Bundesgericht bekennt sich zur freien politischen Auseinandersetzung
Authors: Schwaibold Matthias
Published: May 2021

Vor den eidgenössischen Wahlen vom 18. Oktober 2015 erschien auf den Ausgaben verschiedener Zeitungen ein Kleber mit dem Text: “Für einige statt für alle”, “Wählt A______!”, “Steuerbares Vermögen 12,3 Millionen. CHF, steuerpflichtiges Einkommen 0.-CHF”, mit einem zusätzlichen Verweis auf eine Webseite. Die Nationalrätin A. (die damals dennoch gewählt wurde) reichte eine Ehrverletzungsklage ein. Der Fall endete vor allen Instanzen mit einem Freispruch. Das Bundesgericht hat in seinem Urteil betont, dass in der politischen Auseinandersetzung eine strafrechtlich relevante Ehrverletzung nur mit Zurückhaltung anzunehmen sei. Der für die Interpretation eines Textes ausschlaggebende “Durchschnittsleser” wird erstmals als “Rechtsfigur” akzeptiert, auf die zur Bestimmung des Sinnes einer Äusserung abgestellt wird. Das Urteil ist inkonsequent abgefasst, aber es ist ihm im Ergebnis vorbehaltlos zuzustimmen.
Das Amtsgeheimnis im Spannungsfeld des Öffentlichkeitsprinzips
Authors: Thalner Caroline
Published: May 2021

Auf Bundesebene fand im Jahr 2006 ein Paradigmenwechsel vom Geheimhaltungs- hin zum Öffentlichkeitsprinzip statt. Durch das Dahinfallen des Geheimhaltungsprinzips wird das Amtsgeheimnis neu definiert und eingeschränkt. Damit Art. 320 StGB unter dem Öffentlichkeitsprinzip das Legalitätsprinzip wahrt, braucht es eine Anpassung durch den Gesetzgeber. Innerhalb der Norm wird eine Delegation zum Erlassen einer Ausfüllungsnorm benötigt, die entweder Verweise auf die relevanten Spezialgesetze oder die tatsächlich geheimen Informationen beinhalten müssen. Nur so kann die notwendige Rechtssicherheit in der Praxis hergestellt werden und dem Öffentlichkeitsprinzip zum Durchbruch verholfen werden.
«Entschuldigung» als klagbarer Anspruch ?
Authors: Meili Andreas
Published: May 2021

Die Frage, ob ein Medienschaffender gerichtlich dazu gezwungen werden kann, sich bei der Person zu entschuldigen beschäftigt zurzeit die Zuger Justiz im Fall Spiess-Hegglin gegen Ringier. Der Autor analysiert die einschlägige schweizerischen und deutsche Judikatur und Literatur und zeigt auf, dass gegen einen Entschuldigungsanspruch insbesondere grundrechtliche Argumente sprechen. Niemandem soll mit staatlichen Mitteln eine Meinung aufgezwungen werden. Zudem sei es problematisch, wenn das Recht den Boden der Objektivität verlasse und sich auf den unsicheren Grund subjektiver Gefühlsbekundungen begebe.
Sachgerechtigkeit und Mängel als Nebenpunkte
Authors: Sidler Oliver
Published: May 2021

In zahlreichen Fällen beschäftige sich die unabhängige Beschwerdeinstanz für Radio und Fernsehen UBI im Berichtsjahr 2018 mit der Verletzung des Sachgerechtigkeitsgebots und der Abgrenzung zu Mängel in Nebenpunkten. Dokumentarfilme zur Geheimarmee P-26, Gesundheits- und Konsumentensendungen wie auch tagesaktuelle Beiträge der Tagesschau und Diskussionsendungen waren Gegenstand von Beanstandungen.
Rechtsprechung orientiert sich immer stärker an Strassburg
Authors: Zeller Franz
Published: May 2021

Die wichtigsten grundrechtlichen Fragen freier Kommunikation werden seit längerer Zeit eher in Strassburg entschieden als in Lausanne. Das Berichtsjahr 2018 unterstreicht diese Feststellung. Die Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte (EGMR) zur Meinungsfreiheit und ihren Grenzen war 2018 ergiebig. Sie prägt (auch) das schweizerische Medienrecht tendenziell immer stärker und ist für das Bundesgericht eine wichtige Orientierungshilfe. Dies gilt etwa für das Verbot diskriminierender Publikationen und in minderem Masse auch für den Schutz des guten Rufs. In bestimmten Gebieten hat der EGMR Neuland betreten, in anderen ist er auf bekannten Pfaden unterwegs: So finden Medienschaffende in Strassburg noch immer wenig Unterstützung für Recherchen am Rande der Legalität.
Die Publikation einer „Entschuldigung“ kann ein klag- und durchsetzbarer Anspruch sein
Authors: Bertschi Manuel
Published: May 2021

