Subversiones sexoafectivas a través de lo grotesco en “La región Salvaje” de Amat Escalante
Authors: Alarcón Zayas Violeta 
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo supone una aproximación a lo “grotesco” como dispositivo subversivo y crítico en la película mexicana La región salvaje (Escalante, 2016). El concepto de grotesco, resulta de gran interés, pese a haber sido escasamente estudiado en general y aún menos en el cine (Connelly, 2015). Lo grotesco resulta un vehículo propicio para la crítica sociopolítica y la reflexión ética al diluir la demarcación tajante entre las antinomias, y desenmascarar, desde lo excluido, lo oprimido y/o censurado las realidades que subyacen a los esquemas de pensamiento y conducta hegemónicos, respondiendo a “los intereses fundamentales del debate humanista actual, que incluyen las representaciones de raza y género, la abyección y el otro, globalización y apropiación” (Connelly, 2017: 44).
Procederemos mediante un análisis discursivo del funcionamiento de lo grotesco, en concreto de lo traumático monstruoso, como dispositivo crítico de los modelos hegemónicos de sexualidad, así como para cuestionar los roles de género heteronormativos. Por tanto, aplicando este concepto, analizaremos cómo lo monstruoso desenmascara a nivel estético-discursivo, la opresión sexual y de género que sufren las mujeres en el México actual.
En el análisis se comprueba cómo lo grotesco funciona como un dispositivo rizomático (Guattari, Deleuze, 1980) en tanto que lo grotesco en sí, no es una esencia, es un hacer, una relación dinámica, un desequilibrio y desestabilización que crea un significado (Connelly, 2015). Es decir, lo metamórfico, lo intersticial, aquello que se escurre y escapa de las categorías, funciona en el movimiento, en las relaciones, en el proceso mismo de mutación.

The experience of noise in communication-intense workplaces: A qualitative study
Authors: Gyllensten Kristina , Fredriksson Sofie , Widen Stephen , Persson Waye Kerstin 
Published: January 2023

Objective
The aim of the study was to explore and describe how workers in communication-intense workplaces in health care and preschools experience the sound environment. The dependence on vocal communication and social interaction poses a challenge using hearing protection in these working environments.

Method
A qualitative method was used, more specifically inductive thematic analysis was used, as this approach was deemed suitable to explore the staff’s experiences of the sound environment. Data were collected by interviews and to increase trustworthiness, several researchers were involved in the data collection and analysis.

Study sample
Workers from two preschools, one obstetrics ward and one intensive care unit took part in the study.

Results
Four main themes emerged from the thematic analysis: A challenging and harmful sound environment; Health-related effects of a challenging and harmful sound environment; A good sound environment is not prioritised; and Resourceful and motivated staff.

Conclusions
Workers in communication-intense workplaces in preschools, obstetrics care and intensive care reported that there was a relationship between the sound environment and negative health effects. In addition, the results suggests that the high motivation for change among staff should be utilised together with an increased prioritization from the management to reach innovative context specific improvements to the sound environment in communication intense working environments.

integração da América Latina como instrumento para recuperação econômica pós-pandemia
Authors: Oliveira Alessandra Cavalcante de 
Published: January 2023

A América Latina sofreu fortemente com os efeitos negativos gerados pelas medidas adotadas para evitar o alastramento do contágio da Covid-19. Na região, observou-se a redução da produção, do comércio internacional, entre outras consequências que levaram à recessão econômica. Para reverter tal cenário, os governos adotaram diversas medidas econômicas anticíclicas. Entretanto, indaga-se: se os países se unissem para enfrentar a crise com a adoção de ações conjuntas seria possível acelerar o processo de recuperação econômica na região? Esse artigo procura mostrar que o aprofundamento da integração regional pode ser uma medida eficaz para acelerar o processo de recuperação da atividade econômica. Isso porque o comércio intrarregional tem um grande destaque para manufaturas, que garantem um maior efeito de transbordamento sobre a economia. Para a análise, parte-se de uma análise quantitativa de dados econômicos e qualitativa sobre cadeias globais de valor para compreender como a integração pode contribuir para a recuperação econômica. O artigo é apresentado em três partes. A primeira seção apresenta os efeitos provocados pela crise sanitária na economia. A segunda parte discute sobre os benefícios que a integração pode trazer. Na terceira seção, são mostradas as ações a serem implementadas para o aprofundamento da integração. O estudo revela a existência de obstáculos possíveis de serem superados desde que haja vontade política. Por esse motivo, mostra-se a urgência de os governos se mobilizem em prol de um projeto regional que poderá beneficiar toda a América Latina.
An inertial extragradient algorithm for split problems in Hilbert spaces
Authors: Husain Shamshad , Asad Mohd 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this study, we propose an inertial extragradient algorithm for solving a split generalized equilibrium problem as well as a split feasibility and common fixed point problem. We demonstrate that, under certain reasonable assumptions, the sequences induced by the proposed algorithm converge strongly to a solution of the corresponding problem. In addition, with the help of a numerical example, we demonstrate the efficiency of proposed algorithm. As a result of this paper, some recent well-known results in this area have been improved, generalized, and extended.

Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
In Bibliotheken werden immer mehr Aufgaben digitalisiert und Dienste digital angeboten. Teilweise starre Strukturen werden durch die digitale Transformation aufgebrochen. In der Folge ist eine stärkere und flexible Kollaboration zwischen den Mitarbeitenden und Stakeholdern erforderlich. Um diese Veränderungen mit geeigneten Werkzeugen zu unterstützen, wurde geprüft, wie Git, GitLab und GitHub hierzu beitragen können. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass der Einsatz von Git und GitLab zu einer erheblich besseren Kollaboration innerhalb der IT-Abteilung geführt hat. GitHub wird derzeit für die öffentliche Bereitstellung von Eigenentwicklungen genutzt und soll zukünftig für die interinstitutionelle kollaborative Entwicklung zum Einsatz kommen. Ferner werden die verwendeten Werkzeuge mit Fortschreiten der digitalen Transformation auch in anderen Bereichen von Bibliotheken zum Einsatz kommen.
New results on perturbations of p-adic linear operators
Authors: Ammar Aymen , Boutaf Fatima Zohra , Jeribi Aref 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this research paper, we develop some aspects of the theory of Fredholm linear operators acting in p-adic (or non-Archimedean) Banach spaces. In this regard, we establish sufficient conditions for the p-adic Fredholmness of the algebraic sum of unbounded linear operators. Next, we study the perturbation of p-adic upper semi-Fredholm operators under strictly singular operators. Moreover, we give some results concerning quasi-compact and p-adic lower semi-Fredholm operators.
Numerical and experimental investigations on enhancement mixing performance of multi-blade stirring system for fluids with different viscosities

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The poor mixing caused by zinc powder deposition in purification process is a serious problem which can’t be avoided in treatment of zinc-containing solid waste. Here, to enhance the purification efficiency of zinc-containing solid waste treatment reactor, two kinds of multi-blade combined stirring systems are compared with single layer four straight-blade and double-layer straight-blade (DFB) stirring systems which are traditionally chosen by industry. This study simulated and explored the flow field characteristics and purification effects of these four kinds of stirred-tank reactor, further proposes the unit ion purification energy (UIPE) as a criterion for purification energy consumption and effect evaluation. The results show that multi-blade combined (MBC) stirring system enhances axial flow by 12.56% in water. Meanwhile it effectively inhibits the growth of isolated mixing region which scope has decreased by 56.25%. In high viscosity Carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution, the fluid axial speed can be increased by up to 1407 times with MBC. MBC can increase the purification rate by 24.79% while the UIPE decreases by 29.45% compared with DFB which is used in industrial purification process. MBC paddle has exhibited a wide range of fluid viscosity applicability and axial velocity improvement effect. The improvement increases collisions between the impurity particles and the zinc powder particles, which increased rate of substitution reactions. The application of MBC solves the purification problem in the process of treating zinc-containing solid waste.
Numerical analysis of slopes treated by nano-materials
Authors: Shwan Bestun Jumaa 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Improvements in mechanical characteristics of soils treated by nano-materials (NMs) have been proved in the last three decades. The improvements are mainly attributed to changes in the soil fabric where a noticeable rise in shear strength has been obtained. This work, therefore, addressed a numerical study on the influence of the soil fabric changes due to the NMs enhancement on a slope stability problem using an upper bound discretization scheme. A parametric study was carried out at seven different inclination angles from 15 to 45° and with a variety of combinations of angle of shearing resistance (ϕ) and cohesion (c) values. This was carried out for two different types of slopes on purely frictional materials and c–ϕ materials. A noticeable increase in stability was obtained, based on a set of re-generated design charts, due to NMs enhancement (attributed to soil fabric changes). The re-generated design charts did not require iterative procedures and extended both x and y boundaries when compared with other available charts in the literature. Examination of the influence of the NM on the failure modes, to provide an insight into different failure mechanisms due to the soil fabric changes, was also considered.
Predictive value of 6 h postoperative parathyroid hormone level on permanent hypoparathyroidism in pediatric total thyroidectomy: a pilot study
Authors: Keane Olivia A. , Bai Shasha , Cossen Kristina , Patterson Briana C. , Prickett Kara K. , Heiss Kurt F. , Santore Matthew T. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Transient hypocalcemia is a common complication after pediatric total thyroidectomy, while permanent hypoparathyroidism (PH) is relatively uncommon. To date there is no model to predict which patients will develop PH based on post-operative makers. We aim to identify pediatric patients who are at high risk of PH following thyroidectomy based on 6 h post-operative parathyroid hormone (PTH) value.

Methods
A retrospective review of 122 pediatric patients undergoing total thyroidectomy between 2016 and 2022 following implementation of a multidisciplinary team was performed. Outcome of interest was permanent hypoparathyroidism, defined as need for calcium supplementation at 6 months postoperatively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine PTH value at 6 h post-operative that was predictive of permanent hypoparathyroidism.

