Published: June 2021

Social distancing policy is applied during the Covid-19 virus pandemic including in Batik Professional Certification Institution in Indonesia. The management should provide services for the participants without meeting them directly. This study aims to reveal the management of Batik competence tests during the Covid-19 virus pandemic. The observation focused on the performance of the administrative staff, assessors, and management staff of the Batik Professional Certification Institutions (PCI). This is a qualitative study. The data were collected through questionnaires distributed to the participants, assessors, and administrators. The research concerns on the role and impact of the use of information system management in the interaction between prospective assessment, participants, assessors, and management of PCI in the professional certification competency test (PCCT). The findings showed that the use of information systems to manage vocational assessment has been effective to inform the assessment schedule to the assessor and participant, bridging the assessment reports, and reminding license expiration to management, so the management has an efficient way to manage the information with this system automation.
РОЛЬ РЕЗИСТИНУ, ІНТЕРЛЕЙКІНУ-1β, ІНТЕРЛЕЙКІНУ-6 ТА ЦЕРУЛОПЛАЗМІНУ У ПАТОГЕНЕЗІ НЕАЛКОГОЛЬНОЇ ЖИРОВОЇ ХВОРОБИ ПЕЧІНКИ У ХВОРИХ НА ЦУКРОВИЙ ДIАБЕТ 2 ТИПУ

З метою з’ясування ролі резистину, ІЛ-1β, ІЛ-6 та церулоплазміну у розвитку НАЖХП та серцевосудинних ускладнень у хворих на ЦД 2 типу, було обстежено 82 хворих на ЦД 2 типу із НАЖХП. Всіх пацієнтів було розподілено на групи залежно від ступеня ураження печінки: в групу 1 (стадія стеатозу) — включено 22 хворих, в групу 2 (стадія стеатогепатиту, НАСГ) — 40 хворих, в групу 3 (стадія фіброзу) — 20 хворих. В контрольну групу було включено 7 хворих на ЦД 2 типу без ураження печінки.На підставі аналізу результатів проведеного дослідження можна констатувати, що адипокін резистин слід розглядати як один з чинників патогенезу НАЖХП у хворих на ЦД 2 типу, а саме як маркер виразності запальних змін печінки у даної категорії хворих. Подальший розвиток захворювання на стадії фіброзу характеризується незначним зменшенням концентрації резистину у сироватці крові, що може свідчити про зменшення процесів запалення на тлі розвитку саме фібротичних змін. Саме на стадії фіброзу резистин односпрямовано корелює з деякими фракціями ліпідів, що підтверджує його роль в атерогенезі та в ризику розвитку серцево-судинних ускладнень ЦД. При розвитку НАЖХП у хворих на ЦД 2 типу рівень прозапальних інтерлейкінів ІL-1β та ІL-6 зростає вже на стадії НАСГ, що віддзеркалює запальні зміни в печінці цих пацієнтів. Подальше недостовірне зростання вмісту інтерлейкінів ІL-1β та ІL-6 в сироватці хворих може свідчити про збереження високого рівня процесу запалення як на стадії власне стеатогепатиту, так і в подальшому, при формуванні фіброзу.Нами не виявлено достовірних відмінностей між рівнями церулоплазміну у хворих на ЦД 2 типу із різними стадіями НАЖХП та за відсутності ураження печінки.

Authors: Maydanyuk E. V. , Vdovenko N. V.
Published: June 2021

The aim of the work was to investigate the effect of intense physical activity on testosterone, cortisol and insulin blood concentration in elite athletes. The study was conducted with the participation of 26 elite athletes of endurance events. This study assessed the resting hormones concentration before exercise and acute response of hormones concentration after intensive physical loads. The influence of intensive physical loads with different direction (strength and speed vs incremental load to VO2 max achievement) was investigated.

The average values of total testosterone in blood serum, measured at rest state before exercise were 28,2 nmol·l-1, 40 minutes after exercise – 19,2 nmol·l-1. The mean concentration of cortisol was 506,2 nmol·l-1, after physical activity – 518,1 nmol·l-1. The average value morning insulin concentration was 6,6 μIU·l-1, after loading 5,6 μIU·l-1. It was established a significant (p = 0.001) decrease of the total testosterone concentration after intensive physical loads; the registered changes in the blood cortisol and insulin concentrations were not statistically significant. A significant correlation was established (p ≤ 0.05) between the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max, ml·min·kg-1) and testosterone concentration (r = 0.76 resting morning concentration, r = 0.87 after intensive physical loads), cortisol (r = 0.69) and insulin (r = 0.51) after exercising.

