Profesní učitelské učení a reflexe studentského portfolia
Authors: Lukášová Hana
Published: January 2022

Studie bude sledovat, jak jsme v posledních desetiletích svědky stále naléhavějšího hledání nových cest ve vyhodnocování výsledků inovovaného studia učitelství na univerzitách v České republice i v zahraničí. Při interpretaci změn narážíme na různé potíže teoretické, metodologické, praktické a výzkumné.
Výraznou změnou učitelské edukace byl přechod na pětileté magisterské studium oboru Učitelství pro 1. stupeň základních škol, který prošel náročnou diskusí se zástupci vzdělávací politiky v České republice – viz slyšení v Senátu ČR v roce 2002. Zaměřuje se na preferenci profesního učitelského rozvoje po dobu celých pěti let studia učitelství. V této stati se budeme věnovat změně profesního učitelského učení pouze z jednoho zorného úhlu – jako důkazu o výsledku změny na základě předchozích diskusí vzdělávací politiky. Budeme sledovat studentské portfolio jako kvalitativní nástroj k hodnocení a sebehodnocení studentů učitelství pro první stupeň základní školy v průběhu a závěru studia. Rozebereme teoretická východiska volby portfolií jako nástroje ke sledování profesního učení vědního oboru pedagogika v rámci přípravy na učitelství v primární edukaci. Reflexe studentského portfolia může být dokladem, který zachycuje individuální strategie studentů při osvojování pedagogické teorie z primární pedagogiky a hodnocení výsledků reflektované pedagogické praxe. Pedagogická praxe prostupuje spolu s pedagogickou teorií od prvního ročníku pětiletého studia Učitelství pro 1. stupeň základní školy v novém modelu učitelské přípravy ve Zlíně na Fakultě humanitních studií Univerzity Tomáše Bati. V tomto roce jsou dispozici první výsledky reflexe nově zvolené cesty učitelské přípravy. Vyplývají z nich i zajímavé podněty pro vzdělávací politiku ve vztahu k učitelské přípravě v České republice do budoucna.
Cesta k inkluzivní škole
Authors: Marques Karin
Published: January 2022

Cíle. Od září 2016 platí v českých školách tzv. inkluzivní novela, tedy vyhláška č. 27/2016 Sb., o vzdělávání žáků se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami. Cílem studie je přinést detailní pohled na to, čím prošly školy, které se dají označit za inkluzivní. Případová studie proměny tří škol popisuje průběh transformace ve třech odlišných kontextech.
Metody. Na základě měření byly vybrány tři nejinkluzivnější školy. Zdrojovými daty výzkumu byly narativní a polostrukturované rozhovory se současnými i bývalými řediteli vybraných škol, jejich zástupci, některými učiteli, asistenty, rodiči anebo zástupci zřizovatele. K analýze dat byla použita interpretativní fenomenologická analýza.
Výsledky. Předpokladem pro vznik inkluzivních škol bylo transformující vedení charismatických ředitelů. Pohledem aktérů škol vzniká inkluzivní škola díky vizi, charismatickému leadershipu, hodnotovým postojům, dobré komunikaci a spolupráci vedení s učiteli, učiteli mezi sebou a školy s rodiči a s odborníky. Aktéři inkluzivních škol prožívali hledání smyslu a společných hodnot, vztah ke komunitě – společenství pospolitosti. Pro průběh transformace bylo důležité získat důvěru rodičů a veřejnosti, vytvořit podmínky pro respektování potřeb a odlišností každého dítěte. K tomu bylo potřeba získat dostatečné finanční prostředky, tvrdě a poctivě pracovat, vzdělávat se a konzultovat.
Závěry. Oblasti, které respondenti významně prožívali při proměně školy, odpovídají klíčovým pilířům inkluzivity. K některým aspektům inkluze jako modifikace a diferenciace výuky, didaktické strategie a školní výsledky se školy teprve blíží nebo je nepovažují za prioritní, protože byly zmiňovány jen okrajově nebo vůbec.
A Chronology of Levinas’s Metaphorics
Authors: Verter Mitchell Cowen
Published: January 2022

