Antropologia e Psicanálise
Authors: Antonio Maria Carolina A. , Mendes Tássia N. Eid
Published: March 2021

Christian Dunker é Psicanalista Clínico e Professor Livre Docente do Departamento de Psicologia Clinica do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade Estadual de São Paulo – USP, com pós-doutorado na Universidade Metropolitana de Manchester. É Analista Membro de Escola (AME) da Escola de Psicanálise dos Fóruns do Campo Lacaniano, Membro da Associação Universitária de Pesquisa em Psicopatologia Fundamental, coordena o projeto de pesquisa “Patologias do Social: críticas da razão diagnóstica em psicanálise” e é coordenador - junto ao professor Dr. Vladmir Safatle do Departamento de Filosofia da USP - do LATESFIP – Laboratório de Filosofia,  Teoria Social e Psicanálise da USP. É autor, entre outros livros, de Estrutura e Constituição da Clínica Psicanalítica. Uma arqueologia das práticas de cura, psicoterapia e tratamento (Editora AnnaBlume, 2011), Zizek Critico - Política e Psicanálise (Editora Hacker, 2005), O Cálculo Neurótico do Gozo (Editora Escuta, 2002). Estabelece diálogo com os chamados “filósofos da nova esquerda”, a saber, Slavoj Zizek e Alain Badiou, que versam sobre a relação entre psicanálise lacaniana e teoria crítica do social, e atualmente servem de referência a redes de movimentos sociais de esquerda espalhados pelo mundo. Em recente artigo publicado na revista Tempo Social, “Mal-estar, sofrimento e sintoma: releitura da diagnóstica lacaniana a partir do perspectivismo animista” 1, o autor apresenta de forma original e instigante uma homologia entre a diagnóstica psicanalítica orientada pelos trabalhos do psicanalista francês Jacques Lacan e a noção de perspectivismo ameríndio desenvolvida pelo antropólogo Viveiros de Castro. Foi acerca desta leitura perspectivista da psicopatologia psicanalítica e sobre a antiga, porém tímida, relação entre Antropologia e Psicanálise que se seguiu esta conversa com o autor.
Reciprocidade em deslize
Authors: Olic Maurício Bacic
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo, por um lado, analisar os modos pelos quais os skatistas, a partir de espaços destinados exclusivamente a sua prática, passam a construir formas mais densas de sociabilidade e de propriedade, entendidas pela categorianativa de localismo. Por outro lado, será observado como que as localidades estão conectadas por uma espécie de socialidade skatista que permite aos seus praticantes se espraiarem por diversas pistas e picos da cidade. Para isso, o artigo valeu-se de um trabalho de cunho etnográfico tendo a skatepark do Centro Educacional Unificado do Butantã – situada na região oeste da cidade de São Paulo -, como espaço privilegiado para investigação das formas de localismo e reciprocidade que aponta para um jogo relacional de sociabilidade e conflito envolvendo os diferentes atores que atravessam o espaço da pista de skate.
Revolução dos antidepressivos e da medida
Authors: Lima Clarissa Martins , Sartori Lecy , Tselouiko Stéphanie
Published: March 2021

Os historiadores da psiquiatria são unânimes em eleger 1952 como um ano de inflexão: a entrada no mercado do “primeiro” neuroléptico (a clorpromazina) inaugura a era da psicofarmacologia. Mas uma questão fica a ser debatida: por que se trata de um evento? Por que não se trata, apenas, da entrada no mercado de “mais uma” substância farmacológica?
Antropologia dos medicamentos
Authors: Castro Rosana
Published: March 2021

A antropologia é ainda relativamente carente de sistematizações de estratégias teórico-metodológicas para estudo dos medicamentos modernos em suas dimensões culturais, simbólica, material e sociotécnica. Este trabalho visa contribuir com uma revisão crítica, comparação e cotejamento de diferentes investigações e teorizações sobre esses objetos. A partir de uma revisão preliminar da literatura antropológica sobre o assunto, passaremos em revista propostas de abordagem que lançam luzes para uma vertente de estudos especificamente neles centrada, como por exemplo a biografia, o nexo, a técnica e a econômica dos medicamentos. Salientam-se as estratégias de abordagem ao tema, as referências teóricas acionadas e as análises desenvolvidas por essas distintas abordagens, sistematizando-as de modo a explicitar o estatuto que os medicamentos recebem em cada uma delas e, nesse passo, analisar em que medida tal opção ilumina novas perspectivas para problemas antropológicos mais amplos.
Parecidos, o suficiente
Authors: Segata Jean
Published: March 2021

