Authors: Sharkey Michael J. , Baker Austin , Manjunath Ramya , Hebert Paul D. N.
Published: May 2022

The Neotropical members formerly included in Earinus Wesmael, 1837 are transferred to a new genus, Chilearinus Sharkey gen. nov. Presently three Nearctic species of Earinus are recognized, i.e., Earinus erythropoda Cameron, 1887, Earinus limitaris Say,1835, and Earinus zeirapherae Walley, 1935, and these are retained in Earinus. Earinus chubuquensis Berta, 2000 and Earinus scitus Enderlein, 1920 are transferred to Chilearinus, i.e., C. chubuquensis, and C. scitus, comb. nov. One other species is transferred to Chilearinus, i.e., Microgaster rubricollis Spinola, 1851, Chilearinus rubricollis, comb. nov. Two other Neotropical species, Earinus hubrechtae Braet, 2002 and Earinus bourguignoni Braet, 2002 were described under the genus Earinus but are here transferred to Lytopylus, L. hubrechtae, and L. bourguignonicomb. nov. Two new species of Chilearinus are described, C. covidchronos and C. janbertspp. nov. The status of Agathis laevithorax Spinola,1851, Agathis rubricata Spinola,1851, and Agathis areolata Spinola, 1851 is discussed. A neotype is designated for Earinus limitaris (Say, 1835) and diagnosed with a COI barcode. Earinus austinbakeri and Earinus walleyispp. nov. are described. The status of both Earinus and Chilearinus in the Americas is discussed. A revised key to the genera of Agathidinae of the Americas is presented.

Du corpus comme ressource au corpus comme sample : de l’exploitation néolibérale de la donnée à une écosystémique du discours
Authors: Wagener Albin
Published: May 2022

Terrain de recherche ou ressource à exploiter, le corpus a toujours constitué un centre d’attention en sciences humaines, et plus récemment en raison de l’essor des humanités numériques et de la place centrale de la donnée dans une grande partie des enjeux sociaux et économiques. Cela est particulièrement vrai en analyse de discours : de nombreux courants des sciences du langage ont pensé et théorisé la linguistique de corpus, à la fois en lien avec l’étude des discours, les structures langagières, la sociolinguistique ou encore la linguistique outillée. Pour autant, l’utilisation des corpus en analyse outillée et lexicométrique des discours ne saurait épargner la perspective d’une problématisation du corpus lui-même perçu comme donnée au sein d’un environnement néolibéral qui en favorise et en encourage largement l’utilisation et la permanence. Le but du présent article est de proposer une approche critique de l’exploitation et de l’utilisation des corpus, tout en montrant à quel point le corpus linguistique peut se retrouver contaminé par le paradigme de la ressource à exploiter.
Lutter contre la corruption
Authors: Gumede William , Altman Claudia
Published: May 2022

La corruption en Afrique du Sud est si répandue que, si elle n’est pas combattue de manière décisive au cours de ce mandat présidentiel, il existe un réel danger qu’elle devienne un aspect « normal » de la vie dans notre pays. Une fois qu’elle fera partie de la « culture » de notre société, il sera pratiquement impossible de la déraciner. La corruption est généralement définie comme « l’abus d’une fonction publique à des fins privées ». Elle se présente généralement sous deux formes. Tout d’abord, la corruption dite « à grande échelle », c’est-à-dire lorsque des fonctionnaires contournent les règles pour canaliser le patronage vers des parents, des amis et des copains, ou acceptent des pots-de-vin, ou encore lorsque des agents privés soudoient des fonctionnaires pour leur accorder des avantages ou des droits exclusifs. Deuxièmement, il y a la corruption « discrète », qui se produit lorsque des fonctionnaires négligent délibérément leurs obligations de fournir des services ou des biens publics. La « corruption discrète » n’implique pas nécessairement un échange d’argent, mais elle implique des prestataires de services publics, tels que des enseignants, des infirmières ou d’autres fonctionnaires, qui contournent les règles dans leur propre intérêt en ne se présentant pas, par exemple au travail à l’heure prévue. Quand la corruption « à grande échelle » se déroule sans conséquences, elle encourage inévitablement la corruption « discrète ».

