Trabajadores sobre 3000 metros de altura. Dónde la medicina de montaña y la salud ocupacional se encuentran
Authors: Jiménez Daniel
Published: June 2019

Los trabajadores nativos de nivel de mar, expuestos ocupacionalmente a hypoxia hipobárica intermitente crónica, HIC, pueden ver afectada su salud y seguridad en especial sobre 3000 metros de altitud, por factores ambientales dependientes de la presión barométrica, presión de oxígeno, temperatura, humedad, radiación solar, clima y exigencias inhabituales. Los efectos biológicos de estos factores son abordados por la Medicina de Montaña, MM, disciplina clínica que propone criterios de tolerancia, aclimatación, diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades de la altura. Por su parte, la Salud Ocupacional chilena ha implementado regulaciones, normas y protocolos para proteger la salud de trabajadores de los riesgos ocupacionales. La HIC se entiende como un peligro que puede condicionar riesgos de enfermedades profesionales de la altura, riesgo de incidentes/accidentes por somnolencia y mala calidad de sueño en hipobaria, fatiga por reducción de capacidad aeróbica, y enfermedades por agentes químicos respirables. Para la prevención, control y mitigación de estos riesgos, las autoridades de salud y trabajo de Chile han propuesto normas, considerando criterios de MM, para conserver la salud y capacidad de trabajo de los expuestos a HIC, mejorar el ambiente del puesto de trabajo en altitud, y desarrollar la organización y cultura laboral que favorezca la salud y seguridad en el trabajo a gran altura. La adecuada implementación de estas regulaciones podrá aportar información relevante para seguir optimizando la salud ocupacional a gran altitud.
Percepción del desastre y respuestas psicosociales en la comunidad de Tartagal (Argentina): aproximaciones cualitativas a partir del alud de 2009.
Authors: Abeldaño Roberto Ariel , Lucchese Marcela Susana , Fernández Alicia Ruth
Published: June 2019

En Tartagal (Argentina) el 9 de febrero de 2009 un alud de agua, lodo y árboles irrumpió hacia la ciudad provocando tres muertos, una decena de desaparecidos y más de mil evacuados. El objetivo del trabajo que presentamos aquí fue analizar las percepciones y vivencias de los sujetos con respecto el alud, y las respuestas psicosociales frente a la situación de desastre. Se realizó un trabajo de naturaleza cualitativa para indagar las percepciones y vivencias de los sujetos por medio de 23 entrevistas en profundidad aplicadas en el año 2013. La información se analizó a través de la Teoría Fundamentada. En los resultados emergen las categorías teóricas relacionadas con la percepción del desastre y de los efectos del alud, y las respuestas psicosociales desplegadas a partir del desastre. El alud fue significado como un desastre a partir de la destrucción, las muertes y las pérdidas que sufrieron las personas y las familias. Entre sus efectos se encontraron una serie de respuestas psicosociales entre las que sobresalieron la interrupción de las vivencias de continuidad y la pérdida de la vivienda y bienes materiales. Se concluye que las respuestas psicosociales después del desastre dependieron de una combinación de factores de riesgo y resiliencia.

Análisis desde el enfoque de derechos a la política chilena en discapacidad mental
Authors: Pino Juan , Valderrama Cristián
Published: June 2019

El trabajo pretende realizar un análisis crítico desde el enfoque de derechos humanos a la política pública de Chile en discapacidad mental. Se revisa el desarrollo histórico y el abordaje epistemológico dominante con esta población, a través de un análisis hermenéutico crítico de la bibliografía oficial sobre el tema de la discapacidad mental en Chile. Se concluye que nuestro país presenta grandes deficiencias desde la mirada de los derechos humanos, sin embargo, posee un marcado abordaje desde salud mental, limitando una mirada global que permita comprender el fenómeno desde la discapacidad mental”. Finalmente, se proponen dimensiones y lineamientos para instalar una perspectiva de derechos en ambas situaciones, tanto para pensar un mejoramiento de la política de salud mental actual, como para la construcción de una política en discapacidad mental de carácter más inclusivo y ciudadano.

