Jeszcze o kwestii żydowskiej w Lalce Bolesława Prusa
Authors: Sobieraj Tomasz
Published: June 2021

W swojej najwybitniejszej powieści, Lalce, Bolesław Prus poruszył wiele aspektów tzw. kwestii żydow-skiej. Pisarz ukazał kilka faz w rozwoju stosunków polsko-żydowskich. Pierwsza to faza braterskiej równości sprzed powstania styczniowego. Następnie zdarzył się okres asymilacji Żydów. Na końcu Prus przedstawił narastającą wrogość wobec Żydów. Ogólnie rzecz ujmując, pisarz krytykował antysemityzm zarówno w Lalce, jak i w swojej twórczości publicystycznej. Z drugiej jednak strony przyznać trzeba, że Prus często postrzegał Żydów w sposób stereotypowy. Lalka ukazuje ekonomiczny triumf Zydów nad niepraktycznymi i nieudolnymi Polakami. Ukazane w powieści nastroje antysemickie zwiastowały warszawski pogrom Żydów z końca 1881 roku.
Vocational high school teachers' perceptions of organizational silence
Authors: Girgin Sinan , Gümüşeli Ali İlker
Published: June 2021

This study was conducted to determine the organizational silence perceptions of teachers who work in public high schools in the Bağcılar district, Istanbul province of Turkey, and to specify whether they differ according to different variables. The survey model was used in the study. The research was performed with 323 teachers working in vocational high schools in the Bağcılar district of Istanbul in the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, the random sampling method was employed. The "Personal Information Form" and "Organizational Silence Scale" were used as data collection tools. In the research, descriptive statistics, the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were performed. The general organizational silence perceived by vocational high school teachers was found to be "low." It was revealed that the perceived organizational silence of vocational high school teachers did not vary by gender, educational level, professional seniority, subject, and union membership, while the perceived general organizational silence varied depending on age.
The impact of absenteeism and the relationship with emotional absence based on individual stories
Authors: Marcucci Leandro , Santos Ruan Carlos dos
Published: June 2021

The relationship between the concepts of stress, mental illness and burnout syndrome seems to be indistinguishable when it comes to work leave by individuals who present specific and common symptoms. Recent research has shown an increase in absenteeism as a pandemic in society, one of the main problems faced by organizations, the consequences of illness generated by lack of emotional health, and the emergence of such symptoms arising from these relationships. This study analyzes the discourse of individuals diagnosed with burnout syndrome, seeking to identify the multiple relationships between the underlying symptoms and emotional health problems, a new concept discussed by theorists in recent years. For research purposes, elements of qualitative methodology were used. The narratives were analyzed considering psychoanalysis, and supported by the social interpretation of the reports. The results showed a significant trend towards a relationship between the concepts, the subject studied and the stories told in the interviews, leading us to reflect on the emotional impact of these relationships on work environments, individuals and society.

Review/Recension
The Queerness of the Man-Child
Authors: Weldy Lance
Published: June 2021

The literary man-child character can function as a subversive agent within the text to expose traditional ideologies and suggest alternate possibilities. Much beloved in Sweden, Karlson from Astrid Lindgren’s Karlson on the Roof trilogy (1955–1968) represents this kind of man-child character in texts for children, particularly through his queerness. The trilogy illuminates Karlson’s queerness by contrasting him with the normative reality of 20th-century Stockholm through his trademark narcissism, primal desires, and illogical or fallacious rhetoric that often invokes silence from children and adults within the story. Through the lens of Jack Halberstam’s queer subcultures, Karlson can be appreciated as a specific kind of literary man-child character that necessitates a legitimated queer visibility. This visibility is cultivated by his non-normative belief system and buttressed by his resistance to being silenced or kept secret from this normative world. Furthermore, Karlson’s queerness fuels his charisma, making him popular because of his behaviour, not despite it. Ultimately, his queerness as a man-child character disrupts traditional boundaries and delineations of the child/adult binary and allows the child reader to witness the vulnerabilities of normative institutions while also appreciating diversity in non-normative family structures.

