Adding value to extended-range forecasts in northern Europe by statistical post-processing using stratospheric observations
Authors: Korhonen Natalia , Hyvärinen Otto , Kämäräinen Matti , Richardson David S. , Järvinen Heikki , Gregow Hilppa
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The strength of the stratospheric polar vortex influences the
surface weather in the Northern Hemisphere in winter; a weaker (stronger)
than average stratospheric polar vortex is connected to negative (positive)
Arctic Oscillation (AO) and colder (warmer) than average surface
temperatures in northern Europe within weeks or months. This holds the
potential for forecasting in that timescale. We investigate here if the
strength of the stratospheric polar vortex at the start of the forecast
could be used to improve the extended-range temperature forecasts of the
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and to find
periods with higher prediction skill scores. For this, we developed a
stratospheric wind indicator (SWI) based on the strength of the stratospheric
polar vortex and the phase of the AO during the following weeks. We
demonstrate that there was a statistically significant difference in the
observed surface temperature in northern Europe within the 3–6 weeks,
depending on the SWI at the start of the forecast. When our new SWI was applied in post-processing the ECMWF's 2-week mean
temperature reforecasts for weeks 3–4 and 5–6 in northern Europe
during boreal winter, the skill scores of those weeks were slightly
improved. This indicates there is some room for improving the extended-range
forecasts, if the stratosphere–troposphere links were better captured in the
modelling. In addition to this, we found that during the boreal winter, in
cases where the polar vortex was weak at the start of the forecast, the mean skill
scores of the 3–6 weeks' surface temperature forecasts were higher than
average.
Microbial functional signature in the atmospheric boundary layer
Authors: Tignat-Perrier Romie , Dommergue Aurélien , Thollot Alban , Magand Olivier , Vogel Timothy M. , Larose Catherine
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and some airborne microbial cells were shown to be particularly resistant to atmospheric physical and chemical conditions (e.g., UV radiation, desiccation, presence of radicals). In addition to surviving, some cultivable microorganisms of airborne origin were shown to be able to grow on atmospheric chemicals in laboratory experiments. Metagenomic investigations have been used to identify specific signatures of microbial functional potential in different ecosystems. We conducted a preliminary comparative metagenomic study on the overall microbial functional potential and specific metabolic and stress-related microbial functions of atmospheric microorganisms in order to determine whether airborne microbial communities possess an atmosphere-specific functional potential signature as compared to other ecosystems (i.e. soil, sediment, snow, feces, surface seawater etc.). In absence of a specific atmospheric signature, the atmospheric samples collected at nine sites around the world were similar to their underlying ecosystems. In addition, atmospheric samples were characterized by a relatively high proportion of fungi. The higher proportion of sequences annotated as genes involved in stress-related functions (i.e. functions related to the response to desiccation, UV radiation, oxidative stress etc.) resulted in part from the high concentrations of fungi that might resist and survive atmospheric physical stress better than bacteria.

