HIGHLIGHTS

Ultrasound shows several venous changes in pediatric PIV-containing veins. Changes were visualized by ultrasound in the absence of physical exam findings. Venous luminal narrowing, wall thickening, and thrombosis may explain PIV failure.

Background:

Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVs) are routinely used for venous access in hospitalized pediatric patients to administer fluids and medications and to aspirate blood. Unfortunately, PIVs do not remain functional for the entire duration of intravascular need. We hypothesized that PIV malfunction may be related to venous changes that can be visualized with ultrasound (US) imaging. The purpose of this study was to describe and document such changes in pediatric patients.

Methods:

This Institutional Review Board-approved study was performed at a tertiary pediatric medical center. Patients underwent US scans of their PIV-containing veins, documenting venous characteristics such as depth, diameter, wall thickness, blood flow, valves, branch points, and presence of thrombus. Patient demographics and PIV characteristics were also recorded.

Results:

Data from 30 patients including 12 males and 18 females with a mean age of 11 years were analyzed. Mean venous depth and diameter were 2.07 ± 0.13 and 2.02 ± 0.18 mm, respectively. Mean PIV dwell time at time of evaluation was 3.3 days. PIV-associated venous changes were seen in 73% of accessed veins and included lumen narrowing (47%), wall thickening (33%), presence of thrombus (20%), and absence of blood flow around the PIV tip (40%).

Conclusion:

PIV-associated venous changes are seen with US in the majority of pediatric patients with indwelling PIVs but are not necessarily appreciated on physical exam. These changes may help explain the high rate of pediatric PIV device failure. Given the small sample size, further investigation is needed to better characterize PIV-associated venous changes in children.

O caso trata dos dilemas de Vabo e Amanda referentes ao desenvolvimento de uma equipe forte, com líderes eficazes, em uma empresa que vinha crescendo exponencialmente. Dada uma nova escala de operação, um novo tamanho de time e os desafios de manter a cultura e continuar crescendo, era necessário reavaliar o papel dos principais líderes, suas interdependências e seus impactos na formação dos líderes do futuro. O caso é recomendado para disciplinas de Liderança, Empreendedorismo e Cultura Organizacional em cursos de pós-graduação stricto e latu senso em Administração de Empresas. Espera-se que, ao final da discussão do caso, os participantes possam: (a) familiarizar-se com a interdependência entre valores, crenças, sonhos, histórico de vida e comportamentos do líder; (b) identificar diferentes estilos de liderança, observando suascaracterísticas, idiossincrasias e vulnerabilidades; (c) perceber as diferentes necessidades de liderança em cada estágio de desenvolvimento do negócio, bem como as potenciais consequências de cada estilo de liderança no crescimento, pessoas e cultura da empresa; (d) ampliar seu autoconhecimento, fortalecendo suas escolhas, carreira e liderança.

Published: April 2020

Neste trabalho, investigamos se existe um alinhamento entre as competências trabalhadas nas inovações de ensino e aprendizagem das escolas de Administração no Brasil e as competências do administrador do século XXI exigidas pelo mercado de trabalho e pela sociedade. Para isso, inicialmente estudamos as tendências de evolução do ensino superior e produzimos uma lista com as 11 competências atualmente consideradas as mais necessárias aos cidadãos e aos administradores. Em seguida, analisamos os casos dos 23 ganhadores do Prêmio ANGRAD de Inovação, de 2018, que documentam e detalham iniciativas consideradas as mais inovadorasdo Brasil no campo do ensino em Administração. Entendemos que este conjunto de casos representa amplamente os esforços das escolas de Administração brasileiras em se alinharem às novas demandas sociais. Cada caso foi avaliado individualmente e confrontado à lista de competências para a extração de condições (variáveis descritoras) e resultados (variáveis respostas). As configurações assim obtidas foram analisadas por meio da técnica de crisp set Quantitative Comparative Analysis (Análise Quantitativa Comparativa baseada em conjuntos bem definidos) de forma a permitir a proposição de generalizações. Os resultados indicam que as iniciativas inovadoras mais alinhadas às competências do século XXI foram implementadas com base em projetos robustos e coerentes, utilizaram metodologia própria e envolveram professores e alunos; por outro lado, as iniciativas menos alinhadas com as competências do século XXI caracterizaram-se por não utilizarem casos práticos ou reais. Finalmente, a partir da tabulação das competências trabalhadas nas iniciativas, observou-se que a maioria dos projetos envolvia esforços de integração regional; que há um visível empenho em desenvolver competências sócio relacionais; e que, no outro extremo, nenhuma iniciativa envolveu o desenvolvimento de conforto diante do uso de tecnologia.

