La mobilité sociale au Québec selon différents parcours universitaires
Authors: Connolly Marie , Haeck Catherine , Raymond-Brousseau Lucie
Published: May 2022

L’objectif principal de ce rapport est de présenter une analyse descriptive de la mobilité sociale des diplômés du baccalauréat des différentes universités du Québec selon le domaine d’études, mobilité étant ici captée par la transmission intergénérationnelle du revenu. À partir de données administratives sur l’ensemble des étudiants du Québec, il est possible d’observer les taux de diplomation ainsi que les revenus des diplômés une fois sur le marché du travail, le tout par quintile de revenu parental. Au niveau de la fréquentation universitaire de premier cycle au Québec, nous observons une surreprésentation des étudiants provenant de milieux plus aisés. Nos résultats suggèrent également que le taux de diplomation des étudiants au baccalauréat est plus faible pour les étudiants provenant de familles à faible revenu et augmente avec le quintile de revenu parental. Notre analyse de la mobilité intergénérationnelle, à l’aide d’une matrice de transition, suggère que les jeunes diplômés universitaires ont une assez bonne mobilité relativement à la population comprenant tous les niveaux de scolarité, et que les étudiants provenant de milieux moins favorisés ont une mobilité nettement supérieure à leur population de référence. Nous calculons aussi, par université et domaine d’études, une mesure de mobilité intergénérationnelle qui tient compte de l’accès aux études universitaires et de la mobilité ascendante (passer du quintile inférieur de revenu au quintile supérieur). On constate que la mobilité ascendante varie d’une université à l’autre, mais également par domaine d’études, les institutions spécialisées en ingénierie et les programmes en science, technologie, ingénierie et mathématiques démontrant les mobilités ascendantes les plus élevées. Une limite importante de nos données est que l’horizon de temps suivant l’obtention du diplôme est limité, de telle sorte que les revenus d’emploi observés ne sont pas nécessairement représentatifs du revenu permanent des diplômés.
GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY BY REUTILIZING LOW GRADE WASTE
Authors: Kumar K.Vijay
Published: May 2022

In this present scenario everything is computerized. So, usage of power is increased. But production of power is less due to lack of Natural resources. For that we need to consume electricity as much as we can. Here we are using waste management for generating electricity through a heating panel. Industrial waste is generated in industrial processes which is not put into any practical use and is lost, wasted and dumped into the environment. Recovering the waste material can be conducted through various waste heat recovery technologies to provide valuable energy sources and reduce the overall energy consumption. Keywords: Waste Management, Heating Panel, Generating electricity.
Responsabilidad civil subsidiaria de la empresa cuando la víctima del delito pertenece a su plantilla.
Authors: Sempere Navarro Antonio V.
Published: May 2022

Nuestro ordenamiento dispone que la empresa responde de los daños causados por sus empleados a terceras personas cuando sean consecuencia del desarrollo normal de la actividad laboral. Pero también responde, en ciertos casos, de los daños padecidos por uno de sus empleados como sujeto pasivo de un delito cometido por tercera persona. Este es el supuesto abordado por la STS-PEN núm. 53/2020.

Our law provides that the company is liable for damages caused by its employees to third parties when they are a consequence of the normal development of their work activity. But the company is also liable, in certain cases, for the damages suffered by one of its employees as a victim for another's crime. This is the assumption addressed by STS-PE 53/2020.

Despido por embarazo de empleada de hogar simulando desistimiento por falta de confianza. Se trata de un despido nulo, y no improcedente como se había declarado en la instancia. Los salarios de tramitación se devengan hasta la notificación de la sentencia de suplicación que por primera vez declara la nulidad y no hasta la notificación de la sentencia de instancia.

Dismissal due to pregnancy of a domestic worker simulating withdrawal due to lack of confidence. This is a null dismissal, and not inadmissible as stated in the instance. The processing wages are accrued until the notification of the judgment of supplication that for the first time declares the nullity and not until the notification of the judgment of instance.
Incapacidad permanente total cualificada: cuando se reconoce judicialmente la IPT de mayores de 55 años, salvo que quien reclama lo haya descartado expresamente, lo congruente es reconocer el derecho a percibir el complemento
Authors: Romero Ródenas María José
Published: May 2022

No hay incongruencia "ultra petitum" en el reconocimiento judicial del complemento del 20% en la prestación IPT a mayores de 55 años, salvo que quien reclama lo haya descartado expresamente, lo congruente es reconocer el derecho a percibir dicho complemento. Se reitera doctrina de la década de los noventa y dos mil, actualizando la exigencia legal e interpretativa.

