Dissemination of Outreach Education Programs: In-Person and Computer-Mediated Strategies
Authors: Kudryatsev Alex , Krasny Marianne , Walther Joseph
Published: August 2023

In-person and computer-mediated strategies are used to disseminate Extension programs, but little is known about their relative effectiveness. Using educator surveys, we compared the effectiveness of program dissemination via educator workshops, short presentations, and a DVD in terms of rates and extent of implementation in an urban environmental education program. Workshop participants were more likely to implement programs with youth, although the number of implemented activities did not differ significantly among educator participating in various dissemination strategies.

Authors: Velandia Margarita , Lambert Dayton , Jenkins Amanda , Roberts Roland , Larson James , English Burton , Martin Steven
Published: August 2023

Cotton farmers in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia were asked where they obtained information about precision farming. Farmers use Extension as a source of precision farming information, but in combination with other sources, including media, crop consultants, trade shows, and other farmers. Farmers using Extension as a source of information tend to be younger, with more education and higher incomes, compared to producers not seeking information from Extension. Understanding the profiles of producers using Extension resources for precision farming information may help Extension design programs to improve information delivery to clients.

Results from a web survey (N=1,099) show that most webinars reach new audience members and that participants seek additional information as a result of viewing the webinar.
Samet Ağaoğlu’nun “Büyük Aile” Adlı Hikâyesinde Şiddetin Biçimlenişi
Authors: ATAY Selçuk
Published: August 2023

İnsana ait temel duygulardan biri olan şiddet gerek bilinç düzeyinde ve gerekse maddi âlemde sıkça karşılaşılan, sözün tesirinin azaldığı veya ortadan kalktığı durumlarda ortaya çıkan ve insanın arzu ve isteği dışında maruz kaldığı tutum, davranış ve her türlü otorite kurma amacı güden bir edim olarak karşımıza çıkan bir olgudur. İnsan yaralanabilir olduğu ve yaralama arzusu duyduğu müddetçe şiddete açık bir varlıktır. Bu yönüyle insanı merkeze alan varlık alanına sahip edebî eserlerde de sıkça işlenmiş bir yapı olduğu söylenebilir.

Malzemesi dil olan bir sanat eseri olarak edebî eserlerin de insanda duygu, fikir ve düşüncelere doğrudan tesir etmesi bir şiddet biçimi olarak nitelendirilebileceği gibi izleksel planda şiddetin çeşitli görünümlerini de okuyucuya sunan bir ontik varlık olduklarını söylemek mümkündür. Bu anlamda bireyden topluma uzanan taraflarıyla şiddetin farklı görünümlerini sunma ve okuyucunun itibari bir âlemde bu görünümleri deneyimleme imkânına sahip olan edebî eser, bu yönüyle yaşanılan ve var olunan hayatın içerisinde önemli bir yer tutar. Söz konusu varlık alanı bu makalede Samet Ağaoğlu’nun “Büyük Aile” adlı hikâyesi merkeze alınarak kurmaca bir metinde şiddetin biçimlenişi sosyolojik, psikolojik ve dil boyutlarıyla incelenecektir.
Investigation of Neonicotinoids Insecticides with LC-MS/MS in Honey Produced in Giresun
Authors: KORKMAZ Seda Dicle , KÜPLÜLÜ Özlem
Published: August 2023

