Published: March 2023

Descoberta no início do século XX, a vitamina D recebeu esse nome por suceder as vitaminas A, B e C. Suas propriedades antirraquíticas desencadearam uma série de estudos que evidenciaram sua ação sobre o metabolismo do cálcio e fósforo, que juntamente com o paratormônio (PTH) e a calcitonina, mantêm a mineralização e a formação óssea normais. O presente projeto apresentado é construído com base nos princípios da iniciação científica, objetivando, através do acompanhamento, assegurar a promoção da saúde da população através dos conceitos da alimentação e práticas saudáveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento e utilização da vitamina D em adolescentes e discorrer sobre o conhecimento dessa população da importância dessa vitamina, bem como da utilização ou não da mesma como suplemento alimentar, através de aplicação de questionário entre adolescentes. Caracteriza-se como um estudo com método científico, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa de pesquisa transversal com técnica de amostragem não probabilística por meio da metodologia bola de neve (snowball sampling). Foram convidados a participar adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos, de vários países, sendo que a pesquisa foi realizada única e exclusivamente no formato on-line, por meio de questionários virtuais via Google Formulários, em português e em inglês. Durante os meses de junho e julho de 2021 foram avaliados indivíduos de forma remota, através de questionário estruturado de administração indireta. Como parte do questionário, tiveram perguntas sobre o consumo de alimentos fontes de vitamina D para posterior análise da frequência alimentar dos mesmos. Os indivíduos foram inquiridos após consentimento informado. Conforme os gráficos e tabela acima, as idades predominantes de respostas foram adolescentes de 13, 14, 16 e 17 anos e do sexo feminino. Do total de participantes, 336 (91,55%) acreditam que a população não está bem informada sobre vitaminas e suplementos vitamínicos e o consumo alimentar diário de alimentos ricos em vitamina D é baixa entre os participantes da pesquisa. O aparecimento de doenças e isolamento aumentaram o interesse e preocupação no aumento da imunidade e utilização de suplementos. Também deve-se estimular o consumo dos alimentos ricos em vitamina D. Desta forma, espera-se uma abrangência coletiva desta pesquisa em prol do fornecimento de práticas adequadas e ações que apresentem subsídios para prevenção de problemas de saúde decorrentes da má alimentação na população e promoção da saúde com ênfase na sustentabilidade social.
Calcium-dependent and calcium-mimicking pathways regulate lead-induced myometrial contraction in water buffaloes

Lead produced dose-dependent contractile effect on buffalo myometrium and it was more marked on tonicity and amplitude while almost negligible on phasic contractions and frequency. In the presence of Ca2+-free Ringer Locke solution (RLS) and nifedipine, lead-induced uterotonic effect was significantly attenuated with decrease in Emax thus, suggesting major role of extracellular Ca2+ in uterotonic effect of lead and involvement of L-type Ca2+-channels in mediating this response. Direct excitatory effect of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) on myometrium indicates possible Ca2+-influx via store operated calcium channels (SOCC). Lead failed to evoke any excitatory effect in the concurrent presence of nifedipine (1μM) and CPA (10μM), thus intracellular calcium seems to have negligible role in lead-induced myometrial contraction. In Ca2+-free high K+ (80 mM) depolarizing solution, lead-induced excitatory effect was attenuated by GF 109203X; which suggests permeation of lead through L-type Ca2+ channels to replace Ca2+ which directly activates protein kinase C (PKC) to produce excitatory effect. Thus lead seems to interact with calcium in buffalo myometrium in a dynamic fashion and exerts calcium-depending and calcium-mimicking effects; and therefore, lead is likely to have adverse effect on reproductive functions in buffaloes.
Ovarian diseases in Holstein dairy cows, factors determining their occurrence and impact on reproduction traits and breeding costs
Authors: CITEK J , NEMECKOVA D , STADNIK L , STUPKA R
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to assess the factors determining ovarian disorders occurrence and quantify the influence of ovarian diseases occurrence on fertility traits and breeding costs in selected herd of dairy cows. Holstein cows (67) calved between 1 January 2012 and 30 August 2012 were monitored. Since 80 days postpartum cows with BCS higher than 2.5 and increasing BCS tendency were included into the synchronization program. Higher parity and summer calving season caused higher ovarian disease occurrence. Only slight nonsignificant relationship between cystic ovarian disease and energy balance was observed. Cows with detected cystic ovarian disease (COD) had significantly longer days open period for 24 days, longer calving to first service interval for 17 days and higher number of services per conception for 0.2 than cows without COD. Owing to higher number of services per conception in cows with COD, the breeding costs increased significantly for 258 CZK (14.25 USD). Energy balance traits did not differ significantly in relationship with COD occurrence, only slight decrease in otherwise higher BCS was detected in the first month of lactation in cows with COD occurrence.
Supplemental effect of different levels of energy and protein along with groundnut straw (Arachis hypogaea L.) based ration on nutrient utilization in dromedary camels
Authors: GUPTA LOKESH , ROY A K , TIWARI G S
Published: March 2023

