Ambiente Laboratorial E Controle De Qualidade: Uma Atenção Aos Erros Pré-Analiticos Mais Frequentes
Authors: Barbosa Raissa Freitas , Silva Karen Vitória Lima , Costa Fernanda Farias , Sousa Natália Carvalho , Dutra Vitória Estefany Carvalho , Figueiredo Cristiane Santos Silva e Silva
Published: July 2021

A fase pré-analítica é a primeira fase a ser seguida para execução de exames laboratoriais. Sendo uma das fases cruciais, cuidados especiais são exigidos para evitar erros que interfiram no diagnóstico conclusivo do paciente. Como objetivo principal apresentam-se os erros laboratoriais mais frequentes e suas consequências em todo o processo de diagnóstico de pacientes, com ênfase nas falhas da fase pré-analítica. Os laboratórios devem seguir padrões estabelecidos previamente por órgãos responsáveis pela fiscalização de qualidade e desempenho dos mesmos, como a ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) e resoluções de critérios que devem ser seguidos na rotina laboratorial, como a RDC 302/2005. Apesar de toda essa fiscalização, ainda há muitas falhas nos processos analíticos, principalmente na fase pré-analítica, onde ocorrem os erros mais comuns e constantes nos laboratórios, o que acarreta danos aos laboratórios e aos pacientes. Mesmo com todas as instruções, os erros mais corriqueiros acontecem em setores que não são automatizados, ou seja, que dependem especialmente da interferência humana, como a omissão de dados importantes do paciente para com o laboratório, a falta de informações que devem ser passadas aos pacientes antes da coleta das amostras, erros no momento da coleta, do transporte e preparação inicial. Esta revisão de literatura foi produzida através de buscas em revistas eletrônicas nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Google Scholar e PubMed, em artigos publicados entre os anos de 2010 a 2020. Concluindo, torna-se necessário a implementação de medidas que corrijam os erros que mais ocorrem na fase pré-analítica dentro do ambiente laboratorial, desacertos estes que devem ser analisados dia após dia por programas de controle de qualidade contratados pelos laboratórios responsáveis, visando sanar todos estes erros, trazendo assim qualidade nos exames e uma melhor decisão nos tratamentos dos respectivos pacientes.
La Self-Efficacy del Docente Universitario in Situazione di Emergenza Covid-19
Authors: la Marca Alessandra , Di Martino Valeria , Gülbay Elif
Published: July 2021

Le convinzioni che i docenti universitari possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia dei loro studenti. La percezione di autoefficacia dei docenti nella didattica a distanza assume un ruolo ancora più importante in situazione di emergenza Covid-19. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 50 docenti universitari dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo, rilevando l'eventuale incidenza di variabili quali le esperienze pregresse di insegnamento nell'ambito della didattica a distanza e l'autoefficacia nell'utilizzo di tecnologie didattiche.
I contratti di programma: una questione di multitask?
Authors: Nisticň Rosanna
Published: July 2021

- In the light of the results from a wide empirical investigation, this essay examines some crucial characteristics of the Italian policy measure called Contratti di programma through both the analytical framework of the incomplete contracts literature and the multi-task Principal-Agent theory. The Contratti di programma policy is based on a formal agreement between the Italian Government and private firms to carry on an investment programme comprising a number of different projects (industrial investments; workers training programs; research centres and projects). The essay also provides a number of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of this policy.

Struttura economico-finanziaria dell'industria italiana: ruolo degli incentivi pubblici
Authors: Gallo Riccardo , Carapellotti Fabrizio
Published: July 2021

- Italian government's grants to industrial companies have decreased in recent years. Moreover, during the period 2000-2007, less than 25% of total incentives was aimed at sustaining industrial R&D and internationalization activities. In the absence of an effective public aid policy, in 2007 Italian industrial companies were still focused on traditional manufacturing industries and were suffering the increasing competition from emerging countries. The added value of their manufacturing activity has decreased, their technological growth has slowed down, their financial indebtedness has dropped, while their return on equity has increased. The performance of most industrial companies that had received the government's aids has not improved, with the exception of the so-called Made in Italy and the Transportation equipment manufacturing sectors, whose economic performance has improved with state subsidies.

