Authors: Shariat Mamak , Abedinia Nasrin , Charousaei Hasti , Fatahi Fatemeh
Published: December 2022

Objective: This study aimed to investigate and identify the psychosocial factors that are associated with paternal postpartum depression.
Materials and methods: A longitudinal correlation study with 150 fathers was performed with three time frames (late pregnancy, postpartum, and four weeks postpartum). The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale assessed those with depression (38.7%; n=58) and those without depressive symptoms (61.3%; n=92). Psychological variables related to paternal depression were also assessed through questionnaires.
Results: Psychological variables such as marital adjustment and stress had a significant relationship with paternal depression. In addition, depressed fathers experienced less marital compatibility and more tension than non-depressed fathers.
Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of considering the psychosocial variables that affect paternal psychological health. Mental health professionals may be able to reduce mental disorders, stress, psychological distress, and marital maladjustment in fathers with appropriate psychological interventions.

Authors: Davari M.H , Salmani M , Gharavi M , PiriArdakani M
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Lead is a toxic metal that is found in the earth's crust and has been used by humans since 7000 years ago due to its density, malleability, high resistance and low melting point. The wide use of this metal in the industry, in addition to the exposure of workers, has led to widespread environmental pollution and public health problems in many parts of the world. Due to the widespread use of lead in various occupations and the importance of its complications, the treatment of workers with symptoms of exposure to this substance has been of particular importance in the occupational medicine and occupational health of countries, therefore, in this article, it was reviewed the approach to the symptoms caused by lead exposure inworkers with lead poisoning.
Materials and Methods: In this study, with the aim of investigating the available treatments to control complications caused by exposure to lead in the workplace, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus databases from 1980 to 2021, as well as CDC, ACOEM, OSHA, WHO and ATSDR guidelines with the method Thematic search was reviewed. The number of 19 articles and 5 instructions were selected and used in writing this article.
Results: The investigations showed that it is necessary to pay attention to different body systems and perform additional measures in case of suspicion of lead poisoning in periodical evaluations of those working in contact with lead.
Conclusion: In addition to the treatment of existing complications and chelatotherapy, the workers diagnosed with lead poisoning should be given the necessary training to reduce exposure to lead.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo traz reflexões desenvolvidas a partir de pesquisa qualitativa de cunho documental sobre a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) desde sua homologação aos desdobramentos para o processo de reelaboração dos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos das instituições de educação. Foram analisados os documentos da BNCC e o “Guia para os gestores: orientações para formação continuada e revisão do Projeto Pedagógico à luz dos novos currículos”, documento produzido pelo “Movimento Pela Base”. A análise documental e os dados coletados na pesquisa revelam um elevado contexto de mudanças na área das políticas públicas brasileiras e mundiais. Em breve análise de discurso bakhtiniana observa-se o uso de enunciados dirigidos à responsabilização dos gestores sobre as garantias de uma educação de qualidade e a exclusão do termo: “político”, dos projetos pedagógicos a ser elaborados nas instituições de educação. Evidencia-se, portanto, a necessidade de participação da comunidade escolar nas decisões que orientem os rumos dados à educação, a fim de que haja uma quebra de paradigma, no sentido de viabilizar a efetiva gestão democrática na escola.

Professoras em formação: uma abordagem bakhtiniana
Authors: Moura Liliane Corrêa Neves , Mello Marisol Barenco de
Published: December 2022

