Gamification of the universities educational process
Authors:   The North-West Institute of Management of the Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Vylkova Elena S.
Published: April 2023

Training of highly qualified specialists in modern conditions requires gamification of the educational process itself in higher education. The article is aimed at substantiating the need to expand the field of game practice in the system of higher education by including gamification of the educational process of universities and outlining the conceptual foundations of the author’s innovative method of organizing the educational and educational process in the system of higher education VIRTUOZ (‘Variable Game Solution of Difficult Educational Tasks’). The article provides a detailed review of the subject field of scientific publications of domestic and foreign researchers on games and game practices in higher education, which showed that they comprehensively consider gamification in higher education, with attention to various types of games. However, the problem of gamification of the educational and upbringing process itself, the tasks solved by it before the author, no one in the Russian Federation and abroad has investigated and implemented in practice. The author substantiates that it is advisable to gamify the organization of educational activities of the university in order to make this process meet the requirements of the transformation of national education, deeper and more justified. The VIRTUOZ method is designed to help in the effective formation of competencies in solving the corresponding specific task: writing a WRC, undergoing practical training and others. The uniqueness of the project lies, first of all, in the fact that it involves the comprehensive interaction of all participants in the educational process; is implemented on the basis of the results of a sociological survey on a particular problem to identify the most difficult tasks; simulates the game situation, based on the specifics of the university, the subject and other factors; ensures effectiveness for all participants in the educational process. The VIRTUOZ project makes extensive use of end-to-end technologies and digital tools. The VIRTUOZ method opens the way for the development and implementation of other innovative game methods for organizing the educational process in higher education.
University as a space for intensification of “collective thought action”: At the intersection of the concepts of “knowledge management” by Nonako–Takeuchi and the SMD approach of G.P. Shchedrovitsky
Authors:   Kuban State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Yurganov Aleksandr A. , Sadym Karine B. , Magakyan Arshaluys K.
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this paper is to describe conceptually (in the discourse of G.P. Shchedrovitsky, I. Nonaka, H. Takeuchi) the parameters and the type of university capable of being a space of collective thinking intensification, i.e. such innovation platform where it is possible not only to solve the “main question” of modern university: “How to match thinking and activity?”, but also to find the balance between the laws of ‘business’ and ‘science’ functioning. We describe the ‘project part’ — the first stage of organizing such a space, thanks to which it becomes possible to intensify the processes of knowledge creation and exchange in the university, as well as the process of forming a more open innovation corporate culture. The methodological basis here is organized communication, which allows the formation of an open system of horizontal social links within the university for the implementation of its innovative activities.

Discrimination from the semiotics of culture perspective
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Mihailova Nadezhda V.
Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is a cultural–semiotic analysis of discrimination as a type of relationships and interactions between Ours and Others. The hypothesis of the study is that the transition to a post-cultural model of the functioning of the semiosphere will contribute to the weakening of the discriminatory potential of semiotic systems. To achieve this goal, the symbolic nature of the images of Ours and Others is considered, which are analysed in the context of their correlation with referents; discrimination as a set of worldview attitudes is associated with sign-generating and metalanguage activities in the field of regulating relations between Ours and Others as signs; outlines the contours of a culture-semiosphere with a reduced discriminatory charge. The novelty of the research lies in the application of a cultural-semiotic approach to the study of the phenomenon of discrimination. The author comes to the conclusion about the ambivalence of chaos as a referent in the context of the semiosis of discrimination: chaos can act both as a referent of discrimination signs and as a referent of anti-discrimination signs through the actualization of its threatening or creative potential. In this regard, a view is being formed on post-culture with its activation of personal life creation and individual semiospheres as a time and space favorable for weakening discriminatory attitudes, ideas and practices while maintaining alienation as a whole as a universal mechanism of cultural self-regulation.
Transformation of religious consciousness in Russia: Unity in diversity
Authors:   Ivanovo State University, Afanasyeva Maria A.
Published: April 2023

