Regional Targeting of Bladder and Urethra Afferents in the Lumbosacral Spinal Cord of Male and Female Rats: A Multiscale Analysis
Authors: Fuller-Jackson J. P. , Osborne P. B. , Keast J. R.
Published: November 2021

Sensorimotor circuits of the lumbosacral spinal cord are required for lower urinary tract (LUT) regulation as well as being engaged in pelvic pain states. To date, no molecular markers have been identified to enable specific visualization of LUT afferents, which are embedded within spinal cord segments that also subserve somatic functions. Moreover, previous studies have not fully investigated the patterning within or across spinal segments, compared afferent innervation of the bladder and urethra, or explored possible structural sex differences in these pathways. We have addressed these questions in adult Sprague Dawley rats, using intramural microinjection of the tract tracer, B subunit of cholera toxin (CTB). Afferent distribution was analyzed within individual sections and 3D reconstructions from sections across four spinal cord segments (L5-S2), and in cleared intact spinal cord viewed with light sheet microscopy. Simultaneous mapping of preganglionic neurons showed their location throughout S1 but restricted to the caudal half of L6. Afferents from both LUT regions extended from L5 to S2, even where preganglionic motor pathways were absent. In L6 and S1, most afferents were associated with the sacral preganglionic nucleus (SPN) and sacral dorsal commissural nucleus (SDCom), with very few in the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn. Spinal innervation patterns by bladder and urethra afferents were remarkably similar, likewise the patterning in male and female rats. In conclusion, microscale to macroscale mapping has identified distinct features of LUT afferent projections to the lumbosacral cord and provided a new anatomic approach for future studies on plasticity, injury responses, and modeling of these pathways.
Teaching and Researching the History of Sexual Politics at San Francisco State, 1969–1970
Authors: Stein Marc
Published: November 2021

This essay summarizes the methods and results of a collaborative student-faculty research project on the history of sexual politics at San Francisco State University. The collaborators collected and analyzed 160 mainstream, alternative, student, and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans) media stories. After describing the project parameters and process, the essay discusses six themes: (1) LGBT history; (2) the Third World Liberation Front strike; (3) feminist sexual politics; (4) the history of heterosexuality; (5) sex businesses, commerce, and entrepreneurship; and (6) sexual arts and culture. The conclusion discusses project ethics and collaborative authorship. The essay’s most significant contributions are pedagogical, providing a model for history teachers interested in working with their students on research skills, digital methodologies, and collaborative projects. The essay also makes original contributions to historical scholarship, most notably in relation to the Third World Liberation Front strike. More generally, the essay provides examples of the growing visibility of LGBT activism, the intersectional character of race, gender, and sexual politics, the complicated nature of gender and sexual politics in the “movement of movements,” the commercialization of sex, and the construction of normative and transgressive heterosexualities in this period.

Theoretical and Conceptual Basis of Budget Security: Regional and Local Dimension
Authors: Voznyak Halyna , Kloba Taras
Published: November 2021

In current conditions, budget security is one of the essential components of financial security. The budget is the leading financial plan of the state and reflects most of the economic processes in the country; it also redistributes and accumulates revenues, provides financing of vital costs. Proper use of the budget as a financial basis for state regulation of a market economy should ensure the rule of economic and social processes in the interests of society to create conditions for the economic development of the country. Оn the one hand, and Budget security reflects the regularities of the functioning of the budget as an objective reality and, on the other hand, the subjective manifestations of human activity that find their expression in fiscal policy.The article aims to substantiate budget security's theoretical and conceptual basis at the regional and local levels.The article examines the theoretical essence of budget security at the regional and local levels. First, scientific approaches to the definition of "budget security" are generalized. Second, budget risks are considered, which under the influence of certain factors can be transformed into threats to budget security (discrete control; insolvency of taxpayers; political, military actions; destabilization of the financial sector of the region/communities; imbalance of revenues and expenditures; structure of revenues and expenses; external dependence violation of the stability of payments, debt growth (internal/external), stochastic errors, corrupt growth of the shadow sector, irrational budgeting). Third, the theoretical conceptualization of the concept of "threat", their essence and characteristics are substantiated. Fourth, understanding the nature of the concept of "budget risk" and "threat to budget security" is investigated. Finally, the functions and tasks that the budget security of territories should perform in the conditions of increasing financial and economic instability are considered.Coverage of the theoretical and conceptual basis of budget security of regions and communities, specification of existing and potential factors and risks of budget security, functions and tasks of budget security will minimize and neutralize various aspects and threats in budget security and increase budget security at regional and local levels and achieve important strategic guidelines.
Current State and Trends of Openness of the Ukrainian Economy
Authors: Ankhelko Iryna , Lekh Iryna
Published: November 2021

The essence of openness of the economy as an object of theoretical study based on the analysis of publications and research of domestic and foreign scientists is explored in the article. On that basis, the authors give their interpretation of the concept. It is noted that the consistent expansion of economic openness is an important factor in modern economic development. Four groups of the division of national economies by the criterion of openness, namely by the share of exports in the country's GDP, are considered. The main conditions of an open economy are highlighted and the main tools (economic and political) with which it is possible to achieve the expansion of economic openness are given.

