Authors: Widyastuti Nabilla Niken , Nugraheni Wahyu Pudji , Miko Wahyono Tri Yunis , Yovsyah Yovsyah
Published: April 2022

Tuberculosis is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality that often occurs in children. WHO 2018 data states that there are 1.1 million cases of TB in children each year. One of the causes of TB in children is nutritional status. Poor nutritional status led to weak immunity and thus easier to be infected by tuberculosis. This study aims to analyze the correlation of nutritional status and the occurrence of TB in children aged 1-5 years old in Indonesia. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design using Riskesdas 2018 data. The sample of the study was children aged 1-5 years old with a total sample of 27779. The confounding variables were sex, residence area, BCG immunization, parents’ education status, parents’ employment status, the existence of smokers, and the physical condition of the house. Bivariate analysis using Chi-Square test and regression logistic for multivariate analysis. The variable associated with TB in children was nutritional status (p-value 0.02) PR 1.78 (95% CI; 1.1-2.9). Other variables related were the area of residence (p <0.05) PR 2.336 (95% CI 1.449-3.768) and the employment status of the father (PR 3.943 95% CI 1.584-9.815). There was a correlation between nutritional status and pulmonary tuberculosis in children aged 1-5 years in Indonesia. Further research is needed by using different designs and other variables.

An application of the interval estimation for the At-Risk-of-Poverty Rate assessment
Authors: Dudziński Marcin , Kaleta Joanna
Published: April 2022

In the document [Eurostat (Your Key to European Statistics) 2020], At-Risk-of-Poverty Rate (ARPR in short) is defined as the percentage of population with an income not exceeding 60% of the general population median income. Extensive and thorough research on the estimation of this measure has been conducted since its introduction. For example, in the paper of [Zieliński 2009a] a non-parametric, distribution-free confidence interval for ARPR has been constructed. An example of application of the confidence interval proposed by [Zieliński 2009a] has been given in [Zieliński 2009b]. Some other interesting approach regarding the interval estimation of ARPR has been proposed in [Luo and Qin 2017], where the authors introduced new concepts of the interval estimation for the so-called Low-Income Proportion (LIP) measure, which is a generalization of ARPR. The LIP measure and thus, the ARPR parameter in particular, are important indexes describing the inequality in an income distribution. Based on the construction of the point smoothed kernel estimate for LIP, [Luo and Qin 2017] established a smoothed jackknife empirical likelihood approach leading to the introduction of some new non-parametric confidence intervals for the LIP measure and consequently, for the ARPR index as well. In our work, we aim to apply the most interesting ideas of LIP and ARPR point and interval estimation for data consisting of observations concerning an equalised disposable income of households in Poland from 2003. We also discuss the accuracy and adequacy of the empirical results relating to the ARPR interval estimation, obtained by the implementation of the constructed confidence intervals.

Published: April 2022

Materials with negative Poisson?s ratio are called auxetics and they present enhanced properties (e.g. damping, indentation resistance, fracture toughness and impact resistance) under external loadings. The auxetic properties are derived from peculiar-shaped microstructures, such as starshaped frames. In the present investigation, several applications are studied using auxetic microstructures. Finite element models are developed for dynamic analysis. First, an application related to auxetic microstructures, for the core of structural panels, is presented. Next, the use of auxetic materials in armor plates in dynamic bullet penetration problems is considered. Finally, a numerical simulation for wind turbines blades, with aluminum foam, polymeric foam and the proposed auxetic material is carried out. The numerical results demonstrate that the use of auxetic microstructures results in improved dynamic response of the system in comparison to conventional materials.

