Authors: Rodrigues Aurea Gabriela Pereira , Sousa Gabriel Gomes Vilar de , Jesus Werena Lisboa de , Moraes Suellen Alessandra Soares de
Published: December 2021

A tendinopatia do calcâneo (TC) é uma condição dolorosa e disfuncional, recorrente em indivíduos ativos e sedentários. A etiologia da TC é incerta, e tratamentos clínicos nem sempre são eficazes, o que merece atenção da comunidade científica quanto ao emprego racional de recursos terapêuticos com melhor evidência científica. A presente revisão objetivou descrever as principais abordagens fisioterapêuticas aplicadas no tratamento da TC. A busca dos artigos foi realizada entre janeiro e outubro de 2018 nas bases de dados PubMed, PEDro, Bireme e Cochrane Controlled Trial Register, limitada aos últimos cinco anos. Foram consideradas para esta revisão os artigos disponíveis na íntegra, em inglês, com Qualis de A1 até B2 na área de avaliação 21, e que utilizassem a fisioterapia como intervenção terapêutica. Foram excluídos artigos de metanálise e aqueles associados a mais de um tipo de intervenção sem os devidos controles. De 4.198 artigos, apenas 18 foram elegíveis, sendo 12 estudos experimentais em modelo animal e 6 ensaios clínicos. Os estudos experimentais mostraram vantagens na redução da dor e inflamação ao usar a fotobiomodulação como terapia única, bem como associado a outras terapias. Já a estimulação mecânica e a mobilização tecidual foram vantajosas quanto às propriedades biomecânicas e histológicas dos tendões lesionados. Nos ensaios clínicos, foram observadas melhorias nos escores de dor, mobilidade, função e força muscular em todas as abordagens terapêuticas, embora o exercício terapêutico excêntrico seja a abordagem mais recorrente. As abordagens fisioterapêuticas para o tratamento da TC com melhor evidência científica compreendem a fotobiomodulação e a estimulação mecânica por mobilizações e exercícios, sendo fortemente recomendadas para a prática clínica.

Published: December 2021

Introdução: as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) para os Cursos de Fisioterapia orientam que os fisioterapeutas formados sejam capazes de atuar em todos os níveis de atenção à saúde. Objetivo: avaliar a inserção profissional do egresso de Fisioterapia na Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS). Método: a pesquisa foi do tipo observacional descritiva de corte transversal com dados da Comissão Própria de Avaliação do Curso de Fisioterapia (CPAC) da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes), coletados a partir de um instrumento de pesquisa interna. O instrumento com as perguntas foi enviado por meio de um link ao e-mail dos 88 egressos. Foram coletados dados pessoais (nome, endereço, formas de contato); da graduação; e do mercado profissional. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética. Resultados: dos questionários enviados, 39 (40,9%) foram respondidos. Quanto a caracterização do perfil dos egressos formados na Ufes, conclui-se que a maior parte era do sexo feminino, solteira e com idade de 25 ± 1 ano. Os graduados consideravam que as disciplinas profissionalizantes foram capazes de prepará-los para o trabalho. Os empregos adquiridos pelos egressos eram mais frequentemente no setor privado em detrimento do setor Público. Grande parte dos egressos disse que não atuou nem atua profissionalmente na ABS. Conclusões: embora a formação dos fisioterapeutas da Ufes esteja norteada pelos princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), não foi possível observar a inserção dos egressos no mercado de trabalho no âmbito da ABS.

