Published: May 2018

Aim: The goal of this work was to present our experiences and results of treatment of gastric tumors using the per oral
specimen extraction (POSE) technique.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis a group of patients treated with laparoscopic stomach wedge resection
of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). During that time 50 patients underwent laparoscopy due to the suspicion
of GIST. In 12 patients resected material was removed endoscopically per os (POSE). In the remaining 38 subjects
it was evacuated through minilaparotomy. Mean age of patients treated using POSE technique was 65.6 years (48-81
years). There were 9 women and 3 men in this group Results: Mean time of the POSE procedure was 92.5 min (40-160 min). Size of removed tumors ranged from 14 mm to
40 mm (mean: 25 mm). The mean length of hospital stay was 3.2 days (2 to 8 days) for patients treated with POSE. One
patient (8.3%) required longer hospitalization (8 days) due to the presence of a fluid collection at the site of gastric
suture. This patient was treated conservatively. One patient (8.3%) was diagnosed with surgical site infection (navel
wound after an optical trocar). Histopathological examination confirmed radical excision in all of our patients (R0).
Conclusions: It seems that the POSE technique is the next stage of development of minimally invasive surgery and
may constitute a link in evolution of natural orifice translumenal surgery techniques. Removal of excised material
through oral cavity is an attractive, effective, and safe method despite its many limitations.

Published: May 2018

Penetrating traumas of the facial skeleton are relatively rare; however, they can be dangerous and even life-threatening. The epidemiology of facial skeleton trauma is diverse and depends on the affected region, age, and the kind of foreign body that caused the injury. In Poland, the most common cause of penetrating traumas are accidents and assaults, and only rarely accidents are related to improper use of firecrackers or fireworks. The aim of this study is to present a literature review and our own experience with penetrating traumas of the face and the facial part of the cranium. Six cases with severe wounds and fractures of the facial skeleton were treated between the years 2000 and 2012 in our department. The applied treatment methods depended mainly on the general condition of the patients. In all cases, we achieved acceptable functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Authors: Sopiński Jan , Kuzdak Krzysztof , Hedayati Masoud , Kołomecki Krzysztof
Published: May 2018

Reoperations of the thyroid gland are challenging to any surgeon. Such procedures are technically difficult and involve higher
risk of complications than primary procedures. Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy is one of such complications
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in preventing RLN palsy
during recurrent goiter operations.
Material and methods. We retrospectively analyzed the results of thyroid reoperation performed at the Department of Endocrine,
General and Vascular Surgery of Medical University of Lodz in the period from January 2014 to June 2016. The study
included 80 patients, who were divided into 2 groups: group A consisted of 27 patients, who had undergone surgery with the
use of IONM, while group B included 53 patients, in whom RLN was identified visually. During statistical analysis we took into
account the number of nerves at risk, not the number of patients. There were 47 nerves at risk In group A and 86 in group B.
We analyzed whether application of IONM had any effect on the frequency of RLN palsy and procedure duration.
Results. The frequency of RLN palsy was 10.64% (5/47) in group A and 15.12% (13/86) in group B (no statistical significance,
p=0,47). Mean operation time was shorter in group B 71.29 ± 17.125 minutes vs. 75.75 ± 17.94 minutes in group A (no statistical
significance, p=0,377).
Conclusion. Use of IONM did not significantly reduce the occurrence of RLN palsy and procedure duration.

Authors: Pohranychna Kh. R. , Stasyshyn A.R. , Matolych U.D.
Published: May 2018

A rapidly increasing number of mandibular condylar fractures and some complications related to injuries of temporomandibular elements make this study important. Intra-articular disorders lead to secondary pathological findings such as osteoarthritis, deforming osteoarthrosis, and temporomandibular joint ankylosis that limits mouth opening, mastication, swallowing, breathing, and decreased/lost working capacity or disability. Early diagnosis of intra-articular disorders can prevent from long-lasting functional complications caused by temporomandibular joint injuries.
This study was performed for the purpose of early detection and investigation of organic pathological changes in the cartilaginous and osseous tissues of the temporomandibular joint caused by traumatic fractures of the mandibular condyle. Twenty patients underwent a general clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and immune-enzyme testing for biochemical markers of connective tissue injury (pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline) in urine. Disk dislocation, deformation, adhesion, perforation or squeeze, tension or disruption of ligaments, and injury of articular surfaces are among complications of mandibular fractures that can be revealed on MRI. As regards biochemical findings, we revealed a sharp rise in the levels of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline before treatment and a lack of stabilization within 21 days of treatment.

