Periodistas económicos y economistas: el proyecto Mercado y la política económica desde su fundación hasta el tercer peronismo (1969-1973)
Authors: Rossi Ignacio Andrés
Published: September 2024

El estudio de las revistas económicas y financieras viene cobrando un significativo impulso en la historiografía. Esta línea de trabajo, se caracteriza por una colaboración interdisciplinar entre economistas, historiadores, sociólogos y otros cientistas sociales. Atendiendo a sus propuestas teóricas y metodológicas, se estudia la revista Mercado desde su nacimiento en 1969 hasta la llegada disruptiva en la vida nacional del tercer peronismo (1973). En este periodo, que adoptamos como una primera etapa del semanario, se atiende al nacimiento del proyecto editorial, a sus características estéticas, a las trayectorias que lo conformaron y a las discusiones abiertas en torno a la economía y la política económica. El abordaje dio cuenta de que se trató de un sólido proyecto editorial sustentado en cuadros profesionales del periodismo económico, con significativos recursos y una organización robusta que dotó de un relativo éxito editorial que continúa hasta nuestros días. Sobre los debates y las ideas económicas se dio cuenta de que el perfil liberal de los columnistas de Mercado se distinguió por la defensa de la estabilidad como condición central del crecimiento económico. Sin embargo, y pesar de su distancia con el peronismo, el progresivo deterioro de la llevó al semanario a depositar la esperanza de estabilidad en la figura de Juan Perón.
Using wearable technology to optimize sports performance and prevent injuries

Abstract: Iran is an immediate neighbour of Pakistan whereas US is one of the giant economic power and has been a strong economic donor for Pakistan. Therefore, maintaining a balanced relationship between these two nations has been extremely mandatory for Pakistan. Problem Statement: The study examines the US-Iran strained relations in the post Islamic Revolution period and its implications on Pakistan. The research also tries to highlight the weak policy options of Pakistan which remained hindrance for the neutral stance of Pakistan in Iran-US political dispute. Methodology: The paper is qualitative in nature and is based on investigation and exploration of different facts to find out the causes of the ambiguities in Pak-US Iran triangle. Findings: It concludes that the conflicting relations between US and Iran would greatly affect Pakistan. Furthermore, this research suggests that Pakistan needs to neutralize its relation between Iran-US or prefer Iran for the promotion of its national interest since Iran is an immediate neighbour and can benefit Pakistan geo-strategically, geo-politically and socio-culturally. Recommendations: Pakistan must prioritize Iran in the process of forging cordial and meaningful ties with the US since Iran is the immediate neighbour, an Islamic country and there are so many areas of convergence in Pak-Iranian relations which benefit Pakistan in many ways.

Authors:   Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Karachi, Firdous Maryum , Riaz Rabia ,   University of Karachi
Published: September 2024

