Authors: Chervinskaya Alina V. , Khan Maya A. , Korchazhkina Natalya B. , Lyan Natalia A. , Mikitchenko Natalia A.
Published: November 2023

Aromatherapy is a method of treatment using natural essential oils injected into the body through the respiratory tract, skin and (or) mucous membranes. Currently, about 3,000 essential oil plants have been studied, from which over 500 organic compounds have been isolated and identified, the number of which in the composition of one essential oil can vary from 120 to 500, and no essential oil has yet been fully investigated.
Essential oils are multicomponent organic compounds of terpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and other hydrocarbons produced by essential oil plants. Biologically active substances of essential oils have a low molecular weight and therefore easily penetrate the skin through the bloodstream. The effect exerted on a person by essential oils is determined in two ways ― neuro-reflex and humoral. Each essential oil is multifunctional. The composition of essential oils can include up to 300 components, so they can have several medicinal properties at the same time, but there is a general trend in the action of essential oils. All of them have immunomodulatory, pronounced bactericidal and antiseptic effects, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
In medical practice, the method of hardware aromatherapy is used, the active factor of which is a therapeutic respiratory environment that simulates the natural air background over plants. The study of the effect of essential oils in children's institutions showed their positive effect on the general condition of children, emotional tone, immunological reactivity and nonspecific protection factors, the frequency and severity of respiratory pathology, the course of the adaptation period. The beneficial effect of the complex effect of aromatherapy in the sensory room is shown.
Thus, the high efficiency of hardware aromatherapy, good tolerability, the availability of domestic equipment allows us to recommend the method for wide use in therapeutic and preventive and sanatorium-resort institutions.

The professorate remains predominantly white, and predominantly male in 2023. Despite a perceived shift in educational practice towards the creation of inclusive climates and campus workplaces, Black women's career advancement to full professor over the past 25 years remained flat at a mere 2%. Black women's career advancement and well-being in predominantly white higher education spaces was hindered by racism-related stress' negative impact on brain, mental, emotional, and physical health. The work of diversity, equity, and inclusion is slow, but Black women faculty's need for neuroprotective strategies poses an immediate need in higher education ecologies to alleviate the harmful, life altering impacts of racism-related stress. The explanatory sequential mixed method study explores Black women faculty experiences with prejudice and discrimination at predominantly white colleges and universities and their use of meditative practices to metabolize racism-related stress. Results show significant evidence of scalability of neuroprotective strategies to support Black women's well-being more broadly in higher education ecologies. Black women faculty self-reported improvements in their ability to process and manage the emotional, mental, and physical stress that was precipitated by experiences of prejudice and discrimination in higher education ecologies.

This behavioral analysis investigates physician background factors affecting innovation adoption. This is a topic of importance as innovations can improve patient-health outcomes. Current literature suggests a 17-year lag between innovation conception to mainstream practice adoption. This study attempts to quantify factors in physicians' backgrounds to highlight their effect on innovation adoption. To investigate this, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes that track physicians' procedures were tracked for one year and correlated to what medical degree physicians attained, the type of specialty they trained in, and their gender. Chi-square tests and logistic regressions were used on the binary variables to assess significance. Statistical analysis suggests physicians are more likely to perform innovative procedures in their medical practices if they are female (regardless of specialty), graduated from a US-based medical school, and were trained in a residency program that focuses on more technical patient treatments. Future research can ascertain through qualitative analysis the exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon and can be used for a decision matrix for health management systems to predict which physicians would benefit from interventions, helping them increase their tendency to adopt innovations so patients can receive the most up-to-date care.

Power-curriculum, collective memory, and alternative approaches in learning history
Authors: Kurniawan Ganda Febri
Published: November 2023

This study analyzes the curriculum's influence, collective memory formation, and alternative approaches to learning history. This research was carried out using qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. The data in this study consisted of 3 sources: informants, documents, and learning activities. Data analysis applied Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research findings show that, as a reference document, the curriculum also has a negative impact on teachers, one of which is the perception that the curriculum is a rigid document and inhibits teacher freedom. So that in learning history, collective memory is formed based on official history, which is very difficult for teachers to provide information about alternative history. Teachers must implement alternative learning approaches such as humanism, critical pedagogy, and reflective approaches. To create a more enjoyable learning atmosphere and to accommodate all groups in Indonesia to be involved in discussing the history of their nation, which is humane and free from grudges and hatred.

