Published: June 2022

The study reports the case of a patient with multiple aneurysms and ectasias of the coronary arteries whose first manifestation was acute coronary syndrome. This is a 42-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation. Cineangiocoronariography showed a three-vessel lesion with aneurysmatic and ectatic coronary dilations. Myocardial revascularization surgery was chosen, but he refused to undergo surgical treatment. He was discharged with optimized clinical treatment with outpatient follow-up. Months after diagnosis, the patient died and was being followed up in another service. Coronary artery aneurysm is a rare entity. The ideal management is still not well established, with doubts and disagreements about surgical and interventional treatment and when to indicate them.
The Polish Club in Prague (1887–2020)
Authors: Baron Roman , Madecki Roman
Published: June 2022

The essay presents a synthesizing glimpse into the relatively long tradition of Polish associational life in Prague (on the example of the Polish Club), which was violently interrupted during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1940) and restored after the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia (1991). Today’s Polish Club in Prague directly succeeds an organisation of the same name that originated under the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1887). It is widely regarded as the representative and speaker of all Poles permanently living in the capitol in the Czech Republic or in its immediate vicinity. It plays this role towards the state and local authorities (in particular the City of Prague Magistrate) as well as the Polish representative office in the Czech Republic, i.e. the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Prague (including its Consular Department). The activities and attitudes of the Polish Club in Prague have thus never been without significance in terms of the development of Czech-Polish relations – in particular with regard to the cultural ocial contacts, mutual recognition of both neighbouring nations or overcoming the negative heterostereotypes.

Do what extent are we responsible for improving the world? To what extent are those that do evil in the world responsible for their actions? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Roz is a retired lawyer who is assigned as a volunteer case work for Deshaun, a trouble teenager who has been in and out of foster homes his whole life and was recently released for juvenile detention for getting into a serious fight. Roz attempts to help Deshaun, but he seems unwilling to trust anyone, and views Roz only as a resource to be exploited. Deshaun runs away from his group home while on detention and is at risk of being in violation of his probation. Roz contacts him and he asks her to pick him up. She feeds him and takes him to her place to sleep for the night. The next morning he is gone, along with her family Menorah. Some time later he contacts her, now in prison for other crimes, they meet and he apologizes for not accepting her offers of help.
The genus Milnesium (Eutardigrada, Apochela, Milnesiidae) in Argentina: description of three new species and key to the species of South America
Authors: Rocha Alejandra M. , González-Reyes Andrea X. , Ostertag Belén , Lisi Oscar
Published: June 2022

A revision of microscope slides deposited between 2014 and 2017 in the collection of Rocha and Doma (National University of La Pampa, Argentina) revealed three new species of the genus Milnesium Doyère, 1840: M. pelufforum sp. nov., M. irenae sp. nov. and M. quiranae sp. nov. Milnesium pelufforum sp. nov. is mostly characterized by ten transverse bands of sculptured cuticle and pseudoplates (the first band, until now, never detected in the genus), six peribuccal lamellae and claw configuration [2-2]-[2-2] in young or [2-3]-[3-2] in senior specimens. Milnesium irenae sp. nov. is mostly characterized by complex cuticular ornamentation including a fine reticulation different from the typical one in the genus; it also has pseudoplates, six peribuccal lamellae, medioventral peribuccal papilla reduced, stylets, their furcae and supports very developed, and claw configuration [2-3]-[2-2]. Milnesium quiranae sp. nov. is mostly characterized by smooth cuticle, six peribuccal lamellae, and claw configuration [3-3]-[3-3]; with growing, the medioventral peribuccal papilla reduces and the buccal tube becomes wider. With the present contribution the genus Milnesium now has 48 valid species, and the number of described limno-terrestrial tardigrade species from South America has risen to 11, including 8 from Argentina with 5 from Salta and La Pampa province.

Published: June 2022

Context.—

COVID-19 has been associated with liver injury, and a small subset of patients recovering from severe disease have shown persistent markedly elevated liver biochemistries for months after infection.

Objective.—

To characterize persistent biliary injury after COVID-19.

Design.—

A search of the pathology archives identified 7 post–COVID-19 patients with persistent biliary injury, and the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features were assessed.