Many readers of Emmanuel Levinas understand his thought as being oriented only by transcendence and therefore denigrate the immanent dimension of metaphor within his texts. Such readings reduce the complexities of Levinas’s text to a set of polemical, orthodox proclamations such as The Other is Most High and Ethics is First Philosophy. However, Levinas’s work invites us to contemplate not only transcendence, but also the way that immanence emerges though relationships with an infinitude of others, third persons whose voices murmur within the system of language, articulated in concrete elements such as metaphor. Levinas employs metaphor to converse with the inherited ways that temporal becoming has been articulated, recurrently reorienting them to expose a variety of ethical-phenomenological constellations. To expose the dynamics that remain clandestine to the orthodox interpretation, this paper will chronologically trace the development of various families of metaphors such as those of having and doing; those of dimensionality, those of orality, those of familiarity, and those of birth, gender, and death, thereby demonstrating the multitude of roles and perspectival positions assumed by the subject during its temporal becoming.
The Impact of Emmanuel Levinas’ Philosophy on the Problem of Determining Others in Contemporary Society – in Relation to Ethics and Political Practice
Authors: Jirgl Sebastian
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to examine the impact and overlap of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas in connection with the issue of determining others in contemporary modern society, especially in relation to ethical theoretical background and real political practice. This paper aims to relate Levinasian philosophy to the phenomena of contemporary modern society, specifically, its ethics and political practice. This paper intends to capture the relevance of Levinasian philosophy to our current political and religious conflicts, the issue of refugees, immigrants, and the phenomenon of mass migration. In a broader sense, it also reflects upon the issues of racism and globalization as pertinent issues in our current age.

The role of the Siglec-G ITIM domain during bacterial infection
Authors: Wu Yin , Yang Darong , Chen Guo-Yun
Published: January 2022

Siglecs, membrane-bound lectins of the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin superfamily, inhibit immune responses by recruiting tyrosine phosphatases (e.g., SHP-1 and SHP-2) through their cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) domain. The role of Siglecs in infection has been extensively studied, but downstream signaling through the ITIM domain remains unclear. Here, we used a GST pull-down assay to identify additional proteins associated with the ITIM domain during bacterial infection. Gdi2 bound to ITIM under normal homeostasis, but Rab1a was recruited to ITIM during bacterial infection. Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of SHP-1 and SHP-2 in eluted ITIM-associated proteins under normal homeostasis. We confirmed the association of ITIM with Gdi2 or Rab1a by transfection of corresponding expression vectors in 293T cells followed by immunoprecipitation-western blot assay. Thus, ITIM’s role in the inhibition of the immune response during bacterial infection may be regulated by interaction with Gdi2 and Rab1a in addition to SHP-1 and SHP-2.
The influence of intensity and neuropathic component of pain syndrome on the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Nehrych T. I. , Bozhenko N. L. , Bozhenko M. I.
Published: January 2022

The aim of the work. To analyze the influence of intensity and neuropathic component of pain syndrome on the quality of life structure characteristics in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Materials and methods. 104 MS patients with different types of MS course and complaints of pain during the last month were examined in the Lviv Regional Multiple Sclerosis Center. The patients were interviewed using standardized questionnaires (Pain Detect, VAS, SF-36) followed by an analysis of the pain characteristics influence on the quality of life.
Results. When assessing the influence of the main characteristics of MS course, the relationship between the physical component of quality of life and levels of disability (EDSS) and the total number of relapses was found (r = -0.60, P < 0.01; r = -0.34, P < 0.01, respectively). However, the mental component of quality of life had no significant relationship with the level of disability and the number of relapses. The average pain intensity within a month on the VAS scale was 5.0 [4.0; 7.0]. 24.0 % of patients had low-intensity pain, 54.8 % – moderate, 21.2 % – high. In MS patients with low-intensity pain within a month, 5 of the 11 quality of life indicators were significantly higher, in particular, the overall physical component of quality of life – 38.1 [33.8; 48.5] % in low-intensity pain against 31.8 [28.1; 38.7] %, P = 0.02 – in moderate. In MS patients, the level of both physical (r = -0.25; P = 0.01) and mental (r = -0.21; P = 0.03) component of quality of life decreased with increasing pain intensity. The most notable correlation was observed between intensity of pain and such characteristics of quality of life as energy/fatigue (r = -0.37; P ˂ 0.01) and emotional well-being (r = -0.28; P ˂ 0.01). In 30.8 % of patients, pain was neuropathic, in 47.1 % – nociceptive, in 22.1 % – undetermined. MS patients with the neuropathic type of pain had significantly lower scores, 7 out of 11 indicators of quality of life, largely the mental component, than scores in MS patients with nociceptive type (Р < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed the association between an increase in the manifestation of neuropathic pain component and a decrease in all quality of life characteristics, except in health change. In MS patients with a neuropathic component, in increasing level of its manifestation, the mental component of health decreased clearly (r = -0.36; P ˂ 0.01), namely its social functioning characteristic (r = -0.35; P < 0.01).
Conclusions. In MS patients, increasing intensity of pain decreases both physical and mental components of quality of life with the most significant decrease in energy/fatigue and emotional well-being as parts of the mental component of quality of life. The neuropathic component of pain and the level of its manifestation are largely associated with a decrease in the mental component of quality of life as the overall indicator and social functioning as its structural element.
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (Hallerworden–Spatze disease): clinical aspects, diagnosis, treatment (literature review and own data)
Authors: Antypkin Yu. H. , Kyrylova L. H. , Miroshnykov O. O. , Yuzva O. O. , Silaieva L. Yu. , Berehela O. V. , Myroniak L. A.
Published: January 2022

