El disparate de la antigua lírica al impreso popular: fórmulas y personajes animales
Authors: Vázquez Carbajal Martha Fernanda
Published: December 2024

This article will discuss a selection of nonsense broadsheets published by Antonio Vanegas Arroyo (1880-1927) and Eduardo Guerrero (1900-1959) and compare them with some examples of old Spanish popular lyric poetry and the traditional songs of the 20th century. The emphasis will be placed on the satirical and burlesque aspects of broadsheets, recurring formulaic resources, and the importance of using lists to create a sense of coherence in the absurd, especially when it comes to animal characters. All of this is done in order to draw a line in «traditional poetry» that allows the songs to be linked from old lyrics to popular Mexican printed literature of the 20th century.

Artificial Intelligence, its Creative-Destruction Impact on Employment In Global Economy
Authors: Balkanlı Ali Osman
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is participating more and more in the lives of the world's humanity day by day. Artificial intelligence, which first appeared as simple apparatuses and their behaviors, has begun to enter our lives more effectively over time. Artificial intelligence emerged based on three basic facts. First of all, behind artificial intelligence are electronic developments. Secondly factor is development of information-processing technology at the support of electronics. The third developer element of AI is humanity's move to the information society and the archiving and digitization of information as a result of transformation into an information society. At today's level of development of artificial intelligence, concerns that unemployment may increase in societies due to the participation of artificial intelligence in economic life seem to have increased. In this context, in this article, firstly, the elements that constitute and reveal artificial intelligence are revealed. Then, possible relation between AI and employment were researched. According to the research, it has been seen that artificial intelligence studies will increase and develop over time, and with this development, artificial intelligence will cause machines to replace people in jobs that involve routine and automated labor force. However, it is also possible that new job areas will arise and production increases will occur in the process. In this case, it should be expected that in the future, on an economic level, the need to improve the qualifications of the workforce in line with changing job conditions will be more prominent than the unemployment of the workforce.

El México rojo: Entropic Humour, Naturalism, and Death in Luis Buñuel’s El río y la muerte and Ensayo de un crimen
Authors: Kenny Ivan
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes death, violence, and machismo in two Mexican films by Luis Buñuel, El río y la muerte (1954) and Ensayo de un crimen (1955), starting from a naturalist perspective (Deleuze, 1986) and applying the concept of “entropic” humour (O’Neill, 1990). Despite numerous studies on surrealist humour in Buñuel’s films, it is necessary to investigate how his “peculiar” black humour operates, both in his naturalist works and in a Mexican context, “the chosen land of black humour” (Breton, 1941). I contend that both films satirically link violent impulses and stereotypical cultural constructions surrounding death in Mexico.
La vorágine: paramilitarismo antes del paramilitarismo
Authors: Bernal Benavides Juanita
Published: December 2024

Este artículo considera el orden de la acumulación en La vorágine y entiende el entramado de individuos armados que lo sostiene como paramilitares, cuestionando así la narrativa del paramilitarismo como fenómeno reciente. Propone que los paramilitares de principios del siglo XX lucharon una guerra perpetua contra un enemigo absoluto, y que La vorágine desvela el horror paramilitar sobre el que el Estado nación moderno colombiano se establece. Sostiene que, en su denuncia de los crímenes del Putumayo, la novela llama al Estado a luchar una guerra similar a la paramilitar: por la expropiación y la explotación de la tierra.
Those Who Re(count) Matter: Fiction and Testimonial in Emiliano Monge’s Las tierras arrasadas
Authors: Long Ryan F.
Published: December 2024

Las tierras arrasadas exemplifies the contribution that literary form makes to representations of the violence Central American migrants suffer in Mexican territory and of the stories they tell. My analysis compares the incorporation of actual migrants’ testimonials with the words associated with Merolico, a fictional migrant who, decades earlier, committed atrocities in an unnamed Central American counterinsurgency. The novel situates the migration crisis in a hemispheric context that elucidates an economy that depends upon the absolute commodification of human beings. I conclude that the intertextual structure of Tierras undermines forms of temporality and subjectivity that sustain such an economy.
Ethnographic Seeping in Mid-Twentieth-Century Mexican Cinema
Authors: García Blizzard Mónica
Published: December 2024