Authors: Nowicki Andrzej , Graczyk Paulina , Lemanowicz Marzena
Published: May 2018

Summary: Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world, as well as one of the cancers with the most fatal prognosis. The acceptance of the disease is the most important element of the adaptive process. The better the illness acceptance, the lower the stress level and the higher the self-esteem, which facilitates the adaptation to the health status. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the acceptance of the disease in patients before and after lung cancer surgery. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in 2016 at the Center of Oncology in Bydgoszcz and the Kuyavian and Pomeranian Pulmonology Center in Bydgoszcz. The study involved 87 patients who were assessed both before and after lung cancer surgery. The original questionnaire, as well as the Acceptance of Illness Scale, were used. Results: Men accounted for 75% of the probands, 65% of the study population were 50-69 years old. The highest number of patients – 25 (28.7%) had a 5-pack-year history, and the lowest amount of patients – 8 (9.2%) had a 2.5-pack-year history. The level of acceptance of illness before and after surgery differed in 58 persons. In 29, the level of acceptance remained the same, in 45, the level of acceptance decreased, and in 13 – it increased. Before surgery, the mean acceptance of illness score was 26.2 points, and after surgery – 20.89 points. The patients both after and before surgery had acceptance of illness scores regardless of their gender, age, education, place of residence or occupational activity. Conclusions: In more than a half of the patients, the acceptance of illness decreases after surgery and is at an average level. Male patients, patients aged 50-69 years, with primary, middle or vocational education, employed persons show a significantly worse illness acceptance, regardless of their place of residence, and occupational activity do not influence the acceptance of the disease.

Authors: Sznajder Janusz , Ślefarska-Wasilewska Marta , Wójcik Piotr
Published: May 2018

Enteral feeding in the home environment is connected with creating access to digestive tract, and thanks to that, this kind of treatment is possible. The gold standard in enteral nutrition is PEG, other types of access are: nasogastric tube, gastronomy and jejunostomy. In the article 851 patients who were treated nutritionally in the home environment, in the nutrition clinic, Nutrimed Górny Śląsk, were analyzed. It was described how, in practice, the schedule of nutrition access looks like in the nutrition clinic at a time of qualifying patients to the treatment (PEG 47,35%, gastronomy 18,91%, nasogastric tube 17,39%,jejunostomy 16,33%) and how it changes among patients treated in the nutrition clinic during specific period of time – to the treatment there were qualified patients with at least three-month period of therapy ( second evaluation: PEG 37,01%, gastrostomy 31,13%, nasogastric tube 16,98%, jejunostomy 15,86%). The structure of changes was described, also the routine and the place in what exchanging or changing nutrition access was analyzed. Conclusions: The biggest changes in quantity, among all groups of ill people concerned patients with PEG and gastronomy. In most cases the intervention connected with exchanging access to the digestive tract could be implemented at patient’s home.
Do we need changes in the organization of training in the hernia treatment in Poland? A survey on the acknowledgment of the recommendations of international hernia societies by surgeons

Published: May 2018

In the therapy of an inguinal hernia, there is a huge variety in the way of treating and the choice of surgical technique. Practice shows
that the intraoperative improvisation and surgeons’ own modifications of the original techniques have become part of routine procedure.
No mandatory hernia registration system causes the actual detailed herniology status in our country remains unknown. The
aim of the study was to summarize the results of a survey on knowledge of a hernia according to the standards developed by international
hernia societies compared with everyday clinical practice. During the International Conference Hernia in Poland, which took
place on 10 December 2016 in Zakopane we conducted an interactive session among 106 surgeons dealing with hernias. Surgeons
responded to 66 questions about daily surgical practice and decision making in their centers, and 27 questions for the assessment of
the world’s latest treatment recommendations regarding groin hernias. The most common method of using the implant technique
Lichtenstein, used by 91% of doctors. 20% of surgeons in planned operations in adult men routinely uses no mesh technique. Almost
80% of respondents do not apply TEP or TAPP. Only 45.7% of surgeons customize surgical technique to the patient. Only 7 of the 27
analyzed recommendation has been accepted by more than 90% of respondents. 9 of the 27 recommendations were approved by
less than half of the surgeons. In the case of 11 recommendations, surgeons simultaneously failed to comply with these recommendations
in daily practice. Deficiencies in the system of training and the underfunding of medical procedures cause insufficient TAPP/
TEP availability in Poland in an inguinal hernia. Improvement of the surgeons’ knowledge on how to perform surgery

