Non-Discrimination and Equal Treatment Regarding the Exercise of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms by Military Personnel
Authors: Preda Davidoiu Mădălina , Pînzariu Sorin
Published: January 2023

The principles of equality and non-discrimination are the foundation of the system of protection of human rights, enshrined in every domestic and international instrument. As a visible symbol of national unity for the achievement of defence and security prerogatives, the armed forces can act as a positive force. By successfully implementing inclusive models and integrating recommendations on the fundamental rights and freedoms of military personnel, the armed forces must ensure societal linguistic, cultural, ethnic and gender-specific respect. In this way, the armed forces achieve group cohesion and achieve the common goal of achieving national defence.
Approach of the Financial Equilibrium in the Context of Challenges on the Romanian Energy Market
Authors: Vasiu Diana-Elena
Published: January 2023

In the context of the last turbulent three years, the energy industry in Romania had to face additional problems, due to the liberalization of the energy market. Despite pursuing profit as the immediate goal of a company, obtaining and maintaining the financial equilibrium becomes more and more important for the survival and the development of a company. The existence and maintenance of a positive Net Treasury over several successive years reflects the success of the company, proofing a good strategic position in relation to its competitors. Its lack is a permanent source of risks for the enterprise, of which long-term persistence can be considered a symptom of the risk of bankruptcy.

Authors: Zhllima Edvin , Imami Drini , Nam Jiyoung , Shoshi Pjerin , Gjika Irena
Published: January 2023

The Albanian agriculture sector is deeply affected by climate change. To cope with climate change, it is necessary to understand its consequences. The views of agriculture extension service experts are crucial in improving farmers’ understanding and resilience, especially when farming practices are poorly adapted to the changing climate. This paper analyses the risks from climate change and the adaptive capacity of farmers based on an expert evaluation survey. The respondents identified prolongation of drought durations, rising temperatures, above-average occurrences of floods, pre-seasonal rainfall and frost as primary risks during recent years. Extension experts view a high (negative) impact from climate change through processes such as increased plant diseases occurrence, increased exposure to rodents, harmful insects and pests for plants and livestock, as well as forest and pasture degradation. The paper also provides experts’ opinions on the policy implications, such as considerations about adaptation strategies towards climate change.
Barriers to the Implementation of Smart Projects in Rural Areas, Small Towns, and the City in Brno Metropolitan Area
Authors: Ševčík Michal , Chaloupková Markéta , Zourková Ilona , Janošíková Lenka
Published: January 2023

The implementation of smart projects can contribute to solving the current development problems of municipalities and cities of varied sizes. Although the concept of smart development is a vague term in the literature, in practice it refers to projects based on the use of modern technologies, to improve the quality of life considering economic, social, and environmental dimensions. However, not all local governments in the Czech Republic implement smart projects, even though the smart city concept is currently receiving considerable attention from national governments and from the European Union. This paper characterizes the perception of barriers to the implementation of smart projects from the perspective of fifteen representatives and officials of local governments located in the Brno Metropolitan Area in the Czech Republic. The research was conducted using semi-structured interviews with these fifteen territorial actors. It was found that the barriers to the implementation of smart projects are related to internal factors in the municipalities, such as the lack of interest of municipal leaders and officials or potential technical complications accompanying the implementation of projects. However, external factors such as the Czech government’s vague grasp of the smart cities concept or cyber threats also play a role. Perceived barriers were categorized according to their type and schematized.
Food Relates: Positionings in Space, Time and Society in the German Language Pockets of Sauris and Timau (Italy)
Authors: Hasenauer Leonie
Published: January 2023

The author analyses positionings in space, time and society that inhabitants of Sauris and Timau, German language pockets in Friuli, construct in qualitative interviews about food. Positionings of the self are immanent when interviewees speak about, represent and relate to times they, their parents or grandparents have experienced, as well as frequented localities and known persons. Relations, which outreach the places, are established through the preparation and consumption of specific foods because it evokes memories, emotions, feelings, and transmits values. Dishes with dialectal German names that are associated with the place and food, which had been consumed daily in the agrarian past became particular. In order to negotiate meanings and to identify with places and people, common food preparation, consumption and reflections are necessary, and individual interpretations need to be accepted.
The Integration of Local Resources in Search of a New Product – on the Example of the Lublin Region (Poland)
Authors: Bański Jerzy
Published: January 2023

