Armia Krajowa w niemieckim serialu – ćwiczenie z teorii i interpretacji
Authors: Klejsa Konrad
Published: July 2021

Artykuł dotyczy sposobu reprezentacji II wojny światowej w niemieckim miniserialu Nasze matki, nasi ojcowie. Autor skupia się na jednym wątku, związanym z postacią niemieckiego Żyda, który trafia do oddziału Armii Krajowej. Kanwą rozważań jest pozew sądowy wystosowany przez kombatanta AK oraz Światowy Związek Armii Krajowej przeciw producentom serialu. Zasadniczym przedmiotem analizy są dwa główne, obszerne pisma sądowe (pozew oraz odpowiedź nań). Odnoszą się one zarówno do zagadnień ogólnych – dotyczących klasyfikacji filmów historycznych, jak i szczegółowych – pięciu konkretnych scen z filmu. Na tej podstawie autor buduje wywód w pierwszej części poszerzający spektrum refleksji teoretycznej, w drugiej zaś – koncentrujący się na interpretacji kontrowersyjnych scen z serialu. Analiza prowadzi do wniosku, że mnogość zastosowanych w serialu elementów jest szczególnie istotna dla rozpatrzenia zastrzeżeń wnoszonych przez stronę skarżącą.
Partii portret nieoczywisty: filmowe opowieści o Lechosławie Goździku, Leonardzie Borkowiczu i Toni Lechtman
Authors: Zwierzchowski Piotr
Published: July 2021

Filmowe reprezentacje PZPR są najczęściej wpisane w dychotomiczny świat wartości, z jednoznacznie przypisanymi ocenami. W niniejszym artykule skupiam się na filmach zawierających bardziej skomplikowane rozważania na temat losów członków partii, dostrzegających jednostkowe biografie, otwartych na różne interpretacje przeszłości, potrafiących rozgraniczyć ocenę systemu i działań poszczególnych osób. Analizując filmowe portrety Lechosława Goździka, Leonarda Borkowicza i Toni Lechtman: Metrykę Goździka (2002) Joanny Tryniszewskiej-Obłoj i Joanny Pieciukiewicz, Tonię i jej dzieci (2011) Marcela Łozińskiego i Bezsenność (2012) Andrzeja Titkowa, jak również 45–89 (1990) Łozińskiego, staram się zrekonstruować zarówno zawarty w nich obraz bohaterów, jak i formę filmowej wypowiedzi. Twórcy odpowiadają na pytania o wydarzenia i postawy, nie dążą wszakże do precyzji akademickiej historii. Biorą pod uwagę okoliczności historyczne i polityczne, koncentrują się jednak na indywidualnym doświadczeniu i pamięci. Filmy te nie stanowią rehabilitacji systemu komunistycznego ani Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej, pozwalają jednak dostrzec przykłady ich wewnętrznej złożoności, jak również pewne sposoby opowiadania o nich.
W sprawie współczesnego edytorstwa staropolskich metryk chrztów. Uwagi do artykułu Tomisława Giergiela, Staropolska Liber baptisatorum jako edycja (stan badań, metody, postulaty), ,,Roczniki Humanistyczne” 2020, t. 68, z. 2, s. 193–215
Authors: Jop Robert
Published: July 2021

Niniejszy artykuł zawiera uwagi polemiczne do analizy stanu współczesnego edytorstwa staropolskich metryk chrztów, przedstawionej przez Tomisława Giergiela. Autor odnosi się w swoich rozważaniach głównie do spostrzeżeń dotyczących edycji naukowych, pomijając wydawnictwa, w których podano treść metryk w urozmaiconej, popularyzatorskiej formie. Wynika to z przyjętej przez T. Giergiela definicji edycji i jej płynnego potraktowania. Polemika dotyczy głównych wątków recenzowanego artykułu. Autor niniejszych rozważań przedstawia ponadto własne postulaty badawcze warte naukowego omówienia, bazując na osobistych doświadczeniach związanych z przygotowaniem metryk parafialnych do druku. Artykuł T. Giergiela został oceniony jako istotny dla rozwoju wiedzy o współczesnym edytorstwie metryk kościelnych i dobry punkt wyjścia do dalszego pogłębiania refleksji w sprawie metod ich wydawania.
Kontrola operacyjna w systemie informatycznym (postulaty de lege ferenda)
Authors: Kudła Jacek , Staszak Alfred
Published: July 2021

