Sarpayajña dalam Sěrat Yudayana Karya Pujangga R. Ng. Ranggawarsita di Abad XIX
Authors: Tedjowirawan Anung
Published: December 2019

Sarpayajña dalam Sěrat Yudayana dapat ditelusuri jejaknya ke dalam Ādiparwa. Dalam Sěrat Yudayana, sarpayajña dilakukan oleh Prabu Yudayana, karena baginda menduga bahwa mangkatnya ayahandanya, yaitu Prabu Parikesit adalah karena digigit Taksaka Raja. Sarpayajña ini terpaksa didukung oleh Patih Dwara, Patih Danurwedha serta pasukan Ngastina, karena kedua patih tersebut takut menentang baginda. Adapun Sarpayajña tersebut dilakukan dengan cara menyerang tempat-tempat yang diperkirakan dihuni oleh para naga, ular di antaranya: Kerajaan Taksakasila (tempat tinggal Taksaka Raja), hutan Lagra, hutan Gadamadana, sebelah barat Gunung Candramuka, sebelah selatan Gunung Candrageni sampai sebelah selatan Gunung Mahendra (Lawu). Pada akhirnya sarpayajña tersebut dihentikan setelah Prabu Yudayana mendapat nasehat dan pencerahan dari Naga Raja Sarana (pelindung naga yang baik) sekaligus menjadi mertuanya. Dalam Ādiparwa, sarpayajña (sarpa saṭṭra) dilakukan oleh Mahārāja Janamejaya sebagai hukuman kepada naga Tatṣaka yang telah menggigit Mahārāja Parīkṣit (ayahanda baginda) hingga tewas. Namun Sarpayajña tersebut juga disebabkan oleh kutuk Kadrū kepada para naga anaknya yang semula menolak memerciki ekor kuda Uçcaihçrawā dengan bisa agar berwarna hitam. Di samping itu juga karena dendam Sang Uttangka yang pernah diganggunya sewaktu membawa anting-anting matahari yang dimintanya dari Sawitrī (istri Mahārāja Poṣya) untuk dipersembahkan kepada istri gurunya. Karena itu Uttangka melaporkan dan mendorong pada Mahārāja Janamejaya untuk melangsungkan sarpa saṭṭra. Akibat sarpa saṭṭra ini banyak naga tertarik mantra para brahmana sehingga masuk ke dalam tungku api korban. Namun akhirnya korban ular tersebut dihentikan karena Mahārāja Janamejaya menghormati serta mengabulkan permohonan Āstīka (brahmana keturunan naga) agar baginda menghentikan sarpa saṭṭra.
Catatan Sejarah dalam Babad Sepehi
Authors: Irawan Yudhi
Published: December 2019

Babad Sepehi (disingkat BS) merupakan historiografi tradisional Jawa—biasa disebut babad--yang didalamnya banyak mengandung peristiwa di masa pemerintah kolonial Inggris berkuasa di Jawa, 1811-1816. BS menceritakan keterlibatan pasukan Sepoy—orang Jawa atau teks-teks Jawa sering kali menuliskan kata Sepoy dengan Sepehi, Sepei, Spehi, Sepahi, atau Sipahi—dalam penyerbuan Keraton Yogya, 18 Juni-20 Juni 1812. Orang Jawa mengenang peristiwa penyerbuan ini sebagai peristiwa “Geger Sepehi”. Naskah-naskah BS kemungkinan disalin dalam kurun waktu antara tahun 1813 sampai dengan awal tahun 1900an. Teks ini dibingkai oleh ragam karya sastra Jawa macapat. Tulisan ini menjelaskan aspek kesejarahan BS yang terdapat dalam naskah PW 141/NR 36, koleksi Perpustakaan Universitas Indonesia dengan menggunakan metode sejarah. Aspek kesejarahan dalam peristiwa BS memperlihatkan bahwa teks ini banyak mengadung data sejarah atau lebih bersifat sejarah. BS dalam naskah PW 141/NR 36 merupakan model autobiografi penulisan babad, di mana pengarangnya Pangeran Mangkudiningrat—anak dari Sultan Hamengkubuwana II—terlibat langsung dengan peristiwa “Geger Sepehi”.

Event Market Segmentation: A Review Update and Research Agenda
Authors: Tkaczynski Aaron , Rundle-Thiele Sharyn
Published: December 2019

Segmenting target audiences can deliver increases in audiences attending events. An examination of segmentation research progress in the field is needed to assess the extent that researchers are capitalizing on available opportunities. Following the Tkaczynski and Rundle-Thiele framework,
this article reviews 90 segmentation articles published from 2010 onwards to examine attendee profiling practices and to assess research practice change over time. Nine research issues have been proposed, which are subsequently discussed. Findings indicate an increase in geographic reach (e.
g., Africa and Europe) and a continued dominant focus on on-site self-administered surveys as the data collection method. Both sample sizes and application of multivariate data analysis techniques have increased, and studies are largely employing the same segmentation bases and variables across
the two research reviews. Recommendations for future research such as a need for larger sample sizes to warrant segmentation and a greater focus on external validation of segments are outlined.
Usefulness of presepsin as diagnostic and prognostic marker of sepsis in daily clinical practice

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Sepsis represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment have a crucial influence on survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of presepsin (sCD14) in patients with sepsis.

