A Covid-19 é uma doença que expandiu no mundo inteiro, trazendo consequências drásticas a saúde da população. Foi estabelecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde o distanciamento social, como medida para evitar a disseminação do vírus. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar os fatores que proporcionaram ao desenvolvimento da ansiedade e depressão na população, com enfoque na comparação de medicamentos da classe dos ansiolíticos e entre 2018 a 2022 (parcial), na farmácia básica do município de Joaíma-MG. A pandemia do Covid-19 causou danos socioeconômicos e emocionais em parcelas significativas na sociedade. Acerca da terapia medicamentosa dos psicotrópicos, os que ganharam bastante destaque foram os benzodiazepínicos e os antidepressivos de várias classes. Esses medicamentos podem causar dependência e efeitos severos, deste modo, é necessário um acompanhamento médico para manusear os cuidados da farmacoterapia. O estudo propõe a combinação do aumento da dispensação desses medicamentos nessa farmácia, com os efeitos da vida pessoal e comunitária do indivíduo, ressaltando a importância de vias alternativas para fins de bem-estar, com papel fundamental do farmacêutico para orientação e aconselhamento do uso dos medicamentos psicotrópicos.

Published: June 2023

As empresas familiares têm presença significativa na vida econômica do nosso país, seja pela sua partição do PIB ou pelo número de empregos que gera, porém, a maioria não sobrevive a transição para a segunda geração. Sendo assim, é relevante compreender quais os principais conflitos que dificultam a sucessão familiar, bem como, quais as principais soluções que auxiliem a superar esses gargalos. Através de uma pesquisa aplicada, com objetivo descritivo, classificada como qualitativa e com técnica de estudo bibliográfica, conclui-se que os objetivos do trabalho foram alcançados e que as hipóteses foram confirmadas. Observou-se que o planejamento de longo prazo do processo sucessório é essencial para preparar o sucessor, a família, a empresa e a sociedade, e assim garantindo uma transição suave e a longevidade da empresa. Ainda é possível observar que não existe um modelo universal que seja aplicado a todas as empresas, pois cada empresa tem suas peculiaridades.

O biodiesel e o etanol são os dois produtos com maior destaque na Agroenergia. Ambos apresentam vantagens ambientais em relação ao uso dos combustíveis fósseis, contribuindo para o alcance das metas anuais de redução de emissões de gases causadores do efeito estufa para a comercialização de combustíveis e em consonância com a Política Nacional dos Biocombustíveis, o RenovaBio. Nos últimos anos a indústria do biodiesel cresceu apoiada na elevação obrigatória da porcentagem de mistura no diesel, elevando a pressão por terras para cultivo da soja, que é a principal matéria prima do biodiesel brasileiro. Neste contexto, este estudo analisou o uso da macaúba como matéria prima para o biodiesel, de modo a contribuir com a matriz agroenergética brasileira. O estudo é exploratório e descrito por utilizar da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, descrevendo os objetos de estudos e seus contextos, visando relacionar fatos, dados, contextos e teoria para explicar a importância da biodiversidade da matriz energética brasileira, ampliando o uso da cadeia produtiva da macaúba para a produção de biodiesel.
Geografías selectivas y valoraciones capitalistas en el ordenamiento territorial del agua rural: el caso de Santa Marta, Colombia
Authors: Valdés-Pereira Juliana , Pérez Martínez Manuel Enrique
Published: June 2023

Este artículo describe las valoraciones y objetivos sociales que guían la planeación en el acceso, uso y control del agua en zonas rurales a partir de las proyecciones del Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial (POT) de la ciudad de Santa Marta (2020-2035), Colombia. El argumento principal es que el agua en el POT (2020-2032) es vista como un recurso que provee servicios ambientales que soportan la actividad humana cuyo uso debe regularse desde un marco institucional para el abastecimiento -principalmente- de espacios urbanos. Estos mecanismos impactan la planificación del manejo del recurso hídrico y marginan las acciones de aprovisionamiento de las zonas rurales. Este trabajo se realizó a través de una metodología cualitativa, en la cual se revisó información documental, se rastrearon los actores implicados y se exploraron datos histórico-institucionales sobre el manejo, uso y demanda del recurso hídrico en Santa Marta desde finales del siglo XX hasta la actualidad.

