Attribution of Emotions to Neutral Faces by Adolescents In the Pre- And Postoperative Period and Their Mothers
Authors: Nikitina E.A.
Published: July 2021

The work examines the perception of faces by adolescents and their mothers under the stress associated with the surgery. We hypothesized that stress can facilitate attribution of negative emotions to neutral faces, while feelings of support from the mother and others can play the opposite role. This means that the bias of emotions attributed to neutrals can be used to assess the level of stress. The study involved: adolescents N1 = 46, 12—17 years old, (M = 14.02, SD = 1.57), 59% boys who were treated in the department of pediatric bone pathology and adolescent orthopedics of National Medical Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after N.N. Priorov, as well as their mothers N2 = 46 (32—51 years old, M = 41.24, SD = 4.47). The following methods were used: Social support questionnaire SOZU-22, Varga-Stolin parental attitude questionnaire, Perceived stress scales for children and adults, Pain scale. Respondents were asked to chose the most suitable adjective to each of 11 images of emotionally neutral faces. The hypotheses put forward were generally not confirmed. For mothers, despite the absence of changes in the level of stress after child’s surgery treatment, the frequency of choosing positive emotions significantly increases and the frequency of attributing negative emotions to neutral faces decreases. In children, there is a significant decrease in stress after surgery, but the change in the assessment of neutral faces is associated not with the stress level, but with the assessment of pain, as well as with the characteristics of the mother’s attitude and characteristics of social support. At the same time, differences were revealed between the results of girls and boys.

A post-hoc analysis of 338 casualties demonstrating persistent intra-abdominal hemorrhage has been carried out, the proportion of this group being 16.5% in overall casualty structure or 64% in the group of casualties with abdominal injuries. Lethal outcome rate in the studied group was 13%, the complication rate was 53.2%. Traumatic shock was found in 86% of casualties, the greatest proportion was accounted for by the first and second degree (59.1%). Lethality rate in the case of the third degree traumatic shock and terminal state was 34.4%. Injured parenchymal organs and abdominal major vessels showed the greatest blood loss 2348 250 ml. The time of arrival of casualties with persistent intra-abdominal hemorrhage to the advanced trauma management stage or definitive surgical care stage was virtually similar amounting to 2.6 0.4 hr. Injuries to hollow organs (34.1%) were most commonly found, injuries to parenchymal organs (24.9%) occurred less frequently, the rate of combination of injuries to abdominal internal organs was approximately the same (24.9%). Major vessels injuries were diagnosed only in one casualty (0.3%), while those combined with internal organs injuries in 37(11%)of casualties. As regards favorable prognosis this group was considered to be the least perspective owing to high rate of hemorrhage and inability to achieve effective hemostasis at the prehospital stage. Thus, persistent hemorrhage was not profuse, and the majority of casualties (88.7%) should be considered as perspective recipients to achieve temporary hemostasis at the prehospital stage. It is this approach based on the principles of early pathogenetic management that could reduce the rate of complications and lethality in casualties with persistent intra-abdominal hemorrhage.

Authors: Evdokimov Vladimir I. , Vetoshkin Alexander A.
Published: July 2021

Domestic patents for inventions on surgical treatment of shoulder joint injuries are analyzed. The database of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property of Rospatent was searched. Eliminating the so-called search noise, we created an array of 215 patents for inventions for the surgical treatment of shoulder injuries (registration mainly from 01/01/1994 to 09/30/2020). The average annual number of patents for inventions was 7 1. Surgical treatment methods were presented in 74.3% of inventions, and devices (surgical instruments, endoprostheses, etc.) in 25.7%. In some inventions, both methods and devices were patented. Inventions for the surgical treatment of shoulder joint instability accounted for 23.4%, for the treatment of tendons and periarticular tissues 8.9%, for osteosynthesis of the bones of the shoulder joint 21.9%, for surgical devices and instruments 14.2%, for methods and shoulder arthroplasty devices 13.4%; other inventions (on assessment of lesions, the likelihood of a favorable outcome of surgery, pain relief, etc.) 18.2%. It is necessary to optimize the domestic inventive activity in areas of medicine to prevent a shotage of domestic medical equipment or tools in case of sanctions imposed by certain foreign states.

