Resolving the Non-Productive Periods of Solar Chimney by Integrating with Waste-to-Energy Plant
Authors: Habibollahzade Ali , Houshfar Ehsan , Behzadi Amir Mohammad , Gholamian Ehsan , Ashjaee Mehdi
Published: May 2018

Total global renewable energy capacity has been increasing worldwide, i.e. doubled from 2007 to 2016. The main disadvantage of most renewable energy based plants is the lack of reliability for constant electricity production. Solar chimney is a renewable based plant with a power production of near zero during the night times. In this study, we have proposed a renewable integrated cycle by combining two plants and thereafter produce a reliable amount of electricity all the time. The proposed combination is achieved by injecting outlet air from the condensers of Tehran’s waste to energy plant into the bottom of the chimney tower, just below the turbine. Tehran’s average climate data for 12 months of the year is initially obtained and the Manzanares prototype is used for the solar chimney power plant model. The solar chimney power plant is simulated with 3D CFD simulation. The final power output of the solar chimney power plant reaches 20–70 kW and increased 20%–1200%, compared to the case without injection. This means power output of solar chimney power plant is at least 20 kW in the hottest night of the year with 5% relative humidity. We have concluded that by combining these renewable based plants, one of the most important solar chimney disadvantages could be removed.

A surdez autoimune é uma entidade clínica rara, representando geralmente um desafio diagnóstico, correspondendo muitas vezes à manifestação inicial de um distúrbio autoimune sistémico.Caracteriza-se pela presença de hipoacusia neurossensorial, bilateral e assimétrica de instalação progressiva durante semanas a meses. Em 50% dos casos, associado à surdez, verifica-se a presença de sintomas vestibulares, acufenos ou plenitude auricular. Dada a ausência de testes específicos que permitam a realização de um diagnóstico definitivo, este é baseado na suspeita clínica e na resposta ao tratamento com terapia imunossupressora.O diagnóstico diferencial é realizado através de uma história clínica detalhada com exame objetivo completo, bem como exames audiométricos, laboratoriais e imagiológicos de modo a excluir outras etiologias de surdez neurossensorial.A raridade desta doença, o grande espectro de manifestações clínicas, a ausência de estudos randomizados que demonstrem a eficácia do tratamento, bem como a ausência de resultados a longo prazo, fazem desta doença um desafio.Com este artigo os autores pretendem realizar uma revisão do tema de modo a facilitar a identificação precoce desta patologia e permitir a instituição adequada de tratamento.

Published: May 2018

O aneurisma da aorta abdominal constitui uma patologia comum e silenciosa, com desfechos potencialmente trágicos em situação de rutura. Se no passado a sua correção requeria abordagens cirúrgicas abdominais complexas, com grande morbi-mortalidade associada, o advento da correção endovascular do aneurisma da aorta abdominal (EVAR) e a sua generalização como procedimento gold-standard para o tratamento desta patologia vieram revolucionar o estado da arte, com possibilidade de tratamento de pacientes progressivamente mais velhos ou de risco cirúrgico previamente considerado proibitivo. Este é um caso clínico de um doente de 86 anos de idade, com múltiplos fatores de risco cardiovascular, submetido a EVAR sob anestesia local com acesso por via percutânea para correção de um aneurisma da aorta abdominal, o qual se complicou de pseudo-aneurisma femoral esquerdo, corrigido de forma minimamente invasiva e com sucesso por injeção percutânea ecoguiada de trombina.

