Authors: Iriani Yofentina , Megasari Novinda Hary , Nurosyid Fahru
Published: December 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu annealing terhadap struktur mikro dan sifat optik lapisan Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3). Lapisan BiFeO3 telah berhasil berhasil terdeposisi di atas substrat quartz menggunakan metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD). Struktur mikro dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRD dan sifat optik dikarakterisasi menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Variasi suhu annealing yang dilakukan yaitu 550oC, 600oC, dan 650oC. Suhu annealing mempengaruhi struktur mikro yaitu ukuran kristal, tingkat kekristalan, parameter kisi serta mempengaruhi sifat optik yaitu absorbansi dan energi gap lapisan BiFeO3. Semakin tinggi suhu annealing maka ukuran kristal, tingkat kekristalan, dan parameter kisi meningkat. Puncak absorbansi mengalami penurunan seiring dengan bertambahnya suhu annealing. Suhu annealing mempengaruhi energi gap lapisan BiFeO3. Energi gap paling rendah yaitu pada suhu annealing 650ºC sebesar (2,45 ± 0,02) eV.
The house of pain and the insect politician: Surveillance and the body in The Fly and The Island of Dr. Moreau
Authors: Riede Austin
Published: December 2019

David Cronenberg's , the definitive film of the body horror genre, poses political questions regarding the limits of human recognition and the disciplinary surveillance techniques employed over the body by ideology. This article reads The Fly alongside novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, arguing that both texts are allegorical explorations of the foundation of human politics, through surveillance and control of both individuals and populations. Brundle's transformation leads him to a Hobbesian 'state of nature', in which he asserts his natural right of self-preservation. The vivisected animals that Dr Moreau creates, however, exist in a highly ritualized political system predicated on the human capacity to experience, understand and remember pain. It is a political system that exemplifies Foucauldean notions of self-control through disciplinarian surveillance. The two texts serve as inverted reflections of one another: in The Island of Dr. Moreau, animals are humanized by the fear of pain, and in The Fly a human is animalized by the experience of pain. Both texts are reminders that, as Elaine Scarry has pointed out, pain has the capacity to eradicate individual humanity. They also remind us that empathy for the pain of others is essentially humanizing.
Qualidade da água de poços paralisados no município de Itapipoca, Ceará
Authors: Barros Isa Bettina B. Furtado , Freire George Satander de Sá
Published: December 2019

O Estado do Ceará, devido à sua localização e clima, possui características bem específicas que afetam diretamente a disponibilidade hídrica na região. A elevada radiação solar incidente no Estado ressalta a necessidade de se realizar uma gestão integrada das águas superficiais e subterrâneas na região. Contudo, cadastros realizados pela Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerais (CPRM) apontam a existência de, pelo menos, 89 poços sem uso no município de Itapipoca/CE. Porém, não são apresentados dados sobre os motivos que levaram a sua inutilização. Assim, diante da necessidade ao acesso à água que predomina no semiárido, o presente trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa sobre os principais motivos que levam os poços da região à paralisação e um estudo sobre a qualidade da água dos mesmos, visando identificar suas possibilidades de reativação e uso. Para tanto, foram analisados cadastros de poços perfurados no Estado, visitas técnicas e análises laboratoriais de amostras coletadas em 8 poços. Durante o estudo foi identificado que os principais motivos para paralisação estão apresentados pela população estão relacionados a problemas de manutenção, baixa vazão, entupimento (acidental ou proposital) e qualidade da água. Por fim, foi possível concluir que apesar das amostras analisadas não atenderem aos padrões de potabilidade estabelecido pela Portaria de Consolidação n° 05/2017, o uso de tecnologias como dessalinização e alcalinização da água poderiam reativá-los.
Dispositional Mindfulness, Perceived Stress, and Mental Well-Being in the Cancer Survivorship
Authors: Liu Xiaoyan , Goh Pei Hwa , Xu Wei , Zhang Jingjing
Published: December 2019

