A Study on Performance and Development Strategies of the Protection System for Safety of Social Welfare Practitioners : Applying Mixed Methodology
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Kwon Ja Young , Park Hyang Kyung
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the achievements of the “Establishment of a Protective System for the Safety of Social Welfare Practitioners” project, which has been supported by the Community Chest of Korea from 2019 to 2022, and to propose future development strategies for the project. To do this, a mixed research method was employed. Quantitative research utilized data from 1,235 individuals recorded in the performance management records of the project. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0, including descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. Changes in pre-post traumatic growth among social welfare practitioners were analyzed through paired-sample t-tests. Qualitative research involved conducting focus group interviews (FGIs) with 9 project managers to analyze difficulties encountered during project implementation, problem-solving efforts for project execution, project outcomes, and strategies for project sustainability. Data collected through FGIs were analyzed using thematic analysis and N-vivo 9. The results of the quantitative study are as follows: First, among the types of job-related trauma, the proportion of subjects who experienced job-related violence was the highest at 53.2%, followed by 19.8% for other types, 18.5% for vicarious trauma, and 8.6% for loss (death experience). Second, cross-analysis results showed statistically significant differences in gender, age, type of affiliated institution, and type of job-related trauma. Third, as a result of providing various recovery support to social workers who have experienced occupational trauma, positive changes in “post-traumatic growth” were observed when measuring pre- and post-traumatic growth. This change was statistically significant. The qualitative analysis results are as follows : First, there was an improvement in awareness and consciousness among social workers regarding safety and human rights, which had previously not received much attention. There was an increased sense of personal, organizational, and societal responsibility for problem-solving. Second, the framework of protection and safety systems has been established, including the enactment and revision of related regulations and the creation of a safe physical environment in social welfare agencies. Third, the recovery and capacity of social workers have been strengthened. As a development strategy to ensure the sustainability of this project, several tasks have been identified. These include the development of various recovery support services, such as the establishment of safety education and coping training programs, providing continuous education on safety and human rights for social welfare practitioners, fostering relevant professionals, adapting to changes in organizational and community environments, and establishing relevant legal and institutional foundations.
Does the relationship between the interviewer and interviewee matter in qualitative research?
Authors: Alam Md. Kausar
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this viewpoint is to outline the relationship between the interviewer and interviewee in qualitative research, data collection and data quality. The argument draws upon qualitative research and publication among academicians and researchers, as well as the researcher’s observation. The relationship is an epic in qualitative and quantitative research and data collection. The relationship has positive and negative responses as well as advantages and disadvantages. Familiarity within the industry and respondents may make the data collection process more accessible, suitable and less time worthy, and money savings in collecting data set for the qualitative research. At the same time, unfamiliarity among the interviewer and interviewees may lead to the bias data from the interviewee and time-consuming. The researchers need to consider the relationship in future qualitative research and data quality for greater flexibility to attain research objectives. The viewpoint is valuable to those engaged in various aspects of qualitative research, data collection, and data evaluation either in a familiar or unfamiliar face.

Authors: Koceva Daniela , Projkov Nikola
Published: March 2024

Motivation stands as a cornerstone in shaping the overall atmosphere and interactions within a school's staff. It encompasses the provision of essential resources that enable teachers and professional associates to fulfill their responsibilities proficiently. This paper intricately explores the pivotal role of the principal in human resource management, with a specific focus on teachers and professional associates. Additionally, it conducts a comprehensive examination of diverse strategies for motivating employees, culminating in a detailed analysis of the influential model put forth by Douglas McGregor.

A multitude of studies underscores the profoundly human dimension within organizations, particularly in the educational sector. They meticulously dissect the intricate interplay among employees at every echelon, scrutinizing how both individuals and groups respond and engage within the organizational framework. This encompasses avenues for taking initiative and exhibiting self-direction, driven by an authentic commitment to the betterment of the organization all. These attitudes and behaviors not only permeate the thought processes of managers but also wield substantial influence over their actions within the organizational milieu. This underscores the crucial interplay between motivation models and management approaches, in accordance with the foundational tenets outlined in McGregor's X and Y theories.
DEČIJI DOŽIVLJAJ FANTASTIKE U DELIMA SALVADORA DALIJA
Authors: Milivojčević Tatjana
Published: March 2024

