Published: June 2023

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between dyspnea and sleep quality in lung cancer patients. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was carried out between October 2020 and May 2021. The population of the study consisted of all patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer and receiving treatment as inpatients in the Medical Oncology inpatient clinics and outpatient Chemotherapy Unit at İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center. The sample included patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The study was completed with 115 patients. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Cancer Dyspnea Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. ANOVA, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients, and linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of the patients was 60.94±10.62, the mean Cancer Dyspnea Scale score was 27.43±11.71, and the mean total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score was 14.60±3.06. There was a positive correlation between dyspnea scores and sleep quality (p<0.05), while the regression analysis results showed that the total Cancer Dyspnea Scale scores had a statistically significant positive effect on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a negative relationship between dyspnea and sleep quality. As the dyspnea level of patients increases, their sleep quality decreases. It is recommended to plan interventions to reduce dyspnea in patients with sleep disorders.

Značilnosti revolucionarnega sodstva
Authors: Griesser Pečar Tamara
Published: June 2023

In totalitarian countries, everything is subordinated to a certain ideology and dictator or party. The powers of the state are unified. Crime is part of the system. Violations of human rights occur daily. Strong political police forces are present. An effective method of repression are politically motivated trials (or show trials); their purpose is to eliminate actual and alleged enemies and to intimidate people. The trials are only seemingly being carried out in accordance with legal norms. In reality, their course and outcome are dictated either by the dictator or the party. During the Second World War, the Kočevje trial took place. It served as an example for all post-war show trials in Slovenia. It was not carried out in accordance with legal norms: in the investigation and the actual trial, human rights were violated, only witnesses and evidence that incriminated the accused were considered, the indictment was issued too late which prevented the accused from preparing their defence, the defending counsels faced a conflict of interests, the judges were lay judges. Additionally, the court in Kočevje had no legal basis since the Kingdom of Yugoslavia still existed at the time.

Published: June 2023

Atualmente os temas relacionados à Educação Sexual, indiscutivelmente  imprescindíveis ao desenvolvimento de todo e qualquer indivíduo, vem sendo amplamente discutidos em vários âmbitos da sociedade, porém, nem sempre com a cientificidade necessária. Alguns discursos estereotipados e pautados em lacunas e desconhecimentos, ainda se fazem presentes socialmente, o que contribui para a perpetuação de preconceitos relacionados ao gênero e à sexualidade, bem como, às tentativas de inserções das temáticas no âmbito escolar. Neste contexto, o presente artigo traz um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado realizada no ano de 2017[1], e calca-se na análise do discurso de três agentes escolares acerca das contradições tangentes à Educação Sexual de crianças em fase de Educação Infantil e à responsabilização da escola e da família neste contexto. Para a elaboração da pesquisa semiestruturada realizada com as colaboradoras, utilizamos os principais conceitos desenvolvidos por Pierre Bourdieu e sua equipe, a saber, habitus, capital cultural, capital social, gênero e herança cultural. Para a análise dos dados, utilizamos o método praxiológico, também elaborado pelo sociólogo francês. Como resultados, destacamos as contradições existentes nas falas das participantes, sobretudo, no que se refere à transferência de responsabilização entre escola e família, além de diversas disparidades acerca dos conceitos referentes aos temas Educação Sexual, Gênero e Sexualidade. Para finalizar, ressaltamos que o presente estudo tem a pretensão trazer discussões preliminares acerca da importância da relação escola e família na Educação Sexual das crianças, bem como, da inserção desta ciência enquanto prática pedagógica.
Produção do espaço urbano de Vitoria da Conquista e os aspectos da população idosa no contexto urbano
Authors: Rocha Altemar Amaral , Lopes Rita de Cássia Ribeiro
Published: June 2023

De acordo com os Censos Demográficos do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE é possível verificar que existe um envelhecimento da população urbana de Vitória da Conquista, seguido de um aumento da população que reside em área urbana.  Nos últimos anos a cidade de Vitória da Conquista passou a ter uma estrutura urbana bastante fragmentada e ao mesmo tempo desigual. Esse quadro vem se delineando desde meados do século XX com a rápida expansão que a cidade produziu nos anos de 1970 e 1980.  Verifica-se que a  expansão do modo de produção capitalista acirrou as desigualdades socioespaciais nas cidades e acelerou o processo de acumulação capitalista que, por um lado, passou a reproduzir em todos os cantos do mundo, uma condição de vida pautada na produção do capital e, por outro, a produção espacial da cidade, gera uma singularidade dos lugares que acaba por produzir uma morfologia singular com formas espaciais diferenciadas, movidas pela lógica da representação do espaço urbano, neste sentido,  a singularidade constatada em Vitória da Conquista e demonstrada nessa pesquisa é que a expansão urbana ocorrida no final do século XX e inicio do século XXI,  trouxe consigo um envelhecimento da população que nela habita. O que pretende aqui é produzir uma contribuição à discussão da modernidade do pensamento geográfico à luz do momento de crise e ruptura do paradigma vigente e, fomentar a discussão de uma ciência concreta, que se materializa num espaço concreto. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar as desigualdades socioespaciais derivadas da produção do espaço urbano de Vitória da Conquista-BA, tendo como fio condutor  a analise da questão do envelhecimento da população urbana em detrimento da produção espacial que ocorre na cidade bem como uma avaliação da espacialidade urbana  voltada para o atendimento  dessa faixa populacional que habita em Vitória da Conquista-BA.

