Authors: Sharma Santosh Kumar , Prakash Praveen , Kalra Rupinder , Naeem Roshina , Jahan Aarzoo , Sarin Namrata , Singh Sompal
Published: May 2021

Objectives:

Fine-needle aspiration cytology is a useful diagnostic tool for soft-tissue lesions, which helps in further management of patient. Although, various soft-tissue lesions have preference for particular site of human body, yet usefulness/role of site in cytological diagnosis in the published literature is not very well highlighted. In this study, our aim was to analyze the location of soft-tissue lesions as encountered in cytology practice.

Material and Methods:

Details of soft-tissue lesions who underwent fine-needle aspiration in a period of 12 months were analyzed. Age, gender, and site of soft-tissue lesion were noted. All the soft-tissue cases were divided into two categories. Group 1 – soft-tissue lesions situated at elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand for upper extremities; and knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot for lower extremities. Group 2 – soft-tissue lesions occurring at other sites. Pearson’s Chi-square test and significance of difference between proportions were analyzed to assess the significance.

Results:

A total of 928 cases were reported over a period of 12 months. Soft-tissue lesions in Group 1 and Group 2 were 172 and 756 cases, respectively. All the soft-tissue lesions except ganglion cyst (GC) and giant cell tumor (GCT) of tendon sheath are more prevalent in Group 2. There was a statistically significant association (P < 0.001) between cytological diagnosis of soft-tissue lesion and site of lesion. The difference in occurrence of epidermal inclusion cyst, GC, and GCT of tendon sheath between Groups 1 and 2 was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

We found significant difference in occurrence of some of the soft-tissue lesion at distal extremity as compared to other location. This may be helpful in arriving at a proper cytological diagnosis.

The purpose of this study was to design a model for determining the agenda of electoral policies with a political marketing approach. This study is a qualitative research that has been performed using grounded theory method and Strauss and Corbin model, which is based on three stages of open, axial and selective coding. In this regard, in-depth interviews were conducted using theoretical snowball sampling with election experts, deputies, governors and university professors. The number of samples continued until the responses reached saturation (with 17 interviews). Data analysis was performed in three stages of open coding, axial coding, and electoral coding and then the intended model was explained based on the paradigm model of grounded theory. (Executive issues of the electoral institution, weakness of the party system, misunderstanding of political marketing and legal and supervisory problems) were identified as contextual factors, and the (cultural, political, economic) dimensions were identified as contextual factors from the perspective of research participants. Strategies are included in three dimensions: solving executive and supervisory problems, reforming the understanding of political marketing, strengthening the party system and the resulting consequences including upgrading the country’s party system, upgrading the country’s electoral system and the country’s political development.

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic, autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammatory insult and granulomatous processes in small and medium-sized vessels leading to various clinical presentations from underlying vasculitis. Underlying such inflammatory cascade is the overactivity of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (c-ANCA) targeting serum Proteinase 3 (PR3), whose aberrant targeting classically modulates molecular signaling pathways leading to clinical manifestations of the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), in addition to renal impairment. Peripheral vessel involvement (i.e. limb vasculature) is not generally associated with GPA. With the exception of seldom reports in the literature, it is rare for GPA to present with coronary artery involvement. Moreover, reports of multi-vessel disease (e.g. triple-vessel disease) with GPA warranting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) are lacking in such accounts. The latter with preceding iliac artery claudication makes such a presentation of GPA exceptionally novel and warrants contextual commentary regarding inflammation and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We report the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian male presenting with a 2 years history of right-sided groin cramping and an acute one-week history of claudication in the same area. After advised to follow up as an outpatient, this patient returned shortly thereafter to an acute care setting with hemoptysis and myocardial infarction worked up for GPA and triple-vessel disease. The patient was subsequently treated with immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy prior to CABG. We conducted a review of the literature underpinned in clinical and translational biology with a focus on the salient inflammatory pathways featured in both coronary artery disease and GPA.
Comparative docking of SARS-CoV-2 receptors antagonists from repurposing drugs
Authors: Lima de Oliveira Micael Davi , Teixeira de Oliveira Kelson Mota
Published: May 2021

Observations: This work is not conclusive and is only computational simulations. Under no circumstances should we extrapolate in silico studies into clinical practice, as it would violate medical ethics principles. The main conclusion was that some drugs can be classified as false positives as predicted on the Hit Dexter 2.0 platform. Our main example is ivermectin, where the probability of nonspecificity is extremely high, thus leading to hasty and erroneous conclusions.

SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh coronavirus to infect humans. Currently, there are no pharmacological treatments proven against COVID-19 or that may be of a broad spectrum to minimize the sequelae. This work aims to identify compounds or drugs already commercialized that may be supporting in the treatment of infectious conditions of COVID-19, parallel to the administration of vaccines. In this context, molecular docking simulations were carried out to understand which drugs are most effective in modulating a total of ten receptors, whether directly in viral, pro-inflammatory or central nervous system signaling, related to COVID-19. Subsequently, some results were validated through molecular dynamics simulations based on publicly available trajectory files. Among a total of 71 molecular docking simulations, the drug ledipasvir administered to patients with Hepatitis-C (HCV) was the most promising with a mean value ΔGº ≈ -10.3 kcal · mol-1 and a nonspecific probability according to neural networks of 0.21. Ivermectin, although it had an average affinity of -9.6 kcal · mol-1, was shown to be a ligand with a very expressive degree of nonspecificity of 0.93. When analyzing the atomic fluctuations of molecular dynamics, telaprevir stood out for the large number of rotational freedom in line with expressive RMSF fluctuations with a peak around 20 Å in the interaction with the Spike protein. Consequently, it was shown to be superior to the various anecdotally reported medications, such as nitazoxanide, and that due to the low mobility, the affinity was not so expressive due to the relative high fluctuations of 10 Å. Finally, these results seek to clarify from a theoretical point of view the interaction of numerous medications from viral signaling to the neuroinflammatory system.
The Temperature Dependence of Fundamental Photophysical Properties of [Eu(MeOH-d4)9]3+ Solvates and [Eu.DOTA(MeOH-d4)]- Complexes
Authors: Kofod Nicolaj , Nielsen Lea Gundorff , Sørensen Thomas Just
Published: May 2021

The trivalent lanthanide ions show optical transitions between energy levels within the 4f shell. All these transitions are formally forbidden according to the quantum mechanical selection rules used in molecular photophysics. Nevertheless, highly luminescent complexes can be achieved, and terbium(iii) and europium(iii) ions are particularly efficient emitters. This report started when an apparent lack of data in the literature led us to revisit the fundamental photophysics of europium(iii). The photophysical properties of two complexes – [Eu.DOTA(MeOH-d4)]- and [Eu(MeOH-d4)9]3+ – were investigated in deuterated methanol at five different temperatures. Absorption spectra showed decreased absorption cross sections as the temperature was increased. Luminescence spectra and time-resolved emission decay profiles showed a decrease in intensity and lifetime as a temperature was increased. Having corrected the emission spectra for the actual number of absorbed photons and differences in non-radiative pathways, the relative emission probability was revealed. These were found to increase with increasing temperature. The transition probability for luminescence was shown to increase with temperature, while the transition probability for light absorption decreased. The changes in transition probabilities were correlated to a change in the symmetry of the absorber or emitter, with an average increase in symmetry lowering absorption cross section and access to more asymmetric structures increasing the emission rate constant. Determining luminescence quantum yields and the Einstein coefficient for spontaneous emission allowed us to conclude that lowering symmetry increases both. Further, it was found that collisional self-quenching is an issue for lanthanide luminescence, when high concentrations are used. Finally, detailed analysis revealed results that show the so-called ‘Werts’ method’ for calculating radiative lifetimes and intrinsic quantum yields are based on assumption that does not hold for the two systems investigated here. We conclude that we are lacking a good theoretical description of the intraconfigurational f-f transition, and that there are still aspects of fundamental lanthanide photophysics to be explored.
Fluorescent Amino Acid Initiated De Novo Cyclic Peptides for the Label-Free Assessment of Cell Permeability
Authors: Wu Yuteng , Bertran Domingo Teresa , Rowley James , Calder Ewen D. D. , Joshi Dhira , Walport Louise
Published: May 2021

