Οι κατολισθήσεις είναι ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς τύπους φυσικών καταστροφών. Το φαινόμενο αυτό αποτελεί μείζονα απειλή τόσο κοινωνικά όσο και οικονομικά, αφού μπορεί να επιφέρει καταστροφές οδικών δικτύων και των συνοδών τους τεχνικών έργων, καθώς και μη βιωσιμότητα ολόκληρων οικισμών λόγω επισφαλών συνθηκών. Η βροχόπτωση έχει αναγνωρισθεί ως ένα από τα κύρια αίτια εκδήλωσης κατολισθήσεων. Η δράση της βροχόπτωσης αποδυναμώνει τα πρανή αυξάνοντας το βαθμό κορεσμού του εδάφους και καταλύοντας τους δεσμούς που έχουν δημιουργηθεί λόγω της επιφανειακής τάσης (surface tension) μεταξύ των εδαφικών σωματιδίων. Η σημασία του παράγοντα της βροχόπτωσης στις κατολισθήσεις τις καθιστά εξαρτώμενες από το εκάστοτε κλιματικό καθεστώς και επομένως ευπαθείς σε πιθανές αλλαγές του. Οι Borgatti και Soldati ισχυρίζονται ότι αλλαγές στην βροχόπτωση, την θερμοκρασία και την εξατμισοδιαπνοή θα επηρεάσουν απευθείας το υδρολογικό καθεστώς στις κλιτύες. Το καθεστώς αυτό θα επιδράσει στον τύπο, το ρυθμό και την χρονική και χωρική κατανομή των εδαφικών κινήσεων. Λαμβάνοντας συνεπώς υπόψη μας τον κατολισθητικό κίνδυνο και ως επακόλουθο μιας ενδεχόμενης κλιματικής αλλαγής καθίσταται απαραίτητη η κατανόηση και η μοντελοποίηση των μηχανισμών που λαμβάνουν χώρα κατά τη δράση βροχοπτώσεων επί των πρανών με στόχο τη σωστή πρόβλεψη της θέσης και της χρονικής στιγμής της εμφάνισης της αστοχίας.Το παραπάνω φαινόμενο αποτέλεσε αντικείμενο της έρευνάς μου κατά τη διάρκεια της διδακτορικής μου διατριβής μέσα από τους ακόλουθους τρείς άξονες: εφαρμογή του κατάλληλου φυσικού αριθμητικού μοντέλου (physically-based model) για την προσομοίωση του φαινομένου, τη διερεύνηση χρήσης ενός πιο γενικευμένου κριτηρίου αστάθειας της ύλης (generalized criterion of material instability) για τον εντοπισμό της απαρχής της αστοχίας και τη διερεύνηση επιρροής της εφαρμογής καταστατικών προσομοιωμάτων ευρείας χρήσης (Mohr-Coulomb Drucker-Prager) και προηγμένων καταστατικών προσομοιωμάτων ακολουθώντας τη θεωρία γενικευμένης πλαστικότητας (generalized plasticity) στην περιγραφή της συμπεριφοράς των εδαφικών υλικών.
Moving on from the pandemic in school- a roadmap to flexible modalities
Authors: Prestridge Sarah
Published: July 2023

Teaching during the remote episodes of the Covid pandemic demonstrated that the majority of classroom teachers replicated classroom practices rather than adapting to a new system for learning. During the rapid shift online, professional development of teachers focused on upskilling rather than changing and challenging teaching practices. As a result, students were unmotivated and disengaged. The problem now exists that teachers are stuck with a lack of understanding of how to teach online with the likelihood of further external uncontrollable occurrences. Additionally, there is no roadmap forward on how to harness the benefits of learning online through the emerging flexible modalities of blended or hybrid teaching in schools. The current risk is that schools return to classroom based pedagogies and miss the opportunities that learning online brings. In this paper I draw from research and experience in the field of educational technologies, online and digital pedagogies, and teacher professional learning. I bring together these understandings to address this crucial stage in schooling offering a way forward. To do this, there is a need to pause in time, to reflect on what is known and what is important to consider to be able to move forward effectively. As such I firstly examine the rush to get online and the frenzied up-skilling of teachers so that we have a better understanding of what skills were developed. I then synthesises the literature to identify what pedagogical skills are needed to effectively teach online in a classroom context. Drawing extensively from theories and empirical studies over the last 30 years I then present a roadmap forward that offers professional development of a different kind identifying the need to change teachers’ practices from replicating the classroom or tooling them to teaching effectively online.
Algorithm for multimodal medication therapy in patients with complex regional pain syndrome
Authors: Chang Min Cheol , Park Donghwi
Published: July 2023

