Authors: Ciccarelli Santolo , Scuotto Chiara , Aruta Luigi , Ferraro Francesco V , Iavarone Maria Luisa
Published: February 2023

The pandemic has produced profound changes in teaching activities, with consequences on the educational processes and social development of students. In this sense, the following contribution explores the potential of Advanced Functional Didactics (DAF), a didactic proposal that aims to deliver traditional didactic contents through motor activity. Carried out in a difficult social context, namely the IC Ristori of Naples, located in the Forcella district, the study involves a second class of primary school and a first class of lower secondary school. The experimental hypothesis of this research is that the introduction of the DAF can bring benefits to the physical, psychological, social and learning abilities of the learners. This pilot study was the first to carry it out, thus proposing to verify the impact of this methodology on students to collect useful responses to improve it.

 

Lo sviluppo di nuove abilità ed esperienze: uno studio pilota con la Didattica Avanzata Funzionale.

La pandemia ha prodotto profondi cambiamenti nelle attività didattiche, con conseguenze sui processi formativi e di sviluppo sociale degli studenti. In tal senso, il seguente contributo esplora le potenzialità della Didattica Avanzata Funzionale (DAF), una proposta didattica che mira ad erogare i contenuti didattici tradizionali attraverso l’attività motoria. Realizzato in un contesto sociale difficile, ossia l’IC Ristori di Napoli, sito nel quartiere di Forcella, lo studio coinvolge una classe seconda della scuola primaria e una classe prima della scuola secondaria di primo grado. L’ipotesi sperimentale di questa ricerca è che l’introduzione della DAF possa apportare benefici alle capacità fisiche, psicologiche, sociali e di apprendimento dei discenti. Questo studio pilota è stato il primo a realizzarla, proponendosi quindi di verificare l’impatto di questa metodologia sugli studenti allo scopo di raccogliere risposte utili a migliorare quest’ultima.
Soft skills and general education
Authors: Cegolon Andrea
Published: February 2023

After an analysis of the relation hard skills vs soft skill, the topic of soft skills is deepened in its genesis. The thesis supported here is that soft skills are objectively linked with general popular cultur of which the high formative implication are highlighted, according to the neo-humanistic perspective of liberal education, outlined by Humbold, and brought back in the XX century by the German pedagogist Kerschensteiner and by our Salvemini, whose positions are discussed, at a theoretical level, on the nature of classical studies.

 

Soft skills e cultura generale.

Dopo averlo analizzato in rapporto alle hard skills, il tema delle soft skills viene approfondito nella sua genesi. La tesi, qui sostenuta, è l’esistenza di un legame oggettivo con la cultura generale. Di essa vengono messe in evidenza le elevate implicazioni di ordine formativo secondo la prospettiva neo-umanistica della liberal education, delineata da Humbold e ripresa nel XX secolo dal pedagogista tedesco Kerschensteiner e dal nostro Salvemini, del quale vengono discusse le posizioni, a livello teorico, sulla natura degli studi classici.
The role of culture in enhancing well-being and soft skills: from passive to active participation
Authors: Passaretti Alessandra , Aruta Luigi , Scuotto Chiara , Ambra Ferdinando Ivano
Published: February 2023

The 2030 Agenda has among its sustainability goals the promotion of health and well-being. These goals seem to depend on disparate interdependent factors, including psychological well-being, the ability to self-determine, and the social cohesion of the context in which an individual grows and develops. Cultural participation seems to be an effective response to this challenge, as it can promote the development of personal and social skills. In the present article it is, therefore, analyzed how active and/or passive participation in cultural activities can represent an interesting educational ground for promoting well-being through the development of soft skills. At the same time, the neurobiological effects of such enjoyment and an examination of the most effective pedagogical interventions are reported.

 

Il ruolo della cultura nel potenziare il benessere e le soft skills: da partecipazione passiva ad attiva.

