The effect of corvitin on the indicators of the nitric oxide system in the kidneys under the conditions of the development of experimental pneumonia and adrenaline damage to the myocardium
Authors: Regeda M. , Shklyarskyi N.
Published: November 2024

Currently, the effect of corvitin on the indicators of the nitric oxide system in the kidneys in experimental pneumonia (EP) and adrenaline damage to the myocardium (APM) is not studied. The aim of our study was to find out the effect of the corvitin drug on the disturbed markers of the nitric oxide system in the kidneys in EP and APM.
The EP was reproduced according to the method of V.N. Shlyapnikov. by infecting animals with staphylococcus. APM was modeled by a single intravenous injection of an adrenaline solution.
The scientific work revealed an increase in the content of stable metabolites of nitric oxide and total NOS activity against the background of a decrease in the level of L-arginine in the kidneys in EP and APM, which dominated on the 14th day of comorbid pathology versus control.
The use of corvitin caused a corrective effect on the disturbed markers of the nitric oxide system in the kidneys in EP and APM.

Geoestrategias de paz y espacios de desenzarzamiento: diferentes procesos, diferentes espacios, a diferentes escalas y con diferentes calendarios
Authors: Cairo Carou Heriberto
Published: November 2024

La paz se construye en lugares específicos, que no son intercambiables, a través de prácticas espaciales definidas que construyen estructuras espaciales a diferentes escalas. Existe una gran cantidad de literatura sobre los procesos utilizados para construir la paz —el cómo de la construcción de la paz—; sin embargo, hay poca investigación que examine la cuestión de dónde ocurren la paz y la consolidación de la paz. Las zonas libres de armas nucleares (ZLAN) y las zonas de paz regionales (ZdeP) —y también las ZdeP locales— son espacios delimitados. Es decir, tienen un carácter principalmente territorial, aunque no en los habituales términos militaristas, porque todas ellas son iniciativas de desarme, por lo que son formas alternativas de entender la defensa. Las ZLAN son un concepto relacionado con la política de seguridad, de hecho, es una política de seguridad alternativa. En efecto, si entendemos el territorio como tecnología política, las zlan y las ZdeP son tecnologías  olíticas pacifistas, que destacan entre las que se proponen en este trabajo.
Staggered Health Policy Adoption: Spillover Effects and Their Implications
Authors: Elenev Vadim , Quintero Luis , Rebucci Alessandro , Simeonova Emilia
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the direct and spillover effects on mobility caused by the staggered adoption of stay-at-home orders (SHOs) implemented by U.S. counties to contain COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. We find that mobility in neighboring counties declines by a third to a half as much as in the counties that implement the SHOs. Furthermore, these spillovers are concentrated in counties that share media markets with treated counties. Using directional mobility data, we also find that declines in internal mobility in the neighbor counties account for a much larger proportion of the overall decline in mobility than decreases in traffic originating in the treated counties. Together, these results provide strong evidence that SHOs operate through information sharing and voluntary social distancing. Based on our estimates and a simple model of staggered SHO adoption, we construct counterfactual scenarios that separate the impact of policy coordination from that of adoption timing. We find that staggered implementation of SHOs could yield mobility reductions that are larger than coordinated but delayed SHO adoption.

Exploring Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions of Sustainability in Visual Arts Education
Authors: Potočnik Robert , Devetak Iztok , Ribič Luka
Published: November 2024

The concept of sustainability in visual arts education is a relatively new way of looking at content. Therefore, it is important that the contents of sustainability are systematically integrated into the educational process at all levels of education. In this research, special attention was paid to the specifics of understanding the complexity of the term “sustainability" of pre-service teachers who come from a different educational background and who will also carry out visual arts activities with different aged students in their future work. A free association method with online interviews and artwork analysis was used in this study, with 5 female pre-service teachers from four different European countries. The study revealed that pre-service teachers recognize examples of good practice in architecture, the cultural landscape, and various other visual arts messages - they know what good sustainable practice in the environment and the arts is and what is not. However, they show less understanding of the specifics of materials as carriers of material cultural heritage or of the artworks themselves, as well as of contemporary artistic practices that emphasize themes related to sustainable issues or development. It can be concluded that further interdisciplinary approaches should be used in reaching sustainability goals in visual arts education and wider.

