The present paper explores the methods for effective mastering the past tense relying on an activity-based approach following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The aim of the research is to facilitate the teaching and revising the grammar material on the past simple (indefinite) tense, the past continuous (progressive) tense, and the past perfect tense in the process of training undergraduates, Ph.D. students, academic and clinical teachers at a medical university. The results of the research have been integrated into the 1st edition of “Medical English for Academic Purposes” (2018) and “Medical English for Public Health Purposes” (2021). The authors developed the methodological mechanisms to support courses in professional English at higher medical educational institutions through an activity-based approach, which ensures the effective acquisition of a foreign language, promotes the formation of a linguistic personality capable not only of communicating in all areas, but also of successful integration into the international community. The paper provides a wide range of scaffolding activities and methods: using visuals (graphic organizers, charts, etc.), selecting historically meaningful texts, peer-to-peer talk, strategic pairings, “real-life tasks” and modelling situations, the “fishbowl” model and others. The suggested methodological algorithm is feasible for both oral and written communication, reading and listening comprehension activities, group work, individual and self-directed work in class, as well as for in-class or self-paced learning, depending on the features of the curriculum and students’ English proficiency. The receptive aspect of teaching is represented by read-and-translate exercises, targeted texts describing significant events in the history of medicine, as well as true-false exercises to check students’ comprehension. Meanwhile, the reproductive aspect of teaching covers exercises involving opening the brackets, filling the blanks, as well as creating negative and interrogative forms of verbs. Eventually, the productive aspect of teaching is ensured by a wide range of creative speaking and writing activities and “real-life tasks”, aimed at developing students’ communicative competence in English for Professional Purposes (in-class speaking activities (peer-to-peer talk, class discussion). In addition, collecting family history is yet another pragmatically feasible task to revise and study past tenses. The application of an activity-based approach to teaching the past tenses at a medical university is highly effective to foster essential job-related skills, experience and professional readiness. The authors believe that this, in turn, will promote academic mobility and scientific cooperation, thus contributing to the development of higher medical education in Ukraine, which renders the research relevant.

Peripheral lymphoid organs respond immediately to a decrease in the body's defence responses, and their localisation and morphological specificity account for their active involvement in immunogenesis (especially in animals). This fact accentuates the morpho-functional estimation of the lymphoid tissue condition with the purpose of timely diagnostics of starting deviations and preventing the development of decompensated changes. Thus, the analysis of histological changes of the latter in natural and experimental prototypes of babesiosis is relevant. The aim of the research is to define the role of histological changes of lymphoid masses in the stomach and small intestine in the formation of the clinical and pathogenetic profile of babesiosis. We studied the structural changes of lymphoid masses of the stomach and small intestine in animals with babesiosis postmortem by histological methods. Fixation was traditionally carried out in 12% aqueous formalin solution, dehydration in alcohol (30º to absolute), and pouring (paraffin/ celloidin). Staining was conducted with eosin and haematoxylin, Van Gizon, Brasche. Analysis was performed using an Olympus BX-41 microscope, Japan (x 100; x 200; x 1350). Verification was carried out by cytological, ultramicroscopic, molecular genetic methods (polymerase chain reaction) and in a biological experiment on animals. Analysis of specimens of the lamina propria in the gastric mucosa of the animals in the experimental group and clinical observation group established that the latter contained diffuse accumulations of the lymphoid tissue. Their dispersal involved different parts of the organ, including quite large areas. Haematoxylin and eosin staining gave a clear histological pattern with a marked contrast of fragments, which contributed to diagnostic resources. Lymphoid follicles were observed occasionally, their marginal, mantle zones were blurred. The germinative centres were not detected and did not show any lucency. Neutrophilic granulocytes, monocytes and plasma cells predominated among the cellular leucocyte populations. Examination of the lymphoid apparatus of the small intestine showed predominantly diffuse nodular hyperplasia, which was widespread. A focal version of the nosological prototype was observed in individual specimens occasionally, presented as single cells (most often in the terminal parts of the organ). Histological changes of lymphoid masses of the stomach and small intestine in animals with babesiosis consisted in the development of expressive diffuse nodular hyperplasia with disorganization of the structure of lymphoid follicles, destruction of zonality of the latter, making it impossible to detect germinative centres.

