II. Dünya Savaşı Yıllarında Türkçü Dergiciliğin Bir Örneği Olarak Gök-Börü Dergisi
Authors: KARATAŞ Murat
Published: April 2020

Bu makalede, II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında Reha Oğuz Türkkan tarafından 5 Kasım 1942 – 23 Mayıs 1943 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’da 13 sayı olarak yayımlanan Gök-Börü dergisi konu edilmiştir. Derginin yayımlandığı dönemdeki en önemli özelliği Türkiye’de ırkçılığa dayanan bir milliyetçilik algısı oluşturmaya çalışması olmuştur. Bu anlamda dergi, öncüleri Ergenekon ve Bozkurt’taki gibi “Her Irkın Üstünde Türk Irkı” logosuyla Türklerin kendine has ve üstün olduğunu anlatmaya çalışmış ayrıca Batı emperyalizmine karşı Türk milletini içinde bulunduğu maddi ve manevi çöküş halinden kurtarmanın yolunun ırkçılıktan geçtiğini dile getirmiştir. Gök-Börü dergisinde tarih, edebiyat, sosyoloji, iktisat ve ırkçılık üzerine makaleler, şiirler ve karikatürler yer almaktadır. Ağırlıklı olarak Türkkan’ın yazılarının yer aldığı dergide, dönemin Türkçü ilim ve fikir adamlarından başka ilerleyen yıllarda Türk siyasi hayatında yer tutacak Nuri Demirağ ve Bülent Ecevit de kendilerine yer bulmuştur. Bu çalışmada Gök-Börü dergisi şekil ve içerik olarak ele alınmıştır. Derginin II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında çıkmış olmasının getirdiği siyasi ve psikolojik alt yapının yazılara nasıl yansıdığına, dergide yer alan yazılardan hareketle dönemin toplumsal havasına dair tespitlerde bulunulmuştur. Gök-Börü’de ırkçılık düşüncesi dışında Türkiye haricindeki Türklere dönük ilgiye dikkat çekilmiştir. Elde ettiğimiz veriler ışığında II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında Türkiye’de toplum tabanında Türklerin kendine has ve üstün olduğu ayrıca Türkiye haricindeki Türklere dönük ilginin yer bulduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Is History Losing its Popularity as an Academic Discipline? A Case Study of USA and Nigeria
Authors: AGWANDA Billy
Published: April 2020

During the past few decades, there has been attacks directed towards the discipline of history especially from postmodernist scholars who continue to emphasize that history is simply a form of narrative with questionable objectivity. These writers construe history as human construct that signifies and facilitates our understanding of the past. Throughout the development in human societies, History was a fundamental pillar and was once conceived as a noble discipline reserved only for the Royal families and the Nobles surrounding them. However, the 21st century is recording one of the lowest points for the discipline which has increasingly come under threat from the transformations in the dynamics of the society fuelled by a deeply entrenched capitalist system that influences the choice of careers in modern day society. Consequently, History has been relegated to a selective subject as a complement to other disciplines that are perceived to have higher income capacities such as international studies and diplomacy. This paper therefore, attempts to examine the study of History as an academic discipline in the United States and Nigeria by identifying the causes for such diminishing popularity of History as an academic discipline.
Atatürk'ün Sofrası
Authors: ERDOĞAN Abdullah
Published: April 2020

Kendisini iyi yetiştiren bireyin gerektiğinde devleti de iyi yöneteceğini söyleyen Eflatun (Platon), öğrencileri ile kendi evinin bahçesinde tartışmalar yapmıştır. İnsanlar genellikle kendilerini rahat hissetmedikleri durumlarda fikirlerini beyan etmekten kaçınabilirler. Bunun farkında olan Mustafa Kemal Atatürk sofrasına devlet adamlarını davet ederek sıcak bir ortam yaratmayı düşünmüştür. Bu sofrada iç politika, dış politika, ekonomi, tarih, coğrafya, dil gibi çeşitli bilimsel konular, günün önemli sorunları, inkılâp hareketleri ve bu doğrultuda her çeşit milli mesele görüşülmüştür. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’ni Ankara’dan Başbakan İsmet İnönü ve bakanlar yönettiği için bu sofrayı hükümet merkezi olarak algılamak yanlış olur. Atatürk’ün sofrasına katılabilmek için davet edilmiş olmak gerekmektedir. Ancak İsmet Paşa (İnönü), Dışişleri Bakanı Dr. Tevfik Rüştü Aras ve Şükrü Kaya’nın ayrıcalıkları vardır. Bunlar her zaman, işlerinden arta kalan zamanlarında ve gerek gördükleri vakit, hangi saatte olursa olsun, sofraya gelebilirlerdi.  Atatürk’ün sofranın özelliği şudur, sofrada sadece yemek yenmez önemli devlet işleri de tartışılırdı. Atatürk sofraya ne cins yemek gelirse onu yer, sofradaki çok çeşitli mezelerden yalnız çok sevdiği kavrulmuş leblebiyi tercih ederdi. Yemeklerden ise, omlet, karnıyarık ve kuru fasulyeyi severdi. Bu çalışmada Atatürk’ün sofrasının sıradan bir yemek sofrası olmadığı değerlendirilecektir.
Zeus Kültündeki Greko-Pers Etkileşimler
Authors: ABEDİ Farzad
Published: April 2020

