From the Good Mistress to the Apostle of Culture. The Evolution of the Attitudes of Polish Female Landowners vis‑à‑vis the Rural Population in the Nineteenth Century

During the nineteenth century, the personal model of a Borderlands female landownerwas transformed as a result of changes that were economic (enfranchisement), socio‑cultural, and political. The Polish manor house within the Stolen Lands in the nineteenth century became a stronghold of Polish culture, Catholicism, and patriotism, effectively protecting its inhabitants against Russification. Throughout the nineteenth century, the role of the landowner’s manor house remained unchanged, but the relations between the manor and the common people were transformed. Female inhabitants of manors in the first half of the nineteenth century played the role of the “good mistress.” They took care of their subjects, organized refreshments during the holiday season, acted as philanthropists, founders of almshouses, and suppliers of “manor pharmacies.” This pattern began to change in the post‑enfranchisement era. At the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, Polish female landowners became the organizers of secret folk schools, initiated vocational courses, nurseries, and rural theatre and singing clubs. More and more educated women from the Borderlands became involved in social activities for the benefit of the countryside. In this article, I show the evolution of “female virtues” through the prism of relations between the manor house and the local community. The sources for the text are Borderland memoirs, educational publications, and surviving correspondence.
Ewolucja wzorca kobiety idealnej we Francji belle époque. Przypadek Marguerite Durand i La Fronde

The Evolution of the Model of the Ideal Woman in France of the Belle Époque: the case of Marguerite Durand and La Fronde

Although the nineteenth century, in many respects, changed France beyond recognition, with the Civil Code of 1802, it created a legal framework as strong as never before that enclosed women in a world of strictly defined roles and tasks. They were a reflection and legal sanction of the attitudes, understanding of social roles, and necessary attributes allocated to women, that were currently in operation, especially in the bourgeois French society. Any change in them took place extremely slowly, and met with resistance and considerable social reluctance. Suffice it to say, that French women did not gain full civil rights until 1938. Among the activists of women’s movements in France who provoked these changes and actively supported them, promoting new kinds of attitudes and behaviour was Marguerite Durand (1864–1936), feminist, journalist, founder and editor‑in‑chief of the daily (and later monthly) La Fronde, the first newspaper in France run by a woman and employing only women, although it did not only cover women’s issues. La Fronde became an important tribune promoting issues important for women, an advocate of legal changes, but, above all, of changes in the social perception of women, their image, their roles and tasks, their expected and required features, behaviour, and attitudes. And although this change was slow, La Fronde was one of its most important
Ewa z Rościszewskich Lorentowiczowa (1869–1943)
Authors: Berkan Krystyna
Published: December 2023

This article discusses the life and work of Ewa Rościszewska‑Lorentowiczowa, painter and book‑binder, and her relationship with her daughter, painter and stage‑designer Irena Lorentowicz. Rościszewska came from a traditional, gentry family, impoverished after the January Uprising. Although initially, like many girls in her world, she was meant to become a governess or teacher, she decided to take up an artistic training. She studied painting in Warsaw and Paris. At the same time, she started to work as a book‑binder. She did not give up her artistic career after her marriage to the celebrated writer Jan Lorentowicz (1903) or after the birth of her daughter (1904). I analyze the creative personality of Rościszewska‑Lorentowicz, her oeuvre as well as texts relating to her, especially those pertaining to family life. In the biographies of women artists, there is often information about the negative influence of the subject’s mother. If the artists themselves became mothers, they have been seen as cold, neurotic, putting art and their own careers first, to the detriment of children. The relationship between Ewa Rościszewska‑Lorentowicz and Irena Lorentowicz has been described in this way. I point out the stereotypical nature of these beliefs and the much more complex nature of the relationship between the two artists, mother and daughter.
“Improperly” Feminine: A Case Study in American Female Convicts Awaiting Execution, 1981–2019
Authors: Podciborska Anna
Published: December 2023

