espanolLa profesionalizacion de la Gestion Cultural en Mexico ha avanzado en las ultimas dos decadas y se ha logrado debido al interes de las instituciones universitarias tanto publicas como privadas. En el sureste de Mexico, la universidad publica de Tabasco fue una de las pioneras en el pais en la oferta de la licenciatura en Desarrollo Cultural en el 2007, la cual se reestructuro en 2017 con el nombre de Gestion y Promocion de la Cultura. De ahi se deriva este estudio el cual tiene como actores sociales a los estudiantes que conforman las primeras generaciones de esta nueva oferta universitaria en modalidad presencial escolarizada. En este articulo se identifi can las representaciones sociales de los estudiantes respecto a su disciplina, las cuales tienen como nucleo central, la preocupacion por el distanciamiento de la sociedad con la cultura, lo cual, dicen, repercutira en su insercion al campo laboral EnglishThis research aims to identify the social representations of students in Management and Promotion of Culture at a public university in Tabasco at southeastern Mexico. It was analyzed using the theory of social representations. The methodology used was quantitative using the survey as the data collection technique. Regarding the social actors under study, we worked with the fi nite population, through the non-probabilistic technique. The social representations of the students of the fi rst generations of said degree have as a central nucleus, the concern for the current distancing of society with culture, so they consider that their professional duty is to create a link through projects of Intervention projects that manage to change these perceptions of the people of their entity, which is a challenge they acquire as students of cultural management, and very soon as graduates. The limitations of the research are derived in terms of the number of population with which it was worked, which was the one belonging to a public university, remaining outside those dependent on government institutions that are focused on artistic creation. The lines through which this research work can be extended is the follow-up of the fi rst generations of graduates and their insertion into the labor fi eld

Emergency preparedness of oral health professionals during COVID-19 pandemic: A knowledge, attitude, and practices study

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus and was first reported in Wuhan, China. Affecting almost 207 countries, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020.[1] Considering social distancing as first-line measure of reducing the transmission of disease, nationwide lockdown in India was announced. Health-care professionals and first responders are considered to be high-risk groups for the transmission of the virus. As oral health professionals form, a significant risk group for infection and need to take all transmission-based precautions to prevent the transmission of the disease. Keeping that in view, various advisories were also issued to provide interim guidance to the dental practitioners during this pandemic. This study was designed to have an insight into problems and deficiencies faced by the dental fraternity in the practical application of their knowledge in today's changing scenario. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dentists across North India during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: Dental practitioners across North India were requested to take part in the online survey. Survey forms were sent in the form of Google document. Four hundred and ten survey questionnaires were sent to dental practitioners in the northern Indian region. Three hundred and thirty responses were received with response rate equivalent to 80.4%. Statistics were applied to analyze the responses. Conclusion: Dentists across North India are well informed and aware of the changing scenarios during COVID-19 Pandemic. They seemed to be optimistic and trying to keep themselves abreast of the latest guidelines and providing emergency dental care in the best possible way with an intent to serve their community.

Challenges in the management of corona virus in pregnancy in low resource countries

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a potentially lethal infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome. Pregnancy is a state of partial immune suppression, which makes pregnant women more vulnerable to viral infections. COVID-19 pandemic presents many challenges in when it coexists with pregnancy in resource-poor countries with background ignorance and deficient health infrastructure. Materials and Methods: A literature search for studies on COVID-19 was performed using Google Scholar search database, PubMed, Medline, and ScienceDirect. The bibliographies of included studies were also searched for additional references. About 85 articles were identified. Twenty-five articles were considered suitable for review. Results: An extensive review of management of COVID-19 in pregnancy and challenges confronting its management in resource-poor countries was presented. These challenges included poor health infrastructure, poor testing capacity, and nonadherence or impracticable preventive measures including physical distancing, hand hygiene, inadequate personal protective equipment, and stigmatization. Specific challenges related to pregnancy were availability of blood and blood products, labor management, operative deliveries, and postdelivery management. Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that its pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and management are influenced by pregnancy. The outcomes of pregnancy and COVID-19 are negatively influenced by similar problems of ignorance, poverty, and deficient health infrastructure. COVID-19, therefore, has the potential for worsening maternal mortality in low-resource nations.