Results.—

All patients in this cohort presented with respiratory symptoms and had a complicated clinical course with acute elevation of liver biochemistries. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was markedly and persistently elevated after discharge (median peak ALP, 1498 IU/L, at a median of 84 days from diagnosis). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed 3 patients with irregularity, stricturing, and dilatation of intrahepatic ducts; no radiographic abnormalities were identified in the remaining 4 patients. Liver biopsies showed mild portal changes with features of cholestatic injury in 4 patients (bile duct injury and canalicular cholestasis) and marked biliary obstruction in 2 patients (profound cholestasis, ductular reaction, and bile infarcts), but no SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on in situ hybridization. On follow-up, most patients had minimal intervention and showed marked improvement of liver biochemistries but with mild persistent elevation of ALP.

Conclusions.—

A subset of critically ill COVID-19 patients demonstrates marked and persistent cholestatic injury, with radiographic and histologic evidence of secondary sclerosing cholangitis, suggesting that cholestatic liver disease and secondary sclerosing cholangitis may be long-term sequelae of COVID-19 acute illness as a longstanding manifestation of critical illness.
‘I love you’: the first phrase detected from dreams
Authors: Raduga Michael
Published: June 2022

Objective Many people have dreams nightly and some maintain consciousness during dreams. Such dreams are referred to as lucid dreams (LD). During dreams, our speech correlates with facial muscle activity, which is hard to decode, but LD could solve this problem. The primary hypothesis of this study was that the facial muscles electric activity during LD corresponds to specific sounds. Understanding this connection could help decode dream speech in the future.

Material and Methods Under laboratory conditions, four LD practitioners were asked to say “I love you”, a phrase with a distinctive electromyographic (EMG) signature. They did this before falling asleep and then again after becoming conscious during a dream. Their facial and neck EMG was recorded in four areas.

Results All four volunteers accomplished the goal at least once. The patterns associated with the “I love you” phrase were observed in most cases, both during wakefulness and LD. Specifically, the “I” triggered distinctive phasic activity in the submentalis area most of the time, while “you” did the same in the orbicularis oris.

Discussion This study highlights the possibility of detecting only specific and highly EMG distinctive phrases from dreams because vocalization also involves a tong and vocal apparatus. The most interesting consequence of the present results is that they indicate the possibility of creating an artificial EMG language that could be instantly decoded in reality and used during LD.

Authors: Martinez Maria Carmen , Silva-Junior João Silvestre , Latorre Maria do Rosário Dias de Oliveira , Fischer Frida Marina
Published: June 2022

Objectives To identify the factors associated with the occurrence of sleepiness among nursing professionals.

Material and Methods A case-control study nested in a cross-sectional one, conducted with 364 controls and 121 cases. Data on demographic and occupational characteristics were collected, as well as about lifestyle, physical and psychosocial work environment and somnolence. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed.

Results The independent factors associated with the presence of sleepiness were as follows: imbalance between efforts and rewards (ORa=3.81; p<0.001), high overcommitment (ORa=3.20; p<0.001), workload equal to or greater than 45 hours a week (ORa=2.30; p=0.001), situations that can generate pain/injury with moderate or high exposure (ORa=1.85; p=0.037), and night work (ORa=1.71; p=0.038). The model was adjusted by gender and age group.

Conclusion Individual and historical-occupational characteristics and, mainly, those related to the physical and psychosocial work environment, were associated with the occurrence of sleepiness. Public and institutional preventive policies must include improvements in the conditions of the physical and psychosocial work environment, as well as strengthening of the individual resources.

Published: June 2022

Introduction The experience of living with chronic pain allows for the appearance of changes in sleep patterns, mood, and stress levels.

Objective To describe the phases of stress and the quality of sleep in patients with chronic pain.

Material and Methods Cross-sectional study carried out at the pain clinic of the HUPES Complex, Salvador-Bahia. Data collection between March 2016 and November 2017. Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire, Numerical Pain Scale (EVN), Mini-Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ), and Stress Symptoms Inventory for LIPP adults (ISSL). Categorical variables were expressed by absolute and relative frequency and quantitative variables by means and standard deviation (SD). The comparison of categorical variables was performed using the chi-square test. Values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results Mean age (standard deviation) of 50.0 (10) years, 89.6% of whom were female. Predominance of people with a partner, with religion, high school, and unemployed or removed by the INSS. They have severe sleep disorders, severe pain, and the presence of stress in the resistance phase. Most subjects reveal that they have improved with the treatment and have moderate self-esteem and personal satisfaction, despite the presence of anxious and depressive symptoms.