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia, is a clinical entity characterized by classic neuropathic pain, autonomic involvement, motor symptoms, and trophic changes in the skin, nails, and hair. Although various therapeutic modalities are used to control CRPS-related pain, severe pain due to CRPS often persists and progresses to the chronic phase. In this study, we constructed an algorithm for multimodal medication therapy for CRPS based on the established pathology of CRPS. Oral steroid pulse therapy is recommended for initial pain management in patients with CRPS. Oral steroid therapy can reduce peripheral and central neuroinflammation, contributing to the development of neuropathic pain during the acute and chronic phases. If steroid pulse therapy offers poor relief or is ineffective, treatment to control central sensitization in the chronic phase should be initiated. If pain persists despite all drug adjustments, ketamine with midazolam 2 mg before and after ketamine injection can be administered intravenously to inhibit the N-methyl D-aspartate receptor. If this treatment fails to achieve sufficient efficacy, intravenous lidocaine can be administered for 2 weeks. We hope that our proposed drug treatment algorithm to control CRPS pain will help clinicians appropriately treat patients with CRPS. Further clinical studies assessing patients with CRPS are warranted to establish this treatment algorithm in clinical practice.
AYN RAND: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Authors: Block Walter E
Published: July 2023

I pose a series of questions about Ayn Rand and her political-economic philosophy and attempt to respond to them. On most occasions my views are congruent with hers; but not on all of them. Why is it important that the views of this author be scrutinized? That is because, with her novels and non-fiction works, she had a wildly disproportionate effect on world public policy. She did more than pretty much anyone else on the planet to promote private property rights, free enterprise, and laissez-fair capitalism. Her main vehicle, her main contribution to the limited government philosophy was her 1957 book, "Atlas Shrugged" (which is still briskly selling, more than a half-century later). This novel tells the tale of the real contributors to the economy: not workers, but, rather, employers; businessmen, capitalists, inventors, and investors. We all know what happens when employees go on strike: there is vast chaos. This book is certainly the first, and perhaps, still, the only on to trace out what happens when entrepreneurs withdraw their labor. Spoiler alert: it is not pretty.
DEVELOPMENT OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF THE INDUSTRY SECTOR OF THE REGION
Authors: Kovaleva Irina V
Published: July 2023

One of the key issues for the effective development of the agricultural sector of the economy is foreign economic activity. The study was conducted in order to study the level of development of the sectoral market of certain types of agricultural products in an agro-oriented cross-border region in the context of reaching the international level and the availability of logistics infrastructure. The indicators of the promising leading sectors of the agricultural sector of the economy (economic, innovative, infrastructural) considered for evaluation make it possible to objectively assess the level of sectoral development and give appropriate recommendations, taking into account the logistical capabilities of the region and its cross-border location, the effective functioning of crop and livestock industries in the context of the development of international activity. Effective sectoral development involves the interaction of all constituent elements, while a special role is assigned to the processing link, which has the final action in the technological production chain in the form of the presentation of finished products on the consumer market, as well as the logistics infrastructure, which allows optimizing transportation costs. The proposed segmentation of local production areas on the example of the dairy industry based on the potential in the form of production of raw milk and its processing suggests the presence of a cheese-making zone and a zone for the production of whole-milk products, oriented to the domestic and international markets. The developed transport infrastructure of the region and the cross-border position allows integrating into international transport corridors, which will allow more efficient development of sectoral markets for agricultural products. The results of the study can be the basis for making a forecast for the sustainable development of the agricultural sectors of the region, the processing industry in the context of active foreign economic activity.
Foreign bodies inside us - Trends and knowledge regarding long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) use, factors influencing of contraceptives choice-making process, and the dual-method use among Polish college-aged women
Authors: Nowak Aleksandra , Nowak Alicja , Kiełbowicz Magdalena
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The choice-making process of the contraceptive method seems complex and influenced by many factors. Long-acting reversible contraceptives require mechanical interference with the woman's body. For some, it will be an insurmountable barrier whilst for others a chance to enjoy a successful sex life without fear of pregnancy. Recognizing the factors influencing their use will allow us to identify target groups, increase awareness, and spread knowledge about them.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess contraceptive use trends and knowledge, focusing on long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and vaginal rings, also to identify predictors associated with their use and analyze the decision-making process for dual-method use (hormonal plus barrier method) among female college students in Poland.

