Mediating Effects of Emotional Self-Efficacy on Food Consumption and Dietary Quality Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Web-Based Survey on Chinese Individuals (Preprint)
Authors: Jiao Wen , Liu Matthew Tingchi , Schulz Peter Johannes , Zhao Xinshu , Chang Angela
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of psychosocial distress is increasing worldwide, which impacts people’s dietary behaviors and habits. Preparing and cooking food may facilitate the mitigation of psychosocial distress during epidemic-related quarantines. Emotional self-efficacy (ESE) measures various aspects of perceiving and understanding emotions and helping others modulate their emotions. ESE affects dietary behaviors and habits and mediates the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and diet-related behavior.

OBJECTIVE

This study attempts to identify whether the predictor variable, socioeconomic status, and the criterion variable, dietary quality, form a linear relationship. The statistical association between SES and dietary quality may be higher when considering ESE than when it is not considered.

METHODS

A questionnaire survey was designed to evaluate the impact of ESE on food-related behavior and that of SES on dietary quality. Adults from Mainland China participated in a web-based survey from April to June 2020. Factor analysis was used to report the survey results and item reliability. Multiple linear regression was performed to identify the association between ESE and dietary behavior, and further analytics analyzed how socioeconomic factors affected the dietary quality of those who were influenced by food advertising promotion (FAP).

RESULTS

The data derived from 441 responses showed that the ESE scale exhibited satisfactory internal consistency and predictive validity for Chinese individuals. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly decreased the food-consumption level, particularly in the case of salty snacks and alcoholic beverages. The respondents who reported a higher SES tended to have a higher ESE level than those with a lower SES. ESE mediated the relationship between SES and dietary quality (β=-.019, P<.001). When considering the influence of ESE, the direct association between SES and dietary quality was stronger than when ESE was not considered (β=.094, P<.05). Furthermore, this direct relationship was stronger for those who were influenced by FAP (β=-.317, P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The relationship between SES and food consumption with regard to dietary quality is stronger for people who encounter environmental influences. ESE is a well-established tool for evaluating how people cope with negative emotions. The findings support the mediating impact of ESE on the conditional process linking SES to dietary quality, which provides further insights about the dynamic process of psychological constructs in behavioral outcomes. This study highlights that the lockdown imposed to contain an infectious agent affected people’s dietary behaviors and habits and advocates for organized nutritional support during future epidemic-related quarantines.
NUTRIENT INTAKE OF WEST AFRICAN DWARF GOATS FED DIETARY MODELS OF ENSILED CASSAVA PEEL MEAL FORTIFIED WITH CALCIUM-PHOSPHORUS SALT
Authors: AD Ajagbe , SO Aribido
Published: December 2021

Objective: This study was conducted to determine nutrient intake of growing West African Dwarf goats fed different dietary models of ensiled cassava peel meal fortified with Calcium-Phosphorus salt mix.
Methods: Twenty (20) growing West African Dwarf female goats aged 6–8 months with an initial weight of 8.2 kg ± 0.25 were used for the study. They were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with five goats per treatment in a completely randomized design. The dietary treatments were Diet 1 (block), Diet 2 (crunchy), Diet 3 (pellet), and Diet 4 (mash).
Results: Results obtained indicated that dry matter intake ranged from 466.18 g/d to 575.53 g/day with significantly (p<0.05) higher value in pellet model while crude protein intake was higher in mash model than other treatments. Ether extract and crude fiber intake values were higher 40.13 g/day and 148.08 g/day in pellet feed model. Ash intake ranged from 61.32 g/day to 95.86 g/day. Block and crunchy models had significantly (p<0.05) higher value for ash intake while values obtained for nitrogen-free extract intake was also higher (p<0.05) in pellet model 22.62 g/day than other models. Values of fiber fractions intake obtained were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by dietary models with higher values for neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and hemicellulose in mash while acid detergent lignin was significantly (p<0.05) for pellet model.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that supplementing goat diets with different dietary models of ensiled cassava peel meal fortified with Calcium- Phosphorus salt mix can boost intake of goats for better productive performance and productivity.

