LOVE (AMORE AND CARITAS) AS A COGNITION AND LINK BETWEEN RATIO AND INTELLECTUS. THE HIGHEST DIMENSION OF CREATIVITY
Authors: Zborovska X.
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the article is to reveal the historical and philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of love, which is the key to the work of Nicholas of Cusa in the light of his epistemological constructions, and in view of his reflections on the nature of human. The author focuses on the anthropological nature of the system of Nicholas of Cusa, exploring that this approach makes it possible to better understand the ontological basis of the tradition of correlation in the philosophy of Nicholas of Cusan intellectus and creative intentions in man, and also leads to the final concept of the anthropological doctrine of Nicholas of Cusa, namely, deiformitatem (deification). The obtained results can be used in the development of normative courses, special courses on the history of philosophy and philosophy of religion when considering medieval mysticism.

Sobre niilismo e felicidade em alguns escritos políticos de Walter Benjamin/ About nihilism and happiness in some political writings of Walter Benjamin
Authors: Jarek Márcio
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Nos propomos a interpretar o enigmático “Fragmento teológico-político” (1920- 1921) à luz das noções de niilismo e de felicidade contidas em escritos de Walter Benjamin de seu projeto de uma obra sobre as relações entre política e vida. Nossa hipótese é a de que o fragmento somente pode ser compreendido tendo em vista os estudos sobre o “problema psicofísico” e ao se considerar as reflexões do filósofo sobre as relações entre mito, natureza e história. Essas reflexões surgiram no contexto da tarefa de avaliação sobre a possibilidade de uma “vida mais elevada” e da “continuidade da vida” em um “corpo vivo” histórico. Benjamin buscava elementos críticos que tivessem a capacidade “messiânica” de redimir as limitações da vida impostas pelas atuais configurações de poder e de violência da atualidade. Nos valeremos da análise de diferentes trabalhos de Walter Benjamin elaborados no período de juventude do pensador, assim como, nos valeremos igualmente da avaliação de algumas das principais ideias que exerceram influência na constituição de seus trabalhos no período.Palavras-chave: felicidade; niilismo; política; vida; Walter Benjamin.Abstract: We propose to interpret the enigmatic “Theological-Political Fragment” (1920-1921) in light of the notions of nihilism and happiness contained in Walter Benjamin’s writings of his work on the relations between politics and life. Our hypothesis is that the fragment can only be understood in view of the studies on the “psychophysical problem” and in considering the philosopher’s reflections on the relations between myth, nature and history. These reflections arose in the context of the task of evaluating the possibility of a “higher life” and “continuity of life” in a “living living body”. Benjamin sought critical elements that had the “messianic” ability to redeem the limitations of life imposed by today’s configurations of power and violence. We will use the analysis of different works by Walter Benjamin elaborated in the youth period of the thinker, as well as the evaluation of some of the main ideas that exerted influence in the constitution of his works in the period.Keywords: happiness; nihilism; politics; life; Walter Benjamin.

An experimental study on the interpretation of bare singulars in Mexican Spanish / Um estudo experimental sobre a interpretação de singulares nus no espanhol mexicano
Authors: Severo Ohanna Teixeira Barchi
Published: February 2019

