"Conformándonos con los rituales de no cantar cosas profanas [y] sí devotas". Escenografía y música en la celebración del Entierro de Cristo en el Real Colegio-Seminario de Corpus Christi de Valencia (1692
Authors: Royo Conesa Mireya
Published: December 2020

El Real Colegio-Seminario de Corpus Christi de València fue fundado por el arzobispo Juan de Ribera (1532-1611) con su propia fortuna, aunando la búsqueda de un nuevo paradigma religioso y cultural –propia del Concilio de Trento– con el deseo de dejar establecido un colegio de clérigos. Ribera se erigió en patrón de los diferentes artistas que materializaron exquisitamente unos espacios concebidos para ejecutar ceremonias minuciosamente diseñadas; estas darían vida a las Sagradas Escrituras, según el propio Ribera entendió, proscribiendo o ignorando algunas celebraciones. Es el caso del Entierro de Cristo, que no comenzó a realizarse hasta 1692 merced al sufragio de una persona desconocida. El presente artículo ofrece los detalles de esta celebración y presenta los motetes inéditos de Máximo Ríos con textos del Evangelio según san Juan y el Libro de Isaías, elección acorde al oficio del Triduo Sacro y razonada en la documentación de la época para evitar el canto de los salmos Miserere e In exitu Israel y del himno Vexilla Regis.
Arbitrary Law Making and Unorderable Subjectivities in Legal Theoretical Approaches to Migration
Authors: Rigo Enrica
Published: December 2020

The article considers the changes that have affected European border regimes of migration control as a testcase for discussing arbitrariness. The argument highlights the limited capacity of notions of arbitrariness defined as a departure from the rule of law to capture the ongoing conflict at the borders of Europe and brings, instead,  to the foreground the ambivalent meaning of arbitrariness.

By comparing Santi Romano’s classical theory of legal pluralism with recent analyses of legal globalization processes,  arbitrariness emerges either as an authoritative attempt to impose a different order on society or as a means to contrast acts of resistance to border regimes. In both cases, arbitrariness forcefully blurs the limits between the ordered and unordered, indicating the paradoxical impossibility of excluding the law’s outside from the legal order.

On these premises, the article advocates the importance of reframing the demand for open borders as a call for freedom of those who challenge the pragmatic order of migration regimes. Indeed, arbitrariness is necessarily limited when the legal order recognizes, to an extent, the agency and the claims of subjectivities that resist the dichotomy between inclusion and exclusion.

Interrogating Boundaries against Animals and Machines: Human Speciesism in British Newspapers
Authors: Bryson Kathleen , Soligo Christophe , Sommer Volker
Published: December 2020

Humans favor and venerate their ingroups, while disregarding outgroups to the degree of dehumanizing them. We explore the social construction of such boundaries and its associated speciesism toward two nonhuman outgroups: animals and machines. For this, we analyzed UK newspaper coverages of the binaries Human–Animal and Human–Machine between 1995 and 2010. We quantified if and how tolerance toward ambiguous concepts that challenge and expand definitions of humanness (e.g., nonhuman primates, cyborgs) varied across time as well as with journalist gender, political leaning, and expertise. In this analysis, the ca. 1100 individual journalists stood as proxies for the British public and therefore as a human-ingroup subset. We found more tolerance toward intermediaries in broadsheet newspapers, females, and subject experts, as opposed to tabloids, males, and subject novices. Moreover, ambiguity tolerance hit a low during the year 2000, likely due to Western sociopolitical turbulence—potentially including wider societal stress over the landmark millennium year itself—attesting that ingroups become more closed during stressful times. Compared with the plasticity of the Human–Animal dichotomy, the Human–Machine binary was more rigid, indicating that the relative novelty of IT developments triggers increased caution and anxiety. Our research suggests that cognitive mechanisms facilitating human-ingroup protection are deep-rooted, albeit malleable according to changing socioeconomic conditions.
“What Is Written? How Do You Read It?” Tracking P and J in Genesis the Gospels
Authors: Savoie John
Published: December 2020

