Anxiety of the Leaders: Future Research Directions through Literature Reviews and Suggestions
Authors:   Korean Academy of Leadership, Kim Sungjun , Lee Joong Hak , Im Chang Hyun
Published: September 2022

Main purpose of this study is to review studies on the anxiety of the leaders, to explore its application in leadership research, and to suggest future research directions. Under the rapidly changing environment, leaders are likely to feel anxiety especially after COVID-19 pandemic. Even if the anxiety is an important emotion these days, studies have yet to pay attention to it, especially about leader’s anxiety. It might be because there is a conceptual overlap of fear, neuroticism, and job stress, and at the same time, may studies have not been conducted due to the difficulty to observe leader’s emotion. Therefore, this study first looked at the history of anxiety research and clarified differences from other related concepts before reviewing researches at home and abroad. Then, we propose six research suggestions based on leader’s anxiety. In particular, it is suggested that studies about the sources of leader’s anxiety, the comparison between groups of leaders and employees, the negative and positive effects of anxiety, and the relevance of decision-making ability with leader’s anxiety need to be further investigated. This study presents a new emphasis on leadership research based on anxiety and has a theoretical contribution to making specific research suggestions. In addition, there is a practical contribution in terms of enhancing the understanding of anxiety of the leaders.

Authors: Zuluaga Cindy , Berrouet Mejia Marie Claire , Cárdenas Jhon Jairo
Published: September 2022

Introducción: la trimetoprima y el sulfametoxazol es una combinación de agentes antimicrobianos, con su uso se han descrito algunas reacciones adversas, entre las que están las alteraciones electrolíticas como la hipercalemia.
Objetivo: la revisión de este caso se propone como una estrategia que permite proveer herramientas al personal de salud para la detección de un evento adverso como la hipercalcemia asociada a la administración de trimeoprim sulfametoxazol, antimicrobianos ampliamente usados en servicios de urgencias, hospitalización, unidades de cuidados especiales/intensivos e incluso de manera ambulatoria.
Presentación del caso: se presenta el reporte de un paciente sin los factores de riesgo descritos en la literatura para el desarrollo de hipercalemia, permitiendo a través de su discusión sensibilizar al personal de salud sobre este efecto, siendo además el primer caso reportado en nuestro medio en un paciente menor de 50 años.
Discusión y conclusión: Desde 1983 se registran los primeros casos de hipercalcemia asociados a la administración de estos antimicrobianos, describiéndose diferentes factores de riesgo como la edad, la coexistencia de insuficiencia renal, el uso de diuréticos ahorradores de potasio, antihipertensivos inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina y receptores de angiotensina 2, si bien es importante vigilar estrechamente a estos grupos de riesgo, este evento puede presentarse  también en ausencia de los mismos, como en el caso de este paciente.

Authors: Acuña Carlos Fernando , Valderrama Luis Alfonso , Mejía Andrés Felipe , Paredes-Fernández Antonio , Ramírez Margarita
Published: September 2022

Contexto: la infección de vías urinarias (IVU), causada por adenovirus (ADV) posterior al trasplante renal, tiene el potencial de causar disfunción o pérdida del injerto. La presentación clínica es variable y el tratamiento difiere según la disponibilidad de medicamentos en el medio y la experiencia clínica.
Objetivo: el estudio describe las características clínicas, de laboratorio y la respuesta al tratamiento de una serie de casos de pacientes trasplantados renales con IVU por ADV en un hospital de Cali, Colombia.
Metodología: estudio retrospectivo que incluye a todos los pacientes adultos trasplantados con diagnóstico de IVU por ADV entre enero del 2015 hasta enero del 2021. El diagnóstico se realizó basado en la clínica, el resultado positivo de la prueba de reacción de cadena de polimerasa (PCR) y la carga viral del ADV.
Resultados: de 256 pacientes trasplantados, ocho presentaron diagnóstico de cistitis hemorrágica o nefritis intersticial secundaria a infección por ADV. Se presentó de forma temprana (? 3 meses) en el 62?% de los casos, quienes debutaron con macrohematuria asociada a piuria estéril y linfopenia. Por otra parte, se presentó alteración en la función renal en el 87,5?% de los casos y la reducción de la inmunosupresión fue el pilar fundamental en el manejo clínico.
Conclusiones: el reconocimiento de la infección por ADV en pacientes trasplantados renales ha ido en aumento. La sospecha clínica es clave para el diagnóstico (macrohematuria, síntomas urinarios irritativos y falla renal) y la reducción de la dosis de inmunosupresión para restaurar la función inmune puede ser suficiente en la resolución de la infección y la reversión de la disfunción renal.

