Investment "Modernization of irrigation system O.U.A.I. PROTECT AGRO BABA ANA MIZIL" is located in Prahova County, in the suburbs of the Mizil locality in the perimeter of the AHC Campia Buzaului complex development, in the irrigation system related to Plot SPP3 on Canal West 2. The total land area served by the SPP3/CV2 plot is 2171 ha, and the net area is 2076 ha. Through its rural development policy, the EU aims to help rural areas face the multiple economic, social and environmental challenges that the 21st century brings. This policy forms the second pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Climate change has an impact on existing water resources, especially in rural areas. Considering the poor adaptation of the existing infrastructure to the new agricultural structures, the sector remains vulnerable to climatic conditions (alternating drought and frequent floods), with significant economic effects on the economic viability of farms. This problem becomes much more acute in the context of global warming. Through their action, land improvement works (irrigation, drainage - drainage works and CES) contribute to the recovery of the land and induce beneficial effects on environmental factors: soil, water, air, supporting, once more, the inclusion of these works in the category those of public utility of national strategic interest. The case study is part of the National Strategic Program 2023-2027 - program financed by the European Union and the Government of Romania through measure DR-25 - Modernization of irrigation infrastructure The presented method allows the optimization of pipe dimensioning, respectively of the pressure and transported water discharge to irrigation capacity.

Published: May 2024

This study was conducted under the 4R-UAV project. The project is funded by the Latvian Council of Science with the goal of creating an innovative, aerodynamically improved, environmentally friendly, zero waste, and zero emission UAV. For the Circular Aviation 4R (Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Redesign) concept, this paper covers two Rs (Reduce and Redesign) aspects of the 4R-UAV project. Topology optimization of structures has gained enormous potential with the advances in additive manufacturing techniques. However, it is still challenging when it comes to conventional manufacturing. Aircraft/UAV wings are conventionally hollow structures and leave almost little or no space for further material removal. It becomes even more complicated when conventional manufacturing limitations are further imposed. Nevertheless, topology optimization is indeed an excellent way of reducing the mass of the structures by keeping the mechanical strength intact. This computational study attempts to implement topology optimization on a small-scale aircraft aluminum alloy wing as well as on a carbon composite UAV wing. In order to ensure the feasibility of not only additive manufacturing but also conventional manufacturing, controlled/limited topology optimization was applied only to the ribs of the wings. It was found that topology optimized wing ribs (aluminum and carbon composite) demonstrated a 20% mass reduction while up to 10% overall mass reduction of the wings was achieved. Moreover, after the topology optimization, the wings demonstrated improved mechanical characteristics and factor of safety. The knowledge learned from this study will be implemented for the topology optimization of the future small-scale 4R-UAV wings which will be mainly manufactured using additive manufacturing.

Evaluation of trypsin-like immunoreactivity, pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity, cobalamin, and folate in zoo-housed African painted dogs (Lycaon pictus) at a North American zoological facility
Authors: Heinz Jessica Y. , Virgin Emily , Nollman Jennifer , Wenninger Michael R.
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

Assess markers for pancreatic function and gastrointestinal malabsorption in African painted dogs (Lycaon pictus), including canine trypsin-like immunoreactivity (cTLI), canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (cPLI), cobalamin, and folate at one North American facility.

ANIMALS

15 healthy African painted dogs held at one institution were sampled during routine health examinations.

METHODS

Blood was collected at routine health examinations, and serum was separated and stored until testing. Serum was analyzed for cTLI, cPLI, cobalamin, and folate. The results were evaluated for correlation to sex, age, and storage time of samples.

