The brain is a part of the human body that functions as a cognitive center. When the brain begins to age there will be a decline in brain function which can lead to a decline in cognitive function and balance of the body, so that an elderly person will experience memory loss. After the elderly retire or stop working, the physical activity routine will decrease. This will have an impact on the level of concentration and cognitive status in the elderly. Groups with low education are not perceived to be better cognitively compared to groups with higher education. The study was conducted in the Gombong II Community Health Center Work Area of Kebumen District in May-June 2017 by distributing questionnaires on physical activity assessment, education and cognitive level measurement using the MMSE questionnaire. Sampling was conducted in cross sectional with 35 respondents. The results of the Chi-Square test obtained a significance value of p <0.001 which means that there is a significant relationship between the level of education and cognitive of the elderly. Test the level of activity relationship obtained p value 0.045, which means that there is a significant relationship between the level of physical and cognitive activity of the elderly in the Gombong II Community Health Center Work Area.

Published: July 2019

The problems of ensuring the reliability and safe operation of long-running hazardous industrial facilities, in particular gas pipelines, after 50 years of operation are considered. The goal of the work is developing a method for assessing metal embrittlement of long-running main gas pipelines (MG) using a non-destructive method for monitoring and improving operational reliability. Experimental studies of the samples of the pipes of the main gas pipelines revealed the parameters most sensitive to the processes of structural degradation. The applicability of those parameters to assessing the degree of degradation is substantiated. Analysis of the results of mechanical and acoustic studies revealed correlation with an essentially large value of the correlation coefficient. Based on this correlation, a method for assessing the toughness has been developed. The experimentally obtained limit values of the studied characteristics at which the operation of the structure becomes dangerous are presented. A flowchart has been developed for monitoring changes in the toughness of the gas pipeline steel after long-term operation. The experimental results and developed method for estimating the limiting state of the gas pipeline material were used during technical diagnostics of non-project sections of the Mastach — Berge — Yakutsk gas pipeline to determine real operational characteristics and form a database of the studied indicators for their further monitoring. The proposed method will improve the efficiency of accumulated information on the structural reliability and provide the possibility of assessing the degree of pipe metal degradation without conducting mechanical tests and making samples in the process of technical diagnostics thus reducing the material costs for conducting scheduled maintenance of the pipelines.

The aim of this study was to find whether the magnitude of changes in blood before and after horse endurance competitions was the same at the beginning and the end of the season and if the studied indices could be useful in assessing the impact of such changes on the length of the endurance racing season. The study was conducted on 36 clinically healthy horses. Blood samples were taken during 60-km endurance competitions in 2014, three times in total. The study revealed an increase of lymphocytes (× 1.89-2.05;P< 0.001), red blood cell count (× 1.11-1.12;P< 0.001), and a decrease in the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (× 1.20-1.27;P< 0.001), red cell distribution width (× 1.11;P< 0.01), platelet concentrations (× 1.33-1.40;P< 0.05), when compared at the beginning and in the end of the horse endurance racing season. During the entire season, haematocrit values significantly increased after the race but were at their lowest in the mid-season period. The results proved a significant increase in the white blood cell and granulocyte counts following the finish of a 60-km endurance race, when comparing the values at the beginning and in the end of the horse endurance racing season, and a significant reduction in lymphocytes when comparing the values at the beginning (35.7%) and at the end (29.7%) of the season. The endurance competition season highly influences haematology indices in horses' blood, however, to determine the season's impact on the results of the race, additional studies must be conducted.

Background

During the 2018 WNV transmission season, similarly to other endemic areas in Europe, a large number of human West Nile virus (WNV) infections were reported in Hungary.

Aims

We summarise the epidemiological and laboratory findings of the 2018 transmission season and expand experiences in flavivirus differential diagnostics.

Methods

Every patient with clinical suspicion of acute WNV infection was in parallel tested for WNV, tick-borne encephalitis virus and Usutu virus (USUV) by serological methods. Sera, whole blood and urine samples were also tested for the presence of viral nucleic acid.

