ОБЩ ЯЗИК С ВИРАЖЕНИЕ НАРОДНО. THE LANGUAGE NORMS IN THE TRANSLATION OF A. GRANITSKI’S ЗА ТРЪГОВСКО ПИСМОПИСАНЇЕ (ON COMMERCIAL LETTER WRITING), 1858
Authors: Nikolova Nadka
Published: November 2021

he article presents the results of a study on the contribution of Anastas Granitski, one of the most active translators of popular and widely read literary works, to building the structural basis and spelling and language norms of the Bulgarian literary language of the Revival period. The subject of observation is a part of the translation of the 1858 Тръговско рѫководство (Commercial Guidebook) titled За тръговско писмописанїе (On Commercial Letter Writing), a practical guide for keeping business correspondence. The author analyses nouns with respect to the categories of gender, number, case and definiteness/indefiniteness. The study of the forms helps to identify the original works the translator complied with: the grammars by Neofit Rilski (1835) and Ivan Bogorov (1844).

Coxibs: recent controversies
Authors: Bourne Pauline , Bukhari Marwan , Vickers Andrew
Published: November 2021

The recent public and press interest in the cyclo-oxygenase type 2 inhibitors (Coxibs) has led to discussions between primary care trusts, pharmacists in both primary and secondary care, and clinicians. Two years ago the Journal reported on the gastrointestinal (GI) safety of this new and potentially promising class of drugs, but more recent evidence has suggested a cardiovascular (CV) risk. With one manufacturer voluntarily withdrawing its product from the market, another issuing statements in defence of its product, and the Committee on Safety of Medicines weighing in with its own advice, it was felt that a meeting of interested parties was appropriate. The Journal asked Pauline Bourne, Pharmacist, Marwan Bukhari, Consultant Rheumatologist, and Andrew Vickers, Consultant in Pain Management, for their views.
The clinical significance of dyslipidaemias
Authors: Taylor Alan
Published: November 2021

Most people are aware that cholesterol in the blood can be 'high' or 'low'. Those who are better informed are aware that the serum cholesterol is contained in two fractions, one of which is damaging to health and another which is beneficial. Fewer realise that there are six types of cholesterol containing particles which promote the formation of atheroma, the hard muco-fatty material within the intima of the larger arteries, and only one which confers protection against this. These particles are complex structures containing cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipid and triglyceride. In this article, Dr Alan Taylor, Consultant in Chemical Pathology at Furness General Hospital and Honorary Lecturer in Biochemistry at Lancaster University, describes the work of the specialist Lipid Clinic and gives us an insight into the detailed and complex relationships between the lipid particles and disease, particularly coronary heart disease (CHO).
Monitoring of continuous GNSS stations at Central Anatolia region

Published: November 2021

In this study, the linear behaviors in the North, East and Up directions of 30 CORS-TR stations in the Central Anatolian Region were obtained by the trend component analysis which is the time series component. The time series of the stations between 2017-2020 years were calculated in the Eurasia-fixed frame with the GAMIT/GLOBK software. As a result of the analysis, the average horizontal velocity of the stations in the east of the Central Anatolian Region is 17.59 mm/year in the northwest direction, and the average horizontal velocity of the stations in the west is 18.66 mm/year in the southwest direction. This movement shows the movement of the Anatolian plate in the southwest direction in terms of direction and velocity and is in agreement with other research results. In the linear changes in the up coordinates of the stations, the greatest linear change was detected at the KNY1 (-48.22 mm/year) station. It is thought that this change at station KNY1 is due to the decrease in groundwater level in this region (Konya Closed Basin). In addition, in the standard deviation (m0) values of the time series that obtained as a result of the analysis, linear changes were approximately the same for the north and east directions, and about 2-3 times larger for the up values compared to the north or east directions.
Corrosion Behavior of Cold Sprayed Aluminum Alloys 2024 and 7075 in an Immersed Seawater Environment

