Narcos in Jesús María: Dystopian empowerment in the amateur exploitation film Corazón cubano/Cuban Heart (2014)
Authors: Dorta Walfrido
Published: November 2021

This article analyses the film Corazón cubano/Cuban Heart (), a story about drug traffickers in the Jesús María neighbourhood of Havana, circulated only through the Paquete Semanal (Weekly Package). Examining the creators’ symbolic identification with the figure of the narco, this article explores Corazón as an example of amateur, alternative and informal media within the Paquete and its relationship with exploitation, cult and trash cinema. It argues that Corazón’s appropriation of narconarratives through reparteros (the inhabitants of Havana’s peripheric and poorest neighbourhoods) is linked to the relationship between reparteros, rap and reggaeton and points to the filmmakers’ will to combine social criticism and entertainment. Corazón also reproduces controversial practices and discourses like ‘necroempowerment’ (Valencia) or ‘fascinating violence’ (Valencia and Sepúlveda), developing dystopian empowerment by appropriating the narco as a ‘cultural persona’ (Edberg).
The inheritance of silence in Cría cuervos/Raise Ravens (Saura 1976) and Julieta (Almodóvar 2016)
Authors: Hunt Mai
Published: November 2021

Looking specifically towards child figures who serve as witnesses of death and its afterlives, this article mobilizes Esther Rashkin’s psychoanalytic work on the phantom to analyse the inheritance of silence as trauma between the mother/daughter pairings presented in Carlos Saura’s Cría cuervos/Raise Ravens (1976) and Pedro Almodóvar’s Julieta (2016). As Ana in Cría cuervos and Antía in Julieta both grow up in the shadow of a parent’s death, they are forced to confront the haunting legacy of premature death and the paralysing presence of silence in their family histories. Saura’s Ana and Almodóvar’s Antía must challenge the previous generation’s secrets, which have shaped their upbringings, through the use of imagination and fantasy in order to combat the silences they were raised in, with the ultimate goal of constructing a new family narrative. By forging a new female voice through these child protagonists, Saura and Almodóvar present an enduring intergenerational project for redefining maternity and femininity in the post-Franco era.

La percepció dels patrons ascendents en les interrogatives pronominals del català
Authors: Baditzné Pálvölgyi Kata
Published: November 2021

El present estudi investiga mitjançant una enquesta anònima digital la percepció de les preguntes parcials acompanyades d’una entonació ascendent per part de 54 enquestats catalanoparlants nadius, per analitzar fins a quin punt reconeixen l’actidud de l’informant en aquests casos. Segons les nostres hipòtesis, els nadius reconeixeran si la pregunta pronominal ascendent expressa cortesia per part del parlant, o si és una pregunta seguida per un altre enunciat. Els resultats mostren que els nadius reconeixen efectivament si es tracta d’una pregunta pronominal no final, és a dir, seguida per un altre enunciat, però l’entonació ascendent sembla ser insuficient per indicar que la pregunta parcial és cortesa o no.
The Intermediate Zone of Translation Part I.
Authors: Nemes Krisztina
Published: November 2021

Translation is a par excellence cultural communication and translators are agents of cultural transfer by means of language. Literary texts provide the translator with a higher grade of freedom than any other type of texts because of the self-referentiality of art encoded in language. Decoding the original and creating a new body in a different referential system are individual hermeneutic acts of the translator. Deciphering an author’s world is a step closer to the heart of the source culture and an ever-open language-game. The challenges I met translating Irene Solà’s novel gave me a special insight to Catalan culture and the English, Italian and Spanish translations gave me the opportunity to study other translation strategies. This essay is the first in the series of traductography essays centred on the Catalan-Hungarian intercultural communication revealing the processes in the black-box of the translator’s mind that on the one hand can serve as a guide to Catalan culture and, on the other hand, as a basis for further translatology research.
The Impact of Refugee Camps on the Process of Migration Towards Europe: An Assessment
Authors:   , Paul Sebastian
Published: November 2021

