The agents of deterioration (AoD) offer a structured categorization of hazards to collections: they are a basis for risk-informed preservation management. In drawing up the AoD their creators were not ignorant of wider societal issues of concern to conservators, but they envisaged them to be part of a broader institutional activity located beyond the scope of preventive conservation. Within conservation, there have been discussions about additional agents: social, cultural, or political causes of loss. Their continued exclusion from the AoD may mistakenly be interpreted as a lack of consideration of such concerns. There are reasons to limit the scope of an institution's preventive conservation system but not everyone agrees that those reasons are sufficient to justify this limitation. This paper is a discussion and disagreement by two authors. Henderson argues that dissociation should capture any loss of meaning resulting from any aspect of conservation practice, including cleaning, documentation, failure to respect beliefs, etc. She argues that dissociation from context may stop preventive conservators from identifying and respecting optimal traditional sustainable methods and techniques. Waller argues that the threat of losing context information about collection items should be managed as part of the wider cultural heritage institution's role and resolved through its engagement with the community. He acknowledges that preventive conservation can contribute to understanding and mitigating this form of loss, but advocates that primary responsibility must be situated at a higher level than the preventive conservation remit.

Introducción: La morbilidad materna extrema es aquella complicación grave que ocurre durante el embarazo, parto o puerperio que pone en riesgo la vida de la mujer y se asocia a resultados perinatales adversos. Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a la morbilidad materna extrema. Métodos: Estudio observacional, analítico de casos y controles. La muestra de 219 pacientes estuvo conformada por 73 casos con morbilidad materna extrema y 146 controles, sanos del Hospital San Bartolomé de Lima, Perú. Las variables medidas fueron sociodemográficas, obstétricas, clínicas y neonatales. Se aplicaron las medidas resúmenes para cada tipo de variables y la determinación de los factores de riesgos mediante la aplicación del odds ratio con un intervalo de confianza del 95 %. Resultados: Los factores asociados a morbilidad materna extrema, según el análisis multivariado, fueron: Síndrome Hellp (OR= 21; p= 0,020), hemorragia postparto (OR= 4,9; p= 0,007), parto por cesárea (OR= 6,3; p= 0,002), sobrepeso (OR= 4; p= 0,030) y parto pretérmino (OR= 9,8; p= 0,001). Conclusiones: El síndrome de Hellp, la hemorragia postparto, el parto por cesárea, el sobrepeso y el parto pretérmino son factores de riesgo asociados a la morbilidad materna extrema.

