Authors: Singla Chetan , Aggarwal Rajan , Kaur Samanpreet , SHARMA ROHIT
Published: December 2022

Groundwater in Central Punjab is declining at an alarming rate of one meter annually in last two decades and likely to be exhausted up to 300 meter depth in next 2-3 decades as per recent report published in 2018 based upon exhaustive analysis done till 2017 by the relevant agencies (Anonymous, 2018). All the blocks in this zone are over exploited. Rainfall and temperature are predominant meteorological parameters which influence irrigation demand which in turn influences ground water withdrawal; which ultimately influence groundwater depth in the region. Area under rice is increasing due to high returns. So, the trend analysis of these parameters is of paramount importance for sustainability of agriculture in this region. The aim of the present investigation was to study annual trend of precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall for 10 locations in Central Punjab during 1998–2019. The effect of rainfall and rice area on groundwater depth has been also studied.  To achieve this non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's applied to the data series of annual rainfalls, annual maximum and minimum temperature of the ten selected stations. The nonparametric statistical tests applied to series of annual Tmax revealed an increasing trend in all of the locations of the study area. According to results by Sen’s slope estimator, the increasing trend in annual precipitation series was detected at the Tarantaran, Kapurthala,Ludhiana, Moga, Barnala and Jalandhar, while other stations had negative or no trends.

Published: December 2022

Rainfall is a function of space and time and highly variable in space and time. It is important to study these changes for planning purpose and for improvement in operational weather forecasting. It is therefore necessary to make a planning and proper management of total rainfall amount for the welfare of common men. Accordingly, in this paper, the daily rainfall during June-September (JJAS) of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.) during last two decades (2001-2020) is analyzed.  

            Analysis shows that, east U. P. experienced negative departure during 2001 to 2020 except 2003 (20%), 2008 (17%) and 2019 (02%) and highest negative percentage departure (-47%) in the year 2015 and West U.P. also experienced negative departure 2001 to 2020 except 2003 (32%), 2008 (03%), 2010 (0%) and 2018 (01%) and highest negative percentage departure (-56%) in the year 2014. As regards, whole U.P., it received negative percentage departure from the normal for years 2001 to 2020 except during 2003 (24%), 2008 (12%) and highest negative percentage departure (-47%) in the year 2014. Hence, it may be concluded that during most of the years, Uttar Pradesh witnessed negative percentage departures during last two decades excluding only couple of years as mentioned above.

The rainfall variability in respect of west U.P., east U.P. and state as whole for the months of July and August is least and for the months for June and September is highest. Overall, for the whole season, rainfall variability is less than 30 percent.  Rainy days during southwest Monsoon over U.P. are around 59-68 days and average intensity of rainfall is about 10mm per day.

This study assessed the climate change impacts on productivity for major rabi and kharif in Punjab. We compiled data for 35 years (1986–2020) using 5 crops across Punjab to estimate the impact of climate change by using temperature and rainfall. Our results indicate that productivity decreases with an increase in average temperature in most of the crops. The adverse impact of climate change on agricultural production indicates food security threat to farming community. The findings of the study suggest to focuses on the climate-smart agriculture for effective solution to climate risks.
The Effects of Attribution of Peers’ Success and Self-Efficacy on Helping Behaviors in Upward Social Comparisons
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Lee Byung-Yoon , Lee Seon-Young
Published: December 2022

This study attested to the factors affecting helping behaviors in upward social comparison situations as Korean adolescents face fierce competition and compare themselves with superior classmates. It was designed to examine the interaction effect of the teacher factor (attribution of peers’ success) and the student factor (one’s academic, empathic, and academic self-efficacy) on helping behaviors in upward social comparison. This study found that Korean middle school students who received that attribution of their superior peer’s success was based on his/her effort reported less negative emotion and more helping behavior. It also discovered that students’ empathic self-efficacy moderated on relations between attribution of peers’ success and helping behavior. Students with higher empathic self-efficacy reported more helping behavior when they perceived that their superior peer’s achievement was from their effort than those with lower empathic self-efficacy. This study indicated that both the teacher and student factors need to be provided when developing adolescents’ prosociality in upward comparisons.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:

Perioperative cefazolin administration for total joint arthroplasty is a first-line antibiotic recommended by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines for the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). We aim to analyze the clinical viability of giving patients with a documented penicillin allergy (PA) a perioperative full-strength cefazolin “test dose” under anesthesia.