The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of feeding different levels of energy and protein supplementation along with groundnut haulms (Arachis hypogaea L.) on nutrient utilization in dromedary camels. Three concentrates mixtures were formulated, viz. high protein and low energy (T1); high energy and low protein (T2); and medium protein and energy (T3). The digestibility coefficients for dry matter and organic matter were higher in T3 as compared to T2 and T1 but there was nonsignificant difference between T1 and T2 on one hand, and between T1 and T2 on the other hand. There was nonsignificant difference between the groups for NDF, ADF and hemicellulose digestibility. The digestible crude protein (DCP) content was significantly higher in T1 followed by T3 and T2 but there was reverse trend for total digestible nutrient (TDN) content. The nitrogen balance was significantly lower in group fed on high energy and low protein content through the concentrate mixture. The results of the study concluded that the nutrient utilization was higher in T3 treatment as compared to either high protein or high energy supplementation.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out to analyse milk constituents and yield traits using 1,582 first lactation monthly test day records of 224 Murrah buffaloes, calved between 2006 and 2014. The overall least-squares means of monthly test day milk constituent traits, viz. fat, protein, lactose, solids-not-fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) were 7.96 ±0.07, 3.86±0.02, 5.63±0.02, 9.97±0.01 and 17.75±0.07%, respectively. The overall least-squares means ofmonthly test day milk constituent yield traits, viz. milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, lactose yield, SNF yield and TS yield were 6.95±0.15 kg, 549.76±12.97 g, 269.17±6.12 g, 392.52±8.65 g, 681.02±14.97 g and 1231.00±27.46 g, respectively. The estimates of milk constituent traits were found higher in autumn and lower in summer season, except SNF (%) that was found higher in rainy season. All the yield traits were found higher in winter and autumnseason and lower in rainy season. Milk protein (%) was significantly higher during early stage (<90 days) and decreased along with stage of lactation. On the other hand, milk lactose (%) was minimum during early stage of lactation and increased thereafter. All the yield traits were significantly higher during early stage and decreased with the stage of lactation. All the milk constituent traits were higher in buffaloes calved up to the age of 51 months; whereas, buffaloes calved after 51 months of age had higher yield traits. Phenotypic correlations revealed that, milk fat, lactose and TS per cent had very low and negative correlation with monthly test day milk yield. The milk fat (%) had very high and positive correlation with TS (%), indicating that, buffaloes with higher fat content may be selected for higher TS content in milk. Data on variation of milk constituent and yield traits over the years, seasons, stages of lactation and age of buffaloes can be utilized to improve quality as well as quantity of milk in breed improvement programmes.

Contratación laboral de adultos mayores en el Perú: El derecho a la igualdad como solución a la crisis de seguridad social que se avecina
Authors: NÁJAR BECERRA CÉSAR ALEJANDRO
Published: March 2023

Durante la última década la demografía, las crisis económicas y la robotización - automatización del empleo, han traído consigo una crisis latente en el campo de la seguridad social que poco a poco ha venido siendo materia de estudio por los profesionales del derecho. En efecto, el envejecimiento de la población como fenómeno en las distintas sociedades del mundo, sumado a la ausencia de empleo generado por la economía informal y la robotización, han traído consigo una preocupación por la imposibilidad futura de sostener el sistema de seguridad social vigente, lo que hace necesaria la adopción de políticas públicas claras para enfrentar el inminente colapso de dicho sistema. De cara a lo anterior, el presente artículo tiene como intención identificar dicha problemática en el contexto peruano, reflexionando sobre como la contratación laboral de adultos mayores puede representar una alternativa de solución a la crisis de seguridad social que se avecina, garantizando a su vez, el principio de igualdad contenido en nuestra Constitución.

Geographic variation in out‐of‐pocket costs for radiation oncology services
Authors: Liu Dan , Yu Serena , Webster Samuel BG , Moradi Bahare , Haywood Philip , Hall Jane , Aranda Sanchia , van Gool Kees
Published: March 2023

Objectives

To examine out‐of‐pocket costs incurred by patients for radiation oncology services and their variation by geographic location.

