Published: September 2023

The paper presents the results of studying the electrochemical characteristics and long-term stability of MA-41 membranes on the surface of which poly-N,N-diallylmorpholinium bromide was applied. The deposition of a polyelectrolyte on the membrane surface leads to an increase in the limiting current from 0.8 to 1.1 mA/cm2. The comparison of the experimental and theoretically calculated values of the limiting current density allows us to conclude that the modification of the membrane surface by poly-N,N-diallylmorpholinium bromide does not lead to the formation of a continuous polyelectrolyte film on the surface, but its fixation occurs due to the sorption of macromolecules on the surface of the ion-exchanger particles. To quantify the rate of the water dissociation reaction at the membrane/solution interface, the method of electrochemical impedance was used, which makes it possible to compare the rate constants of the water dissociation reaction for different membranes, assuming that the reaction is described by the Gericher impedance. It is shown that modification of the MA-41 membrane surface leads to a decrease in the rate of the water dissociation reaction in the current range i = 1.5–4ilim by a factor of 2–6. The reduction in water dissociation reaction rate is attributed to the substitution of catalytically active secondary and tertiary amino groups in the surface layer of the pristine membrane by stable heterocyclic ammonium bases of poly-N,N-diallylmorpholinium. The study of the long-term stability of the resulting membrane showed that when the membrane is polarized with a current equal to  twice the limiting current, the desorption of the modifier occurs within 25 h, and the properties of the membrane become close to those of the unmodified MA-41 membrane. It was shown that the electrochemical impedance method can be used as a very sensitive method for studying the long-term stability of ion-exchange membranes.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de akıllı telefon kullanıcıların marka değiştirme niyetini etkileyen faktörleri araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla, İtme-Çekme-Bağlama modeline dayalı bir araştırma modeli geliştirilmiştir. Tüketicilerin marka değiştirmesini hangi faktörlerin etkilediğini anlamak, akıllı telefon markaları için önemli bir konudur. Kullanıcıların değiştirme niyetini anlamak için itme faktörü olarak tatminsizlik, çekme faktörü olarak alternatif çekicilik ve öznel norm, bağlama faktörü olarak değiştirme maliyetleri, alışkanlık ve düşük bireysel yenilikçilik faktörleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini Ankara’da yaşayan ve akıllı telefon kullanan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak yüz yüze anket metodu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma için katılımcılardan 363 geçerli yanıt elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada 7’li Likert tipi kapsamında 7 adet ölçek kullanılmıştır. Çalışma modelini oluşturan ölçeklerin geçerliliğin sağlanmasında doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve içsel tutarlılığını tespit etmek için güvenirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmada oluşturulan altı hipotez yapısal eşitlik modeli ile test edilmiştir. İtme, çekme ve bağlama faktörlerin kullanıcıların marka değiştirme niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini kapsayan analiz AMOS 24 ve SPSS 26 paket programları kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışma boyunca istatistiksel anlamlılık p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda tatminsizlik, alternatiflerin çekiciliği ve öznel norm marka değiştirme niyetini pozitif olarak etkilemektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre değiştirme maliyetlerinin ve düşük bireysel yeniliğin marka değiştirme niyeti üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif bir etkisi bulunmuştur. Ayrıca alışkanlığın değiştirme niyeti üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın İtme-Çekme-Bağlama modelini kullanarak bireylerin akıllı telefon marka değiştirme niyetlerini inceleyen bir çalışma olması nedeniyle alan yazına katkısı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Araştırma bulgularının önceki yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarla benzer olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçların literatüre çeşitli teorik katkılar sağlaması beklenmekte ve yönetsel uygulamalara katkısı olabilecek bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
The social practices of immigration: the everyday life of Brazilian immigrants in Denmark
Authors: Yamamoto Gabriel do Carmo , Ichikawa Elisa Yoshie
Published: September 2023

