Survivor’s pension A NDC model applied to survivor’s pension of the Brazilian Armed Forces
Authors: Chaves da Silva Anderson , Zambitte Ibrahim Fábio , Ferreira da Cruz Cláudia
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to investigate the impact on the actuarial result of the survivor’s pension system in the Brazilian Armed Forces, as well as on the benefit itself, resulting from the modification of its costing plan with the use of the NDC system. To achieve this, a simulation was conducted using the R software, based on a model of notional accounts, and utilizing data from 3,942 military personnel who joined the Armed Forces in 2020. From both the perspective of public spending and the amount received by the beneficiary, the results indicate a significant reduction, mitigating the deficit in the Social Protection System of the Armed Forces at the expense of the degradation of the survivor’s pensions to be granted. In addition to the uncertainty about the replacement rate, depending on the variation in the parameters adopted for calculating the benefit, the pure NDC system would create differences that currently do not exist, such as the existence of distinct and greater benefits for men, and pensions of different values left by military personnel with identical careers. The originality of the article encompasses the theme “notional accounts” applied to the Brazilian Armed Forces, the perspective to be developed, with application to the survivor’s pension benefit, since, as a rule, the focus is on the old-age pension, and empirical research on a social protection system little explored in the literature.
Keywords: NDC System; Survivor’s Pension; Armed Forces; Social Protection; Military Survivor’s Pension.

Varicose veins are characterized by abnormally twisted, dilated superficial vessels that are caused by the inefficient or defective valves within the vein. It is currently a prevalent disease with the incidence varying globally between 10% and 60%. The Unani Medicine (also called Greco-Arab medicine) is the ancient system of medicine practiced all around the world. According to the Unani classical text, Leech therapy (Irsal-e-Alaq) is one of the most important regimenal therapy for the successful treatment and management of varicose vein and a unique combination of Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah (Six essential factors) is involved in the prevention of this disease. The research studies have proved that medicinal leech therapy displays anticoagulant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Leech saliva contains medicinally useful bioactive molecules like hirudin, histamine, etc. that shows anti-coagulant effect and hence improve microcirculation in diseases like varicose vein. Leech therapy is reliable, well tolerated, cost effective treatment that has the potential of preventing varicose vein complications. This review seeks to describe medicinal leech therapy, present therapeutic leech species, and highlight the processes by which leech saliva affects wound healing. Additionally, the review paper highlights the role of Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah in prevention and control of varicose veins. Irregularity in diet and lifestyle may cause disturbance in normal body functioning, which may lead to lifestyle disorder that is a major risk factor thought to influence the susceptibility of varicose vein. The Unani System exerts a major influence on preventing the development of varicose vein by making modification in Asbab-e-Sitta Zarooriyah.

Published: March 2024

The study aims to investigate the relationships between the volume of net migration and the economic development of individual European countries, which will make it possible to forecast the level of GDP and strengthen their migration policy. Correlation-regression analysis was used based on statistical data from Eurostat and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for the period 2014−2021 for selected European countries (the EU-27 member states, Switzerland, and Ukraine). The correlation-regression analysis showed a relationship between the volume of net migration and the level of GDP. The linear correlation equations forecasted the value of the GDP level depending on the influence of a single factor – the volume of net migration. The attention is focused on the importance of migration, which ensures economic growth for Poland. It is attractive due to a simpler mechanism for moving immigrants than in other EU-27 countries, ease of language learning and easier adaptation, territorial proximity, and a higher standard of living compared to neighboring countries that were part of the Soviet Union. Thus, an increase in net migration to Poland by 1% will lead to an increase in gross domestic product by 1.43 million euros. Due to Russia’s war against Ukraine, net migration from Ukraine to Poland has increased significantly, potentially increasing Poland’s GDP in 2023 by 0.08% or 529.54 million euros.
Labor law and artificial intelligence: points of contact and differences
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Novikov Denis A.
Published: March 2024