Introdução: os distúrbios do sono estão associados a graves consequências para a saúde, tais como obesidade e mortalidade precoce. Alguns biomarcadores têm exibido sensibilidade para diagnóstico de apneias obstrutivas do sono. Objetivo: verificar a relação do índice de qualidade do sono com biomarcadores de risco cardiometabólico em adultos com obesidade. Métodos: conduziu-se um estudo transversal em adultos com IMC ≥ 30 kg/m². A qualidade do sono foi obtida pelo Índice de Pittsburgh, cujas pontuações mais altas refletem piores resultados. Os biomarcadores coletados mediante punção venosa foram creatinofosfoquinase (CK), interleucina 6 (IL-6), proteína C-reativa (PCr), glicemia em jejum. Empregaram-se regressões lineares bruta e ajustada considerando o nível de significância de 95%. Resultados: entre os 71 adultos com obesidade, 43 eram mulheres (x 34,8±7,0 anos), com escore global de qualidade de sono de 9,6±2,7 pontos. O índice global de qualidade do sono foi inversamente associado à creatinofosfoquinase (β= -0,008) e diretamente à glicemia em jejum (β= 0,049). Conclusões: conclui-se que, em adultos com obesidade, a redução de creatinofosfoquinase e o aumento da glicemia foram associados à piora da qualidade do sono.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between smartphone usage time and postural alignment in teenage university students and the associated factors. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study with 133 teenage university students (18-19 years old) between April and November 2018 in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Questionnaires were used to collect information on socioeconomic status, health conditions, smartphone usage time and level of physical activity. The alignment of the cervical region was assessed using photogrammetry in anatomical position and while texting on the smartphone. Horizontal alignment of the head (HAH), horizontal alignment of the acromion (HAA) and vertical alignment of the head (VAH) were measured. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to check for factors associated with smartphone usage time (>6 hours a day). Results: There were higher rates of girls (66.9%; n=89), people in the lower social class (71.4%; n=95), frequent drinkers (66.9%; n=89), people who complained of headache (83.5%; n=111) and people who used smartphones for more than 6 hours a day (72.9%; n=97). The multivariate analysis showed an association of smartphone usage time (>6 hours a day) with cervical anteriorization, estimated by measuring the VAH (OR=1.053; p=0.007 – left side), female gender (OR=2.729; p=0.046), frequent drinking (OR=2.636; p=0.038) and complaint of headache (OR=5.617; p=0.002). Conclusions: There was a high percentage of adolescents who excessively used smartphones for more than 6 hours a day. Prolonged smartphone use was associated with female gender, alcohol consumption, headache and changes in cervical alignment.

Authors: De Oliveira Thaísa Paiva , Lima Dione Marçal , Naghettini Alessandra Vitorino
Published: December 2021

O objetivo do presente estudo foi explorar áreas com aspectos negativos e positivos no ambiente educacional pela percepção dos alunos de graduação em fisioterapia e investigar sua relação com as características demográficas dos entrevistados. Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico que utilizou o instrumento DREEM (Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure), na perspectiva de cinco dimensões: percepção da aprendizagem, percepção quanto aos docentes, autopercepção do acadêmico, percepção da atmosfera educacional, percepção das relações sociais. Foram avaliados os 50 itens do questionário, interpretados pelo escore, cujo valor máximo geral foi 200 e sua relação com características sociodemográficas. Todos os 232 estudantes matriculados na instituição foram convidados a participar da pesquisa; destes, 179 discentes de fisioterapia (77,15%) nos diferentes períodos do curso em 2016/1 responderam ao questionário. A média do escore global da percepção discente sobre o ambiente educacional foi de 126/200. Na avaliação das dimensões, observaram-se os seguintes escores: percepção da aprendizagem, 30/48; percepção quanto aos docentes 28/44; autopercepção do acadêmico, 21/32; percepção da atmosfera educacional, 30/48; e percepção das relações sociais, 17/28. Baseado no escore DREEM Global, o estudo revelou um ambiente educacional mais ‘positivo’ que ‘negativo’. Questões individuais indicaram melhor pontuação em itens como: “ter amigos na faculdade” e “confiança na aprovação das disciplinas”. Entretanto, foi destacada pontuação negativa nos itens que se referem a “ausência de apoio a estudantes estressados” e “ênfase na memorização de conteúdos”. O instrumento DREEM se mostrou confiável para avaliação do ambiente educacional no curso de fisioterapia, definindo áreas que apresentam maior necessidade de intervenção.

