A economia criativa como motor do desenvolvimento local: o caso de Natividade – TO
Authors: Silva Felício Cordeiro da , Vieira Edson Trajano , Santos Moacir José dos
Published: December 2024

As atividades relacionadas à economia criativa são uma alternativa para a inserção produtiva, diferenciando-se das demais atividades econômicas por utilizar aspectos criativos para a sua realização. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a contribuição das atividades de economia criativa para o desenvolvimento local no município de Natividade – TO. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa documental, mediante dados disponibilizados pelo IBGE, FIRJAN, relatórios, documentos e bancos de dados do município de Natividade e do estado do Tocantins, do IPHAN e da Associação Comunitária Cultural de Natividade – ASCCUNA. Os resultados demonstraram que a exploração de algumas tradições culturais centenárias de Natividade, como a ourivesaria, a produção de biscoitos e as danças folclóricas geram emprego e renda, com contribuição para a economia do município. No entanto, o forte potencial do turismo religioso das três maiores festas da tradição católica nativitana ainda não é explorado. Essa limitação impede o desenvolvimento pleno do potencial da economia criativa para o município, especialmente quanto a inclusão produtiva da população local. Os dados apresentados nesse trabalho podem subsidiar políticas públicas para fomentar a consolidação da econômica criativa enquanto setor relevante da economia local.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo realizou uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura para investigar como a relação entre o nível de escolaridade e a distribuição de renda foi estudada entre 1977 e 2024. A partir da análise de 101 artigos extraídos das bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science, foi constatado um crescimento significativo nas publicações sobre o tema, com um aumento médio de 1,49% a cada ano ao longo do período, evidenciando sua crescente relevância na academia. A análise bibliométrica revelou a formação de quatro clusters de autores influentes, com predominância de estudos quantitativos, especialmente regressões. No entanto, a relação direta entre escolaridade e distribuição de renda foi frequentemente abordada de forma secundária, sendo o foco principal as discussões sobre crescimento econômico e desigualdade de renda. Este estudo aponta a necessidade de uma investigação mais aprofundada sobre como o nível de educação impacta diretamente a distribuição de renda. O estudo permitiu indicar lacunas na literatura e uma série de proposições de pesquisas futuras.

Razón y emoción: colaboración necesaria para el conocimiento
Authors: Estany Anna
Published: December 2024

El abordaje de la razón puede rastrearse a lo largo de la historia de la filosofía de Aristóteles a Kant hasta nuestros días. La emoción tampoco ha sido ajena a la filosofía, aunque su relación con la razón ha motivado debates en los que las posiciones al respecto han dado lugar a sistemas epistemológicos dispares. La obra de Antonio Damasio es extensa con aportaciones relevantes sobre procesos cerebrales, emociones, sentimientos y conciencia. El objetivo de este artículo es el análisis de algunas ideas desarrolladas por Damasio a lo largo de su obra que tienen especial relevancia para la filosofía de la ciencia y la epistemología.
El innatismo moderado y las proyecciones políticas del imperativo homeostático
Authors: Braicovich Rodrigo Sebastián
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer un análisis crítico de las proyecciones políticas que Antonio Damasio ha planteado de su concepción específica de la homeostasis. Partiendo de una concepción compleja de la homeostasis, que no sólo se centra en el mantenimiento de la vida sino también en el florecimiento, Damasio sostiene que ciertas culturas son contrarias al imperativo homeostático. Sugeriré que, incluso si adoptamos la interpretación compleja de la homeostasis (en lugar de la desinflada habitual en la mayoría de los planteamientos evolucionistas), recurrir al concepto de homeostasis nos llevaría a condenar las sociedades capitalistas modernas, no desde un punto de vista ético o político, sino estrictamente evolutivo
Innovation at the Heart: Unveiling the Strategic Mastery of Family Firms in Resource Management
Authors: Garcés-Galdeano Lucía , Beaumont Miqueleiz Marina
Published: December 2024