The advent of high-tech and self-learning AI algorithms is setting off an unprecedented transformation of social production processes that will fundamentally affect the entire world of labor. According to the author, the introduction of AI into the world of labor will undoubtedly lead to a temporary surge in technological unemployment, but in the long term, new technologies will create more jobs in new sectors of the economy. The impact of AI on unemployment is context-specific and should be subject to government regulation. The author points out that as a result of the introduction of AI algorithms in the world of labor, arise not only the traditional problems of strengthening the economic power of the employer, discrimination or unauthorized collection of personal data, but set a big complex of legal problems related to the responsibility of the employer for decisions that he himself cannot control. Therefore, for labor law, the most important task is to eliminate the discrepancies between the current model of legal regulation of labor relations and the risks of introducing AI into decision-making processes of hiring and controlling employees. The science of labor law should develop relevant approaches to a reasonable limitation of the use of AI, taking into account the peculiarities of modern algorithmic technologies, production prospects, legal and social risks. The author criticizes proposals for endowing AI with legal personality and the possibility of delegating responsibility for the implementation of employer functions to algorithms. According to the author, AI cannot have legal personality in labor relations (as well as in legal relations of any other type), since the functioning of AI is carried out through the datification of all their participants without the goal of achieving a socially significant result and establishing interaction between subjects of law regarding the satisfaction of their needs. AI is a means of automating labor processes, a digital interface for interaction between elements of the production system. The author states that AI in legal reality can exist only as an object of law. The author proposes to fix in the labor legislation the presumption of responsibility of the employer for the decisions made by AI, regardless of the originally programmed algorithms, even if they were changed by AI as a result of machine learning.
Dismissal of an employee based on the results of certification
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Grebenshikov Anatoly V.
Published: March 2024

The essence of the employment relationship involves the expectations of the employer to receive labor of a certain quality and in a certain quantity from an employee. In addition, social and technological progress gives the employer the right to expect from the employee the appropriate development of skills, abilities and business abilities. As one of the means of stimulating employees to improve their work, the certification mechanism (periodic, etc.) is used. The legislator has established certain features of the legal regulation of relations between the employee and the employer in the event of a discrepancy between the employee and the position held by him or the work performed by him due to insufficient qualifications, confirmed by the results of certification. The article deals with the problems associated with the occurrence of a situation when the certification commission, created by the employer to assess the business qualities of an employee, comes to the conclusion that he is inconsistent with the position held by him or the work assigned by him due to various circumstances of an objective or subjective nature. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation assumes that the certification of employees should be largely regulated by local regulations, taking into account the requirements formulated at the industry and departmental levels. At the same time, there are problems in legal regulation that do not depend on the actions of the employer or the industry management state body. One of these is the problem of exercising the right of the employer to dismiss the employee in connection with the negative results of the certification. The author of the article draws attention to the provision of the Labor Code that dismissal on the grounds provided for in paragraph 3 of part 1 of Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is allowed if it is impossible to transfer the employee with his written consent to another job available to the employer (as a vacant position or a job corresponding to the qualifications an employee, as well as a vacant lower position or a lower paid job) that an employee can perform taking into account his state of health.

The article covers the practical activities of a number of Kazakhstani sectoral trade unions of healthcare workers to protect the social and labor rights of medical workers. Once the activities of these trade unions were studies, the authors drew attention that in recent years they are guided by international standards, conclude contracts for implementation of various projects with the International Labor Organization, which not only determines ways to build the potential of trade unions and stimulate social dialogue in the field of health, but also shows shortcomings in the activities of trade unions and offers effective measures to prevent them in the future. At the initiative of the trade unions of the industry, now Kazakhstan intends to ratify a number of ILO conventions with essential value for healthcare development. Some attention is paid to the activities of trade unions during COVID–19 pandemic, in particular to the protection of medical workers serving patients with covid infection and who did not receive the lump-sum payments for this. The article includes positive experience of trade unions that developed "Memo on legal protection of healthcare workers, organized the activities of the group of lawyers "Medical Lawyer", "Salary calculator". It analyzed individual and collective complaints received by the trade union, mainly concerning non-reflection of provisions of the Sectoral Agreement for 2020-2022 in the collective agreements of medical institutions regarding the establishment of increased official salaries, increased surcharges for certain categories of medical workers. It is noted that in the whole country, there is unserious attitude of employers not only to the drafting of the content of collective agreements, but also to the conclusion, extension of their validity, additions and changes due to various socio-economic factors, changes in labor legislation.