This article argues that the impact of what Lomnitz has termed Mexico’s “national anthropology,” which structured indigenismo and mestizaje as official institutional projects, also reverberated in the representation of Indigeneity in Mexican mid-twentieth-century cinema. Proposing the concept of “ethnographic seeping,” this study illustrates how the ethnographic mode recurs parenthetically in commercial and independent Indigenous-themed narrative films intended for popular audiences and/or prestige venues. While ethnographic seeping enacted a distanced and appropriative relationality between spectators and Indigenous Mexicans, it also functioned critically to contest official aims and perspectives.
Hotel Heterotopia: The Locus of Crisis in El hombre solo and Esos cielos by Bernardo Atxaga
Authors: Posey Alison
Published: December 2024

In this article, I expand upon Olaziregi’s foundational investigation of heterotopias in El hombre solo (1994) in order to further elaborate on the function of the hotel site in both this and Atxaga’s subsequent 1995 novel, Esos cielos. Through a comparative analysis of these novels – both foundational texts in the development of new narrative of the Basque conflict in the nineteen-nineties – I argue that the hotel functions as a heterotopia of crisis, and that the protagonists’ presence there catalyzes the fundamental dilemma of contemporary Basque identity lying at the heart of both novels.
Los últimos Austrias en el teatro romántico español con música de Ramón Carnicer
Authors: Barba Dávalos Marina
Published: December 2024

En 1837 se estrenaron en el Teatro Príncipe de Madrid dos dramas protagonizados por los últimos reyes de la dinastía de los Austrias en España, Felipe IV y Carlos II: La corte del Buen Retiro de Patricio de la Escosura y Carlos II, el Hechizado de Antonio Gil y Zárate. En este estudio se analizará cómo difiere el tratamiento de la monarquía en ambos dramas y cómo se refleja en la música del maestro compositor Ramón Carnicer.
El cine como patrimonio afectivo en Arrebato de Iván Zulueta
Authors: Moure Pazos Iván
Published: December 2024

Tras la resaca de más de 40 años de dictadura franquista, Iván Zulueta “irrumpe” en el panorama cinematográfico español con una obra tan inclasificable como vanguardista: Arrebato (1979). Se trataba de un filme tremendamente rupturista, tanto en el abordaje de las temáticas tratadas (drogas, sexo, y esmerada renovación de la tradición vampírica) como en su valiente concesión a la experimentación sonora y visual tomada del cine underground neoyorkino y barcelonés de los años 60 y 70. Pero, Arrebato, fue, ante todo, un filme autobiográfico, autorreferencial y visionario. Zulueta y Arrebato convergen y se entreveran en un mismo e inequívoco relato de fantaterror. El presente artículo despeja las claves interpretativas de esta relación siamesa entre el autor y su única obra testamentaria, aportando nuevas apreciaciones sobre una de las películas más singulares del catálogo fílmico español.

From Saudi to Social Media: Arabization of Islam Via Salafi Instagram Accounts in Indonesia
Authors: Nursyabani Mirza
Published: December 2024

This paper argues that Salafists, through the use of social media platforms like Instagram, are not only disseminating their interpretation of Islamic teachings but also serving as representatives of the Arabization of Islam in Indonesia. In support of this argument, this research involved an ethnographic data search by randomly sampling Instagram accounts that spread Salafism and are linked with the Arabization of Islam.  The focus was specifically on the @dakwah_tauhid and @mahasiswa salaf Instagram accounts. It is argued that social media, particularly Instagram, serves as a modern platform for Salafists to propagate Islamic teachings based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. Through consistent content creation, they have garnered hundreds of thousands to a million followers, indicating their value in the Muslim community in Indonesia. Coupled with using social media like Instagram to preach ‘pure’ Islam, these accounts also function as influencers that contribute to the Arabization of Islam in Indonesia. This is evident in several aspects of their content, which emphasizes the Saudi interpretation of Islam. This includes referencing religious rulings (fatwas) issued by Saudi ulama, showcasing lectures by scholars who graduated from Saudi institutions, and promoting educational institutions in Indonesia that are managed by Saudi-trained graduates.
Theo-anthropocentric Paradigm of Tafsir At-Tanwir by Muhammadiyah and its Application in the Interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah/2: 286
Authors: Basri Muhammad Ridha , Nahar Muhammad Hasnan , Bariqi Sirajuddin
Published: December 2024

