A Unified View on Geometric Phases and Exceptional Points in Adiabatic Quantum Mechanics
Authors:   University of Groningen, The Netherlands, Pap Eric J. , Boer Daniël ,   University of Groningen, The Netherlands, Waalkens Holger ,   University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Published: January 2022

We present a formal geometric framework for the study of adiabatic quantum mechanics for arbitrary finite-dimensional non-degenerate Hamiltonians. This framework generalizes earlier holonomy interpretations of the geometric phase to non-cyclic states appearing for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We start with an investigation of the space of non-degenerate operators on a finite-dimensional state space. We then show how the energy bands of a Hamiltonian family form a covering space. Likewise, we show that the eigenrays form a bundle, a generalization of a principal bundle, which admits a natural connection yielding the (generalized) geometric phase. This bundle provides in addition a natural generalization of the quantum geometric tensor and derived tensors, and we show how it can incorporate the non-geometric dynamical phase as well. We finish by demonstrating how the bundle can be recast as a principal bundle, so that both the geometric phases and the permutations of eigenstates can be expressed simultaneously by means of standard holonomy theory.

In this paper we present an extensive analysis of the GW190521 gravitational wave event with the current (fourth) generation of phenomenological waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. GW190521 stands out from other events since only a few wave cycles are observable. This leads to a number of challenges, one being that such short signals are prone to not resolving approximate waveform degeneracies, which may result in multimodal posterior distributions. The family of waveform models we use includes a new fast time-domain model (IMRPhenomTPHM), which allows us to extensively test different priors and robustness with respect to variations in the waveform model, including the content of spherical harmonic modes. We clarify some issues raised in a recent paper, Nitz & Capano, associated with possible support for a high-mass-ratio source, but confirm their finding of a multimodal posterior distribution, albeit with important differences in the statistical significance of the peaks. In particular, we find that the support for both masses being outside the pair instability supernova mass gap, and the support for an intermediate-mass-ratio binary are drastically reduced with respect to what Nitz & Capano found. We also provide updated probabilities for associating GW190521 to the potential electromagnetic counterpart from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Graham et al.
Gaseous Halos of Simulated Milky Way-like Galaxies
Authors: Pardasani Bhavya , Wetzel Andrew , Samuel Jenna
Published: January 2022

In order to investigate the role of the host halo in quenching satellite galaxies, we have characterized a single Milky Way-like host galaxy from the FIRE simulations from z = 0–1.76 by quantifying the gas density of the host halo environment with respect to distance from the host and galactocentric latitude. The gas density decreases with increasing distance from the host according to a broken power law. At earlier times (2–10 Gyr ago), the density in the inner regions of the host halo was enhanced relative to z = 0. Thus, earlier infalling satellites experienced more ram-pressure and were more efficiently quenched compared to later infalling satellites. We also find that in the inner halo (<150 kpc) the density is 2–3 times larger close to the plane of the host galaxy disk versus above or below the disk, so satellites that orbit at low galactocentric latitudes may be more efficiently quenched.

Authors: Lee Junho , Suh Sang Jae
Published: January 2022

The subfamily Beridinae of the family Stratiomyidae contains about 280 known species globally, and distributed all over the biogeographical areas except polar region. In the Korean peninsula, the species diversity of this subfamily has been poorly known so far, in accordance with National species list of Korea by National Institue of Biological Resources.

In this paper, the soldier fly genus Beris Latreille is reported for the first time from Korea based on following three species: B. fuscipes Meigen, B. hirotui Ôuchi, and B. tigris Lee and Suh, sp. nov. Among them, B. tigris Lee and Suh, sp. nov. was confirmed to be newly discovered. Consequently, three species within this genus have been identified from the Korean peninsula. The identification key, description, external photographs, and taxonomic notes of these Korean species are presented herein.
Small mammals of background areas in the vicinity of the Karabash copper smelter (Southern Urals, Russia)
Authors: Mukhacheva Svetlana , Davydova Yulia , Sozontov Artëm
Published: January 2022

