Representações Sociais do Envelhecimento ao longo do Ciclo da Vida
Authors: Da Rosa Caroline Schardosim , Castro Amanda , Vidal Gabriela Pereira
Published: June 2023

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as representações sociais do envelhecimento ao longo do ciclo de vida, com base nas crenças sobre o que é envelhecer e na imagem da velhice. A pesquisa contou com a participação de quatro crianças, quatro adolescentes, quatro adultos e quatro idosos. Para alcançar os resultados foram apresentadas histórias para que, através da técnica de substituição, fosse trabalhado as crenças sobre o que é envelhecer. Em seguida foi pedido para que os participantes fizessem um desenho para caracterizar a imagem da velhice para cada um deles. Com a análise dos dados coletados foi possível identificar aspectos em comum em todas as faixas etárias, tendo ênfase no olhar negativo sobre o processo de envelhecimento, a velhice e o “ser velho”. A partir dos resultados foi possível identificar que a representação social de envelhecimento interfere diretamente na aceitação deste processo e no respeito a pessoa idosa enquanto cidadã. Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de políticas que incentivem o convívio intergeracional e a inclusão do idoso nos meios sociais para que assim possam também ter seus direitos preservados.

Authors: Bertoldo Lao Tse Maria , Serralta Fernanda Barcellos
Published: June 2023

A relação precoce entre cuidador e criança permite o estabelecimento de um vínculo de apego seguro ou inseguro. No contexto de apego seguro, uma boa função reflexiva e de mentalização permite ao cuidador compreender os próprios estados mentais e da criança, por conseguinte adotando condutas adequadas ao desenvolvimento do filho. O objetivo foi verificar diferenças de vínculo e função reflexiva das mães (n=30) de crianças com TDAH (n=30) em comparação com mães de crianças sem TDAH (n=30). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos. Mães do grupo clínico apresentaram menor função reflexiva em comparação com as mães do grupo não clínico, de controle. Mães de crianças com TDAH apresentam prejuízos na função reflexiva, evidenciados por maiores níveis de incerteza acerca dos estados mentais, quando comparadas com as mães de crianças não clínicas. Esses achados estão em consonância com estudos internacionais e são indicativos da utilidade do desenvolvimento de programas de ampliação da capacidade reflexiva/mentalização de mães e cuidadores primários de crianças com essa condição clínica.

Authors: Alhameed Saleh Ahmad , Saad Noor Hasma Mohammed , Noor Bader Ulmonir Mohammad
Published: June 2023

The study examines courtly love themes in the homeland and country of the Emirati poet Manaa Saeed al-Otaiba through his two Diwan, "To Where" and "Songs and Wishes." Additionally, it intends to explore the concepts of courtly love and its origins and how to employ poetic imagery and fitting music to achieve the intended results. The poet's feelings are described in the spinning topics based on the places and countries with which he has dabbled, and it is examined how the rhetorical devices and music accompanying those poems were in line with the poet's psychological state. One of the study's conclusions is that he chose separate poetry to express what he wanted to those countries in a fluid manner replete with terms of courtly love. Hence, the titles of those poems explain the content of their verses, and the poet's courtly love extended beyond his native country to countries in the East and West. As if he intended to inform people of the lyre in his heart in many places, the poet selected the new method to be overwhelming in his lyrical poetry. The researcher believes this work has contributions that make it a new building block in the relevant studies of Emirati literature in general and al-Otaiba poetry in particular. As an outstanding poet, he deserves extensive study and research from critics to understand his poetry's substance and multiple purposes.

The results of the study show 1) Face-to-face dialogue: there is no definite schedule regarding when meetings are held, and in handling face-to-face learning limited to COVID-19 for elementary schools in Bekasi Regency, there are obstacles so that communication cannot be carried out optimally. 2) Trust building: the actors involved have shown mutual acceptance toward the membership of the collaboration participants that have been determined previously, and the local government, those involved, already have tupoksi in accordance with their respective authorities and abilities. And openness or transparency in collaborative activities cannot be said to be good. 3) Commitment to the process: each service as a whole has contributed and has an awareness that solving this pandemic problem cannot be done by one group alone but must be done together. 4) Shared understanding: collaborating parties have been able to identify problems that are one of the inhibiting factors in collaborative activities. 5) Intermediated outcome: in the application of collaboration, the results have not been very satisfactory.