Nach Ansicht des Autors kann aufgrund der bewusst offenen Formulierung von Art. 49 Abs. 2 OR die Publikation einer Entschuldigung eine „andere Art“ der Genugtuung darstellen. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass bei der Genugtuung das persönliche Empfinden der Geschädigten im Vordergrund steht. Somit könne das Recht hier gar nicht anders, als, wie Meili moniert, „den Boden der Objektivität“ verlassen. Zudem sei nicht einzusehen, weshalb die Meinungsfreiheit einem Entschuldigungsanspruch in absoluter Weise entgegenstehen solle. Einschränkungen liessen sich je nach Einzelfall rechtfertigen. In diesen Konstellationen sei die Publikation einer „Entschuldigung“ ein klag- und durchsetzbarer Anspruch.
Der Presserat ist nicht Retter, sondern Wächter
Authors: Spillmann Markus
Published: May 2021

Gerade weil der Presserat als Organ der Selbstkontrolle der Medienbranche zu wenig wahrgenommen wird, ist es unabdingbar, dass er sich mit seiner Zukunft auseinandersetzt und über Reformen nachdenkt. Die Anzahl hängiger Fälle steigt seit Jahren, deren Komplexität auch. Der Presserat ist kein Gericht mit hoheitlichen Rechten, sondern eine Institution von und für die Medienbranche in Fällen, wo es um medien- und berufsethische Fragen geht. Damit übt er eine Wächterfunktion im Journalismus aus und leistet einen unverzichtbaren Beitrag zum medialen Service Public. Es spricht nichts dagegen, dass Branche und öffentliche Hand gemeinsam zu seiner Finanzierung beitragen. Der Presserat soll wahrgenommen werden. Dafür benötigt er entsprechende Strukturen und Kapazitäten.
Medienschaffende müssen Geheimnisinteressen gut substantiieren können
Authors: Born Christoph
Published: May 2021

Ein freischaffender Publizist hatte sich in drei Kantonen unbefugterweise Zugang zu fünf Hühner-Mastbetrieben verschafft und dort Videoaufnahmen angefertigt. Im Rahmen der gegen ihn eingeleiteten Strafuntersuchung wegen Sachbeschädigung, Hausfriedensbruchs und weiterer Delikte gelangte er mit einer Beschwerde an das Bundesgericht, nachdem das Zwangsmassnahmengericht die Entsiegelung des bei ihm beschlagnahmten Materials verfügt hatte. Das Bundesgericht wies die Beschwerde ab mit der Begründung, der Medienschaffende habe seine Geheimnisinteressen nicht ausreichend substantiiert und er könne sich nicht auf den Quellenschutz berufen, da er selber Mittäter bzw. Teilnehmer sei.
Öffentlichkeitsprinzip: Hintertür Spezialbestimmungen?
Authors: Kämpfer Daniel
Published: May 2021

Das Produktesicherheitsgesetz (PrSG) sieht in Art. 10 Abs. 4 eine Aktivinformationspflicht der Vollzugsorgane hinsichtlich besonders gefährlicher Produkte sowie getroffener Massnamen und in Art. 12 eine Schweigepflicht vor. Das BVGer sieht in der kombinierten Anwendung dieser beiden Bestimmungen eine spezialgesetzliche Grundlage, die dem Anspruch auf Zugang zu amtlichen Dokumenten nach BGÖ vorgeht. Dieses Ergebnis überzeugt nicht. Die Abgrenzung von aktiver und passiver behördlicher Information, die unterschiedliche Zielsetzung des PrSG und des BGÖ sowie die notwendige Zurückhaltung bei der Prüfung von möglichen Spezialbestimmungen zum BGÖ legen ein anderes Ergebnis nahe.
Chilling effect im Schweizer Medienkontext
Authors: Schweizer Michael
Published: May 2021

Der Autor untersucht, ausgehend von zwei Schweizer Fallbeispielen, das Strassburger Verständnis des Chilling effect im Kontext der Medien. Dabei zeigt er dessen doppelte Bedeutung als Zulässigkeitsvoraussetzung sowie als wichtiger Aspekt bei der materiellen Beurteilung auf. Strafrechtlich begründete Massnahmen gegen Medien(schaffende), insbesondere die Aufhebung des Quellenschutzes, öffnen regelmässig den Weg für eine Beschwerde beim EGMR. Dasselbe gilt für zivil- und öffentlich-rechtliche begründete Massnahmen, die mit Schadenersatz oder vergleichbar handfesten Nachteilen für Medien(schaffende) verbunden sind. Unklar ist die Ausgangslage bei Feststellungsurteilen, wie sie im Rahmen der Schweizer Programmaufsicht regelmässig ergehen. Gemäss einem neueren Urteil sind qualifizierende Umstände erforderlich, damit sich ein hinreichend konkreter Chilling effect entfaltet.
Auf bekannten Pfaden, auf Neuland und auf Irrwegen
Authors: Zeller Franz
Published: May 2021