The major obstacle in applying peptides to intracellular targets is their low inherent cell permeability. Standard approaches to attach a fluorophore (e.g. FITC, TAMRA) can change the physicochemical properties of the parent peptide and influence their ability to penetrate and localize in cells. We report a label-free strategy for evaluating the cell permeability of cyclic peptide leads. Fluorescent tryptophan analogues 4-cyanotryptophan (4CNW) and beta-(1-azulenyl)-L-alanine (AzAla) were incorporated into in vitro translated macrocyclic peptides by initiator reprogramming. We then demonstrate these efficient blue fluorescent emitters are good tools for monitoring peptide penetration into cells.
How Subtle Protocol Choices Can Affect Biological Conclusions: Great Tits' Response to Allopatric Mobbing Calls
Authors: Salis Ambre , Lena Jean-Paul , Lengagne Thierry
Published: May 2021

In the last ten years, numerous replicated studies showed divergent results from the original papers, leading to the recognition that science may be facing a replication crisis. Apart from fraud or natural population variability, different results may emerge from flexibility in the protocol and/or restricted sample sizes. Replication studies are therefore fundamental to assess how robust a finding can be. However, while the original authors may be prone to p-hacking (to collect data, select data or use statistical analyses until nonsignificant results become significant), the replication-authors are, on the contrary, probably unwittingly prone to show opposite results (i.e., null-hacking). In this study, we face the unique opportunity to compare replicated studies with no null-hacking bias. Two teams independently investigated the response of great tits (Parus major) to mobbing calls of an allopatric species, in their natural and reversed order, on the same population. We first discuss how subtle protocol choices, especially regarding the soundtrack preparation and playback methodology, can explain variation in the results. In addition, we show that, although the effect sizes of the differences of interest are similar, biological conclusions solely based on the p-value would be different. Thus, we note the pitfall of reliance on p values, especially with small samples.

Published: May 2021

Background: A four trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy become the standard procedure since the first laparoscopic procedure was reported. But laparoscopic cholecystectomy has gained many steps such as reduction in port number and size. Objective: To compare Clinical results from three ports versus the traditional four ports in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and Methods: A prospective randomized clinical trial of 100 patients was done on those who were admitted for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Baquba teaching hospital, between April 2014 and March 2015, patients were classified into two groups (A) for three ports and (B) for 4 ports. Variables such as, complications, operative time, postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting were assessed. Results: One-hundred patients were included in this study, age of them ranged from 18-70 year and a male to female ratio was 1:9. There were no significant differences in demographic data between the two groups. Postoperative pain, analgesic requirements, nausea and vomiting, and hospital stay were slightly more in group B but statistically not significant. Postoperative return to activity was shorter in group A 6.10 versus 7.00 days for group B with (p= 0.021) which is statistically significant. There is no difference in the rate of complications. Conclusion: Three ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible as an alternative for four ports without any significant complication.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is aimed to improve the quality of life among post-CABG patients, there exist a large number of patients having a low level of quality of life. The study aimed to analyze factors that influenced the quality of life among post-CABG patients. The descriptive study was conducted using cross-sectional analysis with a consecutive sampling of 80 post CABG patients in Hasan Sadikin Hospital from 20 May-30 June 2019. Data were analyzed using multivariate linear regression. The independent variables in this study included age, gender, education level, pain, mental health, social support, spiritual well-being, and cardiac rehabilitation. The data were collected using three questionnaires which included Short-Form 36 (SF-36) to measure patient-reported pain, mental health, and the quality of life; Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to provide information about the role of social support; and Spirituality Index of Well Being (SIWB) designed to measure the spiritual well-being of the patients. The results showed four factors had significantly influenced the quality of life among patients after CABG. The factors included age (p-value<0,001; r=0,521), pain level (p-value<0,001; r=0,666), mental health (p-value<0,001; r=0,426), and social support (p-value<0,001; r=0,345). Pain factor had the most significant effect on the patients (r=0,497). Pain could cause a stress response that influenced the recovery stage which eventually impacted the quality of life. This study implies that the management of post-CABG patients could be performed by applying pain and stress management in discharge planning.

