Jóvenes en “el lecho de Procusto”. Una aproximación a los ideales de género de posguerra
Authors: Álvarez Fernández Carlos
Published: December 2020

El propósito de este artículo es analizar la eficacia interpeladora del discurso nacionalcatólico sobre la feminidad, durante la posguerra franquista. Para ello, se empleará el estudio de un expediente representativo del Tribunal Tutelar de Menores de Bilbao. Este proceso, unido a otros de forma coral, permitirá desentrañar los significados de la (des)honestidad femenina, cuando ésta fue objeto de penalización judicial. En este sentido, lo que se juzgó tuvo que ver más con una consideración social y moral de las procesadas, que con la consumación de un delito manifiesto. Lo que se ha podido corroborar es que la (des)honestidad femenina fue comprendida como un estado transitorio y no producto de una esencia fija. Las mujeres podían pasar de un estado de impureza a uno de pureza, en la medida en que acomodaran sus prácticas a los ideales normativos. El discurso católico de la redención moral se convirtió en el vehículo central.

Development of synthetic data generation algorithms for training neural network models for detecting objects in an image
Authors: Berzin Vladimir , Sudeykin Mikhail
Published: December 2020

The paper is devoted to the development of synthetic data generation algorithms for training models of object detectors in the image. Modern SOTA architectures based on convolutional neural networks, as well as methods for their training, are considered as target models. The features that a training set based on synthetic data must have for the stable operation of the model on a set of natural data are revealed. The proposed methods and principles for generating such data are described. As an accompanying practical example, the problem of detecting commodity items on the shelves of grocery supermarkets is considered, in the context of which the implemented algorithms were tested.

Published: December 2020

This study was conducted to determine the effects of Diplotaenia turcica root extract on sperm parameters and reproductive hormones in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. The study was performed on a total of 42 male rats divided into 6 groups of equal numbers. Single-dose physiological saline was administrated intraperitoneally to Group 1. STZ 45 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally to Group 2. Diplotaenia turcica root extract 100 mg/kg was administrated through gastric gavage for 28 days to Group 3. Diplotaenia turcica root extract 200 mg/kg was administrated through gastric gavage for 28 days to Group 4. STZ 45 mg/kg administrated intraperitoneally to Group 5. In addition, Diplotaenia turcica root extract 100 mg/kg was administrated through gastric gavage for 28 days. STZ 45 mg/kg administrated intraperitoneally to Group 6. Also, Diplotaenia turcica root extract 200 mg/kg was administrated through gastric gavage for 28 days. Reproductive hormones and sperm parameters were analyzed. In Group 2, it was determined that sperm motility and density and reproductive hormone values were significantly lower when compared to group 1, and the abnormal sperm rate was significantly higher when compared to Group 1. Testosterone levels in Groups 3 and 4 were significantly higher than Groups 2, 5, and 6. It was determined that the 100 mg/kg dose of Diplotaenia turcica root extract, which is given also to the diabetic group, creates an improvement in sperm parameters and the hormone testosterone, but the 200 mg/kg dose does not have the same effect. As a result, we can recommend the 100 mg/kg dose of Diplotaenia turcica root extract in patients with diabetes.

Development of the Christian Education Curriculum Model in the Era of the Asean Economic Community (AEC)
Authors: Simanjuntak Haposan
Published: December 2020

The Asean Economic Community is currently taking place in Asean countries in various forms of cooperation which can be seen in various fields such as Economy, Education, Services, Labor and Trade. This is an opportunity as well as a challenge for every nation involved in it and especially for the Indonesian people. Opportunities and challenges must be addressed and faced immediately. If not, the consequences can be detrimental and not beneficial. Improving the quality of good education must be owned by the nation's children in facing the AEC as the key to success. Various polemics may occur as a result of the Asean Economic Community. In response to this, the Christian Religious Education (CHRISTIAN EDUCATION) curriculum really needs to be developed properly in order to be able to form a young generation of Christians who are able to compete competitively by having the ability to adapt without destroying their Christian faith. This research was carried out with descriptive qualitative methods to display comprehensive information so that give accurate information in accordance with the topic raised.
Exploring the Types of Stories Hearing Parents Tell About Rearing their Children who use Cochlear Implants
Authors: Barker Brittan Ann , Scharp Kristina , Chandler Kelsey L. , Brown Emma
Published: December 2020