A humanização dos animais, especialmente aqueles de estimação, é tema corrente em nossos dias. Ela é motivo de reportagens, debates envolvendo economistas, psicólogos, juristas, médicos, religiosos, filósofos ou antropólogos, como também o é para a expansão de mercados, para investimentos políticos ou para inspiração artística. Mas como é produzida a humanidade desses animais? Quando ou até onde eles são humanos? O objetivo dessa trabalho é o de fazer aparecer essas negociações e limites, sustentando que o que tratamos por humanização dos animais não se nutre simplesmente da equivalência de elementos culturais - como os nomes humanos, as roupas, os cuidados, o fato de viverem nos mesmos lares ou de motivarem discussões sobre alguns direitos e moralidades. Igualmente, ela se nutre daqueles elementos que imputamos ao domínio da natureza, como alguns instintos que precisam ser modulados ou uma biologia equivalente que permite o diagnóstico de problemas orgânicos e a sua medicalização. Para tanto, as reflexões que aqui se apresenta, resultam de uma etnografia a partir de uma pet shop com clínica veterinária, que foi o centro de meu trabalho de campo em minha pesquisa de doutorado. No entanto, o foco dado aqui repousa nos diagnósticos de depressão canina e nos tratamentos a base de psicotrópicos, incluindo-se o reconhecimento de uma subjetividade dos animais na aparente da apatia, tristeza ou a partir de certos comportamentos, além do que se pode chamar de consumo de ciência, mas especificamente, pela conjugação e tradução de elementos da ciência positivada e da psicanálise, com os conhecimentos ditos comuns sobre a depressão ou ansiedade.

Este texto presenta algunas notas sobre la situación actual de las luchas indígenas bolivianas, intentando trazar algunos puentes con otras luchas indígenas de la región, en particular la de los pueblos minoritarios brasileros. Daremos continuidad, así, a una  conversación iniciada en la Universidade Federal de São Carlos (PPGAS), diciembre 2011, cuando contrastamos experiencias etnográficas y políticas andinas con las provenientes de la realidad Guaraní del Estado brasilero de Mato Grosso do Sul, presentadas por los investigadores que también publican aquí sus aportes.
Constituindo carreira e coleções etnográficas
Authors: Tambascia Cristiano Key
Published: March 2021

Este artigo procura contribuir para a análise da obra de Curt Nimuendaju, em especial acerca do colecionismo praticado pelo etnógrafo, no contexto de uma recente revalorização de seu lugar na história da antropologia brasileira. Procurar-se-á relacionar os desafios enfrentados por Nimuendaju para seu estabelecimento no campo acadêmico e a importância do estudo da cultura material, ao tomar sua experiência como forma de iluminar nossas próprias histórias de “criação e destruição” de renome na disciplina. Tal análise será possível com a realização de um contraponto com a trajetória de outro antropólogo preocupado com o trabalho de colecionismo, William Fagg.
IPHAN e a expansão da concepção de patrimônio cultural e reconhecimento da memória étnica
Authors: Sorensen Sheiva
Published: March 2021

Partindo do pressuposto de que o reconhecimento dos patrimônios culturais é um campo de disputas políticas, uma vez que, em muitos casos carregam consigo a representatividade de uma parcela especifica da população, o presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar um estudo acerca da expansão da concepção de patrimônio cultural no Brasil, empreendo um recorte analítico que privilegia a reconstituição histórica. Para tanto, foram escolhidos dois momentos específicos, tomados como representantes do lento processo de reconhecimento da cultura material e/ou imaterial de outros grupos, que não o hegemônico na sociedade brasileira. O primeiro momento nos remete ao tombamento do terreiro de candomblé da Casa Branca do Engenho Velho, localizado na cidade de Salvador- BA, em 1984, com homologação em 1986. O segundo momento se refere à instituição do Decreto-Lei No 3.551-2000 em 4 de agosto de 2000, que inovou ao propor a identificação sistemática e abrangente dos “bens culturais de natureza imaterial.
caminho da espada
Authors: Lourenção Gil Vicente
Published: March 2021

