Peculiar Leap in the Protection of Asylum Seekers: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights' Jurisprudence on the Protection of Asylum Seekers
Authors: Fangary Esraa Adnan
Published: June 2021

This article pursues to clarify the crucial contribution of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to protect the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. It debates that the Court has instituted its renewed jurisprudence in the sphere of refuge throughout its case-law and advisory opinionsassociated with the safeguard of refugees, specifically the Court's direction towards affirming on the extended principles affiliating to asylum. The Inter-American Court went further than its European counterpart in interpreting regional and international asylum law. However, the actual protection of asylum seekers promoted by the Court is established on some controversial concepts like jus cogens norms and obligations egra omnes. Furthermore, the Court has an unclear vision concerning asylum and refuge. This may, therefore, curb the impact of a stronger humanrights-based approach to the protection of asylum seekers in Latin America.
Economic effects of African swine fever at Hungarian and European level
Authors: Marczin Tamás
Published: June 2021

Examining the pig sector in Europe, it can be said that the emergence of African swine fever (ASF) has a major impact on the sector. In connection with this, the aim of this article was to highlight the trends of the Hungarian pig sector, as well as the sales prices of Germany for a more accurate analysis, to give a comprehensive picture of how the Hungarian market trends developed with the appearance of ASF.

For this, a three-year cycle was analyzed using different timeline analysis methods. After evaluating this, it was confirmed that compared to the period before the outbreak of the epidemic in Hungary, market fluctuations increased, and in the trends of weekly sales prices per kilogram, the predictability decreased.

Based on this, it can be concluded that in such a globalized and price-tracking sector, it is a serious lesson for Hungary that due to its small size and low degree of integration, it is much more disadvantaged during crisis situations than other larger pig-keeping countries. All participants in the sector need to learn from this situation and, together with the policy, change the situation in Hungary as soon as possible, by raising the vertical integration of the sector.

Domestic Furniture at the Catalan Textile Colonies. Case of Study: Borgonyà or “The Colony of English People"
Authors: Salamó Barrientos Nuria
Published: June 2021

The present study is an analysis of the domestic furniture of the workers of the Industrial Colonies in Catalonia, taking like an example the specific case of the Colony of Borgonyà.

The choice of Borgonyà is not a coincidence, the Colony is especially interesting because his peculiar cultural contrast, combining the Scottish heritage in the construction of the houses with the local tradition in furniture. Also, most of the current population of the Colony were workers of the factory, so thanks to their personal testimonies and family pictures, we can make an accuracy reconstruction of the history of the worker’s domestic interiors.

Throughout the study, we will identify different qualities and furniture’s typologies related with the different status of the workers. We will recognize rural traditional furniture pieces at the ordinary worker’s houses in contrast of contemporary furniture at the keeper’s houses, with the quality of a middle-class bourgeois family.
Study on the failure of guide ropes used in mines
Authors: Singh M K , Mallick M , Verma M K
Published: June 2021

The skips/cages in mine hoisting have to be guided to achieve high hoisting rates. Steel guide ropes are used in hoisting because they can safely guide the skips/cages and have been observed to be economical. Guide ropes are static in nature and are thus more prone to corrosion. An
investigation into the causes of failure of a guide rope is discussed in this paper. The study consists of physical examination, examination of wear and corrosion, macro- and micro-examination, examination of the breaking load and individual tensile strength measurement of the rod. The main
cause of failure is found to be corrosion. Heavy abrasion and corrosion together causes a substantial reduction in diameter of more than 60%. Corrosion raises the stress level and thereby weakens the grains, which is indicated by the cracks that have developed all along the grains as revealed
through micro-examination. This affects the breaking strength and reveals a 37% loss of strength, as a result of which failure occurs.
Centrifuge Studies of Topographic Effects: Dynamic Response Mechanisms
Authors: Dafni Jacob , Wartman Joseph
Published: June 2021

