OBJECTIVE

Respiratory infections are a major cause of hospitalization in children with tracheostomies, contributing significantly to hospital expenses. Limited data exist to describe optimal diagnostic strategies or management recommendations for these infections. This study aimed to explore factors associated with antibiotic therapy, including usage, administration route, duration, variables influencing the decision to prescribe antibiotics, and outcomes in children with tracheostomies experiencing episodes of respiratory infection other than pneumonia (tracheobronchitis and nonspecific respiratory episodes [NSRE]).

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the medical records of 83 children who underwent tracheostomy and received treatment at a tertiary hospital from 2010 to 2021.

RESULTS

A total of 164 episodes of tracheobronchitis and 98 episodes of NSRE were analyzed. Children with tracheobronchitis were more frequently treated with antibiotics: 75% in nonhospitalized cases and 76% in hospitalized cases. In NSRE, antibiotic prescription dropped to 40% and 29%, respectively. Out of 51 tracheobronchitis and 15 NSRE initially treated with oral antibiotics, a switch to intravenous administration was deemed necessary in only 7 tracheobronchitis cases (14%). Fever was significantly associated with antibiotic prescription in tracheobronchitis and NSRE, regardless of hospitalization status. Two children died within the 28-day period following the onset of tracheobronchitis symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS

Many cases identified as tracheobronchitis, along with a greater number of NSRE cases, resolved without requiring antibiotics. Although fever was associated with increased antibiotic prescription, it does not necessarily indicate severity. Therefore, careful consideration should be given before prescribing antibiotics, especially in febrile cases, to avoid unnecessary treatments.

Authors: Kudas Dawid , Wnęk Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Active geodetic networks currently perform many important tasks, including supporting satellite measurements with relative methods (e,g. Real Time Kinematic, Network Real Time Kinematic). For this reason, the geometries of reference station networks should meet certain standards both in terms of optimal distances between the reference stations as well as their spatial distribution. The paper presents a spatial analysis of the TPI NETpro commercial active geodetic network and a comparison of the obtained geometric parameters with the values calculated in relation to the national ASG-EUPOS network. Voronoi polygonization (also known as Dirichlet tessellation) and Delaunay triangulation were applied to assess the geometric dependence of the location of reference stations, while the nearest neighbour analysis was used to determine the degree of clustering of reference stations. The conducted analyses showed that the analysed network of TPI NETpro reference stations is characterised by a geometry similar to the national network ASG-EUPOS. The average distance between the neighbouring stations of the TPI NETpro network, expressed as the average length of the sides of Delaunay triangles built on this network, is 64.93 km, while the analysis of the nearest neighbour showed an average distance between stations of 41.97 km. The average distance connecting the TPI NETpro network points with the nearest neighbour from the ASG-EUPOS network is 25.20 km, and 41.06 km in the case of the three nearest neighbours. It has also been demonstrated that the ASG-EUPOS network points are more dispersed than the TPI NETpro network points.

Authors: Khallef Boubaker /
Published: December 2024

The main objective of this study is to show which of the LST-NDVI and LST-NDBI relationships can determine the most accurate index that can be used as an indicator of the effects of urban heat islands in the municipality of Guelma, using Landsat data. 8 OLI/TIRS and the geographic information system. The application of the calculation formulas made it possible to extract the Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built up Index (NDBI) of the municipality of Guelma for the four seasons of 2019. This calculation led to the determination of the relationship between all three indicators. The results obtained show a strong correlation between the LST and the NDBI for the four seasons of the year. They suggest that the NDBI is an accurate indicator of the heat island effect in Guelma. This indicator can serve as a tool for future urban planning by those in charge of this department. However, there is currently and urgent need to strengthen strategies for reducing the effects of urban heat islands in order to preserve the quality of urban life of the inhabitants and by setting up emergency programs.
An attempt to apply management methods to the cost optimisation of modular construction
Authors: Papież Renata , Błachut Jakub
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, many management methods are used in the implementation of investment processes. Their common attribute is optimising the total cost of implementing an investment
project by reducing all types of costs at each stage of the process. This is particularly important if the investment process is very complex since it is implemented according to the idea of modular construction. The aim of this study is to identify those modern management methods that improve the investment process by leading to the optimisation of the costs involved. These methods refer to the management process of the investment project (Agile Scrum Method, Kanban Method, Lean Construction Method) or directly to the management of the costs generated by the project (Activity-Based Costing). Together these methods will contribute to optimising the total cost of the project. Moreover, their applicability means they can be directly implemented or modified in any investment project that utilises modular construction. The features of the mentioned methods were identified and adapted to the specificity and requirements of the investment process in modular construction using the desk research method. As a result, it has been noticed that the use of management methods such as Agile Scrum, Lean Construction and ABC are crucial in the implementation of modular construction projects due to their ability to streamline processes, increase cost and time efficiency, and enable flexibility in the event of changing requirements.
The use of artificial intelligence methods for analyzing images obtained through low-altitude photogrammetry technology to calculate the volume of mass in open-pit mines
Authors: Mikrut Slawomir
Published: December 2024

