INTERAÇÃO ENTRE IL-1Α E TGF-Β1 NA CICATRIZAÇÃO NORMAL E HIPERTRÓFICA
Authors: Souza Izadora , Souza Sérgio , Pereira Jádson Moreira
Published: September 2023

Resumo: A cicatrização é um processo complexo, estritamente regulado celular e molecularmente. A menor perturbação desse processo pode levar à formação de cicatrizes hipertróficas (Hscars), uma condição patológica de natureza fibrótica. Hscars são caracterizadas por sua aparência avermelhada devido à formação/manutenção de uma extensa rede de vasos sanguíneos (neoangiogênese). No entanto, a característica mais marcante das Hscars é a deposição excessiva de colágeno, sustentada por miofibroblastos que permanecem na área apesar da cicatrização da superfície lesada. Muitas biomoléculas estão envolvidas nesse processo, à exemplo do TGF-β1 e da IL-1α, moléculas com atividade pró-fibrótica e inflamatória, respectivamente. Uma vez estabelecidas, as Hscars podem apenas cicatrizar parcialmente ao longo do tempo, resultando na formação de cordões fibrosos ou contraturas que podem comprometer a função do órgão em sua totalidade, ou apenas parcialmente. Até o momento, não existe um tratamento eficaz contra a formação de Hscars. As ferramentas terapêuticas disponíveis restringem-se ao uso de pomadas, tratamentos à laser, ou o uso de roupas compressivas. Em casos extremos de contraturas incapacitantes, a excisão cirúrgica é a abordagem recomendada. Tratamentos não invasivos (pomadas, compressão local etc.) ocasionam o aumento na expressão de IL-1α no sítio da lesão. O objetivo deste trabalho de revisão é caracterizar a ação individual de cada citocina e suas ações concomitantes quando atuam no mesmo espaço temporal, em um contexto de cicatrização.

Authors: Oliveira Julia Palmieri de , Moura Julia Buquera de , Sprung Luiza Sviesk
Published: September 2023

Resumo: OBJETIVO: A disparidade de raça toca diversas esferas da sociedade, como a Medicina, fazendo-se necessário estudos sobre a dor do parto. O objetivo desta revisão foi entender as disparidades na indicação da anestesia no parto de mulheres negras comparado às mulheres brancas. MÉTODOS: Foi feita uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados PubMed e BVS, de 1 de março de 2022 a 1 de março de 2023, com os termos "anesthesia" AND "delivery" AND "racial" AND "disparities". Não foram usados filtros de data de publicação, entretanto foram selecionados artigos em português, inglês e espanhol. Duas revisoras fizeram o rastreamento de artigos e, quando houve desacordo, uma terceira fez a análise usando os critérios de exclusão e inclusão. RESULTADOS: Foram identificados 59 artigos e, após eliminar os duplicados, 38 tiveram seus títulos e/ou resumos analisados. Destes, 22 foram excluídos pelos critérios de inclusão e 16 foram selecionados para exame completo, sendo 5 eliminados pelos critérios de exclusão. Por fim, 11 artigos foram selecionados para análise qualitativa. Os principais temas abordados foram: Comportamentos enviesados; crença de que mulheres negras sentem menos dor; baixa diversidade racial dos profissionais de saúde; Desconfiança no sistema de saúde e em aceitar anestesia; Divergências socioeconômicas e culturais; e Falta de informação e compreensão dos benefícios e dos riscos da anestesia. CONCLUSÃO: Constatou que há discrepância acerca do uso de anestesia em mulheres negras no parto. Tal fato mostra a importância do estudo dos fatores envolvendo essas mulheres e sua história na sociedade, reduzindo os danos causados a elas.

