Parágrafo Primeiro
Como o Filósofo diz no livro primeiro da Física; opinamos conhecer cada coisa quando conhecemos as causas primeiras, e os princípios primeiros até os elementos.  A partir do que o Filósofo mostra manifestamente que nas ciências há um processo ordenado, conforme se procede a partir das causas primeiras e dos princípios até as causas próximas, que são os elementos constituintes da essência da coisa. E isto é razoável: de fato o processo das ciências é obra da razão, da qual é próprio ordenar; donde em toda obra da razão se descobre alguma ordem segundo a qual se procede de um a outro. E isso é patente tanto na razão prática, cuja consideração é acerca daquilo que nós fazemos quanto na razão especulativa cuja consideração é acerca daquilo que é feito por outros.

O Filósofo e a Religião ou “entre Jerusalém e Atenas”: Leo Strauss e o Problema Teológico-Político
Authors: Mendes Elvis de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

Resumo: O tema da religião possui lugar central no pensamento de Leo Strauss, de fato, um dos aspectos mais importantes de sua crítica da modernidade passa pela forma que a religião é tratada pelos “filósofos das luzes”. Nesse estudo, apresento o caráter cético da crítica straussiana em relação à pretensão racionalista de substituir a fé religiosa pelo primado da razão teórica.  Com isso, pretendo mostrar que para Strauss, é a manutenção da tensão entre fé e razão ou “o conflito entre Jerusalém e Atenas”, que torna possível a existência de modos de vida diferentes, como resultado de disposições distintas do espírito humano, o que revela o caráter profundamente fideísta de sua crítica.

The Philosopher and Religion or “Between Jerusalem and Athens”: Leo Strauss and the Theological-Political Problem
Abstract: The theme of religion has a central place in the thought of Leo Strauss, in fact, one of the most important aspects of his critique of modernity is the way in which religion is treated by the “philosophers of the Enlightenment”. In this paper, I present the skeptical character of the Straussian critique in relation to the rationalist intention of substituting religious faith for the primacy of theoretical reason. With this, I intend to show that for Strauss, it is the maintenance of the tension between faith and reason or “the conflict between Jerusalem and Athens”, which makes possible the existence of different ways of life, as a result of different dispositions of the human spirit, which reveals the profoundly fideistic character of his criticism.

O argumento da Lei Natural na Teoria Política de Leo Strauss
Authors: Souza Ronaldo Tadeu
Published: November 2024

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo reconstruir as alegações de Leo Strauss sobre a lei natural. Mesmo entendendo as complexidades da teoria política desse judeu-alemão radicado nos Estados Unidos concernente às fontes filosóficas (Platão, Tucídides, Maimônides) de suas reflexões, os autores (Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schmitt) que orientaram sua formação e o contexto histórico (República de Weimar e Estados Unidos) em que viveu, considero que o núcleo substantivo-imanente, bem como as implicações políticas que daí decorrem na modernidade, das concepções straussianas estão no modo em que se defende a legitimidade (imposta) da lei natural.

The Natural Law Argument in Leo Strauss's Political Theory
Abstract: This article aims to reconstruct Leo Strauss' claims about natural law. Even understanding the complexities of the political theory of this German Jew living in the United States concerning the philosophical sources (Plato, Thucydides, Maimonides) of his reflections, the authors (Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schmitt) who guided his formation and the historical context (Republic of Weimar and United States) in which he lived, I consider that the substantive-immanent core, as well as the political implications that derive from it in modernity, of Straussian conceptions are in the way in which the (imposed) legitimacy of the natural law is defended.

The effect of thermal and non-thermal treatments on shelf-life of ready to drink whey-based functional beverages
Authors: Bhatia R , Chauhan K , Taneja N , Kumar V , Singh G , Kaur K
Published: November 2024

Whey protein-based beverages are popular because of their many health benefits, high protein, pleasant flavor and vibrant hue. The hue of protein beverages is the most reliable barometer of how various quality characteristics will influence buyers' decisions. Protein beverages are typically processed using conventional thermal treatment, which diminishes their nutritional content and alters their appearance. Controlling the protein beverage quality and approximating the nutritional change can be achieved by examining microbial load during storage. This study analyzed the total microbial load such as coliform, yeast and molds of protein beverages, along with the impacts of various thermal (microwave, retort-pasteurization) and nonthermal (ultrasonication) treatments. The microbiological evaluation of the protein beverage was carried out at regular intervals (weekly) during the storage period under refrigeration and room temperature. In results, the protein beverage remained good in terms of overall acceptability and maintained the quality up to 90 days and 65 days after thermosonication treatment and was stored at refrigerated temperature (4 °C) followed by room temperature (28 °C) respectively. Hence, this study focuses on maximizing the shelf-life efficiency and maintaining protein beverage quality by using thermal and non-thermal procedures in tandem.

