The buffering effects of positive emotion on the relationship between interpersonal conflict and relationship damage
Authors: Oh Sunyoung , Suh Youngwon
Published: November 2019

The purpose of the present research was to examine the buffering effects of positive emotion on the relationship between interpersonal conflict and relationship damage. The present research proposed the moderated mediation model in which perceived interactional injustice from the other party in conflict situations has an effect on relationship damage via residual emotion, and the strength of the mediation effect is weakened by the experience of positive emotion. Results from a sample of 215 participants showed that the strength of the mediated effects of perceived injustice on relationship damage through residual emotion was weaker at higher levels of positive emotion than at lower levels of positive emotion. These findings support the buffering effects of positive emotion on the relationship between perceived injustice in conflict and relationship damage, suggesting that the experience of positive emotion can serve as a protective factor against the negative effect of interpersonal conflict on relationship maintenance. The discussion focuses on implications of the findings in terms of conflict management, limitations and suggestions for future research.
“Mission Matters”
Authors: Kim ByungJik , Ji WonKoo , Jeon SangGil
Published: November 2019

The current study tested whether organizational trust mediated the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility(CSR) and organizational identification(OI). In order to investigate the hypotheses, 11843 employees in private bank were sampled across two time points. Using structural equation modeling(SEM), we set moderated mediation model which elaborately delves into the significance of the hypotheses. The results showed that organizational trust mediated the link between perceived CSR and OI. In addition, the relationship between perceived CSR and organizational trust was moderated by mission commitment. The implications and limitations, and suggestions for future research were discussed.
The effect of role stress on organizational commitment
Authors: Ryu SooMin , Yoo TaeYong
Published: November 2019

The first purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effect of psychological contract breach in the relationship between role stress(role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload) and organizational commitment. The second purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of resilience in the relationship between role stress(role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload) and psychological contract breach. For these purposes, data were collected from 267 employees working in various corporations by questionnaires. Results indicated that role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload have positive effects on psychological contract breach, and that psychological contract breach has a negative effect on organizational commitment. The psychological contract breach partially mediated the relationship between role ambiguity and organizational commitment, and fully mediated the relationship between role conflict and role overload and organizational commitment. The moderation effect of resilience was found because resilience weakens the positive relationship between role overload and psychological contract breach. Based on these results, academic and practical implications were discussed. Finally, the limitations of this study and directions for the future research were discussed.
Resilience as a mediator linking transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture to organizational effectiveness
Authors: Oh Sunyoung , Roh Sangchoong , Kang MinU , Suh Youngwon
Published: November 2019

The present research examined the possibility that transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture are antecedents of employees' resilience and employees' resilience plays as a mediator linking transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture to their happiness and organizational effectiveness. Specifically, we suggest that transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture serve as environmental factors to enhance employees' resilience, which eventually contributes to organizational effectiveness such as job motivation, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors via the path between resilience and happiness. Data were collected from 498 employees in various companies. The results found that resilience was positively related with job motivation, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors, and these relationships were mediated by happiness. Furthermore, it was found that both transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture were positively correlated with resilience, and had significant indirect effects on organizational effectiveness variables via the path between resilience and happiness, while only transformational leadership had direct effects on organizational effectiveness variables. These findings indicate that resilience is important for the beneficial effects of happiness on organizational effectiveness, and transformational leadership and person-centered organizational culture may increase organizational effectiveness by promoting employees' resilience. Finally, theoretical and practical implications, limitation and suggestion for future research are discussed.