In recent years, migration studies focused very much on forced displacement, especially after the influx of migrants to Europe in 2015. Some European countries accept immigrants from non-EU regions. Others blame migrants for taking advantage of Europe’s social systems and follow restrictive policy measures. The EU is as divided as never before in its history, and the process of migration to Europe has become more critical. In this context, the characteristics, fleeing reasons, and refugees’ and asylum seekers’ journeys are relevant. This dissertation looks at these factors in the framework of refugee camps. Even though refugee camps are frequently an essential part of the journey of asylum seekers and refugees on their way to Europe, there is only limited literature in this field. Thus, the research aims to analyze migration and refugee movements as a consequence of the miserable and inhumane conditions in refugee camps and identifies indicators for (mass) migration to Europe. For this purpose, and since everyone speaks about migrants, but not with migrants, I conducted quantitative and qualitative research in 192 fully-structured and 17 semi-structured interviews. The research provides a comprehensive comparison of the living conditions in non-EU and EU refugee camps, analyses their role in the process of migration to Europe, and emphasizes the differences between different camps. Furthermore, the characteristics of asylum seekers and refugees and their motives for coming to Europe were examined. The findings of the study show who these people are and from where they originate. There is evidence for the hypothesis that the majority of people flee because of severe danger (e.g., armed conflicts) and are not ‘economic migrants’ despite the claims of nationalistic governments in the EU. However, there is evidence for the hypothesis that improved living conditions in camps could reduce mass migration movements to Europe. The dissertation enhances the discussion of refugee camps in migration studies, provides new perspectives and insights about the journey of asylum seekers and refugees to Europe, and people’s characteristics leaving their country of origin.
Análisis de la Maqueta Táctil en la Perspectiva del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje
Authors: Kataoka Verônica Yumi , Carvalho Vita Aida , Mauricio Cazorla Irene
Published: November 2021

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el Modelo Táctil (MT) desde la perspectiva del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA). El MT está compuesto por piezas y por la secuencia de enseñanza Paseos Aleatorios de Jefferson (SE–PAJ), que aborda el concepto de chance. Se desarrolló una discusión teórica en dos etapas, de las cuales solo se evaluó en este artículo la tercera tarea de SE–PAJ y las partes involucradas. Las categorías de análisis de la primera etapa fueron los puntos de verificación de las tres directrices del principio 1, y en la segunda etapa solo las directrices de los principios 2 y 3. Los resultados parecen indicar que esta tarea y las piezas cumplen satisfactoriamente con los principios y directrices de la DUA para abordar el concepto de chance. Por ejemplo, la directriz «Clarificar terminología y símbolos», fue contemplada porque antes del desarrollo de esta tarea, el alumno tuvo la posibilidad de experimentar, en las tareas anteriores, situaciones que pueden favorecer la familiarización con la terminología, destacando el uso del término chance en lugar de probabilidad, estando también asociado con el concepto de equidad. Se espera que este artículo contribuya con estudios futuros que involucren la propuesta de materiales didácticos desde la perspectiva de DUA y, por lo tanto, ayuden a una inclusión más realista e integradora de todos los estudiantes.
El imperativo asistencial y el riesgo de contagio por COVID-19

Published: November 2021

La crisis provocada por la infección COVID-19 ha supuesto una exposición indeseada de los profesionales sanitarios a la infección. La Comisión Central de Deontología de la Organización Médica Colegial publicó un informe en el que concluía que el profesional estaba obligado a atender a los pacientes aún en esa situación, lo que provocó un rechazo generalizado en la profesión que hizo que fuera retirado por la propia organización. Creemos que es posible encontrar cauces intermedios de acción que permitan un mejor equilibrio entre los bienes a proteger (la salud y la vida de los pacientes y de los profesionales).

Published: November 2021

Sjöberg, M, Eiken, O, Norrbrand, L, Berg, HE, and Gutierrez-Farewik, EM. Lumbar loads and muscle activity during flywheel and barbell leg exercises. J Strength Cond Res 37(1): 27–34, 2023—It is anticipated that flywheel-based leg resistance exercise will be implemented in future long-duration space missions, to counter deconditioning of weight-bearing bones and postural muscles. The aim was to examine low back loads and muscle engagements during flywheel leg press (FWLP) and flywheel squat (FWS) and, for comparisons, free-weight barbell back squat (BBS). Eight resistance-trained subjects performed 8 repetition maximums of FWLP, FWS, and BBS. Motion analysis and inverse dynamics-based musculoskeletal modeling were used to compute joint loads and muscle forces. Muscle activities were measured with electromyography (EMG). At the L4–L5 level, peak vertebral compression force was similarly high in all exercise modes, whereas peak vertebral posteroanterior shear force was greater (p < 0.05) in FWLP and BBS than in FWS. Among the back-extensor muscles, the erector spinae longissimus exerted the greatest peak force, with no difference between exercises. Peak force in the lumbar multifidus was lower (p < 0.05) during FWLP than during FWS and BBS. Peak EMG activity in the lumbar extensor muscles ranged between 31 and 122% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction across muscles and exercise modes, with the greatest levels in the lumbar multifidus. The vertebral compression forces and muscle activations during the flywheel exercises were sufficiently high to presume that when implementing such exercise in space countermeasure regimens, they may be capable of preventing muscle atrophy and vertebral demineralization in the lumbar region.
Uncontrolled Movements
Authors: Kingham John Daimoku
Published: November 2021