Authors: NASIM MIDHET , ZEB AMIR , KHAN SAMRIN
Published: December 2021

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine the level of non-compliance with long-term glaucoma therapy in patients presenting in glaucoma department of Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital and to identify the health-seeking predictors affecting it.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 5 months was conducted on glaucoma patients who are taking follow-up visits in glaucoma department for 6 months or more. The level of compliance with glaucoma medication (dependent variable) was assessed through a scale at first and further transformed into binary variable afterward. Chi-square test of independence was used followed by logistic regression to find out the predictors of compliance.
Results: A total of 200 patients participated in the study. Majority of them were from urban background (n=125, 62.5%) and were diagnosed with glaucoma 1–5 years (n=104, 52%) back. Almost 16.00% of patients were not giving follow-up on given appointment. Moreover, 10.00% were not taking proper medications and prescribed dosage of medications was not taken by 21.5%. Intraocular pressure was higher than normal limits in 13.00%. Self-medication (χ2 (df) =5.44(1), 0.01, OR=0.28 (0.09–0.81) and doctor-patient communication (χ2(df)=18.25(1), 0.03, OR= 2.27 (1.06– 4.86) were significant health-seeking predictors of glaucoma treatment compliance.
Conclusion: Blindness due to glaucoma is an avoidable condition if underlying factors such as self-medication is discouraged and doctor-patient communication can be improved in the glaucoma department.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: The objective of this study was to find the histologic and motor activity effect of lead on prenatally and postnatally exposed Wistar rats.
Methods: In this study, twelve Wistar Rats were used and grouped into four groups of two females and one male. Group I rats served as the control and allowed feed and water freely. The rats in Group II were administered 500ppm of Pb through drinking water from gestation day 8 (GD8) to parturition (GD21). While Group III rats were given 500ppm of Pb in drinking water from postnatal day 1 (PND1) to PND21. The rats in the fourth group (Group IV) were given 500ppm of Pb from GD8 to PND21. Palmer grasp reflex was conducted to assess the motor activity of the rat pups. The animals were then humanely sacrificed and the frontal cortices were isolated for routine histological processing.
Results: The histological study has shown normal neurons in the control group while degenerating cells exhibiting karyolysis, pyknosis, karyorrhexis, vacuolation were seen in the lead-treated groups. Group II and Group IV showed considerate deficit in their motor activity while Group III showed mild effect.
Conclusion: From this study, lead exposure of Wistar rats at both prenatal and postnatal period of development has effect on the histology of the frontal cortex as well as on their motor activity.
SOCIAL BUSINESS: GAINING STEAM FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
Authors: NJIE ATHANA PRIESTLY VEKIMA
Published: December 2021

The world is faced with a multitude of pressing problems and needs such as hunger, poverty, disease, poor health care, homelessness, pollution, adverse climate conditions, and other environmental hazards, just to name a few. Volunteer work, charities, and donations and of course the traditional profit-making businesses with all the elegant economic theories surrounding them have not been able address these ills which are a serious plaque to the society. In a bid to satisfactorily reduce or put an end to these societal hazards, Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Winner and the practical genius who pioneered microcredit with his Grameen Bank, has initiated what is today known as social business. Social business is a new kind of business, not for profits, that is dedicated to solving a particular social, economic, or environmental problem that has plagued mankind since time immemorial. The whole idea about social business is to improve the lives of people by harnessing the energy of profit making to the objectives of fulfilling basic human needs. The resounding success stories of the Grameen Bank, the very first social business created by Muhammad Yunus has paved the way for other organizations to follow suit. This paper has demonstrated how social business has moved from a mere theory to a practice undertaken by several organizations that is transforming lives and having the potential to redeem the failed promise of the free-market enterprise.
This Is the End: Earthquake Narratives and Buddhist Prophesies of Decline
Authors: Childs Geoff , Craig Sienna R. , Juenger Christina , Hildebrandt Kristine
Published: December 2021

“This Is the End” presents findings from research in which the authors asked survivors of Nepal’s 2015 earthquakes to describe what they know about earthquakes based on their lifelong cultural and environmental experiences, how they responded to the devastating events, and how they view these earthquakes and their aftermath in terms of cause and consequence. The research settings of Tsum, Nubri, Manang, and Mustang were in the midst of rapid socioeconomic transformations and environmental disruptions when the earthquakes struck. Interviews shortly after the event reveal that many people are familiar with scientific concepts like the movement of tectonic plates, yet they attribute the earthquake’s ultimate cause to human activities that disturb autochthonous deities. Their interpretations suggest parallels with signs of impending doom contained within written prophesies, including a decline in religious devotion, the fraying of social cohesion, and environmental disruptions. The linking of written prophesies with lived experiences points toward a Buddhist understanding of conventional and ultimate realities in which people discuss the material and geophysical causes and consequences of earthquakes while also considering moral and cosmological understandings stemming from socially and environmentally destructive behaviors. This article contributes to a growing literature on the intersections of religion and natural disasters.
Our Land, Our People: A Reflection of Tibetan Buddhist Space in Contemporary Art
Authors: Daugherty Jay
Published: December 2021

