Relasi antara Sastra dan Politik (Analisis Unsur-unsur Politik dalam Puisi Masa Dinasti Umayyah)
Authors: Rahman Bobbi Aidi
Published: July 2019

Relasi sastra dan politik terlihat jelas pada periode kekuasaan pemerintahan Dinasti Umayyah, politik sangat mendominasi perkembangan sastra khususnya puisi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pergolakan dan kecenderungan politik yang lebih mendominasi kehidupan masyarakatnya. Seiring dengan munculnya faksi atau sekte politik, muncul pula para penyair yang mendukung beberapa sekte politik. Setiap penyair tidak terlepas dari fungsi politis, mereka setia mendukung sekte atau partai politiknya, baik secara terang-terangan maupun secara sembunyi-sembunyi. Bahkan ada juga yang harus berlaku munafik dengan mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak diyakini, menentang perasaan sendiri demi penguasa dan keselamatan, atau demi mengharapkan imbalan dari para khalifah.

Published: July 2019

This paper presents a new analytical model in Arabic linguistictreasures. The analysis in the realm of Arabic syntax tends to bedominated by classical approaches and has not touched moderntheory. To close the gap, the authors propose a structural analysismodel of Zellig Harris in the linguistic literature of structuralism. Theauthors analyze several verses of the Qur'an to parse the structure ofthe verses. Based on the analysis, the authors prove that the ZelligHarris's structural syntactic theory can be applied to Arabic as well.

Published: July 2019

We report an inventory of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea present at the campus of the University of Sucre, Sincelejo, Colombia. Specimens were captured between the months of May and June 2016. A total of 510 specimens were collected belonging to 3 families, 8 subfamilies, 27 genera, and 34 species. The subfamilies presenting the greatest diversity were Scarabaeinae and Dynastinae. For the first time the following 8 species were recorded for Sucre Department: Anomala valida Burmeister, 1844, Liogenys quadridens (Fabricius, 1798), Megasoma elephas (Fabricius, 1775), Omorgus suberosus (Fabricius, 1775), Phileurus didymus (Linnaeus, 1758), Phileurus valgus (Olivier, 1789), Phyllo­phaga menetriesi (Blanchard, 1850), and Xenopelidnota anomala (Burmeister, 1844). We highlight the importance of green zones within urban areas as possible faunistic refugia for different taxonomic groups, especially for the beetles of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea.
Ethical research in the secondary school classroom
Authors: Briggs Susan
Published: July 2019

Two key ethical principles of research in the secondary school classroom are voluntary participation and informed consent. Voluntary participation is the principle that participants should be able to freely choose whether or not they participate in the research, in any way, big or small (Mutch, 2005). Informed consent is the principle that the participants should be thoroughly and accurately informed of the purpose, processes and dissemination of the findings of the research, and give their consent accordingly (Mutch, 2005). Ethical principles have been established by research institutions, such as universities, to ensure that participants in educational research are not treated as passive objects by the researcher (Snook, 2003), and so that no personal harm results from the research process. This article will discuss these two ethical principles, and examine two research scenarios in secondary schools where ethical dilemmas arise. Potential ways to address these ethical concerns and minimise risk are explored, with a view to encouraging teacher reflection and consideration of research situations that may require the voluntary participation and informed consent of secondary school students in classrooms.
Making multiplication meaningful: Teaching for conceptual understanding
Authors: Mills Judith
Published: July 2019

The term numeracy is used widely in schools today and brings with it the expectation that students will be taught both how to do the mathematics, alongside an understanding of the concepts associated with the procedural application. One issue, which has arisen with the terminology ‘numeracy classroom’, is how to best support teachers to enhance their teaching of mathematics to allow this understanding to occur. This article stems from a larger research study that analysed the professional knowledge of teachers when teaching numeracy, and the impact their mathematics knowledge and procedural application had on children’s learning. This article presents observations of three teachers teaching a multiplication lesson (the first in a series of lessons over a six-week period) as they developed their students’ understanding of the mathematical concepts associated with the interpretation of the multiplication symbol. An analysis of the findings shows when the teachers used manipulatives, related word problems to the children’s lives, and promoted discussion in groups, a greater understanding of multiplication was apparent.

