EL GRUPO DE WHATSAPP DE PADRES, ¿FACILITA O DIFICULTA LA EDUCACIÓN DE LOS HIJOS?
Authors: Chiquillo Enguix Marta , Llopis Bueno María José
Published: June 2020

La modernidad fluida, tal como denomina Bauman al periodo en el que nos encontramos, se caracteriza principalmente por trascender los límites establecidos entre el espacio y el tiempo. El desarrollo vertiginoso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación1 y su uso generalizado ha afectado a todos los ámbitos de la sociedad. Entre ellos, destaca la revolución que ha provocado en las escuelas del siglo xxi, cuya dimensión social no puede entenderse sin las TIC; es decir, ha facilitado la comunicación de las familias con las escuelas, aumentando su participación debido a la facilidad que concede su uso a la generación millenials. Pero ¿todas las tecnologías han tenido efectos positivos? Algunas de ellas, como el uso del WhatsApp, han provocado posibles brechas en la relación familia-escuela, por lo que se propone una guía que ayude a las familias a hacer un uso correcto de esta aplicación que tantas posibilidades ofrece, con la finalidad de intentar levantar la barrera que esta aplicación ha provocado en la relación familia-escuela.
RECURSOS DIGITALES EN UNA HABITACIÓN DE ESCAPE EDUCATIVA
Authors: García-Tudela Pedro Antonio
Published: June 2020

La sociedad digital actual plantea una serie de desafíos para cualquier contexto educativo. Por ello, en este trabajo se presenta una propuesta implementada en cuatro grupos de los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria de la Universidad de Murcia para revisar  contenidos relacionados con asignaturas de Tecnología Educativa antes de la prueba evaluativa final.

La estrategia metodológica utilizada fue una habitación de escape educativa (“JUMANTIC”),  la cual se basó tanto en recursos analógicos, como digitales, ya que estos últimos son los menos utilizados en propuestas similares a la expuesta.

La propuesta de innovación está basada en la película Jumanji¸ y a través de 9 puestos enigmáticos, los estudiantes tenían que conseguir la llave para escapar del templo en el que se encontraban. Para resolver algunos de los enigmas tuvieron que utilizar robótica educativa a través de bee-bot, candados digitales, Kahoot, etc.

Además, también se desarrolló la práctica BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)¸ para de esta forma escanear los diferentes códigos QR que se encontraban en el tablero de juego y marcar los diferentes itinerarios de los equipos. Igualmente, podían utilizarlos para consultar apuntes u otra información que considerasen de interés para resolver las diferentes preguntas relacionadas con el modelo TPACK, integración curricular de los medios, etc.

A pesar de la negativa de ciertas propuestas a utilizar recursos digitales en las educational escape rooms. En este caso, los beneficios propios de la presente estrategia metodológica, se han visto complementados al incluir dicha visión digital. Por lo tanto, se considera de interés el hecho de diseñar, implementar e investigar propuestas similares como la descrita.
GAMIFICACIÓN EN EL AULA DE EDUCACIÓN INFANTIL: UN PROYECTO PARA AUMENTAR LA SEGURIDAD EN EL ALUMNADO A TRAVÉS DE LA SUPERACIÓN DE RETOS
Authors: Romero Rodríguez Andrea , Espinosa Gallardo Javier
Published: June 2020

Es en la etapa de Educación Infantil cuando se produce una introducción al proceso de lectoescritura; de este modo, es cuando pueden observarse las mayores diferencias en el ritmo de aprendizaje entre unos y otros, lo que puede provocar una falta de confianza a la hora de desempeñar sus actividades. Por ello se ha pensado en una forma atractiva que estuviera basada en la superación de retos y que a su vez permitiera fomentar la motivación de nuestro alumnado durante todo el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. De esta forma, se ha realizado una investigación bibliográfica sobre la gamificación como herramienta didáctica para desarrollar una mentalidad de crecimiento en el alumnado a través de un aprendizaje basado en retos (challenge-based learning), en un entorno en el que el juego es el protagonista. Este proyecto pretende unificar la seguridad en el alumnado y la gamificación, considerando que la oportuna conexión que existe entre ambas puede mejorar la necesidad de la que surge la creación de este proyecto.
LA EFICACIA DE LA ESCAPE ROOM COMO ESTRATEGIA DE MOTIVACIÓN, COHESIÓN Y APRENDIZAJE DE MATEMÁTICAS EN SEXTO DE EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA
Authors: Zarco Claudio Nuria , Machancoses Mónica , Fernández Piqueras Rocío
Published: June 2020