This article presents analyses of select experiments from a comprehensive geotechnical centrifuge program to investigate topographic effects in single-sided slopes. A unique benefit of centrifuge modeling is that it provides high-resolution measurements of a thoroughly characterized “site” while fully preserving physical processes. The analyses were performed in the time and time–frequency domains to investigate mechanisms that produced the topographic effects. The results indicate that resonance at the slope’s topographic frequency is the principal driver of topographic effects. Site and topographic effects may combine at a slope crest to produce high levels of overall amplification. When topographic amplification occurs, the topographic zone of influence will vary depending on the ground-motion wavelength and the influence of phasing when multiple frequency components are present in the ground motion. Ground-motion complexities such as phase differences in response between a slope and the adjacent free field may serve to either amplify or de-amplify earthquake ground motion near a slope.
Confluencias políticas en el Trienio Liberal: el proceso de la Revolución portuguesa de 1820 y el modelo constitucional gaditano
Authors: Cristina Araujo Ana
Published: June 2021

Este artículo analiza los factores convergentes del proceso político peninsular, desde la ocupación e invasión napoleónica del territorio portugués hasta la Revolución de 1820. Tres ejes estructuran la comprensión de este periodo: la situación de las dos monarquías ibéricas en el transcurso de la guerra, así como el dilema constitucional suscitado por la ausencia de la realeza brigantina y la acefalia de la corona borbónica; las intenciones propagandísticas y los contactos entre agentes políticos portugueses y españoles, antes y durante el Trienio Liberal, y la similitud de procedimientos y modelos constitucionales ibéricos, considerando el contexto particular del Reino Unido de Portugal, Brasil y Algarves. Desde un punto de vista transnacional, los cambios en Portugal y España se analizan utilizando diferentes fuentes: textos diplomáticos, prensa periódica, relaciones de sociedades patrióticas ibéricas y, por supuesto, las Constituciones de 1812 y 1822.

My “Littlefight” with Mierosławski
Authors: Rzepczyński Sławomir
Published: June 2021

This article discusses the relations between Cyprian Norwid and General Ludwik Mierosławski, participant in national uprisings, leader of the January Uprising, and an activist in exile, presenting their personal contacts and Norwid’s opinions voiced in literary works, letters and journalism. These opinions encompass his support for democratic ideas proclaimed by the general and critical statements. While appreciating Mierosławski as a militarist and a man of action capable of implementing policies intended to transform the mindset of the Polish public to facilitate building a modern state, the poet expected that his activity would be subordinated to a superior idea, which, owing to its Christian foundations, would indicate the path to independence. He demanded that Mierosławski recognize the primacy of thought over action, that journalism be used to influence the public opinion, both in Poland and around Europe, and that measures be developed to dismantle political barriers existing within the émigré community.
Progress and Critical Thought in Norwid’s and Peter Lavrov’s Work
Authors: van Nieukerken Arent
Published: June 2021

The Polish romantic poet Cyprian Norwid and the Russian philosopher and sociologist Peter Lavrov met while living as exiles in Paris during the 1870s. They respected each other, although their worldviews could not be reconciled at first sight (though both were discontent with the political status quo). Lavrov was an atheist and considered religion to be a “reactionary” force in the age of scientific progress, slowing down further emancipation of the individual (though it once played a positive role). Norwid – on the other hand – thought that progress without roots in Christian religion would restrict the idea of humanity and reduce it to physiological determinism. This article examines the debate between the Polish Catholic and the Russian atheist in the context of their period, focusing on the negative consequences of a narrowly scientistic attitude (which was, as a matter of fact, rejected by Lavrov), e.g. the relation between contemporary anthropological research and racial theories.
Unidades léxicas tabus nos dicionários on-line Michaelis, Aulete e Priberam
Authors: Orsi Vivian
Published: June 2021

O léxico de uma língua permite que nele se entreveja o modo como a comunidade percebe o mundo que a circunda, em seus diferentes aspectos. Dentro de cada item lexical são postas e expostas todas as informações. Assim, por meio do seu estudo podemos ter uma ideia de preconcepções e tabus que permeiam a sociedade. Neste artigo procuramos compreender as unidades tabus e sua importância na língua, elegendo como objeto de estudo a definição e a aposição de marcas de uso a alguns itens lexicais que têm uma ou mais acepções consideradas ofensivas, e por isso tabus, dentro de alguns verbetes, nos dicionários disponíveis on-line Aulete, Michaelis e Priberam. Tendo como respaldo as teorias das duas grandes ciências em que se enquadra esta pesquisa, Lexicologia e Lexicografia, com alicerce em Béjoint (2000), Borba (2003), Bugueño Miranda e Borba (2019), Henriques (2011) e Welker (2004), esperamos colaborar para a discussão sobre a temática das rubricas em obras de consulta e a pouca atenção que recebem de lexicógrafos.