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2017
Authors: Orr Michael , Leach Jon , Koerbel Amy
Published: September 2023

The annual Summer Pavilion programme at the Serpentine Gallery in London is unique. It presents the work of an international architect, or design team, who has not completed a building in England at the time of the Gallery's invitation. The design and construction of each pavilion must be completed within six months and it remains situated on the Gallery's lawn throughout the summer for the public to explore and enjoy, before being demounted and relocated to a permanent site. The commission for the 2017 pavilion was accepted by Berlin-based Burkinabe, Francis Kéré and his practice. For the fifth year, AECOM provided technical design services including structural and civil engineering, fire engineering, specialist lighting and electrical design. The project was successfully completed on time and within budget, opening to the public in June 2017. This article describes the technical and engineering challenges of delivering Francis Kéré's vision of a floating steel-and-timber tree-like canopy over the sinuous timber walls that define the spaces inside the pavilion. Those spaces provided a temporary home to a wide range of community-based activities, ranging from cookery classes led by asylum seekers to 'Build your own pavilion' workshops, opening up the world of engineering and design to future generations. A fusion of traditional design methods combined with the very latest digital modelling technologies was used in the delivery of the pavilion. This included pioneering examples of combining augmented and virtual reality throughout the whole design and construction process, which enabled the intricate details of the pavilion to be quickly communicated and fully resolved before fabrication and construction commenced.

THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF TEACHERS IN INCREASING STUDENT MOTIVATION POST COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Sulaiman Baso , Kuddus Muhammad , Pasolang Yoseph
Published: September 2023

This research aims to know and explain the importance of the role of teachers in increasing student motivation in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. This is done to see the extent of the teacher's role in providing support and guidance to students after the transition period of online learning methods to learning methods like before, namely face-to-face. This study used qualitative research with data collection methods through observation and interviews with teachers in 13 high school / equivalent schools in Palopo City. The data analysis technique uses the interactive data analysis technique of Miles and Hubberman's theory with 4 stages of the analysis process, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results obtained from this research are that the important role of teachers in increasing students' learning motivation after the Covid-19 pandemic is very necessary to increase students' interest in learning. Interest in learning that grows well will certainly affect the achievements that will be produced by students at school. So it is very clear that a professional teacher will play a role as a motivator to improve the academic achievement of students where teachers teach and educate.
Investigating the Relationship of Acute Cardiac Effects of Daphnia magna with Chemical Properties of Marine Pollutants
Authors: Lee Jinwoo
Published: September 2023

Pollutant inflow from the inland water body is one of the most significant factors affecting marine ecosystems' health status. Common artificial pollutants that arrive at the sea include herbicides, pesticides, detergents, fertilizers, oil, industrial chemicals, and sewage. These chemicals can adversely affect marine organisms. Even though Daphnia mostly lives in freshwater, Daphnia magna is universally thriving worldwide. So, the cardiac effects on Daphnia by the pollutants were deemed to be thoroughly examined for estimating the impact of the chemicals on marine organisms. In this study, Daphnia was exposed to the serially diluted solutions of the ten most inland-spreading pollutants for 30 minutes, and the heartbeat changes after the incubation was measured in bpm. And the change percentages from the incubation were compared with the chemical properties to investigate their relationship. The result showed that the xlogP, rotatable bond count, and heavy atom count were somewhat correlated with the leading coefficients of polynomial functions derived from the heartbeat change graphs. Meanwhile, molecular weight, topological PSA, and complexity were more poorly related. The findings might contribute to developing new chemicals for using on-land environmental management eventually to conserve marine ecology.
Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica): An Indicator of Ecosystem Health in the River Basins
Authors: Ranjan Devarshi , Verma Priyanka , Maurya Preeti , Iqbal Gowhar , Singh Mayank Bhushan , Upadhyay Aditya Kumar
Published: September 2023

Along with turtles, crocodiles, and a few different species of sharks, the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) is one of the oldest animals on the planet. The Ganges and Brahmaputra river basins in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh are home to this species. It generally lives in countercurrent systems of the main river channel and feeds mostly on fish. The Gangetic river dolphin is considered important because it acts as an indicator of the health of the overall river ecosystem. It was designated as the National Aquatic Animal of India on 5 October 2009. This species is now extinct in most of the areas where it once existed, due to serious threats from water development projects, pollution, poaching, and deaths from accidental entanglement in fishing gear. Currently, their population is estimated to be less than 2000 individuals. The Ganges river dolphin comes under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act (1972). They are classified as Endangered in the IUCN Red List and included in CITES Appendix I. The Wildlife Institute of India launched an initiative called "Development of a Conservation Action Plan for Dolphins" in 2016 with the intention of saving these endangered dolphins.
Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne jako kategoria badawcza studiów bezpieczeństwa
Authors: Misiągiewicz Justyna
Published: September 2023

Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne jest zjawiskiem dynamicznym. Jego rozumienie jest zależne od specyfiki podmiotów polityki bezpieczeństwa oraz od relacji na międzynarodowym rynku energetycznym. Dostęp do surowców energetycznych stanowi egzystencjalną potrzebę zarówno każdego państwa, jak i podmiotów niesuwerennych. Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne wynika nie tylko z obiektywnych przesłanek ekonomicznych, związanych z zasadami wolnego rynku, lecz także jest warunkowane kwestiami politycznymi i geostrategicznymi. W niniejszym opracowaniu skoncentrowano się na ujęciu epistemologicznym oraz uwzględniono problematykę bezpieczeństwa energetycznego jako obszaru badań bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. Przedmiotem badań jest tym samym istota i specyfika bezpieczeństwa energetycznego oraz jego uwarunkowania. Prezentowane ujęcie problemu badawczego pokazuje następującą ewolucję pojmowania bezpieczeństwa zarówno w wymiarze podmiotowym, jak i przedmiotowym. Znaczenie pojęcia bezpieczeństwa nie wiąże się już tylko z działalnością państw w dziedzinie militarnej. Połączenie bezpieczeństwa i energii tworzy nową jakość dla studiów bezpieczeństwa.
„Tam i z powrotem”, czyli wobec meta(?)nomadyzmu. Rozważania na przykładzie malarstwa Anny Orbaczewskiej
Authors: Howorus-Czajka Magdalena
Published: September 2023

W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano aspekty twórczości Anny Orbaczewskiej, które nie należą do klasycznych przykładów neonomadyzmu na świecie. Optyka problemu neonomadyzmu zaproponowana w niniejszym artykule jest odmienna niż socjologów, ekonomistów czy antropologów. W rozważaniach ukazano zagadnienie z punktu widzenia historii sztuki, która wychodząc od dzieła, dostrzega w pracach artystów komentarz współczesności. Język sztuki rozszerzył teorie neonomadyzmu i tym samym poruszone tu aspekty zaliczono do kategorii metanomadycznej. Przedrostek „meta” został tu zastosowany, by wskazać na wyższy stopień przemiany i zaakcentować następstwo lub zmienność procesów określanych jako nomadyczność. Ramę teoretyczną zbudowano, opierając się na rozważaniach: Marshalla McLuhana, Zygmunta Baumana, Wolfganga Welscha, Ines Kohl, Jamesa Clifforda, Marca Augé i Rosi Braidotti, Susan Sontag, Jacques’a Derridy oraz Umberto Eco.
W poszukiwaniu doświadczenia wojskowego czy sławy wojennej. Peregrynacje militarne Polaków w XVIII wieku
Authors: Ciesielski Tomasz
Published: September 2023

W artykule zostały omówione podróże oficerów XVIII-wiecznych armii Rzeczypospolitej do krajów europejskich w celu zdobycia wykształcenia fachowego oraz doświadczenia wojennego. W XVIII wieku zjawisko peregrynacji wojskowych nabrało na sile w stosunku do poprzednich stuleci, na co wpływ miały z jednej strony głęboki kryzys wojskowości polskiej, a z drugiej ograniczona liczebność armii koronnej i litewskiej. Nie sposób oszacować skali tego zjawiska i dlatego w artykule ograniczono się do przedstawienia sondażowej grupy kilkudziesięciu oficerów, którzy od schyłku drugiej dekady do lat 80. XVIII wieku podjęli się takich peregrynacji. Najwięcej Polaków służyło w armii saskiej, co było związane z zasiadaniem na tronie Rzeczypospolitej Wettynów, a z armii obcych władców najpopularniejszymi były: francuska, cesarska, pruska i rosyjska.
„o to się staram, żeby […] twoje sprawy zostały dobrze załatwione”. Koadiutoria biskupstwa warmińskiego dla Marcina Kromera w świetle listów i zabiegów Jerzego z Tyczyna
Authors: Polańska Ewelina
Published: September 2023

