نهاية القرار الإداري السليم إدارياً
Authors: الجداع أ. محمد عمر
Published: October 2020

يُعد القرار الإداري من أهم الوسائل التي تتصل بها الإدارة بالإفراد، كونه يصدر بالإرادة المنفردة لجهة الإدارة، دون أي تدخل من الأفراد المخاطبين بأحكامه، وبذلك يعتبر القرار الإداري أبرز مظهر يتجسد فيه سلطان الإدارة، فعن طريقه تستطيع الإدارة إنشاء أو تعديل أو إلغاء مراكز قانونية، تحقيقاً للمصلحة العامة. ونهاية القرار الإداري قد تكون نهاية طبيعية، بانتهاء الأجل المحدد لسريانه، أو زوال المبررات التي أدت إلى إصداره، مما يدفع بالإدارة إلى التدخل لإلغاء القرار أو تعديله في ضوء تلك الظروف، وقد تكون نهاية القرار الإداري نهاية غير طبيعية، أي إنهاء آثار القرار قبل انقضائها بطريقة طبيعية، وذلك إما بعمل من جانب الإدارة، أو بواسطة القضاء. والنهاية الإدارية بعمل من جانب الإدارة تكون بقيام جهة الإدارة بوضع حد لسريان القرار، وذلك أما بسحب القرار بأثر رجعي من تاريخ صدوره وأما تعديله أو إلغائه بالنسبة للمستقبل، وحيث إن السحب والإلغاء الإداري لهما شروط وضوابط محددة ومدة زمنية معينة، وبالتالي يخرجان عن نطاق نهاية القرار الإداري النهائي السليم. وإذا كانت القاعدة أن القرارات الإدارية النهائية السليمة لا يجوز لجهة الإدارة إلغائها بالنسبة للمستقبل تقيداً بمبدأ عدم جواز المساس بالحقوق المكتسبة للأفراد، إلا أن ذلك لا يعني تحصين القرارات الإدارية السليمة وعدم جواز المساس بها إلى مالا نهاية، إذ تستطيع الإدارة تعديلها أو إلغائها بالنسبة للمستقبل بشرط اتباع الإجراءات والضوابط القانونية المتعلقة بإصدار القرارات الإدارية المضادة، فيجوز لها إلغاء قرار التعيين بإصدار قرار لاحق يقضي بفصل الموظف وذلك عند توافر الشروط المحددة قانوناً لتطبيق هذه العقوبة كالغياب عن العمل مثلاً.

Published: October 2020

Teaching large classes (>100 students) is a challenge. This study explored various instructional methods to determine which were most effective for large classes and developed guidelines for engaging students in learning in skills courses. A quasi-experimental design study with a control and treatment groups was conducted. The treatment group participated in a teaching learning strategy, which was designed to stimulate engagement of students through active and collaborative learning. These activities were developed based on the anecdotal accounts in the literature and consisted of Written Ground Rules for the course and in-class activities. The data analysis indicated that the teaching strategies used with the treatment group made a difference in the area of student satisfaction, assessment, learning abilities, development and practical application of computer and information skills and use of online tools. The study validated the effectiveness of this instrumental method in large class. Findings from the student satisfaction element of the study are reported in this paper. The study findings indicate that student engagement and deep learning is achieved through an active and collaborative approach that requires the student to engage with the subject of study.

Authors: Maita Q. Freddy , Daza U. Nelly
Published: October 2020

Objetivo: describir la utilidad de los signos clínicos, la ecografía y el Doppler color para el diagnóstico y manejo posterior en el embarazo. Método: estudio observacional, retrospectivo de cinco casos clínicos inicialmente diagnosticados como torsión de pedículo de quiste anexial y embarazo, sometidos a cirugía. Resultados: en el 80% de los casos hubo un diagnóstico preoperatorio correcto. En todos los casos de torsión de pedículo se identificó preoperatoriamente el signo directo de torsión. Hubo un caso de falso positivo de una paciente con la triada clásica y flujo vascular muy escaso en su pared, interpretado como signo indirecto de torsión de pedículo no corroborado en la cirugía. En un caso de torsión, se identificó señal Doppler Color normal en la pared del quiste. Conclusión: al diagnóstico ecográfico y clínico se correlacionó casi con todos los casos de torsión de pedículo de quiste anexial en el embarazo. El Doppler color no aportó mayor información al obtenido por la clínica y la ecografía. El manejo quirúrgico por laparotomía trajo consigo algunas complicaciones como la pérdida del anexo comprometido, aborto, mayor estancia hospitalaria.