Design

Analysis of patient‐level Medical Benefits Schedule (MBS) claims data linked with data from the Sax Institute 45 and Up Study.

Setting, participants

People who received Medicare‐subsidised radiation oncology services in New South Wales, 2006–2017.

Main outcome measure

Mean out‐of‐pocket costs for an episode of radiation oncology (during 90 days from start of radiotherapy planning service), by geographic location (postcode‐based), overall and after excluding episodes with no out‐of‐pocket costs (fully bulk‐billed).

Results

During 2006–2017, 12 724 people received 15 506 episodes of radiation oncology care in 25 postcode‐defined geographic areas. The proportion of episodes for which the out‐of‐pocket cost was less than $1 increased from 39% in 2006 to 76% in 2017; the proportion for which out‐of‐pocket costs exceeded $500 declined from 43% in 2006 to 10% in 2014, before increasing to 17% in 2017. For care episodes with non‐zero out‐of‐pocket costs, the mean amount rose from around $1186 to $1611 per episode of care during 2006–2017. The proportion of radiation oncology episodes bulk‐billed exceeded 90% in nine areas; in seven areas, all with exclusively private care provision of radiation oncology, it was 21% or smaller. Within geographic areas, out‐of‐pocket costs for individual care episodes varied widely; in ten areas with lower bulk‐billing rates, the interquartile range for costs ranged from $240 to $1857.

Conclusion

Out‐of‐pocket costs are an important determinant of access to care. Although radiotherapy costs for most people are moderate, some face very high costs, and these vary markedly by location. It is important to ensure that radiation oncology services remain affordable for all people who need treatment.

When Haste Shakes the Scholar’s Pen: Some Scholarly Works on Dagbon after the Regicide of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II, King of Dagbon, Ghana
Authors: Bolaji M. H. A.
Published: March 2023

Until the regicide of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II, the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict – which has been intractable since the colonial era – was largely understudied. Nevertheless, the gruesome “murder” of the king provoked some scholarly interest in the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict. This article reviews significant scholarly works on the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict after the regicide.Also, it explores and interrogates the diverse perspectives which scholars have employed to explain the complexities of the conflict. Furthermore, it critiques some scholars’ uncritical acceptance that the rotational system of succession between the Abudu and Andani has been the tradition and presents the extent of its operation in Dagbon dynastic politics. Additionally, this article unearths some misrepresentations of historical facts and personalities and important dates. This article concludes that since historical truths play crucial roles in prosecuting intractablery to get the historical facts right in documenting them for posterity.

This issue is one of two that spotlight Francophone West Africa, a long-planned project. Here, all the papers are in French, an editorial decision informed by the need to increase further the visibility and readership of the journal in French speaking countries worldwide. To be sure, this has been the case in the past decades as revealed in our analysis of downloads of papers in French following increased submission and published peer review of such papers. Yet, as the journal became swamped with submissions in French, we feel we must not relent in ensuring that they do not lag behind those in English.
The second of the two issues will be in English with, of course, all papers focusing on Francophone West Africa. It will focus on different socio-economic aspects of some of the countries the authors chose for their respective research and analyses.
Dr Hélène V Quashie, of LARTES-IFAN Université Cheikh Anta Diop / Institut des Mondes Africains Senegal was charged with the responsibility of co-ordinating all the papers for this special issue, in terms of getting them ready after the mandatory blind review. She titled the issue which is essentially a monograph given its specialised focus.
L’État face au phénomène de la migration irrégulière vers l’Europe : à la recherche de la migratoire du Sénégal
Authors: Agne Malado
Published: March 2023

L’article propose une analyse du phénomène de l’émigration clandestine au Sénégal en direction de l’Europe, dans un contexte de gouvernance mondiale des migrations internationales. Plus précisément, il interroge la place et le positionnement de ce pays de transit et de départ dans le jeu complexe des rapports internationaux, inter-régionaux et interétatiques intervenant en matière migratoire. L’analyse révèle que le recours massif à des sources (juridiques et politiques) et à des ressources (financières et matérielles) exogènes conduit à une atrophie du pouvoir politique de l’État sénégalais en matière de migration, en contradiction avec les aspects essentiels du principe de souveraineté.

