¿Mimetismo o cambio en los debates electorales televisados por la presencia de las mujeres?
Authors: González-Hernández Esther , Rosado-Villaverde Cecilia
Published: April 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación centra su atención en una cuestión novedosa que se ha introducido en la escena política en España a partir del año 2015, con la crisis del bipartidismo: la presencia de mujeres en los debates electorales televisados. Para ello, este artículo analiza cuáles han sido las etapas de construcción de la imagen política a través de los diferentes medios de difusión para después adentrarse en los debates televisados en España, haciendo una especial mención a los debates donde han aparecido mujeres. Es por esta razón que se habla expresamente de los debates autonómicos, por su alta presencia de mujeres. Finalmente, con toda esta información, las autoras reflexionan sobre los diferentes elementos que desde esta óptica afectan al Estado constitucional de Derecho, llegando a definir los nuevos parámetros interpretativos a aplicar en la materia tratada en estas páginas.
¿El retorno de la Revolución Ciudadana? Observaciones de los comicios seccionales 2023 en Ecuador
Authors: Castro Suasnavas Nicolas , Hidalgo Albuja Patricia Elizabeth
Published: April 2023

El presente artículo analiza los comicios seccionales y de referéndum, realizados el pasado 5 de febrero de 2023 en Ecuador. A partir de la publicación oficial de resultados, se construyó el relato respecto al gran ganador de la contienda: el correísmo. Sin embargo, cuando se examinan de cerca los datos, esta percepción queda en entredicho ya que las victorias, en promedio, se dieron con cerca del 30% de respaldo del electorado –cifra que no ha crecido en los últimos años–. En esa línea, destacan los problemas que enfrenta la oposición para construir una identidad política más allá del rechazo al expresidente Rafael Correa.

A re-evaluation of evidence raises questions about the fasting migration hypothesis for Swainson’s Hawk (Buteo swainsoni)
Authors: Bechard Marc J. , Sarasola Jose H. , Woodbridge Brian
Published: April 2023

We examined the fasting migration hypothesis for Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo swainsoni) by estimating the length, duration, and speed of the migration between North and South America and measuring changes in their body masses at various times throughout the year. We instrumented 34 adult Swainson’s Hawks with satellite radios on their breeding grounds in western North America to determine the duration, length, and speed of the migration. Migrating south at 188 km/day, it took Swainson’s Hawks 51 days to complete their 13504 km migration to their austral summer grounds. Averaging only 150 km/day on their return migration, it took them 60 days to complete the shorter 11952 km migration back to North America. Adult male and female Swainson’s Hawks had average body masses of 872 g and 1131 g, respectively, when they departed from North America in September and their body masses upon arrival in Argentina averaged 759 g for adult males and 933 g for adult females, indicating they lost only an average of 18% of their body masses during migration. Adult male and female Swainson’s Hawks had body masses of 792 g and 1013 g, respectively, in February prior to their departure from Argentina and they returned to the breeding grounds in North America weighing 802 g and 1087 g in April. Our results indicate that the fasting migration model does not predict the actual body masses of Swainson’s Hawks during the migration season and it should be modified to account for either lower energy expenditures during migration or the possibility that the birds use a stopover strategy during migration, feeding and regaining, or maintaining, fat stores along the migration route.
Uso de isótopos estables para determinar conectividad migratoria en aves: alcances y limitaciones
Authors: Torres Dowdall Julián , Farmer Adrian , Bucher Enrique H.
Published: April 2023

La necesidad de determinar la conectividad migratoria en diversas especies de aves ha generado el surgimiento de numerosas técnicas de marcado para determinar el origen geográfico de individuos. El uso de la composición de isótopos estables en tejidos animales es una de las técnicas que más se desarrollaron en los últimos tiempos. Su uso se basa, primero, en que los valores isotópicos de diferentes elementos químicos varían espacialmente debido a procesos naturales y de origen humano. Segundo, en que un individuo, al alimentarse, asimila y eventualmente refleja en sus tejidos la composición isotópica del sitio donde se está alimentando. El tejido más utilizado en este tipo de análisis es el de las plumas remeras, ya que, al crecer, asimilan la composición isotópica del alimento, y luego permanecen metabólicamente inactivas hasta el próximo evento de muda. Aunque esta técnica ha sido exitosamente aplicada en distintas especies de aves, la variabilidad observada entre individuos limita de cierta forma su precisión. Esta variabilidad puede ser producto de diferentes procesos que afectan el cambio isotópico entre la dieta y los tejidos de la especie de interés, de desplazamientos durante el periodo de muda o de variaciones en la línea de base isotópica (cambios en los valores isotópicos de hidrógeno en las precipitaciones). Conocer y entender las fuentes de error puede ayudar a diseñar mejores estudios que minimicen la variabilidad y a desarrollar mejores modelos predictivos para determinar el origen geográfico de un individuo.
Roosts and migrations of swallows
Authors: Winkler David W.
Published: April 2023

