The effects of epidural anaesthesia and analgesia on T lymphocytes differentiation markers and cytokines in patients after gastric cancer resection.
Authors: Wang Liping , Liang Si , Chen Hong , Xu Yang , Wang Yu
Published: June 2019

Background: Epidural use can prevent peri-operative neuro-endocrine stress responses, mitigate pain after surgery, and reduce opioid use, which all lead to immunosuppression. Methods: Forty patients with gastric cancer were ultimately enrolled into the study. Patients who received general anaesthesia (GA group, n=20) or a combination of general anaesthesia and peri-operative epidural use (EGA group, n=20) were given intravenous analgesia or epidural analgesia, respectively. We collected visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, length of hospital stay, the time of the first passage of flatus and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We also collected data on the cluster of differentiation markers (CD)3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, and interferon (IFN)-γ the day before surgery as well as on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. Results: VAS scores and PONV in the GA group were higher than in the EGA group on postoperative day 3. CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ T cells declined on postoperative day 3 and nearly recovered to baseline seven days after surgery in both groups. CD3+ T cells decreased more in the GA group than in the EGA group. IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ increased on postoperative day 3 and nearly recovered to baseline seven days after surgery in both groups. IL-4 and IL-6 increased more in the GA group than in the EGA group. IFN-γ increased more in the EGA group than in the GA group. Conclusions: A combination of general anaesthesia and peri-operative epidural use can relieve postoperative pain and PONV. A combination of general anaesthesia and peri-operative epidural use decreases immunosuppression in gastric cancer resection.

Authors: Lee Joon Kee , Choi Eun Hwa , Seong Moon-Woo , Yeon Youbin , Cho Sung Im , Park Sung Sup
Published: June 2019

Background

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of respiratory tract infections in children and adults. This study applied high-throughput whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies to analyze the genomes of 30 M. pneumoniae strains isolated from children with pneumonia in South Korea during the two epidemics from 2010 to 2016 in comparison with a global collection of 48 M. pneumoniae strains which includes seven countries ranging from 1944 to 2017.

Results

The 30 Korean strains had approximately 40% GC content and ranged from 815,686 to 818,669 base pairs, coding for a total of 809 to 828 genes. Overall, BRIG revealed 99% to > 99% similarity among strains. The genomic similarity dropped to approximately 95% in the P1 type 2 strains when aligned to the reference M129 genome, which corresponded to the region of the p1 gene. MAUVE detected four subtype-specific insertions (three in P1 type 1 and one in P1 type 2), of which were all hypothetical proteins except for one tRNA insertion in all P1 type 1 strains. The phylogenetic associations of 30 strains were generally consistent with the multilocus sequence typing results. eBURST analysis demonstrated two clonal complexes which are accordant with the known P1 typing, with higher diversity among P1 type 2 strains. The phylogenetic tree constructed with 78 genomes including 48 genomes outside Korea formed three clusters, in which the sequence type 3 strains from Korea were divided into two P1 type 1 clusters.

Conclusions

The comparative genome analysis of the 78 M. pneumoniae strains including 30 strains from Korea by WGS reveals structural diversity and phylogenetic associations, even though the similarity across the strains was very high.
The State and Modernity as Anthropological Topics
Authors: Simić Marina
Published: June 2019

This paper aims to offer a brief introduction to an­thropological studies of modernity and the state. I try to in­troduce some of the most important theoretical works in this field, built up in different ethnographic contexts ranging from Turkey to Latin America. I was trying to show some of the possibilities of the research of modernity and the state in an­thropology emphasizing what anthropology can offer to wider debates on these topics. I argue that the ideas of modernity and the state are far more ambivalent then it sometimes may seem in European political theory and that anthropology can offer an insight into alternative forms of modernity and the state and into wider debates on these topics.
Cognitive Evolution and Religion; Cognition and Religious Evolution
Authors: Whitehouse Harvey
Published: June 2019

