The Entwinement of Macroscale Welfare Politics and Microscale Masculine Performance An exploration of patriarchy through personal performances of masculinity in Denmark and Australia
Authors: Levin Phoebe
Published: June 2023

This paper draws a correlation between the adverse welfare systems of Denmark and Australia and their varying displays of masculinity in the form of personal gender performance. It utilises Puberty Blues and Twist and Shout, similar films regarding their genres, contexts and target audiences to exemplify the latter. It employs Judith Butler’s methodology, that gender expressions echo the social mores of the society in which they are conducted, to illuminate the inextricable link between macroscale constructions of masculinity, in the form of patriarchy and therein the differing economic-political systems of Denmark and Australia, and microscale performances. In doing this, it highlights how contingent upon sexuality gender expression was in the 1980’s, whilst also depicting the entwinement of the welfare states and their concomitant masculinities. It therefore argues that while the production of masculinity through individual and collective performance was simultaneously sustaining in the 1980’s in both nations, varying initial conceptions of masculinity influenced how they were solidified by superstructures and subsequently carried out.
Debatten om homoseksuelle ægteskaber
Authors: Berdiin Bracht Jesper
Published: June 2023

I denne artikel undersøger jeg forholdet mellem den offentlige og parlamentariske debat om homoseksuelle ægteskaber i Danmark. Med afsæt i den deliberationsteoriske demokratiteori undersøger jeg, hvorvidt sagen var et eksempel på et velfungerende demokrati. Artiklen viser hvordan religiøse argumenter var komplet fraværende i den landspolitiske debat, og konkluderer, at sagen kun i ringe grad levede op til deliberative principper. Med indførelsen af homoseksuelle ægteskaber viser jeg endvidere, hvordan homorettigheder med debatten er blevet et legitimt element i majoritetsdanskernes selvforståelse, hvor det kristne moralsyn, som konsekvens heraf, har måtte vige pladsen for ligestillingen.
Køn, seksualitet og politik i Eurovision Song Contest 2007
Authors: Lehn Maja , Garnett Izabella
Published: June 2023

Denne artikel undersøger Serbiens positionering i Den Europæiske Union (EU) med udgangspunkt i Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) i 2007 og 2008, samt hvordan Serbiens deltagelse og sejr i ESC var med til at styrke muligheden for et EU-medlemskab efter landets selvstændighed i 2006. Artiklen argumenterer for, at Serbien i ESC fremstillede sig selv som et land, der delte politiske værdier med EU, for at øge sine chancer for et EU-medlemskab. Dernæst argumenterer artiklen for, at den serbiske sangerinde Marija Šerifovićs deltagelse og sejr i ESC og hendes virke som EU-ambassadør er blevet brugt til at signalere, at landet accepterer minoriteter. Artiklen viser, hvordan Šerifović bliver set som en Anden både gennem en politisering og et efterfølgende forsøg på afpolitisering af EU samt gennem hendes køn, etnicitet og diskursen om hendes formodede seksualitet.
Fra LBL til LGBT
Authors: Grumstrup Morten
Published: June 2023

Denne artikel undersøger trans-inklusionen i 2008 i den daværende Landsforeningen for bøsser og lesbiske, samt udviklingen fra en bøsse-lesbisk forening til en LGBT-forening. Analysen viser at udviklingen til en LGBT-forening begyndte allerede i 1999 da et medlem af foreningens egen ledelse stod frem som transkønnet. Analysen viser at delte livserfaringer (’approximations’) mellem transpersoner og homo- og biseksuelle personer var vigtige for opnåelsen af en trans-inklusion, og dermed en LGBT-udvikling. Analysen viser ydermere at den danske trans-inklusion ikke endte i en kunstig implementering, modsat mange amerikanske

ЛЕКАРСКА ГРЕШКА КАО РАЗЛОГ НАКНАДЕ НЕМАТЕРИЈАЛНЕ ШТЕТЕ
Authors: Петровић Данијела
Published: June 2023

