Los padres también se deprimen en el postparto: comprendiendo el fenómeno desde la voz de sus protagonistas

Las investigaciones internacionales muestran una prevalencia de un 10.4% de depresion postparto paterna en la poblacion general. En Chile el fenomeno no ha sido estudiado, por lo que nos propusimos explorar la presencia de sintomatologia depresiva en padres chilenos durante el postparto, asi como la particularidad de este fenomeno desde la subjetividad de los afectados. En este estudio exploratorio, transversal y cualitativo, se le realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a un subgrupo de padres que se situaron sobre el puntaje de corte de la Escala de Depresion Postparto de Edimburgo y/o el Inventario de Depresion de Beck, indagando en sus significados de paternidad y depresion. Entre los resultados destaca la no planificacion del embarazo en todos los participantes, asi como una paternidad asociada al rol proveedor. El concepto de depresion se asocia a sus manifestaciones mas extremas. Si bien los padres presentan malestar subjetivo, no lo identifican como sintomatologia depresiva, limitandose asi la consulta espontanea y oportuna.

Optimal Multi-criteria Selection of Hybrid Energy Systems for Off-grid Electrification

Energy poverty or lack of access to electricity is still a pressing development challenge worldwide particularly in archipelagic countries like the Philippines and Indonesia. As rural electrification in these remote areas through on-grid extension becomes costly, these communities typically resort to diesel-powered off-grid generators, characterized by high operating costs, unstable supply and price of fuel, and environmental issues. The deployment of clean energy alternatives is clearly needed, but these must be selected systematically using multiple but possibly conflicting criteria. Currently, the decision on which technology to use is derived based on the levelized cost of electricity primarily. In this illustrative case study, a novel multi-criteria decision-making methodology is proposed for the selection of the most appropriate energy system for the off-grid electrification of Marinduque Island. Eight technology combination options were evaluated using six criteria covering socio-economic, environmental, and technical aspects. Fuzzy AHP was used to derive weights of the criteria while addressing ambiguity and subjectivity of decision-makers. Performances of the technology options across different criteria were determined quantitatively via techno-economic simulations, or qualitatively via domain expert estimates. Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was then used to aggregate the entire range of performance attributes of each alternative into a single score. Results indicate that system reliability and social acceptability are the most important criteria in selecting hybrid energy systems for off-grid electrification. Among the eight alternatives, the fuel saver (diesel-solar PV hybrid) and diesel-solar PV-Li-ion hybrid systems yield the highest performance scores. The prioritization was mainly affected by system reliability and social acceptability, indicating that decision making for the attainment of sustainable island energy supply should not be limited to technical and economic considerations only. This is consistent with the current worldwide trend of implementing the diesel-solar PV-Li-ion hybrid systems in off-grid areas, thus, validating the applicability of the facile methodology developed in this work.

Pensando el enigma de la subjetividad a través de la diversidad.

En el presente artículo se desarrolla una exploración bibliográfica que tiene como objetivo, analizar cómo el enigma de la subjetividad puede pensarse y reflexionarse desde un marco de atención a la diversidad, en donde lo que se pretende salvaguardar, en aras de reducir procesos de exclusión y discriminación, es el reconocimiento por el otro como ser singular. ¿Qué es lo que se trasluce, en la praxis educativa cuando los esfuerzos se dirigen a brindar una atención diversificada y a reconocer la individualidad de los estudiantes? Al ser la diversidad un constructo multifacético, ésta debe dirigir su mirada al plano intersubjetivo de la naturaleza humana y su esencia merece ser abordada desde un andamiaje interdisciplinario, cuyo basamento sea representado por la filosofía, el psicoanálisis y las ciencias sociales. Se abre así, un escenario que interpela por la historia y constitución subjetiva del corpus docente y del estudiantado en general, destacando la función social que tiene la escuela, no como gestora de conocimientos sino como productora de subjetividades. Resignificar la experiencia docente/alumno en estos tiempos de globalización y consumismo, habrá de convertirse en un tema capital que invita a reflexionar sobre el vínculo que se ha ido soldando entre el quehacer educativo y acto psicoanalítico, de tal manera que resulta imprescindible dentro del campo investigativo, preponderar la dinámica de la transferencia y privilegiar el deseo de ambos sujetos.

Principlism, Pragmatism, or Reconstructionist Confucianism? —Some Comments on Ni Peimin’s English Translation of the Analects

This essay provides a few critical points of view on Ni Peimin’s recent English translation of the Analects . It shows that his translations of ren into “human-heartedness” and of li into “ritual propriety” may indicate a willingness to recast these Confucian concepts in the modern ideology of western subjectivism or individualism, whereas Confucianism is not in the direction of such ideologies. Moreover, while Ni seems to offer a “no-rule” view of Confucian virtue ethics, he cannot deny the existence of moral rules and principles in the Confucian system. It is insufficient for him to emphasize the importance of Confucian “instructions” or “methods” as he does without explicating their relations to Confucian rules. Additionally, Ni’s gongfu Confucianism provides a necessary and healthy step back from the contemporary principlism that has been dominant and popular in contemporary politics, ethics, and applied ethics, but Ni goes too far in denying the importance of the moral rules and principles that are implicit or explicit in the Confucian ritual practices and upheld in Confucius’s Analects .