This paper presents contemporary cognitive approaches to the evolution of religious beliefs. Arguments are put forward that different types of beliefs, or ‘modes of religiosity’, occur as a result of a number of evolutionary factors (biological, cultural, socio-po­litical etc). At the same time, religions across the world retain a sig­nificant level of common and shared elements, also explained in evolutionary terms.
Archaeology, Evolution and Darwinism
Authors: Palavestra Aleksandar , Porčić Marko
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a short history of the influence evo­lutionary thinking has had on anthropology and archaeology. The fo­cus is on four major "schools" in evolutionist thought: the classical evolutionism of the 19th century, Neo-evolutionism, social biology (sociobiology) and Neo-Darwinian archaeology. The basic conclusion of this text is that the idea of socio-cultural evolution, understood in the broadest sense, has left a lasting impression on anthropological and archeological theory, and that it still represents a useful theo­retical framework for new research.
Individual Migrations of Montenegrins to Serbian Cities in the Post-Second World War Period
Authors: Nedeljković Saša
Published: June 2019

The aim of this research is to investigate modes of migrations of Montenegrins into Serbia after the Second World War. Such an aim demands one to investigate how Montenegrins conceptualize living space, the reasons behind migration, their modes and consequences. The first section includes an analysis of modes of individual migrations – namely, the research of individual levels of identification through the analysis of narratives. This was conducted through interviewing a number of persons who were born in Montenegro, but who have during the course of their lives migrated to Serbia. In some cases a biographical method was used, whilst in others interviews were conducted with a set of narrowly formulated questions, supplemented by observation.
Marital Residence Patterns in Late Neolithic Communities of the Vinča Culture
Authors: Porčić Marko
Published: June 2019

This paper aims to reconstruct the marital residence patterns in late Neolithic communities in the central Balkans. The average size of the habitation site was used as a correlate of patrilocality or matrilocality. A study of the habitation sites of the Vinča culture shows that judgments about marital residence patterns vary between sites and their phases. There are, however, certain indications that patrilocality may be considered the more probable pattern for most of the sites.

Differential S-acylation of Enveloped Viruses
Authors: Kordyukova Larisa V. , Serebryakova Marina V. , Khrustalev Vladislav V. , Veit Michael
Published: June 2019

Post-translational modifications often regulate protein functioning. Covalent attachment of long chain fatty acids to cysteine residues via a thioester linkage (known as protein palmitoylation or S-acylation) affects protein trafficking, protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions. This post-translational modification is coupled to membrane fusion or virus assembly and may affect viral replication in vitro and thus also virus pathogenesis in vivo. In this review we outline modern methods to study S-acylation of viral proteins and to characterize palmitoylproteomes of virus infected cells. The palmitoylation site predictor CSS-palm is critically tested against the Class I enveloped virus proteins. We further focus on identifying the S-acylation sites directly within acyl-peptides and the specific fatty acid (e.g, palmitate, stearate) bound to them using MALDI-TOF MS-based approaches. The fatty acid heterogeneity/ selectivity issue attracts now more attention since the recently published 3D-structures of two DHHC-acyl-transferases gave a hint how this might be achieved.
How Do Contrast Agents Affect Cardiac Markers and Coagulation Tests? Experimental Study
Authors: Tascanov Mustafa Begenc , Gönel Ataman
Published: June 2019

Background:

The discovery that biotin interferes with results of troponin and Nt-proBNP led
some commercial firms to update their measurement methods. In particular, the clinical incompatibility of
cardiac test results may affect the risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to investigate the interference effects of 7 different contrast agents on
cardiac markers (Troponin-I, Nt-proBNP, Mass CK-MB, CK, AST, LDH) and in coagulation tests (PT,
APTT).

Methods:

Seven different contrast media were added into control materials by using interference protocol.
The concentrations of PT, APTT, CK, AST, LDH, Mass CK-MB, Troponin-I, and Nt-proBNP were
measured by Sysmex CS-2100, Abbott c16000, Siemens Centaur XP and AFİAS-6 analyzer. The number
of deviations from target values was calculated.

Results:

The 7 different contrast media caused negative interference in troponin levels between 57.43%
and 62.87%. It was found that different contrast media produced false negativity in the Nt-proBNP test,
ranging from 6.11% to 96.01%. Enzymes and coagulation tests were less affected.

Conclusion:

Different contrast media may cause false negatives in cTnI and Nt-proBNP. The contrast
medium that causes the least interference should be preferred. The results of samples taken in the first hour
after contrast imaging should be interpreted with care.
Formulation and Characterization of Transethosomes for Enhanced Transdermal Delivery of Propranolol Hydrochloride
Authors: Kumar Lalit , Utreja Puneet
Published: June 2019

Objective:

The objective of the present work was to develop transethosomes loaded with
propranolol hydrochloride using Lipoid S100 as phospholipid, and oleic acid as permeation enhancer
and evaluate them for prolonged release effect, in-vitro skin permeation, and in-vivo plasma concentration.