Published: August 2021

Pandemi Corona membuat hampir semua masyarakat melakukan kegiatan dari rumah, baik itu urusan sekolah maupun pekerjaan. Tidak sedikit pula perusahaan yang melakukan Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja (PHK) maupun merumahkan para pekerjanya. Hal ini pula yang menyebabkan sistem keuangan Indonesia menjadi tidak stabil dan roda perekonomian Indonesia mengalami penurunan. Untuk menstabilkan sistem keuangan ini, maka langkah yang bisa dilakukan adalah membuat sebuah peluang usaha baru sebagai alternatif pendapatan. Peluang usaha baru yang diusulkan ini juga sejalan dengan karakteristik Usaha   Mikro,  Kecil  dan   Menengah   (UMKM), dimana UMKM memiliki  peranan penting  dalam  perekonomian   di  Indonesia.  Meskipun demikian, masih terdapat beberapa  hambatan  internal maupun  eksternal yang harus dihadapi pelaku UMKM. Salah satu hambatan internal yang menjadi fokus utama yang akan diangkat adalah Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) meliputi kurangnya pengetahuan mengenai  teknologi  produksi  terbaru  dan cara menjalankan  quality control terhadap produk, kurangnya kemampuan membaca kebutuhan pasar masih belum tajam, sehingga belum mampu menangkap dengan cermat kebutuhan yang diinginkan pasar, dan pemasaran  produk  masih  mengandalkan   cara  sederhana mouth  to mouth marketing (pemasaran dari mulut ke mulut). Untuk mengatasi berbagai permasalahan di atas maka dilakukanlah kegiatan penyuluhan dan workshop tentang pelatihan akuntansi biaya dan teknik pemasaran digital, dimana topik ini diambil agar pelaku UMKM maupun masyarakat yang baru memulai usaha karena terdampak COVID-19 mendapatkan wawasan tentang cara mengendalikan dan mencatat biaya produksi, serta dapat menjangkau pangsa pasar yang lebih luas dengan desain promosi yang lebih menarik dan teknologi digital marketingnya

Published: August 2021

Cloud computing is a new technology recently being developed seriously. Scheduling is an essential issue in the area of cloud computing. There is an extensive literature concerning scheduling in the area of distributed systems. Some of them are applicable for cloud computing. Traditional scheduling methods are unable to provide scheduling in cloud environments. According to a simple classification, scheduling algorithms in the cloud environment are divided into two main groups: batch mode and online heuristics scheduling. This paper focuses on the trust of cloud-based scheduling algorithms. According to the literature, the existing algorithm examinee latest algorithm is related to an algorithm trying to optimize scheduling using the Trust method. The existing algorithm has some drawbacks, including the additional overhead and inaccessibility to the past transaction data. This paper is an improvement of the trust-based algorithm to reduce the drawbacks of the existing algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can execute better than the previous method. The efficiency of this method depends on the number of nods and tasks. The more trust in the number of nods and tasks, the more the performance improves when the time cost increases