Authors: Buedo Paola , Silberman Pedro , Mujica Daiana
Published: June 2019

Objetivo: Describir los tipos de errores que referencian los conductores de automóviles que circularon en la ciudad de Bahía Blanca durante el período

septiembre 2014 y abril de 2015. Método: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal de tipo cuantitativo. Se definió una muestra por conveniencia y se confeccionó una encuesta en formato digital, de tipo estructurada, dirigida a los automovilistas, teniendo como base el “Driver Behaviour Questionnaire” en la versión traducida al español. Luego fue validada mediante el método Delphi. Se analizó con software estadístico SPSS.

Resultados: El 30% al realizar un giro, estuvo a punto de chocar con una bicicleta o moto. Un 36,3% sostuvo que por ir distraído, se dio cuenta tarde

de que el vehículo de adelante redujo su velocidad debiendo frenar bruscamente para evitar el choque, el 25,3% se olvida de utilizar el guiñe antes

de girar o cambiar de carril. El 80,2% usa siempre el cinturón de seguridad. El 11,4% pasa los semáforos en rojo. Un 43,9% utiliza el celular mientras

maneja y el 22,9% de los encuestados reconoce que alguna vez condujo por encima del límite legal de alcohol. El 38% se impacienta y acelera bruscamente

a la salida de un semáforo y un 62,7% se impacienta y se adelanta de forma arriesgada a un vehículo lento. Conclusiones: El manejo es una situación compleja que requiere de múltiples habilidades pero fundamentalmente una conciencia de respeto y solidaridad sumado a un enfático control punitorio sobre errores voluntarios graves.
Adaptación y validación de un cuestionario grupal sobre participación comunitaria en salud en la comuna de El Bosque, Santiago de Chile
Authors: Hadjez Esteban , Crisosto Rafael , Aravena Catalina , Sánchez Ana María , González Ximena , Catalán Mónica , Henríquez Carlos
Published: June 2019

La participación comunitaria ha sido uno de los aspectos fundamentales en las políticas sanitarias en Chile desde 1990. Sin embargo, aun reconociéndose

la importancia de la participación comunitaria en el trabajo de los equipos de salud, esta estrategia ha presentado dificultades en su implementación, derivadas

tanto de aspectos prácticos como de problemas teóricos. La ausencia de definiciones conceptuales claras y compartidas acerca de la participación resulta en tensiones ideológicas y políticas que se expresan a su vez en una interpretación, aplicación y evaluación distinta de las actividades de participación.

Así, se hace necesario desarrollar herramientas de evaluación de la participación que, utilizándose transversalmente, fortalezcan el trabajo de los equipos de salud, al mismo tiempo que promuevan el desarrollo teórico del área. Un instrumento de evaluación de la participación comunitaria, diseñado especialmente para ser utilizado en atención primaria de salud, lo constituye el Spidergram, o mapa en tela de araña, que incorpora la evaluación de cinco dimensiones del proceso participativo. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo adaptar y validar este instrumento en un contexto urbano en Chile. Se evaluó la validez del cuestionario grupal traducido al español basado en la revisión de la literatura, la aplicación del instrumento piloto y las discusiones sostenidas por parte del equipo de investigación. Este instrumento alcanzó un adecuado nivel de consistencia interna y de concordancia interobservador en la mayoría de las variables al ser aplicado por moderadores externos, permitiéndose su recomendación como herramienta de trabajo para los equipos de atención primaria de salud.
Experiencias en madres con hijos con síndrome de Down en torno a la recepción del diagnóstico
Authors: Azócar Elizabeth , Cerda Jasmín , Mella Maribel
Published: June 2019

En Chile la tasa de Síndrome de Down es de 2,47 por cada mil nacimientos, con tendencia al aumento. El momento del diagnóstico se constituye como un proceso esencial en la asimilación del mismo por parte de las madres. El objetivo del presente es describir las experiencias de madres con niños con Síndrome de Down, al momento de conocer el diagnóstico.

Metodología: Estudio cualitativo de tipo descriptivo. La muestra se compuso por madres pertenecientes a la corporación “EduDown Providencia”. Se realizaron 10 entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales y dos grupos focales, previo consentimiento informado, las entrevistas fueron audiograbadas con transcripciones textuales y luego analizadas.

Resultados: Se obtuvieron tres grandes categorías relacionadas con los objetivos del estudio: Factores que influyen en la recepción del diagnóstico, el rol del profesional y redes de apoyo, y dos categorías emergentes.