Conclusion Chronic pain has a very significant impact on life, increasing the level of stress, compromising and limiting daily activities, and showing more presence of anxious and depressive symptoms in people who suffer from chronic pain.

Objectives This investigation aimed to compare caffeinated gums with two different dosages of caffeine (200mg vs. 300mg) by assessing their effectiveness on the improvement of cognitive functions among Iranian individuals voluntarily suffering from 30 hours of sleep deprivation.

Material and Methods Thirty-four healthy male volunteers with ages from 28 to 35 years old were randomly assigned to either 200 or 300mg caffeine intake. Each participant completed CANTAB subtests to assess their core cognitive functions including MOT, RTI, RVP, and SWM before and after sleep deprivation, as well as after being treated with caffeinated gum.

Results The 300mg caffeine intake group indicated higher levels of enhancement of core cognitive functions compared with those in the 200mg caffeine intake group.

Conclusion This study suggests that the dose of 300mg of caffeine could effectively enhance the cognitive functions of Iranian individuals suffering from sleep deprivation.
Effects of antiepileptic drugs on sleep architecture parameters in adults
Authors: Carvalho Bruno Miguel Santos , Chaves João , Silva António Martins da
Published: June 2022

Objectives Physiological and restorative sleep is fundamental for physical and mental well-being. Polysomnography parameters are objective methods to access sleep structure. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are a group of drugs whose interference in the sleep structure is still not well known, especially in what concern the new ones. We did a systematic review of the literature to compare the effect of classic and newer AEDs on sleep architecture.

Material and Methods A search was performed in PubMed and Scopus, using keywords “sleep” and “antiepileptics”, and each AED combined with “sleep”. Only studies concerning objective measures were selected.

Results 63 articles were included, only 21 were randomized, controlled and double-blinded. Studies not only in epilepsy, but also in restless leg syndrome, bruxism, insomnia, fibromyalgia and obstructive sleep apnea were found. Among classic AEDs, carbamazepine has a negative effect on sleep while phenobarbitone has a slightly dose-dependent interference and is also the only one to reduce N3 stage. Valproic acid has little to no effect while clobazam and clonazepam have a positive effect. No conclusion can be drawn about phenytoin. All of them reduce REM stage. In the newer AEDs group gabapentine, lamotrigine, perampanel, pregabaline and tiagabine increase N3 sleep in best evidence. Lacosamide and zonisamide appear to be innocent while levetiracetam reduces REM sleep.

Conclusion Studies found used different methodologies not always addressing the analysis on the same parameters. In spite of these, newer AEDs have less effects on sleep structure when compared with classic AEDs but furthermore robust evidence is needed.

Published: June 2022

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of mortality worldwide, accounting for nearly 18 million deaths per year. Among other considerations, treating CVDs requires better understanding their risk factors. Sleep-disordered breathing, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a likely contributor to several CVDs. We review key epidemiological data that addresses the link between OSA and cardiovascular outcomes such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, atherosclerosis, and heart failure (HF), and proposed pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association. There are several biological pathways linking OSA and an increased propensity to cardiovascular diseases, and we discuss the evidence on the benefits of treatments of OSA on the prevalence of cardiovascular complications.
Representation of national musical heritage of Kosovo and Metohija in northern Kosovo teaching
Authors: Lakušić Vuko , Rašković Božana
Published: June 2022

This paper presents empirical research findings with the aim to determine the knowledge and opinion of teachers on the representation of ethnic musical heritage of Kosovo and Metohija in the teaching process in the context of teaching music and physical education in the lower grades of primary schools in the north of Kosovo and Metohija. The survey was conducted on a sample of 73 teachers from the municipality of Leposavić and Kosovska Mitrovica in the course of 2019. The survey technique led to the results of this research. The subject of research is the empirical verification of the representation of popular music creativity of Kosovo and Metohija in the teaching process. The research is aimed at understanding the factors that influence the representation of national musical creativity of Kosovo and Metohija in teaching music and physical education in elementary grades. The survey results indicated that as very important contexts in solving problems of education of folk dances and songs through objects music culture and physical education an important place in the curriculum or folk dances and songs from Kosovo and Metohija, regardless of the value that they have not underrepresented in class music and physical education. The research indicated that teachers do not know enough basic music features of folk songs and dances from this region. On the other hand they are aware of the importance of applying these facilities in the preservation of national and cultural identity of the nation. The main reasons for this are, in the opinion of teachers, lack of relevant literature and teaching aids. It was concluded that teachers should be addressed to Ethnomusicology and musicapedagogical literature that can serve as a selection of materials suitable for processing school.
The reader and the narrative metalepsis in the novel 'The Attic' by Danilo Kiš
Authors: Bečejski Mirjana
Published: June 2022