Results

Until the end of December 2018, 215 locally acquired and 10 imported human WNV infections were notified in Hungary. All reported cases were symptomatic; most of them exhibited neurological symptoms. In a large proportion of tested individuals, whole blood was the most appropriate sample type for viral nucleic acid detection, but because whole blood samples were not always available, testing of urine samples also extended diagnostic possibilities. In addition, the first human USUV infection was confirmed in 2018 in a patient with aseptic meningitis. Serological cross-reactions with WNV in different serological assays were experienced, but subsequent molecular biological testing and sequence analysis identified Europe lineage 2 USUV infection.

Conclusion

Careful interpretation and simultaneous application of different laboratory methods are necessary to avoid misdiagnosis of human USUV cases. Expansion of the laboratory-confirmed case definition criteria for detection of viral RNA in any clinical specimens to include urine samples could increase diagnostic sensitivity.

Published: July 2019

The work is devoted to the study of the influence of ultrasound on the morphological and physiological-biochemical indicators of seed germination in wheat. The seeds were sonicated at the swelling stage, immediately after soaking and at the germination stage, 24 hours after the addition of water. The treatment was carried out for 5, 10 and 20 minutes, the controls were soaked, but not sonicated seeds. In the seeds and sprouts, the intensity of respiration, the activity of catalase and peroxidase, the length of the roots, the number of roots, the length of the shoots, the germination capacity, and the rate of germination were measured. A partial dependence on the effect of the investigated factor and the corresponding parameters studied is shown. Ultrasonic treatment had either a stimulating effect or an inhibitory effect. A statistically significant increase in the catalase activity was observed with 20 minutes of seed treatment at the swelling stage and at 10 and 20 minutes treatment at the germination stage. The five-minute action activated the activity of peroxidases. The intensity of respiration was higher in seeds treated during 10 and 20 minutes at the stage of swelling, and 5 minutes at the germination stage, a decrease in the intensity of respiration was observed in seeds treated with ultrasound for 20 minutes at the germination stage. The germination rate was enhanced by 10 minutes of action by ultrasound at the swelling stage. The analysis of morphometric indices revealed a positive dynamics for seeds treated with ultrasound for 10 minutes at the stage of swelling, negative values were recorded during seed treatment for 10 and 20 minutes at the germination stage. The point of stimulating action of ultrasound on wheat seeds in the region of 10 minutes at the initial stage of swelling was established.

It has been studied the efficacy of a preparation containing humic substances Cytohumat® and of suppositories on the basis of probiotic microorganisms Phometrin for the prevention of obstetric and gynecological pathologies. In the first and second experimental groups in the dry period the treatment included  Cytohumat® at a dose of 70 and 50 ml per head in admixture with the feed for 20 days. After calving animals were injected with Phometrin, intrauterine, for 3 candles and 4, respectively. It led to a decrease in the frequency of postpartum complications by 20…40%. The service period decreased by 28.2…43.6% day, and the insemination index – by 0.8, compared to the control. Biochemical studies of blood in animals of the first and second experimental groups after calving revealed an excess of glucose concentration by 6,3...15,8%,  of carotene – by 23,5...47%, albumins – by 8,2...4,8% and of albumin/globulin ratios – by 7,9...11%, respectively, in comparison with the control group. It probably indicates a more rapid recovery of metabolism and a decrease in inflammatory processes in the genital organs of cows.

