Authors: Alves Weverton Fernandes Bento , Matta Ronaly Cajueiro de Melo da , Salles Langeane Clementina De Souza
Published: December 2020

A contemporaneidade vê-se marcada pela possibilidade da existência de inúmeras formas de uniões afetivas, de modo que as discussões acerca da possibilidade da coexistência da paternidade e/ou maternidade socioafetiva decorrentes da multiparentalidade sempre se mostraram controversas. Com a edição do Provimento nº 63 pela Corregedoria do CNJ em 2017, não existe espaço para que se critique a plena validade da dupla filiação. Nessa acepção, o presente artigo, utilizando-se do método da dogmática jurídica, dispondo, para tanto, da revisão doutrinária e da revisão da legislação relacionadas ao tema em questão, analisa, sumariamente, o percurso histórico da evolução do conceito de família, do parentesco e da filiação, bem como estuda as minúcias da família formada pela multiparentalidade com o fito de compreender seu conteúdo. À medida em que se tratará, como objeto específico do presente trabalho, das consequências jurídicas decorrentes do reconhecimento da dupla filiação.

Authors: Burgos Pimentel dos Santos Marcelo , Segurado Rosemary , Malina Pedro
Published: December 2020

O artigo apresenta os resultados de pesquisa cujo objetivo foi compreender as novas formas de participação política no Brasil no que tange dimensões à efetivação da democracia. Para isso, analisou as ações de cidadãos e movimentos sociais que no Senado Federal contestaram leis sobre direitos e usos da maconha no Brasil. Os grupos analisados têm, nos usos da internet e do ciberativismo, o intuito de promover um debate amplo sobre a maconha através de seu engajamento político. As ações ocorrem dentro dos marcos legais e arranjos institucionais previstos na Constituição Federal (CF-88), além da utilização de mecanismos de mobilização de cidadãos para participar nos debates públicos. Resultados indicam ampliação do diálogo entre instituições políticas e a sociedade civil e, ao mesmo tempo, limitações dos arranjos institucionais para fortalecimento da democracia. AbstractThis article aims to contribute to the understanding the new forms of political participation in Brazil regarding some dimension of democracy effectiveness. The research analyzed some citizens and social movements actions challenges laws and rules about the rights and uses of marijuana in Brazil. The analysis demonstrates that the groups used internet and cyber-activisms to promote and deepen debates about marijuana cultivation.These actions take place within the legal and institutional arrangements foreseen in the Federal Constitution (CF-88) and also trough formal mechanisms of civic participation in public debates (E-Citizenship Program). The results indicate a broadening of dialogue between political institutions and civil society, and at the same time, some limitations of institutional arrangements for strengthening democracy.

MÉTODOS DE ANÁLISE AUTOMATIZADA DE CONTEÚDO APLICADOS AOS DISCURSOS PARLAMENTARES
Authors: Vieira Ricardo Modesto
Published: December 2020

Ao reduzir substancialmente o tempo e os custos de se fazer pesquisa utilizando textos, os métodos de análise automatizada de conteúdo tornaram factível a investigação de grandes acervos, como os discursos parlamentares, quantitativamente. Esse artigo identifica o arcabouço de conceitos dessa nova fronteira do conhecimento, descreve um típico projeto de texto como dado, apresenta as principais metodologias e suas aplicações aos discursos parlamentares, mostra os principais desafios e as boas práticas dessa área de pesquisa e, finalmente, sugere como aplicar esses métodos em acervos de Casas Legislativas. A intenção não é esgotar a gama de métodos, técnicas e modelos; mas fornecer um guia para que esses métodos, cada vez mais populares entre cientistas políticos e sociais, sejam bem aplicados aos discursos parlamentares e às Casas Legislativas.
EDUCAÇÃO POLÍTICA, DEMOCRACIA E DEMANDA JOVEM: A VISÃO DE ESTUDANTES DE ENSINO MÉDIO SOBRE A POLÍTICA
Authors: Dantas Humberto , Silva Felipe Rivello da , Garcia Paulo Marcelo Rocha , Virgolino Ronival Silva
Published: December 2020

