Background

By understanding the information seeking behaviors of older adults, we can better develop or iterate effective information technologies, such as the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal, that provide evidence-based health information to the public. This paper reports health-related information seeking and searching behaviours and provides strategies for effective knowledge translation (KT) to increase awareness and use of reliable health information.

Methods

We conducted a qualitative study with eighteen older adults using the persona-scenario method, whereby participants created personas and scenarios describing older adults seeking health information. Scenarios were analyzed using a two-phase inductive qualitative approach, with the personas as context. From the findings related to pathways of engaging with health information, we identified targeted KT strategies to raise awareness and uptake of evidence-based information resources.

Results

Twelve women and six men, 60 to 81 years of age, participated. In pairs, they created twelve personas that captured rural and urban, male and female, and immigrant perspectives. Some scenarios described older adults who did not engage directly with technology, but rather accessed information indirectly through other sources or preferred nondigital modes of delivery. Two major themes regarding KT considerations were identified: connecting to information via other people and personal venues (people included healthcare professionals, librarians, and personal networks; personal venues included clinics, libraries, pharmacies, and community gatherings); and health information delivery formats, (e.g., printed and multimedia formats for web-based resources). For each theme, and any identified subthemes, corresponding sets of suggested KT strategies are presented.

Conclusions

Our findings underline the importance of people, venues, and formats in the actions of older adults seeking trusted health information and highlight the need for enhanced KT strategies to share information across personal and professional networks of older adults. KT strategies that could be employed by organizations or communities sharing evidence-based, reliable health information include combinations of educational outreach and materials, decision support tools, small group sessions, publicity campaigns, champions/opinion leaders, and conferences.
Number of chronic conditions and associated functional limitations among older adults: cross-sectional findings from the longitudinal aging study in India
Authors: Sharma Palak , Maurya Priya , Muhammad T.
Published: November 2021

Background

Chronic conditions reduce the likelihood of physical functioning among older adults. However, the contribution of most prevalent diseases and multimorbidity to different measures of functional limitations is relatively underexplored among Indian older adults. The present study explores the prospective association between number of chronic conditions and limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among older adults in India.

Methods

This study utilized data from the nationally representative Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI-2017-18). The effective sample size was 31,464 older adults aged 60 years and above. Descriptive statistics along with cross-tabulation were presented in the study. Additionally, binary logistic regression analysis was used to fulfil the objectives. The outcome variables were dichotomized; high representing no difficulty in ADL/IADL and low representing a difficulty in at least one ADL/IADL. The chronic conditions included hypertension, diabetes, neurological/psychiatric disease, lung disease, heart diseases, stroke, and bone-related disease. The number of chronic diseases was categorized into no disease, single, two and three plus based on number of reported disease.

Results

26.36% of older women and 20.87% of older men had low ADL and the figures for low IADL were 56.86 and 38.84% for older men and women respectively. The likelihood of low ADL (AOR: 1.698, CI:1.544, 1.868) and low IADL (AOR: 1.197; CI: 1.064, 1.346) was higher among womenthan men. With increasing age, the prevalence of low ADL increased among older adults. Respondents with pre-existing chronic conditions had higher likelihood of low ADL and IADL. Older adults with hypertension, psychiatric disease, heart disease, stroke and bone-related disease had significantly higher odds of reporting low IADL. The chances of low ADL and IADL were 2.156 (CI: 1.709, 2.719) and 2.892 (CI: 2.067, 4.047) times respectively higher among older adults with more than three chronic conditions. After controlling for socio-economic and health-related covariates, it was found that men with more than three pre-existing chronic conditions had higher odds of low ADL than women. On the other hand, low IADL were found higher among women with more than three pre-existing chronic conditions.

Conclusions

The present study demonstrates a significant burden of functional limitations among older individuals and that there is a strong association between pre-existing chronic conditions and functional disability. Those with hypertension, diabetes, psychiatric disorders, heart disease, stroke, lung disease or bone-related diseases should be effectively monitored to predict future functional limitations, which may lead to worsening health.
Comparing ERAS-outpatient versus standard-inpatient hip and knee replacements: a mixed methods study exploring the experience of patients who underwent both
Authors: Hardy Alexandre , Gervais-Hupé Jonathan , Desmeules François , Hudon Anne , Perreault Kadija , Vendittoli Pascal-André
Published: November 2021

Background

Optimizing patients’ total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) experience is as crucial for providing high quality care as improving safety and clinical effectiveness. Yet, little evidence is available on patient experience in standard-inpatient and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)-outpatient programs. Therefore, this study aimed to gain a more in-depth understanding of the patient experience of ERAS-outpatient programs in comparison to standard-inpatient programs.

