The Language of Ghosts in Postwar Vietnam
Authors: Robert Christophe
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Trauma and PTSD pervade American daily discourses and recent American political history. The Vietnam War – and the regular return of foreign wars in 20 th century American history and into the new millennium – provide one main point of emergence for current psychiatric, biomedical, and psychoanalytic models of wounded psyches. A large archive of theoretical and empirical studies has shown that these terms lack conceptual clarity and remain deeply contested. Yet, as I discuss here, if one listens ethnographically to experiences of war and state violence among southern Vietnamese other narratives emerge. There are no discourses of "trauma" in daily life in Vietnam, since psychic shock is not conceptualized in these terms. Instead, flexible cultural models of bad death, errant souls, and complex spirit worlds provide frames for elaboration. Through detailed ethnographic narratives in Saigon (now renamed Ho Chi Minh City), and reflections on my graduate school training and experiences at Cornell, I examine notions of haunting and ghostly apparitions, as the main local frameworks for interpreting and making sense of these violent pasts and their ongoing aftermath today. Academic life at Cornell in the late 1990s and 2000s, and contemporary academic research, provide key examples of the ongoing afterlife of these harsh conflicts, with problematic repercussions on the emerging study of postwar Vietnam.
Unlearning
Authors: Funahashi Daena
Published: December 2024

Abstract: As James Siegel puts it, thinking is more than the power to formulate. It's more than the capacity to simply put ideas together. There is another step. Thinking fully requires us to go beyond what we can formulate as thought and to take account of what remains beyond our grasp. In this mode of thinking, securing the object of thought is not the goal, but only the beginning. This orientation to thinking cuts across Siegel's work. In contrast to anthropological perspectives focused on knowledge production, Siegel's approach to thinking – and to anthropology – demands a re-examination of the relationship between thinking and the singularity of what provokes thinking. Moreover, this approach to thinking demands a certain unlearning of what we think is thinking. Here, I explore the significance of these points to anthropological practice.

Jim Siegel, Cornell, Indonesia, Beyond
Authors: Keane Webb
Published: December 2024

Abstract: I encountered Jim Siegel soon after arriving as an outsider to the Cornell Southeast Asia scene in 1985. This essay reflects on the tension between approaching Indonesia as an anthropologist and anthropology as an Indonesianist, on Siegel's ethnographic use of Derrida, and the impact this experience had on my own work.
Trieste Through Time: A Geographer's Brief Impressions
Authors: Sumner Ray
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: The city of Trieste is located in Italy at the northeastern corner of the Adriatic Sea. It has been my good fortune to visit twice this fascinating place, whose history dates from the ancient Romans through the Habsburg dynasty, and two World Wars, and into present times. Studies of European history, German language, and English literature, together with many years of teaching various kinds of geography, brought deeper meaning to places and experiences in and around Trieste. The city is known also for the literary figures who have lived and worked there. This is a brief account of several discoveries and experiences that further expanded and enriched my geographical knowledge.
Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Adjustment of Tributary Drainages in Response to Downcutting of the Salt River, Northeastern Sonoran Desert, Arizona
Authors: Roberts Micheala , Haar Matthew , Messer Ophelia , Dorn Ronald I.
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: When the Salt River started flowing across a topographic low of the Mazatzal Mountains of Arizona prior to 3.2 million years ago, it lowered the base level in its tributary drainages. The basic characteristics of these watersheds suggest that they may have been close to a general state of dynamic geomorphic equilibrium. However, this inferred dynamic equilibrium does not include the topography of the Salt River canyon within about 150 m of the river that displays dramatic relief linked to differential erodibility of rock types. We interpret this non-equilibrium state to be a response to formation of a major downstream river terrace about 330 thousand years ago that then produced a wave of knickzone recession and Salt River downcutting upstream. Thus, the present-day topography of the Mazatzal Mountains draining to the Salt River consists of an out-of-equilibrium chaotic inner canyon topography below smooth landscapes in a dynamic equilibrium.
Protease-activated receptor 2 deficient mice develop less angiotensin II induced left ventricular hypertrophy but more cardiac fibrosis
Authors: Meyer zu Schwabedissen Albrecht , Vergarajauregui Silvia , Bertog Marko , Amann Kerstin , Engel Felix B. , Daniel Christoph
Published: December 2024

Aims

Activation of Protease Activated Receptor 2 (PAR2) has been shown to be involved in regulation of injury-related processes including inflammation, fibrosis and hypertrophy. In this study we will investigate the role of PAR2 in cardiac injury in a mouse model of hypertension using continuous infusion with angiotensin II.

