Suicide note- A vital clue in forming opinion to cause of death
Authors: Sharma Mukul , Chandra Vikash , Sahu Manas R
Published: June 2022

Suicide, is one of the most painful way of death and even more so painful for the near and dear ones. Suicide note if recovered is heart breaking, as it becomes the last and one way communication from the deceased to his family/ friends. In almost 95% of cases it is written in own handwriting and consisting of 10-15 sentences or small paragraph. While there have been studies related to this and was observed that number of words usually doesn’t make a difference between complete and half attempt suicide. To understand a suicide note, Relevance theory was proposed which is based on a principle that "every utterance conveys the information that it is relevant enough for it to be worth the addressee's effort to process it". The note which was recovered from the deceased`s pocket and whereby mentioning that “life had become painful and stuck in a situation from where he couldn’t get out”, clearly conveys about the stress and problems in his life, though did not mention clearly or any specifics. A study conducted in USA regarding the words used in suicide notes and observed that words referencing to inclusive space like “with” or “include” are not usually used which is similar to our case and it signifies isolation or lack of belongingness.

Authors: Ramalingam S  , Narayanan S  , Narendar R
Published: June 2022

Deaths due to accidental ingestion, suicidal consumption and homicide poisoning with colchicine alkaloid containing extracts have been documented and reported in innumerable literature across the world. The lowest reported lethal dose of oral colchicine are 7-26 mg. Gloriosa superba, regionally known as Kodalikkizhangu is a highly poisonous flowering plant, seen wide spread in south and south East Asia. Colchicine is concentrated in the seeds and tubers of the plant. Colchicine content of Gloriosa tuber is 0.3%. These tubers are often mistaken as yams and accidentally ingested. Ingestion of tubers of Gloriosa results in colchicine poisoning. Toxicity of Gloriosa is due to the anti-mitotic effect of its toxic principle namely colchicine and Gloriosin on the rapidly proliferating cells such as stomach and oesophagus. Cardiac manifestation of Gloriosa poisoning is due to the impaired cardio myocyte conduction and contractility. Deaths in these cases are due to multi-organ failure. No specific antidote is available. A 71-year-old male who was a chronic alcoholic and known hypertensive got admitted in toxicology ward, with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, 11 hours after alleged consumption of tubers of a wild plant. 24 hours after ingestion the patient succumbed to death and post-mortem was done to establish cause of death.

Authors: Gill Harsheen
Published: June 2022

Liquidity is important to the efficient running of any business. Maintaining liquidity on a daily basis is a critical part of managing working capital to guarantee that the company works effectively and achieves its obligations.Efforts to boost profitability, on the other hand, are likely to lower businesses' liquidity, and a focus on liquidity may have an adverse effect on profitability. The study's major goal was to determine if organizations can make a profit while retaining essential liquidity, or whether they are willing to compromise liquidity to make a bigger profit. The data has been analyzed using Motaal's Liquidity Assessment Test and Spearman's Rank Coefficient of Correlation. This study makes an attempt to examine the link between the sample businesses' liquidity and profitability, as well as the possibility of bankruptcy. Among the ten selected cement companies, UltraTech Cement, Shree Cement, Ambuja Cement, ACC, J.K. Cement, Ramco, Birla Corporation, JK Lakshmi, Rain Industries, and India Cement, UltraTech Cement, Shree Cement, Ambuja Cement, ACC, J.K. Cement, Ramco, Birla Corporation, JK Lakshmi, Rain Industries, India Cement and UltraTech.  Shree Cement, according to Motaal's liquidity test, has the best liquidity status.

