The aim behind present experimental study is to perform detailed investigation to draw inference/ regarding levels of Metacognitive skills in; Senior Secondary Students of respective subject streams, i.e., Science, Humanities and Commerce. ; and few specific Demographics. Samples were collected from Senior Secondary Class Students available in various schools under educational boards such as Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) in Aligarh district, UP. Among plenty of Schools (Government and Private) available in the district sampling was done considering impact of specific demographics considered in study. Through random sampling, specific numbers of students were selected considering the ratio despite of the strength of respective stream. 500 senior secondary students comprising 254 boys and 246 girls belonging to Science, Humanities and Commerce stream were selected. The metacognitive skill scale developed by Madhu Gupta and Suman, (2017) used for collection of the data. To compare the different groups and to see the significant difference between groups Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.) t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were calculated with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The finding of the study revealed that there exist no significant difference in metacognitive skills of students based on Gender, i.e, in Boys and Girls, but there exists significant difference in metacognitive skills of senior secondary students on the bases of their stream selection (Science, Humanities and Commerce), habitat (Rural and Urban), board (UPMSP and CBSE) and types of schools (Government and Private).
POST COVID 19 MANAGING STRESSES AND EMOTIONAL BALANCE IN EMPLOYEES: SUPPLY CONTROL AND DEMAND REDUCTION OF DRUGS
Authors: Gandhi Hari Om , Gokhru Anjali
Published: December 2021

COVID 19 a pandemic has changed the entire scenario of the work force, people are working from home, salary cuts, and many have lost the job which has created tremendous stress in society. People are out of depression getting into substance abuse suffering a lot though Drugs has been with mankind for many centuries. In ancient times we have seen opium and cannabis in the graveyard of dead people for many centuries the use of the drug was limited on certain occasions and rituals. In modern times this problem has become acute. Millions of the people world over is suffering from this problem. Now there are two ways to deal with this, Catch as much you can and punish them which the world over and Governments are doing. Another approach is going to root cause of drug abuse and dealing with the problem. Though that seems an ideal solution it requires lots of patience and hard work though long term approach would be rewarding it needs consistent efforts in Government and Non-Government support. There have many models to deal with demand reduction approaches. This paper would discuss the legal aspect in dealing with supply control. The role of various national and international agencies dealing with this menace. Role of narcotics control bureau, local police and border guarding agencies. And demand reduction which includes various NGOs Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and Health Ministry and various other approaches. After dealing with both the approaches we can reach a mid way solution beneficial to all .at the same time post COVID 19 situation also can be understood properly.

Authors: Dash Monalisa , Panda Bhujendra Nath
Published: December 2021

Flipped classroom is a strategy in which students are given their initial exposure to ideas via instructional videos that they are told to view at home, freeing up in-class time to engage students in other student-centered activities. Although the impact of flipped classroom in higher education has been documented, it is necessary to investigate the impact of flipped classroom in K-12. As a result, a quasi-experimental research on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom strategy in mathematics is being undertaken in a secondary school in India. Flipped classroom has been proven to increase students' practical skills, analytical skills, and creative skills.

The family is universally regarded as the primary unit of society and family tend to be very close knit. When the stability, faith and confidence of the members of the family are threatened by a dispute, people mostly approach to the elders of the family or other authority who has influence or NGOs. If it doesn’t settle there they approach to the arms of judiciary like police or court to stop the dispute or secure their right within the family. While working in the family court witnessed and intervened in such cases regularly. Counselors in family court are the key persons as every case filed in the family court are directed to counselors for amicable settlement. The counselors are helping couples realize the root cause of their problem and engaging them in the problem solving process by intervening as counselor, educator, mentor, mediator, negotiator, conciliator, facilitator, etc. Once the rapport is built then they act as friend and philosopher to the couple.