Partindo da tipologia de Esping-Andersen (EA, 1990), nosso artigo busca classificar os sistemas de 35 países membros da OCDE, por meio de indicadores sociais, econômicos e culturais, em uma combinação de análises fatorial e de cluster. Como principais contribuições: 1)Testamos a  tipologia de EA produzindo os tipos Liberal, Conservador e Social-Democrata, porém houve observamos uma mudança significativa de posição entre os países em direção ao cluster Social-Democrata; 2) Nossos resultados destacaram dois novos tipos, um formado por países Pós-Comunistas, o que nos faz aceitar que seus sistemas de bem-estar ainda são instáveis e outro formado apenas pelos Estados Unidos, o que denota um afastamento gradual do grupo Liberal, devido ao aumento dos gastos sociais; 3) Identificamos que os países latinos evoluíram para um dos três tipos tradicionais.

Published: June 2023

Os estudos do grupo de pesquisa gestar/CNPq/UFSM têm em suas prioridades a análise de políticas educacionais e processos de gestão escolar. Neste sentido, este estudo objetiva compreender como a Rede Municipal de Ensino de Encruzilhada do Sul/RS desenvolveu o seu processo de elaboração do Documento Orientador Municipal (DOM) na perspectiva da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e, também, do Referencial Curricular Gaúcho (RCG). Realizou-se um estudo exploratório com base em revisão de literatura e análise documental. Evidenciou-se que o DOM e o RCG atendem os preceitos da BNCC, uma vez que as competências e habilidades previstas em ambos estão presentes no currículo escolar analisado. Nesta perspectiva, torna-se indispensável que os sistemas, redes e instituições de ensino realizem espaços de formação, discussão e planejamento entre os/as gestores/as e professores/as, priorizando estudos e construção participativa, democrática e compartilhada de suas práxis pedagógicas, a partir de uma perspectiva crítica dos preceitos que balizam a BNCC nos currículos escolares municipais.

Análise documental, recolhimento de material, revisão bibliográfica ou sistemática estão entre os métodos mais comuns presentes nos estudos acadêmicos não empíricos. Estas importantes fontes de informação, muitas vezes, são vistas como mecanismos menores no meio científico. Como objetivos deste manuscrito, buscamos apresentar uma visão atualizada sobre alguns métodos e técnicas de pesquisas não empíricas, destacando os elementos de análise bibliográfica, o uso das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e da Comunicação (TDIC) e clarificar a importância do lugar privilegiado da escrita técnica e tecnológica para o avanço das ciências no Brasil, ainda carente em publicações robustas de caráter técnico-científicos, principalmente com reflexões sobre as ciências humanas e construções filosóficas. Ao fim, pretende-se revelar o caráter idiossincrático das pesquisas não empíricas em seu rigor metodológico e pragmático, indissociável à pesquisa científica.

Authors: Azzopardi Luke Mallia
Published: June 2023

The research title of this study is Educators Experiences of Managing Workplace Stress and Burnout in a Post-Secondary Vocational Institution. The research questions driving this study are what stressors do you encounter at your place of work and what coping mechanisms do you use to mitigate workplace stress. The methodology which was deemed most suitable to conduct this study is interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith 1990). A total of five lecturers from three different institutes were recruited purposively, and voluntarily, to sit for one individual, in-depth, and semi-structured interview. The data collected from the interviews was transcribed verbatim and analysed using the typical IPA analysis process. The two superordinate themes of stressors and coping mechanisms, together with their respective subthemes, were chosen as the most suitable to represent the participants experience.
A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Different Feeding Regimes on the Physiochemical Characteristics of Local Sheeps Milk
Authors: Abela Joseph J.
Published: June 2023