Authors: Alvarado Nathalie , Forero Daniela , Peña Norma , Wolfenzon Denisse
Published: June 2022

La trata de personas (TDP) es un fenómeno criminal creciente que afecta a millones de personas en el mundo. Desde el año 2003, el número de víctimas identificadas y de tratantes condenados ha aumentado a nivel global y en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Esto puede ser resultado de un aumento de los casos, de una mayor capacidad para detectar a las víctimas por parte de las autoridades, o de ambos. Con base en fuentes secundarias y discusiones de la Serie de Diálogos Técnicos de Trata de Personas (2020-2022), este documento presenta aspectos clave de la capacidad institucional de los países de ALC para responder a este delito. La Sección 1 presenta un panorama actual de la situación del delito de TDP en ALC y describe cómo las características de este crimen han ido evolucionando en las últimas décadas. La Sección 2 muestra algunas acciones de fortalecimiento de capacidades institucionales que los países de la región han implementado para responder a este flagelo de manera activa y coordinada. La Sección 3 resalta la importancia del abordaje desde una perspectiva integral y multisectorial para responder de manera oportuna, coordinada y sostenible a un fenómeno tan complejo como la TDP. La Sección 4 presenta algunas acciones claves para fortalecer las capacidades de respuesta de las instituciones del sector de seguridad y justicia en la detección, prevención y persecución de la trata de personas, así como para la protección de las víctimas. Por último, algunas iniciativas prometedoras en las áreas clave de prevención, protección y persecución que han realizado los países de la región con el objetivo de prevenir, proteger a las víctimas y perseguir el delito de TDP.
El pensamiento iusfilosófico de Ignacio Agramonte y Loynaz: concepciones sobre Derecho Administrativo
Authors: Marrero-Fente Raul
Published: June 2022

Ignacio Agramonte y Loynaz (1841-1873) es una de las figuras históricas de la lucha por la Independencia de Cuba. Aunque su acción política y militar es famosa, su etapa de estudiante de Derecho es poco conocida. Este artículo es una aproximación a un pensamiento temprano de Agramonte sobre Derecho Administrativo en ocasión de una sabatina en la Real y Literaria Universidad de La Habana en 1862. En el mismo se discuten aspectos concretos del derecho administrativo como la centralización y las estructuras políticas administrativas que pone a debatir, la articulación de un modelo estatal diferente y el uso de fuentes pocos comunes.
Habilidades innovadoras a favor de la praxis en mediación
Authors: García Alarcón Ruth Elizabeth , Núñez Varón Jaidivi
Published: June 2022

El presente texto aporta información relevante a mediadores y mediadoras que están interesados en actualizar sus habilidades y destrezas para que la construcción de acuerdos sea óptima sin causar ningún daño a los intereses y derechos de las partes. Desde el enfoque de Acción sin Daño, se invita a reflexionar en la forma en que se desarrolla el diálogo en la mediación para redimensionarlo, identificando cómo se moviliza a las partes en un reposicionamiento frente a la controversia. Desde estas acciones, se pretende que el mediador(a) experimentado(a) realice una mirada estratégica y se cuestione si ha de orientar a las partes hacia la transformación de creencias, a veces incluso culturales, que perpetúan el conflicto y que impiden vislumbrar las soluciones adecuadas. El texto aporta herramientas en circunstancias puntuales de la mediación donde habilidades como la vinculación del silencio, la creación de un contexto de cooperación, así como la generación de un marco de credibilidad aportan liderazgo en la actuación del mediador(a). La propuesta se construye a partir de la experiencia acumulada de las autoras, desde sus miradas psicológica y jurídica, como mediadoras y también capacitadoras en procesos de formación, tanto en Colombia como en Ecuador.
Al margen de los cuidados: experiencias de (des)protección sociosanitaria de trabajadoras del sexo en Oporto, Portugal
Authors: Santos Raquel , Sacramento Octávio , Mendonça Vera
Published: June 2022

Teniendo en cuenta las marginaciones que recaen sobre la prostitución, analizamos los retos sociales y sanitarios que subyacen al ejercicio del trabajo sexual y la intervención realizada en este ámbito. Partimos de las experiencias y entendimientos de trabajadoras sexuales que ejercen su actividad en la ciudad de Oporto (Portugal), en un intento de comprender cuáles son las principales vulnerabilidades a las que se enfrentan y cómo viven la relación con los servicios del Estado y con la intervención sociosanitaria dirigida a ellas. La investigación de campo siguió un enfoque cualitativo basado en un estudio de caso de un proyecto de intervención. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo, entre los meses de marzo y junio de 2019, mediante investigación documental, ejercicios de observación participante y entrevistas semiestructuradas al personal técnico y a seis trabajadoras sexuales. Como resultado de esta investigación, se ha constatado que las trabajadoras del sexo están sometidas a graves restricciones que limitan su recurso a las redes de apoyo informales y su acceso a los dispositivos de protección del Estado en términos de apoyo social y atención sanitaria. Es más, el proyecto de intervención de reducción de riesgos que apoya a estas mujeres, aunque valorado, asume un fuerte sesgo de prevención epidemiológica y favorece un enfoque individualista y asistencialista, dejando al descubierto otras vulnerabilidades sociales identificadas por ellas mismas.