Methods:

Transethosomes loaded with propranolol hydrochloride were prepared by homogenization
method. Furthermore, they were characterized by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM),
zeta sizer, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy
(CLSM) for in-vitro skin permeation. Plasma concentration profile of transethosomal gel was determined
using Sprague Dawley rats and compared with a marketed oral tablet of propranolol hydrochloride.

Results:

Developed transethosomes loaded with propranolol hydrochloride showed acceptable size
(182.7 ± 5.4 nm), high drug entrapment (81.98 ± 2.9%) and good colloidal characteristics [polydispersity
index (PDI) = 0.234 ± 0.039, zeta potential = -21.91 ± 0.65 mV]. Transethosomes showed prolonged
in-vitro release of propranolol hydrochloride for 24 h. Results of in-vitro skin permeation studies
of transethosomal gel showed 74.34 ± 2.33% permeation of propranolol hydrochloride after 24 h
and confocal microscopy revealed accumulation of transethosomes in the stratum basale layer of the
skin. Transethosomal gel was capable to prolong the in-vivo release of propranolol hydrochloride upto
24 h. The value of peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of propranolol hydrochloride was found to be
93.8 ± 3.6 ng/mL which was very high compared to the marketed oral tablet of propranolol hydrochloride
(45.6 ± 3.1 ng/mL).

Conclusion:

The results suggested that transethosomal gel of propranolol hydrochloride could be a
better alternative to oral propranolol hydrochloride as it can avoid various disadvantages of oral propranolol
hydrochloride like high dosing frequency, first pass effect, and organ toxicity.
Blogging the Iraq War: Soldiers, Civilians and Institutions
Authors: Miller Alisa
Published: June 2019

This article considers how blogs written about the war in Iraq that began in 2003 have informed public narratives. It examines how so-called citizen journalists were read and presented by established media organisations. It considers what motivated some of the more influential bloggers of the war to engage in life-writing in this particular media, and how they found, read and responded to one another. It details how institutions like the US military reacted to milbloggers, shifting from a phase emphasising discretion and in some instances overt censorship, to viewing them as allies, implicitly and explicitly advancing a view of the war that circumvented critical, civilian media filters. It looks at the balance of coverage of mil and civilian bloggers in the West, and how they and their readers communicated—or failed to communicate—across cultures. Finally, it poses questions about how mediated content complicates notions of 'authentic' war writing.
Real Money, Real Me: Life Told by Third-party Mobile Payment Platforms
Authors: Huang Rong
Published: June 2019

Platforms are constantly shaping online identities. The third-party mobile payment solution is one of the latest technological innovations that have redefined how we lead our lives today. The popularity of third-party mobile payment in China allows platforms greater data power to present users’ identities either as individual consumers or as members of a consumption community. This article first introduces the background and data features of third-party mobile payment platforms. It then concentrates on the two dominant platforms, Alipay and WeChat Pay, to demonstrate their different monetary approaches to user identities, characterized respectively by personal finance and by collective belonging. Finally it will discuss in brief further implications, including the possibility of a unified on/offline identity, the identification of an online user, and the issue of privacy protection.

Published: June 2019

The purpose of this article is to examine the phenomenon of Balinese shadow puppet performances as a tourism entertainment spectacle in Ubud, Bali. Basically, the Parwa shadow puppet shows as Balinese shadow puppets are stag for the purposes of traditional ceremonies with long duration. In contrast to the type of Parwa shadow puppet show in Ubud is stag for tourism, only it's stag with a shorter duration. This phenomenon certainly raises a big question about the implications of stag such performances for tourism.This article is prepared to use qualitative research methods. All data were obtained through literature study, interview and observation. After all data is obtained, it is analyzed by using the perspective of cultural studies.The results show that the commodification of Parwa shadow puppet shows for tourism has economic, social and cultural implications. Economically, the commodification of the Parwa shadow puppet show for tourism has already had implications for a change in instrumental value, adding profit to cottage owners and retailers. Socially, the commodity has implications in the popularity as well as the identity of shadows puppet group. Culturally has implications for the preservation of cultural identity in the context of tourism, mediation of cultural promotion to tourists, cultural degradation of puppets and the difficulty of enculturation.

