Günümüzdeki teknolojik gelişmeler ergenler arasındaki ilişkilerin şeklini değiştirmektedir. Bu durum ergenlerin davranışları üzerinde olumlu ya da olumsuz etkiler oluşturabilir. Son zamanlarda ergenlerin sanal ortamda bazı istenmeyen davranışlar sergiledikleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu durumun ise öğrencilerin sosyal becerileri ve çevrelerinden gördükleri destek düzeyinden kaynaklanacağı düşünülebilir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmada öğrencilerin siber zorbalık, sosyal yetkinlik ve sosyal ilişki (aile-akran desteği) algıları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Çalışma Ankara ili Altındağ ilçesi resmi ortaokullarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 337 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışma verileri Siber Zorbalık Ölçeği, Algılanan Sosyal Yetkinlik Ölçeği ve Sosyal İlişki Unsurları Ölçeği aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Veriler betimsel istatistikler, korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Bulgulara göre siber zorbalık sosyal yetkinlik ve aile desteği ile negatif yönlü düşük düzeyde; sosyal yetkinlik ise aile ve akran desteği ile pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişkiler içerisindedir. Ayrıca aile desteğinin siber zorbalık ve sosyal yetkinliği; akran desteğinin de sosyal yetkinliği anlamlı şekilde yordadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Rising environmental temperatures and polluted surface waters: the prelude to the rise of mycoses in South Africa
Authors: Heidi Steffen  , Caylin Bosch  , Gideon Wolfaardt  , Alfred Botha
Published: April 2022

South Africa’s rivers are frequently used by communities lacking proper sanitation infrastructure for domestic purposes; however, these surface waters may pose a health risk to immunocompromised individuals due to the presence of opportunistic pathogenic fungi in the polluted water. Although only a few studies have focused on the presence of clinically relevant fungal species in South African rivers, many known opportunistic pathogenic species were found to be predominant in these waters. Furthermore, strong evidence exists that increased numbers of clinically relevant species may be observed in future due to fungi acquiring thermotolerance in response to the global increase in temperature. Thermotolerance is a major factor contributing to pathogenesis in fungi, due to the generally low tolerance of most fungi toward mammalian body temperatures. It is therefore contended that combinatorial effects of water pollution and rising environmental temperatures could lead to an increase in the incidence of mycoses in South Africa. This is especially concerning since a relatively large population of immunocompromised individuals, represented mostly by HIV-infected people, resides in the country.

Malaysia has the highest average growth contribution because of increased product innovation and digital technology use. Brunei Darussalam had the lowest claim growth rate because the claims process was considered too bureaucratic and complicated.
German Foreign Policy During the First Gulf Crisis: Overcoming a Taboo on Being a Military Power on World Stage
Authors: TINAS Murat
Published: April 2022

When Iraq attacked Kuwait on 2 August 1990, the international respond was immediate and enormous. In this international context, Germany could not stand irresponsive although its agenda was heavily preoccupied by the ongoing reunification negotiations. Additionally, another challenge for Germany in participating in such an international coalition was its post-World War II settlement which constrained Germany internally and externally from being a military power on world stage. Within this framework, this paper analyses German foreign policy during the First Gulf Crisis when 1990s made a fundamental reassessment about the scope and means of German foreign and security policy a necessity. This paper starts with a brief historical background of the international context and the Gulf War. Then, the paper focuses on the analysis of German foreign policy during the crisis in three periods. In doing so, this study mostly relies on secondary sources in its analysis by reviewing the relevant literature. In conclusion, the paper argues that, though it was comparatively limited, Germany’s participation in the international coalition responding the crisis is not a simple foreign policy choice but a strategic decision about reunified Germany’s role in the newly emerging international system, which will have greater implications as it substantially questioned a taboo on being an active international power including military means in world politics.

Published: April 2022

A diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) can be made after excluding secondary causes. As stenosis of transverse sinuses is often revealed with IIH patients, transverse sinus stenting is used to release intracranial hypertension. It is rare to find a case of leukoencephalopathy secondary to IIH. Herein, we describe a case of diffuse leukoencephalopathy with IIH, which improved after stent insertion in the transverse sinus.