This article examines the shift in meaning offered by Tafsir At-Tanwir by the Tarjih and Tajdid Council of PP Muhammadiyah towards surah al-Baqarah/2: 286. Tafsir At-Tanwir understands that the fragment of the verse lahā mā kasabat in that verse does not only mean recompense in the hereafter but also rewards in the world. Through the descriptive-analytical research method, the writer finds that the shift in meaning cannot be separated from the interpretation paradigm used by Tafsir At-Tanwir, namely the theo-anthropocentric paradigm. Theo-anthropocentric paradigm is a synthesis of the-centrism and anthropocentric paradigms. With this paradigm, Tafsir At-Tanwir carries the theory of corrective distributive justice as a form of correction to the theory of distributive justice proposed by John Rawls with the principle of proportional difference. The basic principle of this theory is that everyone gets rewarded according to their contribution. Tafsir At-Tanwir corrects this principle by stating that some people cannot possibly contribute due to special circumstances, such as physical disabilities or old age. For them, there is a wealth distribution mechanism with worldly and hereafter dimensions, such as through zakat, infaq, and alms. The development of the meaning of surah al-Baqarah/2: 286 is an implication of theo-anthropocentric paradigm.
Comparison between fates of pregnancies with chorionic bumps with normal controls
Authors: Elhabashy Ahmed , Farag Mohamed , El-Said Rehab
Published: December 2024

Background: Chorionic bump (CB) represents an arterial hematoma in the chorionic plate early in pregnancy. It appears as focal rounded protrusion of the chorion (the early placenta) into the gestational sac (GS). The aim of our study is to explore the fate of such pregnancies in term of risks of miscarriage, preterm labour, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD).
Methods: This study is a retrospective case control study that entailed 1700 cases referred to a tertiary center at a gestational age window 6-10 weeks, between April 2018 and April 2024. CB was diagnosed if there was focal rounded protrusion of the chorion into the gestational sac that was separable from the yolk sac and the fetal pole.
Results: 12 cases where diagnoses at the initial visit as having chorionic bump (i.e. 0.7% of cases). 8 cases of them continued their pregnancy normally without any complications till full term (i.e. 67% of CB cases give live birth). 4 cases of CB had been documented as failed pregnancy (miscarriage) on the follow up scan that was scheduled 3 weeks after the initial scan (i.e. 33% of CB cases had experienced spontaneous abortion). The incidence of failed pregnancy in the controls (that did not have CB) at the initial scan was 17%.
Conclusions: Although the risk of spontaneous abortion in cases who had CB detected early in pregnancy is higher than normal controls (33% versus 17% respectively); most of such cases continues their pregnancy normally with 67% live birth rate.
Evaluating clinical opinions on the efficacy and tolerability of a novel human milk oligosaccharide-based human milk fortifier containing lactoferrin, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid
Authors: Wazir Sanjay , Gupta Shelly
Published: December 2024