Abstract This research aimed to understand how the social practices of Brazilian immigrants in Denmark are organized in the composition of their everyday lives in response to the immigration laws of that country. We employ a practice-based approach using Michel de Certeau’s concept of practice, which considers that people can reinvent their everyday life through tactics and strategies embedded in their ways of doing things. In this context, we associate the matter of power apparatus, a concept worked by Michel Foucault, with the concept of propriety, worked by Pierre Mayol. The empirical research used ethnographic research for a period of approximately twelve months in Denmark through participant observation of the daily activities of Brazilian immigrants already established in the country and semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. As the main contributions of this research, we first highlight the theoretical contribution that the social practice of immigration occurs at different moments in the daily life of an immigrant, from their arrival in the host country to aging in the local society. Regarding the practical contributions of this study, it is important to consider that immigration practices are a phenomenon composed of tactics, strategies, and resistances organized based on the relationship between practitioners and apparatus, which can also be conveniently operated by propriety. Empirically, the study advances in the recognition and understanding of the organization of the community of Brazilian immigrants in Denmark.
Favela won! - Resistance conveyed in bregafunk music videos
Authors: SOUZA-LEÃO ANDRÉ LUIZ MARANHÃO DE , LOPES MARIANA ALMEIDA DE SOUZA
Published: September 2023

Abstract Music production accounts for spreading ideologies since music genres are intrinsically linked to political discourses. bregafunk is a music genre that fulfills this role in the music scene of Recife, Brazil. The genre’s video production portrays the city’s favelas as places of sociability and affection, as well as of ambition for better social and economic conditions. Based on the Foucauldian theory, favelas are an emblematic example of resistance. Thus, this study is guided by the following research question: how does the production of bregafunk music videos evidence favelas’ resistance? Foucauldian discourse analysis was applied to 777 bregafunk music videos posted on Youtube between September 2012 and September 2020. Results have evidenced a discursive formation showing higher favela representativeness in society. This discursive formation is characterized by the appreciation of favelas and their citizens’ efforts to empower minorities. These findings have evidenced favelas’ resistance by representing political identities inserted in this social space. This process reveals a specific and alternative ethos challenging the status quo by supporting political discourses with acts against those considered socially normal.
Enterprise social media: a study from digital natives’ perspective
Authors: CARREIRA THAIS LUSTOSA , FALCE JEFFERSON LOPES LA , HELAL DIOGO HENRIQUE
Published: September 2023

Abstract This study aims to ascertain digital natives’ perceptions regarding internal social media (ISM) use in corporate contexts. Consulting company surveys, although limited as scientific evidence, revealed that digital natives would, if they had choice, quit their jobs in the next two years, showing that engaging them is already a challenge. However, there is a gap in the literature as digital natives’ workplace behaviors remain unexamined, singling out this study as a unique assessment of digital natives with exposure to the workplace and its practices. An exploratory study was performed by applying content analysis of semi-structured interviews with recently employed digital natives. The findings suggest that the lifespan aspect may impact how social technologies are used for communication in organizational contexts; and that digital natives believe in a participatory culture created on social systems that impose a high level of contribution within the company. They recognize the adverse effects of ISM but consider that its advantages predominate, indicating an optimistic view. Whereas internal communication (IC) has been explored in multiple contexts, few studies address ISM influence on organizations. As such, this study contributes to the IC literature with a more granular understanding of enterprise social media’s role from the perspective of the most current workforce. It also contributes to the pragmatic field by proposing that organizations can take advantage of ambiguos but tending to positive perception of ISM and leverage its use by digital natives to promote employee engagement.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como os terreiros de candomblé se organizam como resistência perante o racismo religioso. Para tanto, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa etnográfica em um centro de candomblé da nação Ketu Axé Oxumaré, localizado em Belo Horizonte (MG). Os dados das entrevistas foram submetidos à análise de narrativas. Os resultados sugerem que o candomblé é percebido pelos integrantes da casa de santo como uma estratégia, uma organização de sobrevivência não só física, mas também de estilos de vida subalternos. Trata-se da resistência da cultura afro-brasileira, uma resistência anticolonial que promove, por meio da religião, a pertença política de afirmação da negritude; de uma organização decolonial de sobrevivência, de manutenção e, sobretudo, de perpetuação de tradições e modos de vida nos terreiros negligenciados, aviltados, negados e subalternizados pela colonialidade.

