“Gestor-auditor”
Authors: Cid Gabriel , Domingues João , De Paula Leandro
Published: February 2022

O artigo pretende contribuir para a análise da gestão pública do setor da cultura no Brasil, investigando a produção discursiva sobre as políticas culturais no governo Bolsonaro. Examinamos posicionamentos públicos de dirigentes da Secretaria Especial de Cultura vocalizados entre maio de 2020 e junho de 2021, como via de acesso às lógicas de gestão que passam a pautar a pasta. O texto põe sob análise a constituição dos públicos dessa plataforma política e sua relação com as táticas de governança do chamado populismo digital. Como resultado, aventamos a ascensão retórica de um novo perfil de competências para o gestor público da cultura, que desafia os termos pelos quais essa tarefa foi historicamente assumida como responsabilidade do Estado brasileiro.
Condições pós-coloniais abusivas e as tarefas da Teoria Crítica
Authors: Kerner Ina
Published: February 2022

A Teoria Crítica da Escola de Frankfurt praticamente omitiu de suas discussões o colonialismo europeu, e também por seu legado ela até o momento só se interessa de modo hesitante. O presente texto parte do pressuposto que esse desinteresse prejudica uma análise crítica da sociedade. Ele indica em que direções poderia desenvolver-se uma Teoria Crítica levando a sério nossas constelações pós-coloniais. No texto são abordadas a colonialidade do poder (Aníbal Quijano), interconexões entre modernidade, racismo e democracia (Achille Mbembe), as implicações do imperialismo para o moderno sistema estatal (James Tully) bem como as interconexões entre pós-colonialismo e sexualidade (Gatari Spivak).
Nembutsu as Remembrance (1977)
Authors: Pallis Marco
Published: February 2022

The second western author whom we include here is the Briton Marco Pallis (1895–1989).13 This author was widely known in the general field of what has been called the “perennial philosophy”, a way of thinking which presupposes an inner unity of all religions and sees their value in the promotion of an inner, spiritualised mysticism. Pallis’ main reference point for the traditions of Asia lay in Tibet, for he was also a keen mountaineer and a general writer on various associated subjects. The Tibetan connection seems to have matched the contemporary Japanese interest in Tibetan and Central Asian Buddhism as a field of study relevant for understanding the manifold development of Mahāyāna Buddhism in general. While Pallis had a relatively slight relationship to Shin Buddhism, he showed considerable acumen in the way in which he appraised and commented on the practice of the nenbutsu.
The Concept of the Pure Land in the Teaching of Nāgārjuna (1966)
Authors: Yamaguchi Susumu
Published: February 2022

A profundity is implied in Yamaguchi Susumu’s article on the concept of the Pure Land in the teaching of Nāgārjuna. Here we learn that Shin Buddhist conceptions, despite what for some may be their apparent simplicity, bear an intimate relationship to the notion of emptiness (śūnyatā ) which characterizes all Mahāyāna teaching.

Outline of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra (Kegonkyō)
Authors: Suzuki Beatrice Lane
Published: February 2022

In this chapter, the author discusses the Avataṃsaka Sūtra. Of Mahāyāna sūtras, the Kegon, the Hokke (Saddharma-Puṇḍarīka) and the Nehan (Nirvāṇa) sūtras are the most outstanding, and among these the Kegon is important because it is considered to be the teaching given out by the Buddha Śākyamuni just after his enlightenment, and in consequence his enlightenment is made the centre or pivot of the sūtra’s substance.