Published: May 2018

Pancreatic cancer is often fatal due to delayed diagnosis and treatment difficulties. Objective: To analyze selected SPINK1, CTRC, CFTR, and PRSS1 gene mutations in cancer tissue and blood samples of patients with pancreatic tumors. Materials and method: We enrolled 16 consecutive patients diagnosed with pancreatic tumors. We collected cancer tissue, normal pancreatic tissue, and blood samples for genetic tests. The control group consisted of 419 healthy individuals. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all study participants in EDTA-coated tubes. Results: Out of 16 patients with pancreatic tumors, 12 had pancreatic cancer on microscopic examination (mean age, 60.2 years). The CTRC polymorphism Hetero p.G60=(c.180C>T) was found in 5 patients with pancreatic cancer (41.7% vs. 18.6% in the control group). One patient with pancreatic cancer and a positive family history had the SPINK1 (p.N34S) mutation [8.3% vs. 2.9% (12/419) in the control group]. One patient with pancreatic cancer had the CTRC (p.R254W) mutation [8.3% vs. 1% (4/419) in the control group]. Conclusions: Our preliminary results show that the CTRC polymorphism p.G60= (c.180C>T) is frequent in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, further research is needed to verify our findings.

Authors: Wiśniewski Karol , Tomasik Bartłomiej , Bobeff Ernest J. , Stefańczyk Ludomir , Jaskólski Dariusz J.
Published: May 2018

Introduction. Posterior circulation aneurysms account for approximately 30% of all intracranial aneurysms, and their rupture often causes aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Because surgical treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms is difficult, endovascular treatment is commonly indicated. However, simple coil embolization is associated with a high rate of recanalization. Our goal was to investigate morphometric aneurysmal features assessed on pre-embolization computed tomography angiography (CTA) as predictors of recanalization in patients with posterior circulation aneurysms. Material and Methods. We retrospectively analyzed data of 24 patients who underwent coil embolization due to rupture of saccular posterior circulation aneurysms. The morphometric features of aneurysms were measured based on pre-embolization 3D-CTA-aneurysm models, and aneurysmal size and volume were measured on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images. The effectiveness of initial endovascular treatment was determined visually with the modified Raymond Roy classification directly after embolization and on follow-up DSAs. Recanalization was diagnosed when, compared to the primary embolization aneurysm appearance, compaction and filling of the aneurysm occurred. Statistical analysis was performed with Statistica 13.1 software. Results. Higher maximal aneurysm height perpendicular to the aneurysmal neck was associated with a greater aneurysm recanalization risk (12.12±5.13mm vs. 7.41±3.97mm, p=0.039), and this relationship remained significant after adjustment for patient’s age, sex and aneurysm localization (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.01-1.60, p=0.047). Maximal aneurysm height perpendicular to the aneurysmal neck distinguished well between recanalized and non-recanalized aneurysms (AUC=0.755, 95%CI: 0.521- 0.989, p=0.033). Conclusions. Predictors of aneurysm recanalization can help choose best endovascular treatment strategies, which could reduce complication rates.

Published: May 2018

Background: Clear cell carcinoma in scars after cesarean section is extremely rare, with only 22 cases reported in the literature. Management of this condition needs to be further explored. Here, we report of a patient with clear cell carcinoma of the abdominal wall that developed 35 years after cesarean section. Case Report: The material of the study was a group of 61 patients divided into two groups. Group I – 35 deaf or with profound sensorineural hearing loss children (the pupils of the deaf and hard of hearing school), aged 5–17 years (average 9,2 years), 14 males, 21 females, II – control group comprised 26 normal hearing patients, aged 5–16 years (average 10,4 years), 14 males, 12 females (patients of Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Audiology and Phoniatrics, Medical University of Lodz). In both groups, exon 2 sequencing of GJB2 gene was performed. Results. A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our department due to abdominal pain and a progressively growing mass in the abdominal wall. Based on biopsy, a preliminary diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma was made. A wide surgical excision of the tumor with clear margins, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and abdominal wall reconstruction using synthetic mesh were performed. The patient was discharged in good condition after fifteen days of hospitalization. The patient remained recurrence-free 6 months after the treatment. Conclusions: T Lack of standardized management of rare malignant transformations hinders patient care. Due to a growing number of cesarean deliveries, we can expect clear cell carcinoma prevalence of the abdominal wall to increase. Therefore, patients and clinicians should attend to any pain, itching, or change in the size of abdominal wall scars.

Published: May 2018

Summary: The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of renal venous system congenital anomalies in the Polish population. Material and method: Vascular kidney samples were investigated by means of preparations and X-ray contrasting. The study the group comprised 281 male and 269 female specimens. Results: Congenital anomalies were diagnosed in 186 patients (33 8% of all cases), and they were more frequent in men than in women, albeit that difference was non-significant. The following anomalies were most commonly observed: multiple venous variations on the right side (20.4%), retroaortic course of the left renal vein (4.2%), and circumaortic venous ring of the left renal vein (3.8%). Other anomalies were diagnosed in 1%-2% of cases. Conclusions: Awareness and preoperative assessment of the venous system before abdominal aortic surgery, isolated collection of renal venous blood samples, and urological or kidney transplantation procedures is essential.

