The aim of the present study is to investigate content and structure of social representation concerning the institution of psychological support in the military. Research is focused on stigma’s representation and on searching possible differences depending on military personnel’s status and education. The main obstacle on seeking psychological support in the military seems to be stigma, self or public. Even though adjustment to military environment and handling warfare provoke several difficulties on thought, emotions or behavior, avoiding psychological support seems to be common place among military personnel globally. Educating military personnel (Ν=143) participated to a research about social representation’s structure analysis with Vergès’ (1994) free association method. Content analysis was used for data coding and representation’s structure analysis about trainees’, soldires’ and officers’ procedure of seeking psychological support. Results indicated several interesting findings about stigma’s content and structure depending on military duty, education and role. Implications of future research are made.
Παρουσίαση και Περιγραφή της Συνέντευξης Παιδιών για τον Δεσμό (Child Attachment Interview, CAI)
Authors: Ντούμα Μαρία
Published: November 2020

The aim of the present paper is to introduce the Child Attachment Interview (Child Attachment Interview, CAI· Target, Fonagy, & Smhueli-Goetz, 2003) to Greek scientific audience. In particular, the paper aims to describe the construct, the coding and classification system, and the psychometric properties of the Child Attachment Interview. CAI is a semi-structured interview, which was adapted from the Adult Attachment Interview (George, Kaplan, & Main, 1996) to children aged 8 to 15 years old. The aim of the interview is to investigate children’s representations of their parents’ emotional availability and their parents’ ability to offer security and comfort to them when they have difficult times in their lives. The interview has also been used in Greek population in a comparative study between adopted and non-adopted children (Ntouma, Vorria, & Vairami, 2013).

Social axioms are generalized beliefs about oneself, the social and physical environment, or the spiritual world, and take the form of assertions about the relationship between two entities or concepts (Leung &Bond, 2002). The cross-cultural five factors structure: Social Cynicism, Reward for Application, Social Complexity, Fate Control and Religiosity, has been identified in Greece, while a sixth factor emerged in past studies. The present qualitative study aims it investigating the cultural specific social axioms. 362 students, young and older adults participated in 52 semi-structured interviews and 374 participated in 54 focus groups presenting their social axioms regarding the following topics: work, socio-economic crisis, family, religion, mental health, interpersonal and intergender relationships. According to the findings, the participants seemed deeply concerned with all the aspects of theongoing socio-economic crisis in relation to the unemployment, while family, interpersonal relationships and religion seemed to be critical in supporting Greeks during their everyday life and life planning.

The present study examines the effects of different forms of national attachment – namely blind patriotism (unquestioned attachment to one’s country), constructive patriotism (critical approach to in-group practices for the improvement of the country, Schatz, Staub, & Lavine, 1999), and collective narcissism (unrealistic beliefs about the in-group’s “greatness”, Golec de Zavala, Cichocka, Eidelson, & Jayawickreme, 2009) – on support for aggressive acts against low (immigrants) and high status (Germans) out-groups, using data collected from a sample of 124 Greek men and women. Results showed that collective narcissism had indirect effects on support for aggressive acts against both immigrants and Germans, through its effects on blatant and subtle prejudice (Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995). Blind patriotism had both direct and indirect effects (through blatant prejudice) on support for aggressive acts against immigrants only, while constructive patriotism had a direct negative effect on support for aggressive acts against Germans only. The discussion focuses on how these different forms ofnational attachment affect intergroup relations, depending on out-group status.
The what, who, why and how of skin tears in the community and care homes
Authors: Stephen-Haynes Jackie
Published: November 2020

Skin tears frequently occur following a simple trauma, but can become chronic and complex wounds if inappropriately assessed and managed, particularly if on the lower leg. It is important for health professionals, patients and carers to understand the principles of prevention and the importance of fundamental skin care. Identifying those at risk can help with the development of a specific preventive approach. This article offers a brief overview of the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) best practice recommendations for holistic strategies to promote and maintain skin integrity.

