Intervention Effects of Fitness Qigong on Stroke Patients
Authors: Zhou Yingyi
Published: June 2024

A stroke is a kind of illness that damages brain tissue and is brought on by an abrupt rupture or blockage of a cerebral blood vessel, which stops the blood flow to the brain. Stroke has a high incidence in China and patients generally have a poor prognosis. There are two methods for the treatment of stroke, drugs, and rehabilitation intervention, but the price of stroke drugs is high, and it is easy to produce many adverse reactions; Rehabilitation interventions, on the other hand, require patients to travel to the hospital on a regular basis, and many patients often interrupt their treatment plans due to travel inconveniences. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a rehabilitation method with high economic benefit for stroke patients and can be carried out at home. Many studies have pointed out that Fitness Qigong is of great help to the cardiopulmonary, motor, and non-motor functions of stroke patients. Therefore, this paper discusses in detail the improvement mechanism of Fitness Qigong on stroke patients and proposes exercise prescription for them, hoping to provide a reference guide for stroke rehabilitation.
The Concept of Life and Death in the Poems of Dylan Thomas
Authors: Wu Xinyu
Published: June 2024

The English poet Dylan Thomas, regarded as a genius, is famous for his metaphorical imagery. His poems often discuss the three themes of life, death, and desire. In them, his views on life and death are contradictory yet mutually integrated. This paper explores the fantasy world of life and death constructed by Dylan Thomas by studying a series of symbolic images in his poems. It also aims to sort out the framework of the poet’s general view of life and death by combining the social background of the time and the poet’s religious background. The poet acknowledges the objective existence of death but does not merely produce fear. He believes that death cannot end everything. From a religious perspective, he believes that death must be followed by new life, which reduces the prestige of death to a certain extent. The poet even despises death. The opposition between life and death and the cycle of life and death are two parallel views in Dylan Thomas’s cognitive world. On top of life and death, another greater cosmic force runs life and death — ruthless nature itself. Death is the return from organic matter to inorganic matter, from consciousness to unconsciousness. In the face of this view, death is only a necessary way back to nature.

La potestad de autoorganización de los entes integrantes de la Administración local. Especial referencia a los municipios de gran población
Authors: Parejo Alfonso Luciano
Published: June 2024

Desde la triple constatación de que el poder de organización no concierne solo al derecho, ni es un fenómeno exclusivo de las estructuras de poder público, y se da en todo cuerpo social precisado de orden con vistas a determinados fines, es decir, en toda institución, en la que la organización es justamente esencial, se identifican las entidades de la Administración local como instituciones integrantes del poder público constituido a las que, por tanto, pertenece de suyo la potestad.Sobre esta base se desarrolla un análisis completo de la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional relativa a las características de la autoorganización, tanto en general, como de las instancias integrantes de la organización territorial del Estado, en particular de las dotadas de autonomía territorial, con especial atención a la local. Este análisis sirve de referencia y criterio para la interpretación y determinación del régimen legal básico actual de la autoorganización local, su ámbito legítimo y su contenido y alcance, no solo en cuanto a la organización directa propia de las entidades locales, sino también a la de los entes instrumentales por ellas creados y a las relaciones que traben con otras Administraciones, así como a los medios personales de que se sirven. El estudio compara el régimen común básico aplicable a todo municipio con el régimen especial para municipios de gran población, teniendo en cuenta que este último también incluye disposiciones singulares para las ciudades de Madrid y Barcelona.
De la capitalidad y el régimen especial de la villa de Madrid
Authors: Jiménez Vacas José Joaquín
Published: June 2024

Madrid es “singular” en cuanto que debe gobernar y prestar servicio público a una cifra de población desconocida para otras ciudades españolas. El “hecho diferencial” de Madrid, por consecuencia, excluye toda idea de “arbitrariedad” en la aprobación de un régimen municipal específico para la villa; primero, por su singularización constitucional y estatutaria como capital del Estado y de la Comunidad de Madrid; y segundo, de corte más sociológico, por su también singular gran población. Ello, para hacer frente a lo que Jordana de Pozas definió bajo título de “grandeza y servidumbre de las grandes capitales metropolitanas”.

