MARGINACIONES Y DESVÍOS: DÓNDE LEER LOS TEXTOS DE LAS MUJERES
Authors: Molloy Sylvia
Published: October 2024

Este ensayo de Sylvia Molloy (1938-2022) fue publicado originalmente en
La crítica literaria en Latinoamérica: XXIV Congreso
, editado por Esteban Quiroz Cisneros y publicado por el Instituto Internacional de Literatura Iberoamericana en 1987. Debido a su publicación como parte de las ponencias del congreso celebrado en la Universidad de Stanford en 1985, este ensayo ha sido de difícil acceso lo que ha motivado su inclusión en este dossier homenaje al legado crítico de Molloy en
Revista Iberoamericana
.

La critica literaria enfrentó con desconcierto la literatura escrita por mujeres. A partir del estudio de la crítica hacia autoras como Victoria Ocampo, Eduarda Mansilla de García, Gabriela Mistral, entre otras, Sylvia Molloy demuestra que la escritora, como figura pública, es una amenaza hacia la institución literaria. Serán el mercado y la crítica las que condicionarán en las siguientes décadas la manera en la que se leen los textos escritos por mujeres. Esta crítica, en palabras de Molloy, cimentará el “no lugar” desde donde se lee la literatura escrita por mujeres, así como un inadecuado ensalzamiento de ciertas cualidades de la autora que contaminan la lectura de su obra.
MUJER Y NACIÓN: ADOLESCENCIAS “PERIFÉRICAS” EN LA OBRA DE NOBUKO YOSHIYA Y GABRIELA MISTRAL
Authors: Arana Blas María Alexandra
Published: October 2024

La construcción de la nación se apoya en las relaciones homosociales y el control de los cuerpos. En el caso Latinoamericano, esto lo han estudiado autores como Sylvia Molloy, Licia Fiol-Matta, Daniel Balderston y Roberto McKee Irwin, quienes demuestran cómo las redes de afectos entre autores del siglo XIX e inicios del XX construyen la nación. Sin embargo, ello no es exclusivo de dicha región. En Japón se pueden establecer paralelos con el caso de la autora Nobuko Yoshiya, quien publicaba en revistas para mujeres adolescentes. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo conectar la obra de Yohiya con la de Gabriela Mistral para entender el uso que se le daba al cuerpo de la adolescente en el contexto de la construcción nacional e identitaria.

Es debido a su vínculo con la oscuridad que la bruja es capaz de ejercer cuidados que desafían el culto a la muerte inherente al capitalismo extractivista.
A River Runs through It: Disaster Mobilities of an Elbe Island
Authors: MAUCH FELIX
Published: October 2024

Rivers move. They run, roll and flow, no matter how hard we try to fix them in place. Constantly transgressing physical as well as political borders, rivers also mobilise people, plants, animals and fluvial material. And yet, Wilhelmsburg – a little speck of land located between two branches of the northern German Elbe – was never more in flux than over the long aftermath of Hamburg’s Great Flood in 1962, setting thousands of disaster displacees in motion. The event was pivotal and transformative in the river island’s history. This paper seeks to interrogate how natural catastrophe and displacement have haunted both Wilhelmsburg and the river that ran through it. Such a perspective on disaster mobilities, forced migration and urban renewal reveals the extent to which this ‘migratory island’ has been shaped by social and environmental dynamics, kept in motion by the tides of history and its deeper currents.

Authors: Kim Dayeong , Lee Heejo , Kim Nanghee , Kim Dong Eon
Published: October 2024

