Блок у Адамовича: urbus в «Игле на ковре»
Authors:   Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, Gyöngyösi Mária , Спроге Людмила ,   Латвийский университет
Published: July 2021

В статье традиционная исследовательская тема «Блок и Адамович» рассмотрена на примере не поэзии, а прозы Георгия Адамовича. Рассказ «Игла на ковре» (публикация в “The New Review”, № 100, 1970) был произведением «для немногих» среди современников автора и последующей критики. Характерно, что публикация состоялась в год 90-летнего юбилея Блока, тем самым как бы провоцируя восприятие смысловых доминант текста. Начиная с игры цитатами (Блок, Анненский и др.) и кончая урбанистическими «видениями» из «Незнакомки» Блока, город в рассказе Адамовича создается по принципу реминисцентной поэтики. Блоковский урбанизм навеян несколькими «рассказчиками», которые представляют вариативность точек зрения на динамику «странных» событий.
Inside the Theatre of Business: Performance and Corporate Presentation Training
Authors: Johnston Daniel
Published: July 2021

How are theatre-techniques used in business training? Do theatre-making skills represent a unique field of knowledge? In this case study, I consider the National Institute of Dramatic Art’s (NIDA) ‘Executive Presenter’ two- day course in Sydney, Australia, and attempt to counter a simplistic notion of theatre as magical practice. Performance techniques are complex, historically and culturally-contingent processes for making and sharing meaning (McAuley 2008). I describe exercises from the course in some detail ‒ including elements of space, voice, body, structure, awareness, spontaneity, and rehearsal ‒ and suggest that we can understand these presentation skills in a relationship of continuity with everyday meaning-making, rather than as a magical art form. On the one hand, NIDA trades off and reinforces the popular mystique surrounding acting. On the other hand, the course introduces simple and effective techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication. Ultimately, my investigation considers the claim made in marketing the course that ‘public speaking can come naturally to you.’

Published: July 2021

Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was widely adopted in
Japan after its coverage by national healthcare insurance began in June
2019. We investigated the clinical utility of CGP in pediatric and
adolescent young adults (AYA) solid tumor patients. Procedure: Between
November 2017 and December 2019, 13 patients who progressed with or who
were likely to progress with standard therapies were recruited to the
PROFILE-F study to undergo CGP using either FoundationOne® CDx or
FoundationOne® Heme. Results: The median age was 28 years old. Tumor
types were as follows: neuroblastoma (n=1), Wilms’ tumor (n=1),
rhabdomyosarcoma (n=2), Ewing sarcoma (n=1), gastric cancer (n=1),
rectal cancer (n=1), osteosarcoma (n=1), neuroendocrine tumor (n=2),
salivary gland carcinoma (n=1), tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (n=1),
and thymic cancer (n=1). In 92% of cases, at least one genomic
alteration was identified, including CDKN2A (four cases), TP53 (three
cases), and MYC (two cases). Actionable aberrations were found in 10
cases (77%), and a clinical trial candidate was found in seven cases
(54%). However, no patients were able to receive biomarker-matched
therapy according to their genomic alterations. Conclusions: Further
efforts to increase basket trials and collection of clinical genomic
data to predict response are necessary to advance precision cancer
medicine in pediatric and AYA populations.

Life-history attributes of Arctic-breeding birds drive uneven responses to environmental variability across different phases of the reproductive cycle
Authors: Ruthrauff Daniel , Patil Vijay , Hupp Jerry W. , Ward David
Published: July 2021

