Produksi sampah plastik yang dihasilkan terus mengalami peningkatan di perairan sehingga menjadi permasalahan global. Potongan sampah plastik berukuran kurang <5 mm yang disebut mikroplastik, saat ini telah mencemari lingkungan perairan baik bagi organisme maupun bagi manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi keberadaan jenis dan jumlah mikroplastik pada ikan Caranx sexfasciatus yang dibudidayakan di perairan Teluk Ambon. Penelitian dilakukan pada April 2020 dengan lokasi pengambilan sampel ikan pada keramba jaring apung di perairan Teluk Ambon. Metode pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling yaitu penentuan sampling dengan tujuan tertentu. Analisa jenis dan jumlah mikroplastik dilakukan pada laboratorium zoology FMIPA Unpatti. Analisa data dilakukan dengan menampilkan jenis dan jumlah mikroplastik dan dibahas lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat jenis film dan fiber dengan jumlah masing-masing 95 partikel dan 658 partikel. Keberadaan kedua jenis mikroplastik ini disebabkan adanya aktivitas pembuangan sampah yang berasal dari masyarakat sekitar maupun yang terbawa arus pasang surut.
COVID-19 and its implications for thrombosis
Authors: OZKOCAMAN Vildan
Published: March 2021

COVID-19 is a systemic infection with a significant impact on the hematopoietic system and hemostasis. Reported findings indicate that immunosuppression, endothelial activation, and direct viral-mediated tissue damage rather than hyperinflammation-related injury mediates COVID-19 induced organ dysfunction. If direct infection drives injury, the vascular tissue is expected to be quite susceptible as it highly expresses angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2), which is essential for coronavirus uptake. Viral injury, disordered cytokine release, and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) induce localized microvascular inflammation, which triggers endothelial activation, leading to vasodilation and pro-thrombotic conditions. It has been shown that lymphocytes express the ACE-2 receptor on their surfaces thus, SARS-CoV-2 may directly infect those cells and ultimately lead to their lysis. Furthermore, the cytokine storm is characterized by markedly increased levels of interleukins and TNF –alpha, which may promote lymphocyte apoptosis. Apoptosis mediates lymphocyte depletion and inhibitory effects of lactic acid on lymphocyte proliferation.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication especially following arthroplasty surgeries. The outcome of these cases is affected by the pattern of infection, causative microorganism, and antibiotic resistance. This study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of PJI, distribution of causative microorganism, antibiotic resistance, and risk factor profiling.Methods: A retrospective review was performed by arthroplasty registry evaluation from 2008-2018, followed by a medical record review and patient interview. Distribution of causative microorganisms, antibiotic resistance patterns, and the onset of infection was extracted. Risk factor evaluation was performed by assessing preoperative (age, body mass index (BMI), frailty index) and perioperative parameters (duration of surgery, number of previous surgeries, the interval between those surgeries). Results: Seventeen patients were diagnosed with PJI (13 hip and 4 knees), with a prevalence of 1.56% and 1.77% respectively. The most common causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with multiple antibiotic resistance patterns. These infections mostly occurred in patients with the age of 40-60 years, BMI 30kg/m2, and pre-operative frailty index of 4. The perioperative risk factor was the duration of surgery for more than 3 hours, have undergone more than 3 surgeries with an average surgical interval of 2 months.Conclusions: The prevalence of PJI in this series was 1.56% in hip and 1.77% in the knee. The risk factor profile showed that most cases have high BMI, prolonged duration of surgery, and a high number of previous surgeries within a short interval.
Letter from the Editors: Engaging with Oceania: Some Background about the Region – and Why It Matters for IB Research
Authors: Rose Elizabeth L. , Salesa Damon , Benson-Rea Maureen , Raskovic Matevz (Matt) , Osegowitsch Tom
Published: March 2021

This special issue aims to introduce readers to the southern Pacific region of Oceania, which includes Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia, New Zealand, and Polynesia. This region represents remarkable diversity of institutions, cultures, and languages, and its history and economic development are deeply intertwined with the ocean. While typically viewed as a collection of geographically-remote and generally small-population island nations, relative to global centers, Oceania offers an interesting context for IB research, with respect to a variety of issues, from the impact of climate change to cross-cultural management and geopolitics.
Esquisse d’une sociologie des mobilisations anglophones au Cameroun
Authors: MANGA KALNIGA JOSÉ DONADONI , ANYI MUKEP MASSA BAYIE KAMANDA
Published: March 2021

