Authors: Stevanović Marija , Jovanović Violeta , Simonović Danijela , Krstić Vesna
Published: December 2024

The driver of modern world industry is electricity. Production, distribution and use of electricity affect the functioning of modern industrial plants, the process of communication in the modern world, as well as numerous other types of services that are necessary for people's lives. The technological process of coal-based electricity production contributes to the increased emission of gases that have a large negative impact on the environment. Carbon dioxide (CO2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), nitrogen oxides (NOx ), carbon monoxide (CO) and solid PM particles are the main constituents of polluting gases from thermal power plants. All the mentioned compounds have harmful effects on the environment, and in the long term they also affect climate change (greenhouse effect). Due to the aforementioned problems, it is important to apply the principles of corporate social responsibility to companies in the energy sector. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the impact of the organizational structure of the company on the development of the system of corporate social responsibility in companies from the energy sector. The research results confirmed the positive impact of the organizational structure on socially responsible business practices

Contribution to the development of a method for dimensioning the torsion stabilizer of a bus in the phase of the conceptual design
Authors: Demić Miroslav
Published: December 2024

During the conceptual design phase of a bus, many parameters are unknown and are adopted based on analogous design solutions or relevant recommendations. This paper develops a method for defining the diameter of the torsion stabilizer with the aim of minimizing its forced torsional vibrations and torsional loads, using a "stochastic parameter optimization" method. During the post-optimal analysis, the diameter was calculated based on the allowable rolling angle of the bus body, and the construction safety factor of the stabilizer was calculated. The method is illustrated with the mass and dimensional parameters of the intercity bus SANOS S 13, with a total mass of 13520 kg. The analysis determined that the developed method yields acceptable results, as comparisons were made with the dimensions of the torsion stabilizer of the produced bus.

Published: December 2024

Among the cereals, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a member of the glutenfree cereal family. This crop is widely cultivated in a wide range of geographic locations due to its strong heat and drought resistance and high photosynthetic efficiency. Rich in macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (minerals, vitamins), sorghum also contains phenolic compounds (tannins, phenolic acids, and flavonoids), which have antioxidant properties. Given its many health benefits, including its ability to suppress the formation of cancer cells and reduce obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, sorghum is used for both human and animal consumption. It can be used for baking, extrusion, and different cereal-based products such as bread, cookies, pasta, expanded snacks, and breakfast cereals. This study aimed to develop four types of snack products based on red sorghum flour (95, 92, 90, and 89%) with the addition of i) a mixture of sweet and hot ground red pepper (5, 8 and 10%); ii) cocoa powder (5, 8 and 10%); and iii) a mixture of cocoa powder (10%) and cinnamon (1%), while a 100% red sorghum snack product served as a control sample. The following extrusion processing parameters were used: feeding rate of 50 kg/h, screw speed of 800, 850, and 900 RPM, and the material moisture content in the extruder barrel ranged from 13 to 14%. The following quality attributes of snacks obtained were determined: expansion ratio, bulk density, water absorption index, water solubility index, colour and texture (hardness, number of fractures, crispiness work, crispiness index). Based on the selected quality indicators, all types of snack products obtained in this study have the potential for commercialization. However, before commercialization, consumer acceptance tests and preference tests need to be conducted.

Authors: Ranisavljević Maja , Dobrić Jelena
Published: December 2024

As an alternative to trusses and open-web joist systems, beams with Web openings are lightweight, long-spanning structural elements that bind structural role (efficient load distribution) and functionality in a visually acceptable way by allowing service routes to be installed within their cross-section height. Owing to its specific production process, this beam type has a beneficial impact on rational use of material for low-carbon structures. In recent years, extensive scientific research has been conducted to assess the structural behavior and ultimate capacity of beams with Web openings. Due to the presence of Web openings, load transfer is accompanied by complex stress distributions in the section Web, causing failure modes that are distinguishable from those of solid I-section beams. This paper summarizes the different failure modes of the beams with Web openings that have been discovered and confirmed in numerous experiments of reference scientific researches. Based on the state-of-the art in this structural area, the predictions of different failure modes that are affected by influencing geometric parameters are provided.

