Published: February 2023

On the basis of the research carried out by the authors on the dynamics of changes in Ukrainian volunteerism under conditions of armed Russian aggression, the role and significance of digitalization, platformization, the involvement of information and communication technologies (ICT), network technologies in the processes of strengthening the capacities of the volunteer movement are revealed. The authors made a comparative analysis of two waves of activation of Ukrainian volunteering during 2014-2022, determined the specifics and main trends of its development. The effectiveness and necessity of the widest possible use of the possibilities of modern ICT, digital, and network technologies is substantiated – in order to strengthen the capacities of the Ukrainian volunteer movement and attract its resources to the needs of strengthening the country's defense capabilities, providing life support for the Ukrainian population that suffered from armed Russian aggression, and further post-war recovery of Ukraine.
Managing the Renovation of the National Economy in Ensuring Energy Decentralization and Energy Security
Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of the NAS of Ukraine, Borodina O.
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to an analytical review of the situation in the industrial and energy sectors of Ukraine, taking into account the regional component and given the extent of destruction caused by the armed conflict. It is proposed and substantiated the hypothesis that the SMART-chain of administrative-budgetary-energy decentralization in the shortest possible time to protect the economy of Ukraine from the challenges of the postwar period. The national resource potential of energy efficient and energy saving technologies is systematized, applied recommendations are provided to support state and local energy development trends, namely: energy storage projects, distributed and micro-generation, Net Energy Metering projects to support small projects in the energy sector. Proposals for institutional changes to establish a Decarbonization / Green Energy Transition Agency in Ukraine, with broad communication powers and the ability to make decisions on reducing carbon emissions in all areas, are presented. The possibility and expediency of applying the concept of niarshoring in Ukrainian industry (with the potential to use Ukraine's industrial and logistics infrastructure as a mega-industrial park for the EU and the mutual benefit of such a project) and in the national energy sector (to improve the EU energy balance) . The energy balance of Europe for the last 5 years is analyzed, the negative dynamics of its development is demonstrated. To improve the situation, the forecast of energy prices for individual EU countries was calculated taking into account Ukraine's integration into the European energy system. The analysis and calculations revealed a potentially possible level of price reductions in selected EU countries up to 20-30%. Recommendations for improving the efficiency of energy management at the regional level are provided, in particular, ensuring transparency in the development of renewable energy sources, using significant national biofuel potential and increasing natural gas production, developing a business model of a gas distribution center in Western Ukraine energy market.
Assessment of the Level of Institutional Convergence in Ukraine and Ukrainian Industry
Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of the NAS of Ukraine, Serdiuk O.
Published: February 2023

Based on the analysis of international indices characterizing the quality of institutions, an assessment of the level of institutional convergence in Ukraine and Ukrainian industry was made. Internal indicators of indices (sub-indices), which are informative about convergent/divergent processes, are taken into account. It was established that for the purposes of assessing the level of institutional convergence in the state as a whole, the following indicators are informative: political stability and absence of violence; absence of corruption; effectiveness of law enforcement; protection of physical property rights. At the same time, it was established that in the case of Ukraine, the indicator of political stability and absence of violence is not a self-sufficient characteristic of convergent/divergent processes, since its indicator is affected by external threats, and therefore it was excluded from the calculations. Indicators are unified to a single rating scale from 0 to 1, where 0 corresponds to absolute divergence, and 1 to complete convergence. It was established that the level of institutional convergence in Ukraine corresponds to the indicator - 0.44. Informative indicators of the absence of corruption, protection of physical property rights and protection of patents have been determined for the industry. Based on these indicators, an integral indicator of 0.475 was calculated, which characterizes the level of institutional convergence in industry. A mediocre indicator determines the expediency of implementing a policy to increase it.

Authors: Pennington Betty , Bell Steve , Wright Adam , Hill James E
Published: February 2023

Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of defibrillators (including automated external defibrillators) and timely treatment by emergency medical services are known to increase the chances of survival for a patient experiencing an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this is unclear from examining previous literature. This commentary critically appraises a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, which assessed the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on prehospital care for OHCA.