As a writer who read and followed the contemporary literature and literary theory in several different languages and who intensively contemplated the act of reading and thematised it in his belletristic prose, Kiš had already problematised in his novel The Attic the most important aspects of reading, brought to light and actualised by the classical literature and placed at the centre of research by the post-classical theory of narration: the first person narration and the problem of identity of the author's I, the use of the trompe-l'œil technique, transgression of the narrative levels/narrative worlds and narrative metalepsis, the boundary between life and literature etc. The author of this paper focuses its research on the reader and the narrative metalepsis in Danilo Kiš's first romanesque novel. The first part is dedicated to the definitions of narrative metalepsis in the contemporary theoretical studies (from Gérard Genette to John Pier), the second one to the types of metalepsis in The Attic, and the third one to the Kiš's implicit concept of the good (informed, educated, empathic, immersed ) reader: the reader of The Attic and the reader in The Attic, the problem of duality, that is, the multiplication of identity of the author's I and the relation between life and literature, which is an obsessive question of Kiš's poetics. The article "The Reader with a Lamp at the Crossroads" (Kiš's concepts of the reader and Kiš as a reader), which the author of the paper published in the previous edition of the journal Baština, deals with the status and types of readers in the poetics of Danilo Kiš, therefore, this paper represents a continuation and intensification of the research in that direction.
Affirmation of Serbian sculptures in Kosovo and Metohija
Authors: Elezović Zvezdana
Published: June 2022

The paper discusses the affirmation of Serbian sculptors in Kosovo and Metohija in the second half of the XX century. It began to develop in the province in parallel with painting, and the founding of the Academy of Arts in Pristina in 1973 can be taken as a turning point. Most artists have already been involved in current creative trends in fine arts in Kosovo and Metohija and beyond. Bužančić says that sculptural achievements, as well as facts from the art scene at the time and a promising future, reject any allusion that sculpture was still a less important sector of Kosovo's art. As the founders of Serbian sculpture in Kosovo and Metohija, we can mention Svetomir Arsić Basara, Radoslav Musa Miketić, and after some time Zoran Karalejić, and they raised sculpture in Kosovo and Metohija with their artistic creation and pedagogical work. The circle of Serbian sculptors then began to expand and prosper, with new profiles and sensibilities, enriching sculptural production in the province.
The approach of Pavel Florensky to the fundamental cognitive and linguistic categories
Authors: Ašić Tijana
Published: June 2022

In this paper we try to discover how a Russian philosopher Pavel Florensky defines and analyses the nature of words, sentences and concepts in order to represent the mechanism of human thinking. He accentuates the relation between individual and collective experience that both participate in the creation of concepts. We show that in his view word semantics is dynamic phenomenon because its basic features are determined by general meanings that we acquire through Language but that we expand and modify them through our personal perception of reality. Florensky insists on the role of context in the interpretation of lexemes and states that this contributes to the economy and creativity of Language. We also explain the difference between what he calls spiritual and verbal communication. Finally, we compare the ideas of this philosopher with the findings of modern linguistic and cognitive theories and demonstrate to which extent they converge (and prove that he scientifically was ahead of his time) and to which extent they are specific and non-transparent, because they are marked by his theological approach to human beings and their most important gift - the faculty of language.
The shame of the Woman on the Rock
Authors: Ahmetagić Jasmina
Published: June 2022

