Authors: Kaliman Sabrina Judith
Published: December 2024

Aim: To examine different aspects of the evolution and development of the right to life in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Moreover, to analyse certain cases related to the violation of this right and its procedural and substantial aspects.
Methodology: The methods chosen for this article are Documental Analysis and Case Study. To conduct the research, the methodological technique of documental investigation will be used. The objectives will be reached through the examination, reading, and critique analysis of the documents. The methodological technique selected allows through the observation and the analysis of documentation to look back, understand, and interpret the current reality. The subject of study is the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). The main documents are going to be texts of doctrine about this tribunal and the right to life and the case-law of contentious cases of this Court.
Findings: This text establishes theoretical definitions. Furthermore, tries to define the crime of enforced disappearances that have been very important for the development of the right to life in the IACHR and which is a crime against humanity. Other important characteristic of this paper is that it examines the obligation to investigate, the procedural aspect of the right to life, the interpretation of Article 4 of the American Convention of Human Rights (Right to Life) and the proportionality of the use of the force of security forces in relation with the violation of the right to life.
Value: To give important concepts about the study of the right to life taking as case study the evolution and development of this right in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

Published: December 2024

Insights into potential policy outcomes may be biased if based on an unrepresentative selection of case study information. As case studies are a central element of the BESTMAP project, evaluating their representativeness in the wider EU context is one of the major tasks of WP5 - Upscaling. In this Deliverable, we first briefly describe the principles of meta-models of ecosystem services and biodiversity that were developed as part of Task 5.2 to upscale predictions of ecosystem services beyond case studies. Second, we report on the development of a distance metric used to determine case study representativeness, i.e. the degree of similarity in conditions between BESTMAP case studies and NUTS3 regions across Europe. Third, we describe the transferability diagrams that we used to obtain the relationship between the predictive power of the meta-models and the distance metric, which were then used to determine the threshold within the distance metric (similarity of conditions) that corresponds to a model prediction that we considered reliable (R 2>0.5 ). Fourth, for each ecosystem service and biodiversity, we present a series of transferability maps based on the set threshold to identify the transferability potential of BESTMAP models to NUTS3 regions across Europe. Finally, we discuss the limitations and challenges of our approach used to determine case study representativeness and the transferability potential of ecosystem service models.

Objectives: To assess the influence of digital strategies on individual behaviour, considerations, and decisions regarding health issues. To evaluate the impact of digital advertisements on the decision to receive vaccines, take the COVID-19 vaccination as a case report.

Methodology: A structured 5-axes questionnaire was distributed through a Google form and completed by 351 participants. The investigated variables were information, “discomfort, anxiety, and fear,” motivation, reference groups, and the decision to take the vaccine. The reliability analysis was carried out to assess the internal consistency of the study elements. Multicollinearity and multiple regression analyses were utilized to evaluate the research hypothesis.

Results: A positive correlation and robust internal consistency between the variables were confirmed. The overall Cronbach’s alpha (α) is 0.93, indicating a solid association between the variables and the consistency of the measuring scale. The information, emotion, motivation, and reference group have a moderate level of importance with average mean values of 3.61, 3.74, 3.55, and 3.88, respectively. The correlation of the decision to take the vaccine with the information and the emotion variables was the highest (Pearson’s correlation of 0.675 and 0.676, respectively). The motivation and reference groups showed lower associations (Pearson’s correlation of 0.558 and 0.496). The results of the multiple linear regression analysis (α ≤ 0.05) confirm the hypothesis by demonstrating that the independent variables significantly influenced the decision to take the vaccine. The F-value (98.26) and significance level (p < 0.00) provide further validation of the model. Conclusion: Information and emotional concerns significantly impact health decision-making, while motivation and reference groups have a considerable role. It is a warranty of expanding digital strategies to improve health literacy and equity.
Moulin à sucre merveilleux, machine à vapeur parodique : Reinaldo Arenas lecteur baroque d’Alejo Carpentier
Authors: Noël-Ferdinand Malik
Published: December 2024

