Authors: Arkhipov Ivan A. , Varlamova Anastasia I. , Khalikov Salavat S. , Sadov Konstantin M. , Dushkin Alexander V.
Published: April 2020

The purpose of the research is studying the effect of mechanochemical technology on anthelmintic efficacy of supramolecular complexes of fenbendazole with licorice extract. Materials and methods. Tests of the supramolecular complexes of fenbendazole (SMCF) with licorice extract (LE) were carried out on 127 heads of young sheep spontaneously infected by Nematodirus sp. and other types of gastrointestinal strongylates. For each helminthosis, animals of different groups of 8–11 animals each were given single oral administration of SMCF with LE in a dose of 2.0 mg/kg in AD in the form of 10 and 17 % powders and 2.4 and 4.5% suspensions in comparison with the basic drug – fenbendazole (FBZ) in a dose of 2.0 mg/kg. SMCF with LE was developed according to mechanochemical technology for 2 hours. The baseline was a group of sheep that did not receive the drug. The anthelmintic efficacy of the preparations was taken into account according to the results of coproovoscopic studies of sheep by flotation before and 16 days after the preparations were used. Accounting for the effectiveness of drugs was carried out according to the "control test" type. Results and discussion. SMСF with LE in a dose of 2.0 mg/kg by AD in the form of 10 and 17% powders and 2.4 and 4.5% suspensions showed respectively 89.2; 83.12; 82.09 and 83.59% effectiveness against Nematodirus spp. and 88.73; 67.3; 83.87 and 86.38% activity against other types of Strongylata when receiving 22.7 and 21.9% effect of the base drug – FBZ.

تحلیل پراگماتیسمی در فابل‌های احمد مطر
Authors: دکتر رسول بلاوي
Published: April 2020

پراگماتیسم (عملگرایی) رویکردی فلسفی است که به امور واقع، توجه خاصی دارد و اصالت را به عمل‌ می‌دهد. در این مکتب، علم ارزش عملی دارد و هدف اصلی علم، باید فایده عملی آن باشد. شیوه برخی از شاعران در بیان دیدگاه های سیاسی و اجتماعی، استفاده از فابل بوده که بالطبع، نقش اول فابل‌ها را حیوانات ایفا می‌کنند. فابل حکایتی است که هدف از آن، انتقاد از اوضاع نابسامان سیاسی و اجتماعی جامعه، به شکل غیر مستقیم می باشد. احمد مطر در فضایی سرشار از استبداد زندگی می‌کرد و طبیعی بنظر می‌رسد که بیشتر اشعار خود را با افسانه تمثیلی یا فابل بیان کند.

     پژوهش حاضر بر پایه‌ تحقیقات کتابخانه‌ای و با روشی توصیفی- تحلیلی می‌کوشد، به تحلیل پراگماتیسمی از فابل‌های احمد مطر بپردازد، تا از این رهگذر، مصادیق فابل‌های این شاعر برجسته تر گردد؛ نیز مولفه‌هایی از پراگماتیسم در فابل‌های شاعر، با توجه به شاخص‌هایی همچون: واقع بینی، رویکرد انتقادی به قصد اصلاح امور، ایفای نقش روشنگری و... مورد کنکاش قرار می‌گیرد. لذا نگارندگان در پی آن هستند تا بخش بزرگی از ناگفته‌های شاعر که جز پیام محسوب می‌شوند مورد تحلیل قرار دهند. نتایج بررسی فابل‌های مطر از منظر پراگماتیسمی نشان می‌دهد که آگاه سازی مردم، مبارزه با استعمار، مبارزه با حاکمان مستبد، هدف اساسی این فابل‌ها بوده است و شاعر استبداد سیاسی را از منظر فابل مورد انتقاد قرار داده و فضای باز سیاسی را از زاویه عملگرایی مورد کنکاش قرار داده است.

