Published: December 2021

Pyrite copper-zinc (sulfide) and polymetallic ores in Russia are complex and refracto-ry mineral raw materials. The main processing technology for such ores is flotation. Currently, the improvement of the flotation technology of such mineral raw materials is carried out in several directions. It has been established by the practice of enrichment of copper-zinc ores that obtaining high-quality zinc and pyrite concentrates is impossible without the use of various modifiers in the practice of flotation of sphalerite and pyrite. Such reagents are copper (II), zinc and iron (II) sulfates in an alkaline lime environment. Therefore, studies were carried out to float sphalerite and pyrite in an alkaline lime medium with the addition of one of the indicat-ed sulfates to the mineral flotation operation. The effect of each of the sulfates of copper (II), zinc and iron (II) on the flotation of sphalerite and pyrite was studied during flotation of the mineral with butyl xanthate and dithiophosphate at pH = 8, 10, and 12. The aim of this work was to study the effect of sulfhydryl collectors in the presence of copper sulfates , zinc and iron for flotation of sphalerite and pyrite with a size class (-0.074 + 0.044 mm) from one of the Rus-sian deposits.

A Cognitive Stylistic Analysis of Catharsis Used by Husseini Preachers
Authors: Kadhim Basim Jubair , Yahya Al-Hilo Mujtaba Mohammedali
Published: December 2021

This study deals with catharsis as a cognitive stylistic device used to expel fear and anxiety for the sake of changing the audience toward better by preachers in Husseini discourse – Hussein is a grand Shiite Muslim leader. It aims to explicate the exploitation of catharsis by Husseini preachers and the conceptualization of such phenomenon by the audience. The study adapts the emotion model developed by Kovecses (2000); five stages are utilized: cause of the emotion, emotion, control, loss of control, and behavioral response. Twenty Husseini sermons are analyzed according to the stages of the model. Consequently, the study has come up with considerable conclusions. Chief among them are: Husseini preachers pragmatically use prosodic features to convey catharsis. A further conclusion is that catharsis is utilized by Husseini preachers as a strategy to teach the audience all the objectives of the Husseini revolution and to connect the objectives to this age for the sake of reform, using the fear that can modulate the human behavior.
The Depiction of Heaven and Hell in the Karmawibangga Reliefs of Borobudur Temple: An Overview of Character Education
Authors: Iswahyudi Iswahyudi
Published: December 2021

Karmawibhangga comes from the words karma and wibhangga. If karma can literally be interpreted as actions that come from causes and cause effects, then wibhangga is a designation for one of the holy books in Buddhism (Buddhist scripture). Literally karma can be interpreted as actions that come from causes and cause effects. In Buddhism, karma is the basic doctrine formulated and taught by Siddhartha Gautama. According to this doctrine, every living being has karma, both generated by himself and inherited from his ancestors. It is this karma that has caused samsara and is a barrier to attaining heaven or nirvana. Births in heaven and in hell seem to be at the core and there is a belief that some kind of hell is known in written sources both inscriptions and ancient manuscripts in Java. The state of life in heaven is marked by the kalpawrksa tree flanked by kinaras.
Challenges of Human Resources Management in Project-based Organizations
Authors: Jawad Attaullah , Noori Hameedullah
Published: December 2021

Organizations are constantly under the influence of the environment they are operating in. The Industrial Revolution necessitated the establishment of long-lasting organizations with an emphasis on the stability of activities. However, undermining this principle, today’s businesses and organizations have moved towards projectification. This has demoted permanent and long-lasting activities in task-oriented organizations and transformed the meaning of many concepts such as financial management, human resource management, and knowledge management. Human resources management (HRM) is one of the areas of management that has undergone major changes in project-based organizations (PBOs). Since this new nature of organizations and businesses has challenged the stability of HRM, PBOs must plan and develop alternative methods for HRM. This paper hence aims to introduce the concept of PBOs and different types of PBOs and then discuss how this new organizational structure affects and challenges HRM.

Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa vinculada a um Projeto de Pesquisa aprovado pelo PPG/PROPESQ Edital N° 01/2019 - Apoio a grupos Emergentes para Criação de Programas de Pós-Graduação. O objetivo foi realizar um diagnóstico das práticas pedagógicas antirracistas inclusivas nos contextos escolares da educação básica da região do Seridó/RN. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratória, contou com a participação de dezesseis escolas de distintas cidades do Seridó/RN que responderam dois questionários online. Um dos questionários foi destinado para os coordenadores das instituições de ensino, onde obteve-se resposta de cinquenta docentes. Além da análise das respostas dos questionários, as discussões desse texto se ancoram na Lei 10.639/2003 e o Plano Nacional de Implementação das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana (BRASIL, 2009). Os resultados indicam a ausência de estudos específicos que favoreçam a inclusão de práticas pedagógicas antirracista no contexto investigado; por conseguinte, apresentam a necessidade da oferta de cursos de Pós Graduação que ofereça informações/conhecimentos para um melhor entendimento do racismo, da História da África, Culturas Afro-Brasileiras e das trajetórias dos movimentos sociais negros.
O EVENTO “ENSINO REMOTO”: percepções valorativas de docentes do CERES
Authors: Nascimento Ilderlândio Assis de Andrade , Silva Yasmin Rayane Mariz da
Published: December 2021

A pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) fez com que instituições de ensino adotassem novas conexões e outras posturas quanto ao ensino-aprendizagem, configurando-se em uma mudança temporária para um modo de ensino alternativo. No caso específico da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), na busca por meios/estratégias para tentar sanar prejuízos no que compreende o ensino e a aprendizagem, foi adotado o Ensino Remoto, com aulas síncronas e assíncronas. Diante disso, analisamos as vantagens, desvantagens e as valorações dos docentes do Centro de Ensino Superior do Seridó (CERES/UFRN) acerca do ensino remoto. Esta pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, tendo em vista a compreensão e a explicação dos dados em seu contexto macro e microssocial. Como instrumento de produção de dados, utilizamos questionários on-line com questões abertas e fechadas, tendo em vista atingir um número representativo de docentes colaboradores. Os resultados mostram várias vantagens e desvantagens, além de valorações diferentes acerca do Ensino Remoto. As vantagens constatadas levam em conta a realidade vivida pelo docente, ou seja, são pontos de vista que consideram suas condições de vida. Já as desvantagens, ao contrário das vantagens, são percebidas não do ponto de vista do docente, mas do lugar do discente, pois, ao que parece, os docentes levam em conta a realidade experienciada pelos discentes. Além disso, os docentes, ao avaliarem o Ensino Remoto, levam em conta uma realidade mais geral, que envolve aspectos socioeconômicos, institucionais, interacionais e de aprendizagem.
Creative Destruction – An Inevitable Reality for the Financial Services Sector in Zambia?
Authors:   ZCAS Professional Studies, Lusaka, Zambia, Kaombe Billy
Published: December 2021

The financial services sector in Zambia has become increasingly exposed to the ever-growing challenges posed by mobile network operators (MNOs). The introduction of mobile money by MNOs has witnessed increased usage of mobile money services. During the same period, there has been a noticeable decline in the usage of digital banking services. The research study therefore sought to establish whether there was a correlation between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services in Zambia. The study was quantitative in nature and was based on secondary data sources. Data from 19 of the 21 digital financial services providers in Zambia were analysed using times series trend analysis and simple linear regression analysis. In order to establish whether a correlation existed between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services in Zambia, a t- test was conducted. This acted as a guide to the decision as to whether or not to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The study failed to reject the null hypothesis and therefore concluded that no correlation existed between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services. However, the study expounded the research results in terms of Schumpeter, Christensen and Foster’s ideas on disruptive innovation.