Le paysage politique et institutionnel au Cameroun depuis la décolonisation connaît des vagues successives de crises qui placent cet État dans une incertitude structurelle. Cette incertitude est aussi politique et dévoile alors un appel d’une autre forme d’État par les sécessionnistes et un vœu de participation à la gestion des affaires au niveau suprême, régional et communal. Ces contestations de la forme de l’État unitaire se sont matérialisées par la résurgence de la question anglophone. Ce texte évoque les logiques des mouvements sociaux et de l’État dans la gestion de la crise anglophone. En d’autres termes, comment l’incertitude du lendemain et de la gestion de l’État a-t-elle engendré des ruptures et des revendications sociales et politiques au Cameroun? L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les stratégies de mobilisation des acteurs de la crise anglophone tels que les pouvoirs publics, la communauté internationale et les organisations de la société civile. Il s’agit précisément de décrire et d’analyser les mécanismes de mobilisation des ressources. Pour appréhender cette réalité, l’article recourt à la théorie des mobilisations multisectorielles pour décrypter les ruptures, les continuités, les inflexions et les trajectoires des luttes qui structurent la scène sociopolitique au Cameroun. Il s’appuie sur l’exploitation des archives documentaires et de la presse locale pour retracer l’incertitude structurelle ayant engendré la crise.
Qualitative Interview Design: A Practical Guide for Novice Investigators
Authors: Turner Daniel
Published: March 2021

Qualitative research design can be complicated depending upon the level of experience a researcher may have with a particular type of methodology. As researchers, many aspire to grow and expand their knowledge and experiences with qualitative design in order to better utilize diversified research paradigms for future investigations. One of the more popular areas of interest in qualitative research design is that of the interview protocol. Interviews provide in-depth information pertaining to participants' experiences and viewpoints of a particular topic. Often times, interviews are coupled with other forms of data collection in order to provide the researcher with a well-rounded collection of information for analyses. This paper explores the effective ways to conduct in-depth, qualitative interviews for novice investigators by employing a step-by-step process for implementation.
Using Qualitative Research to Identify and Address the Unique Needs of Caregivers of Persons with Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Wheeler Breanda
Published: March 2021

This paper reviews articles describing qualitative research that explores the unique needs of caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Qualitative research methodologies used in these studies include hermeneutic phenomenology, descriptive studies with focus groups, and individual interviews. Researchers identified needs and concerns unique to caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease including the need for knowledge about the disease, care recipient and caregiver issues, resource needs, and coping post-nursing home placement. Suggestions for addressing the needs were given by study participants. Implications for nurses and other professionals working with caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease were addressed. The importance of qualitative research in bringing understanding of the essence of caregiving of persons with Alzheimer's disease is well-documented in this review.
Theoretical Considerations in Qualitative Interviewing
Authors: Cooper Robin
Published: March 2021

You might expect a book on interviewing in qualitative research to focus solely on the procedures of conducting interviews; however, in Reflective Interviewing: A Guide to Theory & Practice, Kathryn Roulston (2010) offers this perspective and much more. In particular, her new book addresses ways in which the researcher's theoretical perspective can inform not only the interview but also each stage of the research process. This thoughtful, well-written text also includes at the end of each chapter helpful suggestions of further reading and activities that relate to the chapter's topic.
A Synopsis of Synthesis: A Review of Major and Savin-Baden's An Introduction to Qualitative Research Synthesis
Authors: Smithmyer Christopher
Published: March 2021

This review looks at the book An Introduction to Qualitative Research Synthesis: Managing the Information Explosion in Social Science Research, by Claire Howell Major and Maggi Savin-Baden. Following the format for reviewing a book presented by the University of Alberta (2010), this review analyzes the book by audience, point by point, and then gives a general overview of the reviewer's opinion of the book. The book has several strong features, such as the procedural explanations and the clear defense of criticisms of synthesis, few failings, and presents a strong introduction for several audiences. Overall, this is a book well worth reading due to the strong content and the valuable procedures which Major and Savin-Baden provide.

