Revisitando el teatro de César Vallejo: La piedra cansada y la reorganización de los procesos productivos

El presente artículo invita a una relectura de la obra teatral La piedra cansada, de César Vallejo, contextualizándola ante el trasfondo de los discursos vanguardistas e indigenistas de los años 1930 y siguiendo las pautas marxistas asumidas por el propio autor. Puesto que la base material determina la superestructura ideológica y estética que se eleva sobre ella, la reorganización económica de los procesos productivos representada en la pieza se reflejará también en la reorganización (o rehumanización) de la ‘nueva poesía’ americana que altera el paradigma de la “deshumanización del arte nuevo” según Ortega y Gasset, ‘autoctonizando’ e ‘indigenizando’ los discursos estéticos.This article invites to revisit César Vallejo’s play La piedra cansada, situating it in the context of avant-garde and indigenist discourse of the 1930s and interpreting it from the author’s own Marxist point of view. Given that the material base determines the ideological and aesthetic superstructure, the economic reorganization of production processes represented by the play reflects the reorganization (or re-humanization) of American “nueva poesía” that modifies Ortega y Gasset’s paradigm of de-humanized modern arts and leads to a process of vernacularization of aesthetic discourses

Pain Intervention for people with Dementia in nursing homes (PID) : study protocol for a quasi-experimental nurse intervention

Background: It is estimated that 19 to 83% of people with dementia suffer from pain that is inadequately treated in the last months of life. A large number of healthcare workers who care for these people in nursing homes lack appropriate expertise and may therefore not always recognise, assess and treat pain in those with dementia who have complex problems on time, properly and efficiently. The aim of this intervention trial is to identify care needs of people with dementia suffering from pain living in a nursing home. Methods: A quasi-experimental nurse-led intervention trial based on a convenience sample of four nursing homes in the Swiss Canton of Zurich examines the effects on dementia patients (n = 411), the healthcare institution and the qualification level of the healthcare workers compared to historical controls, using an event analysis and a multilevel analysis. Healthcare workers will be individually trained how to assess, intervene and evaluate acute and chronic pain. There are three data-monitoring cycles (T0, T1, T2) and two intervention cycles (I1, I2) with a total study duration of 425 days. There is also a process evaluation based on Dobbins analyses that analyze in particular the potentials for change in clinical practice of change agents. Discussion: The aim of the intervention trial is to improve pain management strategies in older people with dementia in nursing homes. Clinically significant findings will be expected that will help reduce suffering in the sense of “total pain” for people with dementia. The joint intra- and interdisciplinary collaboration between practice and supply-oriented (nursing) research will have both a lasting effect on the efficiency measurement and provide scientifically sound results. Nursing homes can integrate the findings from the intervention trial into their internal quality control process. The potential for improvements can be directly influenced by the nursing home itself

Delta Baryon Magnetic Moments From Lattice QCD

Theoretical predictions for the magnetic moments of the physical Delta baryons are extracted from lattice QCD calculations. We utilize finite-range regulated effective field theory that is constructed to have the correct Dirac moment mass dependence in the region where the up and down quark masses are heavy. Of particular interest is the chiral nonanalytic behaviour encountered as the nucleon-pion decay channel opens. We find a Delta^++ magnetic moment (at the Delta pole) of 4.99 \pm 0.56 \mu_N. This result is within the Particle Data Group range of 3.7-7.5 \mu_N and compares well with the experimental result of Bosshard et al. of 4.52 \pm 0.51 \pm 0.45 \mu_N. The interplay between the different pion-loop contributions to the Delta^+ magnetic moment leads to the surprising result that the proton moment may exceed that of the Delta^+, contrary to conventional expectations.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, RevTex 4; Updated to include a recent experimental resul