Sex chromosomes of eutherian mammals are highly different in size and gene content, and share only a small region of homology (pseudoautosomal region, PAR). They are thought to have evolved through an addition-attrition cycle involving the addition of autosomal segments to sex chromosomes and their subsequent differentiation. The events that drive this process are difficult to investigate because sex chromosomes in almost all mammals are at a very advanced stage of differentiation. Here, we have taken advantage of a recent translocation of an autosome to both sex chromosomes in the African pygmy mouseMus minutoides, which has restored a large segment of homology (neo-PAR). By studying meiotic sex chromosome behavior and identifying fully sex-linked genetic markers in the neo-PAR, we demonstrate that this region shows unequivocal signs of early sex-differentiation. First, synapsis and resolution of DNA damage intermediates are delayed in the neo-PAR during meiosis. Second, recombination is suppressed or largely reduced in a large portion of the neo-PAR. However, the inactivation process that characterizes sex chromosomes during meiosis does not extend to this region. Finally, the sex chromosomes show a dual mechanism of association at metaphase-I that involves the formation of a chiasma in the neo-PAR and the preservation of an ancestral achiasmate mode of association in the non-homologous segments. We show that the study of meiosis is crucial to apprehend the onset of sex chromosome differentiation, as it introduces structural and functional constrains to sex chromosome evolution. Synapsis and DNA repair dynamics are the first processes affected in the incipient differentiation of X and Y chromosomes, and they may be involved in accelerating their evolution. This provides one of the very first reports of early steps in neo-sex chromosome differentiation in mammals, and for the first time a cellular framework for the addition-attrition model of sex chromosome evolution.
Characteristics of and meningococcal disease prevention strategies for commercially insured persons receiving eculizumab in the United States
Authors: Bozio Catherine H. , Isenhour Cheryl , McNamara Lucy A.
Published: November 2020

Introduction

Eculizumab is a licensed treatment for several rare, complement-mediated diseases. Eculizumab use is associated with an approximately 2,000-fold increased meningococcal disease risk. In the United States, meningococcal vaccines are recommended for eculizumab recipients but there are no recommendations on use of long-term antibiotic prophylaxis. We describe characteristics of and meningococcal vaccine and antibiotic receipt in U.S. eculizumab recipients to inform meningococcal disease prevention strategies.

Methods

Persons in the IBM® MarketScan® Research Databases with ≥1 claim for eculizumab injection during 2007–2017 were included. Indication for eculizumab use, meningococcal vaccine receipt, and antibiotic receipt were assessed using International Classification of Diseases-9/10 diagnosis codes, vaccine administration procedure codes, and antibiotic codes from pharmacy claims, respectively.

Results

Overall 696 persons met the inclusion criteria. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) were the most common indications for eculizumab use (41% and 37%, respectively); 20% had an undetermined indication. From June 2015 through December 2017, 28% (41/148) of continuously-enrolled patients received ≥1 serogroup B vaccine dose. For serogroup ACWY conjugate vaccine, 45% (91/201) of patients received ≥1 dose within five years of their most recent eculizumab dose, as recommended. Of eculizumab recipients with outpatient prescription data, 7% (41/579) received antibiotics for ≥50% of the period of increased risk for meningococcal disease.

Conclusion

Many eculizumab recipients had an undetermined indication for eculizumab use; few were up-to-date for recommended meningococcal vaccines or were prescribed antibiotics long-term. These findings can inform further investigation of how to best protect this population from meningococcal disease.

REDESCOBRINDO A DECLARAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DE PRIVACIDADE: MAIS DE 70 ANOS E UMA REFLEXÃO NECESSÁRIA
Authors: Cristo Camila Kohn de , Costa Mateus Stallivieri da , Cristóvam José Sérgio da Silva
Published: November 2020