Uruguay y la necesidad de modernizar su estructura institucional para desarrollar su estrategia de inserción comercial internacional. ¿Existe hoy una estructura institucional abocada a la inserción económica-comercial internacional del país?
Authors: Martínez Arteaga Manuel , Mimbacas Blanco Agustín
Published: December 2021

En Uruguay existe una estructura institucional dedicada a la inserción económica-comercial internacional, la cual ha estado, en los últimos 30 años, fuertemente influenciada por nuestra presencia en el Mercosur. El diseño institucional de la política comercial externa constituye uno de los pilares sobre los cuales se sostiene una estrategia de inserción internacional de un país. La política comercial externa no puede estar ajena a las instituciones y procesos que permiten darle forma. Importan los contenidos de una política, pero también los aspectos formales que permitan el fluir de esos contenidos. Para un país del tamaño de Uruguay, el desarrollo está íntimamente ligado a cómo se logre insertar en otros mercados.
Además, Uruguay necesita sustentar su inserción económica-comercial en base a acuerdos cuya naturaleza jurídica e institucional le permita desplegar una política comercial externa proactiva y dinámica que impacte, de manera positiva, en la competitividad.
A raíz de los magros resultados que ha obtenido el bloque regional a lo largo de su historia en materia de agenda comercial externa, y, a la luz, de un cambio de gobierno en el Uruguay, desde marzo de 2020, se percibe que el país se encuentra en un punto de quiebre que puede generar nuevas oportunidades. Es por eso que, en esta investigación, hemos decidido ahondar en cuál es la arquitectura institucional que tenemos y qué necesidad de modernización y adaptación requiere para poder ser eficientes, dinámicos, proactivos y lograr trabajar de manera coordinada.

The Persuasion Knowledge Model Within Instagram Advertisements
Authors: Miksa Natalia , Hodgson Robert
Published: December 2021

Abstract

The aim of this research was to find a correlation between the Persuasion Knowledge Model and Instagram Advertisements. Past research has primarily focused on this model on other forms of media such as television, radio, newspaper, etc. Additionally, the ages studied have been over the age of 30 as well as not focused within a certain geological demographic. For this study, participants were residents of Pennsylvania who vary in age between 18-25 years old. Using a survey, statistical analysis, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Analysis test (PCC test), this study measured each of the 49 participants’ persuasion knowledge and correlated it to the advertisements chosen in the survey. The analyses found that those with lower persuasion knowledge were more likely to select an advertisement with less text variance and influential text. Further, a new understanding was found that showed a slightly negative correlation due to the PCC test, but the correlation was not statistically significant. Therefore, the findings of this research study refuted the initial hypothesis and other studies conducted in the field of persuasion knowledge.
Analyzing Educational Methods Regarding Human Trafficking Awareness Preferred by Students
Authors: Gamez Melissa , Poole Jennifer
Published: December 2021

Human Trafficking is the emerging social-safety issue surrounding most communities across the globe. Unfortunately, due to it’s untraceable nature, and free victims fearing to go public with information, human trafficking is not often discussed or warned against. The purpose of this study is to target local students from Central Florida through analyzing their preferred approaches of education regarding the basis of human trafficking. The method involved a completely anonymous online survey with ten specific questions distributed to high school and college students from across six schools in addition to interviews with two adults actively engaged in the cause of human trafficking and three chosen student participants. The questionnaire sought to collect students’ passionate opinions on handling the teaching of difficult social troubles such as human trafficking. A total of 123 respondents completed the survey; 44.7% particularly desired annual presentations, 37.4% chose the inclusion of content in classes already required, and 9.8% selected mandated online courses. Interviews revealed that educational methods should not be prioritized, but instead the initiative or beginning force in means to widely spread accurate truths about human trafficking. Overall, these students from Central Florida demonstrated that in order to promote human trafficking awareness, productive conversations throughout schools as well as small incentives such as visual posters, pamphlets or resourceful packets are enough to secure an increase in knowledge of the dangers and commonality of human trafficking.

Authors: Shukla Divya , Ostrin Lisa
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how the visual activity of highschool students in Houston changed due to quarantine and online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether these behaviors were different between myopes and non-myopes.

Methods: Thirty-one participants (16.3±0.8 years, 8 females), including 12 myopes and 8 non-myopes, wore a Clouclip and Actiwatch for a week. The Clouclip records working distance and the Actiwatch measures light exposure, physical activity, and sleep duration. A questionnaire was also completed regarding demographics, ocular history, and visual behaviors.