Published: April 2022

In this study, we make a specific contribution to the subject of surfaces with wide application areas defined with the help of associated curves. In particular, we examine the binormal surfaces generated via adjoint curves which are one of the important examples of associated curves. By defining the binormal surfaces of adjoint curves under the Frenet-Serret (FS) frame in 3D Euclidean space, we characterize such surfaces and give some results with the aid of these characterizations.
Media Now: A Historical Review of a Media Literacy Curriculum

Published: April 2022

The Elizabeth Thoman Archive at the Harrington School of Communication and Media, University of Rhode Island, has the last complete kit of one of the milestones in the early chronology of media literacy, the 1972 Media Now curriculum. This curriculum was the first of its kind, using self-contained lesson modules that were part of a larger series of kits, text references, and accompanying workbook. Its self-directed learning model gave students the opportunity to learn about the media, by doing, responding to, and reflecting on core concepts of media production. Using physical artifacts from the Media Now kit, historical documents, promotional materials, phone interviews with the founders and teachers of the curriculum, the authors were able to trace the development of Media Now from its historical and educational roots of the 1960s, to its full production, distribution, and training out of the facility at the Southwest Iowa Learning Resource Center (SILRC). The historical and educational impetus for creation of what started as a Title III innovation grant of the Elementary and Secondary Educational Act of 1965, matured to be a curriculum that was implemented in 600 schools across the U.S - a testament to both its need and its success. However, as times and politics changed, federal and local government cut funding for Media Now. As we reviewed its original approach to curriculum design and pedagogy, we found that the Media Now story calls for a new examination of the creative materials and techniques used in the 1970s, in light of the current need for media literacy education in and outside of the 21st century digital classroom.
The Core Concepts: Fundamental to Media Literacy Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Published: April 2022

“New media” does not change the essence of what media literacy is, nor does it affect its ongoing importance in society. Len Masterman, a UK-based professor, published his ground-breaking books in the 1980’s and laid the foundation for media literacy to be taught to elementary and secondary students in a systematic way that is consistent, replicable, measurable and scalable on a global basis – and thus, timeless. Masterman’s key insight was that the central unifying concept of media education is that of representation: media are symbolic sign systems that must be decoded. This paper explores the development and the application of the Core Concepts of media literacy, based on Masterman’s groundbreaking work, in Canada and in the U.S.

Transportation is the means of mobility. Due to the growth in the population, rising traffic on road, delay in the movement of vehicles and traffic chaos could be observed in urban areas. Traffic congestion causes many social and economic problems. Because of the convenience and the quickness, motor-bikes gradually become the main travel mode of urban cities. In this paper, we extend the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) traffic flow model equation into the mixed-traffic flow of two entities: car and motor-bike in a unidirectional single-lane road segment. The flow of cars is modeled by the advection equation and the flow of motor-bikes is modeled by the advection-diffusion equation. The model equations for cars and motor-bikes are coupled based on total traffic density on the road section, and they are non-dimensionalized to introduce a non-dimensional number widely known as Péclet number. Explicit finite difference schemes satisfying the CFL conditions are employed to solve the model equations numerically to compute the densities of cars and motor-bikes. The simulation of densities over various time instants is studied and presented graphically. Finally, the average densities of cars and motor-bikes on the road section are calculated for various values of Péclet numbers and mixed-traffic behavior are discussed. It is observed that the mixed-traffic behavior of cars and motor-bikes depends upon the Péclet number. The densities of motor-bikes and cars in the mixed-traffic flow approach the equilibrium state earlier in time for smaller values of Péclet number whereas densities take longer time to approach the equilibrium for the greater values of Péclet number.

L2 learners morpheme acquisition has been studied a lot subsequent to Dulay and Burts work(1974). Similar to other studies responding to Krashens (1977) notion on natural acquisitionorder, this small-scale research aims at investigating whether Indonesian high school English learners also go through similar acquisition order as the respective notion. The data taken froma group of Indonesian high school students writing assignment were analyzed using theObligatory Occasion Analysis (Ellis Barkhuzien, 2005) to investigate the grammaticalmorpheme acquisition order of the students. Subsequently, the finding was analyzed to seewhether the acquisition order was influenced by Krashens hypothesis. The findings showedthat the morpheme acquisition order of the research participants did not go through similaracquisition order as stated in Krashens natural order hypothesis. Further, the participants L1partially contributed to the order.
Convergence of Comorbidity and COVID-19 Infection to Fatality: An investigation based on health assessment and vaccination among older adults in Kerala, India

Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of age, comorbidity, and vaccination in the fatality of older COVID-19 patients in the state of Kerala, India.
METHODS: A cross sectional study, adopting a mixed method approach was used and conducted among the older population in Kerala. To study the health profile of study participants 405 older people were surveyed and 102 people were interviewed in-depth at their households between June to November 2020. The results of the study were triangulated with elderly COVID-19 fatality data available from the citizen-science dashboards of the research team and Department of Health, Kerala. Vaccination data was retrieved from the Co-WIN government website (cowin.gov.in) to study its impact. The data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 22.0.
RESULTS: Age is a predictor of COVID-19 fatality. Diabetes, hypertension, CAD, CKD and COPD are the significant predictors of elderly COVID-19 fatality in Kerala. The current comorbidity profile of the total older population matches with the comorbidities of the COVID-19 elderly death cases. CFR and IFR have declined even when the CMR is high in the second wave of COVID-19 with more deaths. This is attributable to vaccination even though there exists a lesser chance for breakthrough infection.
CONCLUSIONS: Age and comorbidities can predict potential fatality among older COVID-19 patients. Timely and accurate health data and better knowledge of high-risk factors such as comorbidity can easily guide the healthcare system and authorities to efficient prevention and treatment methodologies. Knowledge on prevailing NCDs can drive early preparedness before it converges with an epidemic like the present zoonotic disease. Vaccination is an effective tool in preventing infection compared to the unvaccinated even though the chance for breakthrough infection is there, particularly, in people with comorbidities.

Published: April 2022

Today, the whole world is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. In these circumstances, medical professionals are being viewed as the frontline warriors who are risking their lives for the sake of helping, caring, and curing these patients. However, in these difficult times, there are few medical professionals and health care providers who are taking advantage of this situation and taking advantage of distressed and distraught patients at will. A conflict between professional and personal ethical values makes them depressed and puzzled. It is tough for them to maintain a good image of their profession and business. The objectives of this study are to review the ethical conflict amid the ongoing Covid pandemic and post-Covid pandemic (vaccination period) in the context of medical professionals and health care providers. The paper is designed based on a literature review. Almost fifty-two research papers, articles, survey reports, and newspapers were studied in the context of ethics in business/profession. After reviewing moral distress is ongoing and post-pandemic period, the researchers have tried to present the medical professionals and health care providers' critical situation to give priority to their professional ethics or personal interest.
The Importance of Environmental Sustainability for Healthy Ageing and The Incorporation of Systems Thinking in Education for A Sustainable Environment
Authors: Chiu Wang-Kin , Fong Ben Y. F , Ho Wing Yi
Published: April 2022

Environmental sustainability is important to public health and of particular significance considering the rapidly growing ageing population. While advancement in chemical science has contributed to enhanced quality of life, increasing levels of chemical pollutions and the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment have led to serious concern. The deterioration of environmental quality has been largely due to chemical pollution and the elderly group are being more susceptible to the hazardous effects of industrial chemicals and airborne pollutants. It has also presented uphill challenges to the promotion of healthy ageing which requires a sustainable clean environment, contributed by the advancement of sustainable and green chemistry. However, innovations in green chemistry require a systems thinking mindset which is also important in realizing the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment. The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations has called for immediate actions in adopting the SDGs as a central concern in the reform of different domains for the invention of a sustainable future. The practice of chemistry has various impacts on many interconnected systems, re-orientation of chemistry education has been proposed with the implementation of inter-disciplinary approaches as informed by systems thinking, with a growing number of reports suggesting its potentials and applications in chemical education. Despite the vast opinions suggesting the promising prospects of applying systems thinking in education, reports on the development of relevant tools and educational resources are only of a limited amount, with recent perspectives identifying the design of educational tools and resources as one of the priority areas. In this study, we report the collaborative work across the disciplines of health and chemical sciences in the pedagogic design of incorporating systems thinking in chemistry education adopting the theoretical framework. The design of a system-oriented concept map extension (SOCME) diagram is described, with reference to a case study of chemicals released from the degradation of plastics. The work presented illustrates the potential of systems thinking in sustainable education and adds to the collections of educational resources for incorporation of systems thinking in teaching and learning.
Validating the CANRISK prognostic model for assessing diabetes risk in Canada’s multi-ethnic population
Authors: Robinson C.A. , Agarwal G. , Nerenberg K.
Published: April 2022

