Developing vocational identity – a key premise in orienting students to the future
Authors:   ", Adascalitei Cristian ,   Ion Creanga",   State Pedagogical University
Published: April 2021

The article aims to highlight the role of vocational counseling / education in preventing difficulties in school adaptation and in developing vocational identity. Counseling is an approach that has been shaped since the beginning of the last century, although the initial approach had slightly different connotations from the current ones. In the set of theories and models developed by recent researchers in the field of vocational and career identity Luyckx, Lent, Brown and other authors introduce the Student Career Construction Inventory (2018) to explain the processes involved in vocational and career development. The present study represents a theoretical analysis of the dimensions identified by the mentioned authors, in order to offer readers an integrative perspective on a useful working tool for researchers, psychologists, teachers, considering that the future orientation of the students is a goal of each one of them.
Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Cultural Exposure Through Mobility Programs
Authors: Pasztor Judit
Published: April 2021

As a result of globalisation, a significant proportion of companies operate across borders and in many cases, work communities are also organised from workers with diverse cultural backgrounds. Due to the intensive flow of services, goods and labour, and cultural differences, conflicts can arise, and these tensions can negatively affect people and organisations' well-being and performance. Nowadays, cultural knowledge and intercultural competencies are more appreciated and highly requested by most employers.The younger generations (Generation Z and Millennials) were born into cultural diversity and have broad mobility possibilities to deepen their intercultural competencies, but the older generations in Hungary had more limited mobility opportunities. Cultural intelligence (CQ), which is the ability to adapt to different intercultural interactions effectively, can be developed effortlessly by spending extended periods abroad. High CQ results in better interpersonal relationships and work performance in culturally diverse environments. Cultural intelligence is a widely researched field within the managerial studies, but most studies focus on international students, young business students and sojourners. Thus, our primary goal was to explore not just the adolescents and young professionals, but the middle-aged and seniors as well.This quantitative study aimed to explore Hungarian generations' cultural intelligence and find possible connections between cultural intelligence and overseas exposure/mobility program participation. To answer our research questions, we analysed the total and dimensional CQ scores of 329 Hungarian respondents and compared the results based on participation in different mobility programs, length and frequency of cultural exposure.
Preparing Pre-service Teachers for 21st Century Skills Education
Authors: Alahmad Abdalhamid , Stamenkovska Tatjana , Gyori János
Published: April 2021

This study examines the efficiency of a model aimed at teaching 21st century skills to preservice teachers at Damascus university. Two fundamental aspects were explored, firstly, promoting the teaching of 21st century skills; and, secondly, incorporating 21st century skills in the educators’ pedagogical training. Quantitative data was collected from 106 student teachers, and 34 teacher educators through two survey questionnaires. Results from the teacher educator’s survey data showed that the model to promote all 21st century skills in student teachers was efficient. The student teachers felt that the pedagogical training of this model was efficient in terms of promoting cognitive skills, but only average when considering information literacy and problem-solving skills and performed poorly in fostering communication skills. Thus, even though the model is efficient in promoting 21st century skills for future teachers, it lacks a training framework that places equal emphasis on applying the skills during teacher training.

Authors:   ,   Universidade Federal de Campina Grande / Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Semiárido, Costa Mauro Vaz da
Published: April 2021