Neonicotinoids are a significant threat to the environment and the food chain given their wide commercial distribution, mode of action, systemic properties, persistence, toxicity profiles of insecticides and metabolites, and their effects on living organisms.These substances, developed as an alternative to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides, pass to all parts of plants, including pollen and nectar, and can be transferred to products produced from these plants, especially bee products. With these systemic effects, neonicotinoids lead to negative effects on living things such as honey bees and wild bees, as well as other vertebrates. Currently, studies on neonicotinoid derivatives and their effects are increasing rapidly, and according to the results of the study, bans and restrictions are imposed on their use in different countries.The aim of the study was to determine the presence and amount of neonicotinoids in honey produced in Giresun province and to measure the level of pollution in the environment and possible public health risks it is revealed. Giresun province, known as the capital of hazelnuts in Turkey, where beekeeping is widespread and many agricultural activities are carried out, has the characteristics and importance to reveal the purpose of the study. For this purpose, 50 honey samples taken during the new harvest period from growers engaged in stationary beekeeping in areas close to Giresun's nut-growing regions were used as materials. Neonicotinoid in samples the presence of (acetamiprid, clothianidin, thiacloprid, imidacloprid,nitenpyram, thiamethoxam and dinotephran) was detected by LC-MS/MS. According to the analysis results; imidacloprid was detected in 9 of 50 honey samples, thiomethoxam in 2, and both imidacloprid and thiomethoxam in 1 were above 10 ppb, which is the limit value, and neonicotinoids were determined in a total of 12 samples. As a result, the presence of possible neonicotinoids in honey, which is recommended for therapeutic consumption, a sine qua non of healthy diets with high nutritional value, is a potential danger to public health. Neonicotinoid contamination in honey and other bee products, which are often consumed, especially by children and decrepit people, is extremely important in terms of the health risks it may pose. Within the framework of good agricultural practice, the selection of beekeeping areas and the introduction of restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids in this direction in parallel with the EU are important for preventing possible risks.
Single-layer Cu2X (X = O, S, Se): auxetic materials modulated by strain engineering
Authors: Li Chengang , Zhang Quan , Zhang Erhu , Zhang Shengli
Published: August 2023

Auxetic materials have shown significant potential for information, medicine, and aerospace applications. This work predicts a series of single-layer (SL) Cu2X (X = O, S, Se) with negative Poisson’s ratio (single) using first-principles calculations. It is found that SL Cu2O has an intrinsic ultrawide range of large NPR, which is less discovered in auxetic materials. By strain engineering, we not only reveal the maintainable in-plane NPR of SL Cu2O over a large strain range, but also modulate out non-intrinsic in-plane and out-of-plane NPRs of SL Cu2X. These exotic properties of SL Cu2X could lead to their favorable mechanical potential.

Authors: Ahmed P Rizwan , Das Roby , Krishna Anantha , Rajan Ramesh , K S Swasthik , S Santhoshkumar , V Antony Agestino
Published: August 2023

Background: Ahigh level of inammatory biomarker may predict a worse perioperative outcome and can be an indirect evidence of a bad tumour biology which may possibly help to change the treatment plan from an upfront surgery to neoadjuvant therapy. We aim to study the relationship between inammatory biomarkers with postoperative outcome and histopathological features. Methodology: This is a retrospective observational study. Data of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenecto my in our institution from 2015 to 2022 were taken for analysis from a prospectively maintained database. Whipple with distal pancreatectomy, evidence of active infection with TC > 12000, deep vein thrombosis, vascular or inammatory disorder, previous history of malignancy, chemoradiotherapy and benign pathology were excluded. The preoperative NLR, PLR and dNLR were calculated and statistical signicance was assessed with the pathological features and morbidity.ROC curves were plotted to get the cut-off values of the same. Results: 105 patients were taken up for pancreatoduodenectomy of which 88 were taken for analysis after satisfying the exclusion criteria. Astatistically signicant relationship was noted between PLR, NLR and dNLR with Lymph node involvement (Pvalue = 0.021, 0.005, and 0.008 respectively), dNLR and NLR with Perineural invasion (P value : 0.12 and 0.019) and lympho-vascular invasion (P value : 0.003 and 0.002). An increasing PLR showed a statistically signicant increased risk of POPF (Pvalue = 0.031). Conclusion: Preoperative Inammatory biomarkers may help to predict the pathological features and clinical outcome in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.

lsisi G, Ezzat M, Ramadan M. Projecting the Potential Budget Impact Analysis of Paliperidone Palmitate in Egyptian Adult Patients with Schizophrenia
Authors: Elsisi Gihan , Ezzat Mohamed , Ramadan Mohamed
Published: August 2023