Machine learning assisted inverse design of microresonators
Authors: Pal Arghadeep , Ghosh Alekhya , Zhang Shuangyou , Bi Toby , Del’Haye Pascal
Published: February 2023

The high demand for fabricating microresonators with desired optical properties has led to various techniques to optimize geometries, mode structures, nonlinearities, and dispersion. Depending on applications, the dispersion in such resonators counters their optical nonlinearities and influences the intracavity optical dynamics. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of a machine learning (ML) algorithm as a tool to determine the geometry of microresonators from their dispersion profiles. The training dataset with ∼460 samples is generated by finite element simulations and the model is experimentally verified using integrated silicon nitride microresonators. Two ML algorithms are compared along with suitable hyperparameter tuning, out of which Random Forest yields the best results. The average error on the simulated data is well below 15%.
Resonance phenomena inside a slab of epsilon-near-zero material
Authors: Muys Peter
Published: February 2023

This is the third paper in a series devoted to the study of the volume plasmon in an ENZ slab. In the first [1], we calculated the electric field inside the slab, using the Airy formulas at the plasma resonance frequency and eliminating the singularity factors.
In the second [2], we found that at plasma resonance, the volume plasmon is a null vector field. This gives the resonant plasmon properties which are both longitudinal and transversal.
We present a model for a semiconducting slab, which is embedded in dielectrics and not in vacuum. This creates the possibility to describe volume and surface plasmons . Moreover, when we feed this model with the hydrodynamic Drude model, we are able to observe also longitudinal field and new resonance phenomena.
We will complete the study of the volume plasmon by considering off-resonance situations in a collisional plasma. The plasmon is then no longer a null field, although longitudinal fields stay possible. More new phenomena appear, which we will describe in detail. Where possible, we give analytical results, although a number of findings can only be reported graphically for the moment, due to the complexity of the equations.
Anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody status is associated with cancer mortality: A longitudinal analysis from the Japanese DAIKO prospective cohort study

Paradoxically, patients with advanced stomach cancer who areHelicobacter pylori-positive (HP+) have a higher survival rate than those who are HP-. This finding suggests that HP infection has beneficial effects for cancer treatment. The present study examines whether HP+individuals have a lower likelihood of death from cancer than those who are HP-. Prospective cohort data (n= 4,982 subjects enrolled in the DAIKO study between 2008–2010) were used to assess whether anti-HP antibody status was associated with cancer incidence. The median age in the primary registry was 53 years-old (range 35–69 years-old). Over the 8-year observation period there were 234 (4.7%) cancer cases in the cohort and 88 (1.8%) all-cause deaths. Urine anti-HP antibody data was available for all but one participant (n = 4,981; 99.98%). The number of HP+and HP-individuals was 1,825 (37%) and 3,156 (63%), respectively. Anti-HP antibody distribution per birth year revealed that earlier birth year was associated with higher HP+rates. With a birth year-matched cohort (n= 3,376), all-cancer incidence was significantly higher in HP+individuals than those who were HP-(p = 0.00328), whereas there was no significant difference in the cancer death rate between HP+and HP-individuals (p = 0.888). Cox regression analysis for prognostic factors revealed that the hazards ratio of HP+was 1.59-fold (95%CI 1.17–2.26) higher than HP-in all-cancer incidence. Potential systemic effects of HP+status may contribute to reduced likelihood of death for patients after an initial diagnosis of cancer.

Published: February 2023

One-third of cesarean deliveries (CDs) are repeat operations, of which the majority are low-order, second (CD2) and third (CD3). The study objectives were to identify risk factors for a complicated maternal CD among women undergoing a repeat low-order CD and to develop a predictive model for at-risk women. A retrospective longitudinal follow-up study was conducted in a single medical center, during 2005–2016. Women who underwent both CD2 and CD3 at the site were included. Those with placenta accreta or a caesarean hysterectomy were excluded. A composite complicated maternal CD was defined by either uterine rupture/dehiscence, blood transfusion, relaparotomy, admission to the intensive care unit or prolonged operative time >90th percentile. Data was analyzed comparing between CD2 to CD3, each woman served as her own control. Univariate analysis followed by a multivariate logistic regression modeling were performed with an OR of 95% CI defining significance. The study group comprised of 1,331 women. A complicated CD occurred in 159 (12%) vs. 226 (17%) of CD2 vs. CD3 respectively, (p<0.001). Women with a complicated CD2 were at higher risk for complications in CD3, aOR 2.3 (95% CI 1.5, 3.3). Sub-Saharan African origin and preterm delivery at CD3 were both risk factors for a complicated CD3, aOR 3.7 (95% CI 1.9, 7.3) and aOR 1.7 (95% CI 1.1, 2.7), respectively. The multivariate regression model included 1328 cases, was statistically significant, χ2(7) = 50.760, p <0.001, explained 6.3% of the variance of composite complicated maternal CD3 and correctly classified 82.9% of cases. Although a complicated CD2, Sub-Saharan African origin and preterm delivery are risk factors for maternal complications in CD3, it is hard to predict which specific women will experience complications. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of a complicated CD2 for detecting complications in CD3 were 21%, 90%, 30% and 85% respectively.
Using species richness calculations to model the global profile of unsampled pathogenic variants: Examples from BRCA1 and BRCA2
Authors: Rao Nandana D. , Shirts Brian H.
Published: February 2023

