Działalność dobroczynna kobiet w gminach żydowskich w Rzeczypospolitej w XVI–XVIII wieku
Authors: Michałowska-Mycielska Anna
Published: December 2021

Charitable Activities of Women in Jewish Communities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Between the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Centuries Charity was an important form of social activity of women in Jewish communities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was also a manifestation of female piety. Charity is also an area—despite a clear distinction between gender and related social roles—where cooperation between men and women can be observed. Women were involved in charities as community officials, associates or members of charity brotherhoods, as well as acting individually. However, their activities were always largely subordinated and overshadowed by activities of men, and acting within the framework of community structures, they were subject to the regulations and control of men. It is also noticeable that women’s charitable work was less formalized than that of men, which was probably due to the fact that women were less mobile and relied on family and neighborly contacts in their activities.
Żydówki nauczycielkami religii w Galicji do 1914 roku
Authors: Maślak-Maciejewska Alicja , Trząsalska Anna , Vovchko Maria
Published: December 2021

The article describes the activities of Jewish women teaching religion in Galician public schools. The first women performed this profession in the 1870s, in the 1890s they were listed for the first time in the schematisms (the official lists of civil servants), in the next decade the first woman received a permanent teaching position, and in 1913 they were for the first time directly addressed in the job announcement for teachers of religion. Therefore, their position became more established toward the end of the autonomous period, although they still constituted an absolute minority in this professional group. The emergence of female teachers of religion raised protests among the male members of this professional group. They voiced three main arguments against granting women teaching positions: their alleged insufficient qualifications, the tradition of Judaism, and what they understood to be the “social justice” (according to which men deserved permanent teaching contracts more than women). The article discusses the chronology of granting women the positions of teachers of religion, describes the public debate on the subject, and addresses the issue of women’s professional qualifications. It is based on both printed and archival sources and on historical press.

Jewish Actresses From Poland in Shakespearean Roles In the Yiddish Theater

The article aims at analyzing the role played by Jewish actresses in the development of the Shakespearean Yiddish theater. The paper includes the profiles of artists coming from Poland and/or working in the Polish lands: Bertha Kalisch, Miriam Orleska, and Ester Goldenberg, who contributed to popularization of Shakespeare’s works among the Jewish community. Moreover, the article illustrates their contribution to the changes in the perception of Jewish theater from the “jargon drama” enterprise to an ambitious cultural institution with a Shakespearean repertoire. Among those discussed are the characters of Hamlet performed by Kalisch, Portia (The Merchant of Venice) played by Orleska, Jessica (The Merchant of Venice), and Ariel (The Tempest) interpreted by Goldenberg, and their assessment. The reception of these stage creations of Shakespearean heroes is analyzed on the basis of press materials published in daily newspapers and weeklies in Yiddish, Polish, and English. Some academic studies on the premieres of Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, and The Tempest with participation of Jewish female artists have already been conducted, but their authors did not analyze the roles performed by those actresses and did not refer to the sources in Yiddish at all. The article discusses not only the artistic activities of Kalisch, Orleska, and Goldenberg, but also attempts to analyze the reception of the characters created by the latter two artists from the perspective of the social and political relations in the Second Polish Republic. Moreover, efforts were made to show that Jewish actresses, by impersonating heroines and heroes of Shakespeare’s plays, proved with their style of acting, professional preparation, and understanding of the nuances of the performed characters that Yiddish theater definitely deserved to be called a temple of art. Their creations became an inherent part of the history of Jewish, and thus the world’s Shakespearean theater.
Między filarami opieki społecznej, pracy na polu kultury, upolitycznienia i feminizmu. Syjonistyczne „Koło Kobiet Żydowskich” we Lwowie (1908–1939)