Lack of adipocyte FAM20C improves whole body glucose homeostasis
Authors: Deng Liping , Huang Yanshan , Zhao Feifei , Chen Puxin , Huang Xiaohong
Published: November 2024

FAM20C, a member of the family with sequence similarity 20, is involved in many physiological functions. Obesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, has attracted more and more attention as a worldwide health problem. Here we generated adipocyte‐specific FAM20C knockout mice to investigate the role of FAM20C in adipose tissue expansion and obesity. Our results demonstrate that knockout mice are protected against high fat diet‐induced obesity, adiposity, and fatty liver disease. Additionally, knockout mice exhibited improved metabolic phenotypes, including enhanced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity compared with control mice. Furthermore, we observed reduced inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in the adipose tissues of knockout mice. Taken together, our results indicate that targeting FAM20C in adipocytes may be a promising strategy for the treatment of obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
Aristotle on Materiate Paronymy: Concerning an Apparent Inconsistency in Aristotle’s Metaphysics
Authors: Hobbs Landon
Published: November 2024

Aristotle offers apparently inconsistent explanations for paronymous expressions derived from matter: on the received picture, derived from Metaphysics Θ.7, such expressions are used in all and only cases of substantial change, because predicating the matter directly of a substance would be false; on the error picture, derived from Metaphysics Z.7, the same expressions are used in all and only cases of change from an unclear and nameless privation, because ordinary language users conflate such privations with matter. I propose a resolution: the received picture explains why the usage is fitting, but the error picture explains how the usage originated.
Geschlecht und digitale Transformation in Organisationen
Authors: Gerdenitsch Cornelia , Bergmann Nadja , Schneider Anke , Gaitsch Myriam , Schöggl Astrid
Published: November 2024

Die Einführung digitaler Technologien in Organisationen verändert Arbeitspraktiken und bietet das Potenzial, geschlechtsspezifische Machtstrukturen zu verändern. Allerdings werden in der betrieblichen Praxis durch die männlich dominierte Technologieentwicklung geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheiten häufig eher reproduziert als abgebaut. Um das transformative Potenzial zu nutzen, ist eine aktive Gestaltung digitaler Veränderungsprozesse entscheidend, unter möglichst umfassender Einbindung unterschiedlicher Beschäftigtengruppen. Partizipative Ansätze können dabei die Einbindung unterrepräsentierter Gruppen ermöglichen. Dieser Artikel präsentiert zwei Fallstudien, in welchen partizipative Ansätze erprobt wurden. Organisation A konnte durch die Digitalisierung eines Arbeitsprozesses die Produktivität zwar erheblich steigern, in einem partizipativen Workshop wurden aber die Herausforderungen für die Beschäftigten sichtbar. Machtverschiebungen zugunsten traditionell als männlich konnotierter Arbeitsbereiche und der Verlust informellen Wissens weiblicher Beschäftigter wurden sichtbar. In Organisation B wurde eine digitale Kollaborationsplattform eingeführt, die allerdings wenig genutzt wurde. Im Rahmen eines Workshops mit administrativem Personal wurde erst das Potenzial und der Wunsch nach Beteiligung dieser Gruppe bei der Einführung neuer Technologien deutlich. Auf Basis dieser beiden Fallstudien reflektieren wir die geschlechtsbezogenen partizipativen Zugänge und die angewandten Forschungspraktiken. Darauf aufbauend formulieren wir praktische Empfehlungen zur Nutzung partizipativer Methoden in einem digitalen Transformationsprozess unter Berücksichtigung geschlechtsspezifischer Aspekte.
Morphological and molecular evidence reveals three new species of Gelidium (Gelidiaceae, Rhodophyta) for the southern Mexican Tropical Pacific
Authors: Quiroz-González Nataly , Acosta-Calderón Julio A. , Ponce-Márquez Ma. Edith , Mateo-Cid Luz Elena , Rodríguez Dení
Published: November 2024