In the past few years, software development has seen rapid growth, and developers have adopted different methods to provide efficient procedures in software development, thus reducing the overall bug counts and time delay. Bidirectional model transformation is one such technique that encompasses the development of the object code in both directions enabling an abstract view of the software to the developer; over the year’s researchers, have been able to produce many approaches in bidirectional model transformations (bx), but the cost and best fir for effective model transformation, in particular, a quantities survey will be designed which will discuss the best possible apron in the bx. The methodology for this survey shall be made through SLR to identify around 20 different approaches proposed for bidirectional model transformation; these studies range from the year 2010 till date and are thus, rendered latest in the respective fields of our survey. The gathered results have been calculated on the specific set of parameters that are cost and time of usage time are the main aspects of these approaches, and that is the predicament that has made us produce a systematic literature review (SLR) on this very topic. Thus, this paper investigates different approaches based on their implementation cost and time delay and discusses their limitations, and the approach is implemented. Those approaches have been selected, which culminate in both of these respective parameters. The main objective of this SLR is to provide an insight into the different approaches and establish a well-balanced approach that can be used in bidirectional model transformation in software development.
Summarized distributions of mass: a statistical approach to consumers’ consumption spaces
Authors: Angelini Pierpaolo , Maturo Fabrizio
Published: August 2021

This paper focuses on logical aspects of choices being made by the consumer under conditions of uncertainty or certainty. Such logical aspects are found out to be the same. Choices being made by the consumer that should maximize her subjective utility are decisions studied by revealed preference theory. A finite number of possible alternatives is considered. They are mutually exclusive propositions identifying all quantitative states of nature of a consumption plan. Each proposition of it is expressed by a real number. This research work distinguishes it from its temporary truth value depending on the state of information and knowledge of the consumer. Since each point of the consumption space of the consumer belongs to a two-dimensional convex set, this article focuses on conjoint distributions of mass. Indeed, the consumption space of the consumer is generated by all coherent summaries of a conjoint distribution of mass. Each point of her consumption space is connected with a weighted average of states of nature of two consumption plans jointly studied. They give rise to a conjoint distribution of mass. The consumer chooses a point of a two-dimensional convex set representing that bundle of goods actually demanded by her inside of her consumption space. This paper innovatively shows that it is nothing but a bilinear and disaggregate measure. It is decomposed into two real numbers, where each real number is a linear measure. In this paper, different measures are obtained. They can be disaggregate or aggregate measures, where the latter are independent of the notion of ordered pair of consumption plans.
Cloud-edge collaboration based transferring prediction of building energy consumption
Authors: Zhang Jinping , Deng Xiaoping , Li Chengdong , Su Guanqun , Yu Yulong
Published: August 2021

Building energy consumption (BEC) prediction often requires constructing a corresponding model for each building based historical data. However, the constructed model for one building is difficult to be reused in other buildings. Recent approaches have shown that cloud-edge collaboration architecture is promising in realizing model reuse. How to complete the reuse of cloud energy consumption prediction models at the edge and reduce the computational cost of the model training is one of the key issues that need to be solved. To handle the above problems, a cloud-edge collaboration based transferring prediction method for BEC is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a model library stored prediction models for different types of buildings is constructed based the historical energy consumption data and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network in the cloud firstly; then, the similarity measurement strategies of time series with different granularity are given, and the model to be transferred from the model library is matched by analyzing the similarity between observation data uploaded to the cloud and the historical data collected in the cloud; finally, the fine-tuning strategy of the matching prediction model is given, and this model is fine-tuned at the edge to achieve its reuse in concrete application scenarios. Experiments on practical datasets reveal that compared with the prediction model which doesn’t utilize the transfer strategy, the proposed prediction model has better performance according to MAE and RMSE. Experimental results also confirm that the proposed method effectively reduces the computational cost of the network training at the edge.