Methods:

This is a retrospective chart review of 2,451 total joint arthroplasties from a high-volume arthroplasty orthopaedic surgeon over a 5-year period from January 2013 through December 2017. This surgeon routinely gave patients with a documented PA a full-strength cefazolin test dose while under anesthesia instead of administrating a second-line antibiotic. The primary outcomes examined were allergic reaction and postoperative infection.

Results:

Cefazolin was given to 87.1% of all patients (1,990) and 46.0% of patients with a PA (143). The total rate of allergic reactions among all patients was 0.5% (11). Only one patient with a documented PA who received cefazolin had an allergic reaction. The reaction was not severe and did not require any additional treatment. In patients who had no reported allergies and received cefazolin, 0.3% (6) had an allergic reaction. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of allergic reaction when comparing patients with and without a PA (P = 0.95). Patients receiving cefazolin had an overall PJI rate of 2.9% (57) versus those patients receiving antibiotics other than cefazolin who sustained a 5.5% PJI rate (16), which was statistically significant (P = 0.02).

Conclusion:

This study found that utilization of a full-strength test dose of cefazolin in patients with a documented PA is a feasible, safe, and effective way of increasing the rate of cefazolin administration and thus mitigating the risk of PJIs.
Comparison of Clinical Guidelines for Authorization of MRI in the Evaluation of Neck Pain and Cervical Radiculopathy in the United States
Authors: Berman Daniel , Holtzman Ari , Sharfman Zachary , Tindel Nathaniel
Published: December 2022

The American College of Radiology has published appropriateness criteria to help guide when to use MRI. Many health insurance carriers use proprietary clinical guidelines for prior authorization of imaging studies. The purpose of this study was to compare the specific criteria in those guidelines, for neck pain both with and without radicular symptoms. An online search was conducted to identify the guidelines for authorization of cervical spine MRI used by the largest commercial insurance carriers in the United States by market share. Guidelines were analyzed for neck pain with and without radiculopathy. Cervical trauma, myelopathy, infection, neoplasm, multiple sclerosis, and postprocedural care were excluded. The remaining criteria were broken down into categories including clinical symptoms, conservative therapy, other required radiologic studies, and clinical re-evaluation. Individual criteria within each of the categories were compared. After evaluation of the top 56 insurance companies in the United States, 30 companies using four main utilization management companies remained for analysis. After direct comparison of publicly available guidelines documents, notable discrepancies existed between the four companies in all subcategories analyzed. In addition, varying amounts of evidence-based literature was identified to support criteria requirements for prior authorization. This study demonstrates that the guidelines used by private health insurance companies for cervical MRI authorization in the setting of neck pain with and without cervical radiculopathy are inconsistent and use objective measures that have not been validated in the literature. We think this warrants additional scrutiny and investigation.

Published: December 2022

Background:

Computer assistance can help surgeons achieve mechanical accurate alignment, but the clinical effect of this technology in different arthroplasty types remains controversial because of conflicting functional outcomes, revision rates, and complication rates. The goal of this study was to compare 90-day medical complications and 1 and 2-year revision surgeries after computer-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (CA-UKA), bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (CA-BKA), and total knee arthroplasty (CA-TKA) with non-computer-assisted procedures.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the Mariner data set of the PearlDiver Patient Records Database from 2010 to 2018. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients who underwent patellofemoral arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, bicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty with or without computer assistance for osteoarthritis. All included patients were followed up for 2 years. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted.

