Educación artística: deconstruir, reconstruir, construir

La educación artística hoy en nuestro país y en el mundo está atravesada por variables que la complejizan. El contexto cultural que la comprende responde a desafíos pero además la enfrenta a cambios que se producen tanto en el arte como en las ciencias sociales ya que encara un nuevo estatus epistemológico. Parte también de diversos enfoques cognitivistas en psicología y responde a nuevas pedagogías tanto en el campo de la educación en general como en el específico y complejo campo de la educación artística. Muchas son las propuestas que en nuestra Universidad de Artes se presentan, a veces asociadas a diversos modelos, teorías y prácticas, algunas de ellas conviviendo con modelos nacidos hace ya muchos años y otras renovadoras que respiran relativismos estéticos y culturales que nos invitan a realizar propuestas pedagógicas reflexivas y críticas frente al impacto de la cultura visual en la que estamos inmersos desde hace ya varios años.Eje temático 1: Perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas.Facultad de Bellas Arte

Albiglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Harmony Outcomes): a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial

Background: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists differ in chemical structure, duration of action, and in their effects on clinical outcomes. The cardiovascular effects of once-weekly albiglutide in type 2 diabetes are unknown. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of albiglutide in preventing cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Methods: We did a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 610 sites across 28 countries. We randomly assigned patients aged 40 years and older with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (at a 1:1 ratio) to groups that either received a subcutaneous injection of albiglutide (30–50 mg, based on glycaemic response and tolerability) or of a matched volume of placebo once a week, in addition to their standard care. Investigators used an interactive voice or web response system to obtain treatment assignment, and patients and all study investigators were masked to their treatment allocation. We hypothesised that albiglutide would be non-inferior to placebo for the primary outcome of the first occurrence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, which was assessed in the intention-to-treat population. If non-inferiority was confirmed by an upper limit of the 95% CI for a hazard ratio of less than 1·30, closed testing for superiority was prespecified. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02465515. Findings: Patients were screened between July 1, 2015, and Nov 24, 2016. 10 793 patients were screened and 9463 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to groups: 4731 patients were assigned to receive albiglutide and 4732 patients to receive placebo. On Nov 8, 2017, it was determined that 611 primary endpoints and a median follow-up of at least 1·5 years had accrued, and participants returned for a final visit and discontinuation from study treatment; the last patient visit was on March 12, 2018. These 9463 patients, the intention-to-treat population, were evaluated for a median duration of 1·6 years and were assessed for the primary outcome. The primary composite outcome occurred in 338 (7%) of 4731 patients at an incidence rate of 4·6 events per 100 person-years in the albiglutide group and in 428 (9%) of 4732 patients at an incidence rate of 5·9 events per 100 person-years in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·78, 95% CI 0·68–0·90), which indicated that albiglutide was superior to placebo (p<0·0001 for non-inferiority; p=0·0006 for superiority). The incidence of acute pancreatitis (ten patients in the albiglutide group and seven patients in the placebo group), pancreatic cancer (six patients in the albiglutide group and five patients in the placebo group), medullary thyroid carcinoma (zero patients in both groups), and other serious adverse events did not differ between the two groups. There were three (<1%) deaths in the placebo group that were assessed by investigators, who were masked to study drug assignment, to be treatment-related and two (<1%) deaths in the albiglutide group. Interpretation: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events. Evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should therefore be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen. Trial Registration: EudraCT number: 2015-000950-39; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02545049

Communication—large electron-hole diffusion lengths in methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite films prepared by an electrochemical-chemical approach

Methylammonium lead triiodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite films were generated by chemical conversion of PbO2 layers electrodeposited over NiO hole selective contact, by simple immersion in CH3NH3I isopropanol solution under ambient conditions. 2.4 μm charge carrier diffusion lengths were measured by surface photovoltage, being these very similar to the size of the as formed perovskite crystals, showing that there are not deleterious encounters with defects or impurities. The electrochemical procedure used here demonstrates the capacity of this technique for the fabrication of perovskite films with large electron-hole diffusion lengths by solution based processes using only water and isopropanol.Fil: Macor, Lorena Paola.

