Foam Rolling and Muscle and Joint Proprioception After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
Authors: Naderi Aynollah , Rezvani Mohammad Hossein , Degens Hans
Published: December 2019

Context

Foam rolling (FR) is considered an effective postexercise modality for reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness and enhancing recovery of muscle function. However, the effects of FR on muscle and joint proprioception have not been investigated.

Objective

To examine the effects of FR on muscle and joint proprioception after an intense exercise protocol.

Design

Controlled laboratory study.

Setting

University-based laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 80 healthy, physically active male students were randomly assigned to either the FR (n = 40; age = 22.8 ± 3.3 years, height = 176.4 ± 5.3 cm, mass = 74.2 ± 6.4 kg) or passive-recovery (PR; n = 40; age = 23.0 ± 3.2 years, height = 178.1 ± 5.5 cm, mass = 74.6 ± 6.2 kg) group.

Intervention(s)

Participants in both groups performed 4 sets of 25 repetitions of voluntary maximal eccentric contractions at 60°/s from 20° to 100° of knee flexion to induce exercise-induced muscle damage. The exercise was followed by either PR or 2 minutes of FR immediately (1 hour) and 24, 48, and 72 hours postexercise.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Muscle soreness, pressure-pain threshold, quadriceps-muscle strength, joint position sense, isometric force sense, and threshold to detect passive movement at baseline and immediately, 24, 48, and 72 hours postexercise after FR.

Results

Foam rolling resulted in decreased muscle pain, increased pressure-pain threshold, improved joint position sense, attenuated force loss, and reduced threshold to detect passive movement compared with PR at 24 and 48 hours postexercise.

Conclusions

Foam rolling postexercise diminished delayed-onset muscle soreness and improved recovery of muscle strength and joint proprioception. These results suggested that FR enhanced recovery from exercise-induced damage.

An 82-year-old male was admitted. Pancytopenia, a slightly low white blood cell count (3400/μL), and low levels of red blood cells (2.65 × 106/μL), hemoglobin (10.4 g/dL), and platelets (118,000/μL) were observed. Bone marrow aspiration was performed, revealing hypocellular bone marrow and normal blast levels (0.6%) with no dysplasia. G-banding chromosome analysis revealed the karyotype 45,X,-Y[3]/45, idem, t(10;18)(q26;q21)[13]/46,XY[4]. The patient was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassified (MDS–U). This is the first case report demonstrating a patient with the chromosomal translocation, t(14;18)(q32;q21), which is extremely rare. This chromosomal aberration was critical for the diagnosis of MDS in this patient.

Published: December 2019

CONTEXT: Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the liver is a rare, tumor-like lesion that is considered to be biologically benign but often mimics malignancy.

AIMS: The aim of the study was construe clinicopathological features, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, management, and follow-up of IPT involving the liver.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN: It is a retrospective study.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Cases included were of IPT, diagnosed on histopathology, at our center from June 2009 to December 2016. Details studied were clinical presentation, imaging studies, laboratory investigations, pathological features, treatment, and follow-up of the cases and compared with reports in the literature.

RESULTS: A total of cases of IPT included were 17. The age of the patients ranged from 21 to 62 years. Common presenting features were intermittent fever, upper abdominal pain, and weight loss. Radiological diagnosis varied from neoplastic (13) to infectious etiologies (4), with hepatocellular carcinoma being the most common differential (7/17). Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis, hyperbilirubinemia, raised transaminases, and raised serum alkaline phosphatase. Core biopsy of a tumor conceded increased fibrosis along with mixed inflammatory cell infiltrates. Eleven cases were managed conservatively and showed regression or complete recovery. Six patients underwent surgical resection. None of these had any recurrence in median follow-up of 22 months.

CONCLUSIONS: IPT of the liver can masquerade as a fatality, either primary or metastatic. It will be well managed with conservative modalities and can avoid redundant hepatectomy, reserved for complicated cases. For this intent, accurate preoperative diagnosis is the requisite, and needle biopsy with or without fine-needle aspiration cytology plays as a significant rescuer in this field.

