Authors: Mrdaković Sanela , Todorović Miloš
Published: December 2021

The spectacular economic development of South Korea in recent decades has continuously intrigued economists, academic community and general public. Whether such a development model be applied to other, less developed countries is one of the topics often explored in a number of studies and debates. Therefore, the principles of South Korean development model and the economic parameters of its foreign trade today, are some of the research aims of this paper. The research focuses on economic relations between South Korea and Serbia, current trends and prospects for future economic cooperation through the analysis of comparative advantage of the most prominent export products and industries, using the RCA index. The analysis shows that Serbia has a potential to further improve cooperation with South Korea in several export sectors, and coupled with investments in human resources and infrastructure, as well as the active promotion of Serbian market to South Korean companies, it may be one of the vectors of their future cooperation.
Modelling Development of Voluntary Pension Fund Using Mathematical Model of Approximation with Lagrange Interpolation Polynomials
Authors: Radojković Ivan , Ranđelović Branislav , Ilić Ivana
Published: December 2021

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), as a concept that tackles economic, The introduction of private pension funds is the essence of the reform of the pension system in Serbia. Private pension funds in Serbia are based on voluntary benefits. Thus, the functioning of the pension system takes place in three interconnected processes: payments to a voluntary pension fund, investment of free funds, and ultimately programmed payments – pensions. The stability in the voluntary pension funds and the predictability of payments allow the quality of investment portfolio to be formed and achieve a long-term yield of investment. In this paper, we implement a well-known approximation method of Lagrange polynomial interpolation. We use it in order to find appropriate mathematical model for prediction of the number of fund members and the average salary in Serbia. This calculation is based on data (average salaries and fund member) from the last five years, i.e. from the period 2015-2019. We calculated the exact mathematical formula, then we compared the results and predictions obtained with that formula and with the formula from one of our previous works. In keeping with that, the appropriate conclusions were given..
The need for integration of reading, critical thinking and academic reading skills: a quantitative analysis of Slovak undergraduates’ reading performance
Authors: Javorčíková Jana , Badinská Mária , Ližbetinová Lenka , Brett David
Published: December 2021

Based on recent research (Alderson, 2005; Khalifa and Weir, 2009), this study focuses on three areas of reading comprehension necessary for a successful academic career: general L2 EFL reading skills, more specific academic reading skills and critical thinking and reading. The study presents an analysis of quantitative research conducted in 2020, based on a sample of Slovak undergraduate students reading an academic text in English as L2 in EFL CLIL-formatted classes in humanities.

The respondents’ general reading skills were analysed in the context of their critical reading skills and academic preparedness. When tested for general reading skills, respondents were asked to identify implicit and explicit information and the gist of the text. Academic abilities were tested via the ability to identify the attributes of an academic text, such as the system of references, rational and logical language and causeeffect type of argumentation, which indicated the author and genre of the text. In order to evaluate participants’ critical skills with a focus on the social aspects of the text, respondents were asked to identify the importance of the text for themselves and for their community and life. The participants’ mean scores and differences in their performances on each task type were compared using descriptive statistics, and multiple analysis of variance. The results suggest that the general reading skills of university undergraduates in Slovakia are adequate, however, more difficulty was encountered with implicit, rather than explicit, tasks. Students also need to improve their critical reading skills and reading for academic purposes. The research outcomes highlight the need to hone the education of future linguists to the new needs of a more text-based society.

Blades Interaction and Non-Stationarity of Flow in Vertical-Axial Wind Turbines
Authors: Rozhkova Ludmila , Krenicky Tibor , Kuznetsov Eduard , Nahornyi Volodymyr
Published: December 2021

Until recently, horizontal-axial wind turbines with blades having a wing profile occupied a predominant position in the world wind energy market. But currently, vertical-axial wind units are of increasing interest and this is understandable from the point of view of their important features as: no requirements for the orientation of the wind turbine to the wind, the possibility of placing electrical and other equipment on the ground, no requirements for changes of blade chord installation angle along its length. The article discusses the aerodynamics of the vertical-axis wind turbines: the range of changes of angles of incoming flow attack on the blade, the dynamics of changes in the magnitude of the absolute speed of flow of the blade on a circular trajectory of its movement depending on the turbine rapidity, and also obtained in experiments interaction effect of the blades in the rotor. The experiments were carried out on wind turbines with original blades (basic version), which were designed to eliminate the shortcomings of low-speed rotors Savonius (low coefficient of use of wind energy) and high-speed rotors Darrieus (lack of self-start).