O ato responsável, proposição bakhtiniana para pensar uma outra ética, em confronto com a hegemônica, que tem base no dever abstrato, é o lugar central da vida, onde um centro de valor humano, ou seja, um humano eticamente posicionado, inclui em si necessariamente um outro. Essa ética, construída a partir de um olhar enviesado para arte, busca uma imagem de humano que não é una e última, mas ideológica, repleta de valores contraditórios, em disputa permanente, aberta, propensa ao futuro e tensamente transformadora das condições concretas que, no presente, configuram a vida. Bakhtin realizou estudo que buscou, na literatura, imagens que afigurassem abertura, inacabamento e dialogicidade no humano e no mundo. Nos romances de educação, ele encontrou sentidos axiológicos sobre formação, e os analisou nos aspectos do tempo, espaço e valor. Em pesquisa realizada no ano de 2019, durante a realização do curso de extensão FormAção em diálogo – pedagogias críticas a partir das práticas, organizado pelo grupo de Estudos Bakhtinianos ATOS-UFF, dialogamos com professoras e professores da educação básica sobre os sentidos filosóficos da formação e como as palavras que a designam revelam as forças ideológicas em disputa. Neste artigo, aproximamos os aportes do Círculo bakhtiniano da formação humana e da formação inicial da professora dos anos iniciais da educação básica, e trazemos uma proposta filosófica que pretende alargar as bases em que as práticas formativas são construídas.

Authors: Mira Marilia Marques , Romanowski Joana Paulin
Published: December 2022

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar as relações entre o processo de inserção profissional docente, a organização do trabalho pedagógico escolar e as indicações para programas de apoio à formação dos professores. O trabalho parte de um conceito ampliado de inserção à docência, na perspectiva apresentada por Oliveira e Cruz, diferenciando-se da iniciação à docência, e distingue os professores ingressantes a partir de suas experiências prévias na docência quando de sua inserção na escola. Dialoga com autores que tratam da inserção à docência, como Marcelo, Vaillant e Marcelo, Akkari e Tardif e outros. Os dados foram coletados por questionários e entrevistas, com professores ingressantes e gestores de escolas. A análise foi organizada considerando os processos de inserção profissional a partir de três dimensões: interação entre currículo, planejamento e avaliação; relação professor-aluno; implicações das ações de formação aos professores ingressantes no interior das escolas. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de proposições diferenciadas para os programas de apoio aos professores devido às experiências prévias dos ingressantes, das quais emergem as demandas para a formação docente diante da organização do trabalho pedagógico escolar.
A formação de educadores, uma crise tão profunda quanto a da sociedade
Authors: Jiménez Marco Raúl Mejía
Published: December 2022

Falar de formação atualmente é nos colocar em um cenário de grandes transformações tanto de época quanto de civilização, que repensam os sistemas de socialização construídos na cultura ocidental: política, família, religião e, claro, a escola, a qual vê como o projeto da quarta revolução industrial e um capitalismo cognitivo no comando transformam a ciência e o conhecimento em uma força produtiva, alterando radicalmente instituições educacionais e de pesquisa, transformando-as em campos privilegiados de controle para seus interesses. Ali, os múltiplos cenários de formação precisam ser transformados para explicar como o ser humano desse tempo é moldado, estabelecendo em todos os sistemas de mediações educacionais e pedagógicas um cenário de disputa, que também deve ser reformulado e reorganizado pelo pensamento crítico, sentido no qual este texto está inscrito, para abrir faixas de reflexão a partir do pensamento latino-americano e, especificamente, a partir da educação popular.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo a discussão sobre a pretensão da BNCC que, como documento orientador do currículo da Educação Básica, também reflete a respeito do conceito de formação integral, a qual viabilizaria o desenvolvimento do ser humano em suas dimensões física, intelectual, social e emocional. Assim, com o nosso olhar voltado às competências gerais da BNCC e, mais especificamente, a uma das habilidades ali apontadas, proposta pelo componente de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Fundamental (8º e 9º anos), e que tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento da empatia, nos posicionamos em favor da utilização do texto literário como abordagem de reflexão crítica em sala de aula. Para tal discussão, tomamos como motivador os textos do escritor Lima Barreto, por conter fatos relatados em tempos e contextos diferentes dos atuais, e que aludem, especialmente, à exclusão social e ao preconceito racial.
EFL instructors’ scaffolding strategies use in writing classrooms: The case of Wollega University
Authors: Gudina Nesibu , Wakuma Melaku
Published: December 2022

