Published: May 2021

Abstract The organization of the roots, ganglia and the peripheral distribution of the cranial nerves of the fully formed embryos of Oreochromis niloticus are examined in the transverse serial sections. These nerves carry fibers, which were also analyzed. The results of this study demonstrated that the glossopharyngeal nerve originates by means of only one root, which leaves the cranium through the glossopharyngeal foramen. This nerve gives fibers (visceromotor) to the first internal and external levator arcus branchialis muscles. There is a single epibranchial (petrosal) ganglion located extracranially. Nervus glossopharyngeus has three rami; pharyngeus, pretramticus and posttrematicus. The ramus pharyngeus carries only viscerosensory fibers; general for the pharyngeal epithelium and special ones for the pseudobranch. General viscerosensory fibers are also carried by rami pretrematicus and posttrematicus for the pharyngeal epithelial lining. The special sensory fibers are carried by the ramus pretrematicus for the taste buds and by ramus posttrematicus for the gill filaments. The ramus pretrematicus also carries visceromotor fibers for the first adductor arcus branchialis and to the first obliquus ventralis muscles.

Abstract The main objective of the current study was to assess the impact of the water taken from the ‘Tunisian Refining Industries Company’ on meiobenthic nematodes, before and after a series of treatments in decantation basins followed by its discharge in Bizerte bay, Tunisia. The comparison of environmental parameters of the two types of water was clearly indicative of an improvement in the quality of treated waters after a significant reduction in their loads in hydrocarbons. Overall, the water retained a good quality after being treated by ‘Tunisian Refining Industries Company’ before discharge in the sea. At the end of the experiment, differential responses were observed according to the richness of sediment in organic matter and hydrocarbons. Thus, it was apparent that the nematode assemblage exposed to the treated waters was closer to controls and associated to higher values of abundance, than that under untreated ones. It was also assumed that the species Microlaimus honestus De Man, 1922, Paramonohystera proteus Wieser, 1956 and Cyartonema germanicum Juario, 1972 are sensitive bioindicators of bad environmental statues and of hydrocarbon presence in the environment. On the other hand, Metoncholaimus pristiurus (Zur Strassen, 1894) Filipjev, 1918 would rather be classified as a positive bioindicative species of this type of pollutants.

Caracterização da seca histórica da década de 2010 na Bacia do Rio Paraíba do Sul, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil
Authors: Neves Anderson de Oliveira , Vilanova Mateus Ricardo Nogueira
Published: May 2021

RESUMO A Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Paraíba do Sul foi afetada por uma das secas mais severas de sua história, durante os anos de 2013 a 2015, que resultou em várias consequências para o gerenciamento de seus recursos hídricos. O objetivo deste artigo foi contribuir com o entendimento desse evento histórico, no trecho Paulista da Bacia do Rio Paraíba do Sul, por meio do cálculo e da análise do índice padronizado de precipitação. Esse índice foi calculado nas escalas de 1, 3, 6 e 12 meses, para 22 estações pluviométricas localizadas na área de estudo. Os resultados demonstraram que a seca ocorrida entre 2013 e 2014 foi uma das mais severas já registradas, e que o verão de 2014 foi o período crítico no que diz respeito à redução da chuva regional. Essa seca impactou o armazenamento e a capacidade de regularização do principal reservatório da região, o Reservatório de Paraibuna. Embora o pico da crise hídrica tenha ocorrido, principalmente, em razão da seca de 2013/2014, verificou-se que ele foi influenciado pelo efeito cumulativo de uma seca anterior, ocorrida desde o início do ano de 2011. Esse resultado reforça a importância do planejamento plurianual da operação do Sistema Hidráulico da Bacia do Rio Paraíba do Sul.
Estudo de tecnologias de investigação ambiental em alta resolução para refinamento do modelo conceitual — estudo de caso: Duque de Caxias (RJ), Brasil
Authors: Milani Mariana Gava , Carvalho Ana Cristina Malheiros Gonçalves
Published: May 2021

