Authors: Afshari Saleh Lahya , Rahimpour Farzaneh , Rafeemanesh Ehsan , Ahmadi Fatemeh , Vakili Vida , Yazdani Faezeh
Published: December 2022

Background: Shift work disrupts the sleep rhythm and leads to daily sleepiness and physical and mental complications. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the predictive role of shift work in poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in railway personnel. Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted on the employees of the Khorasan railway in Iran in 2021, 450 individuals of whom were selected as a sample using the census sampling method. The data collection method was through a checklist containing demographic information and related factors (e.g., employment history) and through a physician to evaluate underlying diseases, body mass index (BMI), smoking and use of substances (past medical history), and completion of standard questionnaires, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and STOP-BANG questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the t-test and simultaneous multivariate regression analysis by SPSS software (version 24). Results: Out of 450 employees, 144 (32%) and 306 (68%) subjects were day workers and shift workers, respectively. The average age of the participants was 40 ± 5.97 years. A significant difference was observed between the BMI with PSQI, KSS, and STOP-BANG scores (P = 0.001). Additionally, binary logistic regression analysis showed that shift work had a significant effect as a risk factor on both PSQI scores (CR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.16-1.32, P = 0.001) and KSS scores (CR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.29 - 1.59, P = 0.001). Conclusions: Shift work could increase the amount of sleepiness during work in personnel as the main cause, along with other effective factors, such as personal and occupational characteristics.

Published: December 2022

In the UK, a concern of prejudice, as well as a lack of gender identity and sexual orientation documentation, implies that LGBT persons mostly hidden to health-care providers. One of a review was carried out to examine primary literature on the psychological support requirements of LGBT cancer patients when receive treatment and after. Important findings: Key topics that have been mentioned include the negative impact on mental health, health care professional education and the absence of inclusive support groups, the pervasiveness of discriminatory practices within healthcare services. The research demonstrates how LGBT cancer patients are being failed by healthcare professionals in terms of psychological support, resulting in unmet requirements. There are some suggestions use to guarantee an LGBT inclusive atmosphere in cancer care, as well as the development of support programmes for LGBT people with cancer. Practical connotation: LGBT wellness and awareness education should be offered for HCP personnel. The registration and tracking of gender identity and sexual orientation is critical to ensuring that LGBT persons are not 'invisible' in cancer, radiation, and continued studies. LGBT cancer groups and services should be established, since information from the study indicated that LGBT individuals are actively seeking these services.

How Does Green Trade Affect the Environment? Evidence from China
Authors: Liu Huiling , Lei Heng , Zhou Youcheng
Published: December 2022

This study focuses on the impact of trade in environmental goods (green trade) on the environment. We found that green trade can decrease pollution levels by exploiting a panel of 277 Chinese cities from 2004 to 2013 and using the instrumental variable (IV) strategy. However, total trade openness is far less favorable to the environment. We also found that both green imports and exports are conducive to the Chinese environment, while ordinary green trade performs better than green processing trade. Nevertheless, the effects of green trade are restricted by a city's purchasing power and absorptive capacity, as well as the classifications of environmental goods. Furthermore, green trade mainly promotes local green technological progress to benefit the environment.

Published: December 2022

We explore the connectedness and portfolio implications between Islamic and conventional bonds in global and GCC regions. We also compare which bonds performed better during our sample period. Unlike previous studies, we focus on Islamic bond markets compared to their conventional counterparts and highlight the GCC bonds (Islamic and conventional) in respect of global bonds. We apply the DCC-GJR-GARCH (1,1) method, the Sharpe ratio, and the portfolio implications strategy over the period from September 1, 2013, to February 23, 2022. Our time-varying results suggest that the relationship among all variables varies over time, but most of them are positive, suggesting that there are fewer diversification opportunities between Islamic and conventional bonds. Hedging and diversification benefits are found only in the limited period among these variables, especially between GCC bonds and global bonds, and global Sukuk and GCC Sukuk. The findings of risk-adjusted returns reveal that Islamic bonds outperform their conventional counterparts. Moreover, mixed results are found in the case of hedging costs, and the majority of the fund, based on optimal weights, should be invested in Islamic bonds. Our study endows investors and regulators in the global and GCC markets with new insights on how to shield their investments and the financial system from financial crises through a hedging strategy with Islamic finance.

