Purpose

To describe the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes in a nationwide cohort of patients with giant prolactinomas.

Methods

Register-based study of patients with giant prolactinomas [serum prolactin (PRL) > 1000 µg/L, tumor diameter ≥40 mm] identified in the Swedish Pituitary Register 1991-2018.

Results

Eighty-four patients [mean age 47 (SD ±16) years, 89% men] were included in the study. At diagnosis, the median PRL was 6305 µg/L (range 1450-253 000), the median tumor diameter was 47 mm (range 40-85), 84% of the patients had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and 71% visual field defects. All patients were treated with a dopamine agonist (DA) at some point. Twenty-three (27%) received 1 or more additional therapies, including surgery (n = 19), radiotherapy (n = 6), other medical treatments (n = 4), and chemotherapy (n = 2). Ki-67 was ≥10% in 4/14 tumors. At the last follow-up [median 9 years (interquartile range (IQR) 4-15)], the median PRL was 12 µg/L (IQR 4-126), and the median tumor diameter was 22 mm (IQR 3-40). Normalized PRL was achieved in 55%, significant tumor reduction in 69%, and combined response (normalized PRL and significant tumor reduction) in 43%. In the primary DA-treated patients (n = 79), the reduction in PRL or tumor size after the first year predicted the combined response at the last follow-up (P < .001 and P = .012, respectively).

Conclusion

DAs effectively reduced PRL and tumor size, but approximately 1 patient out of 4 needed multimodal treatment. Our results suggest that the response to DA after 1 year is useful for identifying patients who need more careful monitoring and, in some cases, additional treatment.

Context

Somapacitan is a long-acting GH derivative for treatment of GH deficiency (GHD).

Objective

Evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of somapacitan in children with GHD after 2 years of treatment and after the switch from daily GH.

Design

A randomized, multinational, open-labelled, controlled parallel group phase 3 trial, comprising a 52-week main phase and 3-year safety extension (NCT03811535).

Setting

Eighty-five sites across 20 countries.

Patients

A total of 200 treatment-naïve prepubertal patients were randomized and exposed; 194 completed the 2-year period.

Interventions

Patients were randomized 2:1 to somapacitan (0.16 mg/kg/wk) or daily GH (0.034 mg/kg/d) during the first year, after which all patients received somapacitan 0.16 mg/kg/wk.

Main outcome measures

Height velocity (HV; cm/year) at week 104. Additional assessments included HV SD score (SDS), height SDS, IGF-I SDS, and observer-reported outcomes.

Results

HV was sustained in both groups between 52 and 104 weeks. At week 104, mean (SD) for HV between weeks 52 and 104 was 8.4 (1.5) cm/year after continuous somapacitan treatment and 8.7 (1.8) cm/year after 1 year of somapacitan treatment following switch from daily GH. Secondary height-related endpoints also supported sustained growth. Mean IGF-I SDS during year 2 was similar between groups and within normal range (−2 to +2). Somapacitan was well tolerated, with no safety or tolerability issues identified. GH patient preference questionnaire results show that most patients and their caregivers (90%) who switched treatment at year 2 preferred once-weekly somapacitan over daily GH treatment.

Conclusions

Somapacitan in children with GHD showed sustained efficacy and tolerability for 2 years, and after switching from daily GH. Patients/caregivers switching from daily GH expressed a preference for somapacitan.

Progesterone serum levels have been identified as a potential predictor for treatment effect in men with advanced prostate cancer, which is an androgen-driven disease. Although progesterone is the most abundant sex steroid in orchiectomized (ORX) male mice, the origins of progesterone in males are unclear.

To determine the origins of progesterone and androgens, we first determined the effect of ORX, adrenalectomy (ADX), or both (ORX + ADX) on progesterone levels in multiple male mouse tissues. As expected, intratissue androgen levels were mainly testicular derived. Interestingly, progesterone levels remained high after ORX and ORX + ADX with the highest levels in white adipose tissue and in the gastrointestinal tract. High progesterone levels were observed in mouse chow and exceptionally high progesterone levels were observed in food items such as dairy, eggs, and beef, all derived from female animals of reproductive age. To determine if orally ingested progesterone contributes to tissue levels of progesterone in males, we treated ORX + ADX and sham mice with isotope-labeled progesterone or vehicle by oral gavage. We observed a significant uptake of labeled progesterone in white adipose tissue and prostate, suggesting that dietary progesterone may contribute to tissue levels of progesterone. In conclusion, although adrenal-derived progesterone contributes to intratissue progesterone levels in males, nonadrenal progesterone sources also contribute. We propose that dietary progesterone is absorbed and contributes to intratissue progesterone levels in male mice. We speculate that food with high progesterone content could be a significant source of progesterone in males, possibly with consequences for men undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.
Terracene
Authors: Mameni Salar
Published: July 2023