This article illustrates how a contemporary Tibetan artist disrupts expectations in the creation of his political art. Utilizing Robert Smithson’s dialogic of site and non-site, Tenzing Rigdol’s 2011 site-specific installation Our Land, Our People is interpreted as a reenactment of a culturally specific historical practice of moving space. This approach shares important similarities to historical cases in which physical spaces were relocated to and within Tibet, allowing for the application of 20th century theories arising in the spatial turn to contemporary Tibetan art.
Beyond the (Dis)Empowerment Binary: Inevitability and the Feminization of Agriculture in Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Kellogg Naomi Jade , Andersen Anton Boesgaard , Biraschi Rebecca , Puri Susmita
Published: December 2021

Changing demands of the agricultural sector, due to male out-migration, have been shown to influence power dynamics and livelihood strategies within households, communities, and broader society. These shifts have led to a rise in women’s agricultural engagement in Nepal. In hypothesizing the outcomes of what has been defined as the feminization of agriculture on the women left behind, the existing literature has created a (dis)empowerment binary. Based on field work conducted in Chitwan, we initially confirm that women do experience that increased agricultural engagement presents both the potential for an increased burden and an opportunity for empowerment. Our research then goes beyond this binary, by utilizing the concept of inevitability, revealing both the micro and macro level nexi of migration, agriculture, and gender in relation to the feminization of agriculture in Nepal. By underscoring the double inevitability of both male out-migration itself and women’s roles within their households we argue we can more accurately represent our informants’ lived realities and thereby provide an alternative to the (dis)empowerment binary for future research. This includes the recognition of a relational nature of the feminization of agriculture phenomenon, which is often overlooked in the current discourse.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA MEMÓRIA E DA CULTURA NO MULTICULTURALISMO ESCOLAR:
Authors: Pereira Paulo , Giareta Paulo
Published: December 2021

Esse trabalho propõe levantar um debate em torno dos conceitos memória, cultura(s) e diversidade e como esses conceitos estão diretamente ligados a uma perspectiva multicultural dentro da sala de aula. Portanto, pretende-se trabalhar com algumas legislações que pontuam a importância do ensino da diversidade dentro da escola, dando ao ambiente escolar a obrigatoriedade de ensinar sobre outras culturas e saberes, como a indígena e africana, já que salientam que ambas são de extrema importância para a formação nacional do brasileiro. Procura-se, no decorrer desse trabalho, apresentar uma pesquisa bibliográfica baseada a partir de Poso e Monteiro (2021), Candau e Moreira (2008), Nora (1993), Freire (1996) e Pereira (2008). Dessa forma, pode-se apresentar uma perspectiva de ensino que preze pela diversidade e respeito pelo diferente, que valorize as culturas e as memórias dos alunos, que dialogue com a realidade do alunado e que preze por formar sujeitos pensantes e críticos e não apenas indivíduos alienados pela história eurocêntrica. O resultado almejado é proporcionar um debate que interligue a importância da História para o respeito à diversidade por meio das memórias e da cultura que existe dentro do âmbito escolar e sugerir algumas práticas didáticas para que isso ocorra.
AS DIFERENTES LINGUAGENS DA CRIANÇA NA CRECHE:
Authors: Bortolanza Ana Maria Esteves , Oening Letícia Cardozo
Published: December 2021

Este artigo analisa, a partir das narrativas escritas por uma professora de creche, as diferentes linguagens pelas quais se expressam as crianças de 3 anos e suas relações com o desenvolvimento infantil na primeira infância. Caracteriza-se como pesquisa qualitativa (2019-2020), de caráter exploratório, tendo como instrumento de investigação duas narrativas escritas por uma professora de uma creche da rede de Educação Infantil de Tubarão (SC).  A pesquisa baseou-se em estudos na perspectiva histórico-cultural e em autores que discutem a infância, as linguagens da criança e o desenvolvimento infantil. Os resultados evidenciaram que as diferentes linguagens da criança parecem pouco experenciadas na creche, não se estabelecendo relação entre elas e o desenvolvimento infantil. Conclui-se que para o desenvolvimento pleno da criança, na primeira infância, as linguagens precisam ser trabalhadas em suas especificidades, de acordo com suas necessidades, e respeitando suas singularidades. A escola de Educação Infantil, por meio de atividades intencionalmente planejadas, deve garantir as diferentes linguagens como mediadoras da criança no processo de conhecer o mundo, o outro e a si mesma, condições para seu desenvolvimento.

Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar e analisar alguns aspectos dos contextos de influência nacional e internacional da Política de Fomento ao Ensino Médio de Tempo Integral (PFEMTI) que emerge na reforma atual do Ensino Médio no Brasil, a partir de 2016. A expressão “contexto de influência” é entendida como uma das cinco dimensões de análise da trajetória de uma política pública que integra a abordagem conhecida como Ciclo de Políticas, desenvolvida por Ball, Bowe e Gold (1992). Metodologicamente, o artigo resulta de pesquisa documental e qualitativa sobre o tema. Em relação ao contexto de influência internacional, privilegiamos dois documentos da UNESCO:  “Reforma da Educação Secundária: rumo à convergência entre aquisição de conhecimento e o desenvolvimento de habilidade” (2008) e “Protótipos curriculares do Ensino Médio e Ensino Médio Integrado: resumo executivo” (2011).  Também analisamos documentos relativos ao modelo curricular Escola da Escolha, difundido pelo Instituto de Corresponsabilidade pela Educação (ICE) através de parcerias público-privadas. Considera-se que a PFEMTI se insere em um contexto de influência internacional, marcado por intervenções de Organismos Internacionais e em um contexto nacional, caracterizado por reformas do Estado e pela emergência de novos marcos regulatórios que ampliaram as condições de influência do Terceiro Setor na educação pública através das parcerias público-privadas. Apresenta-se como exemplo dos aspectos do contexto de influência nacional alguns elementos da atuação do ICE e dos princípios que sustentam o Escola da Escolha, modelo curricular de Ensino Médio de Tempo Integral que se expande no país através deste Instituto nos últimos anos.

Authors: Kalaimani Priya Subramanian
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Dairy ghee is a prominent synergistic fat product that is comprised of various health benefiting compounds such as milk fat globule membrane, conjugated linoleic acid, and short-chain free fatty acids. It emanates numerous beneficial actions on human heath are anticancer, antidiabetic, anticholesterolemic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiatherogenic and anitadipogenic properties. In order to increase the quantity for marketing purposes, ghee is adulterated with low quality fats. These adulterated low quality fats have long-chain fatty acids and trans-fats which causes cardiac diseases, obesity and renal dysfunction. Hence, the present study aimed to detect the adulterant in ghee by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy method. It also shows the quantitative increase of adulterated animal body fat with ghee. The peak C=C increases with the raise of alkene concentration. The N-H bend peak, which represents amines, determines the trans-fat adulteration, causes health-related issues. Thus, FT-IR technique proved the ideal tools for detecting and estimating the degree of ghee adulteration. Keywords: FT-IR, Ghee, Adulteration, Commercial brands, Beef fat.
Lecture 10: Rhetoric and Behavioral Economics
Authors: McCarron Gary
Published: December 2021

Although behavioural economists are not rhetoricians, and rhetoricians are not behavioural economists, they are both interested in persuasion, even as they come at it from different points of view. Lecture 10 argues that behavioural economics examines our choice-making practices and considers how a range of influences works in concert with conventional economic interests to shape the procedures by which we come to decisions. These influences use rhetoric to nudge people to adopt particular beliefs, engage in specific behaviour, and endorse ideas believed to be in the public interest.
Les économistes comportementaux ne sont pas rhétoriciens, et les rhétoriciens ne sont pas économistes comportementaux, mais ils s’intéressent tous les deux à la persuasion, même si leurs points de vue diffèrent. Le cours 10 soutient que l’économie comportementale examine notre manière de faire des choix et il considère comment un éventail d’influences, de concert avec des intérêts économiques conventionnels, façonne les procédures par lesquelles on prend des décisions. Ces influences utilisent la rhétorique afin d’inciter les gens à adopter des croyances particulières, adopter des comportements spécifiques, et appuyer des idées censées être dans l’intérêt public.
Pautas de escolarización más allá de la educación obligatoria en España: análisis regional por generaciones
Authors: Miret Gamundi Pau
Published: December 2021

¿Hasta qué punto continuar estudiando más allá de la escolarización obligatoria depende del género, la generación y el territorio, o se encuentra mediatizado por el estatus migratorio o de la familia de origen? A través de la Encuesta de Población Activa, en su versión de panel rotante trimestral de hogares, se reconstruye la probabilidad de seguir estudiando entre 17 y 25 años para las cohortes nacidas entre 1970 y 1994. La muestra se compone de observaciones protagonizadas por individuos, enmarcados en hogares y residentes en 52 unidades. La técnica estadística es la regresión logística multinivel. Se concluye que las probabilidades son mayores entre las mujeres, en crisis económica, entre la población nacida en España con padre y madre también autóctonos, como mayor sea el nivel de estudios del núcleo parental y para la juventud residente en lugares con composición del mercado laboral cualificada y bajo porcentaje de inmigración internacional.
¿Cómo es el dolor del parto? Dime cómo te duele y te diré qué tipo de madre eres
Authors: García Rodríguez María Isabel , Biedma-Velázquez Lourdes , Serrano del Rosal Rafael
Published: December 2021