At the Service of the Unusual: Ways to Write the Built Environment
Authors:   , Adam Philipa
Published: May 2021

This thesis asks the question: in what ways can the language of
structural engineering inform, alter and enlarge the language of
fiction? My aim is to write our relationship with the built environment
in ways that highlight the strangeness of surroundings that we normally
take for granted in order to amplify what might usually be a muted
aspect of fiction. I argue that 'strangeness' is a useful term since it
suggests something of the paradox of a large built form, that it is both
manifestly solid and still but also basically a machine for balancing
forces that are constantly in motion. The thesis is in two parts: a
critical essay followed by a work of fiction. I use a Translation
Studies framework to identify characteristics of structural engineering
language. The findings of this research inform my creative work. My
research essay starts by investigating imaginative literature that
expresses the built form as symbol or surface. I conclude from this
review that one way of highlighting the strangeness of our built
environment is to express the hidden, inner world of the built form.
Structural engineers have a unique understanding of this inner world
which resists the type of symbolism used in imaginative literature.
After exploring research which investigates pathways between rational
and imaginative literature, I propose an analysis of the language of
structural engineering to uncover characteristics which might inform my
creative project. I use a Translation Studies framework, based on Gideon
Toury's Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS) and Hans J. Vermeer's
skopos theory, to analyse a variety of texts written by engineers. This
methodology allows me to identify choices and problems engineers face in
'translating' built forms into written and oral communication. Current
Translation Studies theory recognises the importance of context;
therefore the discussion of my findings begins by summarising
perceptions of the engineering culture, paying particular attention to
writing by engineers about the engineering profession. The following
three chapters deal in turn with how engineers translate features of the
built form associated with: Action and Event, the Relationship between
the Human and the Built, and Aesthetics or Felt Response. I conclude my
essay with a chapter which introduces my creative work, a novel called
I’m Working on a Building, in which I attempt to use characteristics
from the language of structural engineering to restore some of the
strangeness of these structures, and to promote into view aspects of the
physical world which might ordinarily figure as

background or veiled symbol. My aim is that the fiction plays with and
tests some of the ideas in the research essay rather than illustrating
or enacting them. In some ways, the fiction might also contradict the
theoretical observations. For example, to what extent was I able to free
my work from symbolism? Is the act of writing figuratively and indeed
reading a reflexive one? These and other questions raised may generate
further discussion.

The purpose of this study was to describe the critical thinking skills of students of SMAN 8 Muaro Jambi in physics learning material temperature and heat. The approach used in this study is a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design that combines sequential quantitative and qualitative research methods. The sample used in this study was 96 students of SMAN 8 Muaro Jambi. Data collection techniques using tests and interviews. The results showed that for the mastery of critical thinking skills as a whole on the material, the temperature and heat of the students were at a non-critical level with a percentage of 40.5%. Based on the results of the study, it was found that students of SMAN 8 Muaro Jambi were in the non-critical category. The low ability of students to think critically is because students are not used to being presented with active learning that maximizes their thinking potential. By doing this research, the teacher can improve students' critical thinking skills in learning physics, especially temperature and heat material.
Identifying Science Content Knowledge of Primary School Pre-Service Teachers at the Essential Physics Concepts
Authors: Anam Rif'at Shafwatul
Published: May 2021

