Suppressed Sexuality in Gendered Institutions: A Re-examination of Amitav Ghosh’s Ibis Trilogy
Authors: Bain Ranita
Published: December 2021

Socializing factors like, schools, parents, peer groups, and legal forces etc. all of them combine together to alienate women from fulfilling their own sexual desires and transform their sexual appetites into a subdued residue. The double standard of sexual morality forbade certain sexual activities for women while permitting the same actions for men. Women themselves know very well that they are not permitted by society to express their sexual feelings or even to enjoy sex in many contexts. Amitav Ghosh explores this double standard of sexual morality in his novels.He stresses on the need to deconstruct the cultural construct of sexual morality, which prohibited certain sexual behaviours for women while approving the same behaviours for men. Through an exploration of mainly Ghosh’s The River of Smoke, Sea of Poppies and Flood of Fire I have shown that the political purposes of men have often been rested on restraining women from enjoying satisfying sexual pleasure. Sexuality is not at all as restricted or as palpable as most of us believe. I have also argued in this paper that the restriction on human sexual activity to the lone task of producing babies is not at all a natural requirement, but it is the outcome of a very precise cultural construction.

Concealed Weapon Detection using Image Processing and Machine Learning
Authors: Gosain Saksham
Published: December 2021

Abstract: This research paper presents a study of concealed weapon detection using image processing and machine learning. In order to attempt to replace the traditional method of detecting hidden weapons i.e. x-ray method with an automated and possibly a less error prone procedure, potential alternate techniques such as neural networks and image fusion have been studied and explored to identify the best possible solution. We propose a method to fuse Thermal/IR image with the conventional RGB image or HSV image in order to reduce image noise and retain all the critical features of the image to achieve both weapon detection and facial feature extraction.

Preparation and Characterization Mustard Oil, Nutmeg and Cloves to Treat Headache
Authors: Vishwanath Mr. Bite Rushikesh
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Headache is an extremely common symptom and collectively headache disorders are among the most common of the nervous system disorders, with a prevalence of 48.9% in the general population.1 Headache affects people of all ages, races and socioeconomic status and is more common in women. Some headaches are extremely debilitating and have significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, imposing huge costs to healthcare and indirectly to the economy in general. Only a small proportion of headache disorders require specialist input. The vast majority can be effectively treated by a primary care physician or generalist with correct clinical diagnosis that requires no special investigation. Primary headache disorders – Headaches, tension headache and cluster headache – constitute nearly 98% of all headaches; however, secondary headaches are important to recognise as they are serious and may be life threatening. This article provides an overview of the most common headache disorders and discusses the red flag symptoms that help identify serious causes that merit urgent specialist referral. The current pathway of headache care in the UK is discussed with a view to proposing a model that might fit well in the financially constrained National Health Service (NHS) and with new NHS reforms. The role of the national society, the British Association for the Study of Headache, and the patient organisations such as Headaches Trust in headache education to the professionals and the general public in shaping headache care in the UK is described. The article concludes by summarising evidence-based management of common headache diagnoses. Keywords: Headache, Headaches, tension headache, cluster headache, medication overuse headache
Evaluation of Cognitive Activity in Experimental Animal1
Authors: Sanjay Mr. Katwate Sadashiv
Published: December 2021

Abstract: The use of animals in research and education dates back to the period when humans started to look for ways to prevent and cure ailments. Most of present day's drug discoveries were possible because of the use of animals in research. The dilemma to continue animal experiments in education and research continues with varied and confusing guidelines. However, the animal use and their handling vary in each laboratory and educational institution. It has been reported that the animals are being subjected to painful procedures in education and training unnecessarily. The extensive use of animals in toxicity studies and testing dermatological preparations has raised concerns about the ways animals are sacrificed for these “irrelevant experiments”. On the other side of the coin are scientists who advocate the relevant and judicious use of animals in research so that new discoveries can continue. In this review, we discuss the evolution of the use of animals in education and research and how these have been affected in recent times owing to concerns from animal lovers and government regulations. A number of computer simulation and other models have been recommended for use as alternatives to use of animals for pharmacology education. In this review we also discuss some of these alternatives.