Objectives. The majority of children born in the United States with hearing loss are born to parents with hearing. Many of these parents ultimately choose cochlear implantation for their children. There are now decades of research showing that these children’s speech, language, listening, and education, seem to benefit from cochlear implantation. To date, however, we know little about the experiences of the parents who guided these children throughout their journeys. We propose that elucidating the types of stories these parents tell is a first step toward understanding their varied experiences and has the potential to ultimately improve healthcare outcomes for both children and their families. Thus, to better understand parents’ experience, we asked the following research question: what types of stories do parents with hearing tell about rearing their children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants? Design. In this prospective qualitative study, we employed a narrative approach. Specifically, we conducted narrative interviews with 20 hearing parents who are rearing young children (mean age = 5.4 years) born with hearing loss who use cochlear implants. We then used thematic narrative analysis to identify recurring themes throughout the narratives that coalesced into the types of stories parents told about their experiences. Results. Thematic narrative analysis revealed five story types: (1) stories of personal growth, (2) proactive stories, (3) stories of strain and inundation, (4) detached stories, and (5) stories of persistence. Conclusions. In the present study, different types of stories emerged from parents’ experiences that share common events—a family’s baby is identified at birth with unexpected permanent hearing loss, the family chooses to pursue cochlear implantation for their child, and then the family raises said pediatric cochlear implant user into adulthood. Despite these similarities, the stories also varied in their sensemaking. Some parents told stories in which a positive life narrative turned bad whereas others told stories in which a narrative of surviving turned into one of thriving. These findings specifically contribute to the field of hearing healthcare by providing professionals with insight into parents’ sensemaking via the types of stories they shared centered on their perceptions and experiences following their child’s diagnosis of hearing loss and their decision to pursue cochlear implantation.

Most of the commonly used and endorsed guidelines for systematic review protocols and reporting standards have been developed for intervention research. These excellent guidelines have been adopted as the gold-standard for systematic reviews as an evidence synthesis method. In the current paper, we highlight some issues that may arise from adopting these guidelines beyond intervention designs, including in basic behavioural, cognitive, experimental, and exploratory research. We have adapted and built upon the existing guidelines to establish a complementary, comprehensive, and accessible tool for designing, conducting, and reporting Non-Intervention, Reproducible, and Open Systematic Reviews (NIRO-SR). NIRO-SR is a checklist composed of two parts that provide itemised guidance on the preparation of a systematic review protocol for pre-registration (Part A) and reporting the review (Part B) in a reproducible and transparent manner. This paper, the tool, and an open repository (https://osf.io/f3brw/) provide a comprehensive resource for those who aim to conduct a high quality, reproducible, and transparent systematic review of non-intervention studies.
Bayesianisches Denken mit Dinosauriern
Authors: Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: December 2020

[This is a German translation of "Bayesian Thinking for Toddlers"] Bayesianisches Denken ist einfach und Kinder tun es die ganze Zeit. Das Grundprinzip dieser Denkweise ist das Lernen durch Erfahrung: Hypothesen, die die Daten gut vorhersagen können, werden wahrscheinlicher, während Hypothesen, die die Daten schlecht vorhersagen können, weniger wahrscheinlich werden. Hypothese A ist beispielsweise “Um 6 Uhr morgens schlafen meine Eltern meistens noch” und Hypothese B ist “Um 6 morgens sind meine Eltern meistens schon wach”. Wenn ein Kind dann um 6 Uhr morgens aufwacht und bemerkt, dass seine Eltern noch tief und fest schlafen, erhöht diese Beobachtung die Plausibilität von Hypothese A und verringert die von Hypothese B. Ganz einfach! Sachkundigen Leserinnen und Lesern wird aufgefallen sein, dass die Titelgeschichte der Dinosaurier Hinweise liefert zu Konzepten wie Ockhams Rasiermesser, der regelgeleiteten Aktualisierung von Wissen und dem Begriff der Wahrscheinlichkeit als Grad der Gewissheit im Lichte einer bestimmten Beweislage. Statistikerinnen und Statistiker werden in der Geschichte vielleicht das “prequentielle Prinzip” von Phil Dawid wiederfinden. Kinder sind womöglich nur an den Dinosauriern interessiert.
The Role of Threat in the Human Empowerment Sequence
Authors: Dunn Kris , Spaiser Viktoria , Dodds Harvey
Published: December 2020