„Freie Bahn dem Tüchtigen“ und „Aufstieg durch Bildung“ Soziale Mobilität als politisches Problem vom Vormärz bis zur Weimarer Republik
Authors: Mayer Alexander
Published: June 2021

Die Idee eines staatlich geförderten sozialen Aufstiegs durch Bildung ist kein Produkt des 20. Jahrhunderts, sondern lässt sich bis zur Pauperismusdebatte der 1830er und 1840er Jahre zurückverfolgen. Dieser Beitrag zeichnet den Wandel meritokratischer Gesellschaftsmodelle in Deutschland nach und zeigt, wie die Vorstellung des Bildungssystems als Motor sozialer Mobilität entstand. Mangelnde Aufstiegschancen für Personen aus den unteren Schichten wurden erstmals im Kontext der Pauperismusdebatte von Liberalen als politisches Problem wahrgenommen. Arbeitern, die sich den Normen bürgerlicher Respektabilität anpassten, sollte der Weg aus Besitzlosigkeit und Lohnabhängigkeit zu bürgerlicher Selbständigkeit auf Basis eines kleinen Gewerbes oder eines Bildungsberufs eröffnet werden. Ausgehend von einem bildungsbürgerlichen Erfahrungshorizont und anknüpfend an beschränkte, aber reale Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten entstand die Vorstellung des Bildungssystems als Aufstiegskanal. Mit der Einheitsschulbewegung konzentrierte sich die Debatte um Aufstiegschancen gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zunehmend auf die soziale Öffnung des höheren Schulwesens. Seit dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde die Ausschöpfung der nationalen Begabungsreserven als Notwenigkeit im wirtschaftlichen und machtpolitischen Konkurrenzkampf der Nationen begriffen. Sobald allerdings erste Schritte zur sozialen Öffnung des Bildungssystems unternommen wurden, trat das Problem der „Auslese“ in den Fokus.
The Recovery of the Nazirite in Carolingian Discourse
Authors: Lahav Rina
Published: June 2021

Carolingian exegetes Hrabanus Maurus and Paschasius Radbertus encountered a paradox in the sources available to them regarding the prophecy of Dan and its representative Samson, the archetypal Nazirite, “Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels that his rider may fall backward. I will look for thy salvation, O Lord” (Gen 49:17–8). While in some sources, the blessing given to Dan in Genesis 49:17 is interpreted as foreshadowing Christ, in others it is seen as reflecting the Antichrist. In this article, I explore how these Carolingian exegetes rose to the challenge of this conflict, by the examining the sources for both approaches available to them. I argue that both exegetes engaged with the sources in a manner that bypassed the paradox, each choosing a different way to do so.
Humor in Couple Relationships: An Opportunity for Therapeutic Inquiry
Authors: Talbot Wendy
Published: June 2021

Humor has been a focus of therapy literature for over a century and is considered an essential communication tool and important component of therapeutic relationships. Yet couple therapy literature does not feature humor as a relational practice or strategy for couples’ relationship development. When humor presents in a therapy conversation it offers opportunities for therapists to explore the implications and meanings for the couple relationship, potentially contributing to new and enhanced relationship experience. This article provides vignettes from one couple therapy conversation to illustrate therapeutic possibilities for exploration of couples’ humor. Therapists are encouraged to pay attention to humor as a complex, dynamic, discursive practice with therapeutic benefits for couples’ therapy.
Teletherapy in Training: A Trying and Transformative Experience
Authors: Richartz Jamie-Lyn , Smith Natasha , Sabo Kayleigh , Mejia Maria Angelica
Published: June 2021