In Terracene Salar Mameni historicizes the popularization of the scientific notion of the Anthropocene alongside the emergence of the global war on terror. Mameni theorizes the Terracene as an epoch marked by a convergence of racialized militarism and environmental destruction. Both the Anthropocene and the war on terror centered the antagonist figures of the Anthropos and the terrorist as responsible for epochal changes in the new geological and geopolitical world orders. In response, Mameni shows how the Terracene requires radically new engagements with terra (the earth), whose intelligence resides in matters such as oil and phenomena like earthquakes and fires. Drawing on the work of artists whose practices interrogate histories of settler-colonial and imperial interests in land and resources in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Kuwait, Syria, Palestine, and other regions most affected by the war on terror, Mameni offers speculative paths into the aesthetics of the Terracene.

Published: July 2023

Rehabilitation programs for patients with COPD are based on physical exercises usage, but accounting low tolerance to physical activity, this is not always a real task. The aim is to study the effect of haloaerosoltherapy (HAT) and complex rehabilitation treatment based on it on functional recovery of COPD patients. Materials and methods: 133 patients with COPD (GOLD II-III) beyond acute period were examined. Bronchial obstruction, intensity of clinical manifestations, disturbances of cardiovascular system were investigated. The 6-minute walk test was conducted. Results: Before treatment, it has been shown that exercise tolerance significantly depended on severity of bronchial obstruction, intensity of clinical manifestations and degree of cardiovascular risk. Treatment was carried out according to three treatment complexes (TC). TC-1 was based on HAT usage with certain concentration and dispersion of aerosol, 18-20 seances per course. In TC-2, singlet oxygen therapy was included, in TC-3 mineral water was administered as drinking use and inhalation. After course of treatment, walking distance covered in 6 minutes has been increased in patients of all groups. When using complex treatment, these changes were more pronounced. Con-clusions: HAT with appropriate dispersion and concentration of haloaerosol promotes in-creasing tolerance to physical activity and may be used as a stage of physical rehabilitation with possible subsequent therapeutic physical exercises. Notably pronounced positive dy-namics of studied data was noted in COPD patients convalescents after COVID-19.

Authors: Mocanu George Danut , Murariu Gabriel
Published: July 2023

Background: Explosive strength or muscle power plays a decisive role in the motor performance of all athletes. Purpose: Analysis of muscle strength variations for female students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport/undergraduate level, according to sports specializations. Mate-rial and method: The study included 77 women (age = 20.48 ± 1.37 years, weight = 58.79 ± 8.92 kg, height = 166.24 ± 7.13 cm), divided into 3 evaluation subgroups (Non-athletes/NA = 40 cases, Team sports games/TSG = 17 cases and IS/Individual sports = 20 cases). Explosive strength rating was based on 7 lower body tests and 6 upper body tests. Manova parametric techniques were applied. Results: The analysis of variance indicates significant differences between the 3 defined groups, the F values correspond to thresholds p <0.05. Pairwise analysis highlights the statistical superiority of TSG and IS groups compared to NA. We noted better values of the TSG group of women in all upper body strength assessment tests, but these differences are not significant (p>0.05). Top performance values are dominated by sprinters and volleyball players for the low-er body, respectively by handball, volleyball and karate players for the upper body, as-pects confirmed by the studied sources. Conclusion: We did not identify significant differences be-tween the groups of athletes (TSG and IS), and the top values according to sports specialization reinforce the results of other similar studies, the specific effort obviously infusing the perfor-mance in the muscle strength tests.