Background: To gather and analyse the opinions of healthcare professionals regarding the effectiveness and tolerability of a novel human milk oligosaccharide (HMO)-based fortifier containing lactoferrin, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) in neonatal nutrition.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among neonatologists and paediatricians who have utilised the novel HMO-based human milk fortifier (HMoF) in their clinical practice. Participants were asked to provide their feedback on various parameters including nutritional adequacy, growth outcomes, tolerance, and overall clinical efficacy.
Results: Majority of respondents reported positive outcomes in terms of enhanced growth parameters, improved gastrointestinal tolerance, and overall health of the infants. The fortifier was particularly noted for its role in supporting the overall growth of the infants including weight gain, length gain and head circumference gain due to the presence of HMOs, lactoferrin, DHA, and ARA.
Conclusions: The novel HMO-based human milk fortifier containing lactoferrin, DHA, and ARA has garnered a favourable and positive opinion by healthcare professionals and demonstrates potential benefits in enhancing neonatal nutrition and health outcomes.
MRI-based morphometric analysis of corpus callosum dimensions in adults: Impact of age and gender in Kashmir
Authors: Majeed Insha , Khan Naseer Ahmad , Bhat Gulam Mohammad , Wali Aabru
Published: December 2024

The Corpus callosum (CC) serves as the primary interhemispheric connection within the human brain, facilitating rapid information exchange and integration between the cerebral hemispheres, thus supporting complex cognitive functions. This study aims to explore the variations in corpus callosum (CC) dimensions across different age groups and genders, shedding light on the structural changes within this population.

The present study was conducted within the premises of the Department of Anatomy, GMC Srinagar, spanning a duration of one year. During the study duration, a total of 5,921 images were meticulously reviewed, out of which 300 images met the stringent inclusion criteria and were consequently enrolled in the investigation. Measurements included fronto-occipital diameter, anteroposterior length, and dimensions of the genu, body, rostrum, and splenium.

The mean fronto-occipital diameter in the midsagittal plane was analyzed, revealing values of 163.21 ± 19.80 mm for males and 159.08 ± 22.8 mm for females. However, no statistically significant difference between genders was found (p = 0.08). The average anteroposterior length of the corpus callosum was measured at 74.81 ± 6.7 mm, with a height of 24.81 ± 1.03 mm. Additionally, the mean diameters of the genu, body, rostrum, and splenium were observed to be 10.8 ± 2.7 mm, 5.42 ± 2.9 mm, 3.79 ± 1.7 mm, and 10.79 ± 3.01 mm, respectively The analysis revealed significant age-related variations in CC dimensions, particularly in length (r = 0.389, p = 0.003), genu (r = -0.188, p = 0.02), height (r = 0.302, p = 0.004), and splenium (r = -0.387, p = 0.001). While no significant gender differences were observed in CC dimensions, age correlated positively with CC length and height but negatively with genu and splenium dimensions.

These findings underscore the dynamic nature of CC morphology across the lifespan and highlight avenues for further investigation into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these age-related changes.
Functional and radiological outcome of distal tibial fractures treated with anterolateral plate compared with medial locking plate.
Authors: Rathore Khushwant Singh , Meena Nitesh K , Singh Vinay K , Bansal Mahesh C
Published: December 2024

Tibia is commonly fractured long bone with subcutaneous location vulnerable to frequent injury. Lack of proper vascularity and soft tissue cover leads to delayed healing and higher complication rates in the distal fractures of tibia. Adult distal metaphyseal extraarticular and intraarticular fractures of tibia are a challenge for an experienced surgeon. Important clinical variables affecting the clinical results are the type of fracture, associated soft tissue injury, method of treatment and the quality of reduction. This study aims to evaluate and compare clinical and functional outcome of medial and anterolateral locking plates in these fractures.

A prospective study was conducted at NIMS University Rajasthan from July 2019 to May 2021. Total 36 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study, 30 were males, 6 females. Mean age was 38.78±9.09 years. 5(13.9%) were AO type A1, 17(47.2%) were A2, 7(19.4%) were A3 and 7(19.4%) were C1. 32(88.9%) had associated fibula fractures. 28(77.8%) were closed fractures and 8(22.2%) were Gustilo grade I open fractures. Mean interval between injury and surgery was 8.5±3.62 days. Anterolateral LCP was used in 22 patients (Group A) and medial LCP was used in 14 patients (Group B). The results were analyzed using Microsoft excel and SPSS software. P value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Mean time taken for full weight bearing and radiological union was 17.4 weeks in Group A and 18.2 weeks in Group B with a standard deviation of 5.79. Mean functional score was 80.82 in Group A and 78.50 in Group B with a p value of 0.523 which was not statistically significant. Number of early complications in Group A was 3 and Group B was 8, while the number of late complications in group A was 2 and group B was 2 respectively.