Authors: Khan Hiba
Published: December 2021

Abstract: In this study, the OPD is defined as the hospital's department where patients received diagnoses and/or treatment but did not stay overnight. Patients spend substantial amount of time in the clinics, waiting for the services to be delivered by physicians and other allied health professionals. The degree to which health consumers are satisfied with the care received is strongly related to the quality of the waiting experience. The methodology for Data collection is a balance of primary and secondary sources. Primary outcome based upon personal visits to the hospital and hospital database. Secondary outcomes based upon the information collected through questionnaire. The present study was aimed at studying the waiting time of outpatient in the multi-speciality hospital. Our observation reveals that many patients face the difficulties in finding the various OPDs. On an average 10 minutes of waiting time outside the various O.P.D. and other departments.As the Hospital is coming up with the new hospital building, it is expected that infrastructural issues can be taken care during the planning and development stage. Assessment of patient’s waiting time and satisfaction is cost effective way for evaluation of heath care services. Keywords: OPD, Waiting Time, Patient management, Hospital management.

Durante nueve años, la revista Ciencias Sociales y Educación ha proyectado una pulsación, que podríamos decir un latido, en la constelación del campo fluctuante de lo que puede ser comprendido, en circunstancias específicas, como una revista científica en el mundo académico. Como se evidencia en los dieciocho números divulgados, y ahora en este nuevo, se ha publicado una serie de artículos resultados de investigación, traducciones, reseñas y entrevistas, además de contar para cada uno de ellos con una propuesta gráfica, que no es un decorado, sino una apuesta visual que dinamiza la pluralidad de contenidos de una publicación de carácter científico. Para el número diecinueve, correspondiente al primer semestre de 2021, la revista presenta siete artículos que son producto de procesos de investigación, tres traducciones del francés al español y cinco reseñas. Se ha seleccionado una serie de dibujos, considerados grotescos en la historia del arte, del neerlandés Arent van Bolten (1573-1633), escultor y pintor creador de capas, curvas, profundidades y manifestaciones orgánicas que le dan a su obra un estilo cómico y grotesco, ligado a una fervorosa fantasía de escenas bíblicas y figuras teratológicas. En la parte final de la revista se ofrecen algunas pinceladas reflexivas sobre las seis obras que acompañan el presente número de la revista.
Cambio de perspectiva. El adentro y el afuera

Traducción del francés al español de Luis Alfonso Paláu-Castaño

«Continuemos nuestros análisis. Con frecuencia —e incluso desde el comienzo— le hemos reprochado a la filosofía no haberse preocupado lo suficiente por la exterioridad (desacreditada para siempre) y por los objetos, a veces incluso ignorarlos para encerrarse mejor en la sola subjetividad (por esto la egología, el hortus conclusus). Carente de lo que la habría animado e incluso armado —el tener en cuenta nuestro entorno y a quien lo ocupa— la filosofía se repliega sobre sí misma, cree autonomizarse mientras se echa a perder. Nos atrevemos a preguntar, con el fin de poner en aprietos al filósofo hipotético que imaginamosy que sin duda caricaturizamos, sobre qué o a partir de qué eleva su reflexión.»
Investigación educativa: competencias desarrolladas en un curso de prevención en abuso infantil
Authors: Martorella Ana María
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo es el resultado de una investigación educativa, de tipo cualicuantitativa, de un curso semipresencial sobre prevención en abuso infantil que se dirigió a un grupo heterogéneo de profesionalescomprometidos con la población infantil y adolescente durante ocho meses con encuentros mensuales. El rol docente estuvo a cargo de una médica pediatra especialista en psiquiatría infantojuvenil. Se implementaron diversas estrategias pedagógicas y se administraron contenidos conceptuales, procedimentales y actitudinales que favorecieran la adquisición de competencias adecuadas para el objetivo propuesto en el diseño curricular. Entre los resultados observados, durante las evaluaciones diagnóstica, formativa y final resaltan el interés manifiesto por la resolución de la victimización infantil, la dificultad para el trabajo en equipo interdisciplinario y el abandono del curso por parte del 75 % de los estudiantes inscriptos. Se puede concluir que este tipo de labor profesional demuestra la replicación de modelos identificatorios de roles estereotipados de género, culturalmente asignados a las mujeres en el cuidado de la infancia, y que la victimización infantil genera abandono de la tarea por resistencia al sufrimiento.
Nutrients Dynamics in the Surface Waters of the Black Sea
Authors: Orekhova N. A.
Published: December 2021