Recent changes in federal and state laws, largely brought on because of the novel coronavirus, have underscored the need for revolutionizing the clinical training experience for Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) programs and their implementation of telehealth services. This article addresses the current telehealth training in MFT programs, featuring the process of teletherapy training at Nova Southeastern University's (NSU) Department of Family, including adaptation to current policies and procedures. This study utilized semistructured interviews with eight graduate- and post-graduate–level MFT students at NSU who received telehealth training prior to participating in a teletherapy-based clinical practicum at NSU's Brief Therapy Institute. The emergent themes from the analysis included crisis management, flexibility, and self-care. Lastly, we discuss the implications and limitations of our study and suggest areas of future research. The information provides knowledge on necessary training topics and expands the literature on teletherapy.
Thoughts on Transference Analysis in Transference-Focused Psychotherapy
Authors: Kernberg Otto F.
Published: June 2021

Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) represents a specific extension of psychoanalytic therapy for treatment of individuals with personality disorders, who may be helped without the more significant time investment required of a standard psychoanalysis. The treatment represents a contemporary formulation of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, updated in light of both empirical research and scientific developments in boundary fields close to the psychodynamic endeavor, particularly affective neuroscience and the psychology of couples and small groups. In TFP, the transference signifies the enactment in the here and now of a specific affective relationship between patient and therapist that reflects one aspect, defensive or impulsive, of a pathogenic dynamic unconscious conflict. This conflict needs to be analyzed, interpreted, and resolved. Various elements of transference analysis in TFP are discussed in this article.
TFP Extended: Development and Recent Advances
Authors: Clarkin John F. , Caligor Eve , Sowislo Julia
Published: June 2021

Recent advances in the understanding of personality pathology have contributed to an emphasis on the core of personality pathology as deficits in self-functioning and interpersonal functioning at different levels of severity that must be assessed for clinical intervention. In concert with these conceptual and empirical advances, transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), an empirically supported psychodynamic treatment for borderline personality disorder, has been in constant development with extensive clinical use. This article describes an object relations model for conceptualizing and assessing levels of personality organization, a transdiagnostic approach to personality pathology, and related treatment modifications, thus expanding the utilization of TFP beyond borderline personality disorder to the full range of personality dysfunction. The core of this treatment approach is a sequential interpretive process between patient and therapist. This process takes place within the context of a structured treatment frame tailored to the unique individual with problems in self-functioning and interpersonal functioning in his/her particular environment.
Managing Countertransference in the Treatment of Personality Disorders
Authors: Carsky Monica
Published: June 2021

The clinical and technical difficulties presented by patients with personality disorders are well documented. This article focuses on the challenges faced by therapists when managing their emotional reactions, that is, their countertransferences, to patients with personality disorders. While leaving room for therapists' unique and idiosyncratic countertransferences to the patient with personality pathology, Kernberg emphasized the role of a more general form of countertransference, one reflective largely of the patient's conflicts and defenses, in the treatments of personality disordered individuals. Here, the nature of the patient's internal and external functioning can be seen to lead to similar reactions among different therapists, opening the possibility of utilizing countertransference to better understand the patient's difficulties. In transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), countertransferences arising in the patient–therapist interaction are first identified and contained by the therapist and then utilized to clarify and explore how the patient's internal object relations are being enacted in the clinical process. This article describes this process and how TFP therapists work with their countertransference to help illuminate the patient's split representational world, paving the way for interpretation and integration.
When Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Authors: Wilson Emma
Published: June 2021

Death in Venice turns fifty in 2021. The moment of the pandemic may be one reason to look back at this film about cholera in Italy. The release of the documentary The Most Beautiful Boy in the World (2021), about Bjorn Andrésen who starred as Tadzio, is another. But what is most enduring is Visconti’s engagement with the family, and above all with the mother. This calls for reflection in the present moment when maternal eroticism and its relation to maternal subjectivity are newly illuminated in feminist writing. Through extended analysis of Silvana Mangano’s presence in the film, her wardrobe, and her gestures, this article argues that Visconti opens a space for feelings of heartbreak, love for the mother, and grief at her desire. In its vision of madness in the family, beyond its images of cholera in Venice, this is a pandemic film unafraid to look into the vortex.
Listening(s) Past
Authors: Mathew Nicholas
Published: June 2021