Ao considerar a água como bem limitado, essencial a existência e desenvolvimento da humanidade, torna-se indispensável consolidar uma nova ordem mundial, visando mitigar a relação desfavorável entre a velocidade de ciclagem da água e o crescimento da sua demanda. A presente pesquisa avaliou a prática do reúso agrícola enquanto estratégia de desenvolvimento ao Semiárido brasileiro, por meio de uma análise regionalizada, metodologicamente exploratória, a partir da coleta de informações de fontes secundárias, e testada sobre dois cenários distintos: o Cenário Vigente - considerado apenas a vazão do esgoto doméstico atualmente coletado e tratado e o Cenário Otimizado - considerando a coleta e tratamento, integral, da vazão de esgoto doméstico gerado nos municípios do Semiárido. Com uma disponibilidade de 5.624,90(l/s) de esgoto tratado no Cenário Vigente e 13.977,20(l/s) no Cenário Otimizado, os textos deixaram claro a viabilidade técnica e econômica de implementação de 320 Núcleos de Desenvolvimento de Agricultura Periurbana – NDAP’s, distribuídos no entorno das Estações de tratamento de Esgotos – ETE’s, possibilitando a implementação de 27.420,66 e 65.110,56 hectares de área irrigável, nos respectivos cenários. Sobre o aspecto econômico, a implementação do reúso agrícola perfaz nos cenários vigente e otimizado, uma valoração anual variando de R$ 90,000,00 a R$ 125.000,00 por hectare de área irrigada, sendo a valoração da renda local (VRL) e a valoração do tratamento de água (VTA), as variáveis mais significativas no cálculo da valoração do reúso agrícola. Assim, esta prática tem capacidade de alavancar a geração anual de até 200 mil empregos (diretos e indiretos), injetando cerca de R$ 2,5 bilhões na renda familiar local e movimentando uma cadeia produtiva valorada em R$ 8,08 bilhões, cujo impacto economicamente forte e socialmente relevante, o credencia enquanto estratégia válida, de desenvolvimento do Semiárido Brasileiro. Consoante com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), a presente pesquisa tange as metas de garantir disponibilidade e manejo sustentável da água e saneamento para todos e assegurar padrões de produção e de consumo sustentáveis.
Impact of project management certification on project performance
Authors: Aslam Ahmed , Bilal Atif
Published: April 2021

In general, certified project management professionals are perceived to enhance project performance. However, this narrative has quite often been challenged in previous literature. We investigate this controversy by including professionalism and psychological capital as intervening variables. The research is based on an empirical survey of certified project managers in the region of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. 373 data samples were collected and further analyzed on the basis of critical success factor theory. The impact of project management certification along with intervening variables were hypothesized and validated to have direct and indirect relationships with project performance. Responses from certified project management professionals in the region of Rawalpindi/Islamabad support the perception but reflect that professionalism plays a supporting role between certification and performance. However, the study dismisses the role of psychological capital between professionalism and performance. We conclude that project management institutes and associations should ensure professionalism in the certification process to actually enhance project performance. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge in predicting improved project management performance by employing certified project managers with strong professional skills. Consequently, the research will help professional institutes to review the conformity of the required professional skills rather than just focusing on just passing an exam.
Deriving preverbal position in a verb-final language: the case of Hittite
Authors: Lyutikova Ekaterina , Sideltsev Andrei V.
Published: April 2021

The paper presents an analysis of clause structure in Hittite, a coherently head-final language with SOV word order and an elaborated preverbal position hosting various functional elements of the clause. We argue that the best approach to capturing these phenomena is to assume a universally right-branching structure coupled with phrasal movement driven by selectional feature checking under adjacency of relevant heads.
Children’s subjects in Clitic Left Dislocations in Italian
Authors: Manetti Claudia , Belletti Adriana
Published: April 2021

The study examined the production of subjects by Italian-speaking children in different pragmatic contexts which elicited the use of Clitic Left Dislocations (ClLD), pronoun structures and passives. The analysis takes into account the data from Belletti & Manetti (2019) and focuses on the use of lexical and null subjects on the basis of the discourse conditions provided in two elicited production experiments. The results showed that children are adult-like in their use of lexical and pronominal null subjects in different structures. Experiment 1 specifically confirms this ability as children mainly used overt lexical subjects in order to be completely informative about which character performed a given action on the object topic patient. In Experiment 2, however, children displayed a different choice in subject selection, overwhelmingly preferring null plural subjects with a generic interpretation in their ClLDs, resulting in Obj-pro.PL-Cl V sentences. Under the featural Relativized Minimality principle, we suggest that this choice, which led to overall felicitous answers, was preferred since it made the subject in their ClLDs somewhat lighter and created a feature disjunction configuration which is fully mastered by children. Overall, this study investigated how monolingual children deal with the use of different types of subjects in a production study and could provide a baseline measure to extend the analysis to bilingual or L2 production of overt lexical vs. null pronominal subjects in the specific context of ClLDs.
Um olhar (enunciativo) para o conceito de língua no trabalho de sala de aula
Authors: Toldo Claudia , Schmitt Prym Martins Gabriela
Published: April 2021

