Carreras de enseñanza bilingüe: Un paso más en la ruta hacia la Costa Rica bilingüe
Authors: Vargas González María Fernanda , Noguera Salgado Norman , Maroto Vargas Ana Patricia
Published: May 2024

Costa Rica viene realizando esfuerzos para mejorar el conocimiento de un segundo idioma en el estudiantado de primaria y secundaria desde 1994. Pese a los esfuerzos, los resultados no han sido los esperados. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo estudiar la pertinencia y necesidad de crear carreras centradas en la enseñanza bilingüe de alguna disciplina, por ejemplo, matemática. Para ello, se empleó un enfoque cualitativo en el que se realizó, entre 2020 y 2022, una consulta documental, 13 entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas expertas y una encuesta a más de 100 posibles personas empleadoras. Se destacan los esfuerzos que ha hecho el gobierno por mejorar la educación bilingüe tanto en primaria como en secundaria; sin embargo, estos no han sido suficientes para lograr el nivel deseado en cuanto al dominio de un segundo idioma. Las personas expertas coinciden en la necesidad que existe en el país de profesionales en educación con dominio del idioma inglés en materias potencialmente enseñables en ese idioma. Aunque no es el único factor, la falta de recurso humano capacitado no ha permitido que los colegios experimentales bilingües migren a colegios bilingües, por el mismo motivo, algunas instituciones se han visto en la necesidad de contratar docentes de inglés para que enseñen matemáticas o ciencias.

Authors: Sunadi Joko , Guci Asriwan , Tanjung Abrar
Published: May 2024

In the selection of the current Head of Quality Control is appointed manually based solely on the information provided in the application and the decisions that have been raised are inaccurate and cause delays causing the assessment not to be completed. In addition, when recruiting the Head of Quality Control manually, there are several things that can cause problems, such as hiring a Head of Quality Control who does not meet the criteria set by the company, carrying out a slow selection process, and others. The methodology used is the Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) method, which is an approach used to collect data and develop systems and applications to assist companies in making decisions based on common problems. The calculation results with COPRAS were obtained from 10 selected employees, the highest UI score of 100 and the lowest of 52.18. Companies can find qualified managers who meet organizational standards by implementing a decision support system based on this COPRAS methodology.

Published: May 2024

Semimetric spaces with bounded property means that it is bounded below and bounded above by constant multiples of a metric space. Moreover, in semimetric spaces, every convergent sequence is not necessarily to be a Cauchy sequence. This study aims to examine the property of sequences of semimetric spaces with boundary property. In this work, analytical method of proof is used. The results obtained are the equivalence of the convergence of the sequence, and the fulfillment of the Cauchy criterion in the finite semimetric space and the metric space that bounds it. In addition, the completeness property in one space also causes the other space to fulfill the completeness property.
Penyisipan Data Secara Reversible Pada Gambar Medis Menggunakan Metode Difference Expansion of Quad dan Fungsi Modulus
Authors: Arham Aulia
Published: May 2024

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) brings convenience across various domains, but raises its own challenges, particularly concerning data security and privacy. Cryptography and steganography are two techniques used to secure data. Cryptography protects information by encrypting messages, while steganography hides the existence of data in other media. The embedding of data into other media like medical images necessitates specialized approaches to prevent potential distortion that may compromise their integrity. Distortion in medical images could lead to erroneous diagnoses. In this study, we introduce a reversible data embedding technique capable of returning storage media to its original state without distortion, utilizing the Difference Expansion of Quad and Modulus Function. This approach employs 2×2 pixel blocks to embed 3-bits of data. Our experiments on six medical images demonstrate that the proposed method offers substantial embedding capacity while maintaining high visual quality. The embedding capacity can reach 0.4834 bits per pixel (bpp) with a PSNR of 49.4330 dB. Experimental findings indicate that the proposed method outperforms previous techniques.