Limitar para deliberar: un homenaje a la Dra. Graciela Vidiella
Authors: Abal Federico German
Published: June 2023

Graciela Vidiella ha dedicado parte de su producción académica a indagar sobre la idea de una democracia deliberativa. En el marco de dicha indagación, Vidiella sostuvo que existe una incompatibilidad entre la idea de razón publica defendida por John Rawls y la concepción deliberativa de la democracia. Dicha critica deliberacionista contra la propuesta rawlsiana puede desagregarse en tres tesis: tesis del autogobierno procedimental, tesis sobre el uso crítico de la razón y tesis sobre el trato desigualitario. El presente artículo argumenta en contra de dichas tesis y en defensa de la compatibilidad de la idea de razón publica rawlsiana y la democracia deliberativa.
Literatura y ética
Authors: Lariguet Guillermo
Published: June 2023

En este trabajo me propongo realizar un homenaje a la obra filosófica de Graciela Vidiella. Con este objetivo en mente, me concentro en su trabajo “Imaginación literaria y virtudes ciudadanas”. En esta investigación, Vidiella sostiene -con cierta cautela- que la lectura de textos literarios puede hacernos mejores personas. El aporte moral crucial de la literatura sería desarrollar en sus lectores un sentido de la justicia, la tolerancia, la solidaridad y el pensamiento crítico En relación al pensamiento crítico, defiendo la idea según la cual Vidiella vincula su razonamiento con el liberalismo de tipo rawlsiano. A continuación, propongo un modo alternativo de entender el pensamiento crítico de la mano de aportaciones de un teórico de izquierdas como Herbert Marcuse que estaba preocupado por dotar a la humanidad, a través precisamente del arte, de un sentido crítico respecto de una cultura hegemónica.
¿Qué tipo de formación humanística serviría (y cuál no) para favorecer el florecimiento de una ciudadanía democrática virtuosa?
Authors: Elgarte Julieta
Published: June 2023

Siguiendo a Martha Nussbaum, Graciela Vidiella argumenta que las humanidades están llamadas a cumplir un rol importante en la promoción de la ciudadanía virtuosa que es tan crucial para la salud de nuestras democracias. Este trabajo pretende aportar al proyecto de promover una ciudadanía virtuosa reuniendo tres reflexiones sobre el tipo de educación humanística del que cabe (y el tipo del que no cabe) esperar un aporte significativo en ese sentido. Argumentaré, en primer lugar, que una educación humanística que esté a la altura de tal propósito, no puede ser concebida ni practicada como un bien Veblen. Sostendré, en segundo lugar, que una formación humanística que busque promover las virtudes cívicas necesita apoyarse en una concepción integrada del conocimiento que lo entienda como parte de la sabiduría y reconozca la centralidad del conocimiento vivo frente al conocimiento inerte. Por último, señalaré la importancia de diseñar las tareas formativas y los instrumentos de evaluación con vistas a entrenar a los estudiantes en las habilidades requeridas para el pensamiento crítico y propondré una herramienta idónea a tal efecto. De estas tres maneras, intento aportar algunas precisiones sobre el tipo de educación humanística del que cabe (y el tipo del que no cabe) esperar contribuciones significativas de cara a fomentar el desarrollo de una ciudadanía virtuosa.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, social investment has become a tool for solving economic problems, improving the level and quality of life of the population, increasing life expectancy, leading to conditions for creating new environmentally friendly jobs, expanding the availability of social services, medicine and education, as well as a mechanism for redistributing temporarily free funds between business entities. Active implementation of the social investment mechanism based on the experience of developed countries in the direction of the efficient use of financial resources will lead to the growth of sustainable socio-economic development of Kazakhstan. In the course of the analysis, the authors found that a decrease in the population's monetary income, that is, the level of well-being, a characteristic increase in consumer spending, a decrease in purchasing power, as well as a propensity to save money, require the speedy introduction of social investment mechanisms in order to improve the quality of life of the population of the regions of Kazakhstan to prevent possible social threats. Social investment for the sustainable development of the economy involves the effective interaction of subjects in the process of providing financial resources in order to solve social problems and obtain material benefits for investors.
Utilization of Multitemporal Land Cover Data and GIS for SWAT-Based Sedimentation and Runoff Modeling in the Lasolo Watershed, Indonesia
Authors: YASIDI Farid , KHAKHIM Nurul , MARDIATNO Djati , KURNIAWAN Agung
Published: June 2023

Sedimentation and surface runoff are two vital processes occurring in a watershed, and calculating the constituent transports of sediments and surface water is the initial step in planning. This research was intended to model surface runoff and sedimentation temporally (2008, 2013, 2018, and 2021) on hydrological response unit (HRU) and subwatershed levels for the Lasolo Watershed in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a physically based hydrological modeling instrument, was selected for the simulation using these input data: SRTM DEM, land cover, soil type, and several climatological data sourced from ERA5, NASA GLDAS, and the NASA POWER Project. Results showed fluctuating surface runoff and sediment yield throughout the simulation time frame. The mean surface runoff peaked at a capacity of 216.6 mm/year in 2013, and the mean sediment yield was also the highest this year, 10.8 tonnes/ha/year. In 2021, there was a significant reduction to 18.2 mm/year for surface runoff and 0.91 tonnes/ha/year for sediment yield. Simulations suggested that the watershed’s surface runoff capacity is directly proportional to the sediment yield produced.