Objetivo: verificar a correlação entre distúrbios de sono e alteração do posicionamento da cabeça e do ombro em crianças escolares. Metodologia: trata-se de estudo transversal, com amostra de conveniência de 40 crianças entre 8 e 12 anos. Foram coletados dados pessoais e antropométricos. A avaliação postural foi por meio da Fotogrametria, com variáveis relacionadas com o posicionamento da cabeça e do ombro nas vistas frontal e sagital. A qualidade do sono foi avaliada pelo Questionário de Hábitos de Sono das Crianças (CSHQ-PT). O teste Shapiro-Wilk foi utilizado para verificar a normalidade dos dados. Para análise de correlação, foi utilizado o Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman. A significância foi estabelecida em 5%. Resultados: as alterações encontradas foram referentes ao alinhamento horizontal dos acrômios, indicando inclinação à esquerda no plano frontal. Na vista sagital, os resultados evidenciaram a protusão dos ombros bilateralmente. A correlação ocorreu entre a ansiedade associada ao sono e alinhamento horizontal da cabeça (vista lateral direita), e entre a resistência em ir para a cama e o ângulo dos ombros. Quanto maior a pontuação da ansiedade, menor o grau de alinhamento horizontal da cabeça (anteriorização); e quanto maior a resistência de ir para a cama, maior o ângulo dos ombros (protusão). Conclusão: Na prática clínica, deve-se ter atenção especial à qualidade do sono e à evolução postural na infância.

Published: December 2021

Este estudo analisou a produção científica sobre o processo de formação do fisioterapeuta em cenários de aprendizagem da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), identificando práticas de ensino realizadas nesses espaços. Tratou-se de revisão integrativa de literatura na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando três combinações de descritores controlados, acrescidos do operador boleano ‘AND’: Fisioterapia/Ensino/APS; Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais/Ensino Superior/Sistema Único de Saúde; Fisioterapia/Estágios/APS. Os critérios de inclusão contemplaram artigos de pesquisa sobre a temática, publicados de 2002 a 2019, em português, inglês ou espanhol. Foram analisados 12 artigos. Práticas de ensino na APS foram observadas nos estágios curriculares do último ano do curso, sendo pouco frequentes nas etapas iniciais da graduação. A APS também foi identificada como cenário de formação em disciplinas curriculares obrigatórias envolvendo saúde da comunidade/saúde coletiva e no Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde. Destacaram-se, como atividades desenvolvidas por estudantes de Fisioterapia na APS, atenção domiciliar/visitas às famílias, atividades no território com estudantes de diferentes cursos da saúde e realização de grupos de educação/promoção da saúde. Na perspectiva da interprofissionalidade, a APS mostrou-se um espaço integrador de ações entre as diferentes profissões da saúde. Barreiras para a inserção da APS nos currículos da Fisioterapia associaram-se a fragilidades na formação de docentes e preceptores para atuarem na APS, aspectos relativos à dinâmica das universidades (horários, recessos escolares, alta rotatividade de estudantes) e dos serviços (estrutura física frágil, rotatividade e baixo número de profissionais capacitados para atuação na APS, desconhecimento de usuários/gestores/demais profissionais da saúde em relação à atuação do fisioterapeuta na APS e ausência do fisioterapeuta de referência). Pesquisas ampliando essa estratégia de busca envolvendo mais bases de dados e descritores são recomendadas. Práticas curriculares pautadas na rede de cuidado em saúde que contemplem a APS devem ser estimuladas na formação do fisioterapeuta.

Distúrbios do ciclo sono/vigília são considerados um problema de saúde pública e repercutem diretamente na qualidade de vida. Assim, objetivou-se correlacionar a qualidade de vida e a sonolência diurna em estudantes de fisioterapia. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e analítico do tipo transversal. Participaram do estudo 123 discentes do curso de Fisioterapia, sendo selecionados por meio da amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Para a análise da qualidade de vida, foi utilizado o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-bref), e para sonolência diurna, a escala de sonolência de Epworth. Utilizaram-se os testes análise de variância (Anova um critério) com post hoc de Teste t, o teste t Student e a regressão linear múltipla, com nível alfa de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). Observou-se que o quarto ano do curso apresentou pior resultado para qualidade de vida no domínio físico e ambiente, e ao se comparar com as outras séries do curso, apenas o domínio físico foi menor. Com relação à sonolência diurna, não foi observada diferença significante entre os anos. Porém, ao realizar a correlação da qualidade de vida com a sonolência diurna, houve correlação para os alunos do primeiro e segundo. Assim, conclui-se que, para qualidade de vida, o ano mais acometido é o quarto, principalmente no domínio físico. Ademais, não houve diferença com relação à sonolência. No entanto, quando os alunos do primeiro ano apresentam melhor percepção da qualidade de vida no domínio relação social, mais sonolentos eles se percebem; e quanto melhor a percepção no domínio ambiente, menos sonolentos eles se percebem. Outrossim, nos alunos do segundo ano, quanto melhor percepção da qualidade de vida no domínio relações sociais, menos sonolentos eles estão.
А Gpu-based Orthogonal Matrix Factorization Algorithm that Produces a Two-Diagonal Shape