Recent work by Dunn et al. (2017) proposes an integration of two normally disparate fields of research: political culture and individual-level authoritarianism. This proposal notes a remarkable similarly between Welzel’s (2013) concept of emancipative values and the values-oriented conceptualization of authoritarianism proposed by Feldman and Stenner (1997). Dunn at al. provide some rudimentary empirical evidence that authoritarianism can be productively integrated into Welzel’s “human empowerment sequence” but due to data limitations are unable to examine what they see as one of the most important benefits of this integration: the interaction between authoritarianism and threat in predicting emancipative attitudes. The sixth wave of the World Values Survey provides the previously unavailable data (a measure of perceived threat) and allows us to examine whether authoritarianism interacts with threat to affect the expression of social and political attitudes. Analysis of this data supports those expectations derived from the authoritarianism literature and provides further support for Dunn et al.’s proposal.
Infant effortful control mediates relations between nondirective parenting and anxiety-related child behaviours in an autism-enriched infant cohort
Authors: Smith Celia , Jones Emily J.H. , Wass Sam , Pasco Greg , Johnson Mark Henry , Charman Tony , Wan Ming Wai
Published: December 2020

Internalising problems are common in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); early intervention to support those with emerging signs may be warranted. One promising signal lies in how individual differences in temperament are shaped by parenting. In a longitudinal study of infants with and without an older sibling with ASD, we investigated how early parenting associates with infant behavioural inhibition (8-14 months) and later effortful control (24 months) in relation to 3-year internalising symptoms. Mediation analyses suggest nondirective parenting (8 months) was related to fewer internalising problems through an increase in effortful control. Parenting did not moderate the stable predictive relation of behavioural inhibition on later internalising. We discuss the potential for parenting to strengthen protective factors against internalising in infants from an ASD-enriched cohort.
A qualitative exploration of the early signs of cerebral visual impairment in preschool children
Authors: Schraauwers Robin , van Genderen Maria , Bals Irmgard , Dekker-Pap Marjoke , Pilon-Kamsteeg Florine , Vancleef Kathleen
Published: December 2020

Aim: To explore which signs in visual functioning and visual behaviour in preschool children at risk for cerebral visual impairment (CVI) can potentially be early signs for a diagnosis at a later age.Methods: Thematic analysis of interviews with seven experts in the field of CVI and of a focus group with nine parents of five children with confirmed or suspected CVI.Results: Our experts and parents identified five likely early signs of CVI in preschool children with developmental impairments and brain injury who are at risk for CVI. They suggest that preschool children with CVI display atypical ways of coping with complex situations and of navigating their surroundings. Children also show impaired multisensory integration according to our interviewees. Furthermore, their visual responses often vary even when the stimulus remains the same or they might display impairments in visual recognition and identification.Interpretation: We have proposed five signs in visual functioning and visual behaviour in preschool children at risk for CVI that may be early signs for a diagnosis of CVI at a later age. This exploration can guide future retrospective and longitudinal research on diagnosing CVI at a young age. Early diagnosis and subsequent early intervention have a positive impact on learning and development of infants with disabilities.
Does gamification improve physical activity? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Mazéas Alexandre , Duclos Martine , Pereira Bruno , Chalabaev Aïna
Published: December 2020

Background: The use of gamification to change behaviors and promote physical activity is a promising avenue to tackle the global physical inactivity pandemic and the current prevalence of chronic diseases. However, we do not have yet evidence of the effectiveness of gamified interventions with the existence of mixed results in the literature.Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gamified interventions and their healthcare potential by testing the scalability and sustainability of their influence on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB).Methods:Five electronic databases (Pubmed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and CENTRAL) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published since 2010. Eligibility criteria were based on components of PICO (participants, interventions, comparators, and outcomes). Studies were included when they used gamified interventions in daily life with an active or inactive control group, and when they assessed a PA or SB outcome. Studies were excluded when the intervention was based on an active video game using a gaming console. We conducted meta-analyses using a random effects model approach. Sensitivity analyses, influence analyses and publication bias analyses were performed to examine the robustness of our results.Results: The main meta-analysis performed on 16 studies and 2407 participants, revealed a small to medium summary effect of gamified interventions on PA behavior (g = 0.42 (95%CI [0.14, 0.69]). No statistical difference was found between different subgroups (adults vs adolescents, healthy participants vs adults with chronic diseases) and no interaction effects with moderators like age, gender or BMI, suggesting good scalability of gamified interventions. Moreover, the effect appears better on the step count (MD = +1609.56 steps per day (95%CI [372.39, 2846.73]) than on moderate-to-vigorous PA (g = 0.31 (95%CI [-0.19, 0.80]). The long-term effect (measured with follow-up averaging 14 weeks after the end of the intervention) is more volatile with a very small to small effect (g = 0.15, [0.07, 0.23]).Conclusions: This meta-analysis confirms that gamified interventions are promising to promote PA in various publics. However, if the effect persists after the end of the program, suggesting that it is not just a novelty effect due to the playful nature of gamification, it seems volatile with a small long-term effect. The integration of gamification in more global healthcare interventions could be a way to address this low sustainability. Future rigorous trials are needed to explore these perspectives.
Dispositional mindfulness among BDSM practitioners: A preliminary investigation
Authors: Dunkley Cara R. , Barringer Anne , Dang Silvain , Brotto Lori A.
Published: December 2020

