Le puits d’El Hadj Omar TALL de Diembéring et le patrimoine culturel des Diola ewaat
Authors: SYMBIANE Gérôme
Published: October 2024

En milieu diola awaat, les sites naturels sacrés (historiques ou culturels) occupent une place importante au sein de la communauté. Ils jouent un rôle important pour la construction de l’identité sociale, la sacralité et la préservation de la biodiversité écologique. Très attachés à ces sites qui constituent un patrimoine collectif, les Diola ewaat les considèrent comme faisant partie intégrante de la communauté. Notre étude portant sur ces sites permet d’avoir une bonne connaissance de leurs fonctions afin de contribuer à la revalorisation et à la préservation de ces ressources naturelles à l’image du puits Nisaan communément appelé : « Le puits d’El Hadj Omar Tall » à Diembéring. Car, ce site constitue un carrefour culturel, historique et interreligieux. Cet article permet également de mettre en exergue la question de l’origine du puits d’El Hadj Omar Tall et du patrimoine culturel des Diola ewaat : l’histoire d’un syncrétisme religieux. Ce faisant, nous montrerons modestement les liens qu’entretiennent les Diola ewaat avec leur patrimoine culturel (leur état de conservation et les enjeux auxquels ils sont exposés) ainsi que les relations interreligieuses à travers l’espace diola awaat.
Communiquer en temps de crise

Published: October 2024

La crise de la Covid-19, phénomène sans précédent ayant dominé l’actualité pendant près de deux ans, offre un terrain d’étude unique pour la communication en temps de crise. L’isolement imposé par les confinements a conféré aux médias un rôle central, celui de mobiliser le public et de relayer les décisions publiques, modifiant ainsi les modes de communication médiatique. Cet ouvrage se penche sur le rôle de la presse écrite dans ce contexte d’urgence. En adoptant les procédures de la communication de crise, les médias ont dû remettre en question leur rôle traditionnel de contre-pouvoir. Plus subtilement, ils se sont éloignés de leurs fonctions critiques pour devenir des instruments d’adhésion aux mesures d’urgence, affectant la nature même du discours médiatique. Ce livre analyse également le discours proactif et bienveillant envers les personnes âgées, qui, sous couvert de protection, ont été soumises à des mesures très restrictives.
Body of Mine, Yours, and Everyone in Between: Communicating Gender Dysphoria Through Immersive Storytelling
Authors: Kostopoulos Cameron
Published: October 2024

This article explores the potential of new, immersive realities to convey the complex experiences of gender dysphoria and body dissatisfaction, using the innovative and multi-award-winning experience Body of Mine as a case study. Recognizing a gap in understanding and empathy towards gender-queer communities, Body of Mine employs an innovative full-body tracking solution to place users into the body of someone else, combined with first-person documentary interviews and interactive elements aimed at fostering a deeper connection and insight into the transgender experience. Initial feedback from users indicates a heightened awareness and emotional connection to the challenges faced by individuals with gender dysphoria, as well as an increase in self-body positivity, based on a study conducted in collaboration with the University of Tübingen’s Department of Psychology. This project underscores the power of immersive storytelling in fostering embodied understanding, while also acknowledging the ethical complexities and voyeuristic risks when sharing narratives from vulnerable communities, and explores innovative methods for tackling social issues through emerging technology. It concludes by contemplating the implications of immersive technologies for the concept of identity in a world that increasingly transcends the physical body, suggesting a future where the notion of self is not confined to physical form but is fluid, multifaceted, and continually redefined within boundless digital horizons.
ARTICULATION OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION TRAJECTORY BY THE INSTITUTION OF THE PRESIDENCY DURING THE FULL-SCALE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE
Authors:   Yurii Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Chernivtsi, Ukraine, Shkuro Anton
Published: October 2024

