Twitting Against the Enemy: Populist Radical Right Parties Discourse Against the (Political) “Other”
Authors: Cervi Laura , Tejedor Santiago , Villar Mónica Gracia
Published: May 2023

There is a common agreement in considering populism as a Manichean worldview that oversimplifies and polarizes political options reducing them to a symbolical struggle between an “us” and a “them.” “Us” is embodied by “the people,” equated with “good,” and “them” is identified by political “Others,” often embodied by “the elites” who are depicted as inherently “evil.” Naturally, the nature and composition of the people and the elite vary according to both ideology and political opportunities. This article examines the discursive construction of political opponents in two populist radical right parties: Lega in Italy and Vox in Spain. Based on the analysis of a selection of tweets by the two party leaders, Santiago Abascal and Matteo Salvini, this study applies clause-based semantic text analysis to detect the main discursive representations of political opponents. The article concludes that Salvini focuses all the attention on the left, while Abascal, although predominantly identifying the left as the main enemy, also targets pro-independence parties. The discursive construction of the “enemy” is based on two main strategies: demonization, the framing of opponents as “enemies of the people” who, along with dangerous “Others” such as immigrants, conspire against the “people” and are blamed for everything that is “wrong” in society; secondly, character assassination of individual politicians through personal attacks, which aim to undermine their reputation and deflect attention from the real issues towards their personal traits and actions.
Comprehensive Research within the Framework of Mono-Expertise in the context of Digitalization (Forensic Phonoscopic Examination Case)
Authors: Korin A. V.
Published: May 2023

The paper substantiates the need to develop a new private theory of forensic expertology: the theory of digitalization of forensic activities, within which the problem of complexity deserves special attention. For these purposes, the author studies one of the forms of integration, known in forensic expertology as «a comprehensive study within the framework of one examination (mono-expertise)». The author draws attention to the epistemological essence of such a study, focuses on its distinctive features. The forensic phonoscopic examination case is an example of the problems of forensic examination of digital traces analysis. The author highlights the factors that contribute to the successful evolution of forensic phonoscopic examination in the context of digitalization (creation of a system for training expert phonoscopists, improvement of methodological support and an automated workplace for an expert), a list of expert situations that require the appointment of a comprehensive forensic phonoscopic and computer-technical examination.
Mentoring Matters
Authors:   , Smith Eisha , Phillips Joy C.
Published: May 2023

This study examined how mentoring services offered at a predominately White university (PWI) aid its African American students in achieving academic success. The low success rate of African American students at PWIs is well documented. African Americans face many sociocultural challenges, such as family structure, cultural deprivation, discrimination, and lack of access to education and resources. Because of these challenges, these students are often not academically prepared, affecting their chances of college success. Research has suggested that PWIs are aware of this population's challenges and are mindful of the significance of offering academic programs and services that will help African American students to prevail. As a result, PWIs offer academic services such as mentoring programs to assist their students in accomplishing their educational goals. African American students who have guidance from a mentor perform better academically than those who do not have this guidance. Research suggests that although all academic services help with educational growth, mentoring is the most effective academic support service in aiding this population to achieve academic success. Informed by streams of scholarly literature concerning the history of African American students in U.S. higher education, the general practice of mentoring, and mentoring specifically for African American students at PWIs, this qualitative phenomenological research study explored African American students' lived experiences and perspectives of how mentoring services augmented their educational success at an urban PWI in a large city in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. This study included in-depth interviews of 10 African American students to gather a well-rounded picture of their thoughts and perspectives on how mentoring has affected their educational growth. The interview data were analyzed, and the findings suggested that mentoring is a needed resource for African American students at PWIs. Furthermore, the data revealed that many of the African American participants do not feel that they would have succeeded in college without mentoring.

Distance Traveled for Abortion at a North Carolina Tertiary Care Center Following Restrictive Legislation
Authors: Brenner Tara , Stuart Gretchen S. , Rowe Carly A. , Diener Zoe N.
Published: May 2023

Background

North Carolina enacted 5 statutes restricting abortion between 2011 and 2016. Our objective was to compare the proportion of women who traveled more than 25 miles to a Southern tertiary care center during 2 distinct time periods (2011 and 2017).