Published: November 2019

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of management practices and biofertilization on microbialactivity in rhizosphere and yield of medicinal and aromatic plants. Field experiment was performed usingfour plant species: peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.), pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.), sweet basil(Ocimum basilicum L.), and dill (Anethum graveolens L.). Treatments were arranged in a split-plot layout infour replicates using basic plots under conventional and organic management, and subplots with and withoutbiofertilizer (Azotobacter chroococcum). Organic management positively affected the microbial number andactivity. Biofertilization increased the total microbial number (13–21%), number of ammonifiers (13–60%),nitrogen-fixing bacteria (7–36%), actinomycetes (36–50%), fungi (60–100%), cellulolytic microorganisms(57–217%), dehydrogenase (28–52%) and ß-glucosidase activity (15–39%). The effects of managementpractices and biofertilization were highly significant for the yield of examined plants. The yields were higheron inoculated treatments both in conventional (5–26%) and organic (7–15%) growing system.
ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC DIVERSITY AND RELATIONSHIPS AMONG GRAPEVINE CULTIVARS ORIGINATING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA USING ISSR MARKERS
Authors: Lisek Anna , Lisek Jerzy
Published: November 2019

The study shows genetic diversity of 38 Vitis vinifera L. cultivars and hybrids originating in North America and Europe, including cultivars selected in Poland, which have not been characterized with the use of DNA markers yet. The agrobiological features of the genotypes selected for testing, indicate that they may be useful for the breeding of new cultivars and grape production. The use of 12 ISSR primers allowed to obtain 94.4% of polymorphism. The polymorphic information content (PIC) value was high and varied between 0.829 and 0.953 with an average of 0.897. The resolving power (Rp) ranged between 3.678 and 8.892 with an average of 6.347. Primers UBC 809, UBC 810, UBC 812, UBC 855, UBC 891 and UBC 810 were found to be highly effective (informative). Similarity coefficient ranged between 0.167 and 1.0, which indicates high degree of diversity of tested  grape cultivars. Tested cultivars were grouped in 3 main clusters; one of them was further divided into 6 subclusters. ‘Pannonia Kincse’ and ‘Danmarpa Polonia’ were not differentiated. Phenotypic differences among those two cultivars suggest that ‘Danmarpa Polonia’ might be a clone of ‘Pannonia Kincse’ and other molecular techniques must be used to differentiate them. Morphological and agrobiological characters of cultivars support the results obtained by ISSR markers.

Published: November 2019

In the GC-MS analysis, 81 bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified in the hexane extracts of Cirsium creticum and Cirsium italicum. Terpenoids constituted the main fractions of C. italicum (70.95 %) while hydrocarbons were most abundant compounds of C. creticum (41.11 %). The antibacterial activity and antifungal activity of extracts from two Cirsium species was tested by using microdilution methods. According to the results of antibacterial activity, highest inhibition effect of C. creticum was found on B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The highest inhibition effect of C. italicum was found on B. subtilis. In the results of antifungal activity, highest inhibition effect of C. creticum was found on P. chrysogenum and highest inhibition effect of C. italicum was found on C. krusei. The present work is the first report on hexane extracts compounds of two Cirsium species as well as the antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Published: November 2019

Seed priming is one of the potential physiological approaches to enhance seed germination under salt stress. The present study examined the role of two seed priming molecules, salicylic acid (SA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), to enhance the salt tolerance in lentil seeds at germination stage. Salt stress caused significant decrease in germination percentage and primary root elongation. This decrease was associated with significant increase in lipid peroxidation and total lipid (TL) contents in embryonic axis. The catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxydase (GPOX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities remained unchanged or decreased significantly under the influence of salt stress, in both embryonic axis and cotyledons. Starch mobilization was not affected by salt stress. The two priming treatments effectively alleviated the negative effects of salt stress. SA and H2O2 applications after dose optimization resulted in significant enhancement of germination percentage and primary root elongation. No significant changes in starch, soluble sugars contents and SOD activity were detected following SA and H2O2 treatments. Seed priming treatments triggered the activities of GPOX and CAT and caused the reduction of lipid peroxidation especially in embryonic axis. TL content and especially the fatty acid C18:3 increased after SA applications. The better performance under salt stress of primed lentil seeds was associated with lower lipid peroxidation, and activation of enzymatic antioxidative defense system. Obtained results confirm the potential for using SA and H2O2 to improve germination and plant growth under salt stress conditions.
Influence of rootstock and grafting method on the grafts success and growth of Cedrus deodara (Roxb. ex Lamb.) ‘Karl Fuchs’ Plants
Authors: Świerczyński Sławomir , Kolasiński Marcin , Urbaniak Magdalena , Stachowiak Aleksander , Rybus-Zając Magdalena
Published: November 2019