Published: April 2022

In previous studies, pulse signals have been analysed primarily to standardise and objectify pulse diagnosis, but the influence of TCM constitution on pulse signals and disease has been neglected. Our study links the wrist pulse wave signal to TCM constitution to find TCM constitution factors that predispose to disease while improving the accuracy of disease classification. Our specific approach is set out below. A wrist pulse signal sampler based on a piezoelectric sensor was designed and 95 healthy subjects and 20 hypertensive patients were invited to complete the CCMQ (Constitution in the Chinese Medicine Questionnaire), of which 48 completed the pulse wave signal. Meanwhile, we improved the Butterworth filtering algorithm to denoise the pulse wave signals, and after smoothing and period segmentation, we finally extracted 27 time-domain features and 8 wavelet packet energy features. Then, we used the independent sample t-test and binary logistic regression analysis to analyze the correlation between the prevalence of hypertension and TCM constitution and found that the three constitutions of YaD (Yang-deficiency), YiD (Yin-deficiency), and PW (Phlegm-wet) were significantly associated with whether the subjects suffered from hypertension. The final classification results showed that the fusion features after adding the three constitution features with a high correlation with hypertension had a 17.46% higher F-score than the classification model without the constitution features. It can be seen that the incorporation of constitution characteristics into pulse characteristics in this paper has important implications for disease classification. This also provides a basis for studying the correlation between TCM physical characteristics and certain diseases, and patients can adopt targeted TCM management techniques to prevent diseases in advance.

Published: April 2022

The Cauchy problem for the loaded modified Korteweg-de Vries equation in the class of "rapidly decreasing" functions is considered in this paper. The main result of this work is a theorem on the evolution of the scattering data of the Dirac operator. Potential of the operator is the solution to the loaded modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. The obtained equalities allow one to apply the method of the inverse scattering transform to solve the Cauchy problem for the loaded modified Korteweg-de Vries equation

Published: April 2022

Ein gutes Modell der Regelstrecke erhöht die Erfolgsaussicht, eine in der Simulation gut funktionierende Regelung in der Praxis genauso gut betreiben zu können. Gute Modelle eröffnen auch noch weitere Perspektiven: Sind die störenden Einflüsse auf den Regelkreis, die Störgrößen, die Messfehler und die Ungenauigkeiten im Simulationsmodell insgesamt kleiner als die Genauigkeitsanforderungen an die Regelgröße, dann kann man durch entsprechende Filterung des Eingangssignals sogar auf eine Rückführung der Regelgröße sogar verzichten. Andernfalls lassen sich deren Auswirkung auf die Regelgröße durch eine Rückführung verkleinern. Der Prozess kann für schnelle und hochgenaue Anwendungen durch die vorgestellte Methode weiter verbessert werden, wenn die störenden Einflüsse auf den Regelkreis direkt geschätzt und gleich kompensiert werden, bevor siesich in der Regelgröße bemerkbar machen können.
Microwave Synthesis of Blue Emissive N-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots as a Fluorescent Probe for Free Chlorine Detection
Authors: Larsson Melissa Asha , Ramachandran Pravena , Jarujamrus Purim , Lee Hooi Ling
Published: April 2022

Blue emissive N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) were prepared through a convenient and sustainable microwave synthesis method using citric acid monohydrate (CA) and urea as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, with an optimum molar ratio of 1:3 (CA:Urea). The surface functional groups, morphology, and hydrodynamic characteristics of N-CQDs were analysed with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The as-synthesised N-CQDs with a quantum yield of 14.8%, exhibited excitation-independent fluorescence emission at 443 nm due to surface-state-induced fluorescence, with an optimum excitation wavelength at 360 nm. The N-CQDs were spherical, with an average particle size of 7.29 ± 3.91 nm based on HRTEM analysis. However, DLS analysis showed that the hydrodynamic size (293.0 ± 110.8 nm) was larger than the average particle size due to the presence of hydrophilic polymer chains and abundant surface groups on the N-CQDs. The free chorine-induced fluorescence quenching of N-CQDs at pH 9 denotes the sensitivity of N-CQDs towards detection of free chlorine in the form of hypochlorite (ClO-) ion, providing the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 mM and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.2 mM. The fluorescence quenching effect in the N-CQDs caused by the quencher (ClO-) is attributed to the dynamic quenching mechanism, via an intersystem crossing. The low selectivity of N-CQDs towards various ions justified N-CQDs' selectivity as a free chlorine fluorescent probe that can be used for wastewater testing due to its high range sensitivity.

