Innovations and Challenges in Modern Surgical Practices
Authors: Haque Dr Md Anwarul
Published: January 2025

Surgery has been remarkably transformed over the past few decades, driven by technological advancements, surgical techniques, and patient care protocols [1]. The advent of minimally invasive procedures, robotic-assisted surgery, and enhanced imaging techniques have revolutionized how surgeries are performed, leading to improved outcomes, reduced recovery times, and enhanced patient safety. However, with these advancements come significant challenges that must be addressed to ensure the continued progress of surgical practices. This editorial explores the key innovations in modern surgery, their challenges, and the potential future directions for the field. Surgical techniques have evolved significantly since the early days of open surgeries. The development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been one of the most significant advancements, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions with specialized instruments and cameras. This approach has numerous benefits, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery than traditional open surgery [2].
Successful Surgical Creation and Management of an Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report
Authors: Haque Dr Md Anwarul
Published: January 2025

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) are the preferred method for vascular access in hemodialysis patients due to their long-term patency and lower risk of complications. This case report details the successful creation and management of an AVF in a 34-year-old male with stage IV chronic kidney disease (CKD), poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypertension (HTN). The AVF was surgically created using the Brescia-Cimino technique at Rajshahi Diabetic Association General Hospital, Bangladesh. Despite the patient's comorbidities, the fistula matured successfully after 45 days, allowing for uneventful initiation of hemodialysis. Postoperative management included regular Doppler ultrasound assessments and patient education on fistula care. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care, including careful preoperative planning and meticulous postoperative follow-up, to achieve successful AVF outcomes in patients with complex medical histories. It underscores the critical role of individualized care in managing vascular access for hemodialysis.

The long-term sustainability of banks is determined by measuring their financial health. This study
was initiated due to the recent bank scams in the co-operative banking sector in Kerala, which raised
a need to prove the financial stability of Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), which are an integral
part of the Indian banking sector. The financial soundness of sixteen UCBs in Kerala is assessed in
this study over ten years from 2012-13 to 2021-22 using Altman Z scores, re-estimated Altman Z
scores using Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN).
BLR was used to classify banks into grey and distress zones, and MLPNN was used to identify nonlinear relationships in the data. The study’s findings show that the re-estimated Altman Z score
model using BLR exhibited high predictive accuracy in predicting distressed and non-distressed
UCBs; therefore, it may be considered a reliable tool for predicting financial distress in UCBs. The
MLPNN model needs further improvement in the inclusion of new variables, which will be included
within the future scope of the research. The bank management and other stakeholders will be able
to monitor the financial stability of UCBs with the help of the study findings.
Peirce’s Ethics: Problematizing the Conduct of Life
Authors:   University of Connecticut, E. San Juan Jr. E.
Published: January 2025

Charles Sanders Peirce's ethics is based on his pragmaticist theory of meaning elucidated by his phenomenology and its transcoding into practice. An example of how meaning acquires practical effect is cited from Peirce's lecture on signs and their interpretation. His anti-imperialist stance against U.S. colonization of the Philippines has never been discussed before. This is the first time Peirce's politics is manifested in conjunction with his anti-nominalist explanation of signs and their ethical implications.
Emancipating the Place and Labor: Exploring a Possible Synthesis of David Harvey’s Theory of Capitalist Production of Spaces and Marx-Engels’ Emancipatory Class Politics
Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, Musa Gary
Published: January 2025

With the desperate usurpation of global spaces under the ever-expanding capitalist mode of production, the political struggle still necessitates an emancipatory class politics as aimed by Marx and Engels. This paper will be a synthesis of Marxist geographer David Harvey’s theory of capitalist production of space and Marx-Engels’ notion of freedom, and their notion of emancipatory class politics. According to David Harvey, its survival as a system is through its wide scale control on the production of spaces. I will first expose the theory of the Marxist geographer David Harvey
on how capitalism produces a space through his theory of the capitalist production of space. This necessary strategy of capitalism to own and extend to spaces is essential to its nature to increase capital and profit. According to him, capitalism always needs to expand territories to create new sources of labor, wealth, and new markets. This necessitates obtaining profits to sustain capital accumulation amidst its problem of crises. The spatial ontology of
capital will be the springboard showing a possible construction of the type of freedom or emancipation that is necessary in forwarding a class politics of spatiality. In effect, emancipating the place is tied with the classical notion of the liberation of the proletariat. I conceptualize the concept of place as a signifier of the spaces that humanity produces—may it be their home, their work, or geometries of modern life—but have been put under the dictates and design of capital. Thus, I will go back to the classical notion of emancipatory politics of Marx and Engels. This synthesis combines the possibility of emancipatory class politics based on the ontology of the present capitalist production of space.

