Jesus wept, robots can’t
Authors: Gill Sam D.
Published: December 2020

Exploring the implications of the shortest of biblical verses ‘Jesus wept’ in contrast with the incapability of robots to weep or feel empathy and emotion as exemplified in the classic post-apocalyptic film Terminator 2, this essay argues that movement, gesture, body, experience and improvization are essential elements to any emerging valued world. Certainly religion, despite our strong association of it with the spiritual and the immaterial, does not and cannot exist, or even be imagined, apart from these distinctively human biological features. The study of religion must be, among other concerns, grounded in biology.

KURTULUŞ ORDUSU ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: POLAT Bayram , ÖNER Yasin
Published: December 2020

Kurtuluş Ordusu’nun kurucusu William Booth, başlangıçta Metodist Kiliselerde vaazlar vermiş, daha sonra bu kiliseden ayrılarak “Hıristiyan Misyonu” adında sosyal ve dini bir oluşum meydana getirmiştir. Bu hareket, 1878 yılında “Kurtuluş Ordusu” adını almıştır. Çok sayıda ülkede teşkilatlanan Kurtuluş Ordusu yaşlı, kadın, çocuk bakım evleri kurmuş, bunların yanı sıra yardım organizasyonları, mahkûmların ıslahı, doğal afetler, insan kaçakçılığı ile mücadele ve mültecilere yapılan yardımlarla hem lokal hem de uluslararası düzeyde ilgi çekmeye ve itibarını artırmaya devam etmektedir. Kurtuluş Ordusu’nun bulunduğu her bölgede, bölgesel karargâh olarak bilinen bir yönetim merkezi mevcuttur. Karargâhlar, Londra’daki uluslararası karargâhtaki bölge komutanı tarafından yönetilmektedir. Küçük bölgeler albaylar, daha büyük bölgeler ise komiserler tarafından yönetilmektedir. Episkopal bir yapı taşıması sebebiyle Katolik Kilisesi’ni andıran Kurtuluş Ordusu, inanç noktasında bu kilise ile aynı inançları kabul etmektedir. Ayrıca hareket, Protestan ve Evanjelik bir kilise görünümüne sahip olmasına rağmen, sakramentlere farklı açıdan yaklaşmaktadır. Bu araştırmada Kurtuluş Ordusu’nun tarihi, teşkilat yapısı, faaliyetleri, inanç esasları ve uygulamaları ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Bahsi geçen hususlar aktarılırken önem sırasına göre deskiriptif, karşılaştırma ve kronolojik yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca literatür taraması yapılmış ve Kurtuluş Ordusu’nun ortaya çıkış dönemine ait çeşitli kaynaklar ve özellikle bizzat kendilerine ait olanlar incelenmiştir.

Aim. To assess the potential of stress tomographic radionuclide ventriculography (T-RVG) in long-term prognosis of left ventricular (LV) re-remodeling after surgery of ischemic cardiomyopathy.Material and methods. Thirty patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, before surgical treatment, underwent resting T-RVG and with increasing doses of dopamine (5/10/15 pg/kg/min (5 min/dose). All patients underwent two-dimensional echocardiography before surgery, in the short- (7-14 days) and long-term postoperative period. In the long-term postoperative period (476±36 days), the patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=19) — patients with ongoing LV remodeling (increase in the LV end-systolic volume (ESV) or decrease <10% relatively short-term postoperative period), group 2 (n=11) — patients with decreased LV ESV >10%.Results. The results revealed significant differences between the groups in the dynamics (Δ) of the LV ejection fraction (EF) (%) (2 (2;8); 11 (5;12), p=0,02), peak ejection rate (%) (32 (14;51); 63 (34;79), p=0,009), LV dyssynchrony (PSDo (3 (0;7); -2 (-9;3), p=0,004); Entropy (%) (2 (-1;6); 0 (-4;2), p=0,01)). Univariate regression showed that ΔLVEF (odds ratio (OR), 0,88; confidence interval (CI), 0,8; 0,97; p=0.008), ΔLVPSD (OR, 1,13; CI, 1,03; 1,25; p=0,005), and coronary stenosis >75% (OR, 4,25; CI, 1,57; 11,48; p=0,001) had a predictive value. According to the ROC-analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 87%, 64% and 0,727 for ΔLVPSD (threshold >-1); 84%, 46% and 0,691 for coronary stenosis >75% >75% (threshold >2); 65%, 82% and 0,674 for ΔLVEF (threshold ≤4), respectively. The logistic model, which included these parameters and the presence of diabetes, showed a significantly greater AUC (0,907, p<0,05) compared with these indicators taken separately.Conclusion. Preoperative values of ΔLVEF and ΔLVPSD obtained with stress T-RVG have prognostic significance in relation to LV long-term re-remodeling.
Epistemic Argumentation Framework: Theory and Computation
Authors: Sakama Chiaki , Son Tran Cao
Published: December 2020

