Authors: Cyr-Scully Ali , Howard Annie Green , Sanzone Erin , Meyer Katie A , Du Shufa , Zhang Bing , Wang Huijun , Gordon-Larsen Penny
Published: September 2021

BackgroundIn recent decades China has experienced rapid urbanization leading to a major nutrition transition, with increased refined carbohydrates, added sweeteners, edible oils, and animal-source foods, and reduced legumes, vegetables, and fruits. These changes have accompanied increased prevalence of cardiometabolic disease (CMD). There is no single dietary measure that summarizes the distinct food changes across regions and levels of urbanization.ObjectiveWe aimed to develop a diet urbanization index that would represent a dietary pattern for urbanized diet across diverse regions. MethodsUsing a sample of adults (≥18 years) in the 2015 wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS; n = 14,024), we selected literature-based candidate dietary variables and tested their univariate associations with overall and within-region urbanization. Using iterative exclusion of select diet-related variables, we created six potential urbanized diet indices, which we examined relative to overall urbanization to select a final urbanized diet index based on a priori considerations, strength of association with urbanization, and minimal missingness. We tested stability of the final urbanized diet index across sociodemographic factors and used mixed effects logistic regression models to examine associations between the final urbanized diet index and CMD risk factors – hypertension (HTN), overweight, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), adjusting for sociodemographics, overall urbanization, physical activity, and including random intercepts to account for correlation at community and household level.ResultsWe identified a final urbanized diet index that captured dietary information unique to consumption of an urbanized diet and performed well across regions. We found a positive association (R2 = 0.17, 0.01 SE) between the final urbanized diet index and overall urbanization in the fully adjusted model. We found no associations between the urbanized diet index with HTN, overweight, and T2DM in fully adjusted models (OR (95% CI) = 0.94 (0.89-1.0), 1.0 (0.95 - 1.05), 1.02 (0.94 - 1.10), respectively).Conclusions We derived an urbanized diet index that captured dietary urbanization that was distinct from overall urbanization and performed well across all regions of China. This urbanized diet index provides an alternative to measures of traditional versus Westernized diet that vary across regions due to different cultural dietary traditions.
“I Tried to Get Help About my Addiction but he Just gave me Tablets:” Male Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Clients’ Experiences and Preferences Speaking about Substance use in Primary Care
Authors: Farnbach Sara , Fernando Jamie , Coyte Joe , Simms Matthew , Hackett Maree
Published: September 2021

Background Primary healthcare (PHC) services are crucial in supporting people with substance use problems. The aims of this study were to explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter Aboriginal) males in treatment for substance use problems experiences about speaking about their substance use with PHC staff, and their preferences for accessing PHC about their substance use.MethodsSemi-structured interviews with residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment service clients. Thematic analysis was used to develop themes inductively and deductively. Two interviews were independently double coded by an Aboriginal researcher and the project was supported by an Aboriginal Advisory Group.ResultsTwenty male adults who self-identified as Aboriginal participated (mean age 27 years). Half reported visiting PHC and talking about their substance use before their residential service stay. Two major themes developed: (1) asking for help for substance use or mental health problems linked with substance use, (2) ways to improve access to PHC about substance use. Although some males were offered treatment, some were not, and others had concerns about the treatments offered. ConclusionThis research highlights opportunities to improve access and to better support Aboriginal males with substance use problems in PHC. Focus on culturally appropriate PHC and providing staff with training around substance use and treatment options may improve access. It is important to foster culturally appropriate services, develop PHC staff knowledge around substance use, focus on therapeutic relationships and have a range of treatment options available that can be tailored to individual circumstances.

