Nilai Kerja Lansia Abdi Dalem Keraton Yogyakarta Pasca UU Keistimewaan Yogyakarta
Authors: Sa'adah Nurus
Published: March 2018

Statistical data shows that Yogyakarta Special Region (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta – DIY) has the largest number of elderly in comparison to other provinces throughout Indonesia. As a province headed by a sultan, there is a tendency for residents of Yogyakarta to serve as courtiers to the Yogyakarta Sultanate for life. More than 50% of the 2200 courtiers are over 60 years old (elderlies). These elderly courtiers willingly serve for decades without pay as they only expect to be afforded “peparingan” (charity contributions) from the Sultan. With the implementation of the Law on Privileges of Yogyakarta as a Special Region year 2012, the wages for courtiers have since multiplied compared to the Sultan’s previous peparingan. The object of this research is to find a tendency in the work value of elderly courtiers in the Yogyakarta Sultanate and examine whether changes in work value before and after the issuance of the Law on Privileges of Yogyakarta occurred. Data collection was conducted through interviews with 12 punokawan courtiers working in the Yogyakarta Sultanate. Results show that elderly courtiers tend to possess work value relating to comfort, altruism, and status. No difference in these three work values were observed before and after the implementation of the Privileged Fund that lead to additional income, this is because added income is considered as a blessing for their continuous whole-hearted services.
A rare form of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome and a literature review of ex utero intrapartum treatment
Authors: Sadek Seifeldin , Chun Hajoon
Published: March 2018

Objective

This is a rare presentation of a fetus with a right mainstem bronchus occlusion leading to congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS).

Methods

A review of 15 articles reporting on the use of the ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure.

Results

A total of 22 reported cases of CHAOS had undergone the EXIT procedure from 1994 to 2016. Seventy-seven percent of fetuses that underwent EXIT were alive at the last point of follow-up, but only 36% were alive without any sequelae.

Conclusion

CHAOS is a rare malformation, but after the development of EXIT, survival is a viable option. It is associated with other malformations, but its etiology is entirely unknown.

Anterolateral Ligament (ALL) — Myth or Reality?
Authors: Roman Mihai , Russu Octav , Prejbeanu Radu , Todor Adrian , Predescu Vlad , Codorean Bogdan , Băţagă Tiberiu , Fleaca Radu
Published: March 2018

Although the anterolateral ligament (ALL) was described a long time ago, recent research shows a lot of interest regarding this structure. There is a high variability concerning its anatomy, especially its capsular/extracapsular situation and insertion sites. There is also some controversy about its ligamentous structure. It seems that it has a biomechanical role in restricting anterior tibial translation and internal rotation. The ALL complex seems to have a clinical significance, and a relationship with the pivot shift has been described. Although there are promising results recently, the surgical techniques of ALL reconstruction, in addition to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, have to be further investigated. A precise indication algorithm and patient selection criteria need to be established.
Prognosis of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Regarding the Presence FLT3 Gene Mutation – a Case Report
Authors: Bzduch Árpád , Benedek István , Bíró Szilárd , Sándor-Kéri Johanna , Lázár Erzsébet , Benedek István
Published: March 2018

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancerous disease affecting the myeloid line of the bone marrow cells. FLT3, also known as CD135, is a proto-oncogene, which, if mutated, leads to different types of cancer. The protein it encodes presents tyrosine-kinase activity, and its intratandem mutation, FLT3-ITD, leads to uncontrolled proliferation of myeloblasts and worse outcomes in AML patients. There are currently several pharmacological agents that can inhibit the effect of either the proteins with tyrosine-kinase activity or the mutated FLT3 gene. We present the case of a 68-year-old patient, smoker, with a history of arterial hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presenting with headache unresponsive to antalgics, dyspnea after physical exertion, and epistaxis, with onset 2 months prior to his presentation. The patient was diagnosed with AML with positive FTL3 mutation for which conventional induction therapy was initiated. Within the next days, the patient presented several complications related to the disease itself or caused by the treatment, which eventually led to his death.
Watch and Wait – Actualities in the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Authors: Bíró Szilárd , Benedek István , Bzduch Árpád , Sándor-Kéri Johanna , Lázár Erzsébet , Benedek István
Published: March 2018