It was established the differences in testosterone concentration due intensive physical loads with various direction (strength and speed vs incremental load to VO2 max achievement). The significant difference of cortisol and insulin concentration depending the physical test was not found in this study.

Пристосування організму до змін різноманітних чинників довкілля обумовлено системою стресових реакцій, яка визначає індивідуальну реактивність організму та його адаптивні можливості. Проте дисбаланс нейроендокринної системи, викликаний внаслідок дії негативних чинників на ранніх етапах онтогенетичного розвитку організму, може призводити до різноманітних функціональних розладів. Одним із розповсюджених у сучасному житті чинників, який негативно впливає на реактивність нащадків, є батьківське паління. З’ясування впливу батьківського паління під час вагітності на реактивність нащадків у ранній постнатальний період є на сьогодні актуальним питанням. Метою дослідження було дослідити вміст кортикостерону та стан ранового процесу у нащадків-самиць першого покоління на тлі пасивного батьківського тютюнопаління.

Під час проведеного дослідження виявлено, що у відповідь на больове стресове подразнення (механічна рана) рівень кортикостерону у плазмі крові нащадків-щурят на тлі батьківського пасивного паління мав різноспрямований характер і визначався тим, хто з «батьків»-щурів обкурювався та вмістом нікотину та смол у цигарках.

У нащадків-щурят груп, де самець і самиця обкурювалися цигарками з фільтром (ПМБ24, ПМБ48), рівень кортикостерону статистично значуще збільшувався на 19 % (≤ 0,05) та 18 % (≤ 0,05), відповідно, порівняно з групами К24, К48. У нащадків-щурят груп, де обкурювався цигарками з фільтром тільки самець (ПБ24, ПБ48) та обкурювалися цигарками без фільтру самець і самиця, рівень кортикостерону був статистично значуще нижчим контрольних показників на 16 % (≤ 0,05) та 18 % (≤ 0,05) порівняно з групами К24 і К48. Зниження кортикостерону відмічали і у групах ВМБ24, ВМБ48 на 9 % (≤ 0,05) та 15 % (≤ 0,05), відповідно.

Такі порушення балансу кортикостерону у нащадків-самиць, ймовірно, пов’язані з впливом на батьків-щурів (самців та самиць) компонентів тютюнового диму на момент запліднення та ембріогенезу. Наслідки тривалого впливу батьківського пасивного тютюнопаління у щурят-самиць проявилися порушенням фази запалення механічної рани в постнатальний період, що свідчить про зниження їх реактивності на дію компонентів тютюнового диму.

Authors: Gomez-Rios Maria del Carmen , Galvez-Cruz Dora
Published: June 2021

This research presents long-term projects. Applies stochastic models using Monte Carlo simulation to identify the impact that changes have in the input parameters on the output variable (LCOEE). Uses tornado analysis to identify the impact of the input variables. The results show that; in thermoelectric coal plant, the LCOEE is more sensitive to changes in the price of CO2 emissions than discount rate. In the combined cycle, the LCOEE is most sensitive to the plant factor than CO2 emissions price, discount rate. In the nuclear power plant, the discount rate has greater impact on the LCOE than overnight cost. In contrast to previous work, this research uses Mexico’s country-risk in the discount rate. This research’s limitation is that the costs related to transmission, distribution, and backup fee are not included. Concluding that stochastic models provide useful information for decision-making by incorporating historical data and projections of the main variables that could affect the output variable (LCOEE).