L’agenda 2030 ha tra i suoi obiettivi di sostenibilità la promozione della salute e del benessere. Questi obiettivi sembrano dipendere da disparati fattori interdipendenti tra loro, tra cui il benessere psicologico, la capacità di autodeterminarsi, nonché la coesione sociale del contesto all’interno del quale un individuo cresce e si sviluppa. La partecipazione culturale sembra rappresentare una risposta efficace a questa sfida, in quanto in grado di promuovere lo sviluppo di competenze personali e sociali. Nel presente articolo è, quindi, analizzato come la partecipazione attiva e/o passiva alle attività culturali possa rappresentare un interessante terreno educativo per promuovere il benessere attraverso lo sviluppo di soft-skills. Allo stesso tempo sono riportati gli effetti neurobiologici di tale fruizione ed una disamina sugli interventi pedagogici più efficaci.

Published: February 2023

The paper presents the first results of a documentary research aimed at mapping specific actions or programmes addressed to holders of international protection, asylum seekers and migrants carried out by public and private universities, in Italy. The research reached a total of 98 universities, using the universities’ official websites as primary sources. From the data it emerges that universities are implementing both integration projects within the university education framework and projects of hosting, as well as social and cultural inclusion projects. The mapping pointed out a diverse and complex framework of interventions, together with potentialities and paths that universities could follow to develop or activate new services in terms of social responsibility as well as of research to better understand migratory phenomena.

 

Le azioni degli Atenei italiani rivolte ai rifugiati, ai richiedenti asilo e ai migranti: una prima mappatura.

Il contributo presenta i primi risultati di una ricerca documentale che ha avuto come obiettivo quello di mappare le azioni rivolte ai titolari di protezione internazionale, ai richiedenti asilo e ai migranti realizzate in Italia dagli Atenei pubblici e privati. La ricerca ha interessato un totale di 98 istituzioni universitarie, utilizzando come fonti primarie i siti ufficiali degli Atenei. Dai dati emerge che le università realizzano sia progetti di inserimento all’interno di un percorso formativo universitario, sia progetti di accoglienza e inclusione sociale e culturale. La mappatura ha fatto emergere un quadro di interventi variegato e complesso, insieme a potenzialità e strade che le università potrebbero percorrere per sviluppare o attivare nuovi servizi in un’ottica di responsabilità sociale, oltre che di ricerca sulla comprensione dei fenomeni migratori.

Authors: Estrada-Huerta Juan Pablo , Avila Sánchez María De Jesús , Martínez-Sánchez María Luisa
Published: February 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la discriminación contra personas migrantes durante la pandemia COVID-19 en Coahuila. Para ello, se visibiliza la ruta de discriminación estructural contra personas migrantes, que tiene sus cimientos en la construcción histórica del migrante en Coahuila y ha estado presente hasta nuestros días. Por ello, con base en la Encuesta Nacional sobre Discriminación 2017 nos aproximamos a la magnitud de la discriminación, desde reconocer cómo y en qué medida se discrimina a personas migrantes; hasta de identificar las características de quienes discriminan según edad, escolaridad y género. Se observa como continua latente la construcción histórica y social de la persona migrante como “otro” a través de prejuicios, estereotipos y estigmas, resultando que la discriminación estructural se agudiza negativamente en tiempos de la pandemia del COVID-19.
Retratos cómicos de la emigración en el cine español: el caso de la generación mejor preparada de la historia
Authors: Chenovart-González Jorge
Published: February 2023

La gran recesión económica de 2008 asoló Europa y produjo una serie de fenómenos emigratorios en España derivados de la falta de oportunidades laborales que no se observaba desde la década de los sesenta. El presente trabajo analiza la denominada ‘generación mejor preparada de la historia’ (todos aquellos jóvenes con estudios superiores que perdieron su empleo o no lo encontraron), desde una vertiente cinematográfica española con la saga de comedias Perdiendo el norte y Perdiendo el este. A partir de un enfoque teórico-práctico, se plantea el análisis de los modelos representativos de la juventud ibérica ante la problemática de la búsqueda de trabajo, la interculturalidad, el posible fracaso de una Unión Europea de carácter acogedor y la carencia de posibilidades debida la diferencia de idioma. Por último, se procede a examinar a los personajes que representan esta emigración mediante los elementos clásicos de la tragicomedia, género en el cual se inscribe la filmografía seleccionada.
La contradicción de la vida en “Discurso a mi cuerpo”, de Virgilio Piñera
Authors: Castro-Rocha Rogelio
Published: February 2023