Regional development is very much conditioned by the quality and quantity of internal resources, as well as the level of use that is or can be made of these. Local resources are often features, factors and phenomena in a defined territory that are unique in some way, of social or economic utility, and in a position to help steer development opportunities. They (can) play a particular role in regions whose development has remained weak, and in peripheral areas, given the possibility of them becoming major factors behind growth, if only they can be activated in an appropriate way. Against that background, the main aim of the work detailed here has been to conduct a structural reconnaissance of a given set of local resources and then to have these evaluated in the context of the potential development of new local products. As they capitalise on features of a multiplicity of local resources, the products referred to here may manifest a higher level of development potential. Consecutive parts of this study thus offer a conceptualisation of how such a new local product may be constructed, along with a specific diagnosis of the resources that can be involved, as these are manifested in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, located in SE Poland. Concrete proposals for local products are then made, in order to further illustrate the concept.
Looking Forward to When it is Over: Reactions and Short-Term Coping Micro-Strategies of Polish Fruit and Vegetable Farmers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dudek Michał , Śpiewak Ruta
Published: January 2023

The present paper focuses on farmers’ strategies for coping with the shock caused by the outbreak of the pandemic of COVID-19. Using the concept of farm resilience, which underlines the role of capacity and abilities as well as different actions undertaken in difficult situations, this study proposes an analytical framework of farmers’ coping short-term micro-strategies in relation to external crises, on the example of the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking into account academic literature, qualitative data gathered from fruit and vegetable producers in different regions in Poland and the information from sector experts, the paper outlines the varied consequences of the pandemic for farms, and also farmers’ diverse reactions to them. The findings from this study suggests that the analysed farms’ relative resilience to the crisis was achieved thanks to their available economic and social resources and the actions they undertook. The above-mentioned resources and activities were considered in the study primarily using the relational (process-based) approach, focusing on the ways of their creation, maintenance and adaptation. At the same time, the empirical material under analysis has shown that the adaptive measures adopted were short-term and did not respond to the farms’ permanent problems, which the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated significantly. It is assumed that presented results and proposed framework of farmers’ micro-strategies, which were taken during the pandemic, might be useful for future studies focusing on various external shocks as well as for research to be conducted in other CEE countries due to many common contextual factors that has shaped food practices and institutional arrangements.
Analysis of the Influence of the Vertical Coaxiality of the Pillars on the Stability of the Resistance Structures, from the Ocnele Mari Saline
Authors: Marian Dacian-Paul , Onica Ilie , Marina Ovidiu
Published: January 2023

The Ocnele Mari rock salt deposit is exploited with small rooms and square pillars, on the horizons +226 m and 210 m. Following the exploitation of the lower horizon +210 m, the floor between the two horizons suffered instability phenomena, marked by fractures and cracks and local degradation of the pillars.Since the pillars at the two horizons have certain deviations from the coaxiality, the question was raised whether the instability phenomena were generated by the deviations from the coaxiality.This article presents the stability analysis of bearing structures, taking into account the actual geometry of pillars, 3D finite element analysis and analysis of safety factors at the ceiling level, calculated from 2D finite element models. The final conclusion is that the instability phenomena that occurred at the Ocnele Mari Saline were generated by the state of stresses and strains, produced by the spatial distribution of the underground voids and the geomechanical characteristics of the rock salt and insignificantly, by the deviation from the coaxiality of the pillars.

The paper deals with the monitoring by means of topographical measurements of two tailings deposits located on a site in Simionești village, Cordun commune in Neamț county. Topographic measurements are used to monitor the movement of landmarks located on these deposits and the settlement behavior of the deposit, so that any stability problems can be detected in time.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems for Industrial Automation and Control Systems in Industry 4.0
Authors: Popescu Vasile Florin , Scarlat Cezar
Published: January 2023

In order to respond to the new production models specific to the fourth industrial revolution, a new paradigm of integrated industrial automation and control systems in industry 4.0 management is needed with new web, collaborative and intelligent applications to supervise production processes. The present work represents an analysis of the solutions for the management of production processes resulting from the combination of new technologies and applications conforming to the Industry 4.0 paradigms, in conjunction with SCADA technical solutions for the world of production. The solution that comes with this work is based on the synergy between two concepts, that of cyber-physical SCADA systems and human-centered production, which at first sight may seem antithetical, but which in reality are complementary to each other and actually represent a waysuitable for Industry 4.0. The research method was represented by the systematic analysis of the asynergy of the two concepts found in the specialized web of science literature, as well as corroborated with the real situation in industry 4.0.which is foreshadowed from day to day.
Use of Forecasting Systems in the Military Decision Making Process
Authors: Baboş Alexandru , Iacob Corneliu-George , Ene Cristian
Published: January 2023