A compreensão dos gestores de Escolas Municipais Rurais de Londrina sobre a atuação de Assistentes Sociais na área da Educação
Authors: Silva Claudia Neves da , Oliveira Flávia Silva de
Published: December 2019

A escola é uma instituição em que se manifesta cotidianamente uma multiplicidade de situações vividas e trazidas por estudantes, docentes e familiares, como disputas, conflitos, amizades, angústias, fruto das condições materiais e subjetivas dos sujeitos. A partir desta constatação, surgiu o interesse de conhecer o ponto de vista dos gestores quanto à possibilidade de atuação do Serviço Social em uma instituição escolar, particularmente de instituições localizadas em 2 (dois) distritos rurais do Município de Londrina, com a finalidade de construir uma metodologia de intervenção a partir de suas expectativas. Assim, entre os anos de 2016 e 2018 foram feitas visitas às escolas públicas municipais localizadas nos distritos rurais e entrevistas com 4 (quatro) gestores dessas escolas, para atender a uma das etapas do Projeto de Extensão Serviço Social na área da Educação, vinculado ao Departamento de Serviço Social da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o resultado das entrevistas e a proposta de uma metodologia de intervenção do Serviço Social em escolas localizadas em regiões rurais.
Contribuições da pedagogia socialista para a educação da infância no Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra
Authors: Conde Soraya Franzoni , Costa Maicon Jackson
Published: December 2019

A discussão sobre a concepção de educação e de educação infantil orientada pelos pressupostos educacionais socialistas influencia as práticas e produções teóricas que o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) desenvolveu em suas três décadas de existência. Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre as contribuições da Pedagogia Socialista para a concepção de educação infantil do MST e, para isso, apresenta convergências entre a concepção de infância e de educação dos autores da Pedagogia Socialista e a proposta educativa para a educação infantil do MST. Para tal, adota como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, com a revisão dos autores precursores da concepção moderna de infância (ARIÈS, 1981; POSTMAN, 1999; MELLO, 2007; KLEIN 2009), da Pedagogia Socialista (SUSCHUDOSLSKI, 1978; PISTRAK, 2000, 2009; SHUGIN, 2013; FREITAS, 2017) e a concepção do MST para a educação de crianças (CALDART, 2000; MST, 2004, 2005; DALMAGRO, 2010). Dentre as principais conclusões, destacamos que as bibliografias revisadas entendem a criança e a sua educação como produtos das relações sociais historicamente construídas. A criança, embora tenha funções psicológicas distintas das dos adultos, está inserida na mesma sociedade, por isso é ilusória a tentativa de separá-la das relações de produção e reprodução da vida social concreta.

Published: December 2019

Neste artigo apresentaremos e discutiremos alguns pensares do traduzir na e a China que nos conduzam à proposição de uma “poética do traduzir na China” e de uma “poética de traduzir a China”. Para cumprir este objetivo, traçaremos um breve panorama das perspectivas históricas e filosóficas das línguas chinesas e da literatura na China, bem como a visão de autores, tradutores e acadêmicos chineses e brasileiros sobre traduzir literatura da ou para a China. Iniciaremos nossa discussão com uma contextualização sobre a necessidade de (re)considerar as noções de língua, literatura e tradução nos tempo-espaços e espaços-geográficos da civilização chinesa para, em seguida, discorrer sobre a aplicação das noções de chinesidade (Yang Lian), traduto(meio)logia e traição criativa (Xie Tianzhen), paralaxe tradutória (Jatobá) e, ainda, da metáfora do Taotie (Ricardo Portugal), como alternativas para propor uma “poética do traduzir a, na e para a China”.

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma proposta de tradução do poema “A Montezuma” do poeta e teólogo camaronês Engelbert Mveng (1930-1995) e contextualizar, em seguida, dois aspectos da teologia de Mveng que se fazem notar no poema: o debate, por um lado, sobrea inculturação da mensagem católica no contexto africano, por outro, a ética cristã que Mveng faz recuar à compreensão das preces africanas como berço de um monoteísmo “transcendente e absoluto”.
'Phōtós': Ensayo sobre la luz y la imagen
Authors: Torres Sánchez Rayiv David
Published: December 2019