Authors: Copana Olmos Raul , Diaz Villalobos Willmer
Published: October 2020

La fluidoterapia es un pilar del tratamiento del shock séptico, el acúmulo de un balance hídrico ? al 10% del peso se asocia con malos resultados hospitalarios.

Objetivo: el presente estudio pretende determinar el Índice de Sobrecarga Hídrica (ISCH>10%) en pacientes con shock séptico, y sus principales asociaciones en función de mortalidad y morbilidad.

Métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo observacional y descriptivo, en 49 niños internados con shock séptico en la UTIP del HNMAV; se dividieron los pacientes en dos grupos según el ISCH > al 10% (22 pacientes) y <10% (18 pacientes), para su análisis descriptivo se incluyó comparación de medias y cálculo del OR.

Resultados: respecto a los requerimientos hídricos observamos que el grupo con ISCH>10% una media de 5681ml; mientras en el grupo con ISCH<10% la media fue de 3297,8ml (p=0,19), mostrando mayor sobrecarga con la administración de coloides y hemoderivados (p=0,02; p=0,004). Respecto a los resultados hospitalarios, se encontró morbilidad asociada al ISCH > 10% (disfunción respiratoria, requerimiento de vasopresores y terapia de remplazo renal). Los días de hospitalización y en UTIP no fueron diferentes en los grupos (p=0.6), pero hubo mayor mortalidad de pacientes con ISCH >10% (p=0.01; OR:5,57 IC95% 1,4-21,8).

Conclusiones: la administración de líquidos en el paciente con shock séptico constituye uno de los tratamientos hemodinámicos de primera línea, sin embargo, en establecimientos de recursos limitados se debe evitar la sobrecarga, principalmente por las morbilidades asociadas las primeras 72 horas.

Published: October 2020

En Bolivia, los medicamentos utilizados para el tratamiento de la leishmaniasis cutánea son los antimoniales, de aplicación sistémica en dosis/kg peso, los cuales provocan efectos adversos por la aplicación en largos periodos y grandes volúmenes. La aplicación perilesional de antimonio tiene similar eficacia terapéutica que la sistémica. Sin embargo, no se cuenta con información documentada respecto a la eficacia del tratamiento perilesional en pacientes con falla terapéutica, posterior al tratamiento sistémico. El objetivo de esta serie de casos fue evaluar el tratamiento perilesional con glucantime®, en pacientes con leishmaniasis cutánea y falla terapéutica, posterior a un primer ciclo de tratamiento sistémico con antimoniales. El estudio se realizó con once pacientes con leishmaniasis cutánea con falla terapéutica, posterior a la administración de un primer ciclo de tratamiento sistémico con glucantime® procedentes de la zona tropical de Bolivia. Se consideró como falla terapéutica la persistencia de la lesión y presencia de parásitos obtenidos de los bordes de la lesión. La intervención perilesional consistió en la aplicación día por medio de glucantime® en cinco sesiones. La inoculación se realizó sobre el borde de la lesión y la dosificación del medicamento se calculó multiplicando el área de la lesión por el factor 0.008. Todos los pacientes presentaron dolor local durante el momento de inoculación del medicamento, así como también presentaron un ligero agrandamiento del área de la lesión después de la primera aplicación del medicamento En las siguientes inoculaciones se observó la reducción progresiva del área de la lesión hasta su completa cicatrización.