Authors: Santos Ronaldo Antonio dos , Fraga Júnior Eusímio Felisbino , Andaló Vanessa , Silva Daniel Martins da
Published: June 2021

A desinfestação do substrato torna-se obrigatória na produção de mudas sadias e com vigor. No entanto, o tratamento convencional com agroquímicos pode ser insatisfatório, devido aos custos e aos riscos de vácuo biológico e intoxicação. Para minimizar essas limitações, a solarização surge como uma técnica potencialmente viável. Por conseguinte, esse trabalho avaliou a conversão energética de um coletor solar e a sua capacidade de desinfestação de substrato com grilo (Gryllus assimilis (Fabr. 1775)). O equipamento foi construído com uma caixa de madeirite, com seis tubos de aço galvanizado em seu interior. A face da caixa voltada para o Sol possuía vidro transparente, que permitia a entrada de radiação solar de ondas curtas e restringia a saída de massas de ar quente. Empregou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamento de exposição à radiação solar, cada um com cinco repetições. Durante o experimento, constatou-se que a temperatura máxima do substrato foi de 70,4°C, com uma amplitude térmica máxima de 38,6°C, entre o interior e exterior do equipamento. A variação térmica, por unidade de radiação solar incidente atingiu valor máximo de 1,61°C.W-1.m-2. O extermínio mais rápido dos insetos ocorreu com duas horas de exposição à radiação solar. As temperaturas do substrato no interior do coletor solar e da testemunha, foram em média de 60,4 e 25,0 ºC, respectivamente.
Implementing a ‘pedagogy of interruption’: worth the risk
Authors: James Aleya
Published: June 2021

This paper explores the work of the educational theorist Gert Biesta in a setting outside of the context where it was originally developed. It aims to address how Biesta’s approach can help educators and policy makers question the philosophical underpinnings of education in the UAE and thereby start a conversation that is currently absent in this context. The paper comprises three elements: first, an overview of Biesta’s educational theory is given with a focus on ‘subjectification’ and his self-titled “pedagogy of interruption”. Secondly and in brief, I use Biesta’s framework of educational dimensions to analyse the philosophy underlying education in the United Arab Emirates using published government documents and media sources. Thirdly, I report a small-scale qualitative analysis of a specific educational space, three General Studies Courses in a UAE tertiary institution, to investigate the ‘risky’ possibilities involved in implementing a pedagogy of interruption. I find that despite a dominant policy discourse that discounts subjectification, there are significant opportunities for students to develop a strong sense of self. These opportunities are created by a small but strongly motivated group of teachers and taken up, on the whole enthusiastically, by students. However, my assertions are limited by a number of challenges which warrant further research. This paper hopes to provide a meaningful contribution to the limited discussion regarding the aims and expectations of education in the Middle East, and finds a pertinent philosophical grounding for liberal studies teaching in a tertiary context. As such the paper will be of value both to policy and decision makers in the Middle East and to teachers and trainers who teach in multi-cultural and international contexts.
Modyfikacja znormalizowanej metody prowadzenia prób ciśnieniowych celem jej wykorzystania do badania szczelności gazociągów z poliamidu PA 12