Le multinazionali dei paesi emergenti: gli investimenti cinesi in Italia
Authors: Spigarelli Francesca
Published: July 2021

This paper focuses on a recent phenomenon: the Chinese Go global policy, which encourages domestic firms to enter the global competition through active internationalization processes. At present, Chinese investments are still small compared to the world value of outward foreign direct investments, but it is interesting to focus on their trends and skyrocketing growth. The attention is drawn to the Italian case. Italy is still not playing a major role in Chinese companies' internationalization strategies. Flows and stocks of investments are low and only a small number of companies is investing in Italy. But things are changing quickly. Italy is becoming increasingly interesting for Chinese companies aiming to acquire brands, knowledge and specific competencies, as well as strategic locations to penetrate European markets. The small dimension of the target companies (for acquisitions) encourage Chinese investors to come to Italy. Data on Chinese investments flows, on individual entrepreneurs, as well as on Chinese companies operating in Italy are discussed and analyzed to build a framework to test some preliminary hypotheses and to verify the interest for further research projects. .

Le societŕ controllate dai maggiorni comuni italiani: qualitŕ ed efficienza nella fornitura dei servizi
Authors: Barbaresco Gabriele
Published: July 2021

- Calculation and comparison of quality and efficiency indicators in the provision of local public services have been a relatively neglected field of research in industrial economics. Even the regulatory bodies, if any, which supervise these sectors, have generally failed to construct rigorous and exhaustive databases, and therefore lack what would be an essential tool to exercise their power as regulators. An incomplete and unclear picture emerges, where what little available information there is, is to be found in the "charters of service" drawn up by the companies themselves using selfreferential codes and methodologies that are neither shared nor controlled. The lack of transparence in information terms often goes hand-in-hand with operating inefficiencies, which can be perpetrated more easily in the absence of suitable benchmarking activity. This article seeks to provide an account of an extensive research project to collect and compile quality and efficiency indicators which the Mediobanca Research Department has carried out on behalf of the Civicum Foundation with reference to local public service operators controlled by six of the leading Italian municipalities (Bologna, Brescia, Milan, Naples, Rome and Turin) between 2003 and 2007. .

Dimensione e concentrazione dei gruppi bancari italiani nell'ultimo decennio
Authors: Cerasi Vittoria , Crosato Lisa
Published: July 2021

- The paper analyzes the change in the size distribution of Italian banking groups over the period 1999 to 2007 following a wave of M&As among large banks. Had this process increased the degree of concentration we would have expected greater credit rationing for small firms, given the central role of Italian banks in financing small firms. We measure this change through widely used measures of concentration on branches. First, we observe a steady increase in concentration that can be captured only by looking at the overall size distribution. Other measures do not perceive this change until the year 2007, when the very large banks merged. Second, by focusing on the banking groups that have been active players in M&As we do see a decline in concentration, since smaller players have caught up with the larger ones in terms of rate of size increase. This contrasts with the role of the new entries and the disappearance of banks following mergers, that has increased the dispersion of market shares. The implications are that: i) there is a credit termination risk due to the rise in active players' size, but ii) credit rationing may not occur due to a substitution effect in credit supply from new entries.

Esperienza lavorativa dei fondatori e sopravvivenza delle giovani imprese high-tech in mercati in crisi
Authors: Grilli Luca
Published: July 2021

- This article adds new insights into the relationship between the founders' human capital and the survival prospects of start-up businesses. The impact of founders' human capital on firm survival is controversial. On the one hand, more experienced and skilled individuals are likely to create start-up businesses with a high chance of survival; on the other hand, their opportunity costs to run the firm may be high given the potential returns for investing their efforts in alternative employment opportunities. Analysing a sample of 179 Italian start-up companies created during 1995-early 2000 and operating in the ICT services markets, this study provides evidence that, in intense industry crises (early 2000-2003), highly work-experienced entrepreneurs may pursue an exit strategy, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between different types of work experience and different exit routes. In particular, founding teams with highly specific work experience show higher probability of following the M&A route, while a higher level of generic work experience is more conducive to closure.