Authors: Bogdanović Svetlana , Zlatković Ivana , Veličković Ana , Ranđelović Dobrila
Published: December 2024

Urinary tract infections (UTI) represent a significant cause of morbidity affecting individuals of all ages, including the pediatric population. In about 80% of cases, the cause of UTI in humans is Escherichia coli. In this paper, we have investigated the antibacterial effect of essential oils of ten species of plants on clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the pediatric population. The existing differences in the antimicrobial effect of essential oils were examined by the one-way ANOVA method, while Tukey's test was used to compare pairs. The results have shown that the essential oil of Origanum vulgare L. had the strongest antimicrobial activity (> 25 mm). The weakest effect was shown by the oil of Chamomilla recutita (L.) Raushert, which showed the antimicrobial effect only towards E. coli. Based on the results, we can conclude that essential oils can be a natural alternative to the use of antibiotics.

Authors: Grujović Mirjana , Žugić-Petrović Tanja , Marković Katarina
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to assess the safety and antimicrobial properties of Enterococcus species isolated from raw goat milk and cheese. The isolates were evaluated for hemolytic activity on blood agar plates and antibiotic susceptibility by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of five antibiotics: ampicillin, tetracycline, gentamicin, streptomycin, and vancomycin. Furthermore, the antagonistic activity of the Enterococcus strains against indicator bacteria was assessed using the agar-well diffusion method. Hemolytic activity results demonstrated a-hemolysis in all isolates. Among the 71 Enterococcus isolates examined, 32.39% exhibited resistance to at least one antibiotic, with resistance profiles varying between species. Enterococcus faecalis isolates predominantly showed resistance to vancomycin, ampicillin, tetracycline, and gentamicin, while Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus hirae displayed resistance to vancomycin with different susceptibility patterns to the other antibiotics. The antagonistic assays revealed a broad spectrum of inhibitory effects, with variation in inhibition zone diameters. These findings provide valuable insights into the safety and antimicrobial potential of Enterococcus spp. from raw goat milk and cheese and give an insight into their potential applications in the food industry.
Plant species of the genus Pedicularis L. In the territory of the Western Balkans: Overview of use in traditional medicine, phytochemistry, biological and pharmacological activity
Authors: Zubić Nevena , Tomović Jovica
Published: December 2024

Modern pharmacotherapy is based on chemical substances derived from plants and herbal medicine from the past. Pedicularis L. is one of the largest genera of hemiparasitic flowering plants, with over 500 species known. It is mostly found in the cold highlands of the northern hemisphere. Numerous endemic Pedicularis species may be found in the Balkans, demonstrating their significance in plant endemism. However, several of these species may face conservation issues due to human activities like habitat fragmentation, agricultural development, and other pressures. Monitoring their numbers, protecting their habitat, and increasing public understanding of their significance are the goals of conservation initiatives. By conducting field surveys and molecular analysis to comprehend their evolutionary relationships, researchers are still working to improve the taxonomic classifications of Balkan Pedicularis species. The chemicals from Pedicularis plant species that have been identified so far have been shown to have anti-tumor, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, and diuretic properties in research published in the literature. This paper provides an overview of previous research in the Western Balkans.
The use of virtual currencies in microtransactions as a predatory monetization tool
Authors: Tomić Nenad , Aleksić Dušan
Published: December 2024

Microtransactions increase the possibility of charging individual players an amount significantly higher than the average premium price of the complete game. A large number of publishers also use a special currency created solely for the purpose of paying microtransactions in that video game. Such currency is called virtual currency and as a rule it only works in a closed community formed around a specific video game. The topic of this paper is the use of virtual currencies in video games as a tool for performing microtransactions. The aim of the paper is to point out the negative aspects of this aggressive form of monetization in video games and to reveal approaches for avoiding it. Virtual currencies are the most refined tool of aggressive monetization, because their application is the easiest way to achieve the unfair practices, which makes publishers earn more money for the content offered. The key to the sustainable use of virtual currencies in video games is a balance between the efforts of gamers and publishers.
The impact of liquidity on the financial succes of agricultural enterprises
Authors: Ševkušić Ljubiša , Bodiroga Radomir
Published: December 2024

