A Reinterpretation of Kumarajiva’s Translation Thought and Its Enlightenment to the “Going Out” of Chinese Culture
Authors: Zhang Cheng
Published: March 2022

The translation of Buddhist sutras has played a vital role in the spread of Buddhism in China, of which Kumarajiva has made a great contribution. With his unique translation ideas and translation practices, he made it easier for the Buddhist scriptures to be accepted by the public, thus promoting the spread of Buddhism and the exchange and integration of ancient Indian civilization and Chinese culture. Now, our country is also actively advocating the strategy of “culture going out”. To promote China’s culture to go abroad, to spread Chinese cultural symbols and values to the world?we will enhance China’s international discourse power and the international influence of Chinese culture, thus further enhancing China’s cultural soft power. In this context, more and more Sinology classics go to the world through translation, among which the translation of Sinology classics in English is undoubtedly the mainstream. Based on this, Kumarajiva’s translation thoughts can be used for reference to the translation process of “Chinese culture going out”, for instance, how to deal with cultural untranslatability and translate some words with cultural characteristics, which can better promote the spread of Chinese culture and enhance China’s international influence.

Authors: Swaroop Dasagrandhi Veda
Published: March 2022

Abstract: Nowadays, the study on natural fibers has gradually increased because of the environmental concerns due to usage of synthetic fibers. The natural fibres properties such as biodegradability, availability, strength made them a potential replacement of synthetic fibers. Hybrid Fibre reinforced composites are the composites that comprises two or more different fibres. The banana and jute fibres are selected because of their strength, moisture absorption capacity , availability. The epoxy resin is selected as a matrix to bind the fibres and to transfer a uniform load. Banana-Jute Hybrid fibre reinforced epoxy composite with different stacking sequences (BJB, BBJ, JBJ,JJB where B=Banana Fibre, J=Jute Fibre) will be fabricated by Hand-layup process for analyzing Shore hardness of composite samples and the same composite samples will be modelled in ANSYS to analyse the Flexural properties, tensile properties and Impact strength of composite samples. Keywords: ANSYS, Hand-layup, Shore Hardness, Flexural properties, Tensile properties.

Authors: Chandra Nalli Vijaya , Ramaraju K. V. V.
Published: March 2022

Abstract: Concrete is most commonly and widely used material in infrastructure development. Coarse aggregate is major ingredient of concrete which constitutes to about 60 to 70% in terms of volume of Concrete. The cost of coarse aggregate is increasing day by day due to its limited availability and large demand. In the present work, Quartzite is used as an alternate material to coarse aggregate and have studied various engineering and mechanical properties. Experimental studies were performed on plain cement concrete by replacing coarse aggregate up to 100% and durability studies were performed by 100% replacement of coarse aggregate. The mix design and test methods are followed in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards. The optimum percentage of quartzite replacement to coarse aggregate is found at 20%.The compressive strength increased at 20% and compressive strength at 100% replacement was found to be 53.2 N/mm2 and 48.8 N/mm2.The concrete made with quartzite performed well in terms of compressive strength and showed higher performance for 28,60,90,120 days than conventional concrete when exposed to sea water, acid exposure and temperature effect and showed satisfactory performance when exposed to sulphate exposure. The overall performance of quartzite is reasonably good when exposed to various weathering conditions and the same can be replaced as coarse aggregate in concrete. Keywords: Quartzite, Concrete, Coarse Aggregate, Compressive Strength.

THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAPITAL WITH SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES PERFORMANCE
Authors: Astuti Nelly
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the moderating effect of entrepreneurial education and experience on the relationship between capital and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) performance. The reason is that the relationship has been tested by researchers, but the results are inconsistent. For that purpose, 6 SMEs and their entrepreneurs were randomly selected to be the objects and subjects in this study. The data analysis used a linear regression model, and the results showed: (1) Capital is positively and significantly related to performance, but the performance of SMEs which are controlled by male entrepreneurs is superior to that of female entrepreneurs; (2) education and experience of entrepreneurs significantly strengthen the relationship between capital and performance. However, the full moderation effect is stronger than the partial moderation effect. This means that education and experience moderate the relationship together, and not separately. From the gender perspective, the moderation effect was also superior for SMEs controlled by male entrepreneurs than for female entrepreneurs.