Through its focus on the stream of thoughts of Marta L, overwhelmed by worry over the obvious signs of aging, Andrić's story The Woman on the Rock naturally encourages psychological interpretations. While challenging a psychoanalytic reading, we interpret The Woman on the Rock within the context of Jung's analytical psychology, employing the concept of archetypes, primarily the shadow, the persona, and the animus. We have pointed to Marta's grandiose self, the compensatory quality of her memories, as well as her ego ideal and the realization of her persona's inevitable adaptation. We dedicated a special section to her shame, which hasn't been given attention in literary science so far. The aging-related shame ongoing in the protagonist's stream of thought is connected with the shame she felt at the threshold of girlhood in front of others, in an episode that has an evident erotic connotation. Although the story illuminates Marta's relationships with the important men in her life, the key relationship in this story is Marta's relationship with herself and her body: the protagonist is preoccupied with self-evaluation, in a tumultuous, but just as necessary process of revalorizing her self assessment criteria. Marta is a typical father's daughter, who hasn't developed her female side because feminine qualities hadn't been affirmed in her raising. Hence she views her body through the eyes of a strict and judgmental animus, formed in great measure by her father's figure.
Suppression of organized crime and Serbia's accession to the European Union
Authors: Čvorović Dragana
Published: June 2022

Fight against organized crime is a proactive, strategically oriented activity of all contemporary, democratic states, both nationally and at the international level. The set limits of more efficient suppression of the most serious crimes are the result of active reforms of national normative frameworks, ratified international documents, but also intensive professional cooperation between countries in the field of detecting, combating and prosecuting organized crime. Security threats, which are extremely high when it comes to organized crime, would be difficult to combat without adequate international cooperation between democratic states. One of the countries that actively participate in international cooperation, emphasizing cooperation with European agencies is Serbia. Namely, there is a justified question of the efficiency of Serbia's cooperation with European agencies in the suppression of organized crime, the harmonization of the national framework with the acquis communautare, which is the goal of research in this paper. In accordance with that, the author, through expert and critical analysis of normative solutions, results of practical application and valid theoretical views, analyses the subject matter from the following aspects: first, introductory considerations; second, the effectiveness of financial investigations and the Action Plan for Chapter 23; third, Serbia's cooperation with European agencies in combating organized crime and reforming the normative framework; fourth, concluding remarks.
Special education provision in China: Characteristics and challenges as perceived by stakeholders
Authors: Alduais Ahmed , Deng Meng
Published: June 2022

China provides special education students with the possibility of indirect enrolment in regular education (inclusion), attendance at special classes and regular education classes (mainstreaming), admission to special education schools (segregation), or admission to home education (exclusion). This promising large system of education has several shortfalls, such as the inadequacy of curriculum, the rivalry between segregation and inclusion trends, teacher preparation, and parents' awareness of their children's needs. Objectives. In-depth interviews were conducted to uncover these strengths and shortcomings from the perspective of Chinese stakeholders. Methods. Nine in-depth interviews were conducted with special education stakeholders in China. Results. Our findings present a detailed analysis that provides a visual summary of the main strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement, as well as specific features relevant to the Chinese context. Conclusion. The results of our study furthered this discussion by revealing our participants' long experience in the field and highlighting some of the current gaps - curriculum, teacher training, the rivalry between special education and inclusive education, and the need to increase parents' awareness of their children's rights in advance of a more inclusive society.
Speech and language deficits in children with selective mutism: Cause, comorbidity, or consequences?
Authors: Drljan Bojana
Published: June 2022

Selective mutism (SM) is a disorder described from two aspects, psychological and language disorders. Researchers mainly focused on the psychological dimension of SM. However, there is an increasing number of studies indicating a significant speech and language (SL) impairment in children with SM and the possible connection between difficulties in language development and the occurrence of SM at school age. Objective. The aim of this paper was to review available research on SL deficits in children with SM, in order to clarify the cause-and-effect relationships between language and anxiety disorders in these children. Methods. Databases of the Library Consortium of Serbia and relevant Internet search engines were used for the literature search. Results. Nine research studies on SL abilities in children with SM are available in the literature. Mixed and expressive types of developmental language disorder, developmental phonological disorder, and language processing deficits are the most common SL impairments in children with SM. They occur significantly more frequently in children with SM than in children with anxiety disorders without SM and typically developing children. These deficits are often associated with learning disorders, social skills difficulties, and the risk of behavioral problems at school age. Conclusion. Existing studies have provided valuable insights into some aspects of the SL development in children with SM. However, the relationship between language deficits and anxiety symptoms is still not clear. Research on the early SL development in these children, which could shed light on the complex cause-and-effect dynamics of language and anxiety disorders seen in children with SM, is particularly scarce.
"The most ridiculous virus in the history": The role of devaluation in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
Authors: Barzut Vesna , Knežević Jasmina , Blanuša Jelena
Published: June 2022

A cross-sectional study was conducted during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (March and April 2020) in the Republic of Serbia, with the aim to evaluate the relationship between coping strategies and readiness to get a vaccine against coronavirus. At that time vaccines against COVID-19 were not developed. Coping strategies were measured on the Cybernetic Coping scale. Results confirmed that coping strategies could predict someone's negative attitudes toward vaccination. Namely, more frequent usage of devaluation was negatively associated with someone's intention to get vaccinated. It seems that underestimating the danger, believing that pandemic is not real, that COVID-19 is "just another flu-like virus" reasonably decreases the chance that someone will take precautionary measures.