Watching carefully and exploiting the colossal potential of global cutting-edge technology should be a priority for any army that looks to sustain the welfare and security of all its soldiers. The expanded spread of information and opportunity far and wide the globe has been aided indisputably by an exponential boost in high-tech novelty, especially from powerful military organizations such as NATO. The purpose of a designed forecasting system destined for all kind of disruptive technologies is reducing surprise which is associated to disruptive systems and also to train the commanders to take efficient decisions concerning the possible threats in the future. An effective forecast should acumen the possible, focusing less on the probable. Furthermore, forecasts ought to be measured according to their capacity of securing disruptive effects with a high-impact, instead of correct-to-incorrect prognosis that they make. Disruptive technologies can influence the military decision making process in a positive or negative manner. The outcome of the effects is highly reliant on the perspective that a disruption that is harmful to some will benefit others.
The Religious Affiliations of the Romanies from Post-Socialist Romania. Considerations Concerning the In-Group Academic Productions
Authors: Zăloagă Marian
Published: January 2023

After the fall of communist regime religion returned to play a significant role both in the public life and the research agenda in Romania. Admittedly disadvantaged by many factors, Romanian Roma intellectual elites addressed the topic as part of an effort to give voice to their ethnic group. Their writing back to the negative profiling of the ethnic group involved confrontation of the antigypsist narratives produced and shared by non-Roma academics, which reflected the power relations between the majority population and the Roma minority. Some of the narratives were articulated and culturally reproduced in religious terms. Like the other ethnic groups living in post-communist Romania, Romanian Roma intellectuals have not missed their chance to address religion as an element in the identity politics they take part in. In this paper, I examine the manners in which the first generation of post-communist Romanian Roma intellectuals addressed the religious profile and religious affiliation and/or affinities of their ethnic group. I will also try to highlight whether there are consonances or, on the contrary, dissonances between the Western Roma and Romanian Roma narratives in this matter.
Religious Education of the Roma People in Greece. The Ecumenical Theological Framework of Communication, Intercultural Inclusion Interventions and a Case Study of Non-Formal Education from the Orthodox Church
Authors: Tsirevelos Nikolaos
Published: January 2023

The main concern of this article is to examine the conditions for Roma education through church and religious education. The program of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias and Almyros “Agios Thaddeos” for the education of Roma is taken as a case study. This program belongs to the non-formal education sector. At the same time, the theological prerequisites of such programs by the Orthodox Church are examined in connection with the cultural identity of the Roma. The article concludes with an exploration of the conditions for the inclusion of Roma in formal education through religious education. The main purpose of Roma participation in religious education is religious literacy rather than catechism, as well as the preservation of their particular cultural identity. Emphasis is placed on the use of the tools of intercultural education and differentiated teaching in religious education based on the new curricula in Greece. In this way, formal and non-formal education are linked.
Consequences of the Constitutional Tribunal’s Ruling of October 22, 2020. On the Citizens’ Bill on Safe Termination of Pregnancy and Other Reproductive Rights
Authors: Kużelewska Elżbieta , Michalczuk-Wlizło Marta , Kużelewski Dariusz
Published: January 2023

The ruling of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal of October 22, 2020 introduced a near-complete ban on abortion in Poland, as it removed from the law the embryopathological condition that allowed abortion when the fetus had an incurable, severe disease. The ruling raises a number of questions regarding the recognition of international protection of human rights, the equal protection status of human rights, and the principle of trust in the state. The Tribunal’s ruling resulted in massive public protests in Poland, the adoption of condemnatory resolutions by the European Parliament, and the submission of a new bill by members of the parliament from the opposition groups. The purpose of the paper is to show the questionable ruling issued by the Constitutional Tribunal from the perspective of protection of human rights and the attempts of opposition MPs to change the legal order. The Tribunal’s ruling violates women’s human rights and is therefore a form of discrimination against women. Attempts by opposition MPs to “civilize” the right to abortion have proved unsuccessful. The jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights may establish a breakthrough, as the Tribunal has received a complaint concerning the prevention of abortion on embryopathological grounds in connection with the ruling of the Constitutional Court of October 22, 2020.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Debt – International Perspective
Authors: Bitner Michał , Sierak Jacek
Published: January 2023

A direct consequence of the pandemic was the widespread occur-rence, and in many OECD countries – a growing public finance imbalance. The paper presents the results of research on the dynamics and structure of public debt, its relation to GDP and to the net borrowing of the general government sector. The main purpose of the article is to show the impact of the pandemic on the size and structure of public debt in the largest EU economies, as well as in other selected OECD countries. An attempt was also made to identify factors that had a significant impact on the amount of public debt during the pandemic. The new debt was used primarily to finance net borrowing and, ultimately, to support the economy and selected social groups. However, as the article points out, the new debt to a significant extent financed the increase in liquidity in the public sector, and in some cases – a larger volume of loans granted by public sector entities and their equity investments.
Category of the Common Good from the COVID-19 Pandemic Perspective
Authors: Gorynia Marian , Słodowa-Hełpa Małgorzata
Published: January 2023

In this study, edited on the basis of a critical review of domestic and foreign literature, as well as authors’ own analyzes, previously presented in several articles (Słodowa-Hełpa 2015; Gorynia 2021 and 2022), mainly in two shorter texts published in popular magazines with a range of Poland (Gory-nia and Słodowa-Hełpa 2022a, 2022b), selected aspects of the concept of the common good from the perspective of the Covid-19 pandemic were presented.