D.T. Suzuki and Pure Land Buddhism
Authors: Shojun Bando
Published: February 2022

While Pure Land Buddhism was scorned by many, including Conze, it was clear for both Suzuki and the author of this piece, that faith centred on the "Original Vow" of Amida Buddha was a significant trend within the more complex tradition of Mahayana Buddhism as a whole. For them, it is in this shared matrix that the correlation of Shin and Zen Buddhism is able to take place.
Ratna: A Buddhist World of Precious Things
Authors: Salvini Mattia
Published: February 2022

Buddhist literature and culture is permeated with gems, jewels, and precious metals; they function as figure of speech, offering, ornament, magical implement, ideal landscape or narrative element. A Buddhist is ‘one who takes refuge in the Three Jewels’. A successful Buddhist practitioner may accumulate merit to reach Indra’s divine realm inlaid with four precious gems; he or she might reach ‘the meditative absorption which is like a diamond’ to become awakened. If on the other hand the one focuses on Amitābha’s name, this will bring about rebirth in a pleasant realm where the landscape is made of four and seven precious substances. Those of greater capacity may attempt Buddhahood in one lifetime, in which case they will have to rely on the swifter ‘Diamond Vehicle’. From the name of textual collections like the ‘Heap of Jewels’ to the contemporary Thai Buddhist practice of covering statues with layers of gold-leaf, hardly any aspect of Buddhist religious life is untouched by imagined or actual gems and precious metals. I shall here discuss some eminent examples of this feature of Buddhism; without any hope of being comprehensive, I intend to show the importance of a certain part of the mineral world for the larger universe of Buddhist religious culture.

Derecho y derechos en la intuición cristiana de la vida: Javier Hervada
Authors: Anzalone Angelo
Published: February 2022

Las reflexiones sobre el sentido del Derecho y la realización de la Justicia caracterizan posturas teóricas y filosóficas que no siempre tienen en consideración componentes ontológicos de trascendental importancia. Desde la intuición cristiana de la vida, en la que el ser humano desarrolla su convivencia con los demás en una óptica finalista y perfeccionista, en este artículo se analiza la relevancia constitutiva que la filosofía jurídica de Javier Hervada atribuye, en las complejas dinámicas del ethos jurídico, a la persona, a su dignidad y al conjunto de sus deberes fundamentales. Todo ello se considera de suma utilidad para reivindicar la existencia de posicionamientos filosóficos sobre el Derecho que, exhibiendo una excelente capacidad de adaptación y dialogo constructivo, son capaces de proyectar en la actualidad las enseñanzas obsequiadas por el pensamiento clásico.
Un nuevo derecho llamado eutanasia. Revisión crítica al amparo de la concepción clásica del derecho
Authors: Cabrera-Caro Leticia
Published: February 2022

Asistimos en los últimos años al nacimiento de nuevos derechos que afectan a bienes humanos tan esenciales como la vida o la integridad física. Ejemplo de ello lo tenemos en la actual regulación del aborto, los intentos de regular la gestación por sustitución o el derecho a la eutanasia de reciente aprobación en España.

Estos derechos nacen al amparo de leyes que reconocen la validez del consentimiento expreso, informado y libre para renunciar a la integridad física, a la vida del nasciturus o a la propia vida. Sin embargo, existen determinados bienes inherentes a la dignidad humana de los que no se puede disponer a favor de terceros, ni siquiera con la aquiescencia de su titular. Por tanto, debemos concluir que la simple voluntad individual, expresada a través del consentimiento informado, o la voluntad colectiva, expresada en el texto de una ley, no bastan para constituir un derecho cuando éste afecta a determinados bienes personalísimos.

En este trabajo se aborda una breve crítica de la Ley Orgánica de regulación de la eutanasia desde las tesis sostenidas por el recientemente fallecido profesor Javier Hervada, tratando de distinguir los conceptos de eutanasia y muerte digna.
¿Podemos frenar la carrera armamentística?
Authors: Ballesteros Jesús
Published: February 2022

En este trabajo analizo tres etapas de la política de defensa, basadas en la diferente percepción del enemigo. En la primera (1945-89), que corresponde al periodo de la llamada Guerra Fría, la hostilidad entre los dos bloques, capitalista y comunista, incrementa el gasto armamentístico. En la segunda etapa (1989-2001), la desaparición de un bloque hace descender el gasto armamentístico. En la tercera (desde 2001 hasta hoy), retorna el armamentismo, debido a la aparición de los populismos y la postverdad.
¿La muerte como cosa justa (lo de cada uno)? Reflexiones sobre la eutanasia desde el realismo jurídico de Javier Hervada
Authors: Albert-Márquez Marta-Mª
Published: February 2022