Background: Losing a family member during childhood is a potentially traumatic event and increases the risk of mental health difficulties. Adolescents have the right to express their views in research of relevance to them, but few studies have involved bereaved adolescents as collaborators (i.e. Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)). Furthermore, to ensure meaningful and non-tokenistic involvement, bereaved adolescents’ levels of participation and experiences of taking part in research need to be evaluated. Objectives: The aim was to describe and evaluate a PPI process working with bereaved adolescents to develop a self-management mobile app for adolescents in grief. Methods: The PPI process consisted of four workshops during which the app’s logo, colours, name, content, and layout were discussed with six parentally bereaved adolescents aged 13–18 years. The adolescents were recruited through a non-profit organisation providing support for adolescents in grief. The PPI process was documented and evaluated using participant observations and an online survey completed by the adolescents, covering the themes of social context, participation, and influence. Results: The adolescents perceived the social context as comfortable and inclusive, where their knowledge was valued. Their participation was characterised by ownership and motivated by a desire to help others with similar experiences. The adolescents’ ability to participate in PPI activities was assisted by the researchers’ flexibility, although challenging assignments may have made participation harder. Throughout PPI activities, adolescents contributed with relevant input and reported feeling influential. The study reached the intended levels of participation and appeared to adequately fulfil the adolescents’ right to participation. Conclusions: Engaging adolescents who have undergone a potentially traumatic event, such as the loss of a family member, in research can enhance the overall relevance of the study. Moreover, it can entail a meaningful and positive experience for the participating adolescents, while also fulfilling their fundamental right to participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Social acknowledgment is a protective factor for survivors of trauma. However, the role of social acknowledgment in association with prolonged grief symptoms has not yet been established. Objectives: The current study aims to explore the relationship between social acknowledgment and prolonged grief via two beliefs foundational to how people think about grief-related emotions (1) goodness (i.e. whether emotions are desirable, useful, or unwanted and harmful), and (2) controllability (i.e. whether emotions are regulated according to our will or involuntary, arising of their own accord). These effects were explored in two different cultural samples of bereaved people. Methods: One hundred and fifty-four German-speaking and two hundred and sixty-two Chinese bereaved people who lost their loved ones completed questionnaires assessing social acknowledgment, beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions, and prolonged grief symptoms. Results: Correlation analyses showed that social acknowledgment was positively linked with stronger beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions and negatively related to prolonged grief symptoms. Beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions correlated negatively with prolonged grief symptoms. Multiple mediation analyses suggested that beliefs about the controllability and goodness of grief-related emotions mediated the link between social acknowledgment and prolonged grief symptoms. Cultural groups did not moderate the above model. Conclusion: Social acknowledgment may be related to bereavement adjustment consequences via the roles of beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions. These effects seem to be consistent cross-culturally. Social acknowledgment correlated positively with stronger beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions and negatively with prolonged grief symptoms. Beliefs about the goodness and controllability of grief-related emotions were negatively linked with prolonged grief symptoms. Beliefs about the controllability and goodness of grief-related emotions mediated the relationship between social acknowledgment and prolonged grief symptoms. The model presented cross-cultural consistency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en el cantón Latacunga, Parroquia José Guango Bajo, Barrio Centro, con el objetivo de realizar un análisis sobre el desperdicio de alimentos que se da en la zona para diseñar la propuesta de implementación del Banco de alimentos UTC. Se utilizó la metodología de la herramienta de kobotoolbox que permitió levantar los resultados de la encuesta. Se aplicó el muestreo aleatorio estratégico para la aplicación de 2.481 encuestas distribuidas de la siguiente manera; se aplicó a 700 productores agrícolas, 860 a consumidores y 921 a comercializadores. Este estudio se enfoca en el contexto del desperdicio. Los resultados detallan la carencia normativa e inconvenientes derivados de la composición del sistema, de igual manera las encuestas informan que la mayoría de las personas desperdician los alimentos, 30% en los hogares, 25% comercialización, 25% almacenamiento mientras que en la distribución de los alimentos 20%. El 80% de los encuestados afirman que sería una buena iniciativa la propuesta del Banco de Alimentos UTC para la ciudad de Latacunga la cual beneficiara a las personas vulnerables del sector.

The objective of this pilot study was to adapt and provide preliminary data of the efficacy of an intervention aimed at family caregivers of adults with intellectual disability to provide them with different coping resources to better cope with their role as caregivers, as well as to reduce the psychological overload and pain associated with the diagnosis. A total of 24 caregivers participated, of which 14 were assigned to an intervention group (IG) and 10 to a control group (CG) through simple randomization. Variables of overload, mental health and feelings of grief produced by the diagnosis were measured. Linear models for repeated measures were used to evaluate the effect of the program. After the intervention, significant differences (p< .5) were found in the dimensions of emotional pain, relational loss and acceptance of loss, and feelings of grief brought on by the diagnosis. In conclusion, it is necessary that this type of program be given early to these caregivers in order to avoid the pathological and chronic grief into which they frequently end up.