Methods

We conducted a convergent mixed methods study of 48 consecutive patients who experienced both standard-inpatient and ERAS-outpatient THA/TKA contralaterally. A reflective thematic analysis was conducted based on data collected via a questionnaire. Bivariate correlations between the patient experience and patients’ characteristics, clinical outcomes and care components satisfaction were performed. Then, the quantitative and qualitative data were integrated together.

Results

The theme Support makes the difference for better and for worse was identified by patients as crucial to their experience in both joint replacement programs. On the other hand, patients identified 3 themes distinguishing their ERAS-outpatient from their standard-inpatient experience: 1) Minimizing inconvenience, 2) Home sweet home and 3) Returning to normal function and activities. Potential optimization expressed by patients were to receive more preoperative information, additional postoperative rehabilitation sessions, and ensuring better coherence of care between hospital and home care teams. Weak to moderate positive and statistically significant correlations were found between patients’ THA/TKA experience and satisfaction with pain management, hospital stay, postoperative recovery, home care, and overall results (rs = + [0.36–0.66], p-value < 0.01).

Conclusion

Whatever the perioperative program, the key to improving patients’ THA/TKA experience lies in improving support throughout the care episode. However, compared to standard-inpatient care, the ERAS-outpatient program improves patients’ experience by providing dedicated support in postoperative care, reducing postoperative inconvenience, optimizing pain management, returning home sooner, and recovering and regaining function sooner. Patients’ THA/TKA experience could further be enhanced by optimizing the information provided to the patient, the rehabilitation program and the coherence between care teams.
Halo traction combined with posterior-only approach correction for cervical kyphosis with Neurofibromatosis-1: minimum 2 years follow-up
Authors: Zhang Hongqi , Deng Ang , Guo Chaofeng , Zhou Zhenhai , Xiao Lige
Published: November 2021

Background

Surgical management of cervical kyphosis in patients with NF-1 is a challenging task. Presently, anterior-only (AO), posterior-only (PO) and combined anterior-posterior (AP) spinal fusion are common surgical strategies. However, the choice of surgical strategy and application of Halo traction remain controversial. Few studies have shown and recommended posterior-only approach for cervical kyphosis correction in patients with NF-1. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of halo Traction combined with posterior-only approach correction for treatment of cervical kyphosis with NF-1.

Methods

Twenty-six patients with severe cervical kyphosis due to NF-1 were reviewed retrospectively between January 2010 and April 2018. All the cases underwent halo traction combined with posterior instrumentation and fusion surgery. Correction result, neurologic status and complications were analyzed.

Results

In this study, cervical kyphosis Cobb angle decreased from initial 61.3 ± 19.7 degrees to postoperative 10.6 ± 3.7 degrees (P<0.01), with total correction rate of 82.7%, which consist of 45.8% from halo traction and 36.9% from surgical correction. JOA scores were improved from preoperative 13.3 ± 1.6 to postoperative 16.2 ± 0.7 (P<0.01). Neurological status was also improved. There was no correction loss and the neurological status was stable in mean 43 months follow-up. Three patients experienced minor complications and one patient underwent a second surgery.

Conclusion

Halo traction combined with PO approach surgery is safe and effective method for cervical kyphosis correction in patients with NF-1. A satisfied correction result, and successful bone fusion can be achieved via this procedure, even improvement of neurological deficits can also be obtained. Our study suggested that halo traction combined with PO approach surgery is another consideration for cervical kyphosis correction in patients with NF-1.

Published: November 2021

Background

Previous studies have shown a wide range of anatomical classifications of the subtalar joint (STJ) in the population and this is related to the different force line structures of the foot. Different subtalar articular surface morphology may affect the occurrence and development of flat foot deformity, and there are fewer studies in this area. The main objective of our study was to determine the association of different subtalar articular surface with the occurrence and severity of flat foot deformity.

Methods

We analyzed the imaging data of 289 cases of STJ. The articular surface area, Gissane’s angle and Bohler’s angle of subtalar articular surface of different types were counted. The occurrence and severity of flat foot deformity in different subtalar articular surface were judged by measuring the Meary angle of foot.

