6. Relación docente-alumno en el proceso educativo: una reflexión epistemológica
Authors: Hernández Valderrama Ciro
Published: May 2020

El presente ensayo pretende generar  reflexiones, en atención a la relación docente-alumno y las perspectivas  epistemológicas inherentes al proceso educativo de la actualidad. Se trata de connotar el encuentro cara a cara entre los actores más importantes del acto pedagógico y  abrir la posibilidad de encontrar nacientes espacios humanos, de construcción axiológica propios de la dinámica sociocultural y la intervención científico-técnica, que opera en sintonía con los planes y formalidades del sistema, estableciendo las bases del proceso mismo. Es obvio que hay realidades escondidas en la relación docente-alumno, y  los derroteros con necesidad de develarlas se agotan en extensas lecturas hermenéuticas, provenientes de informantes y triviales procesos de triangulación. Finaliza el documento, resaltando  el proceso  de investigar como parte integrante de la comprensión de la realidad implícita, en el espacio de relaciones interpersonales escolares y en posibilidad de un acercamiento al fenómeno educativo.
1. Teorías implícitas de la creatividad construidas por docentes de didáctica de la UPEL-IPB
Authors: Carmona Pérez Pablo Antonio
Published: May 2020

El presente artículo refiere una experiencia de investigación cuyo propósito fue develar las teorías implícitas construidas por los docentes de didáctica del Departamento de Formación Docente UPEL-IPB sobre la creatividad. El trabajo es de naturaleza cualitativa apoyado en el método etnográfico. Los actores sociales comprometidos con la investigación fueron docentes de didáctica de la UPEL-IPB. Las técnicas para la producción de información fueron la observación participante, la entrevista en profundidad y los testimonios focalizados. Los hallazgos revelan cinco (5) teorías implícitas amplias sobre la creatividad, que son: Teoría de la creatividad como proceso, Teoría de la creatividad como ambiente, Teoría de la creatividad como producto, Teoría de la creatividad como persona y Teoría integral de la creatividad. En consecuencia, se puede concluir que el docente de didáctica de la UPEL-IPB ha construido inconscientemente teorías acerca de la creatividad, las cuales son un conjunto de representaciones mentales bien significativas, por cuanto configuran un bagaje de conocimientos valiosos para la comprensión de procesos relacionados con la creatividad, la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.
2. Autoconcepto y sentido de vida en universitarios con diversidad funcional motora
Authors: Solano Lixandra , Pérez Adriana
Published: May 2020

El artículo reporta los hallazgos de un estudio cualitativo que tuvo como propósito valorar el autoconcepto y el sentido de vida de estudiantes con diversidad funcional motora en la Extensión Anaco de la Universidad de Oriente. Desde el apoyo del método fenomenológico, se realizaron entrevistas profundas a cuatro informantes claves. Los hallazgos se describen a partir de la triangulación de datos y de teorías, lo que muestra que existen algunas dimensiones de autoconcepto en función de la presencia o no de diversidad y el sentido de vida entre los géneros. La presencia de la diversidad funcional parece asociada con un nivel más bajo de autoconcepto académico y emocional para el género femenino en oposición al género masculino. Existe la necesidad de integrar alguna asesoría psicológica que facilite los procesos de crecimiento personal y fomenten la estabilidad psicológica de estas personas, pues pareciera que ellas y ellos no cuentan con ese apoyo en la institución.

8. La escuela como aparato de Estado y su ideología dominante
Authors: Rodríguez Gutiérrez Willian Geovany
Published: May 2020

El presente ensayo tiene como propósito analizar el manejo ideológico de la práctica escolar desde algunas de las teorías de la educación. Se realizó un análisis para fundamentar la perspectiva teórico educativo basado en adecuadas herramientas conceptuales y críticas y de esta manera desvirtuar la ideología dominante de la escuela como aparato de Estado para así transformar la praxis y orientar las prácticas investigativas. Asimismo se afirma que dado que la escuela al ser un aparato de Estado promueve una formación al servicio de la oligarquía porque se adoctrina a las generaciones de estudiantes de tal manera que la población que se eduque se muestre en concordancia con los intereses económicos y políticos del Estado. Se concluye que el discurso pedagógico oficial obedece a los intereses de las transnacionales porque sólo tiene en cuenta las directrices que ellos establecen, por eso se desconoce el valor que debe tener la autonomía de un Estado frente a la toma de decisiones trascendentales en lo que tiene que ver con el futuro de la educación colombiana.
#Notallcops: Exploring ‘Rotten Apple’ Narratives In Media Reporting of Lush’s 2018 ‘Spycops’ Undercover Policing Campaign
Authors: Stephens Griffin Nathan
Published: May 2020

