Authors: Das Pradeep Kumar , Vallabha Raviteja , Merugu Sri Harsha , Kotla Hemnath Babu
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND To improve the time of regional anaesthesia many methods have been used. Epinephrine continues to be the most commonly used drug for this purpose. We wanted to compare the effects of alpha-adrenergic agonists clonidine and adrenaline as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in blocking brachial plexus by the supraclavicular approach in patients undergoing upper limb surgeries. METHODS It is a prospective randomised comparative study conducted for 18 months in 40 patients randomly divided into group RA and group RC, conducted on American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) I and II patients undergoing upper limb surgeries under supraclavicular brachial plexus block. In group RA 30 mL of 0.5 % ropivacaine with 5 microgram / mL of epinephrine was given and in group RC 30 mL of 0.5 % ropivacaine with 1 microgram / Kg of clonidine was given. RESULTS On comparing effects of added alpha-adrenergic agonists clonidine and epinephrine to ropivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block, it was found that there was no significant difference in the onset of the sensory blockade and motor blockade in the two groups. Duration of sensory blockade was significantly more in the clonidine with ropivacaine group when compared with the epinephrine and ropivacaine. There was no significant difference in haemodynamic responses between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Supraclavicular approach brachial plexus block is effective in terms of cost and performance, and the margin of safety along with good postoperative analgesia. Hence, it can be concluded that the addition of 1 µg / Kg of clonidine to 0.5 % ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block provides a longer duration of analgesia as compared to 5 µg / mL of epinephrine added to 0.5 % ropivacaine.

Authors: Banga Neelam , Kaur Gagandeep , Sandhu Gunjeet Singh , Singh Sukhwinder , Kumar Avneesh
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND Premenstrual symptoms are generally seen 7 - 10 days before the menstruation period and are collectively called as premenstrual syndrome. Dysmenorrhea is the most common premenstrual symptom that affects the lifestyle and activity of young women. This study was aimed at estimating the prevalence of premenstrual symptoms and its severity in female medical student population of Government Medical college, Patiala, Punjab. METHODS 500 female medical students aged between 18 - 28 years were included in the study. Female students were asked to fill preformed questionnaire to elicit gynaecological information as well as the 4-point grading scale menstrual distress questionnaires. Symptoms were divided into two groups: physical symptoms and behavioural / psychological symptoms. RESULTS Only 30.24 % of the students reported one or more symptoms; of these, 22.76 % were having mild, 5.6 % moderate and 1.87 % severe degree of symptoms. From physical and behavioural / psychological symptoms, it was noticed that behavioural / psychological symptoms predominate. Among physical symptoms, breast tenderness is experienced most followed by bloating, and weight gain during premenstrual phase. Among psychological / behavioural symptoms, irritability predominates followed by restlessness & mood swings. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis is best achieved through daily rating symptoms over at least one menstrual cycle; clinicians can ask patients to choose their worst symptoms and chart the severity daily, or can select a validated scale such as the Daily Record of Severity of Problems. Disappearance of symptoms after menstruation is the key to diagnosis. KEYWORDS Premenstrual Syndrome, Depressive Disorder, Prevalence, Dysmenorrhea

Authors: Bagomaev A. A. , Guseynova N. O.
Published: January 2021

Aim. The study of temperature anomalies in the western Caspian Sea based on space imagery materials in order to detect upwelling phenomena.Materials and Methods. We used temperature indicators of seawater for the summer season of 2017 when a sharp decrease by more than 2 °C in average daily temperature occurred. Space images were obtained from the specialized centres of Ocean Color NASA, Earth Science Data Systems NASA and SATIN. Remote sensing data were processed using SeaDAS and ArcGIS programs. Ground data were obtained from the resources of the Unified State System of Information about the Situation in the World Ocean (ESIMO). An ArcGIS database was created and maps compiled.Results. The first upwelling occurred on 9-17 June 2020. The minimum water temperature in the Makhachkala area was 14°C with an increase in salinity to 12%o over an area of 1,500 sq.km. An increase in the content of dissolved oxygen of up to 9.70 mg/l and pH 8.64 was recorded. A second upwelling of medium intensity occurred from 19 June-July 1 with a minimum temperature of 17.9C. The decrease in temperature was 2.8°C with an increase in salinity by 1%o. The surface area was 454 sq.km. A third case of upwelling was recorded from 26 August-September 1 and was characterised by a decrease in water temperature of 7.4C (near the coast, 17.1°C). The average salinity increase was 0.32%o while the 02 concentration was 8 mg/l over an area of 500 sq.km.