In Western countries, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most diagnosed leukemia types among elderly patients. CLL is described as an indolent lymphoproliferative disorder, characterized by the presence of a high number of small, mature B-cells in the peripheral blood smear, with a particular immunophenotype (CD5, CD19, CD23 positive and CD20 dim positive) and accumulation in the bone marrow and lymphoid tissue (e.g., lymph nodes, spleen). The experience of the past decades showed that CLL is clinically very heterogeneous; while some patients present a chronic clinical evolution, with a prolonged survival, in which the treatment can be delayed, others suffer from a more aggressive form, which must be treated early and is associated with many relapses. This observation led to several genomic studies that have mapped the genetic modifications involved in the disease conformations, including del(13q14), del(11q), or trisomy 12. On the other hand, certain genetic mutations such as del(17p13)–p53, NOTCH1 mutation, or ZAP70/CD38 increased expression are associated with worse clinical outcome. In order to apply the right treatment strategy, the RAI and BINET staging systems should be considered, which are based on clinical and laboratory assessment, on genetic mutations that may influence the resistance to chemotherapy, as well as the patient’s age and comorbidities. The aim of this manuscript was to present the therapeutic approaches of CLL, in order to attempt to answer the following question: to treat, or not to treat? This clinical update focuses on the managements of CLL patients in the 21st century.
Effect of pre-pregnancy body mass index on respiratory-related neonatal outcomes in women undergoing elective cesarean prior to 39 weeks
Authors: Vincent Sophie , Czuzoj-Shulman Nicholas , Spence Andrea R. , Abenhaim Haim A.
Published: March 2018

Objective

To examine the association between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and neonatal respiratory-related outcomes among women who underwent an elective cesarean section (CS).

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s 2009–2013 period linked birth/infant death dataset. Women who had elective CSs at term were categorized by their pre-pregnancy BMI as normal, overweight, obese or morbidly obese. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for baseline characteristics, were calculated using multivariate logistic regression to estimate the neonatal risks in relation to maternal pre-pregnancy BMI.

Results

Our cohort consisted of 717,080 women, of whom 39.9% had normal BMI, 27.0% were overweight, 25.7% obese and 7.4% morbidly obese. A dose-dependent relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and assisted ventilation was seen. Furthermore, infants born to morbidly obese women were at significantly increased risk for assisted ventilation over 6 h (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.15–1.35) and admission to intensive care units (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.13–1.21). Infant mortality rates were 4.2/1000 births for normal weight women, and 5.5/1000 births among the morbidly obese group (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.25–1.64). Risk for adverse outcomes was increased with elective SC performed at earlier gestational age, and this effect was not modified by use of corticosteroids.

Conclusion

Overweight and obese women are at particularly greater risk of adverse newborn outcomes when elective CSs are done before 39 weeks. In these women, elective CSs should be delayed until 39 weeks, as corticosteroid use did not eliminate this association.
Nato Military Interventions In Kosovo, Libya, Afghanistan, And Their Impact On Relations With Russia After The Cold War
Authors: Rogulis Dovydas
Published: March 2018

Abstract This thesis seeks to find out how NATO military interventions in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan have affected relations with Russia. In order to achieve the aim and hypothesis of the study, the critical geopolitical approach is chosen as a theoretical framework. A schematic critical geopolitics conceptualization of Gearóid Ó. Tuathail is used as the method of research. This thesis mostly pays attention to three essential parts of the critical geopolitics: “formal geopolitics” (analyses of think tanks, specialists, etc.), “practical geopolitics” (the decisions of policy makers, official statements, documents, strategies and speeches) and “popular geopolitics” (the discourse of the media and surveys). The combination of these three elements allows determining the certain NATO’s and Russian geopolitical discourses towards crises in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan. With regard to evidences of crises, NATO’s and Russian geopolitical discourses are assessed from very positive, positive, neutral, to negative and very negative. It provides an opportunity to see how both sides have acknowledged these crises and how in long terms NATO’s military interventions in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan have influenced relations with Russia in international order. Moreover, descriptive method, discourse analysis and a comparative approach are used to scrutinize Russian and NATO’s geopolitical discourses towards crises. The analyses of NATO’s and Russian geopolitical discourses show that the hypothesis different NATO and Russian geopolitical discourses towards crises in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan have affected reciprocal relations is correct. The crisis of Kosovo in 2008 marks the end of the Russian flexible policy towards NATO and marks a new beginning of a permanently hostile geopolitical discourse against NATO in Europe. NATO military interventions in Kosovo, Libya and Afghanistan have negatively affected relations with Russia mostly in Europe. Mutual cooperation and diplomatic disputes towards crises in Libya and Afghanistan are minor in comparison with the NATO-Russian relations in the European continent. Consequently, Russia concentrates most of its attention to the geopolitical tradition towards Europe.
Fear Without Rationality: Emotions in Lithuanian Foreign Policy
Authors: Brunalas Benas
Published: March 2018