The paper introduces the notion of an epistemic argumentation framework (EAF) as a means to integrate the beliefs of a reasoner with argumentation. Intuitively, an EAF encodes the beliefs of an agent who reasons about arguments. Formally, an EAF is a pair of an argumentation framework and an epistemic constraint. The semantics of the EAF is defined by the notion of an ω-epistemic labelling set, where ω is complete, stable, grounded, or preferred, which is a set of ω-labellings that collectively satisfies the epistemic constraint of the EAF. The paper shows how EAF can represent different views of reasoners on the same argumentation framework. It also includes representing preferences in EAF and multi-agent argumentation. Finally, the paper discusses complexity issues and computation using epistemic logic programming.

Published: December 2020

Antecedentes: La calidad de vida de las personas cuidadoras está condicionada por varios factores:el contexto del cuidador, el grado de dependencia del familiar, el tipo de enfermedad, los elementos mediadores (soporte formal de la administración e informal, familiares y amigos). Todo lo anterior demuestra la necesidad de implantar actuaciones encaminadas a apoyar a los cuidadores. Por ello, desde el año 2011, y gracias a la participación de un grupo multidisciplinario de profesionales: enfermería, trabajador social y fisioterapeuta, se decidió elaborar un taller para cuidadores de la zona básica de salud de Carbajales de Alba (Zamora), el 63% de la población son mayores de 75 años con grandes problemas de dependencia. Objetivos: reducir la sobrecarga del cuidador y mejorar su salud. Ofrecerles un programa que combine soporte emocional, educacional y recursos sociales Método: la captación se hace a través de la consulta de enfermería a demanda/programada y trabajador social. Se realiza una vez al año, 3 sesiones de 2 horas de duración. Contenidos formativos: cuidar al que cuida; síndrome del cuidador, alimentación, higiene, prevención de ulceras por presión y caídas, Recursos sociosanitarios, Ley de Dependencia, Catalogo de material orto protésico, ayudas técnicas, aspectos legales, técnicas de movilización y cuidados básicos de la espalda, ejercicios de relajación. Actividades: exposición de los temas anteriormente citados, con apoyo de material audiovisual, y ejercicios prácticos. Participantes: han participado 60 cuidadores, de edades comprendidas entre 46 y 77 años, 50 mujeres y 10 hombres.