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Anaesthesiology practitioners experience extraordinary pressure and stress in their daily work. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research is to assess the occupational factors and burnout syndrome among anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in Kosovo. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of 154 (out of 220) anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in Kosovo. We collected the data using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Occupational Role Stressors Scale. RESULTS: The mean ± SD age of the study sample was 42.5 ± 8.7 years, and 57% of them were working more than 40 h per week. A high level of burnout in terms of depersonalization (DP) was found among 48 of anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians, 26 had high level of emotional exhaustion (EE). EE and DP showed significant positive correlation with work overload, managerial responsibility role, and overall occupational stress (p < 0.05). Female anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians showed higher score of personal achievement (PA) compared to males (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Approximately one-third of Kosovar anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians showed high level of burnout and it is rising as work overload and the role of managerial responsibility increases. Increasing the number of employed anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in health institutions in Kosovo will lead to a better workload distribution and lower burnout syndrome.
Never events in orthopaedics: A nationwide data analysis and guidance on preventative measures
Authors: Hafez Ahmed T. , Omar Islam , Purushothaman Balaji , Michla Yusuf , Mahawar Kamal
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Never Events (NE) are serious clinical incidents that are wholly preventable if appropriate institutional safeguards are in place and followed. They are often used as a surrogate of the quality of healthcare delivered by an institution. Most NEs are surgical and orthopaedic surgery is one of the most involved specialties. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify common NE themes associated with orthopaedics within the National Health Service (NHS) of England. METHOD: We conducted an observational study analysing the annual NE data published by the NHS England from 2012 to 2020 to collate all orthopaedic surgery-related NE and construct relevant recurring themes. RESULTS: We identified 460 orthopaedic NE out of a total of 3247 (14.16%) reported NE to NHS England. There were 206 Wrong implants/prostheses under 8 different themes. Wrong hip and knee prosthesis were the commonest “wrong implants” (n = 94; 45.63% and n = 91; 44.17% respectively). There were 197 “wrong-site surgery” incidents in 22 different themes. The commonest of these was the laterality problems accounting for 64 (32.48%) incidents followed by 63 (31.97%) incidents of wrong spinal level interventions. There were 18 (9.13%) incidents of intervention on the wrong patients and 17 (8.62%) wrong incisions. Retained pieces of instruments were the commonest retained foreign body with 15 (26.13%) incidents. The next categories were retained drill parts and retained instruments with 13 (22.80%) incidents each. CONCLUSION: We identified 47 different themes of NE specific to orthopaedic surgery. Awareness of these themes would help in their prevention. Site marking can be challenging in the presence of cast and on operating on the digits and spine. Addition of a real-time intra-operative implant scan to the National Joint Registry can avoid wrong implant selection while fiducial markers, intraoperative imaging, O-arm navigation, and second time-out could help prevent wrong level spinal surgery.

Published: August 2021

The energy sector is experiencing a revolution that is fuelled by a multitude of factors. Among them are the aging grid system, the need for cleaner energy and the increasing demands on energy sector. The demand-response program is an advanced feature in smart grid that strives to match suppliers to their demands using price-based and incentive programs. The objective of the work is to analyse the performance of the load shedding technique using dynamic pricing algorithm. The system was designed using multi-agent system (MAS) for a DC microgrid capable of real-time monitoring and controlling of power using price-based demand-response program. As a proof of concept, the system was implemented using intelligent physical agents, Java Agent Development Framework (JADE), and agent simulation platform (REPAST) with two residential houses (non-critical loads) and one hospital (critical load). The architecture has been implemented using embedded devices, relays, and sensors to control the operations of load shedding and energy trading in residential areas that have no access to electricity. The measured results show that the system can shed the load with the latency of less than 600 ms, and energy cost saving with an individual houses by 80% of the total cost with 2USD per day. The outcome of the studies demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed multi-agent approach for real-time operation of a microgrid and the implementation of demand-response program.