Science Content Knowledge (SCK) teachers are one of the main things in providing science learning that follows scientific conceptions. One of the causes of misconceptions or inappropriate concepts that students have regarding science is the teacher. So, the purpose of this study is to identify pre-service teachers at primary school about the SCK. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a survey design. Data were collected from 131 participants from the Primary School Teacher Education Program in the early semester. The essential concepts in science (physics) used in the study are elementary and junior high school. The instrument is a multiple-choice test with four answers choices with 40 questions. The study finds that for almost every essential physics/science concept, the SCK of the pre-service teachers needs to be improved. This result contradicts our expectations considering the concepts being tested are for elementary and junior high schools. SCK is playing an important element in giving the quality of learning science and building and preparing students to meet the next educational level. Thus, teaching physics from an early age must be taught conceptually and presented with appropriate representations to make it easier for students to learn.

Previous studies suggest that Brazil nut can improve the nutritional status of selenium, reduce oxidative stress, modify lipid profile, and alter inflammatory markers. A systematic review was performed to evaluate and synthesize the results of studies on the effect of Brazil nut supplementation on human health. The review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for reviews and was based on searches of the databases BIREME, BMC Proceedings, The British Library, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed up to December 2019. The searches also included at the databases Google Scholar and Web of Sciences. The descriptors were identified using the Health Science Descriptors system and the search strategy included the following combination of keywords: Bertholletia, protein, lipid, nutritive value, and selenium; in English and Portuguese. A total of 510 potential studies were screened, of which 25 studies were considered for this review. All studies showed that supplementation with Brazil nut in the amounts evaluated improved the selenium status in the body and had positive effects without reports of adverse effects. This systematic review indicates that Brazil nut has a beneficial effect on human health, but further studies with double-blind controlled clinical trials and larger sample sizes are needed for the validation of these effects.

Bu çalışma, 2019 yılı Şubat ayında yayınlanan ‘Türkiye Mimarlık Politikası’ metninin, ortaya çıkma süreci öncesini, anayasal bir sivil toplum örgütünün iletişim mecrası üzerinden incelemektedir. Politika metni bir gerçeklik kavrayışıdır. Gerçeklikler toplumsal inşalardır. Bir gerçekliğin anlaşılması ve ona ilişkin eylem geliştirilmesi, gerçekliği var eden ve içinde varlık bulduğu süreç ile ilişkilendirilmesi ile mümkündür. Bu bağlamda, TMMOB Mimarlar Odası’nın incelenen dönemdeki gerçeklik kavrayışını Mimarlık dergisi yayınlarında analiz edilmiştir. Mimarlık dergisinin 1986-2005 yılları arasında yayınlanan sayıları taranarak, TMMOB Mimarlar Odası yönetimlerinin, Mimarlık dergisinde konu edilen politikaları ve bu politikalara yönelik yayınlanan metinler, dönemin politikaları olarak değerlendirilmiştir ve bu bağlamda yedi politika başlığı belirlenmiştir. İncelenen dönem gerek dünya gerekse Türkiye Mimarlığı için ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel açılımların ortaya çıktığı ve küreselleşme, post-modern ve yapı-bozum gibi yeni kavramlar üzerinden yorumlandığı süreçleri içermektedir. Bu gelişmeler içerisinde, 1990 yılında Dünya Mimarlar Birliğinin (UIA) Montreal toplantısında, tüm üye ülkelerin kendi mimarlık politikalarını oluşturması gerektiği kararı alındı. Bu karara ilişkin TMMOB Mimarlar Odası, 2005 UIA İstanbul toplantısı sonrasında çalışmalara başladı. Bu çalışma, 2005 yılında başlayan çalışmaların 1990 yılı sonrasında ortaya konulan girişim ve süreçteki birikimi göstermek amaçlamıştır.
İslam Sanatında Kantûrus (Kentaur) Tasviri
Authors: TURAN Hayrunnisa
Published: May 2021

