Through the Looking Glass: Reflections from Three School Nurses Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Grano Catherine , Gavin Eileen , Cogan Robin
Published: October 2021

School nurses play a critical role as public health nurses and are guiding school communities through a global pandemic unlike anything seen in the past 100 years. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and worldwide shutdown, remote education became a necessity. In this article, three New Jersey school nurses share reflections about the COVID-19 pandemic. We illustrate the roles included in the National Association of School Nurses Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice, to describe school nurse contributions to address the COVID-19 community spread via contact tracing and care coordination. We describe school nurse advocacy through promotion of legislative inclusion in the state of New Jersey and efforts to mirror vaccine confidence. Our conclusion offers action steps to increase the presence of school nurses in key areas and build a more robust public health infrastructure.
Assessing Patient Ability to Exercise COVID-19 Transmission Based Precautions: A Proposed Clinical Tool
Authors: Becker Joel
Published: October 2021

Clinical decision-making during the present pandemic has challenged healthcare providers to the limits of their endurance. Inpatient facilities are discharging patients who are positive for the COVID-19 infection, based on testing, and who may still be positive but have symptoms that have remitted. Even medically stable patients may not be able to exercise basic transmission-based precautions such as handwashing or wearing a face mask, and may increase the risk of infection spread to others upon discharge. This can present challenging decisions about when, how, and where to discharge COVID inpatients. This article addresses the behavioral health aspects of this problem, offering background information and proposing creation of a Transmission Based Precautions Inventory. This clinical tool will use chart information and a clinical interview to assess the capability of patients upon discharge to exercise the appropriate behavior-based precautions to prevent the spread of any contagious infection. The discussion includes an exemplar that illustrates the dilemma, followed by other metrics for scoring and development of the tool. Administration time of the tool would be approximately 15-20 minutes and responses would score immediately to inform discharge decisions. The need for such a tool is current; however, the usefulness of an efficacious inventory would persist beyond the present pandemic. In the conclusion, the author invites reader feedback to inform the development and implementation process.
Sadie Heath Cabaniss and Professional School Nursing: Strategic Foundations to Promote Population Health
Authors: Houlahan Bridget , Deveneau Lilianna
Published: October 2021

School nursing began in New York City, and extended to the southern city of Richmond, Virginia from 1900-1920. Nurse leaders, including Virginia’s Sadie Heath Cabaniss, initiated and replicated community health programs to form and extend the early school nurse movement. This article describes the efforts of Cabaniss and her mentors, based on traditional historical research methods via a social history framework that included examination of numerous primary sources. Cabaniss often crossed lines of geography and culture to establish the Nurses’ Settlement of Richmond and impact school nursing in Richmond. Our analysis and discussion demonstrates that these leaders forged powerful alliances through which they established effective programs of public health. We introduce a framework of four synergistic concepts, the C.A.R.E. Model of Successful Nursing Initiatives. This model reflects the dynamic strategic approaches of collaboration, advocacy, research, and education that Cabaniss and her colleagues used successfully to impact population health through school nursing and considers the potential of the application for nurses of today.
The Social Determinants of Health, COVID-19, and Structural Competence
Authors: Robichaux Catherine , Sauerland Jeanie
Published: October 2021

The coronavirus pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations. As a result, the confluence of this pandemic, massive unemployment, and civil unrest has refocused attention on social determinants of health (SDOH), including racism, in the United States as a whole and specifically in healthcare. This article will discuss COVID-19 and the social determinants of health in the context of the historical focus and future directions of the nursing profession to consider these contributing factors, social justice in society, and the ethical mandate for nurses to address these issues. The authors provide recommendations to support the development of structural competence to address racism and inclusion of the SDOH information in education, policy, and practice. Suggestions for research to inform and prevent the inequities manifested in the current pandemic, and in the future, are included.
Game-Based Quality Improvement Teaching: Using Taters in Nursing Education
Authors: Kranz Clare , Macali Jennifer , Phengphoo Saifon , Schvaneveldt Nena , Patterson Brandon , Guo Jia-Wen
Published: October 2021

Background:

Quality improvement (QI) is difficult to teach in the classroom; therefore, nursing students are often under-prepared to participate in such projects after graduation. The Plan-Do-Study-Act method is commonplace in QI instruction and is often used in nursing. This study proposed and evaluated a gameful learning approach to improve understanding and engagement of a QI process using Potato Head figures.

