Porodični odnosi i funkcije socijalno ugroženih porodica – studija slučaja
Authors: Stojšin Snežana S. 
Published: January 2018

Summary
Family relations and the functions of
socially endangered families – a case study

The basic hypothesis of this research indicates the existence of the differences in the relations and family functions in socially endangered families in comparison with the theoretically established relations and functions in the majority of families in the contemporary Serbian society. The framework for studying this problem was the method of case study and reliance on a large number of sources of data such as deep interviews, documents of the Social Services of the town of Novi Sad, the informants’ letters, interviews with social workers, reports of people in charge of cases, statistical data etc.
The paper analyzes seven different socially endangered families, their life histories and ways of establishing family functions.
The research shows that family functions were not fully accomplished and that some functions did not exist at all. These are most frequently the economic function and the function of child protection. Economic inactivity, reliance on social welfare and occasional participation in grey economy are characteristic for the majority of socially endangered families.
Not performing economic function greatly affects not performing in other family functions as well. The research has indicated that different patterns of behaviour and not performing functions are surely a result of the constant reliance on the programmes of social welfare of socially endangered families. These programmes in no way represent a permanent solution of existential problems of socially endangered families, which is the greatest misconception of the users of these programmes. Contrary to general beliefs, they influence the passivization of family members and prevent changes in distancing from poverty culture. The examples of families who “solved” their financial problems indicate that economic factors are in the majority of cases crucial for normal functioning of families. It seems that solving financial problems represents an incentive for performing other family functions.

Key words: family functions, poverty, socially endangered, method of case study, qualitative research.
Machado de Assis: do folhetim ao livro, de Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva
Authors: Tatim Janaína 
Published: January 2018

Nas duas últimas décadas propaga-se no Brasil um viés de estudo da literatura embasado na pesquisa da materialidade das condições de produção dos textos e dos meios pelos quais circulam. As preocupações deste viés de estudo se expressam, por exemplo, no interesse sobre as relações determinantes entre gênero textual e suporte de publicação, entre autor e seu meio editorial, entre o âmbito da recepção e as escolhas textuais. Trata-se de uma abordagem acadêmica da literatura, direcionada ao público especializado, em geral com bases epistemológicas e metodológicas vinculadas a áreas atuais das ciências humanas, sobretudo as da história cultural e da história social.
Baudelaire l'irréductible, de Antoine Compagnon
Authors: Veras Eduardo Horta Nassif 
Published: January 2018

Baudelaire l’irréductible (2014) é o segundo livro de Antoine Compagnon inteiramente dedicado ao poeta francês, após Baudelaire devant l’innombrable (2003), e vem para consolidar o crítico belga e professor do Collège de France como um dos principais nomes dos estudos baudelairianos atualmente. Fundamentado numa vasta pesquisa de arquivos e num conhecimento enciclopédico sobre a obra de Baudelaire e sobre o século XIX, o livro insere-se também no contexto de uma reflexão mais ampla sobre a modernidade artística e literária que perpassa praticamente toda a trajetória intelectual de Compagnon, desde o conhecido livro sobre os paradoxos da modernidade – Les Cinq paradoxes de la modernité (1990) – até o livro que apresenta o seu conceito de “antimodernidade” – Les Antimodernes: de Joseph de Maistre à Roland Barthes (2005) –, obras nas quais Baudelaire desempenha também um papel bastante central, diga-se de passagem.
Does Perioperative Hemoglobin A1c Level Affect the Incidence, Pattern and Mortality of Lower Extremity Amputation?
Authors: Al-Thani Hassan , El-Matbouly Moamena , Al-Sulaiti Maryam , Al-Thani Noora , Asim Mohammad , El-Menyar Ayman 
Published: January 2018

Background:
We hypothesized that perioperative HbA1c influenced the pattern and outcomes
of Lower Extremity Amputation (LEA).

Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted for all patients who underwent LEA between 2000
and 2013. Patients were categorized into 5 groups according to their perioperative HbA1c values [Group
1 (<6.5%), Group 2 (6.5-7.4%), Group 3 (7.5-8.4%), Group 4 (8.5-9.4%) and Group 5 (≥9.5%)]. We
identified 848 patients with LEA; perioperative HbA1c levels were available in 547 cases (Group 1:
18.8%, Group 2: 17.7%, Group 3: 15.0%, Group 4: 13.5% and Group 5: 34.9%). Major amputation was
performed in 35%, 32%, 22%, 10.8% and 13.6%, respectively.