In the present work, the characteristic of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) powder was investigated for its film coating on a Ti6Al4V metallic biomaterial. The β-TCP powder was synthesized by a solid-state reaction technique at different temperatures. The β-TCP formed at temperatures 900-1000 oC, while α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) was occurred at higher temperatures (≥1000 oC). Crystallite size increased with increasing temperature, but it decreased at temperatures higher than 1000 oC due to the formation of α-TCP. Furthermore, the amount of α-TCP phase increased with temperature. However, maximum crystallite size and density values were found for the 1000 oC powder. The 1000 oC powder was coated on a titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) by a dip coating technique. The coated surface presented a uniform grain with an average grain size of 3.21 μm. Bioactivity testing of the coated samples indicated that they had good bioactivity. The results indicate the possibility of developing the samples for biomedical applications
Influence of Waste Plastic Types on Product Yields through Pyrolysis Process Using a Novel Batch Reactor with a Fractional Condensation System

Published: November 2024

T
he conversion of waste plastics into oil through pyrolysis presents a promising alternative energy solution, addressing the significant environmental challenge posed by the accumulation of plastic waste. Despite numerous studies in this field, few have specifically focused on the design of a pyrolysis reactor incorporating six condensers connected in series. This research aimed to investigate the influence of waste plastic type through the pyrolysis process on product yield from three types of plastic waste: polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and multilayer plastic (ML). Pyrolysis was performed in a 50 L household reactor for a reaction time of 90 min with the heating rate of 10-15 °C/min. The results showed that the pyrolysis process produced three types of products: liquid, solid, and non-condensable gases, with liquid being the main product. The experimental results indicated that the plastic pyrolysis reactor produced the highest proportion of liquid product, followed by non-condensable gases, with only a small amount of solid residue. The liquid product yield was highest in HDPE at 82.1%, followed by PP at 74.4% and ML at 47.1%. The non-condensable gases yields were 17.8%, 25.0%, and 42.9%, respectively. The DGC technique verified the fuel properties, confirming the presence of kerosene, naphtha, diesel, and fuel oil in the chemical composition. This experiment showed that pyrolysis of plastic waste in a reactor with a fractional condensation system could generate liquid fuel oil. It offers a potential framework for the production of liquid fuel that can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels.

Published: November 2024

Aquatic insects ar
e among the most frequently used macroinvertebrates in freshwater monitoring and assessment worldwide. However, little attention has been paid to the inclusion of aquatic insects in the biological assessment of water quality and health, especially in Vietnam. In the current study, we altitudinally investigated the diversity of aquatic insects as well as their relationships with physico-chemical parameters in Thac Bac stream, Tam Dao national park, in which high-altitude sites highly experience human disturbance while low-altitude sites are conservative areas. A total of 122 species belonging to 111 genera, 56 families and 9 orders of aquatic insects were identified in the current study. Further, we found altitudinal changes, both in the biodiversity of aquatic insects and water quality parameters. The biodiversity of aquatic insects was higher in the low-altitude sites ranging from H’=3.31 in site St5 to H’=4.09 in site St6 compared to that of high-altitude stream sites ranging from H’=1.43 in site St1 to H’=2.29 in site St3. Moreover, a strong correlation between the aquatic insect biodiversity and several water quality parameters was found, in which dissolved oxygen and air temperature were positively correlated with the biodiversity index while altitude and electrical conductivity were negatively correlated with the biodiversity index. The results of this study provide a useful basis for appropriate water management using aquatic insects as bioindicators to assess human impacts on stream systems in Vietnam.
Antagonistic Potential of Trichoderma spp. Against Root-Knot Nematode Towards Development of Green Nematicidal Agents

Published: November 2024

Among plant par asitic nematodes, Meloidogyne (root-knot nematode) is one of the most economically important pests. The use of chemical nematicides is effective, however, can cause side effects on the environment and human health. For an environmentally friendly approach, the biocontrol methods are focused. This study aimed to evaluate the biological control of native Trichoderma spp. against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. It was found that T. virens K1-02 and T. viride Z2-01 inhibited M. incognita egg-hatching by 71.7 and 73.4 %, respectively, and increased the mortality of juveniles by more than 80.0 % at 7 days post-inoculation under laboratory conditions. Regarding pot assays of the Sida tomato plant, both species exhibited the potential to inhibit gall formation and reproduction of M. incognita. Gall and egg mass index were lower in tomato roots treated with Trichoderma spp. than in untreated control. The reproduction factor (Rf) was 5.0 and 3.6 when treated by T. virens K1-02 and T. viride Z2-01, respectively while the untreated control was 12.3. These Trichoderma spp. did not affect tomato root length and plant height. The enzyme assays showed that both Trichoderma species could produce cuticle-degrading enzymes (chitinase and protease), whereas T. viride Z2-01 exhibited the highest activity of protease at 1.7 U/ml. In addition, it could be pointed out that the native Trichoderma isolates killed M. incognita before it invaded the tomato plant which correlated with the low activity of plant response enzymes, peroxidase (POD), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in tomato roots. The antagonist potentials of these Trichoderma species could lead to the development of bio-nematicide for controlling root-knot nematode disease.
Forest Carbon Estimation Using Two Vegetation Structural Indices Derived from Terrestrial Laser Scanner: Vegetation Area Index and Leaf Area Index