Discusión: En el diagnóstico prenatal es relevante preparar a las madres con el fin de orientar y acompañar el proceso desde la noticia y con posterioridad al nacimiento, hecho no manifestado en este estudio. La recomendación al entregar el diagnóstico, principalmente posnatal es: favorecer la privacidad, un ambiente tranquilo, informar a ambos padres acompañados del recién nacido. Las madres de este estudio no presentan sentimientos de culpa, rechazo y negación hacia el hijo, aspectos que aparecen como relevantes en otros estudios. Las madres manifiestan la falta de habilidades que tienen los profesionales para comunicar la noticia y las dificultades económicas que implica tener un hijo con esta condición.
Evaluación cualitativa de experiencia piloto PROCASER, como método para mejorar la pertinencia de interconsultas desde Atención Primaria con uso de Telemedicina
Authors: Gallegos Karina
Published: June 2019

Entendiendo la problemática de Lista de Espera (LE) y el alto número de interconsultas no pertinentes, surge el Proyecto centros de atención de Salud en Red, “PROCASER”.

Objetivo principal: Evaluar el resultado de esta experiencia piloto como herramienta para la gestión de interconsultas.

Diseño y Método: Estudio descriptivo de tipo transversal. Muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, tamaño muestral de 28 profesionales.

Durante cinco meses se desarrollaron reuniones semanales por videocon¬ferencia en la que médicos generales de cuatro centros de APS (Atención Pri¬maria de Salud) se conectaron por teleasistencia con un médico especialista del centro de referencia (Hospital Dr. HHA Temuco-Chile), rotatorio según semana y patología a tratar. Se presentaron casos clínicos de LE desde APS con mismo diagnóstico según semana, permitiendo resolver la interconsulta, evaluar pertinencia y reforzar conceptos según patología. Se desarrollaron 14 reuniones, resolvieron 38 casos clínicos y reforzaron conceptos de 16 pa¬tologías. Al término del proyecto se aplicó un cuestionario vía internet a los médicos participantes.

Resultados: 79% respondieron esta encuesta; 95% consideró que se po¬tenció la comunicación entre médicos APS con especialistas; 100% que se reforzaron conceptos y criterios de derivación; 91% afirmó que en caso de mantenerse la actividad de forma anual, pudiese disminuir el número de interconsultas no pertinentes.

Conclusión: Si bien aún no es factible conocer el impacto real, PRO¬CASER pudiese ser a futuro una nueva forma de asociar la telemedicina a un nuevo método de trabajo para mejorar la pertinencia de derivación y disminuir las LE.
SILVICULTURA DE Acacia mearnsii NO SUL DO BRASIL: BIOMASSA E NUTRIENTES
Authors: Dick Grasiele , Schumacher Mauro Valdir
Published: June 2019

A silvicultura de Acacia mearnsii é uma importante atividade econômica no Rio Grande do Sul e a colheita da biomassa deve visar sempre a sustentabilidade nutricional do sítio. O objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar o estoque de nutrientes contido na biomassa e a exportação em função de diferentes intensidades de colheita de uma plantação de Acacia mearnsii, na região central do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Nove árvores foram fracionadas em folhas, galhos, casca da madeira e madeira do tronco, de onde foram determinados os pesos secos e teores de nutrientes. A produção total de biomassa é de 174,67 Mg ha-1, onde 72,8% corresponde à madeira do tronco e 12,5% à casca da madeira. Houve maior acúmulo dos nutrientes N, K, Ca e Fe e, o sistema de colheita onde há retirada da casca da madeira e madeira do tronco, preconizado na acacicultura, remove mais de 50% das quantidades de nutrientes acumuladas na biomassa, o que torna indispensável a manutenção dos resíduos (folhas e galhos) sobre o solo.
PADRÕES DE CRESCIMENTO DE Araucaria angustifolia E Cedrela fissilis NO CENTRO-SUL DO PARANÁ
Authors: Marcon Amanda Koche , Longhi-Santos Tomaz , Botosso Paulo Cesar , Blum Christopher Thomas , Martins Kelly Geronazzo , Galvão Franklin
Published: June 2019

