Possibilities of using cluster solutions in the policy of revitalisation of degraded municipal infrastructure in Ukraine
Authors: Gumieniczek Andrzej
Published: November 2023

This paper discusses the issues concerning the policy of revitalisation as the basis for planning and carrying out the social and economic reconstruction of Ukraine. It is crucial to consider the scale of destruction and degradation of urban tissue, as well as the migration which occurred in the wake of the military operations. As a result, it is necessary to devise a specific programme of revitalisation which would use innovative organisational and guarantee instruments on a macro-, meso-, and microeconomic levels. The paper considers the factors which determine the aims of the municipal revitalisation policies, as well as their models, which include an analysis of degradation of urban areas as a step in the development of cities. The paper includes an examination of demographic factors, as well as those, which are associated with depopulation. In addition, the importance of urban infrastructure was highlighted in the process of revitalisation. Furthermore, the paper covers the analysis of literature regarding experiences in terms of using revitalisation clusters in degraded areas. The development of chosen clusters in cities in Western Europe was examined, having identified and evaluated basic conditioning factors of their use in revitalisation processes. Moreover, the importance of clusters was discussed, together with their possible use by establishing ‘Key National Cluster’ and, within its confines, ‘Regional Key Clusters’ in chosen oblasts in Ukraine according to their division into international areas of reconstruction. The scale of destruction and degradation of given areas of Ukraine was evaluated in terms of particular elements of revitalisation, together with the costs associated with reconstruction. This analysis covers the losses Ukraine experienced between July and December 2022.
De islamistas a islamo-demócratas: el caso de Ennahda en Túnez
Authors: Hernández-Gutiérrez José Carlos
Published: November 2023

La vuelta de las organizaciones islamistas a la política tras la primavera árabe genera una necesidad de examinar el islamismo moderado y su compromiso con la democracia en Túnez. El objetivo es examinar la evolución de los principios de Ennahda desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad. Tras realizar este estudio de caso, se concluye que, aunque el partido conserva una referencia islámica como fuente de inspiración, ésta puede entenderse como un intento de armonizar el islam y la democracia secular. Además, la moderación de Ennahda es patente desde sus orígenes, llegando en la actualidad a constituir una organización islamo-demócrata.
O rastro divino no mundo
Authors: ANDRADE Clodomir Barros de
Published: November 2023

Este artigo busca explorar algumas possibilidades metodológicas de aproximação do fenômeno da manifestação do divino no mundo material a partir de uma “semiótica da teofania”, explorando as imbricações poliédricas entre teologia/ciências da religião, estética e semiótica em contextos politeístas da imanência. Para tanto, partimos do conceito de “teofania”, presente na obra do pensador, filólogo e estudioso da religião alemão Walter Friedrich Otto (1874-1958), e do universo espiritual e filosófico helênico antigo como plataforma para tal reflexão.

Selama ini, pengaduan masyarakat yang ingin disampaikan secara lisan pada tingkat pedesaan biasanya harus menunggu waktu yang tepat untuk bertemu aparatur desa. Selain itu, pengaduan yang telah disampaikan melalui media komunikasi daring seringnya menyulitkan apratur desa untuk menyimpan dan mengorganisir data tersebut. Pada penelitian ini, sistem informasi berbasis website akan diimplementasikan dalam membangun sistem pengaduan masyarakat desa yang dapat diakses secara daring untuk melaporkan masalah yang terjadi. Sistem pengaduan masyarakat desa dibangun dengan menerapkan metode Human Centered Design yang terdiri dari beberapa tahapan yaitu: spesifikasi konteks pengguna, spesifikasi kebutuhan pengguna, merancang sistem, dan pengujian sistem. Pengujian kualitas sistem dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2 (dua) metode diantaranya blackbox dan webqual. Dengan menggunakan webqual, pengujian sistem pengaduan masyarakat desa mendapatkan hasil yang tinggi pada skala 5 yaitu 67,19% untuk kegunaan, 64,58% untuk kualitas informasi, 62,92% untuk interaksi pengguna, dan 65,04% untuk kualitas website. Hasil pengujian sistem tersebut dapat menjadi pertimbangan awal untuk memutuskan penggunaan sistem pengaduan masyarakat desa nantinya.