Abstract: This paper explores the interpretation of bare singulars (count nouns that are not preceded by determiners) as coche (“car”) in María compró coche ayer (“Mary bought (a/some) car(s) yesterday”) in Mexican Spanish. A quantity judgment task was performed with 134 L1 Mexican speakers and they had to choose one between two scenarios where different quantities of the tested noun were shown. In this task, while presenting two different characters, one that has two big portions of x (Volume) and another that has six different portions of x (Number), it is presented a comparative sentence (Marcelo tiene más X que Lena (“Marcelo has more X than Lena”)) and asked whether the sentence was true or false given the context. The results show that a Number interpretation was preferred for bare singulars (Marcelo tiene más bici que Lena (“Marcelo has more bike than Lena”)) and a Volume interpretation was preferred for substance mass nouns (Marcelo tiene más agua que Lena (“Marcelo has more water than Lena”)). That is, the absence of the plural morpheme (mass syntax) does not trigger a mass interpretation of bare singulars; bare singulars are interpreted as pluralized count nouns even when they are not pluralized.Keywords: Mexican Spanish; bare singulars; count/mass distinction; quantity judgment task.Resumo: Esse trabalho explora a interpretação de singulares nus (nomes contáveis que não são precedidos de determinantes) como coche (“carro”) em María compró coche ayer (“Maria comprou (um/alguns) carro(s) ontem”) no Espanhol Mexicano. Um julgamento de quantidade foi feito com 134 falantes mexicanos L1 e eles tiveram que escolher um entre dois cenários em que diferentes quantidades do nome testado eram mostradas. Nessa tarefa, enquanto duas personagens diferentes foram apresentadas, uma que possuía duas porções grandes de x (Volume) e outra que possuía seis diferentes porções de x (Número), é apresentada uma sentença comparativa (Marcelo tiene más X que Lena (“Marcelo tem mais X que Lena”)) e perguntado se a sentença é verdadeira ou falsa, dado o contexto. Os resultados mostram que a interpretação de Número foi a preferida para singulares nus (Marcelo tiene más bici que Lena (“Marcelo tem mais bicicleta que Lena”)) e a interpretação de Volume foi a preferida para nomes massivos de substância (Marcelo tiene más água que Lena (“Marcelo tem mais água que Lena”)). Isto é, a ausência de morfema de plural (sintaxe massiva) não desencadeia uma interpretação massiva de singulares nus; singulares nus são interpretados como nomes contáveis pluralizados mesmo que eles não estejam pluralizados.Palavras-chave: Espanhol Mexicano; singulares nus; distinção contável/massiva; tarefa de julgamento de quantidade.
Da posição do verbo temático em cinco variedades ibéricas / On the position of the thematic verb in five Iberian varieties
Authors: Tescari Neto Aquiles
Published: February 2019

Resumo: O trabalho investiga a subida do verbo em duas línguas ibéricas: o português – em suas variedades brasileira e moçambicana – e o espanhol – em suas variedades colombiana, venezuelana e o peruana. Recorre à proposta cartográfica de Cinque (1999) para determinar, em cada variedade, a posição de quatro formas do verbo temático (o infinitivo, o gerúndio, o particípio passado ativo e o verbo finito) entre os oito advérbios mais baixos da Hierarquia Universal. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de julgamentos de gramaticalidade de sentenças envolvendo quatro padrões de ordenação da forma verbal mencionada relativamente a um dos oito advérbios mais baixos e o objeto do verbo. Há variação intralinguística (relativamente à altura a que cada forma verbal sobe, na hierarquia de Cinque) e interlinguística (se compararmos as diferentes alturas a que cada forma verbal sobe nas diferentes línguas consideradas). O exame dos dados favorece um abandono do movimento nuclear (para a sintaxe da subida do verbo), em proveito tão somente da assunção de movimentos sintagmáticos.Palavras-chave: movimento do verbo; Cartografia Sintática; hierarquia de Cinque; línguas ibéricas.Abstract: This work investigates the issue of verb raising in two Iberian languages (Portuguese and Spanish), by taking into account data from Brazilian and Mozambican Portuguese, and Colombian, Venezuelan and Peruvian Spanish. To achieve that goal, it turns to the cartographic analysis of Cinque (1999) to determine, in those languages, the position of four distinct forms of the thematic verb (the infinitive, the gerund, the active past participle and the finite verb) among the eight lowest adverbs of the Universal Hierarchy. The data were collected on the basis of grammaticality judgment tasks. The corpus is composed of sentences involving four order patterns with the combination of one adverb, the object and the verb. There is intralinguistic variation (relative to the height where each verb form goes within the Cinque hierarchy) and interlinguistic (if we compare the different heights where each verb form stops in each language). An examination of the data favors an analysis of Verb raising in terms of phrasal movements, with an abandonment of head movements.Keywords: verb raising; Syntactic Cartography; Cinque hierarchy; Iberian languages.