Measurements using drones have enabled significant changes in inventorying and monitoring mining areas. Drone-based measurements can be faster and more accurate [Mazurek 2018]. Aerial photographs taken with drones allow the surveying department in mines to accurately represent the photographed terrain and make precise measurements, which can be used, among other things, to calculate the volume of mass. The aim of the article is to present the results of research on the automated process of acquiring and processing photogrammetric data for the purpose of calculating mass volumes. As part of the research, an algorithm based on classical methods and deep learning was developed.
AGH, in collaboration with the Silesian University of Technology and 3D Format company from Gliwice, has developed a system for automated volumetric measurements based on low-altitude photogrammetry using non-metric photos and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to provide cyclical volume measurement services on the Polish market. The idea of the system is to acquire data automatically, then provide the data in the cloud, maximize measurement automation, and provide results in near real-time. The entire process is to be conducted using software available through the website. The project was divided into several stages; in this publication, I want to focus on the automation of the measurement of surveying points.

Fragmentation efficiency is important concerned in mining and quarrying as it effects on the productivity of different mining operations. Various parameters effect on the quality of the fragmentation. However, this research was aimed to study the effect of powder factor, burden and spacing on the blasting fragmentation in the Djebel Bouzegza C01 quarry, Boumerdes, Algeria. For the evaluation of the average size fragment, it had been used the processing image Split Desktop (P50) and compared with the results of the predictive model Kuz Ram (X50). The highest values of X50 (680.00 mm) and P50 (645.45 mm) were recorded when the largest values of (burden × spacing) that were (4.5 m × 4.5 m) and in the smallest value of the powder factor which was 0.20 kg · m–3. The Fragmentation Indicator FI gives the affectedness of the Kuz Ram Model. After plotting the results on 3D surface, it has improved the results of the average size when the burden will be less than 3.70 m and the powder factor will be less than 0.64 kg · m–3 while to minimized the percentile of oversize fragments, it was obtained that the burden will be less than 3.70 mm, otherwise the powder factor was more than 0.30 kg · m–3. Blast design parameters and the powder factor are therefore important variables in improving the results of blast fragmentation.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, there has been a common use of automatic precipitation mapping based on various interpolation methods. Based on multiple linear regression, the study primarily focuses on the entire Cheliff basin (43 750 km²), to search a suitable model for mapping mean annual precipitation based on 89 rainfall stations of the observed series (1968/69–2001/2002). Then conducts on the upper part of Cheliff basin downstream the Boughzoul dam (4777 km²) using 11 rainfall stations of annual precipitation series relative to the period 1982/83–2020/2021. The same approach was used to map median annual precipitations and quantiles of rain associated with the return periods of 5 and 10 years, representing both wet and dry periods. Indeed, this work is based on the backward elimination method between the observed annual precipitation and four predictors: smoothed altitude (Zs), longitude (X), latitude (Y) and distance from the sea (D). The model’s results are satisfactory with a global correlation coefficient for both regional (R = 0,89) and local scale (R > 0,81). The final maps obtained are produced after interpolating by kriging the residuals. The median annual precipitation map was compared to that elaborated by the National Hydraulic Resources Agency (ANRH). The comparison results of 2296 nodes of the grid covering the Upper Cheliff basin showed negative deviations on average - 10% and reaching - 34% in northern area reflecting a dry trend in precipitation. The final grids of rainfall can be integrated into Geographical Information Systems related to many sectors including water management and climate change.