Zeus kültündeki Greko-Pers etkileşimler, arkeolojik kanıtlar ve antik edebî eserler ışığında ortaya çıkarılabilir. Zeus, antik bir Hint-Avrupalı kökene sahipti. Akhamenid İmparatorluğu’nun kurulmasıyla birlikte, uzun bir süre birbirlerinden uzak kalan Hint-Avrupalı kültler, yeniden bir araya gelmişlerdir. Zeus da bu olayın sonucunda yeni etkileşimlerle karşılaşmıştır. Hinduizm’de gökyüzünün ata tanrısı olan Dyaus-Pitar’dan türetilen Zeus, Antik İran pantheonundaki kötümser tanrılar olan Daevalar’la ilişkilendirilmektedir. Ancak, Akhamenid İmparatorluğu kurulduktan sonra, hem antik edebî eserlerde, hem de arkeolojik ve epigrafik kanıtlar ışığında, Zeus’un daha çok Persler’in baş tanrısı olan Ahuramazda ile özdeşleştirilmesinden bahsedilir. Kafkaslar’da “Şimşekli Armazd” adı verilen tanrı, bu ilişkiyi açık bir şekilde yansıtmaktadır. Akhamenid İmparatorluğu çöktükten sonra, Doğu Anadolu’da baş kaldıran Yarı Persli hânedanlar, Ahuramazda ile Zeus’un birleşmesini hızlandırmışardır. Kommagene’de ortaya çıkan Zeus-Oramasdes, bu birleşimin önemli noktasıdır. Zeus kültündeki Greko-Pers etkileşimler konusunda, Ata-Kral-Tanrı kavramı da, yeni bir kavram olarak önem taşımaktadır. Arsakid sikkelerinde, Zeus biçiminde tasvir edilen kral ve kralın atası, bu konuyu kanıtlayan örneklerden sayılmaktadır. Bunun yanında, Yunan felsefî ve kültsel düşüncede, Kral-Tanrı kavramı, ilk defa Persli bir kral, yani I. Kserkses hakkında kullanılmıştır. Olympia’da keşfedilen Zeus ve Ganymedes terrakottası, söz edilen düşünceden kaynaklanmış olabilir. Sözü geçen Zeus, Pers etkili (?) bir sakal ve bıyığa sahip olduğu için, Ata-Kral-Tanrı kavramını temsil eden bir kanıt olarak kabul edilebilir.

An Examination of Khaje Atabak’s Tomb, a Remained Memorial Monument from Seljuks’ Era in Kerman
Authors: ROOSTA Jamshid
Published: April 2020

Seljuks ruled Kerman for almost a century and a half (433-583 A.H.) and left historical monuments in this city. The current study, being a basic examinational research, aims at introducing one of these memorial monuments named Khaje Atabak’s Tomb, while examining the works done to restore its outer façade and also the present condition of this monument. In order to collect the data library results were utilized along with field studies. The research questions include: 1. Who does Khaje Atabak’s Tomb belong to and when exactly has it been built? 2. What are the decorative details used in this monument? 3. What is the present condition of this place? The results of the study suggest that Khaje Atabak’s Tomb has been one of the most beautiful Iranian monuments of the 6th century AH, mainly famous for its diverse decorations and writings of the inscriptions. Brick decorations, Negin tiles, different plaster work with geometric and natural shapes, knotted Kufi inscriptions, thuluth calligraphy, and many more elegant decorations can be seen in this monument. Despite all this beauty, this place has remained unknown and requires substantial restoration, which has kept the writer occupied for a decade.