Authors: Yomayusa Gonzalez Nancy , González González Camilo Alberto , Yama Erica
Published: September 2022

Contexto: las personas con diálisis se consideran una población de alto riesgo de infección por SARS-CoV-2, complicaciones y muerte. En Colombia, cerca del 44?% de la población en diálisis es menor de 60 años, adicionalmente, por los mismos retos que ha impuesto la pandemia a los programas de trasplantes, se ha incrementado notoriamente la población joven que debe seguir en diálisis al no tener opción a corto plazo de un trasplante renal, por lo tanto, las limitaciones en el acceso temprano a la vacunación contra SARS-CoV-2 agudizarían los problemas de esta población, provocando pérdidas considerables en años de vida que la vacuna podría salvar.
Objetivo: el objetivo del presente documento es sintetizar los principales motivos por los que se recomienda la priorización de la vacunación de los pacientes en diálisis crónica y lista de espera para trasplante renal.
Metodología: se realizó una búsqueda rápida de información sobre la vacunación en pacientes con ERC en diálisis o en espera de trasplante renal. La información resultante fue analizada críticamente por expertos en nefrología para la formulación de recomendaciones. Los resultados de la búsqueda se presentan a manera de síntesis narrativa.
Resultados: a partir de la información revisada y discutida por los expertos en nefrología se proponen 4 recomendaciones para la vacunación contra el virus SARS-Cov-2.
Conclusiones: la Asociación Colombiana de Nefrología e Hipertensión Arterial, la Asociación Colombiana de Nefrología Pediátrica y la Asociación Colombiana de Trasplante de Órganos, comprometidos con la salud de los pacientes con enfermedad renal en diálisis y listas de espera de trasplantes en Colombia, se unen a la solicitud mundial de generar recomendaciones para la vacunación contra SARS-CoV-2.

Authors: Valiza Davis Catalina
Published: September 2022

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio zooarqueológico realizado sobre el conjunto faunístico finipleistocénico -Unidad 4- del sitio Casa del Minero 1, ubicado en la localidad arqueológica La María (meseta central de Santa Cruz). El objetivo del mismo radica en ampliar el conocimiento, a partir de nuevas evidencias, sobre las estrategias de aprovechamiento de los recursos animales por parte de los cazadores-recolectores que habitaron en esta región hacia fines del Pleistoceno. Para ello, se contempló la diversidad taxonómica presente, la representación diferencial de unidades anatómicas y, principalmente, las evidencias de procesamiento y consumo humano. Los resultados alcanzados nos permiten señalar que las primeras sociedades del sitio Casa del Minero 1 utilizaron diferentes tipos de camélidos. No obstante, si se considera la alta frecuencia de elementos y el registro de huellas antrópicas se destaca el procesamiento y consumo del guanaco (Lama guanicoe), lo que muestra concordancia con la información registrada a nivel regional para estos momentos.

Authors: Lee Na Hyun , Kim Ga Eun , Choi Hee Joung
Published: September 2022

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe soft tissue infection, characterized by rapid and fulminant progression. Thus, early suspicion, and prompt medical and aggressive surgical management are important for the clinical outcomes of NF. Despite the rarity of NF in infants and group B streptococcus as its cause, a 2-month-old preterm girl presented with NF involving the suprapubic, inguinal, and lower lateral abdominal regions caused by group B streptococcus. The girl recovered after early medical and surgical management.