Degloving injury poses a severe therapeutic challenge concerning both trauma and plastic surgery. The injury involves separation of skin and subcutaneous tissue from fascia and muscles. Treatment is often long-lasting and brings unsatisfying results due to the extent of damage, risk of infection and massive blood loss. In this article, we present the management and therapeutic outcomes of a patient admitted due to the degloving injury of the lower extremity caused by workplace accident. We described the complexity of treatment including surgical intervention as well as additional treatment, which combined brought good esthetic outcome.
The relationship between chest pain and level of perioperative anxiety in patients with lung cancer
Authors: Malinowska Katarzyna
Published: May 2018

Introduction: Chest pain is one of the symptoms of lung cancer.Chest pain disrupts patient’s functioning in somatic and psychic area. Purpose: Whether the existence of chest pain affects the level of perioperative anxiety in lung cancer patients. Is there a relationship between everyday functioning due to the chest pain and the level of perioperative anxiety? Is there a relation between anxiety associated with pain and gender? What is the cause of anxiety in this group of the patiens? Methodology: The study was conducted among 150 patients with lung cancer before the scheduled surgery. Data was collected with the use of questionnaire assessment of perioperative anxiety level in patients with lung cancer. Results: The chest pain before the surgery was confirmed by 63 (42%) patients, in case of 87 (58%) patients it was not identified. Chest pain was in case of 48% women and 36% men. 50 (33,3%) research participants who experienced chest pain and 35 patients (23,3%) without this symptom declared experiencing perioperative anxiety. In patients with lung cancer, the correlation: between chest pain and perioperative anxiety was (Z = -4.67; p< .001); between the difficult daily functioning of pain and perioperative anxiety was (Z = -4.72; p< .001); between gender and perioperative anxiety associated with pain was (Z = -3.24; p = 001).Patients afraid of: pain (37,3%), breathing problems (24,0%), physical disability (16,0%), eating problems (12,0%) sleep disorders (9,3%), nothing (1,3%). Conclusions: Patients with chest pain exhibited significantly higher of perioperative anxiety levels than non-symptomatic patients, as well as higher anxiety levels due to deteriorated daily functioning caused by the disorder. Women had a higher level of anxiety associated with pain than men before the surgery. Patients with lung cancer were most afraid of pain in the perioperative period.

Published: May 2018

Pancreatic fistula is one of the most severe complications after pancreatic surgeries. The risk of pancreatic fistula after distal
pancreatectomy is up to 60%. Effective methods to prevent pancreatic fistula are still sought. A unified definition of pancreatic
fistula, which was introduced in 2005 by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS), has allowed for an
easier diagnosis and determination of fistula severity, as well as for a reliable inter-center comparison of data. Furthermore,
a number of publications point out the risk factors of pancreatic fistula, which may be classified into patient-related risk factors,
such as MBI, gender, smoking tobacco or pancreatic structure; and surgery-related risk factors, such as blood loss, prolonged
surgery and non-underpinning of the major pancreatic duct. The analysis of risk factors and the use of different methods
for the prevention of pancreatic fistula, including novel surgical techniques, may reduce both, the formation and severity
of fistula. This will, in turn, lead to reduced secondary complications and mortality, as well as a shorter hospital stay. We present
a literature review on different strategies used to prevent pancreatic fistula. It seems, however, that multicenter, prospective,
randomized studies in two large groups of patients after pancreatectomy are necessary to establish clear recommendations
for the preventive management.

Authors: Osuch-Wójcikiewicz Ewa , Rzepakowska Anna , Krupa Zuzanna , Durmaj Aneta , Niemczyk Kazimierz
Published: May 2018