The article is a discussion of the unforeseen effects of policies that Florida’s Department of Corrections has enacted over the past thirty years, specifically those concerning inmate movements to, inside, and from the institutional dining areas. It addresses the erosion of social norms among the incarcerated population as external rules have replaced informal social contracts, and the ways that prison administrators have exploited racial tensions to maintain control. The incarcerated author hopes to add an autoethnographic voice to the discussion in the literature of power dynamics in the third-largest prison system in the world.
“Swiggy it!”
Authors: Srinivas Tulasi
Published: November 2021

This article is a critical inquiry into the shifting nature of the local and the proximate during the COVID-19 pandemic, through the ubiquitous usage of food delivery software applications, or “gastro apps,” in Bangalore, India. I invite a new way to think about the local—both the lived experience of locality and its mapping in techno-location—in the face of the expanding virtual terrain of the global political economy and the foreclosing social worlds of the pandemic, to interrogate the growing disjuncture between local territory and subjectivity and the increasing conjuncture between locality and consumption. Through innovative methodologies using social media platforms, I trace the complex interactions on the popular Swiggy gastro app between migrant deliverymen and middle-class consumers in Bangalore in order to map social worlds of residency, immutability, and nearness, as well as migrancy, precarity, and distance, upon one another, which I argue form an “emergent gastro geography,” where critical interventions in taste, place, and want meet and in which the concepts of the local, the dislocated, and the locational take on new meanings.
State Capacity and Public Provision in a Socially Fragmented Nation
Authors: Halimatusa’Diyah Iim
Published: November 2021

Much research has demonstrated that progress in socioeconomic development and health infrastructure is instrumental in reducing maternal mortality. However, the effects on the maternal mortality ratio of state capacity and social fragmentation, which might change socioeconomic and health factors, are still under-studied. This study examines the extent to which state capacity (at the local level) and social fragmentation affect maternal mortality disparities across districts in Indonesia. By using district-level data and a separate analysis of old and new districts resulting from the proliferation of local government after decentralization, I find that local state capacity does matter for public health care provision. Districts that have stronger state capacity are more likely to have less maternal mortality. Also, variations in local state capacity are responsible for the prevalence of inter-regional disparities in maternal mortality in the country, in particular between old and new districts. Therefore, improvements in local state capacity, especially for new districts, will be necessary for the country to minimize the inter-regional gaps in health outcomes like maternal mortality. Unexpectedly, I do not find a significant link between social fragmentation and maternal mortality.
The Gender System and Class Mobility
Authors: Zumbyte Ieva
Published: November 2021

It is often assumed that improvements in household wealth are associated with greater gender equality, including greater women’s autonomy and decision-making power inside the home. Yet, evidence often shows the opposite: greater household wealth often curtails women’s autonomy. Research has yet to reveal the driving forces behind this surprising finding. This paper focuses on one important social force, the community gender system, to show how it shapes the relationship between changing household wealth and women’s autonomy. Drawing on a nationally representative panel of rural women in India and fixed effects models, I find that the prevalence of women’s veiling at the village level, a notable marker of an exclusionary gender system, moderates the effects of increasing household wealth on women’s autonomy. In villages with less veiling, increases in wealth have the perverse effect of suppressing women’s autonomy. The study suggests that in these places, households curtail women’s mobility because such behavior signals rising social status. In contrast, in villages with more veiling increasing household wealth does not reduce women’s autonomy because most households across the class spectrum are already conforming to the norms of seclusion. The findings demonstrate how new wealth interacts with a community gender system which is anchored in gendered notions of family honor to reproduce structures of gender inequality.
The stereochemistry and conformation of lignin as judged by X-ray crystallographic investigations of lignin model compounds: Arylglycerol beta-guaiacyl ethers
Authors: Langer Vratislav , Lundquist Knut , Parkås Jim
Published: November 2021