In wichtigen kommunikationsrechtlichen Bereichen haben das Bundesgericht und der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte (EGMR) 2019 ihre Rechtsprechung verfeinert. Dies gilt etwa für den Zugang von Medienschaffenden zu öffentlichen Einrichtungen (Aufnahmezentrum für Asylbewerber) und für die menschenrechtlichen Anforderungen an die Sperrung des Zugangs zu angeblich rechtswidrigen Online-Inhalten. Über weite Strecken vermochten die richterlichen Begründungen zu überzeugen. In einem Schweizer Fall geriet der EGMR allerdings auf dogmatische Irrwege.
Shastrabhyasa â€“A Research avenues in surgical aspects of Ayurveda
Authors: Kashyap Sowjanya J.
Published: May 2021

â€œMany of the surgical procedures explained in texts are primitive, raw and are having practical difficulty. Thus we need to update rediscovered aspects and find few new things in surgery in Ayurveda.â€ Sushrutha Samhitha gives detail knowledge about surgical aspects in Ayurveda, where Agropaharaneeya adhyaya of Sushrutha Samhitha Sutra Sthana is considered as gist for the surgical procedures. Surgical aspects of Ayurveda emphasizes on Trividha karma which includes pre and post operative measures along with main surgical procedures. Concept of Anesthesia, Antiseptics and Antibiotics, Disinfectants, Sterilization of operation theater, Ashtavidhashastrakarma, different kinds of suturing materials are explained in an effective manner. It also emphasizes on Ksharakarma, Agnikarma, Raktamokshana, Raktaskandanopayas, concept and management of Vrana, different kinds of instruments, Sandhana, Bandhana, Asthi-Sandhibhagna and its management and various other surgical aspects, regarding which many researchâ€™s based on literature, clinical and experimentation have been conducted and proved effective. For an instance, in case of Arshas and Bhagandara, Ksharakarma has been proved to give better results rather than mere surgery. In case of wound, researchâ€™s shows tremendous effects by Ayurvedic management. The types of Suture materials as absorbable/non absorbable and synthetic/natural which were been described are taken as base in contemporary science. Even though there are ample of research avenues in surgical aspect of Ayurveda few aspects which are challenging and where we are lagging are Pre and Post Operative procedures. Hence a literary work with experimentation and its clinical implementation is highly necessary.
Abele Indigenous Musical Genre in the Context of Yeji Kajoji Festival
Authors: E.O. Acquah , J. Owusu-Ansah
Published: May 2021

The role of indigenous musical performances in traditional festivals has been very significant in the lives of Africans. In Ghana, some of such festivals are pivoted on particular distinctive natures of the indigenous music. One of such musical genres is the Abele music performed by the people of Yeji in the Bono-East region of Ghana. This music is formalized in the context of the Kajoji festival celebrated annually by the community. Through ethnographic research design, the study documents the role of Abele music in the context of the Yeji Kajoji annual festival. The reason is to add to the literature of traditional music scholarship in Ghana while the source materials from the music can be used in the music classroom for music learning. In dealing with the study, participant’s observation and interview were used to collect the needed data. Participants for the study included some purposely selected members of the Abele musical ensemble as well as the paramount chief of the area. It was found out that the Kajoji festival is a very vital mainspring of the traditional education and the remit of the people’s culture while the Abele music serves as the side attraction of this festival.
Information Literacy and Women Empowerment for National Development: The Role of First Ladies in Nigeria
Authors: M. Afolabi , O. Adeyemo
Published: May 2021

Information literacy, the ability to access and utilize essential information empower women’s participation in national development and helps them to gain control over their lives. It is key to development and it promotes social inclusion by empowering people to seek and use the information to achieve their goals. It helps women to utilize available resources at their disposal to the best of their ability to achieve optimum results. Women economic empowerment and information literacy cannot be assessed without considering the economic inequality in Nigeria. Women empowerment is the means of reducing women's vulnerability and dependency in all areas of life. Women in Nigeria especially in the rural areas have been neglected, subjected and exposed to poverty with no means of supporting themselves. This paper looks at how information literacy and empowerment can raise the standard of living of women and the role and impact first ladies have played in empowering these women and going forward, how information literacy and women empowerment programmes can be better structured and sustained to further improve their living conditions and the socio-economic development of the nation.
Improving the patient's experience in the emergency department during COVID-19 pandemic: a community-based analysis from Western Saudi Arabia.
Authors: Banjar Khadijah , Bin Nafisah Sharafaldeen
Published: May 2021