Conclusion. Due to its large size, the Caspian Sea is characterised by spatial inhomogeneity of oceanological parameters, which can be recorded based on the results of processing satellite images and their verification using ground data. In the western part of the sea the upwelling is periodic and of different scales.

Aim. To estimate the humus content and stocks of arable chernozems of two soil-ecological zones (Predcaucasia and Yuzhno-Russkaya) within the Rostov region, as well as the possibility of the optimization of the state of their humus under current conditions.Material and Methods. The following data sources were used: soil and general geographic information accumulated in the Soil-geographic Database of the Russian Federation information system, the Red Book of the Rostov Region Soils database, digitised archived soil survey data of 1977-1995 and agrochemical monitoring data of 2012-2017.Results. The stabilisation of the humus content of the arable chernozems of the Predcaucasian zone in recent decades has been demonstrated and can be explained by a decrease in the dehumification rate under minimal tillage. The average humus content in the soils of the Yuzhno-Russkaya zone decreased by approximately 0.5% during the same period, which may be caused by the high proportion of row-crops cultivated in an erosion-prone area. The current average humus content in arable chernozems is very low, it is close to the critical level, below which crop yield is decreased despite of sufficient mineral fertilizers using.Conclusion. The main causes of soil dehumification in the region are agrogenic humus mineralization due to a constant deficit of compensating amounts of fresh organic matter, deflation of fine soil material from ploughed surfaces and water erosion. The optimisation of land use structure and crop structure, which takes into account the characteristics of these territories, is required to reduce the intensity of these processes under current conditions.
Antibiotic allergy as a cause of hospitalization in adults: a hospital-based study in Ukraine
Authors: Horodnycha Oksana , Zimenkovsky Andriy
Published: January 2021

Background: Antibiotic allergy is an important clinical and social-economical issue.

Objective: The main objectives of this study were to determine the incidence, causative drugs, and risk groups of antibiotic allergy as a reason for hospitalization. The secondary objective was to evaluate the treatment of antibiotic allergy through the identification of drug related problems (DRPs).

Methods: This retrospective hospital-based study was carried out in one of Lviv city hospitals (Ukraine) from January 2015 to December 2017. Patients with antibiotic allergy as a cause for hospitalization were included in this study.

Results: In this study the incidence of antibiotic allergy was 2.0% (95%СI 1.6:2.4) of all admissions to the Unit that provides special medical care for adult inpatients with allergy diseases and allergy reactions. The mean age of patients was 48.5 years (SD=17.0; range 18-83 years) with female predominance (78.2%; 95%СI 68.9:85.2). Antibiotic hypersensitivity reactions manifested as urticaria with angioedema (52.5%; 95%СI 42.3:62.5), urticaria (36.6%; 95%СI 27.8:46.8) or angioedema (10.9%; 95%СI 5.6:18.7). Beta-lactams (48.5%; 95%СI 38.5:58.7), fluoroquinolones (13.9%; 95%СI 7.8%:22.2%) and macrolides (7.9%; 95%СI 3.5:15.0) were specified as the main causative drugs. All patients during hospitalization (a mean of 8.2 days; SD=2.2; range 2-13 days) took at least 3 medicines (a mean of 5.4 medicines per patient; SD=1.2; range 3-12 medicines). The total number of identified DRPs was 400, a mean of 4.0 DRPs per patient (SD=1.8). The most frequently identified type of DRPs was inappropriate route of drug administration (25.0%; 95%СI 20.8:29.5). This was followed by duplicate prescriptions (23.5%; 95%СI 19.4:28.0) and insufficient frequency of drug administration (19.0%; 95%СI 15.3:23.2). Potential drug-drug interactions and inappropriate drug prescriptions each accounted for 16.0% (95% СI 12.6:20.0) of all DRPs. Comparing all above items in 2015, 2016 and 2017 showed no statistically significant changes (p˃0.05).