Methodology: Fifty-four consecutive adult patients with sepsis and 26 patients with aseptic meningitis as a control group were included in this prospective observational study. In all patients included in the study, levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), presepsin, lactate, and a count of leukocytes and neutrophils were determined on admission. In those with suspected bacterial infection, two separate blood cultures were obtained and procalcitonin (PCT) concentration was detected. Plasma presepsin and PCT concentrations in septic group patients were followed on days 2, 3 and 7 after enrollment.

Results: The median presepsin serum concentration in patients with sepsis was 1614 pg/mL and in the control group it was 203 pg/mL (p < 0.001). Presepsin levels in patients with septic shock were higher than in sepsis patients (p < 0.014). The mean presepsin concentrations were higher in deceased than in surviving patients (p = 0.009). The trend of changes in presepsin concentrations in deceased patients was significantly different than in the surviving patients (p = 0.018). There were no statistically significant differences in the concentration of presepsin or other biomarkers in patients with Gram negative or Gram positive bacteria.

Conclusions: Presepsin may be used as a diagnostic marker of systemic bacterial infection and can predict the severity and outcome of sepsis.
Limites du langage et création du monde dans la littérature rabbinique
Authors: Lemler David
Published: December 2019

Au-delà du problème factuel de savoir comment le monde est venu à l’existence, le questionnement sur la création du monde engage une réflexion sur les limites du langage : tout discours sur la création s’efforce – de manière toujours aporétique – de ressaisir dans le langage l’avènement d’un monde dont l’existence conditionne tout énoncé pourvu de sens. Les discussions sur la création du monde au sein du judaïsme rabbinique, en mêlant hypothèses sur la manière dont la création s’est opérée avec des réflexions sur l’impossibilité de la dire adéquatement en proposent une intéressante illustration.
La question allemande trente ans après la réunification
Authors: Giblin Béatrice
Published: December 2019

Les succès électoraux de l’AfD aux élections régionales de septembre 2019 en Saxe et en Brandebourg – qui confirment sa forte implantation dans les Länder de l’Est – inquiètent. Non pas que l’ouest de l’Allemagne ne connaisse pas lui aussi une poussée électorale de ce parti xénophobe, réactionnaire et nationaliste, mais dans une moindre mesure. En revanche, les Verts y font de biens meilleurs scores, comme aux élections européennes de mai 2019, que dans les Länder de l’Est. Quant aux deux grands partis – la CDU/CSU et le SPD –, leurs scores sont en baisse à l’ouest comme à l’est. Cette forte percée de l’AfD est bien sûr très liée à la crise migratoire de 2015, mais elle peut aussi traduire le malaise ressenti dans l’ex-RDA où une partie de la population se perçoit comme des citoyens de seconde zone. Si la réussite économique de la réunification est incontestable, qu’en est-il du sentiment d’appartenir à une même nation ? Le passé nazi et la Seconde Guerre mondiale ne sont pas vécus de façon identique de part et d’autre du Mur, ce qui détermine leur façon différente de penser la nation et d’envisager son rôle de puissance européenne.
L’Allemagne peut-elle (et veut-elle) redevenir une puissance militaire ?
Authors: Strassel Christophe
Published: December 2019

L’Allemagne a été démilitarisée après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et son réarmement s’est fait sous surveillance américaine dans le cadre de l’Otan. Trente ans après la chute du mur de Berlin, l’Allemagne est-elle en passe de redevenir une puissance militaire ? Ses dépenses militaires restent faibles (1,2 % du PIB) et la société allemande majoritairement hostile à l’emploi de la force armée, y compris pour secourir des alliés. La comparaison des Livres blancs sur la sécurité et la défense allemand, britannique et français montre que, si l’Allemagne affiche depuis 2016 une ambition nouvelle de « prendre ses responsabilités » militaires et internationales, sa vision du monde reste celle d’une « puissance moyenne » dépourvue d’ambition globale et ses capacités d’action très encadrées par la Constitution allemande. Dans ces conditions, l’idée d’une « armée européenne » qui reposerait sur la France et l’Allemagne apparaît prématurée, tant les visions militaires de Paris et de Berlin continuent de diverger.
Les défis du leadership allemand : nouveaux équilibres géopolitiques et constance du choix européen
Authors: Demesmay Claire , Marchetti Andreas
Published: December 2019