The dataset contains records of small mammals (Eulipotyphla and Rodentia) collected in the background (unpolluted) areas in the vicinity of Karabash copper smelter (Southern Urals, Russia) and the territory of the Sultanovskoye deposit of copper-pyrite ores before the start of its development. Data were collected during the snowless periods in 2007 (18 sampling plots), 2008–2010 (13 plots annually), 2011 (30 plots) and 2012–2014 (19 plots annually). The capture of animals was carried out in different types of forests (pine, birch, mixed and floodplain), sparse birch stands, reed swamps, marshy and dry meadows, border areas, a household waste dump, areas of ruderal vegetation and a temporary camp. Our study of small mammals was conducted using trap lines (snap and live traps). During the study period, 709 specimens of small mammals were caught, which belonged to five species of shrews and 13 species of rodents. The dataset may be highly useful for studying regional fauna and the distribution of species in different habitats and could also be used as reference values for environmental monitoring and conservation activities.

Our dataset contains new information on occurrences of small mammals. It includes the peculiarities of their habitat distribution in the background areas in the vicinity of the large copper smelter and the deposit of copper-pyrite ores before the start of its development (Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia). All occurrence records of 18 mammal species with georeferencing have been published in GBIF.
The distribution pattern of mire specialist butterflies in raised bogs of the northern lowlands of Central Europe
Authors: Sommer Robert S. , Thiele Volker , Sushko Gennadi , Sielezniew Marcin , Kolligs Detlef , Dapkus Dalius
Published: January 2022

Raised bogs are extreme and azonal ecosystems with a characteristic hydrological balance, microclimatic conditions and a specific flora and fauna. Recently, these ecosystems have increasingly become the focus of scientific and general attention because of their important ecosystem roles in the face of global warming and providing biodiversity refuges. From a biogeographical and evolutionary context, the peat bogs of the European Lowlands serve as palaeorefugia, acting as cold, edaphic island habitats for arcto-alpine or boreo-montane insect species in temperate biomes. Analysing 105 peat bog sites in the northern lowlands of Central Europe, we compare the diversity and geographic distribution pattern of a subset of six butterfly species, which appear to be tyrphobiontic or tyrphophile mire specialists. We demonstrate a decrease in mean species number in the European Lowlands on a gradient from the east (Northern Belarus, about 4 species) to the west (Northern Germany, about 1 species), and suggest that the decreasing species number may be mainly caused by human impact in the past. The individual distribution pattern shows a nearly complete gap in occurrence of the sensitive bog specialist species Colias palaeno and Boloria eunomia in Northern Germany and an increasing presence of those species in peat bogs of eastern Europe. Boloria aquilonaris shows a different pattern, which, in contrast to C. palaeno, is continuously distributed in all sampled regions and seems to be the more tolerant of tyrphobiontic butterflies in the face of human impact on peat bogs. In the light of other recent findings our results also suggest that Boloria aquilonaris and Plebejus optilete may serve as target species reflecting success in ecological restoration of peat bog ecosystems.
Complete mitochondrial genome of Rhodeus cyanorostris (Teleostei, Cyprinidae): characterization and phylogenetic analysis
Authors: Li Wenjing , Qiu Ning , Du Hejun
Published: January 2022

Rhodeus cyanorostris Li, Liao & Arai, 2020 is a freshwater fish that is endemic to China and restricted to Chengdu City in Sichuan Province. This study is the first to sequence and characterize the complete mitochondrial genome of R. cyanorostris. The mitogenome of R. cyanorostris is 16580 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The base composition of the sequence is 28.5% A, 27.6% C, 26.4% T, and 17.5% G, with a bias toward A+T. The genome structure, nucleotide composition, and codon usage of the mitogenome of R. cyanorostris are consistent with those of other species of Rhodeus. To verify the molecular phylogeny of the genus Rhodeus, we provide new insights to better understand the taxonomic status of R. cyanorostris. The phylogenetic trees present four major clades based on 19 mitogenomic sequences from 16 Rhodeus species. Rhodeus cyanorostris exhibits the closest phylogenetic relationship with R. pseudosericeus, R. amarus, and R. sericeus. This study discloses the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of R. cyanorostris for the first time and provides the most comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus Rhodeus based on whole mitochondrial genome sequences. The information obtained in this study will provide new insights for conservation, phylogenetic analysis, and evolutionary biology research.
L’évolution socioéconomique du secteur non lucratif : l’exemple des fédérations de centres sociaux en France
Authors: Decamp André
Published: January 2022