Problem statement: Academic motivation is of autonomous nature when it originates from within, and of controlled nature when it originates from external factors. Amotivation is the absence of motivation. Intrinsic and extrinsic goals are said to induce different kind of academic motivation in students of developed and developing countries. It is, therefore, important to explore autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and amotivation of university students and the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic goals on academic motivation in developing societies like Pakistan. Methodology: The data was collected from 238 male and female students, aged 18-32 (M=20.68, SD= 2.127) at a large university in Karachi through a demographic form, Academic Motivation scale and Aspiration Index. Results: Repeated measures ANOVA test revealed that students’ autonomous and controlled motivation were significantly higher than their amotivation F(1.818, 430.871) = 1.738, p < .01, η² = .880. Multiple linear regression tests showed that autonomous motivation was predicted by intrinsic goals (β=.293, t= 4.042, p<.01) and extrinsic goals (β=.144, t= 1.984, p<.05). Controlled motivation was predicted by extrinsic goals (β=.362, t= 4.978, p<.01). Further amotivation was predicted by intrinsic goals (β=-.277, t= -3.671, p<.01) and extrinsic goals (β=.324, t= 4.302, p<.01). Recommendations: Studies in the future should explore the links of academic motivation with the kinds of intrinsic and extrinsic goals. Motivation profiles of students from various disciplines should be maintained in the future. Gender differences in motivation could also be explored.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Urgency and Emergency Hospital in Rio Branco, Acre state. Methods: This is a descriptive, retrospective and documentary field study with a quantitative approach based on data from patient records admitted between January 2020 and December 2020. Data collection was carried out on 869 medical records, which were used as the study’s sampling space. Results: It was observed that males predominated at admission, 60.07% (522) were male, while 39.93% (347) were female. The average age was 56.6 years. When dividing the elderly and adults, it was found that the elderly accounted for 47.87% (416) of the patients. Among the types of ventilation used on the patients, the most commonly used was mechanical ventilation 63.5% (558). When comparing the type of ventilation with the outcome of care, mechanical ventilation resulted in 70.4% (393) of patients dying and only 27.2% (153) being discharged alive. When analyzing the relationship between gender and outcome, males had a higher prevalence of discharges 59.8% (219), deaths 60.3% (279) and transfers 60% (24). The most frequent outcome was death 52.7% (463), followed by discharge 41.6% (366). Conclusion: In the study, males had a higher proportion of hospitalization, intubation and mortality than females. Mortality was higher among patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Analyzing the data, it cannot be said with certainty that length of stay influenced patient outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Background: Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is an unsatisfactory outcome of a patient who underwent spiral surgery irrespective of type or intervention area with persistent pain in the lumbosacral region with or without it radiating to the leg. The multifactorial etiology of this condition makes it challenging for the clinicians to completely treat this. Some of the causes like poor patients selection for surgery, incorrect diagnosis, suboptimal selection of surgery, poor technique, failure to achieve surgical goals, and/or recurrent pathology, pre-surgical mental status of patient.Methods: This non systemic review searched databases including medline via PubMed. The Cochrane Library and Embase using the terms Failed Back Syndrome. Post spine surgery, chronic pain, clinical trials, cohort studies, scientific reports were reviewed of last 15 years.Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach is most appropriate for patients who are unlikely to benefit from further formal surgical intervention. Team work including physicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals is essential in improving outcomes for patients with failed back surgery syndrome.

Published: September 2024

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic type of arthritis affecting the adult population. Symptomatic knee OA affects 6% of the adult population and occurs in 10% of adult of 65 years and older. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used for the variety of chronic pain when conservative therapies failed. Genicular nerve RFA is a treatment modality for OA knee patients, especially when surgery is contraindicated due to advanced medical problems or when the patient is not willing to undergo surgery.Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Pain Management Section, Department of Anaesthesiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. We included all patients who underwent diagnostic genicular nerve block for chronic knee pain between 1 June 2017 and 30 December 2018. Patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerves for chronic knee pain were recruited for this study. All enrolled patients were then followed for the next six months.Results: Twenty-eight patients with chronic knee pain were selected to undergo radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of genicular nerves. Seventy-five percent of the patients were female, the average age of the patients were 62.89 (±10.96) years, and the mean body mass index was 30.29 (±4.88) kg/m 2. The mean numerical rating pain (NRS) score was 7.4 (±1.03) before pain intervention and 2.8 (±1.07) after RFA of genicular nerves, which was statistically significant (p=0.0005). In our patient cohort, knee RFA was found to be effective in 23 patients (82.14%).Conclusion: This study reports 60-70% pain relief for six months in 82% of patients who underwent RFA of genicular nerves for severe osteoarthritis of knee joints.

Intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for the treatment of osteoarthritis has gained widespread attention in recent years. It is also a safe procedure with negligible adverse effects. In the literature, very few case reports of adverse effects after PRP injections have been reported. We report one such case of adverse reaction following intra-articular PRP injection. A64-year-old male with well-controlled hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented to our clinic with knee pain and was diagnosed with grade 3 osteoarthritis. He was treated with intra-articular PRP injection. One week later, he developed pain and swelling at the injection site with subsequent abscess formation. Culture and sensitivity revealed the presence of atypical mycobacterium. He recovered completely in 2 weeks following abscess drainage and a course of antibiotics and analgesics.