This paper is founded on the assumption that Philippine Studies has five different discouses: 1) Philippine studies as a neutral discourse; 2) colonial Philippine studies as a discourse that is based on western power and reinforces such power; 3) generic postcolonial Philippine studies as a discourse that critiques western hegemony; 4) Pilipinolohiya as a specific postcolonial discourse that was inaugurated by Prospero Covar; and 5) pantayong pananaw as another specific postcolonial discourse that was inaugurated by Zeus Salazar. Malay Journal, on the other hand, is a scholarly periodical intended for researchers in the field of Philippine studies who use the Filipino language. Currently, it is the most respected journal that is exclusively published in Filipino language, based on the fact that it is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education and listed in a number of international abstracting and indexing organizations. This paper intends to establish which among these five discourses of Philippine studies is the most dominant in as far as the articles of the said journal are concerned. In order to attain such goal, this paper analyzed 50% random sample of the articles that were published from 2011, when the journal had completed its shift towards Philippine
studies, up to 2015, the present complete year of publication for the said journal.
Ang Pagbungkal sa Konseptong Relihiyon sa Talasalitaan ni Bergaño bilang Pagtutulay sa Kultura-Pananampalataya ng mga Kapampangan sa Ika-18 Siglo

Published: January 2025

Hindi maikakaila ang bilis ng paglaganap ng Katolisismong dala ng mga Kastila sa bansang Pilipinas; isang dahilan kung bakit tuluyan nang naiangkla sa pagkatao ng bawat Pilipino ang kahalagahan ng salitang relihiyon. Isa sa mga patunay ng pagkakaroon ng mahigpit na pagyakap ng mga Pilipino sa Katolisismo ay ang mga heritage church na matatagpuan sa Pampanga. Dahil dito, nabansagan ang mga Kapampangan na hindi lamang mahusay sa kusina, kundi pati na rin sa pagkakaroon ng masidhing pagpapahalaga sa kultura-pananampalatayang iniwan ng kanilang mga ninuno. Ito ang naging inspirasyon ng papel, ang makita ang kultura- pananampalatayang mayroon ang mga Kapampangan noong ika-18 siglo sa pamamagitan ng paghimay sa talasalitaan ng Kapampangan na isinulat ni Fray Diego Bergaño (1690-1747). Sa pamamagitan ng kwalitatibong pag-aaral at deskriptibong pag- aanalisa, ginamit ang talasalitaan ni Bergaño na unang nailimbag noong 1732 bilang pangunahing teksto ng pananaliksik. Inalam at itinala ang mga salitang makikita rito na may kaugnayan sa relihiyon na umusbong sa panahong iyon. Sa tulong din ng panayam mula sa mga paring Kapampangan at ilang taong maalam sa kultura-pananampalatayang Kapampangan, nakagawa ng naratibo ang mga mananaliksik na nagsilbing tulay sa muling pagsilip sa kultura sa pagdarasal, paniniwala sa mga masasamang elemento at sumpa, pagsasabuhay ng pamahiin, tradisyon sa patay, konsepto sa mga bagay na makikita sa loob at labas ng simbahan, at sanhi ng pagkakasala ng mga Kapampangan sa kasaysayan.Ipinakita sa kabuuan ng pag-aaral ang transpormasyong naganap sa kultura-pananampalatayang Kapampangan -- mula sa nakaraan tungong kasalukuyan.
Sen and Žižek on the Multiculturalist Approach to Non-Violence
Authors:   University of the Philippines-Diliman, De Vera Marlon Jesspher
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes areas of convergence in the works of Amartya Sen and Slavoj Žižek in their criticisms of the multiculturalist approach to non-violence. First, Žižek’s characterization of the liberal discourse of guilt and fear is presented. Then, Sen’s key ideas on multiculturalism, tolerance, and rational critique are explicated. Next, a synthesis of Sen and Žižek’s notions of universality, freedom, and rationality, as well as of their critical conceptions of globalization and anti-globalization are discussed. Subsequently, Sen and Žižek’s divergences on overcoming violence are examined. Lastly, from integrating Sen and Žižek’s thoughts, key theses are provided on the paradoxical character of the multiculturalist approach to non-violence and on how despite their divergences, both Sen and Žižek propose radical systematic changes and an alternative approach to non-violence characterized by the universals of rationality and genuine freedom.
Foucault and Beyond: From Sovereignty Powerto Contemporary Biopolitics
Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, Vitales Hazel Marie
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I will provide an interpretation of Foucauldian theoretical understanding on natures of power from sovereign power to biopolitics. In order to give further depth and texture to what he means by biopolitics, I will attempt to connect biopolitics with his earlier work Discipline and Punish. The term ‘biopolitics’ was actually mentioned by Foucault on the last chapter of his History of Sexuality Volume 1: An Introduction, where he also claimed it as a technology of power linked to biopower. Foucault wrote that the highest function of biopolitics is not to kill, but to invest life through and through in the machineries of production. If that is the case, then, biopolitics aims to ensure the longevity, health, and wellness of the social bodies. However, if biopolitics is the politics that safeguard life, how come that the innumerable individuals are situated in dire condition? To answer this question, the work of Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt will be used to understand further the nature of biopolitics and its effects in the social terrain specially in the contemporary society.
D(I)aspora: Discourse, Multimodality, and the Speaking of Migrant Subjects in New Media
Authors:   University of the Philippines Diliman, Aguirre Alwin
Published: January 2025