Both medial plating and anterolateral plating yields comparable functional outcome in our study. Complication of superficial infection, wound dehiscence was observed higher with medial plate. Authors would recommend use of anterolateral plates in distal tibia fractures where either approach or plates could be used.

We aimed to study ­­­the effectiveness of concept mapping as an effective tool in learning clinical aspects of Biochemistry.

Prospective interventional study was conducted on total 148 (n=148) first MBBS Medical Students of Government Medical College, Akola, admitted during academic year of 2018 Participants were categorised into two groups: Group I - designated as Interventional group-CM (n=74), where concept-map approach was adopted to taught clinical case based biochemistry content. Group II – designated as Didactic lecture -DL (n=74) and students were exposed with the traditional lecture-based approach to taught the same content. Responses were recorded by using questionnaire as a research tool. It includes specific questions (open and close ended questions) with the goal to understand a topic from respondent’s point of view.

By applying unpaired “t” test, the students in group I (CM) significantly outperformed (p-value < 0.0001) as compared to group II (DL). The mean ± SD values of the test scores to assess the academic performance in group I (CM) & Group II was found to be 13.46 ± 1.59. 10.83 ± 1.55 respectively. In addition, we also observed that students of group I performed significantly well irrespective of gender distribution as compared to Group II.

Present study indicates that students were able to integrate clinical aspects of biochemistry effectively by virtue of using Concept mapping as interventional strategy and assists them in correlating the clinical knowledge of biochemistry with disease symptoms by enhancing critical thinking and reasoning ability.

Published: December 2024

Thrombocytopenia, which signifies a low platelet count usually below 150 × 109/L, is a common finding following or during many viral infections. Viral infection innate and adapt immune response where platelets play a passive role in antiviral activity. The patients with viral infection are at risk of developing decreased platelet count and develop the chance of bleeding. The present study designed to find the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection.

: A descriptive cross section survey design used to identify the prevalence rate of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection in India the cities studied are Lakhimpur 960 patients, Panipat 1345 patients, Sonipat 1357 patients, Gohana 758 patients, Delhi 1165 patients, a total 5585 patients diagnosed with viral infection samples were selected of which 395 patients developed thrombocytopenia, the samples were analyzed at various selected diagnostic centers.

: The present study found that in Lakhimpur for 960 patients with viral infection 48 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Panipat for 1345 patients with viral infection 118 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Sonipat for 1357 patients with viral infection 85 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Gohana for 758 patients with viral infection 49 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia and in Delhi for 1165 patients with viral infection 95 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia respectively. The overall prevalence of thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection is 7.07%.

Viral infection caused due to any virus triggers the immune response where in platelets act as passive bystanders during viral infection, the knowledge of viral infection and better management of infection bring down the thrombolytes and cause thrombocytopenia. The present study identified the prevalence of the thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection.
To study correlation between serum uric acid levels and the presence and degree of pre-clinical target organ damage in hypertensive population

Published: December 2024

High blood uric acid levels are associated with the emergence of hypertension.This study sought to examine the connection between elevated uric acid levels and the prevalence of organ damage in the hypertensive population because elevated uric acid levels are linked to hypertension.

A sum of 200 patients (aged 32 to 70) were enrolled in this observational analytical case-control study between April 2021 and March 2022; of these, 150 had been diagnosed with untreated essential hypertension and were categorized into hypertension stages 1 and 2 according to the Joint National Committee's 7th and 8th editions of their guidelines. The control group consisted of 100 individuals of same age and gender who were otherwise healthy. Proformas were used to ensure all necessary clinical as well as laboratory information was recorded.