This article examines the role of the institution of the presidency in the intensification of Ukraine’s Euro-Atantic movement, encompassing European and Euro-Atlantic integration. The study establishes that the period of martial law has particuarly exacerbated national security issues and created favorable conditions for an effective Europeam integration movement. In this context, it is argues that the institution of the presidency has gained political independence and significantly influences Ukraine’s foreign policy. The study of this issue employs general scientific and specialized methods, including analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and comparison. The author demonstrates that Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has not only intensified foreign policy orientations but also created Ukraine’s image as a geopolitically significant state. Consequently, Ukraine’s interests must be considered in the current global context.
Examination of testicular veins in children with varicocele
Authors: Komarova Svetlana Yu. , Tsap Natalia A. , Pichugova Svetlana V.
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND: Diagnostics and management of varicocele in children, adolescents and males are issues of annual discussions in the professional community, yet the debates still continue. Pathophysiological changes in the testicular veins in children with varicocele are dubious and require further in-depth fundamental researches.
AIM: To study the difference in ultrastructural organization of testicular veins in boys with varicocele depending on the malformation degree.
METHODS: In the present study, the authors examined the ultrastructure of 58 bioptats taken from spermatic veins during surgeries in adolescent boys aged 11–17 with varicocele of degree II and III.
RESULTS: A comparative analysis of ultrastructural changes in the spermatic veins revealed that signs of endotheliocyte destruction of varying degree are met in 86% of biopsy samples in Group I and in 100% in Group II. Electron microscopy allowed to examine the muscular component of testicular veins in varicocele, as well as to examine the structure of connective tissue component in the venous wall, basing on an anatomical-functional paradigm of the connective tissue as the main "building brick" of organ and system structures.
CONCLUSION: Ultrastructural changes in the testicular vein wall were revealed in children with varicocele, what indicates the presence of congenital malformation in this wall and of accompanied endothelial dysfunction. Foldings of the vascular wall with hollows and pockets, connective tissue loosening and separation of fibers, endothelium destruction and detachment were equally met in boys and adolescents with varicocele of degree II and III.
Effectiveness of metformin in combination with intranasal insulin for the treatment of metabolic and hormonal disturbances in adult male rats with metabolic syndrome induced by impaired breastfeeding
Authors: Derkach Kira V. , Ivantsov Alexander O , Basova Nataliia E , Shpakov Alexander O
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND: Limiting or temporally stopping breastfeeding can lead to the development of metabolic syndrome in adulthood, which requires the development of approaches for its prevention and correction. One such approach is treatment with metformin or intranasal insulin. Since the targets of these agents differ and may complement each other, it has been suggested that their combined use could be effective.
AIM: To study the effect of a four-week co-administration of metformin (orally, 120 mg/kg/day) and intranasal insulin (1.2 IU/kg/day) in male rats with metabolic syndrome, induced by breastfeeding disruption on postnatal days 19–21, on their metabolic and hormonal parameters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study treatment was compared with monotherapy using the same drugs.
RESULTS: It was found that adult male rats with disrupted breastfeeding developed obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperleptinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and a reduction in the number of β-cells and the area of pancreatic islets, which are characteristic of metabolic syndrome. Long-term treatment with metformin and its combination with intranasal insulin partially or fully normalized body weight, abdominal fat, and metabolic and hormonal parameters, with the restorative effect of combination treatment on such parameters as body weight, fat mass, glucose tolerance, and blood glycated hemoglobin levels being more pronounced than with metformin alone.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study support the use of a combination of metformin and intranasal insulin to normalize metabolic and hormonal parameters in metabolic syndrome induced by breastfeeding disruption in early days of life.

A construção de nosso saber escolar – o ensino primário no Império e nos primeiros anos da República
Authors: Fávero Leonor Lopes
Published: October 2024