Methods

Hypertension was induced in 12 weeks old wildtype (wt, n = 8) and PAR2 deficient mice (n = 9) by continuous infusion with angiotensin II for 4 weeks using osmotic minipumps. At the end, hearts were collected for analysis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial capillary supply, fibrosis and localization of PAR2 expression using histological, immunohistological and mRNA expression analysis techniques. In addition, rat cardiac fibroblasts were treated with angiotensin II and PAR2 was inhibited by a blocking antibody and the PAR2 inhibitor AZ3451.

Results

Cardiac PAR2 mRNA expression was downregulated by 40±20% in wt mice treated with AngII compared to untreated controls. Four weeks after AngII treatment, LVH was significantly increased in AngII-treated wt mice compared to similarly treated PAR2-deficient animals as determined by relative heart weight, left ventricular cross-sectional area, and analysis of ventricular lumen area determined on sections. Treatment of wt mice resulted in an approximately 3-fold increase in cardiac expression of FGF23, which was 50% lower in PAR2-deficient animals compared to wt animals and therefore no longer significantly different from expression levels in untreated control mice. In contrast, cardiac interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in PAR2-deficient mice compared to similar treated wt controls, as assessed by Sirius Red staining (>3-fold) and collagen IV staining (>2-fold). Additional experiments with isolated cardiac fibroblasts showed induction of pro-fibrotic genes when treated with PAR2 inhibitors.

Conclusion

In angiotensin II-induced cardiac injury, PAR2 deficiency has an ambivalent effect, enhancing fibrosis on the one hand, but reducing LVH on the other.
Predictors of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) among health care providers during the COVID–19 pandemic at a regional teaching and referral hospital in Western Kenya
Authors: Bundi Jared Makori , Morema Everlyne Nyanchera , Shisanya Morris Senghor
Published: December 2024

Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is an unprecedented challenge to health care systems globally and locally. The study aimed to assess generalized anxiety disorder and associated factors among health care providers (HCP) during COVID–19 pandemic. A total of 202 health care providers participated in the study. This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study. The survey questionnaire consisted of six components: demographic factors, occupational factors, psychological factors, socioeconomic factors, and the multi-dimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS). The symptoms of anxiety were measured by a standardized questionnaire, a 7–item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD—7). Chi-Square statistic was used as a selection criterion for the predictors of generalized anxiety disorder to be included in the final binary regression analysis model at α<0.05. Among 202 health care providers interviewed, the overall prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 59.9%. Some of the aspects that reduced the risk of GAD were; being a younger HCP (OR 0.11, P = 0.004), fewer years of experience (OR 0.09, P = 0.008), availability of workplace precautionary measures (OR 0.06, P = 0.004), lower income level (OR = 0.04, P = 0.014), living alone (OR = 0.02, P = 0.008) and permanent employment terms (OR = 0.0001, P< 0.0001). On the other hand, insufficient state of personal protective equipment (PPEs) (OR = 10.64, P = 0.033), having a family member as a COVID-19 contact (OR = 11.24, P = 0.023) and facing COVID-19 related stigma (OR = 8.06, P = 0.001) significantly increased the odds of GAD. The study result is a call to prioritize the health care providers’ psychological well-being by putting in place measures to preserve and enhance their resilience in order to ensure they work optimally and sustain service delivery during a pandemic.
Research on intelligent decision support systems for oil and gas exploration based on machine learning
Authors: Wang Zisong , Cheng Zhiliang , Ding Xiujian , Xia Lu
Published: December 2024

