Feminist Translation Matters: Reading Fashion, Materiality, and Revolution in the English-Language Translations of Marie Chauvet’s La danse sur le volcan
Authors: Meï Siobhan
Published: March 2020

Al igual que la traductología feminista, los estudios recientes en las intersecciones de las teorías feministas y de la moda ofrecen nuevas formas de pensar la historia de la modernidad, el cuerpo y la comunicación en ámbitos interpersonales y transnacionales. La moda y la traducción comparten atributos similares en el imaginario popular: ambas son ubicuas y muchas veces se perciben como superficiales. Ambas suelen quedar relegadas al ámbito de lo femenino, en el que las labores de self-fashioning, o construcción de la propia imagen pública, y la traducción se consideran derivaciones, triviales o desligadas de lo intelectual. Uniendo el conocimiento feminista de la traducción y los estudios sobre moda para conformar un marco transdisciplinario, este artículo explora el rol del vestido (su producción, materialidad e historia) en el contexto de dos traducciones al inglés de la novela La danse sur le volcan (1957), de la autora haitiana Marie Chauvet (1916-1973). En su análisis de la historia de la traducción de La danse al inglés, este artículo señala que una praxis de traducción literaria feminista transnacional requiere un relacionamiento sostenido con las vidas materiales e imaginadas de los objetos en la longue durée, en particular con artículos de la moda, como bufandas y vestidos.

Metamorphoses of an Adversarial Nature of Criminal Proceedings in Cases of Judicial Review
Authors: Burmagin S. V.
Published: March 2020

An adversarial nature of any judicial proceedings, which is characteristic of justice and corresponds to its nature, is revealed in criminal proceedings not only in criminal cases, but also in so called cases of judicial review exercised during pre-trial proceedings. In the present paper the features of adversarial construction of judicial review proceedings in the Russian criminal process are investigated in the context of the purpose and subject of judicial review at pre-trial stages. The author has analyzed the specifics of the conflict relationship, the essence of the legal dispute and the subject composition of the procedural parties in cases of judicial review, as well as the peculiarities of initiating the judicial review proceedings and distribution of the burden of proof between the parties; reveals the transformation of the procedural roles of the main participants of the adversarial proceedings when the disputed issue is transfered from the main proceedings in the criminal case for consideration in the procedure of judicial review within the framework of separate proceedings. The paper also elucidates such features characteristic for certain forms of judicial review as involvement of third parties having their own interest in the judicial review case and restriction of participation in the court session of the interested party. The paper focuses on the problem of ambiguous (from the standpoint of the principle of adversariality) procedural status of the prosecutor in judicial and review proceedings in which independent parties are the investigator and (or) the head of the investigative body. Alternative options for elimination of the problem discussed above are proposed. It is concluded that in the course of normative regulation of judicial review procedures and law enforcement, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of cases of judicial review and the originality of manifestation of adversarial foundation in such cases.
Comparative Legal Analysis of the Institute of Complicity in Crime in China and Russia
Authors: Dongmei P.
Published: March 2020

The institution of complicity in crime as a whole is one of the most problematic areas for criminal law doctrine and law enforcement practice. The problem of complicity in crime, which acts as one of the fundamental institutions of criminal law in different countries, is given increased attention in the legal science of China and Russia, which is primarily due to the importance of this institution.

In the Chinese criminal law, only five articles of the General part (articles 25-29 of the criminal code of the People’s Republic of China) are devoted to complicity in a crime. In addition, in many articles of the special part of the criminal code of the People’s Republic of China, incitement, aiding and abetting, as well as preparing, creating, directing, or participating in a criminal group, constitute a complete crime. These are such elements of a crime as: incitement to split the state (part 2 of article 103), incitement to overthrow the state power (part 2 of article 105), incitement to carry out terrorist activities (article 120), financial assistance to terrorist activities (article 120.1), assistance to information network criminal activities (article 287.2), preparatory actions for terrorist activities (article 120.2), organization, leadership, participation in a terrorist organization (article 120), organization, leadership and active participation in organizations of a mafia nature (article 294) , etc. In the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, seven articles of the General part (articles 32-36, articles 63, 67 of the Criminal Code) are devoted to the institution of complicity. In addition, the group committing a crime is as qualified or very qualified type of specific crimes (for example, article 105, 117, 158, 164 of the Criminal Code), or forms a constitutive characteristic of certain types of crime (for example, article 208, 209, 210 of the Criminal Code, which criminalize the creation of formations, gangs or communities or participate in them).