Authors: Lopes Joana Abreu
Published: May 2018

Introdução: Há múltiplas evidências da associação entre doenças mentais e baixos níveis de ácido fólico. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência da deficiência de ácido fólico numa amostra de doentes da consulta externa de psiquiatria.Métodos: O estudo foi retrospetivo e incluiu 428 doentes da consulta externa de psiquiatria com os diagnósticos de depressão ou de psicose não afetiva, nos quais os níveis de ácido fólico tinham sido avaliados em análises de rotina. Foram também registados os níveis de ácido fólico de outros doentes do hospital, no mesmo período temporal.Resultados e Discussão: A prevalência de deficiência de ácido fólico nesta amostra foi de 18%. Os doentes não psiquiátricos com fatores de risco para deficiência de ácido fólico tiveram uma prevalência de 15% de deficiência. Nos homens e em doentes mais jovens os níveis de ácido fólico foram significativamente mais baixos, a prevalência de deficiência atingiu os 26%.Conclusão: A alta frequência de deficiência de ácido fólico nesta amostra de doentes comprova que os níveis de ácido fólico devem ser avaliados sistematicamente em doentes da consulta de psiquiatria com diagnósticos de depressão ou psicose, para evitar persistência de sintomas e resistência ao tratamento.

As manifestações gastrointestinais de infeções sexualmente transmissíveis podem não ser precocemente reconhecidas. Perante o aumento dos comportamentos sexuais de risco é imperativo o reconhecimento da proctite infeciosa na prática clínica. Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de um homem de 28 anos, homossexual, com infeção pelo vírus de imunodeficiência adquirida (com contagem de células CD4+ normal), que recorreu por múltiplas vezes ao serviço de urgência por quadro de retorragias e fezes com muco purulento, obstipação com tenesmo, aerocolia intensa e emagrecimento, sem melhoria com tratamento sintomático. A retosigmoidoscopia revelou uma proctite ulcerativa severa, com achados inespecíficos na histologia. A pesquisa de DNA do vírus Epstein-Barr e citomegalovírus em biópsia subsequente foi positiva, pelo que iniciou terapêutica dirigida, com melhoria paulatina do quadro clínico e endoscópico. Este caso realça a complexidade do diagnóstico da proctite infeciosa e alerta para a possível coexistência de múltiplos agentes transmitidos sexualmente.

Re-membering Ourselves: Confession as a Pathway to Conscientization
Authors: Bryant Courtney
Published: May 2018

In her book Too Heavy a Yoke: Black Women and the Burden of Strength, Chanequa Walker-Barnes (2014) offers a theological analysis of the myth of the “StrongBlackWoman,” a trope that suggests that black women do not have the same human needs or experience pain like others. Walker-Barnes suggests self-awareness as one of a myriad of interventions to combat the internalization of the StrongBlackWoman myth and the multidimensional manifestations of dis-ease it produces in black women. Offering greater specificity to Walker-Barnes’s strategy, this paper identifies the practice of confession as a strategy of self-awareness that facilitates black women’s capacity for vulnerability. The author employs the theology of feminist theologian Meehyun Chug and reflections of black feminist Audre Lorde to argue that the act of confession operates as a practice of conscientization, or a new, more valid way for black women to discover their feelings and understand their reality. It does so by reconnecting them with their physical and spiritual being, offering a theological reinterpretation of strength that privileges vulnerability and reconciling the dissociated parts of their humanness while embracing a sense of community with God and with others. This intervention takes seriously a womanist ontology of isness, which articulates the coherent and unified relationship between the body and the soul by attending to the inextricable connection between emotional, spiritual, and physical health through the interplay of material, psychological, and spiritual experiences. Through the practice of confession, black women employ the many dimensions of their being to debunk the ideologies of discursive powers that attempt to stifle their well-being. In doing so they establish for themselves, in conjunction with God and community, a more liberating vision of strength.
“To My Girls in Therapy, See Imma Tell You This fo Free . . .”: Black Millennial Women Speaking Truth to Power in and across the Digital Landscape
Authors: Berry-McCrea Erin L.
Published: May 2018