Published: June 2021

Este trabajo explora la relación entre el sistema financiero y la desigualdad del ingreso. Se utilizó el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios como estimación base y el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Generalizados Estimados con efectos aleatorios de dos vías como prueba de robustez. Los resultados para el sector bancario indican que profundidad, eficiencia y estructura de mercado exhiben evidencia a favor de la hipótesis de un aumento de la desigualdad del ingreso. De igual manera, se encuentra evidencia de una relación positiva entre menores niveles de competencia y la desigualdad del ingreso. Se recomienda de acuerdo a los resultados garantizar condiciones equitativas en la utilización de los servicios financieros. La limitante de este estudio es que no se consideró la dimensión acceso para el sector bancario. La aportación original es utilizar cuatro medidas diferentes de desigualdad del ingreso. La dimensión profundidad tanto para el sector bancario como para los mercados financieros, tiene el efecto de aumentar la desigualdad del ingreso. Mientras que la dimensión estabilidad del sector bancario y la dimensión eficiencia de los mercados financieros tienen un efecto redistributivo.
Mobile Applications in Clinical and Perioperative Care for Anesthesia: Narrative Review
Authors: Pan Sabrina , Rong Lisa Qia
Published: June 2021

Background

The increasing use of smartphones by providers and patients alike demonstrates that digital health utilizing mobile applications has the potential to transform perioperative care and education in anesthesia.

Objective

This literature review describes the current scope of the use of mobile applications in anesthesiology.

Methods

Literature was searched using PubMed, Scopus, and clinicaltrials.gov for articles published from January 1, 2010, through April 1, 2020. Only English language studies were included. Articles were included if they examined the use of a mobile health application in the setting of anesthesia or the perioperative (immediate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) period. Studies were excluded if they explored video interventions or did not examine the feasibility or efficacy of the mobile app.

Results

We included 29 articles, and three areas of clinical functionality were identified: patient-centered care (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative), systems-based improvement, and medical education. Several studies demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of mobile apps in these areas, but many are only tested for efficacy in simulated environments or with small patient samples

Conclusions

Mobile health applications show promise in improving communication between anesthesiologists, improving workflow efficiency, enhancing medical education, and reducing hospital costs. However, there is a need for validation and improvement before full implementation by the provider, patients, and hospital systems. Future studies are needed to demonstrate meaningful health outcomes to create guidelines and recommendations specific to the application of mobile technology to health care.

Published: June 2021

Background

Peer support is an emotional, social, and practical help provided by nonprofessionals to assist others in sustaining health behaviors. Peer support is valued in recovery-oriented models of mental health and is becoming increasingly implemented at the organizational level. Text messaging is a relatively low-cost, high-impact, and easily scalable program that uses existing technology, is devoid of geographic barriers, and is easily accessible to end users.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative peer support system plus a supportive text messaging program on the recovery of discharged patients from acute psychiatric care.

Methods

This prospective, rater blinded, controlled observational study included 181 patients who were discharged from acute psychiatric care. Patients were randomized to one of four conditions: treatment as usual (follow-up care), daily supportive text messages only, peer support only, or peer support plus daily supportive text messages. A standardized self-report measure of recovery (Recovery Assessment Scale [RAS]) was completed at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Descriptive analysis, one-way analysis of variance, and repeated measures multivariate analysis of covariance were used to examine the changes in the RAS among the study groups and over the follow-up time points.

Results

A total of 65 patients completed the assessments at each time point. For the overall sample, higher scores were found for the peer support plus text message condition compared with the text message only and treatment as usual condition on several scales (ie, willingness to ask for help and personal confidence and hope) and total score on the RAS, after 6 months of intervention.

Conclusions

Peer support plus supportive text messaging seems to result in improved recovery compared with other interventions. It may be advisable to incorporate the two interventions as part of routine practice for patients with psychiatric disorders upon hospital discharge.
Extraction of Traditional Chinese Medicine Entity: Design of a Novel Span-Level Named Entity Recognition Method With Distant Supervision
Authors: Jia Qi , Zhang Dezheng , Xu Haifeng , Xie Yonghong
Published: June 2021

Background

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical records contain the symptoms of patients, diagnoses, and subsequent treatment of doctors. These records are important resources for research and analysis of TCM diagnosis knowledge. However, most of TCM clinical records are unstructured text. Therefore, a method to automatically extract medical entities from TCM clinical records is indispensable.

Objective

Training a medical entity extracting model needs a large number of annotated corpus. The cost of annotated corpus is very high and there is a lack of gold-standard data sets for supervised learning methods. Therefore, we utilized distantly supervised named entity recognition (NER) to respond to the challenge.