El artículo se ocupa de analizar el derecho a la muerte desde el realismo jurídico de Hervada. La distinción entre el derecho (ius suum) y el derecho subjetivo, y, en definitiva, la decisión de atribuir la muerte como “lo suyo” de la vida enferma constituyen los puntos clave del análisis, que concluye poniendo de manifiesto cómo tal atribución ignora que lo que las personas tenemos atribuido por naturaleza es la vida, y no la muerte, y denunciando la discriminación que la posibilidad de ejercitar el nuevo derecho puede representar para sus titulares.
Redefinicja idei w polskim systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych
Authors:   dr, Katedra Ekonomii, Inwestycji i Nieruchomości, Politechnika Częstochowska, Polska, Garbiec Roman
Published: February 2022

The Polish social security system was partially re-defined in 1999, however, the re-definition concerned only retirement and accident insurance at that time (excluding sickness and disability insurance). This re-definition was based, among other things, upon a change in the concept of the system's functioning, from the principle of solidarity to the principle of individual precaution. This change meant, in fact, the privatization of the Polish social security system. Unfortunately, the implementation of the redefinition ideas resulted in a significant decline in the financial effectiveness of the social security system in Poland. This article presents the lack of uniformity of the social security system in Poland and the financial effects of the solutions that are being currently applied. The conclusions presented in the paper indicate the possible directions of corrective actions aimed at unifying the system to make it coherent and financially effective. The research method used for the purposes of the study was an analysis of documents (legal regulations regarding the social security system and financial reports of the Social Insurance Trust Fund (FUS). The research tool used to evaluate the financial efficiency of the existing solutions was the financial efficiency meter of the system, developed for the purposes of the analysis.
Innowacyjność behawioralna jako narzędzie symbiozy człowieka z technologią w czasach transformacji cyfrowej

The paper is of a conceptual nature. Its purpose is specified in the thesis-worded title. It shows the possibilities of using a behavioral innovativeness model to explain the mechanism of human-technology symbiosis, while reducing multiple threats to human welfare. The thesis related to the purpose indicates that the shaping and dissemination of universal competence in the form of behavioral innovativeness are accelerators of the process of following the symbiosis between man and technology. The proof was based on the assumption that it is necessary to change the paradigm of thinking about innovativeness, and to enrich its objective dimension with a subjective one. Based on studies concerning the subject literature and the presentation of international differences in the level and dynamics of digital transformation on the basis of indicators used in global reports on digitization, the authors conclude that the postulated change in the paradigm of thinking about innovativeness may play a positive role in human welfare. A necessary but not sufficient condition for reducing the growth of human-digital symbiosis as a risk to human welfare is the postulated sustainability orientation of behavioral innovation. With the current scale of re-evaluation and the pace of the impact of digital transformation on all dimensions of human existence, it is inevitable to move to an integrated development strategy in the formula postulated in the article. In order to ensure the consistency of behavioral innovativeness with integrated development, it is necessary to systematically shape innovative competences, throughout, inter alia, formalized education institutions, government policy, and economic instruments, which requires further research.
A high-resolution climate experiment over part of Vietnam and the Lower Mekong Basin: performance evaluation and projection for rainfall

