Background

Guidelines for the management of cardiac arrest play a crucial role in guiding clinical decisions and care. We examined the strength and quality of evidence underlying these recommendations in order to elucidate strengths and gaps in knowledge.

Methods

Using the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Adult CPR, we subdivided all recommendations into advanced life support (ALS), basic life support (BLS), and recovery after cardiac arrest, as well as a more granular categorization by topic (i.e. the intervention or evaluation recommended). The Class of Recommendation (COR) and Level of Evidence (LOE) for each were reviewed. Additionally, we reviewed the 2023 guidelines to ensure the inclusion of the most recent updates.

Results

We noted 254 recommendations, of which 181 were ALS, 69 were BLS, and 4 were recovery after resuscitation. In total, only 2 (1%) had the most robust evidence (LOE A), while 23% were at LOE B-NR (Non-Randomized), 15% at LOE B-R (Randomized), 50% at LOE C-LD (Limited Data), and 12% relied on expert opinion LOE C-EO (Expert Opinion). Despite the strength of ALS recommendations (Class 1, 2a, or 2b), none had LOE A. In BLS, no recommendations were supported by LOE A. For BLS, 7% of recommendations had LOE C (C-LD or C-EO). The evidence for specific BLS topics, such as airway management, was notably low. Among ALS topics, neurological prognostication had relatively stronger evidence.

Conclusions

Only 26 out of the 81 COR 1 recommendations (32%) were supported by LOE A or B, indicating a strong discrepancy between the strength of recommendation and the underlying evidence in cardiac arrest guidelines. The findings underscore a pressing need for more rigorous research, particularly randomized trials.

Published: December 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a severe microangiopathy of diabetes. Müller cells play an important role in the development of DR. Acteoside (ACT) has been reported to be effective in the treatment of DR. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanism of ACT in the treatment of DR from the perspective of the reactive proliferation of Müller cells. The effect of ACT on DR was investigated via high-glucose (HG) treatment of Müller RMC-1 cells and an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in constructed DR cells and animal models. The results showed that after ACT treatment, damage to the retinal structure in DR rats was alleviated, the number of hemangiomas was reduced, and the penetration of blood vessels was weakened. In addition, ACT treatment improved the hypertrophy and gliogenesis of Müller cells during DR, promoted the expression of Kir4.1 and activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. ACT treatment inhibited the proliferation and migration of RMC-1 cells and promoted the expression of Kir4.1. TXNIP overexpression effectively reversed the inhibitory effect of ACT on the proliferation and migration of Müller cells and its induction of Kir4.1 expression. In addition, TXNIP knockdown effectively reversed the inhibitory effect of HG on the expression of p-PI3K and p-Akt, whereas TXNIP overexpression had the opposite effect, and treatment with the PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 effectively reversed the effect of TXNIP knockdown. Animal experiments also confirmed that the therapeutic effect of ACT on DR rats could be reversed by the overexpression of TXNIP or LY294002. In conclusion, ACT inhibits Müller cell reactive proliferation and alleviates diabetic retinopathy by regulating TXNIP and mediating the expression of Kir4.1 channels in a PI3K/Akt-dependent manner.
Arm weight effects on dynamic walking stability in individuals with hemiparetic stroke
Authors: Yang Hyung Suk , Atkins Lee T. , James C. Roger
Published: December 2024

This study examined the effects of arm weights on dynamic stability during overground walking in individuals with hemiparetic stroke. Arm weights have been shown to improve mobility in stroke survivors, potentially at the cost of decreased dynamic stability and increased fall risk. Data from nine stroke survivors (8 males, 1 female; age: 58.0 ± 6.8 years) were assessed under four conditions: no weight, weight attached to the non-hemiparetic side, weight attached to the hemiparetic side, and bilateral weights. Each condition used 0.45 kg sandbags. Kinematic data were captured using an eight-camera motion system and analyzed to assess center of mass position and velocity relative to the base of support. Although repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant differences in stability across conditions, individual scatter plots revealed variable responses among participants. Some maintained or improved their stability, while others experienced decreases under specific conditions. These findings underscore the need for personalized approaches in rehabilitation planning, suggesting that integrating arm weights into rehabilitation protocols may not compromise dynamic stability for most stroke survivors. Further research with larger sample sizes and varied weights is essential to validate these findings and tailor the use of arm weights in stroke rehabilitation more effectively.
Development of a new methodology for the determination of PET microplastics in sediment, based on microwave-assisted acid digestion
Authors: Perez Marco , Parra Sonnia , Ferrada Cristofher , Bravo Manuel , Perez Pablo A. , Quiroz Waldo
Published: December 2024