Published: March 2023

This work presents the results of the feasibility test for the development of the digital tool “Aprendo”, for teaching practice, in the context of remote teaching and connectivism. Through this tool, it is intended to draw an overview of the profile or learning style of the predominant students in the classroom, which can help the teacher to use more specific didactic methodologies and practices, enhancing the results of the teaching-learning process. A qualitative-quantitative analysis was used, through the application of a survey (A) to 80 students of different educational levels and another survey (B) to 28 teachers in general. The data from survey A showed that 67.5% of students learn through examples and 56.3% prefer to correlate different sources of information. Regarding the structure of the classes, in 73.8% of the cases there was a diversity of opinions and 86.3% of the students stated that the participation of another person added something to their knowledge. This corroborates the principle of connectivism about the connection between information from different sources. The results of B indicated a favorable opinion on the development and usefulness of the tool for 100% of the teachers, since 96.4% stated that they would change their pedagogical practice after obtaining the results of the application of the tool, while only 3.6% declared that would not change.
Comparative Risk of Harm Associated with Zopiclone or Trazodone Use in Nursing Home Residents: a Retrospective Cohort Study in Alberta, Canada
Authors: Watt Jennifer A. , Bronskill Susan E. , Lin Meng , Youngson Erik , Ho Joanne , Hemmelgarn Brenda , Straus Sharon E. , Gruneir Andrea
Published: March 2023

Background
There is growing evidence of harm associated with trazodone and nonbenzodiazepine sedative hypnotics (e.g., zopiclone); however, their comparative risk of harm is unknown.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study with linked health administrative data, which enrolled older ( ≥66 years old) nursing home residents living in Alberta, Canada, between December 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018; the last follow-up date was June 30, 2019. We compared the rate of injurious falls and major osteoporotic fractures (primary outcome) and all-cause mortality (secondary outcome) within 180 days of first prescription of zopiclone or trazodone with cause-specific hazard models and inverse probability of treatment weights to control for confounding; primary analysis was intention-to-treat and secondary analysis was per-protocol (i.e., residents censored if dispensed the other exposure drug).
Results
Our cohort included 1,403 residents newly dispensed trazo-done and 1,599 residents newly dispensed zopiclone. At cohort entry, the mean resident age was 85.7 (standard deviation [SD] 7.4), 61.6% were female, and 81.2% had dementia. New zopi-clone use was associated with similar rates of injurious falls and major osteoporotic fractures (intention-to-treat-weighted hazard ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.90-1.48; per-protocol-weighted hazard ratio 0.85, 95% CI 0.60-1.21) and all-cause mortality (intention-to-treat-weighted hazard ratio 0.96, 95% CI 0.79-1.16; per-protocol-weighted hazard ratio 0.90, 95% CI 0.66-1.23) compared to trazodone.
Conclusions
Zopiclone was associated with a similar rate of injurious falls, major osteoporotic fractures, and all-cause mortality compared to trazodone—suggesting one medication should not be used in lieu of the other. Appropriate prescribing in-itiatives should also target zopiclone and trazodone.

Politische Medizin
Authors: Braun Jutta
Published: March 2023

Die Gesundheitspolitik der DDR zwischen NS-Vergangenheit und sozialhygienischer Utopie. Das Gesundheitswesen zählte in der sozialistischen »Fürsorgediktatur« zu den Schlüsselbereichen staatlichen Handelns. Die DDR erhob den Anspruch, die soziale Ungleichheit vor Krankheit und Tod zu beseitigen. Auf der Grundlage sozialhygienischer Ideen versuchten Mediziner und Politiker der DDR, die Gesellschaft zu »heilen«. Jutta Braun zeigt, dass der Einfluss der Minister für Gesundheitswesen erschreckend gering war, während die SED-Kader die Entscheidungen trafen. Zudem untersucht sie die NS-Vergangenheit von Mitarbeitern des Ministeriums und den Umgang mit den nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen im Gesundheitswesen. Weiterhin geht die Autorin der Frage nach, wie sich die Politik des SED-Staates auf die gesundheitliche Versorgung seiner Bürger auswirkte: So konnten durch staatlich angeordnete Impfungen Infektionskrankheiten erfolgreich bekämpft werden. Doch entstanden zugleich neue Asymmetrien im Zugang zu gesundheitlichen Leistungen. Jutta Braun untersucht darüber hinaus die politische Rolle der Arbeitsmedizin, den Systemwettstreit mit der Bundesrepublik sowie Fälle politischer Repression.
Überdehnung des Möglichen
Authors: Luhn Anna
Published: March 2023