Background: Caring for people with dementia generates stress among family caregivers. One of these stressor events is ambiguous loss. Objectives: To translate, adapt, and validate the Boundary Ambiguity Scale (BAS) into European Portuguese and assess its psychometric properties. Methodology: Methodological study with a sample of 88 family caregivers of people with dementia. Internal consistency was assessed using McDonald's omega coefficient (ω). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and criterion validity through the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Results: The BAS showed excellent content validity. The EFA revealed a two-factor model, explaining 44% of variance, and a ω of 0.72. Family caregivers who live with people with dementia had greater ambiguous loss (t = 2.823, p < 0.01). A statistically significant moderate positive correlation was found between the BAS and the PSS (rs = 0.578, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The BAS has acceptable validity and internal consistency for assessing ambiguous loss. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La pérdida, degradación y fragmentación de bosques es un problema mundial normalmente relacionado a actividades forestales ilegales; la Restauración del Paisaje Forestal (RPF) se presenta como una alternativa para enfrentar estas problemáticas, consiguiendo involucrar y comprender a los actores interesados para lograr un proyecto exitoso. Esta investigación se enfocó en mujeres rurales organizadas del distrito de Yaguarón a objeto de proponer modelos innovadores para proyectos de RPF, considerando la cobertura forestal actual y actores clave, buscando mantener la equidad de género, transparencia y ética. Para esta investigación se analizó la cobertura forestal actual, se obtuvieron datos de fragmentación de los bosques; mediante talleres con investigadores se identificaron modelos forestales implementables, así como especies recomendadas. Para conocer la percepción de los actores clave se diseñó un cuestionario y se realizaron dos talleres, uno en cada comité de mujeres, en el mes de octubre de 2021. En éstos se buscó comprender qué modelos de proyectos de RPF serían de mayor interés para los actores locales. La cobertura forestal del distrito se clasificó en 6.487 ha de cobertura boscosa (≥ 2 ha) y 753 ha de cobertura arbórea (˂ 2 ha). La cobertura boscosa estuvo distribuida en 258 fragmentos y la cobertura arbórea en 1.881. Se identificaron 85 modelos forestales implementables clasificados según uso actual de la tierra. Entre ellos, el Sistema de Plantación Forestal con especies frutales fue el más seleccionado por las mujeres. Estos insumos servirán de base para la Planificación de la RPF de Yaguarón.

El estudio se desarrolló en el organopónico T-15 bajo la tecnología de cultivo semiprotegido en canteros rellenados con materia orgánica y suelo sobre el cual crecen los cultivos, durante el período de noviembre del 2015 a junio del 2016, con el objetivo de evaluar los niveles de daños económicos que ocasionan los moluscos plagas en el cultivo de L. sativa. Se utilizó un diseño experimental de bloques al azar y arreglo monofactorial con seis tratamientos de 5 m2 con diferentes niveles poblacionales (t1-0ind/5m2, t2-2ind/5m2, t3-5ind/5m2, t4-10ind/5m2, t5-15ind/5m2 y t6-20ind/5m2) y cuatro réplicas de 30m2. Durante el ciclo del cultivo se efectuaron actividades culturales y tratamientos fitosanitarios tradicionales en la localidad. Las observaciones se realizaron cada tres días con un marco de alambre de 0,25 m2, manteniendo dentro del rango establecido los niveles poblacionales, haciendo adición o sustracción de los moluscos manualmente en cada tratamiento. Al final del ciclo del cultivo se midió el rendimiento por tratamiento y la producción comercializada por calidades. Se estimó la pérdida monetaria de cada tratamiento por experimento a partir de los precios de comercialización establecidos oficialmente en el centro. La proporción total de plantas con perjuicios fue en ascenso entre los diferentes niveles poblacionales de moluscos plagas y mayor con respecto al testigo, los resultados muestran que con el aumento de la densidad poblacional disminuye el rendimiento y aumenta la pérdida.

Adapting by making meaning of adverse life situations such as unavoidable losses and other stressful events throughout life is crucial for people to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Holland et al. (2010, 2014) created and validated two versions -long and short- of a scale to assess the degree of adaptation of an individual to a loss or a stressful event. To adapt and validate the Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale-Short Form (ISLES-SF) to Mexican Spanish, an instrumental study was carried out. In the exploratory factorial analysis, the sample consisted of 227 participants (M = 19.51, SD = 1.67) and in the confirmatory factorial analysis, 550 participated (M = 19.86, SD = 3.38). Each factorial analysis corroborated the bifactorial structure, with a good fit of the model, satisfactory internal reliability, and good construct and instrumental validity, like the original scale validations.

