Derivas regionales de la crisis de la psicología social. La subjetividad en clave histórica y social desde los aportes de la psicología de la liberación y de la psicología comunitaria
Authors: Martín Santiago Andrés
Published: December 2024

El artículo atiende a la crisis de la psicología social de mediados de siglo XX como un momento nodal para el desarrollo de elaboraciones regionales en la materia. Se considera que estas representan esfuerzos significativos para replantear las claves epistemológicas y los horizontes políticos de la psicología social. El artículo tiene como objetivo identificar, en la psicología de la liberación y en la psicología comunitaria, conceptos pertinentes para la construcción de una perspectiva psicosocial de trabajo en salud mental comunitaria. Específicamente, se trabaja, en un tono ensayístico, la idea de que la psicología de la liberación ofrece un horizonte de sentido signado por el carácter político de la intervención a través de la consigna de escribir la propia historia. Por su parte, la psicología comunitaria brinda una herramienta conceptual importante para disolver la división individuo-sociedad, como es la categoría de procesos psicosociales. Ambos conceptos abren el ejercicio de la crítica a la hora de repensar la intervención en salud mental comunitaria sobre escenarios sociales convulsionados. En conjunto, estas derivas latinoamericanas de la crisis de la psicología social contribuyeron a la construcción de una perspectiva psicosocial que hoy resulta valiosa para el análisis de la subjetividad desde un punto de vista histórico y social.
Acerca del funcionamiento de dispositivos residenciales territoriales para usuarixs de un hospital psicoasistencial de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Un enfoque desde la salud mental comunitaria
Authors: Etchepare Carla , Costa Ayelén
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo pone en conocimiento los resultados de una investigación realizada durante el año 2022, que intentó dar cuenta de cómo se desarrollaban los dispositivos residenciales territoriales dependientes del Hospital Nacional y Comunidad Dr. Ramón Carrillo, creados en 2004 a partir de la Reforma del Modelo de Atención y Rehabilitación Integral en la Provincia de Buenos Aires. La implementación de estos dispositivos aspiraba a la sustitución de las camas asilares, partiendo de la consideración de que una gran cantidad de personas con padecimiento mental presentaban dificultades para la inclusión social, y a la vida en comunidad en condiciones adecuadas que pudieran garantizar la autonomía personal y el funcionamiento social. Esta investigación presenta un enfoque mixto de tipo descriptivo-exploratorio, con un diseño transversal a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas a profesionales, grupos focales a usuarixs y la aplicación de la Escala de Prácticas Restrictivas a coordinadores de los dispositivos. Su objetivo es conocer el funcionamiento de los mismos a través de todos sus actores para así poder describir sus características, evaluar prácticas restrictivas y su situación actual respecto a la vida diaria y a la inclusión de las personas usuarias en la comunidad. Los resultados demuestran cierta convivencia, en líneas generales, de prácticas restrictivas y otras que favorecen la autonomía de las personas. Asimismo, se da lugar a la palabra de éstas, quienes manifiestan conformidad y bienestar con las condiciones de vida que llevan en los dispositivos.

En este artículo investigamos la continuidad de los procesos de atención de un grupo de usuarios/as de servicios de salud por motivos de salud mental, y tiene como objetivos analizar la continuidad de la atención en el Sistema de Salud de la ciudad de Rosario, desde la perspectiva de usuarios/as con Padecimiento Mental Severo y Persistente (PMSP), describir la utilización que hacen de la red de servicios y analizar la valoración del vínculo que establecen con los equipos de salud. Para profundizar la implementación de la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental y Adicciones, particularmente en lo que respecta a la planificación, gestión y fortalecimiento de los servicios comunitarios de salud y salud mental, resulta fundamental –entre otros objetivos– situar con precisión grupos poblacionales cuyas problemáticas (vulnerabilidad psicosocial, vinculadas a las violencias, dificultades en el acceso a la vivienda, entre otras) requieren de la implementación de estrategias de abordaje similares, más allá de la singularidad de cada caso e independientemente del diagnóstico. Utilizamos una metodología cualitativa, basada en el análisis del discurso. Entrevistamos 15 usuarios/as, indagando en torno a diversos aspectos socio-demográficos, como principalmente aquellos relativos a sus procesos de atención. En cuanto a los resultados, encontramos que los/as usuarios/as hacen uso de una serie de servicios de salud y salud mental, con diversos grados de articulación entre sí, incluso combinando y alternando entre servicios de diferentes niveles de atención.
Proyecto comunitario “Tiempo Compartido”: un espacio recreativo y reflexivo para infancias y cuidadorxs en territorio
Authors: Alfei Constanza
Published: December 2024