Authors:   College of Law, National Taiwan University, Wan-Ning Hsu
Published: March 2024

With a growing acknowledgment of gender equality being one of human rights, and adoption of SDGs, CSR and ESG policies among corporations around the world, Taiwan, deemed pioneer in the race of gender equality in Asia, has also implemented the same for the purpose of economic empowerment in women. The study reviews the status of female labors’ rights in workplace and analyses how regulations and the implementation of ESG measures could help achieve a true gender equality in workplace on the island. The study has organized and reviewed the transition of governmental administration responsible for gender equality, all kinds of policies regarding gender equality, including encouragement of gender ratio of the management in corporations, the legal framework of labor regulations with respect of gender issues and the SDG or ESG implementations among corporations regarding the same. With the findings presented through article, the study concludes that traditional view of hard laws may not be appropriate or effective enough to reach a true gender equality in the workplace due to the lack of flexibility while soft laws, e.g., ESG guideline and other associative measures, may be more effective from a bottom-up approach. Moreover, the study also concludes that Taiwan is on the path to better working conditions through the nature of sustainability report disclosed by corporations regardless of the scale of them. Thus, it is likely to achieve economic empowerment in women in Taiwan with the promotion of related soft laws policies.
The collective dimension of platform work
Authors:   University of Siena, Tufo Marco
Published: March 2024

The present research aims at inquiring if a collective dimension exists and how to strengthen it in platform work. Firstly, the consistency of the characteristics of platform work with the collective dimension of labour law is verified from a theoretical point of view. Even if difficulties in building a collective dimension emerge, it is then shown that some collective initiatives, taken by self-organised and non-unionised movements but also by Trade Unions, have been occurred in working on-demand via apps, especially with reference to the food delivery sector. A different story can be told about crowdwork where the collective dimension is completely neglected, with the exception of few original experiences, supported also by Trade Unions, put in place online, due to the virtual character of the crowdwork workplace. However, these initiatives are considered not sufficient in order to build a collective dimension, as they are not enough to guarantee the communication among workers from which a collective interest can rise. For this reason, the Proposal of the European Union requesting platforms to provide crowdworkers with specific virtual infrastructures on the platforms themselves, enabling a communication among workers similar to that which takes place in the physical workplace, is pivotal to facilitate discussions and exchanges of ideas among workers, from which a collective organisation, holding a collective interest, could slowly develop.
Temporality in protection against social risk and legal regulation of social security: domestic and international legal aspects
Authors:   Ural State Law University named after V. F. Yakovlev, Istomina Yelena A. , Fedorova Marina Yu. ,   Ural State Law University named after V. F. Yakovlev
Published: March 2024