La investigación se realizó en Tamiahua, Veracruz. Con el objetivo de evaluar la erosión hídrica; Se tomaron datos sobre la pérdida de suelo cada mes. Se utilizó la técnica de clavos y rondanas en dos sitios con diferente manejo de suelo, para ello, se trazaron dos áreas con tres transectos cada uno, separados a cinco metros cada punto. Se consideró el área con diferente cubierta vegetal. Se estimó la pérdida de suelo en ambas áreas, resultando con notoria diferencia entre ellas, mostrando con ello, que, si se mantiene el suelo con cubiertas vegetales naturales o antrópicas, se evita la pérdida de suelo, que, al medirse continuamente, se incrementa esa cantidad, lo que provoca un empobrecimiento del suelo con el paso del tiempo. Se pusieron barreras de protección o contención desde inicio, con madera de tarro en forma de V, con doble propósito, el primero, para evitar la pérdida de suelo y para realizar la toma de muestra, para su análisis en el laboratorio de suelos de la Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias, donde ambas muestras resultaron con textura migajonosa (franca), con pH alcalino, también con suficiente materia orgánica. De esta forma, con la estimación de la pérdida del suelo en los sitios de los clavos y con el sedimento atrapado cerca de ellos, se demuestra que, en pendientes pronunciadas, en temporada de lluvias, existe riesgo de pérdida de suelo fértil si no se le realizan medidas preventivas de protección como barreras, incrementándose, además, si se mantiene el suelo desnudo, sin cubierta vegetal. Lo anterior, permite crear conciencia para dar un manejo adecuado a los suelos.

Meaning‐oriented approaches to grief therapy have made substantial contributions by defining the internal processes of meaning‐making and, more recently, clinical scholars have introduced relational approaches as means for continuing bonds with the deceased and increasing social support for the bereaved. However, the complicated interactive processes of interpersonal meaning‐making pose added challenges as family members attempt to coregulate each other's grief experiences. While systemic therapists have consistently emphasized the essential role of familial relationships in fostering resilience through interpersonally constructed meaning, there remains a need for clarity in terms of the specific processes by which this occurs. The Meaning Reconstruction Model and Emotionally Focused Therapy provide process‐oriented therapeutic strategies for facilitating interpersonal interactions that foster deep relational connection and self‐identity transformation. In this article, we explore how these models can be integrated and applied to the dynamic needs of families who are adjusting to loss. Future clinical and research directions are also discussed.

El dolor del duelo tras una pérdida real o percibida es un dolor que invade nuestra vida y transforma nuestra biografía. Una situación de epidemia o pandemia provoca que la muerte se produzca en condiciones más duras y complejas; en ocasiones impide la despedida afectiva de la persona fallecida por mantener las normas que evitan el contagio de la enfermedad. Y el dolor se acrecienta. Entre las diversas maneras de afrontar el dolor de la pérdida, está prestar atención al amor que nos ha dejado la persona fallecida o las personas que nos rodean tras el deceso. Vamos a extraer varias enseñanzas de tres películas que nos hablan de la muerte desde lo más profundo del corazón.