Genesis opens with a provocation as it juxtaposes creation stories fitted neatly, though distinctly, as two blocks of ashlar. The difficulty of the Documentary Hypothesis comes later and lies in the details of tracking the voices of P and J and their cousins through the rest of the Pentateuch. To refresh this fascinating, frustrating, well-worn exercise, I propose something that seems at first counterintuitive: tracking P and J not from Genesis into Exodus but, skipping down the generations, through their intertextual presence in the Gospels with emphasis on Jesus’s healings, which function as patches on creation. Some predictable relationships emerge: the Gospel of John privileges the potent spoken word much as does the P-text of Gen 1; the earthier Synoptics, Mark earthiest of all, follow the creation story of Gen 2 as Jesus heals by touch and spit. How neatly the strands seem to align: P is to J as John is to the Synoptics. But there comes a twist. The Gospel of Mark also recounts healings as logos-centric as any verse in John or Gen 1, while the living Word of John is as skilled in healing by mud as Yahweh is in molding Adam from clay. The distinctive vitalities of P and J can be traced easily enough, but their courses twist and turn as they run into a mysterious whole as simple yet perplexing as a Möbius strip. Attention to these intertextualities freshly illuminates the dynamic of difference and unity in both Genesis and the Gospels.

Authors: Ortiz Guadamuz Scarlet Lizette
Published: December 2020

El artículo, parte de la tesis doctoral de la autora, analiza la percepción de embarazadas y puérperas en Alto Wangky sobre la participación de su familia, personal de salud y parteras para acceder a servicios de salud durante el embarazo, parto y puerperio, ampliando el mapa de facilitadores u obstaculizadores e integrando la organización y participación comunitaria al modelo de gestión local de la salud materna. El enfoque de género profundiza en dimensiones no analizadas en investigaciones clásicas positivistas, generando propuestas de acción y medidas para incidir en políticas alrededor del tema. Tipo de investigación cualitativa. Se realizó un estudio de caso, con muestra intencionada, flexible y por conveniencia. Los principales resultados muestran que la mayoría son mujeres entre 20 y 35 años, alfabetas, sin empleo o trabajan con inseguridad laboral, disponen de servicios reproductivos, pero, su acceso se dificulta por las condiciones geográficas, o sus cónyuges no les permiten usarlos. Tienen servicios prenatales y los usan, el parto es atendido a más de 1 día de viaje por río. Se concluye que las embarazadas y puérperas, con apoyo del esposo, familia y parteras acceden a servicios de salud materna disponibles pese a las dificultades socioeconómicas y de acceso en las que viven.
Importância dos programas voltados aos agricultores familiares nos períodos de seca e frente à necessidade de adaptação às mudanças climáticas no Semiárido brasileiro
Authors: Mesquita Patricia Dos Santos , Cavalcante Louise , Milhorance Carolina , Nogueira Daniela , Andrieu Nadine
Published: December 2020

A região do Semiárido, ao longo dos anos, foi alvo de uma transição de políticas públicas voltadas ao combate à seca para as políticas com base na Convivência com o Semiárido. Com base nesse paradigma, foram desenvolvidas políticas em vários âmbitos de modo a apoiar os agricultores familiares mais vulneráveis. Entretanto, diante das mudanças climáticas previstas para a região, preconiza-se a necessidade de um melhor entendimento das percepções sobre o clima, seu impacto nos processos produtivos e os ajustes realizados, de modo que possam ser identificadas as principais vulnerabilidades e os processos de adaptação que podem ser fomentados pelas políticas. Com base nisso, por meio de entrevistas qualitativas, buscou-se entender a percepção sobre esses tópicos por parte de 54 agricultores familiares de sequeiro na região do Submédio São Francisco. De modo geral, a maioria dos entrevistados relatou a percepção de mudanças no clima nos últimos 15-20 anos, assim como preocupação sobre o clima futuro. A última seca (2011-2018) causou perdas produtivas que, em sua maioria, levaram a ajustes reativos aos acontecimentos. Diante das declarações, foi observado que existe uma percepção sobre a necessidade de planejamento, de modo que alternativas de adaptação anteriores aos impactos possam ser realizadas. Entretanto, vários desafios limitam o desenvolvimento de uma cultura de adaptação, dentre eles os relativos à utilização e às limitações das políticas públicas. Por fim, discute-se a necessidade de se atualizar algumas estratégias promovidas pelo paradigma de Convivência com o Semiárido, de modo a incorporar a perspectiva das mudanças climáticas e possibilitar o aumento das capacidades adaptativas dos agricultores familiares para que esses possam antever os eventos (adaptação ex-ante) e não apenas responder aos seus impactos (adaptação ex-post).
Representações dos retirantes das secas do Semiárido nordestino
Authors: Ferreira José Gomes , Paiva Anna Lidiane Oliveira , De Mélo Anastácia Brandão
Published: December 2020

