Este ensayo explora el papel crucial de la experiencia en la interpretación arqueológica y su relevancia en la investigación científica del pasado. Destaco el análisis detallado de esta noción, a menudo pasada por alto en las discusiones filosóficas sobre el cono-cimiento arqueológico. La tesis principal sostiene que la experiencia, concebida como una acción que progresa a través de etapas de actos constitutivos controlados, desempeña un papel fundamental. El argumento central distingue la experiencia según la lógica de la investigación empírica de Dewey de las perspectivas pragmáticas en arqueología. Subrayo la necesidad de considerar la investigación arqueológica como una actividad dinámica y controlada en constante crecimiento. Expongo argumentos basados en el pensamiento de Dewey, destacando la importancia de regresar al pragmatismo clásico para obtener una comprensión más profunda del papel de la experiencia en la investigación arqueológica y su contribución al entendimiento del pasado.

Introduction: Although gifted children can express high cognitive skills, they can also show socioemotional difficulties. Drawing from Olson’s circumplex model, the present paper assessed the role of family functioning in internalizing and externalizing problems in gifted children. Materials and Methods: 362 mothers and their 362 gifted children were included. The unbalanced subscales of the FACES IV—disengagement, enmeshment, rigidity, and chaos—and the CBCL were administered to mothers. The children completed the WISC-IV. Results: The model predicting internalizing problems was significant and explained 5.6% of the variance. Only rigidity had an independent and positive effect on internalizing problems in gifted children over and above sociodemographic variables and QI, whereas disengagement, enmeshment, and chaos were not associated with internalizing problems. The model predicting externalizing problems was significant and explained 10% of the variance. Again, rigidity was the only variable that had an independent and positive effect on externalizing problems in gifted children over and above sociodemographic variables and QI, whereas disengagement, enmeshment, and chaos were not associated with externalizing problems in this population. Discussion: Rigid families with a low ability to change in conditions that require readjustment appear to increase the risk of both internalizing and externalizing problems in gifted children. Although further studies are needed to support these preliminary findings, parental support interventions aimed at increasing flexibility appear to be useful.

Il presente contributo riporta i risultati di uno studio esplorativo di alcuni progetti di didattica interreligiosa portati avanti durante le ore di insegnamento di religione cattolica. La ricerca mette in luce come siano stati affrontati sia temi riguardanti un sapere critico sulle religioni contrastando l’analfabetismo religioso, sia questioni specifiche della pedagogia interculturale come l’accoglienza dell’altro e il contrasto a stereotipi e pregiudizi. Allo stesso tempo il contributo riflette su alcune criticità dell’insegnamento religioso in Italia dovute forse alla sua funzione nella scuola e all’epistemologia disciplinare. Si ritiene infatti che alla luce di diversi studi europei e dei dati emersi in questa ricerca, sia necessario un cambiamento nello status della disciplina. Per provare quanto segue, l’articolo prospetta una nuova indagine didattica e pedagogico-sociale, così da fornire ai decisori politici ed ecclesiastici nuovi spunti di riflessione per un rinnovamento dell’insegnamento religioso nella scuola.

Since the most recent European provisions on the enhancement of Cultural Heritage, much emphasis is being placed on the preservation of the identity values of places, the recovery of local traditions, the virtualization of contexts and their inclusive use. Within this panorama, the work presented here is situated within the study of ephemeral architectures that took place in the city of Paris during the 18th century: a theme of immaterial connotation, whose ideas and testimonies are preserved exclusively through written texts, iconographic apparatuses, and archival drawings. Specifically, the majestic eighteenth-century event held in Paris under the rule of Louis XV and described in the volume entitled Festes donneés par la ville de Paris A L’occasion du Mariage de Madame Louise Elisabeth de France […] (1739) is examined here. Through the discipline of Drawing, as a medium of cognitive investigation as well as narrative and technical representation, this study analyzes the ways in which the project images attached to the text are graphically represented and, through the use of digital modeling, proposes to give form to ephemeral architectures (otherwise described only in orthogonal and perspective projection) and to place them virtually in coeval urban environments. The goal is to return ‘unseen images’ geared toward a renewed and more inclusive enjoyment of Cultural Heritage, whose sources are intangible.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.31.2023.5

El artículo analiza la presencia del nazismo en la obra y el pensamiento de Carl Schmitt. El autor plantea la necesidad de volver a repensar y dar sentido a esta presencia problemática. En primer lugar, expone las líneas de defensa –y de autojustificación– esgrimidas por el propio Schmitt respecto de su adhesión al nazismo. Posteriormente, examina las acusaciones realizadas a Schmitt por diferentes actores políticos y orientaciones intelectuales, y las continuidades y discontinuidades en su pensamiento antes y después del nazismo: así, se tratan cuestiones como el final de la República de Weimar, el institucionalismo, el antisemitismo, el ocasionalismo schmittiano, etc. Al mismo tiempo, explica que el pensamiento de Schmitt se ubica en el terreno del realismo, lo concreto y la contingencia histórica, política y jurídica. También explora los alcances de la teología política schmittiana, en tanto estructura constitutiva de la modernidad. Finalmente, el autor sostiene que Schmitt no fue nazi, sino un pensador que quiso ser nazi.