In this study, we analysed the regional distribution status, species composition differences, seasonal occurrence and habitat types of invasive alien insects that are distirbuted in natural ecosystems nationwide, targeting 3,802 locations in eight regions between 2019 and 2021. A total of 95,017 invasive alien insects belonging to nine orders, 48 families and 77 species were identified. Amongst the taxonomic groups, Hemiptera (35.1%) was dominant, followed by Coleoptera (18.2%) and Lepidoptera (14.3%). Gyeongsangnam-do had the highest percentage of invasive alien insects, with 55 species, while Gyeonggi-do had the highest number of invasive alien insects at 890 sites. We used Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) to analyse differences in invasive alien insect species composition by region, occurrence by season and habitat type. To compare the differences in invasive alien insect species composition by region, we divided them into four groups (Group 1: Jeollanam-do, Jeollabuk-do; Group 2: Chungcheongnam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do; Group 3: Gyeongsangnam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do; and Group 4: Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do). We found an extensive overlap in invasive alien insects composition by region. Additionally, species composition exhibited seasonal differences, with the highest number of invasive alien insects occurring between July and September. Species occurring in spring (April to May) included Dryocosmus kuriphilus, Hypera postica and Brachypera zoilus, whereas those occurring in autumn (September to October) included Vespa velutina nigrithorax, Thecodiplosis japonensis and Hermetia illucens. Habitat type analysis showed that invasive alien insects lived along roadsides (31.9%), farmlands (27.9%) and parks (19.4%), exhibiting high densities in anthropogenic and disturbed sites, such as parks, residences and farmlands. Ecological statistical analysis showed that the dominance index was 0.6 in Chungcheongbuk-do, the diversity index was 2.7 in Gyeongsangbuk-do, the abundance index was 5.4 in Gyeongsnagnam-do and the equality index was 0.6–0.7 in all regions. Therefore, we aimed to identify the habitat status of introduced and settled invasive insects to provide a basis for selecting primary management target species.

Published: October 2024

Climate-aware urban environments pose a significant imperative to obtain thermally comfortable outdoor areas. The present study addresses the optimization of urban block morphology in Guelma City, Algeria, to enhance thermal performance in a semi-arid climate. Using in-situ measurements and simulation generated by the ENVI-met simple forcing scheme, the impact  f urban morphology on the variation of outdoor comfort factors, including air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed  arameters, is identified. The conducted investigation illustrates building configuration, orientation, and street canyon geometry as key indices affecting thermal comfort. Results pointed out urban green cover’s role in mitigating heat island effects. In conclusion, the study underscored the significance of an interconnected analysis of urban patterns and heir correlated influence on urban microclimate for achieving thermally comfortable outdoor environments.
Discovery of a new species of the subgenus Japonigekko (Squamata, Gekkonidae, Gekko) from the Hengduan Mountains, southwestern China: the best Japonigekko mountaineer
Authors: Ma Shun , Shi Sheng-Chao , Shen Cheng , Chang Li-Ming , Jiang Jian-Ping
Published: October 2024

A new Gekko (subgenus Japonigekko) species, Gekko alpinussp. nov., is described from the Jinsha River Basin in southwestern China, between the border of Mangkang County, Xizang Autonomous Region and Batang County, Sichuan Province, according to the integrative taxonomic results combining molecular data and morphological characters obtained from the type series comprising 11 specimens. Our molecular phylogeny inferred from the mitochondrial 16S and ND2 gene fragments indicated that this new species is most closely related to Gekko jinjiangensis, but a considerable amount of genetic divergence exists between them (p-distance: 3.6%-4.1% (16S) and 7.1%–9.1% (ND2)). The new species can be distinguished from its congeners via a combination of series morphological characters. The discovery of this new species marks the highest altitudinal range (2400 to 2542 m a.s.l.) recorded for the subgenus Japonigekko and also represents a new provincial record for the genus in Xizang Autonomous Region.

An identification key to females of all Palaearctic species of Apsilocera is given.
Type designation and redescription of Scolopendra spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903 (Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendridae), with remarks on related taxa
Authors: Doménech Carles
Published: October 2024

The recent description of the scolopendromorph centipede Scolopendra paradoxa Doménech, 2018 raised questions concerning the morphological limits of its closest relative S. spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903. Following the works of this author and other evidence, the specimens making up the type series of S. spinosissima and a lectotype are fixed, redescribed, and illustrated; these are then compared with this species’ unique available voucher and with S. paradoxa type material. Specimens making up the S. spinosissima type series are fixed including only four of the five individuals stored in the collection of Zoological Museum of Hamburg and, the voucher is identified as S. spinosissima. Its sister species, S. paradoxa, is confirmed as a morphologically and molecularly distinguishable taxon. Additionally, new data on the S. spinosissima type series are provideda and observations involving the excluded original type, reidentified as Ethmostigmus rubripes rubripes (Brandt, 1840), are given. Finally, the presence of S. multidens Newport, 1844 in the Philippines is proposed as dubious and a revised key for the Scolopendra of this archipelago is presented.