Este artigo objetiva discutir o conceito de língua no Curso de linguística geral, Ferdinand de Saussure (2012), e nos textos “A forma e o sentido na linguagem” e “Semiologia da língua”, de Émile Benveniste (1989). Esta escolha teórica se justifica pela necessidade de conceituar língua, buscando uma reflexão sobre seu ensino na escola de educação básica. A partir dessas leituras, percebemos que a relação entre os autores sobre o conceito de língua ocorre, principalmente, através da noção de signo, organizados em um sistema. Neste artigo, ao refletirmos sobre a relação entre os autores, percebemos que uma aproximação teoria é possível se tomarmos a língua em uso, com os signos manifestados na coletividade, o que, inegavelmente, é relevante ao pensarmos o ensino de língua na escola de educação básica. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, em que percebemos que, uma noção enunciativa de língua é uma das possibilidades de trabalho efetivo com a língua materna na escola.

Published: April 2021

Esta pesquisa visa a analisar vinhetas produzidas no estágio supervisionado de uma turma de terceiro ano de Letras Inglês, nas quais um aluno-professor registrou suas experiências vivenciadas durante a planificação de uma Sequência Didática (SD). A ancoragem teórica provém do interacionismo sociodiscursivo e de sua proposta de transposição didática de gêneros e da pesquisa narrativa. A geração de dados foi realizada entre os meses de abril a junho de 2019, mediante o registro e seleção de vinhetas sobre produção de SDs. Consideramos os aspectos contextuais, segmentos temáticos, vozes e modalizações. Os resultados apontam que as atividades de estágio de modo geral e o trabalho de reflexividade por meio de vinhetas narrativas oportunizaram um trabalho mais específico considerando os saberes da planificação das aulas.
Os novos sujeitos da hipermodernidade e suas novas formas de comunicação
Authors: Silveira Mariane Rocha , Sturm Luciane , Ribeiro Elaine
Published: April 2021

Nosso objetivo é discutir e evidenciar as potencialidades dos multiletramentos para o ensino de língua espanhola (LE). Partimos do pressuposto de que não é possível ensinar um idioma  isoladamente de seus valores sociais, culturais, políticos e ideológicos. Há objetivos que vão além do foco puramente linguístico, portanto, o novo idioma deve favorecer a interação, sob o viés intercultural, na diversidade, por meio das múltiplas linguagens que circundam nossa sociedade. Considerando o contexto de hipermodernidade e o perfil ubíquo do novo leitor, o ensino de LE necessita alinhar-se a perspectivas teóricas contemporâneas, a fim de prover uma aprendizagem significativa. Deve, portanto, contribuir com a formação de indivíduos com capacidade crítica e consciência social, criativos e conscientes da diversidade que constitui nosso mundo, local e globalmente.  Diante disso, ilustramos nossa discussão por meio do Projeto ¡Viva Frida!, buscando contribuir com práticas de leitura e de escrita inovadoras e atrativas ao jovem aprendiz.
Holograms in nursing education: Results of an exploratory study
Authors: Ditzel Liz , Collins Emma
Published: April 2021

