Tools for agricultural drought detection in the frame of Drought Management Centre for Southeastern Europe – DMCSEE
Authors: SUŠNIK Andreja , VALHER Ajda , GREGORIČ Gregor , TROŠT Marko
Published: December 2023

Numerous specialized indices have been proposed to assess drought severity, but the precise quantification of drought is a difficult challenge. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate two indices: the well known Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Net Irrigation Requirements (NIR) derived by WinISAREG model. WinISAREG water balance model is tested in the frame of working activities of Drought Management Centre for Southeastern Europe (DMCSEE). The drought assessment for areas with different climatic characteristics in Slovenia is achieved using both indices for maize crop in the period from 1961 to 2010. A simple water balance was used for the comparison with the both indices.
Results of the indices were compared with information about drought available in the agrometeorological reports of the Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for analysed time period. For the comparison among indices qualitative analysis for the vegetation season (April-September) was performed. For this reason 1-month and 6-month Standardized Precipitation Index were used. Soil type with low soil water holding capacity was chosen for the study.
Seasonal NIR generally responds in a similar fashion to the 6-month Standardized Precipitation Index. With both indices extremely dry periods were validated by agrometeorological reports. There are some years with drought which are only confirmed by NIR and not confirmed by SPI6. SPI6 performs relatively well as indicator of long-term meteorological droughts caused by the lack of precipitation while NIR identifies also long-term agricultural droughts provoked by high evapotranspiration triggered by temperature stress. Study showed that at all locations NIR in the last ten years (2001-2010) increased on soils with low water holding capacity. NIR could be proposed as indicator for agricultural drought detection in the frame of DMCSEE.

Genska banka hmelja zagotavlja dolgoročno gensko pestrost in ohranitev biotske raznovrstnosti v kmetijstvu. Na Inštitutu za hmeljarstvo in pivovarstvo Slovenije predstavlja genska banka hmelja zbirko akcesij hmelja, nabranih na naravnih rastiščih hmelja v Sloveniji in na območju bivše Jugoslavije, ter slovenske sorte hmelja. V kolekciji avtohtonega hmelja ženskih rastlin, ki je bila nabrana v začetku sedemdesetih let na območju bivše Jugoslavije, imamo zbranih 25 različnih akcesij hmelja. Zbirko genskih virov hmelja vsako leto povečujemo z novo nabranim materialom. Pri žlahtnjenju novih sort hmelja je takšna kolekcija avtohtonega, genetsko raznolikega materiala izrednega pomena. V članku so predstavljeni rezultati vrednotenja divjih genotipov, pridobljeni z molekulskimi pristopi.
Genska banka Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede (FKBV) Univerze v Maribor
Authors: ŠIŠKO Metka , IVANČIČ Anton
Published: December 2023

Gensko banko Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede (FKBV) smo začeli oblikovati leta 1996. Prvih 10 let je delo potekalo na zbiranju in vzdrževanju rastlinskih genskih virov in je bilo prilagojeno predvsem pedagoškim potrebam fakultete in žlahtnjenja. V zadnjih petih letih se je delo reorganiziralo v skladu s smernicami Ministrstva za kmetijstvo in okolje RS. Pomemben dejavnik je bila selitev fakultete iz Vrbanske ulice v Mariboru v Hoče. Na posestvu (ob botaničnem vrtu) je bila za potrebe genske banke ograjena površina v velikosti nekaj več kot 3 ha. Sedanja genska banka FKBV obsega rodove Prunus, Rubus in Vitis, za slednjega je to dopolnilna zbirka. Trenutno je poudarek na slivah, ki smo jih zbirali in vegetativno razmnožili (s cepljenjem in stranskimi poganjki). Na polju genske banke se trenutno nahaja 48 akcesij. Materiali češenj, marelic, višenj in breskev so v fazi zbiranja oz. prenosa na površine namenjene genski banki. V nastajanju je tudi genska banka malinjaka in robid. Površina za dopolnilno gensko banko žlahtne vinske trte in njenih sorodnikov se nahaja na Meranovem in obsega 288 akcesij. V prihodnje nameravamo gensko banko razširiti tudi na genske vire nekaterih drugih vrst, ki so bile nekdaj na Štajerskem zelo pomembne, sedaj pa izginjajo. To so po naših raziskavah navadno proso, lan in velikoplodne buče vrste Cucurbita pepo, ki so se nekoč uporabljale za prehrano ljudi in živali. V gensko banko bomo vključili tudi bezge (predvsem črni bezeg - Sambucus nigra), skorš (Sorbus domestica) in hruške moštnice. Mnoge ključne genotipe imamo dokumentirane, potrebno jih je le prenesti v gensko banko.
Zbiranje genskih virov oljne ogrščice (Brassica napus ssp. napus L.) iz različnih habitatov v Sloveniji
Authors: PIPAN Barbara , ŠUŠTAR-VOZLIČ Jelka , MEGLIČ Vladimir
Published: December 2023

