Background and aims. Considering nowadays trend among dentists to install a radiology laboratory beside their current practice, we proposed to investigate the aspect of financial efficiency related to such investment.

Methods. We evaluate two existing options: simple investment, consisting of intra-oral equipment and accessories, or investment in a radiology center that includes panoramic and CBCT equipment. The initial investment includes equipment acquisition, fitting out of the location, radiology accreditation and other miscellaneous expenses. Costs were estimated based on current quotations on the specific market available in Romania. We also described a financial model to estimate the financial risk.

Results. The analysis was made under the assumptions that the laboratory is operated by the dentist who made the investment in the form of a legal person and paying corporate tax like all Romanian entities. The analysis took into account current fees for different types of x-rays, usual expenses of such a laboratory, and describes the approach to this analysis, starting with the initial investment estimation and forecast of revenues and expenses. Based on these projections and assessment of the working capital, we have built the cash flows forecast. Following a risk analysis we could assess the financial efficiency of the two investment alternatives.

Conclusions. Our study reveals that the radiology center represents a more profitable investment due to the higher economic return rate.

Published: March 2020

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of gastroprotection and identify the main factors that influence the taking of protective drugs among the adult population, who are treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).

Material and Methods: This study was cross-sectional, conducted by including a contingent of 800 users of primary health care services (n=369, 46% males and n=431, 54% females). Included in the study were individuals of both sexes aged 18+ who sought counselling or treatment during the three-month period. The data collection of this study was based on the completion of a structured questionnaire, which included questions related to the use of NSAID and the modalities for the description and application of these drugs, and simultaneous taking of gastroprotective drugs.

Results: The prevalence of the gastroprotective drugs use was higher among the elderly, individuals living in urban areas, those with higher education, those with daily use of NSAID, individuals receiving prescriptions from their own doctors, and those suffering side effects from the use of NSAID, as well as subjects that had a longer duration of NSAID use.

Conclusion: This paper demonstrates the need to improve the quality of primary health care service through informing and educating patients regarding the need to take gastro-protective drugs for those in high risk of adverse effects manifested by the use of NSAID.

Published: March 2020

Objectives. Ultrasonographic scanning is currently the most widespread imaging diagnostic procedure. The method provides real-time morphological, vascular and elastographic information in a non-invasive manner. In recent years, harmonic vascular examination has become accessible using intravenous contrast agents. In urological pathology, this procedure is used in the detection and evaluation of vascular and ischemic complications, in the classification of complex cysts according to the Bosniak system, also in the renal lesions with uncertain etiology and in acute pyelonephritis for the detection of abscesses. The contrast agent (SonoVue) is angiospecific and can be used in patients transplanted immediately after surgery without adverse effects or impaired renal function. Thus, it is desirable to be used in the nephrological pathology of the renal graft and to develop diagnostic models based on the evaluation of renal microvascularization, as well as the quantitative data resulting from the graphical representation of the specific parameters. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current state of the literature regarding the place and role of contrast substance ultrasound in the early diagnosis of acute renal graft dysfunction and to make a differential diagnosis of this pathological entity.

Method. This review quantifies the role of contrast ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute complications of the renal graft. The research was conducted based on the databases PubMed, MedScape, Cochrane , according to the search criteria such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound + kidney transplant, "time intensity curves" + "kidney transplant”, filtered for the period 2004-2018.

Results. In the nephrological pathology of the renal graft, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a valuable tool, superior to Doppler ultrasound in predicting the evolution of the renal graft, identifying very small early defects in renal microvascularization. A number of studies succeeded in identifying acute graft dysfunction, some of which establish its etiology - humoral rejection versus acute tubular necrosis. On the other hand, the contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters do not have the ability to distinguish between cellular and humoral rejection.