Aim. To analyze current data of scientific literature on the etiology, pathogenesis, approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of rare orphan disease – pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration and to describe the clinical case of this disease.
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the PANK2 gene, which is located at the chromosomal locus: 20p13-p12.3.
The article presents a literature review and a case report of the diagnosis and treatment of 8-year-old girl with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration who suffered from progressive motor impairment.
Among the dominant clinical manifestations is a growing extrapyramidal motor disorder, the so-called “dystonic storm”, which can range from severe sensorimotor motor deficits in infants and young children to mild parkinsonism in adults. MRI signs in the form of specific changes in the T2-weighted mode, which detects typical areas of hyperintensive signal in globus pallidus, surrounded by a border of hypointensive signal (“tiger’s eye”) are particular important. Neuroimaging data most likely make possible to suspect a correct diagnosis, reducing the time and cost of additional examinations.
There is no pathogenetic treatment of this disease now. The main directions of currently available symptomatic drug therapy are described. Clinical trials of detoxifying drugs that reduce iron levels in the body (chelation) and surgical treatments are currently underway.
Conclusions. The presented clinical observation once again confirms the complexity of the diagnostic search for orphan diseases of the nervous system. A key place in the diagnosis of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration belongs to the neuroimaging methods and molecular genetic testing data.

Published: January 2022

The topical issue of pediatric surgery is the treatment of ovarian cysts based on the development of new technologies for surgical correction of the disease.
Aim. To analyze the effectiveness of using a new minimally invasive method for removal of cystic ovarian neoplasms in children.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 77 female patients with ovarian cysts, aged from 3 months to 17 years, was carried out. The patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the various surgical techniques used for their treatment. Group I consisted of 32 (41 %) girls who underwent cystectomy according to the new transabdominal technique for removing ovarian cysts in children. Group II included 19 (25 %) children who underwent a laparoscopic surgery. Group III comprised 26 (34 %) children who underwent a hybrid laparoscopy-assisted cystectomy. The following indicators were analyzed: the age of patients, the nature and number of complications of the disease course, the size of cystic neoplasms, the duration of surgical interventions, the number of cases accompanied by cyst contents leaking into the abdominal cavity during surgical manipulations, and the length of hospital stay.
Results. The mean age of all patients was 11.23 ± 0.57 years. Planned hospitalizations amounted to 46 (59.7 %) cases. The duration of surgery in group I was almost 1.5 times lower (P < 0.05) than that in patients of group II and 2 times shorter than in children of group III (P < 0.05). Free cyst contents leaking into the abdominal cavity was observed in 35 (91.4 %) patients of Group III, which required additional measures aimed at the abdominal cavity sanation. The proposed minimally invasive transabdominal surgical technique prevented this complication in all 32 patients of Group I. The length of hospital stay did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) between children groups I and II and did not exceed 7.50 ± 0.35 (M ± SEM) days. This indicator was almost 1.5 times higher in Group III patients.
Conclusions. The new minimally invasive transabdominal method for removing cystic ovarian neoplasms in children provided minimal trauma with maximum ablasticity and cosmetic effect of the operation. The proposed technique made it possible to prevent the development of intraoperative and postoperative complications, significantly reduce the duration of surgery and the recovery time of patients.