A avaliação dos padrões de crescimento das árvores pode resgatar informações e indicar características do comportamento ecológico das espécies, importantes tanto para a conservação quanto para o seu manejo. A hipótese deste estudo é que os ciclos de corte de florestas do Sul do país resultaram em eventos de liberação do crescimento nas árvores remanescentes. Os objetivos foram identificar os padrões de crescimento, compará-los com a autoecologia das espécies e verificar o sincronismo dos eventos de liberação ou supressão. Foram coletadas 3 amostras não destrutivas de lenho de cada uma das 30 árvores por espécie, com uso de trado de incremento. As amostras de lenho foram secas e polidas, para posterior delimitação e mensuração da largura dos anéis anuais de crescimento. Para verificar alterações no incremento, foram calculados os incrementos diamétricos relativos, buscando detectar padrões de liberação e/ou supressão do crescimento, bem como a sincronicidade destes eventos. Os resultados indicaram diferentes padrões de crescimento para ambas as espécies. Para A. angustifolia, a maioria das árvores não registrou eventos de liberação ou supressão. Para C. fissilis, a maioria das árvores passou por, pelo menos, um evento de supressão. A sincronicidade entre eventos de liberação e supressão foi baixa, indicando que eventos individuais, e não de grande escala, atuaram. Não foi possível identificar liberações do crescimento relacionadas ao ciclo histórico de corte seletivo ocorrido na região Sul do Brasil.
Regional- to Deposit-Scale Geologic Controls on Copper-Silver Mineralization in the Kalahari Copperbelt, Botswana

Published: June 2019

The Kalahari Copperbelt in northwestern Botswana is characterized by structurally controlled, stratabound, mineralogically zoned copper-silver deposits hosted along a major redox boundary within a late Mesoproterozoic rift succession. Copper-silver mineralized rocks occur on the limbs and in the hinge positions of regional-scale folds that characterize the Pan-African Ghanzi-Chobe zone fold-and-thrust belt. Regional facies changes along the base of the transgressive marine D’Kar Formation, the host to the majority of mineralized rocks, delineate a series of synsedimentary basin highs and lows. The facies changes were identified through both lithostratigraphic analysis of drill holes and along-strike variations in magnetic lithostratigraphy, a technique that correlates the magnetic fabrics of second vertical derivative aeromagnetic maps with changes in lithostratigraphy. Basin highs controlled the development and distribution of favorable lithostratigraphic and lithogeochemical trap sites for later sulfide precipitation. Major facies changes across the Ghanzi Ridge area straddle a significant crustal structure identified in gravity datasets that appears to have influenced extensional activity during basin development.

During basin inversion, the basin highs, cored by rheologically stronger bimodal volcanic rocks, localized strain within mechanically weaker rock types of the Ghanzi Group metasedimentary rocks, leading to the development of locally significant permeability and the formation of structural trap sites for mineralization by hot (250°–300°C), oxidizing, metalliferous Na-Ca-Cl brines. Structural permeability was maintained within trap sites due to silicification and/or feldspar alteration during progressive deformation and associated hydrothermal mineralizing events.
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct: two case reports and review of the literature
Authors: Kaila Vishal , Javia Siddharth B , Thosani Nirav , Raijman Isaac
Published: June 2019

Background: Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct (IPNB) is a rare disease that is characterized by papillary lesions in the intra and extrahepatic biliary tree. Traditional imaging studies may show biliary dilation and/or filling defects. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can demonstrate diffuse bile duct dilatation as well as amorphous filling defects, however visualization of the biliary system can be limited by obstruction by the papillary lesions or mucin. Digital single operator cholangioscopy can be used to aid in diagnosis.Case Presentation: We report two elderly Caucasian males that presented with fatigue and obstructive jaundice. In both cases, the diagnosis of IPNB of was made. In one case, digital single operator cholangioscopy was used successfully to make the diagnosis.Conclusions: We present two cases of IPNB as well as a review of the clinical characteristics of IPNB and the utility of digital single operator cholangioscopy to aid in diagnosis. In IPNB, timely diagnosis is paramount. Traditional imaging studies can be inadequate, digital single operator cholangioscopy allows for quick diagnosis and, if indicated, further intervention.

