Juicio a la Legitimidad del Legislador en Colombia
Authors: Higuera Jiménez Diego Mauricio
Published: July 2018

Los sistemas constitucionales y democráticos prevén una división clara de poderes, en la cual exista un sistema de pesos y contrapesos que equilibre el poder detentado por cada una de las Ramas en la estructura orgánica del Estado. En Colombia existe una división de las Ramas del Poder Público, en la cual el poder legislativo tiene gran protagonismo e incidencia en la aplicación del sistema constitucional de derecho y el ejercicio de la democracia y representatividad del pueblo colombiano. El Congreso de la República es el órgano que promulga las leyes en Colombia, por tanto el grado de legitimidad de sus miembros y sus decisiones es de vital importancia para la implementación y cumplimiento de las normas que rigen la sociedad. La corrupción y los vínculos con grupos armados ilegales, así como decisiones ilegítimas y alejadas de la realidad afectan la aceptación y la legitimidad del legislador. Usando la metodología de impugnación a los juicios en el proceso de legitimación, analizamos la autoridad del legislador en Colombia.

Published: July 2018

Este artículo presenta los resultados del proyecto “Análisis del derecho a la participación de niños, niñas y adolescentes: Un estudio de casos de los espacios formales de participación en tres instituciones educativas de Cartagena”, el cual buscó describir, analizar y valorar el conocimiento y la percepción que los niños, niñas y adolescentes tienen sobre sus derechos, en especial el derecho a la participación en la escuela como un espacio para el fortalecimiento de los valores democráticos y la ciudadanía.
Para ello se hizo una revisión documental de la normativa en Colombia que regula los espacios de participación escolar y a partir de técnicas de recolección de información cuantitativa y cualitativa se indagó sobre el conocimiento y la percepción que tiene la comunidad académica sobre la participación y los espacios existentes para su ejercicio en la escuela.
Se encontró que gran parte de la comunidad estudiantil presenta poco interés en los procesos democráticos desarrollados en su institución como resultado de no tener claridad sobre la concepción de sus derechos, lo cual genera que estos no se reconozcan ni demanden por el desconocimiento de la participación como derecho, y finalmente producto de la desconfianza en los procesos democráticos implementados en la escuela.

Authors: Sah Shanti , Goel Ruchica , Goel Jai Kishan
Published: July 2018

Background: Caesarean Section (C.S.) delivery rate is steadily increasing worldwide, including India. It is difficult to determine the optimum categorisation of C.S. Robson system is most widely accepted classification worldwide. The objective of the present study is to analyze the incidence of deliveries and caesarean section rate according to Robson’s criteria at SRMS-IMS, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.Methods: The record of total women admitted in labour unit from June 2017 to May 2018 were analyzed based on their age, parity, gestation age, mode of delivery and group they belong according to Robson’s classification.Results: Among 2560 women who delivered during the study period, 1030(40.23%) had caesarean section. Out of the total caesarean section 55.15% had primary caesarean section while repeat section were done in 44.85%. The most frequent indication for primary caesarean were fetal compromise and failure to progress while for repeat caesarean scar tenderness was the frequent indication. Robson’s group V had maximum caesarean section rate followed by group I. Breech presentation contributed to 11.55% to overall caesarean sections.Conclusions: In present study group V, I, II were found to be major contributors to overall caesarean section rates. Modifiable factor for reducing caesarean rate would be to improve successful induction of labour which would decrease primary caesarean rate hence the chance of repeat section.
Determination of large-size liner impedance based on numerical simulation of sound propagation in a duct with specified azimuthal modal structure
Authors: Korin I. A. , Palchikovskiy V. V. , Pavlogradskiy V. V.
Published: July 2018