Authors: Hadjhafsi Lahcene , Benaissa Fateh Toufik , Redjem Ali , Derradji Kadri
Published: December 2024

Algeria is a country that has witnessed rapid development as a result of its abundant oil supplies. The country’s GDP to energy consumption ratio clearly shows the need to adopt energy efficiency policies. Taking into account the regulation of excess solar radiation in the desert environment, this study examines the relationship between the shape of different buildings and their energy use. This research was divided into two stages. In the first stage, the ideal building shape for the city of Adrar, in terms of energy consumption, was determined by studying three basic geometric shapes, including square, rectangular, and triangle shapes. According to simulation research conducted using Design Builder (version 6.1.0), a square building was the best shape to maximize energy performance. To analyze the thermal behavior of different building shapes, all structures with expanded shapes were simulated based on the ideal shape discovered in the first stage. Of the three extended alternative cases, the case of the Mini Arrival offers the best energy efficiency and sufficient natural lighting thanks to its 90 cm depth and no vertical offset from the top of the window. By adding design principles to the design process, this study helps improve the energy efficiency of new buildings and also gives another angle on research methods for solving energy performance issues regarding desert buildings.
Nowa Huta – between the countryside and the city. Part 2. Economic and political transformation, and a new perspective on Nowa Huta’s place in the landscape of Małopolska
Authors: Chłosta-Sikorska Agnieszka , Sikorski Szymon
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to give an insight into the phenomenon of Nowa Huta, which has been one of Krakow’s districts since 1951, although in 1949 it was planned as a separate city. Particular emphasis in this part is placed on the realisation of the potential of the XVIII District after the changes in the political and economic system that took place between 1945 and 1989. One of the ideas of Tadeusz Ptaszycki, the chief architect of Nowa Huta, was to implement the principles of the ideal city and garden city, i.e. a city with small, low-density buildings and a predominance of green areas. However, industrialisation happened so quickly that it nearly led to the extinction of many plant and animal species. Fortunately, the development did not invade the Nowohucka Meadows, allowing residents to enjoy the benefits of this unique natural site. In 2023, Nowa Huta was declared a historical monument, which gives it additional protection from poorly thoughtout investments and supports the development of cultural tourism, historical education, and the creation of cultural trails. Krakow is also covered by a sustainable tourism policy, which supports its cultural heritage and protects the natural environment. The principles adopted combine the needs of tourists with conscious consumption and long-term planning that takes into account ecological solutions and the comfort of residents in accordance with the ‘respect Krakow’ motto. It is also important to engage the local community and visitors in spreading the message about Krakow on social media, for example by using the hashtag ‘#krakow’.
The geography of retail trade and services in Annaba’s city, Algeria
Authors: Touaibia Nawel , Telaidjia Djamel
Published: December 2024

Annaba, a metropolitan city, has experienced the evolution and mutation of its commercial establishments over the last few decades. A phenomenon has upset the old center-periphery balance where the commercial offer is dominated by the phenomenon of centrality. This offer is very strong in the center and decreasing towards the periphery. From this perspective, the city of Annaba has experienced a massive migration of certain retail businesses, especially the food trade, from the center to the periphery, which has led to an important specialization, which differentiates its spaces. This paper proposes a methodological approach for analyzing commercial centralities in a compact town center. This paper is an attempt to analyze, in the form of a map, the results of a field survey carried out in 2021–2022 among retail traders, and the rationale behind the spatial reorganization of commercial units in this town. To this end, a number of indicators have been selected as relevant, in particular: residential location, consumer mobility conditions, and certain consumer practices and choices. Using Annaba’s case as a starting point, the aim is to assess the relevance of classic models of retail geography and to understand the new changes in the commercial fabric of Annaba’s inner city after several years of reconfiguration between the center and the periphery.
Collective residential neighbourhoods in Algeria: between reality and planning. A case study of the 800 Housing Units neighbourhood in Batna City
Authors: Barkat Zine Elabidine , Seghiri Djamel , Houbib Hanane
Published: December 2024

The housing problem, or housing crisis, affecting most Algerian cities has compelled political and executive authorities at all levels (central, regional, and local) to adopt numerous housing policies aimed at reducing the significant gap between the two sides of the housing equation (high demand – low supply). Additionally, the challenge of providing housing units to realize all planned housing projects troubles local officials. Therefore, there has been a trend towards prioritizing collective housing projects to rationalize property consumption and enhance the real estate portfolio of local communities. Batna city has had its share of these collective housing programs, and our research paper focused on its deteriorating reality due to numerous changes affecting both the built and unbuilt environment. This has led to a decline in the quality of life in these neighbourhoods, prompting the intervention of relevant authorities to launch ‘urban improvement’ projects to rectify the imbalances recorded in the urban aspect of most collective residential neighbourhoods, including the 800 Housing Units neighbourhood (800-Unit Neighbourhood) as a good example. The process has been initiated to stop the aforementioned area from a deteriorating and elevate it from poor condition to a better, if not ideal, situation. In conclusion, we recommend that urban laws be activated to halt any illegal alterations or modifications, and above all, that design aspect of collective housing units during the planning phase be considered to align with residents’ preferences before the latter occupy them and make changes, thereby avoiding visual pollution with urban concepts.