La farmacia y las ciencias farmacéuticas abarcan una serie de disciplinas diferentes. La Farmacia Asistencial se ha definido como “la disciplina científica que estudia los diferentes aspectos de la práctica de la farmacia y su impacto en los sistemas de atención de la salud, el uso de medicamentos y la atención al paciente”. Por lo tanto, los estudios de Farmacia Asistencial abarcan tantos elementos de farmacia clínica como de farmacia social. Como cualquier otra disciplina científica, la práctica de la farmacia clínica y social difunde los resultados de la investigación utilizando revistas científicas. Los editores de revistas de farmacia clínica y farmacia social tienen un papel en la promoción de la disciplina al mejorar la calidad de los artículos publicados. Como ha ocurrido en otras áreas del cuidado de la salud (es decir, medicina y enfermería), un grupo de editores de revistas de práctica farmacéutica clínica y social se reunió en Granada, España, para discutir cómo las revistas pueden contribuir a fortalecer la práctica farmacéutica como disciplina. El resultado de esa reunión se compiló en estas Declaraciones de Granada, que comprenden 18 recomendaciones reunidas en seis temas: el uso apropiado de la terminología, los resúmenes con impacto, la necesidad de la revisión por pares, la dispersión de revistas, el uso más eficaz e inteligente de los indicadores bibliométricos y la selección por parte de los autores de la revista de práctica farmacéutica más adecuada para presentar su trabajo.

Abstract Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as “the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care”. Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published. As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors' selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work.

The attention paid in the Giornale critico della filosofia italiana to the major exponents of seventeenth-century philosophical rationalism, from its foundation by Giovanni Gentile in 1920 until 1979, reveals important changes that provide us with interesting information on Italian Neo-idealism. The small number of articles on Descartes can be interpreted as the result of an overall approach – sanctioned by Gentile – different from that of Hegel, who considered Descartes as the founder of modern philosophy. For Gentile, Descartes represents a stage in the history of philosophy spanning from Humanism to Spinoza, and, in a more particular Italian perspective, from Campanella to Vico. This interpretative scheme persisted also under the direction of Ugo Spirito, when Cartesianism continued to receive little theoretical and historical attention, with the exception of Eugenio Garin’s contributions. In the years from 1945 to 1979, the Giornale critico emphasized instead the interest for Spinoza, a very important author for Gentile, up to the double monographic issue published on the occasion of the third centenary of Spinoza’s death (1977). In turn, the lack of interest for Leibniz was constant and evident from the small number of articles published from 1920 to 1979, which were furthermore not particularly connected with the international, coeval Leibniz scholarship.

La filosofia postumanista intravede un orizzonte in cui condividiamo il protagonismo culturale con altre entità non umane, sia naturali che artificiali. Questa idea ci porta all'ipotesi di un'interculturalità multiespecie, come un modo per ripensare la relazione tra umani e non umani da una prospettiva non antropocentrica, che proietta la ricerca pedagogica verso un inedito scenario più che umano. Nell'introduzione sintetizzo alcuni dei nodi centrali della prospettiva postumanista. Nei paragrafi due e tre cerco di evidenziare come le domande della prospettiva postumanista sollecitino un aggiornamento del significato e della portata del paradigma interculturale. Nelle conclusioni, concentro l'attenzione su alcune delle sfide che questo appello pone alla pedagogia.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the effectiveness of different diagnostic methods to estimate postpartum blood volume loss. Methods: a systematic review of effectiveness according to PRISMA and JBI Protocol. Searches in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL, with descriptor “Postpartum Hemorrhage” associated with keyword “Quantification of Blood Loss”. Tabulated extracted data, presented in metasynthesis and meta-analysis was applied to quantitative data. To assess risk of bias, JBI Appraisal Tools were applied. Results: fourteen studies were included, published between 2006 and 2021. Quantification of loss by any method was superior to visual estimation and is highly recommended, however the studies’ high heterogeneity did not allow estimating this association. Conclusion: the studies’ high heterogeneity, with a probable margin of error given the uncontrolled factors, indicates the need for further studies, however quantification proved to be effective in relation to visual estimate.

This article aims to highlight the importance of the link between Bologna and Barcelona, consisting of an epistemic and methodological convergence in the approach to the criminal question and, in particular, to the problem of penal selectivity. If on the one hand this link cannot be eliminated, on the other it is exposed to a series of attempts at obfuscation by the dominant legal and criminological ideology, which is even reflected in autobiographical contingencies that add an anecdotal dimension to the discussion. At the same time, the recovery of this link imposes a reflection on the contemporary criminological debate, since the distinctive features of Italian-Iberophone critical criminology clash with some premises of the most recent and advanced trends in terms of critical potential, in particular the zemiological approach. One example is the role that criminal dogmatics plays within the sociological analysis of the penal system following Franco Bricola’s lesson, and the meaning of this methodological choice in terms of transdisciplinarity and political radicalism. Our conclusion is that a better coordination between critical traditions is needed: one that aims at overcoming linguistic barriers and starts with a systematic review of the existing critical arsenal before any headlong rush

Notas sobre la 51ª Conferencia anual del Grupo Europeo para el Estudio de la Desviación y el Control Social. Universidad de Turku, Finlandia, 30 de agosto - 1 de septiembre 2023.

