This article analyzes the work of human rights defenders in 12 states in Mexico, who accompany cases of feminicides and disappearances in a context of a security crisis. Using focus group methodologies, we obtained qualitative information on their experiences. The findings indicate that current state policies, based on institutionalized feminism, fail to adequately address the diversity of women's needs. A transversal approach that considers the variety of experiences and voices of women defenders is suggested to combat gender violence more effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book "Levitas. Pentecostal Drama" by Paly Pavez is an autoethnographic exercise that narrates the experiences of four women who are members of a choir in a Pentecostal Methodist church in San Bernardo. The text shows how these women construct meanings and understand social reality in a hierarchical and masculinized space. The book also addresses the violence exerted towards women in Pentecostal religious contexts and seeks to generate reflection on the role of women in the Pentecostal movement in Chile.

Intermittency of wind and solar productions raises the concern of finding other sources of electricity to match the consumption when an hibernal anticyclone reduces dramatically wind production. In this situation occurring every year the stress on the grid is at maximum with the consumption at a peak and a low photovoltaic production. Despite these risks, scenarios still aim at high shares of wind and solar in the electricity mix of 2050, assuming that different wind regimes in Europe would allow France to import wind productions from its neighbors when in need. The study considers a typical situation given by hourly wind productions of the first two months of 2020, in France and in the closest countries. Assuming a full renewable electricity mix officially envisioned in France and Germany for 2050, the exchanges are computed and illustrated for the two months, with a focus on an anticyclone which occurred in the second part of January. The exchanges will not solve the shortage in France and it could even worsen it. The 50-50 renewable and nuclear scenario is given for comparison, showing that the solution lies in providing adequate secured power plant capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify potential mango products, as an alternative to take advantage of mango production that is not commercialized in the southern zone of Sinaloa. Methodology: Tow stages were implemented: (1) Generation of product alternatives. (2) Selection of a product. Results: In Stage 1, filled cookie, ate and bar were identified for their ease of purchase, functional content, and natural ingredients, with bar being the product with the greatest potential for success. In Stage 2, bars in amaranth, mixed nuts and chocolate and mixed cereal and yogurt presentations were the most preferred. Limitations: May be the identification of attributes through surveys can be subjective, so sensory testing with consumers is recommended. Conclusions: The three potential products and their attributes identified were: (1) mixed nuts and chocolate bar was preferred because of its energy contribution, ease of purchase and natural ingredients; (2) amaranth bar was preferred because of its protein, carbohydrates, fiber, natural ingredients, and price; and (3) mixed nuts and chocolate bar was preferred because of its protein, carbohydrates, fiber, natural ingredients, and price. Finally, (3) Cereal mix bar with yogurt was preferred for its meal replacement, fiber content and contribution to health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A university is a community of people in which knowledge is developed and transmitted. Authors from the 20th century determined that their original mission was the search for truth and their goals: educating the person, training professionals and research. The reality in the 21st century is different, the work of Latin American universities is aimed at contributing to the development of university social responsibility, which has currently been called one of its main purposes, far from their original goals. The reason for this situation is that higher education institutions seek to respond to market demands and adopt characteristics such as the university-company relationship, academic quality, accreditation systems and rankings. Faced with such situation, it is urgent that Latin American universities direct their work towards fulfilling their original mission and seek a balance among the demands of the market, the State, society, their missions and their goals, without leaning towards the paradigm of product, and staying within the paradigm of truth aimed at comprehensive education.

This text proposes to identify the current challenges of the professional training of indigenous youth as a strategy to ensure the improvement of the quality of life of their communities through food security, water and income generation. To achieve this purpose, it starts with a brief analysis of the current situation of Indigenous Peoples and the analysis of the challenges to assume when designing policies and programs from an intercultural perspective. In light of the results of projects developed in the Paraguayan Chaco and other contexts, an attempt is made to define the main contents of a professional training program in the environmental profession. The proposed methodologies for its implementation emphasize the adaptation processes to cultural and socio-environmental changes necessary to ensure food production and transformation. In these processes, community participation but also the involvement of women and young people is key. The conclusions emphasize the role that indigenous youth could assume as committed professionals to ensure the relevance and sustainability of the programs implemented in their communities.