Conclusions: Antibiotic allergy is a common reason for admissions. The treatment of antibiotic allergy is associated with numerous DRPs. Our results could be useful for development of strategies for improving the safety and quality of pharmacotherapy.

Published: January 2021

Background: The provision of information by pharmacy staff is a key factor to ensure patients’ understanding and quality use of medications, including antibiotics. However, little is known regarding the transmission of information between pharmacy staff and patients in Indonesia.

Objective: This study aimed to identify information on antibiotics provided by pharmacy staff and recalled by patients in an Indonesian outpatient setting.

Methods: The study was conducted in a hospital outpatient clinic in Malang, Indonesia, in 2019. A checklist was used to obtain the data on information provided by pharmacy staff, while interviews were conducted to determine information recalled by patients (only presenting patients were included); a total of 15 information items – i.e. 14 essential and one secondary – were observed. Descriptive analysis was used to summarise data on the checklists (‘given’ versus ‘not given’) as well as responses from the interviews (‘recalled’ versus ‘missed’).

Results: Eleven pharmacy staff (two pharmacists and nine pharmacy technicians) were involved in providing information for patients obtaining oral antibiotics during the study period. Of 14 essential information items, only about half was given by pharmacy staff, with pharmacists significantly providing on average more information items than pharmacy technicians (7.96 versus 7.67 respectively; p<0.001). The most frequently information items provided (>90%) included “antibiotic identification”, “indication”, administration directions (i.e. “dosage”, “frequency”, “hour of administration”, “administration before/after meal”, “route of administration”), and “duration of use”. A total of 230 patients consented to the study, giving 79.9% response rate. The average number of information items recalled by patients was 7.09 (SD 1.45). Almost all patients could recall information on administration directions [i.e. “route of administration” (97.0%), “frequency” (95.2%), “dosage” (92.6%), “hour of administration” (85.7%), “administration before/after meal” (89.1%)] and “duration of use” (90.9%). Fewer patients were able to recall “antibiotic identification” (76.5%) and “indication” (77.0%).

Conclusions: Pharmacy staff provided antibiotic information in a limited fashion, while patients showed adequate ability to recall the information given to them. Further study is needed to better understand the effective process of information transmission between pharmacy staff and patients, especially if more information was provided, to better optimise the use of antibiotics in outpatient settings in Indonesia.

The teacher as a child-rearer or the teacher as an educator. Two views of education workers on the teacher’s role
Authors: Pawłowska Beata
Published: January 2021

Teaching is a learned and practiced profession. In the course of their activities, the teacher influences the formation of attitudes, and the views and awareness of children and adolescents. Teaching should prepare young people “to independently manage the development of their own personality, to undertake valuable goals and to choose responsible life paths”. The teacher’s work situation results from the role that the teacher plays in the process of the socialization and education of children and adolescents. This article addresses the problem of the differentiation of the role of the teacher in the education process in Poland in terms of two variables – education and upbringing (child-rearing). It answers the question of whether and how the perception of the teaching profession has changed in the perception of people practicing this profession. How do teachers who are currently retired teachers see the profession and role of the teacher, and how are teachers currently practicing this profession? Is/was the Polish teacher a child-rearer or rather an educator, understood here as a person imparting knowledge? How does the occupation affect the perception of oneself, from the perspective of two groups of surveyed teachers (currently employed and retired)? All the reflections contained in the article are based on interviews with retired and currently working teachers. These interviews were part of a wider research project conducted in recent years by the author of the article in Polish educational institutions. The research took the form of ethnographic field research.

Published: January 2021

A significant challenge for plant gene editing is the delivery of editing reagents to germline or regenerable cells to recover heritable genetic modifications. Reagent delivery using biolistics or Agrobacterium is only possible with a limited range of species and genotypes, and inefficient editing or lengthy tissue culture steps further limit throughput. Viruses are natural vectors for nucleic acids, and both DNA and RNA plant viruses have been engineered to extend or replace conventional vectors for delivery of gene editing reagents. Here, we review aspects of viral biology essential for engineering vectors, highlight landmark studies using viruses to overcome traditional limitations in gene editing, and outline important considerations for the use of viral vectors in new systems or for new targets. Motivated by fundamental differences in both their infection modes and utility as vectors, DNA and RNA viruses are treated separately.