Introduction

Despite high rates of undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes, suitable risk assessment tools for estimating personal diabetes risk in Canada are currently lacking.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional screening study that evaluated the accuracy and discrimination of the new Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire (CANRISK) for detecting diabetes and prediabetes (dysglycemia) in 6223 adults of various ethnicities. All participants had their glycemic status confirmed with the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We developed electronic and paper-based CANRISK scores using logistic regression, and then validated them against reference standard blood tests using test-set methods. We used area under the curve (AUC) summary statistics from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses to compare CANRISK with other alternative risk-scoring models in terms of their ability to discern true dysglycemia.

Results

The AUC for electronic and paper-based CANRISK scores were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.73–0.78) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.73–0.78) respectively, as compared with 0.66 (95% CI: 0.63–0.69) for the Finnish FINDRISC score and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.66–0.72) for a simple Obesity model that included age, BMI, waist circumference and sex.

Conclusion

CANRISK is a statistically valid tool that may be suitable for assessing diabetes risk in Canada’s multi-ethnic population. CANRISK was significantly more accurate than both the FINDRISC score and the simple Obesity model.
ADJECTIFS HÉRITÉS DU LATIN À VALEUR ADVERBIALE EN ISTRO-ROUMAIN
Authors: CHIRCU Adrian
Published: April 2022

Latin inherited Adjectives used as Adverbials in Istro-Romanian. Our study aims to research the adverbial use of adjectives (followed or not by prepositions) inherited from Latin into Istro-Romanian, one of the South-Danubian Romanian dialects which is threatened nowadays with extinction, as foreseen by the majority of linguists interested in this dialectal variety of the Romanian language. In order to pursue an objective analysis we will rely generally on the standard Romanian language and on the description of Istro-Romanian adjectives and adverbs according to specialized literature (treaties, monographies, further studies, dictionaries, glossaries, dialectal texts and so on) as proof for our research, but we will also rely on Latin as well as other Romance languages. We would also like to highlight that such a research has not been undertaken until the present moment. Our research will have an impact not only on the description of a particular aspect discovered in Istro-Romanian, but also on Romanian as a whole or on the Neo-Latin languages, by pointing out certain language-specific structural concordances.

PÂNĂ-PPs AND COMPLEX EVENT CONSTRUCTIONS IN ROMANIAN
Authors: FARKAS Imola-Ágnes
Published: April 2022

Până-PPs and Complex Event Constructions in Romanian. This paper examines the syntactic and semantic status of Romanian PPs headed by the morphologically complex prepositions până în/la ʻuntil/as far as/up to in/at’ in VPs of change of location (a pluti până în peșteră ʻfloat up to the caveʼ) and change of state (a munci până la epuizare ʻwork to the point of exhaustionʼ). Contrary to the claims made in the literature (Barbu 2015), the approach taken here argues that these – and other similar – VPs cannot be considered complex event constructions such as goal-of-motion structures and strong resultative constructions, respectively. The discussion revolves around the interpretation of the entire VP, the lack of any type of restriction on the syntactic and semantic classification of the verb, the violation of the Direct Object Restriction, as well as the borderline between these PPs and temporal adjuncts. These properties highlight the fact that the availability of such VPs does not turn Romanian into a satellite-framed language as they are not real counterexamples to the Talmian generalization according to which verb-framed Romanian disallows these two complex event constructions.

