pensión de vejez por deficiencia en la legislación colombiana: restricciones de acceso desde su instrumento evaluador
Authors: Gómez R. Natalia E. , Duque Q. Sandra P. , González S. Patricia
Published: July 2024

En el sistema de pensiones, a través de la Ley 797 del 2003, se consagró la pensión especial de vejez con el propósito de proteger personas con 50% o más de deficiencia física, psíquica o sensorial, a partir de los 55 años de edad y que acrediten 1.000 semanas cotizadas en cualquier tiempo. Aunque la norma está vigente, su consagración no es muy difundida, y se asimila a una pensión de invalidez que, además de comprender la deficiencia, reúne la discapacidad y la minusvalía, es decir, que se equipara en la práctica a los conceptos de deficiencia e invalidez. Las barreras en la aplicación de la norma se focalizan desde el instrumento para evaluar estos criterios, denominado Manual único de calificación, el cual no está acorde con la actualización de los parámetros internacionales que sirvieron de base para su elaboración; es decir, los indicados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, lo que dificulta la evaluación de la deficiencia como criterio autónomo para una prestación económica de vejez. La controversia abarca tanto a médicos como abogados y afiliados al régimen, ya que hace necesario incentivar una reforma o proponer un nuevo instrumento de calificación en el Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Colombia.
Políticas públicas vigentes en Colombia que contribuyen al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio afines con el sector salud, 2006
Authors: Grisales Lina M. , Giraldo Libardo A.
Published: July 2024

Durante la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, celebrada en septiembre del 2000, 189 países (entre ellos Colombia) se comprometieron con ocho objetivos que conducen hacia un mundo más humano y equitativo. Estos son los denominados Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) y para alcanzarlos es indispensable incorporarlos en las agendas de acción de los países. El objetivo de esta monografía es reconocer las políticas públicas vigentes en Colombia y en el departamento de Antioquia, conducentes al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio, específicamente los relacionadas con la reducción de la mortalidad de los niños menores de 5 años, con el mejoramiento de la salud materna y con la lucha contra el vih/sida, el paludismo y el dengue. En Colombia, el documento Conpes 91 de 2005 es la única directriz dada por el Estado donde se establecen las metas y estrategias de Colombia para lograr los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio en 2015. Sin embargo, otras políticas, programas y proyectos formulados anteriormente —y posteriores incluso a la Declaración del Milenio (pero sin la intencionalidad explícita)— contribuyen igualmente al logro de estos objetivos. La revisión de estas políticas es un insumo para el desarrollo del proyecto de investigación “Grado de contribución de las políticas públicas al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio afines con el sector salud, Antioquia, 2006”, que busca evaluar el impacto que estas directrices han tenido en el logro de los objetivos de desarrollo del sector.
viaje que puede controlarse: consumo de drogas en niños en situación de calle.

Published: July 2024

Este trabajo fue realizado con niños en situación de calle de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia.Objetivo: comprender desde la mirada de los participantes el significado de la droga y del proceso de consumo. Metodología: estudio cualitativo etnográfico. Resultados: el proceso de consumo de drogas, al que denominan “viaje”, puede traer beneficios o problemas a los niños mismos, según que los niños tengan dominio o no sobre las drogas. Conclusiones: la curiosidad, la inducción, el ejemplo y los conflictos familiares inciden en el inicio del consumo. Según se tenga o no control sobre la droga, “el viaje” puede ser o no “bueno”. El control de la droga por parte de sus consumidores implica una coherencia entre lo que se tiene en la mente y las acciones que se realizan. Reflexiones: debe promoverse la investigación cualitativa en este campo para observar la experiencia de los niños desde su óptica y diseñar programas acordes con su realidad. Las instituciones deben hacer un acompañamiento real de los niños porque una de las razones para iniciar el consumo es la búsqueda de compañía; en estas circunstancias, mas que  suprimir el consumo de droga es más eficaz enseñar a controlarlo.
Justicia global, pobreza y mortalidad materna
Authors: Cáceres M. Flor de María
Published: July 2024

