IoT based Automated Room
Authors: Jaiswal Shruti
Published: July 2021

The smart home is an environment in which heterogeneous electronic devices and appliances are networked together to give smart services to individuals in a ubiquitous manner. Because of the numerous benefits, organizations and individuals are widely accepting and using the capabilities provided by smart home applications. Our purpose is to turn a standard room into a "smart room." The combination of IoT and AI platforms is utilized to offer the infrastructure required to integrate disparate devices and services across networks. Multiple sensors, processing, and actuation components have been designed and deployed in this project. Assume that the state of the room is continuously monitored, and decisions are made to regulate the room lights, cooling, heating, and projector operation manually, remotely, or even automatically. For example, when a person enters the designated room, the lights and projector immediately switch on. Environmental measures (temperature, humidity, and ambient light), energy consumption measurements, and estimates of the number of individuals present are collected during the conference session. The comfort levels of room occupants are maintained by automatic rule-based decision making. We employ a comprehensive analysis completed by real-life Smart Room users to evaluate our methodology. The same procedures will be followed in other areas. Furthermore, by utilizing the same set of sensors, the same can be used for home automation.

A Review of Study on Green Concrete
Authors: Kumar Naveen
Published: July 2021

Concrete and cement may have a significant task to carry out to satisfy its commitment, concurred at the gathering, to diminish the absolute CO2 outflow by 21 %. This is on the grounds that around 2 % of all out CO2 emanation comes from concrete and substantial creation. There is extensive information about how to deliver concrete with a diminished natural effect. Be that as it may, it's anything but known to an adequate degree, and with what innovation, this "green" cement can be applied by and by in structures and constructions. For example, there isn't sufficient data about how the properties of green concrete, like compressive strength, solidness, fire execution, projecting and execution, solidifying, and relieving are influenced by the actions to diminish the natural effect of cement. This paper gives an outline of the current situation of substantial sorts that have decreased natural effect, including the utilization of low energy cement, reusing of squashed concrete as total, the utilization of fly debris and miniature silica, and so on There is a depiction of in addition to other things the potential outcomes of utilizing "green" concrete inside the current principles and determinations, research projects about green cement, life cycle appraisals, and so on The likely ecological advantage to society of having the option to work with "green" concrete is tremendous.
Nonclassical trajectories in head-on collisions
Authors: Kumar A. , Krisnanda T. , Arumugam P. , Paterek T.
Published: July 2021

Rutherford scattering is usually described by treating the projectile either classically or as quantum mechanical plane waves. Here we treat them as wave packets and study their head-on collisions with the stationary target nuclei. We simulate the quantum dynamics of this one-dimensional system and study deviations of the average quantum solution from the classical one. These deviations are traced back to the convexity properties of Coulomb potential. Finally, we sketch how these theoretical findings could be tested in experiments looking for the onset of nuclear reactions.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEO-ECONOMICS: A PATH TOWARDS AN INSTITUTIONAL LIBERALISM APPROACH
Authors: Vega Ricardo
Published: July 2021

Geo-economics mostly fall into the realist paradigm of International Relations since it is understood as the use of economic means under strategic military logic as principal instruments of statecraft. However, geo-economics is neither caused by states alone nor driven by multipolar rivalry solely. Instead, geo-economics requires a framework of study which considers that there are countless links of interdependence in the global economy that must be taken into consideration to explain state behaviour. Institutional liberalism provides geo-economics theoretical grounds to maintain cooperation and responsibility as central components of geo-economics.
OS TRINTA ANOS DO MERCOSUL: APONTAMENTOS PARA UM BALANÇO
Authors: Granato Leonardo
Published: July 2021

Over its thirty-year existence, Mercosur has experienced several changes, which refer to the models of open regionalism and multidimensional regionalism. Based on this argument, we seek to present, in this work, some interpretative notes, in a historical and institutional perspective, in order to provide subsidies for a balance of the bloc, in its three decades of operation. Focusing on the internal institutional dynamics of Mercosul and using bibliographic and documentary research, this paper discusses the integration models adopted and the main measures associated with the respective models along the bloc’s trajectory. Its conclusion points out to the current trend of resuming open regionalism in the midst of Mercosur´s precarious condition.