This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the peer tutorial project learning model assisted by augmented reality (AR) in improving students’ 21st-century skills. The focus of the study was to describe the improvement in students’ skills taught using the AR-assisted project and peer tutoring-based learning (PPTBL) model, with an emphasis on four main abilities: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. This study involved a comparison between a control group and an experimental group to measure the effectiveness of the learning model. The study results showed that the average critical thinking skills reached 81%, creativity 77%, collaboration 73%, and communication 74%. Data analysis showed that the hypothesis stating that there was a significant difference in 4C skills between students who study with the AR-assisted PPTBL model and those who study with the conventional learning model was accepted at a significance level of 5% (0.05). These findings were expected to make a significant contribution to the development of innovative learning methods that can be widely applied in higher education institutions.
The Influence of Mobile Technology on STEM Education Student Learning Outcomes
Authors: Xiaonan Yu  , Dong Yang
Published: October 2024

In many educational institutions, the adoption of mobile learning continues to be a growing topic. As has been considered recently, wireless technologies are currently employed by mobile technology to spread and exchange data via thinking, communicating, exchanging, and understanding. As a consequence, merging mobile technologies into teaching and learning can enhance the ambiance in higher education. Thus, the purpose of this investigation is to implement mobile learning to examine students’ applications in the framework of educational technology. The use of mobile technologies in STEM education is always efficient and engaging for the students. According to its potential to redefine traditional classroom learning paradigms, the inclusion of cellular phones into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has drawn significant interest. Three artificial intelligence education (AIEd) paradigm structures are utilized to narrow our exploration of how AI is influencing the STEM sectors. An established cross-disciplinary topic of research dealing with leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to improve training is defined as AIEd. There seems to be an increasing desire to harness AIEd’s promise to tackle academic barriers in STEM fields. The implications of mobile phones on the educational outcomes of students in STEM education settings are explored in this study. By performing a deep review of existing scholarship and empirical investigation, we look for the impact of mobile devices, functions, and platforms on pupil engagement, understanding, and performance in multifaceted STEM fields. A learning approach entitled STEM Project-Based Learning merges project-based curriculum design with the STEM approach to education. As a whole, pupils’ science and technology literacy were improved by the STEM mobile learning package on the ecosystem. Certain learning packages deserve to be studied isolated, while others might be given outright during offline or personal conversations.

Il volume intende sondare l’eredità “ultramediale” di Samuel Beckett all’interno del panorama tecno-teatrale degli anni Novanta e dei primi anni Duemila. Perlustrando le dinamiche d’interferenza fra scena e media digitali, si riflette su un campione di allestimenti ispirati o influenzati dall’opera beckettiana nel suo complesso.L’indagine sulla funzione rivestita dai dispositivi digitali all’interno dell’economia della performance consente di tracciare una tassonomia a quattro classi. La prima comprende un’unica realizzazione che immette Play in una condizione di Mixed Reality, utilizzando la realtà aumentata quale sistema diegetico. Il secondo filone ragiona sulla categoria estetica del doppio, focalizzandosi sugli effetti determinati dalla geminazione della presenza attorica sul palcoscenico. Il terzo raggruppamento prevede lo scandaglio di due creazioni che riconfigurano il regime spaziale dell’area performativa, attraverso un habitat volumetrico astratto e una grafia luministica saldamente ancorata agli schemi iconografici beckettiani. Gli ultimi due casi studio intervengono contemporaneamente sul registro sonico e su quello visivo, producendo una scrittura scenica dal carattere imagofonico.A corredo del volume si presenta un’appendice costituita da interviste e conversazioni con i creatori e le creatrici degli spettacoli esaminati, e un apparato iconografico.Il saggio, nella sua versione inedita, è risultato finalista al Premio Opera Critica 2021.
Collaboration au son : l’histoire d’une entente entre Éric Rohmer et son ingénieur du son, Pascal Ribier
Authors: Pierre Camille
Published: October 2024