The paper has two main aims: first, I emphasize the need for a multimodal lens in discourse analysis; second, I present a critique of the discursive construction of migrant identity on Internet-based new media platforms that are produced by state institutions (i.e. official websites) and created by individual migrants on their own personal social media profiles. Using a multimodal framework that accounts for not only words but the various semiotic resources available to participants in online media content production, I focus my analysis on two sets of cases of official texts from Philippine and New Zealand government migration websites and three sample cases of social media content by Auckland-based Filipino migrants in New Zealand. In both the official and individual texts, there is an apparent idealization and romanticization of migrant life in New Zealand depicted mainly through the hegemonic images of “home”, “family”, and “childhood” that act as nodal points in setting up discursive boundaries. Although it may seem that individual agency is not realized in the purported democratized avenues of expression of the Internet, I
argue that migrant self-presentation online or offline is contingent on the very complexity and contradictions of migrant daily life as configured by both the home and host nations.

Tarlac State University (TSU) is a multi-ethnic and multicultural institution with a student population that is predominated by the Kapampangan, Ilocano, and Tagalog ethnolinguistic groups. This paper is a comparative study of the ethnic stereotypes and self-stereotypes of these three ethnolinguistic groups. Using a modified Katz and Braly trait checklist, this paper was able to: 1)profile the ethnic stereotypes and self-stereotypes of these three ethnolinguistic groups, 2) determine their uniformity indices, 3) determine their positivity/negativity indices, 4) compare and contrast their profiled ethnic stereotypes and self-stereotypes, 5) compare and contrast the uniformity indices of their ethnic stereotypes and self-stereotypes, and 6) compare and contrast the positivity/negativity indices of their ethnic stereotypes and self-stereotypes. This paper was also able to establish that the Kapampangan ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype shared the most number of traits in common, while the Tagalog ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype shared the least number of traits in common. This paper was also able to establish that the uniformity indices of the Kapampangan ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype are closest to each other; while those of the Tagalog ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype are farthest from each other. Finally, this paper was able to establish that the positivity/negativity indices of the Kapampangan and Tagalog ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype are both closest to each other; while those of the Ilocano ethnic stereotype and self-stereotype are farthest to each other. This paper is significant not only in knowing whether there is a difference between how the three ethnolinguistic groups construct each other’s stereotypes and their respective self-stereotypes, but more so in laying down the preliminary information that would lead towards understanding the dynamics among these same ethnolinguistic groups, and towards building a more cohesive student body in TSU, or citizens of Tarlac City, or inhabitants of Tarlac Province. This paper is also important in providing a model study that can be replicated in other multicultural institutions and locations in the country.
Ongangen (Wisdom): Women’s Means of Overcoming Troubles as Depicted in Maranao Folktales
Authors:   Mindanao State University Marawi City, Philippines, Velasco Eugenia
Published: January 2025

