Semiótica de la transversalidad para una formación contemporánea en la artesanía

En los últimos años observamos como los avances tecnológicos empujan de forma vertiginosa y exponencial a un cambio de paradigma en la sociedad, y por ende, en la economía, que obliga a todos los sectores productivos a reinventarse. Esta forma de avanzar nos impide vislumbrar los daños colaterales que genera y que está provocando una grieta enorme en la sostenibilidad de nuestro planeta. Por este motivo, cada vez son más las voces que piden cambios en los modelos productivos y en la forma de relacionarnos con nuestro entorno, sea económico, social o natural. La artesanía no es ajena a esta situación. Desde la llegada de la revolución industrial no ha dejado de transformarse y adaptarse para sobrevivir en un mundo competitivo donde los tiempos se deforman, pero ahora más que nunca, necesita adaptarse a una realizad difusa que puede relanzarla como actividad económica sostenible o abocarla a su desaparición. Son muchas las señales que nos van marcando el camino, como son la digitalización de ciertos procesos productivos, la búsqueda constante de la singularidad y la excelencia, el diseño como base para la contemporaneidad, o la sostenibilidad e identidad territorial como elementos esenciales del ADN artesanal. Cuestiones todas ellas que se deben abordar, sistematizar e incorporar a los programas formativos de todas las disciplinas artesanas en las escuelas de arte, centros de formación profesional o facultades universitarias. Este artículo, por tanto, pretende anticiparse como avance introductorio a una posible construcción epistemológica de la formación artesanal a través de la incorporación de aquellos signos y evidencias propios de materias transversales que deben conformarse como troncales en los futuros programas educativos relacionados con la artesanía.In recent years, we have observed how technological advances are pushing society, and therefore the economy, in a vertiginous and exponential way, towards a paradigm shift that is forcing all productive sectors to reinvent themselves. This way of moving forward prevents us from glimpsing the collateral damage it generates and is causing a huge crack in the sustainability of our planet. For this reason, more and more voices are calling for changes in production models and in the way we relate to our environment, whether economic, social or natural. Crafts are no stranger to this situation. Since the arrival of the industrial revolution, it has not stopped transforming and adapting to survive in a competitive world where times are changing, but now more than ever, it needs to adapt to a diffuse reality that can relaunch it as a sustainable economic activity or lead it to its disappearance. There are many signs that are showing the way, such as the digitalization of certain production processes, the constant search for uniqueness and excellence, design as a basis for contemporaneity, or sustainability and territorial identity as essential elements of the artisan DNA. All these issues should be addressed, systematized and incorporated into the training programs of all craft disciplines in art schools, vocational training centers or university faculties. This article, therefore, intends to anticipate as an introductory advance to a possible epistemological construction of craft training through the incorporation of those signs and evidences of transversal subjects that should become core subjects in future educational programs related to crafts.Nos últimos anos, observamos como os avanços tecnológicos estão empurrando de forma vertiginosa e exponencial para uma mudança de paradigma na sociedade e, portanto, na economia, que obriga todos os setores produtivos a se reinventarem. Essa forma de avançar nos impede de ver os danos colaterais que ela gera e que está causando uma grande rachadura na sustentabilidade do nosso planeta. Por isso, cada vez mais vozes clamam por mudanças nos modelos de produção e na forma como nos relacionamos com o meio ambiente, seja ele econômico, social ou natural. O artesanato não escapa a esta situação. Desde a chegada da revolução industrial, não parou de se transformar e se adaptar para sobreviver em um mundo competitivo onde os tempos são deformados, mas agora mais do que nunca, precisa se adaptar a uma realidade difusa que pode ou bem relança-o como uma atividade econômica sustentável, ou contribuir ao seu desaparecimento. Muitos são os indícios que marcam o caminho, como a digitalização de determinados processos de produção, a procura constante da singularidade e da excelência, o design como base da contemporaneidade, ou a sustentabilidade e a identidade territorial como elementos essenciais do DNA artesanal. Todas essas questões devem ser tratadas, sistematizadas e incorporadas aos programas de formação de todas as disciplinas de artesãos em escolas de arte, centros de formação profissional ou faculdades. Este artigo, portanto, visa antecipar-se como um avanço introdutório a uma possível construção epistemológica da formação artesanal por meio da incorporação daqueles signos e evidências de disciplinas transversais que devem se constituir como núcleo em futuros programas educacionais relacionados ao artesanato

The Daugavet equation for polynomials on C⁎-algebras and JB⁎-triples

We prove that every JB∗-triple E (in particular, every C∗- algebra) satisfying the Daugavet property also satisfies the stronger polynomial Daugavet property, that is, every weakly compact polynomial P : E −→ E satisfies the Daugavet equation IdX +P = 1 + P . The analogous conclusion also holds for the alternative Daugavet propert