La crisi finanziaria č un test per Basilea II?
Authors: Avesani Renzo G.
Published: July 2021

- In the last few months the debate about the Basel II framework has been intensified by the extent of the current financial crisis. The main discussion focused also on the impact of the new capital regulation over the business cycle fluctuations. Some market players fear that the new framework may be pro-cyclical as it is based on risk sensitive principles. Indeed the Basel II Committee is working on reforming part of the existent regulation. But, at the same time, the soundness of the main body of the framework has been confirmed by the supervisors. Anyway it is unreasonable to think that an extensive regulation concerning capital requirements is enough to prevent any excess of the financial market. In fact, the best lesson we may learn from the present crisis is that only a sound and cautious corporate governance leads to a responsible balance between financial profits and underlying risks. A brief description of the crises on the Italian market is also presented. The traditionally conservative lending practice of the Italian banking system seems to have shielded, in part, this economy from the crisis.
Innovazione e ricerca nell'industria italiana. Alcune evidenze dell'indagine MET
Authors: Brancati Raffaele , Ciferri Davide , Maresca Andrea
Published: July 2021

- This work provides results from a survey based on a very large sample (25,000 firms) of Italian manufacturing firms carried out by MET in 2008. This survey, completed straight before the deepening of the financial crisis, aims to offer a detailed picture of the Italian industrial system with its regional, dimensional and sector-based variability. We show some evidence related to innovation and R&D activities. Intense heterogeneity among Italian regions is identified (other than north/south dualism). The main contribution of the work is to provide some measures of innovation and R&D for the smallest firms. Firm size is particularly relevant in explaining the intensity of R&D and the spread of innovation. Nevertheless, there is a key role of small firms in explaining the aggregate innovation performance both at regional and national level. Strong links between Innovation, R&D and Internationalisation are confirmed. R&D activities among small firms have specific characteristics: external research is widespread with an important role played by laboratories shared with other firms.
Dal climate denial alla natura da salvare: il riduzionismo nella narrazione dei cambiamenti climatici
Authors: Bonati Sara
Published: July 2021

Il concetto di ‘natura' nella narrazione dei cambiamenti climatici è spesso abusato e oggetto di strumentalizzazione. Ciò che ne consegue è una fitta rete di disinformazione e misinformazione. Il contributo, pertanto, vuole discutere i diversi modi in cui il concetto di natura è (ab)usato in relazione ai cambiamenti climatici, partendo dalla costruzione sociale della natura. A tale scopo è discusso il ruolo del riduzionismo nella promozione di un'idea di natura intesa unicamente in prospettiva antropocentrica, entro la quale si collocano diverse narrazioni dei cambiamenti climatici: da una parte, le retoriche di ‘saveclimate/nature', nel quale il clima/la natura sono intesi come risorsa da salvare; dall'altra, le teorie negazioniste, che sfruttano l'idea di natura costruita per mettere in discussione le evidenze offerte dalla scienza.
Geografie letterarie della natura: appunti per un'esplorazione more than human
Authors: Luchetta Sara , Peterle Giada
Published: July 2021

Come concetto connotato culturalmente e come oggetto di ricerca, la natura ha luoghi, ma ha anche linguaggi. Uno di questi, la narrazione letteraria, è al centro della riflessione qui proposta. Adottando la prospettiva delle more than human geographies, il contributo esplora due spazi (letterari), quello urbano e quello montano, in cui la natura prende forma come soggetto attivo e creativo. Con l'analisi della natura nell'avanzare dell'urbanizzazione diffusa del Nordest, raccontata da Effetto domino di Romolo Bugaro(2015), e nell'Italia interna dell'Appennino tosco-emiliano de I passi nel bosco di Sandro Campani (2020), il testo letterario viene letto come un ecosistema di voci e soggetti, capace di suggerire sguardi altri sul rapporto fra la natura e l'umano, dentro e fuori la pagina.
A ride on the wild side. Il ruolo della natura nei paesaggi della ciclabilità
Authors: Cisani Margherita
Published: July 2021

La natura assume un ruolo centrale nella costruzione, nella promozione e nella fruizione dei paesaggi della ciclabilità. Facendo riferimento ai più recenti approcci alle mobilità – intese come pratiche in grado di concorrere alla creazione di paesaggi, luoghi e identità – così come a quelli dedicati alla natura sociale, il testo si concentra sul fenomeno del cicloturismo, offrendo un inquadramento degli studi ad esso dedicato e affrontando il rapporto tra bicicletta e natura. In particolare, l'articolo individua ed esplora tre modalitàcon cui la natura entra a far parte del cicloturismo (natura concettuale, elementale e infrastrutturale).
La soggettivitŕ nel vortice della societŕ-mondo. Tre considerazioni intorno al "soggetto come sistema" di Manlio Iofrida
Authors: Manghi Sergio
Published: July 2021