Authors: Araguàs Galcerà Irene
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo tiene por objeto el análisis del procedimiento de elaboración y aprobación de las ordenanzas fiscales. Con este propósito, se analiza, primeramente, el concepto de ordenanza fiscal, para distinguirlo de otras normas que, con incidencia en los ingresos locales, no tienen esta consideración; cuestión que tiene importantes efectos procedimentales. En segundo lugar, se examina la normativa que rige el procedimiento de elaboración de las ordenanzas fiscales, haciendo un análisis de la reciente jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo sobre la (no) aplicación de la LPAC a la potestad normativa fiscal de los entes locales. En tercer término, y a la luz del marco normativo descrito, son objeto de estudio las distintas actuaciones y trámites que conducen a la aprobación o modificación de una ordenanza fiscal.
El impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles: oportunidades y problemas
Authors: Utande San Juan José María
Published: June 2024

El IBI juega un papel central en la financiación local y está llamado a ganar protagonismo, debido a las ventajas que presenta, en términos de eficiencia, estabilidad y gestión, absorbiendo incluso a otras figuras tributarias más distorsionantes. El principal reto al que se enfrenta es la valoración, para lo que sería aconsejable la paulatina sustitución del valor catastral por el valor de referencia, más próximo al mercado y con una actualización más ágil y flexible. Se discute si deben fomentarse normas de personalización del gravamen y extrafiscales, pues su excesiva proliferación puede mermar la eficiencia y sencillez del IBI. En todo caso deben someterse a una evaluación más estricta que la actual. En este tributo no se aprecia un fenómeno preocupante de competencia fiscal desleal, pero sí un importante efecto imitación de los tipos efectivos de los municipios vecinos.

Righteous Governance and i’ts Concept in Secular Thought
Authors: Al-Hilli Ahmed Abbas Nazer , Hadi Ali Abdulkadhim , Khudair Hussein Mohsen
Published: June 2024

The concept of righteous governance can be traced back to ancient Greek thought, specifically to philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, and others. This idea is not exclusive to Islamic religious texts; however, its emergence as a distinct theory in political literature can be attributed to Western theorists. It has been the subject of numerous studies aiming to find alternative systems that align with the requirements of society and the state. This exploration emerged due to the significant failures of despotic and ideological regimes. As a result, the idea of proposing "righteous governance" as a theory with clear characteristics began to gain traction, offering many positive aspects that could be implemented in reality.

Zachodnioniemiecka lewica wobec Solidarności (1980-1981)
Authors: Świder Małgorzata
Published: June 2024

W pierwszym okresie działalności Solidarności (lato 1980 – grudzień 1981) lewica zachodnioniemiecka reprezentowana przez Socjaldemokratyczną Partię Niemiec i Niemiecką Federację Związków Zawodowych zajęły niejednoznaczną pozycję wobec wydarzeń w Polsce. Natomiast mniejsze ugrupowania Nowej Lewicy, trockiści czy maoiści związani z lewicowymi działaczami związkowymi związanymi z DGB, a także lewe skrzydło SPD stosunkowo szybko nawiązały kontakty z Solidarnością i rozpoczęły akcję wsparcia dla polskich robotników. Ich zaangażowanie wynikało z oceny polskiego nowego ruchu jako głównej siły walczącej o prawa demokratyczne i poprawę sytuacji ekonomicznej robotników w ramach istniejącego systemu politycznego. Lewica nie postrzegała Solidarności, jako przejawu ataku na rządzącą partię. Postulowane reformy miały zostać wprowadzone nie przeciwko komunistycznej partii, ale we współpracy z nią. To z inicjatywy różnych organizacji lewicowych powstała „Solidarność z Solidarnością”, która organizowała szereg akcji na rzecz poparcia dla polskich robotników, a także zbierała finanse na zakup sprzętu poligraficznego.
„Siedem ksiąg” żywieckiego cechu krawieckiego z 1745 roku
Authors: Dusik Jarosław
Published: June 2024

Żywiec powstał na przełomie XIII i XIV wieku. Jako jedyny w okolicy ośrodek miejski posiadał dobrze rozwinięte rzemiosło cechowe. Jednym z najstarszych cechów żywieckich był cech krawców, który przez ponad 100 lat (1580-1699) tworzył wspólną formację z kuśnierzami. Po jej rozpadzie krawcy przystąpili do wzmacniania swego samodzielnego odtąd wizerunku. Niewątpliwym przejawem tych działań było sformułowanie ścisłych zasad awansów w ich cechu, zamieszczonych w formie tzw. „siedmiu ksiąg” w księdze cechu krawieckiego z 1745 roku. Te regulowały osiąganie aż siedmiu etapów kariery cechowej, tj. nauki rzemiosła, wyzwolenia z niej, wędrówki, zostawania bratem/mistrzem młodszym, średnim, starszym, wreszcie cechmistrzem. Jest więc owe „siedem ksiąg” przykładem kompleksowego opracowania przez cechowe prawodawstwo zagadnienia kariery cechowej, rzadko spotykanego w tej formie.
THE ANALYSIS STUDY OF INTERPREGNANCY WEIGHT CHANGE AND HYPERTENSION DURING PREGNANCY: A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Wijaya Vennylia
Published: June 2024