Published: April 2022

Starburst merging galaxies are important in the history of galaxy evolution timeline. For this work, we have chosen the Antennae galaxy (NGC4039), which is one of the most famous starburst merging galaxies. We analyzed the CO (3–2) interferometric observations for the southern mosaic of the NGC 4039, together with the CO (2–1) data taken from Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-millimeter Array (ALMA). Using the galactic CO luminosity to H2 mass conversion factor, we found molecular gas mass range in this galaxy to be (0.8–2.92) × 108 Mʘ. Line emissions at CO (2–1) and CO (3–2) were detected at selected regions in the nucleus of NGC 4039. The CO (3–2) / CO (2–1) ratio for this galaxy was calculated to be approximately 0.62. In addition, we found a significant correlation between the brightness temperature ratio and IR luminosity for this galaxy. We used a new model to interpret the rotation curve and found that the most important factor is related to gas mass distribution. The disturbance in the gas distribution may be caused by the merging process. We have also analyzed the spatially resolved star formation law in this galaxy up to 345 parsec. We found a breakdown of the Kennicutt–Schmidt law at this scale. The results are consistent with the previous findings that there is a possibility of sub-thermally excited widespread gas in the neighborhood of denser regions, which causes the flatter star formation law.

Published: April 2022

This study determined the antecedents of diffusion scope (total audience), speed (number of adopters/time), and shape (broadcast vs. person-to-person transmission) for true vs. fake news about a falsely claimed stolen 2020 US Presidential election across clusters of users that responded to one another’s tweets (“user clusters”). We examined 31,128 tweets with links to fake vs. true news by 20,179 users to identify 1,069 user clusters via clustering analysis. We tested whether attributes of authors (experience, followers, following, total tweets), time (date), or tweets (link to fake [vs. true] news, retweets) affected diffusion scope, speed, or shape, across user clusters via multilevel diffusion analysis. These tweets showed no overall diffusion pattern; instead, specific explanatory variables determined their scope, speed, and shape. Compared to true news tweets, fake news tweets started earlier and showed greater broadcast influence (greater diffusion speed), scope, and person-to-person influence. Authors with more experience and smaller user clusters both showed greater speed but less scope and less person-to-person influence. Likewise, later tweets showed slightly more broadcast influence, less scope, and more person-to-person influence. By contrast, users with more followers showed less broadcast influence but greater scope and slightly more person-to-person influence. These results highlight the earlier instances of fake news and the greater diffusion speed of fake news in smaller user clusters and by users with fewer followers, so they suggest that monitors can detect fake news earlier by focusing on earlier tweets, smaller user clusters, and users with fewer followers.
The Language and Problems of the Political Science of Ancient Rome
Authors: Vititnev S.F. , Shmeleva A.V.
Published: April 2022

The article examines the language of political science of Ancient Rome, the stages of its formation. The authors rely on the texts of ancient Roman authors. The history of the development of the language of political teachings in Ancient Rome was originally a collection of words, expressions, concepts, largely drawn from various kinds of mythological plots. And already by the I century BC, it acquires terminological order and, as a result, appears as an indispensable means of describing and analyzing political phenomena, considering and cognizing them in a variety of aspects. Roman political science, in its movement along the path of cognition of politics as one of the most significant creative phenomena, initially started in its search from the problems identified by the Greek philosophers, using the conceptual and categorical apparatus and terminology developed by them, achieved impressive results.
Legal Regulation of First Aid and Criminal Liability for Failure to Provide it
Authors: Berchanskiy K. A.
Published: April 2022

