Poiética de la lengua y democracia epistémica en prácticas poéticas de la escritura en Sudamérica
Get PDFCertain kind of sudamerican poetic thinking reveal that poetic practices can be carried out by anyone without technique, which for us shows a democratic power. Firstly, we will distinguish poetic practices from artistic practices through an affective ethical element to describe said process of sign assembly according to our poietic model of what is given to feel that links the concepts of ethos and poiesis in a hospitable ethological composition activity, that would respond to the law of the spinozian conatus, generating what we call the affective matrix, where the affective capacity of the poietic activity of language applied in its maintenance reveals its potential for epistemic configuration and ways of living. We will show that it is possible to find examples that fit this model in chilean poetics and we will show three examples of latinamerican poetic writing practices that problematize meanings in their sensitive and significant duality, exceeding philosophical language. Which will allow us to show what we want to announce with the concept of epistemic democracy. Finally, based on the problem of the privilege of philosophical language that Jacques Derrida exposes in the text Privilege or the Right to Philosophy (2023), we want to show the possibility of this practice of language as an activity of thought that is directed to and exceeds philosophy.Algunas formas del pensamiento poético sudamericano revelan que las prácticas poéticas pueden realizarse por cualquiera sin técnica, lo que para nosotros muestra una potencia democrática. En primer lugar, distinguiremos las prácticas poéticas de las prácticas artísticas a través de un elemento ético afectivo para describir dicho proceso de montaje sígnico según nuestro modelo poiético de lo dado a sentir que vincula los conceptos de ethos y poiesis en una actividad de composición etológica hospitalaria que respondería a la ley del conatus spinoziano, generando lo que denominamos matriz afectiva, donde la capacidad afectiva de la actividad poiética de la lengua aplicada en su mantención revela su potencial de configuración epistémica y formas de vivir. Mostraremos que es posible encontrar ejemplos que se acoplan a este modelo en poéticas chilenas y mostraremos tres ejemplos de prácticas poéticas latinoamericanas de la escritura que problematizan sentidos en su dualidad sensible y significante, excediendo la lengua filosófica. Lo que nos permitirá mostrar lo que queremos anunciar con el concepto de democracia epistémica. Finalmente, a partir del problema del privilegio de la lengua filosófica que expone Jacques Derrida en el texto Privilegio o del Derecho a la Filosofía (2023), queremos mostrar la posibilidad de esta práctica de la lengua como actividad del pensamiento que se dirige a y excede la filosofía
Overview of garlic waste management, circular economy and upcycling
Get PDFIn the last three years, 2 billion tonnes of untreated and dismissed agricultural wastes have been accumulated without adequate management of reuse or final disposal, resulting in dumping or burning. The circular economy concept has gained increasing global recognition for addressing environmental and economic challenges. Garlic, the second most common bulb vegetable cultivated worldwide, generates significant waste during its industrial processing, including husks, stalks, straws, and leaves. These wastes, representing 3.0 to 3.7 million tonnes of residual biomass per year, are currently underutilised, with the usual treatment involving dumping in landfills or direct burning, leading to increased soil and air pollution. In this review, we aim to encourage innovation by presenting a search for state-of-the-art garlic waste management. We identified studies about garlic residual biomass valorisation as raw material for obtaining different extracts and polymers, even energy or biofuels. Finally, following circular economy principles, we propose potential uses for garlic by-products to be repurposed or upcycled as materials within agricultural or other production chains. The information above reveals an increasing demand and interest in garlic waste valorisation. Future studies are needed to exploit garlic by-products as important sources of biopolymers and phytochemicals.
Highlights:
Garlic Waste Generation: Garlic production generates 3.0 to 3.7 million tonnes of residual biomass annually, including husks, stalks, and leaves.
Current Disposal Methods: Garlic by-products are often disposed of through landfilling or burning, causing environmental pollution and resource loss.
Valorisation Potential: Garlic residual biomass can be valorised into bioactive compounds, biopolymers, biofuels, and other sustainable materials.
Circular Economy Approach: By-products from garlic can be integrated into circular economy models for use in agricultural and industrial production.
Future Research Directions: Further research is needed to optimize garlic by-products for biopolymer and phytochemical production, enhancing sustainability.In the last three years, 2 billion tonnes of untreated and dismissed agricultural wastes have been accumulated without adequate management of reuse or final disposal, resulting in dumping or burning.