Arterial hypertension in the metabolic syndrome in the elderly contributes to the formation of cognitive disorders and anxiety-depressive disorders. It is shown that the severity of these deviations of the psychological continuum significantly decreases after 1 year, under the influence of an antihypertensive fixed combination of amlodipine, mesinopril and rosuvastatin in the chronotherapy mode (evening reception), than in the traditional application (morning reception in the equivalent dosage of 5/10/10 mg per day in both cases. The dynamics of cognitive impairment in chronotherapeutical approach in patients 6074 flights from arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome is characterized by a significant increase in the average score on a scale MMSE, f source 17.8 0.3 to 23.5 0.4 points (р 0.001), against 16.9 0.3 to 20.4 0.4 points (р 0.001) in the morning taking the drug. Situational anxiety decreased from 40.8 2.2 to 30.6 1.8 points (р 0.05) and from 40.0 2.5 to 32.1 2.0 points (р 0.05), personal anxiety from 48.8 2.0 to 25.4 1.9 (р 0.001) and from 44.9 1.9 to 30.7 1.7 (р 0.01) points in the evening and morning the reception, respectively. Depressive disorders decreased slightly more significantly in chronotherapy (14.1% vs. 7.7%) than in the traditional scheme, but despite this, both cases with (groups) corresponded to depressive spectrum disorders. The results obtained indicate that chronotherapy is more effective than the traditional use of a fixed combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin in arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome.
Revisiting the Source Rupture Process of the Mainshock of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake and Implications for the Generation of Near-Fault Ground Motions and Forward-Directivity Pulse
Authors: Asano Kimiyuki , Iwata Tomotaka
Published: July 2021

Strong near-fault ground motions associated with the MJMA 7.3 mainshock of the 2016 Kumamoto, central Kyushu, Japan, earthquake sequence have received attention by seismological and engineering communities. In this study, the kinematic source rupture process was reanalyzed based on an improved approach for the representation of source faults. The slips at densely distributed point sources were defined via the bilinear interpolation of those at surrounding control points. The result shows that the rupture started on the Hinagu fault with a small initial rupture and propagated beyond the junction to the Futagawa fault. The rupture on the Futagawa fault mainly propagated up and northeastward. A large slip area with a peak slip of 4.9 m and peak slip velocity of 3.1  m/s was detected at depths ranging from 3 to 15 km in the central part of the Futagawa fault. This asperity spatially coincides with a body with moderate-seismic velocity (VP∼6  km/s) and low-seismic attenuation. The slips on the Futagawa fault have significant normal-slip components, whereas the slip vectors of the Hinagu fault represent almost pure right-lateral strike slip. The shallower part of the fault segments in the western Aso caldera is characterized by relatively large normal slips. The estimated slip-velocity functions at shallower depths (<3  km) are almost temporally symmetric and relatively long. The shallower portion of the source fault significantly contributes to the velocity and displacement waveforms at near-fault sites. On the contrary, the slip-velocity functions at deeper depths (>3  km) are temporally asymmetric and have a sharp peak. The simulation of the ground-motion evolution suggests that the lateral flow in the Aso Valley was primarily triggered by the strong forward-directivity pulse generated from the asperity on the Futagawa fault.

As influências (psico)pedagógicas belgas em Faria de Vasconcelos e a repercussão na educação das crianças ‘anormais’ (escolares)
Authors: Candeias Martíns Ernesto
Published: July 2021

Faria de Vasconcelos (1880-1939) foi um escolanovista com grande projeção na ciência pedagógica da época, ao estudar os problemas escolares dos anormais pedagógicos e deficientes. Dedicou parte da sua obra e ações sobre essa temática, refletindo e criando instituições para colmata e resolver muitos desses problemas dos ‘anormais escolares’ e jovens na escolha da sua profissão, propondo métodos apropriados de intervenção, escolas especiais e especialização dos professores. A argumentação assenta numa metodologia hermenêutica de análise às publicações daquele pedagogista e outras fontes da época norteando-nos pelos seguintes objetivos: compreender a perspetiva de Vasconcelos sobre a educação/ensino dos anormais escolares; analisar as ideias e ações deste pedagogo na pedagogia contemporânea e/ou da pedologia e enquadradas no Movimento da Escola Nova; aprofundar o seu papel no Instituto de Reeducação Mental Pedagógica (1929-32) dedicado a realizar exames e intervenções às crianças ‘anormais’ e outras ações paralelas. O período histórico de abordagem, percorre os inícios do séc. XX, coincidente com a permanência de Vasconcelos na Bélgica (1904-14) e, posteriormente a sua ação em Portugal (1925-32) dedicada às crianças ‘anormais pedagógicos’. A pedagogia especial sobre ‘anormais’ teve uma difusão de ideias psicopedagógicas, psiquiátricas e psicotécnica impregnando o pensamento e intervenções de Vasconcelos na sua obra.
Assistência e educação de desvalidas no século XIX: o Asilo de São João de Lisboa
Authors: Martíns Ferreira Nuno
Published: July 2021