Published: April 2020

As rápidas transformações que ocorrem na contemporaneidade requerem mudanças no ambiente educacional. Estas, por sua vez, engendram um novo paradigma de docência universitária. Nesse contexto, as transformações que mais repercutem sobre a prática docente decorrem da exigência de orientar o ensino pela e para a aprendizagem dos estudantes. Mas até que ponto já desenvolvemos as competências pedagógicas requeridas pelo processo de ensino-aprendizagem? Em que medida temos sido capazes de criar ambientes que favoreçam a aprendizagem dos estudantes? No esforço de superarmos visões impressionistas realizamos um levantamento de dados com a aplicação de um questionário. Contamos com 301 respostas válidas e o exercício interpretativo dos dados ajudou a identificar nossos principais desafios enquanto docentes de cursos de graduação e tecnólogos em Administração. O texto evolui da introdução para a descrição dos recursos metodológicos, seguida da descrição e interpretação dos dados, exercício que legitimou os achados e a sinalização de desdobramentos possíveis. Foi identificada a necessidade de soluções estruturais no processo de formação e atualização dos Profissionais que atuam no novo contexto do Ensino Superior.
Using Connell’s masculinity theory to understand the way in which ex-gang-involved men coped with childhood domestic violence
Authors: Levell Jade
Published: April 2020

This article seeks to foreground enacted masculinity in the narratives of men who experienced both childhood domestic violence and abuse, and gang involvement. This is demonstrated through findings from a small yet in-depth research project, where life-history-inspired narrative interviews were taken from men who had experienced both childhood domestic violence and abuse, and gang involvement. The narratives were analysed using Connell’s theory and analytic frame for masculinities to explore the differing masculine identities that emerged in the narratives. By placing a focus on the masculine performances in the men’s lives, this study identified three distinct masculinity performances that were enacted during domestic violence and abuse, and in response to their experience, namely, subordinate masculinity, vulnerable masculinity and protest masculinity. Drawing from Connell’s work, I demonstrate the way in which these identities were interlinked with experience of domestic violence and abuse in childhood. The coping mechanisms that some participants engaged in appeared to relate to the enactment of violence in order to feel an achieved successful masculinity of their own. Ultimately, this article proposes the need for a greater understanding and consideration of masculinities when working with male child survivors of domestic violence and abuse.
Spectral 3D reconstruction of impressionist oil paintings based on macroscopic OCT imaging

Published: April 2020

Art conservators have adopted optical technologies to improve conservation efforts; laser triangulation, stereophotogrammetry, structured light, laser scanners, and time of flight sensors have been deployed to capture the 3D information of sculptures and architectures. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has introduced new imaging methods to study the surface features and subsurface structures of delicate cultural heritage objects. However, the field of view of OCT severely limits the scanning area. We present a hybrid scanning platform combined with an effective algorithm for real-time sampling and artifact removal to achieve macroscopic OCT (macro-OCT) imaging and spectral 3D reconstruction of impressionist style oil paintings.
Research on the reconfigurable bottle beam based on adjusting the spot shape of the incident beam
Authors: Lin Xinglei , Yang Zhikun , Xu Yingtian , Zou Yonggang , Zhang He , Jin Liang , Ma Xiaohui
Published: April 2020

An optical system was designed that can generate a bottle beam with a reconfigurable function. The incident beam is produced by transmitting a circular Gaussian beam through the oblique circular aperture, effectively forming the elliptic beam spot. Due to the asymmetry of the elliptically limited Gaussian beam, the bottle beam with locally vanishing light intensity is generated after the optical system. The results show that the bottle beam can be opened and closed freely by the oblique circular aperture, which is of great significance to particle capture.
Optimization of a multi-TW few-cycle 1.7-µm source based on Type-I BBO dual-chirped optical parametric amplification
Authors: Xu Lu , Nishimura Kotaro , Suda Akira , Midorikawa Katsumi , Fu Yuxi , Takahashi Eiji J.
Published: April 2020

