Authors: Ayanoğlu Müge , Ongun Ebru Atike
Published: April 2021

Objectives: To analyze the clinical features of prolonged seizures and status epilepticus and perform risk analysis on super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions. Method: Demographic features, underlying etiologies, treatment modalities, electroencephalographic and neuroimaging outcome of intensive care unit admissions between 2015 and 2019 were analyzed. Results: Seventy-one children were enrolled. The common etiology for prolonged seizure was fever in 45.1% of the children (central nervous system infection: 16.9%, infection other than central nervous system: 28.2%), withdrawal of the antiepileptic medication in 40.9%, intoxications in 12.7% of the children and intracranial hemorrhage due to arteriovenous malformation in one (1.4%) patient. Initial diagnostics exhibited 23.9% of hypoglycemia, 18.3% of hypocalcemia, 15.5% of hyponatremia, 35.2% of acidosis, and 25.4% of elevated lactate. Group categorizations were based on fever and new onset of seizure. Approximately 45.1% of the population acquired fever at the onset and consisted of younger children compared to their counterparts (p=0.023). Children with pre-existing epilepsy had frequent history of sibling death, while patients with new-onset of seizure possessed significant lactate elevations, acidosis, and required mechanical ventilation more often (p=0.002, p=0.008, p=0.017). Twelve (16.9%) patients developed SRSE. Low serum sodium and calcium levels were associated with developing SRSE (OR: 10.800, 95%CI: 2.518-46.318; OR: 4.554, 95%CI: 1.159-17.892); however PRISM-3 score has been identified the single independent risk factor in children proceeding to SRSE (OR: 1.174, 95% CI: 1.039-1.327). Three (4.2%) children died of secondary complications. Tracheostomy cannulation was performed in two (16.7%) SRSE patients due to neurological incapability to maintain a patent airway. Conclusion: PRISM-3 score is the independent risk factor of SRSE. Electrolyte abnormalities (hyponatremia and hypocalcemia) are associated with developing SRSE.

Authors: Kalfazade Nadir , Güner Ekrem
Published: April 2021

Objective: Our objective in this study was to present the data for patients followed-up and underwent surgery due to complex renal cyst using Bosniak classification system. Method: Data of all patients followed-up or underwent surgery via open / minimal invasive methods due to complex renal cyst in our clinic between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Bosniak category IIF and higher lesions were included in the study. Results: A total of 83 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 52 ±10.1 years and 40 (48.2%) were male and 43 (51.8%) were female. 53 (63.9%) patients had Bosniak IIF, 18 (21.7%) patients had Bosniak III and 12 (14.5%) patients had Bosniak IV lesions. Mean lesion size was 54±27.4 mm. Surgery was performed in a total of 41 (49.4%) patients. Based on final pathology result, while benign pathologies were detected in 13 (31.7%) patients, clear cell renal cell carcinoma was detected in 22 (53.7%) patients and papillary renal cell carcinoma in 6 (14.6%) patients. Malignity rates were detected as 18.9%, 44.4% and 83.3% in Bosniak IIF, III and IV lesions respectively. While the mean lesion size of patients who had benign pathology were 64.6±18.4 mm, mean lesion size of patients with malign pathology were 58.3±29.7 mm (p =.41). Conclusion: Progression is an important malignity finding in Bosniak IIF lesions. An important amount of especially Bosniak III lesions is overtreated. Thus, active surveillance is a treatment which should be considered in these patients. More comprehensive prospective randomized studies are needed.

Background/aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between long-term mortality and survival with ABO blood group in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods: This observational study was carried out in two tertiary hospitals. 192 patients followed for 72 months due to acute coronary syndrome, showing a balanced distribution for ejection fraction, additional diseases and age, were included in the study. Results: The survival rate was evaluated in 72 months follow-up. In the survival analysis according to individual blood groups; there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. When the patients were divided into two groups, there was 24.39% mortality in those with O blood group and 15.23% mortality in those without O blood group (p>0.05). Although it was not statistically significant, in patients with O blood group, an increasing tendency was observed in 72 month mortality (p>0.05). There was no association between Rh antigen and survival in this study (p=0.79). Conclusion: Although it was not able to reach statistically significance limit, a decreasing tendency in long-term survival was observed in patients with O blood group compared to those without O blood group in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The results should be confirmed by larger prospective studies.