The present study aims to investigate how dispositional mindfulness affects the mental well-being of cancer patients through the way they perceive stress. A total of 182 moderate and advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients volunteered to complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Results showed that perceived stress significantly mediated the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and all dimensions of the mental well-being as captured by the GHQ (i.e. anxiety/depression, social dysfunction, and loss of confidence), and perceived stress was positively correlated with all the dimensions of mental well-being. Results of the Structural Equation Model showed that the model fit the data very well (χ2/df = 1.72，RMSEA = 0.063 (95% CI = 0.014 ~ 0.103), CFI = 0.984, TLI = 0.970, SRMR=0.041). Further analyses showed that dispositional mindfulness predicted all the dimensions of psychological well-being. Specifically, higher levels of dispositional mindfulness predicted reduced subjective perceptions of stress, which in turn predicted lower levels of anxiety/depression, social impairment, and loss of confidence. This study indicated a possible mechanism of intervention focused on improving mindfulness capability. Future work is encouraged to investigate the long-term influence of dispositional mindfulness on perceived stress and psychological well-being in cancer patients with other types of cancer.

Stosunek do Innych w dzisiejszej Polsce. Cień Zagłady?
Authors: Leder Andrzej
Published: December 2019

Stosunek do Innego rzutuje i będzie rzutował na konkretne wybory i losy polskiego społeczeństwa.Podejmując dyskusję znanej uwagi J.T. Grossa, łączącej podejście do imigrantówz nieprzepracowanym problemem polskich „marginesów Zagłady”, autor próbuje umieścićją w kontekście kwestii upodmiotowienia Polaków jako zbiorowości. Stawia tezę, że historycznieuwarunkowana, słaba umiejętność zbiorowego podejmowania odpowiedzialności zatrudne sprawy w podobny sposób określa oba zagadnienia. Tak wzięcie odpowiedzialnościza przeszłość, jak podjęcie jej za teraźniejsze wybory, wymaga bowiem takiej zbiorowejumiejętności. Słabość w tej sferze ogranicza samą możliwość praktykowania zalecanej przezJacques’a Derridę „gość-inności”.
Uwagi o fenomenologii, polityce i etyce obcości
Authors: Kowalska Małgorzata
Published: December 2019

W artykule analizuję znaczenia, jakie można przypisać pojęciu i doświadczeniu obcości.Najpierw przypominam dwa opisy fenomenologiczne tego doświadczenia (odpowiedniowedług Sartre’a i według Levinasa), z których wynika, iż już na tym abstrakcyjnym poziomiedoświadczenie obcości ma sens ambiwalentny: obcy może być doświadczany jako zagrożeniedla mojej podmiotowości, ale również jako wezwanie do jej pogłębienia. Następnie przyglądamsię bardziej empirycznym sposobom doświadczania obcości w świecie społeczno-politycznym,stawiając tezę, iż kryje się za nimi polityczna (w szerokim sensie słowa) konstrukcjaobcości. Wreszcie pytam o moralny sens doświadczenia obcości, konkludując, że również natym poziomie jest to sens ambiwalentny: chociaż słuchanie obcego można uznać za obowiązekmoralny, to moralnie dopuszczalne, a czasem konieczne jest również traktowanie go jakowroga w imię uniwersalnych wartości.
Marański uniwersalizm. Benjamin, Derrida i Buck-Morss o kondycji uniwersalnego wygnania
Authors: Bielik-Robson Agata , Sadzik Piotr
Published: December 2019

Esej ten kreśli nową strategię uniwersalizacji historii, która wyłania się z analizy żydowskiejpraktyki filozofowania w erze nowożytnej. Nazywam ją „strategią marańską”, budując analogięmiędzy sytuacją conversos, którzy zostali zmuszeni do przyjęcia chrześcijaństwa, przechowującprzy tym judaizm „utajony”, a filozoficzną interwencją nowoczesnych myślicieli żydowskich,którzy wkroczyli w idiom zachodniej filozofii, jednocześnie nasycając go motywami wywiedzionymiz ich „partykularnego” kontekstu: nie po to jednak, by podważyć perspektywęuniwersalistyczną, lecz po to, by ją przekształcić. Dla Waltera Benjamina i Jacques’a Derridywłaściwy uniwersalizm okazuje się równoznaczny z „zadaniem tłumacza”: projektem sklejaniarozbitej całości od środka, horyzontalnie, przez wysiłek wielojęzyczności, czyli bez przyjmowaniawyniosłej pozycji ogólnego metajęzyka, który mógłby uzurpować pozycję hegemona.