Published: October 2020

Los sarcomas de tejidos blandos son raros y representan menos del 1% de las neoplasias malignas recién diagnosticadas. La rareza de los tumores retroperitoneales, combinada con las variedades de subtipos histológicos, ha complicado los conocimientos sobre estos e impedido el desarrollo de terapia efectivas. Los liposarcomas retroperitoneales crecen lenta y silenciosamente, su pronóstico es malo y el tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica. Se expone el caso de paciente femenino de 50 años de edad con el diagnóstico de ingreso de tumor abdominal, operada hace 39 meses por la misma causa, refiriendo liposarcoma tipo mixoide grado II, se realizó una laparotomía y se identificó masa tumoral retroperitoneal gigante con un peso de 6 100 gr. y se establece el diagnostico de tumor lipomatoso atipico/ liposarcoma bien diferenciado. Se informa este caso por la rareza de su conformación y la ausencia de reportes en la literatura nacional, con escasas patologías de similares características de presentación a nivel mundial.

Authors: Angulo Valdivia Cecilia , Torrico Villarroel Nattaly Grecia
Published: October 2020

El virus de la Influenza (Flu) ha sido causante de diversas pandemias que han producido millones de muertes a nivel mundial, siendo necesario un diagnóstico diferencial al producir un cuadro clínico similar al de infecciones producidas por otros virus respiratorios. El diagnóstico oportuno y certero de infección por Influenza virus empleando pruebas de laboratorio, permite una mejor toma de decisiones en el ámbito médico, de tal manera que se pueda administrar un tratamiento adecuado, disminuir complicaciones y costos de hospitalización. A pesar de existir diferentes alternativas de métodos de diagnóstico, desde técnicas tradicionales como el cultivo viral o la inmunofluorescencia, hasta técnicas de detección de ácidos nucleicos, todas presentan ventajas y desventajas en cuanto al tiempo de procesamiento y entrega de resultados, sensibilidad, especificidad, experticia del personal, costos e infraestructura del laboratorio, siendo estos factores importantes a considerar para la implementación de nuevas técnicas en los laboratorios clínicos.
Iniciando una cultura en semilleros de investigación
Authors: Chavez-Soliz Helem Rocio
Published: October 2020

La formación y motivación inicial desde el ingreso a la universidad cobra importancia ya que ello permitiría que los resultados y las estadísticas de producción científica en Bolivia cambien. Durante el 2011 se registró una contribución en ciencias de la salud del 0,3% de la producción científica latinoamericana y del 0,01% de la producción mundial en comparación al 50% en países como Brasil1,2. 

Desde hace mucho tiempo atrás, en otras escuelas de medicina tienen como política de educación superior la formación de semilleros de investigación como una forma de mejorar el conocimiento adquirido y profundizar en diferentes áreas y líneas de investigación durante el pregrado, fruto del interés y motivación de los estudiantes. La importancia de empezar en esta etapa es crucial, sustentado en las repercusiones positivas que tendrá en el futuro3.
Modeling land surface processes over a mountainous rainforest in Costa Rica using CLM4.5 and CLM5
Authors: Song Jaeyoung , Miller Gretchen R. , Cahill Anthony T. , Aparecido Luiza Maria T. , Moore Georgianne W.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. This study compares the performance of the Community Land Models (CLM4.5 and CLM5) against tower and ground measurements from a tropical montane rainforest in Costa Rica. The study site receives over 4000 mm of mean annual precipitation and has high daily levels of relative humidity. The measurement tower is equipped with eddy-covariance and vertical profile systems able to measure various micrometeorological variables, particularly in wet and complex terrain. In this work, results from point-scale simulations for both CLM4.5 and its updated version (CLM5) are compared to observed canopy flux and micrometeorological data. Both models failed to capture the effects of frequent rainfall events and mountainous topography on the variables of interest (temperatures, leaf wetness, and fluxes). Overall, CLM5 alleviates some errors in CLM4.5, but CLM5 still cannot precisely simulate a number of canopy processes for this forest. Soil, air, and canopy temperatures, as well as leaf wetness, remain too sensitive to incoming solar radiation rates despite updates to the model. As a result, daytime vapor flux and carbon flux are overestimated, and modeled temperature differences between day and night are higher than those observed. Slope effects appear in the measured average diurnal variations of surface albedo and carbon flux, but CLM5 cannot simulate these features. This study suggests that both CLMs still require further improvements concerning energy partitioning processes, such as leaf wetness process, photosynthesis model, and aerodynamic resistance model for wet and mountainous regions.
An urban large-eddy-based dispersion model for marginal grid
resolutions: CAIRDIO v1.0
Authors: Weger Michael , Knoth Oswald , Heinold Bernd
Published: October 2020

