A PUBLICAÇÃO DE OS HERDEIROS E O CONTEXTO SOCIAL FRANCÊS
Authors: Lopes Luana
Published: July 2021

A publicação da obra Os herdeiros: os estudantes e a cultura, de Pierre Bourdieu e Jean-Claude Passeron, foi uma importante análise sobre as desigualdades do sistema educacional francês nos anos 1960. Do mesmo modo, a obra representa hoje a antecipação da Sociologia da Educação de ambos os autores. Apesar de que as análises foram empreendidas pelos dois sociólogos franceses, a sua construção é resultado da ampla participação de outros professores. À vista disso, este artigo visa apresentar o contexto de produção intelectual coletiva da obra explorando como se deu a participação na coleta de dados feita por pesquisadores e professores das diferentes instituições de ensino na França. Do mesmo modo, pretende-se analisar a influência do contexto social e econômico francês que, em ascensão, que resultou em investimentos nas pesquisas acadêmicas, propiciando a coleta de dados para a obra. O artigo também busca refletir sobre o contexto de após a sua publicação e seus desfechos diante das manifestações de Maio de 1968. Ademais, ressalta-se a importância das análises do livro para as investigações brasileiras, tendo em vista que, as desigualdades anunciadas pelos autores na década de 1960, apenas foram observadas, no Brasil, anos mais tarde, principalmente, em decorrência da expansão do ensino superior.

O aumento da geração de resíduos sólidos está intrinsicamente relacionado com o crescimento populacional, os hábitos de consumo, a urbanização e a economia de uma região. Embora existam tecnologias para mitigar os impactos ambientais tais como a segregação e reciclagem de resíduos, o comprometimento dos moradores em realizar o manejo adequado dos resíduos sólidos se torna essencial. Em vista disso, este trabalho teve por objetivo compreender o comportamento dos moradores de Pontal do Paraná, região litorânea do Estado do Paraná, em relação a separação dos resíduos sólidos. Para a obtenção dos dados, 101 indivíduos foram entrevistados aos quais responderam questões sobre segregação de resíduos e meioambiente, e foram agrupados em grau de ensino formal, idade, sexo e profissão. Observou-se que a percepção ambiental varia de acordo com o grau de instrução dos atores sociais, principalmente pela cultura e o meio social em que vivem. O acesso a um nível educacional maior sugere um comportamento melhor em relação a separação dos resíduos. Para a maioria dos entrevistados, a divulgação das ações ambientais tais como o programa de coleta seletiva é deficiente no município, e não atinge os comerciantes e residentes em relação à segregação dos resíduos gerados.

A Review of Visual Metaphor Based on Visual Typologies and Verbalization Forms
Authors: Xu Ziya , Cao Shuo , Zhao Xuanyi
Published: July 2021

This study is a result of literature review of visual metaphors in the fields of linguistics and advertising. The collected fifty papers came from CNKI. It provided an overview of previous literature, in terms of multi-modal studies of visual metaphor in advertising, the typologies of visual rhetoric and the verbalization of visual metaphor. Based on the identified research gaps, this study proposed suggestions for future research to enrich the theoretical framework of visual metaphor. The review found that the study of visual metaphors remain insufficient in three aspects. Firstly, the relevant studies are mostly in the field of marketing, and lack of extension in linguistics. Secondly, most studies concerned about the cognitive effects of visual metaphor in advertising, but the cognitive processing form of visual metaphor was less focused. Furthermore, although some studies have proved that verbalization is necessary for the comprehension of visual metaphors, there is still no clear conclusion regarding the specific verbalization forms of different types of visual metaphors. Specifically, three syntactic structures have been hypothetically proposed for fusion-structured visual metaphors, as “A is like B, A is B, A with B”, but no empirical evidence suggests which is the most effective in conceptual representation of fusion-structured visual metaphors in advertising. Through the analysis of the differences between these syntactic structures, the author proposed that the verbalization form “A is B” should be the most effective in representing fusion-structured visual metaphors in the context of advertising for its basic metaphorical structure, easily comprehensible form and strong transformational effect.
Antireflux surgery is required after endoscopic treatment for Barrett’s esophagus