U novim Osnovama programa predškolskog vaspitanja i obrazovanja Godine uzleta ističe se, između ostalog, da vaspitač treba da ohrabruje decu da zamišljaju i maštaju, iznose pretpostavke i izražavaju svoje ideje, saznanja, osećanja i doživljaje na različite načine. U skladu sa tim, u radu su prikazani rezultati akcionog istraživanja koje je rađeno sa ciljem da se poveća dečji potencijal za kvalitetnije i svrsihodnije posmatranje i doživljavanje umetničkih dela, razvijanje interesovanja za ista, kao i da se poveća  motivacija za sopstveno likovno stvaralaštvo kod dece predškolskog i mlađeg osnovnoškolskog uzrasta uzrasta. Istraživanje je realizovano u pet faza:   upoznavanje sa životom i delom Salvadora Dalija; posmatranje reprodukcija odabranih dela; slikanje kombinovanim slikarskim i crtačkim tehnikama po uzoru na umetnička dela Salvadora Dalija; intervjuisanje dece na temu doživljaja dela Salvadora Dalija; izložba dečijih likovnih radova. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno četrdeset troje dece predškolskog i mlađeg osnovnoškolskog uzrasta. Rezultati istraživanja govore u prilog tome da su sva deca, bez obzira na uzrast, prepoznavala i definisala fantastične motive na delima Salvadora Dalija, te ih po sopstvenim zamislima prikazivala na svojim likovnim radovima, pritom ne „kopirajući“ umetnikova dela (reprodukcije).
VASPITAČKI POSAO U SRBIJI IZ PERSPEKTIVE VASPITAČA
Authors: Kiževski Mirjana , Radović Svetlana
Published: March 2024

U radu su prikazni rezultati anketnog istraživanja percepcije vaspitačkog posla iz perspektive samih vaspitača u Srbiji (N=182). Važnost proučavanja načina kako vaspitači gledaju na svoj posao, zasniva se na tezi da se dobrobit deteta, kao cilj predškolskog vaspitanja i obrazovanja, može postići ako je ostvarena dobrobit onih koji sa njima rade. Percepcija vaspitačkog posla analizirana je preko analize stepena opšteg zadovoljstva poslom, izvora zadovoljstva, teškoća sa kojima se suočavaju na poslu, percepcije položaja profesije u društvu, spremnosti da se promeni posao i spremnosti da se vaspitački posao preporuči mladima. Rezultati pokazuju relativno nisko opšte zadovoljstvo vaspitača poslom kojim se bave, izuzetno lošu percepciju položaja profesije u društvu (kako njene društvene valorizacije tako i valorizacije korisnika usluga, to jest roditelja), te posledično njihovu relativno visoku spremnost da promene posao i nespremnost da ga preporuče mladima. Rad sa decom i mogućnost ispoljavanja kreativnosti pružaju zadovoljstvo najvećem broju anketiranih vaspitača, a materijalne i nematerijalne pogodnosti najmanjem broju. Identifikovane teškoće sa kojima se vaspitači suočavaju tokom rada jesu: velike grupe dece, izazovi inkluzivnog rada, odnosi i komunikacija sa roditeljima ili zakonskim zastupnicima deteta, neuvažavanje stručnog mišljenja i neprepoznavanje vaspitačkih aktivnosti i postignuća kao značajnih u kolektivu, nedovoljan broj stručnog i tehničkog kadra u vrtićima i neuvažavanje stručnog mišljenja vaspitača od strane kreatora predškolske politike. Generalno, rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu za sistemskim bavljenjem time kako vaspitači gledaju na svoj posao, u kakvim uslovima rade i kako na njih utiče posao kojim se bave, kao preduslovima ostvarenja dobrobiti deteta.
Asymmetries in the transmission of energy price increases and decreases to underlying inflation in the euro area and Spain
Authors: Burriel Llombart Pablo , Odendahl Florens , Párraga Rodríguez Susana
Published: March 2024

Rationale

Energy prices rose sharply in early 2022 and then began to decline towards the end of the year. Given this situation, it is worth analysing whether an energy price increase raises underlying inflation more than an energy price decrease reduces it.

Takeaways

•Over a one-year horizon, a large hike in energy prices increases underlying inflation by around twice as much as an equivalent decrease reduces it.

•The asymmetry in the response of underlying inflation to changes in energy prices is greater in components that use more energy in their production process.