In 2021, the covid-19 pandemic continues to dominate the international scene, but that does not mean that the political cleavages and tensions lost their space. In this edition, relevant themes are analyzed, such as the reasons for the recent clashes that affect national stability in Angola, a promising African state. Next, two articles address the issue of the Russian opponent Navalny and the situation in eastern Ukraine, showing little-known dimensions about these two themes. As for the set of problems that concern the containment of China by the United States and the United Kingdom, the subject that was selected was that of the demonstrations in Hong Kong in 2019 and 2020, which brings an original and thought-provoking analysis. Vaccine diplomacy also emerged as a new topic, with political-strategic and economic dimensions that go beyond the global health crisis, and was objectively assessed here. Another event that surprised many analysts was the military coup in Myanmar, which has both an internal and an external dimension and is addressed here from a critical perspective. Then, an overview of the first 100 days of the Biden administration in the diplomatic and security fields is offered, confirming the predictions expressed in the previous edition that the foreign policy changes would rely on form, and not so much on content. Finally, the return of leftist candidates to power in Latin America is analyzed, exploring the fluidity and uncertainty of the regional political framework. The analysis of the conjuncture, more than just explaining specific events, can contribute to the understanding of ongoing processes and the structure that is taking shape. In this sense, the covid-19 pandemic, regardless of its origin (will we ever know for sure?), has been addressed, as it appears, in an ineffectual way even by prosperous and organized countries. Thus, a strategic reflection shows that the health crisis may be serving as a cover for another one, which was already manifesting itself in previous years: the economic slowdown. All social difficulties would now be presented as a result of the pandemic, as well as the political morass within the states of the system, and conflicts between them would be justified or camouflaged. So, here is a question for reflection: is the ongoing situation being used, to a large extent, as an opportune instrument for managing the economic crisis and the technological and geopolitical dispute currently underway?
The jet stream and climate change
Authors: Schouw Wesley , Pauli Prof. Gunter
Published: July 2021

This article introduces factors contributing significantly to climate
change that have been largely neglected in both the scientific and
popular press. These factors have immediate implications for public
policy directed at slowing, halting and even reversing climate change
and its effects. This article argues that in addition to the known
contributions made by greenhouse gasses, climate change is also driven
by shifts in the patterns of global atmospheric circulation which are
influenced by persistent, large-scale vortices caused by the wake
turbulence left by commercial air traffic. Because this traffic is
highly concentrated along the most frequently traveled routes, the
vortices aircraft create have transformed into semi-permanent
atmospheric circulation which have widespread effects on how the
atmosphere traps and releases heat. It is also possible that these
changes alter the loss of water from the atmosphere. This would endanger
all life on earth, not just the human population.
Pathogen emergence in changing ecosystems: RAD-seq reveals long evolutionary history of Phellinus noxius in east Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands

Published: July 2021

Emerging pathogens have been increasing exponentially over the last
century. The knowledge on whether these organisms are native to
ecosystems or have been recently introduced is often of great
importance. Understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes
promoting emergence can help to control their spread and forecast
epidemics. Using restriction site-associated DNA sequencing data, we
studied genetic relationships, pathways of spread, and evolutionary
history of Phellinus noxius, an emerging root-rotting fungus of
unknown origin, in eastern Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. We
analyzed patterns of genetic variation using Bayesian inference, maximum
likelihood phylogeny, populations splits and mixtures measuring
correlations in allele frequencies and genetic drift, and finally
applied coalescent based theory using approximate Bayesian computation
(ABC) with supervised machine learning. Population structure analyses
revealed five genetic groups with signatures of complex recent and
ancient migration histories. The most probable scenario of ancient
pathogen spread is movement from west to east: from Malaysia to the
Pacific Islands, with subsequent spread to Taiwan and Australia.
Furthermore, ABC analyses indicate that P. noxius spread occurred
thousands of generations ago, contradicting previous assumptions that it
was recently introduced in multiple areas. Our results suggest that
recent emergence of P. noxius in east Asia, Australia, and the
Pacific Islands is likely driven by anthropogenic and natural
disturbances, including deforestation, land-use change, severe weather
events, and introduction of exotic plants. This study provides a novel
example of utilization of genome wide allele frequency data to unravel
dynamics of pathogen emergence under conditions of changing ecosystems.