Published: July 2021

Introduction: Barrett’s esophagus is an acquired condition that develops as a result of transformation of normal stratified squamous epithelium in the lower part of the esophagus into columnar epithelium. Barrett’s esophagus is considered to be a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Various endoscopic techniques have been shown to be successful in the treatment of this condition. However, long-term success in preventing further esophageal dysplasia is not clear. Biological welding consists in the application of controlled high-frequency current on living tissues and has been used to stop gastrointestinal bleeding, similarly to the APC technique which involves ablation of small intestinal metaplasia of the esophageal mucosa.
 Aim: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic techniques in the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus and verify the need for a subsequent surgical intervention in patients with GERD complicated by Barrett’s esophagus.
 Material and methods:  Patients with Barrett’s esophagus C1-3M2-4 (Prague classification from 2004) and high dysplasia without nodules, as well as patients with confirmed GERD without hiatal hernia, were included in this study. Endoscopic treatment was performed with the use of argonoplasmic coagulation (APC) and high-frequency welding of living tissues (HFW). After the examination the patients were re-examined. Patients with recurrence of metaplasia and high DeMeester score (˃ 100) underwent antireflux surgery – crurography and Nissen fundoplication with creation of a soft and short cuff.
Results: A total of 89 patients were included in the study, 81 of whom were reexamined after ablation of Barrett’s esophagus.In 12 patients, a recurrence of intestinal metaplasia resembling the small intestine was identified. Implementation of two-stage treatment was required for 9 patients – it involved a second procedure of ablation of the esophagus, followed by antireflux surgery. Surgical treatment was refused by 3 patients, who underwent only the second ablation procedure. All patients received drug therapy, consisting of prokinetics and proton pump inhibitors. Esophageal pH monitoring was repeated 3 months after surgery, showing normalization of the DeMeester score. As a result, the patients experienced no complaints such as heartburn, chest pain or dysphagia, which significantly improved their quality of life. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and biopsy of the mucous membrane of the lower third of the esophagus were performed in accordance with the Seattle Protocol. After examining histological specimens, no regions of metaplasia were identified.
Conclusion: Antireflux surgery is required as a part of the treatment for Barrett’s esophagus, which prevents further dysplasia and development of esophageal cancer.

Published: July 2021

 Introduction: Focused parathyroidectomy is the gold standard treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to single gland disease with a comparable success rate as that of conventional four gland exploration. It is also associated with fewer surgical complications. Despite these benefits, there is still controversy about the high recurrence following the focused approach.

 Aim: The aim was to analyse our experience regarding the success rate of focused parathyroidectomy for PHPT.

 Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 192 patients of PHPT between January 2017 and August 2020 who underwent focused parathyroidectomy without intraoperative parathormone analysis, and had a minimum follow up of six months. Demographic profile, biochemical (pre and postoperative), radiological, operative and histological detail of all patients were recorded. Parathyroidectomy was considered curative if the patient maintained normal serum calcium and parathormone (PTH) levels six months after surgery. Persistent hyperparathyroidism was considered if hypercalcemia or high PTH levels persisted, or recurrent disease when a patient had rising serum calcium and / or PTH levels six months after curative parathyroidectomy.

 Results: No patient had pain and wound-related complications after parathyroidectomy. Two patients had voice change in the immediate postoperative period which recovered subsequently; no patient had documented vocal cord paralysis. The persistent disease was present in two patients; both required neck exploration. Five patients had recurrence of PHPT within six months of parathyroidectomy; all of them had hyperplasia on the final biopsy. The overall cure rate was 97.92%.

 Conclusion: Therefore, we propose focused surgery for sporadic PHPT should be considered as a preferred treatment with acceptable recurrence rate and surgical complications.

Initial reference search yielded 831 articles. After removing duplicates, 601 articles were evaluated through titles and abstracts. This produced 32 papers suitable for full-text review. Four articles were excluded due to wrong study design, 3 because of the wrong type of intervention, 2 – the lack of primary outcome, 7 were duplicates and 11 were conference abstracts only. Finally, we enrolled 1 RCT and 4 comparative studies with a total of 838 patients, 307 in the LSG + HHR group and 531 in the LSG group (Tab. I.) [5, 10–13]. The flowchart of literature search and study selection is summarized in Fig. 1.

