Le riflessioni di Albertino Mussato sulla poesia nelle Epistole scientifico-erudite
Authors: Lombardo Luca
Published: April 2021

Among the twenty metric Epistles ascribable to Albertino Mussato, a line of scientific texts can be recognised, arising from the occasion of curious natural events that had caught the erudite interest of the Paduan poet or some of his contemporary interlocutors. These five epistles, although drawing inspiration from unusual physical-natural or astronomical phenomena and starting from an occasional pretext, very often open to topics other than the main one: these simple curiosities, as a matter of fact, are the starting point for digressions around the themes that were most traditionally dear to humanistic disputes on poetry, triggering metaliterary considerations by the poet, who exposes and defends his own conception of poetic art on the basis of the model of the ancient poets, of whom he aims to retrace the footsteps with humanistic fidelity. Thus, it may happen to find arguments traditionally developed in the epistles in defence of the veracity of poetry even among the unsuspected zoological ruminations to which the epistle on the birth of a lioness, intended for the Venetian grammar master Giovanni Cassio, is dedicated, or to find programmatic declarations of poetics within an epistle on astronomical questions solicited by a curious Dominican friar from the convent of Sant’Agostino in Padua.
The Impact of a Patient Safety Program on Medical Error Reporting
Authors: Woolever Donald R.
Published: April 2021

Background: In response to the occurrence of a sentinel event—a medical error with serious consequences—Eglin U.S. Air Force (USAF) Regional Hospital developed and implemented a patient safety program called Medical Team Management (MTM) that was modeled on the aviation industry’s Crew Resource Management program and focused on communication, teamwork, and reporting.

Objective: To determine the impact of a patient safety program on patterns of medical error reporting.

Methods: This study was a retrospective review of 1,102 incident reports filed at Eglin USAF Regional Hospital in Florida between 1997 and 2001. Collected data from the comparison periods (1998 and 2001) was statistically analyzed using the chi-square test.

Results: The number of reports submitted increased significantly from 200 for 4,671 hospital admissions in 1998 to 276 for 4,003 admissions in 2001 (chi-squared = 28.38, P < 0.0001). Evaluation of incident severity showed 172 (86 percent) near misses (no impact on patient) in 1998 and 251 (91 percent) in 2001. In 1998, there were 28 (14 percent) adverse events (patient minimally effected) and 25 (9 percent) in 2001 (chi-squared = 3.302, P = 0.069). Analysis by rank of person filing the report revealed 39 reports submitted by junior nurses and 11 submitted by junior enlisted personnel in 1998, while in 2001 those numbers increased to 75 and 24 reports, respectively (chi-squared = 6.554, P = 0.161).

Conclusion: This study indicates that, since the implementation of MTM, there has been a statistically significant increase in the number of reports filed at Eglin USAF Regional Hospital. Similarly, the severity of incidents shows an overall decline approaching statistical significance. Although there was an increase in reporting from junior team members, this was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that there have been changes in the patterns of error reporting since the implementation of MTM.
“Near-Miss” Reporting System Development and Implications for Human Subjects Protection
Authors: Murff Harvey J. , Byrne Daniel W. , Harris Paul A. , France Daniel J. , Hedstrom Christa , Dittus Robert S.
Published: April 2021

Background: Reviews of recent research-related fatalities have demonstrated clinical research system failures likely contributed to the event. Current research safety-reporting mechanisms focus on individual protocols and are therefore less likely to detect system-level failures. Methods: We have implemented the “near-miss” reporting system for a general clinical research center to detect latent failure within the research environment. Results: An identified research-related near miss includes a research volunteer being mistakenly directed into an incorrect protocol. Before beginning the incorrect study, the participant recognized the protocol did not coincide with the consent document and the error was detected without harm. Lack of both reliable research-participant tracking and verification programs was believed to be an important latent failure associated with the research unit. Discussion: Collecting research unit-specific information on potential safety concerns could identify system failures that might not be identifiable through traditional human subjects protection programs.