There is no "ultra petitum" inconsistency in the judicial recognition of the 20% supplement in the IPT benefit to those over 55 years of age, unless the person who claims it has expressly ruled it out, the congruent thing is to recognize the right to receive said supplement. Doctrine of the nineties and two thousand is reiterated, updating the legal and interpretative requirement.

Despido colectivo. Caso Ryanair. Nulidad por incumplimiento de requisitos formales durante la tramitación
Authors: Rojo Torrecilla Eduardo
Published: May 2022

El artículo analiza la sentencia dictada con ocasión de la presentación de un procedimiento de despido colectivo por parte de la empresa Ryanair Dac. La resolución judicial desestima en primer lugar las alegaciones procesales formales planteadas por la parte demandada. A continuación, examina si se han cumplido los requisitos formales regulados por la normativa vigente, y concluye que se ha vulnerado el deber de buena fe por la parte empresarial, al haber actuado con un claro propósito de obstruir las tareas de la comisión negociadora, sin tener interés en proceder a una negociación real durante el período de consultas.

The article analyses the judgment handed down on the occasion of the presentation of a collective redundancy procedure by the company Ryanair Dac. The court decision first rejects the formal procedural arguments put forward by the defendant. It then examines whether the formal requirements laid down by the legislation in force have been complied with, and concludes that the duty of good faith on the part of the employer has been infringed, since it acted with a clear intention to obstruct the work of the special negotiating body, without having any interest in carrying out real negotiations during the consultation period.
HL7 Functionalities in RIS/PACS/HIS System Integration
Authors: Popov Mate , Mihanović Frane
Published: May 2022

Availability of data is a leading factor for the development of society. Science and technology improvement contributed to modernization of information transmission and availability systems. All areas of life are covered, including health. As a basic field for social stability, it was necessary to determine precisely the organization of every individual step in communication into any healthcare institution. Considering diversity and the amount of data, the development of unique transmission standards faced all sorts of problems. However, with the emergence of HL7 and DICOM standards, data became properly structured, thus successfully avoiding obstacles to general availability. When enrolling a patient, demographic data stay permanently recorded in the information system for medical planning and testing with the identification of obtained results. Workflows within individual departments and financial management of healthcare institutions also belong to the options of HL7 standard participating in setting basic conditions for everyday work. Enrolling all clinical data in formulated form contributes to assistance in the diagnostic and therapeutic process, and it presents key data for medical research. Software platform of complete health data integration is a fundamental precondition for the use of artificial intelligence within individual workflow for every clinical department and institution. Furthermore, integration allowed the patient access to primary medical data to establish quality and efficient cooperation. The final aim of this work is to present primary information exchange process through the HL7 standard because of overall improvement in the quality of work within healthcare institutions.
Hitna obrada ozljeda glave kod djece u Kliničkom bolničkom centru Osijek
Authors: Jovanić Tomislav , Salha Tamer , Miljko Miro
Published: May 2022

Ciljevi rada su istražiti broj učinjenih hitnih radioloških pretraga, ordinirane pretrage i udio pozitivnih nalaza (fraktura neurokranija) kod djece, napraviti raspodjelu mehanizma ozljeda, te istražiti postoji li razlika u ordiniranim pretragama među pacijentima koji su primljeni na bolničko liječenje odnosno otpušteni iz bolnice. Uzorak čine djeca do 14 godina koja su zbog ozlijeda glave s hitnog prijema upućena na radiološku obradu. Retrospektivno istraživanje provedeno je uvidom u informacijski sustav Kliničkog bolničkog centra Osijek, a razdoblje istraživanja je od 01.01.2019. – 30.06.2019. godine. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 295 pacijenata, od kojih je kod 293 učinjen kraniogram, a kod 2 pacijenta samo CT mozga i kostiju glave. Kod 111 pacijenata uz kraniogram je ordinirana i dodatna snimka. Dva pacijenta su nakon učinjenog kraniograma upućeni na CT radi dodatne evaluacije. Nakon učinjenog kraniograma (i specijalnih snimki) kod 280 pacijenata isključila se mogućnost postojanja frakture neurokranija, a kod 13 pacijenata vidljive su transparencije koje mogu odgovarati frakturi. Na CT dijagnostici kod 2 pacijenta je bila vidljiva fraktura neurokranija dok je kod 2 pacijenta ista isključena. Hospitalizirano je 42 djece dok su kod 12 pacijenata roditelji/skrbnici odbili hospitalizaciju. Prosječno trajanje hospitalizacije bilo je 2,6 dana. Kraniocerebralne ozlijede su česte u pedijatrijskoj populaciji, međutim u većini slučajeva bez ozbiljnijih posljedica. Prema najnovijim smjernicama, ne preporuča se ordiniranje kraniograma kod traumatskih ozlijeda glave.
Ocrtavanje organa od rizika u radioterapiji
Authors: Balentović Ivan
Published: May 2022