Authors: Liu Zuofa , Zhou Jie , Wang Hang , Wang Qiuyun , Liang Qiang , Li Yongliang
Published: September 2021

In this work, a laser polishing-hardening (LPH) method with integration and high efficiency for the treatment of AISI D2 tool steel was proposed, and the effects of laser hardening (LH), laser polishing (LP) and LPH treatments on the surface topography and microhardness were examined. The results show that LH method had a negligible effect on the surface roughness of the treated sample, while the surface roughness Ra of LP and LPH specimens was reduced by 74.6% and 80.9% respectively, indicating that the milled surface topography had been significantly improved, especially LPH was more effective in reducing the roughness. Besides, the polishing efficiency of LPH was 10 times that of LP approach. In terms of hardness improvement, the near-surface microhardness of LH and LPH samples increased by 1.5 times and 1.3 times respectively, and the effective hardened zone (EHZ) depth was 0.42 mm and 0.24 mm respectively, demonstrating that these two laser processing methods had a beneficial effect on the cross-section microhardness of D2 tool steel, while the increase of LP on the microhardness was insignificant. The comprehensive analysis of the surface morphology and microhardness of LPH specimen indicates that LPH was a feasible laser surface treatment method for D2 tool steel. On the premise of ensuring a high surface finish, the polishing efficiency can be remarkably improved, the subsurface microhardness and EHZ depth of processed specimen can be also significantly enhanced, which provided a feasible idea for the application of laser surface treatment technology in industrial mold production.

Purpose

To evaluate the Dutch integrated nuclear medicine and radiology residency program from the perspective of nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists.
Methods

A survey was distributed among nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists in hospitals that participate in the Dutch integrated nuclear medicine and radiology training program.
Results

A total of 139 completed questionnaires were included. Nuclear medicine physicians (n = 36) assigned a mean score of 5.7 ± 2.0, and radiologists (n = 103) assigned a mean score of 6.5 ± 2.8 (on a 1–10 scale) to the success of the integrated training program in their hospital. On multiple regression, female gender of the survey participant (B = 2.22, P = 0.034), musculoskeletal radiology as subspecialty of the survey participant (B = 3.36, P = 0.032), and the survey participant’s expectancy of resident’s ability to handle workload after completion of residency, were significantly associated with perceived success of the integrated training program (B = 1.16, P = 0.023). Perceived strengths of the integrated training program included: broadening of expertise, a better preparation of future imaging specialists for hybrid imaging, increased efficiency in training residents, and increased efficiency in multidisciplinary meetings. Perceived weaknesses of the integrated training program included: reduced exposure to nuclear medicine, less time for research and innovation, and concerns about its international recognition.
Conclusion

This study provided insights into the experiences of nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists with the Dutch integrated nuclear medicine and radiology residency program, which may be helpful to improve the program and similar residency programs in other countries.

PurposeTo investigate the surgical prognosis and efficacy of adjuvant therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with occult lymph node metastasis (ONM) defined by positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).MethodsA total of 3537 NSCLC patients receiving surgical resection were included in this study. The prognosis between patients with ONM and evident nodal metastasis, ONM patients with and without adjuvant therapy were compared, respectively.ResultsONM was associated with significantly better prognosis than evident nodal metastasis whether for patients with N1 (5-year OS: 56.8% versus 52.3%, adjusted p value=0.267; 5-year RFS: 44.7% versus 33.2%, adjusted p value=0.031) or N2 metastasis (5-year OS: 42.8% versus 32.3%, adjusted p value=0.010; 5-year RFS: 31.3% versus 21.6%, adjusted p value=0.025). In ONM population, patients receiving adjuvant therapy yielded better prognosis comparing to those without adjuvant therapy (5-year OS: 50.1% versus 33.5%, adjusted p value<0.001; 5-year RFS: 38.4% versus 22.1%, adjusted p value<0.001). Conclusions﻿ONM defined by PET-CT identifies a unique clinical subtype of lung cancer, ONM is a favorable prognostic factor whether for pathological N1 or N2 NSCLC and adjuvant therapy could provide additional survival benefits for ONM patients.