The phenomenon of international conflict that occurred after the Cold War opens the United Nations' opportunity to play a more significant role in maintaining international peace and security. UN peacekeeping operations are one form of response to the challenges that arise at this time. This operation is a multidimensional operation that includes peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding activities. The complexity of the conflict in Sierra Leone, West Africa, in the early 90s was caused by poor governance and illegal exploitation of diamonds, resulting in large numbers of civilian casualties and various other problems, such as rising poverty and unemployment increasing numbers of refugees. Given the Sierra Leonean government’s powerlessness in resolving the conflict, the UN, about international organizations, intervened in restoring and achieving peace. In this article, the author tries to analyze the role of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone to resolve Sierra Leone’s internal conflicts in 1994-2005, with activities as a mediator for the warring parties and sending peacekeeping forces in the country. This paper is based on the author’s experience as a Military Observer at Unamsil and literature studies. The U.N./Unamsil played a significant role in resolving the conflict there. This needs to be known and informed to the general public and the military to understand the United Nations’ role better.

Published: April 2021

The dairy industry is one of the most important components of the world food system, and is undergoing dramatic change at the current time. It is highly probable that within ten years, the global dairy industry will be scarcely recognizable from its current form. So, attitudinal changes of consumers also vary in the past 2 decades. Attitude of the consumers will continuously change owing to the technological research and innovation in the dairy industry. So, this research emerged and aimed to examine the consumer attitude towards dairy products in Erode district of Tamilnadu, India. Because Erode district shows its more involvement in agriculture along with dairy products. The researcher has selected 132 consumers who have using the dairy products in different way of usage like milk, butter, butter milk, ghee, palkova, etc. The changes in their attitude would find from a structured questionnaire which consists of demographic and usage of dairy products, and their attitude on dairy products. The collected data were subdued into tables and charts with the help of MS-excel and SPSS 22.0. This research has found the results as most of the respondents were urban area consumers of dairy products, purchasing frequently Aavin products and they were using dairy products for 5 to 10 years in the study area.

Authors: Ankit Kumar  , Anil Kumar Kapil
Published: April 2021

The district of Muzaffarnagar is the highest sugarcane producing district in Uttar Pradesh and therefore is an important industrial district as well. The district is part of Western UP and it shares the problems of the sugar industry elsewhere in the state: unpredictable demands and crop failures. In this context, predicting sugarcane demand and informing its production can turn to be just the key to solve some of the problems the industry faces.

The existing crop forecasting method for the cultivation of sugarcane used in UP relies, to a large degree, on subjective details, centred on the expertise of engineers in the sugar and alcohol field and on information on input demand in the supply chain. The measurement of the utility of the sample detection using NDVI images from the SPOT sensor used in the sensor's determination over the ECMWF model was possible to infer the official productivity data reported in the previously selected municipalities and harvest. Significant features of the municipal productivity of a given village is listed in a decision tree, and out of the combinations of attributes the corresponding municipal productivity is rated as "Normal" on the average urban productivity scale. Using data from the NDVI time-series between 2013 to 2020, we can discern the three classes of productivity in the meanwhile. Findings indicate that productivity in January ranked as less than mean, mean, and more than mean. The findings were more successful for the class Vegetation, the participants of which were permitted to conclude about the pattern of the average federal productivity prior to.

Authors: Rajan D  , Dr. M. Kranti Kumar  , Dr. S. Ramesh
Published: April 2021

Globally, the construction industry is one of the most environmentally catastrophic industries, with a significant effect on the raw materials usage, their commitment of use throughout their whole life cycle, and the atmosphere in which they work. Between 1950 and 2010, global average material consumption rose from 5.0 t to 10.3 ton per capita per year, owing to population growth, industrialization, and increased socio-economic strength. Moreover, this industry uses 35% of produced energy and releases 40% of carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. One hundred fifty million tons of CDW is made in India according to the BMPTC, and less than 1% is reutilized properly added to that the 55% of total solid waste in India are from the construction industry. The waste produced during the demolition can be well utilized if managed and appropriately recovered, which directly reduces the virgin raw material usage in the new construction, decreasing the amount ending in the landfill. This study aims to understand the strategies and technology for material recovery after the building's life. The literature review will be taken up to list the different strategy in practice for material recovery. The techniques for material recovery are discussed to understand more in detail.  This research helps find the other methods for material recovery and equipment and technology during the demolition and reconstruction of the RCC framed structure. The bottlenecks in the adoption of the various strategy are studied in this research.