Conclusions. If, at present, the histopathological examination is the only one that can differentiate with certainty the cause of acute renal graft dysfunction, we consider that contrast-enhanced ultrasound, as a non-invasive imaging technique, opens a favorable perspective for increasing the survival of the renal graft and decreasing the complications in the renal transplant. The combination of other ultrasound techniques, together with contrast-enhanced ultrasound, could lead to the development of new diagnostic models.
Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L): a rare presentation and review of the literature
Authors: Soni Sweta , Pareek Puneet , Narayan Satya , Varshney Vaibhav
Published: March 2020

Mucinous cystic neoplasms of liver (MCN-L; previously referred to as cystadenomas or cystadenocarcinoma) are rare cystic tumors that occur within the liver parenchyma, or less frequently, in the extrahepatic bile ducts. It is reported to account for <5% of all liver cysts. The differential diagnosis of MCN-L includes intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with cystic change, echinococcal cyst, and a simple cyst. Invasive MCNs can only be differentiated from non-invasive MCNs by microscopic evaluation for the presence of ovarian-type stroma. Intraoperative biopsy and frozen section(s) are essential to differentiate MCNs from other cystic liver lesions. The treatment of choice is complete excision and can result in excellent survival with initial correct diagnosis. But because of its rare presentation and insufficient recognition frequently leads to an incorrect initial or delayed diagnosis or often misdiagnosed.

Published: March 2020

AIMS: This research aims to determine the epidemiology and the spatial distribution of intestinal parasitosis in the city of Teresina.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out based on the data of parasitological fecal exams performed in the Laboratory Raul Bacelar between January, 2014 and July, 2017. In addition to the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis and polyparasitism, we verified the association of these diseases with gender, zone and period of the year by means of the chi-squared test, whereas the relation with age was analyzed by the Mann-Kendall tests and multiple comparisons of age classes. The spatial distribution was performed using the QGIS georeferencing software.RESULTS: The prevalence of enteroparasitosis in Teresina is 17,8% with Ascaris lumbricoides being the most common species, due to the precarious sanitary conditions of the city. The prevalence of individuals with polyparasitism is 3,13%, in which an association between the species Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar was found. There was no relation between intestinal parasitosis with gender, but we verified that individuals in rural areas are more susceptible to these diseases. The species Ascaris lumbricoides and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar occur more frequently in the first and second semester, respectively. We observed that there is an apparent tendency to increase cases of E. histolytica/dispar and reduction of cases of Giardia sp. according to aging. Mapping intestinal parasitosis showed us that there is a prevalence between one and 20% in most of Teresina's neighborhoods, and Ascariasis embodies at least 40% of cases of enteroparasitosis in these neighborhoods.CONCLUSIONS: Investments in basic sanitation and new epidemiological investigations must be carried out to control intestinal parasitosis in Teresina, emphasizing that children and the elderly should be considered priority groups in these programs.

AIMS: The objective of this study was to identify the phytochemical profile and to evaluate the biological effects of the crude ethanolic extract (EE) and the ethanolic fraction (EF) of leaves of the species Cissus spinosa Cambess, after oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) in mice.METHODS: Phytochemical profile was performed detecting functional groups and, analysis of total flavonoids and phenols concentration, as well as the antiradical activity in EE and EF. The phytochemical characterization was done for the identification of flavonoids present in the leaves of the plant. In the biochemical tests, hematological parameters, glucose and total cholesterol dosages in plasma, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and lipid damage marker were evaluated in different tissues (liver, kidney and heart), besides genotoxic and immunological analyzes. The animals received 15 days of treatment, via gavage, with EE (50 mg kg-1) or EF (50 mg kg-1) and on the 15th day, an intraperitoneal injection of CP (100 mg kg-1) or saline (0.9%). After 24 h the last treatment, the animals were anesthetized for blood withdrawal, sacrificed and removal of the organs.RESULTS: In the phytochemical analyzes, the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols was identified, the latter presented a higher concentration for EF. Eight flavonoids were identified - Rutin, Quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside, Quercitrin, Taxifolin, Quercetin, Canferol, Luteolin and Apigenin. In the biochemical analyzes, in general, EE showed a better antioxidant action against oxidative damages, hypoglycemic and antitilipemic action when comparing with EF, probably due to the synergism caused by flavonoids. It was observed the reduction and an increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes, due to the action of antioxidant compounds and alkaloids present in the plant, also considering the question of the seasonal period that directly interferes in the production of these compounds. In the immunological analysis, the extracts did not stimulate the spontaneous production of oxygen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO•). CONCLUSIONS: Other studies, such as the variation of the chemical composition of the plant by local seasonality, hypoglycemic and antilipemic action, should be carried out to better delineate the biological action present in this plant.
A comparison of reactivation experiences following vaporization and intramuscular injection (IM) of synthetic 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting
Authors: Uthaug Malin V. , Lancelotta R. , Ortiz Bernal A. M. , Davis A. K. , Ramaekers Johannes G.
Published: March 2020