Published: January 2022

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of quercetin addition to the treatment regimen for patients with COVID-19 associated pneumonia.
Materials and methods. The effectiveness of two dosage forms of quercetin was studied in 200 patients, who were divided equally into the main and control groups. The main group patients received quercetin in addition to the basic therapy: intravenous drip of Quercetin/Polyvinylirolidone during the first 10 days followed by oral administration of Quercetin/Pectin over the next 10 days. Patients from the control group received only the basic therapy drugs.
The study evaluated the dynamics of the disease symptoms (saturation level, respiratory rate, body temperature, cough, general weakness), as well as laboratory markers (C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, D-dimer).
Results. Two dosage forms of quercetin consistently used in addition to the basic therapy improve pulmonary gas exchange and accelerate the lung function recovery. This is evidenced by a statistically significant majority of patients with positive dynamics in the symptoms of “Saturation level” and “Cough” as well as the meeting a complex indicator of the therapy effectiveness 2 days earlier than in the control group. The treatment regimen applied also helps to stabilize the level of D-dimer in the blood of the main group patients.
Conclusions. The use of two dosage forms of quercetin in addition to the basic therapy accelerates the recovery of patients with coronavirus disease associated pneumonia and can help to prevent the progression of COVID-19 associated coagulopathy.

Authors: Mykhaliuk Ye. L. , Syvolap V. V. , Horokhovskyi Ye. Yu.
Published: January 2022

The aim of this study was to compare the indices of heart rate variability, central hemodynamics and physical working capacity in female swimmers with different sports qualifications.
Materials and methods. The indices of heart rate variability (HRV), central hemodynamics (CH) and physical development (PD) were studied in 44 female swimmers (mean age 15.00 ± 0.36 years, swimming experience – 7.40 ± 0.35 years) depending on their sports qualifications (MSIC, MS, CMS, first- and second-class athletes). To analyze the autonomic regulation of cardiac activity, power spectral and time-domain indices of HRV were used. CH were examined by the method of automated tetrapolar rheography according to W. Kubiček et al. (1970) in Y. T. Pushkar’s et al. modification (1970). Physical working capacity was measured according to the generally accepted technique on a cycling ergometer using the PWC170 submaximal test. The functional state index (FSI) was calculated using the formula patented by authors.
Results. Significant differences were found between the indices of HRV, CH and PD in female swimmers with different qualifications. Thus, in the athletes with the MSIC–MS sports qualifications, heart rate was 61.0 ± 3.8 bpm, cardiac index (CI) – 2.978 ± 0.098 L·min-1·m-2 (there was a trend towards the eukinetic type of hemodynamics (TH)), stress index (SI) – 51.16 ± 12.66 relative units (r.u.), PWC170/kg – 16.98 ± 1.22 kgm·min-1·kg-1, FSI – 6.511 ± 0.422 r.u. A decrease in heart rate among them was correlated with a decrease in SI, and an increase in Mo – with a decrease in CI. In female CMS swimmers, heart rate was 61.37 ± 2.83 beats/min-1, CI – 3.021 ± 0.112 l -1min -1·m -2 , a trend towards the predominantly eukinetic TH, SI – 53.73 ± 9.41 r.u., PWC170 /kg– 14.66 ± 0.683 kgm·min-1·kg -1, FSI – 5.683 ± 0.324 r.u. Reduced values of SI and CI were associated with increased values of Mo and PWC170/kg. In first- and second-class female swimmers, heart rate was 63.05 ± 2.22 beats/min, SI – 50.62 ± 6.4 r.u. This group tended to be eytonic and eukinetic. The mean value of the PWC170/kg was 14.19 ± 0.589 kgm·min-1·kg-1 and FSI – 5.953 ± 0.337 r.u. Correlation analysis confirmed the relationship between the decrease in heart rate and CI and the increase in Mo and PWC170/kg.
Conclusions. Long-term training in female swimmers at the distance of 50 to 200 meters is accompanied by the significant increase in the PWC170/kg values with qualification improving, 14.19 ± 0.589 kgm·min-1·kg-1, 14.66 ± 0.683 kgm·min-1·kg-1; 16.98 ± 1.22 kgm·min-1·kg-1, respectively, improvements in HRV (decrease in stress index and increase in Mo) and decrease in CI.
Morbidity analysis of pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic (a literature review)
Authors: Bilous M. V. , Bilynska M. M.
Published: January 2022

