Authors: Čermáková E.
Published: March 2021

This paper presents the physical basis of the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials and shows their relationships with external geomagnetic field. It graphically processes the experimental data detected by an HMR magnetometer. Taking into account the natural geomagnetic field under the effects of steel U profiles, variations of the natural geomagnetic field in a steel structure building are indicated and the potential existence of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in these types of buildings is pointed out.
Geoinformatics Study at the Czech Technical University in Prague
Authors: Mervart L. , Čepek A.
Published: March 2021

At the CTU in Prague, there is a long tradition of master degree courses in geodesy, geodetic surveying and cartography. Taking into account the fast development of information technologies in recent decades, we decided to prepare a new study program that would combine computer science with a background of geodetic and cartographic know-how.  Apart from other sources, our plans were inspired and influenced by the Review of Education Needs, a report prepared by Stig Enemark (Prague 1998), and by our experience from several Virtual Academy workshops.We have decided to call this program „Geoinformatics“ to emphasize the role of computer technologies in collecting, analyzing and exploiting information about our planet.  Within this presentation we will explain the basic ideas behind our new study program and emphasize the features that distinguish it from classical geodetic or cartographic programs. We will mention the connection between our new study program and several geodetic and software projects running at our institute - software development for real-time GPS applications, cooperation with the Astronomical Institute, University of Berne, on the development of so-called Bernese GPS Software, the GNU project Gama for adjustment of geodetic networks, etc.
Inklusive Geschichtsdidaktik im Spannungsfeld von Lebenswelt und Wissenschaft - Chancen eines leibphänomenologischen Zugangs
Authors: Völkel Bärbel
Published: March 2021

Bärbel Völkel setzt sich in ihrem Beitrag kritisch mit der Frage auseinander, wie Inklusion sowohl von Menschen mit familiärem Zuwanderungshintergrund wie auch von Menschen mit Komplexen Behinderungen im Unterrichtsfach Geschichte gelingen kann. Sie fordert, dass allen Schüler*innen jenseits von Fähigkeit und Herkunft im Geschichtsunterricht das gleiche Bildungsziel zuzugestehen ist. In Anlehnung an den Fähigkeitenansatz von Martha Nussbaum formuliert sie für den Geschichtsunterricht als ein solches den Schwellenwert Zukunft erwarten können. Damit verbunden ist ein neues Menschenbild, das jeden Menschen aufgrund seiner Leiblichkeit immer schon als einen (handlungs-)fähigen Menschen anzuerkennen vermag. Das Unterrichtsfach Geschichte muss von daher neu definiert werden.
San Giuseppe il modello della partecipazione nell’Eucaristia
Authors: Kwiatkowski Dariusz
Published: March 2021

Pope John Paul II in the encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia called Mary a ‘Woman of the Eucharist’. He pointed out the attitudes that can be described as Eucharistic. This article, using the principle of analogy and maintaining an appropriate balance, shows St. Joseph as a model of the Eucharistic ap- proach of every Christian. The life of Saint Joseph was characterized by deep faith and love for God and man, the ability to hear and receive the word of God and the constant willingness to sacrifice his life in order to be able to fulfill the will of God. All these qualities are needed to participate in the Eucharist in a conscious and active way. These attitudes result from participation in the Eucharist and should shape the life of every Christian. In addition, it should be emphasized that the Church introduced the name of St. Joseph to the Eucharistic prayers and ordered it to be mentioned immediately after Mary. Placing the name of St. Joseph in the most important prayer of the Holy Mass, introduces him to the heart of the Eucharist.

Efficient streaming subgraph isomorphism with graph neural networks
Authors: Duong Chi Thang , Hoang Trung Dung , Yin Hongzhi , Weidlich Matthias , Nguyen Quoc Viet Hung , Aberer Karl
Published: March 2021

Queries to detect isomorphic subgraphs are important in graph-based data management. While the problem of subgraph isomorphism search has received considerable attention for the static setting of a single query, or a batch thereof, existing approaches do not scale to a dynamic setting of a continuous stream of queries. In this paper, we address the scalability challenges induced by a stream of subgraph isomorphism queries by caching and re-use of previous results. We first present a novel subgraph index based on graph embeddings that serves as the foundation for efficient stream processing. It enables not only effective caching and re-use of results, but also speeds-up traditional algorithms for subgraph isomorphism in case of cache misses. Moreover, we propose cache management policies that incorporate notions of reusability of query results. Experiments using real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in handling isomorphic subgraph search for streams of queries.
DBTagger