Published: July 2020

Abstract. The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) is a ubiquitous feature of phytoplankton vertical distribution in stratified waters that is relevant for our understanding of the mechanisms that underpin the variability in photoautotroph ecophysiology across environmental gradients and has implications for remote sensing of aquatic productivity. During the PEACETIME (Process studies at the air-sea interface after dust deposition in the Mediterranean Sea) cruise, carried out from 10 May to 11 June 2017, we obtained 23 concurrent vertical profiles of phytoplankton chlorophyll a, carbon biomass and primary production, as well as heterotrophic prokaryotic production, in the western and central Mediterranean basins. Our main aims were to quantify the relative role of photoacclimation and enhanced growth as underlying mechanisms of the DCM and to assess the trophic coupling between phytoplankton and heterotrophic prokaryotic production. We found that the DCM coincided with a maximum in both biomass and primary production but not in growth rate of phytoplankton, which averaged 0.3 d−1 and was relatively constant across the euphotic layer. Photoacclimation explained most of the increased chlorophyll a at the DCM, as the carbon to chlorophyll a ratio (C:Chl a) decreased from ca. 90–100 (g:g) at the surface to 20–30 at the base of the euphotic layer, while phytoplankton carbon biomass increased from ca. 6 mgC m−3 at the surface to 10–15 mgC m−3 at the DCM. As a result of photoacclimation, there was an uncoupling between chlorophyll a-specific and carbon-specific productivity across the euphotic layer. The fucoxanthin to total chlorophyll a ratio increased markedly with depth, as did the biomass contribution of large cells, suggesting a dominance of diatoms at the DCM. The increased biomass and carbon fixation at the base of the euphotic zone was associated with enhanced rates of heterotrophic prokaryotic activity, which also showed a surface peak linked with warmer temperatures. Considering the phytoplankton biomass and turnover rates measured at the DCM, nutrient diffusive fluxes across the nutricline were able to supply only a minor fraction of the photoautotroph nitrogen and phosphorus requirements. Thus the deep maxima in biomass and primary production were not fueled by new nutrients, but likely resulted from cell sinking from the upper layers in combination with the high photosynthetic efficiency of a diatom-rich, low-light acclimated community largely sustained by regenerated nutrients. Further studies with increased temporal and spatial resolution will be required to ascertain if the deep primary production peaks associated with the DCM persist across the western and central Mediterranean Sea throughout the stratification season.
Water transport among the world ocean basins within the water
cycle
Authors: García-García David , Vigo Isabel , Trottini Mario
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Global water cycle involves water-mass transport on land, atmosphere, ocean, and among them. Quantification of such transport, and especially its time evolution, is essential to identify footprints of the climate change and helps to constrain and improve climatic models. In the ocean, net water-mass transport among the ocean basins is a key, but poorly estimated parameter presently. We propose a new methodology that incorporates the time-variable gravity observations from the GRACE satellite (2003–2016) to estimate the change of water content, and that overcomes some fundamental limitations of existing approaches. We show that the Pacific and Arctic Oceans receive an average of 1916 (95 % confidence interval [1812, 2021] Gt/month (~0.72 ± 0.02 Sv) of excess freshwater from the atmosphere and the continents that gets discharged into the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, where net evaporation minus precipitation returns the water to complete the cycle. This is in contrast to previous GRACE-based studies, where the notion of a seesaw mass exchange between the Pacific and Atlantic/Indian Oceans has been reported. Seasonal climatology as well as the interannual variability of water-mass transport are also reported.
Fast and efficient MATLAB-based MPM solver (fMPMM-solver
v1.0)
Authors: Wyser Emmanuel , Jaboyedoff Michel , Podladchikov Yury Y.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. In this contribution, we present an efficient MATLAB-based implementation of the material point method (MPM) and its most recent variants. MPM has gained popularity over the last decade, especially for problems in solid mechanics in which large deformations are involved, i.e., cantilever beam problems, granular collapses and even large-scale snow avalanches. Although its numerical accuracy is lower than that of the widely accepted finite element method (FEM), MPM has been proven useful in overcoming some of the limitations of FEM, such as excessive mesh distortions. We demonstrate that MATLAB is an efficient high-level language for MPM implementations that solve elasto-dynamic and elasto-plastic problems, such as the cantilever beam and granular collapses, respectively. We report a computational efficiency factor of 20 for a vectorized code compared to a classical iterative version. In addition, the numerical efficiency of the solver surpassed those of previously reported MPM implementations in Julia, ad minima 2.5 times faster under a similar computational architecture.
Salmonella osteomyelitis of the distal radius in a healthy pregnant woman
Authors: Sakamoto Akio , Chigusa Yoshitsugu , Noguchi Takashi , Matsuda Shuichi
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Although characteristic,
Salmonella is a rare cause of
osteomyelitis, especially in healthy individuals. A
25-year old primigravida at 29 weeks' gestation noticed pain and swelling in her right wrist. Her leukocyte count was normal, but her C-reactive protein
level was slightly elevated, at 1.1 mg dL−1 (normal range, <0.2 mg dL−1). Plain radiography showed an osteolytic lesion in the distal radius,
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an extraosseous fluid collection
with bone edema in addition to the osseous lesion.
After a needle biopsy was performed, the skin overlying the lesion became
ulcerated at the site of the needle tract. We drained whitish pus from the
site; both this pus and the original biopsy specimen grew
Salmonella on culture. We diagnosed
Salmonella osteomyelitis and began intravenous
antibiotic therapy, avoiding oral quinolones to prevent fetotoxicity. Her
symptoms resolved, as did the bone edema and fluid collection. Ossification
occurred at the site of osteolysis, with localized abnormal signal intensity
persisting on MRI. This rare case of Salmonella osteomyelitis was treated without
surgery; the patient's pregnancy influenced the treatment course.
Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) planktonic foraminifera from the northwest Australian margin
Authors: Apthorpe Marjorie
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to document three
well-preserved morphotypes of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) planktonic
foraminifera from the continental margin of northwestern Australia. This
location is on the southern shelf of the Middle Jurassic Tethys Ocean, and
these occurrences of planktonic or meroplanktonic species are the first to
be reported from the Jurassic of the Southern Hemisphere. The morphotypes
include a new subspecies of Globuligerina bathoniana (Pazdrowa): Globuligerina bathoniana australiana n. ssp. Two other taxa are also
described: Globuligerina altissapertura n. sp. and Mermaidogerina loopae n. gen. n. sp. The microstructure of the wall is
shown in scanning electron microscope images. The change from chamber to
chamber in the formation of the surface ornament by secondary lamination,
and its subsequent burial within the wall, is demonstrated in detail.
Laboratory study of non-linear wave-wave interactions of extreme
focused waves in the nearshore zone
Authors: Abroug Iskander , Abcha Nizar , Jarno Armelle , Marin François
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Extreme waves play a crucial role in marine inundation hazards and coastal erosion. In this article, we experimentally study nonlinear wave-wave interactions of large amplitude focused wave groups propagating in a two-dimensional wave flume over a mild slope (β = 1:25). The influence of the frequency spectrum and the steepness on the nonlinear interactions of focused waves are examined. The generated wave trains correspond to Pierson-Moskowitz and JONSWAP (γ = 3.3 or γ = 7) spectra. Subsequently, we experimentally approach this problem by the use of a bispectral analysis applied on short time series, via the wavelet-based bicoherence parameter, which identifies and quantifies the phase coupling resulting from non-resonant or bound triad interactions with the peak frequency. The bispectral analysis shows that the number of frequency components involved in the focusing process and the resulting phase coupling increases gradually and approaches 1 just prior to breaking, accordingly with the spectrum broadening and the energy increase in high frequency components. Downstream breaking, the values of phase coupling between the peak frequency and its higher harmonics decrease drastically and the bicoherence spectrum becomes less structured.
An Early Warning Sign of Critical Transition in
The Antarctic Ice Sheet –
A New Data Driven Tool for Spatiotemporal Tipping Point
Authors: AlMomani Abd AlRahman , Bollt Erik
Published: July 2020