Authors: Lovska Alyona , Nerubatskyi Volodymyr , Plakhtii Oleksandr , Myamlin Sergiy
Published: May 2024

The object of research is the processes of occurrence, perception, and redistribution of loads in the structure of a removable module for the situational adaptation of the flat car, model 13-7024, to the transportation of strategic cargoes.
In order to transport strategic cargoes, including military equipment, agricultural machines, etc., the use of a removable module is proposed on the flat car. Appropriate calculations were performed to determine parameters for the structural components of the removable module. At the same time, the profile of the frame was determined by the value of the maximum bending moment acting in its cross-section. The thickness of the sheet, which forms a horizontal plane for placing the load, was calculated according to the Bubnov–Galyorkin method. To substantiate the determined parameters of the structural components of the removable module, its strength was calculated. The calculation results showed that the strength of the removable module under the considered operating load schemes is ensured.
A feature of the research results is that the use of the proposed structure of the removable module makes it possible to expand the range of goods transported by flat cars without improving them.
The field of practical use of the results is the engineering industry, in particular, railroad transport. The conditions for the practical application of the research results are the use of variable height fittings in the removable module.
Our studies will contribute to devising the recommendations for increasing the efficiency of the operation of flat cars through their situational adaptation to the transportation of strategic cargoes. In add, the results could prove useful for the construction of modern structures of modular vehicles

Published: May 2024

The object of this study is the process of risk management at enterprises in the metallurgical industry as a subject of foreign economic activity. Under the conditions of an export-oriented economy, it is important to have tools for early response to crises and challenges caused by various factors. Volatility of the market and global and domestic prices for key products and raw materials add uncertainty and encourage management to look for tools to protect their financial income.
The construction of a risk map and the use of mathematical tools for forecasting and minimizing the negative consequences of the occurrence of risky events could contribute to making optimal management decisions in operational activities and in the pricing process.
Interpretation of the risk management cycle for the needs of enterprises in the metallurgical industry will make it possible to adequately identify the risks inherent in the industry and devise measures for flexible response to crises and challenges. In the course of the study, it was found out that exporting companies need protection, first of all, against price risk, which increases significantly under the conditions of inflation and due to jumps in the consumer price index in a particular country. It is suggested to use hedging as a protection tool.
Determining the perimeter of risk hedging by means of a risk-oriented selection of indicators (external and internal, commercial, and non-commercial risks) depending on a certain market situation will make it possible to establish a correlation between key influencing factors.
The implementation of the risk-hedging cycle in the practice of the enterprises in the metallurgical industry will make it possible to ensure flexible management of the pricing procedure for metal products both in the domestic market and during foreign trade

Published: May 2024

The growing tendency to produce cheese from animal and plant ingredients has led to the diversification of cheese-making technologies and the search for new cheese suitable raw materials. The research object is the technology of cheeses made from combined raw materials: cow's milk and hemp seed proteins. Subjects of research: organoleptic and physical-chemical indicators of cheese product samples; amino acid composition of cheese product samples. The inclusion of vegetable raw materials in the cheese technology affects the technical properties of milk-plant mixtures, in particular, their syrupy properties, and the quality of the finished cheese product. Samples of cheeses were produced according to the traditional technology of Cachotta type cheese. The conducted research established that the proteins of hemp seeds affect the sensory characteristics of cheese. Increasing the content of hemp protein in recipes leads to the appearance of a brown-green color of the cheese product. The taste and smell acquire a characteristic shade of hemp. When vegetable proteins are used in the recipe of cheese, the yield of the finished product increases by 0.3...23.5 %. In experimental samples, the content of fat (by 0.3...2.2 %) and protein (by 1.75...10.4 %) increases. Hemp seed protein balances the amino acid profile in finished cheese. The total content of amino acids in cheese samples was as follows: H10 – 8.25, H15 – 8.35, H20 – 8.44, and H25 – 8.53 mg/g of protein, which is relatively higher than in the control sample H0 – 8.08 mg/g of protein. Taking into account the results of the sensory analysis of the expert commission and the balanced biological profile, the recommended concentration of hemp seed protein in the milk-vegetable mixture is 20 %, which guarantees the acceptable quality of the product. The obtained results are of practical importance, since it can be taken into account that the combination of raw materials of plant and animal origin expands the assortment, increases the raw material base and the output of cheese, and therefore, the profitability of production