Published: April 2021

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the demographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of children with coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID-19), and to determine variations of the clinical presentation of the disease by age. Method: A total of 104 confirmed COVID-19 patients aged between 0-18 years were retrospectively analyzed. The study period was between March 15, 2020 and July 1, 2020. A confirmed COVID-19 was defined as a child who has positive real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). The patients were analyzed in terms of demographic, epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and imaging features, and clinical outcomes. Results: The median age (inter-quartile range) of the patients was 11.8 (8.4) years, and 53 (51%) were male. Ninety-eight (94%) of the patients had an epidemiological risk factor. The most frequent symptoms were cough (62%), fever (42%), and fatigue (33%). Seven patients (7%) were asymptomatic, 84 (81%) were mild, 9 (9%) were moderate, and 4 (4%) were in severe or critical condition. Ninety-eight (94%) of the patients underwent a chest x-ray, and 12% had pneumonia. The patients younger than 5 years were more likely to have fever (p = 0.019), rhinorrhea (p = 0.041), and diarrhea (p = 0.035). Muscle/join pain (26%), loss of smell/taste (20%), and headache (19%) were striking extra-pulmonary symptoms in older patients. Only 8% of the patients were hospitalized, and 4% were admitted to the intensive care unit. No death occurred. Conclusion: The most of the pediatric COVID-19 cases have mild symptoms without pneumonia. They may not present with fever or cough which are considered characteristic symptoms of the disease and the frequency of signs and symptoms may vary by age. Children younger than 5 years old are more likely to have fever, rhinorrhea, and diarrhea. School-age children and adolescents may present with extra-pulmonary symptoms such as muscle/join pain, smell/taste loss, and headache.

Published: April 2021

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study to present the results of patients with iliac wing autograft using the mosaicplasty method in order to reduce donor site morbidity and pain, which are two of the most common complications. METHOD: Between 2011-2018, 35 patients (19 men,16 women) who were harvested autograft from the iliac wing were included in the study.The average age of patients was determined to be 42 (10-64) years, the mean follow-up was 39.9 months (12-101). All patients were operated on for pseudoarthrosis surgery.The same orthopedic surgeon harvested all autografts. The patients were evaluated at post-op 15th day, the first month, and the sixth month. Patients were evaluated in their last follow-up (at sixth month) and monofilament test, two-point discrimination test, visual analog scale (VAS), pain duration, numbness, gait problems, major pain area, cosmetic satisfaction were questioned. RESULTS: The mean of the monofilament test was 4.16 (2.83-6.65). The mean two-point discrimination test was 36.5 mm (9-100 mm). The mean VAS was found to be 2.94 (1-4). In the post-op period, the duration of pain was determined as one month in 21 patients, two months in 5 patients, and four months in 2 patients, while seven patients did not complain of pain at all. It was observed that ten patients complained of numbness in the thigh region (28.5%), and 11 patients complained of gait problem and limping (31.4%). Fifteen patients used an assistive walking device after surgery (42.8%). Only two patients complained of pain in the graft area when the major pain region was questioned after surgery (5.7%). Twenty-one patients were found to be cosmetically satisfied (60%) following the surgery scar in the graft region. CONCLUSİON: We believe that iliac autografts taken with the mosaicplasty technique can be used safely in suitable patients with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction

Ni educación, ni deferencia ciega. Hacia un modelo crítico para la valoración de la prueba pericial
Authors: Herdy Rachel
Published: April 2021

