A comparative-contrastive analysis of punctuation use (and spelling) in Serbian and English
Authors: Čorboloković Saša , Gavranović Valentina
Published: April 2024

The paper investigates punctuation rules and their application in Serbian and English, focusing on the examples that comply with different normative solutions in the two languages. The main goal of the research is to compare and contrast the results obtained from a survey done by a group of seventh-grade primary school students. The paper aims to determine how well the respondents apply punctuation rules in Serbian and English, to examine whether there is interference in the application of rules, and to investigate to what extent the detected errors illustrate the tendency of spreading pseudo-norms that violate the orthography of both languages. The results show that the respondents use punctuation marks with more precision in Serbian than in English. The percentage of incorrect answers to each question and the types of errors indicate interference and the creation of hybrid forms that are incorrect in both languages, which represent the creation of pseudo-norms. Furthermore, the results show a greater influence of the application of the rules adopted in the Serbian language on the English language, which can be interpreted by the bigger number of Serbian classes and clearly stated topics within the syllabus of the Serbian language course.
The development of lower vocational schools in Niš from the end of the 19th century until 1914
Authors: Pešić Miroslav , Ranđelović Vojin
Published: April 2024

This paper provides a brief overview of the development of lower vocational schools in Niš from their establishment until 1914, i.e., until the beginning of the First World War. In that period, there were three lower vocational schools in Niš: the Trade School of the Niš Trade Youth, the Women's Workers' School of the Women's Society, and the General Vocational Sunday-Holiday School. Despite the challenges it encountered during its establishment, the Trade School of the Niš Trade Youth began its work in 1893. As early as 1895, the Niš Trade Youth joined forces with the craftsmen, and the association became known as the Niš Trade-Craft Youth. The association and the school were suspended from 1897 to 1901 due to disagreements between merchants and craftsmen, but they continued to operate under the old name. The Women's Workers' School was founded in 1883 by the Niš branch of the Women's Society through the use of its own finances. It was the women's worker's school for embroidery, white linen, and dresses, where the majority of classes were focused on professional subjects and practical work. The General Vocational Sunday-Holiday School was established in 1903 as an evening, weekly holiday general-type school. The General Vocational Sunday-Holiday School aimed to develop competent craftsmen-masters from students through theoretical, professional, and practical instruction. This paper considers the establishment of these schools, the problems they had to face, and their significance for the development of the city of Niš
Personal nicknames of Zaplanje's small town of Gadžin Han
Authors: Savić Sandra
Published: April 2024

The paper analyzes the personal nicknames of Gadžin Han from a linguistic perspective. The personal nicknames are part of the anthroponomic system of Zaplanje, the geographic area to which the small town of Gadžin Han belongs. The research material, collected during the fieldwork from conversations with the town residents, includes 230 personal nicknames. It is categorized into two semantic groups: male personal nicknames (199) and female personal nicknames (31), and then further assigned to more specific semantic groups. For male nicknames, there are fifteen narrower semantic groups, and for female nicknames, there are six. The smaller number of female nicknames suggests a patriarchal culture within the community. The largest number of nicknames is motivated by family names and personal names of relatives, followed by occupation, as well as physical appearance. The index of nicknames , together with the reason given for the origin of the nickname, is also provided.
Bitcoin and the "fourth wave" of globalization
Authors: Radulović Srđan
Published: April 2024

