Authors: Silva Tibério Alves da , Lira Ana Carolina Soares de , Aragão Bárbara Letícia Barreto Ramos , Viana Luciana Karla, Dayanna Grazielle Maia
Published: December 2021

Introduction: TIAs are ischemia, caused by stenosis of the carotid and vertebral arteries. Those who have a TIA are at risk of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, with carotid endarterectomy being an intervention. Objective: To analyze the benefits of carotid endarterectomy using drugs. Methods: Literature review, in bases such as PUBMED, MEDLINE, descriptors: “Endarterectomy”, “Ischemic Attack”, with operator “AND” and “OR”. Those with two descriptors were selected in the summary and date between 2010-2020, English / Portuguese language, resulting in: 17 articles. Results: The internal carotid artery (ICA) is located in the neck as a branch of the common carotid artery, being one of its branches the middle cerebral artery (MCA), the main artery affected in strokes and TIAs. Thus, ACI ischemia causes a risk of thrombosis in MCA, the treatment of carotid stenosis requires drugs to prevent atheroma, as well as antiplatelet drugs to reduce embolic events¹. In some cases, carotid endarterectomy or carotid stent implantation is complementary. Therefore, patients with TIA or stroke, who have “transient, fluctuating or persistent unilateral motor weakness or speech disorder or eye symptoms”, should undergo endarterectomy if they have moderate-severe stenosis of the extracranial internal carotid artery in the first days of presentation². Thus, endarterectomy is the treatment of choice and stenting should only be offered to symptomatic patients. Conclusion: Therefore, endarterectomy has been shown to be safe for patients with internal carotid artery stenosis, indicating the prevalence in relation to the stent.
The relationship between tension headache and screen exposure in children and adolescents
Authors: Erthal Jullyane Lutterbach , Rêgo Caroline Matos de Souza Franco
Published: December 2021

Background: Primary headaches are idiopathic or genetic conditions without a known secondary cause. Primary tension-type headache is characterized by bilateral, non-throbbing pain, of mild to moderate intensity. Nowadays, with greater exposure to electronics, a relationship was observed between screen time and increased tension headache among children and adolescents. Objective: Elucidate the association between tension-type headache and increased screen exposure among children and adolescents. Methods: A literature review was carried out after analyzing scientific articles from 2014 to 2020, on Scielo, UPTODATE and Pubmed, in Portuguese and English. Results: With technological development and behavioural changes, the use of electronics has grown among children and adolescents. However, its overuse causes consequences such as a sedentary lifestyle, stress, reduced socialization and complaints of headache. In children, the most prevalent primary headaches are tension-type and migraine. The tension-type headache is characterized by bilateral location, in pressure, with photophobia or phonophobia, without nausea or vomiting. The hypothesis that best explains the association between tension headache and screen exposure is that consecutive periods of electronic activities cause sustained muscle tension and pain. Furthermore, there is an influence of genetic factors, diet and psychological stress. Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of an approach to avoid triggers for headache in children, such as controlling screen time and maintaining healthy habits. Conclusions: The correlation between excessive screen time and headache is substantial and admits an educational performance by health professionals to avoid harmful consequences to growth.

Published: December 2021

Context: Neurological manifestations of Sars-CoV-2 are progressively emerging. Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and its variants, with onset about 5-10 days after influenza symptoms, have been described. This paper reports a case of polyneuropathy with onset 90 days after a sore throat episode and persistence of IgM positivity in serology for Sars- Cov-2. We aim to raise awareness of this possibility. Case Report: A 56-year-old male, hypertensive, presented with sore throat on April 21, 2020. Serology for Covid-19 was performed with positive IgM. There was complete improvement of the symptom. At the end of July, he started a symmetrical paresthesia in the feet with ascension to the knees and, on August 20, paresthesia in the hands too. So, he went to IAMSPE (SP) and tactile and painful hypoesthesia in hands and feet, hypopalesthesia in lower limbs, a fall in the lower limbs upon Mingazzini’s maneuver, global hyporeflexia and talon gait were found. Just the following tests were changed: second Covid-19 serology IgM and IgG positives; ENMG: sensory motor polyneuropathy, primarily axonal, with signs of chronicity and without signs of acute denervation in the current. Started gabapentin and physical therapy. Patient still has paresthesia in hands and feet, but with partial improvement. Conclusion: This case alerts to neurological symptoms of Covid-19 in the medium and long term.