It is often pointed out in the literature that liquidity is one of the key determinants of a company's success. However, the impact of liquidity is not the same for all economic entities, but it largely depends on the activity in which the company is engaged. In this regard, the main preoccupation of this paper is to examine the effects of liquidity on the financial results of enterprises in the agricultural sector of Serbia. In addition to simple correlation and regression analysis, the paper used methods of parsing and comparison, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. The results of the research clearly show that there is a weak positive correlation between liquidity and financial results of agricultural enterprises in Serbia, ie. that liquidity doesn't significantly determine the success of these companies.

Authors: Dubovac Stefan
Published: December 2024

Economic as well as economic progress of each country largely depends on the developed strategy and application of adequate monetary policy, where their mutual dependence permeates and is conditioned by numerous factors that are part of internal and external events. The period from 2019 to 2024 is accompanied by changes on the global level, which have natural and geopolitical characteristics. The readiness of each country to deal with the emerging problems in monetary policy largely depends on its readiness and the strategic frameworks in which it previously implemented monetary policy. Essentially, it is important to keep in mind that the coordination of monetary policy on the global level has a significant role, because the interdependent economy and economy has an impact on the stability of the monetary system of each country. In order to observe the similarities but also the differences in the monetary policy of the Republic of Serbia and the surrounding countries, the work deals with analysis and comparison in the period from 2019 to 2024.
Inheritance in same-sex communities in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Račić Anđelka
Published: December 2024

Social communities are prone to evolutionary changes that are initiated sometimes by the dominant minority, and sometimes under the influence of the quantitative energy of the oppressed minority. Partnerships have been prone to change for centuries. From the traditional patriarchal family, through the recognition of the rights of extramarital unions, and the acceptance of same-sex civil unions, in order to promote samesex marriage in the last decade. The paper deals with the review of the development and implementation of the idea of recognizing the right to marriage for same-sex couples, the global attitude towards the same with special reference to the Republic of Serbia. Namely, the Republic of Serbia does not recognize same-sex marriages, nor does it recognize them by law, no matter where they were concluded, and in this sense, the paper explains the possibilities of inheritance between same-sex partners, regardless of the fact that legal inheritance is impossible.

Authors: Marinković Veljko , Lazarević Jovana , Šapić Srđan
Published: December 2024

Contemporary marketing-oriented enterprises analyze the behavior of their target consumers by tracking the combined influence of various external and internal factors. The fundamental external determinant shaping consumer behavior is culture, while lifestyle stands out as one of the most significant internal determinants of consumption. Accordingly, the goal of the paper is to generate knowledge about national culture dimensions and consumer lifestyle influence on consumer behavior during the purchase decision-making process. For this purpose, 372 consumers were surveyed. The reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and Harman's one-factor test were conducted to assess model fit. The structural equation modeling was applied for hypothesis testing. The results of the conducted structural equation modeling confirm the national culture dimensions and lifestyle to be significant determinants of consumer behavior as they go through the purchase decision-making process. The paper's originality and contribution are related to the forming and empirical testing of an innovative, integrated research framework in the consumer behavior domain, as well as generating useful empirical knowledge that can serve managers and governments for formulating and implementing future business strategies.
Extended deterrence: Concept, challenges and problems
Authors: Pejić Igor
Published: December 2024

