Authors: Sedighi Saman , Rahmani Soodeh , Moinolghorabaei Mahdieh
Published: December 2020

Background: Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are both effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. However, drugs in pharmacotherapy are often compared with placebo controls, and psychotherapy is mostly compared to patients in the waiting list as the controls. We aimed to compare the effects of analytic group therapy with pharmacotherapy in patients with anxiety disorders.

Methods: In this clinical trial study in Tehran, 65 patients (10 males, 55 females) presenting with a primary diagnosis of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and/or mixed anxiety-depressive disorder (based on a structured clinical interview by a psychiatrist) were enlisted during the period from 2016 to 2018. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: drug therapy (group D, 33 patients), or drug therapy + analytic group therapy (group G, 32 patients). Anxiety was assessed in both groups before and immediately after treatment by the Persian version of the Hamilton Anxiety scale (HAM-A). Collected data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software version 21.

Results: Both groups showed a statistically significant decline in HAM-A scores after the treatment. However, group G had a greater significant change in anxiety score compared to group D. The mean decline of HAM-A was 25.694.82 for group G and 23.214.64 for group D. The HAM-A score was significantly reduced in group G compared to group D (p = 0.039).

Conclusion: This study showed that psychodynamic psychotherapy could improve the pharmacotherapy effects and is superior to pharmacotherapy alone.

Published: December 2020

The meaning of religion, in its material manifestation, has been reduced through times into a narrow meaning. The system of global capitalism seems to be successful in dividing our logical paradigm apart as to make it classified according to choices solely based on private needs. Religion has come to bear merely personal function without social relevance. There has to be creative attempts in re-actualizing religion as to perform extended functions. Religion has to be both relevant and in accord with public interests and social issues.
Urgensi Penguasaan Bahasa Arab Bagi Juru Dakwah
Authors: Suhaemi Babay
Published: December 2020

Arabic language was chosen by Allah the Almighty as the official language of the last religion, Islam. Undoubtedly, Muslims are supposed to be found of Arabic language and to make every possible effort to learn this holy language. Allah the Almighty sorted out Arabic as Quranic language because it is the best of the existing languages. By mastering Arabic language, we could access abundant Islamic heritages, especially in classical books such as: science, philosophy, theology, and so on. Mastering Arabic language is thus very important, especially for Islamic preachers (da’i) without which they could not understand Islamic basic tenets, Al-Qur’an and Hadith. Psychologically, mastering Arabic language would optimize the effectiveness of dakwah, particularly in transmitting Islamic knowledge to the ummah.
Kearifan Sunda, Kearifan Semesta: Menelusuri Jejak Islam dalam Khazanah Budaya Sunda
Authors: Safei Agus Ahmad
Published: December 2020

Sundanese culture and Islam has been concluded by anthropologists as two inseparable things. Corelationship between Sundanese culture and Islam is like that of sugar and its sweetness which cannot be separated. Often stated that Islam and Sundanese culture bear similar paradigm. On the one side, Islam views and comprehends the world as expressions of absolute principles and recorded in divine revelation of God. On the other, Sundanese culture has long laid down absolute values that manifest on folkways and traditions. But, social acceptance of this is not without problem. The relation between Islam and Sunda must not be exagerated. We need to be proporsional in identifying similarities and differences of those two cultural entities.

Mariologia św. Cezarego z Arles
Authors: Gilski Marek
Published: December 2020

Artykuł prezentuje mariologię św. Cezarego z Arles. Składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza ukazuje miejsce Maryi w egzegezie alegorycznej, a druga najważniejsze prawdy wiary odnośnie do Niej. Księżyc, ziemia i komnata małżeńska to najważniejsze dla biskupa Arles symbole Matki Pana, a Boże macierzyństwo, dziewictwo i świętość to głoszone przez niego fundamentalne prawdy wiary. Na taki kształt mariologii Cezarego miało wpływ przede wszystkim jego duszpasterskie ukierunkowanie. Dlatego też idee, które prezentuje, nie są nowatorskie. Powtarza to, co zaczerpnął od innych ojców Kościoła.
Postać Jozuego w interpretacji Cezarego z Arles
Authors: Paczkowski Mieczysław
Published: December 2020

