O presente artigo é o resultado de um trabalho realizado junto a estudantes de enfermagem no interior da Paraíba cujo objetivo foi discutir a temática da violência sexual sofrida por mulheres. O método usado pesquisa-ação, realizada com 60 estudantes Para a turma, exibiu-se um curta-metragem “O silêncio de Lara” como iniciador da discussão, que buscou identificar a percepção dos estudantes sobre alguns temas referentes ao abuso. Como resultados, evidenciou-se a dificuldade da vítima em denunciar a violência, apontando a família e a escola como grupos que dificultam que isto aconteça também pelo fato da ausência de uma discussão apropriada dentro desses espaços no que se refere à temática. A educação sexual em ambos os espaços muitas vezes se limita à prevenção de ISTs e da gravidez precoce. Assim, esses espaços, perpetuam a dominação masculina e as atrocidades que a acompanha. Visto que se tratava de estudantes de enfermagem, a discussão da violência sexual encaminhou-se para a violência ginecológica comuns nos serviços de saúde. Discutiu-se também o despreparo das equipes que acolhem e prestam assistência às vítimas de violência sexual, como também a lentidão no atendimento à vítima de estupro e o motivo das mulheres serem estupradas.

A Telemedicina experimentou um crescimento exponencial durante a pandemia da COVID-19, emergindo como uma alternativa essencial na atenção primária de saúde em resposta à crise sanitária global. Objetivo: avaliar o uso da telemedicina como alternativa às visitas físicas na prestação de cuidados durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Método: trata-se de um estudo analítico, de abordagem qualitativa desenvolvido junto a oito profissionais enfermeiros que atuaram no telemonitoramento de individuos em isolamento domiciliar durante a pandemia no estado do Acre. Resultados: foi evidenciado que os profissionais enfrentaram desafios no uso da telemedicina, tais como limitações tecnológicas e a resistência dos individuos em relação a esse formato de atendimento. Entretanto, eles também perceberam uma série de benefícios, que incluíam o acesso contínuo e a segurança no atendimento no momento vigente. As dificuldades no telemonitoramento estavam relacionadas à dificuldade de acesso à tecnologia, limitações na coleta de dados e à resistência dos pacientes. Por outro lado, os desafios surgiram em decorrência da aceitação dessa modalidade e da disseminação de informações imprecisas. Os benefícios observados abrangiram o acesso contínuo aos cuidados de saúde, o fortalecimento dos laços entre pacientes e o profissional, a redução de deslocamentos e o aprimoramento das habilidades da equipe de saúde. Conclusão: os profissionais consideraram o telemonitoramento uma modalidade de atendimento muito útil e necessária, que desempenhou um papel fundamental durante a pandemia, apesar dos desafios enfrentados. A telemedicina foi considerada uma ferramenta promissora na atenção primária de saúde.
Las preferencias ciudadanas hacia alternativas de política fiscal en Estados descentralizados: armonización tributaria y competencia fiscal en España
Authors: Martínez-Vázquez Jorgez , Sanz-Arcega Eduardo , Tránchez-Martín José Manuel
Published: April 2024

La eventual desconexión entre las preferencias de los votantes y las políticas concretas es de especial interés en Estados descentralizados, donde cualquier iniciativa política también puede verse como una erosión o un refuerzo del autogobierno. El objetivo de este artículo es aplicar este marco conceptual a la armonización del Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones español (ISD), contrastando econométricamente si los ciudadanos que viven en comunidades autónomas que lideraron una carrera fiscal a la baja en este impuesto o en aquéllas más proclives al autogobierno se oponen en mayor medida que el resto de españoles a la armonización tributaria de este impuesto. Empíricamente, explotamos los datos del Barómetro Fiscal de 2019 del Instituto de Estudios Fiscales. Según nuestros principales resultados, los ciudadanos que viven en comunidades autónomas con un menor ISD y los ciudadanos que viven en algunas regiones donde gobiernan partidos nacionalistas tienen incluso más probabilidades de favorecer la armonización.
Productividad y redes de colaboración en las principales revistas españolas de sociología: un análisis del período 2001-2020 desde la perspectiva de género
Authors: García-Ramos Agustín , Martínez-Sánchez Wilfrid , Jiménez-Loaisa Francisco Javier
Published: April 2024