The authors’ conviction that in the process of searching for cures to overcome civilization turbulences, the common good cannot be eliminated from the social, political, economic and moral space, was the inspiration to take up this issue. Therefore, the search for answers to the following four questions was considered leading: Will pandemic experiences catalyze a better understanding of the common good? How can they reduce its deficit? To what extent can a return to the concept of the common good, offering real forms of participation and shared responsibility, help in overcoming the painful effects of the present and future threats to civilization? Can respecting the principles of the common good be considered an imperative in the process of overcoming problems of an increasingly global scope?

In view of the ambiguity of the category of the common good and the related interpretation difficulties, it was deemed necessary to place the main part of the study in the background of the most general approach to the essence of the analyzed category and its status in philosophical and economic terms.

The summary outlines conclusions and postulates concerning the conditions for the functioning of global common goods and the possibility of using them in international cooperation.
Information as a Factor Regulating and Deregulating Markets. A Case Study of the Dot.Com Crisis, the Lehman Brothers Crisis and the Sars-Cov2 Pandemic
Authors: Kinal Jarosław , Kinal Mariola
Published: January 2023

Present, as Manuel Castells (1996) notes, we live in the information age. Knowledge and the way it is acquired and processed are the driving forces of the economy, and information processing systems are the strength of economies. The aim of this article is to identify the key role of the information supply phenomenon in contemporary socio-economic processes. The initial part of the article will define such concepts as: information, infodemia, information market, in the further part examples of the use of information in the process of forming social behaviour in the market context will be presented. For this purpose, three major economic crises from the turn of the 20th and 21st century will be used cross-sectionally. The first will be described as the dot-com crisis, i.e. the first global Internet players, which led to the collapse or loss of value of many global Internet platforms through the creation and bursting of a speculative bubble. The second crisis described below was related to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a leading US bank, and the US housing crisis. In the above case, both supply and concealment of information in the public sphere could be observed. The last crisis described is the crisis related to the SARS-COV2 pandemic, in which dis- and mis- information activities proved to be crucial.
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNIFYING IDEA IN MODERN RUSSIAN STATEHOOD
Authors: Gribanov DMITRY V. , Mitin ALEXANDER N.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of goals and arguments on the objective necessity of forming a unifying idea in modern Russian statehood, a set of values that form the basis of statehood, moral norms that do not provide for strict deadlinesfor implementation. The idea is substantiated that unification in Russia is possible on the basis of strategic planning, based on spiritual and moral natural values that humanity still cherishes, and obstacles to such consolidation are characterized. Special attention is focused on the components of the unifying idea: worldview; morality and morality; values; personal values; value orientations; culture; national consciousness; legal consciousness; state; statehood, state structure. The worldview-rich elements, which are called ideologemes, are presented in detail in the form of generalizing words-symbols, metaphors with powerful suggestive power, interconnected through images: Fatherland, sovereignty, the Russian world, equal opportunities, a single country - a single destiny, justice, solidary development, patriotism, humanity, mercy, service, family, unity in agreement, etc. Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of both general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition. Methods of systematic, comparative legal analysis, special philosophical and legal research tools, involvement of the results of Russian and foreign studies on ideologies, statehood, state structure, problems of worldview, cultural identity were actively used in the work. Research results. According to the results of the analysis, it was revealed that it is impossible not to notice the unifying ideas and ambitions that exist in different states, which are reflected in short mottos that have the property of ideologemes. For Russia's current ambitions, it is to accelerate the crisis of the entire system that developed after the Great Patriotic War, led by the United States, reformat it into a multipolar world, attracting other states to its side, preserving the sovereignty and cultural identity of the people, strengthening its economyand defense capability. In this case, there is a need to reassess the existing basic values and consider their potential for favorable scenarios for the development of the country.Discussion and conclusion. The conclusion is substantiated that the unifying idea is expressed in the fusion of the traditional worldview of the people, which changes much more slowly than state institutions, state structure and statehood, with the necessity of today's time, the demands of the moment. The fusion of the past and the present in this regard is the strongest spiritual and moral bond. The article proposes the author's concept of the unifying idea of Russia, which should be based on an effective state structure, on solving the problems of saving the people, their cultural identity. In this case, it can be argued that the country has statehood.