Reinaldo Arenas n’a eu de cesse de commenter Alejo Carpentier. Inaugurés dans El mundo alucinante (1969), ces commentaires prennent les tours de la parodie de l’œuvre et de la satire du personnage public. Dans El color del verano o Nuevo « Jardín de las Delicias » (1991), Arenas dénude l’esthétique baroque de l’essai, La ciudad de las columnas (1970), et du roman El siglo de las luces (1962). Dans La loma del ángel (1987), la relation intertextuelle avec El reino de este mundo (1949) est plus souterraine : passant du motif d’un moulin à sucre merveilleux à celui d’une machine à vapeur parodique, Arenas y dévoile la mécanique réelle merveilleuse de Carpentier. Dans ce cadre, les textes d’Arenas constituent eux-mêmes de comiques réécritures baroques. L’auteur s’interroge ainsi sur la réception politique des esthétiques baroques et réelles merveilleuses.
La poétique du Mystère dans la composition dramatique et la prose poétique de Faubert Bolivar. Lecture de La Flambeau et de Sainte Dérivée des trottoirs
Authors: Desrivières Jean-Durosier
Published: December 2024

La Flambeau (pièce de théâtre) et Sainte Dérivée des trottoirs (prose poétique) de Faubert Bolivar diffèrent d’un point de vue formel et générique. Néanmoins, les deux créations présentent des thèmes majeurs convergents comme la folie, les expressions singulières de l’intime, de l’extime et du religieux, traduisant ainsi le possible extrême de certaines réalités haïtiennes. Les relations entre personnages, langage (langaj), objets et espaces, dans les deux textes, semblent marquer une certaine rupture avec le réalisme, pour composer parfois avec une impression surréaliste, voire absurde. On relève une poétique de l’ordre du Mystère qui se manifeste dans l’expression de l’indicible à travers la variation du langage, la stratégie de construction et de déconstruction de l’espace réel, imaginaire et symbolique, les traits quasi insaisissables d’une culture syncrétique, individuelle et collective, l’intrusion des invisibles (esprits vodous) et du délire, dans les espaces réels et imaginaires, intimes et extimes. Notre réflexion montre que cette poétique s’inscrit à la fois dans la marge et dans le prolongement de la littérature haïtienne contemporaine.
Quelques questions posées à l’anthropologie médicale par la Guyane
Authors: Benoist Jean
Published: December 2024

La médecine avance très vite sur le front de la connaissance des supports et des effets biologiques de la maladie. Par contre, on sous-estime souvent le fait que la maladie n’est pas seulement un problème individuel, ce qui n’est pas sans conséquence sur l’effectivité de la prise en charge de bien des pathologies. On néglige encore plus souvent son vécu et ses représentations, au sein desquels s’enracinent cependant les conduites des malades face aux offres de soin.Par son milieu géographique, par l’histoire ancienne et récente de son peuplement, par les changements rapides de son système de santé, la Guyane est à cet égard particulièrement concernée par ces questions. Cet article esquisse une présentation des problèmes auxquels devrait s’attaquer une anthropologie médicale en Guyane. La bibliographie signale quelques importants travaux qui vont dans cette direction.
L’invisibilisation de la variation dans certaines théories linguistiques
Authors: Mencé-Caster Corinne
Published: December 2024

Il s’agit d’interroger la place qui se trouve accordée à la variation linguistique dans les théories et ce qu’elle nous révèle de l’idéologie des linguistes concernés. La question de l’invisibilisation de la variation sera donc au cœur de notre réflexion : elle nous permet, d’une part, de décrypter la figure du locuteur qui sous-tend la conceptualisation desdites théories et, d’autre part, de réfléchir aux relations entre système, langue, parole.
Lexicalisation des évènements de déplacement en français martiniquais et en français hexagonal
Authors: François-Haugrin Noémie
Published: December 2024