Published: December 2024

Since water and high temperature are significant variables that control the strength of deep rock formations, it is vital for deep geological engineering to explore the mechanical behavior of reservoir rock under conditions of hydrothermal cycling. For deep sandstone samples that have undergone different hydrothermal cycles, a series of examinations, consisting of scanning electron microscopy, uniaxial compression, and nuclear magnetic resonance, were performed in this study to evaluate the mechanical properties and pore structure features. Moreover, the effect of hydrothermal cycles on the mechanical characteristics and microstructure of deep sandstone is investigated in this study. The results show that as the hydrothermal cycles progress, the micropore of the sandstone samples continues to increase, while mesopore and macropore show a decreasing trend, overall indicating an increase in porosity. Under the action of thermal stress and water-rock interaction, the fractal dimension of sandstone pores gradually decreases, indicating that the hydrothermal cycle reduces the complexity of pores. With an increase in cycles, the elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength of sandstone decreased to varying degrees. The damage variable Dn, defined based on the elastic modulus, quantitatively reflects the evolution of sandstone resistance to deformation with the micropore structure to a certain extent. The modulus of elasticity parameter of sandstone decreases significantly as the damage variable Dn increases. The evolution of pore structure and mechanical damage patterns in sandstone show a firm consistency. The water-rock interaction and thermal stress damage primarily influences the damage to sandstone. The findings of this study can provide theoretical guidance for the safe and efficient development of deep geothermal resources.

A critical bone tissue engineering (BTE) strategy is fabricating porous scaffolds using simple and straightforward techniques. However, all porous structures share a common drawback – reduced strength due to porosity. Furthermore, bone scaffolds are vulnerable to bacterial infections when implanted, especially in compromised bone conditions. In this study, baghdadite (BAGH) scaffolds were developed and coated with gelatin (Gel)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-azithromycin (AZM) with suitable porosity (75%–80%) and pore size (600–800 μm) using the space holder method, combined with a dip coating process in a low vacuum condition. The outcomes revealed that incorporating the Gel-RGO layer increased the compressive strength from 0.8 to 2.9 MPa for the Gel-RGO-AZM scaffolds. The scaffolds coated with Gel-RGO-AZM demonstrated improved bioactivity compared with their uncoated counterparts, showcasing the ability to generate hydroxyapatite-like crystals after a 28-day soaking period in simulated body fluid. In vitro studies validated the antimicrobial effectiveness of co-released RGO and AZM from Gel-RGO-AZM-coated scaffolds against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Moreover, the coated scaffolds exhibited significantly improved cellular responses. In conclusion, the research results show that the developed BAGH scaffolds coated with Gel-RGO-AZM are promising materials for BTE, offering enhanced compressive strength, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and antibacterial performance.

Published: December 2024

In this article, studies have been conducted to reduce the overflight of sand by roads and railways in desert areas, and to increase the resistance of the sand surface to deflation, wind and water erosion. In order to improve the balance of the transport infrastructure and increase the dynamics of activity, some binders have been obtained. The resulting binder (HYPANE) based on hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile is produced by Navoiazot JSC, and SKM-1 based on phosphogypsum waste is produced by Maxam-Ammophos JSC and SKM-2 based on phosphorized lignosulfonate. A polymer binder additive was sprayed onto the sand surface in different concentrations and the wind resistance of the resulting protective layer on the sand surface in a wind tunnel proposed by Froude was investigated. The established experiments revealed the maximum value of the required plastic strength (Рm ≥ 2.5‒2.7 kPa) of the protective coating, the consumption of hardening polymer solutions to achieve this strength (l/m2 ). The optimal consumption of the binder SKM1 is 4 l/m2 . For the binder SKM-2, it was 2‒3 l/m2 , and for the HYPANE solution 5 l/m2 . Due to changes in the humidity of the synthesized binders on the surface of the sand, the process of absorption and hydration of the binders SKM-1 and SKM-2 in the sand-water system occurs. Thus, a durable material has been obtained, which has a positive effect on the formation of a dense protective layer on the sand surface.
Point defects in complex inorganic compounds, spinel inverted, Kirkendall ‒ Frenkel effects
Authors: Belyakov A. V.
Published: December 2024