Enhance sustainability and environmental protection awareness: agency in Chinese informal video learning
Authors: Huang Ting
Published: June 2023

Protecting the environment is an important topic. In this study, college Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) students engaged in an agentive process of informally learning the Chinese language and culture by watching The Mermaid, a movie produced in China in 2016, which focuses on sustainability. Informal learning is recognized as one of the most powerful factors in Foreign Language (FL) development (Furlong and Davies 2012). Limited research on informal CFL learning from watching online videos is available (Huang and Lammers 2018). By using key ideas of agency, mediation, and internalization in SocioCultural Theory (SCT), this qualitative case study found that informal video learning from watching The Mermaid was helpful for learning vocabulary, grammar, and cultural values in sustainability topics. By means of semi-structured interviews, observations, recalls, and documents as data, the findings suggest that using real-world movies such as The Mermaid as an environmental sustainability topic had a positive impact on FL education. Demonstrating their agencies, learners engaged in vocabulary, grammar, and cultural value learning. This study offers pedagogical implications for language learning in Higher Education. Language Centers can therefore play a role in engaging campuses in social topics such as environmental protection.
Aspiring multilinguals or contented bilinguals? University students negotiating their multilingual and professional identities
Authors: Pirhonen Hillamaria
Published: June 2023

An increasingly multilingual working life expects university graduates to possess multilingual competences, but at the same time many European students study fewer languages than before. As they learn about field-specific linguistic practices and contemplate their future, university students negotiate their identities as language learners and future professionals. Supporting them in acquiring a multilingual identity would be beneficial as it is a strengthening factor in language learning. Since they study towards a profession, it is likely that students examine language learning from the viewpoint of a working life. From these premises, Finnish social science students were interviewed as a part of a course that supported their readiness to work in multilingual environments. The purpose was to investigate how they negotiated their multilingual and professional identities and how these negotiations intersect. The data was examined from a poststructural perspective, analysing identity negotiations by means of positioning theory. The results show that the students constructed their linguistic identities primarily in relation to English competences, often positioning themselves as “contentedly bilingual”. The data also revealed an “aspiring multilingual” identity negotiation which, however, echoed societal ideologies on language learning rather than describing the students’ internalised beliefs. Students’ certainty of their future profession was often connected to a confidence in speaking English and a critical stance towards the need for multilingual competences. Multilingual identity negotiation was hence connected to prevailing discourses and professional aspirations. The study provides new perspectives on university students’ multilingual and professional identities and suggests pedagogical solutions that can support their development in Higher Education language teaching.
The effect of collaborative activities on tertiary-level EFL students’ learner autonomy in the Turkish context
Authors: Turan-Ozturk Demet , Ozkose-Biyik Cagri
Published: June 2023

This quasi-experimental study investigates the effects of collaborative activities on tertiary-level EFL students’ learner autonomy in Turkey. To achieve this aim, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected with the help of a learner autonomy questionnaire, index cards filled out by the students, the instructor’s journal, and an interview with the instructor of the experimental group. Two groups of 40 students in total from the preparatory program of a central Anatolian university were appointed as experimental and control groups. The results of the quantitative data analysis revealed that, after the implementation of collaborative activities in three consecutive weeks, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of their autonomy level; the students in the experimental group scored higher than those in the control group, which implies that they showed more autonomous skills in areas such as motivation, curiosity to learn, risk-taking, problem solving and decision making skills to improve learning. The results of the qualitative data analysis revealed that collaborative activities employed in this study (e.g., problem-solving activity, role-play, games) allowed participants to learn from each other, and gain a sense of responsibility. The overall results suggested that collaborative learning practices could be implemented to help EFL students increase their learner autonomy level. Additionally, curriculum and assessment methods of educational institutions might be revised to include more collaborative activities.
Institutionalised autonomisation of language learning in a French language centre
Authors: Chateau Anne , Molle Nicolas
Published: June 2023