RESULTS

All individuals had cTLI and folate levels below normal reference ranges for domestic dogs (< 5.0 µg/L and < 7.7 µg/L, respectively). Cobalamin values were within or above reported domestic dog ranges, and cPLI values were within range as well. No analytes were significantly influenced by sex or time in storage, while cTLI was positively correlated with age.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

cTLI and folate did not fall within normal domestic canid reference ranges in this population of healthy African painted dogs. Clinical interpretation of these values based on domestic canid recommendations would indicate clinical disease, which was not apparent in this population. Analytes for pancreatic function and malabsorption or gastrointestinal indicators, including cTLI, cPLI, and folate, in African painted dogs should be interpreted with caution when using domestic dog references ranges.
Enhancing Nutrient Digestibility and Antioxidant Efficacy in Piglets: The Impact of Fermented Rapeseed Meal Supplementation on Biochemical Parameters and Oxidative Stress Markers
Authors: Czech Anna , Woś Katarzyna , Muszyński Siemowit , Tomaszewska Ewa
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate the effects of varying levels of dried fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) on the nutrient digestibility and antioxidant efficacy in piglets. The experiment was conducted on 300 piglets, starting at 18 days of age. The primary experimental factor was the inclusion of FRSM in the diet, substituting mainly for post-extraction soybean meal and wheat. Two control groups were established: a positive control (PC) supplemented with 2500 ppm zinc oxide, and a negative control (NC) without additives. Additionally, four experimental groups were designated based on FRSM inclusion levels: FR-8 (8% FRSM), FR-12 (12% FRSM), FR-15 (15% FRSM), and FR-25 (25% FRSM). Results indicated a positive impact on nutrient absorption and redox processes, characterized by reduced efficiency of lipid peroxidation products such as malondialdehyde and lipid hydroperoxide in both blood and organs like the liver and intestines. From this perspective, the recommended inclusion of fermented rapeseed meal in piglet feed appears to be within the range of 8–12%
Are the Biodistribution and Metabolic Effects of Copper Nanoparticles Dependent on Differences in the Physiological Functions of Dietary Fibre?
Authors: Marzec Aleksandra , Cholewińska Ewelina , Fotschki Bartosz , Juśkiewicz Jerzy , Stępniowska Anna , Ognik Katarzyna
Published: May 2024

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the recommended (6.5 mg/kg) or enhanced (13 mg/kg) level of CuNPs in the diet in combination with different types of dietary fibre – cellulose (control), inulin, pectin, or psyllium on the Cu biodistribution and level of selected minerals parameters in the blood of rats. Rats were randomly divided into 10 groups. The first two groups were fed control diets containing cellulose and a mineral mixture with standard or enhanced content of CuCO3. Experimental groups were fed a diet supplemented with CuNPs (6.5 or 13 mg/kg) and combined with different types of fibre (cellulose, pectin, inulin, or psyllium). After the feeding period blood, liver, brain, and thigh samples were collected. In the samples of water, diet, urine, faeces, liver, brain, and thigh the Cu content was determined to assess Cu biodistribution in the body. Additionally, the concentrations of minerals (Cu, P, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Zn) in the blood plasma samples were measured. The replacement of CuCO3 with CuNPs in the diet beneficially influenced the biodistribution of Cu in the body by reducing its excretion, improving its digestibility, and utilization, reducing its accumulation in the brain and muscle, and increasing levels of Ca, P, Mg, Zn and Fe in the blood. Increasing the level of CuNPs in the diet increased total Cu intake. The addition of pectin, inulin and psyllium to the diet with a high content of CuNPs significantly increased the excretion of Cu, with no negative effect on its digestibility, and utilization, and prevented its excessive accumulation in the brain and muscle of rats, especially in the case of inulin. The results suggest that the addition of dietary fibre to the diet of rats ensures homeostasis of this element in the case of excessive intake of CuNPs by modifying the bioavailability of Cu.
Capacitor-Based Active Cell Balancing for Electric Vehicle Battery Systems: Insights from Simulations
Authors: Marcin Daniel , Lacko Milan , Bodnár Dávid , Pancurák Lukáš
Published: May 2024

Cell balancing, a critical aspect of battery management in electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications, ensures a uniform state of charge (SOC) distribution among individual cells within a battery pack, enhancing performance and longevity while mitigating safety risks. This paper examines the effectiveness of capacitor-based active cell-balancing techniques using simulations under dynamic loading conditions. Utilising MATLAB and Simulink, various circuit topologies are evaluated, considering real-world cell parameters and open-circuit voltage (OCV) curve modelling. Results indicate that advanced configurations, such as double-tiered switched-capacitor balancing, offer improved balancing speed and efficiency compared to conventional methods. However, challenges such as transient events during charging and discharging phases underscore the need for further research. By leveraging simulations and experimental data, researchers can refine cell-balancing strategies, contributing to the development of safer, more efficient battery systems for EVs and beyond. This study underscores the importance of systematic analysis and optimisation in advancing cell-balancing technology for future energy-storage applications.