W tradycji patrystycznej postrzegano księgę Jozuego jako zapowiedź zbawczego dzieła Chrystusa. Syn Nuna zajął miejsce Mojżesza, natomiast w porządku łaski Zbawiciel zastępuje dawne prawo Ewangelią. Ojcowie postrzegali ciąg historii Izraela jako odnośnik do życia chrześcijańskiego. Podobne elementy odnajdujemy w kaznodziejstwie Cezarego z Arles. Dla biskupa prowansalskiego Jozue to ten, który wprowadził lud do Ziemi Obiecanej, stanowiącej jego dziedzictwo. Postać ta jest utożsamiona z Chrystusem. Przejście Izraelitów przez Jordan stało się figurą chrztu. To zapowiedź wprowadzenia do życia łaski i ofiarowania dóbr nadprzyrodzonych przez Chrystusa, którego typem był syn Nuna. Nowe pokolenie Izraelitów, którym przewodził Jozue, to prefiguracja Kościoła. To właśnie on zastąpił wybrany ongiś naród (Synagogę). Cezary miał świadomość konieczności odczytywania wybranych tekstów Joz w świetle wiary i praktyki Kościoła. Był ponadto wyczulony na potrzeby duszpasterskie, pojawiające się w jego wspólnocie. W przepowiadaniu, podobnie jak w swoich inicjatywach, Cezary zabiegał o skuteczne przedstawianie ugruntowanej teologii biblijnej i praktyczne stosowanie adekwatnej praktyki duszpasterskiej.
Pius XII and the Idea of European Unity

Pope Pius XII supported the idea of unifying Europe, but reminded Europeans of the principles on which a just and durable European convivence had to be based: on the “moral law that the Creator revealed by means of natural law”, in respect of the dignity of human persons and of all natural communities. He was convinced that Europe should not be a super state disrespecting national cultures, but a synthesis of national identities and transnational solidarity based not on a coincidence of economic or political interests, but on the unity of Christian spirit.

Szczególnym kontekstem głoszenia krzyża Chrystusowego są kazania pasyjne na temat ostatnich siedmiu słów Jezusa wypowiedzianych na krzyżu. Tego zadania wielokrotnie podejmował się Fulton J. Sheen na łamach audycji „The Catholic Hour”, w których przemawiał do swoich słuchaczy przez ponad 20 lat. Kapłan, poza interpretacją samych słów Jezusa, omawiał m.in. życie Matki Bożej, wyjaśniał słuchaczom Mszę Świętą, rozważał prośby z modlitwy „Ojcze Nasz”, omawiał cnoty, grzechy główne, błogosławieństwa Jezusa oraz kierował rozważania, do konkretnych grup osób, które wyrzuciły Boga z życia. W artykule zostało przedstawione jego nauczanie w kontekście wyjaśniania prawd Bożych i nauczania o wierze, oraz poznawania, kim jest człowiek ze wskazaniem na zagadnienia moralne.
CONFERENCE TIME IN THE LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCES. PART 1: CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS AND PROCEEDINGS (CONFERENCE) PAPER
Authors: KOLESNYKOVA Tetiana O.
Published: December 2020

Objective. This study aims 1) to acquire new information on alternative conference formats, including in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS), which have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on physical communication; 2) to clarify the role of such a communication channel as Conference proceedings within the scientific ecosystem, as well as the concepts "proceedings paper" and "conference paper". Methods. Examining the new conference formats and special features of the Conference proceedings involved the content from the web-sites of international conferences in the field of LIS and related sciences, the analysis of subject-specific papers and data from the bibliographic and abstract databases such as Scopus and the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS). Results. It has been proven that over the year 2020 the online and hybrid events have become an alternative format of physical conferences. It has been confirmed that the Conference proceedings from the influential international conferences refer to the types of publications categorized as "high-quality papers". The peculiarity of LIS university researchers is that, in addition to studying problems focused only on the library activities, there is a need to conduct research into various subjects that are major for their institutions. Conference proceedings can be published as a book (a series of books), in a journal, or as a serial publication. Papers from them may be indexed by WoS (as "proceedings paper") and/or by Scopus (as "conference paper"); however, the impact factors of the publications themselves are not available in these databases. Conclusions. In the year 2020, the new pandemic reality, representing a circumstance of irresistible force, stimulated the flourishing of creative and technological solutions for online conferences. For international conferences, it is mandatory to publish the materials presented by their participants. Proceedings paper (conference paper) in journals are similar to standard journal articles in their structure but they have a less rigorous review process, they are published faster at a lower scientific impact (citation level).