REZUMAT. Grupuri prepoziționale cu până și construcții eventive complexe în limba română. Această lucrare analizează statutul sintactic și semantic al grupurilor prepoziționale din limba română construite cu prepoziția compusă până în/la în grupuri verbale de schimbare de locație (a pluti până în peșteră) și schimbare de stare (a munci până la epuizare). Contrar afirmațiilor făcute în literatura de specialitate (Barbu 2015), abordarea propusă aici susține că aceste – și astfel de – grupuri verbale nu pot fi considerate construcții eventive complexe cum ar fi structuri de schimbare de locație, respectiv construcții rezultative tari. Discuția se concentrează pe interpretarea întregului grup verbal, lipsa oricărei restricții asupra clasificării sintactice și semantice a verbului, încălcarea restricției asupra complementului direct, precum și frontiera dintre aceste grupuri prepoziționale și adjuncții temporali. Aceste proprietăți accentuează faptul că datorită prezenței acestor grupuri verbale în limbă, româna nu devine o limbă satelitară deoarece ele nu sunt adevărate excepții la generalizarea talmiană potrivit căreia limba română, ca limbă verbală, nu permite aceste două construcții eventive complexe.

TERMINOLOGIES ÉMERGENTES ET EXPLORATION DE CORPUS SPECIALISÉ. LE LEXIQUE DE LA COVID-19 EN ROUMAIN
Authors: VARGA Cristina
Published: April 2022

Emerging Terminologies and Exploration of Specialized Corpus. The Lexicon of Covid-19 in Romanian. This study discusses the issue of emerging terminologies analysed through quantitative and qualitative analysis of a specialised corpus. Thus, beginning from studies on terminological neologisms such as Rondeau (1984), Kageura (2002) and Humbley (2009) who state that emergent terminologies are formed as a result of a combination of terminologies already fixed in the language and terminological neologisms. Humbley (2009) also hypothesizes that most of the terminological units of an emerging domain are neologisms. Using this theoretical framework and working with a corpus of more than 400,000 words, we aim to observe the terminology of the emerging field of Covid-19. As objectives of this research we aim to answer the following questions: a) which are the most used monolexical terms of Covid-19 in Romanian, b) which are the most used plurilexical terms of Covid-19 in Romanian, c) is the emerging terminology of this field mostly composed of neological terms? The study is meant for researchers, teachers and students interested in corpus-based linguistic research.

THE PRAGMATICS OF STEREOTYPICAL SPEECH. LOSS OF IDENTITY THROUGH TRANSLATION COMPROMISE
Authors: TOŞU Ioana Ruxandra
Published: April 2022

The Pragmatics of Stereotypical Speech. Loss of Identity through Translation Compromise. This article explores the possibility of translating stereotypical language markers, from Japanese (source language) into Romanian (target language). The case study is conducted on a Japanese comic book (manga) titled Rurōni Kenshin -Meiji Kenkaku Roman Tan-, analysed in terms of pragmatic sense conveyed through the translations of certain deictics and appellatives used to differentiate between the two identities assumed by the main character. The translation compromises oftentimes required due to the lack of pragmatic equivalence lead to loss of pragmatic meaning, blurring out the differences in the personalities of the main character.

La invasión rusa de Ucrania ha alterado la campaña presidencial en que se decidirá a dos vueltas el 10 y el 24 de abril. Emmanuel Macron se juega su continuidad con la abstención como principal amenaza, aunque las encuestas confirman la reedición del duelo de 2017 entre el actual presidente y Marine Le Pen. La misma guerra que ha fortalecido el liderazgo internacional de Macron, agrava también el malestar económico, que agranda la distancia entre el presidente y una parte importante del electorado. La gran novedad de esta campaña ha sido, por un lado, la candidatura del polemista Éric Zemmour, que ha fragmentado el espacio de la extrema derecha; por el otro, la dispersión del voto de izquierdas entre cuatro candidatos distintos, que amenaza con abocar a algunas de estas fuerzas a la irrelevancia electoral.
On the perception of leaf morphology and visible light by Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acariformes, Tetranychidae)
Authors: Tsolakis Haralabos , Ragusa Ernesto , Sinacori Milko , Lombardo Alberto
Published: April 2022

