Published: January 2023

Aim: The purpose of this report was to determine sudden death following operation, radiotherapy (RT), or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer.

Material and methods: Data from 729 consecutive patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer (confirmed using multiple modalities) who underwent operation, RT, or CRT at Kagoshima University Hospital between April 2011, and March 2020 were analyzed. A total of 199 patients underwent operation, 223 patients underwent RT and 307 underwent CRT. A total of 175 patients who received operation, 118 patients who received RT, and 190 who received CRT showed a complete response.

Results: There were 13 cases of sudden death reported in 10 years. 12 were male and 1 was female. Sudden death occurred in 3/175 patients (1.7%) who received operation, 4/118 (3.4%) who received RT, and 6/190 (3.1%) who received CRT.

Conclusions: We present the first report on cases of sudden death after operation, RT, and CRT for head and neck cancer. Otolaryngologists should still follow these patients carefully after such a treatment given that sudden death does occur in some patients.

Objective: To assess the treatment of hearing loss in children with severe heart defects after cardiac surgeries in their early life. The evaluation included the preparation to the surgery, the safety and effectiveness of cochlear implantation. The study design: It was a retrospective study. In our database there are 7 children (age: 2.5-5.5) with congenital heart defect who have had cardiac surgery. All of them were implanted with a Cochlear CI512 device. Late implantation was a result of a necessity to perform life-saving cardiac surgeries. The children are still under the observation of audiologists and speech therapists.Results: Assessment of the four-frequency average of indicative free field audiometry shows that there is an increase of hearing ability within a given time period: without sound processor (SP) the threshold of hearing had been 112.75 dB, with SP (three month after surgery) it was 67.5 dB, 6 months after surgery was 49 dB. After the cochlear implantation, speech development of implanted children was faster than observed prior to cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Conclusion: Pre-operation planning reduces the risk during cochlear implantation. Cochlear implantation is safe for children with heart defects, if they are early diagnosed and treated.

Published: January 2023

Cochlear hypoplasia is a congenital inner ear malformation (IEM) characterized by a reduced external cochlear dimension, usually accompanied by an abnormal internal architecture. Type IV cochlear hypoplasia is a cochlea with hypoplastic middle and apical turns. It may occur along with dislocation of the facial nerve, associated with semicircular abnormalities, less clearly marked promontory, or stapedial fixation. Such patients can present a broad spectrum of audiological test results, from sensorineural or mixed mild or profound hearing loss. The above anatomical changes may be responsible for intraoperative difficulties during cochlear implantation. In the studied case, a 6-month-old patient was diagnosed with an inner ear malformation - cochlear hypoplasia type IV on both sides. Computed tomography with multiplanar and 3D reconstruction was performed to analyze the middle and inner ear anatomy in detail. Both types of imaging reconstruction helped decide which cochlear implant electrode to choose. Perimodiolar-positioned cochlear implant electrode was found to be the most suitable choice. The patient underwent sequential bilateral cochlear implantation with expected incomplete electrode array insertion on both sides. First repeatable auditory responses were observed two months after the second implant activation. Good parental cooperation with therapists and adequately defined developmental goals in the presented patient allowed the multidisciplinary team to take advantage of the child's intellectual abilities and choose the suitable communication method; however, the patient's auditory responses were obtained slowly. The final auditory results cannot be predicted in inner ear malformations due to abnormal anatomical structure and, thus, heterogeneous innervation within the deformed cochlea. The programming of the sound processor must be individual in each case, based on the child's behavior observation and, if possible, objective test results. Patients with cochlear malformations usually require higher stimulation intensities to obtain sound sensations than patients with a typical cochlear structure.

