colonização do mundo da vida amazônico
Authors: Freitas Nadia Magalhães da Silva , Dos Santos Siqueira Ivone , Oliveira Raposo Elinete
Published: June 2024

Neste ensaio teórico, de reflexão crítica, temos por base a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa habermasiana, objetivando relacionar os problemas socioambientais amazônicos ao processo de colonização sistêmica como reflexo de um mundo administrado. Na Amazônia, a interferência sistêmica, que constitui a colonização, é evidenciada no desacoplamento entre mundo da vida e sistema pela atividade dos imperativos sistêmicos: dinheiro e poder. Essas interferências, viabilizadas pela racionalidade instrumental, causam prejuízos à cultura local, afetando a interação entre sociedade e natureza. De modo a refletir sobre outra via possível na promoção da emancipação, Habermas nos apresenta a racionalidade comunicativa como capaz de enfrentar a absolutização da racionalidade instrumental. Em termos educacionais, podemos lançar mão da educação ambiental crítica para problematizar o modelo hegemônico de desenvolvimento societário e favorecer a reconstrução dos saberes ambientais no alcance comunicativo, fundamental à formação crítica de sujeitos.
Microplásticos, amenaza invisible en el océano: una revisión desde la química y la biología
Authors: Castrillón Gutiérrez María Camila , Gómez Méndez Luis David , Mejía Chica Sol Milena
Published: June 2024

Se hizo una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de describir las características y efectos que causan los microplásticos (MP) en la biota marina y el ser humano. Se tuvieron en cuenta artículos científicos publicados sobre el tema entre los años 2010 a 2023. Una vez recopilados, se procedió a eliminar duplicados y a filtrar los artículos restantes con base en criterios de inclusión y exclusión. La revisión de los artículos permitió concluir que, en la caracterización de estos materiales, se evidencia la falta de métodos estandarizados, sin embargo, predominan las técnicas ópticas, espectroscópicas y de pirólisis. Entre las consecuencias para la salud de los ecosistemas y la humana se encuentran, la reducción en la energía metabólica, los cambios morfológicos, el estrés oxidativo, la reducción de la población, los problemas intestinales, etc. Se destacan las diversas opciones que ofrece la industria para aliviar el problema, como las siguientes: filtración, biodegradación, productos sustitutos, etc., pero se hace énfasis en que la principal medida debe ser la reducción en la producción.
Amazonía desde fuera, entre jardín edénico e infierno verde. Una aproximación desde la semiótica a las construcciones discursivas de la identidad geocultural amazónica
Authors: Montoro Juan Manuel , Moreno Barreneche Sebastián
Published: June 2024

La semiótica ha experimentado una ampliación de su objeto de estudio que la ha llevado a ocuparse de fenómenos extralingüísticos como las interacciones, las prácticas y, en términos generales, la experiencia humana. En este marco, las identidades colectivas, especialmente aquellas vinculadas al territorio ―las identidades geoculturales, como proponemos aquí―, constituyen un objeto de estudio pertinente para la disciplina cuyo interés es aprehender el sentido y la significación en el seno de la vida social. Desde una perspectiva sociosemiótica, el artículo aborda la identidad geocultural amazónica y analiza su dimensión discursiva, atendiendo a cómo se la ha tematizado y construido desde fuera, como un conjunto más o menos articulado de discursos e imaginarios asociados a un territorio específico de naturaleza transnacional y, por ello, transfronterizo. El caso permitirá visualizar algunos de los mecanismos que están en juego en la construcción discursiva de las identidades colectivas asociadas al espacio geográfico.
Dinámicas de desarrollo, violencia criminal y participación electoral: un análisis en Ciudad de México y Chiapas
Authors: Hernández-Gutiérrez José Carlos , Duro Julia
Published: June 2024

El artículo examina el impacto de la violencia criminal en la participación electoral, considerando el nivel de desarrollo humano a nivel municipal. Con este fin, se analizan las elecciones municipales en Ciudad de México (CDMX) y Chiapas en el periodo 2006-2018. Se hipotetiza que la asociación entre participación electoral y tasa de homicidios varía según el desarrollo humano municipal. Para su comprobación, se utiliza una metodología cuantitativa y una base de datos de elaboración propia. Los resultados no confirman que el desarrollo humano municipal modere la relación entre violencia criminal y participación electoral, lo que podría atribuirse a la complejidad de factores contextuales y dinámicas específicas de cada área estudiada.
La migración en tránsito y los límites del derecho a la salud: el caso de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco
Authors: Andino Alejandro
Published: June 2024

