Authors: Rampinini Anahi Verónica , Zeolla Nicolás Hernán , Mondino Lisandro
Published: May 2021

En el presente trabajo, se tiene como objetivo evaluar el impacto de la política de administracióncomercial, particularmente las licencias no automáticas (LNA) y la declaración jurada anticipadade importación (DJAI), sobre las elasticidades del precio e ingreso de las importaciones en Argentina,con base en microdatos de aduana, para los sectores muebles, calzado y prendas de vestir entrelos años 2003 y 2015. Se comprueba que, a partir de la intensificación de estas medidas en 2008,y posteriormente en 2012, tanto las LNA como la DJAI redujeron las elasticidades en promedio paratodos los sectores afectados, del ‒1,13 al ‒0,2, en el caso de la elasticidad del precio, y del 4 al2,5, en el caso de la elasticidad del ingreso. Se corrieron test de cambio estructural y proyección deescenarios alternativos para dar robustez a la estimación. Esto implica que las medidas de políticacomercial implementadas fueron instrumentos efectivos para moderar el crecimiento de las importacionesen la fase de recuperación del ciclo económico poscrisis internacional.

Mechanized processes of plant protection from pests, diseases and weeds are one of the main components of intensive technologies used for the cultivation of agricultural crops. The analysis shows that agricultural organizations are currently equipped with mechanization means of chemical plant protection by 8.7% of the scientifi cally grounded standard, recommended for our country. Therefore, the market for equipment for chemical plant protection in Russia is currently very attractive for product promotion and production development. At present, Russian enterprises manufacture sprayers, but the designing and manufacturing of new equipment for plant protection in most cases are carried out without taking into account the modern achievements of domestic and foreign science, international standards, technological and environmental requirements. Using the example of the European Union countries, the authors point out the need to improve Russian legislation in the fi eld of plant protection and control of the technical ondition of sprayers, as well as to develop regulatory documents and approve regulations that provide for constructive, technological and environmental requirements for plant protection equipment. As further development of the production of mechanization means of plant protection is observed, the priority should be the introduction and improvement of information systems and automation of technological processes and individual systems using modern domestic and foreign scientifi c solutions aimed at improving the quality of plant protection and reducing the impact of negative factors on the environment.

The reliability of repaired engines is determined by many factors, among which the accuracy of the geometric parameters of engine parts plays an important role. Errors in the shape and location of the surfaces of parts cause additional acceleration of moving parts and reduce the accuracy of kinematic pairs. Violation of the movement kinematics of parts leads to a deterioration in the technical performance of the engine. In this regard, increasing the level of metrological control of shape deviation and surface location is one of the ways to improve the quality of engine repairs. Analysis of the measurement tools recommended in the reference literature has shown that they were chosen irrespective of the controlled values and without taking into account the type of measurement. The purpose of this study is to develop recommendations for improving metrological control of deviations in the shape and location of surfaces of parts during engine repairs. The paper provides theoretical grounds for choosing the criteria for selecting measuring instruments to control deviations in the shape and location of the surfaces of parts, taking into account the relevant formula. The result of indirect measurement and the measurement error (deviation of the shape and location of the surfaces of parts) are considered random values functionally related to the measured values (diameters of a part). The limits of permissible measurement errors and measurement tool errors are determined to control the deviation of the shape and location of the surfaces of new engine parts and parts subject to troubleshooting. The authors have carried out a comparative analysis of the obtained values with the error values of measuring instruments recommended in the reference literature. It has been established that most of the recommended measuring instruments have an error greater than the allowed measurement error. To reduce the risk of accepting parts that exceed the deviation norms relating to the shape and location of surfaces, it has been suggested using special criteria when selecting measuring instruments.

Published: May 2021

Ultrafine particles and nanoparticles in the air are evaluated as a risk factor for the development of respiratory and other healthsymptoms due to their inhalation from the ambient air. The Czech Army professionals are expected to have frequent presence in apolluted environment and regular exposure to air with increased concentration of airborne pollutants. The report evaluates the presenceof ultra-fine particles (in the range of about 7.6–299.6 nm) in rooms often used by soldiers during their working hours whenthey are not deployed. The purpose is to assess whether the presence of troops in these workplaces is safe and does not pose a riskof adverse health effects in itself. Testing took place in three military rooms (classroom 1, classroom 2 and exercise flight simulatorroom). Seven samples of air were analysed in time by the scanning mobility particle sizer in succession. Mean particle concentrationswere found at 1.79×104, 7.53×103 and 8.39×103 N·cm-3 for the classroom 1, classroom 2 and exercise flight simulator room.Conclusions of the research have shown that particle concentrations in the places of the Czech Army can reach values that borderthe immission limits stated by the World Health Organisation.

