As transformações do bairro Cidade Baixa em Porto Alegre no século XXI
Authors: Mog William , Simões José Daniel Craidy
Published: December 2022

Este artigo discorre sobre a produção do espaço urbano que vem ocorrendo no bairro Cidade Baixa da cidade de Porto Alegre. O bairro, formado em uma região próxima à camada edificada mais antiga da cidade e delimitado por importantes vias de circulação, é hoje foco do mercado imobiliário tendo em vista a instalação de edifícios de torres de apartamentos. Entende-se que a produção imobiliária recente neste bairro é resultante de um processo de reestruturação fundiária associado às mudanças na legislação de uso e de ocupação do solo, ocorridas no final do século XX em Porto Alegre. Este estudo demonstra que a aplicação da regulamentação urbana instalada a partir do Plano Diretor de 1999 desencadeou um processo de descaracterização de um padrão de formas urbanas que se construiu ao longo do século XX no bairro. São analisados três empreendimentos imobiliários produzidos pela indústria da construção civil no bairro durante as décadas de 2000 e 2010. Para a instalação desses empreendimentos foram necessárias alterações sobre as estruturas de circulação e fundiária, gerando um novo padrão de formas edificadas, distinto dos preexistentes.

Í þessari grein er leitast við að velja og lýsa nokkrum dæmum um nám og kennslu í anda framsækinnar kennslufræði (e. progressive education) í íslenskum grunnskólum. Dæmin eru sótt í vettvangsathuganir höfundar sem fylgst hefur með kennslu í vel á annað hundrað skólum undanfarna hálfa öld. Valin voru dæmi um nemendamiðað nám þar sem byggt hefur verið á fjölþættum markmiðum og áhersla lögð á þátttöku, sjálfstæði og ábyrgð nemenda, sköpun og samvinnu. Hér má nefna þegar nemendur fá að takast á við heildstæð, samþætt og merkingarbær viðfangsefni sem þeir taka til athugunar og kanna til nokkurrar hlítar. Efnið er sótt til bæði fámennra og fjölmennra skóla hér á landi, í dreifbýli og þéttbýli.Skoðun höfundar er að framsækin kennslufræði eigi enn brýnt erindi við kennara og nemendur. Færð eru rök að því að mikill skyldleiki sé með áherslum hennar og þeim hugmyndum sem nú eru uppi í námskrám og alþjóðlegri stefnumörkun um kennsluhætti sem mikilvægt er talið að þróa til að undirbúa nemendur sem best fyrir líf og starf í samfélagi 21. aldar.
Skuldbinding nemenda og tengsl við kennara í framhaldsskóla
Authors: Blöndal Kristjana Stella , Ágústsdóttir Elva Björk
Published: December 2022

Miklu skiptir fyrir farsæla skólagöngu að nemendur taki virkan þátt í skólanum, tengist skólasamfélaginu og finnist námið merkingarbært. Rannsóknir sýna að stór hópur framhaldsskólanemenda virðist afhuga námi og samsama sig ekki skólanum. Lítil skuldbinding á þessu aldursskeiði hefur verið rakin til þess að framhaldsskólaumhverfið komi ekki nægilega til móts við þarfir nemenda á þessu þroskaskeiði en rannsóknir skortir. Markmið rannsóknarinnar er að varpa ljósi á samskipti nemenda og kennara í framhaldsskóla og hvernig reynsla nemenda mótar skuldbindingu þeirra til náms og skóla. Leitast verður við að svara því hvaða þættir í samskiptunum efla skuldbindingu nemenda til náms og skóla. Tilgangurinn er að dýpka innsýn kennara og annars skólafólks í reynslu framhaldsskólanemenda og þar með stuðla að góðum tengslum kennara og nemenda og farsælli skólagöngu. Byggt er á eigindlegri viðtalsrannsókn sem náði til 15 nemenda í sex mismunandi framhaldsskólum. Rannsóknin var framkvæmd á tímum samkomutakmarkana vegna COVID-19 og var spurt um reynslu framhaldsskólanemendanna af samskiptum við kennara fyrir heimsfaraldurinn annars vegar og hins vegar í gegnum tölvuskjá þegar hefðbundið skólahald lagðist af. Með því að beina sjónum að skólahaldi við þessar ólíku aðstæður var leitast við að draga skýrar fram sýn ungmenna á þá þætti í samskiptum við kennara sem eru þeim mikilvægir. Greina mátti þrjú meginþemu í upplifun ungmennanna á jákvæðum samskiptum kennara og nemenda. Þau eru 1) að kennarinn leitast við að skapa tengsl við nemendur, 2) að umhyggja og stuðningur kennarans eykur vellíðan nemenda, og 3) að hvetjandi nærvera kennarans er drifkraftur í námi. Skýrt kom fram hversu miklu máli tengsl við kennara skiptu fyrir skuldbindingu viðmælenda og lýstu þeir hvernig góð tengsl við kennara höfðu jákvæð áhrif á nám þeirra, virkni, vellíðan og gleði í skólanum. Aftur á móti upplifðu þeir minna aðgengi að kennurum í framhaldsskólum en þeir áttu að venjast í grunnskóla. Þótt samband kennara og nemenda breytist eftir því sem nemendur þroskast og framhaldsskólinn sé talinn ópersónulegri en fyrri skólastig, varpa niðurstöðurnar ljósi á einstakt hlutverk kennara og hve mikilvægt náið samband kennara og nemenda er fyrir skólagöngu framhaldsskólanema.
Tilgangur og framtíð menntunar í ljósi stefnumörkunar OECD og UNESCO til 2030

