Acción social colectiva por el derecho a la salud, Bogotá, 1994-2010
Authors: Torres Tovar Mauricio
Published: October 2021

A finales del año 1993 Colombia estableció a través de la Ley 100 una política de Estado en salud que tiene como base el aseguramiento individual a un mercado de servicios de atención a la enfermedad. El desarrollo de este sistema de salud ha generado impactos negativos sobre la garantía del derecho a la salud de la población, razón por lo cual se fue estableciendo un campo de contienda política por el control de la salud en el país. L articulo describe y analiza las acciones sociales colectivas por el derecho a la salud realizadas después de la expedición de la Ley 100 y hasta el 2010, teniendo como estudio de caso la ciudad de Bogotá. Se hace una caracterización de lo que fueron estas acciones sociales colectivas tanto contenciosas como no contenciosas, permitiendo evidenciar que, producto de la realización de estas acciones colectivas se pudo avanzar en la construcción de una identidad colectiva alrededor de la comprensión de la salud como derecho humano y se configuro un movimiento social capaz de ganar la contienda política y establecer las decisiones necesarias para transformación el campo de la salud a favor de los sectores sociales que demandan la garantía del derecho a la salud.

Collective Social Action for the Right to Health, Bogotá, 1994-2010

Through the law 100 Colombia established at the end of 1993 a health policy that is based on the individual access of services market of the care disease. The development of this health system has resulted in negative impacts on the guaranteed right to health for the population, and it was establishing a field of political struggle for control of health in the country. The article describes and analyzes the collective social actions for the right to health made after the expedition of law 100 until 2010, taking Bogota as a case study. A characterization of these collective social actions, both contentious and non-contentious, shows how it has advanced in the construction of a collective identity around the understanding of health as a human right. The article also pinpoints how social movement for the right to health was configured, but without producing a political subject capabla of winning in the political contest, and establishing the necessary decisions for transforming the health field for the social sectors that demand the guarantee of the right to health.

The Architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry projects in Syria struggled with myriad problems. However, Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology worldwide proves its capability to solve these issues, Syrian AEC companies are rarely using BIM. Therefore, the aim of this study is to improve the BIM performance in Syrian AEC companies which are already in the BIM zero level and to provide strategies to the companies which do not use BIM for BIM adoption in their projects. An extensive literature review has been conducted to investigate the latest strategies and frameworks to implement and improve BIM performance. In addition to, an online questionnaire analysed by SPSS software and Excel to develop the suggested framework. Furthermore, the General Company for Engineering Studies and Consultations (GCEC) is selected as a case study to validate the framework. This study assessed and enabled the company to improve its BIM performance by using BIM maturity matrix (BIM3) through three stages: 1) Identified BIM and its performance, 2) Performance measurement, 3) Performance improvement. This study provides a new and novel companies’ BIM performance improvement framework which consisted of three fields: policy, process, and technology. The results of this study assisted to identify, obtain, and improve BIM interactions between individuals and companies to enhance the collaboration between all project participants. The future research will attempt to test and validate the proposed framework for private sector companies.

What Now for the Zimbabwean Student Demonstrator? Online Activism and Its Challenges for University Students in A COVID-19 Lockdown
Authors: Hove Baldwin , Dube Bekithemba
Published: October 2021

University student activism is generally characterized by protests and demonstrations by students who are reacting to social, political, and economic challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic revolutionized university student activism, and closed the geographical space for protests and demonstrations. The pandemic locked students out of the university campus, thus, rendering the traditional strategies of mass protests and demonstrations impossible. The COVID-19-induced lockdowns made it difficult, if not impossible, to mobilise for on-campus demonstrations and protests. It seems the pandemic is the last nail in the coffin of on-campus student protests. This theoretical paper uses a collective behaviour framework to explain the evolution of student activism in Zimbabwe, from the traditional on-campus politics to virtual activism. It discusses the challenges associated with cybernetic activism. The paper argues that, despite challenges, Zimbabwean university student activists need to migrate to a new world of digital technology and online activism. In the migration to online activism, students activists face a plethora of challenges. On top of the already existing obstacles, activists face new operational challenges related to trying to mobilise a constituency that has relocated to cyberspace. Student activists utilize the existing digital infrastructure to advance their politics, in spite of a hostile state security system and harsh economic environment, and other operational challenges.