The tendency to transform individual social communities into a universal, unified society which knows no boundaries (or at least does not insist on them), with the necessary dose of simplification, is the conceptual definition of globalization. Since it is a tendency, globalization naturally has its own temporal dimension. The process of determining the time coordinates of this phenomenon is extremely complex and the results may vary depending on the scientific approach and point of view. However, we believe that it is possible to reach a consensus that the process of globalization is not continuous, but has several phases. We tend to think that there are three main phases of globalization. Of course, we fully respect other competing systems of periodization and argumentation on which they are based. Nevertheless, we do not doubt that proponents of different periodization would agree that a new phase of globalization began recently, although it is difficult to determine the exact moment when it was initiated. Namely, on October 31, 2009, a mysterious developer, or more likely group of developers, behind the fictious name of Satoshi Nakamoto, published the so-called White Paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. More than ten years later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These two, at first glance unrelated events cumulatively initiated chain of new transformations, all leading toward a more unified society. Probably the most important change, one that is the focus of this paper, is the transformation of centralized localized monetary systems into completely decentralized, digitalized, totally independent, almost entirely self-sustaining, and self-regulating global financial structure. This paper presents a part of the results collected through the theoretical-empirical research conducted previously on both legal and socio-economic moments that initiated a new phase of globalization. These results refer mostly to events that initiated a new phase of globalization, their connections, and problems of periodization. The remaining results, results on the scope and expected overall effects of this phase, will be presented in the next article in this series. All the results of the research and conclusions were collected based on different analytical-synthetical methods, mostly abstraction and generalization. In this paper specifically, different techniques of the normative method were used. Also, special techniques of legal norm interpretation were used in the process.
Humor and satire in the modern pictorial novel the bodyguard by Radivoje Bojičić: From ethnopsychological anecdote to social criticism
Authors: Jeftimijević-Mihajlović Marija
Published: April 2024

Starting from Northrop Frye's claim that one of the main characteristics of satire is the element of humor based on the feeling of the grotesque or absurd, but that satire is a critical presentation of social, political and other situations, this paper discusses the elements of humor and satire in the novel The Bodyguard by Radivoje Bojičić, which is already defined in the title as a "pictorial novel". Although pictorial novels in Serbian literature do not have a long and solid tradition, Bojićič's novel about a bodyguard, who as a kind of anti-hero tells about his life's vocation full of temptations and risks, with strong touches of irony, satire and parody, as well as humor that affirms values contrary to those that are recognizable at first glance, enters the ranks of original and self-contained achievements, thus strengthening the humorous-satirical tradition embodied mostly in the work of Branislav Nušić and of Branko Ćopić. The writer achieves a special dimension of the comic in the novel by using the procedure of comic characterization of the main character, the procedure of comic exaggeration (caricatural, hyperbolic, grotesque), the procedure of inserting intertextual sections, in which the main character parodically refers to well-known phrases, platitudes and quotations from domestic literature and culture, and using a linguistic corpus and terminology appropriate to the world in which the main character found himself, but putting in the foreground precisely the language of the main character and highlighting his origin, social status and special dialectal "literacy". Because of all this, it is possible to read this novel not only as a humorous and satirical piece but also as an ethnopsychological anecdote about a primitive, aggressive and naïve man who must be first in everything - especially in heroism.
The impact of stereotypes on intercultural communication
Authors: Vilimonović Jovana , Bakić-Mirić Nataša
Published: April 2024

Broadly speaking, stereotyping is a cognitive mechanism that underlies all aspects of intercultural processes-the way individuals perceive members of other groups shapes their attitudes and behavior towards them and influence different types of intercultural interactions and worldviews Based on the assumption that positive stereotypes about people who come from other cultures are used in human communication as an expression of each person's need to simplify all impressions and representations in order to understand the world and the people around them, positive stereotypes can facilitate communication. On the other hand, negative stereotypes in intercultural communication can lead to complete misunderstandings because it is assumed that all people within a certain group have the same characteristics. Therefore, both positive and negative stereotypes in intercultural communication can result in unfounded generalisations, false evaluations and oversimplifications, thus forming the basis for unfair behavior and labelling towards those to whom they refer, in addition to discrimination and interpersonal conflicts. In the search for a model for successful intercultural communication, the principle that culturally specific information should not be applied to all members of a cultural group and that the uniqueness of each member of the group must be respected can be considered extremely important. Stereotypical classifications should not be resistant to change as they relate to relationships between people, which are highly susceptible to change. Successful intercultural communicators should be able to form an opinion based on their communication experience and independent observations, free from stereotypes that they may have consciously or unconsciously gained. Also, viewing the world from the prism of others, not only from our own egocentric and ethnocentric position, and not allowing stereotypes to act as "filters", which allow in only what is similar to our cultural behavior, are important in preventing the adverse effects of stereotypes on communication. Therefore, a recommendable model of successful and efficient intercultural communication is unburdened by bias and stereotypes towards the members of cultural groups different from our own.
Estimation of microplastics distribution in soil sample from District Una, Himachal Pradesh, India