Cette étude de corpus compare la lexicalisation du déplacement en français martiniquais et en français hexagonal au sein des évènements de déplacement spontané non métaphorique. Les énoncés retenus proviennent de narrations élicitées auprès d’enfants martiniquais de 7 ans (n=16), d’enfants français de 7 ans (n=20), d’adultes martiniquais (n=10) et d’adultes français (n=5). Le codage portait sur le type du verbe, la présence/absence du site, la présence/absence d’une préposition spatiale introduisant le site et, le cas échéant, le type de la préposition spatiale. Au niveau développemental, l’étude met en évidence une tendance des enfants à omettre le site et une préférence pour les verbes déictiques. Au niveau dialectal, les enfants martiniquais omettent le site davantage que leurs pairs français, mais le maintiennent davantage en présence d’un verbe déictique. Enfin, on observe un usage plus fréquent des verbes déictiques chez les adultes français. Il ressort donc que les deux variétés ont des préférences distinctes pour l’encodage de la trajectoire.
Des veuves créoles (1768-2022) en recherche-création : une comédie-ballet féministe martiniquaise décoloniale
Authors: Bénac Karine , Le Guyader Morgane
Published: December 2024

Cet article se propose d’explorer le reenactment/la réécriture/adaptation de la dramaturgie des Veuves créoles, première comédie martiniquaise, anonyme, publiée en 1768, rééditée en 2017 par Julia Prest, mise en scène par moi-même (Karine Bénac) sous le titre Des Veuves créoles en 2022 en recherche-création sur le campus de Schœlcher. Cette pièce, labellisée et subventionnée par la Fondation pour la Mémoire de l’Esclavage est un reenactment qui, intégrant des éléments d’archives et du quadrille créole à sa dramaturgie et adaptant le texte et les personnages, se propose de porter un regard décolonial sur la comédie source du xviiie siècle, en dialogue avec la société martiniquaise d’aujourd’hui, les héritages coloniaux, les traces laissées par les esclavisé·e·s, le regard critique porté par les étudiant·e·s sur ce passé-présent. Cet article s’accompagne d’un film documentaire de Marine Sage, sur le processus de création et l’appropriation de leur rôle par les comédien·ne·s.
Veillées noires in Comparison: Le Mariage de Malice and Quiproquo
Authors: Gyssels Kathleen
Published: December 2024

The article compares two collections of stories. One is by Suzanne Comhaire Sylvain, Le roman de Bouqui (1940), the other by L. G. Damas, Veillées noires (1943). Both have been republished by the same publisher, Leméac (Canada), and from a very limited ‘sample’ (a single tale from each) I will draw out the universal convergences in Caribbean oral literature, as well as some significant divergences. It seems to me that these divergences relate mainly to the representation of the narrator and the posture of the storyteller. All in all, Comhaire-Sylvain remains fairly restrictive about her own interference, whereas the poet Damas allows himself much more poetic license and ‘folkloric’ freedom.
Valeurs sémantiques de quelques auxiliaires de modalité en créole haïtien
Authors: Paul Moles
Published: December 2024

Cet article propose une revisitation des valeurs sémantiques de certaines expressions de modalité en créole haïtien, qui ont fait l’objet de recherches menées d’abord par Sylvain (1936) et ensuite, d’autres chercheurs (Magloire-Holly, 1982 ; Fattier, 2003 ; DeGraff, 2007 ; Glaude, 2009, 2012 ; Valdman, 2015). En partant des limites des réflexions contenues dans ces travaux concernant le sens des modaux dwe, ka, mèt et vle, nous avons montré qu’ils peuvent avoir d’autres valeurs sémantiques qui n’ont pas été signalées dans ces études en étudiant ces auxiliaires dans d’autres contextes linguistiques. En plus de la valeur déontique et épistémique de dwe, celui-ci peut également exprimer la modalité aléthique. Ka peut exprimer non seulement la capacité et la possibilité, mais il peut aussi avoir un sens sporadique. Nous nous sommes également intéressés aux modaux genlè et gendwa, qui n’avaient pas encore été décrits de manière systématique dans la littérature linguistique. Notre étude a montré qu’ils peuvent avoir une valeur épistémique.