Background Patient satisfaction is an important measure of the health care encounter. It is challenging to achieve a perfect patient experience during the current COVID-19 pandemic, especially from an emergency department visit. Aim This study aimed to assess the factors that improve patient experience during an emergency department (ED) visit in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, conducted over a month from January to February 2021. Via an electronic survey tool, we used the de en (EQS-H) to measure patients’ satisfaction with their ED encounter. Results The total level of satisfaction was high in 43.66% (n=224) of participants, moderate in 37.04% (n=190), and 19.29% (n=99) were unsatisfied. We noted significant predictors of dissatisfaction, including increasing age, higher educational level, and the existence of chronic diseases. A clear treatment plan and discharge instructions were important determinants for improving patient satisfaction. Conclusion The determinants of patient satisfaction during an ED visit are an important quality marker of the emergency department encounter. Such findings should be used as a benchmark for future programs aiming to improve patients’ experience during ED visits.
Patient Satisfaction with the Emergency Department Experience in the Era of COVID-19: A National Survey
Authors: Banjar Khadijah , Bin Nafisah Sharafaldeen
Published: May 2021

Background Patient satisfaction with an ED visit is often overlooked during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and requires further examination. Aim We aim to investigate, on a national scale, patients’ satisfaction during their ED encounter, and to explore the determinants of such satisfaction. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis conducted between January and February 2021 throughout Saudi Arabia. Result The total number of patients was 508. The median satisfaction score for the clarity of information provided in the ED was 40 (SD=4.94), while satisfaction with the relationship with staff and ED routine revealed a median score of 39.9 (SD=5.08). We noted several determinants of ED satisfaction, including age, marital status, educational status, clarity of the treatment plan, improvement of their condition while in the ED, verbal and/or written discharge instructions, as well as a follow-up call two days after discharge. Conclusion Patient satisfaction is an integral part of the patient-centred approach in the ED, and should be continuously evaluated.

Authors: Malawi Imtinan , Alsohabani Thamer , Aleidan Mashael , Al shahrani Nawa , Karairi Adel , Mzahim Bandr , Bin Nafisah Sharafaldeen
Published: May 2021

Background: Temperature screening checkpoints have become widely distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic, using various contactless methods of temperature measurement, including wrist and forehead measurement. Aim: In this study we aim to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of these two temperature measurement methods – wrist and forehead – compared with the standards of sublingual or axillary measurement. We also aim to investigate the influence of age, gender, device brand and diurnal effect on the temperature reading. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, each group using a different temperature measurement device. All participants had their forehead and wrist temperature measured, and this was compared to their axillary or sublingual readings. Results: The area under the curve for wrist measurement was 0.49 (95% CI 0.34 and 0.64), p>0.05, with a sensitivity of 46.2% and specificity of 53.3%, while the area under the curve for forehead measurement was 0.70 (95% CI 0.51, 0.89), p<0.05, with a sensitivity of 23.1% and specificity of 76.9%, PPV 1.59% and NPV 97.7%. Conclusion: Wrist and forehead temperature measurement is not accurate in detecting fever during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Although forehead measurement is also not an ideal method, it nevertheless appears more consistent than wrist measurement.
The Prevalence of COVID-19 in Jizan Region-Saudi Arabia: A Demographic Analysis
Authors: Sahli Seham , Bin Nafisah Sharafaldeen
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND The unrelenting pandemic of the SARS CoV2 (COVID-19) pleads for re-examining predictors of infection and containment measures, once again. AIMS The researchers aim to investigate the prevalence of COVID-19 in Jizan region to analyse the demographic details of the population, to examine the quarantine predictors and the prescription of zinc and azithromycin. METHODS The researcher reviewed the Jizan region data obtained from the Ministry of Health of Saudi  Arabia and performed a cross-sectional study from September 1st, 2020 - September 29th, 2020. The researchers surveyed people from the same region to collect and analyse demographic and quarantine data. RESULTS The total number of positive cases was 11,752 patients in the  Jizan region since the start of the pandemic. The prevalence of infection is 0.84% with a mortality rate of 1.73% (n=257). Out of 328 participants, 46.4% (n=148) acquired the infection with an admission rate of 1.6% (n=5). We noted two predictors for infection in the region: female gender and being married. Furthermore, males were more likely to be admitted than females and irrespective of age and chronic diseases. The quarantine after contact with a probable case or after travel showed an inverse relationship with the age; and in particular young females stratum, p <0.05. One third received zinc supplementation, whereas the majority 82.4% was not pre- scribed azithromycin. CONCLUSION Overall, the researchers provide a region-specific analysis that uncovers important infection determinants for COVID-19 infection, which should be taken into consideration when designing and implementing health promotions programs.