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo aplicar la perspectiva de género al estudio de la productividad y la colaboración científica en las principales revistas españolas de sociología. Para ello se ha analizado, mediante técnicas propias de la bibliometría y el análisis de redes sociales, la autoría de 3171 documentos publicados en dichas revistas durante el período 2001-2020. Partiendo de un abrumador predominio masculino, los resultados muestran una tendencia constante hacia la paridad, aunque esta solo se alcanza durante el lustro 2016-2020, y no en todos los indicadores. En conclusión, los avances en materia de género en la sociologíaespañola son todavía parciales, si bien no cabe responsabilizar de ello al sistema de vigilancia de la ciencia.
La juventud valenciana y su heterogeneidad ante la cuarta ola feminista. Discursos sobre cuestiones de género e igualdad
Authors: Gómez Nicolau Emma , Querol Vicent A.
Published: April 2024

Ante el contexto de emergente popularización del feminismo, exploramos los discursos sociales de las personas jóvenes de 18 a30 años del territorio valenciano a través de la técnica del grupo de discusión para analizar cómo se abordan las cuestiones de género e igualdad. Se diseñó una muestra estructural atendiendo a un doble eje: el volumen de capital global y los posicionamientos respecto al orden de género. A través de 9 grupos de discusión se analizan las diferentes posiciones discursivas frente al feminismo y las cuestiones de género, así como las de estrategias de cambio que despliegan. Las posiciones discursivas se analizan tanto en relación con la hipervisibilidad del feminismo en el contexto neoliberal como a la emergencia de la misoginia popular frente a la popularización de los feminismos.
Pobres con empleo: un análisis de transiciones de pobreza laboral en España
Authors: Lanau Alba , Lozano Mariona
Published: April 2024

España registra una de las tasas más altas de pobreza laboral en Europa y una alta inestabilidad laboral. Reducir la pobreza laboralrequiere comprender los mecanismos de entrada y salida de esta situación, y los factores protectores y de riesgo. Con datos de laEncuesta de Condiciones de Vida (2017-2020), mostramos que los hogares con menores tienen mayor probabilidad de pobreza laboral y esta es más persistente. Dicho esto, las entradas y salidas están mayormente asociadas a eventos laborales, y en menor medida a cambios en la composición del hogar. La concentración de pobreza laboral en hogares con menores corresponde a un proceso de erosión y acumulación de riesgos, por el que las pérdidas salariales tienen mayor efecto en el riesgo de pobreza y el sistema de protección social parece insuficiente.
Silences of the Dam: The Intimate Geographies of Ethnic Lao Well-Being on the Sesan River
Authors: Soukhaphon Akarath
Published: April 2024

In the locales where hydropower dams in the Mekong River Basin have been constructed, ethnically and economically marginalized groups who depend on rivers and their tributaries for well-being often bear the greatest burdens: loss of fisheries and river-based livelihoods, riverbank gardens,
and sacred sites, to name a few. In December 2018, the controversial Lower Sesan 2 Dam in northeastern Cambodia started operations, exacerbating old challenges and creating new ones for the riverine communities along the Sesan and Srepok Rivers. In this article, I employ a feminist political
ecology framework to explore the varying ways that personal and community well-being are impacted in two ethnic Lao locales of Sre Kor (Na Kor in Lao language) commune and Phluk village as a result of the Lower Sesan 2 Dam. While the dam has disrupted flows of water and fish habitats and migrations,
rendering new ecological circumstances, I argue that infrastructural violence can variably hide intimate geographies of well-being and un-wellness. Only by interrogating the silences of intimate geographies of the body and home in local villages and communal ethnic spaces will such impacts
of violence become visible.
A Review on Coronary Stents: With Polymers and without Polymers

Published: April 2024

Polymers have many uses in cardiology, such as coating matrices for drug-eluting stents and stent platforms (scaffolds) during coronary vascular intervention. Current research focuses on biodegradable polymers rather than permanent polymers. Their use may help to lessen undesirable events such as in-stent restenosis, late stent-thrombosis, and hypersensitivity reactions since they disintegrate once their purpose is served. This paper discusses factors affecting tissue and blood cell functions that should be taken into account when assessing the biocompatibility of stent polymers to improve physiologically suitable 3 Polymers are frequently used in cardiology, particularly in coronary vascular intervention, as coating matrices for drug-eluting stents and stent platforms (scaffolds). In addition to permanent polymers, biodegradable polymers are the subject of current study. Since they break down once their function is completed, using them may help prevent unfavorable outcomes such as in-stent restenosis, late stent thrombosis, and hypersensitivity reactions. This review discusses aspects of blood cell and tissue operations that should be taken into account to evaluate the biological compatibility of stent polymer compounds to improve physiologically relevant features after examining recent literature on polymers used in applications related to cardiology. The shape, difference, motion, and future of vascular cells can all be significantly influenced by the characteristics of the supporting material that they are grown. Lastly, a summary of techniques for measuring these parameters in a physiological setting will be provided.
Contribution of Unani Physicians in Tashrīḥ al-Raḥim (Anatomy of the Uterus): A Systematic Review
Authors: Khan Samreen , Ansari Nafasat A , Quadri Mohd A B , Malik Abdul , Khan Md I
Published: April 2024