Figuren des Akrobatischen sind in der Literatur der Moderne omnipräsent. Zwischen 1850 und 1925 werden sie zum Träger poetischer, philosophischer und politischer Visionen der Zeit. Um die lange Jahrhundertwende bricht sich in Europa eine überwältigende Faszination für Zirkus und Varieté Bahn: Das Artistenmilieu wird motivischer Stichwortgeber der Künste, Projektionsfläche antibürgerlicher Imaginationen und gesellschaftsutopischer Gegenerzählungen. Im Kontext dieses Popularitätshochs gerät das akrobatische Vermögen den literarischen Taktgebern der Zeit zum Träger einer vielgestaltigen Semantik der Überschreitung: Flaubert erklärt sich zum Artisten, Kafka zum Kunstreiter, Baudelaire fordert akrobatische Disziplin, Nietzsche seiltänzerische Kühnheit. Als Grenzgänger, der scheinbar mühelos die Schwerkraft überwindet und unter Einsatz des Lebens über dem Abgrund balanciert, gilt der Akrobat noch den Avantgarden als programmatisches Symbol für ein neues Subjektverständnis im Spannungsfeld von spielerischer Leichtigkeit und tödlichem Ernst, von Disziplin und Überwältigung, von Möglichkeit und Unmöglichkeit. Anna Luhn untersucht die Konzeptualisierungen des Akrobatischen im literarischen Diskursraum der Moderne erstmals in ihren historischen Voraussetzungen, ästhetischen Effekten und utopischen Fluchtpunkten.
Perspective Chapter: Changing the Educational Metaphors
Authors: Moscardini Alfredo
Published: March 2023

Change in society is happening—change in knowledge, change in working practices, availability of employment (robotics and AI) and change in management. How is Higher Education responding to these changes? This chapter takes the view that the metaphors employed by educationalists play an important role. It is suggested that machine-based metaphors emanating from Newtonian thinking are now outdated and need to be replaced with ones based on the systems approach. The chapter identifies some common metaphors used by governments, HE management and HE employees. It then examines the consequences of changing them. The chapter does not promote a specific point of view but is intended to stimulate debate in this important area.
A Historical Review of Mechanical Circulatory Support
Authors: Martinez Hugo , R. Alberson Neely , J. Guerra Jarot , A. Salas De Armas Ismael
Published: March 2023

Meaningful and contemporary data regarding the clinical use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is founded on the work conducted in the 1950s when a “heart-lung” machine was incorporated to provide support during surgical interventions. Following this milestone, the need to support artificial circulation in patients with heart failure initiated an investigational and legislative collaboration to implement the mission-oriented Artificial Heart Program in the United States during the 1960s. In the subsequent decades, technological discoveries have integrated a series of mechanical systems employed as therapeutic options for short- and long-term artificial circulation in children and adults with advanced heart failure. Since their clinical application, MCS devices have been employed as a bridge to transplantation in over 4000 patients globally. In recent years, the adverse effects and economic burden of MCS have been counterbalanced by the harmonization of therapeutic protocols, the inclusion of multidisciplinary insight, and the allowance of families and patients to participate in shared decision making to address candidacy. In this chapter, we provide a review of the historical aspects of MCS, a therapeutic option for overcoming complexities encountered in reestablishing adequate hemodynamic states and providing a reasonable quality of life.
Klosterneuburger Librettodrucke aus dem 18. Jahrhundert – neu bewertet
Authors: Perutková Jana
Published: March 2023

The music collections of the monasteries and convents in Central Europe contains many interesting sources. To date, they have been only partially accessed and catalogued. Furthermore, not only the music itself has to be considered, but also various other types of sources such as librettos, periochæ, inventories, invoices, requests, diaries, correspondence etc. These sources need to be described and evaluated in a detailed manner, and only on this basis may questions about the interweaving of repertoire or personnel between the different monasteries – both in the field of liturgical and secular music – arise. The aim of this paper is to take a closer look at a valuable source material, namely the libretti preserved in Klosterneuburg Abbey. The Klosterneuburg libretto collection currently contains a total of 77 exemplars in three different groups. The oldest prints date from the last decade of the 17th century to the most recent from 1765. The largest proportion is made up of the Lenten oratorios and those oratorios performed at the Holy Sepulchre during Holy Week (46 pieces). The second group represents a series of oratorios in honour of St. John of Nepomuk (14 pieces), and the last comprises various homage and occasional works (17 pieces). This paper follows on from the essay by Otto G. Schindler, who did the fundamental cataloguing of the libretti in the library of the Augustinian canons' monastery of Klosterneuburg in the second half of the 20th century. This text attempts to classify the librettos of the Abbey library according to the current state of research and to present some interesting examples.

