A Multimodal Analysis Of Conflicting Discourses On New Mexican Identity, Nicholas L. Chavez, Fátima Holguín

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

We analyze two contrasting discourses on New Mexican identity, as represented in political cartoons from Trever (2021) and García (2018). We show how visual and linguistic elements of the cartoons work together to construct identity through metaphor and metonymy. It was found that Trever (2021) relied on cultural symbols such as the Zia Sun symbol as metonyms for various aspects of New Mexico’s identity, while García (2018) subverted established metaphors for American culture such as the melting pot and Uncle Sam to critique governmental influence on Nuevomexicano (‘New Mexican’) identity formation. Using the critical discourse analysis framework of Fairclough (1995), …

México Sin Fronteras. Teoría Fronteriza Y Lo Irrepresentable De Los Límites Cartográficos, Rob Lassche

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Ante una renovada atención en los asuntos acerca de la frontera en la política actual, como un viejo debate en la crítica chicana/latinoamericana sobre los límites geográfico-culturales de América Latina, este ensayo presenta una breve revisión teórica de algunas de las distintas conceptualizaciones que se han dado en esa área a lo largo del último medio siglo. Al atravesar las perspectivas de Américo Paredes y Gloria Anzaldúa, considero que, antes de la popularización de conceptos como el transnacionalismo o el posnacionalismo, se pueden identificar dos vertientes principales en el acercamiento a la presencia mexicana en territorio estadounidense; por un lado, …

Filiación De Período De La Celestina. Un Análisis Temático Cuantitativo, Rubria Rocha De Luna

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Este artículo tiene como propósito utilizar una metodología cuantitativa de las Humanidades Digitales como un acercamiento diferente al estudio de la filiación de período de La Celestina. Hasta el momento, autores como Claudia Raposo, P.E. Russell, Rosa Navarro y Yolanda Iglesias, han comparado a La Celestina con textos de la Edad Media y han encontrado paralelos entre ambos. Por otro lado, teóricos como D.W. McPheeters, Michael Gerli, Ranka Minic-Vidovic, Laura Puerto y Emma Gatland, por nombrar algunos, encuentran características de género y temática de la obra que la podrían ubicar más cercana al período renacentista. Y otros autores como Ivy …

The two researchers employed a descriptive correlational approach. The research population consists of (175) fourth-grade students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Wasit University, for the academic year (2025–2026). A random sample of (150) students was selected, while (20) students …

The Effect Of Strength Training On The Development Of Selected Core Muscles And Arm Strength In Young Boxers Aged 17–18 Years, Abbas Tawfeeq Mansoor

Modern Sport

This study aimed to investigate the effect of strength training on the development of selected core muscles and arm strength in young boxers. Boxers utilize maximum and fastest arm punches and core movements to achieve optimal performance against their opponents in bouts. Despite the importance of these elements, variations in specific strength levels are observed among young boxers aged 17–18 years. The problem lies in the fact that traditional training may not adequately or specifically focus on the "selected core muscles" that support dynamic balance during a fight, or on the link between core strength development and increased arm strength …

Associations among body mass index (BMI), corneal biomechanical parameters, topographic parameters, and KC were analyzed using generalized linear regression models. SEM was used to construct latent variables for corneal biomechanical and topographic parameters. Three …

“El Hijo Del Vampiro”: Crítica A La Tradición Y Al Sistema Patriarcal, Arely Orozco Ramirez

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

“El hijo del vampiro” de Julio Cortázar es una obra gótica que enmarca y destaca las características del vampiro clásico dentro de la literatura. A través del cuento, Cortázar crítica al sistema patriarcal mediante personajes como Duggu Van, símbolo del patriarcado, el cual abusa sexualmente de Lady Vanda. La violencia física, sistemática y simbólica son ejecutadas por dicho personaje a lo largo del cuento. La historia refleja cómo los roles de género tradicionales perpetúan la misoginia, y cómo esta es heredada en el hijo vampírico, fruto de la violación entre Duggu Van hacia Lady Vanda.