A field study was carried on drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam) cv. PKM 1, to evaluate the effect of different planting density on vegetative morphomatrix, yield and economics under semi-arid rainfed conditions of western India. This experiment was laid out at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Panchmahal (ICAR-CIAH), Godhra, Gujarat. The objective of the study was to determine the best plant spacing for increased revenue. Among the evaluated different planting distance, the highest plant height was recorded in T5 (2m×2m), having the maximum number of plant per unit area. However, the highest stem girth, plant spread (East-West) and (North-South), was recorded in T1. However, the highest yield per plant recorded with 6m×4m distance, but on per unit area basis, T5 (2m×2m) exhibited almost triple the yield over planting distance (6m×4m). The plant densities had considerable influence on flower emergence, flowering period, number of panicles/plant, number of flowers/panicle, % flower, number of fruits/panicle at harvest, number of fruits/plant at harvest, fruit weight, fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm). The highest net returns (rupees 247 081.45) and cost benefit ratio (3.67) was computed in T5 followed by T5 (rupees 191 950.40 and 3.52), T2 (rupees 147 359.30 and 3.33), T3 (Rs. 99 677.40 and 3.05) and T1 (rupees 72 169.10 and 2.87). Based on the observations, it can be concluded that the closer planting (2m×2m) had better productivity and income than the under spacing (6m×4m) per unit area under the rainfed condition of semi-arid ecosystem.
Standardization of novel technique for preparation of ginger (Zingiber officinale)-blended wine from different cultivars of pear (Pyrus communis)

Published: January 2023

In North-West Himalayas including Kumaon region of Uttarakhand pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars like Jagner, Sand Pear and Kakria are being grown with very high yield and productivity but due to poor market the growers are reluctant to harvest the crop because of which the nutritious fruits are spoiled in the orchards. Except for Jagner which is soft and used for table purpose, there are very few takers for other cultivars like Sand Pear and Kakria. All the cultivars are rich in various phyto-chemical characters including anti-oxidants. Hence, for reducing the huge spoilage of nutritious fruits, an attempt was made to standardize a novel technique for pear wine from three cultivars after blending their juice with 2.5% ginger (Zingiber officinale Roc) juice, 0.1% DAHP and 0.2% pectinol. After complete fermentation with yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus, the prepared base wines were siphoned/filtered at regular intervals and stored at ambient conditions. A significant difference was recorded in bio-chemical and sensory quality attributes of the wines after preparation and 6 months storage. Among all the treatments ginger-blended Sand Pear wine prepared by raising the TSS to 22oB and having 2.5% ginger juice had an edge over other treatments in overall quality. A significant reduction in all the parameters was recorded irrespective of the cultivars used for wine preparation. On the basis of the study the cost of production of ginger-blended pear wine was found quite reasonable (Rupees 93.10, 73.10 and 73.10/650 ml bottle for Jagner-ginger, Sand Pear-ginger and Kakria-ginger wines respectively) with good profit margin comparable with low alcoholic beverages available in the market.

Published: January 2023

The regeneration status of bhojpatra or Himalayan birch (Betula utilis D. Don) was assessed in the two forest divisions of Kashmir with the major focus on regeneration status pertaining to the poor recruitment and seedling establishment in north western Himalayas along the different altitudinal gradient. The regeneration in both the forest divisions was poor and decreased further with increasing altitude but did not show any definite trend along the altitudinal gradient. Density-diameter and regeneration success curve for Betula utilis was not continuous and displayed typical reverse J-shaped structure depicting un-sustainable regeneration success along the altitude. Density of recruits was greater than the density of seedlings (un-established regeneration) indicating anthropogenic interference in terms of grazing and lopping of mature trees for fodder and other uses. The overall regeneration successes varied between 3.38-10.95% on south eastern aspect and 4.47 to 11.16% on south western aspect in Sindh forest division and between 4.84-11.53% in Tangmarg forest division. The diversity index (H/) Betula utilis decreased within the upper diameter classes with maximum diversity in lower diameter (0-25 cm). The correlation between soil parameters, viz. pH, EC, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus depicted the significant positive as well as negative trends with regeneration parameters.