The International Classification of Diseases eleventh edition (ICD-11) has recently included prolonged grief disorder (PGD), a diagnosis characterized by severe, persistent, and disabling grief. The text revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5-TR) is scheduled to include a similar but distinct diagnosis, also termed PGD. Concerns have been raised that these new diagnoses are qualitatively different from both prior proposed diagnoses for pathological grief and each other, which may affect the generalizability of findings obtained with different criteria sets. We conducted a content overlap analysis of PGDICD-11, PGDDSM-5-TR, and previous proposals for pathological grief diagnoses (i.e. PGD 2009; complicated grief (CG), PGD ICD-11 beta draft, persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD) per DSM-5). Using the Jaccard's Index, we established the degree of content overlap between core and accessory symptoms of PGDICD-11, PGDDSM-5-TR, and prior proposals for pathological grief diagnoses. Main findings are that PGDICD-11 and PGDDSM-5-TR showed moderate content overlap with each other and with most prior proposed diagnoses for pathological grief. PGDICD-11 and PGDDSM-5-TR showed the strongest content overlap with their direct predecessors, PGDICD-11 beta draft and PCBD, respectively. Limited content overlap between PGDICD-11 and PGDDSM-5-TR and preceding criteria sets may threaten generalizability of past research on phenomenological characteristics of pathological grief to current criteria sets. Similarly, findings obtained with instruments to assess PGDICD-11 may not generalize to PGDDSM-5-TR and vice versa. Researchers should aim to determine under which circumstances criteria sets for PGD yield similar or distinct characteristics. Convergence of criteria sets for PGD remains an important goal for the future. Content overlap analyses showed moderate overlap between symptoms of PGD per DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 and between these diagnoses and prior criteria sets. We should establish when new criteria sets for PGD behave similarly or differently. Convergence of PGD criteria sets is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El duelo puede definirse como el conjunto de procesos psicológicos y psicosociales que siguen a la pérdida de un ser querido con el que la persona en duelo estaba psicológicamente vinculada, tratándose de una reacción comportamental y emocional causada por la ruptura del vínculo afectivo y manifestándose en forma de sufrimiento. El presente estudio pretende analizar cienciométricamente la producción científica de mayor impacto sobre el duelo y la pérdida en personas con discapacidad intelectual en las principales bases de datos de carácter multidisciplinar: Scopus y Web of Science (WoS). Para ello se delimitaron tres descriptores: “grief”, “bereavement” e “intellectual disability”. El procedimiento se realizó mediante una búsqueda combinada a tres, analizando la información en torno a ocho variables: publicaciones entre los años 2009-2019, número de registros en la producción científica desde los años 2009 a 2019, número de registros por tipología de documentos publicados, número de registros por títulos de las fuentes procedentes de la literatura científica de mayor impacto, número de registros por países, número de registros por instituciones, número de registros por autores y número de citas en artículos. Los resultados muestran que nos encontramos con un campo científico en vías de desarrollo. Es importante trabajar en investigaciones para conocer de manera detallada las características en el proceso de duelo, junto a una herramienta de uso profesional que ayude a determinar las necesidades de apoyo de las personas con discapacidad intelectual.

Resumen Esta investigación tiene por objetivo identificar las características sociodemográficas, causas de muerte, y distribución de las repatriaciones de restos realizadas desde los EUA al estado de Michoacán en México en los años 2005-2015, así como comprender el significado dado a la muerte y a la repatriación de los fallecidos por parte de sus familiares. Mediante un diseño mixto de investigación, se analizan los registros de michoacanos retornados con análisis descriptivos, y se retoma el testimonio de 3 familiares. Se identificó el retorno de 2950 cadaveres de migrantes fallecidos. En medio del dolor asociado con la muerte, el poder enterrar a su familiar, les ayuda a enfrentar la muerte como un hecho real que pueden constatar, mitigando con ello parte del sufrimiento de los dolientes.

The aim of this paper is to conduct an investigation around the existing bibliography on the grieving process through systemic family therapy, in order to study the weight that variables such as attachment or the family’s belief system. No two grieving processes are the same, nor two families experience this situation in the same way. Therefore, when it comes to therapeutically addressing the loss of a loved one, it is necessary to address their cultural differences, their characteristic belief system, and the possible dysfunctions that could pre-exist.

El presente artículo se propone problematizar dos pinturas del artista Yishai Jusidman a partir de los conceptos de síntoma y pérdida presentes en la obra de Georges Didi-Huberman. Las piezas en cuestión llevan por título Majdanek y Auschwitz, mismas que formaron parte de la exposición Azul de Prusia, llevada a cabo en el Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo de la UNAM (2016-2017). Mediante el análisis de ambas representaciones pictóricas se establecerá una reflexión respecto a lo no visible, como condición de posibilidad crítica capaz de situarnos en el intersticio entre lo sensible y lo inteligible. Asimismo el artículo se propone valorar el estatuto de la mirada a partir del concepto de memoria, en tanto facultad articuladora de tiempos heterogéneos, así como los conceptos de imagen velo e imagen desgarro para diferenciar entre aquellas que han sido pensadas según las necesidades de la historia y aquellas que nos incitan a pensar y producir otras imágenes.