“Filme de Entrada”: o uso do audiovisual como método de pesquisa
Authors: Freitas Nilson Almino de , Viana Ana Kélia De Sousa
Published: June 2019

O artigo trata de uma experiência de pesquisa onde o audiovisual é o método e a forma de aproximação com o grupo estudado. Entretanto, é um método que abre mão ou inverte uma hierarquia entre aquele que sabe, o pesquisador, e aquele que é “objeto”, o pesquisado. Discute-se a produção compartilhada de conhecimento através de uma simetria de ações e afetos entre os agentes envolvidos, inclusive “não humanos”, como é o caso dos equipamentos de filmagem. O filme tomado como exemplo para esta discussão é o “Arte e Cultura na Periferia – ACP”, produzido em 2015, que serviu como “filme de entrada” para novos projetos do Laboratório das Memórias e das Práticas Cotidianas – LABOME, da Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú – UVA.

Authors: Undurraga Rosario , Cornejo Paula , Hornickel Natalia López , Benavides Michele
Published: June 2019

El creciente envejecimiento de la población ha generado nuevas interrogantes respecto al proceso de envejecer y a las expectativas sobre la vejez. Este estudio cualitativo explora los imaginarios de vejez de mujeres chilenas y problematiza la (in)visibilidad de la heterogeneidad en la vejez. Se utilizan entrevistas semi-estructuradas a una muestra de 50 mujeres entre 24 y 88 años, profesionales y no-profesionales, de Santiago de Chile. Los resultados muestran imaginarios de vejez diferenciados cuando se trata de los demás (imaginarios sociales de vejez) respecto de aquellos referidos a la propia vejez (imaginarios individuales de vejez). Los imaginarios sociales de vejez tienden a ser negativos por: (a) las bajas pensiones, (b) mala atención en salud y (c) pérdida de autovalencia. Esto se contrapone con los imaginarios individuales de vejez, donde se articulan atributos positivos y negativos, resaltando la salud, los vínculos familiares y estrategias para mantenerse saludable y activa. Se concluye que las diferencias entre los imaginarios sociales e individuales de vejez darían cuenta de: tensiones en la definición de vejez, heterogeneidad en la vejez, cambios en las expectativas para la vejez de mujeres chilenas, cuestionamiento de las instituciones de previsión social, y la importancia de la familia y los cuidados en la vejez. AbstractThe increasing ageing population has generated new questions regarding the process of getting older and the expectations about old age. This qualitative study explores imaginaries about old age of Chilean women. It problematizes the (in)visibility of the heterogeneity of old age people. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 professional and non-professional women from 24 to 88 year-old living in Santiago de Chile. The results show differences between social imaginaries of old age (referred to other old people) and individual imaginaries of old age (own old age). Social imaginaries of old age are negative due to: (a) economic precariousness and low pensions, (b) bad quality of the health system, and (c) the loss of autonomy. This contrasts with individual imaginaries of old age, where there are both positive and negative attributes, highlighting health, family ties and strategies to keep healthy and active. The paper concludes that the differences between social and individual imaginaries of old age show: tensions on the definition of old age, heterogeneity within adulthood, changes on the expectations of Chilean women about old age, the questioned role of social security, and the relevance of family and caring at old age.
Clave para la identificación de las subfamilias y los géneros de hormigas (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) de Costa Rica
Authors: Gutiérrez Pablo R
Published: June 2019

RESUMEN: Las hormigas son consideradas uno de los principales depredadores de invertebrados y también prominentes herbívoros en la mayoría de los ecosistemas neotropicales. Esta versatilidad resulta de importancia económica para la agricultura, ya que muchas especies pueden comportarse como plagas en cultivos, pero otras juegan un papel importante en el manejo integrado de plagas. Las hormigas también se consideran indicadoras de la calidad del hábitat, por lo que resulta conveniente una identificación precisa. De momento no existen claves taxonómicas en español para la identificación de las hormigas en Costa Rica. El uso de claves de la región puede resultar en identificaciones erróneas debido, en parte, a cambios recientes en la taxonomía de estos insectos. Con el fin de promover una herramienta para el conocimiento de la fauna de hormigas se presenta una lista y claves dicotómicas para identificar las subfamilias y los géneros de las hormigas de Costa Rica.PALABRAS CLAVE: biodiversidad, morfología, neotropical