Objective: Studies show that in patients diagnosed with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests can give false negative results depending on sampling techniques/regions. In this study; the positivity of virus RNA was studied consecutive lung tru cut needle biopsy taken at 6-hour intervals in cases who died during treatment due to COVID-19 infection, it was aimed to determine the postmortem safe working range.
Methods: 21 patients who died during treatment due to COVID-19 infection diagnosed with clinical and/or RNA detection were included. Antemortem, postmortem swabs results, and virus RNA detection by PCR made from postmortem lung tissue samples were compared with their clinics. 
Results: Fifteen (71.4%) of 21 cases were male and 6 (28.6%) were female. The mean age is 71.9 (standard deviation=12.079). All of the toracic CT findings at hospitalization had a ground-glass opacity. The mean hospitalization time was 11.7 days. Antemortem nasopharyngeal virus positivity was shown in 13 cases (61.9%), postmortem nasopharyngeal virus positivity in 5 cases (23.8%), and virus positivity in lung tissue samples in 7 cases (33.3%). No significant correlation was found virus positivity in nasopharyngeal swab and lung tissue sample, the incompatibility rate was 19.1%, which was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Although the targeted sample size could not be reached due to study limitations, the inconsistency in virus positivity in nasopharyngeal swabs and lung tissue samples is significant. It is certain that studies with a large comparative sample are needed in terms of postmortem survival time, clinical and organ damage caused by the virus.

Authors: Kumar Mukesh , Farooq Shaheen , Khan Nabab A. , Kochar Anju , Sunda Prinyanka
Published: November 2023

Background: Pterygium is a benign, wing-shaped, fibrovascular growth that originates on the bulbar conjunctiva and can spread to the limbus and beyond, causing morphometric changes in the cornea and affecting visual status. Aim of study was to study the morphometric changes in the cornea in patients with pterygium.
Methods: Prospective hospital-based analytical study conducted on 100 consecutive patients with unilateral pterygium for two years. Each patient underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including evaluation of visual acuity refraction, corneal curvature, corneal endothelial cell density (CECD), central corneal thickness (CCT), coefficient of variation (CV) and hexagonality. Necessary demographic data and variables like age, smoking status and occupation were also determined. The healthy eye was considered as a control.
Results: Majority of the study population, i.e. 43%, belonging to the 21-40 years of age group; socioeconomically, maximum cases (61%) were found in class IV with a male preponderance of 53%. 56% of patients hailed from rural areas, and regarding occupation, it was found that 37% of patients were farmers. This study found that the majority of patients (60% of cases) had multiple ocular complaints. There was a significant association between pterygium grade and keratometric astigmatism. Our study found a significant difference between ECD, hexagonality and CV in the normal and diseased eye. CCT was found more in diseased eyes but was significant only in grade IV pterygium.
Conclusions: Pterygium leads to deterioration of visual performance by causing refractive and keratometric changes.

Published: November 2023

Background: During COVID-19 outbreak there was a drastic reduction in voluntary blood donation and cancellation of blood camps. Students and youth constitute a huge pool of voluntary blood donors and can also educate others in the community. Aim was to assess voluntary blood donation practices and its barriers during the COVID-19 pandemic among undergraduate students in Karnataka and assess knowledge and attitude towards blood donation.
Methods: This was a retrospective record analysis of a 2021 online survey data collected as part of a student’s educational research exercise. Records of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of blood donation among undergraduate students were retrieved and analyzed.
Results: Of the records of 232 undergraduate students, 64.2% (149) and 62.1% (144) were medical students and females. None of the participants had complete knowledge and there was significant difference in the knowledge of medical and non-medical students regarding blood donation. Satisfactory attitude towards blood donating procedure was seen among 64.2% students. Blood donation had been done by 19% and 4.7% of participants before and during the pandemic, respectively with majority being males and slightly more by non-medical students. Willingness to donate blood in the future was seen among 94.4%.
Conclusions: The results suggest the need for awareness campaigns to address misconceptions and improve knowledge and attitude towards blood donation; also, to increase the number of voluntary blood donations as there was a high willingness to donate blood in the future. This could also be translated to other epidemics or pandemics that may arise in the future.

