Authors: Pradipta Made Prasta Yostitia
Published: September 2023

The development of the Covid-19 pandemic has temporarily halted the tourism service business in Surakarta, leading to the emergence of policies regarding tourist attractions and objects. The research was conducted in the Baluwarti Tourism Village, which offers health tour packages to help tourists maintain their mental and physical health during the pandemic. As a result, tourism service businesses are developing alternative tourism options such as wellness or health tourism that can combine tourism and health. Data was collected through library or library research methods and analyzed by selecting, processing, and grouping the data to make it more concise. The findings revealed that the most popular tourist objects and attractions in Surakarta were artificial and cultural attractions, with the majority of them being artificial museums. The study also found several rare tourist attractions such as the "Walking Tour Royal Wellness Tourism" tour package, Javanese Cooking Class, Dance/Gamelan Learning, Constructing Janur, Using Javanese Language, and Making Traditional Herbs/Helpers. This alternative tourism is expected to contribute to the development of tourism in Surakarta, allowing tourists to stay longer in the city with additional tour packages.

No intuito de ampliar o sentido do termo “expressões regionais”, disposto na legislação, buscamos além do próprio termo, por “expressões artísticas”, “expressões locais”, “expressões culturais”, “expressões populares”, “manifestações populares”, “saberes populares” e “saberes tradicionais” juntamente com os descritores “ensino de artes” e “Amazônia”, estes dois últimos permanecendo fixos a cada nova busca. As bases de dados foram a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), Google Scholar e SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). Da análise emergiram três categorias: formação docente e/ou dos estudantes, inserção no currículo e preservação cultural. No (in)surgir, as expressões artísticas regionais amazônicas demonstraram diferentes alcances no ensino de artes, como juventude e inclusão, educação quilombola, trabalho, arte a partir de saberes musicais locais, infância e teatro, currículo de artes na escola indígena, tecnologias digitais e formação e prática docente na escola ribeirinha.
Como ajudar professores do magistério superior a transformar metodologias passivas em metodologias ativas na sala de aula: a prática da Clínica da Atividade Docente em foco
Authors: Lima Anselmo , Althaus Dalvane , Regina Budziak Parabocz Cristiane , Dias Teixeira Sirlei
Published: September 2023

Este texto apresenta um relato de experiência em formação docente continuada na educação superior e tem por objetivo mostrar como ajudar professores a transformar metodologias passivas em metodologias ativas em sala de aula. As chamadas “metodologias ativas” estão em voga e talvez nunca se tenha exigido, recomendado ou esperado tanto quanto agora que os professores passem a “usá-las” ou “empregá-las” em suas salas de aula, para benefício dos alunos. Nesse sentido, os professores teriam que “abandonar” as metodologias passivas que tradicionalmente vêm “utilizando”. Diante desse cenário, adota-se, neste trabalho, a prática teórico-metodológica da Clínica da Atividade Docente, que se orienta amplamente por uma perspectiva dialógico-desenvolvimental, inspirada em Bakhtin e Vigotski, e utiliza o método ou a técnica da autoconfrontação, em que, de modo geral, os professores observam imagens de si em ação e são levados a analisar suas atividades, interagindo coletivamente. Por meio desses pressupostos teórico-metodológicos, nós mostramos, neste relato de experiência, com base em um caso clínico concreto, que o mais indicado é buscar ajudar efetivamente os professores a chegar a metodologias ativas mediante a transformação concreta das metodologias passivas que já mobilizam em sala de aula, ao interagirem dialogicamente com os alunos.
Підготовка майбутніх фахівців у галузі музичного мистецтва до формування виконавських навичок учнів-інструменталістів
Authors: Новська Олена Рудольфівна , Черноморець Марія Станіславівна
Published: September 2023