Results

We classified 289 cases of subtalar articular surface into five types according to the morphology. According to Meary angle, the flat foot deformity of Type I and Type IV are significantly severer than Type II (P < 0.05). Type II (7.65 ± 1.38 cm2) was significantly smaller than Type I (8.40 ± 1.79 cm2) in the total joint facet area(P < 0.05). Type III (9.15 ± 1.92 cm2) was smaller than Type I (8.40 ± 1.79 cm2), II (7.65 ± 1.38 cm2) and IV (7.81 ± 1.74 cm2) (P < 0.05). Type II (28.81 ± 7.44∘) was significantly smaller than Type I (30.80 ± 4.61 degrees), and IV (32.25 ± 5.02 degrees) in the Bohler’s angle (P < 0.05). Type II (128.49 ± 6.74 degrees) was smaller than Type I (131.58 ± 7.32 degrees), and IV (131.94 ± 5.80 degrees) in the Gissane’s angle (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

After being compared and analyzed the measurement of morphological parameters, joint facet area and fusion of subtalar articular surface were closely related to the severity of flat foot deformity and Type I and IV were more likely to develop severer flat foot deformity.

The role of MAPK11/12/13/14 (p38 MAPK) protein in dopamine agonist-resistant prolactinomas
Authors: Wang Shuman , Wang Aihua , Zhang Yu , Zhu Kejing , Wang Xiong , Chen Yonggang , Wu Jinhu
Published: November 2021

Background

Prolactinoma is a functional pituitary adenoma that secretes excessive prolactin. Dopamine agonists (DAs) such as bromocriptine (BRC) are the first-line treatment for prolactinomas, but the resistance rate is increasing year by year, creating a clinical challenge. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the molecular mechanism of bromocriptine resistance in prolactinomas. Activation of the P38 MAPK pathway affects multidrug resistance in tumours. Our previous studies have demonstrated that inhibiting MAPK14 can suppress the occurrence of prolactinoma, but the role of MAPK11/12/13/14 (p38 MAPK) signalling in dopamine agonist-resistant prolactinomas is still unclear.

Methods

A prolactinoma rat model was established to determine the effect of bromocriptine on MAPK11/12/13/14 signalling. DA-resistant GH3 cells and DA-sensitive MMQ cells were used, and the role of MAPK11/12/13/14 in bromocriptine-resistant prolactinomas was preliminarily verified by western blot, RT-qPCR, ELISA, flow cytometry and CCK-8 experiments. The effects of MAPK11 or MAPK14 on bromocriptine-resistant prolactinomas were further verified by siRNA transfection experiments.

Results

Bromocriptine was used to treat rat prolactinoma by upregulating DRD2 expression and downregulating the expression level of MAPK11/12/13/14 in vivo experiments. The in vitro experiments showed that GH3 cells are resistant to bromocriptine and that MMQ cells are sensitive to bromocriptine. Bromocriptine could significantly reduce the expression of MAPK12 and MAPK13 in GH3 cells and MMQ cells. Bromocriptine could significantly reduce the expression of MAPK11, MAPK14, NF-κB p65 and Bcl2 in MMQ but had no effect on MAPK11, MAPK14, NF-κB p65 and Bcl2 in GH3 cells. In addition, knockdown of MAPK11 and MAPK14 in GH3 cells by siRNA transfection reversed the resistance of GH3 cells to bromocriptine, and haloperidol (HAL) blocked the inhibitory effect of bromocriptine on MAPK14, MAPK11, and PRL in MMQ cells. Our findings show that MAPK11 and MAPK14 proteins are involved in bromocriptine resistance in prolactinomas.

Conclusion

Bromocriptine reduces the expression of MAPK11/12/13/14 in prolactinomas, and MAPK11 and MAPK14 are involved in bromocriptine resistance in prolactinomas by regulating apoptosis. Reducing the expression of MAPK11 or MAPK14 can reverse bromocriptine resistance in prolactinomas.
FERMT1 knockdown inhibits oral squamous cell carcinoma cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inactivating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Authors: Wang Xiao , Chen Qianqian
Published: November 2021

Background

The metastasis of oral cancer is one of the main causes of death. However, the mechanisms underlying oral cancer metastasis have not been completely elucidated. Fermitin family member 1 (FERMT1) plays an -oncogene role in many cancers; however, the role of FERMT1 in oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC) remains unclear.

Methods

In this study, OSCC cells were treated with 5 ng/ml recombinant human Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) protein. FERMT1 expression was measured in OSCC cell lines by RT-qPCR and western blotting. The effect of FERMT1 knockdown on the migration and invasion of OSCC cells was evaluated by Transwell assay. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related mRNA expression and protein levels were assessed by RT-qPCR and western blotting.