Published: December 2021

With the development of the Big Data sphere, as well as those fields of study that we can relate to artificial intelligence, the need for fast and efficient computing has become one of the most important tasks nowadays. That is why in the recent decade, graphics processing unit computations have been actively developing to provide an ability for scientists and developers to use thousands of cores GPUs have in order to perform intensive computations. The goal of this research is to implement orthogonal decomposition of a matrix by applying a series of Householder transformations in Java language using JCuda library to conduct a research on its benefits. Several related papers were examined. Malaschonok and Savchenko in their work have introduced an improved version of QR algorithm for this purpose [4] and achieved better results, however Householder algorithm is more promising for GPUs according to another team of researchers – Lahabar and Narayanan [6]. However, they were using Float numbers, while we are using Double, and apart from that we are working on a new BigDecimal type for CUDA. Apart from that, there is still no solution for handling huge matrices where errors in calculations might occur.

The algorithm of orthogonal matrix decomposition, which is the first part of SVD algorithm, is researched and implemented in this work. The implementation of matrix bidiagonalization and calculation of orthogonal factors by the Hausholder method in the jCUDA environment on a graphics processor is presented, and the algorithm for the central processor for comparisons is also implemented. Research of the received results where we experimentally measured acceleration of calculations with the use of the graphic processor in comparison with the implementation on the central processor are carried out. We show a speedup up to 53 times compared to CPU implementation on a big matrix size, specifically 2048, and even better results when using more advanced GPUs. At the same time, we still experience bigger errors in calculations while using graphic processing units due to synchronization problems. We compared execution on different platforms (Windows 10 and Arch Linux) and discovered that they are almost the same, taking the computation speed into account. The results have shown that on GPU we can achieve better performance, however there are more implementation difficulties with this approach.
“Green Economy “And Economic Security: Expectations And Reality
Authors: S. Bobushev Temirbek
Published: December 2021

The development of a green economy and economic security are truly among the most discussed at the present time. However, the nature and degree of their discussions are sometimes so active and off scale that the causes or origins of these problems are forgotten. We are talking about global climate change and its, in most cases, negative impacts and manifestations on the economic condition and economic security of countries' development. The transition to a green economy system implies the expectation of a more stable and environmentally sustainable degree of development. At the same time, such a transition requires a deep restructuring, first of all, of the energy sector of the countries' economies. Despite the attractiveness of an environmentally friendly system of a green economy, today it is not possible for a complete and widespread transition to this economic system by most countries in the world. The problem is that, on the one hand, not all countries have the ability to replace fossil fuels in primary energy production with renewable sources due to their high cost, on the other hand, not all countries have “clean sources” of fuel and conditions for using alternative energy sources. Ultimately, there is a need to develop a long-term policy for a gradual and phased transition to a “green economy”, which will make it possible to realistically determine the time frame for such transition.

Published: December 2021

The study aimed at investigating the effect of tax audit and tax amnesty on tax yield in southwest Nigeria. Tax audit and tax amnesty are part of the tax administration programmes which serves as government’s instrument for determining and monitoring tax collection. Residents have a natural urge to reduce their tax obligations by intentionally overstating their expenses and producing fraudulent entries and falsehoods in their accounting records. Without a doubt, this shows a lot about Nigeria’s tax administration. The study was carried out in southwest Nigeria which comprises of Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos States. Survey research method was used for the study and 302 staff of the audit and risk departments from the State Board of Internal Revenue (SBIR) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) formed the population of the study. Taro Yamane sampling technique was adopted to get the sampling size of 172 respondents. The researcher created a closed-ended questionnaire called Tax Administration and Tax Yield (TATY) to gather relevant data for the study. The study found that tax audit has significantly positive link with tax yield while tax amnesty has a negative and substantial correlational influence on tax yield significant relationship with tax yield. It was recommended that tax audits should be undertaken on a regular basis and tax amnesty should be fairly play down because it may reduce future tax revenue.

