Published: March 2024

Diante das atuais e crescentes exigências da sociedade para que as empresas implementem e divulguem práticas sustentáveis, este artigo pretendeu analisar a adesão das Universidades Federais Brasileiras em demonstrar informações sociais e ambientais. Para se atingir o objetivo do estudo, foram utilizados os métodos de pesquisa exploratória, revisão bibliográfica, com uma abordagem qualitativa e indutiva operacionalizada através de estudo de caso, onde foram apresentados os quatro principais modelo de relatórios de informações socioambientais utilizados no Brasil e foram analisados dados coletados das sessenta e nove universidades federais existentes no país. Da análise, foi possível inferir que, 92,75% do universo pesquisado responderam ao pedido de informação; 5,8% não elaboram este tipo de relatório por não haver previsão legal; 14,5% enviaram link do Relatório de Gestão ou link do Plano de Logística Sustentável e; 7,24% elaboram algum modelo de relatório socioambiental. Assim, foi possível concluir que, a elaboração de um relatório de sustentabilidade no âmbito destas instituições ainda é pouco difundido, no entanto, já existem algumas universidades preocupadas em fornecer e aprimorar esta informação.

Published: March 2024

A doação de órgãos continua sendo bastante polêmica e delicada a ser discutida. Apesar dos avanços na legislação e nas práticas de captação e transplante de órgãos no Brasil, pouco se sabe sobre a realidade da captação de órgãos em municípios de fronteira no Brasil, em relação as dificuldades e desafios enfrentados para efetivar a doação de órgãos. Desta forma, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, com dados de natureza quantitativos e qualitativos, obtidos do Hospital Municipal ‘Padre Germano Lauck’ (HMPGL) e do Hospital ‘Ministro Costa Cavalcanti’ (HMCC), ambos de Foz do Iguaçu-Paraná, referente ao período de 2014 a 2017. Objetivou-se identificar o perfil dos pacientes que doaram seus órgãos e compreender os motivos das não doações, bem como informações sobre o sistema de transplantes da região Oeste do Panará. Os dados quantitativos foram obtidos dos registros dos hospitais e tratados através de estatística descritiva. Os dados qualitativos foram obtidos por meio de entrevista estruturada, realizadas nos hospitais, com os enfermeiros secretários da equipe da Comissão Intrahospitalar de Doação de Órgãos e Tecidos para Transplante (CIHDOTT) de cada hospital, gravadas e transcritas fielmentes, analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Unioeste. Como resultado, obteve-se 139 potenciais doadores de órgãos no período analisados, com o predominio de homens (65,5%), e faixa etária de 30-59 anos (51,8%) e iguais e maiores de 60 anos (25,9%), predominantemente residentes em Foz do Iguaçu (76,3%). Desse total de 139 potenciais doadores, apenas 58 (41,7%) se efetivaram, ocorrendo 81 não captações, principalmente por contraindicações clínicas (55,6%), recusa familiar (35,8%) e problemas logísticos/estrutural (7,4%). Constatou-se que em ambos os hospitais pesquisados há uma CIHDOTT atuante e em sintonia com as demais instâncias estaduais e federais permitindo o sucesso da captação de órgãos. Os principais pontos que necessitam de melhorias destacados pelos entrevistados são: criar um setor exclusivo para o CIHDOTT, ter um maior número de profissionais, com dedicação exclusiva para essa atuação, melhorar a estruturação de equipes e meios de transporte de órgãos no estado do Paraná. Conclui-se que o sistema de captação de órgãos funciona no município, mas melhorias necessárias foram identificadas.

STREAM EDUCATION A NEW CHALLENGE FOR ROMANIAN EDUCATION
Authors: Sabou Baboș Ioana Aurelia
Published: March 2024

The new concept of STREAM education (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) is at the beginning of the road in Romanian education. In the specialized literature at international level we find references and, at the same time, we notice that there is a need for an integrated approach of as many disciplines as possible, not only those of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) but also the slow integration of Religion (STRREAM), History (STRREAMH), Geography (STRREAMHG) etc. At national level, the specialized literature for this field is almost non-existent. The implementation of a STEM curriculum should be a priority of Romanian education, because most future jobs require STEM skills for future employees. A questionnaire applied online in which 101 primary school teachers participated shows that they are eager to implement such a curriculum in the classroom.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AT CHURCH AND SCHOOL AS FORMATION OF SHARED VALUES OF TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN IDENTITY
Authors: Tyurkedzhieva Diana
Published: March 2024