1. Animals exhibit varied life-history traits that reflect adaptive
responses to their environments. For Arctic-breeding birds, traits like
foraging guild, egg nutrient allocation, clutch size, and chick growth
are predicted to be under increasing selection pressure due to rapid
climate change and increasing environmental variability across
high-latitude regions. 2. We compared four migratory birds (black brant
[Branta bernicla nigricans], lesser snow geese [Chen caerulescens
caerulescens], semipalmated sandpipers [Calidris pusilla], and
Lapland longspurs [Calcarius lapponicus]) with varied life histories
at an Arctic site in Alaska, USA, to understand how life-history traits
help moderate environmental variability across different phases of the
reproductive cycle. 3. We monitored aspects of reproductive performance
related to the timing of breeding, reproductive investment, and chick
growth from 2011–2018. 4. In response to early snow melt and warm
temperatures, semipalmated sandpipers advanced their site arrival and
bred in higher numbers, while brant and snow geese increased clutch
sizes; all four species advanced their nest initiation dates. During
chick rearing, longspur chicks were relatively resilient to
environmental variation whereas warmer temperatures increased the growth
rates of sandpiper chicks but reduced growth rates of snow goose
goslings. These responses generally aligned with traits along the
capital-income spectrum of nutrient acquisition and altricial-precocial
modes of chick growth. Under a warming climate, the ability to mobilize
endogenous reserves likely provides geese with relative flexibility to
adjust the timing of breeding and the size of clutches. Warmer
temperatures, however, may negatively affect the quality of herbaceous
foods and slow gosling growth. 5. Species may possess traits that are
beneficial during one phase of the reproductive cycle and others that
may be detrimental at another phase, uneven responses that may be
amplified with future climate warming. These results underscore the need
to consider multiple phases of the reproductive cycle when assessing the
effects of environmental variability on Arctic-breeding birds.
Response of leaf functional traits of woody plants in central Guizhou to degraded karst soil characteristics
Authors: Wang Qi , Rong Li , Wang Mengjie , Ye Tianmu , Li Tingting , Yang Wensong , Li Xuan
Published: July 2021

1.In this study, the dominant woody plants in different degraded
background plots in Puding, Guizhou Province were selected as the
research objects. Six leaf functional traits(LT, LA, SLA, LDMC, LTD,
Chlc) were measured to analyze the effects of soil characteristics on
the leaf functional traits of vegetation in the region. 2.We observed
that under the degraded environment of karst area, the plant leaves
tended to increase, with the most significant change in the returned
land; There were significant differences in plant traits under
burning,burning felling and returning farmland, with the largest change
range of LA, LTD and SLA, which could reach 121.90%, 118.08% and
86.00% respectively in the corresponding sample plots. 3.In the
degraded plots, the leaf traits were significantly different among tree,
shrub and liana species. In general, the interspecific variation of
shrub and liana species was higher than that of tree species, and the
community was in the early and middle stage of succession. 4.Soil
properties under different degradation background were quite
different,and there was a significant correlation between soil
properties and vegetation leaf functional properties. Soil depth, soil
nutrients and soil humidity were the key soil characteristic factors of
plant leaf functional properties. 5.The results showed that the leaf
traits of plant in degraded area showed large LA,small LT, low SLA and
LTD, high LDMC and low Chlc, which tended to develop drought character
combination. This paper reveals the internal differentiation succession
law of degraded karst secondary forest in central Guizhou and provides
scientific basis for the management and biodiversity protection of karst
secondary forest.
A Bayesian copula-based spatio-temporal method for multivariate drought risk analysis: A case study of the Balkhash Lake Basin
Authors: Yang Xin , Li Yongping
Published: July 2021

In this study, a Bayesian copula spatio-temporal drought risk analysis
(BCSDA) method is developed through coupling Bayesian copula and
spatio-temporal analysis into a general framework. BCSDA can eﬀectively
identify drought characteristics and reveal the temporal and spatial
variation, as well as analyze drought risk at different guaranteed rates
based on the influence of multivariate interaction. Then, BCSDA is
applied to the Balkhash Lake Basin (a typical arid watershed in Central
Asia) for analyzing drought risk during 1901-2017. Major findings are:
(i) Balkhash Lake Basin suffered 53 drought events in 1901-2017, and the
most severe drought event occurred in October 1973 to January 1977,
which lasted for 40 months and developed into an extreme drought during
April 1975 to June 1976, affecting 335,800 square kilometers of the
study basin; (ii) most of the drought events developed in the direction
of east-west, and Lli River delta and the alluvial plain were the most
severe of drought (47.2%), followed by the plateau desert area (28.3%)
and the arid grassland in north of Balkhash Lake (24.5%); (iii) drought
shows significant seasonality which usually began in spring and summer
(64.2%) and ended in summer and autumn (66.0%); (iv) in Balkhash Lake
Basin, multivariate characteristics (duration, severity and area) would
significantly affect drought risk; (v) the range of drought risk would
be [1.9%, 18.1%], [3.7%, 33.1%], [8.7%, 46.0%],
[16.0%, 55.1%] and [27.6%, 59.8%] when guarantee rate is
0.99, 0.98, 0.95, 0.90 and 0.80.
Hearing, voicing and healing: rivers as culturally located and connected
Authors: Wooltorton Sandra , Poelina Anne , Guimond Laurie , Durand Guy Sioui
Published: July 2021

