Valence word processing in preference vs. lexical decision tasks: Insights from muscle blocking procedures
Authors: Oliveira Gonçalo Aires , Domingos Ana , Garcia-Marques Teresa
Published: February 2025

Processing is oriented by goals that determine the details of the stimuli to be attended. Previous studies claim that the determination of word valence (neutral, positive, or negative) is prioritized at early processing stages. This effect of immediate processing of affective information is supported by behavioral and psychophysiological evidence. Here we address this primacy of affect hypothesis in word processing by performing different blocking procedures on the facial muscles relevant for processing the affective dimension of the stimuli on preference (Experiment 1) and lexical decision tasks (Experiment 2). The results show that not only evaluative judgments were disturbed by blocking procedures, but that the same result occurred when the affective information was irrelevant to the task. Evidence shows similar interference from blocking facial muscle activity on affective word processing in both experiments, with procedures that immobilize the zygomatic muscle having a greater impact on the processing of positive words. We discuss the informative role of demonstrating these effects as occurring regardless of the processing goal, highlighting different patterns associated with the various blocking procedures.
Integrity of Best-Answer Assignments in Large Enrollment Classes; the role of Compulsory Attribution
Authors: Schmitz Kurt , Storey Veda
Published: February 2025

Many instructional methods that focus on skill and competency development have a single or small set of appropriate answers. Best-answer assignments are popular among instructors of large enrollment classes due to the relative ease with which scoring, and feedback, can be managed at scale. However, cheating is regularly confirmed at disturbingly high levels, and commonly used content comparison tools are unsuited to identify original authors of best-answer assignments. This research presents a method to enforce compulsory attribution as a countermeasure to enhance the integrity of best-answer digital assignments. The method secures compulsory attribution of digital solutions using meta-data, access controls, and extensible code available in many common applications, including Microsoft Office. A unique feature that makes this method well-suited to large enrollment classes is the ability to secure and, when necessary, to delete stolen work, thereby precluding misappropriation. This method minimizes the bureaucratic burdens associated with academic dishonesty procedures. This study, grounded in Routine Activities Theory, describes a compulsory attribution method, called StartHere, that activates perceived guardianship in the form of interpersonal technical controls and social ties controls for offline digital assignments. A field experiment collects, analyzes, and reports empirical data in the form of qualitative student comments, quantitative survey data, and actual misappropriation events. The findings demonstrate efficacy of both guardianship pathways within large enrollment classes.
Leveraging Module Conditional Release to Support Evidence-Based Practices
Authors: Johnson Sarah
Published: February 2025

Large enrollment, asynchronous online courses pose many teaching and learning challenges. Instructors want to use evidence-based practices like building connections with students, providing personalized support, giving quick feedback on formative assessments, and encouraging student engagement and self-regulation within the course. Yet, large asynchronous online classrooms can make those important evidence-based practices difficult. This Quick-Hit provides a detailed overview of module conditional release, a learning management system tool that can support instructors in achieving these evidence-based practices in large online courses. The application of conditional release and supporting tools and strategies will be discussed alongside a description of how instructors can leverage this technological support to better connect with students, provide personalized support, produce feedback opportunities on formative assessment and encourage student engagement and self-regulation, all at scale.

Authors: Hansel Carrie A. , Ottenbreit-Leftwich Anne , Quick Joshua D. , Greene Anna Hungerfield , Ricci Maggie
Published: February 2025

This qualitative, multi-case study explores how instructors at one higher education institution used an emerging technology, Gradescope, in their large classes to support the assessment of student learning. The study examines the practices of two instructors who taught large lecture classes with more than 100 students and used Gradescope to assist with the assessment of student learning. Results indicate that using Gradescope helped the instructors overcome specific challenges associated with large lecture courses, such as grading a large volume of assignments, , providing timely feedback, and maintaining grading consistency across large numbers of students and graders. Course DFW rates decreased and average course grades increased during the semester where the instructors used Gradescope. Instructors reported increased grading efficiency and improved student satisfaction. However, the use of Gradescope is not entirely responsible for the positive impacts. Instructors also described adapting their teaching methods and assessment strategies to integrate Gradescope effectively.
Introduction
Authors: Burlingham Benjamin
Published: February 2025

Recent advances in the science of teaching and learning have opened the eyes of many instructors to course design, instructional practice, and assessment techniques intended to enhance and individualize student educational experience. Achieving these goals is difficult enough in a class of 20 students, but these challenges are only magnified in large-enrollment courses comprising anywhere between 100 students in a classroom to numerous sections of 500+. Instructors of large-enrollment classes share a common concern: How can one person provide engaging learning opportunities and assessments to meet the unique needs of each student when faced with a sea of faces in the classroom? Considering these overwhelming challenges, some instructors are asking, “Is the use of technology in the classroom the solution?”