Results: Data showed that myopic participants engaged in near work (working distances of 10 to <60 cm) for 8.4±2.6 hours on a week day and 6.5±2.1 hours on a weekend day. Non-myopic participants engaged in near work for 6.1±2.7 hours on a week day and 4.5±1.9 hours on a weekend day. While weekend near work was significantly different between refractive error groups (P<.05), weekday near work (P=.08) was not. There were no differences between refractive error groups for daily light exposure (P = .89), time outdoors (P = .44), or sleep duration (P = .80).

Conclusions: There was no significant change in sleep duration and physical activity regardless of refractive error over the pandemic, while results revealed a significant decrease in outdoor light exposure and the increase in near and intermediate work, especially with electronic devices such as the computer.
Efficacy of Softball Face Masks at Reducing Linear and Rotational Head Acceleration
Authors: Burroughs Kacie , Hodgson Robert
Published: December 2021

This research study looked at the efficacy of infield softball face masks at reducing concussion risk. The primary goal of this research was to contrast head accelerations experienced during softball impacts for different brands of softball face masks. In order to achieve this goal, a surrogate headform equipped with different brands of face masks was impacted at a constant impact location and ball speed. The resulting headform accelerations (linear and rotational) were collected with a Vernier accelerometer upon each impact and analyzed. The results of the study showed that all tested brands of face masks were successful at reducing head acceleration severity. Moreover, significant differences in performance were observed between the different brands of face masks. One can conclude from this research that particular brands of face masks can more effectively reduce concussion risk because they better reduce head acceleration values. Due to the study results, softball players may have a better understanding of face mask performance, which could lead to higher mask implementation in the sport and an overall reduction in softball-related concussion occurrence.
The Association Between Sports, Body Image, and Eating Disorders of Males Teens at Eastside Catholic
Authors: Huang Ruoya , McNesby Stephanie
Published: December 2021

In the past 25 years, the number of males who are dissatisfied with their bodies increased threefold. This is prevalent especially in the athletic field, where different physique expectations are closely associated with performance. Heightened focus on dietary rules and fitness level cause males to struggle with body dissatisfaction and shame and increase the risk of them developing eating disorders (ED), some of which are the most fatal mental illnesses. Many disordered eating behaviors stem from negative self-perceptions, which start to develop as early as the beginning of grade school and intensifies during pubertal development. However, most studies that examine this issue either looks at female college athletes who have a heavy exercise load and pressure from society on their physiques or focuses on social factors of peer pressure, family influence, and beauty standard. Therefore, it is imperative to determine whether sports participation is positively correlated with the rapidly growing rate of body image issues and ED symptoms in adolescent boys to help address them promptly and prevent severe and lasting damages. This quantitative case study conducted on male teens at Eastside Catholic High School (ECHS) found positive correlations between aesthetic/strength sports, body image issues, and higher ED risks, suggesting that athletic involvement plays a greater role in a person’s physical perception and mental health than body weight does. The conclusions inform education institutions and guardians of the more effective way to detect male adolescents’ body image issues and eating disorder symptoms, helping to prevent or alleviate mental illnesses.
Daily Cryptocurrency Returns Forecasting and Trading via Machine Learning
Authors: Falcon Andrew , Lyu Tianshu
Published: December 2021