Le contexte, en changement constant, oblige les associations en général, et celles du mouvement d’éducation populaire en particulier, à s’adapter et à innover. L’intrusion du système néo-libéraliste et du secteur marchand dans le mouvement d’éducation populaire engendre des tensions au sein des fédérations, ainsi qu’une notion de concurrence entre les acteurs. Ces phénomènes nouveaux rendent nécessaires une réflexion et un débat constructifs pour prendre en compte les enjeux démocratiques. Les fédérations de centres sociaux doivent se réinventer, afin de sortir du schéma réducteur d’un dispositif profitant au pouvoir. Elles doivent montrer et démontrer qu’elles sont aussi partie prenante de la vie démocratique, qui constitue leur principal ressort et leur identité première. Il s’agit de savoir si les modèles socio-économiques du moment menacent la capacité d’innovation des associations d’éducation populaire, et comment il est possible de financer cette innovation tout en respectant les valeurs et les projets des organisations porteuses. L’objectif de cet article est d’aborder le questionnement sous un angle critique, positif et constructif, en se centrant sur l’évolution actuelle au regard des valeurs de l’éducation populaire et des alternatives possibles. Il analysera les relations complexes entre l’État et les acteurs de l’éducation populaire, alors qu’il est nécessaire de viser une intervention qui se rapproche des textes fondateurs.
Independent Thinking in Nursing: An Archaeology of Knowledge Perspective
Authors: Dombrowsky Thomas
Published: January 2022

Background:

The topic of thinking was not widely discussed in nursing literature until the 1960s. At that time, the nursing process entered nursing literature, and later, in the 1980s, critical thinking began to be examined. Critical thinking had been talked about in fields other than nursing since at least the time of educational philosopher John Dewey.

Method:

Using Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge as a model, this article explores how and why thinking became an object of nursing discourse.

Results:

Modern nursing discourse emphasizes independent thinking in contrast to the discussion of comportment, attitudes, and observation found in the early nursing literature.

Conclusion:

The emergence of thinking discourse in nursing was a response to changes in health care that began in the period after World War II and although this discourse ostensibly serves to liberate nurses' thinking, it can actually serve to regulate the thinking of students and nurses.

Racism and Professional Competence: Nursing Students in Interracial Evaluations
Authors: Wilson Kristi , Turkelson Carman , Logan Tyler , Rhodes Nancy
Published: January 2022

Background:

This pilot study examined the association of internal and external motivation of White nursing students to avoid appearing racist while interacting with standardized patients in a simulation-based learning experience (SP-SBLE). The influence of nursing students' preexisting motivations to avoid racism were examined for their effect on clinical performance in their SP-SBLE.

Method:

White nursing students (
N
= 50) completed measures of motivations to avoid racism prior to their end of semester practical examination. Students were then randomly assigned to an SBLE with a SP portraying chest pain.

Results:

White students interacting with White SPs performed better than White students interacting with Black SPs.

Conclusion:

Concern about appearing racist may interfere with White students' ability to perform well in a clinical setting because it may draw cognitive resources away from the clinical task. This is a first step in understanding how nursing students' perceptions may contribute to racial inequities in health.

The Hom-Long dimodule category and nonlinear equations
Authors: Wang Shengxiang , Zhang Xiaohui , Guo Shuangjian
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we construct a kind of new braided monoidal category over two Hom-Hopf algerbas $ (H, \alpha) $ and $ (B, \beta) $ and associate it with two nonlinear equations. We first introduce the notion of an $ (H, B) $-Hom-Long dimodule and show that the Hom-Long dimodule category $ ^{B}_{H} \Bbb L $ is an autonomous category. Second, we prove that the category $ ^{B}_{H} \Bbb L $ is a braided monoidal category if $ (H, \alpha) $ is quasitriangular and $ (B, \beta) $ is coquasitriangular and get a solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Also, we show that the category $ ^{B}_{H} \Bbb L $ can be viewed as a subcategory of the Hom-Yetter-Drinfeld category $ ^{H{\otimes} B}_{H{\otimes} B} \Bbb {HYD} $. Finally, we obtain a solution of the Hom-Long equation from the Hom-Long dimodules.
Smart Gradient - An adaptive technique for improving gradient estimation
Authors: Fattah Esmail Abdul , Van Niekerk Janet , Rue Håvard
Published: January 2022

