Crisis de gobernanza y conservación en el sistema de áreas protegidas de Argentina
Authors: Martín Guillermo , Almirón Marcelo
Published: January 2024

En los ámbitos internacionales se viene proponiendo incrementar la cobertura espacial de los sistemas de áreas protegidas (AP) del planeta como resguardo ante el cambio climático (CC) y para revertir la pérdida de biodiversidad y de servicios ambientales. El sistema nacional de AP de Argentina es el más consolidado del país, al año 2019 cubría 1,52% de toda su superficie continental y junto a 24 sistemas subnacionales sumaban entre todos un 13,06%; actualmente la meta de cobertura del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB) es del 30% para el año 2030. La gobernanza de estas áreas es una de las variables con más potencial para enfrentar los retos ambientales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar la gobernanza predominante en el sistema nacional, conceptualizando valores y criterios reconocidos por sus actores en las últimas décadas. Mediante encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes clave, se observó que los paradigmas en práctica distan de lo recomendado académicamente, los actores que ejecutan las políticas de conservación in situ es crítica. La cobertura y gobernanza actuales constituyen un complejo escenario, en donde las soluciones aparecen distantes, según se grafica en un semáforo indicativo, útil para valorar cualquier sistema de AP.

Published: January 2024

Learning organizations create a phenomenal amount of scholarly knowledge as part of their academic discourse and research activities. This scholarly knowledge must be preserved and made accessible to other members. The absence of tools and strategies to facilitate the storage and accessibility of knowledge and information resources poses lots of challenges for the growth of learning organizations, particularly, learning organizations in Ghana. This study, therefore, sought to assess the deployment of knowledge repositories in learning organizations toward effective knowledge creation, use, sharing, retention, and retrieval. The study employed the triangulation design and online survey research. The triangulation helped in the collection of quantitative data followed by qualitative instruments (interviews) to find answers to pertinent questions and issues that were insufficiently addressed in the questionnaire responses. Nine (9) learning organizations in Ghana participated in this study. The study established that knowledge repositories and technology played critical roles in managing knowledge in learning organizations. However, the knowledge repositories were not user-friendly and fully utilized or accessible for knowledge management practices at the learning organizations. Also, the absence of fully integrated ICT Tools and Infrastructure inhibited the effective promotion of knowledge management initiatives at the learning organizations. The study concludes by developing a knowledge repository architecture for knowledge management in learning organizations.

Published: January 2024

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance has been a hot topic among investors, decision-makers and academics. Factor affecting ESG performance has been largely done but failed to pay attention to the different board governance systems, such as Indonesiaâ€™s board governance system. This paper investigates the contribution of the board gender diversity and board network as well as foreign ownership on ESG performance using blue chip stock (LQ-45) listed in the Indonesia Stock exchange. Seventeen companies with five years of data (2013-2017) participated in this study. Multiple regression analysis is employed, and the result shows that gender diversity on the supervisory board negatively impacts environmental and social performance. Second, the board network on the supervisory board has a positive impact on environmental and social performance, and the board network on the management board has a positive impact on social performance. Third, foreign ownership has a positive effect on governance performance. This research has practical implications where if a company plans to improve ESG performance, it must more effectively select a female supervisory board so that its existence positively impacts ESG performance. In addition, ESG performance can also be increased by appointing a supervisory board who have a high social and professional network so that it can have an impact on ESG performance. Finally, ESG performance can also be improved by increasing foreign ownership. This research contributes to social capital, stakeholder, agency, and resources-dependent theory.