Resumo: O presente trabalho objetiva examinar o ensino primário, no Brasil, no Império e nos primeiros anos da República. Nessa ocasião, a ideia de Educação para todos, a luta contra o analfabetismo, a busca pela valorização da língua nacional e o combate contra as influências estrangeiras são temas constantemente debatidos no âmbito escolar. A escola, contrapondo-se às ideias pedagógicas tradicionais, começou ver nas crianças seres com características próprias, necessitando de um ambiente pensado para elas, material didático próprio (surgem as gramáticas para a infância e os livros de composição para o trabalho com a língua portuguesa) e professores preparados. “(...) antes de tudo é preciso aprender a ensinar, para ensinar a aprender” (Carneiro Leão, 1917). O trabalho está fundamentado na História das Ideias Linguísticas (Auroux, 1989; 1992) e na História Cultural (Chartier, 1990).Palavras-chave: Ensino primário; Império e início da República; política linguística; gramáticas da infância; livros de composição.Abstract: This study aims at examining the primary education in Brazil, in the Empire and in the early years of the Republic. At that time, the idea of an education for all, the fight against illiteracy, the seeking for the appreciation of the national language and the fight against foreign influences are great issues constantly debated in the educational context. Schools, opposing to traditional pedagogical ideas, started to see children as beings with their own characteristics, in need of an environment thought especially for them, books designed especially for them (childhood grammars and writing books for learning Portuguese start appearing) and well prepared teachers “(...) First of all, you must learn how to teach in order to teach how to learn” (Carneiro LeÃo, 1917). This paper is based on the History of Linguistic Ideas (Auroux, 1989; 1992) and Cultural History (Chartier, 1990).Keywords: Primary Education; Empire and Early Republic; Language Policy; Childhood Grammars; Writing Books.
A computational approach for modeling the indexical field / Uma abordagem computacional para a modelagem de campos indexicais
Authors: Oushiro Livia
Published: October 2024

Abstract: This study investigates how multiple social meanings come to be associated with a linguistic variable. The analyses of listeners’ perceptions of tap and retroflex realizations of coda /r/ in São Paulo Portuguese (as in jornal ‘newspaper’ and bazar ‘bazar’), through an experiment based on the matched-guise technique (LAMBERT et al., 1960; CAMPBELL-KIBLER, 2006, 2009) applied to 185 participants, show that coda /r/ in São Paulo is strongly associated to geographical identities, from which further inferences arise on speakers’ social status regarding their social class, area of residence, level of education, along with personal traits such as being “articulate” and “hardworking.” Interactions between variable /r/ and participants’ social profiles are explored, as well as the fact that certain plausible correlations do not arise, particularly in comparison to previous perception studies. In problematizing the nature of the ideological inter-relations among multiple factual and potential social meanings, an objective and falsifiable computational method for modeling indexical fields is proposed, based on Minimum Spanning Trees (GOWER; ROSS, 1969).Keywords: indexical fields; social meanings of variation; coda /r/; São Paulo Portuguese; matched-guise technique; computational models of language variation.Resumo: Este trabalho investiga de que modo múltiplos significados sociais vêm a se associar a uma variável sociolinguística. As análises de percepções de ouvintes sobre as realizações de /r/ em coda como tepe ou retroflexo no português paulistano (como em jornal e bazar), por meio de um experimento com base na técnica de estímulos pareados (LAMBERT et al., 1960; CAMPBELL-KIBLER, 2006, 2009) aplicado a 185 participantes, mostram que a variável /r/ se associa fortemente a identidades geográficas, a partir das quais surgem inferências sobre o status social dos falantes com relação a sua classe social, região de residência, nível educacional, juntamente a traços pessoais como ser uma pessoa “articulada” ou “trabalhadora”. Exploram-se as interações entre a variável /r/ e os perfis sociais dos participantes, assim como o fato de que certas correlações não se manifestam, particularmente em comparação com outros estudos prévios. Ao problematizar a natureza das inter-relações ideológicas entre múltiplos significados factuais e potenciais, propõe-se um método computacional objetivo e falseável para a modelagem de campos indexicais, com base em Árvores de Distâncias Mínimas (GOWER; ROSS, 1969).Palavras-chave: campos indexicais; significados sociais da variação; /r/ em coda; português paulistano; técnica de estímulos pareados; modelos computacionais da variação linguística.

Published: October 2024

Este trabalho analisa os procedimentos de formação de nomes de urna de candidatos ao cargo de deputado federal no período de 2002 a 2018. São adotados pressupostos teóricos da Sócio-Onomástica, que objetiva estudar a origem social dos nomes próprios e o uso de suas diversas variantes em diferentes situações e contextos, considerando seus portadores, nomeadores e usuários. A amostra de dados está composta por 15.068 nomes de urna, extraídos do Repositório de Dados Eleitorais do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Entre os resultados obtidos, verifica-se um aumento do uso de nomes não pertencentes ao registro civil na formação dos nomes de urna ao longo dos últimos anos, especialmente na comparação entre as eleições de 2014 e 2018. Além disso, ao considerar as características internas dos nomes, observa-se um aumento do uso de apelidos, hipocorísticos, qualificativos militares, profissionais e de outros elementos em contraste com uma redução de qualificativos religiosos ao longo de todo o período considerado.
Establishing the Role of Principals in Meaningfully Involving Secondary Special Educators in the School Community
Authors:   , Cummings Brea , Smith-Budhai Stephanie
Published: October 2024