O plano deste ensaio é efetuar uma discussão levando em consideração a analítica centrada no triângulo indivíduo-subjetividade-pessoa a partir de minha etnografia junto a praticantes de esgrima japonesa. A discussão não será limitada a esse triângulo e tenta dialogar com a noção de sujeito e devir, temática presente na antropologia francesa. Para tanto, busco traçar na primeira parte um esboço de uma “cosmologia” nativa que tem a capacidade servir de síntese sobre a experiência do Kendo. Tomo três eixos de constituição de um discurso sobre essa experiência, apontados pela etnografia: o espírito, a espada e o corpo – Ki, Ken e Tai –, que são os conceitos através dos quais as relações são estabelecidas e que de•inem em princípio do foco do Kendo. Os outros conceitos são como que “modificadores” ou moduladores dessa situação triangular constitutiva. Na segunda parte efetuarei uma leitura teórica em caráter de conclusão.

Published: March 2021

Stephen Hugh-Jones é um dos mais interessantes e criativos antropólogos da sua geração. É também um dos nomes mais importantes da etnologia americanista e referência obrigatória quando se fala nos povos indígenas do alto Rio Negro, de quem é profundo conhecedor, após quase 50 anos de pesquisas etnográ•icas. Nascido a 20 de setembro de 1945 em Poole, cidade portuária no litoral sul da Inglaterra, ainda jovem descobriu a vocação inelutável que o conduziria à carreira em antropologia: o desejo de conhecer, estudar e conviver com os índios da América do Sul. Formou-se pelo King’s College de Cambridge, onde posteriormente veio a se tornar professor e fellow. Aluno de Edmund Leach, Stephen Hugh-Jones foi um dos primeiros antropólogos britânicos a estudar populações ameríndias, somando-se a David Maybury-Lewis e Peter Rivière, que lhe antecederam de pouco, e Christine Hugh-Jones, sua mulher e companheira inseparável de aventuras existenciais e intelectuais.

Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE: To analyze factors associated with perceived social support in older people with cancer. METHODOLOGY: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted with a convenience sample of 134 older people seen at a specialist cancer treatment unit in a hospital located in a municipal district in the South of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Data collection was conducted by interview and analysis of medical records. Social support was analyzed using the Medical Outcomes Study social support scale. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze differences between means. Linear regression was used for analysis of associations. RESULTS: The majority of the sample of older people with cancer analyzed were male, aged from 60 to 74 years, and reported high mean scores for material support; affective support; positive social interaction; and emotional/informational support. Factors with positive associations with social support were: not living alone; income one to three times the minimum wage; having a partner; rating health as good/very good; and presence of comorbidity. Factors with negative associations were: poor/very poor perceived income and polypharmacy use. CONCLUSIONS: This sample of older people reported high mean scores for material support; affective support; positive social interaction; and emotional/informational support. Factors associated with perceived social support were: living arrangements; family income; perceived sufficiency of income; marital status; health self-assessment; comorbidity; and polypharmacy.

Published: March 2021

Diante da dificuldade de fornecer acesso adequado ao esgotamento sanitário em regiões não atendidas por sistemas centralizados, a adoção de sistemas descentralizados mostra-se relevante para a superação do déficit. Sendo assim, buscou-se nesse estudo analisar os aspectos conceituais relativos à utilização de sistemas descentralizados no país e discutir questões relacionadas à gestão desses sistemas à luz do marco legal e institucional da área de saneamento. Para tanto, inicialmente, definiram-se os contextos nos quais os sistemas descentralizados são mais utilizados, a partir de revisão da literatura. Posteriormente, foram avaliadas alternativas de tratamento utilizadas no saneamento descentralizado. Nesse ponto, foram analisados dados de estações de tratamento de esgotos (ETEs) em operação no país, disponibilizados pela Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA). Por fim, foi realizada uma análise documental do marco legal e institucional que regulamenta o saneamento brasileiro e suas interfaces com a gestão descentralizada de esgotos. Verificou-se que, no Brasil, as tecnologias descentralizadas mais utilizadas são os reatores UASB e tanques sépticos seguidos por filtros anaeróbios (TS+FAN). No entanto, a utilização dessas tecnologias, bem como de outras soluções descentralizadas carece de regulamentação federal que defina a responsabilidade pela gestão dos sistemas. A nível estadual, apenas dois estados brasileiros possuem regulamentações que definem tal responsabilidade. Sobre os TS+FAN, três estados, localizados no Sudeste e Sul do país, possuem leis que normatizam a utilização dessas tecnologias na ausência de redes públicas de coleta. A discussão aponta que para superar a precariedade e ausência de acesso ao esgotamento sanitário é necessário empreender esforços na ampliação do atendimento dos serviços, sobretudo em áreas rurais, periurbanas e de difícil acesso ao sistema centralizado. Neste contexto, a combinação entre sistemas centralizados e descentralizados pode ser uma solução adequada para superação do déficit em esgotamento sanitário.
Development of a vibrationless sorting system
Authors: Ugurluay Selcuk , Akcali Ibrahim Deniz
Published: March 2021

