By a strange coincidence, Trilce and The Waste Land were both published in October 1922, the annus mirabilis of Modernism, and in this essay I intend to «excavate» how modernity was projected in the work of T. S. Eliot and César Vallejo. I draw upon five exemplars of excavation in the modern era - of the earth, of the human body and brain, of the atom, and (via Heidegger and Foucault) of language itself - before moving onto an investigation of the search in the work of T. S. Eliot and Vallejo of a new dimension of reality contained within poetic language. The meaning of the poem in the Work of the Avant-Garde now springs from within the crevices between words. I conclude the essay with a discussion of the hypothesis that - in 1922 - Vallejo, along with T. S. Eliot, in their respective poems which were constructed out of «piles» of «broken images», created a completely new mythology of modernity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order for Brexit to be reversed, at least three main conditions need to be met. First the British public need to be overwhelmingly in favour of rejoining the European Union. Secondly, we need a United Kingdom government which is actively and seeking to negotiate re-entry to the European Union. Third we need the rest of the European Union to be prepared to readmit the United Kingdom to the club. Each of these can be achieved. It is just a question of time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, I make some reflections about body images and performative practices of Heavy Metal bands, whom inspiration is based on prehispanic cultures of Mexico. That kind of images are used to promote themselves on the national and international metal scene. Through an ethnographical analysis with some mexican metalheads, I reflect on the images and discourses of the prehispanic world and how they had mediated through information technologies. This mediatized practices reinforce the beliefs of the millenarian movement of Mexicanity, such as the idealization of mesoamerican past and the mexica's culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma is part of its treatment. Postoperative mortality is high in deep hematomas and sometimes higher than when conservative treatment is performed. Objective: To compare the hospital mortality of patients with deep spontaneous intracerebral hematoma without hydrocephalus, in relation to surgical or conservative treatment. Methods: This is an analytical study carried out at General Calixto García University Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2019, in patients diagnosed with deep spontaneous intracerebral hematoma without hydrocephalus, 32 operated by craniotomy and evacuation of the hematoma and 30 treated conservatively that resulted from random age matching, data were obtained from medical records. The t-student test, Fisher's exact statistic and odd ratio were used. Results: Mortality was related to older age in both groups (p= 0.032 in the surgical group and p= 0.021 in the conservative group), as well as the Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8 points (p= 0.001 in the surgical group and p= 0.008 in the conservative group); mortality was 84.4% in the surgical procedure and 63.3% in the conservative procedure. This difference was significant (p= 0.045). Conclusions: In patients with deep spontaneous intracerebral hematoma without hydrocephalus, higher mortality is associated with older age and values on the Glasgow scale for coma ≤ 8 points, both factors of poor prognosis. In turn, in those treated by craniotomy and evacuation of the hematoma, there are more deaths than in those treated conservatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Much research highlights a correlation linking inequality and corruption. Generally, such studies focus on economic inequality and just one dimension of corruption. Inspired in the celebrated phrase by Lord Acton linking power and corruption, the current study aims to explore the impact of different levels of power inequality on distinct dimensions, perspectives and forms of corruption. Focusing on theory and concepts, the analysis presents a model that links structural, institutional, legal and conventional forms of corruption to ideal type categories relating to the distribution and inequalities of power. Such levels of power extend from absolute power, associated with the power to construct and define the concept of corruption, to the power to distort the implementation or administration of public policy tied to administrative forms of corruption. Discussion also centers on the influence or hegemony of the orthodox perspective on corruption and the need for a better distribution of power among institutions, organizations and individuals in order to address corruption in all its forms.

The article discusses the importance of having a solid methodology to measure social cohesion in refugee camps. The need for indicators to evaluate the objectives of social cohesion in organizations' programs is highlighted. Additionally, the importance of qualitative studies in the development of indicators is mentioned, and the need for more specific measures of cohesion is emphasized. The text also mentions common obstacles to reconciliation and how the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) works to overcome them through listening, respect, and cultivating empathy.

El mundo en el que vivimos está lleno de heridas; en este contexto somos llamados por el Dios herido a compartir su amor con palabras y hechos destinados a las personas heridas para crear igualdad, justicia y paz. En este artículo me centraré específicamente en la misión dirigida a las personas con discapacidades. Mi experiencia personal herida y la experiencia de mi familia me desafiaron a trabajar con las personas con discapacidades. En el mundo herido, las personas con discapacidades son excluidas social, política, cultural y económicamente de forma verbal, psicológica y física, en la Iglesia y en la sociedad de Sri Lanka. En este artículo definiré quién es un discapacitado, y cómo es excluido por la sociedad y la Iglesia, y cómo la misionología puede curar las heridas de las personas con discapacidades. En mi nueva misionología, incluiré el Dios herido, la cristología ciega, la nueva espiritualidad, la reinterpretación de los milagros de Jesús y la relectura de los himnos y proverbios desde la perspectiva de las personas con discapacidad. Esto ayudará a las personas con discapacidades a vivir junto con todas las personas en la casa de Dios. Luego haré sugerencias y recomendaciones para la Iglesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Para dar sentido a la teología como disciplina pública en el mundo contemporáneo, las teologías deben tener en cuenta el contexto digital que conforma gran parte de la conversación pública. Como sostienen Sherry Turkle y Stig Hjarvard, las tecnologías de comunicación digital median cada vez más tanto en lo personal como en lo comunitario, por lo que su diseño tiene un impacto en las prácticas y actitudes humanas. Como resultado, la teología debe considerar críticamente los efectos ambiguos de lo digital sobre quien participa en la conversación pública, la insularidad de las comunidades de conversación y las disciplinas espirituales que sustentan la conversación teológica.
