Published: April 2024

The use of draught animals is still a reality in urban centers and has great economic and social relevance, serving as a driving force to capture recyclable materials or small freights and as a source of income for the population under vulnerability. The present research aimed to evaluate the morphometric parameters of horses used for traction in the urban region of Maceió, Alagoas, in order to identify the productive type and work capacity of the horses, based on their morphometric structure. A survey of the clinical register of 60 traction horses, from the Large Animal Release sector, was carried out at the Zoonoses Surveillance Unit (Unidade de Vigilância de Zoonoses - UVZ) of Maceió, Alagoas. The animals were submitted to zootechnical evaluation, with individual identification and measurement of morphometric measurements by the method of linear measurements and body circumferences. For this, a tape measure was used to measure the following variables: thoracic circumference (CTórax), body length (CCop.), withers height (ACern.), chest width (Lpeito) and cinnamon circumference (CCan.). From these measurements, the estimated weight was calculated and the morphometric indices were calculated: Body index (ICorp), compactness index 1 (Icomp.1), compactness index 2 (Icomp.2), conformation index (IConf ) and the dactyl-thoracic index (TDI). In view of the results obtained, the aptitude of horses used in traction in the urban region of Maceió, Alagoas is for saddle, according to body indexes incompatible with what is characterized in the literature for traction activity.

Published: April 2024

Mesothelioma is a neoplasm considered infrequent in canines. Its peritoneal location is not common in dogs when compared to the pleural origin. This study aims to report a case of metastatic trabecular epithelioid mesothelioma in a dog, diagnosed through anatomopathological and immunohistochemical examination. The patient was hospitalized and treated, but his clinical picture worsened, and euthanasia was chosen. At necropsy, the main findings were the abdomen and thorax with the presence of tumor nodules of soft consistency, and the cuts were pinkish-brown in color. Histologically, they were composed of malignant mesothelial cells, predominantly epithelioid cells arranged in cords. There was metastasis in the lungs, kidneys, and lymphatic vessels of the heart. Samples were submitted to immunohistochemical analysis and tumor cells showed cytoplasmic immunoreaction for anti-human mesothelial cell (HBME-1) and anti-cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), in addition to a moderate proliferative index evidenced by the reaction against the proliferation nuclear antigen cellular (PCNA). There was no staining for vimentin and anti-epithelial antigen (EMA). Thus, the anatomopathological and immunohistochemical analysis showed that it was a trabecular epithelioid mesothelioma with a moderate proliferative index and multiple metastatic sites.

Published: April 2024

Several factors favor the recurrence of canine otitis due to chronic inflammation, the aim of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) as an alternative treatment for otitis externa in dogs, compared to conventional topical therapy. Fourteen domestic dogs of different breeds, with spontaneous otitis externa caused by Malassezia spp. were randomly allocated into two groups: conventional topical therapy (G1), with the application of cerumenolytic and an antimicrobial twice a day for seven days (in 14 ears); and aPDT (G2), using a diode laser with 0.1W power, wavelength (ʎ) of 660nm and irradiation every 48 hours, for seven days (in 13 ears). The therapeutic protocol was assessed every 48 h and the times 0 (T0), 48h (T48), 96h (T96) and 144h (T144) were chosen for statistical comparison. Both treatments were efficient in reducing clinical signs, with no significant difference (P>0.05) between them. In the cytological evaluation for Malassezia spp., the mean count at T0 was 25.80 ±5.012 cells/field of 100x in G1 and 40.35±5.216 cells/field of 100x in G2, with no significant difference between the groups before the beginning of treatments (p=1.000). At T144, both groups showed a significant reduction (P<0.05) with a mean count of 2.35 ±0.958 cells/field of 100x in G1 and 3.22±0.997 cells/field of 100x in G2. In conclusion, aPDT provided similar results to conventional therapy, but only required 3 interventions, making it an alternative therapy in cases of otitis with the presence of Malassezia spp.