Конструкционные коннекторы контактного предшествования в русском и французском языках в зеркале переводов
Authors:   МГУ им. М. В. Ломоносова, Москва, Россия, Кобозева Ирина
Published: May 2024

In the paper we present the results of the contrastive study of constructions that func- tion as one of the means of encoding the taxis of immediate (= contact) anteriority: Не успел Х P1, как / а P2; стоило P1, как /чтобы / и P2 in Russian and Il suffit P1, pour que P2; Х n’avait que P1, pour que P in French. The study was carried out using the Russian French part of the database of multicomponent connectors, developed in Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of the Russian Academy of Science, as well as additional data from the main and parallel subcorpora of the RNC. In section 1 we give general information on the main means of expressing taxis in Russian and French. In section 2 we provide data on the structure of the given constructions and on the frequency of their usage with that particular meaning in original and translated Russian and French texts, using the materials from the above mentioned database. In section 3 we analyze the ambiguous lexico-syntactic structure Не успел Х P1, как / а P2 , which in addition to contact anteriority taxis has two other meanings. We provide typical ways of translating each of the three interpretations of the given structure into French. Section 4 describes language indicators that allow to disambiguate this structure and choose a correct translational equivalent.

In this paper, the author provides an analysis of non-elliptical interrogative utterances in Polish and French in which an independent infinitive verbal form serves as the main verb. The research aims at describing their syntactic as well as semantico-pragmatic and textual properties. These insubordinated constructions have been studied from an illocutionary perspective. The result shows that the types are: questions and exclamatives. The former are divided according to the type of the response, their metatextual and/or deontic character; the latest can have deontic or epistemic value.
Tokugawa Nariaki and the Expatriates of the Mito Domain in Kyoto
Authors:   The Korean Association For Japanese History, Kim Hyung-Jin
Published: May 2024

The relationship between Tokugawa Nariaki and the imperial court, especially with Takatsukasa Masamichi, the real power of the court around the time when Tokugawa Japan’s opening, has received attention as a premise for the emperor’s political emergence. However, examination of Nariaki’s movements in the period before his retirement as the lord of Mito (1829-1844) has so far been insufficient.
In the Tokugawa Era, the contact points between the Mito Family and the court were diverse, and many of the expatriates of the Mito Domain stayed in Kyoto. In this paper, I paid attention to the movements of the expatriates of the Mito Domain. Particularly, the review focused on the role of Kawase Noritaka, The Mito Samurai, who received great trust from Nariaki. Noritaka stayed in Kyoto for about four years during this period and belonged to the Nijo Family and then the Takatsukasa Family. Both of these Coutiers’ wives were the sister of Nariaki.
This paper first outlines Noritaka’s career and the circumstances in which he came to reside in Kyoto. I looked at the composition of the expatriates of the Mito Domain in Kyoto at the time, and looked into what their daily work was like in Kyoto. Nextly, I reviewed the major tasks performed by Noritaka during his time as a member of the Nijo Family.
Lastly, a particularly detailed review was conducted on the process of sending Hananoi, Mito’s senior maidservant who had a strained relationship with Nariaki and her mother Eisoin, to become the Takatsukasa Family’s maidservant.

Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kim Taeyang , Lee Sang Hyeon
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the production efficiency of food manufacturing enterprises. For this purpose, the study constructed seven-year panel data of domestic manufacturing companies from 2015 to 2021. In addition, the production efficiency of food manufacturing companies was reviewed through Stochastic Frontier Analysis(SFA), a parametric approach, and the efficiency of each technology and industry was compared and analyzed to examine its characteristics in more detail. The main results of the study are as follows: First, the food industry has lower efficiency compared to other industries(general, high-tech), but its technological efficiency has increased over time. Second, the food industry showed a close positive relationship with R&D along with production factors, capital and labor. Third, as a result of analyzing the factors determining inefficiency, the smaller the size of the food industry, the greater the inefficiency. The conclusion of this study suggests the need for corporate activities and management strategies to increase the productivity of domestic food manufacturing Companies.
Determinants of Participation and Trading Volume in Online Exchange of Cuts of Meat
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Chang Jae Bong , Kim MinKyoung
Published: May 2024

To revitalize the wholesale market function, the government intends to establish an online livestock product exchange platform, promoting online trading for cuts of meat. We surveyed 110 meat processing companies nationwide to assess factors affecting the willingness to participate in online trading of cuts of meat and trading volume, using the sequence of Heckman, Logit, and Tobit models. Favorable online trading experience, short operation time, limited workforce, and minimal meat procurement boosted the willingness to participate in the online trading. High carcass auction satisfaction and distribution/sales challenges also increased the willingness to participate and transaction volume. This implies that a company's willingness to engage in the online trading of cuts of meat may be influenced by its perception of challenges stemming from a lack of experience in livestock product auction and variations in the company's size and business history.
A Study on the Expansion of Substitute Concept
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kim Yun-shik
Published: May 2024

Hicks, in his delineation of substitutes based on the sign of the substitution term, established a definition that has been widely employed in discerning the relationship between two goods due to its intuitive and easily explicable nature. Samuelson in his paper, however, demonstrated that the relationship between two goods becomes less perspicuous when another good is concurrently consumed as both a substitute and a complement.
In a more comprehensive context, substitution can be conceptualized as the process by which one good is replaced to achieve specific objectives. When applied to Hicks' definition of substitution, it suggests that a good is replaced by another good with a relatively lower price for utility. In this context, the price assumes the role of a mediating variable. By modifying the mediating variable, it becomes conceivable to redefine substitutes in alternative ways. This study suggests that income and physical constraints also serve as pertinent mediating variables. Consequently, the concept of substitutes can be extended beyond those contingent on price to encompass substitutes contingent on income and substitutes contingent on constraint. The integration of these new types of substitute categories into economic theory has the potential to yield alternative theoretical narratives.
Ex-post Assessment of Government’s Market Isolation System on the Rice Supply and Demand
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kwak Dae Young , Han Suk Ho
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the government's implementation of the market isolation system related to the Grain Management Act on rice supply and demand and price and the government's fiscal expenditure. To achieve this purpose it was modeled with a structural equation system that reflects the causal relationship between economic variables that conforms to economic theory. In particular, the rice policy analysis model constructed in this study is a ex-post policy assessment model, and the analysis of the impact of government policy changes on the rices in harvest period and lean season before the next harvest by reflecting the price formation process by period in the model is different from previous studies. As a result of the analysis, the market isolation system was found to be effective in raising the selling price of farm households in line with the government's policy purpose. However, it was found that the government's fiscal expenditure increased due to the increase in rice purchase and management cost because of the increase in inventory. Furthermore it was analyzed that the government’s fiscal expenditure efficiency was reduced as the benefit-cost ratio of market isolation implementation was all less than 1. Since 2005, the government has operated a direct payment system and the target price has existed, so there are many limitations to positively evaluate the additional market isolation system. In the future, if the government’s market isolation policy is needed due to rapid price change, it is considered that in-depth research on inventory management and release plans will be needed to increase government fiscal efficiency.
Analysis of the Impact of Female Farmers' Recognition of Co-ownership Status on Agricultural Sales of Farms
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kang Hye-Jung
Published: May 2024