Published: March 2021

Translating Natural Language Queries (NLQs) to Structured Query Language (SQL) in interfaces deployed in relational databases is a challenging task, which has been widely studied in database community recently. Conventional rule based systems utilize series of solutions as a pipeline to deal with each step of this task, namely stop word filtering, tokenization, stemming/lemmatization, parsing, tagging, and translation. Recent works have mostly focused on the translation step overlooking the earlier steps by using adhoc solutions. In the pipeline, one of the most critical and challenging problems is keyword mapping; constructing a mapping between tokens in the query and relational database elements (tables, attributes, values, etc.). We define the keyword mapping problem as a sequence tagging problem, and propose a novel deep learning based supervised approach that utilizes POS tags of NLQs. Our proposed approach, called
DBTagger
(DataBase Tagger), is an end-to-end and schema independent solution, which makes it practical for various relational databases. We evaluate our approach on eight different datasets, and report new state-of-the-art accuracy results, 92.4% on the average. Our results also indicate that DBTagger is faster than its counterparts up to 10000 times and scalable for bigger databases.
Fictional names, their use and pragmatic interpretations
Authors: Puczyłowski Tomasz
Published: March 2021

The aim of the paper is to defend the view according to which all simple fictional sentences are meaningless. If their assertions seem to convey some truth evaluable information, and fictional sentences themselves seem to be true or false, it is because some pragmatic mechanisms are operative, enabling the expression of propositions not encoded in the semantic content of these sentences. According to some theorists, the mechanisms responsible for that process are the same as those responsible for generating conversational implicatures. I argue against that claim and maintain that to comprehend the information conveyed by a fictional assertion, one must determine what kind of fictional assertion it is and only then apply the relevant interpretative rule adjusted to the fictional sentence used in that act.
Esp. (y gall.-ptg.) buscar: una aproximación etimológica apoyada en los datos panrománicos
Authors: Georgescu Simona
Published: March 2021

A Pan-Romance analysis of Sp. buscar ~ provides sufficient data to reconstruct a Proto-Romance etymon */ˈbʊsk-a-/ ~ */ˈbusk-a-/ (assigned to Italo-Occidental continental Proto-Romance), whose meaning can be reconstructed as ‘to go into the forest’ (with various purposes). Although the meaning ‘to look for’ seems to be restricted to Ibero-Romance buscar, the other Romance reflexes show strong links with this semantic area. A considerable number of Gallo-Romance and Italo-Romance verbs carry the meanings ‘to hide’ as well as the opposite, ‘to chase (someone) from their refuge’, ‘un-cover’, and therefore, ‘dis-cover’. It is also possible to recover traces of a specialized use related to hunting outsides the boundaries of Ibero-Romance.
The possessive enclitics with kinship nouns in Italo-Romance and the possessive determiners in the Francoprovençal of Faeto
Authors: Russo Michela
Published: March 2021

This paper deals with the possessive constructions in Italo-Romance dialects compared with the possessive constructions of one Francoprovençal (Gallo-Romance) variety spoken in Faeto (Foggia, Apulia). Francoprovençal possessive constructions are at a first glance distinct from Central and Southern Italian possessive constructions, mainly since in Francoprovençal (as in French) possessive forms (clitics) are prenominal. In Central and Southern Italian dialects, we find instead a split possession: 1) postnominal enclitic possessives (weak possessive markers) associated with parental kinship nouns distinct from 2) prenominal possessives associated with common nouns and postnominal strong possessive forms. Crucially, I claim that enclitic possessives are inflexional affixes, that receive a structural word-internal linearization from the same external (syntactical) linearization identified for proclitic possessive markers (in Faeto). I retain that the distinction between postnominal weak enclitics in Italian dialects and Francoprovençal weak prenominal possessive constructions is based on the inalienability (parental kin nouns + enclitics in DP). All possessive clitics (proclitics and enclitics) show a common syntactic configuration and differ only in Distributed Morphology, according to a “late” feature insertion and operations after syntax. Indeed, the possessive determiners represent three different morphological spells out of the same syntactic object: the bundle of features [Person], [(Gender) Number], [Definite], generated in functional heads.