Method:

An observational design was utilized. Following classroom activity, students self-selected to join focus groups to discuss gameful learning experiences in learning QI techniques. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results:

Overall, learners found the activity was effective in teaching QI. Positive and negative themes were identified, including fun and competitive, interactive and communication, and teamwork; disconnection between QI topic and game, and unclear instruction, respectively.

Conclusion:

Using gameful learning helped students understand and engage with QI projects that may translate to clinical practice for new graduate nurses.

New Problems and Iatrogenic Events Among Older Adults in the First 30 Days of Post-Acute Rehabilitation
Authors: Simpson Michelle , Kovach Christine R.
Published: October 2021

The current prospective study of 126 older adults examined the new problems and iatrogenic events developing in post-acute rehabilitation. Data were extracted from the electronic health record and a consensual agreement process was used for coding. Of the 578 new problems, 66% (
n
= 381) were not related to the primary problem treated at the hospital; 41.7% (
n
= 241) were iatrogenic adverse events. The median problem-free duration was 3 days and median duration to a moderate to severe problem was 8 days. Medication-related adverse events were common. This study did not show that comorbidity or functional level should be used in determining the likelihood of older adults developing new problems or iatrogenic events during post-acute rehabilitation. Inferential findings suggest older adults with a psychiatric diagnosis, cognitive impairment, or failure to thrive may require extra measures, such as comprehensive assessment and early intervention, to prevent new problems and iatrogenic events.

Authors: Naim Asmaa , Mansouri Safae , Saidi Kamal , Heddat Abdeljalil , Elhoury Younes , Rabii Redouane
Published: October 2021

To the Editor, Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in Morocco after lung cancer. External radiotherapy (RTE) is a curative therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer, However the conventional RTE remains a long treatment (7- 8 weeks, 5 days a week) which is demanding for patients and make difficult to manage the waiting lists. The development of imaging and irradiation techniques over the last decades has allowed a high precision in the delivery of the dose to the target organ and a better protection of the organs at risk (OAR), which has encouraged the hypo fractionated irradiation of localized prostate cancer, especially after the results of radiobiology studies that suggested a low report a/b for the prostate.

Published: October 2021

As the lockdowns have been lifted to relieve pressure on the economy, strict adherence to personal preventive measures (PPMs) in offices is essential to control the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated self-reported compliance with three PPMs among a sample of office workers in Karachi, Pakistan. A cross-sectional survey with participants were adult office workers who had resumed work in Karachi, Pakistan. All full-time employees aged ≥ 18 years who had resumed work in the offices were invited to complete the survey. Of 487 workers who were invited, 411 (84.4%) completed the survey between March 1 and March 20, 2021. We examined the effects of sociodemographic factors, individual-level factors, interpersonal-level factors, and social-structural–level factors using logistic regression models. Of the total sample, 192 (46.7%) reported always wearing a face mask in the workplace. Self-reported sanitizing of hands (46.0%) was comparable to use of face masks, whereas avoiding crowded places (21.2%) was less common. Perceived effectiveness of individual preventive measures (adjusted odds ratios [AORs] from 1.19 to 1.42; confidence intervals (CIs) 1.04–1.37 to CI 1.18–1.71), perceived effectiveness of governmental preventive measures (AORs from 1.23 to 1.39 CI 1.02–1.47 to CI 1.12–1.72), and number of preventive measures implemented by the office (AORs from 1.20 to 1.26 CI 1.09–1.31 to CI 1.13–1.39) were associated with self-reported compliance with PPMs. Perceived preparedness of medical system in Karachi (AOR 1.44, CI 1.08–1.93) was only associated with self-reported sanitizing of hands. Reduced compliance to PPMs was observed; hence, efforts need to be made to ensure strict adherence to PPMs.
Case Report: Molecular Detection and Characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi in Ocular Tissue from Donors with Chagas Disease
Authors: Alí Santoro Gianfranco , Starcenbaum Bouchez Marta I. , Cittadino Elisabeth , Drago Sofía Belén , Leguizamón María Susana , Burgos Juan M.
Published: October 2021

Corneal transplantation is the most frequent transplant worldwide. Tissue characteristics allow storage and transport, even between continents, increasing its accessibility around the world. Donor infection with Trypanosoma cruzi is not defined as a corneal discarding factor, although the transplant is not recommended preventively, as in any infectious diseases. Herein, by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategies, we analyzed parasite presence in ocular tissue from 10 deceased donors with Chagas diseases. Among them, positive findings were obtained in corneas, scleras, and eye muscle samples of three, two, and one donor, respectively. Moreover, among the six T. cruzi defined populations, TcV and TcVI parasites were found in some samples based on group-specific amplification strategies. Our findings point out the actual possibility of T. cruzi transmission due to corneal transplantation and makes donor’s serological status knowledge mandatory regardless of graft provenance. Failing that, we suggest a posttransplant follow-up of recipients from seropositive donors.

