Territorial Education through Urban Agriculture: Contributing to Building Sustainable Cities in Times of a Pandemic
Authors: Simon Sandrine 
Published: May 2021

The multi-dimensional damages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have highlighted the fragility of our economic systems and their lack of resilience. People are starting to question globalisation, and debates on alternative modes of development are back and alive. If economic paradigms need reforming, we also need educational systems that will equip people to build more sustainable societies. With this in mind, this article focuses on two crucial components in ‘current issues in comparative education’. One relates to the emergence of a so-far under-explored area of research in education, that of Territorial Education (TE), and places it in the context of both the 1990s educational reforms, intended to create a standardised ‘world class education’, and of ‘education for sustainability’. The second one focuses on the experiential nature that skill-orientated Territorial Education can provide, in contrast to other types of ‘education for sustainability’ approaches that are more conceptual. Using Urban Agriculture initiatives in Lisbon as illustrative examples, the article shows that such practical approaches might help to make cities sustainable and resilient in the future.
Suggestions for Critical Awareness, Accountability, and Transformation in Human Rights Education
Authors: Foley Jr. William J. 
Published: May 2021

Human Rights Education exists as an implementing entity of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Scholars such as Andre Keet and others have criticized the dissemination of universal rights through education because it covets Western ideology over local ethical and epistemological constructs. Using Tibbitts’ revised typologies of Human Rights Education, this paper offers suggestions for critical pedagogy for the teaching of, for, and through Human Rights. These suggestions are drawn from examples of critical practice from throughout the world.
A MINIMAL ROLE FOR MINIMUM TAXES
Authors: Sheffrin Steven 
Published: May 2021

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the alternative minimum tax for corporations and sharply eviscerated the alternative minimum tax for individuals. Yet recently there has been a resurgence of interest in minimum taxes both for the international tax systems and in certain domestic contexts.
This Article argues that there should be a role, but a very minimal one, for minimum taxes in our tax system. While reasonable arguments have been put forward for minimum taxes, on closer examination, many of these arguments are found wanting. This Article, however, does make a second-best case for one type of minimum tax, namely as a backstop for a potentially flawed or deficient tax. That is the “minimal role for a minimum tax.”
To develop this argument, I explore three distinct theoretical rationales for minimum taxes that have been put forward. First, I discuss the distinction between unilateral and multilateral minimum taxes and the potential role that multilateral minimum taxes can play in alleviating concerns that arise from tax competition and the presence of tax havens. While unilateral minimum taxes may have a strong rationale, the rationale for multilateral minimum taxes is not compelling. Second, I show how considerations of fairness, public perception, and alternative views of the corporation create a demand for minimum taxes. This demand, however, can be satisfied in other ways. Finally, I discuss how the imperfect targeting of tax preferences and practical limitations in the design and effectiveness of the most common taxes can provide a potential, but limited, efficiency rationale for the use of minimum taxes. I lastly provide an example of the use of minimum taxes for reforming state corporate taxation.

Audit offices from an international perspective: a look across the border
In recent years there has been a lot of discussion about and movement in the position of local audit offices in the Netherlands, For example, there is currently a bill to strengthen the audit offices in the Dutch House of Representatives (‘Tweede Kamer’), and in recent years there have been drastic cuts in the budgets of many local audit offices. The development of local audit offices nationally is therefore strongly determined by politics. Partly for this reason, it is wise to look beyond national borders and gain insight into the development and position of the local audit institutions in other European countries. It is striking that the majority of the regional European audit offices are not only considerably larger and perform more tasks – in addition to performance audits, they also audit the annual accounts – but also that there are considerably fewer decentralized audit offices per country. In addition, there are major differences in powers. For example, regional audit offices in France can in some cases impose fines and take certain cases to court. Despite the large differences, however, there are also many similarities between the various European decentralized audit institutions. For example, all audit offices conduct performance audits and independence is almost always properly guaranteed by law. The article concludes with a plea for the Dutch situation to be somewhat more in line with the development of the European decentralized audit institutions.

O texto está inscrito no contexto da 1ª Marcha das Mulheres indígenas, ocorrida em agosto de 2019, na cidade de Brasília/DF, e se propõe uma análise crítica decolonial à violência de gênero e étnica que as mulheres indígenas experienciam. Analisa discursos construídos por mídias tradicionais e alternativas, bem como, entrevistas dadas por mulheres indígenas que participaram desse movimento. A Marcha foi o local que promoveu uma fissura, que está aberta, e revela a fortaleza das mulheres indígenas como um dos principais movimentos sociais que questionam e mantem a crítica, elementos essenciais para a democracia.
Utopia balneária no Rio Grande do Sul: o mar como refúgio na modernidade
Authors: Schossler Joana Carolina 
Published: May 2021