In the current business landscape, innovation is essential for companies to ensure their survival and competitiveness. However, innovation often requires substantial investments that may exceed a company's internal resources, leading businesses to seek alternative mechanisms such as technological collaboration with external entities and internal R&D expenditure. Research has shown that both strategies positively influence firms' innovation performance. However, the factors affecting organizational behaviour and outcomes are often overlooked. Family businesses, characterized by their unique ownership structure and intertwined financial and non-financial goals, are ideal for studying how these objectives impact innovation decisions. This study aims to determine whether technological collaboration and internal R&D expenditure have a greater effect on the innovation processes of family firms compared to non-family firms. Using data from 2,415 Spanish companies over ten years, this research contributes to the literature by integrating the socioemotional wealth perspective and demonstrating that family firms are better equipped to implement and benefit from these strategies to enhance innovation outcomes.

Published: December 2024

The tourism sector in Indonesia offers a significant platform for family businesses to drive economic growth, particularly in rural areas. In such settings, these enterprises often involve not only nuclear families but also extended families connected through kinship networks. This study examines the role of kinship in the development of family businesses within the Ciletuh Palabuhanratu UNESCO Global Geopark, Indonesia. Focusing on family enterprises in Ciwaru village, the research aims to explore how kinship relationships contribute to business sustainability and growth. Utilizing qualitative methods and a case study approach, the study applies concepts of family business, kinship, and inheritance systems. Findings reveal that kinship serves as a critical resource, providing labor, facilitating business promotion, ensuring generational continuity, and broadening business activities. These networks foster cooperation, trust, and shared experience, enabling family businesses to thrive. Furthermore, the growth of these enterprises has played a pivotal role in addressing poverty in Ciwaru village, highlighting the socio-economic impact of kinship-based family businesses.
The Role of Networks for Radical Change in Family Firms: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Reiners Caroline , Kammerlander Nadine
Published: December 2024

In this literature review, we explore the pivotal role of family firms’ networks (e.g., relationships with employees, suppliers, or customers) in the detection and implementation of radical change. Prior research has mostly taken an isolated perspective, studying only one or two of the three fields “family firms,” “networks,” and “radical change.” We provide a comprehensive synthesis of existing literature, including 79 scholarly papers and use the Input-Process-Output (IPO) framework as an organizing instrument to analyze insights from research on family firms, networks, and radical change. We develop a research agenda targeted at linking networks, radical change detection, and radical change implementation in family firms, highlighting that family firm networks, with their distinct configurations and behaviors, can significantly influence the success or failure of radical change adaptation.
Nepotism and Turnover Intention in Middle Eastern Family Firms: Examining the Mediating Influence of Individual and Organizational Factors
Authors: Shatila Khodor , Yela-Aránega Alba , Sánchez-Marín Gregorio
Published: December 2024

This study examines nepotism’s direct and indirect effects on family firms, considering several critical factors mediating individual and organizational aspects. Specifically, on a sample of 387 family firms in the Middle East region, we investigate the mediating role of commitment, engagement and job satisfaction in the relationship between nepotism and turnover intention. Using a structural equation modelling methodology to test our propositions empirically, results corroborate the pivotal mediating effects in elucidating how nepotism affects turnover intention. Our paper adds depth and nuances to this complex phenomenon in the context of strong familial influence in business development.

Study on Guided Slot-Oriented Hydraulic Fracturing and Enhanced Permeability Application Technology in Pingdingshan Coal Mine
Authors: Shen Zhiyuan , Wang Chunting , Yang Zhenlong
Published: December 2024

