El ambiente de la escuela y el desempeño ocupacional del escolar Propuesta de intervención ambiental desde el quehacer de Terapia Ocupacional
Authors: Tobón Martha
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es resaltar la influencia del ambiente sobre el rol del escolar y proponer estrategias de intervención para favorecer el desempeño del estudiante.La influencia ambiental sobre el desempeño ocupacional del escolar es definitiva. La interacción con el entorno es el camino para adaptarse al estilo del colegio, desarrollar habilidades propias del rol escolar, resolver problemas, enfrentar retos y aprender.El ambiente de la escuela propone al niño modelos de comportamiento que debe conocer; fija límites a sus acciones; brinda ejemplos para que construya su escala de valores y exige de él acciones sociales y democráticas (Amaya y otras, 1999).Muchos problemas escolares que afectan el rendimiento académico de los niños pueden deberse a disfunciones debidas a factores propios del individuo como los psicológicos o biológicos o a las condiciones del entorno.Esas disfunciones pueden ser causadas por ambientes sin preparar, muy exigentes o poco demandantes, con territorios no muy claros, con diferencias culturales, o por la existencia de dificultades en el niño como son las motoras, sensoriales, comunicativas, emocionales o cognitivas.La evaluación ambiental consiste en una observación tan completa que permita la identificación de las demandas que se le plantean al individuo; los territorios que debe manejar; las capacidades sensoriomotoras, comunicativas, cognitivas y sociales con las que este cuenta; los recursos, posibilidades y oportunidades que existen.Para lograr un exitoso plan de intervención es necesario: Identificar el problema y describirlo en términos de comportamientos observables. Analizarlo dando hipótesis de lo que lo causa y las consecuencias que tiene para el niño. Establecer metas que expresen claramente dónde y cuándo se van a evaluar. Escoger la intervención a partir de las posibles soluciones al problema. Plantear un plan de acción: qué, quién, cuándo, dónde, cómo, cómo compruebo resultados. Implementar el plan o sea poner en acción las estrategias y actividades seleccionadas. Hacer una evaluación para terminar la intervención.La propuesta de intervención del ambiente escolar centrada en el niño que aquí se presenta corresponde al programa que se diseñó en el Jardín Infantil Por un Mañana, en Bogotá, Colombia. Se basa también en la experiencia de la autora en consultorio escolar para el desempeño de los escolares. Y se fundamenta en la revisión bibliográfica de las principales autoras que escriben sobre Terapia Ocupacional y Educación. Las estrategias y actividades aquí planteadas responden a las necesidades propias de los escolares de nuestro entorno colombiano.

Published: November 2019

Amphiphilic block copolymers that undergo (reversible) physical gelation in aqueous media are of great interest in different areas including drug delivery, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biofabrication. We investigated a small library of ABA-type triblock copolymers comprising poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) as the hydrophilic shell A and different aromatic poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s cores B in aqueous solution at different concentrations and temperatures. Interestingly, aqueous solutions of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazine)-block-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMeOx-b-PPheOzi-b-PMeOx) undergo inverse thermogelation below a critical temperature. The viscoelastic properties of the resulting gel can be conveniently tailored by the concentration and the polymer composition. Storage moduli of up to 110 kPa could be obtained while the material remains shear-thinning and retains rapid self-healing properties. We demonstrate 3D-printing of excellently defined and shape persistent 24-layered scaffolds at different aqueous concentrations to highlight its application potential e.g. in the research area of biofabrication. A mesoporous microstructure, which is stable throughout the printing process, could be confirmed via cryo-SEM analysis. The absence of cytotoxicity even at very high concentrations opens wide range of different applications for this first-in-class material in the field of biomaterials.
Droplet Factories: Synthesis and Assembly of Silver and Palladium Nanoparticles at the Liquid-Liquid Interface
Authors: Sachdev Suchanuch , Maugi Rhushabh , Davis Sam , Doak Scott , Zhou Zhaoxia , Platt Mark
Published: November 2019