Authors: Uçakhan Ömür Ö , Özcan Gökçen
Published: September 2021

Purpose: To evaluate the morphology and function of the meibomian glands (MG) in keratoconus patients.Methods: One hundred eyes of 100 keratoconus patients and 100 eyes of 100 age-matched healthy subjects were included into this study. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, non-invasive break up time (NIBUT), meibography findings, fluorescein staining of the ocular surface, tear film break-up time (TBUT), and Schirmer I test were recorded in all patient eyes and were compared with controls.Results: The mean TBUT and NIBUT were significantly lower, corneal staining and OSDI scores were statistically higher in the keratoconus group (p<0.05). The mean meiboscore, partial gland, gland dropout and gland thickening scores of the upper and lower eyelids were significantly higher in keratoconus patients compared to controls (p<0.05). The NIBUT measurements significantly correlated with MG loss in both upper and lower eyelids (p<0.05). The severity of keratoconus seemed to correlate with meiboscore, partial gland, gland thickening scores in both upper and lower eyelids. Conclusion: Our data suggest that corneal ectasia in keratoconus is associated with alterations in ocular surface, tear film function and MG morphology. Early screening and treatment of MG dysfunction may improve ocular surface quality and allow better disease management in keratoconus patients.

Authors: Opeloyeru Olaide Sekinat , Faronbi Temitope Olanike , Raifu Isiaka Akande
Published: September 2021

The study investigated the role of institutional quality in the relationship between health expenditure and labour force participation (LFP) in Africa, taking into consideration two forms of health expenditures (government health expenditure (GHE) and out-of-pocket health expenditure (OOPHE)) and gender labour force participation dichotomy. We employed data of 39 African countries for the period between 2000 and 2018 using Panel Fixed Effects with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors and two-stage System Generalised Method of Moments (GMM). The results revealed that government health expenditure yields an increasing effect on total, female, and male LFP. OOPHE, in most cases, leads to a decline in LFP. The institutional quality was found to be detrimental to LFP. The magnitude of the positive effect of government health expenditure on LFP is reduced by the interaction of institutional quality with government expenditure. In conclusion, we advocate for the improvement in institutional apparatuses across African countries. JEI CODE: E62; H51; J21; O43
The evolution of COVID-19 pandemic wave and optimal levels of vaccination to reduce negative effects in society
Authors: Coccia Mario
Published: September 2021

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a pandemic threat with new mutations of the viral agent (SARS-CoV 2) that are generating a constant state of attention in manifold countries. Innovative drugs, such as vaccines can sustain, as far as possible, immunity of people and decrease negative effects in society. The study here, using data of vaccines and confirmed cases of COVID-19 between countries from March to May 2021, clarifies different optimal levels of vaccination associated with the growth of pandemic wave for reducing infected individuals in society. Findings reveal that a vaccination campaign in the initial phase of pandemic wave has a lower optimal level of doses administered per 100 inhabitants, but the growth of pandemic wave moves up the optimal level of vaccines from 58.5 in March to more than 86 doses per 100 people in May 2021. This study suggests that the optimal strategy and response to pandemic crisis is a rapid vaccination rollout, before the takeoff of pandemic wave, for an effective response to reduce numbers of COVID-19 related infected individuals and deaths and negative effects of pandemic crisis on environment and socioeconomic systems.
New Europium(III)-TTA Complex Containing 2-Pyrrolidone as Coligand to Application as Luminescent Sensor: PbII and Ethanol in Gasoline
Authors: Macrino Clebson , Borges Alex , Cunha Neto Álvaro , Lacerda Jr. Valdemar , Romão Wanderson
Published: September 2021

This work describes the synthesis and application of an europium(III) complex, [Eu(TTA)3(2-pyr) (H2O)], containing 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate (TTA) and 2-pyrrolidone (2-pyr) as ligands, obtained as white solid and soluble in ethanol. In solution, the complex showed red emission, characteristic of the EuIII emission in the solid state (λexc = 375 nm and λem = 612 nm). The complex was tested with PbII, CdII, and HgII ions in water. The effect of metal ions was monitored and evaluated by hypersensitive transition 5D0 → 7F2 (612 nm). The results show that PbII suppresses the complex luminescence and present high sensitivity, according to the values for the Stern-Volmer constant (KSV = 2300 L mol-1), showing good linearity, i.e., determination coefficient (R2 ) of 0.9913, and low limit of detection (LOD = 6.03 µM). Luminescence quenching increased with the increasing concentration of PbII. These results indicate that the synthesized complex is a potential luminescent sensor for detecting PbII in a simple and fast way, being applicable for routine environmental analysis. When applied as an ethanol sensor in gasoline, the complex hypersensitive transition intensity decreased with the increasing volume of ethanol in gasoline, reaching the values of R2 = 0.9815 and LOD = 4.94% v/v.