Authors: Naik Raghumani
Published: December 2021

Shaivism, since its inception, has remained not only as a set of code for religious practice but also as a philosophy of life for the people. It is a pre- Aryan conception as revealed by the archaeologists and Historians remnants of Indus valley civilization. Shaivism has evolved as a popular cult since then and it is still a prominent religious faith among the people. Shiva’s Panchakshari mantra and Mrutunjay mantra is the life line for Rishi, Tapaswi Deva, Danav, Manav and Asuras . God Shiva, popularly known as Bholababa, easily gets pleased and offers boon or benediction to his devotees irrespective of any category who invokes Him. This cult is so popular that today in every village there is at least one Shiva temple one can find. The construction of Ashtasambhu temples at different places in Sambalpur district during Chauhan dynasty (1670-1848) is attributed to the popularity of Shaivism. They are Kedarnath Temple at Ambabhona, Baidyanath Temple at Deogaon, Balunkeswar Temple at Gaisama, Swapneswar Temple at Sorna, Vishweswar Temple at Soranda, Nilakantheswar Temple at Niljee, Bimaleswar Shiva temple at Huma and Mandhata Baba Temple at Maneswar. Ajit Singh introduced “Sitalsasthi Yatra” a unique form of Divine Wedding in humanistic form to live popularity of Shaivism.

Development is a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon. The correct philosophy of development like equity participation, gender equality, sustainability and empowerment of the weaker sections cannot be incorporated in the process of prosperity by Governmental Organizations or Non-Governmental Organizations alone but by their collaboration. As a result of which, the voluntary sector gained momentum for accelerating development in the socio-economic field. Being familiar with the conditions of people voluntary organizations really makes things viable, communicable, and accessible to them and tries its very best for the re-establishment of their attitudes, aspirations, accomplishments and abilities in a proper way. Developmental role of NGOs is preparing the people for a change which is basically an advocacy role, viz. development of education, incorporating self-sustainable development philosophy, and form public opinion about government policies or social issues, consciences for environmental problem, literacy, health, use of appropriate technology for family planning and empower the poor to overcome psychological inhabitations and opposition of appraisers. NGOs work in relief and delivery of public goods as direct suppliers and majority of the development by NGOs are NGOs and the Development of the Tribal People involved directly in productive activities. Role of direct supplier or implementer is relevant where bureaucracy is indifferent or inefficient, programs lack flexibility and cost effectiveness, poor are ignorant, elites are ambitious, success and services are reconditions for motivation, etc.
VOCATIONALIZATION OF EDUCATION THROUGH RUSA

Published: December 2021

India has a population of over 1.35 billion and a workforce of 460 million. To be able to provide employment to such a large number of people is a challenge, which becomes even more daunting as the population grows by more than 1.6 % every year. Unemployment by the current daily status measure is 6.2% of the labour force (NSSO Round 2009-10), which amounts to 27.6 million. In terms of demographics, almost 35% of Indians are younger than 15 years of age, whilst 18% fall within the age group of 15-24. The median age of India is 24 years , making it one of the youngest populations in the world. 54% of India’s rural workforce is self-employed (mainly in agriculture, 39%, but a significant share in non-agriculture, 15%), many of whom remain very poor. In urban areas, the self-employed constitute 42.6% (NSSO 2007-08), among whom the incidence of poverty may be lower, but high enough to be a source of concern. Nearly 36% in rural areas are either agricultural or other labor, usually casual workers. There are a negligible number of regular employees in rural areas, and in urban areas only about 13% are regular employees, of which two-fifths are employed by the public sector. More than 90% of the labour force is employed in the unorganized sector, i.e. sectors which don’t offer social safety and other benefits of employment in the organized sector.