Учесталост лекарских грешака и пораст броја спорова за накнаду штете настале као последица тих грешака утицали су на по- већано интересовање правника, лекара, али и економиста за ову област. Лекарска грешка сама по себи није основ одговорности, али то постаје уколико настану последице њоме узроковане. Поред одговорности лекара утврђује се и одговорност сарадника у лечењу, али и одговорност установе у којој је грешка начињена. Основни разлог одговорности лекара утврђује се због пропуста у раду, непрописног или изосталог информисања па- цијената. Савремено законодавсто и судска пракса лекарском грешком сматрају обављање медицинске интервенције без пристанка пацијента. Чињеница да настале грешке апсорбују значајне ресурсе за санирање по- следица лекарских грешака и накнаду штете у судским поступцима указује на значај економског аспекта овог питања, али и на неопходност приме- не стратегија како би се број грешака, а тиме и трошкова које узрокују смањио. Грешке су својствене свим областима људског деловања, али је због природе посла и осетљивости људи на повреде здравља и угрожавање живота, питање грешака медицинских посленика посебно осетљиво. За повреде настале лекарском грешком повређени могу захтевати накнаду материјалне и нематеријалне штете. Анализом у раду указује се на неопходност адекватнијег сагледавања проблема лекарске грешке, потребу за ефикаснијим утврђивањем одговор- ности, значају едуковања правника у утврђивању одговорности лекара, али и на утицај лекарских грешака на индивидуално и друштвено благостање.
ДЕМИСТИФИКАЦИЈА “ЗОНЕ СУМРАКА” - КАДА ПОСТОЈИ ВЈЕРОВАТНОЋА НАСТУПАЊА ИНСОЛВЕНТНОСТИ?
Authors: Радић Ирена
Published: June 2023

“Зона сумрака” у пословању привредног друштва je пери- од у коме је његова финансијска и пословна ситуација погоршана до те мјере да је наступање инсолвентности вјероватно, али ипак и даље по- стоји могућност опоравка и наставка пословања. Дакле, то је један ам- рорфни период између солвентности и инсовлентности када су интере- си повјерилаца, запослених и осталих стејкхолдера нарочито угрожени, усљед веће спремности на ризик и опортунистичко понашање лица која представљају друштво. Упоредноправно посматрано, постоје различити инструменти зашти- те интереса повјерилаца и осталих стејкхолдера у „зони сумрака“. Један од тих инстурмената је проширење објекта посебних дужности према друштву на повјериоце и остале стејкхолдере. Наведени приступ је усвојен Директивом о реструктурирању и инсолвентности која предвиђа обавезу држава чланица да обезбиједе да директори, у периоду када постоји вје-роватноћа наступањa инсолвентности, узимају у обзир интересе повје- рилаца, чланова и осталих стејкхолдера. У овом раду ћемо покушати да одредимо тренутак у коме се сматра да је наступање инсолвентности вјероватно, односно тренутак када друштво улази у “зону сумрака” и када из“зоне сумраке” излази. Заложићемо се за примјену субјективно – објективног критеријума, који би се заснивао на претпостављеном знању лица са дужностима према друштву да је наступање инсовлентности вјероватно уколико су испуњени одређени објективни критеријуми. Ради утврђивања објективних критеријума (индикатора инсолвентности) ана- лизираћемо могућности употребе модела за предвиђање инсолвентности и система раног упозоравња.