Kiedy w 1569 roku biskup warmiński Stanisław Hozjusz wyjeżdżał na stałe do Rzymu, w swojej diecezji zostawił jako administratora Marcina Kromera, jednak nie porozumiał się w tej kwestii z kapitułą warmińską, która uznała to za złamanie artykułów zaprzysiężonych (articuli iurati), co rozpoczęło długą batalię o zatwierdzenie koadiutorii. W Kurii Rzymskiej na rzecz Kromera skutecznie działał jego przyjaciel ze studenckich lat Jerzy z Tyczyna – sekretarz królewski, polski dyplomata działający w Italii na rzecz Królestwa Polskiego i polskiego Kościoła. Cała sprawa zyskuje nowe szczegóły dzięki korespondencji Ticiniusa – uważnego obserwatora i kreatora zdarzeń. Wreszcie na początku sierpnia 1571 roku w warszawskim klasztorze bernardynów delegaci kapituły warmińskiej stwierdzili wobec nuncjusza i całego jego dworu, iż akceptują Kromera jako koadiutora z woli papieża.

The documentation of psychological trauma is obviously a challenge to clinicians while they are diving deep into remote events related to their clients or patients. The potential role of psychological trauma in the early developmental stages, and even the existence of adverse childhood experiences, is important to prove, yet it is difficult to do so. A diverse range of methods have been applied, all of which presumably benchmark a big therapeutic step; however, these enthusiastic methods frequently do not last for long. While hypnosis supporters, Freudian and Neo-Freudian disciples can be acute enough to enhance and uncover suppressed memories, modern psychiatry relies mostly on diversely structured interviews. Functional magnetic resonance and its related subtleties might help, but the questions that remain unanswered are numerous and confusing.

Analyser pour composer en musique faisant appel à l’informatique
Authors: Svidzinski Joao
Published: September 2023

Cet article est issu de notre thèse de doctorat1. Dans cette recherche, nous plaçons l’analyse du répertoire musical faisant appel à l’informatique en parallèle de notre activité de compositeur. Le moment du concert est l’espace d’intersection de ces deux facettes. Jean-Claude Risset et Horacio Vaggione sont les deux compositeurs étudiés dans notre recherche. Curieusement ils ont tous les deux publié des articles sur la place de l’analyse dans la création musicale. Dans ce texte, nous allons confronter ces deux points de vue afin d’établir notre propre position vis-à-vis de notre activité sur le terrain pratique. Cette étude dégage des considérations importantes sur l’analyse réalisée par un compositeur, ainsi que les spécificités de la musique électroacoustique.
Analyse créative en recherche-création : trois exemples d’appropriation à partir du recodage d’Inharmonique de Jean-Claude Risset
Authors: Dia António de Sousa , Bonardi Alain , Svidzinski Joao
Published: September 2023

L’objectif de cet article est de montrer comment les auteurs se sont approprié le travail d’analyse-recodage d’Inharmonique de Jean-Claude Risset dans leurs propres créations. Cette version augmentée et révisée d’un précédent article publié dans les Actes des Journées d’informatique musicale 2020 présente tout d’abord la modélisation orientée objet-opératoire. Sont ensuite examinées des pièces issues du processus d’analyse-recodage : Les cris du sixième cercle (2019) de João Svidzinski, hérite de la notion d’objet et la prolonge. Dans la nef de nos songes 1 (2019) d’Alain Bonardi et TêTrês (2001) d’António de Sousa Dias, ont recours de manière explicite aux codes de Risset. Ces trois cas d’héritage se révèlent essentiels pour le recodage d’Inharmonique. Cette approche d’analyse-création est au cœur de notre activité de compositeurs et de chercheurs.
Présentation d’Inharmonique : interview avec Irène Jarsky
Authors: Jarsky Irène , Tiffon Vincent
Published: September 2023