Procedure for exercising the rights of a person wrongfully deprived of liberty or wrongfully convicted
Authors: Milovanović Dragana
Published: June 2022

The Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Serbia provides special proceedings for exercising the rights of a person wrongfully deprived of liberty or wrongfully convicted (Chapter 25, Articles 583-595 CPC). The introduction of such proceedings in the Serbian criminal legislation is a consequence of an enormous number of acquittals, particularly in cases where the defendant has been subjected to the most serious security measure aimed at ensuring presence of the accused person in criminal procedure. These proceedings appeared to be necessary for the purpose of exercising the wrongfully detained or convicted person's right to compensation for damage. In particular, it refers to situations where the final court decision was reversed and the person was acquitted after lodging an appeal for extraordinary legal remedies. In such circumstances, the procedure includes two interconnected stages: initiating an administrative proceeding and initiating court proceedings. Thus, if the injured party does not exercise the envisaged rights on the basis of the submitted request for initiating the administrative procedure, he/she is entitled to initiate court proceeding before the competent court against the Republic of Serbia as a responsible party. By introducing the possibility of exercising the injured party's rights in administrative proceedings, the legislator's primary goal when prescribing this procedure was to ease the courts' workload in handling collective lawsuits. In that context, the aim of this paper is to describe the process of initiating and conducting both phases of these proceedings, and to point out to some omissions in the work of the Damage Compensation Commission in the course of administrative proceedings, which are detrimental to the injured party and directly contrary to the legislator's intention. For the purpose of precluding future omissions, the author draws attention to the main drawbacks of the entire procedure.
Digital media and media legislation of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Vučković Jelena
Published: June 2022

The contemporay technological developments have been redefining human communication, concurrently raising the question whether users of online services and various media platforms can cope with so much freedom. Thus, the Internet as a global medium opens new legal issues and poses new challenges in the field of media legislation. Information policy, and legislation must adequately respond to the challenges of the new digital age. New media pose a new challenge for law and values, not only in a speculative sense but also in a real procedural and human sense. In times of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), law should not turn a blind eye to the developments in the virtual space. The development of new digital environments and media platforms raises the question whether the legislation should be the same for all media, traditional and new ones alike. The first step in addressing this issue should be the provision of a broad and realistic definition of the concept of media, which will ensure the recognition of the new media. Secondly, media regulations and principles referring to the new media should be more flexible and less strict as compared to the traditional media (but only provisionally), which is more purposeful than turning a blind eye to the new media. Non-recognition and non-regulation of information dissemination via the Internet opens the possibility of causing much greater damage to the public interest.
Animals and orthodox Christianity
Authors: Stojanović Nataša
Published: June 2022

Religion has always had a special impact on man's attitude towards animals. In this context, this paper explores the correlation between animal welfare and Orthodox Christianity, with specific reference to the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church on this issue. The research has been conducted with the aim of examining the links between animals and Orthodox Christianity, establishing whether the official position of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) promotes animal welfare, and whether its activities embody the recognition and protection of animal rights. For the purposes of this paper, the author has applied the sociological, legal-dogmatic, and historicalcritical methods. The conducted research shows that the Serbian Orthodox Church does not have an official position on animals; thus, the correlation between animal welfare and Orthodox Christianity cannot be precisely determined. Yet, due to the impact of the canons of the Holy Scriptures, it is quite certain that the Serbian Orthodox priests formally advocate for animal welfare and observance of animal rights, and officially condemn any cruel treatment against animals. On the other hand, man's love for animals must be moderate and never above man's love for God and other human beings. Orthodox Christianity does not prohibit the use of meat and fish in nutrition, nor does it consider killing animals an immoral act. Such an approach is also pertinent to Islam and Judaism, while Buddhism advocates respect for all forms of life by promoting the principle of ahimsa (non-violence), which applies to all living beings. It is clear that Orthodox Christianity does not advocate for the recognition of animals' rights to life, nor does it recognize animals as legal subjects. The twelve-year application of the Animal Welfare Act in the Republic of Serbia has shown that a number of factors hinder a better protection of animal welfare. The Serbian Orthodox Church largely contributes to such a situation by failing to promote animal welfare, protection and a more humane treatment of animals (particularly stray or abandoned animals) in its regulatory acts and social activities.
Declarations of will in the digital environment and wrap contracts
Authors: Klasiček Dubravka
Published: June 2022