Computing the gradient of a function provides fundamental information about its behavior. This information is essential for several applications and algorithms across various fields. One common application that requires gradients are optimization techniques such as stochastic gradient descent, Newton's method and trust region methods. However, these methods usually require a numerical computation of the gradient at every iteration of the method which is prone to numerical errors. We propose a simple limited-memory technique for improving the accuracy of a numerically computed gradient in this gradient-based optimization framework by exploiting (1) a coordinate transformation of the gradient and (2) the history of previously taken descent directions. The method is verified empirically by extensive experimentation on both test functions and on real data applications. The proposed method is implemented in the \begin{document}$\texttt{R} $\end{document} package \begin{document}$ \texttt{smartGrad}$\end{document} and in C\begin{document}$ \texttt{++} $\end{document}.
Moderate deviation principle for $ m $-dependent random variables under the sub-linear expectation
Authors: Guo Shuang ,   School of mathematics, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, China, Zhang Yong
Published: January 2022

Let $ \{X_n, n\geq1\} $ be a sequence of $ m $-dependent strictly stationary random variables in a sub-linear expectation $ (\Omega, \mathcal{H}, \mathbb{E}) $. In this article, we give the definition of $ m $-dependent sequence of random variables under sub-linear expectation spaces taking values in $ \mathbb{R} $. Then we establish moderate deviation principle for this kind of sequence which is strictly stationary. The results in this paper generalize the result that in the case of independent identically distributed samples. It provides a basis to discuss the moderate deviation principle for other types of dependent sequences.
Juntos pero no revueltos. Miembros, simpatizantes, y el Partido Democrático en Italia
Authors: Seddone Antonella , Venturino Fulvio , Sandri Giulia
Published: January 2022

En este artículo investigamos el caso del Partido Demócrata en Italia (Partito Democratico - PD). Observamos cómo los miembros y simpatizantes se integran dentro del partido y su papel respectivo en la selección del líder. El PD aplica un procedimiento de dos pasos para seleccionar a los líderes. Primero, los afiliados seleccionan a los candidatos que se postulan para el liderazgo del partido, de modo que solo tres candidatos tienen derecho a pasar a la siguiente etapa. En segundo lugar, el líder se selecciona mediante primarias abiertas en las que se admite el voto de todos los electores. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar si estos procedimientos altamente inclusivos que permiten a afiliados y simpatizantes tener voz y voto en la selección de líderes pueden generar alguna tensión entre los dos electorados. Para ello, nos centramos en el nivel de competitividad de las primarias que involucran, sucesivamente, a afiliados y simpatizantes. Nos basamos en cuatro conjuntos de datos diferentes que incluyen datos agregados a nivel regional sobre los procesos de selección del líder nacional del partido organizados en 2009, 2013, 2017 y 2019. Los resultados muestran que los dos procesos solo han convergido parcialmente. De hecho, tanto las primarias cerradas como las abiertas se caracterizan por una tendencia a la baja; en cambio, el voto de los afiliados a menudo permite primarias cerradas competitivas, mientras que las primarias abiertas tienen más probabilidades de generar resultados plebiscitarios. Esto puede producir importantes consecuencias sobre el papel diferente de los miembros y simpatizantes dentro del partido.

Telemedicine is the use of information and communication technologies to extend healthcare work to the vulnerable in the rural areas. It is unfortunate that telemedicine is yet to be deployed in sub Sahara Africa where there is acute shortage of medical professionals with many rural dwellers without medical facilities. This paper proposes an electronic Patient’s Case-Note to replace existing manual method so as to mitigate the challenges associated with manual record keeping. The tree theory was used to motivate the information follows which the basis for the theoretical framework for the study also presented is the Cyclic structure that depicts information flow in the system. The conceptual model and the algorithms to implement the model are presented. The Model was implemented and few screenshot presented.
Ability within disability: Reflective memories shared with Dr Kasturi Varley
Authors: Archary Kogielam K. , Landman Christina
Published: January 2022

