Pompeya y la Antigüedad clásica como recurso modernizador de las elites en América latina
Authors: Romero Recio Mirella
Published: January 2025

Este artículo muestra cómo los restos hallados en la ciudad romana de Pompeya, en particular, y la Antigüedad clásica, en general, se convirtieron, a través de diferentes vías, en un recurso modernizador utilizado por las élites latinoamericanas, adaptándose y moldeándose en función de diversos intereses y necesidades. La expansión del neoclasicismo, promovida por la Academia de San Carlos de México, se analizará como un proceso variado que presenta similitudes y diferencias en los distintos países, al igual que la influencia de un estilo pompeyano que se adhirió a la tradición europea más clásica, tanto como una moda estética como una manifestación de una nueva identidad. El objetivo es abordar este estudio como un proceso de longue durée que llega hasta la actualidad. Por ello, se dedicará un apartado especial a analizar el uso de la Antigüedad como recurso modernizador de una nueva élite, enriquecida con el tráfico de armas, la corrupción y las drogas en el siglo XX, a través de un caso muy concreto: el Partenón del Negro Durazo en Zihuatanejo (México).

La situación social de la música en Theodor W. Adorno
Authors: García Echeverri Mauricio
Published: January 2025

The aim of the essay is to present how the German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno conceived the 20th-century social situation of music. To achieve this purpose, key concepts rooted in modern philosophical thought are analyzed. Greatly influenced by Walter Benjamin, each concept in Adorno is treated as a constellation, meaning an idea that must be developed. When interconnected with other concepts, these constellations provide a comprehensive understanding of the problem of the social situation of music. The essay is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the concept of ideology, and the second on reification. Each part is further subdivided to deepen the exploration of Adorno’s perspective on musical experience, ultimately emphasizing the importance of his aesthetic thought in relation to other authors who addressed similar issues.
La adopción de la caficultura orgánica por comunidades locales. Reflexiones a partir de un caso en el suroccidente de Colombia (1990-2000)
Authors: Gómez Santiago
Published: January 2025

In the rural areas of Colombia, peasants have been producing organic coffee for the international markets since the early 1990s. The adoption of this type of culture is not only the search for better revenue due to higher prices in these markets. To understand it well, it must be taken into account the historical and social constitution of local communities and the ways in which this productive activity is represented and developed. This text explains this through a case of production and exportation of organic coffee in the region of Valle del Cauca in the 1990s.
Marx y la crisis de la sociedad del trabajo. Prólogo
Authors: González Rúa Juan Diego
Published: January 2025

Durante los últimos años, la cuestión sobre la actualidad del pensamiento de Karl Marx ha despertado un renovado interés, tanto en círculos académicos como políticos. El estrepitoso colapso de los socialismos realmente existentes, junto con el fracaso del sistema socialista como organización económico-social hegemónica, fue interpretado por muchos como un signo de la obsolescencia de las ideas marxistas. En medio de este horizonte de "fin de la historia", el pensamiento de Marx fue contrapuesto a toda posibilidad emancipatoria e incluso se le acusó de ser cómplice del peligro totalitario. Sepultado en un pasado caduco del cual, supuestamente, nos habríamos liberado, la vigencia de su legado parecía agotarse. En un contexto donde el capitalismo parece consolidarse como la forma superior de organización socioeconómica, el conjunto de su obra pasó a ser considerado como un espectro desencarnado y obsoleto, un objeto relegado al análisis anticuado del historiador de las ideas, sin mucho que decir frente al presente.