Introducción: El aumento de la población de personas mayores, añadido al aumento de pluripatología y polifarmacia, hace cada vez más frecuente su ingreso en los hospitales. Objetivos: Establecer el perfil del paciente geriátrico mayor de 75 años, con pluripatología y atendido en la Unidad de Medicina Interna del Hospital Virgen de la Concha. Analizar los resultados de la valoración funcional a través de la escala Barthel. Identificar la situación social a través de la escala Gijón. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo en la unidad de hospitalización de medicina interna a lo largo de un año. Análisis descriptivo de variables: demográficas (edad, sexo); capacidad funcional y la valoración social. Los datos obtenidos del aplicativo informático Gacela Care. Resultados: Se realizaron 1285 ingresos, con una media de edad de 78 años. Se obtuvo una muestra de 915 pacientes ≥75años, con una media de edad de 85,9±5,4años (75-101), moda 89 y mediana 86 años. El 43,5% son ≥85años. 53,11% mujeres y 46,88% hombres. Estancia media de hospitalización 7,4±5,2días (0-66). Valoración de dependencia: 38,57% con dependencia total (62,32% mujeres);9,61% dependencia grave (54,54% mujeres); 15,19% dependencia moderada (54,67% mujeres); 26,22% dependencia leve (47,08% mujeres); 10,38% independientes (30,56% mujeres). Situación social: 28,80%sin riesgo (64,63%mujeres); 60,30%situación social buena (47,37%mujeres); 6,2% situación social media (56,60%mujeres); y el 4,68% deterioro social severo (52,5% mujeres) Conclusiones: El perfil de los pacientes estudiados se aproxima al de “paciente geriátrico”. El mayor porcentaje presenta un nivel de dependencia total, provocando mayor demanda de cuidados y de recursos. Existen pocos pacientes con deterioro social severo. Hay un mayor número de pacientes  dependientes totales sin institucionalizar. Por lo que la carga de cuidados de estos pacientes la realizan familiares desde el domicilio, justificando la importancia de la valoración de los cuidadores y evaluación de los recursos referidos a la sobrecarga de familias y cuidador principal.

Authors: Tsimashenka N.
Published: December 2020

The author of the article explores the use of comparative constructions in the language of Belarusian proverbs and sayings, which are the soul of the Belarusian people, the basis of their culture. Comparative constructions are characterized on the morphological and syntactic level. Within the framework of morphology, comparative forms are considered as a variant of the all-union introduction of comparison into the composition of a sentence. This can be an adjective, adverb word or impersonal predicative word in the degree of comparison, or the word form in the instrumental case, which conveys a comparative meaning. At the syntactic level, the system of comparative constructions in paremic texts is represented by various groups: comparisons that are part of the predicate, actual comparisons, comparative expressions and comparative parts of a complex sentence. The author concludes that comparative constructions are characterized by their brightness, depth, and capacity of artistic generalization; therefore, the comparison has a great emotional impact.

Formalismo e segurança jurídica no Direito Tributário: por que ainda somos formalistas
Authors: Paula Daniel Giotti de
Published: December 2020

Resumo: O senso comum na prática jurídica tem criticado o formalismo, como uma atitude mecânica de interpretação e aplicação do Direito, que não se afinaria com as atuais necessidades da sociedade. No caso do Direito Tributário, porém, existe uma longa tradição de valorização da certeza e da tipicidade cerrada, que redundaria na defesa da dignidade das regras jurídicas e na tomada da segurança como bem jurídico de especial proteção para os contribuintes. Isso leva a que a dogmática tributária tradicional aceite, em algum grau, as quatro teses principais do formalismo jurídico: restrição judicial, determinação, conceitualismo e amoralidade da adjudicação. Tais teses que constituem o núcleo do formalismo são tipos ideias, pois não são vetores que informar a interpretação e aplicação do Direito Tributário em todas as situações. Este artigo, ao contrário das tendências de apoiar e desaprovar o formalismo tributário, coloca-o em discussão, para concluir um pouco de formalismo ainda existe e é esperado na interpretação e aplicação do Direito Tributário, propondo, afinal, que fiscais e julgadores se valham do que se nomeia como formalismo moderado na solução de conflitos.Palavras-chave: formalismo, segurança jurídica, direito tributário, teoria da decisão.Abstract: Common sense in legal practice has criticised formalism, as a mechanical attitude of interpretation and application of law, which would not be tuned to the current needs of society. In the case of tax law, however, there is a long tradition of valuing the certainty and the close typicality, which would make the defense of the dignity of the legal rules and the taking of security as a legal right of special protection for taxpayers. This leads to the traditional tax dogmatic accepted, to some degree, the four main theses of legal formalism: judicial restriction, determination, conceptualism and amorality of the award. These theses that constitute the nucleus of formalism are ideas types, because they are not vectors that inform the interpretation and application of tax law in all situations. This article, unlike the tendencies to support and disapprove of tax formalism, puts it into discussion, to conclude a little formalism still exists and is expected in the interpretation and application of tax law, proposing, after all, that tax and Judges are worth what they appoint as moderate formalism in resolving conflicts.Keywords: formalism, legal certainty, tax law, decision theory.