The tourism and hospitality industry is struggling with the issue of attracting and retaining quality educated employees. It has led to a shortage of skilled personnel to staff the growing tourism and hospitality businesses, after the COVID 19 Pandemic. The job turnover rate in the tourism and hospitality sector rose due to the contemporary situation in the world. Especially, the promogulated lockdown and travel ban adversely affected the job security of the employees in the tourism and hospitality sector. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the effect of undergraduates’ perception on career selection in tourism and hospitality industry. A total of 120 undergraduates representing three state universities were selected using stratified sampling method for this study. Primary data was collected via structured questionnaire. Quantitative data analysis methods along with the descriptive, correlation and multiple regressions were utilized to analyze the data using SPSS. Results confirmed that personal factors, educational factors and industrial factors impact on the willingness of career selection in tourism and hospitality industry. Moreover, personal factors are most influential to the career selection of undergraduates. Thus, Universities must enhance the opportunities for practical exposures, attitude development, sign memorandum of understanding, updating curriculum to shape the undergraduate perceptions.

Firm performance is fundamental to businesses considering its role in assisting organisations to realize their goals and achieve successes. Consumer goods manufacturing industry in Nigeria are experiencing decline in performance like profitability, market share, sales growth, competitive advantage, and productivity resulting from poor application of entrepreneurial orientation measures. This study examined the interaction between entrepreneurial orientation and market share of selected quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria.The study adopted cross sectional survey research design. The population of the study was 1,551of twelve (12) quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Total enumeration was used to sample the entire population. A self-developed structured and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The Cronbach’s alpha ranges between 0.721 and 0.892. The response rate was 90.5%. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Multiple and Hierarchical regression analysis).Findings revealed that entrepreneurial orientation components had significant influence on market share of selected quoted consumer goods companies in Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.791; F (5,441) = 339.129, p= 0.000). The study concluded that  entrepreneurial orientation (innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, proactiveness, risk-taking and planning flexibility) had significant effect on market share of selected quoted consumer goods companies in Nigeria and recommended that managers of selected quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies should practice entrepreneurial orientation ideologies to be able to be proactive and competitive enough to further boost the market portion of quoted consumer goods companies.
ДЕЯКІ НОТАТКИ ЩОДО ВВЕДЕННЯ В КУРСІ МАТЕМАТИКИ 5 КЛАСУ АЛГЕБРАЇЧНОГО МЕТОДУ РОЗВ’ЯЗУВАННЯ ТЕКСТОВИХ ЗАДАЧ
Authors: Яковлєва О. , Каплун В. , Анісімова Т.
Published: April 2021

Формулювання проблеми. Характеризуючи навчальний зміст курсу математики 5-9 класів, можна стверджувати, що текстові задачі займають в ньому істотне місце. Основними методами розв’язування текстових задач в 5-му класі є арифметичний та алгебраїчний методи. В статті розглядається співвідношення в шкільному курсі математики 5 класу арифметичного та алгебраїчного методів, їх ролі в розвитку мислення учнів та відповідний зміст підручників математики 5 класу.

Матеріали та методи. Використано методи аналізу, синтезу, порівняння, опису одержаних результатів дослідження, узагальнення. Застосовано теоретичні методи дослідження, по’вязані з аналізом чинних навчальних програм з математики, підручників математики 5-го класу, відповідних інформаційних джерел.  Узагальнено власний педагогічний досвід та спостереження.