Abstract This article aims to understand how candomblé terreiros organize themselves as resistance to religious racism. Therefore, we developed an ethnographic research in a Candomblé Center of the Ketu Axé Oxumaré nation, located in Belo Horizonte (MG). Data from the interviews were submitted to narrative analysis. The results suggest that candomblé is perceived by the members of the casa de santo as a strategy, an organization for not only physical survival but also for subaltern lifestyles. It is about the resistance of Afro-Brazilian culture, an anti-colonial resistance that promotes, through religion, the political belonging of affirmation of blackness. It is a decolonial organization of survival, maintenance, and, above all, the perpetuation of traditions and ways of life in neglected, debased, denied, and subalternized terreiros by coloniality.
Olhares sobre a culpa no capitalismo moderno: um diálogo entre Deleuze-Guattari e Walter Benjamin
Authors: ENOQUE ALESSANDRO GOMES
Published: September 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo consistiu em refletir acerca das conexões que podem ser estabelecidas entre a caracterização que Deleuze e Guattari fazem da “máquina capitalista civilizada” em seu O anti-Édipo e as análises que Walter Benjamin fez da “estrutura religiosa capitalista” no seu fragmento intitulado O capitalismo como religião, especialmente no que diz respeito à ideia de culpa. Como pôde ser observado, o que parece ser distinto no pensamento Benjaminiano em comparação com a abordagem Deleuze-Guattariana é o fato de que o filósofo alemão apresenta, inicialmente, o capitalismo como tendo uma natureza instrinsecamente religiosa, ou seja, o capitalismo seria uma religião em si. Esse aspecto parece não encontrar aproximações com a concepção Deleuze-Guattariana da “máquina capitalista civilizada”, embora essa última admita o caráter “divino do capital”. A religião, para Deleuze e Guattari, teria uma clara função de auxílio na repressão e na modelagem do desejo humano.
Função discriminatória de lógica Fuzzy para avaliação de cabras expostas a ocorrência de verminose quanto à resistência, resiliência ou sensibilidade ao parasitismo

Published: September 2023

Resumo A incidência de verminose é um dos principais obstáculos para a caprinocultura nos trópicos. A variação individual da resposta do animal à enfermidade existe, mas precisa ser determinado o seu componente genético e estabelecer o manejo zootécnico dos rebanhos, priorizando a seleção de animais mais resistente ao parasitismo. Objetivou-se nesse estudo avaliar a resposta de cabras à incidência de verminose sob condições de infecção natural a campo, com informações de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG), escore da condição corporal (ECC) e grau de coloração da mucosa conjuntiva (FAMACHA©), recorrendo a utilização de análise de agrupamento e a aplicação de inteligência artificial (IA). Foram utilizadas 3.839 informações de 200 indivíduos em um rebanho experimental de caprinos no Piauí. Considerou-se como resposta ao parasitismo a expressão fenotípica de resistência, sensibilidade e resiliência a verminose, submetidos a três métodos de agrupamento: Ward, Average e K-means, comparado com a lógica Fuzzy, obtidos com o software web CAPRIOVI. Os resultados demonstraram que os grupos de animais resistente, resiliente e sensível ao parasitismo foram estatisticamente distintos (P<0,05). As cabras durante a gestação e o periparto foram identificadas como fases de maior sensibilidade ao parasitismo (P<0,05). O CAPRIOVI aplica a lógica Fuzzy e apresentou o menor percentual de acerto global (77,00%), enquanto os métodos estatísticos tradicionais se destacaram com percentual de acerto global superior a 90,00%, demonstrando excelência estatística com esse fim. Os métodos de agrupamentos apresentaram semelhança na eficiência, mas diferiram quanto à distribuição de animais por agrupamento, com tendência de maior quantidade na categoria resistente. A aplicação da lógica Fuzzy contornou essa limitação ao direcionar a formação dos grupos visando atender o interesse do produtor, inserindo consistência em termos de resposta dos animais a verminose, qualificando o software com potencial para adequação ao manejo sanitário de caprinos.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o efeito do GDF-9 durante o cultivo in vitro de folículos antrais iniciais caprinos isolados. Os folículos antrais iniciais isolados e selecionados foram cultivados individualmente por 18 dias, e os seguintes tratamentos foram testados: α MEM+ (tratamento controle) ou α-MEM+ suplementado com 200 ng/mL de GDF-9 (tratamento GDF-9). Os seguintes parâmetros foram avaliados: crescimento e morfologia folicular, produção de estradiol, maturação nuclear do oócito e expressão relativa de genes-chave relacionados a esteroidogênese (CYP19A1, CYP17 e receptor de insulina) e remodelamento da membrana basal (MMP-9 e TIMP-2). Em ambos os tratamentos, observou-se diminuição na porcentagem de folículos morfologicamente intactos com aumento concomitante nas taxas de folículos extrusos e degenerados (P < 0,05). O tratamento GDF-9 apresentou maiores taxas de folículos extrusos apenas no 6º dia de cultivo (P < 0,05). O diâmetro do folículo aumentou progressivamente ao longo do período de cultivo (P < 0,05) com diâmetros semelhantes entre os tratamentos em todos os tempos de cultivo (P > 0,05). O GDF-9 aumentou a taxa de crescimento diário do primeiro para o segundo terço de cultivo, sendo maior (P < 0,05) que o controle no segundo terço. A taxa de maturação oocitária assim como os níveis de estradiol e a expressão relativa de RNAm para os genes CYP19A1, CYP17, MMP-9, TIMP-2 e receptor de insulina foram similares entre os tratamentos (P > 0,05). Em conclusão, este estudo mostra pela primeira vez que GDF-9 adicionado a um meio de cultivo aumentou a taxa de crescimento de folículos antrais iniciais caprinos cultivados in vitro.