The paper deals with Chinese and Russian criminal law in part of the normative regulation of the Institute of complicity in a crime, considerable attention is given to the analysis of criminal legislation of China and Russia in the sphere of legal regulation of concepts, forms of participation, types of participation and the principles of bringing them to criminal liability. In the course of the study, the author also attempts to analyze some controversial issues related to the institution of complicity in crime, such as complicity in careless crime, indirect execution, and the legal nature of complicity in crime.
Socially Dangerous Consequences of Crimes Related to Environmental Pollution: System Analysis
Authors: Zabavko R. A. , Rogova E. V.
Published: March 2020

As a result of comprehensive analysis of the content of socially dangerous consequences provided for in article 246, 247, 250-252, 254 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the authors reveal the absence of a unified approach to the interpretation of individual effects, consistency in the interpretation of certain terms. It is concluded that the two-stage system of socially dangerous consequences formed in the majority of these crimes significantly complicates law enforcement activities. It is revealed that one of the most successfully used components of these environmental crimes is part 1 of article 247 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, formulated as a part of a real danger. An accurate description of the legal structures used in the construction of these elements of a crime will allow you to define de lege lata qualification limits, distinguish them from each other and distinguish them from related elements of administrative offenses. The authors clear up the content of such socially dangerous consequences as: essential change of radioactive background, the infliction of harm to human health, mass death of animals, damage to human health, significant harm to human health or the environment, pollution, poisoning or contamination of the environment, human death, mass diseases of people, the spread of epidemics or epizootics, causing essential harm to animal or flora, fish stocks, forestry or agriculture, pollution or other change of natural properties of air, other serious consequences. De lege ferenda’s proposals include a unified system of socially dangerous consequences that could be used universally in the crimes under consideration. The following socially dangerous consequences are proposed. The first part: creating a real threat of causing significant harm to human health, the environment, animal or plant life, fish stocks, forestry or agriculture. The second part: causing harm to human health, significant harm to human health, the environment, animal or plant life, fish stocks, forestry or agriculture. The third part: causing the death of a person by negligence. The forth part: causing death by negligence to two or more persons.

Authors: Nisar Muhammad
Published: March 2020

The main objective of this research study was to ascertain the effect of land ownership disputes due to land commercialization and its effects on social structure in Tehsil Dargai, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Out of 291 respondents from civil suit/1 register of Tehsil Dargai, a sample size of 128 respondents was selected randomly through using the Mwakaje (2013) formula. Convenience sampling was used as a tool for data collection. The dependent variable (social structure) was cross tabulated with independent variable (land commercialization related disputes). Association of variables was ascertained by using Chi-square test. The study found a significant association between social structure and land ownership disputes due to urbanization (P= .045), population pressure (P=014), land considered a key asset of livelihood (P=0.000), agricultural commercialization (P=0.000) and increase in land prices (P=0.000). However, there was a non-significant relationship between social structure and migration into an area (P=0.200). The study concluded that the social structure is becoming weakening due to land disputes because of commercialization. People are becoming materialistic in their outlook and feel no hesitation in adopting unfair means to sell or force encroachment on other’s land which leads to the weakening of social bonds and hence social structure.

Published: March 2020

Globalization has a most important implication for human resource management practice in general. For some, globalization creates pressures for taking best, a transferable set of HRM practices that can spread around the world. It is a force that touches the lives of people living in all countries of the world. In the age of globalization, there is an opportunity to enter new markets, to improved job opportunities and higher remuneration for skilled employees. The challenges are equally numerous. Organizations need to deal with a mature workforce; and they must attract, integrate and maintain multicultural employment pools; human rights and business practices to be successful. The shortage between the demand and supply of talent is likely to increase, notably for high skilled employees and for the next generation of business executives. Global staffing and management of the workforce effectively in diverse culture are the key goals of global human resources. Organizations that manage these challenges effectively will find success and improve the lives of human resources throughout the world.

