Growing Up Between Cultures: How Second-Generation Migrants Perceive and Construct “Home”
Authors: Celenta Francesca , Klausegger Catharina
Published: March 2021

The word “home” can refer to a house, a family, a country, or even to a feeling of safety and comfort. Through increased mobility, the conception of home as a static place loses its meaning. For second-generation migrants, the children of migrants, the concept of home is ambiguous. They can have transnational ties to their parents’ home country and the country they grew up in. The ambiguity leads second-generation migrants to construct home through reflective practices. Through in-depth interviews with eight second-generation migrants, we found that home is necessarily a complex and varied concept. The most important aspects to constructing a home are family (nuclear as well as extended family), a sense of community through shared values, and lastly reflective practices on what it means to grow up between cultures. While nuclear family provides the first safe space to create a feeling of home, feeling like part of a community is essential for feeling at home in a town or country. Some second-generation migrants find a community in the country they grew up in, while others feel rejected due to discrimination. In those cases, second-generation migrants search for cosmopolitan communities that share values of openness to difference.

Authors: Guerra I. , Borges F. , Padrão J. , Tavares J. , Padrão M.H.
Published: March 2021

The so-called Smart Cities have been playing an important role in the academic literatureas well as in the agenda of public policies. With the forward thinking of “creating” newurban development models, the cities intend to strategically positioning themselves and atthe same time develop cooperation networks. Frequently using the Information andCommunication Technologies (while as a means to an end and not as an end itself), thecities try to assure a greater economic competitiveness, the environmental sustainabilityand the reinforcement of citizenship (calling out to people to participate, in the scope of aninclusive logic and in an appeal to creativity and social responsibility).Even the 2020European strategy promotes this development.The geographic scope of the study islimited to the city of Porto. This is justified by the fact that, in 2015, Porto was one the fiveEuropean cities selected to participate in the GrowSmarter (model of organization of citiesof the future), an ambitious project with the objective of making Europe more sustainableand environmentally intelligent.Besides that, the Portuguese Smart Cities Index, 2016, points out the city of Oporto as thePortuguese city with better results in what concerns the main vectors of intelligence(policy, strategies and projects implemented, edification, mobility, energy and smartservices).At the same time, in the international press, the city of Porto appears as areference for its architectural wealth and as one of the more indicated Europeandestinations for one who would like to enjoy quality holidays at a reasonable price.That isperhaps why Shermans Travel presents Porto as one of the top 10 destinations forintelligent tourists. The purpose of the present study is to understand if the emergence ofsmart cities can be in some way connected to the appearance of smart tourism. For such apurpose, we will study the city of Porto and a survey will be conducted among the touristsof the city.This article compiles some of the first results of the study, referring to the datacollected during the months of August and September of 2017, and intends mainly to setout some hypotheses about the motivation for the choice of a tourist destination, that willbe developed in future works.

Statement of the Problem: The bioceramic cements have properties that provide periradicular and root regeneration. Attributes that determine regenerative dentistry. Purpose: the objective of this study was to evaluate endodontic treatments of necrotic teeth performed with PBS HP CIMMO® cement (without gutta-percha), compared to conventional treatments, filled with gutta-percha. Materials and Method: A two-arm, double-blind, single-center, randomized, and prospective clinical trial was designed (NCT03514264). CONSORT guidelines were followed. Eighty-six patients aged 18-60 years were enrolled; only one tooth per patient was treated. Patients were treated in two sessions in Group A (gutta-percha thermoplasticization and vertical hydraulic compresssion and AH Plus® n=43) and one session in Group B (PBS HP CIMMO® n=43). The evaluation was performed one year after the treatment. Two examiners performed clinical examinations and evaluated CT images for the presence or absence of periradicular lesion. Intention-to-treat analysis was used. Results: Tomographic analyzes showed differences between the groups: group B (PBS HP CIMMO®) presented a higher number of cases with periradicular regeneration (p=0.0004). Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated the possibility of rehabilitation of necrotic teeth through endodontic filling with bioceramic (PBS HP CIMMO®), without gutta-percha, in a single session.