Swallows of the north temperate zone display a wide variety of territorial behaviour during the breeding season, but as soon as breeding is over, they all appear to adopt a pattern of independent diurnal foraging interleaved with aggregation every night in dense roosts. Swallows generally migrate during the day, feeding on the wing. On many stretches of their annual journeys, their migrations can thus be seen as the simple spatial translation of nocturnal roost sites with foraging routes straightening out to connect them. However, swallows that must make long journeys over ecological barriers clearly fly at night as well as in the day, and many suggestions indicate that there is considerable complexity in the altitude and bearing of flights even during the day. There are especially intriguing indications that much swallow migration may take place high out of sight of ground observers with movements near the ground often associated with foraging in passage. Provided that roost sites can be reliably found, swallow migration can be extremely flexible, and there are interesting contrasts in the biogeography and phenological flexibility of swallows compared to other passerine birds. Even within the swallows, there is considerable interspecific and intraspecifc variability in the distances of their annual migrations, and we are only just beginning to understand the biological causes and consequences of this variation. The profusion of Doppler weather radar stations in the eastern United States has allowed the characterization in considerable detail of the North American distributions of Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) and Purple Martins (Progne subis) throughout the non-breeding season. Evaluating the relative roles of movements and mortality in creating these patterns remains an important challenge for further research.
Towards a mechanistic interpretation of bird migration in South America
Authors: Jahn Alex E. , Levey Douglas J. , Johnson Jennifer E. , Mamani Ana Maria , Davis Susan E.
Published: April 2023

Research to date has demonstrated that bird migration is comprised of highly diverse and plastic behavioural patterns. Our objective is to highlight the importance of studying mechanisms underlying these patterns in austral migrants. We focus on the high incidence of overlap in breeding and non-breeding ranges as a particularly thought-provoking pattern. We then explore the opportunities afforded by partial migration theory to elucidate the mechanisms underlying seasonal range overlap. We propose that a mechanistic understanding of migration in South America will both provide a deeper appreciation of the ecology, physiology and evolution of migratory species in the New World, and improve the scientific foundation for their conservation.
Annual survival of Red Knots (Calidris canutus rufa) using the San Antonio Oeste stopover site is reduced by domino effects involving late arrival and food depletion in Delaware Bay
Authors: González Patricia M. , Baker Allan J. , Echave María Eugenia
Published: April 2023

Ecological conditions in breeding and non-breeding areas of migrant birds have been linked to their annual survival and production of young, but the role of stopover sites is under-appreciated. Through banding studies and censuses along the flyway from Tierra del Fuego to the Canadian Arctic, the drastic decline in 2000–2001 of Red Knots (Calidris canutus rufa) population summering in southern South America in the northern winter was shown to be related to the overharvesting of horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) in Delaware Bay, USA, their last stopover site before reaching their breeding grounds, and to the late arrival of the birds at this site. In San Antonio Oeste, Argentina, where 25–50% of the Tierra del Fuego Red Knots population congregates every northward migration season, annual survival of the cohort of experienced birds banded in March 1998 was impacted a year later than the general decline. Knots marked at San Antonio Oeste earlier in March arrived in Delaware Bay on average before those marked 15 days later. Additionally, early migrating knots with active body moult in San Antonio Oeste exhibited a higher return rate in the following years than late and non-moulting birds. Since the decline, birds arriving late in Delaware Bay have been at increased risk of not being able to refuel properly or on time because food is no longer superabundant at that stopover site. These domino effects indicate that there are fitness consequences to individual migration strategies adopted by birds at austral summering and stopover sites, which can be amplified by compressed timing in Delaware Bay when food is depleted at this final stopover site.
Abundancia y riqueza específica en un ensamble de aves marinas y costeras del sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: García Germán O. , Gómez Laich Agustina
Published: April 2023