Research goals. To study the effectiveness of RGD-peptide modification of the small-diameter biodegradable vascular grafts depending on the type of a linker and RGD configuration.Material and Methods. Tubular scaffolds with a diameter of 1.5 and 4.0 mm were produced by electrospinning from polyhydroxybutyrate/valerate (PHBV) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The PHBV/PCL grafts were modified with RGD peptides. In vitro experiments showed the degree of erythrocyte hemolysis and adhesion of the platelets and endothelial cells when in contact with a modified surface. The physico-mechanical properties and the structure of graft surface were studied before and after modification. The PHBV/PCL and PHBV/PCL/RGD vascular grafts were implanted into the abdominal aorta of rats for the periods of 1 and 3 months. Explant samples were studied using confocal microscopy and histological methods.Results. The results of physical and mechanical tests showed a significant decrease in the strength properties of the PHBV/PCL/RGD grafts relative to the unmodified analogs. A significant increase in platelet aggregation was found in the modified grafts. The level of adhesion of the endothelial cells on the modified surfaces was higher than that on the unmodified surfaces. Shortterm implantation of the grafts for 1 and 3 months showed that the modified grafts had higher patency and a less tendency to calcification compared with the unmodified grafts. Immunofluorescence study demonstrated the significant superiority of the modified vascular grafts in terms of stimulating the formation of a mature endothelial monolayer. A longer linker of 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecane diamine was found to increase the bioavailability of RGD peptides; the use of RGDK and c[RGDFK] for surface modification of the grafts stimulated early endothelialization of the internal surface of the implants and reduced the prosthetic wall calcification tendency, which together increased the patency of the implanted grafts.Conclusion. In short-term implantation of biodegradable vascular grafts modified with RGD peptides, the grafts with RGDK and c[RGDFK], attached to the surface of the prostheses through the 4,7,10-triox-1,13-tridecane diamine linker, showed the best results in terms of endothelial adhesion and maintenance of the viability of the endothelial cells in vitro and endothelialization in vivo; these grafts had high patency after implantation into the bloodstream of small laboratory animals and a less tendency to calcification.

Background. The morpho-functional integrity of the structures of the wall of the venous conduit during coronary artery bypass grafting is the guarantor of the functioning of autovenous bypass grafts in the long-term period. Allocating a vein in a flap with surrounding tissues ensures minimal effect on the vein with better results in the long-term, but it increases the risk of wound complications. Endoscopic vein harvesting contributes to a significant reduction in wound complications. However, according to literary data, this technique can negatively affect the bypass grafts passability due to the effects of mechanical manipulations and exposure to carbon dioxide. Previously, we developed a method for the endoscopic vein extraction in a flap with surrounding tissues that does not require carbon dioxide insufflation.Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the morphological and functional changes in the vein fragments harvested by the new original endoscopic method compared to the traditional open harvesting technique.Material and Methods. The fragments of the great saphenous vein were studied after endoscopic and open harvesting. From the access in the knee area, a 3–5 cm fragment of the vein was openly harvested and was then used for the biopsy in the control group. Next, the vein was harvested endoscopically and the fragments of this part of the vein comprised the study group. Light microscopy of the sections, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, was performed to assess the structural integrity of the venous walls; the expression of CD 31 and E-Cadherin was determined immunohistochemically to assess the viability and function of the endothelium.Results. The results of histological study suggested that the endothelium was more intact in the segments harvested endoscopically; moreover, immunohistochemistry data showed that the endothelium was more viable in these segments.

Aim. The first experience of the application of the integration algorithm for computed tomography of the heart with the navigation system “Astrocard” (Russia) when performing radiofrequency ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter.Material and Methods. A total of 31 patients with atrial fibrillation and two patients with atypical left atrial flutter were subjected to electroanatomical reconstruction of the left atrium and pulmonary veins with computed tomography of the heart. In patients with atrial fibrillation, an ablation scheme involved for antral isolation of the pulmonary veins. In patients with atypical left atrial flutter, linear ablation was applied in the area of slow conduction. The duration of the operation was 58±14.5 min, and the time of fluoroscopy was 33±8 min.Conclusion. The merge function of the “Astrocard” navigation mapping system (Russia) provided an accurate comparison of the electroanatomical map with the computed tomography of the heart, which allowed us to minimize the time of fluoroscopy and the time of operation.
FLEXIBLE RINGS IN COMPARISON WITH RIGID RINGS IN THE TREATMENT OF FUNCTIONAL TRICUSPID INSUFFICIENCY: TWO DIFFERENT MODELS OF REVERSE REMODELING OF THE RIGHT HEART