Nous nous intéresserons dans cet article à la collaboration entre Pascal Ribier et Éric Rohmer. Le chemin de la professionnalisation de l’ingénieur du son fut tout aussi singulier que la place de Rohmer dans le paysage cinématographique français. La carrière de Pascal Ribier est intrinsèquement liée au cinéma d’Éric Rohmer. Il a appris de sa manière de procéder, de sa conception de la mise en sons d’une œuvre cinématographique et des discours qui soutiennent cette méthode. Le choix ici d’un système amateur, d’une proximité entre les différents intervenants du tournage semble conférer aux membres de l’équipe une « agentivité » liée également à la confiance qui leur est accordée et aux liens forts qui se nouent entre eux et au sein du processus créatif.
Se laisser contaminer par les autres

Published: October 2024

Formé à Buenos Aires en 2002, le collectif El Pampero Cine interroge autant pour son œuvre, variée et joyeusement expérimentale, que pour son fonctionnement de groupe. Dans cet entretien, nous les amenons à débattre sur la place de l’auteur et de la signature (« un film de »), et à revenir sur la manière dont ils ont imposé un récit de création collective dans un univers, celui du cinéma, qui y est habituellement hermétique. Nous abordons également la question de l’équilibre entre les relations de travail et d’amitié, en leur demandant s’il existe des techniques pour échapper au piège de l’exploitation. Enfin, nous explorons avec eux la métaphore de la « famille » artistique, souvent utilisée pour parler de leur travail, et comment elle permet de penser la spécificité de la création collective.
La collaboration entre Jack Lemmon et Billy Wilder, ou la co-construction dynamique d’un personnage récurrent
Authors: Gosselin Emma
Published: October 2024

La collaboration entre le réalisateur Billy Wilder et l’acteur Jack Lemmon a donné lieu à sept films entre 1959 et 1981. Celle-ci se caractérise par la création d’un personnage récurrent : un personnage type qui, bien qu’il n’ait ni le même nom ni le même métier, conserve des traits et une évolution similaires de film en film. Le duo va s’appuyer sur le personnage ordinaire, sympathique, inoffensif et vaguement ridicule incarné par Lemmon dans ses films antérieurs à cette collaboration, pour mettre en crise le Monsieur Tout-le-Monde de l’Amérique d’alors. Wilder et Lemmon ayant le travail rythmique comme préoccupation commune, l’étude de celui-ci nous permettra de montrer l’évolution du personnage récurrent au sein d’un des films, mais aussi son évolution d’un film à l’autre. Il apparaîtra que cette co-construction ne résulte pas seulement de l’addition des apports de chacun des deux collaborateurs fondés sur leurs expériences antérieures, mais d’une véritable articulation dynamique.
Des arts et des affects dans la pensée pédagogique et politique de Juan de Mariana d’après le De rege et regis institutione
Authors: Malavialle Renaud
Published: October 2024

Au début du règne de Philippe III, le jésuite espagnol Juan de Mariana (1536-1624) est l’auteur du De rege et regis institutione (1599), une réflexion longuement mûrie sur le rôle des arts dans l’éducation politique du prince et pour l’exercice du pouvoir monarchique. Des passages de ce traité permettent d’examiner les cas emblématiques de la poésie, de la musique et du théâtre. La relation entre les arts, les affects et l’éducation politique du prince, la nécessité de pratiques artistiques, sont fondées par Mariana sur les traditions platonicienne et aristotélicienne. L’appréciation de l’auteur sur leur rôle, et en particulier sur celui du théâtre dans l’espace public, signale des préoccupations indissolublement morales, sociales et religieuses. Moraliste rigoriste proche de García de Loaysa, le père jésuite invite le jeune roi et ses successeurs à méditer les recommandations fondatrices des grands philosophes, que le christianisme a confirmées (Tertullien, Augustin), à partir d’arguments anthropologiques tels que la contagion des passions par l’intermédiaire des sens. Il dénonce en outre un cercle vicieux : l’exploitation cynique, par les marchands d’émotions, des penchants peccamineux de tous, cause de la perte de bien des âmes au risque de l’honneur de la natio hispanorum. Face à la multitude, amatrice de spectacles et difficilement contrôlable, il préconise une transaction réaliste fondée sur un échange, une composition : la concession d’une activité tolérée, jamais encouragée, et l’invitation des vassaux et sujets à prendre conscience que tolérance n’est pas approbation. La perspective et l’ambition éducatives s’élargissent de la personne du prince à celle du corps social : Juan de Mariana rappelle ainsi les conditions de viabilité des corps politiques que la pratique et l’effet des arts, ces puissants et ambivalents outils de formation du souverain et des publics, contribuent à définir.
Les figures du roi et les stratégies de l’émotion en Espagne aux xvie et xviie siècles
Authors: Civil Pierre
Published: October 2024