Introduction: The influence of language and socio-cultural environment on the development of cortical connections is widely acknowledged, as well as the alteration of the latter in contexts of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present study evaluated potential differences in the detection of ASD, depending on the language and socio-cultural aspects of the population. Method: A search of publications was carried out in: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Epistemonikos from 2010 to 2020, which validated the use of the M-CHART R/F questionnaire as screening in the early ASD detection in patients between 12 and 36 months of age, without risk factors and in any country in the world. The meta-analysis included three reviewers who evaluated eligibility and extracted the data. The heterogeneity and consistency between studies, as well as the specific differences between each one with the main validation study were evaluated, including, the positivity of the phase 1 and its confirmation in the follow-up of each case. Results: Eight articles met the inclusion criteria; these were carried out in the United States, Argentina, France, Spain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Albania and Korea, in their official languages, for a total of 36,842 children. Heterogeneity was low (OR<0.42) for most subsets of the meta-analysis, except for the results obtained in Korea (OR=7.64). There is an association in results between countries (excluding Korea) OR=0.196 [0.178-0.216]; p<10-10. All studies showed significant differences in detection compared to the original validation study. Conclusion: The MCHAT R/F is a valid method for screening for suspected ASD in the general population, but it is dependent of the culture and language of the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Religious Prospecting in the Southern Cone. Commercialization, Materialities, and Beliefs" analyzes the transformations of the religious phenomenon in contemporary Latin America. It focuses on the crisis of legitimacy in traditional institutions and the emergence of new belief systems that complement the dominant religion. The book "Religious Prospecting in the Southern Cone" seeks to understand the new forms of religious belief and the characteristics of these processes of recomposition. It presents novel theoretical, methodological, and analytical categories, such as the commercialization of the sacred and religious materialities and spatialities. The text analyzes different aspects of materiality and territoriality in religion in the Southern Cone, exploring specific cases and addressing the importance of complementing different research methods.

Teachers and students constantly recreate meanings, conditioned by the digital media used in remote education during the pandemic. Semiosis is designed by teachers as learning games, involving students in the simulation of cultural practices in which didactic writing sequences are realized in chains that shift meanings between different semiotic modes, giving rise to transmodal moments. This study combines three theoretical approaches: socio-semiotic, anthropological-didactic, and didactic-disciplinary. Our objective is to explore semiosis in the transmodal moments that occur in the virtual interaction during a didactic sequence. From the qualitative point of view, this case study examines the simulation of cultural practices of a female student in the fourth year of Chilean elementary education, using the integrated analysis of semiotic chains and Hybrid Text-Image-Sound Systems (HTISS). The findings offer a description of the learning games associated with two cultural practices, whose cores of meaning shift between six links. The semiotic tracking reflects the tension between the agency of both meaning makers: the didactic meanings proposed by the teacher and the thematic meanings proposed by the student realized in the semiotic ensembles of teaching and learning mediated by a digital platform, in which the recycling of videos and documents is utilized. However, the feedback reveals that visual meanings remain invisible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant tumor in the world, generating great costs for health systems. Treatment should be oriented to the characteristics of the cancer, preventing the greatest number of complications. Objectives: In the present case report, a patient operated on for suspected colorectal cancer is described, who presents difficulty in reconstituting intestinal transit, due to avoidable surgical complications. Clinical case: A 70-year-old female patient, with a significant medical history, admitted for surgical resolution of colorectal cancer, performing anterior rectal resection with protective ileostomy. At the 2-month follow-up, stenosis was observed at the ileostomy level. Endoscopic dilations are performed, but perforation is suspected in the fourth consultation, which requires surgical management, this being very laborious due to intraoperative results not reported in the clinical record. Discussion: There are several complications related to colorectal anastomosis, including anastomotic leak, anastomotic stenosis, and pelvic sepsis, which can be prevented by salvage procedures such as ileostomy, which is not free of complications. The objective of avoiding complications is to be able to perform a traffic reconstruction without incidents and therefore the patient has the lowest possible morbidity and mortality rate.