This study's object is an energy efficiency of residential sector. The work is aimed at solving the task to improve the energy efficiency of the housing sector by devising technical solutions for monitoring and managing energy consumption and microclimate parameters of buildings. The proposed proactive management system for residential buildings consists of multi-sensors measuring CO2, temperature and humidity, smart meters of heat and electricity consumption, and smart plugs. The equipment is combined into single system through an integration controller with remote user access through an interactive web interface. A feature of the technical solution is the ability to collect, process, visualize, and archive data on the consumption of energy, as well as on the key parameters of the microclimate of residential premises. The advantages of the system are its flexibility due to the possibility of integrating additional devices during operation, as well as the use of standard communication protocols, which enables the interchangeability of component elements. The implementation and testing were carried out under the conditions of a real pilot site. The use of the system in practice confirmed the efficiency and stability of the operation, making it possible to obtain data on the parameters of energy consumption and microclimate and devising recommendations for reducing energy consumption at the pilot site. It was established that the microclimate meets the requirements of the standards (air temperature is about 22 °С while relative humidity does not exceed 60 %). Decrease in energy consumption can be achieved by reducing the temperature of the heat carrier in the absence of residents, as well as by considering the influence of weather conditions. During periods of residents activity, an excess of the permissible level of CO2 was recorded, therefore, automatic ventilation systems should be provided in the apartments
Formation of state protection for urban passenger transport enterprises
Authors: Palant Oleksii , Zakharov Denys
Published: May 2024

This paper considers the task to provide state financial protectionism under the conditions of today's challenges. A model of effective interaction is proposed, which takes into account selective fair financing based on indicators of the investment attractiveness of the i-th region and the priority of the i-th region. The calculations proved the independence of the regional financing priority indicator on the level of investment attractiveness of the region, or vice versa. The methodology was tested on the example of urban passenger transportation entrepreneurship under the conditions of challenges that have arisen. According to the results, those territories that are recognized as the most affected and vulnerable, and the problem of support of which can be solved only with the help of state intervention, are eligible for state protectionism.
The results of the calculations show that the distribution of financial funds in the amount of state finances S=1 allocated to support entrepreneurship is carried out proportionally. A comprehensive approach made it possible to determine the regions for state funding, while the most affected regions receive the largest share of financial investments – Luhansk, Chernivtsi, Kherson, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, and Sumy oblasts, which will receive funding to support urban passenger transportation, in the amount of 17.01 %, 16.89 %, 16.74 %, 16.57 %, 16.55 %, and 16.24 %, respectively.
This study is of practical interest for state management bodies as it provides methodological recommendations for the allocation of funds to support the most affected regions. It is also useful for researchers studying financial provision, protectionism, and public administration, and it is recommended that future research be conducted taking into account the level of socio-economic development of states

Authors: Myronenko Oleksii
Published: May 2024

The choice of project management methodology affects both the implementation of projects and their economic efficiency. Quantitative assessment of such an impact substantiates the relevance of this paper's research topic. The object of the study is the activity of companies in the field of engineering of innovative developments under the conditions of change in project management methodology. The study solved the problem of identifying the impact of research and development costs on the income of companies in the field of innovative development engineering in the context of a change in project management methodology. A change in project management methodology can significantly affect the costs, timelines, and bottom line associated with research and development, and determine their effectiveness in the context of achieving business goals. A change in project management methodology can affect the use of resources allocated for research and development, which ultimately affects the company's performance. Regression analysis was used to determine the impact of changes in project management methodology on the amount of investment in research and development. The results of the study show that the use of project management methodologies, such as Waterfall and Agile, has a positive effect on the quality of project management and financial indicators of companies. Projects implemented according to the Agile methodology are more effective, reducing the number of canceled and closed projects. Both methodologies lead to the successful completion of most projects but the percentage of successfully completed projects with the Waterfall methodology is higher than with Agile. The use of Agile makes it possible to  achieve a significant reduction in the terms of project implementation and improve the efficiency of costs and resources. The results can be used by companies at the stage of choosing a project management methodology to decide on the implementation of the Waterfall or Agile methodology