Aim of study: Size classification is essential in many industrial processes. Most classical sorting systems use vibrations as a means of classification function. In this study, a vibration-free sorting system called helical cylindrical screen has been developed against the disadvantages of vibrating systems and proposed to be used in the sorting of crop seeds.Area of study: Adana City, Turkey.Material and methods: The movement of the seed mass on the screen surface was formulated and the mass movement along the circular-helical paths was analytically expressed, leading to some operational parameters for evaluation in the screen design. By combining the mass movement parameters with effective separation conditions, an algorithm was obtained against the desired mass flow rate to determine the appropriate values of the design parameters. Experiments were performed on the machine, which was manufactured to sort peanut seeds into two different sizes, small and large.Main results: The results obtained in the experiments (separation efficiency, mass flow rate, effect of grain size on separation efficiency and equilibrium angle) were compared with the theoretical ones. The separation efficiency of the machine (99% and above) was quite good and is not affected at all by the small size ratio contained in the mixtures. The limitations of the theoretical velocities (axis and tangent) of a seed moving on the cylindrical sieve were found to be consistent with those obtained experimentally.Research highlights: The helical cylindrical sieve can be used for other particulate agricultural products with smooth surfaces such as soybeans, kidney beans, peas, etc.

Participants’ perspectives of a fall prevention exercise program in older Arab Americans: A focus group study
Authors: Yao Lan , Kridli Suha A. , Kishek Juliana L.
Published: March 2021

Background and objective: Physical exercise is an important intervention to maintain health, reduce falls and improve quality-of-life outcomes in older adults. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries, and the use of Tai Chi exercise is well-supported by the general older population. Currently, there is little evidence to support the acceptance of Tai Chi by Arab Americans who have no cultural ties to Tai Chi. It is important to understand the perspective of participants in order to gain insight into the attitudes and opinions of the target group.  Purpose: To explore participants' perspectives in a small group setting about the implementation of a culturally sensitive Tai Chi fall prevention group exercise program.Methods: Participants were eight older Arab American women who completed a 12-week Tai Chi fall prevention exercise program at a non-for-profit Arab community center. A semi-structured interview and focus group study was conducted with the participants and was audiotaped. The audio recordings were translated into English, transcribed, and analyzed for emergent themes.Results: Participants’ views of the program were positive. The key elements that contributed to the positive outcomes reported by participants were the characteristics of Tai Chi, the Tai Chi instructor, and the use of bilingual staff as a facilitator. The data showed three themes of self-reported benefits, including prevention awareness, physical benefits and mental health benefits, and two program-related factors: program barriers and promoters.Conclusions: Findings indicated that the Tai Chi program implemented in a culturally sensitive manner can be accepted by older Arab American women. Collaborating with a community-based organization and using bilingual staff from the same culture are key factors to promote the success of the program.

Cassava is a staple food and an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in Rwanda. However, the nature and chemical composition of cassava roots limit its proper use as food due to its toxicity and short shelf life. The cyanogenic glucosides found in the cassava roots are responsible for the toxicity. The aim of the study was to characterize the chemical profile and consumer acceptability of paste from eight cassava varieties processed into flour using four processing methods. The cassava samples were harvested from trials conducted at Rubona Station of Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board. Four processing methods were used, namely, Cassava grated fermented, Cassava roots fermented, Cassava grated no fermented and Cassava roots no fermented. Pressing was done before drying the products to obtain the flour. At each stage of processing, the samples were prepared for laboratory analysis of dry mater, titratable acidity, cyanhydric acid and crude fiber by Rwanda Standards Board laboratory. Cassava flour was made into paste and sensory evaluation was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the eight cassava varieties. The sensory attributes for the Ugali tested was significantly different (P<0.05). The method of grating before fermentation gave the most tasty Ugali than cassava root fermented. The more prefered varieties were GAHENE/2 and SEMAK 150/452 followed by BULK 13, MH95/0091 and NASE 14. The chemical analysis done for the 8 cassava varieties flour from the 4 processing methods exhibited the acceptable acidity and the NASE 14, Gahene/2 and Bulk 13 had the lowest cyanide hydrogen.
Influence of fibre loading and surface
treatment on the impact strength
of coir polyester composites
Authors: Karthikeyan S.
Published: March 2021