Purpose. One of the key characteristics of water quality and marine ecosystems’ sustainability is nutrients supply, which are the main factors of phytoplankton bloom. Since the mid 20th century, in the northwestern Black Sea and on its western shelf, significant changes in nutrients concentrations took place, which were manifested in increase of the inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, and decrease of the dissolved silicon content, that in its turn, led to a strong anthropogenic eutrophication of the above-mentioned regions. The aim of the work is to assess the current state of the Black Sea based on the data on the nutrients distribution and dynamics in the surface water layer. Methods and Results. The data obtained in the cruises of R/V “Professor Vodyanitsky” in 2016–2019 were analyzed. The main regions under study included the deep part of the Black Sea, as well as the Crimean and Caucasian sectors of the economic zone of Russia. The data obtained showed significant variability in the nutrients concentration both in the coastal and open areas. Conclusions. A decrease of nutrients concentration in 2016–2019 as compared to that in 2009–2014 was noted, that can indicate a decrease in the eutrophication degree and an improvement of the Black Sea waters quality. Intra-annual variability of the nutrients concentration in the sea surface layer is observed. No pronounced features in spatial variability of the nutrients concentration in this layer were revealed. It is assumed that in the central deep part of the sea, their concentrations are conditioned mainly by the physical processes of water transfer. In addition to physical transport, the increased nutrients concentrations in the coastal areas are, probably, also related to influence of the anthropogenic factor, namely inflow of nutrients from the coastal sources or their formation resulting from the biogeochemical processes which include organic matter.

Achieving acid sites accessibility and pore compatibility in MWW nanosheets for alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene
Authors: Liu Baoyu , Liao Zhantu , Zhang Jianwen , Huang Yeqing
Published: December 2021

Regularly spaced MWW nanosheets combined with single-unit-cell thickness
and optimized Al species distribution are highly effective for the
alkylation between benzene with 1-dodecene, high conversion of
1-dodecene (ca. 85 %) and selectivity of 2-LAB (ca. 80 %) can be
obtained. Detailed studies of this MWW nanaosheets system reveal that
ultra-thin MWW nanosheets with ordered arrangement can expose more
accessible Brønsted acid sites (ca. ~89 %), and
specially place framework Al species on the T2 sites (ca.
~13 %), in which the alkylation mainly occurred under
the catalysis of accessible Brønsted acid sites. Besides, the desired
2-LAB is produced on the unique 12-MR hemicavities with solid binding
energy and perfect steric configuration. As a proof-of-concept study, we
integrate the highly exposed Brønsted acid sites and unrivalled
shape-selectivity in the regularly spaced MWW nanosheets system with
well characterized acid sites accessibility and pore adaptability,
leading to the excellent catalytic performance.
Continuous isomerization of glucose to fructose using activated hydrotalcite catalyst: Effects of reaction conditions
Authors: Souzanchi Sadra , Nazari Laleh , Kasanneni Venkat , Tan Zhongchao , Xu Charles
Published: December 2021

Isomerization of glucose to fructose was studied over activated
hydrotalcite as a catalyst in a continuous-flow tubular reactor. The
synthetic hydrotalcite (HT), calcined hydrotalcite (HT-C) and activated
hydrotalcite (calcined-rehydrated hydrotalcite (HT-C-R)) were
characterized by TGA, XRD, BET surface area, and FT-IR analyses. The
effects of operating conditions, including reaction temperature and
retention time (in terms of both catalyst loading and feeding flow rate)
on the isomerization reaction, were investigated. Glucose conversion and
fructose selectivity were found to be more strongly dependent on
retention time than reaction temperature. The fructose yield was mostly
dependent on the feeding flow rate, and its maximum value of 18%
corresponded to the lowest flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The regenerated
hydrotalcite catalyst showed that the catalyst activity could be
restored through the calcination-rehydration process, and it showed good
potential for recycling and reusability.
High‐quality genomes reveal significant genetic divergence and cryptic speciation in the model organism Folsomia candida (Collembola)