An assessment of the current state and trends of openness of the national economy, based on the analysis of the main indicators of exports and imports of goods and services, as well as the geographical structure of Ukraine's foreign trade by recipient countries and donor countries of goods and services, has been made. It was found that in the current conditions of socio-economic instability, the openness of Ukraine’s economy remains at a fairly high level, which causes its close dependence on changes in external conditions. It is analyzed that the lion's share in the overall structure of Ukraine's foreign trade belongs to goods. The principal recipient countries of Ukrainian goods and services and donor countries in 2020 have been identified. The most common goods and services in the structure of exports and imports of Ukraine are also highlighted. In particular, it is noted that the most common goods for export were products of plant origin, base metals and articles base metals, fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin, and among services - transport services. At the same time, it was determined that the highest volume of imports in the general structure of Ukraine's foreign trade was achieved via machinery, equipment and machinery, electrical equipment and transport services import. It is generalized that the openness of Ukraine's economy is essential for its socio-economic development. Importantly to maximise the use of openness advantages that leads to productivity increasing and adaptation of production to growing competition that in turn is an important factor in improving the overall efficiency of the economy. It is recommended for ensuring the economic development of Ukraine, along with the foreign trade component of economic openness, it is also necessary to develop financial (including investment, technological, communicational) and political components.

Authors: Wan Jinming , Qian Xueren , Zhang Meiyun , Song Shunxi , Shen Jing
Published: November 2021

Assembly of biofibers into paper-based products fits well into green chemistry principles. Biobased additives such as cationic starch and carboxymethyl cellulose are widely used in the paper industry. Edible additives, which often can be regarded as “safer” than regular biobased additives, may also play a role in tailorable design of paper-based products.
Treatment of fresh water hyacinth with essential oil emulsion and subsequent use of the plant material for control of Aspergillus flavus on rice dessert products
Authors: Songsamoe Sumethee , Matan Narumol
Published: November 2021

Essential oil emulsion, which is generally functionalized to have increased antifungal activity, has high solubility in water. The objective of this research was to develop an essential oil emulsion for absorption by water hyacinth plants in order to produce an essential oil absorbent material as a carrier of essential oil vapor that can be released to control mold in an enclosed packaging system. The fresh water hyacinth adsorbed the Michelia alba oil emulsion (100 µL/mL to 500 µL/mL) through its root system, transporting it to the stems and leaves after submerging the plant into the M. alba oil emulsion for 48 h. Dried sections (root, stem, and leaf) of the water hyacinth plant with absorbed M. alba essential oil emulsion released the M. alba vapor, inhibited Aspergillus flavus growth on malt extract agar (MEA), and also Thai dessert (Ja Mongkut) with the highest antifungal activity achieved with the concentration 500 µL/mL. The maximum essential oil absorption (345 µL/g) in the fresh plant was achieved after 48 h. The dried water hyacinth (≥ 0.4 g/L air) completely inhibited the growth of A. flavus for at least 7 days. In addition, the absorbent material prevented the growth of A. flavus on the Thai dessert (Ja Mongkut) with approximately 100% effectiveness (versus the control) for 10 days, thereby extending the shelf-life 2.5-fold in when compared with the control without essential oil.
Dominating Concepts of Russian Federation Propaganda Against Ukraine (Content and Collocation Analyses of Russia Today)
Authors: Karpchuk Nataliia , Yuskiv Bohdan
Published: November 2021

The Russian Federation has been carrying out long-term and successful disinformation and propaganda activities against Ukraine. Due to its powerful, state-supported media structures, it is able to impose its vision of reality on its respective audiences. The purpose of this article is to determine the lexemes and topics of the “landscape” of analytical reports produced by Russia Today (RT) in 2018–2020. Lexemes and topics lay the groundwork for the RT propaganda discourse aimed at interfering and disbalancing Ukraine’s media space. This paper, based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, focuses on (1) the vocabulary structure of analytical materials, which may indicate Russian priorities, and (2) the thematic content (hidden topics) of RT messages. The RT analytical reports titles and relevant metadata were analyzed. The body of data was subdivided into periods of presidencies of P. Poroshenko and V. Zelensky. The authors argue that personalities do not play a significant role in the Kremlin’s attitude toward Ukraine; only the Ukraine-Russia opposition is decisive, in which the RF assigns Ukraine the only acceptable role as Russia’s “puppet.”