Results:

On multivariable analysis, revision within 1 year was decreased in patients who underwent computer-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty (odds ratio [OR]: 0.541, P = 0.031), CA-UKA (OR: 0.798, P = 0.019), and computer-assisted bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OR: 0.186, P = 0.025) compared with the same surgeries without technology assistance. CA-TKA had decreased odds of revision for aseptic loosening at 2 years (OR: 0.789, P < 0.001). CA-UKA and CA-TKA had decreased risk of overall 90-day medical complications (OR: 0.838, P < 0.001; OR: 0.903, P < 0.001, respectively) and major complications (OR: 0.750, P = 0.004; OR: 0.822, P < 0.001, respectively).

Discussion:

Complication rates and revision surgeries for all arthroplasty types were equivalent or more favorable when computer assistance was used during surgery. Our results quantify some early benefits to using computer assistance in total and partial knee arthroplasties.

С помощью вариационного метода исследованы биэкситонные состояния основного и возбужденного уровней в GaAs сильно сплюснутой эллипсоидальной квантовой точке. Пробная вариационная волновая функция биэкситона сконструирована на одночастичных волновых функций, полученных в рамках геометрического адиабатического приближения. Получены энергии биэкситона от геометрических параметров эллипсоидальной квантовой точки как для основного, так и для возбужденных состояний. Рассчитаны линейный и нелинейный показатели преломления биэкситона для одно- и двухфотонных резонансов как реальные части нелинейной восприимчивости первого и третьего порядка, соответственно. Получены спектры изменения показателя преломления биэкситона для переходов между основными состояниями от энергии фотона при разных значениях малой полуоси эллипсоидальной квантовой точки.

The trial variational wave function of the biexciton is constructed on the basis of single-particle wave functions, obtained in the scope of the adiabatic approximation. The biexciton energies for both ground and excited levels as a function of the ellipsoidal quantum dot’s small semiaxis are obtained. The linear and nonlinear refractive indexes of the biexciton around one- and twophoton resonances are calculated as real parts of the first- and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities, respectively. The spectra of changes of the biexciton refractive index for transitions between ground states as a function of the photon energy are obtained for different values of the small semiaxis of the ellipsoidal quantum dot.

Экспериментально показано, что увеличение интенсивности стоячей звуковой волны в разрядной трубке приводит к уменьшению температуры газа на оси положительного столба разряда аргона и росту температуры газа на стенке трубки вследствие возникновения вихревого движения в поле звуковой волы. При этом уменьшается радиальный перепад температур по радиусу положительного столба.

Исследованы плотности водно-солевого раствора и водно-солевого раствора ДНК в зависимости от концентрации NaCl в растворе при облучении их миллиметровыми электромагнитными волнами нетепловой интенсивности резонансными для колебаний гексагональных водных молекулярных структур частотой 50.3 ГГц. Исследования показали, что при облучении плотность растворов увеличивается. Изменение плотности из-за облучения минимально для 0.9% раствора NaCl (физиологического раствора). Вискозиметрические измерения показали, что для физиологического раствора ДНК облучение (которое приводит к дегидратации ДНК) не приводит к заметному изменению вторичной и третичной структуры ДНК.

The investigations show that in the result of radiation the density of the solution increases. In the result of radiation, the minimal change of the density is observed in the case of 0.9% NaCl solution. The viscosity data of DNA solution prove that the radiation (which brings to DNA dehydration) is not accompanied by visible changes of DNA secondary and thirdly structures.

Published: December 2022

Desde 2019, las Universidades para el Bienestar Benito Juárez García (UBBJG) han sido impulsadas como un programa para ampliar el acceso a la educación superior (ES) en México. El objetivo de este análisis es mostrar en qué tipo de mercados de ES se ubican las 145 sedes de las UBBJG, para así identificar en qué medida el programa cumple con su objetivo de ampliar el acceso a la ES en las regiones que más lo requieren. Para ello, se utiliza la propuesta de desiertos educativos, desarrollada por Hillman y Weichman (2016), en la cual las regiones geográficas y sus mercados educativos locales pueden clasificarse de acuerdo con la existencia o ausencia de opciones de ES. Nuestro estudio encontró que 92 sedes se ubican en un desierto educativo, lo que significa que el 63 % de ellas cumple con el objetivo de llevar ES a regiones que carecen de oferta de este nivel educativo, esto implica reorientar esfuerzos para focalizar de mejor manera la atención a personas que desean transitar hacia la ES.