O Asilo de São João foi fundado em Lisboa, em 1862, por iniciativa de um grupo de maçons, de modo a garantir assistência e educação a jovens raparigas, até então à guarda da congregação religiosa das Irmãs da Caridade. Este estudo, que parte da consulta de fontes documentais, nomeadamente de informações contidas em relatórios e contas da Instituição, tem por objetivo dar a conhecer o contexto em que o Asilo foi instalado e quais os principais aspetos que caracterizaram o seu funcionamento, com notas que convidam a um olhar sobre o seu quotidiano, ao longo do século XIX. O seu aparecimento navegou entre o debate acerca do papel que as congregações religiosas tinham na educação dos mais desfavorecidos e o espírito filantrópico de uma sociedade que vivia sob a crença no progresso material e social. Da investigação realizada, salienta-se a preocupação de dotar as jovens asiladas de competências para se integrarem na sociedade, bem como as dificuldades sentidas pelas direções em manter de pé esta obra de carácter social.

Religiosity of the Slovakian Roma
Authors: Jarmoch Edward
Published: July 2021

Religiosity of the Romani has been shaped by their history, which occupies an important role in their social identity. It manifests itself in the dominant religion of the country they live in, whether Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim, or other. The aim of this article is to analyse and present religiosity of the Romani in Slovakia in terms of its basic parameters (faith and beliefs, religious knowledge, religious practice, opinions and moral behaviour). The article is based on the results of the social studies performed in 2018 by Reverend Martin Majda, a professor at the Institute of Theology at Catholic University in Ružomberok. The majority of the Romani in Slovakia belong to the Roman Catholic Church. Their religiosity can be characterised by a specific interpretation of the truths of the faith, e.g. a greater belief in God rather than in the last things. What is more, it bears the traits of folk religiosity, incorporating elements of individual beliefs and rituals, reflecting the Romanis’ ethnic origin. Although knowledge is not a sine qua non of identifying oneself with a particular faith, it correlates with religiosity and is worth studying. A great role is attributed to obligatory religious practices, realised on Sundays and during Holy Days, as they affect religiosity of the Romani. There is a diversity of opinions concerning religious morality. What is challenged are the norms of morality adhered to by married couples and families, especially the norms related to human sexuality.

Published: July 2021

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS) which is related with unpredictable course and increasing disability. Social support as an available interpersonal resource may help patients with MS. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate perceived social support in patients with MS as well as the associated factors.
Methods: The sample of this cross-sectional study included 200 patients with MS. Data collection was performed by the completion of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and a questionnaire which included patients' characteristics.
Results: Patients reported to perceive high support from significant others and their family (median: 24.0 and 23.5, respectively) and less from their friends (median: 20). Moreover, a statistically significant association was found between social support from significant others and marital status (P = 0.010), modification of daily activities (P = 0.018), difficulties with social and family environment (P ≤ 0.001 and P ≤ 0.001, respectively), frequent urination (P = 0.015), and whether they easily forgot (P = 0.049), characterized themselves as anxious (P = 0.049), and believed in God (P = 0.002). Also, a statistically significant association was fond between social support from family and relation with health professionals (P = 0.041), difficulties with social and family environment (P = 0.003 and P ≤ 0.001, respectively), and whether they considered themselves as anxious (P = 0.050), and they believed in God (P ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, a statistically significant association was found between support from friends and modification of daily activities (P = 0.010), help in daily activities (P = 0.016), need for movement assistance (P = 0.001), difficulties with social and family environment (P ≤ 0.001 and P = 0.005, respectively), and whether they considered themselves anxious (P = 0.046).
Conclusion: Factors associated with perceived social support should be evaluated when planning holistic care to patients with MS.

This study was designed to facilitate freshman medical students’ adaptation to the dissection room and familiarize them with the related ethical codes. Single-group post-test design research was conducted at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2018 - 2019. The program began with a brief explanation of the necessity of the subject, and after a documentary film was shown, the principles of professional and ethical behaviors in the dissection room were discussed by a panel of experts. In the end, a valid and reliable evaluation questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.89) was distributed among the students. A total of 129 questionnaires were completed and returned. Overall, 94.4% of the students believed that the program provided an excellent opportunity to reflect on professional behaviors during practical anatomy sessions. In addition, 92.8% of the students believed that they would use the ethical points mentioned in the program in the future. Content analysis of the open questions produced three main categories: "motivating learning", "application of theory in practice" and "changing the attitude toward responsibility". The results indicate that adequate preparation for cadaver dissection sessions and learning about professional behavior codes in the first exposure can help medical students to better understand the principles of professional behaviors.