Methods

We conducted a time-series retrospective cohort study of women who obtained an abortion at University of North Carolina hos­pitals in 2011 and 2017. We collected data regarding residence, demographics, gestational age, indication, parity, and referral source. Our primary outcome was distance traveled from a person’s residence to the study center.

Results

We enrolled 399 women, 139 in 2011 and 260 in 2017. In 2011, 72% (100 of 139) traveled more than 25 miles, compared with 75% (195 of 260) in 2017. Fewer women traveled greater than 100 miles from their residence to our clinic in 2011 (20%) compared to 2017 (26%). Fewer women from neighboring states were seen in 2011 than 2017 (p = .04). Women seeking abortion in 2011 were 4 times less likely to have been referred from a freestanding abortion clinic compared with women in 2017 (9% [13 of 139] versus 37% [96 of 260]).

Limitations

The tertiary referral nature of our study limits generalizability. With 2 time-distinct cohorts, there may be factors that changed over the study period that remain unaccounted for.

Conclusions

A similar proportion of women traveled more than 25 miles for abortion before and after the legislative changes. Our finding that more women traveled greater than 100 miles to obtain an abortion in 2017 compared to 2011 highlights a key burden to abortion ac­cess in North Carolina. The increased number of women seen from freestanding abortion centers and from neighboring states following the legislative changes highlights an important geographical burden potentially associated with strict abortion restrictions.

Authors: EKİNCİ Alper Fatih
Published: May 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nin zayıflaması ve milliyetçilik akımının yükselmesine paralel olarak Balkanlarda ayrılıkçı ulusal hareketler ortaya çıkmıştı. Makedonya bölgesini kendi topraklarına katmak isteyen birçok devlet vardı. Bunlar görünürde Bulgarlar, Yunanlılar ve Sırplar olurken arka planda çıkarları doğrultusunda hareket eden Avrupalı devletler de bu gruba dahildi. Bölgede varlık-yokluk mücadelesi veren Osmanlı Devleti ise iştahı kabaran bu mütegallibe unsurlar ve devletler karşısında ısrarla tutunmaya çalışmaktaydı. Makedonya bölgesinde Osmanlı Devleti’ni en çok uğraştıran gruplardan biri Bulgarların kurduğu çetelerdi. Milliyetçi hareketler bir müddet sonra ihtilalci, sosyalist ve anarşist ideolojilerle bütünleştikten sonra daha ilkel ve saldırgan bir tarza büründü. Bunlar şehirlerde bombalı saldırılar ve adam kaçırma gibi eylemlerinin yanında kırsal bölgelerde de köy baskınları başta olmak üzere birçok faaliyet içerisindeydiler. 1905 yılında gerçekleşen Zervi hadisesi Osmanlı askeri ve Bulgar eşkıyasının karşı karşıya kaldığı yüzlerce olaydan sadece biridir. Bu hadise özelinde Makedonya’daki ayrılıkçı hareketlerde, komitacıların ve köylünün tutumlarına karşılık devletin çözüm çabaları incelenmeye ve Makedonya meselesi anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Published: May 2023

Nutrition has been recognized as an important factor in health and disease for many years. However, it is only recently that the importance of nutrition in patients with chronic lung disease has come into focus. There has been a profound link between nutrition and lung health. Malnutrition could lead to poor lung development. Various diet such as Mediterranean diet, prudent diet, etc. have reported their protective effect against respiratory diseases while westernized dietary patterns and fast-food intake could cause poor lung health. Fruits and vegetables constituting various vitamins and minerals provide antioxidant shield to the lungs. Apart from this, one leading nutrient omega-3 fatty acids primarily found in sea food is emerging to have beneficial role for the lung’s wellbeing. Its anti-inflammatory property helps to combat respiratory diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis and COPD. Even in the chronic conditions such as lung cancer it works as an important constituent of nutritional therapy. It also impairs immune responses against various infections and strengthen lungs. To our surprise it has also proven positive effects over smoking cessation also. However, more research is certainly needed to identify the chief role of nutrients involved in managing respiratory diseases and their implications in practicality.
The United States and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict: Consequences for Washington's Foreign and military Policy
Authors: Batyuk Vladimir
Published: May 2023