Diferencias de género en la función tutorial
Authors: González Álvarez María
Published: February 2019

La función tutorial se reconoce en la literatura como un componente básico de la práctica docente y factor de calidad de la enseñanza. En el presente trabajo pretendemos analizar, en función del género, distintos aspectos de la tutoría de los centros de Educación Infantil, Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, Bachillerato y Formación Profesional. Con este fin hemos elaborado una prueba específica que ha sido enviada por correo electrónico a una muestra de tutores y tutoras de todas las comunidades de España y que ha sido cumplimentada por 1350. Hemos realizado un trabajo exploratorio para obtener información sobre la actual situación de la función tutorial respecto a diversos aspectos. Las tutoras valoran mejor que los tutores la formación inicial y permanente recibida, así como la importancia que tienen diversos temas para su formación. También valoran mejor las tutoras otros aspectos como la importancia que tiene la tutoría para la educación del alumnado y para el funcionamiento del centro, el reconocimiento y colaboración que tienen por parte de administraciones educativas, profesorado y familias, así como determinadas mejoras profesionales que deberían realizarse. Podría analizarse si este mejor perfil de las docentes tutoras puede suponer una mejora en la calidad de la enseñanza.

Authors: Galvis Riaño Carlos Julio , Perales Palacios Francisco Javier , Ladino Ospina Yolanda
Published: February 2019

A pesar de la importancia actual de la Educación Ambiental (EA), lo que ocurre dentro de las aulas constituye un reducto escasamente estudiado. En este artículo pretendemos describir las prácticas en materia ambiental y de EA realizadas por una muestra de profesores de centros educativos rurales de Bogotá. Para ello se recurrió al método etnometodológico, mediante la técnica de observación. Las dimensiones analizadas en la intervención en el aula de los profesores fueron: la corriente de EA seguida, los modelos pedagógicos y didácticos, las estrategias de evaluación y los mecanismos para articular el tema ambiental en las clases. Los resultados se muestran como frecuencias para las distintas categorías establecidas en la observación. Se concluye que las prácticas de los profesores observados responden, en general, a los estándares deseables para la EA, aunque con algunas excepciones relacionadas especialmente con el contexto en que desarrollan su labor docente.
Repensando la formación teórica a través del Prácticum: experiencias de una docente novel
Authors: Iglesias Martínez Marcos Jesús , Moncho Miralles María , Lozano Cabezas Inés
Published: February 2019

La brecha entre el saber teórico y el saber práctico está repercutiendo significativamente en la formación inicial del profesorado, aspectos fundamentales en el proceso de construcción de la profesionalización docente. Desde un enfoque cualitativo y basado en la práctica reflexiva, en este trabajo se analiza la vinculación del conocimiento teórico con las experiencias Prácticum de una maestra novel. Los resultados evidencian que el papel de la teoría sigue siendo una vertiente por la que se ha de regir exclusivamente la acción. Asimismo, se identifica que es necesario promover una relación dialógica entre el conocimiento teórico y las experiencias interdisciplinares que el Prácticum ofrece. Las principales conclusiones de este estudio demandan la creación de “espacios híbridos” (Zeichner, 2010), para mejorar la relación entre ambos conocimientos, siendo la teoría necesaria para guiar y orientar la práctica. Resulta imprescindible que la formación inicial del docente integre estos “espacios” basados en la reflexión y en el diálogo entre todos los agentes participantes, lo que permite dar sentido y significado al conocimiento teórico-práctico, con el propósito de formar profesionales capaces de observar, analizar y reflexionar las dimensiones de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.

Authors: Khasnis Ravindra G. , S. Rajshankar
Published: February 2019

Background: Conditions which can be treated by surgery like biliary atresia etc., can lead to infantile jaundice. For better outcome it is important that the diagnosis be made quickly and precisely. There is danger of irreversible damage to the liver if prompt action is not taken. Here comes the role of diagnostic imaging which can help for prompt and precise diagnosis. This helps to act rapidly for the surgeon. The objective was to study the surgical problem of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease in children.Methods: Hospital-based follow up study was carried out among 10 pediatric patients with surgical problems hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. After admission detailed history of all the cases were taken according to the proforma approved by the guide information regarding the age at presentation to hospital, gestational age, birth weight, age at onset of jaundice, nature of symptoms, duration of symptoms was obtained.Results: Out of the total cases, 50% constituted the biliary atresia cases followed by choledochal cyst in 30% of the cases. Chronic pancreatitis constituted 20% of the cases. In 20% of the patients the birth weight was less than two kg. All 5 patients had icterus. 3 patients had icterus. Ultrasound showed that the most common finding was hepatomegaly in 60% of the cases. All 5 patients had good uptake of radiotracer and excretion of radiotracer in intestine was poor in all 5 patients. The mean value of total bilirubin is 13.9.Conclusions: Early and rapid intervention in biliary atresia cases reduces morbidity and mortality.
A comparative study of liver abscess: therapeutic aspiration verses continuous catheter drainage
Authors: Chandak Unmed , Araujo Prenoy , Mitra Arti
Published: February 2019

