Published: December 2024

Background

Viral sepsis has been suggested as a precise term to define multisystem dysregulated immune response and clinical sequelae in severe and critical COVID-19 cases. This work aimed to determine predictors of sepsis in those patients and to report their outcomes.

Methodology

This prospective observational clinical study took place on 120 patients aged more than 18 years old, both genders, and hospitalized patients with laboratory-verified SARS CoV-2 infection. Enrolled patients were allocated into two groups: sepsis group (n = 49) and no sepsis group (n = 71).

Results

COVID-19 severity, National Early Warning Score (NEWS) risk, and Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score were significantly elevated in sepsis group. Glasgow Coma Scale was significantly reduced in sepsis group (P < 0.05). Mortality, length of hospital stay, ICU admission, and ventilatory support were significantly higher in sepsis group (P < 0.05). Serum procalcitonin was significantly elevated in sepsis group (P < 0.05). Serum procalcitonin can significantly predict sepsis at cutoff > 0.5 µg/L with 89.8% sensitivity and 90% specificity. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pH (decreased in sepsis group), heart rate (HR), platelets count, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), qSOFA score, serum procalcitonin, and duration of hospitalization (increased in sepsis group) were independent predictors of sepsis.

Conclusions

In COVID-19 patients, decreased SBP, DBP, MAP, and pH while increased HR, respiratory rate, platelets, LDH, ESR, qSOFA score, serum procalcitonin, and duration of hospitalization were found to be independent predictors of sepsis.

PURPOSE

In patients with a variety of malignancies undergoing multigene panel testing (MGPT), we examined the frequency of a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant (PV) that would not have been predicted on the basis of the patient's personal and family history of cancer.

METHODS

This is a retrospective review of patients with cancer ascertained from a single academic cancer center who underwent broad-based MGPT of ≥20 cancer predisposition genes not selected on the basis of personal or family cancer history from 2015 to 2021. Low-penetrance variants and recessive inheritance genes were excluded. Deidentified pedigrees were analyzed to determine clinical suspicion of PV.

RESULTS

MGPT was performed on 10,975 patients with cancer: 1,134 (10.3%) were found to have ≥1 PV in a moderate or highly penetrant cancer susceptibility gene. Three hundred seven (2.8%) of the PVs were not predicted on the basis of patient's personal cancer history alone, and 192 (1.7%) remained unsuspected after patient's cancer diagnosis and review of family cancer histories were considered. Unexpected PVs accounted for 16.9% of the 1,134 patients with a moderate- or high-penetrance PV. Most frequent unexpected variants were
MITF
(n = 18),
PMS2
(n = 18),
ATM
(n = 17),
BRIP1
(n = 17),
HOXB13
(n = 14),
SDHA
(n = 12),
CHEK2
(n = 11),
BRCA2
(n = 7),
MSH6
(n = 7),
SDHC
(n = 7),
PALB2
(n = 6), and
TP53
(n = 6). Low-penetrance or recessive variants were found in 519 (4.7%) patients. Variants of uncertain significance were found in 3,775 (34.4%).

CONCLUSION

In patients with cancer, MGPT identified a rate of 1.7% PV in unexpected actionable cancer predisposition genes. Findings were more often unexpected (2.8%) when considering only the patient cancer history. These findings may justify consideration of broader MGPT panels in patients with cancer, given implications for subsequent surveillance, cascade testing, and treatment options dependent on specific findings.
Ethics for Data Ownership in Social Science Funded Research
Authors: Sukarieh Mayssoun
Published: December 2024

Over the last few years, there has been a resurgence of interest in addressing the problematic politics and ethics of global North/global South relations within social science research projects. This essay outlines the ethical concerns arising from the funded research in the Middle East, drawing attention to the relation between research and researched, outlining practices of power relations, positionality, and identity and insisting that these must be addressed within the context of an unequal global division of labor when it comes to social science research. It ends with some suggestions of a way forward to overcome these problems such as the democratization of data and funding transparency.