Authors: Dinya Solihati Keisha , Rizki Muhammad , Sari Nurmita
Published: June 2023

Financial Technology (Fintech) is a technological innovation developed in the financial sector so that financial transactions can be carried out practically, easily, and effectively. The progress of fintech in the field of money lending services has given rise to many applications/services based on peer-to-peer lending or online loans (pinjol). Based on the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion conducted by OJK in 2019, the financial literacy index reached 38.03%. However, 21 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia still have financial literacy levels below the average, with the lowest 3 provinces being: 1) East Nusa Tenggara (27.82%); 2) West Papua (28.87%); and 3) Papua (29.13%), besides that there is a very high inequality when compared to the province which has the highest level of financial literacy, namely Jakarta (59.16%). NTT is also included as one of Indonesia’s 3T regions (The Outermost, The Frontmost, and The Lagging). This study aims to examine efforts to increase financial literacy and its relation to online lending trends in East Nusa Tenggara. The study used qualitative methods with data collection sourced from interviews, observations, and literature studies. Based on the research results, OJK has made efforts to improve financial literacy as well as to eradicate illegal online loans, which have been carried out in a planned, measurable, achievement-oriented, sustainable, and collaborative manner, one of which is demonstrated or manifested in the implementation of the Regional Investment Alert Task Force (SWID). However, the implementation of improving financial literacy needs to be continued and improved, especially in terms of the number of activities, socialization of activities that have been implemented, and improving coordination with other stakeholders.

Los derechos de propiedad intelectual y la protección a la libre competencia. Una discusión sin superar: los patent thickets en el mercado farmacéutico
Authors: Quintero R. María Cristina
Published: June 2023

El ejercicio de derechos de propiedad intelectual, particularmente en industrias como la farmacéutica, ha suscitado una discusión sobre los efectos anticompetitivos que pueden derivarse de las prerrogativas otorgadas por las patentes. Esta discusión ha logrado reunir a quienes sugieren que las normas de propiedad intelectual y las de protección a la competencia son regímenes antinómicos, como a quienes estiman que se trata de un conflicto aparente. Aun cuando en la actualidad la postura preponderante es que se trata de un conflicto aparente y que, por el contrario, son regímenes que persiguen objetivos compatibles, las prácticas de patentamiento que se presentan en industrias como la farmacéutica mantienen vigente esta discusión. Una de estas prácticas presuntamente anticompetitiva a juicio de algunos son los patent thickets o marañas de patentes. El presente escrito pretende abordar las vicisitudes sobre su definición, su relación con otros conceptos, como el patentamiento estratégico, y los pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales al respecto, haciendo visibles las aristas que esta problemática plantea de cara a la compatibilidad o incompatibilidad de los regímenes de propiedad intelectual y protección a la libre competencia.
Modelo italiano de transposición de la directiva comunitaria sobre reestructuración preventiva de empresas
Authors: Garnacho Cabanillas Dr.ª Lourdes
Published: June 2023

Las crisis económicas en las que últimamente nos movemos hacen preciso un replanteamiento de nuestra normativa jurídica-concursal y la búsqueda de mecanismos que permitan una continuidad de empresas viables en el mercado, aunque en situación de crisis o insolvencia. La Directiva comunitaria (UE) 2019/1023 sobre marcos de reestructuración preventiva pretende una mayor uniformidad en la regulación de esta materia a nivel europeo, aun cuando su flexible regulación haya propiciado, por el momento, solo un acercamiento entre normativas de los Estados miembros. Algo que podemos comprobar, en concreto, a través del estudio del ordenamiento jurídico italiano y frente a nuestra norma jurídico-concursal interna; si bien, y a este respecto, prestemos especial atención a la posibilidad de llegar a imponer el contenido de un acuerdo/plan de reestructuración empresarial a créditos (o clases de créditos) disidentes.
Alcance jurídico y conceptual de la aplicación del principio pro-consumidor en Colombia
Authors: Londoño Londoño Adriana Isabel
Published: June 2023