Background: Previously liver abscesses were treated primarily by surgery but with advances in imaging techniques the trend is changing towards use of potent antimicrobials and minimally invasive ultrasound guided interventional procedures and surgery is being done only in selected cases. We conducted this study to find out the feasibility, limitations, effectiveness, outcome and complications of therapeutic needle aspiration and continuous catheter drainage of liver abscess.Methods: This was a hospital based randomized control prospective study in which patients with liver abscess were included. 100 patients of liver abscess selected by simple randomization to 2 groups namely Group A (needle aspiration) or Group B (continuous catheter drainage) undergo the above two interventional procedures. For statistical purposes P value less that 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results: This study consisted of 100 patients out of whom there were 78 (78%) males and 22 (22%) females with a M:F ratio of 1:0.28. Single hepatic abscess (75%) was more common than multiple abscesses (25%) and pyogenic abscess (67%) was more common than amoebic abscess (33%). Right lobe of liver was most commonly involved (61%) followed by left lobe (22%). All patients in both the groups were treated successfully and there was no treatment failure in any of the groups.Conclusions: Therapeutic needle aspiration as well as continuous catheter drainage both are equally effective in management of liver abscess but needle aspiration had the advantage of being less expensive, easily available and requiring less hospital stay.

Published: February 2019

Background: Acute generalized peritonitis from Gastrointestinal hollow viscus perforation is a potentially life threatening condition. The aim of the study was to assess the application of APACHE II score in assessing the severity and outcome in peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation and to correlate morbidity and mortality patterns using the modified APACHE II Score and its significance on the outcome.Methods: A prospective survey of 50 patients with acute generalized peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation was carried out in general surgical wards, CAIMS, Karimnagar. APACHE-II scores were assigned to all patients in order to calculate their individual risk of mortality before undergoing emergency surgery.Results: Total 50 patients were admitted during the study period. Age and sex distribution shows that perforation was common >60 years in our study. Higher modified APACHE II scores statistically influenced mortality in all the patients irrespective of aetiology with p<0.001 which is statistically significant.Conclusions: Modified APACHE II scoring predicts mortality which was significant irrespective of the aetiology.

Authors: Kadam Dipali , Patil Saurabh , Dhok Avinash , Jain Meenal
Published: February 2019

Background: Any anatomical or physiological obstruction to flow of urine in urinary tract results in obstructive uropathy which is one of the leading etiologies of renal failure. So, physicians require accurate and early diagnosis of obstructive uropathy to initiate appropriate treatment of these entities for better prognosis of patient. The purpose of the present study aims to determine the feasibility, accuracy and diagnostic potential of combined static and excretory MR Urography in patients of clinical features of obstructive uropathy with sonographically detected hydronephrosis.Methods: A cross sectional study of 100 patients were carried in the Department of Radio-diagnosis. The results of MR Urography were compared with the results of post-operative findings and clinical follow-up.Results: In our study of 100 patients of obstructive uropathy, MRU better depicted mild to severe PCS dilatation, renal and ureteric calculi, impaired renal function, extrinsic ureteric and PUJ obstruction. Static-fluid and excretory MR urography provided a comprehensive evaluation of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, vasculature, and soft tissues in patients with symptoms of obstructive uropathy.Conclusions: MR urography provided a superior imaging of urinary system dilatation, the site and the etiology of obstruction. In conclusions, static and excretory MRU give both morphological and functional information in a single examination without exposure to ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agent.
Predicting difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy preoperatively using a scoring system
Authors: Raza Mohammed , M. Venkata Rajeev
Published: February 2019