Published: March 2021

Examining the transformation of financial relations in Ukraine, in the previous article the authors analyzed the impact of foreign capital on the economic development of this country's economy and found that its concentration in certain economic activities contributed to consolidating its raw material orientation. The authors conclude that due to the distorted model of Ukraine's economic development, successful practices of developed countries to attract foreign investment and reform the financial sector are ineffective in this country's economy. Continuing the study of the transformations of financial relations in Ukraine, which are taking place under the influence of the approximation of domestic legislation to European standards, the authors could not leave aside the question of impact of the liberalization of currency legislation on the economy. Given that currency liberalization significantly affects the behavior of foreign investors, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of legislative changes in the financial sector, and described the main results of their implementation. The positive and negative consequences of currency liberalization in Ukraine for business entities and the economy in general are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the risks associated with the liberalization of operations related to the movement of capital and the behavior of non-residents in the financial market of Ukraine. It is concluded that Ukraine's economy with its distorted development model belongs to the financially and institutionally weak ones, hence is not presently ready to liberalize its monetary relations, which could only deepen the deformations and reduce resilience to macroeconomic imbalances.
Modeling the impact of public debt on economic growth in Ukraine
Authors:   State Institution ", Shvets` Serhiy ,   Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine"
Published: March 2021

The study considers modeling approaches to determine the relationship between the level of public debt and economic growth. Empirical evidence for the positive, neutral, and negative correlation between the indicators arrive in a nonlinear function in the form of inverted U-curve, whose theoretical argumentation is associated with the implementation of the golden rule of public finance. To verify the empirical evidence on the example of Ukraine's economy, the author provides a scenario assessment based on the constructed econometric model of fiscal-monetary interaction. The results of modeling confirm the existence of a relationship that corresponds to a second-order polynomial trend. The maximum level of public debt, above which the GDP rate declines, is 63.8%, and the critical level of public debt, at which the rate of economic growth changes to negative, is 87.4%. As the development of Ukraine's economy is approaching the upper limit of the determined functional entry, to accelerate growth, it is necessary to focus the limited resource of public debt to finance large-scale infrastructure projects with a high capital return.

Authors: Mullins Eric S. , Geer Rebecca , Metcalf Megan , Piccola Jeanne , Lane Adam , Conard Lee Ann E. , Mullins Tanya L. Kowalczyk
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Many transgender youth experience gender dysphoria, a risk factor for suicide. Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) ameliorates this risk but may increase the risk for thrombosis, as seen from studies in adults. The aim with this study was to examine thrombosis and thrombosis risk factors among an exclusively adolescent and young adult transgender population.

METHODS:

This retrospective chart review was conducted at a pediatric hospital-associated transgender health clinic. The primary outcome was incidence of arterial or venous thrombosis during GAHT. Secondary measures included the prevalence of thrombosis risk factors.

RESULTS:

Among 611 participants, 28.8% were transgender women and 68.1% were transgender men. Median age was 17 years at GAHT initiation. Median follow-up time was 554 and 577 days for estrogen and testosterone users, respectively. Individuals starting GAHT had estradiol and testosterone levels titrated to physiologic normal. Multiple thrombotic risk factors were noted among the cohort, including obesity, tobacco use, and personal and family history of thrombosis. Seventeen youth with risk factors for thrombosis were referred for hematologic evaluation. Five individuals were treated with anticoagulation during GAHT: 2 with a previous thrombosis and 3 for thromboprophylaxis. No participant developed thrombosis while on GAHT.