Published: July 2021

Introduction Since 2019,the COVID-19（a1） epidemic has rapidly spread
across China,and the global spread trendappeared,which not only
endangered people’s health, but also had a huge impact on the social
economy.Infective endocarditis (IE(a2)) is aninflammation of the inner
wall of the cardiac valves or ventricle caused by direct infection of
bacteria,fungi and other pathogenic microorganisms. It is related to
several and the main etiological agents are the Gram-positive cocci. At
present,there is limited evidence in the literature for both conditions.
Case presentation Here，we report a case of Infective endocarditis
concomitant with COVID-19. A blood culture results and toe secretions
culture indicated MRSA（a3） strain infection.Because it has no special
past history,we consider that is communityassociated (CA-MRSA )strain.
TTE（a4） did not identify endocardial vegetations. TEE（a5） was then
performed and outlined IE of anterior mitral valve leaflet. CT scan of
the patient revealed multiple diffuse abscesses. We tried high-flow
nasal cannula(HFNC（a6）) for COVID-19,and we used a combined
anti-infection approach(daptomycin, Fosfomycin, linezolid). Conclusion
With aggressive anti-infective therapy,our case has achieved a good
treatment outcome.

Juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG) is a severe type of glaucoma with
childhood onset and dominant inheritance. Using exome sequencing we
identified 3 independent families from the Philippines with rare EFEMP1
variants (c.238A>T, p.Asn80Tyr; c.1480T>C
p.Ter494Glnext*29; and c.1429C>T, p.Arg477Cysteine )
co-segregating with disease. Affected variant carriers (N= 34) exhibited
severe disease with average age of onset of 16 years and with 76%
developing blindness. To investigate functional effects, we transfected
COS7 cells with vectors expressing the three novel EFEMP1 variants and
showed that all three variants found in JOAG patients caused significant
intracellular protein aggregation and retention compared to wild type
and also compared to EFEMP1 variants associated with other ocular
phenotypes including an early-onset form of macular degeneration,
Malattia Leventinese/Doyne’s Honeycomb retinal dystrophy. These results
suggest that rare EFEMP1 coding variants can cause JOAG through a
mechanism involving protein aggregation and retention, and that the
extent of intracellular retention correlates with disease phenotype.
This is the first report of EFEMP1 variants causing JOAG, expanding the
EFEMP1 disease spectrum. Our results suggest that EFEMP1 mutations
appear to be a relatively common cause of JOAG in Filipino families, an
ethnically diverse population.

Published: July 2021

Este trabajo se realizó en la Universidad de los Llanos ubicada en el Km 12 vía Puerto López en la Vereda Barcelona, Departamento Meta, Colombia. Se evaluó la calidad nutricional de ensilajes de cuatro especies forrajeras preparados con las siguientes especies: veranera (Cratylia argéntea), Cayeno (Hibiscus-rosa-sinensis) nacedero (Trychanthera gigantea) y Botón de oro (Titonia diversifolia). Las especies se sembraron en parcelas, y después se realizó una poda y 60 días después se cosecharon sus hojas las cuales fueron conservadas en microsilos de 5 kilogramos, dejando cuatro periodos de maduración (0, 30, 60, 90 días). Los ensilajes fueron analizados en el Laboratorio de Nutrición Animal: materia seca (MS), cenizas, grasa, proteína, fibra cruda (FC), fibra detergente neutro (FDN), fibra detergente ácido (FDA), nitrógeno adherido a FDN (NFDN), celulosa, y lignina. La especie que más materia seca produjo fue la veranera 32.6% seguida de botón de oro (30%), cayeno (28,5%) nacedero (25%). Aunque se observó un aumento de la MS a medida que aumentaba el tiempo de maduración del ensilaje (0, 30, 60 y 90). También se mostraron incrementos a medida que el forraje maduraba la FDN, FDA y la lignina en estas cuatro especies forrajeras. El porcentaje de proteína en las cuatro especies decreció con mayor tiempo de maduración del ensilaje de estas forrajeras, esta reducción fue mayor en la veranera (8.2%) en comparación con las demás: cayeno (6%), cajeto (6%) y botón de oro (4%).
IUCN Green Status of Species
Authors:   IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature
Published: July 2021