Experimental studies were conducted in 2015–2017 in the Department of Dendrology, Pomology and Nursery of Poznan University of Life Sciences. The aim of the research was to study the usefulness of three rootstocks: Larix decidua, Pinus armandii, Cedrus deodara and two grafting methods: side grafting and split grafting for propagation purposes of Cedrus deodara ‘Karl Fuchs’. In addition, it was evaluated how the rootstock and the age of cultivar shoots influenced the level of chloroplast pigments in the needles. A higher percentage of grafts success was obtained on Pinus armandii and Cedrus deodara using the side grafting method. Grafted scions of ‘Karl Fuchs’ produced the greatest number of lateral buds and the longest lateral increments of growth on Cedrus deodara root stock. Side grafting significantly improved the percentage of plants that restarted their growth in the second year of cultivation. The largest number of buds on two-year-old shoots were counted on plants grafted on Cedrus deodara using split grafting method. The rootstocks used in this experiment had a slight effect on the content of chloroplast pigments in the needles. Plants grafted on Pinus armandii had the highest level of chlorophyll B, and those grafted on Larix decidua – chlorophyll A/B ratio. The content of chloroplast pigments in the needles depended on the age of shoots. The highest level of chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B and carotenoids was observed when needles were collected from the last year’s growth.
On Truth and Falsity in their Intertextual Sense: Adaptation as Dissimulation
Authors: Dicecco Nico
Published: November 2019

While critics have rejected fidelity as a ground for the analysis of adaptations since the seminal work of George Bluestone in 1957, the logic of source-faithfulness nonetheless persists in popular discourse. This essay considers the persistence of fidelity idealism by positing its basic assumptions as a necessary component for the interpretation of adaptations as such. It argues that fidelity discourse depends on the fallacious assumption that, at some level, an adaptation can replicate elements of a source text in a new medium. By shifting focus from the ostensibly inherent features of the adaptive text to the perceptions of the reader or viewer, it can be seen that adaptation is a class of metaphor, depending on what Nietzsche calls “equating the unequal.” Thus adaptation is paradoxical; it is necessarily different from its source text, but must be understood as partially replicating that source in order to be meaningful as an adaptation.
"'if buizy Love intrenches': Adorno and Rochester on Pleasure and Love
Authors: Conley Lacey Ann
Published: November 2019

John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester presents in his poetry an enigmatic and seemingly contradictory worldview that is a common topic of discussion amongst his critics. Marianne Thormählen talks about a “fundamental paradox that confronts a student of Rochester’s stances and values as expressed in his verse” which is that “the mind pursues satisfaction through the body;” but “minds are particularly unreliable guides and bodies are lamentably fallible” (27). Paul Hammond further argues, “His poetry often disturbs […] continuity through the fragmentation of experience into discrete moments which may be severed from any possible narrative” (49). It makes sense then that a body of work lacking narrative continuity can best be analyzed through the application of a theory that shares the same fragmented construction. Hammond’s description of Rochester’s poetry sounds a great deal like Devra Lee Davis’ assertion about Theodor Adorno that “His [thought] models are not duplicable, system-bound expressions: they are moments, expressions, and sketches,” and are arguably “mood betraying.” She goes on to describe his writing as an “orchestrated cacophony of outrage” (396), as if the author’s mood itself were the center of the interpretation, which is then “orchestrated” around it. From these critical observations it can be concluded that Rochester and Adorno are both notable for an intense authorial presence in their writing, revealing inconsistencies that can only come from the changeability of an active, individual mind that is not content with constructions of abstract theory, but also insists on the importance of individual experience. For Adorno, critical theory is only valuable when it considers specificity and difference, which makes his theory an ideal approach to consider the writing of the Earl of Rochester. Using Adorno’s Minima Moralia alongside a selection of Rochester’s poems, this study examines the interesting intersections in the observations and beliefs of Adorno and Rochester, specifically as they are expressed in ideas about sex, pleasure, and love, and explores the implications of these shared viewpoints as they manifest themselves in Rochester’s life and work.
The Antisocial Fantasies of Jude the Obscure
Authors: Risling Matthew Michael
Published: November 2019