To store CO2 in geological reservoirs, expansion valves have been used to intentionally release supercritical CO2 from high-pressure containers at a source point to lower-pressure pipelines and transport to a selected injection site. Using expansion valves, however, has some shortcomings: (i) the fluid potential, in the form of kinetic energy and pressure which can produce mechanical work or electricity, is wasted, and (ii) due to the Joule-Thomson cooling effect, the reduction in the temperature of the released CO2 stream might be so dramatic that it can induce thermal contraction of the injection well causing fracture instability in the storage formation. To avoid these problems, it has been suggested that before injection, CO2, should be heated to a temperature slightly higher than that of the reservoir. However, heating could increase the cost of CO2 injection. This work explores the use of a Tesla Turbine, instead of an expansion valve, to harvest the potential of CO2, in the form of its pressure and kinetics, to generate mechanical work when it is released from a high-pressure container to a lower-pressure transport pipeline. The goal is to avoid throttling losses and to produce useful power because of the expansion process. In addition, due to the friction between the gas and the turbine disks, the expanded gas temperature reduction is not as dramatic as in the case when an expansion valve is used. Thus, as far as CO2 injection is concerned, the need for preheating can be minimized.

The current study aimed to examine if sex can significantly predict risk for lifetime major depressive episodes among adults aged 65 and older with and without adjustment for covariate variables of race, education, marital status, health, and poverty. Secondary data was obtained from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health public-use data file to achieve study goals. The study participants were males and females aged 65 years or older. The unweighted sample included 3,969 adults aged 65 years or older, representing a weighted population size of 50,986,065.86 in the US. Lifetime major depressive episode.The study findings confirmed that sex could significantly predict risk for lifetime major depressive episodes among adults aged 65 or older with and without adjustment for health determinants of race, education, marital status, health, and poverty. Four of the five variables, including race, education, health, and poverty, were significant once as covariate variables adjusted for and once as predictor variables. In contrast, marital status was insignificant both as a covariate and a predictor variable. Close attention is required to the adults aged 65 or older at risk for lifetime major depressive episode diagnosis, particularly women, to meet their unique needs.

Published: December 2021

Background

Critically ill patients are at risk of developing a postintensive care syndrome (PICS), which is characterized by physical, psychological, and cognitive impairments and which dramatically impacts the patient’s quality of life (QoL). No intervention has been shown to improve QoL. We hypothesized that a medical, psychological, and social follow-up would improve QoL by mitigating the PICS.

Objective

This multicenter, randomized controlled trial (SUIVI-REA) aims to compare a multidisciplinary follow-up with a standard postintensive care unit (ICU) follow-up.

Methods

Patients were randomized to the control or intervention arm. In the intervention arm, multidisciplinary follow-up involved medical, psychological, and social evaluation at ICU discharge and at 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter. In the placebo group, patients were seen only at 12 months by the multidisciplinary team. Baseline characteristics at ICU discharge were collected for all patients. The primary outcome was QoL at 1 year, assessed using the Euro Quality of Life-5 dimensions (EQ5D). Secondary outcomes were mortality, cognitive, psychological, and functional status; social and professional reintegration; and the rate of rehospitalization and outpatient consultations at 1 year.

Results

The study was funded by the Ministry of Health in June 2010. It was approved by the Ethics Committee on July 8, 2011. The first and last patient were randomized on December 20, 2012, and September 1, 2017, respectively. A total of 546 patients were enrolled across 11 ICUs. At present, data management is ongoing, and all parties involved in the trial remain blinded.

Conclusions

The SUVI-REA multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to assess whether a post-ICU multidisciplinary follow-up improves QoL at 1 year.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus carry differential risks to public health. The Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant, first identified in Botswana on November 11, 2021, has spread globally faster than any previous variant of concern. Understanding the transmissibility of Omicron is vital in the development of public health policy.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to compare SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks driven by Omicron to those driven by prior variants of concern in terms of both the speed and magnitude of an outbreak.