Coup médiatique destiné à consolider l’image de l’Inde comme puissance émergente, l’accueil de l’édition 2010 des Jeux du Commonwealth a tourné court. Qualité discutable et prix exorbitant des infrastructures construites, soupçons de corruption, attaques contre des touristes étrangers ont contribué à ternir l’image de l’Inde. Et sur le plan social, l’« embellissement » de Delhi s’est fait au prix d’une véritable guerre aux pauvres.

Published: May 2022

Le discours et les modes d’intervention des ONG en Amérique latine ont connu de profonds changements ces dernières décennies. Leurs priorités se sont déplacées. Leur rôle et sphère d’intervention se sont spécialisés. Leur rapport à l’État a été bousculé. Et une partie de leur personnel s’est professionnalisé. S’alignant sur de grandes tendances internationales et régionales, cette transformation du champ des ONG tend aussi à produire de nouvelles inégalités.
De l’usage du genre
Authors: Leroy Aurélie
Published: May 2022

Si le concept de genre occupe une place clé dans l’émergence et la vitalité des luttes féministes au Nord et au Sud, plusieurs de ses usages mainstream portent préjudice à l’émancipation visée. Il en va ainsi des instrumentalisations technocratiques, néolibérales, nationalistes ou encore suprémacistes du genre, qui perpétuent les inégalités et masquent l’imbrication des différentes formes de domination. Place à un féminisme « intersectionnel » et « décolonial ».

La réhabilitation culturelle et intellectuelle des femmes musulmanes européennes passe aujourd’hui par la quête de voies d’émancipation, entre luttes contre les discriminations à l’école et au travail notamment et création d’« espaces bienveillants ». Dans cette démarche, tant la connaissance de l’histoire des féminismes islamiques que l’intégration du concept d’« intersectionnalité » opèrent comme des outils de compréhension et d’affirmation.

Games with switching costs and endogenous references
Authors: Guney Begum , Richter Michael
Published: May 2022

We introduce a game‐theoretic model with switching costs and endogenous references. An agent endogenizes his reference strategy, and then taking switching costs into account, he selects a strategy from which there is no profitable deviation. We axiomatically characterize this selection procedure in one‐player games. We then extend this procedure to multiplayer simultaneous games by defining a
Switching Cost Nash Equilibrium (SNE) notion, and prove that (i) an SNE always exists; (ii) there are sets of SNE, which can never be a set of Nash equilibrium for
any standard game; and (iii) SNE with a specific cost structure exactly characterizes the Nash equilibrium of nearby games, in contrast to Radner's (1980)
ε‐equilibrium. Subsequently, we apply our SNE notion to a product differentiation model, and reach the opposite conclusion of Radner (1980): switching costs for firms may benefit consumers. Finally, we compare our model with others, especially Köszegi and Rabin's (2006)
personal equilibrium.
Correction to “Incentive‐compatible voting rules with positively correlated beliefs”
Authors: Bose Abhigyan , Roy Souvik
Published: May 2022

Theorem 1 in Bhargava, Majumdar, and Sen (2015) provides a necessary condition for a social choice function to be locally robust ordinal Bayesian incentive compatible with respect to a belief system satisfying top‐set correlation. In this paper, we provide a counterexample to that theorem and consequently provide a new necessary condition for the same in terms of sequential ordinal nondomination.
Management Goals for Conserving White Sturgeon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Basin
Authors: Ulaski Marta E. , Blackburn Shannon E. , Jackson Zachary J. , Quist Michael C.
Published: May 2022

Management objectives for long-lived species are difficult to define because many taxa have delayed maturity and variable recruitment. White Sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus is an example of a species with a complex life history that complicates long-term status monitoring and establishment of management objectives. Historically, White Sturgeon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River basin have been monitored by tracking the abundance of age-15 individuals as outlined by the Central Valley Project Improvement Act. However, infrequent recruitment complicates progress toward Central Valley Project Improvement Act management objectives because abundance of a single cohort fails to represent overall population trends. By using a Leslie population matrix, we demonstrate that the probability of reaching the Central Valley Project Improvement Act objective of 11,000 age-15 White Sturgeon is highly unlikely. We propose an alternative metric of 155,000 adults, which better represents overall population trends of White Sturgeon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River basin, can be efficiently monitored, and can support both the goal of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act and management objectives.
Perspectives on Hyper-Realities