Women who are sentenced to death are often defeminized and dehumanized by prosecutors and the media. One of the factors influencing the severity of the punishment received is the assessment of the degree of femininity portrayed by the accused. These women are judged based on social and gender norms, stereotypes surrounding the role of women and femininity, their ability to fit into the “natural” primary social identity as mothers, and even homicidal gender norms. In cases of female filicide, the defendants often fall into three narrative identities constructed by defense attorneys, prosecutors, the media, and the public – “bad,” “mad,” or “sad” women. Those who have been sentenced to death are eventually labelled as “bad,” that is, extremely deviant from “proper” femininity. Although the “mad” and “sad” identity creations, if successful, might earn some leniency in sentencing, they still perpetuate harmful stereotypes that affect all women. The article presents an overview of 52 cases of women who received the death penalty from 1981 to 2019 in the United States. These women are perceived as “improperly” feminine.
Globalni kapitalizam – država u doba globalizma i desupstancijalizacija politike / Global Capitalism – the State in the Age of Globalism and Desupstantialisation of Politics
Authors: Hatibović Adnan
Published: December 2023

In this paper I will analyze geopolitical factors and systemic contradictions that contribute to the creation of imperialist practices. I will explain the concept of imperialism and the interweaving, as noted by David Harvey, of territorial logics and the molecular processes of capital, which points to the continued key role of the nation- state in the reproduction of the capitalist system. I will explain the multiple importance of imperialism, which is simultaneously a means of profitable realization, subjugation, systemic reparation, etc. Such a position requires re-examination of the role of the national state, its transformation and power relations within it, which opposes the views of its insignificance in the age of globalism. I will point out two conditions that generate the impotence of autonomous politics and its de-substantialization: the sub-political power of global capital, which is transformed into political influence through various mechanisms; the limitation and transcen-dence of the understanding of politics within the “methodological nationalism” that exists with the insistence on globalization. Finally, the paper touches on the responsibility and limitations of left-wing policies and their capitulation to the forces of capital.

Uplands Rural Development Programme and Investigation of the Program Process in Kastamonu Province
Authors: GÜREL Fatih , İNAN Osman
Published: December 2023

There are significant threats to the security of agricultural supply from people migrating from rural areas to urban areas due to economic difficulties and disadvantages arising from a lack of extension. However, agricultural production is strategically important for Türkiye and the most important economic activity for rural areas. People who migrate to cities prefer to stay in output if agricultural subsidies are provided to encourage production. In addition to the support of the Turkish government, it is important to benefit from the work of international organizations such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), which works in rural areas and supports the agricultural sector. IFAD is well aware of the needs of Türkiye's rural areas with 11 projects implemented with a total cost of USD 697.91 million and IFAD contribution of USD 251.84 million. In Türkiye, Uplands Rural Development Programme (URDP), financed by IFAD, supports the disadvantaged people living in rural areas. In this study, information about IFAD and its activities in Türkiye is given the ongoing URDP of the organization in Türkiye, the studies carried out in the process of including Kastamonu province in the programme, the project acceptance process in Kastamonu province and the results of the programme in Kastamonu province in 2020 when the programme was implemented for the first time in Türkiye, are examined in detail. As a result of the research, the utilisation of the fund by taking into account the needs of rural areas and the monitoring process were found to be positive.

The bucket elevator was designed and constructed at the Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo state, Nigeria. A variable speed bucket elevator with dimensions of 0.3 m by 0.243 m and 0.47 m high with a base stand of 0.47 m high making the total height of 0.9 m was designed, evaluated and tested to determine the throughput capacity of the machine, which gave 0.176 tons h-1 at higher speed of 0.5 m s-1 with optimal efficiency at the centrifugal discharge force of 0.366 N when grain (cowpea) was elevated, and a throughput capacity of 0.109 tons h-1 at a slower speed of 0.4 m s-1 with optimal efficiency of 7.78% at the gravitational discharge force of 0.392 N when small lumpy material was elevated. 0.5 m s-1 and 0.4 m s-1 used for the experiment were obtained from the grooved step pulley with variable diameters, connected to a motor of 0.18 kW (1340 rpm) at the head, with a gear reducer of 189.7 rpm coupled to a vee belt. The result obtained during test running of the prototype model of the bucket elevator conveyor, shows that at variable speed, bucket elevator can convey different materials, which becomes an advantage instead of installing different conveyor while the same can perform the same function with a change in the pulley. This will become advantageous to low-income countries, where resources are meager to purchase different equipment whereas, a well-designed single elevator can perform variably and obtain same outcome.