Published: June 2019

Tumbuhan anggrek (Orchidaceae) merupakan salah satu kelompok tumbuhan berbunga terbesar yang kurang lebih mempunyai 28.000 jenis dari sekitar 763 genera. Sebagai tumbuhan epifit, anggrek telah lama didomestikasi dan dibudidayakan oleh manusia untuk berbagai keperluan, terutama untuk kepentingan estetika dan keindahan. Anggrek juga menduduki salah satu posisi sebagai tumbuhan yang cukup banyak diperjualbelikan secara komersil. Sayangnya, mengingat cara tumbuh dan kebutuhan hidup yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan tumbuhan hias konvensional lainnya, anggrek cenderung dianggap sebagai tumbuhan yang sulit dibudidayakan. Di lain pihak, walaupun mempunyai kondisi lingkungan yang mendukung untuk melakukan budidaya anggrek, Sumatera Barat tidak pernah benar-benar menjadi penghasil anggrek secara komersil. Untuk itulah, kegiatan penyuluhan mengenai teknik budidaya anggrek yang disertai dengan pemberian motivasi untuk menanam anggrek dilakukan pada mitra kegiatan yaitu kaum ibu dan perempuan di Kelurahan Limau Manis Padang pada tanggal 30 November 2018. Metoda kegiatan ini meliputi pemberian penyuluhan tentang teknik budidaya anggrek, demonstrasi dan evaluasi kegiatan menggunakan tanya jawab dan kuisioner. Dari analisis hasil evaluasi, kegiatan ini memberikan peningkatan pengetahuan dan motivasi dalam melakukan budidaya anggrek. Di samping itu, hasil rangkuman dari kuisioner pada peserta kegiatan memberikan gambaran bahwa metoda presentasi dengan menggunakan slide PowerPoint disertai dengan demonstrasi sepenuhnya mampu menjembatani transfer pengetahuan mengenai teknik budidaya anggrek. Lebih jauh lagi, peserta menyatakan minat yang sangat tinggi untuk membudidayakan anggrek pada skala rumah tangga sembari meminta disertai dengan pembinaan lebih lanjut dan berkala.

Seluruh operasi BSK menghasilkan Pump Irigasi Area Peta III Nagari Singkarak.
Retórica, Linguagem e Epistemologia: Esboço de uma Teoria Argumentativa do Conhecimento
Authors: Fontes Narbal de Marsillac
Published: June 2019

Em tempos plurais contemporâneos, procurar sustentar uma teoria do conhecimento ou epistemologia que desconsidere os contextos linguísticos específicos e os ambientes argumen-tativos onde se produz esse saber é manter-se num paradigma moderno e ultrapassado em que o sujeito cognoscente se contrapunha ao objeto cognoscível, numa relação de oposição infundada que vai encontrar hoje o seu ocaso. É a linguagem, entendida enquanto pragmática social, e a retórica, enquanto adaptação discur-siva a auditórios sempre específicos, que nos remetem de um paradigma que incorpora a objetividade do mundo para um outro de enten-dimento intersubjetivo. O que faz do conhecimento válido o conhecimento previamente acordado enquanto tal.

Molar balances of continuous and batch reacting systems with a simple reaction are analyzed from the point of view of finding relationships between the thermodynamic driving force and the chemical reaction rate. Special attention is focused on steady state, which has been the core subject of previous similar work. It is argued that such relationships should contain, besides the thermodynamic driving force, also a kinetic factor, and are of a specific form for a specific reacting system. More general analysis is provided by means of the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of linear fluid mixtures. Then, the driving force can be expressed either in Gibbs energy (affinity) form or on the basis of chemical potentials. The relationships can be generally interpreted in terms of force-resistance-flux.