Background: Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that has greater negative consequences on role functioning than many other severe chronic diseases. Objective: We evaluated the economic impact of long-acting injections of paliperidone palmitate (PP) vs daily oral antipsychotics to treat chronic schizophrenia from a societal perspective over a 2-year period. Methods: A static budget impact model was developed to compare PP with daily oral antipsychotics (risperidone, olanzapine, and aripiprazole) in the treatment of patients with chronic schizophrenia. Our study included treatments used during relapse and hospitalization, validated by an expert panel. The clinical parameters were extracted from the PRIDE trial. Direct medical costs and indirect costs were measured. The unit cost of drug acquisition for all medications was extracted from the public sector. One-way sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results: The target population in our model was estimated to be 142 incident patients. In the first year, the total drug costs in Egyptian pounds (EGP) for PP and oral antipsychotics were £2.7 million and £724 004, respectively, while the total medical costs for PP and oral antipsychotics were £3 million and £5.6 million, respectively. In the second year, the total drug costs for PP and oral antipsychotics were £2.7 million and £724 004, respectively, while the total medical costs for PP and oral antipsychotics were £3 million and £5 million, respectively. The total costs for PP (£11.6 million) over 2 years were less than those of oral antipsychotics without PP (£12.7 million). PP produced an estimated budget savings of £1 046 561 (budget savings per patient per year, £3667). In addition, PP resulted in the avoidance of 18 hospitalizations per year compared with the without-PP arm. Sensitivity analyses showed that the percent of hospitalizations for both oral antipsychotics and PP had the greatest impact on the results. Conclusion: The lower hospitalization rates associated with PP offset the increase in drug costs. PP may potentially be cost-saving compared with the standard of care in chronic schizophrenia in Egyptian representative healthcare settings. Policy makers may consider this approach to improve patient outcomes and budget sustainability.

Authors: Boiko M.V. , Kolesnikov I.V. , Ermakov S.F. , Boiko T.G. , Bicherov A.A.
Published: August 2023

The tribo-induced effect of increasing the antifriction properties of lubricants with the combined use of cholesterol
compounds and oil-soluble complexones is considered. It was found that the formation of boundary films is due to the
following processes: the formation of complex compounds between ethanolamines and iron ions of the surface oxide film;
removal of complexes from the friction surface; the interaction of the base of the lubricant with unoxidized iron; the formation
of epitropic structured layers with cholesterol esters.

Authors: Niedziela Natalia , Zimnol Alicja , Lubczyński Michał , Szymbara Piotr , Kubicka-Bączyk Katarzyna , Jaroszewicz Jerzy , Adamczyk-Sowa Monika
Published: August 2023

Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease resulting in cognitive impairment, physical disabilities, and neurological symptoms. Ocrelizumab is an effective drug used in MS treatment. However, it causes a risk of hepatitis B reactivation in anti-HBc positive patients. We describe the impact of entecavir and tenofovir on HBV reactivation during treatment with ocrelizumab.
Materials and methods: Our study included eight patients (aged 18-70 years) with positive anti-HBc antibodies who were diagnosed with MS based on the 2017 McDonald criteria. The subjects were treated with ocrelizumab and were given anti-HBV prophylaxis with nucleoside analogs. The mean time from the beginning of therapy with nucleoside analogs to the initiation of ocrelizumab treatment was 27.5 days. Patients were administered ocrelizumab and none of them was diagnosed with HBV reactivation.
Results: None of the laboratory parameters worsened. No severe adverse effects were observed. These results suggest that entecavir and tenofovir are effective in HBV reactivation prophylaxis. Additionally, positive anti-HBc antibodies do not rule out treatment with ocrelizumab.
Conclusions: In patients with positive anti-HBc antibodies, nucleoside analogs, such as entecavir or tenofovir, should be administered before ocrelizumab administration to reduce the risk of viral reactivation. Further studies on simultaneous treatment with ocrelizumab and nucleoside analogs are required to confirm our findings.

Published: August 2023

Aim: To analyze the clinical condition and evaluate the quality of life of patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP and patients with isolated CP based on the results of testing according to the GSRS and SF-36 questionnaires.
Materials and methods: Were examined 62 patients with comorbid course of Ht and CP. The comparison group consisted of 48 people with isolated CP, the control group consisted of 30 healthy people, comparable in age and sex. The average age of all patients was (51.4±26.7) years. Two questionnaires were used in the study: the GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) questionnaire was used to assess the severity of gastroenterological symptoms and QoL, and the general SF-36 questionnaire was used to assess the clinic and health status.
Results: Analyzing the data of the GSRS questionnaire, it was found that in patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP, reflux, pain and dyspepsia syndromes took the leading place in the clinic of the disease (p>0.05). They should be considered as the main factor in reducing the quality of life in patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP. According to the GSRS questionnaire, the comorbidity of Ht and CP caused a complication of the clinical condition compared to patients with isolated CP of a gastroenterological patient: according to the scale of gastric reflux - by 48.57%, according to the scale of dyspepsia - by 35.84%, diarrhea - by 26.94%, constipation - by 19.93%, abdominal pain – by 40.81% (p<0.05). As a result of the study, a significantly lower level of quality of life was established in patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP.
Conclusions: It has been proven that the quality of life of patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP was significantly lower compared to that of isolated CP (the total difference between groups on all scales of the GSRS questionnaire was 33.59% (p<0.05)). According to the SF-36 questionnaire, the overall quality of life of patients with a comorbid course of Ht and CP, compared to the group of patients with isolated CP, was reduced by 34.9% and 20.9% on the scales of physical and psychological health (р<0, 05).