Authors: Dargahi Hossein , Veysi Fereshteh
Published: July 2021

High ideal hybrid intelligence of managers is among the factors that can improve employees’ organizational commitment. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between managers’ ideal hybrid intelligence and employees’ organizational commitment in the Vice Chancellors’ Headquarters of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. This was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 - 2018. The research sample size consisted of 86 senior and middle-level managers selected through census method, as well as 181 employees, selected using the Kerjecie and Morgan table. The research tool was an ideal hybrid intelligence questionnaire consisting of 102 questions on cultural, moral and spiritual intelligence, and also Meyer and Allens’ organizational commitment questionnaire including 24 questions. Face validity and reliability of each questionnaire were confirmed by an expert panel and Chronbach’s alpha method. The data were analyzed by SPSS software, and descriptive results were shown through mean and standard deviation, and analytical results by inferential tests. The results showed that the ideal hybrid intelligence of the Vice Chancellors’ Headquarters managers and employees’ organizational commitment were at a desirable level. Also, there was a significant correlation between cultural, moral and spiritual intelligence as constituents of the ideal hybrid intelligence of managers and employees’ organizational commitment. We found that ideal hybrid intelligence may affect employees’ organizational commitment, but it should be mentioned that other forms of intelligence may also affect organizational commitment.

Published: July 2021

Background: Due to the importance of spiritual health in patients with thalassemia and its positive and significant effects on improving the treatment process and mental, psychological and social conditions of these patients and according to the results of previous studies, patients with thalassemia have high spiritual health. The lack of studies in this field, the present study was conducted to determine the spiritual health of adolescents with thalassemia major.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 100 adolescents with thalassemia major. Sampling was done by available means. Patients' spiritual health was measured using the Poltzin and Ellison spiritual health questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics tests and the relationship between mean spiritual health and mean age of patients with Pearson correlation coefficient test, its relationship with gender and place of residence with independent t-test and its relationship with economic status with ANOVA.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of patients' spiritual health score was 74.23 ± 11.45, which showed a moderate level of spiritual health. 12% of patients (12 patients) reported low spiritual health, 84% (84 patients) reported moderate spiritual health and 4% (4 patients) reported high spiritual health. There was no significant relationship between spiritual health and demographic characteristics (p value > 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study which showed that adolescents with thalassemia have a moderate level of spiritual health and due to the high importance of spiritual health in improving treatment, adherence to treatment regimen, life expectancy and mental health of patients, It is necessary to take appropriate measures to improve the spiritual health of these patients.
dimensión política del patrimonio. Reivindicación del valor social del ferrocarril en Chile entre dictadura y democracia (1973-2012)
Authors: Ortega Andrea , Ibarra Macarena
Published: July 2021

Este artículo analiza la reivindicación del valor social del ferrocarril en Chile entre los contextos políticos de la dictadura (1973-1990) y la democracia (1990-2012). Los radicales cambios tecnológicos, políticos y económicos iniciados en dictadura, sumados a la desindustrialización y el declive del ferrocarril, gatillaron la pérdida del poder político y la obsolescencia de los modos de producción del gremio ferroviario. Y si bien el abandono propició su patrimonialización desde la década de 1980, la reivindicación de su valor social emergió con el retorno a la democracia. Se considera como caso de estudio el Ferrocarril del Sur, comprendiendo su rol social y resignificación con las declaratorias de monumentos nacionales.

Authors: Abebe Kiros , Demissie Tilaye
Published: July 2021

Background: Productive and reproductive performances are the most important parameters in the Ehiopian dairy sector. The objective of the current study was to assess milk yield, reproductive performances of crossbred dairy cattle and occurrence of reproductive health problems and veterinary services provider/s. Methods: A cross-sectional study using semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 160 randomly selected dairy farm owners found in urban and peri-urban areas of Assela, Bishoftu, Holetta and Sululta of the central highlands of Ethiopia. Result: The higher average daily milk yields were 11.7 and 11.2 litres in urban and peri-urban Bishoftu. The average age at first service of crossbred dairy heifers was 18.8 months in urban and 19.1 months in peri-urban Bishoftu, respectively. The average age at first calving of crossbred dairy heifers was 27.8 months in urban Bishoftu and 28.1 months in peri-urban Bishoftu areas. The longest average age at first service (29.3 months) and age at first calving (38.3 months) were in peri-urban Assela. The number of services per conception was 1.4 in urban Assela and 1.3 in peri-urban Assela and these were shorter than the 1.65 from urban Bishoftu and the 1.85 of peri-urban Bishoftu areas. The average 168.0 days calving to conception interval from peri-urban Assela was the longest calving to conception interval in this study. The average calving intervals 14.9 and 13.9 months of peri-urban Assela and Sululta were relatively longer than the respective urban areas.