Published: April 2024

Plastics have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Its production and usage are increasing day by day. Our lives have become dependent on plastic-based products, and we are frequently exposed to plastics. The oxidation, fragmentation, and leaching stimulate the formation of small (1 µm–5000 µm) particles termed microplastics. The current study facilitates the assessment and quantification of MPs in soil samples collected from 5 sites (Amb, Gagret, Mubarikpur, Una city, and Tahliwal) in district Una, Himachal Pradesh, India. Soil samples were treated with NaCl for density separation and 30% H2O2 for digestion of organic matter. After sample treatment, the obtained supernatant was visualized under a stereomicroscope. In the current study, fragments (81.06%) were the dominant MP type identified, followed by fibers (16.04%) and films (2.89%). Similarly, MPs obtained were of various colours, such as purple (59%), greenish purple (5%), yellow (5%), blue (2%), green (1%) and transparent (28%). The highest microplastics concentration was detected in the soil sample from Tahliwal due to the disposal from small-scale industries and domestic waste, while the lowest microplastics concentration was detected in the soil sample from Una city. However, further research is needed to identify the polymer type and to check the possible source of microplastic examined.

Higher Education (HE) is transforming towards embracing global pedagogical standards, particularly emphasizing student-centered learning models. In conjunction with these progressive initiatives, the incorporation of the Internet is aimed at enhancing course flexibility for both university instructors and students. Blended Learning (BL), a synthesis of online and face-to-face instruction, emerges as a methodology capable of leveraging the advantages inherent in both traditional classroom learning and online learning environments. The research being examined discovers the HE sector's application of globally recognized educational ethics and student-focused teaching. Online access has better-quality course flexibility. This type of education, which participates in classroom teaching with Online Education (OE), is being verified for communication skills. The research uses Moodle and a predictable informative setting to deal with several modes of education. The 49 HE pupils shared in a pre and post-test. Combining teaching improves communication skills, increasing the relationship between students and educators for a more practical education practice.
El derecho a la vivienda: un terrible derecho. Problemática de su dimensión objetiva en la Ley por el derecho a la vivienda
Authors: Gavara de Cara Juan Carlos
Published: April 2024

En este trabajo se analiza el estado de la cuestión del reconocimiento y el desarrollo constitucional del derecho a la vivienda, a raíz de la reciente aprobación de la primera ley estatal de desarrollo del derecho (Ley 12/2023, de 24 de mayo, por el derecho a la vivienda - LDV). Dada la incidencia en la competencia autonómica de vivienda se ha anunciado la presentación de diversos recursos de inconstitucionalidad. En cualquier caso, la nueva ley estatal adopta decisiones de carácter abierto y abstracto, excesivamente centrada en definiciones y principios, lo que en la práctica dificulta en extremo cualquier control posterior de legalidad de su aplicación (art. 53.3 CE), de modo que la decisión judicial de protección del derecho será ineficaz e inefectiva.

La principal consecuencia del reconocimiento del derecho a la vivienda como derecho subjetivo se debe concretar a través del derecho de acceso, que se dirige esencialmente a aquellos individuos que dentro de las leyes del mercado no disponen de suficientes medios económicos para satisfacer sus necesidades habitacionales, ya sea en régimen de alquiler o compra. Sin embargo, las leyes autonómicas, así como la LDV, se dirigen fundamentalmente a medidas de carácter objetivo, criterios de política pública para corregir malas prácticas o mejorar el mercado de la vivienda en general, que no tienen incidencia directa en la vertiente subjetiva del derecho.