Methods

We propose a span-level distantly supervised NER approach to extract TCM medical entity. It utilizes the pretrained language model and a simple multilayer neural network as classifier to detect and classify entity. We also designed a negative sampling strategy for the span-level model. The strategy randomly selects negative samples in every epoch and filters the possible false-negative samples periodically. It reduces the bad influence from the false-negative samples.

Results

We compare our methods with other baseline methods to illustrate the effectiveness of our method on a gold-standard data set. The F1 score of our method is 77.34 and it remarkably outperforms the other baselines.

Conclusions

We developed a distantly supervised NER approach to extract medical entity from TCM clinical records. We estimated our approach on a TCM clinical record data set. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed approach achieves a better performance than other baselines.
Physiologic Response to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Measured Using Wearable Devices: Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Hajduczok Alexander G , DiJoseph Kara M , Bent Brinnae , Thorp Audrey K , Mullholand Jon B , MacKay Stuart A , Barik Sabrina , Coleman Jamie J , Paules Catharine I , Tinsley Andrew
Published: June 2021

Background

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine uses a novel messenger RNA technology to elicit a protective immune response. Short-term physiologic responses to the vaccine have not been studied using wearable devices.

Objective

We aim to characterize physiologic changes in response to COVID-19 vaccination in a small cohort of participants using a wearable device (WHOOP Strap 3.0). This is a proof of concept for using consumer-grade wearable devices to monitor response to COVID-19 vaccines.

Methods

In this prospective observational study, physiologic data from 19 internal medicine residents at a single institution that received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was collected using the WHOOP Strap 3.0. The primary outcomes were percent change from baseline in heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate (RHR), and respiratory rate (RR). Secondary outcomes were percent change from baseline in total, rapid eye movement, and deep sleep. Exploratory outcomes included local and systemic reactogenicity following each dose and prophylactic analgesic use.

Results

In 19 individuals (mean age 28.8, SD 2.2 years; n=10, 53% female), HRV was decreased on day 1 following administration of the first vaccine dose (mean –13.44%, SD 13.62%) and second vaccine dose (mean –9.25%, SD 22.6%). RHR and RR showed no change from baseline after either vaccine dose. Sleep duration was increased up to 4 days post vaccination, after an initial decrease on day 1. Increased sleep duration prior to vaccination was associated with a greater change in HRV. Local and systemic reactogenicity was more severe after dose two.

Conclusions

This is the first observational study of the physiologic response to any of the novel COVID-19 vaccines as measured using wearable devices. Using this relatively small healthy cohort, we provide evidence that HRV decreases in response to both vaccine doses, with no significant changes in RHR or RR. Sleep duration initially decreased following each dose with a subsequent increase thereafter. Future studies with a larger sample size and comparison to other inflammatory and immune biomarkers such as antibody response will be needed to determine the true utility of this type of continuous wearable monitoring in regards to vaccine responses. Our data raises the possibility that increased sleep prior to vaccination may impact physiologic responses and may be a modifiable way to increase vaccine response. These results may inform future studies using wearables for monitoring vaccine responses.

Examining the Mental Workload Associated With Digital Health Technologies in Health Care: Protocol for a Systematic Review Focusing on Assessment Methods
Authors: Kremer Lisanne , Lipprandt Myriam , Röhrig Rainer , Breil Bernhard
Published: June 2021

Background

The workload in health care is high; physicians and nurses report high stress levels due to a demanding environment where they often have to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. As a result, mental health issues among health care professionals (HCPs) are on the rise and the prevalence of errors in their daily tasks could increase. Processes of demographic change are partly responsible for even higher stress levels among HCPs. The digitization of patient care is intended to counteract these processes. However, it remains unclear whether these health information systems (HIS) and digital health technologies (DHT) support the HCPs and relieve stress, or if they represent a further burden. The mental construct that describes this burden of technologies is mental workload (MWL). Work in the clinic can be viewed as working in safety-critical environments. Particularly in this sensitive setting, the measurement methods of MWL are relevant, mainly due to their strongly differing levels of intrusiveness and sensitivity. The method of eye tracking could be a useful way to measure MWL directly in the field.