La justicia global se sitúa hoy día en un ambiente de tensión y debate, con una serie de postulados que intentan explicar las relaciones entre los países, teniendo como telón de fondo los acuerdos logrados por los organismos supranacionales. Este entramado de relaciones, no siempre justas ni equitativas, ha tenido como consecuencia el aumento de la acumulación de riquezas en pocas manos y de pobreza en un número cada vez mayor de habitantes de países pobres y regiones geográficas con limitaciones para el acceso, tanto a recursos como a los adelantos tecnológicos y científicos. La pobreza, la exclusión y las inequidades limitan cada vez más las posibilidades de progreso y bienestar de las comunidades, con consecuencias graves, como es el deterioro en los indicadores básicos de desarrollo. La mortalidad materna (MM) se considera un indicador centinela, pues corresponde, en la mayoría de los casos, a muertes prematuras, evitables con medidas básicas de educación, promoción de salud y acceso oportuno a servicios de salud. El objetivo de este ensayo es defender la tesis de que la falta de justicia global ha limitado el alcance de las metas relacionadas con la disminución de la pobreza y de la MM.
redes de conocimiento en salud pública y el fortalecimiento de capacidades a través de estrategias de cooperación
Authors: Martínez Eliana , Franco Diego F. , Villa Liliana
Published: July 2024

Este ensayo presenta la experiencia de una red temática en salud pública para Colombia que orienta sus desarrollos y aportes hacia el campo de la investigación en políticas y sistemas de salud. Se reconoce en el trabajo de esta red el surgimiento de relaciones de conocimiento a partir de las interacciones de actores sociales que comparten experiencias, datos, información, enfoques, estados del arte y metodologías de investigación e intervención, así como posibilidades de sistematización y medidas de política y generación de opinión pública, con el objeto de avanzar en procesos de transformación social. La reflexión en torno a la construcción de este tipo de capacidades en el ámbito endógeno lleva a la necesaria dimensión de los retos de una mayor interacción nacional y global. Se sustenta que las redes de conocimiento deben avanzar y madurar en el desarrollo de diferentes modalidades de cooperación que les permitan experimentar una mayor inserción internacional para mejorar la actuación e incidencia territorial. Se concluye interpretando cómo la internacionalización de las relaciones académicas y científicas es la base de una perspectiva para el trabajo de redes de conocimiento en un mundo globalizado.
Características de la Diabetes Mellitus en una red de servicios de primer de nivel de atención. Medellín, 2005-2008
Authors: Gómez C. Diego A. , Mahecha V. Maribel , Gómez A. Rubén D. , Agudelo L. Sandra M.
Published: July 2024

Por su gravedad, frecuencia creciente e impacto económico y social, la Diabetes Mellitus (DM) se considera el tercer problema de salud prioritario en el mundo. Aunque a la fecha no se cuenta con tratamientos curativos, sí se dispone de medidas efectivas para reducir su aparición y limitar sus complicaciones. Objetivo: describir el programa de control de la diabetes adelantado por una red estatal de servicios de primer nivel, en lo que se refiere a las variables clínico-epidemiológicas de la población atendida y a las acciones de control registradas, con el fin de identificar aéreas críticas y estrategias de mejoramiento. Metodología: investigación operativa basada en fuentes secundarias disponibles. Se revisaron las condiciones generales de operación del programa con base en los registros de atención a los usuarios. Se estudió una muestra aleatoria de las historias clínicas de los usuarios facturados por el programa de control de DM en las unidades de atención de la red. Los resultados se validaron con funcionarios de la Institución. Resultados: la revisión de las historias clínicas evidencia importantes problemas en el registro, seguimiento y control a los diabéticos. Especial importancia revisten las disposiciones normativas y contractuales que impiden al programa controlar la hiperglucemia y detectar precozmente el daño renal. Conclusiones: se detectaron fallas y puntos de mejoramiento en el desempeño del programa de control que dieron lugar a recomendaciones específicas para la red institucional. Otras fallas obedecen a normas del Sistema de Salud de Colombia que dificultan el seguimiento y control de la DM en un primer nivel. Estas limitaciones pudieran estar afectando los programas del control de la diabetes en otras instituciones del País sujetas a la misma normativa.