Abstract. The capability for high spatial resolutions is an important feature of accurate numerical models dedicated to simulate the large spatial variability of urban air pollution. On the one hand, the well established mesoscale chemistry transport models have their obvious short-comings attributed to their extensive use of paramterizations. On the other hand, obstacle resolving computational fluid dynamic models, while accurate, still often demand too high computational costs, to be applied on a regular and holistic basis. The major reason for the inflated numerical costs is the required horizontal resolution to meaningfully apply the obstacle discretization, which is most often based on boundary-fitted grids, like e.g. the marker-and-cell method. Here we present a large-eddy-simulation approach that uses diffusive obstacle boundaries, which are derived from a simplified diffusive interface approach for moving obstacles. The diffusive interface approach is well established in two-phase modeling, but to the author’s knowledge has not been applied in urban boundary layer simulations so far. Our dispersion model is capable of representing buildings over a wide range of spatial resolutions, including marginally coarse resolutions inaccessible for standard methods. This opens up a very promising opportunity for application of accurate air quality simulations and forecasts on entire mid-sized city domains. Furthermore, our approach is capable of incorporating the influence of the land orography by the additional optional use of terrain-following coordinates. We validated the dynamic core against a set of numerical benchmarks and a standard high-quality wind-tunnel data set for dispersion-model evaluation.
Investigation of spatial and temporal variability of river ice phenology and thickness across Songhua River Basin, northeast China
Authors: Yang Qian , Song Kaishan , Hao Xiaohua , Wen Zhidan , Tan Yue , Li Weibang
Published: October 2020

Abstract. The regional role and trends of freshwater ice are critical factors for aquatic ecosystems, climate variability, and human activities. The ice regime has been scarcely investigated in the Songhua River Basin of
northeast China. Using daily ice records of 156 hydrological stations across the region, we examined the spatial variability in the river ice phenology and river ice thickness from 2010 to 2015 and explored the role of snow depth and air temperature on the ice thickness. The river ice phenology showed a latitudinal distribution and a changing direction from southeast to northwest. We identified two spatial clusters based on Moran's I spatial autocorrelation, and results showed that the completely frozen duration with high values clustered in the Xiao Hinggan Range and that with low values clustered in the Changbai Mountains at the 95 % confidence level. The maximum ice thickness over 125 cm was distributed along the ridge of the Da Hinggan Range and Changbai Mountains, and the maximum ice thickness occurred most often in February and March. In three subbasins of the Songhua River Basin, we developed six Bayesian regression models to predict ice thickness from air temperature and snow depth. The goodness of the fit (R2) for these regression models ranged from 0.80 to 0.95, and the root mean square errors ranged from 0.08 to 0.18 m. Results showed significant and positive correlations between snow cover and ice thickness when freshwater was completely frozen. Ice thickness was influenced by the cumulative air temperature of freezing through the heat loss of ice formation and decay instead of just air temperature.
The Fall Pause: An Overview of the Current Canadian University Landscape and a Review of the Related Emerging Literature
Authors: Robinson Daniel B. , Andrews Erin
Published: October 2020