Imperialism and White Settler Colonialism in Marxist Theory
Authors: Foster John Bellamy
Published: February 2025

Over the last quarter century—and especially since the beginning of Israel's latest genocidal incursion into Palestine in October 2023—the term "settler colonialism" has proliferated in academic and popular discourse. In February's "Review of the Month," John Bellamy Foster connects readers to thinkers from around the globe and across time to illustrate the phenomenon of settler colonialism as a dimension of imperialism, and thus capitalism, driven by a rapacious extractivism that threatens the whole of humanity.

Territorial branding as a vector of identity and a lever for tourist attractiveness: the case of Larache
Authors: Mouhib Houyam , El Aida Kaoutar , Lahiala Abdelfattah
Published: February 2025

Faced with increased competition between tourist destinations, territories are feeling more than ever the need to revolutionize their practices. Nowadays, we are witnessing a growing use of territorial brands, a relatively recent concept whose first initiatives date back to the 1970s. In Morocco, territorial branding is still in its early stages, with the first brand being created in 2011 as part of a strategy launched by the Moroccan National Tourist Office to reposition Morocco on the international tourist scene. This study focuses on the city of Larache to explore the relationship between territorial branding, identity, and tourist attractiveness. This relationship is notably highlighted in the literature through the works of V. Golain and B. Mayronin. We consider our field of study highly appropriate to closely observe the validity of this link. Indeed, the decline in tourism that Larache has experienced has piqued our curiosity, leading us to reflect on the role of brand communication in promoting territories and strengthening their identity. We hypothesize that Larache suffers from an identity blur impacting its image as a tourist destination, primarily due to the absence of a branding strategy capable of consolidating its identity. In this context, a mixed-method approach was adopted. We administered a questionnaire with the objective of studying Larache's image and notoriety to assess its perception among potential tourists. This survey was supported by an analysis of social representations, with the main goal of exploring the representations associated with Larache's identity among two target groups: residents and potential tourists. Our results support our initial hypothesis and reveal a significant gap between the two representations, reflecting the identity blur from which Larache suffers. Based on these results, we define the identity profile of the territory in question to address the diagnosed identity deficit. Our study holds great importance for practitioners as it encourages them to rethink their tourism promotion practices and become aware of the crucial role that territorial branding can play in the tourism development of regions.
The semantic nature of opera vocal performance interpretation: historical genesis and musical stylistic means
Authors: Guanjing Yu , Shijie He , Zhihuan Zhang , Yaqi Zhu , Yuchen Li
Published: February 2025

The article represents an attempt to comprehend opera semantics through opera plot and typology of personality, based on ancient themes. It is shown that the semantic nature of the vocal-performative interpretation reflects the main aesthetic guidelines of the opera genre and its mythopoetic origins, but it is most determined by the operatic understanding of the idea of a person and bringing the image of a person to the center of an opera composition ‑ as the highest value of the semantic world of culture and the artistic world of opera. It is proposed to consider interpretation as a unique performance system, which is a tool for performing music from different eras, as an interpretive model, that is defined as a vocal-interpretive model in relation to opera art.

Authors: Mutamakkinah Haniatul , Santoso Rukun , Tarno Tarno
Published: February 2025

Analysis data of time series is basically used for analysis data that makes the effect of observations on the previous period. The role of forecasting has explored various fields, including the field of meteorology which concerns weather forecasting. The ARIMA model is a forecasting model for analyzing single time series data and only look into the dependence of rainfall on past data without involving other variables. The transfer function has an output tier (yt) which is expected to be affected by the input tier (xt) or other inputs which called the noise tier (nt). The purpose of this research is to find out which method is most appropriate to use in forecasting rainfall in the region of Central Java. Forecasting results with the transfer function model will be compared with the rainfall ARIMA model in Central Java to find out which method is more preferable. The data used in the research are rainfall data and air temperature, in Central Java from January 2016 to December 2022. The results showed that the MAPE value with transfer function model is 38,21%, while the ARIMA model has an MAPE value of 43,23%. From the MAPE value we can conclude that transfer function method is the best forecasting model for rainfall forecasting rather than ARIMA, because the MAPE value is tinier.