Lo Femenino Más Allá De Lo Materno. Vínculos Y Rupturas En Animales Domésticos (2003) De Marta Sanz, Alessia De Filippis

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

El presente artículo se dedica a indagar las ambivalencias de la experiencia maternal y el deterioro de las relaciones maternofiliales a partir del retrato crudo e incómodo que Sanz ofrece en las páginas de Animales domésticos (2003). Como es notorio, el papel de la madre abnegada y cuidadosa es el que tradicionalmente se ha asignado a las mujeres. Se presupone que el instinto materno emerge de manera natural y se espera que la experiencia de la maternidad constituye una fuente de gratificación incondicional, excluyendo toda posibilidad de ambivalencia emocional. En consecuencia, se alimenta una visión colectiva de la maternidad evidentemente …

Most In Massachusetts Say Starting Iran Conflict Was Wrong Decision, Approval Of Trump Remains Low 6/29/2026, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Seven in ten Massachusetts residents say the U.S. made the wrong decision to attack Iran, in the wake of an announcement of a memorandum of understanding to halt the conflict. Most Bay Staters doubt the two countries will reach an agreement to end the conflict and most oppose restarting military operations against Iran if no deal is reached on their nuclear program. President Trump's overall job approval remains low in the state and only a quarter believe the country is on the right track.

Operationalizing Supply-Chain Hygiene In Graduate Is Education: A Hands-On Module For Secure Software And Ai/Ml Pipelines, Dominic A. Wilson

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

Supply-chain attacks (including typosquatting, dependency confusion, compromised builds, dataset poisoning, and backdoored models) pose growing threats to analytics platforms central to Information Systems (IS). While frameworks like the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) offer guidance, IS curricula often lack accessible, infrastructure-light modules that build practical skills for mitigating these risks. This experience report presents a two-week module embedded in a graduate Secure Coding course required for a Master’s in Applied Security and Analytics degree. The module operationalizes secure development habits across both traditional software and machine learning (ML) pipelines. The module addresses a …

The Nist Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework: Adoption Challenges And Opportunities, Gillian Kennedy, Devin Patel, Humza Sheikh, Paul Wagner, Robert J. Honomichl

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being adopted at an exponential rate to improve efficiency, decision-making, and cybersecurity, but its rapid integration introduces new and often poorly understood risks, including system errors, algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, security vulnerabilities, and ethical dilemmas. This paper examines how organizations are implementing AI and evaluates the National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Risk Management Framework (NIST AI RMF) as a tool for managing these risks. It reviews the benefits of AI adoption alongside the risks emerging from its use in business and broader society and examines the legal and ethical challenges organizations face when …

[Early Bird] The Texas Common Ownership Litigation: Sustainability, Competition, And The Boundaries Of Asset Manager Capitalism, Federico Ghezzi

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

This article analyzes the recent attempt by the Texas Attorney General to invoke the common ownership doctrine as a new antitrust weapon against large institutional investors allegedly engaged in coordinated ESG strategies. The case represents a peculiar reversal of the traditional logic of the theory: rather than being used to constrain horizontal shareholdings that may reduce competition, common ownership is deployed here to challenge collective action aimed at promoting environmental sustainability. The paper situates this development within the broader debate on the anticompetitive effects of horizontal ownership, briefly examining the economic assumptions underlying the theory, the limits of its empirical …

Empowering Digital Transformation In Human Resource Management: Overcoming Barriers And Treating Paradoxes In The Manufacturing Sector, Lukáš Danko, Lucie Hrbáčková, Jana Matošková, Aleš Gregar

European Management Studies

Purpose: This paper investigates the multifaceted barriers to digitalization of the HRM and explores the paradoxes that arise between technological advancement and organizational culture.

Design/methodology/approach: Based on semi-structured interviews with HR directors from manufacturing firms, this qualitative inquiry employs thematic analysis to identify recurring themes and construct a typology of integration barriers. The Critical Incident Technique (CIT) anchors narratives in real events, while thematic analysis enables abstraction across cases of digitalization of the HRM.

Findings: The findings reveal three critical areas related to (1) organizational resistance rooted in cultural inertia, (2) misalignment between digital strategy and HR processes, and (3) …

Coupled Multiphysics Transport-Reaction Modeling Framework For Combustion Synthesis Of Cement Phases: Insights Into Β-C2s Formation And Wavefront Dynamics, Sayee Srikarah Volaity, Shubham Agrawal, Aditya Kumar, Narayanan Neithalath

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Biofuel-based combustion synthesis (BCS) processes offer low-temperature, low-carbon routes to lime and clinker production. However, they involve tightly coupled interactions between heat transfer, gas flow, and sequential solid-state reactions within reactive pellets. Experiments typically provide surface temperature evolution and final phase assemblages but give limited insight into the conversion process and the interaction between composition and process conditions. A coupled transport-reaction framework is developed here to resolve this limitation─the synthesis of β-C2S (belite), a major cementing phase, serving as an example. Transient conservation equations for energy, momentum, and species are solved for a porous pellet exchanging heat and mass with …