Euskadi es uno de los puntos de más fácil acceso al territorio francés y a su vez al resto del continente. Esto, unido a la frontera existente entre España y el Magreb en las costas del sur peninsular, convierte a Euskadi en un punto de paso capital para llevar a cabo un proceso migratorio desde el norte de África hacia Europa. En un Estado social y democrático de derecho existen un mínimo común de derechos que se deben respetar. El derecho a la salud es uno de ellos, siendo el objeto de este trabajo determinar en qué términos legales se lleva a cabo esta protección, y cómo el mismo es interpretado y ejecutado por las distintas Administraciones en relación a los migrantes en tránsito.

Vitoria’s cosmopolitan potential realized: Human nature and human rights via social construction, not natural law
Authors: Gregg Benjamin
Published: June 2024

Vitoria’s 1537 lecture On the American Indians asserts moral equality and fundamental rights for all humans but is contradicted by the significant inequalities between Spanish conquistadores and indigenous peoples of Mexico and Peru. Despite recognizing these rights, Vitoria’s vision supports an unequal Euro-American relationship regarding territorial sovereignty, self-defense, self-determination, and religious freedom. His insights have implications for contemporary international law concerning indigenous rights. However, his theological framework limits this potential. To better address indigenous issues today, I advocate reframing Vitoria’s perspective by replacing his natural law-based human-rights essentialism with a naturalistic approach that views human rights as social constructs. This shift can help develop international law to prevent violent interactions and promote equality between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, reducing reliance on nation states to safeguard indigenous rights.

mRNA Transcription Analyses of ROS Genes of Olea europaea L. In Vitro Cultures Treated with Different Boron Salts
Authors: Çelik Onur , Kaya Ergun
Published: June 2024

Various factors such as biotic and abiotic stresses have effects on plant metabolism, development, and growth. Plants have many complex and extraordinary strategies to adapt, defend, avoid and tolerate all these stress conditions. In this study, the relative mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes of olive, which is very difficult to reproduce under in vitro conditions, were assessed under oxidative stress conditions, after treatment with boron compounds. In this context, three different compounds of the element boron, which are known to affect the ascorbate-glutathione pathway, were added separately at two different concentrations to the nutrient medium of olive under in vitro conditions. As a result of the study, it was observed that the relative mRNA expression levels of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase decreased only in the H3BO3 group among the experimental groups. An increase in the relative mRNA expression levels of antioxidant enzymes was observed in the NaBO2 and ZnBO3 groups compared to the control group. This situation was interpreted as due to an increase in salinity stress which thereby increased the oxidative stress of the applied NaBO2 and ZnBO3 groups. However, in the H3BO3 group, although the concentration was increased twofold, a decrease was observed in the relative mRNA expression levels of the antioxidant enzymes examined. This reveals that application concentration, as well as the compound used, is extremely important.
Determination of In Vitro Allelopathic Effect of Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) on Some Weeds and Test Plants
Authors: Şin Bahadır , Okçu Ömer Ümit
Published: June 2024

As the damage caused by weeds to agricultural crops increases, the use of herbicides is rapidly rising. The importance of allelopathy, one of the most environmentally friendly strategies in weed control, is growing day by day, making it one of the heavily researched topics in this field. Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is a weed causing considerable damage in agricultural areas. In this study, the in vitro allelopathic effect of field bindweed (C. arvensis) on weeds such as Sorghum halepense and Xanthium strumarium and on seed germination of crops such as cress (Lepidium sativum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and grass (Lolium perenne) was investigated. The studies were conducted in the Laboratory of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Sakarya University of Applied Sciences in 2023. Water and methanol extracts derived from the green parts of field bindweed were applied to seeds in Petri dishes at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5%. According to the results obtained, it was observed that 5% methanol extract prevented seed germination in all plants. It was also concluded that 5% water extract prevented the germination (0% germination) of hogweed (X. strumarium) and cress (L. sativum) plants. Promising data were obtained from this laboratory study against the germination of various plant seeds of field ivy (C. arvensis), which is an agriculturally problematic plant, and the results will be further confirmed by conducting greenhouse and field trials.