Abstract Plasmocytomas are neoplasms originating from plasma cells and can be subdivided into cutaneous extramedullary, non-cutaneous and multiple myeloma. The involvement of vertebrae can generate clinical signs of pain and neurological alterations according to the affected segment. The present study aims to report a case of extramedullary plasmacytoma in the thoracic spine and with consequent spinal cord compression in addition to metastasis sites, characterizing its clinicopathological aspects. The canine patient was hospitalized, submitted to laboratory and imaging tests, and medicated due to incoordination and loss of perception of limb positioning, but his clinical picture worsened, progressing to loss of movement and fecal and urinary incontinence, resulting in death. The main necropsy findings were the presence of a tumor mass along the external surface of the body of the fifth thoracic vertebra, in addition to light brown foci in the thoracic spinal cord and in the pulmonary and splenic parenchyma. Histologically, the tumor mass and light brown foci consisted of malignant cell proliferation, of plasmacytic origin, densely cellular and largely infiltrative. Thus, through the clinical picture presented, imaging tests and anatomopathological analysis, it was shown that it was a case of extramedullary plasmocytoma originating in the thoracic spine, with sites of metastasis in the spinal cord, lung and spleen.

Abstract The capuchin monkey (Sapajus nigritus) is one of the primates that make up the wild fauna of Rio Grande do Sul. Like other wild animals, primates suffer from infectious diseases transmitted by insects, including filariasis. This report presents the anatomopathological aspects of a multisystemic infection by Dipetalonema spp. in a capuchin monkey, female, adult, of wild origin, rescued along a highway in the north of the state of Rio Grande do Sul by the road policing service and taken for assistance. In the clinical evaluation, nystagmus and involuntary head movements, semi-comatose state, hyperthermia (38.7ºC), hypovolemia, multiple abrasions and deep skin lacerations covering muscle layers were observed. The patient was hospitalized and medicated, but his clinical picture worsened, which resulted in death. At necropsy, the main findings were in the peritoneal cavity, where there was an accumulation of yellowish serous fluid, marked formation of fibrinous adhesions and numerous free nematode parasites in the cavity. Histologically, microfilariae have been observed in the lumen of blood vessels in the lung, liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, small and large intestines, and brain. Peritonitis, pneumonia and bronchiolitis associated with nematodes, liver damage and cerebral microgliosis with satellitosis, neuronophagia and hemorrhagic malacia were also observed. Adult microfilariae and filarids were submitted to morphometric identification and characterized as belonging to the genus Dipetalonema. Thus, it was concluded that this was a case of multisystemic infection by Dipetalonema spp.
Social and health vulnerability of homeless people