Arbor Praedicandi. Some Remarks on Dispositio in Mediaeval Sermons (on the Example of Sermo 39 “Semen Est Verbum Dei” by Mikołaj of Błonie)
Authors: Grzybowska Lidia
Published: October 2021

The main aim of this paper is to present the motif of a tree-shaped compositional scheme called arbor picta (arbor praedicandi) and to show it against the field of rhetorical elements such as dispositio and memoria as found in mediaeval sermons. The basic sources for the analysis of this question are two fourteenth-century theoretical treatises on the art of preaching (manuals: Libellus artis preadicatorie by Jacobus de Fusignano and Tractatulus solennis de arte et vero modo praedicandi by Pseudo-Thomas Aquinas), and one of the sermons from the collection de tempore of a fifteenth-century Polish preacher, Mikołaj of Błonie (Dominica sexagesime: sermo 39 “Semen est verbum Dei”). The problems of arbor praedicandi, which are part of a broader field of study on the structure of sermons, editorial methods of texts and mnemonics, were the subject of interest of many researchers such as H. Caplan, O.A. Dieter, S. Khan, S. Wenzel. In Poland, this issue has not yet become a subject of proper study. In order to analyse this scheme in the treatises of Jacobus de Fusignano and Pseudo-Thomas Aquinas, as well as in the exemplary sermon, the paper briefly outlines the existence of topics and images of the tree in the writings of the Middle Ages (e.g. lignum vitae, arbor sapientiae, arbor amoris). Then fragments from the manuals of Jacobus de Fusignano and Pseudo-Thomas Aquinas are presented in which the authors discussed the scheme in question and explained its importance for the practice of preaching. An analysis of a practical example—here: sermo 39 from Mikołaj of Błonie’s collection de tempore—shows the creative use of the tree scheme in the sermon by the Polish preacher (with the speculative assumption that Mikołaj of Błonie knew Jacobus’s theory of preaching). Particular attention is also paid to the circumstances of the development of the art of preaching in the late Middle Ages in Poland. Finally, the importance of the concept of the sermon as a tree for the elements of rhetoric such as dispositio/divisio/partito and memoria is emphasised. In this study, it is shown that the use of the tree scheme in presenting abstract concepts and structuring texts allowed preachers and their audiences to visualise vague and often difficult ideas, as well as to describe their relationship within the subjects of the sermons. Therefore, the use of the scheme in the Middle Ages had great significance for ars memorativa and the didactic dimensions.
The Role of a Medicalized Discourse in the Global Activities of the World Health Organization
Authors: Hoffmann Marta
Published: October 2021

This article presents selected results of a research project entitled Medicalization strategies of the World Health Organization1 in which the author analyzed and described three WHO policies characterized by a medicalizing approach. These three policies were compared with each other in terms of their conceptual (narrative) and institutional (practical) levels of medicalization and their effects. In order to better understand the role of a medicalized discourse in the global activities of the WHO, these three cases were also compared to one non-medicalizing policy. The aim of this article is twofold: firstly, to present two cases analyzed as part of the project, namely, the tobacco policy (a ‘medicalized’ one) and the ageing policy (a ‘non-medicalized’ one) and secondly, to consider the possible influence of WHO discourse on tobacco and ageing on public health policies in the European Union.
Causal Consistency for Reversible Multiparty Protocols
Authors: Mezzina Claudio Antares , Pérez Jorge A.
Published: October 2021