İslam’ın tebliğ faaliyetlerini evrensel boyuta taşımaya karar veren Hz. Muhammed, Hudeybiye Barış Antlaşması’nın imzalanmasının hemen akabinde komşu devletlere ve Arap Yarımadası’ndaki bazı kabilelere İslam’a davet mektupları göndermiştir. Hz. Peygamber, bu özel görev ve davetler için temsil yeteneği yüksek ve donanımlı sahabileri seçmiştir. Seçilen Bu bu elçilerden birisi de Busra emirine gönderilen Hâris b. Umeyr el-Ezdî’dir. Davetçi ve diplomat misyonuyla gönderilen elçilerin hepsi görevlerini ifa edip geri dönmüş fakat Hâris b. Umeyr, Hz. Peygamber’in mektubunu muhatabına ulaştıramadan çıktığı yolda şehit edilmiştir. İslam daveti uğrunda şehit edilen ilk elçi olmasına rağmen, ilk dönem İslam tarihi kaynaklarında hakkında yeteri kadar bilgi verilmediği gibi benzer şekilde günümüzdeki akademik çalışmalarda da kendisinden çok fazla söz edilmediği görülmektedir. Bu makale, Hâris b. Umeyr hakkında bazı tespit ve tahlillerde bulunmayı; ayrıca genel olarak İslam Tarihi araştırmaları, özel olarak da henüz gelişme aşamasında olan İslâm diplomasi çalışmalarına katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Authors: ULUKAYA ÖTELEŞ Ülkü
Published: December 2020