The interface between two immiscible liquids represent an ideal substrate for the assembly of nanomaterials. The defect free surface provides a reproducible support for creating densely packed ordered materials. Here a droplet flow reactor is presented for the synthesis and/ or assembly of nanomaterials at the interface of the emulsion. Each droplet acts as microreactor for a reaction between decamethylferrocene (DmFc) within the hexane and metal salts (Ag+/ Pd2+) in the aqueous phase. The hypothesis was that a spontaneous, interfacial reaction would lead to the assembly of nanomaterials creating a Pickering emulsion. The subsequent removal of the solvents showed how the Ag nanoparticles were trapped at the interface and retain the shape of the droplet, however the Pd nanoparticles were dispersed with no tertiary structure. To further exploit this, a one-step process where the particles are synthesised and then assembled into core-shell materials was proposed. The same reactions were performed in the presence of oleic acid stabilise Iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed within the hexane. It was shown that by changing the reaction rate and ratio between palladium and iron oxide a continuous coating of palladium onto iron oxide microspheres can be created. The same reaction with silver, was unsuccessful and resulted in the silver particles being shed into solution, or incorporated within the iron oxide micro particle. These insights offer a new method and chemistry within flow reactors for the creation of palladium and silver nanoparticles. We use the technique to create metal coated iron oxide nanomaterials but the methodology could be easily transferred to the assembly of other materials.

Authors: Zainab Nizar Jawad  , Kamal Abul Rasool
Published: November 2019

Obesity is regarded nowadays as one of the worldwide medical and psychosocial problem so that many researches had been dealt with the underlying causes of resistant obesity and increased body mass index “BMI”. Recent data demonstrate the strong association between the presence of obesity with specific gene called fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO). Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was detected that are discovered that closely related to the increased incidence of obesity among populations, notably rs9939609 and rs17817449 SNPs. To evaluate the presence of these SNPs as a predisposing factor in obese persons with BMI exceeds 30. A 100 obese persons were selected randomly along with 50 body-fitted people as a control group. Molecular detection of these SNPs was done by RT-PCR followed by statistical analysis.  there was significant increase in expression of AA genotype of FTO rs9939609  SNP in obese persons in comparison to non-obese group (0.60 ± 0.04 versus 0.28 ± 0.06 respectively at P> 0.002) and significant increase in expression of GG genotype of FTO rs1781744 SNP in obese persons in comparison to non-obese group 0.59 ± 0.04 versus 0.22 ± 0.05 respectively at P> 0.001)
Islamic Bankers to have the Prior Right to Justice and Fair Treatment
Authors:   The Editor, Journal of Islamic Business and Management, Ayub Muhammad
Published: November 2019

Islamic banking that has evolved for justice and fair treatment with all stakeholders has noticeably developed in Pakistan since its re-launch in 2002. In this perspective, employees and the general staff of Islamic banks have the prior right to be treated fairly and justly. JIBM editorial this time is focusing on whether the Islamic banks are performing this function or not. Using the Exploratory research method, the study finds that Islamic bankers at the lower and the middle levels are being increasingly exploited by the banks. Banks working under the capitalistic paradigm, it is the case of all countries with abundance of available HR that employees are forced to accept the ‘Submission Contracts’ (Al-Bann, 1981). It discusses the imperatives of socio-economic justice, Islamic banks’ profits, return paid to depositors, employees’ packages and the nature of treatment of the banks’ management with employees. Finally, some recommendations have been given for IBIs’ management teams, the regulator, and the State.

