Queer Affects in the Wandering Films of Antonio Hens
Authors: Martinez-Expósito Alfredo
Published: January 2024

This article proposes an analysis of queer affects as they manifest in the films Clandestinos (2007) and La partida (2013), directed by the Spanish filmmaker Antonio Hens. Our exploration situates these films within a complex transnational framework, a context that not only shapes Hens’s authorial poetics, driven by the imperatives of production within his own film company but also exerts a profound influence on the subjectivity of the queer adolescent characters, a distinctive recurring compositional element throughout Hens’s oeuvre. Both films abound with thematic elements revolving around nomadic subjective experiences, encompassing themes of displacement, deterritorialization, spatial disjunctions, national estrangement, and an enduring yearning for alternative geographical contexts. Hens’s cinematic techniques amplify a pronounced sense of wandering nomadism and queer itinerancy. Within the scope of this article, we embark on an exploration of nuanced representations of queer subjects and their intimate or romantic relationships in various geographic settings. This analysis employs critical paradigms linked to the concepts of homonationalism, queer migration, and emotional intelligibility. Hens’s ‘wandering films’ adroitly utilize male characters who traverse intricate geographic landscapes. These are youthful and sexually fluid figures navigating a complex web of intimate and public urban spaces consistently tethered to notions of national identity. Consequently, these films identify the convergence of corporeal experiences and geographic environments as the locus where ineffable queer affective experiences manifest.
El neoanimismo y sus límites. Lectura crítica sobre el origen antropológico de la religiosidad de Gonzalo Puente Ojea
Authors: López Muñoz Miguel Ángel
Published: January 2024

Este artículo pretende un doble objetivo. En primer lugar, poner en valor la antropología religiosa del pensador español, Gonzalo Puente Ojea (1924-2017) que no ha contado aún con la atención académica merecida. En segundo lugar, analizar una tesis que podemos considerar como audaz en la medida que reivindica la recuperación del animismo de E. B. Tylor. Para conseguirlo, tras una breve introducción que contextualiza el problema que abordamos, se comienza por trazar una cartografía del pensamiento sobre la religión de nuestro autor. A continuación, se realiza un recorrido por su lectura del animismo tyloriano, valorando sus principales tesis en correspondencia con las teorías y los resultados de la investigación etnográfica recientes. Tras esto, extendemos nuestra lectura crítica a los principales diálogos que mantuvo con autores contrarios a la teoría animista y, de forma particular, con la teoría angular de la religión de Gustavo Bueno. Se concluye con unas consideraciones finales sobre los límites de neoanimismo como hipótesis explicativa del origen de la religiosidad y su sentido en el ámbito de la concepción irreligiosa de la realidad propia de Puente Ojea.
La infancia de San Gerardo Mayela: de la hagiografía, al cómic y a la web
Authors: Papasidero Marco
Published: January 2024

A través de este artículo pretendo analizar la infancia de San Gerardo Mayela (1726-1755), hermano laico italiano de la congregación del Santísimo Redentor. El objetivo no es tanto verificar qué aspectos de sus hagiografías corresponden a la verdad, sino examinar la compleja estratificación de las tradiciones sobre la infancia del santo, para comprender cómo se formuló y cómo, incluso en años más recientes, se narra. Con este fin examinaré un rico corpus de fuentes, realizado entre el siglo XVIII y nuestros días, que consiste en notas bio-hagiográficas del padre Caione, hagiografías, las deposiciones que se encuentran en los procesos ordinarios y apostólicos, para llegar a una tira cómica, una canción popular y un dibujo animado.
Entre la economía y la devoción: la identidad parroquial ante la reconfiguración territorial de las parroquias rurales (Lugo, ss. XVIII-XIX)
Authors: González López Tamara
Published: January 2024