Published: January 2023

A field experiment was conducted at research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi in winter (rabi) season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 with the aim to quantity the contribution of two microbial inoculations and zinc (Zn) fertilization to growth, yield and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experiment was conducted in split-plot design (variety HD 2967) involving three different methods of cultivation, viz. conventional wheat (CW), system of wheat intensification (SWI) and zero tillage (ZT) as main plot and nine nutrient management options as subplot in each method of cultivation involving recommended dose (N120 P25.8), 75% recommended dose (N90 P19.35), 75% recommended dose + Anabaena sp (CR1) + Providencia sp (PR3) and 75% recommended dose + Anabaena- Pseudomonas (An-Ps) biofilmed formulation with and without Zn which make total eight options along with one absolute control (N0P0Zn0). Zinc was applied to soil @ 5 kg Zn/ha through zinc sulphate heptahydrate. Results of two years study revealed that, contribution of CR1 + PR3 consortia and An-Ps biofilmed formulation to yield improvement is 360 and 370 kg/ha with Zn and 190 and 230 kg/ha without Zn fertilization; while increase in net return was Rupees 5 370 and Rupees 5 520/ha respectively with Zn and Rupees 3 080 and Rupees 3 650/ha without Zn, respectively. Soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) is more in all inoculated treatments than uninoculated treatment with highest in 75% recommended dose (N90P19.35) + An-Ps biofilmed formulation + Zn (372 Î¼g/g soil) at 90 days after sowing. Total nitrogen uptake was increased by 37.5 and 39.8 kg/ha due to application of CR1 + PR3 consortia and An-Ps biofilmed formulation along with Zn, respectively. Zinc fertilization increased grain yield and net returns by 180 kg/ha and Rupees 2 340/ha, respectively with treatment containing recommended dose (N120P25.8). Total uptake of Zn at harvest was significantly higher in treatment containing recommended dose (N120P25.8) with Zn (327.7 g/ha) than same treatment without zinc application (289.2 g/ha). Zero tillage wheat recorded significantly higher yield (4.56 tonnes/ha) than both conventional (4.33 tonnes/ha) and SWI (4.31 tonnes/ha) methods of cultivation which leads to higher net return in ZT wheat (Rupees 53.86 × 103/ha) than other methods of cultivation. Uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc and soil MBC was significantly higher in zero tillage wheat. In nutshell, application of any one inoculation along with 75% recommended dose (N90P19.35) + Zn fertilization was promising nutrient management option by considering their quantifiable contribution and among cultivation methods ZT method found superior than CW and SWI method.

The field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2013 and 2014 at C S Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh to assess the performance of four rice establishment techniques and four weed control measures on weed dynamics, weed control efficiency, productivity and profitability of rice. Weed dynamics were higher in direct seeded rice (DSR) as compared to transplanted rice (TPR). The highest total weed density (214-282 plants/m2) and total weed biomass (40.5-52.2 g/m2) were recorded in DSR while the lowest in TPR. The efficacy of Sesbania brown manuring was significantly higher in both DSR and TPR. Compared with the weedy plots, two hand weeding at 20 DAS/DAT and 45 DAS/DAT followed by Bispyribac sodium 25 g/ha + (Chlorimuron + metsulfuron) 4 g/ha followed by one hand weeding at 45 DAS/DAT provided significant weed control. In both seasons, weed control efficacy was better in DSR and TPR. Across the weed control measures, the mean weed control efficiency ranged from 59.8 -98.6% and 64.2-98.5% at 30 DAS and maturity stage, respectively. TPR produced the maximum rice grain yields. On an average of both years, weed control treatments produced 21 to 43% higher rice grain yield than the weedy plots.