A study of determining impedance of a large-size sound-absorbing liner with azimuthal acoustic modes propagating in a duct was conducted on the basis of numerical simulation. The first stage of the study consisted in developing a method of impedance eduction on the basis of a simple cylinder model with microphones installed outside the sound-absorbing liner section. The full-scale experiment was replaced by numerical simulation of the propagation of a specified azimuthal noise structure in a cylindrical duct with known impedance wall (direct problem). As a result of solving the direct problem, the values of acoustic pressures are determined at those points where microphones are to be installed during the realization of the full-scale experiment. The results obtained are used to find the initial impedance value (inverse problem). The solution of the inverse problem using the procedure of minimizing the discrepancy between the acoustic pressures of the direct and inverse problems showed good accuracy of finding the impedance. It was also found that the accuracy of impedance eduction practically does not vary with the angle of installation of the linear array of microphones. The second stage of the study consisted in applying the developed approach to the model of a facility for testing large-size sound-absorbing liners. Acceptable accuracy of determining the impedance was achieved with certain quality of the finite element mesh. It has also been checked that, to save the computational time, for some acoustical modes acceptable accuracy of impedance eduction is possible in an axisymmetric statement. Thus, the possibility of using the proposed approach based on numerical simulation for the eduction of sound-absorbing liner impedance was confirmed.

Authors: Pavlov V. F. , Kirpichev V. A. , Kiselev P. E. , Shvetsova A. A.
Published: July 2018

Fracture endurance limit is one of the main parameters used in calculating the strength of surface hardened parts. The influence of various operational factors along with hardening should be taken into account in predicting this parameter. Prediction of the endurance limit under stress concentration was carried out according to the criterion that takes into account the influence of residual stresses on the surface of the dangerous section of a hardened part, as well as the criterion of the average integral residual stresses over the thickness of the hardened surface layer equal to the critical depth of a non-propagating fatigue crack. The effect of surface hardening on the endurance limit was analyzed taking into account such operational factors as the type of deformation, working temperature, the asymmetry of the loading cycle of specimens made of steels and aluminum alloys. Fatigue tests of cylindrical specimens with circular notches of a semicircular profile were carried out under torsion, bending and tension-and-compression. It was established that the use of the criterion of the average integral residual stresses is quite a good indicator of the effect of surface hardening on the fracture endurance limit taking into account the operational factors studied.
Circuitos locais de produção e consumo de alimentos: um olhar sobre o trade turístico de Bonito, MS
Authors: Ushizima Larissa Yuri
Published: July 2018

A comercialização direta entre pequenos agricultores e o trade turístico tem sido amplamente abordada na literatura internacional como uma estratégia para canalizar os benefícios econômicos do turismo às populações rurais em seu entorno. A partir de contribuições de sociologia rural, esta pesquisa oferece uma abordagem alternativa sobre a comercialização direta. Com base em uma análise qualitativa realizada em Bonito – MS, o estudo sugere que as cadeias convencionais orientam o padrão de consumo do trade turístico, o qual segue rigorosos critérios de previsibilidade e escala no abastecimento de alimentos. Essa relação dominante de produção-consumo limita o desenvolvimento de circuitos locais. Assim, para construir arranjos comerciais sustentáveis, os atores locais devem incorporar práticas que privilegiam a re-localização da produção e do consumo de alimentos. Tanto agricultores familiares quanto o trade podem se beneficiar com a comercialização direta, por meio da criação de uma marca gastronômica que seja socialmente justa, economicamente viável e ainda ajude a distinguir a experiência de Bonito da dos outros destinos.

Authors: Lanznaster Luciane , Silva Marimar Da
Published: July 2018

Impulsionada pela evolução da tecnologia e pelo fenômeno da globalização, a indústria hoteleira vem se transformando para atender às necessidades de clientes estrangeiros que solicitam serviços cada vez mais exclusivos. Nesse cenário, ter competência comunicativa na língua inglesa tornou-se uma demanda profissional da hotelaria. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa, investiga as percepções do setor de recepção sobre a língua inglesa em dois hotéis de grande porte em Florianópolis. Para tanto, foi coletado material documental, realizada entrevista semiestruturada e aplicado questionário a quatorze colaboradores do setor. A análise dos dados revelou que os participantes percebem a competência comunicativa na língua inglesa como uma ferramenta básica em sua rotina profissional. No entanto, apesar de ser uma demanda, a realidade ainda está aquém das necessidades do setor de recepção. O estudo ainda mostra uma lacuna na formação profissional específica em hotelaria e em língua inglesa entre os participantes da pesquisa, uma rotatividade significativa de profissionais no setor e sugere ampliar o escopo da investigação a fim de corroborar ou refutar os resultados obtidos.
Marcas do Rio pré-olímpico: imaginários de sexo, violência e epidemias em um canal sino-americano do YouTube
Authors: Freitas Ricardo Ferreira , Gotardo Ana Teresa
Published: July 2018