Fifteen ways of looking at a pointing gesture
Authors: Cooperrider Kensy
Published: April 2020

The human pointing gesture may be viewed from many angles. On a basic description, it is an intentional movement, often of the hand, by which one person tries to direct another’s attention toward something; it is, in short, a bodily command to look. But this definition is only a start. Pointing may also be seen as a semiotic primitive, a philosophical puzzle, a communicative workhorse, a protean universal, a social tool, a widespread taboo, a partner of language, a part of language, a fixture of art, a graphical icon, a cognitive prop, a developmental milestone, a diagnostic window, a cross-species litmus test, and an evolutionary stepping-stone. These fifteen ways of looking at pointing highlight the diverse dimensions of one our most unassuming, ubiquitous behaviors. The gesture appears so widely, and has been treated so variously, because of what it embodies: a distinctively human preoccupation with attention.
Biosecurity, crisis management, automation technologies, and economic performance of travel, tourism and hospitality companies – a conceptual framework
Authors: Ivanov Stanislav Hristov , Webster Craig , Stoilova Elitza , Slobodskoy Daniel
Published: April 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 will have a significant influence on travel, tourism, and hospitality globally. With a massive reduction in tourism globally because of the health crisis, the industry will have to plan recovery and rebuilding of the industry with greater consideration of the biosecurity of customers. A critical element in the reorganisation of the industry will involve the increased incorporation of automation technologies. This paper adopts a supply-side perspective and elaborates on the opportunities that automation technologies provide to travel, tourism, and hospitality companies to mitigate the negative impacts of biosecurity threats on their economic performance. It discusses the costs and benefits of the incorporation of increased levels of automation, especially in regards to the benefits of the safety and health of the consumer. It elaborates on how the current pandemic would stimulate the adoption of automation technologies. Finally, the paper discusses how this fits into the business models of tourism-related industries and outlines the micro- and macroeconomic implications of the greater incorporation of automation into the industry.
A Conceptual Study of the Strategic Role of Gastronomy in Tourism Destinations
Authors: Seyitoğlu Faruk , Ivanov Stanislav Hristov
Published: April 2020

The present study aims to discuss the strategic role of gastronomy in destinations. The study utilised the three theoretical foundations of strategic management, namely Resource-Based View (RBV), Emergent Strategy (ES) and Positioning Strategy (PS). Several concepts from the field of gastronomy were used, such as gastronomic identity, tourist behaviours (motivation, experience, consumption), a sense of place, and food image. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary literature, the present study provides an integrative review of developing a model explaining the strategic role of gastronomy in tourism destinations. The predictions of the model are supported by the conceptual and empirical findings of earlier studies.
Keep America Christian (and White): Christian Nationalism, Fear of Ethnoracial Outsiders, and Intention to Vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election
Authors: Baker Joseph , Perry Samuel , Whitehead Andrew L
Published: April 2020

Some of the strongest predictors of voting for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election were Christian nationalism and antipathy toward Muslims and immigrants. We examine the interrelated influence of these three factors on Americans’ intentions to vote for Trump in 2020. Consistent with previous research, Christian nationalism and Islamophobia remained strong and significant predictors of intention to vote for Trump; however, the effect of xenophobia was stronger. Further, xenophobia and Islamophobia significantly and substantially mediated the effects of Christian nationalism. Consequently, though Christian nationalism remains theoretically and empirically distinct as a cultural framework, its influence on intending to vote for Trump in 2020 is intimately connected to fears about ethnoracial outsiders. In the penultimate year before Trump’s reelection campaign, the strongest predictors of supporting Trump, in order of magnitude, were: political party, xenophobia, identifying as African American (negative), political ideology, Christian nationalism, and Islamophobia.
Manejo de fracturas Abiertas
Authors: Brenes Méndez Marco
Published: April 2020

Las fracturas abiertas se caracterizan por la pérdida de la continuidad ósea y la exposición del foco de fractura con el medio externo, situación que las hace especialmente vulnerables a procesos infecciosos y múltiples complicaciones. La mayoría de fracturas abiertas son causadas por traumatismos de alta energía; ocurriendo más en hombres y siendo la tibia el hueso que se afecta con mayor frecuencia. Se clasifican según el mecanismo de lesión, la gravedad de lesión de los tejidos blandos, la configuración de la fractura y el grado de contaminación; siendo la más utilizada la clasificación de Gustilo y Anderson por su utilidad terapéutica. Los objetivos principales del tratamiento son prevenir la infección, estabilizar la fractura, conseguir la consolidación y restaurar la función; para ello es indispensable la instauración de una profilaxis antibiótica y un manejo adecuado de los tejidos blandos.