Remaining in rural areas: towards a rural entrepreneur’s analysis framework
Get PDFThis research employs an empirical approach to understand aspects defining why young people remain in their rural territories. Utilising a rural region of Caldas, Colombia as a case study and based on an agricultural education program for entrepreneurship, information from 368 rural young people was obtained. The study explored a conceptual model shaped by four dimensions and 34 variables. Using a Probit method, we identify significant variables regarding permanence in rural areas. We identify 11 key variables that determine the categories of socio-demographic profile, profile of entrepreneur characteristics, and category of motivations and territory. Our study contributes to literature on rural entrepreneurship from an empirical approach. Additionally, we propose a new analytical framework to address major problems in agriculture and rural territories, particularly in developing countries, such as Latin America.
Highlights:
This paper proposes an analysis model of the rural entrepreneur, which seeks to understand the aspects that determine the interest of rural young people wanting to stay within their own rural territories.
The categories and variables determining the permanence of rural youth in their territory based on entrepreneurship can be divided into an internal environment such as the dimensions of the profile and skills for entrepreneurship, as well as an external environment based on what determines the territory as a motivational factor.
The model shows the relevance of the interrelation of dimensions and environments, as even when rural young people have entrepreneurial skills, there are other aspects that promote permanence in the territories.This research employs an empirical approach to understand aspects defining why young people remain in their rural territories.

Preventive and curative effects of native yeasts on different Botrytis cinerea strains in “Superior Seedless” (Vitis vinifera L.) table grape cultured in Argentina
Get PDFThe fermenting grape must is a dynamic, stressful, and selective habitat where many yeast species compete. Specific yeasts isolated from this habitat can play a fundamental role in table grape biocontrol of fungal diseases. The present study evaluated 225 grapevine yeasts against four Botrytis cinerea strains isolated from “Superior Seedless” grapes, considering the possible antifungal action mechanisms. Eighteen enological yeasts (13 Saccharomyces and 5 non- Saccharomyces) showed preventive antifungal activity against the four native B. cinerea strains, with disease severity varying between 0 and 49.91%. These 18 strains also presented curative activity against at least one of the B. cinerea strains assayed (severity values between 0 and 45.99%). Considering action mechanisms, thirteen yeast strains inhibited mycelial growth of at least one B. cinerea strain during dual plating (antibiosis), “killer” activity, and volatile antifungal assays. Our results showed that 7 yeast strains affected conidial germination (CG) and germinal tube length (GTL) of at least one B. cinerea isolate. Two yeast strains occupied the same niche as 4 B. cinerea strains (NOI values > 0.90). All yeast strains exhibited at least two inhibitory action mechanisms against gray rot, except for BSc140 with one mechanism. The possibility of more than one mechanism per yeast strain makes biocontrol an effective tool to prevent and cure gray rot in table grapes.

Acceptability of bonbons made with camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia L)
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate different formulations of camu-camu bonbons, verifying which formulations obtained greater acceptability and maintenance of their nutraceutical potential. The bonbons were made of 2 chocolate-based toppings (white chocolate and milk chocolate), with three types of camu-camu-based fillings (candy, candy + jelly and candy + syrup). A sensory analysis was performed using a questionnaire and a hedonic scale ranging from 9 to 1 to evaluate appearance, colour, taste and texture. The hedonic scale used to assess purchase intentions ranged from 5 to 1. The physicochemical characteristics and bioactive compounds of the bonbons were evaluated. Bonbons had excellent acceptability rates, where consumers would definitely buy bonbons: white chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy+camu-camu syrup (F3) and milk chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy (F4). Consumers would ‘probably buy’ white chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy (F1) based on its texture and high levels of vitamin C (VitC), antioxidant activity (FRAP) and (DPPH), phenolic compounds (Phen), and flavonoids (Flavon). Milk chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy (F4), white chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy+camu-camu syrup (F3), and white chocolate stuffed with camu-camu candy (F1) have excellent purchase percentages and levels of VitC, FRAP and DPPH, Phen, and Flavon, and especially titratable low acidity; these formulations are highlighted among consumers.
Highlights:
Camu-camu bonbons have bioactive compounds and high nutraceutical potential.
Different bonbon formulations affect the profile of bioactive compounds in bonbons.
The different parts of the camu-camu fruit used in the bonbon’s formulation influence the nutraceutical potential of the products.The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate different formulations of camu-camu bonbons, verifying which formulations obtained greater acceptability and maintenance of their nutraceutical potential.