Construction Waste as a Resource in a Sustainable Built Environment
Authors: Zbašnik-Senegačnik Martina , Koprivec Ljudmila
Published: March 2021

The built environment requires ever-increasing amounts of raw material resources and at the same time bears the responsibility for the resulting waste. Waste is generated throughout the life cycle. In the initial phases it is referred to as industrial waste, while during construction, reconstruction, and demolition it is called construction waste. Construction waste is most voluminous but it also has a great potential in circular economy that aims at the closed loop cycle where already used construction materials and components are recovered as raw materials. Sustainable building principles include four basic strategies, waste avoidance, construction materials and components re-use, continued use, and recycling. The possibility of construction waste treatment and its possible recovery in the building process depends on the type of prevailing materials that are contained in building elements as well as on detachability, separability and inseparability of structural joints and components. The architect plays a responsible role in decreasing the volume of construction waste as the conception of a building represents the key factor in sustainable construction waste management. Planning a construction with a good dismantling potential at the end of the building’s life cycle includes a number of factors such as the choice of building materials with a low environmental impact, the design of detachable composite materials and structures as well as the design of mono material structures. This article focuses on waste resulting from the built environment and discusses architectural concepts with a potential of reducing the volume of construction waste and its potential recovery as a construction resource.

Exploring Political Bias in Captured Media: The Study of Local Press in Lithuania Using Computational Content Analysis Methods
Authors: Ramonaitė Ainė , Vaiginytė Adelė
Published: March 2021

The article presents an exploratory study of regional media content in Lithuania, carried out using computational content analysis methods. The aim of the study is to reveal the effects of media capture on media content. More specifically, it analyses if and how local government’s control over regional mass media leads to media bias. In addition, the research aims to test the methods of automatic content analysis for the texts in Lithuanian language. The article focuses on two local newspapers known for close relationships with local governments – Druskininkai newspaper “Mano Druskininkai” and Širvintos newspaper “Širvintų kraštas”. For comparative purposes, the local newspapers of four additional municipalities (Utena, Šilutė, Birštonas and Biržai) are added to the analysis. The data revealed two different mechanisms for consolidating political power through the politically controlled media: in one newspaper, the dominant technique is the promotion of the mayor as a person, while in the other it is the attack of political opponents.
Relevance of Representative Bureaucracy in Municipality Administration in the Republic of Lithuania
Authors: Mikalauskas Arvydas
Published: March 2021

The concept of representative bureaucracy is based on the significance of representativeness of bureaucracy: its sensitivity to the public interest is directly related to representativeness of public sector servants. This article clarifies the concept of representative bureaucracy as an approach that enables one to diagnose problems in the Lithuanian civil service human resources management and presents possible solutions. Primary focus is on the aspects of trust in civil servants and gender representation in the public service. Research into representative bureaucracy has highlighted the issues of human resource management that need to be addressed in municipality administration in Lithuania. The principles of representative bureaucracy are also relevant to local autonomy because of both, the possibility to involve residents into handling administrative issues (via active communication of civil servants) and efficiency of bureaucracy itself.
Protection of Road Safety and Proper Functioning of the Road Haulage Market (Case Study)
Authors: Stefanicki Robert
Published: March 2021

The article is about an important issue of regulating the minimum cost of production and, consequently, prices for the representation of entrepreneurs (associations) with reference to the requirements of road safety. These issues are often the subject of the case law at the Court of Justice at the level of the implementation of the rules governing competition. Recently the question was settled under a preliminary ruling concerned the requirements of Italian law, which, in the name of road safety protection, does not allow to offer prices lower than those benefits rigid minimum rates set by the service provider. The issues that are contrary to a competitive market, price-fixing agreements, are no strangers in different Member States, as exemplified by the findings of the national organization representing independent professionals. The question remains whether those situations are best remedied at the pace of the case law at the Court of Justice or whether there is a need for European Union legislation on the matter in the circumstances where transport contributes to the competitiveness of Europe. There is an interdependence between transport, environment, innovation and social as well as economic policies. The effort invested in this research translated into awareness of the complexity of the subject matter and – the author would encourage – possibilities for further exploration (which would require separate in-depth studies).