DEI Maturity: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at a Not-for-Profit Organization
Authors: Van Linden Christophe , Roberts Paula T. , Warren D. Lee ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

This teaching case focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at a museum. At the beginning of 2021, the organization found itself in a crisis when more than 2,000 community members and 85 anonymous employees demanded the resignation of the museum’s President due to the language he defended in a job posting advocating for a job applicant to diversify audiences while “maintaining the traditional white core audience of the museum” (Salaz 2021). Students take on the role of an external consultant to assess DEI maturity at the museum. The case challenges students to propose implementation and impact metrics for a DEI action plan. The case facts provide a timely and relevant setting to discuss DEI challenges in not-for-profit organizations.
Digital Simulation: Applying Critical Thinking to the Practice of Ethical Decision Making
Authors: Caulfield Jay L. , Lee Felissa K. ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2023

Teaching the nuances of ethical decision making is particularly challenging in fully online, asynchronous courses where real-time discussion is not an option. Digital simulations, in the context of an integrative online ethics course, can offer applied learning and assessment experiences. However, scholarship on the impact of digital simulations for teaching ethical decision making is limited. The purpose of this study is to explore whether digital simulation used as an assessment for ethical reasoning and complex decision making is effective in helping business students heighten their awareness of values in tension and discern ethical paths to resolution. We conduct an exploratory analysis of two ethics simulations used in teaching nine graduate business ethics classes offered in an asynchronous, online format. We discuss the results in terms of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics’ five-step ethical decision making framework and outline implications for teaching and future research on business ethics simulations.
Protection in DRM and pricing strategies for digital products considering quality degradation
Authors: Zhang Linlan , Zhang Yu
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we develop a model in which a monopolistic firm manufactures and sells a digital product, by incorporating digital rights management (DRM), quality degradation of pirated products, and government copyright enforcement into the consumer’s utility function. We determine the monopolist’s optimal pricing strategies and the appropriate DRM protection level through mathematical deduction. Our results show that when the government copyright enforcement is moderate and the quality of pirated products is relatively high, implementing a DRM system is optimal for the monopolist. However, in most other cases, DRM-free is better for the monopolist. This result may explain why DRM is not very popular in some industries. Our results suggest that choosing the right price, focusing on content innovation, and weakening DRM protection may be a better strategy for firms now. The results also indicate that DRM-free may be more prominent in the digital music industry than in the software and video games industries.

Akcent ili naglasak znači isticati jedan slog u riječi jačinom i visinom u odnosu na ostale slogove, dok je akcentuacija ili prozodija (< grč. prosodia = naglašavanje) dio nauke o jeziku koja predstavlja sve osobine naglašenih, ali i nenaglašenih, slogova, te odnose među njima. U savremenome bosanskom jeziku postoje četiri vrste akcenta: kratkosilazni, kratkouzlazni, dugosilazni i dugouzlazni. U ovome radu analizirali smo najizraženije prozodijske karakteristike govorā učenika Behram-begove medrese, koji dolaze iz raznih krajeva našega kantona, pa i šire. Prema tome, oni svojim govorom uglavnom predstavljaju karakteristike govorā cjelokupnog stanovništva mjestā iz kojih dolaze. Određeni broj grešaka registriranih u njihovim govorima vezan je za gotovo cijeli naš kanton; posebno njegov ruralni dio, dok su neke greške vezane samo za neka mjesta. Primijećeno je da su akcenatske pogreške, te općenito jezičke greške, više zastupljene kod učenika nižih razreda nego kod starijih učenika. Posebna zasluga za to pripada kvalitetnim predavanjima iz predmeta Bosanski jezik i književnost, te uspješnom radu mnoštva sekcija u sklopu vannastavnih aktivnosti: Žurnalistička sekcija, Recitatorska sekcija, Prevodilačka sekcija, Debatna sekcija itd.
Wall-rock alteration in the Cochiti mining district, New Mexico
Authors: Bundy Wayne M.
Published: March 2023

Hydrothermally altered volcanic and intrusive rocks (mainly andesite and monzonite) of Tertiary age are associated with gold- and silverbearing quartz veins. Two stages of epithermal quartz veins occur, but only the first stage is associated with economic mineralization.

Alteration zones, named with respect to clay minerals present in the greatest abundance, are (from the vein outward): (1) dickite, (2) illitekaolinite, (3) vermiculite-halloysite, and (4) chlorite-montmorillonite. Interpretation of X-ray spectrometer traces indicates that chlorites become enriched in magnesium in a veinward direction. Montmorillonites become progressively enriched in calcium toward the vein; this generalization is corroborated by chemical analyses. Illite is present in intense zones of alteration as a 1Md (1-layer monoclinic disordered) polymorph.