The article presents a proposal for changes in the regulations concerning broadly understood wiretapping. The dynamics of the development of crime using new technologies, in particular cybercrime, poses increasing challenges to the judiciary, law enforcement authorities and special services, which can only be met by introducing new legal solutions to enable the latest technological developments to be applied. At the same time, judicial case law imposes an obligation on the legislator to seek and create new legal solutions that would be able to reconcile the interests and rights of an individual with the common good. The question, therefore, arises whether a further revision of the rules is necessary in this regard, or whether a completely new approach is needed to look at the way of legal regulations concerning issues related to procedural and operational wiretapping. The article attempts to present this issue, taking into account, in particular, the changes in surveillance regulations due to the continuous and progressive development of the 5G network and the planning of the gradual implementation of the 6G network. In the authors’ opinion, the presented constructive comments de lege ferenda should be helpful in establishing a new law on operational control. The law that would comply with constitutionally guaranteed standards on civil rights while equipping the state and its law enforcement and special services with effective tools to combat new forms and manifestations of crime. The authors intend to present the issue of wiretapping – in the broad sense, against the background of modern technologies and new legal solutions, while respecting the principles of the Polish criminal trial and the expectations of practice in combating the most serious crimes effectively.
Taxation of Instagram Influencers
Authors: Radvan Michal
Published: July 2021

This scientific article discusses issues related to the taxation of Instagram influencers. Its main objective is to define how the influencers’ incomes should be taxed. To achieve this primary purpose, the partial objective is defined to give the list of (legal) cooperation contracts between the marketers and influencers. The hypothesis that there is no need to adopt new specific tax law norms to tax influencers’ incomes properly, at least in developed countries, was confirmed. All jurisdictions are taxing influencers’ incomes. It is always necessary to focus on the content of the relationship generating influencer’s income, as the principle of priority of content over form must be used. The tax liability is influenced only by the tax base. The tax rate and other structural components of the tax remain the same for different types of incomes. Generally, it is always better for the influencer to have a trading license (to be a businessman) than tax his/her incomes as incomes from copyright. Incomes from dependent activities based on labour law contract or occasional incomes are not probable for a typical influencer, and still, the taxation in this way is not really favourable. The novelty of the presented research lies in the fact that no scientific articles deal with the covered issues published so far. The author believes that the article has a cognitive value for both science and practice.
Prawo jako opowieść. Zagadnienie mitu w interpretacji prawa
Authors: Ceglarska Anna
Published: July 2021

The fact that various myths influence the shape of law and the mythologization of some of its aspects is indisputable. In most cases, this process of “mythologization” is perceived pejoratively, leading to the establishment of groundless, irrational ideas and at the same time the rejection of “science” in favor of “fiction”. This article aims to propose a different approach to both the concept of myth and the mythologization of law, by referring to the classical, ancient understanding of the concept of mythos as a fable, story. Ancient Greek myth performed a function similar to the law, establishing some basic rules in society. Stressing its “narrative” side indicates that what matters is not so much a description of reality, but a process that emphasizes the relational nature of the community. Thus, relating the myth, just like reading the norm of law, is an interpretation of the event in the light of applicable principles and systems of values, while being also a continuous process of shaping social awareness. Interpreting the law as a story means that those who create and use it lose the luxury of simply remaining the “mouth that pronounces the words of the law” as Montesquieu stated, since they are supposed to care not only for its implementation, but also for the quality and conviction of citizens as to its validity. The proposed form of reading the law as a myth-fable, political myth therefore is a search for a plot, understood as a possibility to act, to respond to the needs and problems of the changing world as well as the development of “the political” politics and education of citizens.
Reus vel suspectus? O pozycji oskarżonego i podejrzanego w rzymskim procesie karnym
Authors: Chmiel Andrzej
Published: July 2021

This article aims to answer the question whether such a participant who can be described as the suspect was known in the Roman criminal procedure. The analysed procedure, especially of bringing a charge in the proceedings before quaestiones, as well as the examples of criminal cases settled within the framework of cognitio, quoted in this paper, confirm that the Romans distinguished between the accused and the suspect, even though they did not develop separate terms and definitions to identify these two different procedural roles. An important moment that distinguished the status of the accused person in the Roman criminal procedure was entering his name in the register of the accused (inscriptio inter reos), which took place when the indictment was brought against him. From then on, the accused became reus, that is a rightful party to the proceedings who was able to use his procedural rights fully.