Liquid organic fertilizer from bamboo shoots is an alternative substitute for chemical fertilizers in the planting of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frustescens L.) hydroponically. This study aims to determine the effect of bamboo shoot liquid organic fertilizer on hydroponic cayenne pepper pre-antithesis growth. The study was conducted at the Biology Laboratory of UIN Raden Intan Lampung, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments with 3 replications. The treatments included negative control (water), positive control (AB mix), P1 = 10%, P2 = 15%, P3 = 20%, P4 = 25% ml. The parameters include plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, plant fresh weight. Data were analyzed using One Way Anova (SPSS 17.0), followed by LSD at the 5% level. The results show the effect of treatment on all parameters. Control positive (AB mix) gave the best results on all parameters, then successively treated P4, P3, P2, P1, K0 (negative control). Although not as good as using an AB mix solution, the administration of bamboo shoots POC with a concentration of 25% can support the growth of hydroponic cayenne pre-synthesis.

Published: January 2021

Picturebooks were considered the most original and relevant contribution made by children’s literature to canonical literature. This typology promotes creativity and experimentation, combining playfulness with artistic sophistication. For their part, wordless picturebooks, whose narrativity is found exclusively in the sequence of illustrations, bring forth questions as to whether they can be considered literature. Wordless picturebooks challenge traditional theoretical approaches and demand a complementary approach that encompasses all of the book’s elements. The scarce verbal component reinforces the meaning of the content and requires a more detailed reading of the illustrations. Using relevant examples, this paper aims to debate the inclusion of wordless picturebooks in the literary domain, through a reading that encompasses aesthetic criteria, with emphasis on narrativity.

This essay explores the nature of light in terms of personal experience, but also its emotional, poetic, and philosophical implications. Even when Plato is not quoted, the myth of the cave is implicitly discussed, in terms of the meaning of light as that which literally illuminates and creates belonging and, at the same time, also produces shadows, which are not —in this essay— the pale reflection of reality, but rather the unique and ephemeral traces of a true exercise of memory.

Varfarin, dünyada trombozun önlenmesi amacıyla çok sayıda endikasyonda ve çok sayıda farklı branşta hekimce en yaygın kullanılan antikoagülandır. Dar bir terapötik indekse sahip olmasının yanı sıra çok sayıda ilaç ve bitki ile ciddi etkileşmeleri de vardır. Her ne kadar yakın zamanda alternatif oral antikoagülan ajanlar geliştirilmiş olsa da bunların antifosfolipid antikor sendromu, sistemik lupus eritematoz gibi romatolojik hastalıklarda etkin ve güvenli olduğuna dair yeterli kanıt yoktur. Bu nedenle varfarin metabolizmasının genetik etkenlerden belirgin etkilendiğini bilmek, yan etkilerini, ilaç ve gıda etkileşmelerini daha iyi tanımak, toksisite ve komplikasyon olduğu zaman hızlı ve doğru karar verebilmenin önemini vurgulamak gerekiyor.

O Brasil, apesar de ser um país de dimensões continentais, com potencial de geração elétrica de diversas fontes, possui hoje uma matriz elétrica baseada predominantemente em hidroeletricidade. Nos dias atuais a fonte hídrica é responsável por gerar cerca de 63,38% de todo o potencial elétrico gerado no país, enquanto a segunda fonte mais utilizada, a fóssil, é responsável pela geração de apenas 16,13% deste potencial. Portanto, tendo em vista a necessidade de expansão de formas alternativas à energia hidráulica, o presente trabalho faz uma breve análise da Matriz Elétrica Brasileira - MEB, como forma de fundamentação da problemática apresentada e também para informação. Ao final da pesquisa será possível confirmar a exagerada dependência que a matriz elétrica brasileira possui pela fonte hídrica, principalmente pelas hidrelétricas. Se confirmará também a necessidade de diversificação da matriz elétrica brasileira e se notará uma breve movimentação em prol desta diversificação.