This study analyzed the impact of ffemale farmers' recognition of co-ownership status on agricultural sales of farms, using raw data from the 2018 Survey on the Status of Women Farmers. To solve the endogeneity problem of the co-manager status variable, Two-Stage Least Squares estimation(2SLS) was estimated, and the 2SLS Quantile Regression model was used to analyze the economic effect of female farmers' farming status by sales volume. As a result of the analysis, middle-aged female farmers in their 50s and 60s with a high proportion of farming activities are acting as co-owners, and the more highly educated female farmers are, the more likely they are to perceive themselves as co-owners. When all other conditions were the same, the agricultural sales of farms owned by female farmers were 24.4% higher, showing that improving the status of female farmers was significantly contributing to the farm economy. In particular, quantile regression analysis shows that in farms with relatively small agricultural sales, female farmers contribute greatly to the farm economy when they act as co-owners. The smaller the farm, the more likely it is that the status of female farmers will lead to an increase in the farm economy. It appears that supports will be needed to achieve this.
Price Conditions for Korean Rice Producers to Adopt Floury Rice Varieties
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kwon Oh-Sang , Lee Seoungho , Yoo Do-il , Kim Miseok , Shim Jimin
Published: May 2024

In order to resolve the rice excess supply problem in Korea the government promotes adopting a newly developed floury rice variety which is more suitable for processed rice foods. Despite the conversion subsidy being provided by the government, producers are very much concerned about the uncertainties of the new variety in terms of productivity and future price. We conducted a dichotomous-choice format survey with 200 respondents and derived their willingness to adopt prices. Although the additional price that they asked for the new variety to be adopted was high on average, there was a substantial variation in adopting prices across producers. The producers better-informed about the rice technology, rice market situation, and the advantages of the new variety were willing to adopt the new variety if the price differential can compensate for the projected productivity differential. We found that the mass media and the informal networks in rural communities, as well as the public research and extension authorities, are very effective sources of information that can enhance the adoption rate.

Published: May 2024

This study examines the impact of consumer trust in organic certification on organic processed food consumption. Propensity score matching is utilized to analyze the impact of organic certification credibility on expanding organic processed food consumption. Results show that the credibility of organic certification has a positive effect on the expansion of organic processed food consumption. When comparing before and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the credibility of organic certification led to a greater increase in organic processed food consumption before the outbreak of the pandemic. As a result of analyzing the effect of the credibility of organic certification by age on the expansion of organic processed food consumption, the effect of credibility on the expansion of consumption in the young generation is greater than the effect in the middle-aged. In addition, the effect of credibility on the expansion of consumption is more significant for higher-income groups. Through the results, we provide evidence for establishing related policies and marketing strategies to expand the market for certified organic agricultural products.
Impacts of Hanwoo promotional sales event on the price volatility and rate of return for both Hanwoo beef and Handon pork
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kim Jin Nyoun , Shim Minhui , Jang Joon Man , Kim MinKyoung
Published: May 2024

We analyzed the impact of ‘Hanwoo beef promotional sales events’, part of the Hanwoo Beef Checkoff Programs, on the volatility and rate of return for both Hanwoo and Handon wholsale prices. In order to account for information asymmetry and investigate the relationship between volatility and the rate of return, we employed the GJR-GARCH model combined with the GARCH in mean model.
Our findings reveal that the implementation of ‘promotional sales events’ had a stabilizing effect on Hanwoo beef prices by lowering their volatility. It is also found that the rate of return increased. As price volatility increased, indicating an associated rise in the risk premium due to heightened market risk. Although the implementation of these events did not show statistical significance in influencing the rate of return for Handon pork, it was observed to have a marginal impact on price volatility.
The Economic Impacts of Farm Animal Housing Restrictions: The Mandatory Group Housing for Sows in South Korea
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Lee Hanbin
Published: May 2024

Beginning January 1, 2030, South Korea will mandate group housing for sows in the domestic hog production. The purpose of this article is to examine the economic implications of the new sow housing regulations on the hog and pork industry in South Korea. This article developes an economic simulation model to quantify the regulation impacts within a calibrated equilibrium framework. With three scenarios differentiated by the regulation costs in production, the simulated outcomes indicate that the regulations will result in a 2% to 11% increase in hog prices, a 1% to 5% decrease in domestic hog quantities, and a 0.5% to 3% decrease in hog producer surplus in South Korea. An increase of 10% in the willingness to pay for domestic pork would be sufficient to offset the loss in producer surplus caused by the regulations, in the scenario with relatively high incremental regulation costs of production.

Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Kim Ga Eul , Hong Seungjee , Soon Byung Min , Han Suk-ho , Kim Sounghun
Published: May 2024

In Korea, the food self-sufficiency rate is one of the most important political issue. The Korean government puts a large budget into increasing the food self-sufficiency rate every year but the performance of the government's efforts is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of government fiscal expenditure on the self-sufficiency rate. In this paper, market changes were measured using Equilibrium Displacement Model(EDM). The changes in the self-sufficiency rate and social welfare were also measured using changes in market equilibrium. As a result of the analyses, as government fiscal expenditure increased, the food self-sufficiency rate and social welfare increased, contributing to food security in Korea. Among government fiscal expenditures, increasing proportion of government fiscal expenditure on consumption showed a more positive effect on all markets than increasing proportion of government fiscal expenditure on other types. Therefore, it is necessary to expand policies to increase domestic consumption. The results of this study can be useful to discuss about the more efficient management of government fiscal expenditure for the agricultural sector.
Analysis of the Capitalization of Agricultural Subsidies: Comparison before and after introduction of a Public Interest Direct Payment System
Authors:   The Korean Agricultural Economics Association, Min Sunhyung , Cho Sung Ju
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the capitalization of agricultural subsidies in South Korea by analyzing data from the Farm Household Economy Survey. Employing a fixed-effects model, our analysis reveals that a 1% increase in per-area subsidies is related with a 0.06~0.08% rise in per-area rental rates. Following the introduction of the Public-interest Direct Payment System, the capitalization effect of agricultural subsidies on rental rates showed an increment of 0.04 to 0.05%, indicating a deterioration in subsidy capitalization. This study enhances our understanding of agricultural subsidy capitalization and its dynamics post-policy reform.
Dos tonos de negro. José Revueltas y Juan García Ponce en sus novelas Los días terrenales y La presencia lejana
Authors: Ávila Ponce de León Eric Miguel
Published: May 2024

José Revueltas (1914-1976) y Juan García Ponce (1932-2003) son dos de los escritores más importantes de la literatura mexicana del siglo xx. Sus personalidades y sus obras no pueden ser más antitéticas. Mientras que la literatura de Revueltas nunca abandonó sus preocupaciones políticas de izquierda marxista, razón que le mereció la marginación dentro del panorama cultural de su época, García Ponce fue un promotor líder en la suya de una creación artística que trascendiera cualquier tipo de contenido social. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta diferencia, las obras de ambos escritores tienen en común un subtexto de planteamiento ético, que comparte el mismo fin de radicalidad anti-estatus quo y la manera netamente sexual mediante la cual encuentran su mejor consumación. Este artículo explora, vis a vis, la creación de las éticas disidentes de Revueltas y de García Ponce en sus novelas Los días terrenales y La presencia lejana.
Two Shades of Black: José Revueltas and Juan García Ponce in their Novels Los días terrenales and La presencia lejana
Abstract
José Revueltas (1914-1976) and Juan García Ponce (1932-2003) are two of the most important writers in Mexican literature of the 20th century. Their personalities and their works could not be more antithetical. While Revueltas’ literature never abandoned his political concerns of the Marxist left, which is why he was marginalized within the cultural scene of his time, García Ponce was a leading promoter of artistic creation that transcended any kind of social content. However, despite this difference, the works of both writers have in common a subtext of an ethical approach that shares the same goal of anti-status quo radicalism and the purely sexual way in which they find their best consummation. This article explores, face to face, the creation of the dissident ethics of Revueltas and García Ponce in their novels Los días terrenales and La presencia lejana.