Introduction: Hydatidosis is a prevalent zoonosis in Chile, so we must have a certain knowledge of this pathology to be able to suspect it, especially when the location is not the most frequent one described in the literature, such as peritoneal hydatidosis. Objectives: To characterize the clinical presentation of a peritoneal hydatid cyst, an infrequent location of hydatidosis even in an endemic area. Clinical case: 7-year-old female patient, with no morbid history. Consultation for symptoms suggestive of urinary infection, oriented to the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. During the hospitalization, it evolved torpidly, so it was decided to study with abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen where a collection is observed in the peritoneum, for which an exploratory laparotomy was decided, by means of which a pelvic hydatid cyst and another in a broken left flank are diagnosed. Discussion: The peritoneal location is a rare clinical presentation of this zoonosis, so suspicion due to epidemiological factors is essential for diagnosis. And it must always be accompanied by imaging to be able to discard the pathology correctly. Conclusion: Infection by the parasite that causes hydatidosis has a high prevalence in Chile, so a high diagnostic suspicion should be maintained in the face of a suggestive clinical presentation and thus be able to carry out an adequate management of the pathology.

Introduction: Hydatidosis is an endemic disease in Chile, A high index of suspicion should be had in patients with symptoms in risk areas. Splenic hydatidosis is a rare clinical presentation to watch, patients may be asymptomatic or present symptoms due to organ compression and / or complications. Treatment ranges from partial to total splenectomy, open or laparoscopic. Objectives: Present the clinical case report of a patient with a splenic cyst, diagnosed and treated in the pediatric and surgical services of the Herminda Martín Clinical Hospital. Clinical case: 14-year-old male patient, with no morbid history, admitted for fever of unknown origin associated with jaundice; During the ultrasound examination, the clinical finding of hepatosplenomegaly associated with free subhepatic peritoneal fluid, a 15.5-cm spleen with a 4.1-cm hypoechoic area was recorded. Due to a diagnostic doubt, it was decided to perform an abdominal CT that reported a hypodense replacement area in the spleen, of an uncertain nature. Due to a good clinical evolution, medical discharge and ultrasound control associated with serology for hydatidosis were decided. In control at two months, growth of the splenic collection is observed, deciding surgical resolution of the case, by means of partial splenectomy due to operative difficulty. Discussion: There is controversy about surgical treatment regarding the type of resection and surgical approach; The choice of total splenectomy has been described, however, recently there is a tendency to preserve all the spleen or at least a part of it when possible to avoid postplenectomy infection, especially in young patients.

Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT) is an extremely rare congenital disorder, which consists of the formation of a mirror image of the body's organs with respect to their normal position. Even rarer is its association with colorectal cancer (CRC), which, although it is one of the most common cancers in the world, is rarely associated with this condition. The following case report presents the subject of a patient with SIT and CRC, who underwent anterior resection by laparotomy. Although it is the most accepted management in many centers for this diagnosis, given the technical diffi- culty and the high risk of complications resulting from the malformation and variable anatomical arrangement of the viscera and vascular systems, today technology allows us to search for new horizons, less invasive and more effective, both to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the patient and to allow the surgeon to develop with expertise the best surgical technique that science allows.

Over five decades, the relationships between philosophy of science, philosophy of technology and the field of STS have been broad and diverse, although stand-offs, controversies and disputes have prevailed. However, the analysis from philosophy to STS studies shows that, after the influence of the science wars, a new scenario of novel and constructive encounters has emerged between these fields, especially in some specific philosophical perspectives on science and technology, which, unfortunately, are still little known. Some of these include studies of experimentation, the practical turn in the philosophy of science, the development of historical epistemology, the empirical turn in the philosophy of technology, and the approach to the moral relevance of artefacts. The analysis of the encounters between these philosophical perspectives and the STS field can serve to stimulate and invite the development of other possible encounters, such as those showed in this thematic dossier.