Considering the issue of temporality in protection against social risk, the authors point out that this activity, which is complex in nature, includes, as one of the most important elements, compensation for social risks mediated by social security law. The conclusion is substantiated that the influence of time on the legal regulation of social security is manifested at two levels. First, time is included in the sectoral legal mechanism in the form of terms, which are associated with the implementation of the right to protection from social risk. These terms, formalized in the rules of law, must be adequate to the social risk, the goals of social security, and the financial and organizational capabilities of the state. Attention is drawn to the fact that the type of terms - the length of service (insurance experience, length of service, etc.) - is especially dependent on the passage of time, since the experience itself is formed in connection with long-term activity. In addition, over time, it is possible to introduce changes to the legislation that directly affect the implementation of social security rights of citizens. This is the second level of the impact of time on the legal regulation of social security - the impact from the outside. As the most striking example of such influence, the reform of the pension system of the Russian Federation is indicated, however, it is emphasized that international agreements on social security, including pensions, concluded by the Russian Federation and the states of the post-Soviet space, over time and as the priorities of the social policy of the state are gradually clarified, lose their force. are being replaced by new agreements that have a serious impact on the realization of citizens' rights. Thus, it is concluded that the problem of temporality in protection against social risk and legal regulation of social security at the domestic and international legal levels is multidimensional and deserves scientific attention.
Unjustified enrichment and restitution in social security legal relations
Authors:   Siberian Law University, Sedelnikova Marina G. , Trutaeva Anna V. ,   Omsk State University named after F. M. Dostoevsky
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the grounds and prospects for the use of the mechanism of restitution in the law of social security. The authors argue that the industry has developed a need for a legal structure regulating cases of unjustified or excessive provision of social security to citizens. This thesis is illustrated by an analysis of current regulatory legal acts and emerging judicial practice. In resolving disputes of the category considered in the article, the courts took the path of borrowing a private law mechanism of restitution, which is generally supported by the authors. At the same time, the article focuses on the need to comply with the rules developed by science for borrowing private law structures by social security law, including ensuring the sectoral adaptation of the implemented legal instrument. In this regard, the authors draw attention to the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, formulated in Resolution of 14.01.2016 no. 1-P. In the work, this position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is regarded as focusing on a specific industry adaptation of the borrowed legal structure of restitution for the purposes of social security law. The authors emphasize that when the parties to the social security legal relationship return to the state preceding the violation of the law, it is necessary to formalize the distribution of the burden of adverse consequences of the error of the authorized body on the basis of the general legal principle of justice, excluding a formal approach to resolving the legal situation. This involves taking into account the specifics of the life situation in which the citizen is, the duration of the period during which he received the social payment assigned by mistake, as well as other significant circumstances.

Aves en el área de importancia ecológica Madre de Agua del suroccidente de Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Torres-Ariza Sergio Andres , Gil-T Alicia
Published: March 2024

El proceso de densificación y desarrollo urbano conduce a la degradación y fragmentación de los ecosistemas internos y periféricos dentro de las ciudades. La zona suroccidental de Bogotá se destaca como una de las más densamente pobladas, con una muy baja proporción de espacios verdes y árboles per cápita. A pesar de este fenómeno, un área de importancia ecológica conocida como Madre de Agua subsiste en medio del paisaje urbano. Este ambiente contiene una amplia gama de características, que incluyen una cobertura forestal, un relicto de humedal, zonas de árboles aislados y la ronda del río Fucha, todos situados a una altitud de 2 550 m. Con el fin de comprender la importancia ecológica del ecosistema, se elaboró un inventario que permitió evaluar la riqueza de especies de aves y de especies de interés para la conservación. Entre febrero de 2018 y diciembre de 2021, se realizaron transectos de observación, recorridos pedagógicos de ciencia ciudadana y registros incidentales que dieron como resultado un total de 80 especies de aves identificadas. Este conjunto de datos destaca la notable diversidad de aves en el área de estudio, que representa alrededor de un tercio de la avifauna reportada en la sabana de Bogotá. En particular, los hallazgos abarcan tres especies casi endémicas, cuatro especies con categoría de amenaza y 33 especies migratorias. Un registro significativo fue la observación de una subespecie de Ixobrychus exilis, endémica del altiplano cundiboyacense y clasificada en peligro crítico (CR), que no había sido registrada dentro de la ciudad desde 1995. Este estudio ofrece información valiosa que puede ayudar a las estrategias de gestión ambiental en Bogotá, mejorando las iniciativas de la capital para la conservación de la biodiversidad.
Diversidad de hifomicetos acuáticos en la cabecera de la quebrada Grande, estado Miranda, Venezuela
Authors: Fernandrez Da Silva Rafael , Smits Briedis Gunta
Published: March 2024