The genus Gelidium is a representative element of the Mexican Tropical Pacific. The recent use of molecular tools has allowed us to resolve the taxonomic problems of some species and to increase the knowledge regarding this group of red algae in the region. The present study aimed to evaluate specimens collected in the southern Mexican Tropical Pacific using molecular markers and morphological characters. Samples were collected from four locations along the coast of Oaxaca state. They were characterised morphologically and molecularly using rbcL and COI–5P. Phylogenetic analysis classified the examined specimens into three independent clades, representing taxonomic entities different from what has been described previously for the genus. With the support of morphological data and genetic distances, we propose three new species for the Mexican Tropical Pacific: Gelidium dawsonii sp. nov., Gelidium longisporophyllum sp. nov., and Gelidium rubruparvum sp. nov. Some of the distinct characteristics of these species are based on little size of G. rubruparvum, the branching pattern of G. longisporophyllum and G. dawsonii, the number of layers of medullary cells in G. dawsonii and G. rubruparvum, and the tetrasporangial sorus in G. longisporophyllum. We also highlight the relationship between Asian and Mexican species and the value of using different tools in the evaluation of the taxonomic status of the genus Gelidium.
The genitive alternation in German
Authors: Kopf Kristin , Bildhauer Felix
Published: November 2024

The genitive case in German is predominantly used to form noun modifiers (die Sehenswürdigkeiten[Hamburgs] ‘the sights of Hamburg’). Such genitive modifiers occur in a variety of different registers in German, and they have been claimed to be especially characteristic of non-proximal, written language. In many instances, they are interchangeable with diachronically younger prepositional phrases headed byvon, with no noticeable impact on interpretation, thus giving rise to a genuine syntactic alternation phenomenon. There is an ongoing debate in the literature as to the distribution and function of these constructions. Based on corpus data from newspapers and internet discussion forums (approximately 15,000 noun phrases), we discuss semantic and syntactic conditions that limit the scope of this alternation. We then use a mixed-effects logistic regression model to examine a number of intra- and extralinguistic factors that bear on the choice of one construction over the other. We find thatvon-modifiers are used much less frequently than genitive modifiers overall, but there are grammatical niches in which they seem to thrive and, perhaps, even spread.
Interpreter-Mediated Diplomatic Discourse Represented and Reframed in Global News: A Case Study of China’s Statement at the General Debate of the 75th Session of United Nations General Assembly
Authors: Liang Ziyin , Li Xin
Published: November 2024

In 2020, against the backdrop of the pandemic, climate change and the increasingly tense global situation, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the General Debate of the 75th Session of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which attracted extensive media coverage. This research employs corpus-based critical discourse analysis to explore how the Chinese original discourse was mediated by the interpreter and how the interpreter-mediated discourse was further represented and reframed by global news. The lenses of optional shifts and reframing are adopted respectively for intertextual analysis. Results indicate that the interpreter mediates the Statement through explicitation of information, reduction of information, explicitation of logic, and change of voice. Furthermore, the interpreted text and optional shifts within the text are generally well received by global news outlets. However, due to news outlets’ highly selective quotation process and the use of temporal and spatial framing and labelling strategies, the interpreted text may be reframed to construct narratives unexpected by China. This study sheds light on the dynamic process of international communication of diplomatic discourse, during which both the interpreter and global media outlets play crucial roles apart from the source speaker.
“Memory of stones”
Authors: Piotrowski Robert , Wróblewska Violetta
Published: November 2024

This article attempts to interpret folk narratives featuring the motif of producing millstones from erratic boulders and their subsequent reuse in new functional contexts. According to our assumptions, in folk narratives originating from the northern regions of Germany and Poland, where these motifs are present, one can find references to the methods of obtaining stone materials characteristic of these areas. These narratives also include information about the occurrence of erratic boulders – consistent with the geomorphology of regions affected by the last glaciation, and residual information regarding the distribution of millstones as well as semi-finished products. Thus, folk narratives can often serve as an interesting point of reference not only for ethnologists and folklorists but also for geologists and geographers.