Materials and methods: A self-administered questionnaire including 44 questions in the form of a web-based survey distributed among peers in social media platforms and forums.

Results: In the survey a total of 700 female students aged 19±25 took part. All the questions about LARC and vaginal rings were answered correctly by only 19 participants (2.71%). The most knowledgeable were medical students (p<0.0001). Out of 55 LARC and vaginal ring users (7.86%), 47 female students (76.4%,) stated the improvement of their life. Of the methods interfering with the body, the study group most frequently chose the vaginal ring (38.1%) and least frequently the hormone injection (0.1%). 

Conclusions: Participants’ knowledge of LARC methods and vaginal rings is insufficient and its main influencing factors are faculty type and frequency of intercourse. LARC and vaginal disc are not the first contraception choice. Fear of pregnancy is the most common factor for dual method use.

Published: July 2023

Protective vaccinations are crucial for preventing infectious diseases and their complications, offering a high safety profile and minimal adverse effects. However, vaccine hesitancy has emerged as a public health concern, leading to outbreaks of communicable diseases. This study aims to investigate the attitudes towards vaccinations among doctors and nurses, as well as their knowledge level and vaccination frequency. The research employed a cross-sectional design and collected data using an anonymous questionnaire. The study was conducted in southern Poland, involving Primary Healthcare Centers and hospitals. A total of 878 paper surveys were collected among 542 doctors and 336 nurses.
El método filosófico y la relación en cuanto relación como noción metafísica absoluta.
Authors: Cisneros Arellano José Luis
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un acercamiento metafísico al problema del método filosófico como proceso de reflexión y, con ello, enunciar que toda investigación filosófica se sustenta en la noción de relación como concepto metafísico absoluto. La tesis que sostengo señala, primero, que la relación es la expresión ontológica fundamental, y segundo, la noción de porción es el concepto mínimo de sentido en toda multiplicidad ontológica y todo criterio gnoseológico. Al asumirlas como premisas deduzco de ellas la proporción (analogía) que hace posible establecer un vínculo congruente entre un mundo ontológico α y un criterio gnoseológico β apoyado en una lógica de magmas, indispensable para acudir a que llamo lógica gamma.
Sobre las emociones y la naturaleza pedagógica de la música en la filosofía platónica.
Authors: Arellano José Miguel
Published: July 2023

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto describir y examinar el lugar que las emociones ocupan dentro de la filosofía platónica, principalmente en función de sus reflexiones sobre la música y la orientación eminentemente pedagógica que el filósofo identifica en ella. A partir de un análisis de diferentes momentos de su obra, en los cuales se discute el fenómeno musical, nos proponemos examinar su teoría con el objeto de identificar sus rasgos distintivos y, sobre todo, el lugar particularísimo que ella ocupa en su modelo educativo, con especial atención al caso de los guardianes. Dado que aquello que preocupa a Platón no es la disciplina propiamente tal, sostenemos que, a grandes rasgos, es posible señalar que su teoría musical es, en realidad, una ética de la música, en tanto que se orienta en función del ethos griego, operando como herramienta pedagógica que permite inducir cambios conductuales en quienes la reciben.
Sobre la influencia y afinidades entre Schmitt y Laclau.
Authors: Salinas Alejandra M.
Published: July 2023

Este artículo aborda el concepto de lo político de Carl Schmitt y la teoría populista de Ernesto Laclau. Se ofrece, primero, una crítica de la literatura sobre la supuesta recepción del pensamiento de Schmitt en Laclau, en relación a sus nociones de antagonismo, representación, unanimidad, e identificación. Luego se reconstruyen y comparan los argumentos de los dos autores sobre el enemigo, la referencia al pueblo como sujeto político y el carácter existencial de lo político. Sin pretensión de elaborar un análisis conceptual exhaustivo para no exceder el espacio aquí disponible, se señala que a lo largo de su trayectoria Laclau ignoró a Schmitt (a excepción de un artículo sobre la guerra) y que, si bien Schmitt no fue una influencia intelectual en Laclau, hay algunas similitudes en sus modelos teóricos
Fenomenología de la higiene: dignidad y autocontrol.
Authors: Venebra Muñoz Marcela
Published: July 2023