El individuo, generalmente, se ha concebido desde una dicotomía entre la conciencia y las sensaciones. En “Discurso a mi cuerpo”, Virgilio Piñera elabora una reflexión en la que pone en juego esta disociación, pero en el fondo apuntala a la preeminencia del cuerpo, porque él y la mente se complementan. El sujeto literario no puede pensarse de forma separada. En este trabajo propongo que en el escrito de Piñera la parte física se configura como materia de sensaciones, generadora de sentido y mediadora del pensamiento, un organismo sintiente, ya que la experiencia y comprensión que el sujeto tiene de su mundo se determina por las relaciones sensoriales que establece con el entorno. Para el desarrollo de esta propuesta me apoyo en las nociones de Jean-Luc Nancy sobre el cuerpo como límite de sentido y ontología.

Dos formas de llorar por la misma muerte
Authors: Martínez-Nieto Luis Angel
Published: February 2023

Cuando Maagie O'Farrell conoció la anécdota que inspiró la famosa obra de William Shakespeare, Hamlet, quedó intrigada de que se tratara de un evento tan desapercibido y poco documentado. Más de 400 años después, la novelista británica se atrevió a reivindicar ese acontecimiento con una obra fantástica y desgarradora a partes iguales. Esta es la reseña crítica de Hamnet, un libro no biográfico, pero sin duda sí una pieza que nos invita a revisitar la historia desde dos perspectivas diferentes.

Authors: Soberón-Mora José Antonio , Mejía-Modesto Alfonso , Montes de Oca-Vargas Hugo
Published: February 2023

En el presente documento se examina la desigualdad de las condiciones laborales de la población trabajadora que radica en el Estado de México al interior de tres zonas metropolitanas. Con el número de prestaciones laborales, se elaboró un promedio, así como un análisis de la distribución del ingreso en porcentajes y cuartiles de distribución. Esta información se procesó a partir de lo reportado por la población trabajadora en la encuesta intercensal 2015; la población se conformó en cinco grupos de edad, además del sexo respectivo y del tamaño de la localidad de residencia. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que el tamaño de muestra es suficiente para encontrar diferencias entre los grupos formulados en relación con el promedio de prestaciones; la variable sexo juega un papel importante; es decir, las mujeres reportan mayor número de prestaciones laborales a nivel general; no obstante, la categoría laboral es menor.

Marco epistemológico para abordar conflictos sociales en torno de los incendios en el Delta del río Paraná (año 2020)
Authors: Preiti Francisco José
Published: February 2023

En función de erigir una base epistemológica para el desarrollo de análisis antropológicos y discursivos de los usos y representaciones del territorio en el Delta del Río Paraná a partir de la presencia del fuego en las islas (año 2020), nos han resultado operativos los aportes de la teoría del actor-red de Bruno Latour, en tanto pueden ser percibidos como estudios de los modos de socialización de la naturaleza y la puesta en cuestión de las ontologías modernas; Philippe Descola (2012) y más recientemente Erik Swyngedouw (2011) y su señalamiento de la condición post política que trastoca los modos actuales de gestionar la naturaleza, constituyen también un aporte significativo. En efecto, la investigación que proponemos pone el énfasis en dos dimensiones fundamentales que han sido definidas bajo el “acuerdo moderno” y que debemos desentrañar: la sociedad (“ahí abajo”) y la naturaleza (“ahí afuera”). Si bien estas entidades operan en la configuración del fenómeno de “fuego en las islas”, exhibiendo una tensión de usos y representaciones del ambiente, ¿de qué modos es que configuran el fenómeno? ¿Y qué entendemos nosotros por esas dimensiones?
LA INDEPENDENCIA EN NIÑOS CON TRASTORNO DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA Y SU RELACIÓN CON LA SOBRECARGA DE CUIDADOR