This paper describes the ways that Black millennial women have come to acknowledge the role of voice and to recognize the sociolinguistic traumas that they experience in and outside of digital spaces. The lived experiences of Black millennial women within the digital landscape are best viewed via the standpoint of constructivism, where individuals make meaning and come to knowledge of the world through their public and private communicative practices (Hancock 2015). The author shares findings from six ethnographic interviews carried out through a pilot study with Black millennial women. The interviews centered the thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and ideologies of these millennials about their social media use in relation to themes of language, race, culture, identity, and health. Black millennial women come to know their experiences on- and off-line as real because of the collective and individual stories that they live. They realize that the reconciliatory space of “being” a Black millennial woman within the context of the digital landscape has sociocultural implications and consequences. Based on what was shared by participants, it’s clear that they live through systems of oppression that reproduce practices of marginalization, silence, and erasure. To counter this, they embrace and reproduce narratives of resilience that remain pervasive in cultural and subcultural locales of their lives while also “speaking truth to power” where they work to confront their pain via radical digital self-care practices.
PsychoHairapy: Using Hair as an Entry Point into Black Women’s Spiritual and Mental Health
Authors: Mbilishaka Afiya
Published: May 2018

Most Black women who experience psychological distress do not receive mental health services because the dominant model of service delivery is often inaccessible and culturally disengaged. This mismatch of westernized approaches to mental health neglects the cultural significance of informal helping networks, spirituality, and interdependence found in the Black community. Based in Africana Womanism, an exploration of healing modalities in traditional African societies reveals the influential role of hair and spirituality in holistic wellness practices. Therefore, “PsychoHairapy” is a community health model created to secure space for Black women to address mental health and well-being through hair care. PsychoHairapy is grounded in traditional African spiritual systems that are culturally relevant by focusing on relationships that promote healthy practices. The theory and the practice of PsychoHairapy includes training hair care professionals in micro-counseling techniques, psychologists housing private psychotherapy sessions within the hair care setting, facilitating salon-based group therapy, and the distribution of psychoeducational materials and workshops to Black women.
On the Changing Use of the Major and Minor Modes 1750–1900
Authors: Horn Katelyn , Huron David
Published: May 2018

Historical changes in the use of the major and minor modes are traced in Western art music for the period 1750–1900 using cluster analysis methods. The analysis focuses exclusively on the interrelationships between modality, dynamics, tempo, and articulation in a random sample of 750 notated works. The resulting clusters are consistent with several affective or expressive categories, deemedjoyful, regal, tender/lyrical, light/effervescent, serious, passionate, sneaky,andsad/relaxed. Changes across time are consistent with common intuitions regarding the shift from Classical to Romantic musical languages. Specifically, thelight/effervescentcategory which dominates the late eighteenth century shrinks dramatically by the late nineteenth century, whereas thetender/lyricalandsad/relaxedcategories increase. In general, use of the minor mode increases considerably over the 150-year period.
Dyslexia and Post-Secondary Aural Skills Instruction
Authors: Parsons Laurel
Published: May 2018

Traditional post-secondary aural-skills curricula can create extreme difficulties for music majors with dyslexia. This article places the author’s experience teaching these students into the context of contemporary scientific and educational research on dyslexia, including a potential subtype of dyslexia that may impact the reading of musical notation while reading of text is unaffected. From the standpoint of a social model of disability, the existence of dyslexia is contested. However, new models of dyslexia frame it not as a disability but a byproduct of superior cognitive strengths in forms of reasoning hitherto undervalued in traditional education. Identifying and building on these strengths in students with dyslexia may aid instructors in designing effective pedagogical strategies that help these students improve in typical aural-skills tasks. Such strategies may be equally beneficial for all students. Working closely with dyslexic students and others who struggle with traditional aural-skills tasks leads to more fundamental questions about the assumptions and values implicit in standard aural-skills curricula. The principles of Universal Design for Learning may facilitate the design of courses that allow all students to grow in response to challenges by recognizing and recruiting their individual cognitive strengths.
Rethinking Interaction in Jazz Improvisation
Authors: Givan Benjamin
Published: May 2018