Results
Rates of permanent hypoparathyroidism reported are similar to those described in the literature with 12 patients (10.9%) developing PH. In patients who developed PH, mean 6 h postoperative PTH was 5.12 pg/mL. Mean 6 h postoperative PTH level in those who did not develop PH was 31.34 pg/mL (p<0.0001). The 6 h post-operative PTH value predictive for PH was ≤11.3 pg/mL. PTH cutoff of ≤11.3 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 72.2%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 27.0%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 100%.

Conclusions
6 h postoperative PTH values were found to be predictive of permanent hypoparathyroidism in pediatric total thyroidectomy: a 6 h postoperative PTH level of >11.3 pg/mL excludes permanent hypoparathyroidism, but if PTH is ≤11.3 pg/mL at 6 h, approximately 1/3 of patients may persist with permanent hypoparathyroidism.
Monte Carlo method for parabolic equations involving fractional Laplacian
Authors: Jiao Caiyu , Li Changpin 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We apply the Monte Carlo method to solving the Dirichlet problem of linear parabolic equations with fractional
Laplacian. This method exploits the idea of weak approximation of related stochastic differential equations
driven by the symmetric stable Lévy process with jumps. We utilize the jump-adapted scheme to approximate
Lévy process which gives exact exit time to the boundary. When the solution has low regularity, we establish
a numerical scheme by removing the small jumps of the Lévy process and then show the convergence order. When
the solution has higher regularity, we build up a higher-order numerical scheme by replacing small jumps with a
simple process and then display the higher convergence order. Finally, numerical experiments including
ten- and one hundred-dimensional cases are presented, which confirm the theoretical estimates and show the numerical
efficiency of the proposed schemes for high-dimensional parabolic equations.
Nonreciprocal total cross section of quantum metasurfaces
Authors: Nefedkin Nikita , Cotrufo Michele , Alù Andrea 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Nonreciprocity originating from classical interactions among nonlinear scatterers has been attracting increasing attention in the quantum community, offering a promising tool to control excitation transfer for quantum information processing and quantum computing. In this work, we explore the possibility of realizing largely nonreciprocal total cross sections for a pair of quantum metasurfaces formed by two parallel periodic arrays of two-level atoms. We show that large nonreciprocal responses can be obtained in such nonlinear systems by controlling the position of the atoms and their transition frequencies, without requiring that the environment in which the atoms are placed is nonreciprocal. We demonstrate the connection of this effect with the asymmetric population of a slowly decaying dark state, which is critical to obtain large nonreciprocal responses.
Photon number resolution without optical mode multiplication
Authors: Vetlugin Anton N. , Martinelli Filippo , Dong Shuyu , Soci Cesare 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Common methods to achieve photon number resolution rely on fast on-off single-photon detectors in conjunction with temporal or spatial mode multiplexing. Yet, these methods suffer from an inherent trade-off between the efficiency of photon number discrimination and photon detection rate. Here, we introduce a method of photon number resolving detection that overcomes these limitations by replacing mode multiplexing with coherent absorption of a single optical mode in a distributed detector array. Distributed coherent absorption ensures complete and uniform absorption of light among the constituent detectors, enabling fast and efficient photon number resolution. As a proof-of-concept, we consider the case of a distributed array of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with realistic parameters and show that deterministic absorption and arbitrarily high photon number discrimination efficiency can be achieved by increasing the number of detectors in the array. Photon number resolution without optical mode multiplication provides a simple yet effective method to discriminate an arbitrary number of photons in large arrays of on-off detectors or in smaller arrays of mode multiplexed detectors.

Abstract
Rising sea level poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of vast numbers of people around the world, with impacts expected to grow even more in coming years. The field of public health has a crucial role to play in addressing the complex challenges posed by sea level rise. But to do so effectively, public health will need to rethink, rework, and update some important dimensions of public health practice as well as the manner in which tomorrow’s public health professionals are trained.
From city to Learning City ̶ The involvement of stakeholders in Lucca and Trieste
Authors: Biagi Giulia 
Published: January 2023

This paper will elaborate upon the model of the Italian Learning City of Lucca and Trieste, recently entered in the Global Network of the Learning Cities of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning. In a learning city citizens and institutions must participate to achieve global goals and the mission of the SDGs 2030 Agenda and lifelong learning objectives. Regarding the construction of a learning city the UNESCO UIL has given guidelines and best practices to help this transformation, which manifest as a unique process in every city. Through the Italian policies on adult education and the local administrative decentralization has been possible the integration of the UNESCO learning city model with the experiences of Lucca and Trieste on national territory. The involvement of stakeholders is a fundamental step to transform the city, in a city that learns. The actors involved included a wide variety of subjects like civil society, schools and businesses. The question aims to answer how it is built and implemented in a learning city or smart city the stakeholders’ network. The hypothesis is that through the comparison of Lucca and Trieste, the best practices produced will emerge. The data are interpreted through: main goals of the learning cities, issues in the community learning activities, barriers of collaboration of stakeholders, forms of collecting and sharing knowledge in the city. Taking into account the UNESCO UIL guidelines. Every learning city needs participation involving all stakeholders and to include all citizens facing challenges at many levels. It will therefore be essential for administrations to reduce the barriers to participation, meet the needs of its population and create learning events to share and acquire knowledge.