Este artículo propone una lectura de Banderas detrás de la niebla (2006), de José Watanabe, a partir de la mirada sobre el carácter fugaz de la realidad, un procedimiento que alberga un parentesco con la tradición poética oriental, especialmente en lo que respecta a sus vertientes china y japonesa. Frente a los estudios que se centran en el vínculo entre la poética de Watanabe y el haikú, planteo una visión más amplia, que contempla los modos en que la palabra se tiñe de una fugacidad inmanente, análoga a una práctica habitual en los parques de las ciudades chinas: la caligrafía del agua. El presente trabajo sostiene que el arte poética de Watanabe entabla un diálogo similar con el mundo y su materialidad.
Water Calligraphy: the Poetics of Evanescence in José Watanabe
Abstract
This article proposes a reading of Banderas detrás de la niebla (2006) by José Watanabe, based upon the gaze on the evanescence of reality, a procedure that shares an affinity with the Eastern poetic tradition, especially concerning its Chinese and Japanese facets. In contrast to studies that focus on the connection between Watanabe’s poetics and haiku, I present a broader perspective that considers the ways in which poetic word is imbued with an inherent transience akin to a common practice in the parks of Chinese cities: water calligraphy. This work contends that Watanabe’s poetic art engages in a similar dialogue with the world and its materiality.

De viajes, muertes y aguas: una trilogía de ciclos de Clara Obligado
Authors: Mendoza Vera Sandra
Published: May 2024

El libro de los viajes equivocados (2011), La muerte juega a los dados (2015) y La biblioteca de agua (2019) de Clara Obligado son tres libros de relatos entrelazados, susceptibles de ser catalogados como ciclos, categoría genérica que, desde que la propusiera Ingram, ha sido objeto de crítica. En este artículo, se ofrecerá un recorrido teórico sobre este concepto, así como las consideraciones de la autora sobre su propia obra literaria. Con ello, se estudiarán estos tres volúmenes, atendiendo a sus elementos unificadores: elementos paratextuales, como el orden y el título, y elementos narrativos, como los personajes, los espacios, los objetos y los motivos. Se descubrirá, así, la concepción lúcida de Obligado en este proyecto literario, que ha desembocado en una trilogía que cumple enteramente con los criterios del ciclo.
Of Journeys, Deaths, and Waters: a Trilogy of shot Story Cycles by Clara Obligado
Abstract
El libro de los viajes equivocados (2011), La muerte juega a los dados (2015) and La biblioteca de agua (2019) by Clara Obligado are three books of intertwined stories. These are works likely to be classified as short story cycles, a genre which has been subject to criticism since Ingram proposed it. This paper will offer a theoretical path about this concept, as well as the considerations of the author about her own literary work. Thus, it will be studied these three volumes, paying attention to their unifying elements: paratextual elements, such as order and title, and narrative elements, such as characters, space, objects, and motives. Therefore, Obligado’s lucid conception of this literary project will be discovered. This has resulted in a trilogy that meets completely the criteria of the short story cycle.

Cuerpo tipográfico: materialidad y corporalidad en Permanente obra negra [Título provisional] de Vivian Abenshushan [et al.]
Authors: Muñiz Nora
Published: May 2024

El presente trabajo busca dialogar con las nociones de corporalidad y materialidad presentes en Permanente obra negra [Título provisional] de Vivian Abenshushan [et al.], para identificar una contradicción latente en el texto. Sostengo, mediante un rastreo del “miedo ecfrástico”, propuesto por w. j. t. Mitchell, y junto con la “identificación empática” que plantea Saidiya V. Hartman, que el texto se contradice a sí mismo, debido a la existencia de autoficción. Sucede entonces que la presencia del “negro literario” se convierte en el soporte físico y teórico sobre el cual se establece una posición autoral que no logra escapar de la jerarquía que se busca trastocar con el plagio. Así, existe una contradicción entre la identidad colectiva que propone el texto y la autoficción que la desarrolla.
Tipographic Body: Materiality and Corporality in Permanente obra negra [Título provisional] by Vivian Abenshushan [et al.]
Abstract
This current work pretends to dialogue with notions of corporality and materiality present in Permanente obra negra [Título provisional] by Mexican author Vivian Abenshushan [et al.] in order to point out a latent contradiction in said text. By tracking the historical origin of the “literary black” figure and analyzing the political implications of using that term to name oneself, I wish to relate the symbolic figure to the disjointed materiality of the text. Using terms such as “ecfrastic fear” by W. J. T. Mitchell and “emphatic identification” by Saidiya V. Hartman, I hope to show how the literary openings that the text proposes face a contradiction with the presence of autofiction. The “literary black” as a ghostwriter becomes the physical and theoretical base on which the authorial position is set –and thus cannot escape its own hierarchy even by using plagiarism.