Between the Pillars of Welfare, Cultural Work, Politicization, and Feminism: The Zionist “Circle of Jewish Women” in Lviv, 1908–1939 The Circle of Jewish Women (“Koło Kobiet Żydowskich”), founded in Lemberg/Lviv in 1908 and active until 1939, played a vital role in the organization of Zionist women in the city and other places in Eastern Galicia. It was founded, among others, by Róża Pomeranc Melcer, one of the pioneers of Zionist women’s associations in Galicia and the first and only Jewish woman parliamentarian in the Second Polish Republic. Nevertheless, the history of the Circle, as well as the work of its many active members—many of whom perished in the Holocaust—has been almost forgotten and is rarely explored. The author of the article argues that this organization not only represents social welfare, but it also embodies elements of social support, cultural work, politicization, and feminism. Therefore, the author emphasizes the role the Circle played in the process of organizing Zionist women in Lviv and Galicia before World War I and especially during the interwar period in the Second Polish Republic, and how it contributed to women’s emancipation. Thus, the history of one of the most important Zionist women’s organizations is reconstructed and its versatile work facets explored in more detail. * Niniejszy artyku łstanowi poprawionąi skróconą wersję dwóch rozdziałów na temat organizacji syjonistycznej, które zostaną opublikowane w antologii Women Zionists Worldwide, 1897–1945 Miry Yungman (w przygotowaniu).

Painters, Sculptors and Graphic Female Artists From the Kraków Association of Jewish Artists, 1931–1939

Eleven women belonged to the Kraków Association of Jewish Artists, active in the 1930s. They dealt with painting, graphic art and sculpture. Unfortunately, not much has survived from their achievements. One of the most interesting artistic personalities in this group was Henryka Kernerówna, educated in Vienna. From 1918 on, female artists younger than her could benefit from studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. In the reviews of the exhibitions of the Association, the gender of artists was rarely mentioned, except in some cases. The artists also belonged to other non-Jewish art groups. Most of them survived the war, but none of them remained in Kraków. Three of them were killed.
Zagłada i odrodzenie w twórczości ocalonej – łódzkiej malarki Sary Gliksman-Fajtlowicz (1909–2005)

Published: December 2021

The Holocaust and Rebirth in the Works of Sara Gliksman-Fajtlowicz, a Painter From Łódź, 1909–2005

Sara Gliksman-Fajtlowicz, a painter, came from a well-off family of Majerowiczs, the owners of opticians’ shops in Łódź. She studied at private painting and drawing schools in Łódźand Warsaw. Before the outbreak of World War II, she was active in the Polish art milieu. In 1933, she became a member of the Trade Union of Polish Artists (Związek Zawodowy Polskich Artystów Plastyków, ZZPAP) and participated in its exhibitions in Łódź, Warsaw, Kraków,and Lviv. She painted mainly landscapes, still lifes, and—less frequently—portraits. She published her works in the union magazine Forma. In 1940, she was displaced to the Łódźghetto where she worked as a graphic artist at the Statistics Department. Thanks to this she could obtain art materials. Her clandestine activity was documenting life in the ghetto in paintings and drawings. She survived the liquidation of the ghetto and then was forced to work on cleaning that area. Liberated on 19 January 1945, she returned to her house where some of her prewar works had survived. After 1945 she continued her artistic career and exhibited with the ZZPAP, as well as with the Jewish Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts. In 1957, she emigrated to Israel. Gliksman died in Tel Aviv in 2005. The aim of this article is to verify and describe Sara Gliksman’s biography, to present her activities in the Polish-Jewish artistic community of postwar Poland, as well as to place her works in the context of issues concerning survivors’ memory and artistic attitudes toward the Holocaust, and art as a manifestation of hope for the rebirth of Jewish life and culture in postwar Poland in the second half of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s.

“Parliaments of Mothers and Sisters”: Jewish Women’s Social Service in the Warsaw Ghetto

The article explores a broad range of social and aid activities of Jewish women in the Warsaw Ghetto under the aegis of the Jewish Organization for Social Care, known as Jewish Social Self-Help (JSS). Due to hard living conditions, those women were forced into increased outside activities, as well as taking protective actions in aid of strangers, individuals, and families alike. They founded women’s clubs in every house, alongside with many public soup kitchens, common rooms, day care centers and so-called children’s corners, the staff of which would consist mainly of women. All these facilities together formed the largest chain of self-help centers, next to the numerous ghetto House Committees.