Published: February 2022

This study first evaluates the performance of three model experiments in representing rainfall over part of Vietnam and the Lower Mekong Basin for the historical period 1986-2005. The three experiments include the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) EC-EARTH Global Climate Model (GCM) and two downscaling runs based on a regional climate model at 25km resolution with the GCM forcing (RCM-25km) and at 5km resolution with the RCM-25km forcing (RCM-5km). Verifications against observations show that the experiments generally capture the spatial distribution of climatological rainfall. While the GCM well represents the observed average rainfall cycles, its coarse resolution limits its capability in reproducing extreme rainfall values. The downscaling experiments do not clearly show their advantage in simulating average rainfall but exhibit significant added values when representing extreme rainfall in the study region. The RCM-5km does not outperform its driving 25km experiment in representing the mean and extreme rainfall values, suggesting that having a better resolution may not compensate for having a good model configuration with appropriate physical schemes. Analysis of climate projection for the far future period 2080-2099 under two representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, reveals that the downscaling experiments can modify the change direction of future rainfall obtained with the GCM. While the EC-EARTH GCM generally projects wetter tendencies of up to 50%, the downscaling experiments project a general decrease of down to -50% under both scenarios over the study domain. Regarding extreme rainfall, the annual maximum 1-day rainfall amount (RX1day) is projected to increase for the three experiments. The simple daily intensity index (SDII) future changes follow those of the annual rainfall values.
Cognitive Attitudes and Biases of Victim Mentality
Authors: Andronnikova Olga O. , Kudinov Sergey I.
Published: February 2022

The research analyzes cognitive attitudes and biases in people with victim mentality. The hypothesis that the study aims to test is that there is a correlation between the level of victimhood and the cognitive attitudes and biases that determine victim behaviour. Methodologically, the study relies on a range of tools, including the questionnaire “Predisposition to Victim Behaviour”, the Victim Mentality Questionnaire, the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale and the adjusted REBT-test (rational emotive behaviour therapy). The study was conducted in 2018 in Russia and covered a sample of 106 people: 45 male and 61 female respondents aged 20–29. The hypothesis was confirmed and correlations were found between the type of victim behaviour, victim mentality, dysfunctional attitudes and irrational beliefs. Irrational beliefs are thus considered as victimogenic determinants correlating with the level of victimhood and forms of victim behaviour. These findings can be used to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies to help patients suffering from victim mentality and related problems.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relevance of the “Attitudes toward Lesbians and Gay Men” (ATLG) Scale developed by G. M. Herek to the Greek society. The study consists of two stages or sub-studies. At the first stage, the sample consisted of 186 undergraduate university students and at the second, 254 undergraduate university students, who studied at the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Democritus University of Thrace in Komotini, Greece. Methodologically speaking, our research relied on the methods of descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis (Cronbach’s α, composite reliability and average variance extracted) and t-test for independent sample.  The results of the first stage showed that the two factors, men’s homophobia and women’s homophobia, accounted for 58% of the total variance. At the second stage, three confirmatory factor analyses were performed: men’s homophobia, women’s homophobia and total homophobia. We also found gender-related differences in students’ attitudes to homosexuality, but only as far as male homosexuality is concerned.
ESCRITA ACADÊMICA NO CAMPO DA EDUCAÇÃO: ORIENTAÇÃO RETÓRICA EM INTRODUÇÕES E CONCLUSÕES DE ARTIGOS CIENTÍFICOS
Authors: Pimenta Viviane Raposo , Brasileiro Ada Magaly Matias , Oliveira Adilson Ribeiro de , Raposo Kariny Cristina Souza
Published: February 2022

Em tempos de acirrada política neoliberal comprometida com o produtivismo acelerado, o artigo é uma das formas de comunicação que mais circulam no âmbito acadêmico-científico, objeto sobre o qual recaem muitos dos índices de ranqueamento institucionais e é ele próprio tema recorrente de estudos vinculados aos estudos do letramento, à didática da escrita e aos estudos do discurso. Encontramos em Swales (1990) propostas que buscam articular saberes de campos teóricos distintos que podem contribuir para a didática da escrita acadêmica. Nessa seara, o objetivo principal deste estudo é compreender como a orientação retórica de introduções e conclusões dos artigos científicos da área da Educação se faz presente na composicionalidade, no estilo e no desenvolvimento temático desse gênero. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, cujo corpus é composto por 16 artigos da área da Educação, tendo sido os periódicos avaliados como Qualis A1, no quadriênio Capes 2013-2016. Os resultados revelam a presença dos movimentos retóricos apontados por Swales, por meio das estratégias discursivas de engajamento e posicionamento (HYLAND, 2015), e contribuem para a composicionalidade do gênero. Apesar disso, não é possível afirmar, como descrito por Swales, que tais movimentos sejam de ordem obrigatória. Verificou-se também que as configurações de escolhas sistemáticas de linguagem devem ser compreendidas no interior de um campo disciplinar e que o texto reflete as escolhas e as limitações que atuam sobre os autores.