The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is one of the most polyphagous and most damaging pests worldwide. The behaviour of the mite differs on its various host plants and this could influence crop defence strategies. We investigated the perception of leaf morphology by T. urticae in relation to the effects of visible light on the selection of sites on which females prefer to live and feed. Mite females chose the shaded surface when smooth and glabrous lemon leaves were offered as a surface for living and feeding, showing a photophobic behaviour. However, they clearly preferred the abaxial surface of bean leaves regardless of the presence or absence of visible light. As no differences were found regarding the food quality between the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces, mite behaviour seems to be related firstly to the perception of leaf morphology and secondly to visible light. As regards the first factor, T. urticae prefers the abaxial surface of leaves with a complicated architecture, i.e. veins in relief, on which they can easily build their dense web, and this factor has priority in comparison to the negative effect of the visible radiations. The second factor is important on smooth and glabrous leaves, these being unsuitable for building the complicated characteristic webs of T. urticae.

Noise and toluene can have significant adverse effects on different systems in the human body, but little is known about their combination. The aim of this study was to see how their combined action reflects on serum levels of inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), body weight, and pathological changes in the heart, lung, stomach, and spleen tissues. To do that we exposed New Zealand rabbits to 1000 mg/L toluene and 100 dB of white noise in a chamber specifically designed for the purpose over two consecutive weeks. Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were measured with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), whereas Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in tissues were determined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Noise and toluene changed TNF-α and IL-1β serum levels on different days following the end of exposure and significantly increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the lung and spleen. In addition, they induced different pathological changes in the heart, lung, spleen, and stomach tissues. This study has confirmed that exposure to noise and toluene can induce a range of toxicopathological changes, probably by inducing inflammatory pathways and apoptosis, but their combined effects look weaker than those of its components, although histopathological findings suggest the opposite.

Background

Acquired metastasis and invasion of cancer cells during radiotherapy are in part due to induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties, which are mediated by TGF-β signaling. Here we evaluated the anti-metastatic therapeutic potential of vactosertib, an orally bioavailable TGF-β type I receptor (activin receptor-like kinase 5, ALK5) inhibitor, via suppression of radiation-induced EMT and CSC properties, oxidative stress generation, and breast to lung metastasis in a breast cancer mouse model and breast cancer cell lines.

Materials and methods

Co-treatment of vactosertib with radiation was investigated in the 4T1-Luc allografted BALB/c syngeneic mouse model and in 4T1-Luc and MDA-MB-231 cells. The anti-metastatic therapeutic potential of vactosertib in breast cancer was investigated using fluorescence immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, wound healing assay, mammosphere formation assay, and lung metastasis analysis in vitro and in vivo.

Results

Radiation induced TGF-β signaling, EMT markers (Vimentin, Fibronectin, Snail, Slug, Twist, and N-cadherin), CSC properties (expression of pluripotent stem cell regulators, mammosphere forming ability), reactive oxygen species markers (NOX4, 4-HNE), and motility of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Vactosertib attenuated the radiation-induced EMT and CSC properties by inhibiting ROS stress in breast cancer. Moreover, vactosertib combined with radiation showed a significant anti-metastatic effect with suppression of breast to lung metastasis in vivo.