RESUMO Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da utilização de duas técnicas de investigação geoambiental em alta resolução: investigação passiva de vapores do solo e investigação com o uso de Membrane Interface Probe (MIP), em uma área contaminada por hidrocarbonetos de petróleo, localizada no município de Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. O processo de gerenciamento ambiental da área iniciou-se em 2012 e contemplou as etapas preconizadas nas legislações vigentes. Os resultados obtidos a partir das investigações tradicionais foram insuficientes para a compreensão das características físicas e geoquímicas necessária para o sucesso das fases de diagnóstico e, consequentemente, da remediação. Portanto, duas investigações em alta resolução foram conduzidas com o objetivo de refinar o modelo conceitual de forma a atender adequadamente à Resolução CONAMA nº 420/09 e à Resolução CONEMA nº 44/12, permitindo ações futuras mais eficientes. A investigação passiva de vapores do solo utilizou amostradores compostos por materiais adsorventes granulares, encapsulados em uma membrana microporosa hidrofóbica e quimicamente inerte que permite a difusão dos vapores presentes no meio. Os resultados representam qualitativamente a presença de contaminação no subsolo. O MIP é uma ferramenta de direct push com medição em tempo real, que detecta a presença da contaminação tanto em meios insaturados quanto saturados inconsolidados. A partir dos resultados integrados, foi possível constatar que a distribuição de compostos orgânicos voláteis (volatile organic compounds (VOCs)) em água subterrânea ocorre de forma descontínua ao longo da área, sendo possível identificar cinco hotspots distintos e suas diferentes áreas fonte, incluindo uma região com presença de fase livre.
Ciência ambiental: reflexões sobre o monitoramento de resíduos de agrotóxicos em águas potável, superficial e subterrânea
Authors: Silva Leandro de Brito , Schimdt Fernando , Santos Alex da Mota
Published: May 2021

RESUMO As análises da água, na perspectiva da química, são realizadas, normalmente, a partir da definição dos parâmetros a serem analisados e sobre as técnicas para determinação da concentração. Desse modo, considera-se essa abordagem essencialmente cartesiana, que engessa outras possibilidades, tais como o conhecimento de outras áreas da ciência, assim como o conhecimento de fatores sociais, econômicos e de políticas públicas. Portanto, este trabalho de revisão bibliográfica pretendeu apresentar uma visão mais próxima do pensamento sistêmico e da interdisciplinaridade aplicada à análise química, com a finalidade de gerar uma discussão mais integrada sobre a análise de agrotóxicos. Os resultados revelam que a legislação ambiental brasileira sobre gestão de recursos hídricos é omissa em alguns aspectos, ainda não é plenamente aplicada em razão das carências na fiscalização e que há deficiências de integração e interação entre os diversos agentes públicos: universidades e instituições de pesquisa, agências reguladoras e demais órgãos do Poder Executivo.

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association of nursing mothers’ self-efficacy for breastfeeding in the immediate postpartum period and six months after birth and obstetric and sociodemographic variables with the duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: Observational, longitudinal, prospective study which followed nursing mothers from the immediate postpartum period to the sixth month postpartum in a municipality in Southern Brazil. For data collection, a questionnaire with sociodemographic and obstetric variables and the scale Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale - short form - were employed in the maternity ward and six months after birth. Inferential and descriptive statistics were employed. Results: A total of 158 nursing mothers have participated. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in the sixth month was 36.70%, out of which 77.34% have presented a high self-efficacy score. Sociodemographic factors had a negative impact on exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: High levels of self-efficacy favor exclusive breastfeeding; however, such factor, in isolation, is not decisive for exclusive breastfeeding. Self-efficacy should be identified during the pre-natal period through mothers’ employment and marital status data to promote preventive actions against early weaning.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the influence of the care of the self in the work of intensive care nurses. Method: Qualitative study, carried out through thematic oral history. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with intensive care nurses who had worked in the area for at least one year and worked in a university hospital located in the south area of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The script was composed by the guiding question “Does the care of the self affect your professional practice? In what way?”. Other questions related to the object of study were added according to the development of each narrative. The speeches were transcribed, transcreated, and analyzed using the Content Analysis Technique. Results: 13 nurses participated in the research. The following categories emerged in their speeches: “Caring for oneself means providing safer care” and “Care of the self and the leadership of intensive care nurses”. Conclusion: Practices related to the care of the self, had a positive influence on the work process of the intensive care nurse. This influence was mainly associated with patient safety and leadership development, an important managerial competence.