Lugares híbridos. Espacios para las colaboraciones entre laboratorios y campos.
Authors: Mauro Agustín , Sosiuk Ezequiel
Published: December 2024

Al observar la literatura sobre cómo se establecen las colaboraciones
científicas y sobre cómo se vinculan los diferentes tipos de investigaciones, los
estudios sociales de la ciencia enfatizaron la construcción de culturas híbridas, es
decir, lenguajes híbridos e intercambios de prácticas. Nosotros, para pensar estos
problemas, proponemos llevar la atención a los lugares donde trabajan los
investigadores. Argumentamos que los científicos crean lugares híbridos que
permiten la articulación entre diversas investigaciones, en particular
investigaciones de campo e investigaciones en laboratorio. Por “híbridos” nos
referimos a que el lugar y el conocimiento producido poseen características tanto
del laboratorio como del campo. Además de desarrollar el concepto de lugar
híbrido, argumentamos que estos lugares son el producto de las prácticas
científicas, especialmente de las prácticas de experimentación, y que existen dos
tipos de lugares híbridos: laboratorios camporizados y campos laboratorizados. A
estos fines, recuperamos diferentes casos que ilustran los conceptos presentados y
los desarrollamos a partir de trabajos históricos junto con fuentes primarias de
diferentes disciplinas.
La peste de 1568 en Sevilla: una epidemia a través de la correspondencia comercial.
Authors: de la Peña Barroso Efrén
Published: December 2024

Los estudios sobre las enfermedades y epidemias urbanas del Antiguo Régimen han bebido principalmente de fuentes oficiales, anales y crónicas
de ciudades o de la literatura médica de los profesionales que tuvieron que combatirlas. Sin embargo, en muy raras ocasiones se ha prestado atención a los testimonios contenidos en la correspondencia, sobre todo a aquella de carácter mercantil
y comercial.
Este trabajo pretende reconstruir el brote pestífero de 1568 en Sevilla a través
de la correspondencia enviada al mercader Simón Ruiz Embito, estante en Medina
del Campo, por sus agentes comerciales en aquella ciudad. La información contenida en estas cartas, ciertamente original y, en ocasiones, alejada de las versiones
y fuentes oficiales, hacen de la correspondencia una fuente de primer orden para
estudiar aspectos particulares de la historia social.
La denominada escritura visigótica semicursiva: propuesta terminológica y metodológica aplicada al corpus documental del noroeste peninsular anterior al año 1200.
Authors: Castro Correa Ainoa
Published: December 2024

El empleo de una nomenclatura concreta para describir el tipo de
escritura de una muestra gráfica es, indudablemente, útil tanto para fijar sus características como para facilitar la comunicación entre especialistas. Esto es, siempre y cuando su uso sea constante, la elección del término esté justificada y el concepto al que queda asociado esté bien definido, dejando poco margen a criterios
subjetivos. Asignar un contexto socio-cultural absoluto a dicho tipo tiene el efecto
contrario, limitando la variabilidad propia de cada escriba y dificultando tanto su
estudio como su contextualización. Esta doble problemática queda patente para el
caso de la denominada “visigótica semicursiva”, escritura descrita con un término
que debería emplearse exclusivamente para referirse a la velocidad de trazo cuando, en este caso, se emplea para aludir a sus características morfológicas, y que
ha venido a asociarse a un contexto sociocultural de producción pobre; a escribas
con una formación gráfica muy limitada vinculada a un grado de perfección de la
escritura rudimentario. En este trabajo nos proponemos revisar qué se esconde tras los ejemplos clasificados bajo esa nomenclatura, argumentando la necesidad de un
cambio en la terminología al uso basado en criterios más objetivos.
L’eredità del ramo di Lorenzo Orsini di Monterotondo alla fine del XVI secolo.
Authors: Di Giovannandrea Riccardo
Published: December 2024