Double Portraits, 1939–1956: Memoirs of Polish Jewish Women From Soviet Russia

During the first months following Germany’s attack on Poland, some members of the Jewish community managed to sneak away to the eastern frontiers of the country which had been invaded and annexed by the Red Army in the second half of September 1939. The tragic experiences of these refugees, heretofore somehow neglected by Holocaust scholars, have recently become the subject of profound academic reflection. One of the sources of knowledge about the fate of Jewish refugees from Poland are their memoirs. In this article the author reflects on three autobiographical texts written by Polish Jewish women, female refugees who survived the Holocaust thanks to their stay in Soviet Russia, namely Ola Watowa, Ruth Turkow Kaminska, and Sheyne-Miriam Broderzon. Each of them experienced not only the atrocities of war, but also, most of all, the cruelty of the Communist regime. All three of them suffered persecution by the oppressive Soviet authorities in different ways and at different times. While Ola Watowa experienced (in person, as well as through the fate of her family and friends) the bitter taste of persecution and deportation during WWII, Sheyne-Miriam Broderzon lived a relatively peaceful life in that period (1939–1945), and Ruth Turkow Kaminska even enjoyed the luxurious lifestyle reserved for the privileged members of the establishment, and it was not until the years immediately after the war that the latter two women would face the true image of Communism as its victims. The Wats managed to leave the USSR shortly after the war, whereas for the Broderzons and the Turkows the war would not end until the death of Stalin and their subsequent return to Poland in 1956. According to Mary G. Mason, the immanent feature of women’s autobiographical writings is the self-discovery of one’s own identity through the simultaneous identification of some ‘other.’ It is thanks to the rootedness of one’s own identity through the connection with a certain chosen ‘other’ that women authors can openly write about themselves. The aim of the article is to attempt to determine to what extent this statement remains true for the memoirs of the three Polish Jewish women who, besides sharing the aforementioned historical circumstances, are also linked by the fact that all of them stayed in romantic relationships with outstanding men (i.e. writers Aleksander Wat and Moyshe Broderzon, and jazzman Adi Rosner), which had an enormous impact not only on their lives in general, but also specifically on the creation and style of their autobiographical narratives, giving them the character of a sui generis double portrait.

Criminal Threats to the National Heritage – an Analysis of the Events of 2019

There are a variety of methods that may be used in the analysis of crimes against cultural heritage which allow us to determine the level of risk. A comprehensive study covering all instances of crime against cultural goods during the period of one year allows us to note tendencies in criminals’ behaviour and help develop methods of counteracting similar crimes in the future. Based on the results of several such case studies, it is then possible to assess the risk of crime against national cultural heritage in a much more appropriate manner and minimise its occurrence. This paper presents selected cases of crimes against cultural heritage that occurred in 2019.

The right to one’s image in an information society

This article is focused on selected aspects of the right to one’s image. The authors would like to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the legal nature of the right to one’s image. In our opinion, it is not adequate to meet the requirements presented by an information society. Concepts derived from analog techniques are inadequate to meet the requirements of the digital field. The commercialisation of images also means that rights of a personal nature (moral rights) as set by the law are treated as economic ones, which is accepted partially by the legal doctrine and recognized in jurisprudence. The conducted research is supported by the critical analysis of binding legal regulations (Articles 81 and 83 of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights) and followed by de lege ferenda proposals.
Miasta i ich symbole. Uwarunkowania prawne marketingowego wykorzystywania wyglądu znanych zabytków

Cities and their symbols. Legal conditions for marketing use of the appearance of famous monuments

The subject of this article is the legal ramifications of the commercial use of well-known landmarks by the cities where they are located. In fact, cities have played such a role and benefited commercially for many years, e.g. the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Tower Castle in London. Such a practice appears obvious but should be based on the local legal provisions in force and resulting limitations. After a detailed analysis of the law of property and copyright, the author argues that the owner of the landmark has not only an exclusive right to make physical use of it, but also the right to dispose of its image. In particular, these rights include the commercial use of this image in both possible forms, whether looking at the monument directly or enjoying it by looking at its photographs. Taking into account this legal position, a city can freely use its marketing images of its own landmarks, but in the case of third party owned monument, it will be necessary to sign a special agreement setting out the conditions of such use. Independently of property rights, a city will be obliged to also accept the rights of authors of projects referred to as “new monuments” as well as the rights of the authors of projects involving conservation, restauration, adaptation and modernization works. These rights include economic rights and authorship of the given works (moral rights). In case of reconstr

Commentary on the resolution of the Provincial Administrative Court in Poznań of 3rd July 2020, III SA/Po 261/20. Subsidy