У статті розглядається питання підготовки майбутніх фахівців у галузі музичного мистецтва до формування виконавських навичок учнів-інструменталістів. Визначається, що одними зі стратегічних напрямів реформування української системи освіти є забезпечення відповідності її критеріїв та стандартів європейським вимогам, створення умов для підготовки майбутніх фахівців у галузі музичного мистецтва до розвитку творчого потенціалу учнів. Актуальність дослідження підкреслюється тим, що музичне мистецтво є одним із найпотужніших засобів гармонійного розвитку особистості. Водночас вища школа потребує оновлення наукової бази, яка дала б змогу викладачам розвивати творчі можливості учнів і забезпечувати цей складний процес на належному науковому та професійному рівні. На основі аналізу науково-педагогічної літератури стверджується, що навички гри на музичному інструменті виокремлюються в декілька основних груп, до яких відносяться: нотноорієнтовні, темпометроритмічні, технічні, мелодико-фразувальні, художньо-виражальні та емоційно-вольові. Зазначено, що підготовка майбутніх фахівців у галузі музичного мистецтва до формування виконавських навичок учнів-інструменталістів у процесі навчання в закладі вищої освіти відбувається на заняттях у класі основного інструменту, і головними видами роботи є сольне виконання, самостійна робота над музичним твором, акомпанування, читання нот з аркуша, транспонування, гра в ансамблі, творче музикування тощо. Основними завданнями викладання основного музичного інструмента в закладі вищої освіти, які спрямовані на формування майбутніми фахівцями в галузі музичного мистецтва виконавських навичок учнів-інструменталістів, є опанування студентом техніки гри на музичному інструменті в процесі засвоєння гам, вправ, етюдів і творів різних форм, стилів, жанрів, епох; оволодіння інтерпретаційними вміннями; розвиток музичних здібностей майбутнього фахівця; формування педагогічного репертуару студента та засвоєння методів роботи над музичним твором; розвиток інтелектуальної, естетичної і духовної сфер майбутнього фахівця в галузі музичного мистецтва на високохудожніх зразках вітчизняної і зарубіжної музики; формування виконавської манери та сценічної культури майбутніх фахівців.
Концепт міфу в оперному мистецтві
Authors: Вороновська Ольга Володимирівна
Published: September 2023

На основі здійсненого теоретичного аналізу наукових джерел визначено, що міф є однією з найважливіших домінант культури, який зберігає свою цінність фактично в усі періоди її розвитку. Використовуючи динамічний потенціал концептів, який полягає в їх відкритості щодо постійних змін, нових тлумачень та інтерпретацій, порушено питання сутності концепту міфу в оперній творчості та в музичному мистецтві загалом. Виявлено, що у самій структурі концепту генетично закладено діалогічність культурного досвіду, що робить поняття «концепт» ключем для аналізу взаємодії міфу і музики. Звертаючись до мистецтвознавчого тлумачення поняття «концепт», виявлено ключові аспекти концепту міфу в оперному мистецтві (міф – сюжет, міф – структурна модель, міф – тип мислення). Даний метод дослідження дав змогу знайти додаткові обґрунтування множинності та відкритості оперного мистецтва. У ході наукового дискурсу з’ясовано, що концепт міфу має розглядатися у двох площинах: як предмет художнього й наукового осмислення музичного тексту та як універсальна сфера когнітивної діяльності. Проаналізовано дві форми звертання до міфологічного сюжету в операх: явна, що заснована на відкритому звертанні, та опосередкована, що заснована на схованих алюзіях. Висвітлено властивості двох основних функцій міфологічного сюжету в опері: дистанційна функція й семантична трансформація. Зроблено висновок щодо оновлення сучасного художнього досвіду сприйняття традиційних концептів міфу в оперному мистецтві, виникнення нових «вузлів» асоціацій у їх сприйнятті.

Authors: Poboży Kamil , Domański Paweł , Domańska Julia , Konarski Wojciech , Poboży Tomasz
Published: September 2023

Advances in immunotherapy for osteosarcoma have shown promising results, with the use of monoclonal antibodies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. These strategies are aimed at targeting specific molecules and pathways involved in tumour immune evasion and promoting anti-tumour immune responses. Other emerging immunotherapeutic approaches include autophagy and pyroptosis induction, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, gadolinium-bisphosphonate nanoparticles and dendritic cell-based vaccines. Continued research into these emerging treatment strategies is essential for developing effective therapies for patients with high-grade osteosarcoma.

