Lo que queda de Chile: la Patagonia, el nuevo espacio sacrificable
Authors: Rodríguez Torrent Juan Carlos , Gissi Barbieri Nicolás , Medina Hernández Patricio 
Published: November 2017

En este trabajo, parte de una investigación etnográfica mayor sobre fenómenos espaciales y territoriales, se discuten algunos procesos de cambio que tienen lugar en la Patagonia chilena, que es uno de los pocos lugares del mundo donde hay tierras disponibles y fuentes de recursos abundantes, demandados por la economía global. Se le identifica como un lugar no contaminado, con importante biodiversidad, ríos de flujo libre y de gran potencial energético; remoto, poco asequible, con habitantes aislados y distanciados, con servicios deficientes producto del centralismo del Estado nacional. Se identifican distintos actores e imaginarios que están generando una rescritura del territorio con fines diferenciados y contradictorios, como el Estado, los capitales, las comunidades, grupos ambientalistas, migrantes por cambio de estilo de vida y otros con intereses ideológicos. Los factores reconocidos provocan la aceleración del tiempo y modifican las condiciones de vida tradicional en lo que se considera la última frontera del capitalismo.
La idea de “raza” en Juan Ignacio Molina, en el contexto de la disputa del Nuevo Mundo y la emergencia del mito nacional
Authors: Lepe-Carrión Patricio 
Published: November 2017

El artículo es un acercamiento al concepto de “raza” en la obra del naturalista chileno Juan Ignacio Molina, en el contexto de la disputa del Nuevo Mundo y la historia de la ciencia en Chile. Intentaremos mostrar cómo este concepto contribuyó a la epistemología patriótica, legitimando las clasificaciones sociales durante la primera mitad del siglo xix, cuando la élite criolla se posiciona en un lugar socialmente privilegiado, gracias a la reivindicación del mito sobre el origen de “sangre pura”.
DEL BARROCO COMO EL OCASO DE LA CONCEPCIÓN ALEGÓRICA DEL MUNDO
Authors: Méndez Sigmund 
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo ofrece una vista panorámica del Barroco a través de la alegoría como principal clave conceptual de la cosmovisión heredada de la Antigüedad y la Edad Media. Fenómenos como la Reforma y el desarrollo del pensamiento científico trajeron una nueva era en la concepción del hombre y su lugar en el mundo, así como de sus construcciones simbólicas y despliegues artísticos y literarios. Este proceso implicó una revolución “copernicana” que supuso la fragmentación de los antiguos mapas de la realidad y el trazo de mapas nuevos. La alegoría está en el centro de este cataclismo cultural, y una breve cartografía de su destrucción puede ayudar a delinear un modelo, por un lado, de la caída de un templo ideológico milenario, y, por la otra, de las nuevas ideas que emergen de esas ruinas desarrollando su propio edificio epistemológico.

OBJECTIVEDiverse treatment results are observed in patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Significant initial perfusion compromise is thought to predict a worse treatment outcome, but this has scant support in the literature. In this cohort study, the authors correlate the treatment outcomes with a novel poor-outcome imaging predictor representing impaired cerebral perfusion on initial CT angiography (CTA).METHODSThe authors reviewed the treatment results of 148 patients with poor-grade aSAH treated at a single tertiary referral center between 2007 and 2016. Patients with the “venous delay” phenomenon on initial CTA were identified. The outcome assessments used the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at the 3rd month after aSAH. Factors that may have had an impact on outcome were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTSCompared with previously identified outcome predictors, the venous delay phenomenon on initial CTA was found to have the strongest correlation with posttreatment outcomes on both univariable (p < 0.0001) and multivariable analysis (OR 4.480, 95% CI 1.565–12.826; p = 0.0052). Older age and a higher Hunt and Hess grade at presentation were other factors that were associated with poor outcome, defined as an mRS score of 3 to 6.CONCLUSIONSThe venous delay phenomenon on initial CTA can serve as an imaging predictor for worse functional outcome and may aid in decision making when treating patients with poor-grade aSAH.

Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVEFew cases of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) arachnoid cysts in pediatric patients have been described in the literature, and in only 2 of these cases were the patients described as suffering from hearing deficit. In this article, the authors report on 3 pediatric patients with CPA arachnoid cysts (2 with hearing loss and 1 with recurrent headaches) who underwent neurosurgical treatment at the authors’ institution.METHODSFour pediatric patients were diagnosed with CPA arachnoid cysts at the International Neuroscience Institute during the period from October 2004 through August 2012, and 3 of these patients underwent surgical treatment. The authors describe the patients’ clinical symptoms, the surgical approach, and the results on long-term follow-up.RESULTSOne patient (age 14 years) who presented with headache (without hearing deficit) became asymptomatic after surgical treatment. The other 2 patients who underwent surgical treatment both had hearing loss. One of these children (age 9 years) had recent-onset hypacusia and experienced complete recovery immediately after the surgery. The other (age 6 years) had a longer history (2 years) of progressive hearing loss and showed an interruption of the deficit progression and only mild improvement at the follow-up visit.CONCLUSIONSCPA arachnoid cysts are uncommon in pediatric patients. The indication and timing of the surgical treatment are fundamental, especially when a hearing deficit is present.

Background: Aging is associated with some cognitive decline and enhanced risk of development of neurodegenerative diseases. It is assumed that altered metabolism and functions of neurotrophin systems may underlie these age-related functional and structural modifications. CerebrolysinTM (CBL) is a neuropeptide mixture with neurotrophic effects, which is widely used for the treatment of stroke and traumatic brain injury patients. It is also evident that CBL has an overall beneficial effect and a favorable benefit-risk ratio in patients with dementia. However, the effects of CBL on cognition and brain neurotrophin system in normal aging remain obscure. Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the age-related modifications of endogenous neurotrophin systems in the brain of male Wistar rats and the effects of CBL on learning and memory as well as the levels neurotrophins and their receptors. Methods: Old (23–24 months) and young (2–3 months) male Wistar rats were used for the study. A half of animals were subjected to CBL course (2.5 ml/kg, 20 i.p. injections). Behavior of rats was studied using the open field test and simple water maze training. The contents of NGF and BDNF were studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; the expression of neurotrophin receptors was estimated by Western-blot analysis. Results: CBL treatment did not affect general status, age-related weight changes, general locomotor activity as well as general brain histology. In a water maze task, a minor effect of CBL was observed in old rats at the start of training and no effect on memory retention was found. Aging induced a decrease in neurotrophin receptors TrkA, TrkB, and p75NTR in the neocortex. CBL counteracted effects of aging on neocortical TrkA and p75NTR receptors and decreased expression of proNGF without influencing overall NGF levels. BDNF system was not significantly affected by CBL. Conclusion: The pro-neuroplastic “antiaging” effects of CBL in the neocortex of old animals were generally related to the NGF rather than the BDNF system.
EPO-releasing neural precursor cells promote axonal regeneration and recovery of function in spinal cord traumatic injury

Published: November 2017

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition characterized by a complex of neurological dysfunctions ranging from loss of sensation to partial or complete limb paralysis. Recently, we reported that intravenous administration of neural precursors physiologically releasing erythropoietin (namely Er-NPCs) enhances functional recovery in animals following contusive spinal cord injury through the counteraction of secondary degeneration. Er-NPCs reached and accumulated at the lesion edges, where they survived throughout the prolonged period of observation and differentiated mostly into cholinergic neuron-like cells. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential reparative and regenerative properties of Er-NPCs in a mouse experimental model of traumatic spinal cord injury. Methods and Results: We report that Er-NPCs favoured the preservation of axonal myelin and strongly promoted the regrowth across the lesion site of monoaminergic and chatecolaminergic fibers that reached the distal portions of the injured cord. The use of an anterograde tracer transported by the regenerating axons allowed us to assess the extent of such a process. We show that axonal fluoro-ruby labelling was practically absent in saline-treated mice, while it resulted very significant in Er-NPCs transplanted animals. Conclusion: Our study shows that Er-NPCs promoted recovery of function after spinal cord injury, and that this is accompanied by preservation of myelination and strong re-innervation of the distal cord. Thus, regenerated axons may have contributed to the enhanced recovery of function after SCI.