The decline of many species towards extinction has largely focused conservation efforts on ensuring that species remain extant. However, conservationists have long recognised the need to complement this by aiming to recover depleted populations throughout a species’ range and to restore species to ecosystems from which they have been extirpated. The main objectives of the IUCN Green Status of Species are: to provide a standardised framework for measuring species recovery; to recognise conservation achievements; to highlight species whose current conservation status is dependent on continued conservation actions; to forecast the expected conservation impact of planned conservation action; and to elevate levels of ambition for long-term species recovery. These objectives together encourage conservation towards species recovery, throughout a species’ range.

Published: July 2021

The essence of the concept of imperativism is revealed through a triad of interpretations: as the results of the formalization of norms and rules; as scientific statements and research conditions; as beliefs and principles of socio-economic behavior. The approaches to research and description of imperatives have been established and formalized.  The article provides an interpretation in the context of the creative economy concept and its formation in terms of intellectual and innovative determinants. The formation of the imperatives system of creative economy is proposed to be formalized in three stages - the first imperatives take the form of recommendations, the second integrates for the commercialization of ideas, the third stage takes the form of norms and standards to ensure profitability, sustainability and competitiveness of the regional economy.
PROBLEMS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER EQUALITY (COMPARATIVE LEGAL ASPECT)
Authors: Mendzhul Maria
Published: July 2021

The purpose of the study is to identify the problems in the implementation of the principle of gender equality in Ukraine and European states.

This goal was achieved through the application of a system of methods, including comparative method, formal law method and statistical method.

The study has identified that the principle of gender equality prohibits discriminatory treatment on the basis of gender in different spheres of social relations. However, there is no single approach to understanding the concept of gender equality, which is described as: equality between the rights of men and women; fair treatment of men and women; equal access to resources and their fair distribution between men and women.

It is substantiated that the principle of gender equality is a sub-principle of the principle of equality and means guaranteeing equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender.

The principle of gender equality is examined in international law, including the provisions of the Council of Europe's Gender Equality Strategy for 2018-2023 and their implementation in Ukraine. The European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) practice of interpreting the content of the principle of gender equality and its scope is analyzed. The ECtHR has established that gender-based violence is the form of discrimination against women.

The Court of Justice of the European Union has established the elimination of discrimination on grounds of sex as a general principle of EU law which should be guaranteed by a court.

Family policy models in different states have been studied through the prism of gender equality, in particular: the pronatalist model (formed in France); the traditional model (historically originated in Germany); a pro-egalitarian model (Sweden is a typical representative); family model (mainly applied in the UK, the US and Canada). It is justified that nowadays, mixed models of family policy prevail, which combine traditional models in different proportions. In Ukraine, there is a similarly mixed model of family policy model that can be characterised as more pro-natalist model.

The study concludes that real gender equality can be achieved in the case of an effective gender-based public policy, which should: stimulate gender expertise; introduce quotas for representation of women in all areas of employment, except those that may harm their health; ensure that gender components are taken into account in all economic and social development programs; introduce a gender component through the educational process in the secondary, vocational and higher education system; ensure gender mainstreaming in teacher training programs and public officials; promote the elimination of gender stereotypes and counteract discrimination; contribute to reducing the remuneration gap; to promote the activities of public associations in the field of gender equality and combating domestic violence, etc.
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS FUNCTIONS
Authors: Bielov Dmytro , Hromovchuk Myroslava
Published: July 2021

Purpose. The scientific publication is devoted to highlighting the peculiarities of the legal nature of the constitution. The authors consider the structure and content of the constitution of the state in the context of its functions. The specificity of the content of the newest constitutions in the history of world constitutionalism is considered.