Próbowanie innych Michela de Montaigne
Authors: Dadlez Jakub
Published: December 2019

W artykule rozważono historyczny przykład myślenia o tym, co inne. Są nim Próby Michelade Montaigne, które jako dzieło z wczesnej nowożytności stawia poważne problemy w interpretacjiwspółczesności jako epoki nowoczesnej, czyli rzekomo bardziej otwartej, mniej dogmatyczneji mniej wrogiej obcym. Omówione zostają cztery figury inności, wobec którychMontaigne już w XVI w. wykazywał szczególną otwartość: innowiercy, „dzikiego”, kobietyi zwierzęcia. Jak się okazuje, Próby skłaniają człowieka współczesnego do rewizji jego poczuciahistorycznej wyższości wobec ludzi z wcześniejszych epok, a zarazem pozwalają muwypracować bardziej sprawiedliwą relację z innymi doby obecnej.

Se estimó una dosis de marbofloxacina (MFX) para tratar infecciones gastrointestinales asociadas a Escherichia coli en cabras de tres semanas de vida. La farmacodinamia de MFX sobre E. coli se evaluó in vitro estimando las concentraciones inhibitoria mínima (CIM), bactericida mínima (CBM) y preventiva de mutantes (CPM). Marbofloxacina se administró en cabras de tres semanas de edad por vía subcutánea a una dosis de 2 mg/kg. Los parámetros farmacocinéticos se estimaron mediante análisis no compartimental. La dosis de MFX capaz de proteger al 95% de una población se calculó considerando la distribución poblacional de los parámetros farmacocinéticos. La eficacia de MFX se evaluó con la relación entre el área bajo la curva y la CPM (ABC/CPM) con un valor de corte de 22 h. Los resultados mostraron que la dosis estimada de MFX para alcanzar la remisión clínica de infecciones gastrointestinales causadas por E. coli y prevenir la emergencia de cepas resistentes en el 95% de una población de cabras de tres semanas de vida fue de 3,179 mg/kg, que a los fines prácticos se fijó en 3,5 mg/kg.
STEEL SAMPLES WELDING DEFECTS DETECTION BY ESTIMATING ENERGY OF CLUSTERS OF ACOUSTIC EMISSION SIGNALS
Authors: Stepanova L. N. , Kabanov S. I. , Chernova V. V. , Kanifadin K. V.
Published: December 2019

Acoustic emission (AE) detection of 5005005 mm size St3 steel samples welding defects. The informative parameters of AE signals recorded during welding with inserts of titanium and aluminum inserted into the root of the weld are analyzed. AE-signals recording was performed by welding diagnostic unit with automatically changing “floating” selection threshold. For coordinates of defects estimation clustering was performed by digital form and AE signals parameters. A comparative analysis of the clustering results was performed for each cluster. In this case, the total count of AE signals, their energy, and threshold levels were set, which were determined in accordance with the proposed algorithm. The degree of danger of defects in the weld was monitored by exceeding AE signal energy threshold level. If the AE signal had a second energy peak and when it exceeds the energy selection thresholds, the weld was rejected. It was experimentally shown that the titanium insert was a dangerous defect when the threshold energy level was exceeded, which was detected both with a high total count of AE signals and with a small number of recorded signals. In accordance with the proposed method, when introducing an aluminum insert into the weld, the defect was not considered dangerous.