Authors: Grillo Ricardo , Khemiss Mehdi , Da Silva Yuri Slusarenko
Published: June 2022

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the cytotoxic and genotoxic impacts of waterpipe smoking on oral health. The databases MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Dimensions were searched to find studies evaluating whether waterpipe smokers exhibited any cytotoxic or genotoxic effects on their oral cells compared to non-smokers, with regard to mouth neoplasms. Particularly, changes in DNA methylation and p53 expression were assessed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were adopted for the systematic review. Review Manager was utilised for statistical analysis with a significance level at P <0.05. To assess the grades of the included articles, a risk of bias analysis was summarised. A forest plot, including some of the included articles included, was created regarding the different grades. A total of 20 studies were included in this review. The results showed that waterpipe smoking has cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on oral cells, with a risk difference of 0.16. Although the published articles are few in number, all confirm the devastating effects of waterpipe smoking related to the carcinogenicity. Waterpipe smoking is harmful to oral health. It causes a series of detrimental cellular and genetic modifications such as acanthosis, epithelial dysplasia and hyperparakeratosis. In addition, waterpipe smoke contains several carcinogenic compounds. As it releases many harmful organic compounds, waterpipe smoking increases the incidence of oral cancer.

Published: June 2022

Objective: This study aims to assess the incidence of inappropriate hospital stay and to identify reasons behind inappropriate hospitalisation. Methods: The study was a retrospective cohort study included patients admitted under the care of General Internal Medicine. First, we calculated the average length of hospital stay for all included patients, and then we used Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol to examine admissions that exceeded the average length of hospital stay and then identify reasons for the inappropriate hospital stay. Results: There were 854 admissions during the study period. In this cohort, 53.1% were men, and the median age was 64 (IQR:44-75) years. There was a total of 6785.4 hospitalization days, and the average length of hospital stay was 5 (IQR:3-9) days. 31.9% of admissions (n=272 admissions) included inappropriate hospitalization days. 9.9 % (n=674 days) of hospitalization days were classified as inappropriate. Delay in complementary tests (29.0%), and unavailability of extra-hospital resources (21.7%) were the most common reasons associated with inappropriate hospital stay. Old Age was associated with increased inappropriate hospital stay. Conclusion: A significant proportion of hospitalisation days were inappropriate due to hospital related factors. Therefore, auditing hospital services, and investing in home-based care are among the top strategies which are likely to improve early discharge and minimize inappropriate hospital bed occupancy.

How can we Make you Stay? Identifying Motivating Factors to Volunteer Retention in Non-Profit Organizations
Authors: Cobos Liza , Templeton Amanda
Published: June 2022

Many non-profit organizations depend on volunteers to provide services to their clients thus helping to alleviate some of the costs and financial burdens non-profits face. A volunteer’s motivation and satisfaction drivers are varied thus making the task of attracting and retaining volunteers a difficult one. Since volunteers are a vital part of any non-profit and volunteer supported organization, retention initiatives are crucial to the organization’s success. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of organizational support, group integration, empowerment and participation efficacy on volunteer satisfaction and retention. Over 100 volunteers, from a Central Florida organization, were surveyed to: 1) measure their motivating factors and satisfaction with various aspects of their volunteer experience and 2) measure their intentions to remain as a volunteer. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression suggest that participation efficacy and organizational support are significant predictors to intent to remain with the organization.