Healthy Weight
Authors: Levinson Benjamin
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Overweight and obesity are becoming more prevalent over time.Prevention works best when started early; discuss healthy eating practices at health supervision (well-child) visits by starting with responsive feeding in infancy.Treatment works best when started early; consider discussing treatment in more detail when observing an increase in body mass index (BMI) percentile over time, even if the BMI percentile is not at the overweight/obese threshold.During treatment, initial follow-up should be in 4 weeks and should remain at 4-week intervals until consistent improvement is made.Emphasize that the entire family has to be on board and practice healthy habits together.
Screening for Anemia
Authors: Adam Henry
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Anemia is not itself a disease but rather a sign of an underlying disorder that needs to be identified.Most children with anemia are asymptomatic, emphasizing the importance of screening.Adequate iron stores are critical for normal cognitive development, so early screening is key.Early identification of sickle cell anemia by newborn screening prevents morbidity and mortality.
Vision Screening
Authors: Adam Henry
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Vision screening should be a routine part of every primary care visit, with physical examination from birth and formal acuity testing from 3 years on. Elements of the physical examination include inspection, red reflex evaluation, corneal light reflection, cover-uncover test. Instrument-based testing can begin at 1 year of age until chart-based acuity testing is possible from 3 years on. Amblyopia, which results in permanent vision loss, is preventable with early detection—before 5 years of age.
Dysmenorrhea
Authors: Zubairi Hijab
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Dysmenorrhea (ie, painful menses) is a frequent cause of school absenteeism in girls.Primary dysmenorrhea typically occurs 1 to 2 years after menarche.Common causes of secondary dysmenorrhea including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, outflow tract obstruction, and endometrial polyps or fibroids.A careful history and physical examination are sufficient to diagnose primary dysmenorrhea.Secondary dysmenorrhea may require additional evaluation, including STI testing, imaging studies, and referral to a specialist.
Dysphagia
Authors: Barragan Myriam
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Dysphagia is difficulty with or improper swallowing.Dysphagia has many causes depending on gestational age, chronological age, congenital malformations, and neurodevelopmental status.Detailed history and physical examination help establish etiology for dysphagia in majority of cases.Selected cases need laboratory and imaging studies.Treatment depends on underlying cause.
Limp
Authors: Tsao Ronald
Published: November 2021

Key Points

The presence of a fever or weight loss suggests an infectious, oncologic, or inflammatory cause.An acute limp in the context of a fever with significant joint tenderness, refusal to bear weight, or limited range of motion should raise the suspicion of septic arthritis.Trauma is the most common cause of a limp.Chronic intermittent limping is more consistent with autoimmune causes, malignancy, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and transient synovitis.
Lymphadenopathy
Authors: Adam Henry M.
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Palpable cervical, occipital, and inguinal lymph nodes are common in healthy children. Important to distinguish reactive from infiltrative and localized from generalized adenopathy Knowing which group of lymph nodes drains which area(s) of the body helps direct diagnostic evaluation. Character of enlarged node(s) also helps guide evaluation: tenderness, warmth, fluctuance, hardness, fixation.
Nonconvulsive Periodic Disorders
Authors: Adam Henry
Published: November 2021

Key Points

The overall prevalence in children of paroxysmal disorders that are not epileptic is high.Distinguishing them from seizures is important prognostically and to avoid unnecessary treatment that can entail significant side effects.A thorough history is typically the most potent diagnostic tool.In general, education and reassurance are the mainstays of management.
Pruritus
Authors: Adam Henry
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Pruritis is the subjective sensation of itch that leads to scratching or rubbing, which can then produce skin damage.When severe, pruritis can be physically and psychologically harmful.In children, generalized pruritis more commonly results from cutaneous rather than systemic disease.A child with pruritis but no skin lesions should be evaluated for an underlying systemic disease.
Rash
Authors: Adam Henry M.
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Recognizing the characteristics of a rash and accurately describing them are key to diagnosis.An appropriate, problem-oriented history is a first step in diagnosis.Most rashes do not require laboratory evaluation or imaging.