To address the issue of low permeability in the coal seam of Pingdingshan coal mine, this study proposes a directional hydraulic fracturing technique enhanced by a preset guide groove, aimed at improving coal seam extraction efficiency. The COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software is utilized to develop a coupling model that integrates coal rock stress, damage, and permeability during hydraulic fracturing. The study examines the changes in the elastic damage modulus and effective extraction radius under the influence of the guide groove, with field tests conducted on the 24130 working face. Results from both numerical simulations and field tests reveal that the horizontal principal stress exceeds the vertical principal stress under the influence of the guide channel, leading to horizontal tensile fractures in the rock stratum. Post-fracturing, the average gas concentration in the extraction borehole reached 42.4%, with an average pure gas extraction rate of 0.0098 m3/min, and an effective extraction radius of 3.6 m, aligning well with the simulation results.
Muscle Weakness – new genetic defect transmitted to Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle
Authors: Kamiński S.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study was to find out whether carriers of new genetic defect Muscle Weakness (MW) occur in the population of Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls. Fifty bulls were included in the analysis. Bulls were selected as having in the pedigree known carrier of MW. All bulls were diagnosed by DNA sequencing of CACNA1S gene containing single nucleotide substitution (rs3423414874) responsible for 97% of MW cases. Among 50 bulls, 19 MW carriers were found. Our results show that causal mutation for MW is already transmitted to Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle which is sufficient ground to take practical action in order to avoid further spreading of mutation causing MW.

Authors: Pollack Elizabeth A. , Cromwell Lauren N. , Zhao Qianqian , Sage Adrianna M.
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

To assess the accuracy of a flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS; FreeStyle Libre 2) in healthy dogs during isoflurane general anesthesia.

METHODS

6 purpose-bred Beagle dogs underwent 3 anesthetic events, 1 week apart, in a randomized crossover study. 1 of 3 mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) states were induced under isoflurane anesthesia (hypotension [MAP, ≤ 60 mm Hg], normotension [MAP, 80 to 120 mm Hg], and hypertension [MAP, ≥ 120 mm Hg]) for 40 minutes. Interstitial glucose was collected from an FGMS (applied to the dog's neck prior to anesthesia) at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes from stabilization within targeted MAP range. Whole-blood samples were collected from a lateral saphenous vein for plasma glucose measurement (blood glucose gold standard; BGGS) and via marginal lip mucosal puncture for point-of-care glucose measurement (blood glucose point-of-care; BGPOC). Shrout-Fleiss intraclass correlation and Bland-Altman analysis were performed. Accuracy was determined using human International Organization for Standardization criteria, including Parkes consensus error grid analysis.

RESULTS

Interstitial glucose strongly correlated with BGGS and BGPOC (intraclass correlation, 0.962 and 0.953, respectively). Interstitial glucose measured higher than BGGS (median[IQR] difference 9[−2 to 20] g/dL) and lower than BGPOC (−27[−37 to −11] g/dL). Interstitial glucose BGGS increased as MAP decreased. 62.1% and 63.3% of interstitial glucose measurements were within ± 15 mg/dL when BGGS ≤ 100 mg/dL and within ± 15% of BGGS when > 100 mg/dL, respectively. However, 100% were within zones A and B of error grid analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite not meeting International Organization for Standardization standards, the FreeStyle Libre 2 demonstrated clinical accuracy for monitoring glucose concentrations in anesthetized dogs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The application of an FGMS before anesthesia may be useful for monitoring at-risk patients perioperatively.
Quality of life improvement in 3 dogs with sleep-disordered breathing managed by permanent (crico)tracheostomy
Authors: Hynes Jessica M. , Menard Jenna V. , Lopez Daniel J.
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

To retrospectively describe the management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) via permanent (crico)tracheostomy (PT).

METHODS

The sample was 3 client-owned dogs. Each of the dogs had variable clinical signs related to their SDB with all having severely affected quality of sleep and experiencing multiple apneic episodes a night in the study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. Two of the 3 dogs showed minimal daytime clinical signs, with 1 owner reporting no noticeable changes in breathing, activity, or alertness, while another noted only mild alterations. Despite previous brachycephalic airway surgery, clinical signs persisted or recurred, and all owners considered euthanasia secondary to nighttime signs. Permanent (crico)tracheostomy was elected in all cases.

RESULTS

Medical records were reviewed, and a standardized survey was administered to owners. All cases demonstrated variable degrees of improvement in the severity and frequency of clinical signs relating to SDB following PT, and overall quality of life improved from poor to good in all cases. All cases experienced surgical complications ranging from moderate to severe following PT, with 2 of 3 dogs requiring revision surgeries for skin-fold occlusion and stenosis of the PT.