Published: November 2021

This paper describes the polarization and basic pitting behavior of 2024 and 7075 aluminum alloys produced by high-pressure cold-spray deposition. While cold spray is showing great promise as a solid-state repair approach for metallic structures, the corrosion behavior of these materials still needs investigation, particularly in describing the potential galvanic interactions with the repaired substrate. Potentiodynamic testing was performed on cold-sprayed (CS) aluminum alloys 2024 and 7075, and corresponding wrought AA2024-T3 and AA7075-T651 alloys for comparison. Testing used ASTM D1141 artificial seawater for potentiodynamic polarization, following the MIL-STD 889C standard for testing with consistent results. Pitting was investigated using 120 h immersion tests, with subsequent photography, scanning electron microscopy imaging, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis of the surface. CS-2024 was found to be more active and reactive than wrought, with enhanced anodic kinetics; it experienced more aggressive pitting than the AA2024-T3 during the immersion test. CS-7075 was found to be less active and more reactive than wrought, with enhanced cathodic kinetics; the CS-7075 demonstrated reduced pitting compared to the AA7075-T651. Possible causes for these differences are discussed, including material homogeneity, CS powder intermetallics, and spray parameters. Overall, CS-2024 and CS-7075 should have little galvanic interaction with their corresponding substrates.
Upregulation of antioxidant nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and its dependent genes associated with enhancing renal ischemic preconditioning renoprotection using levosimendan and cilostazol in an ischemia/reperfusion rat model
Authors: Tawfik Mona , Makary Samy , Keshawy Mohammed
Published: November 2021

Introduction

Ischemic preconditioning (Ipre) provides protection against renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury with its associated remote organ damage. This study examined the enhancing protective effect of Ipre with levosimendan or cilostazol in I/R-induced kidney and lung injury in a rat model.

Material and methods

Rats were divided into: sham-operated, I/R control, Ipre control, I/R + cilostazol or levosimendan and Ipre + cilostazol or levosimendan. Drugs were given 30 min before left renal I/R or 4 cycles of Ipre just before renal ischemia.

Results

The Ipre combined with the implemented drugs enhanced physio­logical antioxidant defense genes including renal nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its dependent genes heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NADPH-quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1) and improved malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase renal tissue levels. The combined effect improved I/R consequences for blood urea, creatinine, and creatinine clearance and improved blood oxygenation and metabolic acidosis. Moreover, the combination improved the renal soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interlukin-6 (IL-6) with histopathological improvement of tubular necrosis with a decrease in the apoptotic marker caspase-3 and an increase in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression.

Conclusions

Cilostazol or levosimendan potentiates the renoprotective effect of Ipre against renal I/R injury, associated with upregulation of antioxidant genes Nrf2, HO-1, and NOQ-1 expression.
Psychological flexibility, temperament, and perceived stress
Authors: Cyniak-Cieciura Maria
Published: November 2021

Introduction

Psychological flexibility (PF) is an ability to engage in meaningful actions regardless of the presence of difficult internal experiences. Higher psychological flexibility was found to be related not only to a lower level of the symptoms of psychopathology, but also with better functioning, lower stress levels and higher well-being. As temperament impacts preferred styles of action, data on the relationships between temperament, psychological flexibility and other criteria can provide ideas on how to improve the process of PF development. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between psychological flexibility, temperament traits and perceived stress.

Material and methods

A total of 254 people, aged 18-93, recruited directly by 13 pollsters from a local community sample, took part in the study. Temperamental traits were operationalized according to the regulative theory of temperament. Participants completed self-report measures.

Results

Psychological flexibility was predicted by emotional reactivity and perseveration and it was a significant predictor of stress beyond and above temperamental traits. While the relationship between stress and two temperamental traits – emotional reactivity and perseveration – was partially mediated by psychological flexibility, activity was related to stress directly.

Conclusions

Psychological flexibility is determined by temperamental traits to some extent. Further research on psychological flexibility and temperament needs to take an empirical design and test possible reciprocal effects.

Authors: Ferreira Julison Andre Perreira , Silva Rosiane Arcanjo da
Published: November 2021