Authors: Watt Mridula B.
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to bleeding that is excessive or occurs outside normal cyclic menstruation Anovulatory uterine bleeding is the most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding adolescents within 1–2 years of menarche. It is important to exclude pregnancy and infections prior to initiating treatment for anovulatory bleeding Goals of management for abnormal uterine bleeding include return to pattern of normal menstrual cycle and prevention of anemia.
Brief Resolved Unexplained Event (BRUE)
Authors: Rossetti Allison
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Formerly known as apparent life-threatening event, brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE) is used to emphasize the transient nature of the event and a lack of clear etiology and removes life-threatening from the label.Diagnosis of BRUE is established by detailed history and physical examination.Targeted laboratory and specialty evaluation depends on findings on clinical evaluation.A small number of infants need hospitalization for additional evaluation and observation.Infants who meet low-risk criteria can be discharged home after a period of observation.Mainstay of management are education of the family and providing resources for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.
Atopic Dermatitis
Authors: Ma Janet
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Atopic dermatitis is a common atopic disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the skin and pruritus.Treatment includes gentle moisturizers/emollients, topical/systemic steroids, nonsteroidal therapy, and biologic therapy. When needed, treat secondary infections such as Staphylococcus aureus.It can be associated with significant comorbidities including increased risk for other atopic diseases, poor sleep and growth, and poor quality of life and/or school performance.
Diaper Rash
Authors: Bode Sara
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) and candida are most common causes. Irritant contact dermatitis typically spares the creases, while Candida fungal infections involve the creases, are beefy red, and may have surrounding papules at the periphery (ie, satellite lesions). Consider adding antifungal treatment for ICD when the patient has completed recent antibiotic course or if the rash has persisted longer than 72 hours. Moderate ICD can be treated with low-potency steroids (eg, hydrocortisone 1% or 2.5%); avoid mid-potency steroids because of increased steroid absorption from diaper occlusion
Enuresis
Authors: Stone Lisa
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) is common in and often outgrown by children. Psychological effects on the child are the main reason for treatment.A thorough history and physical examination are needed to accurately characterize the type of nocturnal enuresis in order to form the most effective treatment plan.Both the bedwetting alarm and desmopressin are widely considered first-line therapy in the treatment of PMNE.
Intellectual Disability
Authors: Duan Susan
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by limitations in both intelligence and adaptive skills.It begins in childhood and is usually identified by failing to meet expected developmental milestones during routine visits.ID is classified on the basis of level of function, as being mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Most individuals with ID are in the mild category.Most cases of ID are multifactorial, although underlying genetic and metabolic disorders can be causative.Children with ID are likelier to have other neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or learning disabilities.Treatment goals are to lessen the effects of the disability and optimize functioning in the child’s everyday life. Access to early intervention programs is highly important so that the child and family can receive appropriate support.Children with ID are at increased risk for poverty and poor health outcomes as adults. Long-term outcomes are related to the severity of ID.
High Altitude Illness
Authors: Kirolos Henry
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Individuals traveling to high altitudes (usually to ≥2,500 m) are at risk of developing high altitude illness (HAI), especially if ascending quickly.Acclimatization and slow ascent are the most effective ways to avoid HAI.Acetazolamide is prevention and treatment.High altitude illnesses typically respond to descent, oxygen therapy, or both.
Anxiety and Trauma-Related Distress
Authors: Wissow Lawrence S.
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Anxiety symptoms (eg, fears about harm to self or loved ones; distress when child is asked to engage in feared activity; somatic complaints associated with fears) are common in children and adolescents; at some life stages and in some circumstances, a certain level of anxiety is developmentally appropriate.Anxiety symptoms may be features of 1 of 6 anxiety disorders or may cause functional impairment in the absence of a diagnosable disorder. Anxiety-like symptoms are a frequent response to trauma (physical or psychological) and can be features of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder, or adjustment disorder.Validated tools are available to screen for mental health symptoms generally, anxiety symptoms specifically, posttraumatic stress specifically, and impaired functioning, and to assess the effect of the child’s problem on caregivers; results lead to further discussions with the child and family.A child who feels anxious often has a parent who feels anxious or depressed; care of the parent is integral to helping the child.Pediatric clinicians can provide meaningful intervention, even in the absence of a diagnosis, through expressions of hope, empathy, and support to the child and family; encouragement of healthy habits and reducing overall stress; emphasis on coping with or gradual exposure to feared activities, rather than avoiding them; and brief interventions derived from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).Refer for full diagnostic evaluation and evidence-based care (CBT, plus medication for certain disorders) or comanage care with a mental health specialist ifThe child has severe functional impairments at school, at home, or with peers.Multiple symptoms of anxiety occur in many domains of life.The child or parent is very distressed by the symptom or symptoms.There are co-occurring behavioral problems (especially if combined with shyness).Anxiety was preceded by serious trauma or symptoms suggesting PTSD, acute stress disorder, or adjustment disorder.The child seems to have panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), both of which require specialized treatment.Anxiety occurs in a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Otitis Externa
Authors: Bode Sara
Published: November 2021

