« Ma mère est psychotique ! » avec et malgré ma mère…
Authors: Bonnouvrier Nathalie
Published: February 2021

L’auteure, psychologue dans un service de visites médiatisées, présente un cas clinique où il s’agit de nommer la maladie mentale dont souffre une mère aux trois enfants faisant déjà l’objet d’une mesure de placement. L’enjeu est multiple : dire ce qui se passe aux enfants sur le plan de la gravité des troubles mentaux, trouver une manière qui ne bloque pas la relation entre la mère malade et les enfants, maintenir un travail de médiatisation qui permette aux enfants de trouver pour eux un possible récit de leur famille.

Nos jeunes collègues écrivent ! Construction et déconstruction possible de la notion de « débilité infantile ». L’éducation et le recours aux experts
Authors: Baldassi D’Arrigo Floriana
Published: February 2021

L’auteur résume le sujet de sa thèse en cours sur la notion d’enfant débile, ou arriéré ou déficient mental dans le système scolaire. Elle fait un historique de cette notion et critique l’approche aliéniste comme pédagogique de la question. Elle présente enfin l’expérience de Bonneuil de Maud Mannoni par laquelle l’enfant est enfin reconnu comme sujet à part entière et non comme objet d’analyse à conduire absolument vers un savoir officiel.
Bloc opératoire : leadership au service de la performance
Authors: Levresse-Toussaint Sophie
Published: February 2021

Les réformes hospitalières et les politiques sanitaires actuelles amènent les organisations de blocs opératoires à évoluer dans une logique de rationalisation croissante. Soumise à des indicateurs de gestion, l’activité opératoire ne peut être improvisée, à l’heure de l’efficience et de la productivité où qualité et sécurité des soins doivent être garanties auprès des personnes soignées. Exercer des fonctions managériales au cœur d’un bloc opératoire, avec ces objectifs de performance, suggère des qualités personnelles et professionnelles fortes pour construire un avantage coopératif. Le leadership exercé, adapté à la situation, est une des clés de réussite où communication effective, confiance et dynamisme sont des avantages indiscutables auprès des acteurs de santé composant la richesse pluridisciplinaire. Le cadre de bloc est acteur, pilote et chef d’orchestre d’un collectif aux individualités et singularités fortes dans un environnement où les enjeux de pouvoir sont prégnants. Les stratégies managériales exercées dans une logique participative permettent de conduire l’activité opératoire en mobilisant chaque acteur. La garantie de sa mission est individuelle mais également institutionnelle par la construction d’une gouvernance aux responsabilités partagées.
L’humour au service du manager de proximité
Authors: Lorin Geraldine
Published: February 2021

Le manager de proximité, tiraillé entre la hiérarchie et les managés, est un acteur clé de nos institutions. Véritable charnière communicationnelle, le choix de ses modes de diffusion d’informations est essentiel en termes d’impact sur la motivation et la performance de son équipe. Au sein de nos organisations hospitalières, l’humour revêt une place importante en termes de mécanisme de défense mais aussi en termes d’échanges entre soignants ainsi que dans la relation soignant soigné, et pourtant si peu mobilisé au quotidien par nos managers de proximité. Notre note de recherche va donc nous amener à répondre à cette question : « Dans quelle mesure l’humour peut-il constituer un levier d’actions du manager de proximité dans nos organisations hospitalières ? ».
La diversité professionnelle : un atout au service de l’intelligence collective ?
Authors: Laurent-Brochet Aline
Published: February 2021

La diversité professionnelle est au cœur de nos organisations. Aujourd’hui, face, à la complexité du monde qui nous entoure, l’intelligence collective peut être une des réponses : réfléchir ensemble, partager des connaissances, construire une vision partagée pour proposer une décision collective. Le dispositif PasseR’aile, nouvel établissement de l’Association Lorraine d’Aide aux Personnes Gravement Handicapées (ALAGH), par ses missions spécifiques, son côté novateur et la complexité des situations rencontrées, a choisi d’embaucher une diversité de professionnels, d’un côté « des experts », de l’autre des professionnels du quotidien, et ce afin de répondre au mieux aux missions qui lui ont été confiées. Ma recherche a tenté de comprendre si la diversité était un atout ou un frein au service de l’intelligence collective. L’étude menée montre que la diversité professionnelle est un atout indéniable pour tous, par sa richesse dans les échanges notamment et par la construction d’une vision partagée. Cependant, l’étude met en avant également des freins sur la dimension relationnelle principalement. Cette note de recherche proposera, en dernière partie, des préconisations en lien avec les éléments conceptuels et l’analyse réalisée.
Les angles morts du management : regards sur le champ médico-social
Authors: Gelbler Stéphane
Published: February 2021