O contraceptivo de emergência (CE), é uma substância hormonal composta por levonorgestrel, um progestágeno isolado, conhecido popularmente como pílula do dia seguinte, bastante utilizado no Brasil para evitar gravidez indesejada, esse medicamento deve ser administrado logo após o coito sexual ou no máximo em até 120 horas após o ato sexual. Embora esse método seja prático, o uso frequente pode levar a perda ou diminuição da eficácia, desencadeando problemas hormonais, e de infertilidade. Este estudo descreve o mecanismo de ação do CE, identicar riscos associados ao uso continuo e os seus efeitos adversos mais comuns. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão de literatura qualitativo descritivo, sobre os riscos associados ao uso de contracepção de emergência, realizados por meios de estudos e informações obtidas com pesquisas em fontes como artigos científicos. Os artigos utilizados para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho foram encontrados em bases de dados como sites, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) e o Google Acadêmico. O CE não tem um mecanismo de ação preciso, mas sabe-se que ele altera processos fisiológicos da fecundação. Previne a ocorrência da ovulação, interfere na fertilização, com o transporte do embrião para o útero, ou inibe a implantação no endométrio. De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) relata que o CE tem alta concentração hormonal, seu uso em demasia pode prejudicar a fertilização do óvulo, em vista disso ele é contra indicado para mulheres que desejam engravidar futuramente e para grávidas que possuem riscos de doenças ginecológicas causadas por diferentes parceiros e também em paciente com risco de trombose vascular, tromboembolismo, diabéticos com complicação vascular, hipertensão descontrolada, doenças sanguíneas, pessoas obesas, mulheres que tem o fluxo menstrual em excesso. O CE é uma verdadeira bomba de hormônios é pode conter dez vez mais hormônios comparados ao contraceptivo convencional, o uso abusivo pode causar vários danos ao organismo feminino, bem como, efeitos adversos que envolvem além de náuseas e vômitos, efeitos tromboembólicos e outras reações tensão mamarias, hemorragia vaginal, fadiga, cefaleias, vertigens, astenia e dores na pélvica. Conclui-se, CE tem como função impedir uma possível gravidez indesejada após coito desprotegida possuindo assim suas vantagens e desvantagens. Contudo deve ser usado com cautela, já que o mesmo provoca uma sobrecarga hormonal no organismo feminino, gerando serias consequências para sua usuária, isso quando usada em excesso e sem conhecimento prévio, por ser um medicamento de fácil acesso.

Abstract. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a major atmospheric pollutant and precursor of sulfate aerosols, which influences air quality, cloud microphysics, and climate. Therefore, better understanding the conversion of SO2 to sulfate is essential to simulate and predict sulfur compounds more accurately. This study evaluates the effects of in-cloud aqueous-phase chemistry on SO2 oxidation in the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2). We replaced the default parameterized SO2 aqueous-phase reactions with detailed HOx, Fe, N, and carbonate chemistry in cloud droplets and performed a global simulation for 2014–2015. Compared with the observations, the results incorporating detailed cloud aqueous-phase chemistry greatly reduced SO2 overestimation. This overestimation was reduced by 0.1–10 ppbv (parts per billion by volume) in most of Europe, North America, and Asia and more than 10 ppbv in parts of China. The biases in annual simulated SO2 mixing ratios decreased by 46 %, 41 %, and 22 % in Europe, the USA, and China, respectively. Fe chemistry and HOx chemistry contributed more to SO2 oxidation than N chemistry. Higher concentrations of soluble Fe and higher pH values could further enhance the oxidation capacity. This study emphasizes the importance of detailed in-cloud aqueous-phase chemistry for the oxidation of SO2. These mechanisms can improve SO2 simulation in CESM2 and deepen understanding of SO2 oxidation and sulfate formation.

Published: November 2021

Abstract. A hybrid bin microphysical scheme is developed in a
parcel model framework to study how natural aerosol particles and different
types of hygroscopic seeding materials affect the precipitation formation. A novel parameter is introduced to describe the impact of different seeding
particles on the evolution of the drop size distribution. The results of
more than 100 numerical experiments using the hybrid bin parcel model show
that (a) the Ostwald-ripening effect has a substantial contribution to the
broadening of the drop size distribution near the cloud base. The efficiency of this effect increases as the updraft velocity decreases. (b) The efficiency of hygroscopic seeding is significant only if the size of the seeding particles is in the coarse particle size range. The presence of the water-soluble background coarse particles reduces the efficiency of the seeding, (c) The efficient broadening of the size distribution due to the seeding depends on the width of the size distribution of water drops in the control cases, but the relation is not as straightforward as in the case of the glaciogenic seeding.
Structural, petrophysical, and geological constraints in potential field inversion using the Tomofast-x v1.0 open-source code
Authors: Giraud Jérémie , Ogarko Vitaliy , Martin Roland , Jessell Mark , Lindsay Mark
Published: November 2021