A educação política tem desafiado princípios gerais da democracia e, principalmente, têm estado no centro das atenções de escolas do parlamento. A despeito das atividades desenvolvidas, parece bastante razoável partir de uma ideia inicial de que precisamos conhecer o que os jovens pensam sobre política, democracia, eleições e partidos. A partir de então refletiremos sobre ações voltadas a esse público nos parlamentos e na sociedade em geral. Partindo dessa ideia o objetivo desse trabalho é compreender, por meio de pesquisa quantitativa, comparando cidades, o que jovens do terceiro ano de ensino médio de um conjunto de escolas públicas de Belém-PA, Macapá-AP e São Paulo-SP pensam sobre política e como se relacionam com a temática. Parte-se da hipótese de que existe interesse desse público pela política e que os resultados não diferem entre as cidades.

Para tanto, utilizou-se da dogmática jurídica, sobretudo, da revisão da literatura e da legislação brasileira.
AVALIAÇÃO DA EFETIVIDADE DA POLÍTICA DE BANDEIRAS TARIFÁRIAS NA REGIÃO SUDESTE DO BRASIL (2015-2018)
Authors: Viana Lívia De Souza , Hofmann Rose Mirian , Teles Fausto Barros de Sá , Schwartz Fabiano Peruzzo
Published: December 2020

Em 2015, a Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel) instituiu a Política de Bandeiras Tarifárias na conta de energia, como forma de dar sinal econômico de curto prazo ao consumidor e, com isso, induzir um comportamento de redução de consumo em períodos críticos. Este trabalho se propõe a avaliar a efetividade da política por meio de duas abordagens estatísticas: a comparação entre médias de variação de consumo, e a regressão linear múltipla a partir de variáveis com potencial explicativo sobre o perfil de consumo de energia elétrica. As duas abordagens foram desenvolvidas a partir de dados de consumidores residenciais da Região Sudeste do Brasil, e convergiram para um resultado comum: a aplicação da Política de Bandeiras Tarifárias não alterou de forma significativa o consumo de energia elétrica, o que sugere possível falha na efetividade dessa política. Em 2015, a Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel) instituiu a Política de Bandeiras Tarifárias na conta de energia, como forma de dar sinal econômico de curto prazo ao consumidor e, com isso, induzir um comportamento de redução de consumo em períodos críticos.

EMBRIAGUEZ AO VOLANTE, HOMICÍDIO E LESÃO CORPORAL NO CÓDIGO DE TRÂNSITO BRASILEIRO: CONSIDERAÇÕES CRÍTICAS SOBRE A LEI Nº 13.546/2017
Authors: Rodrigues Glaison Lima
Published: December 2020

O presente estudo tem por fim apresentar considerações críticas sobre a Lei nº 13.546/2017, com especial destaque para os crimes de homicídio e lesão corporal previstos no Código de Trânsito Brasileiro e a relação destes delitos com a embriaguez ao volante. Embora tida por uma inovação legislativa mais severa, na prática a lei em comento não inviabiliza a aplicação de institutos de direito penal, tal como a substituição da pena privativa de liberdade por pena restritiva de direitos, e também não autoriza o decreto de prisão preventiva tendo em vista que os crimes permanecem com sua natureza culposa. Ademais, serão apontadas as impropriedades técnicas da referida lei, incluindo as justificativas do veto presidencial ao projeto aprovado.
A DESINFORMAÇÃO NA AGENDA PÚBLICA DO PARLAMENTO: AS ESTRATÉGIAS DO SENADO FEDERAL CONTRA AS NOTÍCIAS FALSAS
Authors: Silva Michel Carvalho da
Published: December 2020

