Published: August 2017

En el presente trabajo se analizan posibles respuestas diferenciales del crecimiento de los adolescentes, en particular, cambios de forma, con relación al grupo social, estimado por nivel educativo, de los padres y madres. Para cuantificar los cambios en la forma corporal se utilizó el método del somatotipo. La muestra se constituyó con 208 escolares, de ambos sexos, de 12 a 18 años pertenecientes a dos escuelas públicas de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Antes del relevamiento antropométrico, padres y alumnos respondieron una encuesta semiestructurada sobre el nivel educativo alcanzado por los primeros, y sobre sus respectivas dietas, hábitos alimentarios y actividades recreativas y físicas. En este trabajo indagamos sobre posibles asociaciones entre el somatotipo de los alumnos y el nivel educativo alcanzado por los padres. Para calcular el somatotipo fueron relevadas variables antropométricas originales (peso, estatura, pliegue subcutáneo tricipital, subescapular, suprailíaco y de la pierna, los diámetros bicondíleos del húmero y fémur y los perímetros del brazo contraído y de la pierna). Además del somatotipo individual se obtuvo el somatotipo grupal por cada categoría de agrupamiento (sexo y edad). El grupo femenino exhibió, de acuerdo con lo esperado según la literatura, somatotipos más endomorfos que los varones. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel educativo entre padres y madres de las distintas escuelas. Estos resultados podrían estar influyendo en los niveles de endomorfía de los participantes, la cual fue mayor en aquellos de la escuela cuyos padres presentaron menor nivel educativo.

Published: August 2017

Comenzando por las clásicas preguntas “Quiénes somos”, “De dónde venimos” y “Hacia dónde vamos”, los autores presentan un extenso estado de la cuestión en el campo de la evolución humana, área que no deja de producir cambios, no solo por los hallazgos sino por las nuevas interpretaciones. La obra es de gran valor comunicativo por su forma y su contenido.

El libro está muy bien escrito y los temas son tratados con profundidad sin abusar de tecnicismos, lo que lo hace comprensible para estudiantes de antropología, arqueología y biología y de todos aquellos interesados en la evolución humana. Considerando que estos estudios progresan muy rápidamente y que en pocos meses pueden tornarse obsoletas algunas informaciones o hipótesis previamente sostenidas, los autores incorporaron resúmenes de artículos recientemente publicados en revistas prestigiosas, con novedades que pueden prever, en un futuro inmediato, cambios significativos en estos estudios. Para finalizar, cabe mencionar que en la parte introductoria del texto los organizadores plantearon que uno de sus objetivos era cubrir la falencia de obras actualizadas, escritas en portugués, sobre evolución humana. El propósito fue alcanzado y el libro reúne además condiciones para ser recomendado a personas de habla española.

Fenomena pembalikan harga saham pada kelompok saham winner maupun kelompok saham loser dalam aktivitas pasar modal seringkali ditemui. Berangkat dari hal inilah banyak peneliti di berbagai negara kembali mempertanyakan apakah selama ini keputusan investor selalu rasional ataukah irasional ?. Pertanyaan yang sama juga banyak disampaikan para peneliti yang mengkaji di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) yang menemukan hasil beragam. Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut dalam penelitian ini kembali dilakukan kajian mengenai perilaku investor dari sudut pandang overreaction hypothesis, ukuran perusahaan, likuiditas saham, dan bid-ask spread. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut penelitian difokuskan kepada saham – saham yang termasuk dalam kelompok LQ-45 pada tahun 2011 sampai dengan tahun 2013 dengan menggunakan regresi data panel sebagai alat analisis dan pengujian hipotesis.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: pertama, terdapat peristiwa pembalikan harga pada saham – saham dalam kategori loser kelompok saham LQ-45 dalam bulan Oktober 2011, Februari 2012, dan Desember 2012. Terjadinya pembalikan harga saham disebabkan oleh adanya perilaku overreaction dari para investor. Kedua, baik secara parsial maupun simultan hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terbukti adanya pengaruh antara ukuran perusahaan, likuiditas saham, dan bid-ask spread terhadap peristiwa pembalikan harga saham pada saham – saham loser. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa informasi mengenai saham yang berkenaan dengan analisis teknikal dalam periode pengamatan tidak lagi menjadi acuan para investor untuk mengambil keputusan berinvestasi

Aim. Determination of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content and cell distribution in mytotic cycle phases in the groups of patients with primary soft tissue sarcomas.