The article focuses on the intensification of raw barley grains initial purification and separation processes before the subsequentprocessing in the area of brewing. Above all, it deals with the physical and mechanical concepts of the purification and separationof qualitatively satisfactory grains from undesirable impurities, e.g. coarse impurities, as the prevention from the potential damageof milling and scrapping facilities. Four different cultivated barley species were tested within the study. Physical and mechanicalparameters were determined in all samples, for instance powder density, angle of internal friction and external friction angle withsteel contact material, particle size distribution and morphology. The first results of measuring revealed the difference in the qualityof initial entering component of barley grains before the purification process compared to the output quality of grains after machinepurification and separation processes in the facilities determined for the subsequent grain storage. As a result of the non-effectiveprocess of separation, the final quality of the product, i.e. the beer, may be affected by the qualitative parameters of partial processesinvolved in treating barley grains.

Helping asthmatic children through bonding therapy
Authors: Antonio Madrid , Nicholas Bennett
Published: May 2021

Disruptions in Maternal-infant Bonding are shown to be the mediating variable between maternal distress and the subsequent expression of childhood asthma. When the mothers’ bonding is repaired, their children’s asthmatic symptoms diminish or remit. This study evaluated 16 asthmatic children before and after their mothers were treated with Bonding Therapy. Fourteen improved on 11 measures, including reduction in the STEP classification system and medication use. Thirteen children were able to stop all medications. Surprisingly, all mothers scores on the Beck Depression Inventory improved through Bonding Therapy, suggesting that impaired bonding can lead to maternal depression or even Postpartum Depression. The link between bonding disruptions and airway inflammation are discussed. Bonding Therapy is described.
Psychotropic drugs prescription block the positive effects of the doctor-patient communication and relationship
Authors: Jose Luis Turabian
Published: May 2021

The fact that general practitioner (GP) or psychiatrist understands the psychosocial effects of prescribing on the doctor-patient relationship is as important, if not more so, than knowing pharmacology. Any prescription of drugs modifies the doctor-patient relationship. Drugs, especially psychotropic drugs, act on symptoms and change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; they can create both physical and psychological dependency; they can discourage a deep search for real solutions, both on the part of the doctor and the patient; they can affect the doctor’s access to the patient and the problem will be out of their reach. Psychotropic drugs can make the effect of the doctor in himself as a drug more difficult, favor an insignificant or problematic or little human relational context, where the GP/psychiatrist does not delve into the true meaning of the symptoms, and the patient tends not to get involved, to make an emotional withdrawal, to be passive before the prescribed drug, and can result in the chronification and structuring of functional symptoms that become organic, with lack of cooperation of the doctor and the patient, and paradoxically with over-compliance or therapeutic discontinuity and the lack of pharmacological adherence, absences to appointments or delays or cancellations of visits, and the denial of responsibility of both the doctor and the patient.
Ambivalent sexist attitudes of young adolescents from the province of Jaén: Regarding the use of sexual and/or pornographic content on the internet
Authors: María José Calero García , Ana Raquel Ortega Martínez , José Luis Castillo Galán , María Luisa Grande Gascón
Published: May 2021

Knowing the possible origin of sexist attitudes in adolescents is essential when educating them to avoid gender violence derived from them. Nurses have an important role in education for the health of children and adolescents, so we must study the risk factors that lead to these attitudes and how to prevent them. Some studies such as Landripet, et al. have undertaken to study the association between frequency of pornography use and preference for violent and coercive content in male adolescents. Sexism and pornography use have been associated by various authors. Hostile sexism is the most obvious and traditional form, based on the supposed inferiority or difference of women as a group. According to benevolent sexism, women are understood as deserving of affection, respect and protection, as long as they are limited to certain traditional feminine roles. The second is even more difficult to detect. Our aim in this work is to evaluate ambivalent sexist attitudes in young adolescents in the province of Jaén and check whether there is a relationship between use of pornography and sexual content, and the kinds of sexism studied, in order to be able to prevent these attitudes as nurses through health education. The final sample was made up of 150 participants from all school years, belonging to the same secondary school, 74 male and 76 female. They were aged between 12 and 18 years old. One of the conclusions of this work has been that the use of new technologies is in addition starting at even younger ages due to the situation of online teaching due to the pandemic, and it has been observed that age at first use is a determining factor.
Living with ‘Long COVID-19’: The long-term complications and sequelae
Authors: Vinod Nikhra
Published: May 2021

