful life and are in need of renovation. This article moves beyond individual and disconnected rehabilitation projects and renewal strategies and conceptualises a larger transformation of large housing estates in Central and Eastern Europe based on sustainability principles. We envision a comprehensive ‘green transformation’ that would transform large housing estates into ‘eco-villages’ that not only address current challenges but also propel large housing estates into their next lives as desirable residential space. The image of housing estates can be vastly improved if the built environments and landscapes are transformed so that housing estates possess green infrastructure and other features of sustainable design.

These planets are remarkably uniform in size and their orbits are evenly spaced, representing a prime example of the “peas-in-a-pod” architecture seen in other compact multiplanet systems. At V = 7.77, HD 101581 is the brightest star known to host multiple transiting planets smaller than 1.5 R

in the dense “core” region. For each of the six COSMOS protoclusters, we compare the quiescent fraction to the status of the central UMG as star-forming or quiescent. We observe that galaxies in these protoclusters appear to obey galactic conformity: Elevated quiescent fractions are found in protoclusters with UVJ-quiescent UMGs and low quiescent fractions are found in protoclusters containing UVJ star-frming UMGs. This correlation of star formation/quiescence in UMGs and the massive galaxies nearby in these protoclusters is the first evidence for the existence of galactic conformity at z > 3. Despite disagreements over mechanisms behind conformity at low redshifts, its presence at these early cosmic times would provide strong constraints on the physics proposed to drive galactic conformity.
Globular Cluster Counts around 700 Nearby Galaxies
Authors: Le Minh Ngoc , Cooper Andrew P.
Published: December 2024

Empirically, the total number (or total mass) of globular clusters (GCs) bound in a single galactic system correlates with the virial mass of the system. The form of this relation and its intrinsic scatter are potentially valuable constraints on theories of GC formation and galaxy evolution. In this work, we use the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey (DESI-LS) to make a large-scale, homogeneous estimate of GC abundance around 707 galaxies at distances ≲30 Mpc with luminosities

. The combination of depth and sky coverage in DESI-LS allow us to extend the techniques used by previous ground-based photometric GC surveys to a larger and potentially more representative sample of galaxies. We find average GC counts and radial profiles that are broadly consistent with the literature on individual galaxies, including good agreement with the distribution of GCs in the Milky Way, demonstrating the viability of DESI-LS images for this purpose. We find a relation between GC counts and virial mass in agreement with previous estimates based on heterogenous data sets, except at the lowest masses we probe, where we find a larger scatter in the number of cluster candidates and a slightly higher average count.
Mosquito аbundance and species surveillance in St. Joseph County, Indiana, 1976-1997
Authors: D'Antuono Carmela , Anderson Kayla , Afuso Joseph , Huang Michelle , Robichaud Jennifer , Rund Samuel
Published: December 2024

Approximately twenty-one years of historical mosquito abundance and species surveillance data, collected by the University of Notre Dame and the St. Joseph County (IN) Health Department, from 1976 to 1997 are made available following a data rescue effort. St. Joseph County is a county in Indiana, located on the Michigan-Indiana border, 35 miles from Lake Michigan.

The collected data will allow for trends in species to be followed over a wide time range and facilitate further research regarding mosquito-borne diseases, species distribution, phenology and ecological changes over time.
Médiation en santé au Samu social de Paris
Authors: Puechavy Stéphanie , Louppe Florence
Published: December 2024

Des médiations en santé avec approche transculturelle existent au sein des LHSS du Samusocial de Paris depuis 2021. Elles sont animées par un médecin généraliste et un médecin psychiatre et rassemblent autour d’un patient traversant une situation complexe, un médiateur.rice interprète, un soignant.e et parfois un.e proche. Cet article porte sur l’analyse des récits faits à l’issue de ces médiations. Elle explore la question des liens chez des patient.es ayant eu un parcours de rue et d’exil, expériences venant affecter les liens fondamentaux : le lien à soi, le lien à l’autre et à l’institution. Les médiations, au croisement de la clinique psychosociale et de la clinique transculturelle, viennent réhabiliter la parole des patient.es et co-construisent avec les soignant.es la possibilité de soigner les liens.
Embarquement en terre de médiation au CHU de Besançon
Authors: Hustache Mathieu Laurent
Published: December 2024

L’objectif de ce travail est de décrire la réflexion et les différentes étapes nécessaires pour développer au sein d’un service hospitalier de maladies infectieuses et tropicales la pratique de la médiation transculturelle. Nous souhaitons proposer la médiation lorsque celle-ci est indiquée, auprès des personnes vivant avec le VIH. A travers la métaphore de la traversée d’une rive à l’autre sur une pinasse, nous décrivons le travail préalable à la mise en place de la médiation à l’hôpital. Trois rencontres de terrain ont été réalisées pour sensibiliser les équipes : l’équipe mobile de soins palliatifs, l’équipe de consultations externes de maladies infectieuses, puis l’équipe de l’unité transversale d’éducation thérapeutique. Les équipes soignantes sont prêtes à embarquer mais l’administration reste loin du quai.
Pour une gestion durable des forêts
Authors: Tozzi Pascal
Published: December 2024

Quelle gouvernance internationale mettre en place pour la gestion des forêts ? Comment transposer le développement durable dans le champ forestier ? Pascal Tozzi ouvre la réflexion en prenant en compte les incertitudes, les jeux de pouvoir et les processus souvent conflictuels qui entourent les grandes problématiques de la préservation et de la conservation des forêts. Loin des discours moralisants et simplificateurs, des stratégies de captation et des modulations idéologiques dont le développement durable fait l’objet, l’auteur replace, par le biais du terrain forestier, l’action environnementale internationale dans toute sa complexité.
Le monument mégalithique de Roquefort à Lugasson (Gironde) et la question des allées couvertes en Aquitaine

