V Ljubljani sta med 6. in 8. 11. 2019 potekala 54. srečanje in javni posvet ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe). Srečanje na temo Enojezično testiranje v večjezični realnosti: jezikovne ...ideologije in njihov vpliv na jezikovno testiranje sta organizirala Univerza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta in njen Center za slovenščino kot drugi in tuji jezik pri Oddelku za slovenistiko. V tem okviru je 8. 11. 2019 potekala okrogla miza (Bližnja) srečanja oblikovalcev jezikovne politike. Objavljamo zapis posnetka pogovora sodelujočih na dogodku.
Over the past two decades, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has gained a significant place due to the emergence of innovative tools and improvements in surgical techniques, offering ...comparable efficacy and safety to traditional surgical methods. This review provides an overview of the history of MICS, its current state, and its prospects and highlights its advantages and limitations. Additionally, we highlight the growing trends and potential pathways for the expansion of MICS, underscoring the crucial role of technological advancements in shaping the future of this field. Recognizing the challenges, we strive to pave the way for further breakthroughs in minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
Gabriela Vargas-Cetina and Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz discuss center-periphery inequities within Mexican anthropology from their position at the Autonomous University of Yucatan. Beginning with a brief ...review of the long history of Mexican anthropology as a globalized tradition since its origins, they trace the development of national institutions as nodes of research and advanced training. With the establishment of branches throughout the country, the institutions of the separate states have been marginalized. The disparities in access to resources and influence, along with increasing bureaucratization and an exacerbated audit culture, are certainly not unique to the research and educational system of Mexico. Adapted from the source document.
Here we consider ideas related to walls, roads, bridges, doors and tunnels and the materialities they name as a general frame of reference, to reflect on the manifold relations between imagined ...insides and outsides generally implied when discussing the wall already splitting Mexico and the US, but also regarding Yucatecan identity. We explain the ways in which Yucatecans have often seen themselves as different from “Mexicans” and why. Yucatecans have sometimes expressed the wish to build a wall around the Yucatan peninsula. We propose that such a wish is based on an erroneous perception of Yucatecans as intrinsically better people than non-Yucatecans, upholding ideals of “peacefulness” and “goodness,” and on the rhetorical inclusion of all inhabitants of the Yucatan peninsula within an imagined single “Yucatan.” Yet the wished-for Yucatecan unity is impeded by the current political and identity divisions within the Yucatan peninsula, which comprises three different states, each with its own economy, specific regional identities, and its own internal problems. We believe that to make Yucatan more inclusive, Yucatecans ought to start imagining more and better roads and bridges.
Under neoliberalism, at least in Mexico, education has been recast as a service that is to be sold for money, and not as a right of all Mexicans. The economy itself is now seen as a services economy, ...where everything is expected to make money. Here we reflect on some of the implications of current education reforms on our work at the Autonomous University of Yucatan.
Anthropology and the Politics of Representation examines the inherently problematic nature of representation and description of living people, specifically in ethnography and more generally in ...anthropological work as a whole.   In Anthropology and the Politics of Representation volume editor Gabriela Vargas-Cetina brings together a group of international scholars who, through their fieldwork experiences, reflect on the epistemological, political, and personal implications of their own work. To do so, they focus on such topics as ethnography, anthropologists’ engagement in identity politics, representational practices, the contexts of anthropological research and work, and the effects of personal choices regarding self-involvement in local causes that may extend beyond purely ethnographic goals.   Such reflections raise a number of ethnographic questions: What are ethnographic goals? Who sets the agenda for ethnographic writing? How does fieldwork change the anthropologist’s identity? Do ethnography and ethnographers have an impact on local lives and self-representation? How do anthropologists balance longheld respect for cultural diversity with advocacy for local people? How does an author choose what to say and write, and what not to disclose? Should anthropologists support causes that may require going against their informed knowledge of local lives? Contributors Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz / Beth A. Conklin / Les W.

En este ensayo proponemos que es necesario repensar los modelos que actualmente utilizamos para pensar en modernidad, posmodernidad y tradición. Queremos argumentar que la familia de conceptos ...posmodernidad, posmodernismo y posmodernización tiene sentido como equivalente a otras familias en las que el eje puede ser constituido sea por modernidad, modernidad reflexiva, modernidad tardía, alta modernidad, hipermodernidad o supermodernidad.
Three pyridine derivatives, 4-(methoxymethyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (
1), 4-(methoxymethyl)-6-methyl-5-nitro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (
2) and ...4-(methoxymethyl)-1,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (
3) have been synthesized, and their structural features have been studied by IR and electronic spectroscopy. The optical properties were investigated by UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence spectra of compounds have been recorded in two protic and two aprotic solvents in the range of 200–600
nm. The effects of substituents on the emission spectra of these compounds are interpreted. The structures of compounds
2 and
3 were also confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction method.