O artigo debate o papel da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos no tocante à proteção da privacidade no período atual. Objetivando-se entender o fenômeno da tutela e do direito da privacidade em uma sociedade altamente conectada, realiza-se uma revisão bibliográfica por meio de pesquisa teórica, descritiva e qualitativa, adotando o método dedutivo. Com o questionamento quanto à possibilidade de a privacidade estar se extinguindo na modernidade, o artigo se estrutura a partir de uma análise do histórico da temática. O estudo constata que, inicialmente, a tutela da privacidade era atrelada a outros direitos, como à propriedade e, posteriormente, à honra, atingindo apenas, mais modernamente, uma independência. Apesar de surgir como um direito burguês e de natureza liberal, evoluiu para uma construção social, influenciada fortemente pela própria Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos. A necessidade de internalização do direito nos regimes jurídicos nacionais permite uma atualização constante, algo que não é diferente no Brasil, que constitucionalizou o tema e expandiu a tutela por meio de diferentes normativas. Por fim, a pesquisa permite concluir que o direito à privacidade não está em extinção ou mesmo se esvaindo, na realidade ele permanece em constante adaptação, exigindo do legislador e do intérprete atualizações que garantam a sua tutela.

A través de ello, se fueron construyendo dinámicas de intercambio de propuestas metodológicas y conocimientos, lo que permitió visibilizar las complejidades y tensiones en la articulación de una institución educativa universitaria pública con un movimiento social y puso a su vez en cuestión la formación universitaria en un contexto de intervención concreta.
Synthesis and Characterization of SiO2/ZnO Nanocomposites from Zinc Waste and Mount Merapi Volcanic Ash
Authors: Sunardi Sunardi , Silviana Silviana
Published: November 2020

Research on the synthesis and characterization of SiO2/ZnO nanocomposites from zinc waste and Mount Merapi volcanic ash has been carried out. The semiconductor used was ZnO using a SiO2 as the host material. The use of SiO2 was due to its high efficiency and abundant raw materials. This is because the eruption of Mount Merapi occurs regularly every four years. Apart from the abundant presence of SiO2, the source of ZnO from lathe workshop waste is also easy to obtain. The research aims to reduce the volume of zinc waste from the lathe and volcanic ash, which was not optimized. Zinc waste and volcanic ash were synthesized into nanocomposites. Then the obtained nanocomposites were characterized to determine their effectiveness in degrading various wastes. The synthesis of SiO2/ZnO nanocomposites was carried out using the sol-gel method as easy and highly effective. The method used is to transform zinc waste into Zn(OH)2. The volcanic ash was extracted with KOH to form potassium silicate (K2SiO3). Zn(OH)2, (K2SiO3) and HCl were reacted together when sonicated, then calcined at 550°C. The results showed that SiO2/ZnO nanocomposites made from volcanic ash and zinc waste produced composite sizes with a size range of 100-200 nm and a uniform circular shape. FTIR analysis results show that SiO has the peaks at wavenumbers of 993.34 and 1109.07 cm-1, while the ZnO peak is at wavenumbers of 443.63 cm-1. The XRD diffractogram of SiO2/ZnO nanocomposites shows peaks at 2θ of 30.42°, 31.56°, and 44.40°.

РАННИЕ СЛАВЯНЕ В ПОВЕСТИ ВРЕМЕННЫХ ЛЕТ МИФЫ ЛЕТОПИСЦЕВ И ИСТОРИОГРАФИИ
Authors: Фонт Марта
Published: November 2020

The author of the Primary Chronicle (PC) had a dual purpose of proving the legitimacy of the dynasty of Scandinavian origin and recording the traditions of the ethnic Scandinavian and Slavic populations. The author of this paper endeavours to analyse the authenticity of information provided in the PC concerning the origin of early Slavs. Before a critical method of studying medieval narrative texts was developed in the late 19th and the early 20th century, the authenticity of medieval chronicles had not been questioned. Therefore, the 19th century historiography treated all the information from medieval texts as authentic. In Russian historiography it was A.A. Shakhmatov who while dealing with the PC, laid down the foundations of the critical method in dealing with chronicles. He was the founder of the famous school of historical philology which has placed text analysis at its centre. Despite this approach, a “new hypothesis” appeared in the last decades of the 20th century (see the linguistic theory of O.N. Trubachev) gained wide publicity both in Russia and abroad. Trubachev’s theory did not take into conssideration the results of either text analysis or the findings of archaeology and was a return to the position from the 19th century. The author of the paper shows that this theory was a blind alley.

In Polish literature, the perception of the organisation of glass production during the Roman Empire was shaped mostly in the 1980s and the 1990s. Thus the local model of glass production prevailed in these publications. In this paper, based on archaeological and written sources, the author challenges this point of view towards the centralised model of glass production widely accepted by scholars.