Published: December 2021

Abstract

Compensation programs need to be aligned with organizational policies and objectives. This article is a literature review on employee compensation programs in support of organizational policies and goals. Organizations can use a combination of fixed-variable compensation, direct-indirect compensation according to organizational goals. Fixed compensation is more appropriate for routine work, whereas variable compensation is more appropriate for behavioral incentives and performance-based management. The amount of direct compensation will provide autonomy for employees in spending their family needs, however, it does not guarantee employees to allocate it, such as for: education and training costs, sports, health insurance, old age insurance, recreation. These costs are more suitable for indirect compensation. Organizations can consider the amount of compensation both in planning, evaluation through several factors, namely internal employees, organizational environment, and external environment.

FEATURES OF THE MIGRATION MOVEMENT OF UKRAINIANS TO GERMANY AND PROSPECTS FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Panchenko Tetyana
Published: December 2021

The article deals with a popular direction of the migration movement of Ukrainians in the conditions of increasing migration flows from Ukraine, in particular, the migrations of Ukrainians to Germany. The purpose of article is an analysis the current wave of migration from Ukraine to Germany and assessing the prospects for the development of migration processes in this direction. The modern fifth wave of migration from Ukraine to Germany, which began after 2010, stands out as an integral part of the history of Ukrainian migration and differs from the”wage-earning» wave on the grounds that it is characterized also by noneconomic motives of migration. The quantitative and socio-demographic characteristics of Ukrainian migrants, especially the fifth wave, their migration experience, educational level and employment were determined on the basis of an analysis of data from the Federal Office of Statistics of Germany and other sources. Particular attention is paid to highly skilled labour migrants from Ukraine who came to Germany after 2010: the reasons for their migration, sources of access to the German labour market, primarily through the Blue Card program and through the educational channel, are being investigated. Further prospects for labour migration from Ukraine to Germany are evaluated in the context of the new migration law in Germany: done a comparative analysis of the migration attractiveness of Germany and Poland, which has significantly simplified migration from Ukraine, and assessed the possibility of returning migrant workers to Ukraine. It is concluded that a further gradual increase in the number of highly skilled Ukrainians in Germany and the final elimination of the fifth wave of Ukrainian migration is dominated by professionals.
SOCIAL NETWORKS AS A FACTOR OF CHANGES IN POLITICAL CULTURE AND POLITICAL PRACTICES IN UKRAINE: RISKS AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Mykhailova Olha
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes changes in the political culture and political practices of Ukrainian citizens related to the spread of the new Internet communication format – social networks. The characteristics of network communication, such as radical democracy, access to the global information market, rapid implementation of technological innovations, etc, are outlined. The social networks are shown as an important decisive factor of public opinion shaping, political agenda and political culture in Ukraine. This gives rise to specific humanitarian safety risks. It is fixed the threat of information and communication influence by the Russian security services on the consciousness of Ukrainians through social networks. Appropriately it is proposed the measures to minimize this threat, as well as to introduce a more active, offensive strategy in the information and communication field. There are also outlined the risks to national consolidation cased by the low level of communicative culture, excessive emotionality and politicization of Ukrainian network users. Complicating communication strategies has been identified as a promising area for humanitarian policy, as it enables national security to be strengthened without the offensive on free speech or repressive measures. At present, the Ukrainian state is not using this new communication format effectively enough. In this regard, it is proposed to carry out a series of educational activities and initiatives of various levels aimed at promoting the level of communication culture of Ukrainians. Implementation of these measures would help launch the deliberation processes, consolidation of Ukrainian citizens, search for consensus and innovative solutions of the problems that are currently polarizing society. It is shown that such a direction of humanitarian policy is in line with the democratic traditions of Ukrainian political culture and the constitutional foundations of the Ukrainian state.
MONITORING OF STATE POLICY WITH THE HELP OF MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Kachynskyi Anatolii
Published: December 2021