The herding of sheep has been part of the Maltese food supply chain for a long time. Sheep were mainly kept for milk, meat, and wool. Local sheep milk was and is still in use for cheese production, especially cheeselets. The participants in this study were local sheep that were fed different feeding regimes. In total, 6 farms were identified; these were scattered throughout the main island and comprised four different feeding regimes. Milk samples were collected during early, mid, and late lactation. Samples were taken directly from the pail or milk tank before starting the process to transform this milk into cheeslets, i.e., exactly after milking. Samples were analyzed the day after in the laboratory using the Lactoscan SP milk analyser. Data gathered included fat percentage, protein, lactose, freezing point, and salts. The best milk fat results in this research were obtained by the group fed concentrates, dried hay, and which had an hours grazing per day. The group fed concentrates which had three hours of grazing per day got the best results with regard to protein, lactose, and salt content in the milk. This means that a good energy:protein ratio in the feed is important as all ingredients found in the raw milk have an important function. Therefore, reaching the best level of each is the main priority for the farmer to obtain a final product of good quality.
Interactions Between Cetaceans and Small-scale Fisheries Around the Central Mediterranean Maltese islands
Authors: Laspina Matthew , Terribile Kimberly , Said Alicia
Published: June 2023

Cetacean depredation poses threats to both the socioeconomic viability of fisheries as well as species conservation. This study is based in the Maltese islands where the fishing sector has always been of a small-scale nature, with 93% of vessels being under 12 metres in length. Maltese fishers engage in small-scale fishing utilizing a variety of artisanal fishing gear, including surface longlines, which are mainly used to target swordfish and tuna; bottom-longlines; trammel nets and entangling nets, which are used to target groupers, various species of bream, red snappers and red porgies; and pots and traps which are generally used to captured octopus and bogue. This study, which aimed to analyse fishers perception with respect to interaction occurrence between small-scale fisheries and cetaceans in Maltese waters, found that fishers claim that dolphin presence has increased in the past five years, particularly in the vicinity of bluefin tuna, seabream, and seabass fish farms locations. While the use of trammel nets remains by far the most popular gear type employed by Maltese fishers, this study showed that around 33% of the fishing gear deployed in the past year suffered damages. It is therefore essential that proper monitoring is carried out in order to assess the factors that drive the interactions and the impact of dolphin depredation on the fishing sector. New prevention and mitigation measures are proposed. This study provides first-hand insights which will aid in the execution of local fisheries management plans and, subsequently, ecosystem-based fisheries management.

The Fairy Tale of Professional Maltese Sport: Exploring Obstacles and Hindrances in Local Elite Sport Development
Authors: Grech Andy , Toering Tynke , Collins Dave
Published: June 2023

It is an anomaly to hear of a Maltese athlete who earns a living solely fromsport. Culturally, it is almost considered nonsensical for an athlete to consider pursuingsport as a profession. In contrast, Cyprus, Iceland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein are fourcomparable countries that form part of the European Small States and are all under theone million inhabitants mark. Notably, however, each can boast of a number of professionalathletes and lucrative results at the highest pinnacle of sports, the Olympic Games. Indeed,Liechtenstein, probably one of the smallest states in Europe with a modest population of38,244 as opposed to Maltas 416,388 (at the time of writing), has very recently won bronzeat the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Koreatheir ninth at the winter edition.These anomalies beg the question: is a Maltese world-class athlete a character from a fairytale? Or is this a sociocultural issue? The themes explored in this paper highlight a numberof contrasting, yet impactful differences between the micro-states. Accordingly, using theMalta situation as a lens, we theoretically explore what may impede some populations frombeing equally competitive as other European micro-states.
The Impact of Body Image on Advanced Female Dancers
Authors: Caruana Bonnici Dorianne , Galea Amy Emily
Published: June 2023

In class and on stage, body image is generally considered to have a major impact on a professional dancers career. This paper explores issues relating to body image in the world of dance, as based on the personal experiences of dancers themselves. From the inception of their careers, dancers are generally expected to achieve the standard body image and engage in a constant struggle for leanness. We present the findings of a study aimed at understanding the impact that body image has on the lives of advanced female dancers. Seven advanced female dancers from different dance genres participated in semistructured interviews in which they were asked about their experiences and opinions onbody image in dance. After a qualitative thematic analysis of the interview transcripts, it became evident that all the participants encountered or witnessed some form of pressure to achieve and maintain an ideal body image. Experiences of body shaming from both mentors and fellow classmates were reported, which had the effect of compromising self-esteem, increasing the risk of developing drastic or otherwise unhealthy dietary habits, as well as leading to the temptation to quit dancing altogether.
The Effects of Specific Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria in Creative Art Education: Do educators and Students have the Opportunity to Teach and Learn Vital Transversal Skills?
Authors: Callus Simon
Published: June 2023