En los ecosistemas dulceacuícolas, en particular en sistemas lóticos como ríos y quebradas prístinos, se encuentran los hifomicetos acuáticos: hongos anamórficos que degradan material vegetal alóctono o autóctono, facilitando el flujo de nutrientes y energía a niveles tróficos superiores. La presencia de estos microorganismos fúngicos es importante desde el punto de vista ecológico ya que pueden ser bioindicadores de calidad ambiental. Este grupo es ecológicamente heterogéneo y se clasifica en tres tipos: a) ingoldianos, cuyas esporas, mayoritariamente hialinas y tetraradiadas, se desarrollan exclusivamente en el agua; b) aeroacuáticos, de forma helicoidal, cuyo desarrollo se presenta entre el agua y el aire; c) transicionales, de esporas generalmente de forma variable y de color pardo, con desarrollo tanto en el agua como en el suelo. A partir de muestras de espuma natural y mediante microscopía de luz, se registraron mensualmente, durante un año, la riqueza y la diversidad de estas especies en la cabecera de la quebrada Grande, cerca de una represa de agua para la comunidad aledaña. Se identificaron 73 especies: 41 ingoldianas, 4 aero-acuáticas y 28 transicionales, incluyendo 22 nuevos registros para el país: tres ingoldianos (Tetracladium apiense, Tetracladium breve y Tetracladium furcatum), un aero-acuático (Helicodendron intestinale) y 18 transicionales (Acrodictys septosporioides, Acumispora uniseptada, Bactrodesmium fruticosum, Blodgettia indica, Dactylaria acerina, Dactylaria echinophila, Dactylaria humicola, Dactylaria pyricularoides, Endophragmiella pallescens, Fusariella curvata, Fusariella hughesii, Fusarium phragmitis, Mirandina corticola, Sporidesmium acutifusiforme, Sporidesmium casuarinae, Stenella doliiformis, Stenella ocoteae y Stenella variabilis). Entre ellos, el aero-acuático y 17 transicionales, excepto Blodgettia indica, son nuevos reportes para América neotropical. Se encontró que los hifomicetos acuáticos son muy diversos, en particular los ingoldianos y transicionales. Solo algunas especies dominan ampliamente en cada categoría.

Amor
Authors: Gámez Rodríguez Javier Enrique
Published: March 2024

Amor, un caleidoscopio de emociones tejido por la pluma de Javier Gámez, se despliega en un viaje que atraviesa los mágicos parajes de Salónica, la cálida brisa de Santa Marta y las encantadoras calles de Medellín. En Salónica, entre las murallas que guardan los secretos de antiguos amores, Gámez nos sumerge en la nostalgia de un castillo vacío y la danza entre dioses, donde las ruinas y el café se convierten en testigos de amores que se reinventan a cada paso. Santa Marta, con su vasto universo, revela la piel de estrellas y la furia del inquilino, mientras la comunicación interespecie se convierte en un lamento submarino. En el horario de su cuerpo, el poeta se sumerge en las profundidades del alma, enfrentando tormentas y licor lunar. Medellín, ciudad de ser-hemos y talasofobia, se erige como un volcán que arde, desatando una tempestad violeta. Entre recuerdos y el monstruo que habita en el armario, Gámez nos invita a explorar la riqueza de la vida, donde cada palabra es una gota de lluvia en el vasto océano de la existencia.
Molecular Characteristics of Cephalosporin Resistant Escherichia coli and
Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Children in a Tertiary Care Centre of
Central Kerala, India
Authors: Thattil Santhosh J , Dhanaraj Suresh , Ajith Thekkuttuparambil A
Published: March 2024

Aims:

The study was aimed to determine the molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producing cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children below ten years of age.