Special educators do not feel involved in their school community due to a lack of understanding of their area of specialty. This lack of involvement leads to special educators feeling their jobs and needs are misunderstood or ignored within their school. Without the intervention and support of their principals, special educators continue to struggle with being involved in their schools, which impacts their access to support from their general education peers. The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry was to explore the stories of secondary special educators as they describe their experiences with their principals and their efforts of involving them within the school community. This study seeks to center the voices of special educators at the forefront to clearly detail what kind of support they wish to receive as well as the impact their principal has on their professional identity. The research questions guiding this narrative inquiry were: 1. What stories do secondary special educators share about their principal's facilitation of opportunities to include them within the school community? 2. To what extent, if any, do secondary special educators describe experiencing collaboration and communication with their general education colleagues? 3. How do secondary special educators describe the connections between their principal's special education training and being included in the school community? The findings found in this study may be used to benefit special educators by informing principals, district level leaders, policy makers and principal preparation programs the skills and policies that principals and schools need to ensure that their special educators feel included and heard within their schools to increase special educators' retention and job satisfaction.
Main etiological factors and comorbid pathology in severe cerebral palsy
Authors: Evreinov V. V. , Zhirova T. A. , Zueva Ya. V.
Published: October 2024

Introduction The largest number of factors contributing to the development of cerebral palsy (CP) relate to the pre- and intranatal periods. Premature birth and low birth weight are the most important predictors of cerebral palsy and are associated with persistent brain and motor disorders. Purpose To evaluate the main etiological factors of severe cerebral palsy and comorbid pathology in children with severe motor disorders.

Material and methods A retrospective observational study included 170 patients with severe forms of  cerebral palsy, divided into two groups (85 subjects each) depending on motor disorders: GMFCS IV, GMFCS V. Perinatal risk factors for severe cerebral palsy were assessed, correlations between perinatal risk factors for  expressed movement disorders and height/weight indicators, comorbid pathology in children at the time of admission to the trauma and orthopaedic hospital.

Results Prenatal risk factors were responsible for the development of cerebral palsy in children in 71 % of cases. In the GMFCS IV group, gestational age had an inverse correlation with preterm birth (R = –0.53; R2 = 28 %). In  the  GMFCS V group, disorders caused by a shorter gestational age were interrelated with  the  duration of the antenatal period (R = –0.79; R2 = 62 %), and also directly correlated with delivery by cesarean section (R = 0.58; R2 = 34 %). Among the comorbid pathologies, eye diseases and psychological development disorders were most often detected.

Discussion Low height/weight parameters of patients were due to comorbid pathology, rather than phenotypic constitutional features. Inverse correlation between the disorders caused by the gestational age, low birth weight and duration of pregnancy, risk of developing respiratory disorders, and a direct correlation with cesarean section seem logical. Severe conmobid diseases were more frequently diagnosed in patients with GMFCS V, indicating more extensive perinatal catastrophes in the central nervous system and the relationship between the developed pathology and severe motor disorders.

Conclusions The main risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy in patients with severe GMFCS IV–V motor impairments are associated with the pre- and intranatal periods. Comorbid pathology of patients with  severe forms of cerebral palsy is caused by severe brain damage and movement disorders that have developed against this background.
Temporary osteosynthesis of the tibial bones in repair of multiple and combined injuries
Authors: Khodzhanov I. Yu. , Amonov L. A. , Makhsudov F. M.
Published: October 2024

Background The incidence of injury worldwide remains high, with a global estimate of  6763  cases per  00,000  population (95 % confidence interval 6412–7147). Trauma to the limbs is a common injury to an individual anatomical area during multiple or combined trauma that accounts for 40 % to 85.2 % of cases. Assessment of the effectiveness of different fixation options and development of treatment algorithms are essential for patients with tibial fractures and multiple (combined) injuries.

The objective was to determine how often temporary tibia fixation is applied for patients with multiple and combined injuries.