Günümüzde siyasal, sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik sebeplerle yapılan göçler demografik yapıyı da etkilemiştir. Böylelikle farklı dile, dine ve ırka mensup bireylerin birlikte yaşaması kaçınılmaz bir durum haline gelmiş, dünya ülkeleri küreselleşmeye başlamıştır. Bu durum dünyanın pek çok ülkesinde kozmopolit bir yapı ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu yapı çok kültürlülük olarak da ifade edilmektedir. Çok kültürlülük aynı toplum içerisinde farklı kültürel grupların bir arada yaşaması olarak tanımlanabilir. Böylesi bir yapıya sahip toplumlarda farklı kültürlere yönelik ön yargılar, olumsuz tutum ve davranışlar çeşitli sorunlara yol açabilir. Bu sorunların çözümüne yönelik atılacak önemli adımlardan birisi bireylere küçük yaşlardan itibaren verilecek çok kültürlü eğitimdir. Çok kültürlülük kavramının eğitim boyutunu yansıtan çok kültürlü eğitim; farklı ırk, etnik yapı ve sosyal gruplardan oluşan tüm öğrenciler için eğitim imkânlarının eşit olmasını, öğrencilerin işbirliği içerisinde çalışmasını ve farklı kültürlere karşı empati yeteneği geliştirebilmesini savunan bir eğitim yaklaşımıdır. Çok kültürlülüğün eğitim ve öğretim sürecine yansıtılabileceği en temel derslerden biri Sosyal Bilgiler dersidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı yenilenen Sosyal Bilgiler öğretim programında çok kültürlü eğitim anlayışının yer alma durumunu ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın verilerinin toplanmasında nitel araştırma yöntemlerinde doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda 2017 yılında yayımlanıp 2018 yılında tekrar revize edilen Sosyal Bilgiler öğretim Programı incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları yenilenen Sosyal Bilgiler öğretim programında çok kültürlü eğitime ilişkin kavramlara, ifadelere yer verildiğini göstermektedir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, eğitim fakültesinde yer alan herhangi bir yükseköğretim programına yerleşen öğrencilerin meslek seçimlerinde etkili olan faktörler ve öğrenim gördükleri programdan memnuniyet düzeylerinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesinin farklı lisans programlarına yerleşen 424öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verilerinin toplanması amacıyla, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan, öğrencilerin öğrenim gördükleri programı tercihlerinde etkili olan faktörlere ilişkin soruların ve öğrenim gördükleri programdan memnuniyetlerini belirten bir skalanın yer aldığı anket formu kullanılmıştır. Tercih faktörlerine ilişkin verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiklerden yararlanılmış ve tercih faktörlerinde cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık olup olmadığı ki-kare testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Öğrenim görülen programdan memnuniyet düzeyinde gruplar arası farkların anlamlılığı için bağımsız gruplar t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda tercihlerde etkili olan faktörlerin sırasıyla; mesleğe olan ilgi, yeteneğine uygun olduğu düşüncesi, cinsiyete uygunluk, sınav puanı, mezun olduktan sonra iş bulma imkanı ve aile faktörleri olduğu görülmektedir. Tercih faktörleri arasında sadece cinsiyete uygunluk faktörüne ilişkin yanıtlarda kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin öğrenim gördükleri lisans programından memnuniyet düzeylerinde cinsiyet ve öğrenim gördükleri programa göre anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu görülmektedir. Buna göre kız öğrencilerin memnuniyet düzeyleri, erkek öğrencilere göre daha yüksektir; Güzel Sanatlar Eğitimi Programı öğrencilerinin memnuniyet düzeyleri diğer programlarda öğrenim gören öğrencilerden daha yüksektir.
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EFFICIENT T-TYPE STRAINER WITH ITS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Authors: MAHAJAN Gaurav , MAURYA Ram Subhash
Published: December 2020

Strainers are devices used in process industry to protect mechanical equipment from getting damaged due the impurities in process fluid. Hence, performance of a strainer has a direct impact on the performance of the process plant. Present work deals with a methodology to model a T-type strainer using CFD tools, investigating its performance, proposing more efficient model and investigating their performance. Numerical model compares well with the experimental data. Five modifications in the existing strainer are proposed by introducing additional punch plate ahead of meshing element. Another significant modification proposed is creating offset across strainer for inlet and outlet of flow. These arrangement increases the net pressure drop across strainer but significantly improves the flow distribution for longer life of the strainer. Increasing body size of strainer and hole of the punch plate is found to reduce the impact of increased pressure drop. These conclusions are important for improving and redesigning an efficient T-strainer.

Published: December 2020

This paper introduces a novel class of probability distributions called normal-tangent-G, whose submodels are parsi- monious and bring no additional parameters besides the baseline’s. We demonstrate that these submodels are iden- tiﬁable as long as the baseline is. We present some properties of the class, including the series representation of its probability density function (pdf) and two special cases. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to study the behav- ior of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the parameters for a particular submodel. We also perform an application of it to a real dataset to exemplify the modelling beneﬁts of the class.
A review on lymphoedema – causes, confusions and complications
Authors: K Kaviarasan P , PVS Prasad , K Kannambal
Published: December 2020

Lymphoedema is a chronic, progressive debilitating disorder of lymphoreticular system, characterized by abnormal collection of excessive proteins, oedema, chronic inflammation and fibrosis.

Primary lymphoedema, associated with underlying, but inherent malfunction of lymphatic channels, unilateral or bilateral. It can be further subdivided in to congenital lymphoedema, lymphoedema praecox and lymphoedema tarda. Depends on the age of onset or manifestation. Another genetic disorder of lymphatic dysfunction is Milroy disease. It is an autosomal dominant condition due to VEGFR3 mutation characterised by lymphatic hypoplasia. Secondary lymphoedemas are more frequent than primary to dysfunction of lymphatics. Mostly localised, follwing recurrent infections, trauma, surgery, obesity and malignancy.