This article discusses two prevalent tensions in Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure: Jude’s failed attempts to become a Christminster scholar, and his vexed sexual relationships. At different points in the novel’s publication history, Hardy figures each of these tensions as the novel’s primary conflict. By so doing, he seems to invite the reader to decide whether the novel is really about “the tragedy of unfulfilled aims” or “a deadly war waged between the flesh and spirit.”  Reading the novel through a psychoanalytic framework, I argue that  Hardy offers this as a false choice. Rather, I suggest that Jude’s academic and sexual ambitions are simply two manifestations of a single antisocial fantasy.
The Archive as Dumpster
Authors: Hogan Mél
Published: November 2019

In four exploratory theoretical gestures (appraise, dispose, hoard and mediate), I propose the ‘archive as dumpster’ as a framework for returning to the physical conditions of memory, where “picking through the trash” subverts traditional archival methodologies by insisting on the very material consequences of a culture inculcated in networked digital communications. I make an argument that by posing the archive as a mediatic question (Parikka 2013), we can begin to account for the ways in which the perceived immateriality and weightlessness of our data is in fact with immense humanistic, environmental, political, and ethical repercussions. It is also a means by which we come to understand who we are, looking forward. In both cases, pitting the archive’s orderly ambitions against the dumpster’s stinking mess reveals a ‘call of things’ (Bennett 2011); the slow and often distanced process of disposal and waste to remind us who we are, in and over time, in and out of our bodies, increasingly under the impression of a dematerialised engagement with our stuff.
“I cannot act!”: Fanny’s “Inaction” in the Economic Ideology Driving Mansfield Park
Authors: O'Neil Morgan
Published: November 2019

In early 19th century British culture, an ideology founded on economics permeates one of society’s most private affairs marriage between two individuals. In Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, the characters become a type of currency to be exchanged through marriage in order for others to gain power and wealth. Fanny Price, subjected to this objectification, comes to realize the inherent value that she possesses as a woman. Once she is given agency in the novel, she is able to live beyond the ideology of the novel. Her marriage allows her to recognize herself as being equal to her husband, Edmund Bertram, and join him in ownership of their property. Fanny and Edmund represent a new ideology that is founded on love and equality, rather than profit value.
In Search of the "Telling Detail": Ian McEwan, Briony Tallis, and the Demands of Authorship
Authors: Duffus Matthew
Published: November 2019

Much scholarly interest surrounding Ian McEwan's Atonement has focused on the abrupt shift that occurs in the novel's final section, "London, 1999." This essay argues that this section makes it clear that the main story of the novel is not Briony, Robbie, and Cecilia's entanglement due to Lola's teenaged rape but Briony's development as a writer, her kunstlerroman. As such, it is crucial to the novel, not simply a metafictional ploy, because it illuminates the lengths she has gone to in writing her final book and fulfilling her youthful promise. McEwan's response to a real-life plagiarism accusation reinforces his depiction of Briony as an author who searches for "the telling detail," as opposed to one who sticks to verifiable, historical accuracy.
Zahra: a Shattered Body and Voice from Lebanon
Authors: Rebeiz Mireille
Published: November 2019