En la educación superior, los docentes son los principales actores en el proceso de mejora de la calidad educativa, puesto que, si tienen un nivel óptimo de competencias docentes, se espera que brinden una educación de calidad. En consecuencia, la evaluación institucional externa debe poner especial atención en la evaluación de su desempeño para un correcto aseguramiento de la calidad educativa. Indagar el énfasis que se da a las habilidades de enseñanza del docente universitario en los procesos de evaluación externa en México. Es una investigación cualitativa, descriptiva e interpretativa de análisis documental. Las unidades de análisis fueron los indicadores, estándares y categorías utilizados por los organismos de evaluación y acreditación de educación superior en México; Comités Interinstitucionales para la Evaluación de la Educación Superior (CIEES) y el Consejo para la Acreditación Superior A.C. (COPAES). Los documentos analizados fueron manuales metodológicos, estatutos, marcos de referencia, entre otros considerados pertinentes para la investigación. Se evidencia que las categorías, indicadores, estándares y criterios, utilizados por los organismos de evaluación institucional, externa y de acreditación de México, tienen elementos centrados en el desempeño docente y las actividades que permiten el acercamiento pedagógico con los estudiantes. Para que los organismos evaluadores contribuyan al equilibrio entre las actividades de enseñanza e investigación del docente universitario, es necesario que se incluyan más criterios que valoren el desempeño docente desde la mirada pedagógica y la educación centrada en el estudiante.

The popularity of bio - based thermoplastic materials with applications in a variety of industries, including consumer goods, automotive, medical equipment, and so on, has grown significantly in recent years. This increase in the market for biodegradable materials is closely related to the growing concerns of both users and industry, especially in relation to replacing the conventional or non-biodegradable polymeric products on a widespread scale. This study examined the tribological performance (friction coefficient) and wear of biodegradable polymers PLA, HD PLA Green, and Impact PLA Gray in various meteorological testing conditions on a simulation stand that replicate the operation mode of worm-worm wheel assembly as part of the drive mechanism of car wipers. The Impact PLA Gray sample had the greatest average value of a wear coefficient and wear resisting during simulation and best on testing. The lowest performance has been recorded by the PLA sample because its melting temperature is the lowest, thus affecting its resistance to friction and wear. Regarding the possibility of practical use of the worm wheel in the proposed assembly, it is recommended only to use at negative temperatures, below -10°C.

There is a paucity of empirical research documenting the errors made by Arab learners, specifically those enrolled in higher education, when acquiring spoken English. The current study examined the most common types of verbal errors made by 20 Arab tertiary students of English in Israel. Data were collected based on in-class oral presentations made by first-year students and observations of English lessons taught by third-year students. The most frequent errors were classified into three main categories: (a) grammar and syntax, (b) pronunciation, and (c) vocabulary choice. 

Errors were documented by the researchers, who also served as course instructors/mentors. A significant number of errors (1050) were documented in the delivery of the presentations and lessons. Analysis of the results suggest that the documented errors are largely attributable to L1 interference (interlingual causes), although some derive from challenges inherent to English itself (intralingual). The importance of this study is that it clarifies the difficulties Israeli Arab learners face while speaking English as a foreign language, which can cast light on potential remedies.