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT The objective is to conduct a theoretical reflection on the social and health vulnerability of homeless people, from the perspective of complexity thinking. Study with a theoretical and reflective approach that accessed bibliographical sources of contemporary authors who seek to understand the phenomenon of homeless populations and, at the same time, attribute theoretical support from the reference of complexity, under a critical and analytical bias. Health is conceived as a subsystem of the social system that transcends any linear and punctual diagnostic perspective. Theoretical reflection on the social and health vulnerability of homeless people sparks a unique and multidimensional apprehension of the human being – a complex unit par excellence, which demands equally complex interventions.
Refugees and access to employment in Brazil: implications for health and sociability
Authors: Oliveira Jonas Sâmi Albuquerque de , Silva Marcelo Maurício da , Mendes Mariana , Pires Denise Elvira Pires de
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT This is a reflective study with the objective of analyzing the possibilities of access to employment by refugees in the Brazilian territory, in view of the socio-legal conditions in Brazil, understanding the relationship between work and health. Refugees experience the penalty of restricted access to employment, which has a significant impact on their lives. By remaining disconnected from work, they are pushed to the margins of society. In addition to this, they face difficulties in accessing adequate housing, healthcare services, education, healthy food, among others, all of which deeply affect their way of life in a foreign country with a different culture. The work becomes relevant in the discussion about access to health, goods and services necessary to live with dignity, and its implications in the work-health-disease relationship. Collaborative actions at a global level are necessary to ensure that employment opportunities are available for refugees. In this regard, this reflection articulates two basic ideas: the recognition of the importance of work in social life and living conditions, and the understanding that the determination of the health-disease process goes beyond the biological and individual choices, having historicity and a social and cultural character.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a experiência dos enfermeiros de um centro em Portugal e dois no Brasil sobre o uso das terapias não farmacológicas em pacientes com câncer. Método: Trata-se de um relato de experiência profissional. Resultados: Na instituição portuguesa, há 17 anos um grupo de enfermeiros vem realizando massagem terapêutica, reflexologia, ensinos posturais, termoterapia, relaxamento, imaginação guiada, Reiki, musicoterapia, aromaterapia, entre outras, com resultados significativos na dor, nos sinais vitais e com percepções satisfatórias. Na brasileira, a aplicação clínica é incipiente, ocorrem estudos clínicos com auriculoterapia, relaxamento com imagem guiada e terapia floral, com resultados significativos para sintomas físicos, ansiedade e qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Em ambos os países, os enfermeiros têm empreendido esforços para implementar as terapias não farmacológicas. Enquanto na realidade portuguesa elas têm sido formalmente institucionalizadas no cuidado, na brasileira as terapias ocorrem de forma voluntária e por meio de pesquisas de intervenção. Esse relato pode fomentar a translação da prática autônoma aos estudos clínicos para a proposição de evidências das terapias na Oncologia Integrativa.

The influence of ableism on Decreto n° 10.502/2020 and PNEE 2020*
Authors: Soares Bianca dos Santos , Ribeiro Iara Pereira
Published: September 2023

Abstract The fight for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in Brazilian regular schools intensified when Brazil ratified the Convenção Internacional sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência and issued the Lei Brasileira de Inclusão. However, the struggle for advancements and improvement in the Brazilian inclusive teaching system retreated after the Política Nacional de Educação Especial: Equitativa, Inclusiva e com Aprendizado ao Longo da Vida (PNEE 2020) was established by Decreto n° 10.502/2020. The reason is that it proposed significant changes in the conception of inclusive education when it considered the possibility of special education services, centers, or schools to meet specific disabilities, determining that students and/or their families would be free to choose between an inclusive, regular, or bilingual school. The normative instruments were compared, and a policy segregating students with disabilities in the school environment is hidden between the lines under this alleged right. Such policy is discriminatory and ableist as it reproduces the notion that, according to a hierarchical corponormativity paradigm, these students are inferior, thus, conceiving that they are excluded from regular school due to their disabilities. Even though Decreto n° 11.370/2023 revoked Decreto n° 10.502/2020, the discussion proposed here remains relevant, considering the need to effectively implement inclusive education in Brazil.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a systematic review on reading assessment. The problem that inspired the research was: What parameters, criteria, and assessment conditions can be distinguished in investigations on reading assessment in Brazil? Therefore, the goal was to identify, characterize, and discuss studies that were carried out on reading assessment in Brazil between 2014 and 2020. The focus of the study was on three central aspects of the 151 selected publications, according to the strict inclusion criteria described in the method: 1) the investigated cognitive processes, 2) the measured reading skills, and 3) the testing instruments used. As a criterion for analysis, we observed the research profiles (type, year, location, institution, graduate program, authorship, database) and their contents (focus, objective, target audience, reading evaluation instrument, measured skills, results). The analysis indicated that experimental studies, aimed mainly at students in the first grades of elementary school, were the most frequent, with decoding and its related skills as the most commonly investigated cognitive processes (word recognition, lexical access, and fluency). The results also showed that, in general, authors report the research methods with little detailing, which limits the identification of arguments to guide the decisions concerning elaboration or choice of instruments used. In addition, the lack of rigor or clarity of these aspects also makes it difficult for readers to understand the development of the studies and evaluate their reliability.