Cilj radioterapije, jedne od metoda liječenja onkoloških bolesnika, je kontrola rasta tumora, ali pritom treba paziti na moguće komplikacije uzrokovane zračenjem u okolnom zdravom tkivu. Potrebno je predati propisanu apsorbiranu dozu području od interesa, dok istovremena predana doza na okolno zdravo tkivo, posebno organima osjetljivim na ionizirajuće zračenje, treba biti što manja. Prilikom izrade plana terapije zračenjem posebnu pažnju treba posvetiti organima osjetljivim na ionizirajuće zračenje (eng. organ at risk, OAR), jer ono može prouzročiti patološke promjene na zdravom tkivu sa nepovratnim oštećenjima. Organi od rizika zorno su prikazani podjelom u 4 različite anatomske strukture (glava i vrat, prsni koš, abdomen i zdjelica). Opisana je njihova osjetljivost na primljenu apsorbiranu dozu u ovisnosti o njihovoj strukturi i podjela na serijske ili paralelne organe rizika. Budući da njihova tolerancija na apsorbiranu dozu utječe na planiranje liječenja i/ili propisanu tumorsku dozu, dana je tablica s doznim ograničenjima za pojedine organe rizika. Za provođenje terapije zračenjem potreban je tim koji se sastoji od specijalista radioterapije i onkologije, medicinskih fizičara i radioloških tehnologa. Točno i precizno ocrtavanje ciljnih volumena i organa od rizika važan je čimbenik u ishodu liječenja radioterapijom. Nakon ocrtavanja ciljnih volumena slijedi izrada plana zračenja te određivanje položaja izocentra na pacijentu i terapija zračenjem. Ovaj članak predstavlja multidisciplinarni model s ciljem poboljšanja osiguranja kvalitete u fazi planiranja zračenja.
Singularity Terrorism: Military Meta-Strategy in Response to Terror and Technology
Authors: Evans Woody
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the responses to advanced and transformative technologies in military literature, attenuates the conclusions of earlier work suggesting that there is an “ignorance of transhumanism” in the military, and updates the current layout of transhuman concerns in military thought. The military is not ignorant of transhuman issues and implications, though there was evidence for this in the past; militaries and non-state actors (including terrorists) increasingly use disruptive technologies with what we may call transhuman provenance.
Swarms Are Hell
Authors: Evans Woody
Published: May 2022

The use of advanced technologies, even of so-called transhuman technology, does not make militaries transhuman. Transhumanism includes dimensions of ethics that are themselves in direct conflict with many transhuman capabilities of soldiers in warfare. The use of advanced weapons of mass destruction represents an anti-humanism that undermines the modern, open, and high-tech nation state.
Are Technological Unemployment and a Basic Income Guarantee Inevitable or Desirable?
Authors: Hughes James
Published: May 2022

The question is a simple one: if in the future robots take most people’s jobs, how will human beings eat? The answer that has been more or less obvious to most of those who have taken the prospect seriously has been that society’s wealth would need to be re-distributed to support everyone as a citizen’s right. That is the proposition we used to frame this special issue of the journal, and the contributors have explored new and important dimensions of the equation.
The Pleasure Principle as a Tool for Scientific Forecasting of Human Self-Evolution
Authors: Argonov Victor Yu.
Published: May 2022

The pleasure principle (PP) may be a verifiable fundamental law of the living matter in the universe, and this law might then be used for forecasting human self-evolution. I do not pretend to “prove” PP, but argue that it must be regarded as a scientific hypothesis. Accordingly, I formulate verifiable and falsifiable postulates of PP. Their confirmation would allow the construction of a new scientific discipline, hedodynamics, that would be able to forecast the future development of human civilization and even the probable structure and psychology of other rational beings within the universe. I suggest basic hedodynamical scenarios for human (posthuman) civilization and argue that the discovery of the neural correlate of pleasure would provide more detailed forecasts. In particular, I demonstrate how the studies of pleasure mechanisms might predict the degree of aggression in future societies. I conclude that PP may become a scientific basis for fundamental, not phenomenological (based on extrapolations), future forecasting on large timescales.
Ancient Definitions of Personhood and Difficult Social Precedents
Authors: LaGrandeur Kevin
Published: May 2022