The conformations of a variety of crystalline lignin models representing different diastereomeric forms of structural elements in lignin of the arylglycerol b-guaiacyl ether type have been studied using X-ray crystallography. Based on X-ray crystallographic data, sequences of units attached to each other by b-guaiacyl ether linkages were constructed. The appearance of the resulting oligomers shows that stereoisomerism can be expected to influence the shape of the lignin molecules to a great extent. The constructed oligomers provide an idea about the contribution to the complexity of lignins by stereochemistry alone. It is proposed that structural differences, together with conformational variations, are the main reasons for the broadness of the signals in NMR spectra of lignins.

Published: November 2021

Purpose: to determine the influence of the experimental training program for qualified mixed martial arts fighters of 18-19 years old on their special physical fitness when performing shock actions. Material and methods. The study involved seven athletes 18-19 years old (all athletes - KMSU) department of mixed martial arts ODYUSSH «Dinamovets» in Zhitomir. A training program for qualified junior mixed martial arts fighters was developed using interval and interval-circular training methods with a wide range of general, special and competitive training means. The training program is designed for 15 weeks (may 17 - august 27, 2021) in the preparatory period of the macrocycle, therefore its predominant focus was towards physical fitness. Research methods: analysis of scientific theoretical sources, conversations with specialists, pedagogical observations, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: the dynamics of special physical readiness of qualified fighters was investigated, under the influence of an experimental training program, when performing percussion technique. The study of the dynamics of special physical readiness when performing a series of punches with hands showed significant positive shifts in the total force of punches with hands during the execution of an 8-second series (t=3,02; p˂0.05) and a 40-second series of punches (t=7,69; p˂0,001). The result of the average force of strikes (t=2,21; p˂0,05) in a 40-second series of strikes also noticeably improved. The study of the dynamics of special physical readiness when performing a series of strikes with the dominant leg revealed positive changes in the total force of strikes in the 8-second (t=3,33; p˂0,01) and 40-second (t=5,39; p˂0,001) tests. The high-speed component of the striking technique did not undergo significant positive changes, although there is a tendency towards positive dynamics (p>0,05). Conclusions. It was determined that the introduction of an experimental training program into the educational and training process of 18-19 year old mixed martial arts fighters made it possible to improve the special physical fitness of the fighters when performing specific striking techniques. In five studied indicators, a significant positive trend was obtained, confirmed by mathematical calculations. Significant positive changes in the total strength in the series of punches with the hands and the dominant leg were determined both in the 8-second and in the 40-second tests (p˂0,05 - p˂0,001). We also found a significant positive dynamics in the average force of punches in the 40-second test (p˂0,05). Keywords: mixed martial arts, qualified fighters, special physical training; interval training method; Interval-circular training method; training aids.
In silico study the interaction of heterocyclic bases with peptide moieties of proteins in the "fragment-to-fragment" approach
Authors: Velihina Yevheniia , Obernikhina Nataliya , Pilyo Stepan , Kachaeva Maryna , Kachkovsky Oleksiy
Published: November 2021

The binding affinity of model peptide moieties (Pept) and heterocyclic bases involving 1,3-oxazoles that are condensed with pyridine and pyrimidine as pharmacophores (Pharm) was investigated in silico and analyzed within the «fragment-to-fragment» approach. The anellation of the heterocyclic rings increasing their acceptor properties is accompanied by gaining stability of the [Pharm-Pept] complexes formed by the π,π-stacking interaction. It was found that elongation of the polypeptide chain led to a twofold increase of the stabilization energy of the [Pharm-Pept] complexes. The stability of the hydrogen bonding ([HB]) [Pharm-BioM] complexes formed by means of the interaction between the dicoordinated nitrogen atom of the heterocycle and the functional groups of peptide amino acids (-OH, -NH2, -SH) was evaluated. It was demonstrated that [HB]-complexes that were formed by hydrogen bonds formation with amino acid that contained OH groups had the largest stabilization effect. The anellation with pyridine and pyrimidine rings led to stability increase of the complexes formed by the hydrogen bonding mechanism. The binding energy of [HB]-complexes for compounds 2b and 3 with a «free» peptide bond of the extended part of the protein is lower compared to amino acids with OH-functional groups. On the contrary, the binding energy of compound 4 with peptides was 2 kcal/mol higher. Compound 4 demonstrated the most pronounced biological activity in vitro studies.