Production and assortment of apple in Serbia
Authors: Magazin Nenad , Milić Biserka , Keserović Zoran
Published: December 2022

Apple is a temperate fruit from the Rosacea family. It is of great importance in fruit growing in the world, considering that it is the second fruit tree in terms of volume of production. In developed countries, apple production is at a high technological level, so the volume of production does not change or even increases, regardless of the reduction of the area under this fruit species. Intensifi cation of production is achieved primarily by increasing the number of trees per unit area and, accordingly, by reducing the dimensions of the crown. With the introduction of low-growing rootstocks and small-sized cultivation forms, apple production experienced a major transformation in the world, but also in Serbia. The volume of production and the area under apples in Serbia are constantly increasing. One of the reasons is the good agro-ecological conditions that prevail in Serbia, as well as the apple's adaptability, especially its relative resistance to low temperatures and spring frosts. Planting material for high-intensity apple plantations includes seedlings with premature twigs, so-called "Knip" seedlings, which produce the fi rst crop already in the year of planting, and can produce a full crop in the fourth year. In order to make the most of the potential of these seedlings, and to secure investments, the standard technology of raising seedlings implies the use of anti-hail nets and irrigation systems from the moment of planting. Also, care is taken of proper soil maintenance, fertilization, and quality and regular fertility are ensured by the use of bioregulators. Today, the leading apple varieties in Serbia are the same as in the leading apple-producing countries, while the M 9 substrate is almost the only one used in modern dense plantings. The apple is currently the leading fruit species in Serbia for the production of fresh fruit, and this position will not change for a long time.
Alternaria spp. and A. mali causal agents of apple leaf blotch
Authors: Bulajić Aleksandra , Vojvodić Mira
Published: December 2022

Alternaria leaf blotch is a widespread disease of apple and is caused by multiple species with different taxonomic status. The most frequent are species Alternaria alternata and A. arborescens species complex. Due to complex taxonomy, collecting and discussing data on the presence and distribution, significance and especially quarantine status is complicated. Currently, recommended name for pathogen causing apple leaf blotch is A. alternata apple pathotype or Alternaria spp. with small spores, while quarantine regulation is limited to the isolates capable of biosynthesis of host-specific AM-toxin. In Serbia in some years leaf and fruit spot of apples can be observed. After a multi-year sampling of diseased plants, isolates belonging to small spored Alternaria were obtained. Nevertheless, after a five year long extensive research, the presence of quarantine producing AM-toxin pathotypes (previously A. mali) was not confirmed and thus A. alternata apple pathotype is not present in Serbia.
Bacterial diseases of apple
Authors: Ivanović Milan , Šević Milan , Obradović Aleksa
Published: December 2022

Bacterial diseases of apple are less numerous compared to fungal diseases, but under favorable conditions they can cause enormous damage. This is especially true for fire blight of apple, which can, in some years, cause complete tree death of sensitive cultivars. Fire blight has been present in Serbia for more than 30 years. Growing sensitive apple cultivars and lack of effective bactericides caused the disease to spread in a relatively short time in most of the apple fruit producing regions. Additional troublesome event for producers in Serbia is the ban on the use of antibiotics in plant protection. In addition to fire blight, this paper also describes other bacterial diseases of apple, such as crown gall, caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhizobium rhizogenes, and bacterial dieback and canker of fruit trees, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. The aim of this paper is to provide the knowledge on the most important bacterial diseases of apple, their importance in apple production, epidemiology and disease symptoms, as well as protection measures in order to reduce the damage they cause.