The article examines the features of religious consciousness in Russia, uses evolutionary-energy and systemic approaches. The author identifies two lines of transformation of religious consciousness — internal and external. All major confessions are represented in Russia, which determines the internal processes of globalization of religious consciousness. Currently, a common field of religious consciousness is being formed from the interaction of religions, a consensus is being formed on the geopolitical situation of Russia, as well as on the protection of traditional values. At the same time, in a number of regions there is a hidden tension between representatives of different religions and between atheists and believers. In addition, the State plays an important role in the processes of religious life, which is dictated by security considerations, maintaining interethnic and interreligious peace, and the need to combat extremism. The external line of transformation of religious consciousness in Russia is determined by the fact that new religious movements and teachings come to the country from outside, with some exceptions. In each selected line, the levels of religious consciousness peculiar to them are analyzed. National, ethnic, cultural levels characterize the inner line, cultural and cognitive-educational levels are more characteristic of the outer line. The author pays special attention to the highest levels of religious consciousness (system-historical and system-spiritual), which are associated with Russian religious philosophy and Russian cosmism. They determine the integrity of the religious worldview, all its levels, contribute to the formation of a synthetic worldview that unites science, religion and philosophy. These theoretical positions of Russian religious thought are embodied in various spiritual forms, various projects and social formations — at lower levels of religious consciousness.
Um momento populista na religião?
Authors: Burity Joanildo
Published: April 2023

Vivemos um momento populista na religião? Nos termos da análise proposta, sim. O momento populista é, de um lado, a emergência de uma fronteira política separando um nós e um eles, empiricamente manifesta no que muitos temos chamados de onda conservadora – que é qualificadamente uma reação conservadora. De outro lado, o momento populista diz respeito à rearticulação do discurso evangélico minoritário – um discurso em defesa de reconhecimento e ocupação de espaços de influência na sociedade e no estado – com outras demandas de contenção e desmontagem das conquistas alcançadas na linha da pluralização e da minoritização. Esta rearticulação desloca o discurso dos evangélicos em dupla torção: o abandono da lógica minoritária (de demandas formuladas a uma ordem reconhecida como legítima e compatíveis com as de outros atores sociais) para uma lógica majoritária (o discurso da maioria cristã) e a ativação das diferenças – de há muito conhecidas e expressas – em termos antagonísticos.
De princesa Leopoldina a Nair de Teffé: a construção de uma iconografia feminina por Georgina de Albuquerque
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Alves Caroline Farias
Published: April 2023

Dentre a diversidade de obras da artista Georgina de Albuquerque, duas podem ser consideradas icônicas no que diz respeito a sua produção de representações femininas. Sessão do Conselho de Estado e o retrato de Nair de Teffé são duas obras produzidas no início do século XX que dão destaque a duas mulheres: a monarquista e a republicana. Duas obras de gêneros distintos, a pintura histórica e o retrato, que serviram a artista como recurso para apresentar as personagens que viveram em momentos diferentes e distantes da história nacional. Nem tudo se limita a oposições, tanto Leopoldina quanto Nair de Teffé foram mulheres de grande influência política e provenientes de famílias nobres: Habsburgo-Lorena e Teffé von Hoonholtz. Ambas, casadas com chefes de estado, circulavam naturalmente pelos meios intelectuais e culturais de suas respectivas épocas sendo vistas como figuras de poder e nobreza.
O verbo e a luz: a simbologia dos raios luminosos na Anunciação de Cristo
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Abreu Clara Habib de Salles
Published: April 2023

Quais estratégias foram utilizadas pelos pintores, ao longo da história da pintura sacra, para representar plasticamente o mistério invisível e miraculoso da concepção imaculada de Cristo no ventre da Virgem Maria? Em um primeiro momento, este artigo tem como objetivo ponderar os significados simbólicos do feixe de luz que frequentemente aparece em representações pictóricas da Anunciação partindo do alto e indo em direção à Maria. Como objetos de estudo, foram selecionadas pinturas realizadas, majoritariamente, na Europa durante o século XV, nas quais a presença desse feixe de luz é consideravelmente emblemática e evoca significados bastante específicos. Em um segundo momento pretende-se comparar simbolicamente e plasticamente a representação de tal feixe de luz nas Anunciações com a chuva dourada e iluminada presente nas representações do mito clássico de Dânae. A comparação entre a Dânae de Gossaert e uma Anunciação presente em um manuscrito medieval foi utilizada para exemplificar uma possível relação formal e simbólica entre os raios luminosos na Anunciação e a chuva dourada na representação do mito de Dânae.
Depois do Surrealismo, só a antropofagia
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Santini Kethlen
Published: April 2023