Published: August 2023

A discussion of Islamic economics has previously been introduced in the fields of science and society. In the midst of numerous traditional social and economic systems based on secular materialism, Islamic economics is a reality that continues to demonstrate its excellence. Islamic economics is likewise a scientific reality that consistently distinguishes itself from social science constellations founded on atheism and even secularism. Islamic economics is a new force within these two streams that is developing into a mature, independent system and discourse in scientific thinking. Its existence is a culmination of long-lasting intellectual attempts in the history of the Muslims as well as a reaction to the inequity of the contemporary socio-economic system.

The pharmaceutical landscape has undergone a transformative shift due to emerging technologies, leading to a projected value of USD 405.52 billion for the global pharmaceutical manufacturing market in 2020. Brazil, representing 2% of the global pharmaceutical market, boasts a comprehensive public health system called Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), ensuring universal health coverage. However, the public and private health sectors in Brazil operate independently, with 23% of Brazilians possessing private health insurance plans. Regulated by the Brazilian Drug Market Regulation Chamber (CMED), which controls drug prices based on international retail prices and other factors, the pharmaceutical market in Brazil faces significant challenges in maintaining the sustainability of the Brazilian health-care system, particularly due to the high costs of cancer medications, such as pembrolizumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan. This study aims to assess the budgetary impact of expanding indications for pembrolizumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan in Brazil after their initial registration by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency. Utilizing epidemiological data from the National Cancer Institute (INCA) and clinical trial data, we estimated the eligible patient populations and associated costs for these medications. Trastuzumab deruxtecan’s eligible patient population increased from 383 to 23,000 across various indications, resulting in a total cost increase from USD 90.6 million to USD 5.0 billion. Similarly, pembrolizumab’s eligible patient population expanded from 1796 to 99,544 for multiple indications, causing the total cost increase from USD 121.1 million to USD 6.7 billion. The study highlights the substantial expansions in indications and patient eligibility for trastuzumab deruxtecan and pembrolizumab in Brazil, with significant budgetary implications potentially jeopardizing the health-care system’s sustainability. To ensure the long-term sustainability of health-care systems and to provide equitable access to optimal treatments, it is crucial for policymakers to monitor and adjust drug prices following their initial registration. Policymakers must be aware of these challenges and consider them in health-care policy development and decision-making processes.
The Atomic Arrangement of the Sherwoodite Structural Unit: Redefinition of the Sherwoodite Vanadoaluminate Heteropoly Complex as [AlV4+V5+12O39]11−
Authors: Hughes John M. , Kampf Anthony R. , Nash Barbara P. , Marty Joe
Published: August 2023

Sherwoodite, putatively Ca4.5(AlV5+12V4+2O40)·28H2O, was among the early naturally occurring polyoxometalates to be reported from the Uravan Mineral Belt; the ideal formula of sherwoodite is here redefined as Ca5.5[AlV4+V5+12O39]·28H2O. In an earlier preliminary structure report (R = 22%), researchers defined the composition of vanadoaluminate heteropoly complex in sherwoodite as (AlV4+,5+14O40)n−, the first natural occurrence of that polyoxometalate cluster. The cluster forms a framework around intermolecular channels that contain disordered arrays of H2O and charge-balancing Ca ions. A detailed structure study described herein [a = 27.9085(7), c = 13.8090(5), space group I41/amd, R1 < 6%] reveals new details of the vanadoaluminate heteropoly complex, indicating that it crystallizes as a structural variant of the putative (AlV4+,5+14O40)n− vanadoaluminate complex, [AlV4+V5+12O39]11−. That variant is derived through the random removal of one of the two apical vanadate octahedra, elucidating the cause of difficulties in the refinement of the preliminary structure report. The [AlV4+V5+12O39]11− complex is capped on one end by a Ca atom that bonds to four octahedral apices in a half-occupied site, and on the opposite end by the V1 and O1 atoms in half-occupied sites, similar to the compound potassium 13-vanadanomangate(IV). The capping octahedron is the locus of the V4+ ions in the mixed-valence complex. New electron microprobe analyses yielded an empirical formula, on the basis of (V4+V5+12), of (Ca4.26Mg1.09Na0.35K0.04Sr0.03)[Al0.87(V4+V5+12)O39]·28.15 H2O.