En conclusión, el derecho a la vivienda no ha conseguido desarrollar con la nueva LDV un contenido constitucional efectivo, sobre todo en materia de posición subjetiva de acceso, por lo que tiene una gran dependencia legislativa en su concreción y no ha contribuido a dirimir las expectativas sociales, ni a resolver la problemática habitacional. Pocos derechos de los ciudadanos reconocidos en esta LDV y muchos deberes, sobre todo para propietarios y arrendadores, que por filosofía de la norma parece que darán lugar a ilícitos y sanciones administrativas, que dependerán del desarrollo que realicen en un futuro las Comunidades Autónomas. Con esta LDV el Estado ha ofrecido una cobertura como legislación básica para vehicular anteriores declaraciones de inconstitucionalidad de normativa autonómica y que deberá ser examinada en el correspondiente control de constitucionalidad, aunque no estará exenta de conflicto su aplicación con posterioridad, ya que numerosas sanciones afectarán a normas autonómicas que incidirán en la función social de la propiedad, que seguirá siendo una competencia estatal.
Financiación sanitaria en España y rendición de cuentas: la historia de muchos déficits
Authors: Sáenz Royo Eva
Published: April 2024

En este trabajo se trata de analizar la responsabilidad del Estado y de las Comunidades Autónomas en la financiación sanitaria española y proponer soluciones para mejorar la rendición de cuentas en esta materia.Tras una descripción de la opción constitucional por un sistema de financiación sanitaria vía impuestos, se analiza, en primer lugar, la implicación que tienen los Presupuestos Generales del Estado en la financiación sanitaria, así como los principales problemas que se plantean con esa financiación estatal. Especial atención se dará a los problemas en la aplicación del principio de solidaridad interterritorial, entre los que destaca la falta de transparencia en su reparto, y a los problemas en la potestad de gasto estatal en el ámbito sanitario y su falta de control sobre el destino de los fondos. En segundo lugar, esta investigación estudia el papel de los presupuestos autonómicos en la financiación de la sanidad en España, poniendo de manifiesto la contradicción del protagonismo autonómico en materia de financiación de los mínimos en la prestación sanitaria y el sistema competencial. Terminaremos con unas consideraciones finales.Tal y como se comprueba a lo largo del estudio, el confuso sistema de financiación autonómica, la opacidad en la aplicación del principio de solidaridad, la falta de control sobre las transferencias de recursos del Estado a las Comunidades Autónomas, junto con la inexistencia de unas reglas de contabilidad adecuadas, imposibilitan conocer quién está pagando qué y, con ello, imposibilitan una rendición de cuentas en el ámbito sanitario español.

Slovenska medicinska akademija (SMA), katere poslanstvo je tudi spodbujanje znanstveno-raziskovalnega dela, je organizirala okroglo mizo o pomenu in stranpoteh znanstveno-raziskovalnega dela v medicini. Sodelujoči so poudarili, da je znanost vodilna sila razvoja na vseh področjih življenja, vključno z medicino. Znanstveno-raziskovalno delo neposredno koristi medicinski praksi in omogoča bolj kakovostno obravnavo bolnikov. Medicinska znanost je v primerjavi z drugimi vedami v posebnem položaju, saj je večina raziskav povezana s poseganjem v telesno integriteto človeka. Zato mora biti pod drobnogledom nadzornih struktur, ki skrbijo za varnost in etičnost ravnanja na tem področju. Potrebno je pred samim začetkom etično oceniti vsako medicinsko raziskavo, kar opravlja Komisija za medicinsko etiko RS. Znanstvena dejavnost v medicini je glede financiranja v neenakopravnem položaju z raziskovalnim delom na številnih drugih področjih, saj so klinični zdravniki in zdravniki na obeh medicinskih fakultetah lahko raziskovalci le manjši del svojega delovnega časa. Celo na terciarnih ustanovah so raziskovalci entuziasti, ki opravljajo raziskovalno delo v svojem prostem času.

Žal je tudi medicinska znanost neredko izpostavljena dejavnikom, ki ogrožajo njeno nevtralnost in objektivnost, ker je v ospredju tekmovalnost in interes institucij, od katerih je raziskovalno delo finančno odvisno. Prihaja do improvizacij in hitenja z objavami delnih rezultatov še pred zaključkom kompleksnih raziskav. V akademski sferi so vedno večji pritiski, saj so objave, čeprav tudi za lase privlečenih rezultatov, pogoj za napredovanje. Raziskovalec je neredko odvisen od financiranja raziskav od sponzorjev (zlasti farmacevtske industrije), ne pa od neodvisnih finančnih virov, kar lahko vpliva na verodostojnost rezultatov.