Published: April 2020

Este estudo teve como objetivo construir e analisar a matriz de financiamento público federal do esporte, compreendendo as diferentes fontes de financiamento do esporte. As pesquisas sobre esta temática têm se dedicado, sobretudo, ao direcionamento dos recursos para o esporte, havendo falta de investigações sobre a origem deles. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo-qualitativo que se apoiou em levantamento documental, a coleta de dados se deu nos seguintes locais: Portal da Legislação do Governo Federal, para compreender as legislações esportivas que dão base à matriz de financiamento público federal do esporte; o portal Transparência no Esporte, para discutir os dados das fontes e subfontes de recursos para esporte no período 2004 a 2015; o SIGA Brasil, para definir os tipos de tributos que formaram o orçamento do esporte; e Demonstrativos de gastos tributários da Receita Federal do Brasil, para definir os tributos que compuseram os gastos tributários. Foi identificado, a partir da legislação, que o financiamento público federal do esporte é composto pelas fontes orçamentária, extraorçamentária e de gasto tributário. A fonte orçamentária é aquela que teve a maioria dos recursos no período, além de ser a fonte mais visível. A fonte extraorçamentária foi composta, sobretudo, por repasses de concursos prognósticos e loterias as entidades esportivas e patrocínio das estatais sem incentivos fiscais. A fonte de gastos tributários foi crescendo ao longo do tempo, devido ao surgimento de novas legislações. Ao analisar os tributos que formam a fonte orçamentária foi identificado que eles incidem, principalmente, sobre a renda dos trabalhadores e as camadas mais pobres, enquanto os gastos tributários contribuíram para que os capitalistas pagassem menos impostos que poderiam compor o orçamento federal.

Published: April 2020

Este artigo buscou refletir e descrever o universo simbólico e cultural da coreografia Maculelê apresentada pelo Balé Folclórico da Bahia (BFBA), do espetáculo Herança Sagrada. Partimos da descrição das cenas dessa coreografia, incluindo os gestos, os figurinos, a formação dos bailarinos e as letras das músicas, que em conjunto construíram uma rede de significados que permitiu identificar os símbolos culturais inscritos nessa versão da referida manifestação da cultura popular, que serviu de inspiração para o espetáculo artístico do grupo baiano. As impressões culturais e simbólicas permitidas na cena do Maculelê do BFBA variaram desde a formação dos bailarinos no palco até os cânticos entoados por eles e foram discutidas utilizando os principais autores que dialogam com os temas, conforme eles foram surgindo. Esses diálogos entre obra artística e autores, mediados no presente ensaio, permitiram ampliar a reflexão simbólica e cultural na área de conhecimento da Educação Física, entendendo-a como campo fértil que permite ao aluno se apropriar também da cultura de movimento e do conhecimento sensível e aberto que a dança proporciona, que por sua vez promove uma educação livre de determinismos e reducionismos. Desse modo, a visão de corpo dentro da área é também ampliada, tendo suas concepções constantemente reatualizadas pois não estão fechadas, constituindo um saber complacente sobre o corpo na Educação Física, ajudando a compreendê-lo livre de simplificações pré-determinadas que o assemelha a uma simples máquina, mas que considera os simbolismos do corpo e sua capacidade sensível e expressiva, tornando-o sujeito, obra de arte em constante troca e construção.

Published: April 2020

Intussusception is the invagination of one intestinal segment into an adjacent segment, caused by changes in motility. Hookworm is a parasitic infection of the small intestine that affects animals of all ages, especially young dogs. Both conditions have non-specific but very similar clinical signs, such as anemia, anorexia, dyspnea, lethargy, weight loss, emesis, bloody diarrhea, distension, abdominal pain, and rectal prolapse. Intussusception treatment is recommended by exploratory laparotomy followed by manual reduction or intestinal resection and anastomosis, and hookworm is recommended to use anthelminthic and supportive therapy when necessary. We report a case of intussusception secondary to Ancylostoma spp. in a dog with chronic diarrhea, reduced by surgical technique. Being addressed aspects of diagnosis, treatment and therapeutic complications. Importantly, hookworm can cause intussusception and the veterinarian should be aware of the diagnosis, the parasite cycle, environmental prevention techniques and clinical and surgical treatment.