Published: April 2024

Horses of the Mangalarga Marchador breed have traditionally been selected for their morphology and gait pattern, being for comfortable to ride over long periods of time and during ranch work. Meanwhile, the athletic side of the breed has been much overlooked, especially regarding the endurance and working equitation competitions. In this study, 31 Mangalarga Marchador horses were evaluated during the national competition Caminhos do Marchador. The referred competition was carried out in three stages, with the first being an endurance stage, the second stage a working equitation stage, and the third and last stage was a gait evaluation, where the gait of the horses were assessed subjectively by an official jury. Twenty-five morphometric measurements and indexes of these animals were taken after the competition and were then statistically analyzed. A correlation between gender and athletic performance was found, with geldings having the best results, and females having the worst results. The type of gait also influenced the final ratings, with horses presenting batida gait having better placements. Smaller horses had better results than tall horses, while there was no age interference in the final ratings.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a condition of high incidence, especially in feedlot cattle, however, there is still no consensus on the most effective vaccine protocol for its control. The objective was to evaluate two vaccine protocols against BRD in steers finished in feedlot and their influence on respiratory indicators and weight gains. This study included 42 ½ Angus blood steers, distributed in control, IN, and IM groups. On the IN protocol, the steers received a single vaccine dose on the day of the feedlot entrance. For the IM protocol, they received two vaccine doses, the primo vaccination was performed 21 days prior to the feedlot and the reinforcement on the day of feedlot entrance. BRD indicators, body weight gain, and serum levels of immunoglobulin-G, immunoglobulin-A, and haptoglobin were measured. At slaughter, the presence and severity of pneumonia were analyzed. IM protocol presented a lower BRD indicators and incidence of pneumonia (P=0.0004 CO and P=0.03, IN) and better performance (body weight gain and slaughter weight (P=0.05) than the other groups. IN presented more respiratory disease indicators from on D7 and the same performance of the control group. We conclude the IM protocol was more effective for steers finished in feedlot.

Authors: Li Xin , Liu Mengqi , Zhao Shuqiang , Chen Zhiye
Published: April 2024

Background::

A contrast agent-free approach would be preferable to the frequently used invasive approaches for evaluating cerebral perfusion in chronic
migraineurs (CM). In this work, non-invasive quantitative volumetric perfusion imaging was used to evaluate alterations in cerebral perfusion in
CM.

Methods::

We used conventional brain structural imaging sequences and 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (3D PCASL) to examine thirteen CM
patients and fifteen normal controls (NCs). The entire brain gray matter underwent voxel-based analysis, and the cerebral blood flow (CBF) values
of the altered positive areas were retrieved to look into the clinical variables' significant correlation.

Results::

Brain regions with the decreased perfusion were located in the left postcentral gyrus, bilateral middle frontal gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, left
superior parietal lobule, left medial segment of superior frontal gyrus, and right orbital part of the inferior frontal gyrus. White matter fibers with
decreased perfusion were located in bilateral superior longitudinal tracts, superior corona radiata, external capsules, anterior and posterior limbs of
the internal capsule, anterior corona radiata, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and right corticospinal tract. However, the correlation analysis showed
no significant correlation between the CBF value of the above positive brain regions with clinical variables (p > 0.05).

Conclusion::

The current study provided more useful information to comprehend the pathophysiology of CM and revealed a new insight into the neural
mechanism of CM from the pattern of cerebral hypoperfusion.

Published: April 2024

Objective. The purpose of this work is to develop a decision support system in the form of a computer program «Calculation of departmental assessment of administrative activities of the police» based on the algorithm for statistical analysis of data from the «1-AP» report, which allows in an inclusive form (for example, graphically) to track the dynamics of key indicators, contained in the «1-AP» report for officials of internal affairs bodies responsible for maintaining public order.

Method. The problem of objective contradiction between the indicators of departmental criteria for assessing the administrative activities of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation and non-departmental assessment of the activities of territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has been identified. In order to resolve it, it is proposed to take into account the number of identified administrative offenses as an additional indicator of departmental assessment of law enforcement in public places, assessing their growth as a positive characteristic. To identify the quantitative component of this indicator, it is necessary to analyze the dynamics of the data contained in the «1-AP» statistical reporting form.

Result. The developed computer program implements: summary and grouping of information from the statistical forms of the «1-AP» report for the entire period of validity of Order No. 179 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia; analysis and forecasting of time series, adjusted according to various informative indicators of administrative practice; formation of diagrams for graphical analysis of trends in the phenomena being studied.