Objective. To compare the models of reverse remodeling of the right heart after the tricuspid valve repair with rigid or flexible rings.Material and Methods. During the period from September, 2016 to February, 2018, 308 patients who had indications for intervention on the mitral valve and concomitant tricuspid insufficiency without significant differences in clinical status were randomized into two groups. Patients of both groups underwent intervention on the mitral valve with concomitant tricuspid valve repair by a rigid ring (Rigid group, n=154) or a flexible ring (Flex group, n=154)Results. The perioperative mortality rates were 2.0% in the Rigid group and 2.5% in the Flex group (p=0.504). There was no difference in the pacemaker implantation rate (5.1% vs. 2.6%, p=0.238). Freedom from tricuspid insufficiency recurrence at 12 months follow-up was comparable (96.7% in the Rigid group vs 96.1% in the Flex group, p=0.521). The global systolic function of the right ventricle (fractional change in area, FAC; ejection fraction, EF) significantly increased in both groups (p<0.001 for both group) without significant intergroup differences (p=0.231 for FAC; p=0.156 for EF). Intergroup comparison of the regional systolic function (systolic excursion tricuspid valve, TAPSE; longitudinal velocity of the tricuspid valve, S’) showed that patients of the Flex group had significantly higher increases in the parameters (p<0.001 for TAPSE; p=0.002 for S’).Conclusion. Both types of the devises had low rates of recurrence of tricuspid insufficiency at the midterm follow-up and contributed to the restoration of the global systolic function of the right ventricle. However, the rigid rings due to their design fix the tricuspid valve annulus, which inevitably affects the regional systolic function. In perspective, the flexible rings can function without interfering with the restoration of the natural shape of the tricuspid valve annulus and its uniform contraction during the cardiac cycle, thus ensuring a significant increase in regional systolic function.

En general, los protocolos de tratamiento y de enseñanza-aprendizaje con este tipo de herramienta se han creado para países desarrollados, donde se realizan la mayor parte de las investigaciones, pero recientemente se llevó a cabo un proceso de este tipo en el que se usó RV en República Dominicana para tratar el trastorno de pánico con agorafobia. Para los propósitos de este estudio se utilizaron varias estrategias del aprendizaje activo y se analizaron las perspectivas e impresiones de estudiantes universitarios dominicanos de Psicología a partir del uso de la RV como herramienta didáctica y terapéutica. Los resultados fueron congruentes con la literatura existente: los estudiantes mostraron temor y ansiedad a los efectos del dispositivo, prefirieron las técnicas experienciales y valoraron los momentos de desahogo. De todos modos, la RV se posicionó como una herramienta de aprendizaje activo valorada favorablemente por los estudiantes. Como conclusión, se discutieron las implicaciones de las perspectivas de los estudiantes y se ofrecieron sugerencias para futuros estudios y líneas de investigación.
La dinámica estudiante-profesor. Vivencias de un maestro
Authors: Maza, S.J. Manuel
Published: July 2019

La tarea educativa es enormemente delicada, pues no podemos educar sin intercambiar continua y profundamente lo que hacemos. En la relación estudiantes-docente nadie crea ni logra, de una vez por todas, un ambiente sano y constructivo en el aula. Esa relación estudiante-profesor, construida día a día, es fruto de múltiples transacciones y de un intercambio prolongado con sus enfrentamientos y consensos.

La evaluación de los aprendizajes
Authors: Valeirón Leo
Published: July 2019

La evaluación educativa tiene por finalidad permitirnos conocer el grado y calidad con que hemos alcanzado los propósitos educativos. Estos buscan promover en los estudiantes el desarrollo de capacidades y destrezas que les permitan responder con eficacia y efectividad las demandas del entorno y la sociedad. Tanto en los procesos educativos como en la evaluación hay un conjunto de supuestos, explícitos o no, sobre las personas y la manera cómo estas aprenden. Hacer congruentes la actividad educativa y evaluativa con estos supuestos es importante. La evaluación debe atravesar todo el proceso educativo, desde el principio hasta el final. Los maestros hacen un uso continuo de las evaluaciones de ensayo y las llamadas pruebas objetivas. Conocerlas bien para su uso es importante, como también conocer otras formas de evaluación.