Results

We found that FERMT1 expression was elevated in TGF-β1-induced OSCC cell lines, and knockdown of FERMT1 inhibited the migration and invasion in TGF-β1-induced OSCC cells. FERMT1 silencing inhibited vimentin, N-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression and promoted E-cadherin expression, suggesting that FERMT1 silencing inhibited EMT in TGF-β1-induced OSCC cells. Furthermore, FERMT1 silencing inactivated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in TGF-β1-induced OSCC cells. Activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway reversed the effect of FERMT1 silencing on OSCC cell migration, invasion, and EMT.

Conclusions

FERMT1 silencing inhibits the migration, invasion, and EMT of OSCC cells via inactivation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting that FERMT1 is a novel and potential therapeutic target for anti-metastatic strategies for OSCC.
Conventional and complementary health care use and out-of-pocket expenses among Australians with a self-reported mental health diagnosis: a cross-sectional survey
Authors: McIntyre Erica , Oorschot Tracey , Steel Amie , Leach Matthew J , Adams Jon , Harnett Joanna
Published: November 2021

Background

Mental health disorders are a global health concern. In Australia, numerous national reports have found that the current mental healthcare system does not adequately meet the needs of Australians with mental illness. Consequently, a greater understanding of how people with a mental health disorder are using the broader healthcare system is needed. The aim of this paper is to explore conventional and complementary health care use and expenditure among Australian adults reporting a mental health disorder diagnosis.

Methods

A cross-sectional online survey of 2,019 Australian adults examined socio-demographic characteristics, complementary and conventional health care use and the health status of participants.

Results

32 % (n = 641) of the total sample (N = 2019) reported a mental health disorder in the previous 3 years. Of these, 96 % reported consulting a general practitioner, 90.6 % reported using prescription medicines, 42.4 % consulted a complementary medicine practitioner, 56.9 % used a complementary medicine product and 23 % used a complementary medicine practice. The estimated 12-month out-of-pocket health care expenditure among Australians with a mental health disorder was AUD$ 4,568,267,421 (US$ 3,398,293,672) for conventional health care practitioners and medicines, and AUD$ 1,183,752,486 (US$ 880,729,891) for complementary medicine practitioners, products and practices. Older people (50–59 and 60 and over) were less likely to consult a CM practitioner (OR = 0.538, 95% CI [0.373, 0.775]; OR = 0.398, 95% CI [0.273, 0.581] respectively) or a psychologist/counsellor (OR = 0.394, 95% CI [0.243, 0.639]; OR = 0.267, 95% CI [0.160, 0.447] respectively). People either looking for work or not in the workforce were less likely to visit a CM practitioner (OR = 0.298, 95% CI [0.194, 0.458]; OR = 0.476, 95% CI [0.353, 0.642], respectively).

Conclusions

A substantial proportion of Australian adults living with a mental health disorder pay for both complementary and conventional health care directly out-of-pocket. This finding suggests improved coordination of healthcare services is needed for individuals living with a mental health disorder. Research examining the redesign of primary health care provision should also consider whether complementary medicine practitioners and/or integrative health care service delivery models could play a role in addressing risks associated with complementary medicine use and the unmet needs of people living with a mental health disorder.

Published: November 2021

Background

Degenerative aortic arch aneurysms are known to develop through a pathological process of arterial atherosclerosis, which could be accompanied by peripheral artery diseases and resultant development of intrapelvic collateral arteries to the ischemic lower limbs. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between peripheral collateral circulation and postoperative paraplegia after total arch repair with a frozen elephant trunk in patients with degenerative aortic arch aneurysms and peripheral artery diseases.

Methods

Between October 2014 and March 2020, 27 patients (20 men; 69.8 ± 7.7 years old) underwent total arch repair with a frozen elephant trunk. Two of the 27 patients developed paraplegia postoperatively. The patients were divided into two groups, spinal cord ischemia (SCI) group (2 patients) and no-SCI group (25 patients). The aortic shagginess score, arterial calcification (subclavian artery; hypogastric artery) score, and the number of hypogastric artery branches, assessed using preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography images, were compared between the two groups.

Results

The ankle brachial artery pressure index (i.e., lower side value each patient) was lower in the SCI group than that in the no-SCI group (0.64, 0.71, and 1.09±0.07, respectively). There was no difference between the two groups in the arterial calcification scores or the aortic shagginess score. The number of hypogastric artery branches was greater in the SCI group than in the no-SCI group (66, 66, and 30.7±7.5, respectively).

