Un espejo para las personas. Disrupciones y aporías en documentos curriculares nacionales de Finlandia
Authors: Saari Antti , Tervasmäki Tuomas
Published: February 2022

Los textos de los currículos nacionales son ejemplos de las dificultades inherentes a la representación y construcción de las nociones de ciudadanía en una sociedad democrática. Mientras que los soberanos predemocráticos recibían consejos maquiavélicos del tipo «espejos para príncipes», el currículum escolar moderno encarna una «lógica especular» del discurso político, proporcionando al pueblo una imagen de sí mismo como «unidad en la diferencia». Esta imagen se implementa y refuerza en el sistema educativo.Utilizando la teoría política postfundacionalista, analizamos cómo se fabrican las representaciones de la ciudadanía en los discursos de los planes de estudio nacionales en una época de dislocación percibida, cuando la continuidad del orden político se ve amenazada. Como ejemplo de caso, utilizamos los discursos curriculares finlandeses –los currículos nacionales, así como los textos académicos para la planificación, la implementación y la evaluación de los currículos– desde la década de 1950 hasta la de 1970. Estos discursos construyen una tesis cultural de una nación en la que los antiguos símbolos de unidad nacional –basados en nociones románticas de país, lengua y fe– se están evaporando rápidamente. Se considera que los profundos cambios políticos, tecnológicos e industriales exigen una adaptación y una capacidad de cooperación más generales que antes, lo que equivale a una nueva orientación temporal o «choque de futuro», cuyo objetivo es responder a las exigencias futuras desconocidas en lugar de limitarse a asegurar un sentido de continuidad histórica.
Historizando al niño ahistórico del currículum portugués de educación artística en la enseñanza primaria. La educación artística en la escuela como forma de gobierno del alma del niño
Authors: Martins Catarina S.
Published: February 2022

Esta contribución aborda la escritura de la historia de la educación como una historia del presente. La historia del presente es vista como un estilo de razón concebido, a la vez, como un gesto metodológico y teórico. Busca, a través de un cuestionamiento de las zonas ciegas del presente, rastrear sus orígenes. No se trata simplemente de volver al pasado en busca de la verdad. Por el contrario, lo que la obra de Michel Foucault nos permite es percibir las contingencias, las arbitrariedades, las fragilidades y, tantas veces, la violencia que encierra un conjunto de presupuestos, de formas de decir, de ver y de pensar que utilizamos en el ámbito educativo. De forma más concreta, me centraré en el currículo de la educación artística básica en Portugal, para mostrar cómo se construye no a partir de una relación con las artes, sino a través de sucesivas capas históricas en las que las representaciones del niño, de los métodos y de los procesos de aprendizaje se alimentan de los lenguajes psicopedagógicos con el objetivo de gobernar quién debe ser el niño y también quién no debe ser ese niño. Thomas Popkewitz se refiere a estas alquimias curriculares como el proceso de traducción que transforma un determinado conocimiento en una materia curricular, según las retículas de racionalidad procedentes de la psicología. La educación artística no tiene que ver con las artes, sino que es una traducción de los principios psicológicos del niño a la escuela. Con este proceso alquímico vienen también las reglas de cómo se supone que los niños aprenden, qué etapas del desarrollo deben atravesar, cómo se debe dividir y proporcionar el conocimiento y cómo las artes reflejan la vida interior del niño. La producción de conocimiento psicopedagógico sobre el niño produciría imágenes sobre lo que el niño es y sobre lo que debería llegar a ser.El gobierno de la infancia encuentra sus líneas genealógicas en el proceso de gobierno del cuerpo social, en el que al poder de gobernar correspondería siempre un gesto minucioso de producción de conocimiento sobre los gobernados. Así, una mirada a los currículos desde este enfoque teórico nos permite analizar no solo la estructura de la escuela, sino también las gramáticas que la ponen en funcionamiento, y problematizar el niño ahistórico del currículo de educación artística como un proyecto mayor que tiene en el gobierno del niño (y simultáneamente del maestro, de los padres, de las familias, de la sociedad) su finalidad. Hoy, los lenguajes adquieren diferentes matices, las categorías se multiplican, pero la racionalidad presentada en los currículos de educación artística sigue siendo la misma.
Quem tem medo de Euterpe? Para uma genealogia dos currículos de música em Portugal nos séculos XIX e XX
Authors: Paz Ana Luísa Fernandes
Published: February 2022