Among the hypertensive people in our research, 20% (N= 20) had LVH. In cases with LVH, serum uric acid levels averaged 5.92±1.39 mg/dL, but in those without the disease, they averaged 4.67±1.18 mg/dL (P<0.001). The occurrence of hypertension in hypertensives with CAD was 15% (N= 15). Patients with CAD had a mean Sr. uric acid level of 5.71±1.23, whereas those without CAD had a level of 4.61±1.19 (P< 0.001). 12.0 percent of hypertensive people (N=12) had nephropathy. The typical level of serum uric acid in people with kidney failure was 5.831±1.29, which was substantially higher than the 4.73±1.23 level observed in healthy individuals (P< 0.001). Among people with hypertension, a stroke or TIA occurred in 20% (N=20) of cases. Patients with CVA/TIA had a mean Sr Uric Acid of 5.31±1.55, while those without CVA/TIA had a mean of 4.75±1.22. Hypertensives had an incidence of retinopathy of 30% (N=30). Patients diagnosed with retinopathy had significantly higher sr. uric acid levels (5.81±1.32) compared to those without the condition (4.46±1.06) (P<0.001). When comparing instances with and without LVA, CAD, NEPHROPATHY, CVA, and Hypertensive Retinopathy, a statistically significant difference was found (P< 0.001).

The hypertensive population was discovered to have greater blood uric acid levels than normotensives, and this was proven to be related to damage to target organs. This demonstrates that serum uric acid may be used in the hypertensive population as an early biochemical marker to determine the severity of organ damage.

Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are most common causative agents of Community acquired Pyoderma and Gram negative bacilli are encountered to lesser extent. Emergence of drug resistance has caused increased morbidity and therapeutic challenge in the management of pyoderma cases. Hence the present study is undertaken to know the bacterial profile of Community acquired pyoderma and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in our set up using conventional techniques.

: Pus Samples were processed as per the standard microbiological procedures over a period of one and half year. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method following CLSI guidelines.

: out of 150 pus samples, 105 (70%) were primary pyoderma cases and 45 (30%) were secondary. Most affected age group is 0 to 10 years (25.33%) followed by 11 to 20 years (18%). S.aureus (70%) is the most commonly isolated which showed highest resistance towards Penicillin (81.91%) followed by Erythromycin, Ciprofloxacin (55.24%), Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid and Ofloxacin (37.14%), Cefepime (29.53%), Cotrimoxazole (26.67%). Lesser resistance was shown against Tetracycline (14.29%), Gentamycin (11%), Clindamycin (06.67%) and Chloramphenicol (02.86%). No resistance was shown against Linezolid. Rate of MRSA was 24.76%.

: Present study reveals that children are at higher risk of developing pyoderma and S. aureus is the commonest causative agent in our geographical area with considerably high prevalence of MRSA. Isolates are resistant to commonly used topical agents like erythromycin. Systematic surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility will help in effective management of cases and emergence of drug resistance.

The WHO global research map for COVID-19 and others had recommended population-level sero epidemiological studies to generate data on the levels of infection in populations and recommended containment measures accordingly. In order to understand the extent of COVID-19 infection, as well as efficacy of vaccine administration program, the present was conducted a COVID-19 sero-survey across the city and study in relation to variables limit like demographic, environmental, social factors.

To conduct a COVID-19 sero-survey across the city and study in relation to variables limit like demographic, environmental, social factors in study population.

A total of 1571 subjects were surveyed from the 9 wards of Thane Corporation area. The random sampling method ensured almost equal distribution across these wards. Six different age groups defined to ensure a non-skewed spread across all age groups.

Higher seroprevalence is seen in younger age groups. The maximum seropositivity was observed in 30-45 age group and minimum was observed in 06-17 age group. This may be attributed to the non-vaccination. Amongst the fully vaccinated population, 5.2% of participants are non-responder i.e. remains seronegative despite partial or full vaccination.

