Länsimaiselle demokratialle tärkeiden rakenteiden on esitetty kohtaavan haasteita liittyen Venäjän levittämään disinformaatioon sekä näiden maiden omien viestimien valmiuteen levittää sitä. Tavoite kamppailla epäoikeudenmukaisena pitämäänsä länsimaista mediahegemoniaa vastaan luo kosketuspintaa Venäjän ja useiden länsimaiden sisäisten toimijoiden välille, vaikka niiden toimikentät ja taustavoimat ovat huomattavan erilaisia. Mitä Venäjän hallinnon strategisia narratiiveja välittyy kansainvälisten tietovirtaverkostojen välityksellä kansallisten kielimuurien taakse ja millä tavoin? Tässä artikkelissa selvitän näitä kysymyksiä sisällönanalyysin avulla, keskittyen kuuden suomalaisen vastamedian kuratoimiin kansainvälisten uutistoimistojen RT:n (Russia Today) ja Sputnikin aineistoihin. Näiden aineistojen määrällinen ja laadullinen käyttötapa vaihteli eri vastamedioiden välillä huomattavasti. Vähiten RT:n ja Sputnikin aineistoja muokattiin lyhyissä raporteissa aseellisista kansainvälisistä konflikteista ja eniten liittyen länsimaiden sisäisiin jännitteisiin, jotka usein esitettiin etnisten jännitteiden näkökulmasta.

The Burden of the Female Body: An Islamic Feminist Reading of Qaisra Shahraz’s Typhoon
Authors: ISHAQUE NAUSHEEN
Published: June 2021

A sequel to The Holy Woman(2001), Typhoon(2003) is Qaisra Shahraz’s second novel. This paper analyses how Shahraz continues problematizing female sexuality and the politics attached to it, especially in rural Pakistan. It dilates upon the discourse that surrounds the female body and sexuality in Pakistan society within and outside the framework of marriage. What is at stake is that women’s own sexuality becomes a burden for them. On the contrary, men take pride in their masculinity which gives authenticity to their voice. The cultural colonization of women’s lives (as it appears in Shahraz’s novel) is addressed under the theoretical rationale of Islamic feminism. This is done with the aim to locate the space granted to women in Islam, especially when it comes to the female body and its sexuality.

Can Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions Contain the Spreading of Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the Asia Pacific Countries?
Authors: Rahman Rashidur , Hossain Amjad , Mozibullah Md , Afrose Afrina
Published: June 2021

A novel coronavirus, namely SARS-CoV-2, has emerged rapidly and overspread worldwide, causing a pandemic disease, COVID-19. Until now, no pharmaceutical interventions specific to the COVID-19 infection has been proven effective. In these circumstances, non-pharmaceutical interventions, for example, banning local and international flights, national lockdowns of cities, social distancing, self-isolation, home-quarantine, the closure of schools and universities, closure of government and private offices, banning of mass gatherings would play a vital role in minimizing the primary reproduction number (R0) in expected level. Many Asia Pacific countries, Bangladesh, China, India, Iran, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Vietnam, adopt, practice, and implement those non-pharmaceutical interventions and have success stories. Thereby, non-pharmaceutical interventions can contain the virus's spreading, which further reduces long waiting for the healthcare system's hospitalization and burden.
An integrative Approach for Wellness: An assessment of potential of Ayurveda during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Chauhan Richa , Maheshwari Nidhi
Published: June 2021

The integrative approach for wellness has become an arena where integrating the indigenous practice with the dominant bio-medical system has activated a transformation process. Further, a debate characterized by fundamental dichotomies of health/wellness is there to find an approach in agreement with holistic wellness. The limitations of protocol-driven medical science and avoiding the patient behind the patient have again compelled us during this pandemic to explore holistic health.
This paper presents an analysis and explores the feasibility of Ayurveda as an integrative system to wellness and tests the Ayurveda concept of holistic wellness against three such dichotomies: 'health' vs wellness, 'body' vs 'mind,' and 'curative vs. preventive,' where the current medical model can be said to represent the first elements in the three dichotomies.
Keeping the current Covid-19 pandemic as a critical incident, researchers tried to justify that the synergistic confluence will act as a complementary/supportive knowledge in humanity's struggle against the pandemic. For synergistic confluence of Ayurveda and medical Science, the scientist's temperament and evidence-based medical science approach should be applied to validate the principles and therapies of Ayurveda.
The Future of Allied Health leadership in New Zealand-Aotearoa: A literature review
Authors: George Rebecca Kate , Webster Karen
Published: June 2021