Militando a Francisco. Territorio, compromisos y orientación institucional del activismo político y religioso en la Argentina contemporánea

Objetivos: comprender las características del activismo de grupos que se ubican en la intersección entre la política y la religión en Argentina en la segunda década del siglo XXI.
 Metodología: estudio cualitativo basado en la etnografía, la entrevista y el análisis de documentos. Los datos fueron construidos a partir del análisis de los textos registrados en diarios de campo, fotografías y la transcripción de los textos de las entrevistas. Para el análisis se recurrió a matrices por tipo de registro (diarios de campo, entrevistas, publicaciones y folletos) para luego trabajar con matrices integradoras.
 Resultados: se evidenciaron tres características principales que definen las militancias político-religiosas en Argentina: la centralidad del territorio como espacio de desarrollo del trabajo militante, el compromiso militante como una actividad integral que se desarrolla en toda la vida y la orientación del trabajo ilitante hacia las instituciones –Estado e Iglesia– como un espacio más de despliegue del proyecto político-religioso.
 Conclusiones: se concluye la composición circular de la identidad en la acción colectiva en diálogo con las instituciones clásicas (el partido, la Iglesia y el Estado), la notoria intensidad en el hacer que remarca la militancia como subjetividad pública y la importancia de las coyunturas para la reformulación de las definiciones comunitarias, a partir de las potencialidades y los límites que imponen los pasos hacia instancias de resistencia.

The value of magnetic resonance imaging of the mandibular nerve using a micro surface coil and three-dimensional double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence

Objective To explore the value of small surface coil combined with three-dimensional double-echo steady-state with water excitation (3D-DESS-WE) sequence in displaying mandibular nerves and their branches. Methods The maxillofacial regions of 52 volunteers were scanned unilaterally by a small surface coil combined with 3D-DESS-WE sequence. According to the Gray's anatomy atlas, MPR and CPR was done according to the anatomic position of mandibular nerve and the branches, the signal characteristics of the nerves and neighboring structures were analyzed. The displaying rate of the mandibular nerves and their branches were evaluated.The image quality and display of the nerve were subjectively scored. The signal intensity(SI) of the nerve and adjacent lateral pterygoid muscle were measured. The signal intensity ratio(SIR) of mandibular nerve/lateral pterygoid muscle (SIRN/M) was calculated. Results Compared with the muscles, the nerve showed iso-signal intensity. The subjective scores for all small coil 3D-DESS-WE images were 3.02±0.82. The displaying rates of V3 trunk, anterior trunk, buccal nerve, posterior trunk, inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve were all 100%. V3 posterior trunk, inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve showed the best quality scores, which were all about 3 points, and the SIRN/M were about 1. The auricular temporal nerve and masseter muscle nerve were also basically satisfied. The displaying rate of mylohyoid muscle nerve, medial pterygoid nerve and lateral pterygoid nerve was low. Conclusion Small surface coil combine with 3D-DESS-WE sequence performed high-quality in mandibular nerves and their branches MR imaging using MPR, CPR post-processing technology, which are suitable for clinical application. Key words: Mandibular nerve; Magnetic resonance imaging; Small surface coil

Legado freireano, feminismos e prostituição: desvelando o político-pedagógico na pesquisa em educação

Neste artigo, discorro sobre as dimensoes politica e pedagogica do fazer pesquisa em educacao, lancando mao de aportes do legado freireano, dos estudos feministas e de reflexoes gestadas em experiencias de pesquisa desenvolvidas em dialogo com mulheres prostitutas. Ciente das tensoes entre esses campos do conhecimento, teco conexoes entre eles argumentando que essa aproximacao revela-se fecunda no sentido de favorecer a superacao da antinomia: conhecimentos populares x conhecimento cientifico, (inter)subjetividade x objetividade, e de questionar sistemas universalizantes que caracterizam a ciencia moderna, bem como algumas perspectivas feministas. Defendo, ainda, que o dialogo entre as contribuicoes do legado freireano e dos estudos feministas corrobora a construcao de uma ciencia critica e popular pautada no desenvolvimento de pesquisas problematizadoras capazes de visibilizar a multiplicidade de experiencias, saberes e demandas de mulheres prostitutas. Palavras-chave: intersubjetividade, dialogo, feminismos, prostituicao.