The UFR Lansad (Language centre teaching languages to specialists of other disciplines) was created in 2014 at the University of Lorraine. The process leading to its creation was led by a small number of teachers and researchers, from the pre-existing teams of the previous Lorraine universities (Molle et al. 2019). It is the result of didactic reflection and expertise, which convinced the University board to set up a structure dedicated to foreign language teaching. After several evolutions, the newly-created structure positioned itself as a policy maker in language teaching. Finally, the university board asked the UFR to set up a language training model that could be implemented throughout the institution. This training model involves blended-learning systems that emphasise the concepts of self-directed learning and autonomy and gives a central role to the EDOlang platform and the self-access centres since “part of the research and practice on learner autonomy is situated in self-access language learning settings” (Chateau and Tassinari 2021: 53). After a brief history of the creation of the UFR, the article focuses on this model, inspired by research carried out within the CRAPEL team (Guèly et al. 2021; Holec 2000). It also describes how the model is the result of the dissemination of innovative training courses implemented through action research over the last ten years (Chateau and Zumbihl 2010, 2012; Chateau and Bailly 2021). Furthermore, the paper explains how the institutional recognition of the training framework illustrates the need to promote a strong link between research and training.
Digital storytelling as practice-based participatory pedagogy for English for specific purposes
Authors: Morgado Margarida , Vesala-Varttala Tanja
Published: June 2023

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teachers in Higher Education struggle with introducing variation and meaning into courses, while addressing 21st century skills development for global employment markets. Digital storytelling in its many forms constitutes fertile ground for engaging students while learning the specific academic and professional languages for their fields of knowledge, through using English as a lingua franca (ELF). The article presents and discusses a pedagogical framework for digital storytelling (DST) that promotes purposeful learning through EFL in two different contexts, in Portugal and Finland. The framework consists of five storytelling steps: (1) research and audience insight; (2) concept design; (3) scripting and storyboarding; (4) digital production; and (5) publication and engagement. The framework was piloted during the 2021–22 academic year with two first-year Business English classes in Office Management and one second-year ESP class in Tourism Management in a Portuguese Polytechnic as well as with an advanced-level ELF class in International Marketing and Communication in a Finnish University of Applied Sciences. Learning through DST provided students with rich opportunities for engagement and interaction, while also developing their skills in language and communication, storytelling, teamwork, digital literacy, and critical thinking. The DST framework has the potential to promote purposeful learning and empower students as active participants in media culture.
The story of becoming an autonomous learner: a case study of a student’s learning management
Authors: Šindelářová Skupeňová Martina
Published: June 2023

When asked about the impact of language advising sessions that our students attend, they report various positive effects. These sessions are a crucial part of the English Autonomously course at Masaryk University. As they were introduced to support students in their self-regulated learning, they should primarily foster course attendees’ abilities to manage their learning. This paper is based on research on how one-on-one meetings with an advisor function as a pedagogic tool and investigates whether advising sessions contribute to the development of students’ learning management skills by examining a case study of one student’s experiences. The investigation uses data collected from multiple sources – advising session recordings, a student’s self-assessment, and his reflective texts; a feedback form indicating how students perceive language advising is used for triangulation. Since the materials gained were coded and analysed using qualitative methods, their interpretation should enable a proper insight into his language learning, and thus, create a case study. This case study reveals various types of relationships between advising sessions and the student’s various metacognitive subskills, that is, planning, monitoring, and evaluating learning. The study attempts to portray the student’s ability to manage his learning as a dynamic, inter-rational and context-based phenomenon that is perceived and manifested in multiple ways.
IoPT integration on the factory floor: a case study
Authors: Raschendorfer Alexander , Frühwirth Thomas
Published: June 2023

Digital transformation affects many aspects of our everyday lives. This paper focuses on challenges and opportunities in the area of factory automation. It presents the layout and components of the Pilotfabrik Industrie 4.0 of TU Wien as an example of a modern, flexible, and highly digitized smart factory. Furthermore, the paper presents use cases that were implemented based on the available IoPT devices in the Pilotfabrik Industrie 4.0. The first use case aims to improve product quality by detecting chatter – a vibrational phenomenon in machine tools – and taking appropriate countermeasures. The second use case tries to predict tool breakage by closely monitoring the power consumption of the machine tool and, thus, reducing the probability of damaged products.
An investigation of multistream plate-fin heat exchanger modelling and design: a review
Authors: Alyaseen Nazar Oudah Mousa , Mehrzad Salem , Saffarian Mohammad Reza
Published: June 2023