INTERNATIONAL LAW ASPECTS OF THE POST-BREXIT MIGRATION POLICY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM
Authors: Ivanov DMITRY V. , Pchelintseva VALERIA V.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. In March 2022, the Home Office of the United Kingdom of Great Britain published the Statement on New Immigration Plan according to which persons having no right to reside on its territory would be removed to “safe third countries” according to the agreements with such states. On April 13th, 2022, a Memorandum of Understanding between Great Britain and Rwanda was signed prescribing that persons whose applications for asylum were not considered by Great Britain be removed to Rwanda for those applications to be considered by the latter. Incompatibility of the contemporary immigration policy of Great Britain with its international law obligations justifies the topicality of the assessment of its implications for codification and progressive development of international law. Materials and Methods. The assessment of the contemporary immigration policy of Great Britain from the standpoint of international law includes the matching of the provisions of the international and national acts adopted by Great Britain as well as official statements of its state bodies and officials and the provisions of universal treaties and “soft law” acts. The writings of the publicists studying international law aspects of forced migration, asylum and human rights served as theoretical framework of the present study. Research Results. The assessment of the Memorandum of Understanding reveals the incompatibility of its provisions with the international law norms on asylum and human rights. Such international law policy of the state should be regarded as an example of rejection of international law which is referred to as “international law nihilism” in Russian legal doctrine.Discussions and conclusions. The authors argue that further adoption of legal and political measures contrary to states’ obligations under treaties and international custom as well as the absence of expressed official positions of states with regards to such measures may have an impact on construction and application of international law norms governing legal status of forced migrants.
JURIDIFICATION OF MODERN RUSSIAN SOCIETY AND THE LIMITS OF LEGAL REGULATION: GENERAL THEORETICAL ASPECT OF RESEARCH
Authors: Adamyants SYUZANNA T.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The limits of legal regulation of social relations is the subject of research of representatives of the general theory of law and state, as well as of the representatives of branch legal disciplines. At the same time, the legal literature gives conflicting assessments of the currently observed trend of expanding limits of legal regulation and the legalization of Russian society which is caused by it. In connection with the foregoing, such concepts as "limits of legal regulation", "juridification of society" and "universalization of law" need a deep study that would combine both the ontological aspect of their analysis and those realities that determine the specifics of the existence of any legal system. Materials and methods. The presented researchis based on the application of both general scientificand particular scientific methods of scientific investigation: dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, formal-legal, comparative-legal, etc. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of both normative legal acts and law enforcement activities, which the author considers through the prism of a socially determined expansion of the limits of legal regulation. The results of the study. In the course of the study, the nature and essence of the juridification of modern Russian society was analyzed, which is seen as a form of institutionalization of expanding limits of legal regulation. On the example of various legal acts and law enforcement activity of public authorities, the social conditionality and relevance of the legal regulation of those spheres of life of the Russian society that were traditionally outside the legalregulation were demonstrated. Discussion and conclusion. The position is substantiated, according to which the juridification of society is largely explained by the dialectics of the existence of personal, public and state interests. The expansion of the limits of legal regulation of social relations seems inevitable due to both their very development and the challenges and threats that the Russian state is currently facing. At the same time, the author insists that legal regulation, by its very nature, implies coexistence with other social norms and the limits of legal regulation are a kind of protection of law from inefficiency, a guarantee of its legitimacy and ability to maintain balance in the system of social relations.

Authors: Rilla Gantino  , Endang Ruswanti  , Agung Mulyo Widodo
Published: January 2023

This study aims to compare the influence of Green Accounting and Intellectual Capital on the Firm Value model with Business Strategy as a Moderating Variable, using 2016 to 2021 data from IDX in the Automotive and Components and Consumer Goods sector. This study used purposive sampling and hypothesis testing using multiple regression. Green Accounting is measured by obtaining an ISO 1400, Intellectual Capital by VAICTM and Business Strategy by PPC. The results show green accounting has a negative effect on firm value in the Consumer Goods sector before and after being moderated and a significant positive effect on the other sector. Intellectual Capital has a significant effect on both sectors before and after moderation. Business strategy has a significant relationship with firm value in the Consumer Goods sector but has a negative relationship in other sectors. Business Strategy moderates the influence of Green accounting and Intellectual Capital on firm value.