Este artículo discute el argumento de Carmen Vázquez a favor de un modelo educacional para la valoración de la prueba pericial. No se enfoca en las herramientas institucionales que Vázquez cree podrían promover la educación de decisores, sino en los presupuestos psicológicos y epistémicos de su trabajo. Por un lado, cuestiona su suposición empírica de que decisores son cognitivamente capaces de comprender el razonamiento de los expertos; por otro, argumenta que la afirmación de Vázquez de que la deferencia es una actitud irracional que amenaza la legitimidad de las decisiones judiciales parece ignorar el papel que el razonamiento basado en la autoridad generalmente juega en la justificación judicial. El artículo esboza un modelo para la valoración de la prueba pericial que no promueve ni la educación, ni la deferencia ciega. En cambio, propone un modelo crítico y más democrático en el que no solo el juez o jurado científicamente educado tiene la capacidad de llegar a una decisión justificada sobre la base de la información transmitida por los expertos, sino la sociedad como un todo.

Published: April 2021

The data obtained on morphological and biochemical composition of blood of reared pigs, in terms of the level of hemoglobin and erythrocytes, showed that these parameters have a tendency to be more pronounced in the advanced productive group of animals. The results are highlighted on the impact of the developed balancing feed additives included in the composition of low-component compound feeds produced at the designed unit, on morphological and biochemical indices of pig blood. Age-related changes of other parameters were relevant to the physiological state and did not exceed the physiological norms.

Superdense Stellar Configurations in the Bimetric Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravity
Authors: Grigorian L. Sh. , Khachatryan H. F. , Saharian A. A.
Published: April 2021

Models of static spherically-symmetric stellar configurations are discussed within the framework of the Bimetric scalar-tensor theory of gravity. The latter, in addition to the metric tensor and the scalar field, contains a background metric tensor as an absolute variable of the theory. The simplest variant of the theory with a constant coupling parameter and with a zero cosmological function is considered. The analysis includes both the white dwarfs and neutron stars. It is shown that, depending on the value of the theory parameter, the corresponding masses can be notably larger than those in general relativity.
The impact of spiral density waves on the star formation distribution: a view from core-collapse supernovae
Authors: Karapetyan A. G. , Hakobyan A. A. , Barkhudaryan L. V. , Mamon G. A. , Kunth D. , Adibekyan V. , Turatto M.
Published: April 2021

We present an analysis of the impact of spiral density waves (DWs) on the radial and surface density distributions of core-collapse (CC) supernovae (SNe) in host galaxies with different arm classes. For the first time, we show that the corotation radius normalized surface density distribution of CC SNe (tracers of massive star formation) indicates a dip at corotation in long-armed grand-design (LGD) galaxies. The high SNe surface density just inside and outside corotation may be the sign of triggered massive star formation by the DWs. Our results may support the large-scale shock scenario induced by spiral DWs in LGD galaxies, which predicts a higher star formation efficiency around the shock fronts, avoiding the corotation region.
SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF COLLECTORS OF RECYCLABLE CAJAZEIRAS MATERIALS (ASCAMARC) AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF COLLECTING ACTIVITY TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Freire Cidelino Patrick Wendell , Vieira da Silva Everton
Published: April 2021