Published: September 2024

Background: Although effective treatments are still lacking for chronic low back pain (CLBP) associated with Modic changes (MC), in recent years, the efficacy of bisphosphonate and antibiotic treatment has been tested separately with variable success. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combined therapy of bisphosphonate and antibiotics versus single-drug therapy in CLBP patients with MC.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out from October 2019 to September 2020 according to 1964 Helsinki declaration among 60 adult CLBP patients with MC (confirmed by magnetic resonant imaging) and randomly allocated in Group-A (n=20): Zoledronic acid (ZA) only, Group-B (n=20): amoxicillin-clavulanate only, and Group-C (n=20): both ZA and amoxicillin-clavulanate. The primary outcomes were measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) and Roland Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) at follow-ups after 1 month, 100 days, and 6 months. Per-protocol analysis was performed using SPSS 24.Results: Out of the 60 patients, 43 patients (72%) completed all three follow-ups. The VAS score gradually decreased in all groups after treatment, wherein Group-C patients had the significantly lowest score at the 2nd and 3rd follow-ups (2.87±0.80 and 1.68±0.70, respectively) compared to Group-A (3.40±0.63 and 2.20±0.67, respectively) and Group-B (3.50±0.52 and 2.41±0.66,respectively). In addition, RMDQ also decreased significantly after 1 month compared to pretreatment (p<0.05) in all 3 groups, and this gradual decrement was continued until 6 months of treatment. However, it was reduced more in Group-C (6.26±0.70) than in group-A (6.69±1.40) and Group-B (7.75±1.21) at the end of the 3rd follow-up. Moreover, Group-C patients had the highest satisfaction level and lowest number of days with absence from work score compared to A and B (p<0.05). However, adverse effects were relatively higher in Group-C than A and B (p>0.05).Conclusion: Bisphosphonates and antibiotics combination therapy is more effective than single-drug therapy for CLBP associated with MC.

Background: Modern obstetrics uses several methods to relieve pain in pregnant women during labour and childbirth. Labour epidural analgesia (LEA) is an increasingly recognized and accepted method for pain relief. A pain free mother giving birth of a healthy child is the main focus of labour analgesia. The objective of the current study was to assess the effects of labour epidural analgesia on maternal and neonatal outcome.Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in labour suit of BRB Hospital Limited, Panthapath, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January, 2020 to June, 2021. A total of 200 parturient received labour epidural analgesia at first stage of labour/s. Continuous epidural infusion of 0.0625% bupivacaine with fentanyl 2μg/ml @ 10ml/hour was given after 15-20 ml bolus of 0.1% bupivacaine and continued upto second stage of labour. The duration of labour, mode of delivery and the APGAR score, NICU admission of neonate were measured.Results: Out of 200 parturient, 166 (83%) were primigravidae and 34 (17%) were multigravidae. The average age of patients was 25 years (median, IQR 20-34 years). Average gestational age of parturient was 38.56 ± 1.25 weeks. The duration of labour was within normal range in 99% of patients. The rate of normal vaginal delivery, instrumental delivery and caesarean section were171 (85.5%), 19 (9.5%) and 10 (5%) respectively. APGAR score (>7) in 1st and 5th minute were 186 (93%) and 197 (98.5%) respectively. NICU admission was not reported.Conclusion: Labour epidural analgesia has no effect on progression of labour and does not alter the mode of delivery. It is associated with better APGAR score of the newborn.