Objective: The purpose of this exploratory and descriptive study was to evaluate the student experience of using the Microsoft HoloLens® headsets and the HoloPatient application (app) to perform a nursing assessment of Jerry, a life-sized hologram of a young man admitted to Emergency Department following a mountain bike accident.Methods: Setting: The research was conducted in 2019 in a New Zealand School of Nursing. Participants were undergraduate (pre-licensure) students (N = 121) enrolled in a 3-year Bachelor of Nursing degree programme. The study was conducted before students went on their first hospital-based clinical placement. Methods: The researchers designed a tutorial that guided students through the first five steps of the clinical reasoning cycle (i.e., look, collect, process, decide, plan) and collect cues and information about Jerry’s condition which worsens as he develops anaphylactic shock. Tutorials were conducted during the week immediately preceding the first clinical placement to assist students to develop clinical reasoning and nursing assessment skills.Results: Data were collected via a post-activity pen and paper survey. Quantitative data showed that this technology enhanced learning. Thematic analysis identified 17 advantages of using holograms, including realism, a reduced level of self-consciousness, and better preparation for clinical practice. Disadvantages mostly related to technical projection issues such as blurry image quality.Conclusions: These findings indicate that spending time carefully observing, and processing information provided via a hologram assisted novice nurses to develop clinical reasoning skills, thereby increasing readiness for the clinical setting.

Governing capacity in the Dutch Energy Transition: Making measurable what is considered as a fuzzy concept

Municipalities play an important role in the Dutch energy transition. Therefore, they are expected to deal both sufficiently and timely with their tasks. The question is whether they have the capacity to do so (governing capacity). This study aims to assess whether improving governing capacity can be used to improve the policy performance. We operationalized governing capacity and built a model to assess the relation between several conditions for governing capacity and policy performance for three domains of the energy transition: built environment, mobility and renewables. We found no direct relationship between perceived governing capacity and energy transition policy output. However, we found relationships between conditions for governing capacity, and the policy output. About 25 percent of the total variance in policy performance could be attributed to population size. This percentage levels up to 55 to 60 percent if the motivation of the local administration, cooperation between municipalities and other governmental organisations and the participation of citizens and businesses are also taken into account. This contradicts the idea that enlarging municipalities is the most important way to achieve a higher policy performance.

Caribisch Nederland – gelijkwaardig maar niet altijd gelijkvormig

De eerste 10 jaar voor Saba, Sint Eustatius en Bonaire als bijzondere gemeenten direct onder Europees Nederland waren heel bijzonder. We zijn gegaan van een periode van legislatieve terughoudendheid naar comply or explain. In deze bijdrage blikken we terug naar dat moment van de ontmanteling van het land de Nederlandse Antillen, de beslissingen die toen zijn genomen, het beleid daarna over legislatieve terughoudendheid en het beleid met betrekking tot wet- en regelgeving voor de aankomende periode: comply or explain. Daarnaast wordt in deze bijdrage stilgestaan bij een selectie van een aantal bijzondere nieuwe wetten voor Caribisch Nederland, zoals de wet openbare lichamen BES en of de rol van de rijksvertegenwoordiger nog wel past in de huidige bestuurlijke verhoudingen, de wet financien BES en of de verdeelsystematiek van het BES fonds wel passend is bij de bijzondere eigenheid van elk eiland, en de tijdelijke wet taakverwaarlozing Sint Eustatius en de recente tijdelijke wet maatregelen Covid-19. Tot slot is een selectie van toonaangevende uitspraken voor de BES gemaakt die kort besproken worden.

Kroniek van het bestuursrecht

Bij de opheffing van het land de Nederlandse Antillen op 10 oktober 2010 (10-10-’10) is de bestuursrechtelijke regelgeving grotendeels ongewijzigd overgenomen door de nieuwe landen Curaçao en Sint Maarten. Aruba had al sinds zijn status aparte in 1986 zijn eigen bestuursrechtelijke regelgeving en wetten. Voor Caribisch Nederland (de BES-eilanden) bleef ook grotendeels de oude Nederlands-Antilliaanse wetgeving van kracht. Dat maakt dat de regelgeving van alle Caribische landen en eilanden van het Koninkrijk in het algemeen sterk verouderd is. De bestuursrechtelijke jurisprudentie in de West volgt in het algemeen die in Nederland. Er zijn in het afgelopen decennium geen baanbrekende uitspraken gedaan.