El presente relato se enmarca en el desarrollo de una Residencia Interdisciplinaria en Salud Mental (RISaM), específicamente en el pasaje por un Equipo de Atención Comunitaria de un Centro de Salud Municipal de la Ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Intenta explicitar una respuesta por parte del equipo de residentes (trabajadora social y psicóloga) e integrantes del equipo de Salud Mental ante la demanda de la directora de una de las escuelas del barrio y las mujeres de la comunidad, desde el enfoque de Derechos Humanos, la Salud Mental Comunitaria y el Psicoanálisis, en el contexto de pandemia por COVID-19. 
El objetivo principal fue diseñar un dispositivo intersectorial que aloje no solo la demanda de la escuela sino de las mujeres, quienes llegaban al centro de salud con la preocupación de no poder acompañar a sus hijxs en los procesos escolares, lo cual producía malestares subjetivos diversos, tanto en los hogares como en la institución escolar. 
Se propuso un taller recreativo y reflexivo que nombramos “Tiempo Compartido” en el amplio parque del centro de salud, del cual participaron adultes cuidadores e infancias, con el fin de incluir prácticas de cuidado en el abordaje integral de la comunidad que se alejen de paradigmas asistencialistas, adultocentristas y paternalistas en la propuesta de atención comunitaria.
Más allá del negocio inmobiliario: van por otro terreno. Sobre la subasta del Centro N°1 de Salud Mental y otras repeticiones
Authors: Zabalza Sergio
Published: December 2024

El Centro de Salud Mental N°1 “Dr. Hugo Rosarios” es un efector monovalente ubicado en el barrio de Núñez (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina) que ofrece atención psicoterapéutica y psicofarmacológica en forma ambulatoria para niños, adolescentes, adultos, parejas, familias y grupos. El terreno donde se asienta es de Nación. La administración libertaria quiere subastarlo junto con otros cuatrocientos inmuebles. El decreto 950/24 del Poder Ejecutivo Nacional pone en vigencia un anterior decreto firmado durante el gobierno Cambiemita. En agosto de 2016, por medio del decreto 952/2016, el entonces presidente Mauricio Macri había dispuesto la venta por subasta de 17 propiedades consideradas ociosas, entre las cuales se encontraba el Centro de Salud Mental N°1. La inmediata reacción de profesionales, trabajadores y pacientes impidió el intento. Subastar este Centro junto a canchitas de fútbol, predios de la SIDE y hasta un boliche ya era una sobrada muestra de la insensibilidad que desde siempre distinguió a la ideología neoliberal, hoy travestida de anarco libertaria. De esta forma estamos asistiendo a una Repetición cuya naturaleza vale indagar.

Border-Crossing and “Temporal Otherness” in the Greater Region SaarLorLux: Residential Migrants’ Experiences of Divergence
Authors: Boesen Elisabeth
Published: December 2024