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Preoperative assessment of difficulty is needed for frequent procedures such as LC in order to avoid complications, preparedness and to guarantee an efficient course of surgery. But there is no scoring system available to predict the difficulty preoperatively.Methods: In our study we have tried to predict a difficult LC preoperatively using a modified scoring system proposed by Randhawa et al. Patients diagnosed to have GB stones requiring LC were evaluated with following factors age, gender, duration of illness, h/o previous GB disease, underwent ERCP, BMI, abdominal scar whether infra umbilical or supraumbilical, palpable gallbladder, sonographic findings - gall bladder wall thickness, pericholecystic collection, impacted stone. Various clinical and radiological and intra-operative parameters were scored. Procedure is graded based on individual surgeon’s opinion as easy/difficult/very difficult. The parameters were analyzed to find their correlation to predicting difficult LC. Degree of difficulty was analyzed.Results: Preoperative scoring system proposed by Randhawa et al that we modified was found to be appropriate for predicting operative outcome in LC, having overall p value for the scoring system of <0.001, with sensitivity of 90.9, specificity of 73.1% and area under RoC of 0.876. In present study, palpable gall bladder, history of previous cholecystitis, and the radiological parameters i.e. GB wall thickness, pericholecystic fluid and impacted stone to be statistically significant.Conclusions: Present modified Randhawa and Pujahari scoring system is valuable and appropriate for predicting operative outcome in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This, in turn, facilitates better preparedness.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor at an unusual site with an unusual presentation

Published: February 2019

Gastrointestinal tumors (GIST) are malignant and rare forms of soft tissue sarcoma arising from interstitial cells of Cajal. With most common site of origin being stomach, Jejunal GIST accounts for 0.1–3% of all GIST. Due to non specific signs and symptoms diagnosis is often delayed and patient mostly presents in advanced stage. 50 year old female presented with decreased appetite from 5 months and lump in upper abdomen from 3 months associated with dull abdominal pain from 15 days. CECT abdomen showed a large soft tissue mass in left lumbar region. Exploratory laparotomy showed a highly vascular mass of size 12x10x8 cm abutting mesentery of transverse colon lodged between middle colic artery and superior mesenteric artery. Resection of mass with a segment of jejunum was done. Histopathological examination showed spindle cell tumor with high mitotic index with CD 117+. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given and patient is currently asymptomatic after 9 months of postoperative follow up. Spectrum of clinical presentation is broad so a preoperative diagnosis is difficult. GIST primarily presenting as an abdominal lump is rare and only 25 cases have been reported so far. Surgery is the primary mode of treatment but imatinib has transformed the treatment. Newer drugs are under phase II trials and hopefully will change the course of management in near future.

Published: February 2019

Diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele is usually made intraoperatively in emergency operation theatre. It is crucial to recognize and treat this condition appropriately. This study reports management of such cases and their follow up. All cases of appendiceal mucocele diagnosed introperatively in patients undergoing emergency appendectomy at NMCH, Patna over duration of 1 year. Among 210 cases of appendectomy we found two cases of appendiceal mucocele. One patients underwent limited ileocaecal resection and appendectomy was done in the other case. Appendiceal mucocele should be recognized and treated appropriately. Limited ileocaecal resection along with taking care to avoid spillage of contents may suffice at primary surgery. Follow up can be done once histopathological diagnosis and margins are confirmed.
Rare case of removal of intrabiliary retained broken PTBD wire with redo-hepaticojejunostomy
Authors: Gupta Monika
Published: February 2019

This is a rare case of surgical removal of intrahepatic retained broken wire of percutaneous transheaptic biliary catheter, which caused cholagitis and severe pain in a 59-year-old female who had undergone percutaneous transhepatic biliary dilatation of stricture hepaticojejunostomy in past. This is rare case ever reported of surgical removal of a broken PTBD wire retained inside left biliary system, post percutaneous transhepatic biliary dilatation of biliary stricture. Patient also underwent redo-hepaticojejunostomy for treatment of stricture hepaticojejunostomy in same sitting. This guidewire was put by interventional radiologist for dilatation of hepaticojejunostomy stricture. Patient had developed stricture in hepaticojejunotostomy which was done in year 2007 along with choledochal cyst excision by some other Gastrosurgeon. But one reoperation as well as one interventional approach had failed to retrieve the wire retained in biliary system. After that we successfully operated this challenging case and cured her of stricture hepaticojejunostomy, cholagitis and removed the foreign body in one surgery. Postoperatively we followed her up of 2 yrs. Patient is afebrile ,free of jaundice and has normal LFT on 2 yrs of follow up.Broken guidewire during percutaneous intervention in obstructed biliary system is an emergency as it acts as foreign body, removal with reansatomosis gives a fair chance of cholangitis free survival to patient.
Supraclavicular nerve schwannoma: a rare differential diagnosis for a neck lump
Authors: Shah Adarsh P. , Bhutiani Raj
Published: February 2019