Keeping Faith: A Conversation With Michael White
Authors: Duvall Jim , Young Karen
Published: November 2020

This interview with Michael White for the Journal of Systemic Therapies consisted of a series of conversations that occurred over a five-year period, beginning on October 22, 2002 and ending October 4, 2007, almost six months prior to his death. All of the interviews occurred following five-day training programs that Michael was teaching at the Hincks-Dellcrest Institute in Toronto, Canada. The initial interview began with Adrienne Chambon, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto and Jim Duvall. Adrienne teaches narrative studies at the University of Toronto. She was unavailable for the second meeting, therefore, Karen Young, who is a BTTC-I faculty member, was asked to join the discussion. Michael was invited to step into the foreground of this conversation by providing glimpses of particular aspects of his life, rendering him more visible to the readers. These aspects of his life provided themes of circumstances that could be illuminated and their influences regarding the development of many of the ideas and practices that constitute what we now identify as narrative therapy, could be better understood. We were particularly interested in Michael's notion of keeping faith, staying true to those important sentiments, learnings, and circumstances in life that clarify what is important that we give value to.

Carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) foi diagnosticado na mucosa esofágica de uma galinha doméstica (Gallus gallus domesticus), fêmea, adulta, criada de forma extensiva. Na necropsia foi observada uma massa no esôfago. Macroscopicamente era uma lesão firme, de superfície irregular que obstruía o lúmen do órgão. No exame histopatológico da lesão do esôfago evidenciou-se neoplasia infiltrativa e não encapsulada de células epiteliais escamosas. As células eram arranjadas em cordões e trabéculas, por vezes formando ninhos, nos quais havia estruturas eosinofílicas concentricamente laminadas (pérolas de queratina), sustentadas por moderada quantidade de estroma fibrovascular. O CCE não é comumente diagnosticado no esôfago de aves. Muitas aves com dificuldade de deglutição e emaciação morrem e são descartadas sem a realização de um diagnóstico confirmatório da causa da morte. Alerta-se para necessidade da realização do exame histopatológico para o diagnóstico definitivo desses casos.

We need to re-define how we and the public, private and voluntary sectors agree and then manage projects, investments and organisations. How should we calculate what are the best actions to take which will result in the most added value to the stakeholders?

Promiscuidad, familia y docencia: las tensiones entre disidencia y normalización sexual en Taxi al W.C. de Frank Ripploh
Authors: Rubino Atilio Raúl
Published: November 2020

Me interesa indagar las tensiones entre disidencia sexual y homonorma en una película clave para la disidencia sexual en Alemania, Taxi al W.C. (1980), de Frank Ripploh. Pensar la sexualidad en términos de disidencia implica tener presente que siempre esta se da respecto de una norma. En el caso de la película de Ripploh se trata de una norma interna a la comunidad gay, una incipiente homonormatividad. De esta forma, se plantean los modos de vida vivibles para un Schwul de los ochenta y las formas de vida ininteligibles y, por eso, abyectas. La doble vida que el personaje autoficcional de Ripploh lleva adelante —una vida íntima como homosexual promiscuo y una vida social como maestro de escuela— se complejiza convirtiéndose en una triple vida —maestro de escuela, Schwul promiscuo y gay monógamo—. La película de Ripploh presenta una serie de prácticas disidentes y promiscuas y lo hace de forma explícita: baños públicos, saunas, cines, exhibición de cuerpos, BDSM, lluvia dorada, pornografía, deseo sexual infantil. Estas prácticas se ven tensionadas con una incipiente asociación de la promiscuidad disidente con el posible contagio de enfermedades, que se adelanta a la crisis del VIH-SIDA y al uso biopolítico de la enfermedad. De esta forma, siguiendo a Deleuze y Guattari, podemos resignificar la idea de enfermedad para pensar en el contagio vampírico, como una transmisión monstruosa-disidente que se opone a la filiación familiar. Así, la salida pública del armario por parte tanto del personaje autoficcional como del propio director, protagonista y guionista puede pensarse como un contagio disidente que —a diferencia de la filiación familiar— contrarresta la producción de normalidad del Hetero Capitalismo Mundial Integrado
Wave or Trend
Authors: Weikert Joshua J.
Published: November 2020