In this paper a collaborative writing group explores how we, two rivers,
express ourselves over time, place and space, our energies long
interpreted as veins and arteries carrying the Country’s life affirming
blood. Voiced as River: I, River, this position reflects a
worldview in which interrelationship with living river is normal, and
River Spirit is ever-present. It is a position underpinned by Indigenous
narratives as riverine expressions of place-based love. At times the
paper is also voiced as writing group or individuals, with voices
being interchanged where required for smooth reading. We see this as
part of the decolonising process, which feels liberating and healing
amongst the writers. Each writer is equally valued as co-creator,
contributor, narrator and story teller. The two Rivers, being Martuwarra
Fitzroy River (Kimberley, Western Australia), and Unamen Shipu Romaine
River (North Shore, Québec, Canada) illustrate a common condition of
being, through heritage, life, change and possibility. Through stories
and voices, the socio-scientific implications of colonisation and lost
connections become clear, considering the interaction, the dialogue and
the cultural synthesis of living water systems that have always
incorporated all life forms into rivers of life. As a way of navigating
towards wholeness, Aboriginal knowledge systems and narratives for
healing are used to bring together findings of this intercultural river
learning journey.
Numerical simulation analysis of the induced thrust on a char particle in reaction process
Authors: Zhou Shengyu , Shen Zhongjie , Liang Qinfeng , Xu Jian-Liang , Dai Zheng-Hua , Liu Haifeng
Published: July 2021

The force exerted on particles is of great significance to the flow and
reaction characteristics of particles in gasifier. In this study, the
unbalanced thrust, especially its magnitude, of a single char particle
induced by chemical reactions during combustion process is investigated
numerically, based on the random distribution of active sites. It is
revealed that the nonuniform distribution of active sites directly leads
to the nonuniform release of gaseous products, which accounts for the
net induced thrust of particles. The effects of active site ratio,
ambient gas temperature and particle diameter on the induced thrust of
reaction particle were investigated. The results show that the induced
thrust on particles could be equal to the magnitude of particle gravity.
The induced thrust decreases with the increase of active area and
particle diameter. And it is enhanced with the increase of ambient
temperature.
Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the auricle and parotid region: A case report
Authors: Milanovic Srdjan , Stojanovic-Rundic Suzana , Milosevic Nikola , Dozic Branko , Dozic Marko
Published: July 2021

Skin cancers are the most common malignant tumors in general. The most
significant risk factor is exposure to UV radiation. They mainly occur in
the head and neck region, and the majority of about 80% are basal cell
carcinomas. Surgery is standard treatment of uncomplicated basal cell
carcinomas, but a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in advanced cases.
The case report refers to a patient with locally advanced recurrent basal
cell carcinoma with primary tumor localization in the right auricle and
parotid region in 2012 when primary surgery was performed. Due to the local
recurrence, amputation of the right auricle and trepanation of the mastoid
process was done in November 2018, and after that, radiation therapy of a
recurrent tumor in the area of the trepanation cavity was applied. In the
course of follow-up so far, there is good local control, without signs of
toxicity. The case report points to the importance of a multidisciplinary
approach and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment and control of
advanced basal cell carcinoma of this region.
Capital structure of COOP group in the Czech Republic
Authors: Pevná Jana
Published: July 2021

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the capital structure and its determinants in consumer co- operatives in the Czech Republic. Consumer co-operatives are associated in the COOP Group, which is the largest retail network of food stores in the country. This analysis uses quantitative data from the financial statements for the years 2014 to 2018 from the database of information on Czech economic entities Albertina. Financial indicators, regression as well as correlation analysis are all used to analyse the data. This paper reveals that the leverage of the entire group is low, as more than two- thirds of the assets are financed by equity. Internal financing from retained profits is prevalent. From the results of multiple linear regression analysis is apparent that tangibility and total assets turnover both have a positive effect on leverage while liquidity and retained profits negative.