Em dezembro de 1924, aparecia La Revolution Surréaliste, a primeira revista do movimento Surrealista. Organizada por André Breton (1896 - 1966), tinha como objetivo lutar contra a alienação da sociedade, estabelecendo uma “nova declaração dos direitos do homem” e contrariando os valores decaídos ou ultrapassados - estes baseados nos faróis do movimento: “a poesia, o amor e a liberdade”. Por outro lado, também em 1924, o grupo modernista de São Paulo, destacando-se Oswald de Andrade (1890 - 1954) - um dos principais líderes do Modernismo brasileiro - lançou um manifesto e um livro de poemas, ambos denominados Pau-Brasil. Segundo Valentim Facioli - na obra organizada por Robert Ponge, Surrealismo e o Novo Mundo (1999) - a obra era um conjunto de poemas de linhagem primitivista, satíricos e humorísticos, tendo como intenção demolir com a herança ainda dominante do nacionalismo conservador e ufanista. Essa nova corrente é contraposta, no ano seguinte, por um movimento nacionalista e conservador liderado por ex-companheiros de Oswald de Andrade. O grupo denominava-se Verde-Amarelismo e era contrário ao Pau-Brasil, tendo como finalidade combatê-lo, pois viu nele aproximações não só com o Dadaísmo e o Surrealismo, mas também, segundo Robert Ponge, porque seria o produto de ideologias exóticas e forasteiras (PONGE, 1999).

Por debaixo da poeira, o brilho assombroso da pintura antiga
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Barros Antônio Leandro Gomes de Souza
Published: April 2023

Sabemos das circunstancias da morte de Plínio, o Velho, por intermédio de duas famosas cartas de seu sobrinho, Plínio, o Jovem, endereçadas a Tácito, narrando a erupção do Vesúvio em 79 d.C. A descrição dos momentos da erupção é tão detalhada e criteriosa que especialistas no assunto admitem não só como verídica a narração, como adjetivaram esse tipo específico de explosão vulcânica como “pliniana”. Diz o Jovem que durante a tarde uma enorme coluna de fumaça escura se ergueu do interior do vulcão até o céu, e do alto começou a encobrir toda a região. O fato, como se fosse providencial, criou uma tenebrosa escuridão no cair da noite que intensificou o fulgor e a radiância quando propriamente da explosão. Nesse momento, Plínio, o Velho, teria saído tranquilamente para observar essa radiância luminosa entre o céu apagado e o tremor do solo. Em seguida, ele teria tentado acalmar os amigos: “equilibrando suas razões, enquanto os outros equilibravam seus medos.” E, por fim, teria serenamente ido se deitar para dormir seu sono sem retorno. Ainda de acordo com a epístola do sobrinho, depois disso o mundo que ele consagrara por completo em sua História Natural ficou submerso em poeira e completamente na escuridão – independente do nascer do sol.
Oitenta anos do Seibi-Kai e a inserção da arte nipo-brasileira na historiografia da arte do Brasil
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Lúcio Carolina Carmini Mariano
Published: April 2023