Para tanto, por meio da pesquisa qualitativa, realizamos uma discussão sobre estado do conhecimento e um estudo teórico relacionado aos saberes docentes e a identidade profissional do professor (TARDIF, 2002; GAUTHIER, 2013; PIMENTA, 2005), constituímos nosso material empírico nos periódicos Scielo, ABEM e BDTD, e nos orientamos em Bardin para a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram para a necessidade do planejamento/desenvolvimento de atividades formativas pautadas na construção de saberes pedagógico-musicais necessários ao trabalho docente do professor que ensina música na escola.
Luxúria, Gula, Fake News! O consumo dos abjetos objetos do desejo.
Authors: VASCONCELLOS-SILVA PAULO
Published: February 2022

A mentira parece ter raízes antigas e profundamente fincadas nas inclinações humanas para o engodo para obtenção de vantagens imorais ou ilícitas. Ao longo da História, as produções caluniosas humanas se reproduziram de forma limitada em nichos da esfera privada. A partir do final do século XX as acumulações tecnológicas em termos de produção de conteúdo e segmentação de consumidores da “sociedade da informação” também geraram condições para criação da “sociedade da desinformação” por meio da potencialização de processos comunicativos distorcidos ligados a interesses comerciais. Defende-se no presente texto que, mais relevante que a credibilidade de conteúdos e seus veiculadores no contexto da potencialização tecnológica para produção e distribuição das fake news, o consumo de mentiras expandiu-se em função de necessidades humanas inconfessáveis. Usando o referencial teórico da “sociedade do espetáculo” de Guy Debord, da Filosofia da Excitação de Christoph Türcke e do Capitalismo de Vigilância de Shoshana Zuboff, discute-se os novos rumos do capitalismo contemporâneo.
Descreve-se o surgimento de uma nova forma de mercado que explora a luxúria da excitação pelo ódio da intolerância e pelo pânico no contexto das biocalamidades como a pandemia do COVID-19. Nos novos modos de produção, vultosos lucros são gerados pela sociedade que se tornou o próprio espetáculo - agora impulsionado pela luxúria/gula da sensação no comércio da excitação. A gula pelo consumo excessivo de conteúdos de reafirmação de laços sociais gera mais tempo de tela nos devices, embora também esteja implicada na genealogia das xenofobias. Discute-se assim os mecanismos da exploração da mentira, da fofoca e das confidências de difamação transformadas em commodities. A ação comunicativa para superação de ideologias e emancipação do ser humano tem sido reduzida à reprodução alienada de memes e partículas de informação sensacional. No contexto dessa nova “Idade Mídia”, proliferam os discursos sem diálogos e a convicção sem reflexão e sem interlocuções. Assim como a oferta excessiva de açúcares levou à obesidade, a luxúria pela sensação articulada à gula por seu consumo e replicação, está nos conduzido à infobesidade e às corrupções infodêmicas da comunicação.

Published: February 2022

Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, the education system moved to virtual mode, causing teachers to change methodologies, strategies, and teaching resources in order to be used for teaching-learning processes. The impediment of entering to Chemistry laboratories motivated the use of simulators and virtual laboratories as resources linked to learning. Present study determines the efficacy of these resources, the research is quantitative with a correlational level and a quasi-experimental design with post-test. The applied method was the heuristic and assumes Ausubel's theory of significant learning. The study population comprises 188 students enrolled during the period November 2020- April 2021 in the career of Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences, Chemistry and Biology. The sampling technique was intentional non-probabilistic and corresponds to the second, third and fifth semester students of the subjects of General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Chemical Physics respectively. At the end of the investigation, it was determined that the PhET simulator and the virtual laboratories: Crocodile Chemistry605 and Yenka allowed feedback and motivation in each guided virtual experimental activity; not existing a significant difference in the academic performance of the students, who in their majority reached the learning results.