Analytical methods for the determination of microplastics in sediments typically involve matrix drying, sieving, grinding, and flotation as part of the sample treatment. However, the real need for these steps and analytical validation studies are scarce. This work proposes a method that avoids the drying, sieving, and flotation procedures by using a direct acid attack of HNO₃/HCl (3:1) on wet sediment samples, assisted by microwave digestion. For detection, induced fluorescence using a UV camera, with Nile Red (NR) as the fluorophore and a cell phone camera for image capture were used. The results showed that when the digestion temperature was raised to 120°C, PET recovery decreased due to plastic particle fusion. However, at 60°C, microwave digestion resulted in a 97% recovery of PET particles, eliminating chitin interference and canceling cellulose fluorescence without the need for flotation. This method proved effective for monitoring plastic microparticles in sediments from the Loa River, Chile, revealing that the river is predominantly contaminated with PET microparticles, particularly upstream in the Taira area.
Methods for improving the thermal performance of thermal bridges of lightweight steel-framed buildings
Authors: Qi Xuejun , Tan Yuxin , Tan Jinsheng , Li Xiaohong
Published: December 2024

The existence of a large number of thermal bridges in the Lightweight Steel-Framed (LSF) building leads to its energy loss. The reduction of the heat transfer of thermal bridges is crucial for increasing the thermal performance of the building envelope. In this study, the infrared technology was first used to measure the temperature of LSF buildings, and clear thermal bridge junctions were determined. The THERM software was then used to simulate the thermal bridge of the external wall-beam junction, external and internal corners of the external wall, and cornice. Finally, according to the results obtained by numerical simulation, the thermal bridge was improved for reducing its thermal loss and meeting the design standard of thermal bridge free. The results of the simulation showed that, when the thickness of the rock wool (RW) of the external wall is greater than 75 mm, the linear thermal bridge coefficient (Ψ-value) at the junction of the external wall-beam is less than 0.01 W/(m·K), which meets the design standard of thermal bridge free. When polyurethane (PU) is used instead of RW for the external wall, its external corner meets the design standard of thermal bridge free in the case where the thickness of the PU is greater than 65 mm. The internal corner of the external wall can meet the design standard of thermal bridge free when PU is used instead of RW. The thermal bridge of cornice can meet this standard by adding a PU thermal insulation layer at the indoor sides, having a thickness greater than 20 mm. Studying the thermal bridge of LSF buildings allows to promote the development of the green building technology in China.
Multiple mini-interviews as admission process: A study on perception of health science students in Universiti Brunei Darussalam
Authors: Alam Faiza , Az-Zahraa Fatimah , Idris Fazean , Rahman Hanif Abdul
Published: December 2024

Background

As multiple mini-interviews (MMI) have grown in popularity in selecting applicants to health science programmes, it is essential to comprehend students’ views towards MMI and its usefulness in the admissions process. The study aims to explore students’ perceptions on the usefulness and satisfaction of the MMI as an admission process into the health science programmes offered in Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).

Methods

A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all Year 1 and 2 health sciences students in the university. For qualitative data, the responses obtained from the answers to the open-ended questions were analyzed manually using thematic analysis. Open coding was performed initially to identify words with similar meanings, recurring patterns and ideas. Focus coding was performed to group codes which sounded and felt similar. Themes were formulated and then reviewed. Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis were applied.

Results

127 students participated in this study (53.4% response rate). 38.6% underwent the online MMI and 61.4% had the face-to-face MMI. 81% of participants agreed that the MMI was a fair assessment tool (81%), with adequate time allocated (91%), provided opportunity to demonstrate understanding of the profession (81%), and to express themselves (81%) but only 27% agreed that MMI was an enjoyable experience. No statistically significant differences were detected by gender. Those who did online MMI (89%) reported higher opportunity to express themselves, where 80% agreed it was an effective tool to assess selection of students in the health science profession. Univariate analysis revealed that male participants (42%) and those who did the online MMI (40%) were slightly more satisfied than those who did it onsite.