•Although asymmetry can be identified by analysing historical relationships, there is considerable uncertainty about the validity of such patterns in the current setting, which can be characterised by unprecedentedly large shocks that have driven both energy prices and underlying inflation.
Treatment of supra-infected mandibular cysts using a decompression device. A case report
Authors: Cucu Ghenadie , Zanoaga Oleg , Slabari Eugeiu , Chele Nicolae
Published: March 2024

The golden standard treatment for odontogenic cysts of the jaws is the method of enucleation or cystectomy. Although this method is commonly used, it has some disadvantages: it is traumatic, there is a high risk of damage to adjacent anatomical structures (mandibular canal, maxillary sinus, nasal cavity) or to the vascular-nervous bundle of the teeth adjacent to the formation, and it is limited to patients with concomitant decompensated chronic pathologies. Therefore, in the case of large-sized cysts (over 3 cm), minimally invasive methods (decompression with aspiration or marsupialization) are more frequently used. Therefore, in this article, the authors described the treatment of a clinical case of a giant infected odontogenic cyst of the mandible, using for the first time a special decompression and aspiration device, individually made of acrylate. As a result, the cystic cavity decreased in volume, and the process of bone apposition contributed to the removal of the formation from the mandibular canal content, which allowed the removal of the remaining cystic membrane without damaging it, avoiding the risk of subsequent paresthesia.

Published: March 2024

Inflammatory processes of the oromaxillofacial area remain a life-threatening medical and surgical emergency. One of the most severe complications associated with life-threatening OMF area infections is descending mediastinitis. Mediastinitis has an important place in the structure of oro-maxillofacial pathology both by its fulminant progression and the intensity of its manifestations. Mediastinitis in the OMF area occurs in the form of a strong inflammatory response of the mediastinal connective tissue as a result of the action of polymicrobial infection, with an increasing incidence and an equally high lethality of 70-80%. As one of the morbidity causes of OMF pathologies, with decreased immunity and work capacity of patients, polyvisceral damage coupled with septic shock, mediastinitis results in a significant impact on patients’ quality of life.

Authors: Motelica Gabriela , Beliniuc Sergiu , Chele Dumitru , Arnaut Oleg , Chele Nicolae
Published: March 2024

Odontectomy of the inferior wisdom teeth is considered to be one of the most frequently performed dental surgeries. It is certain that in order to prevent possible complications, the oral surgeon must have extensive knowledge regarding the anatomy of the region, possible intra– and postoperative risks, as well as treatment methods that would minimize the occurrence of complications. Of course, a key aspect in choosing the treatment technique and method is represented by the paraclinical investigations, and currently CBCT is considered to be the “golden” standard in visualizing the relationship of the third inferior molars to the neighboring anatomical structures, a fact that significantly contributes to the optimization the provision of dental surgical assistance. The purpose of this study was to reveal the role of the CBCT paraclinical radiological examination in the pre–surgical evaluation of the anatomical relationships of the roots of the lower third molars with the neighboring anatomical elements for the prophylaxis of postextractional complications. Material and methods. The prospective clinical study was based on the visualization of tomographic sections of 116 CBCTs, with a total of 160 inferior wisdom teeth, analyzing various study variables such as the relationship of the inferior wisdom teeth roots to the mandibular canal, to the lingual bony plate, root morphology, etc., with their subsequent statistical analysis. Results and discussion. The extraction of the lower wisdom teeth can be associated with the occurrence of various complications such as the association of postoperative infection, dislodging the teeth into the neighboring spaces, nerve damage. It is important to use preoperatively both the predictability scale of the difficulty of extraction of inferior third molar and the three–dimensional paraclinical investigations in order to plan a treatment plan involving low risks of intra– and postoperative complications. Conclusions. The use of three–dimensional paraclinical investigations such as CBCT are absolutely necessary both for visualizing the relationship between anatomical structures and for planning complex clinical cases.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. Orthognathic surgery involves all surgical interventions to correct musculoskeletal, dental and soft tissue deformities of the jaws, being the treatment method of choice for severe dento–maxillary anomalies, which cannot be rehabilitated by orthodontic treatment alone. The purpose. Evaluation of the particularities of diagnosis and treatment of patients with jaw anomalies in sagittal plane. Material and methods: 22 patients aged between 20 and 46 years, during the period 2016—2021. The surgical stage occurred in stationary conditions, and the clinical and paraclinical evaluation of the patients took place in dental clinic through photostatic examination, study models, radiological examination, intraoral scanning. Results: Predominance of patients with skeletal Class III (77.3%), compared to Class II (22,7%). Osteotomies used: Le Fort 1 for maxilla, osteotomy of the mandibular ramus Obwegeser — Dal Pont for the lower jaw and genioplasty for repositioning the chin. The unavoidable surgical trauma for the correct positioning of the jaws leads to intraoperative hemorrhages, hematomas and postoperative conditions acceptable from the point of view of the endured trauma. Conclusions. The orthodontic–surgical treatment is a safe method of rehabilitating patients with anomalies in sagittal plane, with postsurgical results superior to intraoperative risks and complications.