The article consists of two parts. The first identifies the research area, indicates the data used and the methodology of the conducted analysis, while the second presents the results of analyses in optimizing the functioning of public transport in Mińsk Mazowiecki (Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Poland) and recommendations that may contribute to disseminating the use of multi-criteria analyses in medium-sized cities.
Is there a Feminine Narcissism?
Authors: Clit Radu
Published: December 2021

Freud did not describe a feminine narcissism, but pointed out the importance of this structure in women, as well as that of masculine identifications. This theme is sought after by a writer, Herta Müller, in six of her novels. She uses the first person and has both male and female protagonists, whom she should, in principle, identify with. All her characters are confronted with narcissistic anxiety (Green), in a totalitarian social context. Narcissistic anxiety is close to the neurotic anxiety, whose forms are, according to Green, the penetration anxiety in women, and castration anxiety in men. At the narcissistic level, Green proposes the intrusion anxiety, in the feminine register, and separation anxiety, in the masculine register. In Herta Müller’s prose, male characters are weak, but rarely overcome with emotions, whilst female characters harbour strong feelings in their bodies. The man would be in a better position to project his anxiety towards the outside of the body, while the woman would feel it more on the inside. The situation would allow the hypothesis of feminine narcissism.
Personal Truth in the Shadow of Religious Truth
Authors: Gabriel Balaci
Published: December 2021

In this article I have chosen to approach the topic of personal truth, always subjected to repression, therefore being unconscious. This truth governs the choices in our lives, the attitudes and desires. Repression shows that this truth is unacceptable, unutterable – it must not be exposed, presented, or even consciously represented. When we discover it and manage its integration within the ensemble of our personality, we achieve the capacity to truly love and live, in an authentic manner.

The process towards uncovering this truth is difficult and involves many reorganisations on the level of psychic reality, of self-image, of relationships with others as well as with one’s self. The reaction when faced with this discovery is fear, and the reaction towards psychoanalysis, which facilitates the discovery of this truth, is hatred. When personal truth is repressed and its attempts at breaching the conscious are obstructed by perversely imposing a religious truth which excludes it and confers absolute power onto the superego before the ego, the analytic endeavour must lead to a reinvestment of the patient’s ego, so that, later on, the analyst can become the partner of this ego in the pursuit of personal truth.
Reflections on the Split Identity of Women in Turkey Over Century
Authors: Erdem Nilufer
Published: December 2021

This paper proposes to explain the split of female identity in Turkey in terms of veiled/non-veiled, by attributing it to the exclusion of female founding figures during the instauration phase of the Republic. Introducing the psychoanalytic aspect overlooked in relevant sociological studies, it argues that we can refer to “Republican Girls/Daughters” rather than “Republican Women” and tries to disclose the possible dynamics underlying the split character of female identity in Turkey. As a sample case, it refers to experiences narrated by the novelist Halide Edib, who is also a political figure. The purpose is to demonstrate that the confusion of generations results in the denial of the female figures and leads women on a social level to conflicting dynamics similar to mother-daughter relationship dynamics.
Genetic tolerance to Ceratocystis wilt in melina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)
Authors: Méndez-Álvarez Dawa , Murillo-Gamboa Olman , Badilla-Valverde Yorleny , Hernández-Castro William
Published: December 2021

Gmelina arborea is the second most planted tree species in Costa Rica, and one of the most important in several Latin American countries. In recent years, a disease caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata, has spread throughout Latin America, leading to the complete root of the tree in a few months. This study was conducted to evaluate the incidence, severity and genetic tolerance control of the Ceratocystis wilt in G. arborea. Data is based on a 2.4-year-old clonal trial, with 34 elite genotypes, at Río Jiménez, Guácimo in the Costa Rican Caribbean region. The variables diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, disease incidence and disease severity were evaluated. A pathogenicity index was proposed as a new selection criterion. SELEGEN (EMBRAPA) software was used for the evaluation of the genetic control in all traits investigated. Overall incidence rate was 39 % and severity was 13 %. Mean clonal heritability for severity was h2mc= 0.59 and for incidence h2mc= 0.47, these values were high evidencing that both traits are under a strong genetic control. The pathogenicity index becomes a useful discrimination criterion for ranking genotypes by their disease tolerance. An infection pattern inversely proportional to the DBH was observed. Although none of the 34 genotypes evaluated recorded total resistance to C. fimbriata, eight of these genotypes show strong genetic tolerance to the disease, and high productivity. Their use can be encouraging and will contribute to the reduction of Ceratocystis wilt impact in the country, as well as in the tropical Latin America region.

