Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Empowering Women in the Korean Labor Market after COVID-19
Authors:   Department of HRD, SookMyung Women’s University, South Korea, Shim Jihyun , Kong Ju
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to women’s labor. This study analyzes the situation of the Korean labor market from various angles using available national statistical data. While the employment rate fell and the unemployment rate rose due to COVID-19, the unemployment rate among young people in their 20s and the elderly in their 50s and older rose. Gender segregation in occupations and industries, a chronic problem in the Korean labor market, has intensified and also increased the gender wage gap. It was found that the gender wage gap was large in jobs where many women were engaged. Overall, the number of non-regular workers increased in jobs where women were concentrated, and the number of employed people among vulnerable groups decreased. Online classes and telecommuting due to social distancing have increased women’s housework and childcare burden. As a result, the employment rate of working women with young children fell. In this situation, the mismatch between job seekers and job openings also intensified, showing that the social employment system was not working properly. COVID-19 has adversely affected women in the labor market in Korea, especially elderly women with low education levels and non-regular female workers. The damage caused by the 1997 and 2008 economic crises was also concentrated on women’s labor, yet Korean society did not learn from those experiences. Although many efforts have been made over the past 10 years to resolve discrimination in the labor market and prevailing gender norms in Korean society, their effect has been insignificant. This study emphasizes the need for a more detailed and active women’s labor policy. It also presents the need for a social system that properly responds to pandemic situations like COVID-19.
Precarity in Korean Film Industry: A Cultural Research Perspective
Authors:   Department of Entertainment, Joongbu University, Korea., Ryoo Kyuha
Published: July 2023

The Korean film industry has achieved remarkable success in recent years. However, the filmmakers behind the scenes have received relatively little attention, leading to precarious labor conditions. This paper aims to shed light on the reality that filmmakers face through participatory observation at film production sites. Commercial film shooting sites were visited and observed 14 times over 3 months. The researcher observed various aspects of the film sites from a cultural research perspective. In particular, the researcher used the theory of flexibility to assess the type of employment, labor process, and socialization of filmmakers. The study revealed that Korean filmmakers experience labor flexibility and are constantly exposed to the risk of extreme work-life balance disruption and job loss. This is due to the nature of their work, which often involves long hours and tight deadlines. The study also found that Korean filmmakers are often underpaid and undervalued, despite their contributions to the industry. The researcher hopes that this study will raise awareness about the challenges faced by Korean filmmakers and encourage further research into this important topic. By shedding light on these issues, we can work towards creating a more equitable and sustainable film industry in Korea.

Published: July 2023

This paper aims to scrutinize the identity layers in artworks of the Qajar era. Identity in art has different layers and each layer depends on different aspects. the Qajar Era is one of the culturally productive periods in Iran. It also had widespread relations with the West in different matters. Thus several identity layers in the culture and artworks can be seen in this period. The research tries to answer this question: what are the identity layers and their priorities found in the Lithographed Manuscripts with religious themes in the Qajar Era? The analysis of 10 manuscripts with various dates shows that there are four identity layers: archaism, Persian-Islamic, Western-style and Islamic-Shi? tendency in artworks of the Qajar Era and each type of artwork, some layers have more importance.

Published: July 2023

El artículo propone una reflexión teológico-pastoral que ayude a discernir los princi-pales desafíos que pone la nueva evangelización a la vida de la Iglesia en Chile, en el complejo escenario actual de crisis de credibilidad eclesial. Este ejercicio de reflexión y discernimiento se realiza en el contexto de la Misión Continental impulsada por la Vª Conferencia del Episcopado Latinoamericano realizada en Aparecida (2007), así como en la proximidad del Sínodo de Obispos que se realizará en Roma (2012), sobre La nueva evangelización para la transmisión de la fe cristiana, coincidiendo con el inicio del Año de la Fe (2012-2013) y los 50 años del inicio del Concilio Vaticano II. El texto busca –en primer lugar– precisar el concepto de nueva evangelización; en un segundo momento, busca caracterizar algunos aspectos del nuevo escenario que está viviendo la Iglesia en Chile; para –en un tercer momento– presentar los desafíos de la nueva evangelización en nuestra situación eclesial, desafíos para la reflexión teológica y para la acción pastoral.
JESÚS DE NAZARET: UN MODELO ANTROPOLÓGICO PARA EL DIÁLOGO INTERRELIGIOSO
Authors: Osorio Bayron
Published: July 2023