Το έλλειμμα στη λειτουργική συνδεσιμότητα (functional dysconnectivity) του εγκεφάλου, όπως εντοπίζεται σε δεδομένα rsfMRI, έχει συνδεθεί με γνωστικά ελλείματα στη σχιζοφρένεια.. Σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής είναι η ανί- χνευση επιδράσεων στη λειτουργική συνδεσιμότητα του εγκεφάλου ασθενών με σχιζοφρένεια που υποβλήθηκαν στην Ολοκληρωμένη Ψυχολογική Θερα- πεία (IPT). Η IPT αποτελεί ένα πρόγραμμα θεραπευτικής παρέμβασης βασι- σμένο στη γνωσιακή και τη συμπεριφοριστική προσέγγιση. Προς το σκοπό αυτό, κατασκευάσαμε ενσωματωμένα FCN για τη μοντελοποίηση της πλαστι- κότητας των εγκεφαλικών συνδέσεων Στην παρούσα μελέτη, συμμετείχαν 31 ασθενείς με σχιζοφρένεια. Οι ασθενείς χωρίστηκαν αρχικά σε δύο ομάδες, η μια ομάδα υποβλήθηκε στην IPT, ενώ η άλλη σε μία μη εξειδικευμένη ισοδύ- ναμης έντασης ψυχολογική θεραπεία ελέγχου σε μία μη τυχαιοποιημένη κλινι- κή δοκιμή (non randomized clinical trial). Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης έδει- ξαν βελτίωση των εκτελεστικών και κοινωνικών λειτουργιών, της ψυχοπαθο- λογίας και του συνολικού επιπέδου λειτουργικότητας μόνο για την ομάδα θε- ραπείας IPT. Ακόμη, για κάποιους δείκτες, η βελτίωση παρέμεινε ανιχνεύσιμη κατά την παρακολούθηση των ασθενών ένα έτος μετά το πέρας του θεραπευ- τικού προγράμματος. Για την κατασκευή λειτουργικών δικτύων συνδεσιμότη- τας από δεδομένα rsfMRI, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν η ICA και η ISOMAP, ένας μη γραμμικός αλγόριθμος εκμάθησης πολλαπλοτήτων. Λειτουργική δυσλειτουρ- γία σε καθολικό (global) και τοπικό επίπεδο εντοπίστηκε στους ασθενείς μέσω σύγκρισης με μια ομάδα ελέγχου 17 υγιών. Συγκεκριμένα, οι διαφορές εντο- πίστηκαν στο δίκτυο κατάστασης ηρεμίας (DMN) και στο μετωπιαίο βρεγματι- κό δίκτυο (FPN), όπου η λειτουργική συνδεσιμότητα αντιστράφηκε προς την κατεύθυνση των υγιών μόνο για την ομάδα που έλαβε το θεραπευτικό πρό- γραμμα IPT. Αυτά τα αποτελέσματα αποκατάστασης διατηρήθηκαν κατά την παρακολούθηση ενός έτους μετά το πέρας της θεραπείας για το DMN, αλλά όχι και για το FPN. Η μελέτη αυτή παρουσιάζει ενδείξεις που προτείνουν τη χρήση rsfMRI ως βιοδείκτη (biomarker) για την εποπτεία και παρακολούθηση παρεμβάσεων γνωστικής αποκατάστασης για τη σχιζοφρένεια.
Περικλής Γιαννόπουλος (1869-1910)
Authors: Χρυσάφη Ανδρονίκη
Published: July 2023

Η διατριβή εξετάζει την προσωπικότητα και το έργο του δοκιμιογράφου και αισθητιστή συγγραφέα Περικλή Γιαννόπουλου (1869-1910), ο οποίος δραστηριοποιήθηκε στο μεταίχμιο του 19ου προς τον εικοστό αιώνα. Ο Γιαννόπουλος, παρά τον σύντομο βίο του, είχε μια έντονη συνομιλία και αλληλεπίδραση με τα πνευματικά κινήματα και τις προσωπικότητες της εποχής του, ενώ άφησε το αποτύπωμά του στον εικοστό αιώνα. Επηρέασε κυρίως στη λογοτεχνική Γενιά του Τριάντα, ως προς το ιδεολόγημα της ελληνικότητας και τη συγκρότηση της εθνικής ταυτότητας. Παρόλα αυτά, η ιδιόρρυθμη προσωπικότητά του και η αυτοκτονία του, που προσέλαβε διαστάσεις θρύλου, επισκίασαν το έργο του, το οποίο παρέμεινε επί πολλά χρόνια εγκατεσπαρμένο σε διάφορα έντυπα, λησμονημένο και αναξιοποίητο κατά ένα μεγάλο μέρος. Για έναν αιώνα η παραγωγή τού Γιαννόπουλου αντιμετωπίστηκε αποσπασματικά, μονόπλευρα και συχνά υποτιμητικά, ενώ ο ίδιος συνδέθηκε με ιδεολογικούς χώρους του ακραίου εθνικισμού. Η διατριβή εξετάζει την προϊστορία του αισθητιστή δοκιμιογράφου, τις καταβολές και τα πρότυπα που ακολούθησε. Αναλύεται η προσωπικότητά του, η αλληλόδραση με το πνευματικό περιβάλλον της πρωτεύουσας και την κοινωνική, πολιτική και οικονομική πραγματικότητα στη στροφή του εικοστού αιώνα και ερμηνεύεται ο εθελούσιος θάνατός του. Το έργο του παρουσιάζεται στο σύνολό του, ενώ συμπληρώθηκε με ανεύρετα κείμενα και επιστολές που εντοπίστηκαν σε ιδιωτικές πηγές έως και το 2022. Η διατριβή ολοκληρώνεται με την πρόσληψη του έργου του Γιαννόπουλου στον εικοστό αιώνα και την επιρροή που άσκησε στη διανόηση και δη σε ιδιαίτερες στιγμές της νεοελληνικής ιστορίας.
Is the Future Human or Posthuman? Apocalypse, Technoscience and Survival in Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam Trilogy and Hugh Howey's Silo Trilogy