Neste artigo, analisamos variáveis da imagem da cidade do Rio de Janeiro em produções audiovisuais da República da China (re)apresentadas no YouTube no dia da abertura dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, em que assuntos como zika, poluição e sexo prevaleceram sobre outros pontos relevantes do megaevento. Para tanto, elegemos uma compilação de 11 notícias animadas, produzidas pelo site taiwanês TomoNews, publicada em seu canal americano no YouTube em 05 de agosto de 2016. Nos produtos analisados, é possível perceber que, apesar dos esforços empreendidos ao longo dos anos na construção da marca Rio, por meio do city branding, houve uma descrença, apresentada de forma irônica, de que a cidade estaria preparada para receber as Olimpíadas, especialmente devido às possíveis epidemias e à violência. Inspirados em autores como Sodré, Siqueira e Amâncio, discutimos questões relacionadas à comunicação, ao turismo e ao patrimônio em uma cidade pautada pelo medo, mas que quer atrair turistas.

Published: July 2018

Barium Hexaferit (BaFe12O19) adalah magnet keramik golongan ferit. Ferit diaplikasikan sebagai magnet permanen dan mempunyai struktur hexagonal close-pakced (HCP). Kurva histerisis magnet permanen jenis ini memiliki koersivitas yang relatif tidak besar sehingga senyawa tersebut juga berpeluang cukup baik untuk diaplikasikan sebagai media penyimpanan data (magnetic recording) berupa patterned media. Penelitian ini mengkaji sifat-sifat magnetik bahan BaM berbentuk hexagonal terhadap kurva histerisis dan sifat resonansi feromagnetik pada berbagai variasi ukuran (meliputi : ketebalan dan diagonal hexagonal). Running simulasi mikromagnetik dilakukan untuk mendapatkan kurva histerisis dan frekuensi resonansi bahan BaM. Frekuensi resonansi meningkat (heksagonal diagonal tetap pada 12 nm) dengan bertambahnya ketebalan bahan BaM (misal pada ketebalan 24 nm diperoleh frekuensi resonansi sebesar 21,7 GHz dan pada ketebalan 36 nm diperoleh frekuensi resonansi sebesar 22,4 GHz), hal ini dikarenakan dengan bertambahnya ukuran ketebalan bahan BaM posisi spin terlihat sangat teratur. Sedangkan hubungan frekuensi resonansi dengan diagonal hexagonal yaitu kebalikannya.Kata Kunci: BaFe12O19, Simulasi mikromagnetik, Frekuensi resonansi

Macroeconomía y conciliación familiar: el impacto económico de los jardines infantiles
Authors: Bosch María José , García Toledo Carlos J. , Manríquez Marta , Valenzuela Gabriel
Published: July 2018

Antecedentes: Chile ha sido un caso paradójico en su cometido económico en las últimas décadas. Aunque este país implementó importantes reformas de modernización pro mercado, tiene una tasa de participación femenina inesperadamente baja, por lo que se desaprovecha una fuente importante del crecimiento económico. Diversos estudios indican que la causa de esta baja participación laboral femenina en Chile es una baja conciliación entre familias y el mercado laboral. Esta es una lección importante para otras economías en desarrollo que deseen implementar reformas similares.Metodología: en este artículo estimamos un modelo de equilibrio general con econometría bayesiana para cuantificar los efectos de la conciliación familiar y el trabajo a nivel agregado, por el efecto de los jardines infantiles.Resultados: las estimaciones econométricas indican que hay importantes ganancias si aumenta la conciliación, debido a un aumento en la productividad más que a un aumento en la oferta laboral.Conclusiones: la principal consecuencia en política económica para otras economías en desarrollo o emergentes es que aumentar los niveles de conciliación tiene importantes efectos sobre la actividad, pues se superan los costos de su financiamiento.
Negociación y preferencias económicas por género: evidencia experimental en México
Authors: Arceo Gómez Eva Olimpia , Campos Vázquez Raymundo Miguel , Medina Cortina Eduardo M. , Vélez Grajales Roberto
Published: July 2018