The aim of the work is to analyze and summarize the literature data regarding the morbidity of pharmacists in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine the prospects for further research in this direction.
Results. The catastrophic spread of the coronavirus infection (COVID-19) across the planet has become a challenge to the resilience of healthcare systems around the world. Pharmacists, as part of the healthcare professional team, have a unique role in the ongoing global fight against the pandemic. At the same time they are directly influenced by adverse environmental factors. Based on the literature data integration, it was determined that pharmacists are exposed to psychological stress, they are susceptible to allergic, oncological diseases, as well as diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and to primary varicose veins of the lower extremities. In addition, when providing pharmaceutical care, pharmacists may be at a very high risk for COVID-19.
A review of scientific professional literature over the past 5 years has shown the lack of targeted research concerning the structure and level of morbidity with temporary disability of pharmacists in Ukraine and in other countries of the world. This fact and previously conducted studies give grounds to assert that there are significant difficulties in providing, collecting, accumulating and analyzing indicators of morbidity with temporary disability of pharmacists in Ukraine both at the state level and at the level of individual pharmaceutical enterprises.
Today, we need to develop a methodology for assessing the relationship between the morbidity of pharmacists and their working conditions, and to find fundamentally new approaches to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection. This should result in improvement of the working conditions in the pharmaceutical sector and in the health care sector in Ukraine.
Conclusions. Analysis and summary of literature data on the morbidity of pharmacists in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed the need for further scientific research regarding the substantiation of factors affecting the structure and level of their incidence. The pandemic has created a need to develop scientifically based measures to increase the resilience of workers in the pharmaceutical health sector of Ukraine to the negative factors of the working environment impact on their life andhealth.
Breathing exercises with PEEP: efficiency and duration for correcting the cardiovascular system functional state in older patients with COPD
Authors: Asanov E. O. , Holubova Yu. I. , Dyba I. A. , Asanova S. O.
Published: January 2022

The aim of the work is to find out the effectiveness and duration of the breathing exercises with PEEP action on the cardiovascular system state in older patients with COPD.
Materials and methods. A total of 35 patients with COPD aged 60–74 years were examined. All the patients were divided into two groups: the main group (18 people) who received breathing exercises with PEEP, and the control group (17 people) who received simulated exercises. The cardiovascular system state was assessed. The examinations were performed in the initial state (before training), immediately after, one month later, and three months after the training course.
Results. The cardiovascular system state improved as a result of breathing exercises with PEEP in older patients with COPD. At the same time, the duration of the breathing exercises with PEEP action was short; the effect of their use was not preserved in a month. Relationships between shifts in SpO2 and cardiac output, as well as between shifts in SpO2 and peripheral vascular resistance immediately after the use of breathing exercises with PEEP in older patients with COPD have been established. A more significant and prolonged effect of breathing exercises with PEEP on the cardiovascular system functional state was observed in older COPD patients with more severe symptoms of the disease.
Conclusions. The increase in cardiovascular performance was influenced by breathing exercises with PEEP in older COPD patients due to the improved lung oxygenation capacity. The effect of breathing exercises with PEEP remained within a month after the training course and was more stable and longer in patients with severe clinical symptoms. Older COPD patients are advised to repeat the courses of breathing exercises with PEEP every month.

Authors: Kentesh O. P. , Nemesh M. I. , Palamarchuk O. S. , Savka Yu. M. , Slyvka Ya. I. , Feketa V. P.
Published: January 2022

The aim of the work. To analyze the results of endothelium-dependent vasodilation of the brachial artery in persons with different content of body weight components and to develop models for predicting the response of endothelium-dependent vasodilation based on the parameters of body weight components.
Materials and methods. In total, 31 young men were examined and divided into three groups depending on the total body fat value: 16 people (51.6 %) – group I, 11 people (35.5 %) – group II and 4 people (12.9 %) – group III. Determination of such parameters as body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), the percentage of total fat (TFP, %), the visceral fat content (VFC, units) and the content of free-fat mass (FFM,%) was performed using a bioimpedance analyzer TANITA BC-601.
Endothelial regulation was assessed on the basis of vasomotor dilation of the brachial artery activity before and after the occlusion test using a four-channel rheograph ReoCom (XAI-MEDICA).
Results. During the occlusion test, three types of endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDVD) were identified in individuals exa­mined. 62.50 % of men in group I had a normoergic reaction of the brachial artery, 31.25 % had a hyperergic and 6.25 % had a hypoergic reaction. Among group II persons, a normoergic type of post-occlusive reaction was in 45.4 %, hyperergic – in 36.4 %, and hypoergic type – in 18.2 %. Regarding group III, 75 % of individuals had the hyperergic type of endothelium-dependent vasodilation, 25 % had the normoergic type, and no hypoergic type of reaction was observed at all. To determine the endothelial vasoregulatory function on the basis of correlation-regression analysis, models were constructed with coefficients of determination R2 of 0.277 (BMI), 0.126 (TFP), 0.189 (VFC) and 0.146 (FFM). The models themselves had the following form: between EDVD and BMI – y = -4.5297 + 0.865x; TFP – y = 10.7389 + 0.4x; VFC – y =13.8119 + 1.0041x; FFM – y = 52.7904 – 0.4464x. In addition, statistically significant correlations were found between them – from r = +0.335 to r = +0.526.
Conclusions. The data obtained allow us to note that the functional state of the endothelium and its activity depends on the content of body weight components in the organism.
Metodologia archeologii/prahistorii profesora dr. hab. Jana Żaka (1923–1990) po 30 latach. Między modernistycznymi dążeniami a postmodernistyczną rzeczywistością
Authors: Minta-Tworzowska Danuta
Published: January 2022