Investigar la experiencia del dolor requiere el empleo de una perspectiva teórica constructivista, que permita ir más allá de posiciones analíticas biologicistas y también de las subjetivistas, porque ambas suelen ofrecer análisis incompletos de la realidad. En este artículo se persigue mostrar que los aspectos sociales influyen sobre la percepción del dolor del parto, teniendo en cuenta que está aceptado, científica y comúnmente, que aquel es uno de los dolores más intensos que se puede experimentar. Para ello se han realizado diez grupos de discusión compuestos por mujeres que fueron madres hace no más de dos años, que responden a criterios de edad, nivel de estudios, situación laboral y hábitat. Tras analizar los discursos sociales, los principales resultados muestran que al dolor del parto se le atribuyen sentidos diferentes en función del tipo de maternidad con el que se identifican las mujeres. El tipo de maternidad ejercida está relacionado con las condiciones sociales de vida de las mujeres y con los discursos circulantes en sus entornos que, mayoritariamente, se construyen sobre la base de conocimientos comunes, ajenos al ámbito científico. Observamos, asimismo, que a través de las prácticas sociales relacionadas con la maternidad, las mujeres persiguen la obtención de capital simbólico, que es el reconocimiento social de ser una buena madre. Una práctica útil para obtener capital simbólico es el dolor del parto que, además, introduce una jerarquía del valor social de las mujeres en el campo de la maternidad. El artículo muestra que el dolor tiene una dimensión social que modela su experiencia y también la existencia de un consenso entre las mujeres para asumirlo como una práctica útil y conveniente.
Lecciones de la austeridad: un análisis del impacto de género de la Gran Recesión en España y Portugal
Authors: Salido Cortés Olga
Published: December 2021

Este artículo analiza el impacto de género de la Gran Recesión sobre dos países del Sur de Europa, Portugal y España, examinando los cambios en el patrón de la participación laboral de las mujeres y sus implicaciones desde el punto de vista de la igualdad de género. Pertenecientes a priori al mismo régimen de bienestar mediterráneo, la crisis económica y financiera tuvo no obstante impactos muy diferentes desde el punto de vista del equilibrio de género en el mercado de trabajo, rompiendo la ilusión de una convergencia hacia el modelo generalizado de trabajador universal (“double-earner”) en Europa. Se extraen también consecuencias sobre el giro de las políticas europeas para luchar contra los efectos macroeconómicos de la crisis, que propició el olvido de los objetivos de igualdad de género por la UE y los gobiernos nacionales, y se reflexiona sobre su validez para afrontar la actual crisis del COVID-19.
Security of quantum key distribution with intensity correlations
Authors: Zapatero Víctor , Navarrete Álvaro , Tamaki Kiyoshi , Curty Marcos
Published: December 2021

The decoy-state method in quantum key distribution (QKD) is a popular technique to approximately achieve the performance of ideal single-photon sources by means of simpler and practical laser sources. In high-speed decoy-state QKD systems, however, intensity correlations between succeeding pulses leak information about the users' intensity settings, thus invalidating a key assumption of this approach. Here, we solve this pressing problem by developing a general technique to incorporate arbitrary intensity correlations to the security analysis of decoy-state QKD. This technique only requires to experimentally quantify two main parameters: the correlation range and the maximum relative deviation between the selected and the actually emitted intensities. As a side contribution, we provide a non-standard derivation of the asymptotic secret key rate formula from the non-asymptotic one, in so revealing a necessary condition for the significance of the former.
Max Weber and political theology of Friedrich Naumann
Authors: Kildyushov O. V.
Published: December 2021

In the Weberian literature, it has been repeatedly noted that there is no serious theological interest in the most important provisions of the sociology of religion by Max Weber. This seems paradoxical given the religious-theological context for the development of Webers intellectual project of the social-theoretical hermeneutics of Western modernity. In the first part of the article, the author reconstructs the family and friends religious constellation which determined Webers understanding of the existential significance of religious meanings for certain groups of the modern era. The author mentions Webers close ties with a number of leading theologians of Germany in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, which influenced the heuristics of his writings. The second part of the article focuses on the multifaceted figure of Friedrich Naumann, a public intellectual, who was a Protestant pastor and a reactionary-conservative theologian and became a spiritual-political leader of the German left liberals. The author shows the initial ambivalence of the political-religious situation in the German Empire in the 1880s-1890s, in which Naumann tried to combine Christianity and socialism, and provides a brief overview of the young theologian and social activists gradual turning into a prominent figure of the German journalism and politics. In the third part of the article, the author describes the meeting of two thinkers as fateful for both Weber and Naumann, and emphasizes a radical turn in the worldview of the famous religious theorist and practitioner, who under the powerful influence of Webers personality and argumentation gave up both many previous ideas and pastors office. In conclusion, the author identifies the paradigmatic nature of Naumans ideological-political evolution as typical for a significant part of German intellectuals at the beginning of the 20th century, and considers Naumanns Hegelian acceptance of the modern nation-state as the highest value (following Weber) as a self-fulfilling diagnosis for the crisis modernity on the eve of the First World War catastrophe.
Characteristics of migration from Serbia to Slovakia (on the example of the municipality of Kovačica)
Authors: Stojšin S. , Šljukić M. , Hlavča D.
Published: December 2021