This paper utilized feminist analysis to find out how women characters in the selected Maranao folktales
used ongangen or wisdom to solve their problems. Specifically, this study aimed to find out (1) the roles of women as depicted in Maranao folktales; (2) their struggles; and (3) their means of maintaining balance to overcome such struggles. The analysis revealed that Maranao women played important roles in the Maranao society, especially so, if they held royal titles. They performed social functions inside their clan. However, these women still struggled against discrimination within their own societies as well as against stereotyping once they came out from the confines of their family and tribe. In the folktales, the Maranao women used ongangen to try to overcome their struggles. Doing so allowed them to keep their balance thus they were able to face their challenges more serenely and confidently. Such depiction provides another dimension to the common image of Maranao women who merely stay at home taking care of the children and being submissive to the husband.
Impact of Soil Type and Water Stress on Potato Growth and Yield under Desert Conditions in Iran
Authors: Kheyrodin Hamid
Published: January 2025

Background: Potato cultivation in arid regions like Iran’s desert areas is significantly influenced by soil type and water availability, making it essential to understand their impact on yield. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different soil types and drought stress levels on potato production under desert conditions in Iran. Method: A field experiment was conducted at Semnan University’s Experimental Farm during the winter and spring of 2004, using a split-plot design with three soil types (sandy, clay, compost) and four drought stress levels (-0.3, -0.6, -1, -1.5 MPa). Physical, chemical, and biochemical soil properties were assessed, including enzyme activities (urease). Statistical analysis was performed using Duncan's test under SPSS to compare growth components. Results: The study found that both soil type and water stress significantly affected potato growth. Clay soil produced the highest yield (15.2 t/ha) under full irrigation, while sandy soil yielded 9.5 t/ha. Water stress significantly reduced yield, with a 50% decrease observed at -1.5 MPa. The number of tubers per plant, tuber size, and average weight also showed significant variation, with clay soil providing superior results. Soil texture combined with water stress showed a mutual influence on yield, with clay soil under non-limited irrigation out-performing other soil types. Conclusions: Water-saving irrigation strategies are not recommended for potato production in desert conditions, as they lead to substantial yield loss. Full irrigation with clay soil maximizes yield potential.
Pandemic Induced Shifts Dietary and Economic Adjustments in Semi Urban Bangladeshi Communities
Authors: Hossain Mukter
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching socioeconomic impacts, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income populations worldwide. In Bangladesh, particularly in semi-urban areas like Rajshahi, lockdown measures imposed to control the virus's spread have profoundly impacted individuals reliant on daily wages and small businesses. This study examines the dietary, financial, and health lifestyle changes among auto drivers in the Rajshahi district during the COVID-19 lockdown, highlighting the challenges faced and the coping mechanisms adopted by this vulnerable group. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on people living in the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh, focusing on changes in dietary habits, financial status, and overall lifestyle. Additionally, it aims to compare these impacts between rural and urban areas within the district. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 390 participants in Rajshahi district captured demographic, educational, occupational, and lifestyle data, alongside economic impacts of the lockdown. Descriptive statistics summarized findings, while comparative tests and regression analyses explored relationships. Factor and cluster analyses categorized socioeconomic groups, complemented by visualizations like histograms and scatter plots for data presentation. Results: The sample predominantly comprised males (93%), with a median age of 40 years. Most participants (62%) lived in rural areas, and 38% were illiterate. The median daily income was 450 BDT, with a median expenditure of 400 BDT. A significant portion of participants (82%) experienced financial loss during the lockdown, and 88% reported lifestyle changes, primarily in food (75.39%), in medical care (82%) and on income pandemic has effect on 81.21% of study subjects. Rural auto drivers had lower median incomes and higher expenditures compared to their urban counterparts. The majority (89%) received financial aid from the government and NGOs. Conclusion: The COVID-19 lockdown significantly affected the socioeconomic status of auto drivers in the Rajshahi district, with rural areas experiencing more severe impacts. Despite the financial and lifestyle challenges, many individuals demonstrated resilience through various coping mechanisms, including financial aid. Targeted interventions, such as enhanced financial support, vocational training, and improved access to healthcare, are essential to mitigate the long-term effects of such disruptions on vulnerable communities.