Antecedentes: en México, las mujeres obtienen un menor salario en promedio que los hombres. Si bien la discriminación explica parte de esta brecha, en este artículo mostramos que existen otras causales que contribuyen a ella.Metodología: implementamos un experimento de laboratorio controlado con 404 personas en el que se aplican los juegos del ultimátum y la negociación salarial. El experimento consta de tres etapas: primero se realiza una negociación anónima, después se revela al contrincante con una fotografía y finalmente se realiza la negociación frente a frente. Se desea estimar si existen diferencias en preferencias por negociación entre hombres y mujeres.Resultados: primero, no se observan diferencias por género en el monto que el proponente envía al respondente en ambos tipos de juegos. Segundo, la composición de género del juego resulta relevante para estudiar el proceso de negociación. Cuando se conoce el sexo del respondente, las mujeres muestran “solidaridad” al ofrecer un mejor salario a mujeres que a hombres trabajadores. Tercero, las mujeres rechazan menos ofertas que los hombres, especialmente en el juego del ultimátum. Por último, en el juego de negociación salarial, las mujeres contraofertan menos que los hombres, además de que los hombres trabajadores negocian de manera más agresiva en contra de empresas mujeres.Conclusiones: los estereotipos de género pueden explicar estos resultados. Dichos estereotipos determinan cómo debe comportarse cada género ante diferentes situaciones sociales o asumir atributos negativos en contra de mujeres en posiciones de poder. En este sentido, cabe mencionar que los resultados son relevantes para la elaboración de políticas públicas que resalten normas sociales sobre la importancia de la equidad de género.

Síndrome de Cotard, catatonía y depresión: reporte de un caso.
Authors: Huarcaya-Victoria Jeff , Podestá-Ampuero Angela
Published: July 2018

El síndrome de Cotard es una condición psiquiátrica relativamente infrecuente y de características clínicas a veces dramáticas. El paciente niega la existencia de algunas partes de su cuerpo, o incluso, su propia existencia. Inicialmente descrito por Jules Cotard en 1880, este síndrome ha pasado por varias vicisitudes conceptuales a lo largo de su historia. Actualmente las delusiones de negación o nihilistas se consideran como sinónimos del síndrome de Cotard, en tanto que la presencia de síntomas catatónicos ha sido generalmente descrita como poco frecuente. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 47 años con trastorno depresivo mayor que desarrolló un síndrome de Cotard y catatonía; el paciente mejoró consistentemente con venlafaxina 150 mg/día, aripiprazol 15 mg/día y diazepam 40 mg/día después de cuatro semanas. El artículo se complementa con una revisión de la literatura en torno al síndrome.

Cultural adaptation in the form of a mosque roof in the South Konawe District of the Southeast Sulawesi Province
Authors: Umar Muhammad Zakaria , Arsyad Muhammad
Published: July 2018

Although it is already embodied in Islamic culture, acculturation can still be traced to elements of the supporting cultures. When the religion of Islam entered into Indonesia, the original culture was not brought with them, so the previous culture was continued by Islam. When the mosque concept is embodied as a cultural product, there are various forms and various buildings involved in the mosque. Mosques located in the Middle East are diﬀerent from mosques in Indonesia. The form of the roof overlaps with that taken from the roof of ancient mosques in Indonesia. The form of roof overlap at mosques in South Konawe District has been traced by the author. This study aims to identify and analyse what cultural elements aﬀect the shape of the roof of the mosque and the form of acculturation of the cultures at the mosques in the District of South Konawe. This research was used a qualitative descriptive method. This research concluded that the architecture as part of the Hindu cultural system, Islamic mysticism, and Europe acculturate is displayed in the roof of the mosque in the District of South Konawe. The roof shape of the two-tiered or three-storey mosque (Hindu culture and the Islamic principles of Mysticism) and the roof covered with mustaks shaped like onions (European culture) was formed by the acculturation of the three cultures.
The decrease of simultaneous local election voter turnout in the Lamongan District
Authors: Sahab Ali
Published: July 2018