Conclusions

Enhanced collateral circulation to the ischemic lower limbs in patients with combination of degenerative aortic arch aneurysms and peripheral artery diseases may be involved in paraplegia the upper thoracic spinal cord injury after total arch repair with a frozen elephant trunk.
Thinking Travesti Tears: Reading Loxoro
Authors: Cornejo Giancarlo
Published: November 2021

This article offers a reading of the Peruvian film Loxoro (dir. Claudia Llosa, Peru/Spain/Argentina/US, 2011), which stars the transgender activist Belissa Andía. “Loxoro” is the name of a language used by travesti communities to survive in Lima, Peru. The main plot of the film centers on the bond between a travesti mother and her missing travesti daughter. That is why in Loxoro, travesti tears abound. This article raises the following questions: If Loxoro is a language for abandoned and wounded lovers in contexts of dispossession and violence, can travesti tears play a transformative role? What history of travesti tears does Loxoro offer? What forms of travesti loss and kinship imagine the film as deserving to mobilize tears? Can travesti tears foretell transfeminist futures to come?
Introduction: Late Hammer
Authors: White Patricia
Published: November 2021

This introduction to a dossier of short pieces on Barbara Hammer locates the work of the late filmmaker in the context of feminist film culture and the journal Camera Obscura. It briefly reviews several phases of the artist's career before focusing on the output of the last decade of the filmmaker's life. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Hammer made work dealing with her body; gave footage she shot over the years to several filmmakers to finish as they wished; set up a grant for lesbian experimental filmmakers; and collaborated with curators, archivists, and her partner, Florrie Burke, to shape her own legacy. Pieces by the collaborators who contributed to this dossier are introduced.
Barbara Hammer and Queer|Art: Granting for the Future
Authors: Haroutunian Vanessa
Published: November 2021

This essay describes how the Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant came into fruition, created by the pioneering lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer and administered through the New York City nonprofit organization Queer|Art. In 2017, Hammer approached her friend and colleague Ira Sachs to set up a grant in her honor, through the nonprofit he founded in 2009 with the mission to create a diverse and vibrant community through the support of LGBTQ+ art and artists across generations and disciplines. Author and grant manager Vanessa Haroutunian describes the process of working with Hammer to develop the grant, how Hammer's commitment to intergenerational, interdisciplinary conversation cultivated permission for future generations to break boundaries with their artwork, and how her legacy continues to be preserved through the grant's existence. Hammer's mission—to make it easier for self-identified lesbian experimental filmmakers to make work—has been upheld by Queer|Art with the generous support of Florrie Burke and the Hammer estate.
Wearing religious symbols at work in the ECtHR’s judgments
Authors: Sadowski Piotr
Published: November 2021

Freedom of speech and freedom of conscience and religion are essential human rights which are protected, among others, by the ECHR. The number of the European Court of Human Rights’ decisions on wearing religious symbols (in a form of a Christian cross, a Muslim veil or a headscarf) at work remains small. Nevertheless, some interpretation guidelines can be identified in particular on how to ensure that an interference with Article 9 of the 1950 Convention has to be proportionate and “necessary in a democratic society”. Owing to a lack of European-wide consensus on states’ approach to religion, a state exercises a wide margin of appreciation. Nevertheless, a state always has to take into account rights of the others, in particular those who are dependent on (e.g. patience at hospital) employees or are prone to an impact of employees (e.g. pupils and students). Thus, dress codes confirming a secular nature and religious neutrality of a State not always violates Article 9 of the ECHR. Rules apply mainly to public bodies, but a state liability may also be found to private company’s cases. Details of each employment contract and of the employee’s conduct have to be always analysed. The dress code rules applied to man and women and irrespective to their religion, so the Court has not declared it to be discriminatory because of sex or religion of employees.
Alessandro Manzoni: il «reale» e il «possibile» nel dialogo Dell’invenzione
Authors: Fiore Vincenzo
Published: November 2021

Il dialogo Dell’invenzione, pubblicato nel 1850, sembra a prima vista del tutto estraneo all’arco della quasi quarantennale riflessione teorica manzoniana, che sul tema del rapporto fra storia e invenzione, dai cosiddetti Materiali estetici al Discorso del romanzo storico, sfugge sia all’ambito del formularismo pragmatico classicista sia all’opposta opzione romantica. Tale visione critica può intervenire a relegare il dialogo manzoniano al puro settore dei suoi scritti filosofici, e dunque a considerarlo di interesse minore, proprio per il suo oggetto, che è l’ontologia e la gnoseologia rosminiana, discussa dai tre personaggi fittizi di Primo, Secondo e Terzo.