Authors: Kovaříková Miroslava
Published: February 2025

Text pojednává o problematice začlenění bezpečnostní problematiky do Rámcových vzdělávacích programů v ČR v aktuálně probíhající revizi kurikula. Článek prezentuje data z kvantitativní výzkumné studie realizované v lednu 2023 metodou dotazníku. Výběr respondentů byl specifický, zařazeni byli učitelé základních a středních škol, kteří se výuce bezpečnostních témat aktivně věnují v praxi a jednou z jejich profesních aprobací je Výchova ke zdraví. Kritéria výběru splnilo 298 z celkového počtu 438 respondentů, kteří byli zařazeni do vyhodnocení. V textu je nastíněn vývoj kurikula bezpečnostních témat v historickém kontextu koncepčních změn v systému vzdělávání.
Cíle – Výzkumná studie si klade za cíl odhalit názory učitelů na probíhající kurikulární reformu v oblasti výuky bezpečnostních témat. Dalším cílem je zjistit vztah mezi hodnocením důležitosti výuky a náročnosti na přípravu učitelů na výuku a hodnocením vlastní kompetentnosti v dané oblasti.
Metody sběru dat – Pro potřeby výzkumné studie byl zvolen kvantitativní typ šetření. Použitou metodou sběru dat byl dotazník.
Metody analýzy dat – Byla provedena primární analýza jednotlivých otázek a následně i sekundární analýza výsledků. K vyhodnocení otázek byly použity statistické metody Mannův–Whitneyho U-test a Spearmanův korelační koeficient.
Výsledky a závěry – Ukázalo se, že učitelé hodnotí bezpečnostní témata jako důležitá pro připravenost žáků pro život a zařazení této problematiky do vzdělávací oblasti Člověk a zdraví, resp. Člověk, jeho zdraví a bezpečí, hodnotí jako správné rozhodnutí. Mezi 15 sledovanými tematickými okruhy existují rozdíly ve vnímání důležitosti témat. K nejméně důležitým tématům patří podle oslovených respondentů téma živelních pohrom ve světě a téma obrany státu. I tak ale zůstává jejich průměrné hodnocením důležitosti vysoké: 7,1 a 7,3 z 10 možných bodů. Je tedy zřejmé, že jsou učiteli považována za témata patřící do vzdělávání. Ukázalo se, že tato témata jsou také respondenty nejčastěji navrhována jako rozvíjející učivo. Dále bylo zjištěno, že hodnocení vlastní kompetentnosti výuky ve sledovaných tématech vzrůstá s délkou pedagogické praxe, s výjimkou tématu ochrana obyvatelstva. Téma obrany státu hodnotí respondenti jako jedno z obtížných na přípravu a uvádějí i nízké hodnocení kompetentnosti k výuce.

Published: February 2025

Objectives

Management of phenylketonuria (PKU) relies upon life-long monitoring of phenylalanine (Phe) in dried blood spots (DBS), thus comparability of measurements is important. The lack of harmonisation and standardisation between laboratories, combined with the variable quality of patient-collected DBS specimens, are currently preventing this from being achieved. A traceable, matrix-matched Phe certified reference material, common methodology and means to ensure patient collected DBS specimens are of consistent quality would improve comparability between laboratories.

Methods

Baseline inter-laboratory (n=15) variation of DBS Phe was determined by triplicate measurement of four DBS materials, on three days. Laboratories prepared and analysed these samples using their routine method of analysis. A sub-set of laboratories (n=5) repeated the process using a common sample preparation and instrument methodology (LC-MS/MS), and three different calibration approaches. Samples prepared on dried blood spot microsampling cards (DBS-MCs) from whole blood, value assigned for Phe concentration by National Measurement Laboratories (NML), were then analysed using the harmonised methodology.

Results

Inter-laboratory co-efficient of variation (CV) differed with calibration approach; internal calibration 27.7 %; in-house aqueous calibration 4.7 %; centrally distributed aqueous calibration, 2.1 %. Inter-laboratory CV was reduced from 8.7 to 2.1 % by using common sample preparation and LC-MS/MS methodology. No significant difference was observed between consensus and assigned values for Phe in the four materials (p>0.05).