Authors: Gorbunova Tatiana V. , Rodina Anastasia D. , Shishkov Ruslan V. , Ivanova Natalia V. , Glekov Igor V. , Malachova Alina A. , Polyakov Vladimir G.
Published: July 2019

The incidence of esthesioneuroblastoma in children under 15 years of age is 0.1 per 100.000 children. Distinctive histological features of this tumor are diffuse accumulation of neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, chromogranin, and variable expression of cytokeratins. Diagnosis of the tumor includes endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) of the skull base, paranasal sinuses with intravenous contrast. PET-CT is advisable to use for the detection of regional and distant metastases, as well as for suspected relapse. In patients of adult age, a negative effect on the outcome of the disease was detected, the detection of metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck, the presence of tumor cells at the edges of tumor resection and a high degree of malignancy of the tumor according to the Hyams system. Therapeutic approaches depend on the stage of esthesioneuroblastoma by Kadish. In the A-stage, surgical treatment is advisable. In the presence of tumor cells at the edges of the resection or residual tumor, radiation therapy is performed. In case of B-stage, surgical treatment is combined with the mandatory irradiation of the primary tumor area. In patients with the C-stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation is performed, followed by a surgical treatment, adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Patients with D-stage chemoradiation therapy is indicated. There is no consensus on an effective drug regimen. Overall 5-year survival varies significantly depending on the design of the study — 55% to 98%. Further study of the features of the clinical picture, morphological and molecular features and the course of the disease will help to improve our understanding of the nature of the tumor.

A reformulated hardening soil model
Authors: Bower Thomas A. , Jefferson Anthony D. , Cleall Peter J.
Published: July 2019

The hardening soil (HS) model is an advanced soil plasticity model, which incorporates many features including stiffness stress dependency, hardening from initial loading and soil dilatancy. In this paper, the HS model is explored in depth and two improvements are proposed. The first is a new shear yield surface and hardening rule that have been reformulated to remove singularities. The second is a robust implicit return mapping scheme. Options for improving the global convergence of finite-element analyses are also explored. Single-elements tests replicate results from experimental triaxial data and previous versions of the HS model very closely, and at excellent convergence rates. In addition, a slope stability analysis is performed using the φ − c strength reduction method in two-dimensional plane strain. The results from the slope analysis showed good agreement with analytical and graphical slope stability methods. A three-dimensional (3D) slope stability analysis was also conducted with modified boundary conditions, in order to demonstrate the 3D capabilities of the model.
A comparison of frictional and socketed concrete injected columns in a transition zone
Authors: Mahdavi H. , Fatahi B. , Khabbaz H.
Published: July 2019

This paper sets out to investigate the options available for the transition from Concrete Injected Columns (CICs) to other ground improvement methods, used away from the bridge abutment. Two possible alternatives, widely spaced CICs socketed into stiff material and shorter, closely spaced, frictional CICs, were numerically simulated using FLAC3D software considering the dissipation of porewater pressure and variation of soil permeability with time. The total length of the CICs and the total volume of concrete used for their construction were the same for both alternatives. A geosynthetic layer was introduced into the load transfer platform, and interface elements were incorporated to simulate CIC-soil interaction. The numerical results were also compared with an established analytical solution and a good agreement was achieved. A comparison was then made between the two scenarios; indeed, the embankment on frictional CICs experienced less settlement on the surface, less loads in the geosynthetic, and the bending moments and shear forces generated in the columns were less than the corresponding values for socketed CICs. This study offers an enhanced understanding of the available options to practising engineers when designing road embankments on soft soil.

The paper presents the development of a three-dimensional finite-element model for pile tests in dense Dunkirk sand, conducted as part of the PISA project. The project was aimed at developing improved design methods for laterally loaded piles, as used in offshore wind turbine foundations. The importance of the consistent and integrated interpretation of the soil data from laboratory and field investigations is particularly emphasised. The chosen constitutive model for sand is an enhanced version of the state parameter-based bounding surface plasticity model, which, crucially, is able to reproduce the dependency of sand behaviour on void ratio and stress level. The predictions from three-dimensional finite-element analyses, performed before the field tests, show good agreement with the measured behaviour, proving the adequacy of the developed numerical model and the calibration process for the constitutive model. This numerical model directly facilitated the development of new soil reaction curves for use in Winkler-type design models for laterally loaded piles in natural marine sands.
Seismic design of steel moment-resisting structures based on life-cycle cost
Authors: Behnam Behrouz
Published: July 2019