Con el propósito de determinar el alcance del Principio Pro-Consumidor, se estudia el entorno histórico-jurídico de los postulados dogmáticos que procuran el restablecimiento del equilibrio en las relaciones jurídicas, considerándolo como uno de los principios generales del derecho. Asimismo, se indaga sobre la identificación en cuanto a la naturaleza y origen del axioma, partiendo del examen del principio de favorecimiento, que a su vez constituye el marco del Favor Debitoris, Favor Debilis, así como su relación con la regla de interpretación Contra Proferentem, exploración que resulta pertinente, en la medida en que la existencia de éstos se constituye como precedente del principio pro-consumidor. En consecuencia, la conceptualización del principio se aborda desde la hipótesis de que comparte la naturaleza y funciones que instituyen a los demás principios generales del derecho, teniendo presente el papel que se le asigna en las legislaciones de diversos países, concluyendo con la observación de sus manifestaciones en la legislación colombiana, así como de su aplicación por parte de los operadores jurídicos, quienes haciendo uso, generalmente, de la función interpretativa, toman decisiones a favor del consumidor cuando se presentan dudas o ambigüedades dentro de la relación de consumo.

Published: June 2023

Niniejsza praca stanowi przegląd dostępnych badań dotyczących elastografii ultrasonograficznej jako metody diagnostyki przewlekłego lub ostrego zapalenia trzustki. Dokonano przeglądu dwudziestu ośmiu artykułów opublikowanych w latach 2004–2022, zawierających słowa kluczowe związane z elastografią oraz ostrym i przewlekłym zapaleniem trzustki, z wykorzystaniem baz i wyszukiwarek takich jak PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar i Web of Science. Ostre i przewlekłe zapalenie trzustki powoduje zwiększenie sztywności miąższu trzustki, co można zmierzyć za pomocą elastografii odkształceniowej lub fali poprzecznej. Liczne badania przyniosły obiecujące wyniki i wydaje się, że możliwe jest zastosowanie elastografii jako rutynowej techniki w diagnostyce przewlekłego lub ostrego zapalenia trzustki. Niemniej jednak podczas wykonywania elastografii należy wziąć pod uwagę pewne ograniczenia, takie jak wiek czy masa ciała.

Empowerment is the main key to the motivation and productivity of an employee so that they can give maximum contribution to the company. Employee engagement and empowerment direct them to help each other both for themselves, between employees and for the company. The involvement and empowerment of employees are very effective in maintaining high levels of employee motivation. This study aims to determine the effect of psychological empowerment on employee creativity through intrinsic motivation. This study used a quantitative explanatory research approach. This study proposes several hypotheses with a total sample of 105 respondents. Data in this study were collected using a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire and analyzed using the PLS (Partial Least Square) analysis test. The results of this study indicate that psychological empowerment does not directly affect employee creativity. However, psychological empowerment significantly affects employee creativity through intrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation mediates the full/perfect mediation effect of psychological empowerment on employee creativity
Role of Intrapartum Social Support in Preventing Postpartum Depression
Authors: Fukuzawa Rieko Kishi , Park Chang Gi
Published: June 2023

A cross-sectional, multicenter study examined the role of intrapartum social support (SS) on postpartum depression (PPD), using survey data that covered eight of the 25 PPD risk factors identified by a recent umbrella review. A total of 204 women participated at an average of 1.26 months after birth. An existing U.S. Listening to Mothers-II/Postpartum survey questionnaire was translated, culturally adapted, and validated. Multiple linear regression found four statistically significant independent variables. A path analysis determined that prenatal depression, pregnancy and childbirth complications, intrapartum SS from healthcare providers and partners, and postpartum SS from husbands and others were significant predictors of PPD, while intrapartum and postpartum SS were intercorrelated. In conclusion, intrapartum companionship is as important as postpartum SS in preventing PPD.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine associations between pregnancy outcomes and childbirth education, identifying any outcomes moderated by pregnancy complications. This was a secondary analysis of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, Phase 8 data for four states. Logistic regression models compared outcomes with childbirth education for three subgroups: women with no pregnancy complications, women with gestational diabetes, and women with gestational hypertension. Women with pregnancy complications do not receive the same benefit from attending childbirth education as women with no pregnancy complications. Women with gestational diabetes who attended childbirth education were more likely to have a cesarean birth. The childbirth education curriculum may need to be altered to provide maximum benefits for women with pregnancy complications.

Authors: Feigin Rena , Magdassi Ami , Karta Dafni Lax , Karabelnik Emma
Published: June 2023

Background:Persons living with disabilities have difficulty finding work, are discriminated against, and have high rates of unemployment. They face many barriers, including stereotyped perceptions that prevent employers from hiring people with disabilities.