Study on the efficiency and energy consumption of electric and diesel pumping stations
Authors: Firouzabadi Ali Ghadami , Seyedan Seyed Mohsen , Jovzi Mehdi , Albaji Mohammad , Peyghan Khashayar
Published: February 2022

Restricted water and energy resources of the planet, as well as an increasing demand for water and energy owing to population growth and an ever-increasing development of human societies, require an optimal utilisation of such resources. This study was conducted to investigate the consumption, dissipation and efficiency of energy in electric and diesel fuel pumping stations in the fields of Hamedan city, located in the west of Iran. The Nebraska pumping plant performance criteria were used to compare the performance of irrigation pumping stations. The input power, output power and total energy efficiency were calculated for the pumping stations. The results revealed that the total efficiency ranged between 3.2 and 24.4% in the diesel pumping stations and from 15.7 to 100% in the electric pumping stations. The mean of total efficiency and mean wasted energy in the diesel pumping stations were 14.1% and 51.8 kWh/h, respectively. The mean total efficiency and wasted energy in the electric pumping stations were 58.3% and 9.0 kWh/h, respectively. Factors such as pump and engine selection proportionate to the system's capacity and pressure, proper upkeep and maintenance of pumps and engines, and implementation of an optimum, rigid foundation could improve energy efficiency.
Probabilistic site characterisation using monitored spudcan installation data
Authors: Yang Fuming , Li Jinhui , Cassidy Mark Jason
Published: February 2022

Predicting spudcan penetration is essential for reducing risk during the installation of an offshore mobile jack-up platform. However, predictions made prior to installation often deviate from those recorded in practice, mainly because inherent uncertainties in seabed soils are not adequately considered. In this paper, the characteristics of the seabed are quantified using monitored spudcan installation data by developing a Bayesian framework coupled with Metropolis algorithm-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. Applied to sand overlying clay conditions multiple readings from the load–penetration curve are used to derive statistical interpretations of seabed parameters such as sand thickness, sand friction angle and the undrained shear strength profile of clay. Illustrative examples demonstrate the proposed method using data from geotechnical centrifuge tests and a monitored offshore jack-up. The accuracy of the method is also retrospectively examined against a database of 66 centrifuge tests. The results show that the proposed method can provide consistent soil parameters with reduced uncertainty regardless of the influence of the updating sequence, number of MCMC chains, scale factors and the prior distributions applied. This method offers the offshore industry a new methodology to statistically interpret seabed conditions by incorporating monitored data. Potentially it could be combined with spatial interpolation methods to infer ground conditions and more accurately predict future spudcan installations.

From Biopolitics to the Lived Body: Maternity, Reproduction and the Domestic Space of Socialism
Authors: Stătică Iulia
Published: February 2022

Two major reforms initiated in Romania during Nicolae Ceaușescu’s dictatorship (1965–89) tied the gendered domestic sphere directly to the urban landscape of socialism. In 1974, one of these reforms envisioned the restructuring of the city based on unprecedented mass housing construction using prefabricated elements. The other had criminalised abortion in 1966 in an attempt to increase the country’s population, (re)prescribing the essential role of women’s bodies in the social reproduction of socialism, thereby establishing the importance of domesticity in the formation of subjectivities and the (literal) reproduction of subjects. Taking this framework as a point of departure, and enquiring into state policies regulating the body and the home on the one hand and modes of appropriation by these spaces’ inhabitants on the other, the article argues that domestic architecture played a fundamental role in constructing and deconstructing women’s mythical position within state socialism. At the level of the city, the notion of natality opens peculiar perspectives upon the way in which urban planning responded to the legal framework that regulated the social body. The transition to the scale of the apartment through socialist and post-socialist ethnographic accounts and visual culture (art and film) brings to light a contradictory discourse, whereby women detached themselves from any idealised projection present in the public discourse. Shifting from the scale of the city to that of the apartment, the article builds on these antagonisms, unfolding the gendered (and convoluted) nature of the socialist domestic space.