In programming models with a reversible semantics, computational steps can be
undone. This paper addresses the integration of reversible semantics into
process languages for communication-centric systems equipped with behavioral
types. In prior work, we introduced a monitors-as-memories approach to
seamlessly integrate reversible semantics into a process model in which
concurrency is governed by session types (a class of behavioral types),
covering binary (two-party) protocols with synchronous communication. The
applicability and expressiveness of the binary setting, however, is limited.
Here we extend our approach, and use it to define reversible semantics for an
expressive process model that accounts for multiparty (n-party) protocols,
asynchronous communication, decoupled rollbacks, and abstraction passing. As
main result, we prove that our reversible semantics for multiparty protocols is
causally-consistent. A key technical ingredient in our developments is an
alternative reversible semantics with atomic rollbacks, which is conceptually
simple and is shown to characterize decoupled rollbacks.
Education, Political Awareness, and Political Participation: A Case of Rahim Yar Khan District of Pakistan
Authors: Rafique Nayar
Published: October 2021

By acknowledging the quality of individuals as an important parameter for the socio-economic and political development of a society, this study has attempted to examine the quality of political choices made by the resident of the massively uneducated district Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab province of Pakistan. The persistence of an inefficient and fruitless political status quo of few influential political families and the existence of a massive uneducated population cast doubts over the quality of political choices made by the residents of Rahim Yar Khan. By centralizing analysis around education, this study assessed political awareness and the extent to which individuals are willing to participate in the political process. A total of 404 respondents with varying educational levels from 42 union councils, systematically selected from the whole district, were examined. The findings of this study revealed a shockingly poor state of political awareness and higher willingness of political participation for the individuals with no and lower level of education. This poor awareness then explains the persistence of the inefficient political status quo of few families without any value and hence causing chronic damage to political as well as socio-economic profile of Rahim Yar Khan.
STRANI JEZICI NA DRUŠTVENO-HUMANISTIČKIM DEPARTMANIMA FILOZOFSKOG FAKULTETA U NIŠU: RETROSPEKTIVA U ČAST JUBILEJA
Authors: Autora Grupa
Published: October 2021

Filozofski fakultet u Nišu 2021. godine obeležava 50 godina postojanja. Tim povodom, Fakultet pokrenuo je niz aktivnosti sa ciljem da se ovako značajan jubilej dostojno obeleži. Između ostalog, interni projekti departmana, koji su nekoliko godina unazad postali deo redovnih naučnih aktivnosti nastavnika Fakulteta, ove godine posvećeni su jubileju. U tom smislu su nastavnici Centra za strane jezike, kao jedinice na fakultetu koja organizuje nastavu stranih jezika na nematičnim departmanima, odlučili da deo aktivnosti u okviru svog internog projekta Centar za strane jezike: od osnivanja do danas1 posvete pripremi tematskog zbornika pod naslovom Strani jezici na društveno-humanističkim departmanima Filozofskog fakulteta u Nišu: retrospektiva u čast jubileja. Nastava stranih jezika se na Filozofskom fakultetu u Nišu izvodi od njegovog osnivanja 1971. godine. Međutim, kako se Fakultet menjao i razvijao, tako se i nastava stranih jezika prilagođavala novim okolnostima. Prvi strani jezik koji se izučavao u okviru posebne studijske grupe bio je engleski jezik na studijskoj grupi za anglistiku (1971). Studenti drugih studijskih grupa mogli su u okviru svojih studija da uče engleski, francuski, a kasnije i nemački ili ruski jezik kao strani jezik po izboru. Tokom poslednje dve decenije osnovana su i tri nova departmana stranih filologija i to prvo Departman za ruski jezik i književnost (2000), zatim Departman za francuski jezik i književnost (2012) i nedavno, Departman za nemački jezik i književnost (2018). Istorija Centra za strane jezike na Filozofskom fakultetu u Nišu počinje njegovim osnivanjem 11. 4. 2007. godine kao organizacione jedinice Fakulteta u okviru koje se ostvaruje nastava stranih jezika na nematičnim departmanima. Međutim, put od nastave engleskog i francuskog jezika, kao prva dva strana jezika na nefilološkim studijskim grupama Filozofskog fakulteta u Nišu, do osnivanja Centra za strane jezike kao samostalne jedinice u okviru koje se danas organizuje i izvodi nastava engleskog, francuskog, nemačkog, latinskog, starogrčkog, italijanskog i savremenog grčkog jezika na nematičnim departmanima, nije bio nimalo lak.
An Important Public Health Problem "Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Frequency": An Example From A Training And Research Hospital
Authors: VERANYURT Ülkü , AKALIN Betül
Published: October 2021