Em1935, um grupo de artistas oriundos do Japão, formado pelos pintores Tomoo Handa, Hajime Higaki, Walter Shigeto Tanaka, Kiyoji Tomioka, Kichizaemon Takahashi, Yuji Tamaki, Yoshiya Takaoka, pelo escultor Iwakichi Yamamoto e pelo poeta Kikuo Furuno, reuniram-se com o intuito de trocar experiências e conhecimentos sobre arte. Assim nascia o São Paulo Bijitsu Kenkyu Kai-Seibi (Grupo de Estudo de Artes Plásticas em São Paulo), conhecido também como Seibi-Kai. No decorrer de sua longa trajetória unem-se ao grupo os artistas como Manabu Mabe, Tikashi Fukushima, Tomie Ohtake, FlávioShiró, entre outros. Com a fundação do grupo, os laços entre os artistas da colônia e os recém-chegados do Japão se fortaleceram. A produção floresceu e as participações em Salões ganharam força. Mais do que um ponto de encontro para os artistas nipo-brasileiros, durante seus anos de atuação, o Seibi-kai organizou diversas manifestações culturais e artísticas buscando difundir sua produção e estabelecer diálogos com o meio artístico brasileiro. Essas iniciativas fortaleceram a produção poética dos membros do grupo, permitindo que seus artistas participassem de diversas exposições nacionais, fazendo com que hoje suas obras façam parte de importantes acervos museológicos e coleções particulares. No entanto, passados oitenta anos da sua criação, podemos constatar que a produção do grupo é ainda pouco estudada no meio acadêmico e pouco presente na historiografia da arte brasileira. Se os percalços sofridos pelo grupo pertencem ao passado, e o reconhecimento dos artistas fora oficializado através de premiações, maiores estudos sobre sua atuação e produção, ainda é uma questão em aberto. Com as atividades finalizadas em 1972, após quase quatro décadas de atuação, o Seibi-kai foi um dos com maior tempo de atividade, sendo possível perceber em sua trajetória uma história complexa, e entremeada pela história da arte no país. Contudo, esse tempo não foi suficiente para inserir o grupo de maneira contundente na bibliografia em artes produzida no país, com exceção de alguns de seus artistas que alçaram fama internacional. Hoje a maior parte dos membros encontra-se no ostracismo, sendo lembrados apenas em exposições comemorativas sobre a imigração japonesa no Brasil. Desta forma é preciso pontuar as questões da produção do Seibi-kai em consonância com a historiografia oficialmente estabelecida, buscando recuperar sua trajetória e produção, e reconhecê-lo dentro da história da arte brasileira.

As mulheres e a luz na obra de Umberto Boccioni
Authors:   Universidade São Judas Tadeu, Bortulucce Vanessa Beatriz
Published: April 2023

A presença feminina na vida e na obra do artista italiano Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) não se restringiu somente aos seus casos amorosos (como, por exemplo, seu envolvimento com Ines, modelo para muitas de suas obras); sua mãe e sua irmã são frequentemente lembradas e mencionadas em seus diários, cartas e demais textos. As mulheres foram figuras tão importantes na vida de Boccioni que a sua obra – independentemente de estar situada em sua fase pré-futurista ou não – está impregnada de referências ao universo feminino, direta ou indiretamente. Assim, este texto pretende, através de um percurso por algumas de suas pinturas, desenhos e esculturas, traçar um itinerário da poética do feminino em sua obra, e de como o tema da mulher auxiliou no desenvolvimento de suas pesquisas sobre a representação da luz e sua relação com os corpos e o ambiente.

From sentential syntax to syntax of interaction
Authors: Ozerov Pavel
Published: April 2023

The framework of syntactic analysis developed by Izre'el (2018, 2020) situates the simplest structure found in spoken data - the unipartite clause - at the core of its model. The implementation of this framework for the analysis of existential constructions in Modern Hebrew (Izre'el 2022) demonstrates how the unipartite analysis on presumably sentential structures allows us to remodel and bypass former research question, providing a new perspective and novel answers. This contribution attempts to follow up on this analysis and develop it further in an interactional, dynamic perspective. I propose that the discussed framework would additionally benefit from dispensing with other traditional models, which similarly originate in the bipartite view of sentence structure. Shifting away from categories of Information Structure and from the partitioning of information into topic vs. comment/focus and predicate can advance our understanding of language and discourse, while avoiding the pitfalls of problematic and poorly definable concepts. In this view, interlocutors do not structure their contributions or interpret others’ speech by identifying topics, comments, foci, or predicates. Instead, they navigate through the interactive discourse relying on low-level local communicative instructions which signal attention requirements, relevance, local discourse moves, interactionally structured discourse relations, epistemic management, emotive stance and more. Situating the analysis in the dynamic perspective of online syntax opens the way to a more refined understanding of the data, and further research questions.