Published: November 2024

Abo
ve-ground carbon at the stand level is often estimated from the combination of destructive and non-destructive methods using allometric equations. Today, terrestrial laser scanners provide three-dimensional (3D) data for forest structural assessments. We utilized the point clouds generated from light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to compute vegetation area index (VAI) and leaf area index (LAI), providing predictor variables besides the traditional above-ground carbon assessment. The stand above-ground carbon values of five forest plots were better using the VAI (R2 = 0.66) than LAI (R2 = 0.51) with the linear model fitting. However, the P-values are more than 0.05, which stands for no statistical significance. This study suggests scaling up to a large sample size and area, or downing the scale into individual trees that will promote better estimation of above-ground carbon in different forest types and conditions.

W
ood adhesives are vital in numerous construction, furniture manufacturing, and woodworking industries, with a growing demand for environmentally sustainable formulations. In this study, the impacts of blending polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) with natural rubber latex on wood adhesive strength were investigated. The aim was to develop high-performance adhesives while promoting sustainability. Various properties of the adhesive blends were characterized, including pH, solid content, gel time, water contact angle, FTIR spectra, mechanical properties, adhesion strength, and thermal analysis. The results showed that increasing natural rubber latex content enhanced surface bonding and flexibility, with 25% rubber content achieving optimal adhesive performance. Chemical analysis revealed interactions between PVAc and rubber components, influencing mechanical properties. Tensile shear strength testing indicated a balance between strength and flexibility with the 25% rubber blend. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results demonstrated changes in glass transition temperature, affecting mechanical properties. Overall, the study contributed to developing eco-friendly, high-performance wood adhesives, offering insights into polymer blends applications in various wood-based industries.

his work investigated the effectiveness of cationic salts combined with inorganic acids as washing agents for removing Cs-137 from electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). To evaluate their performance, various cationic salts, specifically BaCl2, KCl, and NH4Cl, were studied at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 M. Results demonstrated that removal efficiency using BaCl2 remained constant at 80%, while KCl and NH4Cl yielded 90.19%, and 90.11%, respectively. H2SO4 and HNO3 were selected as the inorganic acids. Effective combinations of 2.0 M KCl and 2.0 M NH4Cl cationic salts paired with 1.0 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M HNO3 were examined to determine their synergistic effects on enhancing Cs-137 extraction from contaminated EAFD. All experiments were conducted using a ratio of 1:2 contaminated EAFD to solvent. The combination of 2.0 M NH4Cl and 1.0 M H2SO4 demonstrated the most promising results, achieving Cs-137 removal efficiency of 96.09%. The structural characteristics of EAFD contamination, both pre- and post-treatment, were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).

Published: November 2024

In this brief report, we evaluate Health Pathfinder, a ‘whole health response’ to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) in the United Kingdom. We used two national datasets: monitoring data for high-risk cases, and a service-level database used to track the performance of DVA services across the UK. Drawing on a comparative interrupted time series analysis over 2018–2019, we considered the impact of implementation in each of the eight sites on rate of referral of high risk cases standardised by the number of adult women in each area, and on composition of victim-survivors seen by services. Implementation of Health Pathfinder was associated with a 10.9 per cent step change in the rate of high-risk referrals, and growth in subsequent quarters of 10.1 per cent. At the same time, implementation of Health Pathfinder was linked with a 33.6 per cent step change increase in the proportion of victim-survivors seen by services that were judged not to be at highest risk (that is, taking up services earlier). Our findings reflect both underlying system improvements across multiple stakeholders involved in Health Pathfinder as well as improved detection of DVA across a wider spectrum of risks, and provide additional evidence that multilevel interventions to improve DVA victim-survivors’ experiences are effective.
besta que hai en min: Suxeito e lingua na posanimalidade de Luz Pichel
Authors: Rodríguez Vega Rexina
Published: November 2024