Cette proposition revient sur l’écriture de l’ouvrage du romancier Jean-Paul Goux, Les Lampes de Ronchamp, consacré au Musée de la Mine de Ronchamp, rédigé dans le cadre d’une commande du réseau Musées des techniques et cultures comtoises. L’écriture à partir d’un musée propose une variation de la posture d’« écrivain public » et l’auteur, en jouant avec les attentes de la commande, fait du musée un paradigme du rapport au temps, par lequel peut s’élaborer pour le lecteur/visiteur une conscience historique, et avec elle, une formulation de sa propre identité.
New records and new species of the troglobitic genus Xangoniscus (Crustacea: Isopoda: Styloniscidae)
Authors: Monticelli Cardoso Giovanna , Bastos-Pereira Rafaela , Souza Leila Aparecida , Lopes Ferreira Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

New collections from caves in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, have revealed additional occurrences of Xangoniscus species. These findings have led to the identification of previously unknown, taxonomically significant morphological features for the genus, including the presence of a depression on the propodus and an expansion of the carpus in pereopod 6 in males of certain species. This study reports new records of X. aganju and provides updated illustrations of the genus’ type species. Moreover, four new species are described: Xangoniscus paiabare n. sp., collected from caves in the Padre Cave System in Santana municipality; Xangoniscus tymaopeba n. sp., from Serra Solta II and III caves; Xangoniscus ykanhema n. sp., from Google Cave, both in Serra do Ramalho municipality; and Xangoniscus puku n. sp., found in PEA- 445 Cave, in Santa Maria da Vitória municipality, all in Bahia state. The discovery of these new species underscores the remarkable diversity of Xangoniscus in subterranean habitats and highlights the Serra do Ramalho region as a significant center of endemism for the species of this genus. The descriptions of these taxa not only expand the known biodiversity of troglobitic isopods in Brazil but also shed light on their morphological variation, offering valuable insights into the evolutionary adaptations of these cave-dwelling organisms.

Trichoscopic Analysis of Healthy Indian Males for Standardization of the Measurable Parameters: An Observational, Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Asfiya Amina , Pinto Malcolm , Shenoy Manjunath Mala , Hegde Spandana P , Rajeendran Atul , Shafi Fathima
Published: December 2024

Background:

Trichoscopy is a simple, noninvasive tool to help in the diagnosis of various hair and scalp disorders. There is paucity of data on the normal trichoscopic parameters of hair density and diameter in the Indian population.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to establish the trichoscopic patterns of hair and scalp in healthy Indian males and to provide a framework for future reference.

Materials and Methods:

Quantitative trichoscopic analysis using a videodermoscope was done on healthy Indian males with no hair/scalp complaints. Images were taken from four areas: frontal, occipital, and both temporal areas, under 20x and 70x magnification. The following parameters were analyzed by the software: hair density and thickness; percentage of thin, medium, and thick hairs; percentage of anagen and telogen hairs; vellus hair density and hair count; follicular unit density; percentage of follicular hair units; single, double, triple, and four hairs per follicular unit; and distribution and pattern of scalp vasculature.

Results:

A total of 120 healthy males were recruited in the study with a mean age of 24.6 years. The hair density was the highest in the frontal and occipital areas, while the hair thickness was similar in all the sites evaluated. The follicular unit density was the highest in the frontal and occipital areas with the temporal area having the highest number of single hair follicular units. The scalp vasculature varied with the area examined, the most common pattern being the pin-point type.

Limitations:

It was a hospital-based study with a relatively small sample size. The software used in the study cannot detect gray hairs.

Conclusion:

Our study has attempted to fill the gaps in the medical literature by proposing comparable reference values for trichoscopy in healthy Indian males.
Dermatologist Driven Aesthetic Nail Enhancement
Authors: Bansal Shikha , Nanda Soni , Bansal Sonal , Grover Chander
Published: December 2024

Background:

Nail aesthetic procedures so far have been a neglected domain of nail medicine. With changing times, more people are getting sensitized towards nail enhancement; hence, there is an ever-increasing need for dermatologist driven aesthetic nail procedures.

Discussion:

The management of various nail disorders takes a long time and might not be very rewarding with regard to complete aesthetic improvement. The aesthetic procedures can be utilized to camouflage and provide some relief to the patient. These procedures could also be a treatment modality for various common conditions like brittle nails, onychotillomania, and other habit tic deformities. The aesthetic procedures that we discussed in this article include nail peels, gel nails, and lasers for aesthetic indications. Many side effects of these procedures have been reported in the literature. This can be attributed to the fact that these procedures are currently being done at salons and not by dermatologists.