Introduction - the perennial pandemic: It is being increasingly realised that the COVID-19 may have become the new reality associated with human existence world over and the mankind may have to live with it for years or even decades. Further, the grievous nature of the disease is evolving further with the genomic changes in the virus in form of mutations and evolution of variants, with enhanced infectivity and probably virulence. There are serious challenges posed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 as the disease. COVID-19 as acute and chronic disease: On exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not all patients develop a disease. Further, for those who develop the disease, there is a large variation in disease severity. The known factors including the constituent factors and several still unknown factors influence the disease manifestations, its course, and later the convalescent phase as well. In fact, substantial continuing morbidity after resolution of the infection indicates persisting multisystem effects of COVID-19. The ‘long COVID-19’ or ‘long haulers’: The patients who continue to suffer with persisting symptoms have been described as long haulers and the clinical condition has been called post-COVID-19 or ‘long COVID-19’. The diagnosis should be entertained if various symptoms and signs linger well beyond the period of convalescence in COVID-19. With the chronicity, there occur inflammatory changes and damage in various organs, and the extent of organ damage determines the long-term effects. Management of ‘long COVID’ syndrome: The ‘long COVID’ syndrome has multi-system involvement, variable presentation, and unpredictable course. Following clinical and investigational assessment, the patients should be managed as per clinical manifestations, extent of organ damage and associated complications. The findings from various studies indicate that preventing further organ damage in ‘long COVID’ is crucial. The long COVID’s prognostic challenges: As apparent, the ‘long COVID’ afflictions are more common than realized earlier. The symptoms can escalate in patients with co-morbid conditions. The persistent symptoms among COVID-19 survivors pose new challenges to the healthcare providers and may be suitably managed with a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, and holistic healthcare.

Framework for incorporating stakeholders’ preferences in lifecycle welding flux design
Authors: Ademola David Adeyeye  , Damola Emmanuel Osinubi
Published: May 2021

Welding flux design involves optimising multiple quality attributes which are often conflicting and are of varying degree of concern to the stakeholders. The attributes are often selected as design criteria and are sometimes at different levels in the hierarchy such as primary, secondary and tertiary attributes. The articulation and incorporation of the opinions of stakeholders concerning the intensity of importance attached to each attribute at all the levels in the hierarchy in the optimisation process has remained a challenge. In this study, a framework was proposed for the articulation and incorporation of the preferences of stakeholders concerning all levels of attributes and illustrated with a lifecycle welding flux design case from the literature involving 5, 21 and 25 primary, secondary and tertiary criteria, respectively. Fifteen out of the 21 secondary criteria could not be further unbundled and were added to the tertiary criteria to make 40 lowest level criteria. The subjective judgements of stakeholders were converted to weighting coefficients using the analytical hierarchy process. The coefficients for the lowest level criteria were converted to global weights which were the preference indices for use in the optimisation models. Based on the values of , moisture pick-up, extrudability and slag detachability were ranked 1st , 2nd , and 3rd respectively and the respective 38th, 39th and 40th lowest level criteria were fume generation, dilution and charpy impart strength.