This article deals with border-crossing and the experiences of “temporal otherness” of residential migrants who move their home from Luxembourg to the German side of the River Moselle. Research on temporal borders is highly influenced by a particular spatio-political relation: the West creating its underdeveloped other and coping with this other by controlling border-crossing, which in turn results in maintaining the idea of the other’s temporal remoteness. The Luxembourgish–German border region offers a complement to this perspective; here, one encounters migrants who move in the opposite temporal direction and appreciate certain forms of “being behind” in their new place of residence. These migrants must cope with divergences, i.e., with the fact that economic and socio-cultural conditions within their new socio-spatial universe, the cross-border region, have evolved differently. This article argues that the analysis of migrants’ memories is illuminating with respect to the question of the moral legitimacy of moving, and thus regarding the conception and everyday construction of cross-border communities. It sheds light on the fact that borderland research—by focusing on national differences and related conceptions of cross-border mobility and exchange—tends to ignore borderlanders’ notions of (regional) unity and related claims for convergence.
Keywords: cross-border residential mobility; divergence and convergence; temporal otherness; moral economy of belonging.
Struggling for Time on Lesvos: The Impact of EU and National Legislation and Procedures on Refugee Temporalities
Authors: Daminelli Luca , Cometti Marcella
Published: December 2024

Since the summer of 2015, the Greek island of Lesvos has been centre stage of the so-called refugee crisis and one of the sites where new EU policies for migration control have been tested and implemented. This combined study of jurisprudence with ethnographic fieldwork aims to understand the impact of the asylum regime on the experience of time for refugee applicants on Lesvos. Indeed, different national and EU laws and regulations affect people on the move and their ability to continue their journeys through Europe, forcing them to remain on Lesvos for variable amounts of time waiting for their asylum procedure while experiencing a legal limbo. Long, indefinite waits and abrupt accelerations of the procedure are both part of the temporality of control imposed on refugee subjectivities. Through testimonies collected during ethnographic fieldwork, time is here analysed both in its productivity in terms of humanitarian and labour economies, and in its effects on subjectivities. Different forms of temporal and economic oppression are highlighted, as well as the resulting resistance against these conditions enacted by the refugee population.
Keywords: asylum; time; waiting; border regime; temporalities.
Border Temporalities of Early Childhood: Diverse Education and Care Arrangements of Cross-Border Commuting Parents
Authors: Behnke Selina , Bollig Sabine
Published: December 2024

Based on the distinction between times in childhood and times of childhood, this paper examines the border temporalities of early childhood education and care in the cross-border Greater Region, SaarLorLux. Using a practice-analytical approach to times and borders, and on the basis of qualitative interviews, two types of time-related practices are identified that parents with daily work commutes from Germany to Luxembourg carry out to set up and maintain their children’s education and care arrangements (ECAs): rhythmizing and navigating. How borders and childhood times interweave in these activities is presented along three contrastive patterns of ECAs, which demonstrate the different ‘border experiences’ that cross-border commuting parents make during their use of public services of early education and care (ECEC) in the Greater Region. This not only makes the field of ECEC its own arena of border (dis)integration, but also points to early childhood-specific border temporalities. Building on this, the findings point to the need to expand current inequality-oriented perspectives on border regions and border mobility to include the aspect of childhood and care-related border temporalities.
Keywords: borders; time; border temporalities; childhood; early childhood education and care; childcare; cross-border mobility; borderlands.
Soviet Legacies in Russian (B)order-Making and (B)order-Crossing
Authors: Ermolaeva Oksana
Published: December 2024

This article explores discourses and practices that have shaped border regimes in different times at Russia’s western frontier, focusing on the interplay between state power, border management, and individual lives. Using a “comparative temporalities” approach, it analyses border control processes in the early Soviet period, during the Cold War, and during the Russian war on Ukraine. It assumes that current Russian border policy has visible parallels with systems dating back to 1920s Soviet border policy and to the Cold War (the adoption of police-style management of transborder mobility). It posits that the comparative temporalities approach reveals an alternation between ‘fluid’, ‘semi-transparent’ Russian borders and more impenetrable barriers. Stricter exit border controls are usually reintroduced after periods of border liberalization and laxity related to regime change, e.g., after the Russian Revolution and Civil War, and after the demise of the USSR in 1991. Initially, increasingly authoritarian and repressive control of citizens’ mobility was accompanied by confusion and an increasingly arbitrary application of new, ‘politicized’ markers as local border authorities strove to implement new restrictions under increased state pressure. Then, borders were once again hardened and placed under stricter control. This intensified repression and helped create zones of instability at the borders.