Dialogue basis of Leo Tolstoy’s diary
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Tokarev Grigoriy V.
Published: June 2022

The article verifies the hypothesis that Leo Tolstoy’s diary has the form of a hidden dialogue of the writer with various subjects: with himself, with third parties, with God. Dialogue is understood as a form of individual development. The article determines that Leo Tolstoy’s diary represents a program of self-improvement, which is achieved through goal-setting and self-assessment. In the traditional perception of the diary genre, entries are interpreted as a form of autocommunication, carried out for the purpose of self-identification of the individual. The paper reveals that the form of the dialogue with oneself in some cases reaches the phase of the nominative multiple personality disorder. The writer defines himself as a third person: Tolstoy, Lev Nikolaevich, etc. The dialogue with oneself consists in evaluating one’s own actions, dispraising, moralizing, and goal-setting, and is one of the forms of self-development. The article establishes that Tolstoy looks upon the diary as a form of communication with third parties – readers of his notes. Diary entries of this type are aimed at modeling the diary readers’ behavior. One more type of communication is a dialogue with God. Tolstoy writes down many prayers, appeals to God, thinks about God, reflects with Him. He moves away from the idiomatic text of the prayer. Communication with God becomes intimate, containing a request for help in moral self-improvement. The semantic dominant of prayer is the good, benefit for others. Tolstoy excludes from prayers specific requests for material goods, i.e. common requests which people turn to God with. Leo Tolstoy’s diary is a heterogeneous genre formation, that is determined by the goals of the entries. The writer extends the functions of the diary. This feature determines the choice of communication tactics, the style of the diary. Tolstoy’s diary is a multi-genre formation that includes such sub-genres as a chronicle, explanation, a prayer, reasoning, reproach, accusation, etc.
Agreement/Disagreement in Belarusian: Review of the teaching aid by A. P. Latushko “Belarusian phrases of аgreement and disagreement” (Minsk, BSU. 2020. 135 p.)
Authors:   Belarusian State University, Nazarenko Yuliya V.
Published: June 2022

The review is a response to the publication of the teaching aid by A. P. Latushko “Belarusian phrases of Agreement and Disagreement”. The author presents inseparable phrases of agreement and disagreement as elements of the composition of a communicative act in the form of a dictionary with a theoretical preface. The relevance of this teaching aid is seen in the systematization of speech manifestations of one of the communicative categories based on Belarusian fiction. Using the method of continuous sampling, A. P. Latushko extracted more than 130 inseparable expressions of agreement and more than 150 expressions of disagreement (the inaccuracy of the quantity is due to the inevitable presence of phonetic, lexical, spelling, grammatical variants, for example, chort z vami/taboy), which actually represent one phrase, as well as optional introductory, insertion elements, modal words and particles ( vos? і dobra, slauna, tsudouna, tsudounen´ka; , paglyadzim; <vy/ty< (pa) chladzi (tse) and so on.). The material presented in the peer-reviewed scientific and methodological work of A. P. Latushko confirms the thesis that in fact we communicate not with ideal units of the language system, but with real units of speech – a confirmation of the popular linguistic theory, which is sometimes called the Russian analogue of the theory of speech acts – the theory of speech genres, the foundations of which were laid by M. M. Bakhtin, and deeply and in detail investigated by professor V. V. Dementyev. The teaching aid presents a successful attempt to acquaint the reader with the speech implementation of the linguistic category of agreement and disagreement in the Belarusian language based on 1100 contexts of Belarussian drama and prose.
Voloshinov and Vossler: Allies without knowing it
Authors:   University of Lausanne, Sériot Patrick
Published: June 2022

Between both solutions to the crisis of positivism at the beginning of the 20th century, V. N. Voloshinov chose K. Vossler’s idealistic neophilology, entirely rejecting Saussurianism. Voloshinov transposed Vossler’s stylistic individual idealism into sociological concepts: “spirit” becomes “ideology”, “culture” becomes “superstructure”, and “idealistic neophilology” becomes “sociological poetics”. This terminological rearrangement has caused constant misunderstandings in the interpretation of the book “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language”. Indeed, here is a source of interesting fluctuations in the assessment of structuralism: the holistic approach, which requires starting from the Whole in order to arrive at the particular, and not the other way around, which is encountered at that time among many linguists in Russia, for example Peshkovsky, was often confused by critics with the structuralist principle. The article compares the French, generally “leftist”, mostly Marxist reception of V. N. Voloshinov’s book with the predominant role of the interindividual (personalist) moment, situational determinism and rejection of linguistics in the name of concrete pragmatics. That is why the main object of Voloshinov’s research is not the sentence, as it is for linguists, but the unrepeatable utterance, understandable only within the framework of a particular communication situation.

