This article aims to assess the ten years (2015-2024) of Chinese investments in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and analyze its geoeconomic significance for Beijing. The methodology of this article uses the conceptual model of security rings, based on geoeconomic premises, highlighting the use of economic tools to achieve political and strategic objectives. The official database of the corridor is utilized, mapping the value and quantity of completed projects. It is concluded that this corridor is, to a large extent, being underutilized and that its implementation is delayed, but it holds strategic importance for all of China's security rings.

The concept of “ontological security” has been explored in International Relations fromdifferent perspectives. The aim of this article was to examine this literature based on thecontributions of María Lugones and Gloria Anzaldúa. Through reflections on the “fracturedlocus” and “intimate terrorism,” the role of identity in the construction of the conceptand in the search for ontological security was questioned. It was argued that the idea of“ontological (in)security” reproduces a colonial and patriarchal logic of fixed identitiesand subject classification. The search for “security of being” makes the experiences of“fractured” bodies invisible, legitimizing the criminalization and elimination of differences.

O BRICS é um fenômeno complexo, marcado pela sua heterogeneidade interna. Contudo,há uma identidade coletiva que define e influencia as identidades e interesses de seusmembros. O artigo analisa essa construção identitária a partir dos cinco membros originais,com base nos quatro tipos de identidade de Wendt (1999), além de dados políticos, sociais,econômicos e as declarações de cúpula. Concluí que a identidade coletiva do BRICS contribuipara a superação de diferenças entre os membros sem impor constrangimentos a açõesindependentes — ainda que essas influenciem a consolidação de uma identidade coletivae sejam influenciadas por ela.

The study contrasts Brazilian Antarctic science and diplomacy, focusing on Itamaraty’sAntarctic Treaty System involvement. The Institutional Engagement Model evaluates MRE’sAntarctic organizational and normative attitudes. This model combines Allison and Zelikow’s(1999) organizational process analysis with the institutionalization of ideas and valuesthrough diplomatic agent selection, training, and advancement and the standardization ofapplicable standard operating procedures and standards. Under this paradigm, BrazilianAntarctic diplomacy is hampered by frequent turnover, insufficient specialization, limitedresources, and a utilitarian approach to science, according to the paper.

Federico Garcia Lorca was a Spanish poet and playwright linked to the so­called Generation of 27, who was assassinated at the beginning of the Civil War in 1936, at a very young age. Even so, his work was prolific and widely acknowledged as one of the most important poets of the Spanish language. In this article we approach his children's poetry through its graceful charm and the sonority implicit in it, as well as three poems to which I wrote music.

History, a science that enables societies to understand their evolution, strengthen their identity, and gain selfknowledge, plays a crucial role in shaping the consciousness of professionals in various disciplines.Its study requires rigorous methods that guarantee the accuracy of the facts and their indepth analysis in social, cultural, political, and economic contexts, offering a broad view of the world and, in some cases, delegitimizing or legitimizing social structures. Historical research, as a science, applies scientific methods that can range from searching for sources to constructing explanatory models, highlighting the dynamic interaction between the past, present, and what might be expected in the future. In this context, the history of science and professions emerges as a field that explores the trajectory of scientific and technological knowledge in its intrinsic relationship with environmental factors, giving way to the most modern vision of the history and sociology of science, which allows for an understanding of the importance of professional action in the processes of construction and transformation of society. Thus, we take a stroll through the history of science in Venezuela and, in particular, through the historiography of veterinary medicine in this country.

The main objective of this article is to socialize advances on a critical review of musical biography in Colombia and the rest of Latin America from musicology, to determine the current perspectives of parameters within their methodologies and narratives. The approach used here is qualitative research, through the critical review of sources with a view predominantly from historical musicology. The relevance of this article sustains in the opening of the expository and methodological canons that have emerged from musicology, thanks to the current challenges and questions proposed by researchers around the life stories of musicians, teachers, composers and managers within the territorial and local contexts of Latin America. The main conclusions regarding the clarity of some multidisciplinary theories and methodologies that can be adapted to the current perspective in Latin America would be those raised in this bibliographic review: by Waisman, “The decomposition of the subject into multiple, changing and contingent identities.” From González, the interrelation and constant dialogue of the macrostory with the microstories, creating the concept of “Located Popular Music” as a historical subject within musicology. From Merino and Musri, the musical work as text and production, circulation and reception as context. From Mesa, the network of connections between the different local, regional and national dynamics, at a historical and musical level. Of course from Madrid, the antibographical character that deconstructs and gives a new air to the biographical genre within musicology.

We present the results of a research whose objective is: to carry out a phenomenological hermeneutic study of female selfleadership, seen from the empowerment of seven Venezuelan migrant women living in the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica, born in the 20th century between the 1930s and the 1990s. Regarding the hermeneutic horizon, these women exercise selfleadership from the use of gestalt intelligence in challenging sociohistorical contexts.In the methodological approach, the triangulation of methods was used to adapt to the specificities of the versions of the interviewees as units of analysis to achieve an understanding of the action of human life from the experience of these migrants.It is concluded that the way emotions are managed makes a difference in the resilience and empowerment of these women without ageism.