The 2018 elections saw a record number of women running for elected office in the United States and in Pennsylvania, but whether this represents a temporary wave or a lasting trend is not clear. Using a combination of survey data; interviews of new candidates, elected officeholders, and party officials; and election data, this study examines the gender equality gains of 2018 in Pennsylvania’s legislature in historical and political context. The data provide evidence that formal recruitment of female candidates was common (but not universal), that the number of women running for and winning office increased by historic (and not just significant) levels, and that a persistent and consistent motivation was discernible in large portions of the candidate body. Survey measures of female candidate persistence—whether they plan to run again or recruit new candidates—also indicate that women intend to remain similarly active after the 2018 election cycle has come and gone.

Rhythm Control in Heart Failure Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Eysenck William , Saba Magdi
Published: November 2020

AF and heart failure (HF) commonly coexist. Left atrial ablation is an effective treatment to maintain sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with AF. Recent evidence suggests that the use of ablation for AF in patients with HF is associated with an improved left ventricular ejection fraction and lower death and HF hospitalisation rates. We performed a systematic search of world literature to analyse the association in more detail and to assess the utility of AF ablation as a non-pharmacological tool in the treatment of patients with concomitant HF.
Adaptation of Religion and Local Wisdom in Global Environmental Issues in Indonesia
Authors: Rozi Syafwan , Taufik Zulfan
Published: November 2020

This study focuses on how the adaptation efforts and survival strategies of local communities in Indonesia to the non-natural pressure on nature and the value of their local wisdom in protecting and preserving the environment. Anthropological, ecological, and related literature on local communities are used as a review and analytical framework. The selected local communities are the Mentawai tribe, the slopes of Mount Merapi, and the Balinese in Indonesia. These three case studies show that the adaptations and strategies carried out by local communities are diverse and have different knowledge implications. The Mentawai tribe in maintaining the tradition of arat sabulungan and Balinese in revitalizing Wariga can adjust and adapt well when faced with natural ecological cycles and non-natural penetration. That is because its application is more flexible, practical, and intellectual than putting forward the device of beliefs and myths. While the case of the local community on the slopes of Merapi, which has local significance in the form of cosmological teachings in disaster management, tends to prioritize faith that is rooted more in myth than knowledge related to the objective world. Therefore, when this set of knowledge in local wisdom struggles to surpass marginalized status, the two cases of the Mentawai and Balinese communities can become persuasive and adaptive. In contrast, the local community on the slopes of Merapi is more challenging to adapt. The study also recommends that it is time for traditional knowledge originating from local wisdom in Indonesia to be adapted, modified and used as an essential resource in managing contemporary environmental issues effectively and collaboratively.
About the nonlinear acoustic parameter during deformation of AMG61 alloy
Authors: Ilyahinsky A. V , Rodyushkin V. M
Published: November 2020

Various acoustic effects are used in the study of deformation processes. Acoustic emission is most often mentioned in such studies, and the effects due to nonlinear properties of a deformable metal are the subject of the present work. These properties of real solids lead to nonlinear acoustic effects of the interaction elastic waves forbidden by the theory of elasticity of a homogeneous isotropic body. The work solves the problem of using the principles of nonlinear acoustics in studying the deformation of AMg61 alloy samples. A surface elastic wave is used to control the alloy condition. The process of the elastic wave propagation in the deformed AMg61 alloy due to nonlinear effects is accompanied by generating the double frequency, both of the longitudinal component of the wave and the shear one, the latter is forbidden by equations of the classical elasticity theory. Excitation and reception in the samples was carried out by piezoelectric converters (PES). A wedge converter with a resonance frequency of 1MHz was used to excite the surfactant. The passing surfactant was recorded by a wedge converter with a resonance frequency of 2 MHz. We justified the control technique of the nonlinear acoustic parameter with respect to amplitudes of the first and second harmonics measured during the whole deformation process. An experimental device has been developed to control the nonlinear acoustic parameter in the process of changing the structural state of the sample metal. The pilot study results of the nonlinear acoustic parameter under Amg61 alloy deformation are given. It is shown that the nonlinear acoustic parameter, as well as the acoustic emission activity, is sensitive to changing mechanisms of the defective structure evolution. The non-linearity jump formation during deformation of alloy AMg61 is recorded, which may indicate adjustment of the metal structure. The presented data demonstrate the increase of acoustic nonlinearity in metal at various deformation stages, both at early stages of elastoplastic deformation and at pre-destruction stage, which can be used as the prognostic criterion.
Modernity and the Belgian Congo
Authors: Fraiture Pierre-Philippe
Published: November 2020

