Este texto propone señalar dos maneras de comprender la intervención en el patrimonio arquitectónico según el pensamiento heideggeriano del útil o de la obra de arte. Si la arquitectura es considerada un utensilio, la rehabilitación consistirá en devolverle su condición instrumental, pero los útiles, cuando funcionan, pasan desapercibidos. Rehabilitar consistirá pues en conseguir que el útil desaparezca de nuevo. Una segunda forma de rehabilitación consistiría en intervenir en el patrimonio anónimo, en el sentido dado por Heidegger, elevándolo a la condición de obra de arte, que es lo que convierte la arquitectura en lugar de máxima visibilidad y atención.
Conservation and restoration of prints, Architectural drawing and design
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a multitude of narratives saturated the print, audiovisual, and electronic media. Improvised, uninformed, apocalyptic and voluntarist approaches abounded. These notes – written during the pandemic and delivered in the conference series – address the proliferation of such discourses, emphasizing a series of issues. First, the widespread ignorance about the history of epidemics. Then, the inability to deal with the uncertainties that reign during pandemic times, as well as the announcements that this extraordinary health/sanitary event would produce a profound watershed in all walks of life and in all corners of the world. Finally, and against the general assertion that “one learns from the past to understand the present,” these notes seek to point out how the present can illuminate the study of the past – or, more personally, what I think I have learned as a historian in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This paper attempts to situate the notion of <i>shumi</i> as a rhetorical device used by modern Japanese department stores as part of their marketing strategies. Although often equated with the concept of ‘taste’, I demonstrate how <i>shumi</i> both overlaps with and differs from the concept of taste, as it is often discussed in critical theory in the context of consumerism. I do this by examining how <i>shumi</i> was used in the PR-magazines of various department stores and other related forms of print media. Special attention is paid to the PR-magazine of Mitsukoshi, which is perhaps the most innovative department store in modern Japanese history. Subsequently, I analyze three short stories by Mori Ōgai (1862–1922) published in Mitsukoshi’s PR-magazine between 1911 and 1912. Mitsukoshi printed short stories by acclaimed authors in their magazines, mostly as a form of lighthearted entertainment and branding. Yet, when read closely, Ōgai’s three stories also form a profound observation of the skewed moral reality of a market-driven economy. Each of the narratives under scrutiny in this paper shows the human cost of a system in which social relations are dictated by consumer objects. The cultivation of the urge to consume was carefully framed around the rhetoric of <i>shumi</i> and was thus not merely a marketing tool to increase profit margins but also a mechanism to manipulate the desires and anxieties of consumers. A reading of Ōgai’s three short narratives reveals the ambivalent morality produced by the rhetoric of <i>shumi</i>, which in turn engendered and validated the identities of an emerging middle class through the consumable object-as-sign.

Introduction: Mastectomy surgery in association with local radiotherapy and chemotherapy generates side effects such as: lymphedema, decreased range of motion, chronic pain, cardiotoxicity, neuropathy, premature menopause, infertility, anxiety, depression, fatigue. Decreased range of motion is the most disabling side effect of the treatment. Aerobic and resistive exercises can prevent lymphedema and improve the range of motion of the upper limb on the side of mastectomy. Objective: The purpose of the present study is to verify the effectiveness of an individualized kinetic program, applied to improve the upper limb range of motion after breast cancer surgery. Methods: In this study, 5 subjects (females, aged between 49 and 67) with right radical mastectomy and axillary lympho-dissection were included. They performed a kinetic program twice a week for 6 months and we evaluated the range motion at the level of the upper limb. Results: All the movements performed in upper limb (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation) improved, suggesting that the kinetic program is efficient. The average of the flexion movement increased by 35°, from 126° to 161°. The values obtained for the extension movement show an increase of the average by 14.6°. The abduction movement improved from 120° to 170°. At the elbow level, the flexion increased by 24.4° and the extension decreased by 6°. At the wrist level, the flexion increased by 37.4° and the extension increased from 41.8° to 78°. Conclusions: After applying the therapeutic program, the final physical assessments highlights that the range of motion increased in the upper limb.

