Abstract Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of telemedicine using a standardized multiorgan ultrasound assessment protocol to guide untrained on-site general practitioners at a field hospital during a life-threatening crisis. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 11 inpatients with shock, with or without acute dyspnea, for whom general practitioners spontaneously requested remote evaluation by a specialist. Results: All of the general practitioners accepted the protocol and were able to position the transducer correctly, thus obtaining key images of the internal jugular vein, lungs, and inferior vena cava when guided remotely by a telemedicine physician, who interpreted all of the findings. However, only four (36%) of the on-site general practitioners obtained the appropriate key image of the heart in the left parasternal long-axis view, and only three (27%) received an immediate interpretation of an image from the remote physician. The mean evaluation time was 22.7 ± 12 min (range, 7-42 min). Conclusion: Even in life-threatening situations, untrained general practitioners may be correctly guided by telemedicine specialists to perform multiorgan point-of-care ultrasound in order to improve bedside diagnostic evaluation.
Cine phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics in healthy pediatric subjects
Authors: Plata Karen Sousa , Cruz Gerardo , Lezcano Hector
Published: May 2022

Abstract Objective: To evaluate cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, using cine phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (cine-PC MRI), in healthy pediatric subjects, determining the normal flow values in this population, as well as identifying differences related to age, sex, and body surface area. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 32 healthy children and adolescents, in whom the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the cerebral aqueduct was evaluated quantitatively with cine-PC MRI. We used specialized software to analyze the images obtained with cine-PC MRI, drawing a region of interest on the aqueduct. A flow-time curve was obtained, as were automated measurements of the various parameters. Results: The following normal (mean) values were obtained: net flow, 1.10 ± 0.99 mL/m; stroke volume, 12.2 ± 10.1 μL/cycle; mean velocity, 0.72 ± 1.00 cm/s; peak systolic velocity, 5.28 ± 2.30 cm/s; peak diastolic velocity, 4.51 ± 1.77 cm/s. These values were not affected by age or sex. In addition, body surface area was not found to correlate significantly with mean velocity or stroke volume. Conclusion: In children and adolescents, the basic cerebrospinal fluid flow parameters, as determined by cine-PC MRI, appear to be independent of age and sex.

Published: May 2022

Abstract Objective: To promote advanced research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of and screening for osteoporosis by looking for correlations among the T-scores measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and the T1-weighted signal intensity values. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of postmenopausal women with no contraindications to MRI and no history of cancer who underwent DEXA within 30 days before or after the MRI examination. A 3.0-T scanner was used in order to acquire sagittal sequences targeting the lumbar spine. Results: Thirteen women underwent DEXA and MRI. In two cases, the MRI was discontinued early. Therefore, the final sample comprised 11 patients. The ADC values and T1-weighted signal intensity were found to be higher in patients with osteoporosis. However, among the patients > 60 years of age with osteoporosis, ADC values were lower and T1-weighted signal intensity was even higher. Conclusion: It is unlikely that MRI will soon replace DEXA for the diagnostic workup of osteoporosis. Although DWI and ADC mapping are useful for understanding the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, we believe that T1-weighted sequences are more sensitive than is DWI as a means of performing a qualitative analysis of vertebral alterations.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the maximum and mean standardized uptake values, together with the metabolic tumor value and the total lesion glycolysis, at the primary tumor site, as determined by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT), performed before and after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), as predictors of residual disease (RD) in patients with esophageal cancer. Materials and Methods: The standardized uptake values and the volumetric parameters (metabolic tumor value and total lesion glycolysis) were determined by 18F-FDG-PET/CT to identify RD in 39 patients before and after nCRT for esophageal carcinoma. We used receiver operating characteristic curves to analyze the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG-PET/CT parameters in the definition of RD. The standard of reference was histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen. Results: Eighteen patients (46%) presented RD after nCRT. Statistically significant areas under the curve (approximately 0.72) for predicting RD were obtained for all four of the variables evaluated after nCRT. Considering the presence of visually detectable uptake (higher than the background level) at the primary tumor site after nCRT as a positive result, we achieved a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 48% for the detection of RD. Conclusion: The use of 18F-FDG-PET/CT can facilitate the detection of RD after nCRT in patients with esophageal cancer.
EL ENFOQUE DE LA NEUTRALIDAD Y LA SEXUALIDAD DEL DASEIN EN LA ANALÍTICA DE HEIDEGGER ENTRE 1927-1929
Authors: Butierrez Luis Fernando
Published: May 2022