GERMAN’S BIOLOGICAL THEORIES IN CRIMINOLOGY1 - mapping the beginnings
Authors: Simović Marina M.
Published: June 2023

In this paper, the author explores the early German criminology, pointing out that it was a result of interests stemming from the legalistic approach to crime. For this reason, the contribution of German criminologists to the development of criminology as an independent science is observed by examining the legalistic, anthropological, biological and sociological approaches to criminology. Each of these approaches is concurrently associated with a particular criminological orientation or a period of predominant influence of some criminological approach in explaining causality. The development of the German criminology at the time was reflected in the efforts of psychiatrists to expand their expertise into the field of criminal behaviour and to offer a medical solution to this problem. Tracing the historical development of the German criminology in the course of three different political regimes (including the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and the period of Nazism), the author of this article has an opportunity to assess the political impact on scientific research and its implications. Finally, the recent revival of the biological and genetic research into crimes makes this historical research into criminal biology (from Lombrose to Nazism) highly relevant. The historiography on crime and criminal justice in Germany is well-developed even though the German literature on these issues is considerably less extensive in volume than the respective literature in France and England. The knowledge of the social history of crime in Germany during the 19th and 20th century is still extremely limited. In the last decade of the 20th century, there were some significant developments in this process. In mapping the early development of criminology in Germany, Wetzell identifies the following historical periods. The first period is the beginning of the 19th century, marked by the learning of Lombroso on the inborn criminal offender as well as by the growing impact of the new criminal law reform in Germany. The second period involves the impact of the German reception of the Lombroso’s theory on establishing criminal psychology in Germany from 1880- 1914. The third period reflects the learning of criminal sociology, i.e. accepting the idea on the impact of social conditions on the development of crime. The next period covers the predominant position of the biological research in criminology at the time of the Weimar Republic. Finally, the last period in the development of the earlier German criminology is the period under the Nazi regime (including the sterilization of criminals as well as the Nazi policy of sterilizations of some ethnic groups).

Издавањем књиге „Српска правна историја”, аутора проф. др Здраве Стојановић 2020. године Република Српска добила је свој први уџбеник из области српске правне историје. Све до тог момента, научна сазнања из ове области студентима и научној јавности била су доступна искључиво путем страних уџбеника, најчешће оних поријеклом из Републике Србије или путем других радова који су датирали из времена социјалистичке Ју- гославије. Осим што је пионир у овом погледу, ова књига истиче се и по цјеловитом и свеобухватном приказу правне прошлости држава које се по свом етничком карактеру могу сматрати српским државама. Важност овог штива, према томе, огледа се првенствено у омогућавању студенти- ма правних наука, али и свим другим заинтересованим, да сагледају токо- ве српске правне прошлости и еволуцију најважнијих правних института, као и да боље разумију садашњу позицију српског народа и његове односе са другим народима.

Published: June 2023

The insurance contract belongs to the contracts that are given increasing importance, as one of the most important contracts of legal transactions. The need to research digitization in insurance law is seen in the necessity to study the complexity of legal relations within it. The planned research has a scientific justification because it contributes to the scientific verification of certain issues related to digitization in insurance that have not been previously processed or confirmed, in expanding and deepening knowledge in the subject domain. The relationship between the electronic form of the policy and the traditional written form is analyzed and a defined and determined relationship between them is established. The author aims to present the sources of law related to the insurance policy. It starts from the normative complex with the specifics and characteristics of this topic.
THE ECONOMY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN THE LIGHT OF GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Authors: Stanić Milenko , Stanić Tamara
Published: June 2023

The subject of research in this paper are the expectations of Bosnian businessmen regarding the future conditions of business operations. Based on the current moment and challenges, the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, inflation, they were asked to assess future economic trends. The goal was to assess the degree of optimism or pessimism among entrepreneurs as an important factor in the future development of the economy. Managers in different sectors of the economy were surveyed in three cities of northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bijeljina, Zvornik and Brčko. The future of our economy was assessed from the following aspects: the key difficulties that businessmen will face, expectations about future economic growth, the attitude of the BiH authorities towards the current divisions in the world due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as an estimate of the time when normal working conditions will be established and business activities that existed before the pandemic.
Intestinal GCN2 controls Drosophila systemic growth in response to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum symbiotic cues encoded by r/tRNA operons