Published: February 2023

Los cuidadores primarios informales (CPIs) de niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) tienen mayor riesgo de padecer una sobrecarga percibida (SCP) elevada en comparación con cuidadores de niños con otro tipo de discapacidad, por lo que conviene comprender los factores asociados a este fenómeno. El presente estudio tuvo el objetivo de analizar la relación entre la SCP y la percepción que tienen los CPIs sobre el grado de independencia de niños con TEA que reciben sus cuidados en el hogar durante la pandemia por la COVID 19. Se realizó un estudio de carácter cuantitativo, analítico observacional y transversal en una muestra por conveniencia de 219 CPIs que respondieron en línea un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos que incluyó una pregunta para evaluar el nivel de independencia del menor con TEA para realizar actividades cotidianas, además de la Escala de Carga del Cuidador de Zarit (ECCZ). La investigación fue aprobada por un Comité de Ética en Investigación. Los datos se analizaron en el programa SPSS versión 25. Los resultados muestran que menores puntuaciones de independencia percibida en el menor, predicen SCP en el cuidador.
Nationalities relations in a totalitarian state. The case of East Central Europe under Soviet occupation (1939-1941) – methodological issues and a research agenda
Authors: Wierzbicki Marek
Published: February 2023

The aim of the article is to present the specific nature of research on the issues of national relations in a totalitarian state based on the example of the lands of Central and Eastern Europe under the Soviet occupation from 1939-1941. In order to achieve this, the literature on the subject (in English and Polish) was reviewed as well as the most important methodological problems encountered by researchers. The research program was also outlined, along with a proposal for their conceptualization in the form of signalling the main aspects of the above-mentioned issues, including the specificity of the Soviet occupation of 1939-1941, social and ethnic relations in this area, and the Soviet nationalities policy. Several research methods and postulates were proposed, as well as perspectives and theoretical approaches that could facilitate the study of this complex and controversial subject, e.g., the interdisciplinary nature of research, methods of bottom-up formation of political attitudes of the population (the so-called “bottom-up” method), application of theories of the totalitarian state, and different theories of ethnicity. As a result, an interdisciplinary program of comparative studies of ethnic relations in Central and Eastern Europe under Soviet rule (1939-1941) was outlined, taking into account the transnational character of historical processes and the need to conduct micro historic analyses and case studies that would allow capturing of the diversity of ethnic relations and verify the effectiveness of the policy of the central Soviet authorities. The article argues that it seems obvious that the specificity of the analysed problematics can be properly grasped only by consideration it in the historical and theoretical context, adopting a comparative and transnational approach, from a micro-historical as well as everyday-life perspective that highlights the most important social factors which facilitated changes in interethnic relations.
Criminal offences as an element of anti-state activities in the eastern lands of the Second Polish Republic from 1921-1925
Authors: Roguski Rafał
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this research is to illustrate the phenomenon of common crime in the eastern areas of Poland from 1921-1925. In the text, the author gives examples of this and its cause and effect on the functioning of the young Polish state. The timeline of the study covers the period from the signing of the Riga Treaty ending the Polish-Soviet War in 1921, to 1925 when the Bolsheviks temporarily gave up their aggressive attempts to spread communism in Europe. The author of the study focused on the most important type of crimes characteristic of the borderland such as robbery and smuggling, using the literature on the subject, source publications, and archival resources, mainly from the Central Military Archives, the Border Guard Archives in Szczecin, and Ukrainian archives in Lviv and Tarnopol. The research aims to show the characteristic types of common crimes, their connection with anti-Polish activities on the part of the USSR and Lithuania, and the intertwining of political crime with criminal offences. In the work, the author uses the critical analysis of sources, literary analysis, and the comparative method.
Dynamics and variability of the conflict in Ukraine. Condition and perspective analysis
Authors: Orzechowski Marcin
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this article is to analyse the dynamics and variability of the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. As noted in the introduction, the term “conflict” refers to the state of bilateral relations between the two countries since 2014, nevertheless, for the analysis of the current state of the conflict, the key date is 24 February 2022. Since the start of the invasion, described by the Russians as a “special military operation”, we have seen an increase in the dynamics and intensity of the conflict at all levels. The intensification of military operations has also affected the political, economic, and social spheres. Just when it seemed that the so-called “annexation referenda” would mark a new phase in the course of the conflict, and the scenario of a “Ukrainian version” of a low-intensity conflict would become more feasible, it turned out that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed not only the situation on the frontline but also dynamized the other levels on which the conflict is taking place. This forced the author to update the analysed phenomenon. The article concludes with the constatation that we are in a “period of transition”, and the coming winter may once again change the situation of both sides in the ongoing war. Celem artykułu jest analiza zmienności i dynamiki konfliktu pomiędzy Federacją Rosyjską i Ukrainą. Jak zaznaczono we wstępie, termin „konflikt” odnosi się do stanu stosunków dwustronnych pomiędzy tymi państwami od 2014 roku, niemniej jednak, dla analizy obecnego stanu konfliktu, kluczową datą jest 24 luty 2022 roku. Od rozpoczęcia inwazji określanej przez Rosjan „specjalną operacją militarną” obserwujemy wzrost dynamiki i intensywności konfliktu na wszystkich poziomach. Intensyfikacja działań militarnych wpłynęła także na sferę polityczną, ekonomiczną i społeczną. W momencie kiedy wydawało się, że tzw. „referenda aneksyjne” wyznaczą nową fazę przebiegu konfliktu i bardziej realny stanie się scenariusz „ukraińskiej wersji” konfliktu niskiej intensywności, okazało się, że kontrofensywa Sił Zbrojnych Ukrainy zmieniła nie tylko sytuację na froncie, ale też zdynamizowała pozostałe poziomy, na których ten konflikt się rozgrywa. Wymusiło to na autorze zaktualizowanie analizowanego zjawiska. Artykuł kończy się konstatacją stwierdzającą, iż znajdujemy się w „okresie przejściowym”, a nadchodząca zima może po raz kolejny zmienić sytuację obu stron w toczącej się wojnie.