Methods. The methodological basis of the work is a post-positivist methodology for the study of the problems of the paradigm of contemporary Ukrainian constitutionalism, which is an orderly system of mutually agreed ideological principles and methods that allow to thoroughly and comprehensively investigate the legal properties of the paradigm of constitutionalism and to determine the essence and content of its legal relations.

Results and Conclusions. Consequently, the main and still unresolved issue is the ambiguity of what is proposed to adopt: a new Constitution, a new version of the current Constitution, amendments and additions to the current Constitution. Although paradoxical, but in Presidential speeches, these terms are used repeatedly as synonyms. However, legally they are completely different concepts. This terminological confusion carries a great danger of loss of landmarks and prevents a clear statement of the problem in a purely legal area.

Thus, we believe that the constitutional process is too politicized today. In our opinion, the acutest political struggle is underway for adopting a form of constitution that is convenient for one of the parties. But in fact – for power – everyone wants a maximum of power. Including through their Constitution enforced in some way. However, the Basic Law should be adopted not from the conjuncture considerations of political expediency, but be a complete legal document, taking into account the achievements of the world jurisprudence, with the strict observance of all the prescribed legal procedures. After all, the constitution should be the main document of the state, at least for a decade.
An Analytical Study of the Folk Musical Instruments of Meghalaya
Authors: Sarkar Joyanta , Rai Anil
Published: July 2021

"Meghalaya is a richly inhabited Indian state. Drums, flutes of bamboo and hand-held small cymbals are a common ensemble. The advent of Christianity in the middle of the 20th century marked the start of a decline in tribal popular music. Over time, Meghalaya’s music scene has evolved, attracting many talented artists and bands from both traditional and not-so traditional genres. Any of the most recent Meghalaya musicians and bands is: The Plague Throat, Kerios Wahlang, Cryptographik Street Poets, etc., Soulmate, Lou Majaw, and Snow White. Meghalaya’s music is characterised by traditional instruments and folk songs. The Musical Instruments of Meghalaya are made from local materials. Meghalayan people honour powerful natural forces and aim to pacify animistic spirits and local gods. The instruments are made of bamboo, flesh, wood, and animal horn. Any one of these musical instruments is considered to have the ability to offer material benefits. The Meghalaya musical instrument is an essential part of traditional folk music in the region. In this article, we offer an overview of the folk musical instruments of Meghalaya.

Cognition of Musical Instruments as an Integral Part of Music Teachers Competencies
Authors: Urniežius Rytis
Published: July 2021

"This article aims to reason the importance of the knowledge about musical instruments by future music educators. The cognition of musical instruments include competencies necessary for the handling of the instruments by instrument teachers, ensemble leaders, teachers-arrangers and teachers-composers. Another important field of knowledge is the characteristics of instruments and their artistic possibilities that teacher has to explain for pupils in their classes while listening to the music and discussing it. Considering these activities as an essential element of music educators’ work, the ability to distinguish the timbres of the most common professional instruments by ear should be treated as one of the fundamental abilities of pedagogues.

The Tools of Musicology (A Tale in 12 Polemic Hypotheses)
Authors: Garaz Oleg
Published: July 2021

"Though undeclared, the issue dealt with in this text is accessibility. Arranging the words into sentences and building a coherent discourse requires a mandatory clarity of the purposes and, implicitly, of the methods that enable the transmission and acquisition of information. Thus, the most effective genre of the discourse is the tale, also joined by the non-invasive quality of hypothesis: a tale in several hypotheses. At the heart of this tale is musicology, the most non-musical way to approach music, but also the most powerful epistemological tool to know its meanings, structures and images. The non-musicality of this scientific discipline lies in its notionality, standing in a radical opposition to the intuitiveness of composition as an art. But by positioning the art of performance between the two seemingly “irreconcilable” poles, it becomes clear that all three practices are in reality three inseparable functions of a whole that is musical thinking. And musicology acquires the chance to overcome the “stigma” of literariness through the “synesthetic” relationship with myth and poetry.