This article examines the gradual disintegration of Zahra, a girl from Lebanon. It studies the role of mothers in patriarchal societies and the impact of their conservative education on their daughters’ emotional and psychological growths. Raised to believe in her inferiority due to her femaleness, Zahra constantly tries to live up to the social expectations for the female gender. Each subsequent trial ends in failure. When the civil war breaks out in Lebanon, the resulting societal chaos temporarily relieves Zahra from the duties of her gender. Only this break is shortly lived as Zahra is killed.
Shattering Silence and Stereotypes: Rihanna's Lyrical Reaction to Spectacular Violence
Authors: Mills Melinda Anne
Published: November 2019

In this article, I take up the charge of exploring how the celebrity status of Rihanna allowed audiences to see her humanity, even amidst the dehumanization of her through an objectification supported by media and society.  In the wake of that 2009 incident, Rihanna was denied her privacy specific to these events, largely because of her celebrity status.  In this way, her celebrity proved a double-edged sword, exposing her as a figure provoking the public’s attention and generating cognitive dissonance.  This dissonance stemmed from the illusion that celebrities remain untouched by the harsh realities of everyday life, including intimate partner violence.   That Rihanna became “every woman” even as she remained a superstar held in tension this reality.  This tension speaks to the normalized violence that pervades this society.  Ironically, it is this very celebrity status that helped to shatter the silence of violence.
The Poetics of Settler Fatalism: Responses to Ecocide from within the Anthropocene
Authors: Henderson Phil
Published: November 2019

It is impossible to think today, without thinking of the Anthropocene. As biospheres are pushed ever-closer towards exhaustion, collapse, and/or radically inhospitable transmutations, there is a simultaneous explosion of work striving to represent and understand this epoch. However, the Anthropocene should not be thought in isolation from other social, political, and ecological processes. In this paper, I investigate the Anthropocene’s intersection with settler colonialism. Of particular interest to this paper are the metaphorical and narrative accounts about wastelanded spaces; that is, how meaning is ascribed to the local manifests of the Anthropocene as they are birthed on colonized territories. I ask what sort of futurities or recuperations are imagined as extant within the Anthropocene; in particular, whether possibilities for anti-colonial futures are imagined as existing within or emerging from wastelanded spaces.    I investigate Richard-Yves Sitoski’s (settler) brownfields. In this intensely located book of poetry—which Sitoski describes as a “poetic ‘autogeography” of Owen Sound”—identifying the presence of what I call settler fatalism in the face of the Anthropocene and its attendant brownfields. I suggest this fatalism is brought about by a melancholic attachment to the processes of wastelanding that are endemic to settler colonization. The final section of this paper contrasts the settler fatalism of Sitoski with the still ambivalent, though more generative poetry of Liz Howard (Ashinaabek). I suggest that Howard’s Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent approaches the Anthropocene not as a terminal epoch, but as what Donna Haraway calls “a boundary event”.
Aliens’ Discourse in the Vocabulary of Authority and Science during the Period of Revolution and Socialist Transformations in Siberia (1917–1930s)
Authors: Konev A. Yu.
Published: November 2019

The evolution of terminology for describing Siberian ethnicities in Soviet Russia and the USSR, and Russian Empire has recently become the subject of research interest for historians. Studying this subject is important for understanding the features of socialist construction in so-called national outskirts. This article focuses on the term “inorodtsy” (aliens). Analysis of sources showed that the language for describing the autochthonous population was rather conservative and was changing considerably slower than political transformations appeared. Former names for social groups were not immediately replaced by new emerging concepts. Challenging the new Soviet political vocabulary, the term aliens was still actively used until the late 1920s due to the following reasons. First of all, such institutions of the Imperial Russia as inorodtsy local governments and yasak were still functioning during the first years after the revolution. Second, political environment of protracted civil confrontation in the region. Third, the self-identification of the indigenous ethnicities by the means of imperial categories of social stratification (yasak aliens) which the peoples used to justify their special case in post-revolutionary Russia. The usage of this terminology in scientific and popular literature was also caused by the aliens’ discourse being associated with the field of historical experience relevant for the researchers. Ideology trends aimed at radically rethinking this experience and creating an image of socialist future for the indigenous ethnicities, hence the term inorodtsy was replaced with new definitions, and moreover it was banished from the language in the early 1930s.
“On Partial Delatvization of Altgubcom”: the Personnel Policy of the Regional Party Leadership of Siberia towards the Altai Provincial Committee of the RCP(b) (March – June 1924)
Authors: Morozova T. I.
Published: November 2019