The paper reflects on the conception of the phenomenon of fear employed in the international relations theory. A critique of understanding of fear as a rational incentive of conventional international relations theories paves the way for the notion of fear as an emotion. It is argued that the behaviour of states in international politics should be explained via their psychological and emotional aspects. The paper proposes to connect the arising of and experiencing fear with collective memory and the imagery entrenched in nations’ subconscious. It also proposes to distinguish the two levels of arising of and experiencing the emotion of fear, namely the attempt to consciously arouse fear and its nonconscious experience. On the first level, mnemonic-emotive agents consciously activate collective emotions via the nation’s collective memory. On the second, once the contents/imagery of the society’s subconscious are activated, the aroused emotions are nonconsciously experienced by the society. The paper offers a case study from the Lithuanian foreign policy: its relations with Russia. Discourse analysis of Lithuania-Russia relations, where President Dalia Grybauskaitė plays an active and important role in discourse formation, suggests that the formation of Lithuanian foreign policy, with regard to Russia, is affected by the emotion of fear.
What is “the Middle East”? American think tank experts on construction of the region
Authors: Bardauskaite Danguole
Published: March 2018

The aim of this research is to answer the question how the American think tank experts on the Middle East and US foreign policy towards the Middle East perceive the region and its construction, with a particular focus on the process of Othering. In order to achieve this aim, the article presents the theoretical explanations of the Othering. In the empirical part, the results of semi-structured interviews with the experts are analyzed and presented. The interviews revealed three angles of how the Middle East is perceived. These angles are the geographical location of the Middle East, the securitization of the Middle East and the universal superiority of the United States. The main finding of the research is that the perception of the Middle East is connected with the self perception or the question of “What is the United States of America?”
Ist Gott in einer sozio-ökonomischen Welt für einen Naturwissenschaftler denkbar?
Authors: Eylert Bernd
Published: March 2018

Dieser Beitrag enthält einige Neuerungen in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung zwischen naturwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis, philosophischem Anspruch und mathematischen Möglichkeiten des Existenzbeweises einer gottähnlichen Entität (Gödel: God-like being). Nach ausführlicher Diskussion des Ausbleibens der Notwendigkeit einer göttlichen Existenz in der Evolution und des parallel dazu entstehenden Bedürfnisses der Soziologien nach Transzendenz werden die Begriffe Materie, Geist und Denken von verschiedenen philosophischen Ansätzen her beleuchtet, um dann in einem mathematischen Konstrukt einen Gottesgedanken zu formulieren. Aufbauend auf dem Gödel’schen Gottesbeweis von 1970, veröffentlicht 1987 und bewiesen 2013, wird eine weitere Eigenschaft dieser Entität, nämlich die Unendlich-Dimensionalität, mit Hilfe der Topologie gezeigt. Der mathematische Beweis ist in den Wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen 2017 der Technischen Hochschule Wildau veröffentlicht worden.
Doketisch, pelagianisch, sarkisch?
Authors: Wirth Mathias
Published: March 2018