Artykuł analizuje angażowanie tekstowych form reprezentacji dotyku i ruchu w działania figuracyjne dyskursu sztuki. Na wybranych przykładach utworów sztuki cyfrowej (literatury, rzeźby, instalacji, filmu), architektury ukazuje zjawisko wyprowadzania poetyki na poziom ponaddziedzinowy – tworzenie figur transdyskursywnych i transmedialnych, a także makrotekstów, czyli tekstów nadbudowanych nad zastanymi dyskursami. Artykuł dowodzi tezy, że źródłem eksplozji semantycznej w kulturze współczesnej jest tekstualizacja tego, co technologiczne, biologiczne, innodyskursywne.
Taktylne doświadczanie transseksualnej cielesności
Authors: Kujawska-Kot Anna
Published: January 2023

Autorka artykułu, badając cielesne doświadczenia bohatera transseksualnego w trakcie procesu korekty płci, stawia tezę o możliwości intuicyjnego, uczuciowego i taktylnego zbliżenia się do jego somatycznych przeżyć. W filmowych rozpoznaniach odwołuje się do: kognitywnej teorii emocji Murraya Smitha, symultaniczności zmysłów (Juhani Pallasmaa), rozumienia kina jako namacalnego doświadczenia (Thomas Elsaesser, Malte Hagener, Vivian Sobchack). Stosuje między innymi paralelę między ciałem transbohatera a performansem, by sprowokować odbiorcę do bardziej emocjonalnego podejścia, w którym ukłucia psychosomatyczne, empatia, haptyczna wyobraźnia odgrywają kluczową rolę.
Smak a umysł, czyli specyficzne reprezentacje doświadczenia somatycznego w prozie XX wieku
Authors: Grodecka Aneta
Published: January 2023

Analizy dotyczą pisarstwa o ambicjach mimetycznych, utworów współczesnych, powstałych w XX wieku: Ernesta Hemingwaya Rzeka dwóch serc (1925), Karen Blixen Uczta Babette (1958) i Amosa Oza Poznać kobietę (1989). Można zaobserwować różny stopień literackiej referencji: rodzaj symulacji smakowania posiłku w opowiadaniu Hemingwaya, stylizacji w reprezentacji smaku Oza oraz duchowej deformacji doznań somatycznych w opowiadaniu Blixen. Z analiz wynika, że wnioski pisarzy na temat kultury żywieniowej zależą nie tylko od kręgu kulturowego, ale także indywidualnych właściwości umysłu.
Językiem miłości, językiem ciała. Djuna Barnes i „Wiek 21” Ewy Kuryluk
Authors: Sobczak Izabela
Published: January 2023

Artykuł bada wpływ awangardowej prozy Djuny Barnes na twórczość współczesnej polskiej artystki Ewy Kuryluk, kierując szczególną uwagę na grę intertekstualną między powieściami Ostępy nocy (Barnes) a Wiek 21 (Kuryluk). Pisarstwo Barnes, będące, mówiąc za Julie Taylor, reprezentacją „afektywnego modernizmu”, stylu emocji, za którym stoi doświadczane i doświadczające ciało, staje się dla Kuryluk jednym z głównych źródeł przeżywania traumy oraz miłości. Współczesna polska pisarka niejako stąpa po śladach Barnes: zarówno na poziomie języka i sposobu obrazowania, jak i tematyki oraz symboliki dotyczących zagadnień kobiecości, macierzyństwa, seksualności. Artystka przechwytuje plastyczną i fotograficzną wyobraźnię Barnes, pozostającą w korelacji z innymi twórcami pierwszej połowy XX wieku (np. Hansem Bellmerem), do budowania obrazu miłości z końca ubiegłego stulecia.

Zachodzą między nimi relacje intertekstualne, intersemiotyczne i interpersonalne (Tuwim umieścił utwór Gomulickiego w Księdze wierszy polskich XIX wieku; Linke ilustrował Bal w Operze; zapiska Ghetto zapowiada tekst My, Żydzi polscy). Co dzieje się z motywem wędrującym przez kody kulturowe i znakowe? Czy cezura Zagłady istotnie go odmienia?
Virtual Social Networking Hours: A Vital Personal and Professional Avenue for Connecting Pharmacy Leadership Educators
Authors: Zumach Gregory , Maxwell Whitney D. , Fierke Kerry K.
Published: January 2023

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Leadership Development Special Interest Group (LD SIG) created a Virtual Social Networking Hour (VSNH). The VSNH explored pharmacy leadership educators' connections through discussing topics of interest that influence current teaching and scholarship practices. The VSNH also served to connect members in the LD SIG through informal networking, which was vital during a time when in-person connection was heavily restricted due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The VSNH functioned as both a space for members to connect with LD SIG leadership and other members of the LD SIG and a tool to areas of leadership development the SIG should explore in future programming. Each of the four sessions included a skeleton structure that grew organically based on the conversations of the attendees. Common themes of scholarship, adaptation to a virtual landscape, leadership, and student-focused endeavors were interwoven across all four sessions. The VSNHs have since become an integral component in LD SIG Programming.