Analisa-se o tratamento conferido pelo Senado Federal à questão da desinformação, discutindo como uma demanda social se torna um problema público, que exige uma ação do Estado. Esta Casa Legislativa dá visibilidade à discussão em torno da necessidade de políticas públicas para lidar com os efeitos da propagação de conteúdos falsos, principalmente colocados em circulação nas redes sociais de internet. O trabalho mostra que as estratégias do Senado adotadas nas esferas institucional/comunicacional e legislativa buscam fortalecer a imagem deste parlamento junto à população. No entanto, verifica-se que um problema social, como o da desinformação, não pode ser resolvido com ações açodadas e meramente midiáticas. O combate às informações falsas exige medidas amplas e efetivas, que contem com a participação dos diferentes setores da sociedade civil.
REPRESENTAÇÃO POLÍTICA DA BAHIA NA CÂMARA DOS DEPUTADOS: AS ELITES DO PODER DURANTE O REGIME MILITAR
Authors: Silva Maurício Ferreira , Passos Ana Quele
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho aborda a representação política do estado da Bahia na Câmara dos Deputados durante o regime militar. O objetivo é identificar, a partir da análise sociopolítica, os segmentos sociais majoritários que se destacaram na casa legislativa em quatro categorias analíticas: sexo, nível educacional, atuação profissional e vinculação partidária. O percurso metodológico traçado teve como ponto de partida a análise documental, coleta e sistematização de dados biográficos, seguindo abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa de caráter descritivo. O trabalho trás como resultado a construção de uma radiografia política que, por sua vez, apresenta duas importantes conclusões acerca do perfil representativo: o viés elitista, em função da identificação com os grupos de privilégio da sociedade e o atrelamento ideológico aos governos militares.

Authors: Gregorio Paulo Cesar
Published: December 2020

Estudos sobre a funcionalidade de partidos e sistemas partidários que consideram as dimensões ideológica e programática da competição partidária, via congruência partidária, proporcionam uma melhor compreensão sobre a definição de agendas legislativas. Este trabalho permite analisar a congruência entre as prioridades temáticas, expressas nas cláusulas do Estatuto do partido NOVO, e sua agenda legislativa subsequente, fornecendo elementos auxiliadores para compreensão do grau de representatividade entre o Congresso e partido. Utilizaremos a Análise de Conteúdo de todas as proposições dos oito deputados federais do partido, no mandato de 2019, a fim de identificar os temas mais recorrentes. Esta análise empírica corrobora com a hipótese de que o partido NOVO apresenta congruência partidária significativa, uma vez que seus parlamentares apresentam proposições que refletem as diretrizes programáticas presentes em seu Estatuto, expressas em temas como capacitação, transparência e empreendedorismo.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies bind to acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibody-associated MG patients often have severe symptoms, including bulbar dysfunction, respiratory insufficiency, and atrophy of the facial and tongue muscles. Due to its fluctuating nature and the similarity to the symptoms other disorders MG is one of the most challenging medical diagnoses.Fluctuating character and the similarity of symptoms to those of other disorders make MG one of the most challenging medical diagnoses. Initial misdiagnosis of MuSK-MG can lead to worsening of symptoms. The diagnosis is confirmed by positive results on pharmacological testing, electrodiagnostictesting and serum antibodyassay. Symptomatic, immunoactive, and supportive approaches to therapy have very good effect and the prognosis is improved with precocious interventions.

Association of household income and female labour force participation rate in income generating activities in hill rural areas of Uttarakhand
Authors: Kandari Prashant , Bahuguna Uma
Published: December 2020

As per 2011 Census, about 70 per cent of population in Uttarakhand state resides in rural areas and the ten hill districts out of total 13 districts of the State comprises 48.1 per cent of its entire population. Difficult terrain, lack of transport, lack of employment due to non availability of industrial sector along with small farm sizes and low farm incomes has fuelled large migration from these hill rural areas of the Uttarakhand to the urban regions across the country. The various studies reflect upon the importance of women in the economy of the hill areas as they share the burden of their families and their participation in employment and subsistence cum income generating activities mainly in the rural regions is much higher than the males. The importance of women further enhances amidst the severe problem of migration of males and mainly of the youths from these regions to the urban areas. The women are left back to work in most tough conditions further taking care of the domestic chores. The females labour force participation is higher in rural areas of the state, as per National Sample Survey Office, 68th Round, the female labour force participation rate in rural areas was 31.5 percent and 10.8 percent in urban areas of the state. In this context it is very important to understand the nature of female labour force participation i.e. , whether it is in non-income generating sector like agriculture or in purely income generating sector which mainly comprises of both i.e., agriculture and non-agriculture sector. The present study analyses this distribution of female labour force participation and depicts the association between the female labour force participation in income generating activities and the total household income.