Abstract. The quantitative integration of geophysical measurements
with data and information from other disciplines is becoming increasingly
important in answering the challenges of undercover imaging and of the
modelling of complex areas. We propose a review of the different techniques
for the utilisation of structural, petrophysical, and geological information
in single physics and joint inversion as implemented in the Tomofast-x
open-source inversion platform. We detail the range of constraints that can
be applied to the inversion of potential field data. The inversion examples
we show illustrate a selection of scenarios using a realistic synthetic
data set inspired by real-world geological measurements and petrophysical
data from the Hamersley region (Western Australia). Using Tomofast-x's
flexibility, we investigate inversions combining the utilisation of
petrophysical, structural, and/or geological constraints while illustrating
the utilisation of the L-curve principle to determine regularisation
weights. Our results suggest that the utilisation of geological information
to derive disjoint interval bound constraints is the most effective method
to recover the true model. It is followed by model smoothness and smallness
conditioned by geological uncertainty and cross-gradient minimisation.

Published: November 2021

Abstract. This paper presents the MPI-based parallelization of the three-dimensional hydrodynamic model SHYFEM (System of HydrodYnamic Finite Element Modules). The original sequential version of the code was parallelized in order to reduce the execution time of high-resolution configurations using state-of-the-art HPC systems. A distributed memory approach was used, based on the message passing interface (MPI). Optimized numerical libraries were used to partition the unstructured grid (with a focus on load balancing) and to solve the sparse linear system of equations in parallel in the case of semi-to-fully implicit time stepping. The parallel implementation of the model was validated by comparing the outputs with those obtained from the sequential version. The performance assessment demonstrates a good level of scalability with a realistic configuration used as benchmark.
SMAUG v1.0 – a user-friendly muon simulator for transmission tomography of geological objects in 3D

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Knowledge about muon tomography has spread in recent years in the geoscientific community and several collaborations between geologists and physicists have been founded. As the data analysis is still mostly done by particle physicists, we address the need of the geoscientific community to participate in the data analysis, while not having to worry too much about the particle physics equations in the background. The result hereof is SMAUG, a toolbox consisting of several modules that cover the various aspects of data analysis in a muon tomographic experiment. In this study we show how a comprehensive geophysical model can be built from basic physics equations. The emerging uncertainties are dealt with by a probabilistic formulation of the inverse problem, which is finally solved by a Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithm. Finally, we benchmark the SMAUG results against those of a recent study, which however, have been established with an approach that is not easily accessible to the geoscientific community. We show that they reach identical results with the same level of accuracy and precision.
HESS Opinions: Chemical transport modeling in subsurface hydrological systems – Space, time, and the holy grail of “upscaling”
Authors: Berkowitz Brian
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Extensive efforts over decades have focused on quantifying chemical transport in subsurface geological formations, from microfluidic laboratory cells to aquifer field scales. Outcomes of these efforts have remained largely unsatisfactory, however, largely because domain heterogeneity (in terms of, e.g., porosity, hydraulic conductivity, geochemical properties) is present over multiple length scales, and “unresolved”, practically unmeasurable heterogeneities and preferential pathways arise at virtually every scale. While spatial averaging approaches are effective when considering overall fluid flow – wherein pressure propagation is essentially instantaneous and the system is “well mixed” – purely spatial averaging approaches are far less effective for chemical transport, essentially because well-mixed conditions do not prevail. We assert here that an explicit accounting of temporal information, under uncertainty, is an additional, but fundamental, component in an effective modeling formulation. As an outcome, we further assert that “upscaling” of chemical transport equations – in the sense of attempting to develop and apply chemical transport equations at large (length) scales, based on measurements and model parameter values obtained at significantly smaller length scales – is very much a holy grail. Rather, we maintain that it is necessary to formulate, calibrate and apply models using measurements at similar scales of interest, in both space and time.
Risk perception of local stakeholders on natural hazards: implications for theory and practice
Authors: Mărgărint Mihai Ciprian , Niculiță Mihai , Roder Giulia , Tarolli Paolo
Published: November 2021