Результати. У статті  обговорюються основні методи розв’язування текстових задач в курсі  математики 5-го класу. Зазначено, що розвиток формування вмінь розв’язувати текстові задачі переходить від арифметичного методу у початковій школі до переважно алгебраїчного методу у 5-му класі основної школи. З’ясовано, що в підручниках 5-го класу введення алгебраїчного методу  розв’язування задач істотно відрізняється.

Висновки. Виходячи з власного досвіду, обговорень з вчителями математики вищезазначених питань, можемо стверджувати, що спроби одразу і повністю переключити  учнів 5-го класу на алгебраїчний метод розв’язування задач вдаються невдалими. Формування в учня 5-го класу навичок роботи з алгебраїчним методом є довгим та трудомістким процесом як для учня, так і для вчителя. Між арифметичним та алгебраїчним методом розв’язування задач потрібно проводити паралелі, щоб учні не вважали ці методи відірваними один від одного. Вважаємо, що у 5-6 класах потрібно обов’язково продовжувати розв’язувати задачі обома методами.

Regionalization of Emergency Care Conditions: Classifications, Comparisons, and Considerations
Authors: Walton Nathan , Mohr Nicholas
Published: April 2021

Background: Regionalization is a system of organizing hospitals and providers to optimize care by matching patient needs with the appropriate healthcare resources. Regionalized care has been shown to improve outcomes in trauma, burn, stroke, STEMI, cardiac arrest, and NICU/OB care.Methods: This study was a comprehensive literature review to develop a classification- based, comparative review of existing regionalized systems of care by their components and characteristics. We performed a text-based analysis of the writing of the involved organizations (professional, regulatory, etc.) and interviews with the organizational leaders directly involved with regionalized systems of care. The scope of the review was three-fold: (1) to provide a summation of the available literature and established models of regionalized emergency care, (2) to identify the common core components of regionalized systems, and (3) to apply lessons about regional networks to sepsis care.Results: Regionalization in the US has followed a predictable pattern of development. Systems center on the delivery of time- or volume-sensitive care that is limited due to scarcity of resources, available facilities, or expertise. In response to perceived differential quality or inefficiency, professional organizations have published clinical guidelines and suggested regionalized tiered systems of facilities by resources and expectations of participation. These guidelines are used by government or third party certifying organizations to apply criteria to participating facilities. These efforts have been effective in establishing regionalized networks characterized by eight core components: triage/transfer protocols, resource-stratified networks, prevention/outreach/education, emergency preparedness, rehabilitation, internal/benchmarked data registries, performance improvement, and research.Conclusions: Several national models for regionalized systems of care are gaining traction and improving outcomes within the United States’ healthcare delivery system. Insights from this process hold promise to improve existing systems and establish new ones, notably in sepsis.
Quantifying the Effects of Motivation on Listening Effort: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Carolan Peter , Heinrich Antje , Munro Kevin , Millman Rebecca
Published: April 2021

Motivation influences the amount of listening effort (LE) exerted or experienced under challenging conditions, such as in high-noise environments. This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to quantify the effects of motivation on LE. The review was pre-registered in PROSPERO, and performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Eligible studies examined the influence of motivation or individual traits (related to motivation) on LE in adults. Motivational factors, coded as independent variables, included financial reward, evaluative threat, perceived competence, feedback and individual traits. LE outcomes were categorised as subjective, behavioural or physiological. The quality of evidence was assessed using an adaptation of the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool. Nested random-effects meta-analyses were performed to quantify and compare the influence of motivational factors across LE outcomes. After assessing 3532 records, 48 studies met the inclusion criteria and 43 were included in the meta-analyses. Risk of bias was high e.g. many studies lacked sample size justification. Motivational factors had a small-to-medium effect (mean Cohen’s d = 0.34, range: 0.11 – 0.72) on LE. When LE outcomes were considered collectively, an external manipulation of motivation (perceived competence) produced a larger mean effect size compared with individual traits. Some combinations of motivational factors and LE outcomes produced more robust effects than others, e.g. evaluative threat and subjective LE outcomes. Although wide prediction intervals and high risk of bias mean that significant positive effects cannot be guaranteed, these findings provide useful guidance on the selection of motivational factors and LE outcomes for future research.