New technologies require new materials. One of the ways to find such materials are normal, reversed and partially reversed materials, which are used in spinels. Some such compounds are considered in oxygen-containing spinels, in particular, magnetic materials. Spinel inversion often results in structural defects, including antistructural exchange of cations. The preparation of solid solutions in aluminamagnesia spinel and mullite, which are not presented in the phase diagram, but have a higher diffusion mass transfer coefficient during the synthesis of a complex oxide, is considered. For spinel it is MgO, for mullite it is SiO2. For this, additives and the Kirkendall ‒ Frenkel effect were used. So far, there is no complete certainty that these are not composites, in which a material with a high diffusion mass transfer coefficient is distributed in a matrix of the main complex oxide (MgO·Al2O3, or 3Al2O3·2SiO2). The application of these approaches can expand the scope of materials for various applications.

Changes in the structural properties of polycrystalline oxide La2O3 at heating it in air and in vacuum
Authors: Solovyeva A. E.
Published: December 2024

Changes in the phase’s structure of polycrystalline La2O3 upon heating in air and vacuum have been established. For the ﬁrst time, on La2O3 samples after annealing in the range 700‒1900 оC in air, the microstructure of a monoclinic phase of type B and a hexagonal phase of type A with the presence of texture was obtained. For the ﬁrst time, after annealing La2O3 samples at 1900 °C in air, the formation of loops and screw dislocations on La2O3‒х grains was discovered, through which the evaporation of crystals of diﬀerent colors and the decomposition of hexagonal phase grains into cubic phase crystals of type F with an fcc lattice and type C with a bcc lattice occurred. For the ﬁrst time, it has been theoretically substantiated and experimentally conﬁrmed that heating lanthanum oxide samples at 1750 and 1900 °C leads to the decomposition of the hexagonal phase of type A with the presence of texture into two cubic phases: type F with the content of anionic vacancies and a crystal lattice parameter a = 0.5677 nm (Fm3m) and type C containing color centers and a = 1.14838 nm (Ia3). The refractive indices of these phases were determined. The energy of formation of anion vacancies in the lattice of the hexagonal phase of type A is calculated and the critical concentration of anion vacancies leading to the decomposition of this phase is determined.

Pay Raise for Teachers in Bhutan: Impacts on Teachers’ Morale, Motivation and Professional Practices
Authors: Gyeltshen Tashi
Published: December 2024

The study explored the Bhutanese education stakeholders’ perceptions of the impacts of the pay raise on teachers’ morale, motivation and professional practices. Pay is among the most important factors for teachers’ morale, motivation and professional practices. The study collected quantitative data through questionnaires from 701 teachers and qualitative data through four focus group interviews with teachers and one-on-one interviews with four principals and one officer from the Ministry of Education. The findings revealed that teachers are partially happy with the pay revision. While teachers agreed that the pay raise has made their lives more comfortable and financially secure, the study pointed out that pay increase alone cannot raise teachers’ morale and motivation and improve their professional practices. Other equally important factors include facilities, training opportunities, school environment, workload and school leadership. The study recommends that the government adopt a holistic approach that will raise the morale, motivation, and professional practice of teachers and ensure the achievement of quality education in the country.
"Locating Meister Eckhart's Interpretation in Indonesia": A Dialogue between Modern Biblical Interpretation and Spiritual Interpretation of Ecclesiastes 10:5-7
Authors: Kalampung Yan Okhtavianus
Published: December 2024

This article presents a compelling case for the transformative potential of Meister Eckhart's spiritual interpretation in the context of Indonesian biblical studies. It sets out to accomplish two primary objectives. First, the article conducts a thorough analysis of Eckhart's distinct spiritual interpretation, positioning it in dialogue with contemporary biblical methodologies. Second, it leverages Hans Georg Gadamer's concept of 'fusion of horizons' alongside Paul Ricoeur's 'phenomenological interpretation' framework to appropriate Eckhart's insights in the Indonesian context. Methodologically, the article examines Eccl 10:5-7 through the lens of modern biblical interpretative approaches including historical-critical and literary-critical perspectives. It then contrasts these with Eckhart's spiritual interpretation via a dialogical analysis. The culmination of this study is the application of Eckhart's interpretive strategies to Indonesian biblical interpretation, guided by the theoretical underpinnings of Gadamer and Ricoeur. The ultimate goal is to enrich Indonesian biblical studies, emphasising spiritual formation grounded in Eckhart's teachings.
Vers le paradigme des archives d’artistes et d’écrivains
Authors: BUGNONE Ana
Published: December 2024