El trabajo muestra que los procesos de liberalización y la expansión del sector financiero han cambiado profundamente la vida económica, social y política de la economía mundial. Han surgido fenómenos nuevos, por ejemplo, la supremacía de las autoridades monetarias sobre las fiscales y la transformación de los gobiernos nacionales en acreedores de los bancos centrales. Estos cambios han generado consecuencias negativas, como la inestabilidad financiera, el aumento del número de crisis, el bajo crecimiento y la desigualdad distributiva. El artículo aclara la necesidad de modificar aspectos relevantes de la política económica. Se argumenta que atribuir a las autoridades monetarias el papel de líderes en la coordinación de las políticas económicas perjudica el crecimiento y la equidad distributiva. Se alega que debe devolverse discrecionalidad a la política fiscal y que la intervención pública tiene que guiar la evolución de la estructura productiva. A fin de cumplir lo primero, deben mejorarse la calidad de las políticas públicas y los niveles de confianza entre las diferentes instituciones de la política económica nacional y entre los operadores de los mercados financieros y las autoridades de gobierno.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare exclusive breastfeeding prevalence versus artificial feeding in newborns of mothers with COVID-19. Methods: a systematic review of prevalence, according to JBI. Searches in PubMed®, Embase, CINAHL, LILACS and Web of Science™ databases in August 2021. Cross-sectional, longitudinal or cohort studies were selected, without language and time limitations that showed breastfeeding prevalence or that allowed calculation. Results: fifteen articles published in 2020 and 2021, cohort (60%) or cross-sectional (40%) were analyzed. The average of exclusive breastfeeding in mothers with COVID-19 was 56.76% (CI=39.90–72.88), and artificial breastfeeding, 43.23% (CI = 30.99 – 55.88), without statistically significant differences. Conclusions: despite the recommendations for maintaining breastfeeding, there was a reduction worldwide, when compared to periods prior to the pandemic. With advances in science, these rates have improved, showing the impact of evidence on practices. As limitations, study sources are cited. It is recommended to carry out new studies.

ABSTRACT Introduction: flexible ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for the treatment of renal lithiasis. Postoperative urosepsis is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Traditional models used to predict the risk of this condition have limited accuracy, while models based on artificial intelligence are more promising. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review regarding the use of artificial intelligence to detect the risk of sepsis in patients with renal lithiasis undergoing flexible ureteroscopy. Methods: the literature review is in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The keyword search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus and resulted in a total of 2,496 articles, of which 2 met the inclusion criteria. Results: both studies used artificial intelligence models to predict the risk of sepsis after flexible uteroscopy. The first had a sample of 114 patients and was based on clinical and laboratory parameters. The second had an initial sample of 132 patients and was based on preoperative computed tomography images. Both obtained good measurements of Area Under the Curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating good performance. Conclusion: artificial intelligence provides multiple effective strategies for sepsis risk stratification in patients undergoing urological procedures for renal lithiasis, although further studies are needed.

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in predictive policing, with a clear opposition emerging between supporters and critics of its implementation. While critical accounts conventionally centre on opacities and operational asymmetries of the algorithmic construct (biased training, feedback loop, etc.), I argue that a different critique is first needed. Focussing on place-based techniques, I maintain that contemporary predictive mapping basically perpetuates the political and epistemic dictates which have historically framed the conceptualisation of crime in relation to space. Through a review of sources spanning from the Cartographic School to current predictive policing literature, I identify two main conceptual axes which operationalise this heritage: first, an explanatory framework of crime that has never detached from the socio-economic deficit archetype; and secondly, an ontologisation of crime alternative to biologicist positivism, nonetheless integral to the etiologic paradigm. Therefore, without first disputing these ideological bottlenecks, no initiative towards a transparent use of predictive policing is plausible, neither does a sharp distinction between place-based and person-based predictions seem tenable. En los últimos años se ha asistido a una explosión de interés por la vigilancia policial predictiva y al surgimiento de una clara oposición entre partidarios y detractores de su implementación. Mientras que los relatos críticos se centran convencionalmente en opacidades y asimetrías operacionales del constructo algorítmico (entrenamiento sesgado, bucle de retroalimentación, etc.), lo que aquí se plantea es la necesidad preliminar de otro tipo de crítica. Con el foco puesto en las técnicas de predicción geoespacial, se sostiene que los métodos de mapeo predictivo tienden a perpetuar los dictados políticos y epistemológicos que históricamente han enmarcado la conceptualización del delito en su relación con el espacio. Mediante una revisión de fuentes que abarcan desde la Escuela Cartográfica a la literatura contemporánea sobre vigilancia predictiva, se detectan dos grandes ejes conceptuales que operativizan dicho legado: primero, un marco explicativo del delito que nunca supo emanciparse del arquetipo del déficit socioeconómico, y segundo, una ontologización del delito alternativa a la del positivismo biologicista pero aun así parte integral del paradigma etiológico. Así pues, sin antes cuestionar dichas constricciones ideológicas, ninguna iniciativa encaminada a un uso transparente de la policía predictiva es plausible, ni una distinción real entre mapeo predictivo y predicción individualizada parece defendible.

O ensaio discute o processo de construção de cenários no design de moda. Opera uma crítica às metodologias praticadas nesse campo disciplinar, cujos fundamentos, ao menos em parte, estão situados na tradição do design industrial. Para tanto, compara a proposta para a configuração de produtos industriais de Löbach (2001) à proposta de desenvolvimento de coleção de Treptow (2013), evidenciando similaridades estruturais. Logo, o ensaio evidencia a possibilidade de o design de moda procurar caminhos alternativos à tradição do design industrial, valorizando o potencial de imaginação que é inerente aos cenários. Tal possibilidade é ilustrada por meio do percurso da Melissa, interpretada como um caso emblemático de organização que opera por cenários no desenvolvimento de uma coleção e, coleção após coleção, na construção de sua identidade de marca. O ensaio propõe abrir um diálogo com designers e professores de moda, para que possam reavaliar suas práticas, promovendo a imaginação.