The conflict in Ukraine has allowed the United States to strengthen its international position, and above all in relations with its allies. The Americans have managed to deal a severe blow to the political and economic ties between Russia and Europe. While Russia is suffering huge losses and casualties due to its participation in the "special military operation", Washington managed to avoid direct participation in this conflict by waging a proxy war against Russia at the expense mainly of Ukraine and Europe. At the same time, the American political and academic elite is gradually gaining confidence that the conflict in Ukraine will have to be resolved through diplomacy. This conflict is too costly for the United States and, especially, its NATO allies, and, what is especially worrying for many Americans, the escalation of this conflict could lead to an exchange of nuclear strikes.

Concept of consciousness transfer: creative and scientific research
Authors: Zaykova Alina S. , Lbova Ekaterina M.
Published: May 2023

The article analyzes the use of the consciousness transfer concept in the literature, cinema and science. Both techno-pessimism and techno-optimism are shown to be associated with the consciousness transfer idea. The main reasons for the desire of characters intention to use the consciousness transfer technology, which is also termed as breakdown phenomenon, are demonstrated through the example of the LitRPG subgenre and science fiction films. It is typical for novels and screen novels to demonstrate both positive and negative consequences of the consciousness transfer, but the attitude towards the possibility itself is predominantly positive. Unlike many science fiction theories, which are far from becoming reality, several major scientific projects are already working on the concept of the mind transfer. However, existing projects are far from implementing the consciousness transfer technology and are more often involved in solving particular problems associated with individual brain diseases, or exploring the social and humanitarian consequences of developing the virtual reality generally and the human presence in it particularly. It is concluded that for the modern literature and cinema, the concept of consciousness transfer has turned into a myth about the consciousness transfer, generated by the dream of the human mind omnipotence, combined with a pessimistic idea about the human morality and the human society unity. Furthermore, this myth also reflects a substantial part of the human life being already inside the digital reality.
Internet space in the contemporary drama about teenagers
Authors: Kabilova Е. S.
Published: May 2023

The article considers modern plays that show the peculiarities of the teenagers communication in the Internet. The aim of the study is to determine the impact that, according to playwrights, in the Internet communication has on the fate of adolescents. The empirical material for the study was the plays of 2013-2020, noted at the competitions of the contemporary dramaturgy and included in the collections of teenage plays: "Photo topless" by N. Blok, "That's all she" by A. Ivanov, "Mart and Sliva" by E. Bizyaeva, "Gandhi was silent on Saturdays" by A. Bukreeva. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is based on a combination of an interdisciplinary approach with an analysis of works on literary criticism, theater studies and psychology. As a result of the investigation, it was found that playwrights reconstruct the situation of characters' being in the Internet and reflect the communication of teenagers with their peers, adults and anonymous users, whose age or gender cannot be determined. The emerging conflict situations are associated with the violation of personal boundaries (bringing the conflict into the public space of the Internet), the substitution of live communication with virtual one, the manipulation by adults of the fragile consciousness of children. In some cases, the Internet space is portrayed as a digital copy of the real life of adolescents, while the Internet becomes a platform to which traditional adolescent conflicts are transferred. In other cases, the Internet becomes a place where a teenager goes to, being in conflict with the present.

Published: May 2023

The article considers the discursive dominants represented in the political Internet discourse and official political discourse. Subjective (characteristic and axiological), actional and spatial dominants are analyzed. The patterns of foregrounding certain situation components are established. The aim of the present study is to analyze foregrounding of certain discursive dominants depending on the political communication type. The authors set the following tasks to achieve this goal: to study the subject-related theoretical material, to analyze the frequency of the discursive dominants in the political communication, to identify the realization features of the speaker's intention in the political Internet discourse and in the official political discourse.The material for the analysis were the US Presidents utterances in the social network, as well as official documents of the Presidential Actions, posted on the website of the US Government. The authors of the article use various methods, including observation and description, comparative method, contextual analysis, discourse analysis. The study scientific novelty lies in the comparison of two different spheres of the political communication. In the process of discourse interaction certain discursive dominants appear. Politicians statements in social networks often contain an actualized subjective dominant, which allows to affect the information perception by the recipient. At the same time, in the texts of official documents, the actional dominant is brought to the forefront, which is directly related to the participants actions.