Se estudió la abundancia y la composición específica del ensamble de aves marinas y playeras de la zona intermareal de Bahía de los Vientos (cerca de Necochea, provincia de Buenos Aires). Se eligieron tres estaciones de muestreo, las cuales fueron visitadas dos veces por mes durante un año (entre julio de 2005 y junio de 2006). En cada visita se realizó un censo de punto de 10 min, registrando el número de individuos de todas las especies de aves marinas y playeras presentes en un área de 0.125 km2. Se observó un total de 7746 aves pertenecientes a 17 especies y 11 familias. El ensamble estuvo dominado por especies de la familia Laridae, seguida en orden de importancia por Haematopodidae, Phalacrocoracidae y Chionidae. Las especies con mayor frecuencia de ocurrencia e importancia relativa fueron la Gaviota Capucho Café (Larus maculipennis) y la Gaviota Cocinera (Larus dominicanus). La abundancia varió de manera significativa a lo largo de los meses, mostrando valores máximos en marzo y mínimos en octubre. Este último fue el mes con mayor riqueza específica. Este trabajo aporta información que contribuye a ampliar el conocimiento de la composición de los ensambles de aves costeras del litoral marítimo bonaerense.
Presencia y nidificación del Cauquén Colorado Chloephaga rubidiceps en la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina
Authors: Imberti Santiago , Amorós Carlos D. , Cadierno Sonia A.
Published: April 2023

La población continental–fueguina del Cauquén Colorado (Chloephaga rubidiceps) se encuentra en peligro de extinción, según se desprende de varios trabajos que han evaluado su situación en Tierra del Fuego, la XII Región (Chile) y los sitios de invernada en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Este trabajo presenta información inédita sobre distribución, abundancia y nidificación de la especie en el sur de la provincia de Santa Cruz, un área que había permanecido al margen de aquellos estudios. Se estima que la zona podría albergar unos 70–100 individuos, incrementando potencialmente la población total estimada en un 10% y constituyendo la única zona donde la especie nidifica con regularidad en Argentina. Se aportan datos obtenidos durante los últimos once años, con comentarios sobre su biología reproductiva, hábitat y problemas de conservación.
Distribución latitudinal y altitudinal de tres especies del género Basileuterus en el noroeste argentino
Authors: Capllonch Patricia
Published: April 2023

Se presenta información sobre la distribución latitudinal y altitudinal de Basileuterus signatus, Basileuterus culicivorus y Basileuterus bivittatus en el noroeste argentino. Fueron capturados 322 individuos de las tres especies, a lo que se sumaron observaciones de campo y la revisión de ejemplares de museo. Los resultados mostraron que Basileuterus culicivorus y Basileuterus bivittatus se excluyen latitudinalmente, y que Basileuterus signatus y Basileuterus bivittatus se segregan en los rangos altitudinales que utilizan. Tanto la exclusión competitiva como el ingreso secuencial de las especies al área durante el Pleistoceno podrían explicar estos patrones de distribución.
Temporary disruption in language processing reflected as multiscale temporal discoordination in a recurrent network
Authors:   Department of Cognitive and Information Sciences University of California, Merced Merced, CA 95343, USA, Nguyen Benjamin , Spivey Michael J.
Published: April 2023

By juxtaposing time series analyses of activity measured from a fully recurrent network undergoing disrupted processing and of activity measured from a continuous meta-cognitive report of disruption in real-time language comprehension, we present an opportunity to compare the temporal statistics of the state-space trajectories inherent to both systems. Both the recurrent network and the human language comprehension process appear to exhibit long-range temporal correlations and low entropy when processing is undisrupted and coordinated. However, when processing is disrupted and discoordinated, they both exhibit more short-range temporal correlations and higher entropy. We conclude that by measuring human language comprehension in a dense-sampling manner similar to how we analyze the networks, and analyzing the resulting data stream with nonlinear time series analysis techniques, we can obtain more insight into the temporal character of these discoordination phases than by simply marking the points in time at which they peak.
Impact of methotrexate treatment on the functionality of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: González Reyes Yodenny
Published: April 2023

A study was conducted to evaluate functional capacity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who received methotrexate treatment at a specific medical center during 2013. The study was conducted through a prospective and longitudinal analysis in 46 patients, who received subcutaneous methotrexate in doses of 12.5 to 25 milligrams weekly for one year. Several variables were evaluated, such as age, sex, school level, activity level and functional capacity. The results of the study were presented in contingency tables and percentage analysis, means and Chi-square test were applied. It was observed that 64.3% of the cases were women between 36 and 65 years of age with secondary or pre-university schooling. In addition, a significant improvement in the functional capacity of the patients was observed after methotrexate treatment, with 54.8% of the patients presenting a low level of activity and 14.3% in remission.
Asbestos as a socio-environmental issue: from integrated material management to promoting public health and the (built) environment in the Colombian context
Authors: Marín Vanegas Daniel Felipe , Gil Velásquez Daniel , Agudelo Peláez Daniel
Published: April 2023