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the evidence available in the literature on the use of auriculotherapy in adults and elderly people with lower urinary tract symptoms. Method: An integrative literature review. Primary study search was carried out in nine relevant health databases. The characterization of studies regarding the method of application of auriculotherapy was based on the Revised Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture recommendations. Results: 296 studies were found, 17 pre-selected and eight included in the review. Favorable results from auriculotherapy were evidenced in specific populations, such as elderly men with prostatic disorders and individuals undergoing surgical procedures. The main urinary symptoms addressed were frequency, urgency, nocturia, incomplete voiding, intermittency, weak flow, effort to start urination, incontinence, and urinary retention. Conclusion: Despite the limited number of studies and weaknesses with regard to sample size and different intervention protocols, it is suggested that auriculotherapy, associated or not with other complementary therapies, may contribute to lower urinary tract symptom control in adults and elderly people.

Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate a methodology for active surveillance of visceral leishmaniasis by detecting Leishmania DNA in organs of wild road-killed animals from November 2016 to October 2018 in the North of Paraná, Brazil. The collection points of road-killed wild animals were georeferenced. The animals were autopsied and samples of bone marrow, lymph node, liver, spleen, and ear skin were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR for amplification of Leishmania spp. 18S, kinetoplastic DNA (kDNA), HSP70, and ITS1 genes, and DNA sequencing was performed. The primers used for the amplification of kDNA, ITS1, and HSP70 genes presented non-specific results. Of the 66 mammals collected from 24 different municipalities, one Southern Tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) presented DNA of Leishmania spp. in lymph nodes by 18S PCR. DNA sequencing confirmed the results of the subgenus, Viannia, identification. We suggest using the methodology showed in the present study in the active and early surveillance of visceral leishmaniasis in a non-endemic area.

Published: May 2021

Background: The Sustained Weight Test (SWT) is an isometric exercise test that has great practical value for carrying out massive studies on hypertension, however, is insufficient knowledge of the dynamics of cardiac autonomic regulation during this test. The aim of this study was to determine variations in the dynamics of cardiac autonomic regulation and in hemodynamic response during SWT in hypertensive subjects.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 15 hypertensive patients of both sexes, paired with 30 normotensive individuals, measuring arterial blood pressure, entropy sample and the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in time-frequency with the Continuous Wavelet Transform Morlet-type (CWT  morlet) through the electrocardiographic signal of the polygraph AD Instruments in the functional states of Rest and SWT.

Results: A significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure was found, as well as a decrease in sample entropy in the functional states of normotensive and hypertensive patients. In hypertensive patients, an early response pattern increased with multiple fluctuations during SWT in the time-frequency analysis of HRV with the CWT morlet.

Conclusions: SWT produces an increase in blood pressure, which is more frequent and evident in hypertensive subjects. Cardiac autonomic regulation during SWT increases the sympathetic and decreases the parasympathetic components, manifesting itself in hypertensive patients with a pattern of imbalance in the regulation of both sympathetic and parasympathetic response.
MEDI: Macronutrient Extraction and Determination from Invertebrates v1
Authors: P Cuff Jordan , M. Wilder Shawn
Published: May 2021

Macronutrients, comprising carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, underpin many ecological processes, but their quantification in ecological studies is often inaccurate and laborious, requiring large investments of time and bulk samples, which make individual‐level studies impossible. This is a protocol for the direct, rapid and relatively low‐cost determination of macronutrient content from single small macroinvertebrates. Macronutrients are extracted by a sequential process of soaking in 1:12 chloroform:methanol solution to remove lipid and then solubilising tissue in 0.1M NaOH. Proteins, carbohydrates and lipids were determined by colorimetric assays from the same individual specimens. Macronutrient Extraction and Determination from Invertebrates (MEDI) can directly and rapidly determine macronutrient content in tiny (dry mass ~3mg) and much larger individual invertebrates. Using MEDI, the total macronutrient content of over 50 macroinvertebrates can be determined within around 3days of collection at a cost of ~$1.35 per sample.