Authors: Frățilă Lioara
Published: July 2021

"The aura of the composer Frédéric Chopin penetrated the Western European musical culture, touching massively other cultures as well, up to the Chinese one; the certainty through which we recognize the thrill of this aura is mostly due to the fact that ”Chopin’s compositions have opened a new era in the piano’s history”. Being present in the Parisian salon with Rossini and Liszt, the great Pole achieved an organic interweaving between the tradition of Austro-German and French music. The analysis of the sonata No. 1 in C-minor op. 4 builds the core of the present study and relevantly denotes the connection of its architecture together with the set of conventions belonging to the format of the sonata-genre coming from Beethoven. As we know, the Sonata-pattern designed by Beethoven was expanded throughout the Romantic period as well as the conditions under which the aesthetics of Romanticism found a specific corridor reaching its maximum of expression. In a way of an idiomatic, natural model of transmission, the Chopin’s style of conceiving music played its predominant role. Taking into account in this approach theories belonging to the aesthetics field and some theoretical applications with significance for understanding the levers of construction concerning this sonata, op. 4 (composed when the composer was only eighteen (1828)) and Chopin’s approach of the other stages of emancipation within the genre, I will highlight its rules which emphasize implicitly the dialogue with the ”Sonata-Fantasy” genre, as this construct appears (for instance) in sonata op. 58.

«Kaddisch» par Ravel dans les miroirs hermeneutiques. Un miroir sonore infini de l’hebraïque «alas»
Authors: Bischin Maria Roxana
Published: July 2021

"We are proposing to situate Maurice Ravel in a refined poetic aesthetic. Our desire is to offer an original philosophical and musicological perspective on Kaddisch, because, personally, this composition determines us to reflect on what is “beyond” Being. We note that there is a particular Hebraic stylistic continuity at the time, and in this sense we also remember Joseph Achron, on the distinguished Hebrew Melody, op. 33. More than that, Yehudi Menuhin devoted himself playing both the composition of Achron and this special composition by Maurice Ravel on the violin. Maurice Ravel composed a part for the liturgical ceremony entitled Kaddish, and critics claim that he did not introduce this song as a novelty, because the composition already existed in the Hebrew tradition. However, behind that, we try to defend Ravel by observing what are the aesthetic-compositional novelties introduced in this beautiful song. Being a mystical song of a man who mourns death but, at the same time, weeps on infinite love, Kaddisch still let us to find various interpretations, whether it is a liturgical text or sheet music. Advancing with the observations along this paper, in the final part of the paper, we made a comparison between Maurice Ravel and Leonard Bernstein’s perspective on Kaddisch. Keywords: “Kaddisch (Kaddish)”; Maurice Ravel; Leonard Bernstein; Alexander Veprik; Yehudi Menuhin; violin’s aesthetic; metaphysical sadness; sacredness; mournfulness; mourning; the Hebrew-ʻalasʼ; the Portuguese ʻalémʼ.

Minuet - The Reminiscence of the Individual Dance Form in Maurice Ravel’s Piano Works
Authors: Oláh Boglárka Eszter
Published: July 2021

"The minuet is one of the most representative dance forms of the Baroque era. Thanks to its popularity, it becomes part of stage works like operas and ballets, instrumental suites, later (in the Classical and Romantic era) movements of symphonies, sonatas, string quartets, and trios. Ravel had a special interest in old dance forms. Among his musical works there are several dance-movements like Pavane, Rigaudon, Forlane, or Menuet. The use of these in individual works is limited, having only three minuets written for piano solo: the Menuet antique (1895), the Menuet in C sharp minor (1904), and the Menuet sur le nom d’Haydn (1909).

Diseño e identidad en las economías regionales. Caso industria textil Mar del Plata, Argentina
Authors: Monacchi María Celina
Published: July 2021

Las tensiones suscitadas entre lo local y lo global en la posmodernidad son objeto de estudio para numerosos autores. Sus efectos en la cultura, economía, política y sociedad son evidentes e insoslayables. La identidad, como construcción social, también se ve alterada por estos procesos y adquiere nuevas formas y dinámicas en la praxis. Desde la perspectiva del diseño, la identidad se vuelve un factor esencial para acompañar el desarrollo de las economías regionales dentro de un mercado globalizado.