Oljna ogrščina (Brassica napus L.) se v naravi pojavlja v različnih habitatih, njena prisotnost izven pridelovalnih površin pa omogoča spontan prenos peloda v času cvetenja. V osnovi je navadna ali oljna ogrščina samoprašna rastlinska vrsta, vendar pa zaradi variabilne stopnje tujeprašnosti v naravi prihaja do opraševanj znotraj vrste (posevki, samosevne rastline in podivjane populacije) in med vrstami (spolno kompatibilnimi sorodniki iz družine Brassicaceae). Zbiranje genskih virov rastlin navadne ogrščice iz različnih habitatov na območju celotne Slovenije je potekalo v štiriletnem časovnem obdobju. Sočasno je potekalo tudi zbiranje semen referenčnih genotipov oljne ter krmne ogrščice, ki so se od leta 1984 pridelovale v Sloveniji. Skupno smo v obdobju od 2007 do 2010 zbrali 334 genskih virov ogrščice, od tega 195 vzorcev rastlin podivjanih populacij, 66 vzorcev samosevnih rastlin, 19 vzorcev posevkov oljne ogrščice ter 54 referenčnih genotipov. Podrobne podatke o vsakem vzorcu smo sproti beležili v posebne formularje za terensko vzorčenje. Zbiranje genskih virov iz različnih habitatov v daljšem časovnem obdobju predstavlja začetni korak raziskav, katerih namen je opredeliti dejansko stanje prenosa genov med vsemi pojavnimi oblikami ogrščice ter njihove vplive na genetsko raznolikost sorodnih rastlinskih vrst v slovenskem pridelovalnem prostoru.

Published: December 2023

The current study was conducted to test cytokinin type and concentration, and source of explant on shoot multiplication of pineapple plant (Ananas comosus ‘Queen’) in vitro during 22/6/2009 to 1/5/2010. The results of the first experiment showed that axillary buds delayed to grow during 4-5 months of culturing in MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of BA (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 mg l-1). The MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 BA has led to the vegetative growth of axillary buds. The other concentrations of BA added to MS medium led to callus growth. The results showed that MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 BA and 0.2 mg l-1 NAA gave adventitious shoots directly after two months from culturing of callus. The results of the second experiment showed that nodal segments cultured in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 kinetin was a significantly superior on other treatments studied (0.5 mg l-1 kinetin, 0.5 and 1.0 mg l-1 BA) in number of shoots/explant, leaf length, number of leaves/shoot and leaf area of formation shoot which reached 18.60 shoot/explant, 5.38 cm, 10.60 leaves/shoot and 3.64 cm2, respectively. The results showed that kinetin was a significant superior in all vegetative characteristics of shoots compared with BA.

Pravila vključujejo: Osnutek ureditve državnega učitelja čebelarstva, osnutek za vajence, načrt za splošnokoristno čebelarsko vrtnarsko šolo pod gospostvom Lanšprež in pouk za skrbnika. Pravil za čebelarsko šolo po vsebini in v obliki, kot jih je napisal Glavar, po dosedaj znanih podatkih nismo zasledili. Glavar je med drugim predpisal, da bo pouk v deželnem (slovenskem) jeziku, da se bo čebelarilo v skupnih čebelnjakih in da se na osnovi pregledov panjev določi potrebne ukrepe čebelarjenja. Pravila uradno niso bila potrjena in odobrena, kar je preprečil dvorni dekret o ukinitvi javnih učiteljev čebelarstva, ki je bil izdan 31. oktobra 1781. Glavar pa je leta 1781 odprl čebelarsko šolo na Lanšprežu.
Regular Double p-Algebras: A Converse to a Katriňák Theorem and Applications
Authors: Cornejo Juan M. , Kinyon Michael , Sankappanavar Hanamantagouda P.
Published: December 2023