The process of extracting oil and gas via borehole drilling is largely dependent on subsurface structures, and thus, well log analysis is a major concern for economic feasibility. Well logs are essential for understanding the geology below the earth’s surface, which allows for the estimation of the available hydrocarbon resources. The incompleteness of these logs, on the other hand, is a major hindrance to downstream analysis success. This study, however, addresses the above challenges and presents a deep Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) model specialized using a new hyperparameter tuning algorithm. There is an evidence gap that we try to fill: well log prediction using LSTM has not been extensively documented, particularly on reconstruction of missing data. In order to remedy this, we develop a new algorithm entitled Elite Preservation Strategy Chimp Optimization Algorithm (EPSCHOA), which will improve the tuning of LSTM hyperparameters. EPSCHOA enhances prediction performance by preserving the diversity of the strongest candidates and transforming the most effective predictor resources into less effective ones. A comparative analysis of the LSTM-EPSCHOA model was carried out with both LSTM and E-LSTM models, including their various extensions, LSTM-CHOA, LSTM-HGSA, LSTM-IMPA, LSTM-SEB-CHOA, and LSTM-GOLCHOA, even as common forecasting models using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Gradient Boosting (GB), and AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). The results of the performance tests demonstrate that the LSTM-EPSCHOA model outperforms in all aspects, as evidenced by its R2 values of.98, RMSE of 0.022, and MAPE of 0.701% during training, and R2 values of 0.96, RMSE of 0.025, and MAPE of 0.698% during testing. These are considerably superior to other measures used compared to what was achieved using explicit modeling using LSTM, which stood at R2 of 0.59, RMSE of 0.101, and MAPE of 2.588%. The LSTM-EPSCHOA proved to give models faster rates of convergence and lower error measurements than usual models, which clearly demonstrated its efficiency in solving the problem of inadequate well-log data. The new approach is regarded as having many useful potentials to boost well-log interpretations in the oil sector.
Patient reported experiences and readmissions for people with diabetes-related foot disease admitted to public hospitals, New South Wales, Australia, 2019–2022
Authors: Burnett Alexander C. R. , Williamson Jennifer , Roberts Aedan G. K. , Marashi-Pour Sadaf , Hay Liz
Published: December 2024

Objective

Patient reported measures of hospital care are known predictors of readmission, even after accounting for risk related to age and comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the association between patient experience of diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) hospital care and unplanned hospital readmission, with a primary focus on DFD-related readmissions and a secondary focus on all-cause readmissions.

Methods

A retrospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted by linking NSW Adult Admitted Patient Survey data with administrative hospital data for persons hospitalised with DFD identified through diagnostic and/or procedure codes. Univariable and multivariable shared-frailty Cox regression models were used to examine the association between key aspects of patient experiences and 90-days unplanned hospital readmission over the period 2019–2022.

Results

Overall, 3,173 DFD patients were included. Ninety-day readmission rates for respondents with DFD were 9% for DFD-related readmissions and 16% for all-cause readmissions. Adults with DFD who could not understand explanations offered by health professionals were at increased risk of DFD-related readmission compared to those who could always understand (Hazard ratio (HR) 2.43, CI: 1.47–4.00), as well as patients who did not feel well enough to leave hospital at discharge (HR 1.93, CI: 1.41–2.64) or reported the care received was not well organised (HR 2.24, 1.45–3.47). Patients reporting that they did not receive enough information regarding their condition, treatment, or how to manage care at home were found to have a DFD-related readmission risk that was 1.5 to 1.8-times greater than those who did. Similar patterns were observed for all-cause readmissions, albeit with generally smaller effect sizes.

Conclusions

The findings highlight that elements of care related to communication, coordination, and involvement in decision making may influence unplanned readmission rates for patients with chronic conditions, such as DFD. The impact appears to be more pronounced for DFD-related readmissions compared to all-cause readmissions.
A percolation theory analysis of continuous functional paths in protein sequence space affirms previous insights on the optimization of proteins for adaptability
Authors: Miller Brian J.
Published: December 2024

A key question in protein evolution and protein engineering is the prevalence of evolutionary paths between distinct proteins. An evolutionary path corresponds to a continuous path of functional sequences in sequence space leading from one protein to another. Natural selection could direct a mutating coding region in DNA along a continuous functional path (CFP), so a new protein could arise far more easily than if a coding region were randomly mutating without any constraints. The distribution and length of CFPs undergird theories on the origin of natural proteins and strategies for engineering artificial proteins. This study examined the distribution of long CFPs within the framework of percolation theory, which addresses the proportion of randomly filled sites in a lattice above which long continuous paths of neighboring filled sites become common (aka percolation threshold). It also used a simulation to demonstrate that the percolation threshold in protein sequence space approximates the reciprocal of the average number of protein variants that could result from a single mutation. For diverse proteins, the ratio was calculated between the percolation threshold and the proportion of sequences reported to perform a protein’s function, relative to the total number of sequences of that protein’s length. This ratio represents a measure of the biasing in the distribution of functional sequences required for evolutionary paths to possibly exist, so it provides a means to quantify the specificity in protein sequence and structure required to allow for a protein to develop new catalytic functions. The consistently high ratio demonstrates that CFPs can only connect distinct proteins if the biasing in the distribution of functional sequences in sequence space is often extremely large. Regions in sequence space are identified where the biasing is sufficient to allow for extensive CFPs. The calculated levels of required biasing and the identified regions of high biasing reinforce the conclusion of previous studies that some proteins are highly optimized, so mutations can enable or enhance catalytic functions while maintaining the protein’s structure. The conclusions of this study also challenge the results of a previous application of percolation theory to sequence space that did not properly incorporate the percolation threshold. Steps are outlined for integrating the percolation threshold and the biasing measure into studies of protein sequence space.
Exploring the dual relationship between fintech and financial inclusion in developing countries and their impact on economic growth: Supplement or substitute?
Authors: Azmeh Chadi , Al-Raeei Marwan
Published: December 2024