This article discusses the basic philosophical and legal standards applied to defining the existential status of two artificial androids, the golem and the homunculus, during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, when their creation was actually considered possible and often believed to be an accomplished fact.  It will also show how the historical definition of personhood has generally coincided with Aristotle’s notions, which he provides mainly to determine who is worthy of slavery.  These sorts of historical stances on personhood are important because they elucidate the difficult social precedents facing any redefinition of non-human personhood today.”
What Is A Person And How Can We Be Sure?
Authors: Schwartz Wynn
Published: May 2022

A Paradigm Case Formulation (PCF) of Persons is developed that allows competent judges to identify areas of agreement and disagreement regarding where they draw a line on what is to be included as a person. The paradigm case is described as a linguistically competent individual able to engage in Deliberate Action in a Dramaturgical Pattern. Specific attention is given to the ability of paradigm case persons to employ Hedonic, Prudent, Aesthetic and Ethical perspectives in choosing their Deliberate Actions and Social Practices.
The Provocative Elitism of “Personhood” for Nonhuman Creatures in Animal Advocacy Parlance and Polemics
Authors: Davis Karen
Published: May 2022

Animal advocates cannot allow the idea to take hold that only the great apes and certain other “higher” animals are fit to be “persons.” Working to change the moral status of the great apes or sea mammals, for example, is a legitimate and important undertaking, but it should not be done at the expense of other animals. Such thinking is not only disconnected from real animals in the real world; it perpetuates the view that beings belonging to species deemed “nonpersons” or “merely conscious” are of lesser, or no, moral significance until or unless, through an institutionalized system of painful, stressful, and demeaning experiments over decades or centuries, some of them might “prove” themselves worthy of being called persons or semi-persons or sort-of-persons entitled to whatever privileges such designations may confer.
Human Metasystem Transition (HMST) Theory
Authors: Last Cadell
Published: May 2022

Metasystem transitions are events representing the evolutionary emergence of a higher level of organization through the integration of subsystems into a higher “metasystem” (A1+A2+A3=B). Such events have occurred several times throughout the history of life (e.g., emergence of life, multicellular life, sexual reproduction). The emergence of new levels of organization has occurred within the human system three times, and has resulted in three broadly defined levels of higher control, producing three broadly defined levels of group selection (e.g., band/tribe, chiefdom/kingdom, nation-state/international). These are “Human Metasystem Transitions” (HMST). Throughout these HMST several common system-level patterns have manifested that are fundamental to understanding the nature and evolution of the human system, as well as our potential future development. First, HMST have been built around the control of three mostly distinct primary energy sources (e.g., hunting, agriculture, industry). Second, the control of new energy sources has always been achieved and stabilized by utilizing the evolutionary emergence of a more powerful information-processing medium (e.g., language, writing, printing press). Third, new controls emerge with the capability of organizing energy flows over larger expanses of space in shorter durations of time: bands/tribes controlled regional space and stabilized for hundreds of thousand of years, chiefdoms/kingdoms controlled semi-continental expanses of space and stabilized for thousands of years, and nation-states control continental expanses of space and have stabilized for centuries. This space-time component of hierarchical metasystem emergence can be conceptualized as the active compression of space-time-energy-matter (STEM compression) enabled by higher informational and energetic properties within the human system, which allow for more complex organization (i.e., higher subsystem integration). In this framework, increased information-energy control and feedback, and the consequent metasystem compression of space-time, represent the theoretical pillars of HMST theory. Most importantly, HMST theory may have practical application in modeling the future of the human system and the nature of the next human metasystem.
Technological Unemployment, AI, and Workplace Standardization: The Convergence Argument
Authors: Saner Marc , Wallach Wendell
Published: May 2022