Lights, Cameras (on), Action! Camera Usage During Zoom Classes Facilitates Engagement Without Increasing Fatigue
Authors: Epstein-Shuman Adam , Kushlev Kostadin
Published: April 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered how most in-person institutions approached teaching, forcing many universities to rely on video platforms like Zoom to hold classes. In light of this shift, and in an attempt to improve experiences in online classes, we explored whether students’ camera usage during online lectures would affect their engagement and fatigue. For a little over a month, 65 Georgetown University students were randomly assigned to have their cameras on or off for the duration of an online lecture. Our analyses revealed that when students had their cameras on, they were significantly more engaged, but no more fatigued, than when they had their cameras off. These results lay the groundwork for future exploration into maximizing the potential of Zoom-based online learning
Dream interpretation from a cognitive and cultural evolutionary perspective: the case of oneiromancy in traditional China
Authors: Hong Ze
Published: April 2021

Why did people across the world and throughout history believe that dreams can foretell what will occur in the future? In this paper, I attempt to answer this question within a cultural evolutionary framework by emphasizing the cognitive aspect of dream interpretation; namely, the fact that dreams were often viewed as significant and interpretable has to do with various psychological and social factors that influence how people obtain and process information regarding the validity of dream interpretation as a technique. Through a comprehensive analysis of a large dataset of dream occurrences in the official Chinese historical records, I argue that the ubiquity and persistence of dream interpretation have both a theoretical component (supernatural worldview) and an empirical component (predictively accurate dream cases) which is particularly vulnerable to transmission errors and biases. The overwhelmingly successful records of dream prediction in transmitted texts, I suggest, is largely due to the fabrication and retrospective inference of past dreams, as well as the under-reporting of predictive failures. These “positive data” then reinforce individuals’ confidence in the predictive power of dreams. I finally show a potential decline of the popularity of dream interpretation in traditional China and offer a few suggestive explanations drawing on the unique characteristics of oneiromancy compared to other divination techniques.
Social Class Identity Integration and Success for First-Generation College Students: Antecedents, Mechanisms, and Generalizability
Authors: Herrmann Sarah , Varnum Michael E. W. , Straka Brenda , Gaither Sarah
Published: April 2021

Past research has investigated challenges first-generation college students face, but has overlooked the role that acculturation to college may play. Social class bicultural identity integration research demonstrates that integrated social class identities are linked with better health, well-being, and academic performance among first-generation students. Here, we build on the identity integration framework, demonstrating that exposure to college graduates in students’ home neighborhoods before college is positively related to higher social class bicultural identity integration (Study 1), that the effect of identity integration on academic performance is mediated by academic self-efficacy (Study 2), and that the effects of identity integration on acculturative stress, life satisfaction, and overall health outcomes observed at a large public university replicated at selective, private universities (Study 3). This suggests that the identity integration framework is a useful theoretical lens to conceptualize and predict health and performance outcomes for first-generation students.
Movement behaviours and mental wellbeing: A cross-sectional isotemporal substitution analysis of Canadian adolescents
Authors: Brown Denver M. Y. , Kwan Matthew
Published: April 2021