Conclusion. The developed decision support system in the form of a computer program is an effective means of implementing information and communication technologies in the activities of internal affairs bodies. Users of this system will be officials of internal affairs bodies responsible for organizing the protection of public order, as well as cadets and adjuncts studying in legal specialties.
Impact of determinants on foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabia: A multiple linear regression analysis
Authors:   Finance Department, Faculty of Economics and Administration, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Alalmai Somaiyah
Published: April 2024

Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) is crucial globally, especially in developing economies. FDI brings in capital, boosts production, enhances infrastructure, generates employment, and fosters economic growth. This becomes particularly significant for Saudi Arabia in light of its Vision 2030 plan, which aims to elevate FDI to 5.7% of its GDP by 2030 (equivalent to $100 billion annually). This study delves into the primary factors influencing FDI in Saudi Arabia. Analyzing data from 2005 to 2021, we explore the effects of various factors, including market size, economic growth, inflation, income levels, export performance, trade openness, corruption levels, and government spending. Using multiple linear regression (MLR), we analyze these factors' impact on FDI. Our findings reveal four significant determinants. Market size, inflation rate, and trade openness positively influence FDI inflows, while GDP per capita (income) has a negative impact. Other variables studied did not show significant effects. These results can inform policymakers in formulating strategies to attract more foreign investment.

Authors: Martin Tobias , Veldeman Sarah , Großmann Heidrun , Fuchs-Frohnhofen Paul , Czaplik Michael , Follmann Andreas
Published: April 2024

Background

There is growing evidence that telemedicine can improve the access to and quality of health care for nursing home residents. However, it is still unclear how to best manage and guide the implementation process to ensure long-term adoption, especially in the context of a decline in telemedicine use after the COVID-19 crisis.

Objective

This study aims to identify and address major challenges for the implementation of televisits among residents in a nursing home, their caring nurses, and their treating general practitioners (GPs). It also evaluated the impact of televisits on the nurses’ workload and their nursing practice.

Methods

A telemedical system with integrated medical devices was introduced in 2 nursing homes and their cooperating GP offices in rural Germany. The implementation process was closely monitored from the initial decision to introduce telemedicine in November 2019 to its long-term routine use until March 2023. Regular evaluation was based on a mixed methods approach combining rigorous qualitative approaches with quantitative measurements.

Results

In the first phase during the COVID-19 pandemic, both nursing homes achieved short-term adoption. In the postpandemic phase, an action-oriented approach made it possible to identify barriers and take control actions for long-term adoption. The implementation of asynchronous visits, strong leadership, and sustained training of the nurses were critical elements in achieving long-term implementation in 1 nursing home. The implementation led to enhanced clinical skills, higher professional recognition, and less psychological distress among the nursing staff. Televisits resulted in a modest increase in time demands for the nursing staff compared to organizing in-person home visits with the GPs.

Conclusions

Focusing on health care workflow and change management aspects depending on the individual setting is of utmost importance to achieve successful long-term implementation of telemedicine.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized medical diagnostics, introducing cutting-edge methods for identifying and managing intricate mental health conditions like schizophrenia (SZ) . This detailed review is focused on the various roles of AI in the identification of SZ and synthesizing data from recent advancements in neuroimaging. AI techniques particularly machine learning and deep learning have proven effective in improving the precision of early SZ diagnosis by detecting subtle patterns that elude human detection. The current article discusses how AI consolidates information from diverse sources like EEG, fMRI, and linguistic analyses to build predictive models with enhanced accuracy. It also addresses the ethical considerations and challenges posed by AI in medical environments such as data privacy and the necessity of algorithms to be transparent. Utilizing the predictive strength of machine learning algorithms and amalgamating different datasets enables clinicians to pinpoint subtle neurobiological indicators, anticipate responses to treatments, and adapt interventions to meet the specific needs of individual patients.
Formulation as Representation - Modelling the Cognitive Space of Mental Health Clinical Reasoning (Preprint)
Authors: Hider Andrew , Sim Su Hua
Published: April 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

This paper discusses the specific characteristics of any hypothetical cognitive space that may be modelled in
order to automate (or partially automate) the kind of mental health clinical reasoning - clinical or psychological
case formulation - that is used by mental health professionals. It argues that work into the use of generative
artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of mental health needs to consider three components of this kind of
clinical reasoning. Firstly, heterotopy. When mental health clinical reasoning statements are made, parsing them
does not result in the same representation when the same words are used, due to the fact that mental health
ontologies contain multiple meanings for the same words. Secondly, orthogonality. Variables relevant to mental
health may not causally intersect but may both be relevant for clinical case formulation and treatment
determination. Thirdly, veridicality. The truth of a clinical case formulation may not be determined by any
testable observations. Even treatment response may not allow for a determination of truth., The truth status of a
clinical case formulation may hinge principally on the degree to which it confers meaning or understanding of a
mental state on the person who is experiencing that mental state, and that truth may be different to the truth
judgements of a mental healthcare clinician. Automated clinical case formulation models need to accommodate
for these features of the cognitive space of mental health clinical case formulation.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BIMORPH MAGNETO-ELECTRO-ELASTIC ENERGY HARVESTERS
Authors: Moory Shirbani Meisam , Alavi Sayed Ehsan
Published: April 2024