Authors: Muñoz Ana M , Paz John J , Quiroz Carlos M
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: evaluar las diferencias en las condiciones de salud entre grupos de trabajadores expuestos, no expuestos y menos expuestos a contaminación ambiental en el área metropolitana del valle de Aburrá. Métodos: se realizó una cuidadosa revisión de las mediciones de contaminantes ambientales, precipitación, temperatura y variables demográficas y sociales de los municipios del área metropolitana del Valle del Aburrá y del oriente del departamento de Antioquia (Colombia). Se realizó un estudio transversal de corte. Se seleccionó aleatoriamente una población de 3.500 habitantes. A los individuos seleccionados se les aplicó una encuesta previamente estandarizada y se les estudiaron las pruebas funcionales respiratorias mediante espirometría.Resultados: se realizaron 400 espirometrías. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos en cuanto a edad, sexo, consumo de cigarrillo y estrato socioeconómico. Las partículas suspendidas totales (PST) están frecuentemente por encima de 100 μg/m3. Igual sucede con material particulado inferior a 10 micras (PM10). Los no expuestos tienen una mejor relación volumen expiratorio forzado en el primer segundo sobre capacidad vital forzada (VEF1/CVF), en 3,1%. Se evidenció un exceso de riesgo de sufrir afecciones obstructivas pulmonares entre los expuestos frente a los no expuestos de 68% RR 1,68 IC (1,19–2,36). Conclusiones: la calidad del aire del área metropolitana del Valle del Aburrá no es buena. Hay un exceso de riesgo en los expuestos a contaminación de sufrir afecciones obstructivas pulmonares.
Factores biosociales y percepciones de una vida con calidad: reto para la adherencia antirretroviral en pacientes con VIH
Authors: Estrada John Harold , Martínez Adriana Gisela , Abadía César Ernesto
Published: July 2024

Aunque la terapia antirretroviral ha contribuido a mejorar la calidad de vida de personas que viven con vih, la no adhe­rencia al tratamiento persiste como obstáculo fundamental para el éxito terapéutico. Para evaluar los aspectos biosocia­les que facilitan o dificultan la adherencia al tratamiento, se desarrolló un estudio cualitativo que combinó investigación etnográfica, enfoque hermenéutico de narrativas y análisis situacional de las experiencias de vida de personas con VIH en Colombia. Se aplicaron dos categorías teóricas: vida con calidad, de Victoria Camps, y autopercepción y heteroper­cepción, de Saussure. Los diez participantes en el estudio eran de sexo masculino y frecuentaban un programa integral de salud oral. Entre los aspectos que dificultan la adheren­cia, se encontraron los siguientes: 1) los discursos de los equipos médicos, sobrecargados de terminología biomédica; 2) la dosis y los efectos colaterales de los medicamentos uti­lizados en Colombia; 3) las actitudes negativas relacionadas con autoimagen pobre, capital social bajo y baja autoestima; 4) expectativas bajas de calidad de vida con la terapia. Entre los factores que facilitan la adherencia se encontraron: 1) pro­cesos de negociación intrapersonal e interpersonal basados en el estado serológico y el tratamiento; 2) el conocimiento de dichas negociaciones por parte de la familia, amigos, compa­ñeros de trabajo y la pareja afectiva; 3) percepciones positivas sobre el mejoramiento en la calidad de vida relacionadas con la terapia; 4) expectativas de calidad de vida que dependen de la adherencia. Se encontró, sin embargo, que los factores que facilitan o dificultan la adherencia cambian rápidamente y van de la mano con alteraciones del estado de ánimo de las personas; por estado de ánimo se entiende aquí un sentimien-to complejo generado alrededor de una vida con calidad, que cambia constantemente y mezcla los aspectos individuales y sociales de la experiencia de vivir con v i h. Se propone que el estado de ánimo de las personas es un aspecto fundamental de la adherencia, y que por ser cambiante representa retos para la evaluación y las propuestas que buscan mejorarla

uso de medicina alternativa y medicina tradicional en Medellín, 2005
Authors: Alvarez C Luz S.
Published: July 2024

Objetivos: establecer los recursos de salud que los habitantes de Medellín buscan cuando se sienten enfermos y las razones que los llevan a tomar esas decisiones, indagando, además sobre el uso de medicina tradicional y medicina alternativa. Métodos: investigación cualitativa sustentada en la teoría fundada y en métodos rápidos de recolección de información. Se realizaron 46 entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas de diferentes estratos sociales de la ciudad de Medellín, entre los meses de julio a septiembre del 2005. Resultados: se encontró que las prácticas propias de la medicina tradicional son un recurso buscado por muchas personas, especialmente las de menores recursos financieros. Estas prácticas han asumido nuevos nombres para adaptarse a las tendencias en medicina pero, en lo fundamental, conservan las características propias de la medicina tradicional colombiana. La medicina alternativa es buscada por personas de estratos superiores y su uso está vinculado a la búsqueda de tratamientos integrales para las enfermedades y a la insatisfacción que algunas personas sienten frente a ciertas características de la medicina occidental y del sistema de salud colombiano.
The Effect of Sample Weighting on Hierarchical Linear Modeling in the Large-Scale Assessment Data
Authors: Güngör Metehan , Bekmezci Sinan , Doğan Nuri
Published: July 2024