Published: December 2019

The article discusses the possibility of monitoring with using SCALP type devices (non-destructive method – NDT) the stress-strain state of external glass from the bonding side when in contact with a conductive coating in products of structural optics (IR). Using the example of two medium-sized IR products, measurements of the surface tension of the glass are given when the antiicing system is inoperative and during operation of this system. The results obtained are considered from the point of view of the accumulation of thermal energy in a closed system (glass-film-glass). Additionally, the obtained results on the possibility of determining the composition of the IR to a depth of 20 mm.
NEW TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS IN THE PRACTICE OF MEASURING POLARIZATION CAPACITY
Authors: Grigoryan L. R. , Bogatov N. M.
Published: December 2019

The paper discusses new circuit solutions in the practice of electrochemical protection of pipelines. The aim of the work is to develop methods for measuring the polarization potential between the two control and measuring points of the pipeline under study. The main measurement methods are considered, a new method for measuring the polarization potential is proposed, based on local polarization current deviation using switched resistive circuits with subsequent mathematical processing of clock measurements. When implementing this method, it is possible to obtain additional information about the absolute value of the resistance of the soil in the control zone. In this paper, a new method of topographical referencing of the detected defect locations to the length of the pipeline under study is considered. Feature differences of the method are the use of a screened cable as a portable cable drum wire, the central core of which is used for galvanic connection of the pipeline with a voltmeter, and a braid for measuring the distance from the measuring point to the current position of the operator, as well as using a single time scale based on two Glonass / GPS receivers located respectively in the control and measuring point and the voltmeter carried by the operator. The proposed method is positioned a pipeline defect with a resolution of 0.1 m.
KAJIAN FAKTOR IKLIM TROPIS PADA PASAR TRADISIONAL (Studi Kasus: Pasar Wonodri Semarang)
Authors: Indraswara Muhammad Sahid , Alghifary Hudan Izza
Published: December 2019

Pasar Tradisional Wonodri di Kota Semarang merupakan salah satu pasar tradisional hasil redesain ulang di bawah arahan Pemerintah Kota Semarang. Minimnya bukaan di sisi Pasar Wonodri juga membuat temperatur ruangan tinggi. Penggunaan penghawaan buatan yang ada di setiap sisi pasar merupakan dampak dari temperatur ruangan yang tinggi. Kenyamanan di dalam pasar sangat dibutuhkan untuk menunjang kegiatan jual beli di dalamnya. Hal ini yang merekomendasikan adanya penerapan konsep arsitektur tropis pada bangunan yang dapat meminimalisir ketidaknyamanan pengguna di dalam bangunan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, lubang ventilasi Pasar Wonodri kurang dari 10% dari luas lantai yang akan di ventilasi dan untuk temperature ruangan pasar wonodri lebih dari 30,5oC yang membuat kondisi lingkungan mulai sukar. Kenyataan tersebut berbanding terbalik yang sebagaimana dituliskan menurut SNI 03-6572 2001 bahwa lubang ventilasi pada bangunan gedung (pasar) seharusnya tidak kurang dari 10% luas lantai yang akan di ventilasi dan untuk temperatur ruangan yang nyaman sesuai teori dari Georg Lippsmeier dan peraturan MENKES NO.261/MENKES/SK/II/1998 berkisar antara 18°C-26°C. Dengan begitu minimnya bukaan bangunan dan temperature ruangan yang tinggi membuat pengguna didalamnya merasa sukar dan kurang nyaman

Plato and Antisthenes in the Phaedo: A Reflexive Reading. Part One
Authors: Mazzara Giuseppe
Published: December 2019