En nombre de Dios y en nombre de las religiones se han cometido crímenes atroces contra la humanidad. Dios ha sido, en muchos casos, motivo de contradicciones y exclusiones de hombres y mujeres. Desde la religión y en defensa de la religión, los cristianos, y miembros de otras confesiones, han predicado la guerra, la tortura, la privación de la libertad para los seres humanos, y también la muerte. Un diálogo entre las religiones debe apostar necesariamente por el hombre. Los postulados básicos de la reflexión en torno a lo humano deben estar siempre en términos de qué humaniza más al hombre. Desde la perspectiva cristiana, Jesús de Nazaret se presenta como modelo de humanidad y de humanización posible para cualquier hombre que oriente su vida hacia la paz.

Péguy escribe sus Diálogos de la historia entre 1909 y 1912. Publicados en forma póstuma (Péguy murió en 1914 en la primera batalla de la Gran Gue-rra) serán divididos en: Clío. Diálogo entre la historia y el alma pagana y Verónica. Diálogo de la historia con el alma carnal según la indicación contenida en una carta a su fiel amigo Lotte donde explica los títulos: “El primer volumen se titulará Clío; el segundo Verónica. Es estupendo, amigo mío: Clío [es decir la historia] pasa su tiempo buscando huellas, vanas hue-llas. Y una judía insignificante, una muchachita, Verónica, saca su pañuelo y toma de la cara de Jesús una huella eterna. Esto es lo que da al traste con todo. Ella estaba allí en el momento oportuno. Clío siempre llega tarde”.

Authors: Ainz Galende Alexandra
Published: July 2023

A lo largo de este artículo tratamos de desentrañar la cuestión de si es posible que exista algún tipo de símil en el nacimiento de tres de los principales grupos funda-mentalistas que han servido como base teórica para posteriores grupos fundamen-talistas. Estamos hablando de los Hermanos Musulmanes de Egipto, los Evangélicos de Estados Unidos y el Sionismo. En concreto hemos estudiado en profundidad y comparado las condiciones estructurales en las que nacen los tres casos expuestos prestando especial atención a las características de los contextos de origen, el posible papel del carisma en los orígenes, los objetivos y la acción social en el emerger de los tres casos. A lo largo de nuestro artículo además expondremos el estudio minucioso llevado a cabo de los casos citados y resolveremos nuestra hipótesis referente a que a priori no consideramos que puedan existir características similares entre los tres grupos citados.

In Macau, the official languages are Chinese and Portuguese as defined in the legislation of this territory, which has a multicultural and multilingual context, forming multiple linguistic landscapes. Street name signs in Macau are a representative linguistic landscape, in particular, street name expressions are necessarily in Chinese and Portuguese. In this context, it is indispensable to produce a bilingual Chinese-Portuguese digital guide from the perspective of the linguistic landscapes of Macau, in which way can facilitate the learning of Portuguese and train bilingual talent, an idea that is also promoted by the government and implemented in corresponding policies. In the case of street name signs, the present work aims to increase the interest and language skills of learners, as well as stimulate people's historical memory, present multicultural symbols of the city of Macau and attract more tourists to visit Macau
Íntimos retratos: a correspondência entre Maria Ondina Braga e Jacinto do Prado Coelho
Authors: Mateus Isabel Cristina
Published: July 2023