Cette interview avec Irène Jarsky, la soprano qui a créé et participé à la genèse d’Inharmonique, nous fait découvrir une facette de l’œuvre parfois inconnue du public. Parmi les points les plus remarquables, signalons : le processus de composition dans les années 1970, l’interaction entre le compositeur et l’interprète, et surtout, les nuances interprétatives qui dépassent la notation musicale traditionnelle. Plus de quarante ans après la création de l’œuvre, cette interview montre que plusieurs questions restent encore d’actualité, notamment celle ayant trait à la recherche-création. Cela atteste de son caractère novateur et de sa place d’honneur dans le répertoire musical contemporain de la fin du XXe siècle.

This paper focuses on researching, analyzing, and evaluating universities scheduling problem which requires scheduling multiple classes, different teachers and classrooms, along with various constraints such as teacher's teaching hours, classroom capacity, and other resources. In order to solve this problem, Tabu search algorithm has been proposed, which based on searching for the best solutions for adaptive memory and reactive exploration. The constraints and limitations of the problem will be used to create a list of Tabu conditions to ensure that non-optimal solutions will not be repeated. After initializing and updating the adaptive memory, the Tabu search algorithm will search for the next solutions based on the Tabu conditions and adaptive memory. In this way, the Tabu search algorithm can find optimal solutions for this scheduling problem for universities. However, there are many challenges and limitations in the application of this algorithm, such as the large number of constraints to be follow, the determination of suitable parameters, and the dependence on the programmer's experience

Southern California has a special and unique Mediterranean climate that is rare and only shared with a few countries around the world. In the last few years, the Southern California region has experienced unpredictable periods of both wet and dry weather, and it is likely that it will continue to experience these types of disruptions as a consequence of climate changes in the future (West Basin Municipal Water District [WBMWD]). Water supply agencies in the region have pressed for strong regulations in order to promote water conservation. The study will focus on a small water agency, Rancho California Water District. (District) located within Southern California and will explore its existing water conservation program using high water use efficiency devices on residential customers. The goal for this research project is to determine if water conservation is driven by certain demographic factors such as household size, education and socio-economics. The results could improve the District’s understanding on how to allocate funds for water conservation efforts toward educating certain demographic groups.

Pupil Support Assistant/Teacher Assistant, A Pedagogical Tool Without Recognition, Essential For Educational Inclusion. Scottish Experience
Authors: Díaz José Quintanal , Ruiz José María
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION: The role of the Pupil Support Assistant (PSAs) has been defined in Scotland from the mid-20th century to the present day. Its original function was to perform basic tasks of assistance and help in aspects such as changing clothes, cleaning and tidying up the classroom to become, in the 21st century, an essential part of educational inclusion. Scottish classrooms present a great diversity not only related to the attention to diversity that has grown since 2010 where 215,897 students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) were registered, representing 30.9%, but it has also been represented by students with English as Additional Language (EAL), from 33,929 in 2010 to 57,859 in 2019. METHOD: An analysis of the existing literature on the subject, based on different qualitative and quantitative studies that describe the experience and intervention of the PSAs in schools in Scotland. RESULTS: This role has evolved over time, gaining greater presence and responsibility in the educational center through the presence and performance in activities related to educational inclusion, becoming a fundamental pillar in the social and cultural support for students. DISCUSSION: It is a priority that the professionals who are present in the processes of educational inclusion obtain better working conditions, in order to be able to provide the right support to the pupils in the 21st century.
HIV-Hypertension Comorbidity, Associated Factors and Treatment Option Among HIV Patients Attending Katsina General Hospital, Katsina State Nigeria
Authors: Ya'u Salahuddeen , Martin Osibemhe
Published: September 2023