Background: The allied heath, scientific and technical (allied health) workforce is the second largest workforce in New Zealand, providing diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative services. Increasingly consumers present with complex conditions requiring multiprofessional integrated services and a legacy of profession-focused leadership development is being challenged. [1] Future health and disability systems require leaders prepared to lead complex services, less focussed on their professional background and more on understanding their interprofessional services. [2, 3] The Allied health workforce is well placed to lead these systems, providing interprofessional experience, a biopsychosocial lens and collaborative models of practice.
Aim: To provide an understanding of the literature and research available that addresses the leadership of healthcare services by allied health clinicians.
Methodology: An initial database review was completed using a systematic approach, across CINAHL complete; EBSCO Business; Medline; and EBSCO Health databases from March 2020 to September 2020. An expanded search used Google Scholar and NZ, UK and Australian based government websites to access institutional documents, such as policies, reviews and reports.
Results: The review identified an emerging pool of research on allied health leadership in Australia and the UK but a paucity of literature on allied health leadership in New Zealand. Three themes were identified and explored within the article: health leadership frameworks, current state and barriers and enablers identified.
Conclusions: Literature advocates for a broader scope of clinicians into strategic leadership roles. Despite evidence of strategic allied health roles in New Zealand there remains a dearth of literature on allied health leadership. To foster and sustain the development of allied health leaders in New Zealand it is important to understand the enablers that impact this process.

Leadership and Management in the Time of Pandemics
Authors: Briggs David
Published: June 2021

I proposed that I would start this editorial with the phrase ‘that we live in interesting times…’given the ongoing challenge to all is the Covid_19 pandemic. The alleged origin of the phrase is said to be from a Chinese curse ‘may you live in interesting times’ but is found not to be directly attributable to a Chinese source, but it does use irony to suggest we are living in difficult and challenging times. It was subsequently used by the likes of Joseph Chamberlain and more recently in the 1960s by the then USA President John F Kennedy. [1] Either way most of us know that pandemics, dissent, war, and environmental disasters are not new and recent, but have occurred throughout history and are repeated often enough for most of us to have some experience or memories of those events.......
MAX BLECHER’S CENTRAL EUROPEAN AFFINITIES
Authors: GLĂVAN Gabriela
Published: June 2021

Max Blecher’s Central European Affinities. Max Blecher’s connections with the Central European literary imaginary, which scholars have established through readings that place Blecher in the proximity of authors such as Bruno Schulz or Franz Kafka, could be revisited not only comparatively, but also by tackling some key issues in his work and biography that may confirm the writer’s belonging to this vast intellectual territory. Provincial spaces, marginality, uncertainties regarding identity, existential confusion, immaturity, the pervasiveness of objects and of the artificial, they all reveal a perspective upon literature that may function, in the absence of a geographical belonging, as a bridge and connection between worlds that mirror each other’s essence and difference.
REZUMAT. Max Blecher – afinități central-europene. Conectarea lui Max Blecher la imaginarul central-european, consolidată critic prin asocieri cu Franz Kafka sau Bruno Schulz, poate fi rediscutată nu doar din perspectivă comparativă, ci și prin explorarea unor aspecte ce-i pot justifica direct apartenența la acest vast teritoriu intelectual. Provincia, marginalitatea, incertitudinea identității, confuzia, imaturitatea, invazia obiectelor și a artificialului revelează o viziune literară ce poate funcționa, în absența unei apartenențe geografice, ca punte și conector între lumi ce-și expun în oglindă specificul și diferența.