It is intended to relate the literary work to the reality of the Mexican Political System, and to demonstrate that the political group in domain founds its hegemony in the warlordism tradition. As a foundation is used the political theory developed by Daniel Cosío Villegas to understand how Martin Luis Guzman details the essence of the warlordism tradition through his narrative.
La realidad de mujeres transexuales y sus movimientos sociales en Sudamérica en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Defendi Oliveira Alessandra Mawu
Published: January 2025

Resumen
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo hacer un breve recorrido —junto a un análisis reflexivo y crítico— por las diferentes redes solidarias de personas trans que se han estructurado en Sudamérica en diálogo con América Latina y el Caribe, y que actualmente están envueltas en las dinámicas impuestas por la pandemia de la COVID-19. La investigación fue realizada, principalmente, a partir de distintos recursos bibliográficos de organizaciones vinculadas a la Red Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Personas Trans (REDLACTRANS) y de las acciones que aquéllas están haciendo por la región. Para sustentar aún más nuestro trabajo, también utilizamos análisis de periódicos locales e internacionales, sitios web de organizaciones y redes sociales, textos sobre la salud trans, Derechos Humanos y estudios de género, además de entrevistas que aplicamos a algunas de las activistas de estos movimientos sociales. A partir de esta información, nuestra idea fue estructurar una sólida crítica a los límites del Estado y sus estructuras de poder, que conllevan a la ausencia de personas trans dentro de ellas, al deteriorado acceso a la salud que están sufriendo, así como a la fuerte exclusión e injusticias que la maquinaria estatal ejerce sobre los sujetos transgénero, lo que, en efecto, simboliza el más claro apoyo a la marginalización de estas identidades.
Abstract
This article aims to take a brief overview —along with a reflective and critical analysis— through the different solidary networks of transgender people that have been structured in South America in dialogue with Latin America and the Caribbean, where they are currently involved in the dynamics imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was carried out, mainly, from different bibliographic resources of organizations linked to the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Trans People (REDLACTRANS) and the actions carried out throughout the region. It is of utmost importance based on the analysis of local and international newspapers, the websites of organizations and social networks, texts on trans health, human rights and gender studies, in addition to interviews with some of the leaders and activists of some of these social movements. Based on this information, our purpose was to structure a criticism around the limits of the State and its power structure, and the absence of trans people in the decisions of the governments; questioning the limited access to health in which these people are victims because rejection of the State against injustices and their support in the marginalization of these identities.

El derecho a la alimentación como derecho colectivo en Colombia y su relación con la soberanía alimentaria en un contexto globalizado
Authors:   Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, Díaz Gamboa Luis Bernardo , Sánchez Cubides Pedro Alfonso ,   Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia
Published: January 2025

El tema de los derechos humanos ha sido ampliamente estudiado y conceptualizado en el mundo del derecho internacional, como consecuencia de diversas luchas sociales a lo largo de la historia humana, tales como la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano, los movimientos obreros en Rusia, la Revolución francesa, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre otros. Además, existe una creciente preocupación internacional por proteger a la humanidad contra los horrores de la guerra y promover la humanización del ser. Actualmente, contamos con un número considerable de instrumentos jurídicos que definen, amparan y difunden una serie de derechos considerados mínimos en cuanto a las garantías inherentes al ser humano por su mera condición. En este sentido, es oportuno afirmar que los derechos humanos son universales, ecuánimes e inviolables, conceptualmente.

Published: January 2025

CV. Rasyid is a business unit specializing in the production of ecoprints. Currently, one of the most sought-after clothing colors by consumers is burnt coral red. However, CV. Rasyid has been unable to meet this demand due to challenges in the production process, specifically the deterioration of the color during the fixation stage. To address this issue, the community service team from the Industrial Engineering Study Program at Muhammadiyah University of Gombong (Unimugo) provided facilitation and support. The program aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to produce burnt coral red for ecoprints using secang dye. The activities include preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The implementation process was conducted with guidance on color extraction, mordanting, design printing, and fixation. Monitoring results indicate that CV. Rasyid successfully carried out the burnt coral red ecoprint production process independently without significant issues. While the colors produced may vary slightly, this is not a concern, as such variations are a unique characteristic of ecoprint products.

Published: January 2025

The human body cannot work properly without water. Therefore, it is essential to conduct testing and monitoring of drinking water quality to ensure its safety and suitability for consumption. This has prompted researchers to develop more efficient systems compared to traditional methods. This study employs a systematic literature review approach by analysing various published articles to identify and evaluate the application of different types of sensors capable of detecting physical and chemical parameters for assessing drinking water quality. The findings indicate that the integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology can provide accurate data that is accessible in real-time and remote locations. Furthermore, to enhance the reliability of the system, it is necessary to further develop data processing algorithms by applying artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning technique to create smart systems with improved predictive capabilities. The implementation of these technologies is expected to support the Indonesian government’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing safe and affordable access to drinking water for all its citizens.