La parroquia constituía un componente clave de la identidad en los siglos XVIII y XIX, ya que constituía la unidad de residencia principal y se fraguó como el principal marco de sociabilidad. El estudio de los conflictos por los cambios en las parroquias revela una cosmovisión identitaria densa y estable. De tal forma que pertenecer a un aparroquia no estaba condicionado exclusivamente por factores residenciales y devocionales, sino que la población se basó en múltiples elementos para argumentar y defender el territorio parroquial propio, tales como factores económicos o patrimoniales.
Modernización, romanticismo y mercado literario. Los inicios entrelazados de la espiritualidad flexible y del campo literario moderno
Authors: Salas Sandoval Camilo Andrés , Pérez Daniel Iván
Published: January 2024

La flexibilidad y la mercantilización de lo espiritual ¿son aspectos característicos de la cultura contemporánea? Centrado en los casos de Alemania, Inglaterra y Francia, el artículo detalla cómo el romanticismo literario se articula como un movimiento pionero de la espiritualidad flexible, proceso que se entrelaza con su rol seminal en la formación del campo literario moderno. El crecimiento económico y demográfico sostenidos en Europa desde el s. XV, así como la alfabetización impulsada por el protestantismo, construyen un moderno público lector que da pie —durante el s. XVIII— a la revolución y diversificación de la lectura, lo que promueve la difusión de incipientes tendencias modernas (ciencia, Ilustración, prensa). Oponiéndose parcialmente a estas tendencias y extendiendo la diversificación de lo impreso, surge la tendencia romántica. Sus autores flexibilizan la espiritualidad más allá de las convenciones religiosas de la época —y aportan a la formación del campo literario— (1) caracterizando el desencanto y otras formas de malestar moderno; (2) multiplicando el lenguaje imaginario-trascendente; (3) brindando connotaciones metafísicas al genio artístico; (4) promoviendo la autonomía y libertad expresiva del arte. La evidencia indica que el mercado fue una condición histórica básica para la EF. Se sugiere que esta flexibilidad se muestra como una adaptación de la espiritualidad a las circunstancias empíricas de la modernidad, la cual conlleva nuevas necesidades de sentido y una mayor capacidad para divergir de los relatos religiosos tradicionales.

Sejarah Film Dokumenter Awal Di Dunia
Authors: Hermansyah Kusen Dony
Published: January 2024

John Grierson membuat terminologi film dokumenter setelah menonton film Moana (1926) karya Robert Flaherty. Film dokumenter menurutnya adalah creative treatment of actuality atau perlakuan aktualitas secara kreatif. Secara kritis perlu dipertanyakan kebenaran bahwa film-film Flaherty adalah film dokumenter awal di dunia. Untuk menjawab hal tersebut, metode penelitian yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini metode sejarah. Ada tiga tahap dalam metode ini, yaitu pencarian sumber keterangan atau bukti sejarah (heuristik); penilaian atau pengujian bahan-bahan sumber dari sudut pandang nilai kenyataannya (kritisisme); dan sinthese atau penyajian yang bersifat formal dari temuan. Tahap ini meliputi penyusunan kumpulan data sejarah dan kemudian penyajiannya dalam bentuk tertulis. Teknik pengumpulan datanya akan menggunakan studi kepustakaan dan dokumen. Sedangkan analisis datanya akan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosiologi, antropologi dan politik. Ada yang menarik bahwa pada awal film dibuat, terdapat film-film karya Brighton School, yaitu  perkumpulan fotografer di Inggris yang telah membuat film dokumenter. Hanya saja film ini kemudian baru ditemukan pada kurun waktu 1970-an. Sangat mungkin film-film tersebut merupakan film-film dokumenter awal di dunia.
Kompleks Candi Kedaton sebagai Subjek Film Dokumenter: Interpretasi Arkeologis melalui film
Authors: Iskandar Naswan
Published: January 2024