bien no todos los factores que generan un duelo patológico pueden ser controlados, el cómo se da la noticia de la pérdida a la persona es un factor importante, y, por lo tanto, necesario a tener en cuenta. El comunicar malas noticias es una tarea frecuente en el ámbito médico, pudiendo tener un impacto negativo tanto en los pacientes como en sus familiares si no se realiza de una forma adecuada. A pesar de su importancia, en diversos estudios se ha documentado que los estudiantes de medicina y los médicos no han recibido un entrenamiento formal para poder dar malas noticias. En este contexto el presente artículo busca brindarles a los médicos y estudiantes de medicina algunos conceptos precisos sobre estos temas para que puedan aplicarlo a su práctica clínica.

Amparo Dávila es una figura fundamental de las letras mexicanas y su cuentística explora, a través de sus personajes femeninos, las crisis y los cambios en la vida de las mujeres mexicanas durante el siglo XX. En este artículo se analizaron tres cuentos: "Música concreta", "Griselda", y "El último verano", a partir de la metodología mitocrítica, desarrollada por el antropólogo francés Gilbert Durand, la cual tiene como propósito revelar algunos elementos como los símbolos, la unidades icónicas, las imágenes obsesivas, las secuencias mitémicas y los mitos presentes en textualidades culturales, como obras plásticas o literarias; ya que este horizonte crítico facilita exponer el tejido mítico-simbólico oculto en los cuentos elegidos, cuando los personajes, en la diégesis, padecen una pérdida, como la muerte de un esposo, el final de un matrimonio o un aborto; este quebranto en sus vidas conduce a que sufran una metamorfosis física, sea ésta, animal o vegetal como un modo de resistencia ante los papeles socialmente asignados a ellas; es decir, esposas y madres.

A significant increase in the number of individuals suffering from prolonged grief disorder is expected in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic for two main reasons. First, the number of excess deaths has contributed to an immense number of bereaved individuals. Second, recent literature has shown that circumstances associated with COVID-19 deaths may be contributing to increased risk for the development of prolonged grief disorder. To best support those affected by loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to inform clinicians and researchers about the development, the nature and the treatment of prolonged grief disorder and employ sound research. In this editorial, we discuss important themes regarding prolonged grief disorder in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, to gather and present useful information for clinicians and researchers. The following themes were addressed: 1. Harmonization in the diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder. 2. Screening tools and interventions. 3. Pharmacotherapy. 4. Special attention for the elderly. 5. Special attention for children and adolescents. 6. A causal system perspective for understanding grief and prolonged grief disorder. If those involved in bereavement research and care manage to collaborate, the tragic consequences of COVID-19 might catalyse improvement of care for those most impaired following the loss of a loved one. A significant increase in the number of individuals suffering from prolonged grief disorder is expected in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tragic consequences of COVID-19 might catalyse improvement of care for those most impaired following the loss of a loved one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alrededor de 815 millones de personas padecen de hambre en el mundo y de estos 39 millones de personas sufren de este problema en América Latina y el Caribe. Cerca de un tercio de los alimentos producidos en el mundo se pierden o son desperdiciados. Según la FAO, estas cifras van en aumento, dejando en evidencia que el cambio climático, las malas prácticas en la agricultura y el desperdicio de alimentos pone en peligro la seguridad y la soberanía alimentaria. Por eso, el objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la pérdida y desperdicio de alimentos (PDA) con respecto a la producción diaria de alimentos, para la identificación de estrategias que minimicen o solucionen el PDA en las sodas del Campus Omar Dengo. Se midió el desperdicio de alimentos en las distintas sodas del Campus Omar Dengo de la Universidad, con una metodología estandarizada establecida por la Red Costarricense para la Disminución de Pérdida y Desperdicio de Alimentos y la iniciativa de SAVE FOOD®. Se obtuvo diferencias significativas en los valores de PDA generados por las sodas. Características como el tipo de población y las buenas prácticas en la cocina causan menos desperdicios de alimentos. Se concluye que se debe trabajar con los usuarios de las sodas mediante campañas de concientización sobre el tema de desperdicios para disminuir los porcentajes tan altos presentados en el área de devolución en platos.