There have been many surveys of genetic variation inBRCA1andBRCA2to identify variant prevalence and catalogue population specific variants, yet none have evaluated the magnitude of unobserved variation. We applied species richness estimation methods from ecology to estimate “variant richness” and determine how many germline pathogenicBRCA1/2variants have yet to be identified and the frequency of these missing variants in different populations. We also estimated the prevalence of germline pathogenicBRCA1/2variants and identified those expected to be most common. Data was obtained from a literature search including studies conducted globally that tested the entirety ofBRCA1/2for pathogenic variation. Across countries, 45% to 88% of variants were estimated to be missing, i.e., present in the population but not observed in study data. Estimated variant frequencies in each country showed a higher proportion of rare variants compared to recurrent variants. The median prevalence estimate ofBRCA1/2pathogenic variant carriers was 0.64%.BRCA1c.68_69del is likely the most recurrentBRCA1/2variant globally due to its estimated prevalence in India. Modeling variant richness using ecology methods may assist in evaluating clinical targeted assays by providing a picture of what is observed with estimates of what is still unknown.

Elucidation of structure and dynamics of alternative higher-order structures of DNA such as in branched form could be targeted for therapeutics designing. Herein, we are reporting the intrinsically dynamic and folds transitions of an unusual DNA junction with sequence d(CGGCGGCCGC)4 which self-assembles into a four-way DNA junction form with sticky ends using long interval molecular simulations under various artificial physiological conditions. The original crystal structure coordinates (PDB ID: 3Q5C) for the selected DNA junction was considered for a total of 1.1 μs molecular dynamics simulation interval, including different temperature and pH, under OPLS-2005 force field using DESMOND suite. Following, post-dynamics structure parameters for the DNA junction were calculated and analyzed by comparison to the crystal structure. We show here that the self-assembly dynamics of DNA junction is mitigated by the temperature and pH sensitivities, and discloses peculiar structural properties as function of time. From this study it can be concluded on account of temperature sensitive and pH dependent behaviours, DNA junction periodic arrangements can willingly be synthesized and redeveloped for multiple uses like genetic biomarkers, DNA biosensor, DNA nanotechnology, DNA Zipper, etc. Furthermore, the pH dis-regulation behaviour may be used to trigger the functionality of DNA made drug–releasing nanomachines.

A imagem como utopia em heterotopias e noção de intericonicidade frente à escrita do acontecimento
Authors: Pereira de Araújo Alex
Published: February 2023

E
Este trabalho apresenta uma discussão que tem como objetivo principal propor um novo risco ao contorno da noção de intericonicidade que aparece em Courtine, precisamente, em 2003. Aí encontramos uma abertura que nos permite traçar outras curvaturas em sua noção. É justamente por este interstício que vamos propor a inclusão de dois elementos que, a nosso ver, estão na ordem da constituição das imagens: as utopias e heterotopias, conforme discussões iniciadas anteriormente por Araújo (2014a, 2014b). Para tanto, tomamos como pano de fundo as imagens em movimento de duas produções francesas de horror e as imagens fotográficas da prisão de Abou Ghraib que serão analisadas à luz da discussão realizada por Foucault em Le corps utopique, les heterotopies e em Outros Espaços, juntamente com as discussões de Courtine e de Milanez acerca da intericonicidade (cf. COURTINE, 2005; 2011; 2013; MILANEZ, 2011a; 2011b; 2013a, 2013b). Os Elementos de Semiologia e A escrita do acontecimento de Barthes também fazem parte da discussão, já que este autor aparece desde cedo no trabalho de Courtine, precisamente, quando buscava apresentar a noção de intericonicidade.
Da “gripezinha” ao genocídio
Authors: Lessas José de Almeida Tiago , Marques de Lima Maria Paula
Published: February 2023