Methods. Study material was the tumours of patients with primary soft tissue sarcomas. Study methods included histological, DNA cytometric and statistical methods.

Results. Differences in proliferative activity and proliferation index in primary sarcomas depending on the tumor differentiation grade and disease stage were revealed. Differences in the numbers of diploid, aneuploid and polyploid cells depending on the cell cycle phases were determined in each group and between groups. Depending on the differentiation grade of soft tissue sarcoma, parameters of the cell cycle in soft tissue sarcomas were as follows: well-differentiated tumors (G1) were diploid in 100% of cases, and moderately differentiated tumors (G2) were aneuploid in 50% of cases. Poorly differentiated tumors (G3) were characterized by significantly higher content of aneuploid cells, in comparison with G2 tumors (33.1±5.2 and 16.5±6.8, respectively). Analysis of kinetic parameters of cell cycle demonstrated decreased proportion of cells in G1/G0 cell cycle phase from G1 to G3, accompanied by a statistically significant increase of the proportion of cells in S phase (p ˂0.05).

Conclusion. DNA cytometric study of cell cycle parameters demonstrated high biological potential of primary soft tissue sarcomas; high malignant potential can probably be determined by two parameters: proportion of the cells in G2+М phase and cell loss factor.

Published: August 2017

Aim. Evaluation of the results of venography and efficacy of gonadal veins embolization in female patients with pelvic congestive syndrome and concomittant genital pathology.

Methods. The study included 61 patients with pelvic varicosities diagnosed on the basis of ultrasound and Doppler studies of the veins with obligatory use of Valsalva test. The average age of the patients was 34.11±0.98 years. Patients were divided into groups according to the presence or absence of concomitant genital pathology: group A - 16 patients with pelvic varicose veins without concomitant genital pathology; group B - 20 patients with pelvic varicose veins and endometriosis; group C - 25 patients with pelvic varicose veins and other genital pathology. All patients underwent selective pelvic vein embolization by the combined method with the use of coils and sclerosants. The variants of anatomical structure of venous system in patients from three groups were clarified according to the results of venography. Efficacy of the method was assessed by the change in pelvic pain intensity according to Visual Analogue Scale before and after embolization.

Results. Bilateral pelvic varicose veins in all groups was the most prevalent variant diagnosed in venography. In groups A and C 87.5 and 84% of patients, respectively, noted improvement. In group B 35% of patients reported improvement, while 65% maintained pain after embolization. However, even while maintaining pain, decrease of its intensity was reported by 35% of patients, but in 6 (30%) of cases it required surgical organ-resecting treatment.

Conclusion. Venograghy in pelvic congestive syndrome in women is characterized by stagnation of venous blood in the venous system of pelvis with the reflux and valvular incompetence; endovascular method confirmed its high efficiency for relieving pelvic pain syndrome; we had no complications during the study.

Published: August 2017

Aim. Study of the prevalence of dentofacial anomalies among school children of grades 1 to 11 of one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast.

Methods. We conducted an examination of 663 school children aged 7 to 16 years in one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast. The obtained data were recorded in the form of the oral cavity examination of the Central scientific research institute of dental and maxillofacial surgery.

Results. As a result of examination it turned out that prevalence of teeth and occlusion anomalies in school children ranges from 61 to 89%, and in most age groups it is at a fairly stable level of 80%, which is very high. An alarming fact is that at the age of 7 to 10 years combined teeth and occlusion anomalies were detected in the range from 88.6±3.79% to 82.9±4.16%; it indicates that only every fifth child has a healthy dentofacial system. At the age of 11 this indicator is much lower, while among school children aged more than 16 years it is at the level of 75.6±6.7%.