Material and methods The original literature search was conducted on key resources including Scientific Electronic Library (www.elibrary.ru), the National Library of Medicine (www.pubmed.org), CyberLeninka between 2008 and 2023 using search words and phrases: tibial injuries, osteosynthesis of lower limbs, multiple injuries, combined injuries, temporary osteosynthesis of the tibial bones.

Results and discussion A differentiated approach to the repair of bone fractures resulting from multiple and combined injuries is mostly common with the choice of fixation technique depending on the severity of injury and the severity of the patient’s condition. The definitive internal bone fixation is normally used for  stable patients, “damage control” strategy is secured for borderline and severe cases using primary temporary external fixation followed by staged surgical intervention. There is no generally accepted strategy for the use of early mobilization of long bone fractures as a component of anti-shock measures in a polytrauma patient.

Conclusion Certain issues remain unresolved, including the use of osteosynthesis for tibial fractures in some cohorts of patients, the optimal time of transition to definitive internal fixation, the possibility of using extrafocal osteosynthesis as a definitive treatment, the optimal configuration and assemblies to be employed. The lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials in this field is an important limitation.

Authors:   Korean Academy Of International Commerce, Inc., Kim Seung-Chul , Kang Dong-Joon
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study analyzes the supply plans and performance of the Gwangyang Port hinterland, and proposes activation strategies based on these findings.
Research design, data, and methodology: A review of previous research was conducted to examine the definitions, functional changes, types, and designation criteria of port hinterlands. The current supply plans and development status of the Gwangyang Port hinterland were also analyzed.
Results: The results show that while the volume of cargo in the hinterland is increasing, its contribution to the total volume of port cargo remains stagnant. Key issues identified include terminal operator productivity, lack of shipping routes, and excessive competition among logistics companies.
Conclusions: The study proposes several activation strategies: improving terminal operator efficiency, enhancing support for high-value-added companies, promoting specialized hinterland areas for lifestyle logistics services, and strengthening the role of the Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority.

Authors: Nilasari B Medina , Nisfiannoor Muhammad , Pongoh Andri Sebastian
Published: October 2024

Research aims: This study aimed to investigate how positive Employees Performance can be achieved when leadership behavior fosters Organizational Culture and Employees Innovative Behavior.Design/Methodology/Approach: This quantitative study obtained data through an online questionnaire, where responses were collected from 150 employees of private companies in DKI Jakarta area. The data were then analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM) with AMOS version 25.Research findings: The results showed that Transformational Leadership had no direct effect on Organizational Culture, Employees Innovative Behavior, or Employees Performance. However, Transactional Leadership had a direct effect on Organizational Culture and Employees Innovative Behavior, but not on Performance. Even when mediated by Organizational Culture and Innovative Behavior, Transformational Leadership still had no effect on Performance. On the other hand, Transactional Leadership, when mediated by Organizational Culture and Employees Innovative Behavior, had more significant influence on Performance.Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study offered a novel perspective by showing that neither Transformational nor Transactional Leadership had a direct impact on Employees Performance. However, the mediating role of Organizational Culture and Innovative Behavior strengthened the influence of Leadership on Employees Performance.Practitioners/Policy Implications: To improve Employees Performance through Transactional Leadership, leaders should cultivate innovative Organizational Culture and foster Employees Innovative Behavior. In addition, leaders should address deviations in employees behavior and recognize positive contributions, ranging from verbal praise to offering promotion opportunities.Research Limitations/Implications: This study focused on Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership, Organizational Culture and Employees Innovative Behavior, as well as Employees Performance. Future studies were recommended to consider adding independent variables such as Creative Self-efficacy and Humble Leadership. Meanwhile, companies were expected to maintain a flexible culture to adapt to changes, and continuously nurture employees' creative ideas by providing opportunities. Leaders should also consistently monitor employees behavior and acknowledge good performance.