Authors: POLAT Atila Aytekin , AKKUŞ Sibel
Published: July 2021

The present investigation was conducted to determine the effect of different quince clone rootstocks on phenological characteristics, flowering and fruit set ratios of Hafif Çukurgöbek (HCG) loquat variety. ‘HCG’ variety budded on Quince-A, Quince-C and BA-29 rootstocks were planted at 1.0 m × 0.5 m inter and intra-row spacing, respectively, was used for the study. The experiment was arranged as a completely randomized design with 5 replications and 6 plants were used in each replicate. The effects of the quince rootstocks on phenological observations such as the flowering periods and the inflorescence characteristics were recorded. The HÇG cultivar which are grafted on all three rootstocks completed the flowering between 11 December and 31 January. The first flowering and fruit set were recorded at the earliest in BA-29, and the latest in Quince-C. Fruit ripening was occurred at the earliest in BA-29 rootstock (May 11), followed by Quince-C (May 18) and Quince-A (May 19). The effect of rootstocks on the number of flower buds and flowers in the cluster, and the number of final fruit set were found significant. In terms of all three features, higher values were obtained in Quince-C rootstock. Quince-A rootstock yielded the lowest value in the ratio of fruit harvested in both years, Quince-C and BA-29 gave close values to each other. As a result, BA-29 and Quince C rootstocks performed better than Quince-A rootstock.

With the increasing stress from work and study that people face today, easy-to-access entertainment to release chronic stress and increase happiness would arouse more popularity. As a traditional entertainment industry, Movie is easy to access by going to the cinema or watching online, which has become an increasingly globalized business. The present research was on how the entertaining effects of movies are associated with psychological well-being. It provides a study on three film types, comedies, tearjerkers, and thrilling movies. Comic movies are usually welcome, which bring people happiness by funny plots. Moreover, many scientific experiments made before verified that people will unconsciously mimic the facial expressions of characters in comedies, which turns out to affect the experience of the same emotion of happiness through the integration between the body and brain. Tearjerkers may bring people tears. However, an experiment made by Gracˇanin, Vingerhoets, Kardum, Šantek,& Šimic´ (2015), provided evidence that after the initial deterioration of mood following crying, it takes some time for the mood, not just to recover, but also to become even less negative than before the emotional event. Per Sapolsky, R.M, scary and thrilling movies generate moderate glucocorticoid elevation, which turns out to trigger the release of dopamine from pleasure pathways and gain a sense of anticipatory pleasure. Besides the above mentioned, there are also general benefits of movies, such as social connections, a distraction from worries, and increased flow. All of those make movies good activities to reduce chronic stress and increase happiness.

Profit and Risk for Property Business Using Sharia and Conventional System: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Muchlis Zaini , Fathurrahman Ayif
Published: July 2021

Sharia and conventional business management system are often become a parameter in gaining profit and managing the risk faced by the entrepreneurs. This research aims to determine the comparison of profit and risk obtained by the property entrepreneurs in conducting their business when they use conventional or sharia system. This research is qualitative descriptive analysis. The variables that would be investigated are the profit obtained by the property business owner and the risks in conducting this business when the business owner uses sharia and conventional system in the capital investment or the buying and selling process of a certain property unit. The data was collected through an interview and documents. The article shows that conventional and sharia are a concept or system that generally used by the entrepreneurs in conducting their business to obtain the profit and face the risks. Both of the systems have advantages and disadvantages. This article further argues that sharia system gives a higher profit and fewer risks rather than the conventional system. It is because in the sharia system, entrepreneurs or costumers are not concerned about the burden of the interest and fines of the debt from a financing institution. Although there are risks considered such as bad credit and longtime cash flow, the profit obtained through the sharia system is higher than the conventional one.
Between Political Legitimacy and Social Fabric of Society: Imamite-Shiite Interpretation of Qur’anic Verse 16: 90
Authors: Widiyanto Asfa
Published: July 2021