The article attempts to define the print advertorial in the perspective of the Polish theory of the genre and the French school of discourse analysis: to describe the genre signals that distinguish it from editorial content on the one hand and advertising content on the other, and to identify the relevant and idiosyncratic features of its prototypical core. It complements existing linguistic, media and press studies (Polish, European, American and Canadian), which – despite the dynamically growing importance of advertorial communication, becoming a dominant marketing tool in the magazine press – marginalise this phenomenon and do not devote much attention to it. The print advertorial is an advertising genre where messages are (as required by law) labelled, not listed, paginated or journalistically signed. They become genologically similar – to other press genres – and physically similar – to the editorial content around them – through the mechanisms of polymorphic mimesis. This strategy includes techniques of a greater or lesser degree of manipulation, such as nomenclature diversification, signature written in tiny print, low-visibility places and vertically, harmonisation of the topic and layout, genre adaptations as well as imitating the appearance of a typical newspaper article. A particularly interesting case is the mechanism of nomenclature diversification, which is completely overlooked in research. As it turns out, on the advertising market in Poland, there are 20 different signatures of the advertorial operating simultaneously, which – let me emphasise – are fully synonymous. These include terms such as: prezentacja partnera, promocja, materiał prasowy, materiał przygotowany przez + [brand name] (e.g., Material prepared by Optegra) or [brand name] + in + [magazine name] (e.g., Davines in Wysokie Obcasy Extra). Per analogiam, advertorials in French are covered by 12 different signatures (including publi-communiqué, publi-information, publi-story, publi-reportage, publi-évasion) and in English by three names (advertorial, special advertising section, promotion). The author presents the advertorial in its proper socio-cultural and historical context and carries out semiotic and discursive analyses of numerous examples from Polish, French and English magazine press from the years 2000–2021. That allows her to propose a broad definition of the print advertorial in question and, at the same time, to illustrate its complex, polymorphic nature.
Publishing an informative, useful, and attractive journal has been a difficult task throughout the history of scientific communications. Print publishing has had its own hardships that kept editors and publishers busy with time-consuming technological processes, requiring specific skills and abundant financial investments. With the advent of digital media and Open Access, scholarly activities and knowledge transfer have accelerated and facilitated globally affordable online publishing practices.
<em>The emergence of instant products has a major impact on people's perspectives and behavior. Many people do not want to be difficult in owning a house, so PT Karya Cipta Sakinah uses this great opportunity to build a medium-sized business that is engaged in the developer. The business that was carried out began with the use of own capital which is now expanding into a larger business aimed at supporting the government's "Million Houses" program. The sharia marketing strategy implemented by PT Karya Cipta Sakinah which prioritizes sharia elements brings a lot of blessings, this has a big impact on the increase in consumer response and blessed profit. PT Karya Cipta Sakinah initially used promotional strategies through print media which were considered less effective. And now increasingly expanding its wings by using a Facebook account as an accurate means of proper promotion to facilitate the delivery of business product information to the wider community. In this case the researcher uses the research method "Qualitative Descriptive Analysis" with data collection techniques "observation, interviews and documentation"</em>