CONCLUSIONS

Sleep-disordered breathing may be an underrecognized component of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, with nighttime clinical signs significantly impacting quality of life.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Permanent (crico)tracheostomy may be considered in cases that either do not respond to initial brachycephalic airway surgery or in cases where clinical signs recur years after initial surgery. Owners should be aware of the likelihood of revision surgeries to achieve optimal outcomes.

Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the interdependence between the environment and the health of the population of Ukraine. The processes of destructive changes in the ecosystem of the regions of Ukraine, the use of human capital, and the dependence of public health on the environment have become the object of study and constitute the main goals of this study. To achieve the goals, general scientific and special methods of analysis and techniques were used: economic analysis and comparison – to assess the health status of the population, correlation–regression method – to build a system of equations and identify the dependence of the mortality rate on the impact of environmental factors, the grouping method – to analyze indicators of population morbidity by regions of Ukraine, induction and deduction. With the help of these techniques, the cause-and-effect relationships of the population’s morbidity and the influence of environmental factors on their dynamics were studied. To characterize the qualitative state of the environment in Ukraine, laboratory methods were used – the method of threshold limit value (TLV) of water, air, soil pollution, etc. To assess the quality of the living environment, an index method was used (the suitability index is a synthetic indicator of the quality of the living environment). Statistical data for the analysis were taken from the information bulletins of the State Sanitary Epidemiological Service for 2021‒2022, the statistical yearbook of Ukraine for 2019‒2021, and the Center for Health Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. It was determined that the prospects of the national economy will depend on the one hand, on the ability to quickly and effectively adapt to the new, modern requirements of globalization processes and on the other hand, on the consciousness of the population and the rational use of natural resources. It has been proven that the solution of medical and environmental problems directly depends on the professionalism of personnel and the motivation to preserve the environment for future generations. The quality of the living environment of the population depends on a safe environment and rational nature management.

This article discusses the significance of geophysical research in the context of historical renewal, emphasizing its contributions to risk assessment, sustainable redevelopment, and non-uniqueness in geophysical interpretation. The geophysical studies were conducted in the surroundings of the Palace of Rzuchów, timing to locate the modern infrastructure, historical objects, and other environmental elements that can either threaten the renewal process or add value to the historical heritage. We used three geophysical methods to study the palace surroundings: frequency domain electromagnetics, magnetometry, and electrical resistivity tomography. The findings revealed significant anomalies corresponding to buried modern infrastructure and historical artifacts, offering critical insights for preserving cultural heritage while planning sustainable redevelopment, thus demonstrating the practical utility of integrating geophysical methods in complex historical and environmental contexts.
Development of Media Consumption of Hungarians in Slovakia in the Light of Empirical Data
Authors: Lampl Zuzana Mészárosová , Kočnerová Mária
Published: December 2024

Research on the media consumption of national minorities contributes to identifying whether the media have an impact on the formation of national identity. The language and symbols used by the media are a strong factor influencing this identity. In the presented study, we focused on the analysis and comparison of empirical data resulting from several sociological researches carried out by the authors of this study on the Hungarian minority in Slovakia. The research was mainly focused on media consumption, the type of media that the Hungarian minority prefers to follow, because we assume that the chosen medium and its language contribute to the formation of identity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the development of media consumption among the above-mentioned minority and to evaluate changes in consumption upon the discovery of new modern media.
Study on plantar pressure in overground gait rehabilitation system that may facilitate return to work
Authors: Badea Doina Ioana , Ciobanu Ileana , Rașcu Agripina , Seiciu Petre Lucian , Berteanu Mihai
Published: December 2024

Background
This study is focused on the investigation of advanced technology with potential involvement in the process of rehabilitation of working–age patients with orthopedic and neurologic disabilities. The main advantages of the use of advanced technology are related to decrease in recovery time and increase in return-to-work rate. This study addresses the biomechanics of walking and compares different gait sessions with RELIVE system. The purpose is to highlight the effect on the plantar pressure changes the system has during these sessions.