Identificada desde a literatura castelá como unha das representantes da corrente de poesía «neorrural» e desde a literatura galega como unha das cultivadoras do que se deu en chamar «posruralismo» e que indaga na desaparición dun mundo e un modo de vida relacionado coa cultura campesiña, o conxunto da obra de Luz Pichel funciona, en realidade, como un ariete contra ambos os dous campos de recepción onde se inscribe, ao ofrecer sentidos non previstos de acordo cun programa de experimentación que une o inconformismo sociopolítico a un cuestionamento da linguaxe como ferramenta de representación do mundo. Neste traballo propoñémonos afondar na importancia do tratamento do tropo animal na poética de Pichel, por canto advertimos no seu rexeitamento sistemático á tradicional antropomofización do Outro animal e á animalización do Outro humano, o desexo de poñer en cuestión os fundamentos das oposicións xerárquicas que constitúen a visión hexemónica do suxeito occidental de acordo cunha práctica ética, política e retórica marcada pola busca da utopía.
Leitura Furiosa: uma poética da escuta
Authors: Pereira Mafalda
Published: November 2024

Este estudo pretende apresentar algumas das especificidades do projeto Leitura Furiosa, um encontro anual, em Portugal e em França, entre escritores, ilustradores e grupos de pessoas que vivem o seu quotidiano afastadas da escrita e da leitura, do qual resultam textos e ilustrações assinados coletivamente. Tendo simultaneamente um propósito artístico e educativo, visando o combate à iliteracia, a Leitura Furiosa tanto procura dar a conhecer aos grupos a importância da escrita e da leitura como também busca ampliar a escuta das vozes destes grupos, provenientes de contextos mais invisibilizados, na esfera pública. A partir da análise da metodologia do projeto, procura-se contextualizar a Leitura Furiosa como uma manifestação artística que resiste a uma categorização estável, possuindo algumas características das «literaturas de campo», mas também uma dimensão participativa e comunitária, de acordo com o pensamento de François Matarasso. Pretende-se também evidenciar o caráter dialógico do projeto, recorrendo ao pensamento de Paulo Freire, e demonstrar como o exercício da escuta desempenha um papel fulcral na dinâmica do projeto, que desagua numa prática artística centrada na ideia do «escrever com». Através da análise de alguns dos materiais literários elaborados em cocriação, este artigo procura demonstrar como a proposta da Leitura Furiosa se centra numa poética da escuta.
«Todos somos necesarios e necesarias»: relações entre poesia e movimentos sociais através da coletânea Sempre mar. Cultura contra a burla negra
Authors: Lourido Isaac
Published: November 2024

O artigo pretende estudar o livro coletivo Sempre mar. Cultura contra a burla negra, publicado em 2003 como parte do movimento de protesto contra o naufrágio do petroleiro Prestige frente às costas galegas e contra a gestão política desse acontecimento. Após o enquadramento da publicação no contexto mais alargado das relações entre poesia e movimentos sociais no âmbito do movimento cidadão Nunca Mais, são apresentados o quadro teórico e metodológico, bem como o estado da questão relativamente à bibliografia prévia existente sobre a poesia ligada a este acontecimento histórico. A segunda parte do artigo analisa os textos poéticos da coletânea, a partir de diferentes perspetivas: condições gerais do produto, pessoas participantes, repertórios temáticos e caraterísticas pragmáticas e enunciativas. Como conclusões principais, o artigo estabelece que esta publicação está estreitamente ligada ao movimento social como agência de participação política, frente a outras publicações da mesma época em que a agência do escritor, como intelectual ou notável, tinha um protagonismo mais destacado. Além disso, os repertórios temáticos predominantes estão muito ligados ao acontecimento imediato, embora a variabilidade repertorial seja bastante ampla. Globalmente, predomina o modelo convencional da poesia social ou comprometida, quase sempre monológica na sua apresentação pragmático-enunciativa, embora modelos alternativos, de tipo não lírico ou dialógico, encontrem também algum espaço.
Poética del acto fantasmal, entre la perplejidad y el compromiso: Xela Arias en el Festival da Poesía no Condado
Authors: Garrido Aniorte Noemí
Published: November 2024

Este artículo estudia la participación de Xela Arias en el Festival da Poesía no Condado organizado por la Sociedade Cultural e Desportiva do Condado de Salvaterra de Miño desde el año 1981, y en el que la poeta colaboró con asiduidad durante esa década. A partir del concepto acto fantasmal (Rubín 2013) se delimitará esta poesía orientada a la acción y difusión en un espacio público, consolidando una literatura de resistencia. Se analizará su contribución a la construcción de una identidad nacional en la que la defensa y valoración de la lengua y cultura gallegas toma especial importancia, después de una historia de silencio y represión, teniendo en cuenta la perspectiva género, que permite reflexionar sobre la posición subalterna de la escritura de mujeres dentro de una literatura minorizada, y las diferentes estrategias de visibilización y autoconciencia como escritora.
Só chegamos aonde não somos esperados. Uma leitura de O retorno, de Dulce Maria Cardoso
Authors: Vieira José
Published: November 2024