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral with very good physical and chemical properties, which led to its increased use in the automotive and construction industries in the 1970s. At the time, it was a high-quality, low-cost solution, but over time, its negative impact on health has been demonstrated, leading to what has been called the "silent pandemic": a material declared a Type 1 carcinogen by the WHO. This pandemic is the result of ignoring its harmful effects, as inhalation of asbestos generates diseases that are currently incurable. The problem begins when asbestos reaches the end of its useful life in installed systems (many of which have been in place since the last century), making intervention urgent to solve a situation that is emerging as a socio-environmental problem: an environmental threat that impacts human and other living beings.
Comprehensive management of currently installed asbestos is the most efficient means of mitigating the environmental and biological risks associated with health, both human and ecological. Many countries have prescribed protocols related to its removal, but in the Colombian context, there is a lack of protocols for its identification, diagnosis, removal, and final disposal, although pilot studies are being developed at the local level.
Given all of this, asbestos has become a complex socio-environmental problem that must be addressed interdisciplinary in our context, studying its life cycle in all phases, in order to migrate from a linear and open cycle to a non-linear, closed, and circular one. This work aims to contribute to the construction of solutions through comprehensive material management for sustainable treatment that addresses the situation as an environmental health problem, i.e., a pandemic that impacts the built (technological) and ecological environments.
Conservation biology, ecocentrism and utilitarianism
Authors: Lamberti Matias , Rodríguez Esteban Hernán , Klier Gabriela , Di Pasquo Federico
Published: April 2023

Conservation biology emerged in the 1980s as a purportedly interdisciplinary field of study (Callicott and Frodeman, 2009, Van Dyke and Lamb, 2020). In its origins, the objective was to provide principles and tools to preserve biodiversity (Soule, 1985). Among these principles, a series of normative postulates are proposed that would rest on the ecocentric ethics of deep ecology (Naess, 1973), which seeks to displace humans from the center of moral consideration and rather treat all ecological ensembles and their members equally. Conservationism has shown an important development from those pioneering works to the present day. In fact, in recent times, approaches have emerged that attempt to dissociate themselves from traditional conservation biology, to the point of proposing another field: conservation science (Kareiva and Marvier, 2012). This shift implies a conservation that centrally considers the utilitarian value of biodiversity and ecosystem services for humans. The aim of this paper is to analyze comparatively these two major moments of conservationism, inquiring to what extent they recover the ecocentric ideals that were originally held. By means of a discursive analysis, we will try to show that both traditional conservation biology and the new conservation sciences do not fully recover that ecocentric view since, to different extents, they present important utilitarian "marks" in their discourses. Finally, we will discuss some implications of this for conservationism.
Foresight as an interdisciplinary field: approaches and practices
Authors: Vitale Gutierrez Javier Alejandro
Published: April 2023

The current world is witnessing profound changes in social, technological, environmental, economic, political, and cultural orders. In this context, the decision-making process is highly vulnerable due to the high uncertainty of the studied system, and what is at stake in the decision is very high. This situation is called post-normal science by Silvio Funtowicz and Jerome Ravetz. These changes demonstrate that the medium and long term begins to matter, and foresight studies are an essential input for the design of public policies. This paper reflects on the definition of foresight as an interdisciplinary field. The text revolves around two central issues. On the one hand, foresight as a field of intersection between future studies, public policies, and strategic planning. On the other hand, foresight as knowledge production related to the futures of various fields of application and their unavoidable dialogue of knowledge and wisdom. It starts with foresight as a discipline of the social sciences in order to analyze complex systems that allow understanding the current situation, identifying trends and future uncertainties, constructing scenarios, and analyzing their strategic implications. The paper presents some basic notions about foresight as a social production of knowledge. Then, it presents the convergence of the various and different disciplines that feed the field of knowledge. Finally, it presents a practical case of application in socio-territorial tensions in order to analyze the interactions and interrelationships between foresight and interdisciplinarity. Among the main findings, the need to have situated conceptual approaches and management technologies for the conceptualization of foresight as an interdisciplinary field is highlighted.
The peri-urban area north of Mar del Plata: urban and environmental problems from the perspective of its inhabitants
Authors: Zulaica María Laura , Ruiz Fabiana
Published: April 2023