The article states that a high level of analytical support should be provided during the development of national security policy. Therefore, there is a need to create new conceptual approaches based on the methodology of systems analysis and information technology, including big data. This makes it possible to forecast and make decisions in the field of national security with the help of appropriate indicators and indices.Attention is drawn to the fact that when monitoring national security with the help of indicators, indices and their threshhold values, it is important to monitor the dynamics of processes taking place in different areas of national security, and not by individual events. This approach makes it possible to consider the management of the national security system with the help of threshhold values and indicators as a regulatory activity.Attention is drawn to the fact that traditionally the analysis in the field of national security was based on the data of the security and defense sector. These data concerned the events that had already taken place. However, borrowing external data opens up greater opportunities for moving along the chain of analytical research: from assessing past events to reliably predicting future challenges and threats to national security. Therefore, the process of making strategic decisions using Big Data technology can be organized using the pyramid DIKW. The use of indicators and indicators of national security in the three-level system of national security is considered. The goals and objectives of the strategic, tactical and operational levels are determined by current legislation and the higher (strategic) level.The emphasis is on the fact that Big Data provides additional context by integrating external data to turn data into information. With the help of appropriate doctrines, concepts and strategies, this information can be further improved. Given the differences in the rate of change at all levels of the hierarchy of national security, we can conclude that all levels are responsible for implementing main directions of the state national security policy, although they are based on different national security indicators, their statistical characteristics, expert assessments, thresholds.
LEGITIMATION OF AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE IN RUSSIAN OFFICIAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Shevko Demian
Published: December 2021

The article examines some aspects of the political legitimization of illegal actions in international relations through the Kremlin's official discourse aiming to justify aggression against Ukraine. To "normalize" its actions in the international arena, Russian authorities organize large-scale and well-coordinated information campaigns, which, combined with diplomatic and economic pressure and other non-military measures, threaten to destabilize the global security. Enjoying virtually total control over the media within Russia and a using a number of powerful international media tools, Russia's political elites are trying to create an alternative political discursive reality to convince different target audiences of the "rationality" of their actions and influence their behavior accordingly. These measures constitute an integral part of Moscow's official discoursewith main goal to restore Soviet era geopolitical power and achieve strategic balance in the civilizational confrontation with the West. The article provides a brief theoretical analysis of the concepts of "legitimacy" and "discourse" in the context of international relations and causalities between Russia’s attempts to legitimize aggression against Ukraine and the Kremlin's perceptions of identity, historical memory and foreign policy. Based on the analysis of the existing scientific literature in the field of legitimation of political actions in the international arena, following categorization of legitimation strategies used by the Russian Federation in official discourse to justify annexation of Crimea and armed aggression in Donbass is proposed: 1) legitimation through reference to customs, laws and traditions; 2) legitimation by appealing to altruism and a certain system of moral and humanitarian values; 3) legitimation through rationalization, theorizing; 4) legitimation through emotions and a hypothetical future. The use of Kremlin discursive practices and legitimation strategies is illustrated by analyzing the text and talk of Vladimir Putin and other leaders of Russian political elite.
EXPERIENCE OF BALKAN COUNTRIES ON TERRITORY INTEGRATION
Authors: Palii Ganna
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the experience of the Balkan countries in de-occupation and reintegration of territories. Cases of conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in 1993–2019, North Macedonia since 2019) are being studied. The analysis is based on a study of all stages of conflict resolution.

The article examines the sequence of key aspects of the settlement. Consideration of all stages of armed conflicts in the Balkan region has shown that international peace-keeping missions, with military and civilian components, play a significant role. The participation of various international organizations (UN, NATO, EU) and countries (USA) and in resolving those conflicts and further integration also had a decisive influence.

The reintegration processes in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia were based on peace agreements, as well as the full restoration of border and territory controlling. The next stage was to ensure demilitarization and disarmament. The fully fledged process of integration also included law enforcement reform, election preparation and conduct. The issues of post-war justice, punishment for war crimes and mass human rights violations were among the top priorities. In the implementation of all these reintegration measures, international organizations were involved, which actively provided assistance and performed a monitoring function.

Among the necessary conditions for de-occupation and peaceful reintegration are the following: consolidation and consistency of the positions of the political and military leadership, the presence of a powerful army, implementation of sanctions, economic and military-political pressure on the aggressor side, demilitarization and control of the territory, justice and amnesty with fixed frameworks.

The prospect of further research is that valuable experience with conflict resolution settlement and reintegration contains effective mechanisms that can be adapted in the case of Ukraine.