Conclusion. High prevalence of dentofacial system anomalies was revealed among children of school age in one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast; sufficiency of qualified personnel would provide timely diagnosis of early forms of anomalies, correct disorders and ensure normal development of the child’s dentoalveolar-facial system.

“Special theatre” as a tool of social inclusion: Russian and international experience
Authors: Rubtsova O.V. , Sidorov A.V.
Published: August 2017

The aim of this article is to get the reader acquainted with the history of the inclusive theatre movement in Russia and abroad, as well as to discuss its challenges and perspectives in the context of social inclusion. The authors make an attempt to elaborate an inclusive theatre model, focusing on the system of concepts of the cultural-historical scientific school. The model is based on L.S. Vygotsky’s idea that every physical impairment reveals itself as a social “abnormality” of behaviour, which means that its overcoming can occur in a situation of organised social interaction. The authors argue that this kind of interaction can be created in the situation of inclusive theatrical activity, where “conflicts and collisions” are intentionally modeled, and where “pereghivanie” and reflection are regarded as the key mechanisms of organising the process of joint action.

Authors: Phirke Deepa S. , Phirke Sachin O. , Khot Swati
Published: August 2017

Background: Short stature can be a normal variant or secondary to an underlying disorder. It is necessary to evaluate short stature to differentiate a normal from pathological short stature and thus decide the further treatment needed. This study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital to find out the various etiologies of short statureMethods: An observational study was conducted on 49 children in age of 2-12 years with short stature. They were grouped as normal variants and pathological short stature depending on upper-lower segment ratio the study group was later divided into proportionate and disproportionate short stature. They were further investigated to find out the etiology of the short stature. The bone age of all groups was compared with the chronological age to calculate the bone age retardation.Results: Out of 49 children 26.5% were normal variants and 73.4% as pathological type. 77.7% of pathological short stature were proportionate type. The male:female ratio was 1:1.4. Chronic systemic disorders were detected in 24.48% while malnutrition and endocrine disorders constituted 12% each. The bone age retardation in endocrine disorders was 0.47.Conclusions: Chronic systemic disorders were commonest cause of pathological short stature in this study. Females were predominantly affected in all groups and bone age retardation was maximum in endocrine disorders, thus indicating that early diagnosis and management of these disorders is necessary to decrease the growth retardation in these children. An understanding of short stature not only permits to differentiate a normal variant from an underlying disorder but also helps in modifying the course by means of early intervention.

Authors: Rahayu Mundi
Published: August 2017

This paper explores the image of women in Chinua Achebe novel’s Things Fall Apart. As the prominent postcolonial writer, Achebe has a vivid expression describing the social cultural values of the Ibo community in Nigeria, Africa. Analysis of the novel is done through the perspective of postcolonial feminism. Postcolonial feminism finds the relation and intersection between Postcolonialism and feminism. This interplay is interesting to observe. The findings show that in traditional patriarchal culture as in the novel, women are portrayed happy, harmonious members of the community, even when they are repeatedly beaten and barren from any say in the communal decision-making process and constantly reviled in sayings and proverbs. However some other interesting findings are that the women also have big role in the belief system of the community, and in Achebe’s novel he made it an amusement, for example by punishing Okonkwo because of his beating to his wife in the sacred time.

Implementing a Student-Centered Pedagogy: Doing so in the Indonesian Teaching-Learning Context
Authors: Triyoko Hanung
Published: August 2017

Today’s educators must be willing to shift from the teacher-centered paradigm, which was in place when they themselves were students, to the new paradigm of student-centered education. This article was inspired by the challenges and opportunities experienced by the writers while attempting to  implement a student-centered pedagogy. We will share some of our experiences as educators to provide a context for various aspects of student centered-learning.  Understanding some of the successes and failures we have experienced in our careers may help to highlight the potential and importance of student-centered pedagogy in its many facets. Based on the vignettes from our teaching experiences, we have identified four major ideas about how to adopt a more student-centered approach: planning lessons that encourage student interest; adapting the curriculum to meet student’s needs; using technology in the classroom; and developing mutually respectful relationships.