We execute a comparative analysis of machine learning models for the time-series forecasting of the sign of next-day cryptocurrency returns. We begin by compiling a proprietary dataset that encompasses a wide array of potential cryptocurrency valuation factors (price trends, liquidity, volatility, network, production, investor attention), subsequently identifying and evaluating the most significant factors. We apply eight machine learning models to the dataset, utilizing them as classifiers to predict the sign of next day price returns for the three largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization: bitcoin, ethereum, and ripple. We show that the most significant valuation factors for cryptocurrency returns are price trend variables, seven and thirty-day reversal, to be specific. We conclude that support vector machines result in the most accurate classifications for all three cryptocurrencies. Additionally, we find that boosted models like AdaBoost and XGBoost have the poorest classification accuracy. At length, we construct a probability-based trading strategy that secures either a daily long or short position on one of the three examined cryptocurrencies. Ultimately, the strategy yields a Sharpe of 2.8 and a cumulative log return of 3.72. On average, the strategy’s log returns outperformed standalone investments in all three cryptocurrencies by a factor of 5.64, and Sharpe ratios more than threefold.
Uma Reflexão Inicial sobre o Processo de Tradução/Revisão de um Texto Produzido por uma pessoa Surda em Português Escrito
Authors: Miranda Christianne Câmara Lopes Albuquerque , Gonçalves José Luiz Vila Real , Rodrigues Carlos Henrique
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, discute-se o processo de tradução/revisão de textos de pessoas surdas, produzidos em português escrito como segunda língua, por profissionais tradutores e intérpretes de Libras-português (TILSP), por um lado, e, por outro, por revisores que não dominam a Libras. A questão foi proposta a partir da constatação empírica de que a tradução/revisão de textos escritos por pessoas surdas, muitas vezes, é solicitada aos TILSP, os quais costumam não se considerar devidamente habilitados para essa tarefa. Diante disso, considerou-se relevante analisar como se dá a atuação de TILSP e de revisores durante o processo de tradução/revisão dos textos de surdos. Para tanto, utilizam-se os dados de rastreamento ocular (eye tracking) decorrentes de um experimento-exploratório conduzido com esses dois grupos. O objetivo foi verificar qual grupo de profissionais despenderia maior esforço cognitivo, refletindo-se sobre as características da atividade e suas possíveis implicações para o profissional que a executa. Por fim, concluiu-se que a atividade, ao ser desempenhada pelos tradutores e intérpretes ou pelos revisores, assume uma natureza distinta e, por sua vez, implica demandas cognitivas e comportamentais diferentes.
Estudo Exploratório da Competência Tradutória de Tradutores Ouvintes Intermodais em Relação à sua Prática - Versão Sintética em Libras
Authors: Gomes Eduardo Andrade , Avelar Thaís Fleury
Published: December 2021

A competência tradutória (intermodal) é a reunião de atitudes, habilidades e saberes especializados imprescindíveis ao tradutor para a transposição de informações entre línguas, distintas ou não. Segundo o grupo PACTE, tal competência é constituída por componentes que poderão ser tensionados a partir de aspectos como a direcionalidade do processo tradutório, o tipo e o gênero textual, e as modalidades (de uso) das línguas envolvidas. Sendo assim, empreendemos uma pesquisa de ordem exploratória na qual oito tradutores ouvintes, da região Sudeste e Sul do país, responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada na qual abordava questões referentes à sua prática tradutória. Os dados demonstram que, apesar desses tradutores preferirem atuar na direção do português escrito para a Libras oral, a manifestação corporal, gestual e visual e o uso do espaço são considerados desafiadores, principalmente por envolver o registro desse produto em vídeo. Além disso, independentemente dos textos a serem traduzidos, as consultas em fontes documentais, lexicais e terminológicas são ações essenciais no trabalho desses profissionais. Diante disso, ressaltamos a importância em tratar a competência tradutória intermodal, defendida por Rodrigues (308), de maneira a oferecer aos tradutores formações que englobem atividades nas duas direções, emprego de ferramentas de busca e maior variedade de textos.

Por fim, concluiu-se que a atividade, ao ser desempenhada pelos tradutores e intérpretes ou pelos revisores, assume uma natureza distinta e, por sua vez, implica demandas cognitivas e comportamentais diferentes.

Published: December 2021

Com a difusão da pesquisa sobre a tradução e a interpretação de línguas de sinais, no contexto da graduação e da pós-graduação brasileiras, seguida da constituição de núcleos e grupos de pesquisa e da criação da graduação para formação de tradutoess e de intérpretes de Libras-português nas universidades federais brasileiras, os Estudos da Tradução e da Interpretação de Línguas de Línguas de Sinais (ETILS) ganharam corpo e visibilidade. Nessa perspectiva, entre 2010 e 2020, alguns periódicos brasileiros publicaram volumes especiais ou dossiês dedicados aos ETILS, mas nenhum deles publicou artigos também em Libras. Este volume especial, da Cadernos de Tradução, é o primeiro, em nível nacional, com artigos escritos, em português ou em inglês, com uma versão sintética (abridged version) em Libras produzida pelos próprios autores. No total, o volume é composto por onze artigos, escritos por vinte e um autores pertencentes a onze diferentes instituições educacionais brasileiras, abordando temáticas atuais do campo dos ETILS. Além disso, conta com uma resenha e uma tradução de artigo do inglês para o português.
O Intérprete de Libras no Contexto da Pós-Graduação: um olhar para o gênero do discurso
Authors: Santiago Vânia de Aquino Albres , Lacerda Cristina Broglia Feitosa de
Published: December 2021