The Unani System of Medicine pioneered in Greece and was developed by Arabs into an elaborate medical science based on the frame work of the teaching of Buqrāṭ (Hippocrates) and Jālīnūs (Galen). Since that time Unani Medicine has been known as Grek-o-Arab Medicine. Tashrīḥ-al-badan (Anatomy) is one of the oldest basic sciences. In Alexandria (1st recorded school of anatomy) where the renowned anatomical teachers Herophilus and Erasistratus dissected the human body and described many of its structures. Herophilus (335-280 B.C.) and Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) were the earliest who emphasized about the knowledge of human anatomy and laid the foundation of the subject, Tashrīḥ-al-badan (Anatomy). Galen's description of the "one-sex model" depicted the female and male reproductive organs as homologous anatomical structures, with differences only in location, size, and complexity. Woman is given prime importance in our classics since ancient times as it is the root cause for progeny. This paper enlightens the admirable work done by Unani physicians, who compiled their observations and research work about Tashrīḥ al-Raḥim (anatomy of uterus) which is present in our ancient Unani literature. To compile the contribution of Unani physicians in anatomy of uterus we search and collect the material from Unani classical reference books Al-Qānūn fi’l Ṭibb, Kāmil al-Ṣanā‘a al-Ṭibbiyya, Al-Manṣūrī fi’l Ṭibb, Modern books, Journal, Research Paper, and Online resources etc.

Published: April 2024

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nervous system. Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in PD. Ongoing research is focused on discovering new plant sources and developing alternative methods of production to meet the increasing demand for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Ethnopharmacognosy plays a vital role in bridging traditional knowledge with modern science, and the screening of natural compounds from edible plants is a valuable approach to discovering new therapeutic agents. Hence, the exploration of plants and their bioactive compounds for drug development is an ongoing and promising field. This paper embodies results on neuroprotective property of Mucuna monosperma (MM), two major bioactive compounds namely l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) and Ursolic acid were identified and isolated by Prep-HPLC and Column chromatography respectively. Further, quantified the isolated compounds by HPLC. The antioxidant property of crude, L-Dopa and Ursolic acid were scrutinized and verified through DPPH and Nitric oxide scavenging assay.  To evaluate the neuroprotective property and anti-ageing effect of bioactive compounds, negative geotaxis, courtship behavior and longevity studies were made in Transgenic PD line of Drosophila melanogaster against oxidative stress status.  Result reveals that the climbing ability, courtship behaviors and longevity were significantly increased in PD lines (Elva/SNCA-A30P) under stress conditions. Further it was noticed that synergetic effects of Ursolic acid along with L-Dopa showed excellent result.
Isolation and Characterization of Rhizobacteria from Soil and Its Efficiency as Plant Growth- Promoting Microbes
Authors: Ingawale Monal , Patil Sandhya , Tiwary Mukesh , Mane Sayali , Waman Mohan
Published: April 2024

Rhizosphere is the soil environment where the plant root is available and is a zone of maximum microbial activity resulting in a confined nutrient pool in which essential macro-and micronutrients are extracted. The microbial population present in the rhizosphere is relatively different from that of its surroundings due to the presence of root exudates that function as a source of nutrients for microbial growth. Among all these interactions, those resulting in symbiotic and non-symbiotic nitrogen fixation are considerably important. In recent years, the use of bacteria (rhizobacteria) to promote plant growth has increased in several regions of the world and has acquired relevant importance in developing countries that are the producers of raw materials for food.In the present study Rhizobacteria was isolated from the soil and the production of IAA and phosphate solubilisatrion was studied. The effect of PGPR was done on Mat seeds (matki) and black-eyed peaseeds (chawali) on the growth of plants.