Published: January 2023

An effort has been made to get precise forecast of rice yield through ARIMAX and proposed hybrid models using weather variables. In this article, two hybrid approaches like ARIMAX-ANN and ARIMAX-SVM have been proposed. Firstly, ARIMAX model was fitted for the considered time series data. Rice yield along with weather variables of Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh have been considered to evaluate the forecasting performance of the proposed hybrid models. The residuals obtained from the fitted model which exhibit nonlinear pattern were fitted employing ANN and SVM. Using the fitted yield values through the hybrid approaches via ANN and SVM, MAPE under ARIMAX (0,1,1)-ANN and ARIMAX (0,1,1)-SVM are estimated to be 0.37 and 1.11, respectively, as compared to 12.18 under ARIMAX (0,1,1) model. Based on the results obtained, we infer that although performance of proposed ARIMAXSVM and ARIMAX-ANN models are close to each other but much superior to the conventional ARIMAX model for the considered data set. Performance of hybrid ARIMAX model is found to be quite encouraging. Yield has also been forecasted up to 2020 on the basis of forecasted rainfall using ARIMAX (0,1,1) model.

Persistence of cypermethrin and decontamination processes on reduction of cypermethrin residues was studied in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) fruits following foliar application of formulation at dose of 50 and 100 g a. i./ha in a field at the Research field of CCS HAU, Hisar, India. Samples of okra fruits were collected periodically and residues were estimated by GC-ECD and confirmed by GC-MS. The average initial deposits of cypermethrin were 0.119 and 0.272 mg/kg in the okra fruits at single and double dose, respectively, one hour after the application. Residues of cypermethrin reached equal to below determination level (0.01mg/kg) on 10th in single dose and after 15 days at double dose. Half-life periods for cypermethrin were observed to be 2.74 days and 3.31 days at single and double dose, respectively following first order kinetics. Residues were below maximum residue limit (MRL) value of 0.2 mg/kg on 0 day in single dose and 1 day in double dose. Safe waiting period of 2 days has been suggested for safety sake. Decontamination processes were found very effective in reducing the residues of cypermethrin in okra fruits. Washing reduced the residues in the range of 39-41 %, whereas washing followed by boiling reduced 71 to 79% residues. In soil, residues of cypermethrin reached below detectable level of 0.005 mg/kg after 3rd and 5th days of application at single and double dose, respectively.

Published: January 2023

The attendance or attendance system is a recording or provision of information on a person's presence which indicates that the person has provided information about his presence and absence, then it is stated in the form of an attendance report. Along with the development of technology, an attendance recording has also developed, where we used to use paper attendance to fingerprint attendance. In educational institutions such as campuses, attendance has an important role in the process of developing a student. Until now, there are still many campuses that still use conventional attendance to record the presence of students in class, which allows for human error or fraud from both lecturers and students. Therefore, a solution is possible to suppress errors that may occur, namely by creating a website-based attendance or attendance system where the QR Code is used as an auxiliary medium in recording the presence or absence of a student at the STMIK AKBA Makassar Campus.
Bird migrant assemblages in urban and rural areas of central Argentina: a regional-scale comparison
Authors: Leveau Lucas M.
Published: January 2023

Migrant birds are negatively impacted by urbanization. However, most of the studies about urbanization effects on migrant birds were conducted in the Northern Hemisphere, and studies performed in South America are scarce. This study compares the migrant bird assemblages of urban parks and rural areas of cen- tral Argentina. Summer migrant birds were surveyed by standardized point counts in urban parks of six cities. In contrast, rural migrant assemblages were assessed through species lists of the citizen science project eBird in six paired sites. Sample coverage was similar between urban parks and rural areas (0.89 and 0.92, respectively). Migrant species richness was higher in rural than in urban parks. Migrant species composition changed between habitats, and species turnover was the dominant aspect of species dissimilarity. Urban parks had more occurrences of the Glittering-bellied Emerald (Chlorostilbon lucidus) and the Tropical Kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus), whereas rural sites had more occurrences of the Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) and the Double-collared Seedeater (Sporophila caerulescens). Grasslands present in rural areas may favor the presence of the Vermillion Flycatcher and the Double-collared Seedeater. Therefore, cities are related to significant changes in the migrant bird communities.