This study examines how the different uses of sampling weights in the analysis of TIMSS 2019 data affect the ratio of variance in student achievement explained by schools and the estimation of standard errors. The research sample comprises 227,345 8th grade students from 7,636 schools in 39 countries. Mathematics achievement and science achievement are considered separately as dependent variables in all 39 countries. All plausible values are included in the analysis. Four weighting scenarios are examined: no weighting, weighting at only level 1, weighting at only level 2, and weighting at both levels. In total, 312 models are established and examined. According to the research results, the coefficients, standard errors, reliabilities, and χ^2 estimations change depending on how the weighting variable is handled in the models, and as a result, the ratio of variance in the dependent variable arising from the differences between schools also changes. The ratio attributable to between-school differences can reach up to 20% in some countries. Therefore, researchers modeling hierarchical data using HLM are suggested to plan how they handle the weighting variable prior to conducting the study.

A CHALLENGING TASK FOR JOURNALISM HISTORIANS: THE CULTURAL TURN AND THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE OTTOMAN/TURKISH PRESS
Authors: Çömelekoğlu Ozan
Published: July 2024

This article critically evaluates the historiography of the Ottoman/Turkish press and seeks to shed light on the debates in journalism history triggered by James Carey's call for a “cultural history of journalism.” It argues that participating in these debates is crucial at a time when the history of journalism is on the cusp of a ‘digital turn’. For the first time since the early 20th century, the development of digital archives and the technologies that support them has significantly increased global interest in the history of journalism. The widespread use of digital archives will gradually transform the narrative of scarcity into one of abundance. Nonetheless, transforming this interest into a productive process of historical knowledge production requires researchers to rethink their epistemic relationship with the Ottoman press. This article argues that the ‘digital turn’ offers a crucial opportunity to add new pieces to the history of Ottoman journalism. However, for these pieces to coalesce, journalism historians must take the previously neglected path of the ‘cultural turn’.
MEDYA ÇALIŞMALARINDA ELEŞTİREL EKONOMİ POLİTİK YAKLAŞIM: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ (2013-2023)
Authors: Ayan Vahdet Mesut
Published: July 2024

Eleştirel ekonomi politik yaklaşım, medya çalışmalarında dünyada 1970’li yıllardan, Türkiye’de ise 2000’li yıllardan itibaren yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu çalışma, medyanın eleştirel ekonomi politiği yaklaşımıyla 2013-2023 yılları arasında DergiPark’ta yayımlanan araştırma makalelerini inceliyor. Makalelerin genel yaklaşımlarını, teorik ve yöntemsel özelliklerini açıklamak ve buradaki eksikliklere öneriler getirmek çalışmanın esas amacıdır. Bu amaç çerçevesinde DergiPark’ta yayımlanan makaleler, “ekonomi politik”, “eleştirel ekonomi politik”, “medya sermayesi”, “medyanın dönüşümü”, “medya ekonomisi” ve “birleşmeler” anahtar kelimeleri kullanarak taranmıştır. Bunun sonucunda 11 yıllık süre zarfında toplamda 62 araştırma makalesi bulunmuştur. Bulgular, son yıllarda eleştirel ekonomi politik yaklaşımla yayımlanan makalelerin sayısında bir artış olduğunu göstermektedir. İncelenen makaleler daha çok nitel araştırma yöntemlerini kullanmıştır. Geleneksel medyayı konu edinen araştırmalar hâlâ ağırlıktadır, onu yeni medyayı odak noktasına alan makaleler izlemektedir. Ayrıca araştırma sonunda eleştirel ekonomi politik yaklaşımını benimseyen dünya genelindeki çalışmalarla kıyaslandığında, Türkiye’deki çalışmaların teorik ve yöntemsel zayıflık gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
Decoding Vitruvius — Modulation of a Sequenced Nominal Value of a Fixed Module by Ad Triangulum Geometry
Authors: Čikara Duško
Published: July 2024