The functioning of any organization depends, in many ways, on the personnel policy. The implementation of the directives of the Russian Communist party and any changes in the political course required dedicated and efficient cadre. In scientific literature one can often come across the statement according to which the party authority successfully resisted political clans, formed at the local level, through intensive personnel replacements. This article aims to describe the human resource policy of the Siberian regional party administration towards to the Altai provincial Committee of the RCP(b) in March – June 1924. In particular, the author planned to find out whether employee transfers were actually effective, who made decisions about the replacement of the staff members and how they reacted to these replacements. Studying historical sources, that were found in the State archive of the Novosibirsk region and the State archive of the Altai territory, the author revealed the staffing structure of the Bureau of the Altai gubkom and analyzed the relationships bound the members of this organization. The research showed that the Altai gubkom secretary A. I. Podneck and the chairman of the provincial executive committee L. E. Goldich completely failed cooperation work, and this circumstance forced the Siberian krai committee of RCP(b) to start personnel replacements, which mainly meant sending away high-ranking officials-Latvians from the province. The paper concludes by arguing that in the first half of the 1920s, employee transfers were a universal means of fighting political clans. However, Siberian regional party leadership used them only as a last resort, because of the difficulties to find an appropriate successor for the dismissed official.
The Correspondence between V. I. Malyshev and M. N. Tikhomirov about the Preservation of Manuscripts
Authors: Matkhanova N. P. , Titova L. V. , Yudin A. A.
Published: November 2019

The article analyzes the correspondence between two outstanding archaeographers of the 20th century – academician M. N. Tikhomirov and founder of the Archive of Ancient Relics (Institute of Russian Literature (the Pushkin House), Russian Academy of Sciences) V. I. Malyshev. The paper aims to research, how they understood and discussed the problem of preservation of manuscripts. The authors studied 182 letters from Malyshev to Tikhomirov (for 1947–1965) stored at the private fund of M. N. Tihomirovand 66 letters from Tikhomirov to Malyshev (for the same period) as well as the memoirs and articles of Tikhomirov and Malyshev themselves, their students and followers. Comparison of the sources revealed their understanding of the essence of the problem and possible ways of its solution. The authors highlighted the general and particular in the views of two correspondents on the issue of the preservation of manuscripts. According to Malyshev, at that time the most urgent task was a collection of the manuscripts kept by ordinary people. Tikhomirov, recognizing the importance of the above-mentioned mission, insisted that maintenance of archives was just as crucial. At the same time both of them agreed on the need to organize the archaeographic expeditions, examine and registrate private collections, monitor preservation of materials in state archives, publish manuscripts, involve government resources and stimulate public attention to the problem. The letters show the mutual respect of the correspondents, their understanding of the merits of each other as well as demonstrate their successful cooperation. Together Malyshev and Tikhomirow completed reconstruction of the Archaeographic Commission, effectively promoted their common cause in the press and impressively replenished the Tikhomirov’s collection of manuscripts and old printed books (later accurately transferred to Novosibirsk). The analysis of the above-mentioned sources leads to the following conclusions: even today the experience of Soviet scholars is still relevant.
The Problem of Sources and Proved Knowledge in History: Operation “Legacy” and Transfer of Power in India
Authors: Shkitin D. I.
Published: November 2019