This essay is about the long-standing and tenacious audile technique of listening past—that is, the discrimination of music, musical performances, and even sound amid the ostensibly broader range of vibrations conveyed by any media form. For some time, an assortment of musicians, sound artists, and theoreticians have lined up to maintain that this cognitive-discursive technique, which suppresses or diminishes the processes of mediation, is in some sense ideological: illusory, contingent, and even exclusionary. Cagean theories of sound, feminist valorizations of embodiment and presence, ecological ethics of the soundscape, tech-focused philosophies of mediation, ethnographic conceptions of aurality, and Deleuzian vibrational ontologies—all are united in their foundational skepticism. Centered on digital transfer of an early electric recording of a performance of Beethoven’s Sixth from 1927 conducted by Felix Weingartner, this essay seeks to reevaluate the political implications of listening past by drawing out its submerged relationships to the traditional historicist project of recovering what I call past listenings—lost modes of listening that are supposedly indivisible from particular spaces, historical moments, and radically situated subjectivities.
Sugar, Sound, Speed
Authors: Baker Jessica Swanston
Published: June 2021

This essay presents the song “Area Code 869,” an example of a Caribbean genre known as “wilders” or “pep,” as a form of what Kodwo Eshun calls “sonic fiction.” By focusing on sonic bodies as “bodies touched by sound,” the essay suggests that “869” offers a reimagination of the historical relationship between sugar, sound, and speed in the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts, a former British sugar colony.
On the Beach
Authors: Stokes Martin
Published: June 2021

How has “the migrant crisis” affected musicology? What “edges” now appear, with what implications for musicology’s persistent call to historicize? This article suggests these have been more persistent questions than the current language of “crisis” might suggest. Taking some examples with the ongoing Syrian war as a backdrop, the implications of Mieke Bal’s injunction to “remember with” are explored as a route to thinking through the dilemmas of activism and compassion.
Butterflies on Sweet Land? Reflections on Opera at the Edges of History
Authors: Kreuzer Gundula
Published: June 2021

Taking inspiration from Kalle Pihlainen’s philosophy of historical representation, this essay explores some of the ways in which operatic performance can harness the ambiguity between the genre’s historicist and presentist implications to mobilize not just the difference of the past from the present but also their connection. The essay focuses on two recent examples—Heartbeat Opera’s Butterfly (New York, 2017) and The Industry’s Sweet Land (Los Angeles, 2020)—whose unconventional presentations critically engage such temporal complexity. Moving beyond the proscenium and crucially involving the music in their directorial visions, both couch history’s grip on the present in terms of the consequences of past actions. By self-staging their differences from mainstream opera-house productions, moreover, both explore whether opera can still aspire to sociopolitical relevance today. Though Butterfly tackles a controversial repertory staple, while the immersive and site-specific Sweet Land enlists the operatic genre itself to probe various modes of historical imagination, both expose continuities of historical racism in contemporary US culture. Their blurring of lines between past and present prevents audiences from confining racist positions to the operas’ allegedly historical plots: instead of presenting past alterity, the productions reveal transhistorical semblance. Opera thus becomes a medium for performing the multidimensionality and open-endedness of history.
The metabolic syndrome in pediatrics: do we have a reliable definition? A systematic review
Authors: Tropeano Angelo , Corica Domenico , Li Pomi Alessandra , Pepe Giorgia , Morabito Letteria Anna , Curatola Selenia Lorenza , Casto Celeste , Aversa Tommaso , Wasniewska Malgorzata
Published: June 2021

Objective

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardio-metabolic risk factors associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In the last two decades, several definitions of metabolic syndrome have been proposed for the pediatric population; all of them agree on the defining components but differ in the suggested criteria for diagnosis. This review aims to analyze the current diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome in pediatrics with reference to their feasibility and reliability in clinical practice.