Published: July 2023

Αυτή η διατριβή επικεντρώνεται στη τριλογία MaddAddam της Μάργκαρετ Άτγουντ και τη τριλογία Silo του Χιού Χάουι. Ο στόχος αυτής της κριτικής έρευνας είναι να ιδωθούν αυτά τα έργα ξεχωριστά αλλά και σε συνδυασμό έτσι ώστε να εξετασθεί η απεικόνιση των ανθρώπινων και μεταανθρώπινων χαρακτήρων μέσα στο πλαίσιο των τεχνοεπιστημονικών εξελίξεων. Αυτή η εργασία λαμβάνει υπόψιν της θεωρίες ουμανιστών και μεταουμανιστών όπως ο Τόνι Ντέιβις, ο Πολ Κούρτζ, η Ρόσι Μπρεντότι και ο Κάρι Γούλφ για να εντοπίσει τη στάση της Άτγουντ προς την δυτική τεχνοεπιστήμη. Επιπλέον, αναλύει την απεικόνιση των μεθόδων παρακολούθησης και της τεχνολογίας των υπολογιστών ως πολιτικά εργαλεία καταπίεσης και χειραγώγησης στο έργο του Χάουι. Η αποκάλυψη στη τριλογία του Χάουι είναι το αποτέλεσμα παγκόσμιων πολιτικών αντιπαλοτήτων και της διάβρωσης της δημοκρατίας και των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων. Και η Άτγουντ και ο Χάουι εξερευνούν τους όρους της επιβίωσης στις εχθρικές συνθήκες ενός μετα-αποκαλυπτικού κόσμου και εικάζουν σχετικά με την ικανότητα των ανθρώπων να προσαρμοστούν στις νέες περιβαλλοντικές πραγματικότητες. Τέλος, αυτή η διατριβή εξετάζει την αναθεωρητική απεικόνιση του μετα-αποκαλυπτικού ήρωα εκ μέρους των συγγραφέων σε μια προσπάθεια να ανατρέψουν και να αντικαταστήσουν τον στερεοτυπικό αρσενικό μετα-αποκαλυπτικό ήρωα με δυνατούς θηλυκούς χαρακτήρες. Αυτή η μελέτη καταλήγει στο συμπέρασμα ότι και η Άτγουντ και ο Χάουι χρησιμοποιούν την μετα-αποκαλυπτική αφήγηση για να εκφράσουν ειλικρινείς ανησυχίες σχετικά με σύγχρονες τεχνοεπιστημονικές εξελίξεις και τη πιθανή συνεισφορά των επιστημόνων και των τεχνοκρατών σε ένα αποκαλυπτικό γεγονός που θα καθορίσει τη τροχιά του μέλλοντος της ανθρωπότητας. Για την Άτγουντ, η ανθρωπότητα φαίνεται να έχει φτάσει σε ένα ξεπερασμένο και αυτοκαταστροφικό στάδιο που οδηγεί στη πιθανή εξόντωση και αντικατάσταση της από ένα υβριδικό είδος, ενώ ο Χάουι δίνει έμφαση στο πνεύμα αντίστασης και αντοχής της ανθρωπότητας απέναντι σε ένα καταπιεστικό καθεστώς που χρησιμοποιεί τεχνοεπιστημονικά εργαλεία για να επιβάλλει και να προωθήσει μια καταπιεστική πολιτική ατζέντα στο όνομα της επιβίωσης.