Vasos comunicantes entre cartografía, historia y geopolítica en el Mapa de la República de la Nueva Granada (1847) de Joaquín Acosta
Authors: Muñoz Lucía Duque
Published: December 2021

Durante su segunda estadía en Francia, Joaquín Acosta hizo imprimir en Paris el Mapa de la República de la Nueva Granada dedicado al barón de Humboldt (1847). Esta carta está entre las primeras del periodo nacional colombiano que conjuga información levantada por un granadino con la mayoría de conocimientos geográficos modernos existentes sobre el país. El mapa se centra en la geografía física, representando detalladamente litorales, relieve, hidrografía e innumerables poblaciones. Además de la información relativa a la geografía física, un aporte fundamental de esta carta es su propuesta de trazado de los límites del territorio granadino basada particularmente en documentos de finales del periodo colonial. La intención de este artículo es entonces explorar el método utilizado para la construcción del mapa, haciendo énfasis en la forma en que combina prácticas de cartógrafo e historiador.

Beastly Modernisms: The Question of Animal Speech and Psychology in James Joyce and Virginia Woolf
Authors: Federici Annalisa
Published: December 2021

This essay analyses the ways in which James Joyce and Virginia Woolf addressed from a very early stage key issues related to contemporary posthumanist theories such as the question of animal speech and psychology. Both Joyce’s description of human-animal encounters in Ulysses and Woolf’s depiction of a sentient animal subject in Flush: A Biography at first present, and then subvert, the idea of the use of language as evidence of a human surpassing of the animal. By challenging preconceived notions of species distinctions, these authors ultimately decenter the human to focus instead on the centrality of animal subjectivity and sensory experience. While the question of a sharp divide between human and nonhuman animals along the axis of speech can be traceable to the anthropocentric tradition of western humanism and not least to such a possible source as Cervantes (whose novella “The Dialogue of the Dogs” is listed as part of both Joyce’s Trieste library and the library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf), the idea of expanding the typically modernist focus on inner life by also including other forms of subjectivity may have derived from the coeval, burgeoning fields of zoology, ethology and comparative psychology. Drawing from these sources and popular areas of knowledge which formed part of the cultural climate of the time, both Joyce and Woolf explore cross-species intersubjectivity in ways that shift the terms of representation away from anthropocentric views in order to affirm, blur and deny the boundaries between the human and the non-human.
Estética post-humana en la obra gráfica de Claudio Romo
Authors: Mercier Claire
Published: December 2021

This paper considers the graphic work of the Chilean artist Claudio Romo from a post-human perspective. Romo's work realizes an opening of imaginaries, above all, new configurations of human being, in order to reconsider the boundaries of human nature and propose a new humanism in relation to a new understanding of modernity. After a theoretical tour of post-humanism, especially of Rosi Braidotti's philosophical nomadism, the paper will approach the post-human bestiary that elaborates Romo, on the one hand, as a questioning of access to empirical realities and, on the other hand, as a presentation of potential life forms. The paper will conclude on the presence, in Romo’s work, of a new affirmative humanism, that is, the experimentation of new modes of subjectivization, as well as the approach of new modes of knowledge.

Assessment of needle stick injuries among healthcare workers: A cross-sectional study from Kakiri military and SOS hospitals, Uganda
Authors: Basaza Robert , Emmanuel Otieno , Haddock Christopher Keith
Published: December 2021

The Ugandan military medical services work together with the civilian public health system to deliver quality healthcare. This Partnership is the mainstay of health service delivery in Uganda. The burden of needle stick injuries (NSIs) is increasing in Uganda’s larger health industry; however, data on needle stick injury in military and public health facilities is lacking. No published data exist on comparative studies for a mix of facilities both military and civilian health settings. This study represents the first time this issue has been studied in a military or public health hospital in Uganda. A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2018 to September 2019 in Kakiri Military and SOS Hospitals in Uganda using a structured questionnaire. Respondents were purposively selected based on the objectives of study, occupation status and department (N = 310). The overall prevalence of NSIs among respondents was 27.2% and prevalence rates for the two facilities was nearly identical. The largest percentage of NSIs occurred during drawing venous blood samples (49.4%). Significant predictors of NSI were gender, occupational status, age, poor knowledge on prevention and post exposure of NSI, and less professional experience. Infection control practices were lacking in both selected health facilities. Over a quarter of HCWs in Uganda reported NSIs, which places them at significant health risk. Fostering the practice of universal precautions, best infection control practices and training of healthcare workers on bio-safety measures can reduce the prevalence of NSIs.