Along with the EU integration, the Bulgarian religious education had been interpreted as identity formation, rather than as confessional practice. Knowledge about the statistically dominant Eastern Orthodox Christian faith was generally perceived by local population as part of nationalist and ethnic patriotic upbringing, similar to what children were involved in socialist and previous times. Transition to democratic social order and deideologisation of education, as well as overcoming the memory of repressive cultural policy of communist regime, that excluded religious traditions as live heritage, and limited any faith to history, required new approach to religious education at churches, schools, and other cultural spaces for youth and adults as reading houses, non-governmental organisations, monasteries and convents. Multiculturalism that gave to the majority new opportunities to enjoy religious rights, at the same time empowered culturally ethnic religious minorities, that were previously discriminated. Minor religious communities demonstrated higher interest also in state-subsidised religious education in its confessional sense, as they earlier managed to organise for their members. International or ethnically and nationally diferent support to Bulgarian religious education reduced the value of its patriotic effect on population and therefore it had not become locally popular practice, until recent state edition of synodal set of Eastern Orthodox Christian church textbooks.
VALUE OF SINCERE VOICES OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE PROCESS OF CHURCH CATECHISATION
Authors: Toneva Velina
Published: March 2024

Contemporary religious education in Eastern Orthodox Christian countries and churches is often closer to catechisation than to comparative religious studies, because that is usually the local tradition and identity-building nature of schooling. On the other hand, recent church catechisation and socialisation are more often combined with recreative, general educational or more specific creative activities, classes and moments. Even new topics in arts and humanities go together with preaching to senior and to “those minor ones” and spiritually caring of children, youths, adults and elderly. When clergy works with people in the specific language and according to their particular interests that dynamically change, flock responds with same attitude to church lifestyle and confession. This paper is about the key value of understanding the way how children perceive, express and practice what they had actually understood, remembered and learned from parish school or monastery or convent camp. Based on my collection and exploration of small pieces of children’s prayer and creative texts and on comparison with such studies in Orthodox and other contexts, this study argues that spontaneous children’s responses and further feedback are of considerable value in the process of inchurching, as well as in religious dimension of personal and social child development.

Use of irrigating substances of natural origin in Endodontics
Authors: Abraham-Millán Yoneisy , Montano-Silva Rosa María , Pupo-Martínez Yaima
Published: March 2024

The success of pulpo-radicular treatment involves the complete cleaning, disinfection and conformation of the canal system, which depends on the elimination of vital or necrotic pulp tissue, dentinal remnants and microorganisms. For this, the use of irrigating solutions with antimicrobial, chelating, solvent and hemostatic activity is essential. There are biopharmaceutical products created for this purpose. The objective was: to analyze the irrigating substances of natural origin used in the treatment of endodontic canals, considering the importance of this knowledge for stomatologists. The methods were used: documentary analysis, historical-logical analysis and analytical-synthetic. For the development of this research, 17 bibliographies were selected. Products of natural origin constitute an effective alternative for the irrigation of endodontic canals due to their antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; its main advantages are easy availability, profitability, low toxicity and the lack of microbial resistance reported to date.
Rational Expectations of Inflation and Augmented Philips Curve Hypothesis in Sub-saharan Africa: Evidence from Dynamic Panel Data Model
Authors: Ojonta Obed I. , Obiefuna Edith C.
Published: March 2024

The study focuses on how rational expectations influence augmented Philips curve hypothesis in sub-Saharan African countries using dynamic robust instrumental variable system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach, with panel data from twenty-six countries in the region for the period 2009 to 2016. The two stage system GMM results show that with rational expectations on augmented Philips curve, the relationship between inflation and unemployment is positive and significant. When output gap is used as a proxy for unemployment in the model, the results reveal that the relationship between inflation and unemployment is negative but statistically insignificant. The findings suggest that the rational expectations of inflation on augmented Philips curve hypothesis are invalid in Sub-Sahara African countries. This lead to the recommendation that proper policy for the provision of enabling environment for ease of doing business to enhance productivity should be vigorously pursued in order to reduce inflation and unemployment rate.

