Sustainable Delivery of Speech-Language Therapy Services in Small Island Developing States Using Information and Communication Technology – A Study of the Maldives
Authors: Zahir Mariyam Z. , Miles Anna , Hand Linda , Ward Elizabeth C.
Published: June 2020

Small Island Developing States (SIDS), a subgroup of Majority world countries, face complex challenges providing equitable access to speech-language therapy (SLT) services. Increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance SLT services is seen in the Minority world. This study explored the potential of using ICT to provide sustainable SLT services in one SIDS, the Maldives. A mixed method approach was used integrating data from (a) 21 online documents, (b) interview with an ICT official, and (c) surveys of 13 island councillors and 73 parents of children with communication difficulties. Almost 100% of the population had access to mobile phones and mobile broadband internet. Most parents were active and frequent ICT users. The government provided financial aid for people with disabilities which could be utilised to access ICT for services. Asynchronous service delivery using accessible ICT and parents as agents of service delivery can potentially enhance SLT services.

Published: June 2020

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary patient-tailored intervention that aims to improve the physical and psychological condition of people with chronic respiratory diseases. Providing pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services to the growing population of patients is challenging due to shortages in health care practitioners and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Telerehabilitation has the potential to address this shortage in practitioners and PR programs as well as improve patients’ participation and adherence. This study’s purpose was to identify and evaluate the influences of intention of health care practitioners to use telerehabilitation. Methods: Data were collected through a self-administered Internet-based survey. Results: Surveys were completed by 222 health care practitioners working in pulmonary rehabilitation with 79% having a positive intention to use telerehabilitation. Specifically, perceived usefulness was a significant individual predictor of positive intentions to use telerehabilitation. Conclusion: Perceived usefulness may be an important factor associated with health care providers’ intent to use telerehabilitation for pulmonary rehabilitation.
Análisis del crowdfunding en España: una nueva herramienta social para fomentar la sostenibilidad
Authors: Rubio Martín Gracia
Published: June 2020

El objetivo de este documento es analizar el papel del crowdfunding en España orientado a financiar actividades con impacto positivo, tanto social como ecológico, primero a través del marco teórico, y, posteriormente a través de un análisis de la situación del sector en España. A través de los resultados procedentes de un cuestionario estructurado se muestra la taxonomía del sector en España, se analiza su evolución, así como rentabilidades, riesgos y oportunidades que brinda, tanto para emprendedores como para inversores. No cabe duda que a través de la colectividad Internet está jugando un papel decisivo para que sea la propia sociedad la que se convierta en un nuevo agente decisor que diseñe su propio destino. Después de la revisión, en línea con el maro teórico, encontramos que el crowdfunding resulta ser una herramienta muy útil para conseguir un desarrollo basado en la sostenibilidad. Los nuevos inversores y emprendedores, a través de las plataformas de crowdfunding, están cambiando el viejo paradigma de un agente inversor, sin escrúpulos, a otro que es social y emocionalmente responsable, capaz de crear un círculo virtuoso en el que el desarrollo económico y las mejoras en el entorno, tanto sociales como medioambientales se retroalimentan y posibilitan un desarrollo económico más sostenible y justo.
Hypodermoclysis for correction of hyperosmolar dehydration and severe electrolyte disturbances: a case report
Authors: Cintra Marco Túlio Gualberto
Published: June 2020

The treatment of dehydration and severe electrolyte disturbances using hypodermoclysis is usually contraindicated, but the level of evidence for its recommendation is based on expert opinion. This case report describes an older patient receiving palliative care who developed hyperosmolar dehydration with severe hypernatremia, acute kidney injury, and hyperkalemia. She was treated with hypodermoclysis using a hypotonic solution, which led to complete resolution of the condition. In conclusion, further studies on the use of hypodermoclysis for the treatment of severe hydroelectrolytic disorders are needed.
Incidencia de la intervención urbana en el desarrollo turístico del Centro Histórico de Morelia, Michoacán
Authors: Reyes-Aguilar Ana Karen , Rosas-Ferrusca Francisco Javier , Pérez-Ramírez Carlos Alberto
Published: June 2020