Published: May 2021

Observations made in rivers of Douala showed that aquatic ecosystems receive little attention in terms of their environmental monitoring. The aim of this study was to assess the ecological status of Kondi and Tongo Bassa rivers at from their communities of macrophytes. Specifically, it was question to evaluate the physicochemestry environment of these rivers as well as the diversity of the macrophyte species. Then, the physicochemestry parameters were measured (about 50cm deep) between 08am and 11am. Concerning characterization of macrophytes, 03 transects of 400m length each were materialized. Then, 201 quadrats of 1m2 were realised to make a specific and quantitative inventory. The listed species were assigned an Abundance-dominance coefficient. Then, the diversity and resemblance indices, the abundance index, the average recovery, the Shannon index and the Piélou equitability index, the Sorensen similarity coefficient, the Shannon index and the Piélou equitability index were analysed. According to results, ammonia, orthophosphates and nitrates particularly influence the distribution of macrophytes in the Kondi and the Tongo Bassa rivers. These parameters show that the water include high organic matter loads indicating organic pollution. In addition, the plant communities encountered in these rivers were relatively rich, diversify and distributed according to a decreasing gradation of mineralization and trophy. Also, the Piélou index in these rivers was generally below 0.55 reflecting poorly diversified waters. Finally, the structure of the macrophyte reveals that it was generally dominated by a few species, including the Poaceae particulary Pennisetum purpureum species, characteristic of eutrophic environments.

Objective: This study set out to assess sex differences and seasonal variations in Pediatric Infectious Diseases (PID) admissions. Methods: One year retrospective study of PID admissions was conducted among children aged one month to 15 years. Relevant information retrieved from patients’ hospital records were dates of admission and discharge, age, sex, final PID diagnoses and outcome. Results: Of 1,035 patients’ records assessed, 603 (58.3%) were males and 432 (41.7%) females (p<0.001). Males in ages 1-12 and 13-59 months contributed largely to the gender difference. Over the 12 months period, PID admissions mean was 86.25±21.92, with rainy and dry seasons means of 92.57±20.7 and 77.4±20.9, respectively (p<0.001). Ages 13-19, 60-119 and ≥120 months had significantly higher admissions mean during the rainy season (p<0.001 in each group), while higher admissions occurred among ages 1-12months in dry season (p<0.001). Top six PID managed were malaria, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, septicemia, meningitis and typhoid, and males had higher incidence in all except for typhoid, with only malaria having significant difference (p<0.001). Malaria, septicemia and typhoid incidence were higher significantly during the rainy season, while gastroenteritis occurred more in the dry season. Overall fatality rate was 4.6%; females and males rates were 6.3% and 3.5%, respectively (p=0.661). Rainy and dry seasons mortality means were 5±1.77 and 2.6±0.8, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: Male children were more vulnerable to PID, with significant higher malaria incidence among them than females. PID incidence and mortality were significantly higher during the rainy season than dry. Malaria and gastroenteritis occurred significantly in rainy and dry seasons, respectively.

Objectives: to calculate the frequency of malaria and HIV co-infections, to describe the socio-demographic characteristics, to describe the clinical signs and to plan treatment. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study lasting 09 months from August 01, 2019 to April 31, 2020, conducted at CMC Minière (2nd level reference structure in Guinea). We carried out an exhaustive inventory of cases according to the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria. After applying the selection procedure (inclusion and non-inclusion criteria), we obtained a sample of size N = 68 cases. Results: we recorded 68 seropositive malaria patients out of a total of 1232, i.e. a frequency of 5.52%. The epidemiological profile was that of a person in the age group of 30-34 years (26.47%), Unemployed (47.06%), out of school (54.41%) and single (75%). The reasons for consultation are dominated by fever (69.11%) and physical asthenia (50%). Patients were from their homes (92.65%). The type of malaria was severe associated with HIV1 infection (55.88%). The majority of patients had an average parasite density (10,000-50000) or 54.41% and 22.06% had a CD4 count between 200-499 cells / mm3. The antimalarial and antiretroviral treatment consisted respectively of the administration of quinine 65% and AZT + 3TC + EFV or 54.41%. N.B: AZT = Zidovudine; 3TC = Lamivudine; EFV = Efavirenz; d4T = Stavudine Conclusion: Malaria contributes to an increase in the viral load in adults with positive retroviral serology, due to the lymphopenia caused during febrile attacks. This finding suggests an emphasis on malaria in people infected with HIV.

The pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery is an infrequent complication mainly after iatrogenic procedures, with an increased incidence over the last years. The aim of the current study was to present a rare case of a radial artery pseudoaneurysm that projected through the skin after a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis. A 79-year-old man, with a history of atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease on anticoagulants, was admitted to the cardiological intermediate care unit, with pulmonary oedema due to heart failure deregulation. On the next day, his left radial artery was punctured for blood-gas analysis. No other catheterization of the vessel was executed in the following days. Six days later a pulsatile, palpable mass on the skin surface, over the site of puncture, was recognized. Subsequently a Doppler ultrasound that was performed, confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm was surgically removed under general anesthesia. The patient was hospitalized for four days for trauma monitoring and intravenous antibiotics and afterwards he was discharged from the Hospital. Three months postoperatively, no sign of recurrence was observed. The pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery is an uncommon complication that might occur even after simple iatrogenic procedures, like after a direct arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis. Therefore, specialists should always be aware of this complication in similar cases.