Sosyal Bilgiler Dersinde Zamana İlişkin Becerilerin Öğretimine Dair Kuramsal Bir Bakış
Authors: SEL Burcu , SÖZER Mehmet Akif
Published: May 2021

Çocuklarda zaman ve zamana ilişkin becerilere dair nitelikli bir anlayış oluşturmak sosyal bilgiler dersinin kapsadığı ekonomi, kültür, tarih, coğrafya gibi temel çekirdek disiplinler için önemli bir “bağlam” yaratmakta, tarihsel düşünme becerilerinin ve nedensellik ilişkilerinin kurulmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu araştırmada sosyal bilgiler dersinde zamana ilişkin becerilerin öğretimine kuramsal bir perspektif sunabilmek adına; çocuklarda zaman algısının gelişimine, sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde zaman kavramına, zamana ilişkin becerilerin öğretimsel ögelerine (kronoloji bilgisi/ becerisi, değişim ve sürekliliği algılama becerisi) ve zamana ilişkin becerilerin öğretiminde kullanılabilecek alternatif uygulamalara yer verilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda çocuklarda zaman algısının gelişimine yönelik çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde yaş ve zihinsel olgunluk gibi bilişsel gelişimin önemine vurgu yapan çalışmaların ilerleyen dönemlerde kültür, dil, sosyal çevre gibi sosyokültürel özellikleri de kapsayarak genişletildiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca kronoloji bilgisi, kronoloji becerisi ve değişim ve sürekliliği algılama becerilerinin; çocukların dönemler arası benzerlik ve farklılıkları değerlendirilmelerine, dönemler arası sürekliliği ya da eş zamanlılığı incelemelerine, tarihsel dönüm noktalarını keşfetmelerine, tarihte yaşanan değişimin hızını ve yönünü kestirmelerine katkı sağladığı görülmüştür. Zaman ve zamana ilişkin beceriler; farklı tarihsel dönemlerde kültürel ya da politik konumlanmayı da sağlayacağından aynı zamanda yurttaşlık, kimlik ve aidiyet gibi çeşitli ideolojik kavramlar açısından da işlevsel olarak işe koşulabilir. Bu kapsamda zamana ilişkin becerilerin öğretimi artık neredeyse gelenekselleşen basit bir “sıralama” ya da “tarihlendirme” işlemi olarak görülmemeli; çocuklar için anlamlı ve çocukların yakın çevresine ilişkin resimler, fotoğraflar, binalar, tarihsel mekânlar, eşyalar, hikâyeler, zaman şeritleri, zaman kapsülleri, simülasyonlar, proje çalışmaları, vb. alternatif yöntemler göz önünde bulundurularak inşa edilmelidir.

As I write this review, we are in the midst of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. The extent and impact of this pandemic is still unknown. Although daily reports on confirmed cases and deaths provide a constant stream of detailed information, it is not possible to predict with any degree of precision the impact the outbreak will have in society in general or on the life insurance industry in particular.1 The epidemiology of such disease outbreaks has been likened to a jigsaw puzzle, and we are now at the stage where the picture is intriguing even if we are not sure what we are seeing.2

Finalmente, concluíronse unha serie de aspectos que non son máis que recomendaciones para reelaborar os currículos educativos e adaptalos introducindo de xeito adecuado a didáctica para a Educación Ambiental.
As cunchas de mexillón como residuo: unha mirada dende o eido da Educación Ambiental
Authors: González Tizón Cintia
Published: May 2021