Introduction: Health-care professionals are trained health-care providers who occupy a potential vanguard position in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention programs and the management of AIDS patients. This study was performed to assess HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and perceptions among health-care professionals at a tertiary health-care institution in Uttarakhand, India, and to identify the target group where more education on HIV is needed.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional KAP survey was conducted among five groups comprising consultants, residents, medical students, laboratory technicians, and nurses. Probability proportional to size sampling was used for generating random samples. Data analysis was performed using charts and tables in Microsoft Excel 2016, and statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science software version 20.0.
Results: Most participants had incomplete knowledge regarding the various aspects of HIV/AIDS. Attitude in all the study groups was receptive toward people living with HIV/AIDS. Practical application of knowledge was best observed in the clinicians as well as medical students. Poor performance by technicians and nurses was observed in prevention and prophylaxis. All groups were well informed about the National AIDS Control Policy except technicians.
Conclusion: Poor knowledge about HIV infection, particularly among the young medical students and paramedics, is evidence of the lacunae in the teaching system, which must be kept in mind while formulating teaching programs. As suggested by the respondents, Information Education Communication activities should be improvised making use of print, electronic, and social media along with interactive awareness sessions, regular continuing medical educations, and seminars to ensure good quality of safe modern medical care.
The historic restoration of the Theatre of Marcellus, begun in 1926 and completed in the early 30s, fully reflects the debate on restoration that was underway in Italy on the eve of the Athens conference. In fact, the project addressed all the various themes of restoration, and not merely those specifically tied to the field of archaeology (excavation, consolidation, integration or replacement of missing portions), but also architectural considerations, such as stratifications and the surrounding environment. In the work of integration and consolidation, traditional techniques were used, employing the same materials as in ancient times, along with modern-day ones (reinforced concrete and steel), evaluating each situation as it arose, with the most effective solution determined through direct experimentation in the field.

In this study the effects of oxidative bleaching and mechanical dispersion in different conditions on the optical and mechanical properties of deinked recycled pulp was investigated. Industrial deinked pulp was treated in the different conditions, including dispersion, combined oxidative bleaching during dispersion, and separate dispersion and then oxidative bleaching. Handsheet papers were made from obtained pulps and then scanned and taken photos were analyzed by Digimizer software, version 4.1.1.0 to analysis spot content. Optical and mechanical properties of obtained handsheets were determined and compared. Results indicated that mechanical dispersion decreased spot content and brightness and increased yellowing of the handsheets. Moreover, mechanical dispersion increased dry and wet tensile and burst strengths, water retention value (WRV), ash content and decreased tear strength of handsheet papers. This study revealed that combined dispersing and oxidative bleaching of de-inked pulp provided superior results in comparison to the separate dispersing and oxidative bleaching.

In order to eliminate the harm of formaldehyde from panels bonded with UF resin to environment and human health at the source, the low volatile and nontoxic aldehyde of glyoxyal (G) was chosen to react with urea (U) to prepare the wood adhesive of urea-glyoxal (UG) resin a substitute for urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. The urea-glyoxal (UG) resin was synthesized under weak acid conditions, and its different properties were measured. Also, the effect of nanoclay on physico-chemical, thermal and mechanical properties of UG resin was investigated. For this purpose, the prepared UG resin was mixed with 1, 2 and 3 wt% nanoclay by mechanically stirring for 5 min at room temperature. The physico-chemical properties (such as SPG, viscosity, solid content and gelation time) and dry shear strength of the prepared resin were measured according to standard methods. Also, the effect of nanoclay on curing temperature of UG resin was analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) device. The physico-chemical test results indicated that addition of nanoclay increased SPG, viscosity and solid content of UG resin and decreased gelation time in the prepared resin. Dry shear strength test results showed that increasing nanoclay content from 1 to 3 wt% increased shear strength of UG resin; as the panels containing 3% nanoclay exhibited the highest shear strength value and wood failure percentage. Based on DSC test results, hardening rate as well as enthalpy value of the prepared UG resin was decreased by addition of nanoclay.
In this study in order to investigate the effect of gypsum type on the physical and mechanical properties of gypsum Particleboard were used from two type Jebel and Micronize gypsum. To obtain the suitable amount of gypsum in manufacturing gypsum particleboard was used from the three levels 2.5:1, 2.75:1 and 3:1 of gypsum to dried mass of wooden materials. Physical and mechanical properties of manufactured board were carried out in accordance with European Norms (EN) standard. The result showed that gypsum particleboard manufactured Jebel gypsum have the most mechanical properties (Bending strength, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength), but physical properties (water absorption and thickness swelling) of this boards was more than the boards manufactured from Micronize gypsum. Furthermore using 2.75 times gypsum to dried mass of wooden materials is also suitable in production gypsum particleboard.
The media play a key role in forming opinions by influencing people´s understanding and perception of a topic. People gather information about topics of interest from the internet and print media, which employ various news frames to attract attention. One example of a common news frame is the human-interest frame, which emotionalizes and dramatizes information and often accentuates individual affectedness. Our study investigated effects of human-interest frames compared to a neutral-text condition with respect to perceived risk, emotions, and knowledge acquisition, and tested whether these effects can be "generalized" to common variants of the human-interest frame. Ninety-one participants read either one variant of the human-interest frame or a neutrally formulated version of a newspaper article describing the effects of invasive species in general and the Asian ladybug (an invasive species) in particular. The framing was achieved by varying the opening and concluding paragraphs (about invasive species), as well as the headline. The core text (about the Asian ladybug) was the same across all conditions. All outcome variables on framing effects referred to this common core text. We found that all versions of the human-interest frame increased perceived risk and the strength of negative emotions compared to the neutral text. Furthermore, participants in the human-interest frame condition displayed better (quantitative) learning outcomes but also biased knowledge, highlighting a potential dilemma: Human-interest frames may increase learning, but they also lead to a rather unbalanced view of the given topic on a "deeper level".