Le cœur de cette note de recherche consiste à interroger les stratèges et regarder comment et pourquoi ils agissent au quotidien. À partir des apports théoriques de Richard Witthington, des travaux de Crozier et Friedberg et de ceux de Mintzberg, nous nous intéresserons aux relations que les faiseurs de stratégie entretiennent entre eux. Au travers d’entretiens et d’un journal de bord, nous aborderons les tensions de la pratique managériale, les enjeux de la coopération stratégique des cadres d’un pôle composé de plusieurs établissements médicaux sociaux. Autrement dit, comment la pratique individuelle et les pratiques collectives des faiseurs de stratégie, s’articulent et contribuent à l’émergence d’une stratégie globale ? Nous cherchons donc à regarder les liens qui se tissent entre la tactique, c’est-à-dire l’acte local, et la stratégie, son extension au niveau collectif.

L’image internationale du Brésil à l’ère de Bolsonaro
Authors: Waynberg Jacques
Published: February 2021

Cette étude propose une réflexion concernant la réputation du Brésil et l’impact de l’image de son président sur sa représentation à l’international. Nous avons vérifié l’hypothèse selon laquelle le caractère controversé de Jair Bolsonaro a eu un effet négatif sur la façon dont les étrangers jugent le Brésil. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé les sentiments investis dans 81 titres d’articles de presse publiés par 44 sources différentes à l’étranger. Le résultat fut comparé à celui obtenu dans l’analyse de 26 titres portant sur Lula. Deux logiciels ont servi à l’analyse. Le résultat témoigne du fort déclin de la réputation du Brésil dans l’évaluation internationale.
À propos de Louis de Bonald et de sa sociologie
Authors: Moreau Erwan
Published: February 2021

Personnage oublié de l’histoire de la sociologie, Louis de Bonald a pourtant développé, au tournant du XIX e  siècle, sur les bases de sa théologie politique un système de philosophie sociale particulièrement novateur dans sa forme, allant jusqu’à inspirer à Auguste Comte certains éléments de son système de philosophie positive. À travers cet article, nous tenterons de mettre au jour les linéaments d’une sociologie bonaldienne en partant de la philosophie de la connaissance qu’il développe notamment dans ses Recherches philosophiques sur les premiers objets de nos connaissances morales pour ensuite nous intéresser à sa méthode et à sa théorie sociale à proprement parler.
Des épidémies de choléra dans le contexte ottoman au COVID-19 : quelques réflexions sur l’incertitude
Authors: İlikan Rasimoğlu Ceren Gülser
Published: February 2021

Cet article vise à mettre en corrélation les incertitudes qui surgissent en période d’épidémie et les réponses des sociétés aux épidémies. Un autre objectif de cet article est de discuter de la manière dont les réponses historiques au choléra peuvent contribuer à ce que nous pouvons comprendre du COVID-19 aujourd’hui. Entre ce dernier et le choléra, on peut identifier un certain nombre de propriétés comparables, y compris leurs modes de transmission adaptés au déplacement humain. Les maladies associées présentent des profils similaires, notamment une augmentation rapide du nombre de décès, qui entraînent des peurs individuelles et collectives. L’article se concentre principalement sur le concept d’incertitude afin de comprendre les environnements d’incertitude créés par les épidémies. En outre, l’article examine les questions que suscite la présence d’incertitudes étiologiques, politiques et sociales dans le contexte du choléra. Ensuite, nous évoquons l’attitude prudente de la population ottomane face aux autorités et à l’incertitude créée par l’épidémie, et les pratiques de dissimulation de la maladie et de fuite dans les régions où la maladie est présente. Enfin, nous nous penchons sur la relation entre les préoccupations, les peurs et les pratiques d’évitement du public et l’infodémie. En outre, nous examinons les actes de violence suscités par les rumeurs relatives aux épidémies successive au cours du siècle sont mentionnés. L’article suggère en conclusion que le partage d’informations par les autorités politiques et les professionnels de santé est un outil efficace pour gérer l’incertitude.

Authors: Emerson Dawn M. , Torres-McGehee Toni Marie , Yeargin Susan W. , Kelly Melani R. , Uriegas Nancy , Smith Allison B , Weber Samantha R. , Hirschhorn Rebecca M. , Cannon Cormac
Published: February 2021

Context

To our knowledge, no researchers have investigated thermoregulatory responses and exertional heat illness (EHI) risk factors in marching band (MB) artists performing physical activity in high environmental temperatures.