The aim of the study was to analyze the problem of constructing and interpreting human pedigrees, which include some signs that are easily detected during a clinical examination and the collection of primary history.
Materials and methods. 2 pedigrees from own sources and 2 pedigrees of famous people from literary sources are presented. They serve as the examples of using the provided data for further medical and genealogical analysis.
Results and discussion. The results indicate that pedigree analysis is a primary and informationally important tool for the further algorithm of diagnosis and treatment of subjects. The effect of the quantity, quality and testing level of the presented genealogical information for a full pedigree analysis and the use of its possibilities is demonstrated.Pedigree analysis demonstrated that the number of absolute units of quantitative information presented (total number of generations and members of the pedigree) and absolute units of qualitative information (traits/medical conditions listed and their level of detail) may not be associated with the value of genetic conclusions. It has been shown that the largest number of members in a generation is usually represented for the generation of the propositus.Thus, smaller pedigrees, where more units of information are represented per member, can be of greater value for genetic conclusions. An analysis of one's own pedigrees showed that, on average, less than one trait can be represented per person in the pedigree. Additionally, small pedigrees with available molecular genetic data may be of greatest value, even retrospectively.
Conclusions. It is shown that pedigrees can represent valuable primary information for clinicians regarding the further algorithm of the subject dealing and serve as a tool for the scientific thinking development in the educational process

Phototherapy is a targeted method for eradicating cancer cells with minimum collateral harm to healthy tissue. The method requires a photosensitiser for cancer realtime monitoring and treatment. Photosensitiser which composes from fluorophore and chemodrug would be an advantage compares to another since it could play many roles such as giving the image of cancer, generating the heat and releasing the drug to kill the cancer cells. IR-780 iodide, heptamethine Cyanine dye, has been used as an ideal platform to construct theranostic agents for cancer imaging and therapy. Chlorambucil (CHL) is an effective chemodrug for cancer therapy which have been ultilized for conjugation to synthesis new drug. Thus, in this  study we report a study that combines IR780 and CHL for phototherapy purpose. The new synthesis of IR780-CHL has been confirm the structure by liquid chromatography – mass spectrum (LC-MS) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The LC-MS findings indicated a mass of 616.35 MW, which corresponded to our predicted fraction. While the 1H NMR demonstrated the presence of resonant peaks in IR780-CHL that are exclusive to CHL and IR780. UV-Vis measurements have revealed that the absorbance of IR780-CHL has moved to 756 nm instead of 780 nm. Before and after laser activation, the toxicity of IR780-CHL was comparable to that of CHL, indicating that the synthesis did not influence the in vitro effectiveness of the drug treatment. The development of IR780-CHL has considerable potential for cancer detection and treatment.
Bias distribution of Pristionchus nematodes found in Cat Tien and Cuc Phuong National Parks, Vietnam
Authors: Son Le Tho , Nhu Ngoc Nguyen , Quang Trung Do
Published: May 2024