Voter turnout in local elections (pilkada) is a participation indicator. The local election in 2015 was diﬀerent from the local elections pre-2015, as the local election in 2015 was held simultaneously. Regional electoral commissions (KPUD) gave candidates campaign facilities like posters, banners, and debates with the other candidates on local television. This socialisation was expected to increase voter turnout. The purpose of this research to ascertain the level of voter turnout in the local election held in 2015 in Lamongan, and whether it is increasing or declining.KPUD has a new role not only to do with socialisation, but KPUD must also print campaign props in line with the fairness principles. The research methods used in this study were a survey and multistage random sampling for the sampling technique. The voter turnout in the 2015 local election was just 60.47% lower than the voter turnout of the 2014 legislative election(Pileg) that reached 71%. In the local election, the emotional bond between the voters and candidates is more powerful than that in a legislativeelection, but in the Lamongan local election 2015, it was not positively correlated. There are two main factors that inﬂuence the decrease of voter turnout. First, is the material orientation of the voters (sangu). If they do not get“Sangu”, they will not vote and they prefer to work in the fields. Voters thought that leaving their job for the election should get them substitution money. Second, was the indication of cartel politics, embracing all political parties in Lamongan Regency, for them to support the same candidate who was still on duty, namely Fadeli, and two other candidates. The level of voter turnout is inﬂuenced by the material orientation of the voters and cartel politics.

Published: July 2018

A qualitative research study using the phenomenology and cultural method was conducted in SMA Negeri 4, in Kupang. The data collection techniques were observation, interviews, and documentation. The data was obtained from the informants, and then processed and analysed by using interactive model analysis. The results of this study are 1) the lack of an optimal role from parents in building Civil Society; 2) schools embed the concept of society in their students but need to strengthen the students’ character; 3) the Civil Society concept in social life is not implemented properly, and 4) there are some obstacles which result in the absence of good civil society, such as the lack of character education, community high dependency on the government, a lack of facilities in relation to the children’s development at school, a lack of political education and political communication, and the practice of nepotism and interests in relation to social justice. The role of society in building a civil society community is still lacking. This is even though, in terms of tolerance and pluralism, parents and schools are already well implemented. However, the aspects of autonomy, democracy and social justice are not working properly, which turn out to be constraints when it comes to civil society formation.
Assessing the Impacts of Electricity Utilization in Educational Faculties: A Thailand Case Study
Authors: Yacout Dalia M. M. , Sirirote Pramote , Yacout M. M. , Thanaboripat Dusanee
Published: July 2018

In view of the up-scaling energy crises worldwide, efforts have been focusing on reducing energy consumption and replacing fossil fuels usage with renewable energy sources. Thailand is one of the developing countries that have been facing an increase in energy demand associated to its economic expansion. The development in the educational sector is one of the sectors causing an increasing energy demand.Purpose: This study aims to quantify energy usage and understand its environmental impacts in one of the educational facilities in Thailand in order to identify energy saving opportunities and improvement options related to energy consumption in this sector. Materials and Methods: The investigation included a historical energy analysis for energy utilization of the facility, an onsite energy audit and an environmental impacts assessment. A number of potential energy saving opportunities was identified; related cost savings and CO2 reduction were calculated. Additionally, the environmental impacts of energy utilization were simulated using the life cycle assessment technique. Special attention was given to potential impacts on global warming due to its direct association to fossil fuels combustion.Results and discussion: the pattern of energy utilization was identified and it clarified that the major contributor to energy utilization was energy consumption practices by students and staff of the faculty. Consequently, awareness raising of energy saving opportunities and people involvement was the major area of improvement. Results show that increasing people involvement in energy saving practices could lead to a cost saving of 46,000-120,000 USD/Year with low cost investment and a 100-240 ton CO2 reduction. Other potential savings were using motion sensors which save 30-40% of energy costs in offices and utilizing renewable solar energy as a source for electricity. This will save 13,300-33,300 USD/Year with a 7.5 years payback and 35-50 years lifetime.When assessing the associated environmental impacts to electricity production, five main categories were found to be impacted: fossil fuels depletion, respiratory inorganics formation potential, global worming potential, acidification potential and eutrophication potential. The application of the suggested energy saving opportunities will reduce the electricity consumption, lower generated air emissions from fossil fuels combustion, consequently minimize all associated impacts specially global worming potential.In Conclusion: assessing energy utilization of educational facilities is essential to reduce energy demand in an up-scaling economy. Energy analysis and onsite energy audits are efficient methods for recognizing energy utilization patterns and identifying energy saving opportunities. The implemented investigation in this study can be applied in different educational facilities.