This paper presents the optimization of a dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA) scheme for producing an ultrafast intense infrared (IR) pulse. By employing a total energy of 0.77 J Ti:sapphire pump laser and type-I BBO crystals, an IR pulse energy at the center wavelength of 1.7 µm exceeded 0.1 J using the optimized DC-OPA. By adjusting the injected seed spectrum and prism pair compressor with a gross throughput of over 70%, the 1.7-µm pulse was compressed to 31 fs, which resulted in a peak power of up to 2.3 TW. Based on the demonstration of the BBO type-I DC-OPA, we propose a novel OPA scheme called the “dual pump DC-OPA” for producing a high-energy IR pulse with a two-cycle duration.
Narrative traces through being and places, drawing, performance drawing and painting
Authors: Foá Maryclare
Published: April 2020

A reflective observation of a 40-year drawing practice (from the 1970s to the present day), from observational drawing in outdoor environments, to performing Driftsong sound drawings through place, leading to the author’s current concern, woandering to bridge drawing and painting in a pareidolian archaeology. Her practice, rooted for its first decade in observational drawing in outdoor spaces, intensified her awareness of the environment and led her to undertake a research degree investigating whether an interaction between the environment and the practitioner during the process of drawing could be identified. This review follows the author’s practice, highlighting essential influencers, including Linda Kitson, Charles Baudelaire, Jacques Derrida on Emmanuelle Levinas, Astronaut Chris Hadfield and Performance artist Phil Smith. Identifying how the development of the author’s understanding of the environment impacts on her drawing led her to question whether while making work in the outside environment, she may also impact the environment in return. The author later expanded this idea further to wonder if while we make drawings of the environment we may be drawn by the environment too. A significant conversation with her research supervisor the artist David Cross, in which he stated that mass displacement is ‘a defining condition of our times’, together with the planets approaching environmental catastrophe, prompted the author to give a paper proposing Psychogeography be updated to Reciprocalgeography, and that the stories of the journeys undertaken by those displaced persons be heard as a ‘gift for the common treasury for all’ (Gerard Winstanley 1649). This review concludes with a response to an invitation to write on the thinking and making of her current practice. The author, combining the physical, emotional and conceptual process of making, proposes to woander on a pareidolian archaeology, allowing serendipitous happenstance and the unconscious, to have a hand in the making process.
Imagined and remembered places: Drawing on the past
Authors: Graver Mark
Published: April 2020

The connections between traditional printmaking and drawing are observably strong, particularly when considering the autographic mark making associated with etching, but with the introduction of more digital print technologies the hand, self or gesture may become blurred or processed out of the final image. The process of printmaking also offers distance and creates a space between the drawn and the print creating a liminal space between the hand and the final image. There can though be inherent advantages to this lessening of the self as the distance or space created by these processes allows for a deeper or different exploration of content, context and composition and the universal correspondences that may occur within the space. I use examples of my own work and its development over the last five years, though the focus is on the most current series Imagined & Remembered Places. I explore questions and connections between traditional and digital techniques, relationships to collage, layering, photographs, video and sound; the relationship between memory, place and time and whether a less self-expressive approach allows for a more universal context and connection through shared experience.
New vintage – new history? The sukajan (souvenir jacket) and its fashionable reproduction
Authors: Kramer Elizabeth
Published: April 2020

This article traces the sukajan’s journey from military souvenir to fashion statement. Originally embroidered by the Japanese for American soldiers in Occupied Japan, the sukajan, or souvenir jacket, went on to commemorate further tours of duty, including the Vietnam War. In the second half of the twentieth century, it was worn as an act of defiance by members of subcultures both inside and outside Japan, developing connotations of rebellion. Its visibility in media culture further popularized this garment. The sukajan’s historic associations with military conflict and subculture style, as well as identification with Japanese craftsmanship, made it ideally suited for new vintage production, a growing trend in the fashion industry. The design, branding and marketing of new vintage sukajan drew on these associations to add gravitas to this mass-manufactured garment. Despite its ubiquity, it has received little critical investigation. This article brings the history of this neglected garment to light, and also contributes to debates around the commodification of youth subculture style and military chic. Through an examination of the materiality of the sukajan as it moves between cultures, through time and across space, it further demonstrates how such a study can disrupt the Eurocentrism that continues to plague fashion studies and can contribute to an enriched discussion of imitation, transformation and identity in moving between the global and local. Finally, this article asks: what are the implications of co-opting a garment originating in the brutal militaristic struggles between nations and cultures, sanitizing this history and selling it as fashion?