Σκοπός αυτής της διδακτορικής έρευνας είναι να μελετήσει την υιοθέτηση καινοτομιών τεχνολογίας πληροφορικής και τηλεπικοινωνιών στην υγεία και πιο συγκεκριμένα γιατί και πως συστήματα τηλεϊατρικής υιοθετούνται επιτυχώς. Μελετήσαμε την διαδικασία υιοθέτησης του ΕΔΙΤ, ενός συστήματος τηλεϊατρικής το οποίο αναπτύχθηκε και εισήχθη στο Εθνικό Σύστημα Υγείας κατά τη διάρκεια της οικονομικής κρίσης στην Ελλάδα και το οποίο ακόμα λειτουργεί. Εστιάζουμε στο να προσδιορίσουμε τους παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν την υιοθέτηση της τηλεϊατρικής, τον ρόλο τους και τις σχέσεις μεταξύ τους, έτσι ώστε να δημιουργήσουμε ένα εννοιολογικό μοντέλο για την επιτυχή υλοποίηση και υιοθέτηση παρόμοιων έργων τηλεϊατρικής. Η κεντρική ερευνητική ερώτηση που απαντά η παρούσα έρευνα είναι: «Ποιοι είναι οι παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν την υιοθέτηση ενός συστήματος Τηλεϊατρικής στο Ελληνικό Δημόσιο Σύστημα Υγείας;»Το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο της έρευνας ήταν οι παράγοντες της υιοθέτησης καινοτομίας προερχόμενοι από τις βιβλιογραφικές ροές της Καινοτομίας, των Πληροφοριακών Συστημάτων και των Πληροφοριακών Συστημάτων Υγείας. Το αποτέλεσμα της βιβλιογραφικής επισκόπησης ήταν η δημιουργία ενός ερευνητικού πλαισίου για την υιοθέτηση της τηλεϊατρικής, το οποίο καθοδήγησε την συλλογή των δεδομένων. Βασισμένοι στη φύση του κύριου ερευνητικού ερωτήματός μας και των υποερωτημάτων, υιοθετήσαμε ποιοτική μεθοδολογία για την συλλογή και ανάλυση των δεδομένων. Η κύρια πηγή των δεδομένων ήταν συνεντεύξεις με ανθρώπους που χρησιμοποιούν το σύστημα ή έχουν ρόλους κλειδιά στο υπό μελέτη έργο. Τα δεδομένα που συλλέχθηκαν, αναλύθηκαν σύμφωνα με την μεθοδολογία της «Εμπειρικά Θεμελιωμένης Θεωρίας» (Grounded Theory). Τα αποτελέσματα της «ανοιχτής κωδικοποίησης» και «αξονικής κωδικοποίησης» παρείχαν τις εισόδους για την ανάπτυξη ενός ολοκληρωμένου εννοιολογικού μοντέλου για την υιοθέτηση της τηλεϊατρικής βασισμένο στο «Μοντέλο Παραδείγματος» (Paradigm Model). Το μοντέλο μας συνεισφέρει με το να εξετάζει την υιοθέτηση τηλεϊατρικής ως μια διαδικασία καινοτομίας και ως αποτέλεσμα καινοτομίας και επιπλέον με το να αναδεικνύει την σχέση μεταξύ των παραγόντων προερχομένων από διαφορετικούς επιστημονικούς κλάδους στην επισκόπηση βιβλιογραφίας. Μια άλλη συνεισφορά του μοντέλου μας είναι ότι περιλαμβάνει την μελέτη της επίδραση του πλαισίου κρίσης και ότι είναι αρκετά γενικό ώστε να εφαρμοστεί και σε άλλες περιπτώσεις πέρα από συστήματα τηλεϊατρικής. Επιπλέον, το μοντέλο μας προσφέρει καθοδήγηση στους επαγγελματίες, σε τρία επίπεδα ενεργειών («Επίπεδο Μετασχηματιστικής Δυναμικής», «Επίπεδο Διαχείρισης Προσωπικού», «Επίπεδο Διαχείρισης Τεχνολογίας»), για την επιτυχή υιοθέτηση παρομοίων συστημάτων τηλεϊατρικής.
O ρόλος της αντιληπτής οργανωσιακής κουλτούρας στη σχέση μεταξύ ηγεσίας και οργανωσιακής ταύτισης: μια πολυεπίπεδη ανάλυση