Introduction: Parapharyngeal space (PPS) is the anatomical area lateral to the upper pharynx and clinically important due to PPS tumors. They account for less than 1% of head and neck neoplasms. Both benign and malignant neoplasms may arise there and typical for this localization is diversity of histological origin. Complete surgical excision is still the basis of treatment. Aim of the study: Evaluation of the results of surgical treatment of PPS tumors in the Department of Otolaryngology at the Medical University over the period 2015-2017. Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records including complaints, physical examination, results of imaging studies, surgical approach, postoperative complication and histopathological results in 22 patients with a diagnosis of a PPS tumors. Results: The most frequent complaints reported by the patients were: discomfort in the throat, dysphagia, hearing disorders and a palpable tumor on the neck. Asymptomatic course of the disease was demonstrated in 4 cases. All patients were treated surgically: 2 with transoral approach, 9 with transparotid-transcervical approach, 11 with transcervical approach. In most cases the tumor was removed radically. In 2 patients intracapsular tumor resection was performed. Based on histopathological examination the benign lesions dominated (18/22). In 4 cases malignant neoplasms were diagnosed: carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and two cases of squamous cell carcinoma. The most common origin of PPS tumors was deep lobe of parotid gland and for this group 11 patients had diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. Other diagnosis included: paraganglioma, neurofibroma, hemangioma, lymphangioma and rhabdomyoma. Postoperative complications occurred in 9 patients and presented as hoarseness and dysphagia due to paresis of the lower group of cranial nerves (IX, X, XII). Significant intraoperative bleeding during surgery occurred in 2 cases and ligation of the external carotid artery was necessary. Conclusion: Due to the anatomical topography of PPS and its content with the essential vessels and the lower group of cranial nerves, the surgical treatment of pathology of this area is still a challenge for head and neck surgeons. The decrease of voice quality and impaired speech and swallowing should always be considered as complications post the surgical resection in PPS.
High-Throughput Quantitation of Neonicotinoids in Lyophilized Surface Water by LC-APCI-MS/MS
Authors: Morrison Lucas M , Renaud Justin B , Sabourin Lyne , Sumarah Mark W , Yeung Ken K C , Lapen David R
Published: May 2018

Background: Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticides. Recently, there has been concern associated with unintended adverse effects on honeybees and aquatic invertebrates at low parts-per-trillion levels. Objective: There is a need for LC-MS/MS methods that are capable of high-throughput measurements of the most widely used neonicotinoids at environmentally relevant concentrations in surface water. Methods: This method allows for quantitation of acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam in surface water. Deuterated internal standards are added to 20 mL environmental samples, which are concentrated by lyophilisation and reconstituted with methanol followed by acetonitrile. Results: A large variation of mean recovery efficiencies across five different surface water sampling sites within this study was observed, ranging from 45 to 74%. This demonstrated the need for labelled internal standards to compensate for these differences. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) performed better than electrospray ionization (ESI) with limited matrix suppression, achieving 71–110% of the laboratory fortified blank signal. Neonicotinoids were resolved on a C18 column using a 5 min LC method, in which MQL ranged between 0.93 and 4.88 ng/L. Conclusions: This method enables cost effective, accurate, and reproducible monitoring of these pesticides in the aquatic environment. Highlights: Lyophilization is used for high throughput concentration of neonicotinoids in surface water. Variations in matrix effects between samples was greatly reduced by using APCI compared with ESI. Clothianidin and thiamethoxam were detected in all samples with levels ranging from below method quantitation limit to 65 ng/L.

Motivado pelo desenvolvimento dos estudos sobre Geopatrimônio e da crescente demanda por inclusão de novos aspectos e espaços potenciais para a aplicação desta temática, o presente estudo apresenta um levantamento de canais derivados multifuncionais (levadas e regos d’água) como possíveis locais de interesse para a abordagem de geosítios. Os canais investigados se encontram no noroeste de Portugal e na região central do Brasil, tendo sido classificados, quanto ao potencial para a exploração de elementos ligados ao geopatrimônio. Foram levantadas as potencialidades e problemáticas relativas ao desenvolvimento do geoturismo nas áreas atendidas por estes canais, sobretudo quanto aos aspectos da geodiversidade, de forma que, inspirado na abertura de percursos para pedestres, fossem os mesmos valorizados. Os resultados sugerem que Portugal está adiantado em relação ao Brasil, quanto ao desenvolvimento de práticas turísticas atreladas aos canais artificiais, principalmente pela existência de propostas ou mesmo ambientes consolidados para o desenvolvimento de percursos de pedestres. Contudo, o foco na geodiversidade ainda é pequeno para todos os locais visitados, havendo potencial para o desenvolvimento de novas formas de interação entre observadores e os elementos da paisagem. Este estudo oferece, ainda, contribuições para que sejam iniciados debates e abordagens para possíveis aberturas de novas áreas de interesse geopatrimonial a partir dos canais artificiais.
A interdisciplinaridade: o olhar da Análise do Discurso e a Psicologia de Freud
Authors: Sabino Juliana Lopes Melo Ferreira
Published: May 2018