Notas desde el grupo de trabajo ‘Miedo y saqueo en la periferia’ de cara a la 51a Conferencia anual del Grupo Europeo para el Estudio de la Desviación y el Control Social. Universidad de Turku, Facultad de Derecho, 30.8 - 1.9.2023.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es someter a un juicio crítico una tendencia recurrente – aquí denominada ‘tesis de la multiplicidad interpretativa’ – acerca de las teorías del castigo surgidas en el marco de la tradición marxista. Tomando a David Garland como figura más influyente de dicha postura, la confutación aquí propuesta no apunta a articular una argumentación tan abarcadora como aquella criticada. Menos ambiciosamente, lo que busca es cuestionar la presunta contraposición epistémica entre enfoques marxistas sobre el castigo, ejemplificada por Garland en la yuxtaposición entre la teoría de Pašukanis, por un lado, y aquella de Rusche y Kirchheimer, por el otro. Llevando a cabo una relectura de estos autores, y dejando de lado disputas teóricas que exceden el alcance de este trabajo, se quiere aquí plantear que cualquier aserción sobre una multiplicidad de teorías marxistas del castigo no debería basarse en datos puramente exteriores, sino en la demostrada imposibilidad de recomposiciones a través de denominadores comunes y constitutivos de la tradición teórica de referencia. La conclusión de la relectura aquí propuesta es, más bien, la existencia de una complementariedad epistemológica entre las dos teorías, no sólo por su mera compatibilidad, sino por una coincidencia de categorías de análisis y paralelismos argumentativos.

La farmacia y las ciencias farmacéuticas abarcan una serie de disciplinas diferentes. La farmacia práctica se ha definido como "la disciplina científica que estudia los diferentes aspectos de la práctica de la farmacia y su impacto en los sistemas sanitarios, el uso de los medicamentos y la atención al paciente". Así pues, los estudios sobre la farmacia práctica abarcan tanto elementos de farmacia clínica como de farmacia social. Como cualquier otra disciplina científica, la farmacia práctica clínica y social difunde los resultados de la investigación mediante revistas científicas. Los editores de revistas de farmacia clínica y farmacia social tienen un papel en la promoción de la disciplina mediante la mejora de la calidad de los artículos publicados. Al igual que ha ocurrido en otras áreas sanitarias (medicina y enfermería), un grupo de editores de revistas de farmacia práctica clínica y social se reunió en Granada, España, para debatir cómo las revistas podrían contribuir a fortalecer la farmacia práctica como disciplina. El resultado de esa reunión se recogió en esta Declaración de Granada, que comprende 18 recomendaciones agrupadas en seis temas: el uso adecuado de la terminología, los resúmenes con impacto, las revisiones por pares requeridas, la dispersión de revistas, un uso más eficaz y prudente de los indicadores bibliométricos de revistas y artículos, y la selección por parte de los autores de la revista de farmacia práctica más adecuada para presentar sus trabajos.

Background. Within the current literature concerning the gynecological surgery, there are only a few studies that focus on the psychological aspects that characterize the peri-operative period. In this research, the psychopathological symptoms and the illness behavior were assessed in order to confirm previous results about clinical variables such as the type and method of intervention, as well as psychological aspects regarding the positive anamnesis for mental disorders. Moreover, other factors including the desire for maternity and previous surgical interventions and pregnancies were also investigated. Methods. In this observational research, 58 women (age = 41.5±8.8), that undergone gynecological surgery (conservative and non-conservative) for benign pathologies, were consecutively recruited. Information on psychopathological symptoms was collected 15 days (T0) and one day before surgery (T1), and at the time of discharge (T2) through the Symptom Questionnaire (SQ). At T2, the Illness Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) was also administered. Results. The descriptive analyzes conducted on the total sample demonstrated that while anxious activation and irritable mood decrease from T0 to T1, somatizations and depression mood increase between T1 and T2. Moreover, the comparisons between groups, dividing the sample according to the clinical-medical and psychological variables, highlighted that the type and modality of the intervention, as well as a positive history for the presence of psychological disorders, the desire for maternity, and previous surgical interventions and pregnancies, can influence the course of psychopathological symptoms. Conclusion. This study highlights the need to include a clinical-psychological evaluation and to pay attention to specific clinical variables regarding women that are undergoing a conservative or non-conservative gynecological surgery. Considering the psychological impact of these type of interventions, the clinical history of these women, as well as their fears and desires, could facilitate a better management of the patients in terms of well-being, adherence to treatment, and recovery

ABSTRACT Introduction: Inguinal hernia and varicocele are common conditions in male population. Laparoscopy brings the opportunity to treat them simultaneously, through the same incision. However, there are different opinions about the risks for testicular perfusion of multiple procedures in the inguinal region. In this study, we assessed the feasibility of simultaneous laparoscopic procedures by studying clinical and surgical outcomes of patients undergoing bilateral inguinal hernioplasty using the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique with and without concomitant bilateral laparoscopic varicocelectomy (VLB). Methods: a sample of 20 patients from the University Hospital of USP-SP with indirect inguinal hernia and varicocele with indication for surgical correction was selected. Patients were randomized into two groups, 10 undergoing TAPP (Group I) and 10 undergoing simultaneous TAPP and VLB (Group II). Data regarding total operative time, complications and postoperative pain was gathered and analyzed. Results: there was no statistical difference between groups regarding total operative time and postoperative pain. Only one complication (spermatic cord hematoma) was observed in Group I and no complications were observed in Group II. Conclusions: simultaneous TAPP and VLB in was shown to be effective and safe, which provides a basis for conducting studies on larger scales.