This paper explains the creation and interpretation of Shadows of Silent Gazes at public spaces in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana, in 2018. The installation is a simulation of a Benthamian–Foucauldian panopticon, employing Baudrillard's theory and making connections with Ghanaian folklore and beliefs. There is evidence of technologies of (re)production of imagery and different orders of simulacra in Ghanaian folklore. Using everyday consumable packages, the authors repurpose and (re)produce a series of cameras and argue that the means of (re)production and dissemination of images have surpassed their initial points of referral. At the heart of simulation is the metaphorical camera (simulacra), which cautions us of its new interpretation: the omnipresent panopticon, with its inescapable implicit gaze, surveillance, and exploits. The use of everyday consumable packaging to construct a simulacrum highlights how we are continuously monitored not only by security apparatuses but also by the goods and services we consume.

Published: May 2022

Cognitive computing offers a good range of technological platforms that enhance the performance of online learning systems and is meant for assisting both instructors as well as students in leveraging the delivery of enriched content. In comparison to conventional e-learning systems, the inclusion of cognitive computing can escalate the performance efficiency of online learning. As a result, natural language processing and machine learning have generated a lot of interest in the research community. At present, it is an ongoing exploration towards finding the best possible means to use cognitive computing. The manuscript proposes a tentative plan for the next level of implementation using contextual analysis in order to improve the interaction between the computational model and user, as well as a proposition of using the network for analyzing massive educational data. This manuscript offers insights into the strength of using cognitive computing in an educational system and offers a future plan to integrate it for an optimal learning experience by each learner/student.
The Comparison of Edas, Copras, and EFI Methods in the Decision-Making Process
Authors: Altin Hakan
Published: May 2022

Individuals reach decisions at every moment of their daily lives. They become happy as long as the benefit of these decisions is above their cost. If real life worked under a complete information hypothesis, all the individuals would live happily forever. In this situation, correct decision making becomes a very important subject for the individuals. There are many decision-making methods. There is no general consensus as to which one of them gives the best solution. Instead, it is suggested to conduct sensitivity analysis in the issue of the reliability of the MCDM methods or comparison to another method. In this study, it has been aimed to compare EDAS and COPRAS methods. For this, the results obtained from EDAS method have been compared to COPRAS and EFI methods. All three methods give the same performance results. The found results are statistically significant. This result supports the strong relationship existing among MCDM methods
Cocculus hirsutus Leaf Assisted Green Synthesis of Ag-Au Bimetallic Nanoparticles and their Antioxidant Properties
Authors: Bar Harekrishna
Published: May 2022

Bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) of silver and gold are synthesized by eco- friendly green chemical procedure using leaf extract of Cocculus hirsutus. Under the experimental condition most individual silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are spherical whereas silver-gold bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag-Au BMNPs) found cloudy and lost their individual shape. Ag-Au BMNPs formed by the co-reduction of Au(III) and Ag(I) ions in aqueous leaves extract solution where the extract act as both reducing and capping agent. NPs were characterized with the help of UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopy exhibit surface plasmon absorption maxima at 435 and 540 nm for AgNPs and AuNPs respectively whereas surface plasmon resonance (SPR) maxima for Au-Ag bimetallic appeared in between the peaks corresponding to pure silver and gold at the same reaction conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that crystalline nanoparticles (NPs) are face centered cubic structure. The synthesized bimetallic nanocomposites show stronger scavenging ability, around 67% and 75% on hydroxyl radical and superoxide radicals at the concentration of 400 µg/ml respectively, compared to the mono metallic AgNPs and AuNPs, indicating stronger antioxidant properties of Ag-Au BMNPs.
Effect of Varying Doping Level on Structural, Electrical and Optical Properties of Al Doped ZnO Spin Coated Films
Authors: Basu Sangita Rani , Mou Sinthia Shabnam
Published: May 2022