REQUIEM FOR AN IDENTITY: ANALYZING REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SELF IN “SONG OF MYSELF”
Authors: MUDURE-IACOB Ioana
Published: June 2021

Requiem for an Identity: Analyzing Representations of the Self in Song of Myself. The paper explores the introspection into the experience of selfhood by deconstructing the representation of identity into four stances – the poetic self, the self as other, the deistic/ heroic self and the bohemian self. The pairing into dual and opposing sets and their subsequent distribution in the framework of syzygial unity-in-duality is meant to render a more punctual picture of Whitman’s plethora of identifications in Song of Myself. The analysis sets into motion the identity of “I”, showing that the conundrum of identity is given by specific and independent identifications of the self with figures of the American society and imaginary. The validation of the multifaceted “I” embedded in the self-discovery is made by approaching the addressability of I-You autoscopies, in an attempt to restore identity through the filter of readership.
REZUMAT. Recviem pentru o identitate: Analiza reprezentărilor sinelui în Song of Myself. Această lucrare explorează introspecția în experiența sinelui, deconstruind reprezentările sinelui în patru ipostaze - sinele poetic, sinele ca celălalt, sinele deist/ erou și sinele boem. Asocierea acestor ipostaze în seturi duale și opozante și distribuția acestora în dualitatea unității sizigiale are rolul de a schița o imagine punctuală a multitudinii de identificări din Song of Myself. Analiza pune în mișcare identitatea “eu-lui”, indicând că enigma identității este schițată de identificări specifice și independente ale sinelui cu imagini ale societății americane și ale imaginarului. Validarea “Eu-lui” multilateral integrat în descoperirea sinelui se face prin referirea la adresabilitatea autoscopiilor Eu-tu, într-o încercare de a reface identitatea prin filtrul cititorului.

DICTATORSHIP, MACHISMO, AND THE CUBAN EXILE DRAMA IN A TRAGICOMIC MODE: CRISTINA GARCÍA’S “KING OF CUBA”
Authors: POPESCU Veronica Tatiana
Published: June 2021

Dictatorship, Machismo, and the Cuban Exile Drama in a Tragicomic Mode: Cristina García’s King of Cuba. Three years before the death of Fidel Castro, Cuban American author Cristina García published a fictional account of the Cuban dictator’s death in a darkly funny and sentimental story of intertwined destinies, ironies of fate, machismo, failure and suffering. With El Comandante and a fellow octogenarian émigré as protagonists, García launches into a fictional exploration of Cuban masculinity, machismo, the dictator’s fate, vanity, and failure. Written in what I will argue is a tragicomic mode, balancing the tragic and the comic, the horrendous and the laughable, the pitiful and the ridiculous, the novel reflects different perspectives on sensitive topics for Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits, challenging preconceived ideas and inviting the reader to reflect on the relativity of truth.
REZUMAT. Dictatură, machism și drama comunității cubaneze din Statele Unite în manieră tragi-comică: King of Cuba de Cristina García. Cu trei ani înaintea morții lui Fidel Castro, autoarea americană de origine cubaneză, Cristina García, publica o întruchipare imaginară a morții dictatorului cubanez într-o poveste sentimentală, scrisă cu umor negru, în care găsim destine încrucișate, ironii ale sorții, machism, ratare și suferință. Protagoniștii sunt doi octogenari: El Comandante și un cubanez care trăiește în exil. Cu ajutorul lor García abordează teme precum masculinitate cubaneză, machism, condiția dictatorului, vanitate și ratare. Scrisă într-o manieră tragi-comică, alternând în mod echilibrat tragicul și comicul, oribilul și rizibilul, jalnicul și ridicolul, romanul reflectă diferite perspective asupra unor teme sensibile pentru comunitățile cubaneze de o parte și de alta a Strâmtorii Florida, atacând ideile preconcepute și invitându-l pe cititor să reflecteze asupra relativității adevărului.

MODIFICATION VERSUS COMPLEMENTATION IN THE STRUCTURE OF ENGLISH NOUN PHRASES
Authors: PREDA Alina
Published: June 2021

Modification versus Complementation in the Structure of English Noun Phrases. Apart from its head, the core element around which all the other phrasal constituents cluster, the noun phrase may contain dependent elements effecting determination (which poses few taxonomical issues), modification or complementation (two functions notoriously difficult to demarcate). This article outlines the inconsistent ways in which reference grammars make the distinction between modification and complementation in the structure of English noun phrases, and offers a more unified approach aimed to solve the terminological quandary.
 REZUMAT. Structura grupului nominal din limba engleză. Se remarcă, ȋn structura sintagmelor nominale din limba engleză, constituenți greu de clasificat ca realizând complementarea sau tipul de determinare cunoscut ȋn engleză drept modification (ȋn contrast cu cel numit determination, foarte ușor de identificat), ceea ce a dat naștere unor analize contradictorii ȋn literatura de specialitate. Pornind de la dificultăţile în analiză create de similaritatea anumitor elemente direct dependente sintactic de termenul nominal cu rol de centru al respectivului grup, acest articol examinează structura sintagmelor nominale aşa cum este ea prezentată în gramatica practică a limbii engleze, prin analiza comparativă a diferitelor publicaţii de acest gen.