Advancing on the promises of techno-ecological nature-based solutions: A framework for green technology in water supply and treatment
Authors: Blackburn Emma A. J. , Emelko Monica B. , Dickson-Anderson Sarah , Stone Micheal
Published: September 2021

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly proposed for effectively and adaptively addressing societal challenges such as water security and natural disasters. However, NBS that are exclusively reliant on natural processes are not fit-for-purpose for the provision of safe drinking water – some range of built technology is required. There is a wide spectrum of techno-ecological NBS – ‘green technologies’ – that are fit-for-purpose in the treatment and distribution of safe drinking water. A framework was developed to enable an accurate and transparent description of the ‘green’ attributes of technology – including green infrastructure – in the water industry. The framework differentiates technology ‘greenness’ by relatively examining key attributes that may cause environmental impacts across the technology's life cycle through the lens of the environmental setting in which it is applied. In the water industry, green technology can be described by four main attributes: natural-resource basis, energy consumption, waste production, and footprint. These attributes are closely linked and must be considered relative to the biophysical and human environments in which they are applied and the other technologies to which they are being compared. The use of the framework can facilitate techno-ecological decision-making that strives to address diverse stakeholder priorities – including the influence of sociocultural factors on the green technology preferences of individuals, groups, or communities.
Trends in global greywater reuse: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Pinto Gustavo Oliveira , da Silva Junior Luis Carlos Soares , Assad Daniel Bouzon Nagem , Pereira Samira Herculano , Mello Luiz Carlos Brasil de Brito
Published: September 2021

The increase in water demand in recent years led to the expansion of research and public policies on the reuse of water, especially greywater (GW). Given the diversity of research in the area, this paper proposes an analysis of the evolution of the area through an objectivity metric. Metadata of 1,524 publications indexed in the Scopus database between 1974 and 2021 were analyzed using the VOSviewer tool, and showed exponential growth in publications from 2013. Six different spelling variations were found for GW in the database. Despite the highly geographical scattering of academic production, developed countries, who began researching greywater earlier, had more connections and published more papers; except for Israel, which had the highest average of citations per article. While developed countries lead the research area, developing countries are emerging in GW reuse research. These aspects reveal both the dispersion of the research structure development and a trend of intellectual production in GW from developed to developing countries. Also, we noted that countries suffering from water scarcity stood out with the highest activity in paper publishing. Thus, we expect that future research on GW reuse will take place in developing countries that face water scarcity.

Authors: Moura Raphael Henrique de , Coelho Mariana
Published: September 2021

A Colômbia ocupa a segunda posição dentre os países que mais possui estudantes universitários que fazem intercâmbio no Brasil. Um dos tópicos que é de grande importância para se entender a influência que a cultura tem sobre o estudante internacional é a aculturação, tema ainda pouco explorado em periódicos de turismo no Brasil. O presente estudo teve como objetivo compreender a aculturação de colombianos em uma universidade brasileira, utilizando como base os estudos de Smith e Khawaja (2011). A pesquisa é um estudo qualitativo e exploratório que investiga as influências aculturativas no intercambista e como ele reage a esses estímulos impostos pelo novo ambiente. Através de uma análise de conteúdo, as argumentações dos doze entrevistados foram analizadas, sendo nove da graduação e três da pós-graduação. Como resultado, são descritos os desafios do idioma, estressores educacionais, estressores socioculturais, discriminação e o estilo de vida adotado pelo intercambista. Os resultados encontrados manifestam a procura por estudar em uma universidade que possua uma qualidade de ensino superior à do país de origem, podendo representar melhores oportunidades profissionais no futuro. Existe, também, uma busca por complementação dos estudos, buscando estudar em uma instituição que apresente um foco diferente de ensino e, assim, se tornar um profissional mais completo para o mercado de trabalho. Além disso, o conhecimento da língua portuguesa foi de suma importância nas experiências relatadas, uma vez que, seu domínio interfere diretamente na adaptação do ambiente.