La tesis que desarrolla este artículo es que la higiene es una estructura protoaxiológica en la que nace el yo de la voluntad, del querer y el valorar. En la higiene el yo tiene su génesis como voluntad –encarnada– de autodominio. Intento mostrar que la instauración del autocontrol como un valor concretizante del yo, en tanto sujeto libre, está en el núcleo de lo que reconocemos como ‘pauta higiénica’ o primer modo socializado del impulso. Desarrollo estos argumentos en tres momentos correspondientes a fases de los análisis husserlianos de la constitución en Ideas II: en el primero describo la materialidad viviente y vivida del cuerpo en los límites de la impulsividad sobre la que se instaura el autocontrol como un valor, tema que desarrollo en el segundo apartado. Finalmente, exploro la relación entre higiene y dignidad, esto es, el modo en que las posibilidades de cumplimiento de autocontrol del cuerpo determinan la captación del valor de sí de la persona humana.
Three epistemic problems in the study on evolution of language.
Authors: Zavala Olalde Juan Carlos
Published: July 2023

Este trabajo es una crítica a los estudios sobre la evolución del lenguaje mediante la identificación de tres problemas epistémicos. La crítica epistémica parte de la definición del lenguaje y la unidad de evolución. El resultado es remitirnos de la pregunta por el origen del lenguaje a la pregunta por el origen del ser humano que son los otros dos problemas epistémicos. El límite superior en el estudio de la evolución del lenguaje es cómo saber qué es ser humano. De esta manera, entendemos que los estudios sobre la evolución del lenguaje se refieren al proceso de cómo nos reconocemos como humanos. La falta de la definición de lenguaje para tener la unidad de evolución, con la confusión sobre el origen del lenguaje y los humanos apunta que la evolución del lenguaje aún está al nivel de una taxonomía, lejos de ser una explicación sistemática del lenguaje o la evolución.
El tambor de hojalata: biopolítica y violencia fáctica.
Authors: López Fernández Daniel
Published: July 2023

La novela de Günter Grass El tambor de hojalata (1959) representa de forma paradigmática el horizonte letal de la biopolítica nacionalsocialista. Frente a un biopoder que lo excluye y amenaza con aniquilarlo, el protagonista Óscar Matzerath ejerce un tipo de violencia que se podría caracterizar de “fática”, con la que no solo defiende su vida, sino también reivindica su subjetividad.
Estudio sobre el problema de la inducción utilizando E-prime y TRIZ.
Authors: Luna Alcoba Manuel
Published: July 2023

E-prime designa un lenguaje escrito (en este caso, español), privado del verbo “ser”. TRIZ hace referencia a la Teoría para la Resolución de Problemas de Inventiva, auténtico ars inveniendi desarrollado por G. S. Altshuller en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. No existen precedentes de estudios filosóficos que combinen ambos procedimientos. Aunque el espacio disponible no nos permite su exposición detallada, presentamos aquí, a modo de ejemplo práctico, el experimento intelectual consistente en abordar el problema de la inducción utilizando un protocolo de TRIZ llamado “Resultado Final Ideal” y sin enunciar lo que las cosas son o dejan de ser
Juicio ético y juicio práctico a partir de la filosofía moral de Rosmini.
Authors: Buganza Torio Jacob
Published: July 2023

En este artículo, se busca poner de realce un tema poco advertido en la filosofía moral de Antonio Rosmini. Se trata de la diferencia entre juicio ético y juicio práctico: podrían parecer expresiones sinónimas, pero en realidad guardan una enorme diferencia, análoga a la que se da entre la dimensión teórica (filosófica) y práctica de la vida diaria. El artículo muestra, siguiendo los textos rosminianos, especialmente el Trattato della coscienza morale, que los juicios éticos son fórmulas morales que constituyen la ciencia de la moral, pero no su realización, mientras que los juicios prácticos son el acto voluntario por el cual se vuelve efectiva una formulación ética, o por el que se aplica una fórmula moral y modifica el estatuto real del mundo. El juicio ético es un juicio teórico y, por ende, se diferencia netamente del juicio práctico que da inicio al acto moral. Puede decirse que ambos versan sobre la dimensión moral, por lo que pertenecen al género de los juicios morales, pero se diferencian en cuanto los éticos son meramente éticos, mientras que cuando se vuelven principio del acto moral, toman el nombre de prácticos.
Estratégias de educação em saúde nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental: um estudo de revisão integrativa
Authors: Engers Patrícia Becker , Copetti Jaqueline , Graup Susane , Ilha Phillip Vilanova
Published: July 2023