Conclusions

This study demonstrates a simple approach to harmonising and standardising DBS Phe measurements, traceable to value assigned materials. Combined with the introduction of DBS-MCs to ensure specimen quality, clinical laboratories can achieve comparability of patient results over time.
Regional Space–time Differences and Dynamic Evolution Law of Real Estate Financial Risk in China
Authors: Xia Beibei
Published: February 2025

This study develops a framework to evaluate real estate financial risk from three perspectives: internal risk factors, external risk factors, and interconnected risk factors, examining regional space–time differences and dynamic evolution laws across 30 provinces in China. The research finds that (1) interconnected risk factors are key contributors to real estate financial risk. (2) Significant regional differences in real estate financial risks exist across China. The western and northeastern regions are hotspots for risk, while the eastern region exhibits the most pronounced market stratification and polarization. (3) There is significant spatial autocorrelation in China’s real estate financial risks, with most provinces showing high–high (HH) and low–low (LL) clustering. HH clusters are primarily located in the western and northeastern regions, while LL clusters are more prevalent in the central and eastern regions. (4) The distribution of real estate financial risks follows a single-peak evolutionary pattern, characterized by the dynamic transition of weakening LL clusters and strengthening HH clusters. (5) The dynamic evolution of China’s real estate financial risks exhibits strong “spatial stickiness” and “positive reinforcement.” Over time, the probability of regions transitioning to higher-risk types increases, demonstrating a trend toward escalating risk levels.

Objectives

Pediatric primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) etiologies beyond congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) show regional variations. Given limited data from India, this study aims to describe the etiological profile, phenotype, and genotype of pediatric PAI in an Indian cohort.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of patients with PAI onset before 20 years of age from 1998 to 2023 at a single center. After excluding patients with inadequate data (n=20), CAH (n=218), and bilateral adrenalectomy (n=19), we analyzed demographic, clinical, biochemical, and genetic data of the remaining patients.

Results

Among 54 patients (45 probands), the median age at presentation was 6 years (range 0.1–19). Common clinical features included hyperpigmentation (90.7 %), adrenal crisis (33.3 %), and seizures (29.6 %). Mineralocorticoid deficiency was present in two-third patients including one patient each with AAAS, MRAP, and NNT mutation. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) was the most common cause (40 %), followed by ACTH resistance states (20 %), early steroidogenic defects (13.3 %), congenital adrenal hypoplasia (11.1 %), autoimmune causes (8.9 %), and tuberculosis (4.5 %). Genetics diagnosed 14/15 patients without phenotypic clues and confirmed diagnoses in 21 tested of 30 with phenotypic pointers (alacrimia in AAAS, hypoparathyroidism/candidiasis in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome-1 and neurodeficit in ALD). Genetics differentiated CYP11A1 mutation from suspected ALD in two siblings with neurological deficits. We identified seven novel gene variants. We report the first case of NNT associated with 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. Adrenal tuberculosis was a unique cause of pediatric PAI.

Conclusions

This study reveals diverse non-CAH pediatric PAI etiologies in India, emphasizing genetic testing’s importance for precise diagnoses and suggests region-specific diagnostic algorithm.
Sociolinguistic research projects as brands
Authors: Wagner Suzanne Evans , Sneller Betsy , Rechsteiner Jack
Published: February 2025

Sociolinguistic projects can benefit from brand management practices to meet their research goals. This is especially (but not exclusively) relevant for projects involving longitudinal relationships between the researcher and the community. Scholars may be skeptical of branding, because it can evoke the idea of institutions spending money on corporate image rather than on research or teaching support. Yet by curating their project’s brand as an indexical field, sociolinguists can bring more intention to their project vision. This intentionality in turn helps to save time and energy by making all decisions easier, and by improving communication to project stakeholders. The paper offers an overview of relevant public sector brand theory and gives examples from four recent sociolinguistic projects: MI Diaries, Accent Bias in Britain, Manchester Voices, and Our Dialects.
Plant endophytic bacteria reduce phthalates accumulation in soil-crop-body system: a review
Authors: Huang Ziyi , Chen Yanli , Zou Jieying , Zhou Peng , Huang Xingyu , Zhuang Ruihao , Wang Xinyu , Liu Lihui
Published: February 2025

Phthalate esters (PAEs) represent a class of widely utilized plasticizers, resulting in their pervasive presence in soil and agricultural crops, which poses significant risks to human health. This review examines the current state of PAE pollution, the microbial resources available for PAE degradation, and the associated degradation pathways. It highlights the advantages of endophytic bacteria over environmental microorganisms, including the prolonged survival of inoculated strains, in vivo biodegradation of PAEs, and multifunctional capabilities. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which endophytic bacteria mitigate PAE accumulation across the three defense lines (soil, crops, and the human body) are elucidated. The integrated approach of employing both plants and microbial agents for the remediation of PAEs demonstrates considerable potential for ensuring the safety of agricultural products and safeguarding human health. This work offers new insights into addressing the challenges posed by organic pollutant contamination and reducing PAE accumulation in the human body.