Published: November 2023

Forensic science has been helping law enforcement agencies in better understanding and presenting the evidence in the court of law. In certain situations, when conventional forensic methods of investigations cannot make better conclusions with more specific accuracy, then molecular techniques do help in reaching the acquired accuracy in the results regarding the identification of evidence. Advanced molecular techniques, which are using Deoxyribose Nucleic acid (DNA), Ribose Nucleic Acid (RNA), and protein molecules to produce forensically important information from the samples recovered at the crime scene. DNA can only distinguish among individuals but is unable to discriminate the type of samples originated from the same sample. For this RNA has become a molecule of interest for its different levels of expressionin different cells/tissues of an individual. RNA molecules of different types are being used to build up models for several purposes (injury-age, new-born age, molecular cause of death, etc.). Modern techniques like Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Microarray are being used for the detection of RNA molecules of interest both in the form of its abundance and as a unique molecular detection. This script will help in understanding the importance of RNA application in forensic sciences by providing an overview of the research done to date and the techniques being used for this purpose.

Authors: Navied Umbreen , Arshad Sana , Ahmed Uzair , Hameed Aamir
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and is initiating an overburden in developing countries. A grave illness, such as cancer, not only affects lives of patients, but also the lives of their caregivers. A caregiver nurtures continuous support, responsibility, concern and care hence,undergoes immense psychological distress because of the fear of losing their loved one, thus affecting their own quality of life (QOL). The study aims to assess the QOL of caregivers of cancer patients by using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL BREF) Questionnaire.
Methods: This cross-sectional study of caregivers of cancer patient’s was carried out at INMOL, MayoHospital, Jinnah Hospital and Children Hospital Lahore within 6 months in 2017. Interviews of 267 caregivers of diagnosed cancer patients were taken using WHOQOL BREF Questionnaire. Information was collected regarding QOL of caregivers and socio-demographic variables. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used for data compilation and analysis hence taking P-value ≤0.05 as significant.
Results: The study results suggest that several conditions obtain an impact on the QOL of caregivers. For all measures the higher the score calculated the better the QOL. The caregivers of cancer patients reported the lowest mean score (6.89 ± 1.56) in general health and QOL. Caregiver’s low educational status, marriedstature, along-with their own current illness and health problems described lowest mean scores in QOL.
Conclusion: The results of this study provided information that caregivers revealed a low QOL. Therefore understanding of several aspects affecting the QOL of caregivers may assist in improving their ability to care for patients and themselves. Initiation of patient care training programs for caregivers would be helpful.
Comparative Long-chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Levels in Blood, Placenta and Cord Blood of Pregnant Women with or without Pre-eclampsia
Authors: Weili Zhang
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective:  Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) play an important role in the regulation of fat metabolism in the placenta and fetus. Changes in placental function in pre-eclampsia affect the transport of fatty acids and affect fetal nutrition. The aim of the study was to compare LCPUFA levels in blood, placenta and cord blood of pregnant women with or without pre-eclampsia.

Methods:  The blood, placenta and umbilical cord blood of pregnant women (n = 30 each) who were normotensive and with pre-eclampsia were collected. The levels of fatty acids in maternal blood, placenta and umbilical cord blood were determined by the quartz capillary gas chromatography technique.

Results:  The average age of normal pregnant women was 27.0±4.5 years and that of pre-eclampsia pregnant women was 30±4.0 years (P > 0.05). The levels of total fatty acids, arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were higher in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia than in normal women. The level of linoleic acid in cord blood and placenta was significantly higher in pre-eclampsia group than in the normal pregnant women while linoleic acid content in maternal blood being lower in pre-eclampsia group compared to the normal maternal group.

Conclusion:  The changes of LCPUFA in blood, placenta and umbilical blood of pre-eclampsia may be related to the changes of LCPUFA in placenta. These changes may be involved in the pathophysiological process of pre-eclampsia. Maternal supplement of LCPUFA, such as DHA, in early gestation may be helpful in improving morbidity associated with maternal eclampsia.