La soggettivitŕ non č una qualitŕ separata dal corpo, come tendiamo a pensarla noi moderni, ma una qualitŕ inscritta nell'organizzazione vivente stessa. Inoltre, essa č non č meramente intra-dividuale, ma allo stesso tempo relazionale e sociale. Tale interpretazione della soggettivitŕ, ispirata in particolare all'opera di Edgar Morin, č convergente con le riflessioni filosofiche sul soggetto sviluppate da Iofrida nella sua discussione delle evidenze sperimentali dell'infant research di orientamento sistemico, e puň aiutare a comprendere le attuali sfide di sopravvivenza della nostra specie, la cui evoluzione č affidata per la prima volta nella sua storia a una forma di coesistenza priva di un epicentro organizzatore unico: la societŕ-mondo.
Alcune note di confine tra psicoanalisi relazionale e fenomenologia dell'alteritŕ
Authors: De Robertis Daniela
Published: July 2021

Incrementare il dialogo con la fenomenologia dell'alteritŕ potrebbe essere utile alla psicoanalisi per impostare piů criticamente il paradigma relazionale e contenere alcuni limiti e aporie che sono sopravvivenze del persistere di polaritŕ dicotomiche nel trattare il rapporto Sé-Altro, soggetto-oggetto, interno-esterno. Superando l'insidia ontologica e epistemologica dei dualismi, il pensiero d'intermediarietŕ, improntato alla nonduality, declina l'esperienza intersoggettiva non in termini contrapposti, ma complementari. Questa logica sincretica, che legge l'autonomia del soggetto come autonomia "relativa", garantisce la coerenza e la "realtŕ" del concetto di relazione.
L'araba fenice e il tempietto dei perfidi lari: dualismo, mentalismo e teoria del soggetto
Authors: Scano Gian Paolo
Published: July 2021

La psicoanalisi nacque come disciplina fisicalista agli albori della crisi della meccanica classica, che ha lasciato la sua impronta sia nella teoria, che rivela un imprevisto dualismo nell'impianto meccanicista, che nella sua evoluzione storica, schiacciata tra contrapposte istanze riduzioniste e mentalista tuttora perduranti. Č difficile dire se la teoria dei sistemi sia sufficiente antidoto contro ogni ritorno del mentalismo, che facilmente filtra nel linguaggio teorico tramite radicate abitudini e pregiudizi, che, come gli idola theatri di F. Bacon, intralciano i processi della conoscenza. L'A. evidenzia alcuni di tali idoli pregiudiziali, riconducendoli ad un'insufficiente considerazione della prospettiva evoluzionista nell'ambito della teoresi psicologica. A partire dall'assunto che il cervello deve essere considerato, anche nelle sue caratteristiche alte e nella sua natura di cervello-che-costruisce-unamente, come un effetto casuale della storia degli organismi di questo pianeta, egli delimita una piattaforma, che poggiando sul ruolo dei qualia nel mondo effettivo della selezione naturale, potrebbe affrontare il problema dell'Io, della soggettivitŕ e dell'intersoggettivitŕ in termini dichiaratamente evoluzionisti in grado di integrare, nella prima, la "natura seconda". Questa prospettiva, tuttavia appena abbozzata, sembra poter consentire di evitare, tanto la Scilla riduzionista quanto la Cariddi mentalista.
Il lavoro clinico con le coppie in un'ottica relazionale
Authors: Banzatti Guido
Published: July 2021

Nel breve scritto sono presentate alcune caratteristiche del setting e del legame di coppia secondo il paradigma intersoggettivo e relazionale. Viene messo in luce particolarmente la natura diadica della relazione di coppia, nelle sue dimensioni di legame "funzionale" strutturato in un sistema implicito non conscio, in continua trasformazione, che accompagna il divenire dei due partner. In questo contesto viene affrontata la questione dei transfert e controtransfert, del possibile significato evolutivo della crisi di coppia nel setting terapeutico come passaggio a nuovi equilibri e soluzioni per il legame amoroso nella coppia
Costituzione identitaria e possibile incidenza dell'evento traumatico non elaborato nella diagnosi di infertilitŕ inspiegata o parzialmente inspiegata
Authors: Torretta Rossella
Published: July 2021