In a post-apartheid South Africa, the value of reflective memories and their impact on community history gives credibility to their relationship with personal struggles such as disability, be it physical or political. Shaped by South African Indian heritage, an isolated individualised case of a second-generation descendant’s ability–disability experience is researched and narrated in this article. The respondent, Dr Kasturi Varley is a woman of the South African Indian community, who was born almost 101 years after the first shipload of Indian indentured labourers arrived in the then Colony of Natal. Her memories shed light on a unique Indo-African-European experience. Her indentured paternal grandfather arrived in the African continent in August 1900. Her reflective memories and shared experiences of various episodes of the ability–disability paradigm add to the body of knowledge of the Indian indentured labour system that already exists and partially fills up the prevalent gaps in the research on this topic. Her story is unique in that she worked wheelchair-bound at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria and subsequently settled in the United Kingdom. This study applied a qualitative research methodology.Contribution: This article provides insight on reflective memories within the domain of social memory and contributes to an understanding of the historiography of the descendants of Indian indentured labourers in South Africa. In 2020, this community commemorated the 160th anniversary of the arrival of the labourers to the Colony of Natal.
The shifting landscape of African-Pentecostalism in Kenya
Authors: Gathogo Julius M.
Published: January 2022

I define African Pentecostalism as the Pentecostal thread that embraces some elements of African culture, without necessarily admitting it. It embraces some elements of the African heritage consciously or unconsciously. This research article sets on the premise that African Pentecostalism is the ideal phrase when referring to Pentecostalism in Africa. This drives us to consider the uniqueness of Pentecostalism in Africa rather than generalising its presence. This article seeks to demonstrate that African Pentecostalism in the 21st-century Kenya has undergone paradigm shifts in various dimensions, which includes leadership structuring, political orientations, modes of disciplining, eschatological concern, structural make-up, economic domain, health concern, ecumenical relations, gender relations, identity politics, theological education, poverty concern, use of science and technology, and general practices. Has the religious outfits that referred the earthly concerns as temporal tents and largely focused on the ‘eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands’ (2 Cor 5:1) appreciated the necessity of God’s kingdom and will-being ‘done on earth, as it is in heaven’ (Mt 6:10)? In light of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), has the ecclesiastical model that was too conservative become liberal in nature? The methodology includes interviews with selected people who are connected to this topic, participant observation and through an extensive review of the relevant literature.
Effects of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation on respiratory function in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation
Authors: Hsin Yi-Fei , Chen Shu-Hsin , Yu Teng-Jen , Huang Chung-Chi , Chen Yen-Huey
Published: January 2022

PURPOSE:

Muscle atrophy and diaphragm dysfunction are common with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). Electrical stimulation on peripheral muscles has been shown to be beneficial in the improvement of muscle function. This study examined the effects of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) on respiratory muscle strength and weaning outcomes in patients with PMV.

METHODS:

Participants on ventilation for ≥21 days were randomly assigned to TEDS (n = 29) and control (n = 30) groups. The TEDS group received muscle electrical stimulation for 30 min/session/day throughout the intervention. Pulmonary function parameters (tidal volume, respiratory rate, and rapid shallow breathing index), and respiratory muscle strength (Pimax, Pemax) were assessed. The hospitalization outcome, including weaning rate and length of stay, was followed up until discharge.

RESULTS:

After TEDS, there was a significant increase in Pemax (10 [8–20] vs. 20 [10–22] cmH2O, P = 0.034) in the intervention group. At the end of the study, the improvement of minute volume in the TEDS group (0.64 (−0.67) was significantly higher than the control group (−0.64 (−2.5–0.78) (P = 0.008). In the control group, there was no significant difference between pre- and post-measurement of weaning parameters. There was a significant difference between groups in the weaning rate, with a higher rate in the TEDS group (90%) when compared with that in the control group (66.7%) (P =0.021).

CONCLUSION:

TEDS was significantly associated with increased respiratory muscle strength in patients with PMV. TEDS may be useful to facilitate weaning in this population.

Authors: Khalid Imran , Alshukairi Abeer N. , Khalid Tabindeh Jabeen , Imran Maryam , Imran Manahil , Akhtar Muhammad Ali , Wali Ghassan Y.
Published: January 2022

PURPOSE:

We conducted this study to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes exclusively in high-risk coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) tertiary care patients with multiple comorbidities, as very few have reported outcomes in this specific cohort.

METHODS:

All patients, with two or more risk factors for COVID-19 and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) of >2, who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) between March and December 2020 were included. Their characteristics, ICU course, and outcomes as well as differences between nonsurvivors and survivors were evaluated. The primary outcome was all-cause 28-day mortality.