Conclusion

Student perception is important for MMIs because it provides valuable insights into the effectiveness and fairness of the interview process. Study participants’ perceptions of the MMI were positive, with objective reports on its fairness, timing, and feasibility but felt unprepared for the interview process and less enjoyable. Online MMI is favoured more by participants who rated it higher effectiveness and adequate timing with a better understanding of stations.
Exploring perceptions and experiences of gender-based violence among women in a refugee camp setting in Uganda—A qualitative study
Authors: Lukasiak Miriam , Palmieri Jack , Svensson Pia , Tumwine Gilbert , Agardh Anette
Published: December 2024

Background

Gender-based violence (GBV) is an internationally widespread human rights and public health issue, known to be exacerbated and underreported in humanitarian settings and among conflict-affected populations. A combination of factors including increased vulnerability, lack of protection and marginalization are believed to increase the risk for GBV in settings such as displacement and refugee camps. An increased understanding of GBV in these populations is needed to inform and improve future policy changes and interventions. This qualitative study sought to explore women’s perceptions and experiences of GBV in a refugee camp setting in Uganda to increase the understanding of the dynamics and risk contexts of GBV in the context of displacement and refugee camps.

Methods

This was a qualitative study based on individual semi-structured interviews and content analysis. The interviews were conducted during October 2023 with women living in a refugee camp setting in Western Uganda. The participants (N = 13) included female refugees, residing in the refugee camp, above eighteen years of age and who were survivors of GBV.

Results

Findings showed no easy escape route from gender-based violence, with a high exposure to GBV throughout the refugee experience. The nature of GBV, the perpetrators and risk contexts however seemed to shift throughout the process from conflict to the refugee camp. Increased marginalization and lack of resources compounded by a shift in gender roles in the refugee camp where women seemed to assume the role of the primary provider increased the risk of violence in pursuit of basic needs. Women described extensive intimate partner violence (IPV) in the camp often connected to new gendered power dynamics and the control of resources. Faced with the struggles of migration, marginalization, and GBV, women displayed various coping mechanisms including rebuilding networks and support systems.

Conclusions

Our study showed the complexity of GBV in settings such as refugee camps, where various structural and individual changes involved in migration and life in a refugee camp seemed to create new risk contexts for GBV both inside and outside of the household. Interventions across various dimensions including addressing underlying conditions of marginalization and gendered power dynamics are therefore warranted to address GBV in refugee camps. Further research is essential to better understand this complex issue, as well as the perception and effectiveness of services and interventions in place.
Standardized evaluation of diabetic retinopathy using artificial intelligence and its association with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in Japan: A cross-sectional study

Published: December 2024

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is common in patients with obesity and diabetes and can lead to serious complications. This study aimed to evaluate fundus photographs using artificial intelligence to explore the relationships between diabetic retinopathy (DR), MASLD, and related factors. In this cross-sectional study, we included 1,736 patients with a history of diabetes treatment or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of ≥6.5%. All participants were negative for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C virus antibody and were selected from 33,022 examinees at a health facility in Japan. Fundus photographs were analyzed using RetCAD software, and DR scores were quantified. The presence of DR was determined using two cutoffs: sensitivity (CO20) and specificity (CO50). Steatotic liver (SL) stages were assessed via ultrasound and fibrosis indices and classified into three groups: no SL (SL0), SL with low fibrosis (SL1), and SL with high fibrosis (SL2). Odds ratios (ORs) for the risk of DR associated with each SL stage were calculated using logistic regression, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, HbA1c, C-reactive protein level, and alcohol consumption. The risk of DR was lower in the SL1 (OR: 0.63, 0.54) and SL2 (OR: 0.64, 0.77) groups compared to the SL0 group at CO20 for both the Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4) and the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS), respectively. Additionally, higher levels of cholinesterase were consistently associated with a reduced risk of DR (FIB-4: OR 0.52, NFS: OR 0.54) at CO50. This study demonstrates that MASLD was associated with a reduced risk of DR, with cholinesterase levels providing further protective effects, highlighting the need for further research into the protective mechanisms and refinement of DR evaluation techniques. The standardized AI evaluation method for DR offers a reliable approach for analyzing retinal changes.
Association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and violence cases in South Korea: A nationwide time-stratified care-crossover study
Authors: Park Jiwoo , Oh Jieun , Yoon Hyewon , Kim Ayoung , Kang Cinoo , Kwon Dohoon , Park Jinah , Kim Ho , Lee Whanhee
Published: December 2024