la semiótica visual a la semiótica de la moda: identificando el color durante la Ruta Libertadora
Authors: Martínez Arcos Andrea Carolina , Gómez Saavedra Gissell Natalia
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo trata sobre el análisis del color del vestuario como posible rasgo diferenciador a nivel territorial y de época, lo que sirve como principal herramienta para identificar grupos culturales y sociales representados en la indumentaria colombiana en el periodo de 1810 a 1820. Este análisis hace parte de la investigación en curso “Reconocer nuestro patrimonio – Indumentaria durante la Ruta Libertadora”, la cual tiene por objetivo documentar e identificar los elementos del diseño de moda tales como estructura, forma, color y demás rasgos visuales y técnicos que permitan establecer un discurso propio con respecto al traje, el diseño textil y su tendencia propia de la época y la región.

Como proceso metodológico se llevó a cabo una recopilación de información visual, obtenida a través de fuentes cartográficas e ilustraciones de indumentaria que fuesen pertinentes y correspondieran con los principales protagonistas de la gesta libertadora. Para ello se realizó una clasificación de imágenes, entre las que se incluyen personajes del ejército patriota, así como realistas, mestizos y criollos.

Este estudio sistemático permite reconstruir con datos todo aquello relacionado con el vestuario de la época en Boyacá. En específico, y en lo que se refiere a este artículo, se toma como caso de estudio el color como recurso fundamental de la semiótica visual, para así comprender el código cromático y su relación con los seis ejes fundamentales planteados por Bernd Löbach (1981), para las funciones de los productos y su relación con el hombre y el objeto: lo estético, lo funcional, lo social, lo sensorial, lo formal y los efectos. Este enfoque logra evidenciar la influencia del vestuario francés, inglés y español en aquel momento de la historia, y cómo construye las preferencias de los grupos sociales en sus actividades.

Con los resultados obtenidos de esta investigación se busca establecer una serie de pautas para un futuro proyecto que permita entender el fenómeno cromático en el universo de la indumentaria ligada al costumbrismo de la época, para así aportar a la memoria de la historia de la región y del diseño.

Sobre la representación del razonamiento basado en premisas
Authors: Sobrino Cerdeiriña Alejandro , Trillas Enric
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo se expone una nueva forma de abordar el razonamiento basado en premisas, sosteniendo que razonar sobre algo consiste en conjeturar o refutar y que conjeturar sólo puede estribar en desarrollar lo que está oculto en las premisas, explicarlas o especular a partir de ellas. A continuación, se presenta el papel de los conjuntos borrosos para representar el significado impreciso característico del razonamiento ordinario, mostrando a la función de pertenencia como una aproximación de la medida en que un objeto verifica la propiedad denotada por el predicado vago. Finalmente, se indican algunas limitaciones del razonamiento de sentido común.

There was significant difference in knowledge scores of pre-test and post-test p<0.001).There was no significant association between knowledge score and demographic variables. Conclusion: There was significant gain in knowledge score of care givers. The study concluded that psycho education was effective in increasing the knowledge of care givers of schizophrenia patients. Psycho education of the family members is the key to understand about the illness and provide better care to the patient.
Ecological neo-Narodnism and the peasant economy: history and contemporary relevance
Authors: Vianna Franco Marco Paulo
Published: July 2021

Based on the ecological utopianism of Narodnik thinkers, this article assesses the programmatic concept of ecological neo-narodnism, as put forth by Martinez-Alier (1987), addressing (1) to what extent it conforms to the intellectual legacy of the Narodniki? (2) what are its main theoretical foundations and policy recommendations for a peasant economy in the 21st century? and (3) how it contributes to contemporary social and environmental challenges. It explores in detail the ecological economic theories which can be applied to the peasant economy according to the ideology of ecological neo-narodnism, the latter analyzed from the perspectives of the fields of political economy and political ecology. Peasant movements are addressed as the manifestation of such a worldview. Finally, the contributions of ecological neo-narodnism to overcome current social and environmental challenges are discussed and associated with economic degrowth.
Experimental Evaluation of the Effects of Structural Changes on the Vibration Properties of CK35 Steel
Authors: Yazani Navid Moshtaghi
Published: July 2021