Published: December 2022

Í umræðu um skóla og menntun, þar sem gjarnan er tekist á um tæknileg atriði sem snúa að kerfi og skipulagi, skortir iðulega umræðu um raunverulegan tilgang menntunar í samhengi við heiminn og framtíðina. Þetta er ekki síst vandamál nú á dögum, þegar staðið er frammi fyrir alvarlegum ógnum gagnvart samfélagi og náttúru. Ítrekað hefur verið bent á ábyrgð og skyldu menntakerfisins þegar kemur að því að takast á við samfélagslegar breytingar á 21. öldinni en á sama tíma hefur verið bent á togstreitu milli ólíkra hagsmunaafla í ríkjandi orðræðu og stefnumótun í menntakerfinu.Í greininni er birt greining á stefnumótunarskjölum frá OECD og UNESCO. Skjölin voru greind með það að markmiði að varpa ljósi á annars vegar ríkjandi hugmyndir um tilgang menntunar fyrir framtíðina og hins vegar framtíð hverra endurspeglast í skjölunum. Niðurstöður endurspegla ólíka grundvallarsýn stofnananna tveggja, þar sem samfélagslegur tilgangur menntunar, meðal annars til að hlúa að sameiginlegri framtíð náttúru og samfélags á jörðinni, er nokkuð skýr hjá UNESCO. OECDstefnan aftur á móti endurspeglar mun meiri togstreitu milli samfélagslegs og efnahagslegs hlutverks menntunar. Í stefnu OECD, ólíkt stefnu UNESCO, er þögn um þau sem ekki hafa öruggt aðgengi að menntun og búa við brothætt lífsskilyrði.
Ljóð, sögur og lifandi hugsun

Jón Torfi Jónasson hefur velt fyrir sér hvernig á því standi að sem kennsluaðferð virðist samræða ævinlega lenda úti á jaðrinum í skólastarfi þrátt fyrir að í aldanna rás hafi hver umbótahugmyndin rekið aðra þar sem samræður eða rökræður hafa einmitt verið í brennidepli. Í þessari grein færi ég rök fyrir því að ein ástæða fyrir jaðarsetningu samræðna sé að námsefni sé gjarnan svo dautt og leiðinlegt að það geti alls ekki vakið upp samræður og haldið þeim á lífi. Kennslubækur eru gjarnan skrifaðar með það í huga að miðla til nemenda staðreyndum eða þekkingu svo þeir geti yfirgefið heim fáviskunnar og orðið íbúar í heimi þekkingar. Þótt svona textar séu vel meintir er afraksturinn oftar en ekki texti sem fyrir nemendum er lokaður og alveg steindauður. Stundum er reynt að bregðast við þessum vanda með því að tengja lesefnið við reynslu nemenda eða finna því stað í hversdagsleikanum, eins og þegar kennslubók í stærðfræði fjallar um launaseðla og vaxtaútreikninga á húsnæðislánum. Slíkt viðbragð er misráðið því dauður texti lifnar ekki við með því að láta hann fjalla um leiðinlega, hversdagslega hluti. Andspænis þessum vanda má læra ýmislegt af ljóðum og sögum; þau hjálpa okkur að tengjast heiminum, skynja heiminn, skilja heiminn, hvort heldur hinn dauða heim sem svo er kallaður eða þann heim sem er lifandi og iðandi af fólki og öðrum lífverum. Það eru þó ekki aðeins námsefnishöfundar sem þyrftu að tileinka sér þennan lærdóm, vísindamenn mættu einnig gera það.
„Sem allra mest af þokkafullum ilmi“ Ljóðið Íþaka eftir Konstantinos P. Kavafis lesið sem hugleiðing um menntamál
Authors: Harðarson Atli
Published: December 2022