The synthesis and characterization of spin-coated Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films with varying Al concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) onto glass substrates have been demonstrated in this paper. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the spin-coated thin films have been investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis, Van Der Pauw method and UV-visible spectroscopy. The EDX study shows well-defined peaks which confirm the presence of only Zn, O and Al and no other impurities in the films. The increase of Al and decrease of Zn weight percentages with increasing doping level confirms the effective substitution of Zn by Al. SEM of the surfaces of the films shows that undoped ZnO films contain particle agglomeration which is reduced with Al doping and the surfaces of the films gradually became more uniform. The thickness of the AZO films varied from 86 to 699 nm with increasing Al doping concentration. The electrical conductivity of the films increased up to ~ 7 × 10-2 (Ω.cm)-1 due to doping with 5% Al concentration. The optical transmittance highly increased above 95% in the visible range with the introduction of Al dopant and it kept rising with the increase of Al concentration. The optical energy band gap of undoped ZnO increased from 3.275eV to 3.342 eV with 5% Al doping.

Purpose: Predicting the prices of crops is a principal task for producers, suppliers, governments and international businesses. The purpose of the study is to forecast the prices of green chili, which is a cash crop in Sri Lanka. Artificial neural networks were applied as they help to extract important insights from the bulk of data with a scientific approach. Research Method: The Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN), Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN) with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm and FFNN with Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) algorithm were employed on weekly average retail prices of green chili in Sri Lanka from the 1st week of January 2011 to the 4th week of December 2018. The performance of models was evaluated through the Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Normalized Mean Squared Error (NMSE). Findings: Among the three methods implemented, the FFNN model using the LM algorithm exhibited the highest accuracy with a minimum MSE of 0.0033, MAE of 0.0437 and NMSE of 0.2542. The model built using the SCG algorithm fitted data with a minimum MSE of 0.0033, MAE of 0.0458 and NMSE of 0.2549. Among the fitted TDNN models, the model with 8 input delays were a better model with an MSE of 0.0036, MAE of 0.0470 and NMSE of 0.3221. FFNNs outperformed TDNN in forecasting green chili prices of Sri Lanka. Originality/ Value: The neural network approach in forecasting the prices of green chili provides more accurate results to make decisions based on the trends and to identify future opportunities

Vitamin D receptor gene variations and their haplotypic association: Possible impact on gastric cancer risk
Authors: Qadir Jasiya , Majid Sabhiya , Khan Mosin Saleem , Wani Mumtaz Din , Naikoo Niyaz A.
Published: May 2022

Background:

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene alterations have been associated with the occurrence and prognosis of various types of cancers, but only few studies have focussed on gastric cancer (GC) risk.

Objectives:

This case–control study was conceived to evaluate possible association of VDR polymorphisms (Fok1, Taq1, and Cdx2) with GC risk.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 293 subjects, including 143 GC patients and 150 controls were included in this study. The genotypes were elucidated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism followed by DNA sequencing.

Results:

The frequency of Fok1 genotypes (TC and TT) was found higher in GC cases compared to controls (P ≤ 0.05). In the stratified analysis, we observed a significant association of the (CT + TT) variant with GC risk in males, rural dwellers, smokers, and preobese cases, and those having no family history of Gastrointestinal cancer (P ≤ 0.05). In silico analysis predicted that the Fok1 variant impacts the stability and functional efficiency of the protein. Some exact haplotypes (CCG and CCA) of the VDR gene may act as low penetrance alleles in inclination to GC.

Conclusion:

VDR Fok1 polymorphism is significantly associated with GC risk in the Kashmiri population. Specific haplotypes in the VDR gene could act synergistically in the development of GC.