Neste artigo procede-se a uma leitura do romance O Retorno, de Dulce Maria Cardoso, a partir de reflexões de Eduardo Lourenço presentes em A Nau de Ícaro seguido de Imagem e Miragem da Lusofonia (1999), e O Labirinto da Saudade (1972). Para além do filósofo e ensaísta português, recorrer-se-á a noções de liquidez e fragmentação do sujeito em constante movimento presentes em Zygmunt Bauman, de modo a pensar como a identidade de Rui, protagonista do romance, e seu pai, Mário, são, por metonímia, não só o reflexo de muitos retornados, mas também a imagem do país a braços com a descolonização e com o futuro.
Relatando o fenómeno que foi o regresso de mais de quinhentas mil pessoas das antigas províncias ultramarinas, sobretudo de Angola e Moçambique, Dulce Maria Cardoso dá voz e palavra a um episódio marcante da história recente portuguesa. O Retorno é, portanto, um romance sobre uma ferida aberta que demonstra a chegada de milhares de pessoas a um lugar que não está à espera delas.
periplo de Teresita: sexilio galego na Arxentina de principios do século xx
Authors: Ferrández Daniela
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo reflexiona sobre a posibilidade de que Arxentina constituíse un destino preferente para o sexilio galego das primeiras décadas do século xx. Entendendo o sexilio como a migración forzada da disidencia sexual, repasaremos algúns exemplos centrándonos no de Teresita, unha coruñesa nada a finais do xix e que gañou fama internacional por transgredir os marcos sexuais normativos. A súa historia amosa evidencias da comunidade que esperaba a moitas sexiliadas galegas no Bos Aires desta época, á vez que dos intentos das autoridades e dos saberes expertos para hixienizar o corpo nacional. Deste xeito, permítenos situar un contexto no que se vencellan espazos, desprazamentos e incluso modas artísticas como o cuplé. En resumo, sostemos que a historia de Teresita, as súas idas e voltas e a análise do seu círculo relacional achegan pistas para analizar os posibles itinerarios partillados dunha parte da poboación galega cuxas vidas foron esquecidas e silenciadas polas narrativas oficiais.

Testimony of a sociologist of imprisonment
Authors: Andrade Dores António Pedro
Published: November 2024

A testimony is a selective representation of highly complex experiences. In this testimony I turn to the civilized imperial mindset also inculcated in schools and universities. I hope that this concept can help the understanding of how, even if unconsciously or against their will, teachers and schools give up independent thinking to fulfill the techno-scientific missions assigned to them by their profession.
The most important question for a sociologist remains unanswered: what has forty years of professional experience taught my generation of sociology professors?
Book: Using tasks in second language teaching. Practice in diverse contexts
Authors: Galimberti Valeria
Published: November 2024

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) emerged in the second language teaching context as a method that prepared learners for real-world language use by offering opportunities for speaking practice and meaning negotiation. Over time, tasks have also become increasingly popular pedagogic tools in the foreign language context, where opportunities for meaningful practice may otherwise be limited. However, some obstacles to the widespread implementation of TBLT remain, notably the limited availability of teaching materials and teacher training programs, and a certain reluctance to abandon traditional, grammar-based teaching practices. In this book, Lambert and Oliver present a selection of 17 papers dealing with a range of issues, from the formulation of general principles guiding task design to the description of TBLT curricula implementation in specific ESL and EFL contexts. The papers challenge some of the arbitrary assumptions preventing the adoption of tasks with younger and lower proficiency learners by proposing, for example, that the use of the first language (L1) does not always interfere with second/foreign (L2) acquisition, but can actually be beneficial for task performance, fostering meaningful L2 production. Overall, the book represents an exciting step forward towards bridging the gap between TBLT theory and classroom practice.
De la LOMCE a la LOMLOE: cambios y problemáticas del currículo de las asignaturas de Historia del Arte en materia de género
Authors: García-Sinausía Sandra , Valtierra Lacalle Ana
Published: November 2024

El panorama educativo español ha dado un giro en los últimos años, tanto a nivel de contenidos como de los saberes y valores que se imparten en los centros educativos. Con la llegada de la nueva Ley de educación, la LOMLOE (La Ley Orgánica 3/2020, de 29 de diciembre, por la que se modifica la LOE de 2006), podemos afirmar, tras la realización de esta investigación, que se han introducido modificaciones curriculares que se llevan reclamando décadas. En lo relativo a la inclusión de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), uno de los que más se ha tenido en cuenta en los diferentes aspectos de la legislación, y del cual trataremos en estas líneas, es el Objetivo número 5, relacionado con la Igualdad de género. Ahondaremos en la manera en que se ha incluido a las artistas y cómo se ha tenido en cuenta esta mirada feminista en la LOMLOE y en concreto en el BOCM (Boletín Oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid) en Historia del Arte.