Historicamente, os campos da educação e da saúde estão interligados em busca de melhores condições de vida para a sociedade. Neste sentido, é importante que a educação em saúde seja abordada desde a infância, a fim de promover conhecimento e reflexões sobre a temática e sua dinamicidade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi revisar as publicações científicas relacionadas a educação em saúde nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Para tanto, a revisão da literatura recorreu as bases de dados eletrônicas Pubmed, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (Lilacs e Medline) e Periódicos Capes como fonte de pesquisa. Foram utilizados os descritores educação em saúde, saúde na escola, promoção da saúde, escolares e anos iniciais, para busca. A seleção dos artigos teve como critérios de inclusão: artigos originais de estudos realizados no Brasil e publicados nas línguas português, inglês e espanhol, no intervalo de 2004 a 2019. Foram incluídos 23 estudos na presente revisão. Os temas relacionados a educação em saúde mais recorrentes foram a educação alimentar e nutricional e a educação postural. Quanto às estratégias de ensino para a temática pesquisada, foi possível inferir que a maioria das ações adotam estratégias de caráter lúdico. Conclui-se que o desenvolvimento da temática educação em saúde nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental ainda ocorre de forma pontual e na maioria das vezes conduzidos pelos profissionais da saúde, sendo necessário que a saúde faça, efetivamente, parte do currículo escolar, para que sua abordagem se torne mais efetiva e promova resultados permanentes.
Panorama nacional dos métodos de ensino das escolas médicas: uma avaliação dos métodos de ensino formalmente adotados pelas instituições brasileiras
Authors: Lopes de Lima Lorrany Junia , Nunes Andrade Wellen Zane , Vasconcelos Palácio Maria Augusta , Takenami Iukary , Quintanilha Luiz Fernando
Published: July 2023

Nas últimas décadas, as Instituições de Ensino Superior têm se empenhado em adequar o ensino médico aos novos paradigmas educacionais, integrando novas ferramentas e métodos ativos ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os métodos de ensino, formalmente adotados no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos cursos de Medicina no país. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório com abordagem quantitativa e analítica. Os dados foram obtidos mediante consulta ao portal das Escolas Médicas do Brasil, Projeto Pedagógico de Curso e website institucional. Das 258 escolas analisadas, 200 (77,5%) adotaram como método central de ensino as metodologias ativas de aprendizagem. As regiões Norte (94,7%) e Nordeste (83,6%) foram as que concentraram a maior quantidade de instituições que incorporaram, formalmente, metodologias que privilegiem a participação ativa em comparação ao método tradicional de ensino. Ademais, os métodos ativos foram observados em maior frequência em instituições privadas (80,8%) e em municípios de pequeno/médio porte (82,6%), demonstrando um movimento crescente dos cursos em se adequar aos métodos ativos de ensino. As escolas médicas mais recentes, criadas a partir de 2013, foram as que apresentaram os maiores índices de métodos ativos comparado ao tradicional (94,1% versus 75%, p=0,014). Apesar dos avanços, a inclusão dos métodos ativos nos currículos médicos ainda é um grande desafio, pois a integração de metodologias ativas de aprendizagem requer coerência com a proposta pedagógica do curso, avaliação, planejamento e engajamento dos múltiplos sujeitos sociais que participam deste processo pedagógico.

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir acerca das repercussões do distanciamento social nas rotinas e ocupações de crianças durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de ensaio reflexivo, estruturado a partir de uma revisão narrativa, sendo pesquisados estudos sobre a influência da pandemia nas rotinas e ocupações infantis e identificado os objetivos, métodos e principais resultados de cada documento. Os dados, submetidos à análise de conteúdo, resultaram nas categorias: Distanciamento social e vulnerabilidades; Saúde mental e influências no engajamento em ocupações; Engajamento em ocupações relacionadas à alimentação; Engajamento em ocupações escolares e de aprendizagem e Influências da tecnologia no engajamento em ocupações. Sob a perspectiva ocupacional, as experiências no distanciamento social revelam situações complexas possíveis de desencadear privação ocupacional, prejudicando a saúde e bem-estar de crianças e famílias. Todavia,  podem oportunizar a revisão de formas, propósitos e significados além do engajamento em ocupações que recebiam menos tempo e investimento pessoal.Palavras-chave: Infecções por Coronavirus; Isolamento social; Criança; Desenvolvimento Infantil; Terapia Ocupacional.
Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal ameaçada? O caso do Norte do Paraná
Authors: Martins Caroline Pagani , Caldarelli Pablo Guilherme , Mendonça Fernanda De Freitas
Published: July 2023