In recent years, the notion that “good jazz improvisation is sociable and interactive just like a conversation” (Monson 1996, 84) has become near-conventional wisdom in jazz scholarship. This paper revisits this assumption and considers some cases in which certain sorts of interactions may not always be present or desirable in jazz performance. Three types of improvised interaction are defined: (1) “microinteraction,” which occurs at a very small scale (e.g. participatory discrepancies) and is not specific to jazz; (2) “macrointeraction,” which concerns general levels of musical intensity; and (3) “motivic interaction”—players exchanging identifiable motivic figures—which is a chief concern of today’s jazz researchers. Further, motivic interaction can be either dialogic, when two or more musicians interact with one another, or monologic, when one player pursues a given musical strategy and others respond but the first player does not reciprocate (as in “call and response”). The paper concludes by briefly considering some of the reasons for, and implications of, the emergence of interaction-oriented jazz scholarship during the late twentieth century.
Translating Medieval Icelandic Sagas
Authors: Ceolin Martina
Published: May 2018

Within the framework of Translation Studies, much consideration has been given to the role recipients play in a translation process. However, a number of important questions arise in this regard when considering the translation of texts that are culturally and historically distant. In this contribution, I will explore the challenge of translating medieval Icelandic sagas, to demonstrate how crucial it is that translations of such texts be carried out not only with the supposed public in mind, but also by valorizing the cultural and historical specificities of the source-texts themselves. Examples will be drawn from my own recent experience of translating Áns saga bogsveigis into Italian (Saga of Án the Archer), an Old Icelandic fornaldarsaga (Legendary saga) written at the end of the fifteenth century.
Perspectives on Translating Medieval Law
Authors: Leslie-Jacobsen Helen F.
Published: May 2018

This paper demonstrates strategies in translating the first national law-code of Norway, the Landslov from 1274, into English. One can argue the need to have Old Norwegian law in English to make it more accessible. To ensure that a target audience distant in time and culture are able to understand the law, the paper argues that translators of Old Norwegian law must pay special attention that the vocabulary they select has equivalence of meaning in modern English. Historical legal terms and administrative positions and divisions often have no direct modern equivalent, or even have a misleading modern English cognate.
Translating the Fate of the Soul in Late Anglo-Saxon England
Authors: Di Sciacca Claudia
Published: May 2018

This essay discusses what is possibly the earliest translation from theVitas Patrumcorpus into a Western European vernacular, i.e. the Old English version of two visions of departing souls from theVerba Seniorumby Ælfric of Eynsham. Contrary to received notions, Ælfric favoured the narratives of the Desert Fathers as sources for paradigms of clerical celibacy and continence, two of the values that he was most anxious to teach and on which he took a strongly reformist stance. The two case studies presented aim to shed new light on the diffusion and appreciation of the Desert Fathers tales in Benedictine Reform England, in that they will show that, not unlike many anonymous homilists, Ælfric too drew on them as eschatological sources to conjure up two dramaticpost-mortemscenes.

Starting from the Subprime Mortgage in America, the crisis eventually spreads across all sectors of the economy. As analysts say that the explosion of the current economic crisis is caused by the trend of low interest rates that are applied by the Fed. The trend of low interest rates will give rise to expectation of market to future economic situation. It is characterized by the overflow of capital expansion in all sectors, especially in property sector. Today, along with the growing mobility of capital from one country to another as part of unavoidable economic liberalization, mobility of capital, on the one hand, has spawned some of the imbalances in the life of a State. The powerlessness can not be separated from economic ideology and system on state role in the economy. Capitalism with its laissez faire brings the concept of state minimal role in the economy. In the empirical facts, it is broken by the crisis situation in 1930 and today's financial crisis. Socialism tends to carry the central role of the State in the economy through the centralistic planning system. The fall of the Soviet Union in the 1980s brought the world to a choice whether reconstructing capitalism or socialism as Fukuyama and Gidden said. On the other hand, as the new system, the economic system of Islam brings the concept of the role of the State in the economy on the basis of universal values ​​of Islam, such as justice in the economy which is reflected in the mechanism of the prohibition of riba (usury), just income distribution and redistribution of income through zakat and social security. This article is an exposure of the State's role in the economy which is studied through the perspective of today’s economic system. The systems are capitalism, socialism, and Islam. The article not only explores conceptual framework, but also also contains an empirical framework mapping and how the conceptual framework is operated. At the end, from the two mapping (conceptual and empirical), author draws a reflection of how the State should play a role in the economic field.