L’art de dissimuler les catastrophes et l’occasion de combattre quelques préjugés moraux
Authors: Lévy François
Published: April 2020

Faire dire aux mots, par le mensonge, autre chose que ce qu’ils désignent semble être une nécessité liée à l’assujettissement de tout humain au langage parlé, écrit ou non verbal. Ainsi le mensonge permet-il aussi bien de constituer un espace à soi que de dissimuler-et-révéler les troubles profonds affectant la pensée. Se distinguant de bien des analystes qui considèrent les menteurs comme « inanalysables », Bion a montré l’origine du processus mensonger dans les attaques portées contre les éléments présentés comme décrivant la réalité de façon fallacieuse, à condition que le menteur en tire profit. C’est ce qu’ont fait aussi certains auteurs – peintres, écrivains, malades mentaux – qui ont attaqué les mots pour que les mots ne les tuent pas.
Freud, Fließ et Weininger : une affaire de mot ?
Authors: Kamieniak Jean-Pierre
Published: April 2020

Si Fließ s’est efforcé de donner un contenu savant à l’idée de bisexualité , lequel impressionna le jeune chercheur qu’était alors son ami Freud, ce dernier ne tardera pas à tenter d’ériger ce vocable au fondement biologique fantaisiste en concept analytique, lui donnant cette dimension psychique féconde, le démarquant radicalement des convictions fliessiennes reprises par un Weininger dont le suicide précoce assurera la notoriété. De fait, Freud, bien malgré lui, se trouvera au cœur d’un imbroglio autour de cette notion alors réduite au seul mot de bisexualité.
Jusqu’où peut aller la défense de la psychanalyse ?
Authors: Aumercier Sandrine
Published: April 2020

Le Rapport sur les avancées et les apports des psychanalystes français dans le champ de la santé mentale , de la jeunesse et de la culture (2018) se présente comme une défense de la psychanalyse, à travers l’état des lieux des pratiques et des personnalités qui ont marqué son histoire en France. Il s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une critique du dsm par un collectif de psychiatres et de psychanalystes, et d’une montée en puissance de la conception néolibérale du soin dans tous les lieux qui ont affaire aux troubles psychiques. Mais à y regarder de plus près, sous couvert de défendre la profession des psychanalystes, ce rapport endosse imperceptiblement les références épistémologiques du camp adverse. Il cultive une ambivalence politique et une tiédeur théorique qui ne sauraient convenir pour une psychanalyse critique engagée dans la cité.
Bienveillance, un mot jeté à la mer ?
Authors: Frigout Stéphanie
Published: April 2020

La bienveillance occupe depuis quelques années le devant de la scène. Le champ scolaire n’y échappe pas. Discours et textes institutionnels en sont saturés. Une telle ubiquité questionne : s’agit-il d’un « faire écran » ? La prescription à la bienveillance viendrait-elle recouvrir conflits psychiques et fantasmes propres à la relation éducative ? Si le mot survit à son martellement, ce n’est pas sans engager une réelle réflexion sur les résonances singulières qu’il a pour les enseignants.
La métropole de Haute-Silésie, une gouvernance territoriale innovante
Authors: Pyka Robert , Behr Valentin
Published: April 2020

La Métropole de Katowice, dans la voïvodie de Silésie en Pologne, constitue une expérimentation politique originale : elle est devenue en 2017 la première communauté métropolitaine de Pologne, donnant ainsi naissance à un niveau de coopération intercommunale inédit. Cette construction institutionnelle marque un tournant dans le phénomène métropolitain en Pologne, avec la création de nouveaux rôles politiques et échelles d’action publique. Elle pose aussi la question de la légitimité démocratique de l’échelon métropolitain. L’article revient sur le processus d’institutionnalisation du niveau métropolitain à Katowice et en souligne les spécificités, avant de présenter les résultats d’enquêtes évaluant la perception de ce phénomène par les élus locaux.
Le paradoxe syndical européen : les tensions entre échelons européen et international au sein de la fédération internationale des travailleurs des transports
Authors: Crochemore Kevin
Published: April 2020