Implementada em 2003, atualmente a Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB) se defronta com um cenário de desfinanciamento e falta de priorização política. Nesse contexto, é importante a identificação de possíveis retrocessos à nível local e regional. Sendo assim, avaliou-se a atenção odontológica na macrorregião Norte do Paraná entre 2013 e 2019 por meio de um estudo exploratório executado a partir de dados secundários do Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial do Sistema Único de Saúde e dos relatórios públicos da plataforma e-Gestor. Ao analisar as médias de procedimentos odontológicos básicos individuais e de ações coletivas de saúde bucal, a cobertura de primeira consulta odontológica programática, o total de equipes de saúde bucal por modalidade, as coberturas de equipes de saúde bucal e do modelo tradicional e a razão entre a população e o total de equipes de saúde bucal, observou-se quedas, especialmente a partir de 2017, em todos esses indicadores. Os resultados colocam a macrorregião analisada em um contexto preocupante e põe em alerta também outras localidades, ao evidenciarem desmontes que infligem risco às conquistas históricas de enfrentamento às iniquidades em saúde bucal e de superação de um modelo de atenção odontológica altamente curativista e mutilador.
Violência suicidária: um empurrão para o Suicídio
Authors: Silva Sabrina Lacerda da
Published: July 2023

O suicídio é um tipo de morte violenta, realizada de forma intencional com a finalidade de acabar com uma dor que está tornando o viver insustentável. Os motivos que levam ao ato são os mais variados. Dentre os fatores de risco frisa-se, neste estudo, a violência social, a violência contra si e a violência institucional realizada nos serviços de urgência e emergência. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma reflexão teórica sobre o atendimento ao comportamento suicida, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e propor o uso do termo violência suicidária para toda a violência institucional que afeta e às quais os sujeitos sofrem ao serem atendidos nos serviços de saúde.
Aptidão física e saúde no primeiro currículo da Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo
Authors: Garcia Alessandro Barreta , Monteiro Rui Anderson Costa , Andrade Erinaldo Luiz De , Figueira Junior Aylton
Published: July 2023

Educação Física e saúde na educação brasileira tem sua gênese no período imperial. Todavia, a estrutura curricular sistematizada em cada Unidade da Federação é recente. Nesse sentido, nosso objeto de pesquisa é o currículo de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo iniciado nos anos de 1970, o que nos permite lançar os seguintes questionamentos: Como se apresenta a educação em saúde no primeiro currículos de EFE do Estado de São Paulo? O que é possível extrair do primeiro currículo de EFE do Estado de São Paulo no que se refere à educação em saúde? E qual relevância estes conteúdos ainda podem ter na atualidade? Os objetivos da pesquisa foram; i) Analisar os documentos oficiais que compõem o primeiro currículo do governo estadual de São Paulo a fim de entender de que modo o tema saúde estava inserido nestes documentos e, ii) Compreender as possíveis contribuições destas fontes no planejamento das aulas de Educação Física voltadas para a saúde na atualidade. Na metodologia utilizamos o modelo documental que nos permite examinar diretamente o currículo oficial da época à luz dos itens de análise: concepção do currículo e conteúdos sobre saúde. Os resultados deste estudo permitem entender que um programa de educação em saúde na escola dentro da disciplina  de Educação Física é recorrente, tradicional e, embora seja o primeiro, apresenta sólida fundamentação no sentido de informar e transmitir conhecimentos sobre saúde, o que viabilizou a orientação para o desenvolvimento dos modelos curriculares apresentados posteriormente.

Published: July 2023

Hip pain in a child can pose a diagnostic conundrum. In most cases, the cause of a painful hip is often attributed to trauma, but a number of these cases will be atraumatic. The main entities to consider are inflammatory, infective and neoplastic causes. Pathologies such as avascular necrosis and slipped upper femoral epiphysis can also present in a similar manner. A detailed history and clinical examination are crucial in narrowing down the differential diagnosis. In addition, understanding the most appropriate imaging modalities and the characteristic radiological findings is key in ensuring timely treatment and management. This article reviews the various disease processes in children who present with hip pain and outlines the most appropriate assessment and imaging modalities that will aid diagnosis.