An Analysis of India's Revealed Comparative Advantage in Merchandise Trade with Australia
Authors: Mustafa Ghulam , Sharma Aroon
Published: February 2023

India's export sector has considerably improved since 1991 economic and trade reforms. It has gained momentum after the signing of various trade agreements with several countries. India and Australia started free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations over a decade ago in 2011 and finally concluded a landmark Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) on 2nd April 2022. This study examines India's trade relations with Australia using the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index and trade intensity index (TII) for exports and imports, to determine the patterns of exports and areas of specialisation of the two countries. The findings suggest that the bilateral trade between India and Australia has not strengthened. However, India enjoys a comparative advantage in several product groups, which fall into the category of primary goods, low-technology manufacturers, and manufactured goods as well. Overall, the RCA is much higher for India's exports than that for Australia's exports to India. The study finds that India has trade potential in several product groups with Australia and efforts should be made to bring greater benefits from the trade agreement for both countries in the years to come.

Background: Dental caries that are not handled properly cause cavities and open the dental pulp so that it becomes a pathway for microorganisms to enter the root canals. The most common microorganisms found in root canal infections are Enterococcus faecalis. Arabica coffee beans have bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, saponins, and tannins, which inhibit the growth of bacteria. This study aimed to compare the antibacterial effectiveness of roasted and non-roasted Arabica coffee bean extracts against bacteria Enterococcus faecalis.

Methods: This study was an in vitro experimental study. This research uses culture Enterococcus faecalis, which were divided into 10 groups (2 control groups, 4 treatment groups of roasted coffee beans, and 4 groups of non-roasted coffee beans). Inhibition zone diameter analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS using univariate and bivariate.

Results: Non-roasted Arabica coffee bean extract showed better effectiveness in inhibiting bacterial growth Enterococcus faecalis, along with increasing the concentration of the extract.

Conclusion: Non-roasted Arabica coffee bean extract is more effective as an antibacterial against the bacteria Enterococcus faecalis compared to roasted Arabica coffee bean extract.

Authors: Duuki Richard
Published: February 2023

This study sought to examine the impact of forced displacement on violence against children. Forced displacement relates to the coerced movement of persons because of either natural or manmade disaster, while violence against children refers to the deliberate usage of physical force or power, either threatened or actual, on oneself, another child or a group of children with resultant impact on the child’s physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. The study was guided by three objectives which included examining the causes of violence against children in the Bidibidi refugee settlement, examining the forms of violence against children in the Bidibidi Refugee settlement, and examining the effectiveness of existing mechanisms to prevent and respond to violence against children in Bidibidi Refugee settlement. In this study, the researcher adopted mixed-method research where both qualitative and quantitative data was collected. The researcher also applied descriptive research to carry out the study. The population of the study was 283,000 from which a sample of 399 was arrived at using the Slovene formula for sample size determination. Respondents were sampled through stratified sampling technique for the survey respondents and purposive sampling for the Key informants. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview guides and focused group discussion guides and was analysed using mean and standard deviation. The study found out that VAC is happening in Bidibidi and is being influenced by several factors including separation of children from parents, lack of livelihood opportunities for caregivers, and lack of awareness raising on child rights. The study further found that unaccompanied children (UACs) in foster care, child-headed households, and adolescent girls are the main categories of children at heightened risk of sexual, physical, and emotional violence.

