Hosidius Geta Medea-centója
No full textThe subject of my paper is Hosidius Geta’s drama, Medea. The Late Latin tragedy retells the well-known Greek myth in Virgilian hexameters. Written in the 3rd century AD, the piece was preserved in the so-called Codex Salmasianus (today Codex Parisianus 10381), a manuscript copied in a monastic scriptorium in the 8th century. Not much is known about its assumed author, Hosidius Geta. Due to the fact that his figure is known from a reference by Tertullian the African, Hosidius might also have lived in Africa. Originally, the name of the genre cento meant a patchwork garment used for covering animals or as defensive armour. Later, the expression was applied to a new method of poetic creation and a particular literary genre, in which new poems were composed of excerpts taken from other authors, especially Virgil. I focus on passages where Medea’s words might have been borrowed from Virgil’s Dido. Most quotations from Dido are put into the mouth of Medea, but Medea’s passages are predominantly composed of other sources. Hosidius’ Medea is related to Seneca’s portrayal: her cruel and destructive nature seems to be conscious, which alienates the reader.The subject of my paper is Hosidius Geta’s drama, Medea.

Knowledge about Rh-incompatibility and its associated factors among antenatal care recipients in public hospitals of Wolaita zone, 2022: facility-based cross-sectional study
No full textBackground Lack of awareness about the Rh-incompatibility problem is one of the factors hindering early prevention in Ethiopia. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine what was known about Rh-incompatibility disorders and their associated factors among pregnant women participating in prenatal care in southern Ethiopia.Design, setting and participants A facility-based cross-sectional study was employed in four selected hospitals during 1–30 August 2022. The systematic random sampling method was used as a technique of selecting the study participants. The study was performed using a structured questionnaire. The data were coded and entered into EPI DATA V.4.6, and then the analysis was done using SPSS V.23 software program. Adjusted OR with 95% CI was the measurement unit of association between independent variables and outcome variables. The significance level was established as p<0.05.Result 414 women took the survey, which corresponds to a response rate of 98.1%. Of those who responded, only 48% knew their blood group. The study found that 35.3% (95% CI: 31% to 40%) of women had a good knowledge of Rh-incompatibility. Maternal educational level above secondary school, multigravida women, blood type screening in the maternity ward, early counselling on Rh status and Rh-incompatibility and a positive attitude among women were significantly associated with pregnant women’s knowledge of Rh-incompatibility.Conclusion The majority of pregnant women had poor knowledge regarding Rh-incompatibility. Therefore, all responsible organisations should focus on expanding pregnant women’s knowledge of Rh-incompatibility and the factors significantly associated with knowledge of Rh-incompatibility
Starfendarannsóknir til valdeflingar : með rannsóknum á eigin störfum geta kennarar öðlast vald yfir þekkingunni á fagi sínu
No full textRáðstefnurit NetluEf kennarar eftirláta öðrum að segja sér fyrir verkum gætu þeir misst völdin yfir þekkingunni á því fagi sem störf þeirra byggjast á. Hættan á því að kennarar breytist í hugsunarlaus millistykki milli sérfræðinga og nemenda blasir við ef kennarar leita ekki leiða til að halda faglegum völdum. Í þessari grein er fjallað um starfendarannsóknir sem aðferð sem kennarar geta tileinkað sér til að efla sig í starfi. Færð eru rök fyrir því að rannsóknir kennara á eigin störfum styrki fagmennsku og áreiðanleika starfa þeirra. Kennarar þurfa að byggja sterkan þekkingargrundvöll undir störf sín til að geta orðið sterkt samfélagslegt afl. Það er mikilvægt að kennarar skilgreini fyrir sjálfum sér og öðrum hvað þeir vilja standa fyrir og þekki þá hugmyndafræði sem kennsla þeirra byggir á. Með því að stunda starfendarannsóknir aukast möguleikar kennara á því að vinna á jafningjagrunni sem samstarfstarfsaðilar þeirra sérfræðinga sem gætu haft áhuga á að eigna sér valdið yfir þekkingunni á fagi kennara.In this article the author writes about action research as an empowering tool for teachers. Teachers who research their work and methods of teaching will be stronger professionals and it will be easier for them to reason why they choose a particular way of teaching and working as education professionals. Teachers have to build a strong knowledge foundation for their work so they can be more than pawns in the hands of other specialists, specialists who sometimes seem to be interested in keeping the power of teachers’ professional knowledge under control

One Foot In: Student-Athlete Advocacy and Social Movement Rhetoric in the Margins of American College Athletics
No full textIn "One Foot In: Student-Athlete Advocacy and Social Movement Rhetoric in the Margins of American College Athletics," the author explores student-athlete advocacy of black male student-athletes in revenue generating sports and educational and cultural reforms to NCAA policies and bylaws over approximately two decades (1985-2006). The author examines non-profit organizations--Black Coaches Association, Drake Group, Institute for Diversity and Ethics and Sport, and Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics--who pressured the NCAA to enact measures to restore order and balance to American college athletics. In addition, these measures are designed to increase student-athlete graduation rates, increase opportunities for minority coaches and administrators, and protect college educators who blow the whistle on institutions who commit infractions. The author begins by identifying social movement rhetorical strategies--the "Triple Front" strategy of Harold Cruse and Agitation/Control Rhetoric of Bowers, Ochs, and Jensen--to analyze rhetorical interactions between non-profit organizations and the NCAA, especially how the NCAA responds by using control rhetoric in order to protect itself from outside influences. Finally, the author ends the discussion by using autoethnography to analyze my own experiences as a writing program administrator challenging NCAA hegemony by running a progressive writing program within a traditional student-athlete study hall