Maria Ondina Braga e Jacinto do Prado Coelho mantiveram uma intensa relação amorosa desde os anos 70 até à data de desaparecimento do crítico e professor universitário, em 1984. Foram muitas as cartas que trocaram, em diversas circunstâncias, delas avultando, além da cumplicidade da relação entre ambos, um surpreendente retrato íntimo da mulher que ousou desafiar as convenções do seu tempo e cruzar as fronteiras do mundo. Ao mesmo tempo, as cartas revelam o olhar da escritora atento às pessoas, aos lugares e geografias por onde passa, às histórias e aos silêncios, entre apontamentos de leitura e referências histórico-culturais várias. Merecem aqui particular destaque as cartas que Maria Ondina Braga e Jacinto do Prado Coelho trocaram durante a viagem da escritora ao Brasil no navio-cruzeiro Infante Santo, de 22 de Agosto a 19 de Setembro de 1972, em diálogo com o diário de bordo escrito paralelamente a essas cartas, ambos ainda inéditos.
De Erasmo a Sênio: perspectivas de uma trama autoral nas Cartas de Erasmo
Authors: Frattini Paula Caldas
Published: July 2023

Alguns textos, às vezes, ficam à deriva em relação ao conjunto da obra de um autor. Esse parece ser o caso de Cartas de Erasmo que figuram, tradicionalmente, como escritos políticos na obra de José de Alencar. É minha intenção, neste artigo, propor uma releitura desses escritos ao aproximá-los da obra ficcional do autor pela análise de seu gênero literário, a saber, o gênero epistolar. A partir do exame da construção do gênero epistolar em Cartas de Erasmo, depreende-se uma nova camada de sentido vinculada à produção de uma imagem autoral que, desarticulada de um modelo de leitura subordinado a estruturas hierárquicas, ecoa em outros escritos de Alencar, possibilitando, dessa forma, o desenho de uma trama autoral encenada pelo autor de Iracema.
Corpo gordo, corpo falhado: o corpo da mulher e a gordofobia em A Gorda, de Isabela Figueiredo
Authors: Foz Romeu
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo analisa a obra A Gorda (2016) da escritora portuguesa Isabela Figueiredo. Proponho que a narrativa em causa questiona – e, em última instância, subverte – a ideia do corpo feminino enquanto objeto de consumo decretada por uma sociedade na qual a aparência física constitui um dos marcadores identitários fundamentais do sujeito. Defendo igualmente que A Gorda expõe uma sociedade ocidental que, ao ser predominantemente gordofóbica, sentencia o corpo gordo da mulher ao que apelido de corpo-fracasso. Por fim, advogo que o romance analisado se revela um marco incontornável da literatura portuguesa contemporânea, na medida em que alerta o leitor no sentido de uma valorização do indivíduo para além dos estereótipos (castradores) de beleza vigentes, contribuindo assim para uma disrupção da ordem hegemónica patriarcal, em particular das suas narrativas (violentas) sobre o corpo gordo da mulher.

Authors: Trujillo Delsy , Edquén José D. , Rizo-Patrón Federico , Calatayud Gloria , Gutiérrez Dipaz Alfredo , Salazar Gerardo A.
Published: July 2023

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Desde su publicación, en 1941, Chloraea multilineolata no había sido registrada y sus reportes en la literatura subsecuente se basaron en determinaciones erróneas. En este trabajo se estudió la identidad taxonómica de varias poblaciones de una especie de Chloraea registradas durante el trabajo de campo llevado a cabo entre 2016 y 2019 en el sur de Perú.
Métodos: Se estudiaron material fresco y registros fotográficos de las poblaciones de Chloraea recientemente descubiertas y se compararon con los protólogos de todas las especies peruanas de este género, su material tipo, literatura taxonómica y ejemplares de Chloraea o fotografías digitales disponibles en herbarios peruanos y extranjeros.
Resultados clave: Se determinó que las poblaciones estudiadas representan a C. multilineolata. Se presenta una descripción actualizada de la especie basada en material fresco y en el protólogo. Además, se incluyen láminas fotográficas a color, un dibujo lineal del perianto, información sobre su hábitat y un mapa de su distribución conocida. Así mismo, se da a conocer una evaluación de su riesgo de extinción usando las categorías y criterios de la Lista Roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN).
Conclusiones: Chloraea multilineolata es endémica de los departamentos peruanos de Apurímac, Ayacucho y Cusco, y restringe su presencia a los valles interandinos secos, localizados entre 2000 y 2900 m de altitud. Solo una de las cinco localidades conocidas se encuentra en un área natural protegida (Área de Conservación Regional Choquequirao); la evaluación del estado de conservación de la especie indica que debe considerársele En Peligro de Extinción.