Authors: Pazardzhikliev D. , Filipova F. , Milkov D.
Published: September 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a pandemic disease, which commonly presents with fatigue, loss of smell, fever and ground-glass opacities on diagnostic imaging of the lungs. After the first few months of the pandemic, we noticed a tendency for audio-vestibular complaints on out-patient visits post-hospitalization for COVID-19.

Objective. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of audio-vestibular complaints in COVID-19.

Materials and methods. This study included 57 patients with audio-vestibular complaints during and after hospitalization for COVID-19 at University Hospital Kaspela in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The patients underwent both auditory and vestibular tests, as well as a computed tomography of the cranial brain.

Results. The ratio of males to females was 1,35:1, with most belonging to the age group of 51 to 70 years (63,2%). All 57 patients had sudden hearing loss – unilateral in 36 (63,2%) and bilateral in 21 (36,8%), while 17 patients (29.8%) additionally had subjective tinnitus. Forty-eight patients (84,2%) had vestibular complaints – general dizziness in 46 (95,8%) and rotatory vertigo in two (4,2%). Two patients had spontaneous nystagmus (3,5%), 43 (75,4%) – saccades, and 25 (43,9%) – smooth pursuit and gaze disturbances. Romberg with closed eyes was positive in two patients (3,5%), and Fukuda lateralized to the healthy ear also in two patients (3,5%). Dix-Hallpike was positive in one patient (1,8%). The video head-impulse test was positive in two patients (3,5%). Vascular encephalopathy was found on computed tomography in 33 patients (57,9%).

Conclusions. Coronavirus disease 2019 may be associated with vestibulocochlear nerve damage, and in most cases, it is an isolated injury to the auditory nerve. Complaints of dizziness are most likely due to vascular changes in the central nervous system.

Authors: Kovachev S. , Gitsova S. , Ganovska A. , Kovachev M.
Published: September 2023

Serous endometrial carcinoma is characterized by its highly aggressive nature and represents about 10% of all endometrial carcinomas. It causes about 80% of deaths among women suffering from endometrial cancer.

The aim of our study was to determine the frequency, lymphatic and local spread of serous endometrial cancer compared with endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in a period of 4 years (from 2015 to 2019). One hundred and twenty-three women aged between 39 and 84 years suffering from endometrial carcinoma in various stages according to FIGO from stage I to IV were included in the study. Diagnosis was established clinically and by imaging studies and was histologically proven in all women. We performed radical hysterectomy type B or C (2017 Update on the Querleu-Morrow Classification of Radical Hysterectomy) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PN) with or without paraaortic (PAR) lymph node dissection in all patients.

Results: In 106 (86.2%) patients we found adenocarcinoma, in 9 (7.3%) of them – serous carcinoma, in 4 (3.3%) women – carcinosarcoma, in 4 (3.3%) women – clear cell carcinoma. The study compared the results only of 115 (100%) women with adenocarcinoma and serous carcinoma. In 17.8% of the patients with adenocarcinoma we found the presence of lymph node metastases, and in the group of patients with serous carcinoma we found lymph node metastases in 77.7% of them. There was a significant difference in the frequency of lymph node metastases according to the histological type EC (p < 0.00001). In 22.6% of patients with adenocarcinoma there was a local cancer spread, while such a spread was found in 66.7% of patients with serous cancer. After statistical processing of the results, we found a significant difference in the frequency of local tissue spread depending on the histological type of EC.

Conclusion: Patients with serous endometrial cancer have significant more frequent lymphatic metastases and local spread than those with endometrial adenocarcinoma.