Published: August 2021

Data-intensive cloud computing systems are growing year by year due to the increasing volume of data. In this context, data replication technique is frequently used to ensure a Quality of service, e.g., performance. However, most of the existing data replication strategies just reproduce the same number of replicas on some nodes, which is certainly not enough for more accurate results. To solve these problems, we propose a new data Replication and Placement strategy based on popularity of User Requests Group (RPURG). It aims to reduce the tenant response time and maximize benefit for the cloud provider while satisfying the Service Level Agreement (SLA). We demonstrate the validity of our strategy in a performance evaluation study. The result of experimentation shown robustness of RPURG.
Prescribed work, real work, and regulatory strategies for the work organization in an agricultural implement manufacturer
Authors: de Almeida Larissa Brentini , Camarotto João Alberto
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: The work organization not only comprises the formal structure but also social interactions, which are developed according to its own rules based on variabilities and professional competences. During real work, there are regulatory processes that result in the development of strategies to meet the requirements of the work organization and maintain health status. OBJECTIVE: To understand the regulatory processes involved in work activities and analyze the extent to which the developed strategies are sufficient to protect employees’ integrity and guarantee performance. METHODS: This study was carried out in an agricultural implement manufacturing company, whose qualitative procedures were analyzed by combining activity observations, interviews, and self-confrontation. RESULTS: In view of the interaction of logic, operators comply with some rules to the detriment of others, based on the decision processes of their individual and collective experience. The availability of resources compatible with activity demands increases the possibility of action and competence development. The cost of regulations for less experienced operators is higher, taking into consideration the level of uncertainty resulting from contradictions and variabilities. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to discuss the contradictions manifested in operators’ work routines through interactions between heterogeneous rationalities. From this, it is possible to construct a common reference about the activity and increase the possibilities of action during real work.
Setting priorities: Testing a tool to assess and prioritize workplace chemical hazards
Authors: Tenkate Thomas , Kramer Desré M. , Strahlendorf Peter , Szymanski Terri
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training is obligatory for Ontario workplaces. The purpose of this training is to help workers understand the health and safety issues associated with using chemicals, including how to understand the information contained in the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) that come with all chemicals. However, many workers still do not know how hazardous workplace chemicals can be and they find it difficult to objectively determine the level of hazard posed by the chemicals they use. OBJECTIVE: A team of researchers, unions, and health and safety associations created a tool for Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC) of small and medium-sized businesses to help them identify, assess and prioritize the health hazards posed by workplace chemicals using SDSs as the primary source of information. METHODS: The team recruited the JHSCs of six workplaces to pilot the usefulness of the Chemical Hazard Assessment and Prioritization (CHAP) tool. The CHAP tool helps workplaces rank their chemicals within one of five hazard levels using information contained in SDSs. RESULTS: Despite a difficult recruitment process, the participating JHSCs thought the CHAP process of assessing and prioritizing their workplace chemicals was useful. It raised their awareness of chemical hazards, increased their understanding of SDSs, and helped them prioritize their chemicals for improved control measures. CONCLUSIONS: Small and medium-sized businesses found the tool to be useful, but suggested that an electronic version would be easier to use.
Reglas fiscales subnacionales: Revisión empírica, experiencias internacionales y sus desafíos en la nueva institucionalidad fiscal post COVID
Authors: Jiménez Juan Pablo , Letelier Leonardo , Ruelas Ignacio , Bonet-Morón Jaime
Published: August 2021

Durante las últimas dos décadas, la utilización de reglas fiscales ha tenido un aumento significativo alrededor del mundo. Si bien la evidencia internacional ha destacado algunos beneficios a partir de su implementación, las experiencias de América Latina en la puesta en marcha y los resultados han sido heterogéneos. Esas reglas fiscales inicialmente cobijaban a los gobiernos nacionales, pero luego se fueron ampliando a los subnacionales, en parte porque los procesos de descentralización fiscal fueron entregando más responsabilidades en materia de ingreso y gasto público a los gobiernos subnacionales. La revisión de las experiencias internacionales en esta materia provee lecciones de política importantes para futuros cambios en las normas de responsabilidad fiscal nacional y subnacional en los países, en especial ante las condiciones que ha impuesto al sector público la pandemia del COVID-19. Este documento hace una revisión exhaustiva de la evolución de las reglas fiscales subnacionales alrededor del mundo, identificando los principales factores que contribuyen al éxito o fracaso de estas. Además, permite identificar los elementos clave en una posible agenda de reforma ante las fallas en las reglas fiscales que ha visibilizado la actual pandemia.