Several studies reported the roles of short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on violent behaviors; however, existing findings had a limitation in assessing the population-representative association between violence and PM2.5 due to the limited data availability: most studies have been based on homicides in monitored urban areas. This study collected violence data from the National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey in South Korea (2015–2019), based on population-representative samples. To cover unmonitored areas, we used the daily modeled PM2.5, the predicted result driven by a machine-learning ensemble model covering all inland districts in South Korea (R2>0.94). We evaluated the national association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and violence cases with a time-stratified case-crossover design. A total of 2,867 violence cases were included. We found an approximately linear association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 (lag 0–2 days) and an increased risk of violence, with an estimated odd ratio (OR) per 10 μg/m3 of PM2.5 of 1.07 with 95% CI: 1.02–1.12. This relationship was more prominent in males and individuals aged 64 years or less than in females and individuals aged 65 years or older for the most part. The estimated excess fraction of violence cases attributable to PM2.5 was 14.53% (95% CI: 4.54%–22.92%), and 6.42% (95% CI: 1.97%–10.26%) of the excess violence was attributable to non-compliance with the WHO guidelines (daily PM2.5 > 15 μg/m3). Our findings might be evidence of the need to establish elaborate action plans and stricter air quality guidelines to reduce the hazardous impacts of PM2.5 on violence in South Korea.

Conflictividad social e ideas políticas en las páginas de la revista mensual La Actividad Humana (Paraná, 1901–1902)
Authors: Musich Walter Nelson
Published: December 2024

Mientras en Europa se estaba constituyendo el campo de la sociología académica, luego de 1890, en la Argentina las profundas y vertiginosas transformaciones sociales y culturales generadas por el proceso de modernización, la gran inmigración y el crecimiento y complejidad de las poblaciones urbanas, pusieron la «cuestión social» y particularmente los temas vinculados al mundo del trabajo y de los trabajadores, en un orden prioritario tanto para el Estado como para el ambiente intelectual, y al interior de este último la proliferación de estudios y ensayos literarios que irán abriendo camino a un campo sociológico autónomo, científico e institucionalizado. En esta línea pueden inscribirse una serie de artículos que abordan la emergencia en los sectores obreros nacionales y locales, de ideas y prácticas adjudicadas al socialismo revolucionario y al anarquismo; publicados en una importante revista de temas de interés general editada en la ciudad de Paraná entre 1901 y 1904 y denominada La Actividad Humana. 
Este trabajo presenta en primer lugar una caracterización general del saber sociológico en la Argentina entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX, enfatizando en la importancia del positivismo como episteme dominante en el período. A continuación, da cuenta brevemente de la incidencia de las ideologías libertarias y sus diferentes formas de expresión y organización en los primeros años del siglo XX en el país, cuando se manifiesta un crecimiento sustancial de la conflictividad social; para lo cual se hace referencia a autores reconocidos que han hecho algunos de los más importantes aportes a la historia de la clase obrera en la Argentina y a sus expresiones políticas, culturales e ideológicas. Dando así un marco teórico e histórico comprensivo, se avanza con la presentación y análisis de los artículos seleccionados de La Actividad Humana, las particulares lecturas que sus autores hacen de un asumido tiempo de crisis, la presencia del conflicto, de su politización, y los peligros de este escenario respecto al orden social. Se advierte al lector que el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido registrar una primera lectura de la fuente y que no se hallará en él un ejercicio de profundización y discusión teórica ni un exhaustivo relevamiento bibliográfico sobre el tema.
Modernización estatal y democracia
Authors: Guisao Álvarez Juan Daniel , Arias Ledesma Daniela , Mojica Martínez Laura , Valencia Hernández Melissa
Published: December 2024

Este artículo compara cómo se produjo la modernización estatal en Colombia y Guatemala en la década de 1960, problematizando su relación con la democracia. Para realizar la investigación se operacionalizaron los conceptos de modernización de Estado y democracia, planteando sus relaciones a partir del estudio de contextos, discursos y reformas. Para la recolección de información se revisaron fuentes primarias y secundarias; los archivos consultados fueron: el Archivo General de la Nación y de la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango, en Colombia; y el Archivo General de Centro América y el de Biblioteca Nacional, en Guatemala; además del National Archive estadounidense. Se concluye que la modernización del Estado transformó el sistema político desde una lógica capitalista del orden tradicional, permitiendo aperturas en servicios sociales y creación de clase media, pero también mantuvo la cohesión desde el control democrático en el marco de partidos y grupos tradicionales combinadas con lógicas de control social.