¿Cómo recordar una imagen? ¿Cuál es la naturaleza de ese resto superviviente que hace posible el contacto entre las imágenes y sus “fuentes originarias”? ¿Cómo nos asiste la aparición de lo que ya no puede ser visto? A lo largo de esta exposición se interrogará acerca de la manera en que los sistemas de pensamiento han estado en relación con un fundamento óptico, heliocéntrico, que reclama la “verdad iluminada” bajo la garantía de la luz y “a la medida del ojo”. Pero se verá que este sería también el riesgo de una incandescencia que a lo largo de la historia del pensamiento occidental implica que se la saque de esa falta de definición y de reserva, de ese aislamiento y de esa extrañeza que preserva para sí todo lo que pueda ser puesto cabalmente al descubierto para preservarlo de una incineración lustral. Este sería el caso de una “expresión original” de la imaginación a través de las imágenes, para hablar no sólo de un vacío neutro y fundante, sino también, de la mezcla de las distintas fuentes de semejanza y desemejanza, la apariencia y lo bello, los sueños y la fascinación.
El tedio crónico en el sujeto contemporáneo. Estudio del 'ennui' en 'La grande bellezza' (Paolo Sorrentino, 2013)
Authors: Mendieta Rodríguez Elios
Published: December 2019

Este artículo busca una aproximación al tema del ennui o tedio crónico en la contemporaneidad y, para ello, utiliza como modelo a Jep Gambardella, personaje protagonista de la película La grande bellezza (La gran belleza, 2013), dirigida por el italiano Paolo Sorrentino. En primer lugar, se realiza un repaso teórico e histórico del ennui. Posteriormente, y antes de entrar en el análisis del personaje de la citada película, abordo el trabajo de creadores como Ennio Flaiano, Michelangelo Antonioni o Jean Luc Godard, cuyos personajes –constantemente aburridos, apáticos y hastiados– han servido como referente imprescindible en el trabajo de Sorrentino. Por último, hago una actualización del taedium vitae en la contemporaneidad.
La identidad docente en los discursos periodísticos sobre los profesores en Chile
Authors: Cabalin Cristian , Montero Loreto , Cárdenas Neira Camila
Published: December 2019

A partir de la noción de la nueva gobernanza en educación, el artículo analiza los editoriales publicados por los diarios El Mercurio y La Tercera, como parte del contexto de influencia en el que se discutió el nuevo proyecto de carrera docente en Chile. A través del Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD), identificamos el uso de estrategias lingüísticas como la generalización e impersonalización de actores, y la autorización basada en el discurso experto, como formas de deslegitimar el rol jugado por el Colegio de Profesores en la discusión del proyecto. También identificamos la concepción de un tipo de profesor ideal, caracterizado por su docilidad, su disposición a evaluarse constantemente y su carácter apolítico.
El papel de los medios en la comunicación de la Política Pública de la Estrategia Nacional de Educación Financiera en Chile
Authors: Montoya Ramos Carlos
Published: December 2019

La educación financiera se está abordando en Chile como una política pública de Estado, con lineamientos, acciones, público objetivo y un horizonte temporal determinado. Sin embargo, pese a encontrarse, por ya casi dos años, en un estado de implementación y ejecución, no ha podido detectarse algún tipo de impacto concreto en la población. Uno de los indicadores clave es la cifra de sobreendeudamiento y morosidad en el país, la que solo ha registrado incrementos en los últimos años. Esta investigación propone que el problema de la ineficacia de la política pública de fomento a la educación financiera en Chile, radica en que carece de una clara y definida estrategia de difusión enfocada en los medios de comunicación, quienes son los que finalmente permitirían establecer la temática en la opinión pública.
Relaciones laborales neoliberales: la 'subordinación ultra-contractual'
Authors: Salazar Martínez de Iturrate Peio
Published: December 2019

El neoliberalismo ha introducido nuevas condiciones económicas, políticas y legales que adulteran de forma significativa la relación laboral, sobre todo en un aspecto esencial de la vinculación entre empleador/a y trabajador/a que a menudo es ignorada: la relación de poder existente entre ambas partes. Si durante el modelo social-demócrata la clase trabajadora disfrutó de una mejor posición de fuerza frente al capital, con el modelo neoliberal se han reintroducido factores (desempleo, precariedad y bajos salarios) que acentúan la debilidad de la clase trabajadora frente al capital. Surge así una forma de vulnerabilidad (miedo a perder el empleo) que el empleador puede utilizar activamente para arrancar un plus de subordinación al empleado, presionándolo para que asuma una subordinación que va más allá de la pactada en el contrato de trabajo.
Modeling the Cost of Technology Transfer and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Jude Dieli Onochie , Kato Mika , Osho Gbolahan S. , Cleveland Stiff
Published: December 2019