Authors: Wulff Dan
Published: March 2021

Indigenous research methods offer important considerations for qualitative researchers. The emphasis on relationships over knowledge, participation over expertism, and holism over specialized understandings draw striking distinctions for the researchers invested in honouring their participants. This highly readable and creative book presents research practices that respect the inseparability of research and other practices of living.
A Reflexive Pragmatist Reading of Alvesson's Interpreting Interviews
Authors: Gearity Brian
Published: March 2021

Remember those interviews you collected for that qualitative research study? How did you address issues of interviewee power, impression management and rationality? Was it "trustworthy"? Really? In Interpreting Interviews, Mats Alvesson summarizes the current state of thought on interviews as a tool for qualitative data collection and challenges this framework as simplistic and failing to account for its complexities as a social act. Alvesson argues for a critical consciousness and pragmatic approach to interviews. This review blurs genres from autoethnography and more traditional approaches while taking Alvesson's approach, reflexive pragmatism, to its logical consequences. As a whole, Interpreting Interviews is timely, intellectually stimulating, and the latest (un)fortunate wrench in the qualitative research machine.
Competency-Based Education: Examining Educators’ Experiences
Authors: Bingham Andrea , Adams Matthew , Stewart Randall Lee
Published: March 2021

Competency-based education (CBE) is an increasingly popular instructional model in K-12 schools. In this qualitative case study, we examine how teachers make sense of CBE, and what challenges they in implementing a CBE model. We find that CBE teachers’ teaching identities had to undergo a shift to truly engage in CBE. Rather than acting as conveyors and assessors of knowledge, teachers had to construct their classrooms in a way that engaged and supported students in owning their own learning. We also found that educators face challenges around time, communication, and alignment.
External Disruptions to Qualitative Data Collection: Addressing Risks Relating to Brexit and Researcher-Participant Rapport
Authors: Esmene Shukru , Kirsop-Taylor Nick
Published: March 2021

In this paper we present the importance of detailing the contextual conditions of a qualitative study to highlight any potential participant-researcher tensions. We emphasize the importance of understanding context in rich detail to expose societal complexities while maintaining positive participant-research rapport. Through two cases, this paper considers that bracketing, reflexivity, and transparency can be applied to form appropriate strategies to deal with external disruptions to qualitative fieldwork. The cases draw on Brexit’s impact on two studies conducted in the United Kingdom. In so doing, we argue that time, relevance, and the individuals involved can coalesce to express varied influences on a study. Thus, bracketing, reflexivity and transparency become vital to dealing with such influences; particularly when they are disruptive to a study. Overall, the strategic approach outlined by this paper can be used to maximise awareness of potential sources of tension in the field and to deal with any tensions that do arise.
Encounters at Manuscript Preparation: Inquiry in Conflict’s Aftermath
Authors: Sadlier Stephen
Published: March 2021

This exercise of the researcher self explores relationships materializing in manuscript preparation, suggests that conflict-site research is more of a social and affective experience, from proposal to manuscript preparation, than most researchers realize. Outside of clinical and ameliorative approaches, little educational research focuses on ongoing, unresolved conflict. Even less sheds light on the experience of the conflict-site researcher. Here, I show how texts of other conflict-site writers accompanied my process of manuscript preparation, just as activist teachers I observed during the field work phase stood among peers when protesting and facing police repression. Correspondingly, I discuss an intertextual approach of reaching out to others and drawing on published stories while composing the main narrative of my manuscript, Movements on the streets and in schools. I call this practice conrading based on my turning to Anna Tsing and W. G. Sebald who had turned to the stories of Joseph Conrad in their books. As I called upon other authors who wrote about conflict in my assembling a social movement-based manuscript, moving forward, I suggest the uptake of social and textual relationships will become important when researching in times and spaces of pandemic, state repression and institutional defunding.
The Linkage among Customer Equity Drivers: Building Customer Value Equity Model
Authors:   Institute of Business Studies, KUST, Khan Ammar Ali
Published: March 2021

This study examines the relationship among customer equity drivers and develops the customer value equity model. Many companies are facing the problem of how to use the customer equity and which of its drivers should be focused first. By exploiting the relationship among customer equity drivers, a customer value equity model is developed and tested in the fast food sector. Data was collected from three hundred consumers of national and multinational fast food restaurants in Peshawar. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship among the customer equity drivers such that brand equity of a fast food restaurant is significantly related with customer value equity as well as customer relationship equity. Similarly, customer relationship equity is significantly related with customer value equity. Hence, the study empirically validates the model of customer equity drivers which provides a sound base at least in its initial stage for marketing managers to develop and manage the value equity of their brand. The study findings present important theoretical and practical implications along with future research directions.

Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a widely used procedure in treating morbid obesity. The LSG can lead to complications some of which can be fatal as leakage. Several strategies can be used to treat leakage after LSG as conservative management, endoscopic stenting, exploration and drainage with feeding jejunostomy or conversion to Roux en Y bypass with or without a proximal gastrectomy. Patients and Methods: In this study we tried to evaluate the use of double pig tail inserted by endoscope as a procedure of internal drainage in the management of leakage and fistula formation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in attempt for fistula healing without the need for surgical intervention. 436 primary sleeve gastrectomies were performed with 23 cases (5.27%) of leakage meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: The mean time for presentation with leakage was 16.87±5.89 days. The most common site for leakage was at the cardio-esophageal junction (91.3%) compared to the body of the stomach (8.7%). The maximum diameter of the collection intraabdominal ranged from 4-12 cm with a mean of 7.43±1.86 cm. Patients suffered from fever (95.7%), pain (69.6%) and tachycardia (69.6%). The leucocytic count ranged from 9.5-17.5 x 103. The mean time for endoscopy was 2.96±0.77 days. Closure was achieved in 19 patients out of 23 patients (82.6%) as evidenced by gastrograffin meal while 4 patients (17.4%) suffered from persistent fistulae. Time taken for closure was 60.95±14.28 days. Four patients had persistent fistulae. Two other patients had stenosis at the midbody after closure of the fistula due to excessive fibrosis. Conclusion: The endoscopic internal drainage using double pig tail is a feasible method for the management of stable post sleeve gastrectomy leakage with localized collection. It yields satisfactory results especially if early intervention is initiated before a chronic fistula is developed. This is coupled by enteral feeding either by Ryle or feeding jejunostomy to ensure good nutritional status

Published: March 2021

Purpose: The normal behavior of goat kids is influenced by painful husbandry procedures such as ear tagging, with kids reducing peripheral temperature and increase restlessness. The present study was designed to elucidate that pain caused by ear tagging affects peripheral temperatures and behavioral observations in Karadi kid goats.
Study Design: Experimental Study Design.
Subjects and Methods: Nineteen native black goat kids, aged 10-14 days, were used in this study as a sample. Eye and nasal temperatures were recorded before ear tagging process (control) and after ear tagging 5 times in 30 minutes. In addition, the behavior of each kid was observed for 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after ear tagging using focal sampling recorded with instantaneous time sampling to measure the duration and frequency of each behavior of the kids.
Results: It was revealed that peripheral temperatures were significantly decreased for both eye (P<0.01) and ear (P<0.01) after ear tagging. The temperatures of both eye and ear increased directly after tagging and then decreased significantly (P<0.01) for 30 minutes. The proportion of time kid goats spent normal standing and suckling the dam’s teat decreased whereas the proportion of time spent head-shaking increased after tagging. In addition, abnormal standing was seen after ear tagging which was absent before the process of tagging. Significant differences were found between abnormal standing (P<0.01) and vocalization (P<0.01). While the differences between suckling, normal standing and head shaking were not significant.
Conclusions: It is concluded that ear tagging causes considerable pain in kid goats.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE CONCEPT AND FUNCTIONS OF LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Authors: Орлова А.А. , Бутенко Т.П.
Published: March 2021

Аннотация. В статье анализируется правовое сознание как весьма сложный феномен, который имеет различные аспекты философского, юридического, социально-политического и морального содержания. Оно представляет собой сферу общественного сознания, духовной жизни общества и является элементом правовой жизни. В целом сущностные функции правосознания аккумулируют, обобщают и сосредотачивают в себе содержание и цели реализации права, а также формы и методы этой деятельности. При этом функция это не просто потенциальная, абстрактная возможность, но и сама деятельность субъекта реализации права, подчиненная конкретным целям, которые объективно обусловлены и направлены на достижение определенного результата.