Published: March 2024

So far, the sinus lifting procedure is one of the most common interventions to create the vertical bone offer in the posterior areas of the maxilla, to facilitate the insertion of dental implants. Although the intervention has a high success rate, a series of specific complications such as the perforation of the Schneider membrane, the lack of stability of the implants or the infection of the graft could compromise the rehabilitation terms, the planned number of interventions or even the results of the treatment. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the integration of the sinus graft and dental implants following the sinus lifting procedure performed simultaneously with the intentional perforation of the sinus membrane and the removal of the foreign body.

Authors: Abdelghany Ahmed Mohamed , Ghaly Fathy Fathy , Allam Mohamed Farouk
Published: March 2024

Background. On 23 July 2022, the World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Monkeypox is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus that is transmitted from animals to humans or from human to human. To date, treatment for human monkeypox is mostly symptomatic, as there is no specific standard antiviral treatment. Persons with severe symptoms and signs, immunocompromised patients, children younger than 8 years, and pregnant individuals should be considered for specific antiviral treatment. Objective. This study aims to assess effectiveness of antiviral drugs in treatment of human monkeypox. Methodology. Published clinical trials and cohort studies on the role of antivirals in the management of human monkeypox that were identified through a comprehensive search of electronic databases up to April 1, 2023. The patients included were children and adults confirmed with monkeypox. The diagnosis was based on PCR or clinical symptoms. The intervention was antivirals administration in human monkeypox patients, versus supportive treatment/placebo. Outcome measured include the duration of monkeypox until recovery, need for hospitalization, and ICU admission. Results. We included four completed studies with 195 participants assessing the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of antiviral treatments for human monkeypox compared to placebo. Three studies investigated Tecovirimat (st-246), and one investigated Brincidofovir. Both drugs were safe, tolerable, and effective with no serious adverse effects. The other 5 studies were not completed and are ongoing. Conclusion. There are currently no approved antivirals for the treatment of monkeypox; some medications could be authorized for outbreak use and are now under investigation, such as Tecovirimat, Cidofovir, and Brincidofovir.

Prospettive di studio della performance musicale nella ricerca artistica
Authors: Caruso Giusy
Published: March 2024

In questo ultimo ventennio, lo studio della performance musicale si sta sviluppando su diversi fronti. All’approccio etnomusicologico, diretto all’analisi della performance nelle tradizioni musicali extraeuropee, si sono affiancati i ‘performance studies’, che hanno portato alla ‘svolta performativa’ e alla ‘svolta artistica’ e, quindi, alla nascita della ricerca artistica musicale incentrata a indagare il processo creativo della performance nella tradizione musicale occidentale. Ma quali sono nello specifico le nuove prospettive di studio della performance musicale rispetto alle domande di ricerca, agli obiettivi, ai metodi e ai risultati della ricerca artistica musicale? Il presente articolo offre una panoramica dei diversi approcci di studio della performance musicale, restringendo il campo ai metodi di analisi della performance di una composizione musicale scritta nell’ambito della ricerca artistica. Nel definire il percorso che determina la trasformazione della pratica musicale in ricerca sulla performance musicale, verranno evidenziate le problematiche relative alla scelta dei metodi, proponendo le divergenze e le convergenze dell’approccio strettamente artistico rispetto all’approccio scientifico. Saranno, quindi, presentati gli obiettivi della ricerca artistica musicale e un metodo misto che integra l’approccio analitico-performativo e l’approccio analitico-empirico. L’applicazione del digitale per la documentazione e l’analisi del gesto del performer sarà tema di discussione per far emergere le potenzialità del dialogo tra arte, scienza e tecnologia, foriero di innovative prospettive per lo studio della performance musicale nella ricerca artistica.
Come, pretty babe, un consort song di William Byrd dal testo scabroso
Authors: Bello Giambattista
Published: March 2024