Published: December 2021

A pot experiment was conducted during kharif, 2018 inside CO2 Temperature Gradient Tunnels (CTGT) to assess the effect of elevated CO2 and temperature [T0: ambient temperature & ambient CO2, T1: elevated temperature (ambient +1°C) & elevated CO2 (ambient+25% of ambient) and T2: elevated temperature (ambient +2°C) & elevated CO2 (ambient + 50% of ambient)] under three different transplanting dates (D1: 25th June, D2: 10th July and D3: 25th July) on growth and yield of rice in Jorhat district of Assam. The result showed that occurrence of different phenological stages was earlier under elevated CO2-Temperature conditions resulting in reduction of crop duration by about 8-15 days. On the other hand,days to tiller initiation increased whereas days to panicle initiation, flowering and physiological maturity reduced with delay in transplanting. Yield attributing parameters were improved under elevated CO2-Temperature condition. With respect to dates of transplanting, D2 recorded higher number of panicles hill-1 (17.9) and higher filled grains panicle-1 (156.6). Higher grain yield (55.9g hill-1) was found under T2 which was at par with T1 and it was significant higher over the ambient. Grain yield was significantly reduced when transplanting was delayed after 10th July. The results revealed that the growth and yield of rice was found to be better under elevated CO2-temperature levels when transplanted on 10th July.

Published: December 2021

The mustard production and productivity of the hot arid region of Rajasthan is dominated by both genetic makeup and environmental conditions. An experiment was conducted with four mustard varieties  (RGN-73, RGN-229, RH-30 and Pusa bold) in two growing environments (open environment and neem shade). Pusa bold gave significantly higher plant height than other varieties. Among varieties, RGN-73 had significantly higher number of branches per plant, dry matter accumulation per plant, siliquae per plant, seed yield, stover yield, biological yield, harvest index and heat use efficiency than other varieties. However, significantly higher test weight was in Pusa bold variety. Under open environment condition, significantly higher growth, yield attributes, yield, harvest index and heat use efficiency were found as compared to neem shade environment. The results revealed that variety RGN-229 took more days for completion of life cycle as compared to other varieties, hence RGN-229 variety required significantly more degree days than other varieties.

The proper prognosis of treatment response is crucial in any medical therapy to reduce the effects of the disease and of the medication as well. The mortality rate due to hepatitis c virus (HCV) is high in Pakistan as well as all over the world. During the treatment of any disease, prediction of treatment response against any particular medicine is difficult. This paper focuses on predicting the treatment response of a drug: “L-ornithine L-Aspartate (LOLA)” in hepatitis c patients. We have used various machine learning techniques for the prediction of treatment response, including: “K Nearest Neighbor, kStar, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Radial Basis Function, PART, Decision Tree, OneR, Support Vector Machine and Multi-Layer Perceptron”. Performance measures used to analyze the performance of used machine learning techniques include, “Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F-Measure”.

"The researches were carried out in 2019 in an apple plantation with Jonathan, Golden Delicious,
Starkrimson varieties grafted on MM106 in the fields of the Fălticeni Development Centre belonging to the
Development Research Station for Fruit Growing Iași (North Eastern Romania). The climatic conditions in 2019
were favorable for the development of pathogens Venturia inaequalis, Podosphaera leucotricha and Monilinia
fructigena. In the conditions of fungicide treatments, the varieties sensitive to apple scab on fruits were
Starkrimson and Golden Delicious with an attack degree between 4.5 and 10.5%. Pest species Cydia pomonella
and Adoxophyes reticulana showed a frequency of attack of 45% and 15%, respectively in the case of untreated
control. The results of the studies highlight the importance of applying phytosanitary treatments correlated with
climatic conditions and resistance of varieties to the attack of diseases and pests."