How companies successfully transition from being good companies to great
Authors: Ganguly Kaushik Kumar
Published: December 2020

How do great companies become so successful? How do market leaders stay ahead despite never-ending changes and new competitors in their industries? How do businesses survive and even thrive in times of uncertainty? Why are great companies and big brands not able to adapt to changing
environment?These are all complex questions that are hard to answer, given the sheer number of variables in business strategy. Jim Collins, former professor at Stanford Business School, took up this challenge to identify and evaluate the factors and variables that allow a small fraction
of companies to make the transition from merely good to truly great. Over 1,400 Fortune 500 companies were examined in a five-year project and eleven great companies were identified from this research. Then, the defining characteristics that differentiated these ‘great’ firms from
their competitors were quantified and analysed.The resulting data are presented in his 2001 book, ‘Good to Great - Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don’t’. The overarching theme of Collins’ arguments is the need to define a narrowly focused objective
and field of competency and then focus all of the company’s resources toward that area of strength.

Objetivo: evaluar la persistencia de los anticuerpos IgG contra SARS-CoV2, en trabajadores de salud del subsector público de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, y correlacionarla con variables demográficas (sexo, edad) y otros indicadores de salud (diagnóstico de COVID-19, comorbilidades y embarazo).

Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, de corte transversal. Al personal de salud con un resultado positivo en una primera muestra (N=388) se les realizó una segunda prueba para evaluar la persistencia de anticuerpos mediante ELISA.

Resultados: De las 386 personas evaluadas con resultado concluyente, 296 contaban con un primer resultado positivo entre los 30 y los 90 días anteriores a la segunda prueba, el 90% presentó anticuerpos detectables. En aquellas personas con un resultado positivo hacía más de 90 días (45) se observó una caída significativa en la persistencia del 26,7%. No hubo asociaciones significativas entre las variables demográficas y de salud y el resultado de la segunda prueba.

Conclusión: Los anticuerpos se mantienen detectables por al menos 90 días en el 90% de los casos analizados. Resulta fundamental continuar este estudio en el tiempo para contar con un período de tiempo mayor entre pruebas. La información aquí mostrada arroja datos interesantes y prometedores en cuanto a la posible protección de nuevos contagios de COVID-19 en personal con alta exposición de riesgo. Estas evidencias podrían contribuir a la toma de decisiones, tanto a nivel local como regional, para la adecuada planificación de la vacunación, así como también, para el manejo de la pandemia ante una posible segunda ola de casos en América Latina.

Este artigo discute a instituição dos cuidados paliativos como uma forma de cuidado humanizado parapacientes pediátricos dependentes de ventilação mecânica invasiva sem perspectiva de cura.Para refletir sobre esta proposta, realizou-se incursão teórica em literatura, buscando-se estabelecer um diálogo entre a Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanose cuidados paliativos pediátricos. A instituição dos cuidados paliativos para esta população vulnerável pode ser fundamentada em argumentos de alguns princípios contidos na Declaração, principalmente aqueles que asseveram o respeito pela dignidade humana, pelos direitos humanos, pela vulnerabilidade e pela integridade. Os artigos da Declaração situam a Bioética dentro da realidade humana social e concreta, e, abrem novas perspectivas para a reflexão e a ação em cuidados paliativos.

Background

Injury to kidney podocytes often results in chronic glomerular disease and consecutive nephron malfunction. For most glomerular diseases, targeted therapies are lacking. Thus, it is important to identify novel signaling pathways contributing to glomerular disease. Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor 3 (TrkC) is expressed in podocytes and the protein transmits signals to the podocyte actin cytoskeleton.

Methods

Nephron-specific TrkC knockout (TrkC-KO) and nephron-specific TrkC-overexpressing (TrkC-OE) mice were generated to dissect the role of TrkC in nephron development and maintenance.

Results

Both TrkC-KO and TrkC-OE mice exhibited enlarged glomeruli, mesangial proliferation, basement membrane thickening, albuminuria, podocyte loss, and aspects of FSGS during aging. Igf1 receptor (Igf1R)–associated gene expression was dysregulated in TrkC-KO mouse glomeruli. Phosphoproteins associated with insulin, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase (Erbb), and Toll-like receptor signaling were enriched in lysates of podocytes treated with the TrkC ligand neurotrophin-3 (Nt-3). Activation of TrkC by Nt-3 resulted in phosphorylation of the Igf1R on activating tyrosine residues in podocytes. Igf1R phosphorylation was increased in TrkC-OE mouse kidneys while it was decreased in TrkC-KO kidneys. Furthermore, TrkC expression was elevated in glomerular tissue of patients with diabetic kidney disease compared with control glomerular tissue.