January 4, 2020 was the 30th anniversary of the death of Professor Jan Żak, who died prematurely at the age of 67. His work and scientific activities were known and appreciated in  various countries and during difficult times when he was professionally involved in archeology. The biography of Professor Jan Żak resulted largely from the spirit of the times in which he lived, but also from his open, curious personality. He touched the warfare, and his professional life took place in the realities of the People's Republic of Poland; he also witnessed its dramatic end. The aim of this article is not only to recall the methodological and theoretical foundations of J. Żak's scientific work, but also to try to answer the question about the contemporary methodology of archeology, practiced by the Professor's students and subsequent generations.
The attitudes of the contemporary Poles towards the archaeological past
Authors: Pawleta Michał
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to present how the past is viewed in contemporary cultural and social narratives, and defines contemporary attitude to the past among Poles. My deliberations are placed in the context of the present-day society/culture and their constituting processes, namely the phenomenon of forgetting the past, democratization of the past, its privatization/individualization, commodification of the past and new ways of experiencing it. The paper will specifically concentrate on the archaeological past - that is the past created by archaeologists, and on archaeological heritage. It address three crucial issues, namely: (1) how changes in the historical context of post-1989 Poland influenced the emergence the renaissance of the past and different narratives about it; (2) what are the most important and widespread forms of presenting and/or experiencing the archaeological past in the present?, and (3) what are the main motivations that lie behind contemporary Poles interest in the past, archaeological heritage and activities undertaken around it? Finally, it is argued that the changes in the people’s attitudes towards the past have led also to a transformation in the hierarchy of aims and methods in education and dissemination of the knowledge about the past within institutions concerned with the past on a professional level.

Diversity Through Bureaucracy: System Judges and Intersectional Diversification of the Israeli Judiciary
Authors: Jasper Alon
Published: January 2022

This article examines the role bureaucracy has in enhancing the social diversity of judiciaries. It does so by analyzing the Israeli judiciary and its reforms over the last three decades, and the interaction of these reforms with the appearance of intersectional judges—Arab women, Jewish women of Orthodox background, and Jewish women from geographic and economic peripheries—into the Israeli judiciary. Based on an original empirical study, the article shows that the career paths of intersectional judges include administrative roles in the judiciary more often than non-intersectional judges. The article further demonstrates how these administrative career paths were shaped by bureaucratic-minded reforms. The Israeli case study thus shows how the bureaucratic design of the judiciary can accommodate diversity efforts, sometimes unintendedly, and discusses the merits, boundaries, and drawbacks of such bureaucratic design.

Nanoscale particles and structures hold promise in circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy for overcoming the weakness of molecular CD signals. Significant effort have been made to characterize nanophotonic CD enhancement and find efficient ways to boost molecular chirality, but the best solution is yet to be found. In this paper, we present a rigorous analytic study of the nanophotonic CD enhancement of typical nanoparticles. We consider metallic and dielectric nanoparticles capped with chiral molecules and analyze the effect of multipolar nanoparticles on the molecular CD. We identify the spectral features of the molecular CD resulting from the electric and magnetic resonances of nanoparticles and suggest better ways to boost molecular chirality. We also clarify the contribution of particle scattering and absorption to the molecular CD and the dependence on particle size. Our work provides an exact analytic approach to nanophotonic CD enhancement and offers a rule for selecting the most efficient particle for sensitive molecular chirality detection.
The Bureau and the Realism of Spy Fiction
Authors: Blistène Pauline
Published: January 2022