Published: June 2019

Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are often vulnerable to the adversities caused by major earthquake events, which may include business disruption, damage to goods and property, impaired employee health and safety, financial strain and loss of revenue, or even total loss of the business. SMEs are expected to make critical decisions to prepare their businesses for an earthquake, in an attempt to ensure business continuity and the wellbeing of their employees, should a disaster occur. This study was conducted five years after the devastating Canterbury earthquakes and sought to examine the level of earthquake preparedness of SMEs by investigating the actions undertaken in two different suburban locations having differing seismicity. The extent of preparedness was assessed based on a list of twenty-one possible actions grouped into four categories being knowledge enrichment, insurance and business continuity, survival support actions, and seismic damage mitigation. The assessment involved a survey with an online questionnaire. Analysis of the collected data revealed a specific adoption pattern in the regions of study. The main preparedness action adopted by SMEs was the purchase of business insurance with the development of continuity plans. The least obtained preparedness action was related to survival support actions such as maintaining necessary emergency supplies. The overall adoption rate of the preparedness actions was less than 30%, with no significant difference between the regions studied, and close to 50% of SMEs having adopted less than five preparedness actions. This situation clearly requires urgent attention from all stakeholders involved in SMEs resilience before an earthquake disaster hits the regions.

Published: June 2019

Perceived shortcomings in NZS 1170.5 [1] and some other Standards are highlighted and areas for improvement are suggested. A particular focus is placed on achieving the principal objective of achieving life safety at the limit state at which structural collapse is to be avoided. Topic areas commented on include:

The objectives of earthquake resistant design, especially that of avoiding the collapse of structures

The appropriateness of current classifications of buildings into importance levels

The currency and adequacy of the design seismic hazard spectra requirements

The justification for, and application of, a structural performance factor

The force-based and displacement-based methods of analysis and design, and the effects of plastic hinging relieving member permanent load moments at plastic hinges adjacent to points of support

Consideration of displacement effects, and effects on displacements, at the limit state at which collapse is to be avoided

Achieving reparability

Some shortcomings in the material Standards for both structural steel and reinforcing steel

Consideration of site conditions, and in coastal locations the tsunami risk

Comparability of New Zealand design requirements with other major design codes.

Online violence in the name of honour. Possibilities and limits of criminal law in dealing with this form of violence

Violence in the name of honour has an ancient ring to it. But honour codes tend to be very flexible: cyber-space has given a new dimension to honour-related violence. Images and messages that are perceived as violations of honour also pass through social media. Unfortunately these stings on the good name of the family are quite difficult to remove. In this contribution is explained how violations of honour occur on the internet. Next to that will be described how currently in the Netherlands criminal law especially regarding vice is being adapted in order to deal with phenomena like sexting and sextortion. What are the consequences of these changes for dealing with modern forms of the violation of family honour?
A graduate of early school education in the teachers' speeches Polish language in class IV
Authors: Kupiec Monika
Published: June 2019

Recognition of the teacher's expectations towards a graduate of early school education was associated with an attempt to reach the pupil's picture, to that element of his individual theory, which translates into teaching practice, conditioning the type of educational environment created in which the adaptation process of the 4th grade students will take place.
The phenomenological perspective assumed, assuming the unity of thinking and acting, made it possible to try to reveal how teachers of Polish language invited in the study in class 4 identify their own perception of the student's competences with everyday educational practice. Their comments on the image of a graduate of early school education also show the perception and assessment of the everyday educational practice of first-grade teachers. The presented research results indicate a tendency to maintain the deficits model. The teacher's expectations towards the student starting school in the fourth class clearly accentuate his poor resources, whose assessment is related to the depreciating perception of various dimensions of early school education. Thus, the image of an early education graduate will consist of his deficiencies, the completion of which will be the task of teachers of subject education. The teacher's expectations focusing on the shortages of children finishing early school education affect their adaptation at the beginning of the fourth grade, on the level of anxiety, frustration and passivity. The expectations of teachers of the fourth grade at the beginning of education constitute barriers for children, which for most students are insurmountable and will affect the further, school biography.
Exploration and discovering in a heuristic play
Authors: Pernal Kamila
Published: June 2019