Tanda visual dapat diekstraksi dari catatan arkeologi mana pun hampir tanpa batas, tetapi seseorang arkeolog biasanya kesulitan untuk memformalkan kriteria signifikan untuk apa yang secara intrinsik "visual", bahwa fitur visual yang berbeda hampir pasti penting untuk penjelasan yang berbeda. Sementara pembuat film dihadapkan pada upaya berfokus pada proses interpretasi film dan terlibat dalam penyelidikan masalah bagaimana makna yang berbeda dari film yang sama dapat hadir dan hidup berdampingan. Pembuat film dihadapkan dengan film sebagai dunia dan penonton film sebagai penafsir, menganggap interpretasi relatif melekat dan kontekstual. Penelitian yang didasarkan pada praktik ini merupakan upaya memberikan kontribusi pengetahuan dengan mengeksplorasi teoritis dan kritis pembuatan film dokumenter, serta menyoroti proses pembuatan film dokumenter arkeologis dalam sudut pandang akademis. Komponen praktis dalam penelitian ini adalah pembuatan film dokumenter dengan subjek kompleks Candi Kedaton di Situs Muarajambi sebagai tempat pembelajaran keagamaan Buddha pada masa lalu. Kajian ini menyelidiki bagaimana pergeseran paradigma baru dalam teknologi digital dan pembuatan film dokumenter dapat memungkinkan pembuat film akademis memproduksi film dokumenter arkeologis melalui pelibatan kreativitas dan subjektivitas sebagai bagian dari praktik akademis tanpa mengorbankan integritas interpretasi.

Indications, Evaluation, Technique and Complications of Otoplasty
Authors: Abduljabbar Ashraf , Alkanderi Roaa
Published: January 2024

Protruding ears are one of the most prevalent congenital auricular anomalies, with significant behavioural and psychological consequences. The management of protruding ears has developed over time and currently involves a wide variety of cutting-edge surgical methods. These procedures have undergone constant improvement to maximize aesthetic outcomes while also reducing the necessity of surgical revision. Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that uses long-lasting sutures to alter the location, size, or form of the ear. Prominauris, or protruding ears, are the primary indication of otoplasty. Several techniques—almost over 200—are described for otoplasty procedures, among which the majority of technical advancements are only slight adaptations of methods that were first published 40–50 years ago. These procedures are broadly classified as cartilage-cutting or cartilage-sparing procedures. Like any other surgical procedure, otoplasty has related risks and complications; however, they are relatively rare and quite few. The complications of otoplasty can also be classified into early and late complications, depending on the time of presentation. Hematoma, hemorrhage, and postoperative infections, including perichondritis, dehiscence, and skin necrosis, are some of the early complications of otoplasty. Excessive scarring, suture extrusion, hypersensitivity, keloids, and the telephone ear are a few of the late complications. However, overall, otoplasty is considered a safe and effective procedure. The purpose of this research is to review the indication evaluation technique and complications of otoplasty, for which a comprehensive literature search in various databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, was performed.

Syndesmosis injuries are quite common globally. Often occurs due to the rotation of the foot or excessive movement in either upward or downward directions at the ankle. These may lead to several injuries, leading to pain, swelling, instability, and a decrease in ankle function. Diagnosing syndesmosis injuries can be challenging since they might not be easily identified through X-rays or clinical examinations. Some other diagnostic approaches, including computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance techniques which can provide information regarding the severity of such injuries. The main treatment approach for syndesmosis injuries depends on how unstable or displaced the joints. Non-surgical treatment options involving immobilization and restrictions on weight-bearing activities can effectively manage minimally displaced injuries. However, surgical intervention with fixation through screws, suture buttons, or other devices is recommended for significantly displaced injuries. The optimal timing for surgery, preferred technique for fixation, and appropriate duration of fixation are still topics of debate requiring research. Generally speaking, though, most patients with syndesmosis injuries tend to have outcomes; however, there is a possibility that some patients may experience pain and stiffness in their ankle joint movements over time while others may develop arthritis or mal-union conditions.