Published: July 2023

Η παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία είχε ως στόχο να εξετάσει τη σχέση της μετασχηματιστικής και συναλλακτικής ηγεσίας με τη γνωστική και συναισθηματική ταύτιση των εργαζομένων μέσω της καλλιέργειας των οργανωσιακών αξιών υποστήριξης, καινοτομίας, στοχοθεσίας, και κανόνων. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 367 εργαζόμενοι από 30 διαφορετικές μονάδες ενός μεγάλου δημόσιου οργανισμού. Για τον έλεγχο των ερευνητικών υποθέσεων χρησιμοποιήθηκε  η πολυεπίπεδη ανάλυση (Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling, MSEM). Εξετάστηκε ηδιαμεσολάβηση της αντιληπτής καινοτομίας και υποστήριξης στη σχέση μεταξύ μετασχηματιστικής ηγεσίας και των δύο διαστάσεων της οργανωσιακής ταύτισης, όπως και η διαμεσολάβηση της αντιληπτής στοχοθεσίας και κανόνων στη σχέση μεταξύ συναλλακτικής αμοιβής βάσει επίδοσης και συναισθηματικής ταύτισης. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η μετασχηματιστική ηγεσία σχετίζεται θετικά μόνο με τη γνωστική διάσταση της ταύτισης, ενώ η συναλλακτική αμοιβή βάσει επίδοσης σχετίζεται θετικά και με τις δύο διαστάσεις της ταύτισης. Η μετασχηματιστική ηγεσία βρέθηκε να σχετίζεται θετικά με την αντίληψη της κουλτούρας του οργανισμού στη βάση των αξιών της υποστήριξης, της καινοτομίας, των κανόνων και της στοχοθεσίας, ενώ η συναλλακτική αμοιβή βάσει επίδοσης σχετίζεται θετικά με τον αξιακό προσανατολισμό των στόχων και της υποστήριξης. Τα αποτελέσματα επίσης έδειξαν ότι η καινοτομία α) διαμεσολαβεί τη σχέση ανάμεσα στη μετασχηματιστική ηγεσία και τη συναισθηματική ταύτιση, αλλά αντίθετα με τις υποθέσεις μας σχετίζεται αρνητικά με τη συναισθηματική ταύτιση, και β) δεν διαμεσολαβεί τη σχέση της μετασχηματιστικής ηγεσίας με τη γνωστική ταύτιση. Επίσης, η υποστήριξη βρέθηκε να διαμεσολαβεί τη σχέση της μετασχηματιστικής ηγεσίας και με τις δύο διαστάσεις της ταύτισης. Τα ευρήματα δείχνουν ότι η ηγετική συμπεριφορά, ως μια διαδικασία κοινωνικής επιρροής, σχετίζεται με την οργανωσιακή ταύτιση κυρίως μέσω της καλλιέργειας της υποστήριξης. Τα συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν από τα ευρήματα συζητούνται ως προς τις θεωρητικές τους προεκτάσεις και τις εφαρμογές τους στην οργανωσιακή πρακτική.

Published: July 2023

A systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the overall thermal performance of different gasified cooking stoves from the available literature. For this purpose, available studies from the last 14 years (2008 to 2022) were searched using different search strings. After screening, a total of 28 articles were selected for this literature review. Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were used as search strings by applying “Gasifier cooking stove” AND “producer gas cooking stove” AND “thermal performance” keywords. This review uncovers different gasified cooking stoves, cooking fuels, and fabrication materials besides overall thermal performances. The result shows that the overall thermal performance of different gasified cooking stoves was 5.88% to 91% depending on the design and burning fuels. The premixed producer gas burner with a swirl vane stove provided the highest overall thermal performance range, which was 84% to 91%, and the updraft gasified stove provided the lowest performance, which was 5.88% to 8.79%. The result also demonstrates that the wood pellets cooking fuel provided the highest thermal performance and corn straw briquette fuel provided the lowest for gasified cooking stoves. The overall thermal performance of wood pellets was 38.5% and corn straw briquette was 10.86%.
Associated ICU nurses' characteristics to clinical enteral nutrition knowledge at public hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen: A basis for remodeling safety and quality of care standards
Authors: Ali Hussein Al-Qalah Talal , Alrubaiee Gamil Ghaleb
Published: July 2023

Background: Nurses have a pivotal role in initiating and managing enteral nutrition (EN) and monitoring any potential complications. Yet, it is unclear whether Yemeni nurses have adequate knowledge to deliver and manage enteral nutrition safely. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the level of ICU nurses’ knowledge regarding the care of EN.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2019 to March 2019. A probability sampling method was used to recruit 174 nurses from four public hospitals in the capital city of Yemen. A self-administered 17-item questionnaire related to ICU nurses' knowledge regarding EN intervention was used to collect the data.