Authors: Petek Tomaž
Published: June 2024

The basis for modern planning of literature teaching is communication teaching. In the present study, we assumed that interpretive reading by the teacher plays a central role in the recommended model of school interpretation of literary texts for the development of student reading ability. We investigated the views of elementary school teachers and Slovenian language teachers on interpretive reading. A survey of 110 teachers revealed, among other things, that most consider appropriate interpretive reading in the classroom to be very important and that knowledge about it should be further developed. There was no difference between elementary school teachers and Slovenian language teachers in terms of knowledge about interpretive reading.

Ukraińska Wojskowo-Sanitarna Misja w Austrii i na Węgrzech w latach 1918–1919 (na podstawie materiałów Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Wyższych Organów Władzy i Zarządzania Ukrainy)
Authors: Sribniak Milana
Published: June 2024

Repatriacja jeńców żołnierzy ukraińskich z terenów Austrii i Węgier po I wojnie światowej do dziś przyciąga uwagę badaczy historii Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej i rzuca dodatkowe światło na ówczesną geopolitykę, koleje wojenne i losy setek tysięcy ludzi. Ukraińskie organizacje państwowe, dyplomatyczne i humanitarne – w szczególności misje wojskowe i sanitarne Ukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej (URL) w Austrii, na Węgrzech i w innych krajach – odegrały kluczową rolę w ustaleniu przebiegu procesu repatriacji Ukraińców z obozów państw centralnych. Artykuł ukazuje specyfikę działalności i znaczenie misji wojskowo- -sanitarnych URL na terenach byłego Cesarstwa Austro-Węgierskiego, które pełniły szereg funkcji dyplomatycznych i humanitarnych. W szczególności przez pryzmat cennych dokumentów archiwalnych Centralnego Archiwum Państwowego Wyższych Organów Władzy i Zarządzania Ukrainy autorce udało się uwypuklić rolę misji w wyznaczaniu tras ewakuacyjnych, prowadzeniu negocjacji dyplomatycznych z rządami innych państw w sprawie tranzytu repatriantów, tworzeniu punktów tranzytowych (stacji) oraz organizowaniu udzielania pomocy medycznej i materialnej.
Ważnym aspektem opracowania była analiza specyfiki działalności misji w Austrii i na Węgrzech (kierowanej przez Andrija Okopenko), zakresu obowiązków ich członków, charakteru współpracy z innymi instytucjami (w szczególności misje dyplomatyczne Zachodnioukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej). Autorka skupiła się na badaniu wyzwań, jakie pojawiły się w procesie repatriacji jeńców Ukraińców, a także wpływu na ten proces wydarzeń geopolitycznych, które uniemożliwiły skuteczną realizację masowej repatriacji. W pracy przeanalizowano specyfikę opieki nad repatriantami (zaopatrzenie w żywność, zapewnienie im pomocy medycznej i materialnej, a także prowadzenie działalności kulturalnej i oświatowej) w punktach tranzytowych na terenie Austrii i Węgier (zwłaszcza na przykładzie Wiednia – głównego punktu tranzytowego repatriacji jeńców Ukraińców). Działalność misji wojskowo-sanitarnych w czasach Państwa Ukraińskiego i URL umożliwiła zorganizowanie zakrojonej na szeroką skalę pomocy humanitarnej dla jeńców Ukraińców po zakończeniu I wojny światowej w warunkach trudnej sytuacji geopolitycznej i braku zasobów.
Żołnierze polskiego pochodzenia w służbie wojskowej Zachodnioukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej (1918–1920)
Authors: Stetsyshyn Oleh
Published: June 2024