Leche sin prados: los factores ambientales e institucionales en el consumo lácteo (Valencia, 1870-1936)
Authors: Calatayud Salvador , Medina-Albaladejo Francisco J.
Published: December 2022

La transición nutricional es un rasgo significativo del cambio social y económico en las sociedades desarrolladas. Uno de sus componentes es el aumento del consumo de lácteos, que hasta ahora parecía característico de la Europa Atlántica y de las grandes ciudades. Este trabajo muestra que también afectó a una ciudad mediterránea de tamaño medio como Valencia. La especialización hortofrutícola no impidió la cría de vacas en la huerta circundante y las iniciativas públicas y privadas de mejora ganadera incrementaron los rendimientos. Finalmente, los sistemas de distribución y venta se fueron transformando conforme la huerta era invadida por la expansión urbana.
ensayo bibliográfico sobre el integralismo brasileño
Authors: Pereira Gonçalves Leandro
Published: December 2022

El integralismo brasileño es considerado como el movimiento fascista de mayor éxito en Latinoamérica. Creado en 1932 con el nombre de Ação Integralista Brasileira (AIB) [Acción Integralista Brasileña], este grupo desarrolló su actividad pública hasta el año 1937, cuando fue ilegalizado. Durante el Estado Novo, Plínio Salgado, jefe nacional perpetuo del integralismo, se exilió en Portugal entre 1939 y 1946. Al regresar a Brasil en el periodo de restauración democrática, asumió la dirección del Partido de Representação Popular (PRP) [Partido de Representación Popular], que permaneció activo hasta 1965, cuando, a consecuencia del golpe civil-militar, fue disuelto, por lo que a los exintegralistas se incorporaron en su mayoría al partido artificial del régimen dictatorial, la Aliança Nacional Renovadora (ARENA, Alianza Renovadora Nacional), donde tuvieron una actuación discreta. Desde 1975 hasta hoy, diversos grupos han tratado de reavivar el integralismo en Brasil. Este ensayo reúne las presentaciones de la bibliografía, los estudios interpretativos y las reflexiones que pueden contribuir a la comprensión de las grandes líneas del integralismo brasileño.

Published: December 2022

Introdução: A dor femoropatelar (DFP) tem sido frequentemente associada a anormalidades no alinhamento dos membros inferiores e tronco, principalmente durante atividades de descarga de peso. Nesse contexto, fatores proximais e locais têm sido amplamente discutidos. Fatores distais também podem estar envolvidos e precisam ser investigados com mais detalhes. Nosso objetivo foi comparar a cinemática do complexo tornozelo/pé em mulheres com pés pronados e dor femoropatelar pormeio de cinemática tridimensional de mulheres assintomáticas durante a execução dos testes step down anterior e lateral. Métodos: Cinquenta mulheres foram divididas em dois grupos: controle (n=16); e dor patelofemoral (n=34). Todos os voluntários foram avaliados usando captura de movimento tridimensional durante os testes step down anterior e lateral. Para cada sessão, foram realizadas nove repetições de cada teste clínico no membro mais doloroso das mulheres com DFP e no membro dominante das mulheres do grupo controle. A mobilidade do complexo tornozelo/pé foi medida e a amplitude de movimento foi calculada para todos os segmentos. Os dois grupos foram comparados por meio de análise multivariada (MANOVA). Resultados: As mulheres do grupo DFP apresentaram menor flexão do joelho e mobilidade significativamente maior de: retropé em relação à tíbia e ao laboratório; do antepé em relação à tíbia; e do antepé em relação ao retropé. Conclusão: Mulheres com DFP apresentaram maior mobilidade do complexo tornozelo/pé durante os testes de step down anterior e lateral, quando comparadas com mulheres assintomáticas.
Questões éticas e pesquisa em educação: diálogos com Paulo Freire
Authors: Vieira Maria Nilceia De Andrade , Côco Valdete
Published: December 2022

No contexto de desafios relacionados ao desenvolvimento de pesquisas em educação, este texto aborda contribuições das ideias de Paulo Freire ao percurso teórico-metodológico de uma pesquisa de doutorado, concluída em 2021, que focalizou a interlocução entre a formação continuada e a avaliação institucional na educação infantil. Em uma abordagem qualitativa e na perspectiva de estudo teórico, este artigo de cunho bibliográfico-documental discute acerca de questões éticas, tomando por base reflexões presentes na obra “Pedagogia da Autonomia: saberes necessários à prática educativa”. As análises evidenciam implicações do pensamento freireano para a compreensão da pesquisa como ato ético, político e pedagógico que pode produzir, por meio da valorização de nossa presença no mundo, a convicção de que mudar é possível e, desse modo, fortalecer movimentos de transformações sociais.