The article presents the results of own research, which were aimed at verifying whether and to what extent children initiate a free and spontaneous research and discovery activity in contact with everyday objects and waste materials. Research problems were formulated regarding heuristic strategies manifested in the course of children's play with everyday objects, cognitive activities in heuristic play and typologies of creative attitudes revealed in this kind of play. The observation method was used in the studies. The obtained empirical data allowed for the identification and determination of cognitive activities and types of creative attitudes manifesting in the heuristic play taken by children. The conclusions from the research indicate that fun creates the possibility of not only researching or discovering new properties, functions, features or essence of objects, but also enables shaping various creative skills of children, which manifests itself in specific types of creative attitudes. The typologies chosen and the proposed solutions can be fair in the process of learning and diagnosing the child's development as well as his work in pre-school education.
MAN IN THE MIRROR OF TRANSFORMATIONS IN CULTURE – A CHALLENGE TO THE ALARMED
Authors: Nycz Edward
Published: June 2019

The author undertakes to discuss the question of transformations in European culture currently underway, which find their reflection in Polish society. The description of the situation is multidimensional. Science is not able to effectively describe the changes going on without making reference to the culture which used to connect elements of cognition, art, and religion in the past. People, particularly young ones, adhere to cognitive reductionism, in this way impoverishing the world of values and exposing valuation of the phenomena going on around them. Departure from the experienced realism may direct the young towards (utopian) idealism and cause them to found their activity on constructs belonging to consumerism and multi-culturalism. Doctrinal and instrumental taking advantage of culture imposes the form on anti-culture – seducing, deluding and disappointing many contemporary humans.

Didactic measurement in this regard is extremely difficult and all attempts need description and standardization
A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER IN STUDENTS’ CREATIVE MOTOR EXPRESSION DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Wojciechowska Katarzyna
Published: June 2019

The article discusses an issue of teacher’s work with preschool children in regard to movement design. The emphasis was placed on creative methods, application of which implies a child’s complete personality formation. Movement is the most important stimulator of physical development, and creative movement also influences intellectual, emotional and social development. A unique personality of a preschooler requires a teacher to have an innovative attitude and to use diversified and novel methods in physical education. Children’s creativity can only be developed by creative teachers. Therefore, research was undertaken, which established to what extent teachers use motor creative expression methods, what’s the status of their preparation for it, and what factors determine the diversity of respondents in
this field. The research procedure was based on a diagnostic survey method. A questionnaire was administered among 158 female teachers coming from different local backgrounds and diversified in terms of age and career progression degree. The survey was supplemented by an observation of the respondents during classes conducted with the use of the creative motor expression methods. The results analysis led to the conclusion that teachers often use these methods. Some differences in their application frequency were noted in favor of teachers from large cities, teachers between 30 and 39 and those who obtained the degree of a certified teacher. A similar distribution of data was observed during the examination of teachers’ preparation level for conducting classes using creative motor methods, although with a higher degree of differentiation and a much lower percentage of well-prepared persons. The overall conclusion is that often poorly prepared teachers conduct classes in a kindergarten using the creative motor expression methods. Therefore, it is important to encourage teachers and to
promote innovative forms of professional development through participation in qualification courses, trainings, workshops, etc., and forms of self-education, among others at online educational platforms
THE ROLE OF SHARED HISTORICAL MEMORY IN ISRAELI AND POLISH EDUCATION SYSTEMS. ISSUES AND TRENDS
Authors: Davidovitch Nitza , Levin Eyal
Published: June 2019

In light of the suffering of the Polish nation and the fate of Jews and non-Jews in Polish territory as a result of the Nazi occupation, it would seem that these nations would identify with each other and find common ground based on their painful past. Moreover, considering the large numbers of Israelis who visit Poland, it would be only natural for Poles and Israelis to form positive attitudes towards each other. Moreover, Jewish culture in Poland is enjoying a revival, with young Polish people in Cracow, Warsaw, Lublin, and Gdansk learning Yiddish, dancing the hora, eating chopped liver, and listening to Hassidic music (Horowitz, 2011). However, the Polish-Jewish relationship has always been based on deep inconsistencies. This paper traces the history of the relationship between Poland and the Jewish people in order to explore important questions, including: Is Poland to be considered an ally, a second homeland where Jews prospered for hundreds of years, or was it the hostile
scene of generations of pogroms? Was Poland the paradise where Jewish life, religious as well as cultural, national particularistic as well as assimilationist, thrived, or was it a historical setup where a Jewish civilization would eventually be trapped to death? Were the Polish people brothers-in-fate, victimized like the Jews by the German conqueror, or were they a hostile ethnic group relieved by the Nazis who cleaned Poland of its Jews for them?
DETERMINANTS AND DILEMMAS IMPACTING THE COOPERATION OF FAMILY AND SCHOOL IN CONVEYING COMMUNITY VALUES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE LITERARY OUTPUT OF TERESA ŚLIWIŃSKA, A TEACHER FROM POZNAŃ. BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH
Authors: Kaliszewska Małgorzata