This research studies the effects of wireless mobile phone technology on technology transfer and economic growth, and its distributional consequence in Nigeria. After deregulation of telecom industry, wireless technology has become widely available in Nigeria  The current study argues that the availability of wireless technology helps to reduce the cost of learning and implementing world technology frontier and thus that it promotes smoother transfer of technology from technologically-advanced countries to Nigeria and brings significant growth in the economy. Using a multi-sector Schumpeterian growth model, thus, it explains the relationship between the cost of technology transfer and economic growth. The model generates two equilibria where the low equilibrium has zero growth. This study shows that a group with low cost of technology transfer is likely to achieve the high growth equilibrium while a group with high cost of technology transfer is likely to achieve the low growth equilibrium. Using the industry-level and the state-level data, the study found that the availability of wireless technology increased transfer of technology measured by the volume of imports and spurred growth in Nigeria. Moreover, the research found that the benefit of the wireless technology is greater for lower income groups and thus the technology helped to reduce distributional inequality of economic benefit.

Authors: W. Tangkham
Published: December 2019

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) contains high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and anticarcinogenic properties with associated to health-promoting. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of four cooking methods on the sensory, chemical, and microbial characteristics of broccoli. The following cooking methods: 1) control (fresh broccoli), 2) steaming, 3) boiling and 4) baking were replicated three times. Treatments were analyzed for sensory evaluation, pH value, % moisture content, water activity (Aw), color (L*, a*, b*), aerobic plate counts, E. coli and S. aureus. Steamed broccoli had the highest score (P<0.05) of overall rating (6.45) for sensory testing (n = 140) and enhanced green color (a* = -11.49). The initial moisture content of broccoli in this experiment ranged from 79.09 to 91.78%. Baked broccoli obtained the lowest (P<0.05) moisture content (79.09%), pH value (6.13) and aerobic plate counts (1.24 Log CFU/g). No E. coli and S. aureus were found in this study.
Corrientes epistemológicas y la construcción del conocimiento universitario en las Ingenierías
Authors: Dicovskiy Riobóo Luis María
Published: December 2019

En este artículo de revisión se hace un breve recorrido por las principales corrientes del conocimiento que han influenciado en la enseñanza universitaria y se trata de responder a dos preguntas ¿cuál es el aporte de las diferentes corrientes epistemológicas para construir conocimiento en la realidad social actual?, ¿qué nos enseña la historia de las principales corrientes filosóficas en las enseñanzas de las ingenierías? Al responder las preguntas, se concluye que, al hacer conocimiento dentro de las ingenierías, coexistimos dentro de varios paradigmas, por un lado, hacemos investigación aplicando el método científico tradicional, pero también nos podemos identificar con la visión de Teoría Crítica, de generar conocimiento comprometido con cambios sociales. Y de manera particular en Nicaragua debemos pasar de una educación bancaria domesticadora a una educación que incorpore la investigación para ayudar a liberarnos de los centros de poder, lo que desde las ingenierías significa construir o adaptar las tecnologías, que, respetando nuestro entorno cultural y ambiental, nos permitan salir del subdesarrollo.

Intramedullary Fixation for Proximal Humeral Fractures
Authors: Sears Benjamin W. , Hatzidakis Armodios M. , Johnston Peter S.
Published: December 2019

Proximal humeral fractures are a commonly encountered injury; however, no consensus has been reached for the ideal treatment. Current surgical fixation options include plate, plate with fibular strut allograft, intramedullary fixation, pinning, suture constructs, and external fixation. Each of these options possesses distinct advantages and disadvantages. With the evolution of implant design, a greater understanding of the mechanisms of failure of fixation, and the ability to preserve fracture biology, the management of proximal humeral fractures with intramedullary fixation has become an accepted treatment option. From a biomechanical perspective, intramedullary fixation may have advantages over laterally based fixation, in particular with fractures associated with significant calcar comminution. The ability to insert the implant from a superior starting point may help preserve vascular supply to the humeral head and tuberosities. With reported outcomes comparable with the aforementioned techniques and an evolving understanding of fracture characteristics and failures of fixation, intramedullary fixation represents an alternative treatment option for proximal humeral fractures with specific fixation and biologic advantages.
Transversal Otolithic Membrane Deflections Evoked by the Linear Accelerations
Authors: Goussev Valeri
Published: December 2019