À luz da Análise do Discurso, este artigo analisa os efeitos de sentido do termo “gripezinha” enquanto índice catalisador do processo parafrástico de formações discursivas (ORLANDI, 1999) no contexto histórico da pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil. A hipótese central se refere ao fato de que o movimento de deslocamento e inversão de sentidos (PÊCHEUX, 1990) tenha na sua base as lutas de classes como motor central. Com estratégia de política de austeridade neoliberal, o governo de Jair M. Bolsonaro minimiza os efeitos do novo coronavírus por fazer uso do termo “gripezinha”. No entanto, notamos inversões na dinâmica representacional da pandemia à medida que a política praticada pelo presidente provoca lastros de mortes e ataques à classe trabalhadora. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para uma reflexão crítica que compreende que o discurso se constitui numa trama de formações imaginárias costuradas nas torções dinâmicas de sentido das Formações Discursivas (PÊCHEUX, 2014).
Estratégias discursivas utilizadas em títulos de notícias para orientar o olhar de leitores
Authors: De Abreu-Silva Geraldo Emanuel
Published: February 2023

O amplo acesso a canais de informação faz com que as pessoas sejam bombardeadas, diariamente, por informações vindas de diversas fontes, sejam jornais impressos, digitais, redes sociais ou pela “boca a boca”. Tornou-se frequente, apenas a partir da leitura de títulos das notícias, que pessoas repassem informações para outras pessoas sem elaborar uma leitura completa do texto informativo ou verificar as fontes. Em vista disso, os enunciadores utilizam estratégias discursivas para manipular a leitura do público a partir da elaboração de títulos atrativos que, a rigor, deveriam ser imparciais e, no entanto, não o são devido à dimensão argumentativa que perpassa qualquer interação que envolva a linguagem. Desta forma, este trabalho visa a analisar como as estratégias de enquadramento pela tematização e designação exploram as memórias de curto e longo prazo dos indivíduos para orientar sua leitura em direção a determinado viés. Após revisão bibliográfica, a análise de três títulos sobre o mesmo tema, a imigração de venezuelanos para o Brasil, foi proposta de modo a permitir que as teorias sejam aplicadas na prática. Através dessa análise, pôde-se observar que, de fato, os enunciadores utilizam estratégias para manipular a leitura de seu público e fazê-lo afiliar-se a determinada ideologia, o que ficou evidenciado por índices discursivos encontrados nos títulos analisados.
A construção do ethos discursivo de Bolsonaro no Twitter sob amparo do discurso constituinte religioso
Authors: Soares de Melo José Arthur
Published: February 2023

Guiados pela semântica global, terceira hipótese de Maingueneau (2008b) em sua tese, buscamos neste trabalho refletir sobre a construção do ethos discursivo de Jair Bolsonaro, que recorre ao discurso constituinte religioso (MAINGUENEAU, 2021; 2008a; 2000) para a formulação de seus discursos no Twitter. Para isso, teórico-metodologicamente, recorremos à análise do discurso de linha francesa através dos estudos de Maingueneau (2021; 2020; 2018; 2008a; 2008b). Delimitamos como corpus três publicações retiradas do Twitter do político, com o objetivo de discutir como a semântica global apoia a leitura e a interpretação dos discursos partilhados por Bolsonaro em seu Twitter e qual a importância do discurso constituinte religioso para a construção e a manutenção do seu ethos discursivo. Constatamos que o enunciador se vale do discurso religioso e do seu caráter constituinte para creditar os seus dizeres e defender suas alegações na rede. Ele ainda explora a vagueza e contextualiza alguns fragmentos bíblicos para evitar contestações, uma vez que o domínio religioso, diferentemente de outras esferas, não se encontra aberto a contra-argumentos e contestações.
Lineamientos de ocupación sustentable del suelo urbano