Annotation. The article analyzes legal consciousness as a very complex phenomenon that has various aspects of philosophical, legal, socio-political and moral content. It represents the sphere of social consciousness, the spiritual life of society and is an element of legal life. In general, the essential functions of legal consciousness accumulate, generalize and concentrate in themselves the content and goals of the implementation of law, as well as the forms and methods of this activity. At the same time, the function is not just a potential, abstract opportunity, but also the very activity of the subject of the implementation of the law, subordinate to specific goals, which are objectively conditioned and aimed at achieving a certain result.

Authors: Mandić Ana , Mandić Vlatka
Published: March 2021

Family business represents the most common form of the company ownership and makes around 70% to 90% of all firms around the globe depending on the definition one uses. It is estimated that worldwide, family firms account for about 40% to 70% of employment and GDP. The aim of this paper is to provide overview of main characteristics of family business in general and to analyze key challenges family businesses generally are facing today. Additional aim of the paper is to provide overview of research on family business in Croatia and to analyze characteristic and challenges of family businesses in Croatia. Paper provides brief overview of key trends which can have negative implications on companies, their owners, as well as for a wide network of stakeholders such as family members, customers, suppliers, employees, banks, local government and the national economy in general. Some of the challenges discussed in the paper could be relevant to all types of firms. However, with reference to family business these challenges may be more salient than in nonfamily firms or they may need to be addressed differently.
Urban dunes

Published: March 2021

Sandy shores worldwide suffer from coastal erosion due to a lack of sediment input and sea-level rise. In response, coastal sand nourishments are executed using ‘Building with Nature’ techniques (BwN), in which the sand balance is amplified and natural dynamics are instrumental in the redistribution of sand, cross- and alongshore. These nourishments contribute to the growth of beaches and dunes, serving various design objectives (such as flood safety, nature, and recreation). Nevertheless, human interference (such as buildings and traffic) along urbanized sandy shores may have significant, yet poorly understood, effects on beach and dune development. Better insight is required into the interplay of morphological, ecological and urban processes to support Aeolian BwN processes for dune formation and contribute to the sustainable design of urbanized coastal zones. This paper aims to bridge the gap between coastal engineering and urban design by formulating design principles for BwN along urbanized sandy shores, combining nourishments, natural dune formation and urban development on a local scale to strengthen the coastal buffer. The first part of the paper analyses sedimentation processes in the (built) sea-land interface and identifies spatial mechanisms that relate coastal occupation to dune formation. Hence a preliminary set of design principles is derived by manipulating wind-driven sediment transport for BwN dune formation after nourishment. In the second part of the paper, these principles are applied and contextualized in two case-studies to compare their capability for BwN in different coastal profiles: the vast, rural, geomorphologically high dynamic profile of a mega-nourishment (Sand Motor); versus the compact, highly urbanized, profile(s) of a coastal resort (Noordwijk). Conclusions reflect on the applicability of BwN design principles within different coastal settings (dynamics, urbanity) and spatial arrangements facilitating BwN dune formation.
ROUSSEAU’DA MODERN DEVLET KURAMININ KÖKENİNE, DOĞA DURUMU, TOPLUM SÖZLEŞMESİ VE GENEL İRADE BAĞLAMINDA KISA BİR BAKIŞ
Authors: BAYGÜL Sefa
Published: March 2021

Devlet kuramları birçok düşünür tarafından ele alınmış ve doğru yönetim üzerine çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise ilk olarak devlet nedir? Sorusu ile başlanıp genel bir açıklamada bulunulmuştur. Günümüz modern devletinin doğmasında önemli ölçüde katkısı olan Rousseau hakkında kısa bilgilere yer verilmiş daha sonra Rousseau özelinde modern devletin kökeni, modern öncesi doğa durumundan başlayarak incelenmiştir. Sonrasında Hobbes ve Locke gibi ele aldığı Toplum Sözleşmesi teorisi ile modern devletin ihtiyacına giden yolda düşünceleri ve olması gerekenler ele alınmış ve çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Bu bakımdan Toplum Sözleşme teorisi devleti açıklamada oldukça önemli bir konudur. Çünkü Rousseau’ya göre bireyler tüm benliklerini bir tarafa bırakıp modern devlette sözleşme etrafında birleşmeleri gerekmektedir. Sözleşme sonrası ise bireylerin ortak olarak iradelerini devrettiği genel irade irdelenmiş ve modern devletle beraber ortaya çıkan durumlar incelenmiştir. Bu bakımdan genel iradeye devredilen iradelerle egemenin kim olduğu sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Son olarak Rousseau’nun devlete karşı bakış açısı ele aldığı kuramlar ve düşünceleriyle harmanlanarak genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Rousseau’nun modern devlet anlayışı sözleşme ile birleşen halkın temsil hakkını genel iradeye bırakmasıyla gerçekleşmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı Rousseau’nun bahsettiği devlet tasviri ve nasıl ele aldığı aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Devleti incelemede karmaşık gibi görünen ama halkın özgürlüğü için sistematik öneriler geliştiren Rousseau Aydınlanma ve sonrası Fransız Devriminde çok konuşulan bir isim olarak hafızalara kazınmıştır.