“Ti Tiin Itiin”: An Introduction to the Performance Esthetics of the Konkomba Folktale
Authors: Tidorchibe E. Tasun
Published: November 2024

At the sound of the expression, “Ti tiin itiin” (translated as ‘Let us tell stories’), every Konkomba who is familiar with Konkomba storytelling knows that it is time for some traditional entertainment, education, and free psychotherapy, among other things, via oral storytelling. Although storytelling and its benefits have been widely explored, the Konkomba storytelling culture remains largely unexplored. This paper seeks to fill this gap by exploring the oral performance esthetics associated with the art of storytelling among the Konkomba people of Ghana. The paper discusses the key performance structures or elements of the Konkomba folktale, gestures to the culture-specificity of some of these structures, and argues that though oral and seemingly arbitrary, indigenous oral performances such as Konkomba storytelling are well-structured oral verbal arts. The paper further notes that community – and for that matter the audience at a storytelling session – plays an integral part in the composition and performance processes in traditional theaters such as Konkomba storytelling sessions.
But They Still Lived Happily Ever After – or at Least, Happily
Authors: Anjirbag Michelle Anya
Published: November 2024

This paper examines three films that mark Disney’s foray into postmodern fairy-tale narratives to determine if these attempts to move beyond or complicate Disney princess or fairy-tale narratives are successful. Drawing from fairy-tale studies and age studies, it particularly examines how gendered narratives and stereotypes operate within these narrative spaces, looking at the figures of the princess, the godmother, and the stepmother in Enchanted (2007), Godmothered (2020), and Disenchanted (2022). Through this study I aim to discover if Disney’s contemporary postmodern fairy-tale narratives open up more potential for women in various roles as they age, or if they reiterate various age-related gender stereotypes.

Advancements in ascorbic acid quantification: from macroscopic analysis to miniaturized nano-sensing for quality control in food and beverage
Authors: Lee Yue Zhen , Ngan Cheng Loong , Low Siew Chun
Published: November 2024

Ascorbic acid (AA) or vitamin C, is vital in food safety, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. This review discusses recent advancements in biosensors for AA detection. Traditional macro-analysis techniques such as high-performance liquids chromatography (HPLC), and flow injection analysis (FIA) provide accurate measurements but are costly and require specialized handling. Miniaturized nano-sensors are emerging as promising alternatives, offering advantages such as portability, cost effectiveness, and rapid response. This review explores the working principles of these nano-sensors, highlighting colorimetric, fluorometric and electrochemical detection methods. It also outlines the current AA biosensing landscape, detailing strategies to improve selectivity and specificity, including the choice of biorecognition elements and material selection for detection probe synthesis. Emerging nanomaterials and their applicability to support sensing activity are explored. This review serves as a valuable resource, suggesting future research directions to address existing challenges and further advance biosensor technology.
Outcomes of newborns screened for congenital hypothyroidism in Turkey – a single center experience
Authors: Esen Ihsan , Eraslan Nilgun , Okdemir Deniz
Published: November 2024

Objectives

It was aimed to investigate the outcomes of babies referred to a tertiary health center in Turkey for evaluation primary congenital hypothyroidism (CH) through newborn screening.

Methods

The hospital files of 328 newborns who were referred for CH from newborn screening between June 2013 and June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The newborns were evaluated with their clinical characteristics at admission, as well as their follow-up data and final diagnoses.

Results

Sixteen (4.9 %) newborns were diagnosed with transient neonatal hyperthyrotropinemia after follow-up. Treatment was initiated in 166 (50.6 %) of the cases with a diagnosis of CH. The median age at initiation of treatment was 17 days (5–69). Treatment was initiated in 88.3 % of the cases in the first month of the life. After at least 3 years of follow-up, 30/120 (20.0 %) of the cases were diagnosed with permanent CH and 11/30 (36.7 %) of them were diagnosed with thyroid dysgenesis. All of the cases who used >37.5 µg per day levothyroxine at the age of 1 or 2 years were diagnosed with permanent CH during their follow-up. For the prediction of transient CH, the sensitivity and specificity of levothyroxine doses of ≤25 µg per day at 1 year of age were calculated as 96.2 and 46.2 %, and for 2 years of age, the sensitivity and specificity were calculated as 97.8 and 65.2 %.