Comme construction de conventions iconographiques, le portrait du roi dans l’Espagne des xvie et xviie siècles fait intervenir des codes précis de réalisation formelle et de « lecture » relevant de stratégies propres à faire naître une certaine émotion visuelle et esthétique. La rhétorique de l’image de la majesté à travers l’apparent contrôle de soi de la figure, les effets d’impassibilité, de distance et de gravité qui la régissent, vise à susciter des sentiments de respect, d’admiration, de fidélité voire de soumission au pouvoir royal. Bien des témoignages le confirment. Des œuvres picturales comme la Récupération de Bahia de Maíno ou les divers portraits de Philippe IV réalisés par Velázquez sont significatives d’une réflexion méditée de la part des artistes sur le rapport complexe du tableau au regard du spectateur. De la même manière, bon nombre de comedias mettant en scène la figure du roi, exacerbent la théâtralité du corps royal comme expression supérieure de son pouvoir. De tels exemples invitent à approfondir et à nuancer le traditionnel principe du « taire ses émotions » qui engage l’affirmation même de sa souveraineté.
Transformation des émotions et mise en scène du pouvoir dans l’Anfiteatro de Felipe IV el Grande
Authors: Orobitg Christine
Published: October 2024

Le 13 octobre 1631 et dans un contexte de fête courtisane, le roi Philippe IV d’Espagne fit organiser, sur le modèle des jeux de cirque romains, un combat d’animaux dans un amphithéâtre. Voyant que les animaux manquaient de combativité, Philippe IV s’impatienta, demanda une arquebuse et abattit un taureau d’une balle en plein milieu du front. Les réactions du monarque, lors de cet événement, ont fait l’objet de divers récits, dans lesquels le regard porté sur les émotions qui animent le monarque se révèle très différent : frustration et impatience dans certaines sources, gravitas et self-control pour d’autres. L’analyse des différentes lectures de l’événement, le sens qui est donné aux émotions du monarque ainsi que le processus de réécriture auxquelles ces émotions sont soumises montre bien le rôle fondamental des émotions dans la mise en scène du pouvoir.
Vers un théâtre des émotions refoulées. Stratégie politique et instrumentalisation des processions madrilènes au xviie siècle
Authors: Buvat Emmanuelle
Published: October 2024

Fondé sur l’étude des relations de fêtes madrilènes et des Libros de Consejos de la Sala de Alcaldes de Casa y Corte, ce travail tend à analyser les stratégies d’instrumentalisation des processions à des fins propagandistes de glorification des autorités dirigeantes et à examiner les réactions de la foule à ces attendus du pouvoir : s’y conformer ou, au contraire, les subvertir. Dans une jeune capitale où les institutions ont besoin d’assoir leur légitimité, façonner les émotions collectives par les manifestations religieuses constitue assurément, au xviie siècle, une condition indispensable au maintien de l’équilibre et de l’ordre social, voire de l’unité du peuple. Il conviendra alors de se demander comment les pouvoirs en présence mettent en œuvre leur politique de manipulation des émotions populaires et s’ils y parviennent.
Femmes dans la ville : Mixité, territorialités et entre soi
Authors: Mekrini Soukaina
Published: October 2024