The theory of Karl Marx’s Historical Materialism states that system of ownership is a necessity in the social system. Marx declares the social system development takes place in five stages. The first stage is primitive-communal society has have not recognized the system of ownership. The second stage is the stage of division of labor and the emergence of ownership. The third stage is formation of feudal society. The fourth stage is development of a capitalist community. The final stage is stage of development of the social system which is the formation of a socialist-communist society. If seen from ownership, the social-communal system is divided into three sections; the stage of primitive-communal society, the division of labor and the stages of ownership, and phase of the ownership elimination. According to Marx, the ownership of proletariat workers system suffers exploitation and alienation. Both of these things can only be solved by removing the ownership system which is replaced by the role of collective ownership. For Islamic economics, exploitation and alienation experienced by the proletariat workers are the result of inconsistencies in wealth management and distribution system in the capitalist system, not proprietary. Islamic Economics is looking at the role of individuals in managing their wealth and their distribution pattern.

Islamic economic view on demand and consumption is relatively equal with conventional economics, but there are limits for individual to behave economically in accordance with the rules of sharia. In Islamic economics, Islamic norms and morals, which are Islamic principles in conducting economic activities, are factors that determine an individual or society in conducting economic activities, so that Islamic economic theory is different from the theory of conventional economics. Demand is from the consumer and supply is from producer. Both of these are central to an economic problem because these two things make market work. Therefore, before looking at whether policy or event is capable of affecting the economy, we must first see the effect on demand and supply, including The object of discussion is the issue of inter-temporal consumption, that is consumption executed in two times, namely the present (first period) and the future (second period). Instruments that may affect the volume of money are allocated for consumption in either the first or second period includ: First, Zakah; the imposition of zakat in the first period 1 (Z1)) will reduce m1 allocated to C1. If there is no savings or lending in the first period, then final spending (m1 = FS = C1 +Z1) is same with m1. Second, Infaq or shadaqah; the expenditure of infaq or shadaqah in the first period will reduce the m1 allocated to C1. There is no savings or lending in the first period, then final spending equals m1. Third, rate of profit or profit sharing (rp); if in the first period there is a portion of m1 allocated in the form of savings and is invested, then the final spending the second period (FS2) equals m2 the number of m1 saved is added with the rate of profit (rp) (FS2 = m2 + (1 + rp) m1 )

First, how is application of ujrah determination in contract of rahn in BMT UGT Branch Sidogiri Waru Sidoarjo? The second, how is the analysis of the DSN-MUI fatwa NUMBER 25/III /2002 on the determination of ujrah in the contract of rahn in BMT UGT Branch Sidogiri Waru Sidoarjo? Data collection techniques used are interview, document review, and observation, then analyzed by using descriptive analysis method, with deductive thought pattern, that is theory of rahn, ijarah, and fatwa of National Sharia Council (DSN) with general characteristics and then linked with the facts on the ground about the fatwa of DSN-MUI NUMBER 25/III/2002 on the establishment of ujrah in the contract of rahn in BMT UGT Branch Sidogiri Waru Sidoarjo with special characteristics. From the results of the study, the author concludes the application of the determination of ujrah in the covenant of rahn in BMT UGT Branch Sidogiri Waru Sidoarjo, namely the determination of ujrah through two contracts, namely rahn and ijarah contract. The procedures for the implementation of the contract are as follows: Rahin (customer) comes to murtahin (BMT) while delivering marhun (collateral goods) then the goods will be estimated. As a result of this, the rahin will be subject to administrative costs. Then rahin signs the agreement or contract of rahn. After that, to entrust the goods hock, rahin must implement contract of ijarah (contract to rent place). Consequently it arise ujrah. In this case, it means that customer must implement two barrage of contract. The determination of ujrah applied in BMT is not in accordance with the Fatwa DSN-MUI NO: 25/DSN-MUI/ III/2002 because the determination of ujrah is determined from the amount of the customer’s loan, while the difference is the discount given to the customer for applying smaller loan. The determination of discount is determined from ujrah or ijarah fee charged to the customer. This discount is calculated based on the percentage of estimated value of customer’s loan amount