Key Points

Otitis externa most commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.Examination noted to have swelling of ear canal, possible discharge, pain on movement of pinna or tragus.TreatmentFor intact tympanic membrane, can use neomycin, polymyxin B, or trimethoprim sulfate.For non-intact tympanic membrane or tympanostomy tube–associated otorrhea, use fluoroquinolones (eg, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin).Malignant otitis externa (ie, rapid soft tissue and bone involvement) is characterized by severe pain, copious discharge, and possible facial paralysis and requires admission with imaging and intravenous antibiotics.
Factors affecting the cooking quality of stored carioca beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Authors: Correia Bento Juliana Aparecida , Carvalho Ferreira Karen , Zaczuk Bassinello Priscila , Oomah B. Dave
Published: November 2021

The culinary quality of carioca beans is related to their market value and consumer acceptability. The depreciation of the cooking/technological quality of the product occurs mainly because of the integument browning and the longer cooking time of the grains, which are influenced by the storage time and conditions. The loss of culinary quality reduces the market value of carioca beans because consumers reject darkened grains that are attributed to a longer cooking time. As a result, cooking time (resistance to cooking), the color of the integument, and the texture of the cooked beans are determinant factors in the acceptance of carioca bean cultivars. The browning of the grain integument and the cooking time mainly depends on the environmental conditions, storage time, the tegument of each genotype, and the chemical and physical properties of the cotyledons. Therefore, this review aims to survey the scientific literature on the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that affect the culinary quality of carioca beans.
Odzyskanie statusu uczelni wyższej przez Akademię Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie w epoce „dekady architektów”
Authors: Pilikowski Michał
Published: November 2021

W pierwszych latach po odzyskaniu niepodległości przez Polskę w 1918 roku w dziejach Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie szczególne miejsce zajęły starania o utrzymanie przez krakowską uczelnię artystyczną statusu szkoły wyższej. Staraniom tym przewodzili rektorzy-architekci, Józef Gałęzowski i Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, którzy stali na czele ASP w latach 1919-1929. Aspiracje uczelni spotkały się z  niezrozumieniem ze strony Ministerstwa Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego. Kolejne projekty statutu były ignorowane, a korzystna dla ASP nowelizacja odpowiednich ustaw odkładana w czasie. Walka o status akademicki krakowskiej ASP nabrała wymiaru ogólnopolskiego sporu prawników o kompetencje izb parlamentarnych i o interpretację konstytucji. Zakończyła się 16 lipca 1924 roku przyjęciem nowelizacji do ustawy o szkołach wyższych polegającej na dopisaniu krakowskiej ASP do grona uczelni o pełnym statusie akademickim.Prezentowane zagadnienie zostało opracowane na podstawie dokumentów znajdujących się w wielu archiwach polskich oraz artykułów prasowych z epoki.Artykuł, przedstawiający odcinek dziejów Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie w jednym z jej najbardziej burzliwych okresów, stanowi przyczynek do biografii dwóch wybitnych architektów, Józefa Gałęzowskiego i Adolfa Szyszko-Bohusza.
Mariawityzm na łamach „Kroniki Diecezji Sandomierskiej” w latach 1908–1915
Authors: Zieliński Patryk
Published: November 2021

W 1906 roku mariawici zostali wykluczeni z Kościoła. Stało się to z powodu błędów dogmatycznych oraz niesubordynacji w stosunku do biskupów. Konflikt między katolikami a mariawitami rozpoczął się. Sekta uzyskała siłę i stała się niebezpieczna dla duchowieństwa i konserwatywnej opinii w Królestwie Polskim. W 1908 roku mariawici dotarli do Diecezji Sandomierskiej. W tym samym roku zostało założone miesięczne czasopismo „Kronika Diecezji Sandomierskiej”, redagowany przez Jana Gajkowskiego. Były tam publikowane artykuły krytykujące ten nowy ruch religijny. Autorzy polemizowali też o kondycji katolickiego duchowieństwa. Niektórzy z nich widzieli błędy w ich własnym środowisku. Te błędy były wykorzystywane przez mariawitów. Aczkolwiek w następnych latach, sekta zaczęła tracić siłę. W 1914 i 1915 nie było artykułów na jej temat. W tym czasie więcej artykułów było przeznaczone wojnie i innym problemom społecznym.
Związki ks. Józefa Pastuszki z Akademią Duchowną w Petersburgu i Katolickim Uniwersytetem Lubelskim
Authors: Szumił Halina Irena
Published: November 2021