Objective: To assess patient satisfaction with the ERAS protocol in elective cesarean sections.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at FRPMC and Allied Hospital (PAF Faisal Hospital), Karachi from January to July 2023. By convenient sampling, all pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean sections under ERAS procedure were included in the study. A total of 100 patients were divided into two groups through convenient sampling: 50 in the ERAS group and 50 in the conventional (non-ERAS) group. At the time of discharge, a pre-validated questionnaire was used to record the patient’s satisfaction with the care they had received. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.
Results: ERAS patients were satisfied with their recovery and surgical experiences with 57.5% strongly agreeing compared to 12.8% in the non-ERAS group (p=0.001). About satisfaction with post-operative pain control, 57.5% of patient in ERAS were strongly agreed as compared to 5.1% of patient in non-ERAS (p=0.015) which showed a higher difference. A higher percentage of ERAS patients were satisfied with breastfeeding on “0” post-operative day with 45% strongly agreeing, compared to 5.1% in non-ERAS group.
Conclusion: The study revealed significant difference of satisfaction between ERAS protocol patients and non-ERAS patients, particularly satisfaction in recovery, shorter length of hospital stay, early postpartum bonding and post-operative pain control. Most patients favored ERAS, indicating its potential for broader application in elective cesarean sections to improve patient-centered perioperative care.

Gensyn med Perry Andersons "vestlig marxisme"
Authors: Bolt Mikkel
Published: January 2025

Mikkel Bolt: Perry Anderson’s Western Marxism’ Revisited, Arbejderhistorie 1/2012, s. 84-96.Perry Anderson’s Considerations on Western Marxism from 1976 remains an influential account of Western European Marxism in the 20. Century. Anderson analyse the difference between an earlier generation of Marxists such as Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg and a later generation including Karl Korsch, Jean-Paul Sartre and Theodor W.Adorno that all were forced into political isolation in a context characterised by the consolidation of bourgeois liberal democracy inWestern Europe and the disappearance of a revolutionary perspective. The consequence according to Anderson is a kind of philosophical withdrawal where Marxist intellectuals take up teaching positions in the university distancing themselves from politics. The article argues that Anderson’s mapping of the development of Marxism is a misreading that misses the explicit critique of the thendominant Marxism and its pretended objectivism and overlooks Western Marxism’s attempt to critically analyse the emergence ofnew forms of control in post-war Europe.
Mellem kors og klasse
Authors: Schädler Andersen Lars
Published: January 2025

Lars Schädler Andersen: Between the cross and class, Arbejderhistorie 1/2013, pp. 34-52.The Christian Danish Confederation of Employers and Workers (KdF) was formed prior to the Great Lockout of 1899. In a Europeancontext the body was atypical with its corporative composition and an uncom-promising rejection of the right to strike. The Confederation was met with opposition from the social democratic trade union movement and only found a refuge on the periphery of the labour market. The internal debate within the KdF, however, reveals that to a large extent the limited adherence to the body can beexplained by the fight of the Inner Mission (a very con-servative Lutheran movement in Denmark) to protect the ´true believers`within organisatio-nal forms which alienated the majority of wage labourers – Christian as well as the unbe-lievers.The defeat of the Christian Danish Confederation in the 1905 labour conflict in the textile industry gave rise to an internal debatebetween the “Opposition”, who wanted the development of a membership democracy and a more distinct trade union profile, and the“Conservatives”, who meant that the purity of faith was more important than building a strong membership base. In 1907 the conservative forces triumphed, securing the continued control of the leading organs of the Confede-ration by the Inner Mission at theexpense of any potential progress in increasing member-ship.
Socialdemokratiets invandrerpolitik

Heidi Vad Jønsson: The Social Democrat’s integration policy. Politicization and debate during Anker Jørgensen’s chairmanship (1979-1987), Arbejderhistorie 1/2013, pp. 53-74.Immigration and integration are two salient themes, which have proven to be highly problematic for the Danish Social DemocraticParty. This became evident, when the party lost the general election in 2001 to the Liberals, the Conservatives and the new pro-national, anti-immigration party, Danish People’s Party. One of the main explanations for the loss of power was irresolute and vaguepolitical statements, where internal debates and conflicts within the party dominated. The electoral consequences of these intraparty conflicts are clear, but it is, however, not so evident, why immigration and integration were such conflictual themes in the Social Democratic Party. The explanation is to be found within the party: an analysis of the development of an immigrant policy throughan intra-party policy development shows that these themes, immigration and integration, gave rise to a multidimensional conflictwhere both the problem definition, politicization, suggested solutions etc. were different depending on the level of governance  national or local). Even though there were attempts to coin integration as a Social Democratic solution to immigrants’ problems, the conflicts remained present also after the Social Democrats re-entered office in 1993. This article covers the early politicizationfrom 1979 to 1987, which was marked by an increasing level of conflict, whereas the following phase of break, compromise and parliamentary playoff (1987 to 1992) is analyzed in the next number of Arbejderhistorie.
Socialismens verdenssprog?
Authors: Nygaard Bertel
Published: January 2025