Endodontic and dental practice during COVID-19 pandemic: Position statement from the Indian Endodontic Society, Indian Dental Association, and International Federation of Endodontic Associations

The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic poses an immense global health challenge. As dental care providers, we are faced with significant responsibilities both to the dental team and our patients to limit exposure to the virus. Due to the nature of our work, the team are at a high risk of contracting the virus and potentially transmitting the virus. One of the prime modes of containing this pandemic is in enforcing effective social distancing. However, as dental care providers, we face the twin challenge of protecting ourselves and our patients from community transmission and at the same time ensuring patients continue to have access to urgent/emergency dental care. This position statement is for the benefit of endodontists and dentists and provides an objective method of streamlining their dental practices based on need and evidence-based disease containment protocols.

Recreational therapy during a pandemic: Embracing telehealth

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world froze. Simultaneously, there has been a vast growth of online conferences and the increased need for telehealth. The entire nation has struggled with feelings of uncertainty and fear mixed with moments of positivity. At the same time, older adults and people of any age who have underlying health conditions are faced with information from local, national, and international news and health organizations that their lives were at risk. Then, new terms emerged and became part of our daily vocabulary. Stay home. Social distancing. Shelter in place. Essential items. Curbside pick-up. Pandemic. It appears that these words will become part of our everyday vocabulary, forever etched in history books, engrained in our hearts, and the mindset of generations to come.

Екопрагматичний вимір стратегій ввічливості у сучасних дискурсивних дослідженнях

. The article explores eco-pragmatic strategies of politeness, conditioned on the one hand by the maxims of successful cooperation , developed by H. P. Gr i ce , which regulate formal components of the message ; and, o n the other hand, by the principle of politeness ( by G . Le e ch), which considers the moral and ethical component of the message. Ecopragmatic strategies are defined as strategies aimed at harmonizing relationships between individuals and all subject s from environment . The study has highlighted and analyzed eco-pragmatic strategies of tact, generosity, approval, modesty, consent and sympathy aimed at creating comfortable conditions of communication, minimizing inconvenience and communicative dominance; positive attitude and prais ing others; objective self-esteem; avoidance of conflict situations and so on. Scientific research of effective communication, where the principles of politeness have gained particular weight, has given impetus to the development by Penelope Brown and Steven Levinson in 1987 the theory of politeness. The main thesis of this theory is the statement that politeness is one of the basic needs of the individual, which is realized through appropriate strategies, the choice of which is determined by the threat of losing the “face”. Polite communicative behavior involves saving the interlocutors’ “face” through softening or avoidance of “face threatening” acts. Taking into account further research of the politeness theory by P. Brown and S. Levinson as well as their followers ’, R. and S. S c o l lon , eco-pragmatic strategies of involvement and distanc ing (or independence) were also defined. Involvement strategies are implemented through: addressing the listener by name; exaggeration of interest, approval, sympathy, etc.); inclusive attributes of belonging to a common group; expressing a common point of view; optimistic attitude ; a hint or demonstration of reciprocity. Distancing is manifested by such discursive means as using minimum assumptions, providing the choice to the hearer , addressing by name and patronymic, apologizing, keeping silence, using common language or dialect, and so on.

Creating Learning Opportunities by Using Videoconferencing in Surgical Education.

Access to mentors for education in surgical subspecialties is a challenge in many hospitals. Videoconferencing (VC) provides real-time communication between mentors and mentees despite dispersed geographical locations. In Norway, an educational pathway of a specific laparoscopic surgical procedure was carried out using VC. The surgical training lasted for three months and was video recorded. The dataset covers the educational procedure, constituting of a trajectory of eight patient cases. During a model of stepwise distancing of the physical presence of the mentor, the collaborative work using VC leads the mentee to become an expert. VC is a tool for both collaboration and representation, as the picture on the VC offers the same information to both the mentor and the mentee. The communication is characterized by guidance and explanations of why specific actions are necessary for problem-solving. The use of VC was a presumption for becoming an expert in this procedure.