Published: November 2023

Corneal perforation is an ocular emergency arising from various causes of infectious and non-infectious disease. Its management could range from temporising measures to various surgical intervention. This study was done to evaluate the causes and management of corneal perforation among mentally disabled patients in Melaka. Retrospective review was done using the ward admission records from 2019 to 2022. Data gathered from cases with corneal perforation was reviewed. There were total of 15 patients with 8 (53.4%) males and 7 (46.6%) females. Out of these, 10 (66.6%) patients are mentally disabled. Majority of the patients (73%) were more than 50 years old. The visual acuity at presentation was poorer than 3/60 in 12 (80%) patients, out of which 10 (83%) patients are mentally disabled. There was a high proportion of perforation, 12 (80%) caused by infective keratitis which is also the main cause of perforation among disabled patients. Among the mentally disabled patients, 5 patients (50%) underwent evisceration, 4 patients (40%) underwent conjunctival flap and 1 patient (10%) was managed conservatively. Comparing with the patients without disability, 2 (40%) patients underwent tectonic keratoplasty, 2 (40%) patients underwent evisceration and 1 (20%) patient underwent conjunctival flap. People with disabilities experience worse health and poorer access to health care compared to people without disability. The presenting visual acuity in the disabled group is poorer. The main cause of corneal perforation among mentally disabled was infection and the options of treatments mainly were conjunctival flaps and evisceration.

Individuals with special needs may have conditions that are either present from birth, arise from environmental factors, or are acquired later in life. These conditions can significantly restrict their ability to engage in everyday activities, such as self-care tasks and essential life activities. Special needs encompass a wide range of conditions, including physical, developmental, mental, sensory, behavioral, and emotional impairments. These individuals may face challenges in communication and cooperation during dental treatment. Various medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, bleeding disorders, and pregnancy, also impact endodontic care. Management strategies include careful evaluation, the use of general anesthesia, and minimizing technical compromises. Dental professionals deal with individuals in their everyday routines who suffer from a variety of medical conditions and special circumstances The review further discusses considerations for patients with bleeding disorders, diabetes, lung disorders, HIV, and those undergoing cancer treatment. Finally, it highlights the unique challenges of providing endodontic care to elderly patients and COVID-19-positive individuals, emphasizing the importance of safety protocols during the pandemic.

Published: November 2023

El prospecto La Felipeña y otras manifestaciones minerales localizadas en el área periurbana de San Felipe (Baja California) consisten en vetas de cuarzo-carbonato con escasos sulfuros, mica blanca y turmalina, que muestran contenidos anómalos de Au. Las vetas se emplazaron en rocas metasedimentarias paleozoicas en facies de esquistos verdes y en diques cuarzo dioríticos que intruyen a las primeras. En este estudio, se presentan dos dataciones radiométricas que constriñen la edad de la mineralización en La Felipeña entre ~94 y 83 Ma. Una muestra de un dique encajonante arrojó una edad U-Pb en circones de 94.0 ± 0.8 Ma. El límite inferior corresponde a una edad 40Ar/39Ar en micas blancas hidrotermales de 82.73 ± 0.14 Ma. El estudio de inclusiones fluidas en cuarzo hidrotermal arroja temperaturas de atrapamiento entre ~400° y 530 °C, una presión de atrapamiento de ~210 MPa y salinidades de fluidos mineralizantes entre 5 y 14 wt.% NaCl equiv. La formación del depósito está asociada, en parte, a efervescencia. El depósito La Felipeña muestra características similares a los de tipo oro orogénico y es el primer caso documentado de este estilo de mineralización formado durante la transición entre la orogenia de las Sierras Peninsulares (~110−90 Ma), con la que culmina la construcción del batolito de las Sierras Peninsulares, y la orogenia Larámide sensu lato (~90−40 Ma), vinculada a un incremento de la tasa de convergencia entre las placas Farallón y Norteamérica. La mineralización aurífera del área de San Felipe prueba la continuidad espacio-temporal entre los cinturones de oro orogénico de las Sierras Peninsulares (~106−92 Ma) y Caborca (~77−36 Ma) en el extremo oriental del batolito de las Sierras Peninsulares.