L'esperienza acquisita nei colloqui con le coppie "infertili" ha permesso di evidenziare il peso predominante della mente nei casi di infertilitŕ inspiegata o parzialmente inspiegata. Aspetti affettivi non risolti legati alla vita della coppia, o di uno dei partner, sembrano influenzare la capacitŕ generativa. L'esperienza clinica ha suggerito l'esistenza di un legame profondo tra infertilitŕ inspiegata e la presenza di conflitti che rendono impossibile da affrontare la possibilitŕ di poter generare. Sono tanti i motivi per cui si desidera concepire e, tra questi, anche il bisogno di riparazione. Riparazione alla frattura nel proprio divenire identitariamente, ma anche a quella di adulti significativi nella propria vita. Nel corso di percorsi psicoterapeutici con coppie che si sottoponevano a fecondazione assistita č stata osservata la ricorsivitŕ di esperienze traumatiche e/o luttuose non elaborate, accadute nel corso delle loro vite e in quelle dei loro adulti di riferimento. Per poter approfondire e verificare l'eventuale correlazione e incidenza tra trauma/lutto non elaborato e infertilitŕ inspiegata sono stati studiati questi aspetti su un campione di 89 coppie infertili all'inizio di un programma di PMA. Il 71% del campione presentava almeno un lutto o un trauma non elaborati. L'infertilitŕ inspiegata puň essere letta come un sintomo dietro il quale si celano richieste di autorizzazione a essere, a potersi definire identitariamente. Il trauma č allora stato visto come impossibilitŕ ad acquisire un significato di sé in relazione al contesto nel quale si č inseriti, ostacolo alla possibilitŕ di ricerca della propria identitŕ. Identitŕ intesa come presenza a sé stessi

La patologia borderline come livello di organizzazione di personalitŕ
Authors: McWilliams Nancy
Published: July 2021

L'autrice passa in rassegna la storia del concetto di organizzazione borderline di personalitŕ, come si č sviluppata attraverso varie esperienze cliniche con i pazienti e nella valutazione diagnostica della personalitŕ. L'articolo mette bene in evidenza l'importanza di tenere a mente che i pazienti borderline lottano con interminabili problemi evolutivi. Critica la definizione ristretta di disturbo borderline di personalitŕ secondo la descrizione del DSM e sostiene che, sebbene questa etichetta fondata su un criteri dicotomici sia stata utile per i ricercatori, un costrutto piů dimensionale e meno categorico riveste un valore maggiore per chi pratica la psicoterapia. Inoltre, l'autrice delinea numerose funzioni mentali ed emotive mature che mancano o sono gravemente compromesse nelle personalitŕ borderline. Sono citati parecchi approcci recenti e degni di apprezzamento al trattamento dei pazienti borderline e vengono anche messe in evidenza diverse implicazioni terapeutiche che tutti hanno in comune.

The Self-employment of Women in Azerbaijan
Authors:   Gdańsk University of Techonology, Gomółka Krystyna
Published: July 2021

Azerbaijan has a population of more than 10 million, of which women accounted for 50% in 2020. At the same time, 93% of Azerbaijan’s citizens describe themselves as Muslims. Since the beginning of independence, Azerbaijan has been a secular state by virtue of Article 48 of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of worship, choice, or nonpractice of religion and the freedom of expression of one’s own views on religion. This article aims to assess the changes in the self-employment of women in Azerbaijan through a deductive analysis of data and observation of changes in the structure of resources based on generally available macroeconomic data. This study focuses on the situation of women on the Azerbaijani labour market over the two decades of the 21st century. The numbers of economically active women, including those in employment and the unemployed, and economically inactive women are specified. Further, the government’s legal and financial policy in respect of women’s self-employment is analysed. The author determines what percentage of companies were set up by women and in which sectors and locations.
Hubungan Dukungan Sosial dengan Kualitas Hidup ODHIV di Yayasan Peduli Kelompok Dukungan Sebaya Makassar
Authors: Rosnaini  , Fatmah Afrianty Gobel  , Andi Multazam
Published: July 2021

Peningkatan kasus HIV/AIDS tidak terlepas dari adanya stigma dan diskriminasi pada pengidap yang dapat menjadi penghalang utama terhadap pencegahan, pengobatan, dan akses terkait layanan kesehatan. Berdasarkan data YPKDS, kota Makassar menduduki peringkat pertama jumlah kasus HIV/AIDS sebanyak 2885 kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dukungan sosial terhadap kualitas hidup ODHIV. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Sampel dalam penelitian ini yaitu semua pasangan positif HIV sebanyak 43 responden dengan teknik sampling jenuh. Metode analisis data dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari analisis univariat, analisis bivariat untuk mengetahui hubungan antara variabel independen dan variabel dependen dengan menggunkan uji statistik chi-square, serta analisis multivariat untuk melihat dukungan yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup ODHIV dengan menggunakan uji regresi logistik berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup ODHIV adalah dukungan keluarga (p = 0,010 dan OR = 7,280), dukungan teman (non ODHIV) (p = 0,010), dan dukungan kelompok sebaya (p = 0,028) sedangkan yang tidak berhubungan yaitu dukungan pasangan (p = 255). Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa dukungan keluarga, teman dan kelompok sebaya merupakan variabel yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup ODHIV dan dukungan keluarga merupakan variabel yang paling mendukung sebanyak 7,280 kali terhadap kualitas hidup ODHIV di  Yayasan Peduli Kelompok Dukungan Sebaya Makassar. Saran dari penelitian ini yaitu tidak melakukan stigma dan diskriminasi kepada ODHIV, melainkan memberikan dukungan kepada mereka agar tetap semangat karena yang perlu dihindari bukan orangnya tetapi virusnya dan hal-hal yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya penularan HIV.