Symbiotic bacteria interact with their host through symbiotic cues. Here, we took advantage of the mutualism between Drosophila and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lp) to investigate a novel mechanism of host-symbiont interaction. Using chemically defined diets, we found that association with Lp improves the growth of larvae-fed amino acid-imbalanced diets, even though Lp cannot produce the limiting amino acid. We show that in this context Lp supports its host’s growth through a molecular dialogue that requires functional operons encoding ribosomal and transfer RNAs (r/tRNAs) in Lp and the general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase in Drosophila’s enterocytes. Our data indicate that Lp’s r/tRNAs are packaged in extracellular vesicles and activate GCN2 in a subset of larval enterocytes, a mechanism necessary to remodel the intestinal transcriptome and ultimately to support anabolic growth. Based on our findings, we propose a novel beneficial molecular dialogue between host and microbes, which relies on a non-canonical role of GCN2 as a mediator of non-nutritional symbiotic cues encoded by r/tRNA operons.
Toeholder: a software for automated design and in silico validation of toehold riboswitches
Authors: Cisneros Angel F. , Rouleau Francois D. , Bautista Carla , Lemieux Pascale , Dumont-Leblond Nathan
Published: June 2023

Synthetic biology aims to engineer biological circuits, which often involve gene expression. A particularly promising group of regulatory elements are riboswitches because of their versatility with respect to their targets, but early synthetic designs were not as attractive because of a reduced dynamic range with respect to protein regulators. Only recently, the creation of toehold switches helped overcome this obstacle by also providing an unprecedented degree of orthogonality. However, a lack of automated design and optimization tools prevents the widespread and effective use of toehold switches in high throughput experiments. To address this, we developed Toeholder, a comprehensive open-source software for toehold design and in silico comparison. Toeholder takes into consideration sequence constraints from experimentally tested switches, as well as data derived from molecular dynamics simulations of a toehold switch. We describe the software and its in silico validation results, as well as its potential applications and impacts on the management and design of toehold switches.
Allopatric speciation is more prevalent than parapatric ecological divergence in a recent high-Andean diversification (Linochilus:Asteraceae)
Authors: Vargas Oscar M. , Madriñán Santiago , Simpson Beryl
Published: June 2023

Elucidating how species accumulate in diversity hotspots is an ongoing debate in evolutionary biology. The páramo, in the Northern Andes, has remarkably high indices of plant diversity, endemicity, and diversification rates. A hypothesis for explaining such indices is that allopatric speciation is high in the páramo given its island-like distribution. An alternative hypothesis is that the altitudinal gradient of the Andean topography provides a variety of niches that drive vertical parapatric ecological speciation. A formal test for evaluating the relative roles of allopatric and parapatric ecological speciation is lacking. The main aim of our study is to test which kind of speciation is more common in an endemic páramo genus. We developed a framework incorporating phylogenetics, species’ distributions, and a morpho-ecological trait (leaf area) to compare sister species and infer whether allopatric or parapatric ecological divergence caused their speciation. We applied our framework to the species-rich genusLinochilus(63 spp.) and found that the majority of recent speciation events in it (12 events, 80%) have been driven by allopatric speciation, while a smaller fraction (one event, 6.7%) is attributed to parapatric ecological speciation; two pairs of sister species produced inconclusive results (13.3%). We conclude that páramo autochthonous (in-situ) diversification has been primarily driven by allopatric speciation.
El resarcimiento en caso de desistimiento del contrato de obra, ¿Es realmente distinto del que derivaría del régimen general?
Authors: Rodríguez - Palmero Seuma Pablo
Published: June 2023

Generalmente se ha considerado que la facultad de desistir del contrato de obra contemplada en el artículo 1594 del Código Civil español es singular: no solo porque permite al promotor extinguir, por su sola voluntad, el contrato, sino también porque contempla una indemnización especial.En este trabajo se pone en duda, principalmente, la segunda consideración: teniendo en cuenta que los tres conceptos contemplados en ese artículo nor-malmente coincidirán con la indemnización derivada de las reglas generales, la posible diferencia entre uno y otro régimen solo puede hallarse en el elemento subjetivo, esto es, en si el promotor ha actuado conscientemente de los daños que causa o no ha tenido otra alternativa que desistir. No obstante, tampoco esta diferencia con el régimen general es tan clara como pudiera pensarse.