Published: November 2023

El Grupo Sierra Madre de Chiapas tiene informalidades en su nomenclatura estratigráfica que han sido transmitidas a través de la literatura geológica. Este trabajo describe las características de tres sucesiones litoestratigráficas que hacen comprensible la división tripartita del Grupo Sierra Madre. Una litología particular, que aquí se define sucesión El Chango, separa las sucesiones Cantelhá y Cintalapa para integrar a este grupo. Adicionalmente, la sucesión El Chango hace posible realizar una cartografía apropiada y su correlación permite interpretar la distribución regional de facies sedimentarias que presentan estas sucesiones. La epifluorescencia de rocas de la sucesión El Chango (Cenomaniano) exhibe compuestos orgánicos. Datos de pirólisis indican ⁓0.22% de carbón orgánico total en roca carbonatada, su reflectancia equivalente es 0.7 y 1.0, que ubica a la roca en la ventana de generación del aceite y gas metagénico, los valores de S2 menores de 0.2 mg HC/g hacen cuestionable el bajo potencial de expulsión de hidrocarburos, por lo que se requieren análisis adicionales. La porosidad impregnada con asfalto en rocas del Grupo Sierra Madre sugiere la existencia de roca almacén, cubierta regionalmente por rocas pelíticas como sello y los cambios de facies y deformación indica la existencia de trampas potenciales. Los datos de este trabajo proponen explorar un play hipotético petrolero en esta región.

Authors: Żabińska Agnieszka , Kulesza Ewa M. , Walczak Grażyna
Published: November 2023

W czasie pandemii COVID-19 ograniczenie możliwości przemieszczania się, utrudniony bezpośredni dostęp do świadczeń medycznych, zamknięcie szkół i różnych placówek użytku publicznego sprawiło, że ludzkość znalazła się w bardzo trudnej sytuacji, szczególnie pod kątem organizacji własnego życia i podtrzymania relacji społecznych. Skutki tych ograniczeń szczególnie silnie odczuły osoby z niepełnosprawnościami oraz ich rodziny. Celem opisanych w artykule badań było rozpoznanie możliwości wsparcia artystów z niepełnosprawnością, przede wszystkim artystów z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną, w sytuacji izolacji społecznej spowodowanej pandemią COVID-19 z perspektywy instytucji działających na ich rzecz. Zastosowano metodę sondażu pogłębionego. Na pierwszym etapie badań wykorzystano technikę ankiety. Kwestionariusz ankiety rozesłano do 400. instytucji wspierających artystów z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną na terenie całej Polski. Otrzymano 21 odpowiedzi, które poddano analizie. Wyniki badań ujawniły, że instytucje statutowo działające na rzecz twórców z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną nie zawiesiły działalności w czasie pandemii COVID-19 i w zdecydowanej większości udzielały wsparcia w ramach standardowo obowiązujących przepisów. Niektóre z nich wypracowały własne, nowatorskie i warte rozpowszechnienia sposoby wspierania twórców z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną.
Wypalenie rodzicielskie i jego osobowościowe uwarunkowania – badania nad słyszącymi matkami młodych dorosłych z głuchotą prelingwalną
Authors: Kobosko Joanna
Published: November 2023

Wypalenie rodzicielskie jest syndromem pojawiającym się w odpowiedzi na ekspozycję na chroniczny i przytłaczający stres rodzicielski, a wśród czynników ryzyka jego wystąpienia znajduje się bycie matką lub ojcem dziecka z niepełnosprawnością, jak i cechy osobowości rodziców, zwłaszcza neurotyzm. Nieliczne są badania na ten temat w odniesieniu do rodziców dzieci głuchych, a jak dotąd nie przeprowadzono ich z udziałem matek, których dzieci wkroczyły w okres wczesnej dorosłości. Celem pracy jest odpowiedź na pytanie o osobowościowe uwarunkowania wypalenia rodzicielskiego słyszących matek młodych dorosłych z głuchotą prelingwalną, użytkowników implantu ślimakowego. W badaniach wzięło udział 75 matek dzieci z głuchotą prelingwalną w wieku od 18 do 24 (M=21,49; SD=1,55) lat, które wypełniły Kwestionariusz Wypalenia Rodzicielskiego (PBM-12), Krótki Kwestionariusz do Pomiaru Wielkiej Piątki IPIP-BFM-20 oraz Ankietę informacyjną na temat danych socjodemograficznych, a także związanych z głuchotą i implantem ślimakowym u dzieci. Z badań wynika, że wypalenie rodzicielskie matek młodych dorosłych z głuchotą prelingwalną jest znacząco niższe niż u matek dzieci z innymi niż głuchota niepełnosprawnościami, jak i pozostaje w związku z ich wykształceniem (niższym) i miejscem zamieszkania (miasto). Otrzymano, że istnieje ujemna zależność między wypaleniem rodzicielskim a stabilnością emocjonalną, jak i cechą intelekt/wyobraźnia. Rezultaty badań prowadzą do konkluzji, iż te matki, które doświadczają wypalenia rodzicielskiego wymagają różnych form interwencji psychologicznej celem zwiększenia ich zasobów rodzicielskich, zwłaszcza ujawniających się w stabilności emocjonalnej oraz otwartości na doświadczenie (cecha intelekt/wyobraźnia).
Wspieranie dziecka z chorobą nowotworową i jego rodziny poprzez warsztaty terapeutyczne – na przykładzie „Zabawolandii”
Authors: Nowak Monika
Published: November 2023