Ce chapitre propose une méthode de travail et de recherche sur les archives artistiques et littéraires, appelée le paradigme de l'archive. Deux dimensions sont analysées : l'épistémico-archivistique et la poïétique. La première est basée sur l'approche d'investigation, d'interprétation et d'archivage des archives d'artistes et d'écrivains. La seconde traite de l'aspect créatif de l'archive, en particulier de l'utilisation qu'en font les artistes et les écrivains dans la production de leurs œuvres. D'autre part, il analyse le cas particulier des archives de l'artiste Edgardo Antonio Vigo, situées à La Plata (Argentine), et les processus de numérisation, d'accessibilité et de démocratisation mis en œuvre dans cette institution.

Cet article réfléchit à deux façons de montrer et de diffuser les archives de Manuel Puig : un livre album et un site web. Nous proposons des manières de présenter des archives d'un écrivain qui, en tant que telles, ont tendance à disposer une structure organisationnelle singulière, car il s'agit de fonds dont la systématisation est difficile. L'activité d'un écrivain a les particularités de ses pratiques, de ses manières de faire et de ses conceptions personnelles. Nous proposons de montrer l'Archive Puig en considérant le matériel non seulement à partir de sa textualité mais aussi de sa visualité. Autrement dit, tant à partir de son codage textuel que de sa dimension de surface plastique. Ces matérialités sont abordées à partir de l'arrangement visuel et de l'organisation spatiale de l'information, une approche qui convoque des paradigmes de lecture et propose des règles de construction différentes tout en donnant lieu à des disruptions hétérogènes.

El presente escrito plantea una reflexión sobre dos maneras de mostrar y difundir el Archivo Manuel Puig: un libro álbum y un sitio web. Se proponen formas de presentar un archivo de escritor que, como tal, suele tener una estructura organizativa singular, al tratarse de fondos de difícil sistematización debido a que la actividad de un escritor posee las particularidades de sus prácticas, modos de hacer y concepciones personales. En esta oportunidad, la propuesta es mostrar el Archivo Puig de otra forma, desde otro lugar, considerando el material no solo desde su textualidad sino también desde su visualidad, tanto desde su codificado textual como desde su dimensión como superficie plástica. Tales materialidades se abordan desde la disposición visual y la organización espacial de la información, planteo que convoca distintos paradigmas de lectura y proponen diferentes reglas de construcción a la vez que permiten diversos modos de disrupción.
Tensions autour des archives dans les bibliothèques

Published: December 2024

Depuis quelque temps, on observe un intérêt, chaque fois plus grand pour les archives et les papiers personnels de figures célèbres de la culture. Dans les bibliothèques, ce « tournant archivistique » conduit à une remise en question des pratiques et des politiques face à ce type de documents qui, en général et pour diverses raisons, sont fréquemment mis de côté, dans l'attente d'un meilleur moment pour qu'on s'occupe d'eux. On considère, alors, au sein de ces unités d'information, une série de tensions, liées au traitement de fonds archivistiques, ce qui génère le besoin d'un dialogue interdisciplinaire entre l'archivistique et la bibliothécologie, visant à questionner les pratiques et à explorer les procédés qui permettent de rendre visible ces fonds occultes.
En ce sens, en tant que professionnels de l'information, dans notre double fonction de préserver les archives mais en même temps - et par-dessus tout- de les rendre visibles, nous avons commencé par nous demander où sont les archives. À partir de cet intérêt, et dans le cadre de divers projets de recherche, nous avons démarré notre travail avec Orbescrito : cartografía latinoamericana de archivos de escritores, en essayant de rendre visible des fonds documentaires qui se trouvent éparpillés. Ce chemin nous a aussi conduits à réfléchir sur les politiques et les pratiques nécessaires pour les archives dans les bibliothèques, une réflexion non dépourvue de tensions, que nous espérons partager avec les lecteurs.
Tensiones en torno al archivo en las bibliotecas