Background: Studies have shown reallocating screen time for healthy movement behaviours such as physical activity and sleep can provide important benefits for mental health. However, the focus on positive aspects of mental health such as wellbeing has received limited attention, particularly among adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reallocating physical activity, screen time, and sleep on mental wellbeing in adolescents. Methods: This study involved cross-sectional analysis of data from Wave 1 of the ADAPT study. A total of 1,118 Canadian adolescents enrolled in grade 11 classes (Mage = 15.92; 54.5% female) self-reported their movement behaviours using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form to assess moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and daily recall questionnaires to assess recreational screen time and sleep. Participants also completed three measures of mental wellbeing: the Flourishing Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a brief Resiliency scale from the Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey. Results: Isotemporal substitution analysis revealed replacing 60 minutes of screen time with either moderate-to-vigorous physical activity or sleep has significant benefits for mental wellbeing. Comparatively, reallocating 60 minutes between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sleep does not impact mental wellbeing. Discussion: Findings suggest healthy movement behaviours confer similar beneficial effects for adolescent’s mental wellbeing. Health promotion campaigns targeted towards adolescents should consider highlighting that reallocation of screen time to either sleep or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity may provide important benefits for mental wellbeing.
Anemia fetal, diagnóstico y manejo actual
Authors: Huertas Tacchino Erasmo
Published: April 2021

La anemia fetal es una condición poco frecuente en nuestro medio, pero potencialmente letal para el feto, si no se diagnostica y maneja oportunamente. Las causas son diversas, desde autoinmunes (isoinmunización Rh) a infecciosas (parvovirus B19), hemogobinopatías, hemorragia feto materna y complicaciones del embarazo monocoriónico. El diagnóstico puede ser por métodos invasivos (cordocentesis) o no invasivos (pico de velocidad sistólica de la arteria cerebral media – PVS-ACM), aunque se prefiere los últimos. El tratamiento consiste en la transfusión intrauterina, la cual permite sobrevida hasta en 90% de casos, sin secuelas neurológicas. El presente artículo revisa aspectos acerca de la definición, clasificación, causas, diagnóstico y manejo actualizado de la anemia fetal.
Embarazo ectópico cervical: serie de casos y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Cruz-Orozco Oliver Paúl , Sepúlveda-Rivera Cintia María , Mora-Galván Jessica Aidée , Ruiz-Beltrán Arturo Maximiliano
Published: April 2021

Objetivo. Describir una serie de casos de nueve pacientes con diagnóstico de embarazo ectópico cervical atendidas. Metodología. Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo, con revisión del expediente clínico de nueve casos consecutivos de mujeres con diagnóstico de embarazo ectópico cervical entre enero 2011 y junio 2018, en el Instituto Nacional de Perinatología de Ciudad de México. Resultados. Se halló un total de 448 embarazos ectópicos, que representaron 2,2% del total de embarazos, de los cuales, 9 (2% de los ectópicos) resultaron cervicales. Clínicamente, 5 pacientes presentaron sangrado transvaginal, 3 cursaron con dolor cólico y 2 estuvieron asintomáticas. La edad gestacional promedio fue 7,5 semanas. El diagnóstico de embarazo cervical fue mediante ultrasonografía de segunda dimensión. Con respecto al tratamiento, a 8 de las 9 pacientes se les ofreció inicialmente tratamiento farmacológico; solamente dos de las pacientes mostraron resolución de la hCG (gonadotropina coriónica humana) con la terapia farmacológica; el resto requirió alguna intervención quirúrgica. Se logró tratamiento preservador de la fertilidad en 5 pacientes. Conclusiones. El embarazo ectópico cervical es un factor de riesgo de morbilidad materna extrema. Puede presentarse con hemorragia masiva inesperada, que comúnmente conduce a la histerectomía e incluso a la muerte. Actualmente no existe un algoritmo universal de tratamiento; se realiza de forma regional y no estandarizada y, en muchos casos, no se contempla la preservación de la fertilidad. Se requiere estudios prospectivos para poder emitir una recomendación sobre el manejo de este grupo de pacientes.
Neurilemoma pélvico benigno degenerado. Reporte de caso