Analisi contrastiva polacco-italiano e traduzione del lessico specialistico sull'esempio della terminologia medica
Authors: Pronińska Aleksandra
Published: November 2021

Analiza kontrastywna polsko-włoska a tłumaczenie leksyki specjalistycznej na przykładzie terminologii medycznej. Artykuł mieści się w nurcie polsko-włoskich badań kontrastywnych ukierunkowanych na badanie zagadnień związanych z przekładem w oparciu o analizę językoznawczą leksyki specjalistycznej. Przedmiotem analizy są terminy medyczne, za pomocą których obydwa języki wyrażają „zapalenie”: polskim analitycznym i w pełni przejrzystym semantycznie terminom (zapalenie płuc, zapalenie jamy ustnej) odpowiadają włoskie, które cechuje mniejsza przejrzystość semantyczna i syntetyczna (jednowyrazowa) struktura z sufiksem ‑ite (polmonite, stomatite). Specyfika porównywanych terminów powoduje, że trudności z ich tłumaczeniem ograniczają się do przekładu na włoski i dotyczą wyboru odpowiedników terminologicznych lub opisowych. Dla przykładu zapalenie płuc może być oddane przy zastosowaniu terminu specjalistycznego - jako polmonite lub przy zastosowaniu odpowiednika opisowego - jako infiammazione/flogosi polmonare i/lub infiammazione dei/ai polmoni). Próba analizy konkretnych przykładów tłumaczeń prowadzi do konkluzji, że wybór jednego z potencjalnie możliwych odpowiedników opisowych może być zarówno wynikiem świadomego i celowego wyboru tłumacza (zastosowania np. eksplicytacji), jak i wynikiem interferencji językowej (kalki struktury polskiej). Wobec trudności związanych z jednoznacznym określeniem czy zastosowane w przekładzie rozwiązanie jest eksplicytacją czy wynikiem interferencji nasuwają się wątpliwości natury metodologicznej odnoszące się do badań nad tzw. uniwersaliami tłumaczeniowymi (do których zaliczana jest m.in. eksplicytacja).
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN FOOTBALL STADIUMS. ARE FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS ALLOWED TO DO MORE OR LESS THAN AN ORDINARY CITIZEN?
Authors: Kiełbasiński Wojciech , Brzeziński Mateusz
Published: November 2021

Football fans support their teams and prepare tifo. They present their points of view in football stadiums. They refer to the history, politics, their opponents and current activities of the club. Unfortunately, often they insult and swear a lot. Sometimes fans preach fascist or racist ideas. Are football fans often allowed to do more or less than an ordinary citizen? How does their behaviour relate to restrictions on freedom of speech? Why do they sometimes avoid punishment? Where is the borderline between freedom of speech and unauthorized tifo? The authors analyse issues related to the behaviour of football fans in the context of freedom of speech and try to answer these questions.
Aportaciones franciscanas al republicanismo político
Authors: Anchústegui Igartua Esteban
Published: November 2021

En el presente artículo pretendemos presentar algunas bases medievales, especialmente franciscanas, del revitalizado republicanismo cívico del siglo XX. Existe un salto injustificado de Roma al Renacimiento que tiene su origen en el olvido y la mirada simplista que Hanna Arendt tiene del pensamiento medieval y del aristotelismo, provocado por los criterios historiográficos de su época. Para ello mostraremos algunas características del pensamiento de este nuevo republicanismo para poder presentar así algunas ideas centrales de cuatro autores franciscanos: Francesc Eiximenis, Buenaventura, Duns Escoto y Alfonso de Castro. Antes intentaremos mostrar la continuidad existente entre Edad Media y Moderna. Con esta aproximación histórica pretendemos analizar que la legítima aspiración de este nuevo republicanismo queda desvirtuada y limitada si deja de lado aportaciones medievales que ayudan a entender más cabalmente la pretensión republicana que, sin rechazar la autonomía del individuo ni el sentido de comunidad, destaca la naturaleza interactiva de la vida social e instiga a perseverar en la búsqueda del bien común
El olvido heideggeriano del ser (como génesis intensiva). A propósito de la disolución fenomenológico-aleteiológica de la physis
Authors: Sáez Rueda Luis
Published: November 2021