In 1973, Katriňák proved that regular double p-algebras can be regarded as (regular) double Heyting algebras by ingeniously constructing binary terms for the Heyting implication and its dual in terms of pseudocomplement and its dual. In this paper, we prove a converse to Katriňák’s theorem, in the sense that in the variety

Geometric Properties of Generalized Bessel Function Associated with the Exponential Function
Authors: Naz Adiba , Nagpal Sumit , Ravichandran V.
Published: December 2023

Sufficient conditions are determined on the parameters such that the generalized and normalized Bessel function of the first kind, which is an elementary transform of the hypergeometric function and other related functions belong to subclasses of starlike and convex functions defined in the unit disk associated with the exponential mapping. Several differential subordination implications are derived for analytic functions involving Bessel function and the operator introduced by Baricz et al. [Differential subordinations involving generalized Bessel functions, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc. 38(3) (2015), 1255–1280]. These results are obtained by constructing suitable class of admissible functions. Examples involving trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are provided to illustrate the obtained results.
Distributivity of a Uni-nullnorm with Continuous and Archimedean Underlying T-norms and T-conorms Over an Arbitrary Uninorm
Authors: Jočić Dragan , Štajner-Papuga Ivana
Published: December 2023

The issue of distributivity of aggregation operators is crucial for many different areas such as fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, pseudo-analysis and measure theory, and particulary in the decision making theory. The problem of distributivity of an operator form a special class of uni-nullnorms over a general uninorm is being addressed through this paper. The class in question consists of uni-nullnorms with continuous and Archimedean underlying t-norms and t-conorms, and the results presented here are a natural continuation and extension of some previous works with an emphasis on a much wider class of uninorms as inner operators.

This paper is interested in a new sequence of linear positive operators including degenerate Appell polynomials. We give a convergence theorem for these operators and obtain the quantitative estimation of the approximation by using modulus of continuity, Peetre’s 𝒦-functional, Lipschitz class functions and a Voronovskaja-type theorem. In addition, we give a Kantorovich modification of these operators and derive some approximation properties.

Naum Eitingon és a szovjet titkosszolgálatok tevékenysége Spanyolországban és Mexikóban a 20. század első felében
Authors: Zoltán György Bács
Published: December 2023

Naum Eitingon élete ékesszóló példája a forradalom-export, mint a bolsevik forradalomelmélet egyik alaptétele megvalósításának. A kommunista világforradalom győzelme érdekében a szovjet kormány támogatta a hasonló elveket valló mozgalmakat, továbbá fedett műveleteket tervezett és hajtott végre számos országban. Az egyik ilyen műveleti terület Spanyolország volt, a polgárháború idején. Eitingon és más szovjet műveleti tisztek tevőleges szerepet játszottak a Spanyol Központi Bank aranytartalékának eltulajdonításában és elszállításában a Szovjetunióba. Egy másik műveleti terület, ahol a szovjet titkosszolgálatok és személyesen Eitingon is aktív volt, Mexikó volt. Itt talált menedéket Lev Trockij, miután elűzték Moszkvából. Eitingon kulcsszereplője volt Trockij Sztálin által elrendelt meggyilkolása előkészítésének és végrehajtásának. Eitingon alig ismert a magyar latinamerikanisták és hispaniszták körében, ezért a tanulmány célja az ő bemutatása, leginkább az elérhető orosz, angol és spanyol nyelvű források alapján.