The thesis of the resolution issued by the Provincial Administrative Court in Poznań is correct, although incomplete. Against the background of the issues contained in this thesis, a problem emerged related to the financing of an immovable monument located in another commune, owned by a local government unit other than the one in which the monument is located. In such a case, the commune, despite the fact that the monument is not on its territory, is responsible for financing renovation and conservation works to the monument as part of owner care. Additionally, it has the right to receive a subsidy pursuant to Art. 81 of the Act on the Protection of Monuments and the Guardianship of Monuments from the commune that has registered this monument in its records. It should therefore be emphasized that financing the protection and care of immovable monuments has two criteria. The first is the location of the immovable monument, and the second is the legal title to the monument. The first entitles one to receive a subsidy, while the second obliges one to finance these activities from one’s own funds. A commune that is the owner of an immovable monument on its territory will be deprived of the possibility of subsidizing the monument using the above-mentioned process. In turn, a commune responsible for a monument located in another commune will be able to finance its care from two sources, from subsidies and from its own resources.

Grid, schism and lobotomy: The Almere City Center as the “City of the Captive Globe” by Rem Koolhaas
Rem Koolhaas published Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan in 1978. He closes the book with a series of concise speculative projects to illustrate his point. The first of these, „The City of the Captive Globe”, is an ambiguous and constantly re-interpreted metaphor for metropolitanism and the lifestyle associated with it. Interpreted as a synthesis of the „retroactive manifesto”, Captive Globe allows us to grasp the ideological background of the urban design thought of Koolhaas and OMA, his design studio. Between 1995 and 2007 OMA carried out the project for the new City Center of Almere near Amsterdam. Through the three postulates of the City of the Captive Globe, the authors attempt an in-depth understanding of Almere master plan, going beyond the analysis of its formal features.

Deck-Access Housing in High-Density Downtown Areas: The Example of Paris

Increase in building density is one of the key methods of preventing uncontrolled urban sprawl. On the other hand, especially in the case of residential housing, high density entails a number of functional and spatial challenges that the current typologies are not able to fully describe. As a consequence, they transform, mix with each other, and often find new applications, different from their modernist prototypes. Such is the case of applying access decks layouts in contemporary residential buildings in high density downtown areas. This research study, using contemporary French designs as an example, attempts to characterise this type of development against the backdrop of the source modernist typology. The research area encompasses the central districts of Paris due to their extremely high density of development. The analysis of professional literature and available publications was adopted as a research method. In the course of the research, a number of common features in the analysed buildings was noted which may indicate a significant typological distinctiveness. Moreover, it was established that such structures may constitute a valuable supplement to the existing typology of residential buildings, especially if the ground floors feature functions with significant spatial requirements and if plots characterised by unfavourable shape or dimensions are being developed.

This article validates a proposed Customer Relationship Management conceptual framework for the Mauritian Hotel Industry based on identified critical success factors. The research provided insights on how different factors need to be considered to ensure a smooth implementation of a Customer Relationship Management strategy and to address the causes of Customer Relationship Management project failures. Extant reviews of the literature on Customer Relationship Management theoretical frameworks, Customer Relationship Management causes of failure, and critical success factors for Customer Relationship Management success were conducted and subsequently 33 items were identified. An exploratory factor analysis was done to validate the results of the survey followed by which a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to confirm the appropriateness of the proposed theoretical model, followed by a Structural Equation Model analysis conducted to validate the adequacy of the proposed model. The Structural Equation Model analysis confirmed the appropriateness of the proposed framework and confirmed the exactitude of each Customer Relationship Management success factor included in the framework. The design of the new proposed conceptual framework intends to provide a novel approach of in-depth knowledge on how to implement Customer Relationship Management in the Mauritian Hotel Industry and acts as a guideline for hotel managers to implement CRM successfully and to increase profitability.

Sustainable agritourism development is at the apex of contemporary discussions on sustainable tourism development as evidenced by enormous studies being done on this tourism concept. This review paper discussed the contributions of one hundred and five (105) research articles that were published in several tourism journals. The main objective of this paper was to establish the current state of literature on Success Factors (SFs) for sustainable agritourism development, identify research gaps, suggest areas of future study and draw lessons that are of importance to the development of agritourism in Zimbabwe. Statistical analysis was employed in order to establish the distribution of the sampled research articles over time, by continent, distribution by research method, distribution by research approach and distribution by research themes. The results of this study revealed that research on agritourism development is biased towards the developed countries, most of the research used qualitative research with focus more on the supply side and little has been done to establish the requirements and CSFs for the development of this tourism concept. The findings of this study provide a baseline upon which future studies in agritourism, could be build.