O cultivo do mexillón é a maior produción de Acuicultura de España e unha das máis importantes de Europa. Galicia é a segunda produtora mundial, xerando un residuo de cuncha de mexillón de unhas 90.000 toneladas anuais. O destino deste excedente non está clarificado, e o paradoiro do mesmo data dunha sustentabilidade insuficiente. O presente proxecto propón a investigación sobre a problemática ambiental que xeran as cunchas de mexillón, enfocado en indagar cales son as saídas actuais deste subproduto na nosa comunidade. Verase tamén cales son os posibles usos e potencialidades dende diferentes ámbitos de acción, no que gaña protagonismo o sector da construción. A información obtida da paso a entrar na Educación Ambiental como ferramenta multidisciplinar para promover o coñecemento, a concienciación e a responsabilidade ecolóxica na sociedade, incorporando nas accións unha visión de cambio, desenvolvemento e conservación do medio ambiente máis próximo. Ante o descoñecemento do problema a nivel global e o silencio administrativo, a unión da comunidade como parte activa do proceso de cambio sería unha das chaves para reducir e valorizar as cunchas de mexillón que están xerando un impacto negativo no noso contorno.

Published: May 2021

This study aims at developing the aspect of sustainable management of water resources in the part of the upper Euphrates basin to extend the year 2035 by using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model. Water budget was developed to assess the current water conditions for the reference year 2015 based on available water supply and the increasing demand for water uses. Some of the proposed scenarios have been applied to the WEAP model. The results showed that the total water demand in 2015 was 100 MCM, and it will rise to 400 MCM in 2035. With the emergence of a water deficit, it is expected that 38 MCM, will be fully provided by applying modern irrigation methods. However, when applying the wastewater reuse scenario, it was found that the water deficit reaches 35 MCM. On the other hand, the water deficit has been approximately decreased to 16 MCM when the groundwater scenario was used as an additional source of water supply. The results confirmed the necessity of adopting alternative methods to reduce the water deficit, as well as the ability of the WEAP model to represent the study area.
Concentration of Heavy Metals in the Biot of Lake Radoniqi and Badovci, Food Safety: Study of the Natural Environment in the Republic of Kosovo

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this research is to determine the content of heavy metals in the lakes of Kosovo, lakes with heavy metals such as: (Hg, Cd, Pb, As, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cu), in water and water sediment in Lake Radoniq and Lake Badovc. Determination of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, As), in muscle tissue and fish organs. Parameters as an indicator of fish safety for food, indicator of environmental pollution (Kosovo lake bioten). Age of fish, the amount of fat are important factors that affect the accumulation of heavy metals in fish. This indicates that the bioaccumulation of heavy metals is a special process and indicates the concentration of heavy metals in the body of the fish. The high concentration of Fe in fish organs is of particular importance for hemoglobin and its role in fish. Metal indicators such as biocumulation factors are different, for example, for Pb can be increased with high concentrations compared to international parameters which depends on the species of fish and the location of catching s137 fish, the concentration of heavy metals in the Lake and the impacts from agricultural activities. The concentration of heavy metals in the body of aquatic life depends on the way in which heavy metals penetrate, giving the body the opportunity to detoxify them through metabolism. Metabolism means the exchange of substances, the uninterrupted exchange of matter between the living organism and the external environment. This process is the basis of life, which allows a cell to grow and reproduce, maintain its structure and respond to its environment.
Os Corpos e as Corpas que a escola não toca: EJA e as dissidências sexuais e de gênero na perspectiva da formação docente
Authors: Guimarães Rafael Siqueira de , De Matos Flavio Barreto
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho objetiva pesquisar-agir, partindo das trajetórias de vida do primeiro autor, através de narrativas confessionais atreladas aos processos constitutivos e formativos que compõem a modalidade de ensino da Educação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA, no Colégio Municipal Alice Fuchs de Almeida, do município de Una, localizado na região Sul da Bahia. A partir desse diálogo entre o pessoal e o profissional, nasceu a proposta de intervenção pedagógica Gênero, Sexualidade e Interseccionalidade, fundamentada em saberes decoloniais, por meio de práticas pedagógicas inovadoras e engajadas, e através da seleção prévia de autoras e autores que partem das cosmologias e epistemologias do oprimido e explorado pela diferença colonial, assegurando, assim, aos profissionais da educação que atuam na EJA, o desenvolvimento integral do potencial humano, de modo a torná-los capazes de garantir o exercício pleno da cidadania aos estudantes integrantes dessa modalidade. Sob essa perspectiva, a metodologia utilizada nessa proposta partiu de um universo de significados que exigiam reflexões e conhecimento sobre o que está posto no currículo escolar e na prática pedagógica. Encontros formativos e ações desenvolvidas nos espaços das Atividades Complementares-ACs foram os ambientes de fomento a essas reflexões e conhecimento. Dessa forma, identificamos como os atos de currículo podem implicar nas representações das sexualidades, de gênero e das identidades étnico-raciais dos corpos e corpas dessa modalidade de ensino, ocasionados pela supremacia hegemônica do homem branco, heterossexual, cristão e de classe interferindo de forma negativa na vida dos estudantes, uma vez que são em sua maioria pessoas que fogem a essa matriz colonial.