Periodontitis Şiddetine Göre Hastaların Aktif Ve Destekleyici Periodontal Tedaviye Uyumlarının Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: TORUMTAY CİN Gizem , ŞENOL Hande
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Periodontal prognoz açısından, aktif tedaviyi takiben destekleyici periodontal tedavinin önemi bilinmekle birlikte, bu süreçte hasta uyumuna etki eden faktörler tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, aktif periodontal tedavi ve idame döneminde klinik indeksler, periodontitis şiddeti ve bireysel faktörler ile hasta uyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya periodontitis tanısı almış 112 birey dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik özelliklerinin yanısıra başlangıç periodontal kayıtları alınarak periodontitis şiddeti ve derecesi belirlendi. Aktif periodontal tedavi süreci ve 1 yıllık idame periyodunda hasta uyumuna etki eden faktörler tek değişkenli ve çok değişkenli regresyon analizi ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların başlangıç klinik periodontal ölçümleri, periodontitis şiddeti ve derecesi yönünden aktif periodontal tedaviye uyumları benzerdi (p>0.05). Katılımcıların % 38’i destekleyici periodontal tedavi sürecine tamamen uyumsuzluk gösterdi. Periodontitis şiddeti arttıkça destekleyici periodontal tedaviye uyumun azaldığı tespit edildi. Aktif periodontal tedavi fazında uyumsuz olan hastalar, destekleyici periodontal tedavi döneminde de anlamlı derecede uyumsuzdu. Çok değişkenli regresyon analizi, sigara kullanımının ve aktif periodontal tedaviye uyumsuzluğun periodontal idame dönemindeki hasta uyumunu etkilediğini gösterdi.

Sonuç: Hem başlangıç periodontal belirteçler hem de periodontitis şiddeti destekleyici periodontal tedavi fazında hasta uyumu ile anlamlı derecede ilişkilidir. Bununla birlikte, aktif tedaviye devamlılığı zayıf bireylerin idame döneminde de uyumsuz olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Şiddetli SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonlarındaki sitokin fırtınası ile periodontitisteki sitokin ekspresyon profili arasında benzerlik olduğu belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca periodontitis ile COVID-19 ve ilişkili komplikasyonları arasında olası bir bağlantı olduğu da saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı periodontal hastalık şiddeti ve SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyon şiddeti arasındaki olası ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.

GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya 241 birey dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların sistemik bulguları ve klinik parametreleri (plak indeksi, gingival indeks, klinik ataşman kaybı, sondlanabilir cep derinliği, sondlamada kanama ve diş eti çekilmesi miktarı) önceden kaydedilmiş veriler arasından elde edilmiştir. COVID-19 hikayesi olan/ olmayan hastalar kaydedilmiştir. COVID-19 tespit edilen bireylerin hastalığı geçirdiği ortam, semptom varlığı, semptom var ise hangileri olduğu, ventilasyon cihazına ihtiyaç durumu ile ilgili bilgileri kaydedilmiştir. Hastalar; sağlıklı, gingivitis ve periodontitis olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Periodontitis teşhisi olan hastalar Evrelere (I-II / III-IV) ayrılmıştır.

BULGULAR: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre periodontal hastalık şiddeti ve COVID-19 enfeksiyonu arasında ilişki ve semptom varlığı açısından fark bulunamamıştır (p= 0.366).

SONUÇ: Bu çalışmada elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda periodontal hastalık şiddeti ve SARS-CoV-2 hastalığının geçirilme şiddeti, semptomları, yoğun bakım ihtiyacı ve ventilasyon cihazına gereksinimi arasında bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Bu konuda daha fazla araştırma yapılmasına ihtiyaç vardır.

Im Juni 2023 präsentierte die Europäische Kommission das sog. Single Currency Package, dessen Kern der Vorschlag für eine Verordnung zur Einführung eines digitalen Euro (COM[2023] 369 final) bildet. Die damit forcierte Einführung von digitalem Zentralbankgeld lässt die rechtlichen Konturen des digitalen Euro klarer werden, womit der europäische Gesetzgeber sich anschickt, den Grundstein für ein neues Kapitel europäischer Geldgeschichte zu legen. Das Legislativpaket ist daher Anlass und Ausgangspunkt, die Genese von digitalem Zentralbankgeld speziell für die Eurozone näher zu beleuchten und den Verordnungsvorschlag einer ersten Analyse zu unterziehen mit dem Ziel, rechtlich kontroverse Aspekte zu adressieren. Zwei Kernfragen sind dabei handlungsleitend: Erstens, was sind taugliche Rechtsgrundlagen für eine europäische Digitalwährung? Zweitens, was folgt aus dem Design für die Rechtsnatur des digitalen Euro und damit letztlich auch für die Rolle der EZB?