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a new tool for data-driven discovery of early warning signs of critical transitions in ice shelves, from remote sensing data. Our approach adopts principles of directed spectral clustering methodology considering an asymmetric affinity matrix and the associated directed graph Laplacian. We applied our approach generally to reprocess the ice velocity data and remote sensing satellite images of the Larsen C ice shelf. Our results allow us to (post-cast) predict fault lines responsible for the critical transitions leading to the break up of the Larsen C ice shelf crack, which resulted in the A68 iceberg. We can do so, months earlier before the actual occurrence, and also much earlier than any other previously available methodology, in particular those based on interferometry.
Physics-based modeling of Antarctic snow and firn density
Authors: Keenan Eric , Wever Nander , Dattler Marissa , Lenaerts Jan T. M. , Medley Brooke , Kuipers Munneke Peter , Reijmer Carleen
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Estimates of snow and firn density are required for satellite altimetry based retrievals of ice sheet mass balance that rely on volume to mass conversions. Therefore, biases and errors in presently used density models confound assessments of ice sheet mass balance, and by extension, ice sheet contribution to sea level rise. Despite this importance, most contemporary firn densification models rely on simplified semi-empirical methods, which are partially reflected by significant modeled density errors when compared to observations. In this study, we present a new, wind-driven, drifting snow compaction scheme that we have implemented into SNOWPACK, a physics-based land surface snow model. We demonstrate high-quality simulation of near-surface Antarctic snow firn density at 122 observed density profiles across the Antarctic ice sheet, as indicated by reduced model biases throughout most of the near-surface firn column when compared to two semi-empirical firn densification models. Because SNOWPACK is physics-based, its performance does not degrade when applied to sites without observations used in the calibration of semi-empirical models, and could therefore better represent firn properties in locations without extensive observations and under future climate scenarios, in which firn properties are expected to diverge from their present state.