Violenza e repressione autoritaria: l’impossibile emancipazione del corpo nella Nouvelle Héloïse

The article investigates the representation of physical violence in Rousseau’s La Nouvelle Heloise . Despite his explicit declaration of writing a novel in which “bad people” as well as “bad actions” would not enter fiction, the writer seems finally to reintegrate authoritarian figures and scenes of violence in the plot. Rousseau conceals the despotic and worrying aspects of the paternal character while trying to underline the harmonic sentiments between father and daughter in Letter LXIII, 1. Julie seems incapable of distancing herself from paternal authority and male control that lies on her body and at the same time the author fails in representing his character’s evolution without guiding her choices through external events.

Critical Discourse Analysis and the Editorial 2.0: News Reception and User-generated Comments in Discourses about (Im)migration

In most traditional accounts of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) text and discourse are viewed as being the product of a one-directional flow of information from a handful of dominant (and powerful) text producers to an seemingly subordinate mass of readers who passively consume texts. To this end, CDA proclaims an interest in both production and reception factors as they are reflected in social practices (Fetzer & Johansson, 2008). Yet, in the CDA literature actual empirical data focusing on reception factors have often been lacking and/or have been limited to the researcher’s personal reading of a text. With the advent and spread of converged media platforms (Herring, 2013) and the new discourse practices this entails such factors need to be reconsidered and the more prominent role played by users in both reception and (co-)construction of texts embraced (Boyd, 2014). This work focuses on the importance of user-generated content in user comments written in response to online newspaper editorials and proposes that such commenting practices not only change media discourse and social practice but also, ultimately, may upend the traditional flow of media discourse, transforming it from a primarily top-down, one-to-many model to a more interactive and participatory model that fosters many-to-many participation schemes (KhosraviNik & Zia, 2014). In traditional print newspapers text consumers had few opportunities to respond directly to a topic they felt strongly about if not in the form of a “letter to the editor” which was not guaranteed publication. Furthermore, editorials, as the official mouthpiece of a news organisation, were seen as playing a predominant role in evaluating issues, forming public opinion and eliciting reader support and agreement (Henry & Tator, 2002; Moon, 1994; Van Dijk, 1991). Today, most online newspapers allow users to comment on both news reports and opinion articles, including editorials, in which they can react to as well as interact with media texts. Such social interaction gives the (CDA) researcher access to valuable user-generated content which can help to gauge, in part, the degree to which such media texts as editorials still have in forming and swaying public opinion. By focusing on reader comments in a limited set of editorials (dealing with the European migrant crisis), this study attempts to determine readers’ varying opinions about the issue and how this reflects and/or diverges from the view(s) presented by the editorial. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the empirical data (the editorials and reader comments) aim to demonstrate the various representations of society inherent in online newspaper discourse. In particular, the analysis focuses on the linguistic means adopted by text producers to align themselves with (proximization) or differentiate themselves from (distancing) from the views presented in the editorial. Thus, the work is interested in the ways in which powerful public discourses are received by the general public through the interactive feature of text commenting available on many media platforms. Text commenting, in turn, is seen as crucial to understanding how certain texts are received and transformed by different types of (social) media users in the online newspaper.

Efectos de cambios regulatorios sobre el desempeño del pool eléctrico español entre 2004 y 2006

Este trabajo examina la relación entre el Gap del precio marginal del sistema y otras variables típicas del mercado, organización industrial y cambios regulatorios en el pool eléctrico español. Se estima un modelo de panel de datos largo, en el cual la dimensión temporal es mayor al número de empresas consideradas. Los resultados indican que tanto la alta concentración del mercado como la posibilidad de que las empresas más grandes sean pivotes generaron distorsiones sobre la determinación del precio. Además, los cambiosregulatorios implementados por las autoridades no indujeron los efectos esperados, lo que crea distorsión e incentivos incorrectos en este mercado.