As mudanças climáticas e as projeções no sentido do seu agravamento no Nordeste aumentam as preocupações quanto às repercussões no meio ambiente, na economia e na vida das comunidades. Entre os impactos sociais mais estudados destacam-se as migrações, temporárias ou permanentes, que integram os chamados refugiados climáticos. O semiárido nordestino é uma vasta região do território brasileiro historicamente exposta às condições severas do clima seco, em que longos períodos de estiagem obrigavam o sertanejo a refugiar-se em grandes cidades do litoral em busca de sobrevivência. O chamado de retirante, ou flagelado da seca, é o elemento mais fragilizado na hierarquia social e aquele que mais depressa é afetado pela ausência prolongada de chuvas na região. O artigo analisa as representações sociais dos emigrantes sertanejos por meio de bibliografia científica, mídia e literatura, buscando melhor conhecer esse fenômeno e contribuir para a resiliência das comunidades em um contexto de agravamento dos fenômenos climáticos extremos. Os resultados encontrados foram as diversas representações dos emigrantes nordestinos, o preconceito, os impactos das secas, o drama social e político, as relações de dominação, a memória de um povo e a necessidade de políticas públicas estruturantes.
Geopoética do Semiárido brasileiro: a Estação Ecológica do Raso da Catarina em Arquitetura & Canção
Authors: Carvalho Francisco Fernando Livino de , Ponciano Luiza Corral Martins de Oliveira
Published: December 2020

A Geopoética oferece uma abordagem de construção do conhecimento que é ao mesmo tempo científica, filosófica e poética, sendo um campo pertinente para alicerçar novos produtos interpretativos para as unidades de conservação (UC) federais. O estudo preliminar para uma base de apoio à pesquisa na Estação Ecológica do Raso da Catarina (região de Paulo Afonso-BA) ilustra uma postura projetual que se contrapõe à corriqueira tendência arquitetônica de implantação de edificações, que buscam se configurar como uma “marca” na paisagem. Ao contrário, agindo geopoeticamente, desejamos que a edificação venha a se materializar como uma “eclosão” das forças expressivas da Natureza daquele lugar, da paisagem que a receberá, concebendo uma edificação o mais possível integrada ao local. Tal eclosão Geopoética vai além e entrelaça a Arquitetura com poemas e canções, por serem linguagens que se complementam e se retroalimentam na tradução das paisagens do semiárido brasileiro, com o intuito de promover um encantamento social pelas nossas áreas protegidas. Fazer da Arte uma ferramenta de gestão ambiental e estruturar a promoção do encantamento como uma política pública são os caminhos sugeridos aqui para se reconciliar a sociedade contemporânea com os ambientes naturais.
Redes sociais na gestão dos recursos hídricos do semiárido: o caso do Projeto de Integração do Rio São Francisco no Estado do Ceará
Authors: Silva Everton Nogueira , Lima Patrícia Verônica Pinheiro Sales , Rodrigues Maria Ivoneide Vital , Khan Ahmad Saeed , Filho Francisco Casimiro
Published: December 2020

O objetivo central do estudo é descrever a rede das principais entidades envolvidas nas decisões tomadas no âmbito da gestão e implementação do Projeto de Integração do Rio São Francisco (PISF). Para tanto, foi adotado um recorte que abrangeu a porção do projeto inserida no Estado do Ceará. Os dados analisados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas. O método utilizado foi a Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS). Os principais resultados mostraram que são poucas as entidades interagindo no PISF no Estado do Ceará e estas apresentam baixa conexão. Além disso, observou-se que a gestão do projeto se dá sob baixos níveis de implementação dos princípios de boa governança. A conjuntura observada é problemática, pois implica espaço reduzido para a discussão de prioridades e competências e, portanto, uma menor probabilidade de resolução de conflitos e definição de medidas mais gerais de convivência com o semiárido.