The current debate over technological unemployment sacrifices significant analytic value because it is one-sided, limited in scope, and sequential. We show that analyzing technological innovations in parallel with apparently independent socio-economic innovations and trends offers important analytical benefits. Our focus is on socio-economic innovations and trends that standardize education, workplace requirements, and culture. A highly standardized workplace is not only more suitable for international outsourcing; it is also more suitable for machine labor. In this context, we identify five specific research questions that would benefit from parallel analysis and scenarios. We also introduce the concepts “functional equivalency” and “functional singularity” (in juxtaposition to technological singularity) to provide semantic tools that emphasize the importance of an integrated approach, capable of tracking and analyzing two interacting and potentially converging trends.
What World Do We Want?
Authors: Wennemann Daryl J.
Published: May 2022

Amitai Etzioni’s From Empire to Community traces the fundamental socio-political problem of our time to that of maintaining human primacy. He argues that the tendency of our technological means is to overtake our ability to assign worthy goals for their application. His analysis of the possibility of forming a cosmopolitan order can be applied fruitfully in a posthuman context in which emerging technologies pose a challenge for constructing a posthuman political and moral order. In this context, the task is to maintain posthuman primacy. I show that there are several converging lines of thought and supportive social factors that underwrite the construction of a posthuman cosmopolitan order. I argue that self-consistent recursivity must be applied to the very procedural character of reflexive modernization of institutions and to the creation of posthuman beings that may participate in the creation of a future cosmopolitan social order.
Don’t Worry about Superintelligence
Authors: Agar Nicholas
Published: May 2022

This paper responds to Nick Bostrom’s suggestion that the threat of a human-unfriendly superintelligence should lead us to delay or rethink progress in AI. I allow that progress in AI presents problems that we are currently unable to solve. However, we should distinguish between currently unsolved problems for which there are rational expectations of solutions and currently unsolved problems for which no such expectation is appropriate. The problem of a human-unfriendly superintelligence belongs to the first category. It is rational to proceed on that assumption that we will solve it. These observations do not reduce to zero the existential threat from superintelligence. But we should not permit fear of very improbable negative outcomes to delay the arrival of the expected benefits from AI.
The Value of Consciousness and Free Will in a Technological Dystopia
Authors: McCay Allan
Published: May 2022

Yuval Noah Harari warns of a very pessimistic future for our species: essentially, that it may be superseded by non-conscious Artificial Intelligence that can do anything we can and more. This assumes that we are physically instantiated algorithms that can be improved on in all respects. On such an assumption, our labor will become economically worthless once AI reaches a certain level. This picture, however, changes markedly if we accept the views of David Hodgson in respect of consciousness, free will, what he calls plausible reasoning, and the relationship among these. On Hodgson’s account, there will always be valuable skills requiring a particular kind of judgment that are possessed by humans, but not by non-conscious algorithmic machines, however advanced.
Morality's Collapse
Authors: Zandbergen Robbert
Published: May 2022

In the present work I explore the unignorably momentous responsibility of contemporary philosophy to conclude the project of humanism as inherited from Enlightenment-era thinking. I argue that there are presently two avenues open to us. On the one hand there is antinatalism, according to which humankind must be gestured towards self-imposed extinction and thereby overcome. On the other hand, there is transhumanism which inspires the hope that we may transcend any limitations to our being and flourish as a result of radical enhancement, thereby also overcoming humankind. On both accounts, the ‘human’ is something to be overcome, either negatively (antinatalism) or positively (transhumanism). As both have a common ancestor in radical Enlightenment-era humanism, this choice between radical resignation and affirmation becomes all the more pertinent now that we find ourselves in modernity’s wake and in the ruins of morality’s collapse.
Destiny and Desire
Authors: Blackford Russell
Published: May 2022

The prospect of radical human enhancement challenges us with how we can even think about the choice to enhance or not enhance. Whether as individuals or as citizens of liberal democracies, we already recognize the prospect of a future that is defined by technology, without being able to predict or imagine what it will be like or how we should try to influence it. We can also be sure that radical enhancement of ourselves as individuals, or of a large proportion of our fellow citizens, will alter the very standards and values by which we, as individuals or polities, later evaluate decisions to enhance – this is one version of the more general problem of transformative choice. In response to these challenges, it is plausible that we have no alternative to choosing and acting on our current desires and values (perhaps as “corrected” by rational reflection on what we more deeply care about), rather than our expected future values or some set of values that is objectively authoritative for us. On the other hand, our current value-outlooks include a degree of openness to our desires and values themselves changing, and for this reason we can often finesse the problem of transformative choice when it arises in everyday situations. On the gripping hand, this does not entirely solve the problem when it comes to something as dramatic and unprecedented as radical enhancement. There is some reason for an incremental, rather than apocalyptic, approach, even if we are sympathetic to a human future shaped by radical enhancement initiatives.
The New European Medical Device Regulation: Place of Surgeons in the Clinical Evaluation
Authors: Benabdallah Farid , Johanet Hubert
Published: May 2022