Authors: Antunes Sidvan
Published: April 2020

Drugs containing Omega 3, alone or associated with other components, such as vitamin E and selenium, have been used as great allies in treatment and preservation of renal functionality. The objective of this study was to report the effects of supplementation with Gerioox® in dogs that presented serum concentrations of creatinine above 1.5 mg/dl, regardless of the etiology presented, attended in the city of Rio de Janeiro, during the years 2018 and 2019. The 22 cases of dogs were reported, 13 males and 9 females, azotemic, divided into four groups according to the etiologies were reported: (1) hemoparasitosis, (2) Chronic kidney disease, (3) senility, (4) Other diseases (under antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment). After treatment of the underlying causes and after 30 days of supplementation with Gerioox®, the animals were reevaluated for serum concentrations of urea and creatinine. It was observed that 82% of the supplemented dogs presented satisfactory results. Only animals from Group 4 and two dogs from Group 2 did not obtain satisfactory results after supplementation. In addition to the improvement in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a recovery was observed in erythropoiesis, with 55% of the dogs presenting improvement in the hematocrit results. It was concluded that the multivitamin Gerioox® contributes to the recovery of the azotemias in supplemented animals in the 30-day treatment period.
Inverse national trends of laser interstitial thermal therapy and open surgical procedures for refractory epilepsy: a Nationwide Inpatient Sample–based propensity score matching analysis
Authors: Sharma Mayur , Ball Tyler , Alhourani Ahmad , Ugiliweneza Beatrice , Wang Dengzhi , Boakye Maxwell , Neimat Joseph S.
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

Surgery for medically refractory epilepsy (RE) is an underutilized treatment modality, despite its efficacy. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), which is minimally invasive, is increasingly being utilized for a variety of brain lesions and offers comparable seizure outcomes. The aim of this study was to report the national trends of open surgical procedures for RE with the advent of LITT.

METHODS

Data were extracted using the ICD-9/10 codes from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS, 2012–2016) in this retrospective study. Patients with a primary diagnosis of RE who underwent either open surgeries (lobectomy, partial lobectomy, and amygdalohippocampectomy) or LITT were included. Patient demographics, complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and index hospitalization costs were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to analyze outcomes.

RESULTS

A cohort of 128,525 in-hospital patients with RE was included and 5.5% (n = 7045) of these patients underwent either open surgical procedures (94.3%) or LITT (5.7%). LITT is increasingly being performed at a rate of 1.09 per 1000 epilepsy admissions/year, while open surgical procedures are decreasing at a rate of 10.4/1000 cases/year. The majority of procedures were elective (92%) and were performed at large-bed-size hospitals (86%). All LITT procedures were performed at teaching facilities and the majority were performed in the South (37%) and West (30%) regions. The median LOS was 1 day for the LITT cohort and 4 days for the open cohort. Index hospitalization charges were significantly lower following LITT compared to open procedures ($108,332 for LITT vs $124,012 for open surgery, p < 0.0001). LITT was associated with shorter median LOS, high likelihood of discharge home, and lower median index hospitalization charges compared to open procedures for RE on PSM analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

LITT is increasingly being performed in favor of open surgical procedures. LITT is associated with a shorter LOS, a higher likelihood of being discharged home, and lower index hospitalization charges compared to open procedures. LITT is a safe treatment modality in carefully selected patients with RE and offers an opportunity to increase the utilization of surgical treatment in patients who may be opposed to open surgery or have contraindications that preclude open surgery.
Risk factors and results of hemispherotomy reoperations in children
Authors: Volpon Santos Marcelo , Teixeira Thiago Lyrio , Ioriatti Enrico Salomao , Thome Ursula , Paula de Andrade Hamad Ana , Machado Helio Rubens
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to perform an analysis of a single-center experience with hemispherotomy reoperations for refractory hemispheric pediatric epilepsy due to persistence of seizures after initial surgery. The authors also identify possible anatomical and neurophysiological reasons for hemispherotomy failure, as well as risk factors and surgical options for this subgroup of patients.

METHODS

A review was performed of the medical records in 18 consecutive cases in which candidates for redo hemispherotomy were treated between 2003 and 2018 at the authors’ epilepsy surgery center. Fourteen patients underwent reoperation due to seizure recurrence and were studied herein, whereas in 3 the initial surgical procedure was stopped because of uncontrollable bleeding, and the remaining patient refused to undergo a reoperation in spite of seizure recurrence and went on to have a vagus nerve stimulation device placed.