Towards a use of “legal design thinking” techniques in tax law studies
Authors: Antón Antón Álvaro
Published: February 2023

To build a relationship between Tax Administration and taxpayers based on trust, law science must provide the necessary information related to policies or institutions but also inform taxpayers about their rights and obligations. This information must be known but, above all, understood.The objective is to introduce a paradigm shift in the way legal studies are approached through Legal Design thinking techniques. Specifically, starting from the need for the jurist to study the law, collaborating with other disciplines to design mechanisms that allow the communication of complex information that helps both the understanding of the law and decision-making process.

Tyrimo tikslas. Atlikus tyrimų analizę, įvertinti įvairių tipų anemijų paplitimą bei jų baigtis vyresniame amžiuje. Metodai. Sisteminė literatūros apžvalga, naudojantis kompiuterine bibliografine medicinine duomenų baze „PubMed“, vartojant reikšminius žodžius bei jų derinius. Remiantis įtraukimo ir atmetimo kriterijais, į tyrimą įtraukta 18 straipsnių. Tyrimo uždaviniai. 1. Apžvelgti anemijų paplitimą vyresnio amžiaus žmonių populiacijoje. 2. Įvertinti dažniausias anemijų priežastis vyresniame amžiuje. 3. Įvertinti anemijų baigtis bei įtaką vyresniame amžiuje. Rezultatai ir išvados. Anemijos paplitimas tarp vyresnio amžiaus žmonių svyruoja nuo 10 proc. iki 24 proc. Anemija dažniau nustatoma vyrams. Rizika susirgti anemija didėja su amžiumi. Pagrindinės anemijos priežastys vyresniame amžiuje yra lėtinės ligos sukelta bei geležies stokos anemija. Dažnai anemiją sukelia ne viena, bet kelios priežastys. Apie trečdaliu atvejų anemija lieka neaiškios kilmės. Anemija siejama su padidėjusiu mirtingumu, sumažėjusia raumenų jėga, silpnumu, blogesne gyvenimo kokybe, demencija, širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemos ligomis.

Pasaulyje lytiškai plintančiomis infekcijomis kasdien užsikrečia daugiau nei milijonas žmonių [1]. Daugiau nei 50 proc. lytiškai plintančių infekcijų yra besimptomės arba jų simptomai neišreikšti [2]. Laiku nediagnozuotos ir negydomos šios infekcijos gali sukelti ilgalaikių ir sunkių komplikacijų. Sunkiausios iš jų: priešlaikinis gimdymas, negimdinis nėštumas, nevaisingumas, vidaus organų pažaida, kaip neurosifilis, kardiosifilis [3]. Pagrindiniai lytiškai plintančių infekcijų rizikos veiksniai: lytiniai santykiai be barjerinės kontracepcijos, dažna lytinių partnerių kaita, alkoholio ir (arba) narkotikų vartojimas prieš lytinius santykius [4]. Siekiant mažinti lytiškai plintančių infekcijų plitimą, svarbi savalaikė ir prieinama diagnostika, remiantis specialia apklausa, objektyviu tyrimu ir, svarbiausia, laboratoriniais tyrimais. Straipsnyje pateikiamos rekomendacijos įvairių sričių gydytojams specialistams, dalyvaujantiems lytiškai plintančių infekcijų priežiūroje, kaip organizuoti paciento konsultaciją, kai įtariamos šios infekcijos.
Šeiminė hipercholesterolemija ir staigi netikėta mirtis jaunoje populiacijoje
Authors: Meškinytė Ieva , Misevičius Edvinas , Aukštakalnienė Asta
Published: February 2023