Sleep Apnoea and AF: Where Do We Stand? Practical Advice for Clinicians
Authors: Mittal Suneet , Golombeck David , Pimienta Jacqueline
Published: November 2021

AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Among the largest contributing factors to the rapid increase in the incidence of AF are aging and obesity within the global population. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a risk factor for AF that is clearly linked to obesity. Guidelines have advocated interrogation for clinical signs of OSA in all AF patients. The aim of this article is to provide practical advice for clinicians seeking to manage patients with AF and OSA. The authors discuss questionnaires to screen for OSA, various types of tests available for the diagnosis of OSA and data to assess the impact of treatment of OSA after various treatment options in AF patients. Finally, they outline the many areas that warrant further investigation in this patient population.
Obesity and Atrial Fibrillation: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis and Effect of Weight Loss
Authors: Al-Kaisey Ahmed M , Kalman Jonathan M
Published: November 2021

The obesity epidemic continues its relentless advance and is paralleled by an increase in the incidence of AF. Several epidemiological studies have highlighted obesity as an independent risk factor for the development of AF. This relationship is likely multifactorial through a number of interacting mechanisms. Weight loss through lifestyle changes or surgery has been associated with reverse remodelling of the atrial substrate and subsequent reduction in AF, making it an essential pillar in the management of AF in obese patients. In this review, the epidemiological data that support the obesity–AF relationship, the current insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanism, the impact of weight loss on reverse remodelling and AF reduction, and the strategies to achieve weight loss in patients with AF are discussed.
O testemunho na construção narrativa de personagens em noticiários criminais
Authors: André Hendryo Anderson
Published: November 2021

O objetivo é refletir sobre o papel do testemunho na construção narrativa de personagens em noticiários criminais. Ligada ao estatuto da confissão, essa técnica social ganhou novas dimensões em sociedades midiatizadas e se tornou relevante da produção à recepção. Para atingir o objetivo, propõe-se um diálogo entre a forma como os personagens são construídos narrativamente e a maneira como o público produz sentidos aos crimes exibidos em dois telejornais. O texto parte de uma discussão teórica sobre jornalismo, confissão e testemunho. Após a apresentação dos telejornais e do público, ancora-se nos resultados de uma análise de conteúdos realizada em 80 edições nos noticiários criminais Balanço Geral e Tribuna da Massa, ambos veiculados em Curitiba, no Paraná, e em um estudo de recepção produzido a partir de entrevistas em profundidade com 18 telespectadores desses programas. Entre os resultados observa-se a personificação das fontes oficiais, a substituição de testemunhas oculares por tecnologias de vigilância e a ascensão de um tipo especial de personagem, o familiar, aspectos que contribuem para o engajamento do público.

Authors: Naili Basma , Háber István , Kistelegdi István
Published: November 2021

The reduction of energy consumption is a major issue nowadays that should be considered during the design process. High-rise buildings represent a building type with significantly high energy consumption. They serve typically as offices with fully glazed façades, generating considerable energy demand. This study aims to optimize the envelope and the shading systems of a high-rise office building (Middle Europe). For this purpose, multiple façade variants were tested by assessing the thermal and visual comfort, as well as energy demand. The IDA ICE 4.8 building energy simulation program was used for thermal and lighting modeling and to carry out building physics calculations. Results revealed the best performing, optimized façade configuration in terms of comfort and energy efficiency.
The influence of calcium sulfate content on the hydration of belite-calcium sulfoaluminate cements with different clinker phase compositions
Authors: Mrak Maruša , Winnefeld Frank , Lothenbach Barbara , Dolenec Sabina
Published: November 2021