Objective:To promote equality in the employment market and to lower barriers, we at Gal College in cooperation with the School of Social Work at Tel-Aviv University developed an innovative multidimensional integrative program.

Methods:The program offers a beneficial learning experience that integrates professional studies with a personal rehabilitation process as the students themselves cope and live with their disability. The program graduates then become rehabilitators who serve as employment placement workers and rehabilitation facilitators for others coping with disability. All the students completed at least 12 years of school, were between the ages of 25 and 55, and were out of work for a long period of time.

Findings:The quantitative results reveal a high placement rate for program graduates. Over the years, this rate has increased from 79% to 100%, testifying to the program’s success.

Conclusions:Analyzes the dynamic learning model as well as the quantitative results and the successful transition from rehabilitee to rehabilitator.
Telerehabilitation as a Strategy Toward Flexible Learning in the Rehabilitation Sciences in a Developing Country Amid the Enduring COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Leochico Carl Froilan D. , Ramiro Renald Peter T. , Wang Sharah Charisse T. , Imson Dianne Criselda Y.
Published: June 2023

Background:At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person clinical exposure of Physical Therapy (PT) interns in various regions of the world, including the Philippines, was suspended for safety reasons. To resume internship training, telerehabilitation was adopted in several academic institutions, such as the Cebu Doctors’ University (CDU). However, our Rehabilitation Sciences faculty and students were unprepared for the sudden shift to virtual teaching-learning methods.

Objective:We hereby present our local experience in incorporating telerehabilitation in our clinical training and patient service.

Methods:We conducted the following steps toward redesigning our PT internship curriculum: (1) review of existing national guidelines on flexible learning; (2) analysis of capabilities and limitations of our students and teachers to engage in flexible learning; and (3) planning for means to capacitate them for shifting to flexible learning.

Findings:In our curricular redesign, we adapted the Flexible Learning Framework, consisting of the following components: students’ virtual experience, faculty and staff development, flexible learning instructional design, shared and aligned governance, institutional policy and infrastructure, and quality assurance.

Conclusion:Due to the lack of formal inclusion of telerehabilitation in the national PT internship curriculum pre-pandemic and the need to quickly update our clinical program during the pandemic, our experience in evaluating and building our capacities toward developing a telerehabilitation program can serve as an example for other rehabilitation disciplines and academic institutions amid and beyond the pandemic.

Purpose: To analyze the development of the transport complex of the Russian Federation under the pressure of sanctions in 2022 from unfriendly countries in many aspects of our life. Previously, we have already considered the impact of the US and Western European sanctions on the development of the transport complex of the Russian Federation [1]. Now we can draw some conclusions about the development of the situation and consider the following questions: what ways have been found to overcome a difficult situation; how has the economy of the transport industry changed in 2022 and the beginning of 2023; what prospects lie ahead of the industry in the future? Methods: Comparison of the characteristics of the state and development of various main types of transport industry in 2022 with the indicators of the previous period of 2020-2021. Results: It is shown that since the end of February 2022, after the start of the special military operation, the Russian Federation has been under strong pressure in the form of a number of sanctions, mainly from the United States and Western Europe. The sanctions have greatly affected the Russian transport complex: a shortage of spare parts for cars, the inability to import by rail and the closure of airspace. Currently , new details are emerging almost every day related to the introduction of additional sanctions, their consequences, as well as facts confirming the increasing resilience of the Russian transport industry to these sanctions. Practical significance: The necessity of further analysis of the facts confirming the stability of the Russian transport industry in the face of new challenges and global pressure on the Russian economy of unfrie ndly Western countries and the United States is shown.