Þau 154 ljóð sem Konstantinos P. Kavafis (???????????? ?. ???????) sendi frá sér um ævina mynda heild. Þau gefa hvert öðru merkingu. Hugsanir sem eru orðaðar stuttlega í einu ljóði eru skýrðar nánar í öðrum. Stór hluti þessara hugsana varðar kosti fólks á að menntast – hvort við getum öðlast visku eða hvort veröldin hafi okkur ævinlega að fíflum.Í greininni er eitt af þekktustu verkum Kavafis, ljóðið „Íþaka“ frá árinu 1911, skoðað í ljósi annarra ljóða hans og skýrt hvernig skáldið líkir menntun við ævilangt ferðalag þar sem reynslan á leiðinni skiptir meira máli en áfangastaðurinn. Þessi reynsla, sem lýst er í ljóðinu, mótar skynjunina, setur mark á líkamann og breytir því hver maður er en ekki aðeins því hvað maður getur.Ljóðið er einnig tengt lífi Kavafis sem var framandlegur samtíð sinni á fleiri vegu en einn og fleiri en tvo. Hann var allt í senn samkynhneigður, heimsborgari í fjölmenningarsamfélagi sem var að líða undir lok og frumkvöðull í módernískri ljóðagerð sem orti á grísku en tilheyrði jaðri hins grískumælandi heims.Í framhaldi af skoðun á ljóðinu og tengslum þess við verk og líf skáldsins er spurt um menntunina sem þar er lýst og hvaða máli hún skipti fyrir okkur.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two different treatment options for the correction of left displaced abomasum (LDA) on milk yield, hematological, electrolyte parameters, lactate and cortisol concentrations in primiparous cows. Twenty four Holstein cows were randomly assigned into three groups: cows treated with one-step laparoscopic abomasopexy (LPS, n=8), cows treated by left paralumbar omentopexy (LPT, n=8) and healthy cows (CON, n=8), matched by parity and days in milk. Blood samples were collected before (D0) and after (D0’) surgery, and 1 (D1), 3 (D3), 10 (D3) and 30 (D30) days following surgery. LPS and LPT cows at D0 as well as LPT cows at 30 d following surgery had lower milk yield than CON cows (P<0.05), while the service period was higher in LPT than in CON (P<0.05). WBC was lower at D0 as well as Hb and Ht at D0 and D0’ in CON group than those of LPS and LPT (P<0.05). Hyponatremia, hypochloremia and hypokalemia at D0 and D0’ were observed in LPS and LPT. In addition, LPT cows had lower Na and Cl at D1 and D3 and lower K at D1 than CON (P<0.05). Impaired hydration in LPS and LPT cows was accompanied by higher concentrations of lactate at D0, D0’, D1 and D3 (P<0.01) and cortisol at D0 and D0’ (P<0.01) compared with CON group, while LPT had higher cortisol at D0’ than LPS (P<0.05). These results indicated that LPS has the potential to improve the convalescence period of LDA in primiparous cows.
Keeping It Complex With Philip Hunton, John Locke, and the United States Federal Judiciary: On the Merit of Murkiness in Separation of Powers Jurisprudence
Authors: Kundmueller Michelle M.
Published: December 2022

This article draws on the resources of a little-known political theorist, Philip Hunton, to explain the function of “murky” jurisprudence in the maintenance of separation of powers over time. In the era immediately before the drafting of the United States Constitution, separation of powers was a touted remedy to tyranny. But if government is thus moderated, a critical question arises: who will judge the precise contours of each institution's powers? This article addresses this longstanding question by comparing the solutions offered by Philip Hunton, John Locke, and the United States judiciary. I conclude that the judiciary's decried inability to clarify the limits of its own power is justified by Hunton's obscure explanation that separation of powers can only function so long as murkiness shrouds questions of ultimate institutional authority.