Edible Medicinal Plants on Facilitating Childbirth: A Systematic Review
Authors: Salari Roshanak , Ivari Fatemeh Rahmani , Vatanchi Atiyeh Mohamadzadeh , Yousefi Mahdi , Badaksh Fateme
Published: September 2021

Background:

Despite advances and the availability of newer drugs to facilitate childbirth,
the interest in using natural treatments is on the rise. More than 20 percent of pregnancies require
induction of labor, which is associated with side effects and increased risk of cesarean
surgery. For this reason, the use of medicinal plants is considered healthier.

Objective:

The present study is a systematic review of the role of oral herbs in facilitating childbirth.

Method:

This review was conducted via searching the Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus,
and SID databases. The review began systematically and with no time constraints. It lasted until December
29, 2020.

Results:

Twenty clinical trials investigated the impact of edible plants on increasing cervical readiness,
stimulating labor onset, reducing pain intensity, and shortening the duration of labor. Five
studies have revealed the positive impact of saffron. Two studies reported the same effect by chamomile.
Three studies showed the positive impact of boiled dill seeds, and two studies showed the
impact of date and date syrup. Another study reported the impact of Descurainia Sophia, and six
studies also showed the positive effect of castor oil on uterine stimulation, strengthening and relieving
labor pains, which eventually lead to facilitating labor. One study also showed no improvement
in bishop score after consumption of primrose capsules.

Conclusion:

The positive effect of edible medicinal plants on facilitating childbirth has been
shown in the mentioned studies. However, more studies with a larger sample size are needed, and
there is also a need for a more detailed study of the possible mechanisms of plant effects.
Fixed Drug Eruptions Secondary to Fixed Drug Combination (Ofloxacin/Ornidazole): A Cross Sensitivity Case Report
Authors: Chaudhary Raushan Kumar , Metgudmath Anjali R. , Bhandari Ramesh , Karoli Satish S. , R. Uday Kumar
Published: September 2021

Background:

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is an erythematous cutaneous patch caused by
certain drugs through activation of immunologic reactions in the body. The onset of FDE is 30 minutes
to 8 hours and is estimated to occur in upto 16-21% of all cutaneous reactions. The irrational
combination of fluoroquinolones and nitroimidazole is the most prescribed drug for diarrhea in India,
and the drug is found to cause FDE either individually or in combination. Cross sensitivity is
the major issue associated with Fluoroquinolones and nitroimidazole.

Case repor:

Our case is of a 45-year-old male who developed FDE due to a combination product
of ofloxacin and ornidazole with past FDE history due to a combination product of norfloxacin and
tinidazole. The patient presented with erythematous patches all over the body, swollen lips, mucosal
erosion over the buccal cavity, and glans penis.

Discussion:

The patient was successively treated after the withdrawal of the culprit drug with oral
Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other topical creams and gels, which correlates with the standard
management of FDE.

Conclusion:

Proper prescribing knowledge, documentation of drug allergies, and educating patient
about allergic reaction play vital role to prevent future drug related problems.

A Patient-Screening Tool for Clinical Research Based on Electronic Health Records Using OpenEHR: Development Study
Authors: Li Mengyang , Cai Hailing , Nan Shan , Li Jialin , Lu Xudong , Duan Huilong
Published: September 2021

Background

The widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has facilitated the secondary use of EHR data for clinical research. However, screening eligible patients from EHRs is a challenging task. The concepts in eligibility criteria are not completely matched with EHRs, especially derived concepts. The lack of high-level expression of Structured Query Language (SQL) makes it difficult and time consuming to express them. The openEHR Expression Language (EL) as a domain-specific language based on clinical information models shows promise to represent complex eligibility criteria.