Authors: Ramadhina Anasya Putri , Setyaningrum Trisniartami , Tjempakasari Artaria , Damayanti
Published: April 2023

Background: Vitiligo is an idiopathic disease with a prevalence of 0.5-2% worldwide that causes the loss of melanocyte cells from parts of the body and is characterized by the appearance of well-defined white macules. The pathogenesis of vitiligo is suspected to originate from genetic, non-genetic, and autoimmune factors. Currently, Narrowband Ultraviolet-B (NB-UVB) is the first-line phototherapy treatment to treat vitiligo. Purpose: To evaluate the profile of vitiligo patients who were given phototherapy at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital for the period January-December 2019. Methods: This study used a retrospective descriptive research design with descriptive statistical methods. In this study, the medical records were evaluated by recording the patient's age, gender, occupation, history of illness, family history, and results of a physical examination. Result: This study obtained 31 samples that received phototherapy dominated by the age range of 17-25 years (29%) and male gender (55%), with a ratio of 1:0.82 to women. The majority work as others (68%). The most common trigger factor was emotional stress (29%). According to physical examination, the majority of patients had multiple lesions (81%), were not widely available (58%), and were of the generalized type (52%). Conclusion: It can be evaluated from the most data obtained: 17-25 years old (29%), male gender (55%), other occupations (68%), emotional stress triggers (29%), multiple lesions (81%), unavailable lesion area (58%), and generalized type (52%), describe the profile of vitiligo patients in Dr. Seotomo General Academic Hospital in 2019.

Authors: Sunarto Olivia awwalin , Suyoso Sulaksanaswastho , Adhi Dharmasant Prasti
Published: April 2023

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are 6 million new cases of syphilis worldwide per year. The incidence of syphilis in Indonesia has increased over the past few years, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Purpose: To report a case of secondary syphilis with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) coinfection in MSM, thereby increasing understanding of high-risk sexual behavior among MSM. Case: A 26-year-old man with a chief complaint of rashes on both palms, soles of the feet, and face. The rashes spread with no itching, heat, or pain, which occurred two weeks ago. The patient was diagnosed with HIV in 2019. Physical examination found multiple violaceus macules with clear boundaries, 0.5–1 cm in size, covered with scales. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) serology titer was 1:16 and Treponema Pallidum Haemagglutination Assay (TPHA) was 1:20.480. The recent CD4 count was 440 with an undetectable HIV RNA viral load. Benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units was given intramuscularly 3 times at 1-week intervals. The patient experienced clinical improvement and decreased VDRL and TPHA titers. Discussion: Syphilis patients with or without HIV would have similar clinical symptoms. However, syphilis patients with HIV tend to have more extensive lesions. The treatment option with three doses of benzathine penicillin G is still very effective in cases of syphilis with HIV. Conclusion: Syphilis has a higher incidence in MSM patients with extensive clinical manifestations of skin lesions. It can be observed in syphilis patients with HIV; therefore, close monitoring is needed.
Exploring the Contingent Role of Effort Expectancy on Online Purchase Intention in E-commerce Application
Authors: Octalina Lydia Ery , Rahimah Anni , Arifin Zainul
Published: April 2023

Objective: This study examines the influence of hedonic and utilitarian values on perceived benefits and their impact on purchase intention by using effort expectancy as a moderating variable.
Design/Methods/Approach: This study adopts a quantitative approach by employing a non-probability sampling technique to collect a sample of 175 respondents who had used the Shopee application in Malang. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS through the measurement model test (outer model) and structural model test.
Findings: The results show that hedonic value and utilitarian value have a positive and significant effect on perceived benefit, hedonic value and utilitarian value have a positive and significant impact on purchase intention, and perceived benefit has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. However, effort expectancy does not have a significant role in moderating the relationships.
Originality/Value: The limited extant literature only addresses a simple direct–effect relationship between effort expectancy toward behavioral intention and use behavior. Drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use, this research provides deep insight through position effort expectance as the moderation role. Also, this study elaborates on the effect of utilitarian and hedonic values on perceived benefit. In turn, this framework also explored the influence of perceived benefit on consumer intention to purchase in electronic commerce, further advancing an understanding of this dynamic subject matter.
Practical/Policy Implications: The study contributes to the existing knowledge of managerial practice by pointing out the importance of effort expectancy, which shapes the consumer's perceived benefit, and illustrating its impact in the case of purchasing intention in an e-commerce application. E-commerce companies can enhance the customer experience when accessing applications to invigorate purchase intention. E-commerce companies need to maintain their performance in terms of app ease of use and provide innovations by providing more user benefits, thereby creating loyal customers. Eventually, the company should keep earning society's trust as reliable e-commerce that meets the needs of today's digital era.