Los centros históricos son parte del legado de la sociedad y cuentan, no sólo con valores estéticos, sociales, culturales y económicos, sino también representan una fuente de identidad social y constituyen un patrimonio invaluable en términos de los significados asociados a éste. Es por ello, que su gestión debe analizarse de manera diferente, especialmente cuando éstos se encuentran inscritos en la lista del Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de intervención urbana y desarrollo del turismo en el Centro Histórico de Morelia, Michoacán a partir del nombramiento como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad, con la finalidad de identificar su incidencia en la dinámica de la realidad urbana. Se desarrolla en función de los elementos metodológicos propuestos por Troitiño Vinuesa (1992), soportado en un enfoque integral de los fenómenos y procesos de transformación urbana. Se demuestra que el Centro Histórico de Morelia ha sufrido diversas intervenciones urbanas, que han dado lugar a la valorización del sitio, el legado cultural y el desarrollo del turismo, mediante la apropiación del patrimonio, resultado de la implementación de políticas públicas neoliberales que permiten la mercantilización del espacio público.
Paisajes degradados e imaginarios sociales: percepciones del arroyo del Gato en la ciudad de La Plata, Argentina
Authors: Rotger Daniela Vanesa
Published: June 2020

La ciudad de La Plata se sitúa sobre una planicie surcada por múltiples arroyos que han sido históricamente ignorados y degradados por la urbanización, sin ninguna apreciación ambiental y paisajística. Forjar una mirada paisajística sobre los arroyos, hacia la construcción de alternativas urbanas sostenibles, requiere relevar la percepción de los habitantes para quienes el paisaje fluvial es un paisaje cotidiano; tarea que se ha realizado para uno de los cursos más degradados y urbanizados de la ciudad. Metodológicamente se ha trabajado desde un enfoque cualitativo en el desarrollo de encuestas y entrevistas adaptadas a diversos grupos sociales y etarios, lo que ha permitido develar temas relativos al paisaje fluvial que difícilmente podrían reconocerse a partir de información secundaria, y que son inherentes a la percepción del arroyo como paisaje cotidiano. Se concluye que la percepción de los habitantes en el proceso de valoración es un acercamiento fundamental en el caso de paisajes degradados que son evitados por la ciudadanía en general.
¿Gentrificación comercial en contexto de superdiversidad?: La transformación del comercio local en el centro y pericentro de Santiago de Chile
Authors: Catalán Hidalgo René
Published: June 2020

Esta investigación se enfoca en las transformaciones materiales de los espacios comerciales del centro y pericentro de la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. Su foco específico es el proceso conjunto de gentrificación comercial y superdiversificación, los que configuran la geografía específica de la transformación que produce la gentrificación en Santiago. Se emplean con este fin dos herramientas analíticas, primero un Indicador de Potencial de Gentrificación el que permitió seleccionar las zonas con mayor potencial de gentrificación. Posteriormente, un análisis visual permitió analizar las transformaciones recientes de los espacios comerciales. En base a ambos análisis se lograron identificar seis tendencias que han ido transformando el centro de la ciudad. Estos cambios expresan el efecto conjunto de gentrificación comercial y superdiversidad, y muestran el carácter particular de la transformación urbana que esta experimentado la ciudad de Santiago y aportan una perspectiva distinta para el estudio de la gentrificación.
Trayectorias de la periurbanización en Morelia, México: segregación espacial desde un enfoque relacional
Authors: Rodríguez Norma , Vieyra Antonio , Méndez-Lemus Yadira , Hidalgo Dattwyler Rodrigo , Alvarado Peterson Voltaire , Rodríguez Jesús
Published: June 2020

La cuestión de la segregación espacial tiene en el periurbano una faceta diferenciada respecto a otras dimensiones del hábitat urbano-rural. El caso de Morelia, México, expone diferentes situaciones de tensión entre el avance inmobiliario sobre zonas rurales y la perspectiva relacional de las comunidades originarias. La metodología del presente trabajo recoge entrevistas y un archivo fotográfico; ambos antecedentes permiten discutir la actual situación del periurbano latinoamericano y los efectos del avance territorial de la financiarización en la región. En este sentido, tanto la propiedad y la modernidad emergen como estrategias de reproducción de capital en colisión con las relaciones productivas y sociales del área en estudio. Como reflexión de cierre, se propone una perspectiva del derecho a la ciudad que, contradictoriamente, rompe con las bases espaciales y sociales del periurbano en Morelia.
Los contratos de servicios de cloud storage público: cláusulas de privacidad y seguridad del contenido almacenado a la luz del derecho chileno
Authors: Severin Fuster Gonzalo
Published: June 2020