The sequencing of circles congruent with a (divided) column diameter – a visualization ofthe Vitruvian concept of a fixed module – is expanded by the inclusion, in the same scale, of geometric figures intrinsic to the ad triangulum method. The indication of continuous use of the proposed proportional system from Classical Antiquity to the 18th century points to the existence of a single canon for designing intercolumnar plane and fenestration.
Slika Bogorodica s Djetetom i sv. Antun Padovanski iz radionice Denisa Calvaerta zvanoga Dionisio Fiammingo u zbirci biskupa Kokše
Authors: Cvetnić Sanja
Published: July 2024

Sliku Bogorodica s Djetetom i sv. Antun Padovanski biskup Đuro Kokša vjerojatno je nabavio između 1983. i 1989. (kada je prvi puta izložena u okviru zbirke), kao djelo Denisa Calvaerta. Slika ne doseže Calvaertovu vrsnoću, ali se može povezati s Calvaertovom radionicom zbog sličnosti u kompozicijskom rješenju, razumijevanju prostora i tipologiji likova. Među Calvaertovim učenicima slikar Vincenzo Spisanelli ostao je posebno blizak učitelju.

Russian Pravda as a primary source of administrative law and process in ancient Russia
Authors: Gridin S. I.
Published: July 2024

Russian Truth is the oldest monument of the law of feudal Rus’. It reflects the growth of princely power and the expansion of the princely court. This study is devoted to identifying the features of law and legal proceedings in this era. Like the ancient Laws of the XII tables in Ancient Rome and the Babylonian laws of King Hamurabi (Hamurabi), to which our study was devoted. Russian Truth is also a judge. In it we meet the rules of law, which we now call administrative law and process. Separate historical epochs are mixed up in Russkaya Pravda, there is no systematization of norms. A separate part of the truth is called “The Court of Yaroslav Vladimirovich.” Russkaya Pravda does not give us a complete account of the organization of the princely court. Separate princely decisions became the norm for subsequent court decisions. So, the prince sets penalties for killing people depending on their position. Pravda Yaroslavichi forbids blood feuds and introduces a fine instead. Litigation under Russkaya Pravda is adversarial, which establishes pre-trial procedures. The relationship between the plaintiffs and the defendants is clarified. This order is called “arching” and “persecution of the trace.” Competitiveness arises from those forms of struggle that existed even in a tribal society, when relations were sorted out by force. The study showed that the law according to Russian Pravda has gone ahead of the primitive customs of more ancient times and represents a developed system, where there was a court, a process, a system of evidence and punishments.
Discretion in Making Administrative Decisions on the Establishment and Clarification of Mandatory Requirements
Authors: Polezhaev D. A.
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the discretion in making administrative decisions on the issues of establishing and clarifying mandatory requirements of regulatory legal acts. The author analyzes the normative legal regulation, in the Russian Federation», and considers specific examples of legally established powers of administrative authorities. In the course of the study the author comes to the conclusion that the root cause of discretion in making managerial decisions is the law, its imperfection or on the contrary a conscious measure of the legislator, giving discretionary powers to officials. The author proposes possible solutions to the cases of imperfections of legislative acts identified by him, in particular, by amending such legislative acts. In conclusion, the author notes that imperfection (lack of systematic regulation, gaps, etc.) of legislative acts, vesting administrative bodies with relevant powers, affects the degree of discretion in establishing and explaining mandatory requirements by administrative bodies. In some cases, such a degree of discretion is excessive, leading to unfavorable practical consequences, which, in turn, calls into question the achievement of generally recognized (public) goals of the institution of mandatory requirements.
Changes in cerebral hemodynamics after week 32 of gestation in fetuses with late-onset fetal growth restriction
Authors: Yusenko Sofia R. , Nagorneva Stanislava V. , Kogan Igor Yu.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Late-onset fetal growth restriction is characterized by changes in fetal cerebral hemodynamic patterns. Blood flow parameters in the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries have been studied previously, and there was shown a relationship between changes in certain cerebral artery vascular resistance parameters and increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes such as fetal hypoxia in labor, cesarean section, and stillbirth.