En un mundo digitalizado, los sistemas de control son fundamentales en campos que van desde la automatización hasta los vehículos autónomos. Tradicionalmente, estos sistemas se basan en tecnologías robustas como PLC, DAQ, etc. pero su costo es elevado cuando se requieren soluciones para problemas específicos. Como alternativa, las plataformas de hardware de código abierto ofrecen una opción asequible y flexible para implementar sistemas de control sofisticados a un costo inferior. Al adoptar técnicas de control modernas como MPC (Control Predictivo Modelado) y ANN (Redes Neuronales Artificiales), estas soluciones pueden alcanzar nuevos niveles de precisión y eficiencia en términos de exactitud y robustez. La combinación de Arduino con técnicas de control modernas puede ser significativamente más económica en comparación con el hardware con licencia, rompiendo barreras de costo en cuanto a la flexibilidad para evaluar sistemas de control, ya que facilitan la experimentación y la iteración rápida, lo que permite probar nuevas ideas y técnicas de control con bajo riesgo y costo. Finalmente, al combinar hardware de código abierto con MPC y ANN, se logra una gran adaptabilidad, ya que los sistemas basados en ANN pueden "aprender" y adaptarse a condiciones cambiantes, lo que no es posible con sistemas de control tradicionales como PID.

Authors: MENEKŞE BEŞER Dilek , SAHİN Dilek
Published: August 2023

Aim: To investigate the fetal thymic-thoracic ratio in pregnancies complicated with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).

Materials and Method: This case-control study included 26 pregnant women diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD) and 26 healthy pregnant women at 28-40 gestational weeks. The control group was selected from uncomplicated pregnancies matched by gestational age.

Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms are widespread health risks associated with drinking water. This study evaluated the physicochemical parameters and bacteriological quality of the stream and well water using standard protocols. The bacteria were identified by conventional and molecular methods. Antibiotic susceptibility and location of antibiotic resistance markers (ARMs) were determined using disc diffusion and acridine orange, respectively. The highest mean Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Counts (THBC), Total Coliform Counts (TCC) and Faecal Coliform Counts (FCC) from the stream water was 4.3 ± 0.3×106, 8.9 ± 0.0×105, and 3.5 ± 0.1×104 (CFU mL-1), respectively. The well water had mean TCC ranging between 2.8 ± 0.0×103 and 2.1 ± 0.1×104 (CFU mL-1). Six bacterial genera: Staphyloccocus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Shigella were isolated. The mean temperature of the water ranged from 26.0 ± 0.3oC to 27.0 ± 0.1oC. The highest mean dissolved oxygen, total hardness, sulphate and magnesium was 24.0 ± 1.0, 40.1 ± 0.8, 11.0± 1.0, and 67.0 ± 1.5 (mg L-1), respectively. The results showed that ≥ 66.7 S. aureus were Levofloxacin and Streptomycin sensitive; between 45.5 and 68.1% of the isolates were Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol resistant, while 81.8% exhibited multidrug resistance. Escherichia coli EcSW3, E. aerogenes EeWW2, K. pneumoniae KpSW3, and S. aureus SaSW had their entire ARMs located on the plasmids with the molecular sizes ˂ 2.027 Kbp. This study showed that the stream and well water harboured bacteria with some ARMs on plasmids, indicating the possibility of horizontal transfer of antibiotic-resistant genes among the bacteria. In addition, it showed the necessity to enlighten the rural populace on the importance of cleaning the surroundings near water sources so as to prevent water-borne diseases.
Related-key attacks on the compression function of Streebog