Published: January 2023

Background: Current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza vaccination‐related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors remain poorly understood among U.S. children with food allergy, and, particularly, those from non-Hispanic Black, Latinx, and lower-income
backgrounds who bear a disproportionate burden by allergic disease. These data are especially relevant due to historical vaccine hesitancy in children with food allergy and an initial contraindication for those with severe allergic reactions to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Objective:
We sought to characterize COVID-19 and influenza vaccination‐related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in a racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse longitudinal cohort of caregiver-child dyads with immunoglobulin E‐mediated food allergy. Methods:
We leveraged the National Institutes of Health supported FORWARD cohort, which consists of non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic/Latinx children diagnosed with food allergy to assess COVID-19 testing, vaccination, and influenza vaccine concern and utilization through administering
a one-time institutional review board approved survey. Results: Non-Hispanic Black participants were less likely than non-Hispanic White participants to be vaccinated (odds ratio [OR] 0.25 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.08‐0.75]) or tested (OR 0.33 [95% CI, 0.13‐0.85])
for COVID-19 and have the intention to vaccinate their children for influenza (OR 0.42 [95% CI, 0.18‐0.98]). More than one-third of the participants reported that they believed that their child was at greater risk of complications from COVID-19 vaccination due to a food allergy. There
were racial and/or ethnic disparities in the belief that COVID vaccines contain allergenic ingredients; more Hispanic/Latinx (37%) and Black (37%) than White (22%) participants reported this belief (p = 0.02). Conclusion: The present findings of disparities in vaccination-related
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors across racial and/or ethnic, and household income strata suggested that initial reports of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy within the population with food allergy may be further exacerbated by well-documented racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic differences
in vaccine hesitancy, potentially leading to a greater infectious disease burden in these vulnerable populations. This highlights a need for targeted education and outreach among members of these communities who are living with food allergy.
App providing psychosocial and educational supports benefits caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergies
Authors: Broome S. Brantlee , Williams Kelli W. , Hendrix Katharine H.
Published: January 2023

Background: Approximately 6 million children in the United States have a diagnosed food allergy, and 32% of caregivers experience significant psychological distress due to the diagnosis. Despite substantial impacts on psychosocial health and quality of life, few interventions
aim to help caregivers of newly diagnosed children. There is a clear, unmet need for interventions to address caregiver distress, especially after the initial diagnosis. Objective: We developed a mobile psychosocial health intervention, the Food Allergy Symptom Self-Management
with Technology (FASST) app. Primary end points were to determine the app’s feasibility and caregiver satisfaction. Methods: This was a phase II, randomized controlled, implementation study (4-week duration) in caregivers (N = 30) of children ≤ 18 years of age
who were newly diagnosed with a food allergy (≤90 days after the diagnosis). Caregivers (n = 20) were randomized to use the FASST app (intervention group) with access to individualized, self-help symptom relief interventions and food allergy support, and educational resources; or to use
a limited app with a basic FASST interface and links to a few educational resources (control group [n = 10]). Ten participants (intervention group, n = 5; control group, n = 5) participated in semistructured interviews at week 4. Results: Both groups found the app relatively
easy to use. The intervention group scores for safety preparedness during social activities increased by 24%, whereas those in the control group experienced a 1% decline. The intervention group participants increased the use of websites to find food allergy information by 17% at week 4 compared
with 4% for the control group. Although the intervention group participants showed greater gains than did those in the control group in their confidence to prepare for and prevent allergic reactions, and greater declines in perceived social limitations, more participants in the control group
endorsed confidence in their ability to recognize (11% versus 5%, respectively) and treat (10% versus 6%, respectively) allergic reactions. Conclusion: Analysis of our results suggests that the FASST app may provide a feasible means of delivering psychosocial and educational
supports to caregivers of children recently diagnosed with a food allergy.Clinical trial NCT04512924, www.clinicaltrials.gov
Use of fractional exhaled nitric oxide to guide the treatment of asthma and chronic cough
Authors: Khurana Sandhya
Published: January 2023

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a breath biomarker that is easy to perform at the point of care in individuals 5 years or older. Elevated FeNO levels indicate increased type 2 airway inflammation, specifically increased interleukin 4/13 activity. Recent guidelines have made
recommendations on the utility of FeNO measurement in the diagnosis and management of asthma. Measurement of FeNO is recommended as an adjunct to the evaluation process in patients with suspected asthma in whom the diagnosis of asthma is uncertain based on clinical presentation, spirometry,
and bronchodilator challenge testing. Elevated FeNO levels are associated with an increased risk of asthma exacerbation, and FeNO suppression test can help differentiate “difficult” from “severe” asthma. High FeNO levels can predict response to anti-inflammatory therapies,
including corticosteroids and certain biologics. FeNO measurement also has value in evaluation of chronic cough with increased levels suggesting a corticosteroid responsive condition such as cough-variant asthma or eosinophilic bronchitis.
Sobre: Priscilla Connolly et al, Veracruz. La elevación de un puerto
Authors: Pérez Montfort Ricardo
Published: January 2023

Con particular mesura y muy puntualmente Priscilla Connoly se encarga de hacer un perfil del principal responsable de esta modernización del puerto y de su compañía contratista: el inglés Wittman Dickinson Pearson y su empresa Pearson & Son. Siguiendo la lógica de las buenas relaciones entre hombres de poder y hombres de negocios, Pearson estableció una larga carrera de vínculos con México que duró casi lo mismo que durara su amigo Porfirio Díaz en el poder, es decir, casi treinta años.