Authors: Uddin Md Aftab , Khan Md Kutub Uddin , Kamal Md Mostafa , Rahman Md Atiqur
Published: September 2024

Background: Bier’s block has been most commonly used for hand and wrist surgery. Though it reduces the potential complication of general anaesthesia, significant post-operative pain is very common just after tourniquet release. Many adjuvants have been used so far with local anaesthetic to produce a dense block and to provide adequate post–operative analgesia. Of them, Tramadol Hydrochloride was used very successfully as it has got less potential side effects. This study was done to see the effect of Tramadol Hydrochloride in Bier’s block for post-operative analgesia after tourniquet release.
Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Bangladesh Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, during the period of July ’2011 to march ’2012. A total sixty patients aged 20-60 years of ASA-1 and ASA-2 undergoing hand and wrist surgery of less than 40-minute duration were enrolled for the study. The effectiveness of combination of Lignocaine and Tramadol Hydrochloride as an anaesthetic solution in Bier’s block was assessed in terms of reduction of tourniquet pain, quality of anaesthesia, the time of first analgesic demand, and the amount of total analgesic needed in post-operative 24-hours period. Patients in control group (Gr-L) received 40 ml of 0.5% Lignocaine and patients in trial group (Gr-LT) received 38 ml of Lignocaine with 2ml (100mg) of Tramadol Hydrochloride as an anaesthetic solution. Patients were observed post-operatively for 24 hours. Pain was assessed in terms of VAS.
Results: Tourniquet pain was significantly less in Gr-LT (p<0.000). Post-operative analgesia was also significantly prolonged in Gr-LT (109.61±12.32 min) than in Gr-L (75.8±9.30 min). The number of total analgesic demand in post-operative 24 hours period was also significantly reduced in Gr-LT (P<0.000).Conclusion: The Lignocaine and Tramadol Hydrochloride mixture in Bier’s block provides adequate post-operative analgesia and causes less analgesic demand in post-operative period.
DIALECTIQUE DES RELATIONS POLICE-POPULATION. ANALYSE SUR LA NOUVELLE POLICE DITE DE PROXIMITE DANS LA VILLE DE KINSHASA
Authors:   Université Pédagogique Nationale, Ngomba Felly Lukunga
Published: September 2024

Au cours des quatre dernières décennies, les organisations policières occidentales ont connu de profonds changements des doctrines qui les avaient gouvernées jusqu’aux années 1970. A cette époque, d’intenses pressions s’exerçaient sur l’ensemble des institutions étatiques par des populations qui réclamaient l’équilibre entre la préservation de l’ordre public et celle d’un État de droit. Elément le plus visible du contrôle formel, la police se trouvait souvent en situation délicate devant diverses manifestations de cette volonté. Placée dans la position inconfortable de protéger un statu quo en déficit de légitimité, la police était taxée de négliger la protection du public au profit de celle des politiques et de manquer d’indépendance dans l’accomplissement de sa mission en se laissant instrumentaliser par le pouvoir en place. C’est sur cette toile de fond qu’émergea le concept anglo-saxon de la « community policing ». Cette étiquette, maintes fois traduite et remodelée, fut apposée à de nombreuses variations du modèle au fil des ans. Certaines, inspirées des mêmes principes de base, ont fait leur chemin à travers plusieurs continents. D’autres versions, se réclamant de la même souche, ont plutôt servi à redorer le blason policier sans remettre en question la relation entre l’institution et les citoyens.Malgré ces changements périodiques de dénomination, la police de proximité, comme nous en sommes venus à la désigner, est demeurée fidèle à ses principes fondateurs grâce, entre autres, à des mécanismes transparents de participation citoyenne, d’imputabilité et d’efficacité. Ni panacée, ni moyen exclusif de contrôle social, la police de proximité ne peut répondre aux attentes qu’elle suscite, tant dans la population, dans les milieux politiques, chez les chercheurs, qu’auprès des policiers eux-mêmes, que si un certain nombre de conditions sont remplies. Cette réflexion cherche à relever le déficit de rapports qu’il y a dans le processus du rapprochement police-population et présenter les défis sécuritaires dans la ville de Kinshasa pour déboucher par les perspectives socio-politiques pour la proximité police-population. Mots-clés : police de proximité, population, ville de Kinshasa.
Intertextual reading of three legends from the book “Histórias da minha origem - ai-knanoik hosi hau-nia hun”
Authors: Ati Luis Abel , Da Cunha Maria
Published: September 2024