The purpose of this study is not so much to show the presence of Antisthenes in the dialogue, but rather to examine what Plato alludes to. The controversy over ideas between the two Socratics is historically very well-attested, as can already be seen in the Cratylus. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that this controversy must have affected Plato when he was writing a dialogue in which the importance of ideas and his new logic is undeniable. Hence, this paper will investigate the following question: what impact could Antisthenes’ denominative and definitory logic have on the equally denominative and definitory logic presented in the Phaedo given that the latter work in all probability preceded the Sathōn? In light of what is said in the dialogue, the answer focuses primarily on what would not be said. Thus, this study has been divided into two parts: Part one shows how the so-called “second navigation” emerges as an objection to the insufficiency of the responses given by the physiologists. Tellingly, certain “common opinions” are regarded as perplexing and individuals holding them are referred to with the indeterminate tis, which – as is argued – must have included Antisthenes. Indeed, Tht. 108c7–8 reports the latter to have made common opinions a cornerstone of his denomi­native logic. Part two, on the other hand, is devoted to examining the so-called “final argument.” Here, Antisthenes’ presence seems some­what more nuanced given his incomplete knowledge of the new logic of irreversible opposites which was worked out by Plato for the purpose of demonstrating the immortality and indestructibility of the soul. On the other hand, Antisthenes is likely to have prompted Plato to specify the relationship between ideas and things in the definitory logic, since the proponent of the theory of oikeios logos refused to distinguish between the substance and its attributes, the differences and its opposites as well as the opposites of opposites.
The Self as Image and Suddenness: Some Remarks on Plotinus’ Noetic Life
Authors: Lavecchia Salvatore
Published: December 2019

This article focuses on certain dimensions of Plotinus’ notion of the noetic self, which so far have not received sufficient scholarly atten­tion. The evidence of Enn. V 8 makes clear the assumption about the inexhaustible generativity of the noetic self. This generativity implies an intimate relation with the notions of image and suddenness: the former is intended as a medium of unconditional self-transparency, whereas the latter is understood as pointing to the unlimited newness that is char­acteristic of the noetic life, which, according to Plotinus, consists in an indissoluble unity of identity and alterity (Enn. VI 7.13). The aforesaid notions make it reasonable to view Plotinus’ concept of noetic self as pointing to a predominantly relational and dynamic ontology, in which essentialism presupposes no staticity whatsoever, but can rather be seen as a perspective that leads to the development of a harmonious and non-narcissistic creativity.
Die deutsche Legende vom ‚aufgezwungenen Verteidigungskrieg‘ 1914
Authors: Moore Robert C.
Published: December 2019

Dieser Aufsatz ist eine Entgegnung auf Rainer F. Schmidts Artikel „Revanche pour Sedan“ (HZ 303, 2016, 393–425), der gemäß dem revisionistischen Paradigma der ,Initiative der Entente‘ behauptet, dass Frankreich 1914 das Deutsche Reich mit einer gezielten Kriegsvorbereitungs- und Erpressungspolitik provozierte und aufgrund der angeblichen „Kenntnis“ des deutschen Kriegsplans so unter „Handlungsdruck“ setzte, dass sich das Deutsche Reich gezwungen sah, den Ersten Weltkrieg auszulösen. Damit sei die französische Politik für den „Tatbestand einer indirekten Kriegsentfesselung“ verantwortlich. Der Verfasser identifiziert diese Thesen als eine Neuauflage der Topoi des Rechtfertigungskanons der Reichsleitung und Teil eines Projektions- und Umkehrungsszenarios, das nach dem Krieg 1919 durch eine Propagandakampagne des Auswärtigen Amtes gegen den Versailler Vertrag und die Reparationen dafür benutzt wurde, um das Deutsche Reich von der Verantwortung für die Auslösung des Krieges freizusprechen, mit dem expliziten Ziel, Frankreich und seinen Präsidenten politisch-moralisch zu diskreditieren. Bei der Analyse der Thesen Schmidts verfährt der Verfasser mehrgleisig, indem er einerseits zeigt, dass es sich hier um unbelegte Behauptungen und Spekulationen handelt, die nicht auf Primärquellen sondern auf einer speziellen Zitierkette beruhen, und andererseits weist er darauf hin, dass die realen Vorgänge der Vorgeschichte des Krieges und der Julikrise 1914 nur selektiv und teilweise falsch wiedergegeben werden. Im Ergebnis stellt der Verfasser fest, dass die Interpretation Schmidts Ausdruck einer Welle neorevisionistischer Literatur ist, die die Verantwortung für die Auslösung des Krieges auf die Entente schieben möchte, was aber den tatsächlichen Ereignissen zuwiderläuft und sich anhand der Quellen nicht bestätigen lässt.
Patient self-testing in chronic disease management
Authors: O’Kane Maurice J.
Published: December 2019