Supraclavicular schwannomas are very rare benign tumours. We present the case of a 30-year-old middle-eastern man who complained of a gradually enlarging, asymptomatic 2cm non-tender swelling in the right supraclavicular fossa. There were no other symptoms suggestive of systemic disease. Ultrasound imaging was suggestive of an abnormal lymph node, but fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump was inconclusive. Subsequent urgent excision biopsy of the lump on histology revealed it to be a benign schwannoma. On post-operative follow-up, the patient did not have any neurological deficit.
PREMATÜRE RETİNOPATİSİ TEDAVİ SEÇENEKLERİNİN REFRAKSİYON ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: Akdoğan Müberra
Published: February 2019

AMAÇ: Prematüre retinopatisi(ROP) nedeniyle değişik tedavi yöntemleriyle tedavi edilmiş çocukların tedavi seçeneklerinin refraksiyon üzerine etkisini araştırmak.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya ROP nedeniyle 2016 Nisan ile 2017 Nisan tarihleri arasında takip ettiğimiz düzeltilmiş yaşları yaklaşık 1 olan 119 olgunun 238 gözü alındı. Retinopatisi olmayan veya tedavisiz retinopatili olgular grup 1 n=153(%64,2), intravitreal Bevacizumab(IVB) yapılmış olanlar grup 2 n=36(%15,1), lazer yapılmış olanlar grup 3 n=13(%5,4) ve lazer+IVB yapılmış olanlar grup 4 n=36(%15,1) olmak üzere gruplara ayrıldı. Grupların sferik eşdeğer (SE) değerleri irdelendi. Tüm ölçümler sikloplejili olarak Retinomax 3 otorefraktometre (Righton, Japonya) ile alındı. Grupların SE değerleri ile doğum haftası, doğum kilosu ve ROP evreleri arasında korelasyona analizi yapıldı.BULGULAR: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 119 olgunun ortalama gestasyonel yaşı 30.1±2.8 (23-36) hafta, ortalama doğum ağırlığı 1395±487 (520-3000)gr,ortalama küvezde kalma süresi 45.7±31 (0-175) gün idi. Grup 1’den 4’e doğru sırasıyla miyopi düzeyleri 0.019±0.2; 0.083±0.3; 0.76±1.64 ve 2.25±3.8, hipermetropi düzeyleri 2.46±1,59; 2.4±1.78; 1.41 ±1.39, ve 1.65±1.83 idi. Tedavisiz grupla karşılaştırıldığında miyopik olgularda grup 3 (p=0.12) ve grup 4 (p=0.001); hipermetropik olgularda grup 3 (p=0.02) ve grup 4 (p=0,018) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farklı idi. SE ise 2.4±4.5 (p=0.17), 1.75±1.76, (p=0,018), -1.5±5(p<0.0001) sırasıyla olarak bulunmuştur. Lazer sayısı ve 1D üstü miyopi karşılaştırıldığında 140±364- 1176±856 şut (p<0.0001) olup spot sayısı arttıkça miyopi sıklığının arttığı gözlenmiştir. Miyopi ile doğum haftası (r=-0,366, p<0,001) ve doğum kilosu (r=-0,299, p<0,001) arasında negatif korelasyon gözlenmiştir.SONUÇ: Lazer tedavisi ileri evre ROP’da regresyon sağlayabilse de miyopik yönde göz gelişimi ortadan kalkmamaktadır. Bu durum lazer gereken olguların lazer tedavisi gerekmeyenlere göre daha ileri evre ROP olguları olmalarından da kaynaklanabilir.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, especially including esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancer, are common types of cancer with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite great advances having been made for these cancers, current treatments including surgery, Radiotherapy (RT) and Chemotherapy (CT) are still far from satisfactory as these cancers are usually discovered in advanced stages that are associated with short longevity and poor outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding strands of RNA that regulate gene expression, affecting proliferation, development, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism and Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition (EMT). The miR-17-92 cluster was detected as “oncomir-1”, which is involved in the onset and progression of numerous human cancers. This review presents the recent developments in knowledge about miR-17-92 clusters for diagnosing and treating GI cancers based on genetic functions, biological phenotypes, related mechanisms, biomarkers and therapeutic perspectives, which could provide a wider horizon for future use.