Researching biography does not only mean exploring the course and trajectory of human life but also understanding people’s life projects, see goals that have been achieved or abandoned and the legacy if there remains any. The article presents one of the areas of pedagogical activity of Teresa Śliwińska: a teacher, headmistress, methodological advisor and community activist, which is a concern for building a school community. The subject of our paper in view of T. Śliwiśka’s literary output is the selected examples on passing on community (collective) values to students, such as religious, family and patriotic values by teachers and parents together. We have not only analyzed values themselves, but also the conditions and dilemmas accompanying the process of passing on the values and the cooperation of the
school and home environments.

The aim of the paper is to present the cult of St. Roch in the context of the role of a patron protecting against diseases, traditionally assigned to him. First the person of St. Roch is characterized, then the qualities of folk medicine are presented, and finally, the traditional ways of preventing and treating some illnesses are shown. Nowadays, knowledge about that seems very important in upbringing and should be transmitted and cherished not only as the testimony of life and struggle with problems of previous generations, but first of all because of the values inherent to folk culture and traditional medicine, such as unlimited patient care, serving the suffering and staying at the margin of social life
Cyclodextrins as multifunctional excipients
Authors: Paczkowska Magdalena , Cielecka-Piontek Judyta
Published: June 2019

Cyclodextrins are pharmaceutical excipients which can form inclusion complexes. They are mainly used to increase the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients, which causes increased bioavailability. In addition, they can mask the taste and smell, affect the modification of biological properties and increase its chemical stability.

The aim of the studies was to determine the possibility of using cyclodextrins as substances modifying chemical stability of model labile active pharmaceutical ingredients for which the susceptibility to degradation in acid-base hydrolysis (meropenem), thermolysis (meropenem), oxidation (cetirizine) or photolysis (rutin) has been previously proven. The extension of the research was a parallel assessment of the effect of cyclodextrin on selected physicochemical and biological properties important due to the possibility of modifying the pharmaceutical properties of selected model labile active pharmaceutical ingredients.

In the first stage, preparations of labile systems of active pharmaceutical ingredients with β-cyclodextrin were carried out using kneading and dry mixing methods. Next, the identity of the obtained systems was confirmed using spectral (UV, FT-IR, Raman, XRPD), thermal (DSC) and microscopic (SEM) methods.

The analytical methods (UV method for meropenem, HILIC for cetirizine and UHPLC-DAD for rutin) have been developed and validated to assess the changes in the concentration of model labile active pharmaceutical ingredients during stability, solubility and permeability studies through artificial biological membranes.

The conducted research confirms the possibility of modifying the chemical stability of labile active pharmaceutical ingredients under acid- -base hydrolysis conditions, thermolysis, oxidation and photolysis. They also confirm the beneficial effect of the presence of inclusion systems based on cyclodextrin systems on parameters for other pharmaceutical properties of active substances, especially such as dissolution dynamics, dissolution rate, permeability and eventually bioavailability.
Eschatological Encounters
Authors: Sachse Frauke
Published: June 2019

The corpus of missionary and indigenous colonial texts in the highland Maya language K’iche’ is an exceptional resource for studying the colonial encounter of Christianity and pre-Columbian religion. To translate Christianity into K’iche’, the missionaries appropriated lexical concepts from highland Maya religion, while indigenous authors took up the doctrinal discourse to negotiate both cosmologies and maintain religious tradition. This article examines the terminology used by missionary authors to express conceptualisations of Christian eschatology and analyses how the new Christian discourse of Heaven and Hell was mapped onto pre-Columbian notions of afterlife and otherworld dimensions.
The Truth in Relation
Authors: Kleden Paulus Budi
Published: June 2019