Conclusions

These results indicate that inhibition of TGF-β signaling with vactosertib in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy would be an attractive strategy for the prevention of cancer metastasis and recurrence.
W krainie Kota Doroty Terakowskiej jako przykład herstorii uśpionej

Dorota Terakowska’s In Cat`s Land [W krainie Kota] as an example of dormant herstory The article is devoted to the interpretation of Dorota Terakowska’s novel In Cat`s Land [W krainie Kota] (1998) from the perspective of feminisms and “herstories.” The author starts from the classic concepts of pluralism of feminisms, arachnology, and herstories in order to signal their presence in contemporary Polish youth prose. She undertakes theoretical reflection on Anna Burzyńska, Kazimiera Szczuka, Monika Świerkosz, Grażyna Borkowska, and Ewa Kraskowska, who develop the concept of arachnology by Nancy K. Miller and herstory by Adele Aldridge. In the text, Terakowska’s prose is a general reflection on the presence of herstory, with particular emphasis on the work In Cat`s Land as a phantasmatic herstory highlighting specific female experiences.

The landscape after “the landscape after Terakowska,” or on the latest Polish children’s and young adult fantasy and science fiction The chapter is an attempt to outline the landscape of Polish children’s and young adult fantasy and science fiction in the last dozen or so years, with particular emphasis on the works of the most important authors, as well as on key development trends, popular topics, and original phenomena. Attention has been paid to the writings of Andrzej Maleszka, Marta Kisiel, Marcin Szczygielski, Justyna Bednarek, and Małgorzata Strękowska-Zaremba. In the course of the analyses of subsequent works, the authors of the text point out the most interesting plot, worldbuilding, topical, and motif solutions that can be identified on the Polish ground. They highlight, among other things, the works’ references to the Slavic past, combining humorous plots with reflectiveness, searching for new genres, numerous references to contemporary problems and fears about the future, and using fantasy and science fiction to present historical and socially sensitive content.
Akceptacja i krytyka. Komentarz do biografii artystycznej Doroty Terakowskiej

An Acceptance and Critique. The Commentary to Dorota Terakowska’s Artistic Biography The main aim of this article is to describe the artistic biography of Dorota Terakowska through the notions of both acceptance and critique. In this article, acceptance and critique relate to the attitude of the author. Acceptance has two different forms – positive and negative. The first reflects the writer’s attitude toward the democratic circumstances and how their writing process is not determined by the limitations of politics or customs. The negative acceptance is heavily linked to the impact of the communist regime on the writers and their works. This point of view on the writer’s attitude enables an analysis of the work’s structure and literary convention, style, genre, and writing strategy. Nonetheless, the critique is a consequence of an express acceptance (positive and negative) by the writer, and it is epitomized in the text structure via the literary convention, style, genre, and writing strategy. When viewed through the notions of acceptance and critique, the artistic biography of Dorota Terakowska allows us to show her literary achievement in a new light. The authoress debuted the realistic short novel Novel [Opowiadanie] in the popular magazine “Przekrój” in 1962. After the political breakthrough in Poland (1989), she became a famous authoress of fantasy novels.
Cambio climático y transformaciones del derecho local
Authors: Soro Mateo Blanca
Published: April 2022

El presente estudio tratar de ofrecer una respuesta a la eventual necesidad de adaptación del Derecho Local español para contribuir y facilitar el cumplimiento de los objetivos marcados por el nuevo marco jurídico del cambio climático. Aunque a nivel práctico se augura un importantísimo papel de los entes locales en la consecución de dichos objetivos, tanto de reducción como de adaptación, lo cierto es que a día de hoy la legislación no ha avanzado en este sentido. Lejos de ello, se denuncian ciertas regresiones derivadas de la reforma del régimen local de 2013 que, con motivo de la sostenibilidad financiera, vino a recortar el estatus quo alcanzado hasta el momento a nivel competencial, regresión, no obstante, corregida por el TC a golpe jurisprudencial. Por otra parte, nos encontramos con una escasa atención por parte de la LCCTE de la cuestión local. Y queda por ver qué espacio reconocen las leyes autonómicas de cambio climático que se vayan dictando, a falta de una homogeneización del techo competencial de la Administración Local en dicha norma estatal.
Transfuguismo y coaliciones electorales
Authors: Flores Domínguez Luis Enrique
Published: April 2022