Sıra dışı melez yaratıklardan biri olarak bilinen kentaur figürü, İslam sanatında batı mitolojisi ve sanatından oldukça farklı bir anlam boyutunda algılanan konumuyla bu çalışmada incelemeye tabi tutulmaktadır. İslam literatüründe kantûrus adıyla anılan bu figürün astronomi ve astroloji ilimleriyle bağlantısı aynı zamanda İslam tasvir sanatına doğrudan yansıyan yüzünü teşkil etmektedir. Her ne kadar batı sanatında da figürün bu yönüyle ele alındığı tasvirlere rastlanmaktaysa da bu coğrafyada büyük ölçüde mitolojik karakteriyle ön planda olduğu bilinmektedir. İslam sanatında ise kantûrus figürünün Yay burcu ve Kantûrus takımyıldızı temsiline münhasır olarak resmedildiği anlaşılmaktadır. Bu araştırma vesilesiyle farklı dönemlere ait çeşitli eserler üzerinden konuya ilişkin örnekler ortaya konulmakta ve tasvirin içeriğine ilişkin bir çerçeve oluşturulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Örneklerin en erken tarihlisinin 8. yüzyılın başlarına, en geç tarihlisinin de 18. yüzyılın sonlarına ait olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kentaur tasvirini içerdiği belirlenen eserler arasında elyazmalarındaki minyatürler çoğunluğu teşkil etmekle beraber, taş, maden ve seramik sanatından örnekler de önemli bir zenginlik oluşturmaktadır. İncelenen çeşitli eserler vasıtasıyla İslam sanatında kentaur figürünün bilhassa Selçuklu döneminde yoğunlaştığı, coğrafi açıdan ise Anadolu’nun doğusu ve güneydoğusu ile İran’ın önem kazandığı anlaşılmaktadır.
Seljuk’s Material Culture in Ukraine According to the Results of Historical and Archaeological Research
Authors: BİLYAYEVA Svitlana , KARASEVYCH Anatoliy , KUTSENKO Sergei
Published: May 2021

As a result of massive historical and archaeological investigations of the last decades of the 20th and 21st centuries, numerous samples of the material cultural heritage of the Seljuks were discovered in Ukraine. The researchers identified the stages of its development, main spheres of influence and features of manifestations. The first stage covers the period from the appearance of Oghuz on the territory of the Southern principalities from the middle of the 11th century to the first half of the 13th century. At this time, Seljuk influence can be traced in the applied art and decorative style of monumental architecture of Kyiv Rus. At the next stage - from the second half of the 13th century to the end of the 15th century, the influence of the Seljuks affected a wide range of material culture in the Black Sea region of the Mongol Empire, the Crimean Khanate, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Rus. Bright examples of this time are artifacts from the cemetery of Mamay Surok (Zaporizhzhia region), examples of monumental architecture in cities and fortresses of Eastern Podillya, Southern Ukraine and the Crimea (Torhovytsia, Yurkivka, Solkhat). The last discovery of Seljuk architectural style is a stone carving that adorned the wall of the entrance gate of the Tiahyn fortress in the 14th-16th centuries (Kherson region). From the end of the 15th century to the end of the 18th century Seljuk heritage became a part of the material culture in the Northern Provinces of the Ottoman Empire and was widespread in the monuments of the Northern Black Sea Coast. The material culture of the Seljuks became a kind of cultural bridge that combined the achievements of Eurasia, the civilizations of the Middle Ages and early modernism.
Indians in the Database
Authors: Isbister Christian
Published: May 2021

The goal of this exploratory research study is to better understand how students in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta relate to terminology for Indigenous peoples in Canada, namely Indian, in controlled vocabulary subject headings. The language used in controlled vocabularies to describe resources about Indigenous peoples does not always reflect terms Indigenous peoples use to describe themselves, leading to a disconnect between users and subject headings. Although this issue is beginning to enter academic discourse alongside reconciliation efforts, to date no research study has examined how students react to this issue. In this study interviews were conducted with five students from the Faculty of Native Studies to better understand how they relate to terminology. Students reported feeling uncomfortable at being forced to use language they saw as racist or insensitive. Future research should be conducted to better understand student relationships with subject headings, particularly at different institutions