Reclaiming Death Acceptance in the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Botîlcă Cristina-Mihaela
Published: May 2021

In a modern twenty-first-century Western society that extracts its values from youth culture and the fear of aging, death phobia becomes a real issue that needs to be addressed. This study aims to present some of the reasons why death became a taboo subject, why modern man fears death, and how cultural sensitivity can lead to a state of death acceptance, all while the death positivity movement is gaining traction. Keeping in mind that the complex paradox of today is fear of inevitability, let us try and name some of the roots of this problem and what we can do to ease the interaction with death.
Nostalgia of the Beginnings
Authors: Popescu Andreea
Published: May 2021

Henry David’s Thoreau book Walden recreates in a literary form the period that the author spent in the woods near Walden Pond. Being a transcendentalist influenced by Emerson’s philosophy, Thoreau reiterates the essential role that nature has in the spiritual and moral development of man. In Walden the author describes a return to a primordial age in which man lived in a state of wonder before the beauty of the universe and in a permanent communion with it. The sacredness of nature is rendered through ritual gestures that accompany man on his road to revelation. Thus, the period of time spent by Thoreau near Walden Pond acquires the qualities of an initiation during which man rediscovers his self and undergoes a spiritual awakening.
21(Im)Possible New Beginnings in Ali Smith’s “Spring”
Authors: Muresan Dorel-Aurel
Published: May 2021

Ali Smith’s novel depicts the gloomy state of post-Brexit England by focusing on the lives of two main characters: Richard and Brittany. Smith intersects the paths of the two depressed and depressing characters to that of Florence, a pure and almost magical child, insisting on the idea that opportunities of new beginnings are constantly granted to people, as long as they are willing to change. Far from being a fairy tale, “Spring” is a serious novel about harsh realities, thus, not all the characters receive a happy ending. However, Ali Smith’s novel encourages us that as we take advantage of the chances given and we accept the constancy of change, we are the ones that actually become a fairy story.
The Origins of Recycled Films
Authors: Bodoni-Dombi Tünde
Published: May 2021

At the beginning of cinema, in his early twentieth-century research the Soviet director and film theorist Sergei Eisenstein developed his theory of associative montage “1+1=3.” Nowadays, new methods have been added to this theory. These variables include the creative re-use of allusions to film history. In contemporary cinema, when a new archive film uses sequences from cinema heritage, it quotes from the past and can activate visually and content-wise complex cultural memories. In these films, the successive placement of two sequences, beyond their association, creates new associative meaning, thus, it calls forth metacinematic associations. This additional meaning is the imprint of cinematic heritage. Final Cut by György Pálfi and Péter Lichter’s works make use of the archives of cinematic heritage through a reinterpreted film language, attempting to create independent, innovative works of art. They use the same starting point, based on a directorial concept, but the two attempts resulted in completely different motion pictures. Due to the approach at the basis of their conception, these films illustrate both the linear, i.e., the archetypal narrative film representation and the nonlinear narration. However, these films are not only defined by the scenes they are compiled of, but also bear the particularities of the original motion pictures, referring to and going far beyond the individual characteristics of the scenes themselves. Despite being linear narrative films, the cinematic rhetoric of neither motion picture is continuous but associative - they bring into play layers of film culture. Overall, Eisenstein’s formula can be extended in the following way: 1 afs (archive film sequence) + 1 afs (archive film sequence) = 3 mca (metacinematic associations).
“Eternity roll’d wide apart”: The Creation of the World and Man in William Blake’s The [First] Book of Urizen in Light of Emanuel Swedenborg’s The Last Judgment
Authors: Spalovszky Csaba József
Published: May 2021

Beginnings are usually regarded as either hard or energizing times that set our inner world in motion. However, there is a beginning that is more important for humanity than any other: the origin of human life and of the world. The knowledge of our origin and the mystery concerning the beginning of the world have been the most intriguing and most engaging issues since man became aware of their own physical and spiritual existence. For many centuries, it was the duty of religion to provide humanity with a teaching about their origin and the foundation of human dignity. However, the 18th and 19th centuries were critical in the treatment of the biblical creation stories in Europe. The debate between misinterpreted creation myth accounts and scientific theories led to a sharpening confrontation between religion and science, but it also divided the believers and resulted in the birth of new theories. Emanuel Swedenborg, an influential theologist of the period, wrote detailed commentaries and genuine tractates related to the topic that influenced the ideology and art of William Blake, a versatile and ingenious artist and thinker of the era, whose influence is still significant today. The aim of this study is to highlight the parallels and contrasts between Blake’s Genesis myth and Swedenborg’s teachings, mainly through the unusual pairing of The [First] Book of Urizen and The Last Judgment, to show the connection between Swedenborg’s unorthodox views and Blake’s ideas about the creation of man and the world.
Douglas Murray's The Madness of Crowds
Authors: Tomoiagă Ligia
Published: May 2021