Przyszły Profesor Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, ks. Józef Adam Pastuszka, w 1912 r. rozpoczął studia w Wyższym Seminarium Duchownym w Sandomierzu i realizował je do pierwszej wojny światowej, która w następstwie działań wojennych w 1915 r. wraz z rodzicami i rodzeństwem zaprowadziła go na Wschód w okolice Brześcia. Kiedy udało mu się przedostać do Petersburga, podjął przez dwa lata kontynuację studiów w tamtejszym seminarium duchownym. Po czym przez rok 1917/1918 był studentem Akademii Duchownej w Petersburgu, gdzie miała swój początek, niejako „prehistorię” uczelnia lubelska. Rektorem Akademii był wówczas ks. Idzi Radziszewski.W roku 1917/1918 ówczesny rektor Akademii w Petersburgu podjął organizację Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego. W swoich wspomnieniach ks. Józef Pastuszka wyraził przekonanie, że zaistniały związki pomiędzy Akademią Duchowną w Petersburgu, która po rewolucji październikowej przestała istnieć, a powołanym do życia w 1918 r. Uniwersytetem Lubelskim. Związki te opierały się na tym, że rezydujący w Petersburgu arcybiskup mohylowski, jako zwierzchnia władza Akademii, przelał prawa i przywileje Akademii na Uniwersytet Lubelski.W lipcu 1918 r. jako subdiakon Józef Adam Pastuszka wrócił do kraju. Mając ukończony pierwszy rok studiów w Petersburgu został przez sandomierską władzę diecezjalną skierowany na studia do Innsbrucka (Austria). Pod koniec października 1920 r. otrzymał dyplom doktorski, a 1930 przeprowadził colloquium habilitacyjne na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim i uzyskał tytuł docenta filozofii i podjął pracę na Wydziale Teologicznym Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. W 1934 r. został zatrudniony na Wydziale Humanistycznym Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego. Z chwilą wybuchu wojny w 1939 r. Uniwersytet Lubelski przerwał działalność. W połowie kwietnia 1945 r. Profesor powrócił do Lublina i objął dawną katedrę psychologii ogólnej w Katolickim Uniwersytecie Lubelskim. We wrześniu 1952 r. został usunięty z Uczelni. W 1956 ks. Józef Pastuszka znów powrócił do pracy na KUL.W lipcu 1969 r. przeszedł na emeryturę, w 1978 r., opuścił Lublin i zamieszkał w domu kapitulnym w Sandomierzu. Zmarł 13 stycznia 1989 r. w Sandomierzu, 17 stycznia w katedrze sandomierskiej odbyły się uroczystości pogrzebowe, 21 stycznia 1989 r. został pochowany w rodzinnej parafii Rzeczniowie.
Concerning the Dialectical Criticism of Religion
Authors: Krzos Bartłomiej
Published: November 2021

A contemporary so-called „New Atheism” is one of the many ways the existence of God is denied. It is based on criticism directed against the followers of various religions. This criticism focuses on the object of religion to which the cult is directed. It is mainly about illuminating the natural or social foundation of religion. To annihilate religion, atheists postulate subjecting it to dialectical criticism developed by Karl Marx. This criticism of the concept of religion, although it will not make it disappear completely, will result in a post-religious synthesis which will appear in new forms of worship and spirituality.

W powyższym artykule zaprezentowano analizę jednego z fundamentalnych aspektów nauczania Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego jakim jest mariologia rozumiana w kategoriach prakseologicznych. Podjęta przez autora eksplikacja materiałów źródłowych ma za zadanie ukazać zaufanie do Maryi, Matki Kościoła, które odegrało niewątpliwie ogromną rolę w życiu i posłudze biskupiej Kardynała Wyszyńskiego. Rola i przymioty Maryi wpisane zostały tutaj w praktykę duszpasterską mającą na celu integralną odnowę moralną człowieka i narodu polskiego. Co więcej, opracowany przez Prymasa maryjny program duszpasterski oparł się naciskom komunistycznego aparatu władzy państwowej. Dzięki temu, stał się odpowiedzią na wiele zagrożeń, jakie niosła ze sobą powojenna rzeczywistość społeczno-polityczna, przyczyniając się do zachowania tożsamości i niezależności kulturowej Polaków.Zamierzeniem autora powyższej publikacji jest syntetyczne ukazanie spojrzenia Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego na Maryję jako na Matkę Boga-Człowieka i Matkę Kościoła. Eksploracja powyższych badań opierać się będzie na analizie tekstów źródłowych dokonywaną metodą historyczno-teologiczną. W konsekwencji, autor niniejszego artykułu starał się uchwycić i zarysować nie tylko mariologię Prymasa Tysiąclecia i zawarte w niej istotne treści teologiczne. Ważnym elementem powyższych badań jest ukazanie jej wymiaru pastoralno-prakseologicznego, przejawiającego się w różnorodnych inicjatywach duszpasterskich, w których nie tylko wyidealizowany pietyzm i admiracja, ale przede wszystkim głęboka wiara i zaufanie do Maryi Królowej Polski i Matki Kościoła odgrywały fundamentalną rolę.
Das Seelsorgekonzept des Ignaz Heinrich von Wessenberg in Grundzugen
Authors: Dalecki Krzysztof
Published: November 2021

Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia zarysu koncepcji pastoralno-duszpasterskiej Ignacego Henryka von Wessenberga, który odegrał istotną rolę w budowaniu struktur administracyjno-duszpasterskich tworzonej właśnie diecezji Konstanz. Von Wessenberg był wikariuszem generalnym i administratorem tego biskupstwa. Jego poglądy wskazywały na chęć utworzenia w Niemczech Kościoła episkopalnego, kierowanego wprawdzie przez prymasa, ale opartego na ustroju Kościołów krajowych przenikniętych ideami austriackiego oświecenia. Gruntowną reformę życia duchowego chciał on zaprowadzić przez odnowę liturgii oraz odpowiednie kształcenie kleru.Publikacja nakreśla czynniki mające wpływ najpierw na rozwój osobowości Wessenberga, a następnie na jego poglądy dotyczące Kościoła oraz duszpasterstwa. Akcentuje rolę ojca i wpływ „józefińskich” biskupów, których poglądy bardzo wyraźnie odcisnęły się w późniejszych działaniach pastoralnych Wessenberga. Następnie tekst przedstawia jego zapatrywania na dogmatykę, eklezjologię oraz opartą o nie koncepcję duszpasterstwa, która najlepiej wyraziła się w procesie formacji duchowieństwa, kleru i wiernych.
Poznawanie Schelera
Authors: Prokop Adam R.
Published: November 2021

Artykuł stanowi retrospekcję zaznajamiania się z postacią oraz myślą uznanego intelektualisty, Maxa Schelera (1874–1928), pioniera fenomenologii, etyki oraz antropologii filozoficznej. Artykuł przechodzi od syntezy biograficznej, z uwypukleniem problematycznych elementów życiorysu niemieckiego filozofa, poprzez próbę syntezy dorobku umysłowego w świetle różnorodnych opracowań, których myśl uczonego się doczekała, do krytycznej analizy nieprzetłumaczonego do dzisiaj w całości na język polski dzieła Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik (1916). Przedmiotem refleksji pozostaje intuicyjny dysonans pomiędzy tym, co Scheler pisał i głosił, a tym, jak żył, natomiast jej celem jego wykazanie. Wydaje się to zagadnieniem ważkim, zwłaszcza w kontekście etyki i aksjologii, które roszczą sobie prawo do formułowania zasad wiążących dla każdego człowieka.

Conversational marketing as a framework for interaction with the customer: Development & validation of the conversational agent's usage scale
Authors: Israfilzade Khalil
Published: November 2021

Conversational agents are becoming an essential part of a growing number of personal and commercial encounters, bringing the issue of Conversational Marketing to a broader audience. A conversational agent is a developing technology that will be used in various fields throughout life, including e-commerce. The common characteristics of any conversational agent in whatever area are their capacity to engage in one-to-one personalised real-time dialogue with a human user and their availability 24 hours a day. Scale items for conversational agent phenomena have not been created scientifically or managerially in a business environment. The primary goal of this study was to develop and validate a new scale for conversational agents that could be used to quantify individual interactions in conversational marketing. As a result, the creation of a new scale for conversational agents with the objective of measuring individual customer interactions in conversational marketing was separated into two phases: Scale Development and Scale Validation. The Conversational Agent Usage Scale was developed and validated as a consequence of pilot studies. Additionally, this article discusses the practical consequences of conversational marketing, which can now be accomplished through the use of the Conversational Agent Usage Scale, which may be used by Customer Service & Support, Marketing, and Sales departments.
Spatial econometric analysis of health services in Turkey through the perspective of the health development indicator
Authors: Tatlı Suna
Published: November 2021