Nas últimas décadas do século XIX, o surgimento de balneários na costa atlântica do Rio Grande do Sul favoreceu a prática do veraneio, cujas finalidades terapêuticas eram prescritas pela medicina à época. Contudo, tal prática ganhou outros significados durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, quando a industrialização e a urbanização pautaram um novo “viver nas cidades”. De modo concomitante, o planejamento de balneários marítimos significava a projeção de um espaço social livre dos problemas urbanos, representando, assim, uma utopia em pequena escala e por um curto período como o verão. Por meio da análise da bibliografia especializada, de fotografias, da revista impressa A Gaivota e de outras fontes sobre a história do litoral, esse artigo pretende mostrar como as praias do Rio Grande do Sul constituíram um refúgio na modernidade, quando, entre as décadas de 1920 e 1950, a vida junto ao mar representava para o imaginário social uma utopia balneária, por seu ideal de uma vida melhor.
“… al estilo de Inglaterra según la última moda”. Figurines ingleses. Edición para España 1824-25 de Rudolph Ackermann
Authors: Pérez Sánchez Manuel , López Castillo José Miguel 
Published: May 2021

Desde el último tercio del siglo XVIII, las estampas de figurines relacionadas directamente con la apariencia, el gusto y la moda, difundidas desde la prensa, tienen en España una especial significación a la hora de orientar a las élites urbanas e ilustradas. Se trataba, en definitiva, de estar al día de las novedades y adelantos que se producían en todos aquellos objetos y elementos destinados a priorizar el estatus y la elegancia conforme a los dictados que se gestaban en las grandes capitales europeas que marcaban las pautas de la distinción. Londres y lo inglés, junto a los figurines parisinos, comenzó a formar parte de los criterios estéticos de la alta sociedad española, que participó a través de la elección de lo británico como símbolo de una nueva modernidad. Buen ejemplo de ello es el volumen de grabados, editados por la Casa Ackermann, bajo el título Figurines ingleses. Edición para España 1824-25, que se analiza en este estudio.
Fortuna artística de una célebre pintura de Francisco Ribalta
Authors: Catalá Gorgues Miguel Angel 
Published: May 2021

El presente trabajo, al poner en valor el famoso San Bruno de Ribalta expuesto en el Museo de Bellas Artes y procedente de la Cartuja de Porta Coeli, subraya la incidencia de la imagen conceptual de esta pintura en otras obras posteriores. Entre ellas la escultura de I. Vergara de la capilla de la Universidad, la estampa debida a Vicente López para ser grabada por Vicente Capilla, así como el lienzo de San Bruno, existente en el Múseo de de la Ciudad, que presidió la capilla a él dedicada en la misma cartuja. Para la determinación de la autoría de este cuadro a favor de Vicente Castelló y Amat ha resultado clave verificar la correspondencia con el boceto perteneciente al Museo Lázaro Galdiano, adquirido, con otros veinticinco, a los herederos del pintor. Tambien se ha podido constatar, documentalmente, otros encargos realizados por dicho Castelló y Amat para la citada cartuja, lo que permite asegurar asimismo ser éste el autor del fresco de dicha capilla de San Bruno. Tributario de la tabla de Ribalta, así como de la estampa de López, y por tanto, del lienzo de Castelló y Amat, resulta ser también un interesante cuadro de F. Mártinez Yago prácticamente desconocido.

Aim: To study the incidence of HbA1c elevation in patients with ischemic stroke whose blood glucose levels were normal within the last six months.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration: This cross-sectional study of the 96 patients with cerebral ischemic disease selected from the internal medicine department of Bilawal medical college Hospital Kotri, Sindh, Pakistan for one-year duration from August 2019 to August 2020.
Methods: Crossectional study was conducted in the internal medicinal department of Bilawal Medical college Hospital, Kotri Sindh, Pakistan for the period of one year from August 2019 to August 2020. Total 96 study subjects were selected with cerebral ischemic disease, 62 were males and 34 were females. Many factors such as age more than 20 years, ischemic stroke and RBG (Random Blood Glucose) were also evaluated from each participant. SPSS 23.00 version was used for statistical analysis of research data.
Results: 57.01 ± 13.4 years was the mean age of the patients. 62 (64.6%) patients were male and 34 (35.4%) were female. The male to female ratio was 2:1. HbA1c was elevated in 35 (36.5%) of 96 patients, while 61 (63.5%) had normal HbA1c. The distribution of HbA1c elevation by gender showed that 20 (57.1%) patients with elevated HbA1c were men and 15 (42.9%) were women. Forty-three (70.5%) of 61 patients with normal HbA1c were male and 18 (29.5%) were female.
Conclusion: it was concluded that glycated haemoglobin plays an important role for reducing the macro complication of Diabetes and the major macro complication observed was cerebral ischemic stroke among the people with elevated HbA1c.