In recent years, many Canadian universities have added a Fall Pause to their academic calendars. However, those who have been making these decisions have been doing so without having access to any resources that provide an overview of existing Fall Pause practices or models across the nation. Additionally, there exists a paucity of literature that provides a sound rationale for the introduction of a Fall Pause. This paucity of literature makes research-informed decision making about the introduction of a Fall Pause an especially difficult task. Given these observations, we have undertaken the task of writing this article with two goals in mind: (a) to provide an overview of the current Canadian university landscape with respect to the Fall Pause; and (b) to provide a scoping review of the related emerging literature related to the Fall Pause. With this information made available, it is our hope that university faculty and administrators will be better positioned to make informed decisions about the possible introduction or continued inclusion of a Fall Pause in their own universities’ schedules. They, and we, might also then be able to have a better (informed) sense of the research-based outcomes for those who have already introduced and/or experienced a Fall Pause.
Moving Forward or Holding Back? Creating a Culture of Academic Assessment
Authors: Wilton Shauna , Méthot Mélanie
Published: October 2020

This article analyzes data from a survey on faculty perceptions of a newly instituted assessment process at a small liberal arts campus in Canada. The survey results are compared with an analysis of the reports submitted to the assessment committee over a four-year period in order to determine whether a culture of assessment centred on students’ academic skills rather than compliance had been achieved. Although there is evidence of resistance and skepticism from a subset of faculty, we argue that overall a faculty driven process of assessment provided the space for the creation of a culture of assessment based on the explicit evaluation of identified academic skills. Our analysis examines faculty perceptions of assessment and its impact, the materials and methods of assessment used, and the overall impact of assessment on teaching on the campus.
How are Professional Programs from Diverse Disciplines Approaching the Development and Assessment of Competence at a Mid-Sized Canadian University?
Authors: Rich Jessica , Klinger Don , Fostaty Young Sue , Donnelly Catherine
Published: October 2020

Time-honoured university policies, such as the credit-hour and academic freedom, present challenges for professional education programs tasked with operationalizing entry-to-practice competence frameworks for professional accreditation. A single embedded case study was used to explore how professional programs from one mid-sized Canadian university are approaching and perhaps problematizing the development and assessment of competence. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with educational leaders (faculty and staff, n=21) from a sample of nine programs. Following a grounded theory approach to qualitative analysis, the constant comparative method was used to inductively discern similarities and differences across programs, and to begin building theory about approaches to operationalization. While limited in scope given the use of a single university, our findings highlight: (a) diversity in approaches to operationalization across programs, (b) common attributes which can be used to classify the manner in which these programs operationalize competence, and (c) challenges with supporting faculty to buy in to competency-informed pedagogy and assessment. Given these findings, it is recommended that professional accrediting bodies and education programs spend time to consider the role university-based programs play in determining competence for entry-to-practice, as well their intents for implementing a competence framework, to ensure sufficiency in the approaches being used.
CJSoTL at 10: A Quantitative Analysis of Authorship, Genre, and Impact
Authors: Murphy Michael P. A.
Published: October 2020

On the occasion of the completion of the tenth volume of The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, we have the opportunity to reflect on the kind of scholarly community that The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning has created through its publication of particular articles. One way to attempt this task is through a quantification of different elements of the journal’s history. While the numbers cannot tell us about the internal life of the journal, analysis of the journal’s output can help identify areas of strength and weakness in the journal’s past and areas of focus for the future.
Gendered Digital Inequities in African Contexts: Measuring and Bridging the Gaps
Authors: Kwami Janet D.
Published: October 2020

While access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as mobile phones and the internet has increased over the last couple of years, new digital inequalities also continue to emerge regarding gender, socioeconomic backgrounds, and different levels of digital literacies and education. The gendered nature of access to and use of digital technologies shapes opportunities for many African women, influences the process of social inclusion, and thus exacerbates social inequalities. This essay interrogates the interrelationships of gender, new digital technologies, and socioeconomic development among marginalized groups in different contexts in countries on the continent of Africa, focusing on the rising digital inequities among marginalized communities. I make the case for the collection of disaggregated data and comparative studies of gendered digital inequities as important for understanding and bridging gaps. By focusing on marginalization rather than poverty, I examine the relationships between people, locales, and institutions rather than assets alone. By examining how distributed groups connect through digital tools, I hope to raise some important questions about the nature of digital inequities in today’s networked society and address gender empowerment through inclusive and research-based ICT policy making and practice.
La flor de mi secreto: El deseo de la creación en Pedro Almodóvar
Authors: Pérez Ibáñez Doralba
Published: October 2020