Consensus document on the management of wound closure in orthopaedic surgery
Authors: Sanz-Ruiz Pablo , Caeiro-Rey José Ramón , Martínez-Pastor Juan Carlos , Martín-Alguacil José Luis , Murcia-Asensio Antonio , Moreta Jesús
Published: February 2025

Wounds in orthopaedic surgery differ from wounds in other surgical fields in various ways.

Tissues that are highly affected due to the trauma itself, the presence of an orthopaedic implant and the performance of prosthetic surgery in patients with many comorbidities make these wounds need special consideration.

Complications of the surgical wound in orthopaedic surgery are not unusual, being the main cause of medical care and readmission in the first 90 days.

There is no consensus on the best way to perform closure in orthopaedic surgery. The national ‘Adequate Wound Management in Orthopaedic Surgery’ survey has shown interindividual variability in wound closure and soft tissue management in orthopaedic surgery at the local level.

This consensus document, generated by a group of experts in soft tissue management in orthopaedic surgery, proposes recommendations based on evidence (using the GRADE methodology) to promote best practices in this field.

This document considers recommendations for surgical wound closure, dressing management and haemostasis. In addition, some of the 32 questions in the national survey, plus others relevant to the subject, were taken as a starting point for developing the contents.
¿Qué Hacemos con el Cuchillo? Las Finalidades de la Evaluación
Authors: Santos Guerra Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2025

La metáfora del cuchillo nos permite descubrir que lo más importante no es su tamaño o que esté más o menos afilado sino para qué se usa ya que con él se puede herir o matar, pelar patatas o partir sandía, tenerlo guardado en un cajón o liberar a un prisionero maniatado. Se analizan dos imágenes a través de las cuales se puede comprender fácilmente la naturaleza de la tesis que defiendo en el artículo: no hay nada más estúpido que lanzarse con la mayor eficacia en la dirección equivocada. A través de un ejercicio se muestra el contraste entre finalidades ideales y reales, ricas y pobres, valoradas y practicadas. En él se puede comprobar que las más valoradas teóricamente no son las más practicadas en los sistemas educativos de muchos países. Se plantean a continuación, cuatro categorías de finalidades, ordenadas de mayor a menor riqueza pedagógica, invitando a practicar las de mayor valor. Y se cierra con algunas sugerencias para que los docentes practiquen las funciones más enriquecedoras.

Published: February 2025

La evaluación de los aprendizajes en la Educación Superior es clave para mejorar la formación, al enfatizar los aspectos formativos de los procesos de evaluación. La investigación ha revelado que cuando la evaluación va acompañada de un feedback de calidad, tiene una influencia positiva en la autorregulación de los aprendizajes y en la satisfacción del estudiantado. Este estudio analiza la percepción estudiantil sobre las características del feedback ofrecido en una asignatura de los grados de educación de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Además, se pretende conocer qué relación existe entre las características de feedback percibidas en relación con la autorregulación del aprendizaje y la satisfacción con la asignatura. Para ello, se realizó un estudio basado en un diseño metodológico cuantitativo, mediante una encuesta a una muestra de 161 estudiantes. Con los datos recopilados se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial. Los resultados muestran una asociación significativa entre algunas características particulares del feedback, la autorregulación del aprendizaje y la satisfacción del estudiantado. Como implicaciones prácticas, se identifican aquellos aspectos clave del feedback percibido que deben tenerse en cuenta para favorecer la autorregulación del aprendizaje y mejorar la satisfacción del estudiantado con la asignatura.