Tematem artykułu jest służba w latach 1918–1920 w Ukraińskiej Armii Galicyjskiej (UHA) etnicznych Polaków i przedstawicieli innych narodowości, którzy urodzili się na terenach dzisiejszej Polski. Ukraińska Armia Galicyjska to siły zbrojne Zachodnioukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej (ZUNR – Zachidnoukrains’ka Narodna Respublika), które w latach 1918–1919 walczyły wraz z wojskiem polskim o terytorium Galicji Wschodniej, a od połowy 1919 r. przeniosły się na terytorium Ukrainy Naddnieprzańskiej, kontrolowane przez inne państwo ukraińskie – Ukraińską Republikę Ludową (UNR), i walczyły tam z oddziałami biało-czerwonych Rosjan. Ujęcie tej problematyki opiera się na dokumentach archiwalnych, wspomnieniach i periodykach z tego okresu, a także na badaniach współczesnych naukowców. Podejmowana jest próba usystematyzowania znanych nam danych personalnych tych żołnierzy polskiego pochodzenia, ustalenia przyczyn, które skierowały ich do zachodnioukraińskiej służby wojskowej, zbadania ich dalszych losów. Temat ten jest wciąż niedostatecznie zbadany i ma znaczenie dla lepszego zrozumienia procesów historycznych zachodzących w przeszłości.

Biogeochemistry analysis to assess water quality and the aquatic ecosystem in rivers using drones and sensors
Authors: Barrantes-Esquivel Daniel
Published: June 2024

River pollution is a common problem in many countries, and its analysis from a biogeochemical perspective allows us to understand the full impact on aquatic ecosystems. By examining nutrient cycles, chemical processes in living organisms, and interactions between biological and chemical factors, we can gain a deeper understanding of river pollution. Through the use of technology such as drones and specialized sensors, we can collect essential data to assess key biogeochemical parameters, such as nutrient concentration, oxygen levels, and the presence of contaminants. These analyses provide a comprehensive view of river health, enabling us to take appropriate measures for their protection and restoration, with the aim of preserving the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. The availability of nutrients in the water is crucial for the survival of aquatic organisms. These organisms rely on a variety of essential nutrients to maintain their health and balance in the ecosystem. Biogeochemistry allows us to understand how nutrient cycles and chemical processes in the water influence the availability of these vital elements. When certain nutrients are lacking or present in low concentrations, we can predict the impact on the ecosystem’s health based on the organisms or living beings that depend on those specific nutrients to survive. By analyzing biogeochemical processes, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of how the health of the aquatic ecosystem is related to nutrient availability. This approach helps us comprehend how changes in nutrient cycles and chemical interactions affect the composition and dynamics of aquatic communities. Additionally, it enables us to take appropriate measures to maintain a healthy balance in the ecosystem and ensure the survival of aquatic beings that depend on these vital nutrients.
Comparative Study of Steep Switching Devices for 1T Dynamic Memory
Authors: Navlakha Nupur , Raza Ansari Hasan , Register Leonard , Banerjee Sanjay
Published: June 2024

This work focuses on understanding the operation and performance of various steep switching devices (subthreshold slope sub 60 mV/decade), namely Thin-Capacitively Coupled Thyristor (TCCT), Field Effect Diode (FED), Zero sub-threshold swing and Zero impact ionization FET (Z2-FET), and Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) as capacitorless dynamic memory. Functionality as 1T DRAM depends on creation of potential well which must be induced in a p-i-n structure, achieved through precise doping of p-region (TCCT), asymmetric gate alignment (Z2FET, TFET) and use of two independent gates (FED and twin gate TFET). While TCCT, FED and Z2FET operate in forward bias, TFET operates in reverse bias.  The work shows a comparative analysis of these devices in terms of retention time, sense margin, current ratio, power and speed which are crucial metrics for future DRAMs and also provides a guideline for application specific design.

Authors: Guevara-Roselló Ana María , Retana-Ledezma Jostin Joel
Published: June 2024

This article focuses on a project carried out by the IEEE Computer Society Student Chapter at the Costa Rica Institute of Technology. The project was aimed to encourage the participation of underprivileged groups in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers through workshops and educational activities. It was conducted in four schools with low economic growth, with a focus on the participation of women in the activities. The project successfully brought STEM education closer to these groups, providing them with opportunities and tools to explore these areas. The results obtained during the workshops reflected increased interest and understanding among the students regarding STEM career options. The article highlights the importance of this project in the context of Latin American countries, where the growth of STEM careers has been slow due to prejudices and sociocultural problems. Topics addressed in the article include the objectives, significance, and results of the activity, the definition of underprivileged groups, the challenges these groups face in choosing STEM careers, as well as the associated statistics. The article also includes post-project observations from the perspective of students, teachers, and volunteers, providing a more comprehensive view of the impacts and challenges faced.