This article addresses the issue of realism in relationship to contemporary serial fiction. Drawing on The Bureau (Canal+, 2015–2020), it argues that spy TV series are “realistic” not because they correspond to reality but because of their impact on reality. It begins by giving an overview of the many ways in which “realism,” in the ordinary sense of a resemblance with reality, served as the working framework for The Bureau’s team. It then identifies three distinct types of realisms in the series. The first is a “fictional realism,” namely the ability of The Bureau to conform to the aesthetic and narrative conventions of realistic fictions. The second type of realism, which I qualify as “ordinary,” refers to the possibilities offered by the show’s aesthetics and the enmeshment of The Bureau with viewers’ ordinary experience. The third type of “performative realism” refers to the series’ impact on shared representations and reality. By providing a common language about the secret activities of the state, The Bureau has gone from being a framed version of reality to being one of the defining frameworks through which state secrecy is experienced both individually and collectively, by insiders and the public at large.
Informing Consent: A Grounded Theory Study of Parents of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Youth Seeking Gender-Confirming Endocrinological Interventions
Authors: Shepard Charles F. , Green Darius A. , Fleitas Karli M. , Sturm Debbie C.
Published: January 2022

This qualitative grounded theory study is the first of its kind aimed at understanding the decision-making process of parents and guardians of transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth providing informed consent for their children to undergo gender-confirming endocrinological interventions (GCEI), such as hormone replacement therapy and puberty blockers. Using primarily intensive interviews supported by observational field notes and document review, this study examined the decision-making processes of a national sample of participants who identified as a parent or legal guardian of at least one TGD youth and who have given informed consent for the youth in their care to undergo GCEI. A variety of inhibiting and contributing factors were illuminated as well as a “dissonance-to-consonance” model that participants used to combine contributing factors to overcome inhibitors and grant informed consent. Implications for professional counseling practitioners are discussed, including guidance for direct services, gatekeeping, case management, and advocacy functions.
Behind the Curtain: Ballet Dancers’ Mental Health
Authors: Gregory J. Claire , Interiano-Shiverdecker Claudia G.
Published: January 2022

Using Moustakas’s modification of Van Kaam’s systematic procedures for conducting transcendental phenomenological research, we explored ballet culture and identity and their impact on ballet dancers’ mental health. Participants included four current professional ballet dancers and four previous professionals. Four main themes emerged: (a) ballet culture—“it’s not all tutus and tiaras”; (b) professional ballet dancers’ identity—“it is a part of me”; (c) mental health experiences—“you have to compartmentalize”; and (d) counseling and advocacy—“the dance population is unique.” Suggestions for counselors when working with professional ballet dancers and professional athletes, such as fostering awareness about ballet culture and its impact on ballet dancers’ identity and mental health, are provided. We also discuss recommendations to develop future research focusing on mental health treatment for this population.
Monogenic diabetes due to an INSR mutation in a child with severe insulin resistance
Authors: Sanderson Elaine E , Shah Mark , Hooper Amanda J , Bell Damon A , Choong Catherine S
Published: January 2022

We report a case of an 11-year-old girl presenting with a new diagnosis of diabetes associated with a heterozygous missense mutation in the insulin receptor (INSR) gene. This case highlights that INSR gene variants can be a cause for monogenic diabetes in children and adolescents and the need for genetic evaluation in atypical presentations of diabetes. We also describe the possible role of metformin in treating individuals with type A insulin resistance syndrome due to INSR gene variants.

Learning points

Insulin receptor (INSR) gene variants can be a cause of monogenic diabetes in children and adolescents.

Genetic evaluation should be considered in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly where there is an atypical presentation and/or positive family history.

Metformin may have a role in the treatment of type A insulin resistance syndrome due to heterozygous mutation of the INSR gene.
Scientific Evaluation of Student Assignments at Basic Education Levels
Authors: Hua Mengyuan , Zhou Longjun
Published: January 2022

Assignments are effective means to assess students’ learning results. Students can consolidate their knowledge through school assignments and use their knowledge to solve problems. Assignments include in-class assignments and after-class assignments. In-class assignments are not only a basic component of classroom teaching, but also assessment of students’ mastery of knowledge. After-class assignments are complementary to students’ classroom learning and of equal value to in-class assignments. At basic education levels, proper assignmentloads are necessary. Students’ learning lacks assessment without assignments; Learning without assessment is unacceptable and even brings disastrous consequences (Bai, 2010).