Authors:   Omsk Academy of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation, Omsk, Russia, Vlasov Y. A.
Published: January 2024

The subject of the study is social relations in the protection of an individual, the basics of constitutionality, and the security of the state. The study aims to examine the legal content of extremist motives. The objectives of the study are the following: reading of act attributes in classification of crimes committed to ignite social, racial, national, or religious discord or hatred against any social group. Methods used in the article include studying academic lawyers’ opinions on the issue and selecting and analyzing case materials. At the moment, it is difficult to provide a clear legal criterion for delimitation of positive and negative motives in classifying acts of the perpetrator under regulations with extremist motives. The law enforcer is responsible for resolving this problem by determining the content and legal value of given motives in each specific case during the investigation of a criminal case and legal proceedings. The Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has issuee the directives that propose to establish approximate criteria for distinguishing the motives of political, ideological, racial, national, or religious hatred or enmity, or hatred or enmity in relation to any social group according to a positive and/or negative orientation as applied to socially significant values. Based on the analysis of scientists’ viewpoints and judicial practice, a formalistic approach used by the law enforcer in classifying crimes with extremist motives is identified, which does not reflect the real content of acts in this category. The author substantiates that it is not recommended to classify all crimes against an individual or the security of the state for extremist reasons, despite their direct presence.

Foreign trade of a mono-export region is mainly determined by the export and import of goods and services provided by large enterprises located on its territory, which determine its economic growth and development. At the same time, the export strategy of enterprises in a mono-export region is heavily influenced by the region’s foreign economic activity development strategy. The study aims to identify the strategies of foreign economic activity of mono-exporting Russian regions using the ABC method to identify the geographical component of the export strategy of their large enterprises. As a result of the study, mono-export regions with exceeding 50 % export share in a particular industry were identified; the dependence of geographical component of the export strategy on its geographical location in Russia was determined. Moreover, it is strategically necessary for each mono-export region and its enterprises, to maintain and improve foreign trade relations with their potential partner countries.
POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM OF LAW AS AN ISSUE OF CRIMINAL POLICY
Authors:   Far Eastern Fire and Rescue Academy ‒ Branch of Saint-Petersburg State Fire Service University of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters named after the Hero of the Russian Federation, Army General E.

The study aims to identify the connection between politics and law and the effect of such connection on social and legal reality, including the state and efficacy of criminal policy. The author aims at updating theoretical provisions about the state and law and concepts of legal understanding to determine the discourse of political and legal reality that provides certain properties of law and law enforcement in the battle against crime. The author expands upon this connection using general scientific (analysis, synthesis, comparison) and specific scientific (axiological, historical, sociological, and special legal) methods of scientific knowledge, which allow examining the general and special value content of law and politics. The influence of politics on law can affect the fundamental principles of the law nature. It may lead to a number of unfavorable consequences in the battle against crime, starting from the ineffectiveness of special criminal and criminal legal measures that control the criminalization of society to a state threatening society, which can be defined as the “disbandment” of law. The main issue of modern domestic criminal policy is political opportunism of the law, which is characterized by legislative instability and multidirectional vectors in crime-fighting strategy and tactics. Thus, it endangers the well-being and security of citizens, society, and the state. Legal and political ideas must have a common value content that links law and politics with dialectical unity. In a democratic state governed by the rule of law, law, in its integrative understanding, should be the basis for politics in general and criminal policy in particular.
DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION IN UGRA IN 1760–1800
Authors:   Eсocenter, Megion, Russia, Tsys V. V. ,   Nizhnevartovsk State University, Nizhnevartovsk, Russia
Published: January 2024

The article considers the history of the first educational institutions in Ugra – Latin grammar schools and Russian (Slavic-and-Russian) schools which were intended for children of the clergy mainly. It is noted that the attempts to develop the system of education in the second half of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries cannot be called successful to the full. By the beginning of the 19th century only the fourth part of all male children of the clergy attended educational institutions of different types. Lack of well-trained teaching staff, shortage of textbooks, dispersion of parishes over the vast territory, lack of financing, poverty of church- and clergymen, and the failure to use the achievements of pedagogics in practice prevented schools from development. However, this bad experience had an impact on development of educational institutions in the region later.

Authors:   Surgut State University, Surgut, Russia, Zadorozhnyaya O. A.
Published: January 2024

The relevance of the article lies in the fact that in the scientific literature the issue of establishing educational institutions in the Ob North in the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries is considered in the overall context of the history of education. But the issues of organization and functioning of Surgut men-only specialized school at the premises of a Cossack school are of the utmost interest as far as they allow us to identify the initiators, participants and observers. The article touches not only upon the issues of education and upbringing but also upon the attitude of the township of one of the most important settlements in the north of the Tobolsk province to the educational institutions for boys only. It is highlighted in the article that different layers of the society were aware of the need for increasing the number of literate people for the region development purposes both in the imperial and Soviet periods.