De 1989 à 2019, l’Allemagne est restée fidèle à ses choix géopolitiques les plus fondamentaux, en particulier en matière de politique européenne. Elle a en particulier confirmé sa volonté de s’ancrer dans le cadre institutionnel de l’Europe politique et est restée attachée à un leadership partagé avec la France. Cela étant, elle est encore loin d’être à l’aise avec ses nouvelles responsabilités, liées à sa centralité retrouvée en Europe. Cette contribution vise à établir dans quels domaines et sous quelle forme la République fédérale, depuis les bouleversements de 1989-1991, exerce un leadership en Europe. Dans un premier temps, elle étudie le rapport que l’Allemagne entretient avec les structures de l’UE, abordé à travers les deux grandes transformations européennes depuis la fin de la Guerre froide, à savoir le projet d’intégration européenne et l’élargissement géographique de l’Union. À cela s’ajoute une analyse de la gestion par l’Allemagne des postes clés dans les institutions de l’UE. Ensuite, cette contribution analyse les priorités et les effets de la politique européenne du gouvernement fédéral, ainsi que leur évolution depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, en se penchant sur trois éléments de la politique européenne. Il s’agit de l’ambition de l’Allemagne d’agir de manière normative, de ses intérêts économiques et de ses préférences dans le domaine des relations extérieures à l’UE.
L’évolution du système des partis en Allemagne
Authors: Vaillant Jérôme
Published: December 2019

La contribution analyse dans un premier temps les résultats des élections fédérales du 29 septembre 2017 en Allemagne. Ceux-ci font apparaître une fragmentation de l’électorat entre six partis et orientent durablement le pays vers un système pluripartite alors que jusqu’à la fin des années 1970 l’Allemagne de l’Ouest connaissait un système tripartite. Ces élections confirment un affaiblissement durable des grands partis au pouvoir, chrétiens-démocrates et sociaux-démocrates, et établissent dans le paysage politique le parti d’extrême droite, Alternative pour l’Allemagne. Les élections européennes, plus propices aux votes de protestation, ont, le 26 mai 2019, encore une fois rebattu les cartes et renforcé la position du parti les Verts dont l’évolution vers un parti de rassemblement ( Volkspartei ) les rapproche des partis établis. Dans un deuxième temps, l’article étudie l’érosion des grands partis, non seulement de leur électorat mais encore du nombre de leurs adhérents. Il expose également le mode de scrutin, une « proportionnelle personnalisée », qui, s’il favorise la dispersion des voix, n’empêche pas la formation de coalitions pour exercer le pouvoir. En l’occurrence, les Länder sont de véritables champs d’expérimentation qui permettent aux partis démocratiques de vérifier quel type de coalition est viable. Ces coalitions régionales peuvent préfigurer une future coalition au plan fédéral, tant il est assuré que depuis des décennies déjà seules des coalitions sont en mesure de gouverner l’Allemagne.
Montée de la droite radicale en Allemagne et en Europe de l’Est : le passé est à venir
Authors: Minkenberg Michael
Published: December 2019

Cet article décrit l’ascension récente de la droite radicale en Allemagne et les raisons de cette ascension, en lien avec la situation en Europe de l’Est, et en prenant pour point de référence l’histoire des partis de la droite radicale en Europe occidentale sur les trente dernières années. Selon l’auteur, l’extrême droite en Europe de l’Est n’a pas suivi la même trajectoire que son homologue à l’Ouest. Cependant, les deux modèles se retrouvent en Allemagne avec un radicalisme politique plus prononcé à l’Est qu’à l’Ouest, ce qui montre que des évolutions propres à l’Europe de l’Est ont eu une influence sur l’extrême droite allemande. Pour l’auteur, ce constat devient manifeste et, après avoir clarifié certains concepts et cartographié ce phénomène, il en explique les raisons, en portant attention à l’idéologie extrémiste, à la volatilité électorale dans un contexte de partis sous-institutionnalisés et à la mobilisation de rue de la droite radicale en Allemagne de l’Est et en Europe de l’Est.
Une puissance économique fragilisée
Authors: Strassel Christophe
Published: December 2019

La force économique de l’Allemagne est l’un des principaux vecteurs de la puissance de ce pays. Ce constat n’est pas seulement vrai depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : il remonte en réalité à l’Allemagne bismarckienne, période à laquelle le pays est devenu le leader européen de la deuxième révolution industrielle (moteur à combustion, électricité, chimie). Cette puissance économique a permis à l’Allemagne de faire prévaloir ses conceptions en matière de politique économique à l’ensemble de l’Union européenne, de manière partagée avec la France jusqu’en 1990, et de manière plus hégémonique depuis. Les années récentes voient toutefois les bases du modèle allemand se fragiliser : le Dieselgate remet en cause la puissance de son industrie automobile (13 % du PIB) qui n’a pas su prendre le tournant du véhicule électrique, sa dépendance aux exportations vers la Chine lui fait subir brutalement la baisse de la croissance chinoise et les entreprises allemandes restent peu présentes dans le numérique. L’Allemagne va devoir faire face à un changement structurel profond de son économie et pour cela abandonner certaines de ses orientations de politique économique les plus anciennes.
L’ Energiewende de 2011 : reconfigurations horizontales et verticales du système d’acteurs dans la géopolitique de l’énergie en Allemagne
Authors: Meyer Teva
Published: December 2019