METHODS

We analyzed trends in outbreaks by variant of concern with validated surveillance metrics in several southern African countries. The region offers an ideal setting for a natural experiment given that most outbreaks thus far have been driven primarily by a single variant at a time. With a daily longitudinal data set of new infections, total vaccinations, and cumulative infections in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, we estimated how the emergence of Omicron has altered the trajectory of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. We used the Arellano-Bond method to estimate regression coefficients from a dynamic panel model, in which new infections are a function of infections yesterday and last week. We controlled for vaccinations and prior infections in the population. To test whether Omicron has changed the average trajectory of a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, we included an interaction between an indicator variable for the emergence of Omicron and lagged infections.

RESULTS

The observed Omicron outbreaks in this study reach the outbreak threshold within 5-10 days after first detection, whereas other variants of concern have taken at least 14 days and up to as many as 35 days. The Omicron outbreaks also reach peak rates of new cases that are roughly 1.5-2 times those of prior variants of concern. Dynamic panel regression estimates confirm Omicron has created a statistically significant shift in viral spread.

CONCLUSIONS

The transmissibility of Omicron is markedly higher than prior variants of concern. At the population level, the Omicron outbreaks occurred more quickly and with larger magnitude, despite substantial increases in vaccinations and prior infections, which should have otherwise reduced susceptibility to new infections. Unless public health policies are substantially altered, Omicron outbreaks in other countries are likely to occur with little warning.
Лістеріоз: огляд проблеми, презентація клінічного випадку лістеріозного сепсису у 4-місячної дитини

Published: December 2021

Лістеріоз — це інфекційне захворювання, спричинене мікроорганізмами Listeria monocytogenes. Зараження людини може відбуватися фекально-оральним, аерогенним, трансплацентарним шляхами. Захворюваність в Україні на лістеріоз реєструється на спорадичному рівні, у вигляді поодиноких випадків, не пов’язаних між собою. Лістеріозу властиві висока летальність та поліморфізм клінічних проявів. Клініка хвороби характеризується поліорганністю: ураженням центральної нервової системи, септичними проявами, абортами, маститами; лістеріоз також може перебігати у формі безсимптомного носійства. У разі ураження нервової системи з’являються ознаки менінгіту, менінгоенцефаліту або абсцесу мозку. Актуальність проблеми діагностики та лікування лістеріозу обумовлена спорадичністю захворювання, поліморфізмом клінічних проявів, труднощами етіологічної верифікації діагнозу. Особливістю наведеного випадку стала принципова діагностична помилка при встановленні діагнозу: дитині не був встановлений сепсис. Лістеріоз у цієї дитини мав прогредієнтний перебіг з формуванням септичної форми. Проте лістеріоз — це рідкісна інфекція, тому прижиттєво було складно запідозрити саме цю інфекцію.

Актуальність. Циркуляція різних штамів вірусу кору тісно пов’язана з регіоном та рівнем захворюваності, оскільки циркулюючі штами можуть змінюватись в період епідемічних спалахів та в міжепідемічні періоди. За даними ВООЗ, найбільш поширеним під час епідемічних спалахів у всьому світі є генотип B3. Тому типування циркулюючих штамів вірусу кору, особливо під час епідемічного спалаху, є важливим процесом, у тому числі й з метою прогнозування розвитку епідемії. Метою даного дослідження була ідентифікація та визначення генотипу циркулюючих в Україні штамів вірусу кору в період 2012–2019 років. Матеріали та методи. Була використана та проаналізована звітна документація ДУ «Одеський обласний лабораторний центр» МОЗУ в Одеській області за 2012–2019 роки щодо дослідження матеріалів від хворих з підозрою на кір з використанням молекулярно-біологічних, генетичних, аналітичних та статистичних підходів. Відповідно до стандартного протоколу ВООЗ для секвенування та проведення філогенетичного аналізу від пацієнтів виділяли циркулюючі штами вірусу кору з використанням спеціальної культури клітин Vero/SLAM, а після культивування з отриманого вірус-вміщуючого матеріалу виділяли РНК вірусу кору та проводили ЗТ-ПЛР. Отриману кДНК відправляли на генотипування, яке проводилось у референс-лабораторії ВООЗ з діагностики кору та краснухи в м. Люксембурзі. Результати. За період 2012–2014 років було виділено 20 штамів вірусу кору з 45 проб (сеча та носоглоткові змиви) від хворих з діагнозом «кір». У 2015–2016 роках виділення вірусу не проводилось через одиничні випадки захворювання. У 2017 році було виділено 24 штами вірусу зі 164 проб. Висновки. Отримані в ДУ «Одеський обласний лабораторний центр» результати свідчать, що у міжепідемічний період 2012–2014 років у регіоні циркулював переважно генотип D4, а починаючи з 2017 року, коли спостерігається підвищення кількості захворілих, пов’язане з новим епідемічним спалахом, на півдні України циркулює переважно генотип В3, генетичної лінії MVs/Kabul.AFG/20.2014/3 B3. Як бачимо, ці дані цілком збігаються з даними, наведеними у літературних джерелах, щодо циркуляції генотипів, які зустрічались у певний час в Європейському регіоні залежно від кількості захворілих.