The Safety of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Systematic Review and Recommendations
Authors: Taher Rayan , Hsu Che-Wei , Hampshire Chloe , Fialho Carolina , Heaysman Clare , Stahl Daniel , Shergill Sukhi , Yiend Jenny
Published: July 2023

Background

Evidence suggests that digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) for common mental health conditions are effective. However, digital interventions, such as face-to-face therapies, pose risks to patients. A safe intervention is considered one in which the measured benefits outweigh the identified and mitigated risks.

Objective

This study aims to review the literature to assess how DMHIs assess safety, what risks are reported, and how they are mitigated in both the research and postmarket phases and building on existing recommendations for assessing, reporting, and mitigating safety in the DMHI and standardizing practice.

Methods

PsycINFO, Embase, and MEDLINE databases were searched for studies that addressed the safety of DMHIs. The inclusion criteria were any study that addressed the safety of a clinical DMHI, even if not as a main outcome, in an adult population, and in English. As the outcome data were mainly qualitative in nature, a meta-analysis was not possible, and qualitative analysis was used to collate the results. Quantitative results were synthesized in the form of tables and percentages. To illustrate the use of a single common safety metric across studies, we calculated odds ratios and CIs, wherever possible.

Results

Overall, 23 studies were included in this review. Although many of the included studies assessed safety by actively collecting adverse event (AE) data, over one-third (8/23, 35%) did not assess or collect any safety data. The methods and frequency of safety data collection varied widely, and very few studies have performed formal statistical analyses. The main treatment-related reported AE was symptom deterioration. The main method used to mitigate risk was exclusion of high-risk groups. A secondary web-based search found that 6 DMHIs were available for users or patients to use (postmarket phase), all of which used indications and contraindications to mitigate risk, although there was no evidence of ongoing safety review.

Conclusions

The findings of this review show the need for a standardized classification of AEs, a standardized method for assessing AEs to statically analyze AE data, and evidence-based practices for mitigating risk in DMHIs, both in the research and postmarket phases. This review produced 7 specific, measurable, and achievable recommendations with the potential to have an immediate impact on the field, which were implemented across ongoing and future research. Improving the quality of DMHI safety data will allow meaningful assessment of the safety of DMHIs and confidence in whether the benefits of a new DMHI outweigh its risks.

The role of rhinomanometry in evaluating the effectiveness of laser surgical treatment in children with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis
Authors: Fuculița D.F.
Published: July 2023

Background. Rhinomanometry is an objective way of assessing nasal patency. Due to advances in technology and the use of microcomputers connected to measuring instruments, the use of this approach has increased. Rhinomanometry evaluates nasal resistance by measuring airflow and transnasal pressure gradient. With the help of this examination, the presence of a nasal respiratory obstruction is detected, and it is evaluated which nosological structure continuously causes it, in this case the hypertrophy of the inferior nasal turbinates. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the functional examination such as the anterior rhinomanometry in monitoring the results of laser surgical treatment in children with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. Materials and methods. The given study was carried out in the pediatric otorhinolaryngology clinic of the Emilian Coţaga Republican Children’s Clinical Hospital. The research involved a group of 120 children with hypertrophic chronic rhinitis, aged between 8–17 years, divided into three groups of 40 children each, treated surgically by 3 techniques: group 1 — cauterization of the inferior nasal turbinates with bipolar forceps, group 2 — shaver mucotomy and group 3 — diode laser surgery. In all patients, rhinomanometry was performed as an objective preoperative and postoperative examination on the 7th day, after one month, one year and in 12 months. Results. The analysis of the functional examination results demonstrates that the surgical interventions had a beneficial effect in terms of the recovery of the space parameters of the nasal cavities. A more pronounced improvement of the endonasal architectural indices is determined in group 3 where the diode laser surgical technique was used compared to group 2 — only shaver mucotomy and group 1 where the standard surgical technique of cauterization with bipolar forceps was practiced. Conclusions. The functional rhinomanometric results were statistically different after the surgical treatment in all study groups that indicates an important diagnostic value of this examination in the monitoring of postoperative dynamics.
The value of the S100β marker in patients with COVID-19
Authors: Seriakova I.
Published: July 2023