Background: Utilisation of the Endoscopic Vein Harvesting (EVH) technique has been increasing for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the last two decades. Some surgeons remain concerned about the long-term patency of the long saphenous vein harvested endoscopically compared to traditional Open Vein Harvesting (OVH). The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of the outcomes between EVH and OVH from three UK centres with 10 years follow-up.

Methods: 27,024 patients underwent CABG with long saphenous vein harvested by EVH (n=13,794) or OVH (n=13,230) in three UK centres between 2007 and 2019. Propensity modelling was used to calculate the Inverse Probability of Treatment Weights (IPTW). The primary endpoint was mortality from all causes and secondary endpoints were length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and incidence of repeat coronary re-vascularisation for symptomatic patients. IPTW was used to balance the two intervention groups for baseline and preoperative co-morbidities.

Results: Median follow-up time was 4.54 years for EVH and 6.00 years for OVH. Death from any cause occurred in 13.8% of the EVH group versus 20.8% in the OVH group over the follow-up period. The hazard ratio of death (EVH to OVH) was 0.823 (95% CI: 0.767, 0.884). Length of hospital stay was similar between the groups (p=0.86). Post-operative pulmonary complications were more common in EVH vs OVH (14.7% vs. 12.8%, p<0.001), but repeat coronary re-vascularisation was similar between the groups.

Conclusion: This large retrospective multicentre analysis indicates that EVH has a lower risk of mortality compared with OVH during the follow-up period of the study. The observed benefits of EVH may outweigh the risks but should be considered on a case-by-case basis. We hope this review gives confidence to other cardiac centres that offering an EVH approach to conduit harvesting does not affect long term patient outcomes.
The influence of indicative cost on the formation of financial potential of higher education institutions in Ukraine
Authors: Sas S.
Published: July 2021

The introduction of innovations in the financial management of higher education institutions (hereinafter – HEIs) is taking place along with other changes in the educational and scientific field and is an important issue today. One of the innovations is the Procedure for the formation of minimum tuition fee for higher education on the basis of indicative ownership, which extends to 38 most popular specialties. The influence of state regulation of the minimum level of the cost of paid educational services for specialists training in some popular specialties on the formation of the financial potential of HEIs is investigated in this paper. The amount of tuition fees for students and indicators of the admission campaign in 2020/2021 academic year of some state HEIs in Lviv region is analyzed. Comparing them with the data of previous academic year, we can see that in HEIs where the cost significantly increase due to the indicative cost use, the number of entrants to the paid form of education are reducing. For comprehensive vision, considerable attention is paid to the national demographic and political situation, as well as to the approaches to higher education funding. The level of actual budget expenditures for the preparation of one applicant for higher education in different state HEIs is analyzed. It is revealed that entrant's demand directly depends on the cost of education. And the financial potential of HEIs which is formed, in particular, through paid educational services depends on the number of enrolled students who will study at the expense of individuals and legal entities. We believe that while forming the price offer and establishing the final cost of training specialists in all specialties in HEIs, in addition to considering all costs of providing services, it is necessary to take into account the situation on the market of educational services and analyze supply and demand for each specialty. It is concluded that the continued application of regulation rules of a reasonable price for education will contribute to the development of competitive educational environment, increase the responsibility of participants in the educational process, and will contribute to financial stability of HEIs.