Published: December 2021

Learning, which is the main key of innovation, is an indispensable element for companies to gain sustainable competitive advantage. Although not being adequately studied in management literature, network learning capability, a type of organizational learning ability, is a determining factor in the innovation process. Likewise, open-mindedness is a component that accelerates the creation of knowledge in the organization as well as encouraging the organization to be open towards new opportunities and to value different opinions. In this study, a model including these variables was designed and the mediator role of network learning in the relationship between open-mindedness and innovation performance was explored. It is suggested that open-mindedness has a positive effect on innovation performance and that network learning capability possesses a mediator role in this relationship. The data were collected through surveys answered by the middle and senior managers of Turkey’s leading companies. As a result, it is pointed out that there is a positive and significant relationship between open-mindedness and innovation performance, and that network learning has a mediator effect on this relationship. This study adds value to the management literature by highlighting the momentousness of network learning capability in the innovation process as well as offering several avenues of future studies and implications for different stakeholders.

Published: December 2021

Starting March 2020, Romania has been faced with a health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a crisis reflected in media communication. In such situations, media play a crucial role in making relevant information timely and accessible, to help people learn about and understand what this pandemic is and how it is assessed, how to protect themselves, and what measures are taken by the authorities. This study aims to analyse how Romanian students keep informed during this national and global crisis, which also generates adjacent media phenomena such as an increase in misinformation, lack of transparency in communicating with the public or over-abundance of information. To this end, we applied a questionnaire which was answered by 426 students from a public university in Romania. The results show that students use many sources to get the information they consider important, believe that the types of messages that help them feel properly informed about the pandemic and its implications: data, figures, accurate facts, and the information received from authorities or experts and that they prefer multimedia digital content. Young people tend to be cautious concerning the transparency of official communication and continue to consume information transmitted by the mainstream media, perceived as being more credible than other news sites.

The article studies the Jewish cemetery which provides a significant amount of historical information about various aspects of the life of the Jewish community which have long been out of focus. The objective of the research lies in proving the relevance of marginal culturally significant objects in the context of postmodern philosophy, as well as explaining and analyzing the compositional ways and peculiarities of plastic images of the facades of the gravestones in Kremenets, one of the Volyn areas of the Jewish culture in the 18th century – the early 19th century. The article focuses on the most common method of studying the monuments of Jewish gravestone epigraphy. The methodology of the research is based on the regionalist approaches to the problem and the application of culturological, retrospective comparative-historical methods and the use of critical analysis. For the first time, the artistic and style peculiarities of the memorial plastic arts of Jewish cemetery in Kremenets are analysed and the historical factors that influenced them are explicated. It was proved that the historical and cultural value of the Jewish necropolis in Kremenets lies in its originality. The cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe and contains unique information on the history, customs and culture of the Jewish people. It can become a promising object of visit for postmodern consumers, interested in unpopular and marginal tourist artefacts.

Published: December 2021

The study focuses on a two-handed robot with twelve degrees of freedom, six for each arm, and gives an example of calculating generalized coordinates for the two-armed robot limbs at their joint manipulation. The initial data for obtaining generalized coordinates are represented by the location of the work object, which is a cube. When solving the problem, the last arm links reach the faces of the work object with a given orientation. To obtain generalized coordinates, we used a hierarchical approach, which is based on an algorithm for solving the inverse problem of kinematics, and developed a control flow chart. The values ??of generalized robot coordinates were obtained for each location of the object of work, taking into account the kinematic constraints in the joints of the robot actuator. Findings of research show that it is possible to obtain generalized coordinates for the coordinated movement of the robot actuators with tree-like kinematic scheme.