A Rare Case of Central Areolar Choroidal Dystrophy
Authors: Mermeklieva E. , Vasileva P.
Published: September 2023

The aim is to present a rare clinical case of central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD), confirmed clinically and electrophysiologically. A 49-year-old man underwent a detailed ophthalmological examination, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, visual field testing, electrophysiological (EF) studies – full-field ERG and multifocal ERG, thanks to which the diagnosis was established. A classic CACD phenotype with slightly reduced visual acuity, central scotomas, atrophy of the outer layers of the retina and the choroid in the macula and hypoautofluorescence in the macula were demonstrated. EF studies showed absence of diffuse photoreceptor involvement. The local mfERG photopic response was slightly reduced. The relatively good functional results and the pronounced anatomical changes are due to the later, secondary involvement of the photoreceptors in the macular area, characteristic of choroidal dystrophies. The comprehensive clinical and EF testing of patients with rare hereditary retinal dystrophies is essential for the correct diagnosis given the many clinical trials of new innovative therapies for many of these diseases. It is expected that some of them would become curable in the very near future, and we should be prepared when that moment comes.
Immunoregulatory Markers in Human Saliva – A Non-Invasive Approach in the Diagnosis of Oral Precancerous and Cancerous Lesions
Authors: Bolyarova T. , Mihailova-Kandilarova S. , Stanimirov P. , Yankova P. , Adamov A. , Mihaylova Z.
Published: September 2023

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral mucosa. Currently, the diagnosis of oral cancer is based on clinical examination and histopathological analysis. Numerous potential biomarkers have been suggested for oral cancer diagnosis, but the results are contradictory. A great achievement could be identification of biomarkers that indicate the early stage and progression of OSCC. Saliva is an easy to obtain biological fluid containing specific molecules for various pathologies. Some reliable saliva molecules described as oral biomarkers for OSCC are cytokines. A number of studies have shown that higher levels of the proinflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines, like IL-8, IL-6 and TNF-α in saliva could be used for early diagnosis of OSCC. Other studies have shown that the levels of some immunosuppressive cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-1RA) are elevated in saliva in OSCC patients compared to controls. The importance of the immunoregulatory molecules as markers for OSCC is debated. Further studies are needed to identify clinically relevant biomarkers for screening and early detection of oral cancer.

Efficacy and safety profile of minocycline in patients with urogenital chlamydia infection: results of an open randomized comparative clinical trial
Authors: Rakhmatulina Margarita R.
Published: September 2023

Background. Urogenital chlamydia infections is a widespread STI, 131 million people are infected every year. Despite the absence of a reliable correlation with respect to antimicrobial resistance of chlamydia strains to tetracyclines, macrolides and fluoroquinolones in vitro and in vivo, scientists are studying the issue of reducing the sensitivity of the pathogen to traditionally used drugs and are investigating the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs active against Chlamydia trachomatis. One of the drugs with high anti-chlamydia activity is minocycline.
Aims. To study the efficacy and safety of the minocycline (Minolexin®) in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia infection in comparison with the doxycycline (Unidox Solutab®).
Methods. An open randomized comparative clinical trial included 100 patients: group 1 — 50 patients who received minocycline 100 mg 2 times a day for 7 days, group 2 — 50 patients who received doxycycline 100 mg 2 times a day in within 7 days. The diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of C. trachomatis by PCR. The parameter of the effectiveness of therapy was the eradication of C. trachomatis and the absence of clinical symptoms 4 weeks after therapy.
Results. 1 week after therapy, clinical symptoms were registered in 20; 40.8% patients of group 1 and 28 (57.1%) patients of group 2 (p = 0.106), 4 weeks later — in 4; 8.2% patients of group 1 and 7 (18.4%) patients of group 2 (p = 0.524). In group 1, the absence of most subjective clinical symptoms was recorded in a shorter time than in the comparison group. 100% of patients had achieved eradication C. trachomatis, laboratory signs of an inflammatory reaction were recorded in 2 (5.0%) patients of group 1 and 3 (7.3%) patients of group 2 (p = 1,000). According to the frequency of adverse drug events, there were also no significant differences between the compared groups, however, in group 2 patients, adverse drug events that had a high probability of being associated with taking the drug were recorded more often than in the group of patients receiving minocycline.
Conclusions. The results of the study demonstrated the comparable effectiveness of minocycline and doxycycline in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia infection and a similar safety profile of these drugs.
JUDICIALIZAÇÃO NA SAÚDE: INTEGRALIDADE VERSUS UNIVERSALISMO, EQUIDADE E PLANEJAMENTO
Authors: Leite Adailton Amaral Barbosa
Published: September 2023