As áreas costeiras, inclusive os manguezais, sofrem diversos impactos oriundos da expansão urbana nos litorais que muitas vezes ocorre de forma irregular e sem adequado planejamento, culminando com a precariedade ou falta de saneamento básico, com o descarte de efluentes in natura nos manguezais. O objetivo foi de avaliar a qualidade ambiental utilizando parâmetros microbiológicos, coliformes totais e termotolerantes, e físico-químicos da água de dois pontos com diferentes graus de urbanização do manguezal de Gargaú, Norte Fluminense. Utilizou-se o Método dos Tubos Múltiplos para quantificação de coliformes totais e termotolerantes e potenciômetros para análise dos parâmetros físico-químicos (condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido, pH, salinidade e temperatura). Não houve diferença estatística entre os dois pontos amostrais. As médias de todos os parâmetros físico-químicos são similares às encontradas na literatura, exceto para as concentrações de oxigênio dissolvido. Os resultados de coliformes totais e termotolerantes apresentaram correlações significativas com os pH e temperatura. O ponto 1 tem afetado o ponto 2. É necessário ações de conservação devido sua importância para o equilíbrio ecossistêmico e comunidade local.
Arquivos documentais e visitação: trabalhando com a memória institucional
Authors: Alves Henrique Barreiros
Published: January 2021

Aborda as temáticas do patrimônio e da identidade institucional, através do relato de experiência, dando prosseguimento às ações do Centro de Memória do Campus Macaé do IFFluminense. Nesta fase do projeto, trabalha-se a memória do lugar por meio da realização de visitação ao campus, por meio da modalidade guiada, bem como da “autoguiada”. Durante a visitação, são realizadas remissões à história e à memória dos “microespaços” institucionais, de forma que sejam compreensíveis as diversas etapas de transformação pelas quais estiveram expostos ao longo do tempo. Para este intento, foram instalados banners fixos em local de grande circulação, além de pequenas placas em outros locais do campus, com a tendência de inclusão de novas placas ao longo do projeto, assim como a galeria de diretores. Outra vertente, ainda em elaboração, visa ao tratamento do arquivo institucional, o qual conta com variados tipos de documentos,de textuais a imagens, tanto em suporte físico como digital. O arquivo está sendo organizado seguindo os preceitos básicos da arquivologia, e vem sendo disponibilizado à medida que o trabalho avança. O catálogo com os documentos já disponíveis pode ser acessado on-line pelo Sistema de Bibliotecas do IFFluminense.

Influencia del contexto internacional sobre la firma del tratado de reconocimiento dominico-español en 1855
Authors: Escolano Giménez Luis Alfonso
Published: January 2021

El periodo alrededor del tratado de reconocimiento entre España y la República Dominicana en 1855 es fundamental para estudiar las causas de la intervención extranjera en el país caribeño, pues revela las dinámicas internas y externas que condujeron a una grave inestabilidad derivada de las luchas entre grupos locales, apoyados por diferentes países con sus propios objetivos. Bajo el pretexto de mediar entre haitianos y dominicanos, las principales potencias rivalizaron por aumentar su influencia sobre el ejecutivo de Santo Domingo, al principio mediante el establecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas. Aunque las primeras iniciativas del gobierno dominicano para llegar a un acuerdo con España fueron rechazadas por el gabinete de Madrid, este decidió finalmente establecer relaciones con el de Santo Domingo para actuar sobre el terreno y obstaculizar el expansionismo estadounidense en la República Dominicana, ya que las autoridades españolas de Cuba y Puerto Rico lo consideraban una amenaza para la preservación de dichas islas.
El Zurriago Social (1902-1904): un semanario entre el tradicionalismo y la doctrina social de la iglesia
Authors: González Unay José
Published: January 2021

En 1902 comienza a publicarse en la localidad asturiana de Pravia El Zurriago Social, semanario católico creado por Maximiliano Arboleya con el objetivo de combatir a socialistas y republicanos en la región y complementar así indirectamente al diario ovetense El Carbayón, también bajo su control. El carácter batallador y ultramontano atribuido tradicionalmente al semanario casa poco con la imagen más moderada y alejada de las tendencias más reaccionarias de la Iglesia católica con que Maximiliano Arboleya ha pasado a la historia. Este artículo pretende trazar un estudio preliminar sobre el semanario a nivel tipológico, formal y de contenido tras la realización de una lectura y análisis sistemático de todos sus números, dado lo poco que ha trascendido de El Zurriago en la historiografía hasta el momento.
Los filmes de animación en los cines del Madrid de entreguerras (1916-1939)
Authors: Tirado Gonzalo
Published: January 2021