The Pristionchus nematodes are distributed in many places worldwide, so they should be diverse in many aspects of biology. The most updated species, P. pacificus, has many differences from and similarities to the standard model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans, and become a parallel but complementary laboratory model for research in genetics, diversity, and evolution. It therefore acquires the demonstration of wild-type isolates of the Pristionchus species in various habitats. In the survey of the soil nematodes, we collected vegetation samples from forests and used them to isolate nematodes. The nematodes were raised in the laboratory to determine their species. In this research, we report the finding of numerous strains within the genus Pristionchus. By comparing the 18S rDNA sequences as an advanced barcode for the classification of free-living nematodes, we identified them in two different species (P. pacificus and P. chinensis) and predicted one new Pristionchus species. Of them, P. pacificus strains are dominant, more in the north and less in the south of Vietnam, and they likely evolved independently over time. The P. chinensis and new Pristionchus sp. were less distributed and probably found by chance. This result extends the global diversity of the nematode genus Pristionchus, facilitating future studies of evolutionary nematodes.
Irrationality vs rationality? Irrationality as a door to the rational Greek thought
Authors: Faluszczak-Skrzypek Jadwiga
Published: May 2024

The origin of western thought is commonly situated in Greek philosophy, with the over-arching story of logos-based rational inquiry deteriorating from the mythical stories presenting supernatural cause to the observable phenomena. This paper aims to investigate the intersection of rational and irrational factors contributing to the emergence of philosophy. Author proceeds through the examination of Ionian, Pythagorean and Orphic thought, all shaping the most influential works of Greek philosophers, such as Plato. The theoretical base of the study was embedded in the writings of Rudolf Otto and Francis M. Cornford. In result, the conclusions present the irrationality as a root for rational interpretation of reality, through the commonality endeavour of both, aiming at the elevation of human figure, its independence from chaotic actions of gods and revelation of the higher truths through the embodied means of ritual action as well as through the thinking process of ordering and synthetizing. The examples brough by the author expose the intertwining of religious belief and philosophical thought.
Wyznania wiary synodu w Antiochii z 341 roku
Authors: Baron Arkadiusz
Published: May 2024

Dokumenty synodu w Antiochii z 341 roku zawierają cztery wyznania wiary. Są one reakcją na oskarżenia biskupów Wschodu o arianizm ze strony synodu w Rzymie w 340/341 roku. Zarzuty te powstały w rezultacie obrony Atanazego z Aleksandrii i Marcelego z Ancyry, złożonych na Wschodzie z urzędu rzekomo za obronę wyznania wiary z Nicei z 325 roku przeciwko ariańskim poglądom szerzącym się na Wschodzie. Tymczasem Wschód borykał się z różnymi formami monarchianizmu. Zarzuty wobec biskupów Wschodu o arianizm stanowiły nieporozumienie na linii Rzym–Antiochia i wywołały szybką reakcję biskupów na synodzie w Antiochii w 341 roku. Cztery formuły wiary tego synodu zapoczątkowały serię tworzenia nowych wyznań wiary w następnych latach i stanowią cenny wkład na drodze wypracowywania w połowie IV wieku prawdy wiary, że wyznajemy Jednego Boga w Trzech Osobach.
STUDY OF DOUGH FERMENTATION PROCESS WITH FLAX SEEDS
Authors: Bondarenko Yu. , Andronovych G. , Kaprelyants L. , Bilyk O. , Naumenko O.
Published: May 2024

Flax seeds are a valuable raw material for the production of functional bakery products. The article investigates the fermentation processes in wheat dough  supplemented with whole and crushed flax seeds in dry and soaked states. For a holistic understanding of the fermentation process, the regularities of the kinetics and dynamics of gas formation in the experimental samples were analyzed. It was found that during fermentation in samples with whole flax seeds in dry and soaked states, the amount of carbon dioxide released slightly increases compared to the control. In the samples with crushed dry and soaked flax seeds, the total amount of carbon dioxide released is higher than in the control sample by 16.5% and 19.0%, respectively. In the sample with crushed flax seeds, the nature of the dynamics of carbon dioxide release differs from the control sample, namely, a one-stage fermentation is observed. At the same time, the peak of carbon dioxide release was observed almost 30 minutes later than in the control sample. This may be due to the fact that soaking flaxseed products produces viscous solutions of polysaccharides, which envelop the yeast cells during dough kneading and slow down the supply of nutrients to them. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of carbon dioxide emission, it is recommended to reduce the duration of dough fermentation for the sample with whole flax seeds to 90 minutes, and for the samples with crushed seeds and soaked flax products to 60 minutes, so that the most intense carbon dioxide emission in these experimental samples occurs during the period of proofing of dough pieces. It was found that the introduction of whole and crushed flax seeds in soaked form slows down the rise of the dough due to the thickening of the dough system with water-soluble and insoluble flax dietary fiber, reducing fermentation and the formation of sugars in the dough system.
INFLUENCE OF THE GRANULATION PROCESS ON THE QUALITY OF THE PROBIOTIC FEED SUPPLEMENT
Authors: Iegorov B. , Мakarynska A. , Kananykhina O. , Turpurova T.
Published: May 2024