Los servicios de cloud storage en nubes públicas (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etcétera) permiten a los usuarios almacenar, acceder y compartir contenidos digitales en todo momento, bastando una conexión a internet y un dispositivo compatible. La seguridad de los contenidos digitales almacenados es una preocupación tanto para el proveedor como para el cliente. En este punto, junto con las herramientas técnicas destinadas a ofrecer seguridad en el uso del servicio, es posible hallar una serie de herramientas contractuales que delimitan las expectativas del cliente en relación con la integridad y privacidad de los contenidos almacenados. Por ejemplo, sobre el uso y acceso a esos contenidos por parte del parte del propio prestador del servicio o de terceros, o cláusulas de exoneración de responsabilidad en favor del prestador. En este trabajo se ofrece un análisis de este contrato y de dichas cláusulas, a fin de determinar su contenido, validez y eficacia, a la luz del derecho chileno.

A propósito del COVID-19: ¿sería recomendable para Chile la mediación familiar en línea?
Authors: Alarcón García Sofía
Published: June 2020

En este estudio analizamos si la mediación en línea era recomendable para el Sistema de Mediación Familiar de Chile. La hipótesis que planteamos fue que la mediación en línea puede beneficiar a los usuarios y mediadores de dicho Sistema, y que no impide desempeñar adecuadamente la labor mediadora o cumplir los principios del proceso. Los resultados mostraron que dicha modalidad puede favorecer el acceso a la mediación y evitar la discontinuidad del servicio cuando no es posible reunir físicamente a los participantes, y que, además, no impide el desempeño adecuado de la labor mediadora o cumplir los principios del proceso. Por ello, concluimos que si es recomendable su implementación y que no es razonable que sólo se admita la concurrencia física al Sistema de Mediación Familiar de Chile.
Investigación cualitativa crítica y derecho: análisis de su rol en la academia chilena y un estudio de caso
Authors: Becerra Katherinne
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo propone la utilización de la investigación cualitativa crítica del derecho basada en elementos intelectuales y de acción positiva, que cambian el proceso investigativo, haciéndolo más concreto, creando nuevas preguntas de investigación y más centrado en el rol social del Derecho, ofreciendo nuevas prácticas e intervenciones al medio social. Esta aproximación se aleja de la investigación racional que hoy se hace en la disciplina fundada en el positivismo jurídico, y por el contrario se basa en la metodología empírica de investigación. Se argumenta, que con todos los beneficios que este tipo de investigación brinda, su aplicación por la academia nacional es aun débil, aunque existen casos en los que se utiliza. La evidencia que se emplea se mueve en dos niveles de análisis. En un ámbito macro, con la revisión de artículos de dos prestigiosas revistas jurídicas del país. Y en un ámbito específico, con un caso de estudio: la opinión de los/las académicos/as de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas de La Universidad Católica del Norte (FCJ-UCN).

Published: June 2020

Aim of study: The effects of hunting season (autumn vs. winter) on carcass characteristics and meat quality of Iberian wild red deer were assessed.Area of study: A total of 100 males of wild red deer of Iberian genetic line (Cervus elaphus) were hunted on Ciudad Real (south central Spain).Material and methods: Yields for shoulder (with bone), neck, backbone, loin, tenderloin, leg (with bone), short plate and flank were determined. In addition, samples of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum and Rectus abdominis muscles were collected. Then, pH48, colour measurements, chemical composition, cooking loss, Warner Bratzler shear blade, fatty acid and amino acid profiles and mineral content were analyzed.Main results: Deer hunted in autumn (n=50) had higher (p<0.01) yields of shoulder, backbone and short plate and higher contents of intramuscular fat (IMF), cholesterol and K, Fe and Mn but lower (p<0.001) pH48 and Na, Mg, Zn and Cu contents than deer hunted in winter (n=50). Shear force tended (p=0.05) to be lower for meat collected in autumn than for meat collected in winter. However, loin yield was 59.2% higher (p<0.001) for winter than for autumn carcasses. Deer hunted in winter had higher α-linoleic acid (p<0.05) and long chain n-3 polyunsaturated (p<0.001) percentages than deer hunted in autumn.Research highlights: Autumn hunting is recommended to obtain carcasses with higher yields of shoulder, backbone and short plate and meat with higher IMF. Conversely, winter hunting is advisable for higher loin yield and for a profile richer in polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Traffic police officers face many challenges in their line of duty to the protect the country and its citizens. Despite, the significance of traffic police officers to the community and the country, lack of studies specifically on how workload, reward system, and work-life balance affects job stress among traffic police officers are apparent. Job stress is the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur. when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Job stress creates tension in the working environment, and this research aims to solve and find out what is the cause for job stress either workload, work-life balance or reward system. The observational was finished by utilizing a poll and questionnaires as a measuring instrument. The questionnaires were composed based on the literature review and have inquiries and things significant to the underlying research issues by using five-point Likert scale type questions. Survey data were gathered from questionnaires distributed to 300 respondents at a Traffic Police Office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 100 returned questionnaires were used in statistical analysis. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that the relationship between work-life balance and job stress as the significant factor causing stress among Malaysian traffic police officers while there were no significant relationships between workload, reward system, and job stress. Therefore, the traffic police management need to look into the work-life balance initiatives such as flexi-time work arrangements and leave policies to reduce the stress among its staff.

Antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite gel on Enterococcus faecalis in endodontics: A systematic review
Authors: Al Nesser Salma Fuad , Bshara Nada George , Adıgüzel Özkan
Published: June 2020

Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the in vitro antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite gel on Enterococcus faecalis during root canal treatment.

Methods: An electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, CENTRAL, Health Advance) was performed (last updated was 1st April 2019). The reference lists of the included studies were hand-searched. Randomized in vitro studies that compared sodium hypochlorite gel to solution as a root canal irrigant were included. No limitation on publication date.

Results: Out of 20741 articles, only two studies with 116 human teeth were included in this review. The studies showed 50% high risk of bias, and 50% medium risk of bias for the included studies. Both sodium hypochlorite gel and solution had some bacterial growth inhibition over E. faecalis. The heterogeneity in methodology of the included studies and the lack of high evidence led to contradictory results. However, sodium hypochlorite solution was better in enhancing the antibacterial effect according to the robust study.

Conclusion: There is insufficient reliable evidence about the antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite gel on enterococcus faecalis. Although the robust study included in this review revealed that sodium hypochlorite gel is less efficient than the solution as a root canal irrigant, further studies are needed to consider the most effective type, concentration, duration and treatment protocols in enhancing the antibacterial effect of sodium hypochlorite.

Authors: Widaryanto Eko , Putri Megawati Ristiaji , Yamika Wiwin Sumiya Dwi , Saitama Akbar , Zaini Akbar Hidayatullah
Published: June 2020

Melon are one of the most popular fruit commodities, but, despite the demand, its production in Indonesia has declined. One measure that can be used to optimize the quality of melon fruit is to trim off the leaf buds and arrange the position of fruiting on the stem, and this study, using the golden melon cultivar ‘Apollo,’ aimed to identify the effects of leaf bud trimming and fruit position arrangement in improving the quantity and quality of the fruit harvest. The experiment was conducted from March to May 2018 in the greenhouse of Food Crop and Horticulture Agribusiness Development (UPT Pengembangan Agribisnis Tanaman Pangan dan Hortikultura), in Lebo, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. It was based on a split-plot design, with leaf bud trimming as the main factor, consisting of two groups (trimming or not trimming), and fruit positions as the secondary factor, consisting of four stages, all repeated at four different time intervals. A correlation was found between leaf bud trimming and fruit position arrangement toward the number of leaves. However, the treatments did not affect the growth and yield of the plants, but did have a significant effect on fruit weight, sweetness, and volume. It was concluded that trimming off the leaf buds and arranging the fruiting position on golden melon plants can increase the quality of fruits, with the treatment involving trimming combined with arranging fruiting on the twelfth–thirteenth segment showing the best results.
Occurrence of Weeds in an Orchard due to Cultivation of Long-Term Perennial Living Mulches
Authors: Licznar-Małańczuk Maria
Published: June 2020

The living mulch permanence along with the succession of their weed infestation in an apple orchard were evaluated at the Research Station, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. The perennial cover crops: white clover and colonial bent grass, as well as the annual dwarf nasturtium, were sown as living mulches in apple tree rows, in the year of establishing the orchard. Blue fescue was sown one year later to replace the dwarf nasturtium. The percent of covers and temporal dominance dynamics of weeds were estimated during the first 13 years of the orchard maintenance. The occurrence of annual weeds, which had been abundant in all the living mulches in the year of their sowing, decreased in the following years of orchard maintenance. Conversely, the dominance of several perennial weed species increased as the orchard reached the full cropping period. White clover exhibited the lowest permanence. Dynamic spreading of Elymus repens (L.) Gould and other species from the Poaceae family was the direct cause of this cover crop disappearance. The presence of perennial dicotyledonous weeds, primarily Taraxacum officinale Web. and Convolvulus arvensis L., also contributed to the diminished sod of all the living mulches. Blue fescue maintained satisfactory dominance relative to colonial bent grass for nearly the entire first decade of the research. Nevertheless, both grass living mulches were present on less than half of the tree row soil surface area, in the thirteenth year after planting of the apple trees.