: Los Orsini de Monterotondo, divididos desde el siglo XV en las
dos ramas de Giacomo y Lorenzo, a fines del siglo XVI enfrentaron eventos complejos para la atribución de antiguos derechos feudales. Últimos de la rama de
Lorenzo fueron los herederos de Giordano, el cual, en primeras nupcias, se casó
con Emilia Cesi, de quien tuvo a Ludovico y Valerio, el segundo matrimonio con
Lucrezia dell’Anguillara, hija de Maddalena Strozzi, le dio Raimondo y Pulcheria.
Resultó inevitable solucionar la coincidencia de pretensiones sobre los derechos
sucesorios y encontrar acuerdos. No faltaron implicaciones trágicas y muertes prematuras que llevaron al final de esa rama con Valerio. En esos acontecimientos se
puede leer el sufrimiento de un mundo en crisis y en rápido cambio, que llegaba a
una nueva definición de equilibrio de poder

Theory-Based Decisions: Foundations and Introduction
Authors: Felin Teppo , Gambardella Alfonso , Zenger Todd
Published: December 2024

Theories are foundational for decision making. We point to a normative agenda that emphasizes the need for decision makers—including managers, firms, entrepreneurs, and startups—to develop their own theories. Our argument is that decision makers should be like scientists and use the scientific method—theories, causal reasoning, and experimentation—to problem solve and generate new data and value. In this paper and special issue introduction, we discuss the foundations of the theory-based view (TBV), particularly as it relates to forward-looking reasoning and decision making under uncertainty. Rather than handing prescriptive theories to others, the goal of the TBV is to provide the scaffolding for economic actors themselves to develop their own, idiosyncratic theories. Theories are built on heterogeneous beliefs and causal reasoning that enable the generation of unique paths to value. We discuss the implications of this argument for key theories within strategy and economics, along with highlighting research opportunities at the nexus of the TBV and topics such as learning, entrepreneurship, finance, ownership and leadership. We also introduce the special issue papers and discuss their contributions to the TBV.

Abundance and diversity of butterflies in urban green areas of Setif city (Algeria)
Authors: AISSAT LYES , BELMIHOUB HIBET ERRAHMENE
Published: December 2024

Butterflies are essential bioindicators of environmental health and play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem stability. Understanding their diversity and distribution in urban areas is crucial for biodiversity conservation. We conducted a survey of butterflies in Setif city to address the lack of information on butterfly diversity in Algerian urban environments. Butterflies were surveyed using pollard’s transect walking technique, with transects ranging from 500 m to 1 km. The observer recorded individuals within a 5x5x5 m area while walking each transect at a steady pace. Butterfly survey was conducted twice to three times each month from September 2021 to June 2023. In total, 726 individuals were collected, belonging to 32 species. The most abundant families were Pieridae and Nymphalidae, while Hesperiidae had the fewest species and individuals. Pieris rapae and Pararge aegeria were the most frequent and abundant species. The highest biodiversity indices were found in the Amusement Park (Shannon H = 2.43, Simpson 1-D = 0.867), and the lowest in Kitab Chahid Garden (Shannon H = 1.758) and Zenadia Forest (Simpson 1-D = 0.765). Equitability ranged from 0.67 to 0.88. Cluster analysis revealed two distinct groups of butterfly communities among the green areas. Pararge aegeria and Pieris rapae accounted for 50% of the differences between the green areas.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Quality of Life for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Authors: Alkahtani Bader N.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: This research study synthesizes research on applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform and improve quality of life for deaf and hard of hearing students. Twenty studies were analyzed, spanning domains including AI-enabled captioning, interpreters, personalized tutors, social robots, and assistive apps. Key findings demonstrate emerging AI innovations show promise for enhancing communication, learning, inclusion, and independence for deaf and hard of hearing youth. Technologies such as automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and intelligent tutoring systems increased classroom participation and academic skills by removing barriers. However, small samples, lack of longitudinal data, and technology accessibility limitations affect the strength of conclusions. Additional rigorous comparative research is warranted, but cautious adoption of AI appears beneficial if implemented ethically. With thoughtful design and integration, AI technologies exhibit strong potential for creating more empowering, equitable learning for deaf and hard of hearing students. However, achieving an inclusive AI future requires ongoing collaboration among developers, researchers, and educators to ensure that innovations are leveraged to amplify capacities, not replace them.
Lucretia the goddess: Deification and apotheosis in Ovid'S Fasti
Authors: Beek Everett
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: Ovid's Fasti is full of stories of apotheosis, that is, the supernatural process by which mortals are inducted into the community of gods. Typically, these stories involve a divine agent or sponsor who effects the change (consider Julius Caesar, Anna Perenna, Romulus, Hippolytus, Ino and Melicertes). Deification is a separate event, namely the process by which mortals receive divine honors and worship from other mortals. Among the deification narratives in the Fasti , the story of Lucretia (2.721-852) demands attention, as Brutus commemorates Lucretia's suffering and death by declaring her manes a numen . Brutus celebrates the dead Lucretia as a founding hero of the Roman republic, someone who, like Julius Caesar, makes herself a casualty of something greater than herself, and will be honored by her survivors because of the sacrifice she made for the state. Yet while Caesar's apotheosis in the Fasti is sponsored by Vesta, no god sponsors Lucretia, no apotheosis is attributed to her. This article argues that Lucretia's deification without apotheosis articulates the disjunction between apotheosis and deification, and simultaneously highlights the importance of deification even without apotheosis. The heroic Brutus in Ovid's narrative serves to endorse Augustan deification practice as a means to positive social change.
Dorieus' temple to Athena Crathias - a finely balanced fiction
Authors: Evans Richard J.
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: Fictional and mythological elements figure prominently in the narrative of Herodotus' history of the Greco-Persian wars. For example, his accounts of the battles, both at Thermopylae and at Mycale contain easily discernible unhistorical content. It will be suggested here that the episode (Hdt. 5.45) in which it is claimed that a temple was dedicated by the Spartan Dorieus to Athena Crathias after the sack of Sybaris, in about 510 bc, is another such invention, not necessarily, however, unlike in many other instances, that of the historian himself.