The apprenticeship of Chilean congressional leaders (1834-1924) from the perspective of the theory of legislative institutionalization
Authors: Obando Camino Iván
Published: June 2023

This article analyzes the historical development of Chilean congressional leadership offices (1834-1924), while testing a proposition of the theory of legislati ve institutionalization that says that legislatures gradually move to-ward greater boundedness over time. The indicator of boundedness is the length of the apprenticeship of congressional leaders. Lateral entry, short office tenure, and returning leaders became distinctive features in the case at hand. Institutional design and exchanges between the legislat ure and the environment determine legislative institutionaliz ation, so a legislature insti-tutionalizes by acquiring stability, permanence, distinctiveness, and sustain-ability in a polity.

Anaesthesia for Thoracic Aortic Disease: Series of Four Cases
Authors: Ajanth S , Praveen S Mano , Mhamane Rameshwar A , Deshpapande Charulata M
Published: June 2023

Thoracic aortic diseases involving the thoracic aorta, from the ascending aorta, the aortic arch to the descending aorta, can present in the form of aneurysms, dissection, tear and coarctation which usually lead to various complications, requiring surgical intervention. The same can be addressed surgically by ascending aorta replacement or reduction aortoplasty with/without Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR). The anaesthetic implications might vary depending on the pathology of the thoracic aortic disease which can be acute or chronic and, silent or symptomatic. Anaesthetic management of four patients (1 female and 3 males) with varied thoracic aortic diseases have been described in the series, including bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis, Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) with severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR) with ascending aortic aneurysm, ascending aortic dilatation in a known Takayasu arteritis patient and coarctation of aorta with atrial septal defect. These patients underwent aortoplasty with or without aortic root replacement. Full cardiopulmonary bypass with Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA) at 16-20°C was the technique used for these procedures as it prevents stroke and ensures cognitive function. This technique had no additional cannulas, less chances of intimal injury or embolisation and clear surgical fields. During the process of rewarming, Inj. nitroglycerine was started which reduced preload, conserving the myocardium against ischaemic injuries. These patients were successfully managed perioperatively and were discharged with good outcomes postoperatively

Published: June 2023

Palatal swellings can at times be a challenging task for clinicians to diagnose, as they may result from various aetiological factors and can derive from the structures within palate or beyond it, either be congenital or acquired in origin. Nasopalatine duct cysts are the most common developmental non-odontogenic cysts account for 10% of maxillary cysts in oral cavity. Though exact aetiology is unknown, these cysts commonly arise from epithelial remnants of nasopalatine duct and usually present as asymptomatic swelling in anterior part of hard palate posterior to the palatal papilla. A unique case report of 28-year-old male patient manifested with a large palatal swelling in the middle of the hard palate with associated symptoms of burning sensation in nose, difficulty while swallowing and change in voice resonance.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Medical education in India being stressful, precipitated further due to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease2019 (COVID-19) and hence shifting to the online mode of education. The sudden implementation of online teaching learning methods, lack of communication between teachers and students and further the tedious modes of assessments through online methods created chaos among the students subjecting the students under enormous stress. Aim: To compare the stress levels in online and offline mode of teaching in medical undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study. It was conducted in two Government Medical Colleges located in Kanyakumari and Thiruvananmalai of Tamil Nadu during April 2021 to December 2021 after the students returned to the conventional teaching method from digital learning (during COVID-19). This study assesses the stress by using Perceived Stress Scale, among young healthy individuals (390 medical graduates of either sex) who were in their preclinical, paraclinical and clinical years of the medical curriculum. The questionnaire comprised of general demographic data and consent form (six items) information on online classes and offline classes (18 items) and Perceived Stress Scale- 10 questionnaire to assess stress during online and offline mode. The obtained results were tabulated and was statistically analysed by Pearson Chi-square test. Using the software R (Programming Language) version 2021 for used for anlaysis. Results: Out of the 390 students participated in the study 204 (52.30%) of the students were from Government Kanyakumari Medical College, with 98 (48.04%) male and 106 (51.96%) female students. While the remaining 186 (47.70%) students were from Government Thiruvannamalai Medical College, with 84 (45.17%) male and 102 (54.83%) were female students. The mean age of the participating students were 19.6±2.4 years. The difference in the number of scheduled hours of classes, duration of each classes were more during offline classes compared to online classes. Whereas the attention span of the students were more during offline classes of >30 minutes compared to online classes with attention span of <20 minutes, in most of the students. Further the study revealed that online mode of teaching was highly stressful to the students compared to offline teaching which was moderately stressful (highly significant), further the students experienced other adverse effects related to stress such us deterioration of vision, lack of concentration, difficulty in sleep etc. Conclusion: The study emphasises that irrespective of the mode of teaching, medical undergraduate students experience stress under any form, however online mode of teaching is much more stressful than offline teaching.