Published: April 2024

Perkembangan teknologi informasi yang pesat telah menjadi peran yang sangat penting untuk pertukaran informasi atau pengiriman data dari satu terminal komputer ke terminal komputer yang lain. Kecepatan pengiriman sangat bergantung pada ukuran dari informasi atau data tersebut. Data dengan ukuran besar akan memakan waktu pengiriman yang lebih lama dibandingkan dengan data yang memiliki ukuran data yang lebih kecil, karena tidak dapat tertampung pada media penyimpanan. Format file audio adalah format file untuk menyimpan data audio digital pada sistem komputer. Salah satuformat file audio adalah MP3 yang bisa membuat seseorang mendengarkan lagu secara digital, tidak perlu menggunakan kaset atau CD seperti zaman dulu dan memungkinkan jutaan orang diseluruh dunia untuk saling bertukar rekaman musik melalui komputer yang terhubung jaringan internet. Penyimpanan data tersebut, tidak bisa hanya dilakukan dengan format file yang tersedia. Maka dari itu diperlukan proses kompresi file. Dalam kompresi data terdapat 3 faktor penting yang perlu diperhatikan yaitu: ratio commpression, compression ratio, dan space saving. Setelah dilakukan implementasi dan pengujian sistem dapat diketahui bahwa algoritma Invert Elias Delta memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan algoritma Fibonacci pada kompresi file audio dengan hasil akhir menggunakan metode eksponensial, algoritma Invert Elias Delta dengan nilai akhir 10,217 % sedangkan algoritma Fibonacci 11,074% . Sehingga semakin tinggi total nilai yang diperoleh maka akan semakin tinggi jumlah usaha yang dilakukan oleh algoritma tersebut

Authors: Sunday François Xavier , Uwineza Yvonne , Ndahayo Ezechiel , Ishimwe Irene Patrick , Rajeswaran Lakshmi , Umugwaneza Maryse
Published: April 2024

Farming decisions on crop choices are guided by different factors including natural conditions, household needs, traditions, stakeholder recommendations, and productivity. The best decision varies for each farmer based on specific circumstances. There are both benefits and challenges in farmers’ crop growing experience. In Rwanda, agriculture employs 70% of the population, contributing 33% to the GDP across three main agricultural seasons. However, food and nutritional insecurity remain pressing issue affecting both human and economic progress. This study explored the rationale, benefits, and challenges of farmers’ choices. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, conducting six focus group discussions (FGDs) in each participating district. Each FGD comprised 10 participants, ensuring gender balance. Recruitment was facilitated by local community health workers (CHWs), with participants providing informed consent. Trained data collectors utilized voice recorders to collect the data. The researchers transcribed the data verbatim, anonymized the data, and translated the same data into English. Data analysis revealed four key themes: reasons for cultivation, factors influencing crop choice, farmers’ livelihoods, and farming challenges. Findings highlight the need for holistic and context-specific solutions in Rwandan agricultural development, emphasizing stakeholder collaboration to support informed decision-making and sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Aka Kadio Saint Rodrigue , Akpavi Sêmihinva , Dibi N’Da Hyppolite
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we present a review of the agro-climatological-related risk of yam production and models developed for yam yield prediction in Côte d’Ivoire. Four official national platforms (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), National Center for Agricultural Research (CNRA), National Agency for Rural Development Support (ANADER), Airport, Aeronautical and Meteorological Exploitation and Development Company (SODEXAM)) and six scientific search engines were investigated in this study including Theses.fr, African Journal Online, Science Direct, Google Scholar, WorldCat and Semantic Scholar. Using the boolean parameters “AND”, “OR” and “()” to facilitate and direct our search, we were able to define four key phrases comprising the topic words that were used in the search. Exclusion and inclusion criteria for the selection of documents were also defined in advance, as well as the criteria for reviewing and extracting information from selected documents. The results showed that no work in the field of agro-climatological risks related to yam production and yam yield modeling in Côte d’Ivoire was available on these online research platforms at the time of this literature review. However, other studies similar to the scope of this review on yam exist in several West African countries, particularly Ghana, Benin and Nigeria, and also in the Caribbean. These studies use simulation models such as the Approach for Land Use Sustainability (SALUS) model, the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model and the Cropping Systems Simulation (CROPSYST) model for growth, yield modeling and the influence of climatic parameters on yam. In addition to these models, artificial intelligence through machine learning models was also seen in this review as an excellent tool for yield prediction for several crops including yams.