The microstructure of some components which operate in high-temperature conditions (e.g. boiler components, turbine blades used in gas power plants, jet engines and reactors) is subjected to changes in long run, which leads to a degradation in the mechanical properties of these components and consequently, reduces their lifecycle. Therefore, it is so useful to detect the changes in the microstructure of these parts during their operation, employing an easy, fast and non-destructive method to determine their remaining life. In this study, we evaluate the effects of the microstructural changes on natural frequencies and the damping coefficient of CK35 steel, employing the experimental modal test. We aim to use the method for power plant components, if it has significant effects. To do so, we applied spheroidization heat treatment on CK35 steel samples having a primary structure of ferrite-pearlite for 24 and 48 hours. Then, we carried out the experimental modal test on samples having different metallurgical structures, but with the same dimensions and weights. According to the findings, the spherical ferrite-carbide particles in the ferrite structure increase the natural frequencies and damping coefficient. These tests show that the structural changes in this type of steel result in slight changes in the values of natural frequencies; however, it significantly changes the damping frequencies.

Measurement and Evaluation of Functional and Operational Coefficients of Hydraulic Solenoid Valve Prototypes Used for Variable Valve Timing Control in Combustion Engines
Authors: Kalinowski Marcin , Kamiński Zbigniew
Published: July 2021

This paper describes the engineering structure and functions of a typical solenoid valve used in hydraulic mechanisms that are based on variable camshaft timing (VCT). The main operating parameters and functional utility coefficients of hydraulic solenoid valves have been defined. Tests of 10 reference and 10 prototype valves were run on a test stand for a comparative assessment of both engineering concepts based on Welch and Mann–Whitney statistical tests of the mean values of designated coefficients. The studies identified differences between both designs, and the obtained research material was used as an input to improve the performance of the engineered concept. To perform a final evaluation of the effects that arise as a result of changes introduced to some functional–operational coefficients, additional tests are required to be run on an engine testbed. The applied test methodology may then be used for control and verification tests of the valves, which can further be used in VCT technology.
Phosphorus in the shallow, urban lake subjected to restoration - case study of Lake Domowe Duże in Szczytno
Authors: Łopata Michał , Augustyniak Renata , Grochowska Jolanta , Parszuto Katarzyna , Płachta Anna
Published: July 2021

The paper presents the results of the research on the restoration of the shallow Lake Domowe Duże in Szczytno (area 0.6 km2, average depth 3.4m). Restoration treatments were carried out in the years 2010-2012 and consisted in the inactivation of phosphorus using polyaluminium chloride. Technical restoration was supported by biomanipulation treatments consisting in stocking the lake with predatory fish. Water quality study were carried out before remediation and annually for a decade (2010-2019) during and after the application of coagulant. It was shown that the efficiency of removing excess phosphorus from water column was high (decrease from 0.23 mgP L-1 to 0.05 mgP L-1). The effects achieved during the coagulant application were maintained for 5 years after the end of the project. Currently, the phosphorus pool is still twice as low as before the treatments, but it is gradually increasing. The main external factor limiting permanent improvement of water quality is the open hydrological system and transport of biogenic matter by surface inflows draining anthropogenically transformed areas. Maintaining permanent improvement of water quality will require continuation of restoration measures.
Emotion and concreteness effects when learning novel concepts in the native language
Authors: Guasch Marc , Ferré Pilar
Published: July 2021

The aim of the present study was to test the proposal of Kousta et al. (2011), according to which abstract words are more affectively loaded than concrete words. To this end, we focused on the acquisition of novel concepts by means of an intentional learning experiment in which participants had to learn a set of 40 novel concepts in Spanish (definitions) associated with novel word forms (pseudowords). Concreteness (concrete vs. abstract concepts) and emotionality (neutral vs. negative concepts) were orthogonally manipulated. Acquisition was assessed through a recognition task in which participants were asked to match the novel word forms with their definitions. Results showed that concrete concepts were acquired better than abstract concepts. Importantly, the concreteness advantage disappeared when the content of the concept was negative. Hence, emotional (negative) content facilitated the acquisition of abstract concepts, but not of concrete concepts, giving support to the proposal of Kousta et al. (2011).
Reshaping the Danube Region imaginary: A focus on digital transformation and HPC
Authors: Cepoi Victor
Published: July 2021