Despite increased popular interest in, and research attention to, the topic of BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism) in recent years, empirical literature focusing on the psychological traits of people who practice BDSM is scarce. Mindfulness, which can be defined as non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of the present moment, has been linked to a host of positive physical, psychological, and sexual outcomes (e.g., relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, sexual arousal), and there is some limited evidence that those who practice BDSM may be exercising mindfulness. The current study examined dispositional mindfulness in a sample of BDSM practitioners ( n = 160) compared to a sample of undergraduate students ( n = 190). BDSM participants were found to report higher levels of mindfulness than undergraduates after controlling for age. These findings provide preliminary support for a link between BDSM and dispositional mindfulness. The pleasant altered states of consciousness sometimes achieved through BDSM activity may foster a state of mindfulness, which in turn may foster dispositional mindfulness.
Yeats’s Doll and Donkey: Alienating theUpanishadsinThe Herne’s Egg
Authors: Im Yeeyon
Published: December 2020

The Herne’s Egg, like Yeats’s other late plays, is a great challenge for readers. In addition to putting forward an esoteric philosophy that evades coherent interpretation, the play is deliberately anti-heroic, grotesque, and sexually offensive. Yeats’s remark that the play is Purohit Swami’s “philosophy in a fable” has guided critics toward the Upanishads for clues. This essay questions longstanding assumptions about the Indian influence on the play, examining Yeats’s appropriation of the Upanishadic concept of the Self for his own vision of Unity of Being. Interpretations of the play that foreground the influence of the Sanskrit texts on Yeats’s dramaturgy often overlook the play’s form and genre. This essay aims to shed new light on the play by drawing attention to its style, which fuses several modernist aesthetics in a form of experimental farce. I argue that gaiety is Yeats’s way of dealing with the futility resulting from his determinist view of the universe. Yeats’s farcical style creates quasi-Brechtian alienation effects in The Herne’s Egg, sublimating existential dread to tragic joy.
“American Homespun Fascists”: Seán O’Casey and the Returning Veteran at the American Negro Theatre
Authors: Moynihan Sinéad
Published: December 2020

This article explores four works produced by the American Negro Theatre (ANT) for stage and radio between September 1945 and July 1946 – Arthur Laurents’s The Face (1945), Samuel J. Kootz’s Home Is the Hunter (1945–46), Erik Barnouw’s The Story They’ll Never Print (1946), and Seán O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock (1946) – arguing that they collectively constitute a coherent, if uneven, set of responses to what ANT co-founder and director Abram Hill had called in September 1945 “one of the most pressing questions facing the world today: What is the reaction of the returning Negro GI to his land of democracy?” This essay identifies the interrelatedness of these four works and draws on archival sources to pay close attention to the production of Juno (which has never previously been discussed at length or in connection with the ANT’s other returning veteran dramas). Analysing the ANT’s Juno as an oblique “returning Negro soldier drama” that critically retools what Judith Smith terms “trading places” stories of the immediate post-war years, this essay further contends that the company trod a fine line between an explicit and an implicit critique of the United States, protesting against “American homespun fascists” and asserting the ordinariness of African American soldiers. While this strategy sometimes risked opacity, it invited astute audiences to make connections that were inferred rather than asserted and thus circumvented accusations of anti-Americanism.

Authors: Tabachuk Natalia Petrovna
Published: December 2020

The study focuses on the fact that during the period of digital transformation, modern models of digital competencies have emerged, which serve as the basis for the formation of new standards in the field of education, for the expansion of the teaching professions of the future, for the transition to new learning technologies (mapping, scribing) and the development of professional competencies of students, one of which is information competence. The following issues («prospects of digital transformation in education», «types of models of digital competencies», «information competence as an existential skill and long-term metaability», «mapping as a process of translation of meaning-making», «specific characteristics of cards», «technology of scribing in education») which rise in modern research and affect the improvement of the educational process in the digital educational environment of the university are subject to discussion. Attention is drawn to the description of the pedagogical experience of using mapping and scribing for the development of information competence of university students. The examples of maps created by students and undergraduates of the direction of training «Pedagogical education» and contributing to the formation of their deep and error-free digital educational footprint are given. The influence of mapping and scribing on increasing motivation to learn and the emergence of new student startups in the field of education is investigated. The leading research methods are: analysis of digital competence models for the relevance of the process of developing information competence of university students; analysis and selection of modern technologies in the period of digital transformation in education; generalization of conceptual provisions on information competence and its role for human development; generalization of the pedagogical experience of using mapping and scribing for the development of information competence of university students. Promising areas of research are: the formation of a collection of maps for use in professional activities, for their cognitive analysis; development of the direction of video scribing for distance and additional education of students; identification of the advantages and disadvantages of mapping and scribing and their effectiveness in the development of students' information competence. The research materials are of practical value for students, undergraduates, university teachers and teachers of other educational institutions who are looking for new technologies in organizing the learning process.