Šeiminė hipercholesterolemija (ŠH) yra genetinė liga, paplitusi visame pasaulyje. Ši liga ir jos gydymas yra aktuali tema šiomis dienomis, nes ŠH priskiriama dažniausiai autosominiu dominantiniu būdu paveldimai patologijai pasaulyje. Nors ŠH paplitimas didelis, tačiau daugumai pacientų ši liga nėra diagnozuojama, todėl nepradedama gydyti laiku. ŠH yra būdinga padidėjęs cholesterolio kiekis plazmoje, ypač didelis mažo tankio lipoproteinų cholesterolio (MTL-C) kiekis. Žmonėms, sergantiems ŠH, yra nustatoma didesnė ankstyvos bei progresuojančios aterosklerozinės širdies ir kraujagyslių ligos rizika, kuri taip pat būdinga ir jaunai populiacijai – vaikams ir paaugliams. Nors staiga sustojusi širdis yra labiau būdinga vyresnio amžiaus žmonėms ir yra viena pagrindinių mirties priežasčių šiame amžiuje, tačiau tai yra ir pagrindinė jaunų sportininkų mirties priežastis fizinio krūvio metu. Staigios išeminės mirties nepakankamas ištyrimas bei blogos baigtys kelia klausimą apie šios ligos pirminės ir antrinės prevencijos strategijas, jų indikacijas, įgyvendinamumą klinikinėje praktikoje bei ekonominę naudą. Ankstyvas šeiminės hipercholesterolemijos (ŠH) diagnozavimas, greitas bei agresyvus gydymas yra pagrindiniai aspektai, siekiant išvengti širdies ir kraujagyslių komplikacijų bei didelio ankstyvo jaunų žmonių mirtingumo, sukelto ŠH. Ši diagnozė remiasi daugybe klinikinių diagnostikos kriterijų, patvirtintų visame pasaulyje, įskaitant DLCN (angl. Dutch Lipid Clinical Network). Diagnozė gali būti pagrįsta ir nustačius mutacijas patologiniuose genuose. Didžioji dalis (70–95 proc.) susirgimų ŠH yra lemiami vieno patologinio heterozigotinio varianto viename iš trijų genų (APOB, LDLR, PCSK9). ŠH gali būti gydoma keičiant dietą, gyvenimo būdą, taikant gydymą statinais. Publikuotų tyrimų duomenimis, šie gydymo būdai gali tik sulėtinti ligos progresavimą, tačiau negali veiksmingai gydyti ligos. Monokloninių antikūnų prieš PCSK9 sukūrimas – tai revoliucinis ŠH gydymo būdas. PCSK9 inhibitoriai žymiai sumažina neigiamų širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemos ligų baigčių riziką. Nors Lietuvoje šie vaistai jau yra, tačiau vis dar nėra kompensuojami. Apibendrinus atvejo kontrolės tyrimų rezultatus, galima daryti išvadą, kad pacientai, kuriems pasireiškia staigi mirtis už ligoninės ribų, neturi „palankaus“ lipidų profilio, tačiau dažnai turi mažesnį nei apatinė normos riba lipidų (BC, MTL ir TG) kiekį. Taip pat manoma, kad nėra reikšmingo ryšio tarp didesnio lipidų (BC, MTL ir ne DTL) kiekio serume ir staigios netikėtos mirties. Tam, kad galėtų būti taikomos geriausios staigios netikėtos mirties prevencijos priemonės, ši sritis turėtų būti dar labiau tyrinėjama.
Agryasangraha – A Cluster of Drugs, Diet & Deeds (Primordial & Quintessentials) as Envisioned in Ayurveda
Authors: Murthy Dr. ARV , Deshpande Aparna
Published: February 2023

The term ‘Agrya’ refers to leading or primary and „Sangraha‟ refers to collection, Agryasangraha literally translated applies to mean collection of leading or principal substances. Agryasangraha in fact comprises of single drugs, food articles or regimen which are either wholesome or unwholesome in the given context. The expression „Agrya’ was first coined by Charaka the ancient Ayurveda physician of great eminence. There is a detailed discriprition of Agryas in Charak Samhita, written around 1000 BC that has pioneered this concept of Agryasangraha. The text has discussed the concept in sutrasthana [the first section of the text] where in a number of primordial materials [Agrya] have been mentioned. Among the other Ayurveda texts only Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtang Hridaya written around 3rd / 7 th century AD have conceived the concept and have made few additions to the collection of Charaka. Ashtang sangraha has mentioned it in 13th Chapter of sutrasthana whereas Ashtang Hridaya has mentioned it in uttarasthana 40th Chapter.