Co jakiś czas przerażają nas doniesienia medialne o zdarzeniach, w których pojawiają się tragiczne scenariusze – uczeń z bronią w dłoni dokonuje wtargnięcia do szkoły i strzela do swoich koleżanek, kolegów, do nauczycieli. Wyniki analiz piętnastu szkolnych strzelanin w USA ukazują rezultaty, w świetle których odrzucenie społeczne w postaci ostracyzmu rówieśniczego, zastraszenia i/lub miłosnego odrzucenia stanowią główną determinantę tych tragicznych zdarzeń, tłumaczą je aż w 87% przypadków (Leary i in., 2003). Ostracyzm boli w sensie dosłownym, bezlitośnie uderza w podstawowe potrzeby psychologiczne człowieka. W konsekwencji nierzadko proces nabrzmiewania bólu doprowadza do eksplozji irracjonalnych, społecznie niedopuszczalnych zachowań (Williams, 2007). Koniecznym jest zatem skupienie uwagi na konsekwencjach bycia wykluczanym. W artykule poruszono problematykę strategii radzenia sobie przez młodzież z ostracyzmem.
Motywacja osób dorosłych do realizowania zachowań zdrowotnych
Authors: Świętochowski Waldemar , Wawrzków Martyna
Published: June 2020

Coraz częstsze występowanie chorób cywilizacyjnych sprawia, że istotnym zadaniem staje się konieczność kształtowania zdrowego stylu życia oraz zachęcanie ludzi do podejmowania zachowań zdrowotnych. Badania pokazują, że sama świadomość korzyści wynikających z takiego stylu życia nie gwarantuje odpowiedniego poziomu motywacji do jego realizowania. Według koncepcji planowanego działania Isaaca Ajzena decydują o tym również normy subiektywne, postawa wobec zachowania i spostrzegany przez daną osobę poziom kontroli behawioralnej. Celem podjętych przez nas badań była weryfikacja modelu Ajzena w odniesieniu do zachowań zdrowotnych podejmowanych przez osoby dorosłe oraz odpowiedź na pytanie, czy wiek (m.in. w związku ze spadkiem wydolności organizmu, ale także specyfiką zadań rozwojowych) jest czynnikiem różnicującym poziom motywacji do zachowań zdrowotnych. W badaniu uczestniczyło 60 osób podzielonych na dwie grupy według kryterium wieku – wczesną i późniejszą dorosłość. Zastosowaliśmy standardowe i oryginalne narzędzia badawcze: Inwentarz Zachowań Zdrowotnych, Wielowymiarową Skalę Umiejscowienia Kontroli, Kwestionariusz Postaw wobec Zachowań Zdrowotnych i Test Norm Subiektywnych Zachowań Zdrowotnych – dwa ostatnie narzędzia w opracowaniu własnym. Wśród najistotniejszych wyników przeprowadzonych badań znajdują się dane wskazujące m.in. na to, że w grupie osób w okresie wczesnej dorosłości istotnym predyktorem podejmowania zachowań zdrowotnych są postawy wobec takich zachowań (wyjaśniają 55% wariancji wyników), natomiast w grupie starszej – postawy i wewnętrzne umiejscowienia kontroli, które wyjaśniają 35% zmienności wyników. Posiadanie takich informacji może okazać się pomocne przy tworzeniu programów zmiany nawyków zdrowotnych dla różnych grup wiekowych.
Zaangażowanie w pracę a wypalenie zawodowe nauczycieli. Mediująca rola orientacji pozytywnej
Authors: Grala Krzysztof
Published: June 2020

Celem badań było: (1) ustalenie zależności między zaangażowaniem w pracę, wypaleniem zawodowym i orientacją pozytywną; (2) sprawdzenie czy orientacja pozytywna mediuje związek między zaangażowaniem w pracę a wypaleniem zawodowym. Osobami badanymi byli nauczyciele (N = 106) klas I–VI szkół podstawowych i klas I–III szkół ponadpodstawowych. Zgodnie z przypuszczeniami zaangażowanie w pracę ujemnie koreluje z wypaleniem, a orientacja pozytywna dodatnio wiąże się z zaangażowaniem i ujemnie z wypaleniem, a także mediuje związek między tymi zmiennymi.
Postawy antypornograficzne wśród polskich internautów. Wstępne ujęcie badawcze
Authors: Gałuszka Damian
Published: June 2020