This study thoroughly investigates the multi-objective optimization of a magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) harvester in bimorph configurations and by the new method of Harris Hawk’s optimization (HHO). The harvesters are configured in both series and parallel connections and under harmonic excitation to explore the effects of various parameters on the performance of the harvesting system. The primary objective is to maximize the total harvested power. Optimization involves various parameters, including dimensions, relative displacement changes, voltage, and current values. The Pareto fronts from the HHO method reveal optimal points in different configurations and scenarios. Notably, the optimal points are selected based on the criterion of maximum total power. The results reveal distinct optimal points for each objective function, demonstrating trade-offs between performance metrics. These findings provide valuable insights into the design and operation of efficient energy harvesters in MEE systems. The parallel configuration outperforms the series connection in terms of the current generation. Moreover, the evaluation of the overall performance of the energy harvesters in terms of total harvested power indicated that both series and parallel connections could lead to promising outcomes. However, the series connection exhibited a more dominant effect on maximizing the total harvested power, proving its relevance in pursuing the highest possible power output.

Navigating cultural crossroads in multilingual Malaysia: Motivation, support, and intercultural communicative competence
Authors: Liu Chen , Yin Dongwei
Published: April 2024

This research examined the relationships between motivation, support, and intercultural communicative competence (ICC) among students involved in a university project in Malaysia, called Crossroads of Culture. We evaluated the impact on ICC of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation types,
and of autonomy, competence, and relatedness support. Data collected via a questionnaire from a diverse group of 273 participants were processed using descriptive and correlation analysis. The findings underscore that in Malaysia's multilingual society, students participating in intercultural
communicative activities had higher intrinsic than extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, extrinsic motivators, such as the desire to improve language skills, obtain credits or certificates, or achieve career benefits, did not exhibit a significant correlation with ICC. Additionally, the availability
of mentor support and the establishment of meaningful relationships among participants were identified as pivotal elements in molding their levels of satisfaction, which profoundly impacted their ICC. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Authors: Ribeiro Marcelo Gomes
Published: April 2024

This article discusses the phenomenon of deindustrialization in the main metropolitan regions of Brazil during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The objectives are to present an analysis of the production structure of the manufacturing industry in Brazilian metropolises, vis-à-vis its national insertion, to identify the branches of activity that were most crucial to the country’s metropolitan deindustrialization process, and to characterize the metropolitan regions in which this phenomenon has mostly occurred. For this, public data has been used, together with a tabulation requested from the IBGE regarding the value of industrial manufacturing in metropolitan regions over several years. It was identified that Brazilian deindustrialization is fundamentally a metropolitan phenomenon, specifically when considering the branches with the highest technological intensity. However, this process has not occurred homogeneously across the metropolises. Those that have most contributed to its occurrence were São Paulo, Salvador and Curitiba, while those that most counterbalanced this process were Rio de Janeiro and Recife.