Molecular identification of Salmonella Typhimurium from village chickens based on invA and spvC genes
Authors: Mkangara Mwanaisha , Mbega Ernest R. , Chacha Musa
Published: April 2020

Aim: This study aimed to identify Salmonella enterica serovars by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on virulence genes invasion A (inv A) and Salmonella plasmid virulence C (spvC).

Materials and Methods: DNA extraction of eight bacteria isolates was done using the PowerSoil® DNA Isolation Kit. The amplification of invA and spvC genes was done using conventional PCR. The positive PCR products were purified using the GeneJET Purification Kit and then sequenced using ABI 3730 XL automated genetic analyzer. The sequences obtained were compared for similarities with other Salmonella serovars deposited on the NCBI GenBank using BLASTN.

Results: Four out of eight samples were amplified by primers FS139/RS141 that target invA gene with products of about 284 bp, and three out of four of the same invA positive samples were also amplified by primers FSPV-1/RSPV-2 targeting spvC with a product of about 571 bp. One sample was not amplified by primers FSPV-1/RSPV-2 as it lacked virulence plasmid. Analysis of sequences indicated 100% homology with closely related serovars of S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Conclusion: Salmonella Typhimurium that contained invA and spvC genes are pathogenic and virulent strains.
Growth performance and hematological changes in growing pigs treated with Cordyceps militaris spent mushroom substrate
Authors: Boontiam Waewaree , Wachirapakorn Chalong , Wattanachai Suchat
Published: April 2020

Aim: This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of dietary Cordyceps militaris spent mushroom substrate (CMS) on growth performance, immunity, metabolic profiles, and antioxidant capacity in growing pigs.

Materials and Methods: Seventy-two crossbred growing pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) with an average initial body weight (BW) of 25.78±0.33 kg were allotted into two dietary treatments in six pens (six growing pigs each). Dietary treatments were (i) control and (ii) supplemented group with 2 g/kg CMS.

Results: Growing pigs fed with 2 g/kg CMS showed improvements in final BW (p=0.034) and average daily weight gain (p=0.039). Moreover, there were positive changes in immunoglobulin A (p=0.013), immunoglobulin G (p=0.019), total antioxidant capacity (p=0.001), and glutathione peroxidase activity (p=0.003), whereas decreased leukocyte percentage (p=0.002), cholesterol (p=0.023), and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations (p=0.002) were noted in the CMS supplemented treatment. Average daily feed intake, gain-to-feed ratio, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein were unaffected by the treatments.

Conclusion: Supplementation of CMS at 2 g/kg of diet increases growth performance, immunoglobulin secretion, and antioxidant capacity, whereas it lowers leukocyte percentage, cholesterol, and MDA concentrations in growing pigs.
Aux frontières de la parenté

Published: April 2020

Que peut nous apprendre la question des marges sur la parenté ? Réciproquement, comment les études sur la parenté contribuent-elles à éclairer le rapport des marges à la norme ? Comment cette notion de marge, ou encore celles de confins, de frontières et de limites sont-elles comprises selon les époques et les espaces géographiques ? À travers cinq articles originaux et un double entretien, ce numéro consacré aux « frontières de la parenté » vise à élargir les bases d’une réflexion amorcée dès les débuts de l’anthropologie. Il éclaire la diversité des acceptions de la notion de marge par la description des pratiques, des représentations et des normes qui leurs sont associées. La marge apparaît d’abord comme un objet à ethnographier et/ou comme un outil analytique. Elle est ensuite questionnée en tant que catégorie d’action. Enfin, la dimension processuelle et temporelle des statuts et des situations marginales est examinée.