Published: January 2025

Nowadays, every new product is tempted, we can freely say it is on the edge of the downfall, and it is very important to reduce its production costs. We can simply reduce costs by degrading product quality. However, if we do not want it, it is possible to turn to the application of new knowledge and knowledge that will enable better resource utilization, reduce product placement time and even improve product quality. One of the generators of potentially large costs is just the process of designing, or the product
development process in the strictest sense. It is very possible that a lot of information is lost in the process of constructing immediately after having obtained the appropriate solution. In order to avoid it, somehow it is necessary to note the problems that arise, the ideas for their solution, and other arguments that arise when working in the construction team and developing solutions to the problems that arise.
The aim of this paper is to present one of the methods which essentially represent a systematic technique for determining the needs and customer requirements on which to base and produce the product. The QFD technique is used to identify basic needs and customer requirements. After the needs and customer requirements are collected, they are systematized according to the requirements of the technique. A large amount of data and information derived from interviews, various documents, and market research has to be summarized or reduced to the extent that the key needs and customer requirements are expressed. This paper brings an example of using the QFD method for making bathroom furniture in the company Framini d.o.o. Vitez (B&H).

Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid globulin (Tg) detection in elution fluid for intraoperative judgment of lymph node metastasis, and to explore the potential role of biomolecular mechanical behavior in influencing the detection results. By rapidly quantifying Tg levels, the optimal cutoff value was determined, and its potential value in clinical applications was further assessed. Methods: This is a prospective study that included 65 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent surgery at Xiangyang Central Hospital's thyroid surgery department from November 2022 to May 2023. A total of 150 cervical lymph node samples were collected. Tg levels were detected intraoperatively using colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay (FNA-TG-GICA), and results were compared with routine paraffin pathology findings. Particular attention was given to the reactivity of Tg molecules in the elution fluid. The optimal cutoff value for Tg test to judge the benign or malignant nature of lymph nodes was determined by plotting the ROC curve and calculating the AUC, to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the intraoperative Tg detection in identifying lymph node metastasis. Results: A total of 150 lymph node samples were included in this study, of which paraffin pathology verification showed 50 metastatic and 100 non-metastatic lymph nodes. The optimal cutoff value for Tg test was 77 ng/mL, with sensitivity of 94.00%, specificity of 96%, and accuracy of 95%. The AUC from the ROC curve analysis was 0.97, indicating high diagnostic accuracy. Further analysis revealed that most of the positive samples were metastatic lymph nodes, and all negative samples were non-metastatic, suggesting that the Tg test performs excellently in determining lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Elution fluid Tg test demonstrates high accuracy in intraoperatively determining lymph node metastasis. With an optimal cutoff value of 77 ng/mL, it shows excellent sensitivity and specificity. This detection method serves as a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool, providing effective decision support for clinical practice.