The paper examines some problems of criminal law qualification of first aid — providing help in lifethreatening and health-threatening conditions before the provision of medical care by the individuals whose duties include providing such care. The author notes a significant imbalance in the coverage of this problem in comparison with studies on the topic of iatrogenic crime. The purpose of the paper is to identify the main problems of qualification of non-providing first aid by an individual obligated to provide such aid, as well as ways to solve them. Having studied a few scientific papers on this topic, having conducted a comprehensive analysis of domestic legislation, its historical, logical and linguistic interpretation, the author identified three main problems. The first problem is connected with the inclusion of the individuals who may and are obliged to provide first aid in the subject composition of Article 124 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by many scholars (in addition to doctors): analysis of the logic of the development of domestic criminal and other legislation indicates the depravity of such a point of view. The second problem is related to the terminological disparity in the Russian law: to designate the duties of individuals who may and are obliged to provide first aid, various terms are used (“provide”, “ensure”, “take measures”). All these terms contain different scope of such obligations, which directly affects the criminal law qualification. To demonstrate this fact, an analysis of judicial practice for the period from 2010 to the 2020s was carried out, which made it possible to identify a third problem: unjustified imputation by the courts of failure to provide first aid. As their solution, in addition to organizational measures aimed at improving the skills of first aid subjects, courts and investigative bodies, the author proposes amendments to Article 124 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the universalization of the norms of Russian law concerning first aid.
Characteristics of school-based physical therapists and students associated with inclusive physical therapy practices
Authors:   , Wiley Michele , Chiarello Lisa A
Published: April 2022

Professional guidelines and published perspectives have recognized the importance of providing inclusive school-based physical therapy services to promote positive student outcomes. Inclusive school-based physical therapy service includes those provided with other students present, within the context of school activities, and through knowledge sharing activities, including collaboration and consultation with education team members. Previous survey research has indicated school-based physical therapists believe inclusive school-based therapy services are best practice, however services are not routinely delivered in this manner. It is unclear as to why inclusive therapy provision has not been universally adopted. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of school-based physical therapists and students associated with the provision of inclusive school-based therapy services. Methods: A secondary analysis of PT COUNTS data was performed, including variables about physical therapists' expertise, years of school-based experience, level of education, professional association membership, continuing education hours, and journal articles read annually; student age, level of inclusive classroom placement, and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level; and services provided with other students present, within the context of school activities, and through knowledge sharing activities with education team members. Results: Intercorrelations and univariate analysis of the variables yielded a single multiple regression analyzing the association of physical therapist professional association membership, student classroom placement, and student GMFCS level with services provided within the context of school activities. Lesser inclusive classroom placement was associated with more services within the context of school activities. Conclusions: The results substantiate previously published evidence about the influence of student classroom placement on inclusive therapy services. School-based PTs should consider creative strategies to extend interventions in the context of school activities available outside of the students' classrooms. Decision-making about service delivery and inclusive practices in the school-based setting appears complex and multifaceted, requiring future prospective research
A Randomized, Controlled Pilot study of a Patient-Initiated Approach to Increasing Weight Communication in Primary Care
Authors:   , Remmert Jocelyn E. , Butryn Meghan L
Published: April 2022

Obesity is a complex disease that many organizations recommend be discussed frequently in primary care. However, the frequency of weight-related communication in primary care is low. Interventions to increase the frequency of weight-related communication have focused solely on physicians and have only yielded modest efficacy. Intervention promoting patient-initiated discussions may be key to improving the frequency of weight-related communication in primary care. This study aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an experiential pamphlet delivered in the waiting room targeting patient barriers to weight communication in primary care. Sixty adult participants with overweight or obesity were recruited from a primary care office. Participants were randomized to either receive a pamphlet with information on weight and prompts to ask their doctors about weight and health, or to a non-intervention control group. Participants completed assessments after their appointment. Participants were specifically queried if weight was discussed and answered follow-up questions about the weight discussion. Study flow was tracked and compared to pre-set benchmarks to assess feasibility. Mixed methods were utilized to measure acceptability quantitatively with participants and physicians and qualitatively with physicians and staff. Mann Whitney U tests, logistic regressions, and ANOVAs were utilized to analyze main outcomes. This study met three of four feasibility benchmarks. Quantitative and qualitative results demonstrated participant, physician, and staff acceptability of the intervention pamphlet. Frequency of weight discussion at appointment was not significantly different between the intervention and control condition. Self-reported health predicted likelihood of weight discussions such that participants with poorer self-reported health were more likely to report communication about weight at the visit. In conclusion, the intervention pamphlet was feasible to deliver in a primary care waiting room and was acceptable to participants, physicians and staff. However, the pamphlet did not change the frequency of weight discussions in primary care. Interventions that promote patient and provider collaboration may be more effective. The feasibility and acceptability of a brief intervention delivered in the waiting room is promising for future interventions.
Uncovering Ethical Dilemmas in International Service-Learning (ISL)
Authors:   , Dholakia Kripa H. , Ebaugh Duane David
Published: April 2022