Published: October 2024

Adolescent drug usage can lead to a variety of outcomes that are different from those associated with adult drug use. Alcohol is a common illicit substance in youth, and the molecular mechanisms behind alcohol-induced neuro inflammation, brain injury, and behavioural dysfunction caused by ethanol are not fully understood. In the adult brain, alcoholism is associated with a higher chance of neuropsychiatric diseases. Adolescent alcohol use can cause long-lasting modifications to the control of cytokines and the sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which can impact neuropathology and behaviour long into adulthood... Synthetic androgens used for muscle and strength gain, especially in adolescence, are called alcoholic androgenic steroids (AAS). Adult neuropathology and alcoholism can be prevented and treated using AAS, an anabolic steroid.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of indirect intense pulsed light (IPL) irradiation on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
METHODS: A total of 60 MGD patients was included in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 into two groups (3-mm group and 10-mm group) in which IPL was applied at distances from the lower eyelid margin of 3 and 10 mm, respectively. Both groups received three times treatment with 3-week interval. Meibomian gland yield secretion score (MGYSS), standard patient evaluation of eye dryness (SPEED) questionnaire, tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), and in vivo confocal microscopy were performed at baseline and after every treatment.
RESULTS: After three IPL treatments, both groups had significant improvement in MGYSS (both P<0.05). The non-inferiority test showed that improvement in 10-mm group was not inferior to that in 3-mm group (P<0.001). In both groups, temporal regions of both upper and lower eyelids showed significant improvement in MGYSS. Scores of SPEED questionnaire in both groups declined significantly (both P<0.001) and changes of SPEED had no difference between two groups (P=0.57). Density of central corneal subepithelial nerves and TBUTs showed no statistically significant changes. The 3-mm group had improvement on corneal fluorescein staining (P=0.048) and meibomian gland morphology (acini wall thickness P=0.003, hyperreflective points P=0.024) while the 10-mm group had not.
CONCLUSION: The efficacy of IPL indirect irradiation in improving meibomian gland secretion and alleviating dry eye symptoms remains unchanged with increase in treatment distance. IPL may primarily act on the functional improvement of the meibomian glands and corneal nerves.

En esta actividad se plantea qué desafíos existen en la actualidad para el pensamiento ético y reflexivo. Por ello, y como parte del proyecto, a lo largo de varias jornadas académicas se propone el diálogo entre la comunidad universitaria y expertos que, desde diversas áreas de las ciencias sociales y humanas, pueden echar luz sobre asuntos propios que atañen a problemáticas por las que nuestras comunidades se encuentran atravesando. El nombre general de las jornadas de pensamiento es: Textos y contextos: Desafíos éticos actuales. Los objetivos que se buscan desarrollar mediante la realización de estos encuentros académicos apuntan en cuatro direcciones.

La acción pública de inconstitucionalidad y la vigencia de los derechos colectivos fundamentales
Authors: Zeballosf-Cuathin Adrian
Published: October 2024

Los derechos de las colectividades indígenas en el constitucionalismo colombiano temprano no tuvieron el reconocimiento y mucho menos la protección constitucional que estas colectividades requerían. No fue sino hasta la Constitución de 1991 que, previa lucha social y política - y con previa representación en la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente - se logra el reconocimiento constitucional de los derechos étnicos. Varios son los enunciados jurídicos constitucionales que rescatan a esas minorías del olvido y les otorga un estatus jurídico especial (arts. 7, 8, 10, 68, 72, 246, 330, entre otros). A partir de estos y otros enunciados normativos que se encuentran en el bloque de constitucionalidad, la Corte Constitucional ha llegado a concluir que las colectividades indígenas son verdaderos sujetos de derechos y no simplemente un agregado de realidades fácticas o políticas. El sujeto indígena (colectivo) es, en este sentido, un sujeto de derechos fundamentales. Y por esa razón, las colectividades indígenas necesitan de una protección especial a través de los mecanismos que la propia Constitución ha establecido.
El Proyecto Ministerios y sus implicaciones en las alteraciones del paisaje en el Centro Histórico de Bogotá
Authors: Rojas Berrio Sergio Iván
Published: October 2024

La imagen de los cerros orientales del Centro Tradicional de Bogotá es superlativa a la idea preconcebida que tenemos de paisaje y los vocablos o términos que de éste deriven. Las alteraciones visuales del Centro Tradicional por los recientes proyectos inmobiliarios en altura que desvirtúan su esencia, obligan a evaluar las acciones de los que usufructan del Paisaje urbano Histórico de Bogotá, siendo a su vez vinculante dilucidar que no nos referimos a una simple imagen, pues como se ha discutido previamente, el paisaje no es tan sólo un objeto de contemplación, sino un sujeto de interacción que cambia, y por lo tanto, las alteraciones en éste, también desencadenan alteraciones del tejido social que vive e interactúa con él.
Construcciones Morfológicas: Poliedro Arquimediano Rombicuboctaedro o Cuboctaedrorombico
Authors: Cubillos Vanegas Sandra Ivonne
Published: October 2024