EXPRESSIVE ENACTMENTS OF ETHNIC MEMBERSHIP IN THE ROMANIAN-AMERICAN ORGANIZATIONS FROM CALIFORNIA
Authors: ROGOVEANU Raluca
Published: June 2021

Expressive Enactments of Ethnic Membership in the Romanian-American Organizations from California. Centered on the missions and repertoires of the Romanian ethnic organizations in California, this study analyzes how Romanian-Americans negotiate their Romanian ethnicity as individuals and as members of organized groups. While describing ethnic organizations as loci of ethnic awareness, founded on the expressive identification of Romanian-ness in the American space, my focus is on the heterogeneous discourses of the most visible Romanian ethnic associations in California. This study identifies ways of "encapsulating" Romanian ethnicity in ensembles of cultural practices which showcase ethnic culture through artifacts and cultural events as signifiers of ethnicity.
REZUMAT. Reprezentări expresive ale apartenenţei etnice in organizaţiile româno-americanilor din California. Lucrarea analizează misiunea și reprezentările culturale ale organizațiilor etnice românesti din California și pune in evidență modul în care româno-americanii își negociază apartenența etnică în calitate de indivizi și ca membri ai unui grup etnic. Organizațiile românesti sunt descrise ca spații ale cunoașterii etnice, construite pe baza unei viziuni despre "spiritul românesc" în Statele Unite. Studiul analizează discursurile eterogene ale celor mai vizibile asociații etnice româneşti din California și identifică principalele practici culturale ale acestora care încapsulează cultura românească în artefacte și evenimente culturale, mărci ale etnicităţii.

EXAMINING COMPETENCE IN ACTION RESEARCH OF BASIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES
Authors: Tan Cortes Sylvester , Pineda Hedeliza Arcenal , Geverola Immar Jun Robledo
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: This study examined the self-perceived competence in action research components of basic education teachers in Cebu City as one form of identifying their challenges in doing AR. The results aimed to provide baseline information for the planned professional development program.
 
Methodology: It employed a sequential explanatory design (QUAN→qual). It is characterized by collecting and analyzing quantitative data in the primary phase and then by collecting and analyzing qualitative data. There were 166 teachers who participated in the online survey. These teachers previously underwent professional development programs in designing AR projects, and two-thirds did an AR. Using their responses, they were grouped through a hierarchical clustering technique to create distinct groups of teachers sharing the similarity of competence or needs in the AR components. The cluster analysis yields four groups. Eventually, eight teachers were interviewed regarding their responses, which means two teachers represented each cluster.
 
Findings: For very few teachers in cluster one (n=4), they regard selecting AR topic, planning the project, analyzing and presenting data, and integrating ethics as areas of non-difficulty while integrating technology, reflecting on AR, and communicating results as areas of difficulty. For the majority of the teachers belonging in cluster 2 (n=76), cluster 3 (n=37), and cluster 4 (n=49), all AR components are regarded as difficult, indicating all are critical areas for professional development.
Contributions: A conventional way of conducting needs assessment of teachers’ competence in AR as a basis for professional development program is done through calculating the mean and standard deviation per AR competence or skills of all teachers participating in a survey. However, this method disregards the individual professional needs of teachers as it presents the general level of competence in each skill set. The professional needs may vary from one teacher to another. Thus, this study presents a novel way of examining teachers’ needs in AR by using cluster analysis to homogenously group participants according to the similarity of their responses or professional needs. This gives key reference points on which AR skills need to be improved for teachers belonging to the same group when planning a teacher development program in AR.
 
Keywords: Action research, competence, in-service teacher, professional development, teacher research.