Keterampilan dasar konseling adalah modal awal bagi individu pembimbing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dasar konseling dengan bimbingan kelompok. Pemilihan tindakan intervensi berbasis kelompok dilakukan karena pada umumnya mahasiswa memiliki karakteristik masih sangat menyenangi untuk berinteraksi dengan kelompok. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif jenis Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (action research) dengan menerapkan system siklus. Tindakan dilakukan terhadap 9 orang mahasiswa PGSD FKIP Universitas Mataram tingkat akhir, yang diambil secara acak, diberi layanan bimbingan kelompok pada siklus I dan Siklus II. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunkan model mixed analysis (perpanduan antara analisis kuantitatif dan kualitatif). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada siklus I diperoleh skor rata-rata adalah 28,5 (64,90%), rata-rata berada pada kategori sedang dan pada siklus II skor rata-rata adalah 32 (74,24%), berada pada kategori tinggi. Data ini menunjukkan kenaikan sebesar 9,34%. Dengan demikian, hipotesis tindakan yang diajukan: “Jika bimbingan kelompok dilaksanakan dengan benar, maka keterampilan dasar konseling mahasiswa meningkat” terbukti kebenarannya. Rekomenasi hasil penelitian ini yaitu pemanfaatan dan adopsi model bimbingan kelompok agar dijakikan sebagai kebijakan oleh pihak terkait.
Axel Honneth e Nancy Fraser: dilemas entre o reconhecimento e a redistribuição
Authors: Panigassi Pedro Luis
Published: May 2021

O artigo objetiva situar o debate inserido no campo teórico da Teoria Crítica entre Axel Honneth e Nancy Fraser, tendo em vista suas principais publicações na década de 1990. Desde o modelo crítico formulado por Jürgen Habermas, a Teoria Crítica passou a dar uma ênfase maior às questões envolvendo a teoria política normativa, com foco nos novos movimentos sociais que surgiram após o maio de 1968. Nesse sentido, Honneth e Fraser apresentam novas contribuições para esta discussão, com vista à formulação de novas propostas normativas. Desse modo, a partir de uma análise qualitativa bibliográfica dos textos propostos, centraremos a exposição em torno dos conceitos de reconhecimento e redistribuição a fim de compreender a importância das principais questões postas pelos autores.
O circuito na etnomusicologia urbana
Authors: Soares Nelson Souza
Published: May 2021

O estudo antropológico na cena urbana possui peculiaridades em relação aos estudos realizados em comunidades tradicionais. Na paisagem urbana os grupos se inserem em contextos mais amplos dentro de redes complexas com inúmeras interações e significados. José Guilherme C. Magnani (2005) buscou uma forma de análise em que considera os atores sociais com suas especificidades e o espaço no qual atuam, sendo este último produto e fator determinante da prática social, e não simples cenário. Magnani formulou categorias de análise a partir dessa ideia de se considerar o espaço como elemento passível de estudo. Neste trabalho buscamos uma análise das contribuições metodológicas que a utilização do conceito de circuito pode trazer à pesquisa etnomusicológica urbana, especificamente no estudo de contextos juvenis que envolvam a música popular.
Pelatihan Entri Data Website Dengan Wordpress pada Balai Kebun Raya Baturraden