One thing that needs to be understood is that every result of human thought is always historical, tied to the space and time around it. The economic policies issued by Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z and Ghazan Khan must have certain truths in accordance with the dimensions of space and the cycle of time. However, the form of policy is an effort to solve the problems of the State, especially the economic sector that occurred in the middle of their leadership period. This article aims to examine the political economic thought of three caliphs, namely Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z, and Ghazan Khan with a historical approach. Political economic policy decided by Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z, and Ghazan Khan has a character that is flexible. It means however its method, during its goal to create welfare for the people and not in conflict with al-Quran and al-Sunnah, then that policy is applied. This was apparent when some of their policies are not always same as Prophet’s policy, even differ from each other, but with that difference, the world has recorded them as a brilliant decision maker. The policy of the three caliphs teaches us the ultimate determinants of the economic policy of the meaning of welfare (mas}lah}ah) which form the basis of the formulation of one policy. Rigid economic system will only become a separate boomerang for economic growth itself. Because the true that the holy economic goal is not economic growth, but the welfare of mankind as perpetrators of economic activity in this hemisphere.

The discourse on waqf recently appears the back to the surface. It not only discusses about the opinion of the fiqh scholars who have no uniform about understanding and nature waqf  itself, but also to reform and optimize waqf  in order to do more, namely to superintend the social problems of society, related to the prosperity of the economy of the people. Therefore, contextualization and repositioning of waqf institutions becomes a necessiry for immediate implementation. The function and role of waqf is very large in supporting the development and progress of the muslims. Therefore the management of waqf must be able to be optimized. Tragically the management of waqf in Indonesia is still not maximized, so there are some waqf property abandoned in its management, some even missing. This is due to the waqf management still uses traditional-consumptive management pattern. Efforts to develop waqf to be productive and productive, there are four things to note; Institutional aspect, accounting aspect, auditing aspect and aspect of nadhir. If these four aspects can be met, then the utilization of waqf will be more efficient. There are several forms of models that can be run by the manager of waqf, such as by holding Sharia banks as a partner with schema of mura>bah}ah, istis}na>’, ija>rah muntahiyah bi al-tamli>k (financial leasing with purchase option), muza>ra’ah, qard} al-h}asan, musha>rakah (partnership) and mud}a>rabah muqayyadah.

Science, including Islamic economics, is a systematic knowledge acquired in certain ways agreed upon by scientists. Certain ways to acquire such schematic knowledge are called methodologies. Science is obtained through investigation or investigation. But not every investigation can be called a legitimate and recognized way to gain the knowledge. Science has certain ways or processes called research. Thus, the methodology is in fact the ways or scientific research techniques. The technique here means ways of conducting an investigation and assessing the findings or evidences, ie judging whether the finds are true or false. After seeing how important the methodology is in building a discipline, especially the discipline of Islamic economics, this paper will try to answer the question: how is the methodology offered by Monzer Kahf to build Islamic economics? The research method used in this research concerns types, approaches, sources and data types, data collection techniques, data analysis techniques. The type of this research is library research, namely research conducted by taking and collecting data from the literature related to the issues discussed. Sources of research data obtained are from the existing literature, by collecting primary and secondary data. Primary data in this study refers to the books and other research journals by Monzer Kahf. The secondary data in this research is obtained from books, magazines, journals, articles, and so forth, written by other writer. Analytical technique used is descriptive-analytical analysis method. The results show that the task of describing the Islamic economic system consists of two parts. First, Islamic economists have to find the theory of the components of the economic system and its internal relations. Second, they are to investigate the economic validity and power of the system. Essentially, the approach used to find the Islamic economic system is similar to the approach used to find the general theories and rules of fiqh. Economics as one of the social sciences needs to develop a path to history to explore its experiences and determine the direction of long-term economic life. Islamic economists must revise conventional economic theory to recognize and separate biased postulates. In other words, refining theories is full of the dogmatic, doctrinal, and moral views of the experts and the environment.