Nosso objetivo é analisar a interpretação de língua de sinais na esfera educacional, no contexto da pós-graduação lato sensu, focalizando as especificidades do gênero do discurso. Assim, apresentamos como questões de pesquisa: Com quais gêneros discursivos têm que lidar os intérpretes educacionais na pós-graduação? Quais as estratégias dos intérpretes nesse contexto? Seguindo no pensamento bakhtiniano e do Círculo, nas reflexões e estudos sobre o intérprete educacional, concebemos a interpretação como um processo discursivo, no qual a atuação dos intérpretes com os alunos depende do contexto em que estão inseridos. Consideramos que a atuação dos intérpretes educacionais é regida pelas coerções do gênero e, portanto, as decisões tradutórias, estilo de linguagem, modalidades de interpretação e formas de interação dizem respeito ao contexto específico em que atuam.
Ball, Stone, Ball: Interlingual, Intramodal And Intersemiotic Translation Between And From A Work Of Creative Sign Language
Authors: Ribeiro Arenilson Costa , Sutton-Spence Rachel Louise
Published: December 2021

Este artigo analisa as traduções de uma narrativa poética da Língua de Sinais Americana (ASL) para um relato humorístico em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) e, por fim, da Libras para um teatro dramatizado sinalizado. Aborda a área relativamente inexplorada das traduções intramodais entre línguas de sinais, considerando as mudanças que ocorrem em uma tradução interlingual e intramodal de um texto em língua de sinais altamente criativo, conforme o gênero e as adaptações feitas em uma tradução intersemiótica para um texto teatral dramatizado, que é quase não verbal. Analisamos, portanto, o poema narrativo “Ball Story” em ASL de Ben Bahan (um texto altamente poético), uma tradução realizada por Sandro Pereira (um texto, principalmente, humorístico) e, por fim, uma adaptação para um esboço teatral por alunos de graduação, estudantes de literatura de língua de sinais (teatro visual). Observou-se que, apesar de algumas pequenas diferenças, o mesmo conteúdo foi apresentado nas traduções para os diferentes gêneros, sendo a versão poética mais performática em termos de declamação, a versão humorística manipulando parâmetros dos sinais, incorporação e intensidade e a tradução dramatizada por meio de aspectos cinemáticos, que se baseiam na Libras, mas não fazem uso dela. Os resultados ampliam nossa compreensão da estrutura de textos criativos em línguas de sinais e suas possíveis traduções.
The most important problems of legal philosophy and the nature of law
Authors: Gizbert-Studnicki Tomasz
Published: December 2021

The purpose of legal philosophy is frequently defined as the discovery or exploration of the nature of law. The nature of law is usually understood as a set of necessary properties of law. Such an identification of the purpose of legal philosophy raises some doubts. Irrespective of those doubts, I claim that that focusing exclusively on the nature of law may be detrimental to legal philosophy as a whole, as it may be an obstacle to the investigation of certain issues that seem important. Or, at least, not all fundamental problems of legal philosophy may be perceived as pertaining to the nature of the law. Two such problems are briefly discussed: (i) legal pluralism and (ii) certain new categories of non-human legal subjects, such as autonomous machines, environmental legal persons and animals. I argue that focusing on the nature of law does not help the exploration of those important topics.
Determining the content of corporate reporting on human rights
Authors: Čertanec Ana
Published: December 2021