OCEAN LITERACY OF PRIMARY STUDENTS OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
Authors: Aboulail Fadi Saad , Ahmad Tajuddin Azza Jauhar
Published: June 2021

Background and Purpose: Recently, human impacts on marine ecosystems have intensified as the population and pressures increase. Human-originated pollutants of all kinds have impacted the oceans and the marine ecosystems. Oil spills, sewage, plastics, chemicals, garbage, carbon dioxide, and overfishing are the most challenging issues. It is known that school students are the future generation; they receive their information at school. Therefore, it is essential to assess students' knowledge and awareness regarding ocean related issues.
 
Methodology: This study investigated ocean literacy (OL) of primary school students at international schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, based on the seven principles of ocean literacy. Resources from which children get information about the oceans was also investigated. Finally, the study investigated the attitudes of primary school students towards learning oceanography, protecting the oceans, and the relationship between humans and the environment. A questionnaire had been adapted from the Survey of Ocean Literacy and Experience (SOLE) and the Survey of Ocean Stewardship (SOS). The SOLE and SOS surveys had been developed originally by Greely (2008). However, due to the grade level of students and time issues, the number of questionnaire items were reduced and simplified. The questionnaire was distributed in two separate sessions. Students from three international schools, boys' sections, received the survey. 120 students answered the SOLE, and 102 students answered the SOS.
 
Findings: Results indicated a rather moderate level of ocean literacy of participants with a mean score of 12.56 (SD= 5.18) concerning the SOLE, and a mean score of 3.30 (SD= 1.12) concerning the SOS. As for the resource of information, results indicated the education program to be the students’ main source of education, television channels came second.
 
Contributions: Students of Riyadh international primary schools showed a positive attitude toward ocean stewardship. The study can help policy makers, curriculum developers and textbook authors to better understand the level of ocean literacy among students and take decisions to develop school curricula especially in the efforts to align with UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). It also corresponds to the 2020-2030 vision in Saudi Arabia.

Accesos, usos y percepciones sobre contenidos audiovisuales en YouTube
Authors: Dughera Lucila , Bordignon Fernando Raúl Alfredo
Published: June 2021

Las plataformas han tenido en la última década, por lo menos, un crecimiento continuo y acelerado. Dentro de este contexto, los usos que las y los jóvenes realizan de estas resultan significativos. YouTube no es ajena a dicho fenómeno, más aún ha cobrado relevancia no sólo en términos cuantitativos, sino también cualitativos. Es decir, tanto en el número de suscriptores y visualizaciones, como en la variedad del contenido ofrecido. Así, en un horizonte más amplio que nos permita comprender los procesos de aprendizaje que despliegan las y los jóvenes en dichos espacios, nos proponemos, por un lado, caracterizar los usos de YouTube que realizan las y los estudiantes de escuelas técnicas de sectores populares y, por otro, describir las percepciones que tienen dichos actores respecto de esta plataforma como espacio de resolución de problemas vinculados tanto a la educación informal como a la formal. Metodológicamente, presentamos los resultados de una encuesta en línea realizada en 2019 a estudiantes del ciclo básico de escuelas secundarias públicas técnicas del partido de La Matanza, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
La dinámica de una red perinatal del conurbano bonaerense (2008-2017): encuentros entre lo planificado y la práctica
Authors: Pierini Clara
Published: June 2021