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infections are a significant threat to public health due to the limited availability of antibiotics and the effect on mortality. This study was conducted retrospectively to determine the prevalence of CRE in a teaching and research hospital in Istanbul. Materials and Methods: In 2016, 2017 and in the first half of 2018 Klebsiella species were evaluated retrospectively in culture samples that were sent to Microbiology Laboratory in an educational hospital. The typing of Klebsiella species were performed with MALDITOF-MS device (Biomerieux, France). Imipenem, merapenem, ertapenem susceptibilities of the strains were evaluated with VITEC2 Compact (Biomerieux, France) according to EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing). If the strains were found to be resistant, the results were confirmed by the antibiotic gradient test. Results: In our study, 257 samples; Klebsiella oxytoca 9 (3.49%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 248 (96.51%) were detected. 130 endotracheal aspirates, 57 wounds, 34 blood, 15 urine, 9 sputum, 3 catheters, 4 tissue biopsies, 2 mediastinum, 2 peritoneal fluid and 1 pleural fluid strains were identified. While none of the Klebsiella oxytoca strains were resistant to carbapenems, the percentages of Klebsiella pneumoniae resistance against imipenem, merapenem and ertapenem were found to be 23.29%, 16.94% and 29.44% respectively. Conclusion: The increasing problem of carbapenem-resistant (CR) Klebsiella pneumoniae in the last decade has been observed in our hospital for the last 2 years. CR strains often show increased resistance to other antibiotics and their treatment possibilities are limited. It increases the importance of controlling this factor. The application of effective infection control programs and the use of rational antibiotics are of great importance.

Published: October 2021

Aim: New generation anticoagulants rapidly find a wider area of use in the clinic due to the use problems of other oral anticoagulants. Anticoagulants such as Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, and Apixaban with safer treatment intervals have been accepted in clinical practice guidelines and have taken their place as preferred drugs. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively examine the effects of three new-generation anticoagulant drugs on a group of patients. Material and Methods: In this retrospectively planned study, patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (n = 522) were divided into three groups according to the drugs used for treatment (Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, and Apixaban). Routine blood values of the patients in each group were retrospectively scanned according to age, gender, time of drug initiation and presence of chronic disease. Results: According to the results obtained, it was found that the mean HCT, BUN, AST, ALT, MPV, Iron, and Ferritin were higher in patients using Apixaban than those using Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban drugs, but the age, average values of Hgb1 Hgb2, Hgb1, PLT, CrCl, Gfr and INR of the patients using Apixaban lower than those using Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban. The highest rate (22.5%) was found in the group of patients taking apixaban (n=93) when people taking the drugs were examined in terms of mortality. Conclusion: It has been observed that Rivaroxaban can be used more safely in patients with a history of acute cancer and thrombosis, patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism, and patients with high frailty, three drugs should be preferred instead of oral anticoagulants.

Determining the Physical and Chemical Properties of the Soils in Babylon and Al-Qadisiyyah for Manufacturing Clay Bricks
Authors: Khalaf Muhsen O.
Published: October 2021

The research included conducting a study of eight selected soil Stations in the Babylon and Al Qadisiyyah. The main target of the research is to study the physical, chemical, and compressive strength properties of these soils and their suitability for manufacturing ordinary clay bricks. It was found through the evaluation of the soils of the studied samples that their physical properties ranged as follows: the water content (13.52-31.88%) and the grain size analysis of the proportions of sand, silt, and clay as follows: (5-27%) (38-48%) (33-47%), respectively. The values of the Atterberg limits ranged as follows: the plastic limit ratios (13-21%), liquid limit (34-49%), plasticity index (13-28%), and the specific gravity ranged between (2.43-2.67). As for the chemical properties of the studied samples, they consist of a lot of silicates, carbonate calcium, and calcium oxide. Studied samples were characterized by water absorption 15-24%, and the efflorescence is varied from medium, low to nil. The soil samples are consequently considered as a suitable material for the manufacture of ordinary bricks in grades A and B based on Iraqi Standard specifications No. 25.
Study of Petrophysical Properties of the Yamama Formation in Siba Oilfield
Authors: Ali Hussein Y.
Published: October 2021