With the globalization of markets and increasing competition in global markets, the attempts of organizations to survive in this market has increased and has resulted in the emergence of the philosophy of Supply Chain Management. There is uncertainty in the reliability of supply chain facilities for reasons such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, labor errors, and weather conditions. Therefore, when making strategic decisions, the system will continue to operate with minimal damage. Over the course of this study, the uncertainty of supplier layers in the supply chain has been modeled. To meet that aim, the issue of supply chain, including producers, warehouses, suppliers and consumers are considered. To calculate the cost of breakdowns due to the non-functioning of distributors, the scenario-building method has been utilized. Finally, the desired model is solved with Gomez software and the results are presented. The result of the study demonstrate the efficiency of this model in the facility location decision-making in supply chains.

Published: December 2022

Analysis of supply chain location issues and decision-making regarding the location of facilities in the supply chain is one of the most important issues in the decision-making of governments, organizations and companies. Undoubtedly, the correct location of facilities has very important effects on economic benefits, providing appropriate services and customer satisfaction. Supply chain issue is one of the most widely used issues in today’s competitive world and location issues are among the most used issues in designing supply chain networks to improve and reduce costs and increase competitiveness. The facilities under consideration include warehouses and distribution centers, which have been solved with the aim of reducing transportation costs. And then the two methods are compared. The problem is solved in small, medium and large dimensions and finally it was concluded that the firefly algorithm had a better performance than the genetic algorithm.

Over the past few years, attention to environmental problems, legal necessities, and economic advantages emerging from reproduction activities has attracted attention to reverse logistics activities in the form of a closed-loop supply chain, whether in industry or scientific research. The current study aims to model competitiveness and comparison between two closed-loop three-level supply chains, each of which includes a manufacturer, a retailer, and a third party to collect the products used by the customer, taking into account the concepts of game theory and the existence of aggregates. Moreover, a separate supplier for each chain is considered. In the forward supply chain, the manufacturer produces new products using new components or re-used products that have been collected from the consumer, then sells these products mainly to the retailer, and the retailer sells them. In the reverse chain, the collector provides the used products to the manufacturer after collection. The study utilized the definitions and concepts of game theory to model this closed loop chain as a Stackelberg game to obtain the optimal value of wholesale and retail price and the optimal value of the product return coefficient for the collector. Finally, the models based on some numerical examples are solved. Given the results, the remanufacturing costs have a significant role in making more profits for all members in such chains, and competitive chains should attempt to remanufacture the products at lower costs.

Published: December 2022

The study compared early post-surgical complications between two groups of patients with pancreatoduodenal resection for pancreatic head carcinoma: patients with pancreatic-gastric anastomosis with mixed drainage and controls with pancreatic jejunal anastomosis with external drainage. The present study was a cohort study. The patient group was selected prospectively, and the control group – retrospectively. Patients were randomized by sex, age, primary tumor location, pancreatic parenchyma density, clinical symptoms, tumor–node–metastasis (TNM), and grade (G). We used the IBM SPSS Statistics software with the following tests: Fisher’s exact test, Pearson’s chi-squared test, Mann–Whitney U test. The optimized reconstruction approach with mixed drainage reduced early complications: early mortality - by 2.5%, overall morbidity - by 7.5%; pancreatic-digestive anastomosis insufficiency - by 2.5%; intra-abdominal bleeding - by 2.5%; intra-abdominal infection - by 2.5%; gastroparesis - by 5.0%; wound infection - by 2.5%; biliary leakage -by 2.5%. There were no cases of clinically significant pancreatic fistula. The control group was associated with an average of 9-fold higher relative risk of early complications. The passage was restored between the 4th and 7th day. Patients had a shorter average hospital stay (11 days) compared to controls (22 days). Digestive anastomoses reconstruction on a single loop and mixed intraluminal drainage through a modified nasogastric tube led to a 7-fold reduction in early post-surgical complications and a 2-fold shorter hospital stay.