Published: December 2021

Faith is the foundation of all religions. Sporting practices may be an important site for both private and public expressions or exercises of religious faith. Beyond knowing or construing a deeper meaning to life, the exercise of religious faith may likewise serve as a coping mechanism within the sports context. Specifically, religious practice may help athletes manage the uncertainty of outcome in sport, as well as their fear of sustaining a serious injury. Given the potential psychological benefit of religious faith within this context, researchers have hypothesized that college athletes would demonstrate higher levels of religious faith than other post-secondary students. The current study seeks to expand on this research, examining hypothesized differences among college athletes at a large, public Division I university on the west coast of the United States. Participants completed the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith (SCSRF)—Short Form (Plante, Vallaeys, Sherman, & Wallston, 2002), a five-item self-report measure utilized to assess strength of religious faith regardless of religious affiliation. Findings suggests that both level of athletic competition and racial identification contribute to higher levels of religious faith. That racial identity was a stronger predictor than level of athletic competition is worthy of further exploration from both a social and historical perspective.
Towards a Semantic Interoperable Flemish Research Information Space: Development and Implementation of a Flemish Application Profile for Research Datasets
Authors: Neyens Evy , Vancauwenbergh Sadia
Published: December 2021

In Flanders, Research Performing Organizations (RPO) are required to provide information on publicly financed research to the Flemish Research Information Space (FRIS), a current research information system and research discovery platform hosted by the Flemish Department of Economics, Science and Innovation. FRIS currently discloses information onresearchers, research institutions, publications, and projects. Flemish decrees on Special and Industrial research funding, and the Flemish Open Science policy require RPOs to also provide metadata on research datasets to FRIS. To ensure accurate and uniform delivery of information across all information providing institutions on research datasets to FRIS, it isnecessary to develop a common application profile for research datasets. This article outlines the development of the Flemish application profile for research datasets that was developed by the Flemish Open Science Board (FOSB) WorkingGroup Metadata and Standardization. The main challenge was to achieve interoperability among stakeholders, which in part had existing metadata schemes and research information infrastructures in place, while others were still in the early stages of development.
Experience in Manufacturing and Mastering Roll Forming Mills for the Production of Profiled Flooring
Authors: Tepin N.V. , Khrabrov V.А. , Kniazev S.N.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study is to develop and master the designs of rolling mills for the production of profile flooring. In recent years, the volume of the profile flooring production has been increasing. This leads to an increase in the number and expansion of types of structures of rolling mills. An urgent problem in the production of rolling mills is not only ensuring the high quality of the products, but also choosing the optimal design of the rolling mill from the point of view of reliability, rigidity and manufacturability. The designs of rolling mills are considered: with stands without a frame (housingless stands); with frames representing steel plates, with openings for the installation of bearing supports of working rolls; with frames made of stand; with free-standing frames for each cage made of steel plates. Also, different types of roller drive (using gears and a chain drive), adjustment methods are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of each design are presented. Based on the experience of implementing (mastering) mill designs in relation to the height of the profile of the resulting sheet, it can be noted that for corrugated profiles with a corrugation height of no more than 16 mm, a rolling mill with an intercellular distance of 200...300 mm and a bed representing steel plates, with openings for installing bearing supports of working rolls; for profiles with a corrugation height of more than 16 mm, rolling mills with an intercellular distance of more than 350 mm and beds of stands with guides are optimal. It is rational to drive only the lower rolls in order to reduce the cost of the drive and improve the speed mode. In mills with a bed representing steel plates, with openings and an intercellular distance of up to 300 mm, it is advisable to use a drive of working shafts using gears. And as for rolling mills with an intercellular distance of more than 350 mm and in which the frames are made of stands with guides, it is desirable to equip them with a chain drive of rotation of the working rolls.