El Daseinsanalyse y la experiencia patológica en los textos tempranos de Foucault
Authors: Abeijon Matias
Published: December 2024

La investigación que se presenta tiene como objetivo el análisis teórico de los cruces entre la filosofía y el Daseinsanalyse de Binswanger en la producción temprana de Michel Foucault en la década del cincuenta. Se pretende realizar un análisis teórico de los argumentos en los que se apoyan una serie de postulados valorativos y críticas a la psicología y al psicoanálisis. A su vez, estos argumentos derivan del análisis de la antropología binswangeriana. Los postulados existenciales sobre la enfermedad mental, la reelaboración de críticas filosóficas de principios del siglo XX a la psicología naturalista, el problema de las relaciones entre la facticidad, la existencia concreta y la expresión histórica de la libertad, son algunos de los tópicos que se abordan.

Se mantuvo la confidencialidad de la información, el anonimato de los participantes y se diligenció el consentimiento informado.?

Resultados: El 55.98 % de los participantes percibió positivamente su estado de salud, mientras que el 44.02 % tuvo una percepción negativa. Existe relación estadísticamente significativa entre la calidad de vida global y la Salud Autopercibida: a menor calidad vida, menor es la prevalencia de Salud Autopercibida positiva (Calidad de vida Buena; RP = 0,814; IC95 % = 0,750 - 0,884; Calidad de vida Regular RP = 0,923 IC95 % = 0,857 -0,993).

Conclusiones: El envejecimiento es una etapa de la vida que por sus características afecta la salud física y mental, que incide sobre la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores y, a su vez, sobre la forma como estos perciben su estado de salud.
Eklezjalna duchowość communio w kontekście terminologii eklezjalnej Soboru Watykańskiego II
Authors: Tatar Marek
Published: December 2024

Życie i rozwój duchowy chrześcijan są nierozerwalnie związane z Kościołem. Teza ta wyraźnie sprzeciwia się współczesnym tendencjom indywidualistycznym i synkretycznym. Proces ten wymaga ciągłego poznawania i identyfikowania się z naturą Mistycznego Ciała Chrystusa, przy jednoczesnym uznawaniu Kościoła jako Ludu Bożego. Ta prawda została wyjaśniona współczesnemu chrześcijaństwu przez Sobór Watykański II. Należy podkreślić, że Kościół, pomimo swojej doczesnej struktury i ludzkich słabości, jest dziełem Chrystusa poprzez działanie Ducha Świętego. Communio, które definiuje naturę zjednoczenia z Chrystusem, Głową Kościoła, objawia się w jedności wszystkich wierzących. Ta jedność nie zaciera indywidualnego charakteru życia każdego chrześcijanina, ale jest źródłem uświęcającego bogactwa jedności pośród różnorodnych darów, charyzmatów i powołań. Służy również jako fundament ekumenizmu w najszerszym sensie. Świadomość tożsamości eklezjalnej musi pozostać podstawowym punktem odniesienia zarówno dla życia i rozwoju każdego wierzącego, jak i całego Kościoła. Stanowi ona podstawę działalności apostolskiej i ewangelizacyjnej. Współczesne wyzwania wymagają głębokiej formacji kościelnej, która ujawnia uświęcającą i uświęcaną naturę Kościoła.
Squirrel search algorithm-support vector machine: Assessing civil engineering budgeting course using an SSA-optimized SVM model
Authors: He Yanqing , Shi Ling , Yao Xiaoqin , Zhang Haojie , Al-Barakati Abdullah A.
Published: December 2024

In the field of civil engineering education, accurately evaluating the effectiveness of budget courses is crucial. However, traditional methods of evaluation tend to be cumbersome and subjective. In recent years, machine learning technology has demonstrated immense potential in educational evaluation. Nevertheless, in practical application, the machine learning-based evaluation model for civil engineering budget courses faces the predicament of inadequate evaluation accuracy. To solve this problem, the squirrel search algorithm technology was used to establish support vector machine parameters and create optimization algorithms. The performance of the proposed optimization algorithm was tested, and the results showed that the accuracy of the proposed algorithm was 0.927, which was better than similar prediction algorithms. Then, the empirical analysis of the proposed civil engineering budget course evaluation model showed that student satisfaction and student examination scores had increased to 92 and 94 points, respectively. The above results reveal that the proposed optimization algorithm and course evaluation model have good performance. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed curriculum evaluation method can significantly improve the learning efficiency of students and the teaching quality of civil engineering budgeting methods courses.