This work seeks to establish an intertextual reading of three legends: the Lenda de Bee-Cussi, the Lenda de Iparira, and the Lenda da Aldeia Kaenlulik, which make up the book Histórias da minha origem - Ai-knanoik hosi hau-nia hun (Cavalcante & Cunha, 2018), with the aims of identifying and analyzing the intertextual elements present in these three legends under study. We also intend to disseminate the origin of some places in East Timor, allowing better access for new generations. This qualitative research was applied through bibliographical readings on the subject. From this research, we realized that intertextuality interweaves texts through quotations, allusions, paraphrases, comments, or thematic-ideological and (or) formal affinities. Throughout our analysis, we concluded that the “Dog” is an intertextual element in the three legends under study. This animal plays a central role in the three legends as the main discoverer of springs or water sources, contributing to the population's survival. Water is a source of life, essential for human survival.
Dialogues between school and Uma-lulik (Culture): education and inclusion
Authors: Sousa Rosiete Costa de , Paulino Vicente
Published: September 2024

The article proposes the discussion of affirmative action to think about the valorization, for inclusion in the school curriculum more forcefully and effectively, of the uma-lulik experience, its knowledge, its practices as a form of reparation and social and cognitive justice. The aim is to discuss the creation of curriculum acts through curriculum and cultural conversations as an affirmative action to value local Timorese cultures, namely, the Timorese ancestral experience embodied in uma-lulik, showing its relevance and relationship with contemporary issues. The idea of affirmative action is brought up in this text to strengthen and mobilize the debate around dialogues between school and uma-lulik, for the inclusion of the latter as a social, aesthetic, ontological, and epistemological experience in Timorese educational policy.

Business legality is a crucial element in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Karangsari Village, as one of the MSME centers, is facing challenges in adopting Business Identification Numbers (NIB) and implementing digital marketing. This research aims to identify the impact of implementing NIB on MSMEs in Karangsari Village and explore the obstacles and opportunities in its implementation. The methods used are case studies and field surveys. The research results show that although NIB can improve legality and market access, low digital literacy is a major obstacle. It is hoped that the socialization and training carried out in Karangsari Village can increase understanding and adoption of NIB and digital marketing by MSMEs, so as to strengthen their competitiveness in the market.
DECOLONISING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS: Laying a foundation for an African-Centered Approach
Authors:   Afya na Haki, Ngwena Charles
Published: September 2024

This paper seeks to lay a foundation for developing a legal method for implementing decolonialisation of law and human rights as they apply to sexual and reproductive health in the African region. It explores decolonisation as theory and praxis and adopts coloniality as a shorthand for the effects of colonisation. It is argued that decolonisation should be anchored in inclusive equality in ways that put a spotlight on intersectionality. The historical criminalisation of abortion is used to illustrate the coloniality of African abortion laws as well as make a case for decolonisation.

THE IMAGE OF A LONG-SUFFERING WOMAN IN CREATIVITY JUBRAN KHALIL JUBRAN AND HUSSEIN JAVID (COMPARATIVE STUDY)
Authors: Gasanov Rashad
Published: September 2024