Chronic disease poses a major burden to patients and health care systems. This review considers how patient self-testing can contribute to the management of chronic disease. Self-testing can only confer benefit if it occurs in the context of an empowered patient who has the skills and training to translate test results into meaningful actions. The benefits may include improved clinical outcomes, greater patient convenience and improved psychological well-being; separately and together these may contribute to reduced costs of care. As self-testing may be expensive and burdensome to patients, it is important that its use in chronic disease is supported by a robust evidence base confirming its utility and efficacy. The design of studies to assess the impact of self-testing poses challenges for the researcher and the quality of evidence presented is often variable. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) provide more robust evidence than observational studies; the intervention under study is not just self-testing but includes the educational support to allow patients to use results effectively. This review discusses the evidence base relating to patient self-testing in diabetes, anticoagulant monitoring and in renal transplant patients and in particular highlights the impact of new technology developments such as flash glucose monitoring in diabetes.

Monitoring of soil temperatur on permafrost in natural and anthropogenic disturbed conditions in the Tunkinskaya Depression
Authors: Voropay N. N. , Kiselev M. V. , Cherkashina A. A.
Published: December 2019

The territory of the study is the Tunkinsky intermountain basin (South-Western Baikal region, Republic of Buryatia) which belongs to the area of sporadic (island) distribution of permafrost. Soil temperature controls many biotic and abiotic processes in it, so it is important to monitor the freezing and thawing regimes in peat and mineral soils. The object of the study is coarse-humic cryogenic soils on sandy lacustrine-alluvial sediments. The first site was represented by natural coarse-humic cryogenic soils under spruce forest, while the second site was organized on the area where in 1960s the forest had been destroyed and the soils were ploughed. At the end of XX century, the arable lands were abandoned, and now they are covered with steppe grasses (the long fallow). Both sites are located on the permafrost. The atmospheric-soil measuring complex was used to study the state of both the perennial and seasonal permafrost at these two sites. The soil temperatures were measured in automatic mode with a time interval of 1 hour from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017 along the soil profile from the surface down to a depth of 320 cm. Anthropogenic interference on one of the sites resulted in changes in vegetation cover, the soil moisture as well as the morphological structure and granulometric composition of the upper part of the soil layer. This caused changes in the temperature regime of the permafrost and its degradation with lowering of its upper limit. The soil on the long fallow is better warmed up and cools down faster than it takes place under the spruce forest. As a result of this, the maximum annual temperature on the surface here is higher by 10 °C, while at a depth of 320 cm – by 5 °C, and the minimum annual temperature on the surface is lower by 7 °C, while at a depth of 320 cm – by 1 °C. On the anthropogenically disturbed area, the warm period (at the soil temperature above 0 °C) on the surface is, on the average, by 22 days longer than on the natural lot. These differences are observed at all depths. As a result, the perennial permafrost is retained under the spruce forest below 130 cm throughout the year (soil temperature −0.2 ÷ −0.9 °C), while on the fallow the zero isotherm during seasonal thawing falls much deeper 320 cm, and the soil in the layer of 240–320 cm warms up to 2–5 °C.

Published: December 2019

Recibido 18 de junio de 2012 •  Corregido 29 de setiembre de 2012 • Aceptado 07 de noviembre de 2012Este ensayo presenta un recorrido general en la construcción de la subjetividad de los sujetos; desde una perspectiva analítico vincular, plantea cómo la intrasubjetividad de cada uno es un producto del interjuego de lo intersubjetivo y transubjetivo, y cómo el estar inmerso en grupos violentos, tanto familiares como escolares, produce que la violencia forme parte de la identidad de los infantes, y los convierte, así, en futuros reproductores de tramas vinculares violentas.