Published: December 2022

The clearwinh moth Synanthedon myopaeformis Borkhausen, 1789 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) is more and more important pest particulary in the orchard grafted on M9 and some other rootstocks. Attacked trees become exhausted over many years, their reproductive potential decreases and eventually they dry up, which is a big loss for plantations in intensive production that require high investments per hectare, especially if they are in full crop. During the research, the impact of three different varieties which are present in the plantation and different sampling period during the growing season on the number of clearwing moth (Synanthedon myopaeformis) was examined. The abundance of the clearwing moth was the highest in the Golden Delicious plantation, and the lowest in the Fuji plantation. In relation to the different sampling period, the maximum flight of adults was recorded during the first sampling in July, while a lower but approximately similar abundance was recorded during the second sampling in May, first, second, and the third sampling in June and the second sampling in July.

Published: December 2022

The quality of protein is based on their amino acid composition, especially on the content and availability of essential amino acids. Cereals are important sources of protein for human nutrition, but are limited in the amounts of essential amino acids, notably lysine. The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition and amino acid profiles of different cereals that are important for nutritional purposes in human diet. The content of protein, moisture and crude fat in cereals varied significantly from 7.83 to 13.22%, 11.45 to 13.80%, and from 1.67 to 6.35%, respectively. The obtained results showed that oat had the highest contents of crude protein (13.22%), crude fat (6.35%) and crude cellulose (9.42%) compared to other cereals. Significant (p < 0.05) variation existed in the content of essential and nonessential amino acids among samples with the highest level in oat and wheat. Essential amino acids accounted for one-third of the total amino acids in the tested cereals. Glutamic acid was found to be the most abundant amino acid. It could be concluded that the amino acid composition of oat is the most favorable among cereals due to its high protein content and the content of lysine which can be found in limited amounts in most of the cereals.

In this study, the petals collected from peony hybrid Paeonia lactiflora "Bowl of Beauty" and Calendula officinalis L. were extracted using an ethanol-water mixture assisted with microwave and ultrasonic treatment. The isolation of Calendula officinalis L. essential oil was done by hydrodistillation as well. The total phenolic and flavonoids content in the extracts and oil were determined and their antioxidant activity was evaluated. The highest total phenolic content was found for the extracts of hybrid P. lactiflora and C. officinalis L. obtained by ultrasound extraction (83.16 and 114.47 mg GA/g, respectively), while the flavonoid content obtained by microwave-assisted extraction was relatively high (123.48 and 65.29 mg QE/g, respectively). The highest antioxidant activity was obtained in DPPH• and ABTS•+ assay for the microwave-assisted extraction of hybrid P. lactiflora (79% and 83%) and ultrasound-assisted extraction of C. officinalis L. (45% and 49%), respectively. To improve antioxidant activity of both types of examined analytes (extracts and essential oil), the pectin biopolymer film (as a carrier) was prepared in the process of enzymatically assisted catalysis. Optical microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy were used for the characterization of obtained materials. The films, with essential oil of C. officinalis L. and gallic acid, showed significantly increased percentage inhibition in DPPH• and ABTS•+ test (91% and 95%, respectively) after 10 minutes. The results, also, showed that all formulations of pectin biopolymer film, modified with gallic acid, can be successfully applied as a carrier for both types of ingredients.