RESULTS

Among the 14 patients whose seizures recurred and in whom reoperations were done, the etiology of epilepsy consisted of 7 cases with malformations of cortical development (50%), 5 cases of Rasmussen encephalitis (35.8%), 1 case of porencephaly (7.1%), and 1 case of Sturge-Weber syndrome (7.1%). Eleven patients had radiological evidence of incomplete disconnection. After reoperation, 6 patients were Engel class IA, 1 was Engel II, 5 were Engel III, and 2 were Engel IV, within a mean follow-up of 48.4 months.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with malformations of cortical development have a higher risk of seizure recurrence, and these malformations comprised the main etiology in the reoperation series. Failure of an initial hemispherotomy usually occurs due to incomplete disconnection and needs to be extensively assessed. Outcomes of reoperation are most often favorable, with acceptable complication rates.

Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictive value and relative contribution of noninvasive presurgical functional imaging modalities based on the authors’ institutional experience in pursuing seizure-free surgical outcomes in children with medically refractory epilepsy.

METHODS

This was a retrospective, single-institution, observational cohort study of pediatric patients who underwent evaluation and surgical treatment for medically refractory partial epilepsy between December 2003 and June 2016. During this interval, 108 children with medically refractory partial epilepsy underwent evaluation for localization and resective epilepsy surgery. Different noninvasive functional imaging modalities, including ictal SPECT, FDG-PET, and magnetoencephalography–magnetic source imaging, were utilized to augment a standardized paradigm (electroencephalography/semiology, MRI, and neuropsychology findings) for localization. Outcomes were evaluated at a minimum of 2 years (mean 7.5 years) utilizing area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Localizing modalities and other clinical covariates were examined in relation to long-term surgical outcomes.

RESULTS

There was variation in the contribution of each test, and no single presurgical workup modality could singularly and reliably predict a seizure-free outcome. However, concordance of presurgical modalities yielded a high predictive value. No difference in long-term outcomes between inconclusive (normal or diffusely abnormal) and abnormal focal MRI results were found. Long-term survival analyses revealed a statistically significant association between seizure freedom and patients with focal ictal EEG, early surgical intervention, and no history of generalized convulsions.

CONCLUSIONS

Comprehensive preoperative evaluation utilizing multiple noninvasive functional imaging modalities is not redundant and can improve pediatric epilepsy surgical outcomes.

Selain itu, konsep smart village dihadirkan sebagai jawaban untuk peningkatan layanan aparatur desa terhadap masyarakat berbasis teknologi. Sebagaimana diamanatkan dalam UU Desa No.6 Tahun 2014, bahwa pembanguan TIK berbasis internet sebagaimana yang diutarakan dalam konsep Smart Village begitu penting bagi masyarakat desa. Pengabdian pada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas perangkat teknologi dan informasi pada pegawai Kantor Desa Rimba Makmur. Sasaran pengabdian adalah infrastruktur Teknologi Informasi dan Komputer pada Kantor Desa, dilanjutkan seluruh RT dan RW serta Kadus. Permasalahan diselesaikan dalam tiga tahapan kegiatan yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Persiapan dilakukan dengan melaksanakan survey pendahuluan untuk melihat kondisi di lapangan mengenai rencana peningkatan kualitas teknologi informasi dan komputer. Pelaksanaan dilakukan dengan pembenahan teknologi perangkat keras dan lunak disertai dengan pelatihan, dilanjutkan dengan diskusi tanya jawab dan latihan sebagai bentuk kegiatan simulasi untuk seluruh pelayanan yang disediakan oleh Kantor Desa. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan untuk masing-masing tahap dengan mengumpulkan dan menyimpulkan data dari masing-masing  tahapan  kegiatan. Setelah evaluasi, dilanjutkan implementasi pelaksanaan sistem langsung berinteraksi dengan masyarakat. Hasil kegiatan peningkatan teknologi informasi dan komputer menunjukkan keberhasilan dengan indikasi adanya peningkatan kepuasaan dari internal maupun masyarakat.

