( Socorro Del Pilar Jimenez Alvarez ) 고려대학교 스페인·라틴아메리카연구소 2014 스페인라틴아메리카연구 Vol.7 No.2

El trabajo que a continuacion se presenta, es el resultado de la investigacion etnografica de campo realizada en Ejido Lacandon durante el 2014. Este poblado se localiza en la llamada zona de influencia de la Selva Lacandona. En este lugar se registro la tecnologia alfarera relacionada con los procesos productivos de suministro, preparacion de la arcilla, modo de elaboracion y quema de los objetos domesticos. El uso de la materia prima local se relaciona con factores ambientales y culturales. La preparacion de la arcilla se relaciona con conocimientos aprendidos en el contexto sociocultural. En el modo de elaboracion de los objetos y la quema aun se practica de manera tradicional. Al final del escrito se hace reflexion acerca de la tecnologia alfarera de produccion y uso del lugar investigado como evento de aculturacion comunitaria. Tambien se hace hincapie en las diferencias de lo tangible e intangible asi la interrelacion existente en los terminos de produccion y uso. Etnias, migraciones y contextos historicos permiten explicar la variacion en el uso de la tecnologia domestica a traves del tiempo.

Sterculia apetala (order: Malvales, family: Sterculiaceae) seed oil contains two cyclopropene fatty acids: sterculic and malvalic acid. Both positive and negative effects have been associated with the consumption of sterculic oil. In Mexico, S. apetala seeds are consumed after being boiled or roasted, used as chocolate flavoring, and utilized as animal fodder. Therefore, it is important to evaluate whether the consumption of this seed has a negative impact on the organism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of administration of sterculic oil, during an 8-week period, on anxiety-like behavior and spontaneous locomotor activity in Zucker rats, analyzed through light/dark and open-field tests. The results showed that the consumption of sterculic oil decreased exploration latency in light/dark tests, which suggests an anxiolytic-like effect. Alterations in time spent on rearing and grooming were present in open-field tests, but this was not statistically significant, discarding nonspecific motor alterations. The alterations found in this study are possibly related to intrinsic obesity and metabolic complications present in the Zucker rat model, where leptin plays an important role in animal mood, more so than sterculic oil consumption.

Shifting of Farmers` Interest from Coconut to Other Crops

( Socorro Sofia L Pueblo ),( Randy A. Tudy ) 한국행정학회 2016 한국행정학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.2016 No.-

The growth and success in agricultural sector largely depends on the timely and strategic intervention of the government. The Philippines continues to suffer the loss of coconut trees as farmers convert their coconut into other crops. The purpose of this study is to understand the trends in the shifting of interest of farmers from coconut cultivation to other crops in Davao del Norte Province, Philippines. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological research design. Ten farmers, four males and six females who are previous owners and farmers of coconut farms, willingly responded and answered questions during the conduct of Key Informant Interviews (KIIs).Findings of the study showed that the common reasons of farmers from shifting to other crops were the following: freedom from debts, better quality of life, new business entrepreneurship, low price of coconuts, and increased buying power. As to their insights and learning, the participants shared the following: become employees of their own farm, forced conversion to other crops, necessity of government intervention, and availability of credit line. The implication of the study is for the government to aggressively address the problems of coconut farmers and provide immediate remedy and support.

Re-encodation of GUMIL Hawaii Writers’ Association as a Diacritic Site for Ilocano Hawaiian Representation

Maria Socorro Q,Perez 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2017 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.7 No.1

The Filipino immigrants in Hawaii, particularly the Ilocanos, an ethnolinguistic group coming from the Northern part of the Philippines write not only narratives about their diasporic lives but work towards redefinition of themselves through GUMIL Hawaii writing. The study particularly recuperates and re-encodes GUMIL Hawaii (a collective writers’ association), as a diacritic site and discourse in the reterritorialization and contestation of space in multiethnic Hawaii and US as a monologic culture. Thus, the very contour that Ilocano-Hawaiian diasporic writing takes, through GUMIL Hawaii writers’ association is reactive and largely determined by their history as US’s colonial and neocolonial subjects, their history as sugar plantation labor, the pressures and specificities of Hawaii as a host culture and more broadly, America’s ideological imperatives and dehistoricizing logic.

The Visual Acuity of Filipino German Women’s Facebooks

Maria Socorro Q. Perez Academy of Mobility Humanities 2022 Mobility Humanities Vol.1 No.1

Facebook, an online social media and networking site, offers services that can tremendously transform contemporary lives and the identity Facebook users project to the public. Its visual capability is so powerful that it can easily supplant a voluble written statement. The visual acuity that is enabled by Facebook technology is a dead-on centre by its eloquence, rendering affordances to some Filipino-German women, the subject of the study. It is this visual capability that is appropriated by them. There are tens of thousands of Filipino women married to German nationals contracted through international marriage social media agencies and sites or informal modes of marriage arrangements. Such transnational marriages have enabled their diaspora, rendering the mobilisation of lives. This notion of mobility through transnational marriage unions is taken a step further by Filipino-German women through their appropriation of Facebook technology, mobilising it to construct narratives of their lives. Using Tim Cresswell’s politics of mobility, John Urry’s metaphors of mobilities, and John Bollmer’s notion of identity and the social media, the paper decodes their Facebook posts to read representations of themselves as cosmopolitan transnationals, both “corporeally and in a virtual sense,” amidst hostile immigration systems that “police” movement and the crossing of borders.

Obesity and Breast Cancer: The Role of Crown-Like Structures in Breast Adipose Tissue in Tumor Progression, Prognosis, and Therapy

Obesity is associated with increased risk and aggressiveness of many types of cancer. Women with obesity and breast cancer are more likely to be diagnosed with larger and higher-grade tumors and have higher incidence of metastases than lean individuals. Increasing evidence indicates that obesity includes systemic, chronic low-grade inflammation, and that adipose tissue can act as an important endocrine site, secreting a variety of substances that may regulate inflammation, immune response, and cancer predisposition. Obesity-associated inflammation appears to be initially mediated by macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue. Macrophages can surround damaged or necrotic adipocytes, forming “crown-like” structures (CLS). CLS are increased in breast adipose tissue from breast cancer patients and are more abundant in patients with obesity conditions. Moreover, the CLS index-ratio from individuals with obesity seems to influence breast cancer recurrence rates and survival. In this review, we discuss the most recent cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in CLS establishment in the white adipose tissue of women with obesity and their implications for breast cancer biology. We also explain how CLS influence the tumor microenvironment and affect breast cancer behavior. Targeting breast adipose tissue CLS can be a crucial therapeutic tool in cancer treatment, especially in patients with obesity.

La vivencia generacional no es la misma, pero a todos nos concierne. Lo mismo sucede con lieux de m?moire [lugares de memoria], que Nora impregno a los textos -con este termino-, fomentando las discusiones sobre el tema el concepto sufrio una mutacion, adhiriendose a los acontecimientos conmemorativos, el mismo se encargo de cuestionarlo. La intencion sigue viva. El pasado tiene muchos nombres. Clara Sanchez acerca a la generacion que se pregunta: ¿que tengo que ver con eso?, por medio de los lugares, modos y factos de un espacio social; una narracion para la memoria colectiva e individual, inevitablemente con un fondo historico.