Cet article explore le partage de Béni Mellal chez 103 femmes enquêtées à travers les prismes théoriques de l’entre soi et des territorialités. Les choix résidentiels des femmes, leurs modes de vie, leurs pratiques spatiales reflètent des écarts socio-économiques entre différentes « catégorie de femmes » ou « classes » de femmes ; elles vivent à Béni Mellal un type de relation particulier « with-then-apart », ensembles et séparés. Les divergences ressortent, d’une part, dans le choix du quartier de résidence qui apparait comme un espace de ressources sociales dans lequel le groupe qui y réside fait connaitre ses valeurs communes et partagées. Les sociabilités construites au sein de ces tissus dépendent grandement des origines des femmes, de leur situation matrimoniale, de leur âge, de leur situation professionnelle, mais surtout de leur l’affinité. Et d’autre part, les espaces publics urbains divisent également les femmes entre celles attirées par l’urbanité centrale produisant ainsi une territorialité repliée sur le quartier et son environnement immédiat et celles motorisées qui se rabattent sur la périphérie où les stations de service converties en complexes de loisirs fleurissent offrant un certain hédonisme à celles qui peuvent se le permettre.
Revising Layamon: The Otho scribe and his French additions
Authors: Fincher Max
Published: October 2024

An important aspect of the Early Middle English Layamon’s Brut is the scribal variation between the two extant versions of the verse chronicle, MS Cotton Caligula and MS Cotton Otho. Notably, these two contemporaneous versions, while identical in many respects, occasionally deviate from one another in both diction and style. As a consequence, vocabulary sometimes varies from one version to the other in certain passages / lines. In this article, I look at the lexical additions of the Otho Brut – in particular, the French lexis which the Otho scribe employs multiple times throughout the chronicle to replace some of Layamon’s comparatively more archaic vocabulary and prosody. This study is divided into two main sections: the first examines the types of words which the Otho scribe selected for replacement with his own French lexis with the aim of determining how much the scribe was motivated by a need to ‘update’ some of his exemplar’s characteristically archaic language. In the second section, I specifically analyze the Otho scribe’s lexical updates to see if they still manage to adhere to Layamon’s original prosody. Ultimately, this section sets out to determine if the Otho scribe was a part of and / or knowledgeable about the alliterative tradition which Layamon was composing in, while also ascertaining if his French additions have any metrical utility. Overall, this article sets out to understand the role of the scribe as revisor and his adaptive decisions behind his lexical changes (e.g., abbey, conseil, gisarme, lettre).

The increasing demand of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought about an elevated need of charging stations at the same time. But they somehow lack the number of stations, especially when there is an emergency. The solution proposed for this is a system where first dispatch of emergency vehicles gets first pick of charging stations. They can jump the line (work their way to the front) during emergencies and get charged quickly despite busy scenes. Through providing a system where everyone gets charged effectively, this method promotes clean driving and emergency management. It is mainly about keeping electric vehicles ready to go as well as the charging station owners happy. This scheme benefits users through the allocation of dedicated charging spots and an overall enhanced charging experience. Combining the priority-based pre-booking system for EV charging stations with quantum networking presents innovative solutions to enhance the efficiency, security, and scalability of the EV charging infrastructure.

The Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome (BHDs) can cause benign skin lesions like fibrofolliculomas as well as additional systemic symptoms like pulmonary cysts, kidney tumors, and recurrent pneumothoraces.
We report the successful treatment of fibrofolliculomas in a patient with BHDs using a combination of fractionated ablative CO2 laser and a Flash Lamp Pulsed Dye Laser (FPDL). This combined method improves the CO2 healing process's functional and cosmetic results; while the first wavelength (ablative) has a greater capacity for excision and tissue regeneration, the second wavelength (non-ablative) provides more control over the tissue healing process. The lesions were successfully ablated up to the papillary dermis without leading to an enhancement in the overall textural appearance. Therefore, deeper laser ablations may be able to stop dermal residual lesion relapses.
In conclusion, fractionated CO2 laser and FPDL can be used safely and effectively to reduce the appearance of facial hamartomas related to BHDs.
Hand-grip strength in recreational downhill skiers: a comparison to normative reference values

