FUNCIONES CONTINUAS Y NO DIFERENCIABLES EN TODO PUNTO
Authors: Hidalgo G. Eric , Franco. Ángela J. 
Published: January 2024

Desde los cursos de cálculo diferencial se sabe que una función continua no necesita ser diferenciable; sin embargo, se tiene la idea errónea que una función continua tiene que ser diferenciable en muchos puntos. Con la idea de corregir este error, en el presente artículo se construye un ejemplo de una función que es continua y no diferenciable en todo punto También se prueba que el conjunto de puntos de continuidad de la derivada de una función diferenciable es enumerable. Además, se presenta un ejemplo de una función diferenciable cuyo conjunto de discontinuidad de la derivada es denso.
Ram Gopal
Authors: David Ann R. 
Published: January 2024

Both a biography and a history, this book explores the significant role that Indian dancer Ram Gopal (1912-2003) played in bringing Indian dance to international audiences from the 1930s to the late 1960s. Almost single-handedly, Gopal changed the perception of Indian dance abroad, introducing a global audience to specificity of movement, classically trained dancers, live musicians and exquisitely detailed costumes, modelled from Indian iconography.
In this much-needed study of an often-neglected figure, the author unearths a fascinating narrative about Ram Gopal, the individual and the dancer, drawing on interviews with his remaining family, costume-makers, friends, dance partners, fellow dancers and audience members.
More broadly, we come to understand the culture of Indian dance at the time, including the politics of the nomenclature and of the nationalist and orientalist discourses, the rapid changes created by the demise of colonialism and the influence of Western styles of dance, such as ballet and modern, in its development.
Russian Food Since 1800
Authors: Kelly Catriona 
Published: January 2024

In Russia, food has a hugely important role in political and symbolic terms. Catriona Kelly – a leading cultural historian and keen amateur cook – reflects on this and an environment where what you eat (and drink) indicates how patriotic you are in this absorbing history of Russian food in the modern age.
Kelly makes the case that an expectation of ‘feeding’ is embedded in attitudes to the state as provider, and that rationing systems have traditionally replicated and even enforced social hierarchies. The book looks at how Russian food is intimately connected with family and friends, and was an important source of delight even in the Soviet period, when official culinary provision and practices ostensibly sought to promote nutrition above all, and food was often short. Russian Food since 1800 traces these complex and contradictory associations. It also examines various shifts in diet and cuisine over the last three centuries, including the ways in which old traditions such as pickling and jam-making sit alongside wider world influences from the vast imperial hinterland in the Baltic, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, as well as Western Europe and America.
Illustration, Narrative and The Suffragette
Authors: Fauchon Mireille 
Published: January 2024

Through an investigation of the Holloway prison writings of the suffragette Katie Gliddon, Mireille Fauchon explores illustration as a social research tool and creates within this book a model of practice-based enquiry.
Illustrative methods and expressive literary forms - collage, mixed media, print and ficto-critical writing are used to illuminate the characteristics of the subject matter. Drawing on archival study, anecdotal experience, practical research methods and narrative enquiry, this book brings together themes of feminism, materiality and social history.
Ideal for those studying illustration and qualitative research methods, Fauchon explores Gliddon’s life writing not only as a case study of an individual woman’s desires and aspiration for societal reform, she also creates a unique tool exemplifying how social research can become a work of narrative illustration in itself.

The Pursuit of Ecotopia
Authors: Anderson E. N. 
Published: January 2024

The world environmental and social justice crises brought on by our high-throughput global economy can be ameliorated only if we adapt the pragmatic ethics of social cohesion in traditional societies to the modern world.
Traditional societies have much to teach the modern world about conservation and environmental management. The Pursuit of Ecotopia: Lessons from Indigenous and Traditional Societies for the Human Ecology of Our Modern World argues that the root of our environmental crisis is that we have not devised modern ways to induce people with diverse interests to think and act cooperatively to secure shared interests. We take a short-term, narrow view of resource management and ethical conduct instead of a long-term, global view of "ecotopia"—a conception in which the destructive corollaries of consumerism are curbed by emotionally grounded policies and ethics of sustainability, social justice, and stewardship.
In this controversial and brilliantly written book, author E. N. Anderson maintains that the world can escape impending ecological disaster only by embracing a political and ethical transformation that will imbue modern societies with the same shared sense of emotional rationality practiced by traditional cultures. He draws lessons from ecologically successful traditional societies—and also draws cautionary tales from traditional societies that have responded maladaptively to disruption and failed ecologically as a result.