Published: December 2021

Satellite onboard equipment includes waveguide transmission lines. One of the tasks to be solved is the temperature decoupling of the waveguide path and onboard equipment devices. In order to prevent waveguide path deformation during expansion/contraction due to thermal effects, the waveguide is equipped with a flexible waveguide section capable of changing the length without deteriorating radio technical characteristics. The paper considers the issues of fabrication of flexible waveguide parts, concerning the requirements for structure, properties, heat treatment of raw materials, dimensions of workpieces, equipment, and tooling. Within the study, we optimized and tested in practice operations of the technological process of extracting parts from sheet material, rolling, profiling, and shaping, which make it possible to manufacture parts of waveguide paths of the required quality.
Analysis of the Operation of an Arched Elastomeric Shock Absorber Under Two-Axial Loading
Authors: Sinilschikov V.B. , Melikhov K.V. , Kunavich S.A.
Published: December 2021

Elastomeric shock absorbers are used in various technical fields to protect equipment from impacts. Elastomers made in an arched shape have complex nonlinear force characteristics due to large deformations, loss of stability of working elements and closing of surfaces. In this regard, obtaining the power characteristics of arched elastomeric shock absorbers is a complex computational problem. It is noteworthy that, in the literature, these characteristics are given only for the case of normal compression. However, when assessing the possibility of using a shock-absorbing system based on arched elastomeric shock absorbers, it is necessary to take into account their lateral force. The study proposes to solve the problem of determining the elastic force characteristics of a shock absorber while operating in the normal and lateral directions in the system of finite element analysis in a flat formulation. Analytical expressions are obtained for the normal and transverse static reactions of the shock absorber under simultaneous loading in the normal and transverse directions. Analytic expressions can be used to simulate complex shock-absorbing systems with a large number of such shock absorbers.

Russian enterprises continue developing rocket and space vehicles based on cryogenic propellants, i.e. liquid hydrogen, oxygen, and methane. Hence, the issues of fuel tanks’ thermal strength are increasingly important. During structural tests, the operating temperatures of the test object should be simulated, since the temperature condition affects the strength and rigidity of the structure. Consequently, during ground-based experimental tests, hydrogen tanks must be cooled down to 20 K, the boiling point of hydrogen. JSC TsNIIMash is developing a helium system capable of cooling large-sized structures to a temperature of 20 K. Helium can be used in a gaseous state to cool down the structure, since the boiling point of helium, 4 K, is lower than the boiling point of hydrogen. Until now, the tanks were cooled only by filling with liquid nitrogen, therefore the temperature state of the tanks during the tests was simulated only for this case. In order to determine the applicability of the method developed, the cooling time of large-sized containers was estimated by cooling a hydrogen tank, which by its dimensions is typical for an advanced medium-class second stage launcher, to 20 K by gaseous helium.
Short-Term Deformation Model of High-Performance Concrete Plate Based on Surrounding Temperature
Authors: Chatarina Niken
Published: December 2021

The relationship between surrounding temperature and deformation behaviour of one full scale concrete plate with compressive strength of 60 MPa was presented in this paper. This research was done in Indonesia. Indonesia presents humid tropical weather. A specimen measuring 3.00m × 1.60m × 0.15m was used. Deformation was obtained by using four embedded vibrating wire strain gauges. The range observation is held between 7 to 28 days. The peaks of deformation follow peaks of surrounding temperature. Some deformation peaks time occur after surrounding temperature peak time, it is called as delay time. As a result, there is a linear relationship between temperature and deformation. The relationship was influenced by a factor which presented its position and delay time. The average error of this model is less than 15% at the age range of 7 until 14 days, and less than 50% at the age range of 15 - 28 days.
Garnitury okuć rzemieni i inne elementy ozdobne wielkomorawskich mieczy
Authors: Robak Zbigniew
Published: December 2021

Tematem artykułu jest rekonstrukcja wyglądu pochwy miecza wielkomorawskich wojowników. Autor skupia się w nim przede wszystkim na garniturach okuć rzemieni i pasów służących do przypinania miecza, ale nie pomija także innych ozdobnych elementów pochwy miecza, jakie stosowano na obszarze Wielkich Moraw w IX i na początku X w. Artykuł prezentuje głównie analizę składu garniturów mieczowych znanych z obszarów Wielkich Moraw w kontekście szerszej typologii i zagadnień chronologicznych znalezisk z obszaru Europy znajdującego się pod wpływem kultury karolińskiej między początkiem IX a pierwszą połową X w. Rozbudowane garnitury mieczowe stały się bardzo popularne na Wielkich Morawach w drugiej połowie IX w. Wtedy też zanikają miecze ze zdobionymi głowicami (B/H, K), a pojawiają się modele z głowicami niezdobionymi (N/X, Y). Możliwe zatem, że popularyzacja garniturów mieczowych wśród wielkomorawskich wojowników nastąpiła w odpowiedzi na konieczność stosowania mniej okazałej broni.
Reading in Public Libraries: Space, Reading Activities, and User Profiles
Authors: Sequeiros Paula
Published: December 2021