The peri-urban areas of the city of Mar del Plata exhibit urban and environmental issues that are generally derived from growth processes with little planning. Although many problems are common, perceptions show differences associated with the particular characteristics of each territory. Based on previous studies and assuming an interdisciplinary approach, this study analyzes the urban and environmental problems of the peri-urban area located north of the La Tapera stream from the perspective of the inhabitants. To do this, using a collective mapping carried out in the area as a basis, a survey was developed that investigates the state and concern regarding the following topics: public services and infrastructure; mobility and transportation; housing conditions; green spaces; social, cultural, and productive equipment; environment; security and violence. The lowest score regarding the state corresponds to green spaces, while the greatest concern is reflected in environmental aspects. However, the results obtained show differential perceptions in the neighborhoods that make up the area. For example, the score relative to the state of the set of topics reveals more critical conditions in Las Dalias, and the concern for mobility and transportation is more evident in Félix U. Camet and Parque Peña, for the environment in Las Dalias, for security in Parque Camet, and for housing conditions in Alto Camet. We hope that the preliminary analysis arising from this study will provide the basis for generating interventions that respond to the problems perceived by the community itself.
Building interdisciplinary knowledge from critical-decolonial experiences in education
Authors: Schunck Priscila Janet
Published: April 2023

The epistemological, methodological, and political shift proposed in various epistemic fields allows for the reconstruction of new discourses and knowledge committed to new re-readings around decoloniality and the need to appeal to interdisciplinary knowledge about reality.
The documentary research is based on situated experiences in research projects carried out at the secondary and tertiary education levels, from which different proposals for interdisciplinary approaches and knowledge construction emerge that start from the analysis of colonial signs and a structure of universal knowledge that strengthens the criterion of power-knowledge coloniality.
The adoption of a homogenizing and hegemonic language and system of practices takes a toll on the production and legitimization of knowledge and the institutionalization of control devices.
Constructing knowledge from complex and interdisciplinary thinking entails a repositioning and recognition of the transformative capacity of subjects as active producers of knowledge situated in the emergence of a new alternative posture and the visibility of absences, as well as in the search for a praxis oriented towards creating and building new social, political, cultural, and thinking conditions.
Revising scientific-conceptual constructions, disciplinary statutes, and objects constructed by the Social Sciences towards the possibility of building interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary proposals from a decolonial perspective that cooperates in breaking the unique, fragmented, and universal history that characterized modernity and beginning to understand that the knowledge of the past recognizes other local and multiple dimensions.
Science and technology in health: the creation of mRNA vaccines from the social construction of technologies
Authors: Castiglione Paloma
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to analyze the process of creating mRNA technology in the development of vaccines used during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of the social construction of technologies. Specifically, it seeks to understand the socio-political conditions that enabled the development of a new vaccine technology by identifying the context, actors involved, and problems/solutions associated with its creation. The study was conducted through a qualitative methodology, using bibliographic analysis of primary and secondary sources. Considering that technology is an expression of social values and interests - where technological objects are developed within systems in which designers and regulators have agency - the paper suggests that the creation of mRNA vaccines can be understood as the result of tensions between four relevant actors (pharmaceutical corporations, governments, scientists, and social movements) that seem to play a key role; as a result of the tensions generated by their particular interests in the technological development process analyzed here. Finally, this article argues that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic managed to channel a series of isolated scientific advances over time that vindicated the relevance of basic research, demonstrating that re-adopting old discoveries can still represent a milestone in global health.
Automation of cognitive processes mediated by social systems
Authors: Alves Salgueiro Tomas , Caramés María Ayelén , Fernandez Larrosa Pablo Nicolas
Published: April 2023

Can social systems influence cognitive processes? This question opens up the possibility of thinking about cognition as the individual expression of the interface between physiology and society. The former, guided by genetic processes under developmental constraints, accounts for the neuronal plasticity of the Central Nervous System, which allows diversity in the other level: the social/cultural. Can this level modulate the former? And more specifically: What would be the modulatory mechanisms of capitalist and patriarchal social systems on cognitive processes? Here we propose that these mechanisms involve the automation of cognitive processes, especially in vulnerable social sectors, to the detriment of more reflective processes. Dual process theories propose that cognitive processes can be automatic (system 1) or reflective (system 2). Some of these theories propose that the latter can operate with both the original and the resulting information of the automatic process, affirming or modifying the initial result. The persistence of stereotypes, implicit access to a large volume of information, the absence of social criteria for classifying it as relevant ("post-truth"), the reproduction of institutions as instances of authority and power, and an increasingly demanding, precarious, and pathological daily and work life (chronic stress, burn-out, depression, etc.) are potential conditions that - we hypothesize - could favor a tendency towards the automation of cognitive processes, mainly among workers in general, and women in particular.
Sharing research results: meanings and feelings in the return to the hospital
Authors: Gelman Constantin Francisco , Sy Anahí , Derossi Paula , Sapienza Cinthia , Moglia Brenda
Published: April 2023