Representative Board Governance: What Role Do Board Directors Have in Representing the Interest of Their Constituents?
Authors: Piscitelli Anthony , Geobey Sean
Published: March 2022

The current ethos of most nonprofit boards of directors focuses on role clarity between board directors and the executive director. The board’s role is to collectively set strategic direction and provide oversight while leaving day-to-day operations to staff. Yet, many individual directors join a board to make an impact on the organization by addressing very specific operational concerns and/or to represent a stakeholder group, and this creates tension at the board table. This article explores whether there is necessarily a trade-off between the representative and good governance roles of a nonprofit board director. It will demonstrate that the tension between representing member interests and governing nonprofits is a false dichotomy. Reconciling these two interests offers some potential avenues for improved organizational accountability.
Innovation sociale et travail institutionnel : le rôle des organismes communautaires dans l'évolution des politiques sociales au Québec
Authors: Jetté Christian , Bergeron-Gaudin Jean-Vincent
Published: March 2022

Au Québec, la participation des organismes communautaires à l’élaboration et à la mise en oeuvre des politiques sociales au niveau provincial depuis les années 1970 est une réalité empirique connue et bien documentée. En nous appuyant sur la notion de travail institutionnel, telle que développé par l’institutionnalisme sociologique, nous démontrons comment ces acteurs du tiers secteur ont pu jouer un rôle actif dans l’institutionnalisation de certaines de leurs pratiques et opérer ainsi un travail de création institutionnelle. À partir de trois études de cas dans le domaine de la santé et des services sociaux portant sur des pratiques innovantes (approche Carpe Diem, gestion autonome de la médication et soutien communautaire en logement social), nous faisons ressortir plus particulièrement deux formes de travail institutionnel exercé par ces acteurs : la constitution de réseaux normatifs, qui favorise le changement des normes d’intervention dans un secteur donné, et la construction d’identités, qui conditionne l’action collective.
When the means modify the ends. (E)Valuating and transforming the purpose of a nonprofit organization through impact assessment.
Authors: Mailhot Chantale , Michaud Valérie , Tello-Rozas Sonia
Published: March 2022

In a context marked by a trend towards marketization and a rise in performance measures, nonprofit organizations (NPOs) suffer pressures to show that their activities have visible impacts. Based on the French pragmatist sociology’s Economies of Worth framework, we explore how NPOs may come to change what they value and what is their fundamental purpose. More specifically, we delve into the process of valuation triggered by the intervention of consultants to help a NPO develop an impact evaluation tool aimed at legitimizing its actions. Our findings show how this process led to a complete redefinition of the NPO’s “theory of change”, ultimately distantiating the NPO from its initial, explicit purposes.
An Optimality-Theoretic Study of Nasalization in Mbaise
Authors: Oyinloye Mayowa Emmanuel , Anyanwu Chinedu Nwadinobi
Published: March 2022

Within the ambit of Optimality Theory, this paper examined the phonological distribution of nasalized consonants and nasalized vowels in the Mbaise dialect of Igbo (spoken in Nigeria) with a view to identifying the relevant constraint hierarchies controlling their surface realization. Using the West African Linguistic Society Questionnaire and a researcher-designed wordlist, the data were obtained via structured oral interview from two competent native speakers of the dialect, and were analyzed using a descriptive approach grounded on the chosen theoretical framework. Arising from the analysis were the following findings: Mbaise operates two systems of nasal specification ‒ the contrastive type affecting consonants and the context-induced type affecting vowels; nasalized consonants are phonemic while nasalized vowels are allophonic; the nasalized consonants are largely restricted to intervocalic position while the nasalized vowels appear after tautosyllabic nasal(ized) consonants. It was argued that the surface realization of the nasalized consonants is controlled by IDENT-CONS/NAS whereas that of the nasalized vowels is controlled by *NV[-nasal]. Despite the difference in their phonological distribution and functional status, Mbaise nasalized consonants and nasalized vowels have a structural relationship within the syllable in which they occur. Therefore, it was concluded that their well-formedness is governed by a single hierarchy: IDENT-CONS/NAS, *NV[-nasal] >> *FRIC/NAS, *LIQ/NAS >> *CONS/NAS, *V/NAS >> IDENT-IO(nasal).