Estratégias de manejo da agrobiodiversidade por agricultores camponeses do ecótono Cerrado-Caatinga, sudoeste do Piauí
Authors: Sousa Thiago Batista , Silva Andrea Leme da , Coutinho Joxleide Mendes da Costa Pires
Published: December 2024

A relevância das estratégias agroecológicas para a conservação da agrobiodiversidade em áreas com rica biodiversidade, como o ecótono Cerrado-Caatinga, não é bem estudada. O objetivo deste estudo é compreender os usos e a gestão dos agroecossistemas rurais no sudoeste do Piauí, Brasil, com foco nas relações entre diversidade biológica e cultural no contexto da expansão das fronteiras agrícolas em Matopiba. Os dados de campo foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 18 informantes, caminhadas exploratórias pelos agroecossistemas, observação participante e documentação fotográfica. As principais estratégias para o manejo da agrobiodiversidade pelos camponeses incluem a salvaguarda da diversidade biológica (ou seja, sementes nativas, espécies e variedades agrícolas) e a multifuncionalidade dos espaços manejados (como a coleta de plantas e a criação de animais nas áreas comunais do Cerrado e da Caatinga). Como resultado, foram identificadas mais de 80 espécies cultivadas em pequenas propriedades e quintais no escopo das plantas manejadas, juntamente com alta diversidade intraespecífica. Essas práticas refletem uma relação coevolutiva entre os agricultores camponeses e seu ambiente, em que a diversidade é essencial para a resiliência climática dos agroecossistemas e a segurança alimentar das comunidades. A expansão da monocultura de soja representa ameaças graves por meio do desmatamento, perda de territórios comunais e homogeneização das espécies cultivadas, colocando em risco tanto a diversidade ecológica quanto a biocultural.
Food and sustainability: meat consumption and vegetarianism in Brazil and the United Kingdom
Authors: Wolstenholme Emily , Duarte Tiago Ribeiro , Teixeira Thaís Rozas , Whitmarsh Lorraine , Poortinga Wouter
Published: December 2024

There is a growing literature on meat consumption and reduced meat diets, given the negative impacts of meat on the environment. However, much of the literature has focussed on global North countries, limiting cross-cultural generalisability and overlooking the role of cultural differences in motivating food choices. The present paper provides a cross-cultural comparison of the motivations for meat consumption and vegetarianism in Brazil and the United Kingdom. This was done by conducting a total of 63 semi-structured interviews with meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans in Brazil (n = 41) and the UK (n = 22). The data was analysed thematically and the findings were compared across the participant samples. The findings showed that meat consumption was similarly motivated and justified in each country through the 4 N’s of justification for meat consumption. However, participants’ experiences of reducing meat consumption varied between the two countries, influenced by distinct motivations, aversions, and constraints. In the UK, price served as a motivation for choosing meatless meals, whereas in Brazil it acted as a constraint to reducing meat consumption. Additionally, in the UK, disgust was identified as a significant aversion particularly towards eating parts of meat that visibly resembled the animal of origin — a sentiment not observed in the Brazilian sample. Lastly, while environmental concerns were not a primary reason for adopting a plant-based diet in either country, they often became a significant motivator for maintaining it after dietary change.