Second language acquisition is facilitated when teachers provide the necessary assistance for the learners through the process of scaffolding. The study aimed at identifying the scaffolding strategies EFL instructors use in writing classrooms at Wollega University. Six EFL teachers were video recorded while teaching writing to first-year students in Communicative English Skills II. The video-recorded data were transcribed and analyzed using Open code project software. Interview data were also used to strengthen the teachers’ classroom activities. The data from the interview were analyzed through narration according to specific themes. The result indicates that the instructors use scaffolding strategies like a questioning, explanation, inviting learners, repeating students’ utterances, praising learners, giving instruction, recasting, directing students’ thinking, giving feedback, use of L1, and others. Contrary to the use of scaffolding strategies, the misuse of the strategies has to be given attention to enhance its usage.

El diseño experimental fue en bloques completamente al azar con 3 repeticiones, los datos se analizaron con el software R Studio 2022.02, se realizaron pruebas no paramétricas (Kruskal-Wallis; Yuen) y comparación de medias con un análisis post-hoc de Kruskal-Wallis con un nivel de confianza del 95%. Se encontraron diferencias significativas (P<9e-5), donde el tratamiento de cormo + pseudotallo fue el que presento los mejores indicadores con un número de semanas acumuladas a cosecha de 28.40±0.35 y un peso de racimo de 24.3±0.19 kg.
Las preguntas como estrategia de andamio en la enseñanza
Authors: Navarro Roldán Claudia Patricia
Published: December 2022

Este libro de investigación, invita al lector a repensar las formas en las que se potencia el aprendizaje. Se presenta evidencia teórica y empírica para romper los paradigmas sobre el uso del lenguaje narrativo en la construcción del conocimiento científico e incentivar el uso de las preguntas en el aula, para propiciar el desarrollo holístico de las competencias en el estudiante, su lenguaje narrativo y el uso del conocimiento previo. La investigación narrativa presentada responde a la pregunta ¿cómo una estrategia de scaffolding (andamiaje) soportada a través de preguntas, cambia la narración histórica espontánea de estudiantes sobre la independencia de la nación, a nivel de su estructura, densidad, calidad del contenido y cohesión? Desde la postura histórico cultural del aprendizaje de Vygotsky (1995), se identifican los efectos positivos y negativos de la estrategia de andamiaje para el aprendizaje. Los hallazgos revelaron que, formular un set de preguntas abiertas, reflexivas y literales al estudiante sobre su propia producción narrativa, incluyendo el parafraseo para cuestionarlo y desafiarlo de forma contextualizada, ofrece la retroalimentación contingente que el estudiante necesita para ir más allá y enriquecer la narración histórica producida inicialmente, a nivel de su estructura, densidad, calidad y cohesión. Además, se analizaron las transformaciones cualitativas en la producción narrativa y la tipificación de los cambios en la red semántica construida.

Diagnosis and general approaches to the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Gubanov Dmitry S. , Gubanova Kseniya M.
Published: December 2022

We consider the causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the stages of its development with concomitant diseases, methods for its diagnosis and treatment. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a total chronic disease of the human respiratory system. The process of formation of pathological changes in the lungs is primarily associated with the impact of harmful chemicals – tobacco and smoke on the epithelium of the respiratory tract. The increase in life expectancy in recent decades allows most people to reach the age of high probability of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and related pathologies. According to various sources, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is in third or fourth place among the causes of death. The purpose of this review is to systematize practical methods for diagnosing and treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on an outpatient basis. Materials and methods. The research methods involve the systematization of materials describing the identified problem, the collection and classification of medical facts about it, the assessment of existing scientific and practical approaches to solving the problem under consideration. Results. The prognosis for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in terms of complete recovery and increased life expectancy is generally unfavorable. Therefore, it is important to take into account all the possibilities to eliminate any factors provoking deterioration of the condition, the patient's readiness for treatment, as well as the social and economic conditions of his residence. Conclusion. Treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is determined by the severity of the obstruction, symptoms, and the risk of exacerbation with escalation of therapy to control persistent symptoms or further exacerbations. The severity of an exacerbation varies according to the site of treatment: moderate exacerbations are treated on an outpatient basis with oral corticosteroids, antibiotics, or both, and severe exacerbations require hospitalization or emergency care.