Local finances play an important role in society, as they are an objective form of economic relations at the level of administrative-territorial units and at the same time the main tool for implementing the policy of socio-economic development of regions. Under the conditions of decentralization, the wording of local finances has been changed, namely, it has been determined that the specific sphere of financial relations is the finances of a united territorial community. Their emergence is associated with the general implementation of reforms of local autonomy and organization of local government, and their further role depends on an in-depth study of theories and methods in this area. With the unification of territories and communities and the emergence of financial relations at the level of UTC has become an objective phenomenon of UTC finance, which requires detailed research through the prism of determining its role and place in the financial system, current challenges, strategic development and modernization.

The problem of monitoring the current state of security of sustainable development of old industrial regions of Ukraine lies in the need for structural modernisation of the industrial sector, i.e. the transition from extensive exploitation of the resource potential of industrially developed areas in the past to intensive production based on technological progress. The term “old industrial region” should be understood to mean a territory that was once industrially developed but is now in decline or in decline due to a lack of capacity or the unwillingness of industry owners to invest in the modernisation of production facilities, a significant lag in the applied production technology from the modern news, a lack of adaptability to the sustainable changes in industrial markets, etc.
FINANCIAL POTENTIAL OF THE INSURANCE MARKET: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Chvertko Liudmyla , Melnychuk Yuliia
Published: December 2021

The insurance market in each country is an indicator of the economy and sustainable business development. When the stability and well-being of a country reaches a certain level, both workers and employers begin to think about their future, to ensure their old age, to finance the risks that exist in everyone’s life, property insurance, and so on. The rapid aging of the world’s population is depleting the financial capacity of citizens, leading to low levels of health care and pensions. Insurance makes it possible to provide daily human protection – both today and in the future. This leads to two effects – the state has additional long-term funds that provide financing for investment projects, which contributes to the further development of the country’s economy; citizens receive insurance protection, savings for future periods, and thus – protection of human interests. The insurance market in Ukraine is at the stage of constant formation. The main obstacles and problems of its development are the unstable socio-economic situation at the present stage and the peculiarity of the cultural and historical traditions of Ukrainian society, the problems of the COVID–19 pandemic and unstable economic development. Therefore, even with significant changes in the legal framework, the insurance market is quite weak in the economy and requires changes in government regulation, namely: strengthening legal and economic mechanisms to protect the interests of the insured and encourage the public and employers to conclude contracts; improvement of investment and credit legislation, directions and spheres of activity of the insurer.
LENDING ACTIVITIES OF UKRAINIAN BANKS: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Vinnytska Oksana
Published: December 2021

An important and topical issue for Ukraine is the issue of improving the organizational, economic and legal foundations of effective lending activities of domestic banks. The ability of the latter to satisfy public needs for loans contributes to the development of the country’s economy. The stability of the banking system largely depends on the level of efficiency of banks’ lending activities. The revitalization of the lending activity of Ukrainian banks in recent years has been accompanied by a simultaneous decrease in its profitability, which is primarily due to the instability of financial markets, imperfect regulatory framework and a high level of competition. Under such conditions, the requirements for the quality of the management process in banks are growing, in particular, there is a need to develop new and improve existing methods for assessing and increasing the efficiency of lending activities.

Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Demchenko Tetyana
Published: December 2021

In the context of Ukraine’s integration into the world market, there is a growing interest in creating a control system for all stages of venture capital activities. The mechanism of effective management of venture activities of an enterprise should become a tool for establishing this system. The system of information flows is of great importance, which provides information to the process of making management decisions on a risky innovative project at a venture capital enterprise. The purpose of the venture business is to make a profit on the invested funds [1]. Unlike simple investment, venture capital is the most risky form of capital investment. However, if the project is successful, venture capital investment is the most profitable. Venture investment is, on the one hand, a way of financing the innovative vector of the economy, on the other, an innovative form of entrepreneurship. The main goal of venture capital financing is that the monetary capital of some entrepreneurs and the intellectual capabilities of others (original ideas or technologies) are combined in the real sector of the economy in order to bring profit to both types of entrepreneurship in a new company.