COMORBIDITY OF PARODONTAL PATHOLOGY AND ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Authors: Сычева Ю.А. , Горбачева И.А. , Шабак-Спасский П.С.
Published: March 2024

В данной статье рассматривается взаимосвязь ишемической болезни сердца и заболеваний пародонта. Сопряженное течение коморбидной сердечно-сосудистой и стоматологической патологии требует от кардиологов и стоматологов совместных усилий по модификации общих факторов риска. Установлено, что эти заболевания имеют воспалительную природу. Патогенетическим звеном между выраженностью воспалительных изменений пародонта и развитием атеросклероза с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями является системная воспалительная реакция. При планировании лечебных и профилактических мероприятий у пациентов с заболеваниями сердечно-сосудистой системы следует учитывать состояние пародонта. Актуальной проблемой современной медицины становится развитие междисциплинарного взаимодействия врачей-интернистов и врачей-стоматологов, направленного на выработку единых подходов к лечению пациентов, имеющих патологию внутренних органов и стоматологические заболевания.

This article discusses the relationship between coronary heart disease and periodontal disease. The concomitant course of comorbid cardiovascular and dental pathology requires joint efforts from cardiologists and dentists to modify common risk factors. It has been established that these diseases are of an inflammatory nature, the pathogenetic link that enhances the relationship between the severity of periodontal inflammatory changes and the development of atherosclerosis with cardiovascular diseases is a systemic inflammatory response. When planning therapeutic and preventive measures in patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system, the condition of the periodontium should be taken into account. An urgent problem of modern medicine is the development of interdisciplinary interaction between internists and dentists, aimed at developing unified approaches to the treatment of patients with somatic and dental diseases.
nueva historia de la singularidad europea contada por el sefardí tornadizo Fernando Pérez Herranz
Authors: Hidalgo Tuñón Alberto
Published: March 2024

El autor pasa revista a la concepción de la historia como disciplina que exhibe el filósofo Fernando Miguel Pérez Herranz. El motivo de este concienzudo análisis es la publicación en marcha del magno proyecto Más allá de imperios y naciones (4 vols.) iniciado en 2023 y que ya cuenta con dos tomos en el mercado: Rutas, fronteras y complejidad y Singularidad imperial: del Mediterráneo al Atlántico.

Esta concepción del estatuto gnoseológico de la historia tiene en Lindos y tornadizos (2016) y en Ambiguus proetus (2019) dos momentos esenciales que dibujan el paso Herranz a su perspectiva (la morfología filosófica) en el debate entre Gustavo Bueno y Ricardo Sánchez Ortiz de Urbina a cuenta del sujeto trascendental. En tal contexto cobran relevancia las hipercategorías formuladas por Pérez Herranz y cuyo estatuto resulta problemático.
Comprendernos desde el contacto
Authors: Vilas Pazos María de la Cruz
Published: March 2024

El antropocentrismo determina nuestra percepción sobre el mundo y nuestra relación con él, teniendo un efecto material en tanto que impregna nuestros discursos, pensamiento, sensibilidades y prácticas. Este artículo trata de explorar cómo una reformulación ontológica que busque salir de los presupuestos antropocéntricos puede suponer un cambio material efectivo en nuestra percepción, generando cambios en nuestras sensibilidades y disponibilidades. Comprender los límites ontológicos desde el dinamismo y como zona de contacto nos permite acceder o materializar otro tipo de realidades aún por conocer. Poniendo en juego algunas ideas de Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, Karen Barad y Alfred Whitehead se busca un desarrollo conceptual y una reformulación ontológica como un intento de comprendernos en un mundo más-que-humano.