The modern development of animal husbandry and poultry farming is impossible without compound feed, which is balanced in terms of energy indicators, nutrients and biologically active substances. The presence of biologically active substances in the rations of animals leads to an increase in the cost of compound feed, which affects the cost of livestock products. However, an insufficient amount of biologically active substances leads to the occurrence of diseases that exclude the possibility of further effective use of animals. Probiotic feed products based on live cultures of microorganisms are used to ensure the body's need for biologically active substances of farm animals. Probiotic feed supplement EnzActive based on active yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used in feeding farm animals. This supplement is able to increase the assimilation of nutrients by blocking the negative impact of harmful microorganisms on the condition of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, on the processes of digestion and removal of the end products of metabolism. Based on theoretical and experimental data, a structural scheme for the production of granulated compound feed using EnzActive probiotic feed additive is proposed, which involves stepwise dosing and mixing of microcomponents with EnzActive probiotic feed additive, further mixing with prepared and dosed components of compound feed to ensure high uniformity of EnzActive distribution in the finished product. The technology for the production of granulated combined feed products using the EnzActive probiotic feed additive has been developed, which allows for the production of highly homogeneous finished products with a fixed stable composition that meets the physiological needs of farm animals. The physical properties of loose and granulated compound feed with the EnzActive probiotic feed additive were experimentally determined, which indicate that, compared to loose, granular compound feed with the EnzActive probiotic feed additive, it has a smaller angle of natural slope, better flowability, and greater volume, which leads to space saving during transportation and storage. The main quality indicator of the granulated compound feed is the fragility of the granules, which was 27%. It has been established that the introduction of probiotic feed additive EnzActive into the compound feed does not affect the change in the physical properties of the finished compound feed products. Microbiological indicators were determined, which indicate that the number of yeast cells in the granulated compound feed with the EnzActive probiotic feed additive is 51.6% compared to the number of yeast cells in the loose compound feed with the EnzActive probiotic feed additive.

Along with the well-known "Madrasa" natural wine, the kagor "Shamakhi" is made from the autochthonous red Madrasa grape variety native to the Mountainous Shirvan region of Azerbaijan. The type of wine produced depends on the processing characteristics of this variety, specifically, the mode of maceration of the solid parts of the grape with juice. In this regard, the study of the influence of the maceration period of the mash on the color quality of the wine and the amount of phenolic compounds is relevant and is of scientific and practical importance. The research aimed to explore the influence of the maceration regime of the mash on the amount of phenolic compounds and color indicators in autochthonous Madrasa wine samples. For 96 and 144 hours, maceration was performed at low heat (30ºC), room temperature (20ºC), and cellar temperature (10ºC). The highest amount of phenolic compounds was observed during the maceration of the mash for 144 hours under room conditions (20ºC) and 96 hours under cellar conditions (10ºC).The highest indicator, 88 mg/dm3, in total flavonoids was observed in samples obtained by maceration at 30ºC temperature for 144 hours, and the lowest indicator, 62 mg/dm3 under room conditions by maceration for 144 hours. In both processing methods, 7 phenolic acids were detected. Compared to others, the amount of catechin, gallic acid, and epicatechin was more. The amount of catechin varied from 34.90 to 39.80, galacturonic acid from 12.60 to 16.00, and epicatechin from 5.01 to 6.91 mg/dm3. The amount of other four phenolic acids were found to be many times less abundant. In addition to natural adhesives such as bentonite and gelatin, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) was used to remove polyphenols, and the best results were obtained in this case. The total amount of phenolic compounds in the initial wine sample was 520 mg/dm³ and anthocyanins 83 mg/dm³, while those indicators were reduced by 14.4% and 20.5%, respectively, when treated with PVPP. We can note that bentonite is the second adhesive according to the degree of effect on phenolic compounds.