This study focuses on issues in agricultural finance in Pakistan and suggests the use of bay‘ al-Salam, the forward contract as allowed in Islamic law of contracts. Despite vital importance, the agriculture sector in Pakistan hasn’t been able to make the case to gain attention on the Government’s priority list. A number of negatively impacting elements can be pointed out, but the standalone interest based system of agricultural credit can be termed as the most harmful for farmers, agriculture sector and the national economy. Major problems include insufficient institutional credit, exorbitant rate of interest, non-availability of collateral and the cumbersome procedures. This situation creates a credit gap which is filled by the non-institutional sources like middlemen, shopkeepers and money lenders who too exploit the poor farmers. However, they still borrow from private sources as the access is easier. The concerns are growing about the existing interest based credit system and voices are also raised for an alternative system that is easy to access as also compliant with the Shar¯ı‘ah principles. Salam financing for the purchase of crops initiated by Sudanese banks couldn’t create desired impact fully. Similarly, Salam financing offered by First Islamic Bank of Indonesia faced serious Shar¯ı‘ah compliance issues. However, a private body namely Wasil Foundation’s bay‘ al-Salam initiative in Pakistan seems comparatively a successful story. A relatively better response and wider acceptance by the stakeholders to Salam financing offered by Wasil indicates that banks (both conventional and Islamic) cannot apply Salam efficiently due to non-availability of required infrastructure. Although Salam financing is highly instrumental mode of finance for agriculture, but could fail if managed through the Islamic banks in obtaining the desired outcome. This study, based on the literature and expert opinion collected through a survey, proposes a separate body to handle Salam financing to agriculture in Pakistan.

In E-banking the customers’ role is critical and important. Their inclination towards e-banking is of high importance to the banks as well. This study explored the behaviour of individual customers for their adoption of e-banking considering ease of use and awareness provided by the Islamic banks in Pakistan. Data was collected from 300 individuals. Process by Hayes (2012) was used for analysis. Results show that mediating role of confidence on e-banking between the relationship of ease of use and adoption of e-banking is significant. Variable of confidence on e-banking mediates the relationship between dependent and independent variable. The second mediating role of confidence in e-banking mediates the relationship between relationship of awareness to use and adoption of e-banking. This study has critical implications for the Islamic banks in Pakistan that they need to facilitate and create awareness among customers to go for adoption of e-banking which will not only be convenient for customers but would be resource saving for the banks.

Gossip at workplace can has serious implications for any organization. Knowing the reasons for existence of gossip can help in better management of gossip at workplace. This study examines the impact of abusive supervision on workplace gossip where gossip is divided into job related and non-job related gossip. Further, this study examines the moderating role of religion-driven work ethics i.e. Islamic work ethics on abusive supervision-workplace gossip relationship. Using convenience sampling technique, 144 individuals working in service sector of Pakistan were surveyed on adopted scales. Statistical techniques applied were correlation and moderated regression analysis. Results of the study show that abusive supervision is negatively related with both job and non-job related gossip. Further, it was found that Islamic work ethics moderate relationship of abusive supervision and job related gossip. We propose that managers may arrange special training sessions in organizations to enhance Islamic work ethics at workplace and minimize abusive supervision as both have important contributions towards lessening gossip at workplace.

JARDINAGEM DE GUERRILHA: INSTRUMENTALIZANDO O FORTALECIMENTO DA FUNÇÃO SOCIAL DA PROPRIEDADE
Authors: Pontes Ana Carolina Amaral , De Oliveira Daniel Gonçalves
Published: November 2019

Este artigo reflete sobre como estratégias de jardinagem de guerrilha podem instrumentalizar o fortalecimento da função social da propriedade. Tanto como forma de pressão sobre a qualidade dos espaços ofertados pelo poder público para convivência e coletividade, na qualidade e manutenção de praças e parques, como para fiscalização do estado de terrenos abandonados, subutilizados e que geram risco para a coletividade e a segurança pública. Essas estratégias também podem contribuir para fortalecer o conceito de uso digno e exploração ambientalmente correta, em um país onde quantidade considerável de pequenas e pequenos produtores não detêm propriedades, por situações de grilagem de terras e outras. Urge um Direito que, em visão decolonial, amplie o tratamento da função social da propriedade e da produção coletiva.

