Complex Expression

Holy Week is one of the most important traditions in many parts of the world and a complex expression of cultural heritage. The main goal of this article is to explore which factors determine participation in Holy Week celebrations in the city of Palencia (Spain), measured through the number of processions attended. For this purpose, an econometric count data model is used. Variables included in the model not only reflect participants' sociodemographic features but other factors reflecting cultural capital, accumulated experience, and social aspects of the event. A distinction is drawn between three types of participants: brotherhood members, local residents, and visitors, among whom a survey was conducted to collect the information required. A total of 248 surveys were carried out among brotherhood members, 209 among local residents, and 259 among visitors. The results confirm the religious and social nature of this event, especially in the case of local participants. However, in the case of visitors, participation also depends on aspects reflecting the celebration's cultural and tourist dimension—such as visiting other religious and cultural attractions—suggesting the existence of specific tourism linked to the event. All of this suggests the need to manage the event, ensuring a balance is struck between the various stakeholders' interests and developing a tourist strategy that prioritizes public-private cooperation.

In 2020 the first record of Wolffia arrhiza was registered in Novosibirsk Region (West Siberia) in the floodplain lake. Wolffia arrhiza formed vast stands with an area of hundreds square meters and with high productivity. Besides monodominant communities, it was met as a component of the cenoses of such hydrophytes as Stratiotes aloides , Hydrocharis morsus-ranae , as well as of the helophyte communities formed by Typha latifolia and Eleocharis mamillata . According to local residents, the large stands of Wolffia was observed for some years, thus, most likely, the population winters safely at the latitude of Novosibirsk. The most likely source of Wolffia arrhiza appearance in the lake was a deliberate introduction from the aquarium. Although the probability of this plant entering to the lake from the waste water of the city septic tank of the Novosibirsk sewage waters also exists.

Jakarta was developed started from the coastline and gradually moved to the centre of the city which left the coastal area remain untouch. The development of Jakarta which only oriented on capitalism cause in a lack of public space for the community, which make public coping with the issues independently. The roads in the housing area and villages was used by local residents as a space to socialize with neighbors or a place to do activities. There are still lots of kampung remained in Muara Baru which located in North Jakarta, but not facilitated by public space and open space to accommodate the citizen’s need to socialize and do their activity, so they carried out those activities in the middle of the road or alley which can disturb the traffic and endangered other people’s lives.  This phenomenon indicates that the community's need for public space is very high and needs to be anticipated immediately in order to avoid environmental and social degradation. The purpose of this project is to become a linkage that connect people with the surrounding environment, as well as humans with other humans, while this project also help the economy and home industry businesses, which bring in money to help the economy of local citizens, and cause positive interactions, such as knowledge exchange and development in economic aspects. AbstrakPembangunan kota Jakarta awalnya dimulai dari area pinggir laut yang kemudian semakin berkembang ke pusat kota, seiring berlangsungnya pembangunan di pusat kota, daerah pinggir/pesisir mulai ditinggalkan dan tidak tersentuh. Pengembangan kota Jakarta yang hanya berorientasi pada kepentingan kapitalis juga mengakibatkan kurangnya ruang publik bagi masyarakat, sehingga  mengakibatkan masyarakat mengatasinya secara mandiri. Jalan-jalan di dalam perumahan hingga perkampungan yang difungsikan oleh warga setempat sebagai ruang untuk bersosialisasi dengan tetangga atau tempat melakukan aktivitas. Kawasan Muara Baru yang terletak di wilayah pesisir Jakarta bagian Utara, masih terdapat banyak area perkampungan, tetapi tidak difasilitasi oleh ruang publik atau ruang terbuka sehingga untuk melakukan kegiatan berinteraksi dan beraktivitas, dilakukan di jalan/lorong kecil didepan rumah, yang dapat mengganggu lalu lintas dan juga membahayakan keselamatan warga dan juga pengguna jalan. Fenomena ini menandakan bahwa kebutuhan masyarakat akan ruang publik sangat tinggi dan perlu segera diantisipasi agar tidak terjadi degradasi lingkungan dan sosial, sehingga tujuan dari proyek ini adalah sebagai linkage yang menggabungkan manusia dengan lingkungan di sekitarnya, serta manusia dengan manusia lainnya, selain itu juga untuk membantu perekonomian dan usaha industri rumahan, yang dapat dilakukan serta menghasilkan uang untuk membantu perekonomian warga, serta menimbulkan interaksi positif, seperti pertukaran ilmu dan pembangunan aspek ekonomi, yang ke depannya akan menghasilkan kemajuan pada kota Jakarta dengan aspek sosial dan ekonomi yang seimbang.

Knowledge of patients' views can contribute to the strengthening of health services. The aim of this study is to describe the patients' perception of a public oral health service, contributing to evaluations in health services. This is a qualitative study in which a focus group was conducted, with the participation of six patients of the oral health system in the city of Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, all with a minimum experience of three years of using the service. A theoretical model with dimensions aimed at assessing integrality and primary care services was used. In conducting the research, a semi-structured script was used. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The most representative categories for evaluating oral health actions in primary care are the health unit; the welcoming and its relation with the creation of the bond; service with a strong emphasis on the humanized relationship between professional and patient and on teamwork and; as a highlight, citizen participation, based on the recognition of a “system” that prevents the proper functioning of services and that must be fought with citizenship. Patients’ perceptions can be used to assess oral health in primary care from the perspective of those who actually use health services, seeking ultimately to constantly improve them. Knowledge of patients' perceptions may enable organizations to know their performance, through assessment methodologies based on the established perceptions.