The research addresses the perceptions of the peasants of the community of Cari-Cari - Mañazo, province and department of Puno, about the environmental remediation carried out by the Santo Toribio Consortium. These actions were carried out to mitigate the effects of the environmental liabilities generated by the former Aladino VI Mining Unit, which operated in the area until 1986 in the Quearaya annex. The main objective was to systematize the population's perceptions regarding the recovery of ecosystem services in the areas affected by copper mining. The methodology used was qualitative, descriptive-ethnographic, non-experimental-longitudinal design, using the inductive method. To collect the information, observation guides and in-depth interviews were applied. The results highlight the effects of mining environmental liabilities in the community, 24 passive components were identified, including a mine entrance, as a legacy of the mining activities of the former Aladino VI Unit. Within the framework of Law No. 28271 of 2004, which regulates mining environmental liabilities (PAMs), the company Activos Mineros S.A.C. (AMSAC) commissioned the consulting firm CESEL S.A. to design a closure plan for these liabilities and the Santo Toribio Consortium assumed the responsibility of executing the environmental rehabilitation, in the project called "Recovery of ecosystem services of the middle part of the Chactani Gorge of the Ilpa Basin". These activities took place between August 10, 2020 and 2024. In conclusion, the research highlights the importance of environmental rehabilitation actions and their impact on the perception of community members, who value the efforts made to restore ecosystem services in their community, after years of negative impact from mining.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the evolution of intelligence quotient (IQ) among students in the Faculty of Industrial Engineering at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. The aim is to determine the influence of three factors on IQ: age, year of study, and month of university enrollment. Data was collected from a group of students using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV), a standardized instrument for assessing general intelligence in individuals aged 16 to 90. An orthogonal experimental design was employed to compare mean IQ scores across different groups defined by age, year of study, and their combinations, using a three-way analysis of variance and interaction plots. Results confirm the influence of both age and year of study on IQ, as well as the existence of an interaction effect between both variables. These findings suggest that both natural cognitive development and exposure to academic training contribute to changes in IQ throughout the university trajectory. Additionally, an opportunity is identified for future research to delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms of these changes and explore strategies to optimize students' intellectual development.

Authors: Kartika Tina , Meutia Inta Fitri
Published: January 2025

Indonesia with its diverse tribes, cultures, religions is a society that must be able to appreciate the differences. The custom of marriage is one of the relationships with significant cultural communication. This research was conducted in the Lampung Province, one of Indonesia's provinces. The province of Lampung has two distinct traditions: pepadun and saibatin. The topic of this study is traditional Saibatin marriage. The aim of this study is to describe cultural communication based on Lampung philosophy in wedding traditions. The approach is based on the qualitative concept and involves focus group discusses and informant interviews. More sources are found in different media journals. The finding of cultural communication based on Lampung ethnic philosophy is seen from wedding rituals. Both verbal and nonverbal communication is present in wedding customs. Verbal communication uses Lampung language with Nyo and Api dialect. Symbols as nonverbal communication are : cakes, dodol (a typical food made from flour, brown sugar and coconut milk), nireh ugay tools or sirih pinang (set of tools for chewing betel), gold, jewelry, diamonds, jung syarat cloth. After the wedding, the bride is invited to the groom's house by riding a rato/palanquin and accompanied by balak percussion (a typical Lampung musical instrument).
Mapping Labour Migration's Influence on Immigration, Refugee Policies, and Beyond

Published: January 2025

The intricate tapestry of human migration and development unfolds a rich exploration into the multifaceted dynamics of movement, traversing a spectrum from voluntary to involuntary transitions that intricately shape the global landscape. Beyond the conventional trajectories of travel, education, job shifts, and relocation prompted by employment or marriage, lies the complex realm of labour migration. Within this realm, individuals embark on journeys to foreign shores in pursuit of employment opportunities, often driven by the dearth of viable prospects in their countries of origin. Within this narrative, stark contrasts emerge, as some individuals find themselves ensnared in the web of human trafficking orchestrated by unscrupulous brokers, while others discover avenues for personal growth, self-realization, and societal ascension in their host countries. The exploration gains depth and nuance when focused on the experiences of a singular immigrant woman, prompting a cascade of inquiries into strategies for overcoming the financial hurdles of migration, the educational background that shaped in home country, and the dynamics of the consumer base for the products she contributes to in the host country. Moreover, the reverberations of the remittances back to the place of origin touch the lives of the family and community, raising questions about the potential for family reunification in the host country. This study of human migration and development transcends the confines of academic discourse to intricately entwine with the fabric of our daily lives. It serves not only to broaden our horizons to encompass the conflicts, disasters, and poverty that propel migration but also to prompt profound reflection on the immigration and refugee acceptance policies of diverse nations. As we navigate this complex web of human mobility, we glean insights into the underlying forces that shape the trajectories of migration and development, and the consequential impacts on both individuals and societies. Through this comprehensive examination, we are compelled to reckon with the intricate intersections of human experience, policy frameworks, and global dynamics, striving for a more inclusive and equitable approach to migration governance.
Chronology revised. The finds from Plovdiv, Cherkovna and Esenitsa in Bulgaria