La extinción de la teoría

Published: March 2021

Podemos presuponer de la Tierra, el actual sujeto de nuestros escenarios, una sola cosa: no le importan las preguntas que hacemos sobre ella. Lo que llamamos catástrofe será, para ella, una contingencia. Los microbios sobrevivirán, también los insectos, sea lo que sea que desatemos. En otras palabras, es solamente por las transformaciones ecológicas globales que podemos provocar, las cuales son potencialmente capaces de poner bajo cuestionamiento los regímenes de la existencia territorial de los que dependemos, que podemos invocar a la Tierra como algo que ha sido puesto en acto gracias a nuestras historias. Desde el punto de vista de la larga historia de la Tierra misma, éste será un “evento contingente” más en una larga serie de eventos

El yelmo de Mambrino, o las reglas del lenguaje
Authors: Agami Sobol Margot
Published: March 2021

A partir del análisis de algunos extractos de la obra de Cervantes, este trabajo explora la relación entre las nociones wittgensteinianas de “juego de lengua- je” y “forma de vida” y las consideraciones sobre el lenguaje que implícita o explícitamente encontramos en el Quijote. A partir de ciertas prácticas lingüís- ticas, como nombrar o imitar el lenguaje de la caballería andante, don Quijote introduce un mundo distinto en la realidad de los demás personajes de la no- vela. En el famoso capítulo viii de la Primera parte de la obra de Cervantes, don Quijote llama “gigantes” a los molinos de viento. En tanto que su uso del lenguaje dispara en el personaje una serie de comportamientos particulares, o prácticas ligadas a dicha rotulación, la tesis de este trabajo es que no se trata de un mero problema de denominación. Las prácticas lingüísticas de don Quijote revelan que el significado no es estable, universal ni unívoco, sino que su natu- raleza es dinámica, contingente e intersubjetiva, cualidades que Wittgenstein atribuye a sus conceptos de "juego de lenguaje" y "forma de vida".
La crítica de Kierkegaard a la fe cristiana del"Todo es posible" en Temor y temblor y El concepto de la angustia
Authors: Martínez Gómez Magdiel
Published: March 2021

El pensamiento de Søren Kierkegaard ha sido vastamente trabajado, en torno al concepto de fe y, a su vez, aparece que es una fe ceñida a la interpretación bíblica del cristianismo. Por ello, es frecuente encontrar a Kierkegaard como un pensador cristiano-religioso que, lejos de tomar distancia crítica de la fe, la sigue hasta sus últimas consecuencias y justificación. Sin embargo, por medio de la conexión argumentativa entre dos escritos de Kierkegaard: Temor y temblor y El concepto de la angustia se articularán dos tesis que exponen críticas a la fe. En Temor y temblor, el cuestionamiento aparece cuando la religión cristiana parece desafiar al ser humano con la idea de que “todo es posible”, al transformar la muerte de la ética; es decir, la muerte de Isaac a manos de Abraham, en un sacrificio de fe. En El concepto de la angustia, la crítica sobreviene nuevamente cuando la premisa de la fe, según la cual para Dios todo es posible, quiere vivir en la inocencia de las categorías éticas del bien y del mal. En conclusión, la crítica de Kierkegaard se dirige a la fe del “todo es posible” y tiene como base presuposiciones éticas.