RESUMEN En este trabajo analizaremos las consideraciones sobre la neutralidad y la sexualidad del Dasein en sus articulaciones con la dispersión fáctica y la libertad en las elaboraciones de Heidegger entre 1927 y 1929.En este marco nos proponemos argumentar que tales consideraciones tienen como función poner de manifiesto el carácter primario de la estructura ontológica del Ser-con y el horizonte originario de la temporeidad, desde la cual circunscribe el empuje de las dinámicas respectivas. Para ello, en primer lugar analizaremos la consideración de la neutralidad y la dispersión en Sein und Zeit en el marco de sus especificaciones respecto del Dasein cotidiano. Luego, distinguiremos las especificaciones y reelaboraciones en su curso de Marburg (1928), respecto del estatuto ontológico que le confiere a la neutralidad en sus relaciones con la concreción fáctica y la libertad. Finalmente dedicaremos el último apartado al análisis e interpretación del sentido de la neutralidad y la dispersión que articula de modo diferencial en su curso de Freiburg (1928-1929). Junto a ello, buscamos aportar con la clarificación del lugar que ocupa las consideraciones de la corporalidad física en este período, en diálogo con interpretaciones relevantes de su obra.
CONTRA UNA INTERPRETACIÓN REDUCCIONISTA DEL MÉTODO EXPERIMENTAL DE DAVID HUME*
Authors: Calvente Sofia
Published: May 2022

RESUMEN Existe cierta interpretación restringida de la metodología humeana que entiende su experimentalismo únicamente en términos de la reducción de los enunciados epistémicos a impresiones sensibles de carácter privado accesibles mediante la introspección. Nos proponemos revisar esta interpretación a partir de la crítica a la vinculación que establece entre la máxima de no ir más allá de la experiencia y el principio de la copia. Mostraremos que esta interpretación no se condice con el modo en que Hume concibe el método experimental, ya que hay evidencia textual para proponer que la experiencia no debe entenderse sólo en términos de impresiones sensibles, y que la ciencia de la naturaleza humana no se restringe al estudio de los contenidos mentales exclusivamente, sino que se nutre de la observación de la interacción social de igual modo. Finalmente, dejaremos en claro que el método que Hume propone no impide la verificación intersubjetiva de la evidencia empírica, ya que el principio de la simpatía posibilita la comunicación de los estados mentales, lo que los despoja de su carácter privado.
O ESPECTRO DO CO-IMUNISMO”: QUESTÕES CRÍTICAS ACERCA DAS PROPOSTAS DE SLOTERDIJK AO ANTROPOCENO
Authors: Pitta Maurício Fernando
Published: May 2022

RESUMO Este artigo busca levantar algumas questões a respeito da proposta do filósofo alemão Peter Sloterdijk ao Antropoceno, termo em debate que define a época na qual o ser humano (ocidental e moderno, para autores como Déborah Danowski e Eduardo Viveiros de Castro) se configurou como um agente de transformação geológica e climática. O debate faz-se pertinente por conta da proximidade de Sloterdijk com nomes como Bruno Latour e Yuk Hui, autores que, de forma central ou tangencial, se debruçam sobre este problema. Neste artigo, começaremos trazendo alguns dos principais conceitos sloterdijkianos de sua obra recente (esfera, imunidade, homeotécnica) para, em seguida, analisar suas propostas de ‘paradigma homeotécnico’ e de ‘coimunismo’, levantando, ao fim, questões pertinentes às propostas mencionadas.
DIAGRAMÁTICA VITAL: POLARIDAD DE LA VIDA EN NIETZSCHE Y FREUD
Authors: Zengotita Alonso
Published: May 2022