CONCLUSIONS:

In this study, we examined thrombosis and thrombosis risk factors in an exclusively adolescent and young adult population of transgender people receiving GAHT. These data suggest that GAHT in youth, titrated within physiologic range, does not carry a significant risk of thrombosis in the short-term, even with the presence of preexisting thrombosis risk factors.
LITERARY SOCIETIES AND MODERNISM: THE SOCIAL COMPOSITION OF THE KAZINCZY CIRCLE IN KASSA AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY
Authors: KOUDELA PÁL
Published: March 2021

Literary societies are in focus both of literary studies and social history.1 In particular, they played an important role in the modernization of Central Europe in the 19th century. Becoming widespread in this era, they helped develop a democratic2 political culture and disseminated literature to a wider audience. Hungarian historiography has depicted this period as one of large-scale social segregation and a fragmented middle class which refused to have any contact with the bourgeoisie,34 while Slovakian historians have emphasized the exclusion of Slovaks from elite society.5 Kassa (today Košice), which was then situated in northern Hungary and is now the largest city in eastern Slovakia, has, however, been recognized as a more complicated example that challenges these assumptions.6 For instance, the importance of local citizenry was preserved in the ﬁrst half of the 19th century, in contrary to other cities in Hungary.7 The purpose of this article is to examine the composition of the most prominent social club of the town to provide fresh insights into the social history of Kassa in this period, and the larger processes shaping urban life in Central Europe in the period before the First World War. In particular, this article argues that a culture of both pluralism and exclusion was evident in the membership of Kassa’s Kazinczy Circle, and that their afﬁliations reveal a more complicated social network in the city, which both preserved communal solidarity during a period of rapid urbanization and encouraged the growth of modern democratic values.
DEN HOLOCAUST BEZEUGEN: KERTÉSZ, LEVI UND DER BLINDE FLECK DER KRITIK
Authors: EMMRICH DES. THOMAS
Published: March 2021

Das Sprechen über den Holocaust treibt die Ausdrucksfähigkeit der Sprache an die Grenze zum Unsagbaren. Mit Primo Levis Ist das ein Mensch? Ein autobiographischer Bericht und Imre Kertész’ Roman eines Schicksallosen sollen zwei unterschiedliche Modelle des Sprechens über den Genozid, der Zeugenschaft und der Kritik gegenübergestellt werden. Während Levis Kritik explizit moralisch begründet ist, i. e. sich an der binären Leitdiﬀerenz von „gut“ und „böse“ orientiert, basiert diejenige von Kertész auf den für eine Kritik am Holocaust inadäquaten Kriterien von Efﬁzienz, Ästhetik sowie Lustökonomie. Zum einen soll dargelegt werden, dass Kertész trotz der verstörenden Abwehr moralischer Wertungen auf der Inhaltsebene des Romans jene klandestin auf der erzählperspektivischen und performativen durchaus zur Geltung bringt. Obzwar sich gravierende Unterschiede zwischen Levis Ist das ein Mensch? und Kertész’ Roman eines Schicksallosen ergeben, gilt es zum anderen zu rekonstruieren, dass beide literarische Konzepte der Zeugenschaft und der Kritik unzureichend und unvollständig bleiben müssen. Der Holocaust suspendiert nicht nur die Souveränität der Sprache, sondern zeugt auch von der Aporie der Zeugenschaft und der Kritik.

Published: March 2021

Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological diseases. Many publications relating to interaction of epilepsy and pregnancy have been studied. Women with epilepsy experience a number of physical and social problems associated with obstetric risk, the risk of seizures during pregnancy. Generalized epileptic seizures may have a direct damaging effect on the fetus, although there is no conclusive evidence for a significant increase in the incidence of complications during pregnancy in women with epilepsy. Antenatal exposure to antiepileptic drugs, especially in high-dose and polytherapy, increases the risk of congenital malformations. There are concerns regarding the effects of antiepileptic drugs on infants during breastfeeding. However, the risk of complications associated with the epilepsy and the effects of antiepileptic drugs on the fetus may be reduced by joint monitor by neurologist-epileptologist and obstetrician. Key words: pregnancy, antiepileptic drugs, epilepsy, monotherapy, polytherapy.