Evaluating a reservoir to looking for hydrocarbon bearing zones, by determining the petrophysical properties in two wells of the Yamama Formation in Siba field using Schlumberger Techlog software. Three porosity logs were used to identify lithology using MN and MID cross plots. Shale volume were calculated using gamma ray log in well Sb-6ST1 and corrected gamma ray in well Sb-5B. Sonic log was used to calculate porosity in bad hole intervals while from density log at in-gauge intervals. Moreover, water saturation was computed from the modified Simandoux equation and compared to the Archie equation. Finally, Permeability was estimated using a flow zone indicator. The results show that the Yamama Formation is found to be mainly limestone that confirmed by cuttings description and this lithology intermixed with some dolomite, in addition to gas and secondary porosity effects. Generally, the formation is considered clean due to the low shale volume in both wells with the elimination of the uranium effect in well Sb-5B. The calculated porosity was validated by core porosity in YC and YD units. Modified Simandoux gives a better estimation than the Archie equation since it takes into account the conductive of matrix in addition to the fluid conductivity. Five equations were obtained from porosity permeability relationship of core data based on five hydraulic flow units reorganized from the cross plot of reservoir quality index against normalized porosity index. The overall interpretation showed that YC and YD units are the best quality hydrocarbon units in the Yamama Formation, while YA came in the second importance and has properties better than YB. Moreover, YE and YFG are poor units due to high water saturation.

Published: October 2021

Geomorphological processes pose a risk that deserves attention and planning to avoid that, especially in the section near to east of Tuz bridge. This section of the valley facing a dramatic increase in gravel excavation and sorting of aggregates, consequence led to a change in the pattern of river branches flow from an anabranching river to a single-channel river, which led to a concentration of river discharge during floods. On 9th December 2018, Tuz Bridge was failed due to a heavy rainstorm three days preceding the failure event. The current study aims to conduct a field survey of all the human activities in the study area to assess river changes from remote sensing data the amount of runoff and river peak discharge based on rainfall data using SCS-CN method. In this study, ArcGIS, ArcGIS Earth, Google Earth, and WMS software are incorporated in the data analysis. The revealed results indicate the severe modification of valley morphology and converting the river pattern to flow during flood within a single channel with flow speed exceeded the critical velocity to induce vertical erosion of gravel and sands under the foundations of the bridge and causing the displacement and settlement of the bridge. The study recommends the local administration prevent gravel mining from the river valley at the upstream area of the bridge
A Need of Further Training for Marriage and Family Therapy Students’ on Food Addiction and Related Eating Disorders
Authors: Moore Darren , Lin Chichun , Cooper Clinton
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study was to explore Marriage and Family Therapy students’ perspectives regarding food addiction and associated eating disorders, as a clinical treatment issue. In a standard addictions course housed in a Marriage and Family Therapy program approved by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE), 20 students completed a qualitative survey where they reflected on the topic of food addiction, Binge Eating Disorder, and Bulimia Nervosa, within the context of individual, couple, and family relationships. In the study four major themes emerged, which included (1) Defining Food Addiction, (2) Perceptions of Eating Disorders, (3) Conceptualizing Systemic Treatment, and (4) Experiences in clinical training. Clinical implications, recommendations for MFT education, clinical practice, and future research are discussed. Findings suggest that while MFT students in the study were well versed in conceptualized systemic treatment, it was of a general treatment and understanding using MFT theory, and not in relation to or specifically concerning food addictions and their connection or distinction from Binge Eating Disorder and/or other eating disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, potentially impacting the level of skillfully and appropriately working with clients.
Applying Heidegger to Case Study Research in the Medical and Social Sciences
Authors: Whitehead Patrick
Published: October 2021

In this article, I introduce an approach to the case-study method which is based on the work of German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976). Heidegger’s insights have been applied by philosophers and scholars to the social and health sciences, and this application has increased noticeably over the last decade. This article has been written so that non philosophers may benefit from Heidegger’s insights and apply them to their own research and practice. I begin with a description and overview of the shift in perspective that Heidegger has advocated, and how this shift has turned upside down the fields to which it has been applied using formal methods (e.g., object-oriented ontology; Harman, 2018). These fields, however, have primarily been nonhuman, and reveal the hidden depths of ordinary objects. When considering humans, the researcher must search the hidden depths of existence, which includes five interrelated components: embodiment, space, time, relatedness, and mood. Clear and illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate each of these existentials, with one key example drawn on throughout the article.