Objective

The systematic review aims to address the following questions: (1) In which manner do DHT contribute to the overall MWL of HCPs? (2) Can we observe a direct or indirect effect of DHT on MWL? (3) Which aspects or factors of DHT contribute to an increase in MWL? (4) Which methods/assessments are applied to measure MWL related to HIS/DHT? (5) What role does eye tracking/pupillometry play in the context of measuring MWL? (6) Which outcomes are being assessed via eye tracking?

Methods

Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) statement, we will conduct a systematic review. Based on the research questions, we define keywords that we then combine in search terms. The review follows the following steps: literature search, article selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, data analysis, and data synthesis.

Results

We expect results as well as a finalization of the review in the summer of 2021.

Conclusions

This review will evaluate the impact of DHT on the MWL of HCPs. In addition, assessment methods of MWL in the context of digital technologies will be systematically analyzed.

Development of the Hypertension Index Model in General Adult Using the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey and the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (Preprint)
Authors: Seo Myung Jae , Ahn Sung Gyun , Lee Yong-Jae , Kim Jong Koo
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Hypertension, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, has been increasing. Along with emphasizing awareness and control of hypertension, predicting the incidence of hypertension is important. Several studies have previously reported prediction models of hypertension. However, among the previous models for predicting hypertension, few models reflect various risk factors for hypertension.

OBJECTIVE

We constructed a sex-specific prediction model using Korean datasets, which included socioeconomic status, medical history, lifestyle-related variables, anthropometric status, and laboratory indices.

METHODS

We utilized the data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2015 to derive a hypertension prediction model. Participants aged 40 years or older. We constructed a sex-specific hypertension classification model using logistic regression and features obtained by literature review and statistical analysis.

RESULTS

We constructed a sex-specific hypertension classification model including approximately 20 variables. We estimated its performance using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dataset from 2016 to 2018 (AUC = 0.807 in men, AUC = 0.854 in women). The performance of our hypertension model was considered significant based on the cumulative incidence calculated from a longitudinal dataset, the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study dataset.

CONCLUSIONS

We developed this hypertension prediction model using features that could be collected in a clinical office without difficulty. Individualized results may alert a person at high risk to modify unhealthy lifestyles.
Production of Natural Dye from Beet Roots (BETA VULGARIS L.) by using different Mordants
Authors: Nerlekar Nisha A.
Published: June 2021

Dyes can be derived from nature by different part of plants. Natural dyes give the color like cool, warm colors that are with unique combinations. Dyes are made from natural resources like plants, animals, and minerals tend to produce colors that wash out easily. With most natural dyes, a mordant can be used to make color more permanent. In the mordanting process the fiber of wool, cotton is treated with a solution of a metal salt (usually an aluminum, chromium, copper, iron, or tin salt). Then the fiber is dyed with natural colors. Metals ions which are present in the salt form strong bonds with the fiber and also with the dye, therefore holding the dye to the fiber. In this activity, we can easily extract colored compounds from plant materials; use them to dye white cloths. A small difference in the dyeing technique or the use of different mordants with the same dye can shift the colors of a wide range or create new colors, which are not easily possible with synthetic dyes. Natural dyes are usually moth proof and can replace synthetic dyes in kid garments and food stuff for safety which have allergy to synthetic dyes.

The world is heading towards maximum utilization of non-conventional energy resources like solar, Biofuel, Biogas and wind energy is also a part of it. The world has set a goal of 2030 up to which use of carbon emitting fuels is to be eliminated. The method of producing wind energy is Windmill. The windmills around us nowadays are of conventional type, means, they make use of Blades and rotor to convert wind energy into power. If we the structure of conventional windmill, we came to know that it is quite expensive and also carries additional cost of it’s maintenance, handling, transportation, and storage with it. Due to rotating parts and the metal property to get corroded with time makes it more expensive. We are trying to eradicate this drawbacks with our concept of Bladeless windmill. Our project will completely eliminate the blades and will give power without the extra cost carrying with it.