Soft tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors derived from the mesoderm, the most frequent age of presentation is between the 5th and 7th decade of life, mostly in males, more frequent location in the extremities, leaving only 1% of presentation in skin hairy, and this is a new concept of treating big sarcomas. We present the case of a 45-year-old male with a diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma on the frontal, parietal, and right occipital surface of approximately 35x28x25 cm, without involvement of adjacent organs, without adjuvant therapy. Performing an oncological resection, exposing the periosteum, performing fenetrations of the external table, covering the Dermal Matrix – Integra®, using a new concept to treat this large defects, after 3 weeks with complete neodermis, we cover it with a Partial Thickness Graft, achieving 100% integration. and proper follow-up. Sarcomas are an uncommon and heterogeneous group of neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. Standard use of Integra reconstruction requires two stages: Integra forms a neo dermis through ingrowth of host vessels, followed by application of a thin split-thickness skin graft at a later date

Lateral abdominal herniae are rare, they usually occur after trauma, vascular or renal surgery, their incidence is less than 2%. Since 1906 there are just about 250 reported cases and there are many treatment options, including laparoscopic approach, direct muscle approximation with sutures, mesh, suture anchors and, even, conservative treatment. We present the case of a 30 year old male who suffers a motorcycle crash that results in a posttraumatic flank hernia. He was treated with a delayed abdominal wall reconstruction using polypropylene mesh and a fascia lata graft. There is no algorithm or specific treatment for lateral abdominal herniae and, because of its low incidence, little is known about their evolution and long-term results of the distinct reconstruction techniques. It´s possible to reconstruct the abdomen wall early or delay it, depending on the abdominal cavity contamination and the patient´s general condition.

L’Anthropocène n’est pas l’époque d’une crise de la nature, mais l’époque d’une crise épistémique qui stimule la sémiotique de la culture à reprendre le projet d’une archéologie du savoir. Dans cet article nous donnons quelques indications pour en faire état dans le discours du droit de l’environnement. Nous nous focaliserons sur le tournant des années ‘60 et ‘70, très significatif pour le développement de cette branche du droit. À partir d’un un corpus comprenant droit national français, droit international et régulations européennes, nous proposerons d’abord une généalogie sémiotique des espaces naturels ; ensuite, nous montrerons comment elle conduit à la reformulation des temporalités juridiques ; enfin, nous terminerons par évoquer ses retombées sur l’actorialisation des non-humains en tant que sujets de droit.

This paper focuses on the study of a group of metal artefacts recently recovered during the archaeological excavations in Vila do Touro (Central Portugal), i.e., 19 artefacts and a small metallic inclusion embedded in a pottery sherd. The objects have been analysed by an X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer to characterise the elemental composition of metal artefacts. A Scanning Electron Microscope with X-ray Microanalysis System and an optical microscope were used to observe and chemically characterise the metal inclusion in the pottery. The fragment of an ingot was also analysed by a multicollector Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer to address issues bound to the provenance of raw material. The results revealed different compositional patterns (pure copper, binary bronze, i.e., Cu+Sn, leaded bronzes, i.e., Cu+Sn+Pb, and gold), while pointing out the Ossa Morena region (Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula) as likely source of copper used to produce the ingot. RESUMEN: Este trabajo se centra en el estudio de un grupo de artefactos metálicos recuperados recientemente durante las excavaciones arqueológicas en Vila do Touro (Portugal Central), es decir, 19 artefactos y una pequeña inclusión metálica incrustada en las paredes de un fragmento de cerámica. Los objetos han sido analizados mediante un espectrómetro de fluorescencia de rayos X para caracterizar la composición elemental de los artefactos metálicos. Se utilizó un microscopio electrónico de barrido con sistema de microanálisis de rayos X y un microscopio óptico para observar y caracterizar químicamente la inclusión metálica en la cerámica. También se analizó el fragmento de un lingote mediante un espectrómetro de masas de plasma acoplado inductivamente multicolector para abordar cuestiones relacionadas con la procedencia de la materia prima. Los resultados revelaron diferentes patrones de composición (cobre puro, bronce binario, es decir, Cu+Sn, bronces con plomo, es decir, Cu+Sn+Pb, y oro), al tiempo que señalaron la región de Ossa Morena (suroeste de la Península Ibérica) como probable fuente del cobre utilizado para producir el lingote.

The article describes a didactic module developed during the 2017-2018 s. y. at the ‘G. Marconi’ - I. C. Centro 2 Middle School in Brescia. The didactics of listening was combined with the need to address a problematic phenomenon experienced by teachers of all disciplines: the often undisciplined behaviour of classes, especially in lower secondary school, when students have to get over the childhood stage and enter early adolescence. A workshop based on the provocative 4'33'' by John Cage and on the song The Sound of Silence by the duo Simon & Garfunkel was aimed at adapting the category of silence, in its various expressions, as an educational tool. Silence was approached as a privileged moment of interest and attention, as an element of listening education, in both the human and musical sense of the word.

La teoría y la investigación sobre el apego se utilizan en muchos contextos aplicados, incluidos los juzgados de familia, pero hay malentendidos muy extendidos y que a veces dan lugar a aplicaciones erróneas. El objetivo de este documento de consenso es, por lo tanto, mejorar la comprensión, contrarrestar la desinformación y dirigir el uso de la teoría del apego por parte de los juzgados de familia en la dirección de un apoyo basado en la evidencia, especialmente en lo que respecta a la protección de niñas y niños y las decisiones sobre su custodia. El artículo se divide en dos partes. En la primera abordamos los problemas relacionados con el uso de la teoría y la investigación sobre apego en los juzgados de familia, analizando las causas de tales problemas. Para ello examinamos las aplicaciones de la teoría del apego en los juzgados de familia en el marco del concepto de interés superior de niños y niñas, analizamos los malentendidos relacionados con la teoría del apego e identificamos los factores que han obstaculizado su adecuada aplicación. En la segunda parte ofrecemos recomendaciones para la aplicación de la teoría y la investigación sobre apego. Para ello establecemos tres principios del apego: la necesidad de niñas y niños de cuidadoras y cuidadores habituales que no maltraten, el valor de la continuidad de cuidados de calidad suficientemente buena y los beneficios de las redes de relaciones de apego. También analizamos la idoneidad de las evaluaciones de los estilos de apego y del comportamiento de los cuidadores para fundamentar la toma de decisiones de los juzgados de familia. Llegamos a la conclusión de que las evaluaciones de quienes cuidan deberían ocupar un lugar central. Aunque no hay consenso entre nosotros sobre el uso de las evaluaciones del estilo de apego para fundamentar las decisiones sobre custodia y protección infantil, dichas evaluaciones son actualmente las más adecuadas para orientar y dirigir las intervenciones de apoyo. Por último, proporcionamos orientaciones para guiar la futura colaboración en la investigación interdisciplinaria.