Published: December 2021

The collembolan Folsomia candida Willem, 1902, is an important
representative soil arthropod that is widely distributed throughout the
world and has been frequently used as a test organism in soil ecology
and ecotoxicology studies. However, it is questioned as an ideal
“standard” because of differences in reproductive modes and cryptic
genetic diversity between strains from various geographical origins. In
this study, we present two high-quality chromosome-level genomes of F.
candida, for the parthenogenetic Danish strain (FCDK, 219.08 Mb, N50 of
38.47 Mb, 25,139 protein-coding genes) and the sexual Shanghai strain
(FCSH, 153.09 Mb, N50 of 25.75 Mb, 21,609 protein-coding genes). The
seven chromosomes of FCDK are each 25–54% larger than the
corresponding chromosomes of FCSH, showing obvious repetitive element
expansions and large-scale inversions and translocations but no
whole-genome duplication. The strain-specific genes, expanded gene
families and genes in nonsyntenic chromosomal regions identified in FCDK
are highly related to its broader environmental adaptation. In addition,
the overall sequence identity of the two mitogenomes is only 78.2%, and
FCDK has fewer strain-specific microRNAs than FCSH. In conclusion, FCDK
and FCSH have accumulated independent genetic changes and evolved into
distinct species since diverging 10 Mya. Our work shows that F. candida
represents a good model of rapidly cryptic speciation. Moreover, it
provides important genomic resources for studying the mechanisms of
species differentiation, soil arthropod adaptation to soil ecosystems,
and Wolbachia-induced parthenogenesis as well as the evolution of
Collembola, a pivotal phylogenetic clade between Crustacea and Insecta.

Spatiotemporally Programmable Metasurfaces via Viscoelastic Shell Snapping
Authors: Chen Yuzhen , Liu Tianzhen , Jin Lihua
Published: December 2021

Many species can dynamically alter their skin textures to enhance their
motility and survivability. Despite the enormous efforts on designing
bio-inspired materials with tunable surface textures, developing
spatiotemporally programmable and reconfigurable textural morphing
without complex control remains challenging. Here we propose a design
strategy to achieve metasurfaces with such properties. The metasurfaces
comprise an array of unit cells with broadly tailored temporal
responses. By arranging the unit cells differently, the metasurfaces can
exhibit various spatiotemporal responses, which can be easily
reconfigured by disassembling and rearranging the unit cells.
Specifically, we adopt viscoelastic shells as the unit cells, which can
be pneumatically actuated to a concave state, and recover the initial
convex state some time after the load is removed. We computationally and
experimentally show that the recovery time can be widely tuned by the
geometry and material viscoelasticity of the shells. By assembling such
shells with different recovery time, we build metasurfaces with
pre-programmed spatiotemporal textural morphing under simple pneumatic
actuation, and demonstrate temporal evolution of patterns, such as digit
numbers and emoji, and spatiotemporal control of friction. This work
opens up new avenues in designing spatiotemporal morphing metasurfaces
that could be employed for programming mechanical, optical and
electrical properties.

‘Every Cloud has a Silver Lining’
Authors: Tuksar Sunčana , Labaš Danijel
Published: December 2021

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, images (memes, GIFs, pictures, etc.) were largely consumed via social media. The purpose of the study is to establish a relevant research model in order to contextualize images as transmedia communicative documents during lockdowns (March-June 2020). The research method is a visual semiotic analysis used to evaluate the data for inter-coded reliability. The corpus is comprised of 300 visual representations identified regarding the salient participants metaphorically represented as “real”. On the one hand, the semantic-sensory relationships between images and viewers rhetorically imply a proverbial frame ‘Every cloud has a silver lining’; on the other hand, the persuasive concept of humour is established by multimodal tools, which further shape the audience. The salient domains of ‘staying home’ and ‘going away’ point towards more specific variables, e.g. education or tourism. The results confirm the modality judgement of humorous construct as a valuable document regarding the pandemic situation. According to its unique rhetorical features produced by the image-message-receiver relationships, the consolidation of data sets the ground for strategies and signifiers, with the function of a) presenting the adaptation of norms and b) setting the ground for consequent studies. Conclusively, the survey was conducted at Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, which confirmed students’ positive attitudes about using images for visual literacy. New findings are juxtaposed with previous knowledge in order to enforce the proposed research as a model for further narrative cognition. One such example is the burning question of how the media shapes the general public opinion on the coronavirus vaccine.
Analiza pseudodogađaja u strateškom komuniciranju visokog školstva u Hrvatskoj
Authors: Jakšić Lucijano , Dabo Krešimir , Volarević Marija
Published: December 2021