Published: July 2020

Background: Health care workers stand out in recent studies as a function of high rates of workplace violence. Objective: To calculate the prevalence of workplace violence involving health care workers and associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study with municipal health care workers in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected in interviews from December 2016 through March 2017. Variable workplace violence was considered as outcome on univariate and multivariate analysis. Descriptive and analytical statistical techniques were used (Poisson regression). Results: The study population comprised 203 municipal health care workers (79% response rate). The prevalence of workplace violence was 40.4–47.9% for women and 22.0% for men. Occupational factors associated with violence were job satisfaction, support at work and psychological demands. Conclusion: The prevalence rates we found and associated factors point to the relevance of health protection policies targeting this category of workers which may contribute to mitigate the negative effects of violence on the health of workers and consequently on the quality of care delivery.

Published: July 2020

Background: Demands as to productivity transform the work environment more and more stressful, and negatively impact on the motivation of workers and the performance of their work activities. Initiatives seek to consolidate advances in policies for comprehensive care for workers health, with actions to prevent injuries and promote health. Offering workers a Labor Gymnastics Program (PGL), which is not restricted to attention to musculoskeletal disorders, becomes a tool to encourage change in habits. Aim: To identify possible changes in workers habits after the implementation of a PGL. Method: 41 workers in the administrative area and support from a teaching hospital in the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul answered the questionnaire. The questionnaire includes variables on eating habits, displacement and physical activity, applied before and after intervention. The sessions were held during the workday, with frequency of three times a week, on alternate days, for 4 months, composed of physical activities and information on dietary reeducation, postural education, body awareness and the importance of regular physical activity. Results: There is a predominance of females (61.0%), and age of 33.5±10.2 years. Changes in some habits were identified: increase in the number of workers who practice regular physical activity (p=0.01), increase in the duration and frequency of activity (p=0.04), and maintenance / reduction in the frequency of consumption of “Embedded” (p=0.03). Conclusion: It was possible to identify positive changes in workers habits after the implementation of the PGL, suggesting that it is an important strategy in the field of health promotion.

Authors: Reia Marta , Fialho Guilherme , Capote Hugo , Coelho Amelia , Barbosa Ilda
Published: July 2020

The most frequent sites of breast cancer metastasis are the bone, lung and liver. Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system and adrenal glands are rare, the gastrointestinal tract more frequently with being affected by lobular breast cancer metastasis, and rarely by ductal breast cancer. The case reports a 52-year-old female patient, previously diagnosed with locally advanced ductal breast carcinoma - cT4N+M0, who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by modified radical mastectomy – ypT2N3aM0 – and adjuvant radiotherapy. During follow-up there were no signs of recurrence, but the patient experienced several episodes of sub-acute intestinal obstruction, which resolved with medical treatment. In 2017, January the patient had another intestinal obstruction, but this time a laparotomy was performed, and two small bowel metastasis were found, which were resected. The pathologic exam revealed metastasis from ductal breast cancer. In the article have we discussed the patterns of breast cancer metastasis, with special consideration for gastrointestinal tract.
Laparoscopy is a safe option in selected small bowel obstructions: A case report
Authors: Tanveer Amin , Fisher Mikhail
Published: July 2020

Traditionally, exploratory laparotomy has been the mainstay of treatment for patients requiring surgery in the emergency setting; however with increased benefits of laparoscopic approach, surgeons are more tempted to use laparoscopy in the emergency setting also. A 51–year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain secondary to small bowel obstruction by a foreign body. The patient underwent a laparoscopic operation and removal of foreign body by a small enterotomy without any complications and made a good recovery. This case and review of literature demonstrates that laparoscopic approach is a feasible option for treatment and diagnosis of selected small bowel obstructions.