Methods

The systematic research was conducted from January 2003 to June 2020 through MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases.

Results

After the selection phase, a total of 15 studies (182 screened) met the inclusion criteria and are reported in the present review. Twelve studies were cross-sectional, two were longitudinal and one was a consensus report. The sample population consisted of multiethnic group or single ethnic group, including Turkish, European, Asian and Hispanic subjects.

Conclusions

To date, there is not a univocal, internationally accepted pediatric definition of metabolic syndrome, which guarantees a high sensitivity and stability of the diagnosis. The definition proposed by IDF results the most straightforward and easy to use in clinical practice, having the unquestionable advantage of requiring measurements quickly accessible in clinical practice, without the adoption of multiple reference tables. Further research is needed to validate a new version of such definition which includes the diagnostic cut-off points recently suggested by published guidelines.

There is no standardized treatment for grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors (G3 NETs). We aimed to describe the treatments received in patients with advanced G3 NETs and compare their efficacy. Patients with advanced digestive G3 NETs treated between 2010 and 2018 in seven expert centers were retrospectively studied. Pathological samples were centrally reviewed, and radiological data were locally reviewed. We analyzed RECIST-defined objective response (OR), tumor growth rate (TGR) and progression-free survival (PFS) obtained with first- (L1) or second-line (L2) treatments. We included 74 patients with advanced G3 NETs, mostly from the duodenal or pancreatic origin (71.6%), with median Ki-67 of 30%. The 126 treatments (L1 = 74; L2 = 52) included alkylating-based (n = 32), etoposide-platinum (n = 22) or adenocarcinoma-like (n = 20) chemotherapy, somatostatin analogs (n = 21), targeted therapies (n = 22) and liver-directed therapies (n = 7). Alkylating-based chemotherapy achieved the highest OR rate (37.9%) compared to other treatments (multivariable OR 4.22, 95% CI (1.5–12.2); P = 0.008). Adenocarcinoma-like and alkylating-based chemotherapies showed the highest reductions in 3-month TGR (P < 0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). The longest median PFS was obtained with adenocarcinoma-like chemotherapy (16.5 months (9.0–24.0)) and targeted therapies (12.0 months (8.2–15.8)), while the shortest PFS was observed with somatostatin analogs (6.2 months (3.8–8.5)) and etoposide-platinum chemotherapy (7.2 months (5.2–9.1)). Etoposide-platinum CT achieved shorter PFS than adenocarcinoma-like (multivariable HR 3.69 (1.61–8.44), P = 0.002) and alkylating-based chemotherapies (multivariable HR 1.95 (1.01–3.78), P = 0.049). Overall, adenocarcinoma-like and alkylating-based chemotherapies may be the most effective treatments for patients with advanced G3 NETs regarding OR and PFS. Etoposide-platinum chemotherapy has poor efficacy in this setting.

An-Other4 Reading of Peace Construction in ELT
Authors: Aldana Yeraldine
Published: June 2021

Someone recently suggested to me: “war is more profitable than peace” (J. Rodríguez, personalcommunication, October 24th, 2017). This prompted my consideration of the idea that peaceconstruction in multiple settings could entail purposes other than the taken-for-granted and literalones (Aldana, in press). In this reflective article, within the journal’s language and conflict theme,I will discuss discourses related to the handling of peace construction in order to examine itstransformation in governmental, academic and media documents up to 2019. Documentscontaining the word peace in various contexts were selected, and as such the period varied. Thework is approached from my position as a mixed-race educator and researcher with a decolonialand critical epistemological perspective. This qualitative exploratory study approaches peaceconstruction in ELT from a field of methodological uncertainties and a creative toolbox. Bothhistoricizing and critical discourse analysis resources are employed in an inclusionary manner toachieve the eventualisation (Restrepo, 2008) of multiple ways of understanding and referring tothe construction of peace in ELT. In this sense, the role of language appears as an underlyingstarting point. The results discuss the discourse about pacification for progress in ELT as adiscursive event with different universal and market interests. It constitutes an alternative readingof peace construction in ELT as linked to seemingly disperse discursive events mediated bylanguage in real documents.