Objective: We address the hypothesis that the extraordinary sandstorm occurred on 22-24 February 2020 might have a role in the different cumulated incidence of COVID-19 cases between the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, since it obliged to reduce significantly air traffic and forced to suspend all major carnival street events in all most locations. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of COVID-19 cases as to 1 April 2020 according to symptoms onset, weather-related data and Carnival events in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Results: The sandstorm occurred on February 22-24, 2020, forced air traffic to close, reducing the influx of tourists to the Canary Islands and suspending carnival events in most places, except in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Cumulated incidence as to 1 April was 132.81/100,000 in Tenerife, and 56.04/100,000 in Gran Canaria. Conclusions: The suspension of Carnival events due to the sandstorm in the Canary Islands contributed to reduce differently the SARS-CoV-2 spread in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Resumen: Objetivo: Investigar la hipótesis de que la extraordinaria tormenta de arena ocurrida el 22-24 de febrero de 2020 pudo tener un papel en la diferente incidencia acumulada de casos de COVID-19 entre las islas de Tenerife y Gran Canaria, en cuanto conllevó una reducción significativa del tráfico aéreo y la cancelación de las mayores celebraciones del carnaval en muchas poblaciones. Método: Se realiza un análisis retrospectivo de los casos de COVID-19 hasta el 1 abril de 2020 según fecha de inicio de los síntomas, de los datos climáticos y de las celebraciones de carnaval en Tenerife y Gran Canaria. Resultados: La tormenta de arena ocurrida el 22-24 de febrero de 2020 obligó a cerrar el tráfico aéreo, reduciendo la llegada de turistas a Canarias, y a suspender las celebraciones de los carnavales en muchas poblaciones, excepto en Santa Cruz de Tenerife. El 1 abril de 2020, la incidencia acumulada de casos era de 132,81/100.000 en Tenerife y de 56,04/100.000 en Gran Canaria. Conclusiones: La cancelación de las celebraciones de carnaval debido a la tempestad de arena en las Islas Canarias parece que contribuyó de manera diferente a la reducción de la incidencia del SARS-CoV-2 en Tenerife y Gran Canaria.

In the aftermath of the COVID 19 pandemic, social relationships were severely compromised and the lockdown forced people to stay at home, forcing them to interface, exclusively, via social-networks. The research group of the University of Pavia wanted to investigate whether this overexposure to social networks has had a negative influence on the phenomenon of cyberbullying; in addition to this, they wanted to investigate what perception young people had of the lockdown and how they experienced the impossibility of hanging out, offline, with their peers.

Sulla strada del ritorno da Roma dopo l’incoronazione imperiale, Carlo Magno ordinò che la statua equestre in bronzo collocata davanti al palatium di Ravenna e raffigurante il re ariano Teoderico fosse trasferita ad Aquisgrana – una scelta che è sembrata a molti difficilmente compatibile con il ruolo di sovrano cattolico e difensore della Chiesa di Carlo, e che è stata spesso spiegata facendo riferimento quasi esclusivamente alle qualità artistiche del monumento. Tuttavia, le ragioni che spinsero il nuovo imperatore a un gesto così sorprendente furono essenzialmente politiche e riconducibili in primis ai molti significati che il monumento equestre di Teoderico permetteva di esprimere. Trasferendo ad Aquisgrana l’effigie del grande re ostrogoto, Carlo Magno volle pertanto mostrare – dentro e fuori i suoi domini – in che modo egli intendesse la sua nuova dignità imperiale.

Objective. To assess the cost-effectiveness and economic sustainability of treosulfan plus fludarabine compared with busulfan plus fludarabine as a conditioning treatment for malignant disease prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) in adult patients in Italy. Method. The two theoretical cohorts of patients aged ≥ 60 years with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) were pooled and followed over time using a partitioned survival model with cycles of 28 days. Patients can transition between a post-HSCT recovery/remission state (Event-Free Survival state, EFS state), a relapsed/progressed disease state, and a death state. A lifetime horizon for cost-effectiveness analysis and a 5-years’ time horizon for budget impact analysis were used. The perspective of the Italian National Health Service was adopted. Utility values were obtained from published sources. Costs included: drug acquisition, HSCT procedure, management and treatment of adverse reactions, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and health states, end of life treatment. Discounting of 3% per year was applied for both costs and outcomes according to Italian guidelines. Sensitivity was tested through both one-way and probabilistic analyses. Results. Cost-effectiveness analysis showed that treosulfan is both more effective and less expensive compared with busulfan (+1.11 life-years, +0.96 quality-adjusted life-years per patient and -€ 41,784 per patient). On the side of economic sustainability, the introduction of treosulfan in the market could generate a cumulative decrement of the expense incurred by NHS of about -€ 179,174 over five years. Conclusion. Treosulfan could represent a cost-effective and sustainable treatment alternative from the perspective of the NHS.