Les organisations syndicales internationales (OSI) se sont constituées sur une base nationale à travers l’ensemble des représentants syndicaux d’organisations qui leur sont affiliées. Or, ces délégués ne représentent pas la même force syndicale selon la puissance de leur organisation. Ces éléments expliquent la place qu’ils occupent parmi les OSI. Au sein des organisations représentant le secteur des transports le problème se double d’une dimension européenne liée à l’histoire des rapports entre l’échelon international et européen.
Heidegger : une phénoménologie de la liberté ?
Authors: Anelli Alberto
Published: April 2020

Le détachement de Heidegger de la phénoménologie transcendantale de Husserl est habituellement interprété comme un tournant vers la temporalité, l’historicité, l’existence et le processus décisionnel. Cependant, le tournant herméneutique de Heidegger mérite d’être mieux vérifié. Le phénomène de la liberté humaine offre une perspective privilégiée pour accomplir cette tâche : en analysant les divers concepts de liberté chez Heidegger, le but de cet article est d’identifier l’idée originale, bien que problématique, qui sous-tend toutes ces conceptions. Cette idée consiste dans le fait que l’événement de la décision s’inscrit dans un cadre a priori – celui de la relation de l’homme avec l’Être – qui précède l’expérience, l’historicité et les formes concrètes de l’existence humaine. Par conséquent, dans la pensée de Heidegger, la dimension pratique et historique de l’existence risque de ne pas jouer un rôle significatif pour la liberté humaine.
« En chair et en os »
Authors: Falque Emmanuel
Published: April 2020

« En chair et en os », le mot vaut certes pour la phénoménologie qu’on traduira par la présence en personne ( leibhaftig ). Mais c’est aussi un mot pour la théologie. Le Christ n’est-il pas lui-même ressuscité « en chair et en os » ( sarka kai ostea ) pour suivre l’évangile de Luc : « un esprit n’a ni chair ni os comme vous voyez que j’en ai » (Lc 24,39) ? L’homologie des termes, apparemment fortuite, de la philosophie et de la théologie impose de penser un « choc en retour » de la théologie sur la philosophie. Peut-être pourrait-il se faire qu’on ne puisse en rester ni à la simple apparition de la chair (désincarnation du corps) ni au pur spiritualisme de la résurrection (sorte de gnose). Dépassant la présence en personne (Husserl) ou la donation incarnée (Heidegger), cet essai propose paradoxalement de revenir au corps praxique (Marx) pour penser une véritable réalité pour nous du Christ ressuscité.

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
Authors: Garg Ashok , Agrawal Deepak , Sharma G. L.
Published: April 2020

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is characterized by eosinophilic tissue damage. The clinical presentation is variable. When there is cardiac involvement, which occurs in 40%–60% of cases, it is referred commonly as Loeffler's endocarditis. Recently, a unique case report was published by Dr. Garg et al., in which they described pulmonary valve involvement with thickening and stenosis detected by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in an adult presenting with Loeffler's endocarditis. Based on this case report, we review this topic to elucidate various manifestations of hypereosinophilic syndrome, which we should expect during echocardiography.
Cor Triatriatum Sinister
Authors: Banerji Ishita
Published: April 2020

A 10-year-old boy presented with complaints of poor weight gain, progressively increasing dyspnea since early childhood, and orthopnea. Echocardiogram was suggestive of cor triatriatum. Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the left atrium (cor triatriatum sinister) or the right atrium (cor triatriatum dextrum) is divided into two compartments by an abnormal fibromuscular septum usually with an opening between the two chambers associated with varying degrees of obstruction of the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary venous return is followed by pulmonary arterial hypertension. Cor triatriatum literally means a heart with three atria (triatrial heart), namely, the superior chamber, the inferior chamber or the true atrium, and the atrial appendage. This anomaly occurs in 0.4% of patients with congenital heart defects, with a slight male predominance. The present case of cor triatriatum sinister is being reported in view of the fact that the child remained undiagnosed till the age of 10 years, despite being “sick since a little boy” requiring multiple hospital admissions for chest infections. He had been receiving treatment for “chest problem” and had been on bronchodilators. The classical echocardiographic findings would be of academic interest as well.
Pericardial Constriction with Severe Mitral Regurgitation
Authors: Deshpande Saurabh Ajit , Koshy A. George , Iype Mathew , Viswanathan K. Sunitha
Published: April 2020

Pericardial constriction is a condition, in which there is a lack of transmission of changes in intrathoracic pressures to the structures encased in pericardium due to thickened, fibrosed, and most of the cases, calcified pericardium. A 24-year-old male presented to us in right heart failure. There was a history of diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever with carditis in childhood. X-ray and echocardiogram gave us a probable diagnosis of rheumatic constrictive pericarditis (CP) with mitral regurgitation (MR). The diagnosis of CP was confirmed with computed tomography chest and invasive hemodynamic assessment. He had significantly elevated pulmonary artery (PA) pressures and elevated left ventricular dip diastolic pressures, which were unexpected findings. We have discussed the probable causes of associated MR and elevated PA pressures in this case report. We have also tried to differentiate CP from restrictive cardiomyopathy, specifically endomyocardial fibrosis, which is common in the state of Kerala.