“There is no magic whereby such qualities will be acquired at the voting age”: Teachers, curriculum, pedagogy and citizenship
Authors: McLean Lorna
Published: April 2020

This study asks: What did it mean to be a Canadian citizen in the late forties and fifties? Who were considered good citizens, what were their qualities, and how did the teaching of citizenship relate to notions of identity, nation(alism), belonging and international development within a postwar liberal democracy? Finally, how did educational and policy materials as reflected in the curriculum and pedagogy of the day represent citizenship? Recent studies of this period emphasize diversity and dissent among educators who challenged the status quo, despite pressures to conform to societal norms and to produce workers with skills and attitudes that would benefit the modern economy. This research on citizenship, youth, and democratic education suggests reasons to re-evaluate our understanding of what is considered the legitimate domain and purpose of citizenship education along with the possibilities of teaching citizenship within a school/classroom setting.
P301 L, an FTDP-17 Mutant, Exhibits Enhanced Glycation in vitro
Authors: Sonawane Shweta Kishor , Chinnathambi Subashchandrabose
Published: April 2020

Background: Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism-linked to chromosome-17 are a group of diseases with tau mutations leading to primary tauopathies which include progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Alzheimer’s disease is a non-primary tauopathy, which displays tau neuropathology of excess tangle formation and accumulation. FTDP-17 mutations are responsible for early onset of AD, which can be attributed to compromised physiological functions due to the mutations. Tau is a microtubule-binding protein that secures the integrity of polymerized microtubules in neuronal cells. It malfunctions owing to various insults and stress conditions-like mutations and post-translational modifications. Objective: In this study, we modified the wild type and tau mutants by methyl glyoxal and thus studied whether glycation can enhance the aggregation of predisposed mutant tau. Methods: Tau glycation was studied by fluorescence assays, SDS-PAGE analysis, conformational evaluation, and transmission electron microscopy. Results: Our study suggests that FTDP-17 mutant P301 L leads to enhanced glycation-induced aggregation as well as advanced glycation end products formation. Glycation forms amorphous aggregates of tau and its mutants without altering its native conformation. Conclusion: The metabolic anomalies and genetic predisposition have found to accelerate tau-mediated neurodegeneration and prove detrimental for the early-onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
Analysis of SESANS data by numerical Hankel transform implementation in SasView
Authors: Bakker Jurrian H. , Washington Adam L. , Parnell Steven R. , van Well Ad A. , Pappas Catherine , Bouwman Wim G.
Published: April 2020

SESANS data analysis has been implemented in the SasView software package, allowing SESANS experiments to be analyzed using a numerical Hankel transformation of isotropic small-angle scattering (SAS) models. The error of the numerical approximation is three orders of magnitude below typical experimental errors. All advanced data fitting features of SasView (multi-model fitting, batch fitting, and simultaneous/constrained fitting) are now also available for SESANS and this is demonstrated by examples of fitting SAS models to SESANS measurements.
Women, Activism, and the Arts
Authors: Toman Cheryl

Karen Kalou and I met in 2008, when we had both just returned to Beirut. We instantly knew we had much in common. I could feel her passion for the arts; we were both captivated by the city we live in and shared a funny feeling of wanting to change “things” in our environment.
International Refugee Law and the Arab World
Authors: Ito Ayaki
Published: April 2020

Amira is a 34-year old Iraqi woman. In 2005 a group of militants burst into her house in the Dora area of Baghdad. They told her husband to leave the house within 24 hours for sectarian reasons. He refused and was shot dead on the spot. One of the militants raped Amira in front of her two children. Afraid and ashamed, she fled Iraq with her children to a country in the region. She is still afraid in the country of asylum because many men are asking why she is alone and some are making unwanted advances. She is also afraid of being arrested because she entered the country illegally. She is afraid to return to Iraq because of her experience and the stigma associated with it.
Home Away from the Homeland: Palestinian Women and the Re-construction of Home Two Tales from Shatila
Authors: Naguib Assmaa
Published: April 2020

Darwish’s words echo those of millions of Palestinian refugees whose loss of a Home has led them to a lifelong struggle for the reconstruction of the concept. They resonate with thoughts of Palestinians everywhere who find themselves, after 60 years of displacement, locked in an endless search for the requisition of a Home, a process that is gradually becoming more of a symbol than a political end. Scores of academic essays have examined the right of return, the peace process and the conditions inside refugee camps in Lebanon and elsewhere; yet few have successfully dealt with the way in which Palestinian refugees have coped with the difficulties of those very conditions and actively sought to find meaning to the experience of displacement.
Barrier or Opportunity? Political Islam and Support for Women’s Political Participation in Morocco
Authors: Benstead Lindsay J.
Published: April 2020