Background. The purpose of the work was to determine the level of S100β protein in children with COVID-19 and to investigate the correlation of this neurobiomarker with the severity of COVID-19 and the age of the patients. Materials and methods. We conducted a retrospective, cohort, observational, post-registration study. We examined 88 children aged 1 month to 17 years with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who underwent inpatient treatment at the Kyiv City Children’s Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital (Kyiv, Ukraine) in 2021–2022. Children were divided according to the course of the disease into two groups: the control group, which had a complicated course of COVID-19, and the main group without complications. We also made a division by age groups: 0–12 months, 1–6, 6–10 and 10–17 years. The main laboratory indicators, data of anamnesis and objective examination were taken into account. During the comprehensive routine examination of the patients on the first day of their stay in the hospital, the blood serum was collected for further examination for the level of S100β neurobiomarker by enzyme immunoassay. CanAg S100 EIA kit (Fujirebio) with a working measurement range of 1–3500 ng/L for S100β marker was used. The research was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki principles. The research protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the institution mentioned in the work. Informed consent of parents and children was obtained. In the study, we used statistical research, analytical methods, and the method of empirical research. Results. When comparing the main and control groups by age, the age of patients from birth to 12 months was a significant indicator (44.8 % in the main group vs. 23.3 % in controls), p = 0.049. When conducting a study on S100β correlation with D-dimer, a linear correlation was found (r = 0.141; 95% CI –1... 0.311; p < 0.1), as well as a negative linear correlation with prothrombin index (r = –0.204; 95% CI –1... 0.0131; p = 0.03) and age (r = –0.184; 95% CI –1... 0.0077; p = 0.04). Conclusions. A correlation between S100β neurobiomarker, age and severity of COVID-19 was revealed. Higher indicators were noted in the group of patients with a complicated course of the disease. A tendency towards a higher level of protein S100 at a younger age was revealed, as well as a linear relationship of neuromarkers with prothrombin index and D-dimer.

Published: July 2023

Background. Currently, parental presence at the bedside of critically ill children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is a necessary family-oriented condition. In the published sources, there is enough evidence that shows the special emotional state of parents, their complex interactions with the medical staff of the PICU, as well as the attitude of doctors and nurses to parental presence in the department, especially during the manipulation on patients. In Ukraine, only in some pediatric medical centers parents were allowed to visit their children in the PICU, but permanent stay at the patient’s bedside was not allowed. In 2016, the order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 592 “On the approval of the Procedure for the admission of visitors to patients undergoing inpatient treatment in the intensive care unit” determined the procedure and rules for the admission of visitors to a patient who was in the intensive care unit. However, this Order established only rules for the admission of visitors to adult patients undergoing inpatient treatment in the intensive care units. The purpose of the work is to consider various strategic directions for ensuring access of parents to their sick children in the PICU and try to adapt some issues to the current state of our pediatric intensive care. Results. The article discusses issues such as the ethical and practical situation regarding the visiting and presence of parents at the bedside of a critically ill child in the PICU. The concepts of “visiting” or “presence” are considered, and the conditions are defined when parents can only visit, and when they can stay at the bedside of a sick child for a long time; the possibility of their presence during manipulations and procedures; the role of doctors and nurses in communicating with parents in the intensive care unit and the impact on their emotional state. Conclusions. Given the real need for parents to be present and visit their children in the intensive care unit, we must be careful and prudent in making this decision. You can face a lot of problems and inconveniences, but you must strive to change the established principles, because the presence of fa­mily members, their participation in providing assistance to children will improve the psychological environment in the intensive care unit and increase the humaneness of the work of its medical staff.