Objective

To examine core temperature (Tc) and EHI risk factors in MB artists.

Design

Descriptive epidemiology study.

Setting

Three rehearsals and 2 football games for 2 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I institution's MBs.

Patients or Other Participants

Nineteen volunteers (females = 13, males = 6; age = 20.5 ± 0.9 years, height = 165.1 ± 7.1 cm, mass = 75.0 ± 19.1 kg) completed the study.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

We measured Tc, wet bulb globe temperature, and relative humidity preactivity, during activity, and postactivity. Other variables were activity time and intensity, body surface area, hydration characteristics (fluid volume, sweat rate, urine specific gravity, percentage of body mass loss), and medical history (eg, previous EHI, medications). The statistical analysis consisted of descriptive information (mean ± standard deviation), comparative analyses that determined differences within days, and correlations that identified variables significantly associated with Tc.

Results

The mean time for rehearsals was 102.8 ± 19.8 minutes and for games was 260.5 ± 47.7 minutes. Mean maximum Tc was 39.1 ± 1.1°C for games and 38.4 ± 0.7°C for rehearsals; the highest Tc (41.2°C) occurred during a game. Fluid consumption did not match sweat rates (P < .001). Participants reported to games in a hypohydrated state 63.6% of the time. The maximum Tc correlated with the maximum wet bulb globe temperature (r = 0.618, P < .001) and was higher in individuals using mental health medications (rpb = −0.254, P = .022) and females (rpb = 0.330, P = .002). Body surface area (r = −0.449, P < .001) and instrument mass (r = −0.479, P < .001) were negatively correlated with Tc.

Conclusions

Marching band artists experienced high Tc during activity and should have access to athletic trainers who can implement EHI-prevention and -management strategies.
A visual analog scale for the assessment of mild sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and healthy participants
Authors: Alqurashi Yousef D. , Dawidziuk Aleksander , Alqarni Abdullah , Kelly Julia , Moss James , Polkey Michael I. , Morrell Mary J.
Published: February 2021

MOTIVATION:

Studies have shown poor clinical effectiveness of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) due to its ambiguity of items and cultural applicability. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess sleepiness, compared to ESS.

METHODS:

Thirty-two obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and 32 healthy participants completed two visits, 1 month apart, during which they completed both ESS and VAS. Patients diagnosed with OSA were treated with Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) between visits. The agreement between the ESS and VAS scores in both patients with OSA and healthy participants was investigated using Pearson correlation and Area Under the receiver operating characteristics.

RESULTS:

The (mean ± standard deviation) Oxygen Desaturation Index for patients with OSA was 18.5 ± 5.7 events/hour and 1.7 ± 1.0 events/hour in the healthy participants. A reduction in sleepiness, following CPAP treatment occurred in patients with OSA, using the ESS (11.2 ± 5.5–4.7 ± 5.0 points, P < 0.001) and the VAS (50.2 ± 3.0–21.9 ± 26.5 mm, P < 0.001). There was no significant change in sleepiness, in healthy participants using the ESS (3.91 ± 3.14–3.34 ± 3.27 points (P < 0.48) or the VAS (15.58 ± 21.21–12.05 ± 14.75 mm, (P < 0.44). A Likert scale showed that the VAS was easier to use compared to ESS in visit 1 (VAS: 8.7 ± 1.9 points, ESS: 7.7 ± 2.6 points, (P < 0.001), and visit 2 (VAS: 9.5 ± 1.4 points, ESS: 8.6 ± 1.5 points, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION:

These preliminary results suggest that the VAS can detect a change in sleepiness after CPAP treatment in patients with OSA and that the VAS was also easier to use compared to ESS.
Management of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in an Adult Patient
Authors: Shivanna Ragunatha , Ramakrishna Gaurav , Mannur Godwin K
Published: February 2021

An adult male patient who underwent neurosurgery for extradural hematoma following road traffic accident presented with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) secondary to phenytoin. The patient was semiconscious and not responding to verbal commands. The patient was admitted and managed with oral cyclosporine and supportive measures. TEN is a dermatological emergency presenting as acute skin failure. The management requires multidisciplinary approach in an intensive care setup. The treatment includes the administration of immunosuppressant drugs and maintenance of hemodynamic stability. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a lot of limitations regarding the use of immunosuppressant drugs and in-patient care because of the possibility of transmission of COVID-19 infection among patients, their caretakers and health-care professionals. Here, we are presenting a case of TEN managed successfully during the pandemic of COVID-19. Strict adherence to all the guidelines recommended by concerned authorities related to the prevention of transmission of COVID-19 and judicious use of immunosuppressant drugs based on risk and benefit ratio is very crucial.

Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies is rare and represents about 2% of all skin tumors. Cutaneous metastasis occur in about 0.2%–0.4% of gastric carcinoma cases, most commonly affecting the abdomen with neck, head, eyebrow, axilla, chest, and fingertips being the other sites. Here, we present a case in which cutaneous metastases presenting as multiple crateriform nodules were the first presenting signs of gastric adenocarcinoma.
Arsenical Keratoses
Authors: Kaur Tejinder , Budhwar Jyoti
Published: February 2021

Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust, widely distributed in the environment, in drinking water, used in various industrial, agricultural & medicinal substances & is a occupational hazard for miners and glass workers. Arsenic impairs nucleotide excision repair, affect DNA methylation. Chronic exposure of arsenic leads to arsenical keratosis, which usually presents as multiple hyperkeratotic, punctuate lesions, occurs at sites of friction and trauma especially on palms and soles and on chronically light exposed skin. They resemble Bowen's disease microscopically and may progress to squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma. Topical 5-FU, 5% Imiquimod and oral retinoids may be helpful in treating arsenic induced cutaneous lesions. Arsenical keratosis in a patient of non endemic area of Amritsar region, makes this case worth reporting.
A Study on Clinical Patterns of Nonvenereal Male Genital Dermatoses at a Rural-Based Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Singhal Rochit R , Nair Pragya Ashok
Published: February 2021

Background:

All dermatoses affecting genitalia are not sexually transmitted. Wrongly labeling a patient as a case of venereal disease can have great psychosocial implications, apart from the resultant wrong treatment. It is necessary to have detailed knowledge and broader view while approaching genital lesions as it can be a nonvenereal disease.

Objectives:

The aim was to study the clinical patterns of nonvenereal male genital dermatoses.

Materials and Methods:

It was a cross-sectional observational study of male patients having nonvenereal genital dermatoses attending the Department of Dermatology for a period of 1 year from June 2016 to May 2017. Male patients with genital lesions were included in the study after taking their written consent in vernacular language. A detailed history and examination was carried out according to a prestructured pro forma. Investigations were done as and when required. Patients diagnosed with sexually transmitted disease were excluded from the study.

Results:

The study included 200 male patients having forty different nonvenereal genital dermatoses. Most patients belong to the age group of 19–40 years (46%), with a mean age of 36.47 years. Most of them were students (32%), were graduate (38.5%), and belonged to middle socioeconomic class (60.5%). Sixty percent of the patients were married. Common dermatoses encountered were scabies (27 [13.5%]), dermatophytoses (19 [9.5%]), scrotal dermatitis (16 [8%]), lichen planus (15 [7.5%]), vitiligo (12 [6%]), and psoriasis and pearly penile papules each with 10 (5%) cases. Other rare dermatoses were median raphe cyst, genital lentigenosis, granuloma annulare, nevus, cutaneous tuberculosis, and lichen sclerosus.

Conclusions:

Scabies was the most common nonvenereal genital dermatosis found in this study.
A closer look at the elephant in the room: the distinctiveness of geographical indications
Authors: Xinzhe Song
Published: February 2021

The term ‘distinctiveness’ is used in trademark law to refer to the capacity of a trademark to distinguish the goods of one undertaking from those of other undertakings. The importance of this concept can be seen in Article 15 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), which provides that any sign having distinctiveness shall be capable of constituting a trademark. Gradually, ‘distinctiveness’ has come to be used to describe the distinguishing capacity of other distinctive signs, including geographical indications (GIs). This article explores the distinctiveness of GIs. It begins with a discussion of the meaning of GI distinctiveness in the different GI protection contexts to reveal its particularity compared to the traditional concept of trademark distinctiveness. The second part of the discussion shows, however, that the concept of GI distinctiveness is not given sufficient importance in the protection of GIs, and is confused with the distinctiveness of collective or certification marks. This article therefore calls for an approach that recognizes the importance and the particularity of the distinctiveness of GIs in the design of GI protection mechanisms.
Validity in patent infringement proceedings – a new approach to transnational jurisdiction
Authors: Tang Zheng Sophia
Published: February 2021