Artykuł stanowi jedną z pierwszych prób zwrócenia uwagi na relatywnie nowe zjawisko internetowych inicjatyw antypornograficznych. Są to strony i fora internetowe, zrzeszające internautów negatywnie nastawionych do pornografii, a często także masturbacji, które w ich mniemaniu mają destrukcyjne oddziaływać na wiele wymiarów życia. Zasadniczym celem nie jest jednak sam opis inicjatyw, ale ich odbioru wśród polskich internautów dzięki wykorzystaniu podejścia z zakresu etnografii wirtualnej. W praktyce oznaczało to analizę kilku publikacji internetowych i kilkuset komentarzy osób zaangażowanych lub zainteresowanych badanym zjawiskiem. W tekście są poruszone także etyczno-prawne problemy związane z prowadzeniem badań w Internecie na kontrowersyjne tematy.
Promotion of children’s and adolescents’ health in the process of education
Authors: Curyło-Sikora Patrycja
Published: June 2020

On the one hand the achievements of modern civilisation make life easier in almost every area of human functioning, on the other hand they can cause various difficulties – both in the physical health of the individual and their psychosocial functioning. This is reflected in contemporary literature on the subject and statistical data indicating an increase in the prevalence of health problems in the group of children and adolescents. Over the last hundred years, health ceased to be a negative category meaning only the state of absence of physical illness, and began to be treated in a processual and holistic way. Therefore, the emphasis has been shifted from medical interventions focused on the treatment of the already existing disease to activities focused on developing and strengthening health in the biopsychosocial dimension. The article addresses the issue of children's and adolescent's health in the context of changes that have occurred in understanding it, and consequently also in the area of activities undertaken for its benefit. The article points out the need for actions in the area of health promotion (including health education) which, having a long-term and systemic nature, should be an integral element of the education process. Thus, attention was drawn to the role of parents and teachers as persons responsible for shaping the health of the future generation.
Die sächsische Landtagswahl vom 1. September 2019: Rechtsverschiebung im Parlament, Linksverschiebung in der Regierung
Authors: Jesse Eckhard
Published: June 2020

The peaceful revolution of 1989 began in Saxony . 30 years later, the public eagerly awaited the results of Saxony’s seventh state elections . The AfD was expected to gain a high share of votes after the party there had already been the strongest political force in the federal elections in 2017 and the European elections in 2019 . Although the CDU lost votes it still came out the strongest party - mainly because of Michael Kretschmer’s excellent reputation as state premier . The election was marked by superlatives: The Social Democrats faced their worst result nationwide after World War II . The Greens had never gained more votes in the state . Almost the opposite holds true for The Left . The AfD had nowhere else in Germany received a higher share of the vote nor a higher percentual increase . The governing coalition does not mirror the election results: The left parties were weakened in parliament but strengthened in government . The CDU refrained from forming a minority government, which was deemed too risky .
Die Entwicklung des Gesetzentwurfs zur Landkreisneugliederung in Brandenburg: Responsivität im Detail – Differenzen bei Grundsatzfragen
Authors: Klausch Martin
Published: June 2020

The article provides detailed insights into the pre-parliamentary stage of the legislative process for the county-level territorial restructuring in Brandenburg . In the further development of specific aspects of the draft bill, the state government incorporated many of the demands of the county level representatives and local government umbrella organizations . The aggregated information supply as well as the citizen support of those arguing for similar modifications prove to be important factors for successful influence on policy formulation . On more fundamental issues, however, the state government expressed different positions from those of the county level representatives and local government umbrella organizations . For instance, the objection that territorial reform could only be justified on the basis of a comprehensive transfer of tasks remained a main point of criticism on the part of the municipal level . As a result, the government was unable to forge an alliance for reform, despite a high level of responsiveness to detailed demands . In the end, the countylevel territorial reform failed due to the joint resistance of the fundamental opposition groups and potential allies who fundamentally recognized the need for reform but did not agree with the draft bill as such .