The Prayer of Jacob ( PGM 22b) and Speech Act Theory: A pragmatic analysis
Authors: Khumalo Sihe
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: This article uses Speech Act Theory to analyse The Prayer of Jacob , a magical incantation from the fourth-century Greek Magical Papyri ( PGM 22b. 1-26). Drawing from Austin and Searle's Speech Act Theory, I examine various speech acts within the prayer, following Lesses' methodology. Three primary speech act types (directives, expressives, and direct addresses) are identified, alongside an exploration of phrases invoking the power and names of God, and enigmatic voces magicae . Ultimately, the paper suggests that the combination of verbal utterances with divine names, expressions of power, and voces magicae enhances the prayer's potential effectiveness, leading to the desired outcomes under appropriate conditions.
A three-day storm in the everyday life of fishermen: Alciphron 1.1 and its literary background
Authors: Thoma Marianna
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: In his fictitious letters Alciphron exploits the rich mythological and literary tradition starting from Homeric poetry, while he also employs a number of rhetorical devices and topoi typical of the Second Sophistic. The secondary bibliography mainly highlights how Alciphron was influenced by specific authors such as Homer, Menander, and Lucian. Through the discussion of various literary parallels, I illuminate the suggestion that Alciphron drew his material from a wide range of Classical, Hellenistic and Imperial authors and different literary genres in the composition of 1.1, which could be considered as a programmatic letter in his collection.
On the Censorship of Anti-Christian Polemic in Early Kabbalah: In Memoriam: Gershon David Hundert (1946–2023)
Authors: Brown Jeremy Phillip
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Focusing mostly on texts from Castile and the corpus of Abraham Abulafia, previous studies have explored how representations of Jesus, Mary, Rome, Christians, Christianity, and Christendom function in the esoteric symbolism of Kabbalah, its ontology of evil, and its eschatology. Some studies have touched on the subject of anti-Christian polemic in the earliest texts from Provence and Catalonia, but evidence adduced for these contexts has been too subtle to demonstrate historicity. The present study reaches into the reserves of censored knowledge to recover and contextualize the earliest unambiguous record of anti-Christian polemic in the history of Kabbalah—restoring early evidence from Catalonia, from the writings of Ezra of Gerona, and coordinating it with what is already known of attitudes toward Christianity in Castile. In so doing, the study examines the role of censorship in shaping the longitudinal transmission of kabbalistic approaches to Christianity from an earlier phase than heretofore established.
The Double Standard in Modern Hebrew
Authors: Sichel Ivy , Mor Uri
Published: December 2024