Исследуется влияние дальних переносов континентального аэрозоля на загрязнение арктической атмосферы. На основе многолетних измерений характеристик аэрозоля в атмосфере Евразийского сектора Северного Ледовитого океана (СЛО) оценивается периодичность их синоптических вариаций. В периодограммах концентраций субмикронного аэрозоля и черного углерода ( Vf и еВС) проявились статистически значимые максимумы амплитудных функций в диапазоне от 3,5 до 18 сут. Более детально рассмотрены случаи аномально высоких концентраций еВС и Vf (5% данных), связанных с дальними переносами континентальных загрязнений. Показано, что средняя продолжительность «аномалий» еВС и Vf равна 1 сут, а максимальная - 112 ч. Временные интервалы между «аномалиями» составляют в среднем 6-16 сут, а максимальные - от 28 до 69 сут. Несмотря на малую продолжительность и редкость аномальных ситуаций, они увеличивают средние концентрации аэрозоля и еВС на 28-77%. Расчеты показали, что основной (79%) вклад в загрязнение атмосферы Карского и Баренцева морей принадлежит выносам антропогенных эмиссий, а в Восточном секторе СЛО - дымам лесных пожаров. Влияние продуктов сжигания попутного газа на предприятиях газонефтедобычи больше всего (до 51%) проявилось в атмосфере над научно-исследовательским стационаром «Ледовая база „Мыс Баранова“». Полученные результаты позволяют количественно оценить вклад различных типов аэрозольных загрязнений в природную среду Арктики.

The periodicity of synoptic-scale variations in aerosol characteristics in the atmosphere of Eurasian sector of the Arctic Ocean is analyzed on the basic of long-term measurements. Statistically significant maxima of amplitude functions in the range from 3.5 to 18 days were manifested in periodograms of the concentrations of submicron aerosol and black carbon ( Vf and еВС). Cases of anomalously high еВС and Vf (5% of data), associated with long-range transports of continental pollutants, were considered in more detail. It is shown that the average duration of “anomalies” in еВС and Vf is few days, and the maximal duration attains 112 hours. The time intervals between “anomalies” are, on the average, 6-16 days, and the maximal intervals are from 28 to 69 days. Despite the short duration and rare occurrence of anomalous situations, they increase the average concentrations of aerosol and black carbon by 28-77%. Calculations showed that the major (79%) contributors to air pollution over the Kara and Barents Seas are made by the outflows of anthropogenic pollutants; and in the eastern sector of the Arctic Ocean, the contribution of smokes from wildfires is maximal. The effect of the products of associated gas combustion at gas-oil plants was manifested most strongly (up to 51%) in the atmosphere of Cape Baranov.

Por otros agenciamientos posibles: resonancias entre el análisis institucional y la intervención urbana
Authors: Brito Lago Lucas , Lima Rios Feres Lucas
Published: February 2025

Introducción: Las discusiones sobre la idea de intervención urbana en el contexto artístico remiten a una forma de nombrar ciertas prácticas artísticas que se desarrollan en el contexto de la ciudad. Objetivo: En este artículo, se pretende reflexionar sobre experimentos en el contexto de la curaduría y la práctica de intervenciones urbanas a través de la resonancia de estas prácticas con conceptos desde un campo de coherencia del análisis institucional. Métodos: Para esto, hacemos uso de tres conceptos operativos desde el campo del análisis institucional (intervención, transversalidad y agenciamiento) para cruzarlos con las experiencias curatoriales del Conquista Ruas, un festival de artes performativas en la ciudad, y de una intervención urbana, Praia do Suiço, realizada por nosotros en el contexto de este festival. Resultados: Desde esta intersección, es posible reconocer, perfilar y debatir ciertas operaciones que van desde los modos de organización colectiva del festival hasta el agenciamiento colectivo de las cuestiones urbanas, a partir de la intervención. Conclusiones: En vista de esto, encontramos que el acercamiento entre estos campos puede ser fértil para el reconocimiento de dimensiones procedimentales y múltiples que resuenan entre las prácticas artísticas, la ciudad y otras posibilidades de agenciamientos colectivos.
Aproximación a la dramaturgia coreográfica de la danza escénica
Authors: Gómez de la Hoz Iker
Published: February 2025

Introducción: Este artículo examina la dramaturgia en la danza escénica, un término cuyo significado suele diluirse entre la composición coreográfica y la dirección escénica. Objetivo: Específicamente, se pretende contextualizar la terminología de la dramaturgia coreográfica en la danza escénica para la precisión de su función. Métodos: La investigación se fundamenta en un análisis crítico mediante revisión bibliográfica sobre dramaturgia, contrastado con la observación de obras de los distintos territorios de la danza. Resultados: La dramaturgia coreográfica se presenta como entidad funcional que articula significados en la escritura coreográfica, facilita la intención artística y considera la atención del espectador. Se sustentan dos enfoques para su estudio: los postulados de la ciencia de la complejidad y la propuesta de bases complementarias a los métodos de análisis coreográficos existentes. Conclusiones: La dramaturgia coreográfica se concibe como un proceso flexible que permite la interacción simbólica y poética, de modo que enriquece el análisis y la creación de estructuras significativas en la danza.