Base exchange, with resultant mixed-layer clay minerals as intermediate phases, is an important mechanism for transitions between 2:1 clay minerals. Transformation from 2:1 to 1:1 clay minerals has involved, at least partially, selective solution and recrystallization, with amorphous aluminum silicate (allophane) as an intermediate phase. Order of formation of 1:1 clay minerals is apparently allophone- halloysite- kaolinite- dickite.

Chemical analyses of the altered rocks show a marked veinward decrease in basic ions; less significant changes are shown by acidic ions. Analyses of relatively pure illites indicate a general veinward decrease in basic cations.

Alteration associated with the two stages of quartz veins proceeded as acidalkaline fronts, the second stage being more acidic because of previous leaching by first-stage solutions.

Increasing intensity of alteration is regarded as a guide to quartz veins and possible ore deposits.
Metallogenic provinces of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico
Authors: Burnham C. Wayne
Published: March 2023

Some of the metallogenic provinces of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico are defined by the geographic distribution of sulfophile trace elements in more than 500 samples of chalcopyrite and sphalerite from 172 mining districts.

Maps that show the geographic distribution of tin, silver, and the "combined metal content" in chalcopyrite, and of silver and the "combined metal content" in sphalerite, reveal three major belts of high trace-element content in the Southwest. These belts, which are here called the Eastern, Central, and Western metallogenic belts, are consistent in trend and position with a beltlike distribution of the major ore deposits of copper, gold, silver, and other metals. However, the deposits of a given metal tend to be concentrated in certain segments of the metallogenic belts; consequently, the metallogenic provinces, in the ordinary sense, are merely component parts of the larger beltlike features.

The metallogenic belts also are generally consistent in position and trend with the major tectonic features, although they do not appear to be closely related in time. Hence, it is suggested that both the metallogenic belts and the major tectonic features are the effects of a more fundamental cause, which perhaps is a combination of compositional heterogeneities and associated physical discontinuities in the deep-seated source regions of the ores.
Marketing de influência: uma relação tridimensional entre influenciadores digitais, marcas e accounts
Authors: Rebelo Rafaela , Nogueira Mafalda
Published: March 2023

