A vida em cena: a novela corta Moho, de Paulette Jonguitud Acosta, e a tragédia

The narrative sub-genre known as novela corta, which corresponds, in Portuguese language literatures, to the novela simply, has a long tradition in Spanish-American literary production. Usually characterized by its extension, the novela corta resents, however, other markers. One of the issues pointed out by critics is its approach to other literary genres. The present study turns to a reading of the novela corta Moho (2010), by Paulette Jonguitud Acosta, defending a clear dialogue with the dramatic genre, in particular, with tragedy. Through the concept of “rostity” from Deleuze and Guattari, as well as Nietzsche’s reading of the tragedy, it is intended to understand the meanings built in Moho in conjunction with the dramatic genre.O sub-gênero narrativo conhecido como novela corta, que corresponde, nas literaturas de língua portuguesa, à novela simplesmente, possui uma larga tradição na produção literária hispano-americana.

Barriers of mental health treatment utilization among first-year college students: First cross-national results from the WHO World Mental Health International College Student Initiative.

BACKGROUND: Although mental disorders and suicidal thoughts-behaviors (suicidal thoughts and behaviors) are common among university students, the majority of students with these problems remain untreated. It is unclear what the barriers are to these students seeking treatment. AIMS: The aim of this study is to examine the barriers to future help-seeking and the associations of clinical characteristics with these barriers in a cross-national sample of first-year college students. METHOD: As part of the World Mental Health International College Student (WMH-ICS) initiative, web-based self-report surveys were obtained from 13,984 first-year students in eight countries across the world. Clinical characteristics examined included screens for common mental disorders and reports about suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Multivariate regression models adjusted for socio-demographic, college-, and treatment-related variables were used to examine correlates of help-seeking intention and barriers to seeking treatment. RESULTS: Only 24.6% of students reported that they would definitely seek treatment if they had a future emotional problem. The most commonly reported reasons not to seek treatment among students who failed to report that they would definitely seek help were the preference to handle the problem alone (56.4%) and wanting to talk with friends or relatives instead (48.0%). Preference to handle the problem alone and feeling too embarrassed were also associated with significantly reduced odds of having at least some intention to seek help among students who failed to report that they would definitely seek help. Having 12-month major depression, alcohol use disorder, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors were also associated with significantly reduced reported odds of the latter outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of first-year college students in the WMH-ICS surveys report that they would be hesitant to seek help in case of future emotional problems. Attitudinal barriers and not structural barriers were found to be the most important reported reasons for this hesitation. Experimental research is needed to determine whether intention to seek help and, more importantly, actual help-seeking behavior could be increased with the extent to which intervention strategies need to be tailored to particular student characteristics. Given that the preference to handle problems alone and stigma and appear to be critical, there could be value in determining if internet-based psychological treatments, which can be accessed privately and are often build as self-help approaches, would be more acceptable than other types of treatments to student who report hesitation about seeking treatment.status: publishe

Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019 : a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Background Ending the global tobacco epidemic is a defining challenge in global health. Timely and comprehensive estimates of the prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden are needed to guide tobacco control efforts nationally and globally. Methods We estimated the prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden for 204 countries and territories, by age and sex, from 1990 to 2019 as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. We modelled multiple smoking-related indicators from 3625 nationally representative surveys. We completed systematic reviews and did Bayesian meta-regressions for 36 causally linked health outcomes to estimate non-linear dose-response risk curves for current and former smokers. We used a direct estimation approach to estimate attributable burden, providing more comprehensive estimates of the health effects of smoking than previously available. Findings Globally in 2019, 1.14 billion (95% uncertainty interval 1.13-1.16) individuals were current smokers, who consumed 7.41 trillion (7.11-7.74) cigarette-equivalents of tobacco in 2019. Although prevalence of smoking had decreased significantly since 1990 among both males (27.5% [26. 5-28.5] reduction) and females (37.7% [35.4-39.9] reduction) aged 15 years and older, population growth has led to a significant increase in the total number of smokers from 0.99 billion (0.98-1.00) in 1990. Globally in 2019, smoking tobacco use accounted for 7.69 million (7.16-8.20) deaths and 200 million (185-214) disability-adjusted life-years, and was the leading risk factor for death among males (20.2% [19.3-21.1] of male deaths). 6.68 million [86.9%] of 7.69 million deaths attributable to smoking tobacco use were among current smokers. Interpretation In the absence of intervention, the annual toll of 7.69 million deaths and 200 million disability-adjusted life-years attributable to smoking will increase over the coming decades. Substantial progress in reducing the prevalence of smoking tobacco use has been observed in countries from all regions and at all stages of development, but a large implementation gap remains for tobacco control. Countries have a dear and urgent opportunity to pass strong, evidence-based policies to accelerate reductions in the prevalence of smoking and reap massive health benefits for their citizens.

“Criaturas extrañas somos todos”: metamorfosis, posthumanismo y pensamiento del cuerpo en Moho de Paulette Jonguitud Acosta

El objetivo de este artículo es proponer una lectura de la novela breveMoho(2010) de la escritora mexicana Paulette Jonguitud Acosta,a partir de algunasreflexiones sobre la corporalidad queel horizonte posthumanistaha hecho posibles. Si el humanismo postulaba—de manera directa o indirecta—,un tipo de cuerpo privilegiado (varón, heterosexual, blanco, europeo, burgués, etc.), desde una perspectiva posthumanista se pone en crisis ese modelo corporal único y predominante. En este sentido, la metamorfosis del cuerpo de Constanza, protagonista de la obra, permite el despliegue de una serie de (y una meditaciónsobre) otrasposibilidades corporales: animal, monstruo, vegetal, etc.Para el análisis, se empleará fundamentalmentela noción de pensamiento del cuerpopostulada por Julieta Yelin

En el contexto competitivo en el que nos encontramos se puede ver como cada vez se va potenciando algo que viene creciendo desde los últimos 10 años: El comercio electrónico. La percepción positiva de los consumidores sobre el desempeño de los sitios de compra online es un punto clave y no solo se ha convertido en una estrategia, sino que también es un factor diferencial para atraer clientes. En este sentido, explorar la calidad de servicio percibida por los consumidores en diferentes categorías y segmentos se ha convertido en una de las principales preocupaciones por los expertos del marketing.

La antología de relatos Ciudad fantasma: del México prehispánico al caos de la modernidad

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar algunas de las características de los dos volúmenes de la antología Ciudad fantasma. Relato fantástico de la Ciudad de México (XIX-XXI) (2013), compilada por Bernardo Esquinca y Vicente Quirarte. Inicialmente, se revisará la manera de construir lo fantástico a partir de dos aspectos: por un lado, a través de los paratextos más importantes de la obra (prólogos y cartas anexas); por el otro, mediante varios de los elementos que le dan forma como antología propiamente (selección y organización de los textos). Asimismo, señalaremos de manera general otras particularidades de lo fantástico en esta obra. Y una de las más significativas es postular el fenómeno fantástico con base en la irrupción del mundo y de los mitos del México prehispánico en la capital actual