IDENTIFICATION OF PUBLIC MEDICINE STORAGE PROFILE IN THE COMMUNITY PHARMACY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Renita Dewi Kadek Valentina , Jaya Made Krisna Adi
Published: December 2021

Background: Drug is the most common form of therapy and an integral part of almost all levels of care. The conditions and proper way of storing medicines at home are important aspects of safe and effective drug treatment. Information about the knowledge of patients with appropriate storage conditions, rational drug use, appropriate drug use and management of various drugs is essential in helping pharmacists identify which medicinal products and aspects of home storage require more attention when counselling patients. Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to identify and characterize the mode of storage associated with home-stored pharmaceuticals. Methods: This systematic review analyzes the storage methods for medicines to identify and characterize the storage methods associated with medicines stored at home. The limitation of publication used, namely English and Indonesian in the last 10 years, and obtained through literature that can be considered relevant. Results: This systematic review was conducted in the period July, August, September 2020 - February 2021. As many as 20 journals were obtained. Those who met the inclusion criteria were 10 journals. Of the 10 journals that had met the inclusion criteria, 3 journals were excluded so that only 7 journals were used in the literature review / systematic review. The storage of medicines in the household is based on the presence of family members who have certain diseases so that they have to consume drugs in the long term, the presence of health workers, and the education level of family members. Problems that can arise with drug storage conditions are impaired drug stability and can accelerate drug degradation prematurely. Storage of medicines in the medicine cabinet and out of reach of children is highly recommended. Placement of drugs in one place without being separated and a lack of awareness in administering specific markings can increase drug administration errors and lead to non-compliance with over-the-counter drug use. The application of drug management in the family can improve the quality of life and avoid the adverse effects of drug misuse. Conclusion: This study raises relation to medicines stored inside homes that warrant addressing that need pharmacists regarding public education in relation to drug therapy that goes beyond the dispensing process. They were judging by the finding that pharmacists were not considered primary sources of drug-related information. Good practices should be encouraged through continued health education at health institutions and retail medicine outlets.

Decentralising Data Collection and Centralising Information in the People’s Republic of China: Decentralise, Manage, and Service Reforms
Authors: Trauth-Goik Alexander , Bernotaite Ausma
Published: December 2021

Xi Jinping’s ascent to power as Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was accompanied by changes in national governance strategies in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that have progressively incorporated the use of big data. Shortly after, in May 2015, the Chinese State Council released a set of policy reforms under the abbreviation fang guan fu 放管服 (decentralise, manage, and service). These reforms promoted big data led (1) market regulation, (2) supervision and management systems, and (3) service provision processes. By applying a case study analytical approach, this paper explores how advancements in big data contributed to these reforms aimed at centralising information in China. Combining the joint knowledge of surveillance and China studies scholarship, this paper offers evidence of big data surveillance streamlining China’s fragmented intergovernmental policy system. We build on David Murakami Wood’s 2017 outline of a political theory of surveillance and argue that decentralisation of data collection points and centralisation of both bureaucratic and public access to information are key components of the Party-state’s regulatory governance strategy incorporating the use of big data and comprehensive surveillance. Our findings have implications for future analyses of the relationship between political organisations and surveillance within other nation-state contexts, particularly in situations where Chinese technologies and systems are being adopted and adapted.

Authors: Diaz-Cruz Edgar S. , Thompson Sara , Hawkins Mary , Zengotita Borges Riguin , Jefferson Kathryn
Published: December 2021

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic continues to be a major global public health issue. Moreover, disparities continue to persist in HIV among racial and ethnic minority populations, with the highest rates of new diagnoses in Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men in the United States. Pharmacists are one of the most accessible and trusted health care professionals. Therefore, it is imperative that student pharmacists are educated on culturally-competent HIV testing and risk behaviors counseling. This study describes the development of a partnership between a pharmacy school and a community-based organization to offer an HIV counseling and testing training program to help develop skills in delivering HIV testing services. The HIV counseling and testing training program contains learning modules that provide a wide array of in-depth information about HIV patient care in the community. The partnership allows for the enjoyment of a myriad of benefits for students, the pharmacy program, the community-based organization, and the public health of the community-at-large. Students feel more prepared and comfortable working with patients in discussing HIV transmission risk factors and test results as a result of this training. Such partnerships support the pharmacist’s role in the public health arena. A successful and durable relationship between a community partner and a school of pharmacy is a feasible strategy for pharmacy progress in public health.