The Flower of My Secret (1995) stands out as one of the least cited films in Pedro Almodóvar’s filmography. This absence of critical attention contrasts with the care that the director put into the construction of its characters and the consideration he paid to each of the details that made up this melodrama. The flower of my secret keeps many of Almodóvar’s usual traits, but with a particular tone that makes this film a defining moment in his career, since it marks a transition in his creative process, it constitutes a before and an after in his filmic production. In this essay I analyze the trope of creation in The Flower of My Secret and explain the reasons why this film could be considered Almodóvar’s most metafictional work, since it reflects on each of the elements that are part of his creative universe. The film is an eulogy to the process of both literary and cinematographic creation in the format of a melodrama; the viewer travels, in 103 minutes, across the tropes that constitute the Almodovarian universe, either explicitly or through allusion. The film pays tribute to its name.
Objetivos transnacionales: El cine español del nuevo milenio
Authors: Martinez Carazo Cristina
Published: October 2020

Although transnationality as a phenomenon is as old as film, the contemporary reflection on this topic and the plurality of approaches that converge on it have opened new lines of analysis to evaluate the impact that this reality exerts on the film industry. My intention in this study is to propose a typology that reflects the impact of transnationality in the specific case of Spanish film to explore the dynamics that control our cinematic production in the third millennium. I propose six segments to structure my approach to the Spanish film industry: 1. Production modes; 2. Transnational subjects; 3. Aesthetic registers; 4. Themes; 5. Ethics and ideology; 6. Critical and moviegoer reception. Within this framework, I will explore the dialectics between the national essence of Spanish film and its transnationality, the impact of different financial models, the multidirectional movements of our actors and directors, esthetic influences, the ethics of the industry and the response of critics and viewers to a film industry that swings between preserving and erasing its identity markers.

Mirant al cel/Eyes on the Sky: The (Im)possible Expiation of the Spectral Other
Authors: Olivella Jaume
Published: October 2020

This article analyzes the contribution of the new Catalan documentary in the current process of reclaiming the collective historical memory repressed by Francoism and by the Silence Deal established during the political transition to democracy after Franco’s death. This analysis will consider some films that use the family metaphor as a national allegory to represent the plight of the Catalan nation. The main thesis of this study is to underline the need for reparation regarding the crimes committed by Francoism during and after the Spanish Civil War and the fact that such a reparation has not taken place neither in fiction nor in historical terms. This essay relies on the post-Derridian concept of “hauntology” as a theoretical framework to study the spectral textual encounters that mark the symptoms of an uninterrupted mourning process that appeals to the historical memory in search of dignity and closure. Methodologically, this study offers a close textual reading of Jesús Garay’s film Mirant al cel (Eyes on the Sky, 2008) as a perfect case study where the spectral conflict between victims and victimizers is acted out in the context of Barcelona and Catalonia and the series of urban mass bombings carried out by the Italian Royal Legion under the direct supervision of Il Duce, Mussolini. Garay’s film special relevance lies in the fact of its being one of the few documentaries that revisits those three dramatic days in March 1938 that became a tragic rehearsal of the massive urban aerial raids of the Second World War.