I consort song – brani vocali con accompagnamento di un consort di viole da gamba – costituirono un genere molto in voga nell’Inghilterra degli ultimi decenni del XVI secolo, in piena età elisabettiana, genere in cui William Byrd eccelse. Tra i consort song che il compositore non pubblicò ce n’è uno, Come, pretty babe, dal testo piuttosto scabroso per l’epoca. Tratta, infatti, della maternità al di fuori del matrimonio. In questa ninna nanna, la madre si rivolge al suo piccolo confidandogli il dolore e l’angoscia per la situazione drammatica in cui versano. Nell’articolo viene data la traduzione del testo letterario, che viene discusso nel contesto sociale dell’epoca. Viene, inoltre, fornito un quadro generale dei consort song byrdiani. Si ipotizzano, altresì, le ragioni che indussero il Brittanicae Musicae parens a non dare alle stampe Come, pretty babe.
La produzione cameristica e solistica per archi di Francesco Ricupero. Il caso della Sonata per Violino e Cembalo
Authors: Poli Eugenio
Published: March 2024

In questo contributo si vuole analizzare la produzione cameristica e solistica per archi di Francesco Ricupero, compositore della seconda metà del Settecento di cui conosciamo pochissime notizie biografiche ma di cui possediamo un’enorme quantità di manoscritti musicali. Studiare e analizzare manoscritti e composizioni sconosciute può essere utile non solo per arricchire il repertorio di uno strumento ma per riportare in auge pratiche esecutive dimenticate e stili nascosti. Pur trattandosi di una produzione secondaria di un compositore pressoché dimenticato dalla storia della musica, risulta essere molto interessante, ricca di spunti e diversa da quanto scritto e composto a Napoli nella seconda metà del Settecento. Tale produzioni merita oggi approfondimenti, edizioni critiche ed esecuzioni. In particolare, analizzeremo la Sonata per violino e cembalo, una composizione molto particolare, composta solo in due movimenti, che mal si inserisce nel repertorio solistico dell'epoca.
Arvo Pärt e l’evoluzione dello stile Tintinnabuli nelle opere per violino. Tabula rasa (1977) e Fratres (1980)
Authors: Zeverino Silvia
Published: March 2024

Il presente saggio è una versione abbreviata e aggiornata del mio lavoro di Tesi Triennale sui principali brani per violino di Arvo Pärt. In seguito al mio diploma accademico di I livello ho avuto un’ulteriore opportunità per conoscere il compositore estone grazie alla mia visita all’Arvo Pärt Centre di Laulasmaa (Estonia) in occasione degli Arvo Pärt Days 2022; motivo per cui ho deciso di approfondire due dei brani già analizzati nel mio precedente lavoro, Tabula Rasa (1977) e Fratres (1980). Il risultato di questo studio è allo stesso tempo specifico e generale; il suo scopo principale è aumentare la conoscenza sulla figura di Arvo Pärt, liberandola da tutti gli stereotipi associati alla sua musica. La sua musica, infatti, è differente da tutto il resto. In via preliminare, il saggio analizza la sua personale tecnica compositiva, affrontando alcuni concetti chiave che torneranno più avanti nelle analisi di Tabula Rasa e Fratres. Poi, durante l'analisi dei due brani in questione, si cercherà di riscontare tecniche musicali ricorrenti nell’uso del violino e nella sua interazione con strumenti differenti.
L’altro è lo stesso? Una lettura postfreudiana del "Figlio cambiato" di Luigi Pirandello (pp. 58-69)
Authors: Zinato Emanuele
Published: March 2024

Il saggio si propone di mettere alla prova alcuni strumenti desumibili dalla teoria freudiana di Francesco Orlando e propone un’analisi del racconto di Pirandello Il figlio cambiato, 1923 (raccolto nell’ottavo volume delle Novelle per un anno) a partire sia dalla distinzione che dalla sovrapposizione, all’interno del testo, di elementi semantici che siamo abituati a concepire come distinti: naturale e soprannaturale, logica scientifica e pensiero magico. È possibile dunque riconoscere nel tema pirandelliano del doppio la manifestazione della logica delle emozioni: una logica diversa, che Ignacio Matte Blanco definirebbe “simmetrica” e che è tipica del funzionamento psichico inconscio.
The Relationship Between Live Births and CVD Among African American Women in Jackson Heart Study
Authors: Jones Elizabeth , Norris Keith , Jenkins Brenda , Addison Clifton , Payton Marinelle
Published: March 2024