Au cœur de l’un des foyers les plus anciens du mégalithisme européen, les allées d’Aquitaine restent encore méconnues et mal datées. Ces dolmens en allée couverte sont pourtant bien représentés entre la Charente-Maritime et le Lot-et-Garonne et font de cette région un secteur potentiel d’apparition et de diffusion du phénomène. Considérés de longue date comme des architectures tardives, à l’image des allées couvertes armoricaines, certains auteurs ont proposé une émergence de ces allées dès le Néolithique moyen. À la faveur d’un programme de restauration, de nouvelles fouilles ont été entreprises entre 2019 et 2022, sur l’allée mégalithique de Roquefort à Lugasson (Gironde), monument emblématique de l’Entre-deux-Mers. Découvert en 1922, puis vidé de son contenu, ce monument se compose aujourd’hui de 21 orthostates en calcaire à astérie et mesure près de 14 m de long. Il est intégré dans un rempart qui restait non daté à l’ouverture de ces nouvelles recherches. Le dégagement complet de l’allée de Roquefort et les sondages pratiqués sous le dallage et dans la masse du rempart ont permis de renouveler la connaissance de cette architecture. Un épisode massif de réemploi de stèles est attesté aussi bien dans le dallage que dans les orthostates et à la base du cairn et renvoie à un phénomène désormais bien connu dans le mégalithisme européen. Les datations effectuées à la base du cairn et sous le dallage permettent de dater la construction du monument de la première moitié du IVe millénaire, soit près d’un millénaire avant la datation généralement admise pour la construction des allées d’Aquitaine. Les résultats obtenus permettent ainsi d’affirmer que l’Aquitaine présente, dans l’état actuel des connaissances, les plus anciens dolmens en allées couvertes d’Europe atlantique.
The Alps as a Therapeutic Landscape in the Animation Series “Heidi, Girl of the Alps” (1974)
Authors: Salas Herrera Oliver
Published: December 2024

Con motivo del cincuenta aniversario de “Heidi, la niña de los Alpes” (1974) –una de las series de animación más influyentes de todos los tiempos–, proponemos un análisis sobre las cualidades terapéuticas de los Alpes en esta adaptación audiovisual y la relación de su discurso con las preocupaciones medioambientales. Para este análisis, tendremos en cuenta el impacto de la obra original de Johanna Spyri en la sociedad japonesa, el sello artístico de su director Isao Takahata, el proceso de producción y, especialmente, la importancia del discurso narrativo y la ambientación de esta adaptación. Centrándonos en este anime, estudiaremos cómo la serie, a lo largo de sus cincuenta y dos episodios, se sirve de diversos recursos dramatúrgicos y visuales para sumergir a los espectadores y espectadoras de todo el mundo en la imponente grandiosidad de los Alpes, logrando cautivarnos con su belleza y sus propiedades curativas, al tiempo que nos invita a rechazar la deshumanización de las grandes ciudades. Como conclusión, subrayamos que la naturaleza alpina en “Heidi, la niña de los Alpes” (1974), no es sólo una ubicación donde conviven sus personajes, sino que además coprotagoniza esta historia y representa un entorno terapéutico asociado a la naturaleza humana. Al mismo tiempo, la narrativa audiovisual invita a conocer en profundidad las cualidades de la vida rural y su relación con los recursos sostenibles.
«Chi parla per gli omosessuali?». Il ruolo del giornale «FUORI!» nel processo di community building del Fronte Unitario Omosessuale Rivoluzionario Italiano (1971-1973)
Authors: Bulgarelli Riccardo
Published: December 2024

L’articolo propone un’analisi del Fronte Unitario Omosessuale Rivoluzionario Italiano (FUORI!) dal 1971 al 1974. Lo studio, legandosi alla storiografia sull’attivismo omosessuale statunitense, interpreta il FUORI! come tentativo di costruzione comunitaria. A questo scopo, la rivista del movimento, grazie alla sua vocazione militante, è la fonte primaria attraverso cui si sono indagate la costituzione di una geografia dell’immaginario militante, l’elaborazione di teorie e di pratiche politiche, le tensioni di genere e l’inclusione di soggetti minoritari e marginali. L’analisi trasversale ha permesso di tracciare i caratteri peculiari di un’esperienza della militanza LGBTQ+ nel secondo Novecento, legandola al contesto politico e culturale del post-68.
Child Marriage in Indonesia
Authors: Setiawan Hari Harjanto , Wismayanti Yanuar Farida , Irmayani Nyi R. , Wardianti Adhani
Published: December 2024

Child marriage has become an important issue in recent years, both nationally and globally. This is detrimental to children's growth and development. Many children throughout the world experience problems with child marriage, including in Indonesia. The difficulties they experience include reproductive health, emotional aspects, exploitation, violence and harassment. This paper uses critical discourse analysis methods to explore conceptual and practical gaps. This chapter was written qualitatively, using literature observations and previous research findings on early marriage. The results show that cultural factors and gender equality play a role in the high rate of child marriage in Indonesia. This chapter explains the socio-cultural aspects of early marriage and gender equality based on research in Indonesia. This chapter contributes to the academic and practitioner literature on preventing early marriage in Indonesia. The implication is that child marriage has become a reality in child protection efforts in Indonesia.