Authors: Apampa O Ahmed  , Oseni Kehinde  , Popoola Monsuru
Published: May 2021

This research work studies the microstructure of a sandy-clay soil as it is stabilized with corn cob ash (CCA) in dosage rates of 0-3%, in steps of 0.5%, and comparing with OPC-CCA blends (2:1) and OPC alone. The aim being to study the progressive flocculation and agglomeration of the molecules of the soil, upon the addition of varying blends of CCA- OPC in small doses. The samples were taken for microstructural examination using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), and for elemental composition using the Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope (EDS). Corresponding samples of the stabilized soil were subjected to the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests. The cat-ion exchange capacity of the soil was also computed. The SEM images indicate that for the CCA stabilized soil, the lattice structure of soil molecules is most clearly defined at 1% CCA content. This is comparable to the cat-ion exchange capacity of the soil (1.17%), and also corresponds to the point of maximum UCS (313.7KN/m2). Significantly, the UCS value returned for CCA stabilized soil was higher than that for OPC alone and for the OPC-CCA blend, within the test range of this study. The paper concludes that a significant level of stabilization could be attained with this soil type, with small doses of CCA, without the need for OPC, whose effect is more pronounced at higher doses and at the pozzolanic phase.

COVID-19, also known as the ‘novel coronavirus disease 2019’, is a respiratory illness and the causative pathogen is officially named as ‘SARS-CoV-2’. Infections with SARS-CoV-2 have now been amplified to a global pandemic – as of April 3, 2020, nearly 1,018,000 cases have been confirmed in more than 195 countries, including more than 300,000 cases within the United States. Public safety guidelines are followed worldwide to stop the spread of COVID-19 and stay healthy. Despite COVID-19 is a respiratory illness with mode of invasion through the respiratory tract, not the gastrointestinal tract, an average food consumer is anxious and concerned about the food safety. Could an individual catch the deadly contagious COVID-19 from groceries brought home from the supermarket – or from the next restaurant takeout order? This brief review elucidates the epidemiology and pathobiological mechanism(s) of SARS-CoV-2 and its implications in food-borne infections, transmission via food surfaces, food processing and food handling.

Comparative study is just a comparison study, according to formal properties, function, purpose and effectiveness. The main purpose of comparative study is, to compare a particular drug of different brands with the help of their stability, efficacy and evaluation parameters. Here we compare the carvedilol drugs different two marketed. It acts as anti-hypertensive agent so, it mainly preferred for arterial fibrillation, inhibits tachycardia, prevention of stroke, heart failure, it also works by blocking a natural substance like epinephrine, which results to cause lowers the heart rate, blood pressure and strain on the heart. In comparative studies we determined their efficacy and effectivity on the basis of various in-vitro tests like weight variation, friability, hardness, dissolution and disintegration. It can be concluded that standard quality control parameters always should be maintained not only for carvedilol or its combination but also for all kinds of medicine for getting better drug products. The parameters in this comparative study between these two brands showed somewhat variation because every brand have their own method or processing or manufacturing and formulation properties. Mainly these parameters can show the different efficacy and effectivity and made them unique from each other.

Воєнні конфлікти ХХІ століття, в тому числі в Нагірному Карабасі, є свідоцтвом, яке вкотре доводить: країни, які мають “нестабільні”, спірні території зобов’язані готуватися до війни, а ретельна підготовка до проведення повітряної наступальної операції – необхідність, якою не можна нехтувати. Авіація була та залишається стримуючим фактором для країн агресорів, так більшість бойових втрат Вірменії завдані саме авіацією Збройних Сил Азербайджану. Особливістю подібних конфліктів є збільшення частки в проведенні повітряних операцій безпілотної авіації − ударних безпілотних авіаційних комплексів з ракетно-бомбовим озброєнням, що обумовлено високою ціною втрат пілотованої авіації. У роботі узагальнено висновки війни у Нагірному Карабасі для Повітряних Сил Збройних Сил України та розроблено рекомендації щодо їх підготовки до збройних конфліктів сучасності та майбутнього.

