Recent Debate

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apoiar o debate recente sobre competitividade regional, com destaque à identificação de elementos chaves da competitividade sistêmica que possam orientar a formulação de políticas públicas e institucionais de desenvolvimento para a Região Metropolitana de Curitiba. A matriz de vantagens competitivas sistêmicas coloca-se como um instrumento analítico que permite uma avaliação rápida, sintética e objetiva da competitividade sistêmica regional, relevante para o apoio ao planejamento regional integrado. Para tanto se propõe, inicialmente, uma revisão teórica do debate sobre competitividade regional, enfatizando as novas vantagens competitivas locais, as economias de aglomeração, de aprendizado por interação e eficiência coletiva. A intenção, nesta primeira parte, é ressaltar os elementos (direcionadores e subfatores) que serão considerados na matriz, fornecendo ao aporte analítico um marco teórico mais consistente. Na seqüência, é apresentada a metodologia e a construção da matriz de vantagens competitivas sistêmicas, tomando como referência a Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, o que permite sustentar os destaques positivos e as questões mais críticas da competitividade sistêmica desta região. Abstract This essay aims at supporting the recent debate about regional competitiveness. It highlights the identification of key elements of systemic competitiveness that may guide the formulation of public and institutional development policies for the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. The matrix of systemic competitive advantages appears as an analytical instrument for a quick, concise and objective analysis of regional systemic competitiveness, which is relevant to support the integrated regional planning. First it proposes a theoretical review of the debate about regional competitiveness, emphasizing new local competitive advantages, economies of agglomerations, of learning through integration and of collective efficiency. It is intended, in the first part, to point out the elements considered by the matrix (directional and sub-factors), providing a consistent theoretical mark to the analytical approach. Next the methodology and the construction of the systemic competitive advantages are presented, having the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba as reference, making it possible to sustain the main positive points and the most crucial matters of systemic competitiveness of this region.

Introduction: Socioeconomic and ethnic background have been discussed as possible risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infections in children. Improved knowledge could lead way to tailored prevention strategies and help to improve infection control. Methods: Observational population-based cohort study in children (6mo. - 18 ys.) scheduled for legally required preventive examination and their parents in a metropolitan region in Germany. Primary endpoint was the SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion rate during study period. Risk factors assessed included age, pre-existing medical conditions, socioeconomic factors, and ethnicity. Results: 2124 children and their parents were included. Seroconversion rates among children in all age groups increased by 3-4-fold from 06/2020 to 02/2021. Only 41% of seropositive children were symptomatic. In 51% of infected children at least one parent was also SARS-CoV-2 positive. Low level of parental education (OR 3.13 (0.72-13.69)) significantly increased the risk of infection. Of the total cohort, 38.5% had a migration background. Specifically, 9% were of Turkish and 5% of Middle Eastern origin. These children had the highest risk for SARS-CoV-2 infections (OR 6.24 (1.38-28.12) and 6.44 (1.14-36.45) after adjustment for other risk factors. Discussion: Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in children increased by 3-4-fold within the study period. Frequently, more than one family member was infected. Children from families with lower socioeconomic status were at higher risk. The highest risk for SARS- CoV-2 infection was identified in families with Turkish or Middle Eastern background. Culture sensitive approaches are essential to improve infection control and serve as a blueprint for vaccination strategies in this population.

Rigorous Method

After many years of clinical practice, research and the teaching of projective tests, Shentoub and her colleagues (Debray, Brelet, Chabert & al.) put forward an original and rigorous method of analysis and interpretation of the TAT protocols in terms of psychoanalysis and clinical psychopathology. They developed the TAT process theory in order to understand how the subject builds a narrative. Our article will emphasize the source of the analytical approach developed by V. Shentoub in the 1950s to current research; the necessity of marking the boundary between the manifest and latent content in the cards; the procedure for analyzing the narrative, supported by an analysis sheet for understanding the stories' structure and identifying the defense mechanisms; and how developing hypotheses about how the mental functions are organized, as well as their potential psychopathological characteristics; and the formulation of a diagnosis in psychodynamic terms. In conjunction with the analysis and interpretation of the Rorschach test, this approach allows us to develop an overview of the subject's mental functioning, taking into account both the psychopathological elements that may threaten the subject and the potential for a therapeutic process. We will illustrate this by comparing neurotic, borderline, and psychotic personalities.

Legislative Processes

The concept of citizenship was introduced to the Arab and Islamic region duringthe colonial period. The law of citizenship, like all other laws and regulations inthe Middle East, was influenced by the colonial legacy that impacted the tribal and paternalistic systems in all aspects of life. In addition to the colonial legacy, most constitutions in the Middle East draw on the Islamic shari’a (law) as a major source of legislation, which in turn enhances the paternalistic system in the social sector in all its dimensions, as manifested in many individual laws and the legislative processes with respect to family status issues. Family is considered the nucleus of society in most Middle Eastern countries, and this is specifically reflected in the personal status codes. In the name of this legal principle, women’s submission is being entrenched, along with censorship over her body, control of her reproductive role, sexual life, and fertility.

Relevance of the study. The article studies recently found symphony of the prominent Ukrainian composer of the second half of the eighteenth century Maxim Berezovsky. He is widely known now as the author of cyclic spiritual concerts written for the Orthodox worship, and is practically unknown as a musician instrumentalist associated with the imperial theater and the court musical life. The work of M. Berezovsky as a secular musician determined the creative interest in composing instrumental music intended for secular chamber and orchestral music. Main objective of the article is a clarification of M.Berezovsky symphony as one of secular field artworks in the light of new summaries about artist’s life-creativity. Methodology. Taking into account peculiarities of the material and the analytical approach to its study, the methods of theoretical research have been chosen(abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, mental modeling, ascension from abstract to concrete, etc.). Conclusions. As a result of a study the symphony analysis in a context of new authentic statements about M.Berezovsky’s life-creativity. It was stated that this artwork was written not accidentally and detects absolute awareness of the artist in all composer’s niceties – how to build a topic and build a homophonic construction based on it, in a technique of orchestral construction, form creations of that time and etc. From the beginning of his creative career, M. Berezovsky was well aware of the possibilities of the orchestra as a performer, attached to the Italian opera and instrumental music. Symphony enriches our imagination about the works of M. Berezovsky in the field of secular instrumental and operatic music and extends the range of works of the artist beyond the spiritual direction. Some signs indicate that the Symphony was not an independent work, but an overture to the opera Demofont.