Published: December 2023

Microfibers and microplastics originating from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents are significant pollutants in freshwater sources and marine environments. This research investigated the biodegradation of cotton microfibers generated from bleached cotton jersey knit fabric and commercially available flushable wipes, polypropylene-based (PP) nonwoven wipes containing a cellulose component, and tissue paper. Biodegradation was tested in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) solids, seawater, and lakewater according to the ISO 14852 and ASTM D6691 standard methods in an ECHO respirometer. Degradation experiments continued until a plateau in CO2 emissions was reached, and the final biodegradation extent was calculated relative to the theoretical CO2 produced based on elemental analysis. The results showed that the cotton and other cellulosic materials/components biodegrade to a great extent, as expected for all conditions, whereas the PP did not degrade. In general, for the cellulose polypropylene composite wipes, the cellulose biodegraded readily; the presence of the PP did not hinder the cellulose biodegradation.
The Welfare State: The Challenges of Sustainability
Authors: Kuhnle Stein
Published: December 2023

It is nothing new that ‘the welfare state’ faces serious challenges. Ever since the 1970s, Western welfare states have by many researchers been regarded as being in crisis, but despite many policy adjustments and important variations among Western welfare states, the overall scope of the welfare state, as measured by social expenditure per capita, has by and large increased. At the same time, we can observe a globalization of social policy and the emergence of a more active social role of the state in many parts of the world during recent decades.
But new challenges due to a variety of new security issues and new dimensions of uncertainty have appeared, not least following the unanticipated Russian large-scale invasion of and war on Ukraine and concomitant international political developments. Political unease about the future of the welfare state and scope of social policies in different parts of the world has escalated. Welfare political priorities must compete with increased priorities for defense, cyber security, and issues related to energy, climate, food, and the environment.
Motivations for state responsibility for citizen welfare and well-being – as well as for the type and scope of responsibility - vary. The fate of the welfare state and social policies is clearly a question of political and normative commitment to what kind of socially active state is desired. The paper addresses the following topics: Why should a state be socially active? What were historical reasons for developing welfare states? What are current motivations for developing and maintaining welfare states? What are the economic, political, and moral dimensions of welfare state sustainability? In addition to possible national political responses to social challenges, it is argued that in a globalized world reinforced international cooperation, coordination and regulation may be necessary to achieve sustainability of (national) welfare states.

Geological setting and features of localization of apatite-bearing albitites of the Novokostiantynivka ore field and the Kirovohrad ore district in tectonic structures of the Inhul Megablock of the Ukrainian Shield are considered for the first time. The typical occurrences with increased phosphorus grades are spatially related to contact of the Novoukrainka massif and the Korsun- Novomirhorod pluton: Ulianivskyi, Tymoshyvskyi, and other occurrences. Unusual sodium metasomatites with 8 % of P2O5 are spatially related to conventional apatite-less albitites. The former ones are formed inside the bodies of the latter ones as zones with thickness up to a few score of meters. Observed length of bodies of albitites rich in apatite is hundreds of meters. The apatite-bearing albitites have increased radioactivity of thorium- or mixed origin. They have anomalous grades of P, Th, REE, Y, Zr, U. For most of the elements a relation to certain minerals is identified. It is an apatite in respect to phosphorus. High Th grades are due to thorite. All features of apatite-bearing albitites listed above differ from conventional uranium-bearing albitites. The latter ones are always of uranium origin with low-grade P, and REE, Y, Ве, Zr. The ore occurrences of apatite-bearing albitites of Novokostiantynivka ore field and Kirovohrad ore district can be compared to the famous Itataia uranium-phosphorus deposit (north-eastern part of the Brazil Shield). It belongs to albitite type deposits and is confined to marble layers and metamorphic rocks of Early Proterozoic. They also can be compared to similar occurrences of the Zhovta Richka deposit of the Kryvyi Rih.