Long-term observation of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the pediatric population revealed the presence of persistent symptoms in 1 : 4 to 1 : 10 children four or more weeks after the onset of this infection. The question about the role of vitamin D in the course of COVID-19 and the development of long-term health conditions is still debatable. The purpose of this review is to generalize and clarify the effect of vitamin D on the course of ­COVID-19 and the post-COVID period in children. Electronic search for scientific publications was done in the PubMed, Scopus, ResearchGate, Wiley Online Library and Google Scholar databases from 2019 to February 2023. Analysis of studies on COVID-19, the post-COVID period, and the impact of hypovitaminosis D on their course attests to the ambiguity of published results in the pediatric cohort. A number of resear­chers have linked vitamin D deficiency to higher mortality, higher hospitalization rates, and longer hospital stays. Hypovitaminosis D impairs the functioning of the immune system in an organism infected with the pandemic coronavirus, which increases the risk of severe course and mortality. But this hypothesis still needs in-depth study to understand the essence of the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the course of the coronavirus infection and long COVID. The hypothesis about the relationship between hypovitaminosis D and immunosuppression during infection with a pandemic coronavirus and its potential role in the formation of long-term health conditions after acute COVID-19 is still under permanent study.

Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a congenital heart defect characterized by the presence of an abnormal connection between the pulmonary artery and the proximal part of the aortic arch directly above the level of the semilunar valves. It is one of the rarest cardiac defects (frequency of 0.2–0.6 %). APW occurs as an isolated cardiac lesion or in association with other anomalies such as coarctation of the aorta, interrupted aortic arch, tetra­logy of Fallot, and atrial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus. Treatment of APW comprises surgical correction of the defect, which should be performed immediately after diagnosis in order to prevent the development of pulmonary hypertension. Postoperative complications after surgical correction of APW occur rarely and depend on the association of this defect with other congenital heart defects, especially with an interrupted aortic arch. In this article, we present a retrospective analysis of patients with APW for 2003–2022, who were examined at the Lviv Regional Children’s Hospital OHMATDYT, and 2 clinical cases of APW in 2- and 10-month-old boys.

Background. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an extremely rare but life-threatening di­s­order in children since it may cause acute kidney injury. Patients with aHUS are at risk of recurrence. Hence, in this paper, we present a case of a 9-year-old boy with aHUS relapse. The child was admitted to the emergency department on the fifth day of illness with main complaints of facial puffiness and decreased urine output. Based on the medical history, the patient developed the second episode of aHUS after 6 years of complete recovery from the first episode. There was no preceding diarrheal illness, instead, the clinical manifestation of both aHUS episodes was triggered by a respiratory tract infection. The results of diagnostic studies performed during the first episode of aHUS were as follows: stool tests for Esche­richia coli and Shiga toxins were negative; a complement assay showed no abnormalities; ADAMTS13 activity and anti-complement factor H antibodies were normal. The results of the kidney ultrasonography and biopsy were consistent with the diagnosis. Family history was remarkable for aHUS in a younger sibling confirmed by molecular genetic testing, in particular, a pathogenic variant in the CD46/MCP (membrane cofactor protein) gene in the heterozygous state has been identified. Physical examination revealed paleness, facial swelling, moderate hypertension, and oliguria. Laboratory findings demonstrated hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, significant azotemia, a severe reduction in the glomerular filtration rate, a high level of aspartate aminotransferase, insignificant electrolyte imbalance, and proteinuria. Supportive treatment included fluid and electrolyte management, fresh frozen plasma, furosemide, and dexamethasone. The child commenced acute hemodialysis due to severe acute kidney injury. Conclusions. A recurrence of aHUS is characterized by severe renal failure requiring acute hemodialysis. Viral infections are potential triggers of aHUS. A relapsing course of the disease and a family history of aHUS indicate the importance of genetic screening, as familial aHUS should be considered.
PEER VIOLENCE: RECOGNITION, UNDERSTANDING AND RESPONSE FROM THE ATTACHMENT THEORY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Tošić Radev Milica , Janković Ivana
Published: July 2023