CZECH LITERARY CRITICISM FROM THE EXILE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Slamova Karolina
Published: January 2024

The paper deals with the exile view of Czech literary criticism in the past decades, reflected in two essays: one by Igor Hajek, and the other one by Kvetoslav Chvatik. Igor Hajek (1931�1995), a Czech literary critic, who went to exile in 1969, played a significant role in presenting Czech literature abroad. Kvetoslav Chvatik (1930�2012) was a Czech philosopher, aesthetician, art historian, and literary theorist. Hajek taught at universities in the English-speaking world, while Chvatik worked in a German-speaking environment. Two periods are covered and compared in the paper: the first period, the period of pluralistic democracy and the resulting cultural structure when the literary criticism contributed to the fact that Czech literature reached the European level, and the period after February 1948 when the ruling ideology started to interfere in the development of literature. Two completely contradictory conceptions are described showing the radical changes that took place in literary criticism after 1948. The text looks at the role of literary criticism in an era when plurality of opinion is possible, and at the impact of the suppression of freedom of speech on the work of literary critics. It also shows how the process of the shift of literary criticism towards its true function in the spirit of democratising tendencies had gradually won its way.
THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS OR, WHEN TEACHERS IN THEIR PRIME (MURIEL SPARK) NEVER LET GO (KAZUO ISHIGURO) IN HARD TIMES (CHARLES DICKENS)
Authors: Necula Lidia Mihaela
Published: January 2024

Years and writing signatures apart, it would seem that Charles Dickens�s Hard Times has very little to do, if anything, with Muriel Spark�s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and/ or with Kazuo Ishiguro�s Never Let me Go for that matter. And yet, all of these three novels operate, in various degrees, with what seems to have always been a common life principle for many, regardless of the temporal or geographic co(n)text at hand.
Dicken�s Hard Times portrays characters who prioritize facts, figures, and material gain over the emotional and moral aspects of life. The utilitarian approach of valuing measurable outcomes and productivity above all else is presented as dehumanizing and detrimental to individuals and society. Although it does not directly pursue a utilitarian philosophy, The Prime of Miss Brodie does shed light on the complexities of personal influence and the potential consequences of actions: as a character, Miss Brodie raises questions about the ethical implications of pursuing personal ambitions at the expense of others and the limitations of an individualistic approach to achieving happiness and fulfilment. And true as it may be that Muriel Spark�s novel does not directly address utilitarianism as a philosophical concept, it is possible to analyse Miss Brodie, her actions, her beliefs as well as her impact on her students from a utilitarian perspective since the latter emphasizes the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
Finally, Ishiguro�s speculative Never Let Me Go presents a dystopian society where clones are created for the sole purpose of providing organ donations to others thus raising further questions about the ethics of sacrificing a few for the well-being of many, as well as the nature of humanity and the value of individual lives.
Every single one of these three novels explores utilitarian philosophies of life by looking into the aftermath entailed by the prioritizing of individuals� happiness and pleasure (on a small scale), or of societal well-being (on a large scale). Therein, readers are challenged to reflect upon the complexities and ethical dilemmas inherent in pursuing the greatest good for the greatest number.
The end justifies the means can be seen operating in various degrees and in different ways in all three texts, reflecting back the unique contexts and themes of their respective stories. Seen like this, these novels become lenses mediating ethical dilemmas, obliquely criticising societal norms or raising awareness to the consequences of sacrificing individual rights and moral considerations for the sake of societal or personal goals.