Desafíos de la docencia universitaria desde la pedagogía de la autonomía
Authors: Valdivia Durán Stephanie
Published: December 2019

La educación secundaria costarricense se encuentra rezagada en cuanto a su calidad, pues sigue imperando el modelo educativo tradicional. A raíz de esto, el perfil de estudiante que entra a la universidad se caracteriza por no estar acostumbrado a tener criterio personal o asumir la responsabilidad plena sobre su proceso educativo, es decir no se le educa desde la autonomía. Por esta razón, la docencia universitaria se enfrenta ante el reto de fomentar procesos educativos desde la autonomía, con el fin de que el estudiantado encuentre en la universidad un espacio para desenvolverse de manera integral entre lo personal y lo profesional, desarrollando habilidades que le permitan convertirse en un ser con criterios propios. Uno de los principales retos se encuentra en la mediación pedagógica, principalmente con el estudiantado de primer ingreso, pues al no venir preparados con ciertas habilidades necesarias para la vida universitaria, es el docente universitario quien se las empieza a potenciar. Es por ello que, el presente ensayo pretende desarrollar, mediante cuatro aspectos, los principales desafíos a los que se enfrenta un docente universitario para realizar una praxis pedagógica en la que enfoque su mediación desde la pedagogía de la autonomía de Paulo Freire.
En busca de la inclusión educativa Una propuesta de aula a partir del Aprendizaje Cooperativo y las TRIC
Authors: García Pajares Rodrigo
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar las experiencias surgidas a partir del desarrollo de una propuesta de innovación educativa en un centro urbano de la ciudad de Segovia (España). La finalidad de la propuesta es lograr un modelo de aula inclusivo en el que todos los estudiantes se sientan partícipes del proceso de aprendizaje. Para conseguirlo, hemos decidido unir el modelo pedagógico del Aprendizaje cooperativo (AC), junto al trabajo con las Tecnologías de la relación, la información y la comunicación (TRIC). La razón por la que se combinan ambos elementos es el potencial inclusivo que despiertan por separado, así como el interés por este tipo de prácticas educativas. Con el fin de valorar si la propuesta de aula planteada cumple con los objetivos que nos hemos propuesto, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de caso con el que se pretende comprobar empíricamente su veracidad. Este se elabora a partir de un análisis cualitativo basado en técnicas de observación. Toda la información recogida nos conduce a la divulgación de unas interesantes conclusiones sobre este campo.

Entrevista a la Dra. Úrsula Hauser, psicoanalista de amplia trayectoria en el trabajo con víctimas de conflictos armados. En su trabajo ha convergido el psicoanálisis y el psicodrama en aras de construir una memoria histórica a partir de los relatos de quienes se han visto afectados por hostilidades bélicas, para elaborar, así, otro que desafíe una narrativa hegemónica y conduzca, a la vez, a la formación de un proceso identitario que procure la justicia social.

THE SWEET TASTE OF A STRANGE CITY: GERMAN SPECIALTIES IN OLD POLISH COOKBOOKS OF THE 18TH CENTURY (ACCORDING TO THE MANUSCRIPT «ZBIÓR DLA KUCHMISTRZA TАК POTRAW JAKO CIAST ROBIENIA
Authors: Bulatova Svitlana
Published: December 2019

The article focuses on the recipes for desserts found in an old Polish manuscript cookbook of the mid-18th century, which was part of the Potij-Lubomirskis private book collection. Based on these recipes, the article for the first time determines the peculiarities of speciality desserts originating from the German cities of Nuremberg and Lubeck. The evolution of the culinary art of the period was facilitated by the economic and trade links between German urbancentres, as well as the provision of easy access to imported ingredients, above all sugar. The examination of cooking instructions demonstrates that they closely followed common European, especially contemporary French, examples in the production of jams and baked goods. By the turn of the 18th century, the main technologies of confectionary making came from specialised cookbooks by French authors. The analysis of the manuscript and printed sources makesit possible to identify the perceived curative qualities of desserts and their ingredients and the role of sugar-based confectionaries in defining the social status of not only German but also old Polish elites. At the same time, the article considers the characteristics of old Polish desserts (the so-called ‘wety’), as well as tableware and cutlery served at the table during the Baroque period

Sexual History and Contraception Documentation in Hospitalized Adolescents: Are Technology-Dependent Patients Overlooked?
Authors: Walston James M. , Foster Byron A. , Gardner Tiffany A. , Benchbani Hanae , Noelck Michelle , Austin Jared P.
Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Adolescents are at high-risk for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, yet many do not receive regular preventive care. Hospitalization represents an opportunity for providing sexual and contraception counseling for this high-risk population. Our aim in this study was to assess the frequency of sexual and contraception history documentation in hospitalized adolescents and identify subgroups that may benefit from more vigilant screening.