Der menschliche Körper ist auffällig mit der Aufforderung zur Veränderung und Überschreitung eines vorgefundenen Zustands verbunden. Die Plastizität des Körpers erlaubt dabei ein gehöriges Quantum Transition. Der Transhumanismus, eine neuere philosophisch-naturwissenschaftliche Bewegung, antwortet entsprechend auf die Grundfrage der Anthropologie mit dem Hinweis auf diese Überschreitungspotentiale und auf die Grundfrage der Ethik mit einem Imperativ zur akzelerierten technischen Verbesserung menschlicher Körper. Auf die Frage nach der Methode antwortet der Transhumanismus unter anderem mit Verweis auf Nanotechnologien und die Vorstellung nanokleiner Werkzeuge, mit deren Hilfe die Materie auf Zellebene kontrolliert werden soll. Zwar ist das Thema Transhumanismus in der theologischen Debatte bisher wenig vorgekommen, allerdings werden einzelne Aspekte transhumaner Visionen diskutiert. Einige aktuelle theologische Stellungnahmen, überwiegend katholischer Provenienz, immunisieren sich gegen ein konstruktives Gespräch mit dem Transhumanismus, in dem Ketzerhüter verteilt und invasive Körpermodifikationen als Neuauflage klassischer Häresien aufgefasst werden. In komparativer Perspektive ist aber ein Zugang innerhalb der Theologie denkbar, der zwar nicht jede invasive Körpermodifikation vorschnell begrüßen, aber auch nicht exorzieren muss. Die Hoffnung auf Fortschritt animiert einen Konnex zwischen Theologie und Transhumanismus, wobei auch erhebliche technische Modifikationen dazu beitragen könnten, menschliche Körper-Wünsche nicht allein auf eine gedachte Zukunft bei Gott zu beziehen.
Pottery Goes Public. Performing Archaeological Research Amid the Audience
Authors: Opgenhaffen Loes , Lami Martina Revello , Kisjes Ivan
Published: March 2018

The project Pottery Goes Public explores the potential of 3D analytical tools to assess to what extent they can provide us with new interpretations and insights into the technological aspects of ancient pottery manufacturing. However, developing innovative 3D imaging techniques for ceramic analysis is not the only aim of the project. Since its inception, Pottery Goes Public has been designed to involve a wider audience not only into the study of ancient potting techniques, but also into the very process of carrying out the research. As advocated by the proponents of a reflexive approach to archaeology, in order to make the past relevant to contemporary society it is imperative for the archaeologist to include all interested parties into every stage of the analysis, from the formulation of the research questions to the dissemination of outputs. In this sense, the deployment of modern 3D technologies proved to be an indisputably powerful medium of communication and interaction with the public at large. Performing live archaeological research with cutting edge tools is a key step towards opening up academic research to multiple actors and actively engaging them with the archaeological interpretative process.

Fachkräftemangel Pflege – Von disorganisierten Interessen zur Gestaltung
Authors: Evans Michaela
Published: March 2018

Die Aufwertung von Pflegearbeit ist durch differenzierte pflege-, professions- und arbeitspolitische Strategiepfade geprägt. Disorganisierte Verhandlungsarenen und Verhandlungsroutinen in den Feldern Versorgung, berufliche Bildung, Arbeitsgestaltung und Einkommen sind die Folge. Es droht eine Schwächung berufsfachlicher Interessen von Pflegenden im Kampf um knappe Ressourcen. Jenseits verbandlicher Profilierung benötigen Beschäftigte in der beruflichen Praxis integrierte Gestaltungskonzepte.

The Nordic Bronze Age (1500–1100 BC): Craft Mobility and Contact Networks in Metal Craft
Authors: Nørgaard Heide Wrobel
Published: March 2018

In einer umfassenden Studie zu den Schmuckbronzen der Nordischen Bronzezeit konnten individuelle Handwerker, deren Werkstätten und die jeweiligen Einflussbereiche, von einer handwerkstechnischen Perspektive aus, bestimmt werden. Das gewonnene Wissen zu regionsspezifischen Techniken, unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten der Handwerker wie auch Indizien handwerkstechnischer Beziehungen führten zu einem bisher nicht dagewesenen Verständnis bronzezeitlichen Metallhandwerks.