V zadnjih letih se klasičnim raziskavam pridružujejo raziskave, ki uporabljajo umetno inteligenco. Analiza rezultatov, ki jo opravi umetna inteligenca, je neprimerno hitrejša in natančnejša, a ne vedno pravilnejša. Tudi uporabo umetne inteligence spremljajo pasti. Ni namreč vedno jasno, ali je besedilo napisal človek ali umetna inteligenca, kar odmika odgovornost za objavljene rezultate. Poleg tega se na internetnih zapisih pojavljajo tudi izmišljotine, ki postavljajo pod vprašaj verodostojnost poročanja o ugotovitvah raziskav.

Znanost je gonilo razvoja medicine, mora pa biti vrednotenjsko nevtralna in temeljiti na preverjenih dejstvih.

Lastensuojelun toimintamallit voivat olla lupaava tapa parantaa lastensuojelua,mutta systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsauksemme mukaan niiden vaikuttavuudesta onvielä hyvin vähän tietoa. Tarve mallien vaikuttavuustutkimukselle on suuri.

Lastensuojelun tutkimusperustaisuuden edistämisessä voidaan toimintamallien ohellahyödyntää muita rinnakkaisia strategioita.

Kehittämistyöhön tulisi kytkeä nykyistä enemmän arviointitutkimusta. Näin uusista lupaavista ­menetelmistä ja malleista saataisiin tuotettua tietoa aiempaa järjestelmällisemmin.

Tieto olisi myös paremmin yleistettävissä, kun sen tuottamista olisivat ohjanneet tieteellisen ­tutkimuksen yleiset eettiset periaatteet ja hyvä tieteellinen käytäntö.

Authors: Rautio Heidi Susanna , Nikupeteri Anna , Laitinen Merja
Published: April 2024

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan lapsinäkökulmaista riskinarviointia vanhempien vaativissa erotilanteissa. Vaativilla eroilla tarkoitetaan vanhempien pitkittyneitä ja monimutkaistuneita ero- ja huoltoriitatilanteita.
Vaativat erot kuormittavat palvelujärjestelmää, ja ammattilaiset tarvitsevat tietoa sekä keinoja perheiden auttamiseen.
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaista ammatillista osaamista lapsinäkökulmainen riskien arviointi edellyttää ammattilaisilta vaativissa erotilanteissa. Tutkimukseen haastateltiin 13 ammattilaista, jotka kohtaavat työssään perheiden vaativia erotilanteita.
Tuloksena muodostui kolme ammatillisen osaamisen ulottuvuutta: 1) ilmiöiden, niiden erojen ja vaikutusten tunnistaminen, 2) lapsikeskeinen tiedon analysoiminen ja lapsen tilanteen määrittely sekä 3) monialaisen professionaalisen tiedon rakentaminen.
Tutkimus tuottaa uutta tietoa vaativiin eroihin liittyvästä lapsinäkökulmaisesta riskinarvioinnista sekä ammattilaisten osaamisen kehittämistarpeista, jotta jatkossa osataan paremmin arvioida riskejä ja auttaa perheitä.