El presente trabajo de investigación es un caso práctico, analizado desde la realización de una experiencia innovadora en el aula utilizando recursos TIC y metodologías activas de aprendizaje. Concretamente se trata de analizar los múltiples beneficios que la nueva tendencia de los Escape Room brinda al mundo de la educación. En esta línea, observaremos las aportaciones de diferentes autores y autoras que defienden la inclusión de metodologías innovadoras en el aula con el fin de vincular el aprendizaje con la motivación y diversión. Para lograrlo, procederemos al diseño de una experiencia didáctica de escape room titulada “la extraña desaparición de Don José”. Ésta se enmarca en un contexto educativo concreto y se camufla bajo la pretensión de repasar contenidos matemáticos en sexto curso de Educación Primaria. Además, se analizarán a través de la experiencia las habilidades sociales y emocionales de los estudiantes, así como el desarrollo de su competencia digital y grado de cohesión grupal.
Actualidad de Federico Engels: los orígenes de la familia, la propiedad privada y el estado
Authors: Santos del Prado González Gabriel
Published: June 2020

Este artículo expone la actualidad y validez de los aspectos fundamentales del pensamiento de F. Engels con respecto de las instituciones cuyo origen analiza a partir de las investigaciones antropológicas y de la prehistoria, realizadas por Bachofen y Morgan principalmente. Aunque la ciencia antropológica se encontraba en sus inicios, la información disponible le permitió a nuestro autor elaborar una teoría coherente y que, en sus líneas generales, ha sido confirmada por investigaciones arqueológicas, antropológicas de mitología comparada, e históricas. Por supuesto, que los avances de la antropología social y los estudios prehistóricos desde hace siglo y medio afinan, y en ocasiones corrigen, algunas afirmaciones de Engels; sin embargo, ello no obsta para que se mantenga en pie la tesis principal y más general de nuestro autor: el carácter histórico e interactivo de la propiedad privada de los medios de producción colectiva, el poder social alienado por una minoría bajo la forma del Estado y la familia patriarcal, que determinó la opresión estructural y cultural de los hombres sobre las mujeres.

Brittle stars from the Lower Cretaceous of Patagonia: first ophiuroid articulated remains for the Mesozoic of South America
Authors: Fernández Diana , Giachetti Luciana , Stöhr Sabine , Thuy Ben , Pérez Damián , Comerio Marcos , Pazos Pablo
Published: June 2020

The first articulated remains of ophiuroids for the Mesozoic of South America are described from the Lower Cretaceous of Neuquén Basin, Argentina. The taxonomic analysis allows the assignment of the material described herein to the extinct genus Ophiopetra. The specimens belong to a new species, but considering the poor preservation, a new name is not introduced, as it would be based on an incomplete diagnosis. Certain characteristics (e.g., the diameter of the disc, the width/height ratio of the vertebrae) suggest that these ophiuroids are paedomorphic specimens. In light of the latest classification of the Ophiuroidea, and new insights on the spine articulation microstructure of Ophiopetra lithographica presented herein, a transfer of Ophiopetra to the family Ophionereididae within the order Amphilepidida is proposed. This material expands the palaeogeographic record of this genus, since it represents the first remains of Ophiopetra described in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also the first Cretaceous record of the genus worldwide.
The Situation Room icon and its Internet memes: Subversion of the Osama bin Laden raid and fragmentation of iconicity in remix culture.
Authors: Mielczarek Natalia
Published: June 2020

The Situation Room photograph, which shows President Barack Obama and cabinet members watching the Osama bin Laden raid in 2011, remains the dominant official image of the event. Within hours of its public release, scores of Internet memes of the famous picture offered alternative interpretations of what had taken place in Pakistan during the military mission, often contradicting the president’s positive description of the operation. This qualitative interpretative study argues that many of the memes that proliferated through cyberspace symbolically subverted the bin Laden raid, disrupting and challenging its celebratory framing by the administration. The study highlights potential competition that Internet memes might pose to institutional accounts of the past and to icons themselves, suggesting possible fracturing of iconicity in remix culture.
An assessment of dietary intake, food avoidance and food beliefs in patients with ulcerative colitis of different disease status
Authors: Shafiee Nor Hamizah , Manaf Zahara Abdul , Mokhtar Norfilza M. , Raja Ali Raja Affendi
Published: June 2020