This paper addresses the challenges faced by states in implementing the strategy of extended deterrence. Unlike direct deterrence, extended deterrence involves the participation of an additional actor, which makes political and military calculations more complex, thereby impacting the success of the strategy. As with direct deterrence, in extended deterrence, the issue of credibility is a central theme that often determines the strategy's success and the way states prepare for potential threats. For a potential aggressor, credibility pertains to the political will and resources of the potential victim and its allies to defend it. On the other hand, for the defending state, credibility depends on the political intentions of its allies to protect it from a potential aggressor. Ultimately, major allies can manipulate various political tools to influence the policy of a potential aggressor, as well as the policy of smaller allies. The relationships between these actors and the perception of political intentions represent a key issue that leads to various dilemmas within the extended deterrence strategy. To explain the challenges and issues of extended deterrence, the paper analyzes various historical events. For instance, in the case of the Crimean War, unclear political intentions towards the Ottoman Empire, as well as mutual doubts between Great Britain and France, failed to deter Russia from its military campaign against the "sick man of the Bosphorus". Strategic ambiguity, or ambivalence, which directly impacts the credibility of deterrence, is an important tool of great power politics, as evidenced in the case of Taiwan and the United States. By maintaining an ambiguous policy toward Taiwan, Washington allows continued cooperation with China while simultaneously keeping China uncertain about the U.S. response to a potential invasion of Taiwan. In this text, we also examine the challenges faced by small states and the dilemmas confronted by major allies. The relationships between these actors can often come at the expense of smaller allies. For small states, a high level of trust in a major ally can create space for them to engage in risky geopolitical ventures, which may harm the interests of the great powers. On the other hand, small states often hesitate in their relations with larger allies, fearing that "settling accounts" with other major powers may work to their disadvantage. The relationships between Washington, Tokyo, Seoul, and Taipei during the Cold War offer excellent examples of various alliance dilemmas and the policies these states used to reconcile divergent interests. The cases of the United States and its distant allies reveal the overlap between extended deterrence strategies and power projection. In Washington's case, these strategies are complementary and often mutually reinforcing, which simplifies matters for American allies while sowing doubt among U.S. rivals. Ultimately, these contradictions impact the success of the strategy, leading some scholars to argue that deterrence is an art, not a science.

Published: December 2024

Due to the ability to be carriers for both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances, creams as a type of emulsion are extremely popular carriers in the production of pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations. On the other hand, emulgels, as newer types of emulsions in which the aqueous phase is gelled with gelling agent, are increasingly being investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the differences between textural characteristics and evaluate the stability of emulsion systems stabilized with mixed emulsifier Myristyl Alcohol and Myristyl Glucoside - cream and emulgel whose water phase was gelled with Cellulose gum. Textural analysis was carried out after the preparation of the samples, as well as after one month and after 6 months from the making of the samples. The Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer was used to perform texture analysis, for determining the following parameters: hardness cycle 1, hardness cycle 2, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, resilience, and springiness. The results showed that at the beginning of the study, the value of hardness and resilience of cream and emulgel was similar, but the cream had higher cohesiveness and lower adhesiveness and springiness than emulgel. However, during the study, there was a change in the parameters of the emulgel, which were statistically significant during the first month after the production of the emulgel, when an increase in hardness, adhesiveness and springiness appeared. On the repeated measurement after 6 months, there were no significant differences compared to the results after the first month, leading to conclusion that it took less than a month for the emulgel to reach its final structure.

Published: December 2024

The assessment of color, texture, and sensory characteristics of cookies is essential as these factors significantly influence consumer acceptance and overall product appeal. Moreover, such evaluations provide invaluable insights into the synergies between ingredients and the potential market viability of the product. This research aims to investigate the impact of nettle seeds and nettle seed extract on the color, texture, and sensory attributes of wheat flour-based products, comparing these outcomes to a control (products without nettle seeds). Product color was evaluated using a MINOLTA Chroma Meter CR-00, while textural properties such as firmness and brittleness were measured using a TA-XTplus Texture Analyzer equipped with a 3-Point Bending Rig. Additionally, sensory evaluations were conducted 24 hours post-baking by a panel of seven experienced evaluators using a standardized scoring method. Color analysis revealed that products enriched with nettle seeds exhibited darker shades, whereas those with nettle seed extract showed enhanced red tones compared to the control. Instrumental texture analysis indicated that nettle seed products had softer textures, as evidenced by significantly lower values of firmness and brittleness, which in stark contrast to the firmer textures observed in products with nettle seed extract and the control. These findings were further corroborated by sensory evaluations, where panelists expressed a preference for the appearance, texture, smell, and taste of products containing nettle seeds. Overall, this research emphasizes the significant potential of nettle seeds as a functional ingredient, enhancing both the sensory appeal and overall quality of food products.