Introduction. The article presents the analysis of surgical treatment of children with choledochal malformations (CM) with mini-laparotomy and laparoscopy techniques.Purpose. The aim of the study is to improve outcomes of surgical treatment of choledochal malformations in children.Material and methods. For the last ten years (January 2010 - May 2020), 84 children with choledochal malformations (CM) (n = 84) were operated on with different surgical techniques in our hospitals. Group 1 - patients who had Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunoanastomosis (RYHJ, n = 68, 81%); Group 2 - patients who had hepaticoduodenoanastomosis (HD, n = 16, 19%). The authors compared outcomes because Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomosis and hepaticoduodenanastomosis were formed under mini-laparotomic (ML) and laparoscopic (LS) accesses. Surgical time, short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes were assessed.Results. The groups were comparable in gender, age, clinical manifestations, CM complications before surgery, comorbidities (p 0.05). A statistically significant (p = 0.0000001, Mann–Whitney U-test) decrease in the surgical time was revealed when using mini-laparotomy access. Independent defecation appeared 3 times faster in the subgroup with mini-laparotomy and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (ML RYHJ) than in the subgroup of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (LS RYHJ) (p = 0.033, Mann–Whitney U-test), mainly due to early enteral loading in the first subgroup (on 0-1 postoperative day). Long-term postoperative outcomes in laparoscopic subgroups revealed a statistically insignificant (p 0.05) prevalence of 4 anastomotic stenosis requiring repeated surgical interventions. Good outcomes were seen in 90% of patients after ML RYHJ (p = 0.002, Pearson’s Chi-square with Yates’ correction) versus 52.6% after LS RYHJ.Conclusion. Currently, laparoscopy is not a method of choice in children with CM due to the development of short-term and long-term postoperative complications. Minilaparotomy gives promising results in pediatric CM and can be “a gold standard” in the treatment of children with this pathology.

Introduction. The osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathologic condition of osteochondral tissue predominantly in the femoral condyles, which is met most often in adolescents and which can lead to the formation of early arthrosis in the knee joint in the remote time. By modern concepts, stable OCD foci are the foci with intact articular cartilage without the risk of migration into the joint cavity. To date, there are very few studies in the world literature on the treatment of early stages of osteochondrosis dissecans.Material and methods. Two independent researchers have carried out a systematic review of literature sources (2000-2020 ) using Pubmed, Medline and GoogleScholar. 9 publications were selected for data analysis out of 5184 publications after the qualitative assessment by the Yang scale and the obtained consensus in disputable situations.Results. Statistical analysis of the obtained data with the Statistica program revealed that the average rate of OCD foci healing was seen in 86.7% (from 70.6 to 100%). The most effective outcomes were in the group of antegrade drilling (95.3% of healed foci), then in the group with biodegradable implants fixation (88.5%), then the group of antegrade drilling with the introduction of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) - 76.9%, and then the retrograde drilling - 76.8%.Conclusion. The analysis performed have shown a significant heterogeneity in data reporting, different methods for diagnosing osteochondritis dissecans, different approaches to healing assessment as well as a small number of children in samples what determined the lack of statistical significance between different options of surgical treatment (p = 0.27). Carefully planned trials with a proper design, standardized techniques for healing assessment and time of their application as well as the assessment of comparison groups and of all other necessary factors affecting lesion healing are needed.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ATTACHMENT DIMENSIONS AND AFFECT IN ADULTHOOD
Authors: Hadžić Aleksandra , Kantar Dejan
Published: July 2021