A blokkot bevezető szöveg célja az autonómia fogalmát tárgyaló szociológiai irodalom nagyobb fordulópontjainak bemutatása, a fogalom kontextualizálása, valamint a hazai hivatások 19–20. századi fejlődésének történetéből vett példákkal annak illusztrálása, hogy milyen és hányféle akadályba ütközve folyt a születő hivatások autonómiáért vívott küzdelme. Az elméleti irodalom és a blokk két elméleti tanulmánya (Randall Collins és Hannes Siegrist írásai) alapján három fő elemzési dimenziót emelhetünk ki. Egyrészt a hivatásgyakorlók és a társadalom (kliensek, felhasználók, fogyasztók) viszonyát; másrészt a hivatás(ok) és az állam kapcsolatát; és végezetül a hivatás és a többi foglalkozás vagy hivatás között fennálló viszonyokat. A blokkban szereplő történeti szociológiai esettanulmányok ezeknek a dimenzióknak a sajátosságait mutatják meg egy-egy kiválasztott hivatás (a tanárok, az ügyvédek és a gyógyszerészek) esetében.
Panaszkultúra és önrendelkezési törekvések : A magyar ügyvédség autonómiájának dualizmus kori lehetőségei és korlátai
Authors: Papp Viktor
Published: August 2021

A dualizmus kori Magyarországon az igazságügy és a közigazgatás szétválasztásának és modernizálásának szellemiségével egyetemben került sor a bírói és az ügyvédi karok modern alapokon való megszervezésére. Az 1870-es években széles körű önrendelkezést, kamarai rendszert elnyerő ügyvédség mindazonáltal kevéssé volt megelégedve a rá ruházott jogkörökkel, így a korszak jogi szaksajtóját felhasználva a reformok sürgetését, a rendtartás átalakítását folyamatosan napirenden tartották. Az ügyvédség egy része sérelmesnek találta a jogorvoslati fórum, de gyakran még az ügyvédi fegyelmi bíróságok működését is. A jogi sajtó hasábjain felélénkülő panaszkultúra azonban kevésbé a tájékoztatást vagy az erkölcsi normák közvetítését szolgálta, sokkal inkább az autonómia kibővítésének érveléséhez kívánt hozzájárulni. Az önrendelkezés működésének és az etikai kódex gyakorlati érvényesítésének vizsgálata ugyanis arra enged következtetni, hogy az ügyvédség tevékenyen élt a ráruházott feladatkörökkel, és sikerrel alakította ki azokat a mechanizmusokat, melyek érvényre juttatták a paragrafusokba csak áttételesen belefoglalt célkitűzéseket.
„Fehér köpeny” és „guruló gyógyszerész” : A magyar gyógyszerészet szovjetizálása
Authors: Magos Gergely
Published: August 2021

A magyar gazdaság szovjetizálása a gyógyszerészet területén is jelentős változásokat hozott. A termelés volumenének központi meghatározása által a gyógyszeripar és -kereskedelem bekapcsolása a tervgazdaságba viszonylag magától értetődő volt. Nagyobb kihívást jelentett azonban ugyanez a feladat a hagyományos patikai munka, a gyógyszerek manuális előállítása, vagyis a magisztrális gyógyszerkészítés esetén. Ehhez olyan munkafeltételeket kellett teremteni, melyek biztosítják a gyógyszerészek munkájának mérhetőségét, ezáltal a normakijelölést. Mindezt fokozott specializációval, a munkafolyamatok feldarabolásával és az iparszerű gyógyszer-előállítás feltételeinek kialakításával kívánták elérni. Ezt a célt szolgálta a szovjet típusú mintagyógyszertárak létrehozása országszerte. A kézműves gyógyszerkészítés háttérbe szorítását és a tayloriánus munkaszervezés előtérbe kerülését az egyéni autonóm munkavégzés korlátozásaként is értelmezhetjük.
Organizational Anomie: A Qualitative Research on Educational Institutions
Authors: YARIM Mehmet Ali , ÇELIK Sabri
Published: August 2021