This article will explore the intellectual context in which French-Belgian colonial writing developed from the turn of the twentieth century to the late 1930s. This period is marked by a gradual shift from evolutionism to cultural relativism. The analysis will first focus on the Tervuren colonial exhibition of 1897 and the progressive emergence of Belgian africanism in the early twentieth century. Secondly, it will account for the ways in which this overall context bore witness to new and somewhat less Eurocentric conditions of possibility. Subsequently, the article will attempt to draw parallels between these more inclusive and seemingly less orientalising anthropological paradigms and the advent, first in France and then in Belgium, of a rejuvenated brand of colonial literature (or indigenous realism) which, for all its openness and eagerness to embrace modernity, did not result in radical rejections of colonialism on the part of its promoters. Finally, two Belgian novels in French – M. L. Delhaise-Arnould’s Amedra (1926) and H. Drum’s Luéji (1932) – will be analysed to appraise whether or not their authors’ objective to reconstitute Congolese indigeneity is a strategy to oppose Belgian modernity against Congolese supposed pre-modernity.
Leopard-men of the Congo in literature and popular imagination
Authors: Van Bockhaven Vicky
Published: November 2020

The Anyoto leopard-men, a society from eastern Congo, operated between approximately 1890 and 1935. Until now the history of the leopard-men has inspired representations of Central Africa as a barbaric and disorderly place, and the idea that a secret association of men attacked innocent people and ate their limbs remains dominant in western culture. Since the early 20th century this image has been rather faithfully perpetuated in colonial ethnography and official reports and in popular representations of Africa. The Anyoto costumes in the collection of the Royal Museum for Central Africa have in particular inspired leopard-men iconography in western sources until today. There are certain striking similarities between western fictional literature on the Anyoto society and the factual sources, such as eyewitness reports from colonists and missionaries. Both share the historically rooted and culturally-specific representation of people from outside their own areas. In Europe there has been a long tradition of representing heathens and non-Europeans as being half man, half beast and behaving like animals, including eating their own species. Such cultural predispositions have stood in the way of understanding the real purposes of this society. Anyoto men’s activities were a way of maintaining local power relations, performing indigenous justice in secret and circumventing colonial government control.
Die inkerende waarneming
Authors: Du Plooy Heilna
Published: November 2020

In this article the relation between Breyten Breytenbach’s paintings and poems is discussed focusing on images relating to vision, seeing, looking and eyes. Based on the interpretation of selected paintings, of which some are used on the covers of the volumes of poetry and a number of poems, the conclusion is reached that the same poetics and ars combinatoria underlie painting and writing in Breytenbach’s oeuvre. Seeing, writing and living are opposed to blindness, non-vision, silence and death. In die windvanger (“the wind catcher”) similar motifs are used but the emphasis is changed as the ability to see is more markedly associated with insight and an attempt to understand.
Exploring the Potential for Just Urban Transformations in Light of Eco-Modernist Imaginaries of Sustainability
Authors: Hagbert Pernilla , Wangel Josefin , Broms Loove
Published: November 2020