Published: November 2017

Background: High definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has been administered over single brain regions for small numbers of sessions. Safety, feasibility and tolerability of HD-tDCS over multiple brain regions, multiple daily stimulations and long periods are not established. Objective: We studied safety, feasibility and tolerability of daily HD-tDCS over 2-4 brain regions for 20 sessions in healthy adults. Methods: Five healthy adults underwent physical and neurological examination, electrocardiogram (EKG), electroencephalogram (EEG) and cognitive screening (ImpACT) before, during and after HD-tDCS. Four networks (left/right temporoparietal and frontal) were stimulated in sequence (20 min each) using HD-tDCS in 20 daily sessions. Sessions 1–10 included sequential stimulation of both temporoparietal networks, sessions 11–15 stimulations of 4 networks and sessions 16–20 two daily stimulation cycles of 4 networks/cycle (1.5 mA/network). Side effects, ImpACT scores and EEG power spectrum were compared before and after HD-tDCS. Results: All subjects completed the trial. Adverse events were tingling, transient redness at the stimulation site, perception of continuing stimulation after end of session and one self-resolving headache. EEG power spectrum showed decreased delta power in frontal areas several days after HD-tDCS. While at the group level ImpACT scores did not differ before and after stimulations, we found a trend for correlation between decreased EEG delta power and individual improvements in ImpACT scores after HD-tDCS. Conclusion: Prolonged, repeat daily stimulation of multiple brain regions using HD-tDCS is feasible and safe in healthy adults. Preliminary EEG results suggest that HD-tDCS may induce long lasting changes in excitability in the brain.

A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to examine the influence of number seedlings hill-1, rate and time of nitrogen application on the growth parameters of late transplant Aman rice (cv. BR23). The study, laid out in a RCBD with three replications, was comprised of three levels of number of seedlings hill-1 viz. 2, 4 and 6 seedlings hill-1, three nitrogen rates viz. 0, 60 and 120 kg N ha-1 and three levels of time of nitrogen application viz. nitrogen application in two equal splits at 15 DAT and early tillering stage (ET); nitrogen application in three equal splits at 15 DAT, ET and panicle initiation stages (PI); and nitrogen application in four equal splits at 15 DAT, ET, PI and flowering stages (F). The highest plant height (101.04 cm) was found at 80 DAT from 6 seedlings hill-1. 120 kg N ha-1 nitrogen application produced the tallest (104.08 cm) plant and nitrogen application in two equal splits at 15 DAT and ET gave the highest plant height (99.44 cm) at 80 DAT. The maximum number of tillers hill-1 (19.45) at 60 DAT and the highest leaf area index (3.08) at 40 DAT were found in the interaction effect among 6 seedlings hill-1, 120 kg N ha-1 and three times of nitrogen application at 15 DAT, early tillering and panicle initiation stages. The highest shoot dry matter hill-1 (28 g) was obtained as the interaction effect among 6 seedlings hill-1, 120 kg N ha-1 and nitrogen application in four equal splits at 15 DAT, early tillering, panicle initiation and flowering stages. The grain yield, although statistically non-significant, was numerically highest in seedlings hill-1, 120 kg N ha-1 and nitrogen application in three equal splits at 15 DAT, early tillering and panicle initiation stages. Therefore, transplanting with 6 seedlings hill-1 and application of 120 kg N ha-1 in 3-4 equal splits could be a better management practice for ensuring proper growth of the late transplant Aman rice.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 174-183, 2017