Como resultado, constatou-se que o percurso analisado se constituiu de modo semelhante às ações empreendidas a nível nacional e mundial, com ênfase no oralismo, na comunicação total e no bilinguismo. Destaca-se ainda a urgência de retomar as discussões para a constituição de uma Política Nacional de Educação Bilíngue, para a construção de uma escola bilíngue inclusiva, que receba todos os estudantes, que respeite os direitos linguísticos dos surdos e que se efetivem os processos de ensinar e de aprender.
Moving, Waiting, Racing: The Emotional and Temporal Experience of Policy for Nurses on Temporary Work Permits in Canada
Authors: Nourpanah Shiva
Published: May 2021

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork done between April 2015 and August 2016 in Halifax, Canada, with nurses employed on temporary work permits in the healthcare sector in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, this research contributes to contemporary literature on certain forms of migration temporality and emotionality. I employ policy analysis of credential recognition procedures for nurses and ethnographic research methods to demonstrate how a complex array of intersecting and sometimes contradictory policy contexts in labour, migration and healthcare regulate the movement and work of foreign nurses, including their transition into permanent Canadian residents, and ultimately, citizens, and the lived experienced of this regulation as it extends through time and space.
Isolation and identification of guaiacol producing Alicyclobacillus fastidiosus strains from orchards in Poland
Authors: Sokolowska Barbara , Połaska Marzena , Dekowska Agnieszka
Published: May 2021

The genus Alicyclobacillus comprises a group of Gram-positive, thermo-acidophilic bacteria that are capable of producing highly resistant endospores during unfavorable environmental conditions. The members of this genus inhabit natural environments, including hot springs and soils. The main reason behind the spoilage of final commercial fruit products by Alicyclobacillus is the contamination of fruits with soil at the time of harvesting. Some of the Alicyclobacillus species, including Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, are categorized as spoilage bacteria due to their ability to produce off-flavor compounds (e.g., guaiacol and halophenols) that adversely affect the taste and aroma of beverages. In our study, Alicyclobacillus species were isolated from Polish orchard soils and fruits and were subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing. The results of the analysis showed that the isolated strains belonged to A. acidoterrestris and Alicyclobacillus fastidiosus species. All the three isolated strains of A. fastidiosus (f1, f2, f3) exhibited similar morphological and biochemical properties as the strain described in the literature. However, these isolated strains were able to produce guaiacol at temperatures of 20°C, 25°C, and 45°C. Thus, the strains of A. fastidiosus discovered in the present study can be included in the group of spoilage species as they possessed the gene responsible for the production of guaiacol.
NARRATIVE FUTURING
Authors: Horst Rachel
Published: May 2021

In this paper I explore the scholarly potential of a narrative futuring methodology for writing-as-becoming within the context of the future imaginary. Through an experimental bricolage of future fiction, theoretical exploration, and personal essay, I attempt to perform a methodology that troubles temporal boundaries and allows me to write my way into the new. I situate this exploratory work within a rich heteroglossia of creative futures and speculative writing that exists both in and outside the academy and informs my narrative futuring praxis. New materialism and post humanism provide the onto-ethico-epistem-ologies for this creative inquiry in which I attempt to entangle myself with rational possibility, absurd potentiality, and poetic virtuality. The future narrative here is neither predictive nor prophetic, but rather is taken up as a mechanism for doing futures-oriented theory; this is a writing-as-reaching into thick assemblages of the not-yet and storying the productive partiality of narrative (non)representation.