Authors: Montero Carreras Claudia , Cortés Olivera Berta , Saiz-Vivó Raquel , Ferrer Menduiña Queralt , Garcia Martínez Sandra , Rodríguez Pérez M. A. , Rodríguez Melcón Alberto , Prats Rodriguez Pilar
Published: December 2024

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the association of aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with genetic abnormalities and postnatal symptomatology, by comparing isolated and non-isolated ARSA cases.

Methods

Retrospective, descriptive and comparative study involving fetuses diagnosed with ARSA during routine fetal ultrasound scans, between 19 and 40 weeks, in a tertiary referral university hospital in Barcelona from January 2007 to December 2023.

Results

Out of 154 fetuses diagnosed with ARSA, 75.3 % (116) were classified as isolated cases, while 24.7 % (38) had associated structural anomalies. Non-invasive prenatal testing with cell-free DNA was performed in 27.3 % (42) of cases, yielding low-risk results in 96.6 %, with only one case of trisomy 21 detected. Genetic evaluation was pursued in 15.6 % (24) of cases, revealing abnormalities in three fetuses: one with trisomy 21 and two with 22q11 deletion. All affected fetuses had associated structural defects. Overall, 151 fetuses survived after birth, there were two terminations of pregnancy and one stillbirth. Mild symptoms at birth were observed in 1.9 % (3) of newborns, all from the non-isolated ARSA group.

Conclusions

These findings emphasize the significance of distinguishing between isolated and non-isolated ARSA cases in prenatal diagnosis and clinical management, suggesting that isolated ARSA may be considered a normal vascular variation.
The Temporal Difference and Timelessness in Kant and Heidegger
Authors: Ellis Addison
Published: December 2024

I spell out two theses, one shared by Kant and Heidegger, the other Kant’s alone: (1) there is a difference between “within-time-ness” (Innerzeitigkeit) and original or pure time (the temporal difference); (2) the temporal difference is articulated by a self-conscious act not bound by time. While each agrees that the “time-less” original or pure time has limits within which particular temporal determinations have their significance, Kant goes further in asserting that the pure ‘I’ must cognize the determinate boundaries of original or pure time if objective cognition is to be possible. The ‘I’ thus rejects time as a horizon of its own significance. An understanding of this argument suggests why Kant’s position is not as obviously susceptible to Heidegger’s criticism: not only does Kant positively argue that the ‘I’ is atemporal, but the content of this argument tells us why it is impossible for the ‘I’ to be ‘extant’ or a superadded representation in need of unification with temporality. Finally, it suggests that the dispute between Kant’s and Heidegger’s philosophical orientations rests not on whether temporality has been understood, but on how the ultimate conditions of intelligibility relate to their limits.
Tema central: Las revistas académicas de historia y ciencias sociales en México. Reflexiones, balances y desafíos en tiempos digitales Las revistas de historia y ciencias sociales en México. Un perfil de largo plazo
Authors: Martínez Delgado Gerardo
Published: December 2024