The design of structures based on a design earthquake mainly addresses the direct cost incurred during the construction phase, while the lifetime cost of the structure is often ignored. An investigation was performed on three steel moment-resisting structures of four storeys (case 1), seven storeys (case 2) and ten storeys (case 3) and their life-cycle costs (LCCs) were determined based on different earthquake loads. Each of the structures was designed 14 times: one model for a design earthquake, five models for higher earthquake loads and eight models for lower earthquake loads. The results revealed that none of the structures designed based on the design earthquake provided a minimum LCC. In cases 1 to 3, the LCCs were minimised when a 60%, 50% 40% increase was applied to the design earthquake, respectively. The aim of this work is not to criticise current seismic codes with respect to life safety during an earthquake, but to provoke different parts of engineering communities to think about how an LCC-based design can change costs imposed on their clients, be this the cost of repair and relocation or the cost of injuries and disabilities. The proposed methodology can be used as a case-independent tool for different structures.

Polyphenol-Based Design of Functional Olive Leaf Infusions
Authors: Peršurić Željka , Saftić Lara , Klisović Dora , Kraljević Pavelić Sandra
Published: July 2019

The beneficial properties of polyphenols are widely recognized, and polyphenol-rich olive oil, which is part of the typical Mediterranean diet, has been identified as having positive health effects. However, over the past decade, olive leaves have been discovered as an alternative polyphenol-rich source. This is particularly interesting in the context of the growing interest in functional foods, as well as in terms of the management of biological waste, including olive leaves that are left over from the production of olive oil. Previous studies on olive leaves confirmed that they have a high phenolic content, which explains their previously described strong antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiviral activity. Therefore, the major aim of our work is to comprehensively determine olive leaf phenolic content in cultivars Istarska bjelica, Leccino and Buža as a natural source of bioactive compounds suitable for daily consumption in the form of infusion. For this purpose, we examined the influence of olive leaf cultivar, maceration time and temperature on the phenolic composition of final infusions. Phenolic compounds were analysed by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC-QQQ). As expected, the results indicate the significant influence of not only the olive cultivar but also of maceration parameters on the qualitative and quantitative phenolic composition. The highest phenolic compound content was obtained in the infusion of Istarska bjelica leaves after 15 min of maceration. However, the Buža olive leaf infusion had the most diverse phenolic composition. Furthermore, we designed several functional olive leaf infusion mixtures with phenolic compositions adjusted based on the desired health effect. The results show the role of phenolic composition adjustment in the development and improvement of the quality of functional olive leaf infusions.

Ello tuvo que ver con la implantación de la producción en masa que, como institución técnico-organizativa e instrumento de control del proceso productivo, provocó la formación de una clase media trabajadora, poseedora de capital cognitivo técnico, y convertida en pequeña propietaria de bienes obtenidos mediante el mercado de consumo de masas.
Sobre lógicas culturales, minorías nacionales y prácticas religiosas en contextos multiculturales. El caso de la cofradía mouride en la emigración senegalesa
Authors: Moreno-Maestro Susana
Published: July 2019

El presente texto analiza, en el marco de la glocalización, cómo las creen- cias y prácticas religiosas sufíes de la comunidad senegalesa constituyen un ámbito de reafirmación identitaria fundamental en contextos multiculturales de emigración marcados por la desigualdad de derechos. Aportamos un análisis de la cofradía mou- ride senegalesa en Andalucía, donde el marco jurídico español y europeo en materia de extranjería condiciona la vida de una parte importante de su población y donde existe un imaginario colonial sobre los pueblos africanos fuertemente evolucionista y etnocéntrico. Centrándonos en el papel que juegan las creencias y prácticas religiosas en la vida de la población senegalesa en Andalucía, prestaremos especial atención a dos aspectos: por un lado, a la dimensión pública de la fe religiosa mouride, analizando las conti- nuidades y transformaciones que tienen lugar en este contexto migratorio —principal- mente, en la ética del trabajo y la vinculación talibé-marabout—, y, por otro lado, al aspecto identitario, partiendo de la hipótesis de que, en el colectivo senegalés en An- dalucía, hay una reafirmación de las identidades negroafricana y senegalesa a partir de la afirmación de la identidad mouride y de que solamente desde esta reafirmación cultural hay posibilidad de participación social.

Authors: Fedorchuk S. , Lysenko O. , Tukaiev S.
Published: July 2019

The purpose of the study was to determine the neurodynamic and psychological properties of elite cyclists concerning the level of mobilizationin the reaction to the moving object. In order to determine the neurodynamic properties of athletes we used the diagnostic complex "Diagnost-1".