 GERD improvement was reported by 5 authors. Fig. 2. shows analysis based on non-event analysis. There were no significant differences between the analyzed studies, 107/171 (62.6%) in HHR+ vs. 78/131 (59.5%) in HHR-, P = 0.74. Heterogeneity between the analyzed studies was moderate, I2 = 66% (Fig. 2.). The “de-novo” GERD was reported in 5 studies. There were no statistically significant differences between the analyzed groups, 26/139 (18.7%) in HHR+ vs. 101/403 (25.1%) in HHR-, P = 0.77. Heterogeneity between the analyzed studies was moderate, I2 = 73% (Fig. 3.).

null

Operative time was reported by 3 authors. In all studies, LSG with HHR was significantly longer than LSG alone. When the random effects model was used, the difference between groups was statistically insignificant with heterogeneity of I2 = 98%. Sensitivity analysis showed that the study by Lasnibat is responsible for all heterogeneity. After excluding this study the difference was statistically significant (I2 = 0%, P < 0.01). Since all studies showed operative time in favor of LSG, despite high heterogeneity, a fixed effects model was used.

 Morbidity was reported in 3 studies. There were no statistically significant differences in any study as well as when the data was pooled, 9/132(6.8%) in LSG +HHR vs. 11/148(7.4%); P = 0.97. The heterogeneity between the studies was low, I2 = 8% (Fig. 5.).

Influence of coating grammage on the utility properties of coated papers.The paper coating offers the opportunity to create a product with high added value, the potential of which has been recognized by both paper mills and polygraphs.Indeed, paraffin coatings have excellent barrier, sliding and strength properties, and also increase the quality and durability of the print.
This paper presents the results of the research on the influence of the coating weight on the functional properties of the coated paper. To this end, a commercially available paper was coated with a paraffin emulsionusing various Mayer rods and then tested using standard mechanical, surface, and water absorption tests. It was found that the coating of the base paper, regardless of the amount of the applied mixture, significantly influences its hydrophobic, surface, and strength properties. Papers with the highest coating weight allowed to obtain a paper with increased strength and high surface smoothing. The completed coatings significantly increased the water barrier, regardless of their thickness

The occurrence of disasters in Brazil by natural processes has been increasing along the years. One of these phenomena is mass movements, a destructive phenomenon which may cause damage to socioeconomic. The morphometric variables are becoming useful in geomorphologic analysis, mainly in diagnosis of susceptible areas to those processes. This way, the objective of this work is to identify susceptible areas of mass movements in the interface between meridional plateau and the central depression in Vale do Taquari region, using geomorphometric variable at a scale of 1:250.000. This morphometric analysis contains Remote Sensing and geoprocessing, so it becomes an effective and low cost method. GIS software (Geographic Information System) was used to maps algebra from the statistical methods AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and Delphi, in which pondering and the hierarchy of influential variables in this analysis. The final product is an analysis map of susceptibility to mass movements in the mentioned region. In the map it is observed that the region has a high degree of susceptibility in most aspects. With this data it is possible to carry out a proper planning and management of the territory, providing more safety to the occupation of those areas.
Legacy of the triad: Architecture in medieval Serbia between style and ideology in the work of Aleksandar Deroko
Authors: Ignjatović Aleksandar
Published: July 2021

Despite criticism that has been leveled against Gabriel Millet's well-known tripartite subdivision of architecture of medieval Serbia into three distinct 'schools', its scholarly authority still remains largely unchallenged. Yet what is believed to have stemmed from Millet's ingenious research was inextricably linked with the ideological project of Serbian national emancipation during the first decades of the twentieth century. His stylistic triad of L'école de Rascie, L'école de la Serbie Byzantine and L'école de la Morava had an unexpectedly vivid and profound afterlife in the entirely new context of socialist Yugoslavia - in terms of both scholarship and ideological resonance. Its main proponent was Serbian architectural historian Aleksandar Deroko, whose book entitled Monumental and Decorative Architecture in Medieval Serbia apparently only reiterated the existing subdivision of medieval architecture by simply changing the word 'schools' into 'groups'. Nevertheless, a closer look at three successive editions of the book published in 1953, 1962 and 1985 reveals a series of Deroko's encounters with the Milletian framework, suggesting that his enterprise can be seen as instrumental to the ideological re-appropriation of medieval heritage in the context of the national question in Yugoslavia.
Aleksandar Deroko's work on medieval architecture and its relevance today
Authors: Bogdanović Jelena
Published: July 2021