ABSTRACT Introduction: semi-rigid ureteroscopy is the procedure of choice for the treatment of ureterolithiasis, but it requires a learning curve to be performed safely. Objective: To describe an estimate of the learning curve for performing semi-rigid ureterorenolithotripsy in patients with small-sized ureterolithiasis and to estimate the minimum number of procedures necessary to safely perform the surgical procedure. Methods: this is a prospective study evaluating the learning curve of a resident of urology in the first 60 semirigid ureteroscopies in patients with ureterolithiasis up to 1cm. The patients were divided into three groups: Group I one to twenty surgeries, Group II twenty one to forty surgeries and Group III forty one to sixty surgeries. The surgeries were recorded and analyzed by two urologists experienced in endourology. A qualitative analysis was performed based on a previously validated tool and a quantitative analysis. Results: all qualitative variables had significant variation between Groups I and II (p

Odio amoroso and La maestrina d'inglese, first published in Vita di Alberto Pisani (Milan, Luigi Perelli editore, 1870), were released nine years later in the collection of short stories Goccie d'inchiostro (Rome, Stabilimento Tipografico Italiano, 1879), in which Una visita al Papa was also published.

Dans cet essai, nous analysons à travers une perspective de genre et avec une attention particulière à l’élaboration stylistique deux romans publiés à quelques années de distance respectivement en Italie et en France : Il mondo deve sapere de Michela Murgia et Stupeur et tremblement d’Amélie Nothomb. Dans des contextes très différents, un centre d’appel à la périphérie du monde globalisé, une grande multinationale japonaise, l’entreprise contemporaine devient un symbole de violence, un lieu où les relations sont loin d’être équitables entre hommes et femmes. Le lieu de travail devient un emblème de la contradiction contemporaine, une source de revenus, mais aussi l’origine de discrimination, de subordination, d’angoisse et de peur.

Objective: To estimate the economic impact of the introduction of a new care system based on apomorphine and Patient Support Program for motor fluctuations (“on-off” phenomena) in patients with Parkinson’s disease which are not sufficiently controlled by oral anti-Parkinson medication in Italy. Method: A Budget Impact model was developed to evaluate the new care system in patients with Parkinson’s disease over a 3-years’ time horizon. The comparator treatments included in the analysis were treatments based on apomorphine and levodopa + carbidopa. The analysis was conducted from a National Health Service (NHS) perspective. Costs included in the analysis were acquisition costs and device costs. A deterministic sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the uncertainty of the parameters used. A break-even analysis was conducted to identify the minimum number of subjects that would need to be treated with the new care system to obtain a positive Budget Impact (World With – World Without = 0). Results: The analysis shows that the introduction of the new care system based on apomorphine could generate a cost saving incurred by the NHS of over € 5.7 million in 3 years. Break-even analysis shows that if it were possible to intercept with the new treatment at least 9 patients treated with apomorphine, there would not be an increase in costs for the NHS. Conclusion: The new care system would respond to the unmet needs of patients with Parkinson’s disease by generating a reduction in the expenditure incurred by NHS.

ABSTRACT Introduction: retrograde intrarenal surgery (CRIR) is an evolving tool. Its learning curve is not well established, despite the common use of flexible ureteroscopes today. Our aim is to estimate the number of procedures needed for one to perform RIRS consistently. Material and Methods: a urology resident had his first 80 RIRS for nephrolithiasis analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The procedures were divided into 4 groups containing 20 surgeries each (I to IV), according to their order, for comparison. Results: there was no difference in stone sizes between groups. All qualitative variables varied significantly between groups (p

La Universidad de Siena conserva el archivo histórico del antiguo hospital neuropsiquiátrico de Arezzo (1901-1990) con el objetivo de preservar, reorganizar, estudiar y mejorar el material (administrativo, sanitario, audiovisual, iconográfico) presente. El artículo reflexiona sobre el posible "uso educativo" de esta pluralidad de materiales y sobre la necesidad de que el Archivo se siga definiendo como un espacio de investigación-intervención multidisciplinar para todos aquellos sujetos (especialmente profesionales de la salud y del cuidado) interesados ​​en conocer y explorar la relación entre la enfermedad mental y el internamiento en un hospital psiquiátrico.

Existing studies in the literature indicate an association between the use of dating apps and substance-related behaviours (i.e., alcohol consumption, drug consumption). However, to date, no studies investigated the relation between dating app use and smoking. This study aims to explore this association. A total of 1278 respondents completed an online ad hoc questionnaire assessing demographics, smoking habits, dating app use, motivations for using dating apps. Multiple logistic regression analyses were run to investigate the relation between demographics and dating apps use on tobacco consumption. Being active user was significantly associated with being smoker, light daily and moderate-to-heavy smoker. Among users, using apps with the motive of searching for friends accounted for lower odds of smoking, light daily smoking and moderate-to-heavy smoking. However, heavy dating app users were less likely to smoke, to be light daily smokers and to be moderate-to-heavy smokers. The study indicates an association between using the apps and smoking, suggesting that motives for using the apps and intensity of use may moderate this association.

Resumo: Este artigo trata da síntese de resultados de pesquisa de mestrado em Educação, o qual objetivou caracterizar a organização e o funcionamento do atendimento educacional especializado (AEE), realizado nas salas de recursos multifuncionais (SRM), visando ao atendimento dos educandos com autismo na rede municipal de Manaus. Delineada pela abordagem qualitativa de caráter descritivo, a pesquisa foi norteada pelo método dialético. Como lócus da coleta de dados, foram escolhidas cinco escolas da rede municipal de Manaus que possuem SRM. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados roteiros de entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas aos professores participantes. Para análise das entrevistas, foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Os resultados e as discussões dos dados foram organizados de acordo com as categorias de análise definidas: encaminhamento; atividades desenvolvidas; perfil dos docentes que atuam no AEE; e parcerias. Constatou-se que os elementos problematizados neste estudo explicitam a compreensão de que o processo de inclusão, por meio do AEE, perpassa pelas políticas públicas de educação inclusiva e aponta que a organização e o funcionamento das SRM são fundamentais na construção de contextos inclusivos para os educandos com autismo.