Considered is the model of the transversal utricle membrane deflections evoked by the linear accelerations. The basic idea underlying this consideration is that the linear accelerations can cause both longitudinal and transversal deformations when acting along the membrane in the buckling way. The real 3D utricle membrane structure was simplified by considering its middle section and evaluating its elastic properties in 2D space. The steady state transversal deflections along the membrane are analytically evaluated and numerically simulated using the 2D elasticity theory. The transversal deflections are found to be more expressive and stronger as compared to the conventional longitudinal deformations. The maxima of longitudinal deformations and transversal deflections are observable in different regions of the utricle membrane. The revealed properties could be used for explanation of the transduction processes in the otolith organ. Based on the implemented modeling approach the new otolithic membrane mechanical properties are discussed and new explanations for the available experimental data are given.

A Educação Quilombola demarca a luta das comunidades quilombolas pelo reconhecimento do Estado e da sociedade enquanto sujeitos de direitos, bem como no avanço para a superação da opressão e expropriação material-simbólica a que foram submetidas historicamente. Após a aprovação das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Escolar Quilombola, em 2012, diversos são os desafios para a sua implementação em realidades concretas, tornando-se necessário desvelar como as comunidades quilombolas, por meio da organização coletiva, vêm encaminhando e articulando a pauta sobre educação quilombola. Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir nos desdobramentos da aprovação das diretrizes educacionais específicas para os quilombos, tomando como análise central as experiências em curso, individuais e coletivas, da comunidade quilombola Colônia do Paiol, localizada no município de Bias Fortes, na Zona da Mata Mineira.
Relações étnico-raciais e formação docente na educação infantil
Authors: Castro Moacir Silva
Published: December 2019

Abordar-se-á concepções de criança e infância, para entendimento sobre a criança pequena no espaço escolar, e lançar-se-á luz sobre a formação docente na perspectiva da educação das relações étnico-raciais no trato pedagógico. As práticas transformadoras da Educação Básica serão alcançadas na medida em que a classe docente for submetida a processos formativos que respondam as demandas latentes. O Brasil, como membro da ONU, ratificou a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos de 1948. E, em 1988, trouxe os princípios desta Declaração à Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil. Nessa perspectiva entende-se também uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais como uma perspectiva da garantia dos direitos humanos, sobretudo em se tratando de reconhecer a dignidade humana e condenar qualquer prática de racismo. Nesse sentido é necessário contribuir para que os docentes sejam capazes de analisar criticamente a realidade social, de modo que estabeleçam relações entre educação, discriminação racial, racismo e direitos humanos.
A Lei 10.639/03 e o PNE 2014-2024 - para ressignificar as relações étnicas
Authors: Oliveira Jorge Alves
Published: December 2019

Este texto objetiva apresentar outra demanda para a efetivação e o avanço da Lei 10.639/03. A pesquisa-estudo, que se desenvolve, enfrenta esse incômodo: Conhecer a história e a cultura, promove outra postura frente a população negra? O enfrentamento do problema, do ponto de vista teórico, é o de identificar como a população negra é acolhida no espaço escolar referenciada pelas metas da educação, PNE 2014-2024. Do ponto de vista prático, o conhecimento transita no “exercício da fala”, promovendo a “reflexão filosófica”. Ainda não há indicadores a serem apresentados, mas é forte o indicativo de que o conhecimento precisa ser ressignificado para ganhar vida, mudando posturas. O entendimento que vem sendo construído é que sem a ressignificação do ato de educar e dos pressupostos que permeiam a educação, a população negra não será contemplada a contento, inviabilizando o espírito da Lei.