In 2010, the European Commission launched Europe 2020 Strategy in response to the economic crisis and boost the EU’s economy. Later the same year, the EC proposes the European Union Strategy for Danube Region. The Danube Region being so diverse, it is important to understand it not only from the legal or administrative boundaries, but also to grasp the historical and cultural diversity. Consequently, in order not to neglect these primordial factors, this article addresses the Danube Region as a political and economic imaginary through the lenses of Cultural Political Economy, that focuses on the complexity of the reality. Following this line of argument, the aim is to understand the economic reshape of the Danube Region and the consequences of the European Union Strategy for Danube Region.
Return migration and re-integration of returnees challenges in the origin country
Authors: Ndreka Alkida
Published: July 2021

Return migration, traditionally not a well-studied and often neglected area, is becoming an important component of the international migration debate. Reintegration is an essential part of return migration and identified as a complex process that is experienced differently by returnees. The adaptation of immigrants in the host country has been extensively studied, while much less attention has been paid to economic and socio-cultural reintegration and the difficulties return migrants face once they come back to their homeland. Especially children and youth born in destination countries with sociolinguistic and socialization difficulties face a particularly tough reintegration process. Theoretically, there is comprehensive literature focused on return migration and reasons for return, but less in return migration policies and reintegration process. Empirically, there is a lack of studies focused on the reintegration of returnees, particularly in the socio-cultural aspect. With increased attention to the importance of this process, many states and governments have established policies or programs to encourage the return of their citizens, and facilitate returnees’ successful and permanent relocation in the new society of the origin country. This paper aims to analyze theoretically and empirically the processes of reintegration of returnees in the origin country by identifying the challenges they encounter in the economic and social-cultural life of the origin country.
The Basovizza monument: Constructing memory and identity
Authors: Zamparutti Louise
Published: July 2021

The Foiba di Basovizza monument in northeast Italy commemorates victims of mass killings instigated by communist partisans at the end of World War II. These killings are known as “foibe” in the Italian literature. This word has come to signify the “ethnic cleansing” of Italians by Yugoslavians, despite evidence indicating that the majority of victims of these killings were from Slovenia and Croatia and that the killings were politically motivated. The Foiba di Basovizza was designated a national monument in Italy in 2007 and the narrative of “ethnic cleansing” it presents has been accepted throughout Italy as a legitimate version of history. Nationalistic comments made by European Parliament president Antonio Tajani at the monument’s annual commemoration on 10 February 2019, however, sparked international outcry and revealed that the site is still a vortex for longstanding discursive battles over territorial rights and victimhood contests. This paper argues that the Basovizza monument outmaneuvers questions of historical and scientific accuracy by constructing an exclusive notion of Italian identity that galvanizes nationalism and fuels fear of foreign infiltration. My analysis is a case study that investigates how productions of public memory can be used politically to influence the formation of national, ethnic, and cultural identity.
Oil production and the problematic of water pollution in the Niger Delta: A study of selected communities in Bayelsa State
Authors: Ovie Ejumudo Kelly Bryan , Harrison Amede Ogochukwu
Published: July 2021

This study examines the problematic of oil production and water pollution in selected oil-bearing communities in Bayelsa State. The design of the study was descriptive survey. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire. The data were analyzed using chi-square. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the role of the Nigerian State, multinational oil companies as well as the community leadership and the negative effects of water pollution on the health, occupation/economic and the livelihood standard/poverty level of the people of the oil-bearing communities in Bayelsa State. The study recommended among others that the multi-layered levels of government should formulate and genuinely implement policies that will mitigate the effects of water pollution on the health, economic and livelihood status of the people and the multinational oil conglomerates should be truly committed to integrated policies and strategies that will close the developmental gaps in the Niger Delta Region.
Women’s status in Tunisia post revolution, legal acquis and real achievements
Authors: Ghali Nawel
Published: July 2021

Under the umbrella of democratic transition, a new constitution was written which encourages more for gender equality and provides Tunisian women with further rights, mainly the political ones, to improve more the status of women within the complexity of the Tunisia society. This paper intends to focus on the Gender Gap Index, a methodological approach for the measurement of gender equality published by the World Economic Forum, to examine the regulations on women’s rights in the Tunisian constitution and to connect the statistics with legal achievement in order to try to answer the main research question: to what extent laws about Tunisian women’s rights are translated in practice?
Imágenes siniestras: El dolor de los demás (2018) de Miguel Ángel Hernández
Authors:   Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (España), Candeloro Antonio
Published: July 2021