El presente artículo presenta una revisión del proceso actual de inclusión a estudiantesafrodescendientes en la Universidad Santo Tomás (USTA), Bogotá. Se parte de la idea de que ladimensión cultural debe ser central en la inclusión de estudiantes afrodescendientes paracomprender su identidad, evitar prácticas de discriminación y racismo, y garantizar que lainclusión vaya más allá de beneficios económicos y que permita la incorporación de saberes deesta comunidad en las instituciones de educación superior (IES). Se implementó una metodologíacualitativa, en la cual se revisaron documentos institucionales y se recolectaron testimonios apartir de entrevistas, que luego fueron canalizadas bajo las categorías de ‘discriminación racial /racismo’, ‘identidad afrodescendiente’ e ‘inclusión’. Se encontró que, excepto por la política dedescuentos, no hay, a la fecha, documentos ni prácticas orientadas explícitamente a la inclusiónde la comunidad afrodescendiente en la USTA Bogotá; sin embargo, existe apertura desde lasdiferentes instancias para construirlas. Asimismo, en las entrevistas se evidenciaron diferenciasrespecto al concepto de ‘afrodescendiente’ y se enunciaron eventos de racismo que no contaroncon ningún registro ni acompañamiento. Se concluye que se requiere un acuerdo institucionalsobre lo que significa ser afrodescendiente y generar estrategias que vayan más allá de las cuotaso descuentos, y favorezcan la identificación y atención a las interacciones simbólicas que podríanproducir escenarios de discriminación racial. Las políticas de inclusión para afrodescendientesdeben responder tanto a las necesidades individuales como a la apertura de la Universidad parainteractuar con el aporte histórico y cultural propio de esta comunidad.

Die mentale Prägung entscheidet: Sinnsuche im modernen Unternehmen
Authors:   Müller-Stewens
Published: June 2021

Die Art und Weise, wie das Controlling ausgestaltet und gelebt werden kann, ist äußerst vielgestaltig und bislang noch mit relativ wenigen Regularien eingeschränkt. So ist jedes Managementsystem, und damit auch das Controlling, Ausdruck wessen Geistes Kind das Management ist. Seine Ausgestaltung ist damit immer auch Ausdruck dessen, wie die Führung glaubt, dass Führung stattzufinden hat. Diese mentale Prägung der Führung hat sich über die Jahrzehnte immer wieder verändert und verändert sich auch gerade jetzt wieder. Schon in den 2010er Jahren war nach der Finanzkrise erkennbar, dass Unternehmen wieder vermehrt danach streben, ihr Tun einem gemeinsam verfolgten Zweck zu unterstellen. Es sollte mehr als ein blindwütiges Streben nach der Erfüllung abstrakter Zielsysteme sein, extrinsisch angetrieben durch monetäre Anreize. So sucht man auf der normativen Ebene der Unternehmensführung – oft nach verlorenen Jahren der reinen Shareholder- Value-Maximierung – wieder nach einem gemeinsamen sinnstiftenden Zweck (Profit driven by a purpose), der die Identität des Gesamtunternehmens prägt und die Entwicklung des Portfolios der Geschäfte ausrichtet.