RESUMEN En el presente trabajo se buscará dar cuenta diagramáticamente del alcance y extensión del concepto de vida en Freud y Nietzsche, al pensar sus límites en términos de polos -instancias no alcanzables vitalmente, que marcan la frontera a partir de la cual se extiende el ‘más allá’ de la vida. Dicho de otro modo: haciendo uso de un diagrama, se buscará dar cuenta del carácter de lo vital para Nietzsche - al pensar a la vida como Wille zur Macht - y Freud - desde su último modelo pulsional - no solo en cuanto a su particularidad, sino en función de lo que resulta en cada caso el límite mismo de la vida - es decir, aquello que marca el pasaje a otra cosa que la vida.

Published: May 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as vivências e possíveis efeitos da participação em grupos de Ouvidores de Vozes. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo com participantes acima de 18 anos, que concordaram em fazer parte do estudo e frequentaram os grupos por um período mínimo de três meses. Foram realizadas 14 entrevistas até obtenção de saturação em grupos de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial, em seguida transcritas e analisadas usando a hermenêutica Gadameriana. A análise evidenciou cinco núcleos argumentais: a chegada no grupo; modo de funcionamento; uso de medicamentos; sentidos e efeitos. Demonstrou-se que os grupos podem ser uma das estratégias de cuidado e recuperação dos indivíduos, permitindo com que as suas experiências sejam reconhecidas e ressignificadas, promovendo, além da melhora clínica, acolhimento, compartilhamento entre pares e socialização.

A noção lacaniana de imaginarização: a clínica psicanalítica e seus desdobramentos no social
Authors: Bacelar Joyce , Coutinho Denise
Published: May 2022

Este ensaio teórico-clínico aborda a noção de imaginarização, apenas mencionada por Lacan em três passagens de sua obra, a fim de compreender algumas manifestações clínicas e processos de segregação contemporâneos. A hipótese é de que a imaginarização é o cerne de uma operação que pode conduzir o sujeito a um modo específico e fixado de gozo. A questão principal é o tipo de relação com o objeto a e o que pode derivar desse processo no que diz respeito à economia de gozo. Aborda-se o discurso contemporâneo, sublinhando modos de gozo que podem derivar desse processo. Como se trata de manifestações sintomáticas contemporâneas na clínica, demonstram-se derivações do singular (registro por excelência da clínica psicanalítica) ao particular, no engate do sujeito com o laço social.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of the ruminal fluid and histological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of sheep on a high-grain diet containing the probiotic fungi Aspergillus terreus and Rhizomucor spp. The study included four treatment groups (without probiotic, with Rhizomucor spp., with Aspergillus terreus, and with a mixture of both fungi), and two types of corn (ground/whole), in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) arranged in 4 x 2 factorial design. Santa Inês x Dorper lambs were housed in eight pens with five lambs each for 75 days. Rumen fluid was collected to study the rumen microbiological profile, macroscopic characteristics, ammonia nitrogen concentration, and microbiological activity. In addition, GIT samples were taken for histological analysis. Fluid analyses showed that the animals presented a low acidosis index. The samples presented a predominantly aromatic odor and blackish-brown color, indicating a neutral pH and high microbial activity. The rumen pH differed (P < 0.05) according to the level of processed corn consumed, being higher for ground grain corn (GGC). There was no difference for any of the microbiological communities analyzed (P > 0.05) (Lac+ and Lac- bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and protozoa). Six genera of facultative anaerobic fungi were identified in 15 observations. Cladosporium spp. was the most prevalent genus (46.66%), followed by Aspergillus spp. (26,66%). The width of the base of rumen papillae showed significant correlation being greater for GCG (P < 0.05) with Rhizomucor and for the control (P < 0.05). The rumen fluid of sheep on a high-grain diet with added Aspergillus terreus and Rhizomucor spp. showed no microbiological and physicochemical changes.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar as características microbiológicas e físico-químicas do fluido ruminal e histológicas do trato gástrico intestinal (TGI) de ovinos sob dieta de alto grão com probiótico fungos Aspergillus terreus e/ou Rhizomucor spp. Analisou-se quatro probióticos (sem inóculos, com Rhizomucor spp., com Aspergillus terreus e com mistura dos dois fungos) e dois processamentos de milho (moído/inteiro), em fatorial 4x2 em em Delineamento Inteiramente Casualizados (DIC). Borregos Santa Inês/Dorper foram alojados em oito baias com cinco borregos em cada, durante 75 dias. Coletou-se fluido ruminal para o estudo do perfil microbiológico do rúmen, da característica macroscópica, da concentração de nitrogênio amoniacal e da atividade microbiológica, além dos fragmentos do TGI para análises histológicas. Pelas análises dos fluidos, os animais apresentaram baixo índice de acidose. O odor aromático e a cor castanho-enegrecido predominaram, o que caracteriza ambiente com pH neutro. As amostras do fluido apresentaram alta atividade microbiana. O pH ruminal diferenciou-se (P<0,05) quanto ao tipo de processamento, sendo maior para milho grão moído (MGM). Não houve diferença para nenhuma das comunidades microbiológicas analisadas (P>0,05) (bactérias Lac+ e Lac-, fungos, leveduras e protozoários). Seis gêneros de fungos anaeróbicos facultativos foram identificados num total de 15 observações. O Cladosporium spp. foi o gênero mais prevalente (46,66%), seguido do Aspergillus spp. (26,66%). A largura da base das papilas ruminais apresentou interação significativa, sendo maior para MGM (P<0,05) com Rhizomucor e o controle (P<0,05). O fluido ruminal de ovinos sob dieta de alto concentrado de grão com adição dos fungos Aspergillus terreus e Rhizomucor spp. não tiveram afetadas as características microbiológicas e físico-químicas.