Published: April 2024

Akciğer kanseri ağırlıklı olarak 65 ila 84 yaş arası yaşlı bireylerde görülen ve tanı anında ortalama yaş 70 olan, ileri evrede tanı konulabilen, dünya çapında kansere bağlı ölümlerin önde gelen nedeni olarak gösterilen hastalıktır. Akciğer kanserine bağlı 2018 yılında yaklaşık 1,7 milyon birey hayatını kaybetmişken bu oranın küresel olarak 2035 yılına kadar artabileceği ve 3 milyon bireyin hastalığa bağlı olarak hayatını kaybedebileceği tahmin edilmektedir. Türkiye’de erkeklerde akciğer kanseri görülme sıklığı olarak ilk sırada, kadınlarda ise 5.sırada yer almaktadır. Uluslararası rehber görüşlerinde, akciğer kanserinin tedavi yöntemleri olarak kemoterapi, radyoterapi, kemo/radyoterapi, rezeksiyon yer almaktadır. 2018 Nobel Tıp ve Fizyoloji Ödülü ile akciğer kanserli hastalarda devrim niteliğinde kanser immünoterapisi tedavisi literatüre dahil edilmiştir. Kanser immünoterapötik ilaçları, kanser hastalarının tedavisinde büyük başarı gösterse de akciğer kanserli hastalarda malnütrisyon prevalansı %34,5 ile %69 arasında değişmekte olup yüksektir. Kanserli bireylerde malnütrisyon durumunun erken tanınması, bireysel beslenme değerlendirmesinin yapılması hastalığın klinik seyrini ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkileyebilmektedir. İmmünoterapi öncesi ve sonrasında hastanın beslenme durumunu etkileyecek semptomları yönetecek ve diyetisyen tarafından yapılacak, nütrisyonel değerlendirme, nütrisyonel teşhis ve tanı, nütrisyonel müdahale, izleme/değerlendirme süreçlerini içeren diyet danışmanlığı temel tedavi yöntemlerinden biridir. Hasta tedavi sürecinde beslenme durumunu olumsuz etkileyecek hangi yan etkilere (iştahsızlık, tat, koku değişimleri, bulantı, diyare) sahipse, yan etkileri azaltacak ya da düzeltecek ve hastanın tüketebileceği, hastanın sevdiği, hastanın gereksinimi olan makro ve mikro besin öğelerini de karşılayacak beslenme önerilerinde bulunulmalıdır. Nitekim çalışmalar yetersiz beslenme ile immünoterapinin toleransı veya etkinliği arasında bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Akciğer kanserli hastaların beslenme durumu sürekli değişmektedir ve beslenme müdahale yaklaşımlarının, tedavi semptom yönetiminin zamanında yapılması gerekmektedir.

Purpose: Purpose of this study is to compare the short-term results of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty applied stable knees regardless of the condition of the ACL and the application of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and ACL reconstruction combined surgery applied to ACL deficient cases with anterior instability and to identify the condition and function of the ACL for success in this surgery.
Patients and Methods: 80 out of the 105 patients who were operated in 2013-2015 and came for follow-up were included in the study and the patients were divided into four groups. The VAS pain score, KSS Score, WOMAC score, OKS questionnaires and joint range of motion measurements were conducted pre-operatively and post-operatively. One leg standing test, joint position sense measurement, and isokinetic muscle strength test were performed in post-operative controls.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the demographic data and follow-up of the groups (p˃0.05). While there was a statistically significant difference in knee flexion between Group 2-Group 4 and Group 3-Group 4 in the pre-operative period, no difference was found in the post-operative period (p˃0.05). While there was no difference among the groups, knee joint range of motion in direction of extension declined in a statistically significant way in all four groups (p˂0.05). Pain felt postoperatively was the most in Group 1 and the least in Group 3. A statistically significant difference was found between Group 1 and Group 3 in the test performed with the eyes closed (p˂0.05).
Conclusion: The presence of a functional anterior cruciate ligament is expected to make a positive contribution to surgical results especially in young patients with high activity expectation. Whether the patient’s ACL rupture is primary or secondary and his/her activity expectation should be effective in the choice of a surgical method.

The writer conducted research on the translation strategy used in the subtitled film "Parker" by Taylor Hackford. This research focuses on examining the various types of translation strategies discovered. The data in this study is analyzed using Gottlieb's (1992:166) theory of subtitling strategy. The data source is a DVD copy of the original film. Listening technique and note-taking technique were used to identify and classify the data. The unit of analysis in this research is every utterance that has a subtitling strategies and is classified into ten subtitling strategies contained in the film’s subtitle. The total data collected is 914 complete utterances in English and Indonesian. The results showed that there were only 8 strategies out of 10 strategies that were applied with the highest to lowest frequency : Transfer (71.11%). Imitation (313.67%), paraphrase (7.98%), condensation (3.61%), decimation (1.57%), deletion (1.20%). and others of less than 1%, such as expansion (0.65%), and transcription (0.21).