Background

Previous research suggests a therapeutic potential of5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine(5-MeO-DMT). However, online anecdotal reports have described a phenomenon following cessation of the acute effects of 5-MeO-DMT use which has been termedreactivation(i.e., re-experiencing [“flashback”]). To date, no research has investigated whether different routes of administration may confer different reactivation rates, effects and experiences.

Aims

We aimed to assess whether intramuscular injection (IM) and vaporization of 5-MeO-DMT conferred different reactivation rates, changes in satisfaction with life as well as ratings of the experience with ego dissolution and the mystical.

Methods

Using internet-based advertisements, 27 respondents (Mage= 32. SE = 1.43; males = 18; North America = 19) completed an online-based survey.

Results

Of the 14 participants in the IM group, 3 (21%) reported reactivations; in contrast, of the 13 participants in the vaporization group, 9 (69%) reported reactivations. Redosing (more than 1 dose) occurred more frequently in the vaporization group (N= 8) (1–6 times with 3–35 mg of 5-MeO-DMT), relative to the IM group (N= 2) (1–5 times with 5–10 mg of 5-MeO-DMT). All participants in the IM group experienced release of physical tension, compared to 8 participants in the vaporization group. Participants in the IM group reported longer time of onset of acute effects (between 1 and 3 [N= 6] and 4–6 min [N= 6]), relative to the vaporization group where the majority (N= 11) reported a rapid onset of 1–50 s.

Conclusion

Findings suggest that compared to vaporization, the IM route of administering 5-MeO-DMT is associated with lower and less doses, lower frequencies of reporting reactivation, a higher frequency of physical tension release, and a slower onset of acute effects.

Published: March 2020

This study investigated bovine TRL4 gene c.9421C>T, c.2021C>T and c.-10C>T polymorphisms and their relationship with somatic cell count and indicators of milk composition. Blood samples were collected from 152 Lithuanian Holstein dairy cows. The method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to genotype TLR4 gene polymorphisms. The data concerning somatic cell count and milk composition indicators (fat, protein, lactose) were analysed. The influence of genes and statistical significance of differences between different genotypes was evaluated by the one-factor dispersion analysis (ANOVA). Results showed that c.9421C>T was significantly associated with somatic cell count in milk. Also a significant association between the genotypes of c.9421C>T and somatic cell count was found (P<0.05). Cattle with the TT genotype showed the lowest somatic cell count. TLR4 gene polymorphisms c.2021C>T and c.-10C>T have no significant effect on mastitis resistance and milk composition. Analysis of the combined genotypes TC/CC of c.2021C>T and c.9421C>T allowed us to determine the possible association of SNPs with the somatic cell count and lactose content. The study showed a significant association between the somatic cell count (SCC) and TLR4 polymorphism c.9421C>T in Lithuanian Holstein cows. SCS of cows with a TT genotype was significantly lower and indicated the association of TT genotype with resistance to mastitis in c.9421C>T and allele T might be the beneficial allele for mastitis resistance.
Free vibration of FG sandwich plates partially supported by elastic foundation using a quasi-3D finite element formulation
Authors: Ich Le Cong , Nam Pham Vu , Kien Nguyen Dinh
Published: March 2020

Free vibration of functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates partially supported by a Pasternak elastic foundation is studied. The plates consist of three layers, namely a pure ceramic hardcore and two functionally graded skin layers. The effective material properties of the skin layers are considered to vary in the plate thickness by a power gradation law, and they are estimated by Mori--Tanaka scheme. The quasi-3D shear deformation theory, which takes the thickness stretching effect into account, is adopted to formulate a finite element formulation for computing vibration characteristics.  The accuracy of the derived formulation is confirmed through a comparison study. The numerical result reveals that the foundation supporting area plays an important role on the vibration behavior of the plates, and the effect of the layer thickness ratio on the frequencies is governed by the supporting area. A parametric study is carried out to highlight the effects of material distribution, layer thickness ratio, foundation stiffness and area of the foundation support on the frequencies and mode shapes of the plates. The influence of the side-to-thickness ratio on the frequencies of the plates is also examined and discussed.