Resumo A sinovite pode ser induzida em animais por meio da aplicação de lipopolissacarídeo de parede bacteriana, e apresenta sinais semelhantes à sinovite causada de forma natural. Diversos estudos têm sido realizados utilizando a espécie ovina como modelo experimental na compreensão das enfermidades osteoarticulares da articulação femorotibiopatelar (FTP) em humanos. Existem estudos ecográficos quanto a padronização da normalidade da articulação femorotibiopatelar em ovinos. Porém, para as alterações, como a sinovite aguda há lacuna na literatura. Objetivou-se descrever, de forma seriada, os aspectos ultrassonográficos do processo de sinovite induzida por infiltração intra-articular de lipopolissacarídeo de Escherichia coli (E. coli) na articulação femorotibiopatelar de ovinos. Foram utilizados 12 ovinos mestiços (Santa Inês x Dorper), hígidos. A indução da sinovite foi realizada apenas nas articulações FTP direitas, as quais foram avaliadas, por meio do exame ultrassonográfico de forma seriada, nos momentos basal (M0) e às 12 (M12), 24 (M24), 48 (M48), 72 (M72) e 120 (M120) horas após a infiltração com lipopolissacarídeo para a indução de sinovite. A aplicação intra-articular de lipopolissacarídeo de E. coli resultou em um ou mais sinais ecográficos de sinovite (aumento de volume do fluido sinovial, pregueamento da membrana sinovial e celularidade na cavidade articular), os quais foram identificados precocemente, 12 horas após a inoculação, e regrediram ao longo dos tempos avaliados (p=0,0001), até desaparecerem após 120 horas da inoculação.
EFEITOS DA FINANCEIRIZAÇÃO SOBRE O INVESTIMENTO PRODUTIVO: EVIDÊNCIAS PARA AS EMPRESAS BRASILEIRAS NÃO-FINANCEIRAS DE CAPITAL ABERTO (2010 A 2016)
Authors: Martins Isabella Oliveira , Miranda Bernardo Pádua Jardim de , Matos Cirlene Maria de , Missio Fabrício José
Published: May 2022