Conclusion:

Nail peels are a useful modality for nail surface irregularities and can be safely recommended. Gel nail technique is simple and when done by a trained person can be used to benefit patients with superficial nail plate abnormalities to improve their quality of life. The usage of lasers in the aesthetic improvement of nails is still in a nascent stage.

A narrative review on the role of Ksheera Ghrita Abhyasa as a Rasayana in Manasaroga
Authors: Manjunath Suhas , Shreevathsa
Published: December 2024

Globally, neuropsychiatric disorders account for 14% of the disease burden, emphasizing the need for preventive and curative approaches. Rasayana Chikitsa, particularly Ksheera ghrita, described in Charaka Samhita as the best Rasayana, plays a significant role. This study intends to explore and synthesize information about Ksheera Ghrita’s use in promotive, preventive, and therapeutic aspects of Manasaroga. Classical texts (Brihatrayis and Laghutrayis) and scientific databases (PubMed and Cochrane Library) were reviewed. Studies on the use of unprocessed Ghrita and Ksheera in Rasayana therapy and their potentiality in preventive, promotive, and therapeutic psychiatry were selected. Initially, their role in managing Manasa Vikara, such as Unmada, was analyzed. Contemporary research on milk and ghee’s biochemical properties, including their effects on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and gut microbiome, was also considered, and the review was conducted. Oxidative stress, linked to various diseases, can be mitigated by antioxidants in milk and ghee. Both surpass the BBB, enhancing brain health and expressing their Rasayana properties. Regular consumption of Ksheera and Ghrita shows promise for improving cognition, memory, and mental well-being. While their potential to prevent and manage psychiatric disorders is supported by Ayurvedic and scientific perspectives, furthermore, research studies are needed to confirm their clinical efficacy.
Ethics in Medicine Applied to All Medical Streams
Authors: Nayak Chaturbhuja
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Ethics in medicine is an important topic, especially today’s culturally diverse healthcare environment. Medical ethics mainly deals with the moral principles that registered medical practitioners in dealings with their patients, colleagues, and the state. All doctors are expected to strictly adopt the required ethical practices to make the health profession acceptable to the public. Besides following ethics in practice, a doctor should follow ethical guidelines as a teacher during classroom teachings, apart from how to deal with the students inside and outside the classrooms. The researchers, particularly the novice ones, must adhere to ethical practices while conducting research studies, particularly in in vivo models, including human beings. The authors, while documenting the outcomes of their research studies, conducted by them, must follow the ethical guidelines prescribed by the stalwarts/organizations, to make their manuscripts acceptable for publication. This article deals with the ethical guidelines that practitioners/clinicians, teachers, researchers, and authors should follow while working in their respective domains.
Vikaṅkata: An Important Drug with Religious and Medical Significance
Authors: Palakuru Hema Raju , Kanagaraj Vairamuthu , Vallepu Nagaraju , Gotru Asritha , Kollapureddi Bhargavi
Published: December 2024

Abstract

The wooden implements used in the Vedic rituals are made from specific kinds of wood like aśvatta, Khadira, nyagrodhā, palāśa, vahni, etc. Among these, vikaṅkata (Flacourtia indica (Burm.f.) Merr.), commonly known as the Governor’s plum, is notable with equal medicinal and religious significance. The ladle used to offer ghee to the sacrificial fire is made of vikaṅkata wood; hence, it derives the name “sacred wood (sruvāvṛkṣa).” It is embedded with ethnomedicinal importance in the treatment of various diseases since ages. The fruit is edible with high nutritive value. In this review, the collation of information about gaṇa vargīkaraṇa, synonyms, guṇa, karma, and indications of vikaṅkata is done through vedās, bṛhattrayīs, and nighaṇṭūs. It is the need of the hour that proper scientific validation by researchers should pave the way for the exploration of the potencies of many drugs. This literature study provides an extensive source of information for further research purposes.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

The aim of this article is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil, plain olive oil, and chlorhexidine gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in chronic periodontitis.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred and twenty patients with chronic periodontitis were included in this study and assigned into three groups. In Group I, Group II, and Group III, SRP was done followed by subgingival application of ozonated olive oil, plain olive oil, and chlorhexidine gel in Group I, II, and III, respectively, at baseline 7, 14, and 21 days. Recordings of clinical parameters (gingival index [GI], probing pocket depth [PPD], clinical attachment level [CAL]) were done at baseline and one month.