Published: April 2024

Leaf rust caused by Hemileia vastatrix Berk & Br. is the main disease that attack coffee plants all over the world. The disease causes 35-50% of yield loss in average in Brazil. The disease is present in all the countries that cultivate coffee (Coffea arabica L. and C. canephora L.). Resistance of coffee to leaf rust is the main method of disease control. But the great variability of the pathogen makes it very difficult. In the world and in Brazil there are more than 50 and 16 races of the pathogen, respectively. In Brazil there are seven research institutions that have been working with breeding programs against coffee leaf rust. The main source of resistance to coffee leaf rust used by all the research institutions in Brazil came from ‘Centro de Investigação das Ferrugens do Cafeeiro-CIFC’ in Oeiras, Portugal. They are: Híbrido de Timor (HdT) CIFC 832-1 and HdT CIFC 832 and HdT CIFC 2570. Crosses were made at CIFC with a variety Caturra and Vila Sarchi and sent to Brazil, Colombia and some countries of Central America and Caribean. The countries that received the germplasm of CIFC back crossed them with varieties Catuai and Mundo Novo. Crossing HdT with Caturra originated the group Catimor and HdT with Vila Sarchi the group Sarchimor. Other source of resistance to leaf rust came from Coffea canephora crossed with C. arabica originating the cultivar Icatu. But the great majority of the resistant cultivar came from Catimor and Sarchimor. More than 50 coffee varieties have been launched with resistance to the leaf rust in the last 40 years in Brazil. But only few of them remain with vertical resistance to all the races of H. vastatrix. Horizontal resistance is more common on C. canephora var. conilon and C. canephora var. robusta than in C. arabica. This revision has the purpose to relate to the scientific comunity the breeding programs against coffee leaf rust in Brazil.

Authors: Arshad Najibullah , Kabuli Mohammad Saber , Farooqi Musa , Erfani Ali Naqi
Published: April 2024

Food Insecurity has significantly increased in both developed and developing countries, causing suffering for people due to lack of food. Food Insecurity has been mostly observed during major crises, such as the global economic crisis in 2008 and the Covid-19 outbreak in 2019. Despite fundamental efforts in fighting poverty, Afghanistan continues to struggle with food insecurity with a large proportion of its population living below the poverty line. Four districts of Kabul city were measured for Food Insecurity in which people were unable to obtain the necessary calories within 24 hours. At the present time, the social problem of Food Insecurity in Afghanistan is becoming more serious as people’s lives depend on humanitarian aid and donations. The Foster Greer Thorbecke method of measuring Food Insecurity was utilized in this paper to measure Food Insecurity in four selected districts of Kabul city. Household opinions have been collected via questionnaires and in-person interviewing. The results of this research show that District 13 has the highest level of Food Insecurity, with 70% of residents unable to have sufficient food. Subsequently, district 1 has 65% of people unable to have sufficient calories, district 16 has 62 %and district 8 has 61 %. This paper aims to highlight the efforts of Afghanistan in alleviating food insecurity with a focus on the impact of COVID-19, unfair government policies, bad security, weak infrastructure, low literacy level, medical services shortage, high unemployment rate and lack of modern technology that hinder Afghanistan from accessing enough food. We conclude that Afghanistan would need to develop update policies to mitigate food insecurity.

Authors: Hassan Mohamed Ahmed Salih , Alsharef Omer Mansuor
Published: April 2024

Climate change poses significant challenges to coastal communities worldwide, necessitating the development and implementation of effective adaptation strategies. This research undertakes a rigorous evaluation of the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) associated with various climate adaptation measures tailored to coastal settings. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing economic, environmental, and social dimensions, the study aims to elucidate the intricate interplay between costs and benefits inherent in these strategies. Through meticulous data collection and methodological rigor, key factors influencing the cost-effectiveness of adaptation interventions are identified and analyzed. The findings reveal nuanced insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of different adaptation approaches, shedding light on their relative merits and limitations. Moreover, this research contributes to advancing the theoretical underpinnings of CBA in the context of climate adaptation, offering practical recommendations for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders tasked with enhancing the resilience of coastal communities. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this study underscores the imperative of informed decision-making and proactive action in safeguarding coastal regions against the impacts of climate change.
Robust ﬁngerprint recognition approach based on diagonal slice of polyspectra in the polar space
Authors: Alaoui Ismaili
Published: April 2024

Although fingerprint recognition is a mature technology and nowadays commercial state-of-the-art systems can be successfully used in a number of real applications, not all the problems have been solved and the research is still very active in the field. This paper presents a new approach for estimating the shift and rotation parameters between fingerprint images stored in the dadabase that operates in the third-order frequency-domain measure called the auto-bispectrum, which, allows us to estimate the shift and the rotation separately. The diagonal slices and their spectra of auto- and cross-bispectrum are proposed. The rotation parameters are estimated from the remaining polar sampled the third-order spectrum using cross-correlation, and then, after compensating for rotation, we may easily estimate the translational component, e.g., by using phase correlation.Experimental evidence of this performance is presented, and the mathematical reasons behind these characteristics are explained in depth. We compare our approach in a simulation to other frequency-domain fingerprint recognition algorithms. We find that our algorithm can better estimate shift and rotation parameters than the other methods.
Article Drop and Case Marking in Romanian
Authors: Giurgea Ion
Published: April 2024