Abstract. In Romania, local stakeholders' knowledge plays a role in
making decisions for emergencies, supporting rescue officers in natural hazard events, coordinating, and assisting the affected populations
physically and psychologically. However, despite the increasing occurrence
and severity of natural hazards in the Iași metropolitan area (of north-eastern
Romania), there is a lack of knowledge of local stakeholders on how to
encourage the population regarding safety actions. For this reason, we
interviewed 118 local stakeholders to determine their risk awareness and
preparedness capacities over a set of natural hazards, in order to understand where
deficiencies in knowledge, action, and trust are greatest. Results reveal
substantial distinctions between different threats and among stakeholders
based on their cognitive and behavioural roles in the communities. The roles
of responsibility and trust are important driving factors shaping their
perception and preparedness. Preparedness levels are low, and, for many,
learning and preparatory actions are needed to build resilience to the
negative occurrences of natural hazards. As the stakeholders' role is to direct
interventions in affected areas by managing communication initiatives with
the entire population of the community, there is a need to create
stakeholders' networks, empowering local actors and serving as a bridge
between authorities' decisions and local people, making effective risk
management plans, and securing more lives and economies.

Introducción: desde el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la Argentina se estableció la identificación y seguimiento de casos y contactos estrechos como una estrategia clave para cortar la cadena de transmisión del virus. Desde el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires se desarrolló un circuito de llamados telefónicos a casos y contactos estrechos para brindar pautas de alarma, medidas de aislamiento domiciliario y detectar situaciones que requieran acciones de gestión.

Materiales y métodos: ante el aumento de casos en el mes de junio de 2020, el “Voluntariado para el Abordaje Epidemiológico de casos COVID-19 y detección de contactos estrechos” surge como propuesta para incorporar estudiantes de grado al circuito de llamados. Durante el período julio-octubre se desarrollaron tres cohortes consecutivas y participaron 51 estudiantes de distintas carreras de salud del Instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

Este trabajo se enmarca en una sistematización de experiencias como propuesta metodológica para la cual se conformó un equipo integrado por coordinadores/as y estudiantes.

Objetivos: analizar el voluntariado implementado desde el marco de la sistematización de experiencias. Además, este trabajo se propone describir el desarrollo y las estrategias de capacitación, organización y comunicación e indagar en los sentidos que tuvo el voluntariado para los/as estudiantes.

Resultados: se contactó al 20% (n = 1226) del total de los 6068 casos positivos del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires en dicho período y se derivaron 195 acciones de gestión. Desde la perspectiva de los/as voluntarios/as se destacó la posibilidad de tener contacto con pacientes, desarrollar habilidades comunicacionales y sentir que aportaron un “granito de arena” en el contexto de pandemia.

Conclusiones: el voluntariado excedió los objetivos iniciales del circuito de llamados, para transformarse en un espacio de aprendizaje, intercambio y formación. Este trabajo invita a reflexionar sobre los perfiles profesionales del campo de la salud y a dialogar con propuestas formativas basadas en el aprendizaje complejo y el encuentro con escenarios reales.
Storytelling in a frameless screen: Screenwriting for VR and AR at Pentridge Heritage Precinct
Authors: Dionysus Atalanti
Published: November 2021

Cinematic virtual reality (CVR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are emerging as storytelling media that enable practitioners to move from traditional 2D filmmaking to explore narratives within a frameless screen. This article describes the challenges of writing an interactive extended reality (XR) documentary for a site-specific location. It focuses on the award-winning, practice-led research project, A Miscarriage of Justice XR, produced at Melbourne’s Pentridge Prison heritage precinct in 2020. It claims that the screenwriter is the principal designer of augmented and virtual reality documentaries and that conceiving and composing XR experiences requires taking an “experience design” (XD) approach, exploiting the “user’s experience” (UX).

The liminal role of the screenplay: Pre-production, the screen idea and the visual concept
Authors: John Juliet
Published: November 2021

The screen idea is a scholarly term used to describe the collective idea for a narrative screen project that exists in the minds of the collaborators as their concept for the work is evolving. The term has mostly been related to the script development phase of a project to elucidate the liminal form and function of the screenplay during that period. The screen idea can also be related to subsequent phases of conventional commercial screen production, such as the intensive planning period known as pre-production. One of the central activities during pre-production is the process undertaken by key heads of department – director, production designer and director of photography (DOP) – in conceiving a visual style with which to tell the story. This group is sometimes referred to as the visual triumvirate. The visual concept developed by the triumvirate sets out a plan for how the formal qualities of the work, such as colour, contrast, camera movement and lens choice, will be used to drive and enhance the expression of the narrative. During this phase, the imagery inferred through the words of the script begins to find tangible form, thereby contributing to the evolution of the screen idea as it progresses beyond the script development phase. Through examples taken from creative practice in recent Australian film and television, alongside the author’s own industry experience, this article examines factors influencing the process of negotiation between the triumvirate as they develop a visual style for their screen projects.
On making Marvellous: A performance about old age and death made out of conversation, improvisation and distillation
Authors: Joyce Hester , Rogers Meredith , Davey Maude
Published: November 2021