Forsøgene på at parre den internationale socialisme med verdenssproget esperanto vandt aldrig større opbakning. Men disse i dag næsten glemte bestræbelser pegede på store, vigtige og i vidt omfang endnu uafgjorte spørgsmål om forholdene mellem sprog og samfund, mellem nationale og internationale udviklingsrammer samt mellem fremtidsorienteringer, historieopfattelser og politisk praksis. Denne artikel udforsker krydsninger mellem verdenssprog og socialistisk arbejderbevægelse i årene op til første verdenskrig i et dansk perspektiv

Den politiske Nexø
Authors: Thing Morten
Published: January 2025

I almindelighed bliver Martin Andersen Nexø betragtet som en ’politisk forfatter’. Denne bedømmelse blev ikke mindst underbygget af hans opfattelse af sig selv som ’en, der kommer fra proletariatet’. Begge dele kræver imidlertid en uddybning og en kritik. Det er målet med denne artikel.
Kammerat Nexø
Authors: Frederichsen Kim
Published: January 2025

Martin Andersen Nexø er bedst kendt for sit forfatterskab med bøgerne om Pelle Erobreren og Ditte Menneskebarn. Mindre kendt er det, at han også aktivt støttede op om Sovjetunionen og sovjetkommunismen, hvilket resulterede i en politisk-ideologisk produktion. I dette essay kastes der et kritisk blik på Martin Andersen Nexøs politiske virke, arbejde for Sovjetunionen, og hvordan det bør indgå i den samlede vurdering af hans forfatterskab.

Selvom frygten for den bolsjevikiske revolution i mange henseendervar ubegrundet, eksisterede der i Det Tyske Rige enfrugtbar grund for apokalyptiske scenarier om “verdensrevolutionen”.Både konkrete og overdrevne meldinger fra Ruslandbekræftede forestillingerne. Denne artikel stiller skarpt påSlesvig-Holsten og søger svar på om provinsen, hvor den tyskeNovemberrevolution havde sit epicenter, også var særlig modtageligfor den type af angstscenarier.

'Pure and simple Unonism'
Authors: Holm Ask
Published: January 2025

Ask Holm: ‘Pure and Simple Unionism’. Arbejderhistorie 2/2013, pp. 1-21.In 1894, at the Convention of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), a political programme was discussed. The programme had gained initial support at the 1893 convention, but it was rejected in 1894. The AFL chose to pursue a syndicalist strategy called ‘pure and simple unionism.’ The decision made it almost impossible for a labor party to succeed without the support of the labor movement in the United States. By rejecting the political platform, the American labor movement detached itself from the development that therest of the labor movements in the industrialized world followed in the late eighteenth century.The internal discord between the inclusive, political ‘Knights of Labor’ and the exclusive, syndicalist AFL didn’t create a united labor movement in the late 1880’s. ‘The Knights’ collapsed and the AFL became the dominant labor organisation. Thereafter, the syndicalist leadership, with President Samuel Gompers as the dominant figure, used a centralized power structure to navigate the AFL free of political involvement. The formation of ‘the Civic Federation of Chicago’ in the summer of 1894 gave the syndicalist leadership an alternative to the People’s Party, which otherwise would have been the platform for political involvement through a farmer-labor alliance. ‘The Civic Federation’ gave the syndicalist AFL leadership an opportunity to interact with employers outside the political system. The repression from employers and courts in the late 1880’s and early 1890’s left little room for the AFL to focus on other issues than surviving as an organization.
Grænseløse arbejdere
Authors: Jul Nielsen Niels
Published: January 2025