Objective

The study aims to develop a patient-screening tool based on EHRs for clinical research using openEHR to solve concept mismatch and improve query performance.

Methods

A patient-screening tool based on EHRs using openEHR was proposed. It uses the advantages of information models and EL in openEHR to provide high-level expressions and improve query performance. First, openEHR archetypes and templates were chosen to define concepts called simple concepts directly from EHRs. Second, openEHR EL was used to generate derived concepts by combining simple concepts and constraints. Third, a hierarchical index corresponding to archetypes in Elasticsearch (ES) was generated to improve query performance for subqueries and join queries related to the derived concepts. Finally, we realized a patient-screening tool for clinical research.

Results

In total, 500 sentences randomly selected from 4691 eligibility criteria in 389 clinical trials on stroke from the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) were evaluated. An openEHR-based clinical data repository (CDR) in a grade A tertiary hospital in China was considered as an experimental environment. Based on these, 589 medical concepts were found in the 500 sentences. Of them, 513 (87.1%) concepts could be represented, while the others could not be, because of a lack of information models and coarse-grained requirements. In addition, our case study on 6 queries demonstrated that our tool shows better query performance among 4 cases (66.67%).

Conclusions

We developed a patient-screening tool using openEHR. It not only helps solve concept mismatch but also improves query performance to reduce the burden on researchers. In addition, we demonstrated a promising solution for secondary use of EHR data using openEHR, which can be referenced by other researchers.

Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan kajian untuk menentukan karakter morfologi untuk keperluan evaluasi keragaman genetik secara efektif dan efisien, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pola keragaman plasma nutfah padi koleksi Departemen Budidaya Pertanian, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) berdasarkan karakter morfologi, dan menentukan karakter penciri padi yang berkontribusi pada keragaman genetik untuk dimanfaatkan dalam karakterisasi plasma nutfah secara efektif dan efisien. Penelitian disusun dalam Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 2 ulangan dan 17 aksesi padi yang terdiri dari 12 plasma nutfah dan 5 kultivar sebagai perlakuan. Terdapat 12 karakter kuantitatif dan 6 karakter kualitatif yang diamati. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam, uji Scott-Knott, analisis lintas, analisis komponen utama, dan analisis kluster. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat keragaman pada semua karakter kuantitatif. Plasma nutfah padi dapat dikelompokkan menjadi empat kelompok berdasarkan karakter kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Sementara karakter kualitatif sebagian besar aksesi padi menunjukkan sudut daun bendera tegak, sudut daun sedang, cabang malai sekunder berkelompok, tipe malai antara kompak dan sedang, malai hanya muncul sebatas leher malai, dan tidak ada bulu ujung gabah. Tinggi tanaman, panjang dan lebar daun bendera, panjang daun, diameter ruas batang bawah, panjang malai, jumlah malai (anakan produktif), bobot 10 butir gabah, umur berbunga dan panen berkontribusi terhadap keragaman. Karater-karakter tersebut berpotensi sebagai karakter penciri padi yang dapat meningkatkan efektifitas dan efisiensi karakterisasi plasma nutfah, terutama dalam penggunaan tenaga, waktu, dan biaya.

Iron deficiency Anaemia is the most common case of nutritional Anaemia worldwide and is a public health problem in developing countries; characterized by abnormal red cell count (MCV, MCHC). Iron deficiency Anaemia associated with fatigue, skin paleness, weakness etc. The aim of the study is to determine the risk factors for iron deficiency Anaemia among population of Ujjain district (M.P.). Both male and female iron deficient patients were studied from the SS hospital and CHL applo hospitals during Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2012. A group of 6828 patients were studied for iron deficiency Anaemia in different age groups. A total of 4549 female and 2279 males were studied. Information was collected about sex, socioeconomic level. It is inferred that the percentage of anaemia is more in women compared to men.
PREOBLIKOVANJE ODREDBI AHTISARIJEVOG PLANA: KULTURNO I VERSKO NASLEĐE I POSTKONFLIKTNI SPORAZUM BEOGRADA I PRIŠTINE
Authors: Surlic Stefan , Novakovic Igor
Published: September 2021