The reaction to the moving object was used to monitor and predict the functional state of the central nervous system of athletes, to assess thespeed and accuracy of the response, the excitation/inhibition ratio, and the balance of nervous processes. Moreover, we have analyzed the forceand functional mobility of nervous processes, the sensorimotor activity, namely the dynamics of nervous processes, the efficiency and speed ofboth the simple sensorimotor reaction, and the simple and complex sensorimotor choosing reaction, the sensorimotor asymmetry index, and otherparameters.

Hans Eysenck's Personality Inventory (EPI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by C. Spielberger (adapted by Y. Hanin) and the Luscher color test allowed determining individual typological characteristics and the psycho-emotional state of athletes. The results of the reaction to the moving objects revealed differences between cycling athletes with high, medium and low mobilization rates. The most optimal functional state of the central nervous system in terms of the reaction to the moving object was specific to the cyclists with the low level of mobilization. Athletes with a high level of mobilization did not demonstrate significant differences in the reactions to the moving objects, but differed the higher stability in the complex sensory-motor choice reaction. Athletes with the medium level of mobilization in the reaction to the moving objects were characterized by the lowest level of State Anxiety in combination with a reduced functional state of the central nervous system. Thus, the higher efficiency of sensorimotor response was detected in the athletes with the high and low mobilization level in the reaction to moving objects.
ON GENDER SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN ATTITUDES TOWARDS LIFE POSITIONS, ASPIRATIONS AND VALUE ORIENTATIONS AMONG CHINESE YOUTH - BASED ON QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY RESULTS, 2016 -
Authors: DYBOVSKY Alexander S. , LARINA Lilia L.
Published: July 2019

The present article, based on a survey conducted in 2016 in five cities of China (Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Changchun, Dalian), discusses the similarities and differences in attitudes, aspirations and value orientations of Chinese young people. The survey respondents were 650 ethnic Chinese young people (314 males and 336 females), mostly under the age of 25. The questionnaire was comprised of 22 questions, grouped into four sections. The first section contained questions designed to reveal the attitudes of Chinese young people to life, including their most common aspirations and values; the second section focused on the Chinese young people’s relationships with parents and friends. The third section targeted the attitudes of Chinese young people to employment issues, and, finally, the aim of the fourth section was to specify the social portrait of the respondents of the questionnaire. The responses to each question of the questionnaire were statistically analyzed and presented in graphs. The results of the present survey reveal that life aspirations and values of young Chinese males and females are similar in many aspects. More similarities than differences between the two sexes were identified, and the ethnic factor proved to be more important in determining life attitudes and values than the gender factor. Yet, a number of gender differences were detected. The survey results reveal that young Chinese males – in contrast to females – have advanced further along the path of westernization and demonstrate greater willingness to revise many traditional Chinese values. The Chinese females’ responses, on the other hand, are characterized by greater conservatism in daily life, and a stronger inclination towards traditional family values. Nevertheless, females demonstrated more egocentric tendencies than males in regard to finding employment and choosing working conditions.

Published: July 2019

Background: Literature has substantially advanced our understanding of the action of vitamin D in depression, much is still unknown concerning how vitamin D relates to dimensions of depression. Hence, authors aimed to examine the relationship of vitamin D in patients of depression, its correlation with the severity of depression and different symptom domains of depression.Methods: This Hospital based case control study included 75 patients with depression and 50 controls who were age and gender matched. Beck’s Depression Inventory II was used to assess the severity and symptom domains of depression. Vitamin D levels was assessed using Enhanced Chemiluminescence Technique.Results: Vitamin D deficiency was found significantly (<0.001*) among cases than controls. Significant (0.003*) inverse correlation was observed between severity of depression and vitamin D level.In cognitive symptoms, pessimism, punishment feeling, self-criticism, suicidal thoughts and worthlessness were found significantly higher among vitamin D deficient patients. However, in somatic-affective symptoms, crying, indecisiveness, loss of energy, irritability, concentration difficulty and being tired were the significant by prominent symptoms in vitamin D deficient patients.Conclusions: Vitamin D (<50 nmol/L) was found to be significantly associated with depressive symptoms with cognitive and somatic-affective symptoms being affected by vitamin D deficiency.