Allogeneic Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplants in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Prepared with Busulfan and Fludarabine (BUFLU) or Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Fludarabine (TBF): A Retrospective Study

: This is a multicenter retrospective comparison of 2 myeloablative conditioning regimens in 454 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission: busulfan (4 days) and fludarabine (BUFLU) versus thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine (TBF). Eligible for this study were patients allografted between January 2008 and December 2018 in 10 transplant centers, with AML in first or second remission: 201 patients received BUFLU, whereas 253 received TBF. The 2 groups (BUFLU and TBF) were comparable for age (P = .13) and adverse AML risk factors (P = .3). The TBF group had more second remissions and more haploidentical grafts. The donor type included HLA-identical siblings, unrelated donors, and family haploidentical donors. The 5-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 19% for BUFLU and 22% for TBF (P = .8), and the 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 30% and 15%, respectively (P = .0004). The 5-year actuarial survival was 51% for BUFLU and 68% for TBF (P = .002). In a multivariate Cox analysis, after correcting for confounding factors, the use of TBF reduced the risk of relapse compared with BUFLU (P = .03) and the risk of death (P = .03). In a matched pair analysis of 108 BUFLU patients matched with 108 TBF patients, with the exclusion of haploidentical grafts, TBF reduced the risk of relapse (P = .006) and there was a trend for improved survival (P = .07). Superior survival of patients receiving TBF as compared with BUFLU is due to a reduced risk of relapse, with comparable NRM. The survival advantage is independent of donor type and AML risk factors

Risco: educação artística: A educação artística enfrenta o risco de desaparecimento gradual do seu habitat da educação formal ao mesmo tempo que a sociedade civil cada vez mais a reclama, no contexto das instituições que dependem do sucesso dos públicos e dos visitantes. Assiste-se a uma contradição de termos que parece ser originária de uma liberalização cognitiva: este parece ser um paradigma para ficar. O neo-liberalismo vigente contribui de modo contraditório. Por um lado, diminui as cargas horárias e extingue disciplinas, expulsa os profissionais artísticos da sala de aula: cada vez há menos horas de contacto de educação artística, do ensino do desenho. Por outro lado, a dependência das lógicas de sponsorização obriga os gestores culturais a urdirem estratégias educativas dirigidas a massas cada vez maiores, a convocarem e a reivindicarem posicionamentos formativos, a procurarem implicar e criar mais audiências. O sistema precisa dos alunos que quer reduzir, numa contradição de termos evidente. O professor de artes, o mediador entre o mundo da arte e a premência educativa vê-se com uma injunção que dele exige uma operatividade quer como pedagogo, quer como artista, integrando várias dimensões numa só, numa incarnação exigente. A educação artística parece depender da criatividade dos seus agentes, da sua mobilização, do seu entusiasmo, da sua competência mobilizadora: os tempos estão adversos ao conformismo e assim se anotam muitas ações desassossegadas e, cremos, implicadas.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Defining Unexpected Strategies to Inhabit Transitional Conflict Spaces

If war has always challenged architecture, threatening its permanence and layering its memory, it composes, at the same time, an important part of the design tradition (B. Cache, 2007). The paper investigates how architecture has tried to overcome this implied ambiguity through a reinterpretation of its own language, in the attempt to inhabit the transitory spaces and extreme conditions produced by the conflict. By comparing two extremely different case studies, the Nevada National Security Site and the villages established by the Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica, the paper underlines how war destructive and fascinating power has been reinterpreted, in the first case in order to attract tourists (A.Santarossa, 2012) or exploited, in the second example, as the pretext to invent an ideal future (N.Srnicek, A.Williams, 2018), within a progressive process of mixing entertainment space and conflict dystopian settings