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo é investigar o impacto da financeirização sobre o investimento produtivo das empresas brasileiras não-financeiras de capital aberto no período de 2010 a 2016. Para isto, foi estimado um modelo dinâmico de dados em painel por meio do Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) utilizando os dados contábeis e financeiros dessas empresas. Os resultados mostraram que o endividamento, o custo do capital, o pagamento de juros sobre o capital próprio e dividendos prejudicaram o investimento produtivo das empresas não-financeiras, enquanto o lucro operacional o afetou positivamente. Isso demonstra que existe um processo de financeirização nas empresas brasileiras e que esse fenômeno impacta negativamente o investimento produtivo.
WHICH CHARACTERISTICS OF PRICE-FIXING AGREEMENTS ARE RELATED TO A GREATER DAMAGE TO CONSUMERS?
Authors: Pinha Lucas Campio
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Despite the deterrence effect generated by antitrust laws, the fact is that many collusive agreements end up forming in the economy. An essential task is to understand how distinct market characteristics affect cartel profits and damages. This paper develops a theoretical model to assess which characteristics of price-fixing agreements are related to greater damage to consumers. Results indicate the following characteristics as responsible for greater damage: higher product similarity (substitutability); lower elasticity of demand (in absolute values); greater number of members; higher demand potential; and a higher velocity of transactions. Price-fixing agreements that have these characteristics more intensely, in comparison to others, tend to be more harmful to consumers, and, therefore, should be prioritized by antitrust authorities regarding detection, prosecution, and punishment.
Emotions in a Brazilian teacher’s experience report on remote English teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Carneiro Karoline Zilah Santos , Lima Samuel de Carvalho
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Grounded on the dialogical perspective of language and the critical approach to the study of language teacher emotions, this paper aims to discuss the emotions of an English teacher in her remote teaching experience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a case study based on the discourse analysis of the teacher’s experience report during her participation in a roundtable discussion about English teaching in pandemic times. The online event took place in the first semester of 2020, during the University Week of a college located in the countryside of Ceará State, Brazil. Considering the concrete context and the broader contexts of discursive production, our analysis of the teacher’s utterance indicates the predominance of emotional distress in power relations, especially, with academic, pedagogical, and legislative discourses. Notwithstanding, she reveals self-confidence in face of the demand for frequently using the computer and WhatsApp in remote language teaching.
Racialized Emotions in Langauge Teaching: A Case Study with Black Female Teachers
Authors: Oliveira Layenne Humberto de , Oliveira Ana Cláudia Turcato de
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT In this text, we seek to discuss issues on a topic a little debated in Applied Linguistics - the emotions of black English teachers. Since the advent of the affective turn, studies on identity and emotions have increased exponentially, both in Brazil and abroad (ARAGÃO; BARCELOS, 2018). However, there is still a lot to investigate regarding studies between emotions, power relations, and race (AHMED, 2004, 2009; BOLER; ZEMBYLAS, 2003). In this sense, this work aims to investigate how the emotions of black English teachers are racialized in different contexts. Therefore, in this case study semi-structured interviews were used and the narratives of three black teachers were analyzed. We conclude that the emotions of these teachers are discursively constituted, influenced by the colonial heritage, producing emotional labor.
In my shoes: empathy and critical emotional literacy in EFL lessons
Authors: Tagata William Mineo
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Part of an autoethnographic research project, this article reflects on two English lessons in which my undergraduate students were invited to discuss empathy in times of Covid-19 pandemic. I begin by arguing for the relevance of empathy and contextualizing my interest in the investigation of emotions in ELT, as well as my theoretical framework, which draws on the convergence of emotional and critical literacy theories. Next I provide an account of my lessons, based on an art installation entitled “The Empathy Museum”. My analysis of the lessons seeks to investigate the extent to which they were able to promote what Boler (1997) has termed a “semiotics of empathy”. I conclude by stressing the importance of emotional and critical literacy theories for formulating educational policies committed to political and social changes.
A Systemic View on Emotion and eflection in Language Teacher Education Research
Authors: Aragão Rodrigo Camargo
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT This article aims at looking into the inter-relationship among emotions and language in reflective processes fostered by qualitative research in language teacher education. My goal is to advance our understanding of this phenomenon with an assemblage of conceptual tools such as languaging, emotioning, conversation, reflection and orthogonal interactions. Based on Maturana and Davilla’s (2009) Matrix of Human Existence, I put together a conceptual model that may help researchers further understand and foster structured reflective spaces about emotions in language education. I discuss some challenges of our post-modern bio-cultural age and offer the practice of liberating conversation as a means to move forward. I then discuss some studies from the literature of emotions in language teacher education in light of the conceptual framework presented based on Maturana (2001, 2004) and Maturana and Davila (2009). Finally, I draw some implications and highlight the importance of this theme for the present moment.
Physical education and health: the understanding of teachers and school managers
Authors: Silva Marcelo Andrade , OLIVEIRA ROGÉRIO CRUZ DE
Published: May 2022