El artículo analiza la dinámica de una red perinatal regional en el conurbano bonaerense (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) entre 2008 y 2017.  Con este fin, da cuenta de los recorridos de las usuarias por los distintos niveles de la red, e indaga sobre los modos en que se relacionan y articulan los distintos actores involucrados en su atención. Además, analiza los esfuerzos de los niveles locales en la coordinación de las intervenciones orientadas a la atención perinatal, y los mecanismos de referencia y contrarreferencia que se utilizan entre los establecimientos de la red.La estrategia metodológica es cualitativa. Incluyó el relevamiento y sistematización de datos secundarios, y la elaboración y análisis de datos primarios.Finalmente, concluye que los recorridos se ven afectados por la baja articulación entre establecimientos del primer nivel de atención, la convivencia de derivaciones formales e informales, el uso discrecional de los instrumentos de referencia y contrarreferencia, y los obstáculos para derivar pacientes. Estas situaciones dificultan el funcionamiento de la red y se asocian a su informalidad. Sobresale el lugar de los gobiernos municipales y sus profesionales para enfrentar dificultades e intervenir en la organización de la red y su dinámica.
Sensibilidades legales y usos alternativos del derecho. El encierro ganadero comunitario “El Rejunte” (Figueroa, Santiago del Estero)
Authors: Fonzo Bolañez Claudia Yesica
Published: June 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunas reflexiones construidas a partir del trabajo de campo que realicé en el encierro comunitario “El Rejunte”, ubicado en Figueroa, Santiago del Estero, Argentina. En particular, lo comprendido en relación a las prácticas de gestión de conflictos rurales y a las sensibilidades legales respecto al derecho de propiedad, desplegadas por campesinos y agentes estatales involucrados en su conformación. Al etnografiar prácticas y sentidos agenciados en torno al uso del derecho estatal, pude advertir cómo estos actores (re)producen y (re)definen una política pública, las legalidades alrededor del derecho de propiedad, los sentidos y usos del territorio. Asimismo, ciertos límites en los usos alternativos de la legalidad, en cuanto no todos los grupos y personas tienen las mismas posibilidades al momento de emplearla; como a la internalización de las formas dominantes de representación del derecho en la propia conformación de la subjetividad. Es decir, pensar a estos procesos como ambiguos e inacabados, los derechos como construcciones sociales que viabilizan formas de dominación, pero también, emancipación.

Comparando pobreza laboral: Los casos de Chile y España
Authors: Zawadsky José
Published: June 2021

Esta contribución realiza un análisis comparado de la pobreza laboral en Chile y España, dando cuenta de cómo un grupo de trabajadores pertenecientes principalmente al segmento secundario forman parte de hogares en situación de pobreza. Luego de una breve introducción, revisamos la literatura respecto de la temática para conocer las principales dimensiones que inciden en la pobreza laboral. En el tercer apartado contextualizaremos los casos de estudio, para luego conocer las características y la vivencia de la pobreza laboral en ambos casos. Finalmente, identificamos las principales semejanzas y diferencias: mientras para ambos casos encontramos similares características de la situación ocupacional asociadas a la pobreza laboral, en el área de la experiencia encontramos diferencias. El estudio comparado de la pobreza laboral nos permite comprender de mejor manera los orígenes de la misma y sus diversas consecuencias, con miras a superar las discusiones sobre casos particulares y contribuir a la creación de un marco analítico general.
Reconfiguración sectorial latinoamericana
Authors: Mellado Noemí B.
Published: June 2021

Promediando el mes de noviembre de 2019 comenzó a desarrollarse la Pandemia que hoy castiga al mundo, a partir de la propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2 o COVID-19, generando un cambio de paradigma a nivel mundial en todas las dimensiones –social, económica, laboral, infraestructural, política, educativa, sanitaria, entre otras- y derivando en la conformación de una “nueva forma de vida” con la implementación de conductas que apuntan al establecimiento de una “nueva normalidad”.

Ante este nuevo escenario, los esquemas de integración han mostrado políticas disímiles en cuanto a las medidas a seguir para enfrentar la situación. Mientras la Unión Europea ha mostrado firmeza en la toma de decisiones –financieras y sanitarias sobre todo- que ayudan a sobrellevar la crisis epidemiológica, los latinoamericanos han mostrado su fragmentación por una ausencia de actitud conjunta frente al fenómeno disruptivo global que demanda conductas mancomunadas en beneficio de sus poblaciones, así como la falta de un criterio único de negociación para la adquisición de vacunas.