In Romanian, the definite article cannot be overtly realized if the maximal nominal projection contains only the lexical N and occurs in the complement position of (most) accusative-taking prepositions. Arguing that a definite D is present in the underlying syntactic representation, I describe article drop as a PF-phenomenon. I follow Dobrovie-Sorin’s (2007) idea that article drop is conditioned by a complex head formation operation that assigns a X0-status to DPs of the form [D+def N0], but I  show that her proposal of extending complex head formation to P is contradicted by the behavior of article drop in coordination. Therefore, I propose a different explanation for the limitation of article drop to the complement of P: based on the fact that article drop also occurs with prepositional case markers (which are K heads rather than Ps), I propose that article drop only occurs when D lacks Case. Underlying this analysis is a novel theory of case marking in Romanian: I propose that inflectional marking involves null Ks that trigger spreading of a Case feature to their complement (following Norris 2014, 2018), whereas prepositional marking involves an overt K and no feature spreading. Prepositions that trigger article drop are assimilated to K heads in that they take a DP, rather than a KP, complement, playing K’s role of closing-off the nominal extended projection.

Scoring of Essays in L1 in the Secondary School-Leaving Exam
Authors: Zajc Ivana
Published: April 2024

The article is a comparative analysis of nine different types of essays as a part of the secondary school-leaving exam in L1 on a literary topic from the point of view of their scoring systems. In terms of scoring, two different types of essays have been found. On the one hand, there are essays that give a higher percentage of points in the category of language that is understood as the correct use of grammar, punctuation, etc. On the other hand, there are essays that give a lower percentage of points for the category of language that is understood differently, namely as efficient communication, and give a higher percentage of points for the categories pertaining to content – literary knowledge, argumentation, etc. The Slovenian essay is categorised as the first type; possible changes are proposed for it to be based on the characteristics of the second type of essay. In other words, the use of a descriptive-criteria scoring system is proposed, with a stronger emphasis on literary knowledge, argumentation and personal response.
Analysis of Student-Related Social Stressors among School Teachers
Authors: Kozjek Tatjana , Erčulj Vanja Ida
Published: April 2024

Teachers who have day-to-day relations with students are exposed to mistreatment by students; therefore, they are daily exposed to social stress, which affects their moods. The purpose of the research was to identify the most perceived student-related social stressors (SSS) contributing to the social stress of school teachers in elementary and high schools. Moreover, to explore their relationship to the positive and negative teachers' affect. An online survey was employed for data collection by using publicly available addresses of elementary and high schools in Slovenia. The results show that the most often perceived SSS are disliked students and disproportionate student expectations in both elementary and high schools; a statistically significant relationship between SSS and teachers' affect was found. The principals of elementary and high schools should pay attention to maximizing teachers' competencies to improve their classroom management and enable the teachers to learn about cognitive strategies for moderating mood effects on judgements about social events.

Authors: Jelisavac Danijela
Published: April 2024

V pričujočem besedilu obravnavamo tematiko izgorelosti in zadovoljstva učiteljev z delom v slovenskih osnovnih šolah. Opravili smo kvantitativno raziskavo v času epidemije covida-19, v kateri sta bila uporabljena v slovenščino prevedena in standardizirana vprašalnika: Vprašalnik o izgorelosti na delovnem mestu in Vprašalnik o zadovoljstvu pri delu. Ugotavljali smo stopnjo izgorelosti učiteljev. Izmed treh dimenzij izgorelosti so učitelji izkazali najvišjo stopnjo izgorelosti na dimenziji čustvene izčrpanosti. Regresijski model je v naši raziskavi pokazal, da dimenziji izgorelosti (čustvena izčrpanost in osebna izpolnitev) vplivata na zadovoljstvo učiteljev z njihovim delom. Izsledki naše raziskave nudijo vpogled v učiteljevo doživljanje izgorelosti in zadovoljstva z delom ter lahko služijo kot smernice šolam in vodstvom pri oblikovanju strategij preprečevanja in spremljanja izgorelosti ter zadovoljstva učiteljev pri delu, načrtovanju in organizaciji dela zaposlenih.