Published: October 2020

In this article, I draw on Sara Ahmed’s theorization of “queer phenomenology” to examine the re-orientation of memory discourses in Patricio Guzman’s Nostalgia de la luz (2010). In Nostalgia, the camera produces a metaleptic effect by meticulously framing, in a similar manner to that of a telescope, the background of the official historical narrative: the memory of the natural world. Guzmán’s metaleptic camera teaches us an interconnected “memory of the cosmos.” Yet this re-orientation of memory discourses is articulated from a family home that serves as a gendered orienting device. Following queer phenomenology, I trace the ways in which the documentary’s innovative treatment of memory is hindered by the heteropatriarchal orientation of the family home. I argue that, in Nostalgia, the memory of the heterosexual male subject is the one that is transmitted vertically within the heteropatriarchal family. In doing so, the documentary reproduces the familial and linear tropes that have dominated discourses of intergenerational memory transmission. Queer phenomenology warns us that Guzman’s call to “vivir en el frágil tiempo presente” is not merely a question of having or lacking memory. Memory is a matter of following, and returning, specific lines of orientation, at the expense of others.
Spaces and Journeys in Ernesto Daranas’ Conducta: Che or Martí?
Authors: Angulo-Cano Yanira
Published: October 2020

In his film Conducta [Behavior] (2014), Ernesto Daranas portrays the ethical
and physical challenges of an aging teacher, struggling to improve the lives
of her students, not just within the classroom setting, but also in their family
and social spheres. Thus, in response to a top/down social structure where
an unseen government exerts economic and political pressure on schools
and families in crisis mode, Daranas proposes model redirecting away from
Ernesto Che Guevara and back toward José Martí as a pedagogic strategy for
modulating conduct expectations of elementary school children. However,
because government censorship sensitizes the spoken word, the filmmaker
is careful to avoid negative repercussions by letting markedly visual elements
of his mise en scène reveal indiscreet, if not outright subversive views of home,
school, and cityscape. Also, through a recurring wandering narrative format,
Ernesto Daranas conducts a political inquiry analogous to how Radicant
aesthetics exercise wandering narratives.
La guerre est fini y/o ¿La guerra ha terminado?: El film de Alain Resnais y Jorge Semprún y su papel en la exposición permanente del Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Authors: Tobin Stanley Maureen
Published: October 2020

This article analyzes the ambiguity in the film La guerre est finie ([The War Is Over] 1966, director Alain Resnais, screenwriter Jorge Semprún) whose declarative title becomes a question in the title of the permanent exhibit at the Reina Sofía National Museum in Madrid: Is the War Over? Art in a Divided World (1945-1968). The works invite the viewer to question the nationalism that catapulted the Spanish Civil War, whose victory marked the first triumph for European fascisms and concomitant genocides. While the film entirely lacks symbols of irrefutable national identity, the paintings incorporate and subvert certain icons of (regional, Francoist, Nazi or Fascist) nationalism, as well as emblems of the Spanish Republic and Spain. The artworks respond in theme and form to nationalist ideology and esthetics. Although the film—whose screenwriter Jorge Semprún had been imprisoned in the Nazi camp at Buchenwald—limits itself to implicit allusions to the eradication of the domestic enemy on Iberian soil and the so-called stateless undesirables exiled in foreign lands, the exhibit explicitly references Nazism and other 20th-century genocides. The collection of works exemplifies Aharon Appelfeld’s assertion: that only art has the ability to redeem suffering from the abyss. The film and the plastic works respond not only to nationalist ideologies and concomitant lived and witnessed experiences, but also to nationalist art. Through the visual counternarratives that give voice to myriad victimizations, these works make manifest and denounce, in theme and form, the anti-intellectualization and the fervent sentiment of political zeal.
Teaching Representations of Resistance and Repression in Popular Spanish Film
Authors: Mombell Nicole
Published: October 2020

This essay presents a brief analysis of three popular Spanish films released between 2001 and 2012 that are set in the immediate post Civil War period and first decades of the Franco dictatorship. Specifically, it considers three films which aim to reconstruct and represent the experience of the men, women, and children who fought Francoism or who endured repression after the end of the Spanish Civil War: Silencio roto (Armendáriz 2001), El laberinto del fauno (Del Toro 2004), and 30 años de oscuridad (Martín 2012). This essay explores the way in which tropes of politics, history, resistance, and repression are represented in each film, and how filmmakers using popular cinematic forms have appropriated the Spanish Civil War and Franco period settings to comment on contemporary political and social issues in Spain.