A história do currículo tem trazido algumas contribuições no sentido de pensar a criança do futuro que o Estado, através das instituições escolares, deseja e rejeita. Neste sentido, seria importante instaurar uma discussão acerca de uma das disciplinas menos estudadas, a Educação Musical. Mas ao invés de articular esta criança em devir tendo em conta apenas a disciplina de Educação Musical contextualizando-a no currículo do ensino infantil, primário, secundário, a predo articular com um outro currículo, quase sempre considerado à parte, porque abrange também uma contraparte adulta. Refiro-me aos currículos vocacionais e profissionalizantes do Conservatório e da Escola Normal. Julgo, deste modo, ter aqui encontrado um enclave a partir do qual se poderá tentar compreender o poder de Euterpe e os modos como se criam tipos de pessoas com destinos sociais altamente diferenciados a partir de uma mesma tópica, neste caso, a música.Em Portugal, o Estado apodera-se do ensino vocacional de música em 1835. A partir da formação do Conservatório de Lisboa (1836), inaugura-se uma linha que persiste praticamente intocada até hoje. Paralelamente, foram sendo criadas outras formas de sensibilização para a arte musical, com diferentes tentativas de instalar a educação musical no ensino primário durante o século XIX. Finalmente, no final deste século, iniciaram-se as formações nas escolas normais, e, consequentemente, nas escolas primárias. No início do século XX, inicialmente apenas para raparigas, iniciou-se a experiência de educação musical no âmbito do ensino liceal. Ao contrário do que acontecia no Conservatório, não se ensinava a compreender ou produzir música, mas a cantar em coro. Durante o Estado Novo, esta política foi incentivada. Ainda em 1968, iniciou-se uma política de democratização que segue até aos dias de hoje e que passou por substituir o canto coral pela educação musical e por encontrar formas de alargar as formações vocacionais a mais e mais pessoas.Proponho assim uma análise crítico-genealógica que visa interrogar quem foi a criança de futuro desejada e rejeitada e qual o medo que se instalou nas sucessivas reformas curriculares que abrangeram a música.
Políticas contemporâneas para o ensino médio brasileiro: entre tradições disciplinares e o novo gerencialismo
Authors: Santos André Vitor Fernandes dos
Published: February 2022

Este texto aborda as políticas curriculares contemporâneas como superfícies discursivas que trazem enunciados resultantes da articulação entre diferentes formações discursivas, o que nos permite vislumbrar aspectos constitutivos do processo de significação do campo da educação. Neste caso, estamos especialmente interessados ??em produzir uma reflexão no campo da História do Currículo que pode nos ajudar a entender o processo de elaboração da política curricular e a relação entre estabilidade e mudança quando se trata de pensar o que está (ou não) no Currículo em diferentes momentos históricos. O argumento é construído com foco nas políticas curriculares contemporâneas produzidas no período que sucede o processo de re-democratização do Brasil, mais especificamente na segunda metade da década de 1990, no final dos anos 2000 e no período entre 2014 e 2018. Esses são momentos em que podemos notar a proliferação de políticas que tiveram como intencionalidade atribuir certos significados ao nível do ensino médio, que no Brasil tem sido alvo dos formuladores das políticas desde a década de 1930. O que deve ser destacado é como as estratégias discursivas das comunidades disciplinares são articuladas para continuar o projeto de construção de um sistema que historicamente garantiu o status, os recursos e o território das disciplinas escolares. Desta forma, noções como competências, habilidades, direitos e expectativas de aprendizagem, e os níveis de proficiência das avaliações em larga escala, são colocados em diálogo com noções ligadas às disciplinas escolares, em um movimento em que o que está em disputa é basicamente o lugar que essas ideias ocupam no currículo escolar. Desta forma, colocamos a atenção nas estratégias discursivas que permitem que alguns enunciados sejam atualizados de acordo com as práticas discursivas em andamento, permitindo seu reaparecimento e promovendo a incorporação de diretrizes identificadas com as ideias do neoliberalismo, incluindo, por exemplo, o gerencialismo.
A 100 años de la ley de instrucción primaria obligatoria: antecedentes, desarrollo y proyecciones
Authors: Caiceo Escudero Jaime
Published: February 2022