The author presents a comparative legal analysis of the segments of construction law in Croatian and Slovenian law, with the aim of pointing out the differences that exist between them. Considering that this is a relatively new legal institute, which was somewhat earlier standardized in Slovenian law in relation to Croatian law, in the introductory exposition, a brief review was made of the occurrence of the construction law and the reasons for earlier non-regulation. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the stipulations of Act on ownership and Property Code of the Republic of Slovenia. This part refers to the conceptual definition of the construction law, in order to classify it in a certain broader unit, to which it belongs - genus proximum - searching for the closest relative, emphasizing the important characteristics that make it specific in relation to other property rights. In the third part of the paper, the author analyses the stipulations related to the subject of building rights, with reference to the dilemmas that exist in that sense, both in Croatian and Slovenian jurisprudence, as well as in the legal science of some other countries. The fourth part of the paper is dedicated to the stipulations that regulate the acquisition and duration of construction rights. Considering that derivative acquisition, among other things, characterizes the existence of bases and ways of acquisition, first possible bases of acquisition are presented, and then entry in appropriate public books as a way of acquiring this right and its duration. The concluding part of the paper summarizes the results of the analysis and evaluates the considered legal solutions, with the presentation of reasoned objections to the existing regulations, all with the aim of eventual amendment of the right to build in the legal systems in question.

Every employee in the of Montenegro enjoys certain employment rights. Among others, this includes the rights to earnings, safety at work, health care, personal integrity protection, dignity of personality, rights due to temporary illnesses due to illness, loss of working ability, age and material compensation due to temporary hindrance. In this regard, special rights are enjoyed by employed women during pregnancy and childbirth, then minors who are employed and persons with disabilities. Also, employees in the of Montenegro are entitled to contributions for compulsory social security, which provide funds for the financing of compulsory social insurance, which includes pension and disability insurance, health insurance and insurance in the case of temporary unemployment. Unfortunately, practice proves that these workers' rights are often ignored. Therefore, the notion of work on the black, which is actually a form of exploitation of labor, is created, works with a compensation below the envisaged minimum, without contribution for compulsory social security. From that, problems arise, which will be dealt with separately in this paper, relating to the safety of workers in black and increasingly often unfortunate cases, with a mortal epilogue for working people.
POLITIČKA KONTROLA UPRAVE
Authors: Milić Stefan
Published: October 2021

The administration occupies an extremely important place in the everyday life of citizens. The essential elements of administration are organization, competence, control and responsibility. Given that the contact of citizens with the work of the administration is inevitable and that this work is based on rules that must apply, the question arises who can control compliance with and implementation of these rules. There are two types of administrative control: legal and political. This second form of control, political control, is the topic of this paper. It analyzes which entities can control the expediency of the work of administrative bodies and the compliance of that work with the public interest. The paper presents the instruments of control used by active subjects when assessing expediency. These instruments are: parliamentary question, interpellation, vote of no confidence in the Government or an individual member of the Government, formation of inquiry committees and commissions. These instruments are used in order to control the administration by the highest representative body, ie the parliament. There will also be talks about the possibility of controlling the work of the administration by public opinion and political parties.

Published: October 2021

El tuberculoma intramedular espinal constituye una forma poco frecuente de tuberculosis extrapulmonar. En la mayoría de los casos el diagnóstico se realiza por biopsia de la lesión y estudio histopatológico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 28 años, con antecedentes de malnutrición y consumo de estupefacientes que presentó paraparesia progresiva con compromiso de esfínteres secundario a un tuberculoma intramedular dorsal. Al inicio se sospechó de una lesión tumoral, sin embargo, hallazgos de tuberculosis pulmonar, biopsia de ganglios linfáticos y un estudio de derivado proteico de tuberculina (PPD) positivo, confirmaron el diagnóstico clínico de tuberculoma espinal.