Komunikacija s ciljanom javnosti i promocija proizvoda i usluga proteklih godina transformirala se iz mogućnosti u nužnost, a odnosi se na profitni i neprofitni sektor gospodarstva. Digitalizacija i popularizacija društvenih medija, potreba za publicitetom i dosegom do krajnjih korisnika i potrošača te praćenje konkurencije postaju primarni izazovi strateškog komuniciranja. Isticanje pojedinih elemenata poslovanja na nov i inovativan način omogućava privlačenje pažnje javnosti te postizanje šireg publiciteta. U tome se posebno ističe alat odnosa s javnošću tzv. promidžbena dosjetka, pseudodogađaj ili PR stunt. Novi mediji, a posebno platforme za društveno umrežavanje, ovakvim sadržajima daju veliki doseg, značajnu popularnost, ali možda ono najvažnije – veliki povrat uloženog. Ovakav trend ne zaobilazi ni visoko obrazovanje. Preglednim istraživanjem ustanovljeno je da se elementi pseudodgađaja već koriste u komunikaciji svjetski poznatih visokoobrazovnih sustava, a svi se baziraju na kolektivnim i timskim aktivnostima te zajedničkom stvaranju sadržaja koji se dijeli i postaje dio medijskog izvještavanja. Cilj je ovog rada ispitati percepciju javnosti vezanu uz odabrane pseudodogađaje u hrvatskome privatnom visokom obrazovanju. Istraživanje se temelji na uzorku ciljanih javnosti privatnih visokih učilišta u Hrvatskoj te ispitivanju percepcije sadržaja i poruka pseudodgađaja kojima se promoviraju visoka učilišta.

Political Relationship Marketing: An Examination of Internal Relationship Management in Ghanaian Political Parties
Authors: Nnindini Sayibu Ibrahim , Mensah Kobby
Published: December 2021

In recent times political parties appear to be focusing narrowly on winning elections to the detriment of effective management of their intra-party relationships. The neglect of managing relationships is having a negative effect on parties, hence this study. The study looked at the practice of political relationship marketing in the two leading parties in Ghana, focusing on micro-interactions at the constituency level. Twenty-four party executives were drawn from eight constituencies for interview. Thematic analysis was carried out to identify relationship marketing practices in the parties. The findings demonstrate the presence of some political relationship marketing antecedents. A fully-fledged political relationship marketing practice is however absent.

Published: December 2021

A new process for mine water purification has been proposed, based on biosorption followed by burning the loaded biosorbents. Wheat straw and sawdust of trees are convenient as biosorbents in the proposed process. Biosorption was performed in two stages: a cross-flow regime between the mine water and the biosorbent. The achieved copper adsorption degree was > 95%. Based on the mine water volume and its chemical composition, the estimated amount of the biosorbent was 60.000 t/year. The cogenerative mode of the loaded biosorbent combustion was considered for green energy production. For the recovery of metals concentrated in the ash, they must be processed separately. Several possibilities for ash processing were proposed and discussed. For an annual volume of mine water and the copper content in it, the mass and energy balances of the process were estimated, giving some economic data on the process efficiency. The analysis of the revenues and costs, based only on the energy value produced by the combustion of the biosorbent, has shown that the process can economically be viable regardless of the value of the recovered metal.
Chemical remediation technologies

Published: December 2021

Environmental pollution remains one of the most serious world problems. Great
efforts are made to limit the release of harmful compounds into the
environment, and a variety of methods for remediation of soil, surface
water, and groundwater have been developed over the years. Chemical
remediation technologies are of great interest since they can remove and
degrade pollutants in contaminated sites. This paper focuses on several
chemical remediation technologies, such as precipitation, flocculation,
adsorption and ion exchange, chemical oxidation, soil washing and flushing,
and electrokinetic remediation. Remediation technologies are almost always
combined one with another, although they can be used separately. Choosing an
appropriate technology will depend on the type of the pollutants and site
conditions, and it should be done in such a manner so that the most
cost-effective and efficient technology is chosen. Even though some of the
technologies are used full-scale, research should be focused on enhancing
the existing, and developing new remediation technologies.

