Authors: Kutcyi M. B. , Altshuler N. E. , Parinov O. V. , Popugaev K. A. 
Published: July 2024

Objective. To study the effect of therapy for adrenal and thyroid dysfunction on the course and outcomes of critical care. Materials and methods. 51 patients requiring targeted temperature management (ТТМ) were included in a single-center prospective cohort study. Results. Group I (with adrenal and thyroid dysfunction) included 39 (76,5%) patients on TTM, group II (without adrenal and thyroid dysfunction ) included 12 (23,5%) patients without endocrinopathies. In patients on TTM, adrenal dysfunction developed on day (D) 0 and manifested only clinically in the form of vascular insufficiency. When evaluating clinical and laboratory data in patients at TTM, thyroid dysfunction was diagnosed at D1, D2, and D3. The manifestation of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction in patients at is primarily due to central nervous system injury rather than sepsis. Treatment of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction was performed with hydrocortisone and levothyroxine. Conclusion. Formation of combination of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction at TTM leads to the development of multiple organ dysfunction not associated with the development of septic complications. Timely diagnosis and adequate correction of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction in patients undergoing critical illness and requiring TTM allows to reliably reduce mortality.
Attending to Illness Metaphors
Authors: Hart Ryan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Critiques such as Susan Sontag’s Illness as Metaphor have encouraged the renunciation of metaphorical thinking about illness. This article suggests a level of discernment toward implicit interpretations of illness instead of an all-or-nothing removal of metaphor from the rhetoric surrounding illness. Rather than doing away with metaphorical thinking about illness in a total and absolute sense, the article reflects on illness metaphors to explore what insight they may have to impart about lived experiences of illness. With the help of literary expressions in Camus’s The Plague, the article depicts ways that through a discerning attitude toward metaphorical thinking on illness, an elemental affirmation of being within the necessary limits on the human condition is given space to breathe.
OS EMPREENDIMENTOS DA MRV ENGENHARIA NA CIDADE DE UBERLÂNDIA-MG E AS TRANSFORMAÇÕES NA MORFOLOGIA URBANA
Authors: Freitas Oracilda Aparecida de , Ramires Julio Cesar de Lima 
Published: July 2024

O objetivo central deste estudo é identificar as implicações na morfologia urbana no entorno dos 11 empreendimentos da MRV que foram entregues no período de 2016 a 2021 em Uberlândia/MG. Os procedimentos metodológicos consistiram em levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema, trabalho de campo in loco para verificar processo de edificação dos prédios, análise das modificações no espaço das imagens de localização pesquisadas no Google Earth no período compreendido entre 2007 e 2022. Constatou-se que a MRV tem papel importante na expansão urbana de Uberlândia devido a mudanças nas paisagens urbano-naturais. Os empreendimentos analisados começaram a ser entregues aos moradores a partir de 2018, e esse espaço de tempo foi limitado, tendo vista a necesidade de se ter um maior tempo de maturação desses empreendimentos na paisagem urbana para ver os seus reais efeitos. A utilização do aplicativo Google Earth se mostrou adequado nas tarefas de comparação da morfologia urbana em dois momentos distintos, evidenciando as novas forma geográficas criada neste recorte temporal. Mesmo com a presença de condomínios verticais na cidade, percebe-se pouco investimento do poder público em infraestrutura urbana, ou seja, instalações de equipamentos urbanos (postos de saúde, escolas, creches e áreas de lazer) para moradores tanto do entorno quanto dos imóveis da construtora. Espera-se que este artigo possa aprofundar a discussão sobre o papel das grandes empresas de construção civil e a problemática urbana no contexto das cidades médias, evitando-se que muitos problemas observados nas grandes metrópoles de repitam da mesma forma, nessas cidades.
Свобода выбора в монетарном поведении
Authors: Маричева Мария , Петровский Вадим 
Published: July 2024

Настоящая работа посвящена субъективной ценности денег как условию свободного выбора покупателем доступных ему товаров и услуг. Предполагается, что свойственные деньгам беспрепятственность и многовариантость возможных обменов представляют собой в глазах обладателя особую ценность. Таким образом, формулируется гипотеза: деньги заключают в себе овеществленную возможность свободного выбора, поддающуюся эмпирическому измерению. На основе совместно разработанной авторами методики «Деньги – товар – дельта» была предпринята попытка зафиксировать гипотетическую разницу между субъективной ценностью денег и средней ценой товаров, приобретаемых на эти деньги. Эта разница обозначается нами буквой «дельта» (Δ) и описывается как надбавочная стоимость денег, указывающая на ценность свободы выбора товара из многих. В результате исследования выделяются четыре группы испытуемых, которые различаются в зависимости от выбора «товар или деньги». Анализ детерминант добавочной ценности денег представляет интерес для дальнейших исследований.
Print No Border
Authors: Bortoloni Laura 
Published: July 2024

As borders gradually open up once again, the consequences of the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic are casting light on the renewed importance of regional and national borders. This is also true of European national borders – which had already been tested by the intensification of migratory flows and populist impulses – now in the process of becoming unwilling symbols of the restrictions ushered in by the pandemic. Closed for months, or at the very least made difficult to get through by health-related restrictions, the internal EU national borders that European peoples were coming to think of as a thing of the past were, quite suddenly, extremely concrete once again. This is a process that has been brought even more dramatically to the fore by the tragedy of the war in Ukraine.
From the starting point of these premises, the Print no border project explored the border and frontier concepts via xylographic practice, juxtaposing, stratifying, and comparing the geographical representation of boundaries with images borrowed from nature and the man-made elements that boundaries cut through.
The European Commission: Ami Fidèle or Faux Ami? Exploring the Commission’s Role as Amicus Curiae in ICSID Proceedings
Authors: Leventhal Alexander G. , Shreedhar Akshay 
Published: July 2024