Published: January 2023

Urbanization alters the composition of biological communities and, therefore, ecological processes such as predation and destruction of bird nests. It is useful to identify predator and destructive species in order to design research that aims to understand the effects of urbanization on these ecological processes. In this study, we identify, using web cameras, diurnal predator and destructive species of artificial bird nests in urban and peri-urban areas of the metropolitan region of La Paz, Bolivia. We further describe the events of predation and nest destruction according to the number of eggs and nests affected, as well as latency periods for approach and attack. The House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) was the only nest-destroying species, recorded in both urban and peri-urban environments. This species affected nests by extracting material. We recorded one predation event by the Andean Caracara (Phalcoboenus megalopterus) in a peri-urban area and one by the Domestic Cat (Felis silvestris catus) in an urban area. The Chiguanco Thrush (Turdus chiguanco) was the species with the highest incidence of nest predation in both urban and peri-urban areas a behavior that was not previously reported for this species and which is also very rare for the genus. Our results highlight the importance of implementing filming systems in studies of bird predation and nest destruction.

There is a need to use more descriptive and precise terms to describe some of the properties of the products used for biopharmaceutical analysis. It is probably more correct to say “low adsorption” and “corrosion-resistant” systems.
Harmonization of Experimental Methods Used to Measure the True Hold-Up Volume of Liquid Chromatography Columns
Authors: Gritti Fabrice , Smith Kerri
Published: January 2023

There are as many measurement values of the true column hold-up volume, V0, as techniques applied to evaluate this most important property in liquid chromatography (LC). The relative errors made on V0 measurements using conventional “non-retained” markers—such as acetone, uracil, or thiourea in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), or benzene or acenaphthene in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)—can be as large as ±30%. This situation is extremely confusing for LC users who wish to classify and predict the retention behavior of LC columns. In this work, along with advances in mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation, the hold-up volume of any LC column—including, but not limited to, RPLC, HILIC, ion exchange chromatography (IEX), and mixed-mode columns—is accurately measured by injecting labeled deuterated acetonitrile (CD3CN) molecules and detecting them selectively by MS-single ion reaction (m/z = 45) using non-labeled and pure acetonitrile (CH3CN) as the eluent. This proposed harmonization of all conventional V0 measurement methods is illustrated and successfully applied to RPLC, HILIC, anion exchange (AEX), and RP-AEX mixed-mode chromatography, irrespective of the mobile phase composition selected.
Does High Polarity Mean High Retention on Stationary Phases in Gas Chromatography?
Authors: Snow Nicholas H. , Rana Hetal
Published: January 2023

Stationary phase chemistry, polarity, and selectivity have been of ongoing interest since the inception of gas chromatography (GC) in the 1950s. In the early days when most analyses were performed on packed columns, there were hundreds of stationary phase materials available. Today, with modern capillary columns, most GC analyses are performed with a few stationary phases, with a wide array of choices for specialty applications. Stationary phases are often classified using the broad term polarity, with polar stationary phases recommended for separating polar analytes and nonpolar stationary phases recommended for nonpolar analytes. In this installment, we examine the idea of stationary phase polarity. We examine the assumptions inherent in the most popular stationary phase polarity evaluating systems—McReynolds constants and the polarity scale. We see that high polarity does not always mean greater retention or higher selectivity.
Cnoty społeczne w administracji publicznej a etos urzędnika
Authors: Skrzydlewski Paweł
Published: January 2023

Autor artykułu podejmuje się omówienia roli cnót społecznych w kształtowaniu administracji publicznej, dowodząc, że są one podstawowym elementem etosu urzędnika administracji. Swoje rozważania opiera na klasycznej etyce cnót (Arystoteles, św. Tomasz z Akwinu). W swojej pracy przedstawia tezę, iż etos urzędników administracji publicznej musi koniecznie opierać się na cnotach, czyli trwałych skłonnościach do czynienia dobra. Zdaniem autora nowoczesne państwo nie może funkcjonować bez urzędników i ich etosu, kształtowanego przez cnoty. Państwo jest wspólnotą cnotliwych obywateli, którzy w swoich działaniach stosują zasady moralne i podlegają ocenie moralnej. Autor opisuje i wyjaśnia główne elementy kultury organizacyjnej, wynikające z etosu urzędnika administracji publicznej. Jego zdaniem etos ten odgrywa zasadniczą rolę w państwie, w którym dba się o dobro wspólne.
According to the author, a modern state cannot function without officials and their ethos shaped by virtues. The state is a community of virtuous citizens who use moral principles in their activities and are subject to moral evaluation. The author describes and explains the main elements of the organizational culture resulting from the ethics of officials based on ethos. According to the author, the ethos of a public administration official enables the existence of a good state in which the common good is realized.