Introduction: International Service-Learning (ISL) is a model of experiential learning offered by Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs in the United States. Although the number of ISL experiences is growing steadily, it is unclear whether faculty, students, and supervising alumni consider the ethicality of these experiences, and to what degree. Recent evidence has uncovered adverse effects of short-term health related service experiences such as ISL; however, to date, ethical implications of ISL in DPT education have not been explored. Furthermore, a more contemporary definition may be required to address the need for reciprocal benefit and ethical care in an international context. From the perspective of the APTA's Code of Ethics and the Realm-Individual Process-Situation (RIPS) model of ethical decision-making, the purpose of this study was: 1) to explore the experiences, perceptions, and insights of faculty, students and alumni who engage in ISL, 2) to uncover the ethical nature of these experiences, and 3) propose a more contemporary and comprehensive definition of ISL. Methods: Ten students, six faculty and five alumni participated in this study (n=21). Participants engaged in semi-structured interviews which explored their experiences, perceptions, and insights related to ISL using constructivist grounded theory methodology. All interviews were audio-recorded using a digital voice recorder, transcribed verbatim, and de-identified. Data were analyzed by Charmaz's coding process. Results: Data analyses indicated that ISL as experienced by participants in this study failed to uphold APTA's ethical principles 2A, 3B, and 8B. Furthermore, the RIPS situational analysis indicated that the primary themes arising from this study reflect ethical issues/problems and an ethical temptation, with an overarching ethical silence wherein ethical issues are present but not discussed or made explicit. Discussion and Conclusion: Students and educators, in their desire to be altruistic, may overlook ethical situations arising from of ISL, thereby compromising their duty towards patient and host community beneficence. The ongoing examination of ISL is critical. It is recommended that future research explore patient beneficence and that standards for an ideal ISL experience be established based on best practice guidelines. This is the first study to examine ISL in DPT education using an ethical lens and sheds light on the need to critically examine this teaching model.
Warriors for a Nation: The American Indian Movement, Indigenous Men, and Nation Building at the Takeover of Wounded Knee in 1973
Authors: André Voigt Matthias
Published: April 2022

Between February 27 and May 8, 1973, Indigenous nationalists of the American Indian Movement and local Lakota reservation residents occupied the tiny hamlet of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. The intent behind the armed takeover was to highlight intratribal conflict over tribal governance on the local Pine Ridge reservation and demand a return to the treaty-making era. Halfway through the prolonged siege, Indigenous nationalists declared the Independent Oglala Nation—separate from the United States government—and proclaimed the setup of a modern-day warrior society. In that these parallel and intertwined actions suggest a close connection between manhood and nationhood in which nationalist warriors rallied in defense of a newly proclaimed nation, the armed confrontation at Wounded Knee can be understood as a highly gendered nation building project. This research article seeks to make new sense of these warriors for a nation and the intricate nature of masculinity and nationalism and to shed new light on the role of marginalized masculinities in processes of nation building—a significant, yet largely overlooked field of research.

Vários estudos têm sugerido que os conceitos acerca do impresso, os conhecimentos acerca da escrita, o reconhecimento de letras e a consciência fonológica são preditores da aprendizagem inicial da leitura. No entanto, são mais escassos os estudos que visam determinar em que medida estas variáveis permitem identificar com precisão os alunos em risco na aprendizagem inicial da leitura, sendo esta a questão visada neste estudo. A amostra foi constituída por 60 alunos do 1º ano de escolaridade, com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e os 8 anos. Os alunos foram avaliados no início do 1.º ano com provas que avaliavam os conceitos acerca do impresso, os conhecimentos acerca da escrita, o reconhecimento de letras e a consciência fonológica. No final do ano foi-lhes administrada uma prova de leitura de palavras. Os resultados da análise de regressão logística indicaram que as variáveis em estudo não predizem o risco de dificuldades na leitura no final do 1.º ano de escolaridade. Todavia, a análise de curvas ROC sugeriu uma precisão razoável na identificação de alunos em risco na aprendizagem da leitura, tendo por base o desempenho em consciência fonológica.