A propósito de los 100 años de la promulgación de la Ley de Instrucción Primaria obligatoria en Chile, se persigue describir los antecedentes que condujeron a la dictación de esta ley, explicar el desarrollo legislativo de la misma y entender las proyecciones que ha tenido. Para realizar este estudio se recurrirá a un paradigma cualitativo y a la metodología histórica, revisando fuentes primarias (documentos originales) y secundarias (bibliografía existente sobre el tema). Se encontró que hubo mucha resistencia de los sectores conservadores para aprobar esta importante la ley, pero, finalmente, los argumentos de los grupos liberales primaron durante los 20 años de discusión en el Congreso y en los grupos interesados en el tema. El resultado de la promulgación de esta ley ha significado que Chile tenga cobertura prácticamente completa en el sistema escolar y tenga hoy una escolaridad promedio sobre los 10 años similar a España y Portugal.
Creaciones prodigiosas: disciplinas escolares e historia del currículum
Authors: Cuesta Raimundo
Published: February 2022

El currículum y las disciplinas escolares no tienen esencia, tienen historia. Su evolución semántica a lo largo del tiempo muestra que el reciente giro metafórico y contextual de la historia de los conceptos ayuda a comprender mejor, evitando el anacronismo, la complejidad y la polisemia de ambos términos. Currículum y disciplina son vocablos que, junto a «civilización», «cultura» y «educación », entre otros, constituyen parte del orden conceptual de la razón moderna. Desde hace décadas, la historiografía del currículum y de las disciplinas escolares, empujadas por tradiciones académicas y culturales diferentes en el mundo anglosajón y en el europeo meridional, han perfeccionado notablemente la explicación de las peculiaridades del conocimiento escolar. A caballo entre ambas tradiciones, la idea de código disciplinar, acuñada por el autor de este artículo, vino a ser una palanca heurística para lograr una comprensión histórica y crítica del currículum y de esas criaturas prodigiosas de la cultura escolar que denominamos asignaturas.
La historia del currículum en España: la ruralidad dual de un subcampo todavía en construcción
Authors: Romero Morante Jesús , Estellés Frade Marta
Published: February 2022

La historiografía del currículum y de las asignaturas escolares no tiene una larga tradición en España. Es más, todavía en la actualidad constituye un foco de interés comparativamente marginal dentro de la tribu académica de los historiadores de la educación, hasta el punto de que algunos de sus frutos más substanciosos se han cosechado fuera de ese ámbito. Sin embargo, no es el propósito de este artículo hacer un estado de la cuestión al uso, sino revisar críticamente las presuposicionesy los sobrentendidos implícitos acerca de la naturaleza y la dinámica del currículum que subyacen a las investigaciones emprendidas en este país en las últimas décadas.
Puntos clave en la cirugía de la glándula tiroides

Published: February 2022

Nuestro objetivo es lograr una descripción de los puntos quirúrgicos clave en la cirugía tiroidea y paratiroidea que ayude al cirujano a conseguir intervenciones seguras. Una cirugía no se disfruta si el cirujano no tiene pleno conocimiento de la anatomía aplicada del área a operar. En la cirugía de tiroides tener un conocimiento básico de la embriología de ambas glándulas aporta una gran ayuda a la hora de la disección y tratamiento quirúrgico. La posición del paciente y el equipo de instrumentos que debemos tener antes de iniciar el acto quirúrgico es fundamental. Desanclar la glándula de sus sistemas de sujeción: fascia, ligamentos y pedículos vasculares, de manera eficaz y por el plano correcto de disección es un aspecto clave en el buen desarrollo de la cirugía. La identificación  del tubérculo de Zuckerkandl nos señala la encrucijada entre arteria tiroidea inferior, glándula paratiroides superior y nervio recurrente. Consideramos necesaria la neuromonitorizacion del nervio recurrente, porque salvo en la excepción de un nervio recurrente no recurrente conocido, no se puede determinar a priori la complejidad en la localización de este nervio. Los instrumentos hemostáticos de los que disponemos en la actualidad obligan a su uso rutinario. El minucioso conocimiento de la cirugía de tiroides facilita al cirujano la realización de cualquier tratamiento quirúrgico de las glándulas paratiroides.
Using the Set Equality Method (SEM) to Determine the Validity of Categorical Syllogisms
Authors: Skliar Osvaldo , Gapper Sherry , Monge Ricardo E.
Published: February 2022