This single case research was developed within a public library in Porto, Portugal, Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Garrett. Its main objective was to understand how public library readers interact with space, the Internet technology, and reading resources, and how these interactions shape the representations of what a public library is. This case was chosen because the library has a recent and renowned building, high reader use levels, and Internet access. The design of user profiles was an intermediate step, and then a partial result in the process of understanding provision and appropriation of technology, space, and reading resources (all media and supports) in a specific context. The construction of these profiles is presented and  discussed in this paper. A qualitative, single case study was designed according to Burawoy’s Extended Case Method, departing from the framework of several theories – Feenberg and Bakardjieva’s approach to  Internet uses, Lefèbvre and Certeau’s approach on space – and some library users and studies of  Internet user profiles – by Rodrigues, Bakardjieva, and by other authors. A theoretical, diversified sample was constructed. User profiles were designed as a way of depicting common reading practices by grouping readers’ characteristics according to Internet, space, and bibliographical resource usage. Along with this usage, social demographics, motivations, meanings, and feelings were enquired about to construct a thick narrative. Observation of all forms of reading practices, in-depth interviews, informal conversations, children’s drawings, photography, and an architectural and social analysis of the building were used. The library has diversified uses, tied to present-day everyday life conditions, and its space and management style are flexible enough to allow for different user appropriations. As to the general reading atmosphere, high satisfaction was reported, and the most appreciated features of social and architectural space were signaled by readers. User profiles reflect diversified usage modes, diverse relations to space, to Internet and bibliographic resources, and to other users. Both the theoretical framework and the selected methodology proved fruitful for the intended purpose. These readers’ profiles may provide a tool to understand and manage public library services, given the adequate fittingness. The same may be said about readers’ evaluation of space, in general, or, specifically, about space appropriations, and, above all, about the production of stimulating reading atmospheres
Oktatók és facilitátorok különböző oktatási terekben

Az információs társadalom ma már nem tudja elképzelni mindennapjait az internet használata nélkül. Keelan és munkatársai meghatározták azokat az előnyöket, amelyeket a hagyományos területekhez képest biztosít a virtuális világok használata. A virtuális terek eltörölhetik a fizikai-földrajzi határokat azokban az esetekben, ahol meszsze esik egymástól a kutatás a fizikai világban és a vizsgálni kívánt embercsoport (Keelan et al. 2015). Akár a valós térben, akár a virtuális térben tervezzük megvalósítani az oktatási folyamatot, a magyarázat és a segítségnyújtás sok esetben elengedhetetlen lehet. Gamage és kutatótársai aszerint különböztették meg kutatásuk alanyait, hogy azok mennyire voltak tapasztaltak a virtuális terek használatában. Mindkét csoport egyetértett abban, hogy a platformok használata előnyt jelent a tanulás során, abban azonban eltért a véleményük, hogy mennyire valószínű az érzelmi kapcsolat a tanár és diák között ebben a sok felhasználót foglalkoztató világban (Gamage et al. 2011). Nemcsak a valós térben, hanem a virtuális térben történő oktatási folyamatokban is hasznos lehet az oktatássegítő személyek tevékenysége. A facilitátor olyan személy, aki hatékonyan együtt tud dolgozni az oktatóval és hallgatókkal egyaránt. Hozzájárul ahhoz, hogy a tanítási folyamatok gördülékenyen és a lehető leghatásosabban menjenek végbe a figyelem folyamatos fenntartása mellett (Schwarz et al. 2011). Cikkünkben bemutatjuk és definiáljuk az általunk körvonalazott megelőző, résztvevő, utólagos és folyamatos facilitátori szerepeket. A facilitátor szemszögéből, a valós tér hagyományos oktatási környezetéből kiindulva eljutunk a virtuális terek tanulókörnyezeteiben szükségképpen megjelenő szerepkör pontos paramétereihez.