Background/Aims: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing and remitting inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Little is known about the link between dietary intake, food avoidance, and beliefs among UC patients of different disease severity. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the dietary intake, food avoidance, and beliefs among active and inactive UC patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among UC patients from a tertiary medical center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Demographic, anthropometric, dietary intake, food avoidance and beliefs were assessed. Disease activity of UC patients was evaluated using the Powell Tuck Index. Results: UC patients were recruited (64.1% inactive UC and 35.9% active UC). As compared to inactive UC patients, active UC patients were likely to lose weight (75.0% vs. 0%), possess certain food beliefs (95.7% vs. 39.0%), and frequently practiced dietary avoidance (95.7% vs. 43.9%). The dietary intake among inactive UC patients was higher than active UC patients. However, neither of them met the standard nutrients recommendation for protein, calcium, iron, folate, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and vitamin E. Conclusions: Active UC patients had poorer dietary intake, were more prone to practicing food avoidance and exhibited certain food beliefs as compared to inactive UC patients. Both macro- and micronutrients intakes were inadequate regardless of patient’s disease status. These findings emphasized the importance for patients to be provided with the nutrition-related knowledge as part of strategies to avoid nutritional inadequacies.
Common Senselessness about the War: On Shaw's Media Delirium
Authors: Reeves Joshua
Published: June 2020

This article analyzes how biases in Shaw's media environment are reflected in his experiences and representations of the First World War. After turning to contemporary media theory to assess the ways in which war mediates the legibility of one's surroundings, this article discusses Shaw's critique of war delirium in “Common Sense about the War.” After examining excerpts from “Joy Riding at the Front” and the preface of Heartbreak House—which diverge in interesting ways from “Common Sense”—this article concludes by offering some speculative insights into what Shaw's war ambivalence contributes to new media theory.
A Tale of Two Sermons: The Quest for Theological Coherence in Early Nineteenth-Century English Methodism
Authors: Rodes Stanley J.
Published: June 2020

During the opening decade of the nineteenth century, Joseph Cooke preached and published two sermons contesting the prevailing Methodist articulation of justification by faith and the witness of the Spirit. Following his expulsion by the Conference, Cooke and his followers formed what came to be identified as the Methodist Unitarian Movement. In a published exchange with Edward Hare, later described as one of Methodism's most capable apologists, Cooke mounted a referendum on the authority and theological judgement of John Wesley. This article explores Cooke's challenge, its surrounding developments, and efforts of Conference to secure the theological coherence of Methodism's preachers and people.
Disabling Hope: Healing Imagery in the Wesleyan Hymn Tradition
Authors: Sours Sarah Conrad
Published: June 2020

Disability theory challenges a number of practices, emphases, and doctrines in Wesleyan theology. This article uses two key insights in recent disability theory to analyse Charles Wesley's use of healing and disability imagery in his hymns. Legitimate criticisms of the Methodist Church's flippancy in using such imagery notwithstanding, Wesley's hymns could offer a vital resource for reconsidering contemporary Methodists' assumptions about health and well-being.

Published: June 2020

Aim of study: To evaluate artificial neural networks (ANN), and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) to support vector regression (SVR) models for estimation of available soil nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and available potassium (K).Area of study: Two separate agricultural sites in Semnan and Gorgan, in Semnan and Golestan provinces of Iran, respectively.Material and methods: Complete data set of soil properties was used to evaluate the models’ performance using a k-fold test data set scanning procedures. Soil property measures including clay, sand and silt content, soil organic carbon (SOC), electrical conductivity (EC), lime content as well as fractal dimension (D) were used for the prediction of soil macronutrients. A Gamma test was utilized for defining the optimum combination of the input variables.Main results: The sensitivity analysis showed that OC, EC, and clay were the most significant variables in the prediction of soil macronutrients. The SVR model was more accurate compared to the ANN and k-NN models. N values were estimated more accurately than K and P nutrients, in all the applied models.Research highlights: The accuracy of models among the test stages illustrated that using a single data set for investigation of model performance could be misleading. Therefore, the complete data set would be necessary for suitable evaluation of the model.