Published: October 2021

This paper is a study on Ponzi schemes, development and the Christian church in Nigeria. It traced the emergence of Ponzi schemes in Nigeria. The paper considered the practices of Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM), being one of the strongest Ponzi schemes in Nigeria. It assessed the impact of this Ponzi scheme on development in the country. It also looked into the role played by the Christian Church during the period of the scheme’s existence in the country. The paper, however concluded that, despite the people involved in the scheme being interested in supposedly helping people (including those in the scheme and the less privileged), it is contrary to the ethos of Christianity that touches on labour and its corresponding success. The data collected for the study were analysed using socio-historical approach.

HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination (S&D) among Healthcare Workers (HCW) in Government Healthcare Facilities in Malaysia: Is It Real?
Authors: Mohamad Yadzir Zailatul Hani , Ramly Mazliza , Suleiman Anita
Published: October 2021

Stigma and discrimination (S&D) undermine quality of life of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their access to health services. In this context, an understanding of current stigmatizing attitudes among HCW towards PLHIV from the perspective of Malaysia healthcare setting is crucial to plan for service delivery improvement that is non-stigmatizing and non-discriminatory. The objective of this study was to examine and measure the level of S&D towards PLHIV among HCW in selected government facilities.

A cross-sectional study was undertaken from July to August 2020 in five government hospitals and six government health clinics in Malaysia. Two sets of a validated self-administered questionnaires, one for HCW and another one for PLHIV were used to assess HIV-related S&D. This survey was conducted via web-based platform.

Overall, 3880 HCW and 1173 PLHIV participated in this study. This study found significant proportion of HCW were having stigmatizing attitudes towards PLHIV. This includes fear of taking blood from PLHIV (87%) and double gloving when attending PLHIV (64%) probably due to fear of contracting HIV. In addition, 45% of HCW agreed that women living with HIV (WLHIV) should be prohibited from having children. Although HCW have fears for contracting HIV, their consciences and integrity allowed them to display some positive attitudes towards PLHIV with the majority of HCW 84% and 79% stated that they having observed others in their facility expressed willingness to care and providing good care to PLHIV. On PLHIV experience, only 12% of them reported that they had ever experienced stigma when accessing health services.

The findings of this study shared a worrying magnitude of stigma towards PLHIV among HCW in Malaysia. Nevertheless, ethics and professionalism are upheld through giving good care and services to PLHIV. However, stigma reduction intervention programmes are still needed for HCW to ensure continuous excellent service delivery.

Myjmering: De invloed van het EVRM op de Nederlandse strafrechtspleging. Inmiddels Fair enough?

Bij de discussies in de Kamer over de goedkeuringswet van het EVRM werd nog gedacht dat het EVRM vooral invloed zou hebben op andere landen. Inmiddels is duidelijk dat het EVRM, zoals toegepast en geïnterpreteerd door het EHRM, ook een niet meer weg te denken invloed heeft gehad op de Nederlandse strafrechtspleging. Lidstaten laten soms merken dat het EHRM zich wat gedeisd moet houden. En klagers vinden dat het best wat ruimhartiger mag zijn. Het is voor het EHRM een constant balanceren tussen terughoudendheid en activisme
On “How” to Do African Philosophy in African Language
Authors: Enyimba Maduka ,   DePaul University
Published: October 2021

How should African philosophy be done in African Language? In response to this question, I engage Ngugi and Wiredu in their response to this language question in African philosophy. My aim is to appraise and extend their arguments by answering the question of “how” doing African philosophy in African language can be practically achieved. In this regard, I make a case for the creation of an indigenous cultural language that serves as a means of articulating, communicating and disseminating African philosophical ideas. I suggest the need for African scholars to develop a language culture under the auspices of African Language Network (A.L.N.) that will enable them to do philosophy and present it in an African language. I show that African philosophy done in a foreign or colonial language is like dressing Africa in a borrowed rope, and that as long as African scholars continue to overlook this, the lofty goal of restoring the lost glory of Africa, the gains and further progress in African philosophy, rather than being consolidated, may become greatly hampered. Recognizing the diversity of languages in African culture, I present Afrolingualism as the key to achieving this end. Afrolingualism is a conscientious effort by African scholars to contrive a unanimously accepted indigenous language of discourse in philosophy.