Published: May 2021

Kebun Raya Baturraden merupakan tempat konservasi yang menyimpan keanekaragaman hayati khas daerah Jawa Tengah. Pelestariannya harus terus dikawal dengan baik dengan komitmen bersama antara pemerintah daerah, dewan perwakilan rakyat daerah, dan LIPI. Suatu instansi biasanya memerlukan suatu media agar lebih dikenal oleh masyarakat. Untuk lebih mendekatkan diri ke masyarakat serta agar masyarakat lebih mengenal seluk beluk mengenai instansi, maka biasanya akan diadakan berbagai acara yang melibatkan sejumlah masyarakat. Acara tersebut dapat berupa acara penggalangan dana, acara hiburan, acara pameran, kuliner dan sebagainya. Tentunya untuk mengadakan acara yang dapat populer di tengah masyarakat akan membutuhkan dana dan tenaga profesional yang tidak sedikit. Instansi juga akan membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama dalam merencakan acara tersebut agar dapat menjadi sukses di masyarakat. Selain membuat acara di tengah kehidupan masyarakat, ada alternatif lain yang dapat dilakukan instansi yang merupakan langkah mudah agar dapat dikenal oleh masyarakat yaitu menggunakan website.Secara teknologi, pembuatan website dapat dilakukan oleh instansi, akan tetapi proses untuk perawatannya: mengisi konten (berita) adalah hal yang seringkali sulit dilakukan jika tidak menyiapkan SDM (Sumber Daya Manusia) dari awal dibangunnya website tersebut. Kondisi yang diharapkan pada Balai Kebun Raya Baturraden tersebut menuntut berbagai hal dalam pengelolaan instansi. Balai Kebun Raya Baturraden perlu menyiapkan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) untuk mengelola website, kegiatan ini memberikan solusi bagi SDM untuk membuat website dan pengelolaan konten.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure.Materials and methods. In total for the period from 2009 to 2019, 3038 potential recipients of donor heart were examined, of which 22% were put on a waiting list of transplantation. Orthotopic heart transplantation was performed in 326 patients, which accounted for 40% of the total number of patients on the waiting list for a ten-year period.Results and discussion. During the period from 2009 to 2019, orthotopic heart transplantation in Belarus on the basis of the Scientific-Practical Center «Cardiology» was performed for 326 patients with terminal heart failure. The preference was given to the biatrial technique (89%), only 30 patients were operated on using the bicaval technique (11%). The duration of artificial blood circulation was 250 + 24 min. The patient’s stay after heart transplantation in the intensive care unit and reanimation was 9 + 3 days, while the duration of artificial respiration was 10 + 6 hours on average. The hospital period averaged 23 + 6 days. The average for 10 years the hospital mortality rate was 8.4%, and in the period from 2016 to 2019 did not exceed 7.2%. The dynamics of survival rates are presented graphically in the diagram.Findings. Currently, the achievements of transplantology have allowed us to achieve some success in the struggle for the lives of patients, which a few decades ago, medicine could only dream of. Today, the team of cardiac surgeons and cardiologists is faced with the task of finding methods to ensure the longest life expectancy of the donor organ by reducing the risk of various complications, as well as developing new technologies that will maximize the life expectancy of patients with terminal heart failure in anticipation of an optimal donor heart.

Aims. Improve the technique of bone plastics of the mandible with a free autogenous rib graft.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 41 case histories of patients undergoing surgical treatment in connection with the replacement of the mandibular defectsacquired due to tumors, injuries, osteomyelitis at the clinic of maxillofacial surgery in 2003-2018 was carried out.

The technique of osteoplasty of the mandible with free autogenous rib graft has been improved by expanding the technical possibility of reliable fixation of bone fragments with titanium plates and screws, as well as tight installation of autograft in the bone defect and creating favorable conditions for the primary osseointegration.

The own method of harvesting and formation of autogenous rib graft is proposed. For 15 years, not a single complication was identified and there was no rejection of the free autogenous rib grafts.Conclusions. This technique is simple, safe, and can be effectively used to reconstruct long-span mandibular defects with minimal complications in selected patients.

Scientific thinking is more than just critical thinking. Teaching the full range of ways to think like a scientist who practices high quality science is rare. A new core subject in the Bachelor of Science at the University of Newcastle was developed to allow students to explore six different ways to thinking scientifically through understanding what high-quality science is and contrasting it with poor science and non-science (pseudoscience). Our evaluation indicates that learning about how to think scientifically and be a scientist who practices high quality science is a skill that is valued by and relevant to first year undergraduate students. An evidence-based pedagogy including active learning, participatory learning, student-centred learning, constructive alignment and quality formative and summative feedback to students can support high learning outcomes.