Compound sentence is a sentence that has a couple or extra independent clause that connected by conjunction coordinator Fanboys, semicolon/coma, and conjunctive adverb. The center of this study is on compound sentence found in “Crazy Rich Asians” novel by Kevin Kwan. The aim of this study are follows: (1) to find out types of compound sentence in Crazy Rich Asians novel by Kevin Kwan. (2) to analyze the constituent structure of compound sentence found in Crazy Rich Asians novel by Kevin Kwan. Moreover, qualitative research method is used to analyze the data found in this study. In order to analyze the data, there are two theories are used. The first main theory is from Oshima and Hogue (1998) about type of sentence, and the second as supporting theory is from Brown and Miller (1991) about tree diagram structure. There are two ways of presenting the data in this study; formal and informal method. The formal method used in form of tree diagram and the informal method used words to explain the data descriptively. The result of the study shows type of compound sentence found in the novel. There are 38 data connected with coordinator, only 3 data connected by semicolon / coma, and the rest 2 following data connected with conjunctive adverb.

El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la utilidad del análisis de isótopos estables en restos humanos para el abordaje de la movilidad y la dieta en cazadores-recolectores en el área del río Pinturas. Para ello se analizaron los isótopos estables del carbono, nitrógeno y oxígeno en colágeno y bioapatita en cinco individuos de la cuenca. Todos los individuos presentaron valores similares para todas las relaciones isotópicas consideradas, con excepción del individuo 3 del sitio Puesto El Rodeo. Los marcos de referencia disponibles para la región de δ15N como el δ18O han demostrado ser útiles para identificar diferencias ecológico-climáticas en un eje este-oeste en la región. Sobre esta base, se plantea que el individuo 3 de Puesto El Rodeo correspondería a un individuo no local proveniente del área al oeste de la cuenca, mientras que el resto de los individuos analizados presenta valores asociados al área esteparia del centro-oeste de la Patagonia.
DE EXPLORADORES, TOPONIMIAS Y POSTCOLONIALISMO. REPENSANDO LA PRESENCIA DE SUECIA EN LA PATAGONIA
Authors: de los Reyes Paulina
Published: April 2024

La presencia de nombres suecos en los paisajes de la Patagonia nos habla de tempranas conexiones entre Chile y Suecia que, hasta el momento, no han sido suficientemente estudiadas. Tomando como punto de partida el relato de viaje del explorador sueco Otto Nordenskjöld quien recorrió esas regiones a fines del siglo XIX, este artículo analiza desde una perspectiva postcolonial el carácter de esas conexiones enfatizando la tradición académica del autor y su posicionamiento en la geopolítica del conocimiento. A partir de esta mirada, se sostiene que la expedición de Nordenskjöld y su relato sobre la Patagonia forma parte de un proyecto de dominación que no solamente incluye el (re)nombramiento de lugares y la borradura de memorias ancestrales, sino que se articula con la tradición taxonomista del racismo científico en Suecia. La recolección de osamentas humanas y la apropiación de enseres domésticos para ser exhibidos, estudiados o comercializados como objetos racializados en Suecia expone la opacidad de los lazos que unen la expedición de Nordenskjöld con la colonización de la Patagonia y Tierra del Fuego.

En esta entrega se desclasifican cuatro documentos fechados entre febrero y julio de 1962. Estos escritos refieren a la gestión de solicitud de un terreno fiscal para ser destinado a carabineros de Chile en Tierra del Fuego. El objetivo de la solicitud era instalar un retén policial en la orilla fueguina del Onashaga/canal Beagle, específicamente en la bahía Yendegaia. Hemos contextualizado los documentos desclasificados con notas publicadas en la prensa regional, un manuscrito de autoría del constructor del retén y planimetrías originales e inéditas.
RÍO BOTE 1 (SANTA CRUZ, ARGENTINA): ANÁLISIS TAFONÓMICO DE LOS CONJUNTOS ZOOARQUEOLÓGICOS RECUPERADOS ENTRE FINES DEL HOLOCENO MEDIO Y TARDÍO

Published: April 2024

En este trabajo realizamos un estudio exploratorio de los procesos de formación del sitio RB1, a partir del análisis del registro zooarqueológico comprendido en capas estratificadas entre ca. 4.200 y 350 años AP. Para ello evaluamos el grado de intervención de diferentes agentes y estudiamos la preservación e integridad del registro en relación con los cambios en la morfología del sitio para discutir el rol humano en la formación de los conjuntos. Los resultados indican que el ser humano habría sido el principal agente acumulador y que su accionar habría variado a lo largo de la secuencia analizada. A su vez, el registro faunístico sugiere cambios en la preservación de los restos óseos, los cuales se encuentran en estrecha relación con las variaciones ambientales del área.