The influence of different amounts of gypsum on the hydration of a belite-rich and a ye'elimite-rich belite-calcium sulfoaluminate clinker (BCSA) was investigated. The hydration kinetics, phase assemblages and compressive strength development of cements prepared using ye’elimite/ calcium sulfate molar ratios of 1, 1.5 and 2 were studied. Besides ettringite and monosulfate, aluminium hydroxide, strätlingite, C−S−H, iron-containing siliceous hydrogarnet and hydrotalcite were present as hydration products. Increasing the amount of gypsum increased the ratio of ettringite to monosulfate formed in the cement paste, lowered the amount of pore solution, delayed the dissolution of belite and ferrite, decreased the formation of strätlingite and, in the case of the ye’elimite-rich BCSA, led to an increase in compressive strength. Increased amounts of belite in the clinker led to the formation of higher quantities of C–S–H, at the expense of strätlingite and a lower compressive strength, as belite has a lower degree of reaction than ye’elimite and due to the formation of more C–S–H and strätlingite compared to the more space-filling ettringite. The thermodynamic model established for BCSA cement hydration agrees well with the experimental data. Compressive strength directly correlated with bound water from thermogravimetric analyses and inversely correlated with the porosity calculated from thermodynamic modelling.
Особенности демографических процессов в Европейской России в XVIII-XIX веках: опыт анализа метрических книг трех православных приходов
Authors: Рязанов Влас Александрович
Published: November 2021

В статье рассмотрены метрические книги трех православных сельских приходов в географически разных частях Европейской России (35 тыс. записей о рождении, браке и смерти) как источник информации о демографии страны середины XVIII – середины XIX веков. Результаты обработки метрик дают оценку динамики общего социально-экономического благополучия населения России в этот временной отрезок, при котором периоды улучшения всех демографических показателей чередуются с кризисами разной продолжительности и интенсивности. Эти процессы в различной степени отражались на отдельных территориях. Из трех приходов лучшую динамику демонстрирует приход в Нечерноземье вне пригородной зоны Москвы, показатели для прихода в Черноземье ухудшает высокая смертность детского и взрослого населения, а для подмосковного прихода характерно более позднее вступление в брак. Поскольку все три прихода представляют сельское русское православное население, эти различия могут быть объяснены иными социокультурными особенностями указанных местностей.
Рождаемость в муниципальных образованиях России в 2011–2019 гг.
Authors: Петросян Артур Нельсонович
Published: November 2021

Нехватка данных до недавнего времени определяла отсутствие работ, рассматривающих демографические показатели на уровне малых территорий для всех регионов Российской Федерации. Представленная статья посвящена анализу рождаемости в 2304 ячейках муниципального уровня субъектов РФ. Исследование базируется на данных муниципальной статистики Росстата о численности женщин репродуктивного возраста по пятилетним возрастным группам и числе родившихся. Для устранения влияния возрастной структуры на локальном (муниципальном) уровне были рассчитаны стандартизованные коэффициенты рождаемости в среднем за 2017–2019 гг. Расчёты базировались на методе косвенной стандартизации, в качестве стандарта выбрано население России.

Различия в уровне рождаемости сокращаются как на региональном, так и на муниципальном уровне за счёт продолжающегося снижения рождаемости для территорий, где её уровень по-прежнему высок. Однако расчёты показывают, что отношение коэффициента вариации на муниципальном уровне к аналогичному показателю для регионов возрастает: увеличивается роль местных факторов. При анализе динамики числа родившихся было обнаружено, что происходит стремительная концентрация рождений в региональных центрах (рост с 36,5 до 42,8% в 2011–2019 гг.). В то же время около половины прироста доли родившихся в центрах субъектов РФ обеспечено изменением правил регистрации рождений.

Соотношение общего и стандартизованного коэффициента призвано оценить вклад возрастной структуры женщин в уровень рождаемости. Из-за особенностей возрастного состава населения максимальная недооценка уровня рождаемости наблюдается в малых сельских муниципалитетах Европейского Севера и Поволжья. Различия оценочного коэффициента суммарной рождаемости (КСР) на муниципальном уровне позволяют более подробно описать распределение территорий по уровню воспроизводства населения. Только 10,6% населения России проживает на территориях, где оценка КСР выше уровня простого воспроизводства (2,15). Демографическая модернизация почти не оставила значительных (по численности населения) ареалов высокой рождаемости даже в регионах, где её уровень традиционно велик (Чечня, Дагестан, Ингушетия, Тува, Алтай).

(РМЭЗ) оценивается влияние смерти членов семьи, в том числе мужчин трудоспособного возраста, на благосостояние домохозяйств, в которых проживали умершие. Показано, что данные РМЭЗ, несмотря на определенную систематическую ошибку при регистрации смертей респондентов, могут быть использованы для оценки смертности мужчин и лиц трудоспособного возраста.