O presente estudo visa investigar fatores que influenciem o hábito no contexto do consumo via sites de compras coletivas. Com base no instrumento Technology Readiness Index [TRI] (PARASURAMAN, 2000), anteriormente validado para estudos no Brasil (SOUZA; LUCE, 2005), utilizou-se no modelo teórico do estudo os condutores do TRI para adoção da tecnologia, ‘Inovatividade’ e ‘Otimismo’, no intuito de verificar se estes afetam o ‘Hábito’, constructo que, no contexto da aceitação e uso de tecnologias, afeta tanto a intenção de comportamento quanto o comportamento de uso (VENKATESH; THONG; XU, 2012; NISHI, 2017). Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, foi utilizada uma abordagem quantitativa, com 65 questionários respondidos por indivíduos brasileiros, com mais de dezoito anos e residentes no ABC Paulista. Destes, 23 declararam nunca terem utilizado sites de compras coletivas, e tiveram seus resultados descartados, reduzindo o universo amostral a 43 respondentes válidos. Devido à falta de significância interna o constructo ‘Inovatividade’ foi removido do modelo teórico final, mas foi possível confirmar uma das hipóteses de pesquisa ao identificar uma correlação positiva moderada [0,445] e significante [0,003] de ‘Otimismo’ para o ‘Hábito’, que responde por 17,9% da variância do fenômeno, sendo esta a principal contribuição teórica do estudo. A reduzida base amostral dificultou o processo de análises, e pode ter influído na exclusão do constructo ‘Inovatividade’. Estudos posteriores podem aprofundar as descobertas deste artigo ao incorporar elementos de outros modelos sobre aceitação e uso de tecnologias, para melhor compreender o funcionamento do hábito, seus preditores e inibidores nas relações de consumo.

A desigualdade de gêneros é uma grande injustiça, o mercado de trabalho brasileiro traça que tanto a disparidade salarial e a discriminação ocupacional feminina são dois atributos da desigualdade de gênero que há tempos é percebida. Portanto, o presente estudo apresentou como objetivo investigar evidências de desigualdade de gênero na atuação dos contadores na região do Planalto Norte Catarinense. Desigualdade de gênero, conforme o IBGE, vem ser as diferenças sociais que existem entre os sexos e que foram construídas ao longo dos anos, no sentido único de distinguir as diferenças biológicas entre homens e mulheres. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como quantitativa no que se refere ao método de tratamento de análise dos dados, quantos aos os objetivos da pesquisa o estudo foi descritivo, e documental no que tange os procedimentos de coleta de dados. A amostra do estudo foi de 65 egressas e acadêmicas do curso de Ciências Contábeis da UnC, campus Mafra. Os resultados refletem que as mulheres ainda sofrem com a desigualdade entre gêneros, por mais que tenham o mesmo grau de escolaridade dos homens, a remuneração é inferior, evidenciando a desigualdade de gênero no contexto do mercado de trabalho contábil no Planalto Norte Catarinense. Com relação aos outros fatores como: faixa etária, porte da empresa, especialização ou mesmo tempo de serviço, não refletiram nas diferenças salariais.

Nesse sentido, é importante permitir-se à compreensão das terminologias em sua diversidade, tanto na constituição das expressões e identidades de gênero, quanto nas diferentes vivências e expressões da sexualidade que, muito mais que a rótulos sociais, estão relacionadas à representatividade e visibilidade, aspectos relevantes para a liberdade e o processo de autonomia das pessoas à medida que envelhecem.

O envelhecimento é algo notório em nossa sociedade. Adquirir anos de vida é meta almejada ao longo da história da humanidade. A expectativa de vida de 40 anos, realidade há menos de um século atrás, atinge atualmente, no Brasil, quase o seu dobro em um in-tervalo de tempo extremamente curto. Infelizmente, nas últimas décadas, apesar da conquista desses anos de vida, ocorre um perfil de adoecimento e morte de nossa população baseado no aumento substancial das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT).

Spatial Potential of Middle-Sized Towns in Slovakia: Lost Spaces of Humenné, Levice and Topoľčany
Authors: Hajduková Romana , Sopirová Alžbeta
Published: June 2021