Published: November 2024

Este trabajo se enmarca en el proyecto EGRAMINT (PID2019-105298RB-I00), cuyo objetivo principal es la elaboración de una gramática escolar interlingüística en la que se fomente la enseñanza reflexiva de las lenguas. En este artículo, presentamos los resultados de un estudio exploratorio sobre creencias acerca de la enseñanza de la gramática de futuros docentes (estudiantes de Grado de Educación Primaria y de Máster de Secundaria) de lenguas primeras y extranjeras. Con este fin, se diseñó un cuestionario de 38 preguntas que fue completado por más de 1200 futuros docentes de toda España. Nuestro objetivo principal es determinar sus creencias sobre saberes teóricos de la enseñanza de la gramática, criterios metodológicos y prácticas docentes predilectas. Los resultados demuestran que la necesidad de una enseñanza gramatical explícita constituye una representación consolidada para los futuros docentes encuestados; trabajar a partir de problemas observados en los propios textos y el uso de la lengua oral para reflexionar sobre fenómenos gramaticales en el aula son las prácticas preferidas por estos docentes en formación, que abandonan los ejercicios de manipulación en aras a fomentar una reflexión explícita desde un enfoque funcional.

Les noves tècniques i metodologies de l’arqueologia del conflicte han permès documentar de forma exhaustiva les restes dels camps de batalla sense la necessitat d’excavar de forma extensiva tota l’àrea d’estudi. Aquest nou camp d’investigació ha estat especialment prolífic en l’estudi de les restes bèl·liques de la Guerra Civil Espanyola, tot i que malauradament tant l’arqueologia com la historiografia es continuen centrant en aquelles batalles més conegudes. En el present article, es pretén demostrar que gràcies a un equip de reduïdes dimensions s’aconsegueix obtenir un gran volum d’informació sobre un dels fronts de guerra considerats per a molts com a secundaris, com és el cas de Tremp, amb una de les seves posicions més destacades, la muntanya de Sant Corneli.
Didàctica de la Guerra Civil espanyola: la guerra química
Authors: Yegros Pérez Álvaro , Jaume Martín Franc , Sebares-Valle Gemma , Jiménez Martínez Laura
Published: November 2024

En començar la Guerra Civil espanyola hom pensava que la guerra química tindria molt protagonisme. El precedent de la Primera Guerra Mundial suposava, al respecte, una experiència terrible. A Catalunya i des de diferents instàncies: Generalitat, Comitè de Milícies Antifeixistes, sindicats... van començar a prendre’s mesures de manera apressada per si es produïen atacs químics. El taller es planteja evocar quina era la percepció que respecte a possibles atacs amb gas, al front o la rereguarda, tenia la gent, quina era la informació i les mesures de prevenció i defensa. Es tracta d’un taller pensat per l’ensenyament secundari que pot desenvolupar-se sense massa complexitat i que ajuda a aproximar una època en la qual la possibilitat d’una guerra química esdevingué un autèntic malson. Actualment el taller és en fase d'experimentació a la Facultat d’Educació de la Universitat de Barcelona i posteriorment s’implementarà al Museu de Torre Balldovina, a Santa Coloma de Gramenet, en el marc de la musealització del seu refugi antiaeri.
La problemática de recrear Guerra Civil
Authors: Gracia Vera Pablo
Published: November 2024

La recreación de Guerra Civil es un tema que sigue siendo sensible para cierta parte de la sociedad. A pesar de su potencial para divulgar una conciencia social antimilitarista, sigue siendo vista con recelo y cautela. A la hora de utilizar la recreación histórica como herramienta, conocer sus problemas, tanto específicos como comunes a otras épocas, es una forma de estar alerta y evitar controversias innecesarias que pueden echar a perder el discurso y la función didáctica. El presente artículo es un análisis personal, fruto de la propia reflexión acerca de una trayectoria de ocho años como recreador, en toda clase de eventos y en contacto de numerosas asociaciones.
L'editorial del Grup de Recerca i d'Investigació d'Espais de la Guerra Civil (GRIEGC)
Authors: Cabezas Sánchez Adrián
Published: November 2024