Transformational leaders make a difference in organizations by inspiring and motivating employees. This makes the concept of transformational leadership a significant area of research. This article investigates the relationship between transformational leadership, psychological empowerment and intrinsic motivation in the Turkish workplace. The mediating role of psychological empowerment is also examined. Data was collected from 315 participants working in different sectors in Turkey and analyzed. We found that the transformational leadership behaviors of managers had a positive effect on psychological empowerment and intrinsic motivation. Moreover, the relationship between transformational leadership and intrinsic motivation was fully mediated by psychological empowerment. The article also tests whether employees’ perceptions of transformational leadership, psychological empowerment and intrinsic motivation change according to demographics or not. The present study provides a comprehensive perspective on the psychological and motivational effects of leaders on employees. Keywords: Transformational leadership, Psychological empowerment, Motivation.
Multidiscursivity of Cyberbullying as the Epiphenomenon of Social Media Communication in a Screen Society

Communication modes have significantly changed in recent years. Digitalisation and cybernation of social, scientific and cultural life have caused the emergence of new forms and means of communication. That induces shaping some specific behavioural profiles and manifesting negative traits on the web that sociocultural shifts drive. Cyberbullying has become a highly unwelcome epiphenomenon in social media communication. The inevitable transformation of rapidly changing worldview paradigms, cultural sets and stereotypes actualise the processes determining it. Language reflects those processes and objectifies the modes of communication in cyberspace. They require new research strategies within an interdisciplinary approach. Nonverbal forms of cyberbullying are also fairly common; they combine with language structures to form syncretic patterns. The article discusses the theoretical bases of circulation of those patterns in the multimodal aspect as that approach moves beyond merely language analysis and reveals the polymorphism and multidiscursivity of online communication. Depending on the type of cyberbullying, using various verbal and nonverbal techniques may be of interest in controlling a cyberbully. Clarifying the strategies for representing cyberbullying contributes to a greater understanding of one of the most crucial aspects of social media communication.

Published: July 2023

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the biliary tract is rare, and often difficult to diagnose or to distinguish from other tumors due to its atypical clinical presentation and nonspecific radiological features. Histologically, IMTs are (myo)fibroblastic neoplasms with a prominent inflammatory infiltrate. They are characterized by receptor tyrosine kinase gene rearrangements, most often involving an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK ) translocation. The final diagnosis of IMT depends on histopathology and immunohistochemical examination.

Authors: Lin Xu-Miao , Shi Zhi-Cai
Published: July 2023

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the biliary tract is rare, and often difficult to diagnose or to distinguish from other tumors due to its atypical clinical presentation and nonspecific radiological features. Histologically, IMTs are (myo)fibroblastic neoplasms with a prominent inflammatory infiltrate. They are characterized by receptor tyrosine kinase gene rearrangements, most often involving an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK ) translocation. The final diagnosis of IMT depends on histopathology and immunohistochemical examination. In this manuscript, we provide a clinical and morphomolecular overview of IMT and the difficulties that may arise in using immunohistochemical and molecular techniques in diagnosing IMT.

Using Nepal to understand the Nexus of Climate Change and Land-Use
Authors: Bhandari Medani P.
Published: July 2023

The nexus between land use and climate change is a critical aspect of sustainable development, and few places show this inter-relationship better than Nepal. This paper uses Nepal as an example to explore the interconnections between land use and climate change, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities.

Nepal, with its diverse topography and ecosystems, is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The country’s unique land use patterns, including agriculture, forest cover, and urbanization, play a significant role in shaping its climate resilience and carbon balance. This paper highlights the complex relationship between land use and climate change in such an environment. Balancing land use practices, conserving forests, and biodiversity, and promoting sustainable agriculture are essential for achieving climate resilience and sustainable development. The paper shows that only by addressing the nexus between land use and climate change, can Nepal move towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.

BACKGROUND Αlpha (α)-thalassemia is a global health concern, and improving screening methods is crucial for disease prevention. This study aimed to assess α-thalassemia genotypes and evaluate the effectiveness of various thresholds for mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in prenatal screening for α-thalassemia.

METHODS This cross-sectional study included pregnant women and their husbands who underwent prenatal screening for thalassemia at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vietnam from January 2012 to August 2021. Blood samples were collected and analyzed using the strip assay technique, which can detect 21 common mutations in the α-globin gene and 22 common mutations in the beta-globin gene.