Published: December 2024

La investigación sobre la toma de decisiones, la salud, el temperamento y la psicopatología de los reclusos destaca la importancia de la salud mental y la rehabilitación en las prisiones. El estudio se centra en la alta prevalencia de trastornos mentales, examinando la personalidad y la toma de decisiones, particularmente en aquellos con antecedentes de abuso de sustancias y violencia doméstica. Se enfatiza la necesidad de intervenciones específicas en los entornos penitenciarios. Este estudio evaluó la toma de decisiones bajo ambigüedad y riesgo en 51 reclusos varones de la Prisión Provincial de Granada, incluyendo a aquellos con antecedentes de abuso de drogas, violencia doméstica o ninguno de estos. La toma de decisiones se evaluó mediante la tarea de Iowa Gambling, mientras que la salud mental y física se midió con el SF-36, la personalidad con el TCI-R, y la psicopatología con el MCMI-IV. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la toma de decisiones entre los grupos de reclusos. Sin embargo, aquellos con antecedentes de abuso de sustancias y violencia doméstica mostraron una toma de decisiones consistentemente deficiente. El grupo de violencia doméstica obtuvo puntuaciones significativamente más bajas en el Bloque 5 en comparación con aquellos sin tales antecedentes. Este grupo también presentó mayores limitaciones físicas, dependencia emocional y comportamientos compulsivos. El grupo de abuso de sustancias mostró mayor búsqueda de novedad, comportamiento antisocial, agresividad, síntomas de trastorno de personalidad límite, abuso de alcohol y depresión. El estudio subraya el impacto del abuso de sustancias y la violencia doméstica en la toma de decisiones, los rasgos psicológicos y la salud física entre los hombres encarcelados. Destaca la necesidad de intervenciones personalizadas para abordar problemas cognitivos y conductuales específicos, lo que podría mejorar los resultados de la rehabilitación y reducir la reincidencia.

Use of aldol condensation between furfural and acetone for biofuel production: A review
Authors: Borges Tayla Luiza Pereira , Santana Rejane de Castro , Sato André Gustavo , Rodrigues Fábio de Ávila
Published: December 2024

The continued reliance on fossil fuels and the associated environmental challenges have spurred the development of renewable energy sources, with biorefineries emerging as a prominent solution for converting biomass into valuable fuels and platform chemicals. Among these, the production of furfural, derived from C5 sugars in lignocellulosic materials, holds particular significance. Extended-chain hydrocarbon fuels and intermediates, such as 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc, C8) and 1,4-pentadiene-3-one-1,5-di-2-furanyl (F2Ac, C13), are synthesized via aldol condensation between furfural and acetone, followed by hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation processes. This study emphasizes the critical role of catalysts, particularly heterogeneous catalysts, in increasing the efficiency and selectivity of these reactions. Solid catalysts, compared to their homogeneous counterparts, offer substantial advantages, including ease of recovery, reusability, and increased sustainability. Advances in analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and other state-of-the-art methods, have been instrumental in refining the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts, ensuring improved product quality and process optimization. Additionally, the study explores cutting-edge methodologies for catalyst characterization, utilizing tools such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to obtain precise quantitative and qualitative insights. This review provides a detailed analysis of the integration of these technologies into biofuel production, highlighting the critical role of innovative catalysts—particularly bifunctional systems under controlled conditions—and the development of optimized conversion routes. These strategies are essential for advancing industrial efficiency, improving process selectivity, and contributing to the sustainability of the energy sector.
Larvicidal Effect of Sea Cucumber (Stichopus horrens) against Aedes aegypti Mosquito Larvae (Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors: Sharawi Somia Eissa
Published: December 2024

Background: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors for severe diseases such as dengue fever, Zika virus, chikungunya and yellow fever, presenting a substantial global health challenge. Traditional control measures, primarily chemical insecticides, face limitations due to resistance development and environmental concerns. This study investigates the larvicidal potential of Stichopus horrens extract against Ae. aegypti larvae as an alternative, eco-friendly control strategy. Methods: S. horrens were collected and extracts were prepared using methanol. Larvicidal activity was assessed using various concentrations (0.1% to 5.0%) of the extract, with mortality rates recorded after 24 hours. Result: Results demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in larval mortality, reaching 98.8% at the highest concentration. The LC50 and LC90 values were 0.79% and 5.84%, respectively, indicating significant efficacy. The steep dose-response curve suggests potent activity even at low concentrations. These findings align with previous studies highlighting marine-derived compounds’ potential in mosquito control. The effectiveness of S. horrens extract, combined with its low toxicity to non-target organisms, underscores its promise as part of integrated pest management strategies. Further research is needed to isolate the bioactive compounds and evaluate their field efficacy. This study supports the development of sustainable mosquito control methods to combat resistance and environmental impact.