Published: June 2020

Objective To explore if the modified cervical and shoulder retraction exercise program restores cervical lordosis and reduces neck pain in patients with loss of cervical lordosis.Methods This study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Eighty-three patients with loss of cervical lordosis were eligible. The eligible patients were trained to perform the modified cervical and shoulder retraction exercise program by a physiatrist, and were scheduled for a follow-up 6 to 8 weeks later to check the post-exercise pain intensity and lateral radiograph of the cervical spine in a comfortable position. The parameters of cervical alignment (4-line Cobb’s angle, posterior tangent method, and sagittal vertical axis) were measured from the lateral radiograph.Results Forty-seven patients were included. The mean age was 48.29±14.47 years. Cervical alignment and neck pain significantly improved after undergoing the modified cervical and shoulder retraction exercise program (p≤0.001). The upper cervical lordotic angle also significantly improved (p=0.001). In a subgroup analysis, which involved dividing the patients into two age groups (<50 years and ≥50 years), the change of the sagittal vertical axis was significantly greater in the <50 years group (p=0.021).Conclusion The modified cervical and shoulder retraction exercise program tends to improve cervical lordosis and neck pain in patients with loss of cervical lordosis.
Senior economy in Poland
Authors: Wyszkowska Dorota
Published: June 2020

Since the early 1990s, noticeable demographic changes in Poland and throughout Europe have been observed. One of the most important of these is the continuous process of ageing of populations. The transformation of the age structure of a population entails significant changes in the scope and structure of demand for goods and services on the market. Economic entities should thus take the special needs of the elderly into consideration and adjust their production accordingly. This kind of economy, increasingly oriented towards the elderly, is called the senior economy (also known as the silver economy), or, in a narrower sense, the market of goods and services for seniors. The aim of this paper is to present the size and structure of the senior economy in Poland, understood as the market of goods and services for seniors. Figures describing this market come from the survey of the senior economy in Poland from the supply side, which was carried out by Statistics Poland in the years 2017–2018 as an experiment. The presented data refer to the year 2016 unless otherwise stated. This paper also utilises data from the National Health Fund (NFZ), Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) and Credit Information Bureau (BIK), added there to enhance the characteristics of the Polish market of goods and services for seniors. As the results of the research demonstrate, entities of the national economy in Poland do not yet perceive the elderly as a significant group of customers. It is the non-commercial entities rather than the commercial ones that more often focus their activity on catering to seniors’ needs. The majority of them operate in the health and care sections, which are the areas most often associated with the senior economy.
Students as participants of consumer research
Authors: Kaniewska-Sęba Aleksandra
Published: June 2020

The issue of conducting consumer research based on student samples has been discussed in scientific journals on economics and management since the 1970s. The large scale of experiments and surveys involving students, as well as the relatively common perception this social group as research representatives of other groups (e.g. adults or generation Y), raise methodological doubts. Students are not typical consumers, therefore they should not be the first or the only choice of researchers, as has often been the case.
The aim of the paper is to define both the opportunities and limitations connected to using student samples in consumer research, and to show the scale of this phenomenon in studies conducted in Poland. A content analysis (supported by a frequency analysis) of 64 articles from ‘Handel Wewnętrzny’ (‘Internal Trade’) journal from 2009–2018, containing research results in which students were either the only research group or one of two groups, was carried out.
The results of the analyses partly confirm the methodological problems signaled in foreign literature. In Poland, there is no overuse of student samples in scientific research. The problem lies rather in the lack of diligence in the description of research methods and the generalization of research results to broadly defined populations (e.g. young consumers).
Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles Decorated by Liquid Crystalline Groups: Computer Simulations
Authors: Ilnytskyi Jaroslav
Published: June 2020

We present the results of the computer simulations for the self-assembly of decorated nanoparticles. The models are rather generic and comprise a central core and a shell of ligands containing terminal liquid crystalline group, including the case of the azobenzene chromophores. The simulations are performed using the coarse-grained molecular dynamics with the effective soft-core interparticle interaction potentials obtained from the atomistic simulations. The discussion is centred around the set of the self-assembled morphologies in a melt of 100–200 of such decorated nanoparticles obtained upon the change of the temperature, surface density of ligands, the type of the terminal group attachment, as well as the prediction of the possibility of photo-assisted self-assembly of the nanoparticles decorated by the azobenzene chromophores.
Protected Areas in Cameroon at the Mercy of the 2035 Emergent Project
Authors: Magloire Takem Mbi Bienvenu , Kohtem Lebga Aloysious
Published: June 2020

Cameroon is investing efforts to protect the environment through the creation of protected areas (PAs) while at the same time longing to attain its development objectives of becoming an emergent country in 2035 through the exploitation of its natural potentials. Attaining both objectives is usually accompanied with conflicts between different ministerial departments. This paper consequently seeks to identify those PAs that overlap with other projects (mining, agro-industries, and forest exploitation) and calculate the surface area of the former that has been taken up by the later. Data were obtained from the Interactive Forestry Atlas of Cameroon Version 3.0 produced by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and its partners. Internet sites and existing reports on environmental and development issues in Cameroon among others served as important sources of information. Results demonstrate that an approximate area of more than 1 million hectares (ha) of PA land have been taken-up by the three economic development-oriented projects mentioned above. That is an estimated 1,173,479 ha, 3575 ha and 1814.44 ha of PA land that have been taken-up by mining sites, agro-industries, and forest exploitation, respectively. For both objectives to be attained, concerted efforts from all ministerial departments concerned is mandatory.