Published: February 2023

El dominante consumo de energía de origen no renovable asociado al crecimiento de las urbes, afecta de manera directa a los recursos ambientales de todo el mundo. En este marco, políticas energéticas de numerosos países promueven la generación distribuida de energía solar fotovoltaica. No obstante, para su despliegue territorial es necesario, entre otros, disponer de lineamientos proyectuales de ocupación del suelo urbano sustentados en la integración de dichas tecnologías en el hábitat construido. En correspondencia, el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo su diseño, para lo cual selecciona un caso de estudio y define un proyecto conforme a las posibilidades urbano-arquitectónicas. Se concluye que la propuesta representa un aporte a la conformación urbana espacial y arquitectónica sustentable.
Verg. Ecl. 9. 44-55: cantores, canciones, ficción de oralidad
Authors: Álvarez Hernández Arturo R.
Published: February 2023

Respecto del pasaje en cuestión (Verg. Ecl. 9. 44-55), la tradición manuscrita no se muestra uniforme: la mayor parte de los MSS asignan los vv. 46-50 a Meris; algunos pocos (M y γ) los asignan a Lícidas. El artículo aporta fundamentación en favor de la atribución de esos versos a Lícidas; repasa diversas soluciones adoptadas en ediciones y comentarios recientes, incluyendo la última edición crítica (Ottaviano, 2013), en la que se adopta (equivocadamente, a nuestro criterio) la enmienda nisi en el v. 45. A continuación, las cuatro evocaciones de canto realizadas por Lícidas y Meris son analizadas en el marco de dos oportunos señalamientos de Schmidt (1972): a. el particular concepto de ‘autoría’ que rige en la ficción de oralidad propia de la poesía bucólica; b. la relación que se establece en la égloga entre el contenido de esas evocaciones y las categorías de poeta y uates declaradas en los vv. 32-36.

Tres de esos autores (Aguirre, García Helder, Taborda) pertenecen al primer grupo asociado a esa corriente y orillan los sesenta años. Los otros dos publicaron sus libros después de 2010 y no llegan a los cuarenta. Esa permanencia inter–generacional habilita una reflexión sobre algunas preocupaciones literarias, la utilidad de un canon negativo y los distintos textos surgidos de esas premisas. Para comenzar podríamos decir que la atención dirigida a la imagen, las cosas y las circunstancias capta una realidad en movimiento, capaz de proponer nuevas estrategias al nivel de la organización de la frase, el verso y el discurso literario en general.
Imaginarios contemporáneos de fin–de–mundo y las relaciones entre lo vivo en De gados e Homens (Maia, Brasil) y Distancia de rescate (Schweblin, Argentina)
Authors: Peez Klein Daniela
Published: February 2023

Este artículo explora la zona común entre dos novelas del siglo XXI: Distancia de Rescate (S. Schweblin, 2014) y De gados e homens (A. P. Maia, 2013). El objetivo es explorar cómo estas ficciones construyen su fin–de–mundo y de qué forma retratan lo viviente y las relaciones entre habitantes y mundo en tiempos de un Capitaloceno exasperado. Para analizar esta literatura reciente, se emplea un abordaje transdisciplinario con herramientas de análisis como la planetariedad, el agenciamiento no exclusivamente humano que representan las cosmogonías amerindias y el fantasy como modo de la ficción.
Leer canciones de murga para tener memoria
Authors: Brusa Orozco Lucía
Published: February 2023

En el presente artículo compartiremos parte de la investigación realizada para el Trabajo Final Integrador en el marco de la Especialización en Escritura y Alfabetización de la FaHCE-UNLP. Nos  propusimos investigar la enseñanza del contenido pasado reciente a través de las prácticas de lectura en primer grado. La misma es de carácter cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio. Diseñamos una secuencia didáctica para promover lectores autónomos sobre el pasado reciente y analizamos las  situaciones e intervenciones docentes que promueven la lectura para aprender. Haremos foco en las  situaciones de lectura a través del maestro, en los intercambios lectores a propósito de canciones de  murga con referencia al pasado reciente y en la construcción de memoria, que dan indicios y  otorgan evidencias de la potencialidad de las lecturas compartidas para aprender un contenido  específico.
De la peste negra al COVID 19. Enseñar Historia en tiempos de pandemia y pospandemia
Authors: Gómez Melisa Paola
Published: February 2023