The new European medical devices regulations now require manufacturers to evaluate the devices used by surgeons over the long term, which is necessary both to support CE marking and marketing applications and to monitor their performance and safety. The adherence of the Health Care Professionals (HCP) to the clinical evaluation and to the studies is essential to deliver quality data, which supports the files of CE marking, and ultimately contributes to the innovation of health technologies.
Scarcity of Emotional Care and Depression: A Psychoanalysis of This Close to Happy by Daphne Merkin
Authors: Lone Mohd Sarfraz , Kumar Amit
Published: May 2022

Depression is the most problematic psychic disorder which comprises imbalanced life, uneasiness, grief, agonies, unhappiness, unpleasantness, the unsatisfied outlooks and the worries affecting the psyche of a person. Whenever, anyone loses something dear or loved, or there is any tragedy, difficulty, death, etc, the person feels depressed. The depressed person due to the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness deviates from the normal course of life and suffers from anxiety and pessimism. This Close to Happy is a deeply personal and intimate account of the life of Daphne Merkin. She has powerfully written the heartbreaking and illuminating life events to manifest both the symptoms and courage to overcome depression. She writes about the trauma in her childhood caused by the stay with her holocaust surviving parents leading her to depression later on. Though her family was financially sound, still Merkin and her siblings were made to live with some abusive caretakers leaving a scar on her psyche to push her into depression. Her mother would always almost all the time remain emotionally absent. Her father was extremely cruel and indifferent towards his children. She would have the thoughts of committing suicide and contemplate about death every time. As she came under the grip of depression, it became impossible for her to eat or talk properly even to her therapist. She underwent continuous therapy for almost more than forty years. This memoir is a significant attempt to break the stereotype of pretending to be alright and show all the inner and outer struggles to battle courageously the affects of depression.

Published: May 2022

Sports and games became a focal point in establishing a strong relationship wherever we lived. It is a familiar and comfortable venue for connection with each other because sport is a complex activity, which become a sort of war on human muscles and mind. We have witnessed a revolution in the wide arena of sports. Basketball is a highly competitive game and it demands high physical qualities. The prime physical qualities are explosive strength, strength endurance, agility, speed, various coordinative abilities, etc. Height without fitness or technical ability without endurance becomes a liability. In all court games, including Basketball, fast starts, sudden stops, and quick change in direction are basic to good performance. Everybody knows that Basketball is a game which requires high degree of movement, and the players should be physically fit to have a control over the game. Basketball was introduced in the olympic programme at the 1904 games in St Louis an a demonstration event. Basketball was first contested as a medal event at the 1936 olympics. Women’s basketball meanwhile made its debut at the montreal 1976 games. Start from the origin in 1891 in springfield, Massachusetts the game achieved almost immediate acceptance and popularity. In 1936 it also introduced in Olympics and plays a better version itself. USA dominated basketball olympics. However Indian basketball team scripted history by qualifying summer olympics in Moscow . After that period the performance of team started diminishing till now the uplift does not reaches the height forthcoming performance of indian team excel in future and touches the new sky.

Стаття присвячена російсько-українській війні. В статті наведено низку причин виникнення цієї війни. Основні причини це імперські амбіції, бахвальство, бажання показати всьому світові, що Росія може робити будь що безкарно. Росія після воїн в Чечні, Грузії, Сирії вирішила розпочати повномасштабну війну в Україні. Росія сформувала особливий вид фашизму, який отримав назву «Рашизм».
Наслідки російсько-української війни не зрозумілі. Можливі різні сценарії від песимістичних, які передбачають застосування ядерної зброї та переростання російсько-української війни у третю світову. Є помірковані сценарії і є оптимістичні. Наприклад, варіант внутрішнього перевороту у Росії та розпаду Росії на окремі держави.
Уроки війни. Кожне зло вчить якимось речам. Головний наслідок. Світ не буде таким як був до 24.02.2022. Світ згуртувався. Головне завдання майбутнього – зробити світ без воїн.
Das Recht und seine Voraussetzungen
Authors: Fischer Franz-Alois
Published: May 2022