This article examines the media framing of the 2018 ‘paid to lie’ campaign of Lush, a high-street ethical cosmetics firm. The viral nature of Lush’s intervention into the undercover policing of activism in the United Kingdom highlights the significance of media reporting in the construction of narratives surrounding policing and activism. A qualitative content analysis was undertaken of articles published online in the immediate aftermath of the campaign launch. Based on this analysis, this article argues that the intensely polarised debate following Lush’s ‘paid to lie’ campaign is representative of a wider discursive framing battle that continues to persist today. Within this battle, the state and police establishment promote ‘rotten apple’ explanations of the undercover policing scandal that seek to individualise blame and shirk institutional accountability (Punch 2003). This is significant, as identifying systemic dimensions of the ‘spycops’ scandal is a key focus for activists involved in the ongoing Undercover Policing Inquiry (Schlembach 2016).
Outcomes of arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction for anterior instability with greater than 20% glenoid bone defects: are Latarjet procedures absolutely indicated for these patients?
Authors: Kim Sae Hoon , Jung Whanik , Rhee Sung-Min , Kim Ji Un , Oh Joo Han
Published: May 2020

Background: Recent studies have reported high rates of recurrence of shoulder instability in patients with glenoid bone defects greater than 20% after capsulolabral reconstruction. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the failure rate of arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction for the treatment of anterior instability in the presence of glenoid bone deficits >20%. Methods: Retrospective analyses were conducted among cases with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone defects of >20% that were treated by arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction with a minimum 2-year follow-up (30 cases). We included the following variables: age, bone defect size, instability severity index score (ISIS), on-/off-track assessment, incidence recurrent instability, and return to sports. Results: The mean glenoid bone defect size was 25.8% ± 4.2% (range, 20.4%–37.2%), and 18 cases (60%) had defects of >25%. Bony Bankart lesions were identified in 11 cases (36.7%). Eleven cases (36.7%) had ISIS scores >6 points and 21 cases (70%) had off-track lesions. No cases of recurrent instability were identified over a mean follow-up of 39.9 months (range, 24–86 months), but a sense of subluxation was reported by three patients. Return to sports at the preinjury level was possible in 24 cases (80%), and the average satisfaction rating was 92%. Conclusions: Arthroscopic soft tissue reconstruction was successful for treating anterior shoulder instability among patients with glenoid bone defects >20%, even enabling return to sports. Future studies should focus on determining the range of bone defect sizes that can be successfully managed by soft tissue repair.
Epilepsy Care in Nigeria: Factors Influencing Default
Authors: Ezunu Emmanuel Okechukwu , Owolabi Mayowa , Ogunniyi Adesola , Williams Uduak
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Epilepsy is a common cause of neurologic disability in developing countries where very few patients with the condition have organized regular follow up. This study was conducted to identify factors influencing default of adult epileptic patients in Ibadan.

Methodology: This is a prospective study of subjects with epilepsy seen at the out-patient neurology clinic, University College Hospital, Ibadan Nigeria. A total of 147 patients with epilepsy were recruited consecutively. A structured questionnaire for obtaining information on their demographic characteristics, cost of transportation, estimated distance to the clinic, monthly clinic attendance and seizure frequency was initially applied to each patient who was assigned to be seen monthly for the next six months. Those that defaulted from any subsequent visit were identified and the questionnaire was applied to obtain the reason for default from them.

Results: Male gender (p=0.0001), estimated distance (p=0.010), cost of transportation (p=0.013) and age below 40 years (p = 0.01) were identified to have influence on clinic default. But gender is the only significant predictors on clinic default at the multivariate analysis level.

Conclusions: Creating more advocacy visits on dangers of clinic default, subsidising transportation and decentralising epilepsy care may improve clinic attendance and seizure control.

Authors: Vithalani Vivek P , Shah Samipa , Patel Roshni
Published: May 2020

Introduction: India is world’s 2nd largest populated country. It is first to introduce family planning services. IUCD is most effective, safe, long acting and do not interfere with coitus. Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is a lucrative postpartum family planning method which provides effective reversible contraception to women in the delivery setting. Our aim is to study the clinical outcomes of PPIUCD insertions and compare them as a factor of route of insertion (vaginal versus caesarean).