Design guidelines for on-site stormwater detention
Authors: Freire Flávio Bentes , Souza Ricardo Cesar Conrado de , Mannich Michael
Published: October 2021

The city of Curitiba-PR has a municipal decree that establishes the criteria for the design of flood detention tanks. However, these guidelines do not guarantee minimum efficiency during operation, as it may vary depending on their base area, water depth and flow regulating orifice diameter. In this research, a design method was proposed, establishing some new criteria that relate impervious areas of the lots to the tank design parameters. The efficiency definition was established with the premise that the tanks should provide the return of flows from an impervious area to its pre-urbanization scenario. This reduction was established as 70% of the peak flow in the city of Curitiba-PR. Based on simulations of flow routing with the Puls Method, the optimum geometric characteristics (volume, area, water depth and orifice diameter) of the tanks were obtained to guarantee the decrease in the peak. Comparing the results obtained from the municipal legislation design, the new method provided n minimal efficiency and a decrease of 24% of the tank volume.

The increase in strains resistant to conventional antifungals means that there is a need for studies related to alternative therapeutic practices, such as medicinal plants. This study aims to evaluate the chemical profile and fungicidal activity of the nanoemulsion of the essential oil obtained from Ba-har (Syrian pepper). The phytochemical profile of the plant material was performed based on the methodology of Matos (2009). For extraction of essential oil, 100g of plant material was used, with the isolation of essential oil by the hydrodistillation technique conducted at 100 °C / 3h. To quantify the total phenolics present in the OE, the Folin-Ciocalteu method was used. For the total flavonoids, the AlCl3 complexation method was used. The oil-in-water nanoemulsion was formulated by the low-energy method of phase inversion using essential oil, non-ionic surfactant and water, and the obtained nanoemulsion was subjected to thermodynamic stability tests. The essential oils and stable nanoemulsions were subjected to evaluation of the fungicidal action against strains of Aspergillus niger (ATCC 6275), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (ATCC 96723) and Penicilium chrysogenum (ATCC 10106). The fungicidal activity was performed according to CLSI (2020) using the Broth Dilution method to obtain the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and sowing on agar for Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (CFM). The results obtained for the total phenolic content were quantified at 348.3 mg EAT g-1 and 346.21 mg EQ g-1 for flavonoids. Ba-har essential oil was more efficient in inhibiting A. niger, as it presented the lowest MIC (200 µg mL-1), followed by P. chrysogenum (250 µg mL-1) and later by C. gloeosporioides (300 µg mL-1). The identification of the secondary metabolites present in Ba-har was quite considerable, since they are responsible for the biological properties, thus inspiring the continuity of studies related to its biological activities. As for the total phenolic content and flavonoids present in the essential oil, they indicated the important antioxidant potential. The fungicidal potential of Ba-har oil showed strong inhibition and mortality, however the nanoemulsion product with the essential oil incorporated showed a more efficient action against the pathogenic fungi tested,

Brazil has an invaluable source of plants and fruits rich in phenolic compounds important to health, some of which have yet to be discovered. Inga marginata Willd is a fruit that can be found throughout Brazil, and its seeds are rich in phenolic compounds and antimicrobial activity, thus making their extraction and characterization highly relevant. This study aimed to determine the total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, antibacterial and antifungal activities, cytotoxicity evaluation, and characterize the phytochemical compounds present in the extract. The results indicated that extraction by agitation at 30 ºC obtained the highest yield of total phenolic compounds (48.23 mg GAE g-1), antioxidant capacity (40.34 mg TEAC g-1), and IC50 (2.60 mg mL-1). The extracts at 30 and 60 ºC inhibited all microorganisms tested, and the temperature of 30 ºC acted as a bactericide and fungicide at low concentrations. Ten phytochemical compounds were found, mainly being antioxidants and antimicrobials. The cytotoxicity assays showed that Inga marginata seeds do not present cellular cytotoxicity up to the concentration of 250 µg mL-1, maintaining cell viability above 90%.
Implications of formal security theories on COVID-19 crisis management
Authors: Stanković Nevena
Published: October 2021

The growing "chaotic" potential of modern crises, such as the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, imposes an urgent need to review the existing and find more flexible methodological tools, in order to strengthen preparedness and timely response to the crisis. By analyzing various aspects of managing the current crisis situation, it is suggested that the application of different methods of mathematical-operational research would result in potentially new and significant insights into this complex problem situation. The paper, therefore, seeks to point out the implications of formal security theories and different theoretical models of resilience on COVID-19 crisis management. First, the application of deterministic chaos theory as a tool for early warning and, thus, avoiding strategic surprises is suggested. In that way, the threatening "chaotic" potential of the risks that could be seen would be recognized. Furthermore, predictive models, as a "part" of the apparatus of certain versions of game theory, can contribute to more optimal strategic decision-making, in terms of making decisions that would maximize the "usefulness" of the outcome of the actors themselves (primarily towards "nature"), i.e. minimize inevitable negative side effects. Finally, the potential of the application of various multivariate techniques for making the most valid decisions at the tactical and operational level is pointed out. Finally, models of resilience are presented, each of which has the potential to analyze the impact of certain aspects of managing the current crisis situation.