Authors: Novianti Puspita Pratama , Balqiah Tengku Ezni
Published: April 2023

Objective: This study examines the benefits of online brand community interactivity in social media in the Indonesian automotive sector.
Design/Methods/Approach: The proposed model was empirically assessed using survey data from 332 Indonesian-based automobile online brand community members on social media. In addition, the link between the constructs in the research model was examined using SEM PLS.
Findings: The findings strongly link perceived interactivity and community benefits. In Addition, the results also demonstrate that community members' trust in a brand strongly and positively impacts brand loyalty. Special treatment and a sense of membership increase members' trust in the brand and community satisfaction. However, social influence has negligible effects on community satisfaction.
Originality/Value: This study combines value, trust, and satisfaction as the mediating variables in the relationship between interactivity in the online community and loyalty.
Practical/Policy implication: Given the results, brands should provide flexibility to access information or content by optimizing the usage of social media features that members can easily access anytime, such as adding links to the Instagram bio or description on Facebook or WhatsApp groups. Enhancing these community benefits can be done by ensuring that the information circulated within the community is accurate and informative.

In the mobile pre-hospital environment such as the SAMU, the nurse has several functions in the areas of care, administration, operation and supervision, and must participate in the review of protocols and provide training for the other professionals in the team. Despite this, changes have been taking place over the years in relation to the performance of nursing, improving legal aspects and increasing the autonomy of nurses. The general objective of the research is to analyze the role of nurses in urgent and emergency mobile pre-hospital care, and as specific objectives to describe the nurse's attributions as a member of the urgent and emergency mobile PHC service team, to point out the difficulties and challenges exist in the nurse's work and discuss the importance of the nurse in the mobile emergency APH. Thus, the present work is an integrative literature review, using the following descriptors: “emergency assistance”, “pre-hospital care” and “emergency nursing”. The work was prepared between February and May 2022, using studies published between 2012 and 2022. Such works were found in the SCIELO, LILACS and MEDLINE databases. As a result, the nurse must act as an advisor by participating in the review of protocols, in the elaboration and organization of educational content and as a professional of the multidisciplinary team of accidents and disasters. However, the nurse in the PHC has been exposed to unfavorable ergonomics, low salaries, exhausting workload, influencing their physical and mental health. Thus, the role of nurses in the PHC is still fragmented, developing little autonomy, despite being extremely important in the composition of the team, as it promotes assistance, management, education, leadership and humanization. Still, the need for continuing education with realistic theoretical-practical training for SAMU nurses was proved, with an emphasis on mental health for patients in psychiatric crisis.

A paralisia cerebral (PC) é retratada como um distúrbio congênito neurológico que se caracteriza por alterações no movimento, na postura e principalmente no tônus muscular. Essas irregularidades são decorrentes da lesão não evolutiva no sistema nervoso central, causando assim, um falho desenvolvimento do sistema ainda no útero, durante o parto ou até os dois primeiros anos de vida. O presente estudo consiste numa revisão de literatura sistemática, desenvolvida para fins científicos, com enfoque no uso da realidade virtual em pacientes com paralisia cerebral, fundamentamentada principalmente em crianças. Houve uma rigorosa análise nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane, BVS e Science Direct por meio de uma pesquisa aprofundada com os seguintes descritores: Virtual reality, cerebral palsy, children and physiotherapy. Após a leitura do título e objetivos dos artigos, notou-se que alguns se repetiam nas diferentes bases de dados, tendo como critério de seleção artigos entre anos de 2019-2022, junto àqueles estudos onde encontrava-se como revisão literária, associado a trabalhos que usaram qualquer forma de realidade virtual em pacientes com paralisia cerebral. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam fatos de que a realidade virtual afeta positivamente nesse distúrbio neurológico, demonstrando-se muito eficaz em membros superiores e inferiores, agindo de forma convicta na marcha, aumentando e conversando a amplitude de movimento, resultando em uma melhoria na percepção espacial e nas funções executivas, potencializando o equilíbrio e controle postural. Conclui-se que a realidade virtual é relevante, pois proporciona uma significativa melhora em todos os aspectos funcionais, trazendo abordagens terapêuticas positivas na melhora da qualidade de vida do paciente com paralisia cerebral. O objetivo do estudo consiste em retratar sobre os efeitos da realidade virtual como uma das intervenções a serem utilizadas como meio de abordagem fisioterapêutica na reabilitação de crianças com paralisia cerebral.
The Present Situation and Optimization Path of College General Education in the New Era
Authors: Ruan Lulu
Published: April 2023