Results:
The overall mortality was 36.5%; of that one quarter occurred during the index hospitalization.
Mortality was higher in Group 1 (57.4%) compared with Groups 2-5 (46.9%, 38.3%, 36.1% and 31.2%,
respectively, p=0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that poor glycemic control (Group 4 and 5) had
lower risk of mortality post-LEA [hazard ratio 0.57 (95% CI 0.35-0.93) and hazard ratio 0.46 (95% CI
0.31-0.69)]; this mortality risk persisted even after adjustment for age and sex but was statistically insignificant.
The rate of LEA was greater among poor glycemic control patients; however, the mortality
was higher among patients with tight control.

Conclusion:
The effects of HbA1c on the immediate and long-term LEA outcomes and its therapeutic
implications need further investigation.

Authors: Nhidza Godwell , Mutsaka Kudzaishe , Malunga Garikai , Zhou Danai Tavonga 
Published: January 2018

Introduction:According to the WHO, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) means glucose intolerance with onset during pregnancy. Unfortunately, women affected by GDM could suffer from Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) later while babies born to mothers with GDM are at increased risk of being too large for gestational age. This cross-sectional study screened GDM in women attending Parirenyatwa Antenatal Clinic in urban Harare, Zimbabwe using 2006 WHO diagnostic criteria.Methodology:Urine samples were collected from all consenting pregnant women. If urinalysis indicated glycosuria and if a woman reported clinical symptoms of GDM, random blood sugar analysis was subsequently carried out. Those suspected of having GDM due to elevated glucose (n=17) were screened with glucose load challenge the following day, after collecting the sample for fasting blood sugar. Family history of diabetes was self-reported.Results:Women (N=150), between 24 – 28 weeks of gestation who consented were recruited. Participants had mean age 27.2(3.5) years and about half were gradiva 1. All participants reported no maternal history of T2DM, but reported other family history of T2DM. Out of the 150 recruited and 17 tested by OGTT, 10 (6.7%) tested positive for GDM.Conclusion:Prevalence of GDM is lower than two similar African studies but similar to one Indian study. Of note is the fact that variations in reported prevalence, in populations from different studies could be due to different diagnostic criteria used. Results need further enquiry on larger group of pregnant women using latest 2013 WHO criteria.

Como resultado, destacase a representação em mídia de forma ridicularizada, desrespeitosa, considerando a pessoa com deficiência como irresponsável, desatenta, fora do padrão social, não inteligente, agressiva, frívola, dentre outros.
Administrative Review and the “Normative” Goal—Is Anybody Out There?
Authors: Fleming Gabriel 
Published: January 2018

It is often claimed that, in addition to arriving at the “correct or preferable” decision in the individual case, a primary objective of an administrative review system is to have a “normative” influence on government decision-making. As the Federal government has made a commitment to the overhaul of the administrative review system, it is timely to question the significant normative achievements which have been claimed over the past two decades of codified administrative review rights in Australia.The first part of this article outlines the theoretical and practical foundations of the normative goal and the changing influences upon it. It attempts to unpack the concept and consider some of its claims. Is it, for example, realistic in the context of the dynamics of government administration, to continue to claim the “normative effect” as a goal of administrative review? Is the administration responsive to review? Is there evidence of administrative law “values” in the culture and processes of the administration?
“It is Trite and Ancient Law”: The High Court and the Use of the Obvious
Authors: Haigh Richard 
Published: January 2018

To be trite is to be worn out by constant use or repetition, or to be hackneyed or commonplace. The word “trite” is derived from the Latin word terere meaning essentially “to rub”. Thus, the word has physical associations, as if a trite remark actually erases its own origins because they are of no use anymore. Obviously the more used something is, the more trite it becomes, or so one would expect. There is even a built-in pejorative connotation, as to overuse a phrase, or resort to trite propositions can, in some cases, “rub” the listener the wrong way.Since the very humble beginnings of the common law courts, judges have identified law that is trite. In the 15th century, Chief Justice Brian, in a case known only as T Pasch's case, said, in words that have since rung down the centuries:Moreover…your having it in your own mind is nothing, for it is trite law that the thought of man is not triable, for even the devil does not know what the thought of man is.
Sexual Harassment and the Corporation in Australia and Japan: The Potential for Corporate Governance of Human Rights
Authors: Parker Christine , Wolff Leon 
Published: January 2018