Published: May 2023

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating, non-traumatic, neurological disorder in young adults and can reduce quality of life (QoL) by interfering with the ability to work, leisure activities, and routine living tasks. Various studies have shown the dissatisfaction of people with MS in different areas of care services. Regarding the patients' weakness with care and services, we sought to identify the challenges for patients with MS in receiving care and services in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016-2018 using a researcher-made questionnaire (designed by MS Specialists in an MS research center). The questionnaire examined the care challenges in four areas: 1) costs of medication, hospitalization, and rehabilitation services, 2) family support, insurance system, and job protection, 3) access to transportation system and treatment team, 4) quality of the provided care and services.
Results: Completed questionnaires were received from 945 respondents. The mean age of responders was 35.92 years. In total, 731 (77.8) participants were women and 208 (22.2) were men. Academic education was reported among 615 (65.3) participants and 367 (40.2) were employed during the study, while 99 (10.5) of the subjects were not able to walk a minimum of 20 meters. The prioritization of care services challenges was as follows: the cost of pharmaceutical services (49.1), lack of telephone counseling (47.4), uninsured home rehabilitation (44.7), lack of qualified care centers (41.2), and rehabilitation costs (40.2).
Conclusion: We found that patients who could not walk at least 20 meters and unemployed individuals had more problems and lower QoL. The patients who had non-academic education had more challenges with the cost of medication, transportation, and lack of familial support.
This study shows the challenges of MS patients in receiving health care in Iran that vary in age, education, employment, and ability to walk. As the abovementioned challenges are of great importance in determining the QoL of people with MS, an appropriate solution is provided in this study to overcome these challenges.

Authors: Baratloo Alireza , Ramezani Mahtab , Rafiemanesh Hosein , Sharifi Meisam , Karimi Somayeh
Published: May 2023

Background: We believe that designing a new tool which is comparable in terms of both sensitivity and specificity may play an important role in rapid and more accurate diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in prehospital stage. Therefore, we intended to develop a new clinical tool for the diagnosis of AIS in the prehospital stage.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study. All patients transferred to the emergency department (ED) who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with impression of AIS were evaluated by 9 clinical tools for stroke diagnosis in the pre-hospital phase including Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE), Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS), Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (LAPSS), Melbourne Ambulance Stroke Screen (MASS), Medic Prehospital Assessment for Code Stroke (Med PACS), Ontario Prehospital Stroke Screening Tool (OPSS), PreHospital Ambulance Stroke Test (PreHAST), Recognition of Stroke in the Emergency Room (ROSIER), and Face Arm Speech Test (FAST), and totally 19 items were reviewed and recorded. The new clinical tool was developed based on backward method of multivariable logistic regression analysis. The discrimination power of the new clinical tool for diagnosis of AIS was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC).
Results: Data from 806 patients were analyzed; of them, 57.4% were men. The mean age of the study patients was 66.9 years [standard deviation (SD) = 13.9]. In the multivariable model, 8 items remained. The AUC-ROC of the new clinical tool was 0.893 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.869-0.917], and its best cut-off point was score ≥ 3 for positive AIS. At this cut-off point, sensitivity and specificity were 84.42% and 79.72%, respectively.
Conclusion: We introduced a new nomogram-based clinical tool for the diagnosis of AIS in the prehospital stage, which has acceptable specificity and sensitivity; moreover, it is comparable with previous tools.