Authors: Aillón Gómez Tania
Published: December 2022

Desde la aproximación teorica de la sobrepoblaicon relativa, este artículo explica (e ilustra con informacion secundaria) la paradoja referida a como la “informalidad”, en lugar de disminuir con el desarrollo capitalista, se expande a medida que se profundiza la automatizacion de los procesos productivos de bienes y servicios, no solo en los mercados de trabajo de los países perifericos, sino también, en los mercados de trabajo de los países centrales. La finalidad del artículo es aportar a una reflexión, que se considera imprescindible, sobre las contradicciones que emergen de la automatización en la era de la digitalización, contradicciones que denotan la complejidad de los problemas humanos que plantea la automatización capitalista, como el crecimiento de la precariedad de los empleos asociada al aumento de la “informalidad”.

Mistar Kalender dalam Pengembangan Khazanah Instrument Falak
Authors: Moelki-123 Moelki Fahmi Ardliansyah
Published: December 2022

Calendars by humans are used to mark the change of days and dates. Basically the calendar refers to the movement of celestial bodies. For example, the Gregorian calendar is a calendar that refers to the movement of the Sun. At this point, actually knowing the date on the calendar can be through solar observations, but of course you need a tool. In this study trying to build a celestial instrument to determine the date on the Gregorian calendar called the Mistar Kalender. Furthermore, this study tries to analyze the extent of its accuracy as well as its advantages and disadvantages. This study uses a mixed method combining library and experimental methods with descriptive analysis and numerical analysis approaches where data collection is done through documentation and numerical experimental results. The result of this research is that the Calendar Ruler is built on the concept of the position of the Sun at the local celestial meridian by utilizing a stick/gnomon which will form a shadow length of different sunlight each day. The results of the numerical test carried out showed that the length of the gnomon affected the placement of the sign for the date. The disadvantage of this instrument is that it is local according to the coordinates of the place of observation and depends on the weather at the time of observation. The advantage is as a celestial education medium to make it easier to understand the concept of the Gregorian calendar from the position of the Sun when it is in the local sky meridian.Keywords: Calendar Ruler, Gnomon, Astronomical Instruments

This paper examines the fasting of arafah and tarwiyah, both problematic in terms of arguments and the determination of the day, which often occurs every year. Through the study of Library Research which refers to the opinions of ulama. This study concludes that fasting arafah and tarwiyah are worship practices that have sunnah values, according to the arguments presented. As for the polemic of determining the day, it is divided into two groups. First: consider that arafah is a sign for the time when the haji “wukuf” in Arafah. And second: assume that arafah is a date (9 Zulhijjah). Both have their own basis of thinking, but the author as a researcher chooses the second opinion.
Problematika Bentuk Bumi: Kajian Komparatif Historis Sains Serta Perspektif Al-Qur’an Dan Sunnah
Authors: Alamsyah Alamsyah
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the problems of the shape of the earth: a comparative historical study of science and the perspective of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Among the scientific studies that are quite warm and test the existence of modern science in recent years is the debate between adherents of the spherical Earth theory (spherical and ellipsoid) and adherents of the flat Earth theory (flat earth). This issue becomes a very serious problem because each party not only shows scientific evidence, but also uses the arguments of the Qur'an and hadith to strengthen their arguments. From a scientific point of view, flat-Earthers argue against the spherical Earth theory such as the invisible curvature of the Earth based on Samuel Rowbotham's experiments, claims that NASA fabricated photos of the Earth and satellites are mere lies, there is no gravity, the north pole is the center of the Earth and so on. Other Meanwhile, in terms of syar’i texts, the commentators also differ in opinion about how the Earth actually looks like. What was put forward by adherents of flat earth was then responded by adherents of round Earth with a number of scientific arguments. In this paper, the authors present a comparison between the flat earth theory and rebuttals from adherents of the spherical earth theory in several approaches, such as the development of history, science, the study of astronomy and interpretation of the Qur'an.