Bronzezeitliches Handwerk ist deutlich komplexer organisiert als angenommen, neben verwandtschaftlich organisiertem Handwerk konnten sowohl Handwerksgemeinschaften, als auch autoritär organisierte Werkstätten definiert werden. Das Miteinbeziehen von Merkmalen ungelernter wie professioneller Arbeit, Anzeichen von fachübergreifendem Wissenstransfer und innovativem Arbeiten erlaubten es ein Modell zu erstellen, mit dem die Organisation bronzezeitlichen Handwerks in Nordeuropa visualisiert werden kann. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Artikels liegt auf der Darstellung des Wissensaustausches zwischen den einzelnen definierten Werkstätten im Raum der Nordischen Bronzezeit. Hierzu werden spezifische Spuren regionaler Technologien und Dekorelemente miteinander verglichen. Neben den Charakteristika der einzelnen Werkstätten können so auch die Beziehungen zu anderen Werkstätten dargestellt, wie auch kulturell-soziale Handlungen interpretiert werden. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden Vergleiche aus der Ethnoarchäologie und der klassischen Archäologie herangezogen, um speziell für die Nordische Bronzezeit die Möglichkeit wandernder Handwerker zu diskutieren.

Authors: Stępień Agnieszka , Guzek Katarzyna , Czubak Jarosław , Surowińska Joanna , Stępowska Jolanta , Kiebzak Wojciech
Published: March 2018

Introduction: Improper hip joint development may lead to numerous unfavourable changes in the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this research was to determine how often adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and their healthy counterparts experienced anomalies of the hip in their infancy period and to examine the correlation between the occurrence of hip anomalies and idiopathic scoliosis. Material and methods: The research was conducted in medical centres as well as in schools. The parents of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and parents of healthy adolescents completed a questionnaire on the basis of their child’s development history included in the medical records book and other medical documentation. Results: 533 questionnaires were taken into consideration, included 145 questionnaires completed by parents of adolescents with scoliosis (121 girls - 13.8 years, SD 1.9; 24 boys - 12.9 years, SD 2.5) and 388 questionnaires from the group of adolescents without scoliosis (194 girls - 13.5 years, SD 2.0; 194 boys - 13.4 years, SD 2.1). No significant differences were noted in the incidence of hip anomalies between the groups of girls and boys with and without scoliosis, no correlations between anomalies of the hip and scoliosis were found (girls χ2=0.840; Cramer V=0.052; p=0.36; boys χ2=1.205; Cramer V=0.074; p=0.27). Conclusions: Hip anomalies such as hip dysplasia, movement asymmetry or range of motion limitations diagnosed in the infancy period did not correlate with idiopathic scoliosis. Further research aimed at a separate analysis of the influence of hip dysplasia on the occurrence of idiopathic scoliosis should be carried out.

Published: March 2018

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess load surface with regard to muscle tone distribution of premature infants compared to full-term infants. Material and methods: Twenty-four infants aged 3-6 months (adjusted age) were examined, including 12 premature infants (born before 37 weeks) and 12 full-term infants. The study was carried out at the Children’s Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw in the period from January to June 2016. The study involved interviews with the infants’ parents and examinations of infants in a supine and prone position performed on PodoBaby digital podoscope. Support surface, i.e. the loading on the left and right side of the body and the length of trunk sides were analysed. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of Statistica v.12 software and Student’s t-test. Results: No significant differences between premature infants and full-term infants regarding the loading on the right side measured in a supine position were revealed (analogous lack of differences was noted on the left side and in a prone position). In a prone position, the correlation between support surface and the length of trunk sides was noted, i.e. the loaded side of the trunk was lengthened, while the unloaded side was shortened. Conclusions: Considerable asymmetry of the loads of trunk sides was noted in premature infants, while in the case of full-term infants, the values of loads were close to symmetry. An examination with the use of PodoBaby podoscope may be applied in early diagnostics in pediatric rehabilitation.
Incorporation of CdTe Nanocrystals into Metal Oxide Matrices Towards Inorganic Nanocomposite Materials
Authors: Frolova Elena , Otto Tobias , Gaponik Nikolai , Lesnyak Vladimir
Published: March 2018