Background Previous studies have reported mixed results on the relationship between live births and cardiovascular disease among African American females, with few controlling for an inclusive list of major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and/or including a large population of African American female participants. Methods To help clarify this issue we examined the relationship between live births and cardiovascular events, including major CVD risk factors in a well-studied, exclusively African American cohort. Data was from 3367 African American women, 21 and older, in the Jackson Heart Study. Myocardial Infraction (MI), Self-reported history of cardiac procedures, Coronary Heart Disease Status/History, Self-reported history of Carotid Angioplasty, Cardiovascular Disease history, and Heart Failure History were obtained from 2000 to 2004 interviews. Live births were self-reported. Chi-square test indicated a significant association between live births and the presence of CVD (p =.000). Logistic regression estimated the relationship between live births and cardiovascular events, adjusting for major cardiovascular risk factors. Results After adjusting for hypertension status, current smoking status, cholesterol status, diabetes status, family history of heart diseases (mother), family history of heart disease (father), age, frequency of alcohol use in the past 12 months, and the average number of drinks per week in the past 12 months, there was no longer a significant relationship between live births and the risk of CVD (AOR 1.012, 95% CI, 1.009-1.015, p=.895). Discussion The unadjusted significant relationship between live births and CVD events disappeared after adjusting for major CVD risk factors, which suggests that an association between live births and CVD is indirect and based on the distribution of CVD risk factors. Conclusion Therefore, we propose more research on the use of live births as a CVD indicator in African American/Black women to ensure that African American/Black women obtain optimum cardiovascular health and make informed reproductive decisions.

The availability of information or data regarding various affections forms a powerful tool for rendering appropriate treatment. The present study was designed to acquire data on fracture in small ruminants. This study will act as a base for policymakers to implement future projects in orthopedics for different species of animals. All the cases of bone affection at the indoor surgery clinic, Department of Veterinary Surgery, the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, for four years from 2016 to 2019 were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis was based on the clinical history, signs, and clinical examination and by radiograph. Treatment as medicinal or surgical interventions was provided wherever feasible. The data concerning species, sex, age, bone, type of fracture, and cause were compiled and analyzed by using the Chi-Square test. The overall incidence of fracture was found to be 4.47%. Caprine was the most common (96.136%) subject exposed to bone fracture. The fracture incidence was highest between 7 and 12 months of age, 76.40% in goats and 67.857% in sheep. Furthermore, male subjects were more prone to fracture (69.617%) and (15.405%) than females (30.383%), and (6.527%) in goats and sheep, respectively. The metacarpal (43.953%) in goats was affected bone most commonly with fracture, followed by the metatarsal (28.319%), tibia fibula (14.159%), radius–ulna (11.504%), humerus (1.475%), femur (0.590%). While in the case of sheep, metacarpal (40.476%) was followed by metatarsal (22.619%), tibia-fibula (26.190%), and radius–ulna (10.714%). Moreover, in bovines, the overall incidence of fracture was 1.82%. Similarly, in equines, fractures were mostly of radius-ulna (16.66%) and metatarsal (23.33%). The most common site of the fractures was located in the mid-shaft of a bone. Trauma (46.018%) was the most common cause of a fracture in goats, while in sheep, it fell from a height (40.476%). It was concluded that the metacarpal bone fracture was the most common fracture in  goats  than other animals.

The significance and influence of neutrosophic crisp set theory in numerous scientific domains, particularly topology, led us to construct a new definition of topology based on neutrosophic crisp sets, allowing us to regulate its key mathematical ideas. Therefore, we constructed this definition and dubbed it stable neutrosophic crisp topology, where we went over the key idea which is the interior with the vital features.

This study adopts the Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), specifically the textual metafunction, to explore cohesion in Ghanaian and American Presidential Inaugural Addresses (PIAs). The SFL theory is aided by the corpus-assisted approach to text analysis. In all, sixteen PIAs given by different presidents from the American and Ghanaian contexts constitute the corpus for the study. The findings revealed that both Ghanaian and American presidents make use of all the four grammatical cohesive devices as texture creation agents in their inaugural speeches. However, these cohesive agents were deployed at different frequencies. Unlike their Ghanaian counterparts, the American presidents chose grammatical cohesive devices that were comparatively more diverse. The findings have implications for the SFL theory and other research works on texture in political discourse in general and PIAs in particular.