Published: April 2024

Den här artikeln är en påbyggnad på den ganska omfattande kunskapsbas som redan finns tillgänglig kring släkten Sondell. Den innehåller ny information om stamfadern Nils Eriksson Sundelius ursprung. Därtill kompletterar, och i något fall rättar, vi vedertagna uppgifter om efterföljande släktled. Vår ambition har varit att där tidigare arbeten lutat sig mot andrahandskällor, för det mesta litteratur i form av äldre herdaminnen, har vi i stället försökt att uppsöka och referera till primärkällorna.
Artikeln har avgränsats till att i släkttabellen omfatta fyra generationer, inklusive stamfader Nils Eriksson Sundelius, vilket i stora drag spänner över tidsperioden 1630–1820. I de fall där döttrar Sondell har gift in sig i andra släkter har vi inte redovisat deras avkommor.
Som ett bidrag till kunskapen kring metodik har vi införlivat ett avsnitt där vi genom några exempel kopplad till den här artikeln visar på värdet av avhandlingar som källa för släktskapsuppgifter.
Alternative method to determine linear transformations
Authors: Caldeira Jhone , Berto Lucas Matheus de Lima Dal
Published: April 2024

This work proposes to present some discussions about techniques for determining a linear transformation from an action in a basis of its domain. We will approach, in parallel to a well-known technique and widely used in the basic bibliography of Linear Algebra, another method of determination of a linear transformation once the images of the vectors of a basis of the domain are given. This method was tried, at first, in exercises from books usually used as references in the Linear Algebra discipline and based on practical experience, it was developed in a more descriptive and generalized way. Finally, we discuss compatibility between methods.

A pancreatite aguda é uma inflamação do pâncreas, muitas vezes causada pela autodigestão do órgão por enzimas. Cerca de 90% dos casos são leves, enquanto os restantes 10% desenvolvem necrose pancreática, resultando em pancreatite necro-hemorrágica. Infecções bacterianas, como Escherichia coli e Pseudomonas, podem complicar casos graves, frequentemente associados à síndrome da resposta inflamatória sistêmica (SIRS). O pâncreas produz pró-enzimas, como tripsinogênio e quimiotripsinogênio, que são ativadas no intestino delgado. Na pancreatite, ocorre ativação precoce dessas enzimas no pâncreas, levando à auto-digestão. Além disso, a tripsina pode ativar fatores que promovem a formação de microtrombos nos vasos pancreáticos, contribuindo para a necrose. Outros mecanismos incluem vasoconstrição, isquemia e translocação bacteriana. As principais causas são a litíase biliar e abuso de álcool, mas também podem incluir hipertrigliceridemia, hipercalcemia e infecções. Os sintomas típicos incluem dor abdominal intensa, náuseas e vômitos. Na pancreatite necrosante, podem ocorrer complicações graves, como febre alta, desidratação e choque, além de sinais de gravidade como icterícia e equimoses. O diagnóstico é baseado nos critérios de Atlanta, que consideram sintomas clínicos, exames laboratoriais e imagem. A TC contrastada é fundamental para identificar necrose e infecção. A necrose pancreática infectada é comum e requer manejo adequado, evitando intervenções cirúrgicas precoces. O tratamento conservador envolve antibioticoterapia empírica com carbapenêmicos ou quinolonas associadas ao metronidazol. A antibioticoprofilaxia é controversa e pode piorar o quadro. É essencial avaliar individualmente o uso de antibióticos para garantir o melhor manejo da pancreatite necrosante aguda.
Poezie și pandemie. Textualizarea realității în poemul autoficțional
Authors: Victoria Sorina Maria
Published: April 2024

The thesis of this paper is connected to those poems that activate a semantic renewal of a different kind of “real” and explore the poetic imaginary of the coronavirus, focusing on how Rodica Braga translates the fear, chaos, shock and bewilderment caused by the pandemic into her poetry. In a close reading analysis we will investigate how the pandemic, with all its effects, has reconstructed reality through a “new normality”, identifying, also, the paradigm shifts that this concept has encountered . We will also focus on how the confinement led to a different kind of reflection of reality and life in writing. Also, in the subsequent interpretative exercise, we will analyse the presence of the author, at a figurative level, in the semantics of autofi ctional lyrical discourse and observe with the help of relevant examples from Rodica Braga's poems how a broad interpretation of this concept can be useful for understanding the acting roles and avatars adopted by the “I” in the author's works.
Literary Review of Into the Desert
Authors: Robertson Hsiu Ling
Published: April 2024