Authors: Chinh Nguyen Van
Published: March 2020

In this paper, static bending of two-direction functionally graded sandwich (2D-FGSW) plates is studied by using a finite element model. The plates consist of a homogeneous core and two functionally graded skin layers with material properties being graded in both the thickness and length directions by power gradation laws. Based on a third-order shear deformation theory, a finite element model is derived and employed in the analysis. Bending characteristics, including deflections and stresses are evaluated for the plates with classical boundary conditions under various types of distributed load. The effects of material distribution and layer thickness ratio on the static bending behavior of the plates are examined and highlighted.
EFFECTS OF HEAD GAPS AND ROTOR GAP ON FLOW RATE AND HYDRAULIC LEAKAGE OF A NOVEL NON-CONTACT ROTOR BLOWER
Authors: Thai Nguyen Hong
Published: March 2020

The Roots blower belongs to the non-contact rotor pump family, therefore, there are always certain clearances between rotors and clearances between the rotor and the stator. These clearances have serious effects on the working performance of blower. Therefore, to determine the design error and the method of machining to achieve the lowest price, required machining technology, flow rate and pressure, the determination of leakage flow rate and pressure through the head gap and rotor gap is very necessary. Thus, in this paper, the authors conduct to build a mathematical model in order to determine the flow rate and pressure of blower in the ideal case in which there is no clearance and the case in which there are clearances. On that basis, the authors aim to evaluate the impact of head gaps and rotor gap on flow rate and pressure leakage. In order to improve the working performance of blower and to choose the machining method that is suitable for the applications of this blower.

Published: March 2020

Abstract Domestic violence and bullying are public health problems with serious and lasting physical and emotional consequences. This study investigated the perception of the social and affective support network (characterized by the links between the family and school contexts) of adolescents victimized by domestic violence and involved in bullying. Fifteen student participants from a school in the south of Brazil answered to the Five Field Map. Participants were selected using a questionnaire on bullying and a question from the Questionário Juventude Brasileira [Brazilian Youth Questionnaire]. After analyzing the network’s structure and adolescents’ perceptions regarding significant people, results indicated a greater number of positive contacts in the Relatives, Family, and School fields. The most cited support figures were family, friends, and teacher. Adolescents indicated their perpetrators of domestic violence as positive contacts. Understanding significant relationships that predispose adolescents to involvement in bullying contributes to the implementation of appropriate interventions to prevent different expressions of violence.

Authors: Yang P. , Liu Y.-h. , Yang K. , Ouyang Z.-b.
Published: March 2020

The leakage of graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) in landfills poses a great threat to the environment. A series of column tests were conducted to investigate the effects of hydrostatic pressure, input concentration and bentonite modification on the transport of GONPs in the geosynthetic clay liner (GCL). The experimental results show that pressure affected the mobility of GONPs at high input concentrations, while this effect was smaller at low input concentrations. The retention of GONPs in a GCL containing thermally modified bentonite (TMB) and sodium-modified bentonite (SMB) was greater than that in a GCL containing unmodified bentonite. The type of TMB, SMB and unmodified bentonite was granular bentonite. The sorption and deposition of GONPs in GCLs were also investigated. Pressure affected the deposition of GONPs by decreasing the permeability of the GCL and delaying the transport of GONPs but had little effect on the sorption of GONPs. The dependence of GONP retention on pressure was greater at high input concentrations than that at low input concentrations. The sorption of GONPs in TMB and SMB was much greater than that in unmodified bentonite because of the greater specific surface area and lower negative zeta potentials of TMB and SMB.