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are facing an increased burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) comorbidity. There is however, paucity of information on the magnitude of HIV-hypertension comorbidity, its associated factors, and how the health system responds to the burden in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of comorbidity HIV and hypertension and associated factors among HIV-positive adults receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Katsina General Hospital, Katsina. Two hundred (200) HIV infected adults (aged ≥ 18) who had been on antiretroviral therapy for at least six months Katsina General Hospital, Katsina were recruited. Participants’ demographics, HIV characteristics, the presence of non-communicable diseases via self-report, from clinic folders and from measurement of their blood pressure on the day of interview and serum lipid profile, were evaluated. The magnitude of HIV and hypertension comorbidity was 28.5%. Old age, higher BMI, higher viral load, alcohol and duration on antiretroviral therapy were found to be factors associated with development of hypertension among HIV-positive adults. The prevalence of hypertension measured on the day of interview was greater than that found on self-report or reported in the clinic folder. Regular screening for the incidences of hypertension, addressing modifiable risk factors, and providing integrated care in the center would help improve the quality of life of comorbid patients.
Molecular Identification of Malaria Vector in Gusau Township, Nigeria
Authors: Abdullahi K. , Moyi S. I. , Abdulazeez M.T.
Published: September 2023

There about 460 Anopheles species recognized, over 100 can transmit human malaria but only 30–40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria. Anopheles gambiae is the principal vector of the most dangerous malaria parasite species in Africa, which is Plasmodium falciparum. Anopheles gambiae are a complex consisting of eight morphologically indistinguishable species and each of the members of the complex having unique biology, ecology and behaviour and should be studied and differentiated. The research objective was to identify the species of malaria vector in Gusau township Nigeria using molecular biological technique to know the exact malaria vector. Knowledge of the exact malaria vector in a given environment enables formulating a carefully designed tailor-made vector control measure. Indoor and outdoor mosquito samples were collected from selected areas in five wards of Gusau township using standard collection methods, for a period of twelve months. The samples were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and the result showed Anopheles gambiae in all sites of sample collection. It is therefore recommended that integrated malaria vector control should be adopted in the mosquito control programme because Anopheles gambiae is rugged and can be difficult to control and/or eradicate because of the emerging insecticide resistance and its close association with human host.
Digitalisierung in der Sozialverwaltung. Soziotechnische Konstellationen der Fallbearbeitung am Beispiel von Jugendämtern
Authors: BÜCHNER STEFANIE , GALL KORBINIAN
Published: September 2023

Angesichts der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung von Sozialverwaltungen analysiert dieser Beitrag die Bedeutung von integrierten Softwarelösungen (digitale Fachverfahren, Fallsoftware) für die Bearbeitung von Fällen. Die Ergebnisse der ethnografischen Untersuchung im Jugendamt zeigen, dass Fallsoftware in Sozialverwaltungen uneinheitlich relevant ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund lässt sich Fallbearbeitung als Geschehen beschreiben, das in unterschiedlichen soziotechnischen Konstellationen stattfindet. Fachkräfte leisten darin zunehmend data work. Eine daran anschließende Differenzierung ermöglicht eine zielgenauere Diskussion über die Digitalisierung von Sozialverwaltungen als personenbezogene Organisationen und gibt Einblick in die Bedingungen ihrer Datenproduktion.
Interessenvertretungen in der Digitalisierung. Zur Bedeutung betriebspolitischer Aktivierungsprojekte der Gewerkschaften am Beispiel von „Arbeit 2020 in NRW“
Authors: HAIPETER THOMAS , SCHILLING GABI
Published: September 2023

Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Handlungsmuster Betriebsräte im Umgang mit Digitalisierungsprozessen entwickeln und welche Rolle dabei gewerkschaftliche Aktivierungsprojekte spielen können, die darauf abzielen, die Handlungsfähigkeit der Betriebsräte zu verbessern. Dazu wird das Beispiel des gewerkschaftlichen Projekts „Arbeit 2020 in NRW“ herangezogen, das als eines der zentralen Projekte einer gewerkschaftlichen Betriebspolitik zur Digitalisierung betrachtet werden kann. Der Projektfokus auf die Aktivierung zu gestaltungsorientierter und strategisch ausgerichteter Betriebsratsarbeit steht in deutlichem Kontrast zu anderen Forschungsbefunden, denen zufolge Interessenvertretungspolitik der Betriebsräte zumeist reaktiv und auf – die zweifellos wichtigen – Schutzinteressen ausgelegt ist. Die Autorin/der Autor beleuchten in diesem Beitrag, welche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Verbesserung der Handlungsfähigkeit der Betriebsräte durch gewerkschaftliche Aktivierungsprojekte bestehen und was daraus für die Verbreitung neuer Interessenvertretungspraktiken und für das Zusammenspiel von Gewerkschaften und Betriebsräten folgt.
Das Europäische Parlament und die Türkei
Authors: Baues Patrick
Published: September 2023