Effect of steam‒curing on the glass fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Canbaz Mehmet , Bensaoud Mouad , Erol Hakan , Şengel Hasan Selim
Published: December 2022

Due to the increased need to use precast concrete to reduce construction duration and to accelerate the cement reaction process to achieve the required concrete resistance that enables the elements to gain the required strength to handle the loads generated by the transportation process, many companies use steam curing methods to expedite the hydration process. The steam curing process negatively affects the concrete strength, especially in the long term. Fibers of different types are used to improve the interior composition of concrete and increase its crack resistance. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of the glass fiber on the behavior of steam-cured concrete. In this study 90 concrete cubes were used with 15cm dimensions, three different weight ratios of glass fibers (0%, 0.12%, and 0.24%) with two curing methods standard curing in the water tank (water curing - WC) for 3, 7, and 28 days, and steam curing (SC) for 4 and 8 hours. Nine specimens of each mix were cast in 12 mm, and 24 mm fibers length and tested for each curing duration and method. The results of this study indicate that fiber glass addition to the steam-cured concrete has a positive effect on the concrete unit weight and the ultrasonic pulse velocity. Moreover, the result showed that the tensile and compressive strength of the concrete has been positively affected by the length of the fiber more than the fiber weight percentage.

Published: December 2022

In this experimental study the effect of waste steel tire wire was investigated on the concrete bollards of mechanical behavior under impact loading. Concrete bollards were produced using three different dimensions with three different volumes of waste steel tire wire (0%, 5% and 10%). The concrete was 30 MPa strength. The concrete bollards were cast into molds with a size of 100x100 mm, 150x150 mm and 200x200 mm and standard length of 1100 mm prism. Nine cube specimens of three different dimensions are tested. 84 kg of an impact load is used with the drop height of 400 mm in this study. Compressive strength tests were achieved. Concrete bollards were kept in laboratory standard conditions. According to the results of study compressive strength of the concrete vary between 25-30 MPa. The use of waste steel tire wire in the concrete bollards contributes to the less crack, less deflection, more acceleration and more energy dissipation at the end of the specimens. The experimental test aimed to research the effect of waste steel tire wired concrete on the mechanical behavior under impact loading as a possible environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. It can be said that the results provide the potential usage of waste steel tire wire manufacturing friendly to nature and sustainability of the concrete bollards. Generally, the usage of waste steel tire wire in concrete could be an innovative method in the construction industry.

Authors: Wu Yi-Chen , Lin Wan-Chen , Huang Pei-Chin , Lee Hsiang-Ting , Chiu Hsiao-Hui
Published: December 2022