The place and role of the Police in upbringing in sobriety and counteracting alcoholism
Authors:   University of Lodz, Poland, Jaworska-Dębska Barbara
Published: March 2021

The Police as a uniformed service, functioning throughout the country, is established in order to take care of security and public order. The Police occupy a special place among other public administration bodies operating in this field. This place of the Police undoubtedly follows the fact that it functions on the basis of a general competence regulation in the scope of ensuring security and public order. Alcohol and its abuse, illegal consumption or illegal trade are one of the most common factors generating situations leading to breach of safety and order in many areas of public and private life. Furthermore, is the fact that as a uniformed service with power, it has the ability to use police coercion.
Mediator and their role in collective disputes
Authors:   University of Rzeszow, Poland, Kowalczyk Aneta
Published: March 2021

Mediation, as a way of resolving disputes, including collective disputes, is associated with relatively small regulatory interference by the legislator, which is reflected by one of its features, i.e. a lack of formal constraints. Therefore, the question arises about the mediator’s role in resolving collective disputes. Undoubtedly, they must guarantee to be impartial, however, it should be remembered that parties to a collective dispute are its hosts. Hence, it seems that the importance of an appropriate mediation technique cannot be overstated and it can be concluded that it will have a decisive impact on the successful completion of mediation. Therefore, the mediator’s role is primarily to help the parties communicate so that the conflict does not escalate during the mediation process.

PURPOSE:This study investigated association of estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) with the incidence of cognitive impairment in Korean middle-aged and older adults.METHODS:Total of 4,239 subjects (53% women) aged ≥45 years, who participated in the Korean longitudinal study of aging (KLoSA) were included. Participants were classified into 4 categories from the lowest quartile to the highest quartile based on eCRF distribu¬tions. Korean version of mini-mental status examination (K-MMSE) was used to assessed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and severe cognitive impairment (SCI). Cox’s proportional regression analyses were used to determine the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of eCRF categories for having MCI and SCI.RESULTS: During 12-years of follow-up, there were 736 (17.4%) and 272 (6.4%) cases of incidence from MCI and SCI, respectively. In women, compared to the quartile 1 group (reference, HR=1), the quartile 4 group had significantly lower HRs of having incidence of MCI/SCI (HR=0.72, 95% CI=0.55-0.94, p=.015) and MCI (HR=0.73, 95% CI=0.54-0.99, p=.045). However, in men, eCRF was not associated with incidence of cognitive impairment.CONCLUSIONS:The current findings suggest that eCRF may be an independent predictor of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older women.

PURPOSE:The combined effect of acetic acid supplementation and endurance exercise training on fatty acid metabolism and skeletal muscle functions are not well known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week acetic acid administration with or without endurance exercise training on fatty acid metabolism and skeletal muscle functions using mice.METHODS: Fourty-eight male wild-type ICR mice (10-week old) were randomly divided into 4 groups: sedentary control (Sed+Con), sedentary sodium acetate (Sed+NaAc), exercise control (Exe+Con) and exercise sodium acetate (Exe+NaAc) groups. For acetic acid diet, sodium acetate was incorporated into the chow diet at 5% (w/w). For the exercise training, mice performed 4 days/week of 20 min treadmill running exercise training for 8 weeks. Following 8 weeks of combined treatments of acetic acid and endurance running exercise training, visceral fat mass and skeletal muscle mass, blood parameters, and the markers for fatty acid metabolism were analyzed. The results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA (p<.05) using the SPSS 21 program.RESULTS: Eight weeks of Exe+NaAc treatment significantly increased maximal running time compared with Sed+Con and Exe+Con groups (p<.05). Eight weeks of Exe+NaAc treatment significantly decreased fatty acid synthesis-related FAS (fatty acid synthase) protein levels compared with the Sed+Con group, and increased fatty acid oxidation-related CPT1B (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B) protein levels compared with Sed+Con and Sed+NaAc groups (p<.05). This combined treatment of acetic acid and endurance exercise training also increased AMPK activation compared with the Sed+Con and the Sed+NaAc groups (p<.05).CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that there were synergistic effects of the treatment of 8-week acetic acid supplementation and endurance exercise training on the reductions of body weight and visceral fat mass and an increase in endurance performance.