A figurative model is a living model, one way or another created in the imagination of a writer, which stimulates his creative fantasy when describing a specific character in its various manifestations, and also helps to find the necessary linguistic means, materials and images for creative work when creating this character. The image of a long-suffering woman occupies an important place in literature, especially in the works of Arab writers. Jubran Khalil Jubran and Huseyn Javad are two outstanding authors whose works are full of deep social and philosophical reflections on the fate of women. This study is aimed at analyzing the image of a long-suffering woman in their works. This study examines two female images: from the novel Broken Wings by the Lebanese writer Jubran Khalil Jubran (1883-1931) and from the play Maral by the Azerbaijani writer Huseyn Javid (1882-1941), in order to identify similarities and differences between them. The image of the long-suffering woman occupies an important place in literature, especially in the works of Arab writers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the image of the long-suffering woman in their works. Both works touch upon the problems of the position of women in Eastern societies. This is the image of a submissive woman in one of the first novels in Arabic literature, «Broken Wings», as well as in the play «Maral», the first dramatic work in Azerbaijani literature that depicts the suffering of women in Caucasian society at that time. The methodology of this study is based on the approach of the American school of comparative literature. As a result, it was concluded that the two writers took a similar path in achieving their main goal - to convey the image of an Eastern woman striving to gain freedom.

Authors: Mukhitdinov Rashid , Mustafayeva Anar , Dulayeva Elnara
Published: September 2024

This article examines one of Abu Nasr al-Farabi's treatises, ‘Maqalat ar-Rafiqa fi Usul ʿIlm at-Tabiʿa’ (commonly referred to as Usul ʿIlm at-Tabiʿa), which has been the focus of translation and research only since Kazakhstan gained independence. The study presents an analysis of religious terminology in the ‘Aql (mind)’ section of this treatise, including its translation from the source language Arabic into Kazakh and a theolinguistic analysis. The treatise discusses key components such as aql, nafs, and rukh, emphasizing their roles not only in the human body but also in the broader context of the environment. Al-Farabi integrates these concepts with religious texts, including the Quran and Hadith, and conducts an interdisciplinary analysis. This examination aims to elucidate the author's religious worldview, his stance towards religion, and his affiliation with a particular faith. The purpose of the article is to perform a theo- and linguistic analysis of the religious terminology in al-Farabi's Usul ʿIlm at-Tabiʿa. The study undertakes the following tasks: comparing the original Arabic text with its Kazakh translation; defining religious terms and concepts in the original text; comparing their use with key Islamic texts such as the Quran and Hadith; and conducting a theolinguistic analysis. The study reveals a comprehensive review of the section on mind in al-Farabi's treatise, identifies key terminology, performs a theolinguistic analysis, translates and interprets several terminological units used in both religious and non-religious contexts, and determines the place of aql in the legacy of the Second Teacher and his worldview.

Abstract. In our country, it is also important to carry out a comprehensive and step-by-step serious study of the place of the Turks in the centuries-old history of India. Periods of power of the Turks in India were continuous. In the article, the Mamluk period of the Delhi Sultanate established by the Turks was considered as a special target, and the most important information related to this topic was selected, systematically presented and introduced. Information related to the mentioned period was compiled, including based on sources in foreign languages, and specially considered. Mamluk scenes in the Muslim space in the Middle Ages are evaluated as a significant milestone, and the need to study this complex and large-scale phenomenon is mentioned. The most prominent sultans of the Mamluk period mentioned in the article: Kutybeddin Aibek, Shamseddin Yeltutmys (1210-1236), Raziya Yeltutmys's daughter (1236-1240), Giyaseddin Belban Ulug-khan (1266-1287) were specially separated and became the focus of analysis. In the history of India, the Turks became political elite and achieved two results with their domination and leadership. One is the spread and stabilization of the Islamic religion, as well as the historical task of holding the reins of leadership and organizing it into a state and nation. In the study, it was confirmed that the civilization developed in a new direction during the Delhi Sultanate and acquired its own characteristics, unknown and unavailable information was presented. The construction of buildings in the new style of that era, the various development of the architectural process in Delhi is described on the example of the Qutib Tower. The religious position of the ruling Turks, appreciation of Islamic values, interest and concern for art and literature are shown. The work will be useful from a practical point of view, as it will contribute to the addition of new data to the field of domestic history, oriental studies, and Turkic studies, and will inspire new works in the future. In the future, it is planned to intertwine the works of Indian historians related to this topic by freely mastering them and the historical and genealogical works of the same period by using them as evidence.
Franciszkańskie pochówki członków staropolskiego episkopatu (XVI–XIX w.)
Authors: Prokop Krzysztof Rafał
Published: September 2024