COVID-19 pandemic may continue to attack the mankind till all of us develop a strong immunological defense against it either by natural (clinical and sub clinical) or vaccine induced immunity against COVID-19. This sero-surveillance survey still provides us with accurate baseline figures about different socio-demographic and vaccination coverage factors released with the immunological status of participants. Further, regular surveys are necessary above this baseline seroprevalence survey to study any shift in the seropositivity status and the type of variants, so that timely intervention can be considered.
К вопросу о правовой природе Устава о промышленном труде 1913 г
Authors: Иванов Артем Борисович
Published: December 2024

The publication is devoted to the problem of determining the legal nature of the monument of Russian labor law - the Industrial Labor Statute of 1913 (ILS) through the prism of the theory of legal systematization. In the science of labor law, the creation of the Statute is most often characterized as an official incorporation of labor (factory) legislation of the Russian Empire. Meanwhile, some features of the ILS correspond to the features of other types (forms) of law-systematizing practice. Clarification of the nature of ILS will deepen scientific knowledge in the field of legal systematization, unify approaches to its types (forms) at the general theoretical, historical and sectoral levels of legal doctrine. A uniform understanding of the problem addressed in the publication is also important from an educational and methodological point of view. In general, the theoretical and legal analysis of the structure and content of the ILS has revealed the mixed legal nature of this systematized act. The Statute is the result of the official incorporation and consolidation of Russian labor legislation at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The signs of a consolidated act are manifested in the Statute as a separate legislative act with its own name and other requisites, structure and sequence of presentation of legal material. The lawmaking nature of consolidation, which is not inherent in incorporation, is noticeable in these features of the ILS. The statute is an incorporated act because the laws it presents have not been substantially revised. The Statute has kept the content of the legal regulation of labor relations unchanged. Also, the adoption of the ILS largely did not invalidate those factory laws whose provisions were subject to incorporation, although in fact many laws ceased to apply.

Authors: Романовский Георгий Борисович
Published: December 2024

The article examines the legislative content of the patient’s right to replace the attending physician, as well as materials from judicial practice that make it possible to identify the most complex legal situations. A paired category is considered - the doctor’s ability to refuse to monitor the patient and treat him. Based on the materials of judicial practice, it is shown that the powers are not absolute. The main importance belongs to the principle of public health - the inadmissibility of refusal to provide medical care.
Штраф за неисполнение условий договора о целевом обучении: некоторые вопросы правовой природы
Authors: Ивашковская Анастасия Викторовна
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the issue of determining the legal nature of the sanction for failure by one of the parties to a contract on targeted training to fulfill the obligation to employ a citizen. Following a number of researchers, the author states the civilistic nature of the said contract, providing, in addition to the previously expressed, his own arguments in favor of this position. Considering the contract on targeted training as a civil law one, the author attempted to substantiate the interpretation of the fine provided for failure to fulfill the above obligation as damages, and not a penalty. The author analyzed judicial practice, which showed the incorrectness of the application by the courts in the case under consideration of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on penalties and exclusively formal (without sufficient factual support) adherence to the guiding position of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation when reducing the amount of the penalty collected.
Злоупотребление взыскателем своими правами в алиментных обязательствах по содержанию несовершеннолетних детей: типичные и нетипичные случаи
Authors: Сочнева Ольга Игоревна
Published: December 2024