Radikalleşme ve şiddet içeren aşırılık, ABD’de 11 Eylül saldırılarından sonra ulusal güvenliğe yönelik en ciddi tehdit olarak algılanmaya başlanmıştır. Militan Selefi terörizmle bağlantılı olan veya bu örgütlere ideolojik bir yakınlık duyan bireylerin şiddete başvurmalarını ve çevrelerindekileri aşırılığa teşvik etmelerini önlemek için Barack Obama Yönetimi kapsamlı bir çalışma başlatmıştır. Sosyal hareket kuramına dayanan ve Şiddet İçeren Aşırılığı Önleme (Countering Violent Extremism) adı altında hayata geçirilen bu strateji, toplumda ayrımcılık yarattığı gerekçesiyle Müslüman topluluklar ve sivil toplum kuruluşları tarafından ciddi eleştirilere uğramıştır. Bu makalenin amacı, söz konusu programların ne derecede başarılı olduğunu bulmaktır. Çalışmanın temel argümanı, resmi iddiaların aksine, bu programların net bir tanımının yapılamaması, sürdürülebilir ve ölçülebilir olmamaları ve merkezi olmayan yapıları nedeniyle başarısız olduğudur. Barack Obama Yönetimi dönemine odaklanan araşırma, devlet belgelerinin ve ikincil kaynakların toplanması ve incelenmesi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bir ülkede devlet aracılığıyla topluma kamusal mal ve hizmetlerin sunumu kamu gelirlerinin toplanmalarına ve toplanan kamu gelirleriyle kamu harcamalarının yapılmalarına olanak sağlayan yegâne belge, aynı zamanda bir nevi kanun ve süreç olan kamu bütçesi ile mümkün olmaktadır. Kamu bütçesi temelde dört farklı aşamadan meydana gelmektedir. Demokrasi ile yönetilen ülkelerde bütçenin hazırlanma aşamasında yürütme organı, onaylanma aşamasında yasama organı görev yapmaktadır. Yasama ve yürütme organında görevli aktörler ve söz konusu aktörlerin rolleri benimsenen hükümet sistemine göre farklılık göstermektedir. Bu durumdan hareketle çalışmada Türkiye’de yakın geçmişte gerçekleşen hükümet sistemi değişikliğinin bütçe süreci üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda Türkiye’de daha önce uygulanan parlamenter hükümet sistemi ile günümüzde uygulanmakta olan Cumhurbaşkanlığı Hükümet Sistemi, önce kısa bir şekilde yönetimsel kapsamda, daha sonra bütçe süreci kapsamında karşılaştırılmıştır. Parlamenter hükümet sisteminde yasama ile yürütme arasındaki kuvvetler ayrılığının yumuşak, Cumhurbaşkanlığı Hükümet Sistemi’nde ise sert olmasının sonucu olarak her iki hükümet sisteminin de bütçe görüşmeleri esnasında sistemsel bazı sakıncaları olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu kapsamda günümüz itibariyle Türkiye’de uygulanmakta olan Cumhurbaşkanlığı Hükümet Sistemi’nin yol açabileceği sistemsel tıkanıklar karşısında geçici bütçe uygulamasının meclisten geçemeyeceği durum göz önünde bulundurularak önceki yıl bütçesinin yeniden değerleme oranı nispetinde artırılmak suretiyle uygulanmasına yönelik alınan tedbire dikkat çekilmiştir.

KALICI MİSAFİR: MARCEL COHEN'İN KAYIP BİR LADİNO'NUN İZİNDE'SİNDE BELLEK VE KİMLİK
Authors: DOLCEROCCA Özen Nergis
Published: March 2020