Aim: Surgical correction of congenital heart defects (CHD) often requires interruption of blood flow through cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamping (ACC), for which duration(s) are considered to be prognostic factors, along with intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (ICULOS). The aim of this study was to evaluate these surgical prognostic factors in pediatric patients with different types of CHD regarding their type of lesion and associated genetic factors.

Study Design: Cross-sectional cohort study with 307 pediatric patients.

Place and Duration of Study: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio, in Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil, from 2006-2009 (3 years)

Methodology: After inclusion criteria, we studied 266 pediatric patients admitted for the first time in a reference cardiac pediatric ICU from Southern Brazil following cardiac surgery. Intraoperative prognostic factors such as duration of CPB, ACC and ICULOS, in addition to dysmorphological and cytogenetic examinations were compiled and analyzed. P-values of <0.05 were considered significant.

Results: CPB time was associated to four outflow tract defects (Tetralogy of Fallot [ToF], transposition of the great arteries [TGA], double outlet right ventricle, and truncus arteriosus [TA]), atrioventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) (P < 0.001). ACC duration was associated with three outflow tract defects (ToF, TGA, and TA) and HLHS (P < 0.001). Moreover, CPB and ACC times showed an association with cyanotic and complex heart defects, as well as prolonged ICULOS (P < 0.001). There was no relationship between these prognostic factors and syndromic aspects or cytogenetic findings.

Conclusions: CHD type has an impact over CPB and ACC duration and ICULOS, whereas genetic factors are not associated with those prognostic factors.

The soil and water conservation structures are constructed to overcome water scarcity as a result of interannual rainfall variability and paucity of the perennial source of water. The present study was aimed to estimate the design runoff for the efficient hydrologic design of various soils and water conservation structures using machine techniques for enabling efficient harvesting of available rainfall with economical design which can support in developing climate resilience for the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, India. The design rainfall at various return periods was predicted by Annual One Day Maximum Rainfall (ADMR) using three technics i.e. Probability Distribution Fitting, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for 11 stations. Various goodness of fit tests revealed that ADMR was efficiently predicted by log-logistic (3P) distribution for six stations, generalized extreme value distribution for two stations and lognormal (3P), gamma (3P) and lognormal distribution for one station each. Among ANN and GPR, the performance indicators revealed that GPR has shown a higher capability to predict ADMR as compared to ANN with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.97 to 0.99, mean absolute error from 15 mm to 411 mm and root mean squared error from 40 mm to 494 mm for various stations. The design runoff estimation was demonstrated based on predicted ADMR for return periods suitable for various soil and water conservation structures like field bunding, terrace outlets and vegetative outlets, field diversion, permanent masonry gully control structures, earthen dam, etc.   using SCS-Curve Number method for curve number 70 and 85. The study is useful for researchers, planners and engineers to implement the economical, efficient and safe design of various soil and water conservation structures.