Published: January 2024

The article discusses the the complex character of Chinese advertising slogans in the light of linguocognitive approach. It is considered of vital importance to conduct (1) semiotic analysis to find out the amount of monosemiotic and polysemiotic slogans, with denotative or/and connotative meanings; (2) pragmatic analysis to identify illocutionary acts, according to which the slogans can be classified as promising, having emotional and evaluative influences, informing and stimulating; (3) the analysis of cultural and national specifics, that reveal the expression of Confucian values in advertising slogans, selfidentity, references to history, national symbols. According to the carried research, the analysed slogans are defined as mostly polysemiotic, the information in which is expressed connotatively, through images, comparisons, metaphors and reference to the cultural specifics of the nation. The Chinese advertisements on Covid 19 Vaccination use a variety of different types of illocutionary acts to persuade recipients: the largest share occupy slogans promising the recipients life, health, a better future, etc. In addition, Chinese advertising slogans are characteristic of strong appeal to cultural, historical and national identity and properties.

Authors: Smetanova Eva , Baranovska Andrea
Published: January 2024

The research addresses the possibility of using storytelling in developing abilities and skills of bilingual children. The ability of children to read and listen with understanding in several languages is reflected in a positive sense in the development of their personality and language characteristics. In our research, we monitored the enlargement of a vocabulary range in different languages, the use of symbolic elements of speech compared to their age, and the use of other language devices on a research sample of six children. We also focused on whether a bilingual environment helps to develop overall communication competence and how this is reflected in the formation of personality traits and characteristics. The purpose of the research was also to determine the success of the storytelling method and the selection of images depending on the cultural background and age of the children. The results were significantly influenced by the cultural knowledge of images in one language and the possibility to use creativity when not recognizing them.

Determinants of Green Technology Diffusion and Green Trade
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, h h , h h
Published: January 2024

Purpose - This study aims to explore the factors that contribute to the international diffusion of green technology and further analyze the relationship between green technology diffusion and green trade. Previous studies and theoretical foundations suggest that economic, technological, and institutional environments are important factors influencing the diffusion of green technology among countries. For this study, trade openness, intellectual property protection, the level of development of information and communication technology (ICT), research and development (R&D) investment, environmental regulations, and environmental norms were used as the key factors in the diffusion of green technology. In addition, a comparative analysis of OECD and non-OECD countries is conducted.
Design/methodology - Panel data were collected from 58 countries for the period 2007-2019. The empirical analysis consists of two parts, first exploring the drivers of green technology diffusion using the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) method, and then analyzing the linkage between green technology diffusion and green trade using the two-stage least squares (2SLS) model. The demand for green technology is expected to vary among countries because of their different economic development levels and goals. A comparative analysis was conducted based on the classification of countries by the level of economic development.
Findings - We found that the level of intellectual property protection, R&D investment and environmental norms contribute positively to the diffusion of green technology. However, there is a negative correlation between trade openness, environmental regulations and green technology diffusion. Green technology diffusion positively affects green trade. Moreover, the positive impact of green technology diffusion on green trade is more pronounced in non-OECD countries than in OECD countries.
Originality/value - Previous studies have focused on technology transfer and green technology innovation at the firm level; however, research on green technology diffusion is insufficient. This study investigated the determinants of green technology diffusion at the national level. The study also explored the relationship between green technology diffusion and green trade. It helps to fill the gap in the literature on green technology diffusion and provides a reference for future studies. Additionally, our findings offer valuable guidance for government and corporate decision-makers in formulating strategies for the transfer of green technologies and sustainable development initiatives.

Currently kiwifruit picking process mainly leverages manual labour, which has low productivity and high human effort, meanwhile the existing kiwifruit picking machinery also has low picking efficiency and easily damages fruits. In this regard, a multi-fruit envelope-cutting kiwifruit picking end-effector was designed by applying TRIZ assistance in this paper. First, a common kiwifruit picking end-effector was selected as a prototype, the functional analysis method of TRIZ was applied to discover the functional defects of the prototype, after which TRIZ solution tools such as technical contradiction analysis, substance-field analysis, and trimming were applied to improve and innovate, a kiwifruit picking end-effector for automatically recognizing fruits-enveloping fruit clusters-cutting and separating fruit stalks was designed to pick kiwifruit in clusters. Then, ADAMS was applied to perform gait simulation of the end-effector picking action to verify the smoothness and coherence of the picking process. Finally, a kiwifruit picking test stand was set up to conduct picking tests in the form of fruit clusters. The results showed that the average time to pick each cluster of fruit was 8.8s, the picking success rate was 89.3%, and the picking damage rate was 6.0%. All the indicators were better than the prototype and met the expected design requirements.