Published: April 2020

Acute thromboembolism resulting in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction years after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is an uncommon occurrence. 38 years old female admitted with chest pain of 8 hours duration. Patient had history of Aortic valve replacement 3 years. Patient on evaluation found to have infero-lateral wall myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) was done, which showed occlusive thrombus in the left coronary artery. The left circumflex artery after second obtuse marginal branch had total occlusion, and distal left anterior descending had total occlusion with thrombus containing lesion, whereas the right coronary artery was normal. The patient was thrombolyzed with intravenous streptokinase 1.5 mIU over 30 min infusion with door-to-needle time of 75 min. Pre- and postprocedure echocardiogram showed no evidence of thrombus. Gradient across the aortic valve and mobility was within the normal limits. Check CAG after 7 days showed resolution of thrombus burden in coronaries.
Role of Flow Propagation Velocity Across Mitral Valve in the Assessment of Diastolic Dysfunction and Prognostication in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Prasad Ravi Vishnu , Singh Kumar Vikram , Sethi K. K. , Singh Sukhvinder
Published: April 2020

Background:

The importance of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction as a predictor of mortality and morbidity after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is well known. In MI, Doppler echocardiography can be used to determine the LV diastolic function, and a restrictive transmitral flow pattern has been related to the development of congestive heart failure and increased mortality. In patients with various etiologies of LV systolic dysfunction, restrictive filling has also proven to be an independent predictor of adverse outcome.

Materials and Methods:

130 patients who presented with diagnosis of acute MI were included. Echocardiography was performed within 24 hours of arrival to the coronary care unit. Most widely used approach for measuring mitral-to-apical flow was used for velocity propagation. Based on the ratio E/Vp, patients divided into two groups with E/Vp <1.5 and E/Vp >1.5. Patients were followed up subsequently.

Results:

In the study population, the average age of patients was 59 ± 11.6 years. There were 105 male (80.77%) and 25 female patients (19.23%). On evaluation of risk factors, 69 patients (53.08%) were hypertensive, 71 patients (54.62%) were diabetic, 7 patients (5.38%) were smokers, and 43 patients (33.08%) had dyslipidemia. In patients with E/Vp <1.5, 31 patients (73.81%) had Grade I diastolic dysfunction (DD) and 10 patients (23.81%) had Grade II DD. One patient (2.38%) had Grade III DD. In patients with E/Vp >1.5, 20 patients (22.73%) had Grade I DD, 52 patients (59.09%) had Grade II DD and 16 patients (18.18%) had Grade III DD.

Conclusion:

In this echocardiographic study of 130 patients with MI E/Vp measured with color M mode is easily obtainable and this E/Vp is a strong predictor of heart failure and mortality. The ratio of peak E wave velocity to flow propagation velocity can be used with other diastolic function variables in predicting outcome. Furthermore, these Doppler variables may be used as simple tools to rapidly risk stratify patients with acute MI.
A Rare Case of Coexisting Subaortic and Submitral Left Ventricular Aneurysms
Authors: Mishra Biswaranjan
Published: April 2020

Subvalvar left ventricular aneurysm is a rare disorder. Commonly it occurs below the posterior annulus of the mitral valve. Rarely the aneurysm may be found below the aortic annulus. Coexistence of both aortic and submitral aneurysms is still rarer. Here is a 58-year-male who presented with heart failure. Echo revealed an aneurysm below the aortic annulus adjacent to right coronary cusp collapsing in diastole and enlarging in systole. Doppler interrogation showed flow into and out of aneurysm from left ventricle and mild aortic regurgitation. In addition there was a submitral aneurysm below the posterior mitral leaflet with a single localised neck and mild mitral regurgitation. There was evidence of moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction and grade II diastolic dysfunction with features of right heart failure. He was given diuretics and referred for surgery.
Role of Chest X-Ray for the Detection of Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Published: April 2020