A description is provided of a method – the Set Equality Method (SEM) – to determine the validity, or lack of validity, of each categorical syllogism. A justification is given for the presentation of a new method to solve a problem which has already been solved using different approaches. First, the SEM assigns an equality of certain sets (or two of those equalities in specific cases as will be indicated) to each of the categorical propositions composing each syllogism considered – that is, to each of the two premises and to the conclusion. Each syllogism considered is valid if and only if a) it is possible to select one of those equalities corresponding to one of the premises such that one of its members is a certain set and the other of those equalities corresponding to the other premise such that one of its members is a subset of the set mentioned, and b) it is possible to deduce an equality corresponding to the conclusion of the two equalities corresponding to the premises. In some cases, as will be specified, it is possible to provide a second test for the validity of a syllogism whose validity was already proven, thus providing information about the logical form of categorical syllogisms.

Binary Solvent Pretreatment, Adsorption and Definite Characterization of the Used Engine Lubricants.
Authors: Olabode olabimtan , Benjamin Williams , Mohammed Rihanat , Gero Mohammed
Published: February 2022

Engine lubricants are viscous petrochemical products that are essentially formulated for the lubrication of moving parts in an engine. With the declining production of fossil oil reserves, the need to recycle used lubricating oils arises more than ever.

Coincidentally, engine lubricant loses its properties and cannot be used as required. Hence, this paper comparatively studies the treatment effects of the three months used lubricating oil (5W-30) with a binary solvent mixture [(methanol (70%)/n-hexane (30%)] at a 5:1 solvent to oil mixing ratio with potassium hydroxide as a coagulant at 120
oC and solvent expulsion for 30 minutes. The last stage of clarification was achieved with the physical adsorption of analytical grade activated charcoal at 150
oC for 1 hour and centrifugation at 300 rpm for 1 hour, resulting in a reddish-transparent colored base oil. Eight selected physicochemical parameters (pH, specific gravity, dynamic viscosity, ash content, flash point, pour point, percentage water content, and metallic compositions) were evaluated with the fresh engine oil (FEO), three-month old engine oil (UEO), and the treated engine oil (TEO).

The results obtained at 95% confidence levels with respect to the entire parameters were significantly justified with the treatment methods that generated 95.7% recovery. The approach has been demonstrated to be technically feasible, sustainable and ecologically friendly.
"If in London have itchy balls, everybody scratches it here".
Authors: Pavez Fabián
Published: February 2022

The diversity of manifestations within the punk scene has been previously noted in the academic literature. Punk diversity rests as much on the social and material conditions of musical production as on the peculiarities of the dominant culture and the socio-political situation of each region at a specific historical moment.

Some noticeable differences between the contexts of British and Spanish punk were the absence of differentiated youth culture in Spain, the tension between expectation, disillusionment and possibilism of the Spanish democratic transition, and the immaturity of the media and the political structures created. To a greater or lesser extent, these contexts were shared by their Latin American counterparts.

With these elements in mind, this article aims to outline the place that punk music and its derivatives had within the processes of democratic transition, drawing a comparison between Spain and Chile, given the historical and political confluences between the two countries. Thus, its developments, the generational rejection dimension, and the attempts at political appropriation to which punk and its derivatives were subjected, besides some elements that might distinguish Chilean and Spanish punk from their Anglo-Saxon counterparts, are discussed.
Level of Perceived Satisfaction with Acute Pain Management among the Patients with Fracture of Long Bones in Teaching Hospital Jaffna
Authors: Kanagalingam Heerthikan , Murukananthan Thivera
Published: February 2022

Introduction

Pain is an unpleasant sensation that has to be managed properly. In fracture patients, effective pain management plays a major role in their treatment. Although much efforts are put in by the doctors, there is uncertainty about the level of satisfaction with acute pain management. We hope to assess the level of satisfaction with acute pain management among fracture patients and the results could be used to improve the level of satisfaction in the future.

Objectives

To assess the level of perceived satisfaction with acute pain management and associated socio-demographic and health related factors among patients with long bones fractures in surgical casualty ward of Teaching Hospital Jaffna.