Due to numerous transformation problems which determined the collapse of the industrial sector, unemployment and low living standards, an increasing number of working population leaves Serbia. For a very long time, Serbian emigration was directed primarily to the developed Western European countries (especially Germany and Austria). However, Slovakia has recently joined the narrow circle of countries-destinations for emigrants from Serbia. The article focuses on this wave of the working population emigration from Serbia to Slovakia and considers it in the framework of the contemporary migration theories, especially the push-and-pull factors theory. The research data was compared with the relevant data from previous studies. The research was conducted in the municipality of Kovačica (northern Serbia) with a questionnaire on the sample of 100 respondents (the snowball method was applied), and the authors also used various other data sources: statistical data (censuses, migration statistics, etc.), media reports and scientific papers. Given the unfavorable social-economic context of the Serbian working population emigration and the chosen theoretical framework, the authors considered economic factors as crucial for this wave of migration, which seems to be similar to the previous waves of migration. In general, this assumption was confirmed: emigrants from Serbia go to Slovakia for a variety of reasons, but the key ones are the small salary in Serbia, the impossibility to find a job in ones profession, and a poor financial and political situation in the country. On the other hand, Slovakia attracts Serbian migrants by offering possibilities to earn more money, to have higher living standards, better conditions for education and work, thus, promising a better and predictable future.
Transnationalism and internationalism: Revival of the terms
Authors: Babashkin V. V.
Published: December 2021

The article is a review of the book Living in Two Worlds: Rethinking Transnationalism and Translocality (Moscow: NLO; 2020. 259 p.). The book was one of the results of the research project Transnational and translocal aspects of migration in contemporary Russia conducted at the European University of Saint Petersburg in 2015-2017 with the support of the Russian Science Foundation. The review convincingly shows that the authors of this scientific monograph really succeeded in rethinking the complex social phenomena behind the sociological terms transnational migration and translocal migration. The author of the review tries to answer the questions about reasons for the introduction of these terms into the theoretical scientific discourse and about directions the articles suggest for their rethinking.
The impact of the IFRS 15 implementation on the revenue based earnings management in Poland
Authors:   Department of Accounting, Faculty of Finance, University of Economics, Katowice, Poland, Morawska Izabela
Published: December 2021

Aim/purpose – This paper aims at investigating whether the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers implementation in Poland has affected earnings management that uses discretion in revenue recognition to avoid losses and earnings decreases. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical studies were conducted using a sample of 80 entities from four industries listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) in Poland from 2016 to 2019. Caylor’s (2010) revenue-based model was applied, and an econometric model describing the studied relation was built and verified to this end. Findings – The analyzed entities managed earnings using discretion in accrued revenue recognition to avoid reporting losses. The research results did not confirm that the IFRS 15 adoption in Poland influenced revenue-based earnings management aimed at avoiding losses and earnings decreases. Research implications/limitations – This study warns of the role played by discretion in revenue recognition and recommends careful recognition of revenue under IFRS 15. Limitations of this study are generally related to the models’ specification and a relatively small number of the entities studied. Originality/value/contribution – This study contributes to the literature on revenue- -based earnings management and is one of the first studies on the association between IFRS 15 adoption and revenue-based earnings management in Poland. Thus, this study bridges the research gap in Poland. Keywords: IFRS 15, earnings management, revenue recognition, earnings benchmarks. JEL Classification: M40, M41, M48.

Asimismo, la legitimación del poder del rey estaba vinculada con diversas prácticas culturales de Europa durante la primera mitad del siglo XVII.
“Blanqueamiento sonoro”, occidentalización del bambuco en la segunda mitad del XIX
Authors: Arias Carrera Sergio Daniel
Published: December 2021

El presente texto tiene como objetivo retomar diversas fuentes y argumentos expuestos en la historiografía y musicología sobre el bambuco en el siglo XIX, analizándolos bajo la mirada de los estudios poscoloniales latinoamericanos. Así mismo, se busca responder cómo la élite bogotana utilizó la música como un proto-nacionalismo, siendo un fenómeno previo a las discusiones de inicios del siglo XX sobre la música nacional. Por ende, el presente texto se inscribe en el contexto de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX con el fi n de analizar los proyectos de formación ciudadana que legitimaron los géneros europeos, “blanquearon” los géneros más “populares” y finalmente los desconoció.
proceso de implantación de la lengua castellana como la única en el Imperio español, a través de la mirada de tres obispos de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en Nueva España
Authors: Jiménez Pérez Isla Citlalli