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a common prevalent problem leading to various kinds of morbidities and can be the potential cause of deaths directly or indirectly in approximately onethird of the cases. Early diagnosis accompanied by early treatment has shown to reduce the morbidity. Due to variable clinical presentation and non-specific symptoms, early diagnosis can be challenging at times. Suspecting this entity on plain radiograph can play important role in early detection and use of subsequent image modalities, i.e. CT angiography and/or echocardiography to establish the diagnosis, leading to improved outcomes. This review highlights the role of chest X ray and CT in diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism.
Entrepreneurship Advancement and Malaysia Immigrant Policy: A Conceptual Analysis
Authors: Adelaja Ayotunde Adetola
Published: April 2020

The migration process in the 21st century has become a global phenomenon to the extent that governments are in huge competition to make their place migration destination specifically for international students due to several skills, knowledge and entrepreneurial ideas they have. Owing to these reasons, this paper conceptually analyze the prospect and challenges of integrating from entrepreneurial lens international students into the Malaysian entrepreneurship atmosphere. Considering this, it is suggested in this study that Malaysia entrepreneurship policy should be inclusive to embrace foreign participation. Also, the immigrant policy which has increased the flow of international students needs to be complemented with freedom to engage in a legal business activities. It is therefore conceptually opined that the amendment of the immigrant policy which should be regulated will increase the attitudinal change towards Malaysia generally and it would place the entrepreneurship policy more viable.

Intellectual Freedom and Inclusivity: Opposites or Partners?
Authors: Thomas Deborah A.
Published: April 2020

A commentary on a recent controversy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, when a speaker considered to be transphobic was allowed to book a meeting room at Vancouver Public Library. The library defended the right of the speaker to her freedom of expression, though certain conditions were placed on the event and the library publicly distanced itself from her views. The library has experienced a fractured relationship with the transgendered and gender non-confirming community since the event which it is attempting to mend.  This article is an exploration of the arguments on both sides in the library community and beyond and of the larger questions about the use of public meeting rooms and freedom of expression in the 21st century. It is also about the personal journey of the author, an advocate for both intellectual freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, and her conversations to those attempting to find a new definition of what constititutes intellectual freedom.

Published: April 2020

Considerando a importância de se pesquisar acerca de tecnologias móveis, o presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar como se dá a experiência mobile in store em lojas de um shopping center. A coleta de dados se deu no maior shopping da cidade de João Pessoa-PB, utilizou-se um roteiro de pesquisa estruturado para conduzir a observação participante realizada em trinta e duas empresas. Após coletados, os dados foram analisados por meio de uma análise interpretativa-descritiva e confrontados com a teoria, para tanto criou-se as categorias de observação: Uso de tecnologias mobile, Capacitação dos colaboradores, Ambiente da loja, Relacionamento com o cliente e Canais de venda. A partir das análises, observou-se que a adoção de tecnologias mobile pelas empresas analisadas ainda é mínima, de modo que não são realizados esforços em torno da capacitação dos colaboradores, adequações no ambiente da loja, estratégias de relacionamento com o cliente e canais de venda. Tal fato permite concluir que a experiência mobile em lojas de um shopping de João Pessoa é incipiente, de modo que poderiam ser adotadas tecnologias, mesmo as mais básicas como a disponibilidade de internet móvel para que as lojas se adequassem à essa crescente dinâmica de consumo.

A pesquisa mostrou também que os técnico-administrativos em educação da UTFPR se sentem preparados e querem contribuir com a Instituição, e que a Universidade tem executado uma política de pessoal que em certos aspectos é bem recepcionada na percepção dos pesquisados, mas que precisa dar maior atenção a alguns pontos cujos resultados registrados neste estudo tiveram um percentual de respostas indicando percepções abaixo do nível satisfatório, já que essas percepções podem evoluir positivamente ou negativamente a depender das ações tomadas pela UTFPR.
Reflexões sobre aprendizagem e inovação em organizações: uma visão acerca dos aspectos temporais e contextuais
Authors: Silva Simone Costa , Mendes Primo Marcos André , Lucena Eduardo de Aquino , Silva Jéssica Micaelly Santana do Nascimento , Carvalho Eunice Ferreira
Published: April 2020

Aprendizagem e inovação em organizações são processos complexos e apresentam uma vasta literatura fundamentada em diferentes conceitos e perspectivas. O tempo e o contexto organizacional aparecem como elementos capazes de exercer influência na aprendizagem, o que por sua vez exerce influência na inovação, já que esta é resultante do processo de aprendizagem. Logo, é a partir do processo de aprendizagem que novos conhecimentos surgem, impulsionando mudanças tecnológicas e inovações, proporcionando diferenciação e competitividade para as organizações.