Niels Jul Nielsen: Workers without borders. Arbejderhistorie 2/2013, pp. 44-60.In 2004 the EU expanded by taking on 10 new member countries, 8 of which were from the former Eastern Bloc. This meant that workers from countries with completely different traditions of how to attain and maintain influence concerning their working conditions – and with pay several times lower than in Denmark – gained access to the Danish labour market. This transnational encounter is a significant expression of a Europe of the 21st century, where the borders are open to the mobility of not just capital and commodities, but also to services and labour power.The protectionism of national labour markets which prevailed throughout the Keynesian politics of much of the 20th century is, under the prevailing economic regime, replaced by cross-border activities that should promote competition in the neo-liberal spirit. Parallel with this the labour organizations still have difficulty in maintaining influence on the development and responding to the ongoing challenge from foreign workers and service providers. On the basis of an on-going research project of the current migration of Polish labour to Denmark (in the wake of the EU`s eastern expansion) there is a presentation, discussion and examination of how ´Polishness` comes into play in the meeting between bosses and workers, trade unions and employer organisations. In addition, there isa consideration of the difficult issues of identity and self-awareness which are often raised in the general discussions on the lack of support for the trade unions and the failure to understand the Danish labour market system.

Pligt og ret i den socialdemokratiske arbejderbevægelses idearv
Authors: Petersen Jørn Henrik
Published: January 2025

Socialdemokratiet har foretaget et fundamentalt brud ved at overgå fra princippet om “noget-for-ingenting” til princippet om “noget-fornoget” eller “pligt-og-ret”-princippet. Når moderne socialdemokratiske ledere hævder, at deres brug af en "pligt og ret" -metafor er forankret i den socialdemokratiske idéarv, afspejler det en falsk og respektløs fortolkning af historien.

1960’ernes og 1970’ernes opbrud blandt unge var langt bredere funderet end blot den studerende ungdom og omfattede skoleelever, gymnasieelever og ikke mindst den faglige ungdom i form af lærlingene. I perioden 1966-1976 oplevede man således et regulært lærlingeoprør indenfor fagbevægelsen i Danmark.

Vidas cruzadas: biografía y autobiografía en "Octavio Paz en su siglo" de Christopher Domínguez Michael
Authors: Pérez Daniel Iván
Published: January 2025

Este artículo propone un estudio de la biografía de Octavio Paz escrita por el crítico literario Christopher Domínguez Michael y publicada en 2014. El análisis se dirige a mostrar cómo los discursos propios de la biografía y de la autobiografía se hallan imbricados en el texto. La combinación de ambos tipos de narración aleja a la biografía de sus moldes tradicionales, y se la puede ver como un ejemplo de los desafíos teóricos que plantea el género biográfico más reciente en Latinoamérica. A través de una lectura detenida de Octavio Paz en su siglo, y con ayuda de los desarrollos teóricos más recientes en torno a las escrituras del yo, el trabajo concluye que la autofiguración del crítico y su validación son tan importantes como defender la figura del biografiado.
Development of a quality by design based hybrid RP-HPLC method for Glimepiride: Bioanalytical and industrial applications
Authors: Kumar Abhiram , Dhiman Chhavi , Kumar Madhaw , Kannappan N. , Kumar Deepak , Chourasia Manish Kumar , Narayan Kumar Pranav
Published: January 2025

In this study, we present a hybrid analytical method for the quantification of glimepiride (GLP) from blood plasma and pharmaceutical formulations. Shimadzu HPLC (Model SIL 20 AC HT), a photodiode array detector, and a Phenomenex C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 4 μm) were used for method development. A further quality by design (QbD) surface optimization model was applied, and the best-optimized method with chromatographic conditions, such as an injection volume of 15 μl, a column oven temperature of 40°C, a sample cooler temperature of 15°C ± 1°C, a run time of 5 minutes, and a flow rate of 0.8 ml/minute with a mobile phase composition (acetate buffer: acetonitrile, 40:60 ratio), was identified. Finally, the method was validated, and GLP was quantified from various pharmaceutical dosage forms and blood plasma. The results were observed in subsequent laboratories in diluent media and mouse plasma with limits of detection of 0.066 μg/ml and 0.193 μg/ml, respectively, followed by limits of quantification of 0.199 μg/ml and 0.583 μg/ml, respectively. Subsequently, linearity (r2) was observed at 0.999 for both samples. The AUC was 228 ± 2 nm, and the retention time (RT) was 2.8 ± 0.28 minutes. The plasma matrix effect was calculated to be 81.9%. The research findings revealed that the proposed analytical method could be used for both analytical and bioanalytical applications at the industrial scale.