En el artículo se hace una revisión a la historia de las revistas especializadas en historia y ciencias sociales en México. Se ensaya una distinción de tres periodos: uno entre la década de 1920 a 1950, otro de 1951 a 1980 y uno más que cubre los últimos cuarenta años. Los rasgos que se marcan en cada uno de estos cortes se cruzan con procesos muy diversos en todas escalas, entre los que se destacan los ritmos de la promoción institucional a la educación universitaria y la ciencia. Junto a todo lo anterior, en el texto se subraya la revolución digital y sus efectos sobre la actividad científica y sobre la producción de revistas académicas. Finalmente, se enuncian algunas posiciones relacionadas con retos que deben discutirse permanente y colectivamente.
Acatar para vender. Editores censurados en el arzobispado de México, 1871-1891
Authors: Bárcenas García Felipe
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se analizan las razones por las cuales una parte de los editores de México sometieron voluntariamente sus manuscritos a la censura eclesiástica durante 1871-1891. Se parte del supuesto de que, en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, existió un sólido negocio editorial en torno al impreso religioso, en el cual participaron personas que, buscando que el clero promoviera sus publicaciones para incrementar sus ventas, acataron las directrices de Pelagio de Labastida y Dávalos, arzobispo de México en 1863-1891, quien ordenó a los católicos que enviaran sus textos religiosos a los censores diocesanos. Para cumplir con el objetivo planteado, se examinan expedientes resguardados en el Archivo Histórico del Arzobispado de México, que demuestran que la censura eclesiástica no sólo continuó funcionando después de establecerse la Constitución de 1857, sino que su práctica se agilizó, toda vez que al clero le urgía contrarrestar la influencia de publicaciones liberales y protestantes.
Un panorama desalentador: el obispado de La Habana ante la Guerra del 95
Authors: González Soto Sandor
Published: December 2024

Con el inicio de la Guerra de 1895, el obispado de La Habana estuvo envuelto en una situación extremadamente polémica. Los lazos que ataron al clero hispano con la Corona y la propia proyección conservadora de la institución eclesiástica frente a la sociedad insular impulsaron a los líderes diocesanos a tomar partido en el conflicto bélico. En esta lógica, por medio de la investigación efectuada en el Archivo del Arzobispado de La Habana, en el presente artículo se define la posición asumida por el obispado de La Habana ante la Guerra del 95, se explican las consecuencias del conflicto para dicha institución eclesiástica y se analizan los resultados de las políticas de restauración para el obispado en la posguerra.
El corresponsal Felipe Robles. Usos y prácticas alrededor de las cartas cristeras
Authors: Salazar Echavarría Alexánder
Published: December 2024

El texto analiza los usos y las prácticas alrededor de las cartas cristeras a partir del estudio del caso de Aurelio Robles Acevedo, bajo su seudónimo de Felipe Robles, quien en la década de 1930 fue jefe del Comité Especial de la Liga Nacional Defensora de la Libertad (LNDL). El objetivo del artículo es poner en discusión la relevancia de la escritura privada dentro del conflicto cristero, en su segunda etapa. Para su análisis, nos ocupamos de la manera en que las cartas se produjeron y circularon, así como del impacto que tuvieron en el desarrollo final de la Liga.
Abreviaturas na internet: aspectos gráficos, fonético-fonológicos e morfológicos no registro da coda silábica
Authors: Fusca Carla Jeanny , Sobrinho Viviane Vomeiro Luis
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, objetivamos analisar a frequência de registro de codas silábicas em abreviaturas na internet, bem como possíveis relações dessas grafias com características de enunciados falados. Fundamentamo-nos, para tanto, na concepção de heterogeneidade da escrita (CORRÊA, 2004), na noção de sílaba fonológica (SELKIRK, 1982) e em características fonético-acústicas dos segmentos enfocados. Com base em um corpus constituído de “conversas” on-line coletadas em salas de bate-papo virtual (chat) em aberto, observamos diferentes porcentagens de registros gráficos de nasal, semivogal, vibrante (os quais relacionamos a fatores fonético-fonológicos) e de fricativa (relacionados à morfologia da palavra) em posição de coda silábica. A análise dos dados traz evidências de que, na internet, o escrevente não se guia apenas por aspectos da oralidade, mas também por aspectos de (suas) práticas letradas/escritas. Palavras-chave: aquisição da escrita; letramento; abreviação; sílaba; bate-papo virtual.Abbreviations on the internet: graphic, phonetic-phonological and morphologic aspects on the coda syllabic registerAbstract In this article, we aimed at analyzing the frequency of syllabic codas register in abbreviations on the internet and their possible relations with oral aspects of the language. We are based on the conception of writing heterogeneity (CORRÊA, 2004), on the phonological syllable notions (SELKIRK, 1982) and on the phonetic-acoustic characteristics of the segments on focus. Starting from a constituted corpus of on-line chats, we observed different percentages of nasal, semivowel, vibrant (related to phonetic-phonological factors) and fricative (related to morphology) registrations in the position of the syllabic coda. The analysis of the data shows that the writer, on the internet, is not just guided by oral aspects of the language, but also by aspects of literacy practices.Keywords: writing; literacy, abbreviation; syllable; virtual chat.
Da lógica da justificação à lógica da descoberta. Ser surdo num mundo ouvinte: um testemunho autobiográfico
Authors: Coelho Orquídia
Published: December 2024