Published: July 2019

Background: Kolkata, one of the major metropolitan cities of India, is also the capital of the state West Bengal, contributes largest number of malaria cases reported from West Bengal. The present study was undertaken to assess the anti-malarial prescribing pattern in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Kolkata.Methods: This was an observational, prospective, cross-sectional study for a period of one year (from March 2017 to February 2018) in which prescriptions of diagnosed pediatric and adult malaria patients were scanned and reviewed for anti-malarial use pattern. Core drug use indicators were also analyzed to assess the rational prescribing pattern.Results: During one-year study period, 122 adult and 24 child malaria patient encounters were screened.  Among adult patients, 48(39.3%) patients had P. falciparum and 74(60.7%) patients had P. vivax malaria; in children, 9(37.5%) patients had P. falciparum and 15(62.5%) patients had P. vivax malaria. All adult and pediatric P. vivax malaria patients were treated with chloroquine.  Artemisinin derivatives were prescribed to 91.67% of adult and 88.88% of pediatric falciparum malaria patients, 77.09% of adults and 66.67% of children received ACT. Artemether- lumefantrine was the most commonly prescribed ACT (33.34% in adults and 55.56% in children). Prescriptions were usually in generic name and from National EDL. Percentage of encounters with antibiotics was high in both age group but percentage of encounters with injections was low in adults and children.  Conclusion: Chloroquine was used rationally for treatment of P. vivax malaria patients. Artemether-lumefantrine was the most common ACT used for treatment of P.falciparum malaria cases though the National guideline for treatment of malaria does not recommend Artemether-lumefantrine for this state and region for treatment of falciprum cases.
A comparative study of low-fluence Q-switched neodymium-doped: yttrium aluminum garnet laser versus 15% trichloroacetic acid peel in the treatment of melasma
Authors: Venu Sridhar , Balachandar Sarath Chandran , Nallu Kamalanathan , Lakshmanan C.
Published: July 2019

Background: Melasma is an acquired, circumscribed, pigmentary disorder. It is characterized by more or less symmetrically distributed, dark brown macules with well-defined geographic borders and is often resistant to treatment. The aim of our study is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of low-fluence Q-switched neodymium-doped: yttrium aluminum garnet (Qs-Nd:YAG) laser versus 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel in the treatment of melasma.

Methods: Our study was an open, prospective, comparative study that included 50 melasma patients. They were then randomized into group 1 (n=25) and group 2 (n=25) by means of sequentially numbered list. Patients in group 1 were treated with 15% TCA. The procedure was repeated every two weeks for 6 times. Group 2 patients were treated with low influence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The treatment was given for four sittings at a gap of 3 weeks. Melasma area and severity index (MASI) was used to assess the response of therapy. Patients were followed up for 12 weeks after completing the study.

Results: The total percentage of reduction in mean MASI was 41.92% in group 1 and 27.88% in group 2 which was statistically significant (p=0.007). Post inflammatory hyper- pigmentation was the most common side effect in patients treated with Nd-YAG laser, particularly Fitzpatrick skin type V.

Conclusions: 15% TCA was better than Q switched Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of melasma. Qs-Nd:YAG laser is not an effective treatment option due to higher incidence of adverse effects.
Comparative study of oral tranexamic acid and triple combination versus tranexamic acid through microneedling in patients of melisma
Authors: Wali Vishal , Parwani Hemangi
Published: July 2019

Background: Melasma can be difficult to treat due to the refractory and recurrent nature of condition. The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of oral tranexamic acid and triple combination versus tranexamic acid through microneedling in patients of melisma.

Methods: This is a prospective study with a sample size of 20, 10 in each treatment arm.10 patients (group-A) were given topical triple combination to apply daily at night and along with oral tranexamic acid 250 mg twice a day, while in the other arm (group-B), 10 patients were given procedural treatment of microneedling with tranexamic acid (4 mg/ml). Patients were followed up for 3 consecutive months. Clinical photograph was taken after each visit, and a modified melasma area and severity index was performed at the beginning and end of the treatment.

Results: According to melasma area and severity index, improvement in group-A was 65% as compared to 33% in group-B.

Conclusions: Triple combination is known as gold standard treatment in melasma, but because of its long term steroidal and tretinoin side effects we can consider microneedling with TXA as an adjuvant treatment.

Authors: Nirvanappa Vinay K. , Hegde Soumya G.
Published: July 2019

Background: Leprosy is a chronic mycobacterial infection and is still a major health hazard in India.

Methods: This was a retrospective study over 12 years of all cases diagnosed clinically as leprosy in a tertiary hospital at Hassan district, Karnataka. Confirmation of diagnosis was based on slit skin smear and biopsy was done in doubtful cases.

