SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT AND BREASTFEEDING AT CHILDBIRTH: WOMEN’S DESIRES, EXPECTATIONS, AND EXPERIENCES

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze women’s desires, expectations and experiences regarding skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding in the first hour of life of their newborns. Methods: Qualitative research carried out in a teaching hospital in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The patients were followed longitudinally during prenatal care, at birth and during the puerperium. The participants were pregnant women during normal risk prenatal care, aged over 18 years old. Structured and semi-structured interviews were carried out in the prenatal period, participant observation at the time of delivery and new interviews in the puerperium. Content analysis was applied in the thematic modality. Results: 18 women between 21 and 38 years old were enrolled in the research. Women expressed the desire for skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding as immediate practices right after delivery and birth. However, many women did not believe it was possible, and the performance of routine procedures was considered the main obstacle. These expectations that skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding would not be carried out were confirmed in the experiences immediately after birth. Conclusions: The expectations and experiences brought by these women suggest a flaw that starts in prenatal care and implies difficulties in implementing the studied practices. Thus, the empowerment and participation of women can become an important tool in the humanization of birth.

Współpraca wojskowa NATO z państwami Kaukazu od 1991 roku

NATO declares open door policy towards aspiring countries since 90s. States from South Caucasus region took the effort to adjust its defense and security systems to NAO standards. To become a fully-fledged NATO members the main obstacle remains the lack of political will to extend NATO commitment to collective defense.

It’s hard to assume that new Strategic Concept will grant an automatic membership to any of NATO partner countries. Georgia, Armenia nor Azerbaijan have been seriously considered as NATO member states. The door are barely open.

The Democratic Legitimacy of Secession and the Demos Problem

The normative literature on secession has widely addressed the question of under which conditions the secession of a particular territory from a larger state might be regarded as justifiable. The idea of a normative justification of secession, however, remains ambiguous unless one distinguishes between the justice of secession and its legitimacy, a distinction that is now widely accepted in political philosophy. Much of the literature seems to have focused on the question about justice, while, in comparison, very little attention has been paid to the question of under which conditions secession can be regarded as democratically legitimate, as something explicitly different to the question of justice. This article addresses this second question. After some preliminary remarks, the article focuses on the main obstacle to develop a theory of democratic legitimacy of secessions, the so-called “demos problem.” Such problem, it is argued, has no categorical solution. This does not imply, however, that there is no democratic, legitimate way of redrawing our borders. Two strategies are proposed in this article to overcome the difficulty posed by the demos problem: an ideal strategy of consensus building and a non-ideal strategy of decision-making in the circumstances of disagreement.

The instrumental concerto: classification ISSUES

Statement of the problem. The question of classification of instrumental concertos is considered in the paper. It is emphasized that the problem still remains one of the most controversial in musicology. It was noted that there were many attempts to classify the concertos but they are incomplete due to some factors. The main obstacle is a particular flexibility of the concerto resulting in many forms, structures, and forms of performance. In case when a researcher focuses on the analysis of certain characteristics of concertos (cadence, musical form, interpretation of the soloist’s part, concertos of one composer, etc.), the question of classification is out of date. Instead, while covering the evolution of a concerto in general, the need to systematize the latest emerges. Thus, the significance of the concerto’s changes in different historical and socio-cultural conditions and the unequal interpretation of the concept of “genre classification” can be the obstacles, which make the classification process difficult. Among methods used, the following can be outlined: comparative, systematic, structural-functional, and historical approaches have been used to reveal the interaction between the soloists and the orchestra in different historical contexts and to follow up changes in different elements’ interactions. The purpose of the research paper is to offer a cross functional concerto’s classification as well as to reveal the role of the orchestra as a unifying criteria in it. The results obtained prove that the proposed classification of concertos is based on their categorization as the formation of hierarchical relationships between the most of structural elements. All criteria for classifying have been divided into two groups: conceptual (genre features, presence of singer parties, type of interaction, stylistic epoch, “purity of the genre”) and constructive (number of soloists and orchestras, choice of solo instrument, instrumental composition of the orchestra, typical or atypical music forms). All these elements are arranged in a hierarchy, the consequence of subordination levels is explained, multilevel connections between separate components are established. The conclusion was drawn that there is an adequate order of all criteria that allows us to offer a cross functional concerto’s classification. The orchestra plays a key role in it. Six periods of particularly intense correlation between the evolution of the instrumental concerto and the transformations of the orchestra have been disclosed