Background:

Geographically diverse variations in the prevalence of ESBL genes were reported. No data were available on the prevalence of ESBL genes in central Kerala, India, among children below 10 years of age.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was performed to analyze ESBL genes in cephalosporin-re-sistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains isolated from samples received in the Microbiology la-boratory of a tertiary care centre during the period between May 2021 and July 2022. The strains showed that ESBL + cephalosporin resistance was subjected to PCR-based genotyping for the genes such as bla (beta-lactamase) CTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-15, blaCTX-M-U, blaTEM, blaPER and SHV.

Results:

Among the total 228 samples analyzed, 136 (60%) had no growth. Ninety-two (40 %) samples showed growth of E. coli and K. pneumoniae. Among the isolates that showed growth, 39 (42%) were sensitive, and the remaining 53 (57%) were resistant to third-generation cephalospor-ins. Among the isolates showed resistance, 22 (42%) were ESBL positive and 31 (58%) were ESBL negative. Among the positive ESBL, nine E. coli strains (60%) were positive for CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-1. CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-U were present in six (85%) K. pneumoniae with ESBL +.

Conclusion:

E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolated from specimens of children below ten years of age showed 41-42% ESBL producers. Prevalent ESBL-producing genes in E. coli were CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-1. CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-U were prevalent in ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae.
La reconstruction de la mémoire de la Shoah dans le phototexte français contemporain

Published: March 2024

The difficult reconstruction of family memory is at the heart of the two works that are central to this study: Sur la scène intérieure by Marcel Cohen (2013) and C’est maintenant du passé by Marianne Rubinstein (2009). These phototexts present projects of reconstructing family memory after the erasure of memories from witnesses of the Holocaust. Through images from family albums and a few objects that once belonged to the deceased, both authors manage to reconfigure the past and, above all, come to terms with the lack of transmission of memory.

Stuwen en vroeg-industriële bedrijvigheid aan de Vijfwindgaten
Authors: Bryssel Adrien , Devriese Luc
Published: March 2024

In deze bijdrage een vluchtig beeld van de waterbouwkundige en vroeg- industriële situatie in de Vijfwindgatenbuurt. Van het hoogteverschil in waterpeilen tussen de Oude Schelde en de Neerschelde aan de Achtervis- serij werd gebruik gemaakt om één of meer molens aan te drijven door middel van schepraderen. Gezien het eerder geringe hoogteverschil wa- ren dat watermolens van het onderslagtype: het water 'valt' op de bijna onderste schepplanken. Meer in het bijzonder wordt een aldaar actieve textielblekerij - ververij met een blauwselfabriek(je) beschreven. Dit pro- duceerde 'witmaker' voor linnen uit een kobalt houdend erts dat tot poe- der vermalen werd. Dit procedé verdrong het arbeidsintensieve bleken van linnen op natte grasvelden. Omstreeks 1850 werd het sterk vervuilen- de kobalt zelf vervangen door synthetisch ultramarijn.

Charles Verbessem (Elsene 1833-Gent 1899), was een succesvolle ondernemer, politiek actief en lid van belangrijke verenigingen. In zijn tijd hoorde daarbij blijkbaar ook deelname aan de culinaire activiteiten in zowel het Gentse restaurant De Waterzoei als in de vereniging Le Water zoei de Bruxelles. Kunstzinnige medailles werden vervaardigd om de herinnering aan sommige van hun diners te bestendigen. Eén ervan had plaats in 1882 bij de tweede ‘eerste’ steenlegging van de Gentse Voorha ven en huldigde speciaal de Brusselse Gentenaar Verbessem
Herinneringen aan Julien Boes en de ‘Boeskes’ in het oude stadsarchief (Abrahamstraat) en aan de poppenvoorstelleing in de Lange Steenstraat