Published: March 2022

Human’s head takes the most important part in human’s part of body which leads to the frequent use of  head in language uses. This study therefore aims to investigate how head is conceptualized through the use of metaphor in Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and how the conceptual metaphors are projected through image schemas. The data were obtained  from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a rich data sources relevant to the study. This study applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT)  proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (2008). Sentences which contain head metaphors were selected, analyzed, and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process and image schemas.  The findings of the study showed that head is mostly metaphorically used as a container which is conceptualized as a head is a container.The most image schemas used are containment schemas which show in-out,  full-empty,  and surface schemas. The image-schemas have indeed been shown to likely become the basis of numerous metaphorical constructions and have been helpful to understand how people cognize their world.

Other comprehensive income and the cost of debt capital
Authors: Salama Feras M. , Zoubi Taisier A.
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this paper is to examine the association between the cost of debt and other comprehensive income (OCI) and its components for a sample of US firms. The empirical analysis is conducted on a sample of 4,350 firm-years observations for the period 2008–2018. In conducting the analysis, we first run the models using ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions and correcting for heteroskedasticity using White (1980) standard errors. Then, we compute the F-statistic using a Wald test. The main results indicate that the separate disclosure of foreign currency translation adjustments, pension adjustments, available-for-sale marketable securities, and derivative securities and/or foreign currency hedging adjustments and the total OCI provide information that is relevant for the cost of debt. Our results will benefit creditors, standard setters, and regulators when examining the effect of each component of OCI on the cost of debt capital. Our study enriches the recent stream of research that investigates the usefulness of decomposing other comprehensive income into its components. This paper contributes to the accounting literature on the value relevance of OCI to the users of the financial statements by showing the effect of OCI on the cost of debt capital. This study supplements and extends the prior research, which documents the value relevance of OCI to the cost of equity capital

Published: March 2022

Objective: To assess clinical outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic
Valve Replacement in stenotic bicuspid aortic valve patients.
Methods: The search of clinical articles was conducted by using
Pubmed, Embase, The Cochrane Library databases. We compared clinical
outcomes of efficacy and safety endpoints between stenotic bicuspid
aortic valve(BAV) and tricuspid aortic valve(TAV) patients according to
Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria. Results: 20
studies were included in the current meta analysis. BAV groups showed
higher post-procedural paravalvular leakage and stroke rate compared
with TAV groups. No discrepancy were detected in the mean aortic
gradient and aortic valve area between two groups. The 30-day and 1-year
mortality were similar in both groups. BAV group was more likely to be
associated with lower device success and higher incidence of conversion
to surgical aortic valve replacement, second valve implantation and
annular rupture. No difference was found in the incidence of permanent
pacemaker implantation, acute kidney disease, life-threatening bleeding
and myocardial infarction between bicuspid and tricuspid patients.
Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of TAVR in BAV patients
were not as ideal as those in TAV patients. Cautious and adequate
discussion must be made before we decide to perform TAVR procedure for
BAV patients.

and SGOT were 4.08 and 3.03 U/L, respectively (P<0.05). FBS
reduced from 108.53 to 97.96 mg/dL after 4-weeks of celery
administration (P<0.01). The decrease in TC, TG, LDL, and
increase in HDL were 16.37, 16.22, 11.84, and 2.52 mg/dL, respectively
(P<0.001). Conclusions: According to the promising results of
this clinical trial, celery seed extract can be considered a safe
supplement for hypertensive patients.
Ultra-Compact accurate wave functions for He-like and Li-like iso-electronic sequences and variational calculus. III. Spin-quartet state of the Lithium sequence
Authors: Nader Daniel Julian , Valle Juan Carlos del , Vieyra Juan Carlos Lopez , Turbiner Alexander
Published: March 2022

As a continuation of Part I, dedicated to the ground state of He-like
and Li-like isoelectronic sequences for nuclear charges $Z
\leq 20$, and Part II, dedicated to two excited states
of He-like sequence, two ultra-compact wave functions in the form of
generalized Guevara-Harris-Turbiner functions are constructed for
Li-like sequence. They describe accurately the domain of applicability
of the Quantum Mechanics of Coulomb Charges (QMCC) for energies (2-3
significant digits (s.d.)) of the spin-quartet state $1^40^+$ of
Li-like ions (in static approximation with point-like, infinitely heavy
nuclei). Variational parameters are fitted in $Z$ by 2nd degree
polynomials. The most accurate ultra-compact function leads to the
absolute accuracy $\sim
10^{-3}$\,a.u. for energy, and
$\sim 10^{-4}$ for the normalized electron-nuclear
cusp parameter for $Z \leq 20$. Critical charge
$Z=Z_B$, where the ultra-compact trial function for the
$1^40^+$ state looses its square-integrability, is estimated,
$Z_B(1^4\,0^+) \sim 1.26 - 1.30$.
As a complement to Part I, square integrability for the compact
functions constructed for the {\it ground, spin-doublet
state} $1^2\,0^+$ of the Li-like sequence is
discussed. The critical charge, for which these functions stop to be
normalizable, is estimated as $Z_B( 1^2\,0^+) =
1.62 - 1.65$. It implies that at $Z=2$ - the negative helium ion
He$^-$ - both states $1^2\,0^+$ and
$1^4\,0^+$ exist as states embedded to continuum.