The objective of this article is to analyze how the images which appear in El dolor de los demás, by Miguel Ángel Hernández, allow us to develop both a narrative and a theoretical discourse on the sinister, understanding the term in the Freudian sense. All the photos, the newspaper clippings, the images of contemporary artistic works present in the novel will gradually become emblematic epitomes from which the protagonist narrator will reflect on the perception of time in relation to a disturbing past. The narrator will also discover the risks of the interpretive loop (or the conflict of the interpretations) in which the one who contemplates those same visual documents ends up immersing himself, especially when a portion of the personal past is configured as a bleeding wound and unhealthy trauma
Los Cuentos surrealistas de Muñoz Rojas
Authors:   Universitat de les Illes Balears (España), Ferreira Prado María Cecilia
Published: July 2021

There are almost no studies on the Cuentos surrealistas (1979) by José Antonio Muñoz Rojas, author best known for his poetic work in the Spanish post-war period. His stories were mostly written in the 1930s, the time of the rise of Spanish surrealism. The author published them as a whole many years later. Due to its great visuality and humorous trait, the work recalls the carefree and jovial tone of the first avant-garde; however, he moves away from this because of the great depth of thought that Muñoz Rojas expresses in these stories. The objective of this study is to analyze the stories in their context, identify the surreal themes, motifs and techniques, as well as their dominant stylistic features and the posible influences of other authors.
Entre dogma y resistencia: arma verbal y rehabilitación de la conciencia de mujer en la erografía contemporánea
Authors:   Universidad de Yaundé I (Camerún), Fokou Ngouo Arthur Freddy
Published: July 2021

This present reflection focuses on the theme of the feminist revolution from the linguistic area. We intend to highlight how the female narrator instrumentalizes the verb and expressiveness in the search of effects that are usually disruptive of the systemic developed around the phallus. This work investigates, then, the instrumentalization of the linguistic sign from a subversive perspective of the exclusive sexist discourse. Relying on decolonial feminism –given that the colonial matrix is the small daughter of the patriarchal dogma–, we try to shed light on how novelists use erographic expressiveness to question the self-proclaimed sovereignty of men over the logos, and also to break the values that have been traditionally attributed to sexism. Thus, this study contemplates the feminine logos de-censored from its sexist obstacles as a weapon of resistance and transgression against the ideology sustained for a long time by the phalocracy
Ofermod y heroísmo humilde: sobre la interpretación de Tolkien
Authors:   Unibertsitatea Mondragón (España), Mentxakatorre Odriozola Jon
Published: July 2021

This paper studies Tolkien’s interpretation of German heroism, taking as a starting point his essay-poem «The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son» on The Battle of Maldon. Through academic texts on Beowulf and Sigurd, as well as his own legendarium, his reading and contribution are explored, placing the latter in dialogue with the latest research, and detailing the lines and scope of his ideas. After locating the inflection point that Tolkien marked around the word ofermod(e), the historical, literary and religious components that base Tolkien’s interpretation will be explained, in line with the Anglo-Saxon poetic and heroic tradition. Through this, it will become clear that the humble heroism of the subordinate who faces the fatal fate to which his master has led him is rooted in clear examples of Old English literature, and that the darkness brought by the terrible enemy has a mythical dimension, which refers to the shadow and to hell. Finally, in light of the latest contributions, Tolkien’s interpretation will be reaffirmed and enriched, opening new research perspectives on his work
Análisis de las políticas y planificaciones lingüísticas postcoloniales de Senegal desde la ecolingüística
Authors:   Universidad Gaston Berger (Senegal), Seydi Oumar
Published: July 2021

This article focuses on the analysis of language policies and planning undertaken by the different governments of Senegal from independence to the present. We intend to address this issue based on the scientific literature and political-linguistic decisions and actions to elucidate the complexity of the Senegalese sociolinguistic situation. In addition, we resort to the ecolinguistic analysis approach of the Senegalese socio-educational environment for a sustainable regulation of the country’s sociolinguistic ecosystem. The results demonstrate the emergence and diffusion of a mixed national identity, associated with urban wolof, which offers new socio-educational perspectives and an opportunity for sustainable regulation of the Senegalese educational system, thanks to the neutralization of linguistic conflicts.
Os discursos racializados
Authors: Modesto Rogério
Published: July 2021