In line with population expansion and industrial development, the world’s energy consumption has been rising gradually over the past three decades. As a result, methods for energy conservation have been sought. One of the most common strategies is heat recovery, which is efficient and cost-effective to the extent possible. Heat recovery is not just about saving energy for primary consumption; it is also about lowering emissions and protecting the environment. In this respect, one of the most important strategies for heat recovery is to develop heat exchangers and exploit the energy associated with many of the processes’ output products in order to use it in new processes. Many researchers working in the field of heat engineering are now looking into novel heat transfer techniques. Use of the heat exchanger as a compact is one of these ways that might be considered. The current review therefore concentrates on the design of plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHE) and multi-stream plate-fin heat exchangers (MSPFHE) based on various models. The current review offers some suggestions for upcoming studies on improving heat transfer and minimizing power use.

Published: June 2023

Die Hekatompedoninschriften (IG I34) gehören in verschiedener Hinsicht zu den wichtigsten Zeugnissen der spätarchaisch-frühklassischen Geschichte Athens. Der Artikel konzentriert sich auf ihre Bedeutung für die Topographie und die Baugeschichte der Akropolis, vor allem für den Tempel der Athena Polias und für die möglichen Vorgängerbauten des Parthenon. Er arbeitet die Aussagen heraus, die aus dem fragmentarischen Text selbst vor allem aus sprachlichen Gründen erschlossen werden können, und ermittelt auf diese Weise einen eigenständigen Befund. Dieser lässt sich dann mit anderen Befunden der Archäologie und Baugeschichte konfrontieren, ohne dass er von vornherein durch bestimmte Deutungen und Hypothesen von dieser Seite her (mit)bestimmt ist.
Iohannes Augustus. Biografía de un emperador maldito
Authors: Jiménez Sánchez Juan Antonio
Published: June 2023

En el presente trabajo se estudia la figura del emperador Juan (423–425), un soberano considerado como un usurpador por las fuentes de la época así como por la mayor parte de la bibliografía que se ha ocupado de su persona. Se analiza su posible carrera anterior a su nombramiento como augusto de Occidente, las circunstancias de su ascenso al trono, las principales claves de su gobierno, su derrota a manos de Bizancio y su ejecución. Para ello, se realiza una lectura crítica de la documentación conservada (narraciones de carácter histórico, textos legislativos, inscripciones y monedas, entre otras categorías documentales). Asimismo, las principales obras historiográficas que han tratado acerca de Juan son examinadas también con un espíritu crítico a la luz de la información que nos proporcionan dichas fuentes, por lo que algunas de sus afirmaciones son matizadas cuando no directamente rechazadas. La conclusión de este estudio es que Juan fue un emperador que llegó al poder de manera legítima; su destronamiento a manos de Teodosio II fue el resultado de la tendencia cada vez mayor hacia una política de sucesión dinástica (pese a que esta no tenía una base legal); tan solo tras su muerte, Juan fue considerado un usurpador por parte de las fuentes pro teodosianas, una consideración que se ha transmitido a la historiografía posterior.
Drafting the
Bibliotheke
. Diodorus Siculus’ Writing Process
Authors: Dudziński Andrzej
Published: June 2023

The article offers a new perspective on the organization of Diodorus Siculus’ process of writing the Bibliotheke Historike. By analyzing passage 1.4.6 and fragment 40.8 in terms of both the vocabulary used and their function within the narrative, the article argues for the interpretation that Diodorus created an extended draft of his work (hypothesis) before dividing it into individual books. This interpretation is further strengthened by the analysis of the compositional features of the Bibliotheke. The analysis of the distribution of material between the books suggests that Diodorus in general had a very good idea about the amount of space he needed for different periods. At the same time, the presence of the unfulfilled declarations concerning the missing material suggests that the division has been made before the work has been brought to completion. Proposed interpretation is also congruent with what we know about the ancient authors’ writing process.