En el presente artículo se tratará de reflexionar acerca del estatus ontológico del concepto de identidad personal a partir de las así denominadas propuestas «narrativistas» de los filósofos Daniel Dennett y Clément Rosset. No se pretende tanto abordar la pregunta sobre la existencia última de dicha identidad cuanto hacerse cargo de cómo se nos aparece, las similitudes que presenta el proceso de construcción identitaria con el proceso narrativo y el papel activo tanto de uno mismo como de los demás en su edificación.
importancia radical de la genialidad artística para el ser humano
Authors: Martínez Granados Francisco
Published: March 2024

El fracaso político de la Revolución francesa deja un regusto amargo de que el problema del ser humano se encuentra en la Modernidad y, concretamente, en la escisión radical que abre la conciencia. Los ideales del Bien y la Verdad son señaladas como formas muertas, carentes de potencia erótica, inservibles para movilizar al ser y, por tanto, anacrónicos para una época que quiere despertar bajo el signo de la Belleza. Un joven Schelling escribe bajo este sol naciente una obra en la que el arte aparece como una praxis capaz de suturar aquella herida que abre la conciencia. La imaginación y la síntesis poética son elementos ineludibles en el transitar por una vida humana que busca su plenitud en el retorno a la unidad originaria con lo Absoluto. El gesto del genio artístico será el privilegiado para este tránsito al origen.

Atención suscitada y dirigida
Authors: Waldenfels Bernhard , Ávalos Bernardo
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo esbozar algunos motivos fundamentales de una teoría de la atención sobre la base de una fenomenología responsiva orientada por el cuerpo. Una fenomenología de la atención no se conforma ni con actos subjetivos ni con mecanismos anónimos. La atención se presenta más bien como un acontecimiento doble: algo nos llama la atención – prestamos atención. Algo nos sobreviene antes de que nos percatemos de ello. Entre ambos momentos se abre una brecha insalvable. La atención vivida excede nuestros propios proyectos, así como las técnicas y prácticas que determinan nuestro comportamiento. Los conflictos de atención apuntan a un ethos que nos confronta con lo inesperado y culmina en una consideración que debemos al otro.

Published: March 2024

Background: The ROM value of a joint indicates the flexibility of that joint. An increase in BMI value is one of the factors that can cause ROM values to decrease and will affect muscle and joint strength. Several studies have linked increased BMI with decreased ROM where obese populations have limited ROM compared to non-obese populations. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. The instruments used in this study were digital scales and stature meters to measure BMI, and goniometers to measure ROM. The research sample was selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were tested using binary logistic regression analysis method. Results: Of the 51 respondents studied, binary logistic regression analysis showed an effect of BMI on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.023, β = -0.197) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.014, β = -0.254), but no effect of age on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.635, β = -0.022) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.173, β = -0.069). Conclusion: Body mass index (BMI) affects the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis, but age does not affect the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa.

Written by a colleague and friend of the poet, it is part literary criticism and part memoir.

This biography/memoir of Czesław Miłosz is a first hand account of the poet’s life and his relationship to the author, beginning in the 1960s. Milosz was a Polish-American poet, prose writer, translator, and diplomat. Regarded as one of the great poets of the 20th century, he won the 1980 Nobel Prize in Literature. In its citation, the Swedish Academy called Miłosz a writer who "voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts".

Ecstatic Pessimist expands on Czeslaw Milosz’s commitment to “unpolitical politics” – working for a revolution in culture, and above all poetry, as a necessary preparation for a revolution in politics.

This is a familiar notion in Poland, which for two centuries was politically divided, but poets preserved and enhanced a lively Polish consciousness, And, as the book shows, Milosz took steps over two decades to help reunite Poles in the successful Solidarity movement, whose struggle eventually changed the regime and forced the Soviet armies to withdraw.

But the book is designed to encouraged a similar development in America. Milosz’s ambition for poetry may at first sound exotic, but as the book says, it is in the spirit of what John Adams wrote late in life to Thomas Jefferson: “The [American] revolution was in the mind of the people, and in the union of the colonies, both of which were accomplished before the hostilities commenced.”

Though the book is also designed for those who already know and love Milosz, it is primarily written for those looking for someone whose genius could similarly inspire Americans of both left and right to unite in restoring the badly broken politics of this country.

The book argues that Czeslaw Milosz is that genius, as perhaps the only person who has been praised by intellectual leaders like Chris Hedges on the left, and has also spoken at Hillsdale College, the intellectual citadel of the American right.

Digital Working Lives
Authors: Christiaens Tim
Published: March 2024

Recent innovations in digital technologies are fundamentally transforming the world of work. A digital gig economy is emerging that threatens to displace traditional labour relations based on legally regulated labour contracts. Companies like Uber, Deliveroo, or Amazon Mechanical Turk rely increasingly on ‘independent contractors’ who earn piece-rate wages by completing tasks sent to them via their smartphones. This development understandably pushes workers to desire more autonomy, but what would workers’ autonomy mean in the digital age?