Choroba nowotworowa diametralnie zmienia dotychczasowe życie i świat rodziny poprzez przerwanie łańcucha ciągłości biograficznej. Artykuł wskazuje obszary wsparcia terapeutycznego, które umożliwiają podjęcie przez chore dziecko oraz jego rodziców pracy biograficznej w celu przywrócenia utraconej „normalności”. Miejscem, gdzie praca biograficzna jest podejmowana, są warsztaty terapeutyczne zwane „Zabawolandią”, wykorzystujące twórczość. Twórczość bowiem jest przestrzenią wolności, której choroba, jeśli tylko chore dziecko i jego rodzice otrzymają wsparcie psychopedagogiczne, nie musi zawłaszczyć. Możliwość tworzenia daje sposobność do oswojenia się z nową sytuacją. Warunkuje powrót kontroli nad swoim życiem oraz pomaga stworzyć nową, silną tożsamość. Wyzwala też siły do podejmowania codziennej walki z chorobą.

Authors: Isaeva Ludmila , Borisova Eleonora , Khrustaleva Yuliya
Published: November 2023

When studying exogenous factors of the Far North that negatively affect human health, it was established: the impact of not only low temperatures, traumatic aerodynamic conditions, and a deficiency of ultraviolet radiation, but also geomagnetic field tension, microelement shifts in the composition of soil and water, and fluctuations in atmospheric pressure levels. A special role for carrying out therapeutic and diagnostic measures is played by the fact that the entire territory located beyond the Arctic Circle belongs to zones with a significant deficiency of the biologically active part of the solar spectrum of ultraviolet radiation. This leads to disruption of photoperiodicity due to the change of polar day and polar night, disruption of biological rhythms, and a decrease in reserve capabilities for regulating homeostasis. The fact that a person lives in a long-term deficiency of ultraviolet radiation affects all biological processes occurring in the body; it plays a special role in the occurrence and development of some forms of cheilitis. The study involved 37 patients aged 18 to 55 years with a diagnosis of chronic recurrent fissure of the lip, meteorological cheilitis, dry form of exfoliative cheilitis, symptomatic atopic cheilitis. After a thorough history, review of patient medical records, and dental examination, serum vitamin D and E levels were measured in all patients before treatment. The best results in treatment were achieved by prescribing combined ointments based on glucocorticoids and antibacterial/antifungal components in combination with physiotherapeutic procedures.

This paper analyzed the relationship between emergent teaching strategies and the challenges professors at Universidad Icesi (Cali, Colombia) faced when transitioning to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey with open-ended questions was used to conduct a content analysis, followed by a correspondence analysis. The main findings were that most professors described submitting information and interaction as the most common teaching strategies. The challenges were primarily emotional and technical in nature. There were differences in discipline, gender, and age. Furthermore, there was no alignment between the challenges and the proposed strategies. Finally, this research has significant implications for future teacher training programs that emphasize faculty diversity.