Health-related parameters are critical as indicators of development, and as a result, governments allocate a sizable portion of their budgets to the health sector. The most fundamental variable considered an indicator of health development is the infant mortality rate, which was used as the dependent variable in this study. The data utilized in the study were compiled from the TURKSTAT web page and the TR Ministry of Health's health annuals, with the year 2019 serving as the reference point for access to all data. In the study, econometric analyses were performed while keeping the notion of contiguity in mind to reveal the factors healthily affecting the infant mortality rate at the NUTS 3 level, which encompasses all provinces in the TURKSTAT regional categorization. The distribution of infant mortality rates by provinces in Turkey was analyzed in this context, and it was discovered that there was a high degree of clustering between provinces. This clustering structure indicated the presence of a spatial relationship between provinces, and it was from this point of view that spatial econometric analysis of health services in Turkey was conducted. Analyzes were carried out using STATA and GeoDa package programs.
The diagnostic tests revealed the presence of spatial autocorrelation, necessitating the employment of the spatial autoregressive model (SAR Model) to explain the relationship between the variables. As a result, it was concluded that both the variables included in the study and the infant mortality rate in nearby locations have an effect on the infant mortality rate for each province.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify factors associated with the sexual practices and positions performed by pregnant women. Methods: a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with 354 pregnant women, in the interior of Ceará, Brazil, in 2016. For data collection, a form and a Pregnancy Sexuality Questionnaire were used. Results: there was a reduction in the sexual initiative of the woman, sexual disposition of the couple, sexual practices and most of the sexual positions, while the maintenance of preliminary sexual activities and initiative to perform them was verified. Sexual practices and positions decreased (p<0.0001): preliminary sexual activities, sexual disposition, lubrication, orgasm, pain or discomfort, sexual positions, sexual practices, and sexual satisfaction. Sexual practices and positions increased (p<0.0001) as a function of: education, number of deliveries, sexual life, desire and arousal, and sexual disposition of the pregnant woman, frequency of orgasm and of sexual practices (p<0.0001). Conclusions: sexual practices and positions of pregnant women were affected by domains of sexual function, sexual, reproductive, physical, and psychological aspects.
Government spending, the exchange rate and growth: empirical evidence for Latin America
Authors: CRUZ MORITZ , ZAVALETA JOSUE
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Using data of selected economies of Latin America for the period 1990-2017, this paper aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of disaggregate government spending in the exchange rate. Our results indicate that government investment depreciates the exchange rate whereas government consumption, on the other hand, appreciates it. Both effects are, however, rather small. Our findings support recent literature showing that the relationship among government spending and the exchange rate is ambiguous, challenging the general accepted idea that government spending inevitably appreciates the exchange rate, having thus negative effects on the tradable sector and on growth. Overall, our results allow us to suggest that growth can be stimulated particularly via government investment without detrimental effects on the exchange rate.
Influência metodológica na desindustrialização brasileira
Authors: MORCEIRO PAULO CÉSAR
Published: November 2021

RESUMO Usuários das Contas Nacionais do Brasil frequentemente usam a participação setorial sobrestimada devido ao dummy financeiro não ser eliminado do PIB setorial. Isso afeta o nível, pico e formato da série de desindustrialização. Mudanças no sistema de Contas Nacionais também provocaram quebras seriais, dificultando avaliar o efeito da abertura comercial na desindustrialização. Este estudo criou séries da participação setorial no PIB de 1947 a 2019 para contornar o dummy financeiro e as descontinuidades nas séries de longo prazo. A nova série está mais aderente aos ciclos econômicos, capta o efeito da abertura comercial e contesta a tese da sobreindustrialização, permitindo um melhor entendimento do processo de desindustrialização.
Contractionary depreciations in Latin America during the 2000s
Authors: MONTANÉ MARTÍN , LIBMAN EMILIANO , ZACK GUIDO
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT This paper explores the effects of currency depreciations on output for the main Latin American countries that have been using Inflation Targeting for almost two decades. We construct VAR models for Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru for the last two decades and we find that depreciations have short-run contractionary effects in Brazil and Mexico. We illustrate some of the policy implications of that finding by building a simple model, and we show that contractionary effects of depreciations may have destabilizing effects when monetary policy is conducted using a standard Taylor Rule.

Why we need an allocative (and resourceful) welfare state
Authors: KERSTENETZKY CELIA LESSA
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT In this essay, I propose an agenda for the welfare state of the 21st century that emphasizes its role as a mechanism of resource allocation. Since social and environmental problems are getting out of hand, the time for mere compensation is over: we need a mechanism for directly influencing systems of production and patterns of consumption in the direction of addressing those problems. This partially translates into a decisive sectoral shift towards public social services led by the welfare state. Among the advantages of this move, in addition to more socially balanced outcomes, are quality jobs and fulfillment of social needs in an environment-friendly way. The allocative task which gives the welfare state a constitutive role in shaping the socioeconomy complements its classic function as problem fixer. The allocative welfare state must be prepared to limit the domain of market allocation.