Research goal: To explore the perception gaps of three key players regarding the design and implementation of influencer marketing strategies: brands, digital influencers and accounts, in the fashion, beauty and lifestyle sectors. Methods: Qualitative approach using 11 in-depth interviews with triads of participants involved in fashion, lifestyle and beauty influence marketing campaigns. Originality/Relevance: Study of the three-dimensional relationship between digital influencers, brands and accounts, and the role of each in influencer marketing strategies. Results: The perception gaps in the views of the different stakeholders are notorious. Brands, IDs and accounts are different actors in influencer marketing. It is precisely due to the role of each actor that the perception gaps are denoted, as their views are essentially centred on their role and not on the influential action as a whole. Theoretical contributions: The study allowed us to characterize the relationships between brands and digital influencers and to understand the role of accounts in the mediation of the relationship. It is, therefore, the analysis of a three-dimensional relationship, and not just the Digital Influencer – Brand dyad. In terms of management Contributions, the study provides a set of best practices in the management of a complex relationship between Digital Influencers, Brands and Accounts which has not be found in previous literature, highlighting the importance of understanding the evolutionary trajectory of IDs, and the fundamental role of the briefing in the success of marketing campaigns of influence. Keywords: Influencer Marketing, Digital Influencers, Relationship, Evolutionary Trajectories, Personal Brands
Empreendedorismo social: Motivações e oportunidade para a criação de emprego
Authors: Bernardino Susana , Coelho Magda
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The creation of a social entrepreneurship initiative presents a huge potential in terms of creating social value. In addition to contributing to solving a social problem, it also allows for the creation of jobs in society. This research aims to analyze the main motivations that accompany the decision to create a social entrepreneurship initiative, as well as the potential that social entrepreneurship has for job creation, especially self-employment. Methodology: The research has an exploratory nature, based on a qualitative methodology. Primary data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with five social entrepreneurs in Portugal. Results: The results obtained indicate that the creation of the social initiative was essentially triggered by the recognition of a market failure and need for social intervention. The research indicates that the most relevant motivations for creating the social entrepreneurship initiative are related to pull factors, namely altruism, passion, desire for innovation and exploitation of the identified opportunities. Although it was not an explicit purpose in the creation of the initiative, there is a positive impact in terms of job creation, allowing social entrepreneurs to develop their professional activity in a full-time manner, while contributing to the resolution of the social issue previously identified. Job creation in society, although not being a main purpose, is seen as positive by social entrepreneurs. Originality: The article has contributed to broadening the knowledge on the motivations for the creation of a social entrepreneurship initiative, an area that, although relevant, still needs further development. The article also explores the potential of social entrepreneurship for job creation. Keywords: Social Entrepreneurship, Motivations, social entrepreneur, Employment, Self-employment.
Voces de mujeres tercermundistas
Authors: Lara Gisett Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la importancia de la literatura comprometida desde el feminismo. Tomando como punto de partida los fundamentos teóricos de Simone de Beauvoir, como precursora del estudio de la condición de la mujer. Abordando el concepto de “otredad” y “alteridad” el artículo dialoga con diferentes postulados relevantes en relación a la temática, colocando especial atención a la estrategia de indentificación de las autodefinidas “mujeres de color”, mujeres víctimas de la “colonialidad del género”, mujeres tercermunistas, mestizas, negras, chicanas, indígenas, etc. que se identifican como no-blancas. Estas mujeres formaron coaliciones feministas conscientes de la importancia de la unión entre ellas, tomando como base la condición de mujeres víctimas de la “colonialidad del género”, que en mayor o menor medida, afecta a todas quienes se encuentran entre la frontera de enunciación y el deseo de descolonización.
discursos feministas das mulheres muçulmanas nos haréns de Fatima Mernissi
Authors: Freitas Priscilla Cláudia Pavan de
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo analisa os discursos feministas que são construídos a partir dos enunciados sobre as mulheres muçulmanas do convívio familiar de Fatima Mernissi. Estes são revelados por intermédio de um discurso constituinte, isto é, discurso de origem, que, neste caso, é uma obra literária de cunho autobiográfico, escrita pela própria protagonista Fatima, a qual narra as suas memórias de infância e os diálogos com as mulheres com quem conviveu em dois haréns (um em Fez e outro em uma fazenda familiar). Os discursos analisados evidenciam mulheres que almejam transgredir fronteiras dentro de suas próprias circunstâncias sociais por meio de diferentes agências (sujeitos agentes). Entende-se por “agências” a “capacidade de cada pessoa de realizar seus interesses individuais, em oposição ao peso do costume” (MAHMOOD, 2019). Logo, o artigo permite refletir sobre a condição das mulheres muçulmanas marroquinas e sobre seus diferentes objetivos liberatórios e, assim, compreender de que forma a desigualdade de gênero pode aparecer em uma sociedade na qual se perpetuam valores patriarcais em detrimento da igualdade proposta nos pilares da fé e da prática islâmicas.
Ser ou tornar-se mulher
Authors: Ferreira Patrini Viero , Paim Luciane de Lima
Published: March 2023

É inegável que o estereótipo acerca da figura feminina no contexto social é permeado por padrões repressivos e normativos, que restringem a liberdade da mulher e reforçam a desigualdade existente entre os gêneros masculino e feminino. Pensando nisso, este artigo tem por objetivo aproximar os contos “I love my husband”, de Nélida Piñon, e “Amor”, de Clarice Lispector. A intenção é identificar de que maneira a figura da mulher é representada nesses contos, reconhecendo semelhanças e diferenças dessas apresentações. Para isso, foram utilizados autores como Beauvoir, Funck, Bourdieu e Saffioti, entre outros.
Estetizando a existência
Authors: Siqueira Emanuela Carla , Vieira Priscila Piazentini
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho é resultado de um diálogo interdisciplinar sobre as possibilidades entre as “estéticas da existência”, propostas pelo filósofo Michel Foucault, e a poética da estadunidense Elise Cowen (1933-1962). Partindo da ideia de que o rótulo de “poesia confessional” não dá conta de algumas poéticas escritas por mulheres no final da década de 1950, nos Estados Unidos, pretendemos perceber práticas que levem à estetização da existência, e não apenas relatos de cenas cotidianas ou confissões deliberadas, como propôs a crítica literária da época. Percebendo que não é por acaso a escolha pela prática da poesia, que exige algum rigor de forma e linguagem, acreditamos que seja uma das escolhas mais interessantes de contra-ataque aos meios de poder modernos, normalizadores na prática literária. Para isso, trabalhamos com crítica literária feminista, como Adrienne Rich (2017) e Gilbert & Gubar (1979), além de críticas feministas foucaultianas, como Margareth Rago (2013), Margaret McLaren (2016), Taylor; Vintges (2006) e Jo Gill (2004), que intersecionam as críticas foucaultiana e literária.