Shifting the scientific paradigm for the transformation of higher education: Experience at State Islamic University (UIN) in Indonesia
Authors: Muthohar Ahmad , Ghofur Abdul , Jamil M. Mukhsin , Sulthon Muhammad
Published: November 2023

Every university has many ways to make changes, and institutional transformation is one of the strategic choices to achieve excellence. However, the transformation of higher education is still dynamically defined and open. The practice also has many models and differences. This article examines the scientific paradigm shift to rethink the practice of transformation for higher education. Identifying new scientific paradigms, shifting processes, models used, practical steps, factors, and challenges is the primary concern of research work. This research was conducted qualitatively with a narrative approach. Multi-site studies at several State Islamic Universities (UIN) in Indonesia were reviewed to obtain findings about the different models applied. The results show that the transformation of higher education is simultaneously carried out by changing the institutional status and renewing the scientific paradigm. Science integration is used as a new scientific paradigm even though, in practice, each university has a different model. This new paradigm has wideranging impacts, such as eliminating scientific dichotomies that have long been practiced, expanding multidisciplinary scientific structures, and adding authority to develop faculties and study programs. Another impact is the existence of new awareness and enthusiasm for several changes in the aspects of it. Many challenges need to be anticipated to obtain better quality, such as the need for curriculum reformulation, changes in organizational behavior, a new image, and many other programs. We recommend this finding as an example of good practice in improving the quality and institutional system of higher education. To understand the wider impact of this transformation process, such as competency and graduate outcomes, changes in organizational behavior, the direction of research and community service programs, and their social impact in the future, more research on sustainability is needed.

Cuando la gobernanza de los algoritmos falla: el caso The DAO
Authors: Sandoval Archila Javier
Published: November 2023

Este artículo explora los desafíos de la gobernanza algorítmica utilizando el estudio de caso de The DAO, una efímera tentativa de crear una organización autónoma descentralizada en la plataforma de blockchain Ethereum. A pesar de su breve existencia y la significativa pérdida de inversión debido a una explotación de seguridad, The DAO ofrece ideas críticas sobre las formas emergentes de autoridad algorítmica, la gobernanza práctica de sistemas autónomos y descentralizados, y las posibles fallas en el diseño de incentivos y la modelización de acciones. El artículo también profundiza en el problema de agencia en economía y la gobernanza corporativa, ilustrando cómo estos conceptos se entrelazan con la gobernanza algorítmica.
Projekt budowy zbiornika wodnego (małej retencji) w Szadkowicach-Ogrodzimiu (1980)
Authors: Stulczewski Jarosław
Published: November 2023

Władze Szadku w 1980 r. planowały w miejscowości Szadkowice- -Ogrodzim wybudować sztuczny zbiornik wodny na potrzeby rekreacji i wypoczynku swoich mieszkańców. Projektowana powierzchnia jeziora o kształcie trójkąta wynosiła 1,81 ha. Zbiornik małej retencji miał być zasilany w wodę pochodzącą z rzeki Szadkówki (Pichny z Szadkowic). Do inwestycji jednak nie doszło.
„Nie jest to życie, które oni rozumieją, w ich mniemaniu moje życie jest bardzo niestabilne”. Młodzi dorośli o stabilności zawodowej własnej i swoich rodziców
Authors: Winogrodzka Dominika
Published: November 2023

W 1989 roku Polska znalazła się na drodze systemowych przemian polegających na wdrażaniu postfordowskiego, neoliberalnego kapitalizmu, który swym oddziaływaniem objął przede wszystkim świat pracy, czyniąc „elastyczność” kluczowym pojęciem opisującym zmiany w życiu zawodowym, głównie ludzi młodych. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na znajdującą się na przeciwległym biegunie, pomijaną, choć równie ważną kategorię „stabilności” poprzez odpowiedź na pytania: „W jaki sposób (i dlaczego) młodzi dorośli postrzegają stabilność na rynku pracy?” oraz „Jakie podobieństwa, a jakie różnice dostrzegają młodzi ludzie w postrzeganiu stabilności zawodowej przez siebie i swoich rodziców?”. Analizy indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych wykazały, że w zależności od dotychczasowych doświadczeń zawodowych młodzi dorośli dążą do osiągnięcia stabilności, definiując oraz redefiniując jej znaczenie, lub odrzucają stabilność, kwestionując oraz negując jej istnienie. Zarówno dychotomiczne podejście do stabilności zawodowej, jak i wielowymiarowość jej portretowania odróżnia młodych dorosłych od ich rodziców, których postrzeganie stabilności, na podstawie rozmów z ich dorosłymi dziećmi, wydaje się zdecydowanie bardziej jednowymiarowe i homogeniczne.
Doświadczenie pandemii COVID-19 z perspektywy koncepcji biegu życia
Authors: Karkowska Marta , Bojar Hanna
Published: November 2023