Aim of this clinical study was to investigate its cardiovascular effects and quality of the emergence from anaesthesia in patients scheduled for elective plastic surgery under general balanced anaesthesia. Methods: A total of 30 ASA I/II patients were randomised in two groups of similar demographic characteristics and baseline values of cardiovascular parameters. Esmolol group received esmolol dissolved in glucose 5 % as an intravenous infusion, 0.3 mg/kg/min during the first 5 min and at a rate of 0.1 mg/kg/ min thereafter. Control patients received the solvent only, at the same rate and volume. General balanced anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone sodium and fentanyl and maintained with nitrous oxide and oxygen. Neuromuscular relaxation was assured with pancuronium bromide and was antagonised at the end of operation with atropine and neostigmine. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were registered at all critical phases: (1) immediately prior to the induction (baseline value), (2) induction to anaesthesia, (3) tracheal intubation, (4) first skin incision, (5) surgical manipulation with organs, (6) suture of the surgical wound and (7) tracheal extubation. Drug consumption and quality of postoperative recovery were monitored. Results: In most of the critical phases of anaesthesia and operation, patients from the Esmolol group had significantly lower values of cardiovascular parameters than the patients from the Control group. Esmolol-treated patients needed less fentanyl, droperidol and pancuronium and had faster and smoother emergence from anaesthesia than the control patients. Conclusion: Esmolol improved haemodynamics and post-anaesthesia recovery in patients undergoing elective plastic surgery under general balanced anaesthesia.
The ethical power of music in the 'Ave Maria' motet by Claudio Monteverdi
Authors: Belić Senka
Published: October 2021

Since ancient times, the concept of ethos has been a distinguished part of cultural heritage, living in various spheres of social, cultural, intellectual and religious life. During the Renaissance, the encounter of rhetorical categories and Christian doctrine opened the space for the manifestation of ethos in sacred music. Ethos is important as a rhetorical category, therefore, as a way to achieve persuasiveness, in which the theory of ethos of the Greek rhetorician Hermogenes of Tarsus will be consulted. Following this theory, which was also known in the Renaissance, a series of counterpoint methods will take form, which may indicate the manifestation of certain subcategories of ethos in music. Having in mind Hermogenes' concept of ethos on the one hand, and the significance of ethos in the Christian figure of Mary on the other, this paper examines a chain of manifestations and, given Hermogenes' subcategories, offers an in-depth reading of the text and music in the motet from the end of the 16th century. It is an early work of Claudio Monteverdi on the words of the Ave Maria prayer, which, according to its religious function and meaning, represents not only a concise appeal to the ethos of believers, but also the ethical foundation of Marian devotions.
Expressionism in the 'Midnight' by Josip Kulundžić
Authors: Trojan Ivan , Vuco Jurica
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to get an insight into a part of Josip Kulundžić's expressionist drama through the analysis of the play Midnight and the playwright's attitude towards drama and dramatic and theatrical theories of the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello. Starting from the assumption that Kulundžić's expressionist dramatic opus is one of the paradigmatic and poetically most significant dramatic opuses of Croatian and Serbian dramatic expressionism, the first part of the paper will systematise Josip Kulundžić's expressionist dramatic opus, show its features and value, and through the analyses of the play Midnight mark the author's attitude towards pirandelism as a significant phenomenon on the then world drama and theatre scene. This revalues the significance and role of Josip Kulundžić and his dramatic work within the framework of Croatian and Serbian literature of the first half of the 20th century.
Krleža's unfulfilled love or comfortable restlessness of gender conflicts
Authors: Vidović Anđela
Published: October 2021