L’accélération de la fermeture du parc électronucléaire allemand à la suite de la catastrophe de Fukushima apparaît comme la décision la plus emblématique du train de réformes énergétiques engagé en 2011 par la chancelière Angela Merkel. Condamnée comme une stratégie électoraliste de la part des conservateurs, cette nouvelle étape de l’ Energiewende relève en réalité d’une double reconfiguration des rapports de force dans le système géopolitique d’acteurs de l’énergie outre-Rhin. D’une part, le déploiement des sources renouvelables à partir de 1990 et la réunification des deux Allemagnes ont modifié la répartition des soutiens aux différentes sources d’énergies en défaveur du nucléaire. D’autre part, l’influence grandissante des municipalités, parfois influencées par des militants antinucléaires, a déconcentré le contrôle des moyens de production et de distribution d’électricité depuis quelques grands groupes exploitant des centrales jusqu’à une multitude d’acteurs locaux.
Saisir la position sociale des ménages : une approche par configurations
Authors: Cayouette-Remblière Joanie , Ichou Mathieu
Published: December 2019

Cet article propose une approche originale pour appréhender la position sociale des ménages, susceptible d'améliorer la description et l'explication sociologiques de nombreux objets d'étude. Cette approche configurationnelle, qui repose sur l'usage successif d'analyse géométrique des données et de classifications, permet de prendre en compte à la fois plusieurs membres d'un ménage et plusieurs dimensions de la stratification sociale. Elle est appliquée à deux enquêtes nationales représentatives : « Trajectoires et origines » (TeO, Ined/Insee, 2008) et le « Panel d'élèves entrant dans le secondaire en 2007 » (DEPP-MEN). En plus des variables classiques comme la profession ou le niveau d'éducation, les configurations construites mettent en évidence le poids des variables résidentielles, ainsi que le rôle de la situation familiale et de l'origine migratoire dans la différentiation sociale des ménages. Pour finir, l'article démontre que les configurations ont un pouvoir explicatif supérieur à celui des approches classiques de la position sociale.
La vie future des objets : une contribution à la réflexion sur la durabilité à travers l’expérience spéculative du projet ADN
Authors: Racine Martin
Published: December 2019

Cet article présente un projet de recherche-création ayant pris la forme d’une exposition interactive nommée « ADN- La vie future des objets ». Dans une scénographie de laboratoire scientifique, l’exposition révèle les déclarations d’un manifeste évoquant l’intégration du monde des objets à celui du vivant, d’où la référence à l’ADN. En établissant un parallèle entre le système des objets et le monde des organismes vivants, cette exposition pose un regard à la fois critique et inédit sur notre rapport aux objets et provoque une réflexion sur la notion de durabilité, de dégradation de l’environnement, de surconsommation et d’attachement émotif, tout en anticipant les impacts potentiels liés aux objets connectés et à l’intelligence artificielle sur notre vie privée.
La communication visuelle et graphique à l’aune des défis environnementaux : des priorités à redéfinir
Authors: Jubert Roxane
Published: December 2019

Les défis environnementaux et écologiques de l’écosphère concernent aussi bien le monde du graphisme – et plus largement de la communication visuelle – que de nombreux autres secteurs d’activité. L’état d’alerte actuel, sans précédent, requiert une perception adéquate et une nouvelle vision. Il s’agit de prendre la mesure de la situation à l’œuvre et de poser les questions les plus justes possible, afin de pouvoir comprendre le changement de paradigme qui s’impose, de s’impliquer et de prendre sa part de responsabilité. Depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, designers, auteurs, collectifs ou manifestes en appellent – notamment à l’étranger – à un design soutenable et éthique. Le graphisme n’échappe pas à cette optique, qui permettrait d’inclure la dimension écologique au nombre de ses fondamentaux. De tels objectifs peuvent être perçus comme un espace de création, de réflexion, de recherche et de travail aussi salutaire que stimulant.
Empowering Students and Influencing Policy Change Through Experiential Public Health Advocacy Education
Authors: Morris Heather , Hagen Les , Hyshka Elaine , Francescutti Louis Hugo
Published: December 2019

Background:

Public health advocacy is central to the work of many health professionals, including nurses. Although deemed to be a core competency for public health practitioners, courses described in the literature often lack a focus on experiential learning, which is an essential component to acquiring public health advocacy skills.

Method:

This article describes an innovative, 12-week graduate course that provides students with a combination of theory and experiential learning through an opportunity to engage in political advocacy, community mobilization, and media engagement on a current public health issue.

Results:

An advocacy campaign undertaken by students to increase community access to the overdose reversal medication naloxone is described in light of the current North American overdose epidemic. Key considerations for teaching public health advocacy to facilitate development of nursing courses elsewhere are highlighted.

Conclusion:

Public health advocacy education is important and needs to be expanded both within the nursing profession and across all disciplines.