Purpose: Exome sequencing has a diagnostic yield ranging from
25% to 70% in rare diseases and regularly implicates genes in novel
disorders. Prospective data reanalysis has demonstrated strong efficacy
in improving diagnosis, but poses organizational difficulties for
clinical laboratories. We applied a reanalysis strategy based on
intensive prospective bibliographic monitoring, and directly applied the
Globally search for a Regular Expression and Print matching lines (GREP)
command-line to a massive ES database. Methods: For 18 months,
we submitted daily the same 5 keywords of interest (( intellectual
disability, ( neuro)developmental delay, (neuro)developmental
disorder)) to PubMed, to identify recently published, novel
disease-gene associations, or new phenotypes in genes already implicated
in human pathology. We used the Linux GREP command-line and an in-house
script, to collect all variants in these genes from our 5459 exome
database. Results: We grepped 128 genes and collected 56
candidate variants in 53 individuals. We confirmed causal diagnosis for
19/128 genes (15%) in 21 individuals, and identified variants of
unknown significance for 19/128 genes (15%) in 23 individuals.
Altogether, we confirmed pathogenicity in 21/2875 undiagnosed affected
probands (0.7%). Conclusion: The GREP command-line is
efficient, and less tedious than complete periodical reanalysis. It is
an interesting reanalysis strategy to improve diagnosis.

Estimated Life-Years Gained Free of New or Recurrent Major Cardiovascular Events With the Addition of Semaglutide to Standard of Care in People With Type 2 Diabetes and High Cardiovascular Risk
Authors: Westerink Jan , Matthiessen Kasper Sommer , Nuhoho Solomon , Fainberg Udi , Lyng Wolden Michael , Østergaard Helena Bleken , Visseren Frank , Sattar Naveed
Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a post hoc analysis of pooled data from Trial to Evaluate Cardiovascular and Other Long-term Outcomes with Semaglutide in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (SUSTAIN) 6 and Peptide Innovation for Early Diabetes Treatment (PIONEER) 6. We estimated the benefit of adding semaglutide to standard of care (SoC) on life-years free of new/recurrent CVD events in people with T2D at high risk of CVD.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The Diabetes Lifetime-perspective prediction (DIAL) competing risk–adjusted lifetime CVD risk model for people with T2D was developed previously. Baseline characteristics of the pooled cohort from SUSTAIN 6 and PIONEER 6 (POOLED cohort) (N = 6,480) were used to estimate individual life expectancy free of CVD for patients in the POOLED cohort. The hazard ratio of MACE from adding semaglutide to SoC was derived from the POOLED cohort (hazard ratio [HR] 0.76 [95% CI 0.62–0.92]) and combined with an individual’s risk to estimate their CVD benefit.

RESULTS

Adding semaglutide to SoC was associated with a wide distribution in life-years free of CVD gained, with a mean increase of 1.7 (95% CI 0.5–2.9) life-years. Estimated life-years free of CVD gained with semaglutide was dependent on baseline risk (life-years free of CVD gained in individuals with established CVD vs. those with cardiovascular risk factors only: 2.0 vs. 0.2) and age at treatment initiation.

CONCLUSIONS

Adding semaglutide to SoC was associated with a gain in life-years free of CVD events that was dependent on baseline CVD risk and age at treatment initiation. This study helps contextualize the results of semaglutide clinical trials.

Using the National Health Insurance Service Database, we screened subjects who underwent general health checkups twice in a 2-year interval between 2009 and 2012. After identifying 1,522,241 patients with T2DM without a previous history of MI, IS, AF, and HF, we followed them until December 2018. Patients were stratified according to the magnitude of weight changes between two general health checkups: ≤ −10%, −10 to ≤ −5%, −5 to ≤5%, 5 to ≤10%, and >10%.