Validity is frequently raised as an issue in patent infringement proceedings, either as a defence or as a preliminary question. Where a court may hear a dispute in relation to infringement of foreign patents, whether the court could and should adjudicate their validity is controversial. This article examines five approaches to this matter. It concludes that none of these approaches is perfect and that there is a lack of evidence-based assessment as to their efficiency. It then moves on to discuss the similar jurisdictional segregation which occurs between validity and infringement at the domestic level in those countries which have adopted a bifurcation system of patents. It suggests that measures adopted domestically may shed light on the international conflict, and that courts should consider factors exceeding those ordinarily considered by international lawyers. A jurisdiction ‘matrix’ is proposed, aimed at providing a pragmatic solution. It grants the court on infringement the initial power to screen the likelihood of success of the infringement claim and then the validity defence, taking into account the accuracy of decision, expertise, chances of success, sound management of justice and deterrence of torpedo defences, before making a decision on validity jurisdiction.

Nowa starożytna Jerozolima – miasto wykreowane przez brytyjskie władze Mandatu Palestyny
Authors: Mroczkowski Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

War is a unique carrier of urban changes – not only with regard to the destruction that accompanies them but also in the context of the mechanisms associated with their social consequences. Not only for the destruction resulting from military actions but also arising from the mechanisms related to their political and social effects, including architectural and urban creation in a very specific sense. For these reasons, the Great War of 1914–1918 is now generally seen not only as a traumatic political and military experience on a universal scale but also as a trigger that gave rise to the great social changes that occurred in the twentieth century. The cultural change then forced on leaders, to take many different shapes often reaching for the clearly recognisable symbolism at the intersection of urban planning, architecture, historical phantasmagoria and religion. This became particularly visible during the so-called Palestinian campaign of General Edmund Allenby and after British troops captured Jerusalem in December 1917.
Relations between Abs-Normal NLPs and MPCCs. Part 1: Strong Constraint Qualifications
Authors: Hegerhorst-Schultchen Lisa C. , Kirches Christian , Steinbach Marc C.
Published: February 2021

This work is part of an ongoing effort of comparing non-smooth optimization
problems in abs-normal form to MPCCs. We study the general abs-normal NLP with
equality and inequality constraints in relation to an equivalent MPCC
reformulation. We show that kink qualifications and MPCC constraint
qualifications of linear independence type and Mangasarian-Fromovitz type are
equivalent. Then we consider strong stationarity concepts with first and second
order optimality conditions, which again turn out to be equivalent for the two
problem classes. Throughout we also consider specific slack reformulations
suggested in [9], which preserve constraint qualifications of linear
independence type but not of Mangasarian-Fromovitz type.
Perception stage regarding Covid-19 and the sexual behaviour
Authors: Delcea Cristian
Published: February 2021

Objectives: The present research addresses the stage of perception of Romanian respondents regarding Sars-CoV-2 contamination and their sexual behaviour. Specifically, the goal is to observe whether respondents use protection measures during their sexual activity.
Methods: The study included 621 participants randomly chose. Online scales were used, mainly the Covid-19 Sexuality Assessment Questionnaire, to assess perceptions of Sars-CoV-2 virus contamination and on sexual behaviours.
Results: Scores were obtained for the three stages investigated: real information, one’s sources of information and the stage of pandemic and sexual behaviour. The frequency of answers obtained was F = 49 and the expected frequency was F = 60.9 for real information about Covid-19, having an insignificant p > 0.5. The frequency of the answers obtained was F = 52 and the expected frequency was F = 50.7 for one’s information sources, having a significant p < 0.1. The frequency of the answers obtained was F = 18 and the expected frequency of F = 16.9 for the pandemic stage and sexual behaviour, having an insignificant p > 0.5.
Conclusions: The results obtained show that the respondents had less official and specialized information with and about the sexual life during pandemic, and no exact data about the danger they are exposed to in terms of transmission with the Sars-CoV-2 virus.
Sexual life during COVID-19
Authors: Delcea Cristian
Published: February 2021

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly around the world leading to massive changes in various areas. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this disease a global pandemic in March 2020 causing a range of restrictions and global lockdown. Sexual behaviors have suffered change because of the virus transmission and governmental regulations for people to stay inside their homes. This paper addresses the quality of sexual life during lockdown in Romanian population. We discuss results from an online survey of 395 adults who were asked about their intimate lives, in terms of pornography consumption, solo masturbation and sexual intercourse. We also collected data regarding variables of a good relationship in order to see wether they have an influence over sexual life. We found that a good relationship is strongly connected to quality of sexual life. Our results also show that many people have solo masturbated (72,2%) and have consumed pornography materials (56,5%).
Key words: sexual life, COVID-19, sexual behavior.