Ce que perdre un·e enfant fait à la famille
Authors: Jégat Lucie
Published: April 2020

Cet article se propose d’étudier, dans le contexte français, ce que la perte d’un enfant fait à la famille et à ceux qui la constituent, et ce à travers le deuil particulier d’un·e enfant adolescent·e. En s’appuyant sur des entretiens réalisés avec des parents ainsi qu’avec des frères et soeurs ayant perdu un·e enfant (ou un membre de la fratrie) âgé·e de 12 à 25 ans, cet article tend à montrer que le deuil produit une marginalité particulière, résultant de la confrontation entre deux statuts contradictoires. En mobilisant les notions de « frontières » et de « marge » dans une perspective contemporaine et sociologique, il s’agit de montrer que, si les parents endeuillé·e·s se retrouvent dans une situation marginale et cherchent à réaffirmer un rôle parental remis en cause par le deuil, cette position ne peut être comprise qu’en relation avec celle de l’enfant décédé·e et de la place qui lui est désormais accordée dans la famille. Les modalités de la reconfiguration familiale et de la redéfinition de ses frontières sont ainsi analysées.
Quand l’administration fait le couple par le corps
Authors: Lavanchy Anne
Published: April 2020

Que révèle du lien conjugal l’analyse de la gestion administrative du mariage et de ses effets légaux ? En analysant le travail des officiers d’état civil en Suisse, cet article présente trois constats. Il montre d’abord que dans le cadre du dépistage des unions dites de convenance, les couples « mixtes » font l’objet d’un contrôle accru : l’accès que permet le mariage à la naturalisation facilitée met en évidence les effets attendus, mais invisiblisés au quotidien, du lien conjugal. Dans le sillage des nouvelles études de la parenté, il permet dans un second temps de comprendre les substances qui circulent entre les conjoint·e·s – l’amour et les substances sexuelles. Enfin, faire couple ne relève pas simplement de l’ordre de la loi, mais aussi de celui de la nature : le lien conjugal révèle la nature malléable des femmes. Le corps à corps avec des époux étrangers peut changer leur appartenance nationale, qui se voit attribuer une volatilité problématique.
Regards croisés de mères, de donneurs et d’enfants de familles lesboparentales en France
Authors: Côté Isabel , Gross Martine , Lavoie Kévin , Chamberland Line
Published: April 2020

En France, la plupart des mères lesbiennes se tournent vers la procréation médicalement assistée (PMA) pour fonder une famille. Un certain nombre d’entre elles ont  cependant recours à un « donneur connu », c’est-à-dire un homme de leur entourage qui accepte de faire un don pour les aider à devenir mères sans pour autant revendiquer une paternité légale. Cet article explore cette configuration familiale en documentant les relations entretenues entre les mères lesbiennes, leur donneur, mais également les enfants issus de ses dons. Quatre rôles endossés par le donneur se dégagent en fonction de la proximité établie avec les mères et de la relation entretenue ou non avec l’enfant au fil du temps : 1) une « quasi » coparentalité planifiée ; 2) un donneur considéré comme un père par une partie de la famille ; 3) un donneur « proche » ou 4) un donneur « distant », voire inconnu.

Les deux chercheuses encouragent une approche relationnelle des marges.
Frontières et marges de la parenté
Authors: Fine Agnès
Published: April 2020

Ce dossier comprend cinq textes de disciplines différentes, sociologie, anthropologie, travail social et histoire, dans lesquels ont été mises à l’épreuve les notions de « frontière » et de « marge » dans le domaine de la parenté. Excellente initiative que de prolonger le dialogue entre ces quatre disciplines, un dialogue qui a été particulièrement fructueux dans le domaine de la parenté des sociétés européennes passées et présentes depuis les années 1970. En bonne anthropologue comparatiste, j’ai essayé d’identifier les points communs et/ou les divergences de ces textes pour faire ressortir leurs apports et éventuellement ouvrir des pistes nouvelles. L’exercice s’est révélé ardu, car si la problématique générale semble la même, chacun d’eux s’attache à un domaine particulier du champ de la parenté, l’alliance pour deux d’entre eux, la filiation pour les trois autres. En outre, il est question de sociétés parfois difficilement comparables parce que très éloignées dans l’espace ou dans le temps. Enfin, à ces difficultés, s’en ajoute une dernière plus importante : l’application de la notion de frontière à des espaces très variés ainsi que la polysémie de celle de marge dont il est fait un usage très différent selon les textes.
Etnicidad y corporalidad en comunidades de la Huasteca Potosina: el Trazol y Dhiman talab
Authors: López Millán Minerva
Published: April 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es describir y comparar dos  dinámicas relacionales que tienen una manifestación y  tratamiento corporal: el trazol y dhiman talab (ser brujeado), en siete comunidades de la Huasteca potosina.