Background: recycling is an essential tool for promoting sustainable development, as mechanisms that reduce the use of virgin raw materials will limit the use of scarce resources and reduce the progressive accumulation of waste. as well as contain their side effects and pollution causing health problems, among others. At the base of the recycling system are the collectors of recyclables, agents of this activity who are the workers who pick, select and sell recyclable materials such as paper, glass, metal, garbage, and other reusable materials. Aim: this study aimed to verify the income earned and the contribution to the sustainable development process arising from collecting recyclable materials. Methods: the proposed study was carried out at the Cajazeiras Waste Pickers Association (ASCAMARC), in this city, Alto Sertão da Paraíba. The population and sample are 13 recyclable waste pickers who actively participate in ASCAMARC and voluntarily agreed to participate in the research after being informed about its objectives. The content analysis technique was used through transcripts of interviews with the target audience and documents from secondary sources, and the collected data were also analyzed in quantitative form. Results and Discussion: the results show that 12 (92.31%) waste pickers earn less than one wage, and 01 (7.69%) waste pickers earn a minimum wage through the activity of collecting recyclable material and that there is currently great concern about the damage generated to the environment by solid wastes that have a long degradation time. It was found that 13 (100%) waste pickers believe that collecting recyclable materials contributes to the environment. Conclusions: It can be concluded from the results obtained the social, economic, and environmental importance of the work of waste pickers, despite the precarious conditions in which they perform the activity, without their participation in the base of the recycling chain, perhaps the environmental situation would be more chaotic in recent times.
ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN CESARIAN SECTION PROCEDURES TO INDICATION OF CONTRACTED PELVIS IN COVID-19 CONFIRMED PATIENTS
Authors: Suryadi Taufik , Nonda Maracilu Cut , Kulsum Kulsum
Published: April 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed several ethical challenges for all medical personnel. Every doctor always provides the best service to patients and follows the COVID-19 health protocol in handling patients. Ethical issues arise when doctors are faced with a dilemma in handling COVID-19 patients related to human resources, limited facilities, and infrastructure in handling patients in the regional hospital, so the patient must be referred. It was reported an obstetrics case: a 24-year-old patient presented with the first pregnancy, gestational age 39-40 weeks with heartburn complaints, and spotting from the birth canal. The patient was a referral from a regional hospital whose elective cesarean section was planned due to the diagnosis of a contracted pelvis. However, it turns out that the rapid screening test results were reactive to COVID-19 and positive in RT-PCR examination. The medical procedure taken was the immediate termination of pregnancy by a cesarean section that required mental preparation of the patient, family, and a team of doctors. The formation of a multidisciplinary team of doctors, the preparation of tools and places for postoperative care for mothers and babies, provide information to patients and families, informed consent, special needs of mothers and babies is an ethical challenge that needs to be addressed carefully. In cases of pregnancy termination in COVID-19 patients, the ethical challenge is its appeal, which should find a solution using clinical ethics theory and the basic principle of medical ethics.

Authors: DEVI Yuli Puspita , ABDILLAH Rumaisah , MUTHMAINNAH Muthmainnah
Published: April 2021

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a glucose tolerance disorder that first appears during pregnancy. GDM can cause a variety of obstetric and perinatal complications for pregnant women and their fetuses. The prevalence of GDM in the city of Surabaya in 2015 amounted to 2.29%, increasing to 3.88% in 2018. Aim: The purpose of this study was to analyze the determinants (family history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, history of birth weight, parity, and the age of the pregnant woman) that influence the GDM. Methods: This research is an analytical study with an observational approach. The research design was carried out using a case-control study. In this study, the number of samples was 36 people, 6 cases, and 30 people as controls, and were taken randomly. The data source obtained from secondary data (medical records of pregnant women) at Mulyorejo Health Center Surabaya. The analysis used in this study was a simple logistic regression test. Results and Discussion: The result showed an effect of a family history of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.035) on the incidence of GDM. Parity was a potential variable (p = 0.077) on the incidence of GDM. Meanwhile, BMI, history of birth weight, and mother's age did not affect the incidence of GDM. Conclusion: Pregnant women with a family history of diabetes who are not balanced with maintaining a good lifestyle can experience complications of developing GDM.
Retorisk agency – Hvad skaber retorikken?

Published: April 2021

Begrebet agency har i de senere år stået centralt i retorikfaglige diskussioner. Dels om retorik som handleform generelt, dels om retorens personlige muligheder for at handle symbolsk i forhold til sociale strukturer, der bestemmer hvem, hvornår og hvordan der kan tales. Den fremtrædende amerikanske retoriker Michael Leffs besøg i Danmark gav anledning til en temadag på Københavns Universitet om begrebets anvendelsesmuligheder i retorisk kritik og de perspektiver, det indebærer for retorisk teori.
Krisretorik. Retoriska aspekter på kriskommunikation
Authors: Mral Brigitte , Vigsø Orla
Published: April 2021