Doubling of Group Velocity near the Coast due to Storm Surge, Tides or Tsunami: An Analytical Study
Authors: Datta Ramkrishna
Published: June 2021

Tsunami may cause due to storm surge, earthquake at coastal region or at under the sea (obviously Hypocenter of earthquake must be within the earth’s crust or below). Each cases a wave packet which develops a set of simple harmonic motion of different wave lengths. These simple harmonic waves have been analyzed analytically. The velocity of propagation of waves depends upon the wave lengths. So the waves of nearly equal wave lengths can be considered as a group. This group of waves will propagate with nearly equal velocity which is known as group velocity. On considering two consecutive simple harmonic waves of same amplitude, we can find two equations describing simple harmonic motions having slightly different wave lengths and time periods. The combination of these two said SHM’s we can find another resultant SHM with different amplitude than of the previous two SHM’s. This new SHM has a slight variation in wave length and time period than that of that of the said earlier two SHM’s. Then using the perturbation technique on this resultant equation of SHM, we can find a new wave velocity (group velocity) in differential notation of wave velocity. This differential notation of wave velocity has been eliminated from the relation between the wave velocity on the surface of water and the depth of the sea. Then we get a relation between group velocity and wave velocity depending with depth of the sea. The application of boundary conditions on depth of deep sea and that of at the sea shore, we can find the group velocity at each region respectively. It is seen from the analysis that the group velocity at the sea shore is as much as double that of at the deep sea. Several recent cases of tsunamis or storm surges have been studied and it is found that the results depicted the same implementation through devastation that established by analytical study.

RFID Based Smart Traffic Management and Green Corridor for Emergency Vehicles
Authors: Chaudhari Arjun
Published: June 2021

Transportation has become a global crisis. In the current situation, we have a huge increase in the population. This rise has increased facilities to soothe the needs of human beings. Each family has at least one vehicle, to travel to their destination. With such an increase in the vehicular count, we don't have the infrastructure to meet these rising demands. Not only the adequate infrastructure but also the right management of the vehicles is important. Such is the below-proposed system where a smart IOT based traffic management system is designed. Also, an automatic high-tech green corridor creation mechanism is proposed for the smooth movement of emergency vehicles. The resultant system,upon testing and experiments proves to be more efficient. The time taken without implementing the above system is more than the one taken using the given proposed system.

Modeling of energy storage tank is done in Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) software, mesh has been created using ANSYS workbench software and Analysis is done in Fluent Software. The composition is sent from the inlet of the energy storage tank and temperatures are varied like 298k, 373k, 423k, and 473k. Velocities are also varied like 15m/s, 25m/s, 35m/s, 45m/s. This hybrid fuel storage deals with phase change material by using water and copper by heating at different temperatures to get the energy and re-utilized. This device is applicable for renewable energy application to avoid the heat losses new technique of energy saving in suitable forms. This has the lead to the emergence of fuel storage as a management of energy and allowing it to various levels of energy storage. In many parts of the world this storage of energy plays an important role and a new technique of energy saving in suitable forms. This has the lead to the emergence of fuel storage as a management of energy and allowing it to various levels of energy storage.

El artículo "La escritura terapéutica como recurso de resiliencia emocional en escenarios juveniles de vulnerabilidad social” publicado en Culturales[6, 2018, e368] presenta omisiones y errores de forma, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la citación correcta de las fuentes utilizadas. La corrección atiende el uso no referenciado ni citado en parte del artículo original(desdela página 6 ala página10). Esta versión ha sido revisada y aprobada por el Comité Editorial de Culturalesy por las autoras. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la herramienta de la escritura terapéutica como recurso de resiliencia emocional para jóvenes en condiciones vulnerables e instituirla como propuesta en otros contextos similares. El análisis parte de un estudio de caso: un taller en una clínica de tratamiento de adicciones en el estado de Colima. De manera inicial se abordan cuestiones teórico-conceptuales de la escritura terapéutica, la resiliencia emocional, la vulnerabilidad social y los jóvenes. En un segundo momento se explica la estrategia metodológica y se da cuenta de algunas repercusionesdel taller. Los resultados ponen enevidencia que la escritura podría incidir de manera positiva en el proceso de recuperaciónemocional de estos jóvenes.
¿Por qué están de vuelta los comunes? La postcomunidad de los comunes digitales
Authors:   Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, López Cuenca Alberto
Published: June 2021