Показано, что в год смерти члена домохозяйства средние реальные подушевые доходы его семьи растут, т. е. эффект от снижения размера семьи оказывается сильнее эффекта от падения общих доходов. Дело в том, что экономические проблемы домохозяйства, связанные с потерей работоспособных членов семьи, начинаются не в год смерти, а заметно раньше. В связи с этим был рассмотрен более широкий временной диапазон, от 5 лет до смерти члена семьи до 5 лет после нее. Регрессионный анализ процессов попадания в бедность и выхода из нее показал, что смерть членов семьи оказывает негативное влияние на благосостояние других членов домохозяйства. В случае смерти мужчины трудоспособного возраста домохозяйства сталкиваются с повышенными рисками попадания в бедность в течение 1-5 лет до и после этого события.

Aim: To evaluate the effects produced by functional orthodontic appliances at dental and skeletal level in relation to the level of skeletal maturation in class II patients.

Study design: Longitudinal and observational study.

Patients selected for the study had been wearing Sander Bite Jumping Appliance (SBJA) for at least 12 months; they were first diagnosed (T1) with skeletal class II according to Ricketts’ cephalometric analysis, and had had lateral cephalograms taken before and after orthopaedic treatment (T2). Variables studied at T1 and T2 were: facial convexity, inclination of the upper and lower incisors, and facial depth. Results were compared between T1 and T2 for each variable and in relation to cervical maturation stage (CVS) according to the Lamparski analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using Shapiro–Wilk, t-student, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparison tests, taking as statistically significant a p-value <0.05.

Results: A final sample of 235 patients was obtained. Statistically significant differences were found in the inclination of the mandibular incisors between T1 and T2 and among the different cervical stages when the functional appliances were placed in CVS1 (p = 0.000), CVS2 (p = 0.04) or CVS5 (p = 0.048). For the remaining variables, significant differences were also found between T1 and T2, but these differences were similar in all cervical stages.

Conclusions: A significant proclination of the mandibular incisors was found when the functional appliance was placed during CVS1, CVS2, or CVS5. Time of placement of the functional appliances was not statistically significant for the remaining variables studied.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of placing a resorbable collagen barrier in impeding the extrusion of obturation material in primary molars undergoing resorption. Study design: All the 94 canals in 47 mandibular molars were allocated to 2 groups- Group ‘A’- 47 canals with collagen barrier (Test group) and Group ‘B’- 47 canals without collagen barrier (Control group) based on randomization protocol. Pulpectomy was performed and obturation of both test and control canals were radiographically assessed. Pearson’s chi – square test was applied to analyze the results. The significance level was predetermined at p < 0.05. Results: Among the test group, 93.6% of the canals showed no extrusion while, 6.4% showed visible extrusion of the material outside the apex. In the control group, 83% showed no extrusion whereas 17% of the canals showed visible extrusion outside the apex. But no significant difference was noted (p>0.05). Conclusion: The placement of resorbable collagen barrier in the apical third of the canal prevented the extrusion of obturating material beyond the apex in resorbing primary molars.

AIM: This article describes the general characteristics of community-based mental healthcare in Mexico.
METHODS: Data from national surveys, special studies and statistics from the national information system during the period 20012017 are used. Available information on health systems, new regulations and the innovations implemented are reviewed, as well as research on psychosocial interventions conducted within the country.
RESULTS: Data show a fragmented health system with services for workers and those without social security or private care. This is a treatment system essentially based on tertiary healthcare and not integrated into the general health system, with a significant treatment gap and delay in relation to the first treatment. At the same time, a slow but steady increase in the level of care provided at primary healthcare level and in specialized community services has been observed. This trend has been accompanied by an increase in the number of medical doctors, psychologists and, to a lesser extent, psychiatrists, incorporated into the primary healthcare services. At the same time, no new psychiatric hospitals have been built; there has been a proportional reduction in psychiatric beds but no increase in mental health services or beds allocated to first contact hospitals. Research initiatives have analysed the barriers to reform, and efficient interventions have been developed and tested for the community and for primary healthcare; special interventions are available for the most vulnerable but no formal efforts have been to facilitate their implementation.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence is available regarding the implementation of the transition from reliance on tertiary healthcare to reinforced primary care. At the same time, parity, financial protection, quality and continuity of care remain major challenges.