Advancement of modern society is required to address the power issue. Previously the energy harvesting techniques were taken into consideration without knowing their probability to work in another setting. To capture energy from radio transmissions, a microstrip antenna is designed in the paper. Gathering of energy from nearby sources for energy harvesting is an alternate strategy for low-energy use. A continuous supply for energy harvesting from radio frequency signal has similar effect as the ones from
known sources like wind and solar. The arriving low-amplitude signals are demanding larger number of antennas alternatively for greatest amount of required energy. Microstrip patch antenna is in use because of its low profile, simplicity of configuration, and low rate of consumption to reduce the energy resources.
The simulations on CST software and fabrication are performed to increase the power generated to charge a greater number of low-power devices using Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting (RFEH) for the ISM frequency band of 2.46 GHz. The microstrip patch antenna provides a result having return loss coefficient of 26.42 dB, Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.1, and a directivity of 6.14 dBi at ISM
frequency band with operating frequency of 2.46 GHz. An EM signal of 1.4v source voltage is achieved, which after rectification gives an output voltage of 3.5 V. Additionally, the setup in conjunction with the suggested antenna design offers the highest level of energy efficiency. The achieved outcomes are effective and can be used to resolve some of the power problems faced by the technical world.

Teaching and coaching are two different occupational roles and the responsibilities of teachers and sports coaches can be distinguished from each other. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the role of teacher-coach in sports and self-efficacy with the mediating role of sports goal orientation. This study used descriptive-correlational research. The appropriateness of the measurement model was tested by confirmatory factor analysis. Research datawere obtained from 36 physical education teachers through a questionnaire. For data analysis, statistical methods of correlation test and bivariate regression using SPSS-22 and AMOS software were used. The conflict between the roles of sports teacher-coach with the presence of the mediating variable of sports goal orientation indicated a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy. Sports goal orientation also had a positive and direct effect on self-efficacy. The results of the present study displayed a comprehensive view. Accordingly, physical education teachers who have an intermediate role (teacher-centered and coach-centered) showed high self-efficacy and sports goal-orientation. The findings of this study offered valuable information to improve the quality of learning and teaching for sport coaches and physical education teachers.

Functional capabilities are important for professional activities of officers, especially young female officers. It is necessary to identify the most effective physical activity programs to improve functional capabilities. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two physical activity programs for young females during their first year of training at a military academy. A total of 129 young females aged 17–18 participated in this study. Twenty-one and 108 charges were included in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Each group differed in terms of the physical activity interventions used during the year of learning. The outcome measures included heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), vital capacity index (VCI), isometric strength (IMIS), Ruffier test index (RTI) and Robinson index (RI). All studied physiological parameters improved in both groups; however, the experimental group achieved a significantly higher improvement than the control one in five of the eight parameters (HR, 4.5%; VCI, 15.4%; IMIS, 12.6%; RTI, 16.9%; RI, 5.0%). In conclusion, the intervention used in the experimental group provided a more significant improvement in functional capabilities. It is advisable to use the developed model in the practice of cadets’ physical activity during training at a military academy to improve their functional capabilities.

The paper presents two clinical observations of successful duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection performed for chronic calcifying pancreatitis complicated by ductal hypertension. At the reconstructive stage, an isolated segment of jejunum, 20 cm from the ligament of Treitz, was used. It was placed behind the colon. The patients had pancreatojejunostomosis formed with the wound surface of the pancreatic head and duct, and duodenojejunostomosis with the lower horizontal part of the duodenum. The first patient had no complications in the postoperative period. After 6 months, the patient showed improvement in the external secretory function of the pancreas, with absence of pain syndrome. The second patient developed gastrointestinal bleeding on day 10 and underwent endoscopic hemostasis. In 1.5, the esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed patent anastomosis, without signs of inflammation. The applied variant of surgery enables pancreatic juice to be secreted as close to anatomical and physiological conditions as possible. Furthermore, the method allows endoscopic hemostasis to be performed in case of bleeding from the anastomosis zone. Further study is required on the long-term results of the proposed option of surgery.

Published: September 2023

When entering the job market, prospective translators face certain difficulties concerning professional know-how that they have to overcome in order to succeed in their career. For this reason, the aim of this article is to provide insights into the main concerns of future translators regarding professional competences. To understand these concerns, a corpus was created using the questions posted by future translators in a forum located on a very well-known translation site: Proz.com. A total of 125 posts were processed and thematically coded using the corpus manager Sketch Engine. The thematic codes were based on two multi-componential models of translator competence: PACTE’s and EMT Board’s models. Once the content was coded, qualitative content analysis was carried out in order to analyse the main concerns of translators-to-be in relation to professional competences. Results show that marketing, industry, and business knowledge are among the main causes of worry of prospective translators. Although the results are not generalisable, the conclusions drawn from this study provide translator trainers with a comprehensive view of what professional competences should be reinforced in the classroom.