O texto apresenta reflexões a respeito da potencial produtividade teórica e heurística do conceito de “discursos racializados” para o campo da análise de discurso materialista. Do ponto de vista teórico, o conceito proposto ressalta a compreensão de que a tensão racial é um problema constitutivo à formação social brasileira, tendo em vista o modo de produção que a domina, fato que coloca questões para a noção de condições de produção e para o eixo de constituição discursiva. Do ponto de vista analítico, o conceito em pauta impõe a necessidade de, na mobilização do dispositivo de análise, exercer uma profunda escuta discursiva que considere as determinações históricas dos processos de racialização na sua relação com as materialidades do discursivo, refletindo, então, sobre os eixos da circulação e da formulação dos discursos. Através da reflexão empreendida no texto, chega-se à conclusão de que os discursos racializados não se limitam a discursos de ou sobre raça, podendo então interferir em outras instâncias discursivas.
L'Europe, terre de mission
Authors: Theobald Christoph
Published: July 2021

Paru en 1943, l’ouvrage des abbés Godin et Daniel, La France, pays de mission ?, remet pour la première fois en question la répartition géographique de la « chrétienté » en peuples déjà christianisés et pays de mission. Reçue par le concile Vatican II et une série de textes postconciliaires, cette prise de conscience s’élargit progressivement à l’ensemble de l’Europe, tout en étant accompagnée d’une érosion considérable de l’esprit missionnaire. L’article se propose de préciser ce diagnostic socio-historique, de réfléchir à la conception même de la mission en Europe, sans cesse à ajuster à la situation culturelle du continent, et d’évoquer quelques défis missionnaires au sein de ses sociétés.

Objetivo: Esse artigo buscou discutir a incidência do Tromboembolismo Venoso (TEV) em mulheres durante a gravidez e o puerpério. Além disso, também foram discutidos os principais fatores de risco associados e a melhor conduta para essa complicação, que é uma das principais causas de mortes evitáveis no período de puerpério em ambiente intra-hospitalar. Revisão bibliográfica: O trabalho trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, em que foi abordado a incidência, a fisiopatologia e os fatores de riscos pré-existentes para TEV, como idade, tabagismo, obesidade, diabetes, além de fatores obstétricos, a saber, gestações múltiplas, pré-eclâmpsia, cesariana, infecções e hemorragias pós-parto. Na conduta, a tromboprofilaxia deve ser realizada após estratificar o risco de cada paciente, e em casos de intermediário e alto risco deve-se realizar terapia medicamentosa com uso de anticoagulantes. Considerações finais: Por ser uma doença muito recorrente, é necessária a estratificação de riscos para TEV desde o primeiro trimestre de gestação, além do acompanhamento profissional durante o ciclo gravídico-puerperal, visto que o diagnóstico precoce é muito importante para o melhor prognóstico.

BACKGROUND: Stomal and peristomal skin complications represent a significant burden on the physical and psychological well-being of patients. PURPOSE: To develop a predictive tool for identifying the risk of complications in patients following ostomy surgery. METHODS: The oStomY regiSTry prEdictive ModelIng outCome (SYSTEMIC) project was developed to improve patient-oriented outcomes. Demographic, medical history, and stoma-related variables were obtained from patients at the wound ostomy clinic of the University Hospital of Padova, Italy. A follow-up assessment was completed 30 days after stoma surgery. Two (2) Bayesian machine learning approaches (naïve Bayes) were carried out to define an automatic peristomal complication predictive tool. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the possible effects of the prior choices on naïve Bayes performance. RESULTS: The algorithms were based on preliminary data from 52 patients (28 [53.3%] had a colostomy and 24 [46.7%] had an ileostomy). In terms of postoperative complications, no significant differences were observed between patients with different body mass indices (P = .16), those who underwent elective surgery compared with those who underwent emergency surgery (P = .66), and those who had or had not been preoperatively sited (P = .44). The algorithms showed an overall moderate ability to correctly classify patients according to the presence of peristomal complications (accuracy of nearly 70% in both models). In the the data-driven prior model, the probability of developing complications was greater for participants with malignancies or other diseases (0.3314 for both levels) than for patients with diverticula and bowel perforation (0.1453) or inflammatory bowel disease (0.1918). CONCLUSION: The development of an easy-to-use algorithm may help nonspecialized nurses evaluate the likelihood of future peristomal complications in patients with an ostomy and implement preemptive measures.