Meticulous record of more than 300 medieval structures, extensive fieldwork on numerous archeological sites, more than 100 texts and several critical books on medieval architecture mark professor Aleksandar Deroko's work on preserving medieval architectural heritage in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. They are all aptly illustrated with his drawings and photographs. Deroko's genuine interest in medieval architecture and its preservation shaped his student days between the two world wars, a period also characterised by a clash between traditionalism and modernism in architecture. Destruction from war, public negligence of medieval heritage, the so-called "golden rush" when many hoped to uncover lost medieval treasures, and the overall lack of clear methodologies for the preservation of architectural heritage displeased young Deroko, who often publicly expressed his opinion on the urgent need for medieval structures to be saved and restored, and in particular religious architecture. Even his undergraduate thesis for his architectural degree, which focused on the Church of St. Sava in Belgrade, was inspired by medieval religious architecture and its values. This paper addresses the relevance of Deroko's work today, especially in the light of his understanding of medieval architecture as art and a dynamic cultural symbol relevant for architectural practices.
Beauty and building stereotype: Aesthetics of the architecture
Authors: Milani Raffaele
Published: July 2021

In this paper we examined the stereotype as a resilient model of types of created objects, a repeated and repeatable image of a manufacturing process, and a standardised model of virtuality; in other words, stereotyping gives form to things within a system of objects reproduced serially. The centuries-old synthesis of artisanship and material has been transformed in our times into design. To reconstruct an object means to retrace the techniques that produced it, including traditional ones. In terms of the relationship among technologies, there is a heated debate between those who want to defend the traces of the past as a memory important for the future, as well as an instrument for harmonising the masses, and those who favour the absolute novelty of the hybrid style that is now in vogue after the modernist phase. The latter support deregulating the manufacture of architectural objects and the incoherent, improvised organisation of the suburban environment. Throughout history there have been important differences of opinion on the value of humankind, quality of life, ways of thinking, and forms of culture and art
The added value of regenerative architecture and contemporary aesthetic philosophy
Authors: Wheeler Andrea
Published: July 2021

Regenerative architecture seeks to impact positively on the environment. It aims to produce buildings that reduce the degenerative consequences of human activity and add positively to the environment. To add value, in dimensions such as beauty, included in the design approaches of regenerative architecture, and in, for example, the Living Building Challenge, where the biophilic and biomimetic are raised as aspirations, however, poses some fundamental questions for the ways of thinking that underlie regenerative architecture and the discipline of architecture. Design tools suggest that the "greater than character" can be determined, measured even, in all categories, but aspirations also call for radical changes to the way we see and understand human lives. Understandings of aesthetics and the primacy of a sensory connection with the environment are little acknowledged questions within the philosophy of regenerative design outside the suggestion of biophilia. In this paper, I examine the foundations of environmental aesthetics: stories, myths, dreams and the importance of the creative imagination in understanding and reevaluating the way we see and understand human lives and our relationship to our built and natural environments.
A study of the biological concept in architectural thought: A comparison between 'Der raum als membran' (1926) and 'Metabolism' (1960)
Authors: Hasegawa Shiho
Published: July 2021

This study analyzes the biological influence on the architecture in the 20th century by focusing on two particular biological architectural thought; "Der Raum als Membran (Space as Membrane)" by Siegfried Ebeling in 1926 and "Metabolism" by a group of Japanese architects in 1960. First, I discuss "Der Raum als Membran". Ebeling saw architecture or space as a biological membrane, like skin or a cell, and he proposed a theory of biological architecture. He not only introduced into planning an environment this biological metaphor with its flexibility of a membrane but also incorporated a biological concept like Umwelt. Second, I investigate a manifesto by the name of "Metabolism", which was produced in 1960 by a group of Japanese architects. They thought buildings and urban designs had an existence and underwent metabolism, which is a basic function of living things, and proposed variable and proliferate architectures having dynamic time spans. By comparing these biological architectural concepts, I point out three main similarities: 1) the expansion of the biological concept into architecture; 2) the cell as a metaphor; and 3) dynamic buildings or urban design. Although the authors had different backgrounds, all of them introduced new architectural ideas in their own times.
Aesthetics and cultural aspects of Bauhaus: Towards a new conception
Authors: Wagner Christiane
Published: July 2021