Authors: Dahiya Vijeyta , George Binu Raju , Ramachandran Kizhakkethil , Peter Shamej
Published: March 2021

Actinomycosis is a gradually evolving infection caused by bacteria of genus Actinomyces. Cervicofacial involvement is the most common presentation and palatal involvement is very rare. Presented below is the case report of a 79-year-old diabetic and hypertensive female who presented with nonhealing ulcer over the hard palate for 10 months, which enlarged and formed a large oroantral fistula within 4 months. Following the diagnosis of actinomycosis by histology, complete debridement and removal of necrotic tissue was done. She was treated with intravenous crystalline penicillin 6th hourly for 4 weeks and was discharged on oral amoxicillin for 12 months with regular follow-up. Only four cases of actinomycosis hard palate have been reported in English literature so far.

Transició cap a una nova Secundària
Authors: Musons Mas Jordi , Nomen Jordi
Published: March 2021

Possiblement l’etapa de Secundària és l’etapa que exigeix un major disseny educatiu, en el sentit que ha d’abordar l’ensenyament cap a etapes postobligatòries en el moment evolutiu més complex de l’alumne. Per contra, l’etapa està immersa en un mar de rutines, que en molts casos s’han convertit en la pròpia argumentació per a bloquejar els processos d’innovació tan indispensables en aquesta etapa. Sovint, l’ombra del Batxillerat i la mateixa idiosincràsia de l’etapa han dut aquesta etapa cap a l’immobilisme, l’acceptació d’un altíssim fracàs escolar i també d’una molt baixa implicació de l’alumnat en el procés d’aprenentatge desplegat. En aquest article s’ha mirat de fer una radiografia de la realitat de la Secundària avui, però s’ha mirat, sobretot, de dibuixar el camí a traçar en els pròxims cursos, per engegar processos de transformació que revitalitzin aquesta etapa. El moment és propici; l’actualitat ha dut la innovació de nou a l’imaginari col·lectiu del sistema educatiu. La seva concreció en la Secundària es fa més feixuc a causa de la rigidesa estructural i docent de l’etapa, però avui la necessitat de superar aquest decalatge entre discurs i realitat, en què viuen el nostres joves, s’ha convertit en una urgència que cal abordar amb imaginació i decisió.cisió.

La variabilitat de la freqüència cardíaca (VFC) fa referència al temps de l'interval entre batec i batec del cor. Aquest interval no és fix, sinó que oscil·la constantment i la dinàmica d'aquestes oscil·lacions, juntament amb una anàlisi matemàtica adequada, pot aportar una informació molt valuosa sobre l'equilibri del Sistema Nerviós Autònom (SNA) com a responsable del funcionament del cor.L'anàlisi de la VFC aporta informació sobre qualsevol situació que trenqui l'equilibri homeostàtic en el nostre organisme, és per això que s'estudia la seva variació en algunes condicions associades amb la presència de certes patologies. A l'àmbit de l'entrenament dels esports, donat que l'exercici físic és un agent promotor de l'estrès fisiològic, els canvis de la VFC s'han associat a l'assimilació de les càrregues d'entrenament o certes condicions vinculades a la síndrome de sobreentrenament.Els avenços tecnològics han aportat solucions per analitzar la VFC, en aquest sentit es presenten diferents opcions de software científic per analitzar en profunditat la dinàmica de la VFC, així com diverses opcions d'aplicacions per a dispositius mòbils que cada cop més ocupen aquest espai en el món de l'entrenament esportiu.

Efecto terapéutico del afecto positivo
Authors: Gordillo León Fernando , Mestas Hernández Lilia , Pérez Nieto Miguel Ángel , Arana Martínez José M. , López Pérez Rafael Manuel
Published: March 2021

La capacidad para regular las emociones de manera eficaz facilita la adaptación de las personas al ámbito social y es uno de los elementos fundamentales para entender cómo las personas más resilientes son capaces de afrontar las situaciones adversas y salir reforzadas. El análisis de estas variables permitiría comprender mejor la relación que la literatura científica establece entre el estado afectivo positivo y una mejor salud física y mental. Uno de los aspectos más relevantes en esta relación son las habilidades para reconocer y expresar las emociones, que permiten su fácil integración en programas de prevención y rehabilitación. Además, estas habilidades podrían potenciarse en el contexto clínico a través de la mejora en la interacción emocional entre el personal sanitario y los pacientes, con un enfoque prioritario hacia la regulación de las emociones positivas.