Within the courses offered at bachelor levels at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technologys (MCAST) Institute of the Creative Arts (ICA), students are led through a number of units related to the specific art they chose over a three-year period. Although there is a large emphasis on the practical and artistic components, the structures of assessment and unit building imposed on the lecturers might often restrict the flexibility needed to teach their art form in the way they see most fit. Instead of adopting pedagogies usually associated with the creative arts, such as studio work, and (artistic) research to strengthen the importance given to the practical element within vocational education and training (VET) in the creative arts, the current structures of assessment criteria used also create situations where students simply carry out a box-ticking exercise, spending very little time or effort on the project itself and yet achieving the grade but not the intended learning outcomes.Through interviews with lecturers from different departments at MCAST ICA, this study will determine how lecturers build their units around the learning outcomes, assess the work of the students based on the assessment criteria, and if they feel restricted and need to find creative ways to circumnavigate these restrictions in order to deliver the unit. The interviews also determine how much thought and importance is given to creating the opportunities for the transversal skills to be learnt by the students.
Enterprise Misconceptions and Potential New Perspectives
Authors: Bridge Simon
Published: June 2023

Many commentators have highlighted aspects of observed enterprise behaviour which do not appear to conform to the usually accepted understanding about it and also that many of the policies apparently informed by the accepted thinking appear not to have worked. Therefore there appear to be grounds for questioning the conventional wisdom in this area. What is that conventional wisdom? It is not clearly recorded as such but this paper suggests that it is based on, or at least consistent with, a set of assumptions such as the following: (a.) that enterprise is a sub-set of business; (b.) that, consequently, big-business-based thinking can be applied to it (on the assumption that all businesses are essentially homogeneous); and (c.) therefore it is assumed that, for example, that (i.) the aim of any business is to maximise its profits and that consequently it must want to grow; (ii.) that a business should prepare for the future by researching, forecasting, and then planning based on those forecasts; and that (iii.) business decisions will be based on logic not social influence. Although there are reasons for thinking those assumptions could have been made, and evidence that they were made, there are also reasons for thinking that the assumptions are wrong or at least misleading. Therefore this paper argues that, if knowledge about enterprise is to improve, a new paradigm is required. Accepting that requirement does not automatically reveal what the new thinking should be but, based on its analysis, this paper makes some suggestions for avenues to explore.

La acción de protección es una garantía jurisdiccional utilizada por los titulares de derechos para hacer cumplir los principios constitucionales en el ámbito jurisdiccional. Sin embargo, esto tiene ciertas condiciones, como los errores de interpretación, ya que es un blanco fácil para la mala interpretación, lo que resulta en que la acción sea declarada inadmisible o invalidada. El objetivo de la investigación fue examinar cómo los magistrados constitucionales utilizaron los principios de Iura Novit Curia para decidir una sentencia en el marco de una acción de protección mediante la realización de una revisión legal doctrinal de las leyes nacionales e internacionales. El método utilizado fue la metodología cualitativa de este trabajo se utilizaron la Carta Magna del Ecuador, la Ley Orgánica de Garantías Jurisdiccionales y Control Constitucional y otras importantes leyes ecuatorianas vigentes. La revisión de las sentencias revela que existe un flagrante desconocimiento del principio iura novit curia en materia constitucional y de protección de los derechos fundamentales, lo que demuestra que los jueces no cuentan con la formación adecuada en derecho constitucional.

After the promulgation of Government Regulation Number 24 of 2022, copyright should be a breath of fresh air. Financial institutions support this regulation, but have not been able to implement YouTube content as fiduciary guarantee. The method used in this research is the juridical-normative research method. The approach used in this research is the statutory approach. The government facilitates calculation assistance for intellectual property, but there are still many gaps in the application of these regulations. So we need a system or standard rules that regulate explicitly how to evaluate intellectual property economically. There are still many shortcomings in implementing Youtube content as a fiduciary guarantee, so additional regulations and a ready system are needed if we want to apply copyright as a fiduciary guarantee.

The “Data Envelopment Analysis” (DEA) non-parametric approach is used to study the impact of mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector in Bulgaria during the 2007-2018 period on the efficiency of banking units. The results of the analysis of the efficiency of the banks that went through this process show that, after the merger of the respective banking units, the acquiring banks manage to increase their scale efficiency and reach a technologically optimal scale of production several years after the merger. In addition, the findings show that most of them manage to reach maximum technical efficiency and are involved in shaping the boundary of efficiency of the entire banking system.