Published: May 2022

Trade and Transport Margins is the difference between the sales value and th e purchase value of the commodity as compensation for the trader who is the distributor of the commodity. The higher Trade and Transport Margins indicates the longer and less efficient distribution pattern, so that it can harm producers and consumers. Data is taken from the 2020 Poldis survey with strategic commodities of Rice, Eggs, Sugar, and Cooking Oil. The value of the National Trade and Transport Margins in 2020 for rice and sugar has decreased but is not followed by an increasing number of provincial Trade and Transport Margins which have decreased. It is necessary to conduct an analysis to determine the characteristics of commodities in each province, hierarchical cluster analysis by comparing the application of the average, complete, single, ward's, and centroid methods to obtain the best method. Based on the results of hierarchical cluster analysis for all methods, then compared the cophenetic correlation values ​​ and the highest correlation on the average method with a correlation of 0.8318939. Then cluster profiling was carried out using the average method, it was concluded that Cluster 1 was dominated by low Trade and Transport Margins for all commodities, so that the distribution pattern of all commodities was efficient in 28 provinces in Indonesia. Cluster 2 has the characteristics of high Trade and Transport Margins of Rice and Cooking Oil as well as eggs and moderate sugar, so the distribution pattern is still not efficient for rice and cooking oil commodities in 4 provinces in Indonesia. Cluster 3 has the characteristics of high Trade and Transport Margins of eggs and sugar as well as medium of rice and cooking oil, so the distribution pattern is still not efficient for eggs and sugar in 2 provinces in Indonesia. Based on the results of the cluster analysis, it is hoped that it can be used as a reference in formulating and establishing policies as an effort to reduce the Trade and Transport Margins value of strategic commodities in provinces in clusters 2 and 3 according to the conditions of commodity characteristics so that the distribution pattern of strategic commodities becomes more efficient.

This research is a quantitative study using the Quasi Experimental Design method with the research design Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique used random sampling by taking all the population into a sample, where class VIII A consisted of 19 students as the control class and class VIII B had 19 students as the experimental class. The data collection technique was carried out using a multiple-choice test totaling 16 questions. The analysis in this study used the t_test test and the phi correlation test. From the results of the ttest test at the dan  significance levels, it was found that . Because  and from the results of the analysis at the significance level of dan  it was obtained  because    was rejected, meaning that there was a significant effect between student learning outcomes in the experimental class and the control class. Thus, it can be concluded that the learning outcomes of students who use the RME-based LKPD are better than the learning outcomes of students who use Scientific-based LKPD

Tetanus je akutna zarazna bolest u pasa koja nastaje uslijed djelovanja neurotoksina bakterije C. tetani. Ulazna vrata su najčešće ubodne rane ili ozljede na koži. Inkubacija može trajati u vremenskom rasponu od tri dana do tri tjedna. Razlikujemo dva klinička oblika bolesti: lokalizirani i generalizirani. Kod lokaliziranog oblika vidljiva je ukočenost ekstremiteta na kojem se nalazi ozljeda ili rana. Tipični klinički znaci generalizirang oblika bolesti su grč muskulature lica, a tijekom progresije bolesti dolazi do generalizirane ukočenosti svih ekstremiteta, intermitentnih toničkih grčeva dišne muskulature te spastične paralize. Bolest je popraćena brojnim komplikacijama, a letalan ishod posljedica je respiratornog ili srčanog zastoja. Dijagnostika se temelji na detaljnoj anamnezi i tipičnoj kliničkoj slici. Liječenje tetanusa uključuje kiruršku obradu rane, neutralizaciju slobodnog neurotoksina antitoksinom, sprječavanje daljnjeg umnažanja bakterije C. tetani antimikrobnim pripravcima te potpornu terapiju. Sam proces liječenja je dugotrajan, a prognoza i ishod bolesti ne ovise samo o obliku i tijeku bolesti već i o njezinom pravovremenom prepoznavanju te adekvatnom liječenju. Uz sve navedeno potrebno je naglasiti da još uvijek ne postoji jedinstveni pristup liječenju ove bolesti u pasa. Imunoprofilaksa tetanusa u pasa se ne provodi.