This article covers the new possibilities of the Bauhaus worldview: the creation of new forms for depicting human ideals through a focus on aesthetics and technology, combined with Niemeyer's impact on architecture and design. New styles and shapes have arisen as offshoots from Bauhaus, conveying the values of each culture through the construction of a collective "picture" world. The Bauhaus of today expresses the culture industry, dialectically considering innovation and applied art as a path from the modern design of the industrial revolution to "eco-design." In this sense, Bauhaus is still significant in its role, linking together art, technology, and industry. Innovation as a dynamic determination of the moment, present in all epochs, is understood as a potent force for maintaining tradition. In addition to a chronological record of the influence of Bauhaus, the significant projects of Niemeyer are discussed. Finally, two perspectives on the "schism" between architecture and technology are presented. The first perspective concerns the human ability to create models in architectural practice for adoption as a configuration of the space. The second relates the evolution of technologies leading to the imagined becoming a reality through time, as described by Hegel (1823).
Classical architecture in the scope of Kantian aesthetics: Between Lyotard and Rancière
Authors: Tatla Helen
Published: July 2021

Classical architecture's inherent potentiality to constitute the principal architectural expression of western culture since Greek antiquity is due to its dual character: although it comes out from the primordial unity of things expressed by myth and religion in archaic times, it acquires its form of completion in the fifth c. BC, as a symbol of democracy and a harmonic articulation of the world on the ground of philosophical thinking. By placing the avant-guard art in the sphere of the Kantian sublime, Jean-Francois Lyotard focuses on the impossibility of an absolute relation between reason and perception or between thinking and image, in modernity. He considers that in cases where this happens, it gives birth to political monsters. He connects postmodern expressions of classicism in architecture with Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams" and the Kantian beautiful. Jacques Ranciere's approach to a Kantian in basis aesthetic consideration of modernity is opposite to that proposed by Lyotard. Instead of the sublime, Ranciere relates the beautiful with the rupture between thinking and perception . In this respect, fragments of the past can stimulate a creative procedure in the present. This investigation aims to contribute to the dialogue for a renovated approach to the role of classicism in architecture today.
Isolation, characterisation and antibiotic susceptibility of staphylococcal isolates with special reference to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from the anterior nares of healthcare workers in A tertiary healthcare centre

Published: July 2021

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and its resistant form methicillinresistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens causing a wide range of infections in humans. The anterior nares are the main ecological niche for S. aureus. Nasal carriage of S. aureus acts as an important reservoir of infection among the colonised healthcare workers and they transmit the infection to the community. The aim of the present study was to estimate the nasal colonisation of S. aureus (with special reference to MRSA) in healthcare workers (doctors and nursing staff) and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Methods: A descriptive study was planned in the Department of Microbiology, JLN Medical College, Ajmer (Rajasthan, India) after due approval from the institutional ethics committee. A total of 170 healthcare workers of either sex aged between 18 to 60 years were screened for S. aureus. Identification was done using standard microbiological techniques, by studying their morphology, colony and biochemical characteristics. MRSA was detected by cefoxitin disc diffusion test, oxacillin disc diffusion test, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin by E-test and oxacillin screen agar test. The observations were described in proportions and Chisquared test was used to find independence. Statistical significance was considered at 5 %. Results: Among 170 samples, 159 (93.53 %) samples (50 doctors and 109 nursing staff) had staphylococci colonisation. Among these 159 isolates, 34 (21.38 %) were S. aureus. Further, 8 (5.03 %) S. aureus isolates were resistant to both cefoxitin and oxacillin and had oxacillin MIC values ≥ 4 µg/mL and were considered MRSA. All the MRSA were detected in the nursing staff (males: 5.50 %, females: 1.83 %). All S. aureus and MRSA isolates were found sensitive to linezolid, vancomycin and mupirocin (minimum inhibitory concentration ≤ 4 µg/mL). Conclusion: Screening and treatment of healthcare workers colonised with MRSA should be an important component of hospital infection control policy. These measures will prevent spread of infection to patients and the community and thereby reduce the morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs associated with nosocomial infections.