Methodology

An institutional based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at ward 24, Teaching Hospital, Jaffna. This study was conducted from October 2020 to March 2021. Data was collected through interviewer-administrated questionnaires from patients above 12 years of age with fractures of long bones who had undergone management within 12 hours of admission and analyzed with SPSS 21 (T-test and ANOVA). Femoral neck, intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and femoral head fractures were grouped as hip fractures for ease of analysis. Perceived satisfaction score was calculated according to the participant’s answers to 11 Likert scale questions which were selected from The Pain Treatment Satisfaction Scale (PTSS), each scoring from 0 to 3. (Overall score 0 to 33) Numerical pain scale was used to assess the level of pain.

Results

Among 120 study participants, 70 were male and 50 were female. The median pain score immediately after fracture was 8, one hour after analgesic administration was 5 and after non-medical intervention following analgesic administration was 4. There was a significant association with the patient’s satisfaction and time taken for initial administration of analgesics (p=0.46), site of fracture (clavicle p=0.005) and type of non-medical intervention (pop cast p=0.049, intervention p=0.011). There were no significant association between patient’s perceived satisfaction with gender (p=0.218), age category (p=0.935), educational level (p=0.130), marital status (p=0.095), past medical history (p=0.957) and past surgical history (p=0.227).

Conclusion

Majority of the patients were satisfied with the acute pain management. Early onset analgesics administration & non-medical interventions and lower level of patient’s expectation regarding pain management in our community were the reasons for higher overall satisfaction.
Recent research

advances in disease models of Hutchinson-Gilford

Progeria Syndrome
Authors: Yang Junzheng
Published: February 2022

Aging can cause many diseases, and aging research may help to elucidate the pathogenesis and identify suitable therapies for attenuating aging or alleviating aging-related diseases such as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). HGPS is a sporadic genetic premature disorder caused by a de novo point mutation in the
LMNA gene encoding the intermediate filament proteins lamins A and C, typically resulting in a short lifespan (average age of 14.6 years). To date, there has been no effective therapy to cure it. In the past few decades, many scientists have focused on the development of disease models (such as iPSC, adult stem cell, and animal models) to uncover the underlying pathogenesis and find an effective therapy for HGPS. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the disease models of HGPS, compare their advantages and disadvantages, and discuss the perspectives and challenges for these models, which may provide some clues for HGPS therapy.
Protection and Monitoring of DESO
Authors: Jalilzadeh Hamidi Reza
Published: February 2022

This chapter first accurately reviews the basics of smart microgrid protection since the definitions vary from a reference to another. Then it focuses on the fault responses of Inverter-Based Resources (IBR’s) as those are emerging technologies that will be playing the great role of interfacing primary energy resources and the grid. In particular, for materialization of net-zero Carbon emission in electricity generation, the use of IBR’s is indispensable. However, the non-universal and software-defined IBR fault responses make conventional relays such as overcurrent, directional, and distance relays inapplicable in heavily IBR-based grids. Therefore, the discrepancy between conventional and IBR fault responses is elaborated and possible solutions to the looming protection issues are discussed. The shortcomings and merits of each solution are also discussed.

Introduction: Depression is one of the most prevalent public health problems worldwide and remains an underdiagnosed disease, especially in developing countries. The availability of instruments that permit detecting this problem is essential for reducing the burden of this disorder. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (factor structure, sex invariance, internal consistency, and convergent and divergent validity) of the Spanish version of the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9). Method: A sample of 366 public hospital users in Ecuador was recruited and accordingly completed a survey that included sociodemographic data, the PHQ-9, and other standards of measurement such as the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), and the Quality-of-Life Index (QLI). Results: The unidimensional factor model of the PHQ-9 provided the best fit for the data. The PHQ-9 assesses depressive symptoms equivalently in both sexes, and presents high internal consistency, as well as good convergent and divergent validity with the other constructs. Conclusion: The application of the PHQ-9 could aid in the screening of patients with depressive symptomatology in the Ecuadorian public health system (EPHS).
Compartimentação paisagística multiescalar da bacia hidrográfica do rio Uberabinha (Minas Gerais, Brasil) por meio da perspectiva geossistêmica
Authors: Rosa Rafael Mendes , Ferreira Vanderlei de Oliveira
Published: February 2022