Neste texto pretende-se analisar como, sob o argumento de garantir a alguns indivíduos o exercício de direitos universais, decisões judiciais têm gerado efeitos inversos, ou seja, violam princípios dessas políticas universais e reduzem a capacidade de gestão dessas políticas pelo Estado, comprometendo o interesse público. A judicialização da política é um importante fenômeno contemporâneo, em parte decorrente do processo democrático. Crescentemente o judiciário tem alargado seu raio de ação, constituindo-se em locus de decisões políticas estratégicas. Se a democracia não equivale a uma simples regra de maioria, demandando proteção às minorias, o crescimento da autonomia e poder do judiciário funcionam como um freio às maiorias parlamentares (em países parlamentaristas) ou ao executivo (nos países presidencialistas). Contudo, para além de evitar uma tirania da maioria (ou dos governos), esse processo pode também levar a decisões contrárias ao interesse público.

Objetivo: Verificar a influência das fake news no enfrentamento individual em meio à pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e quali-quantitativo, realizado com 120 participantes entre 18 e 75 anos, os quais receberam um formulário por meio do Método Bola de Neve. O formulário era composto por 3 partes: socioeconômico, checagem de notícias e comportamento durante a pandemia. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA de duas vias e teste de Shapiro-Wilk. Resultados: Dos 120 participantes, 39 selecionaram notícias falsas como verdadeiras, mostrando que informações que gerem uma sensação de segurança foram mais aceitas. Verificamos uma maior aceitação de notícias falsas na faixa dos 36 aos 50 anos. No contexto de tratamento, 25,8% e 11,67% aceitaram a informação que ivermectina e hidroxicloroquina, respectivamente, são efetivas no tratamento da COVID-19. Quanto à renda, há prevalência de 1 a 3 salários-mínimos na crença em notícias falsas, demonstrando que quanto menor a renda familiar, maior a probabilidade de acreditar em fake news. Conclusão: Verificou-se que há uma pequena relação entre faixa etária e crença, embora essa relação seja mais evidente entre renda familiar e crença. Dessa forma, há a necessidade de estudos com grupo mais heterogêneo.

Purpose. To study the effect of various methods of removing ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) in phacoemulsification (PE) of senile cataracts (SC) on intraoperative and early postoperative state of «intraocular lens – posterior lens capsule» (IOL – PLC) interface. Material and methods. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed intraoperative, 2 hours after surgery, on the 1st and 5th days after surgery to study the state of IOL – PLC interface and its parameters in 92 eyes of 92 patients at PE. Results. Intraoperative OCT control showed that when using irrigation and aspiration, full contact IOL – PLC occurred only in 9.8 % of the eyes, after additional impulse-irrigation – in 100 % of the eyes. On the 5th day surgery, significantly better parameters of the IOL – PLC interface (diastasis between the lens and the capsule, size of PLC folds) were detected in the eyes, where IOL pneumocompression was performed as additional method of removing OVD. Conclusion. The study of features of IOL – PLC interface during PE SC and in early postoperative period showed its instability and pronounced variability of the OCT picture. Intraoperative OCT monitoring of state of the IOL – PLC interface revealed greater efficiency of impulseirrigation method in comparison with irrigation and aspiration method in removing OVD from the lens capsule. The use of the method of pneumocompression of the lens capsule made it possible to obtain significantly better indicators of diastasis between the IOL and PLC and the depth of capsule folds 5 days after surgery (p < 0.05).