Authors: Palacios-Rodríguez Antonio , Llorente-Cejudo Carmen , Lucas Margarida , Bem-haja Pedro
Published: December 2024

Teachers’ digital competence is essential in contemporary education due to the growing role of technology in society, schools, and classrooms. This study examines teachers’ digital competence in the context of the Iberian Peninsula, covering 170,603 in-service teachers in Spain (Andalusia) and Portugal. Its main objective is to analyze the differences in teachers’ digital competence between these two countries and explore the factors that could influence this competence. The study methodology is based on a large sample of teachers who completed the validated DigCompEdu Check-In. Descriptive, contrast and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that, in general, Portuguese teachers showed a slightly higher level of digital competence compared to their Spanish counterparts in all competence areas assessed. The competence area “Facilitating Learner's Digital Competence” obtained lower scores in both countries, which stresses the need to improve teachers’ ability to foster the digital competences of their students in digital safety, critical literacy or problem solving. Results further show that gender, age, educational level and teaching experience are significant factors in explaining teachers’ digital competence. This study underscores the importance of implementing personalized training programs adapted to the individual needs and characteristics of teachers. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of fostering collaboration among teachers, promoting spaces and opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices. This collaboration not only helps bridge the gap in digital competence among educators but also drives updated and relevant education in the digital age.

Authors: Casalins Petro Diana , Lafaurie Molina Andrea
Published: December 2024

A partir del movimiento de la Nueva Museología y de la consolidación de la perspectiva de derechos, los museos como instituciones sociales están llamados a ser cada vez más participativos e involucrar a sus comunidades, aunque en la práctica no siempre logra materializarse como una realidad. Niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) representan un amplio porcentaje de sus visitantes anuales, sin embargo rara vez se les incluye en las decisiones sobre su funcionamiento y el diseño de los programas. Desde un paradigma construccionista, un enfoque cualitativo y un diseño de estudio de casos, llevamos a cabo un estudio en el que nna participaran, a través de la estrategia fotovoz, en la generación de exposiciones temporales en tres museos de la región Caribe colombiana. Entre los hallazgos de la investigación se resalta que, en el entorno adecuado, NNA exploran materiales y técnicas para encontrar su voz y manifestarse de múltiples formas, siendo la estética una de las más evidentes. Estas estéticas alternativas, no siempre van en la misma dirección de las de los museos pero pueden complementar el lenguaje de las exhibiciones y permitir a los NNA visibilizar sus voces, silencios, aportes y ausencias, que generan influencia en la toma de decisiones y dinámicas propias de las organizaciones museales.

Bibliometric characteristics of retracted publications in pediatrics research: a systematic review
Authors: Yang Zhi-Yi , Yang Li-Li
Published: December 2024

Purpose: In recent years, the number of retractions in biomedical literature has increased. Analyses of retracted publications can provide important information on the characteristics of retractions and may help reduce this trend. This study aimed to systematically analyze the time, source, citations, and reasons for retraction of pediatric research papers.Methods: A systematic review of retracted articles related to pediatrics was performed in PubMed and Web of Science databases from their inception through December 31, 2023. Excluded from the review were articles unrelated to pediatric studies, conference proceedings, non-English articles, duplicates, and articles that could not be identified. The data extracted and analyzed included the title, publication year, retraction year, country, journal, impact factor, the party who raised the retraction, the reason for retraction, citation count, and the authors of the articles.Results: The interval between publication and retraction ranged from 0 to 45 years, and the number of retracted papers peaked in 2023. China and the United States had the most retractions, and China had the highest rate of retraction. The proportion of retractions from China increased over time. Several journals published by Hindawi had many retractions compared to other journals. The most frequent reasons were publication issues, errors, and fraud/fabrication.Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of retracted articles in pediatric research. Our findings suggest that it is important to scrutinize the process of research and publication, to identify and counter research misconduct, and to make the instructions, procedures, and outcomes of publication more transparent for researchers, publishers and regulators.
Visibility analysis of Medieval and Early Modern period fire beacon sites in Turku Archipelago, Southwestern Finland
Authors: Saunaluoma Sanna , Leppänen Jere
Published: December 2024