RESULTS:

Out of 1152 COVID-19 patients, 101 met the inclusion criteria. The patients had an average of 4 or more comorbidities with a very high CCI of 5. The 28-day all-cause mortality was 23% and inhospital mortality was 32%. Among all risk factors, only age > 70 years, male gender, and chronic kidney disease were significant determinants of mortality (P < 0.03). Admission PaO2/FiO2 ratio and elevated inflammatory markers were same among survivors and nonsurvivors (P > 0.66). The mean time from presentation to ICU admission (59 vs. 38 h), APACHE II score (20.5 vs. 17), ICU length of stay (25 vs. 12 days), and hospital length of stay (28 vs. 20 days) were all higher in nonsurvivors as compared to survivors, respectively (P < 0.03). Fifty-four percent of the patients were intubated and had higher 28-day (40%) and inhospital (55%) mortality.

CONCLUSION:

Tertiary care patients with multiple comorbidities have higher mortality than what is reported for mixed populations. Further studies are needed to determine realistic mortality benchmarks for these patients.

OBJECTIVE:

Sleep problems during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic commonly affected general populations. Data on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep quality in Saudi Arabia are scarce. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate sleep quality and assess the psychological burden of the pandemic in COVID-19 patients and the general population.

METHODS:

This was a multicenter, observational, cross-sectional survey. Participants with COVID-19 were recruited from different health-care centers in the western region during the lockdown period from May 13, 2020 to September 2, 2020. All participants completed a validated online survey. The control group comprised individuals from the general public who responded to the online survey through social media. Demographic data, COVID-19 status, and history of chronic diseases were collected. Sleep quality, depression, and insomnia were assessed using validated questionnaires.

Results:

In total, 1091 participants were surveyed and 643 (58.9%) were positive for COVID-19. Poor sleep quality was reported in 66.1% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± standard deviation [SD] 6.9 ± 4.0) and 72.8% of controls (mean score ± SD 7.6 ± 4.3). Insomnia affected 50.5% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± SD 6.5 ± 5.5) and 58.5% of controls (mean score ± SD 7.6 ± 5.5). Depression was diagnosed in 39.5% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± SD 4.7 ± 4.6) and 70.1% of controls (mean score ± SD 8.9 ± 6.7).

CONCLUSIONS:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on mental health and sleep quality in both COVID-19 patients and the general population but more pronounced in the general population.

Rozwój dziewiętnastowiecznego Szczecina w Geschichte der Stadt Stettin Martina Wehrmanna
Authors: Łysakowska Agata
Published: January 2022

Martin Wehrmann uważany jest za przedstawiciela najważniejszych historyków zajmujących się dziejami Pomorza Zachodniego. Był członkiem towarzystw regionalnych, w tym Towarzystwa Historii i Starożytności Pomorza oraz Pomorskiej Komisji Historycznej. Pozostawił po sobie wiele prac, w tym dwutomowe Geschichte von Pommern i Geschichte der Stadt Stettin. W drugim z wymienionych dzieł Wehrmann w trzech rozdziałach (Stettins Franzosenzeit, Stettin im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Aufgebung der Festung, Die neueste Zeit seit 1873) opisał rozwój Szczecina w XIX w. Jest to charakterystyka o tyle interesująca, iż autor pisze o mieście sobie współczesnym, zwracając uwagę na procesy, które ukształtowały Szczecin jako miasto nowoczesne, takie jak: odbudowa miasta po okupacji francuskiej, działalność Korporacji Kupieckiej, funkcjonowanie portu i żeglugi, rozwój przemysłu i komunikacji, modernizację ulic, działalność i aktywność kulturalną konkretnych osób czy wreszcie: zniesienie twierdzy. W artykule wykorzystano definicje miasta nowoczesnego zaproponowane przez Krzysztofa K. Pawłowskiego, Marię Nietykszę oraz Bohdana Jałowieckiego.