This research was conducted during the state of emergency in response to coronavirus pandemic with the aim to further examine the relationships between attachment dimensions – attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance – and affect and to test the mediating role of psychological flexibility in these relationships. The sample which was obtained by using the snowball sampling method consists of 1515 adults from the Republic of Srpska, entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina (70.4% females) aged between 18 and 65 who filled an online questionnaire battery. Attachment dimensions were measured by the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), affect by the Negative and Positive Affect Scale (NAPAS), and psychological flexibility by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II). The results indicate that attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance correlate positively with the negative affect and correlate negatively with the positive affect. Furthermore, the results showed that the relationships between attachment dimensions and negative affect can be explained through psychological flexibility – higher values of attachment dimensions contribute to lower psychological flexibility, which then leads to higher negative affect. The obtained findings have been considered in the light of theoretical and practical importance.
EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT, BUT NOT TRANSPORTATION LEADS TO HIGHER EMPATHY AFTER READING A FICTIONAL STORY, IN MORE AGREEABLE PARTICIPANTS
Authors: Kotrla Topić Marina
Published: July 2021

Research from different disciplines points to a positive relationship between reading fiction and empathy. Some studies also focus on potential moderators of this relationship, such as individual personality differences and how the individual engages with the fictional text in terms of transportation.  The aim of this paper is to investigate whether reading-induced affective empathy can be explained by personality traits, namely Agreeableness, and Emotional engagement, and Transportation. Participants were 132 undergraduate and graduate students, who read a short fictional story by J. Joyce and after that completed a set of questionnaires, containing measures of Big Five personality traits, Emotional engagement, Transportation and affective Empathy. Results show that there is a strong positive relationship between Agreeableness and story-induced Empathy and that this relationship can be partially explained by Emotional engagement. Transportation, on the other hand, did not show to be an important variable in the relationship of Agreeableness and story-induced Empathy, neither did it show to be a significant factor in this relationship when Emotional engagement was included. This study provides information for additional understanding of the relationship between reading fiction and empathy through the investigation of its mediators.
Életpálya-jövedelemtől függő várható élettartam és a nyugdíjrendszer
Authors: Simonovits András
Published: July 2021

A dolgozat két fő részből áll. Az empirikus rész bemutatja, hogy különböző országokban és években miként növekszik a nyugdíjazáskor várható élettartam (illetve csökken a halandóság) az életpálya-jövedelem párhuzamos növekedésével. Az elméleti rész pedig egyszerű modellszámításokkal szemlélteti, hogy milyen módon hat e tapasztalati tény a különböző típusú nyugdíjrendszerekre. A szerző fő eredménye: az elvárt méltányosság az arányos és az alapnyugdíj keverését vagy az arányos nyugdíjhoz képest degresszív rendszer alkalmazását teszi szükségessé.
Trauma, de Lucy Bond e Stef Craps
Authors: Fernandes Joyce Silva
Published: July 2021

Em The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century 1914-1991 (1995), o historiador inglês Eric Hobsbawm caracterizou o século XX pela quantidade única de catástrofes humanas, como a Revolução Russa de 1917, as duas grandes guerras, crises econômicas e genocídio sistemático, evidenciando a relevância de compreender os diferentes tipos de traumas desencadeados por esse contexto. Trauma, de Lucy Bond e Stef Craps, apresenta-se como um guia necessário para a compreensão da elasticidade do termo trauma e de sua aplicabilidade para os estudos culturais e literários. Neste horizonte, Trauma explora as distintas concepções de trauma a partir do século XIX, além de apresentar possíveis definições e aplicações práticas no campo dos estudos literários, reconhecendo sua disseminação como categoria crítica no meio acadêmico. Escrito por professores em departamentos de literatura inglesa, Lucy Bond, na Universidade de Westminster, no Reino Unido, e Stef Craps, Universidade Ghent, na Bélgica, o volume faz parte de uma série de publicações intitulada The New Critical Idiom, cujo objetivo é elucidar termos cruciais para os estudos de teoria literária de forma introdutória.
A sociabilidade literária na França dos séculos XVIII e XIX
Authors: Souza Willian Eduardo Righini de
Published: July 2021

Entre os séculos XVIII e XIX, diferentes espaços de sociabilidade surgiram na França: salões, cenáculos, círculos e cafés. Embora todos tenham sido importantes para a formação e consagração de autores, eles possuíam distinções, como na participação de mulheres, no modelo das discussões promovidas e na relação entre o público e o privado. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo apresenta algumas das principais características desses espaços, analisando os tipos de sociabilidade que eles adotavam. Para tanto, realiza uma revisão bibliográfica de obras contemporâneas que se dedicaram a refletir sobre as suas configurações, destacando suas semelhanças e diferenças. Embora tenham entrado em declínio na passagem do século XIX para o XX, seja em razão da popularização da imprensa, seja pela valorização da ideia de autor solitário e independente, esses espaços ainda despertam questionamentos, como no papel da mulher, e ajudam a explicar o desenvolvimento do mercado editorial.