Tecnología, educación y humanismo
Authors: Coste Polanco, S.J. Serafín
Published: July 2019

Uno de los retos del mundo actual consiste en encontrar el paso de una sociedad de la tecnología y de la información, a una sociedad del conocimiento permanente. La formulación del nuevo conocimiento radica en acompañar a las personas e instituciones a surcar, desde los grandes cambios producidos por las tecnologías y la información, el camino que dignifica, a fin de que lleguen a ser lo que pueden y deben ser. Humanizar la tecnología requiere de docentes y directivos conscientes de su liderazgo en el servicio, con capacidades de gestión y con claridad sobre su propio proyecto educativo.

Notas para pensar la educación en términos narrativos
Authors: Moratalla Tomás Domingo , Mella, S.J. Pablo
Published: July 2019

La reflexión sobre la educación puede plantearse desde distintas perspectivas filosóficas. Asumiendo la filosofía narrativa de Paul Ricoeur, el artículo esboza un abordaje narrativo de la educación. En una “educación narrativa”, la construcción del conocimiento que se verifica en el aula aparece asociada a la construcción de la identidad, y, en definitiva, a la vida misma, de todas las personas implicadas en el proceso educativo. Renunciando a un concepto logocéntrico de inteligencia, se propone educar en una “inteligencia narrativa” que forma a sujetos prudentes capaces de interactuar en contextos tan cambiantes como los actuales, signados por la interculturalidad y el pluralismo de visiones del mundo.
Leer la Mater et Magistra con la Mater et Magistra
Authors: Mella, S.J. Pablo
Published: July 2019

Lo que intento decir en estas páginas es que la Mater et Magistra de Juan XXIII nos enseña un método de lectura de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia que me parece el más apropiado para hacer del magisterio social de nuestra Iglesia un aliado en nuestro caminar, como cristianos y cristianas comprometidos con una sociedad más justa. No puede la Iglesia ser “madre y maestra” si, en dialogo esotérico con su propio lenguaje, es incapaz de hablar significativamente a los seres humanos del tiempo presente.
El currículo de la PUCMM y la educación de la conciencia social a la luz de la Encíclica Mater et Magistra
Authors: De la Cruz P. Ramón Alfredo
Published: July 2019

Este artículo ofrece una visión general de lo social como eje transversal de la Encíclica Mater et Magistra, lo cual permite un acercamiento al currículo de la Pontifica Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra. Se pregunta si el currículo de la PUCMM fomenta en sus estudiantes y docentes la conciencia social, como una actitud que lleva a la persona humana a actuar buscando siempre el bien del otro, su crecimiento y promoción. Es, sin duda, algo arriesgado y a la vez desafiante, pues como universidad le corresponde su rol de profesionalizar. Sin embargo, su misión como universidad católica la obliga a no olvidar que la profesionalización será tal, si promueve el crecimiento en el ser humano y si los estudiantes, al terminar sus estudios, evidencian una clara conciencia social.

Prácticas y representaciones de la escritura en la universidad: los casos de Australia, Canadá, E.E.U.U y Argentina
Authors: Carlino Paula
Published: July 2019

Se presenta un estudio cualitativo que contrasta las formas de ocuparse de la enseñanza de la escritura en universidades anglosajonas y argentinas. Los datos, predominantemente documentales, fueron recogidos entre 1999 y 2002. Las diferencias encontradas conciernen a qué se hace (si y cómo se ocupa la universidad de enseñar a escribir ) y cómo se lo fundamenta (naturaleza y función atribuidas a la escritura, concepción sobre el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de la escritura, y sobre los estudiantes universitarios). Este estudio comparado puede aportar al diseño curricular de los estudios superiores y a la planificación de acciones de desarrollo profesional docente.