Die Frage nach einem »Dritten Weg« der Rechtsbegründung jenseits von Naturrecht und Rechtspositivismus hält die Rechtsphilosophie bis heute in Atem. Auf Grundlage spezifisch juristischer Fragestellungen rekonstruiert diese Untersuchung Hegels Rechtsbegriff als einen eigenständigen Entwurf gegen die Legitimationsparadigmata der Moderne. Ausgehend von einem Rechtszustand, der sich nicht von einem Naturzustand ableitet, vertritt Hegel einen dezidiert antidualistischen Rechtsbegriff, dem ein Vorrang des Rechts und damit des Geistes vor der Natur eingeschrieben ist. So bekommt Hegel das eigentümliche Verhältnis des Rechts zu seinen Voraussetzungen in den Blick.

Doch wie können wir wissen, ob etwas „gut“, „schön“ oder „heilig“ ist? Schon Sokrates hat gezeigt, wie schwierig es ist, uns da sicher zu sein und Kriterien dafür anzugeben.

Richard Schaeffler untersucht in diesem Buch verschiedene Arten von Erfahrung, und zwar die sittliche, ästhetische und religiöse Erfahrung. Mittels eines phänomenologischen Zugangs prüft er die Bedingungen dafür, dass sich uns etwas in der Qualität des Schönen, Guten bzw. Heiligen zeigt, wie auch die Bedingungen, die wir selber erfüllen müssen, wenn es möglich sein soll, dass die Sache uns diese ihre Aspekte zeigen soll. Im Weiteren geht es um den Schritt von dem, was sich uns zeigt, zu unserer Erfahrung. Dazu bedarf es der Anwendung von Begriffen. So macht erst die Anwendung des Begriffs des Guten es möglich, vom subjektiven moralischen Erleben zur objektiv gültigen sittlichen Erfahrung überzugehen. Ähnlich ermöglicht erst der Begriff des Schönen die ästhetische Erfahrung, erst der Begriff des Heiligen die religiöse Erfahrung.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to describe the overall experience of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parent at time of transition home related to discharge medication use, following implementation of a Meds to Beds program.

METHODS

A descriptive, qualitative study was used to explore parent experiences around medication use during transition home. Eleven parents whose infants required medications at the time of transition home from the NICU participated in a semi-structured telephone interview post-discharge. The data were coded and analyzed for themes.

RESULTS

Major themes nested within the key stages of medication use in preparation for transition home from the NICU were identified: in-hospital preparation (practice early and often, Meds to Beds, and relationship with clinical pharmacist), transition home (schedule and routine, strategies for medication administration) and post-discharge (refills and long-term medication management). Strategies based on parent experiences to improve the process and ameliorate anxiety are presented.

CONCLUSIONS

Parents expressed how effective the Meds to Beds program was on the transition home by increasing parental confidence and knowledge around medications and reducing stress around the acquisition of medications for home. They also reported comfort in having a relationship with the NICU clinical pharmacist, providing a tailored approach to coordinating care both in hospital and during the transition home. Regardless of implementation of a Meds to Beds program, great opportunities remain to refine the transition home. Implementing the suggested improvement strategies could provide significant positive effects with respect to patient care and parental stress during the transition home.

OBJECTIVE

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in children are an important but underestimated public health issue. This study describes ADRs in a registered pediatric population of Bologna and demonstrates that ADRs might be better detected after health care personnel training.

METHODS

A prospective cohort was recruited from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2019, after health care worker sensitization, and compared to a retrospective cohort enrolled from 2013 to 2016. The ADRs are classified by system organ classes and drugs are categorized according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system.

RESULTS

We retrospectively recruited 78 pediatric patients with ADRs in the 2013 to 2016 period, and we prospectively enrolled 127 children in the 2016 to 2019 period. In both periods, most of the ADRs reported were classified as non-serious reactions (68.8%). The most frequent ADRs were general and administration site disorders. During 2013 to 2016 vaccines were the most frequent cause of ADRs (83.3%;) and the main reporters were health care workers other than physicians (84.6%), whereas during the second period, medical doctors become the main signalers (65.4%) and ADRs related to vaccines significantly decreased (55.1%). During the 2016 to 2019 period the number of drug categories was higher than in the 2013 to 2016 period (24 vs 8). Patients with ADRs due to vaccinations present more frequently a favourable outcome (63%).