Religious psychoses and various forms of superstition are widespread, as a rule, in the days of severe upheavals and in the times of crisis in history. One of the most common phenomena of this kind in the 19th - first half of the 20th century was the discovery of holy wells or springs, in the waters of which numerous pilgrims observed visions with images of icons and faces of saints, as well as other paintings, most often on religious or historical themes. The purpose of the study is to analyze the distinctive features and the range of narratives about a certain group of events that are considered miraculous in the folk tradition - the appearance of saints and icons in the water. It is established that a place of pilgrimage is often a symbolic sacred center of a certain area (spring, well, krinitsa, bend of the river), or a certain narrow-local territory (hospitals, houses, churches). The most susceptible categories of the population - young girls and boys, elderly widows, etc...

Published: December 2021

The article deals with the features of the implementation of atheistic work in one of the republics of the North Caucasus - the Kabardian ASSR in the 40s-50s of the 20th century. The main directions of implementation of this work are analyzed: 1) indirect-atheistic work using the mass media available at that time; 2) direct-work carried out by direct communication of propagandists-agitators with the audience on the ground. A general description of the features of the implementation of atheistic work in this period, the techniques and methods used for this purpose, is given. The emphasis is placed on the widespread dissemination of natural science views to the masses, together with the foundations of Marxism-Leninism, as opposed to religious ideas. The paper points out a number of key problematic issues that reduced the quality and effectiveness of the field atheist work carried out - the lack of specialists, excessive focus on mass participation, lack of targeting...

Este libro presenta los resultados del análisis de la autopercepción del policía frente al Modelo Nacional de Vigilancia Comunitaria por Cuadrantes y la percepción de la calidad del servicio por la ciudadanía en el municipio de Tuluá, Valle del Cauca. Para ello, se parte de una teoría fenomenológica con un modelo de autopercepción social para la comprensión de las realidades por parte de cada individuo desde su imaginario de acuerdo con su cultura y contexto. De esta manera se valora el modo en que se observa y evalúa la situación estudiada. La metodología utilizada para el estudio fue de tipo descriptivo, con un enfoque cualitativo a partir del cual se aplicó una encuesta a 95 policías y 600 ciudadanos y se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a veinte uniformados en el segundo trimestre del año 2019. Para la etapa anterior, se utilizó la técnica de estudio y análisis de datos. Se obtuvo como resultado que los policías que trabajan en la vigilancia se ven afectados por factores afines o propios del funcionamiento del modelo y la forma como se evalúa su desempeño policial en los turnos asignados. Por otro lado, se encontró que la ciudadanía expresa su satisfacción de manera regular en la prestación del servicio policial. Lo anterior abarca varios aspectos, tales como el desconocimiento de los mecanismos de funcionamiento de los cuadrantes y la asignación del policía en sus zonas laborales, la dinámica del patrullaje y la atención a los llamados de emergencia, entre otros.
La época capitalista
Authors: Montaño Oliveros Jessica
Published: December 2021