AIM: The aim of this study was to search for cerebral hemodynamic patterns in fetuses with late-onset fetal growth restriction after week 32 of gestation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study included 110 pregnant women at week 32 or more of gestation who underwent fetal ultrasound (fetometry and Doppler with additional measurement of vascular resistance parameters in the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries). Ultrasound findings were assessed for the presence of late-onset fetal growth restriction. The systole-diastolic ratio, resistance index, and pulsatility index were evaluated in appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses and in fetuses with late-onset fetal growth restriction.
RESULTS: A total of 128 middle, 86 anterior, and 87 posterior cerebral arteries measurements were included in the calculations. From weeks 32–33 to preterm gestation in appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses, a decrease in the middle cerebral artery parameters was observed, while in the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries, the vascular resistance parameters remained at the same level or slightly increased. A nonlinear trend of blood flow changes in the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries was observed in fetuses with fetal growth restriction — the values increased by weeks 34–36 of gestation and decreased in preterm gestation. At the same time, differences (р 0.05) were found between the median values of the systolic-diastolic ratio, resistance index and pulsatility index in the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries at weeks 34–36 and those at preterm gestation.
CONCLUSIONS: Changes in fetal cerebral hemodynamics in fetal growth restriction, in particular, a shift in the peak values of vascular resistance parameters to later gestational periods may be associated with changes in the development of integrative functions of the central nervous system and neurovascular development of the fetal brain (cortex), which occurs predominantly in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Quality of life of patients with asthma: the effects of overweight, obesity and multimorbidity
Authors: Tribuntceva Lyudmila V. , Budnevsky Andrey V. , Prozorova Galina G. , Olysheva Irina A. , Khokhlov Roman A.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Despite significant progress in the search for treatable additional features affecting multicomponent control of bronchial asthma, there is currently a paucity of research studies with a comprehensive assessment of the impact of obesity and multimorbidity on quality of life in patients with bronchial asthma.
AIM: To assess the effect of personalizing features (obesity and multimorbidity) on the quality of life of patients with different levels of asthma control.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with asthma (n = 237) were divided into 3 groups depending on BMI. Multimorbid pathology was analyzed by Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS), asthma control — Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5), quality of life — Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire with Standardized Activities [AQLQ(S)], anxiety and depression — Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Statistical analysis: Microsoft Excel, Statistica 12.0, Statgraphics XVIII.
RESULTS: Patients with obesity and asthma had more comorbidities (p 0.05). Quality of life in patients with high and normal body weight depended on the level of control and the number of diseases (p 0.05), with getting worse disease control these differences became insignificant. In the group with obesity, activity limitation (p = 0.0150) and overall quality of life (p 0.005) increased significantly with increasing number of diseases. Anxiety levels increased with increasing number of illnesses (p 0.0001). Quality of life of patients according to AQLQ(S) has inverse correlation with BMI (r = −0.5135), age (r = −0.2034) with CIRS scores (r = −0.4905) with anxiety (r = −0.5078) and depression (r = −0.4820) level.
CONCLUSIONS: Body weight, level of asthma control, depression and anxiety, and the number of comorbid multimorbid conditions affect the quality of life of patients with asthma. Obesity makes a significant negative contribution to worsening asthma control and patients’ quality of life, in this group patients have the highest level of multimorbidity and they have a prevalence of anxiety. To improve asthma control, patients need a complex examination including assessment of quality of life, depression and anxiety, and comorbidities in order to develop personalization of therapeutic approaches to patient management.
HOW DOES THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL AFFECT STUDENTS' MOTIVATION, PERFORMANCE AND ATTITUDE?
Authors: Yacı Şirin Nur , Baran Bahar , Siyez Diğdem Müge
Published: July 2024