Rad identifikuje mehanizme zaštite srpskog verskog i kulturnog nasleđa na Kosovu definisane Ahtisarijevim planom i analizira njihovu dosadašnju primenu. Autori imaju za cilj da ukažu na to da status srpskog kulturnog nasleđa na Kosovu uključuje ali i nadilazi pitanja zaštite, očuvanja i neometane upotrebe u verskim obredima. Kulturno nasleđe ima duboko politički kontekst, koji je do sada bio zanemaren u srpsko-albanskim odnosima, sa uverenjem da će širi sporazum o statusu relativizovati pitanja kulture i identiteta. U prvom delu analiza daje sveobuhvatan pregled pravnih garancija i iskustva u njihovoj primeni, detaljno se bavi primerima zloupotrebe i nepoštovanja usvojenog normativnog okvira, kritikom „posebnog“ statusa za srpsko nasleđe i otvorenim sporovima između Srpske pravoslavne crkve (SPC) i vlasti u Prištini. Ključni nalaz analize je da sadašnje ustavne i zakonske garancije ne mogu biti trajne i efikasne u potpunoj zaštiti srpskog kulturnog nasleđa na Kosovu, kao i da postoji dugogodišnji jaz između propisanih normi i njihove primene u praksi. U drugom delu, tekst daje uporedni pregled posebnih statusa svetih mesta u Evropi. Budući da se eksteritorijalni status često pominje kao konačni model za srpsko versko i kulturno nasleđe, rad je pokušao da ponudi i nekoliko modela teritorijalnih rešenja za manje jedinice, u obliku enklava, eksteritorijalnosti i kondominijuma. Na kraju, autori vrše pregled dosadašnje literature posvećene kulturnom nasleđu u postkonfliktnom periodu i ukazuju na odsustvo univerzalnog normativnog okvira i mehanizama zaštite uprkos razvoju različitih međunarodnih instrumenata.

RAD PREKO PLATFORMI I NOVI OBLICI RADA U DIGITALNOJ EKONOMIJI
Authors: Urdarevic Bojan , Antic Aleksandar
Published: September 2021

Rad preko platformi predstavlja atipični, novi oblik rada, koji je omogućila digitalna tehnologija. Odlikuje se. najčešće, trojnim pravnim odnosom između digitalne platforme, radnika na platformi i klijenta. Pošto se pojavljuje u različitim oblicima, trenutno predstavlja problem na polju radnog zakonodavstva, socijalne zaštite i oporezivanja u nacionalnim okvirima. Nesumnjivo da je platformski rad doprineo diversifikaciji tržišta rada. Novi radni zadaci koji se obavljaju preko digitalnih platformi kao što su „Uber”, „Deliveroo” ili „Foodora” postavljaju nove uslove za radnike koji na kraju ne mogu da budu jasno klasifikovani ni kao „zaposleni” ni kao „samozaposleni”.
Van svake sumnje je da danas poslodavci i zaposleni žele više fleksibilnosti u organizaciji rada, što im digitalizacija omogućava. Međutim, uz pozitivne, postoje i negativne posledice ovakve fleksibilnosti, koja se ogleda, pre svega, u intenziviranju radnih zadataka i postepenog ukidanja granica između porodičnih i radnih obaveza. Upotreba novih oblika rada, koji se danas obavljaju preko različitih digitalnih platformi je u stalnom porastu. Stoga je od suštinskog značaja da uočimo ovakve promene, pozabavimo se problemima koje one nose i ne ostavimo da se same od sebe problemi reše. U ovom radu biće predstavljeni najznačajniji oblici platformskog rada, kao i njegove vrste i istovremeno će biti ukazano na pojedine normativne izazove sa kojima se skoro sve savremene države susreću.
POLITIČKI I SOCIJALNI IZAZOVI SAVREMENIH MIGRACIJA
Authors: Zivaljevic Dragan , Merdovic Boro
Published: September 2021