Sustainable development has been one of the key drivers of economic, social and environmental development over the last 30 years. In this study we have focused on the social aspect of sustainable development, which is also addressed by the fourth goal; quality education within the United Nations framework. The results of the survey of 203 students showed that students felt that they had low knowledge of sustainable development, with a self-assessed mean score of 2.36 (max. 5) and a standard deviation of 0.72. On the importance of sustainable development in society, students rated themselves better, with a mean score of 3.78 (max. 5) and a standard deviation of 0.80. The correlation analysis shows a medium-weak correlation between the variables self-assessment and the importance of sustainable development. The definition of sustainable development is not fully understood by 48% of the students, who did not answer the question or answered it incorrectly. One quarter (25%) of the students surveyed understood sustainable development in terms of environmental protection, while the social aspect was identified by 7% and the economic aspect by only 2%. The media and social networks are at the forefront of the acquisition of knowledge in this field.

Radical change has now become a permanent phenomenon, where one change immediately triggers a chain of other changes. They are created by various factors, such as the COVID 19 pandemic in recent years, its economic consequences, the globalisation of these developments and the shift in social norms and perceptions. With change comes opportunity. Not every crisis has to have a negative connotation. Businesses can also see dramatic changes in the market as an opportunity and a challenge. New technologies and technological advances allow companies to generate new revenues by focusing on new customers, new sectors and accessing new geographies. In an environment of constant change, companies need to act quickly and skilfully if they are to effectively address and influence all the disruptive factors in the environment. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the key factors that are essential in maintaining a company's stability and enabling it to take advantage of the challenges and changes in society to restructure and expand its business, and to present a model of how to do this in practice.

Globalization is the main feature and an inevitable process of the time we live in. It allows for the global movement of people, ideas, information, technologies, and capital. It erases the outdated borders and helps establish more intense and dynamic connections between global and local events. On the other hand, today’s world of turbulent changes shows beyond doubt that modern development depends on innovations and technological development. The subject of this paper is the influence of globalization on technology and its development. This research was made possible through a review of current literature in this field along with two case studies, with the goal of helping the reader become more familiar with the concept of technological development caused by globalization, and providing him an insight into technological changes in production methods, system of business management, new job openings, requirements for additional education and training of the workers, at the same time emphasizing the importance of the maximization of positive, and minimization of negative trends that go along the technology development.

Since the WHO declared the COVID-19 a pandemic in 2020, not only the health care systems experienced the changes in their national and international health care managements but the whole attainment of a modern society has become questionable under the new evolutional challenges. Isolation, medical triage in new circumstances, global problems in health care, transport and business has showed that none of vital social sectors of a country or a region could be developed without international cooperation. Instead of benchmarking the economic power among their health care managements, the Pandemic made the countries’ managements to take a deep introspection into their organizational culture, resilience and ability for intercommunication. It means that Universal Health Care, Medicare and other advanced health care systems have a lot to implement in New Normal environment such as telemedicine, intercommunicative resilience and cross – economics health care integration.: supporting scientific methods used in this paper are based continually upon theoretical publication fond, comparative research method, data summary, and descriptive indicators.