When family relations between spouses with common minor children are terminated, one of the contentious issues, among others, is the participation of the parent living separately in the maintenance of the common child. The article notes that the legal regulation of the alimony obligation of parents in relation to minor children, as well as the consideration of such disputes by the courts, is not always associated with maintaining a balance of interests of both parties to the alimony obligation. In particular, there is no unified approach in the legislation and judicial practice to solving the problem of excessive alimony arising from the collection of alimony in shares of the payer's income with a high salary. In such cases, alimony clearly exceeds the reasonable needs of the child and, in fact, is used by the parent with whom he lives for his own needs. It is also noted that in law enforcement practice there are also other cases of abuse of rights by parents who receive child support. A legal analysis of such situations and their qualifications is provided.
Отдельные вопросы применения временного ограничения пользования специальным правом к должнику по исполнительному производству
Authors: Бутнева Мария Юрьевна
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the following questions: what by its legal nature (family law or civil law) is the obligation to pay alimony arrears, the enforcement of which is carried out during separate enforcement proceedings initiated after the termination of the debtor's alimony obligation in connection with the child reaching adulthood or acquiring full legal capacity under 18 years of age on the grounds of specified in the law; is it lawful to apply such a stimulating measure as restriction of the use of a special right to the debtor within the framework of this enforcement proceedings? In the course of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that this obligation is civil law, and therefore, the application to the debtor of the restriction established by law in case of non-fulfillment of the requirement to collect alimony arising from family legal relations is questionable. Based on the results of the study, proposals were made to amend the legislation

No se transforma lo que se naturaliza
Authors: Sánchez Sebastián
Published: December 2024

El sector al que llamamos de la economía popular no es solo una manera de organizarse ante la falta de trabajo formal, también se trata de inventar sus propios trabajos para poder vivir dignamente en un contexto donde la oferta laboral no es para todos. Pero la economía popular no solo salió a inventarse un trabajo, sino que también salió a buscar la manera de organizarse ante las faltas que había en cada territorio, ante ausencia de políticas públicas y del estado. De esta forma, es como nacen dentro de nuestros barrios iniciativas que, a lo largo del tiempo, se les fueron poniendo nombres como “salud comunitaria” o “salud popular”.

Esta edición de Locura y transformación social. Autobiografía de la reforma Psiquiátrica en Brasil, obra de Paulo Amarante, es resultado de la cooperación y la amistad entre el Doctorado en Salud Mental Comunitaria de la Universidad Nacional de Lanús, el Laboratorio de Investigación y Atención Psicosocial (LAPS) de la Fundación Osvaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ) de Brasil y el Programa APEX de la Universidad de la República de Uruguay.
En su obra, Paulo Amarante narra en primera persona los hitos fundamentales que han marcado la historia y el desarrollo del proceso de reforma psiquiátrica en Brasil. A lo largo del texto se evidencia que esta transformación ha sido impulsada por un amplio espectro de organizaciones que incluyen sindicatos, asociaciones profesionales y académicas, así como grupos de usuarios y sus familias. Esta diversidad de colectivos se ha movilizado, tanto por la superación del modelo manicomial en el ámbito de la salud mental como por la defensa de los derechos humanos, la justicia social y la oposición a diversas formas de violencia social e institucional.
Acerca de cómo “robarle el tiempo al encierro”: la gestión del proceso de trabajo en una sala orientada a producir externaciones de un monovalente de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, 2020-2022
Authors: Murua Sebatian Nicolás
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo expone los principales resultados elaborados en una Tesis de la Maestría en Salud Mental Comunitaria de la Universidad Nacional de Lanús, defendida en el 2024. El objetivo general se relaciona con describir las características que asume la gestión del proceso de trabajo que el/los equipos de la Sala Residencia del Hospital Esteves realizan en sus tareas en general y, en particular para favorecer los procesos de externación. 
Se eligió el Hospital Esteves por la particularidad de ser el único de los cuatro monovalentes de la provincia de Buenos Aires (PBA) con internación en salud mental exclusiva para mujeres. El mismo se encuentra ubicado en Temperley, partido de Lomas de Zamora, perteneciente a la región sanitaria VI.
Actualmente la PBA se encuentra atravesando un proceso de reforma del modelo de atención. Como muestra de este proceso toma importancia el informe que, a principios de 2021, elaboró la Subsecretaría de Salud Mental, Consumos Problemáticos y Violencia de Género, a partir de los planes de adecuación a la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental 26.657 presentados en diciembre de 2020 por las Direcciones de los cuatro monovalentes. En estos planes se presenta el estado de situación de cada hospital, y se elaboran algunos lineamientos a seguir para su reforma (Ministerio de Salud de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, 2021).