Published: December 2022

A serious global problem with the increasing resistance of microorganisms to currently used antimicrobials has opened up the promotional research in the identification of new, more effective drugs with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities. Plant essential oils, due to the large biological and structural diversity of their components, are known to have many potential benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and anti-adhesion activity of fifteen essential oils and their compounds against two bacterial and two yeast species responsible for food spoilage and infectious diseases. Antimicrobial activity was determined by testing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of essential oils and compounds. The essential oils of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Eugenia caryophyllus showed the highest antimicrobial activity with MICs ranging from 0.078 to 1.25 mg/mL, and 0.039 to 1.25 mg/mL, respectively. On the other hand, essential oils of Eucalypti aetheroleum and Salvia officinalis had significantly weaker antimicrobial properties than the others. Further, MICs were used to assess the inhibition of adhesion of bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 25923 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 14208, and yeasts Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763 in a microtiter plate using the crystal violet staining method. Based on the percentage of adhesion inhibition, yeast S. cerevisiae ATCC 9763 showed a high level of antimicrobial resistance. E. caryophyllus had the strongest effect with inhibition up to 73%. Consistent with the antimicrobial susceptibility results, the most active anti-adhesion compounds were carvacrol and thymol. Considering the role of biofilm in food spoilage and clinical diseases, inhibition of the initial phase of biofilm formation by natural antimicrobial agents may be an alternative to commonly used synthetic ones.

Published: December 2022

Maize can be contaminated with a wide range of fungal secondary metabolites that decrease the quality and safety of maize and maize-derived products. The increase of natural fungal metabolites occurrence in maize, influenced by climate changes, is recognized as a significant issue in recent years. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate the influence of weather conditions on the natural occurrence of Penicillium spp. metabolites in maize kernel samples. The survey was conducted for two maize vegetation seasons 2016 and 2017. In total 458 maize samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. The samples originated from the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, and regions of Bačka, Srem, and Banat. Among 45 Penicillium metabolites investigated 16 and 18 were detected in samples from 2016 and 2017, respectively. The most commonly occurring Penicillium metabolite in both years was oxaline, which was detected in more than 90% of analyzed samples. Questiomycin A, 7hydroxypestalotin, pestalotin, and mycophenolic acid were also very frequently detected Penicillium metabolites. This is one of the unique studies in the Republic of Serbia, as well as in this part of Europe, investigating the occurrence of a great number of Penicillium metabolites in maize samples.

Published: December 2022

Losses in the production of oilseed rape can occur before harvest, caused by the spontaneous opening of mature pods and the fall of seeds on the ground. Different seed pods, among other things, ripen on the same plant at different times. So, in the cultivation of similar crops, one of the most critical moments is determining the right time for harvesting, because late harvest implies overripeness and opening of the shell, which leads to seed spoilage, losses and mechanical damage during threshing. One way of monitoring seed shedding and thus potential losses is by placing a container between rows of oilseed rape plants and monitor the number of seeds that fall from open shells. The presented model of the system, which consists of sensor devices with associated cameras, positioned above the position, has a function to transmit images of the current state. Central to this paper is an image analysis application that can be performed near sites on computer-aided devices within Fog Computing. In this way, the results of the analysis of images on the number of seeds in the container are obtained almost immediately and can be forwarded to the Cloud platform or directly to the user who will take appropriate action. By obtaining timely information on the number of scattered seeds, it is possible to organize the harvest in an optimal way in order to avoid losses and prevent over-ripeness of oilseed rape.
Assessing different determinants influencing the death outcome resulting from acute coronary syndrome in patients treated in the coronary unit of the general hospital in Valjevo, and their differences
Authors: Filipović Aleksandra , Janković Janko
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries of the world and are responsible for the death of 17.9 million people per year and for 11.8% of total DALYs. In Serbia, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of death among ischemic heart diseases, with a share of 49.9%. Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the association of various determinants (demographic, anthropometric, biological markers, risk factors, presence of comorbidities, and the pharmacotherapeutic approach) with the death outcome resulting from ACS patients treated at the Coronary Unit, as well as their differences. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 384 adults with ACS, who were patients of the Cardiology Department with the Coronary Unit of the General Hospital in Valjevo, in 2020. The so-called Coronary Sheet was used as a research instrument. It was created, based on national needs, by the Institute of Public Health of Serbia "Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut", the Institute of Epidemiology, and the Cardiology Society of Serbia. This sheet is in the form of a questionnaire filled out by doctors working at the Coronary Unit, which is then submitted to the Institute of Public Health Valjevo. All respondents gave informed consent for anonymous participation in the research. The obtained data were analyzed using the methods of descriptive and analytical statistics, as well as the methods of univariate and multivariate linear regression. Results: The total sample consisted of 288 (75%) men and 96 (25%) women. The average age of patients who died of ACS was 72.9 ± 9.8 years, while the average age of patients who did not die of ACS was 65.0 ± 12.0 years. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Statistically significantly more patients who had lower values of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, when admitted to hospital, died than those who had somewhat higher values of systolic and diastolic pressure at admission (p < 0.001). The mortality rate was lower for patients with ACS who were prescribed acetylsalicylic acid (p < 0.001), beta blockers (p = 0.003), ACE inhibitors (p < 0.001), and statins (p < 0.001) during hospitalization, while all patients whose therapy included inotropes as one of the drugs died (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our research indicates the existence of a link between the examined determinants and the death outcome in patients suffering from ACS. It is necessary to improve the quality of data, maintain relevant and timely medical documentation and records, and continuously improve prevention programs, with the aim of reducing risk factors for the occurrence of ACS.