Authors: Mendoza Martinez Cynthia Carolina
Published: April 2024

La crianza de los hijos es un aspecto esencial en la sociedad, ya que influye en el desarrollo emocional, social y cognitivo de los individuos determinando su salud física y emocional. Es importante revisar y profundizar en la presente indagación la influencia de los introyectos sociales en la crianza de las madres mexicanas. Por tanto, se destaca que los patrones aprendidos de las propias madres determinan su estilo de crianza ya que los propios introyectos sociales asignan un rol maternal que va implícito en el comportamiento que la madre tiene con sus hijos. Así mismo en la presente investigación se tiene el objetivo de analizar los introyectos sociales y el estilo de crianza que tienen las madres mexicanas entre 48 a 52 años que son parte de la práctica durante el desarrollo del infante. Su aspecto metodológico es mixto, aplicando una encuesta semiestructurada utilizando la estadística descriptiva. Los principales introyectos sociales que mencionan las madres mexicanas el estudio destacan en parte en el perfil psicológico del mexicano donde un factor determinante son los aspectos de la cultura y sobre todo precisar en este sentido como la sociedad implícitamente impacta en el desarrollo personal, social y así mismo en sus problemáticas por generaciones, debido a la crianza que se tiene para desarrollar personas civiles, éticas y morales. Por lo que en definitiva esta investigación concluye con el estilo de crianza que tuvieron las familias mexicanas por parte de sus cuidadores, dentro de la crianza tradicional se destaca un estilo de crianza riguroso y basada en el cumplimiento de normas y de disciplina donde las sanciones suelen ser violentas por lo que se resalta que es uno de los principales introyectos de las madres mexicanas en la crianza de sus hijos, así mismo se representa en ideas, creencias, correctivos para educar, en el que se siguen aplicando por el aprendizaje parental en la crianza de las nuevas generaciones de personas.

”Sangen ajankohtainen Nuijasota”
Authors: Pikkanen Ilona
Published: April 2024

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Kasimir Leinon historiallista näytelmää Jaakko Ilkka ja Klaus Fleming (1901) ja sen teatteriesityksiä. Tutkimuksen keskiössä ovat näytelmän ja esitysten saamat sanoma- ja aikakauslehtiarvostelut, erityisesti Jaakko Ilkka -hahmon tulkinta. Tutkimus taustoittaa vuosisadan vaihteessa syntyneen ”uuden Ilkan” venäläistämiskauden poliittisiin kiistoihin, erityisesti kysymykseen Suomen valtiollisesta asemasta osana Venäjän keisarikuntaa. Aikakauden Ilkka-kuvaa käsitellään myös suhteessa äänioikeusuudistukseen liittyvään ideaalikansalaisajatteluun ja yhteiskunnan modernisoitumiseen. Sanomalehtiarvioissa Ilkkaa kuvataan oikeutettuna laillisuustaistelijana, johon suomenkielinen koulutettu keski- ja yläluokka pystyi samaistumaan. Sanomalehdistössä käydyt nuijasotakeskustelut kertovatkin suomenkielisen sivistyneistön kansanomaisia juuria juhlistavasta kollektiivisesta kiinnostuksesta tätä historiallista hahmoa kohtaan. Samaan  aikaan Ilkasta tuli kuitenkin myös tunnistettava osa  työväenliikkeen sosialistista luokkataistelukuvastoa.

The ever increasing importance of education has drivenresearchers and educators to seek innovative methods forenhancing student performance and understanding the factorsthat contribute to academic success. This paper presents a methodology for predicting CGPA SGPA that leverages machine learning techniques to forecast students'academic achievements based on a variety of features, such asdemographic information, academic history, and behavioural patterns. The proposed students academic performance method utilizes a real-world collected dataset from multiple educational institutions toensure an accurate and comprehensive analysis. The proposed methodology starts with a data preparationstage, where the data is cleansed and organized for analysis. This process encompasses tasks such as handling missing values, scaling the data, and transforming variables ifnecessary. The feature analysis technique was used to select the most important features for the students academic performance model. A number ofmachine learning classifiers were tested, and the feature analysis was found to be the best performer. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of algorithms in predicting student performance andidentifying key factors that influence academic success. This information can be leveraged by educators and academicinstitutions to develop targeted intervention strategies, tailoredlearning experiences, and personalized recommendations forstudents, ultimately fostering a more effective learningenvironment and improving overall educational outcomes.