Published: May 2021

Objective: In the present study we aimed to compare the levels of troponin and SCUBE1 markers to determine the diagnostic role of SCUBE1 in patients with STEMI-NSTEMI.

Method: This study was prospectively conducted with 119 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction at the emergency department and 30 control subjects between 01.10.2016 and 01.02.2017. The relationship between age, sex, acute myocardial infarction (AMI)type, white blood cell(WBC), lymphocyte, neutrophil, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, red cell distribution width(RDW), thrombocyte count, aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), CK, CK-MB, troponin, and SCUBE 1 level was examined. Age, sex, and SCUBE 1 level were compared between the patient and control groups.

Results: The patients had a mean age of 61.5±14.5 years, and 68.9% of them were male. The patients had a SCUBE 1 level of 79.7 ng/mL and the control group 53.2 ng/ml.SCUBE1 level was comparable between the patients with acute myocardial infarction and the control group. A correlation was found between the SCUBE1 level and age. Women in the patient group had a significantly higher SCUBE1 level. There was a positive correlation between the WBC, CKMB, and troponin levels, and SCUBE 1 level in the patient group. No correlation was found between SCUBE 1 level and neutrophil, lymphocyte, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, RDW, platelet, AST, ALT, and CK levels. There was no significant correlation between infarction type and SCUBE 1 level.

Conclusion: SCUBE1 level did not significantly rise in patients with acute myocardial infarction. As the test had lower sensitivity and specificity compared to the other markers, we believe that it is not suitable for practical use.
Problems of Modeling Working Processes in Pneumohydraulic Systems and Units at Various Stages of the Product Life Cycle
Authors: Kyurdzhiev Y.V.
Published: May 2021

The article presents the result of the analysis of the problems of maintenance of on-board pneumatic systems and units in terms of the requirements for completeness and efficiency of the requested information. It is shown that the current state of the workflow modeling tools of these systems do not fully meet the maintenance requirements at all stages of the product life cycle. An approach to modeling pneumohydraulic systems and units is proposed, as well as ways to reduce the time from the moment of setting a problem requiring the development of a new mathematical model to obtaining adequate simulation results. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated by the example of a pressure regulator operating in a dynamic mode. The possibilities and ways of implementing modeling tools based on the proposed approach are shown.
Current epidemiological situation of influenza in Silesian voivodeship
Authors: Kowalska Małgorzata
Published: May 2021

Grypa jest chorobą zakaźną układu oddechowego podlegającą stałemu monitorowaniu w zakresie liczby nowych zachorowań oraz zgonów. W drugiej połowie marca 2020 r. zaobserwowano spadek liczby zachorowań na grypę w woj. śląskim i postanowiono sprawdzić, czy ma to związek z pojawieniem się nowego zagrożenia, jakim jest pandemia COVID. W modelu badania opisowego dokonano analizy trendu zachorowalności i hospitalizacji z powodu grypy, a jednocześnie przedstawiono dynamikę wzrostu nowych zakażeń wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Dokonano również chronologicznego usystematyzowania ważnych działań administracyjnych ograniczających rozwój epidemii. Nie można wykluczyć, że obserwowany spadek zachorowań i hospitalizacji z powodu grypy w woj. śląskim ma związek z restrykcyjnymi przepisami organizacji pracy i życia społecznego podjętymi dla ograniczenia epidemii COVID. Jednoznaczne wnioskowanie będzie wymagało wnikliwych badań i dłuższego okresu obserwacji.
Efficiency analysis of Catalonia’s construction industry pre- and post-financial crisis: a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach
Authors: Procel Claudette
Published: May 2021

