Suggests that the unintended effects of social policy measures are frequently important, controversial, difficult to ascertain and even more difficult to quantify. Some selected aspects of 4 types of unintended effects are discussed. (Original abstract-amended)

This work argues that being bound by a social convention can be valuable for its own sake. People need meaning in their lives, and conventions infuse our acts and attitudes with significance, rendering them right or wrong. Such rules bind us not just in virtue of their usefulness but also because their absence would impoverish our social world.

Introducción: Se define fistula anal como la comunicación anormal entre el conducto anorrectal y la piel y es un proceso infeccioso crónico que en su fase aguda forma un absceso anal. La mayoría de las fistulas anales tienen un origen criptoglandular. Después de un absceso anorrectal, el 7-40% de los casos evolucionan a una fase crónica manifiesta por fístula anal. Las fístulas se clasifican en simples y complejas. Las simples se definen como trayectos interesfinterianos o transesfinterianos en los que se identifica el orificio interno, por debajo del anillo anorrectal. Metodología: El estudio fue observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, con muestreo no probalistico de casos consecutivos en pacientes admitidos al servicio de cirugía general del Hospital Militar Central durante el periodo 2017-2019. La muestra corresponde a 322 fichas de pacientes con enfermedades periorificiales. Resultados: La prevalencia de fistula perianal en el servicio de cirugía del Hospital Militar Central fue del 28% , fue predominante en el sexo masculino en un 78%, la edad comprendida entre los 30 a 40 años fue la más afectada en un 60%. El trayecto fistuloso más frecuente fue el interesfinterico con el 61 %, seguido del trayecto transesfinteriano 26 %, Extraesfinteriano 9 % y por ultimo supraesfinteriano 4%. El 69% de los pacientes presentaron el antecedente de absceso anal. El método diagnóstico más utilizado fue la exploración física con un 79% seguido de la ecografía endoanal con un 13 % y resonancia magnética en un 8 %. La técnica más implementada fue la fistulectomia en un 63%. La tasa de recidiva fue de 9 % todas en fistulas complejas y de incontinencia anal en un 6%. Conclusiones: Las fístulas anorrectales constituyen una patología frecuente en la consulta del cirujano coloproctólogo, con un 28 % de prevalencia en nuestro estudio, siendo así la segunda causa de consulta entre las patologías periorificiales en nuestro servicio, con una complejidad que es mal interpretada en cuanto a su diagnóstico y tratamiento. El objetivo del tratamiento de las fístulas anorrectales no solo es curarla, sino además preservar la función de la continencia anal, minimizar los defectos de la cicatrización, ofreciendo al paciente una recuperación rápida, y evitar la recurrencia.

International audience This academic investigation into the issue of kinship is the result of several workshops entitled 'Running risks in the family: kinship put to the test of economics and politics, from Iran to the Balkans', that were held on February 2004, 13th (Aix-en-Provence), and May 2004, 7-8th (Istanbul). These meetings were organised by the Institut d'ethnologie méditerranéenne et comparative (IDEMEC) [Institute of Comparative and Mediterranean Ethnology] and the Institut Français d'Etudes Anatoliennes (IFEA) [French Institute of Anatolian Studies]. They were coordinated by Gilles De Rapper and Benoit Fliche.

"Black Lives Matter. Land Back. ICE and the border wall. These are all topics from today's headlines, but they all have their roots in actions and attitudes that were introduced by the first European colonists. Although they were common and accepted at the time, we now know these attitudes are wrong. So how do we correct ideas that are so deeply ingrained in our culture? Creating a fair and equitable society is an ongoing process. This book explores the basis of unfair social structures in the United States and the many steps along to the way to correcting them"--

The course of political science in higher education is often read, to a large extent, as a theoretical course and affects the study of issues and problems of the formation and development of political institutions, processes and technologies. The focus is usually on the history of politics, the state as the central institution of the political system, political parties, political consciousness, culture, political relations, etc. However, it is very important that, when studying a course in political science, listeners understand the current political processes taking place around them. Some of them are well established, democratic processes, such as the electoral process. Others are associated with the impact of modern innovation processes on the political sphere of society. And in this case, political science as a science once again demonstrates its value in an applied format. For a deep understanding of this kind of political processes, additional aggregated information is needed, knowledge that should differ in such characteristics as relevance, novelty, compliance with modern development. In the modern digital era, it is necessary to additionally acquire knowledge about the digital transformation of political institutions, processes and technologies, including types of state policy, the most important of which is social. And it's not just the digital economy. This, first of all, digitalization of public administration (State-web) — Big Date management, blockchain, etc., as well as digitalization of business — the emergence and development of digital enterprises, etc. It is obvious that the use of digital technologies will become possible for the development of predictive political science. This article is largely a translation of German publications by scientists dealing with the development of modern political science education in the countries of the European Union, in particular, in the Federal Republic of Germany. The focus is on the impact of digitalization on the teaching of theoretical and applied political science.

Since the mid-1980s, mass migration from the countryside to urban areas has been one of the most dramatic and noticeable changes in China.