Results: Based on our findings, only 10.9% of the respondents had an adequate level of knowledge about EN care, while 43.1% of them had a moderate level of knowledge, and 46.0% of them had an inadequate level of knowledge. Only 16.1% of the participants were knowledgeable of EN pre-administration care, whereas 5.80% of them were knowledgeable of EN administration care, and 9.20% were knowledgeable of EN post-administration care. There were significant associations between ICU nurses’ level of knowledge of EN care and their level of education and knowledge sources.

Conclusions: The significant gap in ICU nurses’ knowledge regarding EN care identified implies the need to upgrade and refresh of the ICU nurses' knowledge by implementing a regular training program concerning EN care.

"This is music!”
Authors: Campos Alyce Cardoso , De Cássia Leal Campos Rita , Nunes Maciel Gustavo , Carvalho de Rezende Daniel
Published: July 2023

This research aimed to understand how elitist thinking takes place regarding music consumption in Brazil. Fifteen music professionals were interviewed, as they were considered individuals with high cultural capital in the subject. The results showed that, although cultural elitism in relation to music is on the way to being softened, it is still very present in Brazilian society, being strongly supported by cultural and social issues. Even if implicitly, a notion of good and bad musical taste can be observed from the (de)valuation of certain musical styles, especially by people professionally involved in the musical world.

A Influência das instituições na gestão ambiental
Authors: Palheta Nery Diogo , Sproesser Renato Luiz , Giovinazzo Spers Renata
Published: July 2023

Essa pesquisa visou analisar a influência das instituições estaduais na gestão ambiental dos terminais logísticos. Realizou-se a análise de dados por meio da regressão de Poisson. Apurou-se que as instituições estaduais influenciam o desempenho ambiental nos terminais. Todavia, o impacto positivo foi encontrado apenas na instituição “incentivos fiscais”, porém foi apurado um impacto negativo causado pela instituição “abrangência da legislação ambiental”. Apesar de serem contraditórios, esses resultados estão em concordância com a literatura. O impacto negativo da “abrangência da legislação ambiental” indica que à legislação ambiental e seu enforcement não estão plenamente alinhados nos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil.

Published: July 2023

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise comparativa das dinâmicas de trabalho na contemporaneidade em instituições públicas, privadas e sociais. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se como técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista narrativa e, como método de análise dos dados coletados, a análise dos núcleos de sentido. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que as organizações que promovem poucas mudanças de gestão e delegam autonomia ao trabalhador para execução do real do trabalho promovem com mais veemência o bem-estar dos trabalhadores. Por outro lado, aquelas que exigem a execução do prescrito com maior ímpeto e propensas a mudanças bruscas do nível estratégico ressaltam o sofrimento.

Culinary Culture Code in Demotivators and Modern Internet-Communication
Authors: Dimitrieva Ol'ga , Andreeva D.
Published: July 2023

Quite a lot of works are devoted to the study of creolized texts, in which the structure of such texts is investigated, as well as their impact on the recipient, verbal features and visual characteristics are revealed. Aim. The main purpose of this study is to study the polycode creolized text of the demotivator, visually and/or verbally related to culinary and gastronomic topics, from the point of view of the value aspect and actualization of certain axiological dominants existing in the modern world.

Methodology and research methods. Demotivators thematically related to the field of gastronomy served as the material for the study. The main research methods are semantic, descriptive, as well as analysis and systematization of the material. Results. Special attention is paid to two types of demotivators: demotivators of the weight-reflexive type and those one in which social status is marked (the group is considered on the example of students). It was revealed that the first type reflects modern stereotypes about proper nutrition, harmful and healthy foods, and meal times. In the second type, the main qualities and traits of students are marked, namely, they investigate how such components as 1) poverty / affluence are displayed with the help of food, 2) hunger / satiety and connection with intellectual abilities, 3) study / work. Scientific novelty. The novelty of the work is connected with the definition of the value properties of household items, using the example of culinary / food preferences of the subject of communication, as well as with the emphasis on existing modern stereotypes and axiological guidelines in the field of nutrition and beyond. Practical significance. The materials and conclusions of this work can be used in the development of courses on media and Internet communication, lexicology and active processes of the modern Russian language.