Douglas Murray, the author of The Strange Death of Europe (2017), and The Madness of Crowds (2019; 'expanded and updated edition' in 2020), is one of the leading journalists and authors in Great Britain in the fight of the centre-conservative intellectuals against the 'woke' ideologues. His latest book deals with four of the most controversial issues of today's 'identity ideology': Gay, Women, Race and Trans, showing that such unstable concepts cannot be the solid ground for any serious conversation, or for the social edifice. On the contrary, they are treated in such a way that the danger of totalitarian states is no longer unconceivable; what is more, with the cancel culture of today, it is more likely than not that it will cause a serious backlash in the future, which may reverse some of the advancements of the fight for rights of all kinds.
Gender Provocation Made by Marcel Duchamp
Authors: Házas Nikoletta
Published: May 2021

This essay examines the gender aspects in Marcel Duchamp’s conceptual oeuvre, which have long been partially or completely neglected in the Duchamp literature. The analysis focuses on the well-known readymade, called Fountain (1917/64), which became the symbolic object of the very beginning of the conceptual art paradigm. My hypothesis is that Duchamp’s conceptual work, mixing up the logic of circular arguments with humor and irony, can be interpreted as an ‘avant-la-lettre’ gender provocation, confronting interpreters not only with a gender task —understanding and defining our social gender roles, tasks and desires facing the already existing possibilities given in our social surroundings— but also with an over-gender task that goes beyond the understanding of our biological endowments and given social gender roles and positions. Hence, on the one hand, this early gender provocation, carried out by the Fountain of Marcel Duchamp performing ironic aesthetic value judgments —modeling the structure of logical selfcontradictions—encourages gender awareness; on the other hand, —by setting up premises leading to senseless conclusions— it creates a gender trap.My argument is that the interpretation of this gender trap, modeled by the Fountain at the beginning of the 20th century —in the lack of an over-gender awareness— can result in reductions, denying the complexity of our human existential and co-existential roles and neglecting the over-gender roles and positions of human beings as autonomous and yet co-existentially related individuals.
Beginning of Typographic Installation and Contemporary Graphic Creativity
Authors: Kozak Selma
Published: May 2021

Beatrice Warde’s crystal goblet has changed the perception of typography and typographic expression in the print and online media since it was published. “Bear with me in this longwinded and fragrant metaphor; for you will find that almost all the virtues of the perfect wine-glass have a parallel in typography” (Warde,1956, p. 1). Since 1932, when Warde introduced type and typography as a ‘crystal goblet’, typography has evolved significantly, and probably in the fastest way with the contributions of technological improvements and printing technologies. Typography has proliferated in the early decades of the 20th century as an essential and highly visible aspect of modern art and design. It has also became a production practice in post-modern art in the middle of the 20th century and early 21st century. As it is known, text is not new to art and avant-garde and so is typography. With postmodernism, the usage of text, type and typography in post-modern art practices, contemporary artwork examples, design arts, installations and conceptual art movements blurred the boundaries between art and typograph. Especially artists and designers started to use typography in their personal expressions as a post-modern art strategy and, as a result, typography became a hybrid form to assess in 21st century art practices and also a raison d’être to convey idea, thought and message. In this paper, by using the descriptive method, I will focuse on the relationship between typographic installation and contemporary graphic creativity. In this regard, evaluating Beatrice Warde’s philosophy along with the samples of typographic installation of artists such as Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Stephen Doyle, Barbara Kruger etc. and a special museum Deportee Memorial Museum Carpi, will be helpful in order to compare the changes in the past and present approaches in typographic applications and it will be useful in order to understand today’s graphic creativity.
Radical Avant-Garde and the Obsession for a New Beginning
Authors: Gaie Ștefan
Published: May 2021

Rising in an extremely troubled context in the first decades of the 20th century, the so-called radical avant-garde (especially Futurism, Dadaism, Suprematism and Constructivism) obsessively pleaded for a ”new beginning”, a real ”restart” of art. Its discourse, both theoretical, of the avant-garde manifestos, and visual, aimed at giving alternatives for what were meant to become the new benchmarks of art history.

We know today that the face of art definitely changed as a result of the avant-garde assaults. Even if the effects of this radicality faded in the past century, they are still evident. This study is intended to understand this radicality within the context of its occurrence, to find some of its constants and to follow its effects upon contemporary art, in order to attempt to understand to what extent we can speak about  a success or a failure of the avant-garde.
"Temporary Couples" among Chinese Migrant Workers in Singapore
Authors: Yang Wei
Published: May 2021