Published: June 2021

Before being put into operation, gas pipelines are subjected to leakage and strength pressure testing. In the case of plastic gas pipelines, a combined leakage and strength test is performed at a pressure of 1.5 ´ MOP. In Poland, in accordance with the applicable regulations, the plastic material from which gas pipelines can now be built is polyethylene. In other countries gas pipelines are also built of another material, which is PA12 polyamide. Piping systems made of this material are used to transmit gas at a pressure of 1.6 MPa. Both polyethylene and polyamide gas pipelines, after loading them with internal pressure, will undergo deformation with time, which is called the material creep phenomenon. As a result, in pressure leakage tests of gas pipelines made of thermoplastics, such as polyethylene and polyamide, it is necessary to take this phenomenon into account. Due to the different properties of polyethylene and polyamide, the amount of deformation per unit time will be different, and therefore the test procedures that are used for polyethylene gas pipelines cannot be directly used for testing polyamide gas pipelines. An example of such a procedure is the one described in point A.27 of PN-EN 805: 2002. It is mainly used for leakage testing of polyethylene water pipelines and its application for leakage testing of PA12 polyamide gas pipelines with a MOP of 1.6 MPa requires changes in the test conditions. The article presents the concept of modifying the parameters of the hydrostatic method, taking into account the different properties of PA12 pipes compared to polyethylene pipes. Particular attention was paid to the higher value of Young's modulus and the related ring stiffness of PA12 polyamide pipes compared to polyethylene pipes. In order to obtain the appropriate deformation of the pipe resulting from the material creep, the time of holding the sample under pressure was experimentally extended before starting the actual test. After establishing the required test conditions for the sealed system, tests with simulated leaks were carried out. The obtained results of tests on airtight samples and with simulated leakage confirmed the possibility of using the modified method to test the tightness of PA 12 polyamide gas pipelines with a MOP of 1.6 MPa.
Clock synchronization in distributed multicomputer systems. Part II
Authors: Asharina I.V.
Published: June 2021

The study substantiates the necessity of clock synchronization in distributed multicomputer systems. The basic definitions related to the concept of clock synchronization are given, and methods of clock synchronization are classified. Increasing the lifecycle of failure- and fault-tolerant distributed multicomputer systems for critical application is one of the most urgent problems at the current level of technology development. This is especially true for unattended distributed multicomputer systems for space applications.
The second part deals with synchronization in systems with Byzantine faults, and this is a complex task due to the characteristic features of the fault model. The synchronization process in multi-cluster and multi-complex systems is associated with the multitasking of such systems, which makes the synchronization process even more relevant and multi-criteria. The paper considers the modern technologies providing the synchronization process in systems of critical use.

Published: June 2021

The main aim of the research is to identify the potential of location-based gamification apps for promoting tourist destinations. The specific goal is to investigate and evaluate the existing gamified apps for Sofia and reveal their potential as a marketing tool for enhancing the capital as a tourist destination. The study is based on a literature review on the topic and desk research of the available location-based gamification apps for promoting Sofia as a tourist destination thus allowing a comparative analysis of the main attributes of the gamified apps to be made. The qualitative research technique of using key informants is also applied, providing an expert source of information and a deeper insight into current and potential practices in the research area and their effectiveness. The results indicate that this has the greatest potential for further engagement of users and the co-creation of products and services as well as for raising awareness of the destination. The main limitations are related to the fact that they are a relatively new and little-known marketing tool in the field of tourism, and this predetermines a lack of sufficient knowledge and experience for their use for promotional purposes.
Conflict – Crisis Hierarchy in English News Discourse: Cognitive Rhetorical Perspective
Authors: Potapenko Serhiy I. , Shcherbak Olena M.
Published: June 2021

The paper argues that in English on-line news the meanings of the conflict and crisis terms serve as reference points for the construction of a confrontation hierarchy. It is based on the interaction of the relations of force, serving as primes for meaning formation, with three levels of discourse prominence meant to attract, focus and keep the addressee’s attention in headings, headlines and throughout the text respectively. It is found that news stories arrange the units of conflict – crisis hierarchy according to three patterns: zoom-in, offering a detailed textual representation of confrontation with support of the argumentation sections of evidence, explanation or commentary; zoom-out, generalizing on the forces, underlying confrontation construction; multiperspectivation, aimed at a multifaceted representation of conflict – crisis hierarchy.
Mechanical Wounding Induces Catalase Gene (VsCat) in Leaves of Common Vetch
Authors: Abu-Romman Saeid , Ammari Tarek G.
Published: June 2021