Dual Boundaries: The Mechanism of Boundary Construction Operating in Interethnic Settings in Georgia
Authors: Kirvalidze Ana
Published: December 2020

This paper addresses the question of the boundary construction mechanism between different ethnic groups in Georgia. It demonstrates the duality of boundary construction strategies that operate distinctively in the public and private domains of life. By exploring this substantive issue, I utilize relatively new theoretical perspectives in the study of interethnic boundary construction by concentrating on its multilevel operational character. Drawing on rich data sources within a mixed method approach, I provide empirical evidence concerning how ethnic and national codes of identity are negotiated and combined in everyday interethnic settings. The analyses focus on three ethnic groups residing in the Republic of Georgia – Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis.
Mongolia and Сanada relationship :
Authors: Denzenlkham Ulambayar
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the relationship between Mongolia and Canada Mongolia’s “third neighbor”, key partner, and member of G7, G20, NATO, APEC. Canada recognized Mongolia in 1964 de facto and two parties established diplomatic relations on November 30, 1973 de jure. Canada has been one of the strong supporters of the democratic processes and market economic changes that began in Mongolia in the early 1990’s. Mongolia opened its Embassy to Canada in Ottawa in December 2001, and the Embassy of Canada to Mongolia was opened in Ulaanbaatar in September 2008. The two countries are in close cooperation in political, trade and economic, developmental, education and defense spheres and particularly in mining sector. Legal framework of Mongolia and Canada Expanded Partnership was established in October 2004. Right Honorable Mr. David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, paid a state visit to Mongolia on October 2013, which was of a significant importance. During the visit of Geoff Regan, Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada in September 2016 in Mongolia it was agreed to step up level of bilateral relations into extended partnership towards comprehensive partnership.

Stereology with cylinder probes
Authors: Cruz-Orive Luis Manuel , Gual-Arnau Ximo
Published: December 2020

Intersection formulae of Croton type for general geometric probes are well known in integral geometry.  For the special case of  cylinders with non necessarily convex direktrix, however, no equivalent formula seems to exist in the literature. We derive such formula resorting to motion invariant probability elements associated with test systems, instead of using a traditional approach. Because cylinders are seldom used as probes in stereological practice, however, this note is mainly of a theoretical nature.
Assessing the level of well-being in individuals practicing sport
Authors: Pieniążek Magdalena , Mańko Grzegorz , Sosulska Angelika , Jaszczur-Nowicki Jarosław , Lozinska Irina , Jarząbek Beata
Published: December 2020

Background and aim: There is an increasing body of evidence that physical exercise may have a positive effect on people’s mental condition and well-being. Numerous study results indicate that physical activity helps in the treatment of depression and anxiety. This allows for a conclusion that sport – to a great extent – influences not only people’s physical aspects, but also their psyche. Sedentary lifestyle, time pressure and stress that accompanies people at an increasingly younger age contribute both to higher incidence of numerous civilisation diseases and to problems with mental health. The purpose of the study was to verify whether individuals practicing sports manifest better well-being than non-training individuals. Methods: A general interview was conducted with 80 students (40 individuals practicing sports and 40 individuals not practicing sports at all), whereupon they were requested to complete the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale questionnaire. Results: The individuals practicing sport exhibit greater well-being than the subjects from the control group. It was also demonstrated that the males in the study group exhibit greater wellbeing than the females from the same group However, no findings were made that longer duration of a single training session, its frequency or the time when a given person started practicing sport had any influence on his/her well-being. Conclusions: Practicing sports has a positive influence on people’s well-being. Physical activity should be promoted from as early an age as possible to minimise the risk of numerous diseases in the future, including those affecting mental health.
The influence of Kinesio Taping of the ankle joint on stabilometric parameters in women aged 18-25 years
Authors: Lenart Michał , Gielas-Relidzyńska Marta , Szczygieł Andrzej , Mętel Sylwia
Published: December 2020

Introduction: The upright posture uniquely characteristic of humans is dependent upon many factors. Kinesio Taping is used to enhance ankle joint stability, but its effectiveness in relation to body stability in a standing position has not yet been verified in scientific research.