Background: The established correlation between high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and maternal and neonatal complications underscores the urgent need for comprehensive weight management strategies among expectant mother. The aim of this study is to investigate existing evidence on the relationship between interpregnancy weight change and hypertensive disorders during subsequent pregnancies based on literatures of the last 10 years.
Methods: The study adhered to PRISMA 2020 standards, examining English literature from 2014 to 2024. It excluded editorials, reviews from the same journal, and submissions without a DOI. PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar were utilized as literature sources.
Result: Initially retrieving 500 articles from online databases (PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink and Google Scholar) eight relevant papers were selected after three rounds of screening for full-text analysis. These papers were thoroughly examined to assess the effect of interpregnancy weight change on hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.
Conclusion: Interpregnancy weight gain is linked to a heightened risk of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. By addressing weight-related factors between pregnancies, healthcare providers can significantly improve maternal health outcomes in subsequent pregnancies.

Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to examine the wear of three different composite materials usable for vertical bite reconstruction under erosive/abrasive conditions and to compare them with the bovine dental hard tissues enamel and dentin in-vitro. The composite materials Filtek Supreme XTE, CeraSmart and Brilliant Crios and bovine enamel and dentin specimens were evenly allocated to five groups (n=10). Samples were firstly exposed to hydrochloric acid for 1 min, then stored for 30 min in artificial saliva. In the second step, the samples were brushed for 1 min with 100 brushing strokes each and an applied force of 2.5 N in an automated brushing device. After 60 of these erosive/abrasive cycles, wear of the samples was determined by contact profilometry. Filtek Supreme XTE showed significantly less wear (mean ± standard deviation; 0.15 ± 0.11 µm) compared to the other two composite materials (p < 0.05). No significant difference (p > 0.05) could be found between CeraSmart (0.25 ± 0.03 µm) and Brilliant Crios (0.24 ± 0.04 µm). The two bovine dental hard tissues, enamel (13.70 ± 0.94 µm) and dentin (50.08 ± 4.46 µm), each showed a significantly higher amount of wear than the three restorative materials (p <0.05). In conclusion, this study exhibited that the three composite materials, Filtek Supreme XTE, CeraSmart and Brilliant Crios, were more resistant under erosive/abrasive conditions compared to bovine enamel and bovine dentin, respectively.

Authors: Zappalà Graziano , Crnić Tin , Tominz Katarina , Ramseier Christoph A.
Published: June 2024

Tutor-supported comprehensive care training at the University of Bern School of Dental Medicine (SDM) has been used for many years. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate dental students’ opinions on tutor-supported training to identify key aspects of future course organisation that are important for students to achieve the minimum requirements for their graduation. A digital survey was developed and distributed among all fourth- and fifth-year dental students enrolled in the SDM in 2014 and 2016. A total of 28 (41.2%) and 21 (36.2%) students participated in the survey in 2014 and 2016, respectively. The average age of all respondents was 25.8 (±4.0) years. The proportion of females was 75% with no differences between groups, neither among classes nor years of the survey. The students felt well prepared following the bachelor’s degree pre-clinical programme and a two-week introduction immediately preceding the clinical course. During clinical training, the students’ experiences with their assigned tutors were positive even though waiting times for tutors during patient care as well as organisational efforts to manage attestations and logbooks were mentioned. For each discipline, patient assignment (rho=0.54, p<0.0001) and frequently meeting with their tutors (rho=0.56, p<0.0001) revealed the highest correlation with 1) achieving minimum requirements and 2) improving treatment planning skills in both fourth- and fifth-year dental students. In conclusion, tutor-supported comprehensive care training is well accepted by dental students while focusing on both patient assignment and frequent discussions with tutors may help students to better achieve minimum requirements in clinical dental education.
The use of protection measures in dento-maxillofacial radiology in Europe: a survey among experts
Authors: Rusch Fabienne M. , Bornstein Michael M. , Dagassan-Berndt Dorothea
Published: June 2024