METHODS:

A retrospective chart review of adolescent patients 11 years of age and older who were discharged from the pediatric hospitalist service at an urban, academic children’s hospital from July 2017 to June 2018 was conducted. Patient and admission characteristics were analyzed for presence of sexual and contraception history documentation. Technology-dependent patients were analyzed separately. In addition, technology-dependent patients were assessed by chart review for developmental appropriateness for screening.

RESULTS:

Twenty-five percent of patients (41 of 165) had a sexual history documented, and 8.5% (14 of 165) had a contraception history documented. Among patients with any technology dependence, 0 had a sexual history documented and only 1 had a contraception history documented, whereas 31.5% (12 of 38) were deemed developmentally appropriate for screening. Female and older patients were more likely to have sexual and contraceptive histories documented than male and younger patients. Patients transferred from the PICU had lower rates of sexual history documentation compared with direct admissions.

CONCLUSIONS:

Hospitalized adolescents, especially those with technology dependence, did not have adequate sexual and contraception histories documented. Improving documentation of these discussions is an important step in providing adolescents with preventive medicine services while hospitalized.
A Magic Therapy Program to Alleviate Anxiety in Pediatric Inpatients
Authors: Pravder Harrison D. , Leng-Smith Amanda , Brash Andrew I. , Elkin David J. , Attard Michael , Rose Brooke , Messina Catherine R. , Chitkara Maribeth B.
Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Hospitalization generates increased psychological discomfort for children and their caregivers. This anxiety can affect the patient-caretaker response to the health care team and the course of treatment. We aim to evaluate the impacts of a magic therapy program, organized and facilitated by medical students, on alleviating pediatric inpatient and caregiver anxiety.

METHODS:

Patients aged 5 to 16 years admitted to an inpatient pediatric unit and their caregivers were eligible for inclusion. Patient-caregiver pairs were randomly assigned to a magic therapy intervention group or a control group. Anxiety was measured before and after the intervention by using validated self-report tools. The Facial Image Scale and Venham Picture Test were used to measure anxiety for young patients, the short State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Facial Image Scale were used for older patients, and the short State-Trait Inventory was used for caregivers. A subset of the intervention group was reevaluated at 1 hour posttherapy. Health professionals were also surveyed regarding their opinions of the program.

RESULTS:

One hundred patients and 90 caregivers were enrolled. The patient magic group’s standardized anxiety was reduced by 25% (n = 47; P < .001) posttherapy. The caregiver magic group’s anxiety was reduced by 24% (n = 34; P < .001). Data suggest that anxiety reductions lasted through at least 1 hour posttherapy. Physicians (n = 9), nurses (n = 8), and pediatric residents (n = 20) supported program continuance, reported favorable impressions, and suggested patient, caregiver, and staff benefits.

CONCLUSIONS:

Integration of a magic therapy program into pediatric inpatient care was feasible and successful in decreasing patient and caretaker anxiety. Health care professionals support the program’s continuance.
Evaluation and Long-term Management of Neurogenic Bladder in Spinal Dysraphism
Authors: Le Hoang-Kim , Cardona-Grau Diana , Chiang George
Published: December 2019

Spinal dysraphism, which includes conditions such as myelomeningocele and sacral agenesis, is one of the most common causes of congenital lower urinary tract dysfunction. Early evaluation of the neurogenic bladder serves to minimize renal damage, and the main goals of management include preserving renal function, achieving acceptable continence, and optimizing quality of life. The survival of patients with such conditions has improved to greater than 80% reaching adulthood, owing to advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The result is a real, and unfortunately often unmet, need for successful transitional care in this complex patient population. Clinicians must be able to identify the unique challenges encountered by patients with neurogenic bladder as they shift through different stages of their life.