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates that active pharmacovigilance and health care personnel sensitization are associated with improved ADR detection, providing valuable information about drugs' safety profile in pediatric patients.

Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE

Pharmacy-driven antibiotic dosing services have been shown to improve clinical outcomes in adult patients. This study evaluated the effect of a pharmacist-driven antimicrobial dosing service on the percentage of therapeutic serum concentrations achieved following initial vancomycin or aminoglycoside dosing regimens. A secondary objective was to determine the effect of the dosing service on nephrotoxicity in pediatric patients.

METHODS

This single-center, retrospective study used data obtained from an electronic medical record to evaluate the utility of a pharmacist-driven vancomycin or aminoglycoside dosing protocol. Assessments of target, subtherapeutic, and supratherapeutic serum concentrations were evaluated. The occurrence of changes in serum creatinine and presentation of acute kidney injury (AKI) were also determined.

RESULTS

The incidence (n [%]) of a therapeutic initial serum concentration was not statistically significant between pre-protocol and post-protocol groups (21 [46.7%] vs 22 [48.9%], respectively; p = 0.834). The incidence of initial supratherapeutic concentrations (19 [42.2%] vs 7 [15.6%]; p = 0.005) and the average number of supratherapeutic concentrations per antibiotic course (0.76 vs 0.26; p = 0.01) were higher in the pre-protocol group compared with the post-protocol group. The incidence of AKI was significantly lower in the post-protocol group (2.2% vs 13.3%; p = 0.049).

CONCLUSIONS

Implementation of a pharmacist-driven dosing service did not affect the likelihood of achieving an initial therapeutic concentration. However, it did reduce the likelihood of both supratherapeutic concentrations and AKI. Additional studies in pediatric patients are needed to affirm the use of pharmacist dosing services.

OBJECTIVE

Despite lack of benefit, antibiotics are overused in management of asthma exacerbation in children. In this study, data from a single children's hospital were analyzed to identify factors and outcomes associated with antibiotic use in children hospitalized with asthma.

METHODS

The study population was identified by using administrative data from 2012 to 2015, with subsequent verification of asthma. We analyzed factors associated with antibiotic use (demographic, seasonal, clinical) and outcome (length of stay [LOS]) with respect to: 1) disposition to pediatric floor (PF) or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU); and 2) evidence of coexisting bacterial infection and/or fever. Statistical analysis included univariate and controlled regression models. Data are presented as median and IQR for continuous variables and OR and regression coefficient (β) with 95% CIs for regression analyses.

RESULTS

Of 600 patients, 28.8% were admitted to PICU, 14.8% had verified bacterial infection, and 53.8% received antibiotic, mainly azithromycin. Nearly all PICU patients were treated with antibiotic, irrespective of coexisting bacterial infection or fever. Among PF patients, nearly 30% without bacterial infection or fever and 40% with fever alone received antimicrobials. Overall risk for antibiotic treatment was associated with older age, female sex, desaturation events, oxygen supplementation, and PICU admission. Additionally, antibiotic treatment was associated with 13- to 19-hour increased LOS for PF patients without bacterial infection and/or fever.

CONCLUSIONS

Almost half of pediatric patients admitted with asthma exacerbation received antibiotic therapy with no clear indication, which was associated with prolonged LOS.

OBJECTIVE

Recently, a premature neonate, born at 26.5 weeks, was treated with sirolimus for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon at the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital. Because of the lipophilic properties of the drug and an inability to draw the correct dose needed for the neonate with the standard 1 mg/mL concentration, sirolimus was diluted to 0.01 mg/mL (10 mg/L) in medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of sirolimus diluted in MCT oil.

METHODS

Commercially available sirolimus oral solution was diluted with MCT oil from 1 mg/mL to 10 mg/L. The diluted samples were prepared by measuring 0.1 mL of the commercial product in an oral syringe and mixing with 9.9 mL of MCT oil. The 3 diluted samples were placed in amber glass vials, stored at 10°C, and analyzed over 14 days.

RESULTS

The initial concentration of the 3 samples ranged from 8.5 to 10.8 mg/L sirolimus, or 85% to 108% of the target value. No significant differences were seen between average concentrations on the days tested. However, the average drug concentration fell to approximately 90% of the theoretical 10 mg/L target concentration between days 7 and 10.

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows that sirolimus oral solution diluted with MCT oil to a final concentration of 10 mg/L was stable for at least 7 days when stored at 10°C, suggesting that the beyond-use date should be 7 days.