Authors: Todorova Gergana V. , Akisheva Aygulya M. , Stoimenova Milena Y.
Published: December 2022

Chronic renal failure (CRF) syndrome significantly alters patients’ quality of life. Anaemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases are common complications of CRF. The study aimed to determine the incidence of arterial hypertension (AH), anaemia, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with CRF and to analyze the relationship between them. The study included 212 patients with CRF, treated at the Clinic of Nephrology and Dialysis at the University Hospital “Dr. G. Stranski,” Pleven, during 2008-2020. The AH accounted for 88.2% of the patients with CRF. The incidence of AH is comparable to that in patients in the predialysis period – 88.6% and among patients on dialysis – 87.9%. LVH was diagnosed in 94.3% of patients with CRF. The incidence of LVH in the predialysis period was 94.3%, and among dialysis patients -94.4%. The incidence of LVH among hypertensive and normotensive patients was comparable. The incidence of anaemia among patients with CRF was 86.3%. Anaemia was present in 94.4% of the patients on dialysis and in 78.1% of the patients in the predialysis period. The difference was significant (p <0.05). There was no correlation between anaemia and AH, nor between AH and LVH. A significant dependence of LVH on the duration of chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment was established.

Authors: Yankova Milena , Todorova Gergana V. , Todorov Vasil V.
Published: December 2022

Abnormalities in mineral and bone metabolism are a risk factor for increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality and bone fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5D (CKD 5D). This single-center study aimed to investigate the age-related features of mineral and bone disorders in patients with CKD 5D on haemodialysis treatment and analyse the therapy provided. The biochemical parameters of mineral and bone metabolism and the ongoing therapy were studied in 90 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment, of whom 44 (48.9%) were aged <65 years and 46 (51.1%) were aged ≥65 years. Serum phosphate, 25(OH) vit.D, parathyroid hormone, and serum albumin were significantly lower in patients aged ≥65 years compared with patients aged <65 years. There was a significant negative correlation between these parameters and age. We found no significant differences in therapy between the two age groups. A significant proportion of the patients aged ≥65 years had serum calcium and parathyroid hormone values below the lower desirable limit, while most of those aged <65 years had hyperphosphatemia and parathyroid hormone ≥600 pg/ml. Mineral and bone metabolism in CKD stage 5D patients on hemodialysis showed age-dependent patterns. Knowing them is crucial for optimal treatment.

Authors: Ramadhan Bayu
Published: December 2022

This study aims to discover the materialism mediator that predicts the presence of academic motivation, the religiosity mediator predicts the presence of academic motivation and the religiosity mediator predicts the presence of materialism among Minangkabau university students in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This study identified dimensions of materialism that relate to religiosity and academic motivation dimensions of religiosity that relate to materialism and academic motivation and dimensions of academic motivation relate to religiosity and materialism. The researcher administered the Materialistic Value Scale (MVS) to measure materialism, the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10) measures the religiosity, and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) measures motivation. It was administered to 382 students of Minangkabau university students in a public university in West Sumatra. Pearson correlation, multi-variable regression analysis, and independent t-test were conducted. The multiple linear regression is employed to predict the presence of academic motivation and materialism. The results displayed that the dimension of the religiosity which is more related to academic motivation is the interpersonal religiosity; the dimension of the religiosity which is more related to materialism is the intrapersonal religiosity; while the dimension of materialism which is more related to academic motivation is the pursuit of happiness.

In this regard, the aim of the paper is to present in more detail the application of the problem-based and inquiry-based learning in the teaching of nature and society (as the subject is named in primary schools of Republic of Srpska), as well as the similarities and differences, i.e. the border that separates these two methods of acquiring knowledge, while highlighting the difficulties that may report during their implementation. The paper is of a theoretical nature, based on the findings of eminent authors who are experts in the given field of education, and it also contains examples for lessons which are self-created. The purpose of the paper is to help teachers in preparing and conducting this type of nature and society lessons and to encourage the improvement of the learning process. The differences between the models are that problem-based learning is somewhat narrower and is directed towards finding solutions according to clearly defined steps, while inquiry learning is more directed towards fulfilling the human need for discovery, and encourages students to make exploring the world around them their lifestyle. From the above, it can be seen that it is necessary to pay attention to several aspects in order to make the class as high quality as possible, so that the role of the teacher remained unsurpassed, regardless of how independent the students were in learning.