Results:

The mean GI, PPD, and CAL scores at baseline for Group I was 2.78 ± 0.42, 2.78 ± 0.42, and 2.66 ± 0.38; for Group II was 2.64 ± 0.39, 6.40 ± 0.50, and 6.40 ± 0.50; and for Group III was 6.00 ± 0.00, 6.40 ± 0.50, and 6.40 ± 0.50, and the scores after one month for Group I was 1.10 ± 0.38, 0.21 ± 0.07, and 0.07 ± 0.05; for Group II was 0.05 ± 0.05, 5.40 ± 0.50, and 5.75 ± 0.44; and for Group III was 5.00 ± 0.00, 5.75 ± 0.44, and 5.28 ± 0.45, with the level of significance being (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The ozonated olive oil and chlorhexidine gel have shown significant improvement in periodontal health compared to plain olive oil. Ozonated olive oil can be used as local drug delivery (LDD), an adjunct to SRP in chronic periodontitis which is safe and well accepted by patients without any noticeable side effects.

Authors: Baş Murat , Sari Salim Sercan , Kahraman Tevhit
Published: December 2024

Bireylerin yaşadığı finansal stres iş ve aile hayatı arasındaki dengeyi değiştirerek yaşam doyumu
üzerinde etkide bulunabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı finansal stres, yaşam doyumu ve iş-aile çatışması
arasındaki ikili ilişkileri incelemek ve finansal stresin yaşam doyumu üzerine etkisinde iş-aile çatışmasının
aracılık rolünün olmadığını tespit etmektir. Bu kapsamda Erzincan ilinde görevli 214 banka çalışanından
anket yöntemiyle verilere ulaşılmıştır. Bu veriler SPSS 27, AMOS 24 ve SPSS PROCESS MACRO
programlarından faydalanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, finansal stres düzeyinin
yaşam doyumunu negatif ve iş-aile çatışmasını pozitif etkilediği, iş-aile çatışması ile yaşam doyumu
arasında ise negatif ilişki bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, finansal stres düzeyinin yaşam doyumu
üzerine etkisinde iş-aile çatışmasının aracılık rolünün bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak finansal
stresin iş-aile çatışmasını artırarak yaşam doyumunu düşürdüğü gösterilmiştir. İş yerinde yaşanan stres
yönetimi, iş-aile dengesine ve çalışanların refahına yansıyabilmektedir. Yöneticilere, çalışanların finansal
stresini en alt düzeye indirecek ve iş-aile çatışmasını azaltacak yaklaşımlar benimsemeleri önerilmektedir
Temas e propostas para a catequese permanente no ano jubilar
Authors: Schmitt Paulo Stippe
Published: December 2024