Abstract: In this paper we analyze the social meanings associated with the new native vernacular (NNV) variety of Modern Hebrew as a complex positive stance, constructed via differentiation from its alternatives. NNV is reflexive, and it speaks for itself: for the authority of experience, as opposed to the traditional authority of the text. A speaker of NNV is necessarily an active agent in the propagation of the new collective and its values. We also explore the consolidation and dissemination of these values by cultural agents, focusing on a 1950s column by Dahn Ben Amotz, which presents snapshots of "everyday life" in multiple sites in Israel, as part of the modernist project of constructing a hegemonic folk identity. We show how variation in the use of spoken Hebrew, together with other tropes such as location and ethnic descent, are implicated in the construction of the new folk identity.
Comparative Analysis of Y-Chromosome Data from
Xinjiang and Ningxia Hui Populations with the Hui
Population Nationwide
Authors: Chang Xin , Yang Yini , Yu Yao , Xiong Jianxue , Shi Meisen , Wen Shaoqing
Published: December 2024

The Hui population, the third largest ethnic group in China, is dispersed throughout the country and has
a history of assimilation with indigenous East Asians. Previous studies have primarily focused on Hui
populations in specific regions, lacking comprehensive comparative analyses. This study analyzed 338
unrelated male individuals from Hui populations in Altay, Xinjiang Province, and Haiyuan or Tongxin,
Ningxia Province, using 108 Y-chromosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms and 24 Y-chromosomal
short tandem repeats, comparing findings with data from 749 published individuals from Hui populations
in 11 provinces and 997 published Eurasian populations. The analysis reveals that the national Hui
population can be categorized into three groups: Hui_Northwestern, Hui_Northern, and Hui_Southern,
supported by analysis of molecular variance and principal components analysis. In Xinjiang and Ningxia
Provinces, the most prevalent Y-haplogroups in East Asian populations accounted for 53.8% and 59.1%,
respectively, while common haplogroups in West Eurasian populations accounted for 46.2% and 40.9%,
respectively. This suggests a mixed paternal origin from both East Asian and Eurasian populations in
both study regions. High frequencies of haplogroups R1a1a1b2-Z93 and J-M304 were observed in the
Hui populations studied, with the network of haplogroup J-M304 indicating a unique cluster within the
western Asian subhaplogroup J2a-M410. The most recent common ancestor for this cluster was estimated
to be approximately 1341.9 years ago. Additionally, the network of haplogroup R1a1a1b2-Z93 revealed
similarities between northwestern Hui populations and Iranian/Turkic-speaking populations. Our study
provides insights into the complexity of Hui populations on a national scale and sheds light on potential
events and ancestral origins related to the formation of the Hui population.
A Spectrum of Violence: The Intersection of Antemortem and
Postmortem Embodiment in Migrant Death Investigation
at the US-Mexico Border
Authors: Kaplan Molly A. , Znachko Caroline L.
Published: December 2024

The objective of this literature review is to examine how the humanitarian crisis of migrant death at
the US-Mexico border epitomizes the antemortem and postmortem dimensions of structural violence
and the lasting effects it can have on the human body. The review aims to expose biological scientists to
applied embodiment research in the US-Mexico border context and to further dialogues on the utility of
embodiment in medicolegal spheres. After describing the ongoing migrant death crisis, the article reviews
embodiment constructs in biological anthropology pertaining to structural violence and marginalization
across the life course. It then surveys studies examining skeletal and dental biomarkers of structural
violence as embodied in migrant populations, including oral pathology, dental modifications, porotic
hyperostosis, cribra orbitalia, enamel hypoplasia, cranial fluctuating asymmetry, vertebral neural canal
size, and stature. These studies, conducted in forensic institutions with data collected through casework,
provide evidence of structural vulnerabilities faced by different migrant groups and demonstrate that
the migrant lived experience is not uniform. After death, the bodies and material artifacts of those who
perish while migrating further embody structural violence by reflecting the arduousness of the journey,
undergoing taphonomic changes, and receiving treatment that often leads to further erasure. While
many migrant decedents disappear in desert and ranchland environments, those who are found are
often trapped in the medicolegal system, either undergoing further bodily destruction for the purpose of
identification or being buried in unmarked graves without proper investigation. To exemplify the various
postmortem trajectories of migrant individuals, the authors describe the investigative experiences of
Operation Identification (OpID), a humanitarian forensic initiative in Texas, highlighting the realities
of how embodiment principles are incorporated into migrant death casework. Throughout forensic
exhumations and the identification process, OpID regularly encounters the biological and circumstantial
evidence of violence reviewed throughout the article. The authors concludes by discussing future directions
for integrating embodiment frameworks into death investigation around the country.