The article argues that the final division into books, taking place after the unauthorized publication of some books referred to in 40.8, constituted a defining point for the Bibliotheke as we know it. Such a perspective opens various possibilities, e.g. that after making the final division, Diodorus was no longer constrained to work in chronological order. It also opens a possibility that the Bibliotheke was not as close to being finished as it is usually assumed.
The Roman Revolution: ThePax Romana
Authors: Shaw Brent D.
Published: June 2023

The creation of the Roman Peace involved technical and quantitative developments in a particular type of political rule that produced the appropriate imperial subjects. It also involved concepts of what thatpaxwas to be and how it was to function. These ideas, in turn, demanded new kinds of subjectivity that conflicted with the strong concepts of freedom enjoyed by the citizens of a city-state. The following essay attempts to investigate the development of the intertwining strands of subservience and peace in the middle Republic and their fruition in the transition to the Principate. The core concern is one raised by Momigliano: How did this sea change in political identity affect the mentality of the new subjects of empire?
Apokolokyntosis
und
De clementia
: Neros Prinzipat und Senecas Kommentar
Authors: Meier Mischa
Published: June 2023

Der Beitrag untersucht den historischen Kontext der von Seneca verfassten Schriften Apokolokyntosis und De clementia und seinen Niederschlag in den Texten. Beide Werke wurden in einer Phase politischer Unsicherheit und hoher Spannungen verfasst. Es wird die These vertreten, dass diese angespannte Situation sich in den Texten spiegelt. Der Verfasser sah Nero offenbar bereits unmittelbar nach seiner Thronbesteigung kritisch und versuchte ihn nicht nur in De clementia, sondern auch in der Apokolokyntosis auf den Senat und seine Ideale zu verpflichten sowie eindringlich zu warnen. Gleichzeitig war Seneca offenbar darum bemüht, vor seinen senatorischen Standesgenossen seine Nähe zum princeps zu rechtfertigen.
Early postoperative CRP predicts major complications following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)
Authors: Kartik Akash , Müller Catharina , Acs Miklos , Piso Pompiliu , Starlinger Patrick , Bachleitner-Hofmann Thomas , Grotz Travis E.
Published: June 2023

Objectives

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with significant postoperative complications. Early detection of at-risk patients may lead to improved outcomes. The role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting postoperative complications has only been recently investigated.

Methods

Postoperative complications were categorized according to Clavien-Dindo classification and further divided into minor (Grade <3) and major complications (Grade ≥3A). Absolute CRP counts (mg/L) on postoperative days (POD) 1–7, and proportional change in CRP was compared and the area under (AUC) receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was calculated. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Significant findings were externally validated.

Results

Twenty-five percent of patients experienced one or more major complications. A CRP level of ≥106 mg/L on POD 2 and 65.5 mg/L on POD 4 were significantly associated with an increased risk of major complications with an AUC of 0.658 and 0.672, respectively. The proportional increase in CRP between POD 1 and 4 (ΔCRP POD 1/4) at a cut-off of 30 % had the best AUC of 0.744 and was the only independent risk factor for major complications (p<0.0001) on multivariate analysis. ∆CRP had an AUC of 0.716 (p=0.002) when validated in an independent database.

Conclusions

CRP can be used in a variety of ways to predict major complications after CRS and HIPEC. However, the ∆CRP POD 1/4>30 % is the best indicator of major complications. Serial CRP measurements in the early postoperative period may lead to early detection of patients at risk of major complications allowing for alternative management strategies to improve outcomes.
BaTiO3/CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts: design, construction and a novel application for the photocatalytic degradation of oxytetracycline hydrochloride
Authors: Yu Chuan , Wang Shifa , Zhang Jing , Gao Huajing , Chen Xiangyu , Yang Hua , Fang Leiming , Chen Xiping , Yi Zao , Li Dengfeng
Published: June 2023

A polyacrylamide gel method combined with low temperature calcination technology has been developed to synthesize the BaTiO3/CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts, which were formed by hybriding the large BaTiO3 particles and fine CeO2 nanoparticles with varied mass percent of CeO2. Various characterization methods have been used to determine the phase structure, functional group information, elemental composition, microstructure, optical and photocatalytic activity of BaTiO3/CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts. The introduction of CeO2 into the host lattice of BaTiO3 does not change the optical band gap value (Eg = 3.20 eV) of the host lattice. As expected, the BaTiO3/CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts exhibit highly enhanced and CeO2 composition-dependent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of oxytetracycline hydrochloride under simulated sunlight irradiation. The BaTiO3/5 wt% CeO2, BaTiO3/10 wt% CeO2, and BaTiO3/15 wt% CeO2 showed lower photocatalytic activity, while BaTiO3/20 wt% CeO2 showed highest photocatalytic activity (96.89 %) over the single component BaTiO3 and CeO2 photocatalysts with the initial oxytetracycline hydrochloride concentration, photocatalyst content and irradiation time were 100 mg/L, 1.5 g/L and 120 min, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of BaTiO3/20 wt% CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts is ascribed to the cooperation between Ce3+ and Ce4+, improved charge transfer and separation of electron-hole pairs generated on irradiation with simulated sunlight and proper amount of surface defects or oxygen vacancies on the BaTiO3/CeO2 heterojunction photocatalysts.
A new chemosensor doped sol gel for Thorium(IV) determination
Authors: Elabd Amira A. , Elhefnawy Olivea A.
Published: June 2023