La investigación es etnográfica, iniciada desde 2012 en comunidades distribuidas al sur de Tamuín, San Vicente Tancuayalab y Tanlajás. La ponencia se estructura en  tres apartados: en el primero se introduce de manera general una aportación de David Le Breton (1995) sobre antropología del cuerpo para enmarcar el caso del trazol  y de dhiman  talab.

Con base en un trabajo previo (en prensa a) destinado a explorar las concepciones del mal en una comunidad de Tamuín, en la segunda sección explicaré por qué definí al trazol como el mal que a todos hace iguales. El último apartado está dedicado al “temor a ser brujeado” (dhiman  talab), lo trata un especialista ritual y tiene implicaciones sociales para conservar  la lealtad y lazos de cohesión entre los propios de San Francisco Cuayalab, principalmente. En la comparación final se destacará que ambas fenomenologías corporales tienen diferente expresión en cuanto a relación de etnicidad entre los habitantes en una de las comunidades, y al mismo tiempo constituyen un regulador para hacer frente a problemas de desigualdad social.
Hacer agua de limón: aplicación del método Core Danzaterapia con personas con VIH
Authors: Reyes Sánchez Jessica
Published: April 2020

Este trabajo presenta elementos de la investigación que realicé sobre los beneficios de la danzaterapia en un grupo de personas con VIH.1 El objetivo fue analizar las transformaciones en la percepción corporal que experimentan las personas con VIH a través de la danzaterapia. Se realizaron observaciones etnográficas de las sesiones de danza terapéutica, además de entrevistas en profundidad para conocer los probables cambios emocionales y corporales que las y los asistentes a las sesiones han percibido a través del movimiento corporal. Entre los resultados obtenidos se observa que un grupo de personas con VIH, han reflexionado sobre su relación con el cuerpo antes y después de adquirir el virus, e incluso han resuelto emociones reprimidas. Y también a través del movimiento han logrado crear nuevas formas de relacionarse con cuerpo y con su entorno.
Las emociones del cuerpo con especial referencia a la psicosis. Lectura de una experiencia con mirada antropológica
Authors: Yépez Vásquez Rosaura
Published: April 2020

Este estudio es resultado de una lectura experiencial con adolescentes que han vivido episodios de depresión, ansiedad y en particular de psicosis, teniendo como objetivo de discusión el ser humano como unidad bio-psico-social. En tal sentido se formula el problema a investigar: ¿Qué factores originaron las alteraciones psicoemocionales en los adolescentes de este estudio, y qué métodos se utilizaron en el tratamiento psiquiátrico y psicoterapéutico?, ¿Por qué ciertas alteraciones psicoemocionales en adolescentes son diagnosticadas como psicosis de carácter biológico, siendo que pueden ser de presencia exógena? Se revisan algunos métodos curativos desde el enfoque psiquiátrico de Carl Jung, el método psicoterapéutico simbólico de Sechehaye, un método cristiano de sanación, en pacientes diagnosticados psiquiátricamente con “esquizofrenia”. Finalmente, se narra y explica la historia particular de un adolescente diagnosticado con esquizofrenia /fobia social y su tratamiento. Se finaliza parcialmente este estudio con una perspectiva antropológica.
Reconfiguración del cuerpo en la danza mediada por redes telemáticas
Authors: Sánchez Aguilar Rebeca
Published: April 2020

Al cuerpo lo entiendo como un territorio simbólico de enigmas históricos en los cuales cada expresión corporal articula un paradigma entre su experiencia y el contexto. Este proyecto de investigación académica, analiza los efectos fenomenológicos que se generan en la danza cuando está mediada por sistemas de red. Para el efecto, la indago desde un enfoque interdisciplinario con el objetivo de detectar sus cualidades disciplinarias, sociales y tecnológicas en las cuales están presentes la situación cultural, el movimiento y las manifestaciones dancísticas; todas ellas en su respectivo contexto socio-histórico porque solo en él se perciben los ejercicios y/o prácticas escénicas y sociales. El estudio de caso consistió en una obra interdisciplinaria telemática de la que formé parte tanto, en los aspectos creativos, como administrativos y tecnológicos. Para este proyecto, ya en calidad de investigadora, mantendré las distancias y aproximaciones a la experiencia de caso según convenga al proceso de investigación.
Financial auditing benefits: Perspective of the SME in Celaya, Guanajuato
Authors: Lozano Montero Eva , Godínez López Roberto , Albor Guzmán Saúl Manuel
Published: April 2020