Hacia la mitad del siglo XVIII en la Nueva España se hablaba una gran cantidad de lenguas nativas y no únicamente el español o lengua castellana de los conquistadores. El rey, concretamente Carlos III, y el Estado español vieron esa situación de diversidad lingüística como algo peligroso y en contra de sus intereses, por lo que empezaron a promover políticas lingüísticas en contra de las lenguas de los indios, apoyados por arzobispos y obispos, quienes al ser figuras de una importante le darían cauce a ese objetivo.
Los reglamentos de agua: el caso de Cerrillos a fines del siglo XIX (provincia de Salta-Argentina)
Authors: Medardo Ontivero Daniel
Published: December 2021

Esta investigación estudia a los Reglamentos de Aguas surgidos en Cerrillos (Provincia de Salta- Argentina) en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. El objetivo es establecer la naturaleza prescriptiva de los mismos y avanzar con el conocimiento respecto a los cambios dados, a partir de ese momento, en la gestión y administración del agua para riego en un espacioestratégico para el circuito ganadero orientado al norte chileno. El estudio se basa en información de carácter cualitativa que proviene de la Ordenanza que dio forma al Sindicato de Aguas (creado el 31 de julio de 1886) y al Reglamento de Aguas creado por este un año más tarde, lo cual nos permite aportar al conocimiento de los cambios y permanencias dados, en Hispanoamérica, respecto del manejo del agua para riego a fines del siglo XIX. En este sentido, tanto la discusión teórica como las implicaciones pragmáticas relativas a la organización social alrededor del sistema de riego, son aspectos que, si bien fueron tratados a nivel hispanoamericano -particularmente por contribuciones mexicanas- todavía no han sido tratados en el ámbito de la historiografía regional. De allí, el aporte de la investigación.
Imaginarios femeninos a través de los discursos visuales del semanario Sábado, Quito 1953-1966
Authors: Vallejo Larrea Analía
Published: December 2021

Este artículo analiza la sección “Deténgase aquí mujer” del semanario Sábado en el período de 1953 a 1966. Indaga la construcción de los imaginarios femeninos de la época, los aspectos que tienen una relación directa con las mujeres y los cambios que se han dado a lo largo del tiempo. El análisis muestra la estrecha relación de la mujer con la religión, el interés por parte de los varones de escribir sobre las mujeres y el vínculo de los imaginarios femeninos con la vanidad. También se puede ver repetidamente la importancia que tiene el rol de esposa fiel y de madre, consideradas como características indispensables de una mujer de la época.
Politización, lucha y resistencia en Chile. Una aproximación al caso de la mujer en el Movimiento Juvenil Lautaro (1983-1993)
Authors: Velásquez Meza Javiera
Published: December 2021

El MAPU-Lautaro puso en el tapete diversas cuestiones ante la dictadura y la izquierda renovada. Una de las que destacó fue el rol que asumió la mujer en las filas lautarinas, siendo un rol criminalizado por la prensa y opinión pública con todo lo que significó ser mujer en dictadura y en la entrante democracia. Profundizamos el rol de la mujer en el Lautaro, con todas las peculiaridades que este conllevó per se, y destacamos algunas características de la militancia femenina, desde los procesos de politización, pasando por el desarrollo político-militar, hasta las acciones de lucha y resistencia de las mujeres en la persecución, encarcelamiento y desarticulación del Lautaro. Así mismo, observamos la mirada de la militancia femenina de una de las organizaciones al parecer más idóneas para la consideración política de la mujer, fuera de la institucionalidad gubernamental.
“Feitiços da rua”: os diferentes tempos dos ilegalismos e seus usos a partir da descrição de um “esquema” de transporte complementar no subúrbio carioca
Authors: Rodrigues (UFF) Eduardo de Oliveira
Published: December 2021