Faculty Attitudes About Caring for People Living With HIV/AIDS: A Comparative Study
Authors: Leyva-Moral Juan M. , Dominguez-Cancino Karen A. , Guevara-Vasquez Genesis M. , Edwards Joan E. , Palmieri Patrick A.
Published: December 2019

Background:

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) experience stigma and discrimination. Negative attitudes of nursing faculty about caring for PLHIV can adversely affect student perceptions and their nursing care. The study purpose was to describe nursing faculty attitudes and beliefs about caring for PLHIV.

Method:

The HPASS (Healthcare Provider HIV/AIDS Stigma Scale), Spanish version, was delivered to nursing faculty in Colombia and Peru.

Results:

The HPASS was completed by 98 nursing faculty. The overall mean score was 2.41 (
SD
= 0.69), with subscale scores: stereotypes, 2.55 (
SD
= 0.84); discrimination, 2.28 (
SD
= 0.74); and prejudices, 2.41 (
SD
= 0.63). Peruvian faculty had the highest scores, statistically correlated with the importance of religion, whereas Colombia had the lowest.

Conclusion:

Nursing faculty attitudes toward PLHIV were slightly positive in Colombia to slightly negative in Peru; however, both countries had negative stereotypes. Knowledge deficiencies about HIV persist and attitudes appear to be influenced by culture and religion.

Partnering for a Sustainable Interprofessional Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Education Curriculum
Authors: Peterson Barbara L. , Pittenger Amy L. , Kaas Merrie J. , Lounsbery Jody L.
Published: December 2019

Background:

The World Health Organization recommends that health care educators create a collaborative and practice-ready workforce. Focused interprofessional education (IPE) promotes collaborative practice, yet few examples of how to develop sustained IPE and clinical partnerships exist. Mental health care professionals competent in their specialty and prepared for interprofessional collaboration are needed to treat complex mental health needs of patients.

Method:

Doctor of Nursing Practice Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) faculty partnered with College of Pharmacy faculty to create didactic, clinical, and simulation coursework and IPE competencies within PMHNP courses. Students developed skills about providing interprofessional mental health care.

Results:

Recommendations for faculties include: embrace the value of interprofessional faculty partnerships; plan for time, money, motivation, and recognition needed for sustainable IPE; and design courses that become part of the fabric of the curricula.

Conclusion:

Embedding IPE into PMHNP curricula creates increased faculty satisfaction and positive feedback from students and clinical sites.

Can pharmacological and non-pharmacological sleep aids reduce post-operative pain and opioid usage? A review of the literature
Authors: Petrie Kyla , Matzkin Elizabeth
Published: December 2019

Sleep is important for our health and well-being and is especially pertinent to orthopedic surgery because it has been shown to play a role in pain tolerance. Knowing the benefits of sleep, one way to positively impact patients’ pain and recovery post-surgery is to encourage sleep. Zolpidem, a pharmacologic sleep aid, has been shown to decrease opioid consumption, reduce pain, and increase quality of life when briefly used after orthopedic procedures. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a nonpharmacologic sleep aid, has been shown to increase the quality of sleep and sleep time, decrease sleep onset latency, decrease pain, and help patients maintain those gains. Because of the dangers of opioids, it is important for physicians to search for alternative methods to manage their patients’ pain, like zolpidem and CBT-I. More research is needed to determine which method may be the most efficacious and how these can be integrated into patient care.
Rapid Progress toward Elimination of Strongyloidiasis in North Queensland, Tropical Australia, 2000–2018
Authors: Paltridge Matthew , Smith Simon , Traves Aileen , McDermott Robyn , Fang Xin , Blake Chris , Milligan Brad , D’Addona Andrew , Hanson Josh
Published: December 2019

Infection with Strongyloides stercoralis can cause life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. Strongyloidiasis is thought to be hyper-endemic in tropical Australia, but there are limited contemporary seroprevalence data to inform local elimination strategies. To define the temporospatial epidemiology of strongyloidiasis in Far North Queensland, tropical Australia, the serology results of 2,429 individuals tested for the infection between 2000 and 2018 were examined. The proportion of positive tests fell from 36/69 (52.2%) in 2000 to 18/222 (8.1%) in 2018 (P < 0.001). Indigenous patients were more likely to have a positive result (Odds Ratio [OR]: 3.9, 95% CI: 3.0–5.0); however, by the end of the study period, residence in a rural or remote location (OR 3.9 (95% CI: 1.2–13.0), P = 0.03) was a more important risk factor for seropositivity than Indigenous status (OR 1.1 (95% CI: 0.4–3.1) P = 0.91). Ivermectin prescription data were available for the period 2004–2018, with annual prescriptions increasing from 100 to 185 boxes (P = 0.01). The volume of ivermectin dispensed correlated negatively with seropositivity (Spearman’s rho = −0.62, P = 0.02). An expanded environmental health program was implemented during the study period and likely contributed to the declining seroprevalence; however, the relative contributions of the individual components of this program are difficult to quantify. The seroprevalence of strongyloidiasis has declined markedly in this region of tropical Australia despite there being no targeted campaign to address the disease. Expanded prescription of ivermectin and public health interventions targeting the few remaining high-prevalence communities would be expected to expedite disease elimination.
Comparison of thermal behaviour of different land cover types in Slovenia and Czech Republic
Authors: Vysoudil Miroslav , Kácovská Karolina , Ogrin Darko
Published: December 2019