During the pandemic, as part of a transdisciplinary research project, we designed and developed the project "Transitioning from the pandemic to the post-pandemic: challenges and possibilities of new scenarios in public health, from the narratives of its workers" (PISAC-COVID 19 call), aimed at understanding the care experiences of health workers in the second level of complexity in the southern conurbation. In this framework, semi-structured interviews were conducted, aimed at recovering personal narratives, mostly at a distance, through virtual communication platforms and some in-person interviews. Towards the end of 2022, we had the opportunity to approach the hospitals to share the results of the analysis of those narrated experiences, in collective activities and already in a new socio-epidemiological reality.
This paper seeks to analyze that experience of presenting results from the intersection of meanings and emotions that it generated: the recognition of workers in the conclusions enunciated as a form of validation of scientific knowledge, the dispute over the "moral/s" or lessons learned from the experience as premises for participation, transformation, or organization initiatives in the hospitals, the "catharsis" as a byproduct of the research process, the tensions between the voices recovered by the research and the voices authorized by institutional hierarchies. What does transdisciplinary research in public health on healthcare workers produce, and what can it produce? Who benefits from the knowledge produced? What specific contributions can this type of presentation experience make, compared to other instances arising from research of this kind, such as presenting results to academic peers, to officials, or in acts of tribute? What are the real possibilities for presenting results to authorities and workers? After the crisis, what time and openness do they have to listen to their own voices in a pandemic?
Contributions of feminist geography to the implementation of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)
Authors: Moreno Magdalena
Published: April 2023

This presentation proposes a reflection on the dialogues between Geography and the field of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). The exposition is divided into five sections. Initially, a brief overview is presented on the main contributions and political positions of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Law, enacted in 2006 in Argentina, and the role that schools play in relation to it. Next, the current state of implementation of CSE in geography education is analyzed, and the results that demonstrate the incipient guarantee of this right are presented. In response to this challenge, the main contributions and theoretical-methodological perspectives of gender and sexuality geographies developed in the scientific field are described. In a fourth section, and with an eye toward one of the objectives of Comprehensive Sexuality Education, which establishes the transmission of precise, reliable, and up-to-date knowledge, examples are proposed that show the possible - but also necessary - dialogues between the scientific production of feminist geography, feminist movements, the sexual dissidence collective, and the field of Comprehensive Sexuality Education. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of establishing bridges between these areas to contribute to the teaching of geography from a Comprehensive Sexuality Education perspective. Finally, the challenges and questions posed by these dialogues are presented with the aim of reflecting on Comprehensive Sexuality Education policies.
Teaching-learning strategy in the Administration course at the Maranhense Center College - FCMA: focus on emotional intelligence
Authors: Mota de Sousa Eliana Viterbia
Published: April 2023

To address the longing of the Federal Constitution of Brazil of 1988, on December 22, 2017, Brazil gains a Common National Curricular Base, articulated with other countries through World Organizations. This Base seeks to adjust education throughout the country and levels some rights and objectives such as: knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values, which, when mobilized, are fundamental to solve complex demands of daily life, full exercise of citizenship and the world of work, aiming thus at an education integrated with the whole human being, with its complexity and subjectivity. Therefore, this article seeks to emphasize the importance of emotional competence in the teaching of Administration courses at the FCMA College of Maranhense Center, in order to prepare the student for the world of work and is almost exclusively oriented to identify it as indispensable for the training of successful professionals in the management area. In a secondary vein, the teaching-learning strategies by which emotional intelligence competencies are developed lack further analytical depth, especially with regard to the complexity of higher education contexts in Brazil, since the Common National Curricular Base is specific to basic education, and the scope of the variables that the theme assumes at the theoretical and practical level. Therefore, this article unfolds in problematizing, starting from the Administration course, in FCMA, the construction and application of a teaching-learning strategy for the development of emotional competence, facing questions that are fundamental to the success of the objective: How is such competence taught and what is it used for? What teachers and strategies are used to achieve the purposes of the emotional paradigm in Administration? What capacities are observed in students equipped with subjective emotional skills? How to measure this training in attributes related to intelligibility in the curricular and evaluative plan?
Education in times of pandemic: Impact and challenges in higher education at Centro Maranhense, Brazil
Authors: Mota de Sousa Eliana Viterbia
Published: April 2023