Figuras intermediales entre el teatro y el cine. La transposición a la pantalla de La casa vieja de Abelardo Estorino
Authors: Moreno del Cristo Aluned
Published: February 2025

Introducción: Las adaptaciones cinematográficas realizadas a partir de piezas teatrales han devenido un ámbito propicio para examinar las relaciones intermediales y transdisciplinarias entre ambas prácticas artísticas. Objetivo: Se propone analizar las relaciones intermediales que pueden hallarse entre La casa vieja, obra teatral del cubano Abelardo Estorino, y Casa vieja, su versión fílmica, de Lester Hamlet, con el fin de indagar en la productividad del diálogo que se produce entre teatro y cine. Métodos: Hemos desarrollado un análisis comparativo entre algunos elementos relevantes de ambas obras, que permiten establecer conexiones y hallar diferencias entre los dos medios artísticos examinados. Resultados: En sentido general, es posible afirmar que en la película Casa vieja se realiza una transposición de la obra teatral mediante la cual se reescribe la pieza de Estorino, confiriéndole nuevos significados. Conclusiones: En Casa vieja es posible detectar la presencia de diferentes procedimientos y figuras intermediales que permiten apreciar la revalorización que hace el filme de la pieza teatral, así como la productividad de actualizarla y transponerla a un nuevo contexto y medio distinto. Las marcas de teatralidad dentro de la película hacen posible, asimismo, reflexionar acerca de los profundos conflictos y problemáticas sociales planteados a través de su argumento.

Exploración histórica: acceso de las mujeres a la universidad y emergencia de los estudios de género
Authors: Maldonado Tovilla Katya
Published: February 2025

Desde su origen en la Edad Media hasta principios del siglo XX, las universidades han sido bastiones predominantemente masculinos. Sin embargo, conforme avanzaba el siglo XX, las mujeres no solo comenzaron a ganar acceso a estas instituciones; al mismo tiempo, impulsadas por el auge del movimiento feminista durante las décadas de los sesenta y setenta, también empezaron a desafiar activamente tanto el currículo universitario como el conocimiento científico. Este cuestionamiento catalizó la emergencia de los estudios sobre las mujeres y, con el tiempo, de los estudios de género. Estos campos de conocimiento se enfocaron en confrontar la ideología sexista y el orden de género dominante en la sociedad. El presente ensayo indaga sobre la relación entre el acceso de las mujeres a la educación formal y el avance del movimiento feminista en el ámbito académico. El objetivo es proporcionar una primera exploración histórica de la presencia femenina en las universidades y su vínculo con los orígenes de los estudios de género.
Estrategias didácticas interactivas en el nivel de profesionalización de la música. Una experiencia desde la clase de Armonía
Authors: Hudson Vizcaíno Belkis
Published: February 2025

En este artículo, se explora el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Armonía en el ámbito de la enseñanza profesional de la música en Cuenca, Ecuador. Se examinan los procesos formativos de esta disciplina, resaltando la importancia de fomentar una metodología más dinámica y de mayor interrelación con otras disciplinas teórico-prácticas en este nivel, fundamentándose en el pensamiento complejo. La investigación adopta un enfoque cualitativo y es aplicada. Se implementa mediante una guía estructurada de observación en la clase de Armonía II de estudiantes de la Licenciatura de Artes Musicales de la Universidad de Cuenca. Los resultados evidencian una postura pasiva ante el aprendizaje y una insuficiente capacidad para establecer interrelaciones con los contenidos de otras disciplinas teóricas e históricas de la música. Se propone la conjugación del proyecto integrador y del aprendizaje basado en problemas como estrategias didácticas interactivas en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la armonía funcional, con una metodología más centrada en la práctica musical y con una visión integradora. De esta manera, se busca contribuir a un aprendizaje significativo, orientado en la formación de estudiantes con un pensamiento relacional, contextualizado e innovador, aspectos fundamentales para su desempeño profesional.