O uso inadequado dos recursos naturais em contextos espacialmente diferenciados sob vários aspectos nas bacias hidrográficas conduz à degradação ambiental e aos problemas sociais. Nesse sentido, as ações de gestão são fundamentais e devem partir do princípio de que as unidades hidrográficas são internamente heterogêneas, complexas e multifacetadas, configurando-se como um conjunto de situações variadas. Este artigo relata resultados de pesquisa dedicada à aplicação de um procedimento metodológico de compartimentação paisagística multiescalar baseado na adaptação das contribuições de dois autores clássicos: Georges Bertrand e Jean Tricart. A bacia do rio Uberabinha, localizada no estado de Minas Gerais, adotada como área de estudo, foi caracterizada do ponto de vista fisiográfico e subdividida ordenadamente em dois geossistemas, quatro geocomplexos e oito geofácies. Unidades menores, denominadas geótopos, também foram identificadas enquanto exemplos. A partir dos mapas de componentes fisiográficos e de cobertura e uso da terra distribuídos em intervalos temporais situados entre 1985 e 2020 foi possível categorizar a vulnerabilidade dos terrenos quanto à perda de solos. Por fim, perfis geoecológicos foram elaborados para organização de uma síntese da realidade terrestre da bacia numa perspectiva vertical (geohorizontes). Diante do exposto, o trabalho contribuiu como uma análise da bacia do rio Uberabinha baseada na perspectiva geossistêmica, visto que sua exploração tem se mostrado ecologicamente predatória, assim como na maioria das bacias hidrográficas brasileiras.
Handwriting Arabic Character Recognition Using Features Combination
Authors: Qomariyah Fitriyatul , Utaminingrum Fitri , Muchlas Muchlas
Published: February 2022

The recognition of Arabic handwriting is a challenging problem to solve. The similarity among the fonts appears as a problem in the recognition processing. Various styles, shapes, and sizes which are personal and different across individuals make the Arabic handwriting recognition process even harder. In this paper, the data used are Arabic handwritten images with 101 sample characters, each of which is written by 15 different handwritten characters (total sample 101x15) with the same size (81x81 pixels). A well-chosen feature is crucial for making good recognition results. In this study, the researcher proposed a method of new features extraction to recognize Arabic handwriting. The features extraction was done by grabbing the value of similar features among various types of font writing, to be used as a new feature of the font. Then, City Block was used to compare the obtained feature to other features of the sample for classification. The Average accuracy value obtained in this study was up to 82%.

Published: February 2022

Objetivo: Este estudio descriptivo-correlacional analizó la relación entre la comunicación familiar y el estrés percibido durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en Colombia.Método: Participaron 800 colombianos entre 18 y 91 años (Media = 33,91; Desviación estándar = 15,75) que respondieron, con previo consentimiento informado, a tres instrumentos confiables: Escala de Comunicación Padre e Hijo (PACS), Escala de Estrés Percibido (EEP-10) y la Escala de Preocupaciones Estresantes en la Pandemia de COVID-19 (EPEP).Resultados: Los hallazgos revelan altos niveles de estrés negativo al principio y al final de la cuarentena debido a preocupaciones económicas, laborales, familiares y de salud. La comunicación familiar demostró ser un predictor significativo del estrés. En ese sentido, encontramos específicamente que la comunicación abierta entre los miembros del hogar se asocia con una reducción del estrés negativo (r = -,103***). En cambio, cuando la comunicación en casa está mediada por ofensas frecuentes (? = ,719***) y se combina con preocupaciones de salud (? = ,723***) y convivencia familiar (? = ,657***), aumenta predictivamente el estrés negativo alto hasta en un 37,9% de la varianza total.Conclusión: Estos hallazgos instan a fortalecer el diálogo familiar y las estrategias de afrontamiento colectivo para disminuir el estrés y aprender a manejar mejor las preocupaciones en este contexto pandémico rodeado de miedos e incertidumbres. Al final brindamos recomendaciones desde el campo de la psicología y la comunicación en salud para enfocar las acciones preventivas contra el estrés alto o crónico.