Arthroscopy procedures for the knee are excellent and tend to be outpatient procedures. Pain control after arthroscopic surgery is an important aspect of patient satisfaction and quicker return to daily activities following surgery. The objective of this article was to review the current literature regarding pain management after knee arthroscopy using intra-articular (IA) injections. Our goal in this article is to review the drugs that have been suggested in various articles for IA injections following knee arthroscopy to control pain. In conclusion, the current evidence suggests that combining IA lidocaine and morphine with tranexamic acid (TXA), in addition to ketorolac, is effective for pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery.
Pro ultra-Mesh Augmentation in the Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Controlled Trial
Authors: Guity Mohammad Reza , Bagheri Nima , Heydari Amir
Published: May 2023

Background: Rotator cuff tears present in about 20% of the population. This has prompted surgeons to look for techniques to augment the rotator cuff tear repair. This study aimed to assess the results of Ultrapro mesh augmentation in patients with massive and large rotator cuff tears as a clinical trial.
Methods: The study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial in which patients were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups underwent surgery. In one, Ultrapro mesh was used to augment the repair. Therapeutic outcome was assessed by using a joint range of motion, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and visual analogue scale (VAS).
Results: 60 patients were included, of whom 47 were men. Forward flexion (FF), abduction, external rotation (ER), and internal rotation (IR) degree increased significantly in both groups (P < 0.01), but no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of changes in these angles (P > 0.05). During the study period and in both groups, the OSS score decreased, and the SST score increased. The pain in both groups decreased until the sixth month and increased after that up to the twelfth month.
Conclusion: Although the use of Ultrapro mesh augmentation in the rotator cuff tear has been associated with better long-term results in the abduction and ER of patients, the effect on the patients’ clinical results is not significant. Further studies are needed to make a more accurate judgment.

Authors: Mafi Amir Hosein , Toofan Hesam , Moharrami Alireza , Salehi Milad , Ayati Firoozabadi Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Background: Dehiscence of the wound is an infrequent complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA); numerous risk factors are responsible for this. This study aims to represent a case who underwent TKA, was infected with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) soon afterward, took corticosteroid as an immunosuppressive agent to resolve COVID-19 symptoms, and presented with wound dehiscence with minor trauma in early postoperative follow-ups.
Case Report: A 62-year-old man underwent TKA, and soon after discharge from the hospital, he was hospitalized with COVID-19. A corticosteroid was started for the patient, and a traumatic impaction occurred on his operated knee after he fell in the hospital. As a result, wound dehiscence was performed on the operated knee.
Conclusion: Numerous risk factors such as diabetes mellitus and corticosteroid consumption are implicated as known risk factors for wound dehiscence after TKA, which must be followed precisely to prevent the unfortunate development of such complications. Postoperative care must be considered in patients at risk for wound dehiscence. In the presented case, wound management was fulfilled with proper timing of irrigation and debridement without any prosthesis component exchange.

Published: May 2023

Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) is a dose-limiting adverse effect of chemotherapy without any specific treatment. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effects of natural products and supplements on TIPN. PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases were searched through August 2022 regarding TIPN and effects of natural products and supplement therapy. Data consists of preclinical studies, randomized controlled trials and case reports. After screening of 230 papers, we found 13 relevant animal and human studies regarding possible benefits of vitamin E, glutamine, omega-3, acetyl-L-carnitine and group of B vitamins on TIPN. Results demonstrated that vitamin E can be helpful on prevention and duration of TIPN. Glutamine and B vitamins showed hopeful results on reducing pain sensation. Omega-3 also shows promising results on incidence of TIPN. However, acetyl-L-carnitine might develop and worsen neuropathy. Although some supplements revealed promising effects on prevention and treatment of TIPN, researches are still limited and we need further long-term large sample size trials to confirm clinical efficacy of these supplements.