ICSID’s Rule 37(2) introduced into the ICSID system a process by which a
non-disputing party may make submissions as an amicus curiae. While
amicus submissions have existed in the ICSID system for nearly 20 years, the
majority of Rule 37(2) applications have been filed only recently by one party
– the EU Commission – on one issue – the applicability of the arbitration
agreements in intra-EU BITs. In this article, we explore how tribunals and ad
hoc committees have addressed these applications, which do not seek to provide
insight on a particular issue in relation to the merits (as past amicus have),
but to strip the ICSID process of jurisdiction over all intra-EU BIT disputes.

Published: July 2024

Las políticas públicas en salud suelen ser planificadas generalizando colectivos y, en muchas ocasiones, idealizando poblaciones a ser intervenidas. Sin embargo, las perspectivas macro encuentran sus límites al ser interpeladas por personas que no se ajustan a los criterios establecidos desde los centros de poder. Aún más cuando se trata de colectivos que atraviesan de manera constante o intermitente periodos de vulnerabilidad. Particularmente las poblaciones interceptadas por categorías de géneros/sexualidades disidentes y clases sociales marginalizadas. En el norte de la Argentina, en una ciudad del interior de la provincia de Salta, analizamos como se producen, y si se producen, estas articulaciones entre las políticas públicas en salud y los microuniversos de las personas que habitan ese espacio. Nos valemos para ello de un enfoque etnográfico junto con una perspectiva interseccional que combinan diferentes técnicas en campo. Concluimos que debe haber una mayor articulación entre las dimensiones macro y micro analizadas cuando se trata de pensar políticas públicas en salud.

ABSTRACTA previous randomized, controlled trial of tai chi showed improvements in objectively measured balance and other motor‐related outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease. This study evaluated whether patient‐reported outcomes could be improved through exercise interventions and whether improvements were associated with clinical outcomes and exercise adherence. In a secondary analysis of the tai chi trial, patient‐reported and clinical outcomes and exercise adherence measures were compared between tai chi and resistance training and between tai chi and stretching exercise. Patient‐reported outcome measures were perceptions of health‐related benefits resulting from participation, assessed by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ‐8) and Vitality Plus Scale (VPS). Clinical outcome measures included motor symptoms, assessed by a modified Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale–Motor Examination (UPDRS‐ME) and a 50‐foot speed walk. Information on continuing exercise after the structured interventions were terminated was obtained at a 3‐month postintervention follow‐up. Tai chi participants reported significantly better improvement in the PDQ‐8 (−5.77 points, P = 0.014) than did resistance training participants and in PDQ‐8 (−9.56 points, P < 0.001) and VPS (2.80 points, P = 0.003) than did stretching participants. For tai chi, patient‐reported improvement in the PDQ‐8 and VPS was significantly correlated with their clinical outcomes of UPDRS‐ME and a 50‐foot walk, but these correlations were not statistically different from those shown for resistance training or stretching. However, patient‐reported outcomes from tai chi training were associated with greater probability of continued exercise behavior than were either clinical outcomes or patient‐reported outcomes from resistance training or stretching. Tai chi improved patient‐reported perceptions of health‐related benefits, which were found to be associated with a greater probability of exercise adherence. The findings indicate the potential of patient perceptions to drive exercise behavior after structured exercise programs are completed and the value of strengthening such perceptions in any behavioral intervention.
Surviving Scandal: The Institutional and Political Dynamics of National and State Executive Scandals
Authors: Rottinghaus Brandon 
Published: December 2013

AbstractWhich factors shorten or lengthen the survival of a scandal involving a chief executive? Using new data tracking scandals involving presidents and governors from 1972 to 2011, I chart the duration of each political, personal, and financial scandal faced by an elected official, their staff, or nominees. I specifically examine institutional, political, and economic factors to investigate what factors quicken a “negative” end to a scandal. National chief executives and their staff are more likely to survive a scandal when they have more partisans in the legislature but are less likely when there is greater political opposition, however there is no comparative effect at the state level. Positive economic growth and public approval have no effect on survival of a scandal at either the national or state levels. These findings clarify how the political environment shapes the duration of executive scandal.
Blogging Identities on Israel/Palestine: Public Intellectuals and Their Audiences
Authors: Sucharov Mira , Sasley Brent E. 
Published: December 2013

AbstractDrawing on our research and blogging on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we make three claims about the role of scholar-bloggers in the social media age. First, as scholar-bloggers with some degree of ethno-national attachments related to our area of expertise, we contend that we are well positioned to issue the kinds of critiques that may resonate more deeply due to the very subjectivity that some perceive as a liability. Second, through the melding of scholarly arguments with popular writing forms, scholar-bloggers are uniquely poised to be at the forefront of public engagement and political literacy both with social media publics and with students. Third, the subjectivity hazard is an intrinsic part of any type of research and writing, whether that writing is aimed at a scholarly audience or any other, and should not be used as an argument against academic involvement in social media. Ultimately, subjectivities of both consumers and producers can evolve through these highly interactive media, a dynamic that deserves further examination.