O nosso tema de análise é uma história de sucesso de um surdo, através do seu testemunho autobiográfico. Como muitas outras histórias de vida, esta dá- nos conta de qualidades humanas como a persistência, a dedicação, ou uma imensa vontade de contornar e vencer osbtáculos. Mas, como iremos descobrir, neste caso, o nosso “protagonista” tem vindo a travar também, desde muito cedo, e ao longo de toda a sua vida, uma luta e vigilância atentas e permanentes, apenas possíveis de sustentar mobilizando elevadas doses de esforço e empenhamento e, ainda, abdicando de alguns dos seus direitos existenciais e de cidadania. A reflexão proposta em torno deste testemunho procura salientar alguns destes aspectos, e equacioná-los, à luz da situação de uma expressiva maioria de muitos outros surdos, que continuam a não ter acesso a uma educação condizente com as suas especificidades culturais e linguísticas, que continuam a não chegar à Universidade, a não aceder a uma Formação Profissional qualificante, a não ter direito a uma vinculação profissional, à independência econômica, social e afectiva, e a uma vida plena enquanto cidadãos.Palavras-Chave: Pessoa surda; testemunho autobiográfico; língua de sinais.From the logic of justification to the logic of the discovery. Being a deaf in a listener world: an autobiographical testimonyAbstractOur theme of analysis is a deaf person successful life story, given by his autobiographic testimony. As many other life stories, this one is about human qualities, as persistence, dedication, or an enormous will to bypass and win the obstacles. But, as we will find out in this case, during all the his life, and since a very earlier period, our “protagonist” has performed an attentive and permanent fight and vigilance, only possible to sustain when mobilizing an huge amount of effort and determination and, above all, giving up of some of his existential and citizenship rights. The proposed reflection around this testimony aims to emphasize some of these aspects and to ponder them, considering the situation of an expressive majority of many other deaf persons, who still don’t have access to an appropriate education according to their cultural and linguistic specificities, who cannot go to University, who cannot accede to a professional qualifying formation, who don’t have the right to a professional linking, to economic, social and affective independence, and a complete life as citizens. Key Words: Deaf People; autobiographic testimony; sign language.

A importância da pesquisa como princípio educativo na atuação pedagógica de professores de educação infantil e ensino fundamental
Authors: Freiberger Regiane Müller , Berbel Neusi Aparecida Navas
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo, que trata da pesquisa como princípio educativo, desenvolveu-se por meio da Metodologia da Problematização com o Arco de Maguerez, buscando-se investigar de que forma a pesquisa está presente na formação e na atuação pedagógica de professores. Constatou-se que o educar pela pesquisa promove a (re) construção do conhecimento e aprendizados que superam a reprodução de informações. Verificou-se que as Diretrizes Legais incentivam, mas não priorizam, a formação com a pesquisa. Professoras consultadas não vivenciaram pesquisa em sua formação profissional. A Proposta Pedagógica da escola de referência também não contempla a pesquisa. Aponta-se para a necessidade de reflexão crítica dos princípios educativos da pesquisa no processo de ensino e aprendizagem e apresentam-se medidas propiciadoras de tal vivência na formação de professores. Palavras-chave: Princípios educativos da pesquisa. Metodologia da Problematização. Educação pela pesquisa. Formação de professores.The importance of research as an educational principle in the pedagogical performance of children's education and primary schoolAbstractThe present study, which covers research as an educational principle, was developed by means of the Problematization Methodology with Maguerez’s Arch, while attempting to investigate how research is present in teachers’ education and in teachers’ pedagogical performance. It was verified that education by research promotes (re) building of knowledge and learning that goes beyond the reproduction of information. It was realized that the Legal Guidelines do not prioritize Teachers’ education with research. The teachers investigated did not come into contact with research in their professional education. The pedagogical proposal of the reference school does not consider research either. It is pointed out that there is a need of a critical reflection about educational principles so as to include research in the teaching process, and, measures promoting such experience in teachers’ education are also herein presented.Keywords: Research educational principles; Problematization Methodology, Education by research, Teachers’ education.