This paper presents the results of a study of thermal behaviour of different land cover types in the Czech Republic and Slovenia. A hand-held thermal camera, Fluke Ti55, was used for data collection. Variation in the values of the surface temperature characteristics reflects the geographically dissimilar spaces. The investigation demonstrated impact of dense green vegetation and water bodies on the balanced thermal behaviour of landscapes in both countries. Thus, they appear to be cold spots with the lowest values. The most obvious variation in surface temperature is associated with artificial areas and bare surfaces. They usually represent hot spots in the landscape. In both countries similar thermal behaviour was found in artificial land cover types as opposed to agricultural land cover types.
Kazimierz Łaski and the scope and significance of the price mechanism
Authors: Toporowski Jan
Published: December 2019

Kazimierz Łaski's first contributions to economics were on the theory of growth and equilibrium in the socialist economy. He gravitated in between Włodzimierz Brus, who argued that the economy could be brought into equilibrium through market mechanisms, and the most profound influence on Łaski, Michał Kalecki. In Kalecki's view, the socialist economy is brought into equilibrium by means of investment and an appropriate wage policy, determined by central planners. Markets and price mechanisms cannot bring about general equilibrium but function to distribute profits among enterprises in the economy. With cost minimisation, markets and prices in socialism, if left to themselves, generate similar deflationary tendencies to the ones that obtain under capitalism. The scope and significance of the price mechanism thus goes beyond its rather trivial application to market equilibrium.
Expression of pendrin and NIS iodide transporters in human breast tumor and peri-tumoral tissue
Authors: Arczewska Katarzyna , Godlewska Marlena , Krasuska Wanda , Łyczkowska Anna , Kiedrowski Mirosław , Czarnocka Barbara
Published: December 2019

Introduction

Thyroid iodide transporters, Na+/I– symporter (NIS) and pendrin (PDS), are responsible for supplying this vital micronutrient for thyroid hormone synthesis by thyroid peroxidase (TPO). Both proteins were shown to be expressed, apart from the thyroid, also in other human tissues, including lactating mammary gland. NIS expression in human breast cancers has been widely studied. On the other hand, until now PDS mRNA levels in breast tumor tissue have been estimated only in high throughput analyses. Previously, we have observed that TPO is expressed in normal and cancerous human breast tissues and shows enzymatic activity. However, biochemical activity of TPO in human breast cancer cells requires iodide transport by NIS and PDS. Therefore, to extend our previous study on TPO expression and function in human breast tumors we performed analysis of NIS and PDS levels in the same group of patients.

Material and methods

The study involved detection of NIS and PDS protein levels by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, as well as mRNA levels by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Results

Here we provide direct evidence that NIS and PDS are expressed in human breast cancer tissue, with NIS levels being increased and PDS levels decreased in tumor tissue. Interestingly, PDS mRNA levels in breast cancer tissue seem to be influenced by the estrogen receptor status and age of the patients, while NIS mRNA levels were dependent on histological type of the tumor.

Conclusions

This study provides valuable information important for consideration in diagnostic or therapeutic application of radioiodine in breast cancer management.
γ-aminobutyric acid alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice through upregulating type B receptors
Authors: Yang Jing , Li Na , Zheng Yuanyuan , Huang Qikun
Published: December 2019

Introduction

In recent years, studies have shown that GABA has a certain therapeutic effect on acute lung injury (ALI), but its specific mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The study was designed to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.

Material and methods

C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group, LPS group, LPS + GABA (10 mg/kg) group and LPS + dexamethasone (Dex, 5 mg/kg) group. The survival rate of each group was observed at different time points after modeling. The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) 1β, 10, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the cell count and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. Lung histopathology and the expression of GABA receptors were observed by HE staining and immunohistochemistry respectively. Lung water content was assessed by wet-dry weight ratio.

Results

GABA could significantly improve the survival rate and prolong the survival time of animals, alleviate the degree of inflammatory injury and pulmonary edema, reduce the content of MPO, down-regulate the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, and up-regulate the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Moreover, GABA could significantly decrease the expression of type A receptors and enhance type B receptors.

Conclusions

GABA can effectively alleviate ALI induced by LPS in mice, and its effect may be related to the upregulation of type B receptors.
The effects of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury on postoperative cognitive function in aged rats
Authors: Wang Yiqiao , Qiu Gaolin , Li Yuanhai
Published: December 2019

Introduction

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality after liver surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hepatic I/R injury on the hippocampus in rats with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).

Material and methods

Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 160, age: 20–25 months, weight: 300–350 g) received I/R surgery with ischemia for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes in different groups. Behavior tests of the Morris water maze (MWM) test and the passive avoidance test were applied. Population spike (PS) of pyramidal cells, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and protein kinase γ (PKCγ) in the hippocampus were observed.