Several factors that influence the achievement of the sustainability of an MSS management system are identified. This study aims to determine what aspects of sustainability affect a system's municipal wastewater sludge management to run appropriately using conventional technology. The method used in this research is a comparative approach. The study compares urban domestic wastewater focusing on fecal sludge management (FSM) in Egypt and Indonesia. It is known that the sustainability factor of wastewater management systems includes economic, social, environmental, and technological factors. In Indonesia, institutional, which is also included in the social aspect, becomes the most significant limitation to implement the appropriate FSM. The best technology chosen for Egypt is anaerobic digestion, while in Indonesia, the right technology chosen is sludge drying bed (SDB) and also the combination of solid separation chamber (SSC) with draining area (DA). From an economic point of view, the 2 sub-factors that influence the sustainability system are investment cost and operation and maintenance cost. Regarding socio-culture, the awareness and participation of the community and the private sector needs to be increased to achieve the sustainability of sludge management services in both countries

Published: February 2022

One of the major challenges that the world is facing currently is the inadequate amount of food production with high nutrient content in accordance with the increase in population size. Moreover, availability of cultivable area with fertile soil is reducing day by day owing to ever increasing population. Further, water scarcity and expensive agricultural equipment have led to the use of agrochemicals and untreated water. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers to increase crop yield have resulted in deleterious effects on the environment, health and economy, which can be overcome to a great extent by employing biological fertilizers. There are various microbes that grows in the rhizospheric region of plants known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR act by direct and indirect modes to stimulate plant growth and improve stress reduction in plants. PGPRs are used for potential agriculture practices having a wide range of benefits like increase in nutrients content, healthy growth of crops, production of phytohormones, prevention from heavy metal stress conditions and increase in crop yield. This review reports recent studies in crop improvement strategies using PGPR and describes the mechanisms involved. The potential mechanisms of PGPR and its allies pave the way for sustainable development towards agriculture and commercialization of potential bacteria.

Strength deficit in elite young rugby players: Differences between playing positions and associations with sprint and jump performance. J Strength Cond Res 36(4): 920–926, 2022—The aims of this study were twofold: to compare the strength-related performance between young forwards and backs rugby players and to examine the correlations between strength deficit (SDef), strength parameters, and sprint and jump performance. Fifty-seven male rugby players (mean ± SD: age, 17.4 ± 1.3 years) performed anthropometric and body composition assessments, vertical jumps, 30-m sprint, and squat (SQ) and bench press (BP) 1-repetition maximum tests (1RM SQ and BP). The differences in the tested variables between positions were analyzed through an independent t-test. A Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationships among the variables. Significant differences were observed for anthropometric and body composition measures and jump and sprint performance between positions (p < 0.05; effect size [ES]: 0.60–1.34), except for 5-m velocity (p = 0.080; ES: 0.57). Backs demonstrated higher relative 1RM than forwards in both exercises (p = 0.009 and p = 0.008; ES = 0.88 and 0.91, for SQ and BP, respectively). In addition, backs demonstrated lower SDef from 70 to 90% 1RM (p < 0.048) but small-to-moderate nonsignificant lower SDef against lighter loads compared with forwards (50–60% 1RM). Overall, SDef across all loads (r: −0.378 to −0.529) and 1RM SQ (r: 0.504 to −0.590) were significantly related to sprint performance. Therefore, young rugby players who present lower magnitudes of SDef and superior 1RM SQ performance tend to be faster in linear sprints.

The aim of the article is to describe the relationship between rural space, emotions and language in the Polish prose between 2010 and 2021. The starting point is the question about what scenarios for crossing the culture of shame are proposed by the literature of peripheral spaces. The article concentrates on the language analysis of the novel and the functions of the gwara (patois), regional dialects, profanity and expressive speech genres. In this way, it draws attention to the flows from the vernacular, home language to the public language, and thus counteracts the marginalization of specific linguistic communities. Literature and its language are treated as a tool for dismantling social distinctions.

The peculiarities of magnetic field propagation in an anisotropic magnetic medium are considered and the dependences of the longitudinal and transverse components of the magnetic field on the geometric dimensions are established. For the first time, the possibility of concentrating the magnitude of the magnetic field has been shown and its value has been optimized. A model of an anisotropic magnetic concentrator is developed, and a method for creating artificial anisotropic classical materials is proposed. The application of this method of the magnetic field concentration makes it possible to increase the sensitivity of photo-, thermomagnetic detectors and the efficiency of galvano-thermomagnetic coolers, as well as electromagnetic and magnetoelectric measuring systems.