Després d’un temps plantejant-ho, finalment l’any passat vam decidir donar un nou pas i obrir la nostra pròpia línia editorial dins de GRIEGC, coincidint gairebé amb el nostre desè aniversari. L’origen de crear aquesta editorial (anomenada com no podia ser d’una altra manera com GRIEGC), ve bàsicament perquè portem molts anys de recerca, de realitzar molts treballs sobre el terreny, i d’acumular material històric i inèdit. Per aquests motius, vam pensar que havia arribat el moment i que seria una bona iniciativa començar a publicar llibres amb temàtiques diverses, dintre sempre això si del tema general de la Guerra Civil.
Investigation of numerical and analytical solutions of 1D steady and transient flow in unsaturated layered soils
Authors: Chetti Ahmed , Trouzine Habib , Korichi Khaled , Hakmi Mohammed Amin
Published: November 2024

This study presents a comprehensive numerical simulation and analytical modeling of steady and transient flow in heterogeneously saturated soils. Solving the Richards equation involves challenges due to the nonlinearity between the pressure and the water content. Two constitutive models are used to describe the complex relationships between moisture content, hydraulic head, and hydraulic conductivity namely, Gardner model and Van Genuchten-Mualem model. Through detailed simulations, four configurations are investigated, including the capillary barrier effect, bi-layered soil dynamics in paddy fields, and infiltration in multi-layered soil in both saturated and unsaturated steady-state regimes. The comparison between numerical results and the established analytical model shows a good agreement. It underscores the usefulness of the model to reproduce saturated and unsaturated seepage flow in bi-layered and multi-layered soils. Moreover, it captures the dynamic interactions between infiltration and evaporation during the transient phase. These findings offer insights for water resource management, land subsidence mitigation, and environmental sustainability.
El alcance de las humanidades médicas en la era post-COVID-19: ¿Más allá del género?
Authors: González-Arias Luz Mar
Published: November 2024

Este artículo parte de la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Es relevante la perspectiva de género en el ámbito de las humanidades médicas en la era post-COVID-19? La urgencia de esta cuestión viene marcada por el protagonismo de la crisis climática en los debates actuales sobre salud pública, especialmente tras la pandemia de la COVID-19 y en el contexto de la llamada “era de la extinción”. Es preciso, por lo tanto, calibrar si el género continúa siendo un elemento prioritario en la agenda de las humanidades médicas o si, por el contrario, los debates sobre salud planetaria han contribuido a un retroceso en la visibilización de los cuerpos de las mujeres en la percepción social de la enfermedad en el siglo XXI. Con el fin de responder a dicha cuestión, este trabajo está estructurado en tres partes diferenciadas: en primer lugar, una visión panorámica, necesariamente breve, de los principales objetivos y alcance de las humanidades médicas y su intersección con la perspectiva de género. En segundo lugar, un breve recorrido por la creación literaria del confinamiento y primera ola de la pandemia en España, que servirá como ejemplo extrapolable a otras culturas y que demostrará la pertinencia de la mirada feminista en la percepción de la crisis sanitaria global. Esta parte incluye un pequeño recorrido por los trabajos académicos y de creación de este monográfico de la revista Lectora, pues cada uno de ellos ofrece también una parte de la respuesta a nuestra pregunta de partida. En tercer lugar, el trabajo concluye con unas reflexiones personales sobre la experiencia de la enfermedad en las mujeres que trabajan en la universidad contemporánea.
A Gilded Awakening: Othering the New Woman Narrative in Anzia Yezierska’s Short Fiction
Authors: Abizanda-Cardona María
Published: November 2024

The Progressive Era’s New Woman, epitomized in Edna Pontellier’s awakening, has been hailed as an icon of feminist rebellion. Recent scholarship, however, has interrogated the subversive potential of this icon, exposing its conservatist purchase on classism, eugenics, and white supremacism. Drawing from this intersectional inquiry into New Woman activism and literary production, this paper examines the short fiction of the Polish-American New Woman writer Anzia Yezierska (1880-1970). Through the appropriation of the awakening narrative, Yezierska sheds light on the failure of the first-wave feminist project to empower women in outsider locations and proposes alternative paths to liberation construed upon the working-class, Jewish values of community and solidarity, thus putting forward an alternative to the exclusionary designs of white feminism and anticipating intersectional demands by second and third wave feminism.
La nascita come rito di passagio nel racconto "Non tremare" di Dora Albanese
Authors: Reyes Ferrer María
Published: November 2024