Abstract Fluorescence, the emission of light by a material after absorbing photons, is a property that has been extensively studied and utilized in various fields. In dentistry, fluorescence plays a crucial role in assessing the esthetic outcomes of dental restorations and prostheses. Different dental materials, such as resin composites and ceramics, exhibit distinct fluorescence characteristics. Understanding how these materials interact with fluorescent light is essential for achieving optimal esthetics in dental treatments. Therefore, fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials is a topic of great significance in the field of dentistry. Researchers have employed various methods to investigate the fluorescent light reflection of dental materials. These methods include spectrophotometry, fluorescent microscopy, and digital imaging techniques. By analyzing the fluorescence emission spectra and intensity, valuable insights into the optical properties of different dental materials have been obtained. Studies have shown that factors such as material composition, surface roughness, and color stability can influence the fluorescence light reflection of dental materials. For example, resin composites with certain additives or modifications may exhibit enhanced fluorescence, resulting in more natural-looking restorations. Furthermore, advancements in digital imaging technology have allowed for the development of fluorescencebased devices, such as fluorescence imaging cameras, to aid in clinical assessments. These devices enable dentists to evaluate the esthetic integration of dental materials within the oral environment, leading to improved treatment outcomes. Overall, the investigation of fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials offers valuable insights into their optical properties and their potential impact on esthetics. The understanding gained from this research can aid in the selection and characterization of dental materials, ultimately enhancing the esthetic outcomes of dental treatments

Prosthodontic rehabilitation hinges upon establishing an accurate and stable occlusal relationship, making accurate bite registration paramount. This process ensures optimal oral function, mastication, and speech, while also contributing to the longevity of prostheses and enhancing aesthetic outcomes. Various bite registration techniques are available, including analog methods like wax and silicone, and digital methods enabled by intraoral scanning and advanced software. The choice between these techniques depends on factors such as clinical scenarios and practitioner preferences. While both analog and digital techniques have their advantages and considerations, digital methods often offer enhanced precision, real-time visualization, and patient comfort. Reliability, accuracy, and time efficiency are crucial factors in the selection of a technique, with digital methods generally excelling in these aspects. However, the ultimate reliability of any technique is contingent on the practitioner's expertise, material quality, and adherence to best practices. In summary, the choice of bite registration technique in prosthodontics should align with patient needs, clinical context, and the practitioner's skill set.

Background: Emotional abuse is often described as a precursor to physical abuse and has a significant negative impact on individuals' well-being. This is a widespread issue, especially in the educational context. The study aims to investigate the prevalence of emotional abuse among medical students at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University of Health Sciences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students using a survey designed on Google Forms. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 27. Medical students in their third and sixth years of education were included in the study, while students unwilling to participate and questionnaires with missing responses or data were excluded from the study. Additionally, students from any research team were also excluded. Results: A total of 227 medical students participated in the study, comprising 105 men and 122 women. The majority of students (87.2%) knew about emotional abuse. The prevalence of emotional abuse reported in our study population was 6.4%, with only 0.8% suffering from severe abuse. Based on Fisher's exact test results, none of the examined factors—gender, smoking status, substance use, mental health disorders, GPA, and stream— showed significant associations with emotional abuse among medical students in this study (p-value > 0.05) Conclusions: This study observed a comparatively lower prevalence of emotional abuse in our setting. However, detecting emotional abuse among medical students is essential to protecting their mental health, academic progress, professional development, and the well-being of future patients. It also aligns with the ethical standards and principles of professionalism that are central to the medical profession.