In this work we present a technique of incorporation of semiconductor CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) into metal oxide matrices prepared by inorganic sol-gel method. As the matrices, we chose alumina and aluminum tin oxide, which are optically transparent in the visible region. Among them the first is electrically insulating, while the second is conductive and thus can be used in optoelectronic devices. We found optimal synthetic parameters allowing us to maintain optical properties of the NCs in both matrices even after heating up to 150°C in air. Therefore, in our approach we overcame a common problem of degradation of the optical properties of semiconductor NCs in oxide matrices as a result of the incorporation and subsequent interaction with the matrix. The resulting materials were characterized in detail from the point of view of their optical and structural properties. Based on the results obtained, we suggest the formation mechanism of these materials. Semiconductor NCs embedded in robust and optically transparent metal oxides offer promising applications in optical switching, optical filtering, waveguides, light emitting diodes, and solar concentrators.
Nouvelles perspectives sur la réception de la littérature castillane en français à la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Delsaux Olivier
Published: March 2018

This paper aims to get a better insight into the material, literary and historical context surrounding two important, but neglected or unknown, evidences of the dissemination of Castillan literature in the French literature at the end of the Middle Ages. The French translations of Diego de Valera’s Crónica abreviada de España o Valeriana, on the one part, and of Pero López de Ayala’s Crónicas, on the other part, were both achieved between 1504–1506 for the last « Duke of Burgundy » Philip the Fair. Through the investigation of the surviving manuscripts, of the paratext and of the content of these two French texts, will be argued that Vasco de Lucena or Fernando de Lucena are two ideal candidates for their attribution. Moreover, the paper will offer a new perspective on a major evidence of the History of the Castillan language : the Epistola latina et hispanica.
Estudio de los sufijos españoles que denotan ‘cría’
Authors: García-Page Mario
Published: March 2018

The present study focusses on the Spanish suffixes denoting ‘baby animal’ (‑ato, ‑ezno, ‑ino, ‑ón, ‑ucho, etc.), although it also takes into account the simple substantives belonging to the same lexical field (e.g. potro ‘colt’). Since there are no previous studies which either enumerate or analyse suffixes on this kind, our initial goal is to identify them. In order to do so, we have drawn on the Diccionario de la lengua española (2014), which may be considered the linguistic work containing the greatest number of zoonyms. Then, once the corpus has been established, we describe the characteristics of some suffixes: productivity rate, patterns of formation, receptive bases of the suffixes, nouns which two or three alternative suffixes, relations of synonymy, and potential pragmatic and non-linguistic causes of the lexical diversity and morphological particularities of suffixes.
Una precisazione a proposito della legge Tobler Mussafia e dei pronomi clitici soggetto
Authors: Colombo Michele
Published: March 2018

Some influential studies about medieval northern Italian dialects argue that if a subject pronoun occupies the first position in a sentence it should not be regarded as clitic, because of the Tobler Mussafia law. However, evidence suggests that Tobler Mussafia law did not apply to subject clitic pronouns, but only to object ones. It is therefore worth inquiring when a subject pronoun may be seen as clitic in medieval northern Italian dialects: four criteria are set forth.

Published: March 2018

Ao longo das últimas duas décadas, rápidas mudanças climáticas têm afetado o Ártico, onde a diminuição da cobertura de gelo marinho no seu oceano abriu novas rotas marítimas e expõe recursos minerais até então inexplorados, transformando as políticas dos países do extremo norte do planeta para com meio ambiente e com o potencial de criar novas tensões entre os países com interesse na região. Assim, novas políticas foram criadas para atender essa nova realidade ambiental e política, seguindo estratégias que visam uma melhor relação com os vizinhos e, ao mesmo tempo, propondo diretrizes para exploração de recursos de maneira menos danosa ao meio ambiente, garantindo também a integração dos povos indígenas nas políticas regionais. Esse artigo propõe-se a examinar essas políticas, para compreender como os países da região estão se preparando para esses novos desafios e assim traçar o novo cenário geopolítico da região.ABSTRACTOver the past two decades, rapid climate changes have affected the Arctic, where the decrease in sea ice coverage in its ocean opened up new shipping routes and exposed hitherto unexplored mineral resources, transforming the environmental policies of the far north countries and it has the potential of creating new tensions among countries with interests in the region. Thus, new policies were created to meet the new environmental and political reality, following strategies to better relations with neighbors and at the same time, proposing guidelines for the exploitation of less harmful resources to the environment, and also ensuring the integration of indigenous people in regional policies. This article proposes to examine these policies, helping understand how the region's countries are gearing up to these new challenges and thus trace a new geo-political scenario of the regionKeywords: Climate change, geopolitics, Arctic