Published: June 2020

This study aims developing customized novel data acquisition for photovoltaic systems under extreme climates by utilizing off-the-shelf components and enhanced with data analytics for performance evaluation and prediction. Microcontrollers and sensors are used to measure meteorological and electrical parameters. Customized signal conditioning, which can withstand high-temperature along with microcontrollers’ development boards enhanced with appropriate interfacing shields and wireless data transmission to iCloud IoT platforms, is developed. In addition, an automatically controllable in-house electronic load of the PV system was developed to measure the maximum power possible from the system. LabVIEW™ program was used to allow ubiquitous access and processing of the recorded data over the used IoT. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms are utilized to predict the PV output power by utilizing data collected over a two-year span. The result of this study is the commissioning of original hardware for PV study under extreme climates. This study also shows how the use of specific ML algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) can successfully provide accurate predictions with low root-mean-squared error (RMSE) between the predicted and actual power. The results support reliable integration of PV systems into smart-grids for efficient energy planning and management, especially for arid and semi-arid regions.
Huge Cutaneous Metastases from Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Report of a Rare Case
Authors: R Mafi Ahmad
Published: June 2020

: Cutaneous metastases from gastric cancer are quite rare, accounting for only 6% of all skin metastases in males and 1% in females. In case of occurrence, they are usually a sign of advanced disease and poor prognosis. This report presents a rare case of a 27-year-old male with gastric cancer who developed huge skin metastases and surprisingly, had a few visceral metastases. After four cycles of palliative chemotherapy, he discontinued the treatment and started to consume some herbal medicine. As he had a few visceral metastases, we presume that he passed away due to septic complications of the skin lesions rather than visceral crisis.
Endovascular Treatment in Patients with Cerebral Artery Occlusion of Three Different Etiologies

Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose The outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) may differ depending on the etiology of arterial occlusion. This study aimed to assess the differences in EVT outcomes in patients with intracranial arterial steno-occlusion (ICAS-O), artery-to-artery embolism (AT-O), and cardiac embolism (CA-O).
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 330 patients with ischemic stroke who underwent EVT between January 2012 and August 2017. Patients were classified according to the etiology. The clinical data, EVT-related factors, and clinical outcomes were compared. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months, determined using ordinal logistic regression (shift analysis), was the primary outcome.
Results CA-O (n=149) was the most common etiology, followed by ICAS-O (n=63) and AT-O (n=49). Age, initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and rate of hemorrhagic transformation were significantly higher in patients with CA-O compared to AT-O and ICAS-O. The time from onset-to-recanalization was the shortest in the CA-O (356.0 minutes) groups, followed by the AT-O (847.0 minutes) and ICAS-O (944.0 minutes) groups. The rates of successful recanalization, mRS distribution, and favorable outcomes at 3 months (mRS 0–2; CA-O, 36.9%, AT-O, 53.1%; and ICAS-O, 41.3%) did not differ among the three groups. Baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.83 to 0.91) could independently predict a favorable shift in mRS distribution.
Conclusions The functional outcomes of ICAS-O and AT-O were similar to those of CA-O, despite the delay in symptom onset-to-recanalization, suggesting that the therapeutic time window may be extended in these patients.

Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose Patients with acute ischemic stroke, proximal vessel occlusion and a large ischemic core at presentation are commonly not considered for mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We tested the hypothesis that in patients with baseline large infarct cores, identification of remaining penumbral tissue using perfusion imaging would translate to better outcomes after MT.
Methods This was a multicenter, retrospective, core lab adjudicated, cohort study of adult patients with proximal vessel occlusion, a large ischemic core volume (diffusion weighted imaging volume ≥70 mL), with pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging perfusion, treated with MT (2015 to 2018) or medical care alone (controls; before 2015). Primary outcome measure was 3-month favorable outcome (defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 0–3). Core perfusion mismatch ratio (CPMR) was defined as the volume of critically hypo-perfused tissue (Tmax >6 seconds) divided by the core volume. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine factors that were independently associated with clinical outcomes. Outputs are displayed as adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results A total of 172 patients were included (MT n=130; Control n=42; mean age 69.0±15.4 years; 36% females). Mean core-volume and CPMR were 102.3±36.7 and 1.8±0.7 mL, respectively. As hypothesized, receiving MT was associated with increased probability of favorable outcome and functional independence, as CPMR increased, a difference becoming statistically significant above a mismatch-ratio of 1.72. Similarly, receiving MT was also associated with favorable outcome in the subgroup of 74 patients with CPMR >1.7 (aOR, 8.12; 95% CI, 1.24 to 53.11; P=0.028). Overall (prior to stratification by CPMR) 73 (42.4%) patients had a favorable outcome at 3 months, with no difference amongst groups.
Conclusions In patients currently deemed ineligible for MT due to large infarct ischemic cores at baseline, CPMR identifies a subgroup strongly benefiting from MT. Prospective studies are warranted.

Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with the risk of stroke and dementia independently of other vascular risk factors, but its association with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unknown. Here, we employed a systematic review and meta-analysis to address this gap.
Methods Following the MOOSE guidelines (PROSPERO protocol: CRD42018110305), we systematically searched the literature for studies exploring the association between LVH or left ventricular (LV) mass, with neuroimaging markers of CSVD (lacunes, white matter hyperintensities [WMHs], cerebral microbleeds [CMBs]). We evaluated risk of bias and pooled association estimates with random-effects meta-analyses.
Results We identified 31 studies (n=25,562) meeting our eligibility criteria. In meta-analysis, LVH was associated with lacunes and extensive WMHs in studies of the general population (odds ratio [OR]lacunes, 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 to 2.00) (ORWMH, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.38 to 2.17) and studies in highrisk populations (ORlacunes: 2.39; 95% CI, 1.32 to 4.32) (ORWMH, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.45 to 2.80). The results remained stable in general population studies adjusting for hypertension and other vascular risk factors, as well as in sub-analyses by LVH assessment method (echocardiography/electrocardiogram), study design (cross-sectional/cohort), and study quality. Across LV morphology patterns, we found gradually increasing ORs for concentric remodelling, eccentric hypertrophy, and concentric hypertrophy, as compared to normal LV geometry. LVH was further associated with CMBs in high-risk population studies.
Conclusions LVH is associated with neuroimaging markers of CSVD independently of hypertension and other vascular risk factors. Our findings suggest LVH as a novel risk factor for CSVD and highlight the link between subclinical heart and brain damage.

Authors: Rigoletti Vanessa Calciolari , Deliberato Débora
Published: June 2020

Com a inclusão escolar de todos os alunos no ensino regular, discute-se como o professor promove a sua rotina direcionada aos alunos com necessidades específicas. Parte de um estudo abrangente, este artigo teve como objetivo identificar as mediações dos professores direcionadas ao aluno com deficiência e necessidade complexa de comunicação. Participaram dez professores do ensino regular de 1° ao 5° ano. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a entrevista semiestruturada e o Protocolo de Habilidades Comunicativas. Os dados foram transcritos e analisados de acordo com o objetivo proposto. Estabeleceram-se temas e subtemas. Dentre eles, destacou-se o Tema Rotina Pedagógica da Sala de Aula, como parte o subtema Mediação do Professor, no qual este estudo se direcionou. Os resultados evidenciaram que o aluno com necessidade complexa de comunicação traz desafios para os professores em sua proposta de mediação. Tais dados sugerem discussões que possam contribuir não somente com as mediações realizadas pelo professor, mas de forma que suas inquietações promovam buscas sólidas na rotina escolar, com objetivos claros no desenvolvimento do conhecimento dos alunos. Conclui-se que os professores precisam traçar um plano de mediação pedagógica que possa contribuir com as aprendizagens de tais alunos. Este estudo indicou relevância no direcionamento do professor do ensino regular quanto ao planejamento das mediações pedagógicas, a fim de eliminar barreiras que possam interferir na rotina pedagógica da sala de aula, na comunicação e na aprendizagem do aluno com deficiência e necessidade complexa de comunicação.

Published: June 2020

O desenvolvimento psicossocial apresenta características particulares em cada etapa do ciclo de vida e está vinculado com as experiências entre indivíduo e ambiente. O presente estudo caracterizou o desenvolvimento psicossocial de adolescentes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista, considerando singularidades relacionais sobre o prisma interação, inclusão e integração social, na perspectiva de pais e/ou responsáveis. Trata-se de um recorte quantitativo, a partir da aplicação de formulário autoral, com 26 pais e/ou responsáveis de adolescentes institucionalizados em entidade específica. Os resultados apontaram prejuízos principalmente nas relações pessoais e de integração social, repercutindo de modo negativo no desenvolvimento psicossocial. Neste sentido, são necessárias estratégias para ampliar o desenvolvimento desta população, com apoio às famílias, estímulo das habilidades pessoais e contato com atividades coerentes com a etapa de vida. Todavia, a carência de instrumentalização dos serviços de saúde e de socialização em ambientes integrados fomenta a necessidade de novos saberes neste contexto para a garantia da equidade.