Introduction: Since December 2019, the humanity is constantly under affection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite global dissemination, neither the treatment or the specific predictive factors have been found or strictly defined yet. Aim: Aim of this study was to assess the long-term (1 year) predictive value of high-sensitive Troponin T (hsTnT) in COVID-19 affected, hospitalised patients. Methods: Between 5 March 2020 and 31 March 2020, 87 consecutive patients hospitalised at University Clinical Centre of the Republic of Srpska due to SARS-CoV2caused pneumonia, in whom hsTnT was measured, were included. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess differences in all-cause mortality between the groups. Independent predictors of all-cause mortality were identified through univariateand multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Compared with patients who had normal hsTnT levels, patients with raised hsTnT were significantly older (70.7 ± 13.23 vs 49 ± 15.29; p < 0.001). Glucose values were significantly increased in patients with raised hsTnT (9.29 ± 5.14 vs 6.76 ± 2.46 [4.1-5.9] mmol/L; p = 0.005), as well as serum creatinine (179.07 ± 225.58 vs 87.53 ± 18.16 µmol/L; p = 0.01), hsTnT (187.43 ± 387.29 vs 7.58 ± 3.40 pg/mL; p = 0.003), D-dimer (5.94 ± 13.78 vs 1.04 ± 1.26 [0-0.50] mg/L; p = 0.024), C-reactive protein (125.92 ± 116.82 vs 69.97 ± 73.09) [< 5.0] mg/L; p = 0.009) and calcium (1.32 ± 0.46 vs 1.03 ± 0.173 [2.20-2.65] mmol/L; p = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the number of all-cause deaths at 1 year was 19 of whom 18 were presented with elevated hsTnT (log-rank p < 0.001). When univariate Cox regression was applied, multiple predictors of all-cause mortality have been identified ie age, haemoglobin, haematocrit, urea, CK-MB as well as hsTnT. In a multiple regression model, hsTnT remained an independent predictor of poor outcome. Conclusion: Results from this study showed that the value of hsTnT during hospitalisation is possibly associated with long-term poor outcome of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, hsTnT may appear as a surrogate factor to differentiate between patients at high risk who need more intensive follow-ups.
Probabilistic model to predict the outcome in acute suicidal chemical poisoning cases from age and gender of patient and type of chemical poison consumed

Published: July 2021

Background: Acute chemical poisoning is a significant global health problem. Chemical poisons include agrochemical, household and industrial poison subtypes. The present study used a probabilistic model based on age, gender and type of poison consumed by the patient to predict the outcome in acute suicidal poisoning cases. Material and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at emergency department of SMS Hospital, Jaipur, India, from January 2019 to February 2020. Patients over 15 years of age with poisoning severity score 2 or above were included in the study. Probabilistic model was used to predict the outcome measured in terms of cure, death and left against medical advice (LAMA) using Minitab 14. Results: Poisoning cases were 0.32 % of all emergency presentations. Out of them, 857 (59.6 %) had consumed chemical poison. Their mean age was 32 years and men to women ratio was 1.22. Agrochemical subtype was most common followed by household and industrial poisoning. Analysis by Probabilistic model showed that person between 30-60 years is more likely to be cured and chances of death and LAMA are highest in age group 60-75. Gender-wise, men have higher possibility for recovery. Besides, a person has highest chances of recovery in case of household poisons; death is most common in industrial poisons and LAMA in agrochemical poisons. Conclusion: The study concluded that in poisoning, patients' basic information like age, gender, type of poison consumed can be used to identify high death probability and LAMA risk patients. It will assist in designing and monitoring the most effective strategies for them.

Background/Aim: A school bag is a device whose purpose is to store things that are necessary for a child in performing daily productive activities. The aim of the research was to examine how much parents are informed about the school bag and which specifications are crucial when choosing a school bag for their children. Material and methods: The prospective study included 150 parents of students aged 11 to 12 from Banja Luka. For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire with closed and open questions was used. Results: More than 97 % of the surveyed parents belonged to the age range of 30 to 49 years. The largest number of surveyed parents have had secondary education 44 %, but the number of university-educated parents was also very high 39.3 %. Ninety-six percent of students used a backpack. School bags in 97.4 % of cases were purchased in stores. Only in 10 % of cases, school bags fully meet the basic criteria. In the remaining 90 % of cases, there was an absence of at least one or more desired characteristics. Using the Chi-squared test (ch2 = 245.45; p < 0.001), a significant difference between the desired and the achieved result was statistically proven. 77.3 % of parents did not receive information about the school bag. Salespeople (11.3 %), other parents and friends (9.3 %) were the main source of information before purchasing a school bag. In the future, 54 % of parents would like to get information about the school bag through lectures and practical workshops for children and parents. Conclusion: Greater information enables adequate selection and reduces the possibility of marketing tricks and influences on consumers when choosing the desired product such as a school bag. Parents have an important role to play in ensuring unhindered growth and development during the educational process and in raising children's awareness and supervision of the proper use of the school bag.