Cél: A tanulmány célja a Transcultural Assessment Modell segítségével megismerni a roma közösség saját egészségi állapotának szubjektív megítélését a társadalmi integráció és a környezeti hatások kontextusában.Módszer: Kvantitatív kutatással kérdőíves adatgyűjtés. A felmérésben résztvevő csoport 600 fő roma kisebbséghez tartozó egyén.Eredmény: Az eredmények megmutatták, hogy az egészség az egyik legfőbb érték a roma kisebbség számára. A válaszadók jelentős hányada szerint gyakran aggódnak az egészségük miatt, ugyanakkor nem járnak egészségügyi vizsgálatokra.Következtetés: Az egészség és betegség fogalma egyénenként jelentősen eltérő. Továbbá, az a kultúra, melyhez az egyén tartozik, azon a tényezőkhöz egyike, melyek befolyásolják az egészségről kialakított felfogásukat. Ennek következtében az egészségügyi ellátást nyújtónak tisztában kell lennie a beteg kultúrájával és azzal, hogy mi a felfogása az egészség-betegségről.
A phenomenological study of the lived experiences of teenage mothers in coping with complications of pregnancy in Khaddamari Ward, Jere Local Government Area, Borno State
Authors: Anioke Blessing Nkiruka
Published: December 2021

Objectives: Teenage pregnancy is a world-wide phenomenon and a public health issue so our aim was to identify the contributing factors, and to study perception, complications, effects, challenges and coping mechanisms.

Method: An explorative qualitative research design, snowball sampling, was used. Ten respondents were interviewed using an interview guide in Khaddamari Ward, Jere L.G.A. of Borno State.

Results: The major contributing factor to teenage pregnancy is ignorance and lack of proper sex education both at home and school. Few responses listed traditional roles, cultural expectations, using drugs and alcohol, age discrepancy in relationships, socio-economic factors, sexual coercion and abuse. Most of them perceived fear, guilt and stigmatization and only a few of them said they were excited, proud and accepted. Anemia, preterm labour, cephalo-pelvic disproportion, obstructed labour and vesico-vaginal fistula were common complications. Almost all of them dropped out of school.

Conclusion: Based on these findings of the study, a collaborative effort by all stakeholders involved should be employed in combating the complications of teenage pregnancy.

Napjainkra a modern egyéni- és csapatsportban a technikai és taktika képességek elérték a határukat. A versenyelőny megszerzésének egyetlen lehetősége a fizikaiés mentális fejlesztésben rejlik. Ez az előny azonban a teljesítőképesség határainak folyamatos feszegetésével jár, mely gyakran sérülések indikátora lehet. Kutatásunkban a sportés azon belül a labdarúgásban leggyakrabban előforduló sérülésekkel kívánunk foglalkozni. A publikáció első felében a felnőttekre jellemző sérüléstípusokat határozzuk meg a nemzetközi szakirodalom alapján, majd ezeket hasonlítjuk össze az utánpótláskorúaknál előfordulókkal egyéni kutatásunk alapján. Az akadémiai rendszer kiépülésével és a modern futball fizikális követelményeinek növekedésével a fiatal labdarúgók is egyre nagyobb terhelésnek vannak kitéve. A kutatásban arra keressük a választ, hogy a még fejlődés alatt álló játékosok esetében ennek a nagy terhelésnek vannak-e olyan következményei, melyek bizonyos sérüléstípus számának emelkedésével járnak, vagy megegyezik-e a felnőtteknél tapasztalt előfordulási adatokkal és jelleggel.

Az egészségügyi intézményekben dolgozók egészsége több szempontból is kockázatnak van kitéve. Ezen káros hatások ellensúlyozásában a rendszeres fizikai aktivitás is szerepet játszhat. Kutatásunk során Magyarország egyik legnagyobb egészségügyi szolgáltató intézményében vizsgáltuk a munkavállalók sportolási szokásait. A felmérést önkéntes és anonim módon, kérdőíves módszerrel végeztük. A 987 válaszadónak 45,1%-a sportol rendszeresen, legalább heti két alkalommal. Vizsgáltuk a különböző munkaköri csoportok – orvos, szakdolgozó, egyéb munkakörben foglalkoztatott –, valamint a nemek közötti különbségeket is.Az eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy a régióban továbbra is fejleszteni szükséges az egészségtudatosságot, amelynek különösen fontos eleme lehet a munkáltató egészségügyi intézmény szervezett formában megvalósított egészségfejlesztő tevékenysége.