This article approaches urban ethics through critically examining the production and reproduction of an eco-modern socio-technical imaginary of sustainable urban development in Sweden, and the conditions and obstacles this poses for a just transformation. We see that notions of ecological modernization re-present problems of urban sustainability in ways that do not challenge the predominant regime, but rather uphold unjust power relations. More particularly, through an approach inspired by critical discourse analysis, we uncover what these problem representations entail, deconstructing what we find as three cornerstones of an eco-modern imaginary that obstruct the emergence of a more ethically-engaged understanding of urban sustainability. The first concerns which scales and system boundaries are constructed as relevant, and how this results in some modes and places of production and consumption being constructed as more efficient—and sustainable—than others. The second cornerstone has to do with what resources and ways of using them (including mediating technologies) are foregrounded and constructed as more important in relation to sustainability than others. The third cornerstone concerns the construction of subjectivities, through which some types of people and practices are put forth as more efficient—and sustainable—than others. Utilizing a critical speculative design approach, we explore a selection of alternative problem representations, and finally discuss these in relation to the possibility of affording a more ethical urban design and planning practice.
“TO LOOK LIKE AN (EARTH) SCIENTIST”: SCIENCE POPULARIZATION AND PROFESSIONALIZATION BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF A PHOTO ALBUM DEDICATED TO THE VIENNESE GEOLOGIST EDUARD SUESS (1901)
Authors: MATTES JOHANNES
Published: November 2020

Self-visualizations and portraits of scholars play a crucial role for the identity and understanding of scientific disciplines. According to sociological thoughts on visualization, reproduction and modern governance, the new media of photography policed and controlled specific ways of self-imaging, defining and behaving as a scientist. In addition, photography can also be understood as a powerful tool for scholarly self-profiling, image cultivation and the promotion of science to the public. An impressive example of the visual representation of scholarship is a richly decorated photo album dedicated to the geologist Eduard Suess (1831–1914) on the occasion of his 70th birthday and retirement as a professor from the University of Vienna in 1901. As a collection of 332 photos of his students, colleagues and other earth scientists, the album served as a personal gift to Suess, but also as a visualization of how scholarly collaboration, hierarchy and the interdependence between students and academic teachers were practiced. Linking Suess’ photo album to theoretical concepts on scientific self-depiction and media history, the paper examines how rhetorics of display may be invoked and challenged in the context of professionalization, discipline formation and science popularization, and suggests renewed analytical attention to the role of portrait imagery in the history of science.

Objective(s): To: 1) examine the fluoride concentrations in commercial child formula dentifrices (CFD)s; and 2) investigate the effect of arginine incorporation in CFDs on fluoride bioavailability.

Study Design: Five commercial CFDs were examined for fluoride concentrations. Total, total soluble, and insoluble fluorides in CFDs were determined by the modified Taves acid-diffusion method (TAD). Ionic F and MFP were estimated by modified direct method with standard addition technique. L-arginine (L-Arg)/L-arginine monohydrochloride (L-Arg.HCl) were incorporated at 2% w/w in the commercial CFDs. The pH of the toothpaste slurries, buffer capacity of the added Arg, potentially available fluorides (PAF) and 1-min PAF by TAD were determined. Results: The CFDs had 4 to 32% of insoluble fluorides. Addition of L-Arg/L-Arg.HCl significantly improved the fluoride bioavailability in CFDs (p<0.05). Incorporation of L-Arg significantly increased the pH of toothpaste slurries (p<0.05); while L-Arg.HCl decreased the pH. Principal component analysis showed that L-Arg.HCl decreased the pH of toothpaste slurries due to the presence of Cl in the form of HCl; whereas the inherent elements/molecules (Na/P/Pi/F) remain distinct with unidentified influence on the variables. Conclusion(s): The CFDs containing NaF only have higher concentrations of bioavailable fluoride. Incorporating arginine (L-arginine or L-arginine monohydrochloride) at 2% w/w improves fluoride bioavailability of the child formula dentifrices.
Сущность культуры
Authors: Флиер Андрей Яковлевич
Published: November 2020

Автор показывает, что культура существует как программа ценностно иерархизированного мировоззрения, она выполняет интеллектуальную упорядочивающую функцию, формируя в сознании человека системный комплекс осмысленного миропонимания и принципов осуществления жизни в коллективных формах. Она существует прежде всего в образах общественного сознания (и образах индивидуального сознания, регулируемого общественным) и воплощается в основных смыслах коллективного бытия, нравах, морали, ценностных ориентациях и т. п., принятых в том или ином обществе.
Forms of Emotional Health and Coping with Stress in People with Cardiovascular Diseases
Authors: Olszewski Jacek
Published: November 2020