Ni minns säkert att Migrationsverket firade några utvisningar av flyktingar med tårta och ”champagne” för några år sedan. Ni kanske inte lika tydligt kommer ihåg att det inträffade en incident i kärnkraftverket Forsmark för några år sedan som kunde ha fått stora konsekvenser och där företaget Vattenfall valde att vara så fåordiga som möjligt. Flodvågskatastrofen julen 2004 då den svenska regeringen skulle vara med och hantera situationen vill vi nog helst glömma. Men hur hanterades situationen i Tyskland som inte var lika hårt drabbat som Sverige. Ni kanske däremot minns att det var en handlingskraftig italienare som fattade snabba beslut om hjälpinsatser efter att flodvågskatastrofen inträffat. Det var Guido Bertolaso. Men hur gick det sedan för den framgångsrike ledaren som fått så mycket uppmärksamhet och samtidigt personifierat en hel krisorganisation. Ni minns att ”Svininfluensan” upptäcktes i Mexiko och att vi började sprita händerna intensivt och att 60 procent av svenska befolkningen fick en spruta. Men hur bestämde myndigheterna namnet på en så uppmärksammad smitta? Andra saker som vi undrar över är hur fotbollssupportrar uppträder och om ingen pratar dem tillrätta. Och vad ska vi tro när andra går ner på djupet och om vi verkligen kan förvara vårt kärnavfall hundratusentals år nere i det svenska urberget. I denna forskningsantologi analyseras några olika typer av inträffade händelser och situationer som krävt kriskommunikation från inblandade aktörer.
Word order in French: the role of animacy
Authors: Thuilier Juliette , Grant Margaret , Crabbé Benoît , Abeillé Anne
Published: April 2021

A major goal of the quantitative study of syntax has been to identify factors that have predictive power on speaker choices in the face of word-order or valence alternations (e.g. Arnold et al. 2000; Bresnan et al. 2007; Bresnan & Ford 2010; Bader & Häussler 2010). In this paper, we study the role of animacy on the order of constituents in French. Animacy has been shown to affect sentence production in other languages, either directly (Feleki & Branigan 1999; Kempen & Harbusch 2004; Tanaka et al. 2011) or indirectly through grammatical role assignment (McDonald et al. 1993). Corpus studies however, have failed to find such an effect in French (Thuilier 2012a; Thuilier et al. 2014). Using a sentence recall task, we examined whether animacy has an impact on linear ordering or on grammatical function assignment. While we do find evidence for a role of animacy in the choice between active and passive voice, we do not find a preference to place animate arguments first with ditransitive verbs nor with nominal coordinations. While these findings tend to support the indirect hypothesis (McDonald et al. 1993; Kempen & Harbusch 2004), we also find what may look like an anti-animacy effect: inanimate direct objects tend to precede animate indirect objects. We propose that canonical mappings between syntactic function and semantic role play a role in putting (inanimate theme) direct objects before (animate recipient) indirect objects, thus overriding the animacy first tendency in French.

Published: April 2021

An 8-year-old boy with poor control of atopic dermatitis could eat potato products such as French fries without restrictions until 21 months of age. However, he developed generalized urticaria after eating potato products at the same age. Therefore, potatoes were excluded from his diet; nevertheless, he continued to consume a very small amount of potato starch but was without symptoms until the age of 8 years. At this age, he developed anaphylaxis after consuming potato starch and required administration of intramuscular epinephrine. He tested positive for potato-specific immunoglobulin E, skin prick test, and basophil activation test. He developed severe eczema with dry skin and erosion. We later discovered that potato starch had been used for play clay at his nursery school. Although he discontinued using potato starch play clay, it remained present in his surroundings for 6 years. His potato allergy may have developed and continued to worsen as a result of making indirect contact with surfaces that had previously been exposed to the allergen. Two-dimensional Western blot analysis on potato starch revealed the presence of proteins binding to the immunoglobulin E of the patient. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis findings showed that 5 of the 6 protein bands had a similar molecular weight as that of potato proteins. Thus far, there are no reports of anaphylaxis due to potato starch. Children with atopic dermatitis or damaged skin may have sensitivity to potato starch and could develop anaphylaxis as noted in this case.