A defense and guarding system consisting of fire beacon networks was commonly used in Scandinavian coastal areas from the Late Iron Age until the Early Modern period. A chain-like system of signal fire stations was established in locations strategically important for defense and activated if the threat of an enemy attack concretized. Historical sources evidence that the same defense system was also utilized in the archipelago and coastline of southern Finland. Also, certain place names are considered to reflect ancient warning fire activities. Using GIS-based analyses, we examine whether these place names in the Turku archipelago can be distinguished from other locations based on their visibility and topography. In addition, we investigate how visible other potential signal fire stations and certain sailing routes are from the sites selected for the analysis, and the possibility of them having an interactive connection based on visual observation.

The stable isotope composition of dental tissues allows for the exploration of childhood diet. With traditional methods, the accuracy of dating the samples to gain precise information on the schedule of dietary changes has however been rather poor. The more recent methodological advances have enhanced the dating of samples but generally require expensive, complicated technologies. Not only assigning correct developmental periods to each dentin sample but also their temporal overlapping causes problems as rather than a reflection of diets of subsequent periods, these values represent rolling averages. This short paper proposes a novel method to reduce the temporal overlapping of dentin samples in stable isotope studies utilizing stable isotope analyses of carbon and nitrogen.
Narratiivinen katsaus avoimen dialogin mielenterveyshoitomallista
Authors: Bergström Tomi
Published: December 2024

Avoimen dialogin hoitomalli on perhe- ja verkostokeskeinen tapa uudelleenorganisoidamielenterveyspalvelut niin, että palveluissa kohdataan potilaat ja heidän läheisensä aiempaavastavuoroisemmin ja tilanteenmukaisemmin.
Avoimen dialogin hoitomalli on useissa toisistaan riippumattomissa tutkimuksissa ollut yhteydessämyönteisiin hoitotuloksiin ja kustannussäästöihin erityisesti akuutti- ja nuorisopsykiatrian palveluissa,mutta satunnaiskontrolloitu tutkimusnäyttö on puutteellista.
Hoitomallin implementaatiota ja satunnaiskontrolloidun tutkimusnäytön tuottamista hankaloittaa se,että avoimen dialogin hoitomallissa on kyse enemmän hoitoparadigman muutoksesta kuin uudestahoitomenetelmästä.
Avoimen dialogin hoitomallin kokonaisvaltainen implementaatio nykyjärjestelmään voi olla mahdollista,mutta siihen liittynee monia huomioon otettavia haasteita.
Yksittäisten työntekijöiden on mahdollista edistää dialogisempaa työskentelyotetta,vaikka hoitomallia ei olisikaan kokonaisvaltaisesti implementoitu.
Osallisuus ehkäisee väkivaltaa: Kuuntele lasta ja nuorta, tunnista väkivaltaisia rakenteita ja ota puheeksi

Väkivaltaa ja osallisuutta koskeva tieto on nykyisellään liian hajanaista.
Tieteellisiin artikkeleihin ja opinnäytteisiin perustuva synteesi kertoo osallisuuden ja väkivallanyhteyksistä väkivallan ehkäisyn ja väkivaltatyön näkökulmista.
Osallisuus suhteessa väkivaltaan näyttäytyy lasten ja nuorten valmiuksina tunnistaa väkivalta jahakea apua siihen sekä ammattilaisten valmiuksina yhtäältä tunnistaa väkivallalle altistaviarakenteita ja toisaalta käyttää lapsen kuulemista ja osallistumista tukevia käytäntöjä työssään.
Osallisuuden näkökulmasta väkivaltatyön kehittämisen tarpeet painottuvat1. uskallukseen puhua väkivallasta2. ammattilaisten tarvitsemaan lisätietoon ja työnohjaukseen3. väkivallalle altistavien rakenteiden tunnistamiseen.
Lasten ja nuorten mielenterveyttä edistävien psykososiaalisten menetelmien vaikuttavuuden arviointi
Authors: Malmivaara Antti
Published: December 2024