Published: March 2021

Traditional fibre push-outs for the evaluation of interfacial properties in long fibre ceramic matrix composites present their limitations—solutions for which are addressed in this work by introducing the novel trench push-out test. The trench push-out makes use of a FIB milling system and an SEM in-situ nanoindenter to probe a fibre pushed into a trench underneath, allowing in-situ observations to be directly correlated with micromechanical events. SiCf/BN/SiC composites—candidate material for turbine engines—were used as model materials in this work. Different fibre types (Hi-Nicalon and Tyranno type SA3) were coated with BN interphases, presenting mean interfacial shear stresses of 14 ± 7 MPa and 20 ± 2 MPa, respectively, during fibre sliding. The micromechanical technique enabled visualisation of how defects in the interphase (voids, inclusions & milled notches) or in the fibre (surface asperities, non-uniform coatings) affected the variability of interfacial property measurement.

Digitalization of Education During the Pandemic Period: Social Challenges and Risks
Authors: Pluzhnikova Natalia
Published: March 2021

The article analyses the digitalization process of education during the pandemic. Thepandemic has accelerated the digitalization process of education and has shown both positive and negative aspects. The key digitalization strategies of education are noted, the specifics of the digitalization model of education are considered. For a more complete consideration of the digitalization process of education, the author uses the analysis of its socio-economic context, represented by the digital economy. The author considers the digitalization of education as the result of a natural process of the digital economy development, where the key factor is not the subject, but digital services. The digital economy is a complex super-system formed by network interactions and feedbacks of its constituent elements. The key characteristic of the development of this super-system is the formal elimination of the subject as an active participant in real economic relations, which leads to alienated forms of human existence. The author examines the manifestation of these alienated forms on the example of distance learning during the pandemic, as well as the impact of information and communication technologies on human thinking and behaviour. The result of this process is a socio-anthropological crisis, which actualizes the social challenges and risks of education digitalization. The author highlights the wide access to educational services, flexibility and high speed of human adaptation to information and communication technologies as positive aspects of the digitalization process of education. The negative side of the digitalization of education is, according to the author, excessive formalization of the educational and training process, which significantly affects the content of educational material, as well as motivational factors for learning and teaching. Based on the results of the study, the author gives forecasts for the future development of the digitalization of education.

Mass Distance Learning as a Global Social Experiment to Divide People
Authors: Makarov Andrey
Published: March 2021

The article analyzes the problems of education that have worsened during the crisis associated with the pandemic. This is a large complex of problems that threaten not only the development, but also the existence of the education system in Russia. These are methodological problems: the lack of methods and the necessary material and technical base for the implementation of the distance format of mass education. The problems of forming the motivational potential of participants in the educational process, which is very relevant in the conditions of the beginning of the degradation of the education system under the pressure of its bureaucratization. This is a problem of increasing the volume of independent work of students and schoolchildren, which is not provided for by the methods of full-time education. The author draws on Nassim Taleb's concept of "the dictatorship of the small minority". Nassim Taleb claims that the theory of "the dictatorship of the small minority" is quite applicable to such a social institution as science. The minority dictatorship promotes the expanded accelerated digitalization of the education system. This entails stimulating the transformation of society, the transition from an individualized society to a dividualized society. Distance learning should be only a part of education and should be introduced very carefully at the last stages of higher education and in the system of additional education. This thesis is proved in this article. The author concludes that ignoring the problems discussed in the article can lead to a catastrophe of the education system in Russia.