Authors: Srivastava Deepali , Srivastava Sandeepa
Published: March 2020

Background: Congenital uterine anomalies are not only uncommon, many are asymptomatic. A uterine malformation is a type of female genital malformation resulting from an abnormal development of the mullerian ducts during embryogenesis. The prevalence of uterine malformation is estimated to be 6.7% in general population.Methods: This study has included 2423 women who attended family planning OPD in KGMU for purpose of laparoscopic tubal ligation along with general and systemic examination. During the laproscopic ligation procedure the observed uterine anomalies were noted and compared to the data available in the existing medical literature.Results: Out of 2423 females included in this study during 2011-2016, 104 (4.29%) females were diagnosed with uterine anomalies. The Commonest uterine anomaly was arcuate uterus which was seen in 77 patients. (3.1%). Uni-cornuate uterus was seen in 19 patients (0.8%) and bi-cornuate uterus was seen in 9 patients (0.3%). 3 out of these were uni-cornuate uterus with rudimentary horn.Conclusions: Though the congenital uterine malformations are frequent findings in infertile patients but few malformations like uni-cornuate uterus, arcuate uterus and bicornuate uterus are although rare but seen in fertile females, showing their lesser impact on pregnancy and its outcome.

Authors: TEBERİK Kuddusi , İRİTAS İlter
Published: March 2020

Objectives: To investigate whether central corneal thickness (CCT) and tear function test differ from healthy controls in the ones suffering meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: This prospective study was carried out with 99 individuals in total (50 patients MGD, 49 healthy individuals). Schirmer-1, tear break-up time (TBUT), the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and CCT measurmentwas administered to all patients.Results: The average Schirmer 1 measurements were 16.6 ± 3.3 mm for right eyes, 16.4 ± 3.6 mm for left eyes in the MGD group and 17.1 ± 3.7 mm for right eyes, 17.0 ± 4.4 mm for left eyes in the control group. The mean TBUT values were 10.1 ± 3.6 seconds for right eyes, 10.2 ± 3.4 seconds for left eyes in the MGD group and 14.7±3.7 seconds for right eyes, 15.8 ± 4.1 seconds for left eyes in the control group (p = 0.001). The mean OSDI score values were 40.3 ± 23.7 in the MGD group and 19.4 ± 8.7 in the control group (p = 0.001). The average CCT in the MGD group was 539.4 ± 30.0 µm and 539.7 ± 33.0 µm (right and left, respectively). The average CCT in the control group was 551.6 ± 32.8 µm and 550.7 ± 32.2 µm (right and left, respectively). The mean CCT measurements in the MGD group were not statistically significant compared to the healthy control group (p = 0.059, and p = 0.097, right and left, respectively). Conclusions: The Schirmer test and CCT measurements are not significantly different in patients with MGD compared to healthy control subjects.
Estrogen receptor expression in normal breast epithelium in invasive ductal carcinoma
Authors: ERKİNÜRESİN Taşkın , DEMİRCİ Hakan , VARDAR AKER Fügen
Published: March 2020

Objectives: Invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) are the most important group of malignant breast tumors and constitute 75-80% of breast carcinomas. While IDCs often present with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), they sometimes include a low level of DCIS or they do not include any accompanying DCIS at all. We planned this study to compare estrogen receptor (ER) expression levels in normal mammary epithelium in IDCs with extensive DCIS (Group I) and IDCs without DCIS (Group II). Methods: Eighty IDC cases selected from among samples that were analyzed in our pathology laboratory. The cases were assessed retrospectively in light of immunohistochemical analysis results and pathology reports. Evaluation of immunohistochemistry: ER positivity in IDC was defined with a nuclear staining of more than 10% of cancer cells regardless of intensity of staining. Presence of cells showing nuclear staining for normal breast epithelium was classified in 4 groups according to their quantity and intensity. These were: 0-None: No staining was observed, 1-Single: One or two positive cells, 2-Dispersed: Dispersed positive cells surrounded by negative cells, 3-Adjoined: 10 or more positive cells contacting each other. Results: Statistically no significant difference was found between Group I and Group II in terms of ER expression. Group I were more prevalent in younger and in the premenopausal period than Group II. Conclusions: According to our study, there was no difference between Group I and Group II in terms of ER expression. But the significantly presence Group I in more young people and in premenopausal women suggests that these carcinomas develop due to high estrogen levels and that Group II develop independently than estrogen. This suggests that these groups may have different carcinogenesis and etiologies. We therefore think that this first study on IDCs with extensive DCIS and IDCs without DCIS should be supported by new research studies.