Authors: Park Jihyoung , Ho Lee Kwang , Wang Wikwang , Woo Jung Sang , Ho Choi June , Kyo Lim Hyun
Published: July 2020

Introduction: The maintenance of ventilation through the endotracheal tube during surgery is essential, and failure to do so can cause serious consequences.
Case Report: We experienced a case of intraoral kinking of the polyvinyl chloride, single-lumen endotracheal tube (ETT) in a patient with severe tracheal deviation caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. During surgery, the operation table was tilted upward and to the left, which caused change in patient’s head position and led to intraoral kinking.
Conclusion: If there is a severe tracheal deviation expected to cause deformity of the ETT, it is recommended to use a reinforced tube.
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency: First report of this rare metabolic disorder in Kingdom of Bahrain with novel mutation
Authors: Alsahlawi Z. , Aljishi E. , Aljufairi M. , Naser H. , Häberle J.
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) is the first enzyme of the urea cycle, which is the pathway responsible for excess nitrogen detoxification and arginine synthesis. Deficiency of CPS1 will cause severe hyperammonemia often already on the first few days after birth. The majority of patients with CPS1 deficiency have a neonatal presentation with encephalopathy and lethargy due to severe hyperammonemia. These patients usually require intensive care treatment with nitrogen scavenging medication and hemodialysis but despite this, the outcome of these cases is guarded.
Case Report: Here we report the first case of CPS1 deficiency in a newborn Bahraini girl who was manifesting on the 3rd day of life with encephalopathy, seizures, and hyperammonemia. She was treated with nitrogen scavenging medication and peritoneal dialysis leading to a decrease of the ammonia level. After starting carglumic acid (Carbaglu), which is the allosteric activator of the urea cycle, the metabolic situation was further improved. Unfortunately, the patient had already sustained severe neurological sequelae and expired after one month. Her diagnosis of a defect in CPS1 was suspected based on the biochemical profile and finally confirmed with the finding of a novel mutation in the CPS1 gene.
Conclusion: Hyperammonemia is an acute metabolic emergency and often caused by a UCD that should always be part of the differential diagnosis. We report here the first CPS1 deficiency case, confirmed genetically, in Bahrain with novel mutation.
Condomínio especializado para pessoa idosa: morar ou não morar? Eis a questão! Um estudo de caso em Viçosa, MG, Brasil.

Published: July 2020

Dados do IBGE revelam que o Brasil está passando por uma inversão em sua pirâmide etária e juntamente com o envelhecimento da população o país experimenta, também, o aumento da expectativa de vida. Essa nova realidade exige atenção especial do poder público e da sociedade para atender às novas demandas daqueles que estão envelhecendo. Assim, buscou-se conhecer como pensam os idosos de Viçosa a respeito de morar em um condomínio especialmente projetado eles. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, com os participantes das atividades do “Clube da Vovó” e do “Programa Municipal da Terceira Idade–PMTI”, utilizando-se da entrevista semiestruturada, analisadas com o auxílio do software IRAMUTEQ. O significado de qualidade de vida, conforme a Nuvem de Palavras e a análise estatística remeteram-se, principalmente, às palavras “saúde física”, “saúde mental” e “independência”, demonstrando que os idosos se preocupam com a moradia e a qualidade de vida, onde estar bem física e mentalmente auxilia no processo de envelhecimento. Pode-se concluir que o significado do envelhecimento e da velhice para os entrevistados tem relação direta com o seu contexto de vida e experiências, destacando-se por aspectos ligados ao protagonismo, à temporalidade e aos desafios do dia-a-dia.