The present study was performed to give a detailed histopathological description of genital abnormalities found in normal, clinically healthy female camels. A total of 165 apparently healthy female camels were randomly selected at the El Oued slaughterhouse at the south east of Algeria. Histopathological analysis was carried out on 25 pathological formations of ovaries (follicular, haemorrhagic and luteinized cysts and teratoma), uterine infections (clinical, chronic and pyometra), uterine serosal inclusion cyst, uterine agenesis and ovarian infundibular cyst, by establishing elementary lesions related to each macroscopic condition. A significant impairment of normal structure of each studied reproductive organ was recorded. The prevalence of animals showing genital abnormalities was 15%. The frequency incidence of ovarian lesions was ranked first (56%) followed by uterine affections (28%) and finally ovarian bursa abnormalities with four cases (16%). The incidence of genital conditions was as follows: follicular cysts (28%), haemorrhagic cysts (16%), hydrobursitis (16%), chronic endometritis (12%), luteinized follicular cysts (8%), clinical metritis (4%), pyometra (4%), dermoid cysts (4%), uterine agenesis (4%) and uterine serosal inclusion cysts (4%). The main lesions of the uterine infection were congestions, oedema, endometrial epithelium and glandular degeneration and infiltration by inflammatory cells. Uterine agenesis was characterised by a lack of endometrial glands and hyalinization of the myometrium. The mean lesions for the infundibular cyst were congestion, haemorrhage and hemosiderophages, infiltration by inflammatory cells, endometrial degeneration and vacuolation and pseudo-glandular dilations. The ovarian dermoid cyst showed a keratinized and scaly epithelium housed in fibrous connective tissue containing hair follicles, and sebaceous and sweat glands. The ovarian cysts showed thin or enlarged granulosa and internal theca with luteinization or vacuolation of the antral cavity. Finally, serosal inclusion cyst of the uterus appeared as dilation between the myometrium and the perimetrium with homogenous content. Concerning the above, the reported elementary genital abnormalities are indicated as responsible for the delayed reproduction, infertility and unsatisfactory camel livestock outcomes.
Forenzička patologija u prosuđivanju zlostavljanja životinja - trovanje životinja metaldehidom

Published: May 2022

Metaldehyde is the active ingredient in molluscicide that is used against snails. Poisoning of animals can be accidental or intentional. Metaldehyde poisoning is most often recorded in dogs. Clinical signs can develop within 10 minutes, mostly 1-3 hours after metaldehyde ingestion. There is no antidote for metaldehyde and therapy comes down to elimination of poison from organism and control of muscle tremor and convulsions. This paper presents our experiences in the forensic investigation of animal abuse by poisoning with metaldehyde (three dogs, one cat, and one hedgehog). Pathoanatomical and histopathological findings are shown. Reasonable suspicion of poisoning with metaldehyde is based on the finding of specific cyan-coloured gastrointestinal contents. The final diagnosis is made by toxicological evidence of metaldehyde in liver, kidney and gastric content of the poisoned animal.