Authors: Miray Kışla Ekinci Rabia , Balcı Sibel , Hakan Erol Ahmet , Karagöz Dilek , Ufuk Altıntaş Derya , Bisgin Atıl
Published: December 2021

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the performance of Eurofever Registry and the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) classification criteria in pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

Patients and methods:This retrospective, cross-sectional study included a total of 130 pediatric FMF patients (67 males, 63 females; mean age: 12.4±3.6 years; range, 2.5 to 17.7 years) with at least one M694V mutation in MEFV gene between July 2010 and July 2019. Demographic features and disease characteristics were recorded. The control group was consisted of 41 patients (19 males, 22 females; mean age: 7.8±4.0 years; range, 2.1 to 17.8 years) with other hereditary autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs), including periodic fevers with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome (n=30), mevalonate kinase deficiency (n=9), and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (n=2). Sensitivity and specificity of the Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria were calculated.

Results: The sensitivity and specificity were 97.7% and 56.1% for Yalcinkaya-Ozen criteria, respectively and 93.1% and 90.2% for Tel Hashomer criteria, respectively. The Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria reached a sensitivity and specificity of 94.6% and 82.9% and 93.1% and 80.5%, respectively, when genetic plus clinical criteria and clinical-only criteria were applied.

Conclusion: The Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria have a comparable sensitivity for avoidance of FMF underdiagnosis in childhood. The Yalcinkaya-Ozen criteria have the highest sensitivity without a significant specificity. The Tel Hashomer criteria and Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria were superior to Yalcinkaya-Ozen criteria to differentiate FMF from other AIDs, thus leading to less complications relevant to underdiagnosis of other AIDs.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study aims to examine the frequency and clinical association of lupus-related vasculitis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records of a total of 565 SLE patients (42 males, 523 females; mean age: 32.7±9.5 years; range, 13 to 63 years) between January 2017 and February 2020. Demographic, clinical data, and laboratory data and treatment modalities applied were recorded. Lupus-related vasculitis and its different types were documented, and the patients with vasculitis were compared with those without vasculitis.

Results: The mean disease duration was 8.9±6.3 years. Vasculitis associated with lupus was found in 191 (33.45%) patients. Cutaneous vasculitis was found in 59.2%, visceral vasculitis in 34.0%, and both in 6.8% of total vasculitis patients. The patients with vasculitis had a longer disease duration (p=0.01), were more likely to have juvenile onset (p=0.002), livedo reticularis (p<0.001), Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) (p<0.001), digital gangrene (p<0.001), thrombosis (p=0.003), and cranial neuropathy (p=0.004). The patients with vasculitis showed a higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (p=0.045), diabetes mellitus (p=0.026), higher Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) at disease onset (p<0.001), and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Damage Index (p=0.003) scores. They had more prevalent hematological manifestations (p<0.001), hypocomplementemia (p=0.007), received a higher cumulative dose of intravenous methylprednisolone (p<0.001), and had also more frequent cyclophosphamide (p=0.016) and azathioprine intake (p<0.001). In the logistic regression analysis, SLE vasculitis was independently associated with juvenile disease onset, livedo reticularis, RP, hematological manifestations, and higher scores of SLEDAI at disease onset (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Juvenile disease onset, livedo reticularis, RP, hematological manifestations, and higher SLEDAI scores at disease onset may be associated with the development of vasculitis in SLE patients.

Patients and methods: Thirty-five female patients (mean age: 42.0±11.8 years; range, 21 to 62 years) diagnosed as FMS and 35 sex-and age-matched healthy controls (mean age: 43.7±8.8 years; range, 21 to 56 years) were enrolled in the study. MicroRNA measurements of the participants in plasma were carried out by using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). A total of 11 plasma levels of microRNA expressions were examined in both groups. The general health and functional status of the patients and controls were assessed by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale.

Results: No significant difference was observed between the plasma levels of microRNA expressions in patients with FMS and healthy controls. The plasma level of miR-320a expression was found to be negatively correlated with the total FIQ score in female patients with FMS (p=0.05, r=-0.34). Negative correlations were also detected between the plasma level of miR-320a and miR-320b expressions and the subscale score of SF-36 physical function in female patients with FMS (p=0.01, r=-0.43 and p=0.01, r=-0.43, respectively). A strong positive correlation was found between miR-142-3p and the subscale score of SF-36 mental symptom score in female patients with FMS (p<0.001, r=1.00).