Una de las cuestiones que más está preocupando en nuestro sistema político, por las disfunciones que genera, es la relativa a la respuesta que se dé al fenómeno del transfuguismo político, sobre todo en el ámbito local.Los supuestos de transfuguismo han creado en ocasiones alarma social, hábilmente potenciada también por los partidos políticos para justificar el incremento de los mecanismos de control sobre los representantes electos para reprimir cualquier disidencia, pero es necesario ponderar, ya que todo disidente no debería ser considerado tránsfuga si su actuación no provoca una incidencia directa sobre la acción de gobierno.En los últimos años se ha producido un incremento de la formación de coaliciones electorales como sujetospolíticos habilitados para presentar candidaturas, con una parca regulación en cuanto a su régimen jurídico y funcionamiento. El fenómeno del transfuguismo también está presente en el seno de las coaliciones electorales con unos perfiles característicos y diferenciadores, lo que ha llevado a los partidos firmantes del PactoAntitransfugismo a poner su foco de atención sobre este problema exigiendo reformas normativas.En el presente trabajo realizamos una reflexión sobre el concepto de tránsfuga, exponiendo los distintosacuerdos y pactos que han alcanzado los partidos políticos para combatir estas conductas y los cambios normativos en los que se han plasmado los acuerdos. Tras exponer el régimen jurídico de las coaliciones electorales exponemos cómo se refleja en las mismas el transfuguismo y cuáles son sus singularidades.Terminamos con una reflexión sobre la necesidad de aquilatar el concepto de tránsfuga,  diferenciándolo de la simple disidencia puntual, y la necesidad de reforzar los mecanismos de control sobre las decisiones de los partidos para evitar un uso arbitrario de la facultad de expulsión del afiliado.

Este trabajo tiene como propósito establecer si existe diferencia en el uso de las prácticas de alto rendimiento tal y como las conciben los directores de recursos humanos como responsables de su implantación y cómo estas prácticas son percibidas por los empleados. A partir de una descripción de las prácticas de alto rendimiento dentro de la Dirección de Recursos Humanos, se procede a revisar las clasificaciones más habituales y se concluye con la propuesta de una escala de medida que se aplica en el sector empresarial de la ciudad de Bucaramanga en Colombia, donde participan 50 Pymes y 651 empleados. Para la validación del instrumento se realiza un análisis factorial confirmatorio que permite evidenciar sus buenas propiedades psicométricas y se procede a analizar la información a través de estadística descriptiva. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias en la percepción de los empleados y la implementación de directivos en algunas prácticas como retribución y formación. Finalmente, se concluye con la necesidad de continuar haciendo una distinción entre las prácticas aplicadas por la dirección (intencionadas) y las que son experimentadas por los individuos de una organización (percibidas), con el propósito de fortalecer los sistemas de recursos humanos que conlleven a alcanzar los objetivos propuestos a través de actitudes positivas por parte de los colaboradores.
Experiencias digitales con la poesía en el aula de ELE
Authors: De la Torre Sánchez Ángel
Published: April 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es el de proponer herramientas para promover una mayor presencia de la creatividad y de los medios digitales en la didáctica de ELE. En concreto, se introduce el género de la poesía digital, un género a caballo entre la literatura y las tecnologías digitales, cuyas potencialidades didácticas para el aula de ELE son enormes, pues es un género que bebe de las vanguardias poéticas del s. XX y se vale de herramientas digitales de gran utilidad para cualquier usuario presente en entornos digitales. Tras definir el género, en el artículo se ofrece un repaso de las obras de poesía digital más representativas del panorama hispanohablante y se identifican los recursos utilizados por los autores para producir dichas creaciones. Por último, se ofrecen una serie de herramientas digitales y se discuten sus potencialidades a la hora de llevarlas al aula de ELE, entre las cuales destacamos la posibilidad de desarrollar tres competencias que no suelen ir de la mano: la competencia literaria, las alfabetizaciones digitales y la competencia comunicativa.