Method: This is a prospective analytical study done in a tertiary care teaching institute. A total of 180 vaginal and caesarean deliveries with PPIUCD insertions, over 8 months period, was studied and compared for follow-up results. Outcome measures were safety (perforation, irregular bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge, and infection), efficacy (pregnancy, expulsions, and discontinuations), and incidence of undescended IUCD strings.

Results: Overall complication rates were low. No case of perforation or pregnancy was reported. Spontaneous expulsions were present in 4.4% cases and were significantly higher in vaginal insertions. The incidence of undescended strings was high (30%), with highly significant difference between both groups.

Conclusion: PPIUCD is a strong weapon in the family planning armory and should be encouraged in both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. Early follow-up should be encouraged to detect expulsions and tackle common problems.

Introduction: Dengue epidemics are a serious public health problem across the world. The recent outbreak of dengue in Kerala has shown different clinical patterns and high morbidity. This study focuses on the clinical features, laboratory investigations and outcome of dengue patients admitted in a tertiary care centre of south Kerala.

Materials & Methods: It was a cross sectional study done on the dengue cases done on 190 cases which were admitted in our hospital during the outbreak (July to august 2017).

Results: Out of the 190 patients, majority of the population were males 105(55.3%) compared to females 85(44.7%). 172(90.5%) were positive for NS1 antigen card test during admission. IgM assay was positive for 129(67.9%), 47 (24.7%) cases were referred from outside. Majority had platelet count of one lakh to 500000 62(32.6%) during admission. 116(61.1%) had altered liver function and 26(13.7%) had altered renal function. 32(16.8%) received platelet transfusion. There was a mortality rate of 14 (7.3%). There were 2 deaths reported due to subdural hematoma which was unlikely with dengue.

Conclusion: Dengue infection is increasing due to rapid urbanization and unplanned townships followed by waste disposal. Fever associated with headache, retro orbital pain, erythematous rash, conjunctival congestion and itching in palms and soles along with thrombocytopenia, Leucopenia, elevated liver transaminases should prompt a clinician on the possibility of dengue infection.

What the Buried Child Stands for: A Thematic Study of Sam Shepard’s Buried Child
Authors: Zhang Feiyue
Published: May 2020

As part of the family trilogy of Sam Shepard, Buried Child has been understood in that the corruption of the nuclear family has been identified as the theme of the play, and the guilt and the secret of this American family is the buried child who is regarded as the incestuous relationship between Halie and Tilden. This paper argues that the buried child is not only the illegitimate child in the family, but Dodge and every family member in the play. First, Shepard builds a multi-dimensional space in the play, in which the passage of time and the experience of characters are different, forming a chaos of narration. There are two main spaces represented in the play; the one is the living room, and the other is the backyard, and Dodge lying in the living room is equivalent to the secret child buried in the backyard. Second, Shepard uses a circular rather than linear movement in the play, which symbolizes that everything happened in the house is a closed story, and as one of elements in this circle, every family member becomes the buried child, or part of the buried child. Shepard titled the play with the buried child, using this image to depict the unchangeable influence of American family’s emotional and spiritual inheritance and how it will affect future generations an even deeper mystery.

Authors: Moulakdi André , Bouchamma Yamina
Published: May 2020

The professional learning community (PLC) is considered to be an effective school improvement strategy centered on student achievement. The goal of this study was to introduce the PLC approach in a few public elementary schools in Cameroon to evaluate the causal impact of this organizational model on student learning. A quasi-experimental approach was used involving an experimental group and a control group. Student pre- and post-tests were administered in two core subjects (French and mathematics) at both the beginning and the end of the first year of operation as a PLC. Our findings show a significant improvement in the students’ results between the pre- and post-test. The PLC was qualified as being in its initiation stage of development, when members focus on their students’ outcomes and collectively engage in solving the latter’s learning-related difficulties.