Violence in schools is one of the biggest problems faced by children, parents, schools, and society as a whole. The causes of violence are multiple, and the consequences numerous, so it is difficult, and at the same time very important, to find potential strategies to prevent and handle this problem. One of the solutions for prevention and treatment can be derived by the application of the attachment theory, which represents a useful theoretical framework for recognizing and understanding the development of violent behavior, and for dealing with it more effectively. The paper will show how some of the important antecedents of peer violence are formed in the context of early interaction with the primary caregiver. The paper summarizes the research indicating that children with a secure pattern of attachment commit peer violence less often, while children with an avoidant and disorganized attachment pattern are the most common in the group of children who behave aggressively and violently towards others. The negative model of others and the underdevelopment of the capacity for mentalization, as a consequence of rejecting caregiving or mothering in which the mother is perceived as fearful and helpless, are key in understanding the inadequate, often reactive and defensive problematic behaviors of these children. The paper will represent the point of view that in the process of preventing peer violence, a positive, sensitive and empathetic relationship that develops between teachers and students is of great importance, and that a teacher’s capacity for mentalizing is an important segment for developing mentalizing in children.
SOME PREDICTORS OF ANTI-FAT PREJUDICES: JOINT ROLE OF GENDER, BODY SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND BMI
Authors: Jovančević Ana
Published: July 2023

The main aim of this study was to check the role of Gender, BMI, and Body self-esteem in the prediction of anti-fat prejudices. The sample was a convenience one and included 311 members of the student population, both sexes, with an average age of 20 years (M = 20.39, SD = 2.58). There were 122 men (39.2%) and 189 women (60.8%). The following instruments were used: Explicit Anti-Fat Attitudes (AFA; Crandall, 1994) and the Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESAA; Mendelson et al., 2001). The Body mass index (BMI) was operationalized by asking respondents for data on their height and weight and calculating their BMI. The data were analyzed using JAMOVI and linear regression. The gender of the respondents, their BMI, and Body self-esteem were predictors, while dimensions of anti-fat prejudices (Dislike, Fear of fat, and Willpower) were criterion variables. The results show that all three regression models were statistically significant. The explained percentage of variance for Dislike was 13.8%, for Fear of fat 18.4%, and for Willpower 19.7%. The results suggest that women are more afraid of gaining weight, while men tend to have higher scores on Dislike towards individuals suffering from obesity and are more prone to believing that individuals suffering from obesity do not have enough Willpower to change. BMI is also a significant predictor, but Body self-esteem is more important than BMI, and Attribution is the only dimension of Body self-esteem whose higher scores are connected to higher levels of prejudices.
TRACES OF SERBIAN NATIONAL-ECCLESIAL AUTONOMY IN THE HABSBURG MONARCHY IN SEVERAL DOCUMENTS FROM BAČKA AT THE TIME OF THE 1730S UPRISING
Authors: Popović Aleksa
Published: July 2023

The history of the Serbian people in the Habsburg Monarchy during the 18th century was marked by the struggle for the preservation of national-ecclesial autonomy, developed on the basis of the Privileges of Emperor Leopold I issued in the period from 1690 to 1695. The position of the people was influenced, more than the authorities of the Metropolitanate, by the territorial authorities. In the first half of the 18th century, frequent malversation by the lords, Chamber officials, and military authorities led to numerous paysans, and especially militars' rebellions. In this place, on the basis of sources and relevant literature, the question of the jurisdiction of the lowest authorities is discussed, using the concrete example of the uprising in Bačka during the 1730s. It can be seen that local authorities did not have executive authority, but only certain judicial authority within the community or, based on Privileges, they could address petitions to the Court. Also, it is noticeable that in all the actions of the Metropolitanate of Belgrade and Karlovci, they attempted to never violate Serbian privileges, as a higher interest, but to maintain their privileged status as much as possible.