Published: April 2021

O estudo realizado tem como objetivo identificar como as Fintechs se caracterizam como oportunidades e ameaças para as grandes instituições financeiras no Brasil. A fim de compreender e analisar os aspectos relacionados às Fintechs, a pesquisa aborda tópicos alinhados ao tema, como o contexto atual da economia, o Sistema Financeiro Nacional e o cenário de startups no Brasil. Este estudo possui caráter descritivo e qualitativo, no qual os dados foram coletados a partir da realização de entrevistas com os responsáveis por instituições financeiras. A pesquisa permitiu identificar que há a aceitação por parte das grandes instituições para aplicação desse modelo de Fintechs. Observou-se também que há uma necessidade de regulamentação do setor para que o mesmo possa crescer com mais liberdade e assim podendo acrescentar ao país essa riqueza tecnológica, porém, analisa a necessidade de ser menos burocrático como as instituições financeiras atuantes no mercado. O estudo apresentou como limitações a apresentação de poucos casos, em que não foi possível entrevistar mais gerentes em outras empresas que estão envolvidas de alguma forma com as inovações da organização. A partir desta situação, sugere-se que outros estudos sejam realizados para cobrir outros pontos interessantes que digam respeito ao modelo de negócio Fintechs. O estudo permitiu compreender como as grandes empresas já estabelecidas no mercado financeiro identificam as Fintechs e seus modelos de negócios. A identificação de oportunidades e de ameaças e como se dá esse entendimento permitindo que as Fintechs se preparem para um mercado competitivo e que grandes empresas entendam como este modelo pode ser caracterizado como aliado. Em relação à originalidade, vários estudos foram desenvolvidos no âmbito do mercado financeiro. No entanto, ao pesquisar em bases de dados científicas, o assunto sobre Fintechs é pouco explorado assim como a percepção de seu modelo de negócios por outros players do setor.

Diante dos modos de viver contemporâneos, nos quais o tempo é considerado um bem cada vez mais escasso, difícil de entender e de administrar, a maneira com a qual as pessoas lidam com o seu tempo e as suas demandas pessoais e profissionais pode trazer reflexos para o contexto organizacional e para o indivíduo. No caso dos jovens trabalhadores, público marcado por idiossincrasias e dificuldades no mundo laboral, as preferências e estratégias para lidar com o tempo em suas atividades podem impactar o seu desempenho e o desempenho da organização onde se inserem. Dado isto, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar e comparar como se configuram as percepções temporais de jovens trabalhadores assistidos pelo ESPRO das cidades de São Paulo (SP) e Curitiba (PR). Realizou-se um estudo de caso com pesquisa de campo, quantitativa e descritiva. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de questionários e eles foram tratados a partir de análise estatística descritiva uni e bivariada. Percebeu-se certa consonância entre os achados de São Paulo (SP) e de Curitiba (PR) no que diz respeito a velocidade, pontualidade e arrastamento. Por outro lado, há discrepâncias consideráveis quanto à policronicidade e à profundidade temporal dos jovens, mostrando que o tempo é percebido e vivenciado de modo diferente pelos grupos abordados.

Authors: Hussain Sait Hani
Published: April 2021

Cold thermal storage can be used to manage peak load when the energy demand is exceeding the capacities of the electric companies. Latent heat thermal storage is more effective because it requires less spacing and has higher thermal capacity than other types. Solidification and melting are taking place in CTS and need more investigation for better performance. Phase change materials properties vary and need more investigation to select the most suitable for a certain application. The analytical equations are needed for design of CTS and get the maximum efficiency out of it. Cost effectiveness is also described.