El Rombicuboctaedrorómbico, es un Poliedro Arquimediano el cual se construye por truncación máxima del cuboctaedro. El cuboctaedro se genera por la truncación máxima del cubo, en este documento se plantean dos construcciones del Cuboctaedrorómbico:
La primera se construye mediante la intersección de dos pirámides octogonales mutuamente perpendiculares.
La segunda por truncación del cuboctaedro hasta lograr que los lados de sus caras poligonales sean iguales. El Rombicuboactedro tiene 26 caras, 48 aristas , 24 vértices, con una configuración de vértices de orden 4.
La producción de formas complejas (morfologías complejas), provee estudiantes de arquitectura los instrumentos conceptuales para resolver la complejidad específica del lenguaje necesario para su perfil profesional. Los atributos de la forma relativos a su modelación tridimensional en medios digitales favorecen la comprensión de las volumetrías tridimensionales, pero simultáneamente pueden resultar complejos los procesos de aprendizaje dado que no solo deben adquirir conceptos espaciales, sino además deben comprender el funcionamiento del software donde modelan las morfologías
Relaciones entre preferencias de evaluación y su relación con el rendimiento académico: un estudio en dos universidades colombianas. Avances de investigación
Authors: Burgos Acosta Juan José , Santamaría Vargas Juliana , Osorio Cardona Ana Cecilia , Jiménez Márquez María del Pilar
Published: October 2024

Este escrito inicial presenta los avances de un ejercicio de investigación que se está desarrollando en dos universidades colombianas con el propósito de establecer cuáles son las razones que expresan los estudiantes para justificar sus preferencias en la evaluación y su relación con el rendimiento académico. Se empleó la metodología mixta aplicando un cuestionario de preguntas cerradas, tipo escala Likert a 300 estudiantes, y 12 grupos focales. Algunos de los primeros resultados muestran que la población objeto de estudio, valora las pruebas estandarizadas dependiendo del área de formación, y al mismo tiempo otorga un significado importante a aquellas pruebas que tienen en cuenta el contexto cultural. La globalidad inicial de los resultados sugiere que la población intervenida está mostrando una tendencia a justificar sus respuestas con relación al aprendizaje, teniendo en cuenta más el rendimiento académico que el aprendizaje propiamente dicho, pues algunas de las narraciones recabadas en los grupos focales coinciden en confirmar esta tesis.
La modernidad líquida y su reflexión con el ambiente
Authors: Ortiz Motta Diana Carolina
Published: October 2024

Zygmunt Bauman es conocido por el concepto de la modernidad líquida, en la que todo es moldeable, provisional, precario, fluctuante, veloz, cambiante, flexible, etc. En esta sociedad la razón y la lógica permiten liberarse de aquellos prejuicios de la premodernidad, y adoptar un sentimiento de libertad que lleva a sentirse superior a todo cuanto conoce, al punto de dominar los recursos que tiene a su alcance. Por lo tanto, se ha optado en este capítulo por reflexionar sobre la modernidad líquida desde la mirada de los consumidores, el Estado y los capitalistas ante el uso de los recursos naturales. Según los aportes de Zygmunt Bauman en su libro Esto no es un diario. Se puede decir, que predomina una distopía , ya que la sociedad pretendiendo alcanzar su felicidad pasa por encima de la naturaleza, sin importar que está es limitada y que aún hay generaciones que se merecen un mejor planeta.
Historia reciente de la legislación societaria y concursal en Colombia (1991-2017)
Authors: Morgestein Sánchez Wilson Iván
Published: October 2024

A través del presente escrito se revisarán las leyes que, con posterioridad a la promulgación de la Carta Política de 1991, han reformado la normativa que el texto original de nuestro Código de Comercio (Decreto 410 de 1991) contenía en materia de sociedades y concursos, con el fin de determinar cuáles han sido las ideas que han inspirado esas diversas reformas al régimen societario y concursal, y si de verdad ellas han contemplado y atendido, de manera efectiva, las necesidades del empresariado patrio.