Twenty genotypes of country bean were evaluated to explore the association between yield and yield contributing traits in country bean in field condition. Experiment was conducted at field laboratory of department of Genetics and Plant Breeding (GPB), Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Traits association through computing correlation coefficient and path coefficients were done both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Among the twelve morphological traits, genotypic and phenotypic correlation studies showed number of raceme per plant and number of flower buds per raceme had significantly positive relationship with seed yield per plant. Genotypic correlation also showed significant positive relation between number of seed per plant and seed yield per plant. Path coefficient analysis revealed that days to 50 per cent flowering, number of raceme per plant, green pod length, 100 dry seed weight, green shelling percentage, dry shelling percentage showed positive effect on seed yield in genotypic level . Also in phenotypic level days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of flower buds per plant, green pod length, number of seed per pod, green pod yield per plant, green test weight and dry shelling percentage showed direct effect on seed yield. The association between traits revealed in the present study shall be of great help to choose parents with desirable traits for hybridization, selection method to follow, and selection criteria towards a successful breeding program. Traits with strong association with yield can be improved easily, but with weak relationship, needs more observations to obtain the better segregates.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 184-189, 2017

Published: November 2017

Productivity of the cropping system is critical to the food security of Bangladesh. However, many concerns about the sustainability of cropping system exist because of lack of advance knowledge of farming. In this context, a study was performed in the agro-ecological zone of the Tista Mendar Floodplain agro ecological zone (AEZ-3) at Jaldhaka subdistrict under Nilphamary district of Bangladesh. By reorganization of existing cropping patterns (using Linear Programming Model) gross output (7% to 21%), gross margin (12% to 20%) and labour employment (6% to 20%)have been increased from plan1(existing plan) to plan2 (by reorganization of existing lands). The cause of increase gross output, gross margin andlabour employment was some cultivated land from less efficient cropping patterns has been transferred to more efficient cropping patterns. Again, by reorganization of existing and improved cropping patterns, some lands of existing patterns have been shifted to improved cropping pattern. As a result, gross out (17% to 31%), gross margin (27% to 32%) and labour employment (13% to 26%) have been raised from plan1 to plan 3 (by combination of improved technologies with existing technologies). The result of on farm demonstration showed gross output, gross margin and labour employment have been increased 24% to 53%, 32% to 51% and 12% to 47% from plan1 to plan 3, respectively. So, this study suggest, optimum farm plan with the combination of existing and improved cropping pattern will increase farm output and generate additional employment and improved food security.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 204-215, 2017
Le « Psautier de Strasbourg »
Authors: Föllmi Beat 
Published: November 2017

La musique joue un rôle non négligeable dans la diffusion de la Réforme et dans la création des identités confessionnelles. Les protestants strasbourgeois avaient, dès 1524, mis en place leur propre répertoire musical pour le culte. Ce répertoire de chants qui est connu sous le nom de « Psautier de Strasbourg », est composé de chants venant de tous les coins de l’Allemagne, mais il diffère des pratiques des luthériens outre-Rhin. C’est notamment le chant des psaumes qui occupe la première place dans le culte strasbourgeois. On trouve, à côté des chants bien connus (comme ceux de Martin Luther), également des paraphrases très fidèles au texte biblique, écrites par des musiciens locaux tels Matthias Greiter et Wolfgang Dachstein. Quand Strasbourg, après la fin de l’Intérim, rejoint l’orthodoxie luthérienne, ces pratiques hymnodiques autochtones sont abandonnées au profit d’un répertoire luthérien. Seuls certains textes et mélodies survivent, grâce à leur notoriété, et connaissent par la suite un succès remarquable, par exemple dans le Psautier huguenot ou encore dans l’œuvre de Jean-Sébastien Bach.