This study rigorously examines the complex interplay between financial technology (Fintech), financial inclusion, and their collective effects on economic growth in developing nations. Employing a robust panel regression methodology enhanced by Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) techniques, this research analyzes an extensive dataset comprising 108 countries categorized into low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income levels across four pivotal years (2011, 2014, 2017, and 2021). Our analysis focuses on two key dimensions of Fintech—specifically, the adoption of digital payments and e-commerce via mobile technologies—and traditional financial access indicators, including the density of ATMs, bank branches, and active banking accounts. The findings demonstrate a predominantly positive effect of Fintech variables on economic growth, particularly through improved digital payment systems. Conversely, traditional financial inclusion metrics frequently show a negative correlation with growth trajectories. Notably, our research underscores a significant positive interaction between digital payment usage and ATM density, indicating a synergistic relationship that enhances the performance of traditional banking systems. In contrast, a substitutability effect arises, where increased dependence on mobile technologies diminishes the relevance of traditional financial infrastructure, potentially obstructing broader economic growth. These findings carry critical policy implications, advocating for a cohesive strategy that fosters both Fintech innovations and traditional financial sectors to maximize economic growth and inclusivity. A deliberate emphasis on synchronizing innovative financial solutions with the strengthening of conventional banking is essential for promoting sustainable economic development in these resource-constrained regions.
‘To infinity and beyond’? A textual analysis of the representation of friendship between Buzz and Woody in Disney–Pixar’s Toy Story films
Authors: Jandaly Anita , Chang-Kredl Sandra
Published: December 2024

Toy Story is one of the most successful film series in the Disney–Pixar enterprise with the friendship between the protagonists Buzz and Woody being central to the franchise’s critical acclaim. However, despite the social phenomenon of friendship and its significance in children’s lives, a dearth of research exists on the types of friendship ideologies these films promote. This study used qualitative textual analysis to investigate the dyadic friendship narrative between Buzz and Woody across the four Toy Story films. Using an inductive and deductive analysis on the behaviours and interactions between Buzz and Woody, three main themes emerged regarding Toy Story’s ideology of friendship. The first theme yields insight into Buzz and Woody’s friendship formation, which were found to be influenced by internal (e.g., self-esteem), external (e.g., peers) and interpersonal features (e.g., self-disclosure). The second theme suggests that friendship is maintained through affective reciprocity, whereas the final theme upholds the notion that (hetero) romantic partnerships supplant close friendships. Practical implications consider the importance for parents and practitioners to engage in critical analysis of popular portrayals of friendship, whereby Toy Story may be used as a pedagogical tool to discuss friendship, including its formation, maintenance and stability over time, with children.

Este artigo traz uma pesquisa bibliográfica realizada principalmente na base de dados Scopus, a principal utilizada no Qualis (CAPES, 2023) mas com o complemento de outras bases como Clarivate e Google Scholar, buscando um referencial teórico para tomada de decisão com enfoque em inovação. O intuito foi identificar abordagens teóricas de tomada de decisão e processo decisório ao longo do tempo, mas filtrando tais abordagens envolvendo inovação, principalmente no enfoque de gestão. Nesse sentido, foi elucidativa a escolha de estudos que tornasse mais evidente a relação entre decisão e inovação e que permitissem criar uma perspectiva para entender como acontece a relação entre decisão e inovação a partir do panorama dos estudos. Em relação ao que foi destacado na revisão de literatura e os resultados do mapeamento foi possível inferir 5 dimensões que contribuem para a análise das decisões em inovação. Essa dinâmica foi vista nos artigos, a partir da conexão de estudos com teoria a priori que enfatizavam tanto o processo de inovação quanto o processo de tomada de decisão. Em suma, identificou-se como elemento central nos artigos, a tomada de decisão com alvo nos gestores e o campo da inovação e das pequenas e médias empresas como principais fontes de dados deste fluxo de informação que foi desenhado.