Published: June 2024

The study of Islamic psychology is a field that is increasingly receiving widespread attention in the context of Islamic education. An in-depth understanding of how the principles of Islamic psychology can be applied in educational contexts, especially in building spiritual and religious maturity, is a major focus in this discussion. This study used the literature review method to investigate the relationship between Islamic psychology and Islamic education, particularly in the context of building religious maturity. The primary sources used consisted of original documents such as scientific journals, textbooks, research reports, and other official documents. Meanwhile, secondary sources included review articles, reference books, and reviews that discuss and analyze findings from primary sources. The results of this research showed the correlation between religious maturity and Islamic education, as outlined in the Allport criteria, highlighting a holistic approach to student development, integrating spiritual values with educational principles. By fostering good differentiation, motivation in a dynamic religion, and a comprehensive outlook on life, educators empower students to navigate their identity while embracing moral and academic growth. In the end, this synergy between religious maturity and education will give birth to individuals who are not only academically capable but also moral and socially minded.

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Procrastination (MBCT-P) in reducing academic procrastination, as well as explain how MBCT-P can reduce academic procrastination. The research participants were 43 Muslim university students with academic procrastination scores in the medium and high categories who were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=21) and control group (n=22). A mixed methods research approach with an embedded research design was used in this study. An experiment with a Randomized Pre-Test and Post-Test Control Group with a Follow-Up design was used, while qualitative data collection was carried out during the intervention. The research instruments were the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (CR=0.89) and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (CR=0.92). The results showed that MBCT-P had a long-term effect in reducing academic procrastination in the experimental group. Experimental group participants were reported to be more focused, calm, and motivated and found it easier to accept academic tasks, leading to reduced procrastination. The modification of MBCT-for depression for academic procrastination with a shorter duration has never been previously explored. Hence, this research provides a new alternative intervention that effectively reduces academic procrastination among university students.
“Comer manjar ajeno siempre hizo mal provecho”. La amplificatio al servicio del escarnio de la vejez en el decir “Bien publican vuestras coplas” de Guevara contra Barba
Authors: Piña Pérez Marucha Claudia
Published: June 2024

El siglo XV fue testigo de un ambiente agitado entre los poetas castellanos cortesanos, se presentaron diversos juegos y disputas poéticas. En el Cancionero General de 1511 se registró una querella entre Guevara y Juan Barba, a propósito de la “Sepoltura de Amor” de Guevara. Al principio la discusión se centró en las características del amor cortés, pero después, en el decir “Bien publican vuestras coplas”, Guevara llevó la discusión a la ridiculización de la edad de Barba, y, como se buscará demostrar, utilizó las herramientas de la amplificatio —apostrophe, interpretatio y oppositio— para ridiculizar a Barba y, con ello, desautorizar su voz.
Pleito del Manto: A Satire of the Trial for Treason of the Marquess of Priego, Lord of Aguilar, in 1508
Authors: Domínguez Frank A.
Published: June 2024

Pleito del manto is a pornographic allegory consisting of 73 variable-length octosyllabic stanzas first published in the “burlas” section of the second edition of Hernando del Castillo’s Cancionero general (1514). The work describes a lawsuit brought by a personification called Carajo against another called Coño over the possession of a mantle. Its authorial cohesion, however, has been questioned.
Critics believe that Pleito combines two burlesque compositions that were written respectively ca. 1478-1480 (stanzas 1-49) and ca. 1496-1500 (stanzas 50-63) by anonymous authors. To this “core,” another poet called García de Astorga added ten stanzas (64-73) ca. 1509 that associate these works with the trial for treason of his lord, Pedro Fernández de Córdoba y Pacheco (1477-1517), first Marquess of Priego (1501), and Head of the House of Aguilar. This article argues that there is no internal or external evidence to support their hypotheses. It suggests, instead, that stanzas 1-63 were the result of a poetic game that mocked the 1507-1508 proceedings of the case against Aguilar, and that García de Astorga expanded this core.
Aguilar was a major Cordoban nobleman and a cousin of Fernando de Aragón who, incensed by inquisitor Diego Rodríguez Lucero’s cruel treatment of conversos, had forced him to flee the city in fear for his life. Aguilar also imprisoned the corregidor sent to investigate the case by the king, who then considered the nobleman a rebel and moved swiftly to imprison and put him on trial. These proceedings took place at the beginning of Fernando de Aragon’s regency, and it is the most important measure the king took against the highly fractious Andalusian nobility, poised to challenge his rule after the death of Isabel I.
Medicina y poesía: Pablo de Egina y el Poema médico de Miguel Pselo
Authors: Alonso Guardo Alberto
Published: June 2024