Authors: Maharani Aisyah , Ayu Purnamasari
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami keterkaitan harga diri dengan shame (baik secara internal dan external) pada koban bullying selama masa sekolah. Hipotesis yang diajukan adalah adanya keterkaitan harga diri dengan shame korban bullying selama masa sekolah. Populasi penelitian terdiri dari dewasa awal yang pernah menjadi korban bullying di sekolah, dengan sampel sebanyak 140 orang dewasa awal, dan 30 orang digunakan untuk uji coba. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur shame berdasarkan skala dari Gilbert dan Andrews (1998), sedangkan harga diri diukur menggunakan skala dari Stets dan Burke (2014). Data dianalisis dengan metode Pearson product moment, dan hasil menunjukkan korelasi negatif antara harga diri dan shame dengan r = -0,790 dan signifikansi 0,000 (p<0,05). Hubungan antara harga diri dan internal shame memiliki r = -0,817, sementara external shame memiliki r = -0,603, keduanya juga signifikan pada p<0,05. Hasil ini mengonfirmasi adanya keterkaitan yang signifikan antara harga diri dengan shame, baik secara internal maupun external, pada korban bullying. Rendahnya harga diri dan tingkat shame dipengaruhi oleh pengalaman negatif di masa lalu, terutama bullying. Pengalaman ini membuat korban merasa tidak berharga dan ditolak secara sosial, yang memperburuk perasaan shame. Faktor eksternal seperti diskriminasi atau penilaian negatif orang lain memperkuat shame, sehingga kombinasi pengalaman internal yang menyakitkan dan pengaruh external negatif berkontribusi pada hubungan yang signifikan antara harga diri dan shame.

Money Politics is the phenomenon of the use of money or other materials by political actors to attract public sympathy. Developments show the use of facilities such as sound systems as a tool to attract public sympathy. This research explores the use of sound systems as a form of new style money politics using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Determining informants used a purposive sampling technique with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. This research uses social exchange theory by George C. Homans and Peter M. Blau in examining the problem formulation. This theory explains social interactions where every action considers the sacrifices and benefits obtained. The research results show that the social relationship between the Wanojejer village head and the community results in beneficial social exchanges for both parties. Loaning a sound system from the village head helps reduce residents' costs when holding events. On the other hand, residents who receive this assistance realize that this is a form of money politics and show their sympathy and support for the village head.

PAM stands for Management Accounting Methods. It is a management accounting method that provides business information in the planning, evaluation, control, and decision-making processes, thus helping companies improve their performance. PAM was initially used only for controlling production costs, and this is often referred to as traditional PAM. Its methods include budgeting, cost accounting, inventory management, and others. With its development and the shift of asset investment from tangible to intangible, new methods for management accounting practices have emerged, focusing more on efforts to increase product value to meet consumer needs. This is called contemporary PAM. Its new methods include value-based management, total equity management, environmental management accounting, and others. The difference between traditional and contemporary PAM lies in its sophistication. While traditional PAM did not indicate the presence of technology, contemporary PAM indicates an adaptation to technology.

Instagram® has become one of the most widely used social networks by young people worldwide. Studies have shown that the excessive use of the internet can be harmful to the health of users, especially regarding your food choices. The main objective of this analysis was to evaluate the influence of Instagram® and digital content creators on the eating habits of Portuguese university students. Using an online questionnaire through the Google Forms platform, data from 137 participants, aged between 18 and 24 years, studying in Health Sciences and Sports (HSS) or other unrelated areas, was analyzed. It was found that 42.3% of the participants reported following food tips/advice from digital content creators, of whom 53.4% stated that they did not verify the scientific credibility of these recommendations. Moreover, 38% had already adopted diets advertised by these digital content creators, of whom 61.5% reported intending to lose weight. However, 65.6% of the sample reported not achieving the desired results. Finally, when purchasing a food product, 70.1% of the total sample reported taking into consideration the opinion of a nutritionist over that of a digital content creator. In conclusion, students in HSS areas were less influenced by social networks and digital content creators than other students.