Authors: Todorović Željko , Anđelić Marko
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Thrombotic microangiopathies are a group of diseases characterized by disseminated intravascular thrombosis, thrombocytopenia and ischemic organ damage. This group includes thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. One of the causes of thrombotic microangiopathy, although rare, can also be malignant diseases, primarily cancers of the stomach, prostate, breast and lungs. Case report: We present a patient with thrombotic microangiopathy and disseminated malignant disease of unclear etiology. Conclusion: This clinical entity is called carcinoma-associated thrombotic microangiopathy and was first described in 1970. However, only a few dozen cases have been described to date. Considering the high mortality, it should be considered in patients with malignant disease, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
Sarcopenia: From clinical aspects to therapeutic possibilities
Authors: Stefanović Katarina , Mihajlović Gordana , Despotović Nebojša
Published: December 2022

In recent years, with the increase in life expectancy and the increasing number of elderly people, sarcopenia has been recognized as a separate entity and a new field in geriatric medicine. The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People defined sarcopenia as a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength and consequently muscle function, which carries with it an increased risk of falls, disability, loss of work ability and premature death. Sarcopenia in the elderly is being given major research focus in many countries, due to its great impact on morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Despite its clinical importance, sarcopenia is still underrecognized in daily clinical practice, in part due to the lack of available diagnostic tests and unique diagnostic criteria, as well as the lack of clear treatment guidelines. Diagnosing sarcopenia requires assessment of muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. The treatment of sarcopenia includes various non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches, and is primarily focused on resistance and strength exercises, with simultaneous nutritional support.
Safety issues regarding melatonin use in child and adolescent patients with sleep problems
Authors: Moon Eunsoo , Lee Jung Hyun
Published: December 2022

Several studies have reported that melatonin may be effective in treating sleep problems in children and adolescents. However, evidence regarding the safety of melatonin use in children and adolescents in their growth and developmental stages is warranted. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the literature on the safety of melatonin use in children and adolescents with insomnia and sleep disturbances. According to existing evidence, there are no serious adverse effects of long-term melatonin use in children and adolescents. The common adverse effects reported in long-term studies are fatigue, somnolence, and mood swings. In addition, there is no evidence that long-term use of melatonin inhibits the natural secretion of melatonin. It is necessary to monitor potential drug interactions with medications such as inhibitors and enhancers of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2). Furthermore, low CYP1A2 expression in young children requires proper dose adjustment. Although sufficient experience of melatonin use in children and adolescents has yet to be attained, accumulating evidence suggests that the use of melatonin in children and adolescents with sleep problems might be effective and tolerable. Considering the abuse or overdose risk of hypnotics or benzodiazepines, melatonin supplements may be a good therapeutic alternative. Future studies on the long-term safety of melatonin for physiological and mental function in children and adolescents are required to establish certainty about melatonin use in children and adolescents.