Requirement of HE-PIXE at High Z Elements in Charnockite Matrix Composition
Authors: Venkata Surya Satyanarayana Avupati , Jagannadha Rao Mokka , Seetharami Reddy Byreddy
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The maximum of Proton Induced X-ray Emission analytical technique on metamorphic rocks in geology has used 3 MeV range proton beams for excitation of thick targets. Protons of such energies do not accurately excite K-X–rays for high Z elements in matrix geological compositions like charnockite. In this analysis, low-energy PIXE (LE-PIXE) uses K-X-rays of Low Z elements and L-X-ray series for high Z elements. The resulting spectra between K-X-rays of light elements and L-X-rays of heavy elements can require striping techniques to resolve overlap difficulties in matrix composition. The results high Z elements in charnockite are to be expected, as the cross section for K-shell ionization of high-Z elements have greater values in the proton energy range of greater than 3 MeV in case of charnockite matrix composition. It has been suggested that the overlap of these discrete, gamma-rays with the X-ray spectrum may be serious problem in charnockite high energy PIXE (HE-PIXE) work, sufficient to preclude its use as a viable analytical technique. The conclusion proves that for a very complex matrix charnockite material of unknown chemistry, a HE-PIXE analytical spectrum may contain various X-ray and gamma peaks, some of which may overlap, making the analysis of line identities and the evaluation of X-ray counts intractable. It does not however represent any intrinsic drawback in HE-PIXE, nor does it mean that HE-PIXE is any more or less intractable than many other nuclear analytical techniques. Alternatively, the same analytical tool use could be made of gamma-rays in HE-PIXE as in low energy analytical tools like PIGE, NRA or INAA to obtain the results of charnockite at high Z completely.
Technical note: Accounting for snow in the estimation of root-zone
water storage capacity from precipitation and evapotranspiration
fluxes
Authors: Dralle David N. , Hahm W. Jesse , Chadwick K. Dana , McCormick Erica , Rempe Daniella M.
Published: December 2020

Abstract. A common parameter in hydrological modeling frameworks is root-zone water storage capacity (SR[L]), which mediates plant-water availability during dry periods and the partitioning of rainfall between runoff and evapotranspiration. Recently, a simple flux-tracking based approach was introduced to estimate the value of SR (Wang-Erlandsson et al., 2016). Here, we build upon this original method, which we argue may overestimate SR in snow-dominated catchments due to snow melt and evaporation processes. We propose a simple extension to the method presented by Wang-Erlandsson et al. (2016), and show that the approach provides a more conservative minimum estimate of SR in snow-dominated watersheds. This SR dataset is available at 1 km resolution for the continental United States, along with the full analysis code, on Google Colaboratory and Earth Engine platforms. We highlight differences between the original and new methods across the rain-snow transition in the Southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA. As climate warms and precipitation increasingly arrives as rain instead of snow, the subsurface may be an increasingly important reservoir for storing plant-available water between wet and dry seasons; improved estimates of SR will therefore better clarify the future role of the subsurface as a storage reservoir that can sustain forests during seasonal dry periods and episodic drought.
A cross-scale study for compound flooding processes during
Hurricane Florence
Authors: Ye Fei , Huang Wei , Zhang Yinglong J. , Moghimi Saeed , Myers Edward , Pe’eri Shachak , Yu Hao-Cheng
Published: December 2020

Abstract. We study the compound flooding processes as occurred in Hurricane Florence (2018) that was accompanied by heavy precipitation, using a 3D creek-to-ocean hydrodynamic model. We examine the important role played by barrier islands in the observed compound surges in the coastal watershed. Locally very high resolution is used in some watershed areas in order to resolve small features that turn out to be critical for capturing the observed High Water Marks locally. The wave effects are found to be significant near barrier islands and have contributed to some observed over-toppings and breaches. Sensitivity results from applying each of the three major forcing factors (oceanic, fluvial and pluvial) separately are succinctly summarized in a dominance map that highlights significant compound effects in most of the affected coastal watersheds, estuaries and back bays behind the barrier islands. Operational forecasts based on the current model are being set up at NOAA to help coastal resource and emergency managers with disaster planning and mitigation effort.