Dissolução do estético e resistência
Authors: Klein Kelvin Falcão
Published: July 2021

O objetivo deste ensaio é propor uma reflexão teórica acerca das relações possíveis entre o estilo paratático e a estética, compreendida como disciplina e horizonte de experimentação artística. Para tanto, o recurso ao estilo paratático é rastreado em uma série de textos e autores, começando com Hayden White (1971, 1973, 1980), passando por Hal Foster (1996), Georges Didi-Huberman (1998), Jacques Rancière (2003), até chegar nas reflexões de Reinaldo Laddaga sobre a estética da emergência (2006) e a estética de laboratório (2010), e nas elaborações de Ivan Jablonka acerca do “terceiro continente” (2016). O estilo paratático é mobilizado como dispositivo de resistência à dissolução do estético, organizado a partir de três linhas de fuga simultâneas e complementares: preocupação com a montagem (de temporalidades e referências); reivindicação de um presente instável (um ponto de vista contingente que recusa a totalidade); e abertura da cronologia em prol de uma fabricação da história (como defesa da dimensão plástica e maleável do próprio devir histórico).
De como o ensaio pode ser um engate ou um ménage à trois (ou mais, a depender do gosto do leitor)
Authors: Valentim Jorge Vicente
Published: July 2021

Apresenta-se nesta recensão crítica o mais recente título do professor e pesquisador brasileiro Daniel Marinho Laks (Modernismos em modernidades incipientes. EdUFSCar, 2020). A obra aborda comparativamente dois escritores de língua portuguesa (Mário de Andrade e Almada Negreiros), situando-os nos diferentes modernismos e articulando uma proposta analítica de rasura sobre o lugar-comum de atraso dessas estéticas em espaços geo-políticos, considerados então, periféricos.
Feche a porta atrás de si
Authors: Barbosa Danielle
Published: July 2021

Com o intuito de explorar algumas reflexões sobre o romance K. – relato de uma busca de Bernardo Kucinski (2011). Este texto apresenta, em um exercício de narrador presente, a relação entre dualidades: os dois narradores possíveis – o autor Kucinski e o pai K., a relação entre lembrar e esquecer, a relação entre memória e reminiscência e a movimentação cíclica entre luto e culpa, proporcionada pelo ciclo de vida e morte que perpassa a narração dos fatos e das ações em contextos de experiência da violência institucional. Tem-se como elemento principal a proposição de que o caráter autoritário da ditadura brasileira apresenta aspectos que permitem, em uma análise psicanalítica, localizar elementos narcísicos e relacionados com o Complexo de Édipo não resolvido e a transposição do recalcado para a esfera pública. Na construção da memória testemunhal, a trajetória vai desde o estudo da condição humana, passando pela construção do narrador e pela análise a partir dos estudos metapsicológicos de Sigmund Freud, objetivando lançar luzes sobre o movimento de lembrar a partir da vivência, da reminiscência, colocar a experiência sob o olhar da memória – coletiva, compartilhada, histórica – e, por fim, esquecer no campo íntimo sem apagar a inscrição dos efeitos dessa memória. K., ficção e autobiografia, oferece uma importante contribuição testemunhal aos fatos ocorridos durante a ditadura brasileira de 1964, ao mesmo tempo em que busca resolver as questões íntimas de uma família em uma busca sem fim.
Literatura e estética, hoje
Authors: Durão Fabio Akcelrud , Berriel Carlos
Published: July 2021

Este número da Remate de Males propôs, em sua ementa, uma reflexão contemporânea sobre a arte. Partindo da problematização colocada por Adorno, cuja estética representa uma tentativa radical de construir uma teoria abrangente, dialeticamente clássica, da obra de arte – e, por decorrência, da literatura –, podemos considerar o texto artístico como um enigma sem solução. Entretanto, se de um lado a sua ideia do artefato estético como esperança diante da opressão social aparenta ser hoje resíduo de uma época e de uma forma de pensamento historicamente superadas, de outro seria possível identificar elementos atuais que dariam novo fôlego para uma nova relevância de sistematizações como a de Adorno. Os textos que responderam ao chamado da revista oferecem ricas considerações a respeito dessa problemática.
Rapid screening for minimum inhibitory concentration of medicinal plant extracts against human pathogenic bacteria
Authors: Arivalagan K. , Prakash Mani
Published: July 2021