Published: April 2021

Introduction:

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the utilization of telehealth capabilities by pediatric orthopaedic departments across the United States in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods:

One hundred four pediatric orthopaedic departments were investigated regarding each institution's current telehealth utilization as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results:

Of the 104 hospitals contacted across the United States, 100 pediatric orthopaedic departments in 39 states responded for an overall response rate of 96%. Of the 95 institutions offering telehealth services, 83 (87.4%) cited the COVID-19 pandemic as the impetus for the implementation of telehealth services. Of these, 29 institutions (31%) began offering services from March 16 to March 31 and 34 (36%) began offering services from April 1 to April 15. Regional analysis demonstrated an 800% increase in telehealth services in the state of New York, a 600% increase in Florida, a 500% increase in Texas, a 400% increase in Michigan, a 200% increase in Pennsylvania, and a 1,100% increase in California.

Discussion:

This study demonstrates the rapid response measures instituted by pediatric orthopaedic institutions to meet the fundamental needs of the pediatric population during this unprecedented pandemic.
Meniscal Salvage: Where We Are Today
Authors: Anderson Ashley B. , Gaston Joel , LeClere Lance E. , Dickens Jonathan F.
Published: April 2021

The menisci are fibrocartilaginous semilunar structures in the knee that provide load support. Injury to the meniscus alters its load sharing and biomechanical profile. Knee arthroscopy with meniscus débridement is the most common orthopaedic surgical procedure done in the United States. The current goals of meniscal surgery are to preserve native meniscal tissue and maintain structural integrity. Meniscal preservation is critical to maintain the normal mechanics and homeostasis of the knee; however, it is not always feasible because of the structure's poor blood supply and often requires removal of irreparable tissue with meniscectomy. Efforts have increasingly focused on the promotion of meniscal healing and the replacement of damaged menisci with allografts, scaffolds, meniscal implants, or substitutes. The purpose of this article was to review current and future meniscal salvage treatments such as meniscus transplant, synthetic arthroplasty, and possible bioprinted meniscus to allow patients to maintain quality of life, limit pain, and delay osteoarthritis.
Psychometric Properties and Measurement Invariance of the Arabic Version of the Flourishing Scale
Authors: AL-Dossary Saeed Abdullah
Published: April 2021

The flourishing Scale (FS) is a measure of overall life well-being. The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Arabic version of the FS in the Saudi Arabian context. Data was collected from two samples: 969 students at two universities and 299 full-time employees working in multiple sectors. Internal consistency of the FS was examined by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient to test relaibility. To evaluate convergent and discriminant validity, the FS was compared with other measures of well-being, happiness, and depression. In order to examine the factor structure and the measurement invariance of the FS across study samples, confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The FS showed good internal reliability as well as convergent and discriminant validity. Results also provided support for a one-factor and an invariant structure of the FS. Taken together, these results suggest that the FS Arabic version is a reliable and valid measure for the Arabic cultural context.

La reciente regulación del teletrabajo a través del Real Decreto-ley 28/2020 plantea diversas cuestiones y, entre ellas, la relación que puede existir entre esta modalidad de prestación de servicios y el derecho a la conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar de las personas trabajadoras. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la forma como a nivel de la Unión Europea, estatal, autonómico y local, se relacionan ambos conceptos, así como la visión que se tiene de ellos. También se aborda el papel de la negociación colectiva en esta materia.
Allelopathic Effect of Lamiaceous Weeds on Seed Germination and Early Growth of Aromatic Rice (Oryza sativa ‘Gobindobhog’)
Authors: Oraon Satyajit , Mondal Subrata
Published: April 2021

The present study reveals the allelopathic effect of aqueous leaf and root extracts of
Hyptis suaveolens
(L.) Poit. and
Leucas cephalotes
(Roth) Spreng. on seed germination and early growth of
Oryza sativa
‘Gobindobhog.’ Leaf and root extracts at different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, 4%, and 5%) were used to study the effect in laboratory-based experiments. After 5 days of incubation, seed germination and root and shoot length of rice seedlings were measured, and both
H. suaveolens
and
L. cephalotes
showed allelopathic effects on seed germination and growth parameters.
Hyptis suaveolens
showed a more pronounced effect at 5% concentration of aqueous leaf and root extracts than
L. cephalotes
. The inhibitory effects were as follows: root length > seed germination > shoot length. Both
H. suaveolens
and
L. cephalotes
impede seed germination and early growth of rice by releasing water-soluble allelochemicals from their leaves and roots.