The Importance Of Multi-site Intra-operative Tissue Sampling In The Diagnosis Of Hip And Knee Periprosthetic Joint Infection - Results From A Single Centre Study
Authors: Walker Lucy C. , Clement Nick D. , Wilson Ian , Hashmi Munawar , Samuel Julie , Deehan David J.
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to determine whether the tissue type and anatomical location of intra-operative samples influences the accuracy of culture in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The secondary aim was to create a predictive model of PJI using other known patient variables.Methods: A retrospective cohort of 3460 intra-operative samples from 887 patients was identified. The data was then analysed to compare intra-operative culture results (positive or negative) to the chosen gold standard of clinical diagnosis made by the treating team (infected or non-infected prosthetic joint). The intra-operative samples were grouped according to their labelling at the time of collection.Results: No single tissue type or anatomical location had both high sensitivity and specificity. The highest specificity for an anatomical location was hip bursa with 100%, for tissue type it was synovium with 93%. Sensitivity was highest in the anatomical locations for hip capsule (68%) and in the tissue types for pus (83%). Data analysis was performed to create a model for PJI and identified pre-operative predictors of PJI (increased white cell count, knee joint and non-revision surgery) which when used in combination with intra-operative culture results increased the sensitivity.Conclusion: Sample type and anatomical location influenced the reliability of the diagnosis of PJI however, no single sample type had higher diagnostic accuracy than samples combined thereby highlighting the necessity of obtaining multiple intra-operative samples in the diagnosis of PJI. The variation in predictive values of tissue types as well as improvement in sensitivity when combined with patient factors indicates that types of intra-operative sampling and the overall diagnostic pathway should vary depending on the individual case.

Abstract. Introduction: Reconstruction of composite soft-tissue defects with extensor apparatus deficiency in patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the knee is challenging. We present a single-centre multidisciplinary orthoplastic treatment concept based on a retrospective outcome analysis over 20 years.Methods and Results: One-hundred sixty patients had PJI after total knee arthroplasty. Plastic surgical reconstruction of a concomitant perigenicular soft-tissue defect was indicated in 47 patients. Of these, six presented with extensor apparatus deficiency. One patient underwent primary arthrodesis and five patients underwent reconstruction of the extensor apparatus. The principle to reconstruct missing tissue 'like with like' was thereby favoured: Two patients with a wide soft-tissue defect received a free anterolateral thigh flap with fascia lata; one patient with a smaller soft-tissue defect received a free sensate, extended lateral arm flap with triceps tendon; and two patients who did not qualify for free flap surgery received a pedicled medial sural artery perforator gastrocnemius flap. Despite good functional results 1 year later, long-term follow-up revealed that two patients had to undergo arthrodesis because of recurrent infection and one patient was lost to follow-up.Conclusion: These results show that PJI of the knee and extensor apparatus deficiency is a dreaded combination with a poor long-term outcome. Standardization of surgical techniques for a defined PJI problem and consensus on study variables may facilitate interinstitutional comparisons of outcome data, and hence, improvement of treatment concepts.

Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina (SARM) es un microorganismo que coloniza las fosas nasales y diferentes partes del cuerpo, lo cual se considera un factor de riesgo para adquirir infecciones invasivas, especialmente en pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiovascular.Objetivo. Determinar la colonización nasal por SARM y establecer las características clínicas en pacientes programados para cirugía cardiovascular.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio descriptivo entre febrero y diciembre de 2015. Se incluyeron pacientes adultos programados para cirugía cardiovascular en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio de Bogotá. La colonización se identificó mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR) en tiempo real en muestras obtenidas mediante hisopados nasales. Los pacientes fueron descolonizados con mupirocina al 2,0 % intranasal dos veces al día y baños con gluconato de clorhexidina al 4 % del cuello hacía abajo durante cinco días, al cabo de lo cual se hizo una PCR de control.Resultados. Se incluyeron 141 pacientes, 52 hospitalizados y 89 ambulatorios. Del total, 19 (13,4 %) tenían colonización nasal por SARM, correspondientes a 9 (17,3 %) de los 52 hospitalizados y 10 (11,2 %) de los 89 ambulatorios. Todos los pacientes sometidos a descolonización tuvieron resultado negativo en la PCR al final del proceso y ninguno presentó infección del sitio operatorio por S. aureus.Conclusiones. Se demostró colonización nasal por SARM tanto en los pacientes hospitalizados como en los ambulatorios. La descolonización con mupirocina fue efectiva para erradicar el estado de portador a corto plazo, lo que podría tener efecto en las tasas de infección del sitio operatorio en las cirugías cardiovasculares.
“You Need to Make it as Easy as Possible for Me”: Creating Scholarly Communication Reports for Liaison Librarians
Authors: Lange Jessica , Hanson Carrie
Published: May 2020