FUNDAMENTO: Apesar das inúmeras evidências de aumento da morbimortalidade, a incompetência cronotrópica (IC) ainda não é um diagnóstico rotineiro e bem definido nos protocolos de avaliação cardiológica e sua importância clínica ainda é subestimada. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os parâmetros clínicos e ecocardiográficos associados à IC em pacientes não idosos submetidos à ecocardiografia sob estresse físico (EEF). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 1.798 pacientes com idade média de 48,4 ± 7,5 anos submetidos à EEF entre Janeiro/2000 e Agosto/2009. Pacientes com índice cronotrópico menor que 0,8 foram considerados incompetentes cronotrópicos e comparados aos competentes quanto às características clínicas e ecocardiográficas. RESULTADOS: A duração do esforço físico foi em média de 9,3 ± 2,4 minutos. Duzentos e setenta (15%) pacientes eram incompetentes cronotrópicos. O índice cronotrópico de tal grupo foi de 0,7 ± 0,1 vs. 1,0 ± 0,1 para os competentes. A análise de regressão logística multivariada identificou os seguintes parâmetros como independentemente associados à IC: dispneia no exame [odds ratio (OR) = 4,27; p < 0,0001], dor torácica prévia na história clínica (OR = 1,51; p = 0,0111), maiores valores de índice de massa do ventrículo esquerdo nos incompetentes (IMVE) (OR = 1,16; p = 0,0001), equivalentes metabólicos (METs) (OR = 0,70; p = 0,0001), infradesnivelamento do segmento ST (OR = 0,58; p = 0,0003) e elevação da pressão arterial sistólica (ΔPAS) (OR = 0,87; p = 0,0011). Isquemia miocárdica não se associou à IC. CONCLUSÃO: A IC está associada a parâmetros funcionais, tais como: dispneia ao esforço, história de dor torácica e menores valores de METS. Está também associada ao parâmetro estrutural índice de massa do ventrículo esquerdo. Além disso, incompetência cronotrópica não parece aumentar a chance de isquemia miocárdica em pacientes não idosos. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2012; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0)

En este artículo el autor explora la estructura como componente esencial de los edificios. Las posibles opciones de reparación estructural, refuerzo o sustitución se examinan desde un punto de vista ético. La lógica más elemental y el criterio básico de la restauración se inclinarían hacia la reparación de la estructura existente y la continuidad de su función. Para ello, es necesario un diagnóstico preciso de la situación. El respeto por la materialidad de la estructura histórica permite ponderar la adopción de decisiones. El refuerzo es aceptable, pero no debe alardearse. La sustitución incluye también reemplazar un sistema estructural original por una estructura alternativa, incluso cuando esta se mantiene. Los argumentos éticos pueden llegar a ser complejos y requieren discernir con claridad los principios generales y nuestra propia motivación.