Quality management re‐visited: a reflective review and agenda for future research
Authors: Sousa Rui , Voss Christopher A 
Published: July 2002

AbstractQuality management (QM) has become an all‐pervasive management philosophy, finding its way into most sectors of today’s business society. After the initial hype and enthusiasm, it is time to take stock of the knowledge accumulated in what is now a mature field of study and look for directions to take the field further forward. This article reflects on the mass of literature in the field, synthesizing, organizing and structuring knowledge and offering suggestions for future research. It reviews QM research organized along five main themes: the definition of QM, the definition of product quality, the impact of QM on firm performance, QM in the context of management theory and the implementation of QM. The article draws on these themes to reflect on three questions which are fundamental to re‐visit and re‐appraise QM: (i) What is QM? (ii) Is the set of practices associated with QM valid as a whole? (iii) How to implement QM in a real business setting?
Neuronal changes in the basolateral complex during development of the amygdala of the rat

Published: July 2002

AbstractNeuronal changes in the amygdala basolateral complex were studied during development and maturation in fetal and postnatal rat brains using morphometrical methods. Forty brains of animals of various ages were fixed in formalin, frozen and cut into 25 μm thick sections and stained with cresyl violet or haematoxylin and eosin (H&E). In cresyl violet preparations, the complex appeared for the first time on embryonic day (E)17 and was composed of two homogeneous nuclei—lateral and basolateral. On about the seventh postnatal day, each of these nuclei was divided into two parts—the first one into the dorsolateral and ventromedial and the second one into the anterior and posterior. Morphometric investigations showed a different increase of the neuronal and nuclear size in various parts of the basolateral complex up to postnatal day (P)14; after that time these parameters did not change significantly. The neuronal density and the total number of neurons stabilized at P7 in all parts of this complex, except for the dorsolateral part of the lateral nucleus in which a 30% decrease of the total number of cells was observed. From P14, in all nuclei under study, the total number of neurons did not change significantly.
Perceptions of the real and the ideal ward atmosphere among trainees and staff before and after the introduction of a new work rehabilitation model
Authors: Eklund M. , Hansson L. 
Published: July 2002

SummaryChanges in the ward atmosphere of a psychiatric work rehabilitation unit were investigated. Both trainees and staff filled in the Community-Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES) before and after a new rehabilitation model was implemented. It was hypothesised that the levels of autonomy and practical orientation would increase from both the trainees’ and staff’s perspective concerning the real ward atmosphere and that the staff’s perceptions of an ideal ward atmosphere would change in the same way. The staff perceived an increased level of autonomy with respect to both the real ward atmosphere and to what constitutes an ideal ward atmosphere, which partly confirmed the hypotheses, but the level of practical orientation was stable. Concerning the staff’s estimate of an ideal ward atmosphere, further changes were an increased level of involvement and a decrease in spontaneity, which was not hypothesised, but was not in conflict with the philosophy behind the new model. From the trainee’s perspective there was no change of either autonomy or practical orientation. Instead, there was a decrease in personal problem orientation. Compared to an optimal profile, the ward atmosphere was beneficial, before as well as after implementation of the new programme. Differences were found between the staff and the trainees, but they were not large enough to separate the groups according to what is considered an optimal profile. The few changes found support earlier conclusions that the ward atmosphere is a stable phenomenon over time.
Personality traits in treated Wilson’s disease determined by means of the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP)

Published: July 2002

SummaryObjectiveThe aim was to elucidate the personality traits of patients with treated Wilsonˈs disease (WD) in comparison to healthy volunteers.MethodTwenty-five WD patients, ten females and 15 males, with a mean age of 35.2 ± 8.3 years completed the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP), a self-report inventory comprising 15 separate scales. The results were compared to a control series comprising 200 men and 200 women drawn from the general population.ResultsThe patients with treated WD scored significantly lower than the healthy controls on aggressivity-hostility-related scales and the scale measuring Psychic Anxiety. Patients with predominantly hepatic symptoms had the lowest aggressivity-related scores and patients with predominantly neurological symptoms had the lowest Irritability, Guilt and Detachment scores and the highest Impulsiveness and Muscular Tension scores. Both groups scored low on the Somatic Anxiety scale.ConclusionThe present results illustrate that patients with treated WD have significant deviations in personality traits, especially in aggressivity-hostility-related scales and Psychic Anxiety, compared to healthy controls when investigated by means of a self-report inventory, the KSP. The deviations were not related to age, age at onset or duration of the disease.
Does the January effect exist in high‐yield bond market?
Authors: Al‐Khazali Osamah M 
Published: July 2002

AbstractPrevious studies show that January returns in high‐yield bond (HYB) markets are usually large. While these results are ubiquitous, their validity depends on the robustness of statistical procedures used. Virtually every study of seasonal variation in HYB markets has used mean/variance analysis despite it being well documented that returns in HYB markets are nonnormally distributed. This study uses stochastic dominance comparisons to audit previous parametric tests of the January effect in HYB markets in the U.S. from 1926 to 1993. Results indicate that the January effect in HYB markets is robust and that previous findings are not an artifact deriving from violations of distributional assumptions.