Authors: Isaeva Anzhela M.
Published: May 2023

The article analyzes the traditional wedding ceremony of the Chechens, which is an important part of their ethnic culture, establishing the social status of new families who have gathered to intermarry. Wedding ceremonies are focused on the creation of a new family, a couple entering into marriage in order to continue the ethnocultural continuity, continuing the history of one kind or another. The wedding ceremony is the most important part of the culture of that other people, a kind of mechanism of “regulation within ethnic ties”, the action of which implies the unification of the activities of individuals by including them in the system of social institutions. At the same time, individuals internalize group norms and values, remove emotional tensions that arise in everyday communication, and, finally, the social significance of such a life situation as entering into family and marriage relations is affirmed.
The Meaning of Human Life (Theoretical Analysis of the Concept)
Authors: Akimov Rustam A. , Babaeva Jamila P.
Published: May 2023

The problem of the meaning of human life is investigated. The fundamental status of this prob-lem in the spectrum of philosophical knowledge is determined. In the concept of “the meaning of human life” there are two semantic bases integrated in it – pragmatic (regulatory), setting practical guidelines for programming life and theoretical (philosophical), justifying the goal and choice of life path, in accordance to the accepted worldview system and ideology. The analysis of the choice of the meaning of human life from the standpoint of religious and secular worldview is given. It is shown that in ideological discussions there is clearly a difference in thinking, ways of argumentation and proof of people with secular and religious world outlook. From the standpoint of philosophical analysis, the meaning of human life is the realization of the a priori mindset in the knowledge of one's being and oneself in it. It is concluded that a secular person does not receive the prescribed meaning of his life, he forms it by observing, getting acquainted with the ideas of the meaning of other people, corrects and forms the personal meaning of life.
The System of Government of Algeria During the Period of Turkish Domination (16th - the First Third of the 19th Century)
Authors: Illba Rogina
Published: May 2023

The stages of the rule of the Ottoman Empire in Algeria, from the administration of the Beylerbeys (Prince of Princes) are considered before the reign of the Dey. This was the longest period of Ottoman rule. At present, the history of Algeria seems to be the most important stage of modern Arab history in general and the history of the Ottoman Empire in particular, since the Eyalet of Algeria was the first country in the Maghreb that came under Ottoman control. Since the 16th century, the Ottomans settled there after Hayraddin Barbarossa declared his submission to the Ottoman Sultanate in Istanbul in 1518, and remained in Algeria for more than three hundred years. It shows the foundations of the military colony of Algeria, the internal politics of the period of the reign of the Dey and his ministers, and the division of Algeria into four regions, each of which was subordinate to the dey. The reasons for the decline of the Algerian state at the beginning of the 19th century and the peculiarities of life, religion, economy of the peoples during this period are analyzed.

El bienestar emocional es definido desde diferentes enfoques en la psicología (Diener, Weiting, Harter, Arora, 2010; Ryan, & Deci, 1985), presentándolo asociado a la satisfacción con la vida así como al desarrollo de capacidades requeridas para un funcionamiento positivo. Posteriormente se ha añadido el enfoque de lo social, que plantea a las relaciones sociales como beneficiosas, pues, funcionan como un soporte para que uno sea respetado por sus pares y contribuya a la felicidad del otro (Diener, Weiting, Harter, & Arora, 2010). En muchos estudios se ha encontrado una fuerte relación entre las medidas de bienestar y las de salud mental (Diener, Keseir, & Lucas, 2008; Lamers, Glas, Westerhof, & Bolhmeijer, 2012). De tal modo, que se puedan desarrollar intervenciones que promuevan el bienestar (campañas, políticas públicas, talleres, etcétera), para contribuir a reducir los factores de riesgo y aumentar la salud mental de la población (Huppert, 2004). Este concepto actual recupera la noción de Aristóteles, para quien el bien máximo es el bien del alma. La justicia, como la virtud más elevada, al buscar el reparto equitativo de los bienes en la comunidad política, privilegia por ello el bienestar del alma, o bienestar emocional, de los ciudadanos.

Políticas de atención en salud : lejos de promover bienestar emocional y justicia
Authors: Rivera Holguín Miryam

Como se señaló previamente, el bienestar emocional es asociado a la salud y, por tanto, al acceso a los servicios de salud, y a las políticas de prevención y atención vigentes; así como a las maneras en que estas contribuyen al bienestar o al malestar emocional, y, por ende, a la vivencia de situaciones de justicia o de ausencia de la misma. Los estudiantes universitarios ayacuchanos logran dar cuenta de cómo las políticas en salud están lejos de promover bienestar emocional y justicia en la región. Son críticos del sistema y del modelo vigente, incluso critican la formación recibida en la universidad. A partir del trabajo de campo, observamos que los estudiantes de salud si bien han logrado una «apropiación del discurso académico» (Zavala y Córdova, 2010, p. 45) no dejan fuera la experiencia de vida y el conocimiento propio y ancestral de sus culturas.