Results: Out of 214 patients, 152 were males and 62 were females. The prevalence was maximum in the age group 21-30 years. Borderline group formed the major part of the spectrum, consisting of 154 (71.96%) patients. Maximum patients 97 (45.3%) were of borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy, followed by 59 (27.57%) cases of borderline lepromatous leprosy (BL). 25 (11.68%) cases had tuberculoid leprosy (TT) and 20 (9.34%)cases were of lepromatous leprosy among which 3 were diagnosed as histoid leprosy. 6 patients had pure neuritic leprosy and 4 patients were in relapse.

Conclusions: Even though leprosy is eliminated, it continues to be a public health problem in our country. Stricter surveillance for early diagnosis and treatment is needed to eradicate leprosy from India.

Background: Tinea capitis (TC) is a common dermatophyte infection affecting primarily prepubertal children. The present study has been designed to assess the clinico-etiological profile of the T capitis and to compare the efficacy and tolerability of terbinafine with griseofulvin.

Methods: One hundred fifty eight patients of T. capitis were divided into two groups of 79 patients each to receive either oral griseofulvin or terbinafine (according to weight). Patients in both the groups were followed up at 2, 4, 12 and 36 weeks. At every visit, clinical improvement was evaluated using clinical assessment severity score and the compliance, tolerability and side effects of the drugs were assessed along with KOH microscopy, fungal culture from the lesion and relevant blood investigations.

Results: The clinical assessment score were statistically similar in group G and group T at the start of therapy. The decline in scores in both treatment groups was statistically significant at each follow up visit. In griseofulvin group, the mean score was declined from 5.9 at baseline to 4.24 at week 2 and 2.79 at week 4, 0.82 at week 12 and 1.24 at 36 week. In the terbinafine group, the score had a mean of 6.23 at 0 week and 4.03 at week 2, 2.32 at week 4, 0.69 at week 12 and 0.83 at week 36.

Conclusions: At follow up study long lasting tissue effect of terbinafine was found but effect of griseofulvin was waned at 36 week. So terbinafine may be better option with similar side effect profile but it is better in residual clinical and mycological effect at higher cost.
Aplasia cutis congenita

Published: July 2019

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare condition in which there is congenital focal absence of skin with or without absence of underlying structures such as bone. Consanguinity may play a role. The cause of this condition is unclear and appears to be multifactorial; contributory factors may include teratogens, genes, trauma and compromised blood flow to the skin. Various expressions of Adams Oliver syndrome (AOS) have also been reported which is a rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by absence of skin and or underlying structure over scalp along with transverse limb defect. It was first described by Adam and Oliver in 1945.
Trójkąt jako schemat Hiszpanii na mapach średniowiecznych
Authors: Kochanek Piotr
Published: July 2019

The triangle has become a geographic scheme of Spain at least since the time of Orosius. He then went on to medieval cartography. This article analyzes 20 maps that were created between 775 and 1300 and on which this scheme is located. 12 of them come from the Iberian Peninsula, 9 being Beatus maps. The legends of these maps are inscribed in the geopolitical context of the time in which they were created. As a consequence, these maps contain the spirit of the Reconquest. Ultimately, these maps contributed to the dissemination of the Spanish scheme in the form of a triangle in the cartography of medieval Western Europe. The “Spanish Triangle” thus became, next to the triangular scheme of Sicily, the most recognizable cartographic scheme in the Middle Ages. It made it easier to find Spain on maps, becoming useful graphical mnemonic help.
The First English Printed Psalters — George Joye’s Translations and Their Editions
Authors: Wójcik Jerzy
Published: July 2019

The paper discusses four English Psalters which are the work of a prominent, although largely forgotten, English protestant George Joye, whose first English translation of the whole Psalter appeared in Antwerp in 1530. The original publication was followed by two reprints, both of which appeared in London in 1534 and 1544. The fourth publication, which appeared in Antwerp in 1534, was a new translation prepared by Joye on the basis of a different Latin text. The text of Psalm 1 from each of these publications is provided, enabling the comparison of the differences displayed by the texts in question so characteristic of early print.