De un tiempo a esta parte se observa un interés cada vez más creciente por los archivos y papeles personales de figuras destacadas de la cultura. En las bibliotecas, este “giro archivístico” lleva a un replanteamiento acerca de las prácticas y políticas frente a este tipo de documentos que, en general y por diversas razones, suelen quedar apartados a la espera de un mejor momento para ocuparse de ellos. Se plantean entonces, en el seno de estas unidades de información, una serie de tensiones vinculadas al tratamiento de fondos archivísticos, lo que genera la necesidad de un diálogo interdisciplinar entre la archivística y la bibliotecología, tendiente a cuestionar prácticas y explorar procedimientos que posibiliten visibilizar esos fondos ocultos.
En ese sentido, como profesionales de la información, en nuestra doble función de preservar el archivo pero a la vez -y por sobre todo- hacerlo visible, comenzamos por preguntarnos dónde están los archivos. A partir de esta inquietud, y en el marco de diversos proyectos de investigación, iniciamos el trabajo con Orbescrito: cartografía latinoamericana de archivos de escritores, intentando dar visibilidad a fondos documentales que se encuentran dispersos. Este camino nos ha conducido también a reflexionar sobre las políticas y prácticas necesarias para los archivos en las bibliotecas, una reflexión no carente de tensiones, que esperamos compartir con los lectores.

Dans ce chapitre nous proposons une lecture de la genèse des histoires universelles d'art en tant que genre éditorial dans la modernité. Nous proposons également une réflexion sur le pouvoir de l'archive pour relire ce corpus aujourd'hui. À la lumière de différents apports théoriques, l'écriture de l'histoire universelle est caractérisée comme une forme de collection basée sur la sérialisation d'artefacts hétérogènes et la mise en forme de cette série en tant que totalité abstraite. Sur la base de la distinction analytique entre collection et archive, ce chapitre propose la construction d'une archive pour interroger d'autres temporalités occultées dans l'imaginaire que le livre d'histoire construit sur lui-même et pour enregistrer, en même temps, la manière dont ces temps effacés par l'écriture de l'histoire sont encore inscrits dans le corps des livres. À cette fin, nous étudions l'histoire génétique d'une brochure sur l'histoire de la peinture occidentale, publiée en 1967 à Buenos Aires par la maison d'édition Atlántida. Dans le cadre d'une réflexion plus large sur la transmission des modèles éditoriaux, dans toute histoire de l'art universel, se dessinent les vestiges d'un second genre : le livre de voyage.
Las revistas como aparatos de sensibilidad
Authors: STEDILE LUNA Verónica
Published: December 2024

Las escrituras críticas de las revistas Ciclo, A partir de cero, Poesía Buenos Aires y Letra y Línea, cuyas publicaciones se extendieron entre 1948 y 1960, se leen en el punto de intersección donde se encuentran las vanguardias artísticas del siglo XX, la historia de la crítica literaria argentina y la materialidad particular de las publicaciones periódicas. Estas tres dimensiones superpuestas señalan la imposibilidad de un abordaje que desconozca el carácter transtemporal del objeto. Mirar las escrituras críticas de esas revistas desde una política de archivo permitirá ver aquello que no se consolidó como tradición, sino que permanece suspendido en el curso ya conformado de las historias de las ideas y la literatura.
Ideas en torno al Archivo Saer
Authors: GONNET Víctor
Published: December 2024

Existe la creencia de que el único fin que se persigue al “desenterrar” los papeles de un escritor es el beneficio económico para un editor, una editorial o para los herederos del escritor. En el caso de los cuatro libros de los Borradores inéditos que editó Seix Barral, a su vez, tendrían los ánimos de engrosar una colección/biblioteca cuya continuidad había quedado trunca por la muerte del autor. Los réditos económicos que este trabajo pudieran reportarle no alcanzarían siquiera para pagar una mínima parte de las horas de trabajo invertidas por el equipo a cargo del archivo. ¿Qué finalidad tiene, entonces, la edición de los cuatro tomos del archivo Saer? ¿Por qué la lógica -digamos- empresarial de al menos dos instituciones privadas prestigiosas como la editorial Seix Barral y la Universidad de Princeton, junto con equipos de trabajo financiados en buena medida por capitales privados, pero también por fondos públicos como el CONICET, no se plantean dudas a la hora de publicar libros de carácter menor, ancilar, lateral o residual y, en la vereda “de enfrente”, la lógica -digamos- pública presenta tantos reparos ante la entrada de un inepto estudiante de literatura al universo de esos papeles inservibles? ¿Qué pasa para que aquellos que me permiten el acceso a las condiciones de producción de una escritura como la saereana sean una universidad estadounidense y una editorial transnacional y los profesores que me enseñan a leer literatura desde la universidad pública desdeñen por poco productiva la importancia de estos papeles? A partir de lo dicho, en este artículo se intentará desarticular algunos prejuicios.