Authors: Conceicao Sergio Henrique , De Lemos Hirlana Freitas
Published: December 2019

Reconhecendo a relevância da função do diretor escolar, sua inserção no trabalho coletivo e colaborativo no âmbito das escolas, o presente trabalho de natureza documental e exploratória investigou aspectos acerca do papel do diretor das escolas públicas da rede municipal de Santo Amaro (BA) sob a perspectiva do paradigma multidimensional (SANDER, 1995, 2007). Os resultados da investigação evidenciam relativa adesão aos pressupostos teóricos do paradigma dimensional e o reconhecimento dessas dimensões (econômicas, políticas, pedagógicas e culturais), com prevalência das dimensões política e cultural sobre as demais. Identificou lacuna normativa e ausência de práticas sistematizadas de capacitação e aperfeiçoamento, voltadas ao desenvolvimento do trabalho dos diretores e sua formação em serviço, na perspectiva de efetivação de seu papel institucional no âmbito daquela rede educacional pública e na busca do reconhecimento do propósito pedagógico de suas práticas profissionais.
Língua inglesa no Brasil, reformas educativas e métodos de ensino: aspectos de uma trajetória disciplinar
Authors: Bocca Sofia
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo expõe brevemente a trajetória da língua inglesa como disciplina escolar no Brasil, para que possamos, assim, entender aspectos de sua inserção, suas características e finalidades no decorrer da história de sua inclusão em processos de escolarização. Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica histórica, são expostos também aspectos de reformas ocorridas no âmbito educacional desde sua inserção nos programas e currículos brasileiros, bem como os diferentes métodos e abordagens concebidos para o seu ensino. Dessa forma, podemos observar que, por vezes, essa disciplina recebe importância no ambiente escolar e em outras é desprestigiada. Tudo indica que, mesmo decorrido tanto tempo, o ensino da língua sofre mudanças sutis, mas que não são capazes de causar mudanças efetivas no ensino.

Musculoskeletal disorders and risk factors in string musicians
Authors: Pereira Filho Evadio , Da Silva Junior Raimundo
Published: December 2019

Several workers suffer from musculoskeletal disorders and the situation is even more troubling for musicians, because it is common the musical activity do not be the main source of income. This study evaluated in which extent musculoskeletal disorders and risk factors affect string musicians. Evaluations were performed within groups defined by demographic and behavioural variables. Spearman and Mann-Whitney U tests were applied. A total of 97 string instrumentalists were questioned.  Results indicated that bodily regions most affected were upper limbs and column. In turn, inadequate posture represented the element that most cooperated for the arise of musculoskeletal disjunctions. In general, there was no evidence to indicate that predictors of musculoskeletal disorders were similar or divergent among conglomerates. Musicians constantly suffered with complaints in upper limbs occasioned to maintain inappropriate postures during their activities.

Published: December 2019

The morphometric analysis of the watershed is important to support the development of environmental studies. With the advancement of geotechnologies, Digital Surface Models (MDS), extracted from satellite images and processed in a Geographic Information System environment, have been an important source of data forthe morphometric analysis of basins. This study characterizes watershed morphometry using different MDS. The Pirapozinho river basin was adopted as the object of study. The findings of this work reveal a low propensity to flood the basin under analysis. Also, we note that there may be variations in the morphometric parameters according to the MDS used, even though they are models of the same spatial resolution.

Parathyroid Scintigraphy
Authors: Dimitrova Botushanova Albena , Petrov Botushanov Nikolay
Published: December 2019

The visualization of abnormal parathyroid glands is difficult due to their variations in number and localization. Noninvasive parathyroid imaging studies include 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy, ultrasonography, computed tomography scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography. There is a general consensus that the most sensitive and specific imaging modality, especially when it is combined with single-photon emission CT is the scintigraphy with 99mTc-sestamibi or 99mTc-tetrofosmin. 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy significantly increases the role of preoperative scintigraphy in patients with hyperparathyroidism and allows unilateral surgical approach with minimally invasive parathyroidectomy to be used. Generally, three protocols with the use of two radiopharmaceuticals, 99mTc-sestamibi or 99mTc-tetrofosmin, are most widely applied: single-phase dual-isotope subtraction, dual-phase single-isotope and combination of both. Each one of them has specific advantages and disadvantages. While single parathyroid adenomas are localized with greater precision, hyperfunctioning parathyroid hyperplastic cells represent a real challenge to the imaging modalities. Several factors can influence the radionuclide uptake in pathologically changed parathyroid cells, like the size, the level of their functional activity, the quantity of oxyphilic cells, mitochondria, P glycoprotein and other MDR gene products.

Lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition that impairs the quality of life and the working capacities of many middle-aged people. Conservative treatments offer an opportunity for improvement in the majority of cases. Surgical alternatives can be considered in those patients with persisting pain. Open, arthroscopic and percutaneous extensor tendon procedures offer similar results with 10–20% failure rates. Radiofrequency microtenotomies have been introduced with comparable results to traditional surgical procedures. Although both thermal and pulsed radiofrequency techniques have been applied, there is more experience with the thermal. In the past, thermal radiofrequency has been applied through a 3–5 cm skin incision, but now some researchers have reported its percutaneous application with radiofrequency cannulas. The results are similar to former techniques but with significantly reduced surgical aggressiveness that correlates with less postoperative discomfort and a faster recovery.

In the literature, little attention has been paid to the specific impact of child-related versus adult-related inter-parental conflicts on children’s intrapersonal processes and adjustment. Aimed to advance knowledge on this topic, the cross-sectional study explores: 1) the predictive effects of the two forms of inter-parental conflicts on: a) children’s internalizing/externalizing behaviors and b) children’s cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation; 2) the mediating role of children’s cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation, in the association between adult-related vs child-related conflict and children’s adjustment. Seventy-five school-aged children and their parents completed measures of inter-parental conflict, cognitive, emotional and behavioral processes and child adjustment. The results indicated that: 1) higher levels of adult-related inter-parental conflict promoted children’s internalizing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat; 2) higher levels of child-related inter-parental discord promoted both children’s internalizing/externalzing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat and self-blame.
Promoting or opposing social change: Political orientations, moral convictions and protest intentions
Authors: Passini Stefano
Published: December 2019

The issue of the motivations behind the decision as to whether or not to join protest actions has been investigated by many scholars. In particular, recent studies have considered violations of one’s own moral convictions and identification with the protest group as the main predictors of collective actions. The present research will focus on the three orientations to the political system identified by Kelman and Hamilton (1989), which consider distinct reasons behind the attachment to the political system and explain the motivations behind supporting or opposing the institutions. The aim is to examine whether these three orientations have an effect on collective action (through moral convictions, politicized identification, anger, and efficacy) considering social protests both against and in favor of the status quo. Specifically, the political orientations should explain why individuals hold a given attitude (positive or negative) towards a policy position, hold it with moral conviction, and decide to join a protest action. The results of three studies confirm the relevance of considering political orientations. Depending on the aim of the protest, each political orientation has a distinct effect on collective action.
From Controlled to Automatic Processes and Back Again: The Role of Contextual Features
Authors: Fabio Rosa Angela , Caprì Tindara , Romano Martina
Published: December 2019

In cognitive psychology, classical approaches categorize automatic and controlled processes from a dichotomous point of view. Automatic processes are believed to be rigid, whereas controlled processes are thought to be flexible. New theories have softened this dichotomous view. The aim of the present study is to examine the possibility of implementing flexibility in automatic processing through reliance on contextual features. One hundred and twenty subjects (mean age 22.4, SD = 4.2), 60 male and 60 female, participated in this study. An automatic sequence task (with and without contextual features) was used to test flexibility in automatic processing. Results showed that the use of contextual cues can increase flexibility in automatic processes. The results are discussed in light of new theories on softened automaticity.
Prédation, virginité et mauvaise foi chez France Théoret
Authors: Mihelakis Eftihia
Published: December 2019

L’attention portée à la prédation est sûrement l’une des constantes les plus visibles de l’oeuvre protéiforme de France Théoret, mais à propos de laquelle il y a eu très peu d’études. La prédation prend la forme spécifique, dans Va et nous venge (2015), de la mauvaise foi, un repli de la pensée. Dans cet article, je m’attarde à cette idée que la mauvaise foi génère une violence qui entend éradiquer toute forme de différence, puisqu’elle est toujours à la recherche de l’homogénéité et de la complaisance. Mais, pour Théoret, écrire sur la mauvaise foi c’est aussi donner à lire le pouvoir fragile, ambivalent, de l’adolescence au féminin quand cette dernière s’érige au nom de la défloration.
Effectiveness of domestic rural wastewater treatment in soil-plant system