Este artículo pretende caracterizar teóricamente la idea de los comunes y señalar los motivos de su auge en años recientes. Partiendo de dos de sus definiciones más extendidas, la expuesta en Governing the Commons por Elinor Ostrom y la desarrollada por Peter Linebaugh en Stop Thief! The Commos, Enclosures and Resistance, se sostiene que los comunes hacen referencia al singular ensamblaje de recursos, colectividad y formas de gobernanza. A partir de esta caracterización, el objetivo de este artículo es subrayar que los comunes en el entorno digital plantean un reto a dicha definición pues no presuponen la existencia ni de un bien escaso ni de una comunidad definida de antemano. Se concluirá que es el hacer común de una pluralidad heterogénea el que instituye una “comunidad postindetitaria” unida no por lo que comparte sino, paradójicamente, por lo que no posee.
Cultura política y prácticas étnicas de negociación en Sonora. Dos ejemplos de la primera mitad del siglo XIX
Authors:   Universidad de Sonora, García Rivera Edna Lucía , Grageda Bustamante Aarón Aurelio ,   Universidad de Sonora
Published: June 2021

Esta investigación explica la cultura política y las prácticas de negociación de yaquis y ópatas en Sonora, México; para ello se busca revelar sus características a través de los discursos y mostrar cómo sus contenidos remiten a un republicanismo de Antiguo Régimen. Se analiza la correspondencia enviada por el gobernador de Sonora, José Urrea, al Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, así como de jefes y capitanes generales indígenas. Los resultados muestran que los rasgos de la cultura política de los indígenas remitían según sus contenidos a un republicanismo clásico. Como parte de la semántica empleada predomina la exigencia de indultos, la declaración de fidelidad al Estado y a las leyes de la República. En este sentido se negoció la paz con autoridades estatales, lo que permitió que su existencia como grupo diferenciado de la sociedad mestiza perviviera, misma que implícitamente los reconocía como grupos con identidad e intereses particulares.
De inclusiones excluyentes. Desierto, otredad indígena y territorialidad nacional en las primeras producciones geográficas de Argentina
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Tierra del Fuego, Risso Julio Leandro
Published: June 2021

Las representaciones territoriales han sido fundamentales en la formación de los Estados-Nación modernos. El presente trabajo analiza los modos por los que destacadas producciones cartográficas difundidas durante la formación del Estado-Nación argentino, contribuyeron a articular una imagen hegemónica del país. Específicamente, indaga los mecanismos por los cuales dichas representaciones fueron definiendo al espacio pampeano-patagónico como desierto y, consecuentemente, como un espacio diferenciado de la Nación. Considerando la tesis de que, históricamente, en Argentina la pregunta por el desierto envuelve un modo histórico y político de indagar sobre la relación con los pueblos indígenas, se reflexiona sobre los procesos de desmarcación de la mismidad argentina y marcación de la otredad indígena que dichas representaciones contribuyeron a articular. De este modo, se busca contribuir con el reconocimiento y contextualización de los procesos espacio-temporales de identificación colectiva y de control político de la diversidad sociocultural producidos históricamente en Argentina.
Masculinidad repudiable y conyugalidad inapropiada en el folklore norteño: un estudio del relato de Juan Oso
Authors:   Centro de Investigación en Alimentación y Desarrollo A.C., Nuñez Noriega Guillermo , Ibarra Valenciana Koldovike ,   Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez
Published: June 2021

Este artículo parte del trabajo de compilación y análisis de los relatos de Juan Oso en el norte de México. Se analizan diez relatos orales y dieciocho relatos escritos, con el fin de entender la manera en que articulan concepciones y valores de género, particularmente de masculinidad, con relación a las formas de construir la conyugalidad, la reproducción y la paternidad. Concluimos que las versiones norteñas de esta tradición oral difieren de las europeas, pues se centran en el rapto de la mujer (la madre de Juan Oso) y no en sus aventuras, y con ello identifican y alertan contra una noción de masculinidad peligrosa y antisocial, construyendo así un mensaje moral de gran relevancia en la cultura de género del norte de México.
Y no dejemos de congregarnos… Adecuaciones a la práctica de congregarse de tres iglesias cristianas evangélicas durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en Mexicali, México
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Agúndez Márquez Roberto
Published: June 2021