As cidades por todo o mundo possuem diferentes tempos que são articulados na construção do seu cotidiano. Essa dialética entre velocidade e lentidão pode ser percebida por vários caminhos, entre eles a observação atenta dos seus modais de transporte. Eles permitem a operação de diferentes regimes de circulação de pessoas e mercadorias que não podem ser compreendidos, no caso do Rio de Janeiro, sem a contribuição das vans e kombis para o seu sistema de transporte. Esses modais complementares reproduzem ainda mais claramente a dialética entre velocidade e lentidão, sobretudo por um elemento que conforma uma diferença: a conjugação de uma série de ilegalismos na sua operacionalização. Neste sentido, o presente artigo objetiva compreender as táticas que possibilitam o enredamento de um “esquema” de transporte complementar no subúrbio carioca. Busco descrever a operação deste mercado encravado nas fronteiras do legal/extralegal como forma de pensar os usos sobre os diferentes tempos que conformam os ilegalismos. A etnografia toma partes da história de Daniel – um motorista de van que objetiva ser policial militar –como exercício que permite não só compreender esse mercado como também apreender alguns significados sobre os ilegalismos na lógica de um possível futuro policial num contexto de precariedade e violência. A estrutura narrativa se desenvolve por meio do acompanhamento de uma tarde na van de Daniel, quando fui designado como seu “cobrador” de passagens por algumas horas.
“Estamos falando de quem chega a ter bi, eles não têm medo de pegar o coronavírus”: as festas e a pandemia, o que classe tem a ver com a percepção do que é um risco?
Authors: Malhão (UNICAMP) Rafael
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo é parte de uma pesquisa sobre os impactos da pandemia entre DJs e músicos. A reflexão aqui proposta emergiu em uma das entrevistas realizadas para a referida pesquisa e o resultado aqui apresentado pode ser visto como um artesanato intelectual (no sentido de Wright Mills) que combina a entrevista com uma pesquisa em materiais jornalísticos on-line sobre a percepção e os efeitos da pandemia. O texto está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira parte, abordo as implicações teóricas e metodológicas envolvidas no estudo das elites. É dedicada especial atenção as dificuldades de acesso às elites, as consequências políticas, científicas e epistemológicas de uma agenda de pesquisa sobre as elites e como tais questões necessitam não só de ecletismo metodológico, mas também de criatividade para lidar com as dificuldades específicas da produção de conhecimento sobre grupos em que a assimetria de poder entre pesquisador e pesquisado é desfavorável para o pesquisador. Na segunda parte, exploro, à luz da discussão entre sociedade risco e sociedade de classes proposta por Ulrich Beck, como está se constituindo a percepção e a experiência dos riscos e formas de enfrentamento da pandemia entre as classes mais abastadas em comparação com as classes que não possuem as mesmas condições materiais.

Often, the lithiasis is large and located at the junction of the middle
and posterior third of the duct, in the hilum region. In such cases,
transoral approach for submandibular lithiases (TASL) is useful
treatment of choice in patients with large submandibular stones that can
be palpated bimanually.
Usefulness of position emission tomography/computed tomography in a case of sarcoidosis with multiorgan involvement

Published: December 2021

Sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, can
affect any site in the body. A bone lesion was unexpectedly detected by
fluorodeoxyglucose position emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG
PET/CT) in a patient with multiorgan sarcoidosis. FDG PET/CT should be
considered for the detection of clinically silent lesions of
sarcoidosis.
Temperature-dependent electron properties for 4f states in cerium mononitride

Published: December 2021

In order to elucidate the temperature-dependent valence state of Ce ion
and the occupation number of Ce 4f electrons in cerium mononitride
(CeN), we perform an ab initio calculation on CeN by using a many-body
scheme combing density functional theory (DFT) with dynamical mean field
theory (DMFT), taking into account the spin-orbit coupling (SOC)
interaction and on-site Coulomb repulsion between Ce 4f electrons.
Results demonstrate that Ce 4f j=5/2 and j=7/2 manifolds undergo
insulating-metallic transition with the increasing of temperature. Ce
4f-conduction electrons hybridization, f-f correlation, SOC interaction
and final state effects yield a complicated spectrum function in CeN. Ce
4f atomic configuration transition and hybridization might be
responsible for the temperature-dependent occupancy number of Ce 4f
electrons and the mixed-valence state in CeN. A fact that localization
of Ce 4f electrons, i.e., 4f1 configuration or Ce3+ valence, increases
with the increasing of temperature could account for the experimentally
observed lattice constant versus temperature data. Finally, the
so-called quasiparticle band structure is also discussed for comparison
with experimental angle-resolved photoemission spectrum (ARPES).
Transapical cannulation for surgical repair of chronic type B aortic dissection
Authors: Kotani Shinsuke , Tabata Minoru
Published: December 2021

Open surgery for chronic type B aortic dissection has been shown to have
considerable risks of cerebrovascular complications. Because retrograde
perfusion is a potential cause of intraoperative cerebrovascular events,
we report our transapical cannulation strategy for descending aorta
replacement in chronic type B aortic dissection repair with circulatory
arrest. This technique provides an easy and quick establishment of
cardiopulmonary bypass by way of a left thoracotomy, and prevention of
cerebrovascular event. Transapical cannula can be also used as a vent to
ensure a bloodless field during proximal anastomosis and to prevent
extension of left ventricle during rewarming. Transapical cannulation is
a useful option in open repair of the descending aorta for chronic type
B aortic dissection by way of left thoracotomy.