Choroby układu sercowo-naczyniowego wśród chorób cywilizacyjnych stanowią najczęstszą przyczynę śmierci – umiera na nie co druga osoba. Obciążenie chorobą zagrażającą życiu niewątpliwie sprzyja rozwojowi zaburzeń emocjonalnych. Patrząc z perspektywy psychologii pozytywnej, buforem chroniącym pacjentów kardiologicznych przed popadaniem w bezradność może być dobrostan psychiczny, dlatego autor opracowania przeanalizował problem integracji subiektywnego dobrostanu z psychopatologią, sprowadzoną do poziomu lęku, które mogą wyznaczać formę zdrowia emocjonalnego. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie zależności między formami zdrowia emocjonalnego, wyznaczonego przez poziom satysfakcji z życia i poziom lęku, a rodzajem stosowanych sposobów radzenia sobie ze stresem. W badaniach udział wzięło 100 osób (50 kobiet i 50 mężczyzn) dotkniętych chorobami układu sercowo-naczyniowego, które przeszły zabiegi kardiochirurgiczne. Wiek osób badanych mieścił się w przedziale 45–65 lat. Do pomiaru zmiennych wykorzystano Skalę Satysfakcji z Życia (SWLS), Inwentarz Stanu i Cechy Lęku (STAI) oraz Wielowymiarowy Inwentarz do Pomiaru Radzenia sobie ze Stresem (COPE). Rezultaty badań wskazują, że badani pacjenci kardiologiczni wykazują zróżnicowanie pod względem formy zdrowia emocjonalnego. Ponadto w grupach osób dotkniętych chorobami układu sercowo-naczyniowego, różniących się formami zdrowia emocjonalnego, czynniki decydujące o formie zdrowia emocjonalnego są powiązane ze sposobami radzenia sobie ze stresem.
Pomorzanie w walce o powrót Pomorza Gdańskiego do Polski (1918-1920)
Authors: Ostapowicz Dariusz
Published: November 2020

„Długi” wiek XIX (1772-1920) upłynął na Pomorzu Gdańskim pod władzą zaborcy pruskiego. Na przekór bismarckowskiej germanizacji kształtowała się nowoczesna świadomość narodowa polska, oparta o tradycje walki o niepodległość (1807, 1830, 1848, 1863) i hasła pozytywistyczne, co wpłynęło na postawy Polaków w latach 1918-1920. O połączeniu Pomorza Gdańskiego – Nadwiślańskiego – Prus Zachodnich (niem. Provinz Westpreussen) z odzyskującą niepodległość Polską zadecydowały silne powiązania z powstaniem wielkopolskim i decyzje konferencji pokojowej w Paryżu (1919). Mimo zakazu podejmowania walki na Pomorzu wydanego przez Naczelną Radę Ludową, działały tu różne grupy konspiracyjne na czele z Organizacją Wojskową Pomorza, toczące utarczki z niemieckim Grenzschutzem-Ost, przygotowujące powstanie w Gdańsku na wypadek pojawienia się „Błękitnej Armii” gen. Józefa Hallera, tworzące partyzantkę w Borach Tucholskich. Konspiratorzy wzięli udział w wojnie z Rosją Sowiecką w 1920 r., a symbolem ich zwycięstwa stały się zaślubiny Polski z morzem 10 lutego 1920 r.
Kapucyni polscy a wydarzenia 1920 roku
Authors: Prejs Roland
Published: November 2020

Do wydarzeń rozgrywających się na ziemiach polskich w 1920 r. kapucyni nie odnieśli się obojętnie, ale z powodu poważnych braków personalnych i konieczności zapewnienia bieżącej obsługi duszpasterskiej kościołów klasztornych nie mogli zaangażować się na większą skalę. Największą aktywność przejawił Wiator Rytel, który był kapelanem szpitali wojskowych, ponadto organizował wśród tercjarzy szycie bielizny dla wojska, a także zbieranie różnych ofiar i składek, za które między innymi zakupiono i wyposażono pociąg sanitarny.