Patient contact shielding to reduce radiation exposure to radiosensitive organs of patients is known to be used inconsistently in the field of dento-maxillofacial radiology (DMFR). There is an ongoing discussion if its use is still justified with regard to recent technical enhancements in the field. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the recommended and applied safety standards regarding dose protection measures in dental radiology within European countries. With an online questionnaire the use of safety measures, especially lead protection and collimation, in different patient groups (adults, children, pregnant women) was interrogated including leading experts in the field of DMFR. Among the 24 participants from 13 different countries, there was a tendency towards lead protection for intraoral radiography and towards collimation for extraoral radiography. Participants based their decision mainly on law and societal guidelines. Overall, the application of radiation protection measures varies within Europe. It seems safe to say that lead protection as a measure of radiation dose limitation is still recommendable even though collimation and technical advancements have led to great dose reductions. Collimation should be used more broadly and a standardization of protection measures and an update of radiation protection guidelines in Europe is desirable.

Authors: Schönegg Daphne , Suter Michèle , Kundert Danielle , Gander Thomas , Lanzer Martin
Published: June 2024

Patient-centered quality metrics have been proposed to evaluate and optimize hospital processes, aiming to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, they can be used to objectively rate and compare the ability of health care providers to meet the needs of their patients. In patients with advanced resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma, optimal surgical treatment of the neck and timely initiation of both surgical and adjuvant therapy, when indicated, are crucial for recurrence-free and overall survival.
This retrospective analysis included 160 patients who received primary resection of oral squamous cell carcinoma and concurrent neck dissection.It aimed to investigate how well quality metrics were met during a 6-year period in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at a university hospital. 93.1% of patients were seen in the specialist's office within 21 days after referral. Resection was classified as R0 in 94.4%. A lymph node yield >= 18 was achieved in 82.5%. The lymph node ratio was <= 6% in 43.3% of nodal-positive necks. Readmission and unplanned revision surgery were rare (6.9%). Adjuvant radiotherapy was started <= 6 weeks after surgery in 45.3%, and the indication was in accordance with international guidelines in all cases. Quality metrics are an effective tool for planning process optimization in a hospital. Moreover, nodal quality metrics such as lymph node yield and lymph node ratio could, after validation, complement existing and well-established prognostic parameters for patient-specific adaptation of adjuvant treatment plans.

Published: June 2024

Child labour is an agricultural issue. Globally 60 percent of the population ranging from the age of 5 to 17 belong to agriculture sector. Major cause behind child labour is poverty. The present research was conducted to examine socio-economic characteristics of respondents working in agriculture, and for discovering major causes of child labour engaged in agriculture sector. The data were collected from two Talukas (Chamber and Jhando Mari) of District Tando Allahyar, Sindh, Pakistan. Data were gathered through purposive sampling from 100 respondents (Child labour from 5-14 years) including their parents/guardians who were personally interviewed with the help of detailed questionnaire. The results showed that based on age group and educational level 77 % of the child labour were between the age group of 11–14 years and 80 % of the child labour were illiterate while 81% of their parents were illiterate. Child labour was engaged in different activities such as 79% of the children were engaged in cropping, 16 % were involved in livestock and 6% were engaged in fish farming. 24% of the child labour cited poverty as major reason behind their work. 52% of the children worked 7-10 hours. While examining socioeconomic characteristic of the parents of child labour we found that 63% possessed mud-built house and 68% were involved in labour as farmers. Keeping in view our findings it is suggested that government and NGOs should launch many types of programs related to the study such as opening evening school programs and centers in villages to promote education to create awareness where child labour is common. Government should also provide funds and opportunities of earning and employment for the young household family members and pass legislation to ban child labour in agriculture sector.
Literature Review on Economic Effects of the RCEP
Authors: Liu Shuning
Published: June 2024

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant fluctuations in the global economy and trade, leading to a pivotal moment in the global economic system. In this context, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has been officially established, showing positive effects on trade activities and economic progress among its member nations. This study systematically reviews the relevant literature on RCEP and draws the following conclusions: First, RCEP was formed against the backdrop of global economic and trade turbulence and holds significant implications for fostering economic and trade growth in the East Asian region, as well as advancing the process of Asian integration. Second, upon reviewing the literature on RCEP, it was observed that the majority of current literature concentrates on the national level, with less emphasis on the firm level. At the national level, the literature primarily focuses on trade exchange and international investment. Last, most of the literature concerning the impact areas of the RCEP concentrates on international trade and direct investment, while there is still significant potential for research on the mechanisms and potential negative consequences of indirect investment and international trade, as well as sustainable development in emerging research areas.