En el marco de las metodologías activas y la enseñanza de idiomas, el enfoque por proyectos sitúa al estudiante en el centro del proceso de aprendizaje, concibe la adquisición de la lengua conectada con la realidad y mejora las habilidades lingüísticas, personales, sociales y profesionales. Este trabajo desarrolla la posibilidad de implementar este enfoque en la enseñanza del español con fines específicos (EFE) mediante una propuesta dirigida a profesionales del sector turístico de nivel B1. Tomando como punto de partida el manual Profesionales del turismo, se expone el diseño de un proyecto que tiene como objetivo elaborar un póster científico sobre el turismo de un destino hispano, a partir de estas fases: identificación del tema, búsqueda de información, planificación, realización, evaluación y divulgación. La implementación del proyecto está orientada a integrar habilidades comunicativas y profesionales, fomentar el trabajo colaborativo y estimular la motivación del alumnado.

¿Se te pone el corazón en la garganta cuando hablamos de las expresiones con partes del cuerpo en el aula de ELE?
Authors: Zhang Ning
Published: December 2022

El presente trabajo pretende analizar nueve unidades fraseológicas con partes del cuerpo (corazón, lengua y mano) y proponer una serie de actividades tanto lúdicas como interactivas, con el fin de enseñar las UF somáticas en el aula de ELE para estudiantes sinohablantes. Los somatismos, por un lado, se consideran como un tema con carácter de universal fraseológico. Por otro, la extensión del significado se realiza normalmente a través de los mecanismos metafóricos y metonímicos. En este sentido, la propuesta tiene como objetivo facilitar la enseñanza de las UF somáticas, relacionándolas con la lengua china, estudiar los mecanismos cognitivos y el uso pragmático, y favorecer la competencia fraseológica y comunicativa de los estudiantes. Mediante los ejemplos adaptados de los Corpus Lingüísticos como CREA y la creación de historias, no solo se fomenta la producción oral y escrita utilizando las UF, sino también la competencia intercultural.
Production of Organic Products and Products with Improved Characteristics: Similarities and Differences in Legal Regulation
Authors: Ustyukova Valentina Vladimirovna
Published: December 2022

Using the comparative legal method, the article analyzes the provisions of recently adopted Federal laws regulating, respectively, the production of organic agricultural products and products with improved characteristics (hereinafter referred to as improved products), which are important vectors for the development of a "green" economy in Russia. The purpose of the study is to identify the similarity of these two laws and the main differences between them and to determine the feasibility of the existence of two laws regulating largely identical relations. When writing the article, along with the mentioned comparative legal method, general scientific and special legal methods (analysis, generalization, formal legal, etc.) were used. This made it possible to establish the advantages and legal and technical, as well as substantive shortcomings of the normative legal acts under consideration and to come to conclusions with a certain degree of scientific novelty. In particular, the study showed that both the developers of the Law on Improved Products and many scientists consider improved products as "green", environmentally friendly, i.e. as a kind of organic products, and if this is so, then, in the opinion of the author, there was no need to adopt a Law on improved products. If some relations were still insufficiently clearly regulated, it would be possible to make appropriate changes to the Law on Organic Products (for example, to introduce different types (categories) of such products "according to the degree of their organicity"), rather than adopt a duplicate law. But, assuming that the Law on Improved Products is unlikely to be repealed, the article proposes to more clearly define the range of relations regulated by each of the Laws under consideration, make the concept of improved products more informative, clarify that relations for the production of improved products are regulated not only at the federal level and solve a number of other issues.
Derivas del serialismo en las obras electrónicas de Karlheinz Stockhausen. Mediación técnica y producción de híbridos en el Laboratorio de la WDR
Authors:   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Johnson Santiago
Published: December 2022