Published: September 2022

Este estudo foi desenvolvido a partir do interesse na compreensão sobre o tema economia solidária no processo produtivo da agricultura na Região Norte do Brasil. O objetivo foi conhecer a produção científica sobre as iniciativas solidárias, quando aplicadas a agricultura na produção e nos prováveis resultados aos principais atores envolvidos. Utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa por meio de uma revisão de literatura nas obras publicadas pelos principais teóricos que abordam o tema central. Os resultados evidenciaram que a Região Norte possui diversas iniciativas e empreendimentos que são desenvolvidos como alternativa aos moradores dessa região, mais propriamente o pequeno produtor em detrimento ao grande produtor que ao possuir capitais disponíveis para a produção obtém vantagens superiores aos demais. Assim conclui que o papel da economia solidária junto ao setor agrícola ser for estabelecido de forma isolada não conseguirá alcançar seus objetivos, sendo necessário a articulação com os demais atores envolvidos no processo.

Model following adaptive control for nodes in complex dynamical network via the state observer of links
Authors: Li Xiaoxiao , Wang Yinhe , Li Shengping
Published: September 2022

Geometrically, a complex dynamical network (CDN) can be regarded as the
interconnected system composed of the node subsystem (NS) and the link
subsystem (LS) coupled with each other. Guided by this idea, in order to
achieve the goal of each node following asymptotically its own reference
target in a CDN, this paper investigates the model following adaptive
control (MFAC) problem of NS via the dynamics of links, which implies
that the LS plays the important dynamic auxiliary role in the MFAC
realization of nodes. Meanwhile, we focus on the condition that the
links state information is unavailable, due to sensor practical
application and measurement cost constraints. To obviate this
restriction, we construct the asymptotical state observer for the LS.
Next, to achieve the control goal of this paper, an appropriate Lyapunov
candidate function is selected, by which the MFAC scheme for NS is
synthesized based on the state observer of LS. Finally, the simulation
example is performed to demonstrate the theoretical results in this
paper.

ALK Gene Mutation and ALK Protein Expression in Advanced Neuroblastoma and Potential Value in Risk Stratification in Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Samples
Authors: Srinivasan Radhika , Bhardwaj Neha , Rohilla Manish , Trehan Amita , Bansal Deepak , Kakkar Nandita
Published: September 2022

Objective:Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (
ALK) gene gain-of-function point mutation leading to its
overexpression has recently been identified and targeted in
neuroblastoma (NB). We evaluated ALK gene mutation and its
protein expression in cases of NB on fine needle aspiration biopsy
(FNAB). Material and Methods: FNAB diagnosed cases of NB (n=56)
were evaluated with cell blocks for MYCN amplification and ALK
protein expression by Fluorescence in-situ hybridization and
immunocytochemistry respectively. MGG stained smears (n=22) were used
for Next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis using the Cancer Hotspot
panel (version2) on Ion Torrent S5 platform. Staging and risk assignment
as per International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) was performed and
managed. All the parameters were correlated with overall survival.
Results: ALK protein showed cytoplasmic expression in 65% of
cases and did not correlate with MYCN amplification (p=0.35),
INRG groups (p=0.52), and overall survival (p=0.2); however, ALK+ poorly
differentiated NB showed better prognosis (p=0.02). ALK negativity was
associated with poor outcome by Cox proportional hazard model (hazard
ratio=2.36). ALK gene, exon 23 missense mutations (F1174L) were
seen in 2/21 cases with an allele frequency of 8% and 54%. Both these
cases showed ALK protein expression and died of disease within 1 and 17
months respectively. A novel IDH1 exon 4 mutation was also detected.
Conclusion:  ALK expression is a promising prognostic as
well as a predictive marker in advanced NB along with traditional
prognostic parameters. FNAB smears are suitable for NGS and
ALK gene mutation confers a poor prognosis.
Evolution along a parallel/non-parallel continuum in Pacific and Atlantic feral chickens, G. gallus
Authors: Gering Eben , Johnsson Martin , Cerezo Maria Luisa Martin , Steep Alec , Getty Thomas , Henriksen Rie , Wright Dominic
Published: September 2022