PURPOSE:There are various variables such as exercise posture, exercise intensity, number of repetitions, and rest time of training for muscle strength development, and these variables are intended to stimulate muscle activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of muscle activation according to grip thickness in pull-up exercise.METHODS: Eleven healthy men were randomly crossover design assigned to pull-up exercise (concentric: 1-s, eccentric: 1-s, 2-s/repetition) to failure. Surface electromyography (EMG) was recorded from the forearm flexors/extensors, biceps brachii, trapezius middle/lower and latissimus dorsi for muscle activation. Using the resulting EMG data, which were filtered of electromyogram artifacts, we calculated the root mean squares (RMS).RESULTS: Dependent-sample t-test produced a result, muscle activity in forearm flexors (p<.01), biceps brachii (p<.01), trapezius middle (p<.01), trapezius lower (p<.01) and latissimus dorsi (p<.05) were significantly increased at thick grip compared to normal grip in pull-up exercise.CONCLUSIONS:This study suggested that the thicker the grip, the higher the muscle activation. Using a grip thickness as one of the variables for training programs is considered as a method to stimulate muscle activity.
Excitação de um condensado de Bose-Einstein: Um Experimento Pedagógico para transferência entre estados quânticos

Neste trabalho, utilizamos um condensado de Bose-Einstein de átomos de Rb, para analisar o efeito de campos externos perturbatórios sobre a distribuição de população de átomos em diferentes estados quânticos do potencial confinante. O campo externo oscilatório advém de flutuações indesejadas, oriundas do circuito eletrônico de controle e estabilização da corrente elétrica, fluindo pelas bobinas da armadilha magnética, que opera em frequências próximas às do potencial de aprisionamento. Mostraremos que isso promove o acoplamento entre níveis vibracionais adjacentes do potencial e resulta na difusão da população, inicialmente pura, para vários estados energeticamente próximos. Esse processo diminui o tempo de vida do condensado aprisionado e ainda causa um aumento da temperatura média do sistema conforme a população se difunde entre os níveis energéticos adjacentes superiores. Os resultados obtidos foram modelados via excitação por escalonamento e comparados diretamente, apresentando uma boa concordância. Acreditamos que esse estudo teórico-experimental seja pedagógico, pois permite que alunos iniciantes observem efeitos quânticos macroscópicos ocorrendo nestes sistemas físicos.

Resumo Objetivo compreender o mundo vivido do pai que possui um filho pré-termo hospitalizado por meio do registro fotográfico. Método estudo qualitativo fundamentado no referencial teórico-metodológico da Fenomenologia Social de Schütz. Participaram deste estudo nove pais que possuíam filhos internados em uma das duas unidades neonatais (UTIN/UCI), com idade gestacional inferior a 37 semanas, cujo nascimento ocorreu no período de novembro de 2018 a abril de 2019. Resultados após a análise e a interpretação dos dados coletados, emergiram duas unidades temáticas: Vivenciando momentos da hospitalização do filho pré-termo “motivos por que”, que resultou na categoria Privilégio em registrar a evolução do filho pré-termo; O que almejar do registro fotográfico frente ao momento de hospitalização do filho pré-termo “motivos para”, que resultou nas categorias Felicidade: uma alegria em cada registro; Lembranças: o recordar em cada registro. Considerações finais o uso do registro fotográfico mostrou ser um método que oportunizou compreender que o pai deseja estar próximo ao filho e vivenciar o momento de hospitalização. Desse modo, é necessário que os profissionais desenvolvam estratégias que possibilitem, ao pai, o exercício da paternidade e promovam o vínculo com o seu filho na unidade neonatal.
O estilo tardio em Giorgio Agamben
Authors: Klein Kelvin Falcão
Published: March 2021