Träning förknippas ofta med idrott, i samband med elitsatsningar eller motion. Seriös och omfattande träning eller övning kan också vara en del av skolningen till en profession och i det fortsatta yrkeslivet som till exempel musiker eller dansare. Daglig övning eller ’att göra sin practice’ kan, för den professionella musikern eller yogaläraren, vara en del av en livsstil. Denna artikel bygger på teoretiska litteraturstudier och empiriska studier av professionella musiker inom den klassiska genren och professionella yogalärare. En praxeologisk forskningsansats används för att förstå och förklara övningens symboliska och sociala signifikans, inom ramen för musikers och yogalärares olika sociala praktiker. Analysen visar att övningen fungerar som en rituell praktik, som bidrar till att tron på praktikens värde och ordning förkroppsligas.

ABSTRACT Introduction: severe abdominal sepsis, accompained by diffuse peritonitis, poses a significant challenge for most surgeons. It often requires repetitive surgical interventions, leading to complications and resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. The open abdomen technique, facilitated by applying a negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), reduces the duration of the initial surgical procedure, minimizes the accumulation of secretions and inflammatory mediators in the abdominal cavity and lowers the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome and its associated complications. Another approach is primary closure of the abdominal aponeurosis, which involves suturing the layers of the abdominal wall. Methods: the objective of this study is to conduct a survival analysis comparing the treatment of severe abdominal sepsis using open abdomen technique versus primary closure after laparotomy in a public hospital in the South of Brazil. We utilized data extracted from electronic medical records to perform both descriptive and survival analysis, employing the Kaplan-Meier curve and a log-rank test. Results: the study sample encompassed 75 laparotomies conducted over a span of 5 years, with 40 cases employing NPWT and 35 cases utilizing primary closure. The overall mortality rate observed was 55%. Notably, survival rates did not exhibit statistical significance when comparing the two methods, even after stratifying the data into separate analysis groups for each technique. Conclusion: recent publications on this subject have reported some favorable outcomes associated with the open abdomen technique underscoring the pressing need for a standardized approach to managing patients with severe, complicated abdominal sepsis.

RESUMO Introdução: a medição da gravidade das lesões traumáticas é essencial para prever os desfechos clínicos. Enquanto o Injury Severity Score (ISS) tem limitações ao atribuir pontuações às lesões no mesmo local, o New Injury Severity Score (NISS) corrige esse problema ao considerar as três lesões mais graves independentemente da região corporal. Este estudo visa entender o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos pacientes traumatizados, comparando a eficácia das escalas para prever mortalidade. Métodos: estudo descritivo, observacional e retrospectivo utilizando registros de pacientes submetidos à toracotomia no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro entre 2000 e 2019. Dados demográficos, mecanismos de lesão, órgãos afetados, tempo de internação e mortalidade foram analisados. A gravidade das lesões foi avaliada usando o ISS e NISS, e as análises estatísticas foram conduzidas no MedCalc e SigmaPlot. Resultados: Foram avaliados 101 pacientes, em média com 29,6 anos, sendo 86,13% homens. A média da internação foi de 10,9 dias e a taxa de mortalidade foi de 28,7%. A análise da curva ROC revelou uma sensibilidade de 68,97%, especificidade de 80,56% e área sob a curva de 0,837 para o ISS, e 58,62%, 94,44% e 0,855 para o NISS, respectivamente. O índice de Youden indicou 0,49 para o ISS e 0,53 para o NISS. Conclusão: o estudo demonstrou semelhante eficácia entre o NISS e o ISS na previsão de mortalidade. Esses resultados geram implicações importantes na aplicação dessas escalas no ambiente hospitalar. É essencial que os profissionais conheçam tais escalas para aplica-las adequadamente no contexto de cada paciente.