Results

During the follow-up (median 7.0 years), 32,106 cases of MI, 44,406 cases of IS, 34,953 cases of AF, 68,745 cases of HF, and 84,635 all-cause deaths occurred. Patients with weight changes of −5 to ≤5% showed the lowest risk of each cardiovascular event. Both directions of weight change were associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. Stepwise increases in the risks of MI, IS, AF, HF, and all-cause death were noted with progressive weight gain (all P < 0.0001). Similarly, the more weight loss occurred, the higher the cardiovascular risks observed (all P < 0.0001). The U-shaped associations were consistently observed in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Explorative subgroup analyses also consistently showed a U-shaped association.

CONCLUSIONS

Both weight loss and gain >5% within a 2-year interval were associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM.
La investigación acción como estrategia de reflexión, mejora y cambio en la práctica docente de la enseñanza de lenguas
Authors: Peralta-Castro Fernando , Mayoral-Valdivia Pedro José

La investigación acción (IA) se entiende como el proceso reflexivo de búsqueda realizado por los integrantes de una comunidad para conocer su práctica y lograr mejorar la lógica y la justicia de sus propias acciones. En tal sentido, este artículo presenta los resultados de una indagación sobre el uso de la IA como estrategia de reflexión, mejora y cambio en un programa de formación de docentes de lenguas extranjeras en una universidad del occidente mexicano. El estudio, en su dimensión epistemológica, se realizó desde el posicionamiento constructivista, ya que el investigador se fusionó con el objeto analizado. El trabajo fue cualitativo y contempló la aplicación de un cuestionario abierto con el propósito de obtener información de un grupo de estudiantes, docentes en formación. Los datos se analizaron con el software Atlas.ti, lo que permitió conseguir 31 códigos y cuatro categorías. Los resultados muestran que la IA ayuda al docente en formación a detectar problemas en su práctica a través de la reflexión, así como a mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas y favorecer la formación académico-investigativa, aunque los hallazgos también revelan la complejidad que un proyecto de IA puede representar para estudiantes universitarios.
Formas de conocer centradas en el sujeto, y la invitación a ser sujetos implicados en el problema y la realidad que se quiere conocer
Authors: Valiente Silvia
Published: March 2022

En artículo reúne aportes de tres investigadores de la región cuya forma de conocer remite al esquema epistemológico sujeto-sujeto. Los autores referenciados (Ortíz Ocaña, Torres Carrillo y Sandoval Álvarez) comparten un posicionamiento ético-político y epistemológico desde el cual buscan superar lo aparente y captar las emergencias, investigando “desde y con el sujeto” y no “sobre el sujeto”. Como nos advierten, no basta la buena intención del investigador, afinidad o empatía, sino que es necesario también sentirse parte del grupo investigado, lo que requiere imbuirnos de sus reflexiones, sentires, sueños, deseos, tradiciones, costumbres y valores (Ortíz Ocaña, Arias López y Pedrozo Conedo, 2018; Ortíz Ocaña y Arias López, 2019). Estas prácticas entran en diálogo con las formas de narrar la historia desde abajo (Torres Carrillo, 2017), y eso entra en complementación con una forma de “investigar desde el sujeto en perspectiva de autonomía” (Sandoval Álvarez y Alonso Sánchez, 2015; Salcido Serrano y Sandoval Álvarez, 2016; Sandoval Álvarez, 2016, 2021). En suma, acuerdan en que debe prevalecer el pensar epistémico sobre el teórico como base para pensar, categorizar y recategorizar, asumiendo que las categorías son polisémicas y no atadas a un “mirar desde” (Zemelman, 2005). Esto demanda hacer un uso crítico de los conceptos y teorías. En , recorreremos las aportaciones de estos tres autores, y nos detendremos en el último para entender qué significa ser sujeto implicado en el problema y la realidad que se quiere conocer.
La didactobiografí­a como dispositivo de construcción de conocimiento desde la conciencia histórica
Authors: Hernández González Guillermo
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo busca exponer los elementos que se ponen en juego en la construcción de didactobiografías como un dispositivo que permite la emergencia del sujeto para la construcción de procesos de comprensión de las realidades sociales, siendo al mismo tiempo una herramienta que permite enseñar a investigar desde una visión de la conciencia histórica y la didáctica-no parametral. El artículo se desarrolla desde el meta-análisis del proceso de un grupo que cursa programas de posgrado en IPECAL, y se divide en los elementos didáctico-metodológicos que están presentes durante el proceso de escritura de la historicidad de la experiencia de los sujetos. a narración de vida.
A 70 años del Convenio para la represión de la trata de personas y de la explotación de la prostitución ajena: la capacidad de la sociedad civil de impulsar cambios
Authors: Capriles Victoria
Published: March 2022