Published: December 2024

Os estudos sobre Joaquim Afonso Gonçalves (Macau, 1813-1841) referem os seus contributos para a pedagogia das línguas chinesa e portuguesa, mas há uma parte da sua obra à qual não costuma atribuir-se o merecido realce: a afirmação do latim como língua mediadora no diálogo cultural.
Obras como Lexicon Manuale Latino Sinicum (1839); Lexicon Magnum Latino-Sinicum (1841); e Grammatica Latina ad usum Sinensium (1828) são pouco referidas.
Elas sublinham duas coisas sobre as quais este trabalho se propõe refletir: a) a importância do latim em Macau em pleno século XIX; b) a utilidade do latim no diálogo intercultural.
O presente trabalho analisa as características das três obras e chama a atenção para a sua importância no contexto do diálogo de culturas e da história da tradução em Macau
O filme documental no processo de mediação territorial, cultural e literária

Published: December 2024

Num amplexo disciplinar que envolveu várias áreas do saber, o projeto MAS incidiu na produção e realização de oito objetos fílmicos consubstanciados em excertos do livro As Pequenas Memórias de José Saramago, onde perpassam paisagens, gentes e afetos da aldeia ribatejana que o viu nascer. Estas curtas-metragens foram pensadas como dispositivo de mediação entre o passado memorial e um presente vivencial, entrecruzando memórias de infância do nobilizado com memórias das pessoas que o recordam e se recordam, reconstruindo na memória o lugar/Azinhaga como património cultural.

Authors: Ribeiro Martins Patricia Filipa , Matos de Oliveira Fernando
Published: December 2024

A mediação artística em contexto educativo constitui uma ação nuclear na relação entre as dinâmicas de ensino-aprendizagem, os espaços da escola, os artistas e os equipamentos culturais, numa convergência benéfica, com ampla repercussão nos processos de cidadania e democracia. Defendemos neste artigo que o papel da mediação artístico-cultural, resultando da superação do modelo histórico da animação cultural, pode hoje atuar no território educativo em diálogo com os novos discursos e práticas curatoriais. A ênfase crescente nos processos de democratização, nos modelos cooperativos e em dinâmicas horizontais de criação e partilha, favorecem este entendimento. Os desafios lançados à escola no séc. XXI, confrontada com a globalização e com a digitalização, solicitam uma estratégia permeável ao envolvimento, à co-criação, à sensorialidade e ao pensamento crítico, que têm no encontro presencial e ampliado com as artes uma oportunidade renovada.
As funções de 文 (WEN) na cultura Chinesa tradicional
Authors: Sinedino Giorgio
Published: December 2024

Auxiliado por intuições da mediologia, o presente estudo investiga o conceito de 文 (Wen) no plano da cultura chinesa tradicional. A primeira seção explica como as noções de transmissão/mediação são úteis para percebermos que Wen representa um conjunto de funções mediológicas na língua moderna. Considerando as características da escrita chinesa, a segunda parte encontra indícios etimológicos de que tais funções já estão presentes in nuce nos mais antigos testemunhos paleográficos disponíveis. A seguir, a terceira seção pesquisa a lexicalização de Wen no período clássico do pensamento chinês, demonstrando que o emprego do étimo por Confúcio suscita quatro funções mediológicas: Mensagem, instituição, meio e tecnologia.
The Lily and the Rose as Cultural Symbols
Authors: Silveira Almeida Irene , Barreto Alberto Loraine Ethel , Oliveira Shusha
Published: December 2024