Inadequate drainage of lymphatics, leads to accumulation of lymph, interstitial fluid and proteins in skin and subcutaneous tissue. Elastic tissue disruption, fibroblast stimulation occurs and the resulting hypoxia causes chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Later adipocyte remodelling occurs and proinflammatory cytokines secreted.

Starts as pitting non tender pedal oedema, later skin thickening and fibrosis which results in non-pitting oedema. Squared off appearance and Kaposi Stemmer sign are characteristic features. May develop lymphorrhoea and secondary infections may supervene. Chronic venous insufficiency, lipoedema, myxedema.

Vicious cycle of infections and lymphedema.

Lymphoscintigraphy, lymphoflouroscopy- gold standard.

Depends on severity. Pneumatic compression garments, Low level light therapy (LLLT), Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Advanced stages may require surgical debulking, lymphatic reconstruction. But the results are mostly unsatisfactory, recurrences are inevitable. Combined multi-disciplinary approaches will be helpful and that should be continued throughout their life.

La presente investigación explora las redes de solidaridad entre Francia y América Latina entre las décadas de 1970 y 1980, cuando esta última sufrió gobiernos dictatoriales. A partir del hallazgo de la colección de carteles de la Biblioteca Pierre Monbeig (iheal, París), este artículo muestra las posibilidades del cartel como fuente para el estudio de estas redes. Desde la historia y los estudios visuales, el cartel revela la extensa constelación de entidades implicadas, desde las altas esferas oficiales, hasta los grupos “desde abajo”. Probamos que París es un laboratorio para cuestionar lo local y lo global, donde la colaboración y la negociación se despliegan por encima de fronteras nacionales. Los carteles revelan las coyunturas, redes y prácticas de la solidaridad, y más allá, permiten indagar en la existencia de una “cultura visual” transnacional.

BACKGROUND Imaging plays a major role in the diagnosis and management of patients with urolithiasis. Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) is generally accepted as the gold standard, but there are concerns over higher radiation exposure from NCCT to the patient population. Our prospective study compared the diagnostic accuracy of plain X-ray KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) and USG (Ultrasonography) with NCCT in the evaluation of patients with ureteric colic. METHODS This study conducted from December 2018 to January 2020 in the Department of Urology, Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, and attached Hospital. 230 patients with ureteric colic were evaluated for ureteric calculi with x-ray KUB, USG (Ultrasonography) abdomen and pelvis and NCCT (Non-Contrast Computed Tomography) KUB region. RESULTS Out of 230 patients, 168 (73 %) were males and 62 (26.9 %) were females. Ages of the study population ranged from 18 to 55 yrs. 198 of the 230 patients were confirmed to have ureteric calculus, with lower ureteric calculus 97 (48.9 %), upper ureteric 65 (32.8 %), middle ureteric 29 (14.6 %), and multiple 7 (3.5 %). X-ray and USG (Ultrasonography) group yielded a sensitivity of 86.3 %, a specificity of 87.5 %, positive predictive value 97 %, and negative predictive value 51 %. While On NCCT (Non-Contrast Computed Tomography), a total of 192 patients (96 %) demonstrated ureterolithiasis of the 198 patients confirmed to have ureteric calculi (Table 2). X-ray and USG group yielded a sensitivity of 96.9 %, specificity of 93.6 %, positive predictive value 98.9 %, and negative predictive value 83 %. CONCLUSIONS Combination of x-ray KUB and USG, and NCCT were found to be excellent imaging modalities for the detection of ureteric calculi. X-ray KUB and USG can be used as the first investigation of choice for patients with ureteric colic and for follow up of patients after treatment.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Ultrasonography (US) has become popular in the present day practice in the evaluation of breast lesions. The USG findings can be supplemented by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and correlation between the two diagnostic modalities can help improve the diagnosis. We wanted to study the ultrasonographic features of breast lumps and to correlate the findings with fine needle aspiration cytology. METHODS This was a prospective study done on 55 patients of breast lumps who attended the ultrasound at department of Radiology, Maheshwara Medical College, Patancheru, Hyderabad, Telangana over a period of eight months. RESULTS Majority of the cases were reported as Benign i.e., 81.8 % (45 / 55), 12.7 % (07 / 55) constituted Malignant cases. Suspicious of malignancy in 5.4 % (03 / 55) cases. Most of the benign lesions were noted in the 20 - 50 years age group while malignant lesions were observed between 41 years to more than 60 years of age. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of ultrasonography and FNAC in diagnosing breast lesions were 87.5 %, 93.6 %, 70 %, and 97.7 % respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasonography is a primary imaging technique for evaluation of breast lumps and has good sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for diagnosing breast lesions. It is complementary to FNAC and when both modalities are used together they can diagnose majority of the lesions. This can reduce the radiation exposure and the more invasive and expensive breast biopsy procedure. KEYWORDS USG, Breast Lesions, FNAC, BIRADS