Objectives: Assessment of the effect of ankle Kinesio Taping on stabilometric parameters in young, healthy women.

Material and Methods: The study included 50 healthy women (mean age 21.12 ±1.83 years) who were randomly assigned to two groups: the taping group (group T) and control group (group C). In the taping group Kinesio Taping was applied according to the method used in ankle sprains (both inversion and eversion). The women performed the Romberg test four times with each trial lasting two minutes on an Alfa AC International East stabilometric platform: two tests without Kinesio taping intervention and two further tests with (group T) or without taping (group C).

Results: Significant differences between the groups were observed in the following parameters: mean speed in the sagittal plane with eyes open; 0.06 cm/s (p=0.0002), mean speed in the frontal plane with eyes open; 0.07 cm/s (p=0.0001), total path length with eyes open; 5.78 cm (p=0.0001) and sway area with eyes open; 0.58 cm2 (p=0.0002) and in parameters: mean velocity in the sagittal plane with eyes closed; 0.10 cm/s (p=0.0004), mean velocity in the frontal plane with eyes closed; 0.11 cm/s (p=0.0004) and in total path length with eyes closed; 0.43 cm (p=0.0004).

Conclusions: In young, healthy women who received Kinesio Taping, favourable changes in stabilometric parameters were found indicating better ankle stability than in the group without taping.

Approach to Choose of Optimal Number of Turns in Planar Spiral Coils for Systems of Wireless Power Transmission
Authors: Krestovnikov Konstantin , Cherskikh Ekaterina , Bykov Аleksandr
Published: December 2020

Correct choice of coil parameters for resonant circuits in inductive power transmission systems is a relevant problem, as it significantly influences the efficiency and transmitted power in the systems and provides for optimization of these parameters. This paper presents a methodology of calculation of geometrical and electrical parameters and approach to choose the optimal number of turns in planar coils used in the wireless power transmission (WPT) system with parallel resonant circuit. Formulas are derived for calculation of active resistance and inductance of the coil, normalized to the specified design parameters of the coil. Connection is made between the design and electrical parameters of the coil, which allows choosing the optimal number of turns according to different criteria and guard conditions. The examples of practical use of the chosen approach with transmitting and receiving coils of WPT system are presented. The obtained results show that efficiency and transmitted power in the system are higher when using the coils with the calculated number of turns. The proposed approach may be used in selection of optimal design of loop coils in systems with fixed frequency, and in systems, whose operational frequency depends on the parameters of the resonant circuit.
Der eigentumsrechtliche Wertschutz von Anteilsrechten

Property protection is provided by national law as well as international law. The study seeks for an explanation regarding the divergent approaches to the protection of shareholders in cases of reflective loss provided for in German constitutional law and various fields of public international law. This is done by way of a comparison of the German approach with those found in the law of aliens, in the European Convention on Human Rights and under international investment law. This results in the finding that approaches of international law partly fail to establish the necessary bonds to recognized concepts of national law.
Die Strafbarkeit der Verlinkung von Inhalten nach dem Kern- sowie nach dem Urheberstrafrecht

The development of the World Wide Web is a success story, perhaps as significant as the invention of letterpress printing. The breakthrough of this technology can be attributed to a simple, but powerful digital tool: the hyperlink. The linkage of data from two different sources, however, also enables the spread of unlawful, unethical or racistic content. In jurisprudential literature this issue was either examined from a perspective exclusively stemming from copyright law or from core criminal law. The author has taken on the responsibility to highlight parellels between those areas of law and to examine, whether conclusions can be drawn from the current rulings of the ECJ as regards core criminal law.