Este trabajo es parte de un proyecto de investigación como becaria de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, que indaga sobre la vinculación del diseño y las industrias locales. Sin ahondar en las definiciones epistemológicas, en este artículo, se pretende reflexionar respecto a la identidad de una actividad económica con un fuerte arraigo local, tomando como caso de estudio la industria textil de la ciudad. Su objetivo es determinar cómo el diseño puede colaborar en los procesos de interacción entre los entornos productivos locales y los mercados globales. Para ello, este escrito se apoya en los conceptos que plantean David Morley (2001) y Arjun Appadurain (2001) respecto a la territorialización y la heterogeneización cultural emergentes en la posmodernidad.
Difusión de arquitectura en Latinoamérica y las revistas especializadas en el siglo XXI
Authors: Fierro Corral Christian
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo de reflexión debate en torno a diversas fuentes sobre el presente de las revistas de arquitectura en Latinoamérica, utilizando el siglo XXI como un marco histórico definido por múltiples plataformas y soportes para su desarrollo como medios de difusión especializados. Primero, se entiende a la arquitectura en su condición teórico-práctica, donde existen muchas maneras de ser estudiada por ser una disciplina compleja en sentido, forma y soporte; basada en el hacer y el declarar, la arquitectura busca a través de diversos medios de representación su propio desarrollo.

En el artículo se revisa a la revista como producto editorial, que tiene como propósito ser evidentemente especializada, con una postura definida tanto por las opiniones manifestadas dentro de ella como por sus políticas editoriales. Bajo este parámetro, se entiende a la revista especializada de arquitectura como un medio capaz de generar contenido propositivo para el propio quehacer de la disciplina. De esta forma las revistas de arquitectura cumplen una doble condición: ser soporte de múltiples niveles de información, donde además del texto y el lenguaje escrito aparece un lenguaje arquitectónico propio; y ser fuente historiográfica, para entender el pasado, criticar el presente y proponer a futuro, manifestando una contemporaneidad entre ideas y proyectos.

Así, se explora cómo las revistas de arquitectura se enfrentan al siglo XXI con un valor en la formación y el desarrollo de líneas discursivas, operacionales y de representación, tras una tradición que comienza en el siglo XVIII en Europa y se ha traducido, entre los siglos XIX y XX a otras esferas como piezas fundamentales para el estudio de distintos movimientos y períodos de la arquitectura.

Metodológicamente, el artículo aborda estas temáticas a través del estudio de las revistas chilenas Revista de Arquitectura número 23, Arquitecturas del Sur número 50 y la revista argentina DANA número 43; enfrentadas a experiencias como la Asociación de Revistas Latinoamericanas de Arquitectra (ARLA) y el Centro de Documentación de Arquitectura Latinoamericana (Cedodal). De esta forma, se permite comprender en la nueva producción de material editorial especializado el propio estado de la arquitectura contemporánea, cuestionarla y proponer cambios respecto a su quehacer teórico o práctico basado, generalmente, en más incertidumbres que certezas.
Diseño y diversidad funcional
Authors: Del Castillo Jorge
Published: July 2021

Hablar de la diversidad funcional desde el diseño no es muy común pues este ha sido un tema casi siempre relegado al ámbito médico o clínico. El presente artículo busca mostrar, a través de las experiencias del taller de Diseño en los proyectos de Grado para la carrera de Diseño Industrial, cómo se puede tener una aproximación distinta, creativa y sensible a esta perspectiva, permitiendo fortalecer y evidenciar el concepto de la inclusión a través del diseño.

El artículo contextualiza las consideraciones necesarias para entender, asimilar e involucrarse en el concepto de la diversidad funcional y adquirir un método que permitirá enlazarse con el  diseño, la innovación y la calidad de vida a través de propuestas creativas, logrando impactar y responder a necesidades y condiciones que surgen de una condición de diversidad funcional, la cual generalmente ha sido tratada como una situación de discriminación.