The changing culture of the Desert in Western China is described in detail in Xuemo’s works. One of his novels, Into the Desert, focuses on two female characters, Ying’er and Lanlan, who are bartered into marriage because their families are poor. They come to believe that their hardships in life are due to their poverty and can be alleviated by running away to Salt Lake, a place in the northwestern region, will improve their lives. During this trip, they encounter, overcome and survive many perils. When they reach their destination and struggle to reach their goals, they come to realize that they are still ordinary mortal women who can be abused without mercy by others. They finally admit that against their wills, they and many other women are powerless and must submit to their predestinated fates. The broader implication of this story is that women live at the mercy of men as the ultimate victims. Into the Desert, describes this suffering and, in so doing, stresses that it needs to be alleviated, especially among the rural women now being trampled on repeatedly, by reforming the way of life is passed down from generation to generation.
Conceptual clarifications on some terms related to the modernization of the villages of Wallachia in 1831-1858: systematization, regularization, alignment
Authors: Grigore Vasile
Published: April 2024

The research undertaken here focuses on the urban modernization of the villages of Wallachia from the period of the Organic Regulation (1831-1858). It intends to specify the semantic sense of the terms by which this modernization is expressed: systematization, regularization, alignment. For this, I do the analysis of archival documents and works related to the systematization of villages. The study identifies specific limitations and definitions by the authors' field of activity and specifies the semantic evolution of the term systematization with reference to the regulatory period. The research and its conclusions allow a better understanding of the process of modernization and Europeanization through which the Romanian space and by extension, the South-Eastern European space went through in the first half of the 19th century. With clear concepts we have a right definition of the entire historical process.
La batalla contra la contaminación plástica desde el derecho internacional público: ¿Puede el futuro tratado ayudar a ganarla?
Authors: Cocchini Andrea
Published: April 2024

Resumen:

En 2022, la Asamblea de Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (UNEA) adoptó la resolución 5/14 para la preparación, dentro de 2024, del proyecto para un nuevo tratado internacional contra el plástico que debería ser el primer convenio sobre el ciclo de vida completo de los plásticos con el objetivo declarado de “poner fin” a la contaminación que estos provocan. Para intentar conseguir este difícil resultado, el futuro acuerdo se basará en la experiencia acumulada en los últimos cuarenta años, sacando provecho del marco jurídico internacional que, directa o indirectamente, regula la materia. Sin embargo, apoyarse en los instrumentos jurídicos internacionales ya existentes no será suficiente para conseguir el resultado ambicioso que el nuevo tratado se propone. El artículo, después de analizar los tratados internacionales que inciden en la contaminación por plásticos, sugiere que el futuro convenio debería incluir una referencia explícita al estándar de diligencia debida y a los principios de precaución y prevención que se derivan de él. Estos podrían servir de incentivos para que los Estados hagan todo lo que está en su mano para reducir progresivamente e, idealmente, cesar la producción cada vez mayor de plásticos innecesarios, esto es, el obstáculo infranqueable para lograr una verdadera economía circular también para los productos de plástico.

Abstract:

In 2022 the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) adopted resolution 5/14 for the preparation, by 2024, of the draft for a new international treaty against plastic, which should be the first convention on the full life cycle of plastics with the declared objective of putting an end to the pollution they cause. To try to achieve this difficult result, the future agreement will build on the experience accumulated over the last 40 years, taking advantage of the international legal framework that, directly or indirectly, regulates the issue. However, relying on existing international legal instruments will not be enough to achieve the ambitious goal that the new treaty proposes. The article, after analysing the international treaties that have an impact on plastic pollution, suggests that the future convention should include an explicit reference to the due diligence standard and the precautionary and preventive principles that derive from it. These could serve as incentives for States to do everything in their power to progressively reduce and, ideally, eliminate the ever-increasing production of unnecessary plastics, i.e. the insurmountable obstacle to achieving a true circular economy also for plastic products.
Freedom of religion in an enfeebled Europe. Is it possible to turn decline into opportunity?
Authors: Ferrari Silvio
Published: April 2024

The article discusses how the decline of Europe has affected state-religion relationship. It focuses on the notion of secular state, de-privatization of religion and the legal regulation of religious freedom. The second part of the paper explores the possibility to turn the European decline into an opportunity for intercultural dialogue with non-European civilizations. It identifies the contributions the European model of state-religion relations can offer in this dialogue and what Europe can learn from the experience of non-European countries in the management of religious and cultural diversity.