Модель процесу управління повітряним рухом на основі нейронних нечітких мереж
Authors: Мажара І.П. , Тимочко О.І.
Published: May 2021

Нейронні мережі мають ряд переваг, необхідних для вирішення задачі моделювання інформаційної системи управління повітряним рухом. Але процес навчання мережі часто відбувається досить повільно. Для прискорення процесу навчання мережі ввести будь-яку апріорну інформацію (знання експерта) неможливо. До того ж аналіз навченої нейронної мережі досить складний, зазвичай вона являє собою чорний ящик для користувача. Усунути або мінімізувати існуючі недоліки нейронної мережі здатні системи на базі нечіткої логіки, які вирішують погано формалізовані задачі і пояснюють одержувані висновки роботи системи.
Acaparamiento de tierras. Impactos Socioespaciales
Authors: Sánchez Luis
Published: May 2021

"Las discusiones en torno al dinamismo de tierras sugieren la necesidad de un cambio en enfoque para examinar con mayor detenimiento los efectos, las consecuencias y las influencias que sobre el territorio y sus habitantes tienen las dinámicas de concentración y acaparamiento de tierras. Independientemente de la escala (miles de hectáreas o solo unas pocas), la forma de posesión y/o adquisición (compra, arrendamiento, concesión, imposición), el origen de los capitales y las personas involucradas o los orígenes del fenómeno (legado histórico, leyes y políticas públicas, globalización, crisis alimenticias y liberalización de mercados), lo sobresaliente debe ser el cambio, el trastoque o el control territorial. Territorio en donde concurren recursos, personas y modos de vida. Así, encontramos que los conceptos de concentración de tierras y acaparamiento de tierras son insuficientes, pues encierran solo una dimensión de los patrones observados en las dinámicas de propiedad, uso y ocupación de la tierra. Por esta razón, en vez de replicar estos dos términos, presentamos en este libro el acaparamiento territorial. Con este nuevo término hacemos evidente la necesidad de un análisis exhaustivo de las implicaciones socioespaciales que las políticas y las dinámicas en relación con la tierra pueden implicar para las comunidades en términos de impactos, influencias y [re]significados de sus territorios y territorialidades. Por lo tanto, nuestro objetivo es ir más allá de la discusión sobre la adquisición o acumulación de tierras y recursos (y, por lo tanto, la discusión sobre la dinámica de la tierra en relación con la globalización, la inversión extranjera, la liberalización de mercados, la violencia y el control) para incluir también en el debate implicaciones socioespaciales diversas y significados que puedan crear una imaginación geográfica capaz de tener profundas influencias en la manera en que las personas y los grupos entienden su lugar en el mundo.

Política en los márgenes. Asentamientos irregulares en Montevideo
Authors: Álvarez María José
Published: May 2021

“Combinando hábilmente el análisis histórico con la investigación cuantitativa y etnográfica, y profundizando en la dinámica de la ocupación de tierras, Política en los márgenes arroja una luz muy necesaria sobre la heterogeneidad, la complejidad y la tenacidad de la política popular en América Latina. Es de lectura obligada para quienes estudian pobreza urbana, desigualdad y movilización.” —Javier Auyero, profesor del Departamento de Sociología, University of Texas, Austin “Política en los márgenes combina temas clave para comprender la relación entre la política y la sociedad en la América Latina contemporánea. Estudios con un alcance tan amplio en términos de tiempo cubierto y profundidad en el análisis de varias unidades de observación no son comunes en absoluto en la literatura de este campo.” —Rafael Piñeiro, profesor del Departamento de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, Universidad Católica del Uruguay “Política en los márgenes desarrolla una perspectiva sobre los ocupantes ilegales y la política que es sumamente necesaria: un enfoque matizado e interdisciplinario que revela tanto la heterogeneidad de la pobreza urbana como la complejidad de la política que rodea a los asentamientos ilegales. Álvarez Rivadulla analiza el caso específico de los ocupantes ilegales en Uruguay al mismo tiempo que muestra por qué este caso particular puede ser de interés para los académicos que trabajan en otros lugares de América Latina y el mundo.” —Edward Murphy, profesor del Departamento de Historia y Estudios Urbanos Globales, Michigan State University.
Pedagogia das lutas/artes marciais: Do ambiente de jogo à sistematização do ensino
Authors: Pereira Álex Sousa , Reis Fábio Pinto Gonçalves dos , Carneiro Kleber Tüxen , Scaglia Alcides José
Published: May 2021