Purpose: The study of water quality indicators of surface water bodies of the Priozersky district of the Leningrad region using laboratory studies, as well as the assessment of the ecological state of water sources based on various integral characteristics of surface water pollution. To determine the quality indicators of surface waters for cultural and household purposes in the laboratory. Assess the ecological state of a polluted reservoir based on the calculated integral indicators: the reservoir pollution index, the trophic state assessment index and the specific combinatorial index of surface water pollution. Consider possible options for improving the environmental situation of the studied water bodies. Methods: Water sampling from five water bodies of the Priozersky district of the Leningrad region for further laboratory studies. Analysis of selected samples from water sources to determine the composition of surface water for the presence of pollutants and water quality parameters using standardized methods. Comparison of the obtained results with the norms of maximum permissible concentrations for given indicators. Results: It has been established that in three of the five studied water bodies, excesses of the standard values for several indicators are found. One of the polluted water sources, the Vuoksa River, has been selected for further calculation of integral indicators of surface water quality. An assessment of the ecological state of this water body is given according to three calculated indicators. Measures have been proposed to improve the environmental situation of water bodies in the region. Practical significance: It is shown that the insufficiently studied water bodies of the Priozersky district of the Leningrad region generally meet the quality standards for surface waters, however, some objects still belong to the category of moderately polluted, which requires further in-depth study of their condition in order to prevent an increase in pollution.

Purpose: To present an integrated methodology that will model the entire environment, from the source of vibration to the re-radiated noise within buildings. Conduct a brief parametric analysis to show the potential of this approach in evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation measures for vibration and re-radiated noise. Methods: Estimate sound pressure levels generated in residential compartments as a result of train travel; analyze the coupled train-trail-ground-construction system; solve the acoustic part of the problem. Results: A numerical model based on the substructuring approach is considered. A measure to reduce the level of vibration and re-radiated noise inside the building has been studied, which consists in a continuous “floating slab-track” system, for which different values of the elastic mat stiffness under the slab have been considered. It has been found that the effectiveness of this measure comes from a positive combination of two essential factors: the frequency content of the response and the cutoff frequency assigned to each solution adopted. Practical significance: A comprehensive methodology for determining ground vibration and re-radiated noise caused by railway traffic is presented. The dependence is obtained, that the efficiency of reduction of vibration level and re-radiated noise inside the building, will be higher, if the solution with low cutoff frequency is applied and the response has the most significant frequency content at high frequencies.
O estatuto da cidade e seu potencial na implementação de infraestruturas verdes

Published: June 2023

O processo de urbanização intenso e pouco direcionado por planejamentos efetivos vem sendo questionado, dando espaço a propostas envolvendo novos paradigmas, como a utilização de infraestruturas verdes, especialmente em busca da promoção da resiliência urbana. O Brasil possui em seu arcabouço legal, o Estatuto da Cidade, construído antes destes novos discursos ganharem o atual destaque. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho busca discutir as possíveis relações entre instrumentos da política urbana, sob organização e diretrizes de aplicação instituídas junto ao plano diretor, para a promoção de cidades sustentáveis e resilientes, com foco no delineamento e implementação de projetos de infraestrutura verde. A pesquisa envolveu revisão bibliográfica e documental, esta última na perspectiva de análise de conteúdo das legislações relacionadas ao tema, visando identificar oportunidades de aplicação de instrumentos previstos em Políticas Ambientais e no Estatuto da Cidade em favor da promoção destes novos paradigmas. Apesar dos desafios envolvidos, a discussão corrobora para o fato de haver no Brasil e em seu arcabouço legal, instrumentos para promoção da resiliência urbana e construção de cidades sustentáveis, incluindo o delineamento de infraestruturas verdes. Entretanto, a atuação do poder público local e fortalecimento da governança se mostram fundamentais para o sucesso destas oportunidades.

El periurbano de Santa Fe se caracteriza por la riqueza y diversidad productiva, por su aporte a la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria territorial, por su riqueza pluricultural y por los servicios ecosistémicos que brinda y muestran el enorme potencial de crecimiento que puede experimentar esta experiencia de ser sostenida y enriquecida. Pero, también es un territorio productivo en riesgo por una serie de procesos recientes como son la presión de la expansión urbana sin las consideraciones ambientales adecuadas, el deterioro de recursos naturales esenciales, la crisis de algunos sistemas de producción tradicional, los conflictos de convivencia en la interfase rural-urbana, entre otros.

El presente proyecto se propone avanzar en un Plan consensuado del recientemente conformado y delimitado Parque Agrario Santa Fe Metropolitana que, además de definir los ejes estratégicos y lineamientos generales, se oriente en esta oportunidad a visibilizar la importante presencia de mujeres al frente de pequeñas organizaciones productoras de alimentos y considere los puntos de partida de la situación de mujeres y hombres, sus distintos intereses y necesidades y el impacto que determinadas acciones puedan generar en la situación desigual en que se encuentran orientados al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