Conclusions

In this cohort, 10 % of all referrals result in permanent CH. Thyroid imaging with ultrasonography and levothyroxine dose during follow-up can be guiding in predicting permanent CH.
Decolonizing the Library: Considering the Movement in the Irish Colonial Contexts
Authors: Cooke-Escapil Louise
Published: November 2024

Decolonization is a concept which has been rapidly gaining traction in the library community, particularly in England, the United States, and Australia. This article addresses the question: “what does decolonizing the library look like in the Irish colonial contexts?” The role which libraries play in reckoning with colonial pasts cannot be understated. This paper will explore what decolonization can look like through Irish libraries both north and south of the border. This will be examined through Irish language revitalization, the presence of oral histories in library collections, and how libraries respond to underserved communities. This study also establishes areas for further research in this nascent field as well as outlining practical steps to implement the concept of decolonizing the library in the Irish contexts. Drawing on qualitative data pulled from interviews this paper will offer the latest information on the Irish library landscape and its relation to the broader decolonization movement. This paper aims to demonstrate the value of using the decolonization framework to address the colonial past which has impacted the way in which the information services function in modern day Ireland and pave the way towards an inclusive and equitable future.

Scholastics and medical faculties universities of medieval Europe
Authors:   Ukrainian Academy of the History of Medicine, Oparin O.A. ,   Ukrainian Humanitarian Institute
Published: November 2024

The work shows that the system of the scholastic principle of teaching was developed and introduced into the system of teaching at medieval universities by the state church in order to approve its dogmas and teachings. It has been proven that the system of scholasticism, based on the deductive method, proclaimed the need to prove the concepts and ideas already approved by the church, without thereby implying any scientific research in principle. It is shown that scholasticism introduced mystical and occult ideas into university teaching, which displaced the already very modest medieval scientific developments. The system of scholastic teaching led to a ban on anatomic-physiological research and clinical observations, the absence of practical and experimental classes, the destruction of the concept of clinical thinking and scientific-practical discussions, and the formation of a template approach to the treatment of patients in medieval medical faculties.

Analysis of the problem of development of psychological competence in future specialists in physical rehabilitation in the context of modern psychological research
Authors:   Ivan Zyazyun Institute of Pedagogical and Adult Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine, Baltyan V.O.
Published: November 2024

Psychological competence is critically important for professionals in the field of physical rehabilitation, as it contributes to the emotional and psychological well-being of patients throughout the rehabilitation process. Currently, there are no systematic studies on the development of psychological competence among physical rehabilitation specialists, although such studies could be useful in enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions. Examining the psychological readiness of physical rehabilitation professionals can help improve relationships with patients, increase patient motivation and commitment to the therapeutic process, and enhance treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the development of psychological competence among future physical rehabilitation specialists in the context of contemporary psychological research and to identify factors influencing its development. The object of the study is the process of forming psychological competence in future physical rehabilitation specialists, while the subject is the contemporary psychological aspects of this process. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the current state of psychological competence development in future specialists is conducted, along with the identification of key aspects and training strategies that contribute to its formation. Understanding the psychological readiness of physical rehabilitation professionals can significantly improve the quality of patient care and enhance treatment effectiveness.
The teaching of Jesus Christ regarding spiritual and physical «uncleanness» of a person
Authors:   Ukrainian Institute of Arts and Sciences, Korchuck V.I. , Zavadiuk V.E. ,   Ukrainian Institute of Arts and Sciences
Published: November 2024

This research analyses the content, components and essence of one of the topics that causes a lot of debate in the Christian world. The topic of the place of the Law of God and the sanitary law given through Moses in the context of eating clean and unclean animals has generated much discussion and even controversy. The words of Jesus in Mark 7:14-23 seem to confirm that there is no need to observe the commandments concerning clean and unclean food, since all the commandments of the Old Testament were cancelled on the cross. What this biblical passage actually means is the main task of biblical exegesis and critical analysis of this passage. As a result of the analysis of literary sources, it was found that the interpretations of this text vary and are not unanimous. Given the fact that opinions on these texts differ and have different connotations, there is a need for careful research in order to understand with certainty what Jesus Christ meant by these words. It was found that the context of Mark 7:14-23 and the cross-referenced Bible passages indicate that Jesus’ words do not refer to the doctrine of clean and unclean food, but to the traditions of hand and utensil washing held by the Pharisees and scribes. A cultural and historical analysis of this passage shows that the commandment about clean and unclean food was given by God in the desert to remind the Israelites of the division of animals into certain categories, and that they should not adapt to the lives of other peoples who sacrificed such animals or considered them sacred. Later on, Jewish traditions distorted this teaching, which Jesus Christ pointed out to the Pharisees and scribes when they tried to reproach Him for not observing the doctrine of washed hands. After conducting a linguistic analysis, we found that the words of Jesus Christ in Mark 7:14-23 refer exclusively to the fact that the Jews considered food unclean because of unwashed hands and thus lost the true meaning of God’s commandment. In summary, we can note that the problem Jesus Christ highlights is the observance of small regulations that are not even taught in the Bible and because of which the Jewish teachers did not see the essence of God’s commandments: love of God and love of neighbor. That is why the Lord says that it is not the fact that a person is unclean, defiled, or lacking in holiness that makes him unclean, but rather that he does evil deeds that come from his heart. The study also revealed that Mark 7:14-23 does not refer to Christ’s abolition of the laws that regulated the eating of meat from «clean and unclean» animals. Such a position is neither reasonable nor biblically proven. Moreover, the laws of diet are much older than any other laws concerning the physical well-being of man (Genesis 7:2, 3).