Financial auditing has been considered a reliability tool in resource management, although it has generated distrust due to its shortcomings. The objective of this research is to analyze the perception of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) regarding the benefits generated by financial auditing as a tool for competitiveness. Using an interpretative and transversal method, some factors were identified such as the existence of a relationship between the conceptualization of auditing and the fear of its applicability, as well as a tendency to confuse the term financial audit with fiscal audit. Results suggest that when the SME are aware about the benefits of financial audit and its differences with fiscal audit, they value it and are more willing to voluntarily obtain substantial benefits that contribute to business management. In addition, the company owner’s academic studies and the age of the organization significantly influence in the willingness to have a financial audit.

Published: April 2020

This study focuses on the effect of three types of powder polymer (polycarboxylate superplasticizer) in term of setting time of cement, workability, density, and compressive strength of concrete until 28 days of curing. The percentage of the polymer ranged between 0 to 0.25 % (by dry weight of cement). Slump and compressive strength results of concrete modified with polymers were compared with the fresh and hardened properties of cement replacement with silica fume (SF) used in the literature. Based on the statistical analysis, the range of SF used in different research studies varied between 0 and 25 %. The initial water-to-cement ratio (w/c) was 0.60 and decreased gradually to 0.46 with an increase in the polymer contents. The compressive strength of concrete modified with only 0.25 % of polymers increased by 24 to 97 % based on the types of polymer, polymer content, w/c, and curing time. A nonlinear model (NLM) was used to model the compressive strength of concrete modified with three types of the polymer and SF; the compressive strength of modified concrete was modeled as a function of polymer content, w/c, and time of curing. Based on the NLM parameters, it was found that the polymers are more effective than SF in improving the workability and compressive strength of concrete.

Published: April 2020

Developing metacognitive skills is a prominent objective in the education field. Several institutions use the skills to facilitate students’ thinking processes. This study aims to overcome student misconceptions in energetic materials by implementing teaching materials based on metacognitive skills. Several studies have shown that metacognitive skills have played a role in reducing misconceptions through the process of problem-solving in science learning. The subjects of this research are students majoring in chemistry at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. Students’ conception status is determined by the result of a conception test equipped with the Certainty of Response Index. With descriptive analysis techniques, results indicated that students who had the potential misconceptions status at the beginning had experienced self-actualization: (1) the number of students who have “the right concept” is more than those who “do not know the concept” and have “misconceptions,” and (2) the number of students who have status least misconception. Based on the results of the study, the implementation of metacognitive skills-based teaching materials can overcome student misconceptions in energetic material.

Published: April 2020

The purpose of the study was to know the relationship of population density with DHF cases and determine the fluctuation in dengue fever cases in the Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency in 2008-2014. The population in this study was all DHF cases had recorded by the Public Health Office of Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency in 2014-2018, obtained from DHF cases data and population density data. The data were analyzed using spatial analysis with ArcGIS and linear correlation analysis. The results showed the highest average DHF cases is in Kandangan Subdistrict with 471 cases in 2014-2018. The study showed the relation betweenDHF cases with population density was DHF cases (r) is 0.891, while the Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, so the incidence of DHF cases is significant. Spatial analysis showed that the highest DHF cases happened in the area with a high population density. The use of Geographic Information Systems is expected to facilitate government in reduce cases of DHF in Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency. The preventions that can be made are eradication of mosquito nests, periodic larvae checks, and health education so that dengue fever cases can decrease especially in densely populated areas and special education for DHF in schools. This research also can be used as a reference for better regular preventive counseling models by health workers in communities such as government agencies, regional residents and schools.