Abstract. Background: The role of daptomycin, a potent, safe, convenient anti-staphylococcal antibiotic, in treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is unclear. We evaluated our experience with the largest cohort of patients with staphylococcal PJI managed with daptomycin.Methods: A cohort of staphylococcal hip and knee PJI treated with daptomycin was identified by hospital records from 2009 to 2016. All cases met Musculoskeletal Infection Society International Consensus criteria for PJI. The primary endpoint was 2 year prosthesis retention. Univariate analyses and regression statistics were calculated.Results: 341 patients with staphylococcal PJI were analyzed. 154 two-stages (77%) and 74 DAIR procedures (52%) met criteria for treatment success at 2 years. 77 patients were treated with daptomycin, of which 34 two-stages (68%) and 15 DAIRs (56%) achieved treatment success. Pairwise and regression analysis found no association between treatment success and daptomycin use. Organism (DAIR only) and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (DAIR and two-stage) were significantly associated with treatment outcome. Six daptomycin patients (7.8%) had adverse side effects.Discussion: Daptomycin fared no better or worse than comparable antibiotics in a retrospective cohort of staphylococcal hip and knee PJI patients, regardless of surgical strategy.Conclusion: The convenient dosing, safety, and potency of daptomycin make it an attractive antibiotic for staphylococcal PJI. However, these advantages must be weighed against higher costs and rare, but serious side effects.

Published: April 2020

Abstract. Introduction: Pressure ulcer-related pelvic osteomyelitis is a relatively under-studied entity in the field of bone infection. We sought to add to the limited evidence base for managing this challenging syndrome.Methods: Cases were identified retrospectively from a surgical database and hospital discharge codes at a U.K. tertiary centre (2009-2018). Risk factors associated with outcomes were analysed by logistic regression.Results: We identified 35 patients (mean age 57.4 years), 69% managed with a combined medical and surgical approach, with mean follow-up of 3.7 years from index admission. Treatment failure (requiring further surgery or intravenous antimicrobials) occurred in 71% and eventual ulcer healing in 36%. One-year mortality was 23%. Lack of formal care support on discharge, post-traumatic (asensate) neurological deficit and index CRP (>184mg/L) were associated with treatment failure (p=0.001). Age (>59.5 years), lack of attempted soft tissue coverage, haemoglobin (<111g/L) and albumin (<25g/L) were associated with non-healing ulcers (p=0.003). Superficial wound swabs had low sensitivity and specificity compared to deep bone microbiology. Infection (based on deep bone microbiology from 46 infection episodes) was usually polymicrobial (87%), commonly involving S. aureus, Enterococci, GNB and anaerobes. Antimicrobial duration ranged from 0-103 days (mean 54) and was not associated with subsequent treatment failure.Conclusions: Attempted soft tissue coverage after surgical debridement, ensuring appropriate support for personal care after discharge and nutritional optimisation could improve outcomes. Superficial wound swabs are uninformative and deep bone sampling should be pursued. Long antimicrobial courses do not improve outcomes. Clinicians should engage patients in anticipatory care planning.

Abstract. Clostridium cadaveris, named following its identification in human corpses, is an unusual pathogen. We report the first case of C. cadaveris osteomyelitis. This case highlights the importance of deep tissue sampling and appropriate culture to correctly identify causative pathogens and guide targeted antimicrobial therapy in difficult-to-treat infections like chronic osteomyelitis.
Construction of a personal myth in existential psychocorrection of those convicted of extremism

Published: April 2020

The subject of this research is a personal myth of the sentenced for extremism. The goal consists in examination of the inner world of convicts through their personal myth as a potential of psychocorrection work. The conceptual ground for this research is the theory of multidimensional lifeworld structure, whole the methodological approach is the construction of a personal myth. The authors elucidate the experience of using the possibility of construction of a personal myth in existential psychocorrection work with those convicted of extremism. The fundamental principles of counseling work with inmates in a penitentiary facility are reviewed. The study involved male extremist offenders serving sentence in the Federal Penal Enforcement Service of Tomsk. The dynamics of the process of existential psychocorrection consisted in the development of self-awareness, modifying the perceptive structures and transforming the concept of “Self and the outside world”. In the context of existential psychocorrection, personal myth is not a psychotechnology or an approach used for solving the problems of personal existential problematic, but a qualitative method determining the approaches towards solution of such problems.