The flipped classroom model, a type of blended learning, has become a promising model for building flexible and effective learning environments in higher education. Much of the experimental research on blended learning defines a treatment as an independent variable and compares it with a control group to explore a significant difference. However, this research used two treatment groups consisting of a multimedia-enhanced flipped classroom model and a technology supported face-to-face (f2f) classroom model instead of using only a control group. This study aims to investigate the effects of two models on students’ instructional material motivation, performance, and attitude toward the subject. We employed a repeated measures design with two models and qualitative methods. A total of 26 university students in two groups participated in the study for four weeks. The results indicated that the instructional material motivation score for the multimedia-enhanced flipped classroom model group was significantly higher than the other group. Moreover, the descriptive results showed an increase in learning performance and attitude score for the multimedia-enhanced flipped classroom group but did not reveal a significant difference in favor of it. The results indicated that the multimedia-enhanced flipped classroom model significantly improved the instructional material motivation of higher education students. Various teaching strategies and interactive animations in this model could help students learn more effectively. In sum, this study provides guidance to help researchers who are designing teaching activities and interactive resources for flipped classroom model.

Theoretical background: Sustainable marketing is an increasingly popular topic in the field of scientific work. In the literature, a clear popularity of given approaches and perspectives can be seen, but only meta-analysis is able to define clear trends occurring in the literature. Purpose of the article: This paper aimed to analyze the state-of-the-art research on sustainable marketing through a bibliometric study using the Biblioshiny tool. Based on the articles published from 2019 to 2023 the results from the perspective of growing trends in the field were achieved. Research methods: The analysis was initiated by the appropriate selection of keywords and subsequent narrowing of the database of scientific articles in accordance with the adopted criteria. The results in graphic form have been discussed and interpreted in detail. The comparison of this article's output with the literature review allowed for the confrontation of the obtained research with the conclusions of the foregoing studies. Main findings: In the results, existing trends, such as a consumer-oriented approach, can be found. The multicultural approach seems to be an aspect not visible in the manual literature overview. The analysis also shows a clear increase and potential of publications on sustainable marketing and a multipronged perspective of the topic in the context of different aspects of business.

Theoretical background: The area of interest undertaken in this publication is the impact of location factors on the high turnover of luxury goods sales. The selection of these factors was based on the results of previous studies available in the literature. However, they mainly concern the location of points of sale of each type of goods. Therefore, it was necessary to get acquainted with the specifics of trading in luxury goods and choose those among the factors that are associated with it. Purpose of the article: The analysis covered not only the impact of the factors themselves, but also the links between them and the differentiation of the impact depending on the size of the agglomeration in which the places of sale are located. Research methods: For this purpose, an in-depth statistical analysis and the grey set theory were used. The use of the theory of grey set is important in the case of the research carried out due to the ambiguity of the occurrence of all factors in relation to the sample analyzed. Some of them do not apply to the entire study population. Main findings: The obtained results show the overall importance of location factors for achieving the expected level of turnover, as well as value them within the adopted categories.

Published: July 2024

Theoretical background: Economic processes, the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving technology and aspects of demographic change including, above all, an “ageing population” remaining on the labor market have brought about dynamic changes in many canons, beliefs and areas of activity for businesses and economic organizations. In line with the idea of humanocentrism and nurturing human capital (its knowledge and experience), companies are looking for new organizational and technological solutions, whose main objective is to ensure safety and quality of work. One of the techniques/sciences that integrate the achievements of many sciences humanizing the working and living environment so that it is friendly to the psychophysical and social needs of the user is ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science that deals with the adaptation of technology (machines and tools) and working conditions to the specific needs of the user, and through its multidisciplinary and multifaceted nature has many meanings, roles and characteristics. Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to answer questions related to the ergonomic activities of Polish enterprises and its application in practice. What does ergonomics give them? What is the source of inspiration in carrying out ergonomic activities? What is the purpose of conducting ergonomic activities? What is the essence and role of ergonomics in their business operations? Research methods: In this article, based on literature research conducted by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat), Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) and Statistics Poland (GUS), two authoritative questionnaires were created (under expert supervision) to investigate ergonomic activity in the Polish business arena. The first questionnaire was sent to 15,000 enterprises and searched for ergonomic activity in the business arena. The second questionnaire was sent to a narrower group of ergonomically active enterprises, which provided answers to 100 open and closed questions. The survey was conducted between 2020 and 2022. Main findings: All three research assumptions were successfully achieved. Businesses were found, investigated and conclusions reached. Selected results from the questionnaire survey are presented in tabular form. The surveyed respondents, representatives of various business sectors of micro, small, medium and large enterprises, unequivocally stated that, in their opinion, ergonomics helps to modernise machinery and technology. In addition, ergonomic activity brings them closer to complying with current standards and legislation, thus, having a positive impact on quality, health and safety aspects. Ergonomic activity also gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to increase productivity, efficiency and work performance. Seeking ergonomic inspiration also contributes to increasing the potential of the knowledge economy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality of an English final test of SMKN 1 Nguling seen from its content validity, reliability, item difficulty, discriminating power, and effectiveness of distractor. The design of this study was qualitative research which focuses on content analysis and descriptive quantitative. The result shows that the test was considered sufficient. In particular, the researchers found out that the content validity of the test is very high, and the reliability of the test is moderate (r. 0.427). However, the test had poor item difficulty as half of the test items test was in the difficult category.  The test also has poor discriminating power.  Finally, in terms of the effectiveness of distractors, the result shows that 24 items need some revisions. The researchers concluded that even though the test is high in content validity and moderate in its reliability, the test still needs some improvements, especially in discriminating power and item distracter.
THE OMNISCIENT NARRATOR IN HAWTHORNE’S SIGHTS FROM A STEEPLE
Authors: Widodo Herditya Wahyu
Published: July 2024