An important part of the higher education system in the new era is the general education. With the deepening of undergraduate education reform, more and more colleges and universities have focused on general education. Our country has been practicing the professional education model for a long time, which has led to some problems, such as a deviation in the education concept, a slow integration in the education mode, and a narrow field of vision in the curriculum. The development of general education in colleges and universities in the new era should go beyond the traditional misunderstanding, recognize the importance of general education, make effective integration with professional education, make full use of its own unique ideological connotation and outstanding characteristics, and strengthen the effective linkage with professional education.

Published: April 2023

El propósito de esta investigación fue estudiar si el uso de la calculadora disminuye la ansiedad de los estudiantes en la asignatura de Probabilidad y Estadística. Concretamente, la investigación se realiza con 30 estudiantes de la carrera de Ingeniería, para llevar a cabo el estudio, se dividen en dos grupos de 15 estudiantes. Se utiliza las preguntas del Factor de Ansiedad de la Escala de Actitud hacia las Matemáticas. El primer grupo hace uso de la calculadora CASIO fx 991 para las clases de práctica de Probabilidad y Estadística y el segundo grupo no utiliza ninguna herramienta tecnológica. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes que usan la calculadora tienen menor ansiedad y comenten menos errores que los estudiantes que no la utilizan. Por tanto, sería recomendable e importante que el docente fomente la utilización de la calculadora en la clase así facilitaría el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje.

Case:

We present a delayed failure of an M6-C cervical disc arthroplasty after conversion of a subjacent failed cervical disc arthroplasty to fusion. The annular component had failed, and the core had been ejected. Histology demonstrated a giant cell reaction to polyethylene debris, and tissue cultures were positive for Cutibacterium acnes.

Conclusion:

This is the first report of M6-C failure after conversion of an adjacent arthroplasty to fusion. A growing number of reports surrounding the M6-C failure rate and mechanisms raise concern about the device's durability and underscore the importance of routine clinical and radiographic surveillance for these patients.

Background:

When patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are referred to an orthopaedic specialist for care, standard evaluation includes anterior-to-posterior (AP) weight-bearing (WB) radiographs to best evaluate the degree of arthritis and residual joint space, which can tailor treatment recommendations. Primary care guidelines do not require radiographs for their diagnosis; if performed, they are often non–weight-bearing (NWB). This study assessed the significance of joint space narrowing (JSN) between NWB and WB knee radiographs in patients evaluated for OA. We also compared demographic data with the measure of JSN.

Methods:

This was a prospective quantitative study that followed an experimental design comparing the JSN of the same AP NWB knee with WB knee radiographs. Two blinded fellowship-trained orthopaedic adult reconstruction surgeons and 1 musculoskeletal radiology fellow performed the joint space measurements. Data were analyzed using the Student t test and χ2 test as appropriate.

Results:

The mean JSN between WB and NWB was 1.20 mm (95% confidence interval 0.93-1.49 mm, p < 0.0001). Interrater reliability between NWB and WB measurements was 0.87 and 0.93, respectively. As body mass index (BMI) increased in our population, the amount of JSN decreased. There were significantly higher rates of JSN in those who were not obese compared with those who were.

Conclusions:

Weight-bearing radiographs are better able to evaluate JSN than NWB. BMI had a negative correlation with JSN in our population.

Level of Evidence:

II.

» Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) are both metrics at interpreting patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

» MCID values tend to vary significantly depending on the baseline pain and function in both acute and chronic symptom states while PASS thresholds are more stable.

» MCID values are more easily attainable than PASS thresholds.

» Although PASS is more relevant to the patient, it should continue to be used in tandem with MCID when interpreting PROM data.
