When in the second half of the 20th century the Galician urban peripheries were filled with slums, massive rehousing, although insufficient and fragmented, was applied to new absorption-neighborhoods. Roma families were relegated to later relocations and special solutions in segregative actions that make up the territorial expression of historical structural anti-Gypsyism. This article analyzes the role of public institutions in the production of these segregated sub-housing settlements that reproduce the mechanisms of coloniality applied to the territory and inhabiting. In addition, the methodological approaches applied to the study of these precarious settlements are presented, identifying the absences that we must overcome and confront, both in theoretical and practical aspects. ; Cuando en la segunda mitad del siglo XX las periferias urbanas gallegas se colmataron de chabolas se aplicaron realojos masivos, aunque insuficientes y fragmentados, en nuevos barrios de absorción. Las familias gitanas quedaron relegadas a realojos posteriores y a soluciones especiales en actuaciones segregativas que componen la expresión territorial del antigitanismo estructural histórico. En este artículo se analiza el papel de las instituciones públicas en la producción de estos asentamientos segregados de infravivienda que reproducen los mecanismos de colonialidad aplicados al territorio y el habitar. Además, se presentan las aproximaciones metodológicas aplicadas al estudio de estos asentamientos precarios identificando las ausencias que debemos superar y confrontar, tanto en los aspectos teóricos como prácticos.

PURPOSE: High frequency of cataracts and the requirements of new European Union regulations for medical devices require the availability of preclinical models to adequately evaluate anterior lens capsule dyes before their use in patients. Herein, we describe an ex vivo method to quantifiably evaluate the macroscopic and microscopic staining effectiveness of anterior lens capsule dyes using porcine eyes. METHODS: Commercially available trypan blue–based products or physiological saline solution (negative control) was injected into porcine eyes. Anterior pole and lens (after extraction) were macroscopically photographed, and the images were quantitatively analyzed. Lenses were histologically processed, and the staining intensity microscopically was semiquantified. RESULTS: Macroscopic evaluation of the anterior pole revealed bluish staining of the anterior capsule; however, this coloring cannot be macroscopically discerned after lens extraction. Quantitative image analyses showed significant (P 0.05) between the products tested. Quantitative analysis of dying on lens images could not be performed. Microscopic semiquantification of the capsule staining intensity allows us to appreciate differences between products. CONCLUSIONS: The described method is a quick and useful tool for macroscopic evaluation by surgeons to choose an anterior capsule staining for use during everyday surgeries, and a more specific microscopic evaluation also allows us to determine the effectiveness and usefulness of these products. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: This method satisfies preclinical effectiveness evaluations required by European Union regulations and complements the safety and toxicity evaluations that new products must guarantee before they enter the market and are used in clinical practice.

Inspired by artist Otobong Nkanga?s suggestion that ?caring is a form of resistance?, this pioneering book will highlight the ways in which artists are helping to reframe and deepen our psychological and spiritual responses to the climate crisis.00Essays by Rachel Thomas, Maja Fowkes and Reuben Fowkes, and Rebecca Solnit explore work by the 14 featured international artists; the history of climate-concerned art; and the role art has to play in climate activism today. After a series of short essays on each of the featured artists, a ?tapestry? of texts ? old and new ? weaves together the voices of the artists in the exhibition with other practitioners from the worlds of literature and ecology.00The book?s unique take on the climate crisis is the connection between activism, care and hope, explored through the work of leading contemporary artists. As well as the text ?tapestry?, mentioned above, we have been given licence to publish a new text by Greta Thunberg, based on her recent keynote speech delivered at the Southbank Centre in 2022.00Exhibition: Hayward Gallery, London, UK (21.06. - 03.09.2023)