From the Grave to the Cradle: Looking for Answers to the Question of Consent to Reproduce Posthumously in New Zealand
Authors: Ceballos Martha
Published: November 2019

In New Zealand, posthumous reproduction is regulated by the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004 (HART Act), which established two bodies, the Advisory Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ACART) and the Ethics Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ECART). In 2000, the predecessor of ECART, the National Ethics Committee on Assisted Human Reproduction (NECAHR), issued "Guidelines for the Storage, Use, and Disposal of Sperm from a Deceased Man" designed to provide a legal framework for this technology. However, a recent application to the High Court by the partner of a man who unexpectedly died, requesting permission to have sperm retrieved from the deceased and the subsequent judgment handed down by the High Court in 2017,  have highlighted the shortcomings of the current posthumous reproduction regulations. This has led to a recent consultation process by ACART to review and revise the guidelines. Relying on Re Lee, the landmark judgment of the High Court that found in favour of granting the permission sought and which sheds light on the legal aspects of posthumous reproduction in New Zealand, the current article discusses the approach endorsed by the HART Act regarding consent for posthumous retrieval and use of gametes.

Authors: A Breckon Denise , A. McCoy Ilene , Strom Tiffany , W Jordan Donna , Galmai Keni
Published: November 2019

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Logistics Competency is implementing new technology that will transform the way that logistics analysis is performed. Implementing technology can be a challenge for organizations and especially when the technology disrupts the existing logistics processes. Some of the workforce may view the use of digital devices as frustrating and are likely to be reluctant to accept the new technology even with its enhanced benefits that improve logistics. This research uses a systematic review and thematic synthesis to identify the factors impacting a user’s perceptions of the technology and how their perceptions influence acceptance through the theoretical lens of the technology acceptance model. A user’s acceptance is influenced by their perceptions of the complexity and usability of the technology, leadership’s demonstrated support of the technology, and self-perceptions of self-efficacy and trust. Managers should introduce the technology with a positive attitude, choose early adopters to influence peers, and provide tailored training according to the user’s comfort and perceptions to increase trust and increase acceptance.

The present research focuses on the analysis of the

novels “The Kite Runner”, “A Thousand Splendid Suns”, “And the Mountains

Echoed” by Afghan born American writer Khaled Hosseini in line with the major

characteristics of the historical perspective in literature.  The literature scholars and researchers are

highly interested in Afghan-American literature as representing the diaspora

features. In his novels Hosseini could depict Afghanistan in terms of three

perspectives: childhood, womanhood and family reunion in pre-in-post Taliban

periods. Considering the perspectives found in this research, it is obvious

that Hosseini globally demonstrates the real outlook of his nation and country,

and moreover establishes that having peace and wealth is the life meaning for

Afghan people the same as for other human beings. In the present analysis, the

research problem is to investigate how the major perspectives of Afghanistan

have been employed to represent Khaled Hosseini’s literary image as a writer.

The data collected from the detailed analysis of the texts of Hosseini’s novels

“The Kite Runner”, “A Thousand Splendid Suns”, “And the Mountains Echoed”

helped to answer questions related to childhood, womanhood and family reunion

perspectives of Afghanistan. The results of this work revealed that the writer

used these three perspectives effectively in his texts to show the macrocosm of

Afghanistan. This study is an effort to unfold the significance of literary

characteristics of the novels mentioned above. It will help to decode the

essential perspective peculiarities of Hosseini’s works by applying historical

perspective method.