Background: In plants, wounding can result from mechanical injuries or from biotic factors induced by herbivores infestation and pathogen infection. Wounding enhances the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Enzymatic and nonenzymatic defense systems have been reported in plants to immediately combat increased levels of ROS. Plant catalases are encoded by a multigene family and are the major scavenging enzymes catalyzing the dismutation of toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and dioxygen. Methods: In the preasent work, a quantitative real-time PCR was used to quantify the expression level of a catalase gene from common vetch (Vicia sativa; VsCat) in response to mechanical wounding. Result: The results of the time course study showed that the transcript levels of VsCat were significantly increased in wounded leaves at all-time points examined with a peak expression of 7.6 folds at 2 h post wounding. The increased expression of VsCat might represent a direct defense against elevated H2O2 generated during wounding.

La posibilidad de que las instituciones educativas de todo nivel se orienten a buscar consolidar mecanismos de inclusión es el ideal de la equidad en educación. Por ello el presente trabajo se optó por el diseño descriptivo no experimental, orientado al análisis comparativo de la percepción del proceso de inclusión en dos instituciones educativas del nivel básico en dos distritos de Lima Norte. La muestra estuvo conformada por 120 docentes del nivel de educación primario, a los cuales se les aplicó el cuestionario adaptado de indicadores de Inclusión - Bristol (2019), conformado por tres dimensiones: Creando culturas inclusivas, con 13 ítems, Realizando políticas inclusivas, con 11 ítems y Desarrollando prácticas inclusivas con 16 ítems; el cual fue validado por juicio de expertos. Los resultados indicaron que existieron diferencias significativas en el nivel de percepción del proceso de inclusión entre los docentes de ambas locaciones, así como variaciones en la percepción de las dimensiones planteadas. Se concluyó que la existencia de diferencias en la percepción de inclusión de los docentes de los dos distritos se ha debido a las posturas de los docentes frente a la política institucional y su percepción del proceso de inclusión.
Study and comparison of image developments in Persian poetry (from classical to contemporary)
Authors: Shah Badizadeh Mohammad , Mehraban Javad , Kabari Ghotbi Leila
Published: June 2021

In any literary style or period, there are always common factors and contexts between poets and writers that make up the color and public space of that period. One of these contexts are elements and themes that are used in poetic images; Elements such as nature, ordinary and peripheral elements, literary subtleties in image making, etc. are the themes that can lead us to obvious differences between the illustrations of each period in each period and can finally be a basis for evaluation. The artistic and imaginative values and features of each period become and lead us to the important point that the image is a representation of sensory effect in language. This sensory effect also includes: the poet's thoughts, feelings and sensory experiences. The importance of illustration and illustration is such that, in the opinion of many, any change in the illustration of the world also leads to a change in the mechanism of the world. What constitutes the basis of the present research is the study and study of the illustration processes of old and new Persian poetry in two ways, method and subject of the image. The results of the present study show that although the overall image structure of Persian poetry from ancient times to modern times has been based on one principle, but the subject of these images is different in two periods so that the image in ancient poetry is based on "nature and imagination". While the basis of the image in contemporary poetry is "man and society".

Systematic risk and performance of stock market in Kenya
Authors: Mwenda Mutwiri Nathan , Omagwa Job , Wamugo Lucy
Published: June 2021

Stock prices in Kenya have been experiencing drastic volatility over the years. In the year 2015 alone, the value of the listed companies shrunk by about 2.5 billion USD, representing about 25% of the national government annual budget. The performance of the stock market is an important proxy of a country’s economic environment. Rational investors constantly value and revise their portfolio composition so as to maximize their wealth. Whereas effectively diversified portfolio minimizes the unsystematic risk, systematic risks cannot be managed by simple diversification. Investors, therefore, need to understand the effect of these systematic risks on the stock performance. The study sought to determine the relationship between systematic risk factors using Inflation and interest rates and the performance of the stock market in Kenya. The study adopted a positivist philosophy and employed a correlation research design. The study targeted all the stock listed in the Nairobi Securities exchange. The study was underpinned by the Efficient Market Hypothesis, Arbitrage Pricing theory, and used integration analysis to establish the relationships between the variables of the study. The study found a significant long-run positive relationship between interest rate, inflation, and performance of the stock market in Kenya. Investment firms, the financial analyst should use past data on 91 Treasury bills rate and Inflation, to predict the future performance of stock exchange for the benefit of investors.