Published: December 2023

In this paper the author firstly underlines why is necessary to have a number of organizations whose primary goal is public education and achieving the highest standards of cultural and artistic production. The services offered by these organizations contribute to the development of multiple business processes. They are achieving this by creating favorable business environment and reaffirming the creation and respect of real values which consequently leads to new investments and creating of new job positions. These business processes support the employment of young professionals, educated at higher education institutions where they can obtain the latest comparative knowledge in the fields important for offering top quality services to domestic and foreign citizens, predominantly the tourists and other consumers of artistic and cultural products. Continuous development of business processes and opening of new job positions foster social capital and enhance safety and security of local population. At the end of this paper, the author emphasizes the importance that in offering the services in the field of arts and culture at all levels, from the local, up to the state level, the organizations need to have an equal valuation of the major fields of social life. This is the only way to avoid the conflicts and disagreements resulting from different treatment of the same services by various authorities or those making decisions on financing or subsiding the services in certain fields.
USLUGE PRIVATNIH AGENCIJA ZA ZAPOŠLjAVANjE U PRAVNOM SISTEMU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE

Published: December 2023

At this moment, the Republic of Serbia, like other countries, is facing a shortage of labour, both qualified and unqualified workers. This problem is even more pronounced in rural areas, where there is a high turnover of the workforce, but also lack of jobs and motivation to work in a system of law salaries. The question that arises is whether private employment agencies can, with their capacities and the role given to them, respond to the challenge and help overcome the current situation. In principle, private employment agencies are subjects of private law that provide services of connecting a potential employer and employee on the labour market. The problem of the domestic legal framework, and what the research in this paper has shown, is that it has not sufficiently stimulated these employment agencies to deal with the issues related to domestic labour market. Instead, they are dealing almost exclusively with international job matching. In this way, the access of domestic workers to foreign labour markets is facilitated, while the domestic labour market is still struggling with a shortage of labour and certain occupations. As part of the technical assistance “Supporting state institutional capacities and policy and legal frameworks for employment promotion”, carried out by EPCCO in May 2023, a survey was conducted on the profiling of employment agencies in the Republic of Serbia in the context of their inclusion in active employment policy measures. The paper presents the results of the research, which was carried out using an attached questionnaire and through discussions held within focus groups.

From the moment when Asinius Pollio, on the orders of Augustus, embodied Caesar’s idea and established the first public library in ancient Rome, in the following centuries there were dozens of these institutions. In the broadest sense, in this paper the author deals with the the types of services that these libraries provided to their users. Within the provisions of library services, special attention was paid to examining the possibility of taking out and using library materials outside the library, as well as the circle of users of library services, i.e. whether the users were members of the upper classes and the intellectual elite associated with them, or whether it was wider circle of users.

Authors: ŞAHİN GÜLDİKEN Zeynep Elif , ÇAYÖNÜ KAHRAMAN Neval
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Bu çalışma hastanemizde doğum yapmış gebelerin postpartum dönemde venöz tromboemboli (VTE) risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesi için planlanmıştır.

Materyal ve method: Çalışma retrospektif olarak postpartum dönemdeki 92 hastanın VTE risk faktörleri; önceden varolan risk faktörleri ve gebeliğe özgü risk faktörleri adı altında değerlendirildi. Hasta dağılımı bu risk faktörlerine göre sayısı ve yüzde oranı ile hesaplandı. VTE risk faktör skorlaması ACOG’a göre düzenlenmiş ‘Venöz tromboemboli risk değerlendirme formu’ na uygun olarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Önceden varolan risk faktörleri içinde varolan VTE öyküsü, düşük riskli trombofili ve yüksek riskli trombofili varlığı ile ilgili hastamız yoktu. Obezitede BMI ≥ 30 olan 48 hasta ( % 41,3) mevcuttu. Gebeliğe özgü risk faktörleri içinde uzamış doğum eylemi ve ölü doğum yapan hastamız yoktu. Bu grup içinde en fazla hasta sayısı paritesi ≥ 3 olan 31 (%33,6) hastamız mevcuttu. VTE skoru 3 puan olan 36 (%39,1) hasta saptandı. VTE skoru 0 ve 1 puan olan grup lar, sırasıyla 9 (%9,7) ve 9 (%9,7), en az hasta sayısına sahipti.