A lo largo del libro el autor reflexiona en torno a las rupturas, continuidades e innovaciones que aportaron cada uno los distintos grupos, tanto de la sociedad conquistadora como de las diversas sociedades conquistadas. Así, explica la manera cómo se confrontaban y convivivían los distintos sectores de la sociedad y qué tipo de relaciones sociales había entre ellos —relaciones, por lo demás, que estaban marcadas por las tensiones de conflicto surgidas entre peninsulares e indígenas, entre los propios indígenas e incluso entre indígenas y la población afroamericana—, así como las distintas lógicas de apropiación y el uso de los recursos naturales.
Instituciones al servicio de los intereses mercantiles de Tampico, 1823-1854
Authors: Gómez Cruz Filiberta
Published: January 2023

Desde etapa muy temprana el sector mercantil generó redes informales que le hicieron posible participar en la toma de decisiones que orientaron el desarrollon del puerto. Sin embargo, fue a través de instituciones formales como el Ayuntamiento, la Sociedad de Fomento y el Tribunal Mercantil del puerto que realizaron diversas propuestas, representaciones y acciones en el entorno inmediato y ante las autoridades estatales y nacionales para dotar de mejores condiciones el desempeño de su actividad. El estudio de las instituciones mencionadas pretende contribuir a la comprensión de la transición de instituciones de fines del periodo colonial al periodo nacional. Mercantile Corporations in the Early Development of Tampico, 1823-1854Since early stages the merchants from Tampico city generate formal and informal nets which aloud them to participate in the decisions taking to guide the port’s development. However, through formal institutions as the town council, the promotion society and the commercial court of Tampico the before mentioned sector realized several proposals, performances and actions in the immediate environment and before state and national authorities with the purpose of getting better their activity play conditions. The study of mentioned institutions pretends contribute to the transition of institutions that happened between Colony endings and the first’s years of the national period.
Sobre: Fernando Saúl Alanís Enciso, Que se queden allá. El gobierno de México y la repatriación de mexicanos en Estados Unidos (1934-1940),
Authors: Skerrit Gardner David
Published: January 2023

El autor se propone cuestionar la política elaborada por el presidente Cárdenas ante la posibilidad de un retorno masivo de mexicanos del país vecino, tal y como había sucedido a principios de los años veinte, y más aún, de 1929 hasta aproximadamente 1935. Ambos sucesos se relacionaban con recesiones económicas en la Unión Americana, que se tradujeron en discursos que dibujaban a los trabajadores mexicanos, residentes o no, como un lastre para la sociedad estadounidense pues restaban trabajos a los habitantes nacionales y representaban una pesada carga para los sistemas de beneficencia.
Las películas estadounidenses denigrantes para México proyectadas en Argentina y Brasil, 1919-1924
Authors: De la Mora Valencia Rogelio
Published: January 2023

Este artículo examina las películas estadounidenses ofensivas para México exhibidas en Argentina y en Brasil, entre 1919 y 1924. Durante los últimos años de la década de 1910 y los primeros de la de 1920, concluyó la fase violenta de la Revolución mexicana. El gobierno que de ella emergió, intentó obtener el reconocimiento de la comunidad internacional, particularmente en los países de América Latina. Por su parte, Estados Unidos, queriendo legitimar tradicionales intervenciones armadas, condenó tanto al gobierno mexicano como a los principios ideológicos que lo sustentaban. El autor intenta aquí analizar esta desigual batalla propagandística en las salas de cine de Argentina y Brasil. Denigrating American Films on Mexico shown in Argentina and Brazil, from 1919 to 1924This article examines offensive American films on Mexico, exhibited in Argentina and Brazil, from 1919 to 1924. During the last years of the 1910’s and the beginning of the 1920’s, the violent period of the Mexican revolution was over. The government which emerged from this event, tried to obtain the recognition of the international community, particularly the Latin America countries. On the other hand, the United States, wishing to legitimate traditional military interventions, disapproved of the Mexican government as well as the ideological principles that underpinned it. The author tries to recreate this unequal propagandistic battle on the cinema screens in Argentina and Brazil.