Vaikuttavuustietoa saadaan satunnaistetuilla vertailututkimuksilla (randomized controlled trial,RCT) tai vertaiskontrolloiduilla tutkimuksilla (benchmarking controlled trial, BCT). Lasten ja nuortenmielenterveyttä edistävien psykososiaalisten menetelmien (interventioiden) arvioinnissa voidaanhyödyntää näitä molempia.
Yksilöön kohdistuvissa yksittäisissä menetelmissä (kliininen impaktitutkimus) satunnaistettuvertailukoetutkimus on yleensä luotettavin menetelmä, ja vertaisarvioinnissa vertaiskontrolloitututkimus on ainoa käytettävissä oleva menetelmä.
Järjestelmään kohdistuvien menetelmien vaikuttavuutta (järjestelmäimpaktitutkimus) arvioidaanjoko ryhmäsatunnaistetuilla vertailututkimuksilla tai vertaiskontrolloiduilla tutkimuksilla.
Pätevä arvio tulosten sovellettavuudesta arjen oloihin edellyttää kattavaa kuvausta tutkittavienominaisuuksista, vertailussa olevista interventioista sekä tuloksista. Järjestelmäimpaktitutkimuksissatarvitaan lisäksi kuvaus verrattavien järjestelmien ominaisuuksista.
Vertaiskontrolloinnin menetelmällä (benchmarking-method) voidaan arvioida satunnaistettujavertailututkimuksia ja vertaiskontrolloituja tutkimuksia sekä näistä tehtyjä järjestelmällisiäkatsauksia.
Hermenéutica, tradición y modernidad en los símbolos esotéricos de la regla Kimbisa y la masonería
Authors: De Diego González Antonio
Published: December 2024

Las no casuales coincidencias entre la regla kimbisa y la masonería constituyen un punto de partida interesante para explorar los conceptos de tradición y modernidad en el pensamiento afrocaribeño del siglo XIX. En un contexto intelectual donde la tradición, aún reimaginada a través de lo esotérico, parece primar y reivindicarse frente a una modernidad deshumanizadora y fría, volviendo a poner a disposición del ser humano el símbolo, el mito y el rito para relanzar categorías como la inmortalidad, la trascendencia y la iniciación. A partir de una aproximación hermenéutica, el objetivo del artículo es explorar las intersecciones simbólicas entre la kimbisa y la masonería tanto en sus discursos como en sus prácticas rituales, simbólicas y mitológicas que fundan estas vías iniciáticas contemporáneas.

Background: It is not well known if there have been changes in the clinical characteristics during the evolution of covid-19 from the beginning of the pandemic to the current endemic.

Objective: To know the variations the clinical features of cases of covid-19 from 2020 to 2024.

Methodology: Descriptive analysis and comparison of secondary data of cases of covid-19 from previous studies in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 years, all of them carried out in the same population of patients treated in a general medicine office in Toledo, Spain.

Results: 100 covid-19 cases were included in 2020, 42 in 2021, 46 in 2022, 76 in 2023 and 54 in 2024. These cases from the respective samples differed in a statistically significant way in that they were progressively older and had a tendency to present greater number of chronic diseases in 2024 versus 2020. The statistically significant differences between symptoms were: 1) A tendency to present more General symptoms from 2020 to 2024; 2) A peak of increased frequency of ENT symptoms in 2022; And 3) A progressive trend to present fewer Digestive symptoms from 2020 to 2024.

Conclusion: In the general practice setting in Toledo, Spain, from 2020 to 2024, cases of covid-19 were mild in all years, showed a tendency to go from symptoms of multiple organ systems at the beginning of the pandemic, to a common cold-like syndrome in 2022, to a flu-like syndrome in 2024, and occurred in people progressively older with more chronic diseases.