Na početku rada daju se osnovne odrednice fenomena migracija, a potom se ukazuje na kompleksne i dalekosežne implikacije savremenih prisilnih migratornih kretanja sa područja Bliskog istoka i severa Afrike ka evropskom kontinentu. U nastavku se analiziraju i naučno elaboriraju politički, socijalni i bezbednosni aspekti ovog fenomena. Posebna pažnja je posvećena ulozi političkih subjekata i kreatora aktuelnih politika u dodatnoj stigmatizaciji migrantske populacije i razvijanju ksenofobnih obrazaca ponašanja u zemljama prijema. U radu se daje prikaz socijalnih promena sa kojima se susreću društva na trasi migratornih kretanja. Ističu se problemi u integrisanju migrantske populacije koji su uslovljeni različitim društvenim stereotipima, realnim društvenim okolnostima ili ličnim ograničenjima migranata. Dodatno se razmatra povezanost percepcije socio-kulturnih različitosti između migranata i domicilnog stanovništva zemalja prijema i socio-političke orijentacije ovih društava oličene u njihovom stavu i raspoloženju prema migrantima. U završnom delu rada dati su predlozi koji mogu biti korišćeni u cilju suzbijanja negativnih implikacija migratornih kretanja i sprečavanja daljih humanitarnih katastrofa, kojima je ova populacija izložena.

El caso Ayotzinapa. Arte y derechos humanos
Authors: Gutiérrez Galindo Blanca
Published: September 2021

La desaparición de 43 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural “Raúl Isidro Burgos” de Ayotzinapa y el asesinato de seis personas más, la noche del 26 al 27 de septiembre de 2014 en Iguala, Guerrero, puso en evidencia la grave crisis de derechos humanos por la que atraviesa México y generó una enorme solidaridad entre los artistas. El objetivo de este artículo, de acuerdo con la noción de litigio artístico de la abogada colombiana Yolanda Sierra, es explicar las piezas Papalotes, de Francisco Toledo, Nivel de confianza, de Rafael Lozano-Hemmer y Retratos de LEGO. Caso Ayotzinapa, de Ai Weiwei. Se mostrará que, articuladas a partir de las imágenes de los rostros de los estudiantes, estas piezas ejecutan acciones de reconocimiento y memoria que contribuyen a gestionar el duelo, imaginar formas diferentes de relación social entre los mexicanos y llamar la atención sobre el caso en el ámbito global.
Patronos, clientela y patrocinios. La tipología iconográfica de la Virgen de la Misericordia y del patrocinio de san José en la Nueva España
Authors: Rubial Antonio
Published: September 2021

Una de las representaciones más populares en el arte novohispano fue la que mostraba a la Virgen o a los santos protegiendo bajo su manto a comunidades y autoridades, con base en el esquema clientelar y corporativo propio del Antiguo Régimen. El mayor número de ejemplos de tal modelo iconográfico pertenece al siglo XVIII y presenta a las diversas órdenes religiosas y a otras corporaciones como las receptoras principales de los beneficios celestiales. La difusión de dicho modelo fue una de las respuestas que promovieron las organizaciones religiosas para enfrentar las políticas borbónicas que limitaban sus antiguos privilegios. Con estos y otros discursos visuales, frailes y monjas mostraban que su presencia era fundamental para toda sociedad que se llamara católica.
Los orígenes, difusión y conexiones interreligiosas en torno a las cuentas de oración: un caso de estudio de la evangelización de Japón
Authors: Arimura Rie
Published: September 2021

Praying with a string of beads is not exclusive to Catholicism. Various Asian religions have had a similar tradition since before the advent of Christ. This paper addresses the parallels between different religious traditions, as well as the origin, formation and spread of the Holy Rosary and its variants called “crowns.” It also analyzes the intersections between Buddhist and Catholic prayer traditions during the period of the evangelization of Japan (1549-1639). To this end, it draws on a theoretical framework aimed at interpreting the acceptance of Christianity from the point of view of ordinary people, by comparing the similarities and differences between the beliefs, practices, and organizational structure of popular Buddhism (in particular, Jōdo-shū and Jōdo-Shinshū, branches of Pure Land Buddhism) and those of Catholicism.