Trata-se de uma obra com arrojado grau de originalidade e uma eloquente preocupação com aqueles que se dedicam ao exercício do ensino, notadamente no que se refere às Lutas/Artes Marciais. Sob a acepção de um livro-experiência, sua trama procura situar epistemologicamente a Educação Física enquanto componente curricular, por efeito os saberes corporais relativos às Lutas/Artes Marciais em seu interior. Na qualidade de uma literatura didático-científica, expõe conceitos sem, porém, concebê-los linearmente, já que se assentada em uma perspectiva rizomática. Adjudica ao jogo (de oposição) uma condição sine qua non para se pensar o ensino das Lutas/Artes Marciais. Com efeito, apresenta uma proposta de organização de seus saberes, a qual desestabiliza os interditos que comumente impedem sua presença no ambiente escolar. Por certo se trata de uma contribuição que fornece subsídios para se pensar e debater o mote, porquanto, quando ensinado, tem superestimado os processos formativos mecânicos e descontextualizados, em detrimento de um ensino diversificado e que produza sentido/significado ao aprendiz. Configura-se, portanto, em uma leitura aprazível e indispensável para expansão das margens formativas.
Peregrini u rimskom pravu i suvremeni migranti – povijesna konstekstualizacija aktualne
Authors: Held Henrik-Riko , Orešković Luka
Published: May 2021

U članku se analiziraju pravni položaj i postupna integracija peregrina u rimsko društvo u kontekstu aktualne problematike vezane za doseljavanje velikog broja migranata u EU. Analizirana je situacija neposredno prije donošenja tzv. constitutio Antoniniana 212. kojom su gotovo svi slobodni stanovnici države dobili rimsko građanstvo. Posebno se problematizira pravni položaj migranata i pitanje privlačnosti rimskog građanstva u različitim razdobljima. Predmet analize su i različiti načini stjecanja rimskog građanstva te posebno okolnosti navedene konstitucije. Općenito se razmatra rimska politika načelne inkluzivnosti prema strancima kao i njena ograničenja. Naposljetku je pravni položaj migranata u Europskoj uniji doveden u kontekst prethodne analize, te su obrađene potencijalno srodne okolnosti između situacije u rimskoj državi te u Uniji u pogledu aktualnih ili budućih politika vezano za pravni položaj stranaca.

Keterlibatan perempuan dalam kegiatan wisata juga menguntungkan dalam kegiatan wisata baik secara kultural maupun secara sosial ekonomi. Keterlibatan perempuan dalam kegiatan wisata akan mewujudkan kesetaraan dan keadilan dalam kehidupan berkeluarga, pengembangan kemitraan yang harmonis dengan laki-laki, menciptakan kesetaraan gender dan meningkatkan peran dan kemandirian dari perempuan (Haryanto, 2017). Mengingat peran penting yang dimainkan perempuan dalam pariwisata, penting agar mereka juga terwakili dengan baik dalam kepemimpinan pariwisata.Pendapatan perempuan dalam kegiatan wisata terkadang juga tidak menentu dan tergolong rendah karena mayoritas penghasilan didapatkan dari pembagian hasil kegiatan.Informasi yang dihasilkan akibat dari kegiatan/transaksi memiliki peranan yang penting untuk mencapai “Good Governance” (pemerintahan yang baik) dan “Good Corporate” (bisnis yang baik). Karena itu pengelolaan informasi yang efektif dan efesien contohnya dengan menggunakan arsip akan memberikan nilai tambah untuk mendukung kegiatan dan mengantisipasi hilangnya dokumen yang mempunyai nilai memori organisasi dan memore kolektif bangsa. Seperti yang kita ketahui mengelola arsip tidak sembarangan terlebih lagi karena perkembangan Teknologi informasi yang begitu pesat sangat berpengaruh terhadap pengelolaan arsip dalam pengelolaannya arsip memiliki konsep, teori, dasar – dasar, dan prinsip – prinsip kearsipan yang menjadi pijakan.