Sonuç: Çalışmada postpartum dönemde VTE bağlı komplikasyon gelişmemiştir. Bu durum doğum sonrası hastalarda VTE risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesinin ve yönetiminin önemini bir kez daha vurgulamaktadır. VTE bağlı komplikasyonları değerlendirmek için daha çok sayıda hasta grubu olan ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors lessen the degree of PD but still present various side effects. Natural products such as morin, piceatannol, resveratrol, and gallic acid are vital phytochemicals from plants with numerous health benefits. This in silico study aimed to identify potent natural MAO-B inhibitors that could serve as better alternatives to the known MAO-B inhibitors (rasagiline and selegiline). The crystal structure of MAO-B (PDB ID: 2C65) was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank (RSCB) and prepared for molecular docking via Discovery Studio 2020 software. Molecular docking between MAO-B and morin, piceatannol, resveratrol, gallic acid, rasagiline, and selegiline utilised the PyRx software. The Discovery Studio 2020 software was used for visualization. The SwissADME server was used to study the physiochemical properties (Lipinski rule of five), pharma-cokinetic parameters, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity (ADMET) profiles of morin. Comparing results with binding affinity indicated that morin (-10.0 kcal/mol) has a superior potency against 2C65 than piceatannol (-9.0 kcal/mol), resveratrol (-807 kcal/mol), dopamine (-6.4 kcal/mol), gallic acid (-6.3 kcal/mol), rasagiline (-8.0 kcal/mol), and selegiline (-7.4 kcal/mol). Drug candidates comply with all five of Lipinski’s drug-likeness rules with appropriate ADMET properties. Overall, the molecular docking results suggest that morin may be considered a suitable therapeutic candidate for PD treatment.
Polycystic ovary syndrome v.2023: Simplified diagnostic criteria for an East Asian phenotype
Authors: Yong Eu-Leong , Teoh Wei Shan , Huang Zhong Wei
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Two decades after the Rotterdam 2003 consensus workshop, there have been considerable advances in elucidating the pathophysiology and epidemiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This has prompted the re-examination of the features that characterise this common condition. Current definitions have led to great heterogeneity in the prevalence of PCOS and have contributed to inconsistent treatment protocols and assessment of therapeutic outcomes. Diagnosis is further complicated by the lack of universal agreement on threshold cut-offs for ovarian dysfunction and ethnic differences in hirsutism; both of which are key features in the definitions that are commonly used currently. These challenges often result in dissatisfaction with medical care among PCOS patients and their physicians.

Method: Our factor analysis mathematically identified anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), associated polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) and serum testosterone as the only significant cluster associated with menstrual cycle length variability.

Results and Conclusion: As such, we propose a simplified criteria wherein the presence of at least 2 of the 3 features below would be sufficient to define PCOS: (1) chronic oligo-ovulation or anovulation as indicated by oligomenorrhea (cycle lengths >35 days) or amenorrhea; (2) PCOM: raised AMH ≥37.0 pmol/L instead of transvaginal ultrasound assessment of ovaries; and (3) Androgen excess or raised serum androgens above the laboratory reference for women. Further studies are required to examine whether the proposed criteria would reduce diagnostic confusion and improve care and outcomes, especially among patients of East Asian ethnicities.
An augmented reality mobile application for weight estimation in paediatric patients: A prospective single-blinded cross-sectional study

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Determining the exact weight of children is a challenging task during emergency situations. Current guidelines recommend the use of length-based weight-estimating tapes. However, healthcare providers must either always carry the tapes or take time to locate them. Moreover, they may not know how to use them. To address these issues, we developed an augmented reality smartphone application for length-based weight estimation called the Paediatric Augmented Reality Scale (PARS). We evaluated its performance and compared it to that of the Broselow tape (BT) and Paediatric Advanced Weight Prediction in the Emergency Room extra-long and extra-large (PAWPER-XL) tape methods.