El ensayo parte de la concepción heideggeriana del ser como una diferencia de carácter fenomenológico-aleteiológico, es decir, como acontecimiento de “sentido” y de la verdad del ser. El autor defiende que es posible pensar una diferencia óntico-ontológica de carácter genético-intensivo no reductible a la anterior e inherente a la noción de physis. Heidegger, según la tesis central, diluye la segunda en la primera, ofreciendo como única alternativa una comprensión devaluada de la génesis como devenir óntico, alternativa que liga al olvido del ser. Olvida, así, y a su pesar, al ser, comprendido al modo genético y diferencial. Se analiza este olvido en varios contextos: el de la confrontación de Heidegger con Nietzsche, el de su interpretación del devenir y el de su asimilación del idealismo alemán. Al ir caracterizando al ser como génesis son injertados por el autor puntos de vista de G. Simondon, G. Deleuze, Schelling y Hölderlin.
Los refugiados de la pobreza y sus causas de origen: ¿Qué responsabilidades tienen y qué deben hacer de los países menos desarrollados ante la injusticia global?
Authors: Duque Silva Guillermo Andrés
Published: November 2021

Este artículo analiza una teoría inédita sobre el origen de las injusticias globales que considera a los países en desarrollo como unidades ontológicas éticamente responsables. Los estudios de caso empíricos atañen a las relaciones entre empresas multinacionales de Estados desarrollados y Estados de América Latina. Estos casos se analizan a partir de una metodología cualitativa de filosofía política aplicada y corresponden a doce instancias de injusticia juzgadas por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos entre 1980 y 2014 vinculadas a proyectos mega-empresariales. El artículo concluye que las distorsiones en una emergente Ética de la interdependencia global, como el actuar de mala fe de los gobiernos de los países en desarrollo, explica en buena parte los orígenes de la injusta distribución global de la riqueza y de los refugiados económicos que ella produce.

Authors: Leon Carlo Yannick , Schmidt Emilia
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this research is to identify the female representation depicted in the Disney Renaissance and to investigate why Disney characters struggle to claim their equity as women in their society. The research methods used in this study are classified as qualitative and descriptive. The documentation method and taking notes techniques are used to collect data. The research also employs two method concepts to analyze the collected data, including a gender equity approach analysis and Simone de Beauvoir's second-wave feminism theory. The data consists of linguistic units from various Disney Renaissance stories. The writer discovered three parts in the description of female representations based on data analysis of the female representations depicted in Disney Renaissance: rebel, wise, and adventurous women; confident, intelligent, and repellent of domestication women; and masculine, loyal, and ambitious women. Furthermore, data analysis of Disney characters' struggles in claiming their equality as women in their society reveals that they outperform patriarchal expectations, reject domestication, and practice emancipation by appropriating masculine attributes and roles.

BACKGROUND Some patients who undergo pelvic floor reconstruction for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) may experience a de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) postoperatively. We aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of de novo SUI in patients who underwent pelvic floor reconstruction at the national referral hospital in Indonesia.

METHODS This cross-sectional study evaluated 108 patients who underwent pelvic floor reconstruction due to POP between January 2016 and December 2017. Per the inclusion criteria, 75 women were enrolled using a consecutive sampling. The incidence of de novo SUI was determined 6–12 months postoperatively using the Indonesian version of the questionnaire for urinary incontinence diagnosis and objectively using the cough stress test during gynecologic examination after a negative preoperative prolapse reduction stress test.

RESULTS The average age, parity, body mass index, and years since menopause onset were 56.17 (4.67) years, 3.17 (1.07), 28.58 (5.18) kg/m2, and 12.8 (7.0) years, respectively. De novo SUI was seen in 8.0% (6 of 75) patients at 6–7 months postoperatively, with 3 (50.0%) had severe POP and 3 (50.0%) had a mild POP. Most of these patients (4 of 6, 66.7%) had undergone procedures other than colpocleisis for POP reconstruction.

CONCLUSIONS The incidence of de novo SUI after gynecologic surgery for POP at a national referral hospital in Indonesia is 8%. Most patients were aged <60 years, had a parity of <4, were nonobese, were menopausal, and had diabetes.
The English Language Arts hundred years’ war: Subverting the stigma of film in America’s English classroom
Authors: Goldberg Joseph
Published: November 2021

Against the backdrop of the century-long stigma associated with film in America’s English classroom, which persists despite its codification in the English Language Arts (ELA) standards, this study investigated the question: How do American high-school English teachers make sense of and instruct with film? Employing semi-structured interviews with 12 high-school English teachers who instruct with film, from suburban, urban, rural and private school settings, the findings suggest that the stigma staining film in America’s English classroom is systemic. Participants shared their view that film is not an inherently passive medium, and when purposefully and actively facilitated, it possesses unique and efficacious pedagogic promise. Employing strategies typically associated with teaching printed texts, maintaining high classroom expectations, and integrating twenty-first-century pedagogic technologies when teaching with film may allow instructors to fulfil film’s remarkable learning potential, and consequently subvert misperceptions of, malpractices with, and the stigma surrounding film in America’s English classroom.