The article deals with the understanding and practices of the truth of the Lamaholot-speaking people in East-Flores, Indonesia. This traditional group of people does not have a theoretical understanding of truth. Analyzing sayings, social structure, and rituals of these people the author demonstrates that the truth as understood and practiced by the Lamaholot-speaking people is contextual. Truth is not absolute, neither relativistic. It depends on the context. Every person is expected to know what is right for him/her in a given situation and to act accordingly. Cultural sensitivity is a necessary condition to accept people’s understanding and practice of truth.
Manejando incompatibilidades

Published: June 2019

The ocha and ifá tradition (traditionally known as “santería”) are said to maintain a close relationship with nature. However, both traditions are characterized by a worldview that does not separate nature from non-nature (culture). Starting from the “letter of the year” of ifá and the psychology of the “children of the Oricha” (omo oricha) this paper illustrates the ocha-ifá worldview, which differs from the nature-culture dichotomy prevalent in the dominant thinking of the environment. The article seeks to understand how climate change - a very expression of the nature and culture distinction - was incorporated into ifá and its annual prophecies.
Striding towards an institutional repository: Managing staff publications at San Diego Zoo Global
Authors: Hammond Ariel
Published: June 2019

The long, rich, history of staff publications at San Diego Zoo Global (SDZG)is a point of institutional pride. As such, a question like “What has San Diego Zoo Global published on [insert species]?” seems so simple and reasonable, and yet it’s proven one of the hardest for us at the SDZG Library to answer.Managing staff publications, in general, is difficult, and managing them digitally brings new challenges. Thus while the SDZG Library has been attempting to manage staff publications for quite some time, it’s become apparent that our previous method is insufficient for our patrons, so we’ve begun working on a move towards a new direction.

Sustainability in the first-year experience: Taking library orientation online
Authors: Levitan Gina , Rosenstein Jennifer
Published: June 2019

Since 2012, Pace University in New York City has used a library scavenger hunt for the required library orientation for first-year undergraduates. As detailed in a 2013 article in C&RL News, the scavenger hunt replaced library tours and classroom sessions as undergraduate enrollment grew and individual class visits were no longer feasible. As student enrollment continued to increase each year, it became less manageable and more wasteful to conduct a paper scavenger hunt. Each fall, more than 1,000 students collected five separate sheets of paper in order to complete the activity. Not only was this a waste of library resources and an unacceptable environmental impact, it also required a great deal of Jennifer Rosenstein’s time to print the volume of clues and complete the data entry for the surveys. For fall 2016, she was determined to make the scavenger hunt as close to paperless as possible.

Bases conceptuales para la construcción de un modelo de ceremonial oficial para la toma de posesión de los alcaldes en España
Authors: Martínez García Mari Carmen
Published: June 2019

La toma de posesión de los alcaldes exalta la primera legitimación pública del poder municipal mediante la puesta en escena de la de las sesiones constitutivas de los ayuntamientos. En España no existe una normativa general que reúna las reglas o recomendaciones protocolarias en las que los ayuntamientos puedan construir la base del ceremonial de estos actos oficiales.Bajo esta premisa, esta investigación realiza una aproximación sobre cuáles son las pautas de protocolo y ceremonial que se implementan las sesiones constitutivas de administraciones locales partiendo del estudio de caso de los reglamentos de protocolo de los ayuntamientos de más de 15.000 habitantes, según INE 2016.A partir de este análisis de contenido de las variables recogidas en estos reglamentos, se propone un modelo conceptual que podría marcar las bases del ceremonial en la toma de posesión consistorial para el futuro desarrollo de manuales, reglamentos o propuestas legislativas._______________________The inauguration of the mayors represents the first public legitimation of municipal power through the staging of the constitutive sessions of the town councils. In Spain, there is no general regulation that gathers the rules or protocol recommendations in which town councils can build the basis for the ceremonial of these official acts.Under this premise, this research carries out an approximation on which are the protocol and ceremonial guidelines that are implemented by the constitutive sessions of local administrations starting from the case study of the protocol regulations of the town councils of more than 15,000 inhabitants, according to INE 2016.Based on this analysis of the content of the variables included in these regulations, a conceptual model is proposed that could mark the bases of the ceremonial inauguration for the future development of manuals, regulations or legislative proposals