The objective of this study was to test four-dimensional LC-ESI-MS/ /MS chromatography in analysis of complex mixture such as ethanol extracts of different propolis samples. In total more than 1200 picks were identified and only for 185 literature conformation was found. The given data represent the result of tentative identification, and summarized results are given in the text. Comparing the samples, from different altitudes, 96 components were detected as characteristic in high altitude samples and 18 in samples collected at low altitudes. Antimicrobial activity of ethanol extracts of propolis (EEP) and propylene glycol extracts of propolis (PGEP) were carried out on S. aureus, B. cereus, M. flavus, L. monocytogenes, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium, E. coli and E. cloacae bacterial strains and compared with broad-spectrum antibiotics, streptomycin and ampicillin. Anti-quorum sensing activity was performed on P. aeruginosa by testing the effect of representative propolis extracts on biofilm formation, twitching and motility activity and production of pyocyanin. We demonstrated that the majority of explored propolis extracts have greater or equal minimal inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values compared to antibiotics, independently of the solvent used for the extraction. The samples collected from the highest altitude emerged as least active antimicrobial agents but with the greatest potential as anti-quorum sensing agents.
Why do we wear masks? Legitimacy, trust and norm compliance during pandemic
Authors: Vukovic Danilo
Published: December 2021

Health regulations curbing the spread of the Kovid-19 virus have brought a
number of restrictions into our social life, from wearing masks and
maintaining physical distance, to the complete abolition of important
segments of social life. In doing so, the government has responded to the
key risks of a pandemic: the health of individuals and the ability of health
systems to care for large numbers of patients. At the very beginning of the
pandemic, two notions took shape in the public: that young people are at
lower risk than the elderly and the sick, and that they adhere less to
epidemiological measures. Using a dana obtained through the survey at a
sample of students at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade, I tried to establish
the extent to which they comply with the regulations and which factors
influence it the most. The results show that a relatively small percentage
of respondents regularly comply with health regulations and that most of
them are in the ambivalence zone. Compliance with the measures is influenced
by the following factors: belief that the measures are justified and
effective, that is, agreement with the content of the norms; trust in
institutions, and especially trust in experts and doctors; as well as
regular media consumption and trust in their objectivity. Social control,
that is, moral and legal condemnation for non-compliance with measures, did
not prove to be significant. These findings show that in crisis such as
this, clear and transparent communication, and the behavior of actors and
institutions that instills trust, can ensure voluntary compliance with legal
measures.
Migration in the national context - mapping the research challenges
Authors: Pavlovic Dejan , Perisic Natalija , Santic Danica
Published: December 2021

Contemporary migration is characterized by its very dynamic nature. In that
sense, it is extremely important that scientific knowledge, academic
research, as well as the public policy measures, be based on current
research and accurate data sets. Furthermore, theoretical papers explaining
relevant phenomena and concepts could be equally relevant and useful like
the empirical ones, putting more light on the specific problems in the
process of creating and implementing public policies. The purpose of this
paper is to emphasize the links between the topics in scientific papers and
policymakers? needs through the desk analysis of the leading Serbian
national scientific journals in the areas of social sciences and humanities.
The analysis of 41 papers in total was related to the identification of
three specific migration topics: migration and development, integration and
migration governance. Through comparison between the global research trends
and the national approaches and findings certain conclusions were drawn and
recommendations were given. Detailed analysis led to findings that some of
the selected academic research could be a reliable and useful source for the
decision makers. This is a necessary step for development of efficient and
timely state responses to existing and future challenges brought by
migration.
Dominant theoretical approaches to the study of intergenerational family relations
Authors: Vlajic Milica
Published: December 2021

The paper discusses the dominant theoretical perspectives and concepts which
aim to explain various aspects of intergenerational family relations. The
intention of this paper is to point out the epistemic potentials and some
theoretical and methodological problems of these theories. The first part of
this paper includes an overview of the basic concepts necessary for the
study of intergenerational relations and transfers, as well as the
socio-demographic circumstances responsible for the relevance of this topic
during the last few decades. Following this, the dominant theoretical
approaches and their contributions to this subject will be introduced:
namely, the theory of intergenerational solidarity and the theory of
intergenerational ambivalence. In the last section of the paper we will
present a critical review of these theoretical perspectives.