Great Britain implemented a model of transfer of power in India by granting independence to the country while preserving its place in the Commonwealth of Nations. The key element was handing over governance by Imperial authorities to local forces by legal means. The transfer of power led to the building of nation-states in former British India. The completion of the process marked a new stage for contemporary India and enabled Indian political institutions to operate on the basis of the British Empire’s legacy since that time. Therefore, the legacy’s values were important features of the power transfer. However, the Imperial legacy had material representation in numerous official documents kept in colonial offices. Some documents being witnesses of the British governance were eliminated by Britain’s ‘Operation Legacy.’ During the Operation, some of the official papers were incinerated, while others retained under the title of ‘legacy papers’. A connection between the transfer of power and Operation Legacy has not been explored to date, but one may exist. Some questions are: could the two processes, one of which had finished in 1947 and the other had commenced, supposedly, in 1947, be interconnected? Could the transfer of power have influenced Operation Legacy, and could Operation Legacy, in turn, have become a part of other colonial power transfers by Britain after Indian independence? The article aims to investigate how Britain’s experience in India influenced its developing Operation Legacy in other colonies and whether it later changed the practices of transfer of power. The author discusses why the first indications of a well-organized Operation Legacy emerged in Ceylon in late 1947, when Ceylon sought independence. This became known as the result of the internal inquiry by the Foreign Office, also known as the Cary Report.
Antimigrant Policy of Visegrad Group Countries
Authors: Belkina P. Yu.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the policy of Visegrad countries in response to the migrant crisis in the EU and analyzes the current position of the countries on the migrant crisis regulation. Nowadays V4 countries state that the main instrument for solution of the refugee problem is implementation of strict border control. They provide harsh migrant policy at the national level that aims to restrict migrant inflow in the countries. The Visegrad countries contest EU migrant quotas as forced and challenge European position as violation of national sovereignty. On the other hand, the EU insists on the realization of the unified migration policy and underlines the principle of solidarity as one of the key values of the Union. Furthermore, recent political changes, such as the growth of nationalist and populist parties inside V4, had a significant influence on the position of the countries. In other words, the policy towards migrant problem became more rigid, comparing to the other members of the EU. The confrontation has already led to the court examination and continues to be the principal cause of general deterioration of relationships between the old and new member states of the EU. Despite all the measures undertaken by the European Commission the countries of the region stubbornly stick to their opinion. Even Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which are not as intractable as Poland and Hungary, still follow the same policy. The migrant crisis draws attention to the brewing crisis and shows the weakening of the EU supranational institutions.

Published: November 2019

Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) em mulheres com Síndrome do Ovário Policístico (SOP) assistidas em duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) na cidade de Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva, transversal e quantitativa, realizada com 38 mulheres com SOP assistidas em duas UBS, mediante o Questionário de Qualidade de vida relacionada à Saúde da Síndrome do Ovário Policístico (PCOSQ – polycystic ovary syndrome questionnaire) e Questionário Sociodemográfico construído para o estudo. Resultados: A amostra foi composta de jovens (63,2%) solteiras (50%), pardas (68,4%), com ensino médio completo (44,7%), não etilistas (78,9%) e não tabagistas (100%). Nos domínios analisados, problemas com peso, pelos e alterações menstruais, configuraram-se como as manifestações da síndrome com impacto máximo na QV de mulheres avaliadas, sendo que a maioria não possui autoconsciência de sua própria condição. Conclusão: As mulheres com SOP possuem uma heterogeneidade de manifestações, sendo preocupante a falta de autoconsciência destas. O presente estudo fortalece a ideia de que a abordagem das pacientes deve visar a conscientização, além de ser multiprofissional, dentro de suas particularidades e subjetividade, tendo em conta as demandas apresentadas e seus impactos no bem-estar físico e emocional.