The article examines temporary extramarital cohabitation arrangements between low-wage Chinese female migrants and their male counterparts in Singapore, a phenomenon which is widely referred to by the migrants as becoming a "temporary couple" or "teaming up to have a life." In the simulated
households, the men usually shoulder most of the daily expenses for both members, while the women are expected to take care of the men's intimate needs and most of the housework. The vast majority of the women involved in such arrangements are married and migrated for work on their own. This
article, based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2016 and 2019, explores how these women perform and understand such temporary intimacies. I first demonstrate that the women enter the relationships as a reaction to the institutional setup that places them in a suspended status, in
which they are treated as nothing more than temporary labourers. I then illustrate how the women put the relationship in a state of suspension: they instrumentalize it as a means to maximize savings, and mark it out as a short-term exception that will end abruptly once they leave Singapore.
The structurally imposed and self-inflicted conditions of suspension limit the women's agency to an ambiguous private domain that is away from both work and home. Drawing on my long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this article deploys the notion of suspension as a guiding concept to unravel the
tensions and moral anxieties that the women experience with their temporary intimacies.
Documenting China's Garment Industry: Wang Bing's Portrayal of Migrant Workers' Suspended Lives within the Contract Labour System
Authors: van der Meulen Sjoukje
Published: May 2021

This essay examines two films by the Chinese documentary filmmaker Wang Bing about temporary migrant workers in small, privately owned garment workshops in Zhejiang Province, China: Bitter Money (Ku Qian; 2016) and 15 Hours (Shi Wu Xiao Shi; 2017). Wang's
films portray Chinese garment workers' lived experiences of "suspension," as defined by Biao Xiang in this issue, in unique cinematic ways. Social sciences have paid close attention to the experiences of migrant workers, but art documentaries use audiovisual and aesthetic means to explore
their everyday reality, producing what D. MacDougall calls distinctive "affective knowledge." Wang's films are usually categorized as part of the Sixth Generation of Chinese filmmakers, known for capturing social issues through observational methods. In this essay, I identify Wang's works
with the aesthetics of "slow cinema" and a global documentary trend in the visual arts as theorized by T. J. Demos in The Migrant Image. Based on close observation coupled with empathetic insight, Wang develops his own subjective method to portray people in a transformed and still changing
China, where suspension is a common state of being. Ultimately, Wang's films not only make the personal experiences of migrant workers visible and tangible, but also problematize their underlying, collective condition of suspension due to the contract labour system and associated hypermobility.
The suspension approach suggests a productive way of bringing documentary art and social sciences into dialogue.

COMPARISON THEOREMS FOR A NONLINEAR THREE-TERM EQUATION
Authors: LIU SHU TANG , CHENG SUI SUN
Published: May 2021

It is well known that qualitative properties of special classes of difference equations can be inferred from their associated "characteristic equations." By means of limit type compar­ ison theorems, we may then deduce qualitative properties for related but perhaps more general classes of difference equations. In this paper, positive solutions of a class of nonlinear difference equations are shown to exist by means of such a scheme.

ON SOME SUBCLASSES OF CLOSE-TO-CONVEX FUNCTIONS OF ORDER $\alpha$ TYPE $\delta$
Authors: NOOR KIIALIDA lNAYAT , HENDI AWATIF A.
Published: May 2021

Let $Q_\lambda^*(\alpha, \delta)$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ in the unit disc $E$, with $f(0)=0$, $f'(0) =1$ and satisfying the condition
\[Re \left\{(1-\lambda)\frac{zf'(z)}{g(z)}+\lambda\frac{(zf'(z))'}{g'(z)}\right\}>\alpha,\]
for $z\in E$, $g$ starlike function of order $\delta$ ($0 \le \delta \le 1$), $0\le \alpha \le 1$ and $\lambda$ complex with Re$\lambda\ge 0$. It is shown that $Q_\lambda^*(\alpha, \delta)$ with $\lambda\ge 0$ arc close-to-convex and hence univalent in $E$. Coeffiicient results, an integral representation for $Q_\lambda^*(\alpha, \delta)$ and some other propertie of $Q_\lambda^*(\alpha, \delta)$ are discussed. The class $Q_\lambda^*(\alpha, 1)$ is also investigated in some detail.

In this paper it is shown that $G$ can be decomposed into $p$ copies of $C_4$ and $q$ copies of $C_8$ for each pair of nonnegative integers $p$ and $q$ which 8atisfics the equation $4p+ Sq = |E(G)|$, where $E(G)$ is the number of_edges of $G$, when
(1) $G = K_{m, n}$ the complete bigartite graph, if $m$ and $n$ are even,
(2) $G = K_{m, n}-F$, $K_{m, n}$ with 1-factor removed, if $m = n \equiv 1$ (mod 4), and
(3) $G = K_{m, n}-(F \cup C_6)$, $K_{m, n}$,with 1-factor and one 6-cycle removed, if $m = n \equiv 3$ (mod 4).