Herein, Diferuloylmethane (Curcumin) doped in a sol-gel thin film was introduced as a Thorium Th(IV) chemosensor. The suggested chemosensor exhibits a substantial decrease in fluorescence signal upon exposure to an aqueous solution containing Th(IV). To learn more about the coordination mode, sites, and quantum properties, computational work was done using the density functional theory (DFT). A lower predicted formation energy for the curcumin/Th(IV) complex (−9.57 × 104 eV) than for the free curcumin (−3.42 × 104 eV) has been found. While the dipole moment of the free Curcumin was 9.7955 debye, that of the Curcumin/Th(IV) complex was 40.6876 debye, which was greater. This implies that Curcumin and Th(IV) are well-coordinated. The suggested chemosensor can detect Th(IV) ion in aqueous solution throughout the range of 1.0 × 10−8 to 9.0 × 10−7 mol L−1, at pH 5, with a lower detection limit (LOD) of 2.50 × 10−8 mol L−1 and a lower quantification limit (LOQ) of 7.58 × 10−8 mol L−1. The effects of interference ions were investigated. Applications for determining Th(IV) directly in real samples produced findings that exhibited good agreement with results from inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The suggested chemosensor indicated outstanding performance features for Th(IV) including selectivity, long-term response stability, and high repeatability.
From Progressivism to Conservatism: The Social Policy of the Hungarian Association of Industrialists (GyOSz) In the Era of Dualism and After World War I
Authors: Deák George
Published: June 2023

attitude towards a broadening of suffrage changed from progressive ones in the period of Dualism to conservative ones in the Horthy Era. Applied methods. Literature review including the author’s 1980 dissertation and subsequently published works on the topic by him and other authors. Outcomes. The GyOSz, many of whose members were of Jewish origin, sided with progressive groups in promoting a broadening of suffrage and some social policy measures in the period before World War. They did so in hopes of building an urban alliance that opposed the economic policies and antisemitism of the agrarian interest groups. Shocked by their experience during the latter months of Károlyi’s republic and especially the Soviet Republic in 1919, the industrialists of the GyOSz threw their full support behind the conservative Horthy regime rather than making cause with the Social Democrats for progressive reforms. They did this to their peril since the Horthy regime initially promoted antisemitism and later was unable to contain it. Many members of the GyOSz suffered from the antisemitic laws and the subsequent Holocaust at the end of World War II.
Emigration from the Old Empire to Hungary in the 18th Century as Being Reflected by Contemporary Communication
Authors: Fata Márta
Published: June 2023

This contribution is not about the causes and reasons of emigration from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation to the lands of the Hungarian Crown in the18th century. Rather, the focus is on the question of how the contemporaries communicated about this emigration. More precisely, it is about which problems appeared to be so important to those involved in the migration process that, in certain contexts, they were condensed into metaphors or verbal images by way of which they could argue without the need to give more detailed reasons for their decisions and positions.23 The analysed metaphors and verbal images represent several levels of communication, such as the level of communication between Emperor and Empire, between authorities and those willing to emigrate, and between emigrants and those staying home.
The Life-Changing Travels of Loránt Hegedüs
Authors: Rab Virág
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the study. This study looks at the changing role of travel in the life Loránt Hegedüs (1872–1943). It is part of a larger psychobiography of that important figure whose career spanned the Era of Dualism and the Interwar Period. The purpose of this study is to collect all historical data connected to the travels of Hegedüs that might be usable in writing a psychobiography of him as well as all documents that can help us understand his view of the world. Applied methods. The sources used include published and unpublished memoirs; published descriptions of his travels that Hegedüs wrote for various periodicals; correspondence between that traveling Hegedüs and various family members, professors, colleagues, and friends; as well as official accounts of travels that he undertook as part of his professional duties. Besides these. the paper will make use of sections in his fictional works whose theme is travel as well as photographs. Outcomes. We conclude that travel, along with other factors, especially his relationship to his godfather, the writer Mór Jókai, helped make the widely travelled Hegedüs more liberal than his class contemporaries. It also helped him to maintain his mental and physical health under extremely pressured circumstances.