Este artículo parte de mis observaciones como profesora de Historia en escuelas secundarias de la periferia rosarina, y busca reflexionar acerca de las modificaciones que necesita la enseñanza de esta disciplina en el contexto pospandémico. Si bien la escuela secundaria tradicional hace ya tiempo que está en discusión, especialmente en lo que refiere a la enseñanza de la Historia, con sus dificultades particulares, la pandemia de Covid-19 puso aún más de relieve sus debilidades. Estrategias como la búsqueda de “contenidos prioritarios” y la aplicación de las TICs se revelaron insuficientes. Recuperada la presencialidad, el agotamiento del sistema es mucho más manifiesto, especialmente en  la periferia rosarina, donde los estudiantes sufren carencias materiales y los vínculos que los sostienen en ocasiones son endebles. En este contexto se les dificulta adquirir competencias como la comprensión de texto y la expresión oral y escrita, tan necesarias en el estudio de la Historia.
Enseñar Historia en burbujas: el desafío de la bimodalidad. Relato de experiencias para la incorporación de capacidades en relación con el espacio y el tiempo
Authors: Falconer Evelyn Marianel
Published: February 2023

La pandemia declarada por la OMS el 10 de marzo de 2020 a razón del Covid-19 desató una serie de cambios muy profundos y la escuela no quedó exenta de ello. Entró al hogar de todas y todos las y los actores escolares (desde roles de gestión hasta familias, pasando claramente por estudiantes y docentes). La transición hacia una nueva normalidad al iniciar el ciclo 2021 se caracterizó por debates acalorados, incertidumbres y miedos; pero se resolvió comenzar y sostener la escolaridad de las y los estudiantes a través de la bimodalidad, dividiendo al estudiantado en dos o tres agrupamientos -dependiendo la cantidad de personas- y el espacio físico del aula. Mientras un agrupamiento asistía presencialmente, el otro se escolarizaba desde la virtualidad. A partir de esta narrativa de experiencia busco visualizar y poner en debate una serie de estrategias aplicadas en este contexto de enseñanza híbrida para la adquisición de diversas capacidades, por parte de las y los estudiantes, propias de la Ciencia Histórica como son: comprensión del cambio en el espacio geográfico (paisaje, medio geográfico y territorio), comprensión del tiempo histórico (duración, cambio y continuidad, sincronía y diacronía) y la empatía histórica.

Culturas políticas, umbral de laicización y educación en Santa Fe durante el período de entreguerras
Authors: Carrizo Bernardo , Giménez Juan Cruz
Published: February 2023

El artículo aborda dos experiencias reformistas que se plasmaron en la provincia de Santa Fe durante el período de entreguerras. Tanto la constitución (1921) sancionada por una convención que se realizó durante el período radical como la Ley de Educación (1934) que promulgó el gobierno demoprogresista, impulsaron un nuevo embate de laicidad en una provincia cuya legislación establecía la educación religiosa. Indagaremos las apuestas a un horizonte liberal que, si bien tuvieron fugaz vigencia, expusieron los componentes flexibles de un umbral de laicización. El estudio permite colocar en relevancia las culturas políticas que dirimen el sentido de proyectos y acciones de los actores en diversos escenarios políticos. A su vez, aquellas apuestas políticas colocan en discusión la frontera que algunas interpretaciones erigen alrededor del año 1930. El análisis de diarios de sesiones, prensa y publicaciones educativas expone una red que articula diversos protagonistas en torno de estos temas.
Juan Carlos Agulla: el nacimiento de la sociología empírica en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (1959-1966)
Authors: Vila Esteban Ezequiel
Published: February 2023

Este trabajo estudia la trayectoria de Juan Carlos Agulla, reconstruyendo sus espacios de socialización intelectual y su producción sociológica hasta 1966. En ese recorrido se aprecia una fuerte impronta teórica de la sociología weberiana, producto de su formación en Alemania, al mismo tiempo que el influjo de otras tradiciones como el funcionalismo de Talcott Parsons y Robert Merton. A su vez, la estancia de estudios en FLACSO (Chile), donde entabló vínculos con José Medina Echavarría, fue un momento importante de adquisición de conocimientos sobre las modernas metodologías sociológicas que le posibilitaron, junto a Eva Chamorro y Delbert C. Miller, realizar una pionera investigación sobre la estructura del poder de su ciudad natal, fundando así la sociología empírica en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.