El proyecto Go-Lab está financiado dentro del Programa FP7 de la Unión Europea y su principal objetivo es fomentar el área STEM en alumnos jóvenes preuniversitarios. Cuenta con una veintena de socios de más de 15 países y se articula en tres grandes ejes: pedagogía, tecnología y despliegue en centros educativos. Pedagógicamente se basa en el aprendizaje por indagación (Inquiry Based Learning [IBL]), aspecto que desarrolla utilizando laboratorios en línea, ya sean virtuales o remotos, para obtener el mayor efecto en profesores y alumnos de secundaria y bachiller. La aportación española ha sido la más relevante en lo que se refiere al despliegue del ecosistema Go-Lab en colegios, puesto que supone cerca de un 25% del total de profesores que lo desarrollan y lo implementan en sus centros de enseñanza. Go-Lab se ha extendido a un total de 281 escuelas españolas. Se ha observado que las aplicaciones de dicho ecosistema facilitan la experiencia necesaria a los alumnos, de manera que estos puedan ser protagonistas de su aprendizaje desde un rol creador e investigador, lo que promueve el acercamiento juvenil a las disciplinas STEM.
Las intersexualidades en la educación afectivo-sexual: análisis sobre su presencia y tratamiento
Authors: Granero Andújar Alejandro , García Gómez Teresa
Published: July 2020

El presente trabajo pretende conocer en profundidad el grado de presencia de las intersexualidades y el tratamiento recibido en la educación afectivo-sexual, teniendo en cuenta que es una realidad educativa escasamente explorada. Para ello hemos realizado un estudio de caso colectivo en dos institutos de educación secundaria obligatoria de Almería. Las técnicas de recogida de datos empleadas han sido la observación no participante, la entrevista semiestructurada en profundidad y el análisis documental. Los datos obtenidos se han analizado mediante la técnica de codificación. Los resultados constatan que las intersexualidades constituyen una realidad prácticamente desconocida y olvidada en los contextos educativos estudiados, tanto por su omisión como por la superficialidad con la que son abordadas, y que reproducen valores excluyentes y discriminatorios, como el binarismo y la monosexualidad, que han sido interiorizados por el alumnado participante, apareciendo en él actitudes excluyentes y no igualitarias. Concluimos que es necesario abordar de manera transversal y profunda las intersexualidades en el mundo académico, a fin de no reproducir valores discriminatorios y trabajar para la inclusión de la diversidad de corporalidades existentes. Asimismo, consideramos fundamental potenciar el debate sobre la normatividad imperante y que ello permita cuestionar las concepciones binaristas y monosexistas en las prácticas docentes.

Authors: Martínez-Usarralde María-Jesús , Lloret-Catalá Carmen
Published: July 2020

El presente artículo pretende centrar su atención en la política sectorial de la AOD vinculada a la educación desde la ingeniería cosmopolita de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible que han permitido odeseizar las políticas mundiales (Barandiarán, 2017), de las que la cooperación y la educación constituyen dos objetos de análisis e investigación. Para ello, sus objetivos se centrarán en revisar el caso español del binomio AOD y educación, y cómo, estrechamente vinculado a la ortodoxia política mundial homogeneizadora que proviene de manera intencionalmente manifiesta por parte de los organismos internacionales, la AOD en la actualidad y en este ámbito específico se ha canalizado y transmutado en el cuarto objetivo de desarrollo sostenible (ODS 4). La metodología utilizada se basa en técnicas cualitativas centradas en el análisis documental y de contenido sobre AOD y ODS 4 procedente de organismos internacionales e informes oficiales. En las conclusiones se pretende articular el discurso inicial de la vinculación existente entre la política actual española del ODS 4 y la de la AOD, al tiempo que se explica su proyección futura más inmediata.
Tratamiento mediático de los resultados educativos en la prensa peruana
Authors: Turpo Gebera Osbaldo
Published: July 2020

El tratamiento informativo de los resultados educativos desvela aspectos fundamentales de las políticas pedagógicas. Este estudio reconoce las representaciones mediáticas que la prensa peruana construye sobre las evaluaciones internacionales (PISA 2015; TERCE 2013) y nacionales (ECE 2016) desde las notas informativas de los principales diarios impresos en versión digital. El proceso metodológico siguió un análisis interpretativo de los contenidos cuantificados y recuperados de los repositorios periodísticos. En ese sentido, se organizó la información extraída en textos o unidades de significación, las mismas que fueron reproducidas como valores noticia. Los resultados confirman el predominio de las representaciones mediáticas de la prueba PISA sobre la prueba ECE y la relegación de TERCE, consecuencias expresadas a través de mensajes sobre el fracaso del sistema educativo nacional, que lo situaban en los últimos puestos de la clasificación, obviaban sus mejoras y generaban un sentido de alarma social como evidencia de la mediatización y la politización de las evaluaciones educativas.