As pessoas com deficiência são historicamente discriminadas e, entre as várias ações para reduzir a discriminação, encontra-se a investigação da terminologia que as caracterizam. Pesquisas mostram que a linguagem e os conceitos que as pessoas utilizam influenciam os aspectos sociais, tal como termos pejorativos. Com base nesses aspectos, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a apropriação e a circulação do termo “pessoa com deficiência” na comunidade científica brasileira e discutir a natureza social das terminologias e suas implicações. Para a investigação das terminologias relacionadas a quem possui o impairment, essa pesquisa analisou a apropriação do termo definido pela Convenção sobre o Direito das Pessoas com Deficiência utilizado no Brasil com base no referencial teórico dos conceitos de apropriação, de Roger Chartier (1988), tradução e negociação, de Zoia Prestes (2010), e circulação, de Pierre Bourdieu (2002). Pode-se constatar a importância da tradução e da distinção dos termos disability e impairment. A alteração na tradução do impairment como impedimento em vez de lesão resulta na concepção da deficiência como tragédia pessoal, um problema para a própria pessoa, devido ao impedimento. Da mesma forma, se a tradução de impairment for deficiência, implica não considerar os problemas físicos e de saúde que podem acontecer. Verificou-se que tanto a apropriação quanto a tradução de um termo devem estar inseridos dentro de uma cultura de origem e de destino. Embora o termo utilizado e apropriado no Brasil seja “pessoa com deficiência”, não há um consenso na literatura. Espera-se que este estudo contribua para uma reflexão crítica desse termo utilizado.
Reflexiones desde la bioética sociobiológica ante el arte transgénico
Authors: Sarriugarte Gomez Iñigo
Published: June 2020

Resumen: La dificultad de esquematizar una postura homogénea frente al arte transgénico marca la necesidad de asentar un espectro divergente en torno a dicha cuestión. No obstante, teniendo en cuenta las diferentes modalidades bioéticas existentes, se ha optado por un acercamiento a la vertiente sociobiológica y a algunos de los principales pensadores que se han instalado en las proximidades de dicha corriente. Dentro del bioarte, se articula inevitablemente una implicación moral y ética, ya que desde este ámbito artístico se interviene sobre organismos vivos mediante herramientas biotecnológicas, lo que conlleva un replanteamiento de la naturaleza del arte y sus límites de actuación. En el arte genético o transgénetico, se hace uso de cultivos de células, síntesis de secuencias de ADN producidas y manipuladas, etc. Distintos creadores, como Kart Mihail y Tran Kim-Trang, Eduardo Kac, Brandon Ballengée, o el colectivo Tissue Culture & Art Project han contribuido de una manera muy productiva a incentivar este debate, que será enriquecido mediante una confinidad al apartado sociobiológico.Abstract: The difficulty of schematizing a homogeneous position in relation to the transgenic art marks the need to establish a divergent spectrum around this issue. However, taking into account the different existing bioethical modalities, we have opted for an approach to sociobiological bioethics and some of the main thinkers who have settled in the vicinity of this current. In the BioArt, the moral and ethical involvement is articulated, because from this artistic field the artists intervene on living organisms through biotechnology tools, which entails a rethinking of the nature of art and its performance limits. Within the Genetic or Transgenic Art, the artists make use of cell cultures, synthesis of DNA sequences produced and manipulated, and so on. Various artists, as Karl Mihail and Tran Kim-Trang, Eduardo Kac, Brandon Ballengée, or the group Tissue Culture & Art Project have contributed in a very productive way to stimulate this debate, being enriched by means of sociobiological field.