Results

Within 10 days after surgery, in aged rats with varying impaired cognitive function, spike size and spike latency period were reduced, level of PKCγ was decreased and an increased level of NF-κB was observed in the I/R group, especially in the I/R group with ischemia for 40 minutes. The parameters showed no significant difference in rats in the I/R group compared with the sham group at the 18th day after surgery.

Conclusions

Hepatic I/R injury has a negative impact on the postoperative cognitive function in aged rats, leading to hippocampus changes with PS abnormity and level changes of NF-κB, PKCγ. However, this cognitive deficit improved over time.

Purpose

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially foetal cardiopulmonary disease; therefore, rapid risk stratification is necessary to make decisions of appropriate management strategies. The aim of this study was to assess various computed tomography (CT) findings in order to find new prognostic factors of adverse outcome and mortality.

Material and methods

The study enrolled 104 patients with acute PE. Based on their outcome, patients were categorised into four groups. Comorbidities such as ischaemic heart disease were obtained from their medical records. Patients CT angiography were reviewed for recording variables such as main pulmonary artery diameter and right ventricle (RV)/left ventricle (LV) ratio. Patient deaths up to three months since diagnosis of PE had been registered. Logistic regression analysis was performed to find predictors.

Results

Based on multiple logistic regression, RV/LV ratio, LV diameter, and right-sided pulmonary infarction are predictors of mortality in 30 days. An RV/LV ratio of 1.19 could successfully discriminate patients who died within 30 days and those who did not.

Conclusions

RV/LV ratio, LV diameter, right-sided pulmonary infarction, assessed with helical CT, can help predict 30-day mortality.

Published: December 2019

A leitura como exercício vital-cognitivo, que atravessa culturalmente a vida do ser humano, é uma dinâmica criativa fundamental do saber e formação educativa, especialmente em uma visão transdisciplinar.  O presente estudo teve como objetivo apresentar as atividades de Roda de Leitura Literária Transdisciplinar realizadas com as crianças e jovens de instituições sócio educativas pelo Projeto de Extensão “Mãos de Vida”, da UNIVALI.   É um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com base no método hermenêutico fenomenológico, realizado a partir de intervenções educativas com 30 crianças e jovens da Instituição Lar Fabiano de Cristo e Parque Dom Bosco, Itajaí, SC. Os resultados evidenciaram que a organização da “Roda de Leitura Transdisciplinar” proporcionou às crianças e jovens o acesso aos textos literários e valorização da leitura por meio da contação de histórias; mobilizou diferentes linguagens, em especial a oralidade e expressão corporal; ampliou o mundo de fantasia, garantido pelos próprios mecanismos psicológicos envolvidos no imaginário expresso; fortaleceu o equilíbrio psicoemocional e o humanescer; colaborou com as habilidades interpretativas e reflexivas em torno dos temas e entendimento dos valores humanos e sociais; facilitou a interação entre os pares nos jogos expressivos e linguísticos provocadores diversos significados e sentidos para o viver e conhecer.
O Planejamento Telecolaborativo de professores de língua inglesa por meio de dispositivos tecnológicos
Authors: Brossi Giuliana Castro , Egido Alex Alves
Published: December 2019

Inserida na área da Linguística Aplicada e nos campos de atuação profissional e de formação continuada de professores de língua inglesa, esta investigação centra-se no processo de planejamento telecolaborativo, com suporte de dispositivos tecnológicos síncronos e assíncronos, levado a efeito por três professores formadores. Ao analisar, indutivamente, dados gerados por meio de um questionário, buscou-se respostas para as seguintes perguntas de pesquisa: (i) Que dispositivos tecnológicos foram usados durante o processo de planejamento? (ii) Quais as razões para seus usos? (iii) Que (des)vantagens identificamos? Como resultados, evidenciou-se o uso de diferentes dispositivos tecnológicos de interação síncrona e assíncrona, impulsionado pelas diferentes agendas profissionais dos professores formadores, bem como a necessidade de celeridade, gratuidade e as localidades em que os professores se encontravam. Embora poucas desvantagens tenham sido mencionadas, estas centram-se em aspectos externos, enfatizando-se, assim, as vantagens, sendo a principal delas a concretização do planejamento telecolaborativo.
Assistência de enfermagem ao rn prematuro e a família: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Silva Kárita Moniellly da
Published: December 2019