Published: June 2021

The covid-19 crisis is global but its socio-economic effects cannot be globally scrutinized. It is deeply local and huge. The research aimed at finding out and assessing community perceptions about Covid-19 and its socio-economic effects in Rwanda. It would inspire policymakers to renovate measures and policies that would help in rehabilitating all sectors in general and more affected groups in particular. From 30 districts of Rwanda, 510 respondents have been sampled through convenience and judgmental techniques. Findings revealed that people misinterpret the pandemic which lowers their level of compliance to Covid-19 preventive measures. Stay home orders were not a fruitful time for families whereby 84% of respondents were victims of domestic and sexual violence. However, with 16%, it was a good time for family cohesion. Isolation and social values frustration, family disorganization and dysfunctional, depression, and anxiety are major social effects of Covid-19.  Loss of jobs, decreased salaries, none compliance with preventive measures fines, incapacity to pay bank loans, inability to satisfy family basic needs, government extra investment in medical health care have enormously affected the Rwandan economy. Thus, there is a need of strengthening sensitization of covid-19 spread, preventive measures, short and long-term consequences associated with it. This would shift the population from their wrong perceptions of covid-19 and increase the rate of compliance to established measures so as to free Rwanda from the pandemic and return to a normal life situation.

The introductory part describes the importance of tourism for Croatia's economy and stresses tire need for scientifically proper statistical coverage of tourist trends. What is of vital importance for statistical research is the application of uniform statistical standards allowing comparison of data at international level. The second part of the work deals with basic international statistical standards (classifications, definitions, methods) used in statistical research within Eurostat and WTO methodology. The third part gives an account of current statistical studies performed by the National Bureau of Statistics in the area of tourist trade, viz.: - Monthly report on guests and bed-nights, TU-11 - Report on guests and bed-nights in private houses and fiats, TU-11 v - Annual report on the capacity and turnover of marinas, TU-18 (revised research in 1997) - Annual report on chartered vessels for entertainment and sport, TU-18ip (pilot study in 1997) - Quarterly report on hotel, restaurant and catering trade, UG-11 - Annual report on private caterers, UG-1 la - Annual report on tourist agencies, TU-14 - Annual report on visiting foreign vessels for entertainment and sport, TU-17 - Survey on foreign tourists - Monthly report on the entry and exit of road motorcars, PAM-31 - International passenger trends in oad traffic, PAM-52 (over years) For a comprehensive presentation of tourist trends in all relevant aspects it is necessary to introduce new statistical research which will provide required indicators about the structure, content and extent of tourist trade (list of catering capacities, sight-seers, survey on foreign excursionists, survey on vacationers, survey on household consumption concerning domestic guests, etc.).
Tourism statistics in the European union - new challenges and demands on the official tourism statistics in Austria
Authors: Laimer Peter
Published: June 2021

Important information concerning Austrian tourism are based on accommodation and overnight stay statistics. Therefore the Commission of the European Union in collaboration with the EU and EFTA has prepared a project of a council Directive in order to develop a harmonized system for tourism statistics and a related information system at the European level. Concerning the implementation of the requirements of EU-Directive on Tourism Statistics, the Austrian official tourism statistics is confronted with some problems which are found more on the organisational level than on the methodological one. This especially concerns the increased periodicity regarding tourism demand surveys.