The development of 19th-century Szczecin in Geschichte der Stadt Stettin by Martin Wehrmann

Martin Wehrmann is considered one of the most prominent experts on the history of Western Pomerania. He was a member of various regional societies, including the Society of Pomeranian History and Antiquity, and the Pomeranian Historic Committee. He is the author of many works, including the two-volume Geschichte von Pommern and Geschichte der Stadt Stettin. In three chapters of the latter work (Stettins Franzosenzeit, Stettin im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Aufgebung der Festung, Die neueste Zeit seit 1873), Wehrmann described the development of Szczecin in the 19th century. This description is quite exceptional, as the author writes about the city as it was at the moment of writing, pointing to the processes which shaped Szczecin and made it a modern town, such as the reconstruction of the city following the French occupation, the activity of the Trade Corporation, the functioning of the port and maritime transport, the development of industry and transport, modernization of streets, the activity of specific people, including cultural activity, and the disassembly of the fortifications. The article used a definition of a modern town by Krzysztof K. Pawłowski, Maria Nietyksza, and Bohdan Jałowiecki.

En el presente trabajo se analizó la influencia de las estrategias didácticas con la incorporación de las TICs en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico; donde el escenario principal son los estudiantes, quienes adquieren una enseñanza centrada en la capacidad de análisis, reflexión e interpretación y en la resolución de problemas. Se planteó como objetivo determinar la incidencia de las estrategias didácticas en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes de básica superior. El diseño metodológico tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo. Se aplicaron encuestas a docentes, estudiantes y una entrevista a un profesional con experticia en pedagogía. En cuanto a los docentes se comprobó que su uso y aplicación es limitado y desactualizado, aplicando técnicas tradicionales que no dan resultados esperados. En lo que concierne a los discentes existe la falta de interés y motivación en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, obteniendo una alta demanda en estrategias innovadoras tanto para la labor docente como para el aprendizaje significativo de los estudiantes. Con la implementación de estrategias como el aprendizaje basado en proyectos, aprendizaje basado en problemas, aprendizaje colaborativo, flipped classroom, aprendizaje autónomo, entre otros. que incluyen las TICs, se fomenta el pensamiento crítico de los educandos, concibiendo en ellos la motivación, reflexión y la participación activa que les permita alcanzar un aprendizaje óptimo. El propósito del artículo es señalar las estrategias más importantes que originen competencias innovadoras y tecnológicas para lograr un cambio en la educación actual.

Medidas de distanciamento e isolamento social foram tomadas para diminuir a propagação da COVID-19 e modificaram os hábitos de vida da população, dificultando a prática de atividade física (PAF) que é reconhecida como coadjuvante de tratamento de Doenças Crônicas não Comunicáveis (DCNC). Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a situação de pessoas com DCNC no estado de São Paulo, quanto à PAF durante um período de isolamento social por COVID-19 Os dados foram coletados por meio de inquérito digital, com voluntários alcançados por meio do método Snowball. Participaram do estudo 212 voluntários, que relataram possuir alguma DCNC; a média etária foi de 42,2±13,7 anos; 71,20% tinham ensino superior; 84,9% apontaram PAF insuficiente; 89,2% apresentaram tempo de tela inadequado; 87,3% relataram insegurança alimentar leve. Foi encontrada correlação significativa entre PAF em nível inadequado e insegurança alimentar (p=0,027). Houve também associação bivariada entre tempo de tela e insegurança alimentar (p=0,049). A baixa prática de atividade física bem como a insegurança alimentar relatada apontam para riscos de aumento na manifestação das DCNC sendo necessário fomentar políticas públicas para realização de PAF mesmo em tempo de pandemias, voltadas para esta parcela da população.

This paper analyzes the influence of mandatory rules of EU Member States on commercial agent’s right to indemnity/compensation (which come from Art. 17 and 18 of Directive 86/653/EEC) on determining the law applicable to commercial agency contract in accordance with the conflict-of-law rules of Serbian Private International Act as well as on jurisdiction (prorogation) clause in favor of Serbian courts. Considering that these mandatory rules are usually classified as overriding mandatory rules which apply irrespective of which law is applicable to an agency contract, the author analyzes two situations in which their application can emerge: the first situation relates to the cases in which a principal has seat in EU Member State and an agent has seat in Serbia; the second situation relates to the cases in which a principal has seat in Serbia and an agent has seat in EU Member State. After that, author explains that the courts of EU Member States dismiss the jurisdiction clauses by which the courts of non-Member States have been prorogated, if these courts would not apply the rules which secure the same or similar level of protection for commercial agents as those of Directive 86/653/EEC. Bearing this in mind, author also analyzes whether the courts of EU Member States would recognize the effects of prorogation of Serbian courts in such cases