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é resgatar a noção de “estilo tardio”, apresentada por Theodor Adorno em ensaio de 1937 e utilizada por Edward Said em livro de mesmo nome, publicado postumamente em 2006. Mais especificamente, o artigo investiga a produtividade hermenêutica de reler a produção mais recente do filósofo Giorgio Agamben a partir da noção de estilo tardio. A hipótese é a de que o recurso ao estilo tardio permite observar de forma privilegiada, na produção de Agamben, um peculiar e produtivo modo de abordar a historicidade dos textos e das imagens. Para aprofundar tal perspectiva, o artigo mobiliza dois grupos principais de obras do autor: em um primeiro momento, é feita a análise de um conjunto de ensaios publicados a partir de 2009; em um segundo e conclusivo momento, propõe-se a análise de dois livros recentes, Autoritratto nello studio, de 2017, e Studiolo, de 2019.

A Revista do Homem (Playboy) e a censura prévia na ditadura militar (1975-1976): entre a moral, os bons costumes e o homem contemporâneo
Authors: Greenhalgh Raphael Diego , Silva Carlos Henrique Juvêncio da
Published: March 2021

RESUMO A Revista do Homem, atualmente revista Playboy, surge na década de 1970, um período conturbado para os meios de comunicação no Brasil. Pois, desde 1968, com a instituição do AI-5, a censura era um dos meios utilizados pelo regime ditatorial para o controle de opiniões e, segundo seu discurso, preservação da família à luz da moral e dos bons costumes. Sendo uma revista erótica, seu conteúdo teve que passar pelo crivo da censura oficial, tendo seu conteúdo afetado pelos cortes impostos. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como os censores avaliavam o conteúdo veiculado n’A Revista do Homem e qual o impacto da censura prévia em suas edições. Esta pesquisa descritiva e histórica com análise documental de 122 pareceres da censura buscou entender as minúcias do processo censório no período estudado. Conclui-se que apesar do esforço da DCDP no controle moral, existia certa permissividade, principalmente pelo entendimento de certos censores de que a revista tinha um público bem definido.

Objetivo: analisar a evolução da mortalidade por COVID-19 no período de janeiro de 2020 a fevereiro de 2021 no Brasil. Métodos. Dados sobre todos os óbitos foram obtidos do Portal da Transparência, alimentado continuamente pelos cartórios civis do país. Foi considerado óbito por COVID-19 quando havia citação de COVID-19, coronavírus ou novo coronavírus como causa de óbito. As taxas de mortalidade por COVID-19 foram padronizadas por sexo e faixa etária, conforme estimativa populacional para 2020. Mortalidade por COVID-19 proporcional foi calculada por faixa etária e região, conforme o sexo. Mortalidade geral proporcional foi calculada por local de falecimento e região, conforme causa do óbito.  Resultados. Dos 1.596.130 óbitos registrados, 16% tiveram COVID-19 como causa básica, a taxa de mortalidade no Brasil foi de 119,9 por 100 mil habitantes, chegando a 410,5 em Roraima para o sexo masculino. Altas taxas foram encontradas principalmente na região Norte e as menores na região Nordeste. A maior proporção foi entre 70 e 79 anos de idade. A morte por COVID-19 em domicílio atingiu 3,8% dos óbitos na região Norte e 3,4% no Nordeste. Conclusões. O uso de dados do registro civil é de grande importância para o monitoramento atualizado da mortalidade por COVID-19, demonstrando que o país enfrenta, em 2021, aumento de óbitos e agravamento da pandemia.