Conclusions

Our results show that TrkC is essential for maintaining glomerular integrity. Furthermore, TrkC modulates Igf-related signaling in podocytes.

Published: December 2020

La exposición prenatal al alcohol puede derivar en un espectro de trastornos congénitos, dentro de los cuales el Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF) es el más severo. Esto es 100 % prevenible si no se consume alcohol durante la gestación, por lo que conocer los factores que determinan que una mujer consuma alcohol estando embarazada es fundamental. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar si características del entorno (como son las normas sociales prescriptivas o NSP) se relacionan con el consumo de alcohol durante la gestación en mujeres de la ciudad de Mar del Plata, Argentina. Para ello, se realizó un muestro probabilístico de 852 mujeres gestantes durante el año 2016 en los principales centros de atención primaria a la salud de la ciudad. Se evaluó el consumo de alcohol antes y durante la gestación a través del Test de Identificación de Trastornos por Consumo de Alcohol y las NSP con preguntas construidas ad hoc. El 87 % consideró que las otras gestantes consumen alcohol; de ellas, 53 % cree que el consumo es igual, 10 % cree que es mayor y el resto menor. El 90 % reconoció que las personas importantes para ellas desaprobarían el consumo durante la gestación. Las mujeres con un entorno favorable hacia el consumo se correspondieron con ingesta de alcohol en el embarazo, mientras que se observó lo contrario en los casos en los que el entorno era desfavorable. Estos resultados indican que podría ser beneficioso diseñar estrategias preventivas que se focalicen no solo en la gestante, sino en el entorno cercano.
Development of a cognitive-existential intervention to decrease compassion fatigue in formal caregivers
Authors: Hidalgo-Andrade Paula , Martínez-Rodríguez Silvia
Published: December 2020

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with chronic and advanced illnesses and their families. This requires a multidisciplinary approach from formal caregivers. Though caring for others could be rewarding and this satisfaction relates to higher work engagement and resiliency, formal caregivers of palliative care patients may develop compassion fatigue due to the nature of their work. This fatigue affects caregivers, their interpersonal relationships, and the quality of care they provide. Supporting formal caregivers and improving communication plays a vital role. Considering the efficacy of the existential interventions in other populations, and the lack of testing of these interventions on formal caregivers of palliative care teams, this article aims to describe the design and development of an eight-session cognitive-existential group-based psychoeducational intervention to reduce compassion fatigue and to promote self-care and satisfaction of formal caregivers of palliative care patients in a Latin American context. The intervention used Frankl’s Logotherapy and Ellis’ rational emotive therapy as the theoretical framework and included the necessities of formal caregivers in this specific setting. As a result, this article presents the theoretical development of the intervention and its structure, as well as the objectives and specific content of each session. Empirical research, reported elsewhere, has proven its long-term effectiveness in reducing the compassion fatigue of this population. This makes it a replicable intervention with promising results. Future studies need to continue its evaluation and include professionals in other settings outside palliative care.
El rol de la atribución en el comportamiento prosocial adolescente
Authors: Balabanian Cinthia , Lemos Viviana
Published: December 2020

La prosocialidad comprende aquellas conductas intencionales que se realizan para el beneficio de otras personas. Entre las variables que tienen una incidencia en la decisión de ayudar, se incluyen los patrones atribucionales: interpretaciones que se realizan sobre las causas de un determinado acontecimiento. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el rol que tiene la atribución que un individuo realiza sobre una situación de potencial ayuda en la elicitación de la conducta prosocial. A partir de un muestreo intencional, no probabilístico, participaron 359 adolescentes de clase media, de una institución privada de la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. Se aplicó la Escala de Conducta Prosocial Adolescente y, para la evaluación del estilo atribucional ligado a las conductas de ayuda, se redactaron cuatro situaciones con el objetivo de identificar la atribución causal predominante. Se realizó un ANOVA unifactorial para conocer si la conducta prosocial presenta una variabilidad en función del estilo atribucional. Se encontró que la puntuación promedio de conducta prosocial obtenida por los sujetos con un patrón atribucional externo incontrolable fue significativamente superior al de quienes presentaron un estilo atribucional neutro e interno controlable. Estos hallazgos aportan evidencias a favor de que la conducta es influida por patrones de atribuciones causales. Estos resultados se encuentran en concordancia con estudios previos, los cuales encontraron que las representaciones dinámicas y los modelos mentales sustentados en las propias creencias sobre el mundo, más que los hechos en sí, ejercen un control sobre las acciones que se llevan a cabo.