Background: Hospitalization has been a source of anxiety for young school-age patients. In addition to taking care of young patients’ physical problems, the primary caregivers will also encounter young patients’ emotional reactions. Understanding the anxiety status in young patients and primary caregivers to provide relevant measures is an important issue.Aim: To investigate the hospitalization anxiety levels in school-age children aged 6 to 12 years and primary caregivers, as well as their influencing factors.Subject and Methods: Cross-sectional research with a questionnaire survey was used as the methodology for the study. The enrollment period was between December 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022. For hospitalized young patients aged 6 to 12 years in the orthopedic ward of a medical center, after the consent was acquired at admission for 24 hours, the primary caregiver was assigned to complete the questionnaire.Result: The Post-Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire (PHBQ) was used to investigate 39 young patients. The overall mean behavior scores was 51.5 ± 15.7 points, there were statistically significant differences for sex in general anxiety behavior scores, separation anxiety behavior scores, sleep anxiety behavior scores, apathy/withdrawal behavior scores, and total behavior scores, with higher post-hospitalization behavior scores in male young patients compared to that in females. In the Trait Anxiety Inventory for a family member, the mean score was 39 ± 12.6 points, with mild anxiety at 50%, moderate anxiety at 38.9%, and severe anxiety at 11.1%. Primary caregivers’ level of anxiety reached statistical significance in economic status, with an increased level of anxiety for those who were in lower economic positions (p=0.01).Conclusion: The PHBQ for young patients can be used as an assessment for their levels of anxiety, the levels of negative behaviors in boys are higher than that in girls. There were 50% of primary caregivers experienced moderate to severe anxiety, and the sources of anxiety were correlated with the economic status of the family.Recommendations:(1)     Hospital anxiety in children is often overlooked and can be found by observing behavior. The PHBQ is an easy-to-use assessment tool and is recommended for routine use in hospitalized children to assess behavioral changes after pediatric surgery/hospitalization to help parents and medical staff evaluate children's anxiety.(2)     Hospitals can construct amusement equipment, and toys or arrange game activities to reduce the anxiety of hospitalization of school-age children.

Neutrophils play an essential role in the defense against bacterial infections and orchestrate both the innate and adaptive immune responses. With their abundant numbers, diverse function and short life span, these cells are at the forefront of immune responses, and have gained attention in recent years because of their presence in tumor sites. Neutrophil involvement pertains to tumor cells’ ability to construct a suitable tumor microenvironment (TME) that accelerates their own growth and malignancy, by facilitating their interaction with surrounding cells through the circulatory and lymphatic systems, thereby influencing tumor development and progression. Studies have indicated both pro- and anti-tumor properties of infiltrating neutrophils. The TME can exploit neutrophil function, recruitment, and even production, thus resulting in pro-tumor properties of neutrophils, including promotion of genetic instability, tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis and suppression of anti-tumor or inflammatory response. In contrast, neutrophils can mediate anti-tumor resistance by direct cytotoxicity to the tumor cells or by facilitating anti-tumor functions via crosstalk with T cells. Here, we summarize current knowledge regarding the effects of neutrophil heterogeneity under homeostatic and tumor conditions, including neutrophil phenotype and function, in cancer biology.
Waves, Protein Synthesis and Resonance in the Brain: a New Approach for a Long Term Memory

Conclusive evidence that specic long-term memory formation relies on den- dritic growth and structural synaptic changes has proven elusive. Connec- tionist models of memory based on this hypothesis are confronted with the so-called plasticity stability dilemma or catastrophic interference. Other fun- damental limitations of these models are the feature binding problem, the speed of learning, the capacity of the memory, the localisation in time of an event and the problem of spatio-temporal pattern generation. This paper suggests that the generalisation and long-term memory mechanisms are not correlated. Only the development and the improvement of the feature ex- tractors in the cortex involves structural synaptic changes. We suggest the long-term memory has a separate mechanism which involves protein synthe- sis to encode the information into the structure of these proteins. A model of memory should be capable of explaining the dierence between memorisation and learning. Learning has in our approach two dierent mechanisms. The generalisation in the brain is handled by the proper development of the links between neurons via synapses. The Hebbian learning rule could be applied only for this part of learning. Storing an internal ring pattern involves, in our approach, a new mechanism which puts the information regarding this ring pattern into the structure of special proteins in such a way that it can be retrieved later. The hypotheses introduced in this article includes a physiological assumption which has not been yet verified because it is not currently experimentally accessible.