Published: April 2021

In this chapter, the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the interaction of an electromagnetic field with a plasma (fundamental interaction of the wave-particle type) both in the regime of standing waves (in the case of a resonator) and in the case of traveling waves in a waveguide are presented. The results of computer modeling the distribution of a regular electromagnetic field for various designs of electrodynamic structures are considered. The most attractive designs of electrodynamic structures for practical application are determined. A brief review and analysis of some mechanisms of stochastic plasma heating are given as well as the conditions for the formation of dynamic chaos in such structures are determined. Comparison analysis of microwave plasma heating in a regular electromagnetic field (in a regime with dynamical chaos) with plasma heating by random fields is considered. It is shown, that stochastic heating of plasma is much more efficient in comparison with other mechanisms of plasma heating (including fundamental interaction of the wave-wave type). The results obtained in this work can be used to increase the efficiency of plasma heating as well as to develop promising new sources of electromagnetic radiation in the microwave and optical ranges.

Published: April 2021

The global SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has been accompanied with severe socio-economic and health burdens that will ripple through history. It is now known that SARS-CoV-2 induces a cytokine storm that leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic organ damage. With no definitive nor safe therapy for COVID-19 as well as the rise of viral variants the need for an urgent treatment modality is paramount. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) have long been praised for their anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative capabilities. MSCs and their EVs are now being studied for their possible use as a treatment modality for COVID-19. In this review we explore their capabilities and outline the evidence of their use in ALI, ARDS and COVID-19.

Background: Dermoscopy aids in skin cancer identification. For family physicians who use dermoscopy, there is higher sensitivity for melanoma detection than naked-eye examination. There is a shortage of dermoscopy training for primary care providers. The Triage Amalgamated Dermoscopic Algorithm (TADA) is designed for novice dermoscopists. While TADA can be taught in a short dermoscopy workshop, spaced review and blended learning strategies improve knowledge retention.

Objectives: This study determined the impact that the addition of a distance learning platform has on clinical dermoscopy use. Moreover, it evaluated dermoscopic image identification (knowledge retention) following the addition of distance learning via Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) to a traditional TADA dermoscopy workshop.

Methods: Primary care providers voluntarily attended a 120-minute TADA dermoscopy workshop. Participants completed pre-intervention, post-TADA, and post-ECHO tests of 30 dermoscopic images of benign and malignant skin lesions. A survey was also administered to analyze clinical dermoscopy use and prior dermoscopy training.

Results: Twenty-seven residents, faculty, and advanced practice providers participated in this longitudinal observational cohort study. Mean test scores (out of 30) for images of benign and malignant lesions improved from 20.29 pre-intervention to 24.62 post-TADA and 27.63 post-ECHO (P < .001). On average, participants attended 4 ECHO sessions (out of 7 total) and there was a positive correlation (r = 0.77) between the number of ECHOs attended and post-ECHO scores. Dermoscope use increased from 37.0% to 96.3% (P < .001).

Conclusion: Distance learning and spaced review complement dermoscopy workshop training for primary care.
Drug Intake and Actinic Keratosis: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Sechi Andrea , Di Altobrando Ambra , Cerciello Eugenio , Maietti Elisa , Patrizi Annalisa , Savoia Francesco
Published: April 2021

Background: Actinic keratosis (AK) is a form of premalignant keratinocyte dysplasia. Recently, the role of photosensitizing drugs in the development of AK has been postulated.

Objective: This study evaluated a possible association between the use of photosensitizing drugs and the development of AK.  A secondary aim was to identify a possible association between any medication other than those primarily examined and AK.

Methods: A single-center, case-control study assessed the cumulative drug exposure of 90 patients with AK and 90 controls visiting a dermatology service for other skin ailments. Before the visit, patients were interviewed to collect data on daily therapy and the lag-time of discontinued drugs within the last 2 years, and to record the drug’s active ingredient, dosage, and duration of therapy. In addition, sociodemographic characteristics including age, sex, educational level, skin phototype, and cumulative sun exposure habits were gathered.