Inhabiting the Classic, Constructing the Self: Translated and Translating Voices in Josephine Balmer’s Poetry

Creative translation and versioning of classical material is arguably a significant aspect of 20 th -century poetry and continues to represent a driving force in 21 st -century poetic production. A field reclaimed by classical scholars, translators and poets, this phenomenon has often provided the artists themselves with a rich ground for reflecting on their own poetical voice. The recontextualization of the classic in new poetry by means of creative translation will be explored through examples from the British poet Jospehine Balmer (b. 1959); like one of her Modernist models, Ezra Pound, Balmer has consistently absorbed classical translation into her own works, often blurring the boundaries between creative translation and original. Her trans-creative poetry raises the question about the use of the classical voice as a space to be both inscribed with personal experiences and employed as a distancing filter from the self. In her collection Chasing Catullus (2004) Balmer moves in and out of her autobiography by self-consciously “overwriting” her own memories through classical versioning. The Word for Sorrow (2009) approaches the themes of displacement and loss through the prism of Ovid’s exilic persona , combining the ancient poet’s voice with that of a British soldier who fought at Gallipoli and the self-conscious voice of the poet-translator. By borrowing Salman Rushdie’s metaphor of the migrant as a “translated man”, my contribution will also address translation as a trope of the writing self in Balmer’s hybrid works.

Characteristics to making street side walk. Case Study for Enghelab Street (Between Vali-e ASR and Razi Street)

Abstract. Walking has always been one of the most important and fundamental needs of human beings. Nowadays, whit the increase in population in urban areas, less attention is paid to walking. Pedestrians and Pedestrian-walks are no longer prioritized as before in urban spaces and the quality of them has been decreased. According one of the main future predicaments is distancing urban spaces from human values and their needs, in a way that lack of quality in Pedestrian walks has contributed to less social roles of the citizens. What they call for, in a way that lack of quality in Pedestrian walks has contributed to less social roles of the citizens. One of the other hand, people requirement for having quite places away from the hustle and bustle of the humans city and cars, and holding the culture, art and their background have become more valuable. In the capital city of Tehran, due to the large population and traffic and their need for traveling in motor ways and streets rather than pavements, the separation gap between the humans and the human city has been intensified. This study the necessity of considers, transformation, conversion of a part of the pavement in “Enghelab” street to Pedestrian- walk and sidewalks with a view to the descriptive- modulation and content – analysis and the collection of information from relevant books and internet research. Besides, qualitative approach such as observation, place- visit, compatibility of regulations, conducting surveys and reasoning analysis have been taken in to consideration. In order to improve the current situation of the pass-way in the northern part of the city- theatre .

The girl least likely – A linguistically informed media case review

The author, a psychiatrist, sets out to review a television documentary about youth suicide with a linguistic sensitivity. Three main themes were identified. Firstly the documentary uses much linguistic resources to present depression as a potentially fatal medical disease. Secondly psychosocial factors such as the carer role and society’s performance driven attitude were undermined. Thirdly the issues of shame and interpersonal distancing (referred to as the sense of alienation) are discussed and linked to the biogenetic view of mental illness. The author concludes by advocating the need to foster mentalization and dialogues in mental health promotion which are inherently embedded in the language used.

Psychoanalyse des Stinkens. Freuds Erzählung von Genese und Funktion des Ekels

The evolution of the upright walk is widely considered to be of decisive significance for the evolution of the human being. Freuds gives a highly original reading of this key feature. He emphasizes the distancing of the nose from the organs of sexual secretions and excrement and understands the defensive mechanism of disgust as the organon of turning the archaic pleasures related to the olfactory secretions into unpleasurable sensations. As an antidote to the evolution of morals – which subscribes to the elevation of the nose and pushes the human being in the direction of ‘higher’ values – Freud stresses the inescapability of the abject pleasures and ascribes to art a highly specific capacity to pleasurably address what is otherwise rejected as disgusting.