El sábado 8 de abril de 2017, en casa del poeta y sacerdote Hugo Mujica, se realizó esta entrevista de investigación con formato de diálogo socrático. Los contenidos de la misma sirven como fuente para el estudio que estoy realizando en torno a las poéticas del silencio y las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas dentro del Programa de Doctorado en Artes y Humanidades de la Universidad de Murcia, en la línea de Teología que desarrolla el Instituto Teológico de Murcia (OFM).

El objetivo de este trabajo se centra en detectar las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad intelectual durante el proceso de duelo con el fin de orientar las intervenciones y las prácticas profesionales orientadas a proporcionarles apoyos individualizados más adecuados a sus verdaderas necesidades. La muestra se compuso de 93 adultos con DI, con edades comprendidas entre los 21 y los 72 años (M = 49.9; DT = 11.79), que habían sufrido la pérdida de una persona significativa, y sobre los que han informado profesionales que trabajaban con ellos y los conocían bien, que cumplimentaron dos cuestionarios: el Cuestionario de Actitudes (SAQ) y el cuestionario Evaluación de las Necesidades tras la Pérdida (BNAT). Además de análisis descriptivos se llevaron a cabo análisis sobre el proceso de duelo en función de diversas variables (p. e., género, edad, nivel de discapacidad intelectual y nivel de dependencia). Las variables que resultaron más significativas fueron el nivel de discapacidad intelectual y el nivel de dependencia. Con el fin de proporcionar una mejor respuesta a sus necesidades se proponen recomendaciones sobre buenas prácticas, como facilitar la comprensión de la pérdida, ayudar a expresar sentimientos y emociones, atender cada caso de forma individual y fomentar una educación continua sobre la muerte.

Grief can be defined as the set of psychological and psychosocial processes that follow the loss of a loved one with whom the grieving person was psychologically linked, being a behavioral and emotional reaction caused by the breakdown of the emotional bond manifesting itself in a way of suffering. The present study intends to scientifically analyze the scientific production with the greatest impact on grief and bereavement of people with intellectual disabilities in the main multidisciplinary databases: Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), for this purpose three descriptors were delimited: "grief", "bereavement" and "intellectual disability". The procedure was carried out by means of a combined search by triplets, analyzing the information around eight variables: publications between the years 2009-2019, number of records in the scientific production from the years 2009 to 2019, number of records by type of documents published, number of records by titles of the sources from the scientific literature, number of records by countries, number of records by institutions, number of records by authors and number of citations in articles. The results show that we find a scientific field in development. It is important to work in research to know in detail the characteristics in the grieving process, together with a professional use tool that helps determine the support needs of people with intellectual disabilities.