BETWEEN FORMALISM AND FLEXIBILITY. DILEMMAS OF THE REFORM OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND COURT-ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE IN POLAND FROM A COMPARATIVE LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Hadel Maciej
Published: April 2021

Administrative law is an area subject to dynamic change; this is due to the specificity of this branch of law, focused on the regulation of social relations established between the individual and public authorities in every sphere of life in which the legislator allowed the state to act. The subject of this study is to present one of the slices of changes in the above reality, namely the reform of administrative proceedings, which entered into force on June 1, 2017. The background of the presented considerations is the thesis of the administrative law crisis. This article focuses on a specific aspect of the above reform. Namely - the issue of challengeability of decisions within the administrative course of instance. Doctrinal positions in this area were presented, a comparative legal perspective was also presented, namely the reform of the Austrian administrative court procedure and the issue of administrative proceedings correlated with this issue. The article ends with conclusions regarding the lack of efficiency and effectiveness of the Polish model of administrative and court-administrative proceedings, especially in the context of the legitimacy of maintaining a model of two-instance administrative proceedings.
MEDICAL INCIDENT INSURANCE
Authors: Huras-Darkowska Agnieszka
Published: April 2021

Regulations in force since 2012. defining the rules and procedure for determining compensation and redress in the case of medical events raised many doubts about the legal nature of the insurance contract for these events (compulsory or voluntary insurance, accident insurance or third party liability insurance) and the liability of medical entities. In practice, the doubts concerned the additional burden on hospitals to pay the insurance premium, and in the absence of insurance or exhaustion of the sum insured – the need to satisfy the claims of the applicant. A huge number of practical and legal doubts caused the amendment of the applicable provisions.
Self as One and Many Narratives
Authors: Ulatowski Joseph ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2021

There are different approaches to the narrative self. I limit myself to one approach that argues narratives have an important role to play in our lives without it being true that a narrative constitutes and creates the self. My own position is broadly sympathetic with that view, but my interest lies with the question of whether there is truth in the claim that to create one’s self-narrative is to create oneself. I argue that a self-narrative may be multiply realised by the inner self—impressions and emotions—and the outer self—roles in work and life. I take an optimistic attitude to the idea that narrative provides a metaphor that may stimulate insight into the nature of self if we accept a plurality of narrative selves. This paper mines a vein of research on narratives for insights into selves without being bewitched into accepting implausible conclusions.
Jogging-related Risk Cognition and the Stimulation of Risky Behavior during Jogging
Authors: Hu Degang , Liu Xiaolei , Xiao Hongfan , Zhang Wulong
Published: April 2021

Objectives: With the rapid increase in the number of Chinese joggers, the number of people incurring injuries from jogging also has increased. Evaluating the relationship between jogging-related risk cognition and risky behaviors while jogging will help improve jogging-related
risk cognition among joggers. Methods: We collected questionnaires about jogging-related risky behaviors and risk cognition from 3468 Chinese exercisers using a stratified random sampling method. We analyzed these data with correlation and multi-linear regression analyses. Results:
The regression coefficients between risk cognition related to jogging-related technical procedures and risky behavior, between risk cognition related to personal physical and mental conditions and risky behavior, between risk cognition related to jogging-related equipment factors and risky
behavior, between risk cognition related to jogging-related environmental factors and risky behavior, and between risk cognition related to personal jogging competition-related factors and risky behavior were all negative and statistically significant (p < .05). Conclusions: The
level of risk cognition related to jogging is negatively correlated with actual risky behavior during jogging, which indicates that the higher the level of jogging-related risk cognition, the fewer jogging-related risky behaviors occur.
La carrera docente universitaria en España
Authors: Hinojo Lucena Francisco Javier , Aznar Díaz Inmaculada , Rodríguez García Antonio Manuel , Romero Rodríguez José María
Published: April 2021