Published: April 2021

Los neurilemomas son tumores raros y benignos derivados de la vaina nerviosa periférica, compuesto por la proliferación de las células de Schwann perineurales con un patrón característico. Generalmente son benignos, de crecimiento lento y, con frecuencia, se les detecta de forma incidental o con síntomas locales secundarios a compresión de órganos vecinos. Estos tumores solitarios se localizan principalmente en cabeza y cuello, a menudo a lo largo del trayecto de los nervios y son particularmente raros entre los tumores retroperitoneales y de la pelvis. Los tumores pélvicos representan menos del 1% de todos los casos, pudiendo alcanzar grandes dimensiones. El neurilemoma degenerado o antiguo presenta características degenerativas típicas secundarias al envejecimiento y disminución de la vascularización. Todas estas características pueden llevar a la interpretación errónea y confundirlo con una lesión maligna. Los tumores están bien encapsulados y las recurrencias después de una escisión quirúrgica completa son poco frecuentes. La escisión quirúrgica conlleva el riesgo potencial de lesión neurológica. Presentamos un caso de neurilemoma pélvico benigno degenerado.

La hemorragia posparto puede ser una afección potencialmente mortal. Se han descrito técnicas exitosas que utilizan suturas de compresión uterina para controlar la hemorragia postparto, en algunos casos utilizando una combinación de técnicas. Los procedimientos para reducir la pérdida sanguínea varían desde masaje uterino, tratamiento médico, taponamiento uterino e histerectomía. La sutura compresiva uterina, o técnica de B-Lynch, se ha propuesto para controlar la hemorragia posparto en aquellos casos de atonía uterina, preservando la fertilidad. Aunque el reporte de complicaciones de este procedimiento es escaso, se ha descrito la aparición de necrosis, piometra, rotura uterina y, más recientemente, invasión exagerada y anormal de la placenta (acretismo placentario) en el embarazo subsiguiente. En necesario informar a las pacientes sobre las complicaciones potenciales del procedimiento y la necesidad de seguimiento postoperatorio para confirmar la ausencia de complicaciones. Se presenta un caso de rotura uterina en el segundo trimestre por acretismo placentario en gestante con sutura compresiva uterina previa.
Pasos adelante y hacia atrás en la pandemia COVID-19

Han pasado 9 meses -tiempo como el que dura una gestación-, cuando tuvimos la comunicación proveniente de Wuhan, China, sobre una enfermedad viral ocasionada por el SARS-CoV-2, el día 31 de diciembre de 2019. Desde entonces, el virus ha invadido prácticamente todo el globo terráqueo. Se conoce ahora su morfología, genoma y su asidero selectivo al receptor de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina 2 (ACE2), abundante en el endotelio de arterias y venas, pero también en el epitelio del tracto respiratorio(1). Al ingresar al cuerpo humano y multiplicarse, ocasiona un síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda, seguido por shock cardiogénico, eventos tromboembólicos, afectación de bronquios, pulmones, sistema nervioso(2), riñones(3), sistema gastrointestinal(4), la mente(5), piel(6), entre otros. El niño parece infectarse poco, frecuentemente de manera asintomática, pero su carga viral puede contagiar a los adultos(7). El menor desarrollo de COVID-19 en los niños se asociaría a una menor cantidad de receptores ACE2 en su tracto respiratorio, alguna protección dada por los resfríos comunes, menores niveles de citoquinas inflamatorias, entre otros(8).

La mortalidad materna por COVID-19 es poco frecuente en países desarrollados, pero su asociación a otras complicaciones obstétricas aumenta el riesgo. Además, está asociada a muerte fetal. Las puérperas, tienen riesgo de trombosis que se incrementa con la coagulopatía por COVID-19. Las comorbilidades como obesidad, diabetes, hipertensión incrementan el riesgo de muerte asociada a COVID-19 y las gestantes en el tercer trimestre se complican más que en el primero, teniendo más riesgo que las mujeres no gestantes de ingresar a UCI y requerir ventilación mecánica. En este reporte, el accidente cerebrovascular isquémico y hemorrágico y la diabetes fueron las tres causas de muerte, todas en un contexto de óbito fetal, preeclampsia severa, eclampsia y/o síndrome HELLP.