The rise of the Isthmus of Panama is one of the major biogeographical events of the Cenozoic. It is a massive natural experiment in biological migrations, as lands formerly separated—South America and Central/North America—became connected. There is, however, a difference in timing between the final closure of the Isthmus (4.2-3.5 Ma) and the onset of the massive mammal migrations (i.e., Great American Biotic Interchange, GABI, 2.7 Ma). This time lag has been brought up to suggest that other factors rather than a land connection were major drivers of the GABI. A large biome change from forest to savanna in Central America and Northwestern South America could have provided the conduit for accelerating the biotic interchange between both continents. This hypothesis has been rarely tested as the Plio-Pleistocene fossil record of those regions has not been sufficiently studied. Gheny K. Shuster discovered a brand new Upper Pleistocene fossil deposit in and under the Cauca River (Southwestern Colombia), one of such possible migration corridors. We conducted a field geophysical and sedimentological study to understand the geometry of the fossil-rich deposits, dated them using carbon isotopes (C14), and assessed the type of biome (savanna versus forest) that dominated the region by looking at pollen samples. We found that the conglomerates accumulated in lenticular bodies, perpendicular to the modern course of the Cauca River during the Late Pleistocene in alluvial fan settings. The vegetation corresponds to a tropical dry forest and there is no evidence of extensive savannas. The Cauca River deposits could become a relevant site for the Neotropical Pleistocene.

Áreas costeiras constituem-se como importantes para a análise geomorfológica, uma vez que as formas de relevo resultantes de processos complexos podem ser encontradas e fornecem informações sobre a dinâmica da paisagem em diferentes escalas têmporo-espacial. Diversos estudos oferecem uma visão geral sobre os atributos que influenciam a evolução da planície costeira do rio Paraíba do Sul, estado do Rio de Janeiro, mas a identificação e caracterização dos baixos terraços marinhos permanece pouco explorada. No entanto, diferentes níveis de terraços foram mencionados superficialmente, pelo menos desde o século 20, como registros de antigas posições da linha de costa e despertando muitas discussões. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho identificou e caracterizou diferentes níveis de baixos terraços marinhos e as coberturas superficiais associadas. Para tal, foram utilizadas imagens orbitais e não orbitais, análise granulométrica e Radar de Penetração no Solo (Georradar). A hipótese é que os diferentes níveis destes terraços marinhos podem fornecer insights e contribuir com o avanço do conhecimento sobre a evolução da área durante o Holoceno. Os resultados indicaram a ocorrência de dois níveis destes baixos terraços marinhos (N1 e N2), cujos aspectos morfossedimentares das coberturas superficiais sugerem morfogênese e relações morfodinâmicas associadas às transgressões e regressões marinhas no Holoceno superior. Por fim, espera-se que os resultados possam contribuir com o avanço dos estudos sobre a dinâmica costeira na região e, principalmente, suscitar discussões sobre as influências das pulsações climáticas holocênicas na dinâmica geomorfológica de áreas costeiras.

Le projet de la Classe du futur vise à repenser les salles de classe à la formation initiale et continue des enseignants. Ce projet s’inscrit dans une volonté d’offrir des espaces d’apprentissage flexibles à l’université tout en préparant les enseignants aux défis du 21e siècle. Par un effort concerté, des étudiants issus des sciences du design et de l’éducation ont proposé une esquisse d’aménagement de locaux existants à l’UQAM. L’esquisse présentée dans cet article permet également de réfléchir sur l’intérêt des projets de recherche interdisciplinaires et les caractéristiques d’une classe d’apprentissage actif en milieu universitaire.

Resumo Reconhecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde como essencial às boas práticas em assistência paliativa, “cuidado espiritual” é termo recente na saúde brasileira e carece de reflexão específica. A fim de diminuir tal lacuna, este estudo apresenta o estado da arte sobre a temática, traz breves orientações sobre como identificar necessidades espirituais e descreve quatro ferramentas úteis para esse cuidado. Após contextualização, reflete-se, de forma introdutória e com base nos campos da bioética e da teologia pública, se esse tipo de cuidado seria questão de saúde pública. O texto conclui com recomendações para subsidiar políticas públicas voltadas à implementação do cuidado espiritual na assistência paliativa no Brasil.

Objectives. The analysis of transmission dynamics is crucial to determine whether mitigation or suppression measures reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study sought to estimate the basic (R0) and time-varying (Rt) reproduction number of COVID-19 and contrast the public health measures for ten South American countries. Methods. Data was obtained from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Country-specific R0 values during the first two weeks of the outbreak and Rt values after 90 days were estimated. Results. Countries used a combination of isolation, physical distancing, quarantine, and community-wide containment measures to staunch the spread of COVID-19 at different points in time. R0 ranged from 1.52 (95% confidence interval: 1.13-1.99) in Venezuela to 3.83 (3.04-4.75) in Chile, whereas Rt after 90 days ranged from 0.71 (95% credible interval: 0.39-1.05) in Uruguay to 1.20 (1.19-1.20) in Brazil. Different R0 and Rt values may be related to the testing capacity of each country. Conclusion. R0 in the early phase of the outbreak varied across the South American countries. The public health measures adopted in the initial period of the pandemic appear to have reduced Rt over time in each country, albeit to different levels.