This research seeks to emphasize the Brazilian educational structure in times of crisis, such as a pandemic. The Coronavirus pandemic has brought to light the situation of the Brazilian educational system and its weaknesses in the teaching-learning process. Among the various challenges faced by education, the impact of this state of calamity has resulted in school dropout rates. This has always been a focus of concern for schools at all levels of education, including higher education in Brazil, and is now being emphasized and debated in this scenario. Based on this premise, this research aims to measure dropout rates in higher education at Centro Maranhense, before and during the Coronavirus pandemic, demonstrating the results of this phenomenon in higher education. Colleges and universities have suffered various impacts and challenges in 2020 and 2021 due to various reasons, including economic issues, access to digital media, emotional issues of students and teachers, resulting in dropout rates. This consequence maximizes the fragility of students' access to higher education. Therefore, obtaining data that shows the real situation of Centro Maranhense regarding this dropout, whether due to abandonment or withdrawal from courses, is of fundamental importance to portray the reality of higher education students during and post-pandemic, as well as to demonstrate the measures taken to prevent dropout rates. The analysis of these academic data will be relevant for a period of time at the Faculdade do Centro Maranhense- FCMA, which is maintained by a private legal entity for profit, located in the Centro Maranhense region since 2017. This analysis seeks data from 2017 to 2021, making a comparison for each semester, thus demonstrating, in percentage terms, the progression of dropout rates in face-to-face higher education. The result of the research will demonstrate the effectiveness of decision-making and measures adopted to solve this problem.
Resistances and insistences: participation and mobilization in the ethical-political project and social assistance policy
Authors: Both Lizandra Inês
Published: April 2023

The summary refers to the Social Service Final Paper which aims to analyze the processes of participation and mobilization in the Social Assistance Policy, in order to strengthen the principles of democracy, social participation, and mobilization expressed in the Ethical-Political Project (EPP) of Social Service. To achieve this objective, it is essential to articulate reflections on the historical construction of the Social Assistance Policy and the professional project. The scientific relevance of the theme lies in the possibility of provoking an in-depth dialogue on professional work, allowing the recognition of how the EPP is implemented in everyday professional life, presenting important indicators regarding the commitment of social workers to the socialization of information. The Paper is the result of the entire professional training process, especially from the experience of the Mandatory Internship in Social Service I, II, and III, carried out at the Lomba do Pinheiro Extended CRAS, in Porto Alegre, RS. The methodology is guided by historical-dialectical materialism, with a qualitative approach, including bibliographic, documentary, and empirical research, which was conducted through interviews guided by a semi-structured script. The Paper is organized into three chapters, the first of which deals with Social Service, popular participation, and mobilization processes; the second discusses the Social Assistance Policy from the conquests and resistances operated by workers and users; and the last reflects, in an articulated and dialectical way, on Social Service, social assistance, and democratization processes. This study enables us to affirm that there is a professional commitment to mobilization, participation, and democratization processes that are permanently under construction, which need to be strengthened from the professional commitment to the socialization of information and the political-pedagogical dimension.
Emotions and movement in the inter(trans)disciplinary study of human behavior from within

Introduction: the word emotion comes from the Latin emovere, relating it to movement; in the Spanish etymology of Corominas the term mover includes the entry emoción, as associated to conmover, motivo (as related to movement) and motivar, from the Latin motoris or "that moves".
Objective: in our long-standing work with people with Parkinson's disease, we have been developing this emotion-movement relationship from an inter(trans)disciplinary perspective, understanding body movement as an anthropological problem that requires a relational, deep and situated view.
Method: argumentation and theoretical analysis and discussion. The methodological approach is based on mixed method research with elements of autoethnography and participant observation, investigating the problem from within. We appeal to evidence from behavioral and social neuroscience, ecological understanding from health sciences, relational perspective from cognitive anthropology and learning perspective from educational neuroscience.
Results: A key concept is paradoxical kinesia, a behavioral phenomenon where the individual relates to his environment through the synchronization or engagement of the perceptual-motor system with the action qualities of the environment or affordances. What our research suggests is that among the affordances that the environment can offer, social affordances can be highlighted, giving sense to the participation of motivation in the improvement of the movement of people affected with Parkinson's disease.
Conclusions: we suggest that social affordances are as much a component of movement as are the bodily elements and physical-biochemical mechanisms that sustain it.
Construction of discourse coherence and emotions of the comprehender: emotional regulation strategies and decision-making in stressful situations