Атаки со связанными ключами на блочные шифры небезосновательно считаются нереалистичными. На практике, насколько это возможно, избегают ситуаций, когда между секретными ключами существует известное противнику соотношение. Несмотря на это, связанные ключи напрямую используются во многих ключевых хэш-функциях. Это особенно верно для HMAC-Стрибог, в котором известные константы и выбираемые параметры суммируются с секретным ключом. Связь между ключами определяется сложением по модулям $2$ и $2^n$. Стойкость HMAC сводится к свойствам используемой функции сжатия, поэтому рассматриваются ее свойства в модели связанных ключей. В качестве первичного анализа предложены методы восстановления ключа для 10 и 11 (из 12) раундов функции сжатия хэш-функции «Стрибог». Результат показывает, что «Стрибог» стоек к атакам даже в столь благоприятной для противника модели.
Measurement of Noise Emitted by Accelerating Highway Vehicles
Authors:   Light Vehicle Exterior Sound Level Standards Committee
Published: August 2023

This SAE Standard is equivalent to ISO Standard 362 - 1997 except for the differences detailed in Appendix A, and includes the modifications adopted by WP 29 in ECE R51 Revision 1 and EEC 92/97 and EEC 96/20.

This document specifies an engineering method for measuring the noise emitted by accelerating highway vehicles of all types (except motorcycles) in intermediate gears with full utilization of the available engine power.

The method is designed to meet the requirements of simplicity and reproducibility of results under realistic vehicle operating conditions.

Measurements relate to operating conditions of the vehicle which give the highest noise level consistent with urban driving and which lead to reproducible noise emissions. Therefore, an acceleration test at full throttle from a stated engine or vehicle speed is specified.

The test method calls for an acoustical environment which can only be obtained in an extensive open space. Such conditions can usually be provided for:

a

Measurements at the manufacturing stage

b

Measurements at official testing stations

Measurements must be carried out in an acoustical environment which fulfill the requirements stated in this document. It should be noted that spot checking of vehicles chosen at random can rarely be made in an ideal acoustical environment. If measurements have to be carried out on the road in an acoustical environment which does not fulfill the requirements stated in this document, it should be recognized that the results obtained may deviate appreciably from the results obtained using the specified conditions.

The results obtained by this method give an objective measure of the noise emitted under prescribed conditions of test. However, it is necessary to consider the fact that the subjective appraisal of the annoyance of different classes of motor vehicles is not simply related to the indications of a sound level meter. The motorcycles are covered in other SAE documents that prescribe an operating mode that is more representative of actual use.

Authors: Roggero Jorge Luis
Published: August 2023

En este artículo, aceptando la “hipótesis extravagante” formulada por Miguel Abensour sobre la productiva articulación entre ética y política en Levinas, y teniendo en cuenta la continuación del trabajo levinasiano en la propuesta de Marion sobre la cuestión del amor y la llamada, introduciremos un análisis de la novela de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, Las aventuras de la China Iron. El objetivo del texto es tratar de dar cuenta de la dimensión política y jurídica de la hermenéutica del amor en relación con el problema de la constitución de la comunidad.
Ave Maris Stella: el cuidado en el silencio
Authors: González Hernández Jorge Manuel
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad exponer las características del cuidado en el silencio que es propio de la conciencia cristiana y que reconocemos en la afectividad encarnada en la persona de María. Esta encarnación caracteriza la esperanza cristiana que siempre es vital y que se presenta en el modo de actos silenciosos asumidos como deberes que no exigen reflectores para sí y que adquieren la forma de la cordialidad y la cortesía al tiempo que suscitan un sentido de comunión y producen comunidad. En breve, nuestra intención es exponer la perspectiva cristiana en relación al cuidado y su encarnación diaria en los distintos ámbitos humanos, con el propósito de ofrecer una salida al inmanentismo que caracteriza la vida contemporánea y que enfatiza la importancia de la experiencia inmediata y la vida presente, en detrimento de las perspectivas históricas y trascendentes y a la vez se re-conozca – es un trabajo que cada quién debe realizar para sí – la esperanza de lo vivo que se concreta en actos desde el amor en Cristo hacia todo y hacia todos antes de que, como diría Chesterton, se advenga un espíritu permanente de publicidad irredenta de lo muerto. Se concluye el artículo afirmando que la Esperanza cristiana sólo puede ser cumplida en el momento del encuentro entre la conciencia y su contingencia primordial: o se entrega a las ofertas de la razón tecnificada o se entrega a la Promesa de salvación eterna.