The so-called 'crisis in masculinity' in the post-industrial/post-feminist world is not a new idea but in recent years it does seem to have forced its way back onto the agenda due to a lack of traditional employment, such as coal mining, thus robbing generations of men of their cultural identities. This collective 'crisis' has emerged through media attention on a succession of well-known men in the arts and sports worlds such as Bruce Springsteen, Stormzy, Professor Green and Rio Ferdinand, who share in common a strong sense of masculine identification. In addition, all have openly discussed the healing and relief experienced by embracing the vulnerable, emotional aspects of themselves, or what has been historically characterized as the anima archetype in Jungian psychology. This essay will recount some of their stories of struggle as they have bravely spoken up about their mental health issues, perhaps diminishing, by example, the erroneous notion of depression as a 'woman's problem'. As noted, in recent times we have witnessed a proliferation of famous men speaking out about their emotional difficulties, often in the context of loss and depression, thus providing potential role-modelling for a more expanded view of contemporary masculinity. This paper attempts to consider the tendency amongst a particular type of modern man who is both traditionally macho and simultaneously emotionally articulate with the capacity to open up about the experiences of their inner worlds and the environmental pressures they face in a fast-paced and ever-changing world. Beginning with some brief stories about the men listed above, the primary focus will be on the work of the UK cross-dressing artist and Turner Prize winner (2003) Grayson Perry (b. 1960), by studying his unusual and highly creative clarion call to challenge modern men to recalibrate their emotional behaviour and to speak openly about loss and emotional difficulty. As readers will see, he has developed a unique method that includes filmed, televised interactional interviews with various individuals and groups and he then produces art pieces that embody what has transpired through his engagement with their suffering and real-life dilemmas. This highly creative process offers a double or even triple containment for those struggling with all-too-human pain via the holding interview with him directly; the artwork that he creates as a result; and then through the recording on film that is shared with television audiences who are deeply affected by what they witness and who perhaps find a form of healing via identification.

Objective: The study aimed to explore the content and features of loss-related memories in a sample of individuals bereaved by cancer with and without a probable diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder/persistent complex bereavement disorder (PGD/PCBD). Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 28 bereaved adults (PGD/PCBD = 12, NoPGD/PCBD = 16) were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Three superordinate themes were identified: (1) intrusive imagery, (2) qualities of memory, and (3) triggers. Results showed that individuals suffering from probable PGD/PCBD reported a predominance of negative and upsetting memories, happy memories triggering pain and more negative intrusive imagery than those without PGD/PCBD. Conclusions: Bereavement by cancer can result in troubling intrusive memories that overshadow positive memories. Sufferers of PGD/PCBD are more likely to experience loss-related memories as negative and upsetting. Clinical approaches that utilise memory processing may be of particular relevance in this group.

Background: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) will be newly included in the ICD-11, while a clinically similar diagnosis, persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD), has already been added to the DSM-5. Only few studies have evaluated these criteria-sets for prolonged grief. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ICD-11 accessory symptom threshold and compare the diagnostic performance of the two criteria-sets in treatment-seeking bereaved persons. Method: 113 grief treatment-seeking bereaved persons completed the Interview for Prolonged Grief-13. We used receiver operator characteristic analysis to determine an optimum ICD-11 accessory symptom threshold. We calculated diagnostic rates for PGD and PCBD and examined associations of PGD and PCBD caseness with concurrently assessed psychopathology and prolonged grief symptoms assessed one month later. Results: An ICD-11 threshold of six accessory symptoms distinguished optimally between interview-diagnosed participants with and without prolonged grief. The prevalence of PGD (69%) was significantly higher than that of PCBD (48%) and of PGD with a 6-symptom threshold (47%). PGD caseness was associated with the relation to the deceased, 6-symptom threshold PGD and PCBD caseness with the time since loss. All criteria-sets were linked to concurrent prolonged grief, depression, and general mental distress. PCBD and 6-symptom threshold PGD but not PGD were associated with prolonged grief severity one month later. Conclusions: The results support the validity of PGD and PCBD but, at the same time, they provide further support for differing prevalence rates. Using an empirically determined ICD-11 accessory symptom threshold could prevent the pathologisation of grief reactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article responds to the critical debate around Jennifer Kent's horror movie, The Babadook (2014), by offering an analysis that moves beyond its use of generic codes and its sociopolitical representation of maternity. It contends that reading the film as a trauma narrative allows us to better understand the horrifying experience suffered by Amelia Vanek (Essie Davis): her husband's premature death in a car accident. Taking Dominick LaCapra's concepts of acting out and working through as key interpretive tools, the analysis demonstrates how Kent conveys posttraumatic stress disorder as both a visceral and a material experience, inscribing absence and loss onto the cinematic texture of the film. The article offers the conclusion that, as The Babadook enacts Amelia's process of recuperation, figured as a psychosomatic struggle against her monstrous Other, she becomes able to express her trauma and, in doing so, is finally able to accept her husband's death.