Comparison of predictive value of risk scores regarding the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Authors: Đurošev Ivana , Kadrić Esma , Stanković Goran
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) presents standard treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In order to predict the prognosis of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), several risk scores have been developed. Aim: Comparison of the predictive value of three validated risk scores, regarding intrahospital, short-term (30-days) and long-term (1-year) mortality among patients with a diagnosis of STEMI treated with pPCI in the Catheterization lab, Clinical Center of Serbia. Material and methods: The retrospective study included 311 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of STEMI treated with pPCI in 2017. Patients with cardiogenic shock at admission were excluded. Data were analyzed from the electronic database. For every patient the value of CADILLAC, ZWOLLE and TIMI score was calculated. The predictive ability of the risk scores was compared by area under (AUC) the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves. The short-term and long-term outcome of the patient was assessed by telephone and clinical contact. Results: The study population was 311 patients, with an average age of 61±10 years, of which 237 (76.2%) were male. Rates of intrahospital, mortality at 30 days and at one year after pPCI were 1.9%, 3.2%, 6.1%. All three test scores showed very good predictive value in short-term mortality, both intrahospital (0.962; 0.986; 0.964, p=ns within scores) and after 30 days (0.920; 0.956; 0.861, p=ns within scores), while after 1 year accuracy of CADILLAC and ZWOLLE was better than TIMI score (0.921; 0.905; 0.786, p vs. TIMI 0,0087 and 0,0567). The age, three-vessel coronary disease and lower admission hemoglobin were identified as independent predictors for one-year mortality by logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Both CADILLAC and ZWOLLE showed a very good predictive ability for intrahospital, short and long-term mortality, while for TIMI score, comparable accuracy was observed only for a period of up to 30 days following pPCI.

Authors: Marković Marijana , Petrović Jana , Đogo-Mračević Svetlana , Lolić Aleksandar , Krstić Marko
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Caffeine is a natural alkaloid, isolated from more than 60 plant species. Over 80% of the world's population consumes caffeine on daily basis through the consumption of coffee, tea, chocolates and, more recently, energy drinks. As a pharmacologically potent substance caffeine is an ingredient of many medicaments available on the pharmaceutical market of Republic of Serbia without a doctor's prescription. Besides that, caffeine acts as a psychoactive stimulant, mild diuretic, and displays an interaction with some medicaments due to the induction of CYP1 and CYP2 isoenzymes. Keeping in mind all of the above, it is necessary to take into account the daily caffeine intake, as well as to control its content in energy drinks. Aim: The aim of this study was spectrophotometric determination of caffeine content in energy drinks and tea, available in markets of the Republic of Serbia. Material and Methods: Caffeine was determinated by UV/VIS spectrophotometry in nine types of energy drinks and eight samples of black and green tea. Results: The results showed that caffeine content in energy drink samples ranged from 26.81 to 35.44 mg/100mL and corresponds to declaration. The caffeine content in tea samples varies with the species (11.27-22.61 mg/100mL for green and 13.85-22.73 mg/100mL for black tea), but also with origin, growth conditions and tea processing. Conclusion: The obtained data suggest that UV/VIS spectrophotometry can be used for routine determination and control of caffeine content in energy drinks and tea. It is important to note that caffeine intake through the usual daily consumption of tea and energy drinks should not have a negative impact on human health, but this alkaloid could be additionally consumed through other sources, which is especially important for certain groups of patients.
Radionuclide imaging of neuroendocrine tumors

Published: December 2020

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are relatively rare and heterogeneous with a variaty of clinical expression. They derive from the sensory and secretory neuroendocrine cells mainly within the pulmonary and gastrointestinal tract. They comprise less than 2% of all malignancies. On the basis of clinical behavior, histology, and proliferation rate, they are devided into well differentiated (low grade to intermediate grade) and poorly differentiated (high grade) neuroendocrine carcinoma. Tumor stage and grade have the impact on treatment and prognosis. The treatment of choice is surgery. More than 50% of the patients present metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, thus the systemic treatment should be considered including somatostatin analogs, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). For the diagnosis and follow-up of these tumors, various radiological methods are used (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound) as well as endoscopy. Nuclear medicine methods are used in order to exploit their unique properties mainly amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation system characteristics, as well as the expression of somatostatin receptors. These methods enable whole body examination, staging, selection of patient for PRRT and treatment monitoring as well. Imaging can be performed with gamma camera (SPECT, SPECT/CT) or positron emission tomography (PET/ CT). Radiopharmaceuticals used for imaging with gamma camera are usually 99mTc-(V)-DMSA, 99mTc-MIBI, 99mTc-HYNIC TOC, 111In-pentetreotide and 131I-MIBG/123I-MIBG. Positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals has superior spatial resolution and faster imaging, such as 68Ga-DOTA-somatostatin analogues, 18F-FDG (particularly for high-grade tumors), 18F-L-DOPA/11C-L-DOPA and 11C-5-hydroxytryptophan that have demonstrated excellent imaging results. The new targeted agents present a challenge in the evaluation procedure of treatment and, therefore, new imaging techniques and an improvement of currently available techniques are mandatory. In this mini-review, the most frequent methods and radiopharmaceuticals are presented, as well as potential development.
Human experimental pain models