Published: June 2020

Background: Postural stability is quite mandatory when practicing high-performance sports. Investigations of postural stability and related variables in judokas with visual impairment can lead to new training plans targeting the improvement of postural stability and ultimately to enhanced performance. Objectives: To investigate postural stability and its relationship with anthropometric measurements, body composition, and experience in judokas with visual impairment. Methods: Seventeen judokas (70.6% men) with visual impairment participated in this cross-sectional study. The athletes were grouped based on the functional classification of partial (B2/B3, n = 10) and total visual impairment (B1, n = 7). Postural stability was assessed using the elliptical area of the 95% confidence interval (Area) and the average displacement velocity (Vavg) while remaining in a bipedal stance with eyes closed and blindfolded. Body mass, height, circumferences, skinfold thickness and diameters were measured and used to estimate body composition. Between-group comparisons were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test. Bivariate correlations were determined with Spearman’s correlation coefficient with bootstrap analysis and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) from 500 resamplings. Results: No significant difference was observed between the B1 and B2/B3 groups in relation to postural stability (Area; P = 1.00; Vavg; P = 0.85). Postural stability (Area but not Vavg) correlated positively and moderately (P < 0.05) with anthropometric measurements and negatively with judo experience (practice time). Conclusions: The postural stability of judokas was unrelated to the degree of visual impairment. Postural instability was correlated with anthropometric measurements, mainly body fat and height, and judo experience.

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace. As we anticipate a rapid increase in artificial intelligence (AI), we may soon find ourselves dealing with fully autonomous technology with the capacity to cause harm and injuries. What then? Who is going to be held accountable if AI systems harm us?Currently there is no answer to this question and the existing regulatory framework falls short in addressing the accountability regime of autonomous systems. This paper analyses criminal liability of AI systems, evaluated under the existing rules of criminal law. It highlights the social and legal implications of the current criminal liability regime as it is applied to the complex nature of industrial robots. Finally, the paper explores whether corporate liability is a viable option and what legal standards are possible for imposing criminal liability on the companies who deploy AI systems.The paper reveals that traditional criminal law and legal theory are not well positioned to answer the questions at hand, as there are many practical problems that require further evaluation. I have demonstrated that with the development of AI, more questions will surface and legal frameworks will inevitably need to adapt. The conclusions of this paper could be the basis for further research.
The Pharmacists' Role in Disease Outbreaks: Navigating the Dynamics of Uncertainty Before, During, and After Disease Outbreaks
Authors: Guerci Jack , Campbell Christopher T. , Curtis Stacey D.
Published: June 2020

Vaccination rates are on the decline as parents avoid doctor's visits with their children. In addition, the antivaccination movement has led to a significant portion of the population remaining unvaccinated or undervaccinated. Outbreaks in the United States within the past year have highlighted the need for better education and communication regarding the efficacy and safety of vaccinations as well as important steps to reduce disease transmission. Patients may be fearful and have questions about how these outbreaks will affect themselves and their families, especially those in immunocompromised states and pregnant women. Pharmacists are poised to provide this education and start a dialogue with patients and other health care professionals with regard to disease outbreaks. Additionally, in times of outbreak, pharmacists encounter obscure questions from both healthy and at-risk populations that fear contraction of a particular disease. The purpose of this commentary is to describe previous outbreaks and to explore the pharmacists' role in disease prevention.

Published: June 2020

Experiential education conducted in the pediatric practice setting provides student pharmacists the opportunity to learn about a unique patient population. For many students, experiential rotations may be the only form of pediatric education they receive in pharmacy school. Providing quality pediatric experiences is essential to stimulate students' interest in this practice area and train those with goals to become pediatric pharmacists. It is also important to ensure graduating pharmacists have exposure to fundamental pediatric pharmacy concepts. Although pediatric practice areas and institutions differ in patient populations and services, a well-rounded rotation experience should be provided for the pharmacy student. Preceptors must decide what concepts to teach and what activities students should be incorporated into during this experiential period. This article provides goals and activities for student pharmacists that can be included in newly designed introductory pharmacy practice experiences and advanced pharmacy practice experiences within various pediatric settings.

OBJECTIVE Previous trials evaluated the efficacy of lumacaftor/ivacaftor in Phe508del homozygotes. These trials are limited by manufacturer sponsorship and were conducted under strict protocol. Additionally, this therapy is costly and does not allow for reduction in daily cystic fibrosis therapies. This study assessed the efficacy of lumacaftor/ivacaftor therapy and its effect on health care utilization in a real-world setting.

METHODS Retrospective chart review comparing the first 12 months of therapy to the 24 months prior was conducted to evaluate the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor on pulmonary function following a streamlined process for therapy introduction. The impact on body mass index and healthcare utilization were also evaluated. The following measurements were assessed: percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, body mass index and z-scores, number of admissions, length of stay, number of emergency department visits.