Published: January 2025

The collective finds of ceramic vessels from Plovdiv and Cherkovna, together with the necropolis at Zimnicea, are eponyms of a Late Bronze Age cultural horizon in the Eastern Balkans. Its chronology is covering the whole period of the Late Bronze Age, as in the Bulgarian literature it is usually placed in the second half or even the last phase of the period. A third find of ceramic vessels, the one from Esenitsa, is considered as the very final stage of the Bronze Age. The current state of the sources, which have grown considerably as a result of numerous archaeological investigations in the last decades, came with a series of radiocarbon dates and Aegean imports found in context. Parallels in well-dated complexes indicate that the initial date of this horizon can almost certainly be set no later than the beginning of the Late Bronze Age. Two differentiated groups of vessels with characteristics respectively indicating later and earlier chronology are distinguished. Both groups are represented in the complex from Plovdiv, with predominance of the first one, while the one from Cherkovna only contains vessels from the second group. This led to the authors defining the Cherkovna find as the earliest, followed by that from Plovdiv. The small number of vessels in the Esenitsa find, two of which have unique shapes hamper precise definition. Still, the latter group is clearly distinguished among the exemplars of this collection, which indicates a later date.

The case study of the present paper is a series of archaeological materials discovered during the research carried out between 1976 and 1980 in the fortified settlement from the Beidaud Archaeological Microzone. As a result of these campaigns, archaeological features belonging to the Early Iron Age, Archaic and Roman periods were identified. While the prehistoric and Archaic finds have been discussed extensively in several studies, the archaeological complexes and materials belonging to the Roman period have been treated only tangentially, consisting of brief mentions of their discovery. In this context, we aim to make use of this assemblage of Roman artefacts, composed exclusively of ceramic finds. The lot is of particular interest from a chronological point of view, as the data obtained contribute to a better understanding of the stratigraphy of the fortified settlement, by determining more clearly the different periods of habitation and use. At the same time, they offer clues to the simultaneous functioning of the Roman-era sequence in the fortified settlement and another Roman rural settlement identified nearby. Lastly, from a socio-economic perspective, the variety of ceramic products helps to draw a general picture of the trade and cultural contacts that characterised the provincial rural world in this period.

CAN TRAIL BRIDGES PROMOTE BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL AESTHETIC VALUE AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL AREAS? EVIDENCE IN NORTHERN PROVINCE OF RWANDA
Authors: Diane Ntaganzwa  Sine , Pancras Ndokoye , Alexis Manishimwe
Published: January 2025

In this study we analysed the influence of the trail bridges on the aesthetic value of the environment, and on the economic development of the rural areas alongside with the functionality of trail bridges in northern province of Rwanda. The beneficiaries of the trail bridge and the local leaders were sampled randomly (local bridges beneficiaries) and purposively (local leaders). 12500 households and local leaders were our target population from whom 267 households’ representatives and 11leaders were used as sample.
It was found that Gakenke and Rulindo districts are the districts that has the most trail bridges built so far, totalling 75% of all the bridges built in the Northern province. There is a significant increase in building trail bridges with years; 65% of the total trail bridges were built in only two years (2021 and 2022). The trail bridge sustains the crossing of pedestrians of all categories and is also designed to allow the crossing of animals, motorcycles and bicycles.
The sustainability and full functionality of a trail bridge are influenced by several factors such as, the materials used in construction, the regularity of the maintenance and the efficient use of the bridge. Therefore, trail bridges that are decked with steel structures are in very good conditions, while those decked with timbers are in bad conditions. Regression Statistics indicated that trail bridges shortened travel time and speeded economic activities by boosting jobs. On one side the value of R square (0.62806) it means 62% of the change in new economic activities is driven by the travel time and the correlation is strong, as shown by the value of Multiple R=0.79. This means that the longer the travel time, the less the possibility of new economic activities.
On the other hand, the value of R square (0.654), it means 65% of the change in new job is driven by the travel time, and the value of Multiple R=0.808 shows a strong correlation.
The promotion of trail bridges in hilly countries with deep valley could accelerate sustainable socio economic development.
Simile and meaning sentences relating to "tree"
Authors: Chuluun Byambatsetseg
Published: January 2025