En 1951 entró en vigor el Convenio para la represión de la trata de personas y de la explotación de la prostitución ajena, tratado internacional que por casi cincuenta años fue el documento jurídico clave en la lucha contra la trata de personas. Así, este año se cumplen siete décadas de su entrada en vigor, por lo que este artículo se enfocará en dicho Convenio. La metodología por utilizar será documental, particularmente artículos de revistas académicas arbitradas, capítulos de libros, documentos de organizaciones no gubernamentales bien acreditadas, así como de agencias de las Naciones Unidas, y diversas fuentes de derecho internacional sobre la materia. En cuanto a la estructura, primero se realizará una revisión histórica de cómo el movimiento feminista logró posicionar este tema en la agenda política internacional. Luego se analizará el contenido del Convenio de 1951 y la recepción recibida. Finalmente, se explicarán los nuevos tratados en materia de trata de personas que han surgido con posterioridad al Convenio de 1951 y se elaborarán unas conclusiones al respecto de su efectividad histórica y cómo la creación de estos documentos internacionales ha sido la victoria de una sociedad civil organizada.
El Tratado Antártico en sus bodas de diamante: origen, evolución y algunos desafíos
Authors: Villamizar Lamus Fernando
Published: March 2022

Tras sesenta años de su entrada en vigor, el Tratado Antártico ha sido y será un instrumento jurídico internacional fundamental para la administración del Continente Blanco. Este artículo expone cómo se originó, en qué consiste y cuál ha sido su evolución. Mediante un método descriptivo, se abordan cada uno de los artículos del Tratado Antártico que constituyen los principios y mecanismos de protección jurídica de la Antártida, así como los principales instrumentos internacionales que constituyen el Sistema del Tratado Antártico. El objetivo del artículo es brindarle al lector una visión general de un tratado complejo, pero que ha trascendido a los rigores de la Guerra Fría y que se ha mantenido vigente hasta nuestros días. El principal hallazgo consiste en que pese a los intereses antagónicos que pueden darse respecto de la Antártida, el Tratado Antártico con sus regulaciones sui generis ha permitido que ese continente se use de manera pacífica y se dedique a la paz y la ciencia.

Harén y poder
Authors: González Alcantud José Antonio
Published: March 2022

El lugar común del harén concebido como encierro de mujeres al servicio del Uno, vigiladas por los eunucos, fue una figuración y una realidad de la época clásica del orientalismo, sobre todo entre los siglos XVII y XIX, adjudicado al mundo otomano, pero extensible a todo el universo islámico. El serrallo, sin embargo, también era un lugar de estrictas jerarquías, complicidades e intrigas que influían en la conformación del poder. En época colonial la imaginación orientalizante se satisfizo en los numerosos prostíbulos de las colonias. Su influencia en el entorno del poder llega hasta el día de hoy, cuando uno de los últimos serrallos, el de Hassan II en Marruecos, ha sido disuelto.

Cikkismertetés: A gyermekkori reziliencia és a fogszuvasodás kapcsolatának követéses vizsgálata
Authors: Ivancsó Rebeka Anna
Published: March 2022

A fogszuvasodás minden korosztályt érintő, komoly népegészségügyi probléma, melynek prevenciójában a gyermekkor kulcsfontosságú időszak. Bár a társadalmi-gazdasági helyzet és az étkezési szokások kiemelt szerepet játszanak a kisgyermekkori fogszuvasodás kialakulásában, néhány tanulmány a probléma vonatkozásában eddig kevésbé vizsgált szülő-gyermek interakció jelentőségére fókuszál. Célkitűzésük az általános iskola első osztályában a szülő-gyermek interakció, második osztályban a gyermekkori reziliencia és szájápolási magatartás, illetve negyedik osztályban a fogszuvasodás incidenciája közötti kapcsolat feltárása volt.