La izquierda reaccionaria española. El conflicto entre el taxi y las plataformas Uber y Cabify como caso de estudio
Authors: Arboledas-Lérida Luis
Published: February 2021

Este artículo toma por caso de estudio el reciente conflicto entre el sector del taxi y las empresas con licencia VTC (Vehículos de Transporte conConductor) que operan para las plataformas Uber y Cabify, con propósito de poner en relieve la naturaleza esencialmente reaccionaria del programa político de la izquierda española contemporánea. A este respecto, se argumenta que son dos las determinaciones del sujeto enajenado de la vida social (el capital) que encuentran realización en el alineamiento de estas organizaciones con los intereses de la pequeña propiedad y el pequeño capital, a saber: de un lado, la diferenciación cualitativa entre capitales individuales en virtud de sus respectivas capacidades de valorización; del otro, la disociación de las diferentes formas de la plusvalía (interés, ganancia industrial y renta) y su encarnación por diversos sujetos sociales. El texto explora asimismo la conexión interna entre ambas determinaciones, siendo la primera la base material sobre la que la segunda se despliega en plenitud. A su vez, la reconstrucción y actualización de las formas de socialismo o comunismo expuestas por Marx y Engels en El Manifiesto Comunista, permite constatar que los postulados esgrimidos por la izquierda en torno al conflicto taxi – VTC, se corresponden punto por punto con el contenido específico del socialismo pequeñoburgués decimonónico.
On the Latin American revolutions manifiesto
Authors: Naranjo Navas Christian Paúl , Naranjo Navas Bryan Josué
Published: February 2021

Las revoluciones en América Latina se han estructurado a través de un manifiesto inédito que toma las figuras del héroe, la víctima y el victimariodentro de ideas comunes que se desarrollaron alrededor del final de la historia. Este artículo presenta la realidad dentro de un discurso monopolizado, que juega con cierto vocabulario marxista, mientras evoca un mesías político, el salvador, el revolucionario. El objetivo principal de este escrito es comprender el manifiesto de las revoluciones latinoamericanas presentado en un discursivo común. Al final, señalamos el pequeño desarrollo regional de propuestas que intentan llenar el concepto de revolución con un nuevo pensamiento. Este escrito se basa en cuatro eventos históricos, a saber: la revolución mexicana, que comenzó en 1910; la revolución boliviana de abril de 1952; la revolución cubana, principios de 1959; y la revolución nicaragüense de finales de los años setenta.
La constitución de sujetos políticos en el movimiento estudiantil colombiano
Authors: Vargas Torres Margarita Rosa
Published: February 2021

Este artículo tiene por objeto establecer la revisión histórica de lo que ha sido el movimiento estudiantil desde los años 60 hasta la actualidad con el fin de dar elementos para pensar los cambios en las formas de hacer y entender la política que presentan los sujetos que lo integran en la actualidad. En este recorrido se resaltan los aspectos contradictorios y la heterogeneidad en la composición del movimiento estudiantil junto a la discusión entre lo gremial y lo político, sus lógicas democráticas y/o asamblearias; estas últimas se mueven entre el paradigma de la representación o formas de democracia participativa. Se concluye que los estudiantes que integran el movimiento estudiantil han mantenido sus demandas históricamente, así como su lucha por la unidad y la disputa por los sentidos que configuran su identidad y subjetividad. Ellos recientemente despliegan repertorios de lucha novedosos en cuanto a lo comunicativo y lo político.
You Were Hired to Teach! Ideological Struggle, Education, and Teacher Burnout at the New Prison for Women
Authors: Wright Randall
Published: February 2021

Critical theorists consider schools as sites of ideological struggle. The following is an account of Suzettes (pseudonym) attempts to define the educational practices in a women’s prison according to the democratic principles suggested in the Task Force Report on Federally Sentenced Women: Creating Choices, (Correctional Service of Canada, 1990). This report led to the construction of five new prisons for women across Canada. Suzettes case illustrates how ideological struggles are experienced personally, and how they contribute to her burnout disillusionment and resignation. Habermass critical research program and his concept of system and lifeworld undergirds this interpretation of this teachers resistance to the correctional ethos at the New Prison for Women (NPW).
Beyond Abstraction: Philosophy as a Practical Qualitative Research Method
Authors: Sheffield Eric
Published: February 2021