Introduction and objective: Immunoglobulin A vasculitis is an autoimmune disorder resulting from immune complex accumulation in small blood vessels, causing skin, joint, abdominal, and kidney manifestations. This study evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence and clinical course of immunoglobulin A vasculitis in paediatric patients. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records from a single university paediatric hospital was performed to compare 117 patients presenting with immunoglobulin A vasculitis before and 57 after the COVID-19 epidemic announcement in Poland on 20 March 2020. Laboratory results, hospitalisation duration, preceding infections, clinical presentation, history of allergies and COVID-19 vaccinations, and the proportion of immunoglobulin A vasculitis patients among all admissions were analysed. Results: The study of 174 patients showed that their average age during the pandemic (5.51 ± 3.10) was significantly lower than pre-pandemically (6.98 ± 3.67) (p < 0.05). Before the pandemic, more hospitalised patients had immunoglobulin A vasculitis (1.14%) compared to during the pandemic (0.47%) (p < 0.05). Food allergies were also more common during the pandemic (20.8%) than before (8.8%) (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in hospitalisation duration, and the incidence of immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis and abdominal symptoms (p = 0.194, p = 0.381, p = 0.968, respectively). Three patients had COVID-19 infection at admission. Conclusions: The pandemic led to fewer immunoglobulin A vasculitis hospitalisations but did not alter the clinical course of the disease or the incidence of immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis. In the context of the resurgence of COVID-19 infections, it is important to consider them as potential factors affecting immunoglobulin A vasculitis. Ongoing research is essential to understand these dynamics and guide effective clinical management of immunoglobulin A vasculitis amidst the evolving COVID-19 setting.

Esse estudo teve como objetivo investigar o uso das ferramentas tecnológicas como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem por professores de cursos técnicos profissionalizantes na área da saúde de escolas particulares na Cidade de São Paulo e Santo André - SP. Considerando os objetivos pretendidos, foi realizado um estudo exploratório e descritivo, com levantamento de dados, através de um questionário eletrônico semiestruturado criado pela ferramenta gratuita online Google Forms. De alguma forma, mesmo que discretamente, os professores estão usando as TDICs durante suas aulas, mas as estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem mediadas pelas tecnologias ainda têm sido pouco exploradas e a inserção das tecnologias por si só sem o preparo dos docentes não gera as transformações necessárias. Mais estudos precisam ser feitos para compreensão do cenário da educação profissionalizante, uma vez que os docentes demonstram certa fragilidade metodológica e essas precisam estar alinhadas com o uso das tecnologias de forma intencional e significativa.
Discurso desarrollista del turismo y la transformación del territorio turístico
Authors: Muñoz Arroyave Elkin
Published: November 2024

El turismo es un fenómeno que en el contexto de la globalización ha tendido a masificarse. Esto se debe a la creciente movilidad humana que caracteriza a la sociedad global actual, pero principalmente a su actuación como una actividad económica que, por un lado, genera ingresos a los territorios y, por el otro, genera una derrama económica sobre otros sectores y dinamiza el mercado laboral local. O por lo menos eso se promulga en el discurso desarrollista que se ha construido alrededor de este fenómeno. Son numerosos los estudios que muestran que esos beneficios económicos del turismo no suelen ser tan significativos. En este sentido, el artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar teóricamente sobre el turismo, el territorio, la globalización y el desarrollo, ya que es desde la relación de estos cuatro conceptos que se puede cuestionar ese discurso desarrollista del turismo. Metodológicamente se parte de una revisión de literatura y el análisis teórico por parte del autor, partiendo de una posición crítica frente al turismo y su relación con el desarrollo y los territorios. Se concluye que esa relación positiva que plantean los discursos gubernamentales y de actores económicos entre turismo y desarrollo, se debe matizar y refutar a través del abordaje territorial del turismo y la reconceptualización del desarrollo. Siendo estos dos aspectos los que le dan originalidad e importancia a este artículo, ya que se hace un aporte teórico sobre la relación entre desarrollo, territorio y turismo. Desde el territorio, porque éste es transformado por el turismo y no en todas las ocasiones genera unas mejores condiciones de vida de la población residente. Lo mismo sucede con el discurso desarrollista que en realidad se centra es en un crecimiento económico y no en la vida de las personas locales.