Recent work indicating that feralisation is not a simple reversal of
domestication has raised questions about the predictability of
evolutionary change across replicated feral populations. In the present
study we compare genes and traits of two independently feral populations
of chickens (G. gallus) inhabiting archipelagos in Pacific and Atlantic
regions to test for evolutionary parallelism and/or divergence. First,
we confirm purported differences in these two populations’ ancestries
are corroborated by genetic and phenotypic analyses. Indeed, whereas
Pacific (Kauaii) chickens recently outcrossed with wild relatives, our
genetic data from Atlantic (Bermuda) chickens is more consistent with
solely domestic origins encompassing diverse G. gallus breeds. Next we
used genome scans to contrast the targets of feralisation (selective
sweeps) between the two independently feral populations. Two sweep loci
were shared between these focal populations and this overlap is
inconsistent with a null model in which selection targets are randomly
distributed throughout the genome. The larger set of sweep loci from the
two feral genepools were also found to govern traits that were heavily
modified during G. gallus’ domestication (e.g. the nervous system and
behaviour, metabolism, and reproduction). Assessment of SNPs using
allelic differences and SNP annotation led to candidate SNPs for further
investigation for five of the genes present. Our findings suggest that a
subset of feralisation loci are shared across independently-established
populations, raising the possibility that feralisation involves some
degree of parallelism or convergence, though a clearer understanding of
possible ‘feralisation syndromes’ will require elucidating
genotype-phenotype relationships in any populations being compared.
Ten-year experience in the clinical management of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in children
Authors: xu chang , Liu Chenyu , Cheng Kaisheng , He Taozhen , Yuan Miao , Luo Dengke
Published: September 2022

Objectives: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS) is rare
and its optimal clinical management remains ambiguous. This study aimed
to introduce our ten-year experience in clinical management of ILS. And
the application of our novel surgical method, thoracoscopic anatomical
lesion resection (TALR) on ILS was introduced. Materials and
Methods: Patients with ILS who received treatment between December 2010
and December 2020 were included in this study, retrospectively. A binary
logistic regression model was used to assess risk factors for
preoperative symptoms. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were
compared between the thoracoscopic lobectomy and lung-sparing surgery
groups. Results: A total of 112 patients were included in this
study. Age and maximum cyst diameter were risk factors for preoperative
symptoms. Lung-sparing surgery proved to be safe and feasible with no
residual lesions. Conclusions: The overall prognosis of early
thoracoscopic surgery for ILS was good. Lung-sparing surgery, especially
TALR could be used as a first-line surgery for ILS. It may resolve the
long-standing controversy over whether surgery for asymptomatic patients
with ILS.

Authors: Kumar Ketan , LODHA RAKESH , Jat Kana , Jain Vandana , Kabra Sushil
Published: September 2022

Objective The objectives of this study were to determine the
prevalence of insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia and metabolic
syndrome (MS) in children with asthma, aged 10 to 15 years and to
determine if these metabolic abnormalities showed an association with
asthma symptom control and lung function. Methods We conducted
a cross-sectional study at a tertiary centre in north India. Consecutive
children with physician diagnosed asthma were enrolled. Asthma symptom
control over previous four weeks was assessed as per GINA
recommendations. Fasting plasma glucose, serum insulin and lipid levels
were estimated. HOMA-IR was used as a marker of IR. Spirometry was
performed for assessing lung function. Results Eighty-three
children were enrolled. Median (IQR) age was 12.0 (11.0, 13.5) years and
mean (SD) BMI z score was -0.42 (1.0). Median (IQR) Homeostasis Model
Assessment- Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was 1.65 (1.06, 2.39).
Prevalence of IR was 42.3% (95% CI: 31.7-52.9%). Number of children
with elevated triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol was
4 (4.8%), 4 (4.8%) and 5 (6%), respectively. 67 (80.7%) children had
low HDL-cholesterol. Only one subject was found to have MS. Presence of
IR and elevation in serum insulin and triglycerides were associated with
poorer asthma control, independent of BMI. None of the metabolic
parameters were associated with lung function, after adjusting for
height. Conclusions A high proportion of children with asthma
aged 10-15 years had IR but not MS currently. Increasing serum insulin,
triglycerides, and presence of IR were associated with poorer asthma
control, after adjusting for BMI.

