This work investigates the literary representation of affections through a set of compositional resources such as fragmentation and narrative discontinuity in the novel La isla de Fushía by Irma del Águila. Through its intertextual relations with the works of Mario Vargas Llosa La casa verde [The Green House] and Historia secreta de una novela, we highlight how to address political concerns related to the environmental (and affective) impact of extractive processes. We are interested in reviewing the alternation between affection and extractivism, based on the deployment of a cartography of the Amazonian territory while taking a distance from the literary regionalism of the beginnings of the 20th century. So, the idea is to reveal how the inclusion of an affective and geographic map has the purpose of evoking personal and colonial traumas, the recovery of the voices of the jungle, more about the testimony about the subjection to the conditions imposed by the influence of the Capitalocene that of its representation in so much vernacular exoticism.

We present the first list of the ectoparasite insects (Diptera: Streblidae) collected on bats of the Phyllostomidae and Molossidae families, from the AICOM (Important area for bats conservation) denominated Osununú / Teyú Cuaré, in the locality of San Ignacio (Misiones province, Argentina). Trichobius furmani Wenzel was registered for the first time in Argentina, parasitizing Carollia perspicillata L. (Phyllostomidae); this ectoparasite was previously found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, and Peru. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the research carried out at the University institute of Health sciences of the dr. H. Barceló Foundation was to analyze the use that subjects make of the social network Facebook and what function it fulfills in the current era. For this study, the developments of psychoanalysis were articulated and complemented with other scientific disciplines. it started from the assumption that social networks do not represent a solution to the lack of relationship between subjects, wherewith the conformation of a virtual community is questioned. The field work was carried out with students of the different careers of the above mentioned institute, from interviews and observation of the social network Facebook. From the analysis of the information gathered, it could be concluded that Facebook or any other social network does not make up a community; rather they are the sum of the self of each subject. They do not replace the lack of relationship but, rather, deplay it in a privileged way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Xavier Abril's avant-garde nouvelle, The Automaton (1931), exhibits a distancing from the Peruvian indigenous narrative. In this regard, based on analysis of its most groundbreaking techniques, such as montage and fragmentation, or even through a review of paratexts prior to publication, one notices a challenge to both the concept of novel as well as that of subject. The latter is redefined by means of its conceptualization as automaton, a fundamental piece of a capitalist socioeconomic structure, and consequently its corresponding narrative form, the novel, whose characterization becomes a vehicle of said criticism.

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease caused by the ingestion of gluten. TA and CD have been associated with many other autoimmune conditions. However, only five cases with this association have been reported. In this series, three patients with TA and CD were included; all were female, 21, 30 and 54 years old. TA clinical manifestations preceded CD diagnosis in all patients. Aortic arch branches were affected in all of them. Serologic markers were positive and a small intestine biopsy showed typical findings of CD in the three patients. Special attention should be given to this possible association because these entities may be asymptomatic; the recognition of new disease variants modifies treatment, and sometimes CD constitutes a differential diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia.