Geoheritage is recognized as a component of cultural heritage, especially in the Toba Caldera Geopark area. The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between geoheritage and cultural heritage in the concept of abiotic ecosystems. The research method used in this research is empirical juridical or non-doctrinal with a sociological/empirical approach using a non-positivist approach, including reference studies and observations. The research results describe sarcophagi and megaliths carved from Toba tuff rock estimated to be 73,500 years old during the Pleistocene period and andesite lava 33,000 years old from the eruption of the Toba volcano.

Authors: Markos Shishay , Belay Berhanu , Dessie Tadelle
Published: March 2024

A survey was conducted in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, to characterize village chicken production systems using a questionnaire and group discussions. Data was analyzed using SPSS 22. Respondents provided supplementary feeds to chickens to improve yields and health. Sorghum, maize, sesame, tomato, onion, barley, and household food leftovers were the main supplementary feeds, although the types of cereal crops produced varied across agro-climates. Harvest and purchase were main sources of cereal and non-cereal chicken feeds, respectively. 50.4% considered summer, 48.8% winter as critical feed seasons. Farmers provided feeds to their chickens in the morning (98.7%), afternoon (69.6%), and evening (81.3%), and on the ground for collective feeding (97.9%). 59.5% of respondents constructed separate chicken houses, with 56.1% being permanent structures and 3.4% temporary. Chicken houses were constructed using materials such as mud, wood, iron sheet roofing, bamboo, grass, and plastic. 57.7% cleaned chicken houses, 66% once daily, and 2.1% not at all. Water was provided ad libitum (70.9%), once a day (7.5%), or twice a day (21.6%) from wells, taps, or rivers using various waterers. Eighty-six percent of the respondents cleaned chicken waterers, while the remaining 14% did not. Training is needed for house construction, feeding, watering, cleaning, and disinfection of feeders and waterers to prevent waterborne diseases.
La cultura del horror en las sociedades avanzadas: de la sociedad centrípeta a la sociedad centrífuga
Authors: Bericat Alastuey Eduardo
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo expone los principales resultados de una investigación realizada con el objeto de analizar el papel que cumplen las emociones colectivas en el mantenimiento del orden social. En concreto, trata de explicar el hecho de que las noticias más importantes que aparecen en los medios de comunicación sean noticias de horror, es decir, noticias en las que la muerte siempre aparece en el primer plano de la escena. Los informativos de los medios de comunicación expresan y fomentan la cultura del horror característica de nuestras sociedades avanzadas. Ahora bien, para entender esta cultura es preciso determinar previamente la naturaleza emocional del horror, así como establecer una definición sociológica de este sentimiento. El horror es una emoción compleja compuesta por sentimientos de terror, de asco y de conmoción. El horror, sociológicamente, puede entenderse como "la emoción mediante la que un orden social señala sus limites más extremos". El estudio concluye señalando que existen dos modos alternativos de mantener el orden y la cohesión en el seno de un sistema social. El primer modo de legitimación, característico de las sociedades centrípetas, funciona mediante la gran potencia atractiva que ejerce sobre el campo social un núcleo central de valores sociales positivos. El segundo, característico de las sociedades centrífugas, funciona mediante la gran potencia repulsiva que ejercen sobre el campo social las transgresiones flagrantes del orden moral. El modo típico en el que las sociedades centrífugas regulan el orden social explica la cultura del horror característica de nuestras sociedades avanzadas.
Hacia una sociología evolucionista de la revolución
Authors: Espina Montero Álvaro
Published: March 2024

El trabajo revisa la secuencia de las cuatro "generaciones" de teorías sociológicas de la revolución, contemplándola como un proceso de selección histórico-natural del conocimiento mejor adaptado a su objeto. A su vez, la revolución moderna se presenta como el proceso de cambio social evolucionista por excelencia. A través de ella, sin ninguna forma de determinismo, las sociedades tienden a seleccionar en la historia las modalidades de organización social -o "variedades", según Bagehot- que mejor contribuyen al progreso de la civilización, definida ésta como edad post-axial, de acuerdo con Jaspers y Eisenstadt. La mundanización del impulso axial hacia la trascendencia explica el carácter catártico de los procesos revolucionarios modernos y permite distinguirlos de las revoluciones premodernas y de otros procesos formalmente similares. Finalmente, el modelo de elección racional permite contemplar las tres modalidades principales de revolución moderna -liberal, socialista y democrática- bajo un mismo prisma analítico, en el que unas y otras "variedades" revolucionarias aparecen al mismo tiempo como alternativas y como opciones sucesivas, compitiendo todas ellas con el modelo paretiano de circulación de las élites, de carácter también estrictamente evolucionista.
El personal del sistema nacional de salud, ¿una refutación de la jaula de hierro burocrática?
Authors: Guillén Mauro F.
Published: March 2024