Corporations are undergoing a subtle transformation. Usually regarded as investment vehicles for shareholders, corporations are now assuming an additional identity–as entities which share responsibility for upholding human rights. This new identity does not sit comfortably with conventional wisdom on corporate governance. Traditional corporate governance theory, based on nineteenth century notions of trust, posits that ‘the company’ is a legal entity embodying the members from time to time. Directors, as trustees of corporate assets, owe duties to foster the interests of the shareholders by maximising their investments. Under this view, directors do not owe wider obligations to society.This traditional understanding, however, is beginning to yield to more recent legal and social pressures. Legal developments in regulatory practice, in combination with an upsurge in social movement activism, is now forcing corporations to accept that they are more than mere economic entities. They are also private ‘governments’–social and political entities with the ability to exercise general powers over themselves and, more importantly, over others.
ANALYSING TERTIARIZATION AS A STRUCTURAL ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTIC OF ESTABLISHING POST-INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AREAS
Authors: ПЕРЕПЁЛКИНА Елена , PEREPELKINA Elena , ПЕРЕПЁЛКИН Вячеслав , PEREPELKIN Vyacheslav 
Published: January 2018

The article examines conceptually and empirically tertiarisation as structural and economic characteristics of the transformation of modern society into a post-industrial. The authors substantiate the need for consistent fullfledged passage of the national socio-economic system of stages of civilizational development, based on which the author's definition of tertiaryization is given. A comparative cross-country quantitative analysis of the service sector in national economies makes it possible of strengthening the structural shift in favor of this sector in the economies of a group of countries with an average income level. High income level of the population is but one of the conditions for the existence of a developed service sector, as is confirmed by the example of a number of oil exporting countries. Along with poverty, the reason for the slow expansion of the service sector in the underdeveloped countries is their insufficient technological development. Russia lagged behind the global average level in the share of tertiary sector as well as in the rates of its growth. On the one hand, this is an evidence of the growth potential of the whole economy created by tertiarization, while, on the other hand, it speaks for a necessity of ensuring a higher quality of this growth.
Problems of service sector’s growth structure are becoming more relevant in the current circumstances. An increase in the quality together with the one in the rates of growth might be attained on the basis of an outpacing expansion of the share of services and progressive dynamics of labor productivity in the process of services creation. At the same time, this requires a large stock of human capital in the country, which substantiates a conclusion about presence of tertiarization in its true sense only in economically developed countries. A negative attitude towards tertiarization in less developed countries may be explained by the dominance of traditional services in the tertiary sector of their economies that have greatly lost a capacity for accelerating the overall economic growth by now. Consequently, countries, in which an extended reproduction of human capital is implemented according to the needs for modernization of the industrial apparatus in the economy, benefit from tertiarization in the first place.

OBJECTIVEThis study investigated whether preceding ethanol intake impairs glucose response to low-dose glucagon in individuals with type 1 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSThis was a randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled study in 12 insulin pump–treated individuals (median [interquartile range] age, 37 [31–51] years; HbA1c, 57 [51–59] mmol/mol or 7.3% [6.8–7.5]; and BMI, 23.9 [22–25] kg/m2). During two overnight study visits, a 6 p.m. dinner (1 g carbohydrates/kg) was served with diet drink (placebo) or diet drink and ethanol (0.8 g/kg). After 8–9 h, ethanol was estimated to be metabolized, and a subcutaneous (s.c.) insulin bolus was given to induce mild hypoglycemia. When plasma glucose (PG) was ≤3.9 mmol/L, 100 µg glucagon was given s.c., followed by another s.c. 100 µg glucagon 2 h later. Primary end point was incremental peak PG induced by the first glucagon bolus.RESULTSEthanol was undetectable before insulin administration at both visits. The insulin doses (mean ± SEM: 2.5 ± 0.4 vs. 2.7 ± 0.4 IU) to induce hypoglycemia (3.7 ± 0.1 vs. 3.9 ± 0.1 mmol/L) did not differ and caused similar insulin levels (28.3 ± 4.6 vs. 26.1 ± 4.0 mU/L) before glucagon administration on ethanol and placebo visits (all, P &gt; 0.05). The first glucagon bolus tended to cause lower incremental peak PG (2.0 ± 0.5 vs. 2.9 ± 0.3 mmol/L, P = 0.06), lower incremental area under the curve (87 ± 40 vs. 191 ± 37 mmol/L × min, P = 0.08), and lower 2-h PG level (3.6 ± 1.0 vs. 4.8 ± 0.4 mmol/L, P = 0.05) after ethanol compared with placebo. The second glucagon bolus had similar responses between visits, but PG remained 1.8 ± 0.7 mmol/L lower after ethanol compared with placebo.CONCLUSIONSThe ability of low-dose glucagon to treat mild hypoglycemia persisted with preceding ethanol intake, although it tended to be attenuated.