Authors: Leung Rebecca , Hefford Hayley , Chew Caitlin , Yuen Jamie
Published: November 2023

Background: The University of British Columbia (UBC) Pharmacists Clinic (the Clinic) is a pharmacist-led patient care clinic serving as a practice site for experiential education in a team-based primary care practice. Given the unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, pharmacy practice sites have transitioned some of their experiential education activities to a virtual format. Currently, there is limited literature on developing best teaching practices which are conducive to students’ success in a virtual environment.

Objective: To determine the factors that enable successful development of a virtual patient care practicum experience at a university clinic from the perspectives of student pharmacists and practice educators.

Methods: A qualitative research methodology was used to gain the perspectives of student pharmacists and practice educators. Separate focus group interviews were conducted using a semi-structured approach and consisted of questions aimed at gathering insight into participant perspectives on virtual practicums. The focus group sessions were audio recorded with participant consent and transcribed. A thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the data.

Results: Three pharmacist practice educators and three student pharmacists participated in their respective focus groups. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Six major themes emerged: (1) technology optimization, (2) patient care related activities, (3) student-practice educator relationship, (4) student skill development, (5) student support, and (6) in-person vs virtual practicum preferences. Proposed strategies to mitigate the limitations of virtual practicums included setting communication guidelines, arranging enriching learning opportunities, and having reliable internet connection.  

Conclusion: The participants in this study provided insight on factors to support successful development and delivery of a virtual patient care practicum. The results from this study can be applied to other health disciplines and their approach to virtual practicums during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Saneamiento deficiente en Colombia: retos y desafíos para la seguridad nacional
Authors: París-Bermúdez Juan Manuel , Miranda-Rojas José Rafael , Mejía-Guevara Dora Janeth , Castro-Majé Gina Rocío
Published: November 2023

Este capítulo pretende ahondar en el concepto saneamiento pobre o deficiente, en el marco de la seguridad humana y, en particular, la seguridad humana en materia de salud en el territorio colombiano, y planteará, desde la perspectiva de las Fuerzas Militares (FF. MM.), si la seguridad nacional podría verse afectada. Parece haber una contradicción conceptual entre la seguridad nacional (territorial) y la seguridad humana, términos que se están transformando en varios países, tanto en su definición como en su aplicación en parámetros de seguridad mundial. Es clave tener como referente que la seguridad huma-na se planteó por primera vez en un informe del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) de 1994; sin embargo, también cabe resaltar que ya se venía trabajan-do tiempo atrás en el ámbito de las Naciones Unidas, la misma carta de la ONU cuando registra como principio rector del sistema internacional la soberanía nacional como la defensa de los derechos humanos, donde las Naciones Unidas reconocen dos líneas de valores “absolutos” que el sistema internacional debe proteger: la soberanía nacional y los derechos humanos individuales.

Published: November 2023

Colombia es un país que ha estado enfrentando importantes retos relacionados con la delincuencia y la degradación ambiental. La delincuencia ha sido un problema persistente durante décadas. La degradación ambiental también es un problema importante; sobre todo, en lo relativo a la deforestación, la erosión del suelo y la contaminación. Gran parte de este tipo de degradación se debe a actividades ilegales como la minería ilegal, la tala de árboles y la producción de drogas ilícitas. Los grupos armados ilegales también han contribuido a tal situación. Se sabe que estos grupos utilizan los recursos naturales del país para financiar sus actividades, lo que provoca importantes daños ambientales. Este capítulo se centra identificar los impactos que las organizaciones multicrimen causan en el medio ambiente y la degradación de este que fomentan.
Falta de Estado de derecho y justicia deficiente en Colombia
Authors: Quimbaya-Sarmiento José Felix
Published: November 2023