Published: April 2024

The goal of the study was to quantify the levels of C reactive protein and protein in pregnant HIV-positive malaria-infected women. Pregnant women in HIV stages 1 and 2 who were 18 to 40 (36.98 + 5.49) years old participated in the study. The participant groups consisted of 80 HIV-positive pregnant women with 40 co-infected with malaria and 80 HIV-negative pregnant women with 40 co-infected with malaria. Blood samples were obtained from participants for the thick and thin film methods of counting and identifying malaria parasites and the immunochromatographic method of determining HIV status. The total protein content of the serum was determined using the Biuret method, and the violetcoloured solution that was produced was measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm. The Enzyme linked Immunosorbent assay using the Human CRP kit method was employed to measure the level of CRP in the participants’ blood sample and the developed yellow coloured solution read at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In all cases, there was a statistically significant difference in protein and CRP levels between the HIV seropositive group with malaria infection (p<0.05) and HIV seropositive group without malaria infection. The mean protein and CRP level of HIV-positive pregnant women who have malaria infection was statistically lower than that of HIV-positive pregnant women who do not have malaria but statistically higher than those of HIV-negative pregnant women with and without malaria infection. The study suggests that pregnant HIV-positive women do experience a heightened increase in protein and CRP levels majorly due to HIV. However, malaria infection also contributes to the level of increase seen in these parameters in pregnant women with the coinfection.

Clinical Case Report: Use of Essential Oils in Chronic Dermal Wound
Authors: Carvalho Driany Tamami Yamashita de
Published: April 2024

Currently, there is a trend towards adopting treatments with more natural alternative products over synthetic ones. Essential oils are known for their numerous medicinal properties (from physical to emotional issues) and have been used by the population for millennia. They contain volatile compounds that have therapeutic properties. Their complex chemical composition provides plants with adaptive advantages in their environment and can be used as important active principles in products intended for human treatment. Essential oils also have antioxidant properties, preventing cellular damage and premature aging (such as lemon, lavender, and sweet orange essential oils, for example). Regarding antimicrobial properties, various essential oils have shown activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. For example, tea tree oil has been effective against various bacteria and fungi, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Candida albicans. Additionally, essential oils are widely used for analgesic purposes, such as peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus, and clove, or essential oils that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote relaxation like lavender, sweet orange, bergamot, and ylang-ylang. Another interesting oil is used in important ingredients in incenses and perfumes, the extract from gum resins obtained from the Burseraceae family trees (Boswellia sp.) that have anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic effects. Chemical components like linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, 1,8 cineole, pinenes, γ-terpinene, borneol, limonene, α-thujene, and menthol are some of the main components found in various essential oils. The most abundant phenol in oregano essential oil is a potent antibacterial agent. The aim was to report an individual clinical case, in home care, requested by a physical educator, of a female patient, leucoderma, 74 years old, residing in the State of São Paulo, presenting a chronic wound in the posteroinferior region of the right leg that was not responding to conventional methods (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, analgesics, in addition to laser therapy) for more than two months. She also faced respiratory problems, sleep difficulties, mild depression, and reduced mobility. She reported being a controlled diabetic, hypertensive, and having occupational asthma. As a requested choice, aromatherapy was the sought treatment, and a protocol was established considering both physical and emotional aspects, recommending topical and aromatic use of essential oils of oregano, lavender, tea tree, frankincense, in addition to fractionated coconut and rosehip vegetable oils as diluents. After 47 days, the wound had healed, and the patient showed optimism and improved sleep quality. Aromatherapy offers a holistic and gentle approach to treating various conditions, and this case is an inspiring example of how essential oils can make a difference in people's lives. However, more clinical studies with a larger population are necessary to investigate the treatment's efficacy and safety.

Authors: Sulistiani Selvi , Indriyany Ika Arinia
Published: April 2024

This article dissects how socially constructed society views women in politics as regional heads. Amid the minimal existence of women in politics, women still dare to enter politics to become regional heads. The research results in this article will first explain how social construction translates social roles between women and men, including in the political sphere. Second, this article highlights gender analysis of the leadership style of Iti Octavia Jayabaya as Regent of Lebak from a social construction perspective. With their myriad of problems, women are challenged to enter politics without solid support and political capital. Likewise with Iti Octavia Jayabaya, although her leadership cannot be separated from the existence of a political dynasty, Iti Octavia Jayabaya broke the social construction, which assumes that it is difficult for women to be involved in politics and even become regional leaders. Iti Octavia Jayabaya has proven this through various achievements related to the development of the region he leads to escape it as a disadvantaged region. This research contribution enriches approaches and references regarding the study of women's leadership, to gender issues in government and local politics.