Results: The research design limited the results to the literature consulted, suggesting the extension of the work based on the information published in Copernicus, Ebsco, Scopus and WoS. Conclusions: The research design limited the findings to the research scenario, suggesting the inclusion of the State as a funding and facilitator of safe abortion.
Bacteriemia por Streptococcus pyogenes: presentación de un caso
Authors: Muchiut A.C. , Mendoza D.J. , Petroli F.
Published: February 2023

El Streptococcus pyogenes es el principal patógeno bacteriano aislado en las faringitis agudas, ocasionalmente es el agente causal de neumonía y bacteriemia generalmente asociado a infecciones virales (influenza, sarampión). Ingresa a la sala de pediatría una niña de 5 de años con dificultad respiratoria. Por medio de placa radiográfica se constata neumonía, entra en asistencia mecánica respiratoria y se comienza tratamiento antibiótico. A las dos horas presenta cuadro de shock séptico, coagulopatía generalizada y fallo multiorgánico con su consiguiente fallecimiento. Se le toman hemocultivos, líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) y aspirado nasofaríngeo post morten y se envían al laboratorio. Los hemocultivos se positivizan y dan en la coloración de Gram cocos Grampositivos y las pruebas bioquímicas: Pyr (+), Bc (+), pruebas serológicas orientan hacia Streptococcus beta hemolítico grupo A. El LCR fue negativo. El aspirado nasofaríngeo arrojo como resultado Influenza B. El Streptococcus pyogenes puede producir cuadros muy severos complicando y culminando con un shock séptico causado por la toxina del microorganismo cuyo curso es fulminante.
Asociación de Pantoea agglomerans y traumas penetrantes. Presentación de dos casos clínicos en pediatría
Authors: Rico M. , Ernst A. , Martinich C. , Larini S. , Anchart E. , Arciero G. , Díaz M.S.
Published: February 2023

Los traumas penetrantes en niños son habituales pero no siempre evolucionan a entidades como artritis séptica o infecciones en piel y partes blandas. Pantoea agglomerans es un bacilo gram negativo que pertenece a la familia Enterobacteriaceae y se comporta como un patógeno oportunista en pacientes inmunodeprimidos. Sin embargo existen reportes en la literatura que asocian este microorganismo a infecciones por traumatismos con espinas de plantas y astillas en pacientes inmunocompetentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar dos casos clínicos para agregar evidencia a la asociación de Pantoea agglomerans con las infecciones en piel y partes blandas y artritis séptica por traumas accidentales penetrantes con plantas en pediatría. Las cepas fueron identificadas utilizando el sistema MALDI-TOF MS. Las susceptibilidades antibióticas fueron evaluadas con el sistema VITEK 2C. Concluimos que la comunicación equipo médico-laboratorio es de suma importancia para orientar la búsqueda bacteriológica y jerarquizar los aislamientos.
Transmisión y subjetividades alteradas. Notas acerca del dispositivo escolar en tiempos de dispersión y repliegues narcisistas
Authors: Collet Vanesa
Published: February 2023

La preocupación por librarnos de modelos autoritarios y opresores nos ha llevado al borde de extinguir la posibilidad misma de la transmisión, la palabra, la escucha y la atención. La inscripción en la cultura, a través de la introducción de las limitaciones necesarias para abrirnos al mundo y protegernos de la pulsión de muerte, comienza a desmoronarse ante el mandato de las sendas cortas y el abandono de todo aquello que se nos resiste. La búsqueda del goce inmediato y sin restricciones simbólicas, socaba la posibilidad de sostener procesos de sublimación, poniendo en cuestión el dispositivo de escolarización y las maneras creadas para transmitir una relación con la cultura. Los imperativos mercantilistas de flexibilidad, hiperactividad y rendimiento se articulan con el cuestionamiento generalizado a la Ley de la castración e impulsan repliegues narcisistas que impactan en las relaciones intergeneracionales, conduciendo hacia la búsqueda de relaciones más horizontales entre padres e hijos. La escuela queda como una de las pocas instituciones capaz de salvaguardar lo humano, protegiendo la asimetría en el vínculo intergeneracional y la relación con la cultura. El asunto es vislumbrar algunas maneras que pongan a resguardo los procesos formativos, estableciendo una relación vital con los saberes, el pasado y aquello necesario para que el mundo no se deshaga.