Mediante un análisis comparativo se estudian los contenidos que el erudito bizantino del siglo XI, Miguel Pselo, extrajo del Epítome de la medicina del autor médico Pablo de Egina (s. VII), su principal fuente al momento de componer su Poema médico, una obra de carácter didáctico destinada a despertar el apetito por la medicina entre sus amigos eruditos. Nuestro objetivo es investigar por qué Pselo realizó un uso parcial y desproporcionado de dicha fuente, pues emplea, principalmente, los tres primeros libros de los siete que forman la obra de Pablo de Egina.

Monstruosidad y política: los gigantes de los libros de caballerías castellanos y su relación con los espejos de príncipes
Authors: Carrizo Walter José
Published: June 2024

Los libros de caballerías castellanos (ss. XVI-XVII) fueron una de las formas de literatura más prolíficas y consumidas en el ámbito hispánico en los albores de la Edad Moderna. Herederos de la literatura caballeresca medieval, se encuentran atravesados por múltiples presencias monstruosas, siendo la de los gigantes la más recurrente de todas. Estas monstruosidades desempeñan, en términos narrativos, el rol de obstáculos a superar en el camino hacia la gloria caballeresca. Pero este no es el único propósito que cumplen. Entre otras muchas funciones adicionales, también operan como visiones fuertemente peyorativas de la otredad religiosa —para ser más específicos, de la islámica— y ejemplos de cómo un gobernante no debía ser ni proceder. En particular, en este artículo se comparan tres de los principales rasgos de la personalidad gigantea —la soberbia, el odio al cristianismo y la crueldad— con lo que se dice acerca de ellos en una familia de escritos que influyó en el género literario que nos ocupa: los “espejos de príncipes”, textos que engrosaban las bibliotecas nobiliarias, que formaban parte de la educación principesca y en los que se condensa la teoría política elaborada en los siglos medievales.
(Re)construção de identidade do ethos masculino e masculinidades na atenção domiciliar em saúde do homem

Published: June 2024

Objetivo: compreender as masculinidades de homens em cuidados domiciliares a partir da construção do ethos masculino. Método: pesquisa qualitativa tendo o referencial teórico[1]metodológico de Norman Fairclough para análise crítica de discurso e a concepção teórica de masculinidades segundo Raewyn Connell. Entrevistou-se 58 usuários entre pacientes e cuidadores de um serviço público de atenção domiciliar. Resultados: identificou-se duas centralidades discursivas: masculinidade hegemônica e suas ideologias e o novo ethos masculino: a admissão da dependência. Percebeu-se a presença de uma masculinidade não hegemônica entre os homens em cuidados domiciliares, cujas circunstâncias específicas do domicílio favorecem mudanças histórico-sociais e culturais, fazendo emergir novos conceitos, sentidos e experiências. Conclusão: o ethos masculino dos homens cuidados no domicílio é marcado pela condição de diferenciação, alinha-se a uma masculinidade subordinada, embora se referenciem em ideologias dominantes. Esse novo ethos masculino permite, em outras análises, reconhecer as necessidades e o comportamento de homens em atenção domiciliar
Forgotten Generation X. A Retrospective Look from the Future
Authors: Omelchenko Elena
Published: June 2024