La poésie enchâssée dans la chronique d’Ibn Iyās
Authors: Naouali Kais 
Published: November 2017

Cet article traite de la poésie enchâssée dans une chronique mamelouke, les Badāʾiʿ al-zuhūr fī waqāʾiʿ al-duhūr d’Ibn Iyās. L’analyse quantitative et thématique des poèmes enchâssés pour la période du sultanat d’al-Ġūrī (reg. 906/1501 à 922/1516), met en évidence l’intérêt heuristique de cette littérature, et permet de dégager de nouvelles problématiques.Nous avons choisi de traduire et présenter deux poèmes composés par un auteur cité, en l’occurrence al-Salamūnī. Notre analyse montre qu’il s’agit de satires dirigées contre des cadis et que, dans ce contexte, la poésie est l’objet de l’attention non seulement des cercles littéraires, mais aussi de peuple. À ce titre, ces poèmes nous permettent de proposer quelques conclusions sur la place du poète au sein de la société mamelouke.
L’extension du domaine du ṣaḥīḥ
Authors: Daaïf Lahcen 
Published: November 2017

L’intérêt pour les traditions prophétiques considérées comme authentiques (ṣaḥīḥ) s’accrut considérablement après la publication des deux célèbres Ṣaḥīḥ-s d’al-Buḫārī (m. 256/870) et de Muslim (m. 261/875). Cet article a pour objet l’étude des deux branches majeures des sciences du hadith que sont l’istidrāk (rattrapage) et l’istiḫrāǧ (extraction), par le biais desquelles s’est réalisé le projet d’extension du domaine de l’authentique en matière de hadith. Il traite également des autres stratagèmes de production d’œuvres de hadiths, auxquels ont recouru les auteurs traditionnistes pour rivaliser avec les deux Ṣaḥīḥ-s et prétendre au rang d’authenticité tant convoité. Enfin, cette étude fait état de l’intégration progressive de certains recueils de hadiths canoniques à la sphère restreinte du ṣaḥīḥ, comme des divers modes d’examen des matn-s et de réévaluation des chaînes de Garants (sanad-s) qui furent déployés à cette fin d’élargissement du champ du ṣaḥīḥ.
Traduire un texte entre les langues. Retour sur l’expérience de traduction de Hong bai hei
Authors: Magagnin Paolo 
Published: November 2017

Cette contribution se propose d’explorer la stratégie de conservation et de recréation des éléments d’hétérogénéité dans la traduction italienne du roman Hong bai hei (« Le Rouge, le Blanc et le Noir ») de l’auteur sino-canadien Chen He. À sa première parution en 2007, le roman a été salué comme un exemple d’écriture fortement « globale » : en effet, il est caractérisé par une forte hétérogénéité au niveau des thèmes, des pays où l’action se déroule, des langues utilisées, des genres et des sources exploitées. Dans le processus de traduction, cette pluralité d’éléments appelle naturellement à une stratégie minorisante qui viserait à reproduire, dans la plus ample mesure possible, l’altérité intrinsèque de l’original. Toutefois, le traducteur a également mis en place une stratégie de recréation du texte premier, qui s’est réalisée dans l’insertion originale d’éléments hétérolingues et dans l’interaction avec l’auteur afin de recréer des passages localisés du roman. En dernière analyse, cette stratégie de traduction créatrice et « globalisante » contribue à la redéfinition du texte premier et à la mise en relief de sa nature hétérogène et globale.
Fiction et simulacre de la traduction chez Cervantes, Balzac et Cheng : conjectures en forme de cheminement trajectif et politique
Authors: Liébert Adeline 
Published: November 2017

Pour approcher le mystère des œuvres dont le statut est rendu ambigu par leur auteur (fausse traduction, langue originale indécidable, etc.), nous nous sommes proposée de mener l’enquête en partant du célèbre cas du Don Quichotte de Cervantes, en la poursuivant avec la nouvelle L’Auberge rouge de Balzac, avant de terminer par l’analyse des avant-propos de deux romans de l’écrivain français d’origine chinoise François Cheng, Le Dit de Tianyi et L’Éternité n’est pas de trop. Ce parcours nous permet de faire fonctionner sur la question du littéraire la notion de « trajectivité » conceptualisée par Augustin Berque, et d’en mesurer les conséquences éthiques et politiques, dans une appréhension des hommes comme pluralité que nous empruntons à Hannah Arendt.