The digitalisation of healthcare in Slovenia has experienced unprecedented progress in recent years. The covid19 epidemic required a number of upgrades to information solutions that needed to be developed and implemented as soon as possible. The Healthcare Patient Portal zVEM and the Central Registry of Patient Data (CRPD) have made particularly great progress in the field of eHealth. In the paper, with the help of data from the modules for statistics and business intelligence, we described and analysed in more detail the patient portal zVEM and CRPD, related innovations and their use. During the epidemic, the zVEM portal took on an important role in empowering, informing and raising public awareness. It provides patients with safe and reliable access to their data in eHealth databases and eHealth services. The most resounding is the printout of the EU Digital Covid Certificate (EU DCC). A new zVEMplus module has been developed for healthcare providers, which enables the capture and processing of data and the submission of mandatory reports by providers who do not use or have access to their own information systems. The data displayed through the zVEM Portal are drawn from the CRPD, which is today the most complex public information system in Slovenia. In the future, it is essential to maintain the progress made and to provide conditions for the continuation of the encouraging development trend in the field of eHealth solutions in Slovenia.

The Covid-19 pandemic still presents challenges to organizations, their way of working and to leadership of both employees and work processes. Organizations are and will continue to be forced to find alternative ways of their work processes, in order to ensure health and safety of employees and customers or users. Due to Covid-19, many organizations constantly shift to working from home for a period of time. For employees, their home becomes a new working environment. Leader-member exchange theory conceptualizes leadership as a process, focusing on the organizational climate, interactions and respect between leader and follower. With the immediate transition from organizational working environment to working from home, employees are not influenced by such factors. We are finding that working from home poses great challenges to leaders and is, to some extent, unsuitable for Leader-member exchange theory. This causes additional burdens and a certain level of stress for the leader, as he has no personal contact with the employees, therefore, there is no leader-member exchange. In this paper, we review the literature on Leader-member exchange theory and on working from home, to describe how it is associated with leader's stress, following the impact it has on leadership.

The World Health Organization (WHO) views personnel as the most important of all resources in the health system. Human resources (HR) plays a critical role in stimulating effective work in organisations, especially for public health organisations, where personnel competencies are key aspects of service quality. Countries with fewer health workers are unable to effectively deliver services or scale up the interventions needed to meet health goals. There is ample evidence that human resource management (HRM) practices affect the productivity of organisations and employees, and thus can affect the quality of service delivery across many sectors. HRM contributes to improving the efficiency of healthcare systems as well as positive outcomes for patients and employees. In view of the specific problems in healthcare that are now and will arise in the future, the HR managers need clinical training or experience in healthcare to better understand the problem and its solution. The review is based on materials from Scopus, Web of Science, CHINAL, PubMed, Sage databases. Analyzed strategies for solving problems related to staffing, personnel management and patient satisfaction, both on the part of health workers and leaders, and on the part of the international community.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a trendy motto. Some are afraid of AI, while others do not know what to do with it. In this article, we will highlight some of the challenges of AI together with its strengths and weaknesses in the processes of education. The emphasis will be on the synergy between human cognitive processes and AI. There is a need to move from a dataoriented school to a school of knowing, understanding and thinking. The AI can make an important contribution to this shift. AI methods open up new opportunities that are worth recognizing and using. We will look at the challenges of data analytics methods with an emphasis on machine learning and data visualization. What can we expect from modern processing of natural language texts? Important and promising changes brought by AI, do not mean a revolution, but a rebirth of good old ideas in a new context. AI should be taken as a stimulus for the renaissance of education in the new reality.
Środowisko przyrodnicze i zagospodarowanie form eolicznych w gminie Szadek

Sand hills, dunes and sand sheets are eolian landforms, on which specific sensitive ecosystems develop. They are characteristic feature of many areas situated in central Po­land. Sandy areas with dunes are also found in the commune of Szadek. Wind-deposited sand bodies have accumulated on moraine plains, outwashes and floodplain terraces in the valleys of the Pichna and Brodnia rivers. Eolian formations have various shapes, with predominance of parabolic dunes, ridges and sand hills. They are built offine-grained and coarser sands 1-10 meters thick. Quartz dominates in their mineral composition. Sand-deposits are characterized by high permeability, which is why they produce dry ecosystems. Arid sands are covered by low-class pod sols, easily eroded by wind. For that reason this type of ecosystems should remain afforested, as the cutting down of trees can result in blowing away the soil and eventually destruction of the entire formation. Such situations are known to have happened in the past. In the commune of Szadek, the majority of the dunes are overgrown with forest, which is the most advantageous solution.