Resumo – Objetivo: identificar os principais fatores de risco a prematuridade; Descrever a Assistência de Enfermagem diante da prematuridade. Metodologia: estudo do tipo exploratório, bibligráfico com análise integrativa, qualitativa da literatura disponível em bibliotecas convencionais e virtuais. Resultados: identificou-se que a prematuridade como causa de mortalidade infantil tem sido estudada em diferentes países, e os estudos constatam que inúmeras são as causas que levam um bebê a nascer prematuro, principalmente as pertinentes ao aparelho genital feminino, alterações placentárias (placenta prévia e descolamento prematuro) e excesso de líquido amniótico. Outros fatores incluem: a idade materna (maior incidência em mães mais jovens), infecções maternas, tipo de gravidez, tipo de parto, apgar no 5º minuto, peso de nascimento, pré-natal inadequado, primiparidade (mais frequente no primeiro filho). Porém, na maioria dos casos, a causa é desconhecida. Considerações finais: É importante que a assistência de enfermagem ao neonato prematuro seja de qualidade, é fundamental acolher às necessidades de repouso, calor, nutrição, higiene, observação e atendimento contínuo aos bebês prematuros. Porém, considera-se que as intervenções de enfermagem devam ser direcionadas para ajudar na transição da vida intrauterina para a extrauterina, mostrando portanto, que esta deve atender não só as necessidades biológicas do neonato prematuro, como também as emocionais.
Palavras-chave: Enfermagem, Assistência e Prematuridade.
O PROTAGONISMO NEGRO NOS CONTOS DE FADAS MODERNOS
Authors: Dutra Aline da Silva , DEBUS Eliane Santana Dias
Published: December 2019

Este artigo busca investigar os contos de fadas modernos, em particular as narrativas que apresentam personagens negras. Para isso, foram selecionados os livros Rapunzel e o Quibungo (2012) e Cinderela e Chico Rei (2015), ambos adaptados por Cristina Agostinho e Ronaldo Simões, e ilustrados por Walter Lara. O referencial para a análise foi ancorado, Nelly Machado (2002), Debus (2006, 2013, 2017), Coelho (2000, 2008), Vale (2001) e demais estudiosos da literatura para infância. A análise permitiu constatar a inserção dos elementos que dão novo significado às narrativas feéricas tradicionais, o que permite compreender e valorizar os elementos da cultura africana e afro-brasileira e a sua importância das releituras contemporâneas para uma educação antirracista.

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) consiste no documento normativo que define o conjunto de conhecimentos constituintes da Educação Básica. Na BNCC, a disciplina de Educação Física encontra-se na Área das Linguagens e classifica as práticas corporais a partir de três elementos fundamentais. Neste estudo, analisou-se o elemento de Organização Interna das práticas corporais adotado na BNCC - Educação Física, à luz do conceito de Lógica Interna da Praxiologia Motriz (PM). Para tanto, realizou-se uma análise teórica a partir do conceito de Lógica Interna, em relação ao elemento Organização Interna. Constatou-se que a Lógica Interna pode subsidiar esse elemento fundamental, com base em critérios da PM que sistematizam essas práticas corporais.

Against the Philosophers: Writing and Identity in Medieval Mediterranean Rhetoric
Authors: Katzir Brandon
Published: December 2019

This article explores antiphilosophical polemics written by Muslim and Jewish thinkers in the medieval Mediterranean world. These writings demonstrate, in both traditions, a struggle with the incorporation of nontraditional texts and interpretations of theology and textuality. My examination of these writings “against the philosophers” suggests that, far from constituting the reflexive, antiphilosophical fundamentalism that typically characterizes assessments of these texts, authors like al-Ghazali, Halevi, and Ibn Arabi were concerned with what they believed to be the subordination of Jewish and Islamic tradition to Greek philosophy—a rhetoric that, for them, undermined the “conditions of identification” for Muslims and Jews. I argue that these antiphilosophical texts highlight the extent to which these thinkers believed that writing was the battleground for identity in the medieval Middle East.
Relações conceituais como elementos constitutivos essenciais dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento
Authors: Moreira Walter
Published: December 2019

Introdução: Para além da simples percepção ou contemplação do objeto, para que se efetue o processo de conhecimento é preciso identificar, reconhecer e estabelecer relações conceituais. Desse modo, é preciso refletir sobre o conceito como elemento a partir do qual se constrói o conhecimento bem como sobre as relações que os conceitos estabelecem entre si nos sistemas e processos de organização do conhecimento. Objetivo: Propõe-se analisar a função das relações conceituais na configuração dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento e comparar tais sistemas entre si por meio da análise da qualidade das relações conceituais que apresentam. Metodologia: Pesquisa de caráter qualitativo e descritivo com sistematização de conceitos. Resultados: As ontologias, tomadas como exemplos avançados de sistema de organização do conhecimento, por seu recurso característico de formalização, podem ser empregadas para explicitar a base ontológica que sustenta, necessariamente, qualquer tipo de sistema de organização do conhecimento. Ainda há carência, contudo, grosso modo, de contribuições mais efetivas da ciência da informação para a compreensão do problema referente à categorização, à classificação e à organização das relações lógico-semânticas entre conceitos no que se refere à construção e manutenção de bases ontológicas para sistemas de organização do conhecimento. Conclusões: As ontologias renovam o interesse no problema relativo à precisão na definição e delimitação dos conceitos que constituem, por suas relações, o conhecimento nos domínios. Essa perspectiva, entretanto, não se apoia exatamente no aspecto de artefato conceitual que caracteriza, de certo modo, as ontologias, mas no seu aspecto ôntico, na possibilidade de se desenhar com elas sistemas de organização conhecimento que expressem terminologia, conceitos e relações mais precisos visando ações de compartilhamento.
