This article explores the significant potential of public space as a context for collective interaction, where community art processes can promote situated learning. In these circumstances, the boundaries of conventional educational classrooms and museum white cubes are dissolved, expanding the possibilities for generating knowledge in experiential, cooperative, intergenerational, and transdisciplinary ways. Framed by Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory, the article aims to contribute to its practical application in the field of design by presenting strategies implemented in the architectural project Tejiendo la calle. These strategies are linked to four essential actions to generate meaningful experiences through creative processes in specific socio-cultural contexts: building community, creating the right circumstances, fostering diversity, and mending the landscape.

This text-textile offers a situated reflection on textile creation practices as embodied knowledge and as forms of micropolitical, affective, and epistemological recomposition. From a feminist perspective and grounded in our trajectories as researchers and textileras (textile makers), we approach textiles as both material metaphors and sensitive technologies that enable thinking–enacting other relations between bodies, materials, and knowledges. The text is organized into three stitches: (1) textiles in everyday life as practices of the common; (2) touch as an epistemic gesture and the agency of textile matter; and (3) the dissident temporalities enabled by these practices. The text is fashioned as a gesture of disciplinary overflow that challenges established fields of knowledge and design. As a transformative practice, textile work allows for imagining modes of collaborative creation where knowledge becomes body, rhythm, and connection. This text is a work-in-progress fabric, open to further elaboration.

This article presents a reflection on what it means to educate and how to incorporate ecological issues into architectural practices. It analyzes the experience of an architecture course that simulates interspecies cohabitation processes as attempts at bioremediation in degraded territories, where each designed artifact is not a simple object but vibrant matter that cooperates with a certain degree of responsiveness within the group. The method explores co-design strategies; incorporates play as a way of ‘engaging with’ the landscape; explores the relationship between fabrication techniques and design; and applies kinetic principles to simulate life in the models created. The resulting companion species are assessed through the ecopoethics proposed by Puig de la Bellacasa. The importance of the classroom as a co-production framework, informed by perspectives from science and technology studies, feminism, and environmental humanities, is highlighted.

This article aims to present the notion of maraña (tangle), a concept useful for addressing the complexities inherent in a world in crisis, where practices, relationships, meanings, and materialities have become so intertwined that traditional design approaches and related disciplines fall short in adequately understanding social phenomena. Through an analysis of the Mauricio Fredes Memorial―raised to preserve the remembrance of a protester who died as a result of the repression during Chile’s 2019 social outburst―we propose an entangled reading of the site, identifying its components, aesthetics, practices, and relationships with its surroundings. The main findings highlight how this Memorial aligns with remembrance practices associated with human rights violations in recent history, and how, through an insurgent co-design logic, the site integrates material and symbolic elements of the revolt into public space.

Vienna is one of the first cities to regulate the preservation of existing urban ecosystems, even granting legal status to some places abandoned by humans―where nature has freely emerged―, thereby ensuring coexistence with the inhabiting species. This article aims to clarify how this achievement is motivated by the intertwining of spontaneous, creative, and affirmative experiences in some of these places―such as the North Station―and the Europan Architectural Competition. This contest introduces, first, the theoretical framework that values these experiences and then institutionalizes the lessons learned from them in its new editions. Thus, this text portrays, in three acts, the Europan competition and Vienna as institutions and laboratories―of ideas and sympoietic practices, respectively―that think and design reciprocally.

We approach design practices as practices of re-composition that ‘design’ encounters between entities with lives, interests, risks, materialities, politics, scales, and temporalities that are highly heterogeneous. This proposal draws attention to the responsibility of design in a world marked by an increasing ecosocial crisis, which demands not so much an improvement in our ability to design for others, but rather to live with others ‘through’ design. We will meet with disobedient ants, cultural management, invasive plants, ancestral knowledges, unstable amphibians, women’s communities, changing climates, Indigenous peoples, environments, and publics that—all together—design a ‘we’ that is always in formation, affecting the places where we work, the studios where we design, the classrooms where we learn, or the epistemologies from which we articulate our relationship with otherness.

Abstract Introduction: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication affecting patients undergoing therapy with bisphosphonates and other antiresorptive agents. Teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone analog, has emerged as a possible therapeutic option to promote bone regeneration in these cases. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of teriparatide in the treatment of MRONJ, based on a systematic review of the current literature. Material and methods: An exploratory systematic review was performed following Prisma ScR protocols using the following bibliographic databases Scopus, Pubmed, WOS, ScienceDirect to identify studies between the years 2013 and 2021 that have used teriparatide as a treatment to MRONJ. Results: From a total of 3100 articles, 8 were included in this review.  The following were considered as relevant criteria: initial MRONJ status, dose and time of drug administration and possible adverse effects developed with this therapy.  The studies reviewed reported a significant improvement in bone regeneration and a reduction in MRONJ symptoms in patients treated with teriparatide, highlighting the decrease in bone exposure and showing a favorable safety profile. Conclusions: The findings suggest that teriparatide may be a viable and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws. However, the need for further research, particularly long-term clinical trials, to confirm these results and optimize treatment protocols is highlighted.

Background: Dentomaxillary anomalies (DMAs) are a highly prevalent issue in the global population, with crossbite being a progressive anomaly that, if not treated promptly, can lead to complications that are difficult to address at a later age. Its diagnosis is relatively straightforward, and early and timely treatment can yield effective results with good long-term prognosis. Some of the consequences of an untreated crossbite include temporomandibular joint disorders, functional problems, and facial growth issues. Objective: To describe current therapies for the treatment of both unilateral and bilateral posterior crossbite in children and young adults, from mixed dentition to early permanent dentition. Method: A narrative literature review was conducted. The following databases were used: Medline, the Electronic Library of Scientific Information, Cochrane Library, and Trip Database, using the keywords: "Malocclusion", "Crossbite", "Palatal expansion technique", "Palatal disjunction", "Rapid maxillary expansion", "Slow maxillary expansion", "Palatal expander", "Tooth borne appliance", "Bone borne appliance", and "Tooth-tissue borne appliance", along with the Boolean operators AND and OR. Results: A total of 21 articles were retrieved, of which 4 were systematic reviews, 4 were retrospective observational studies, 5 were non-randomized clinical trials, and 8 were randomized clinical trials. Conclusions: Transversal DMAs are extensively studied in the literature, covering diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. However, the existing evidence is highly heterogeneous, with a large volume of studies showing methodological weaknesses, as well as high-quality evidence that can guide clinical recommendations. Therefore, it is important to exercise clinical judgment when analyzing and integrating evidence with clinical practice.

Objective: This literature review aims to determine how stress impacts oral health and the different pathologies it can generate. It will also make people aware of the adverse effects so they can prevent them. Materials and methods: Scientific articles, bibliographic reviews, and longitudinal studies were searched in repositories such as Google Scholar, Scielo, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were articles in English and Spanish from 2015 to the present year. The exclusion criteria were outdated texts and articles that didn't have relevant information on the impact of stress on oral health. Conclusions: This literature review shows how stress affects oral health in many ways, leading to a poor lifestyle and causing adverse effects on the oral cavity and all the human organism.

El cambio climático, impulsado por la acción humana, afecta gravemente la salud pública, incluyendo la salud bucal. Aumenta enfermedades transmisibles y no transmisibles, agrava la crisis hídrica y alimentaria, y genera desplazamientos poblacionales. Es urgente integrar una perspectiva ecológica en la investigación y práctica odontológica.