El síndrome de teratoma creciente (STC) es una condición infrecuente en la que se evidencia aumento de tamaño de los tumores de células germinales o la aparición de nuevas lesiones, durante o después del tratamiento con quimioterapia. Lo más característico de este tumor es la presencia exclusiva de componentes de teratoma maduro, así como valores de marcadores tumorales que negativizan durante la quimioterapia, y se mantienen negativos durante el seguimiento. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 28 años con un tumor de ovario de células germinales mixtas sometida a cirugía y luego quimioterapia. Durante el seguimiento, desarrolló múltiples tumores pélvicos que correspondieron a teratomas maduros. En esta paciente, fue crucial identificar el síndrome de teratoma creciente para evitar tratamiento adicional con quimioterapia.

The productivity of chickens an industrial herd of egg cross “Hy-Line W-36” was investigated when kept for 44 weeks (from 18 to 62 weeks of age) in cage batteries of traditional designs, namely, in 6-tier domestic production (PA “TECHNA”) and 5-tiered from German manufacturers (“Big Dutchman” and “Salmet”). The experiment was conducted in an industrial complex for the production of eggs for laying hens of three groups, each of which was kept in a separate poultry house. In the poultry house for keeping chickens of the 1st group (area 2880.0 m2) the batteries of PA “TECHNA” consisted of 18,360 cages with an area of 0.385 m2. The area of poultry houses for keeping laying hens of the 2nd and 3rd groups was 2202.5 m2. In one of them (2 gr.) “Big Dutchman” batteries contained 9600 cells with an area of 0.372 m2, and in the other (3 gr.) – “Salmet” batteries consisted of 9406 cages with an area of 0.392 m2. When planting 10 laying hens in each cage, the initial density of their content in the 1st group was 26 birds/m2, in the 2nd – 26.9 birds/m2, in the 3rd – 25.5 birds/m2. At the beginning of the experiment, the number of layers in the 1st group (PA “TECHNA”) was 183600 birds, in the 2nd (“Big Dutchman”) – 96000 birds, in the 3rd (“Salmet”) – 94,080 birds. The highest safety at 62 weeks of life and egg production for the initial laying hen were in group 3 (94.9% and 251.4 eggs/birds), less – in group 2 (92.4% and 232.6 eggs/birds, P<0.001), and the smallest – in the 1st (91.8% and 226.3 eggs/birds, P<0.001). From 1 m2 of poultry house area, 14.4 thousand eggs were obtained in group 1, in the second – 10.1 thousand eggs, in the third – 10.7 thousand eggs. Egg mass was obtained, respectively, 940.6; 629.6 and 707.7 kg from 1m2 of poultry house area and 14.8; 14.4 and 16.6 kg per laying hen. Taking into account the costs and volumes of the obtained egg mass, the European index of egg production efficiency in the 1st group was 19.9 units, in the 2nd – 19.4 units, in the 3rd – 22.5 units. The necessity of carrying out one more additional experiment to clarify the efficiency of egg production when keeping layers in cage batteries with the same number of tiers of two manufacturers: the software PA “TEXHA” and “Big Dutchman” has been substantiated.
Formação e práticas decoloniais de professores formadores: contrariando o instituído
Authors: Nascimento de Mattos Sandra Maria , José Roberto Linhares
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar práticas docentes decoloniais de professores formadores que transgridem o que está instituído em suas salas de aula. Essas práticas envolvem o encontro cultural com suas variadas possibilidades para promover o ensino e a aprendizagem significativa dos alunos. A formação inicial e continuada tem participação nessa modificação de olhar e influem diretamente na prática docente, quando esses professores, futuros ou atuantes, adquirem conhecimentos sobre determinadas maneiras, tais como a etnomatemática, para auxiliar a sua prática docente. É o desenvolvimento, de certa forma, da insubordinação criativa, maneiras de insurgências que contribuem para refletir sobre a estruturação da colonialidade do poder, do ser e do saber. A metodologia utilizada foi tipo etnográfica com imersão in lócus e realização de rodas de conversa, resultando em experiências enriquecedoras. A pesquisa aponta que estratégias de ensino diversificadas promovem aprendizagens mais eficazes e modificam a atuação dos professores.