Introduction It is known that the function and structure of the muscles of the thigh and lower leg are closely related to the function of the lower limb, which is impaired to one degree or another in all patients with chronic osteomyelitis. However, the nature of structural changes in the muscles, which, in turn, affect the condition of the bones, has not been well studied. Purpose of the work To study the features of changes in the muscles of the thigh and lower leg in patients with chronic osteomyelitis according to MSCT data. Material and methods The study is retrospective conducted at a single centre of Evidence level IV. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) was used in 112 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of long bones of the lower extremities to study the radiological morphology of the muscles of the thigh and lower leg, including density, muscle belly area, and anatomical features. Twenty patients had chronic osteomyelitis in the area of transosseous elements (pins). The mean age of the patients was 48.5 ± 9.8 years. Males prevailed among the patients (87.5 %). The cause of osteomyelitis in 107 cases was trauma or surgery, five patients had consequences of hematogenous osteomyelitis. Results The results of the study showed that the muscles of the thigh and lower leg in patients with chronic osteomyelitis have pronounced dystrophic changes. In 89.4 % of patients, they were manifested by an increase in the density of the anterior tibial muscle, long extensor of the toes (84.7 %), peroneal muscles (78.5 %) and a decrease in the density of the head of the gastrocnemius muscle (91.3 %). In 10.6 % of the patients, there was a decrease in the density of the anterior tibial muscle, the long extensor of the fingers. In all patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the femur, the density of the muscles of the anterior and posterior groups was reduced, except for the musculus vastus intermedius of the thigh that was characterized by fibrotic changes with an increase in density. Conclusion The data obtained indicate that radiological morphological changes in muscles occur in all patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the femur and lower leg. The most pronounced alterations in the architectonics were in the anterior tibial and gastrocnemius muscles, and the intermediate broad muscle of the thigh.

La organización constitucional de la recuperación. Crónica política y legislativa del año 2021
Authors: Azpitarte Sánchez Miguel
Published: April 2022

Este texto da cuenta de los principales acontecimientos políticos y legislativos del año 2021. Se divide en dos partes. La primera está dedicada a analizar los instrumentos utilizados para organizar la recuperación económica. Ocupa un lugar destacado el Reglamento (UE) 2021/241 del Parlamento y del Consejo, de 12 de febrero de 2021, que ordena el Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia. En él se fija la necesidad de un plan nacional que ha de estipular los proyectos a financiar en el proceso de recuperación. En definitiva, se muestra en qué medida la dirección política encuentra hoy su impulso clave en la Unión, que marca al Estado los objetivos que se han de desarrollar y controla los mecanismos para su cumplimiento. En la segunda parte se exponen las principales acciones legislativas de la mayoría de gobierno, que paulatinamente va dando forma a su proyecto. Destacan tres grandes ámbitos. Se estudia, en primer lugar, el medio ambiente, concentrándose la atención en la Ley 7/2021, de cambio climático y transición energética, pero también se exponen las dificultades para intentar dar forma a este proyecto, dada la escalada de los precios de la luz. El segundo bloque se dedica al mercado de trabajo, observando cómo se intentan regular sus nuevas modalidades. Y el tercer grupo atiende al reconocimiento de derechos de las personas más vulnerables, en especial, la eutanasia.
Apuntes constitucionales sobre el pin parental
Authors: Gómez Abeja Laura
Published: April 2022

En estas líneas se efectúa una reflexión jurídico-constitucional sobre el llamado pin parental, al hilo de su inicial implantación en la Comunidad de Murcia y su posible establecimiento en otras comunidades gobernadas por el PP con el necesario respaldo de Vox, que promueve su adopción frente a las conocidas —en el ámbito educativo— como actividades complementarias. Se pretende evitar que los alumnos menores accedan a determinados contenidos (como la educación sexual o la diversidad sexual), entendiendo que es una forma de impedir que se les adoctrine. En estas páginas se recuerda la jurisprudencia que avala, ex art. 27.2 CE, la legitimidad de la formación en valores democráticos y de la búsqueda de adhesión de los alumnos a esos valores. Y se recuerda también la legitimidad de la exposición por parte del profesorado de otras ideas, sobre las que no hay consenso social, pero que coexisten en una sociedad plural y diversa como es la propia de un Estado democrático. A la luz de cuanto antecede, debe rechazarse la adopción de un veto o pin parental al amparo del art. 27.3 CE, que podría convertir la educación de los menores en una formación a gusto de los padres hasta el punto de horadar los contenidos necesarios para una adecuada formación integral desde la perspectiva del art. 27.2 CE.