Published: January 2024

Yaratıcı sektör çalışanları bir kentin ekonomisinin büyümesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır ve yaratıcı sınıfın göçü, modern ekonomilerdeki ekonomik göçün önemli bir boyutudur. Üstün yetenekli insanlar diğer çalışanlara göre daha hareketlidir ve mekânsal tercihleri de diğer çalışanlara göre farklılık göstermektedir. Kentlerde yaratıcı sınıfın göç eğilimlerini etkileyen çok sayıda etken bulunmaktadır. Florida’nın (2002) belirttiği tolerans, yetenek ve teknoloji değişkenleri kentlerin çekiciliğini belirlemekte ve kentlerde yumuşak ve sert etkenler yaratıcı sınıfın yer seçim tercihlerinde etkili olabilmektedir. Daha iyi gelir ve yaşam standartlarının yanı sıra bir dizi faktör söz konusudur. Bu faktörleri bütünsel olarak içeren bir üst çerçeve olarak “Yaşam Kalitesi (Quality of Life – QoL)” yaratıcı sınıfın yer seçimlerinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Aynı zamanda yaşam standartlarının yükselmesine katkı sağlamaları nedeniyle yaratıcı sınıf farklı kentlerden diğer yaratıcı profesyonellerin de ilgisini çeken çoğaltan etki ile bir mıknatıs ortamı yaratmaktadır. Yaratıcı sektörler açısından İstanbul, İzmir’e kıyasla daha büyük bir paya sahiptir. Ancak son dönemde yaratıcı profesyoneller İstanbul’dan İzmir’e göç etme eğilimindedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’dan İzmir’e yaratıcı sınıfın göç eğilimlerini incelemek suretiyle kültür ve yaratıcı endüstriler açısından liderlik eden bir şehirdeki yaratıcı sınıfın hangi gerekçelerle kültür ekonomisi açısından daha geriden gelen bir kente göç ettiğini yaşam kalitesi parametreleri üzerinden çözümlemektir. İstanbul’dan İzmir’e yaratıcı sınıfın göç eğilimlerini yaşam kalitesi göstergeleri üzerinden inceleyerek Yaratıcı Göç Teorisi parametreleri ile yerel deneyimin (İstanbul’dan İzmir’e göç deneyiminin) örtüşüp örtüşmediği sorusunun cevabı aranmaktadır. Yapılan araştırma, İstanbul'dan İzmir'e yaratıcı göçün farklı nedenleri ve motivasyonları olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgular, İstanbul’dan İzmir’e göç eden yaratıcı sınıfın göç nedenlerinin sosyal, çevresel, ekonomik ve fiziksel açıdan memnuniyet düzeyleri ve yaşam standartlarıyla ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. İzmir, Yaratıcı Sınıf Teorisi’ne ve Yaşam Kalitesi parametrelerine göre öne çıkan bir kent olmamasına rağmen, yaratıcı sınıf için çekim yaratmaktadır. İzmir, yaratıcı göç mıknatısı gibi işlev görmesiyle yaratıcı sınıf hareketliliğine asimetrik bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.
Fatal Occupational Accidents in Turkey from a City and Country Perpective
Authors: CEYLAN Hüseyin , KAPLAN Ahmet
Published: January 2024