Authors: Aily Jéssica Bianca , Barton Christian John , Mattiello Stela Marcia , De Oliveira Silva Danilo , De Noronha Marcos
Published: December 2020

Background: The effectiveness of telerehabilitation for a patient with knee osteoarthritis may depend upon the person’s adherence to intervention. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether people with knee osteoarthritis would adhere to exercise-therapy facilitated via multiple media in Brazil, a newly industrialized country. Method: This is a feasibility study, pre-post intervention. Middle aged (40-50 years) and elderly (?70 years) people with knee osteoarthritis received in-person exercise-therapy instructions on the first day, along with a booklet and DVD (videos) to take home. Participants also received six motivational phone calls throughout the 12-week treatment. Satisfaction and adherence were assessed one week after intervention with the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS), sections B and C. Preference on the method used to adhere to exercises was recorded. Conclusion: Telerehabilitation was well accepted by middle-aged and elderly Brazilians with knee osteoarthritis. The preferred media to enhance adherence, was a booklet with descriptions of the exercises, especially for the elderly cohort.

Published: December 2020

Objective: Telerehabilitation has long been recognized as a promising means of providing pediatric services; however, significant barriers such as cost, payor reimbursement, and access prevented widespread use. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adoption of telerehabilitation into clinical practice to provide access to care while maintaining social distancing. The purpose of this study is to present clinical data on the feasibility and acceptability of speech-language pathology, developmental occupational and physical therapies, and sports and orthopedic therapies telerehabilitation delivered in a pediatric hospital setting. Methods: Telerehabilitation services were rapidly implemented in three stages: building the foundation, implementing, and refining this service delivery model. Paper patient satisfaction surveys were administered as part of ongoing quality improvement efforts throughout 2019 and were adapted for online administration in 2020 for telerehabilitation patients. Outpatient visit counts by type (in-person, phone, and video) were extracted from the electronic medical record using data warehousing techniques. Results: Historical patient satisfaction rates from 2019 indicated high patient satisfaction (98.97% positive responses); these results were maintained for telerehabilitation visits (97.73%), indicating that families found telerehabilitation services acceptable. Patient volume returned to 73.5% of pre-pandemic volume after the implementation of telerehabilitation services. Conclusions: Pediatric telerehabilitation is feasible to provide in clinical settings, and the services are acceptable to patient families. Future work is needed to evaluate the impact of telerehabilitation services on patient care and applications for ongoing use of this delivery model.

Authors: Zheng Ye , Jiang Yunshan , Qin Kexin
Published: December 2020

In the past 10 years, various sudden public outbreaks of diseases worldwide have posed great threats to the economic and social development of countries. However, there is a lack of case studies and empirical studies on the fight against major outbreaks in foreign public health institutions. Based on a review of classical materials and narrative research methods, this study combs the institutional profile, function allocation, and funding input of the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and focuses on the CDC’s important measures and experiences in preventing and controlling the Ebola virus in West Africa during 2014–2015. According to the research, the main characteristics of CDC’s epidemic prevention and control in the United States are effective organizational structure and system, as well as the abilities of emergency management of rapid response. Furthermore, these two advantages and characteristics have penetrated the construction of the incident management system, adoption of specialized technical means and tools, and wide cooperation network and organizational coordination. Accordingly, the enlightenment of public health institutions regarding “epidemic prevention” and “anti-epidemic” is proposed from two aspects: system construction and ability enhancement.

Authors: Hollá Katarína
Published: December 2020

The present study maps different types of adolescent sexting in the Slovak Republic, i.e. primary and secondary sexting, as well as self- and peer-sexting. Our research has been focused on the investigation and comparison of motives that make the adolescents of different ages and genders decide for voluntary, forced, primary, secondary, self- or peer-sexting. The research sample included 790 Slovak adolescents aged 12–18, of which 376 were boys (47.6%) and 414 were girls (52.4%). The gender-based comparison provided us with statistically significant differences in pursuing various types of sexting. The most frequent form of sexting is peer sexting. In terms of motivation, the research shows that most adolescents use individual sexting forms to seek attention or entertain themselves. Secondary sexting (as the most dangerous form of this behavior) is most often driven by entertainment, retaliation, revenge and jealousy. All these motives were also statistically more significant for male respondents.