El inicio de la carrera docente universitaria en España se inicia con la obtención de un contrato predoctoral. Los principales programas subvencionados por organismos públicos son las ayudas de Formación del Profesorado Universitario (FPU) y las ayudas de Formación del Personal Investigador (FPI). Los objetivos del trabajo se relacionaron principalmente con el análisis de la perspectiva profesional de los contratados predoctorales FPU y FPI. Para ello, se ha utilizado una metodología de corte cuantitativo a partir de la aplicación de un cuestionario cerrado tipo Likert. Se establecieron como variables de análisis la propia perspectiva profesional, formación e investigación y docencia. Entre los resultados se constatan algunas de las diferencias propias de cada ayuda, como la labor docente, donde las puntuaciones son más altas en los contratados FPU. Aunque no se encuentran diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del tipo de ayuda en las distintas variables. Finalmente, se evidencian algunas de las lagunas formativas del colectivo predoctoral y la diferenciación en la perspectiva laboral, en relación al campo de conocimiento del programa de doctorado.

The beginning of the university teaching career in Spain usually begins with obtaining a predoctoral contract. The main programs subsidized by public institutions are the aids of University Teacher Training (FPU) and the Training of Research Staff (FPI). The purposes of this paper were mainly related to the analysis of the professional perspective of the FPU and FPI predoctoral staff. For this, a quantitative methodology has been used based on the application of a closed Likert questionnaire. It were established as analysis variables the professional perspective, training and research and teaching. The results show some of the differences inherent to each aid, such as teaching, where the scores are higher in the FPU contracts. Although no statistically significant differences are found depending on the type of aid in the different variables. Lastly, some of the training gaps of the predoctoral group and the differentiation in the work perspective, in relation to the field of knowledge of the doctoral program, are evident.

Se presenta un estudio que pretende proponer estrategias de intervención didáctica y de evaluación para desarrollar y mejorar el funcionamiento ejecutivo y la creatividad en el alumnado de secundaria. Dicho estudio parte del análisis de las variables creatividad y funciones ejecutivas (memoria de trabajo (actualización), planificación, inhibición (verbal y motora), flexibilidad y toma de decisiones) medidas a través del Test de pensamiento creativo de Torrance(creatividad), la Escala de inteligencia de Weschler (WISC-IV, memoria de trabajo), Torre de Hanoi (planificación), Stroop (inhibición verbal), Go/no Go (inhibición motora), Test de Categorías de Wisconsin (flexibilidad) y el Iowa Gambling Task (toma de decisiones). Se han buscado las posibles relaciones entre las variables a partir de un diseño descriptivo, correlacional y transversal, en el que los resultados muestran que flexibilidad y creatividad se relacionan (r=) e inhibición verbal y creatividad también se relacionan (r=). A la luz de estos resultados se proponen estrategias metodológicas basadas en la investigación y la resolución de problemas y de evaluación formativa que insten, activando las funciones ejecutivas, a la autoevalución crítica, participada, la evaluación compartida con iguales.

A study is presented that aims to propose didactic intervention and evaluation strategies to develop and improve executive functioning and creativity in secondary school students. Said study starts from the analysis of the variables creativity and executive functions (working memory (updating), planning, inhibition (verbal and motor), flexibility and decision-making) measured through the Torrance Creative Thinking Test (creativity), Weschler Intelligence Scale (WISC-IV, working memory), Tower of Hanoi (planning), Stroop (verbal inhibition), Go / no Go (motor inhibition), Wisconsin Category Test (flexibility) and the Iowa Gambling Task (decision making). The possible relationships between the variables have been sought from a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design, in which the results show that flexibility and creativity are related (r =) and verbal inhibition and creativity are also related (r =). In light of these results, methodological strategies based on research and problem solving and formative evaluation are proposed that encourage, activating executive functions, critical, participatory self-evaluation, shared evaluation with peers.