The pandemic period brought major changes in terms of the teaching-learning process in the university education system and represented an experience both for teachers and students. This study investigates the views, difficulties faced by students while attending online courses and seminars, but also disadvantages and benefits. In order to carry out the study, a questionnaire with several items aimed at achieving clear objectives was applied. The study was attended by 70 students from the PIPP specialization, bachelor’s cycle, who attended the online courses in a percentage of over 50%. The analysis captured various results regarding the way of teaching-learning in the online system, which indicates that most of the students in the research lean towards learning in a physical format, and only in exceptional cases online, among the causes or difficulties identified being the weak Internet connection, lack of concentration and focus of attention in classes caused by various disturbing factors in the home environment, difficulties in understanding the classes, the impossibility of physical participation in practice activities.
Increasing students grammar learning motivation through consciousness-raising tasks: communicative English skills I
Authors: Gobena Gadisa Tadesse
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to assess students’ grammar learning motivation through consciousness-raising tasks. To this end, the descriptive survey was carried out through a questionnaire and focus group discussion (FGD). The data gathered from the questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, and mean. This study was encouraged to take a sample of freshmen students from the limited sections. From these, 92 students participated. The study revealed that students were reluctant to practice their grammar on their own practice. On the other hand, the contents of the course itself do not allow students to do better without the help of teachers, as it does not include all the activities that push students to do well on their own. In addition, the teacher rarely encourages students to acquire additional grammar rules to develop a language without being aware of it during the lesson.
Military Deterrence vs Foreign Interference? Record of the Cold War
Authors: Istomin I. A.
Published: December 2022

Academic literature is largely skeptical regarding the role of military deterrence in addressing low-level coercion. The stability-instability paradox suggests that increasing destructiveness of the armed forces (especially with the emergence of nuclear weapons) diminishes their utility in response to limited wars, proxy conflicts or economic sanctions. Recent debates often extend the same logic to foreign interference in internal affairs, as they position it as a supplement for forcible rivalries. This article seeks to advance understanding of the linkage between military deterrence and foreign interference in internal politics by exploring the record of the early Cold War starting from 1948 to the mid-1950s. The analysis attests that concern over the Soviet military capabilities had a major restraining effect on Washington. As a result, the US pursued more cautious activities against the Soviet Union in comparison to the campaigns targeting less capable states. This historical record reveals that interference is more amenable to military deterrence than other types of low-level coercion. It differs from them, as covert operations produce an existential danger to the political leaders of a target state, inciting overreaction on their behalf. Therefore, they create escalation risks when threatening a great power. Interference exacerbates confrontation even between adversaries that perceived each other as malign beforehand. Apart from signaling hostile intentions, it aggravates a sense of urgency on finding a response. Although military capabilities do not provide a direct solution to political threats, they serve as a repellent against potential subversive activities. These conclusions do not depend on the specific type of interference pursued by external agents. The findings of the article demonstrate that cross-domain deterrence is more prevalent than stability-instability paradox envisages.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is more common among African, Hispanic, Indian, and Asian women than Caucasian women GDM prevalence has risen by 2-3 times in recent years, ranging from 8.9% to 53.4%. This study aimed to investigate Qassim women's awareness of gestational diabetes.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted among women living in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among women using an electronic questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised socio-demographic data and 17 items focused on broad awareness and knowledge regarding DM and GDM risk factors, assessment, therapy, and implications to measure GDM knowledge and awareness.
Results: Among the 633 women studied, 48.5% were aged more than 35 years old. The prevalence of women with a previous history of GDM was 15.3%. Based on our results, the level of awareness regarding GDM was poor among 60.3% of women, 33% had moderate awareness, and only 6.6% were estimated to have good awareness levels. Factors associated with increased awareness were being younger, living in Buraydah, having better education, being employed, having associated chronic disease, having a previous history of GDM, and knowing someone with GDM.
Conclusion: The awareness of women in the Qassim region regarding gestational diabetes was deficient. However, increased awareness was demonstrated more frequently by younger women who were currently working with better education, a previous history of GDM, and knowing someone with the same disease. It is necessary to improve the awareness of women regarding GDM so they can effectively manage the disease and alleviate fears of getting complications. The healthcare providers' role is imperative.