This book argues that the digital gig economy undermines workers’ autonomy by putting digital technology in charge of workers’ surveillance, leading to exploitation, alienation, and exhaustion. To secure a more sustainable future of work, digital technologies should instead be transformed into tools that support human development instead of subordinating it to algorithmic control. The best guarantee for human autonomy is a politics that transforms digital platforms into convivial tools that obey the rhythm of human life.
The Beat, the Scene, the Sound
Authors: DJ Disciple DJ Disciple , Kronk Henry
Published: March 2024

A thrilling and tumultuous, behind-the-scenes account of house music in NYC.

The Beat, the Scene, the Sound follows DJ Disciple and his behind-the-scenes account of how DJs, promoters, fans, and others transformed house music from a DIY project into an international sensation—dive into the glitzy clubs, underground parties, and the diverse communities who made up the scene amidst the tumult of 1980s/90s-era NYC—between the fall of disco and the rise of EDM.

The book unearths many untold stories of the era. When house first rose to prominence in the 1980s, it brought people together—Palladium, Paradise Garage, Tunnel, Zanzibar, Studio 54, and other clubs were going strong. But as DJ Disciple established himself in the scene, he witnessed it shatter. During the crack-cocaine epidemic, he literally dodged bullets bringing his records to and from clubs at night. HIV/AIDS and homophobia threw up fear-based partitions. Then, mayors worked to close the clubs. House music was pushed underground and then abroad to the UK and Europe. Disciple and many other DJs sought to regain a footing in the United States, but that only became possible with the rise of commercialized EDM.

With dozens of interviews and historic photographs, The Beat, the Scene, the Sound shows what is possible when you bring people together and what can unravel when you split them apart.
Archaeology, Sexism, and Scandal
Authors: Kaiser Alan
Published: March 2024

Archaeology, Sexism, and Scandal tells the hidden tale behind one of the great American excavations in Greece. In the 1930s, David Robinson’s project on ancient houses became the first of its kind and fundamentally altered what classical archaeologists’ study. Alan Kaiser documents previously unknown details of the Olynthus project through lively photographs and enthusiastic letters of one of Robinson’s trench supervisors, Mary Ross Ellingson. He also reveals the plagiarism of Ellingson’s work by Robinson, and how others in the field were complicit in the theft.

This revised edition narrates the consequences of the first edition’s publication. People who knew Ellingson, Robinson, and others mentioned in the book contacted Kaiser to share with him important details he could never have known. Enough new information has come to light in archives from Canada to Greece to require a retelling of the archaeology, sexism, and scandal associated with the Olynthus excavation. Kaiser also includes never-before published photos that tell the story further in a way words cannot. And in a twist neither Ellingson nor Robinson could ever have seen coming, Kaiser reports on one last extraordinary action the book inspired, a petition to the Library of Congress to add Ellingson’s name to the two Olynthus volumes that her stolen works are in.
Controlling Mental Chaos
Authors: Pineda Jaime A.
Published: March 2024

For centuries, spirituality has told us that the answer to life’s problems lies within us, if only we would realize that we are more than what we imagine. Now, scientific understanding is showing us the way. For humans, anxiety is the background “fever” that never breaks but can often get much worse. Whether the causes are individual, relational, cultural, or pandemic problems, when they occur, they affect our ability to live a joyful and creative life. This often means getting mired in uncontrolled mind loops and incessant circular thinking, making us feel helpless and stuck. In this book, Jaime Pineda shows how the dynamics of anxiety and incessant rumination reflect uncontrolled creativity, and how using simple, time-tested techniques we can learn to control the chaos and recover our creative nature.

The key to the solution is to understand that the intellect only helps to some extent, but by itself cannot solve its own problem. What we need is a mind that can, in a nonjudgmental way, distance itself from the thought patterns that trap us. We are born with an incredible, original mind that quickly becomes obscured by the fever of fear and anxiety. But we can recover this mind quickly. Pineda teaches us how to recognize the basic problem and find the solution through a series of steps and techniques that help bring us out of the loops and recover a cleaner mindset that enables us to move beyond the static of anxiety.