Background Absorbable threads represent one of the most exciting breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine. The innovative composition of absorbable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/caprolactone (PCL) threads enriched with hyaluronic acid (HA) has triggered the interest of aesthetic practitioners. Objective To compare the aesthetic outcomes of armouring procedures with absorbable PLLA/PCL threads versus the same procedure performed with PLLA/PCL/HA threads (APTOS, Tbilisi, Georgia threads). Materials and Methods Eight patients underwent thread insertion in the face (PLLA/PCL threads on one side and PLLA/PCL/HA threads on the other). Aesthetic outcome was determined subjectively by the patient after 7 days using a 5-point rating questionnaire. Wrinkles were evaluated objectively using 3D photosystem software after 7, 30, and 90 days. Results Seven days after treatment there was significantly less pain, less swelling, less burning and a faster reduction of skin irregularities on the side treated with HA-enriched threads (all p<0.05). The side of the face treated with HA-enriched threads also demonstrated faster and more obvious improvement of wrinkles. Conclusion Absorbable PLLA/PCL threads have a reliable reputation for oval correction of the face and long-lasting biostimulation. The new HA-enriched threads shorten the post-procedure downtime, accelerate rejuvenation and provide more significant patient satisfaction.

Occupational reintegration management from an employee perspective – a qualitative study of care and support facilities Introduction: Demographic trends and the associated shortage of skilled workers mean that older employees are becoming increasingly important to companies, which must rely on the resources of an aging workforce. Older people are more likely to be unfit for work, which results in more absenteeism. The legislature approved the occupational reintegration management (BEM) in 2004 in order to maintain and promote the ability of emloyees to work. The aim of the investigation was to determine employees’ perspective of BEM, as this has received little coverage as a subject of research. Methods: The research field was represented by a total of six care and support facilities in east Thuringia. The research question was: “What expectations do employees have regarding BEM?” Grounded theory was used to carry out nine guided interviews with employees in care and support facilities. The data was analysed by using the qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. Results: Incapacity for work places a wide range of burdens on those affected by it. This is often accompanied by a change in attitudes and behaviour. Reintegration management is therefore perceived as a very important and helpful institution for return to work. A considerable deficit of knowledge on the subject of BEM was nevertheless discovered. Conclusion: Affected persons expect to be able to keep their job as a result of BEM. The BEM process should be characterised by a step-by-step approach. Colleagues are crucial to a successful return to work as they can support the reintegration with understanding and consideration. Medical specialists were also considered to be very important to integration. Other expectations addressed improvements in the area of workplace health promotion. Keywords: care and support facilities – occupational reintegration management – employee perspective – collegiality – grounded theory

In der Forschung und Praxis finden sich zunehmend Arbeiten und Konzepte, wie ein funktionierendes und nachhaltiges betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement (BGM) auch für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen möglich ist. Verpflichtungen aus Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz wird dabei allerdings nicht immer nachgekommen. Dies trifft noch mehr auf Kleinstunternehmen zu. Im Rahmen des Modellvorhabens „Gesund arbeiten in Thüringen“ wurden mit Kleinst-, kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen Netzwerke initiiert, die sich gezielt dem Aufbau von Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz sowie eines BGM widmen.