(Background) the aim was to determine related factors to recurrent vitreous hemorrhage (RVH) in a sample of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients. (Methods) A retrospective, review-based study. We studied 183 eyes from 121 type 2 diabetes patients with PDR. We recorded diabetes duration, history of hypertension, retinal photocoagulation status, the posterior vitreous status, the mean HbA1c, mean hemoglobin, the renal function, and the systemic complications related to diabetes. We also recorded the use of ranibizumab prior to vitrectomy and the following surgical variables: the application of segmentation and diathermy on fibrovascular proliferative tissue, the use of silicone oil, and the occurrence of surgical complications, to study which independent variables were significantly related to the presence of RVH. (Results) Duration of diabetes (P= 0.028), hemoglobin (P=0.02), status of the posterior vitreous (P=0.03), retinal photocoagulation (P=0.002) and use of segmentation surgery technique (P=0.003) have significant link to the presence of RVH. In addition, patients with diabetic polyneuropathy, myocardial infarction and ischemia in lower limbs had more vitreous hemorrhage events (p<0.001). (Conclusions) Patients with PDR and with longer diabetes duration, anemia, attached posterior vitreous, deficient retinal photocoagulation, and previously cardiovascular events, were more prone to RVH.

KLFs seem to associate with congenital heart disease-linked syndromes, malformations because of autosomal diseases, mutations that relate to protein instability, and/or loss functions such as atheroprotective activities. Ischemic damage also relates to KLF dysregulation because of differentiation of cardiac myofibroblasts or a modified fatty acid oxidation, related to the formation of a dilated cardiomyopathy; myocardial infarctions, left ventricular hypertrophy and diabetic cardiomyopathies. MicroRNA have been involved in certain regulatory loops of KLFs as they may function as critical modulators of vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis, in heart failure and as markers of endothelial damage in acute myocardial infarction.

Cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS), also known as posterior fossa syndrome, is encountered in a subset of children who have undergone an operative procedure of the posterior cranial fossa, mainly involving the vermis, and the most frequent underlying pathology is proved to be medulloblastoma. The most common characteristics of this syndrome include an often transient, although protracted, language impairment, emotional lability, along with cerebellar, and brainstem dysfunction. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients experience persistent neurological deficits and lasting neurocognitive impairment. A lot of research and clinical studies have been performed in order to better delineate this syndrome. The main obstacles in our way to highlight all aspects of this syndrome were related with an inconsistent nomenclature, poorly defined diagnostic criteria, and uncertainty surrounding risk factors and etiology. Currently, there is a combination of diagnostic criteria that are regarded as prerequisites in order to establish the diagnosis of CMS. These include language impairment and emotional lability, as proposed by the international Board of the Posterior Fossa Society in their consensus statement. Several risk factors are recognized as implicated in the pathogenesis of this syndrome, including midline tumor location, diagnosis of medulloblastoma, younger age at diagnosis, and preoperatively established language impairment. A proposed etiology of CMS includes disruption of the cerebellar outflow tracts, the cerebellar nuclei, and their efferent projections through the superior cerebellar peduncle. Specific treatment for CMS is lacking, and it continues to be directed at symptom management. Our aim is to present a comprehensive narrative review of CMS etiology, diagnosis, risk factors, clinical presentation, and clinical management. Moreover, we attempt to recognize the most widely recognized priorities of the research community in order to expand our knowledge in the era of diagnostics, prevention, and therapeutic options for patients suffering from CM, or who are at risk for development of this syndrome.

For a mobile robot, navigation in a densely crowded space can be a challenging and sometimes impossible task, especially with traditional techniques. In this paper, we present a framework to train neural controllers for differential drive mobile robots which must safely navigate a crowded environment while trying to reach a target location. To learn the robot’s policy, we train a convolutional neural network using two reinforcement learning algorithms, Deep Q-Networks (DQN) and Asynchronous Advantage Actor Critic (A3C), and develop a training pipeline that allows to scale the process to several compute nodes. We show that the asynchronous training procedure in A3C can be leveraged to quickly train neural controllers and test them on a real robot in a crowded environment.