Published: June 2020

Resumen: El creciente uso de Apps, incluso entornos educativos, requiere de una mirada crítica y evaluativa que permita establecer unos criterios para el diseño de Apps específicas a los fines educativos y concretamente al uso educativo en la disciplina de Educación Artística. Es por ello que se presenta esta investigación cuyo objetivo principal es diseñar una herramienta para la evaluación de Apps educativas para la Educación Plástica. Para ello se realiza una investigación teórica y se consultan trabajos previos que permiten establecer los criterios para la realización de la evaluación. Tras esto se muestra la metodología de la investigación (basada en el método OEPE), el diseño del instrumento y su validación. Seguidamente se da cuenta de la implementación del diseño y su pilotaje. Los resultados obtenidos se encaminan hacia un deficiente desarrollo de los contenidos y un escaso desarrollo de la creatividad por las Apps evaluadas.Abstract: The greater use of applications, including educational environments, requires a critical and evaluative look that allows establishing criteria for the design of specific applications for educational purposes and specifically the educational use in the discipline of artistic education. That is the reason to develop this research whose objective is to design a tool for the evaluation of Educational Applications for Arts Education. To reach this aim, a theoretical investigation is carried out and previous works that allow to establish the criteria for the realization of the evaluation are consulted. After this, the research methodology (based on the OEPE method), the instrument design and its validation are shown. Then it is given an explanation of the implementation of the design and its piloting. The results obtained lead us towards the viewpoint that there is a low development of creativity by the evaluated applications.
La modificación del relato legendario en La mujer pantera, de Jacques Tourneur (1942)
Authors: García-Manso Angélica
Published: June 2020

Resumen: El estudio analiza el relato y las fuentes textuales de La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), clásica película dirigida por Jacques Tourneur, y se hace a partir de la idea de transformación de una leyenda. Esbozada originariamente por Val Lewton en 1930, se trata de una leyenda que concede una importancia fundamental al tema de la metamorfosis, como si de un relato mitológico grecolatino se tratara: así, en la conversión de una mujer en pantera ante el contacto carnal masculino se funden una supuesta maldición medieval de raíces eslavas con la reacción furibunda de deidades clásicas al ser descubiertas en su desnudez. El análisis de la variación de un relato legendario en otro diferente posee una palpable utilidad didáctica a la hora de comprender el surgimiento de nuevas narraciones, máxime cuando su soporte es el arte cinematográfico.Abstract: This study analyzes the story and textual sources of Cat People (1942), classic film directed by Jacques Tourneur, from the idea of transformation of a legend. This legend was originally outlined by Val Lewton in 1930, and it gives fundamental importance to the theme of metamorphosis, as it was a Greco-Roman mythological tale: thus, the conversion of a woman in a panther with the male sexual contact fuses a supposed Slavic medieval curse with the furious reaction of classical deities when they were discovered in their nakedness. The analysis of the variation of a legendary story into a different one has a palpable teaching utility in order to understand the emergence of new tales, especially when their support is cinema.
El fotoperiodismo dentro del escenario migratorio en las costas marítimas de la Unión Europea.
Authors: Lehnen Cojocaru Lacette Maria , Jiménez Bautista Francisco , Lozano Martín Antonio Manuel
Published: June 2020

Resumen: Este artículo analiza un conjunto de escenas fotográficas en las costas marítimas de la Unión Europea (UE), divulgadas por fotógrafos presentes en los lugares a los que llegan los inmigrantes. Intentamos responder a la pregunta: ¿Cuál es el lugar del sujeto en el mundo? a través del análisis de las imágenes seleccionadas que reproducen este drama humanitario. Desde una metodología hermenéutica, intentamos dar respuesta a la retórica de la exclusión que dibuja, metafóricamente, dos mundos separados; los inmigrantes frente a los residentes europeos y pone de manifiesto el (no)lugar del inmigrante en el discurso de las políticas migratorias de la UE. El resultado es la reproducción del imaginario colectivo que alimenta el racismo y las xenofobias donde la invisibilidad del inmigrante tiene su construcción social. Concluimos que los cambios positivos, pueden estar representados en las manos solidarias de los que salvan vidas en el Mediterráneo que desvelan una mirada (imagen simbólica) de que sólo existe un mundo, y en él, viene el derecho a la una vida digna para todos.Abstract: This article analyses a set of photographs of the maritime coasts of the European Union (EU), released by photographers located in places where immigrants arrive on precarious ships, fleeing poverty and the wars that afflict them. The study tries to answer the question "What is the place of the subject in the world?” through the analysis of the selected images that reproduce a humanitarian drama. The results indicate the following discursive arguments: the rhetoric of exclusion draws, metaphorically, two separate worlds, immigrants versus European residents, and highlights the (non)place of the immigrant in the discourse of EU migration policies; a reproduction of the collective imaginary that feeds racism and xenophobia, where the invisibility of the immigrant is a social construct; the positive changes for humanity, which can be represented in the hands of solidarity of those who save lives in the Mediterranean, revealing a symbolic image: There is only one world, and with it, the right to a dignified life for all.