AbstrakPenggunaan pupuk anorganik dalam budi daya tanaman yang berlebihan dapat mengakibat kerusakan lingkungan. Pemberian Pupuk Organik Granul (POG) diharapkan dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk anorganik sekaligus meningkatkan produksi padi Galur Mukti Padi (GMP) 04. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kombinasi penggunaan POG dan pupuk anorganik terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi padi GMP 04, dan memperoleh dosis POG yang dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk anorganik. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) split plot dua faktor. Faktor pertama dosis POG (0, 70, dan 140 g/m2) dan faktor kedua dosis pupuk anorganik (0, 25, 50, dan 100% dari dosis rekomendasi). Data dianalisis dengan uji ANOVA menggunakan aplikasi SAS. Hasil menunjukkan pemberian POG dosis 70 g/m2 dan 140 g/m2 berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi padi GMP 04 (P <0,05). Perlakuan POG 140 g/m2 menghasilkan persentase gabah isi tertinggi. Kombinasi antara POG dan pupuk anorganik berpengaruh nyata pada parameter jumlah gabah isi/malai, bobot kering/rumpun dan bobot 500 bulir/rumpun (P <0,05). Perlakuan POG 70 g/m2+pupuk anorganik 100% menghasilkan jumlah gabah isi/malai, bobot kering/rumpun, dan bobot 500 bulir/rumpun yang lebih tinggi dari perlakuan lainnya. Penambahan POG belum mampu  mengurangi penggunaan pupuk anorganik, namun dapat memaksimalkan pertumbuhan dan produksi padi GMP 04 pada dosis 70 g/m2.AbstractExcessive use of inorganic fertilizers in plant cultivation can result in environmental damage. The provision of Granulated Organic Fertilizer (POG) is expected to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer while increasing production of Mukti Padi (GMP) 04 rice strains. The research aims to determine the effect of the combination of using POG and inorganic fertilizer on the growth and production of GMP 04 rice, and to obtain the correct dose of POG. can reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. The research used a split plot randomized block design (RAK) with two factors. The first factor is the dose of POG (0, 70, and 140 g/m2) and the second factor is the dose of inorganic fertilizer (0, 25, 50, and 100 of the recommended dose). Data were analyzed using the ANOVA test using the SAS application. The results showed that giving POG doses of 70 g/m2 and 140 g/m2 had an effect on the growth and production of GMP 04 rice (P<0.05). Treatment G2 (140 g/m2) produced the highest percentage of filled grain. The combination of POG and inorganic fertilizer had a significant effect on the parameters of number of filled grains/panicle, dry weight/clump and weight of 500 grains/clump (P<0.05). The G1A3 treatment (70 g/m2, 100%) produced a higher number of filled grains/panicles, dry weight/clump, and weight of 500 grains/clump than other treatments. The addition of POG has not been able to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer, but it can maximize the growth and production of GMP 04 rice at a dose of 70 g/m2.

Between 0.25% and 3% of admissions to the NICU, PICU, and PCICU receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Most CPR events occur in patients <1 year old. The incidence of CPR is 10 times higher in the NICU than at birth. Therefore, optimizing the approach to CPR in hospitalized neonates and infants is important.

At birth, the resuscitation of newborns is performed according to neonatal resuscitation guidelines. In older infants and children, resuscitation is performed according to pediatric resuscitation guidelines. Neonatal and pediatric guidelines differ in several important ways. There are no published recommendations to guide the transition from neonatal to pediatric guidelines. Therefore, hospitalized neonates and infants can be resuscitated using neonatal guidelines, pediatric guidelines, or a hybrid approach.

This report summarizes the current neonatal and pediatric resuscitation guidelines, considers how to apply them to hospitalized neonates and infants, and identifies knowledge gaps and future priorities. The lack of strong scientific data makes it impossible to provide definitive recommendations on when to transition from neonatal to pediatric resuscitation guidelines. Therefore, it is up to health care teams and institutions to decide if neonatal or pediatric guidelines are the best choice in a given location or situation, considering local circumstances, health care team preferences, and resource limitations.

Buildings, parks, and roads are all elements of the “built environment,” which can be described as the human-made structures that comprise the neighborhoods and communities where people live, work, learn, and recreate (https://www.epa.gov/smm/basic-information-about-built-environment). The design of communities where children and adolescents live, learn, and play has a profound impact on their health. Moreover, the policies and practices that determine community design and the built environment are a root cause of disparities in the social determinants of health that contribute to health inequity. An understanding of the links between the built environment and pediatric health will help to inform pediatricians’ and other pediatric health professionals’ care for patients and advocacy on their behalf. This technical report describes the range of pediatric physical and mental health conditions influenced by the built environment, as well as historical and persistent effects of the built environment on health disparities. The accompanying policy statement outlines community design solutions that can improve pediatric health and health equity, including opportunities for pediatricians and the health care sector to incorporate this knowledge in patient care, as well as to play a role in advancing a health-promoting built environment for all children and families.