Utilization of phytohormones for successful crop production under environmental stress conditions
Authors: Faiq Mohammad Hussain , Noori Mohammad Safar
Published: December 2021

Stress is an external factor that exerts a detrimental effect on overall growth of a plant. Environmental stress is a serious threat for sustainable crop production, and a main cause for food insecurity. Agricultural crops are exposed to a variety of environmental stresses including extreme temperatures and unfavorable chemical and physical soil conditions. Drought stress adversely affects some physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including transpiration, translocation of assimilates and nutrient metabolism. Salinity stress is responsible for loss of turgor, reduction in growth, wilting, leaf abscission, reduction in photosynthesis and respiration, loss of cellular integrity, tissue necrosis and finally death of the plant. Drought and salinity stress negatively affects the growth and yield of crop plants more than all the other stresses combined. Cold stress affects cellular components and metabolism, and temperature extremes impose stresses of variable severity that depend on the intensity and duration of the stress. Many approaches are being used to alleviate the deleterious effects of environmental stresses on successful agricultural crops production in recent years.  Application of phytohormones (Abscisic acid, Indole-3-Aacetic Acid, Jasmonic acid and salicylic acid) is one of the curative measures to mitigate the environmental stresses in agricultural crops. Phytohormones play a significant role in enhancing stress tolerance and therefore, reduce the yield loss in crop plants. In this paper, the impacts of environmental stresses on productivity and physiological activities of crop plants, and the effective role of some phytohormones in alleviation of environmental stresses have been reviewed.
dolor que inclina á la melancolía religiosa y al amor de Jesucristo: versos fúnebres en la reconvención de José Manuel Groot al catolicismo (1842-1852)
Authors: Ardila Gutiérrez Javier Ricardo
Published: December 2021

Este artículo analiza los motores de la reconvención al catolicismo de José Manuel Groot (1800-1872), conocido artista, literato, historiador y escritor polemista bogotano. El análisis de un cuaderno manuscrito, en el que Groot consignó poesía y bosquejos poéticos entre 1842 y 1851, clarifica el impulso emocional que lo llevó a abandonar las enseñanzas de su juventud librepensadora y refugiarse fervorosamente en la religión católica. Gracias a las reflexiones teóricas y metodológicas de la historia de las emociones y de los conceptos, es posible preguntarse por las experiencias personales que motivaron la reconvención. Más allá de razones políticas o ideológicas, es posible afirmar que Groot abrazó el catolicismo en busca de un paliativo inmediato para su pena, y su desengaño del filosofismo estuvo fundamentado en la imposibilidad para afrontar la muerte con herramientas de la razón filosófica. Las reconversiones públicas fueron recurrentes durante el siglo XIX en Colombia; sin embargo, son un tema poco tratado aún su elocuencia para ver las relaciones culturales, religiosas e intelectuales. El caso de Groot —una reconvención temprana en el siglo— es un llamado a incorporar las emociones en el análisis de procesos sociales originados en lo privado pero con incidencia pública.
Evaluation of Specific Risk Factors and Outcomes of Colistin-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections in a Tertiary Care Centre - An Observational Study
Authors: Shastri Prakash , A Shankarnarayan Shamanth
Published: December 2021