Published: April 2020

Background: In candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), preoperative computed tomography (CT) may detect clinically relevant non-cardiac findings. In particular, when malignant findings are detected, patients may be less likely to undergo the procedure. Additionally, they might require further examinations, which may prolong their time to treatment. We investigated how malignant findings affect candidacy for TAVI.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, 98 patients with severe aortic stenosis who had undergone preoperative CT between September 2013 and October 2016 were evaluated for malignant findings.
Results: Seven patients (7.1%) had malignant findings. 74 of 91 patients who did not have malignant findings underwent TAVI, SAVR, or balloon aortic valvuloplasty (81.3%). All patients who had malignant findings underwent TAVI or SAVR, and they underwent the procedure sooner after CT than the rest of the patients (mean time to TAVI or SAVR: 24.6 ± 16.8 versus 48.5 ± 45.4 days; P = .003). All 5 patients who had malignant findings without metastatic cancer and who underwent TAVI were still alive during the follow-up period (the mean duration of the follow-up period was 22.3 ± 8.8 months). However, 1 patient who had a malignant finding with metastatic cancer died 7 months after CT.
Conclusion: Our outcomes indicated that the mean duration before TAVI or SAVR was reduced when malignant findings were detected by CT; and TAVI may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with aortic stenosis and a malignant tumor.

Authors: Fujii Masahiro , Nishina Dai , Bessho Ryuzo
Published: April 2020

Background: To investigate the association between preoperative pulmonary function evaluations and surgical outcomes of patients with chronic lung disease following cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated 148 patients using preoperative pulmonary function tests before undergoing cardiac surgery. Patients were divided into 4 groups (normal, obstructive, restrictive, and combined disorder), based on the result of the pulmonary function tests. Additionally, we evaluated the percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Finally, we investigated the mechanical ventilation duration, length of postoperative hospital stay, and the 30-day mortality rate between the groups in each study.
Results: The mechanical ventilation duration and length of postoperative hospital stay in the combined group was significantly longer than that in the other groups (P < .0001, P < .0001, respectively). Patients in the restrictive group had a significantly longer postoperative ventilation or hospitalization than those in the normal group (P = .0479, P = .0164, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in the 30-day mortality rates between the groups. There also was a significant negative correlation between the percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second and mechanical ventilation (R2 = 0.052, P = .0054) and postoperative hospitalization (R2 = 0.042, P = .0122).
Conclusion: Risk stratification by preoperative pulmonary function tests may be used to accurately identify the postoperative outcomes in chronic lung disease patients following cardiac surgery.

Published: April 2020

LRRK2 mutations cause Parkinson’s, but the molecular link from increased kinase activity to pathological neurodegeneration remains undetermined. Previous in vitro assays indicate that LRRK2 substrates include at least 8 Rab GTPases. We have now examined this hypothesis in vivo in a functional, electroretinogram screen, expressing each Rab with/without LRRK2-G2019S in selected Drosophila dopaminergic neurons. Our screen discriminated Rab10 from Rab3. The strongest Rab/LRRK2-G2019S interaction is with Rab10; the weakest with Rab3. Rab10 is expressed in a different set of dopaminergic neurons from Rab3. Thus, anatomical and physiological patterns of Rab10 are related. We conclude that Rab10 is a valid substrate of LRRK2 in dopaminergic neurons in vivo. We propose that variations in Rab expression contribute to differences in the rate of neurodegeneration recorded in different dopaminergic nuclei in Parkinson’s.
Levels of Heterochiasmy DuringArabidopsisDevelopment as Reported by Fluorescent Tagged Lines

Crossing over, the exchange of DNA between the chromosomes during meiosis, contributes significantly to genetic variation. The rate of crossovers (CO) varies depending upon the taxon, population, age, external conditions, and also, sometimes, between the sexes, a phenomenon called heterochiasmy. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the male rate of all crossover events (mCO) is typically nearly double the female rate (fCO). A previous, PCR-based genotyping study has reported that the disparity decreases with increasing parental age, because fCO rises while mCO remains stable. We revisited this topic using a fluorescent tagged lines approach to examine how heterochiasmy responded to parental age in eight genomic intervals distributed across the organism’s five chromosomes. We determined recombination frequency for, on average, more than 2000 seeds, for each interval, for each of four age groups, to estimate sex-specific CO rates. mCO did not change with age, as reported previously, but, here, fCO did not rise, and thus the levels of heterochiasmy were unchanged. We can see no methodological reason to doubt that our results reflect the underlying biology of the accessions we studied. The lack of response to age could perhaps be due to previously reported variation in CO rate among accessions of Arabidopsis.