La corrupción es un tema que nos concierne a todos. Si bien no es uno de los crímenes de competencia de la Corte Penal Internacional (en adelante, la Corte), hay comportamientos constitutivos de actos de corrupción que pueden reflejarse en casos conocidos por ella. Como el acto de corrupción tiene, además, frecuentemente elementos transnacionales, varios aspectos relacionados con la investigación y la necesaria cooperación jurídica internacional pueden ser similares a las actividades de la Fiscalía de la Corte. En este sentido, a continuación se incluirá también información sobre este organismo y su funcionamiento, la cooperación jurídica internacional y la relación entre la corrupción y los crímenes de competencia de esta Corte.
Ortega : el 98 y la lengua
Authors: Cisneros Luis Jaime
Published: May 2023

En el umbral de la adolescencia, los hombres de mi generación descubrimos en los textos escolares y periódicos a los hombres del 98. De otro lado, los diarios nos mostraban aspectos de su vida pública, pues algunos de ellos tenían representación política, y los acontecimientos europeos los perfilaban empeñados en hacerse oír. Hablar para nosotros de Azorín o de Valle Inclán, mencionar a don Miguel de Unamuno, eran cosas distintas de cuando hablábamos ciertamente de Moliere, de Milton o Rousseau. De vez en cuando, algún noticioso europeo nos regalaba, aunque fugazmente, con su voz. A algunos de ellos alcanzamos a conocer; y cuando puedo reconstruir ahora la húmeda y temblorosa mano con que Azorín estrechaba la nuestra, o la tosca, pero segura y cálida, de don Ramón Menéndez Pidal, en su casa de Chamartí, he aquí que nos damos con este centenario y comprendemos cómo el tiempo ha ido cincelando matices y perfiles y cómo ha adquirido robustez y consistencia propia la obra de cada cual. No «las obras», con esa clasificación que tanto entusiasmó a quienes viven empeñados en analizar argumentos, disecar influencias e intuir designios. No las obras, ya fueran de ensayo o de teatro, en prosa o en verso. No el producto sino el procedimiento, el «saber hacer», el instrumento lingüístico.

Alguien me ha preguntado desde cuándo se ha escrito o hablado en el Perú acerca de la existencia de la llamada Generación del 98 española. Se trata de una generación a raíz de un acontecimiento histórico, a partir de una fecha íntegra para España o la importante conmemoración de la existencia de un grupo célebre de escritores españoles reunidos con el propósito común de buscar las causas, de examinar y de ofrecer luces y soluciones en tomo de la trascendencia de un hecho histórico desastroso para España: la pérdida definitiva de lo que fue el fabuloso y envidiado Imperio Colonial desde la época de Carlos V y Felipe II.

The Covid-19 pandemic has also had an impact on UMKM. Boarding house businesses are included in UMKM which are located in school or campus areas. As a result of the pandemic, many boarding house businesses around campus have been abandoned because of the WFH and SFH policies. After 2 years, now schools and campuses have started to be active again. These conditions can revive the boarding house business around the USN Kolaka campus in Popalia Village. Based on the results of observations and interviews with students and boarding house owners, problems were found in efforts to revive the post- pandemic boarding house business, including: 1) students as the target consumer had difficulty obtaining boarding house information; 2) there is no info on the location map of the boarding house; 3) boarding house owners still use manual methods to promote their boarding houses. From these problems, it is necessary to digitize boarding houses, one of which is by making applications that can provide clear and up-to-date information. This study aims to develop a boarding house search application using the scrum method. The results of this study succeeded in making the popakos.com application according to user needs with a processing time of 54 days.