Purpose: In this work, coir fibre with varying fibre content was selected as reinforcements
to prepare polymer-based matrices and the problem of reduced fibre-matrix interfacial bond
strength has been diluted by chemical treatment of coir fibres with alkali solution.
Design/methodology/approach: The effect of fibre loading, solution concentration
and soaking time on the impact strength of the composites were analyzed using statistical
techniques. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach was used to model and
optimize the impact properties of coir-polyester composites.
Findings: The impact strength of coir fibre reinforced polyester composite depends mainly
on the fabrication parameters such as fibre-polyester content, soaking time, concentration
of soaking agent and adhesive interaction between the fibre and reinforcement.
Research limitations/implications: The mechanical properties of any coir polyester
composite depend on the nature bonding between the fibre and reinforcement. The presence
of cellulose, lignin on the periphery of any natural fibre reduces the bonding strength of the
composite. This limitation is overcome by fibre treatment over sodium hydroxide to have
better impact properties.
Practical implications: Now days, natural fibre reinforced composites are capable of
replacing automotive parts, subjected to static loads such as engine Guard, light doom,
name plate, tool box and front panels etc. These materials can withstand any static load due
to its higher strength to weight ratios.
Originality/value: The effect of fibre loading, solution concentration and soaking time on
the impact strength of the composites were analyzed using statistical techniques. Response
Surface Methodology (RSM) approach was used to model and optimize the impact
properties of coir-polyester composites. The impact strength of NaOH impregnated coir fibre
reinforced polyester composites was evaluated.

Authors: Das Theerthankar
Published: March 2021

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium accountable for causing life-threatening infections in humans. According to the World Health Organization, P. aeruginosa classified as a critical pathogen. Specifically, P. aeruginosa in its colonized or biofilm state presents a major infection threat to immunocompromised (HIV) patients, Cystic fibrosis, burns, wounds and surgery associated infection. It is also a common pathogen responsible for causing hospital acquired/nosocomial infection and Urinary tract infections. P. aeruginosa biofilm is made up of bacterial self-synthesized biomolecules includes extracellular DNA, polysaccharides, proteins, RNA, siderophores and metabolites such as pyocyanin. This chapter will elaborate the manifold functions of P. aeruginosa secreted biomolecules in establishing and stabilizing biofilms, triggering virulence and pathogenicity in host, and resisting antibiotics and antibacterial agents.
Sto tváří, sto příběhů

Published: March 2021

The book commemorating the centenary of the establishment of the Faculty of Arts is also a contribution to the anniversary of the whole Masaryk University. Its aim is to walk through the history of the faculty by means of a biographical method, i.e., using short biographies that introduce representative, prominent or interesting personalities whose fates and work were connected with the faculty. There was certainly no lack of biographical views in the research of the faculty history, still, such a complex set of biograms has not been collected so far. And the publication offers much more: the authors use a large set of biographical data to interpret the history of the faculty from the perspective of alternating academic generations and contemplate the formative generation experience as well as the phenomena that affected the lives of academics and students over the past 100 years. These include, as a matter of fact, both positive and negative phenomena, therefore, the publication is not just an overview of deserving personalities, respected scientists and charismatic teachers, but it also openly discusses the lives of controversial scholars. Thus, the collection of biograms provides a credible testimony to the one-hundred-year work of the faculty, continually blending studies, science and politics.
Pechora scrolls: St. Augustine’s miracle of the revelation of the Elder
Authors: Volkova Tatiana F. , Zabrodina Daria A.
Published: March 2021