O estudo aborda a relevância das metodologias ativas, destacando sua base inclusiva e aplicação nas escolas públicas. Investigou-se o papel dos jogos matemáticos no desenvolvimento do pensamento matemático em sala de aula, considerando fatores históricos e culturais. A pesquisa seguiu as cinco etapas: investigação, descoberta, conexão, criação e reflexão. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar como as  metodologias ativas, em especial o uso de jogos matemáticos, contribuem para o ensino e aprendizagem da matemática, promovendo uma educação mais inclusiva e participativa. A metodologia empregada envolveu revisão bibliográfica, observação em sala de aula e análise de dados qualitativos, permitindo compreender a dinâmica e os impactos das metodologias ativas no contexto escolar. Os jogos através da metodologia de  gamificação utilizaram Kahoot, a plataforma Genial.ly, para o Escape Room, e  metodologia ativa aprendizagem baseada em problemas (ABP), Os resultados com a proposta, indicaram que os jogos com metodologias ativas utilizando  gamificação e ABP, em matemática, quando integrados às práticas pedagógicas, estimulam o pensamento crítico, criatividade e resolução de problemas, favorecendo a aprendizagem dos alunos no ensino fundamental,  fortalecendo vínculos, contribuindo para a construção de conhecimento matemático.
Preliminary Results of the Value of Diagnostic and Operative Laparoscopy in the Assessment of Female Infertility in 33 Patients
Authors: Djelti Sihem , Benmoumen Yassine Mohammed
Published: December 2024

Infertility is defined as a disease of the female or male reproductive system; it is the inability to conceive a child after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It constitutes a real public health problem today due to its prevalence, the generalization of its distribution, and the difficulties inherent in its management. According to the World Health Organization, infertility affects 70 million people worldwide, with one in six couples facing primary or secondary infertility.
Algeria is not spared from this epidemic, more than 300,000 couples are unable to conceive a child naturally. This statistic translates to, approximately, between 10% and 12% of the targeted population. The main objective of this study is to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic value of laparoscopy in female infertility,
The methodology: the collection of patients was made over two years from 2021 to 2023, respecting the inclusion criteria (female infertility) and exclusion (any cause of uterine origin, male cause). We note that adhesions are the most frequent lesions, they are present in 44% of cases, tubal pathology is found in 31% of cases, ovarian dystrophy in 25% of cases, endometriosis in 41% of cases, and endometriotic cyst in 21% of cases.
The most commonly performed procedure is adhesiolysis in 23% of cases, cystectomy in 21% of cases, 10% fimbrioplasty, and 21% ovarian drilling.

Navigating Political Disagreement on Social Media: How Affective Responses and Belonging Influence Unfollowing and Unfriending
Authors: Zhang Bingbing , Shoenberger Heather
Published: December 2024

While recent research has demonstrated how exposure to cross-cutting political opinions intensifies politically motivated disconnectivity on social media, there has been a notable gap in examining the influence of emotions and psychological traits in this process. Guided by the theories of selective avoidance and affective intelligence, our study employed a survey through Qualtrics panel drawn from a population-matching sample (N = 498) of the US population to investigate how perceived political disagreement on social media affects decisions to unfollow and unfriend others through the induction of affective responses (e.g., anger, anxiety) and the role of psychological trait—need to belong. Controlling for demographics and political ideology, our mediation analysis revealed that perceived political disagreement was significantly related to anger, which was further positively associated with both unfollowing and unfriending on social media. Perceived political disagreement was also related to anxiety while anxiety was positively associated with individuals’ behaviors of unfollowing and unfriending. Furthermore, results showed that the need to belong played a significant role in moderating the relationship between perceived political disagreement and unfriending. When perceiving the same level of political disagreement, individuals with a higher need to belong were less likely to unfriend others on social media, compared to those with a lower need to belong. However, the need to belong did not exert a significant impact on how perceived political disagreement influenced unfollowing behavior. This study contributes to understanding the nuanced dynamics of disconnectivity on social media, particularly in navigating political disagreements.

This article presents changes to clinical guidelines for the treatment of metastatic colon cancer in 2024. The new provisions in the clinical guidelines are complemented by a brief overview of the research results that underlie them. The changes considered concern not only systemic antitumor treatment, but also surgery and molecular genetic diagnostics. The differences between the recommendations of RUSSCO and the Ministry of Health of Russia are given. The introduction of information to determine the clinical benefit of expensive therapeutic options in relation to the use of the ESMO-MCBS and RUSSCO-MCBS scales is discussed.

Aim. Bringing information to a wide range of readers on planned changes in clinical guidelines.