When looking at the linguistic evidence for the metaphor "tree", there are cases where it is used to compare time, creatures and animals, writing instruments, and objects and organs made of wood. A tree consists of a stem, roots, branches, and twigs, and there are cases where objects are named by their hidden nature, as metaphors within the context of words that indicate their characteristics and appearance.
In the genre of oral storytelling, the positive value and attitude of the main characteristics of trees, such as growth and reproduction, and the importance of nature and ecology, are often repeated in magical tales as "guides", "symbols of growth", “sustainers of life", “worship of trees” and “analyzing through trees” define the environment of the metaphorical character of a tree.

In today's world, where technological advances, digital networks, and globalization in many sectors of the economy are imperative, intercultural skills are essential for intercultural interactions, international teams, working abroad, living, learning, and undertaking projects. This ability is being studied internationally under the name of intercultural communication skills and intercultural competence. In this study, we sought to find ways to assess intercultural competence and to identify the content and analysis that form these competencies. We also explained how we assessed intercultural competence using the method we developed. This competence is recognized worldwide as the foundation for communication and cooperation in all sectors of society, not only in research such as linguistics, comparative language studies, and translation. Furthermore, the article presents the results of the research on the changes in intercultural competence and the work written during the research.

Forms and Functions of Written Codeswitching among College Students on Facebook: Implications on English Language Teaching
Authors: Riparip Eduard
Published: January 2025

The dearth of sociolinguistic investigations into written codeswitching (CS) has prompted the researcher to explore the forms and functions of codeswitching in college students' Facebook (FB) posts using Thurlow’s Typology of Communicative Themes and Functions. Further, the study examined how CS may affect English language teaching. The researcher used the descriptive-analysis method as the research design to detail the characteristics of a specific phenomenon, i.e., codeswitching on Facebook. Using convenience sampling, 175 students from two universities participated in the study. Results reveal that intersentential codeswitching is the most prevalent form among college students, followed by intra-word, intrasentential, and tag-switching. Moreover, most of their written code switches were categorized under InformationalRelational Orientation (IRO), indicating that students use Facebook to seek information, ask favors, and build relationships. Employing codeswitching in English language teaching may be considered a pragmatic language behavior for easy interaction and knowledge acquisition, especially for complex concepts in language learning. However, codeswitching should not be considered an alternative technique for teaching the English language, but the use of codeswitching may be allowed in class activities only to a limited extent. English language teachers should integrate online media literacy to familiarize learners with online communication norms and codeswitching patterns, recognize students’ diverse language repertoires, and adopt a balanced approach emphasizing fluency in standard English while recognizing the importance of codeswitching in communication.
The Importance of Implementation of Social and Behavioral Sciences in Undergraduate Medical Education
Authors: Salem Elfard  , Zinab Elfituri
Published: January 2025

Medical education has traditionally focused on healthcare's biological and clinical aspects, often overlooking the critical role of social and behavioral sciences. However, as the field of medicine evolves, there is a growing recognition that these disciplines are essential in cultivating well-rounded and socially conscious physicians. Integrating social and behavioral sciences into medical education offers numerous benefits that significantly enhance the development of future healthcare providers. Firstly, it fosters a more holistic understanding of patient care by emphasizing the influence of social determinants on health outcomes, which ultimately leads to improved medical practices tailored to diverse populations. Furthermore, students equipped with knowledge of behavioral sciences are better prepared to engage effectively with patients, employing communication techniques that build trust and facilitate adherence to treatment plans. This interdisciplinary approach also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as students learn to analyze complex interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors affecting health. Moreover, early exposure to these principles cultivates empathy and cultural competency, essential attributes in a rapidly diversifying patient demographic. As a result, integrating social and behavioral sciences not only enriches the educational experience but also contributes to the production of more competent and compassionate physicians. Thus, this review article aims to explore the significance of integrating social and behavioral sciences into medical education.