In this paper, I take up a discussion of what philosophic method is, and why it should be viewed as an important qualitative research method. After clarifying the nature of philosophic method within the larger framework of social practices, I argue that philosophy is important to both practice and research, and I suggest that philosophers work in concert with other qualitative researchers. I argue that recently (relatively speaking) philosophy has been viewed with some understandable disdain among both practitioners and researchers as an enjoyable but abstract (and therefore useless) social practice. That perception can be fixed but only if philosophical research becomes once again explicitly relevant to practice (particularly educational practice). Finally, I provide a brief example of how philosophy can indeed be relevant to practice from a recent symposium that I participated in on reflection in service-learning education.
Enhancing the Interpretation of Significant Findings: The Role of Mixed Methods Research
Authors: Onwuegbuzie Anthony , Leech Nancy
Published: February 2021

The present essay outlines how mixed methods research can be used to enhance the interpretation of significant findings. First, we define what we mean by significance in educational evaluation research. With regard to quantitative-based research, we define the four types of significance: statistical significance, practical significance, clinical significance, and economic significance. With respect to qualitative-based research, we define a significant finding as one that has meaning or representation. Second, we describe limitations of each of these types of significance. Finally, we illustrate how conducting mixed methods analyses can be used to enhance the interpretation of significant findings in both quantitative and qualitative educational evaluation and policy research. Consequently, mixed methods research represents the real gold standard for studying phenomena.

The lesson utilizes concepts that the students are familiar with, allowing them to focus on the research process, and encourages internalization of concepts through immediate application.
Systematic Metaphor Analysis as a Method of Qualitative Research
Authors: Schmitt Rudolph
Published: February 2021

George Lakoff and Mark Johnsons theory of metaphor (1980, 1999) provides a basis for describing everyday cognitive structures using linguistic models and thus, making it possible to uncover both individual and collective patterns of thought and action. Lakoff and Johnson have not, however, developed a workable system for carrying out qualitative research. This paper outlines the fundamentals of this approach and proposes a procedure for the reconstruction of metaphorical concepts. As is normally the case in qualitative research, such guidelines can only ever represent the interplay between the ability of the researcher to understand the sense of things and the rules of the methodology. An overview of the typical interpretations that a metaphor analysis allows is also given.
Databases Don’t Measure Motivation
Authors: Yeager Joseph
Published: February 2021

Automated persuasion is the Holy Grail of quantitatively biased data base designers. However, data base histories are, at best, probabilistic estimates of customer behavior and do not make use of more sophisticated qualitative motivational profiling tools. While usually absent from web designer thinking, qualitative motivational profiling can be integrated into data base designs. However, qualitative profiling would require that designers add to their repertoire a set of qualitative motivational profiling tools. Clearly the quantitative or qualitative tool must fit the task. This contemporary confusion is corrected by separating the marketing and market research tools into quantitative or qualitative applications according to the proper roles they play and the tasks they must engage.

Background. Timely diagnosis of recurrence of malignant tumors of the ovaries can improve treatment outcomes. Purpose – determine the feasibility of using the tumor marker HE-4 in case of recurrence of malignant ovarian tumors. Materials and methods. To analyze the levels of HE-4 and CA-125 in patients with recurrence of malignant ovarian tumors and determine the feasibility of using HE-4 at this stage of monitoring, 29 patients with known indicators of HE-4 and CA-125 at the time of recurrence and their baseline data were selected. Results and discussion. The paper presents the results of the study of the HE-4 and CA-125 tumor markers levels in 29 patients with a proven recurrence of malignant ovarian neoplasms depending on the timing of its appearance – up to 12 months (n = 9), 13–24 months (n = 11) and after 24 months (n = 9). The values of the tumor-associated HE-4 marker were decreased during the relapse compared to baseline expression levels. When analyzing of the HE-4 serum, their significant difference was revealed only in the event of relapse in the period of up to one year (1207.00 pmol/l) from recurrence rates in the periods of 13–24 and of over 24 months (567.00 and 655.50 pmol/l, respectively). Conclusions. Only the baseline expression of HE-4 is prognostically significant for determining the timing of recurrence of ovarian malignancies.