RESULTS Of the 12,030 participants, 931 were identified as having α-thalassemia, with --SEA, -α3.7, and -α4.2 being the most common mutations. When examining different thresholds of MCV and MCH, MCV <85 fL and MCH <28 pg had a lower missing rate than MCV <80 fL and MCH <27 pg, respectively. MCH <28 pg showed the highest sensitivity in screening for α-thalassemia. MCV <85 fL showed the lowest positive predictive value (PPV). The combination of MCV <80 fL and MCH <27 pg showed the lowest sensitivity in screening for α-thalassemia but the highest PPV among all thresholds.

CONCLUSIONS Optimizing the screening methods for α-thalassemia is important for preventing and managing the disease in the community. These findings have important implications for thalassemia prevention and management programs and may contribute to reducing the burden of thalassemia in the global population.
Crowds and Popular Power: Reading Elias Canetti in Caracas
Authors: Samet Robert
Published: July 2023

Abstract: There are strong continuities between crowd theory, which flowered during the early twentieth century, and theories of populist mobilization. Elias Canetti's Crowds and Power (1960) bridges these two literatures. Canetti gives us two relatively underappreciated ideas—the sting of command and the impulse for survival—that explain how populist movements change over time. To demonstrate how Canetti's work speaks to theories of populism, I draw on my fieldwork in Caracas, Venezuela. Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution was, arguably, the most progressive political movement of the twenty-first century, but it veered wildly off course. Crowd theory gives us tools to track this transformation. Rather than imagining that populist movements are vacuous from the outset, Canetti directs attention toward their animating grievances. This article considers how the grievances that fed the Bolivarian Revolution eventually consumed it; this is a modest attempt to understand how one of the most promising political movements in recent memory ended up such a long way from where it started.
Transfer-learning-based multi-wavelength laser sensor for high fidelity and real-time monitoring of ambient temperature and humidity

Published: July 2023

Multi-wavelength laser absorption spectroscopy has the advantages of superior sensitivity, accuracy, and robustness for gas sensing applications, offering an opportunity for the development of high-performance laser-based hygrothermographs. However, accurate and fast determination of gas parameters from multiple spectral features can be quite challenging in the presence of large numbers of features, measurement noise, and increasing demands for real-time measurements. To address this challenge, we propose a transfer-learning-based multi-wavelength laser absorption sensor for the quantitative and simultaneous measurement of temperature and concentration of water vapor, with a focus on real-time monitoring of ambient temperature and relative humidity (RH). A spectral simulation based on the most-updated HITRAN database was employed as the dataset for model pre-training and transfer learning. The experimental dataset was obtained from absorption measurements using a distributed feedback laser that probed multiple water absorption features within the band of 7179−7186cm−1. To evaluate the sensor performance, mean absolute error, error distribution, and linearity were selected. In the presence of an insufficient experimental dataset for direct data training, the proposed transfer learning approach outperformed the traditional deep learning method with a lower prediction error of 0.14°C and 0.42% for temperature and RH, respectively, as compared to the values of 0.84°C and 0.66% obtained using the traditional deep learning method. Finally, the fast data post-processing performance of the proposed transfer learning approach was demonstrated in a field test against the conventional baseline fitting method.
Slot driven dielectric electromagnetically induced transparency metasurface
Authors: Ndukaife Theodore A. , Yang Sui
Published: July 2023

The control of resonant metasurface for electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) offers unprecedented opportunities to tailor lightwave coupling at the nanoscale leading to many important applications including slow light devices, optical filters, chemical and biosensors. However, the realization of EIT relies on the high degree of structural asymmetry by positional displacement of optically resonant structures, which usually lead to low quality factor (Q-factor) responses due to the light leakage from structural discontinuity from asymmetric displacements. In this work, we demonstrate a new pathway to create high quality EIT metasurface without any displacement of constituent resonator elements. The mechanism is based on the detuning of the resonator modes which generate dark-bright mode interference by simply introducing a slot in metasurface unit cells (meta-atoms). More importantly, the slot diameter and position on the meta-atom can be modulated to tune the transmittance and quality factor (Q-factor) of the metasurface, leading to a Q-factor of 1190 and near unity transmission at the same time. Our work provides a new degree of freedom in designing optically resonant elements for metamaterials and metasurfaces with tailored wave propagation and properties.