Here we respond to the making of Marvellous (2021), a theatre work about ageing, and reflect on mothering and daughtering generally and our relationships with our own nonagenarian mothers in particular. Using autobiographical and life writing techniques in three voices we (the makers) develop the content of Marvellous to portray the intimacies of ageing and approaching dying, of memory and forgetting. We use this opportunity to contextualise Marvellous within each of our theatrical histories mirroring the fragmentary form of our theatre piece.
Filming Young Writers at Montsalvat: Intermediality and the creative potential of performed readings
Authors: Waddell Terrie , Skeltys Nicole
Published: November 2021

The 2020 March-November coronavirus lockdown period in Melbourne (Australia) led to the suspension of many arts/entertainment programs, but it also provided an opportunity to launch innovative online projects. An informal partnership between Montsalvat artists’ colony and La Trobe University in Victoria, allowed the short story winners of La Trobe’s 2019 Young Writers’ Award to be read for film by professional stage and television actors: Anisha Senarate, Emily Taheny, Cal Wilson and Maude Davey. Initially proposed to Montsalvat as an online alternative to its community arts schedule during intermittent lockdown months, the Young Writers project was complete and uploaded in March 2021. The filmed stories, shot on the grounds and in the unique gothic styled buildings of Montsalvat, demonstrate the intermedial possibilities available to contemporary literary and performance-based pedagogy and practice. This article elaborates on the nature and value of this approach to storytelling and references the historical and contemporary nature of performed readings that informed the development of this project.

Introducción: Existe evidencia de que el apoyo social es una variable fundamental en la investigación y en la intervención con familias en contextos de salud y enfermedad crónica. Objetivo: Obtener las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido (MSPSS) en cuidadores primarios informales de pacientes con cáncer. Método: Estudio instrumental, en el que se entrevistó a 257 cuidadores primarios informales (CPI) que acudían a consulta externa en un Instituto Nacional de Salud en la Ciudad de México para el tratamiento contra el cáncer. Los participantes fueron seleccionados de manera no probabilística, de los cuales 227 eran mujeres (83,7%); con un rango de edad de 18 a 65 años (M =31, DT = 9,06); el 45,6% estaban casados, 61,11% tenían hijos y dedicaban más de 30 horas a la semana al cuidado del paciente. Los cuidadores respondieron un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos y clínicos, la MSPSS (versión traducida al español) y la Escala de Malestar Psicológico de Kessler (K-10). Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) y un análisis de confiabilidad (Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach). Resultados: El AFC obtuvo índices de ajuste para la MSPSS (CMIN 55,23; GFI 0,997; AGFI 0,995; NFI 0,996; RMR 0,053), y un coeficiente confiabilidad para la escala completa α=0,908. Además, se probó la validez de criterio divergente mediante la correlación de los puntajes de la MSPSS y los puntajes de la K-10. Conclusiones: Este estudio aporta evidencias de validez y confiabilidad satisfactorias para la MSPSS y, por tanto, es un instrumento sensible para la medición de apoyo social en poblaciones de cuidadores familiares de pacientes con enfermedades crónicas.

Published: November 2021

Como agentes de salud discípulos de una cosmovisión eminentemente materialista y con escasa atención a nuestro mundo interior, los profesionales sanitarios, a menudo desconocemos del potencial de nuestra presencia en el marco del encuentro terapéutico. Este artículo pretende profundizar sobre nuestra capacidad de estar presentes frente al desconocido que sufre, entendida como una condición inherente a todo ser humano y como una facultad que todos podemos reconocer, explorar y cultivar para ponerla al servicio de nosotros mismos y de aquellos a quienes acompañamos. Desde el reconocimiento del profesional como su propia herramienta terapéutica, se introducen los riesgos y oportunidades de la relación de ayuda, el rol de las emociones en el encuentro, el concepto de presencia terapéutica y el papel de la autoconciencia del profesional. Se recogen algunas referencias expertas sobre la presencia terapéutica. Se describen las bases neurofisiológicas y las características de la presencia y su papel en la co-regulación con el paciente. Y finalmente se hacen algunas propuestas para el cultivo de la presencia.