La lectura interactiva y su relación con el desarrollo narrativo oral en el Nivel Inicial
Get PDFLa visión de la lectura centrada en habilidades de decodificación se vio transformada a partir del enfoque psicolingüístico (Goodman, 1996) y de las ideas transaccionales (Rosenblatt, en Dubois, 1991) hacia una concepción de la lectura como un proceso a͏ctivo͏ ͏de creación de significado. Sin embargo, este nuevo enfoque no siempre se ve reflejado en el aula. El presente estudio surge de la necesidad de repensar la manera de acercar los libros a los niños en el Nivel Inicial y busca analizar el impacto de la lectura interactiva en el desarrollo discursivo narrativo de estudiantes de sala de 5 años. Se empleó una metodología descriptiva y cuasi experimental: durante cuatro meses, el grupo experimental participó en secuencias de lectura interactiva y actividades de producción oral, mientras que se comparó su desempeño con el grupo control, a partir de evaluaciones pretest y postest. Los resultados muestran una progresión significativa en el grupo experimental, especialmente en la calidad de las renarraciones, que evolucionaron hacia textos completos y ordenados, incluso en cuentos sin estructuras repetitivas. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la práctica sistemática de la lectura interactiva y la renarración favorece la apropiación de la estructura narrativa y el desarrollo de la habilidad discursiva oral
Mi novia es la gran bestia otaku: enfrentamiento de representaciones en torno a la cultura de masas nipona en Enrique Planas
Get PDFIn both KimoKawaii (2015) and Demasiada responsabilidad (2017), Enrique Planas showcases his early engagements with Japanese animation and his interest in the Japanese cultural and creative industries. Planas stands as an exponent of what we have termed “otaku writing,” namely, a form of literature conceived by and for enthusiasts of Japanese comics and animation. This paper examines the textuality of both works, with particular attention to the representations and imaginaries they construct around otaku culture in both Japan and Latin America. To this end, the analysis will consider the following elements: the construction of characters and their otaku identities, the representation of different types of fanaticism, the spaces and activities of the fandom, the narrative structures chosen for each volume, modes of speech and behavior, the vocabulary employed, and the knowledge displayed regarding series and the codes of manganime. The study will draw on tools from cultural and literary studies, particularly comparative literature and reception aesthetics.Tanto en KimoKawaii (2015) como en Demasiada responsabilidad (2017), Enrique Planas hace gala de sus tempranos consumos de animación japonesa y su interés por las industrias culturales y creativas niponas. Planas es un exponente de lo que hemos dado en llamar “escritura otaku”, esto es, un tipo de literatura pensada por y para fanáticos del cómic y la animación japonesa. En el siguiente trabajo, abordaremos la textualidad de ambos libros teniendo en cuenta las representaciones e imaginarios que en ellos figuran en torno a la cultura otaku tanto de Japón como de Latinoamérica. Para ello, tendremos en cuenta los siguientes elementos de análisis: construcción de los personajes y sus identidades otaku, representación de distintos tipos de fanatismos, espacios y actividades realizadas por el fandom, estructura narrativa escogida para cada volumen, modos de hablar y comportamientos, vocabulario empleado y conocimientos exhibidos de series y los códigos del manganime. Para ello, se utilizarán herramientas provenientes de los estudios culturales y los estudios literarios, en particular los provenientes de las literaturas comparadas y la estética de la recepción
Étienne Gilson y la lingüística del siglo XX: El misterio de la significación como labor de la filosofía
Get PDFIn Linguistique et Philosophie: Essai sur les constantes philosophiques du langage (1969), Étienne Gilson discusses some of the most influential theses in 20th-century linguistics. This article primarily focuses on Gilson’s critique of the contributions made by linguists Ferdinand de Saussure, Émile Benveniste, and Noam Chomsky. From an Aristotelian perspective, Gilson highlights both the achievements and limitations of these theories, arguing that the phenomenon of meaning cannot be fully understood without engaging with philosophy. According to Gilson, language is not merely a system of arbitrary signs, composed of numerous elements and rules, but it also requires a metaphysical inquiry, which linguistics has tended to ignore or underestimate.En Linguistique et Philosophie : Essai sur les constantes philosophiques du langage (1969), Étienne Gilson examina algunas de las tesis más influyentes de la lingüística del siglo XX. El presente artículo se centra sobre todo en la discusión que Gilson hace de los aportes de los lingüistas Ferdinand de Saussure, Émile Benveniste y Noam Chomsky. Desde una perspectiva aristotélica, el autor destaca tanto los logros como las limitaciones de estas teorías, y argumenta que el fenómeno de la significación no puede comprenderse completamente sin recurrir a la filosofía. Según Gilson, el lenguaje no es solo un sistema de signos arbitrarios, conformado por numerosos elementos y normas, sino que requiere de una indagación metafísica que la lingüística históricamente tendió a ignorar o a subestimar