According to research in Russia in 2016, the prevalence of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue was 5871 cases per 100000 people, the incidence was 4259 cases per 100000 people. Severe chronic dermatoses significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and their families, the patients’ self-esteem suffers, their habitual lifestyle is disturbed. The purpose is to study the level dynamics and structure of the incidence of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period 2008-2017. The analysis of the structure and dynamics of the prevalence and the incidence of the ICD-10 class “Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue” (L00-L99) in the Republic of Bashkortostan was carried out according to the FSN form No. 12 for 2008-2017, and a simulated forecast of the incidence rate up to 2022 was compiled. The study revealed a steady downward trend in the prevalence and the incidence of these diseases in the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period 2011-2017. Considering the prediction data, the trend towards a decrease in the incidence rates of skin diseases until 2022 will continue. On this background, the level of the prevalence of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis tends to increase, the incidence of atopic dermatitis tends to increase, and the incidence of psoriasis tends to decrease. The proportion of severe chronic dermatoses increased 1.5-2 times in all age groups. Thus, the analysis makes it necessary to improve the work on the organization of medical care for patients with chronic dermatoses and methods for their prevention.

Over the past decades, methods of targeted delivery of drugs to target tissues through the lymphatic system have been intensively developed, which makes it possible to create and maintain adequate concentrations of drugs. It has special meaning and impotence during the therapy antibiotic therapy of infectious and inflammatory processes. In this regard, the experimental study of pharmacological properties of drugs that enhance lymphatic drainage of tissues and at the same time promote the transport of antibiotics into the lymphatic system has natural interest. We studied the effect of unfractionated heparin sodium on lymphatic flow rate in tissues, the level of the β-lactam antibiotic cefotaxime in rabbit and mouse blood plasma and its concentration in mouse liver and intestinal tissues in experiments. Heparin sodium proved to be effective in stimulating lymphatic flow and facilitating endolymphatic delivery of the antibiotic. The administration of cefotaxime after an injection of heparin sodium led to the increased concentration of the antibiotic in rabbit blood plasma at all time points of the study (in an hour and a half and in 3 hours, in four and a half hours and in 6 hours, in 8, 12 and 24 hours), as well as the increased antibiotic level in mouse blood plasma and intestinal tissue in an hour and a half and in 24 hours after the injection. The cefotaxime level in liver tissue did not change, while its concentration ratio between liver tissue and blood plasma was falling, which suggests that the hepatic extraction of cefotaxime decreased. Considering the obtained evidence, we can recommend the clinical use of heparin sodium in lymphotropic therapy to facilitate endolymphatic delivery.

According to the World Health Organization, the elderly are the fastest-growing age group in the world. Scientists addressing the aging issue have put forward a theory of active longevity, based on improving the quality of life of the elderly. Most authors believe that the basis of a long life is an active and mobile lifestyle, a healthy diet, abstinence from bad habits, constant communication and affordable quality health care. Recently, in our country, government officials began to pay attention to the problems of longevity and improving the quality of life of senior and elderly people. The Government of Moscow adopted a decision of December 18, 2018 No. 1578-GO “On the implementation of the Moscow Longevity Project in the city of Moscow”, which provides for a permanent basis to create a system of organizing active leisure activities for senior citizens, expanding forms of social communications, further enhancing their life and longevity. Recent studies show that the quality of life of people in the elderly and senile age is closely related to their health and cannot be limited to biomedical parameters. It depends on an assessment of one’s life course, internal standards, and on effective social activity. Also, quality of life is correlated with factors such as the diet and nutrition quality, the ability to perform physical activities that help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and mortality. At the same time, the importance of dental health remains underestimated, despite the fact that healthy mouth organs and tissues are the main factors contributing to quality nutrition, performing an aesthetic role and serving as a symbol of a person’s well-being.