Published: September 2022

We consider the equations of motion of a bar, with given density, infinite in both directions, subjected to longitudinal vibrations under the action of an external load, and a stress-strain relation represented by a fractional order operator. Using three types of fractional operators, the initial-boundary value problems associated with the described phenomenon are posed and solved. Through the bivariate Mittag-Leffer function, which has been recently introduced, we find the fundamental solution of these problems and calculate their moments.
UHF RFID reader antenna with switchable far-field and near-field working state
Authors: Li Danhua , Cao Wenquan , wang chuang , Tong Yixin
Published: September 2022

An ultra-low profile and high-performance UHF RFID reader antenna is
proposed in this letter, which can be switched between far-field (FF)
and near-field (NF) operative mode. This antenna is composed of four
dipoles and a reconfigurable feed network. The four dipoles form a
square, and the feed network is located in the center. The feed network
is a four-way power divider, and the phase of the output signal can be
controlled by switching diodes. As a balanced structure, double-sided
parallel-strip lines (DSPSLs) are used to feed four dipoles. Compared to
the balun structure, the application of DSPSLs can reduce the area of
the feed network, thereby reducing the influence of the feed network on
the central magnetic field. Experimental results show that the proposed
antenna can provide a NF reading area of 180×180 mm2, and the
identification rate can reach 100% within 30-60 mm height. The FF gain
of the antenna is 4.7 dBic, and the overlapping range of 3 dB AR
bandwidth and -10 dB impedance bandwidth is 800-960 MHz. The good FF and
NF performance of this antenna is conducive to its application in RFID
systems.
Između „tiranije”

Authors: Bećir Ante
Published: September 2022

Namjera je ovoga rada problematizirati odnos između „legitimne” i „nelegitimne” vlasti u kasnosrednjovjekovnim političkim poimanjima kroz prizmu izabranih primjera iz kasnosrednjovjekovne povijesti Dalmacije i Hrvatske. Radi boljega razumijevanja tematike, primjeri će se smjestiti u teorijski okvir srednjovjekovne političke misli. Naime, svaki primjer predstavlja zaseban kut gledanja, čime se želi upozoriti na supostojanje različitih političkih shvaćanja, koja proizlaze iz suprotstavljenih interesa. Drugim riječima, ono što je za jedne „tiranija”, za druge je legitimna i opravdana vlast. Frakcijske borbe u Trogiru početkom 14. stoljeća, kroničarski diskurs Mihe Madijeva i njegovo portretiranje hrvatskih velikaša te na kraju stavovi koje iznose poklisari trogirskoga puka u Veneciji 1421. ogledni su primjeri. Na tragu raščlambe spomenutih i nekih drugih primjera izvest će se (komparativni) zaključci o srednjovjekovnoj političkoj kulturi.
Note on an inequality of M.A. Malik
Authors: Mir Abdullah , Ahmad Abrar , Malik Adil
Published: September 2022

Let P(z):= ?nv=0 avzv be a univariate complex coefficient polynomial of degree n. It was shown by Malik [J London Math Soc, 1 (1969), 57-60] that if P(z) has all its zeros in |z| ? k, k ? 1, then max|z|=1 |P?(z)| ? n 1 + k max |z|=1 |P(z)|. In this paper, we prove an inequality for the polar derivative of a polynomial which besides give extensions and refinements of the above inequality also produce various inequalities that are sharper than the previous ones known in very rich literature on this subject.

Published: September 2022

In this manuscript, we are concerned with the problem of locating the zeros of some special quaternionic polynomials and regular functions with restricted coefficients; namely quaternionic coefficients whose real components or their moduli satisfy suitable inequalities. The obtained results for this subclass of quaternionic polynomials and regular functions produce extensions of the classical Enestr?om-Kakeya theorem and its various variants from complex to the quaternionic setting.