Traducción del francés al español de Jessica Montaño Oliveros

Este artículo defiende la idea de que el capitalismo debe entenderse como un fenómeno de época, es decir, como un modo de vida históricamente específico y temporalmente limitado, cuyas dinámicas sociales y temporales, que no están destinadas a durar para siempre, lo desligan de las épocas históricas anteriores y futuras. La característica más común del capitalismo (un crecimiento económico secular prolongado en términos de capital per cápita) ha traído grandes beneficios a la especie humana, no solo al mejorar el bienestar económico, sino al dotar a las personas con cuerpos más grandes, más fuertes y más resistentes; además de incrementar de manera radical la esperanza de vida. También hizo posible un sorprendente aumento de los poderes sociales en cuanto a lo tecnológico, lo educativo y lo científico. Experimentar un crecimiento económico prolongado ha dado lugar a un sentido particular del tiempo, abierto y progresivo, que ha hecho posible la consciencia histórica moderna. Entretanto, la constante mercantilización de las relaciones sociales dentro del capitalismo ha permitido liberar a los individuos de la dominación basada en el estatus personal, al tiempo que los somete a formas más abstractas de dominación. La destrucción creativa, mecanismo esencial del capitalismo para producir un crecimiento económico prolongado, también ha generado un patrón cíclico imposible de manejar, lleno de expansiones y crisis, que ha creado nuevas formas de inseguridad, a la vez que tiende a sacar a las personas de la pobreza extrema. Además, el desarrollo capitalista siempre ha sido desigual a nivel espacial. Finalmente, hay razones para creer que la era capitalista está llegando a su fin. La forma que tome la era poscapitalista dependerá de la manera en que usemos colectivamente los poderes sociales que la era capitalista produjo —la ciencia y la tecnología, obviamente—, pero también la consciencia histórica crítica que yace en el corazón de la historia de las ciencias sociales.
Arent van Bolten y la comicidad de lo grotesco. A propósito de los dibujos que integran la revista Ciencias Sociales y Educación n.º 19
Authors: Cardona-Rodas Hilderman
Published: December 2021

«En los dibujos de Arent van Bolten (1573-1633), quien fue retratado por el grabador y dibujante holandés Jacob Matham en 1607, la nariz de sus animales fantásticos está al nivel del ano. Sus obras muestran la experiencia estética de lo grotesco, en cuanto imágenes del cuerpo y la vida corporal en su paroxismo cómico. Aquí el cuerpo grotesco representado pone el acento en grietas y pliegues, a partir de las cuales el mundo se introduce en la fábula visual representada. Además, exhala humores y sonidos paradójicos que le dan fuerza a una idea del cuerpo que se debate en una dialéctica en reposo (Benjamin, 2010) y que se agita al conmover el carácter rígido de la mirada en el dinamismo de la imaginación de lo imposible en lo posible.»

Published: December 2021

A partir de la revisión de la extensión en América Latina y la definición de las denominadas prácticas socioeducativas (PSE) que se proyectan en las universidades nacionales argentinas, analizamos los desafíosque representa esta forma de vinculación social para la novel carrera de arqueología en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Para ello, contextualizamos nuestro caso de estudio situado en el norte de la provincia de Mendoza, centro oeste argentino. Realizamos un análisis de antecedentes sobre la extensión haciendo foco en aquellos momentos, conceptos y paradigmas que permitieron establecer formas igualitarias de construcción del conocimiento entre universidad y entorno. Sobre este legado, definimos las principales características de las PSE. Posteriormente, revisamos los antecedentes en cuanto al rol social y a la extensión en arqueología latinoamericana, y consideramos los casos regionales. Finalizamos exponiendo los desafíos que representan las PSE como formas integrales de extensión en la formación universitaria en arqueología y que implican redefinir la propia disciplina en cuanto al rol del profesional, su vinculación con el entorno y los sujetos sociales.