The Ust-Tsilemsky region of the Komi Republic is known for its collection of medieval handwritten books and manuscripts. These collections found in the area of the Lower Pechora River contain a rich variety of Old Believers’ written documents of different genres. The au­thors explore one of these documents — St. Augustine’s Miracle of the Revelation of the El­der, which exists in two different Pechora documents. One of them is a hagiographic text cre­ated by the famous Ust-Tsilma scribe and editor of Old Russian texts Myandin, who lived in the second half of the 19th century. The Miracle is a part of the Book of St. Augustine and has survived in only a few copies. It is noteworthy that Myandin’s works have not been previous­ly studied. Employing textual analysis, the authors came to the conclusion which of the two Myadlin’s texts is closer to the earliest surviving scroll of the Miracle (Science Library of Moscow State University, the collection of manuscripts of the Old Believers of Bessarabia and Belaya Krinitsa, No. 2194, fol. 109—115 ob). This is a text contained in the Tsvetnik, com­piled by Myandin. The study showed that the other copy is a later work of the scribe on the storyline of The Miracle, which involved the shortening of the text, the introduction of new narrative details, naming the main character, and providing a more detailed description of his appearance. The authors argue that, at a later stage of mastering the plot of the Miracle, My­andin created his own version of the events described. He employed his own vocabulary satu­rating the plot with details, which were missing in the first version. He cleared the text of unnecessary motives that distract the reader from the main idea of the story: holiness does not depend on rank or status; it can also be granted to a humble, illiterate person who is capable of performing miracles.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Recent studies have found that patients with periodontitis have greater risk of incurring fatal cardiovascular disease than patients without periodontitis. Emerging research has identified inflammation caused by periodontitis as significantly increasing the risk for ACS. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate a periodontal status in the patients with ACS, and to assess the association of different periodontal parameters with ACS. Material and methods: In the first group, patients both with ACS and periodontitis were enrolled as cases. Patients were examined 3 days after ischemia. The second group consisted of patients who had only periodontitis. The control group consisted of healthy individuals. Periodontal parameters were measured and matched on the basis of demographic characteristics and assessed between the groups. The severity of periodontitis in both cases was analyzed. Results: Analysis of the periodontal parameters showed that median scores were higher in patients in the first and the second group compared to the third control group but significantly higher in group with ACS. Levels of inflammatory markers were highest in the first group, compared to the second group and the control group. Periodontal pathogens were more strongly present in patients with ACS than in the group with periodontitis, indicating that it was a serious illness in these patients. Conclusion: This study supports an association between periodontitis and ACS. Severe periodontitis is present in this patients indicating that periodontitis can further act on the development of ACS.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Developmental disturbances of teeth at the stage of morpho-differentiation have been related to abnormalities associated with changes in the tooth shape and size. Dens evaginatus and dens invaginatus are the developmental variations of the human dentition. Dens evaginatus, a rare anomaly characterized by the presence of a tubercle on the occlusal surface of teeth is seen to occur due to abnormal proliferation and folding of the inner enamel epithelium and part of the dental papilla into the stellate reticulum of the enamel organ; whereas, dens invaginatus is seen to occur due to infolding of the enamel and dentine into the pulp cavity and sometimes extending to the root apex. Case report: We report cases with bilateral dens evaginatus in mandibular second premolars and dens invaginatus in maxillary lateral incisor. Conclusion: Such developmental anomalies of teeth deserve clinical importance, as high chances of early pulpal pathosis.

Globalization is a process that has significantly increased the level of competition, but also the interdependence of a large number of participants in the economy. In this regard, the task of the management structure of each company is to regularly analyze and evaluate the financial position. On this basis, it is possible to implement in a timely manner certain measures that contribute to the improvement of the financial position, and thus the further survival and development of the enterprise. This paper deals with the analysis of the financial position of the company in the conditions of globalization using the most important indicators: financial equilibrium, debt, liquidity, solvency, reproductive capacity and maintaining the real value of capital. The main objective of the research is to emphasize the importance of analyzing the financial position of the company in the conditions of globalization, as well as the usefulness of the information obtained by the analysis.
Competency framework as an instrument of support to the continued professional development of pharmacists
Authors: Stojkov Svetlana , Krajnović Dušanka
Published: March 2021

Objective. Continued Professional Development (CPD) is one of the most significant precursors to increased competency. Appropriate instruments and support are required for its implementation. This paper demonstrates the attitudes held by pharmacists on the impact of the competency framework on CPD, its acceptance among Serbian pharmacists and potential future application. Furthermore, the motivational impact of the competency framework on CPD as well as the relationship between certain demographic indicators and motivators of CPD are provided. Method. Research on the cross-sectional method throughout 2015-16 included pharmacists working in publicly-owned pharmacies. The survey was anonymous and voluntary. The questionnaires generated for this research contain demographic data on those surveyed and open-ended questions with multiple choice answers and applied a Likert-type scale. Statistical analysis was conducted by applying Microsoft Office 2003 and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Results. Among the respondents, the female gender dominated, respondents who had not completed a speciality within their respective field, with an average age of 42 years, and an average of approx. 15 years of service. 26.12% of the respondents had prior experience with the competency framework. Most respondents were of the opinion that these instruments motivated them to actively manage their own PD, to set concrete PD objectives and to review their own competency. Over half intend to apply competency frameworks in future. The statistical Chi-square test indicates it is not possible to determine with certainty that there are differences in terms of motivation in managing PD and in PD goal setting between the groups of variables. Conclusion. The research indicates a positive attitude/opinion of pharmacists towards the competency framework and in recognising these instruments as supportive to CPD.