The aim was to analyze the understanding of health and its relation with physical education from the perspective of teachers and managers of a public school of the state of São Paulo. It is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. Eleven teachers two coordinators were volunteers. Data were produced using semi-structured interviews and data analysis by non-aprioristic categories. Health was understood, mainly, based on the perspective of well-being, as well as the realization of body practices as a link between physical education and health in the school context. Thus, physical education has a promising path to meet the critical pedagogies regarding the approach to health, especially in the confrontation with the active lifestyle.

Comparative Analysis of English Prepositions In and On Translated Into Albanian
Authors: Brestovci Meliha , Sinani Arsim
Published: May 2022

The most common use of prepositions is to express the meaning of words placed before a noun or a pronoun, and as such they are used very frequently. The English language as well as the Albanian language, uses prepositions frequently, thus enriching the given language and allowing for a clearer expression of the functions of a sentence. This research is centered around certain prepositions in English which have a high frequency of use, and yet are quite simple. While comparing them, we will deepen the knowledge of these most frequent prepositions in English, their use and how they are translated into Albanian. These language comparison studies are becoming increasingly appealing. The structure and norms under which words interrelate are part of the study of language as a method of communication. Scholars are faced with the requirement to perform research on challenging subjects and make global and local comparisons. Therefore, this research looks into analytical and comparative analysis with the aim of enlightening and empowering the current use of prepositions in and on and giving a clearer picture of their translations in Albanian. The research is based on the analysis of two English novels that have been translated into Albanian.

Published: May 2022

This study tries to investigate the perception of Saudi students at Jazan University about native English-speaking teachers (NEST) and non-native English-speaking teachers based on their teaching the language skills and grammar. The perception of 50 native English-speaking teachers and 50 non-native English teachers was collected from the students taught by these teachers. The findings show that native English-speaking teachers are outstanding at teaching reading, listening and speaking. In contrast, non-native English-speaking teachers are very good at teaching grammar, reading and writing skills. This study will help the Saudi government employ and hire teachers from other countries where the native language is English and countries where English is the second language. This study will also support the university authorities, educationists, and syllabus designers assigning teachers to teach different language skills based on native and non-native English-speaking teachers.
Comparing L2 Incidental Vocabulary Learning Through Viewing, Listening, and Reading
Authors: Aldukhayel Dukhayel M
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study is to determine the most effective mode of input for L2 vocabulary learning by investigating three types of input: audiovisual input, audio input, and written input. Using a pretest-posttest-delayed posttest design, this study recruited 95 university EFL students who were randomly assigned to four groups. The same TV documentary was presented to each group in four different modes: viewing the documentary, listening to the documentary, reading the printed transcript, and a control condition in which no treatment was given. Vocabulary learning, which was operationalized as the receptive knowledge of the form-meaning connection of the target words was measured by checklist and multiple-choice tests. Two variables were considered in the investigation: prior vocabulary knowledge and the word frequency of occurrence. The findings suggest that participants learned vocabulary incidentally through viewing, listening, and reading. They also successfully retained gained vocabulary through the three modes of input. The study found no significant differences in vocabulary gains between viewing and reading on the posttests suggesting that vocabulary gain and retention are similar through these types of input modes. The study found a significant impact of prior vocabulary knowledge and frequency of occurrence on vocabulary learning. As the results suggest that viewing is as effective as reading, this study provides further support for the use of television in L2 learning.