Method: A prospective, single-blinded cross-sectional study was conducted with children aged 1 month to 12 years who visited the emergency department of the tertiary university hospital in Bucheon, South Korea between July 2021 and February 2022. This study aimed to evaluate the measurement agreement and performance of 3 methods: BT, PAWPER-XL and PARS.

Results: In all, 1090 participants were enrolled, and 639 (58.6%) were male. The mean age of the participants was 4.1 ± 2.8 years, with a mean height of 102.7 ± 21.7 cm and mean weight of 18.8 ± 9.5 kg. Compared to BT and PAWPER-XL, PARS exhibited lower mean absolute percentage error (9.60%) and root mean square percentage error (3.02%). PARS achieved a higher proportion of weights estimated within 10% of the actual weight (63.21%), outperforming BT (57.25%) and PAWPER-XL (62.47%). The intraclass correlation coefficients for the actual and estimated weights of BT, PAWPER-XL and PARS were 0.952, 0.969 and 0.973, respectively (P<0.001).

Conclusion: PARS exhibited a modestly better performance than BT and PAWPER-XL in estimating body weight. PARS-estimated body weights correlated fairly accurately with the actual body weights. PARS holds potential utility in paediatric emergencies.

Lipedema é caracterizado por uma multiplicação anormal de células adiposas devido a alterações hormonais. O tratamento cirúrgico em alguns casos é necessário. Após cirurgia, o manejo pós-operatório adequado é essencial. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar os efeitos clínicos e a viabilidade de diferentes protocolos de ultrassom associado à drenagem linfática mecânica no pós-operatório de lipedema. Trata-se de um estudo piloto quase-experimental. As participantes foram designadas em grupos paralelos, por conveniência, com 10 pacientes no grupo 1 (G1) e 10 no grupo 2 (G2). O G1 recebeu o tratamento tanto no período pré-cirurgia quanto no pós-cirurgia. O G2 recebeu o tratamento apenas no período pós-cirurgia. Os grupos ao final do acompanhamento demonstraram similaridade em relação a dor, mobilidade, equimose, fadiga, estado de ânimo e sensibilidade. Os resultados mostraram que ambos os protocolos apresentaram efeitos clínicos e de viabilidade similares, podendo ser empregados na reabilitação de cirurgia de lipedema.

As high-performance athletes age, they become more prone to facial aging due to various factors such as sun exposure, oxidative stress, and intense exercise routines. This review emphasizes the significance of orofacial harmonization (OFH) using non-invasive aesthetic treatment options for athletes. To gather information on contemporary treatments for facial skin management in high-performance athletes, a narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed and EBSCO databases. Articles that involved invasive procedures, had extended post-operative periods, or required prolonged rest were excluded since athletes need to recover swiftly to sustain their training routines. The literature supports the effectiveness of non-invasive procedures such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), topical growth factors delivery, neuromodulators, and tissue bio-stimulators in reducing wrinkles, expression lines, and skin pigmentation in athletes. These interventions also demonstrate improvements in skin elasticity and hydration. In conclusion, non-invasive OFH procedures could help reduce the effects of skin aging in high-performance athletes. However, it is essential to consider the unique needs and recovery timelines of athletes when selecting OFH treatments. Non-invasive procedures with minimal downtime are often preferred to minimize disruptions to training schedules.

Diabetes is recognized as a severe and persistent illness that leads to an elevation in blood sugar levels. Untreated and undetected diabetes can give rise to numerous complications. The laborious process of identification typically involves a patient visiting a diagnostic centre and consulting with a doctor. However, the advancement of machine learning approaches has addressed this critical issue. The objective of this study is to develop a model capable of predicting the likelihood of diabetes in patients with the utmost accuracy. To achieve this goal, three machine learning classification algorithms—Decision Tree, SVM, and Naive Bayes—are employed in this experiment to identify diabetes at an early stage. The experiments are conducted on the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD), sourced from the UCI machine learning repository. The performance of each algorithm is assessed using various metrics such as Precision, Accuracy, F-Measure, and Recall. Accuracy is gauged based on both correctly and incorrectly classified instances. The results indicate that Naive Bayes outperforms the other algorithms, achieving the highest accuracy of 76.30%. These findings are corroborated through a meticulous examination of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.