Needlestick injuries among employees and students in a German university hospital Background: The risk of needlestick injuries (NSI) and subsequent infection by blood-borne pathogens, particularly for hepatitis B, C and the human immunodeficiency virus, is unevenly distributed among health care workers. Objectives: Identification of risk groups for NSI with potentially infectious body fluids through detailed subgroup analyses. Methods: Retrospective study at a German university hospital from 2010 to 2014. Standardised checklists were used to collect data on the injured person, accident location/time, circumstances, type of injury/contamination, potentially infectious body fluid and index patient. Deviations in both absolute and relative frequencies were examined by means of contingency analysis, Fisher’s exact test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: NSI with potentially infectious body fluids are frequent occupational accidents with an average incidence of one per day in a German university hospital with about 4,400 employees. Particularly at risk are employees in the operational subjects, disinfection/sterilization, midwives and perfusionists. A low vaccination rate for hepatitis B (54.1%) was found among dental students. Conclusions: In addition to regular re-evaluations of the working conditions of all employees and students, in-depth evaluations of working conditions should be carried out in the at-risk occupational groups - in spite of low numbers in some groups - in order to identify possible countermeasures and to continuously reduce the risk of NSI. Based on overall high hepatitis B vaccination rates, the working conditions can be regarded as safe, subject to low numbers of unreported cases. Nevertheless, occupational groups (such as dentistry students) with low immunization rates should be better informed about occupationally indicated vaccinations.

Das Tragen okklusiver Handschuhe gilt als Feuchtarbeit. Bei mehr als vier Stunden Feuchtarbeit täglich muss gemäß der Verordnung zur arbeitsmedizinischen Vorsorge (ArbMedVV) eine arbeitsmedizinische Pflichtvorsorge veranlasst werden, auch wenn bislang kaum wissenschaftliche Belege vorliegen, dass das Arbeiten mit okklusiven Handschuhen ohne Anwesenheit von Gefahrstoffen die Haut in gleichem Maße wie Feuchtarbeit oder überhaupt nennenswert schädigt. In einer Studie wurde der Effekt des Tragens okklusiver Handschuhe auf den Hautbefund der Hände untersucht.
Arbeitsplatzexposition an Telearbeitsplätzen privatwirtschaftlich?

Die ohnehin aktuellen Themen Homeoffice und Telearbeit haben in der Corona-Krise eine zusätzliche Brisanz erhalten. Viele Arbeitnehmer1, die mit diesem Thema bisher nie konfrontiert waren, werden von ihren Beschäftigungsunternehmen gebeten, die dienstlichen Aufgaben von zuhause aus zu erledigen. Was ist, wenn im Homeoffice gesundheitsschädliche Stoffe einwirken, denen die oder der Beschäftigte privat nicht oder nicht in diesem Maße ausgesetzt ist? Einschlägige Rechtsprechung zu Berufserkrankungen von Telearbeitern gibt es bisher nicht. Ein Urteil zu einer arbeitsplatzbedingten exogen allergischen Alveolitis lässt aufhorchen.

Röntgenkontrastmittel, die in der medizinischen Diagnostik eingesetzt werden, werden über den Abwasserpfad entsorgt. Für Röntgenuntersuchungen kann der Einsatz von Kontrastmittel notwendig sein, die vom Körper binnen 24 Stunden mit dem Urin wieder ausgeschieden werden. Diese werden in Kläranlagen nur geringfügig entfernt und gelangen somit in den Wasserkreislauf. Da sie nur schwer biologisch abbaubar sind, reichern sie sich in unseren Gewässern zunehmend an, was Messergebnisse an der Ruhr belegen.

Head-mounted displays and physically separated team tasks – effects of a shared visual context on performance Introduction: Teams are required to be physically separated to work in certain circumstances. Tasks like troubleshooting in industrial maintenance include the manipulation of objects and the interpretation of information from the work environment. It is harder for physically separated team members to do these jobs if they communicate exclusively via an audio connection. Technologies such as head-mounted displays can provide a shared visual context by enabling a look over the shoulder of a team member working in another location. Aim: The present study examined the impact of a shared visual context on performance in physically separated troubleshooting. Methods: An experimental study provided for 36 teams (72 subjects), each consisting of two test subjects who were in different rooms, to work on a synthetic fault diagnosis task that had been prepared beforehand. Results: Teams with a shared visual context resolved significantly more faults than teams without a shared visual context. Conclusion: In practice, the use of head-mounted displays must be given careful consideration since they are worn on the user’s body and may be perceived as restrictive or uncomfortable in certain circumstances.