This study, which aims to examine the perceptions of teachers working in primary and secondary schools regarding organizational anomaly, was designed with a phenomenology study from qualitative research designs. The working group of the research consists of 16 teachers working in state schools in the central districts of Erzurum in 2020-2021. The data obtained with the measurement tool consisting of semi-structured open-ended questions prepared by the researchers were analyzed by content analysis method. According to the findings obtained in the study, the main causes of anomie experienced by teachers are corruption in working life, loss of values, lack of certain rules and norms, distrust of administrators, unwillingness, impossibility, dissatisfaction, inefficiency and loss of belonging. It has been concluded that it has consequences such as lack of discipline, self-interest and negligence, and that the teachers generally have uncertain and anxious thoughts about the personal and social future. In order to reduce anomaly in schools, a value-oriented human resources management based on the spirit of teachers and a transition to a merit and justice-based appointment system in manager appointments are the basic proposals.
Circunstanciadores temporais: o livro didático como ferramenta de ampliação do repertório linguístico dos estudantes do sétimo ano do ensino fundamental
Authors: Rocha Ariana Góes , Leal Liviane Rodrigues dos Santos
Published: August 2021

Este artigo aborda sobre o uso dos circunstanciadores temporais no Livro didático “Se Liga na Língua – Leitura, Produção de Texto e Linguagem – 7º ano”, da Editora Moderna (2018). Dito isso, Circunstanciadores temporais são conectores que expressam relações de tempo e fazem a juntura entre as partes do texto, promovendo a sequenciação das informações. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que tem como ponto de partida a realidade de alguns alunos que não são exitosos em tarefas linguísticas por conta da limitação das habilidades e competências exploradas no contexto escolar. Tem-se como objetivo discutir os elementos coesivos em questão e suas possibilidades em sala de aula, com enfoque no livro didático, que é uma ferramenta basilar de ensino. Diante do estudo realizado, concluiu-se que os docentes precisam implementar estratégias que aprimorem a execução das atividades, propostas pelo compêndio escolar, ampliando, assim, o repertório linguístico dos estudantes.
Intervenção fisioterapêutica no pós-operatório de cirurgia de colo de fêmur em idosos – uma revisão bibliográfica
Authors: Silva Juliana Tobias da , Morais Filho Leandro Correia de
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a intervenção fisioterapêutica no pós-operatório de cirurgia de colo de fêmur em pacientes idosos, já que nas últimas décadas a população mundial tem aumentado sua sobrevida de forma global. Uma vez tida como uma das principais complicações decorrentes das quedas sofridas pelos idosos, esta complicação pode ser tratada imediatamente por meio de procedimento cirúrgico e/ou posteriormente por intermédio de protocolos fisioterapêuticos específicos. Assim, torna-se importante a elucidação desta temática para uma melhor compreensão da atuação dos profissionais de fisioterapia nestes pacientes. Com uma averiguação inicial nas bases de dados PubMed/MedLine, Scielo, Lilacs, Google Acadêmico, procurou-se uma seleção de determinados artigos referentes a esta temática. Mediante os objetivos propostos no presente estudo, pode-se inferir que as doenças da senilidade e os processos naturais do envelhecimento, são fatores contribuintes para a ocorrência de fratura de colo de fêmur, na qual a implementação correta de ações simples de prevenção, pode reduzir a ocorrência de lesões de colo femoral, sofrimento, óbitos e gastos desnecessários. Além disso, a fisioterapia apresenta uma função importantíssima na etapa de reabilitação nesse período pós-operatório, prevenindo e tratando as disfunções funcionais apresentadas após o trauma. Observa-se também que ao ser aplicada imediatamente, fornece um rápido resultado no processo de reabilitação funcional nesses indivíduos, apesar de não garantir um retorno destes ao seu estado funcional pré-fratura.