En México, la incorporación de programas educativos al Padrón Nacional de Posgrados de Calidad (PNPC) del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT) constituye un reto para las instituciones de educación superior que están interesadas por la calidad de los servicios que ofrecen. Uno de los indicadores de calidad en la evaluación de dichos programas es la satisfacción de los estudiantes hacia el plan de estudios, la planta docente, la infraestructura, etc. Por lo anterior, el presente artículo expone los resultados de un estudio de satisfacción realizado a los estudiantes de cinco generaciones de un programa de posgrado de formación docente de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), México, a fin de detectar fortalezas y áreas de oportunidad. El estudio es de corte cualitativo y se llevó a cabo mediante una encuesta de satisfacción a 80 estudiantes de las últimas cinco generaciones que se encontraban estudiando el último semestre y que corresponden a los períodos escolares de agosto de 2014 a julio de 2017. Los resultados se analizaron categorizando las respuestas de los participantes en cinco aspectos: 1. Conocimientos adquiridos, 2. Habilidades desarrolladas, 3. Cambios de actitud, 4. Fortalezas del posgrado, 5. Acciones de mejora. Entre los resultados se encontró que los estudiantes manifestaron estar satisfechos con los conocimientos que adquirieron, las habilidades que lograron desarrollar, con los cambios de actitud que experimentaron y con el programa educativo en general. Además expusieron que dicho programa cuenta con una planta docente habilitada y experta, con infraestructura de vanguardia, con una duración adecuada a las necesidades de los usuarios, así como con la posibilidad de contar con diferentes ambientes de aprendizaje para la impartición de sus asignaturas. Sin embargo, aun cuando el programa se alineó al Modelo Educativo de Formación Integral de la UADY (MEFI), en el 2014, se obtuvo de este estudio que requiere de un replanteamiento curricular que responda a dicho modelo, así como de la implementación de estrategias y acciones para homologar las competencias docentes de su planta académica.

Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a primary prescribed treatment for a variety of cardiovascular disease states, including: coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure. For this reason, exercise prescription guidelines for cardiac patients have been established. However, it is unclear how these guidelines are being administered at cardiac rehabilitation centers. The purpose of this study is to assess current exercise prescription techniques at cardiac rehabilitation clinics across several Midwest states in the United States.

Methods: Fifty-eight CR programs from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio were administered a questionnaire assessing clinic characteristics, aerobic and resistance exercise prescription techniques.

Results: Most reported patient types were PCI, CABG, and MI. Clinical exercise physiologists were the primary exercise prescription writers (81%). Only 32% of the clinics required a clinical certification. Baseline stress tests prior to CR were performed in 33% of programs. Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) was the most commonly used indicator of exercise intensity, followed by heart rate reserve (HRR), and METs. Resistance exercise was practiced in 89% of CR programs. The most common intensity indicator was trial and error, and RPE.

Conclusion: Results demonstrate exercise prescription variability among CR programs. This emphasizes the complexity and expertise among clinical exercise physiologists. These results also highlight the importance that academic programs place on training students across all prescription techniques, and utilization of research-based prescription guidelines published by professional organizations.