O jubileu que será celebrado em 2025 coloca toda a Igreja em festa e diz respeito a todas as dinâmicas da comunidade eclesial, incluindo a catequese. Esta reflexão aponta pistas para o fazer catequético no ano jubilar, especialmente no campo da catequese permanente, que atinge toda a comunidade. A primeira parte deste artigo aponta para o contexto bíblico e histórico do jubileu, seu valor teológico e simbólico, sempre em relação com o modo como a catequese pode se valer destes elementos para organizar caminhos de formação nas comunidades, evidenciando temas como a alegria, o sacramento da Reconciliação, as peregrinações. Num segundo momento, após breve reflexão sobre o tema da esperança, seguindo o lema do jubileu 2025, oferece-se algumas pistas de ação às comunidades e aos catequistas para que se experimente com maior profundidade o ano santo. Sugerem-se momentos formativos teórico-práticos que, em forma de eventos ou de caminhos de formação continuada de tipo bíblico, doutrinal, celebrativo e caritativo, possibilitem aos membros da comunidade uma frutuosa experiência jubilar.
Fraternidade Cristã e Ecologia Integral no Papa Francisco
Authors: Boccato de Almeida André Luiz , Camargo Julian , Lupeke Prosper
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo analisará o tema da fraternidade cristã e a ecologia integral no Papa Francisco, a partir de uma abordagem teológica de um novo humanismo que brota deste pontificado que tem a sua fonte da perspectiva cristã.  Propõe-se destacar a centralidade de uma visão humanista centrada na respeito à criação, à casa comum, ao planeta, a todos os seres que habitam e se se relacionam com o ser humano. Este vive uma crise de convivência e de aceitação de que não está no centro de um modo único. O ser humano ocupa sim, a centralidade no plano da criação, mas desde que assuma com responsabilidade e ética o cuidado e promova o bem comum, contudo, neste artigo, se discutirá os limites desta realidade. A reflexão se conduzirá mediante três partes. Na primeira, serão apresentados os grandes desafios contemporâneos à fraternidade humana que impactam diretamente e indiretamente a boa convivência de todos os seres entre si. Na segunda, se procurará analisar o sentido do humanismo cristão na reflexão teológica. Nesta se compreenderá a importância de um posicionamento que denuncie um paradigma que pode conduzir a humanidade a uma deterioração do sentido de convivência e de fraternidade. Por fim, se refletirá a emergência do novo humanismo inaugurado no atual pontificado do Papa Francisco com sua proposta de recuperar o verdadeiro sentido do cristianismo enquanto fonte de sentido para uma ecologia de respeito e cuidado com a casa comum. Objetiva-se, com este artigo, apresentar a íntima relação entre a questão da fraternidade e da ecologia de viés cristão, em meio à complexa realidade atual. Da teologia, se pode captar a relevância de revisitar as fontes com uma hermenêutica que integre, associe e recepcione a questão socioambiental na atualidade.
Educación sexual para las infancias con discapacidad: sexualidad sin capacitismo, adultocentrismo ni estereotipos de género
Authors: Lara Trenado María Schoenstatt
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación busca problematizar la figura de las infancias con discapacidad en el acceso a la educación sexual y el ejercicio de los derechos sexuales. Esto porque parece que los esfuerzos por garantizar los derechos en tema de sexualidad a las personas con discapacidad, muchas veces suponen a un sujeto que se encuentra en etapa adulta. Esta situación trae como consecuencia que a las infancias con discapacidad se les invisibilice cuando de sexualidad se habla. Para ello, el texto abordará los conceptos: infancia, discapacidad, capacitismo, adultocentrismo y estereotipos de género para mostrar cómo éstos acaban por fundamentar los mitos sobre la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad afectando su acceso a la educación sexual desde la infancia. Por último, se hablará de las pautas que supondría educar en sexualidades a las infancias con discapacidad, así como una crítica sobre los presupuestos que se tienen sobre la misma educación sexual, dando una muestra de cómo las infancias con discapacidad ejercen sus derechos sexuales en la cotidianeidad.
STOP-ASI: Propuesta de intervención psicoeducativa para prevenir el abuso sexual en niños de primaria
Authors: Peña-Muñante Gonzalo Sebastián
Published: December 2024

El abuso sexual infantil es un problema social que provoca grandes daños psicológicos y emocionales en las víctimas, pero también en las familias y profesores de estos niños, que muchas veces no saben cómo actuar. Por esta razón, el presente capítulo propone un programa de intervención para prevenir el abuso sexual infantil en la provincia de Almería (España). El programa está diseñado en tres módulos: uno para padres y profesores, otro para niños y un tercero para que padres e hijos pongan en práctica lo aprendido. Los objetivos incluyen sensibilizar a los adultos sobre el abuso sexual, dotarlos de herramientas de comunicación para hablar con los niños sobre sexualidad, educar a los niños sobre sexualidad y cómo detectar el abuso, y proporcionar conocimiento sobre recursos de apoyo en casos de abuso. Se establecen indicadores tanto para una evaluación formativa continua como para una evaluación sumativa al final del programa. Se utilizan cuestionarios, escalas y entrevistas para evaluar el conocimiento, habilidades y actitudes de los participantes. Finalmente, se destaca la importancia de la propuesta psicoeducativa para prevenir el abuso sexual infantil, así como la necesidad de abordar retos como la aplicación práctica de los conocimientos, el uso de enfoques innovadores, la consideración de posibles consecuencias negativas y la inclusión de niños con necesidades especiales.

