Chenjiagou: la historia de la Aldea del Taiji

Este artículo explora cómo diversos factores políticos, sociales, y ambientales ayudaron a moldear el taijiquan en el lugar de nacimiento de este arte, Chenjiagou. Considerando el impacto de algunas de las principales figuras históricas del Chen taijiquan y examinando el contexto social donde éstas operaron, podemos comprender mejor la evolución del sistema. La investigación comprendió un cierto número de visitas a Chenjiagou, donde el autor entrevistó a varios de los maestros más destacados del Estilo Chen, así como un examen de literatura publicada sobre el taijiquan y de comentarios políticos y económicos de más amplio espectro. La revisión de la literatura incluyó tanto estudios históricos como contemporáneos. A pesar de la intromisión exterior, de las grandes adversidades sociales y económicas, y de los inevitables cambios en los estilos de vida, la aldea Chenjiagou han logrado aferrarse a sus tradiciones marciales y parece preparada para un brillante futuro en el s. XXI

Current evidence on the use of the adalimumab biosimilar SB5 (ImraldiTM): a multidisciplinary perspective

This review provides an overview of data from trials and real-world studies available for SB5 (ImraldiTM) across three main therapeutic areas: rheumatology, gastroenterology, and dermatology. Areas covered A literature search for publications on data for SB5 efficacy/effectiveness, safety, and immunogenicity was undertaken. Expert opinion, Evidence derived from clinical studies suggest that the biosimilar SB5 is a safe and effective alternative to reference adalimumab. Considering that patients suffering from immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis often require long-term biologic treatment, biosimilar medicines (such as SB5) can reduce healthcare costs while increasing access to effective treatment

Peak event: the rise, crisis and potential decline of the Olympic Games and the World Cup

This paper tracks the growth of two of the largest tourist events: the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup, drawing on a dataset containing all events between 1964 and 2018. Overall, the size of the three events has grown about 60-fold over the past 50 years, thirteen times faster than world GDP. We identify an S-shaped growth curve and four different growth periods, with an emergent crisis phase in the late 2010s that may have brought us to ‘peak event’ – the point at which these events have reached their largest size. Outlining three different scenarios, we argue that the Olympics and the World Cup are at a critical bifurcation point, which also requires new bidding and hosting policies