Authors: Paci Enzo
Published: June 2021

The activities of WTO are focused on promoting a creative approach by National Tourism Administrations, Statistical Offices and local authorities to encourage countries to collect more reliable and more complete tourism statistics in line with WTO definitions, so as to improve their international comparability. WTO also emphasizes the need to speed up the production and publication of these statistics at country level in order to provide the means of identifying tourism trends by month and fine-tuning promotion and marketing policies. Computerization and the successful effort to develop standard definitions and classifications for tourism have given renewed force to WTO's work in statistics. WTO has expanded activities with Member States to implement the WTO Recommendations on Tourism Statistics, adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in 1993, through manuals, seminars and an ambitious statistical development programme to assess the economic importance of tourism. The programme includes the holding of a World Conference on the measurement of the economic impact o tourism in Nice (France) towards the end of May/beginning of June 1999. The objective of the Conference is to develop a core of indicators for the assessment of the net economic impact of tourism at both national and international level, thereby enhancing the credibility of the tourism industry.

DAS ORGANISATIONSPROBLEM DES DESTINATION MANAGEMENT
Authors: Luft Hartmut
Published: June 2021

Destination Management bedeutet ein konzertierter Aktionsvollzug von "unten nach oben". Verschiedene Organisationsträger haben in der Vergangenheit den Fehler begatten, ihre touristische Destination auf einen zu großen geographischen Raum ausgedehnt zu haben. Zum anderen hat es sich als verfehlt erwiesen, bezogen auf diesen Großraum, das operative Geschäft von zentral operierenden Vermarktungsträgern führen zu lassen. Es word eine Tourismusorganisation vorgestellt, die der gesamten Marketing-Wirkungskette in funktionsgerecter Abstimmung zwischen den örtlichen und überörtlichen Organisationsträgern Rechung trägt und eine Region zu einer Angebotseinheit zusammenführt. Angebotsmanagement und Vertrieb sind zum Primat im Marketingvollzug erhoben worden.

Objectives. To estimate excess all-cause mortality in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the COVID-19 pandemic and understand the distribution of excess mortality in the population.

Methods. With a Poisson model trained on recent historical data from the Pennsylvania vital registration system, we estimated expected weekly mortality in 2020. We compared these estimates with observed mortality to estimate excess mortality. We further examined the distribution of excess mortality by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Results. There were an estimated 3550 excess deaths between March 22, 2020, and January 2, 2021, a 32% increase above expectations. Only 77% of excess deaths (n = 2725) were attributed to COVID-19 on the death certificate. Excess mortality was disproportionately high among older adults and people of color. Sex differences varied by race/ethnicity.

Conclusions. Excess deaths during the pandemic were not fully explained by COVID-19 mortality; official counts significantly undercount the true death toll. Far from being a great equalizer, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated preexisting disparities in mortality by race/ethnicity.

Public Health Implications. Mortality data must be disaggregated by age, sex, and race/ethnicity to accurately understand disparities among groups.
Medial Clavicle Fracture Fixation Including the Sternum
Authors: Schultz Matthew J , Barcak Eric A
Published: June 2021

Case:

A 29-year-old man presented with a displaced medial clavicle fracture. Surgical repair was performed using a precontoured plate designed for the contralateral distal clavicle, and medial fixation was accomplished at the sternum. The patient had no complications and demonstrated full strength and range of motion at the 8-month follow-up.

Conclusion:

Medial clavicle fractures with a small medial fragment can be immobilized using a plate designed for the contralateral distal clavicle that crosses the sternoclavicular joint to obtain medial fixation in the sternum. This technique may provide a viable treatment modality for this unique fracture pattern.

Case:

A 58-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on disease modifying antirheumatic drug therapy presented with chronic right shoulder pain. Magnetic resonance imaging was concerning for rice body disease which was confirmed through histology after intraoperative deltoid bursa resection.

Conclusions:

Rice bodies can develop regardless of RA symptom severity or the degree of RA medical therapy administered. Therefore, physicians should not disregard rice bodies as a possible cause of symptoms in individuals on appropriate RA medical therapy or who are demonstrating adequate RA symptom and flair control.

Case:

We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman, a yoga instructor, who had pain in the right shoulder and scapular region of 4 months' duration while performing yoga. Radiography and computed tomography diagnosed delayed union of a first rib stress fracture. The delayed union of stress fracture of the first rib was successfully treated with the limiting of yoga activity and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS).

Conclusions:

Physicians should be aware that even yoga posing can cause stress fractures of the first rib. LIPUS therapy may be effective for delayed union in addition to rest.