Diastema is a prevalent condition that causes poor aesthetics and increased self-consciousness among individuals. Diastema is defined as a gap or distance of two or more neighbouring teeth. Many patients desire the closure of diastemas for cosmetic reasons. In the event of normal physiological development, diastemas with widths of less than 2 mm in nine-year-old children frequently close on their own. Although if they fail to close split Essix plates or finger springs on a detachable device, they can be used for closure. However, to control the angulations of the crown and roots in adults with broader diastemas, fixed appliances are required for correction. By using a range of alternative treatment procedures, including all-ceramic crowns, metal-ceramic crowns, porcelain laminate veneers, direct composite veneers, and indirect composite veneers, the diastema closure can be conservatively completed without the need for braces. It has become difficult for endodontists to meet the needs of young people who are used to expecting speedier aesthetic outcomes in a set amount of time. A composite resin buildup provides a solution for all of the patients' vivid needs during this crisis. Various prosthodontic rehabilitation, restorative, and orthodontic procedures and their derivative techniques are employed in dental practice for the closure of diastemas. The availability of diverse procedures and techniques in recent times has allowed the patient to achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile. In this paper, we aim to review the existing evidence from the literature for advances in diastema closure and tooth shape change.

Enamel fractures are often caused by trauma. Can be seen as visible irregularities that require early intervention to prevent aesthetic issues. Dentin fractures are marked by increased sensitivity. Require tailored interventions such as desensitizing agents or restorations to address symptoms and maintain tooth integrity. Root fractures present with localized pain and swelling, posing challenges that require a management approach. Vertical fractures affecting both the crown and root need assessment using imaging techniques to guide treatment decisions. Cracked tooth syndrome involves fractures that may be managed holistically through measures or endodontic therapy in severe cases. This comprehensive review explores the world of fractures, examining their various types, symptoms and treatment strategies. It covers fractures in enamel, dentin, roots, and vertical ones that affect both the crown and root as cracked tooth syndrome. The study emphasizes the importance of diagnosis and effective treatment for the presentation of fractures.

Seizures in the context of drug overdose present a complex challenge, primarily arising from central nervous system (CNS) stimulation, electrolyte imbalances, reduced seizure thresholds, drug interactions, hepatic impairment, and direct CNS toxicity. Commonly implicated substances include stimulants like amphetamines, cocaine, and ecstasy, as well as prescription medications like opioids and benzodiazepines. Management strategies include the use of benzodiazepines to reduce neuronal activity, fluid resuscitation, electrolyte replacement therapy, and specific interventions for drug interactions and hepatic impairment. The clinical manifestations of drug-induced seizures are diverse, including convulsions, altered consciousness, autonomic dysfunction, focal neurological deficits, and in severe cases, status epilepticus. These manifestations require swift and targeted clinical interventions to minimize patient morbidity and mortality. This comprehensive review addresses the significant public health concern of drug overdose-related seizures, focusing on the triggers and appropriate countermeasures. The management of drug overdose-induced seizures is a nuanced and multifaceted process. It demands a coordinated effort from healthcare professionals, integrating prevention strategies, patientcentered care, and continuous monitoring to ensure effective management and long-term recovery.

Background: Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a juvenile osteonecrosis of the femoral head, leading to hip pain, limping, and restricted range of motion in affected children. Physical activity restrictions are commonly advised to prevent femoral head deformity, but their impact on the quality of life in children with LCPD is not fully understood. Methods: The case-control design was used to assess the physical activity levels and quality of life of 20 children with LCPD, comparing them to a control group of typically developing children via online questionnaires. The period of recruitment starts from July 2023 to November 2023. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) and the KIDSCREEN-10 questionnaire were used to collect data. Results: Children with LCPD demonstrated significantly lower physical activity levels at school and during weekends at home compared to the control group. They also reported lower quality of life scores, with specific questionnaire items indicating reduced feelings of fitness, energy, and the ability to have fun with friends. Chronic pain, emotional impact, and physical activity restrictions were identified as contributing factors. Conclusion: A holistic approach is needed to address the challenges faced by children with LCPD, encompassing effective pain management, identifying safe physical activities, and integrating psychological support into their care. This study highlights the importance of understanding the multifaceted impact of LCPD on affected children, emphasizing the need for further research and intervention to enhance their well-being