Most of the recent Spanish cinematic productions (fictional and documentary) that depict the Spanish Civil War and Franco period have focused on the moral vindication of the vanquished. The three films considered here aim to reconstruct the particular experience or memories of the Spanish maquis and topos, and the civilians who supported them in their struggles. Each of the films discussed has sought to play a role in the recasting of collective identity in Spain, and affords important insights into the social processes and experiences of the time in which they were created. In a world where the visual immediacy of cinematic images increasingly works to displace traditional historiography, these representations have become ever more important and merit discussion. This essay takes into account that these cinematic representations are subjective and mediated depictions of events, participants, and circumstances of the Civil War and Franco period, and suggests pedagogical approaches to discussing each film in order to enable students (and other viewers) to grasp how to distinguish between history and the historicizing effect of its representations.
Para gustos, los colores. El matizado mundo delirante de los géneros: la ‘patergaynidad’ en otro tipo de familia en Azul y no tan rosa de Miguel Ferrari
Authors: Castro Pércio
Published: October 2020

Blue and Not So Pink (2012), created by Miguel Ferrari as director and screenwriter, received innumerable positive and negative critiques. In spite of the negative evaluations, the film managed to become a great box office success in Venezuela and in 2013 obtained the Goya Award for the best Spanish American film. This study will analyze the film’s most significant themes; that is, that the consideration of human diversity as an element should be accepted in our societies, the possibility of giving voice to persons who suffer discrimination and the issue of self-acceptance. The notion that the film proposes that there should be other types of families in our societies will be considered: families with gay parents, those with only one parent, and therefore, families that are formed with no blood relationship whatsoever. The trajectory of the main characters within parameters that are juxtaposed and, at the same time, complement each other will be observed—the private and public world, the social sphere and the familial one. Consequently, the transformation that occurs in the family unit to include more unbiased parental rights for homosexuals and transexuals in the formation of a new kind of family core will likewise be
examined. By way of conclusion, it will be observed how the musical diversity of the film is developed intradiegetically to support gender diversity, as well as an examination of the concept of gender within heterocentric society and the way in which relationships of homosexual couples and transgender couples challenge patriarchal society and the dichotomous, binary system it adopted.

In Russian National Security Doctrine 2020, one of the improvements of higher education is the development of “interaction of educational organizations and research centers with industrial enterprises”. The document “development of secondary vocational education system in order to prepare qualified workers in accordance with the best world standards and advanced technologies” is interpreted as an important condition for ensuring national security in the field of science, technology and education. In our opinion, it’s cannot be realized without the involvement of the economic, technological and managerial resources of industrial enterprises, and, consequently, the organization of the network interaction of higher educational organizations and enterprises. This study is devoted to the organization of networking of institutions of higher education with enterprises, which was developed in accordance with the basic requirements of employers. The effectiveness of this approach to learning was proven during a research experiment.

Imagens fotográficas sobre autoritarismo e manifestações estudantis contra os cortes na educação nas cidades de Goiânia e Londrina 15 maio 2019
Authors: Nascimento Gledson Rodrigues
Published: October 2020

Neste texto procuramos construir, por meio de imagens fotográficas, parte do que aconteceu nas manifestações estudantis, ocorridas em 15 de maio 2019, em várias cidades brasileiras, contra o corte nos recursos da educação. Pensamos que esse episódio se assemelha com ocorrido no “Maio de 68”, em Paris, por isso aglutinamos alguns fatos e imagens que ajudaram na sua reverberação pelo Brasil, ainda em 1968. A finalidade é mostrar como a posição estudantil influencia o comportamento revolucionário e transgressor dos que lutam por mudanças, sempre que a intenção de favorecer a massa, com sonhos revolucionários, torna-se um ideal, para promover direitos aos estudantes e à sociedade. Metodologicamente, utilizaremos recursos como, netnografia, etnografia virtual e os acervos digitais on-line, além das contribuições de Dubois (2004). Considerando os atos de focar, enquadrar e acionar o dispositivo de recorte de espaço e tempo, para mostrar como foram as manifestações nas cidades de Goiânia-GO e Londrina-PR, no dia 15 de maio de 2019.