Published: November 2021

INTRODUCTION: The limited practice of depot antipsychotics and psychoeducation use, recommended for overcoming the noncompliance of patients with severe mental disorders, is linked to a high incidence of treatment violation. Therefore, the development of personalized mental healthcare approaches is a crucial healthcare task.
AIM: To describe and differentiate the role of clinical, social and psychological factors that lead to different level of treatment engagement of psychiatric inpatients.
METHODS: Secondary analysis of findings from 91 inpatients, based on the Treatment Motivation Assessment Questionnaire and Medication Compliance Scale, as well as the Scale of Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness and Perceived Discrimination and Devaluation Scale. Factorial analysis, cluster analysis and analysis of variance with p-level=0.05 and the calculation of the effect size (ES) according to Cohens d and Cramers V were used.
RESULTS: The nature of therapy compliance in various categories of patients is mediated differentially, including: the severity of negative symptoms (ES=0.29), the global level of functioning and work maladjustment (ES=0.230.26), various motivational and behavioral styles (ES0.74) and the intensity of psychiatric stigmatization (ES0.88).
CONCLUSIONS: Consideration of the clinical, social and psychological factors should empirically determine the strategies for the personalized use of prolonged antipsychotics and socio-psychotherapeutic interventions when developing an individual treatment plan for psychiatric in-patients.
The Sukyeong Narrative as “Gothic”
Authors: Jung In hyouk
Published: November 2021

The Sukyeong Narrative, a love story between Sukyeong and Seongun, was evaluated as a work of fantasy among classic novels highlighting the problems of affection between male and female protagonists. Fantasy in the Sukyeong Narrative is more pronounced owing to the real world problems faced by the protagonists. In the process of solving the problem, the brutality of the ordeal experienced by the mysterious protagonist Sukyeong is emphasized. Since Sukyeong is a heavenly being with extraordinary abilities, the brutality of her hardships is further highlighted. Through the narrative, the characters, including Sukyeong, exhibit excessive emotional and perverse behavior, evoking bizarre, gloomy, and terrifying emotions throughout. It can thus be classified as Gothic, since the fantastic mysteries express reality with a mad gaze and evoke cruel shock. The Sukyeong Narrative not only embodies the conventional Confucian theme of a simple distinction between good and evil through its Gothic character, but also features a more popular and realistic protagonist facing the most realistic hardships reproduced in a strange and stimulating way. Therefore, the Sukyeong Narrative erupts with an energy of desire, inherent in all beings, that cannot be expressed externally. Considering its Gothic nature, this narrative is not compatible with regular pansori, which has a festive structure that ultimately dreams of forgiving, harmonizing, and coming together-in same place, “pan.” It would thus, not have been easy for the Sukyeong Narrative to be accepted as pansori.
Malaysia’s Agricultural Production Dropped and the Impact of Climate Change: Applying and Extending the Theory of Cobb Douglas Production

Under climate change, Malaysia's agricultural production showed decreasing in recent decades. This study tries to fill in the gaps to applying and extending the Cobb Douglas production function theory to examine the impact of climate change and economic factors on Malaysia's agricultural production. Using Engle-Granger (EG) test with 37 years of data from 1980 to 2016. The findings showed that the long-run estimated coefficients for rainfall, temperature, and interest rate were -0.338, -0.024, and -0.029, respectively. This indicates that each additional percent in rainfall, temperature, and interest rate will be affected the agricultural production, on average, to decrease by 0.338%, 0.024%, and 0.029%, respectively, holding others constant. Besides that, the long-run elasticity of real GDP per capita, employment, and Trend showed 0.509, 0.513, and 0.119, respectively. Increase 1% of real GDP per capita will lead to the agricultural production to increase about 0.509%, ceteris paribus. The elasticity of employment showed that each 10% increase in agricultural employment will increase the agricultural production on average 5.13%, ceteris paribus. Furthermore, the trend estimated coefficient showed that the agricultural production will have a constant growth rate which is 0.119% per year. All variables were statistically significant to explain the long-run agricultural production. The short-run rainfall, temperature, employment, and Trend were statistically significant to determine the short-run production growth. Therefore, advanced technology and the latest information on climate change are relevant to boost agricultural production growth. In addition, policymakers also suggested establishing lower interest rate loan facilities and no labor shortage in this industry.