The Determinants of Optional Insurance Coverage with FlexibleSpending Accounts in Post-Affordable Care Act-USA
Authors: Niankara Ibrahim
Published: July 2018

Motivated by the theoretical model of health insurance choice with Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) presented in Cardon 2012, this study investigates the determinants of optional coverage (SSP) and flexible spending accounts (FSA) enrollment, among the privately insured in post-affordable-care-act (ACA) USA. To this end, we rely on semi-parametric bi-variate probit methods, along with a pooled cross-section of the 2015-2016 National Health Interview Surveys. As predicted by the theoretical model, we find that SSP and FSA are complement health solutions with a positive correlation. Our results emphasize that the most important trigger factors influencing the joint probability of SSP and FSA adoption include not only insurance premium cost, but also age, education, marital status, number of work hours, region of residency, citizenship status, and annual health expenditure level. We find that controlling for these latter factors, health status is not significant especially for FSA adoption. In addition, despite the fact that the relative frequency of individuals with FSA rises with increasing levels of medical expenditure, ACA restrictions on FSA tax exclusion to an annual adjusted maximum of $2600 (in 2017 $s) seems to adversely burden individuals with greater medical expenditure, thereby reducing their likelihood of FSA enrollment in post-ACA USA. Understanding these factors is very crucial to US health care market's stakeholders, including insurance companies, firms looking to design their health insurance offerings, but also policy-makers interested in providing new tailored health solutions for reducing health risks.

Published: July 2018

The presentation of various party / program stances in the Kosovo political scene, tells us about the parties’ level of orientation in favour or against conservatism. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze and discuss the empirical validity, respectively the relations of Kosovo political parties with the pragmatic conservatism. In what areas, Kosovo parties have similarities or differences with pragmatic conservatism, such as Religion, patriotism and property.In order to find an answer for this research article, different qualitative methods will be used, such as comparative, content and document analysis, as well as interviews. All this with the sole of collecting and analyzing the data found.The findings of this article are very significant because, based on substantive analysis and party documents, we can conclude that the attitudes or approaches of Kosovo political parties regarding pragmatic conservatism are only "Partially pragmatic conservative” or "Beyond - Pragmatic Conservator". This means that the parties take the ideology of conservatism into account only partially or only within the program points that suits them.In this regard, the importance of this research has to do with the facts and with a realistic situation to understand the complexity, the issue and the importance of pragmatic conservatism as well as the idea of social transformation by curbing destructive tendencies. In this context, the stances of Kosovo political parties go beyond party ideology, because they include social transformations, religion, tradition and nation / patriotism. So in this way, through such attitudes, political parties convey / transmit into the society of Kosovo a social awareness and inter-religious tolerance.

Metastases to the heart are extremely rare, and the reported incidence of cardiac metastasis at autopsy ranges from 1.5 to 21.8  %. In cancer patients, cardiac metastases are usually difficult to  diagnose unless the patients do not complain of any related  symptoms. Common tumors with cardiac metastasis potential are  usually carcinomas of the lung, breast, and malignant lymphoma.  The prognosis of a metastatic heart tumor is unfavorable. The  average life expectancy for patients with this diagnosis is less than  six months. In addition, surgical treatment of primary cardiac tumors or metastatic cardiac tumors is associated with high risk of  perioperative lethality. Case report. We present a rare case of  cervical cancer metastasis to the heart in a 33-year-old woman.  Cytological examination revealed no evidence of disease recurrence  14 months after the completion of external beam radiotherapy.  Echocardiography showed a mass in the outflow tract of the right ventricle and findings of severe pulmonary hypertension.  omputed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a  large right ventricular thrombus. The patient underwent surgery with  artificial circulation. Pathohistological and immunohistochemical studies revealed metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma. The control  echocardiography showed decrease in pulmonary hypertension. No  evidence of right ventricular mass was detected. Conclusion. Cardiac metastasis should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with complaints of dyspnea and chest pain, especially in cases with history of cancer. Surgical treatment of cardiac metastasis  contributes to the prevention of cardiopulmonary complications and  improvement of survival rates in this group of patients.