Background: A set of measures to prevent the formation of gross organic mental disorders in combat participants having traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health task. This study aims to conduct a catamnestic survey of retired combat participants who possess a history of TBI to determine the directions of prevention of dementia formation. Methods: Seventy-one retired combatants were surveyed at the time of their retirement and three years after their retirement. Clinical and experimental psychological methods were used. To identify the dynamics of cognitive disorders, the Short Sample Test was used (in the adaptation of Vanderlick), and Kotenev’s Questionnaire of Traumatic Stress was used for post-stress disorders –. The catamnestic method was applied via the study of outpatient cards and using a social survey of retired combatants three years after their dismissal. Results: It was found that 47.8% of participants in combat operations had neurosis-like disorders with impaired emotions, 26.8% – organic emotional-labile disorder, 25.4% – organic personality disorder, 26.7% – alcohol abuse, and 25.4% were disabled due to mental illness. Three years after their dismissal, their cognitive abilities had a significant negative dynamic with a marked decrease in the integral indicator of intellectual activity; emotional disorders, and signs of psychosocial maladaptation were detected. Conclusion: A catamnestic analysis of the mental health of participants in combat operations with traumatic brain injury in their history showed the presence of adverse psychosocial trends, a fact that requires the development of measures to improve the effectiveness of complex inter-professional therapy and rehabilitation. To prevent the formation of deep mental disorders with severe cognitive impairment and dementia, it is necessary to develop and improve the regulatory legal and information base for organizing psychiatric care.
Job Status and Depressive Symptoms in Older Employees : An Empirical Analysis with SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) Data
Authors: Moreno Mencia Patricia , Cantarero Prieto David
Published: December 2020

Background: Depression is a frequently occurring mental illness that has been shown to be strongly related to important life outcomes, such as education or labor. Few studies focus on the impact of job status on the risk of depressive symptoms. Aims: We used longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe for people aged from 50 to 64 years old across 11 countries to analyze how the type of job is related to depression. Methods: Associations between the type of job and depressive symptoms are analyzed using logistic multilevel models. Results: The risk of depressive symptoms is higher for self-employers. Among the self-employed, women are more at risk (OR: 3.22) as well as those who visit the doctor more frequently. On the other hand, people reporting a good quality of life and those living with a partner demonstrate a lower risk of depressive symptoms. These effects manifest less for employees, while the risk is also higher for women and those visiting the doctor frequently but lower for those who have a good quality of life or children. Conclusions: The stress suffered at work is related to a higher risk of depressive symptoms. The self-employed usually experience more stress at work, as this is related to a larger responsibility and, usually, less stability.

The professionalization of forensic anthropology in North America began with the establishment of the Physical Anthropology section (now Anthropology Section) of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) in 1972 and the development of the American Board of Forensic Anthropology (ABFA) board certification program in 1977–78. This review first outlines the history of ABFA board certification, then discusses temporal trends among ABFA diplomate recipients, ABFA leadership, and ABFA qualification requirements (i.e., examination structure and content). The data reveal that ABFA demographic and qualification developments mirror academic trends in the discipline over the past four decades. Our assessment indicates substantial growth of the ABFA from the year 2000 to present, a shorter waiting period between receipt of the PhD and board certification, and a significant shift toward a membership and leadership reflective of a younger cohort with greater representation by women. Changes in ABFA qualifications, as revealed by an exam content review over this period, reflect many of the academic trends we have seen in our discipline as a whole, including greater specialization, reliance on technological advancements, recognition of population variability, and the need to accurately measure and mitigate error and bias. With the increased availability of DNA analysis, biological profile research and expertise may be giving way to other specializations within forensic anthropology, including bone morphology, skeletal growth and development, fracture biomechanics, fracture healing, and taphonomy, including time since death estimation.
Fair and Sustainable Taxation—From a European Horizon
Authors: Gunnarsson Åsa
Published: December 2020

Sustainability has become the key principle for our future, and, in tax policy, sustainability has long been equal to the dominant concept of “taxing for economic growth.” However, the concept lacks an idea on justice, tax justice as well as social justice, which inevitably leads to economic inequality gaps. New literature and empirical studies have contributed to a new awareness on how increasing inequalities can undermine economic growth. Based on the European situation, this Article argues for new perspectives on fair and sustainable taxation. Gender equality is one of these new perspectives. Why is explained in this Article.
Do Older Adults with Overactive Bladder Demonstrate Impaired Executive Function Compared to Their Peers Without OAB?
Authors: Gibson William , Makhani Asad , Hunter Kathleen F. , Wagg Adrian
Published: December 2020