Introduction: The relationship between the inclination of the first metatarsocuneiform joint (FMCJ) in the anteroposterior (AP) plane and the hallux valgus (HV) deformity is controversial. The objectives of our study are to assess whether the FMCJ inclination in the AP plane affects the presence and severity of HV and first ray sagittal mobility (FRSM). Methods: In this study, 35 control feet (22 patients) and 37 feet with HV (25 patients) were evaluated. Hallux valgus was graded using the HV angle (HVA), and the inclination of the FMCJ in the AP plane was assessed using the method described by Hardy and Clapham. The radiographs were taken as described by Maestro, in 2 institutions. The FRSM was measured using an Eulji Medical Center (EMC)-like manual device (previously described and validated). Results: HVA, in controls: 8.75°; in cases: 23.74°, p<0.001. FMCJ inclination in the AP plane, in controls: 8.60°; in cases: 13.33°, p=0.001. Correlation between the FMCJ inclination in the AP plane and the HVA, in controls: r=0.24, p=0.16; in cases: r=-0.01, p=0.98. Correlation between the FMCJ inclination in the AP and the FRM, in controls: r=-0.16, p=0.37; in cases: r=-0.10, p=0.55. Conclusion: The inclination of the FMCJ in the AP plane was greater in the patients with HV, indicating that a larger slope of the FMCJ can be a risk factor for HV. There was no association between FMCJ inclination and the severity of HV. There was no association between FMCJ inclination and FRSM; therefore, we cannot define the mobility or even the hypermobility of the FMCJ based on the FMCJ with the largest inclination in the AP plane. Performing the radiographic examinations at the same institutions kept the protocol constant, thereby decreasing measurement errors.

Introduction: The role of first ray sagittal mobility (FRSM) in the etiology and treatment of hallux valgus (HV) remains controversial. The manual clinical test of FRSM performed during the physical examination of HV is completely subjective. Our objective was to compare individuals with and without HV using a previously described manual device validated to evaluate FRSM and to assess the correlation between FRSM and HV severity and between FRSM and the degree of foot flatness. Methods: Thirty-seven feet with HV and 35 control feet were compared using a Eulji Medical Center (EMC)-like manual device. The HV grade was measured using the HV angle (HVA), and the degree of foot flatness was measured using Meary’s angle. Results: FRSM in controls: 6.31 mm; in cases: 8.97 mm, p<0.001, with a difference between controls and cases of 2.66 mm. HVA in controls: 8.75°; in cases: 23.74°, p<0.001. Correlation between FRSM and HVA in controls: r=-0.09, p=0.63; in cases: r=-0.08, p=0.63. Correlation between FRSM and Meary’s angle in controls: r=-0.04, p=0.83; in cases: r=-0.02, p=0.89. The 90th percentile in controls was 8 mm. Conclusion: The individuals with HV had greater FRSM than the controls, and the mean difference was 2.66 mm; a previous study using a Klaue device showed a similar difference of 3.62 mm. There was no correlation between HV severity and FRSM; that is, the more severe cases of HV did not show greater mobility. Therefore, more severe cases will not have a greater likelihood of tarsometatarsal arthrodesis based on the FRSM. There was no correlation between FRSM and foot flatness (Meary’s angle); that is, the FRSM did not increase with foot flatness. The 90th percentile in controls was 8 mm; in other words, 10% of individuals without HV have mobility equal to or greater than 8 mm.

Introduction: With the increasing use of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), new implants with varied configurations are being developed every year. This study aimed to assess the early complications, reoperations, and radiographic and clinical outcomes of this novel implant. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 64 consecutive ankles that underwent a primary Infinity® TAA was performed. Patients had an average follow-up of 24.5 (range, 18-39) months. Medical records were reviewed to determine the incidence of complications, reoperations, and revisions. Additionally, patient-reported outcomes were analyzed with the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS). Results: Survivorship of the implant was 95.3%. Fourteen ankles (21.8%) presented a total of 17 complications. A total of 12 reoperations were necessary in 11 ankles (17.1%). Revision surgery was indicated for 3 ankles (4.7%) as a result of subsidence of the implant. Tibiotalar coronal deformity was significantly improved after surgery (P < .0001) and maintained at the latest follow-up (P = .81). Periprosthetic radiolucent lines were observed around the tibial component in 20 ankles (31%) and around the talar component in 2 ankles (3.1%). A tibial cyst was observed in 1 ankle (1.5%). Outcome scores were significantly improved for all FAOS components analyzed (P < .0001). Conclusion: Most complications observed in the study were minor and successfully treated with a single reoperation procedure or nonoperatively. Failures and radiographic abnormalities were most commonly related to the tibial implant. Further studies with longer follow-ups are needed to evaluate the survivorship of the tibial implant over the long term.