Eros y descriptio onírico-lírica en tres relatos “fuera de Región” de Juan Benet
Authors: Candeloro Antonio
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es de analizar tres relatos eróticos de Juan Benet ambientados “Fuera de Región”. A partir de una hipótesis interpretativa formulada por Ignacio Echevarría, se estudiará el papel fundamental de Eros, en cuanto protagonista oculto de los relatos; la manera en la que la descriptio se erotiza a partir de la irrupción del elemento erótico; las imágenes onírico-líricas que surgen de las descripciones de los espacios invadidos por Eros; de qué forma esas mismas imágenes desestabilizan la trama.
Eros and Oneiric-Lyric Description in Three Stories “Outside the Region” by Juan Benet
Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze three erotic stories by Juan Benet set “Outside the Region”. Based on an interpretative hypothesis formulated by Ignacio Echevarría, the fundamental role of Eros will be studied, as the hidden protagonist of the stories. We will study also the way in which the description is eroticized from the emergence of the erotic element; the dream-lyrical images that arise from the descriptions of the spaces invaded by Eros; how those same images destabilize the plot.

La participación de las mujeres en la cultura, específicamente en las letras durante el siglo XIX, suele ser pensada como escasa o nula, puesto que apenas se les menciona en los espacios de promoción de la lectura. A pesar de este estereotipo, en el último siglo se han realizado arduos trabajos para revisar y recuperar a aquellas voces que fueron calladas por la historiografía literaria del siglo xx. Parte de los objetivos de estos estudios recientes sobre las mujeres en la literatura decimonónica es “hacer justicia” histórica, mediante la visibilidad de sus textos, y cumplir con el cometido de que sea la obra quien hable por sí misma. Con esto, se logra una reelaboración del canon de la poesía mexicana del siglo XIX.

Posthumanistic transformation of the subject in the "virtual personal presence" at the ontological level

The relevance of this research is due to the growing commercialization and integration of "virtual reality" (VR) technology into everyday life and science, which requires understanding its impact on the user's experience and the construction of human subjectivity, as well as the potential for modifying human interaction with the outside world. Scientists are discussing the potential of VR and expressing the need for it to open the doors to a new era for humanity as soon as possible. In this context, critical analysis and philosophical reflection on the development of virtual reality technology and the possible impact on human life become extremely relevant and topical. The subject of the study is the content and transformation of the subject of reality in the virtual space through mediatization. The object of the study is virtual reality   The work is based on the deconstruction method based on the principles of interpreting what is read without distorting the meaning. With his help, the most significant and appropriate fragments were selected for scientific understanding and research of the phenomenon. As a result of the study, it was found that the informatization of the subject in the process of interaction with the virtual reality environment, a person as a subject is no longer an isolated substance, but expresses his existence through informatization.The concept of "virtual personal presence" provides a person with a framework for ontological expansion in the virtual dimension, therefore, the activity of virtual reality has a profound influence on the subjective construction of a person, characterized by posthumanistic features. Along with this, such influence at the level of ontology is mainly manifested in the virtualization and informatization of the subject. Virtualization of the subject not only shows the expansion of subjectivity in the virtual dimension, but also expresses that it always retains an ever-changing, plastic potential; informatization of the subject implies that in the activity of virtual reality, the subject represents his existence in the form of a specific information structure.