Under the pressure from investors, Slovakia has experienced significant urban sprawl into the countryside in the last three decades. This development resulted in the loss of agricultural land, despite the fact that towns and cities in the built-up area have great potential in the vacant land lots. It is crucial to identify the lost spaces and incorporate them in the regeneration of urban structure and green infrastructure of Slovak towns and cities. The paper presents the results of the case study of lost spaces in Slovak towns that aimed to confirm the hypotheses: “Can the intensification on lost spaces within the build-up area be a better alternative than the current urban sprawl into the countryside?” and “Is it true that most lost spaces are located in the centre of towns?” The research focuses on examining the lost spaces suitable for new development and the spatial potential of the built-up urban area in three towns – Humenné, Levice, and Topoľčany. The lost spaces examined in this study are: urban fallows, vacant lots, residential green space, green space connected to public amenities and green space connected to industrial zones. The study aims to determine the area of lost spaces compared to development sites in the suburbs and to confirm the hypothesis that the intensification of urban structure is a viable alternative to the urban sprawl into the countryside. The conclusion inferred from the research has brought interesting findings and useful information for further investigation. It is crucial to find the optimum ratio between the intensification of urban structure on the land of lost spaces and leaving some space free to become a part of the blue-green infrastructure of a town, which is specific to each city. The objective of the paper is to draw attention to the potential of lost spaces as prospective areas for intensification of the urban structure of Slovak towns.
Participatory Design as a Tool for Sustainable Regional Development

Globalization changes our world too quick and regions cannot keep up. Copying mechanisms affect crafted products and architecture and create specific signs for each region. Understanding that, we can follow cultural concepts and transform them to fit the current era and sustain local identity within communities. Compared with evolution, community attachment as part of social sustainability has the same self-regulated mechanisms. The adaptation process can be achieved in different ways, but only few are truly sustainable.

To restore the sense of community and reconnect local people to their village at a deeper level, the participatory approach was tested. The process and tools well known from urban areas were applied in certain Slovak villages. As compared to participation in cities, in the rural environment, the process is more time-consuming. In theory, this should bring a result that lasts longer than that achieved by standard processes.

Methods proposed by us will have several outcomes like networking, open communication and, if successful, can be an inspiration for other villages and activists to adopt the approach. This time-demanding activity can help to support local people and show them how to coordinate themselves in the decision-making process. The bottom-up approach increases self-esteem and by place-making, small public intervention can help with communication with local municipalities. In this process, the designer acts as a facilitator of a multidisciplinary innovation project and must use own creativity to handle many challenges.

This study evaluates how white mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf extracts affect the growth, antioxidant activity, and immune response in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Mulberry leaf extracts were obtained through aqueous extraction (AE) and ethanol extraction (EE). Powder of mulberry leaf (PML) was added directly to feed and compared with the effects of feeds supplemented with the different extracts. Fish were divided into eight groups for an 8-week feeding trial where they were fed the basal diet or supplemented with 10% PML, 10% AE, 20% AE, 40% AE, 10% EE, 20% EE, or 40% EE. The inclusion of mulberry leaf extract obtained with either method showed better effects on fish growth performance, antioxidant activities and acid phosphatase activity (ACP) in serum, immune cytokine expression, and intestinal morphology as compared with controls or fish fed the 10% PML diet. The specific growth rate was significantly higher in the 10% AE, 10% EE, and 20% EE groups compared with all other groups (P<0.05). Catalase activity was significantly greater in most groups fed an extract, and in the 10% PML group, when compared with controls. Similarly, ACP, interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-2 expression was significantly increased in groups fed an extract, and in the 10% PML group, when compared with controls (P<0.05). IL- 1, IL-2, IL-10, and Toll-like receptor 2 expression was significantly greater in the 10% EE group than in the 10% PML and 10% AE groups (P<0.05). Villus length in the middle intestine was significantly increased in the 10% AE and 10% EE groups compared with controls and the 10% PML group (P<0.05). Thus, 10% mulberry leaf ethanol extract added to feed is recommended for enhancing the growth rate and health of cultured Nile tilapia.
3D Cell Culture Technology – A New Insight Into in Vitro Research – A Review
Authors: Sośniak Justyna , Opiela Jolanta
Published: June 2021

Most in vitro cell-based research is based on two-dimensional (2D) systems where growth and development take place on a flat surface, which does not reflect the natural environment of the cells. The imperfection and limitations of culture in 2D systems eventually led to the creation of three-dimensional (3D) culture models that more closely reproduce the actual conditions of physiological cell growth. Since the inception of 3D culture technology, many culture models have been developed, such as technologies of multicellular spheroids, organoids, and organs on chips in the technology of scaffolding, hydrogels, bio-printing and liquid media. In this review we will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the 2D vs. 3D cell cultures technologies. We will also try to sum up available 3D culture systems and materials for building 3D scaffolds.