Los residuos agrícolas y pastos henificados con más de 150 d de rebrote se caracterizan por su alto contenido en fibra y Pleurotus ostreatus digiere lignina, celulosa y hemicelulosa. La hipótesis fue que Pleurotus ostreatus mejora las características químicas y el valor nutricional de rastrojos y pasturas para la alimentación pecuaria. El objetivo fue determinar las características químicas de valor nutricional, producción de biogás y degradaciones in vitro de rastrojo de maíz y pasto mulato (Brachiaria híbrido) tratado con las cepas MR y P15 de P. ostreatus por 15 y 30 d en fermentación sólida. Las cepas se reactivaron en agar papa-dextrosa y se propagó en sorgo. En un matraz Erlenmeyer se colocaron 50 g de sustrato estéril (80% de humedad) y 5% de inóculo y se fermentaron por 15 y 30 d. Al término, se determinaron las características químicas de valor nutricional, se estimó la producción de biogás y metano (CH4) y degradaciones de materia seca (DMS) y de fibra detergente neutro (DFDN). El diseño experimental fue completamente al azar con arreglo factorial 23. Los fermentos de rastrojo de maíz en 30 d presentaron contenido mayor de proteína cruda. El contenido menor de fibra detergente neutro (FDN) estuvo en rastrojo de maíz con cualquier cepa. El rastrojo de maíz con P15 redujo más fibra detergente ácido (FDA) que MR. El fermento con 30 d mostró mayor FDA en los sustratos evaluados. El pasto mulato con la cepa MR produjo más biogás acumulado que con P15. Los fermentos con 30 d produjeron más biogás acumulado que los de 15 d (p≤0.05). Ni los sustratos ni las cepas mostraron diferencias en la producción de CH4 acumulado (p>0.05). Los fermentos de 30 d con cualquier cepa en rastrojo de maíz mostraron DMS y DFDN mayores (p≤0.05). Pleurotus ostreatus mejoró el contenido de nutrientes y las características fermentativas in vitro de rastrojo de maíz y pasto mulato tratados por fermentación sólida.
Investigation of the Use and Suitability of Plastic Waste for Molding Interlocking Stones in Port Harcourt
Authors:   Institute of Pollution Studies, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, I U. Ubong,
Published: February 2021

Port Harcourt is known in local parlance as the ‘Garden City’ of Rivers State. This is so tagged because of the overwhelming presence of trees (Green Life) and flowers in the Metropolis. But today, it is different as the streets, gutters, rivers and the environs are littered with all types of plastic waste (MSW). These municipal solid wastes (MSW), are indiscriminately dumped at different locations in the Garden City. Plastics constitute a major component of these wastes; thus, this study was aimed at Investigating the Use and Suitability of plastic waste for molding Interlocking stones in Port Harcourt. In this study, samples of plastic wastes (bottles, cups, plates, spoons, and cellophane bags), were collected randomly at selected locations in Port Harcourt City. The area of study covered GRA Phase 1, 2, and 3, Old GRA, Diobu axis, and Port Harcourt main town. These plastic wastes are (PET-Polyethylene Terephthalate) which after collection were weighed and mixed with fine grains of sand (4 kg). The plastic waste samples of 5, 10 and 15 kg were used to mix with fine grains of sand of 4 kg. The mixture was heated under very high temperatures and melted to form a homogeneous mixture. The resultant homogeneous mixture was then poured into different molds of the same sizes (1.32 x10-3 M3). In another reaction, fine grain of sand of 4 kg was mixed with cement of 5, 10 and 15 kg respectively. The mixtures were poured into molds of the same sizes (1.32 x10-3 M3). The strengths of the two different interlocking stones (paver) were measured and compared to confirm which one of them has a better compressive strength for 7, 14 & 28 days. A total of fifty-four (54) molds were used of which twenty-seven were made from plastic waste and the other twenty-seven from cement. The compressive strength of Interlocks made from the two substances were measured and compared. The result showed the compressive strength of Interlocks made from 5, 10 and 15 kg of plastic wastes and 4 kg of sand for 7, 14, and 28 days being comparable to that of cement. The t-test showed that there is no significant difference between the strength of mold made by cement and that of plastic waste. This implies that Plastic Wastes can act as a suitable alternative material to cement for the making of interlocking stones as it has excellent binding properties like cement. This study recommends proper management and disposal of wastes to reduce environmental degradation.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients; especially in premature and low birth weight ones. Surgery is indicated when there is pneumoperitoneum. Other therapies include conservative observation or primary peritoneal drain (PPD). This study was conceived to evaluate peritoneal tapping, rather than primary peritoneal drain (PPD) as a treatment of NEC.Material and Methods- This prospective observational study conducted from December 2012 to December 2014 and including all patients of NEC having pneumoperitoneum on X-ray.Results- There were 12 patients of NEC. Seven patients responded to single peritoneal tapping. Three patients needed one more tapping. Laparotomy was required in remaining two patients. One patient, who underwent laparotomy, expired due to severe sepsis. The mean duration of follow up was 4.83 months (range 2 to 8).Conclusion- Peritoneal tapping in NEC who develops pneumoperitoneum appears to be a viable option. Further studies in this regard may substantiate this mode of therapy.