Published: October 2021

O presente artigo apresenta uma pesquisa realizada a respeito dos conhecimentos de estudantes da disciplina de “Direitos Humanos, Democracia e Inclusão Social”, do curso de Pedagogia sobre os Direitos Humanos, e os impactos desse (re)conhecimento na Educação. Como objetivo geral, pretende-se analisar os impactos na concepção de Direitos Humanos dos(as) alunos(as) que vivenciaram a disciplina “Direitos Humanos, Democracia e Inclusão Social”. Como objetivos específicos, buscamos: apresentar as bases teóricas dos Direitos Humanos na contemporaneidade; refletir sobre o grau de conhecimento prévio dos participantes da pesquisa sobre Direitos Humanos; e identificar quais as concepções de Direitos Humanos dos(as) alunos(as) após vivenciarem a disciplina “Direitos Humanos, Democracia e Inclusão Social”. Através da coleta de dados por meio de um questionário virtual, realizamos um estudo de caso que se caracteriza como pesquisa mista, de cunho bibliográfico e caráter exploratório, a qual nos permitiu compreender a importância de conhecer e defender uma Educação em/para os Direitos Humanos, não apenas no Ensino Superior, mas em outras etapas que o antecedem. Com as análises realizadas neste artigo, reforçamos o nosso entendimento de que educar em/para os Direitos Humanos é um ato político, o que o torna indispensável em uma sociedade que se caracteriza como democrática.
Da interpretação à compreensão

Published: October 2021

O presente artigo contempla a temática da compreensão e da interpretação, sob novos olhares contemporâneos. O trabalho trata da relação entre os componentes internos e os componentes externos ao enunciado, consoante princípios de teorias da enunciação. Em uma parte inicial, apresenta-se a dinâmica interacional do ato de comunicação, entre sujeitos sociais e discursivos, regido por bases contratuais; depois, discute-se a função dos saberes de conhecimento e dos saberes de crença como fonte para a criação dos imaginários sociais e discursivos. Com base na noção de que compreender é uma operação mais globalizante e que interpretar consiste em um conjunto de operações inferenciais, faz-se uma abordagem mais atual do conceito de inferência, a partir dos dois tipos propostos por Charaudeau (2019): inferência centrípeta interna ou estrutural e inferência centrífuga externa, ou situacional e interdiscursiva. Ao final, propõe-se uma aplicação das noções teóricas apresentadas, por meio de uma análise dos variados tipos de inferência presentes em um corpus de mídia digital.
organização tópica no gênero artigo de opinião
Authors: Hanisch Cleide Vilanova
Published: October 2021

Inserido no quadro teórico-metodológico da Gramática Textual-Interativa (JUBRAN, 2015), este artigo trata do reconhecimento de uma unidade da língua fundamentalmente sistemática no âmbito da organização do texto. Para tal, investiga a Organização Tópica em artigos de opinião publicados em jornais, com o objetivo de avaliar se, nesse gênero, a organização intertópica e a organização intratópica, caracterizam-se como um processo regular, ou se é um processo fundamentalmente inconstante. A metodologia adotada segue o método da análise tópica, que presume a análise textual com base na categoria do tópico discursivo e demonstra que tanto no domínio da organização intertópica quanto no contexto da organização intratópica, os artigos de opinião, particularizam-se pela presença de traços altamente regulares passíveis de serem descritos em termos de organização tópica. Esses traços de regularidades permitem sustentar que o texto é fundado em propriedades constitutivas próprias.
relações retóricas sinalizadas pelo marcador discursivo mas em estratégias de construção do texto falado
Authors: Pecuch Gabriele , Antonio Juliano Desiderato
Published: October 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o funcionamento do marcador discursivo (MD) mas como marca formal de relações de coerência, visando a contribuir para os estudos acerca da construção do texto falado. Para isso, utilizamos um corpus constituído por dez entrevistas orais disponíveis no banco de dados do Grupo de Pesquisas Funcionalistas do Norte/Noroeste do Paraná (Funcpar). Em nossas análises, buscamos como aporte teórico a Teoria da Estrutura Retórica (Rhetorical Structure Theory – RST) (MANN; THOMPSON, 1988; MANN; MATTHIESSEN; THOMPSON, 1989), uma teoria descritiva funcionalista que se dedica ao estudo das relações de coerência estabelecidas entre as partes de um texto. As relações estudadas pela RST partem do nível discursivo e, apesar de não exigirem a presença de marcas formais para serem estabelecidas, podem ser sinalizadas por elementos como o mas. Após a tabulação dos dados, constatamos que o mas inicia inserções parentéticas, reintroduz tópicos, marca o início de paráfrases e de perguntas retóricas, além de atuar na dinâmica de turnos (FÁVERO; ANDRADE; AQUINO, 2006; JUBRAN, 2006). Assim, o MD sinaliza as relações retóricas parentética, same-unit, reafirmação multinuclear e elaboração.