Women face a myriad of barriers to labor force participation in the Arab world, including discriminatory social attitudes which hinder their access to elected office (Norris & Inglehart, 2001). Scholars differ about why women’s empowerment lags behind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Inglehart and Norris (2003a)argue that the gender gap in women’s political participation is explained by a dearth of democratic values, including support for women’s rights, which they show is lower in the Middle East and North Africa than in any other world region (Inglehart & Norris, 2003a; 2003b, p. 33). This belief is reinforced by data from the World Values Survey (1995-2007), in which respondents in 20 Muslim nations expressed negative stereotypes about women as political leaders.

Past and future for tillage for grain crops
Authors: Konischev A.
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to show and explain why it is impossible to eliminate anthropogenic soil compaction and reduce the dependence of crop productivity on the weather conditions of the growing season with the help of first-generation soil cultivation technologies. Methods. To achieve this goal, the analysis of the impact of the results of the application of first-generation technologies on the yield of cultivated crops. On the basis of which, with the help Of the theory of solving inventive problems, the laws of creating second-level technologies are developed and the directions of their implementation are determined. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a new direction of improving the technology of soil cultivation for crops. Results. It is established that the creation of the first generation of technologies took place on the “layer-plane” principle, implemented according to the scheme “deep-less deep-very shallow”. Given that plants for maximum productivity does not need any specific soil density, and requires an optimal combination of density and moisture regime, this led to a chronic predisposition of the first generation technologies to anthropogenic soil compaction and complete dependence of crops on current weather conditions. It is possible to eliminate the specified lacks at transition to technologies of the second level. By abandoning today's “horizontal” principle of minimizing processing, and moving to minimize the “vertical”, when not all the area of the field will be processed to the same depth and with the same intensity. In practice, this is realized by dividing the entire area of the field into many micro plots, each of which creates a soil density that provides maximum yield under a particular regime of moisture. Mutual influence and addition of sites to each other reduces the overall dependence of crop yield on weather conditions of the growing season. The increase in barley yield is up to 11 % compared to the technology based on plowing and up to 20 % compared to the minimum processing. Spring wheat, respectively: 15 % and 23 %.
La empresa: su función social y su rol en la sociedad. Fomentar y exigir
Authors: Renouard Cécile
Published: April 2020

La crisis financiera actual que ha paralizado la concesión de créditos está impidiendo que las empresas cumplan sus funciones tradicionales. Dada esta circunstancia, la empresa, según la autora, se limita a distribuir dividendos entre los accionistas. Defiende la función social de la empresa, que no debe limitarse a la obtención de beneficios. Analiza los casos de comportamiento irresponsable de algunas empresas y, en contraste, los ejemplos de actuaciones empresariales compatibles con un desarrollo humano y social. Propone diversos medios para potenciar la toma de conciencia por las empresas de su responsabilidad social, si bien existen resistencias a admitir dicha responsabilidad por parte de grupos y directivos. Se trata también la difícil obtención de una arquitectura jurídica internacional que permita la investigación judicial de las empresas multinacionales. Se expone, por último, la imposibilidad de establecer reglas comunes, dada la diversidad de los sectores.

Reflexiones sobre la legitimidad ética del Estado de derecho
Authors: Cordero Ramos Nuria , Palacios Esteban José E.
Published: April 2020

El artículo responde a la necesidad de reflexionar sobre la importancia de la legitimidad del Estado de Derecho. La comprensión moral en la que éste se legitima, reclama la construcción de una ética pública en el actual contexto de pluralismo cultural, garantizando exigencias y valores básicos que hagan posible una convivencia pacífica. De esta forma, corresponde a los poderes públicos la obligación de procurar una formación ciudadana, respetuosa con las diferencias, que reconozca y capacite como sujetos morales a todos los miembros de la sociedad. Asimismo, se pretende advertir sobre los riesgos que corre dicha legitimidad, ante estrategias políticas que defienden la utilización de procedimientos violentos para salvaguardar la seguridad nacional. Se hace ver, cuál es el trasfondo ideológico que subyace a la argumentación que justifica los discursos de los responsables políticos que se citan. Todo ello refuerza nuestra convicción acerca de la necesidad de una adecuada formación de la ciudadanía.