Evaluation of self-injurious behavior, food intake, fecal output, and thermal withdrawal latencies after injection of a high-concentration buprenorphine formulation in rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Authors: Allen Molly , Nietlisbach Nicole , Johnson Rebecca A. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of high-concentration buprenorphine (HCB) on self-injurious behavior, food intake, fecal output, and thermal withdrawal latencies in healthy rats.
ANIMALS 8 Sprague-Dawley rats.
PROCEDURES Rats received 4 SC treatments (HCB at 0.075, 0.15, or 0.30 mg/kg [HCB0.075, HCB0.15, and HCB0.30, respectively] or 5% dextrose solution [0.20 mL/kg]) in a randomized, crossover-design study. Self-injurious behavior was assessed for 8 hours after injection. Food intake and fecal output were assessed for predetermined periods before and after treatment and separated into 12-hour light and dark periods for further analysis. Withdrawal latencies were assessed before (time 0) and at predetermined times after injection. Data were compared among treatments and time points.
RESULTS Self-injurious behavior was observed up to 8 hours after injection for all HCB, but not dextrose, treatments. Preinjection food intake and fecal output amounts were similar among groups and higher during the dark period than during the light period. Food intake after all HCB treatments was higher during the light period and lower during the dark period, compared with preinjection results for the same treatments and with postinjection results for dextrose administration. Light-period fecal output was lower after HCB0.15 and HCB0.30 administration, compared with preinjection values for the same treatments and postinjection values for dextrose administration. Percentage change in withdrawal latency was significantly higher than that at time 0 (ie, 0%) for only 1 treatment (HCB0.30) at 1 time point (1 hour after injection).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although HCB0.30 produced a degree of thermal hypoalgesia in healthy rats, self-injurious behavior and alterations in food intake and fecal output were detected, potentially affecting clinical utility of the treatment.
Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of olfactory bulb angle and soft palate dimensions in brachycephalic and nonbrachycephalic dogs
Authors: Barker David A. , Rubiños Carlos , Taeymans Olivier , Demetriou Jackie L. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine from MRI measurements whether soft palate length (SPL) and thickness are correlated in dogs, evaluate the association between the olfactory bulb angle (OBA) and degree of brachycephalia, and determine the correlation between soft palate–epiglottis overlap and OBA in dogs.
ANIMALS 50 brachycephalic and 50 nonbrachycephalic client-owned dogs without abnormalities of the head.
PROCEDURES Medical records and archived midsagittal T2-weighted MRI images of brachycephalic and nonbrachycephalic dogs' heads were reviewed. Group assignment was based on breed. Data collected included weight, SPL and thickness, OBA, and the distance between the caudal extremity of the soft palate and the basihyoid. Soft palate length and thickness were adjusted on the basis of body weight.
RESULTS Brachycephalic dogs had significantly thicker soft palates and lower OBAs, compared with findings for nonbrachycephalic dogs. There was a significant negative correlation (r2 = 0.45) between OBA and soft palate thickness. The correlation between SPL and OBA was less profound (r2 = 0.09). The distance between the caudal extremity of the soft palate and the basihyoid was shorter in brachycephalic dogs than in nonbrachycephalic dogs. The percentage of epiglottis–soft palate overlap significantly decreased with increasing OBA (r2 = 0.31).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that MRI images can be consistently used to assess anatomic landmarks for measurement of SPL and thickness, OBA, and soft palate-to-epiglottis distance in brachycephalic and nonbrachycephalic dogs. The percentage of epiglottis–soft palate overlap was significantly greater in brachycephalic dogs and was correlated to the degree of brachycephalia.
