El trabajo analiza la relación entre los conceptos de alienación y cosificación en torno a sus nexos con el problema de la racionalidad. La hipótesis que guía la reflexión sostiene que aquellos ...aspectos de la racionalidad que se identifican como suprimidos por los procesos de alienación y cosificación, persisten latentes en la experiencia estética. Desde ese punto de partida, el desarrollo se detiene en tres cuestiones fundamentales: el análisis de los principales componentes de las teorías de la alienación y la cosificación, su vínculo con el problema de la racionalidad en los términos de la primera generación de Frankfurt y las posibilidades y límites de la dimensión estética del hombre como parte integrante de la propuesta de una racionalidad “ampliada” que —desde la teoría de Marcuse— retoma conceptos centrales del pensamiento de Schiller.
El presente trabajo propone comprender la teoría de Marcuse sobre el arte y la tecnología como parte de su teoría de la racionalidad social. En ese marco, las lógicas de la tecnología y del arte ...aparecen como modos opuestos de configurar esa racionalidad, a la vez que como medios de dominación o emancipación, respectivamente. Mientras que la lógica tecnológica da lugar a la pérdida del poder de negación y a la tesis marcuseana del hombre unidimensional, la experiencia estética vinculada al arte restaura una racionalidad ampliada que, al incluir el orden de la sensibilidad, habilita una posibilidad para el cambio social.
The role of children in household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains unclear. We describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of ...children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Catalonia, Spain, and investigate the household transmission dynamics.
A prospective, observational, multicenter study was performed during summer and school periods (1 July 2020-31 October 2020) to analyze epidemiological and clinical features and viral household transmission dynamics in COVID-19 patients aged <16 years. A pediatric index case was established when a child was the first individual infected. Secondary cases were defined when another household member tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 before the child. The secondary attack rate (SAR) was calculated, and logistic regression was used to assess associations between transmission risk factors and SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The study included 1040 COVID-19 patients. Almost half (47.2%) were asymptomatic, 10.8% had comorbidities, and 2.6% required hospitalization. No deaths were reported. Viral transmission was common among household members (62.3%). More than 70% (756/1040) of pediatric cases were secondary to an adult, whereas 7.7% (80/1040) were index cases. The SAR was significantly lower in households with COVID-19 pediatric index cases during the school period relative to summer (P = .02) and compared to adults (P = .006). No individual or environmental risk factors associated with the SAR.
Children are unlikely to cause household COVID-19 clusters or be major drivers of the pandemic, even if attending school. Interventions aimed at children are expected to have a small impact on reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare but severe disease temporarily related to SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory findings of ...all MIS-C cases diagnosed in children < 18 years old in Catalonia (Spain) to study their trend throughout the pandemic. This was a multicenter ambispective observational cohort study (April 2020–April 2022). Data were obtained from the COVID-19 Catalan surveillance system and from all hospitals in Catalonia. We analyzed MIS-C cases regarding SARS-CoV-2 variants for demographics, symptoms, severity, monthly MIS-C incidence, ratio between MIS-C and accumulated COVID-19 cases, and associated rate ratios (RR). Among 555,848 SARS-CoV-2 infections, 152 children were diagnosed with MIS-C. The monthly MIS-C incidence was 4.1 (95% CI: 3.4–4.8) per 1,000,000 people, and 273 (95% CI: 230–316) per 1,000,000 SARS-CoV-2 infections (i.e., one case per 3,700 SARS-CoV-2 infections). During the Omicron period, the MIS-C RR was 8.2 (95% CI: 5.7–11.7) per 1,000,000 SARS-CoV-2 infections, which was significantly lower (
p
< 0.001) than that for previous variant periods in all age groups. The median IQR age of MIS-C was 8 4–11 years, 62.5% male, and 80.2% without comorbidities. Common symptoms were gastrointestinal findings (88.2%) and fever > 39 °C (81.6%); nearly 40% had an abnormal echocardiography, and 7% had coronary aneurysm. Clinical manifestations and laboratory data were not different throughout the variant periods (
p
> 0.05).
Conclusion
: The RR between MIS-C cases and SARS-CoV-2 infections was significantly lower in the Omicron period for all age groups, including those not vaccinated, suggesting that the variant could be the main factor for this shift in the MISC trend. Regardless of variant type, the patients had similar phenotypes and severity throughout the pandemic.
What is Known:
•
Before our study, only two publications investigated the incidence of MIS-C regarding SARS-CoV-2 variants in Europe, one from Southeast England and another from Denmark.
What is New:
•
To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating MIS-C incidence in Southern Europe, with the ability to recruit all MIS-C cases in a determined area and analyze the rate ratio for MIS-C among SARS-CoV-2 infections throughout variant periods.
•
We found a lower rate ratio of MISC/infections with SARS-CoV-2 in the Omicron period for all age groups, including those not eligible for vaccination, suggesting that the variant could be the main factor for this shift in the MISC trend.