Changes in Lipoinflammation Markers in People with Obesity after a Concurrent Training Program: A Comparison between Men and Women

Obesity is related to low-grade systemic inflammation. This state of inflammation is characterized by the alteration in adipokine regulation, which may lead to a situation of cardiometabolic risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a concurrent training program on markers of lipoinflammation in adult people with obesity, comparing the response to the training between men and women. A quasi-experimental, quantitative, and longitudinal study with a pre-post intervention was conducted. An 8-week concurrent training program was carried out, in which 26 individuals with obesity participated (mean ± SD; age = 46.38 ± 4.66) (BMI = 36.05 ± 4.99) (12 men and 14 women). Before and after the intervention period, blood samples were taken by percutaneous puncture. The blood levels of adiponectin and leptin were evaluated. Significant differences were obtained in the adiponectin-leptin ratio (A/L ratio) of the entire sample (p = 0.009, ES = 0.53), which indicates a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases and lipoinflammation. There were no significant differences in the improvements observed after the training in A/L ratio between women (A/L change = +63.5%) and men (A/L change= +59.2%). It can be concluded that the combination of aerobic exercise and resistance training induced an improvement in markers of lipoinflammation and cardiometabolic risk in the individuals with obesity evaluated in this study

Observational Δν\Delta\nu-ρˉ\bar\rho relation for δ\delta Sct stars using eclipsing binaries and space photometry

Delta Scuti ($\delta$ Sct) stars are intermediate-mass pulsators, whose intrinsic oscillations have been studied for decades. However, modelling their pulsations remains a real theoretical challenge, thereby even hampering the precise determination of global stellar parameters. In this work, we used space photometry observations of eclipsing binaries with a $\delta$ Sct component to obtain reliable physical parameters and oscillation frequencies. Using that information, we derived an observational scaling relation between the stellar mean density and a frequency pattern in the oscillation spectrum. This pattern is analogous to the solar-like large separation but in the low order regime. We also show that this relation is independent of the rotation rate. These findings open the possibility of accurately characterizing this type of pulsator and validate the frequency pattern as a new observable for $\delta$ Sct stars.Comment: 11 pages, including 2 pages of appendix, 2 figures, 2 tables, accepted for publication in ApJ

A Maut aprroach for reusing domain ontologies on the basis of the NeOn Methodlogy

Knowledge resource reuse has become a popular approach within the ontology engineering field, mainly because it can speed up the ontology development process, saving time and money and promoting the application of good practices. The NeOn Methodology provides guidelines for reuse. These guidelines include the selection of the most appropriate knowledge resources for reuse in ontology development. This is a complex decision-making problem where different conflicting objectives, like the reuse cost, understandability, integration workload and reliability, have to be taken into account simultaneously. GMAA is a PC-based decision support system based on an additive multi-attribute utility model that is intended to allay the operational difficulties involved in the Decision Analysis methodology. The paper illustrates how it can be applied to select multimedia ontologies for reuse to develop a new ontology in the multimedia domain. It also demonstrates that the sensitivity analyses provided by GMAA are useful tools for making a final recommendation

Post-Covid-19 Media: On a Possible Starting Point for the Search for Solutions to the Dissemination of Conspiracy Theories

Un fenómeno de particular relevancia internacional paralelo a la pandemia de COVID-19 ha sido la “infodemia” ligada a ella. A su vez, un género de fake news que ha mostrado ser particularmente peligroso para la salud pública son las teorías conspirativas anti-vacuna, por el hecho de que eventualmente, de existir una cantidad considerable de personas que crean en ellas y rechacen recibir la vacuna, podría dificultarse la consecución de la denominada “inmunidad de rebaño”. Los medios de comunicación, por tal, representan una espada de doble filo en este contexto, ya que si bien contribuyen a una distribución rápida de la información relacionada con los métodos de prevención del contagio, también facilitan la distribución de información errónea y/o manipulada Teniendo en cuenta la preeminente influencia de los medios en la situación de urgencia que actualmente estamos atravesando, una disciplina a primera vista importante para la búsqueda de soluciones para la reproducción de teorías conspirativas anti-vacuna es la ética de medios. No obstante, si se toma como referencia los diferentes motores de búsqueda académicos, las producciones vinculadas con esta disciplina han estado ausentes en los últimos meses, lo cual da indicios de que existen problemas meta-teóricos en esta sub-disciplina filosófica que le impiden abordar las características del fenómeno en cuestión.Universidad Nacional de La Plat