Authors: Wais Marcin , Antoniak Krzysztof , Gruca Dariusz , Zając Marlena , Tchórz Michał
Published: July 2023

Introduction and purpose: Cardiological drugs are widely used in the management of various cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, angina, heart failure, and arrhythmias. However, when these drugs are taken in excessive amounts or are not used as prescribed, they can become toxic and cause significant harm to the heart and other organs. Our study aims to illustrate the most frequent causes of poisoning with cardiological drugs in patients hospitalized in the toxicological and cardiological department from April 2013 to December 2021.
Brief description of the state of knowledge: Poisoning with cardiological drugs is a growing concern for healthcare professionals. In 2019, cardiovascular toxins were one of the top 10 categories of poisons evaluated by medical toxicologists. Data collected from the analyzed toxicology and cardiology department include a group of 387 hospitalized patients. The largest proportion were cases intoxicated by beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists. The second most common group was poisonings by angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors. A slightly lower proportion implicated poisonings caused by other, unidentified substances affecting the cardiovascular system - calcium channel blockers and other antihypertensive drugs.
Conclusions: All of the data demonstrated in our study shows the importance of understanding the pharmacology, pathophysiology, and treatment strategies of poisonings caused by cardiological drugs which are one the most widely used medications worldwide.

Miejsce celiakii w podręcznikach akademickich wydawanych w Polsce drugiej połowy XX wieku, na przykładzie wybranych pozycji
Authors: Początek Michał
Published: July 2023

Celem pracy jest analiza obecności i rzetelności wykładu na temat celiakii, w podręcznikach akademickich wydawanych w Polsce drugiej połowy XX wieku. Celiakia, prawdopodobnie najpowszechniejsza obecnie choroba układu pokarmowego na świecie, została wyodrębniona i nowocześnie sklasyfikowana już w roku 1950. Stopniowo aktualizowano wiadomości o etiologii i patogenezie, udoskonalano narzędzia diagnostyczne, aczkolwiek rozpoznawanie wciąż pozostaje trudne. Wiedza o chorobie z trudem przebijała się do świadomości społecznej, co miało dramatyczne konsekwencje zdrowotne i pewnie ekonomiczne. W Polsce wynikało zaś z niewytłumaczalnego niedocenienia problemu przez czołowych klinicystów. Zagadnienie przedstawiono w oparciu o lekturę wybranych, zalecanych przez wykładowców podręczników akademickich interny, pediatrii oraz anatomii patologicznej, omawianych tu w ujęciu chronologicznym.

„O lepszą, jaśniejszą, wolną od duchowo obcego elementu przyszłość lekarską”. Starania Związku Lekarzy Państwa Polskiego o „odżydzenie” stanu lekarskiego (1936-1939)
Authors: Ciesielska Maria
Published: July 2023

Tzw. kwestia żydowska stanowiła ważny temat polskiej debaty publicznej w okresie międzywojennym. W Polsce znajdowało się jedno z największych skupisk ludności żydowskiej na świecie. Począwszy od lat 30. XX w. Stronnictwo Demokratyczno-Narodowe zachęcało Polaków do bojkotu żydowskich przedsiębiorstw oraz żydowskich lekarzy. W drugiej połowie lat trzydziestych XX w. udział procentowy lekarzy Żydów w okręgowych izbach lekarskich ziem zachodnich był stosunkowo niewielki, podczas gdy Żydzi stanowili 66% członków lwowskiej, 52 87% łódzkiej, 41 11% krakowskiej, warszawsko-białostockiej 37.92%, lubelskiej 34 71%, wileńsko-nowogródzkiej 34 64% izby lekarskiej. Wkrótce po zakończeniu I wojny światowej środowiska nacjonalistyczne w Polsce rozpoczęły starania o wprowadzenie tzw. paragrafu aryjskiego także w obrębie stanu lekarskiego. Celem takiego działania miał być polonizacja środowiska lekarskiego. W 1938 roku Związek Lekarzy Państwa Polskiego wprowadził do swojego statutu paragraf aryjski, zgodnie z którym, członkiem stowarzyszenia mógł być jedynie chrześcijanin „z urodzenia” co wykluczało lekarzy Żydów.