Methods
The study was realized on 15 healthy, disability-free subjects tested in 6 walking sessions. All the selected sessions were characterized by one particular characteristic, walking with hands on the handrail, and each participant had to perform three walks during each session. The F-Scan device from Tekscan (research software version), attached to the participants’ belt was used to record the plantar pressure for each of the 18 walks.

Results
When walking with hands on the handrail, with 20% body weight offload, the average pressure values were lower with the alternator turned on compared to the seasons with the alternator turned off. Additionally, the body weight offloading of the participants determined by the body weight support subsystem resulted in decreased average pressure values with each percentage of unloaded body weight.

Conclusion
The unloading of the participants' weight was obtained by the body weight support subsystem. In all gait sessions studied, a drawback is represented by the interferences between the alternator and the body weight support subsystem. Therefore, is mandatory to find a solution for the interference between these two systems to assure a better gait training. Thus, a good alternative for conventional rehabilitation of working-age patients could be RELIVE system.
Usos e sentidos da educação não formal nos debates parlamentares portugueses entre 1976 e 2023
Authors: Jardim Carolina , Palhares José Augusto
Published: December 2024

Non-formal education has received increasing political attention. This article aims to problematise the heterogeneous meanings attributed to non-formal education in parliamentary debates in Portugal between 1976 and 2023. Our approach is based on a thematic documentary analysis of Portuguese parliamentary debates from the 3rd Republic onwards, in which reference was made to the notion of “non-formal education”. The aim is to discuss the extent to which political debates that invoke non-formal education come closer to or distance themselves from European perspectives on lifelong learning. The results indicate that the uses of non-formal education enshrined in the Diário da Assembleia (Official Gazette of the Portuguese Parliament) are discursively aligned with European political trends and orientations. Non-formal education has become a tool for promoting employability, whose specificities allegedly favour acquiring skills valued in the labour market.

Authors: Furtado Euclides Manuel Lopes , Lucas Margarida , Bem-Haja Pedro
Published: December 2024

The understanding that in this digital era, being a “Leader”/“Pioneer” in digital proficiency makes a difference in the professional performance of teachers, especially those who work in Higher Education Institutions, dictated the adaptation of the Check-In tool in Cape Verde. The main purpose of this study was to adapt the Check-In and analyse the digital proficiency of teachers, aiming to contribute to the optimisation of strengths and the reduction of weaknesses. The results confirm the internal consistency of the Check-In and show that the digital competence of most teachers oscillates between Newcomer and Expert, as well as ensure the absence of significant differences in digital proficiency concerning gender, age, type of contract, and years of service. The conclusions suggest the urgency of strengthening teachers’ digital skills and prioritising the use of digital technologies.
Green Cities, Gray Realities: The Rhetoric of Sustainability and Urban Segregation
Authors: Godoy Jeane Aparecida Rombi de , Benini Sandra Medina , Silva Allan Leon Casemiro da , Palmisano Angelo
Published: December 2024

Objective: Critically analyze the concept of urban sustainability, highlighting how it has been instrumentalized by neoliberal logics that favor social exclusion. The study seeks to expose how sustainability has lost its transformative character and become a tool for marketing and real estate valuation, contributing to gentrification and urban segregation.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research is based on authors such as David Harvey, Erik Swyngedouw, and Sharon Zukin, who discuss the commodification of urban space, green neoliberalism, and the alienation of the right to the city. Theories by Henri Lefebvre on the right to the city and Pierre Bourdieu on the dynamics of power in social space are also explored.
 
Method: A methodological approach based on critical literature review and case analysis was adopted to understand how the discourse of sustainability has been appropriated by economic interests to legitimize urban inequalities.
 
Results and Discussion: The study concludes that urban sustainability, when co-opted by neoliberal practices, reinforces the status quo, legitimizes the privatization of public space, and deepens inequalities. The so-called "green cities" are often showcases to attract investments and tourists, excluding vulnerable populations. To reclaim its critical potential, sustainability must be linked to a social justice agenda and resource redistribution.
 