Background: Despite the improvement of minimal invasive surgery (MIS) training programs over the last two decades, there is still inconsistent practice among surgeons at different centers. Thus, this study aimed to assess the practice pattern of MIS and the factors that influence MIS training among healthcare providers of general surgery, gynecology, and urology in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A national cross-sectional study based on survey questionnaires was conducted from May to October 2021. The survey was obtained from healthcare providers in different regions of the kingdom for the three specialties: general surgery, urology, and gynecology; who are practicing in Saudi Arabia. The main outcome measure was the confidence level of performing MIS alone. Different covariates were used to study the factors contributing to the confidence level of practicing MIS.
Results: Around 73.9% of healthcare providers were confident enough to perform MIS alone. General surgeons were most confident to perform MIS alone as compared to other surgical specialties. Factors that affect the confidence level are experience, MIS training during fellowship period, current practice hours of MIS, and kingdom's regions. The independent factors including experience represented by age of more than 45 years [14.9 times (95% CI 0.79-29.14; p-value 0.03)] and involvement in laparoscopic and robotic surgery during fellowship training [25.5 times (95% CI 4.71-46.3; p-value 0.01)].
Conclusion: The practice pattern of MIS for healthcare providers varied among different regions and surgical specialties. The confidence to practice MIS independently was affected by the experience period and the working region in the kingdom.
Apresentação. Novas abordagens da obra de Fernando Henrique Cardoso
Authors: Lima Pedro Luiz , Belinelli Leonardo , Helayel Karim
Published: December 2022

Fernando Henrique Cardoso é um dos intelectuais brasileiros mais relevantes da segunda metade do século xx. Relevância acentuada, e por vezes obscurecida, pelo fato de ter ele se tornado um protagonista da vida política nacional. Talvez fosse inevitável que o senador, o constituinte, o ministro e o presidente eclipsassem o cientista social no debate público. Mas se há tantas razões para o ocasional empobrecimento do debate sobre sua obra intelectual, existem também tantas outras, e por vezes as mesmas, que impulsionam investidas interpretativas originais sobre os sentidos de seus trabalhos acadêmicos. Em suma, a dificuldade de acessar o Fernando Henrique Cardoso que existiu antes do FHC é um dos atrativos fundamentais para aqueles que se dispõem a tal empreitada. Parafraseando um de seus célebres ex-alunos: apesar de propício a deduções amalucadas, é um tema que merece reflexão.

The Profession of a Psychologist: the Ideals of Applicants and the Validity of the Choice of Students
Authors: Popov Evgeniy Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2022

The main problem is the frequent mismatch of ideals when choosing a future profession and various aspects of subsequent professionalization of a person. As a result, there may be a loss of interest in the profession and an individual's alienation from his professional choice. This article touches upon the issue that the idealization of the profession of a psychologist coincides with certain values of applicants, and then during their studies at the university, students make adjustments to their ideas based on obtaining the necessary knowledge and skills. This allows to achieve the effect of the right professional choice and "join" the profession. The purpose of the study is to show how the professional choice of future psychologists is formed and how it is related to the value orientations of individuals. At the same time, psychology of professions and sociology of professions became the main methodological approaches. The empirical study was conducted in 2018-2021 and was based on the method of semi-structured interviews with applicants and later with university students who are receiving the profession of a psychologist. The sample was determined by a combination of "applicant-student" in the system of universities that train future psychologists (42 applicants and then 20 students from this group). As a result of the study, the following results were obtained: the idealization of the profession of a psychologist is associated with the need to help people, while applicants are guided in their ideas about the profession by their value stereotypes: respect for the individual, following moral principles, responsibility for themselves and others, etc. Idealization of the profession of a psychologist is also connected with its cognitive capabilities in two main directions: human cognition and cognition of the surrounding reality and the world.
