Resumen del libro "Paper cadavers: the archives of dictatorshio in Guatemala", de Kirsten Weld.

Environmental heat stress is the result of ambient temperature, radiation, and relative humidity. During football practice on synthetic surfaces and no roof, solar radiation causes an important temperature increase of the playing surface. This technical note explains how heat stress is calculated according to the WBGT index (which does not consider playing surface temperature), and quantifies the increase in a synthetic surface compared to natural grass on the same site. Football practice should be avoided during those hours with the highest solar radiation and temperature on this type of surface.

Dice Cook que, antes de comenzar un estudio serio de pragmatismo (pragmatics, el estudio del uso de la lengua) debemos considerar el significado literal de las oraciones. Con el propósito de establecer los puntos en que ambas gramáticas coinciden y para obtener un beneficio del trabajo de análisis realizado en ambos campos, Cook establece una comparación entre la Gramática de Casos y la Semántica Generativa.

En esta nota se ofrecen las razones por las cuales se deben elaborar artículos científicos construidos de acuerdo con las normas internacionales establecidas y los principios de rigurosidad y originalidad necesarios para que sean aprobados por los árbitros especialistas en el campo. Además, se desarrollan varias ideas relacionadas con la ética del escritor, destacando las buenas prácticas y aclarando lo que no debe hacerse. Se concluye que solo con buenos artículos, los profesionales e investigadores costarricenses pueden contribuir a mejorar los aportes científicos y profesionales que se puedan generar en el país. De igual manera, las revistas científicas costarricenses mejorarán su visibilidad y aportes a la ciencia mundial.

This paper revisits the online documentation of Eduardo Kac’s work Genesis (1999) in order to address the problematic of embodiment as it emerges in the process of specta(c)torship afforded by this work. The central piece of Genesis consisted in a genetically modified bacteria which incorporated an artist-designed synthetic gene created by translating into DNA base pairs a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis. The reading that I propose problematizes the meaning of the human body in view of the complex entanglement of living and technological systems that appears in this work. Relying on elements from the archival theory formulated by Jacques Derrida, this paper reads Genesis as an attempt to playfully undo the origin (the human master of nature, and the associated duality between culture and nature) form inside the very history that this origin grounds, by folding into one another the cultural archive of the written biblical fragment, the technological archive that makes the work possible, and the DNA as an archive of chemical sequences that constitutes the fundament of life. The article also raises the question of how to address environmental crisis from a perspective that does not rely on the figure of the human and on the nature/culture divide.