Cypryjska Ziemia Obiecana. Plany stworzenia żydowskiego państwa na Cyprze (XVI wiek)
Authors: Burkiewicz Łukasz
Published: January 2023

Żydzi na Cyprze pojawili się już w okresie ptolemejskim (IV w. p.n.e.). W okresie późniejszym Rzym wspierał migracje Żydów na wyspę, którzy szczególnie w czasach cesarza Augusta stali się widoczną mniejszością na Cyprze. Żydzi do tego stopnia upodobali sobie kosmopolityczny charakter wyspy, że powstały daleko idące plany stworzenia państwa żydowskiego na Cyprze. Plany te zbiegły się z prześladowaniami wyznawców judaizmu, które przetoczyły się przez Europę Zachodnią od końca XV wieku (a zwłaszcza w Hiszpanii, Portugalii oraz w Italii). Twórcą pomysłu stworzenia na Cyprze enklawy dla społeczności żydowskiej był pochodzący z Portugalii bankier Józef Nasi lub Miques (1524–1579), powszechnie znany również jako Wielki Żyd. W celu zrealizowania swoich planów przekonał on sułtana osmańskiego Selima II do zajęcia Cypru, który od 1489 roku pozostawał w rękach Wenecjan. Równocześnie Żydzi aktywnie wspierali Imperium Osmańskie w kampanii przeciwko Wenecjanom. Osmanowie opanowali Cypr w 1571 roku i pomimo że nie powrócili do planów stworzenia na wyspie państwa żydowskiego, to byli witani przez miejscowych Żydów jako wyzwoliciele spod władzy Wenecjan. Dzieje stworzenia państwa żydowskiego na Cyprze uchodzą za niezwykle interesujący i mało znany epizod z dziejów nie tylko samych Żydów, lecz także rywalizacji pomiędzy Imperium Osmańskim a Republiką Wenecji w drugiej połowie XVI wieku.
Análisis de la competencia pragmática en aprendientes chinos de ELE: un estudio sobre los rechazos en respuestas a ofertas
Authors: Yin Xin
Published: January 2023

El presente es un trabajo de pragmática de interlengua que investiga las estrategias de cortesía verbal utilizadas por los aprendientes chinos de español para rechazar una oferta, en comparación con dos grupos de control compuestos por hablantes nativos de español y de chino. El objetivo del trabajo consiste en estudiar el uso de las estrategias pragmáticas con respecto a las distintas variables contextuales (el poder relativo y la distancia social) y comprobar si existe transferencia pragmática en los rechazos elaborados por los aprendientes chinos de español. Para la recolección de los datos, empleamos un cuestionario tipo Discourse completion task constituido por cuatro situaciones con distinto grado de poder relativo y distancia social para el despliegue del rechazo a ofertas. Como resultado del análisis se observan discordancias en la elección y la frecuencia de las estrategias de rechazo entre los aprendientes chinos de español y los hablantes nativos de español, así que se evidencia la presencia de transferencia pragmática negativa de la lengua materna a la lengua meta. Además, los resultados indican también que hablantes de las dos comunidades de habla comparten ciertas estrategias para elaborar un rechazo a una oferta, por ejemplo, las estrategias de “Excusa”, “Disculpa” y “Capacidad/voluntad negativa”.
Discursos y voces en torno a la lengua en la prensa argentina de actualidad
Authors: Rizzo María Florencia
Published: January 2023