Results: By logistic regression, exposures to angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and antiplatelet agents were identified as independent risk factors for the development of AK. ARB intake was associated with AK only at high exposure (OR = 13.6; 95% CI, 2.0-93.8). The use of antiplatelet drugs was borderline, yet not significant, at low exposure (OR = 3.31; 95% CI, 0.86-12.7), but increased in a dose-dependent manner. The strongest correlation was found at the highest cumulative dose (>1100 dose unit-years (OR = 4.38; 95% CI, 1.16-16.6).

Conclusions: High exposure to ARBs and antiplatelet agents may promote AK carcinogenesis in at-risk patients.
The Use of Preferred Gender Pronouns
Authors: Witt Alexander T. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: April 2021

Some Catholic institutions have adopted policies of using persons’ preferred gender pronouns. But is this the best response? The use of preferred gender pronouns would constitute formal cooperation in a falsehood about a person because the body is an integral part of the revelation of who the person is both to himself or herself and to the other. Similarly, the principles of toleration and totality do not justify preferred pronoun usage. Pastoral care of transgender persons ought to seek to balance truth and respect of the human person in order to facilitate real friendship which leads to true healing.
Violence and Heterogeneity
Authors: Igrek Apple Zefelius ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

This article begins with a response to Habermas’ critique of Bataille. Habermas argues that the realm of heterogeneity/transgression is only opened up in moments of shock which overwhelm the subject. The rational categories of thought which maintain a useful relationship with the outside (i.e., with anything construed as unfamiliar) are fragmented in the excess and horror of Bataille’s communication. Hence it is impossible to bring together under one theoretical umbrella the antitheses of subjectivity and its excluded other: by definition the other ought to be marginalized in its very objectification by the subject, normativity, rationality, etc. My response is that the two opposed terms/antitheses are indeed opposed, but they are not therefore abstract opposites. That is to say, the subject is always already an equivocation of terms, a kind of sacrilege which cannot be assimilated to an ideal completion. The law is itself a transgression.
“God is dreaming you”
Authors: Bradatan Costica ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

The starting point of my essay is a paradoxical claim that the Spanish philosopher, poet and novelist Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) makes—in his essay “Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho” (1905)—that Don Quixote, Cervantes’ character, is more real and authentic than Miguel de Cervantes himself. Then, after discussing this claim and analyzing the implications of an ingenious literary device that Unamuno employed in his fiction “Niebla” (1914), I will sketch some of the possible philosophical consequences that Unamuno’s literary concepts might have on understanding the ultimate identity of the self, and of the nature of human condition in general. The paper is in three parts: 1) the first part is dedicated to discussing the above mentioned paradoxical claim in “Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho”; 2) the second part deals mainly with Chapter XXXI of Unamuno’s “Niebla”; and 3) in the final part I will deal with Unamuno’s insight that the relationship between the self and God is, properly speaking, of the same nature as the relationship between a literary author and the fictional beings he creates. In addition, I will be trying to place Unamuno’s insight within a broader context of history of ideas, and to point to some of its far-reaching philosophical implications.
Late Paleogene herpetofaunas from the crossroads between two continents – new amphibian and reptile remains from the Oligocene of southern Balkans and Anatolia
Authors: GEORGALIS Georgios L. , ČERŇANSKÝ Andrej , Serdar MAYDA undefined
Published: April 2021