This paper investigates the dialectics between “political legitimacy” and “social fabric of society”, as it develops in the Imamite-Shiite Qur’anic commentaries on Qur’anic verse 16: 90. It reveals the transformation and development of Imamite-Shiite exegesis pertaining to Q. 16: 90, ranging from classical to modern. It takes into a closer look into seven Qur’anic commentaries which may serve as examples of different typologies within Imamite-Shiite exegetical tradition. It argues that the Imamite-Shiite interpretation on this verse moves between these two poles (political legitimacy and social fabric of society) most notably due to the religious and political circumstances of the exegetes. From these Quranic commentaries, one may also notice the division and ecumenism between Sunnism and Shiism. This paper underlines a colourful nuance of Shiite exegesis and denies the simplified belief that Shiite exegesis is sectarian.
From Mustahik to Muzakki: A Study on The Utilization of Zakat Funds For The Creation and Development of Productives Small Businesses in Lazismu Solo
Authors: Zulkarnain Zulkarnain , Farkhani Farkhani
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research is to see the utilization of zakat funds collected and managed by Lazismu Solo, whether it succeeds in converting mustahik into muzaki or obtaining better than expected results. This field research employs qualitative analysis methods, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and field observations. This result shows that the ZIS (Zakat, Infaq, and Alms) fund utilization program to convert mustahik into muzakki seen from the side of program implementation’s effectiveness and efficiency could be considered successful even though it has not been ideal yet in converting mustahik into muzaki. This success has only led to the mustahik becoming an independent Muslim and regardless of their initial status as a mustahik. In the future, this program must continue to be improved until it actually transforms mustahik into muzakki to become one of the ways to eradicate poverty.

Authors: Gómez Reino Juan Luis , Hinojosa Sergio , Mansilla Patricio , Muñoz Roberto , Reyes-Tagle Gerardo
Published: July 2021

A nivel internacional, pocos países han iniciado formalmente programas de reciclaje de activos de infraestructura pública, es decir, la monetización de activos de infraestructura pública existentes a través del sector privado y la reinversión en nueva infraestructura de los recursos financieros así obtenidos. Un reciente artículo de Muñoz et al. (2021) muestra teóricamente, a través de un modelo de generaciones traslapadas, que el reciclaje de activos puede generar crecimiento económico y abrir espacio fiscal. Con el objetivo de complementar la modelización teórica del reciclaje de activos públicos, este trabajo analiza algunas de las más relevantes experiencias internacionales en reciclaje. Así, se procura sistematizar lecciones aprendidas en el diseño de los procesos, la forma en la que se materializa el reciclaje, la tipología de los proyectos, las fuentes y los usos del reciclaje, la arquitectura institucional de los programas y sus impactos en la economía y la estabilidad fiscal. A tal efecto, se examinan los casos de Australia, México y Chile como posibles modelos de referencia para países que estudien esta iniciativa de política pública con potenciales beneficios fiscales y de crecimiento.

Published: July 2021

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of microRNA-373-3p (miR-373-3p) in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Methods: Human and mouse cervical cancer cell lines were transfected with miR-373-3p mimic and inhibitor. Cell proliferation and viability were evaluated with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, respectively. The AKT1-targeting role of miR-373-3p was analyzed by qPCR and Western blot. Finally, a mouse xenograft cervical tumor model was adopted to study the in vivo effect of miR-373-3p on tumor growth and the expression of AKT1. Results: Over-expression of miR-373-3p significantly reduced the proliferation of cervical carcinoma cell line in vitro. In addition, miR-373-3p overexpression also inhibited cervical cancer growth in tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, we found that AKT1 gene can be targeted by miR-373-3p. MiR-373-3p mimic decreased the mRNA and protein expression of AKT1, while the miR-373-3p inhibitor increased the level of AKT1 in cervical cancer cells. AKT1 overexpression rescued the proliferation of cervical cancer cells transfected with miR-373-3p. Conclusion: MiR-373-3p can serve as a novel anti-tumor microRNA in cervical cancer by targeting AKT1.
Directions for the Reconstruction of the Tax System in Poland – a Growth‑Enhancing Proposal
Authors: Karnowski Jakub , Rzońca Andrzej
Published: July 2021

The paper aims to present directions for the growth‑enhancing reconstruction of the tax system in Poland. It presents a diagnosis of the main strengths and weaknesses of that system. Based on this diagnosis and a review of the literature, the authors propose a package of recommendations whose introduction would be conducive to economic growth. The recommendations include: shifting the burden of taxation from income, in particular low labour income, to consumption; exempting low earners from a part of social security contributions; the introduction of the possibility for local governments to increase the PIT-free allowance above the centrally set base amount; the unification of the basis for the PIT, National Health Fund and Social Insurance Institution contributions; the elimination of differences in contributions for different types of contracts on the basis of which work is performed; the extension of one‑off amortisation to all machine investments; and the elimination of sectoral taxes.
The Country Ceiling and Sovereign Rating Relationship Exemplified by the Case of Poland
Authors: Niedziółka Paweł
Published: July 2021