BACKGROUND Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit which occurs in adolescent age groups. Physical and psychological scars can create social issues in the family, school and workplace. The disorder is multifactorial. There are plenty of recovery choices but are not satisfactory. We wanted to investigate the serum zinc levels and the therapeutic utility of oral zinc supplementation in acne vulgaris patients. METHODS This is a prospective study conducted over a period of one and a half years among one hundred acne patients who reported to the outpatient clinic of the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology with untreated patients of acne vulgaris. RESULTS Males were 65 % and females were 35 % with male : female ratio of 6.5 : 3.5. Most of the patients were students occupying 71 % of the study. Family history was observed in 46 % of patients, either in the siblings or in the parents. Premenstrual flare-up of acne lesions was noted in 71.42 % of female patients indicating a pivotal role of hormones in the pathogenesis of acne. Aggravation of lesions in summer was noted in 45 % of patients. Aggravation of acne lesions with different types of diet like non-vegetarian food, oily food and chocolates was noticed in 69 % of the study. History of usage of different types of cosmetics available in the market was noted in 76 % of the patients. In the present study, 62 % had lower than normal serum zinc levels and 38 % had normal serum zinc levels. Thus, serum zinc levels were found to be lower in both male and female acne patients in the majority (62 %) of the study patients and also normal healthy controls. The fasting serum zinc levels in the 62 patients before and after oral zinc sulphate were estimated after completion of 3 months treatment. Normal serum zinc levels were observed in all 62 patients treated. CONCLUSIONS Oral zinc sulphate is an effective, safe and economic remedy in the treatment of acne vulgaris. The extra advantage with oral zinc sulphate is that it is devoid of many adverse reactions commonly seen after prolonged use of systemic antibiotics. KEYWORDS Oral Zinc Sulphate, Acne Vulgaris