Seeds of two perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars (diploid ‘Bartwingo’ and tetraploid ‘Calibra’) were stored in hermetically sealed glass jars at four different temperatures (-80, -20, 10 and 20°C) for five years. After the storage period the seeds were sowed in containers filled with commercial substrate. Initial growth and development occurred under natural sunlight and manual watering to maintain optimum substrate moisture. After 60 days of vegetation plants were taken from the substrate, developed plants were counted, their roots were washed and whole plants were measured for shoot and root dry-weight and total biomass.Stems and leaves per plant were counted too. The research has revealed significant effects (p<0.01) of storage temperature, cultivar and their interaction to all of the investigated traits. When averaged over cultivars the highest values were observed upon storage temperature of -20°C for all the traits except root dry-weight which did not differ between -20 and -80°C. The lowest values of all investigated traits were observed upon storage at 20°C. When averaged over storage temperatures, diploid cultivar had greater number of stems and leaves and the tetraploid one had greater root dry-weight, shoot dry-weight and total biomass.
Un regard sur le français inclusif canadien dans une journée de Twitter
Authors: Diaz Colmenares Yarubi
Published: July 2021

This paper looks at the variation of typographical procedures and agreements related to inclusive French (FI) on the microblogging system Twitter in Canada. The corpus used includes 464 tweets geo-localized in Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec and published on May 12th, 2020. They were sorted into cases of simple inclusion (IS), uniform agreement (AU) and mixed agreement (AM). The results showed that IS (57%) is the most preferred approach. When the tweets presented more than one FI mark, the preferred structure was AM (27%). When compared to the 15% of AU cases, we might conclude that uniform agreement is not common in this corpus. The analysis of AM tokens showed a gradual decrease in agreement marks throughout a given tweet. The preferred FI typographical procedures in this corpus (complete doublets, abbreviated doublets with parentheses, and epicene forms) are consistent with the recommendations of the Office québécois de la langue française, despite the informal context. As my results show a set of alternative overlapping agreement systems, I propose that this heterogeneity is one of the characteristic features of inclusive French.
Both, and: Transmedicalism and resistance in non-binary narratives of gender-affirming care
Authors: Konnelly Lex
Published: July 2021

While gender dysphoria is a real and acute distress for many transgender people, it is not universal, and it is experienced and oriented to in a myriad of ways. However, its status as a prerequisite for gender-affirming care can lead trans people to feel compelled to amplify its salience in their pursuits for medical support. Through a critical discourse analysis of non-binary healthcare narratives, I trace the relationship between linguistic practices in these care interactions and the gender and sexual logics of the transmedicalist model of transgender care. With a focus on excerpts that center on individuals’ descriptions of dysphoria in the consultation room, I contend that these experiences are not straightforward accounts of assimilation to transmedicalist expectations. Rather, when read from a trans linguistic perspective, these strategies are examples of non-binary patients enacting their own interventions on a process over which (it may seem) they have minimal control and present a critical thirding (Tuck 2009) of a dichotomous view of either transnormativity or resistance.
Substance-Induced Psychosis in the Geriatric Population: Overview on Screening and Treatment
Authors: Yeung Chloe , Raven Joshua , Qadir Brula Abdul
Published: July 2021

As our elderly population represents an increasing percentage of the overall population, more healthcare resources are spent treating this population. One of the overlooked issues is substance use in this population and its complications. This population is often not forthcoming with psychoactive medical issues, yet many of them came into adulthood in a time when substance use was widespread. This article will discuss the epidemiology of this population, a case of substance-induced persecutory delusion and the availability of screening methods and treatment options.

Arkaik dönemde, insanoğlunun, dünyanın ve kendi varlığının nedeni ve kökenleri üzerine düşünmesi ve bu nedenleri açıklama ve anlama çabası üzerine ortaya çıkan ve nesiller boyu aktarılan mitolojinin, hâlâ modern bireyin inanç ve duygu dünyasına doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak tesir ettiği söylenebilir. Hâlihazırdaki kelam problemlerinden biri olan halk inanışları, Özden Kanter tarafından hazırlanan Mitolojinin Anadolu İnançlarına Etkisi isimli çalışmada mitolojik ve kültürel bağlamda incelenmiş ve günümüz insanının inançları ile kültüre dayalı esas ve uygulamaların iç içe geçtiği görülmüştür. Çalışmanın temel problemi İslam’ın tevhid inancına zarar verecek bazı inanç ve uygulamaların kökeninin sorgulanmadan kabul edilmesi ve hayata geçirilmesidir. Eserin inceleme sahası olan Anadolu, yüzyıllar boyu farklı medeniyetlere, toplumlara ve dolayısıyla birçok inanca ev sahipliği yapmış önemli bir coğrafyadır. Buna bağlı olarak nesilden nesle aktarılan envai mitolojik kökene sahip inanç ve ritüel İslami forma dönüşerek bilinçdışı düzeyde varlığını devam ettirmiştir. Anadolu inançlarını mitolojik ve kültürel kökenleri açısından inceleyen Kanter, disiplinler arası bir çalışma sunmuştur.