The aim of the article is to answer the question whether the ratings of entities registered in Poland are limited by the sovereign rating of the country. The author theorises that the sovereign rating of Poland does not constitute the upper limit for ratings granted by the Big Three (Fitch Ratings, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s) to Polish financial and non‑financial entities. The databases of three leading rating agencies were queried, selecting all (52) long‑term foreign ratings assigned to entities registered in Poland. The analysis indicates that currently no confirmation can be found of the use of the country ceiling principle, according to which the rating of any entity registered in a given country cannot be higher than its sovereign rating, by rating agencies (7.7% of rated entities in Poland is given higher rating than the sovereign one). This is at the same time a higher percentage than the average for all Big Three ratings, amounting to approx. 3%. The country ceiling is an upper, potential sovereign rating bound, resulting from the T&C risk. In the case of entities registered in Poland, however, their rating is a maximum of one notch higher than the sovereign rating, which in turn is in line with the policy that Standard & Poor’s officially announced as the only agency among the Big Three (the rating of an entity registered in a given jurisdiction can be up to four notches higher than the sovereign rating). The analysis of ratings assigned to Polish entities also indicates that a rating above the sovereign rating awarded by a given credit rating agency does not translate into similar actions of other agencies. This paper analyses the relationships between the concepts of country risk, T&C risk and sovereign risk. Another original contribution is establishing how the country ceiling principle used by rating agencies works in practice and verifying the scope of application of this principle in the Polish economic reality.

Published: July 2021

Being economically important for natural fiber, seed cotton and protein, cotton demand is increasing rapidly. With the ever-growing population, there is an ultimate need to increase the cotton production to meet this demand of man and livestock. Different Flavonoids, which are compounds that have antioxidant properties, serve an essential role in sustaining plant function and health. Flavonoids operate largely as photo protectors and phytoalexins, influencing the phytohormone auxin transport that affects the plant structure. Cotton production is also linked to the flavonoids as they play a great role in plant protection and vigor. Flavonoids play a critical role in response to abiotic stress. Leaf reddening in cotton and fungal infection resistance is attributed the flavonoids. Flavonoids also take part in the development of fiber and its color, maintenance of plant health and it’s defensive mechanism. With an increasing interest in the biological functions of flavonoids as well as advancements in isolation and classification techniques over the last two decades, the numerous flavonoids known in the cotton plant have risen dramatically. The capacity to regulate flavonoid expression in plants offers a chance to change defense mechanisms and growth. Genetic engineering techniques offer different methods that improves certain characteristics of cotton to further boost its output. This study aims to summarize existing findings on the prevalence and dispersal of flavonoids in cotton as well as to examine the historical research on flavonoids in cotton as well as potential paths for future research on this plant species. This review enlists the flavonoid profile studied by many scientists in the past and their distribution in cotton plant which consist of 52 flavonoids divided into 7 groups.

In limnological studies Phytoplanktons are the primary considerations.Algae which are freely percolated with mean of water current are considered as phytoplanktons.All algae are not considered as phytoplanktons like Chara, Nitella these are the macroscopic Alga which grows profoundly in any fresh water bodies carrying suaitable ecophysiological environment to them. Algae are the photosynthetic producers which accounts approx. one third of total photosynthetic activity on this planet. Our study deals with a freshwater lake ecosystem. In limnology of a lake we found dominance of algal genera belongs to Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae Class. However, Euglenophyceae class may present but its population depend upon trophic status of Lake. Present paper deals with periodical analysis of few unicellular phytoplanktons and one filamentous genera Prasiola which is a new citation to Bikaner Phycology. Gajner lake was selected for our study which located around 33 kms away from Bikaner toward west side. Study was carried out for one year January 2017 to December 2017.We collected samples from 3 sites of Gajner lake twice in a month. Now Gajner Lake is the part of wildlife sanctuary. A historical tourist site Gajner palace also located along with lake. So, it is less polluted. Due to trophic level of lake Chlorophycean alga profoundly present in the lake. Although a portion of Lake is under village panchayat which is openly accessed by the local people of Gajner village. The open access site of lake has totally different phytoplanktonic density.

The present Investigation was carried out to study the variability, heritability and genetic advance in desi cotton. The material was evaluated in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications during kharif 2019. In this experiment analysis of variance indicated that significant variation present among the accessions of the desi cotton for all the traits under study. The highest genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were exhibited by the number of bolls per plant. High heritability with high genetic advance was observed in number of bolls per plant, the number of monopodia per plant, lint index, seed cotton yield per plant and number of sympodia per plant. The combination of the high heritability and high genetic advance provide the clear image of the trait in the selection process.