Bu çalışma Fransız yazar Marcel Cohen’in 1985 yılında Madrid’te Ladino dilinde yayınlanan Kayıp Bir Ladino'nun İzinde adlı eserindeki bellek ve kimlik öğelerinin yapıbozumcu bir yaklaşımla inceler. Cohen’in metni Sefarad Yahudilerinin kolektif kimliğini 1492'de İspanya'dan sürülmelerinden Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun yükselişi ve düşüşüne, oradan günümüz Fransa'sına uzanan geniş bir tarihsel bağlam içinde ele alırken, sürgün, çokdillilik, azınlık statüsü, asimilasyon ve yerinden edilme gibi soruları da bir araya getirir. Cohen'in Kayıp Ladino'yu yazmaktaki temel kaygısı, Sefarad toplumunun kayıp dünyasını yeniden inşa etmektir. Bunu, çocukluğunda kalan ve neredeyse ulaşılmaz Ladino dilini kullanarak, Sefarad gelenekleri ve kültürel tarihinden bahsederek, araya Ladino şiir ve şarkıları ekleyerek, anımsayarak ve hayal ederek yapar. Bu çalışma yapıbozumcu eksende metni yeniden değerlendirerek, metnin geleneksel bir diyaspora anlatısının yapacağından daha fazlasını sunduğunu savunur. Dilbilimsel ve metinsel boşluklar, sürçmeler, kararsızlıklar ve tutarsızlıklar anlatıda merkezî bir çatışmaya işaret eder. Bu çatışma, yuvayı etrafı güvenli bir şekilde çevrilmiş ve sabit bir mevcudiyet olarak hayal etmek ile, onun aslında istikrarsızlaşmış ve sarsılmış doğasını, ve ona kavuşmanın geçiciliğini kabul etmek arasındadır. Metnin söyleşimsel (dialogic) doğası, Cohen'in köklerin ve yuvanın kaybına ve çözülmesine yaptığı vurguya meydan okur, belleğin ve benliğin farklı konfigürasyonlarını hayal eder.Anahtar Kelimler: Marcel Cohen, Sefarad, Ladino, Edebiyatta Travma, Edebiyatta Hafıza.

The total number of schoolchildren involved in the experiment was: 6-10 years old – 465 (240 boys and 225 girls); 11-13 years old – 430 schoolchildren (205 boys and 225 girls); 14-16 years old – 221 schoolchildren (122 boys and 99 girls). To achieve the purpose set, the following research methods were used: modeling, systems approach, methods of theoretical analysis and generalization; pedagogical testing, methods of recording the respiratory system state, observation and pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical analysis (logistic and asymptotic functions); mathematical methods of planning multifactorial experiments. Factor, discriminant, and regression analyses were performed.

Results. The research program of modeling schoolchildren’s physical education includes the development of factor, discriminant, and regression models to obtain new information for planning and managing the processes of teaching physical exercises, motor abilities development, and pedagogical control in schoolchildren’s physical education.

Conclusions. Modeling is an effective tool for studying the regularities of motor training and for developing physical education programs for children and adolescents. In the program of modeling schoolchildren’s physical education, initial data, study object, research methods must meet the following conditions: parametrical description (formulation of tasks, consideration of physical components, analysis of coefficients); initial data (information potential, reliability, accuracy, quantity); methods (similarity, accuracy, implementation time, coincidence with control criteria).

The study objective was to substantiate the modes of alternation of physical exercises and rest intervals when teaching series of tasks aimed at motor skills development in boys aged 15 years.
Materials and methods. The participants in the study were 40 boys aged 15. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. To achieve the objective set, the following research methods were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation, timing of training tasks; pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, methods of mathematical experiment planning. During training, the method of algorithmic instructions was used.
Results. The study found that the effectiveness of mastering series of training tasks depends on a mode of alternation of exercises and rest intervals. The results of analysis of variance and regression models show that the optimal mode of performing series of training tasks is within the range of 6-12 exercise repetitions with rest intervals of 60-120 sesonds. In the proposed matrix of factorial design, the selected step of factor variation is sufficient to study the impact of different modes of physical exercises on the effectiveness of teaching children and adolescents.
Conclusions. The best options for teaching series of tasks to boys aged 15 during physical education classes are the following: series 1 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 60–120 s; series 2 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 120 s; series 3 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 120 s; series 4 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 120 s; series 5 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 60 s; series 6 – 12 repetitions, rest interval of 60 s.