Research Implications: The findings point to the need to reorient urban sustainability policies to make them inclusive and promote equity. This includes questioning the power structures that generate inequalities and ensuring that the benefits of environmental policies are distributed among all urban inhabitants.
 
Originality/Value: The research provides an original contribution by criticizing the instrumentalization of urban sustainability as a tool of exclusion and proposing a conceptual restructuring that integrates socio-environmental justice into the urban agenda.

Authors: Silva Allan Leon Casemiro da , Benini Sandra Medina , Godoy Jeane Aparecida Rombi de
Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze, using big data, the research conducted over the past ten years on economic development and sustainability in the Amazon, using the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) as an analytical basis to identify patterns, knowledge gaps, and trends that may inform effective public policies.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research is based on the concept of TBL proposed by Elkington (2018), which encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions as pillars of sustainable development, promoting an integrated balance between economic prosperity, social justice, and environmental protection.
 
Method: The methodology involved data collection from the Web of Science platform, followed by big data analysis and clustering techniques using K-means and DBSCAN algorithms. Articles related to economic development and sustainability in the Amazon were identified and grouped according to the TBL pillars.
 
Results and Discussion: The results revealed three main clusters (social, economic, and environmental), highlighting conflicts and convergences among the development objectives of the Amazon. A predominance of social studies was observed, followed by environmental and economic studies, indicating specific gaps in the integration of these pillars.
 
Research Implications: The results provide inputs for the formulation of public policies aimed at a more balanced development of the Amazon, integrating the three TBL pillars and valuing local communities.
 
Originality/Value: The originality of the study lies in the use of big data and clustering analysis to explore the relationship between development and sustainability in the Amazon, providing an integrated view of emerging trends and research gaps.

Published: December 2024

Dengue fever is one of the most potentially vector-borne diseases caused by the dengue virus. This fever has emerged as the fastest-spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, with a great increase in incidence over recent decades. This review examined the global prevalence of dengue fever across different regions and populations, providing insights into its epidemiological and clinical characteristics. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed for studies using multiple keywords. Of the 252 articles identified, 21 met the criteria. Studies included reported prevalence data for dengue fever confirmed through laboratory diagnostics. The pooled prevalence of confirmed dengue fever was 32.9%, with a range of 1.9%-80.5%. Asymptomatic cases were notably higher, with a pooled prevalence of 56.9%. Seroprevalence across diagnostic markers varied with IgG (28.2%), immunoglobulin M (IgM) (15.6%), Ribonucleic acid (23.2%), NS1 antigen (28%), and combined IgG/IgM (29%). Malaria-dengue coinfections were reported in 4.2% of cases. Regional trends revealed significant variability, with Asia contributing 76.3% of imported dengue cases globally, followed by the Americas (15.7%). Asymptomatic cases accounted for a substantial burden, often undetected but critical in sustaining transmission cycles. Dengue fever represents a significant global health burden, with asymptomatic cases playing a critical role in transmission dynamics. Variability in prevalence across regions and diagnostic markers underscores the need for standardized surveillance and early detection strategies. Public health efforts should prioritize targeted interventions in high-burden regions and strengthen integrated disease management. Further research is needed to address regional disparities, the implications of asymptomatic infections, and coinfection dynamics to inform global dengue control strategies.

Pediatric sepsis in pediatric intensive care units remains a major global health concern, with an average prevalence of 52.6% and an average mortality rate of 30.5%. This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis of pediatric sepsis across diverse settings, highlighting significant regional and clinical variations in outcomes. Early recognition and timely administration of antibiotics are crucial in reducing mortality, while managing underlying comorbidities such as severe malnutrition, multiorgan dysfunction, and late hospital admission plays a pivotal role in improving the outcome. Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., were found to be the most prevalent pathogens, with an antimicrobial resistance rate of 36.5%. Moreover, viral DNAemia, including pathogens like torque teno virus and adenovirus, also contributes significantly to immune suppression and secondary infections. Geographical and socioeconomic disparities were evident, with higher mortality rates observed in rural areas and among indigenous populations. The results underscore the urgent need for region-specific strategies to enhance infection control, implement antimicrobial stewardship, and address healthcare access inequalities. In conclusion, this review highlighted the importance of targeted interventions, novel antimicrobial therapies, and the role of precision medicine in reducing the global burden of pediatric sepsis. Further research focusing on the socioeconomic determinants of sepsis outcomes is critical for optimizing care and improving survival rates in critically ill children.