By employing a non-parametric technique rooted in economic production theory—i.e., Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)—this study evaluates the efficiency level of construction businesses operating in the Spanish region of Catalonia. The empirical application considers a dataset including information for more than 1000 construction businesses from Catalonia during the period 2005-2016. The empirical results reveal that the efficiency level in the Catalan construction industry drastically fell during the period of economic downturn (2009-2012).  Also, the findings show that efficiency in the industry improves after 2013; however, the speed of recovery is heterogeneous across businesses. A further analysis highlights that business size is a relevant factor explaining efficiency differences among the sampled businesses: efficiency is evidently lower in micro businesses compared to the figures reported for small and medium and large construction firms
Influencia de la capacidad de absorción en la capacidad de respuesta de pequeñas empresas manufactureras mexicanas
Authors: Demuner-Flores María del Rosario , Saavedra-García María Luisa , Ibarra-Cisneros Manuel Alejandro
Published: May 2021

La capacidad de absorción permite a las empresas combinar el conocimiento extraído del exterior con el previamente gestado al interior para dar respuesta a los constantes cambios de su entorno. El objetivo fue determinar la influencia de la adquisición, asimilación, transformación y explotación del conocimiento y su impacto en la capacidad de respuesta organizacional de las pequeñas empresas. Una muestra de 132 pequeñas empresas mexicanas permitió un análisis factorial que confirmó la calidad métrica del cuestionario empleado, así como la realización de un modelo de regresión múltiple. En las regresiones simples se comprueba una relación positiva significativa entre la adquisición, asimilación, transformación y explotación con la capacidad de respuesta de la organización. El modelo de regresión múltiple excluyó la explotación del conocimiento, lo que implica que las pequeñas empresas se benefician del conocimiento externo para fortalecer su bagaje interno, mejorar sus procesos y rutinas, pero conjuntamente no aprovechan las bondades de la explotación del conocimiento. Esta investigación revela a las PYME la necesidad de estimular y aprovechar su capacidad de absorción para desarrollar nuevos productos o servicios que den respuesta a un mercado cada vez más exigente
Metáfora del escenario
Authors: Nogueira Volpato Alana
Published: May 2021

Comprender a las organizaciones es esencial para entender la construcción de la dinámica social contemporánea. Con la superposición cada vez más evidente entre comunicación, sociedad y cultura, es necesario develar las complejas relaciones que las organizaciones establecen en la sociedad mediatizada. El presente artículo pretende explorar la teoría de la dramaturgia social de Erving Goffman y su aplicación en el contexto organizacional mediatizado, articulando algunos aspectos centrales de las organizaciones contemporáneas: comunicación organizacional y estratégica, mediatización y cultura de innovación. Para esto, realizamos una revisión de la bibliografía académica referida a estos conceptos, relacionándolos con la teoría de la dramaturgia social, para luego reflexionar sobre la metáfora del escenario en el entorno contemporáneo. En las escenas de interacción en la sociedad mediatizada se revisan los roles de los actores organizacionales y se reconfiguran los escenarios, creando nuevas posibilidades para las organizaciones, así como desafíos y oportunidades para la comunicación organizacional.
El problema políticoontológico de la imagen digital
Authors: Celedón Bórquez Gustavo
Published: May 2021

La imagen digital, al abordarse desde el prisma artístico o cinematográfico, requiere traspasar las barreras que delimitan lo audiovisual a una práctica artística determinada y considerar el problema socio-político, e incluso ontológico, que hoy plantea. Este problema consiste en un proceso de de-subjetivación que impone el discurso digital. Al respecto, tres tesis importantes conducen este artículo. En primer lugar, la imagen digital es pensada como presentación o interfaz de un mundo estructurado por el lenguaje, siendo este último el verdadero operador de los procesos de de-subjetivación. Esto implica, en segundo lugar, que los procesos de subjetivación son posibles en el trabajo audiovisual en la medida en que pueden subvertir la imagen digital; es decir, separarla de su código. En tercer lugar, una mirada analítica nos indica que la tradición del cine ensayo es fundamental para comprender este trabajo de subversión subjetiva de la imagen en esta época digital, dado que sus ejes principales son la apuesta por la subjetivación y la resistencia al lenguaje, la codificación y la clasificación.