El Instituto Nacional de Salud (INSALUD) es la organización publica de asistencia asistencia sanitaria en España. Gestiona el 25 % de todas las camas hospitalarias y cuenta con 230000 empleados. Sus recursos físicos consisten en cuatro tipos de servicios para el paciente hospitalizado y siete tipos de servicios para el paciente no internado. La distribución del personal de INSALUD y de sus recursos físicos a través de España es presentada junto con la población y los índices socioeconómicos, mostrando que ni el personal ni las camas son proporcionales a la población, sino que, por el contrario, esto depende del nivel del desarrollo económico del área (específicamente, las áreas más ricas atraen a más personal), de los tipos y del tamaño de las instituciones sanitarias allí situadas, de la influencia del sector público en ese área, y de las actitudes de los profesionales de la salud. Es evidente que actualmente, a finales de los 80, se están dedicando recursos insuficienes a la asistencia primaria; en concreto, el desequilibrio entre centros que atienden a un volumen alto de población y el número de ambulatorios con el que cuentan, necesita ser corregido
Estimación de los errores muestrales mediante el método de los conglomerados últimos
Authors: Aparicio Pérez Félix
Published: March 2024

Los datos de las encuestas están sometidos a dos tipos de errores: errores de muestreo y otros que no son de muestreo. La mayoría de las muestras auténticas son más complicadas que los ejemplos que aparecen en los libros de texto, y a menudo, no responden a las condiciones para el uso de los fórmulas de estos libros de textos. Los términos, las definiciones, y las fórmulas para computar el error de muestreo a priori se proporcionan con mayor atención a la estimación relativa que al error absoluto. Un modelo de los Conglomerados Ultimos para estimar el error de muestreo a posteriori se explica en el contexto de una muestra estratificada, de un territorio que incluye uno o más estratos, y de un territorio incluido íntegramente dentro de la muestra. Este modelo es aplicado a los datos obtenidos en un estudio postelectoral del año 1988 de las provincias catalanas, y se comparan las estimaciones a priori de error de muestreo derivadas del modelo teóricocon las estimaciones resultantes tras aplicar el modelo real. Las diferencias confirman que el modelo de Conglomerados Ultimos debe ser utilizado cuando más que de una simple muestra escogida al azar se trate de una muestra pensada para una población finita
La dialéctica nación / estado o la antropología del extraño
Authors: Lisón Tolosana Carmelo
Published: March 2024

Citando los ejemplos de los Tamils de Sri Lanka, los Sikhs de la India, los chinos non-Han, las sublevaciones populares en Afganistán contra los rusos, las de Cisjordania contra los judíos israelíes y en Rusia contra la minoría étnica rusa, el nacionalismo y el rechazo de "lo extranjero" se postula como la realidad cultural del siglo XX. Se presume como causa la tecnología, que propicia un acercamiento del mundo hacia una cultura global, existiendo así una lucha por mantener identidades nacionales familiares; de este modo, "lo extranjero" es reprimido violentamente. "Lo extranjero", incluyendo lo positivo y lo negativo que se le atribuye, ha sido una fuerza universal en la historia humana; una ayuda a las sociedades para analizar ambigüedades en épocas de agitación.
Problemas actuales de la sociología en torno a la salud pública
Authors: Armendaiz Pérez-Fraile Joaquin
Published: March 2024

La salud pública aparece como un fenómeno socialmente institucionalizado donde intervienen contradictorios intereses que, en definitiva, llegan a determinar sobre la vida o la muerte del individuo. Es, pues, pertinente para el sociólogo adentrarse en el espinoso campo de estudio que ofrece la sanidad y la medicina. Desde aquí trazamos tres enfoques teóricos para desarrollar la sociología en esta área. Igualmente, se describen la estructuración de la Organización Sanitaria en España y los motivos para una reflexión sobre la reforma del sistema. Desde la metodología de las Ciencias Sociales, se ha hecho hincapié en la aportación que implica la Etnometodología y la aplicación de la Psicología Social para estas investigaciones. Finalmente, se aporta una sucinta revisión sobre el concepto de salud y enfermedad.