Published: March 2021

With the development of modern perinatal medicine and medical technology, the survival rate of premature infants has increased. However, premature birth is a risk factor for developmental delays. This paper evaluates the available literature to look at dominant developmental domains that reflect dysfunction of premature infants. Studies in which the subject of the study was to monitor the development of premature infants confirmed a lag in motor and cognitive development, and their interrelation. These results can be explained by: the early negative and unpleasant sensory experiences to which the immature nervous system was exposed ahead of time and the lack of adequate interaction of biological and environmental factors. Even after the prematurity has stabilized and with environmental stimuli that accelerate overall biological processes, many developments have been delayed. The first domain to identify developmental delays in premature infants is motor development. Studies show that babies born before 32 gestational weeks very often show persistent delays in motor development (gross and fine motor skills, perceptual-motor skills). Another domain that identifies developmental delays in premature infants is cognitive development. Empirical studies reveal that children under 26 weeks of gestational maturity show deficits or developmental delays in maintaining attention during the toddler period. Also, in these children, during the adolescence period, lower capacities of active and passive visual-spatial working memory were observed, which influences the acquisition of knowledge in mathematics, as well as the general achievement in school.

The paper examines the BOT (build-operate-transfer) projects as a viable model of public-private partnership. Its purpose is to reveal their conceptual framework, evolution, modern interpretations and implementation benefits. In view of the current economic realities of global financial deficit there are budget constraints at all levels of government in every country. The BOT projects can be considered as an alternative strategy for solving the financial and social problems of each government. They are a popular instrument of modernizing the transport infrastructure, energy sector, telecommunications, water supply, preserving of environment, etc.

Authors: Stamenović Kristina
Published: March 2021

Entrepreneurs can be defined as the key actuator of economic growth and an essential factor for societal prosperity. Entrepreneurship is promoted as a career option among young people, and the intention to become entrepreneurs can be influenced by psychological, socio-demographic, and educational factors. This paper examines the impact of personality traits, family background, and international education mobility on students' entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire was used in the study as the research instrument. Results of the quantitative analysis show a significant impact of selected factors on entrepreneurship intentions.
The importance of the interface in the management of acute respiratory failure
Authors: Vojnović Jelena , Hromiš Sanja
Published: March 2021

Non-invasive ventilation is a form of mechanical ventilatory support that doesn't require endotracheal intubation of the patient. The interface (mask) is a connection between the device and the patient that allows the set pressure gradient supplied by the ventilator to be transmitted to the airways. Today, there are different types of interfaces, which differ in shape, size, mechanical properties, and comfort. Despite the wide of different mask, common reasons for poor patient adaptation to NIV are related to side effects of the interface such as air loss, skin damage, and mask discomfort. We can prevent these side effects with a basic knowledge of the principles of handling and selecting the optimal interface.
The incidence of atrial fibrillation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Authors: Jandrić-Kočič Marijana
Published: March 2021