La gravidanza, il travaglio e il puerperio, oltre a essere processi fisiologici, sono eventi culturali e sociali carichi di significati. Il parto rappresenta sia la conclusione di un processo naturale sia l’inizio della maternità. Questa transizione è codificata culturalmente nelle diverse fasi che compongono il rito di passaggio della maternità, che non sempre rispondono ai bisogni della madre o al suo benessere fisico ed emotivo. Attraverso il concetto di rito di passaggio di Van Gennep (1909), questo studio analizza la ritualizzazione del parto e del post partum nel racconto “Non tremare” (2009) della scrittrice italiana Dora Albanese. Si esplorerà la transizione della protagonista, Erica, da non-madre a madre, e come i riti hanno contribuito a definire l’esperienza di parto della donna. Il risultato è una maternità alienante, segnata da norme, regole e controlli esterni che allontanano la donna dalla propria esperienza.
De las mutilaciones físicas, psíquicas y textuales a la "clitorrevolución"
Authors: García Hubard Gabriela
Published: November 2024

Enfatizando las complejas interrelaciones disciplinares que se han ido tejiendo históricamente en torno al placer femenino, este texto ofrece un recorrido por algunos de los momentos clave de las mutilaciones físicas, psíquicas y textuales del clítoris, principalmente en Europa y Estados Unidos. En un primer momento exhibe que las mutilaciones genitales están presentes en muchas culturas desde la Antigüedad, solo que, bajo el cobijo de la medicina y con un afán de “curar”, se les llama clitorectomías. En un segundo momento muestra que la historia del clítoris tiene distintas aristas, y aunque la más dolorosa es la de las extirpaciones físicas, sería ingenuo pensar que las ablaciones del clítoris no tienen relación con las mutilaciones psíquicas teorizadas por Freud, y con las textuales, que van desde borrar el clítoris de las anatomías hasta la poca presencia que tiene el órgano del placer femenino en la literatura y el cine. Finalmente, se evoca la clitorrevolución, impulsada principalmente desde las artes plásticas.
El adulterio como síntoma: narrativas de la histeria en las novelas decimonónicas
Authors: Nastasescu Diana
Published: November 2024

La histeria, retirada de los manuales psiquiátricos y tradicionalmente un misterio para los expertos, ha evolucionado hasta ser entendida como una manifestación de emocionalidad y sexualidad femeninas excesivas. Figuras como Freud la reenfocaron hacia la salud mental, añadiéndole dimensiones psicológicas y alejándola del misticismo. Este artículo plantea una revisión de la histeria en las novelas de adulterio de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX para destacar cómo la literatura ha reflejado y perpetuado el estigma de esta enfermedad en las mujeres a partir de las protagonistas de La Regenta, Vilaniu, El primo Basílio, Cécile y Effi Briest. Con un marco teórico extraído de la crítica literaria feminista y de la literatura comparada, se han analizado las tensiones sociales de la época materializadas en la sintomatología histérica y en la sexualidad femenina.
Between Sickness and Sin: The Pathologization of Illicit Love in James Joyce’s Dubliners
Authors: Aláez Corral Máximo
Published: November 2024

Illicit or non-normative sentimental relationships appear repeatedly in many of the short stories that comprise James Joyce’s Dubliners (1914). This type of emotional link did not have any room in end-of-century Catholic Ireland, and any unorthodox relationship was regarded or punished as sinful and socially unacceptable, following the strict morality of the times. In this article, I intend to analyse some of the most significant stories in Dubliners, in order to dissect the ways in which late nineteenth-century Dublin’s double standards punished any subject steering away from established social norms concerning marriage and acceptable relationships, either by forcing the reclusion of the subjects to the domestic/private sphere or by imposing a normative marriage on them, or even by pushing them to the brink of madness, alcoholism, or suicide.
Imperialism of jackals and lions. The fiscal-military state in Portuguese Africa in the British and French African mirror, c. 1850–1940
Authors: Alexopoulou Kleoniki , Frankema Eowout
Published: November 2024

We adopt the metaphor of the “jackal” and the “lion” to explore whether variation in geo-political power of metropoles affected fiscal and military capacity building in colonial Africa. Zooming in on Portuguese Africa, we hypothesize that indigenous taxpayers in Angola and Mozambique were forced to invest more in order, security and their own subjugation, as Portugal lacked the wealth, the scale economies, the imperial cross-subsidies and the means of credible deterrence underpinning British and French imperial security policies. We show that military and police force expenditures extracted larger proportions of the colonial budget in Portuguese Africa. The Portuguese African army was also relatively large, relied extensively on forced labour recruitment and remained poorly equipped. While Britain and France supported African colonial armies with substantial metropolitan and imperial subsidies, and Britain also kept far fewer troops on African soil, the conditions of “jackal imperialism” placed greater burdens on long-term colonial state finances.