Published: March 2021

High-intensity interval and medium-intensity cyclic exercises have proved themselves as non-pharmacological agents for the treatment and prevention of hypertension.Aim. To compare adherence to aerobic physical rehabilitation methods among hypertensive heavyweight-class strength athletes.Material and methods. We surveyed 83 heavyweight-class bodybuilders (candidates for master of sports and master of sports). The mean age of participants was 31 years. Athletes were randomized into two main rehabilitation groups: the HIIT group (n=33), the MICE group (n=30), and the RT control group (n=20). A modified questionnaire on adherence to physical activity was used for hypertensive strength athletes. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistica 10.0/W RUS software package.Results. At the beginning, adherence of control group participants was “moderate” and amounted to 7,8±0,8 points, while after 30 days it increased insignificantly to 8,2±0,5 points, after another 60 days decreased by 0,3 points and the next 4 month did not change. After 30 days, there was an increase in adherence to aerobic exercise in other rehabilitation groups: 8,4±0,5 and 8,2±0,6 points in the HIIT and MICE groups, respectively. After 60 days, the changes were not statistically significant. After 90 days, adherence in the HIIT group was 8,5±0,5 points, while in the MICE group it significantly decreased to 7,5±0,6 points. After 120 days, there was no change in the HIIT group, while in the MICE group, adherence continued to decrease to 7,1±0,6 points. After 150 days, there was a 0,5 point decrease in the HIIT group and 6,7±0,5 points in the MICE group. After 180 days, there was an insignificant decrease in the HIIT group by 0,2 points, while in the MICE group, adherence became “low” and amounted to 6,2±0,4 points.Conclusion. Exercise programs based on HIIT protocols allow hypertensive strength athletes to maintain greater adherence to nonspecific aerobic exercise over 180 days compared to MICE protocols, which may provide additional benefits in lowering blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular disease.

Published: March 2021

Improving organizational approaches of medical rehabilitation is one of the important directions in Russian healthcare system.Aim. To determine the age-specific rates of adult population requirements in outpatient medical rehabilitation in Russia.Material and methods. The article provides data on the estimated age-specific rates of population requirements in outpatient medical rehabilitation, determined by expected attendance of a rehabilitation physician by classes of diseases and individual diseases according to the ICD-10 codes. For the study, the adult population was divided into 6 age groups (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and older). Medical experts, taking into account the stage of the disease and the severity of the patient’s condition, have developed indications for outpatient medical rehabilitation immediately after the treatment of acute conditions, exacerbation of chronic diseases, the consequences of injuries and operations. And also the type of rehabilitation (inpatient or outpatient) was determined. Taking into account these indications, competent experts decided on the need and duration of further medical rehabilitation of patients after hospitalization.Results. The age-specific rates of population requirements in outpatient medical rehabilitation were determined and analyzed. The number of visits to a rehabilitation physician was calculated according to the main classes and some individual diseases. The largest number of persons in need of outpatient medical rehabilitation naturally falls on the older age groups 60-69 years (3917,5 visits per 1000 population) and 70 years and older (4716,9 visits per 1000 population), while the smallest — the patients 18-29 years old (832,2 visits per 1000 population). This is due to the fact that in older age groups the number of diseases requiring outpatient medical rehabilitation both in inpatient and outpatient settings is increasing. In other age groups, the need for medical rehabilitation per 1000 population was as follows: 985,6 visits per year in the 30-39 age group; 1672,0 — in the 40-49 age group; 2713,1 — in the 50-59 age group.Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, the healthcare executive authorities in the subjects of the Russian Federation can calculate the population requirements in outpatient medical rehabilitation in region, taking into account age composition and the estimated number of visits to a rehabilitation physician by the adult population.

Nitrate removal from aqueous solution by way of adsorption on modified sheep wool
Authors: Porubská Mária , Cvik Marcel , Jomová Klaudia , Branišová Zuzana , Braniša Jana
Published: March 2021

Acid modification of sheep wool changed the surface charge from a negative to a positive one as demonstrated by means of zero-charge point determination. The positive surface facilitated the adsorption of nitrate (NO3 −) anions. The amount of nitrates in solution within 20–100 mg/dm3 was determined applying a home-developed ultraviolet spectrometry method. A little more effective modifier was 0.01 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) than the 0.1 M one. In the case of citric acid concentration, the effect was opposite. Wool modified with hydrochloric acid showed higher nitrate adsorption (up to 5 mg/g) compared with the sample modified with citric acid, (up to 1.7 mg/g of nitrate and 3, respectively). Testing eight adsorption isotherm models indicated inhomogeneity of the adsorbed layer from chemical as well as physical aspects. The Freundlich, Temkin and Halsey models fitted best. The study demonstrated that biopolymer modified using a suitable acid has the potential to remove nitrates from an aquatic environment.
Kein Land für Kinder? Westeros aus der Kinderperspektive
Authors: von Holzen Aleta-Amirée , Schrackmann Petra
Published: March 2021