Occupational accidents and death cases resulting from occupational accidents are among the most critical factors threatening work peace. Occupational accidents cause injury, disability and even death for many employees. In 2021, 1394 employees died due to occupational accidents in Turkey, while 3123 became permanently incapacitated, that is, disabled for life. In addition, tens of thousands of employees were injured in occupational accidents, resulting in temporary incapacitation and exposing them and their families to emotional distress. The fact that occupational accidents are preventable events to a large extent makes the incidents caused by occupational accidents, such as death, loss of limb, and severe injury due to occupational accidents, even more tragic. Especially multiple-fatality occupational accidents are accepted as an indicator of the importance countries place on human life. Human life is above any economic value. Turkey is the country with the worst performance in Europe in terms of fatal occupational accident incidence rates. For all these reasons, in this study, fatal occupational accidents in Turkey in 2012-2022 were analyzed with the Health and Safety Labour Watch-Turkey (HESA Labour Watch) data. In addition, Social Security Institution (SSI) data for 2012-2021 was compared with the HESA Labour Watch data, and it was examined whether fatal occupational accidents were officially recorded. Finally, using official SSI data, Turkey and EU-27 countries were compared regarding the number of death cases resulting from occupational accidents and fatal occupational accident incidence rates. The study revealed the following results; Some of the fatal occupational accidents cannot be recorded in Turkey, After the OSH law, the number of death cases as a result of occupational accidents increased, compared to the EU-27 countries, Turkey has the worst performance in terms of both the number of death cases as a result of occupational accidents and the fatal accidents incidence rate.

This study aims to determine the disaster preparedness level of hospitals in Türkiye and to determine whether the disaster preparedness of the hospitals differs according to the characteristics of the hospital, such as its ownership, role, and bed capacity. All hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health constitute the universe of the study. 210 hospitals were selected as the sample. The data were collected from the managers of the hospitals, or the personnel assigned by them with survey method. As a data collection form, the Turkish version of the guide named 'Hospital emergency response checklist: An all-hazards tool for hospital administrators and emergency managers' developed by the World Health Organization was used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the average score of the hospitals was 156.83±21.43. The highest average score was obtained from the command control (12.93±1.37) sub-dimension and the lowest average score was obtained from the human resources (22.48±4.80) sub-dimension. When the hospitals were evaluated according to their characteristics, it was determined that the difference between the total disaster preparedness scores according to the number of patients per day per nurse was significant.

Introducción: Los tumores presacros son entidades frecuentes con diferentes etiologías, sin un abordaje quirúrgico establecido, habiendo relativamente poca experiencia en el manejo y en el seguimiento y resultados postoperatorios.Objetivo: Reportar el resultado en forma descriptiva del manejo de este tipo de lesiones en el Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile.Material y método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y de carácter retrospectivo, de serie de casos, analizando la base de datos de cirugías en los últimos 15 años, excluyendo a pacientes con tumores óseos y operados por otros equipos. Se utilizó estadística simple y descriptiva para el análisis.Resultados: Se operaron 23 pacientes en los últimos 15 años, 12 por vía transabdominal, 9 resueltos por vía abierta y 3 por vía laparoscópica. Los restantes 11 fueron resueltos con abordaje posterior, siendo el de Kraske usado en todos los pacientes. El seguimiento promedio fue de 16 meses. 4 pacientes registraron recurrenciaConclusiones: Los tumores presacros representan un desafío en términos de diagnóstico y manejo quirúrgico, siendo el estudio preoperatorio con imágenes más examen físico, determinante en el manejo quirúrgico del mismo. Debe considerarse abordajes transabdominales en aquellos tumores mayores de 10 cm y en aquellos en que se sospeche fuertemente malignidad, lo que no contraindica la vía laparoscópica. En caso de abordaje posterior, siempre descartar lesiones incidentales de recto, por lo que el examen anorrectal intraoperatorio debería es obligatorio.