Relations between the EU and Turkey have been characterised by growing estrangement for many years. For the most part, Turkey's departure from democratic values is pointed out as the cause of this estrangement, but this reasoning overlooks the fact that the relationship between Turkey and the EU is characterised by mutual irritations that have led to deep fractures. In this book, the author analyses the causes and expressions of these normative and strategic tensions on the basis of the debates in the European Parliament (2004–2019). In a unique way, he shows how the polarising question of accession has affected the various parliamentary groups and reveals what has caused Turkey's successful integration into the EU to fail.

This study argues that the spaces, limits and strategies in organising domestic workers are informed and shaped by a country’s political economy and labour regime. It is guided by the theoretical frameworks of Robert Cox’s Neo-Gramscian action framework and Social Reproduction Theory in its analysis. These frameworks of analysis illuminate the relations of social forces engendered through the particular relations of production and reproduction, and they provide the conceptual tools with which to explain the dimensions of precarity and organising strategies that shape and constrain the spaces involved in organising migrant domestic workers. This study proposes that the interlocking dimensions of precarity perpetuate and result in the cycle of disempowerment, disposability and exclusion of migrant domestic workers in Malaysia.

Salt stress is a sever threat to global agriculture. Improving salt tolerance is a problematic task due to the large number of characteristics involved. Graft technique is a potential substitute to breeding and interesting practices to salt tolerance since it unites a scion and rootstock of two genotypes. Increased salinity tolerance in fruit trees will alter water relations, disrupt ionic balance, which can harm plant tissues and thus limit plant productivity. Therefore, the ability of fruit trees to resist salinity varies by species, although it is mostly determined by the type of their root systems. In this regard, the selection of salt-tolerant rootstocks can help maintain productivity under salinity. Several physiological and biochemical changes are attributed to the favorable response of grafting exerted by tolerant rootstocks or scion-rootstock interactions on yield and fruit attributes of plants in saline environments. Rootstocks provide grafted plants different salt tolerance mechanisms including the accumulation of compatible solutes and enhancing the antioxidant mechanisms in scion. The importance of grafting, strategies for selecting appropriate rootstocks, scion-rootstock interaction for growth and the tolerance mechanisms used by plants to avoid the effects of salt stress, are all discussed in this review. Grafting’s potential challenges are also discussed.
The Operative Function in Spanish Lexicography Exemplified through Sport Dictionaries and Other Reference Works

Over time, dictionaries have been adapted to meet users' consultation needs. As a result, other types of data such as instructions or specialised explanations have been included in these works in order to fulfil their purpose. It is in this context that operative lexicographical tools are produced, although such tools have traditionally received very little attention from a metalexicographic point of view. Through the analyses of 5 existing dictionaries and other reference works from the 18th to the 20th centuries regarding equestrianism, football and fencing, this article shows that many lexicographical information tools in Spanish were indeed produced to satisfy the need for practical knowledge through instructions (operative need). Based on this finding, this article argues that the operative function of lexicography deserves a place in lexicographical theory and lexicographical academic literature. An interesting finding that emerges from these analyses is that almost all the dictionaries analysed are polyfunctional, and they share a list of characteristics based on their typology, media and historical moment that can help to make clear the importance of the operative function in the Spanish lexicographical tradition. Furthermore, on the basis of the above analyses, several answers are given to guide future research on operative lexicographical products. Keywords: function theory, Spanish lexicography, sport dictionaries, polyfunctional tools, operative function, specialised dictionaries