W artykule poruszono kwestie dotyczące wieloaspektowości skutków pandemii COVID-19 obserwowanych w Polsce, rozpatrywanych w perspektywie koncepcji biegu życia. Celem analiz było przede wszystkim uchwycenie różnorodności doświadczenia pandemii, a zwłaszcza jej wpływu na losy, dążenia, a także postawy osób będących w różnych fazach życia: młodych dorosłych, którzy osiągnęli już samodzielność, rodziców mieszkających ze swoimi dziećmi oraz seniorów. W tym świetle kluczowe było ustalenie, w jaki sposób okres pandemii COVID-19 w Polsce, przypadający na lata 2020–2022, powszechne zagrożenie związane z nową chorobą, ale też samo podjęcie szeroko rozumianych indywidualnych i zbiorowych działań mających na celu ochronę przed zakażeniem, wywarły wpływ na podejmowane przez ludzi decyzje, postrzeganie własnej sytuacji (ale też sytuacji innych), dokonywane wybory i sposób reagowania na otaczającą rzeczywistość. Kluczowe w tym kontekście są podobieństwa i różnice reakcji osób znajdujących się na różnych etapach życia na otaczającą ich rzeczywistość. Podstawą empiryczną zaprezentowanych analiz i wniosków stały się dane i materiały zgromadzone głównie w ramach realizacji projektu pt. „Społeczne skutki pandemii. Wybrane kategorie społeczno-demograficzne w perspektywie stylów życia – badanie podłużne”, przeprowadzonego w 2022 r. przez badaczy z IFiS PAN. Wywiady przeprowadzone w 2022 r. były ostatnim powrotem do tych samych rozmówców, z którymi rozmawiano w 2020 i 2021 roku.
Znaczenie gospodarcze i kulturowe łowiectwa w nawiązaniu do zapisów Bulli gnieźnieńskiej dotyczących grodu Spycimierz
Authors: Moszczyński Mateusz Władysław
Published: November 2023

Łowiectwo jako czynnik gospodarczy powstającego państwa polskiego znacząco wpłynęło na rozwój kultury. Przeanalizowanie tej dość rozległej dziedziny życia codziennego jest niezbędne dla zrozumienia funkcjonowania średniowiecznego społeczeństwa. Wartość dziko żyjącej zwierzyny i pozyskanych z niej dóbr na stałe zapisała się na kartach historii i powstającej tradycji łowieckiej, która do dziś jest kultywowana.
Empowering Community: Theatre of the Oppressed as a Tool of Homeless People’s Emancipation
Authors: Černá Eliška , Polánková Lenka
Published: November 2023

In the chapter we describe a process and outcomes of a research project which aimed to find out knowledge about “social housing” for those who are poor, and how we can co-produce, within what action strategies, such knowledge. We take pedagogy of the oppressed as a theoretical grounding. Emancipatory action research is chosen as a research design, specifically theatre of the oppressed: a participatory methodology that can be used for knowledge co-production. In the chapter, we introduce screenplay of theatrical performance Having Home Means Being Housed!. Further, we present business with poverty in flats as a central theme. Specific action strategies were co-developed while performing the play. Key common issues identified within them are decisions not to give up, building solidarity and making the problem public. In the final part of the chapter we discuss the use of theatre of the oppressed as a tool of empowering marginalised communities.
Dilemmas in Participatory Approaches to Social Work
Authors: Gojová Alice , Glumbíková Kateřina
Published: November 2023

Both the community work and the participatory research can be understood as approaches used in social work that increase participants’ capacity to improve their lives and facilitate social change for the benefit of disadvantaged groups. In participatory approaches, dilemmas can arise, which are defined as a situation where a social worker faces two mutually exclusive choices, which he/she has to choose from. We also perceive dilemmas in both approaches as emerging in the interaction with the systems of values. The paper presents the findings from two research projects whose objectives included the identification of dilemmas from two areas, namely from community work and from a participatory approach to homeless mothers. The dilemmas are divided into two categories; from the perspectives of community workers and from a researcher’s point of view. To interpret data we used the theory of empowerment and the typology of power by the authors John French and Bertram Raven (1960). As part of the discussion, the paper provides an overview of dilemmas in participatory approaches to social work research, on the example of the above-mentioned projects.