Oparzenia elektryczne stanowią najczęstszą przyczynę amputacji kończyn w oddziałach oparzeniowych. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono przypadek 55-letniego pacjenta, który w wyniku porażenia prądem wysokiego napięcia doznał oparzeń kończyn górnych III/IV stopnia ok. 5% całkowitej powierzchni ciała, obejmujących rękę i 1/3 dystalnej części przedramienia lewego oraz 1/3 dystalnej części przedramienia prawego od strony łokciowej. W efekcie leczenia w innym ośrodku oparzeniowym doznał amputacji kończyny górnej lewej na wysokości 1/3 dystalnej przedramienia. Po 2,5-miesięcznej terapii w innym ośrodku został przyjęty do Małopolskiego Centrum Oparzeniowo-Plastycznego. Początkowo dokonano oczyszczenia rany z martwicy i biofilmu, zastosowano opatrunki antyseptyczne i terapię podciśnieniową. Uzyskano poprawę w zakresie tworzenia prawidłowej ziarniny. W kolejnym etapie wykonano rekonstrukcję tkanek miękkich przedramienia prawego wolnym płatem mięśniowym z mięśnia najszerszego grzbietu z zespoleniem mikrochirurgicznym tętniczym i żylnym do naczyń przedramienia, uzyskując w 7-dniowej obserwacji zamknięcie odsłoniętych struktur kostnych oraz prawidłowe gojenie ran. Wykorzystanie wolnego płata mięśniowego z mięśnia najszerszego grzbietu z zastosowaniem technik mikrochirurgicznych stanowi skuteczną metodę zamknięcia masywnych ubytków tkanek miękkich po urazach spowodowanych prądem elektrycznym.

Authors: Kozhushko A.A. , Skalozub V.V.
Published: February 2022

The electroweak phase transition in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model is investigated. The Gibbs potential at a finite temperature is computed with regard for the one-loop plus ring diagram contributions. The strong first-order phase transition satisfying Sakharov's baryogenesis conditions is determined for the values of scalar field masses allowed by experimental data. The relation between the model parameters supplying the phase transition to be of the first order is derived. It is shown that a sequence of phase transitions is also possible. A comparison with results of other authors is done.

Проведено дослідження впливу ультрафіолетового та γ-опромінення на властивості алмазоподібних вуглецевих плівок з різним вмістом азоту. Опромінення ультрафіолетовим світлом приводить до суттєвого збільшення оптичної ширини забороненої зони внаслідок структурних змін зв'язків вуглецю, водню та азоту, а також завдяки частковій дифузії у плівку кисню повітря, що активується під час опромінення. Під час γ-опромінення відбувається зменшення оптичної ширинизабороненої зони, проте плівки з більшим вмістом азоту показують більшу стійкість до радіаційного впливу. При цьому структурні зміни стосуються переважно зв'язків азоту, з малою перебудовою зв'язків вуглецю.

Для циліндричних квантових дротів (КД) кристалів гексагональної симетрії ZnO та GaN визначено залежності енергії поляризаційних фононів від хвильового вектора, а також енергії та ефективну масу полярона від радіуса КД (R). Показано, що основний внесок у основні параметри полярона (енергію та ефективну масу) задають квазіпоздовжні та інтерфейсні фононні моди. Встановлено, що в області R > 15 нм внесок квазіпоздовжніх фононів є основним. Проведено порівняння енергії полярона КД для кристалів кубічної та гексагональної симетрії.

Published: February 2022

Запропоновано новий механізм утворення фази, який досліджується експериментально і теоретично на прикладі квазірівноважної стаціонарної конденсації в іонно-плазмовому розпилювачі. Отримано конденсати міді, які показують, що під час напилення реалізується режим самозбирання, результатом якого є характерна сітчаста структура. Отримана при цьому фрактальна картина розподілу зародків конденсату на поверхні підкладки нагадує картину, що спостерігаєтьсяу процесі утворення фази, обмеженому дифузією. Показано, що зародки конденсату формують статистичний ансамбль ієрархічно супідпорядкованих об'єктів, розподілених в ультраметричному просторі. Для опису цього ансамблю знайдено рівняння Ланжевена і Фоккера–Планка, які дозволяють визначити стаціонарний розподіл значень термодинамічного ефекту конденсації і відповідний потік імовірності. Отримано часові залежності імовірності формування розгалуженої структури конденсату, використання яких дозволяє пояснити формування сітчастої структури.