O presente estudo busca estabelecer um diálogo entre duas áreas do conhecimento, a de Letras, em especial, a Análise do discurso francesa e o olhar da Psicologia de Freud, áreas cujo diálogo poderá permitir uma análise reflexiva sobre as diferentes abordagens possíveis de um objeto que, em si, é marcado pela complexidade. O nosso corpus selecionado para este estudo busca refletir sobre um dos episódios do programa “Jornal Sensacionalista”, transmitido pelo canal televisivo Multishow. Propomos uma abordagem discursiva da linguagem, a transgressão de gêneros – o discurso/programa humorístico com formato de um telejornal - e o desenvolvimento psicológico da mulher a partir das contribuições de Freud, ao discutirmos a dupla jornada da mulher tanto no episódioquanto em uma matéria da revista Isto é. Analisaremos essa rede de fazer e refazer, em que “textos” outrora distantes se aproximam. Mais que uma relação entre pessoas, a interação que se percebe está entre visões de mundo, entre discursos etc., formando o interdiscurso, isto é, relação entre enunciados. Discutiremos sobre a recorrência ao humor nesse programa, que talvez possa ser um modo mais eficaz de criticar indiretamente as instâncias do poder e os fatos que ocorrem no mundo, possibilitando a seu público o acesso a assuntos do mundo que de outra forma, a séria, possivelmente, não poderiam ser discutidos. Acreditamos que as contribuições da Psicologia social, especificamente a abordagem sobre a noção de feminino, atrelada às relações afetivas, de reprodução e trabalhista da mulher poderão corroborar as discussões tecidas ao longo deste estudo.Palavras-chave: Psicologia.

The Methodological Rationale of Thomas Sekine
Authors: Versieren Jelle ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: May 2018

The unique conceptual status of Thomas Sekine’s approach to Marx’s Capital and capitalism, heavily indebted to Kōzō Uno’s work, will be analyzed by setting against its own theoretical counterparts, orthodox dialectical materialism. It will also be shown that Sekine’s critique of dialectical materialism differs from other neo-Hegelian perspectives or Althusser’s anti-Hegelian structuralism. These comparisons unearth Sekine’s concealed epistemological preoccupations: totality, subsumption of labor, self-commodification, historical indeterminacy and the logico-historical error. Last, Sekine also considered neoclassical economics as another form of unfounded orthodoxy both in conceptual and empirical terms, which he emphasizes in his analysis of the current phenomenon of financialization.
How to Deal with Kant's Racism—In and Out of the Classroom
Authors: Abundez-Guerra Victor Fabian ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2018

The question of how we should engage with a philosopher’s racial thought is of particular importance when considering Kant, who can be viewed as particularly representative of Enlightenment philosophy. In this article I argue that we should take a stance of deep acknowledgment when considering Kant’s work both inside and outside the classroom. Taking a stance of deep acknowledgment should be understood as 1) taking Kant’s racial thought to be reflective of his moral character, 2) Kant being accountable for his racial thought and 3) being willing to consider the possibility that Kant’s racial thought is consistent with and inextricable from his moral philosophy. Alternative forms of engaging with Kant’s racial work have either moral or pedagogical failings, which range from simply teaching the history of philosophy uncritically to outright deception. A stance of deep acknowledgement will allow philosophers to understand how Kant’s racial thought interacts with his moral philosophy and allow instructors to teach philosophy in a historically contextualized approach so as to not alienate students whose demographic was disparaged by Kant.
¿Artesanía o cazador tras la huella?. Reflexiones para el análisis cualitativo de datos
Authors: San Martín Cantero Daniel
Published: May 2018

En las ciencias sociales se generan debates metodológicos que contribuyen a las formas de comprender la investigación social. En este ensayo se discute el modo de entender el rol del investigador frente a la aproximación y análisis del objeto/sujeto de estudio. El objetivo es cuestionar el uso de la metáfora del investigador como artesano. Esta imagen aparece en los años 50 para explicar la creatividad que requiere el proceso de investigación y análisis cualitativo de datos. Sin embargo, la metáfora del artesano representa una aproximación deductiva del investigador al sujeto/objeto de estudio. Por el contrario, el análisis cualitativo está orientado por procedimientos inductivos. Entonces, se propone la metáfora del cazador tras la presa, como un recurso con consistencia paradigmática y epistemológica que aporta a la comprensión y formación en investigación cualitativa.Within the social sciences, methodological debates contribute to the understanding of social research. This paper discusses one way of understanding the role of the investigator in relation to the approach and analysis of the object/subject of study. The objective is to question the use of the researcher's metaphor as a craftsman. This image appears in the 1950s in order to explain the creativity required by the research process and qualitative data analysis. However, the artisan's metaphor represents a deductive approximation of the researcher to the subject/object of study. On the contrary, the qualitative analysis is oriented by inductive procedures. The metaphor of the hunter after the prey is then proposed as a resource with a paradigmatic and epistemological consistency that contributes to the understanding and training in the qualitative research.
El proceso de investigación como sistema de problemas: una reconstrucción de su lógica y estructura basada en siete preguntas
Authors: Ralón Gonzalo
Published: May 2018