Mudanças nos hábitos do controle financeiro pessoal com educação financeira sustentável
Authors: Carraro Wendy Haddad , De Andrade Lucia Medeiros
Published: February 2019

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as mudanças nos hábitos em relação ao controle financeiro pessoal, passados dois anos da participação de adultos em uma capacitação em educação financeira. Caracteriza-se como pesquisa descritiva, exploratória e qualitativa. A coleta de dados se deu através de questionário online encaminhado aos participantes de uma capacitação em educação financeira realizada dois anos antes. Os principais resultados apontam que para 79% dos respondentes, houve percepção positiva em relação à evolução de seu controle financeiro pessoal, indicando também melhora no equilíbrio financeiro. Quanto ao registro periódico dos gastos e ganhos, 71% dos participantes afirmaram realizar esta prática. A pesquisa revelou que 64% dos participantes percebeu efeitos gerados em pessoas próximas com a adoção de medidas de controle financeiro. As três principais atitudes adotadas para melhoria do processo de controle financeiro pessoal a partir da capacitação foram: realizar pesquisa de preços; evitar compras por impulso; e evitar empréstimos. Os participantes da capacitação perceberam mudanças tanto nos hábitos em relação ao controle financeiro pessoal, como também em relação ao seu perfil e estilo financeiro. Antes da capacitação, os participantes foram caracterizados com um perfil descontrolado, após os dois anos e com a adoção de práticas e controle financeiro mais efetivo, o perfil predominante passou a ser o poupador. A pesquisa evidenciou que a capacitação para adultos foi eficaz para promover a educação financeira e mudanças de hábitos de forma sustentável.

Authors: Simon Hamlet Xavier
Published: February 2019

As tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação revolucionam, a cada instante, as relações e interações entre os docentes, discentes e, especialmente, os recursos utilizados para os processos educativos. Isto não ocorre somente nos ambientes tradicionais de ensino, mas também na forma mais ubíqua de se trabalhar com o ensino-aprendizagem em rede. Destaca-se o desenvolvimento e a operacionalização de módulos educacionais em rede através da plataforma Moodle - software livre e mediador-chave de instituições de ensino superior, os quais permitem potencializar o conhecimento discente a partir da prática, da interação e da produção colaborativa. Utilizamos a pesquisa-ação educacional em cinco ciclos espiralados, acoplada à customização de tecnologias, como a inclusão de recursos educacionais específicos acessados através de dispositivos móveis. Os resultados configuram-se com o aprimoramento da prática docente e inovando-se no planejamento de disciplinas com conteúdo prático para o curso de comércio exterior. A evolução passa pela mudança na prática pedagógica, evoluindo-se do conteúdo transmitido de forma bancária, para a lógica da resolução de problemas.
Implementation of collaborative learning to enhance problem solving expertise in entropy in high school teaching
Authors: Sokrat Hafid , Tamani Soumia , Radid Mohamed
Published: February 2019

Improving problem solving abilities is a major challenge for teachers generally and mainly in chemistry and physics, Such concepts as entropy require a lot of work from bo sides, and often students and teachers feel powerless to advance in their search for expertise acquisition, In this article, we try to implement a new perspective based on the theoretical model of expertise development, Vygotsky's theory and collaborative learning. Didactic problems is not a technical issue that can be solved by introducing content changes only. In fact, didactic issues are more complex than that. We think that didactic researchers and specialists will have to react as program engineers but also as social actors able to empower the actors to be autonomous in the learning processes and the problem solving issues. Team supervises work, in Vygotsky's perspective can help students achieve their proximal zone development. The criterion referenced theory is also another important aspect in our approach, it make the focus on the criteria to be achieved on the distribution of group norms. On the other side, historical, ideological and linguistic issues cannot be missed to bring a comprehensive analysis of didactic problems.