Prática baseada em evidência: um levantamento em profissionais atuantes na área de fisioterapia hospitalar: um estudo transversal
Authors: Costa Pamela Dutra Collato , De Sousa Tatiane Regina , Claudino Renato
Published: July 2020

Introdução: A Prática Baseada em Evidências (PBE) consiste em uma combinação entre a experiência do terapeuta, a melhor evidência disponível e a preferência/adaptação do paciente. O fisioterapeuta hospitalar detém conhecimentos sobre procedimentos terapêuticos validados por pesquisas, com comprovação da eficácia de suas técnicas. Sua presença é indispensável em setores como UTI adulto, UTI neonatal e enfermarias. Por se tratar de uma área primordial para a reabilitação de pacientes internados, faz-se necessário identificar se os profissionais, que atuam nos diversos setores do ambiente hospitalar, estão devidamente aptos a oferecer o melhor serviço disponível utilizando os princípios da PBE.Objetivo: Descrever comportamentos, conhecimentos, habilidades, opiniões e barreiras relacionados à PBE reportados por fisioterapeutas hospitalares atuantes em um hospital público estadual de Santa Catarina.Métodos: Foi utilizado um questionário eletrônico adaptado que identificou comportamentos, conhecimentos, habilidades, opiniões e barreiras em PBE reportados pelos participantes.Resultados: A taxa de resposta ao questionário foi de 72,72% (16 respondentes). O meio de atualização profissional mais utilizado foram os artigos científicos (56,3%), sendo a base mais acessada a Scielo (93,8%) seguida da Pubmed (81,3%). Os fisioterapeutas (87,5%) relatam que sabem o significado do termo PBE e procuram implantar a melhor evidência científica na prática clínica (75,0%), auxiliando na qualidade dos serviços de saúde (56,3%). As barreiras mais relatadas foram o idioma dos artigos, a falta da qualidade de evidências, a dificuldade de obter o artigo na íntegra, a falta de tempo, a dificuldade de entendimento dos dados estatísticos, a interpretação dos resultados e a falta de treinamento em PBE.Conclusão: Os fisioterapeutas hospitalares relatam atitudes positivas quanto ao uso da PBE, apresentam interesse em aprofundar seus conhecimentos sobre o tema a fim de utilizar a melhor evidência científica na prática clínica, visando à qualidade no atendimento ao paciente.  Por outro lado, algumas barreiras dificultam a implantação da PBE na rotina diária de atendimento.

Introdução: Após o Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE), ocorre mudança no tônus muscular que implica em diminuição da amplitude de movimento (ADM) do ombro. O instrumento mais utilizado para medir a ADM é o goniômetro universal, porém, existem outros métodos, como a fotogrametria.Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia do Kinovea na avaliação da ADM de flexão e abdução do ombro pós-AVE.Materiais e métodos: Participaram do estudo 19 voluntários pós-AVE crônico. A avaliação da ADM de flexão e abdução de ombro foi realizada através da goniometria e análises fotográficas pelo Kinovea.  As medidas máximas obtidas nas avaliações foram submetidas a verificação de normalidade pelo teste Shapiro Wilk, as variáveis calculadas foram comparadas pela Correlação de Pearson, com um nível de significância (α) de 0,05.Resultados: As análises demonstraram correlação alta (r0,954; p=0,000) para flexão de ombro e boa (r0,627; p=0,004) para abdução de ombro.Conclusão: O Kinovea apresentou boa eficácia em capturar a ADM de abdução e flexão de ombro nos indivíduos avaliados.

The aim of the study was to quantify and compare, morphologically, the mucus and inflammatory infiltrate in rats exposed to cigarette smoke, alcohol and both agents, including physical exercise. Forty male Wistar rats were used, randomly divided into four groups. Control animals performed physical exercises. The other animals were exposed to cigarette smoke, alcohol intake and physical training, according to the respective group. The lungs of the animals were collected to assess the findings. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding the assessment of the airway perimeter and the amount of inflammatory cells in the animals' airways. It was concluded that there was no influence of physical exercise on the production of mucus and inflammatory infiltrate in rats exposed to alcohol and cigarette smoke. Thus, it is suggested to carry out further studies in order to elucidate the results.