La prensa constituye un espacio discursivo (Heller, 2010) de producción y reproducción de representaciones sociolingüísticas y de ideologías lingüísticas, en el que se define y debate qué asuntos del lenguaje son “de interés público”, cuáles son las voces aceptables para tratarlos, qué formas lingüísticas son correctas o adecuadas (y cuáles no), entre otras cuestiones. El propósito de este artículo es analizar, desde la perspectiva glotopolítica, las representaciones dominantes sobre la lengua española y los actores que operan como voces autorizadas para tratar asuntos lingüísticos en la prensa actual argentina destinada al público general. Para ello, en primer lugar, haremos un relevamiento de los asuntos que se constituyen en objeto de noticias en las versiones digitales de tres de los principales diarios de Argentina con la intención de configurar el repertorio temático que “está en agenda”, que es “de interés” para la opinión pública. Luego, tomando como punto de partida estos materiales, realizaremos el análisis de un corpus conformado por notas periodísticas sobre los asuntos que han recibido mayor atención mediática en un diario en particular, Clarín, con el fin de explicar cómo se posiciona este medio y cómo gestiona la palabra en las cuestiones del lenguaje.
La regulación de la palabra científica: consideraciones sobre la lengua, la escritura y el autor en las revistas argentinas de ciencias exactas, naturales y tecnologías
Authors: Von Stecher Pablo
Published: January 2023

Interesado en el problema que supone la supremacía actual del inglés como lengua de la ciencia, el presente trabajo indaga las directrices para autores de las revistas argentinas de ciencias exactas, naturales y de sus aplicaciones a las tecnologías e ingenierías con el fin de relevar qué lenguas son consideradas para la difusión de artículos y qué representaciones sociolingüísticas se inscriben en sus lineamientos. Desde una mirada glotopolítica, abordamos estas pautas como un instrumento lingüístico que busca regular el uso de lenguas, variedades y estilos discursivos. El corpus, conformado por las instrucciones de 40 revistas, expone un panorama heterogéneo entre publicaciones monolingües (en inglés o español) y publicaciones multilingües que también admiten el uso del portugués. Mientras que el propósito de difusión internacional naturaliza el uso del inglés en algunas revistas, otras se posicionan en un lugar defensivo del español y se apoyan en la autoridad de la RAE. En su papel de autor, la figura del investigador aparece tensionada entre las exigencias de la escritura en una lengua que no es la propia y la falta de compromiso con las publicaciones nacionales. Paralelamente, se expone cómo las dinámicas bibliométricas de evaluación académica desafían la continuidad de las revistas locales.
Pluricentrismo y enseñanza de español lengua extranjera (ELE). Materiales para el contexto colombiano con el sello del Instituto Caro y Cuervo (ICC)
Authors: Méndez-G.ª de Paredes Elena
Published: January 2023

La enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera (ELE) es un espacio funcional y mental que requiere explicitar para cada contexto de enseñanza el modelo de lengua. La industria editorial recurre principalmente al modelo de español europeo (castellano septentrional, incluso en la creación de materiales para Latinoamérica), que asume y difunde el Instituto Cervantes. Actualmente, el prestigio de estándares americanos, con variantes de fuerte arraigo y constancia normativa, visibiliza la pluricentricidad del español. Como el aprendizaje del español en el mundo se implementa desde diferentes naciones hispánicas, ello cuestiona la selección del modelo peninsular para el contexto americano. El análisis de materiales ELE producidos para el contexto colombiano permite reconocer la trascendencia del concepto de pluricentrismo cuando se asume al planificar la enseñanza de la lengua desde parámetros endonormativos de la comunidad. En §1 se abordará la débil fundamentación causal con que se presenta la relación entre pluricentrismo y panhispanismo; la sección §2, explicará ciertas dinámicas normativas de la enseñanza de ELE. El apartado §3 analiza el pluricentrismo de la enseñanza ELE para el contexto colombiano y el reflejo de su norma ejemplar en los materiales seleccionados. Por último, en las conclusiones se subraya la importancia que la enseñanza ELE tiene para visibilizar y difundir variantes estandarizadas del español de Colombia dentro del contexto del pluricentrismo hispánico.