La pandemia de COVID-19 trastocó las formas tradicionales de interacción social; motivó el replanteo de algunas prácticas y abrió nuevas oportunidades dentro de contextos digitales. Las iglesias no se escaparon de las consecuencias del confinamiento dictado por las autoridades. Esto implicó adaptar sus rituales y prácticas sociorreligiosas, así como replantear las formas de interacción con y entre sus congregantes en un nuevo contexto. El propósito de este texto es mostrar las adecuaciones de las prácticas socioculturales de tres iglesias cristianas evangélicas en este contexto. Se presentan resultados de un análisis coyuntural comparativo de las etnografías digitales, en las redes sociales utilizadas por cada una, durante la Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia en la ciudad de Mexicali, en México. Los principales hallazgos muestran que los congregantes dan un nuevo significado a la interacción con sus iglesias online a través de las redes sociales y a la reconfiguración de sus prácticas sociorreligiosas.
Reseña: Inflexión marica. Escrituras del descalabro gay en América Latina
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Serrato Guzmán Abraham Nemesio
Published: June 2021

Autores como Guillermo Núñez Noriega (2016) o Peter Drucker (2004) señalan que la presencia revolucionaria del movimiento de “la diversidad sexual” o LGBTTTIQ+, muchas veces identificada por la identidad gay, no permite apreciar ciertas corrientes subterráneas de sentimientos colectivos de hombres homosexuales, mujeres lesbianas y personas trans e intersexuales que no se identifican o no son incluidas dentro de “la identidad gay”; ya que la utilización generalizada de esta noción para identificar o “unificar” al movimiento ha servido también para subordinar u ocultar a las identidades y orientaciones que se salen del “modelo de ser gay”, principalmente en Latinoamérica y en países pobres de Asia o África; en estos contextos muchos de quienes sostienen relaciones sexuales con individuos de su mismo sexo no se definen como un tipo particular de personas, y aunque muchos otros sí lo hacen, su identidad en su cultura específica no necesariamente coincide con la identidad homosexual o gay europea o norteamericana.
Reseña: Grupos Yumanos de Baja California. Los Cochimí
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Velasco Pegueros Blanca Alejandra
Published: June 2021

Aunque hasta hace poco tiempo los/as cochimí del desierto central bajacaliforniano fueron considerados un pueblo extinto debido al choque cultural y la debacle demográfica que vivieron durante el periodo Colonial, en los albores del siglo XXI descendientes de este milenario grupo re-emergieron para exigir su reconocimiento como un pueblo vivo e iniciaron un interesante proceso de revitalización cultural y reivindicación identitaria. Precisamente, sobre este pueblo y su devenir se enfoca la última monografía de Everardo Garduño, la segunda de una serie dedicada a los cinco pueblos originarios de la península, la cual forma parte de la Colección Monografías del Instituto de Investigaciones Culturales-Museo de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
Reseña: Indigenous Media and Political Imaginaries in Contemporary Bolivia
Authors:   Universidad Veracruzana, Rashkin Elissa J.
Published: June 2021

En años recientes se ha visto un notable crecimiento de publicaciones académicas sobre el tema de medios indígenas en América Latina; crecimiento que corresponde, sin duda, a la expansión del objeto de estudio, es decir, de los proyectos comunicativos identificados como medios indígenas, comunitarios, ciudadanos, y/u otros nombres y formas de identificación aún por definir. Aunque el término “medios” puede abarcar muchas cosas, desde periódicos y otros impresos hasta proyectos radiofónicos y musicales, tan solo circunscribiéndonos al campo audiovisual, específicamente cine y video, encontramos mucho material para alimentar la conversación. Una pieza clave de esta bibliografía emergente es Indigenous Media and Political Imaginaries in Contemporary Bolivia de la antropóloga Gabriela Zamorano Villarreal, profesora-investigadora en El Colegio de Michoacán. Publicado por la editorial de la Universidad de Nebraska, el libro cuenta la historia de un proyecto sumamente importante, y también aporta puntos de reflexión y comparación.