The Lily and the Rose occupy a special place in France and Portugal, respectively. This paper delves into the specificities of the significance associated with each flower, in the light of historical periods and recent trends. The investment of meaning, along with its subsequent re-appropriations, transmissions and transfers, form the crux of our reflections, guided by Régis Debray’s insights on mediology. The paper reveals the two flowers’ rich symbolism and ability to take on new layers of meaning as they adapt to the exigencies of power figures. It also underscores the vital role played by human agents in deploying material and strategic vectors for ongoing meaning (re)construction and showcases the horizontal-to-vertical level shifts in influencers.
«El Espíritu del Colegio». El colegio nacional de Buenos Aires y la formación de identidades en su estudiantado
Authors: Pineau Pablo
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza un conjunto de publicaciones sobre el Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, la principal institución educativa estatal argentina consagrada a la formación de la élite letrada –y exclusivamente masculina hasta 1959–, que fueron escritas por sus exalumnos en el período que abarca desde su fundación a mediados del siglo xix hasta la década de 1980. En primer lugar, se aborda Juvenilia, de Miguel Cané (1882), y que puede considerarse la obra canónica de la serie. Luego, se concentra en un conjunto de «memorias» que recrean la primera mitad del siglo xx, para abordar posteriormente un grupo de novelas más actuales que focalizan en los años 70 y la última dictadura cívico-militar. Se analiza cómo en sus relatos se tejen conjuntamente la historia personal de autores, la historia educativa y la historia general del país, dando lugar a la conformación de identidades específicas en el estudiantado que las habitan.
PEFC- ja FSC-metsäsertifiointistandardien vertailu sekä ekologinen vaikuttavuus lainsäädännön ja tutkimustiedon valossa

Published: December 2024

Katsauksessa tarkasteltiin FSC- ja PEFC-metsäsertifiointistandardien vaatimuksia Suomen talousmetsien monimuotoisuuden turvaamiseksi. Vertailimme standardeja keskenään sekä suhteessa aiempiin standardeihin, lainsäädäntöön ja ekologiseen tutkimustietoon. FSC osoittautui ekologisten kriteerien osalta vaativammaksi sertifiointijärjestelmäksi kuin PEFC. FSC-standardin ekologiset vaatimukset ovat kauttaaltaan tiukempia kuin PEFC:n. Erityisesti käsittelemättä jäävät pinta-alat (mm. arvokkaat elinympäristöt, väh. 5 %:n suojeluedellytys), vesistöjen ja pienvesien suojavyöhykkeet sekä elävien säästöpuiden ja kuolleen puun määrät ovat FSC-standardissa korkeampia, minkä vuoksi FSC tukee monimuotoisuuden säilyttämistä paremmin kuin PEFC. PEFC ei esimerkiksi tuo käytännössä lisäisyyttä metsälain määrittämään arvokkaiden elinympäristöjen turvaan, mutta FSC:n mukaan nämä kohteet on jätettävä kokonaan metsätaloustoimenpiteiden ulkopuolelle niiden koosta ja yleisyydestä riippumatta. Lisäksi FSC-metsäsertifioinnin vaatimus 5 % pinta-alan jättämisestä kokonaan metsätaloustoimien ulkopuolelle edistää arvokkaiden elinympäristöjen turvaamista. FSC suojelee paremmin myös vanhoja metsiä, sillä FSC-standardin määritelmien mukaisia varttuneita ja vanhoja runsaslahopuustoisia metsiä on vielä löydettävissä talousmetsistä, mutta PEFC-standardin kriteerien mukaisia vanhoja metsiä ei talousmetsistä käytännössä löydy. Molemmissa järjestelmissä on ajan kuluessa tapahtunut sekä parannuksia että heikennyksiä. PEFC:n osalta standardin heikennykset ovat olleet merkittävämpiä. Esimerkiksi metsäpaloympäristöjä ja palolajistoa turvaamaan tarkoitetuissa kulotuskriteereissä vaatimustasoa on laskettu molemmissa sertifiointijärjestelmissä. Kuitenkin FSC-sertifioinnin velvoittamien kulotusten pinta-alaosuus on edelleen huomattava, kun taas PEFC-standardin kulotuskriteerin vaatimustaso on laskettu minimaalisen alhaiseksi. Molemmissa järjestelmissä on edelleen parannettavaa ekologisen tutkimustiedon perusteella. PEFC:llä olisi potentiaalia olla vaikuttava metsäsertifiointistandardi, sillä se on käytössä noin 90 %:lla talousmetsien pinta-alasta, kun taas FSC on käytössä noin 11 %:lla. Näiden pinta-alojen suhteen perusteella voidaan arvioida, että koko Suomen mittakaavassa PEFC:llä voisi olla alemmasta vaatimustasosta huolimatta suurempi kokonaisvaikutus sellaisten kriteerien kohdalla, joissa FSC:n vaatimustaso on alle 8-kertainen PEFC:n vaatimustasoon nähden. Sertifiointistandardien ja lainsäädännön kehittäminen ekologisempaan suuntaan on välttämätöntä, jotta uhanalaistumiskehitys saadaan käännettyä ja talousmetsätkin voisivat tukea kansallisia ja kansainvälisiä monimuotoisuustavoitteita ja -sitoumuksia.
The Discursive Construction of the Concepts of LGBTQ and Roma People in Hungarian Online Political Communication
Authors:   , Tamássy Réka
Published: December 2024