Published: April 2020

Aim: Considering the technological age that we find ourselves in this 21st century, it would be expected that, the number of students willing to study physics will increase exponentially. However, reports indicate a sharp reduction of students in physics classrooms. This study therefore sought to identify the challenges and way forward for improving physics teaching and learning in Senior High Schools in Ghana.

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional survey was used for the study.

Methodology: The main instrument used for the study was questionnaire. The sample size for the study comprised both physics teachers and students. The sample size for the teachers was made up of 38 teachers which comprised 34 males and 4 females who were selected using the convenient sampling approach. The sample size for the students consisted of 750 students selected by stratified sampling of which 520 were males and 230 were females.

Results: While the teachers perceived the most important factor affecting the teaching and learning of physics to be students-related problem, the students on the other hand perceived the major challenge affecting the teaching and learning of physics to be teacher-related. For both teachers and students, provision of adequate resources like well-equipped laboratories for teaching and learning is an assured way of improving the teaching and learning of physics in senior high schools in Ghana.

Conclusions: The challenges in teaching physics as perceived by both teachers and students are teacher related, student-related and resource-constraints It was recommended that the government must make conscious effort to provide the schools with adequate science resources to facilitate the practical approach to teaching and learning of physics.

Published: April 2020

The Murzuq Basin, in Southwestern Libya, is one of Libyan’s most productive petroleum basins, with reserves estimated at 23 billion barrels recoverable of hydrocarbon equivalent within giant oil fields. Four crude oil samples collected from A1-NC186, E1-NC101, E2-NC101, H10-NC115 wells from Murzuq Basin, Libya, were suggested for bulk analysis and physical proprieties, alkane distribution and isoprenoids and the hopane, tricyclic terpane and sterane distributions of the oils, to confirm the presence of non-marine organic matter sources and/or any evidence of its existence. The oils show no significant variation in the ratios of the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur content (CHNS) composition. All samples recorded high to very high API° gravity, ranges 33.8 to 40.3; the sulfur values ranged from 0.31 to 0.45%, the wax ratio in crude oils is showing a great variety, E1-NC101and E2-NC101 oils show higher wax content, ranging from 6.1 to 6.7%. Pristine to Phytane ratios (Pr/Ph) range from 1.61 to 2.22 and the Pr/n-C17, Ph/n-C18, n-C17/n-C27 and CPI values determined as indicators of the depositional environment of the crude oils. The data of search confirmed that the crude oils were derived from marine, mixed and terrestrial sediments.

Aim: This study investigates toxicological effect of biodiesel smokes on cellular system of albino rats.

Study Design: Biodiesel was blended with fuel diesel at 100, 75, 50, and 25% v/v. Rats were exposed to each flame for 120 seconds daily over a period of ten days.

Place and Duration of Study: Laboratory work was carried out in the Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Nigeria.

Methodology: Rats were grouped into six each containing six rats designated; Control group (no exposure), FD (exposed to smoke of fuel diesel), 100BD, 75BD, 50BD and 25BD exposed to 100, 75, 50 and 25% blend of biodiesel respectively. Afterwards, rats were sacrificed, liver, lungs and brain was isolated and homogenized. Serum was also separated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), choline esterase (CEST) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were assayed for in the selected tissues.

Results: ALP activity of liver of rats in Control group was significantly higher (p<.05) relative to rats in other treatment groups. Lungs ACP activity of rats in Control groups was 3 folds that of rats in FD group, 2 folds those of rats in 100BD, 75BD and 25BD groups. CEST activity in brain of rats in Control group was 3 folds that of FD group and two folds that of 50BD and 25BD group of rats. Conversely, serum CEST activity of rats in Control group was significantly lower (p<.05) relative to that of other treatment groups it is about 16% that of FD group in particular. Serum MDA level of Control rats was significantly lower (p<.05) relative to each of the other treatment groups.

Conclusion: Biochemical evidence from this study indicated loss of membrane integrity, possible inflammation of cells of the brain, lungs, and liver.