Effects of Motivation on Staff Performance and Job Satisfaction in The University of Ilorin Library
Authors: Issa Abdulwahab Olanrewaju
Published: June 2021

This study examined the effects of motivation on job satisfaction and performance of librarians in University of Ilorin Library. It was observed that many employers have attempted several programs to motivate their employees, yet they have not worked for every category of staff in the library. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was made up of professional and paraprofessional librarians, which totaled 46 librarians. Relevant data for the study was collected using questionnaire and a total of 41 out of 46 copies of the questionnaire distributed were returned and found usable for the analysis, which was done by simple percentages and frequency tables. The finding revealed that librarians in job performance can be judged based on time taken to complete task, as well as the accuracy and quality of the work done. The finding confirmed that motivational factors such as opportunity for promotion, good working condition, involvement at work, promotion and financial reward affects the job performance and satisfaction of library staff. The finding revealed that job satisfaction has great influence on job performance. the findings also revealed that general job satisfaction exist among the librarians studied. The study concluded that staff performance and job satisfaction of library staff is dependent on motivation. The study recommended that, the existing constituents of job performance and satisfaction should be sustained/improved by ensuring well-set library goals, increment in salary, existence of training opportunity, sincere and annual appraisal, concrete job description and opportunity to participate in decision-making.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Patient complexity at US children’s hospitals is increasing. Hospitals experience concurrent pressure to reduce length of stay (LOS) and readmissions, yet little is known about how these common measures of resource use and quality have changed over time. Our aim was to examine temporal trends in medical complexity, hospital LOS, and readmissions across a sample of US children’s hospitals.

METHODS:

Retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients from 42 children’s hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System from 2013 to 2017. After excluding deaths, healthy newborns, obstetric care, and low volume service lines, we analyzed trends in medical complexity, LOS, and 14-day all-cause readmissions using generalized linear mixed effects models, adjusting for changes in patient factors and case-mix.

RESULTS:

Between 2013 and 2017, a total of 3 355 815 discharges were included. Over time, the mean case-mix index and the proportion of hospitalized patients with complex chronic conditions or receiving intensive care increased (P < .001 for all). In adjusted analyses, mean LOS declined 3% (61.1 hours versus 59.3 hours from 2013 to 2017, P < .001), whereas 14-day readmissions were unchanged (7.0% vs 6.9%; P = .03). Reductions in adjusted LOS were noted in both medical and surgical service lines (3.6% and 2.0% decline, respectively; P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS:

Across US children’s hospitals, adjusted LOS declined whereas readmissions remained stable, suggesting that children’s hospitals are providing more efficient care for an increasingly complex patient population.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

To investigate caregivers’ perceptions of physician communication and hospital ratings for hospitalized children with and without autism and assess associations between perceived quality of physician communication and overall ratings of the hospital.

METHODS:

We studied survey data from caregivers of 543 patients with autism compared with a 2:1 matched control sample of 1086 patients with similar characteristics but without autism from a single children’s hospital. We analyzed survey items related to physician communication and hospital ratings from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Physicians and Systems Child Hospital Survey. We constructed multivariable regression models to examine the relationship between caregiver-perceived physician communication and caregivers’ overall ratings of the hospital.

RESULTS:

A similar proportion of caregivers of children with and without autism reported that doctors “always” listened carefully to them (71.4% vs 74.3%; adjusted prevalence ratio 0.96; 95% confidence interval 0.90–1.03) and “always” treated them with respect (80.0% vs 84.1%; adjusted prevalence ratio 0.95; 95% confidence interval 0.90–1.00). Caregivers of children with autism were less likely to “definitely” recommend the hospital (87.0% vs 92.3%; adjusted prevalence ratio 0.94; 95% confidence interval 0.91–0.98). All items related to caregiver-perceived physician communication were associated with the highest hospital rating and the highest recommendation of the hospital in both groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

When matched on the basis of medical and social factors, caregivers of children with and without autism reported similar frequencies of highest-quality physician communication. Improvement of physician communication with caregivers of medically and socially complex children with and without autism may improve caregivers’ overall ratings of the hospital.
Powdered to Liquid Human Milk Fortifiers in the Preterm Infant
Authors: Schulz Elizabeth V. , Wagner Carol L.
Published: June 2021