Conclusion: The expression levels of microRNAs in plasma between female patients with FMS and controls were not significantly different. Only plasma levels of miR-320a, miR-320b, and miR-142-3p expressions were associated with the general health, functional status, and mental symptom score in female patients with FMS.

Published: December 2021

Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar la contribución pragmática de la tecnología en el ámbito educativo como catalizador del pensamiento crítico. El procedimiento metodológico, de corte cualitativo, fue de tipo exploratorio-descriptivo, el cual permitió la trazabilidad de la información para orientar el estado el arte a un terreno tético y teórico-conceptual. Entre los resultados se evidencia que, en el ecosistema educativo la esfera tecnológica es un catalizador del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje que posibilita la transformación socio pedagógica. La tecnología educativa como herramienta sistemática fortifica las prácticas educativas tradicionales e incide a una transformación activa de la escuela. El ecosistema educativo debe brindar una respuesta precisa a las necesidades estudiantiles (nativos digitales), los cuales encuentran motivación en las herramientas digitales. Se concluye que, la tecnología educativa como catalizador del pensamiento crítico en la escuela radica en permitir que los estudiantes aprendan y que alcancen habilidades para el siglo XXI.
Conceptualización epistemológica de las prácticas sociales enmarcadas en la alfabetización inicial en Venezuela
Authors: Arévalo Joamsner Magdalena , Leal Linoel
Published: December 2021

La concepción epistemológica de las prácticas sociales de alfabetización inicial (PSAI) encierra las creencias y preferencias con respecto a la enseñanza del lenguaje escrito, por lo que un análisis detallado de esta llevaría a un entendimiento de los enfoques de enseñanza puestos en práctica. Con esto en mente, se condujo una investigación de corte documental que partió de la revisión de los referentes filosóficos que rigen las PSAI en Venezuela, así como los planteamientos de diferentes autores entre otros, con respecto a los principales enfoques epistemológicos; todo esto con el objetivo de comprender las prácticas sociales enmarcadas en la alfabetización inicial en el país. Como resultado principal se puede señalar que el enfoque introspectivo-vivencial es el camino por el que transitan las PSAI, arropadas por los postulados filosóficos de Simón Bolívar, Simón Rodríguez, Ezequiel Zamora, Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa y Belén Sanjuán.

MODELO DE ORGANIZAÇÕES SOCIAIS INSERIDO NO HISTÓRICO DE REFORMAS ADMINISTRATIVAS NO BRASIL
Authors: Cabello Andrea , Vieira Natália
Published: December 2021

O artigo discute de forma histórica as principais reformas administrativas pelas quais o Brasil passou ao longo do século XX de modo a contextualizar a criação do modelo de Organizações Sociais (OSs) com foco em seu papel como mecanismo institucional de reestruturação do papel do Estado. São analisados a criação do DASP, a reforma de 1967 e a reforma de 1990, na qual foi criado o modelo OS, como resposta a um problema de crise fiscal e gerencial do Estado brasileiro. Discute-se seu uso no setor de saúde e ciência e tecnologia e suas vantagens frente a restrições fiscais impostas por leis como a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal e questiona-se a falta de análises mais profundas sobre o uso do modelo na literatura e por órgãos de controle.

QUR'ᾹN’S PROPHESY FOR ‘MOVING OBJECT’ OF FUTURE
Authors: Noamān Imām
Published: December 2021

Qur‘ān, the word of Allah (Lord-The Almighty), anticipated some 1400 years ago that a moving object will walk and communicate to humans on its own, called as 'Dāb-bah min al-‘Arḍ’. It further discloses that this will be a moving creature originating from earth and it will appear close to the occurrence of the Day of Judgment.  We hypothesized that this unique prophesy of the Quran; 'Daab-bah min al-‘Arḍ’, in the light of current technology advancements has started to emerge.  We analyzed that the invention of rotatory wheel which created the motion by non-living objects, dates back to 3500 B.C., being one of the first rotatory motions achieved. Presently this invention has been transformed computationally to robots, preprogrammed to move and talk. The evidences have been reported in scientific and scholarly literature which is pointing towards support of the Qur‘ānic foretold in future, not far. We conclude that this Qur‘ānic foretold is may be about the future robot to come, that will be independent to walk and communicate as per its own drive and this shall indicate the culminating point of the world.