Aim. To study the involvement of APOC1 rs445925 and rs4420638 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the development of occlusive peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of lower extremities.

Material and methods. The study included 1278 people, including 630 patients with occlusive PAD and 648 relatively healthy individuals. Genotyping of APOC1 rs445925 and rs4420638 SNPs was performed using the MassARRAY-4 genomic mass spectrometer. The analysis of the association of alleles, genotypes, haplotypes and diplotypes with the risk of occlusive PAD was performed using the statistical programs SNPStats, PLINK, v1.9 and STATISTICA 13.3. The adaptive permutation test was used to assess statistical significance of associations (Pperm).

Results. The rs445925-A (Pperm=1,0×10-6) and rs4420638-G (Pperm=0,006) alleles, as well as the rs445925-G/A-A/A (Pperm=1,0×10-6) and rs4420638-A/G-G/G (Pperm=0,006) genotypes were associated with an increased risk of occlusive PAD. The rs445925 polymorphism was also associated with the blood cholesterol level in patients with occlusive PAD (Pperm=0,04). The rs445925A-rs4420638A and rs445925A-rs4420638G haplotypes, as well as three APOC1 diplotypes, showed a pronounced relationship with a predisposition to occlusive PAD. In particular, the rs445925G/A×rs4420638A/A (odds ratio (OR) 6,59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 4,20-10,35, P=2,4×10-19) and rs445925G/A×rs4420638A/G (OR 4,24, 95% CI 2,23-8,03, P=2,0×10-6) diplotypes were associated with an increased risk of occlusive PAD. The rs445925G/G×rs4420638A/A diplotype had a protective effect on the disease development (OR 0,26, 95% CI 0,20-0,35, P=1,3×10-20). Associations of haplotypes with the severity of peripheral arterial stenosis of various locations were also revealed (P<0,05).

Conclusion. The study results established for the first time that APOC1 rs445925 and rs4420638 polymorphic variants are part of a genetic predisposition to occlusive PAD and have a significant effect on the severity of peripheral arterial stenosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying the identified genotypic associations can affect not only lipid metabolism disorders, but also the proliferation of immunocompetent cells, platelet activation and aggregation processes, inflammation and apoptosis.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel and ticagrelor) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) living in the northern region of Russia (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra), depending on the carriage of various CYP2C19 allelic variants.

Material and methods. This prospective observational study included 218 patients with acute MI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The patients also underwent determination of allelic variants of the CYP2C19 gene. Patient were divided into groups receiving clopidogrel (n=164, 75%) and ticagrelor (n=54, 25%). Using biostatistical analysis methods, a comparison of clinical and genetic characteristics was performed, as well as an assessment of the risk of ischemic events between the groups in the long-term (108 months, 9 years) post-infarction period.

Results. Reduced (*1/*2, *2/*2, *1/*3) and increased (*1/*17, *17/*17) metabolizer CYP2C19 genotypes, as well as severe comorbidity, are reliable independent predictors of composite outcome (cardiovascular death, recurrent acute coronary syndrome, coronary stent/bypass thrombosis, myocardial revascularization, acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident) during a long-term (9 years) follow-up. The advantages of ticagrelor over clopidogrel in terms of the effect on the incidence of ischemic events in the long-term period were established without a significant difference for bleeding both in the general cohort of patients and among carriers of CYP2C19 allelic variants (*1/*2, *2/*2, *1/*3) and (*1/*17,*17/*17) in patients with MI.

Conclusion. Ticagrelor is significantly more effective than clopidogrel in reducing the risk of ischemic events in the general cohort of patients, as well as in carriers of reduced (*1/*2, *2/*2, *1/*3) and increased (*1/*17, *17/*17) metabolizer CYP2C19 genotypes during 9-year follow-up after the index MI.