Vaak werd ik als kind opgevangen door de ‘Boeskes’, zoals mijn ouders hun vrienden Julien Boes (afb. 1) en zijn vrouw Margriet noemden. Dat gebeurde als mijn ouders, beiden acteurs, voorstellingen hadden of op tour nee waren. Ik noemde hen ‘nono Jèn’ en ‘tante Griet’. Ik kon blijkbaar ‘nonkel Julien’ niet goed uitspreken.
Onheil afwerende figuren bij Gentse gebouwen 1. Waarom onheil afwerend?
Authors: Devriese Luc
Published: March 2024

Naast de op laatmiddeleeuwse monumenten algemeen voorkomende sculpturen van monsters en dreigende dieren, zijn er bij sommige Gentse gebouwen talrijke uitgesproken lelijke mensenkoppen te zien. De technische term apotropaeïsch voor dergelijke creaturen is een uit het Grieks afgeleid woord voor afwerend. Het verklaart waarom men zoveel moeite en kosten deed om ze aan te brengen: de sculpturen zouden de bewoners beschermen. In deze kleine GT reeks zullen we zien dat de figuren sterk variëren, maar dat ze eén kenmerk gemeen hebben: ze zien er somber en dreigend uit. Ze zouden door dat uitzicht onheilbrengende machten minstens buitenshuis houden. Daarom gebruiken we hier ook de termen dreigend en onheil afdreigend. De afschrikkende voorstellingen stammen uit het geloof in de ‘witte’ (goede, beschermende) magie. Het zijn geen kwaad willige duivels, lollige saters, faunen of onschuldige drolerieën, termen waarmee ze doorgaans aangeduid worden. Ze hadden voor de mensen van toen een heel belangrijke functie, goedaardig magisch van aard. Dit geloof in de kracht van magie bleef doorleven ook nadat het christendom in de middeleeuwen schijnbaar allesoverheersend werd. Tot op heden zien we uitingen daarvan, bv. bij sporters die bij spannende mo menten een talisman kussen. Dit eerste deeltje van een kleine GTreeks peilt naar de achtergronden van dit geloof en probeert de gedachtewereld te beschrijven waarin de sculpturen tot stand kwamen.
On the Afterlife of Things in Artworks: Doris Salcedo’s Atrabiliarios and Other Contact Relics: The Twenty-First Horst Gerson Lecture held on October 12, 2023
Authors: Walker Monika
Published: March 2024

The Twenty-First Horst Gerson Lecture held in memory of Horst Gerson (1907-1978) in the Aula of the University of Groningen on the 12th of October 2023. Everyday things, as they have increasingly led their afterlives in works of art since the 1960s, have a history of previous use attached to them. This made them particularly relevant for new artistic strategies developed in the context of the memorial debates since the 1980s. This publication is concerned with different forms of violence that are central to cultures of memory and explores how materials and things are made to talk about this in the new context of the artwork. Initially it is about European examples that - as in the case of Christian Boltanski and Sigrid Sigurdsson - revolved around the Holocaust. Methodologically, the focus is on analysing the semantics of the materials, an approach that offers options of connecting to works from other parts of the world for which other incidents and traumata form the frame of reference. In the afterlife of material things and their encounters with forms of violence, artists as diverse as Xu Bing, Romuald Hazoumé and Doris Salcedo, whose eponymous work is at the centre of the publication, meet.

AbstractThis study aims to see whether the e-satisfaction variable can have a mediating effect on e-service quality and perceived ease of use on online repurchase intention on marketplace sites. The consumers on the marketplace website were provided with online questionnaires as part of the research method. A total of 268 respondents were gathered. The data were then analyzed utilizing LISREL 8.70 software. The results revealed that e-satisfaction could partially mediate between e-service quality and online repurchase intention and could fully mediate between perceived ease of use on online repurchase intention. The implication is that marketplace sites need to improve e-satisfaction through e-service quality, which is continuously improved and provides easy-to-understand features for consumers; thus, it can encourage the desire to repurchase products/services on the marketplace site.  Keywords:E-Service Quality, Perceived Ease of Use, E-Satisfaction, Online Repurchase Intention, Marketplace