With its complexity and frequent depiction of violence and sexuality, George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series is evidently aimed at an adult readership. Considering its setting in a feudalistic society, it is all the more surprising that many of the point of view characters are children or teenagers who are a priori in a position of powerlessness. This position is even exacerbated for the youngest children of House Stark once the game for the Iron Throne begins. Although they experience violence and have to face dangerous situations, the loss of their home and family is also reminiscent of the step out of the social order which marks the beginning of countless adventure stories and hero’s journeys in literary history. The article shows how Bran, Sansa and Arya Stark are initially subjected to the power and whims of others in a world marked by war, violence and arbitrariness, and how they eventually develop strategies to realise their inherent potential for empowerment in the course of their respective journeys.

Research background. From ancient times plants have been used for medicinal purposes against various ailments. In the modern era, plants are a major source of drugs and are an appealing drug candidate for the anticancer therapeutics against various molecular targets. Here we tested Tamarix articulata methanolic extract of dry leaves for anticancer activity against a panel of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Experimental approach. Cell viability of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was determined by MTT assay after dose-dependent treatment with extract of Tamarix articulata. Phase-contrast microscopy and DAPI staining were performed to analyze cellular and nuclear morphology. Immunoblotting was performed to determine the expression of proteins associated with autophagy, apoptosis, and cell cycle. However, flow cytometry was used for the quantification of apoptotic cells and the analysis of cells in different phases of the cell cycle after treatment with varying doses of Tamarix articulata. Additionally, acridine orange staining and DCFHDA dye were used to analyze the quantification of autophagosomes and reactive oxygen species.

Results and conclusion. Our results demonstrate that Tamarix articulata methanolic extract exhibits promising antiproliferative activity with IC50 values (271±4.38), (298±7.08) and (336±6.11) µg/mL against HepG2, Huh7D12, and Hep3B cell lines, respectively. Mechanistically, we found Tamarix articulata methanolic extract induces cell death by activating apoptosis and autophagy pathways. First, Tamarix articulata methanolic extract promotes autophagy which was confirmed by acridine orange staining. The immunoblotting analysis further confirms that Tamarix articulata methanolic extract consistently induces the conversion of, LC3I to LC3II form with a gradual decrease in expression of autophagy substrate protein p62 at higher doses. Second, Tamarix articulata methanolic extract promotes reactive oxygen species production in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and activates reactive oxygen species-mediated apoptosis. Flow cytometry and immunoblotting analysis showed that Tamarix articulata methanolic extract induces dose-dependent apoptosis and activates proapoptotic proteins caspase-3 and PARP1. Additionally, Tamarix articulata methanolic extract triggers the arrest of the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and upregulates the protein expression of p27/Kip, and p21/Cip, with a decrease in cyclin-D1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Novelty and scientific contribution. The current study demonstrates that Tamarix articulata methanolic extract exhibits promising anticancer potential to kill tumor cells by programmed-cell-death type I and II mechanisms and could be explored for potential drug candidate molecules to curtail cancer in the future.

This study aimed to build up nomogram models to evaluate overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in early-onset esophageal cancer (EOEC). Patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer (EC) from 2004 to 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Clinicopathological characteristics of younger versus older patients were compared, and survival analysis was performed in both groups. Independent related factors influencing the prognosis of EOEC were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox analysis, which were incorporated to construct a nomogram. The predictive capability of the nomogram was estimated by the concordance index (C-index), calibration plot, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). A total of 534 younger and 17,243 older patients were available from the SEER database. Younger patients were randomly segmented into a training set (n=266) and a validation set (n=268). In terms of the training set, the C-index of the OS nomogram was 0.740 (95% CI: 0.707-0.773), and that of the CSS nomogram was 0.752 (95% CI: 0.719-0.785). In view of the validation set, the C-index of OS and CSS were 0.706 (95% CI: 0.671-0.741) and 0.723 (95%CI: 0.690-0.756), respectively. Calibration curves demonstrated the consistent degree of fit between actual and predicted values in nomogram models. From the perspective of DCA, the nomogram models were more beneficial than the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) and the SEER stage for EOEC. In brief, the nomogram model can be considered as an individualized quantitative tool to predict the prognosis of EOEC patients to assist clinicians in making treatment decisions.