The process of European integration has never followed a clear path and the current EU predecessors had never been by far the only efforts of the regional integration in Europe. Created in the 1950s, the European Communities as today’s EU predecessors, have overdue emerged in a very broad area populated by international organizations and various cooperation institutions. This organization, only by matching economic and political challenges, succeeded in becoming the most important cooperation forum between European states. Although in the early 1950s the Western European states could often choose between various forms of regional cooperation, today the EU is frequently seen as the only available at the European level option and the only model of institutional governance.

The Olympic sports development in the context of marketing and their professionalization

Currently, the sports industry is generated by a professional movement. The association policy has strong repercussions on the degree of professionalism, efficiency and freedom of initiative in the activity of professionals in the field. In modern society, professional sports are presented as a type of business, as an important part of the entertainment industry, as well as one of the most complex forms of trade. In other words, we can mention that professional sport is a type of entrepreneurial activity, whose purpose is to make a profit from the sale of the competitive show. In the last decade, professional sports have actively developed, both nationally and internationally, so that the practice of entering into partnerships has expanded, if we refer to athletes who are interested in working in foreign clubs. The professionalization of sport is an objective, inevitable process that contributes to an increase in the effectiveness, technicality, aesthetics and entertainment of sport. In addition, placing sport on a new organizational and economic basis gives the state the opportunity to supplement its budget with additional financial resources [3, 4]. However, the characterization of the dynamics of the development of professional sports, reflected by several authors, attests to the fact that, through its professionalization, sport loses its function and humanistic role in society. "Professional sport is a social disaster, because its product does not only consist of victories and results that constitute the glory and image of a state, but involves people who have lost their health" [5]. In professional sports, the principle of the Olympic sport "Fair - play" loses its meaning, leaving room for the one referring to obtaining "Victory at any cost" (intimidation of the opponent, aggression, fraud, severe psychological pressure on the competitor out of competition and in the competitive process). We are currently witnessing the commercialization of sport and the fact that the Olympic movement is beginning to be a "synthesis of sports performance, advertising technology and public policy". Olympic sports are distancing themselves from mass (ordinary) sports, arguments highlighted by the following aspects: the rapid growth of sports achievements is not in line with those of the physical condition of the population. At the same time, Olympic sports guide and ensure the subsidization of huge sums from a state budget. For example, the budget for the Tokyo Olympics was 1.6 - 1.8 trillion Japanese yen, or about 14.5 - 16.2 billion euros for 33 sporting events, 47 disciplines and 324 events, at which was attended by over 12,000 athletes [7].

The following article presents physical exercises and the theoretical-praxiological model for singers’ warm-up. The purpose of this paper is to streamline the warm-up for entertainer singers by using PPAT means. The development of technical and interpretive skills, implementation of PPAT relevant to the field and their improvement throughout the activity are some of the most important concerns of each entertainer singer. The complex method of physical and vocal training includes body gymnastics exercises, exercises of the muscular systems that participate in the emission of sound and vocal exercises. Complex exercises are recommended for maintaining mental and physical qualities, improving general motor skills and phono-articulatory movements. These are basic not just for the development of sound emission, but also for the prevention of the so-called professional diseases. The creative development of PPAT for future specialists has a benefic effect on intellectual, emotional-volitional and practical activity. The means, methods and forms of PAPT are aimed at optimally meeting the requirements of the educational, professional, social and daily life spheres of vocalists. PPAT, as a training factor for singers, includes the following: the greater the motor experience and perceptions of the vocalist are, the more perfect the coordination of movements determines a good physical training, the faster the new action is developed, because man can previously create a preliminary model of any motor act in his mind and reproduce it quickly. The essence of PPAT is the optimal use of resources, methods and forms of physical training, in order to achieve and maintain mental and physical qualities. The artistic activity of a vocalist has possibilities to integrate the influence on his spiritual growth and, in particular, on the improvement of his personality. It is important that the specialist in the field acts with interest, with a sufficient degree of independence, in other words creative, and the creative approach to actions is the basis of education.