Authors: Szkwarko D. , Amisi J. A. , Peterson D. , Burudi S. , Angala P. , Carter E. J.
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Early recognition of TB symptoms in children is critical in order to link children to appropriate testing and treatment. Healthcare workers (HCWs) in high TB burden countries are often overburdened with competing clinical priorities, leading to incomplete presumptive
TB screening. We assessed if implementing a community health volunteer (CHV) led presumptive pediatric TB mobile android application (PPTBMAPP) in pediatric outpatient, primary care clinics in western Kenya would be feasible, appropriate, and effective.METHODS: We used a mixed-methods
participatory, iterative approach to design and implement the PPTBMAPP during a 6-month period. We compared the proportion of children identified in presumptive TB and active TB disease registers out of all patients before and after the implementation of the intervention.RESULTS:
Of the 1787 children aged ≤15 years screened using the PPTBMAPP, 376 (21%) met the criteria for presumptive TB. There was a statistically significant increase in the proportion of children to all patients in the presumptive TB registers (97/908, 10.7% vs. 160/989, 16.2%; P = 0.0005),
and a trend towards an increase in the proportion of children to all patients in the TB case register (17/117, 14.5% vs. 15/83, 18.1%; P = 0.5). HCWs interviewed commented that the application sped up the presumptive TB screening process.CONCLUSION: Our CHV-led mobile screening
intervention significantly increased presumptive TB notification. HCWs reported that the mobile screening intervention was feasible, appropriate, and effective.
Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of childhood TB identified using active and passive case finding
Authors: Ikeda S. , Cruz A. T. , Starke J. R.
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Childhood TB cases can be found using passive case finding (PCF), i.e., by diagnosing children presenting with symptoms, or using active case finding (ACF), i.e., by identifying children with TB through contact tracing. Our study determined epidemiologic, clinical,
and radiographic differences between these groups.DESIGN/METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of children aged 0–19 years diagnosed with TB from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2019 at a U.S. TB clinic, comparing clinical, radiographic, microbiologic, and epidemiological characteristics
of children identified using PCF and ACF.RESULTS: Of 178 eligible patients, 99 (55.6%) were diagnosed using PCF. Children identified using PCF were older (mean 8.9 vs. 6.1 years, P = 0.003), more often non-US-born (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.12–4.67), had more extrapulmonary
disease (44.4% vs. 3.8%, OR 20.27, 95% CI 5.98–68.64) and severe intrathoracic findings (39.4% vs. 10.1%, OR 5.77, 95% CI 2.50–13.29). Children identified using ACF were often asymptomatic, had isolated hilar/mediastinal adenopathy, but had more availability of drug susceptibility
data from a link to a source case.CONCLUSION: Children identified using PCF had more severe manifestations, while those identified using ACF had greater availability of drug susceptibility data. Clinicians should be aware that clinical and radiographic presentations in children
identified using PCF and those identified using ACF differ, and that the latter may be eligible for shorter treatment regimens.

BACKGROUND: Drug resistance poses a major barrier to global control of TB – a leading infectious cause of death. Depression and stigma occur commonly among people with TB. However, the relationship between drug-resistant forms of TB, depression and stigma are not well understood.OBJECTIVE:
To compare depression, stigma and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), among people with drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB).METHODS: A cross-sectional study of people treated for DS-TB and MDR-TB in four provinces of Vietnam. The survey included a
stigma scale (Vietnamese Tuberculosis Stigma Scale), depression scale (9-item Patient Health Questionnaire) and HRQoL scale (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Tuberculosis). Differences between the two populations were compared using linear regression.RESULTS:
Eighty-one people with DS-TB and 315 people with MDR-TB participated in the study. People with MDR-TB had a higher prevalence of depression than those with DS-TB (difference 17.8%, χ2 8.64). The mean depression and stigma scores were higher for people with MDR-TB than those
with DS-TB (adjusted difference [AD] 8.6 and 7.6 respectively). People with MDR-TB reported lower HRQoL than those with DS-TB (AD –23.8).CONCLUSION: Depression and stigma are common among people with TB in Vietnam. Strategies to prevent and treat depressive symptoms and stigma
in people with TB are critical to a holistic, patient-centred approach to care.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Improving adherence to anti-TB treatment is a public health priority in high-income, low incidence (HILI) regions. We conducted a scoping review to identify reported determinants of non-adherence in HILI settings.METHODS: Key terms related to TB, treatment
and adherence were used to search MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO and CINAHL in June 2019. Quantitative studies examining determinants (demographic, clinical, health systems or psychosocial) of non-adherence to anti-TB treatment in HILI settings were included.RESULTS:
From 10,801 results, we identified 24 relevant studies from 10 countries. Definitions and methods of assessing adherence were highly variable, as were documented levels of non-adherence (0.9–89%). Demographic factors were assessed in all studies and clinical factors were frequently assessed
(23/24). Determinants commonly associated with non-adherence were homelessness, incarceration, and alcohol or drug misuse. Health system (8/24) and psychosocial factors (6/24) were less commonly evaluated.CONCLUSION: Our review identified some key factors associated with non-adherence
to anti-TB treatment in HILI settings. Modifiable determinants such as psychosocial factors are under-evidenced and should be further explored, as these may be better targeted by adherence support. There is an urgent need to standardise definitions and measurement of adherence to more accurately
identify the strongest determinants.