Declarations of will made in a digital environment are undeniably different from the ones done in a "physical" world and some persons might not be aware of their significance. Many people join various Internet Service Provider's (ISP) sites daily. To do that, they usually have to agree to terms of service (ToS) that govern those sites. These declarations of will are sometimes direct: by clicking 'I agree', a person knows that he/she has agreed to ToS, whether he/she has read them or not. What is more important , a person is aware (or should be aware) that he/she has entered into some sort of an agreement with an ISP-a clickwrap agreement. However, on some Web pages, a person is consenting to the ISP's ToS simply by staying on and browsing the page, which constitutes a browsewrap agreement. These declarations are not direct and a person is often unaware that he/she has entered into an agreement with ISP. Furthermore, ToS often change and an ISP will sometimes not inform users about it. In those instances, users will not be aware of the changes to ToS and that, by continuing to use the ISP's services, they are agreeing to them. These are some examples of will being declared in a digital environment, without the person declaring it being aware of what he/she has done. It seems that, for some reason, people take what happens online less seriously than what happens in a "physical" world. This paper will try to show that this is a serious mistake in a digital environment.

Legal norms contained in text-driven contracts (as well as in statutes and bylaws), which are written in natural language, can be subject of algorithmic conversion in certain phases of the contract circle (implementation, monitoring, control, interpretation). The application of the blockchain concept as a structural pattern opens the possibility of creating a code-driven contract with automated execution: a "smart" contract. Algorithmization is understood as a process which enables the text of the contract to be translated into a format that is understandable to software developers. To this end, the use of the following methodologies is proposed: design of a pseudocode, application of formal logic symbols and the use of flowcharts. Successful conversion of legal prose into a code calls for cooperation between lawyers and programmers. The framework of that cooperation is the establishment of the so-called "Legal Expert System" (LES). Originally conceived by lawyers, LES is a program which allows the algorithm to solve the problem of contract execution. Contract algorithmization should convert contracts from prose to a code, while preserving contract validity and efficiency. For the time being, smart contracts cannot regulate commercially complex scenarios; thus, the de lege lata application of smart contracts as a complete replacement for traditional (analogous) contracts is excluded. A potential object of algorithmization are the primary instructions aimed at executing the characteristic performance of the contract. Contract algorithmization is an ongoing process, which is here to stay. The significance of this process is indisputable but its scope, dynamics and assumptions are still only partially defined and tested. The necessary condition (but hardly a sufficient one) is to legitimize the conception of a contract as an algorithm in the process of defining contractual provisions. Further development of this concept will depend on the functioning of other elements in the environment where code-driven contracts would be used and, above all, on the commercial response to the entire process of contract algorithmization. In effect, in order to be widely applied, contract algorithmization must become a commercially viable activity.

Metodologia visual no design gráfico: relato de uma experiência didática no ensino-aprendizagem
Authors: Rocha Cláudio Aleixo
Published: June 2022

O objetivo deste estudo está na discussão teórica dos elementos da linguagem visual apresentada por Dondis (1997); Lupton e Phillips (2008); Gomes Filho  (2009); Heller (2013); Bergström (2009); Leborg (2015) e outros teóricos que com eles dialogam. O propósito está na demonstração prática em sala de aula de como tais fundamentos são relevantes no  processo criativo de composições gráficas. A pesquisa enfatiza a premissa de que o designer gráfico, ao dominar a  linguagem visual, compreendendo cada um de seus elementos constitutivos, tem melhor domínio, habilidade e  criatividade para elaborar projetos gráficos de boa composição formal e de alta pregnância da forma. A metodologia  adota foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e o estudo de caso. Os resultados são decorrentes de atividades criativas desenvolvidas  em sala de aula com estudantes do curso de design gráfico da UFG. A partir dos estudos teóricos sobre os elementos da  composição e organização visual, dezenas de peças gráficas foram elaboradas pelos estudantes por meio do método  experimental com o uso de diferentes técnicas e materiais.
Odisea L120: gamificación de la propuesta evaluativa en una asignatura de arte y nuevos medios
Authors: Alvarez Guadalupe , Paz Micaela
Published: June 2022