Objetivo: Describir la experiencia en cirugía colorrectal resectiva laparoscópica en mayores de 75 años durante los años 2004 a 2019 en Clínica INDISA.Material y Método: Estudio transversal de las cirugías electivas por vía laparoscópica en mayores de 75 años, en los que se realizó anastomosis colorrectal, basado en el registro clínico electrónico.Resultados: Un total de 48 cirugías completamente laparoscópicas, la mayoría por cáncer colorrectal (CCR) (89,6%), mostraron indicadores de calidad óptima en la cosecha ganglionar en el 73,2%. Con una mediana de estadía de 6 días y una mortalidad a 30 días de 2,1% (un caso), comparable a las series internacionales.Discusión: El abordaje laparoscópico en pacientes ancianos tiene beneficios por sobre la vía abierta y presenta morbimortalidad aceptable. El balance intraoperatorio entre riesgo/seguridad quirúrgica y pronóstico oncológico es un factor a tener en cuenta en la toma de decisiones, junto con las patologías inherentes al grupo etario y la reserva funcional de cada paciente en particular.Conclusión: Se trata de la primera serie nacional de pacientes sobre 75 años sometidos a cirugía colorrectal resectiva electiva vía laparoscópica. Es factible y seguro en estos pacientes realizar cirugía mínimamente invasiva con morbimortalidad aceptable. La edad por sí sola no representa una contraindicación para la cirugía colorrectal laparoscópica. Es necesario contar con estudios de mayor volumen para conocer mejor la realidad nacional y los resultados a largo plazo.

Introducción: La úlcera por presión de talón es de difícil resolución por ser zona de apoyo especialmente cuando existe exposición de calcáneo. Una solución para esta patología es el colgajo fasciocutáneo en cono que es fácil , reproducible y segura.Material y método: Se operó a 12 pacientes con este tipo de úlcera entre 2016 y 2022, siendo 10 hombres y 2 mujeres con edades entre 35 y 65 años portadores de paraplejia. En 6 de Ellos hubo osteomielitis de calcáneo que requirió de tratamiento antibiótico por 6 semanas. En todos ellos se practicó el colgajo en cono, descrito por el autor principal. Técnica quirúrgica: Primeramente se realiza desbridamiento  quirúrgico de la zona afectada. Posteriormente se practica el colgajo en cono que consiste en dos colgajos fasciocutáneos: uno de rotación , que cubre la lesión,  el defecto dejado por éste es cubierto con un colgajo en avance en V-Y.Resultados: Todos los colgajos sobrevivieron sin signos de necrosis. No hubo recurrencia de las úlceras. La osteomielitis cedió con tratamiento antibiótico.Discusión: La exposición del calcáneo producto de una úlcera por presión de talón  es de difícil tratamiento por ser una zona de apoyo constante .El tratamiento con el colgajo fasciocutáneo en cono ha probado ser de fácil resolución, reproducible y seguro para cubrir exposición de calcáneo.Conclusión: El tratamiento quirúrgico de la úlcera por presión  de talón con el colgajo en cono es un procedimiento efectivo, reproducible, seguro y sin recidiva en  nuestra casuística.
Cáncer en quiste tirogloso, con tiroides agenésica y nódulo ectópico. Caso clínico.
Authors: Lobos Asenjo Pablo Antonio
Published: January 2024

Introducción: La glándula tiroides tiene su origen embriológico en la base de la lengua, desde donde desciende al cuello. Este proceso migratorio puede detenerse o continuar más allá, dando diferentes cuadros de tiroides ectópica. El quiste tirogloso es la alteración embriológica más frecuente en el cuello, pudiendo desarrollar cáncer como una complicación rara.Caso clínico: Paciente de 21 años con aumento de volumen cervical, se diagnostica quiste tirogloso, la biopsia identifica cáncer papilar en el quiste. Se decide completar tiroidectomía, se objetiva agenesia de glándula. Ante respuesta bioquímica incompleta se realiza cintigrama que identifica nódulo retrolingual, el cual es resecado.Discusión: La resección del quiste tirogloso se debe realizar según la descripción de Sistrunk para evitar recidivas. La historia natural del cáncer en quiste tirogloso es bastante menos conocida y podría tener un peor pronóstico que el cáncer tiroideo habitual. Existen grupos que defienden la necesidad de completar tiroidectomía y eventualmente realizar disecciones cervicales como parte de su manejo.Conclusión: El cáncer de quiste tirogloso es una patología infrecuente, Existen diferentes lineas de manejo que se discuten en la literatura. Aún el análisis individualizado de los pacientes en comités multidisciplinario de expertos es la conducta sugerida.