The characteristics of Polish rural agglomerations indicate that only 32% of these areas are villages typified by compact buildings where the use of a collective sewage system is economically justified. In other areas, it is necessary to apply solutions that allow for the sewage utilization in place of their creation and safe discharge into the environment, e.g. in the form of home systems based on biological processes, e.g. in soil-plant systems. The purpose of the work was to determine the soil-plant efficiency of wastewater treatment with the use of so-called energy plants. The experiment was conducted in 2012–2014 in lysimeters at a depth of 130 cm and 100 cm in diameter. These were submerged in the ground, filled with sand clay and equipped with installations enabling the drain-age of gravity water in the form of lysimeter effluents. Two species of plants were used: Miscanthu giganteus and Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby. They were irrigated with pre-treated domestic sewage (variant I – 1200 mm · year−1 and variant II – 1600 mm · year−1). For irrigation, sewage from a group of buildings inhabited by six families was used. Raw domestic sewage was discharged into the tank, consisting of four chambers, which constituted a relatively good level of pre-cleaning. For the irrigation of plants in the experiment, pre-treated sewage was used. In order to determine the effectiveness of wastewater treatment in the soil-plant environment, the concentrations of the following components were determined in the effluents: TSS, BOD5, COD, Ntot. The quantities of pollutants contained in the sewage were characterized by considerable variability, especially in relation to COD (390.6–1583.0 mg O2· dm−3) and Ntot (47.0–250.2 mg N · dm−3).
Hole in One: an element reduction approach to modeling bone porosity in finite element analysis
Authors: Santaella Beatriz L. , Tseng Z. Jack
Published: December 2019

Finite element analysis has been an increasingly widely applied biomechanical modeling method in many different science and engineering fields over the last decade. In the biological sciences, there are many examples of FEA in areas such as paleontology and functional morphology. Despite this common use, the modeling of trabecular bone remains a key issue because their highly complex and porous geometries are difficult to replicate in the solid mesh format required for many simulations. A common practice is to assign uniform model material properties to whole or portions of models that represent trabecular bone. In this study we aimed to demonstrate that a physical, element reduction approach constitutes a valid protocol for addressing this problem in addition to the wholesale mathematical approach. We tested a customized script for element reduction modeling on five exemplar trabecular geometry models of carnivoran temporomandibular joints, and compared stress and strain energy results of both physical and mathematical trabecular modeling to models incorporating actual trabecular geometry. Simulation results indicate that that the physical, element reduction approach generally outperformed the mathematical approach: physical changes in the internal structure of experimental cylindrical models had a major influence on the recorded stress values throughout the model, and more closely approximates values obtained in models containing actual trabecular geometry than solid models with modified trabecular material properties. In models with both physical and mathematical adjustments for bone porosity, the physical changes exhibit more weight than material properties changes in approximating values of control models. Therefore, we conclude that maintaining or mimicking the internal porosity of a trabecular structure is a more effective method of approximating trabecular bone behavior in finite element models than modifying material properties.

Published: December 2019

Background: β-Thalassemia major is considered to be one of the most common inherited hemolytic anemia. Enhanced years of survival of thalassemia have led to unmasking related complications related to alterations in certain trace elements like magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, zinc etc.

Objective: Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of iron chelation therapy and blood transfusion on certain trace elements (Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Copper, Zinc) in β-thalassemic patients on chelation therapy more than one year.

Materials and Methods: In the present cross sectional study, 100 β-thalassemic patients receiving chelation therapy for atleast 1year were recruited from Civil Hospital Ahmedabad, Gujarat during February, 2017 to December, 2018 and equal  number (n=100) of healthy subjects were taken as a control group in the age range of 8 to 15 years of both sexes (male & female). The levels of serum magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and copper in serum were analyzed and results were correlated with normal healthy subjects.

Results: A significant increase in serum copper (P≤ 0.01) and phosphorus (P≤ 0.001) were observed levels while a significant (P≤ 0.05) fall in magnesium, calcium and zinc levels recorded in β-thalassemic patients in comparison to healthy control subjects.

Conclusion: Aforementioned observations suggested that fluctuations in the trace elements levels in β- thalassemic children receiving blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy could leads to different complications like hemolyzed red cells, infections & hemochromatosis renal damage, hypoparathyroidism etc. if remains untreated. Hence routine assessment of these elements is recommended for better management.