Se propone un modelo de análisis del proceso de investigación basado en siete preguntas básicas: qué, en quiénes o en qué cosas, dónde, cuándo, cómo, para qué y por qué investigar. El propósito es reconstruir la lógica que rige la definición de un fenómeno delimitado conceptual y espacio-temporalmente como un objeto, y también de los modos, objetivos y propósitos de la investigación. Estas siete preguntas constituyen un sistema de problemas básicos que, según la hipótesis de la unidad del método, dan cuenta de la estructura de todo proceso de investigación. Se sostiene esa hipótesis desde una perspectiva dialéctica, destacando algunas de las tensiones fundamentales que atraviesan el proceso entre: conocimiento disponible y conocimiento a obtener; contenidos teóricos, abstractos, generales y contenidos empíricos, concretos, singulares; conceptos científicos y nociones de sentido común. Además, se destacan algunas derivaciones prácticas que pueden aportar a la enseñanza de la metodología, así como a la planificación y formulación de un proyecto, ejemplificado con un proyecto en el campo interdisciplinario de las Ciencias Sociales del Trabajo.A model of analysis about the research process as a whole is proposed based on seven basic questions: what, who or what things, where, when, how, for what purpose and why to investigate. The aim is to reconstruct the logic commanding the definition of a phenomenon individuated conceptually, spatiotemporally as an object of knowledge, and also the modes, objectives and purposes of an inquiry. These seven questions constitute a system of basic problems that, according to the hypothesis of a unified method, account for any research process. The said hypothesis is grounded on a dialectical perspective which highlights some of the fundamental tensions running through the process: available and attainable knowledge, theoretical, abstract and general contents as well as empirical, concrete and singular contents; scientific concepts and common sense. Moreoever, a number of practical consequences are highlighted which can contribute to the teaching of methodology, in addition to the planning and formulation of a research project. This is exemplified by an interdisciplinary research project in the Social Sciences of Labour.
Cien años de moneda en Castilla (1172-1268). El siglo del maravedí de oro
Authors: Oliva Manso Gonzalo
Published: May 2018

A lo largo del siglo que abarca nuestro trabajo estudiamos primero la documentación disponible para a continuación calcular matemáticamente las equivalencias que regían el sistema monetario. El cambio entre el maravedí de oro y los dineros de vellón estuvo sometido a constantes tensiones debidas a la creciente tendencia del oro a apreciarse respecto a la plata y a las manipulaciones unilaterales de los dineros por parte del rey. El cambio oficial no reflejaba estos cambios con la suficiente rapidez y los actores económicos empezaron a fijar sus propias condiciones en los negocios privados. Las distorsiones producidas en la economía por el intervencionismo regio fueron combatidas con más intrusión con la imposición de tasas de precios y prohibiciones a la exportación. Al final de nuestro período de estudio el maravedí alfonsí deja paso a la dobla como moneda de oro de referencia mientras los dineros de vellón inician un período de devaluaciones continuas.Firstly, we will analyze the documentation available, covering a time span of over a century, to calculate mathematically the rates within the monetary system on the basis of these sources. The exchange rate between the gold maravedí and the dinero de vellón was subjected to constant stresses due to the growing tendency of gold to appreciate with respect to silver and the unilateral manipulation of the value of the dinero by the king. The official exchange rate did not reflect these changes fast enough, and economic actors began to set their own conditions in their private transactions. The distortion produced in the economy by royal interventionism was fought with further encroachment through the implementation of price rates and export bans. At the end of our period of study, the maravedí alfonsí gave way to the dobla as the gold coin of reference, while the dinero de vellón began a period of constant devaluation.
Norma y conflicto en la navegación castellana bajomedieval = Norms and Conflict in Castilian Navigation during the Late Middle Ages

Este artículo es continuación del dedicado a las contiendas  ligadas a los daños producidos por la naturaleza o por la mano del hombre en las embarcaciones del Reino. La nueva entrega analiza las controversias nacidas de las relaciones humanas en el ámbito marítimo. Abarcan éstas las obligaciones establecidas entre patrones y maestres con sus tripulantes; las anudadas entre transportistas y cargadores; y las que ponían en relación a  mercaderes y transportistas con sus financieros. Consideraremos en primer lugar las pautas a aplicar, sean estas normativas o contractuales, para pasar luego a la contravención de las mismas y su resolución.This article is the continuation of a previous one dedicated to the study of disputes concerning damage produced by nature or caused by human agency in the ships of the kingdom of Castile. This article analyzes the controversy derived from human relations in the maritime sector. These include the obligations between captains and masters with their crew; those established between carriers and shippers; and those between merchants and carriers on the one hand and their financiers on the other. We will first consider the guidelines to be applied, be they normative or contractual, and later analyze their infringement and their resolution.
Un resumen del tratado jurídico de Al-Tafrī‘: el Manuscrito árabe 1233 del Monasterio de El Escorial y su supuesta relación con Leyes de Moros = A Summary of Al-Tafrī‘’s Legal Treaty: The Arab Manuscript 1233 of the Monastery of El Escorial and its Supposed Relation to Leyes de Moros