Objective: A plant-based dietary pattern, the portfolio diet, has been shown to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other cardiovascular disease risk factors. However, no study has evaluated the association of this diet with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

Research Design and Methods: This analysis included 145,299 postmenopausal women free of diabetes at baseline in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Clinical Trials and Observational Study from 1993 through to 2021. Adherence to the diet was assessed using a score based on six components (high in plant protein [soy & pulses], nuts, viscous fiber, plant sterols and monounsaturated fat, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol) determined from a validated food frequency questionnaire. We used Cox proportional-hazard models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the association of the portfolio diet, alongside the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and Mediterranean diets, with incident type 2 diabetes, adjusting for potential confounders. 

Results: Over a mean follow-up of 16.0 years, 13,943 cases of incident type 2 diabetes were identified. Comparing the highest with the lowest quintiles of adherence, the HRs for risk of incident type 2 diabetes were 0.77 (95% CI, 0.72, 0.82) for the portfolio diet, 0.69 (0.64, 0.73) for the DASH diet, and 0.78 (0.74, 0.83) for the Mediterranean diet. These findings were attenuated by 10% after additional adjustment for BMI. 

Conclusions: Higher adherence to the plant predominant portfolio, DASH and Mediterranean diets were prospectively associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a member of coliform bacteria that causes wide ranges of infections including circulatory, respiratory system, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and wounds infections. This study aimed to find the correlation between type 1 and 3 fimbrial genes expression with multidrug resistance (MDR) K. pneumoniae isolates towards antibiotics. Sixty clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from three main types of samples including blood, wound and burn swabs, and urine samples. The diagnosis was confirmed by VITEK-2 system and 16s rRNA housekeeping gene. The antibiotic sensitivity profile included 16 antimicrobial agents, with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production. PCR technique was applied to detect four genes of type-1 fimbrial genes: (usher-1, chaperon-1L, chaperon-1S, and fim-H1), beside type-3 fimbrial genes: (MrkA, MrkB, MrkC, MrkD, and MrkF). The results showed that K. pneumoniae isolates were hundred percent (100%) resistant towards ampicillin, no resistance (0%) was recorded towards tigecycline and ertapenem, while the percentages of resistance for ceftazidem, cefepime, amikacine, and amipenem were 15%, 20%, 51.7%, and 50% respectively, and the isolates showed about (13-71%) resistance to the rest antimicrobials agents. The production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase was in 40 (66.67%) of total the 60 isolates. There was no relationship according to the statistical analysis between the type of specimen with the antibiotic resistance rates. For fimbriae type 1 genes, the largest occurrence (90%) was reported in Chaperon-1S gene and the lowest one was in Usher-1 gene (56.6%), while it was above 70% in Chaperon-1L gene and fim-H1 gene of the total K. pneumoniae isolates. The percentages of type 3 genes MrkA, MrkB, MrkC, MrkD, and MrkF were: 28.3, 76.6, 85, 51.6, and 63.3% respectively. The type-1 fimbrial genes had no significant correlation among them, however, the type-3 fimbrial genes had significance in their presence at 0.01 and 0.05 levels as they are located on the same Mrk operon. Finally, the correlation between type 1 and 3 fimbrial genes with the type of specimen and antibiotic resistance was not significant at all.

“Image of the Future” in politico-legal and economic thought of Russian liberalism of the late 19th – early 20th centuries
Authors: Aronov Dmitry V. , Aronova Svetlana A. , Astrakhan Vladimir I.
Published: September 2022