The fundamental idea of this article is to connect the gender antagonism in Krleža's border works of the first dramatic cycle, the rarely performed plays On the Eve (1919) and Adam and Eve (1922) with the tradition of tabooing sexuality from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, by the inventiveness of the sociological analyses of that time, and the achievements of modern evolutionary psychology. The psychographic points of a "couple in a sexual snuggle" (Gašparović, 1977), dissolve in the characters as bearers of universal symbols. Although enclosed in the apparent triviality of exaggerated psychologisation (Donat, 1970), Krleža's malefemale miniatures through zoometaphors and mythico-dramatic parallels raise the question of how love relationships from the early 20th century managed to maintain the dominance of the spoken word over the physical and the emotional.
Topology of narrative in the poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin
Authors: Popović Radovan
Published: October 2021

Significance and peculiarity of the appearance and influence that Friedrich Hölderlin had with his poetic work, both on the whole thematic-motive structure of later poetry (indications of this turn were already present in theoretical form with Diderot, but completely deprived of their true poetic articulation until Lamartine), as well as the character of the philosophical foundation of the new dialectical reversal of thought, brought by German classical philosophy, are thematised in this paper as an organically consistent and continuous process within the framework of the indicated problem, from attempts to enter the world of Hellenism, as a fundamental source of creative unity of poetry and reality, thought and action, battle and truth, to the disappointment in the possibility of objectifying the poetic experience into a coherent basis for reconciling the contradictions of the then social and political situation, which was expressed in the existential gap between alienated everyday life and his spiritual essence, which, in the end, led to Hölderlin's insight into the futility of his own poetic testimony and the role of poetry as a harbinger of the oncoming deduction-out-of-the-oblivion of the being of the existent in its original unity.
Information overload in the educational process: the problem of personal response and risks of neuroticism
Authors: Korolev Andrei Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2021

The problem of information impact is extremely relevant and significant in modern clinical psychology and medicine in the context of the emergence of risk of neurotic disorders. Russian and foreign authors view information is viewed as one of the key factors of neurogenesis. In modern scientific circulation, the generally accepted term that denotes pathogenic effect of information is the information overload. The author outlines the content of the concept and stress factors of its occurrence. There is lack of research dedicated to interdependence between the information stress factors and personal response. No specific personality characteristics that determine the sensitivity or resistance of an individual to particular causes of information overload are revealed. The object of this research is the impact of the factors of information overload upon the individual. The subject is the interrelation between personal peculiarities and specificity of the impact of information stress factors. The study involved medical students as the respondents who constantly deal with the key information stress factors due to specificity of their activity. The article is based on the 5PFQ five-factor personality survey, BMS II survey (fatigue-monotony-satiety-overload). V. A. Bodrov’s classification of the factors of information overload allowed developing the questionnaire that indicated the “direct information” factors. The author establishes acute significance of the estimated causes of information overload among the respondents. The use of correlation analysis allows establishing the dependence between personality characteristics and specific impact of the information stress factors, which reveals individual sensitivity to the particular information stressors.

The conclusion is made on the frequency of the use of these characteristics.
Metaphysical metaphor
Authors: Kormin Nikolai Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2021

The aim of the research is to determine the meaning of metaphor for identifying the metaphysical foundations of aesthetics, to analyze how the ways of this definition are drawn in the philosophy of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, Mamardashvili. Their works help to understand how a metaphysical metaphor is constructed, its aesthetic matrix. Since ancient times, aesthetic thought has considered the concept of the language of metaphor with its double ambiguity, various metaphorical figures as structures internally connected with categorical reflection on the system of art, and the metaphor itself was conceived as a form of semantic perception and the creation of an artistic landscape. Revealing the place of aesthetics in the structure of metaphysics, the author examines the aesthetic role of the metaphorical within metaphysics, the complexity of the relationship between the concept of metaphor and the fundamental metaphysical category of being In the world scientific literature, there is an infinite number of works in which metaphor is considered as a rhetorical figure. But studies of metaphysical metaphor are rare. For the first time in the Russian-language literature, the article outlines approaches to the aesthetic understanding of metaphysical metaphor, as they developed mainly in the philosophy of Heidegger and Derrida. In their concepts, the intuition of the metaphor itself as metaphysics is revealed, the idea of the metaphysical metaphor of light is revealed, the understanding of the transcendental ego as a metaphor is revealed, and the concept of the substance of the metaphor itself is clarified. Special attention is paid to the aesthetic and metaphysical interpretations of metaphor in modern Russian philosophy.--