Keeping the Faith
Authors: Bartley Abel A. 
Published: January 2024

An examination of the political and economic power of a large African American community in a segregated southern city; this study attacks the myth that blacks were passive victims of the southern Jim Crow system and reveals instead that in Jacksonville, Florida, blacks used political and economic pressure to improve their situation and force politicians to make moderate adjustments in the Jim Crow system. Bartley tells the compelling story of how African Americans first gained, then lost, then regained political representation in Jacksonville. Between the end of the Civil War and the consolidation of city and county government in 1967, the political struggle was buffeted by the ongoing effort to build an economically viable African American economy in the virulently racist South. It was the institutional complexity of the African American community that ultimately made the protest efforts viable.
Black leaders relied on the institutions created during Reconstruction to buttress their social agitation. Black churches, schools, fraternal organizations, and businesses underpinned the civil rights activities of community leaders by supplying the people and the evidence of abuse that inflamed the passions of ordinary people. The sixty-year struggle to break down the door blocking political power serves as an intriguing backdrop to community development efforts. Jacksonville's African American community never accepted their second-class status. From the beginning of their subjugation, they fought to remedy the situation by continuing to vote and run for offices while they developed their economic and social institutions.

El aneurisma del seno de Valsalva (ASV) representa una anomalía poco frecuente, variando desde casos asintomáticos hasta situaciones fatales debido a rupturas u otras complicaciones. Con mayor incidencia en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, y siendo más prevalente en hombres, este fenómeno puede desencadenar insuficiencia cardíaca aguda. Su frecuencia oscila entre el 0,14% y el 0,96%, siendo su etiología más común de origen congénito, aunque también puede derivar de factores adquiridos como traumas, infecciones o enfermedades degenerativas.
Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 44 años con un aneurisma aórtico roto en el seno de Valsalva derecho, que drena hacia la aurícula derecha, acompañado de una insuficiencia aórtica moderada. La sintomatología se manifiesta inicialmente con disnea de clase funcional III, y durante el examen físico se detecta un soplo sistodiastólico continuo en el foco aórtico. El diagnóstico se confirma mediante ecocardiograma, revelando el defecto.
Este trabajo se enfocará en analizar la etiopatogenia, clasificación, complicaciones, diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta compleja patología, brindando una visión integral que contribuirá al entendimiento y abordaje clínico de los pacientes afectados por el ASV.

Significant human health co-benefits of mitigating African emissions
Authors: Wells Christopher D. , Kasoar Matthew , Ezzati Majid , Voulgarakis Apostolos 
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Future African aerosol emissions, and therefore air pollution levels and health outcomes, are uncertain and understudied. Understanding the future health impacts of pollutant emissions from this region is crucial. Here, this research gap is addressed by studying the range in the future health impacts of aerosol emissions from Africa in the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios, using the UK Earth System Model version 1 (UKESM1), along with human health concentration–response functions. The effects of Africa following a high-pollution aerosol pathway are studied relative to a low-pollution control, with experiments varying aerosol emissions from industry and biomass burning. Using present-day demographics, annual deaths within Africa attributable to ambient particulate matter are estimated to be lower by 150 000 (5th–95th confidence interval of 67 000–234 000) under stronger African aerosol mitigation by 2090, while those attributable to O3 are lower by 15 000 (5th–95th confidence interval of 9000–21 000). The particulate matter health benefits are realised predominantly within Africa, with the O3-driven benefits being more widespread – though still concentrated in Africa – due to the longer atmospheric lifetime of O3. These results demonstrate the important health co-benefits from future emission mitigation in Africa.
Multiplex PCR test as an intra-operative diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection in presumed aseptic revision hip and knee arthroplasty: a 1-year follow-up study of 200 cases

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Automated custom-made multiplex PCR techniques (mPCR) have become commercially available and are designed for intra-operative screening of concurrent periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of a positive mPCR test in presumed aseptic revision total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasties after a 1-year follow-up. In an earlier study, such an automated mPCR technique (Unyvero ITI G2; Curetis, Holzgerlingen, Germany) was tested on intra-operatively obtained synovial fluid in 200 patients with a presumed aseptic TKA or THA revision. At the time of revision, no therapeutic consequences were attached to a positive test result since treating personnel were blinded for the test results. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of cases with respect to the occurrence of PJIs using the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) criteria during a 1-year follow-up postoperatively. A total of 10 out of 200 patients had a positive mPCR test result at the time of revision. Of these 10 cases, none encountered outcome parameters fulfilling the criteria to diagnose PJIs in the first year after surgery, and one required re-revision surgery for reasons other than infection. Of the other 190 negative mPCR cases, none developed a PJI. A positive mPCR test at the time of presumed aseptic revision surgery did not correspond with intra-operatively obtained tissue cultures, and none of the encountered positive mPCR tests had developed a PJI at the 1-year follow-up. We recommend careful evaluation and monitoring of modern diagnostic tests before widespread use.