ABSTRACT Backgrounds: COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp decline in surgical volume worldwide due to the postponement of elective procedures. This study evaluated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in surgical volumes and outcomes of abdominal surgery in high-risk patients requiring intensive care unit admission. Methods: patients admitted for postoperative care were retrospectively evaluated. Data concerning perioperative variables and outcomes were compared in two different periods: January 2017-December 2019 and January 2020-December 2022, respectively, before (period I) and after (period II) the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Results: 1.402 patients (897 women, mean age 62+17 years) were investigated. Most of the patients underwent colorectal (n=393) and pancreato-biliary (n=240) surgery, 52% of elective procedures. Surgical volume was significantly lower in period II (n=514) when compared to period I (n= 888). No recovery was observed in the number of surgical procedures in 2022 (n=135) when compared to 2021(n=211) and 2020 (n=168). Subjects who underwent abdominal surgery in period II had higher Charlson comorbidity index (4,85+3,0 vs. 4,35+2,8, p=0,002), more emergent/urgent procedures (51% vs. 45%, p=0,03) and more clean-contaminated wounds (73,5% vs. 66,8%, p=0,02). A significant decrease in the volume of colorectal surgery was also observed (24% vs, 31%, p<0,0001) after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, 125 (8,9%) died, no deaths due to COVID-19 infection. Mortality was higher in period II when compared to period I (11% vs. 8%, p=0,08). Conclusions: COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a decrease in surgical volume of high-risk patients without apparent recovery in recent years. No influence of COVID-19 was noted in postoperative mortality.

RESUMO Este artigo visa problematizar a participação de poetas na Copa do Mundo de Slam, campeonato mundial que ocorre anualmente em Paris. Em específico, pretende-se discutir questões de gênero, raça e decolonialidade nas performances poéticas de Bell Puã, slammer representante brasileira no evento de 2018, contrastando-as com outras performances de poetas europeus, brancos, cis, colonizadores, do Norte Global. Buscamos ainda defender o artivismo e o combarte como movimentos que envolvem os eventos de slams brasileiros e, por extensão, da América Latina e do Sul Global. Esta pesquisa, de cunho etnográfico, foi realizada in loco, no Grand Poetry Slam da França, em 2018 e em 2023, e no World Poetry Slam Championship (WPSC), campeonato mundial de slam realizado na Festa Literária das Periferias (FLUP), no Rio de Janeiro, em 2023. Os textos poéticos performados lá e cá revelam diferenças estéticas e, sobretudo, éticas, nas temáticas abordadas, o que se deve a fatores históricos, culturais e (geo)políticos que separam Norte e Sul Global.

Published: May 2024

Resumo: Discute-se o atual currículo-base da educação infantil boliviana denominado Programa de Estudio Educación Inicial en Familia Comunitaria Escolarizada, sua organização geral e, em especial, como a matemática é nele desenvolvida. As discussões foram amparadas nos estudos realizados por autoras/es cujos estudos versam sobre as temáticas descoloniais e a matemática na educação infantil. O currículo é descrito pela legislação como um instrumento descolonizador e libertador, por articular a cultura local com a participação da sociedade, na tomada de decisões nas políticas educacionais. A educação matemática articulada no currículo destaca, por meio das temáticas orientadoras, aspectos da intraculturalidade e da interculturalidade, criando possibilidades para que os saberes da família e da comunidade sejam reconhecidos. Isso permite o diálogo entre culturas, garantindo a visibilidade e o intercâmbio de outras lógicas epistêmicas, contribuindo para a construção de um pensamento descolonial.