Background/Aim: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is considered to be a drop in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (> 20 mmHg; > 10 mmHg) 3 minutes from postural changes. The objective of this study was to analyse the correlation of body mass index (BMI) and OH during the treatment with trandolapril, as a single-drug treatment of hypertension. Methods: The study involved 255 patients (average age 54.3 ± 11.7; 54.1 % men) with poorly regulated hypertension, who were given trandolapril as a single-drug treatment. The patients were divided into two groups regarding stage of hypertension: first-degree arterial hypertension (140-149 mmHg for systolic and 90-109 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure) and second-degree arterial hypertension (> 150 for systolic and > 110 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure). Incidence of OH occurrence was then analysed regarding hypertension stage and BMI during 6 months of follow-up, on 4 control examinations. Results: During 24-week period after trandolapril introduction into the treatment of hypertension, a statistically significant difference in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values was observed. No statistically significant difference was observed in incidence of OH between the first and second as well as between third and fourth examination during the study. Regarding the incidence of OH in normal body weight and obese patients, there was also no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: As shown in this study, trandolapril, along with some other ACE inhibitors, has shown good balance in hypertension control and OH occurrence.

Este artículo pretende analizar la jurisprudencia constitucional colombiana referente a la justicia transicional, utilizando para ello la metodología de análisis del precedente constitucional esbozado por Diego López Medina, con el fin de revisar la forma en cómo la jurisprudencia ha permitido cimentar a la justicia transicional como una categoría constitucional, en donde ésta ha jugado un papel fundamental a través de la fijación del alcance de la misma, como una garantía superior que permite la defensa de los derechos de las víctimas.
La alternativa al juicio en la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas
Authors: Lafont Nicuesa Luis
Published: July 2021

Hace ya diez años que la responsabilidad penal de la persona jurídica se introdujo en nuestro país como la gran innovación que en siglos ha experimentado nuestra dogmática penal. A los  problemas conceptuales, que supone tener que investigar a entes sin cerebro humano y que no pueden ir a prisión, se unen problemas prácticos de escasez de medios personales y materiales de las autoridades para adentrarse en los intrincados caminos laberinticos de  corporaciones complejas y generar pruebas de calidad. España parte de una desventaja como es que todavía no ha incorporado a su sistema legal formulas procesales de desviación del juicio, que permitan a un fiscal suspender la acusación si se cumplen unos requisitos de pago de multa y compromiso de adoptar medidas de reforma interna en la empresa. El objeto del presente trabajo es estudiar las alternativas al juicio que se siguen en diferentes países y generar un debate sobre la viabilidad en España como medio de potenciar la autodenuncia en las empresas y la participación de España en investigaciones  internacionales conjuntas.
Clasificación legal de las fuerzas y cuerpos de seguridad en una ley mediatizada e inobservada
Authors: Del Arco Moreno Ángel Luis
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo, partiendo de la gestación de la LOFCS y los condicionantes que en su momento concurrieron para su aprobación, procedemos al análisis de la casuística surgida en su aplicación que ha derivado en algunas contradicciones que han ido apareciendo en la práctica y que parecen precisar un reforma de este cuerpo normativo.
La jurisprudencia ante el derecho global
Authors: Iglesias Sevillano Héctor
Published: July 2021

El artículo 1 del Código Civil, al enumerar las fuentes del derecho, ignora dos fuentes fundamentales del derecho contemporáneo: las normas supranacionales y la jurisprudencia. Para las primeras propondremos un modelo de eficacia recepticia, que luego podría ser alegada ante los órganos judiciales internos y tribunales arbitrales. En segundo lugar, identificaremos la segunda quiebra del sistema de fuentes en la jurisprudencia. En este proceso, el Juez tendrá como patrón absoluto de control de las normas supranacionales la Constitución, que se erige en garante de los principios del ordenamiento jurídico. Plantearemos igualmente una teoría de las normas jurídicas como prescripciones ex ante, y de la jurisprudencia como un conjunto de reglas jurídicas que opera ex post. La construcción de esta visión de conjunto de lo normativo y lo reglado en el derecho global es el objetivo del presente trabajo.