Authors: Mehmet Şükrü Bellibaş; Şerafettin Gedik
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this research is to compare public and private middle school principals’ skills in instructional leadership. The study depends on the explanatory approach of mixed method research. Starting with a quantitative inquiry, it focuses on the differences between public and private school principals’ instructional leadership, drawing upon TALIS (Teaching and Learning International Survey) data conducted by OECD in 2008, which involves 187 middle school principals. The qualitative part of the study further explains findings from quantitative section drawing on the interviews of a purposefully selected total sample of 4 principals and 8 teachers from both school types. The study found contradictions between quantitative and qualitative results in terms of differences between public and private school principals’ instructional leadership behaviors. Despite significant difference in favor of private school principals as highlighted by quantitative study, the qualitative inquiry found that private school principals were involved in in-person instructional leadership practices less often than public school principals were.

Authors: Veysel Okçu
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this research was to determine the ethical leadership behaviours of school administrators and organizational commitment of teachers. The study was a relational research model. The study was consisted of 590 branch teachers working in the secondary schools which are located in both Siirt center and its districts in 2009-2010. Ethical Leadership Scale was used to determine the principals' ethical leadership behaviours according to teachers’ point of view. In addition ‘Organizational Commitment’ scale developed by Balay (2000b) was also used to determine the organizational commitment levels of teachers. The result of the study indicated that there is negative and low relation between organizational commitment of teachers in terms of adaptation in respect to practices related to all dimensions of ethical leadership behaviours of school administrations. Also, there is a positive and medium level relation between the ethical leadership sub-dimensions such as tolerance, justice, responsibility, democracy and teachers’ identification commitment. Regression analysis indicated that the responsibility sub-dimension of ethical leadership behaviour positively predicted the identification commitment.

Published: May 2022

The psychic functions are not fully recovered in neurosurgical patients in the rehabilitation process in postoperational and posttraumatic periods. The disorders of mnestic processes are more pronounced: shortterm (affect, aural, visual) memory, memorizing volume of verbal material, psychic rate. It is shown that the Se- max medicine is able to improve the processes of teaching, aural perception, to increase the volume of verbal and affect material, the volume of long-term and some kinds of short-term memory even with short-term treatment (5 days).

“Tobacco epidemic” in the North-East of Russia
Authors: Barbaruk Yu. V.
Published: May 2022

Since 2004, the Russian Federation has been taking more and more active steps to reduce tobacco consumption, but the epidemiological situation still indicates a low effectiveness of tobacco control measures in several regions of the country. Magadan Region is one of the worst in Russia on the epidemiology of tobacco; its example can show gaps in the state’s tobacco control policy and help work out measures to improve the situation.

Aim. Analysis of the tobacco epidemiology in Magadan Region.

Methods. A wide survey of the population of the region aged over 15 was performed. A total of 341 people were involved in the survey. The collected data included general information about the respondent, information on tobacco use, tobacco cessation, secondhand smoke, the economy, the media, knowledge, attitudes and perceptions related to tobacco use. The type of the sample was quota based on gender, age and geographical distribution of the population.

Results. The study showed that 42% of the population of the region over 15 years old used tobacco regularly. About 90% of the respondents became addicted between 13 and 22 years. The modal consumption values are 10 or 20 cigarettes per day. The average spending on tobacco is about 42 thousand Rubles per year per smoker. Up to a 1/3 of smokers have tried but failed to give up their addiction over the previous year. At the same time, an extremely poor knowledge of the methods of anti-smoking therapy was observed. About 80% of the tobacco users would like to quit smoking in the future.