Background: The current study was performed with an objective to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of HE4 (human epididymis protein) and ROMA in prediction of ovarian cancer in patients with pelvic mass and to compare HE4 and ROMA with CA-125, and RMI (risk of malignancy index) for ovarian cancer prediction in women with pelvic mass.Methods: This was a diagnostic study enrolling 200 patients with pelvic mass who had been scheduled for Primary surgery. Serum HE4 and CA 125 levels were measured. HE4, CA 125 and ROMA, RMI were evaluated for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots were graphed and area under the curve (AUC) values was calculated to investigate the accuracy of each marker for predicting ovarian malignancy.Results: Overall, ROMA showed the highest accuracy as it correctly classified 139/200 (69.5%) patients compared with 133/200 (66.5%) in HE4 and 109/200 (54.5%) in CA 125 and RMI. There were more patients with benign tumors being correctly identified by HE4 (89/119, 74.7%) and ROMA (74/119, 62.1%), than CA 125 which identified 39/119 (32.7%) patients. In our study in premenopausal women ROMA and HE4 have comparable sensitivity (80%and 75%) but higher specificity (64% and 65%) and NPV (86% and 83%) as compared to CA125 which has sensitivity of (83%) but very low specificity (46%) in differentiating benign from malignant masses. In postmenopausal women, HE4 had highest specificity (88%) and, CA125 has highest sensitivity (86%) in detecting ovarian malignancy.Conclusions: HE4 and ROMA showed a high specificity, but were less sensitivity than CA-125 and RMI in premenopausal women. However, ROMA is of comparable sensitivity and HE4 has highest specificity as compared to CA125 in postmenopausal women.

The risk of fire is ubiquitous: no matter the human activity, there will always be the associated probability of fire generation. However, if started, the potential impact of fire will depend on different factors such as the activity, the materials stored, and the prevention and control measures deployed, which includes the minimum requirements of current legislation. The main objective of this research is to understand the factors that influence compliance and non-compliance with fire regulations by large companies, considering the case of the municipality of Soledad, Colombia. As part of the methodology, a descriptive statistical approach was used for the analysis, considering companies' compliance in recent years, and related these data to the level of risk and the impact that a conflagration would have on premises, people, and the environment. A Chi-Square association test was applied, and additionally, a Cramer's V test was applied to determine the magnitude of the association. The database used for the study was provided by the Volunteer Fire Department of Soledad, Colombia. They are responsible for carrying out the compliance control audits of the companies in the municipality. Among the results, compliance with the standards by most companies and a statistically significant association between impact, level of risk, and variables such as emergency brigades, fixed fire systems, among others, were observed.

During a pandemic, social distancing will affect the occupancy rate of public transportation in DKI Jakarta. The number of usually total passengers is partially occupied. Of course, this can change the carbon footprint generated for each person. For this reason, this research was conducted to determine the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions released during the COVID-19 pandemic. A direct survey has been conducted to determine the occupancy rate of mass rapid transit (MRT) vehicles and Trans Jakarta buses. Online vehicles such as cars and motorbikes were based on government policy. The results show that the MRT occupancy rate was 63±32 passengers, and for Trans Jakarta, it was 21±9 passengers. The carbon footprint from transportation that produces the most negligible CO2 emissions was MRT. The comparison obtained between the MRT and Trans Jakarta Bus's emission values were 0.026 and 0.091 kg CO2 eq/passenger. As for the online taxi transportation mode with four people, it produced the highest CO2 emissions. Therefore, the government needs have planned MRT to improve the quality of public transportation and capacity, especially in the main corridors of DKI Jakarta.