El estatuto de las víctimas en España”; para dar respuesta a las cuestiones como:“ ¿Los derechos humanos están en la base de las respuestas a la trata de seres humanos? ¿ La trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual tiene una mayor implementación que otras modalidades de trata?, ¿de forma significativa en las mujeres y niñas? ¿ Se aplican medidas específicas de género para abordar la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual? ¿ La detección e identificación actual de las víctimas de trata de seres humanos garantiza la protección integral de las víctimas”?
Las relaciones contractuales entre los abogados y sus clientes: aportación para la resolución de la cuestión relativa a su calificación jurídica
Authors: Tobío Fernández Jonatan
Published: July 2021

Desde los años veinte de la pasada centuria, tanto el Tribunal Supremo como la doctrina mayoritaria, han venido sosteniendo que las relaciones jurídico-privadas que establecen los abo gados con sus clientes son encuadrables, por lo común, dentro del tipo contractual del arrendamiento de servicios, definido en el artículo 1544 del Código Civil y regulado en los artículos 1583 a 1587 del mismo cuerpo legal. Sin embargo, a nuestro juicio, existen razones de peso para entender que resulta más preciso ubicar estas relaciones, ordinariamente, dentro de la figura del mandato. Además, aunque la jurisprudencia ha venido sosteniendo la teoría de la locatio conductio operarum —no dejando de aplicar en ocasiones el mandato, o sus reglas, para ciertos supuestos específicos—, en recientes resoluciones el Tribunal Supremo viene manifestando que las relaciones que nos ocupan se desenvuelven, normalmente, en el marco de un contrato de gestión que la propia jurisprudencia construye, de modo no totalmente satisfactorio, con elementos tomados del arrendamiento de servicios y del mandato, por lo que la cuestión aún dista mucho de ser pacífica.
La elección de los grados de Maestro/a: análisis de tendencias e incidencia del género y la titulación

La elección de estudios universitarios es un proceso complejo en el que influyen diferentes variables. En este estudio se analizan los motivos de elección de carrera del alumnado de los Grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de la Universitat de València en la última década, así como las posibles diferencias en los motivos a lo largo del tiempo y en función del Grado y del sexo. Utilizando como instrumento de recogida de información, un cuestionario adaptado de otra investigación en el contexto español, se analizan las motivaciones de un total de 769 estudiantes de estas titulaciones, recogidas en tres tiempos (cursos: 2010-2011, 2014-2015 y 2018-2019). Los resultados permiten detectar que las motivaciones del alumnado de los grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria son de carácter fundamentalmente intrínseco, independientemente del momento, del sexo de los participantes y del grado elegido. Sin embargo, las motivaciones extrínsecas, que ocupan el segundo lugar en el caso de los hombres, descienden a lo largo del tiempo, mientras que las trascendentes, las segundas en el caso de las mujeres, aumentan según avanza la década. Estos resultados pueden ayudar a entender por qué en estos grados la demanda es alta y la tasa de abandono muy baja.

Choosing a university degree is a complex process influenced by different variables. This study reports on the reasons provided by students at the Universitat de València to enrol in the Infant and Primary Education degrees during the last decade. This study also identifies possible differences in the motives over time and depending on the degree and gender. Using as a tool for collecting data a questionnaire adapted from existing research in the Spanish context, the motivations of a total of 769 students of these degrees, collected in three stages, were analysed. The outcome allows us to detect that the motivations of the students to choose this kind of Degrees are fundamentally intrinsic, regardless of the moment, the gender of the participants and the degree. However, extrinsic motivations, which are the second most referred to in the case of men, decrease over time, while transcendent ones, the second most referred to type of motivation by women, increase as the decade progresses. These results can help to understand why the demand for these degrees is high and the dropout rate is very low.
Potencial didáctico de la filatelia para estudiar Genética Mendeliana
Authors: Navajas Pérez Rafael
Published: July 2021

Los sellos son el reflejo fidedigno de la historia y la cultura de la humanidad con un potencial didáctico aún por explorar. Aquí presento una experiencia docente que usa todos los sellos postales emitidos en honor a Gregor Mendel y los pertenecientes a series postales en las que este aparece (un total de 56 piezas de 13 países). Se elaboró un cuestionario con el que estudiantes de una asignatura de Genética básica de 2º curso del Grado en Biología trabajaron de forma autónoma la unidad temática de Análisis Genético Mendeliano. A continuación, se llevó a cabo una sesión de refuerzo para solventar las carencias detectadas tras la corrección de dicha actividad. Finalmente, se evaluó la experiencia usando una prueba tipo test de respuesta múltiple. Cuando las calificaciones obtenidas se compararon con las obtenidas por estudiantes de los cuatro cursos académicos anteriores que no habían utilizado este recurso, se obtuvo un incremento medio del 2,8% en las calificaciones (82,8% de respuestas correctas).