The conversation about generations reduces to people whose youth coincides with the contemporary times, with a growing interest to the problems and demands of those young people who demonstrate visible differences from the previous ones and cause anxiety or hope in adults. Generation X is from the past, the youth of Russian Xs is from the late 20th, early 21st century, if we focus on the accepted generational chronology. The relevance of talking about Generation X can be associated with the gaining popularity of the discussion about the 90s, about heroes and anti-heroes of the time of changes, hopes and disappointments. For the last 10-15 years, the main characters of the generational drama have been millennials and zoomers, while media attention is turning to the alpha generation, following the marketing experts. Generation X, people who belong to this group by birth, are lost between boomers and millennial and are almost forgotten. Turning to the research and projects of that time will allow us to focus on the characteristics of the “twenty-something” youth. A look back in time from a distance of 30-40 years will help to see what may have fallen out of sight and to find traces of the cultural activity of those youth in the present. The article will focus on the peculiarities of X gen youth times, on the symbolic and real battles on the cultural youth scenes, on the acceptance and resistance to the discursive construction of youth identity in the political, media and academic fields. The article will use references to the research projects conducted in those years, as well as to the publications on their results.
Efficacia e sicurezza di B/F/TAF nelle persone con HIV naïve: dati real-life dal gruppo di ricerca SHiNeSHiC.
Authors: De Vito et al. Andrea
Published: June 2024

La combinazione di bictegravir/emtricitabina/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) è un regime antiretrovirale in un'unica compressa con una elevata barriera genetica, un’ottima tollerabilità e poche interazioni farmacologiche. Trial clinici hanno dimostrato la sua efficacia e sicurezza sia come regime di prima linea sia come regime di switch nelle persone che vivo con HIV (PWH). Questo studio indaga l'efficacia e la sicurezza di B/F/TAF come primo regime terapeutico nelle PWH. È stata condotta un'analisi osservazionale retrospettiva multicentrica utilizzando i dati del gruppo di ricerca SHiNe-SHiC, che raccoglie dati da quattro centri in Sardegna e Sicilia, Italia. Lo studio ha incluso tutte le PWH che hanno iniziato B/F/TAF come loro primo trattamento antiretrovirale. Sono stati raccolti dati demografici, clinici, viro-immunologici e biochimici al basale, a 6 e a 12 mesi. Cambiamenti significativi in questi momenti sono stati identificati usando il test di Wilcoxon.
In totale sono state incluse 159 PWH naive, con un'età mediana di 42,3 anni (IQR 33,5-52,5). La maggior parte erano maschi (79,9%), con il 18,9% di femmine cisgender e l'1,2% di femmine transgender. Il principale fattore di rischio era essere MSM (58,5%), seguito da eterosessuali (37,7%) e IDU (3,7%). Alla diagnosi, il 57,2% aveva una conta di CD4 <350 celle/mL, mentre il 30,8% aveva <200 celle/mL e l'11,9% aveva una patologia AIDS-relata.
A 6 mesi, il 79,8% aveva l’HIV-RNA inferiore a 50 copie/mL e il 99,2% inferiore 200 copie/mL. A 12 mesi, la percentuale con HIV-RNA inferiore a 50 copie saliva all'87,6%. Dopo l’inizio della terapia si è assistito ad un aumento significativo della conta di CD4 e del rapporto CD4/CD8. Si è inoltre osservata una riduzione dell’indici di necrosi epatica ed un aumento della creatinina a 6 mesi, per poi stabilizzarsi al controllo a 12 mesi. Per quanto riguarda il profilo lipidico, i livelli di colesterolo totale e LDL sono aumentati, ma con un rapporto colesterolo totale/HDL invariato. Diciotto (11,3%) PWH hanno interrotto B/F/TAF, di cui solo 3 per tossicità.
Il nostro studio dimostra la grande efficacia del B/F/TAF nelle PWH naive, indipendentemente dal carico virale all'inizio del trattamento; la tollerabilità del regime è ulteriormente evidenziata dai minimi effetti avversi che hanno necessitato di interruzione, sottolineando la sua idoneità come terapia di prima linea.

Published: June 2024

The features of modeling the movement of unmanned vehicles are investigated and approaches to modeling the flow of unmanned vehicles are being developed, taking into account promising solutions based on setting algorithms for vehicle behavior to ensure the target indicators of the transport process. Factors that take into account the features of unmanned vehicles modeling are proposed: priority for certain categories of vehicles, creation of separate parking lots, dynamic transfer from one route vehicle to another on the move, dynamic charging or refueling, dynamic cargo overload, multi-tiered vehicles, multi-link auto-driving without physical connection of individual links, high-speed movement of vehicles in conditions of high flow density. Also, using a specific example of the development of a macromodel of unmanned vehicles movement in conditions of high flow density, the features of it modeling movement are shown, consisting in the initial task of algorithms for the behavior of an autonomous vehicle, on the basis of which a model of traffic flow is already being built in the future.