En este estudio se indaga en la difusión que las producciones de cine de animación tuvieron en las salas de Madrid desde las primeras proyecciones de las que se tiene noticia, en torno a 1916, hasta el final de la Guerra Civil. El principal objetivo es constatar si los filmes de animación extranjeros llegaron a España de forma regular y también si las producciones españolas tuvieron presencia en las salas durante ese período. Las fuentes utilizadas son las secciones de cartelera que aparecen en los periódicos de la época, así como las revistas especializadas en cine y espectáculos. Partiendo de esto, se realizará un análisis cuantitativo de las carteleras de prensa, aunque dentro de una visión de conjunto, complementado todo con el análisis cualitativo de otras publicaciones del período.

La configuración de las élites políticas urbanas gallegas en el primer franquismo (1936-1951)
Authors: Presas Sobrado Adrián
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo muestra que la configuración de la élite política urbana de la dictadura franquista en siete ciudades españolas parte del uso de hombres sin un pasado político. Gracias al estudio de la continuidad y la discontinuidad de esas élites locales, en la larga duración, la idea historiográfica sobre el mantenimiento de un sistema político continuador del caciquismo restauracionista, o de simple recuperación de la cultura política de la derecha española tradicional, en vista de los resultados obtenidos, puede ser discutida. El objetivo del trabajo es abrir un campo de debate sobre posiciones teóricas bien asentadas en la academia española.
El PCE en la lupa de la brigada político social. Los comunistas en los boletines policiales (1938-1975)
Authors: Alcántara Pérez Pablo
Published: January 2021

Los comunistas, y concretamente el PCE, siempre fueron uno de los principales objetivos por parte de las fuerzas de orden público franquistas. Tanto por convertirse a lo largo de las décadas en la principal fuerza de oposición al régimen a través del movimiento obrero, estudiantil y después en otros sectores sociales como los intelectuales, la cultura o las profesiones liberales, como por el anticomunismo intrínseco del régimen. Por ello, la policía, y concretamente la Brigada Político Social, le dedico una especial atención a la hora de realizar sus análisis sobre la situación interna del país. En un primer momento, a través de los conocidos Boletines Anti-Marxistas, realizados por Eduardo Comín Colomer, policía y escritor propagandista, y que tuvieron una duración de 1938 hasta 1945, y que tienen un contenido más ideológico que práctico. A partir de 1946, se empiezan a editar los Boletines de Investigación Social, que contienen información más precisa sobre las detenciones, las personas a las que detienen, la propaganda que incautaban, etc. La idea de este artículo sería hacer un análisis comparado de cómo va cambiando la visión sobre los comunistas a lo largo de la dictadura por parte de la BPS, según sus intereses, prácticas policiales, a través de estos informes, una de las principales fuentes policiales.
Las elecciones sindicales de 1982
Authors: Suárez Sánchez Juan José
Published: January 2021

Las relaciones entre los dos grandes sindicatos en España fluctuaron durante la transición democrática en función de varios factores políticos y de diversas estrategias sindicales, algunas de ellas fundamentadas en la aceptación o el rechazo de los pactos sociales. En el año 1982, la competencia por el voto obrero en las elecciones sindicales fue otro factor que enturbió las relaciones entre UGT y CCOO, dando lugar a una agria polémica sobre las fechas de cómputo electoral, con acusaciones de fraude, y con la negativa de CCOO de reconocer la victoria de UGT. La salida de este ambiente de confrontación fue una sorprendente apuesta de CCOO por la unidad sindical.
La Administración bajo ocupación: evaluaciones de un dilema
Authors: Romijn Peter
Published: January 2021

Este texto explora la relevancia del estudio de la Administración para el análisis de los regímenes de ocupación en el marco de la II Guerra Mundial. Para ello, el artículo se centra en el estudio de caso de las autoridades locales holandesas, que jugaron un importante papel tanto en las realidades de ocupación y adaptación como en las dinámicas de opresión y colaboración, aparentemente contradictorias. Esta contribución también se ocupa de los parámetros a través de los cuales se ejerció la justicia transicional y se abordó la recuperación de la sociedad holandesa después de la ocupación nazi.