El manuscrito árabe 1233, de la Biblioteca del Real Monasterio de El Escorial y el manuscrito 1138 de la Biblioteca de al-Qarawiyyin en Fez contienen una copia completa de al-Sahl al-Badī’ fi Iḫtiṣār al-Tafrī‛ –que se traduciría por «El sencillo resumen adornado de al-Tafri’»-, una obra escrita por el alfaquí Ibn Ğamīl, del siglo XIV. El libro es un resumen del tratado jurídico de al-Tafrī‛ de Ibn al-Ğallāb, conocido y muy difundido desde al-Andalus omeya hasta el final de la época morisca en el siglo XVII. La hipótesis de trabajo consistía en ver la relación entre este resumen árabe y Leyes de Moros que es también un resumen de al-Tafrī‛ en romance castellano, sobre el que he publicado numerosos estudios.The Arabic manuscript 1233 from the Library of the Royal Monastery of El Escorial and manuscript 1138 from the al-Qarawiyyin Library in Fez contain a complete copy of al-Sahl al-Badī‛ fi ikhtiṣār al-Tafrī‛ -which would be translated as «The simple ornate summary of al-Tafrī‛ «, a work written by Ibn Ğamīl in the fourteenth century. The book is a summary of the legal treatise of al-Tafrī‛ of Ibn al-Ğallāb, well-known and widespread in al-Andalus from the Umayyad period until the end of the Morisco era in the seventeenth century. The working hypothesis consists in studying the relationship between this Arabic summary and the Leyes de Moros (The laws of the Moors) which is also a summary of al-Tafrī‛ in Castilian romance on which I have published numerous studies.
Escritura publicitaria de transición: entre la visigótica y la carolina. El paradigma burgalés = Publicity Script in Transition: Between the Visigothic and the Carolingian. The Burgos Paradigm
Authors: García Morilla Alejandro
Published: May 2018

A nadie se escapa que la escritura–ordinaria y publicitaria- ha sido un fenómeno vivo cuyo proceso evolutivo estuvo sujeto a una serie de circunstancias que según unas determinadas características espacio-temporales presenta unas particularidades muy concretas. En líneas generales, el siglo XII ha sido considerado como el del triunfo definitivo de la escritura carolina publicitaria en la Península Ibérica y así lo confirman los numerosos corpora trabajados hasta el momento y los estudios del profesor García Lobo; una de las grandes autoridades en la material. Sin embargo, en las líneas que se suceden pretendemos analizar el momento de cambio entre las escrituras visigótica y carolina en la provincia de Burgos por presentar unas particularidades muy concretas, especialmente en lo que a cronología y dispersión geográfica se refiere. No menos importante será observar qué signos y elementos gráficos fueron los que presentaron mayor reticencia a desaparecer. El punto de partida necesario es admitir que existió durante todo el siglo XII una convivencia entre los sistemas escriturarios visigótico y carolino. Esta realidad dejó, además, un curioso sistema de mezclas donde encontramos inscripciones visigóticas con indicios de elementos carolinos, inscripciones con escritura mixta e inscripciones carolinas con reminiscencias carolinas además de epígrafes con escritura puro de ambos sistemas. Veremos en qué consisten esos cambios y dentro de que tradición contextual se producen.It is widely accepted that the creation of both ordinary and publicity script is a dynamic phenomenon whose evolutionary process was subject to a series of circumstances in which certain spatial-temporal characteristics produced concrete traits. In general, the twelfth century was considered as the defining moment of the Carolingian publicity script in the Iberian Peninsula as confirmed in the numerous corpora studied by García Lobo, one of the eminent authorities in the field. Nevertheless, in this article, we intend to analyze the transition period between the Visigothic and the Carolingian script in the province of Burgos since it presents specific characteristics of chronology and geographical diffusion. No less important is the need to determine which signs and graphic elements were most reticent to disappear. It is necessary to begin with the premise that during all of the twelfth century, the Visigothic and Carolingian scriptural systems coexisted. This reality produced a curious mixed system of Visigothic inscriptions combined with signs of Carolingian elements, inscriptions with mixed script, and Carolingian inscriptions with Visigothic reminiscences as well as epigraphy with pure script from both systems. We will examine these changes and determine the contextual tradition in which they are produced.