Prevalence and Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Veterans and Active-Duty Service Members: A Systematic Review
Authors: McIngvale Elizabeth , Van Kirk Nathaniel , Amspoker Amber B. , Stanley Melinda A. , Fletcher Terri L.
Published: February 2019

The prevalence and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in veterans and active-duty military remains unclear. We systematically reviewed literature on OCD diagnosis and treatment in U.S. Veterans and active-duty military to obtain a prevalence estimate, describe treatment approaches for OCD in veterans, and evaluate use of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Eight terms were used to identify studies in PubMed, PsychINFO and SCOPUS up to March 13, 2018; additional articles were identified from reference lists of 19 included studies, 16 addressing prevalence, and 3 addressing treatment. OCD prevalence is lower in studies employing electronic medical records databases than in studies using OCD assessments, suggesting underrecognition of OCD in clinical settings. Higher prevalence was seen with OCD screening tools than with diagnostic interviews. Lower OCD prevalence was seen in active-duty individuals than in veterans. Two case studies showed a decrease in OCD symptoms following ERP. Additional studies with larger samples and controlled designs examining ERP are needed.
Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Dimensions and Insomnia: Associations Among a Treatment-Seeking Veteran Sample
Authors: Raines Amanda M. , Franklin C. Laurel , Carroll Michele N.
Published: February 2019

Sleep disturbances are a prevalent and pernicious correlate of most emotional disorders. A growing body of literature has recently found evidence for an association between sleep disturbances and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Though informative, this link has yet to be explored in a veteran population. Further, the degree to which this relationship is accounted for by relevant third variables is limited. The current study investigated the relationship between self-reported insomnia and OCD symptoms after controlling for probable depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using an unselected sample of veterans (N = 57). Most of the sample reported clinically significant OCD (61%) and insomnia symptoms (58%). Results revealed associations between insomnia and OCD unacceptable thoughts/neutralizing compulsions, but not contamination obsessions/washing compulsions, responsibility for harm obsessions/checking compulsions, or symmetry obsessions/ordering compulsions. Findings highlight the need for more research on OCD and sleep problems and clinical work focused on sleep for patients reporting increased OCD symptoms, particularly veterans.

Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Oğuzhan
Published: February 2019

Amaç: Bu çalışma, ülkemiz kesme çiçek sektörü için yeni bir tür olan protealarda yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, Gold Strike ve Safari Sunset protea çeşitlerinde uç alma ve yapraktan üre uygulamalarının bazı fenolojik, morfolojik ve verim özelliklerine etkileri incelenmiştir.Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmada Safari Sunset ve Gold Strike çeşitlerinde uç alma ve yapraktan üre uygulamaları üç yinelemeli ve her yinelemede beş bitki olacak şekilde toplam 15’şer bitkide yürütülmüştür. Uç alma uygulamalarında sürgün uzunluğu 15 cm (UA1), 20 cm (UA2) ve 25 cm (UA3) olduğunda 3’er cm’lik bir uç alma yapılmıştır. Yapraktan üre uygulamalarında %0.5 (Ü1) ve %1.0 (Ü2) dozları kullanılmıştır. Bu uygulamaların protea çeşitlerinin hasat tarihleri, çiçek sapı uzunluğu (cm) ve kalınlığı (mm), yaprak boyutlarına (eni, boyu ve alanı) ve verim özelliklerine olan etkileri incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Kırıkhan/Hatay ekolojisinde hasat tarihi Gold Strike çeşidinde 8 Aralık’ta gerçekleşirken, hasat tarihi Safari Sunset çeşidinde 22 Aralık’ta gerçekleşmiştir. Çiçek sapı uzunluğunun Safari Sunset çeşidinde (83.60 cm) Gold Strike çeşidinden (68.43 cm) daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Uç alma uygulamalarının çiçek sapı uzunluğunu azalttığı, ancak üre uygulamalarının çiçek sapı uzunluğunu arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Pazarlanabilir verim ve dekara verim üzerine çeşit, uç alma ve üre uygulamalarının istatistiksel olarak önemli etkisi tespit edilmiştir. Gold Strike çeşidinde pazarlanabilir verim ve dekara verim değerleri (23.61 adet sürgün/bitki ve 51.648 adet sürgün/ da) Safari Sunset çeşidine göre (21.68 adet sürgün/bitki ve 48.171 adet sürgün/da) daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Uç alma uygulamalarının dekara verimi kontrole göre yaklaşık %30 oranında arttırdığı saptanmıştır. En yüksek pazarlanabilir verim ve dekara verim UA3xÜ2 uygulamasından (sırasıyla, 28.24 adet sürgün/bitki ve 62.753 adet sürgün/da) elde edilmiştir.Sonuç: Gold Strike ve Safari Sunset çeşitlerinde uç alma ve üre kombinasyonlarının verim üzerine olumlu etkileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