El presente trabajo analiza la gamificación de la propuesta evaluativa elaborada durante el año 2020 en la materia Laboratorio I perteneciente a la Licenciatura en Artes Electrónicas de la Universidad  Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF). Dicho  laboratorio, se presenta como un espacio curricular  inicial cuyo principal propósito es ofrecer una  introducción a las artes electrónicas, la programación  creativa y la experimentación artística.  La propuesta evaluativa, denominada  Odisea L120: la experiencia virtual, fue desarrollada  como modo de superar las siguientes problemáticas:  el bloqueo creativo ante la realización de un proyecto artístico en una instancia inicial de una carrera  universitaria; el aislamiento producto de la emergencia sanitaria por COVID-19; la adecuación en  función al tiempo necesario para la realización  del proyecto; y la coherencia con los contenidos y la  metodología trabajados en el curso. La propuesta  implicó la realización de una tirada de cartas digital  con diferentes elementos -visuales, materiales,  sonoros y textuales- que funcionaron como  disparadores para elaborar una producción artística  de cierre de curso. La mecánica del juego se  estructuró a partir de una narrativa de ciencia ficción,  un conjunto de reglas y una dinámica  colaborativa entre los participantes. La evaluación de  la experiencia evidencia gran motivación entre los  estudiantes y un foco particular en el trabajo  conjunto producto del sistema de colaboraciones.  Entre las principales conclusiones se establece que  las estrategias propias del juego -tanto la apertura de  posibilidades como la imposición de límites-  resultan valiosas para estructurar instancias de  creación artística.

No âmbito educacional, quando tratamos do desenvolvimento do pensamento projetual, o grande desafio é gerar um entorno propício à transversalidade de saberes e ao aprendizado de meios que facilitem a gestão da criatividade. Nesse sentido, o dossiê número 11 apresenta o tema “A CONSTRUÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO PROJETUAL: ESTRATÉGIAS METODOLÓGICAS TRANSVERSAIS”, a partir de distintas reflexões sobre o instrumental metodológico utilizado na condução das práticas criativas em classe. Considerando o contexto multifacetado atual, cresce a demanda por abordagens pedagógicas interdisciplinares, que favoreçam a integração de saberes, a prática reflexiva e a atuação colaborativa entre alunos e professores.  Diante disso, este dossiê oferece um espaço para compartilhar experiências e disseminar iniciativas aplicadas à gestão da criatividade em diferentes campos projetuais.
Plenary Session—The Patient Journey: Access to Cancer Care
Authors: Hammon Diane K. , Souza Elizabeth A. , Chiang Anne , Shulman Lawrence N. , Kubal Timothy
Published: June 2022

As difficult as it may be to comprehend, quality affordable healthcare, particularly cancer care, is not accessible to every individual in every region of the United States. Without timely use of the full range of cancer care services, the best health outcomes cannot be achieved. To explore the scope of this contemporary scenario in cancer care and share ongoing efforts to improve access to cancer care for all, a distinguished panel shared their views at the NCCN 2022 Annual Conference. From the varied perspectives of patients, providers, and researchers, the panel featured a discussion of shared-care models at Massachusetts General Hospital and Penn Medicine Cancer Care to enable patients to expand their access to cancer care and receive that care closer to where they live. In addition, the panel explored initiatives to build and expand the network of clinical trials to enable patients to access such trials in their communities.
Updates to the Management of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Indolent Follicular and Marginal Zone Lymphomas
Authors: LaCasce Ann S. , Noy Ariela
Published: June 2022

Although follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) share similarities, the 2 diseases have distinct biologic differences that affect their presentation and treatment. Stage I disease is more common in MZL than in FL due to marginal zone biology, for example, and stage I MZL is curable by surgery or radiation therapy. Newer therapies for both FL and MZL provide chemotherapy-free options, but they are not identical. Brüton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors are active in relapsed or refractory MZL but not in FL, for example. CAR T-cell therapy has just been approved for treatment of FL and is an ongoing area of investigation for both diseases.