RESULTS Mean ppFEV1 was improved for the first 12 months on lumacaftor/ivacaftor treatment when compared with the 24 months prior: 78.8 (95% CI: 72.6, 84.9) vs 76.2 (95% CI: 70.1, 82.3) (p = 0.03). Body mass index significantly improved (patients ≥20 years), but improvement in BMI z-score (patients <20 years) was not significant. Number of admissions and LOS were significantly decreased, but ED visits were not.

CONCLUSIONS Lumacaftor/ivacaftor is effective for improving ppFEV1 and BMI and for reducing health care utilization. However, this small reduction does not overcome the financial cost of treatment. Long-term outcomes and use must be studied to determine the overall effect of this therapy on cystic fibrosis interventions and their costs.

Background: The application of the Lean methodology in clinical laboratories can improve workflow and user satisfaction through the efficient delivery of analytical results. The purpose of this study was to optimise delivery times of the test results at a clinical laboratory, using Lean management principles in the pre-analytical phase. Methods: A prospective study with a quasi-experimental design was implemented. Staff functions were restructured and sample flows were modified. Delivery times of clinical results (glucose and haematocrit; 6648 data) from the Medicine and Adult Emergency services for years 2017 and 2018 were compared. Results: A reduction (p < 0.05) in turnaround times in the delivery of glucose test results at the adult emergency service was observed (84 to 73 min, 13%, pre and post). In addition, there was a non-significant reduction in the turnaround times for glucose (Medicine) and haematocrit in both services. In the analytical and post-analytical phase (not intervened), an increase in turnaround times was observed in some cases. Conclusions: Other studies have indicated that the application of the Lean methodology in clinical laboratories improves workflow, increasing effectiveness and efficiency. This study showed an improvement in the delivery time of test results (glucose - Emergency), giving rise to a culture of cooperation and continuous improvement. It would, however, be essential to address the management model integrating the analytical and post-analytical phases.
The corset as a fetish object of Victorian England and the crisis of values into the dynamicsbetween class and gender
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Pereira Roseana Sathler Portes
Published: June 2020

This article aims to explore the connections between the corset and fetishism in the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Supported by the perspective of Anne McClintock on Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest (2010), in regards to fetish and the class and gender dynamics, this articled analyzed the prominence of the corset in the maintenance of Victorian female domestic idleness. The scrutiny suggests the crisis of value conducted by the conflict among public and private spaces, by the connection among male agency, female stagnation and the impossibility of pleasure from female idleness are all embodied in the corset, which converts it into an object of fetishism. The recovery of the writings of Freud, the study of the genealogies of fetishism and the resumption of its etymological origin broadens the meaning of perspectives for the relation between the corset and the nineteenth centuryfemale body, whose silhouette, drawn by corsetry, delimited measuredly its possibilities in its social role.

Political discourses in fashion: the collective Estileras, a semiotic analysis
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Vincentini Cláudia Regina Garcia , Có Yasmin Alexandre , Avelar Suzana Helena
Published: June 2020

Fashion is a place of production of meaning in which social values are concretized plastically, enabling the transmission of the most varied and often antagonistic discourses. In this way several social groups are c onstituted with contesting narratives or reaffirming hegemonic values and tendencies, confirmed plastically in the adopted dress systems. In the wake of this thought we aim to analyze the discursive resources used by the collective Estileras on its page in a social media. This collective is positioned as a “place” for experimentation and transgression of dress norms sanctioned by contemporary society. The theoretical framework of Discursive Semiotics, developments in sociosemiotics and Michel Foucault's not ions of power will be adopted in order to account for the complexity of the verb - visual discourses exposed by the collective.
Methodological Foundations of the Language of Metaphysics
Authors: Gondek Natalia
Published: June 2020

The present paper concerns the methodological foundations of the language of metaphysics developed by M. A. Krąpiec and S. Kamiński. The specific character of the language of metaphysics rests, primarily, on analogy conceived ontically, the basis of which is being apprehended by existential judgements. This language uses a specific kind of terminology, i.e. analogous/transcendental. It does not seek to disambiguate the concepts but to develop such expressions which are characterized by an analogous and unlimited scope of predication which apprehends everything that exists. By virtue of these expressions the language of metaphysics is capable of presenting the general existential aspect of reality, which constitutes the proper dimension for metaphysical studies.