Bronchial Toilets in Sepsis Patients Treated in The Intensive Care Unit (ICU): A review On Indications and Complications
Authors: Lubis Andriamuri Primaputra , Irina Rr Sinta , Karim T. Abdul
Published: December 2024

The respiratory system is very important for human life. Its performance determines the quality of life. Physical exercise helps patients suffering from various diseases to build physical fitness, improve respiratory mechanisms, and reduce secretions. It is important to choose the right technique for such patients, using fitness and strength training, breathing exercises, bronchial cleansing. Bronchial clearing aims to remove respiratory tract secretions that contribute to recurrent inflammation and respiratory distress. This is based on the position which facilitates the removal of dense secretions due to the influence of gravity. Pharmacological measures to reduce the secretions in the respiratory tract and facilitate coughing, should be administered prior to drainage. Tracheo-bronchial toilet is a method used to clear mucus and secretions from the airways. The benefits of a tracheo-bronchial toilet include preventing infections such as pneumonia and improving drainage of secretions. Methods used in tracheo-bronchial toilets include temporary naso-tracheal intubation with small tubes, percussion, positioning, and coughing. A tracheotomy can also be performed for lung clearance. Toilet bronchoscopy is a potentially therapeutic intervention to aspirate retained secretions in the endotracheal tube and airway and restore atelectasis.
Compliance in Filling Surgical Safety Checklist at The Central Surgical Installation
Authors: Noprianty Richa , Putri Riski Anisa , Manuopo Hilmy
Published: December 2024

Background: One indicator to reduce unwanted events in the operating room is to implement the filling of the surgical safety checklist (SSC) sheet.Objective: The purpose of the study was to identify the level of compliance in filling SSC in the sign in, time out, and sign out phases at the central surgical installation.Methods: The research method uses quantitative descriptive with an observational study approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with 72 respondents. The research instrument uses SSC sheets according to Hospital’s SOP which refer to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. This research has received ethical approval from RS X with number 070/17/Ethical Clearance/RS X/III/2023. Data collection was carried out by researchers and research assistants, namely anesthesia students who were practicing at the hospital. In addition, this data was also checked by the anesthesia management team before analysis. Data analysis uses univariate analysis with the form of data presentation using categorical data, the results of which are frequency distributions and percentages using computer software.Results: The results showed that in the SSC filling the sign in phase had the highest non-compliance rate on aspiration risk items and complicating factors (63%), while in the time out phase the highest non-compliance rate on the estimated length of operation item (90%), and in the sign out phase the highest non-compliance rate on verbal confirmation items of instrument completeness, the number of gauze or sponges, number of needles/other sharp tools (68%).Conclusion: The filling of SSC sheets has not been fully carried out and the filling is done at the end after the operation is completed due to the workload and lack of labor resources. In addition, to speed up the process of transferring patients from the pre-anesthesia room to the operating table. It is expected that the surgery team (doctors, anesthesiologists, and surgical nurses) can be used as input so that the filling of the SSC sheet can be applied according to the sign in, time out, and sign out phases to minimize the possibility of surgical risk errors.

Lipschitz extension theorems with explicit constants
Authors: Basso Giuliano
Published: December 2024

In this mostly expository article, we give streamlined proofs of several well-known Lipschitz extension theorems. We pay special attention to obtaining statements with explicit expressions for the extension constants. One of our main results is an explicit version of a very general Lipschitz extension theorem of Lang and Schlichenmaier. A special case of the theorem reads as follows. We prove that if

X

X

is a metric space and

A
⊂
X

A\subset X

satisfies the condition

\hspace{0.1em}\text{Nagata}\hspace{0.1em}\left(n,c)

Christian Practical Theology and Islam: Disciplinary Intersections and Opportunities for Growth
Authors: Reda Nevin
Published: December 2024

This article provides a brief overview of Christian practical theology and the main Islamic theological disciplines: Sharia, kalām and Sufism. It illustrates some of the intersections of the Christian and Islamic disciplines, but also the profound differences in the conceptualization and classification of practical religious knowledge. It argues that, for Muslims, practical theology provides avenues for developing the emerging specialization of Islamic spiritual care and counselling among other things. For Christians, the article highlights Sufism and Sharia that may provide useful insights into the lived experience of spirituality and case-based ethical or moral reasoning.
Silozi verbal tonology
Authors: Bickmore Lee
Published: December 2024

Silozi is one of Zambia’s seven national languages, and is also spoken in parts of Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. At its heart the language can fairly be characterized as a “Shift and Double” one, where an underlying High tone shifts to the following TBU and then doubles onto the next one in defined prosodic domains. Both infinitival forms as well as a range of finite forms in various TAMs are examined. The Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) plays an interesting role in that while it motivates various processes of High tone deletion, it only rarely constrains the core processes of Tone Shift and Tone Doubling. Some of the High tone deletions are general while others only apply in specific TAMs. As in most Bantu tone languages, Silozi exhibits Melodic High tones which help express certain inflectional properties of the verb. They have two possible landing sites – the penult or the ultima. Once linked, they precipitate the deletion of various lexical High tones on the Subject Marker, Object Marker, or verb root. In all, eleven different tonal rules are described and analyzed.