Transmisivne spongiformne encefalopatije su grupa rijetkih, progresivnih neurodegenerativnih bolesti od kojih obolijevaju ljudi i veći broj životinjskih vrsta, a prouzroči ih prion. Infekcija je dugi vremenski period asimptomatska, a bolest je progresivna i neminovno letalnog ishoda. U skupinu transmisivnih spongiformnih encefalopatija spadaju: klasična i atipična goveđa spongiformna encefalopatija, klasični i atipični grebež u ovaca i koza, spongiformna encefalopatija jelena, transmisivna encefalopatija američke vidrice, mačja spongiformna encefalopatija, Creutzfeldt- Jakobova bolest, varijanta Creutzfeldt- Jakobove bolesti, Gerstmann-Sträussler- Scheinker sindrom, familijarna fatalna insomnija i kuru. Za postojanje ove bolesti na ovcama zna se već gotovo tri stoljeća. Predmetne bolesti su se izučavale tijekom 20. stoljeća, ali su se tek pojavom epizootije goveđe spongiformne encefalopatije 80-ih godina prošlog stoljeća u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu (UK) te otkrivanjem novih dijagnostičkih metoda, istraživanja intenzivirala. Otkriven je i uzročnik bolesti - prion (proteinska zarazna čestica). Prion je normalni stanični protein pronađen prije svega na površini neurona, ali i drugih stanica u organizmu, koji se zbog još uvijek neobjašnjivih razloga u biokemijskim procesima sinteze proteina promijeni i postaje uzročnik encefalopatije. U ovome članku prikazani su rezultati praćenja goveđe spongiformne encefalopatije i grebeža ovaca u Republici Hrvatskoj od 2001. do kraja 2021. godine. Goveđa spongiformna encefalopatija se sistematski nadzire od 2001., dok se grebež ovaca nadzire od 2002. godine. Do kraja 2021. godine ukupno je pretraženo 454.822 uzoraka moždanog tkiva goveda, a tijekom navedenog perioda nije utvrđen niti jedan pozitivan uzorak. Na grebež ovaca pretraženo je ukupno 25.332 uzoraka moždanog tkiva koza i ovaca. Laboratorijskim pretraživanjem nije utvrđen niti jedan pozitivan uzorak na klasični grebež ovaca, ali su potvrđena četiri slučaja atipičnog grebeža u ovaca. Na temelju svih provedenih aktivnosti i nadziranja goveđe spongiformne encefalopatije u Republici Hrvatskoj je od strane Svjetske organizacije za zdravlje životinja 2014. godine dodijeljen status zemlje sa zanemarivim rizikom u odnosu na goveđu spongiformnu encefalopatiju, što je ujedno i najviši zdravstveni status u odnosu na ovu bolest.
El sector informal en el Ecuador. Artesanos, empresarios y empresas familiares precarias
Authors: Middleton Alan
Published: May 2022

Alan Middleton. Profesor emérito de Estudios Urbanos de Birmingham City Alan Middleton ofrece una retrospectiva de larga duración sobre la evolución del Ecuador entre 1975 y 2015, en la que muestra cómo las transformaciones a escala macro han afectado localmente a familias y a sus lugares de trabajo. El impacto del neoliberalismo y de las nuevas fuentes de ingresos provenientes del petróleo, en una economía tradicionalmente depen - diente de las exportaciones agrícolas, transformó al sector informal y artesanal del Ecuador. Al explorar esta dinámica, Middleton combina un análisis a nivel micro con otro a nivel macro para demostrar cómo las relaciones sociales del artesanado están conecta - das con los sistemas sociales, económicos y políticos más amplios en los cuales opera. Para vincular la microproducción con la economía en general, el autor analiza los nexos entre los diferen - tes tipos de empresas artesanales y sus consumido - res, sus conexiones con el sector privado y el Estado, la importancia que tienen las redes, el capital social y el capital financiero para estos productores. En suma, investiga cómo artesanos, empresarios y empresas familiares protegen sus intereses cuando se enfrentan con políticas neolibe - rales y con los impactos de la globalización.

Published: May 2022

Este artigo trata do contexto histórico em que aconteceu o processo de implantação e expansão dos Movimentos Pentecostais, anteriores e posteriores à Reforma Protestante. Assim, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi o de compreender como os diferentes segmentos religiosos se dispersaram através dos séculos e dos continentes. Para isto, focalizamos um olhar sobre as suas bases teológicas e respectivos missionários, a fim de reconstruir um retrato da sua trajetória através dos séculos e dos continentes. Por intermédio de uma revisão bibliográfica e de documentos históricos foi possível compreender não apenas o contexto histórico, mas também as matrizes ideológicas, suas vertentes e seus principais personagens, representados na figura de alguns de seus discípulos e seguidores. Ademais, foi possível identificar também a dinâmica de suas transformações e seus princípios doutrinários, em suas perspectivas teológicas e eclesiológicas. Desta forma, pode-se concluir que a vitalidade das genituras dogmáticas dos segmentos pentecostais, se alojaram na estrutura de alguns grupos sociais. Estes, os acolheram e lhe deram características específicas, ao longo dos séculos e continentes, e que ainda continua atraindo milhões de pessoas em várias partes do mundo.