Goal: Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a metabolic syndrome with systemic disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, fat and protein due to the absolute or relative lack of biologically active insulin. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by high frequency excitation of atria, consequent asynchronous atrial contraction, and irregular ventricular excitation. Diabetes predisposes fibrillation through metabolic abnormalities, structural, electrical, electromechanical, and autonomic remodeling of atrias. The study had to examine the incidence of atrial fibrillation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to investigate the effect of continuous anti-diabetic therapy on the frequency of atrial fibrillation. Materials and methods: The test was conducted from 01. 10. 2017 to 01.01.2019. 106 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were evaluated. The data were collected on the basis of history, available medical documentation, laboratory analyzes and electrocardiograms. Data processing is done using standard statistical methods. Results: The survey covered 10 (9%) men and 96 (91%) women. The age of the respondents was 30-44 years (5 subjects, 4.7%), 44-59 years (38 subjects, 35.8%), 60 years and more (63 respondents, 59.5%). The therapeutic modalities included metformin (24 subjects, 22.6%), metformin and insulin (35 subjects, 33%), insulin (8 subjects, 7.5%), metformin and sulfonylurea derivatives (39 subjects, 36.9%). Diabetes in subjects was up to 5 years (8 subjects, 7.5%), 5-10 years (26 subjects, 24.5%), 10-15 years (32 subjects, 30.2%), over 15 years (40 respondents, 37.8% ). A healthy electrocardiogram had 83 (78.3%) subjects, atrial fibrillation 21 (19.8%) subjects, other rhythm disorders 2 (1.9%) subjects. The frequency of fibrillation within the therapeutic modality was: metformin therapy, 1 (4.2%) subjects, metformin and insulin therapy, 9 (25.7%) subjects, insulin therapy, 3 (37.5%) subjects, metformin therapy and sulfonillureas 9 (20.5%) respondents. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients have high incidence of atrial fibrillation (19.8%). Continuous metformin therapy results in statistically significantly lower incidence of atrial fibrillation compared to other therapeutic modalities (p <0.001). Early detection, metformin administration, and diet regimen can significantly reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients.
Euthanasia as a reason for unworthiness to inherit
Authors: Milović Jovana
Published: March 2021

The provision on the right to a dignified death proposed in the Preliminary Draft Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia has again actualized the discussions on the legalization of euthanasia. Within the framework of inheritance legislation, there are discussions regarding the place of euthanasia among the reasons for unworthiness to inherit. In most legislations, euthanasia is still a criminal offense and, on that basis, the reason for unworthiness to inherit. In the legal systems where euthanasia is allowed, this procedure is completely performed by a doctor. Heirs are not involved in the procedure. Accordingly, euthanasia is not mentioned as a reason for unworthiness of the heir to inherit. The legal solution proposed in the Preliminary Draft of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia was discussed in general terms and left for further debate. By the time the proposed solution is adopted in this or a slightly modified form, active euthanasia will be the reason for unworthiness to inherit, while passive euthanasia could be discussed within some other legally prescribed reasons for unworthiness.
Responsibility of monks in the context of law and society
Authors: Gligić Sanja
Published: March 2021

In the course of history, ecclesiastical life has been imbued by secular beliefs, embodied in human endeavour to get a strong foothold in the Church. Since Emperor Constantine's era, the idea that matured in the ecclesiastical consciousness was that the fundamental principle underlying the organization of ecclesiastical life lay in the domain of law. Nevertheless, in contrast to positive law, canon law is not an expression of the will of an individual or the congregation; instead, it comprises rules deriving from the nature of the Church. The Church, just like any other organism, is governed by two tenets: the static organization, and its dynamic life function. Thus, the responsibility of monks can be perceived either in line with canonic law or within the social context, whereby these tenets are inalienable since there can be no life without organization, nor can there be organization without life. In case a member abandons an organization, regardless of the reasons behind such action (be it voluntary or through the power of law), positive law prescribes that all ties between the said organization and its former member are to be dissolved. On the other hand, in case a penalized monk is obliged to leave the monastery due to the gravity of the pronounced sanction, he is entitled (as a former member) to preserve the status of a Christian. This point derives from the fact that baptism constitutes an indelible fact of spiritual life. This paper examines the subject matter of monks' responsibility for violation of canon law, by comparing the mediaeval and contemporary sources of the Serbian canon law, in view of identifying changes in the said period and drawing the most accurate conclusions.
Multiple imputation to balance unbalanced designs for two-way analysis of variance
Authors: van Ginkel Joost R. , Kroonenberg Pieter M.
Published: March 2021

A balanced ANOVA design provides an unambiguous interpretation of the F-tests, and has more power than an unbalanced design. In earlier literature, multiple imputation was proposed to create balance in unbalanced designs, as an alternative to Type-III sum of squares. In the current simulation study we studied four pooled statistics for multiple imputation, namely D₀, D₁, D₂, and D₃ in unbalanced data, and compared them with Type-III sum of squares. Statistics D₁ and D₂ generally performed best regarding Type-I error rates, and had power rates closest to that of Type-III sum of squares. Additionally, for the interaction, D₁ produced power rates higher than Type-III sum of squares. For multiply imputed datasets D₁ and D₂ may be the best methods for pooling the results in multiply imputed datasets, and for unbalanced data, D₁ might be a good alternative to Type-III sum of squares regarding the interaction.