Özet
Amaç: Tibianın alt 1/3 lük kısmında gelişen kırıklarda kaynamama sık karşılaşılan bir problemdir. Bu durumua ince yumuşak doku örtüsü ve zayıf kanlanma gibi durumlar sebep olurlar. Ayrıca ayak bileğine yakınlık ve kısa distal segment gibi mekanik problemler kaynamama probleminin tedavisini oldukça
güçleştirir. İntramedüller çivileme, bu soruna güçlü bir çözüm sunar. Çünkü geniş diseksiyona gerek kalmaz ve implant intraosseöz kalarak yumuşak dokular için minimum problem oluşturur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tibianın alt 1/3 lük kısmındaki kırıklarda gelişmiş olan kaynama kusurlarının tedavisinde oyulmuş
intramedüller çivinin etkinliğini belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tibia alt 1/3’lük bölge kırığı sonrasında kaynamama gelişen ve sonrasında oymalı intramedüller çivi ile tedavi edilen 14 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Çalışmaya tibia 1/3 distalindeki kırığı kaynamayan ve aktif enfeksiyon bulgusu olmayan tüm hastalar dahil edildi. İki hastada
ilk operasyon sonrası ortaya çıkan yüzeysel enfeksiyon öyküsü vardı, ancak ameliyat sırasında hiçbir
hastada aktif enfeksiyon belirtisi yoktu. Tüm hastalar oymalı kilitli intramedüller çivileme ile tedavi edildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların hepsinde kaynama elde edildi. Ortalama kaynama süresi 5.7 (3-10) ay idi. Hiçbir hastada enfeksiyon gelişmedi.
Sonuç: Oymalı kilitli intramedüller çivileme, tibianın alt 1/3’lük bölgesinde görülen ve tedavisi oldukça güç olan kaynamamaların tedavisinde gayet güvenilir bir yöntemdir.

Published: March 2021

En el presente artículo se analizan las condiciones especiales de desigualdad que atraviesan las mujeres privadas de la libertad en Colombia después de identificar cómo la discriminación en razón de su género está presente en las causas de la delincuencia femenina. Dicho análisis se hace en un contexto de crisis del Sistema Penitenciario y Carcelario en Colombia, del cual se predica un estado de cosas inconstitucional desde la emisión de las sentencias T- 388 de 2013 y T-762 de 2015 por parte de la Corte Constitucional. De acuerdo con lo anterior, el presente trabajo tiene como fin fundamentar la necesidad de implementar, en el proceso de seguimiento para la superación de la crisis penitenciaria y carcelaria del país, un enfoque diferencial de género que permita el restablecimiento y garantía de los derechos de la población femenina recluida en Colombia
Courts of Accounts go to prison: administration of public resources in securing prisoners’ rights
Authors: Cutrupi Ferreira Carolina
Published: March 2021

In the last decade, Brazil’s Federal Supreme Court has tried several cases that structurally affected Brazil’s prison system. The paradigmatic judgement is the declaration of an unconstitutional state of affairs in the face of the generalized and systemic violation of the fundamental rights of prisoners in 2015. The declaration triggered a variety of actions from different agencies and authorities to assess, intervene and call for accountability for the repeated inability to modify the conditions of prisons. This paper will deal with the recommendations from audit reports issued by financial and budget control agencies and aims to analyze how these conclusions are inserted in the process of declaring an “unconstitutional state of affairs” of Brazil’s prison system. This study concludes that control agencies have a relevant role in the creation of a standard to assess the rights of prisoners, through minimum indicators of efficiency and administration that allow for an assessment of progress and regression in securing these rights. This article contributes to the existing literature that analyzes the judicialization processes of penitentiary matters, to the debate on the minimum information needed to secure the human dignity of prisoners and to the reflection on integrated solutions among different stakeholders.