Hvernig geta íslensk skattyfirvöld nálgast túlkun á hugtakinu raunverulegur eigandi?
No full textHvernig geta íslensk skattyfirvöld nálgast túlkun á hugtakinu raunverulegur eigandi?
Í þessari ritgerð verður leitast við að skoða hugtakið raunverulegur eigandi og hvernig íslensk skattyfirvöld geta nálgast túlkun á hugtakinu. Hugtakið raunverulegur eigandi (e. beneficial owner) er að finna í alþjóðlegum tvísköttunarsamningum sem hafa verið túlkaðir í samræmi við samnings¬fyrirmynd Efnahags- og framfarastofnunar Evrópu (OECD). Hugtakið var fyrst sett fram í 10. gr. samningsfyrirmyndar OECD árið 1977 sem skilyrði fyrir því að rétthafi tekna, þ.e. arðs, vaxta og þóknana, geti einn notið þeirra skattalegu ívilnana sem tvísköttunarsamningar tryggja aðilum samnings. Hér á landi er lítil reynsla komin á notkun hugtaksins raunverulegur eigandi í dómaframkvæmd og er það eingöngu að finna í einum úrskurði yfirskattanefndar frá 2001. Telur höfundur brýnt að hugtakið verði skilgreint og innleitt í íslensk skattalög og verði það gert m.a. með hliðsjón af samningsfyrirmynd OECD og með hliðsjón af því hvernig önnur OECD-ríki hafa túlkað hugtakið í framkvæmd. Engar slíkar skilgreiningar finnast í íslenskum tekjuskattslögum, ekki frekar en skilgreiningar á öðrum mikilvægum hugtökum í skattarétti hérlendis. Þrátt fyrir að vísað sé til hugtaksins raunverulegur eigandi í fjölda tvísköttunarsamninga um heim allan þá er ekki að finna neina almenna alþjóðlega skilgreiningu á hugtakinu. Óskýrt er samkvæmt dómaframkvæmdum hversu langt skattyfirvöld mega ganga með því að nota regluna um raunverulegan eiganda sem skattasniðgöngureglu. Hafa fræðimenn bent á að erfitt muni reynast að móta almenna alþjóðlega þýðingu á hugtakinu meðan hvorki er til staðar almenn skilgreining á hugtakinu í samningsfyrirmynd OECD né sérstakur OECD-dómstóll í slíkum málum.How can Icelandic tax authorities best interpret the concept of “beneficial owner”?
The topic of this thesis is to examine the concept of “beneficial owner” and how Icelandic tax authorities can best interpret it. The aforementioned concept can be found in international double tax treaties that have been interpreted in accordance with the OECD Model Convention. The concept was first introduced in Article 10 of the OECD Model Convention in 1977 as a condition for the beneficiary of income, i.e. dividends, interest and royalties, to be the sole party to enjoy the tax relief that double tax treaties guarantee parties to agreements.
There is not much precedent for the use of the concept “beneficial owner” in judgements in Iceland, it can only be found in one judgement of the Internal Revenue Board from 2001 but the author maintains that it is crucial that the concept be defined and introduced into Icelandic tax legislation by using the OECD Model Convention as a template as well as considering how other countries have implemented the concept into their legislation. Current Icelandic tax legislation lacks such a definition as well other important concepts that exist in foreign tax legislation. Even though the concept of “beneficial owner” is referred to in several double tax treaties globally, there is no general international definition of the concept. Based on precedent, it is unclear how far the Icelandic tax authorities can go in applying the rule of “beneficial owner” as a tax avoidance rule. Scholars have noted that it will prove difficult to form a general international interpretation of the concept when a general definition of the concept lacks in the OECD Convention Model and no specific OECD court exists to rule in such matters
Determinants of preterm delivery among mothers who gave birth in hospitals of Wolaita zone, southern Ethiopia, 2023: unmatched case-control study
No full textAbstract Background Preterm delivery refers to childbirth that occurs before 37 full weeks’ gestation. Globally, around 13.4 million babies are born preterm annually, a million died due to its complications. Identifying its determinants is mandatory to decrease preterm birth and thereby neonatal deaths. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the determinants of preterm delivery among mothers who gave birth in hospitals in the Wolaita zone, southern Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based unmatched case-control study design was conducted from March 29 to May 20, 2023, in the Wolaita zone, southern Ethiopia. Cases were women who gave birth after 28 weeks and before 37 completed weeks, and controls were women who gave birth at and after 37 and before 42 weeks of gestation from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. A consecutive sampling method was used. Data were collected by a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were coded and entered into Epi data 3.1 and analyzed by using SPSS version 25. Variables that had a P-value < 0.25 in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were entered into a multivariable logistic regression model. Finally, p-value < 0.05 was used to claim statistical significance. Result From a total of 405 eligible participants, 399 respondents (133 cases and 266 controls) participated in this study with a response rate of 98.52%. The result of the multivariable analysis shows that mothers who resided in rural areas [AOR = 2.78:95% CI (1.51–5.12)], not receiving support from their partner [AOR = 2.37:95% CI (1.24–4.51)], less than four antenatal care visits [AOR = 4.52:95%CI (2.38–8.57)], developed pregnancy-induced hypertension [AOR = 5.25:95%CI (2.27–12.14)] and exposed for intimate partner violence [AOR = 2.95:95%CI (1.105–7.85)], had statistically significant association with experiencing preterm delivery. Conclusion and recommendation Most of the determinants for preterm delivery have been proven modifiable. Thus, designing new strategies, providing comprehensive mobile clinic services to address hard-to-reach areas and Health care providers should give due attention to mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension and exposure to intimate partner violence and increase the awareness of antenatal care follow-up and benefit of support during pregnancy to reduce preterm delivery