The Mental Well-being of Adolescent Mothers Affected by Intimate Partner Violence: Challenging the Barriers of Gender Inequity
Authors: Washington Danielle
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The postpartum period is considered a period of increased risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) for new mothers, specifically for adolescent women. Both the mother and her baby are at risk for poor health and mental health outcomes. Methods: Literature was reviewed focusing on the influence of IPV and the mental health effects on adolescent women, aged 10-19 years old, within their postpartum stage. ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Database, PubMed, Scholars Portal Journals, and APA PsycInfo were searched for studies published worldwide between 2010 – 2020. The key search terms were intimate partner violence, mental health, adolescent mothers, young mothers, pregnancy and postpartum. Findings: The effects of IPV on adolescent mothers’ mental health during the postpartum period included low parenting moral, sleeping difficulties, increased stress levels, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Gender inequality was identified as a primary risk factor for IPV. Gender roles influence the social decisions made by young adults, impacting their well-being. Discussion and Conclusion: Experiencing IPV during the postpartum phase contributes to negative mental health outcomes. It is important to confront unequal gender relations in early adolescence, with a focus on eliminating IPV and improving adolescent mothers’ mental well-being. Gender transformative health promotion interventions to challenge the barriers of gender inequity related to IPV are considered, with a focus on education and advocacy.

This article explores the themes of exile, identity, and memory through Véronique Tadjo’s autofictional novel, Loin de mon père (2010). The work narrates the return of Nina, a Franco-Ivorian, to Côte d’Ivoire for her father’s funeral. This return triggers a deep introspection and a confrontation with her roots and bicultural identity. By depicting the complexities of familial relationships and the reminiscences of collective memory, Tadjo questions the dynamics between modernity and tradition in Africa. The article also analyzes the impact of exile and mixed heritage, highlighting Nina’s struggle to re-anchor herself in a disrupted cultural and familial context.
Review of Black Gathering: Art, Ecology, Ungiven Life by Sarah Jane Cervenak (Duke University Press)
Authors: Currie-Williams Kelann
Published: December 2024

In Black Gathering: Art, Ecology, Ungiven Life, Sarah-Jane Cervenak engages with the ecoaesthetic, ecopoetic, and ecoliterary work of Black artists and writers who, through their engagement with the environment, imagine the earth and Black life outside the logics of governance, property and ownership. Guided by two primary concepts, Cervenak considers “Gathering” and “Ungiven” as crucial frameworks to think otherwise about Black sociality, togetherness, and gathering aesthetically. By attending to the creative and artistic practices of Toni Morrison, Nikki Wallschlaeger, Samiya Bashir, Gabrielle Ralambo-Rajerison, Gayl Jones, and Leonardo Drew, Cervenak underlines “gathering” as both an act of resistance to the enclosures of anti-blackness and an insistent practice of “deregulated togetherness.”
Racial Capitalism, Refugee Adjudication, and the Performances of Zama Zama
Authors: Metzger Sean
Published: December 2024