Published: December 2020

Pain is an unpleasant sensory experience, associated with existing or potential tissue damage. It has also strong cognitive and emotional components. Stimuli that causes pain goes through process of nociception, which includes transduction, transmission, modulation and perception of said stimuli. Depending on the type of stimuli, we can classify human experimental pain models into mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical. Information about pain mechanisms can be obtained from the following: 1) in vitro studies, 2) animal experiments, 3) human experimental pain studies and 4) clinical studies. Chosing the appropriate method for pain evaluation is a key step in the design of pain studies. Combining it with different electro-physiological and imaging methods, it can provide better objectivity and quantification of pain mechanisms. Focus in experimental pain studies is slowly shifting from static parameters of pain, such as pain threshold and maximum tolerance, to dynamic parameters, which can give us valuable insight in function of endogenous analgesic systems. This can be done using conditioned pain modulation. Using experimental pain on healthy voulenteers is key step in switching from animal models to clinical studies, foremost for validization of data from animals, making them important in translational research. Results from experimental pain studies can help us in understanding nociceptive mechanisms of acute and chronic pain, alongside development of new therapeutic modalities.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” In my college methods course on teaching and learning mathematics, my goal is to prepare prospective elementary teachers to meet the challenge of implementing the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989). My colleagues agree that it is important for our students majoring in education to develop understanding by “doing,” so our students are given the opportunity to plan and teach lessons in a clinical classroom during live semester in which they take their methods courses.

Links to Literature: A Different Angle for Integrating Mathematics
Authors: Smith Jocquelin
Published: December 2020

Quality children's literature has become an important vehicle for integrating learning experiences in the primary grades. This development has been especially true for the language arts, where integrated instruction within and between the separate disciplines has been more widely practiced. Although the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989) addresses this issue in Standard 2: Mathematics as Communication for grades K-4, the art of integration has often eluded mathematics instruction.
Implementing the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics: Who's Behind the fence? Creating a Rich learning Environment with a Nontraditional Problem
Authors: Folkson Susan
Published: December 2020

When a teacher encourages a classroom environment in which students share various solution strategies with each other in written, oral, and visual forms, excellent opportunities arise for students to learn front their peers. Equally important, the teacher is able to develop an understanding of the students’ thinking and to use that knowledge to drive the curriculum.
Project Party
Authors: Cutrone Lori J.
Published: December 2020

Assessing a student's ability to use mathematics in solving problems should render information on the student's use of strategies for problem solving, as recommended by the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989). Traditional assessment tools do not give students the opportunity to display and communicate their strategies for solving a problem but, instead, focus on attaining a single answer to the problem. Opportunities for discussion and analysis are frequently lost when trying to form the basis for clear mathematical thinking and communication. To assess the problem-solving strategies of a group of ten fourth-grade students, a four-day activity titled “Project Party” was developed. This activity is a series of performance tasks based on the ideas from the Maryland School Performance Assessment Program (1990).

Making Sense out of Cents
Authors: Wiener Claire , Smith Carolyn
Published: December 2020

Literature is a great vehicle to teach mathematical concepts to the elementary student. Through literature, children can demonstrate their mathematical knowledge by using these concepts in context (Anderson and Anderson 1995). Recognizing the relevance of mathematics in their daily lives is essential for students. As Leitze (1997) explains, “This mathematicsliterature connection is a natural way for teachers to allow students to see mathematics in everyday society, to give meaning to mathematics, and to make it come alive” (p. 398).