The care of children with primary surgical diagnoses in acute care units often involves a shared surgical and medical model (“comanagement”). There are no formal guidelines for how such programs should be structured or care provided. We used a modified Delphi process, including national experts in pediatrics and pediatric medical subspecialties, pediatric surgical specialties, and pediatric anesthesiology, to develop recommendations for best practices for comanagement programs in community and tertiary care settings.
Carmen, o arquétipo da mulher demônio
Authors: Ribeiro Carvalho Sueleny
Published: December 2023

Nesta pesquisa, discuto os modos de representação da mulher em relação às teorias do erotismo fundamentadas por Octávio Paz e Georges Bataille a partir do estudo do arquétipo da mulher demônio expresso na personagem Carmen, originária da novela homônima de Prosper Mérimée, mas que ganhou reconhecimento a partir da ópera, também homônima, de Georges Bizet, tor¬nando-se um mito literário mundialmente conhecido em consequência de suas inúmeras adaptações, sobretudo para o cinema. Dentre as diversas personagens femininas que incorporam o arquétipo da mulher demônio, Carmen figura como uma das mais notáveis representações da mulher fatal. A respeito da personagem, é possível dizer que, tanto na literatura quanto nas suas diversas adaptações, o que se preserva em Carmen é a força de sua sensualidade conduzida pela carga erótica presente em sua natureza. Carmen veste-se de erotismo, principalmente por representar uma das mais contundentes encarnações do mito da mulher demônio. É justamente essa forma de representação abundante da mulher de¬moníaca que me interessa nesse estudo, pois considero que a permanência do modo de representação da personagem é reflexo de uma ideologia que tem se repetido ao longo do tempo na cultura ocidental, e que garante a manutenção das relações de poder no patriarcado. Meu objetivo é verificar a predominância de um pensamento masculino específico sobre o erotismo e sobre a mulher, que tende a situar a mulher como objeto erótico. Para tanto, fundamento minha discussão com base nos estudos feministas e de gênero, respaldada por teóricas como Judith Butler e Lisa Jardine dentre outras.
Para uma introdução ao problema da pós-modernidade
Authors: Souza Renan
Published: December 2023

O que é a pós-modernidade? O que se deve entender com essa noção que pretende falar sobre nosso tempo? Visando adentrar em um campo de discussão já bastante desenvolvido, o presente artigo busca, através de uma revisão bibliográfica de obras consagradas ao tema, introduzir um caminho possível que leve de maneira panorâmica a diferentes posições teóricas dessa polêmica noção presente em diferentes campos das humanidades, mas que aqui receberá o enfoque principal do campo da teoria social no âmbito da sociologia. Veremos que, embora muitas das características apresentadas sejam compartilhadas pelos autores, há casos de nítida diferenciação na maneira de abordá-las ou, de maneira mais distinta, há características que são visivelmente contrárias àquelas aceitas por outras. De categoria estética à categoria de época, pós-modernidade e pós-modernismo pleiteiam relevância em um cenário de mudança social nas sociedades industriais contemporâneas.
Építészek iskolája – építészek felidézett saját középiskolai környezetének környezetpszichológiai vizsgálata
Authors: Somogyi Krisztina , Dúll Andrea , Cságoly Ferenc
Published: December 2023