In the present study, crude extracts of different parts of six medicinal plant species have been screened for antibacterial activity through resazurin dye reduction assay. The crude extracts of Coleus strobilifer, Phyllanthus reticulatus, Acalypha paniculata, Solanum erianthum, Curculigo orchioides, and Spatholobus parviflorus were prepared with the solvents, petroleum ether, methanol and ethanol by Soxhlet extraction method. Resazurin titreplate assay was done for screening the plant extracts for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) the pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results revealed that the crude extracts of various parts of the plants obtained using three different solvents were capable of inhibiting the test bacteria with the MIC values ranging from 125 μL to >1000 μL. The stem extracts of C. strobilifer and A. paniculata showed the least antibacterial activity with the MIC values >1000 µL. The leaf extracts of S. erianthum showed a MIC value of 250-500 µL against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae. The results revealed that the rhizome extract of C. orchioides and fruit extracts of S. parviflorus have good antibacterial activity and can be tested further with specific trials to develop antibacterial drugs. For initial screening of medicinal plants for antibacterial activity is faster, more accurate and reliable with resazurin dye reduction method.
TOURISM INDUSTRY STRESS INDEX AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE FINANCIAL STRESS INDEX
Authors: Malkina Marina , Ovcharov Anton
Published: July 2021

Purpose – development of the Tourism Industry Stress Index (TSI) and the Financial Stress Index (FSI) followed by an examination of their interaction. Design – The TSI, which aggregates tourist arrivals, overnight stays and net occupancy, was tested on data for Finland, Italy, Germany and Spain between 1993 and 2020. The FSI was composed of the S&P500 index, Brent oil futures, and the real effective exchange rate of the euro. Methodology / Approach – Both stress indices were calculated as the difference between the moving standard deviation and the moving average of the monthly growth rate of the selected indicators. We aggregated them by applying two alternative techniques: arithmetic mean and nonnormalized principal component analysis. The Granger causality test was utilised to assess the dependence between the indices. Findings – We identified periods of increased volatility in the European tourism market and described its connection to financial crises. The causality test of the FSI-TSI model showed that financial turmoil led to increased tourism market stress with an average lag of three months and a marginal effect of 0.2. Originality of the research – We recommend the Financial Stress Index as a predictor of the Tourism Industry Stress Index in the business cycle.
The Untrained Response of Pet Dogs to Human Epileptic Seizure
Authors: Powell Neil A. , Arnott Gareth , Ruffell Alastair
Published: July 2021

Abstract Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain and a seriously debilitating condition, which has been associated with injury, social stigmatisation and in some cases, sudden unexpected and premature death. A sense of profound isolation is felt by many individuals with epilepsy, and this community has expressed an urgent desire for an early warning system to allow them time to prepare for seizure onset. Surveys of dog owners with epilepsy have previously reported that some dogs can predict the onset of a seizure. The current study used an experimental design to investigate the alleged propensity of untrained pet dogs to react to human epileptic seizures. We hypothesised that seizures are associated with specific volatile organic compounds resulting in detectable odours which are the biomarker that triggers these reported behavioural changes in the dogs. Here we provide details of the first empirical test to demonstrate that pet dogs display several significant behavioural changes when they are exposed to seizure-related odours that apparently emanate from their owners. Using a repeated measures design experiment, recordings were made of the reactions of 19 untrained pet dogs to odours from sweat samples provided by three people with epilepsy and by two people without epilepsy (controls). The seizure-associated sweat samples were captured pre-seizure, during seizure and post-seizure. All samples were randomly delivered to individual dogs in a test area, using two bespoke pieces of apparatus called Remote Odour Delivery Mechanisms (RODM). One RODM delivered only experimental odours, the other delivered only control odours. Behavioural changes by the dogs on encountering the odour samples were recorded by video for later analysis. Consistent with our hypothesis, seizure-associated odours evoked significant behavioural changes in the dogs which were affiliative in nature and directed at their owners.
A Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience on the Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance and its Molecular Basis

Published: July 2021

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in high-enrollment, introductory classes are a 37 potentially transformative approach to retaining more students in STEM majors. We developed and piloted a CURE 38 in the introductory biology courses at the University of Washington. This CURE focuses on analyzing experimental 39 evolution of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli and generates data on two topics relevant to clinical practice: 40 compensatory mutations and cross-drug effects. By studying mutations in central cellular machinery that confer drug 41 resistance, students not only gain insight into fundamental cellular phenomena, but also recognize the molecular 42 basis of a medically important form of evolutionary change, connecting genetics, microbiology, and evolution.