Introduction: The bone graft is an important component of foot and ankle arthrodesis and is used in conditions in which the biological system is known to be unfavorable and scraping the joint will cause a considerable structural defect. The objective was to evaluate the union rate of subtalar arthrodesis in smokers and nonsmokers and to determine the effect of the use of different types of bone autografts. Methods: Retrospective study with radiological evaluation of patients diagnosed with subtalar arthrosis who underwent primary arthrodesis from January 2008 to December 2014. All patients with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months were included and were divided into smokers and nonsmokers treated with or without autologous bone grafting. Results: In total, 235 patients with a mean age of 47 years were evaluated; whom 90 (40%) were smokers, and 141 (60%) were nonsmokers. In 221 (94%) cases, the indication for arthrodesis was sequelae of calcaneal fractures. A bone graft was used in 27.7% patients. The overall union rate was 85.4%, and 14.6% of the patients developed pseudarthrosis. A significant difference was found in the nonunion rate of smokers versus nonsmokers (p=0.015), especially in those who did not receive a bone graft (p=0.014). However, no significant difference was found between smokers who received a bone graft and those who did not (p=0.072). The union rate was related to the donor site, with pseudarthrosis observed in 33.3% of surgeries involving a calcaneal autograft (p=0.011). Conclusion: Smoking increased the likelihood of pseudarthrosis in subtalar arthrodesis by 2.5 fold, and pseudarthrosis was related to the bone autograft donor site.

Introduction: There is no consensus in the literature on the most effective technique for subtalar arthrodesis, particularly the optimal number of screws for adequate fixation. Our objective is to determine whether there is a difference in the fusion rates of subtalar arthrodesis when one or 2 compression screws are used. Methods: Retrospective study assessing the fusion rate of patients who underwent subtalar arthrodesis between January 2012 to December 2016. Fusion was determined clinically using radiographs and, when necessary, computed tomography. Results: The final sample consisted of 80 patients, 78.8% of whom were male, and the mean final evaluation time was 23.27 months. Subtalar arthrosis due to calcaneal fracture was the etiologic factor in 95% of the patients. The group that underwent arthrodesis with one screw accounted for 68.75% patients, and the group with 2 screws accounted for 31.25% patients. The incidence of nonfusion was 10.9% in the group for which one screw was used, in contrast to 4.0% in the group in which 2 screws were used, and the difference was not significant (p=0.425). Conclusion: The use of a second screw did not improve the fusion rates of subtalar arthrodesis.

Introduction: First tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis, more commonly known as the Lapidus procedure, is used to treat severe hallux valgus, associated first ray hypermobility and regional osteoarthrosis. Despite its high rate of deformity correction and resolutive power, the technique is not without complications. However, there is little scientific evidence regarding complications after this procedure. Objective: This study aims to record complications associated with first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis. Methods: Patients who underwent this arthrodesis procedure, which was performed by different surgeons trained at Paulista School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo, were assessed over a series of outpatient follow-up visits. Results: In total, 16 patients operated on in over an 18-month period were evaluated in this study. During this period, 8 patients developed some type of complication, either major or minor. Three patients experienced deformity relapse, one case of which with associated pseudarthrosis; 2 patients had delayed union; 2 patients had hardware loosening, one of whom had associated pseudarthrosis; and one patient had surgical wound dehiscence. In all cases, the procedure was completed using high-quality materials. Discussion: In our literature review, we found various complications, including pseudarthrosis, delayed union, symptomatic hardware, relapse and loss of correction. There are reports in the literature of surgical technique modifications, such as changes in fixation types and implant positioning, to reduce the rate of these complications. However, even with new implants and the evolution of the procedure, this surgery still requires a steep learning curve, and the rate of complications is not small.