Published: November 2019

Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade da assistência em saúde em controlar o tabagismo e analisar a influência de sintomas psicológicos associados a esse processo. Métodos: Assistência multiprofissional em saúde, por meio da redução de danos como os atendimentos individuais, terapia de grupo e disponibilização de medicamentos. Realizaram-se acompanhamento a 30 tabagistas, durante 60 dias, e analisou-se a efetividade da proposta através do teste de Fagerström. A influência de sintomas psicológicos foi investigada através do questionário EADS-21. Resultados: Os usuários apresentaram uma dependência elevada ou muito elevada no início do tratamento (73,3%). A assistência prestada demonstrou-se efetiva, pois 50% dos pacientes interromperam o hábito de fumar.

Impuesto especial a alimentos y bebidas y su impacto en la inflación en México: dinámica, persistencia y cambio de régimen
Authors: Mendoza-Velázquez Alfonso , Aguirre Sedeño Dillan
Published: November 2019

Objetivo.El objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar la fuerza de traslado, la transición y la persistencia del impuesto especial sobre productos y servicios (IEPS) a alimentos y bebidas de densidad energética alta, sobre la tasa de inflación anual de estos alimentos y sobre las bebidas gaseosas, en vigencia desde enero de 2014.

Métodos.Se calcularon las tasas de inflación anualizadas para cada alimento y bebida desde enero de 2010 hasta diciembre de 2016 a partir de datos mensuales del índice nacional de precios al consumidor (INPC). Se empleó un modelo de regímenes cambiantes para estimar el impacto del impuesto sobre la dinámica inflacionaria de las bebidas y los alimentos, así como su transición, persistencia y las posibles rupturas.

Resultados.La dinámica inflacionaria de los alimentos de contenido calórico alto y las bebidas gaseosas sujetas a impuesto tiene una varianza alta. El impuesto fue trasladado a la inflación de algunos productos de densidad calórica alta de manera gradual, antes de regresar a los niveles inflacionarios previos al impuesto. La continuidad del impuesto no afecta la dinámica inflacionaria de los alimentos a partir de 2015.

Conclusiones.El impuesto debe ir acompañado de medidas que faciliten su persistencia y traslado a la dinámica inflacionaria de los productos con impuesto. La recaudación de estos impuestos debe fomentar y facilitar el consumo de alternativas saludables, así como acompañarlo de medidas educativas que modifiquen los hábitos de consumo de manera sostenida en el mediano plazo y el largo plazo.
Antibiotic consumption in Belgian acute care hospitals: analysis of the surveillance methodology, consumption evolution 2003 to 2016 and future perspectives

Background

Studies have demonstrated the link between antimicrobial consumption and the development of antimicrobial resistance. Surveillance of antimicrobial consumption is an action point of the European Commission’s ‘One Health Action Plan Against Antimicrobial Resistance’.

Aim

This study aims to compare two methodologies for antibiotic consumption surveillance, investigate the 14-year evolution of antibiotic consumption in Belgian acute care hospitals and discuss future perspectives.

Methods

We compared self-reported data (old methodology) and reimbursement data (new methodology) of national antibiotic consumption surveillance in hospitals. Descriptive analyses were performed on the reimbursement data collected per year and per trimester (2003–2016), per hospital and per unit. Antibiotic consumption was compared with European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption Network (ESAC-Net) results.

Results

The median differences for defined daily doses (DDDs)/1,000 patient days and DDDs/1,000 admissions were 3.09% and 3.94% when comparing the old vs new methodology. Based on reimbursement data, the median antibiotic consumption in 2016 in 102 Belgian acute care hospitals was 577.1 DDDs/1,000 patient days and 3,890.3 DDDs/1,000 admissions with high variation between hospitals (interquartile ranges (IQR): 511.3–655.0 and 3,450.0–4,400.5, respectively), and similar to 2015. Based on DDDs/1,000 patient days, the magnitude of consumption is comparable with the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, but is higher when based on DDDs/1,000 admissions.

Conclusion

Antibiotic consumption in Belgian acute care hospitals has remained overall stable over time. However, the high variation across hospitals should be further investigated. This surveillance data could be used for benchmarking and assessing interventions to improve antibiotic consumption in these hospitals.