W artykule zaprezentowano problematykę pochówków biskupich w nekropoliach – w szczególności świątyniach – powierzonych duchowym synom św. Franciszka z Asyżu na obszarze dawnego państwa polsko-litewskiego w czasach nowożytnych (XVI–XIX w.). Omówienia dokonano przy podziale wymagających uwzględnienia członków episkopatu na dwie grupy, z których pierwszą stanowią hierarchowie samemu wywodzący się z rodziny franciszkańskiej, natomiast drugą pozostali reprezentanci grona następców Apostołów, którzy jako miejsce wiecznego spoczynku obrali – dla różnych względów – te właśnie kościoły zakonne (ewentualnie przyległe do nich cmentarze). Co się tyczy pierwszej grupy, spośród tworzących ją siedemnastu biskupów (w tej liczbie dziewięciu franciszkanów konwentualnych, pięciu franciszkanów-obserwantów, dwóch kapucynów oraz jeden franciszkanin-reformata) w odniesieniu do dwunastu mamy do czynienia z pewnymi (dziewięć) lub hipotetycznymi (trzy) pochówkami we franciszkańskich nekropoliach, w przypadku natomiast pięciu – w innych lokalizacjach. Druga grupa obejmuje dwunastu hierarchów, którzy jakkolwiek reprezentowali duchowieństwo przeważnie diecezjalne (świeckie), a w pojedynczych przypadkach także zakonne innych reguł (po jednym cystersie oraz kanoniku regularnym św. Augustyna), troskę o własny pochówek zdecydowali się powierzyć duchowym synom św. Franciszka z Asyżu, co było warunkowane rozmaitymi przesłankami natury emocjonalnej tudzież dewocyjnej i z czym również wiązały się stosowne zapisy testamentowe (fundacje) na rzecz tychże miejsc kultu.

Authors: Solarz Franciszek
Published: September 2024

Kaplica Matki Bożej Bolesnej, Smętnej Dobrodziejki Krakowa, jest miejscem szczególnym ze względu na jej historię i kult cudownego, koronowanego obrazu Matki Bożej Bolesnej. Cały jej wystrój – ołtarz w prezbiterium, polichromia, witraże – wołają jednym głosem czci dla Męki Chrystusa i jego współcierpiącej Matki. Przesłanie to, mające swe zakorzenienie w Biblii i tradycji franciszkańskiej, ujawnia nam tajemnice Chrystusa, szczególnie Chrystusa cierpiącego i ukrzyżowanego. W to misterium passionis Christi włączona jest Jego Matka, Maryja czczona jako Smętna Dobrodziejka Krakowa. W tym też przesłaniu ukazuje się jako dzieło spójne i bardzo czytelne.

Esse problema de saúde pública reflete nos distintos danos à vida do usuário, provocando variados tipos de cânceres, Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis, Doenças cardiovasculares e pulmonares. Apesar das enfermidades citadas, o maior agravante do uso do tabaco está em seu potencial fator de dependência, e o que poucas pessoas sabem é como as substâncias contidas no cigarro, podem progredir para o Transtorno Pelo Uso do Tabaco (TPUT). Nesse ínterim o estudo pretende responder à pergunta problema: quais as características Transtorno Por Uso de Tabaco? Para responder à problemática, o objetivo do estudo foi abordar o que é o TPUT, por meio da metodologia qualitativa, por uma revisão da literatura, tendo como base teórica o “Manual diagnóstico e estatístico de transtornos mentais, desordem mental”, estando incluído na pesquisa, estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, abordando a temática do Transtorno Por Uso de Tabaco e documentos governamentais sem limite de data de publicação.