The study of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s authorial style has been an intriguing one, and many studies have tried to examine his style that more or less set the path of American Literature. In this study, I intend to further such studies and explain how Hawthorne’s omniscient observations as the narrator in his earlier short story, Sights from A Steeple, can actually be related, and is applied, to his other, later short stories and works. In the process of doing so, I intend to explain the defining style that Hawthorne follows in most of his short stories. The narrator in Sights from A Steeple, seen acting as the author himself, has an unusually superior power of observation, using to give judgments and insights into the characters and events. These characters, events, and insights are then developed into similar but more detailed characters and significant events in Hawthorne’s short stories: Wakefield, My Kinsman, Major Molyneux, Rappacini’s Daughter and  Artist of the Beautiful. In this way, Sights from A Steeple acts like snapshots of Hawthorne’s other short stories.

Teaching English writing skill to Indonesian secondary students encounters many obstacles since English in Indonesia is a foreign language. Elaborating and organizing the ideas in pre-writing activity is one of the problems faced by students. The objective of this study was to examine how the implementation of semantic mapping strategy could enhance the eleventh graders’ writing skill, especially the organization aspect. Semantic mapping strategy was implemented in pre-writing activity since this strategy provides the visual concept of relations of the ideas. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was used as the research design in this study, and the implementation was carried out in three meetings for one cycle through the WhatsApp group. The research subjects were students of XI Science 4 class at SMA Negeri 4 Malang which consisted of 34 students. The results showed that this strategy succeeded in enhancing students’ writing scores in one cycle. The average score before the implementation was 69.9, and it became 86.8 after the implementation. Besides, the students’ organization aspect also increased significantly. In brief, this study offers a teaching strategy to overcome the problems in writing class by implementing semantic mapping strategy.

Authors: Thai Tram Thi Ngoc , Nguyen Ngoc Le Bao
Published: July 2024

Studies of the correlation between language and emotion have demonstrated the existence of a causal relationship between switching languages and feeling different in bi-/ multilinguals. Adopting the mixed-method approach, the current research aims to extend this line of enquiry to Vietnam – a monolingual country – by investigating 160 Vietnamese-English speaking students at International University (IU) (VNU-HCMC). They were required to complete a questionnaire based on the Bilingualism and Emotion Questionnaire (Dewaele & Pavlenko, 2001–2003). It includes closed questions concerning shifts on five scales of feelings and an open explanatory question on the difference perceived. The scales, chosen with reference to the research of Dewaele and Nakano (2012), consist of feeling logical, serious, emotional, fake, and different. Statistical analyses revealed a regular shift on most scales, with most participants feeling more logical, more serious, more fake, more different, and less emotional when using the L2. Simple linear regression revealed that the variation in certain feelings scales was mostly predicted by self-perceived proficiency in the L2

Artificial Intelligence: the dichotomy of technology development
Authors: Shcherbakov G. A.
Published: July 2024

Purpose: identification of opportunities and potential risks in the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies on the basis of the dominant trends analyzing in the current high-tech sector development of the global economy.Methods: the paper uses the system approach, the method of classification and systematization, the method of estimations and scientific abstractions, the methods of information analysis and synthesis, the method of data visualization.Results: the article considers economic and technical-technological aspects of building intelligent systems, establishes trends of their development in the direction of multitasking and autonomy of performed functions, identifies opportunities and threats arising from the development of this direction of scientific and technological progress. The study reveals the dual nature of further improvement of artificial intelligence systems, which offers broad prospects of application in various spheres of human activity, but can simultaneously generate risks due to the uncontrolled introduction of these technologies into the public space.Conclusions and Relevance:the development of intellectual technologies in the current period has a steady tendency towards increasing complexity of the tasks to be solved and increasing autonomy of artificial intelligence, provided by increasing its computational capabilities, which in a number of parameters (image classification, text content) exceed the capabilities of the human mind. At the same time, there is an aspiration of developers to gradually transfer to machines the key competences in the field of decision-making, which until now have remained in the exclusive competence of humans. This trend opens up broad prospects for the application of "smart" machines in public life, but at the same time generates a set of real and hypothetical risks, the dominant of which is the loss of human subjectivity in relation to the surrounding processes. The emerging dichotomy of technological development requires a serious rethinking of the existing approach to the creation and implementation of artificial intelligence systems in order to minimize the emergence of ethical risks and threats to human life.