We describe here new amphibian and reptile remains from three Oligocene localities of Turkey. Two of the localities (Kavakdere and Kocayarma) are situated in southeastern Europe and the other one (Kargi 2) in Anatolia, both areas where Oligocene herpetofauna is practically almost unknown. The material consists of albanerpetontids, pelobatid anurans, turtles, crocodylians, lacertids, scinciformatans, anguines, and “tropidophiids”. Albanerpetontids are for the first time identified in southeastern Europe, with the material being reminiscent of the younger species Albanerpeton inexpectatum Estes & Hoffstetter, 1976; the material potentially represents the oldest record of that species. Pelobatids, scinciformatans, and “tropidophiids” represent the oldest occurrences of these clades in the northeastern Mediterranean. The anguine genus Ophisaurus Daudin, 1803 is identified for the first time in the Paleogene of Eastern Europe. The “tropidophiids” are referred to two genera, Falseryx Szyndlar & Rage, 2003 and tentatively also to Platyspondylia Rage, 1974, with the latter having been so far exclusively known from western and central Europe. The role of a potential southern dispersal route of taxa among Asia and Europe, involving the area of southern Balkans and Anatolia, similarly to what has been recently demonstrated for mammals, is highlighted also for amphibians and reptiles.
Même sort, même souffle
Authors: Lavoie Jean-Jacques

Cet article interroge la philosophie de la mort de Qohélet. Pour ce philosophe juif de la Bible hébraïque, la mort déshumanise dans tous les sens du terme : littéralement, parce qu’elle détruit les composantes de l’existence, et symboliquement, parce qu’elle ne fait aucune différence entre les êtres humains et les autres formes de vie. La mort est la grande niveleuse de l’humanité.
Une tombe pas ordinaire

Cet article tente de répondre brièvement à des questions comme : pourquoi recueillir des données sur les décès ? que faut-il entendre par espérance de vie ? où le Québec se situe-t-il en matière de mortalité ? qu’en est-il de l’inégalité devant la mort, entre autres de la différence entre hommes et femmes ? quelles sont les principales causes de décès ? quel impact ces causes ont-elles sur l’espérance de vie ? quelles sont les perspectives d’avenir ?
La pratique du barebacking et le VIH/sida
Authors: Brusselaers Godelieve , Saint-Arnaud Jocelyne
Published: April 2021

La pratique du barebacking est apparue dans les milieux gais américains vers 1995. Au départ, elle était le fait d’homosexuels séropositifs et séronégatifs qui, par le biais d’Internet, organisaient des rencontres dont le but était la recherche de rapports sexuels sans protection. Un témoignage illustre tout le drame humain sous-jacent à la recherche de partenaires sexuels qui acceptent volontairement de risquer leur santé, sinon leur vie. Ce phénomène tirerait son origine d’un mouvement de protestation contre les effets discriminatoires qu’ont eus les interventions préventives de la santé publique sur le groupe cible. Différentes solutions sont présentées. Les solutions coercitives sont rejetées au profit d’une approche humaniste individualisée.
Douleur et anthropologie
Authors: Le Breton David
Published: April 2021

Il n’y a pas de douleurs sans souffrance. La douleur brise l’existence à proportion de la souffrance qu’elle induit chez le sujet. Différents facteurs influent sur ce ressenti : l’appartenance sociale, culturelle, les circonstances qui la produisent, le récit qu’en fait le sujet, etc. Ce texte suggère un certain nombre de champs de recherche dont il esquisse les données.
La souffrance psychique des infirmières
Authors: Alderson Marie
Published: April 2021

Les résultats de l’étude d’Alderson (2001) indiquent que la psychodynamique du travail est une approche pertinente pour mieux comprendre la souffrance liée à l’expérience humaine du travail infirmier et investiguer le champ de la santé mentale des infirmières au travail. Au stade actuel de développement de la psychodynamique du travail, les chercheurs et théoriciens la proposent comme une approche interdisciplinaire en recherche dans le champ de la santé mentale au travail. Ainsi c’est en ces termes que l’article y référera. L’article résume d’abord l’étude d’Alderson (2001), présente ensuite l’approche de la psychodynamique du travail et discute finalement de la pertinence de cette dernière pour le développement des connaissances en sciences infirmières dans le domaine de la santé (mentale) au travail.