Authors: Ramirez Merlano Shirley , Torres Bustamante Mariana Alexandra , Sandoval Ortiz German Pablo
Published: July 2019

Para los médicos de atención primaria, el paciente con sintomatología compatible con síndromes vestibulares constituye un desafío, debido a su amplia variedad de presentaciones y la dificultad en la diferenciación de las diversas patologías que  ocasionan los síntomas. La necesidad de tener conceptos claros y actualizados sobre los mecanismos patológicos del vértigo surge en el momento de evaluar al paciente, para esto es necesario realizar un adecuado interrogatorio y un examen físico neurotológico completo que permita dilucidar un abordaje diagnóstico certero. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar una revisión de la literatura actual, de las diferentes etiologías desencadenantes del vértigo periférico y a partir de sus características clínicas desarrollar un algoritmo diagnóstico que permita al profesional médico entender el mecanismo patológico del vértigo y proporcionar el tratamiento adecuado.
Consentimiento informado. Percepción de pacientes. Revisión documental 1995-2013
Authors: Escobar López María Teresa
Published: July 2019

Objetivo. Revisar literatura descriptiva y analítica sobre consentimiento informado (CI), publicada entre 1995 y 2013, centrando el interés en los estudios que muestran la percepción de los pacientes en atención clínica.

Métodos. El proceso de indagación consistió en la revisión de literatura descriptiva y analítica sobre consentimiento informado, en formatos digitales y en físico, centrando el interés en los estudios que muestran la percepción de los pacientes en atención clínica. Se compiló un total de 78 documentos entre artículos científicos, trabajos de grado, libros y capítulos de libro, publicados entre los años 1995 y 2013. Con estos aspectos de contenido se elaboró una hoja de cálculo (matriz en Excel), con resumen, consideraciones teóricas, metodológicas, observaciones y conclusiones.

Resultados. Del total de documentos consultados, solamente dos estudios particularizan sobre un área de atención clínica: la oncología, y apenas algunos tratan la percepción del CI en atención clínica de pacientes. Los demás, son de teoría sobre CI, CI e investigación o se refieren al él en general y versan sobre distintos temas, teniendo en cuenta la percepción de profesionales y expertos. Finalmente, en ningún documento se mencionan posturas teóricas sobre percepción y todos los documentos refieren problemas frente a su aplicación e implementación. En todos los casos, la autonomía se entiende como una expresión de voluntad que requiere ser aplicada, lo cual es determinante para el CI.

Conclusiones. Existen pocos estudios de percepción en pacientes y en ninguno se explica qué se entiende por este concepto. Por el contrario, es generalizado en los escritos revisados, lo que evidencia problemas relacionados con la aplicación e implementación del CI.
Trastorno del espectro autista: caracterización clínica en pacientes de dos centros de referencia en Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Espinosa Eugenia , Mera Paola , Toledo Daniel , Mera Paola
Published: July 2019

Introducción. Los pacientes con trastornos del espectro autista (TEA) presentan gran heterogeneidad en sus características comportamentales, cognitivas, médicas y psiquiátricas. En nuestro medio, no existe una descripción de tales variables. Si bien otros estudios han descrito un perfil clínico característico, es necesario conocer nuestra población blanco. Objetivo. Caracterizar clínicamente los pacientes con diagnóstico de TEA de dos centros de referencia, en Bogotá. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo observacional y descriptivo de serie de casos documentados en historias clínicas de enero de 2010 a enero de 2014. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de todos los pacientes con TEA confirmada por diagnóstico, incluyendo datos sociodemográficos, antecedentes personales y familiares, así como factores de riesgo descritos en la literatura en relación con la aparición de TEA; ayudas diagnósticas, comorbilidades y tratamiento. Resultados. Ochenta y un casos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. En la serie, se encontró predominio en el género masculino (94,1%), complicaciones perinatales (43%) y prematurez (7,6%). Las principales comorbilidades fueron trastornos conductuales (63%), epilepsia (23,5%) y trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (23%).Fue significativa la asociación entre epilepsia y discapacidad intelectual: 84% (p<0,001). La asociación con síndromes genéticos o errores innatos del metabolismo fue mínima en nuestra serie. Los estudios complementarios fueron normales en la mayoría de los casos. Conclusiones. En nuestra serie predominó el autismo no sindrómico; la presentación clínica, el abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico concuerdan con lo reportado en la literatura mundial. Los elementos clínicos constituyen la principal herramienta diagnóstica, el manejo conductual es el pilar de tratamiento. Estudios analíticos enfocados hacia las variables más significativas, permitirán la creación de estrategias terapéuticas dirigidas a nuestra población