In preterm infants, the goal of aggressive extrauterine nutritional management is to mimic in utero growth and nutrient accretion. Over the latter half of the 20th century, nutritional optimization through the practice of fortifying human milk rose to practice with increased survival rates in preterm infants of younger gestational age. The quest for optimal preterm fortification and nutrition remains a contentious area of debate. This review aims to summarize the historical perspectives of human milk fortification as well as the current literature advocating for the use of liquid human milk fortifiers in enterally fed premature infants.
Survey of Religious Movements, Communities and Churches in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Kulanić Ahmed
Published: June 2021

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is an heterogeneous country wherein ethnicity and religious adherence overlap. The scope of this work is based on the study of religious communities of various religious and cultural backgrounds that exist and function in post-war BiH. As there are insufficient comprehensive studies on this complex subject, this article examines the role religion plays in social and political life in post-war BiH by focusing on the way it is employed by the religious communities that have been working actively in this field. A diversification of BiH’s religious scene emerged with the collapse of Communism and dissolution of Yugoslavia, especially during the 1992–1995 war and in the first couple of years after signing the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995. Hence, this research primarily addresses the questions regarding the formation of new religious communities, their roles within society, the overall impact on the religious market as well as the citizens’ and experts’ perceptions of this. This article is based on analysis of the data collected using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Quantitative data was collected using a close-ended questionnaire that consisted of 38 questions based on dichotomous scales (e.g., yes/no) and Likert five-point scales, conducted with experts in the field and religious officials (clerks, priests and imams) from the different religious communities that exist in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The qualitative research approach is based on grounded theory using secondary and primary data collection tools.
La normalización del proceso penal extrajudicial (c. 1720). Análisis, crítica, propuestas
Authors: Daniel William-L.
Published: June 2021

Una simple lectura del c. 1342 § 1, al margen de su sentido implícito, revela que el proceso judicial es el instrumento ordinario para la tramitación de causas penales, mientras que el proceso penal extrajudicial o administrativo sólo se puede emplear cuando se dan causas justas que impiden el proceso judicial. Sin embargo, puesto que la formulación de este canon es el resultado de un acuerdo en la Comisión Codicial, y dado que los juicios penales fueron más bien infrecuentes en las décadas posteriores a la promulgación del CIC, la doctrina canónica le ha otorgado gran discreción al Ordinario para elegir el modo del proceso penal, hasta el punto de que el proceso extrajudicial ha venido a considerarse como la vía “normal”. En cualquier caso, resulta esencial que se tenga presente con la debida prudencia la naturaleza jurídica de la decisión que concluye el proceso extrajudicial. Además, en la actualidad, hace falta una reflexión profunda para considerar de qué modo puede el proceso extrajudicial ser verdaderamente justo. Quizás lo ideal sería proponer un proceso penal único al legislador de iure condendo.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the incidence and means of elderly suicide in Brazil. Method: Epidemiologic, cross-sectional, quantitative, and retrospective study. The data were obtained in a platform maintained by the Ministry of Health and analyzed. The mortality rate was calculated and means and percentages regarding the employed means of suicide were obtained. Results: In this period, 8,977 suicides took place among the population over 60 years. The highest suicide rates were concentrated in the population over 80, which presented a mean 8.4/100,000 for this period, and between 70 and 79 years, with a mean rate of 8.2/100,000. Considering the total elderly population over 60 years, this value reached 7.8/100,000, whereas in the general population this was 5.3/100,000. The values are always higher among the elderly population: the mean rate in the last five years among the elderly is 47.2% higher than the mean for the general population. The main mean of suicide was hanging (68%), followed by firearm (11%), self-intoxication (9%), falling from a high place (5%), and undefined or undetermined means (6%). Conclusion: Epidemiologic analyses bring visibility to the dyad aging and suicide, corroborating the pertinence of this theme.