Background
Maintaining urinary continence is not an automatic process, but relies on continuous processing of sensory signals from the bladder and suppression of the desire to void. Urinary incontinence (UI) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia are highly prevalent among the general population. This prevalence rises in association with increasing age, and this may be in part due to changes in the central nervous system rather than the urinary tract. The aim of this study was to assess if older adults with overactive bladder (OAB) had demonstrable impairment in executive function.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional study comparing the performance of adults aged 65 and over with and without OAB on two cognitive tests, the Trail Making Test B (TMT-B) and simple reaction time (SRT). OAB was defined as urgency, with at least weekly urgency incontinence and a daytime urinary frequency of 8 or more. The control group were defined as a Bladder control Self-Assessment Questionnaire (B-SAQ) score of ≤4.
Results
56 participants were recruited, of whom 35 met criteria for OAB. The OAB group took significantly longer to complete the TMT-B than the control group (103s vs. 77s, p = .003). There was no difference in the SRT
Conclusions
In this sample of older adults, OAB was associated with measurable slower performance on the TMT-B, suggesting that impaired executive function is associated with OAB.
Improving Dementia Care Among Family Physicians: From Stigma to Evidence-Informed Knowledge

Published: December 2020

Dementia is a national public health issue and a growing concern across Canada. Recently, the Government of Canada released a national dementia strategy focused on the need to prevent dementia, advance therapies, find a cure, and improve the quality of life for people with dementia. Family physicians are a primary source of care in discussing concerns of cognitive health and dementia, especially in rural and remote communities in Canada. However, research indicates that family physicians often lack knowledge and feel ill-equipped in providing care to older adults with dementia. Inadequate knowledge and education of dementia contributes to the stigmatization (stereotypes, labeling, discriminatory practices) of people with dementia and creates barriers to diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, studies show that there is dementia-related stigma among family physicians. We believe that there is a critical gap and urgent need for better dementia education and training among family physicians to improve dementia care, treatment and timely diagnosis. Thus, it is time to rethink our approach to dementia care in Canada, and to recognize that better care of older adults requires more evidence-informed research, education and interprofessional collaboration in order to reduce stigma and improve the quality of care for people with dementia.
Maintaining paternalism, retaining patriarchy: Gender and class in a Finnish industrial company, 1880–1980
Authors: Kaihovirta Matias
Published: December 2020

This article examines industrial paternalism in Finland throughout a century, from the 1880s to the 1980s, and coincides with the rise and decline of industrial society in the history of Western capitalism. The focus of the article is on social relationships between management and employees in an ironworks in Billnäs, located in south-western Finland, and how it developed and changed during the studied time period. Applying a microscopic historical analysis, this article looks at universal phenomenon, namely concerning social relations and gender in the world of industrial paternalism in concrete detail. In addition to a historical understanding of paternalism, the article also contributes to a broader understanding of the relationship between social and economic relations in paternalist organizations with a view to exploring the cultural understandings of gender and class.
Employee Empowerment and Paternalism: A Conceptual Analysis of Empowerment's Embeddedness in Communicative Contexts
Authors: Weidenstedt Linda
Published: December 2020

Empowerment as a management technique builds on the assumption that employees desire more power. Consequently, to a large extent, research on employee empowerment has focused on defining the type of power that should be contained in empowerment, identifying relevant mediating and moderating effects of and for empowerment as well as empowerment's boundary conditions such as individual and social attributes. However, less research has dealt with communicative and relational aspects and how these may impact the outcome of employee empowerment. This paper uses an interactional perspective to conceptually analyse communicative meanings entailed in employee empowerment. Building on sociological theories of communicative interaction, it is argued that focusing on leaders’ and members’ ascriptions of meanings to each other’s communicative messages reveals paternalistic power structures that are of relevance for the failure and success of empowerment. A communicative analysis of common structural and psychological empowerment efforts suggests that members’ sensemaking of their roles and situations, as defined by formal (written) and informal (psychological) contracts, may not necessarily be in line with the communicative meanings intended by leaders’ actions, and vice versa.