Business enterprises have to report their activities to stakeholders in order to provide corporate transparency. Non-financial corporate reports provide a comprehensive coverage of environmental, socio-economic, labor, health, and human rights issues. In the paper the author argues that a uniform definition of a sector-specific human rights issue in reporting frameworks, rather than self-identification by enterprises of salient human rights issues, would help to achieve standardization and thus the possibility of sanctions in the event of false or misleading reporting. The author analyzes existing international and regional non-financial reporting instruments regarding the human rights included in it. The main content issues of non-financial reporting are derived and given requirements to improve them. The author further analyzes whether the two main frameworks for human rights reporting (the GRI Standards and the UNGPs Reporting Framework) currently meet the requirements for content defined in the paper and, if not, how they can be changed.
When law enters history: prohibition of crime negationism and its limits in international law
Authors: Vučić Mihajlo
Published: December 2021

The topic of this article is the interaction between the freedom of expression and the memorial laws concerning historical crimes. The author offers an analysis of the phenomenon of negationism through the prism of international law. The article is based on two interrelated hypotheses. The first is that the prohibition of negationism has a legal foundation in international law only if accompanied by the ability to incite hatred or violence. For this purpose, international and regional European standards on negationism are analyzed. The second hypothesis is that in the practice of implementation of memorial laws, the border between hate speech and legitimate historical denialism becomes blurred. This fact might lead to excessive encroachment upon the freedom of expression. The author offers an analysis of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights as a referential framework for the application of memorial laws in practice aimed at evading these excesses.
Legal measures on vaccination against smallpox in the principality of Serbia in the 1830s–1840s
Authors: Kršljanin Nina
Published: December 2021

The paper addresses the legal measures regarding vaccination against smallpox in the Principality of Serbia in the 1830s–1840s. The main focus is on two normative acts – Rules for the inoculation of pox of 1839 and a Supplement to these Rules of 1842. Relying on archive material, the paper strives to show both the normative content of these acts (including a comparison with the Austrian regulations of 1836), as well as the circumstances in which they were passed and their application in practice. Particular attention is paid to the main obstacles to effective vaccination – distrust and fear of the procedure among the general population and insufficient available medical staff – and steps that were taken to overcome these difficulties.
Global climate change and the role of anesthesiologist
Authors: Kim Jae Hwan
Published: December 2021

Background: Environmental issues and health problems related to global climate change are becoming increasingly serious. An effective eco-friendly strategy is required to reduce medical waste and greenhouse gas emissions caused by anesthesia in hospitals.Current Concepts: Inhalation anesthetics are very strong greenhouse gases in the order of desflurane, isoflurane, nitrous oxide, and sevoflurane. Anesthetics with high global warming potential and long atmospheric lifetimes should be used with caution. Only the minimum required dose of an anesthetic drug with a low persistence bioaccumulation toxicity index is recommended for use. Disposable anesthesia products are known to have a low purchase price and low risk of cross-contamination; however, this may not be the case. By using eco-friendly anesthetic supplies, recycling and reuse, we can avoid wasting money and resources.Discussion and Conclusion: Greenhouse gas emissions from the use of anesthetics are excluded from United Nations regulations due to their necessity. However, while guaranteeing patient safety, anesthesiologists must fulfill their professional ethical obligations by striving to reduce medical waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
Enhanced recovery after surgery: anesthesia-related components
Authors: Cho Ah-Reum
Published: December 2021

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary and multimodal evidence-based approach aimed at improving the recovery of surgical patients. Successful implementation of ERAS protocols requires proper perioperative communication and collaboration among surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other medical personnel.Current Concepts: The anesthesiologist is the clinical leader responsible for the ERAS program. Preoperative patient evaluation, optimization, and patient education are essential components of the ERAS program. The program also involves preoperative fasting and carbohydrate loading to minimize catabolic effects. Selection of an appropriate anesthetic regimen, fluid and temperature management, avoidance of intra/postoperative nausea and vomiting, and multimodal pain management are the key components of ERAS for which the anesthesiologist is responsible.Discussion and Conclusion: Factors that enable the successful implementation of ERAS include the willingness to change to ERAS, formation of multidisciplinary teams to improve cooperation, and support from the hospital management, as well as standardization of order sets and care processes and the appropriate use of audits. As the leader of the ERAS team, the anesthesiologist should be actively involved in comprehensive management of the patient during the perioperative period.