This study aimed to quantify the differences on pain sensitivity and motor performance ankle plantiflexor muscles after performing an isometric versus an isotonic exercise task. A parallel experimental trial was carried out at the European University of the Canary Islands. A total of 47 healthy volunteers were recruited and randomly assigned to a group receiving an isometric exercise (n = 23) and a group receiving an isotonic exercise (n = 24). Pain threshold to pressure was measured at four specific points of the triceps surae neurosensory territory in medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, Tendo Achilles osteotendinous unit and aponeurosis plantar insertion. Furthermore, the two-point discriminatory threshold of the osteotendinous junction of the Achilles tendon and maximum voluntary contraction for plantar flexion were assessed before and after the intervention. There were no statistically significant intergroup differences for any of the variables PPT-MG (U Mann Whitney = 25; [1.265-0.650], p = .527), PPT-LG (U Mann Whitney = 25; [1.325-0.945]; p = .527) y PPT-TA (U Mann Whitney = 25; [-1.465-0.405] p = .527), D2P (U Mann Whitney = 30.5, IC95% [-0.800-1.300], p = .630) and MVC-PF (U Mann Whitney = 26.5, IC95% [-8.400, 2.900], p = .386). Isometric exercise was the only one able to modify the PPT-AP before and after treatment in a statistically significant way. In contrast, isotonic exercise was the training that demonstrated clinically significant changes in 2PD and MVC-PF before and after treatment. No statistically significant changes were identified between both groups in any of the variables studied.

Authors: Rebollo-Sastoque Sonia Esperanza
Published: December 2022

Objetivo: identificar fortalezas y oportunidades de mejora en los servicios transfusionales de la red pública, para orientar la asesoría, asistencia técnica y capacitación que realiza la Coordinación de la Red Distrital de Sangre en las cuatro Subredes Integradas de Servicios de Salud de Bogotá. Métodos: se aplicó cuestionario con 81 preguntas relacionadas con disponibilidad, conservación, reserva, entrega, uso y descarte de hemocomponentes, Programa Hemovigilancia, Comité Transfusión Sanguínea, auditoría médica transfusional y capacitación en medicina transfusional. Se verificó stock de sangre, datos estadísticos y diligenciamiento de formatos utilizados durante el proceso transfusional. Se confirmó información del acto médico antes, durante y después de la transfusión a través de revisión de historias clínicas de pacientes transfundidos. Resultados: el 100% de los servicios transfusionales atienden 24 horas; disponen de equipos, reactivos e insumos necesarios y suficientes; tienen historia clínica automatizada y contrato con banco de sangre. Los procesos y procedimientos están establecidos por la Subred. El 31,3 % están acreditados, calculan stock y disponen de plan de emergencia ante necesidades de sangre; el 39,7 % de unidades incineradas fue por fecha de vencimiento; los servicios que atienden maternas disponen de paquete para código rojo; el 93,7 % cumple criterios técnicos para conservación de hemocomponentes; el 56,2 % asegura la cadena de frío hasta la cama del paciente. En las historias clínicas revisadas no se registró el motivo de transfusión; el 50 % no tiene notas de enfermería sobre control de líquidos y seguimiento durante el proceso transfusional; el 81,2 % no tiene registro de monitoreo médico los primeros 15 minutos de transfusión; el 100 % de los servicios tienen implementado el Programa de Hemovigilancia, sin evidencia del total de análisis de reacciones adversas a la transfusión moderadas y severas. La Guía de Práctica Clínica Transfusional adoptada no tiene evidencias de implementación. Conclusión: la asistencia técnica y capacitación deben orientarse a trabajo en red, cálculo y manejo del stock, Programa de Hemovigilancia, Guías de Práctica Clínica Transfusional y auditoría médica transfusional.