The soils of Brazilian Savanna, naturally, present acidity problems, making correction practices fundamental to ensure production. Even with so many years since the introduction of agriculture, some soil correction practices are still misused. Thus, the objective was to evaluate soybean yield and chemical changes in a Red Oxisol in the Brazilian Savanna with the use of limestone, associated or not with gypsum, applied superficially and incorporated by harrow and moldboard plow. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, in Rio Verde-GO, cultivating soybeans in the 2015/2016 and 2016/1017 harvests. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications, with treatments arranged in a 3 × 3 factorial scheme. The first factor refers to the application of superficial limestone and incorporated by harrow and moldboard plow. The second factor was the presence or absence of limestone and/or gypsum (0 + 0; 0.875 + 0 and 0.875 + 1.75 t ha-1). Plant height, number of pods per plant, productivity, pH, Al, CTC, Ca, Mg and V were evaluated, in soil depths of 0-0.2 and 0.2-0.4 m. In the 2016/2017 harvest, the characteristics of pH, CTC, V and contents of Ca, Mg and Al were influenced by the methods of application of limestone and by its use, associated or not with gypsum. There was an increase in pH on the soil surface with the use of limestone and on the subsurface with the use of limestone and gypsum. The moldboard plow provided increases in the contents of Ca and Mg in the soil in comparison to surface application. The moldboard plow incresed in soybean yield, in the second crop, with and without association of gypsum with limestone.
Morphological Variability of Generative Individuals of Rare Decorative Ephemeroids of the Northern Tien Shan As Evidence of Their Adaptive Potential

Published: December 2021

We assessed the adaptive potential of two rare decorative species listed in the
Red Book of Kazakhstan
:
Tulipa tarda
Stapf (Liliaceae) and
Gymnospermium altaicum
(Pall.) Spach (Berberidaceae) by studying the morphological variability of generative individuals of the species. Our studies were carried out in natural populations in the Northern Tien Shan and introduced populations of the botanical garden and urban green areas of Almaty. These species showed a high degree of adaptation under the conditions of the introduction. Moreover,
Gymnospermium altaicum
, accidentally introduced into the urban green area of Bukhar Zhyrau Boulevard (Almaty), had formed a naturalized population that persisted for more than 8 years. The naturalized population of
Tulipa tarda
in the botanical garden (Almaty), introduced more than 20 years ago by one of the authors of this article, has been in existence even longer. In the latter case, individuals of seed origin showed higher adaptive capabilities than those transferred by the bulbs of generative plants.
Organization of learning environment in Waldorf schools. Pedagogical inspirations for early school education
Authors: Witkowska-Tomaszewska Anna
Published: December 2021

The educational ideology presented by Rudolf Steiner has both ardent supporters and opponents. But without a doubt it can be an inspiration to change the way of thinking about the way the learning environment is organized. Despite the lapse of many years since its inception, Steiner’s pedagogy has not lost its appeal and can provide a valuable source for the construction of modern holistic constructivist education, according to which the student is not only active but also becomes a partner of the teacher in the process of developing their knowledge, skills and socio-emotional resources. The article presents the assumptions of Steiner’s education in the perspective of the two most important areas of organization of the learning environment: the role of the teacher and the methodology of work. Through analysis of the texts, the method of organization of the educational process will be presented, which can be used in elementary schools in grades 1-3.
Implementation of solution-focused approach in teacher’s educational work
Authors: Zubrzycka-Maciąg Teresa
Published: December 2021

For many teachers working at school means solving problems of a various nature. These problems are often associated with teaching difficulties, and even more often with educational issues caused by students. When focussing on problems, teachers experience a sense of work overload, disappointment and stress, or a sense of helplessness and lack of empowerment. The paper presents an alternative, novel approach to teacher’s work. Instead of an in depth examination of problems, the solution-focussed approach redirects the teacher’s greater attention to searching for exceptions from existing problems and developing aspects which enable students to function effectively at school, to student’s achievements and resources. The article presents the theoretical assumptions of solution-based education and its possible use by the teacher in work with the student and the whole class.
The coronavirus generation, i.e., the life situation of German children and adolescents during the pandemic
Authors: Sander Aleksandra
Published: December 2021

The results of the research presented in the article illustrate the complexity of the life situation of German children and adolescents during the pandemic. The article also presents the professional situation of parents during the crisis caused by the pandemic and changes in the labor market (e.g. the coronavirus effect). The results of the first studies characterizing the phenomenon of domestic violence, conducted by researchers at the Technical University of Munich, are also shown. The situation of children and adolescents is illustrated, among others, by numerical data of criminal statistics or the Robert Koch Institute. In the article, the midwife emphasizes examples of such research results in which children and adolescents were participants. This is because such a selection of respondents makes it possible to get to know their opinions about the time of the pandemic, lockdown or homeschooling. The research also revealed that the coronavirus has become a "virus of social inequality" as it has worsened the situation of families at risk of poverty. The conclusion also shows the directions of activities undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to support students after the lockdown period.