O artigo discute o lugar que a família ocupa nos sistemas de proteção social. Considera três propostas analíticas relativas ao tema em pauta: a família do provedor masculino, o "familismo" e a família no Estado de Bem-Estar Social de orientação social-democrata. Analisa a posição da família em nossa política social, mediante exame de elementos legais e operacionais e destaca sua relevância na política de assistência da sociedade brasileira. Considerando as tendências de redução da "capacidade protetora" do grupo familiar, devido a transformações demográficas e culturais e ao empobrecimento da população, sugere regressividade da política social vigente já que a expectativa de solidariedade da sociedade passa a centrar-se irrealisticamente na família.
Análisis de la relación entre ansiedad rasgo y experiencia profesional en la danza

Published: June 2019

Este estudio investiga la relación entre los niveles de AR de los bailarines profesionales y su grado de experiencia en el mundo de la danza. Para ello se ha trabajado con bailarines de tres compañías de danza internacionales: la Compañía Nacional de Danza en España (CND), el Ballet Nice Méditerranée de la Ópera de Niza en Francia (BON) y el Béjart Ballet Lausanne en Suiza (BBL). Se aplicó el STAI de Spielberger a 44 bailarines con el objetivo de determinar su nivel de ansiedad rasgo y las posibles correlaciones entre las variables AR y años de experiencia profesional. Los resultados muestran que un 56.8% de los sujetos presentan una AR situada en el percentil 10. La media de la variable relativa a la experiencia como profesionales del sector de la danza de los sujetos es de 9.34 años, y los resultados del análisis de la correlación entre AR y experiencia profesional se revelan no significativos. Podemos concluir que el bailarín consagrado presenta unos muy bajos niveles de AR que no se relacionarían de forma significativa con una mayor o menor experiencia en el ámbito profesional. La AR parece ser un rasgo de gran estabilidad, o bien realmente característico del bailarín profesional, o no influenciable por su grado de experiencia escénica.

Se estudió el DN-CAS versus el WISC para altas capacidades con aprendizaje o conductas disfuncionales (doble excepcionalidad). 114 casos de alta capacidad, entre 10 y 14 años (56% mujeres), 54 con dificultades de aprendizaje y 60 con conductas disfuncionales, fueron evaluados con el DN-CAS (PASS) y el WISC. Un análisis factorial mostró cuatro factores PASS y uno WISC. El WISC cargó principalmente en el simultáneo. Ningún otro procesamiento PASS cargó en el WISC. Se halló débil o moderada correlación entre DN-CAS y WISC. El simultáneo es el proceso menos correlacionado por lo que puede inferirse es el más independiente. El análisis estadístico descriptivo mostró que el simultáneo fue el procesamiento PASS con mayor puntuación y el procesamiento atención fue el con menor puntuación. En el análisis de agrupamiento de los procesos PASS superiores a 115 (+1DS) y 130 (+2DS), el simultaneo es el más frecuentemente involucrado. Por último, un patrón singular (patrón “N”) aparece como marcador de disfunción emocional ligada al planning. En resumen, se demuestra la estructura de cuatro factores del DNCAS. El simultáneo aparece ligado al WISC. Un buen o excelente simultáneo aparece en alta capacidad. El DN-CAS es ventajoso para alta capacidad con aprendizaje o conducta disfuncional (doble excepcionalidad) pues el DN-CAS valora planificación, creatividad y metacognición.
Lähisuhdeväkivallasta oppimisen reflektiot sosiaalityön opiskelijoiden oppimispäiväkirjoissa
Authors: Piippo Sisko , Nyqvist Leo , Suonio Mari