Conclusion. The relatively small costs of tobacco expenses in regions with a high level of income hinder the most effective method of tobacco control – raising taxes on tobacco products.

Published: May 2022

Physical intolerance is an important sign of many chronic respiratory diseases. The most useful tool for clinical evaluation of physical status is six-minute walking test (6-MWT), but sometimes its technical requirements are not feasible. By this reason, a search for alternative field tests have being going on in the last years, but the diagnostic yield of the new exercise tests for most chronic bronchopulmonary diseases is not clear.

The aim of this study was to compare results of 6-MWT and 30-seconds sit-to-stand (30-s-STS) test in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and restrictive abnormalities of lung function.

Methods. This was a cross-sectional non-randomized open comparative study. Patients with ILDs were asked to perform 6-MWT and 30-s-STS test with 30 min interval. We also analyzed medical history, lung function, and dyspnea assessed with Medical Research Council (MRC).

Results. The study included 25 ILD patients (11 males; 14 women); 75% of patients had restrictive lung function disorders. The mean distance walked in 6-MWT (6MD) was 380.4 ± 111.9 m (M ± SD), 14 (56%) patients desaturated during the test. The mean number of repetitions in 30-s-STS test was 12 (10 – 13) during 30 s; 5 (20%) patients desaturated during the test. 6MD showed moderate correlation with the number of repetitions in 30-s-STS test and to dyspnea on exertion. The number of repetitions in the 30-s-STS test was not associated with any clinical or functional parameters. To the end of exercise, the number of patients who desaturated increased, the desaturation was greater, and post-exercise SpO2 was lower in 6-MWT compared to 30-s-STS test.

Conclusion. 30-s-STS test was less informative in terms of reduced physical tolerance and desaturation on exertion compared to 6-MWT in patients with fibrosing ILDs and restrictive abnormalities of lung function.

Published: May 2022

Therapy with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure (RF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is currently of scientific interest.

 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of iNO therapy on COPD patients with hypercapnic RF and PAH during exacerbation of the disease.

Methods. A randomized, prospective, controlled trial included 30 patients with COPD (age 65 (62; 75) years) with hypercapnic RF and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treated at the State Budgetary City Teaching Hospital “City Clinical Hospital named after D.D.Pletnev of Healthcare Moscow City Department” (2021). The inclusion criteria were: PaCO2 ≥ 45 mm Hg and pulmonary artery systolic pressure PASP > 40 mm Hg as accessed by Doppler echocardiography. The patients were divided into two groups. Patients of the main group were administered iNO in the form of daily 90-minute sessons for two weeks using Tianoks device (Russian Federal Nuclear Center – All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics, State Corporation “Rosatom”, Russia). Patients of the control group received treatment that corresponded to the severity of their COPD exacerbation according to the guidelines by Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), 2020 – 2021. Hemodynamics and gas exchange, exercise tolerance, vascular stiffness, and obstructive disorders were assessed at baseline, on Days 7 and 14.

Results. The main group demonstrated a decrease in PASP (38 (32; 43) mm Hg vs 47 (44; 54) mm Hg; p = 0.001), a decrease in stiffness index (SI) (7.03 m / s (5.3; 19.2) vs 12.2 m / s (5.7; 15.1); p = 0.01), decrease the pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs / Qt) (4.33% (3.7; 6.1) vs 9.12% (7.12; 11.3); p = 0.01), an increase in arterial vascular tone measured by reflective index (RI) (62.4% (51.2; 64.3) vs 58.5% (51.7; 63.8); p = 0.01), and increased exercise tolerance measured by 6-minute walking test (6MWT) (358.1 m (320.5; 368.2) vs 321.5 m (280.4; 329.1); p = 0.001) as compared to the control group.

Conclusion. Our study indicates that iNO-therapy effectively reduces hypoxemia, endothelial dysfunction, improves hemodynamics, walking distance, and exercise tolerance during the exacerbation of COPD in patients with hypercapnic RF and PAH.