Published: July 2021

Uşak’ın Sivaslı ilçesi Selçikler köyünde bulunan Sebaste antik kenti Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde Phrygia Bölgesi sınırları içerisinde yer almaktadır. Makalenin konusunu Selçikler’de 1995 yılında yapılan cami hafriyat çalışmaları sırasında açığa çıkan bir adet kapı tipli mezar steli oluşturmaktadır. Stel, üçgen bir alınlık içerisinde kemer betimine sahiptir. Kapı çerçevesi, üç fascialı olarak yapılmıştır. Çerçeve içerisindeki kapı betimi ise stel gövdesi üzerinde bezeme içeren dört panelden oluşmaktadır. Stelimizi Sebaste ve yakın çevresinden bulunan kapı tipli stellerden ayıran özelliği ise panellerdeki betimleridir. Stel tipolojik, ikonografik ve stilistik incelemelerine göre MS 2.-3. yüzyıla tarihlendirilmektedir. Bu yüzyıllar Sebaste’nin de en görkemli dönemlerini yansıtmaktadır. Kentte böyle bir mezar stelinin bulunması kentli elit sınıfın varlığı, yaşam biçimi ve ölü gömme geleneği konusunda aydınlatıcı bilgiler içermektedir.
Conteúdo material e culturalmente inclusivo do Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana
Authors: Beltramelli Neto Silvio
Published: July 2021

Pretende-se, a partir do exame de diferentes abordagens filosóficas da noção de dignidade humana, apresentar os termos de um conteúdo do Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana que seja mostre consentâneo com a realidade da desigualdade material e da opressão cultural que permeiam o modelo societal vigente. Para tanto, foi empregado o método procedimental bibliográfico, tendo-se por ponto de partida a proposta de Daniel Sarmento sobre as funções e componentes do Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana, sobretudo os componentes do mínimo existencial e do reconhecimento, analisados, neste artigo, à luz de outros autores dos campos do conhecimento filosófico, sociológico e jurídico. Conclui-se que que o Princípio da Pessoa Humana exige seja dada máxima proteção aos direitos à igualdade material e ao reconhecimento, o que reclama, necessariamente, a preservação de espaços institucionais deliberativos que assegurem representação plural de todos os grupos econômica e culturalmente vulneráveis.

Published: July 2021

Social license to operate is a measure to engage with and gain acceptance from the stakeholders for large infrastructure projects. The object of this study is to measure social license to operate an infrastructure project in Khulna city, Bangladesh. Predicated on an established model, 16 statements were selected as the basis for measuring the social license to operate. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 44 local stakeholders. Using varimax rotation, five different components were identified: socio-political, economic, procedural fairness, interactional trust, and institutional trust. The model was statistically tested and found to be a medium fit explaining the results. The findings are that the project has gained socio-political, economic, procedural fairness, and interactional trust of the stakeholders, yet lacks institutional trust factor to achieve a social license to operate. The paper recommends the inclusion of the social license to operate concept in infrastructure planning and implementation phases in Bangladesh.

El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en comparar diferentes aproximaciones que permitan una mejor caracterización de la calidad ambiental, utilizando macroinvertebrados bentónicos como indicadores en ríos de la serranía suroccidental. El estudio se desarrolló con datos de los monitoreos de hidrobiología del Proyecto Quellaveco entre los años 2013-2015, con los que se obtuvieron índices de calidad (ABI, EPT, IMEERA y SVAP), índices de estructura comunitaria (Shannon, Simpson, N1 de la serie de Hill y Pielou) e índices de diversidad funcional (riqueza, diversidad, disimilaridad y equidad funcional, y Q de Rao). Los resultados de los análisis multivariados mostraron que los índices de diversidad funcional, el índice de Simpson e IMEERA tienen representatividad significativa en las unidades de estudio.  Se concluye que los índices de diversidad funcional pueden ser índices alternativos a los tradicionales y de calidad ambiental, además la caracterización del ecosistema basado en la cantidad de especies y su abundancia en una comunidad, o los rasgos funcionales que abarcan, son insuficientes para explicar completamente la calidad de un ecosistema.