Published: October 2024

Hand-grip strength was evaluated in 757 recreational downhill skiers and compared to 1021 community-dwellers. Findings are reported for age and sex categories consistent with community-dwelling norms. Effect size (Cohen's d) was calculated to estimate the clinical relevance of strength differences between populations. Most male and half of the female age categories of downhill skiers demonstrated higher grip strength of the dominant hand (moderate to large effect size) compared to the reference population. Hand-grip strength in skiers declined with age at a similar rate as in the reference population. Relative grip strength (per kg body mass) was significantly and positively correlated with physical activity (hours/week), and with the number of ski days per year, and negatively with body mass. Thus, hand-grip strength may be related to the type, volume and intensity of exercise regularly performed. These results can help to assess whether the individual hand-grip strength is above or below average with regard to the normal population and the skier population as well and will support advice for training and/or rehabilitation.
Exploring Environmental Apocalypticism
Authors: Chandra Tan Michael
Published: October 2024

In the Anthropocene Era, overpopulation presents a pressing environmental challenge. As humans take center stage as ecological actors, recognizing that previously unsustainable human-nonhuman relationships fall short of safeguarding the planet for future generations becomes clear. Dystopian literature is a powerful vehicle for contextualizing the potential environmental apocalypticism that could define our future – a world shaped by irreversible catastrophes and societies grappling desperately with adaptation. This paper delves into the recurring theme of overpopulation across three dystopian short stories: Kurt Vonnegut’s “2 B R 0 2 B,” James Graham Ballard’s “Billennium,” and Carrie Vaughn’s “Amaryllis.” In contrast to the idyllic realms of utopian literature, these narratives paint a stark picture of dread and despair in humanity’s struggle against dwindling resources. Through an ecocritical analysis, this study underscores the urgency of overpopulation as a looming threat in the near future, with its portrayal in dystopian literature serving as an unmistakable warning to safeguard against the end of a sustainable Earth.
Pacific Islands in the Voyage of Magellan and Elcano
Authors: Santana-Pérez Juan Manuel
Published: October 2024

Islands had an important role in the first circumnavigation expedition undertaken by Magellan and Elcano. A global history that focuses on islands is necessary, one that no longer places island communities into the marginalized position they are assigned in alleged general histories. Meanwhile, the issue of the island must be approached individually. Islands have historically had features marked by their insularity, which is why, as subjects and objects of research within general historical processes, they sometimes require different interpretations.The Magellan expedition landed on a multitude of islands and sighted many others – we do not know exactly how many. An important fact to keep in mind is that the Capitulations between Magellan and Charles I stipulated that if Magellan discovered more than six islands, he had the right to keep two, act as their governor and enjoy the income from them. In addition, there were many instances of desertion among the expedition members who preferred to stay on those islands.
„Haben und nichts geben ist in manchen Fällen schlechter als stehlen“

Im folgenden Beitrag werden drei Erzählungen einer der eminentesten deutschsprachigen Autorinnen des 19. Jahrhunderts, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, vor dem Hintergrund der narrativen Empathie näher untersucht. In den ausgewählten literarischen Texten treten als Protagonisten Tiere, Kinder und/oder Repräsentanten niedrigerer gesellschaftlicher Schichten auf, denen die Autorin ein ausgeprägtes Mitgefühl entgegenbringt. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, auf was für eine Art und Weise den Leserinnen und Lesern dieses Mitgefühl vermittelt wird, welche erzähltechnischen Mittel dafür verwendet werden und was für eine Wirkung die Texte auf die Rezipienten ausüben. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Autorin trotz der Tatsache, dass sie der gehobenen, adeligen Gesellschaftsschicht entstammte, aufgrund ihrer Anteilnahme, ihrer präzisen, scharfsichtigen Beobachtungsgabe und ihres Sinns für Ironie, ihres sozialen Engagements sowie ihres schriftstellerischen Könnens mit ihren literarischen Texten eine wichtige gesellschafts- und sozialkritische Aufgabe erfüllte und das Mitgefühl ihrer Zeitgenossinnen und Zeitgenossen unmittelbar ansprach, weswegen ihre Texte noch heute relevant und (wieder) aktuell sind.