The research project aims to unveil and systematically compare the meaning-making tools and strategies with which Hungarian politicians discursively construct the concepts of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (henceforth LGBTQ) and Roma minorities in their online political communication. Understanding how these political actors portray different minority groups is crucial as the research project perceives politicians’ communication not only as portraying minorities but also as constructing their concepts in the Hungarian public discourse and, thus, social reality. As such, it relies on the theoretical approach of discourse analysis and understands discourse as a social practice that shapes social reality and is simultaneously shaped by it. The research project also draws on social media’s possible equalizing or normalizing effect on the power balances between major, well-resourced, and minor, less established parties. To understand politicians’ meaning-making strategies regarding Roma and LGBTQ people, 45 prominent Hungarian politicians’ 2019 minority-related Facebook posts were analyzed with a discourse analytic approach. This approach led to the following new scientific results: • Regarding the similarities in the portrayal of the two minority groups, both minorities were frequently depicted as generalized, passive, silent actors; their voices and opinions rarely appeared in Facebook posts, and their most frequently ascribed social role was that of the victim. Many of the inclusive-toned posts were short, emotionally saturated, morally condemning, vague posts in which minorities appeared merely as empty signifiers of the politicians’ ideological stances. • As for particularities, the LGBTQ minority’s portrayal significantly differed between the left-leaning opposition politicians and politicians of the governing parties. Both constructed the concept of sexual minorities predominantly in the roles of being devoted to family and victims, but the former did so in an inclusive tone, while the latter in an exclusionary, sometimes even hostile mode. • The portrayal of Roma people was divided between the Roma nationality advocate and the left-leaning opposition politicians. In the portrayal of the nationality advocate, Roma people were portrayed as individualized in the roles of artists and as politically active, while opposition politicians’ inclusive-toned posts represented Roma primarily as generalized in the roles of victims and workers & professionals.

Diversidad de hormigas en potreros y cañaduzales en bosque seco del valle del río Cauca
Authors: Arboleda Mendez Camila , Armbrecht Inge , Bautista Giraldo Maria Alejandra
Published: December 2024

Este estudio evaluó si la diversidad de hormigas se relaciona con el tipo hábitat, la intensificación (IT) y la cercanía al bosque en matrices de caña de azúcar y potreros en bosques secos tropicales (bs-T) del valle geográfico del río Cauca. Se analizó la mirmecofauna de seis matrices (tres de potrero y tres de caña) y se registraron medidas de seis variables de hábitat. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la riqueza y la composición de hormigas entre los hábitats, así como una tendencia a la disminución de la riqueza con el IT. Además, se halló que, a medida que aumenta la distancia desde el bosque hacia el interior de las matrices, la riqueza promedio disminuye. Se concluye que el manejo de los agroecosistemas influye en la diversidad y la presencia de comunidades de hormigas, y, por lo tanto, es necesario favorecer su complejidad (heterogeneidad) para propiciar su conservación.