Lähisuhdeväkivalta on globaali ja sensitiivinen ilmiö, johon liittyvä koulutustarjonta on ollut sosiaalityön opinnoissa vähäistä. Artikkelissa tutkitaan sosiaalityön opiskelijoiden reflektoimia oppimiskokemuksia lähisuhdeväkivallasta. Aineistona on 54 oppimispäiväkirjaa, jotka on kerätty ensimmäiseltä sosiaalityön valtakunnalliselta lähisuhdeväkivaltaa ja sen ammatillista kohtaamista käsittelevältä verkkokurssilta. Oppiminen paikantui neljään eri kehykseen: ammatillinen kompetenssi, kokemusreflektio, väkivaltaspesifit rajat ja asennemuutos. Opiskelijoiden henkilökohtaisesti kokeman ja todistaman väkivallan yleisyys kertoo aiheen sensitiivisyydestä ja asettaa haasteita verkko-opetukselle. Verkkomuotoisella opetuksella on mahdollista kehittää opiskelijoiden kliinisiä taitoja, vaikka suora kontakti asiakkaaseen ja opettajaan puuttuvat. Sensitiivisen aiheen käsittely edellyttää kuitenkin opettajalta perinteistä verkko-opetusta aktiivisempaa kommunikointia opiskelijoiden kanssa.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of arthroereisis using synthetic polyethylene implants as a method to correct deformities of excessive valgus in pediatric patients with flexible flatfoot (FF). Methods: This was a study of 20 patients between 5 and 12 years of age with symptomatic FF who received surgery between January 2011 and July 2016. Evaluations were made on the basis of the Valenti podoscopic classification, radiographic images, and AOFAS criteria. Patients with preoperative Valenti classification grades of III and IV were selected for the study. These patients received surgical treatment by arthroereisis with the interposition of a synthetic implant in the sinus tarsi, with or without stretching of the Achilles tendon (Vulpius surgery). A multiple linear regression analysis was performed with backward selection of the following variables: Valenti preoperative classification and the preand postoperative Bordelon, Kite, Gould, Meary and Pitch angles that were measured from the radiographic images of the patients who received arthroereisis. Results: Arthroereisis with synthetic material interposition was satisfactory, with 21 of the feet (91% of cases) showing clinical and radiographic improvement with angle correction and improved degree of deformity based on the Valenti classification. Two cases experienced implant loosening. The Bordelon and Pitch angle variables had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the improvement in degree of deformity correction based on the Valenti classification. Conclusion: Arthroereisis resulted in significant improvements in the patients who were studied, with pronounced clinical improvement and high degrees of satisfaction. Level of evidence IV; Therapeutic Studies; Case Series.

Analysis of elements and process of school principals' professionalization in Croatia
Authors: Relja Renata , Popović Toni , Gutović Tea
Published: June 2019

By combining the attributive-taxonomic and process approaches to the profession, resulting from different sociological traditions, the professional elements and the professionalization of school principals in Croatia are analysed. The research was conducted by survey method in 2017. The sample was convenient and included 73 principals who participated in the research activities of the Centre of Scientific Excellence for School Effectiveness and Management. Our results suggest that the job of school principals in Croatia cannot be considered a profession yet. There are no fundamental elements that differentiate the profession from an ordinary occupation. More specifically, there is a lack of expertise in the area of educational management and leadership (authority), cooperation with professional associations in defining the professional socialization (autonomy), as well as high social status (attractiveness) as a result of the state of previous elements. Given the contextual specificity, the discussion presents incentives, obstacles and recommendations for further professionalization of school principals in Croatia. The importance of professional education is emphasized, whose design and implementation should involve representatives of principals’ rofessional associations, as well as decentralization of education system so that theoretical expertise can be developed through the practice. As the trained practitioners focused on a benefit of the educational system stakeholders (altruism), the principals should set the conditions of the profession to make it more attractive for the best candidates.
Training as strategy for school self-evaluation capacity building

Published: June 2019

The aim of the paper is to discuss the importance of school (self-) evaluation capacity building within quality assurance system in education in Slovenia. The research is focused on self-evaluation training program in 245 educational institutions. The results demonstrate its importance and pinpoints several challenges, i.e.: “how to build organizational (leaders’) evaluation capacity”, “learning transfer in practice”, and “how to choose among various evaluation capacity building strategies”. Building upon empirical findings, the paper suggests that the training as a sole strategy for capacity building does not suffice in the competitive, quality-driven educational context. Correspondingly, the model of self-evaluation capacity building for schools is presented and discussed.
The Founding of the Convent of the Congregation of st Catherine in Krakės in the 17th Century
Authors: Kamuntavičienė Vaida
Published: June 2019

The Warmian (Ermland) Braniewo (Braunsberg) burgher Regina Protmann founded the community of St Catherine of Alexandria the Virgin Martyr in 1571, which the Holy See confirmed as a congregation in 1602. The congregation of sisters took an oath of poverty, chastity and obedience, agreeing to serve people, to care for those who were suffering, and to educate society. The ideas of the Sisters of St Catherine reached the Diocese of Samogitia in the 17th century. Its bishop, Jerzy Tyszkiewicz (Tiškevičius), founded the Krakės (Kroki) convent in 1645. Due to political, cultural and other circumstances, the transformation of this convent into a community of the Sisters of St Catherine took longer than expected, happening only in 1689 when the papal nuncio Giaccomo Cantelmi confirmed the community based on the rule of St Catherine. This article seeks to show the foundation process, revealing the differences between the Samogitian Sisters of St Catherine and those in the Warmian bishopric.