Background: Incidence of multidrug resistant Klebsiella pnumoniae infections are increasing globally especially in ICUs. Aim: We evaluated the burden of colistin resistant K. pneumoniae (ColR KP) and the risk factors associated with the outcome of these patients. Methods: Consecutive patients developing K. pneumoniae infections were included. K. pneumoniae from endotracheal tube and catheterized urine sample, having cell count <105 cfu/ml, and which did not necessitate a change in antibiotics as per the treating physicians was considered as colonizer. Demographic and clinical details were collected and samples were processed as per standard protocol. Any growth was identified and its antimicrobial susceptibility was carried out by using Vitek 2 automated system. Minimum inhibitory concentration of >4 μg/ml for Colistin was considered as resistant. The resistant isolates were confirmed with Broth microdilution method. Risk factor associated with the outcome of ColR KP was analyzed. Findings: Burden of K. pneumoniae infection was 50.02 per 1000 admissions. K. pneumonie (n=155) was isolated from patients with ventilator associated pneumonia (84, 54.2%), followed by blood stream infection (49, 31.6%) and urinary tract infection (22, 14.2%). ColR KP and intermediate (ColI KP) isolates were 58 (37.41%) and 97 (62.6%) respectively. Among ColR KP infected patients 32 (55.1%) died whereas 26 (44.8%) patients were discharged. Higher mortality was witnessed in ColI KP cases (75, 77.3%) compared to ColR-KP cases (32, 55.1%) (p=0.004; OR=2.77; 95% CI=1.37 to 5.59). Colistin resistance and presence of central line were independently associated with mortality. Conclusion: Colistin resistant K. pneumoniae infections among ICU patients are on rise. Presence of central venous catheter and resistance to colistin were independent predictors of mortality.

Este estudo buscou analisar, em uma amostra representativa da população brasileira, as prevalências de aceitação de políticas relacionadas ao acesso, promoção, prevenção e tratamento dos problemas relacionados ao uso do álcool, bem como sua anuência para possíveis mudanças. Investigou, ainda, o perfil dos indivíduos não favoráveis às políticas por meio de avaliação da associação com variáveis sociodemográficas, consumo de outras substâncias psicotrópicas, acesso a campanhas de prevenção e exposição a propagandas de bebidas. Trata-se de estudo com desenho transversal usando dados do I levantamento Nacional de Álcool e Drogas. Uma amostra de 3.007 participantes responderam escalas sobre 16 políticas restritivas. Uma escala de aceitação foi criada, e o grupo dos 5% que menos aderiam às políticas foi analisado. As associações foram realizadas através de modelos ajustados de regressão logística (StataSE10). Observou-se que a maioria da população investigada apoia as políticas vigentes, assim como a implementação de novas leis de restrição ao consumo de álcool. Os fatores preditores de não aceitação das políticas foram: ser homem, jovem, sem relacionamento estável, com maior escolaridade, não religioso e tabagista. O uso substâncias ilícitas e abuso e/ou dependência de álcool também foram associados a não adesão às políticas de restrição avaliadas. As políticas referindo tratamento para o alcoolismo e restrição de propagandas foram as mais aceitas.Incentiva-se iniciativas de esclarecimento da importância das políticas de saúde pública direcionadas ao perfil do público menos adepto.
Retardo mental: detecção precoce
Authors: Kuczynski Evelyn
Published: December 2021

Este artigo se propõe a abordar a questão do retardo mental e sua detecção precoce, uma vez que tal processo determina a possibilidade de prevenção, assim como de abordagem terapêutica, reabilitação e prognóstico. O progressivo interesse da Saúde Mental brasileira pela questão do continuum autista vem se processando de maneira superficial, em detrimento da identificação e condução dos casos de retardo mental (muito mais frequentes). A detecção de casos de autismo cresceu dramaticamente nos EUA (de 1996 a 2007). Não se sabe quanto deste crescimento (ou todo ele) se deve a alterações na prevalência do autismo. A qualificação do psiquiatra (e de outros profissionais da Saúde) carece de intimidade com esta entidade clínica, tão variada e heterogênea.

A psiquiatria forense é a especialidade médica que realiza o diálogo entre a psiquiatria e o direito. Quanto aos aspectos relacionados ao gênero, alguns temas têm recebido destaque na literatura acadêmica da psiquiatria forense: a Lei Maria da Penha, principalmente para a avaliação dos danos psíquicos decorrentes da violência psicológica; o infanticídio, caracterizado pelo estado puerperal da mãe; o filicídio, que pode ou não ser decorrente de transtorno mental materno; e os transtornos mentais perinatais, em especial a disforia pós-parto, a depressão maior perinatal e o transtorno psicótico perinatal. Profissionais devem estar atentos ao nexo de causalidade entre transtorno mental e o ato ou omissão da mulher e sua capacidade de entendimento e determinação diante do evento.