Authors: Zsindely Borbála Rózsa
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the study: The study is about the small mills of the Völgység region on the border of Baranya and Tolna between 1885 and 1939. The study is a description as the research is still in its early stages and it focuses on the former mills of the Vízvölgy, concretely on five settlements along the Völgységi stream. Applied methods: The study examines the characteristics of the region's milling industry from the aspects of both natural geography and technical development. The mills of the era by each settlement are described based on technical and historical analysis and those working water mills are highlighted, which were unique in their time. The main sources were archival material from the period of the area's water management and the cultural engineers’ description and drawings. Outcomes: The study closes with summary of the main social-historical conclusions about the former small mills of the Vízvölgy from the point of view of the communities concerned.
Social Relations in the Region along the River Drava in the Age of Dualism
Authors: Szabó Máté
Published: June 2023

In my research, I examine how the population lived in the area of the manors along the river of Drava, which I have already examined in terms of their economic and operational characteristics, changed and transformed during the era of dualism. This period was a specific and interesting period in Hungarian history in many ways, since, in addition to rapid economic development and population growth, serious social structural changes also took place. The study focuses on the population and social structure of the population living there. I point out that the population of the settlements along the Drava grew relatively quickly during this period, so it did not cause a problem that the inhabitants have migrated in masses, to the American continent or to the Slavonia region.) My study of the occupational structure established that the region changed slowly. This region largely preserved its traditional social model, which was largely based on peasant farming. Apart from some changes in Barcs and a few other settlements, agriculture remains the basic characteristic of the region.
Exploring the mind-body connection from puberty to the interSEXtion of eating disorders and reproductive health: What mental health providers should know
Authors: Myszko Olga , Torga Ana Patricia , Lawrence Devon , Rosenthal Leslie A.
Published: June 2023

Eating disorders have potential to significantly impact growth and sexual development, particularly when associated with malnutrition. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which dictates puberty and sexual maturation, including bone growth, is sensitive to metabolic changes such as those in eating disorders. Consequences may include pubertal delay/arrest, stunted growth, weakened bones, menstrual changes, impotence, sexual dysfunction, infertility, or adverse pregnancy outcomes. The physical and psychological impacts of eating disorders can also affect intimate relationships and sexual satisfaction. Visits to mental health providers offer an opportunity to assess the development and reproductive health concerns of patients with eating disorders. The purpose of this article is to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and morbidities of the reproductive sequelae of eating disorders and to educate mental health providers on when to refer patients for further medical evaluation.
Welcome to our world: Lessons that the mental health community can learn from sex education advocates
Authors: Biundo Jennifer , Chester Jessica
Published: June 2023

School-based instruction and services can effectively support both reproductive and mental health for youth, complementing family and community efforts. Though favored by a large majority of families, school-based sex education can engender controversy, and recently, mental health advocates have begun to face similar challenges around topics such as social-emotional learning and school-based counseling services. This article provides an overview of the emerging trend of opposition to school-based mental health instruction and services, which shares many similarities with opposition to sexual health instruction. In light of these trends, cross-sectoral partnerships in support of health education become all the more crucial. Additionally, the mental health community can benefit from lessons learned by sex education advocates.
Autism Spectrum Disorders: There Remains a Place for Psychodynamic Psychiatry through Neuroplasticity, Emotion Regulation, Caring Connections, and Hope
Authors: Singletary William M. , Rice Timothy
Published: June 2023

There remains a role for psychodynamic psychiatry in the care of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Contemporary psychodynamic models are uniquely positioned to integrate today's neurobiological understandings of ASD with the subjective experience of those with ASD. Historical psychodynamic formulations of ASD struggled to appreciate the interrelatedness of biological, psychological, and social complexities in individuals with this disorder. Emotionally experienced or “illusory” environmental deprivation, early life stress, and allostatic overload, along with biological factors, current stress, and neuroplasticity, drive maladaptive coping and lead to difficulties with relationships. Fears of caring emotional connections are related to self-protective isolation and other maladaptive efforts to regulate emotions, shutting out what the child needs most—parents’ love and help. In a nonlinear way, maladaptive emotion regulation further interferes with the development of the social brain. Thus, a psychodynamic defense-oriented focus upon adaptive emotion regulation provides a therapeutic avenue. Helping build the child's capacity for adaptive emotion regulation, which includes letting others help, can lead to a sense of safety and promote caring connections, a positive outcome. The authors offer guidance in the treatment of individuals with ASD in accordance with contemporary understandings of the disorder and care.