Published: June 2024

This study explores the integration of energy-efficient systems and technologies in hotel design strategies in Lagos, with a focus on assessing the cost implications. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research delves into three prominent hotels: The Lagos Continental Hotel, The Federal Palace Hotel Lagos, and Eko Hotels & Suites. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders, including hotel owners, managers, facility engineers, and sustainability experts, to gather in-depth insights into their experiences, perspectives, and decision-making processes regarding energy efficiency initiatives. The analysis employed cost-benefit analysis to quantify initial investment costs and anticipated operational savings, and comparative analysis to identify common themes, challenges, and success factors across different hotel contexts. Ethical considerations, such as informed consent and data protection, were meticulously addressed. The findings reveal that, while significant initial investments are required, energy-efficient initiatives lead to substantial operational cost savings, improved environmental performance, and enhanced guest satisfaction. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by demonstrating the viability and benefits of sustainable practices in the hospitality sector, offering practical recommendations for implementation, and highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement in achieving energy efficiency goals. Recommendations include prioritizing energy-efficient retrofits in older buildings, leveraging government incentives and subsidies to offset initial costs, continuously training staff on energy management practices, engaging guests through sustainability awareness programs, and regularly updating technologies to stay abreast of advancements in energy efficiency. This research underscores the economic and environmental advantages of integrating energy-efficient systems in hotel operations, providing a valuable reference for future projects in similar contexts.
Géneros, cuerpos y colonialidad en la Capoeira en Barcelona: “La mujer tiene que hacerlo mejor que el hombre para llegar al mismo sitio”
Authors: Schaufler María Laura , Ríos Evelyn
Published: June 2024

La Capoeira es una manifestación del deporte y la cultura popular afro brasilera en la cual se entrelazan movimientos de lucha y expresión corporal o danza, bajo una base rítmica musical. Formó parte de la lucha por la liberación y resistencia contra la mercantilización de los cuerpos racializados en el Brasil colonial y en la actualidad es promovida como una práctica símbolo de libertad corporal. No obstante, la habitan discursos y prácticas que reproducen lógicas opresoras y patriarcales, así como un modelo hegemónico de la educación física y el deporte: elitista, sexista, racista y clasista. En este artículo buscamos reflexionar acerca de las posibilidades y límites para transformar los discursos y prácticas circulantes en torno a los géneros y corporeidades.Para este estudio seleccionamos la práctica de la Capoeira en la región de Barcelona, del cual participaron 38 personas: 34 practicantes fueron entrevistadas a partir de un cuestionario cualitativo y cuatro docentes fueron entrevistados en profundidad. La recolección de información se llevó a cabo durante dos meses en eventos y clases en Barcelona (junio-julio de 2022) a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación participante.Entre las temáticas emergentes encontramos cuestionamientos acerca del: a) binarismo de género; b) discriminaciones en torno a los cuerpos; c) roles y funciones en los grupos discriminados por género; d) acoso; e) violencia territorial. La práctica de la Capoeira perpetúa diariamente normas machistas. Entre los resultados del trabajo de campo puede arriesgarse una primera interpretación relativa a los géneros en la Capoeira: conquistar la igualdad no implica adecuarse a parámetros masculinistas, tanto en nivel de gestión y docencia, como de juego y la práctica cotidiana. Pero, además, es preciso desafiar tanto el mito de la virilidad, así como el androcentrismo europeo que alega que las prácticas machistas provienen exclusivamente de los docentes brasileros.Identificador permanente (ARK): http://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/1ruhoetg1

It examines the difficulties faced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in approving pesticides under FIFRA in compliance with the ESA and discusses the differing definitions and approaches to risk between the two regulatory frameworks. The paper aims to propose solutions for better integration of the two acts to improve their functionality and effectiveness in achieving their respective goals.

In Defense of Rothbardian Welfare Economics
Authors: Herbener Jeffrey M.
Published: June 2024

Murray Rothbard offered a twofold defense of the unhampered market economy. He argued that it upholds natural rights and promotes the life and flourishing of persons more fully than any other social system. His welfare economics was not a defense of the unhampered market economy, but a critique of mainstream economists’ use of welfare economics to promote state intervention. He argued that mainstream economists accept the subjectivity of value by adhering to the Pareto rule in welfare economics. In doing so, however, they must embrace all the implications of the subjectivity of value and not just the impossibility of interpersonal utility comparisons. They must accept also the principle of demonstrated preference. Recasting welfare economics along the lines of demonstrated preference reorients it away from artificial models of the economy based on fictitious economic agents toward the real economy of actual human persons. Rothbard’s demonstration that laissez-faire renders the greatest social welfare in the real economy is shown to be valid.