INTRODUCTION The typical trifecta of liaison librarian positions (collections, reference, and teaching) is shifting to include additional skillsets and competencies, particularly scholarly communications. While liaison librarians adapt to these changing roles, the question of how to upskill and train liaison librarians in scholarly communications is timely and still in flux. The lack of time required to improve these competencies and skills is an oft-cited challenge. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT To address the challenge of lack of time, this article describes a pilot project undertaken with the aid of a Master of Information Studies practicum student to create scholarly  communications reports for liaison librarians. These reports provide background knowledge and discipline-specific information about the scholarly communications landscape, particularly within the institutional context. The goal of the reports is to provide liaison librarians with greater contextual knowledge of their disciplines and the publishing patterns within their departments. This article will discuss the methodology behind creating these reports as well as feedback from liaison librarians on their relevance and potential use. NEXT STEPS The initial pilot was promising, however using a practicum student to create such reports may not be sustainable. Other  possibilities include holding “research report retreats” for liaisonlibrarians to complete their own reports with a scholarly  communications expert on hand. Additionally, institutions without a master’s program in library and information studies could consider the creation and updating of such reports as a backup project for existing fulltime or student staff.

Aims: The study is intended to compare the freshly collected henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) and the market henna in term of microscopical key elements and heavy metals contamination.  Moreover, this study is aimed to investigate the effect of henna and its oily additives on kidney histology in female mice.

Study Design: Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Tripoli and Animals House, Biotechnology Research Center in 2010.

Methodology: The powders of collected and market henna have been subjected to a microscopical study with magnification of 5x then 40 x to investigate the henna key elements, which are calcium oxalate clusters, anomocytic stomata, starch grains and fibers. Three elements: arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pd) were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAs) for the collected and market henna. For histopathological study, an aqueous extracts of L. inermis leaves and L. inermis leaves-oils were prepared by maceration. Eighteen female Albino Wister mice (3-4-months, 20-25 gm) were injected with the prepared extracts subcutaneously by dose 50 ml/kg/day for 5 days. Kidneys were collected and subjected to histopathological study.

Results: From this study, the microscopical investigation exhibited the presence of some elements which are never mentioned as the henna key elements. Both market and collected henna were contaminated with a high level of heavy metals specially lead (Pd). The histopathological findings implied that there are many histological changes on the kidney tissues such as aggregation of round cells and congestion of blood vessels.

Conclusion: The market henna might be adulterated with other types of plant. The presence of a high concentration of lead (Pd) in the collected henna as well as the market henna might be considered as the cause of some L. inermis adverse effects. L. inermis leaves and L. inermis leaves-oils aqueous extracts implied many abnormalities in the kidney tissues.

To increase the genetic progress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield, breeders search for germplasm of high genetic diversity, one of them is the landraces. The present study aimed at evaluating genetic diversity of 20 Egyptian wheat landraces and two cultivars using microsatellite markers (SSRs). Ten SSR markers amplified a total of 27 alleles in the set of 22 wheat accessions, of which 23 alleles (85.2%) were polymorphic. The majority of the markers showed high polymorphism information content (PIC) values (0.67-0.94), indicating the diverse nature of the wheat accessions and/or highly informative SSR markers used in this study. The genotyping data of the SSR markers were used to assess genetic variation in the wheat accessions by dendrogram. The highest genetic distance was found between G21 (Sakha 64; an Egyptian cultivar) and the landrace accession No. 9120 (G11). These two genotypes could be used as parents in a hybridization program followed by selection in the segregating generations, to identify some transgressive segregates of higher grain yield than both parents. The clustering assigned the wheat genotypes into four groups based on SSR markers. The results showed that the studied SSR markers, provided sufficient polymorphism and reproducible fingerprinting profiles for evaluating genetic diversity of wheat landraces. The analyzed wheat landraces showed a good level of genetic diversity at the molecular level. Molecular variation evaluated in this study of wheat landraces can be useful in traditional and molecular breeding programs.

Heavy metal pollution in wastewater has always been a serious environmental problem because heavy metals are not biodegradable and can be accumulated in living tissues. Copper is widely used in various important industrial applications. The increasing level of heavy metals in the aquatic system due to incomplete treatment of industrial wastewater by existing conventional methods is of environmental concern. Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in the possibility of using biological treatments. It is important to evaluate the performance of biomass with actual industrial effluent to ensure its field applicability. Hence the experiments were conducted with actual industrial effluents collected from Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and tannery industry.