Percibir el olvido.
Authors: Parlato Federica , Líndez Vílchez Bernardino Francisco
Published: December 2024

En el territorio presahariano del Valle del Drâa (sur de Marruecos) diferentes factores amenazan la conservación de la arquitectura tradicional construida en tierra. El uso creciente de materiales asociados a la modernidad ha provocado la devaluación de las técnicas constructivas tradicionales y el debilitamiento de la identidad cultural asociada a ellas. Basándose en las recomendaciones redactadas en el marco normativo internacional, se hace referencia a la importancia de incluir a la comunidad en el proceso de salvaguarda de este patrimonio. La transmisión de los saberes constructivos resulta un medio esencial para recuperar el reconocimiento de los valores tangibles e intangibles propios de la arquitectura de tierra.
Palabras-clave: arquitectura de tierra; saber constructivo popular; identidad cultural.
La mercantilización del Centro Histórico de Puebla a partir de las transformaciones del espacio público, el turismo y, en especial, la vivienda, 1990-2023.
Authors: Cabrera Montiel Lorena , Pérez Ramos Angélica
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo analiza la mercantilización del espacio urbano en la Zona de Monumentos Históricos de la Ciudad de Puebla, entre 1990 y 2023. Se pretende explicar cómo ha sido el proceso a partir de los fenómenos de globalización y financiarización, y sus efectos, como la turistificación, para identificar tipos, actores y etapas de transformación, a partir de marcos regulatorios y financieros y de intervenciones público-privadas que han promovido un creciente flujo de capitales trasnacionales a través de diferentes mercados inmobiliarios –megaproyectos, infraestructura, hoteles, comercio, servicios, vivienda-. Hacemos énfasis en la vivienda para explicar los procesos especulativos que han segregado y sectorizado al espacio patrimonial por la revalorización de las propiedades, desfavoreciendo a la población barrial. La inversión en espacio público, la mercantilización de la vivienda, el desplazamiento poblacional por la vivienda temporal, la orientación hacia el consumo y al turismo, hacen latente la incertidumbre económica y social en el área.
Herencia patrimonial de los sistemas de transporte ferroviario y marítimo en Progreso, Yucatán.
Authors: Campos Gutiérrez Josefina del Carmen
Published: December 2024

Progreso surgió como puerto de Yucatán en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. A lo largo de su existencia se fueron edificando los elementos de infraestructura y equipamiento que eran necesarios para el transporte marítimo y ferroviario, que con el tiempo se convirtieron en patrimonio edificado, pero que no han pervivido en todos los casos hasta nuestros días.
En este artículo se expondrá el surgimiento y evolución del patrimonio edificado de los sistemas de transporte marítimo y ferroviario del puerto de Progreso durante el liberalismo económico y Keynesianismo, la transformación y pervivencia que han tenido durante el neoliberalismo económico y una evaluación del estado de conservación de éste.
História e memória ou abandono e esquecimento?
Authors: Alves Claudia , Kozlowsky Cristiane
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como propósito discutir a importância dos arquivos escolares tanto para a pesquisa em História da Educação quanto para o ensino na educação básica.  A história da Escola Normal de Niterói e a construção do seu prédio insere-se no contexto de transformações do território urbano, no início do século XX. Compreendido como importante patrimônio que integra o conjunto arquitetônico da Praça da República, em Niterói, o prédio abriga um importante patrimônio documental. A documentação referente ao funcionamento da antiga Escola Normal, composta por fontes consideradas raras, encontra-se atualmente sob a guarda do Liceu Nilo Peçanha. O patrimônio documental não tem valor mercadológico, contudo abarca inestimável valor para a memória e para história da educação no Brasil. No contexto atual de crise do capitalismo, a educação consolidada na forma escolar sofre ataques, tanto por objetivos ideológicos, quanto econômicos. Sua memória é arrastada para a destruição.