A reprodutibilidade de pesquisas tem sido um tópico de grande discussão na comunidade científica. Esta questão tem motivado os principais periódicos a elaborarem documentos de boas práticas que ajudam os pesquisadores a organizarem os dados, códigos e artefatos de suas publicações para assegurar a reprodução dos trabalhos. Por causa disto, diversas ferramentas computacionais têm sido desenvolvidas com o objetivo de lidar com as questões de reprodutibilidade científica. Este trabalho apresenta uma ferramenta tecnológica para se obter reprodutibilidade de experimentos científicos realizados na criação de mapas de uso e cobertura da terra baseadas em técnicas de aprendizado de máquina com o pacote R denominado sits (Satellite Image Time Series). Esta ferramenta, denominada sits.rep, auxilia pesquisadores em todos os passos de seus experimentos, aumentando a produtividade das equipes que desenvolvem códigos de classificações de uso e cobertura da terra, uma vez que os pesquisadores podem se dedicar exclusivamente em produzir melhores classificações.

Most of existing in-pipe robots are applied to de-fect inspection and regular maintenance, etc. There is al-most no in-pipe robot for big-diameter pipelines cleaningand are still problems of traction force and obstacle-overcoming. To deal with the problems, a novel wheeledand wall-pressing type in-pipe cleaning robot (IPCR) withhigh pressure water jet is proposed. Then the preloadmechanism, traction force, and obstacle-overcoming capa-bility of the IPCR are analyzed. The vibration equations ofthe simplified vibration system of the IPCR are established.Also, the necessity of preloading force is verified andmethods to improve obstacle-overcoming capability areproposed. Finally, the traveling capability is verified in adynamics simulation system. The simulation results showthat the proposed IPCR is powerful with traction force andhas a certain capability of obstacle-overcoming. Setting theattitude angle is zero and adding preloading force to allsprings can obviously weaken vibration of the IPCR.

Freiheit und Repräsentation
Authors: Enders Christoph
Published: July 2020

Die vielbeschworene „Krise der Repräsentation“ geht einher mit populistischen Tendenzen, die das Versagen des Repräsentationsmodells anprangern und sich zugleich zunutze machen wollen. Individuelle Selbst- und repräsentative Mitbestimmung, die gemeinsam die Freiheitsorganisation des modernen Verfassungsstaats konstituieren, scheinen in einen selbstzerstörerischen Gegensatz zu treten. Der Grund ist aber weniger in der Betonung des Rechtsschutzes der individuellen Selbstbestimmung als in einer verbreiteten Fehlvorstellung vom Wesen der Repräsentation zu sehen. Repräsentation verlangt als „Gesamtrepräsentation“ nach wie vor, dass die politische Entscheidung der Repräsentanten des Volkes sich am allgemeinen Interesse des Gesamtwohls orientiert.

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile disease. It is one of the most common diseases among humans and animals. Objectives: Due to the presence of the disease in Iran, this study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of farmers about Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 300 farmers in north and south villages of Khorramabad city selected using stratified sampling. The instrument used in the study was a valid and reliable questionnaire to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practice of people in contact with the livestock. After completing the questionnaire, the data were analyzed by SPSS using nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation coefficient). Results: The mean age of the participants was 38.94 ± 14.28 years. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice of the participants regarding CCHF were 18.46 ± 5.05, 40.7 ± 2.18, and 6.42 ± 3.40, respectively. There was a significant relationship between knowledge (P < 0.001), attitude (P < 0.001), and practice (P < 0.001) scores and the education level and marital status (P < 0.001). The results showed a significant inverse correlation between age and attitude (P < 0.001. r = -0.33), knowledge (P < 0.001. r = -0.42), and practice (P < 0.001. r = -0.39). There was a significant positive relationship between practice and knowledge (P = 0.001. r = -0.39) and attitude (P < 0.001. r = -0.39). Conclusions: Due to the insufficient performance of farmers concerning disease prevention and health protection behaviors. implementation of an educational program to increase the level of knowledge could promote their prevention behavior Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.