This essay investigates the category of the refugee as an instantiation of racial capitalism. To illustrate this conjunction, it first examines international law that defines refugees and, then, looks to specific national jurisprudence that accords different recognition to them. The national contexts discussed are the United States, given that the racial discourse there serves as a ground for the most widely known theorization of racial capitalism via Cedric Robinson’s book Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition, and South Africa, where racial capitalism was first coined. Robinson’s work is briefly elaborated in relation to subsequent scholarship that has engaged and extended the concept of racial capitalism, in relation to the particularities of South Africa racialization, and in relation to zama zamas (unregulated miners, often perceived as foreigners who threaten the Rainbow Nation’s stability in various ways). Given limitations of space, the essay uses the overview of juridical regimes and the excursus on Robinson to rethink the category of refugee. Zama zamas and the history of the South African mining sector as it informs understandings of race are posited as a fruitful direction for further research because these phenomena help to extend the entwinement of race and refugee and the implications of Robinson’s text for understanding refugees anew.
Śląsk austriacki i Śląsk pruski w prasie galicyjskiej w latach 1916–1922
Authors: Sagan-Bielawa Mirosława
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the historical and cultural circumstances of the range and meaning of geographical name Śląsk (Silesia) and its derivatives (Upper Silesia, Cieszyn Silesia, Opole Silesia) using the example of Polish newspapers edited in Cracow and Lviv (former Galicia). The analysis shows that the choronym Śląsk was relatively narrow in its scope in Galician journals. Until the end of the First World War the name had mainly referred to the crown land of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The ways of naming parts of Silesia have been changing from 1920 to 1922, when finally part of Cieszyn Silesia (former Austrian Silesia) and then part of Upper Silesia (former Prussian Silesia) were annexed to the Polish state. According to Wojciech Chlebda’s conception of “mental map”, toponyms used in texts not only identify places, but also constitute components of the cultural code of a community at particular time.
„A później będzie płacz…”
Authors: Domaciuk-Czarny Izabela
Published: December 2024

This article examines the characteristics of subject lines in email marketing messages, focusing on subscription-based communications from marketing professionals. These messages, which promote participation in webinars and purchase of products such as training materials and e-books, are targeted at entrepreneurs and constitute an integral component of marketing communication. Recognized as inherently persuasive, these emails frequently employ eye-catching headlines in bold type, embellished with emojis, to capture attention. The study analyses how varied sentence structures – including interrogative, imperative, and declarative forms – influence recipients’ emotions. Additionally, the use of colloquial language and, most probably, intentional linguistic mistakes is explored as a strategy to build rapport with potential clients. The ultimate objective of these messages is to maximize customer acquisition and drive sales of the advertised products.
Pomirki, Kamarka, Pietrus, Radiów – o etymologii ludowej i naukowej wybranych mikrotoponimów z obszaru dawnej Łemkowszczyzny
Authors: Słabczyński Robert
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to present the folk etymology of selected microtoponyms, their scientific verification aimed at establishing the actual origin of the names, showing differences between the folk and scientific etymology. The article also describesthe mechanisms governing folk etymological reinterpretation in the ethnolinguistic borderlands. This is because the villages covered by the study are located in areas that until the 1940s had been inhabited mainly by Lemkos, the population of Polish origin being a minority. It was found that most often etymological reinterpretation concerned mainly names with topographical and affiliation motivation, which was due to changes in the population structure after the displacement of Lemkos, as well as significant transformations in the topographical space of the study area.
Pamulorze, Cebulorze, Grzybki, Rabarbary, czyli o pewnej kategorii przezwisk gwarowych
Authors: Kurdyła Tomasz
Published: December 2024

The article is dedicated to dialectal nicknames motivated by culinary art. Strictly speaking, they are collective nicknames given to inhabitants of neighbouring villages. Such names are not very well documented in linguistic articles, so they are still waiting for a more comprehensive description. In this article, the motivational characteristics of those onyms, as well as their division and formal description, are presented. The largest group of neighbours’ dialectal nicknames based on culinary art includes anthroponyms originating from the names of dishes characteristic of the nicknamed villages (most of them refer to simple regional dishes or to food which is somehow untypical of a village). The second largest group includes nicknames motivated by activities related to culinary art. Other motivational classes have just an indirect, formal connection with food: these names are based on lexemes related to cuisine, but their motivation is not culinary. They include nicknames motivated by crops characteristic of the nicknamed villages and locative nicknames. A few anthroponyms are individual in nature. All the names were generally created through morphological derivation (derivates with the suffix -arz are dominant). They were rarely created through neo-semantization. The lexemes that were collected and analysed confirm the dynamic nature of nicknaming processes in villages. They constitute a characteristic feature of their language and, at the same time, make an anthroponymic category that is, in a way, universal.