The paper’s main objective is to investigate the trends of basic science research in India using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. It examines the publication patterns and impact of research productivity of five basic science institutions, i.e., “Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research” (IISER), namely IISER Kolkata, IISER Pune, IISER Mohali, IISER Bhopal, and IISER Thiruvananthapuram. The research output indexed in the SCOPUS bibliographic database of these five established IISERs was obtained from 2015 to 2019. A total number of 7329 research publications were analysed using various scientometric dimensions. This paper makes a concerted effort to present a comprehensive picture of the assessment of research outcomes at the five older IISERs, which are ostensibly India’s most active and prominent basic science research institutions. The findings reveal that these institutions are accountable for important research outcomes, such as a high number of citations, preferences towards open access (OA) publications, a rise in research publication year over year, a strong author network, a high degree of collaboration, and a high impact in terms of other scientometrics indicators. This paper discusses the findings of the research publications on the position of IISERs in basic sciences research and draws some conclusions about their effects.

Ἀργὼ πᾶσι μέλουσα, παρ᾽ Αἰήταο πλέουσα – greckie źródła literackie do poznania mitu o Medei i wyprawie Argonautów po złote runo od VIII w. p.n.e. do III w. p.n.e.
Authors: Dworniak Justyna
Published: November 2021

The myth of Medea and the Argonauts’ voyage to the faraway Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece belongs to the earliest legends of ancient Greece. The narrative elements of the tale would change over time. For almost thirteen centuries, from Homer to the late-antique poem Argonautica Orphica, which yet again retold the heroes’ expedition to Colchis, the legend of the Colchian sorceress and the fifty brave men fascinated ancient poets, historians and tragedians. Hence the paper focuses on the Greek literary sources which conveyed the tale. A detailed discussion of the works aims to highlight the diversity and multiplicity of the myth’s versions as well as outlines the evolution of the legend, whose most celebrated and recognized literary variant is found in Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius.

Published: November 2021

This study evaluates the effect of various binders on the pelletization of raw and torrefied food waste (FW) towards its physical properties, including density, moisture reabsorption, and tensile strength of the formed pellets. Three binders; starch, lignin, and vegetable oil, were used to make the raw and torrefied FW pellets. It was found that the addition of lignin helps to improve the density of both, raw and torrefied FW pellets by 40% for raw FW pellets and up to 27% improvement for the torrefied FW pellets. In addition, increasing the concentration of lignin may also reduce moisture reabsorption from 48% to 40% of raw FW pellets, and the sorption was further reduced for the torrefied FW pellets. The addition of lignin improves the tensile strength, mainly the torrefied FW pellets. Results show that lignin inclusion demonstrates significant enhancement to the physical properties of FW pellets.

Published: November 2021

Imperata Cylindrica (IC) is a solid waste that is readily available throughout the year known as one of the most important weed in the world and frequently causes major disposal issues. As a result, using IC as a low-cost adsorbent is beneficial from both, economic and environmental standpoint to remove colors from wastewater of textile industry. This work studies the reaction optimization of methylene blue (MB) removal using IC by response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM experiments were designed with 4 independent variables (initial adsorbent dosage, initial pH, initial dye concentration, and initial temperature) and 1 response variable (percent removal of MB). According to the pareto figure, the initial pH demonstrated the greatest impact on the percent removal of MB. The RSM data predicted the optimum condition of MB removal up to 86.61% using IC, by utilizing adsorbent dosage of 1.458 g/L, at 42 oC, initial pH of 6.8 and MB concentration of 235 ppm. The chacterization analysis revealed the physicochemical properties of IC in the adsoprtion process.
Bifunctional Materials for CO₂ Adsorption: Short Review
Authors: M. Yusof S. , Teh L. P.
Published: November 2021

In recent years, there has been growing interest in adsorbents with high surface area, high porosity, high stability and high selectivity for CO2 adsorption. By the incorporation of the additive on the supports such as zeolite, silica, and carbon, the physicochemical properties of the adsorbent and CO2 adsorption performance can be enhanced. In this review, we focus on the overview of bifunctional materials (BFMs) for CO2 adsorption. The findings of this study suggests that the high surface area and high porosity of the support provide a good medium for high dispersion and accessibility of additives (amine or metal oxide), enhancing the CO2 adsorption efficiency. The excessive additive however may lead to a decrease of CO2 adsorption performance due to pore blockage and the decrease of active sites for CO2 interactions. The synergistic relationship of the supporting material and additive is significant towards the enhancement of CO2 adsorption.
