An met’antalab, ¿jant’ey a exlal?: evaluación de una intervención educativa para adolescentes indígenas acerca del nivel de conocimientos sobre el virus del papiloma humano
Get PDFJustificación. Entre 2014 y 2018 se registró un aumento significativo de adolescentes indígenas sexualmente activos, pasando del 13.7% al 20.5%, donde la desinformación acerca del virus del papiloma humano (VPH) asume conductas de riesgo. Por lo que, una intervención educativa en lengua tének, puede disminuir la barrera del lenguaje y favorecer la promoción de la salud. Objetivo. Evaluar el impacto en el nivel de conocimientos sobre VPH de una intervención educativa en lengua tének para adolescentes indígenas de un bachillerato público del municipio de San Antonio, San Luis Potosí. Metodología. Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, preexperimental, longitudinal y prospectivo. Se evaluó el nivel de conocimientos sobre el VPH a 44 participantes antes y después de una intervención educativa en lengua tének. Para los datos sociodemográficos se realizó estadística descriptiva y para el nivel de conocimiento la prueba T de Student para muestras relacionadas, mediante SPSS versión 18. Resultados. El nivel de conocimiento sobre el VPH que predomino pre-intervención fue “Regular” con un 43.2 %, y Pos-intervención “Excelente” con un 100%. Discusión. En la preintervención, se detectó la falta de conocimiento sobre el VPH en adolescentes indígenas, por lo que se destaca la importancia de intervenciones educativas para aumentar el conocimiento mediante el uso de la lengua materna. Conclusiones. La implementación de la intervención educativa en lengua tének resultó efectiva en el incremento del nivel de conocimiento acerca del VPH.Autoridades que crean políticasInvestigadore
La restauración de la Virgen del Rosario de la Escalera de Fray Pedro Bedón (1600): Conservación, técnica y valor patrimonial en el Convento de Santo Domingo de Quito
Get PDFThe present article analyzes the conservation and restoration process of the mural painting Virgen del Rosario de la Escalera, a work by the dominican friar Pedro Bedón (ca. 1600), belonging to the ensemble of the Convento Máximo de Santo Domingo in Quito. The intervention, carried out by Conservartecuador Foundation and funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung of Germany, was undertaken in 2024. Its aim was to stabilize and recover a heritage asset of incalculable historical and artistic value, representative of the Escuela Quiteña. This study examines the historical context of the work and its author, the technical evolution of its support, and the conservation procedures employed, which are grounded in contemporary mural restoration protocols. It also reflects on the image´s symbolic and devotional meaning within Ecuadorian cultural heritage, and on the need to establish sustainable strategies for the preservation of colonial artistic assets in active religious contexts.

About Lazarillo’s Authorship or, again, about Juan de Valdés
Get PDF[Resumen] Este artículo trata de recuperar y fundamentar la atribución de El Lazarillo a Juan de Valdés, ahondando en las razones esgrimidas por Manuel J. Asensio o, más recientemente, por Mariano Calvo. Empleando argumentos de tipo lingüístico, biográfico e intertextual, y cotejando El Lazarillo con obras de Valdés como el Diálogo de la lengua o el Diálogo de la doctrina cristiana, se concluye que, si el autor de El Lazarillo no fue Juan de Valdés, éste habría sido, como ya defendió Asensio en su momento, un autor excepcionalmente cercano a él, tanto en su biografía y en su personalidad como en su pensamiento y en su trayectoria literaria.[Abstract] This article aims to probe that Juan de Valdés is the most likely author of Lazarillo, a hypothesis already proposed by specialists such as Manuel J. Asensio and, most recently, Mariano Calvo. By analyzing linguistic recurrences, biographical data, and intertextual connections between El Lazarillo and Valdés’ writings such as Diálogo de la doctrina cristiana and Diálogo de la lengua, the conclusion is reached that, if the author of Lazarillo was not Valdés, that writer was, in fact, someone uniquely close to Valdés’ biography, personality, thought and literary trajectory
Detective fiction in Cuban society and culture.
No full textPhDThe object of this thesis is to reach towards an understanding of Cuban society through a
study of its detective fiction and more particularly contemporary Cuban society through
the novels of the author and critic, Leonardo Padura Fuentes.
The method has been to trace the development of Cuban detective writing and to
read Padura Fuentes in the light of the work of twentieth century Western European
literary critics and philosophers including Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, Terry
Eagleton, Roland Barthes, Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Jean François Lyotard and
Jean Baudrillard in order to gain a better understanding of the social and historical
context from which this genre emerged.
By concentrating on the literary texts, I have explored readings which lead out into
an analysis of the broader philosophical, political and historical issues raised by the
Cuban revolution. Since it deals primarily with modes of deviance and notions of legality
and justice within the context of the modern state, detective fiction is particularly well
suited to this type of investigation. The intention is to show how this is as valid in the
Cuban context as it is in advanced capitalist societies where such research has already
been carried out with some success.
The thesis comprises an introduction, ten chapters and a conclusion. The chapters
are divided into three sections. Chapters 1 to 3 attempt a broad theoretical, historical and
socio-political analysis of the cultural reality within which the Cuban revolutionary
detective genre emerged. Chapters 4 to 6 analyse the Cuban detective narrative from its
inception in the early part of the twentieth century until the emergence of Leonardo
Padura Fuentes as the foremost exponent of the genre in Cuba after 1991. Chapters 7-
10 concentrate upon the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes, offering a reading of his
detective tetralogy informed by the preceding discussion.
The contribution made by the thesis to knowledge of the subject is to build upon the
work of Seymour Menton and Amelia S. Simpson on the development of the Cuban
detective novel and to provide analyses of the pre-Revolutionary Cuban detective
narrative and the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes for the first time in the English
language. The thesis concludes that the study of this popular genre in Cuba is of crucial
importance to the scholar who wishes to reach as full an understanding of the social
dynamics within that society as possible. In particular, it proves that Cuban detective
fiction provides a useful barometer of social change which records the shifts in the Cuban
Zeitgeist that have taken place over the past century
Constructs of culture: Argentina\u27s struggle with its identity
No full textThe dissertation deals with the difficulties of self-description affecting the Argentine Republic from the moment of its independence from Spanish rule in 1810 to the late twentieth century. Concentrating on the cultural and sociological essays of Juan Bautista Alberdi, Esteban Echeverría, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento; Bartolomé Mitre, Eduardo Wilde, José Ingenieros, Manuel Ugarte; Ricardo Rojas, Leopoldo Lugones, Jorge Luis Borges; Ezequiel Martinez Estrada, Eduardo Mallea, José Ingenieros; Victor Massuh, Julio Mafud, and Ernesto Sábato; the dissertation provides a detailed analysis of the various ideological tenets followed by these authors in their efforts to influence or define the Argentine collective existence. Through consideration of the intellectual environments in which these essayists wrote, the dissertation establishes the vinculum of author to time, thereby refuting attempts at universality by individual essayists. It thereafter urges that these authors\u27 works be considered in their totality as an approximation at a definition of Argentine culture, arguing that comprehensibility is accessible only through the aggregation of all Argentine experiences in all times. Post-colonial studies offer the dissertation a theoretical basis for the analysis of immigration, (dis)unity within the Republic, as well as the roles of continuity and rupture in the emergence of Argentina as a national group with its struggles to recognize its location in relation to the various Western European and indigenous American cultures. The dissertation concludes that many attempts at national definition are examples of cultural creationism, supported by mythicizing historical persons, events, and lifestyles. Without attempting to define Argentine culture, the dissertation positions it within a marginal global community opposite the central metropolises

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
Get PDFThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