Published: December 2024

Este estudio se enfoca en analizar la educación sexual en adolescentes dentro del contexto familiar, con el objetivo de identificar el nivel de conocimiento de los padres para proporcionar esta educación, así como la influencia de la cultura en la educación sexual de los adolescentes. Además, se busca comprender el nivel de comunicación entre padres e hijos sobre este tema y cómo los padres transfieren su responsabilidad de educación a los adolescentes. La metodología utilizada se basa en el supuesto de que los tabúes sociales, el temor, el desconocimiento y la vergüenza son barreras comunes para tratar temas de sexualidad en la familia. Se emplea un diseño de investigación fenomenológica empírica para explorar las perspectivas de los participantes y comprender las experiencias compartidas en relación con la educación sexual. Se destaca el enfoque cualitativo para examinar las percepciones y experiencias de los individuos en profundidad, especialmente cuando el tema no ha sido ampliamente explorado en un grupo social específico.

Authors: Briceño Nuñez Chess Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

Este capítulo examina la compleja interacción entre estereotipos de género, culturales y elección de idiomas en el contexto universitario. Se aborda desde diversas perspectivas teóricas, incluyendo la socialización de género, la performatividad de género, el contacto lingüístico y cultural, y la identidad lingüística. Se detalla la metodología utilizada en un estudio cuantitativo realizado en tres universidades públicas de Sao Paulo, Brasil, explorando las asociaciones entre autopercepción de género y elección de idiomas. Se discuten los resultados, resaltando la presencia de estereotipos de género arraigados en la elección de idiomas, así como la influencia de estereotipos culturales y motivaciones diferenciadas según el género. Se concluye destacando la relevancia de considerar estos factores en la formulación de políticas educativas inclusivas y se señalan posibles direcciones para futuras investigaciones.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND COMPLEXITY OF PROVING FRAUD IN INSURANCE
Authors: Višća Nedžad
Published: December 2024

The aim of the paper is to theoretically and through examples from practice point out the problem of insurance fraud and try to influence the prevention and possibility of reducing it, and to exchange experience between insurance and other institutions in this matter. Insurance fraud attempts, in addition
to causing great economic and financial damage to insurance companies, also cause damage to the state and society in which they occur. The most common cases of fraud occur on the basis of automobile insurance, both on the basis of mandatory automobile insurance and on the basis of contractual comprehensive vehicle insurance.When processing claims for compensation with attempted fraud, trained personnel who process the claims are very important, and it often happens that in addition to professional personnel and technical experts, it is necessary to include experts from other professional disciplines and knowledge in order to prove fraud either in court or extrajudicial proceedings.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of artificial insemination on cattle farms. For this purpose, a personal survey was conducted with 100 farm owners who breed cattle and have their animals artificially inseminated. In the farms studied, the average farm age was 16.5 years, the age of the farmers was 49±1.1 years, Number of cows per bull in farms was 9.1 head. The annual milk production was 19.2 tons. 40% of the farms are combined farms and 60% are dairy farms. 69% of the barns are closed and 31% are semi-open barns. 77% of breeders use artificial insemination constantly and 23% occasionally. They have found that milk yield has increased partially (53%) or sufficiently (47%) thanks to artificial insemination. 65% of breeders stated that their farms had low fertility because they “did not inseminate at the right time of oestrus”. Breeders attributed untimely insemination to workload (66%), lack of information (17%), lack of coordination (11%) and negligence (6%). The following problems were mentioned when carrying out artificial insemination: “the application is expensive” (81 %), “oestrus cannot be controlled in time” (16 %) and “the animals are not inseminated in time” (3 %). The diseases mentioned as affecting fertility on the farms were metritis (51 %), dystocia (17 %), placental abnormalities (12 %), ovarian cysts (12 %) and prolapse (3 %). In line with these results, it is recommended to train breeders in artificial insemination and heat detection, to provide technical support and to reduce application costs.