Durante la década de 1950 Karlheinz Stockhausen adhirió a los principios modernistas promovidos por la Escuela de Darmstadt que dieron lugar al desarrollo del serialismo integral. En su búsqueda de renovación del lenguaje musical, Stockhausen intentó aplicar esta técnica a la composición de obras electrónicas en el laboratorio de la WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) en Colonia. Este artículo indaga, por medio del concepto de mediación técnica propuesto por Bruno Latour, cómo el intercambio de propiedades entre humanos y no humanos propiciado por el laboratorio fue modificando el proyecto serial. Como resultado de ese proceso, Stockhausen compuso una serie obras que no pudieron ser completamente prefiguradas a priori, hecho que demandó la creación de nuevas formas de escucha y notación musical. A partir de ello, buscaremos caracterizar la práctica compositiva de Stockhausen desde una perspectiva no modernista, haciendo hincapié en el carácter híbrido y relacional de los eventos musicales.
Inclusión de la perspectiva antropológica en un programa de tratamiento para jóvenes con consumo de drogas y judicializados. Una auto-etnografía Analítica
Authors: Garcés Pérez Gabriela
Published: December 2022

El abordaje interdisciplinario sigue siendo un desafío para las políticas de salud mental implementadas a través de los programas y centros de tratamiento y rehabilitación del consumo de drogas en Chile y Latinoamérica. En este artículo se analiza y discute la necesidad de incluir la perspectiva de la antropología sociocultural en el funcionamiento de un programa de tratamiento y rehabilitación biopsicosocial y comunitario para adolescentes que cumplen una medida judicial ambulatoria en la ciudad de Temuco, Región de la Araucanía, Chile. El fundamento metodológico corresponde a una auto-etnografía analítica, método de investigación cualitativo que intersecta la posición del/la investigador/a con su posición de actor social. Dicha intersección se encuentra en mi participación como antropóloga-investigadora, y a la vez como coordinadora del programa de tratamiento. Los resultados proyectan la inclusión de la perspectiva sociocultural en las dinámicas del Programa a partir de la definición y operativización de una noción de cultura e identidad cultural como dimensión de la realidad transversal en tres niveles de funcionamiento: Enfoque terapéutico de intervención; Dinámicas relacionales organizacionales del equipo terapéutico, y en las coordinaciones intersectoriales con otros equipos de la red. Para ello se fundamenta la formación del equipo de intervención en competencias interculturales. Se concluye la relevancia del método auto-etnográfico para visualizar desde un punto de vista situado, analítico y encarnado, los aportes y potencialidades de la inclusión de la perspectiva antropológica sociocultural en el modelo de intervención de tratamiento en adicciones vigente.
Educación intercultural: Una Alternativa a la Educación Monocultural en Contexto Mapuche
Authors: Quezada Carrasco Patricio
Published: December 2022

La educación monocultural se presenta como enfoque dominador y reductor del conocimiento indígena. Superar dicho enfoque, requiere una posición de pluralismo epistemológico en la educación, que rompa las asimetrías heredadas de la matriz colonial del poder. El objetivo de este artículo es discutir el rol de la educación intercultural, como enfoque alternativo y decolonial a la educación monocultural occidental en contexto mapuche. Efectuando una revisión de la literatura internacional, latinoamericana y nacional, desarrollamos los siguientes tópicos. Primero, describimos los principios de la educación indígena mapuche como principios epistémicos alternativos para la educación occidental. Segundo, conceptualizamos la educación monocultural como enfoque dominador de la actual escolarización. Tercero, como propuesta, planteamos la necesidad de un giro decolonial, transitando desde una educación monocultural hacia una educación intercultural a partir de tres ideas claves: levantar un discurso crítico sobre la educación monocultural; promover una educación basada en una filosofía liberadora; y construir una educación intercultural con y desde América Latina. Concluimos que, aunque la educación monocultural continúa vigente, y los conocimientos indígenas en condición subalterna, existe la necesidad urgente de un giro decolonial en la educación, el que implica, la pronta adopción de un diálogo de saberes entre clases, etnias y nacionalidades, mediante un proyecto latinoamericano que transforme la relación jerárquica de saberes, en una visión pluralista y contextualizada, intercultural e inter epistémica.