Published: July 2018

A retrospective epidemiological analysis of the mortality from respiratory system cancer among the population of the Tomsk region for a ten-year period was carried out using data drawn from  the official population and mortality statistics of the Tomsk region.  Cancer has the second leading cause of death behind cardiovascular disease. Respiratory system cancer is the 3-rd most  common cause of cancer-related death after cancers of the digestive system and genital organs. The standardized mortality  rate for respiratory system cancer among the rural population is significantly higher than that in the urban population (p<0.05). Over the study  period, the respiratory system mortality rate decreased for males  (р=0.0000) and remained relatively constant for females. The  lifetime risk of dying from respiratory system cancer in 2016 in the  Tomsk region was higher than the national average. For men, it was  the highest among the main localizations. Compared to 2007, the  mortality rate decreased, as the risk of lung cancer death in men  decreased. The lifetime risk of dying from respiratory system cancer  was higher in the rural population than in the urban population. The indicator of «severity» of the disease indicates an unfavorable  situation in terms of quality and completeness of statistical recording of patients and early diagnosis of respiratory cancer, especially in  urban areas of the Tomsk region. In order to ensure timely and  adequate routing of patients with suspected malignant neoplasm and  timely diagnosis, the continued implementation of the Population-based Cancer Registry with coverage of all administrative territories and areas is of great importance.
TREATMENT OF RADIATION-INDUCED PELVIC DAMAGE AFTER RADIATION THERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER
Authors: Sycheva I. V.
Published: July 2018

Background. Radiation-induced damage to the pelvic organs (post-radiation proctitis, cystitis, urethritis) is a frequent complication after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The reported frequency of late  radiation damage to the pelvic organs is up to 30 %.

Material and methods. The paper presents treatment outcomes of 149 with radiation-induced pelvic injuries caused by brachitherapy  (15 patients) and combination treatment including brachitherapy and external beam radiation therapy (28 patients) for stage T1–3N0M0  prostate cancer. Radiationinduced rectitis (proctitis) was revealed in  149 patients and complications of the urinary tract after radiation treatment were noted in 107 (72 %) patients. Potency  failure was observed in 98 % of cases. All patients received  conservative treatment and 8 (5 %) of these patients underwent  surgery after inefficient conservative treatment. 

Results. Favorable effect of conservative therapy of radiation-induced rectitis was obtained in 141 (95 %) patients. Eight (5 %)  patients underwent colostomy due to the formation of vesicle-rectal  fistula. Chemical cauterization of the mucosa of the bladder and  rectum in patients with erosive hemorrhagic and hemorrhagic rectitis and cystitis was effective and safe. The frequency of post-radiation  complications was found to be less after brachitherapy than after  combination treatment using brachitherapy and external beam  radiation.

Published: July 2018

The aim of the study was the pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic analysis of analgetic efficacy and safety of transdermal fentanyl for cancer patients.

Material and methods. A comprehensive search for journal articlespublished between 2012 and 2017 was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and E-library databases.

Results. The analysis of the data showed that pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic factors can influence the interindividual variability  of analgesic therapy with fentanyl TTC for cancer patients,  predetermining phenotypic differences in the efficacy and safety of  analgesia. Enforced polypharmacotherapy with the use of inducers or inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme activity can significantly change  the effectiveness of analgesic therapy and result in undesirable side  effects of strong opioids. Contradictory data on the effect of some  single nucleotide polymorphisms of metabolic genes, transport genes and mu-opioid receptor genes dictate the necessity of further studies in this field.

Conclusion. To date, there is no single explanation for interindividual variability of analgesic therapy with fentanyl TTS. A  comprehensive assessment of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic factors affecting the efficacy and safety of  analgesic therapy with potent opioids is a tool of a personalized approach for anesthesia in clinical oncology.