BACKGROUND The diagnostic yield of thoracoscopy is 95 %, of pleural fluid cytology it is 62 % and of closed pleural biopsy is 44 %, in malignant effusion. We wanted to study the diagnostic utility of flexible thoracoscopy in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion and compare the thoracoscopy findings with the histopathology results. METHODS The study was conducted in the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai, from January 2019 to January 2020. 40 patients were enrolled in this longitudinal observational study with moderate to massive effusion and were evaluated with pleural fluid aspiration and sent for cytology, protein sugar analysis, total count, and ADA. Those cases which are exudative pleural effusions, with ADA value of less than 40 IU / L were subjected to thoracoscopy after being evaluated for fitness for thoracoscopy with complete blood count, bleeding time, clotting time, sputum for AFB, ECG, pulse oximetry, cardiac evaluation and CT chest. RESULTS Thoracoscopy was done in 40 enrolled patients. In this study, biopsy was taken from the parietal pleura in all the cases. Of these 40 cases, 30 were male and 10 were female, that is 75 % males and 25 % females. The mean age of the study population was 43 ± 14.9. Patient with the lowest age in this study group was 18 years and highest was 71 years. 16 cases (40 %) presented with left sided pleural effusion. 24 cases (60 %) presented with right sided pleural effusion. 30 cases presented with massive effusion, and 10 cases with moderate effusion. Of the 40 cases, 27 cases presented with straw coloured pleural effusion. 13 cases were haemorrhagic effusion. Histopathologic examination showed 11 cases as malignant and 29 cases as non-malignant out of which 18 cases were of tuberculosis aetiology. Thoracoscopy revealed adhesions in 13 cases and mass lesion in 4 cases. Of the 4 mass lesions 3 came as malignant, normal pleura in 11 cases, 10 were non-malignant and 1 was malignant. Nodules were seen in 12 cases of which 7 came as malignant. Straw coloured effusion was seen in 27 cases, of which 2 were malignant. CONCLUSIONS The most important indication for thoracoscopy is exudative undiagnosed pleural effusion. The overall diagnostic yield in pleural fluid cytology is 62 % and blind pleural biopsy is 44 %. The diagnostic yield of thoracoscopy varies from 60 % to 97 % in various studies, whereas, in our study, it is 72.5 %. Visualization of the visceral and parietal pleura is another advantage, so that we can take biopsy from the abnormal areas. KEYWORDS Flexible Thoracoscopy, Undiagnosed Exudative Pleural Effusion

Políticas de innovación inclusiva y tensiones en torno a su implementación y evaluación en Colombia: el caso de A Ciencia Cierta
Authors: Pinzón Mario Andrés , Centeno Juan Pablo
Published: December 2020

La noción de innovación inclusiva es de creciente interés en la literatura y la política públicas. Sin embargo, su definición y operacionalización conceptual son aún insuficientes, y sus retos y alcances poco explorados. En este artículo indagamos sobre las características de las políticas de innovación inclusiva en Colombia, y las tensiones para su implementación y evaluación. A partir del caso de A Ciencia Cierta, programa de Colciencias, examinamos el concepto de innovación inclusiva desde una aproximación conceptual tentativa, basada en seis dimensiones: insumos, involucramiento, resultados, gobernanza, espacio y conocimiento. Los hallazgos sustancian dichas dimensiones y sugieren una heurística operacional para aproximarse al carácter coevolutivo de las políticas de innovación inclusiva. Finalmente, proponemos algunas líneas de investigación futura, relativas a la viabilidad de estas políticas.

Authors: Bolaños-Garita Rolando
Published: December 2020

Este ensayo es resultado del proyecto matriculado ante la Comisión de Investigación y Extensión, Escuela de Ciencias de la Administración, en la Universidad Estatal a Distancia en Costa Rica (UNED), según código P2018-015, cuyo principal derrotero fue escudriñar la realidad del esquema administrativo- presupuestario costarricense, conforme sus factores consustanciales y condicionantes más próximos en el panorama internacional. A partir de un abordaje cualitativo, de descripciones e inferencias surgidas a la luz del primero, se logra determinar que Costa Rica cuenta con un arsenal de elementos históricos, legales, jurisprudenciales y metodológicos que, a pesar de las cargas presupuestarias impuestas para los destinos específicos actuales, le permiten enrumbar la maquinaria programática al cumplimiento del desarrollo nacional.

En el Sistema General de Regalías, uno de los mayores problemas tiene que ver con el proceso de toma de decisiones a la hora de presentar propuestas y distribuir recursos. Uno de los casos críticos se sitúa en el Fondo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, donde se evidencia baja transparencia y alta discrecionalidad en el momento de la toma de decisiones de los proyectos que se van a presentar (postular) en el departamento del Magdalena. En ese marco se examina, a través de un diseño metodológico mixto, la incidencia de la discrecionalidad en la toma de decisiones a la luz del principio del buen gobierno que inspira al Sistema.