Para la seguridad humana, un factor de vital importancia en la dimensión de la seguridad política es el Estado de derecho, pues garantiza los derechos fundamentales y las libertades individuales frente a la acción estatal. Este artículo se pregunta si hay una falta de Estado de derecho y una justicia deficiente, como factores críticos para la segu-ridad política, en Colombia. Para ello, se define el Estado de derecho y el Estado social de derecho, así como la justicia como una de sus garantías esenciales. Luego se evalúa la situación de la justicia en Colombia, medida en cantidad de oferta judicial, pero sobre todo en la eficiencia de la administración de justicia. Mediante análisis de diversos índices de evacuación de procesos por jurisdicción, especialidad y jueces, se encuentra que el factor de la lentitud determina la creciente congestión judicial actual y un problema de produc-tividad, mezclados con una creciente demanda de justicia.
Class Dynamics, a Declining ANC and the Failure of Policy Implementation
Authors: Stewart Peter
Published: November 2023

While conditions for the majority in South Africa have worsened and delivery has become more important politically, the ANC is increasingly unable to deliver and address national issues. At the same time, the state is failing to resource, manage, coordinate and skill its departments, institutions and programmes. While the imperative of improving the state is recognised, and issues of skill and leadership are flagged, this article focuses on two interrelated causes of implementation failure: an ANC that is the site of dire struggles for state power while manifesting endemic corruption and a dangerously anti-public vision; and racialised elite and subaltern class dynamics that often escape state mediation. The limits of government in its overarching economic policy are considered as a brief case. The article concludes that given the problems in these areas, particularly in the management of the capitalist economy and class contradictions, a restructuring of the political field and a renewal of popular public involvement are necessary for improved welfare and development in the future. There are also imperatives of civil service reform. However, these changes will have no chance of taking root unless firm steps towards a dynamic and inclusive economy are taken.

Authors: Jianshu Wang
Published: November 2023

The priority in the professional training of future vocalists and teachers of solo singing within the system of university education is the formation of professional competencies ensuring the success of concert performing, vocal and pedagogical activities. A significant part of the general and professional skills of a vocal student is formed while working on vocal compositions of different levels of complexity, different styles and genres. As practice shows, a significant percentage of graduates of higher art education institutions at the beginning of their vocal-performing and teaching careers experience difficulties in studying modern music and choosing appropriate forms, methods and means of its mastering. This problem encourages practitioners to thoroughly and comprehensively consider the methods of working on modern vocal compositions, which contribute to the effective preparation of students for further concert-performing and vocal-pedagogical activities. The article discusses the prospects for introducing the music of Chinese composers into the educational process and basic methods of working on them in the solo singing class.

Conscious Irish Fiction and the Repetitiveness of War: Transcultural Memories to Negotiate Peace in “Redemption Falls” and “TransAtlantic”
Authors: Ogliari Elena
Published: November 2023

Drawing on recent scholarship on transcultural memory and its role in peacebuilding, this paper explores the implications of entangling memories that belong to different pasts, places, and cultural groups in Joseph O’Connor’s Redemption Falls (2007) and Colum McCann’s TransAtlantic (2013). Both novels, written by authors interested in the notions of oppression and suppression of stories, are polyphonic texts that disrupt any single linear narrative by interweaving multiple storylines through constant movements across time and space. McCann’s focus shifts from the aftermath of WWI to the 1998 Belfast Agreement, while O’Connor’s novel deals with the American Civil War and Irish nationalism; both recount episodes of the Great Famine, the ensuing emigration, and the history of Abolitionism. Hence, painful memories of the Irish mingle with the mnemonic repertoires of those who suffered the abominations of slavery or internecine conflict in an attempt to give voice to the marginalised and highlight bonds between (apparently unrelated) groups of people. Moreover, this convergence of inherited memories binds the past with the present and the future, as the recollections have echoes of contemporary conflicts and global phenomena involving Ireland, whose role in them is implicitly interrogated. By fusing significant cultural memories across generations and spaces, these novels assert the ‘historical duty’ to remember to promote negotiation and mutual understanding between different cultural groups today. This paper, therefore, will first offer an overview of contemporary Irish fiction, characterised by an original world-facing, rather than nation-focused, outlook. Second, it will undertake the analysis of the selected novels to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the potential of literature to build sound knowledge of diverse human experiences and, as a consequence, promote peace.