Háttér és célkitűzések: A kutatás központi problémája, hogy az épített környezet percepciója/recepciója akár jelentősen eltérhet építészek és nem építészek körében. Ennek fontossága abban áll, hogy a környezet pozitív vagy negatív megítélése nem esztétikai kérdés csupán, hanem összefügg többek között a térhasználattal a személy–környezet összeillés mentén, a jólléttel, az identitással, a környezeti stresszel és így tovább. A kutatás célja, hogy árnyalt képet alkosson az építész-szemléletmódról, az abban jelen lévő szakmaspecifikus és általános jellemzőkről annak érdekében, hogy a személy–környezet összeillés szempontjából harmonikusabb állapot lehetőségét feltárjuk. Módszer: A késő modern és kortárs építészet recepciójának nehézségeivel kapcsolatban számos nemzetközi környezetpszichológiai vizsgálat készült. Ezeknek a nyomán végeztük el a tanulmányban ismertetésre kerülő, az interpretatív paradigmába illeszkedő kvalitatív kutatásunkat, amely saját élményű környezet felidézésével, 32 építész saját középiskolai környezetének értelmezésével foglalkozik. A képre és szövegre alapuló elemzés a Megalapozott Elmélet (Grounded Theory) módszerével fogalmaz meg öt megalapozott elméletet. Eredmények: Az építészek interjúiban a saját középiskola épületének retrospektív felidézése nem szűkült le a szokásos fizikai ismérvek ismertetésére, hanem szociofizikai entitásként láttatott, és önéletrajzi narratívaként fogalmazódott meg. Következtetések: Az építészbeszámolók fókusza nem az épület volt, hanem az iskolában megélt élmény, ezen a szinten élményközösség mutatkozik a nem építészek tapasztalásaival. A kutatás árnyalja az építész speciális nézőpontjáról szóló kutatásokat, így elmutat az építészek és nem építészek közötti kommunikációs szakadék áthidalhatóságának irányába.

Az autoimmun hemolitikus anémia a rendelkezésre álló epidemiológiai adatok alapján egy gyakori „ritka betegség”. Az elmúlt évtizedekben a betegség patomechanizmusával, kórlefolyásával, etiológiai hátterével és potenciális triggereivel kapcsolatos tudástárunk igen sokat bővült. Ugyanakkor az autoimmun hemolitikus anémiával mint trombogén kórképpel kapcsolatos ismereteink már korántsem nyugszanak ilyen megbízható pilléreken. Evidenciának számít, hogy a dominálóan intravaszkuláris hemolízissel járó, úgynevezett korpuszkuláris típusú hemolitikus anémiák (például a paroxizmális nokturnális hemoglobinuria, sarlósejtes anémia stb…) excesszíven fokozzák a trombózisrizikót. A dominálóan extravaszkuláris hemolízist okozó immunhemolitikus anémiákkal összefüggő trombogén tendenciáról azonban megoszlanak a nemzetközi adatok. Munkacsoportunkban célul tűztük ki, hogy a Békés vármegyei autoimmun hemolitikus anémiás beteganyag adatait elemezzük, az eredményeinket a rendkívül heterogén nemzetközi adatokkal összehasonlítsuk, és hogy az aktív hemolízis idejére vonatkozó profilaktikus antikoagulálás szükségességéről szakmai véleményt formáljunk. Jelen tanulmány során a 2020–2022 között az osztályunkon kezelt, illetve a szakrendeléseinken gondozott autoimmun hemolitikus anémiás betegek adatait elemeztük retrospektíven. A betegeket a demográfiai adatok, az autoimmun hemolitikus anémia típusa, a tromboembólia előfordulása, a tromboembóliára a hemolízistől függetlenül hajlamosító tényezők jelenléte (Padua Score), továbbá a diagnózis felállításakor, valamint a tromboembóliás esemény bekövetkeztekor fennálló laboratóriumi paraméterek szerint vizsgáltuk. Betegeink mintegy 25 százalékának volt tromboembóliás eseménye az aktív hemolízis időtartama alatt. Az alkalmazott statisztikai módszerek alapján prediktorként az anémia grádusa adódott jelen vizsgálatunk során. Kiemelendő, hogy a fehérvérsejt- és a trombocitaszám tekintetében a különbség a két populáció (trombotikus eseményt elszenvedettek és trombotikus esemény nélküliek) között ugyan releváns, de statisztikailag nem szignifikáns. Tekintettel arra, hogy minden negyedik autoimmun hemolitikus anémiás betegünk tromboembóliás eseményt szenvedett el a kórlefolyás során, javasoljuk – amennyiben egyértelmű kontraindikáció nem áll fenn – a profilaktikus antikoagulálást az aktív hemolízis időtartama alatt.