The article examines the main characteristics of the image of the future formulated in the politico-legal thought of Russian liberalism of the late 19th – early 20th century as reference points for political and social design. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that Russian liberal thought formed a general image of the future Russian society which presupposed the synthesis of a liberal worldview with historically established practices of public administration. The liberal model of reforming the country was viewed as the basis of the image of the future, and the primacy of peaceful reform of socio-political system was considered as the basic paradigm of social construction. This approach is valid for both politico-legal and socio-economic thought, although there is a certain specificity in relation to the latter, which is reflected in this article and can be found in the works of such thinkers of the time as I. Babst, I. Yanzhul, A. Butovskii, D. Mendeleev, S. Bulgakov, M. Tugan-Baranovskii, and others. Within the framework of the analysis, the following aspects of difference are considered: a significant difference in the perception of the place and interconnection of the economic system with society, which led to the appearance of the term “moral capital” in the works of Russian liberals and proof of the connection between morality and economic development; the perception of a person whose role was thought of as that of the creator of economy by Russian liberal economists in the context of the future of our country; adaptation of the European experience to the conditions of Russian reality, which forced the image of the ideal economy of the future of Russia to be adjusted taking into account national characteristics of the country; the presence in the works under analysis of a clear idea that it is possible to achieve a bright future only with a new stage of reforms “from above.” At the same time, the article emphasizes that despite the presence of the specific features under consideration, the general approach to the image of the future in the economic context fits perfectly into the mainstream liberal conception.
Preservation of zemstvo traditions in Russian emigration in 1917–1939: The Russian Zemstvos and Towns Relief Committee of Russian Citizens Abroad (Zemgor)
Authors: Sabennikova Irina V.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the activities of emigrant zemstvo organizations in the context of their preservation of the traditions of the pre-revolutionary Russian zemstvo. The Russian post-revolutionary emigration caused by the October Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent Civil War numbered up to two million refugees who settled mainly in the countries of Central Europe, Slavic countries, newly formed border states, and the Far East. Many of the former zemstvo officials of various levels who had significant experience in organizing humanitarian assistance to refugees and the wounded during the First World War and the Civil War also emigrated. The article traces the continuity of emigrant zemstvo organizations, primarily the Russian Zemstvos and Towns Relief Committee of Russian Citizens Abroad and its branches, in relation to pre-revolutionary zemstvo institutions, such as the All-Russian Zemstvo Union. Russian emigrant organizations continued their former zemstvo activities, focusing on education (secondary and higher education), employment of Russian refugees (labor exchanges), medical care, and preservation of Russian culture in the new conditions, among other things, by means of organizing and holding the days of Russian culture as well as founding archives and libraries. To prove the idea of continuity of zemstvo organizations, the author considers the structure and composition of the Russian Zemstvos and Towns Relief Committee of Russian Citizens Abroad and its most significant offices in Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Bulgaria, and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The article is mainly based on the materials from the Russian Historical Archive Abroad (RZIA) stored in the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Archives of the Prefecture of Police of Paris, and publications of the Zemgor.

Published: September 2022

The extant research literature indicates that human trafficking survivors have a myriad of service needs, including acute and long-term needs. A statewide resource guide, needs assessment, and service inventory were developed for Missouri through community action research involving a partnership with an anti-trafficking coalition, a consortium of funders, and a series of small research teams. This article details the evolution of a resource guide and describes the methods used to 1) develop a statewide resource guide for human trafficking survivors and the service providers who work with them, 2) evaluate the resource guide, 3) create a statewide/regional service inventory based on resource guide data, and 4) conduct a statewide/regional needs assessment. The aim was to provide a scalable process that others can follow to develop their own statewide resource guides, service inventories, and needs assessments to assist survivors better and guide responses.

Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar o processo de envelhecimento da população do estado do Ceará, identificando os diferentes momentos que marcam o curso dessa transformação populacional ao longo das décadas. Para isso, foram utilizados os dados dos Censos Demográficos de 1970 a 2010 e das projeções populacionais para os anos de 2020 a 2060. Sendo analisados diferentes indicadores demográficos, tais como a proporção de idosos, o índice de envelhecimento, a razão de dependência jovem e de idosos. Os resultados deste estudo caracterizam a experiência do Ceará na transição de uma população jovem para uma envelhecida. O atual momento é de condições populacionais mais favoráveis à economia, mas, ainda nesta década, as trajetórias de crescimento da participação da população em idade ativa na composição populacional e de decrescimento da dependência demográfica sofrerão reversões. As projeções futuras indicam a configuração de uma sociedade cada vez mais envelhecida.