Authors: Dhanireddy Ramasubbareddy , Scott Patricia A. , Barker Brenda , Scott Theresa A.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

We report a statewide quality improvement initiative aimed to decrease the incidence of extrauterine growth restriction among very low birth weight infants cared for in Tennessee NICUs.

METHODS

The cohort consisted of infants born appropriate for gestational age between May 2016 and December 2018 from 9 NICUs across Tennessee. The infants were 23 to 32 weeks gestation and 500 to 1499 g birth weight. The process measures were the hours of life (HOL) when parenteral protein and intravenous lipid emulsion were initiated, the number of days to first enteral feeding, and attainment of full enteral caloric intake (110–130 kcal/kg per day). The primary outcome was extrauterine growth restriction, defined as weight <10th percentile for weight at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. Statistical process control charts and the Shewhart control rules were used to find special cause variation.

RESULTS

Although special cause variation was not indicated in the primary outcome measure, it was indicated for the reduction in specific process measures: HOL when parenteral protein was initiated, HOL when intravenous lipid emulsion was initiated, and the number of days to attainment of full enteral caloric intake (among the hospitals considered regional perinatal centers).

CONCLUSIONS

A statewide quality improvement initiative led to earlier initiation of parenteral and enteral nutrition and improved awareness of the importance of postnatal nutrition.

Alejandro Catalán, Bernardo Cappa y Analía Couceyro: las trazas del discurso de la praxis en el teatro argentino contemporáneo
Authors: Pessolano Carla
Published: January 2022

En el teatro argentino contemporáneo hay un grupo de creadores que produce saberes desde las propias prácticas y que comparte un lenguaje sin saberlo. Sus ligazones fácticas suelen ser esporádicas, temporarias y circunstanciales, pero ese lenguaje se expande sin detenerse. Se contagia y va transitando el campo teatral nacional de manera subterránea trascendiendo las poéticas. En este trabajo, la puesta en valor de esos saberes singulares y específicos de la escena pretende visibilizar un espacio de reflexión que cuenta con su propia tradición, tanto para la creación artística como para la producción de conocimiento que de ella emana. A partir de tres referentes clave, en este artículo se intentarán desplegar las líneas fundacionales de ese lenguaje secreto que se ha ido transmitiendo a lo largo de los años dentro del territorio de la escena de Buenos Aires, Argentina y, al hacerlo, se expondrán los rasgos de un pensamiento autónomo que emana de esas prácticas singulares.Palabras clave: teatro contemporáneo; actor; artes escénicas; teatro nacional; creación artística
Pre-Saiva Mahakala of Ujjayini
Authors: Száler Péter
Published: January 2022

Ujjayini, one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites, is widely known as Siva’s city. The great deity of the famous Mahakala temple has been worshipped as its main patron until the present day. However, Phyllis Granoff has demonstrated that some early sources such as the Harivamsa (112.125–26) as well as the Brhatkathaslokasamgraha (1.4.) regard Mahakala as Siva’s gana, and therefore she concluded that Mahakala was originally a local god whom the Saivas step by step adopted at first as Siva’s gana, then as the hypostasis of the great deity himself. This article attempts to develop further Granoff’s hypothesis and tries to reconstruct, as far as possible, the figure of the so-called pre-Saiva Mahakala . In this way, it analyses the myths of the region, such as the Jaina tale of Kalaka, the Bana legends as well as the Kartavirya legends, and searches for common motives which may help to define the main characteristics of the local cult before Saivism became dominant.

The aim: to determine the possible relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the presence of atherosclerosis of the brachiocephalic vessels in persons aged 40–60 years for the possibility of early prevention of cardiovascular events.

Materials and methods: to do this, we reviewed articles using open sources such as PubMED, Medscape and Cochrane library, highlighting the relationship between the development of atherosclerosis and the presence and severity of COPD. Also, based on the University Clinic of ONMedU and Military Clinical Center of the Southern Region, a retrospective analysis of patients with an inconclusively confirmed diagnosis of COPD and conducted biochemical blood tests was carried out in order to study changes in the lipid profile and the presence of BCS in these patients.

Result: In the course of a retrospective analysis of patients, a relationship was found between the presence of BCA atherosclerosis and the presence of COPD, and based on the literature data, a parallel was drawn between changes in the lipid profile in patients with COPD. But, in view of the insufficient number of patients, this topic requires additional research.

Conclusions: thus, based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that there is a connection between the presence of COPD, changes in the lipid profile, and the presence of BCА atherosclerosis. This connection can become one of the key mechanisms of early diagnosis of BCА atherosclerosis