The mathematical description of N mineralization in soils like parabolic model, exponential model, hyperbolic model, zero order models etc, is a possible 3 approach to characterize and quantify the organic matters pool and mineralization constant rate. The single exponential model most widely used for soil N mineralization, although other types have also been tested. Several kinetic models are often used to estimate the kinetic of N mineralization, thus a model is selected based on the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest standard error (Wijanarko & Purwanto, 2016). The N mineralization capacity through long term incubation procedures. From their studies they proposed an asymptotic model of time course of N mineralization, making it possible to calculate the N mineralization potential of the soils (Stanford & Smith, 1972). Kinetics parameters in mineralization study can be potentially used to access the mineralization-immobilization process in soils under varying environmental and management conditions. Nitrogen-use efficiency can be enhanced through the understanding of N-mineralization potential of different organic source.

Authors: Bartlett Alexandra
Published: July 2021

PICO question

In calves undergoing castration without local or general anaesthesia, do non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) licensed for use in cattle in the UK administered either before, during or after the procedure reduce signs of postoperative pain?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Treatment

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Twenty studies were critically appraised. All were controlled trials, of which 17 were randomised. Only NSAIDs licensed for use in cattle in the UK were included in the search strategy and in appraised papers

Strength of evidence

Moderate

Outcomes reported

Five studies reported an improvement in both physiological and behavioural indicators of postcastration pain following NSAID administration and a further eight reported improvements in either physiological or behavioural parameters. Seven studies found no improvements in pain indicators

Conclusion

There is moderate evidence to suggest that NSAID administration before, during or after castration is able to reduce the signs of postoperative pain in calves castrated without anaesthesia. The degree to which pain is reduced is variable and depends upon factors including but not limited to castration method, specific NSAID given, dosage, administration and calf age

Published: July 2021

La enseñanza del emprendimiento es de vital importancia para el desarrollo socioeconómico de las naciones, especialmente por su incidencia en la intención de emprender del alumnado. El presente estudio analiza los factores impulsores de la intención emprendedora en estudiantes universitarios que cursan asignaturas de emprendimiento. A través de un modelo de regresión logística binaria aplicado a 85 estudiantes de una universidad pública de Chile se develó que la actitud favorable hacia la enseñanza del emprendimiento y la autoconfianza del discente inciden de manera positiva y significativa en la intención de emprender. También se determinó que la carrera elegida y la experiencia laboral constituyen predictores relevantes. Se concluye que la intención emprendedora del estudiante aumenta cuando percibe que la enseñanza del emprendimiento es útil para su formación como emprendedor y cuando tiene el convencimiento íntimo de que es capaz de emprender. Por lo demás, existe mayor probabilidad de que el estudiante emprenda si posee experiencia laboral y cursa una carrera de perfil emprendedor. Se espera que los resultados aporten a una comprensión más profunda sobre los factores que llevan a los alumnos universitarios a emprender, evidenciándose así la importancia de desarrollar programas de estudio que potencien la confianza del estudiantado y una actitud favorable hacia la enseñanza del emprendimiento.
Therapists' Experiences of Working With Iranian-Immigrant Intimate Partner Violence Clients in the United States
Authors: Nikparvar Fatemeh , Stith Sandra M.
Published: July 2021

Mental health practitioners have a responsibility to provide effective interventions to all their clients, accounting for each client's cultural context and values relevant to their well-being. In this study, eight therapists who have worked with Iranian-immigrant intimate partner violence (IPV) clients were interviewed to answer two questions: (a) What have therapists who work in the United States learned about challenges of working with Iranian IPV clients living in the United States? and (b) What suggestions do these thera-pists have for improving services to Iranian IPV clients living in the United States? In response to this question, six main themes were found: (a) Clients' lack of knowledge, (b) cultural acceptance that men are not accountable for their behaviors/gender norms in patriarchal culture, (c) women's sense of disempowerment (victim's role), (d) clients do not disclose IPV due to a sense of obligation, (e) clients' fear of consequences of disclosing, and (f) clients' difficulty trusting therapists and the mental health field. In response to the second question, that is, what suggestions do these therapists have for improving the services to Iranian IPV clients living in the United States? three main themes emerged: (a) clients need for knowledge and psychoeducation, (b) the services for Iranian-immigrant clients are not culturally appropriate, (c) therapists need to have a broad perspective of clients. Results add to the understanding of IPV grounded in the Iranian immigrant culture and ultimately contribute to a culturally based conceptualization of IPV among Iranian immigrants to sensitize therapists regarding culturally appropriate interventions that reflect the concerns of the Iranian living in the United States.