Introduction: The emergence of strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a serious therapeutic challenge in healthcare provision. With this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors and clinical outcomes (mortality and length of hospital stay) associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients admitted to a district hospital in Portugal.Material and Methods: A case-control study was performed in 96 cases and 122 controls, selected, respectively, as function of antibiotic resistance or sensitivity to methicillin. Data were obtained through consultation of clinical records and subjected to multivariate statistical analysis.Results: We identified the following independent risk factors for the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection: urinary catheter (aOR = 10.62, 95% CI 3.66 – 30.78), prior use of antibiotics in the last 30 days (aOR = 5.60, 95% CI 2.15 – 14.62), exposure to 5 - 7 days of hospitalization (aOR = 4.99, 95% CI 1.20 – 20.79) or to ≥ 8 days (aOR = 5.34, 95% CI 1.18 – 24.22), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aOR = 4.27, 95% CI 1.64 – 11.13) and recent hospitalization (aOR = 2.66, 95% CI 1.14 – 6.23). Compared to infections due to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, we found increased probability of having a longer hospital stay (aHR = 1.74, 95% CI 1.11 – 2.71) and in-hospital mortality was significantly higher (p = 0.001) between patients infected by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Discussion: The results demonstrate that methicillin resistance is associated with an increased clinical risk to patients infected by Staphylococcus aureus, in particular, a raised mortality and prolonged hospitalization.Conclusion: Our study underlines the additional burden imposed by methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus infections. This highlights an urgent need to reinforce and optimize prevention, control, timely detection and effective treatment strategies for multidrug--resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Anti-N-Mmethyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with prominent neurologic and psychiatric features. Symptoms appear progressively and sometimes with an exclusively psychiatric initial presentation. The patient’s evaluation should be meticulous, and we should use all the diagnostic tests required for the exclusion of entities that can mimic this disease. We report the diagnostic investigation of a case of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis in a patient with a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia with poor response to antipsychotics. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of close surveillance for neuropsychiatric symptoms, especially catatonia, and to recognize autoimmune encephalitis in the differential diagnosis of psychotic disorders with neurological symptoms and resistance or intolerance to antipsychotics. A prompt diagnosis will contribute to a faster onset of therapy and an overall improvement in prognosis.

Introdução: A emergência de bactérias multirresistentes constitui um desafio médico na atualidade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a incidência das infeções por bactérias multirresistentes numa unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais. Material e Métodos: Estudo de incidência, retrospetivo, descritivo dos episódios infeciosos por bactérias multirresistentes, de 2008 a 2017, numa unidade de apoio perinatal diferenciado. Resultados: Incluíram-se 64 episódios infeciosos (medianas - idade gestacional: 28 semanas; peso ao nascimento: 885 g). As bactérias isoladas foram: Enterobacteriaceae (n = 46); Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente (n = 12); Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 4); Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 2). Identificou-se um fator de risco em 90,6% dos episódios, destacando-se cateter central (89%) e antibioticoterapia prévia (78%). A taxa de letalidade associada foi 10,9% (taxa de mortalidade unidade: 4,4%). A incidência global foi 3,2 episódios infeciosos/100 internamentos, correspondentes a 1,7 episódios/1000 dias de internamento. Verificaram-se três surtos infeciosos com impacto crescente de Enterobacteriaceae.Discussão: A taxa de incidência descrita reflete uma população de risco, internada numa unidade de Cuidados Intensivos e num período longo de tempo. A distribuição das bactérias isoladas evidencia a evolução da multirresistência relatada internacionalmente, com predomínio crescente de Enterobacteriaceae. A ocorrência de surtos aponta para a necessidade de perceber fatores de risco e meios de disseminação local. A relevância destas infeções está patente na taxa letalidade, superior às infeções hospitalares em geral. Conclusão: A taxa de incidência reflete a dimensão local do problema, constituindo um indicador de qualidade, relevante para o controlo destas infeções.
Políticas epistêmicas

Esse artigo consiste numa análise da legislação que instituiu o programa Fundos Setoriais, nos anos 1990/2000. O objetivo é caracterizar os componentes e estratégias iniciais do programa, bem como seu papel no contexto das políticas de C,T&I (Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação) na época. Cabe dizer que não olharei para essa legislação como um jurista ou analista de políticas públicas, que nela veriam uma estrutura de atos normativos ou um instrumento de governança estatal. Enquanto antropólogo, procurarei nessa estrutura jurídica um discurso, ou seja, a defesa de uma certa concepção de ciência. Interessa-me o fato de que tal legislação registra e, ao mesmo tempo, agencia a construção de uma episteme, isto é, uma nova visão sobre ciência, sobre conhecimento e sobre os arranjos necessários para conectá-los à sociedade. O debate teórico de fundo desse artigo deriva da antropologia da ciência, que nos oferece uma visão sobre ciência e episteme necessária para a prossecução das análises.