Authors: Tkachenko Mykyta
Published: March 2020

The study purpose was to determine the impact of physical education classes on the dynamics of motor fitness of 5th-6th grade students.

Materials and methods. The study participants were 17 5th grade boys and 17 6th grade boys. The study used the following methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing and methods of mathematical statistics for processing the study results. Thematic planning of educational work was carried out based on the updated physical education curriculum for 5th-9th grades of general educational institutions.

Results. There are statistically significant changes in the 5th grade boys’ results of educational standards: Test 2 “Shuttle run 4×9 m (sec)” and Test 4 “Standing long jump (cm)” (p < 0.05). The results in Test 2 improve by 6.2 %, in Test 4 by 7.1 %. There are statistically significant changes in the 6th grade boys’ results of educational standards: Test 2 “Shuttle run 4×9 m (sec)” (p < 0.1) and Test 4 “Standing long jump (cm)” (p < 0.05). The results in Test 2 improve by 4.4 %, in Test 4 by 12.9 %.

Conclusions. Discriminant analysis revealed that by the multivariate mean the boys’ motor fitness at the beginning and end of the school year is classified as two different states. This indicates a positive impact of physical education classes on the dynamics of motor fitness of 5th and 6th grade boys.The level of schoolchildren’s motor fitness depends on coordination and speed-strength training carried out during physical education classes.

Treballar les arrels per llançar-se a la vida. Per mitjà de la construcció d’un lapbook explorem amb pinzellades qui som, amb el treball del nom per conèixer millor la nostra targeta de presentació; dissenyem un genograma i un fotograma per endinsar-nos en el nostre sistema familiar i descobrir d’on venim, i finalment modelem la nostra línia de la vida, cap on anem, per aixecar el vol cap al nostre futur. Tot amb la mirada amorosa cap a la nostra família. Al final fem un ritual amb les famílies per esculpir l’última part del treball i tancar aquest curs del cicle (1r) i encaminar-nos cap al següent (2n).

Els resultats de l’aplicació d’aquests projectes evidencien una millora en les relacions personals de confiança i respecte entre les famílies i els docents, i això es reflecteix en l’èxit dels nostres alumnes.
Amb la música al cor i al cos
Authors: Duran Salvadó Cristina
Published: March 2020

Presentació del taller “Amb la música al cor i al cos”, adreçat a mestres i professors que vulguin fer un procés de creixement personal, sabedors que sense aquest procés personal no poden fer canvis substancials en la seva manera d’entendre l’educació. La música i l’expressió corporal són el camí i l’excusa per treballar les emocions i ser més conscients de la importància que aquestes tenen en l’aprenentatge dels alumnes. La base racional és encara tan forta en el sistema educatiu actual que el cos i les emocions no tenen cabuda a les aules. Cal que mestres i professors en siguin conscients per aconseguir un sistema educatiu que tracti els alumnes en la seva globalitat (cos-cor-ment).

El nivell de comprensió lectora entre els estudiants de l’ESO al nostre país és especialment baix, com es constata a partir dels resultats de l’informe PISA i d’altres proves de rendiment acadèmic establertes per l’Administració. Moltes investigacions interdisciplinàries vinculen aspectes musicals amb l’aprenentatge de les llengües i amb les habilitats per a la lectura en educació primària i secundària i posen en relleu el gran poder formatiu, socialitzador, mnemònic, motivacional i emocional de la música en aquestes edats. El poder emocional de la música permet la creació d’ambients sonors proclius a la lectura. La revisió bibliogràfica d’aquestes aportacions apunta possibilitats per investigar com la motivació a la lectura és un dels aspectes fonamentals que es pot propiciar des de l’educació musical a secundària.

Matematitzar el món que ens envolta és un dels eixos centrals de l’educació matemàtica realista. Aquest procés passa per diversos nivells de comprensió. David Webb, amb el model de l’iceberg, il·lustra tota la gamma d’estratègies informals i preformals que es poden emprar per arribar al nivell formal, i que donen sentit a aquesta notació convencional. En aquest treball em proposo estudiar les resolucions de 4 situacions-problema per conèixer les estratègies més utilitzades i quines han resultat més eficaces.