Published: April 2023

It is common for university students to find themselves in stressful situations related to the need to comprehend discourse and make decisions in relation to their learning. Therefore, emotional regulation is key. These concepts have been widely studied in recent years, but their interplay has not been thoroughly examined. Considering this gap, this paper aims to review the literature and analyze the role of stress and emotional regulation strategies in the impact of cognitive processing involved in decision-making and discourse coherence construction.
To this end, we will first present and describe studies on how stress and emotional regulation affect cognitive processing. Then, we will focus on decision-making processes. Finally, we will analyze the role of emotions, emotional regulation, and stress in the construction of discourse coherence. Finally, we will present conclusions and pending questions for future research.
Transdisciplinarity bonds according to Nicolescu with scientific research
Authors: Galati Elvio
Published: April 2023

A sign of transdisciplinarity is being able to read between the lines, as it captures what is not explicitly stated, what is not said outright. Those seeking clarity should look for contradictions, complementarities, for example, between reason and passion, between different reasons, between quantitative and qualitative approaches, analog and digital methods, between pluri, inter and transdisciplinary parts. Nicolescu introduces meaning into science, through its dimensions of meaning, anti-meaning, and lack of meaning. It is the responsibility of each person to self-generate, in this case, their own method. Faith allows for a leap between levels of reality and knowledge, to build bridges between knowledge, without needing to appropriate them. From a systemic point of view, the greater the use of units of integration of knowledge, with complementarities (triangulations), the greater the probability of predicting actions or system equilibrium. It is worth asking, in each knowledge, what has remained, and what has changed, and what could change or remain when related to other knowledge. It would be appropriate to point out what limits the sciences with which a discipline relates. A level of reality that is not crossed is an epistemological obstacle that has been overcome. Does science develop the causes of its negation, calling for the help of doxa? Have scientific problems given way to transdisciplinary problems? Transdisciplinarity should not be, as it turns the idea into an object, into a discipline, and transdisciplinary must give way to transdisciplining, the verb that puts us into action to seek bridges and relationships. The results are the product of the interaction of levels, for example, of research and profession, which interact in doing science. Freedom allows for circulation between "the lines" of transdisciplinarity.
Photographic images of indigenous communities in contemporary Chilean poetry
Authors: López Torres Lorena
Published: April 2023

This paper analyzes the literary proposals of Chilean poets such as Juan Luis Martínez, Juan Pablo Riveros, and Jaime Huenún, who privilege the intersection between word and image in a deconstructive and questioning approach. From the combination arises a hybrid text that destabilizes the concept of literature and literary canon as a cross-disciplinary approach that nourishes the final text. The photographic image of indigenous communities that is materially incorporated into the textual body of poetry collections comes from archives used for ethnographic and topographical purposes (such as those of the Austrian priest Martin Gusinde, Julius Popper, and the Franciscan company, among others) that serve as a catalyst for reflection on the materialization of ethnographic photography and the material and metaphysical "capture" (Flusser) of the indigenous peoples. The poetic works problematize the photographic act, the revealing character of the image, and its scenic implications in the exhibition of indigenous people in Argentina and Chile. In the works, photography plays an important role as it corroborates, denounces, and gives a face to historical subjects; points to the hunters and situates the historical context under which these acts of possession were carried out (Kay); they are images that violate the Spectator, therefore, making them confront the usurpation and death that weigh on the indigenous peoples, mainly from internal colonization. Photography is violent because it forces the eye to look, not because it shows violent images (Sontag). It is precisely this overwhelming violence of lives and repressive of traditions that is configured as the argumentative line of the poetic texts and the proposed reflection.

Context: Phyllanthus emblica stem barks are rich in antioxidants, but its utilization for antidiabetic and diabetic complications remains understudied. Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of extracts from P. emblica stem barks in improving diabetic nephropathy and hyperlipidemia in vivo. Methods: P. emblica stem bark powder was dried and macerated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol simultaneously. The diabetic condition was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in male Wistar rats. Treatment interventions included the oral administration of metformin (60 mg/kg body weight) or P. emblica stem bark extracts (200 mg/kg) once a day, where the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and total cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. Results: Rats receiving the ethyl acetate extract exhibited a significantly lower FBG than the control (113.7 ± 15.04 versus 195 ± 19.97 mg/dL; p<0.05). Rats treated with ethyl acetate extract and methanol showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol levels with p-values of 0.037 and 0.004, respectively. Cellular damages observed on the histological images of the kidney were found to be significantly attenuated in all treated rats (p<0.001). Conclusions: P. emblica stem bark extracts are efficacious in treating diabetic complications, including nephropathy and hyperlipidemia.