This paper considers the «problem of choice» of holding meetings of student scientific circles of the departments of operative surgery with topographic anatomy (OKHITA) and medical informatics and statistics (MIIS) N.N. Burdenko VSMU. This topic is currently very relevant, since the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection continues in Russia and around the world. At the beginning of the article, the information on the use of specialized electronic programs and electronic educational environments in the complex educational process is provided; the issues of their use at various stages of distance learning during an unfavorable epidemiological situation are analysed. However, according to the authors, very little attention is paid to additional aspects of the complex educational process, which are various student comeptitions, student scientific circles and student scientific societies. The aim of the work was an attempt to determine the form of meetings of the Council of People's Commissars of departments of various orientations (theoretical and practical), to determine the attitude of the respondents themselves – representatives of the teaching staff and students to the form of holding meetings of the Council of People's Commissars, depending on the epidemiological situation, and also to choose the most suitable electronic educational environment or computer program. The objects of the study were 50 employees of various departments of N.N. Burdenko VSMU (from among the teaching staff, who made up 1 group of subjects) and 100 students of the medical faculty – 2 and 4 years (who made up the 2 and 3 groups of subjects). The study was based on anonymous questionnaires. It was found that regardless of the direction of the department (practical – OKHITA or theoretical – MIiS), many respondents advocated the traditional (face-to-face) meetings of the Council of People's Commissars, subject to the normalization of the epidemiological situation. However, as it worsened, the majority favored remote, online, meetings of the Council of People's Commissars. An «interesting» result was obtained when processing the results of choosing an electronic platform for holding meetings of the Council of People's Commissars. So, despite the presence in N.N. Burdenko VSMU, specialized electronic educational environments, the «winner» and a kind of choice of respondents was the computer program «Zoom». The obvious choice of university staff from among the teaching staff and students makes it possible to recommend this program as a kind of «platform» for holding meetings of student scientific communities and circles.
Mastoiditis and Tegmen Tympani Defect Leading to Intracranial Abscess with Actinomyces odontolyticus
Authors: Akbik Omar S. , Akbik Omar S. , Cabanilla M. Gabriela , Pickett Bradley P. , Ricks Christian B.
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) actinomycosis typically presents from the local spread of
infection via the ear, sinus, or cervicofacial region, resulting most commonly in abscesses. Only one other
case report reports on cerebral abscess with Actinomyces odontolyticus.
Presentation of Case: A 60-year-old male presented with cognitive impairment and speech difficulties.
Imaging revealed a cerebral abscess in the left temporal lobe causing significant mass effect and uncal
herniation. Bony erosion was noted along the middle cranial fossa with fluid attenuation of the middle ear
and mastoid. An emergent surgery was performed with neurosurgery and otolaryngology. Initially, a left
craniotomy was performed in order to obtain access to the left temporal lobe. A vascularized flap was
harvested from the fascia of the temporalis in order to repair any defects along the middle cranial fossa. The
abscess was drained using ultrasound guidance. A mastoidectomy was then performed for source control.
Cultures revealed Actinomyces odontolyticus for which intravenous antibiotics were administered. The
patient developed postoperative seizures requiring monitoring and anti-epileptic medication. Follow-up
revealed continued improvement in the patient’s cognition.
Discussion: Cerebral abscess in the temporal lobe along the floor of the middle cranial fossa can be due to
direct extension of infection from the middle ear or mastoid which requires a multidisciplinary approach to
surgical treatment. Actinomycosis is a rare pathogen for CNS infection with only one other case report of
CNS Actinomyces odontolyticus. Postoperative care in regards to antibiotic treatment and follow-up are also
reviewed.
Conclusion: The case highlights the urgency of treatment and surgical decision making made
intraoperatively by both neurosurgery and otolaryngology in regards to drainage, repair of the defect, and
treatment of infectious source.

Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir sobre como os professores do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) podem desenvolver habilidades facilitadoras do ensino de Astronomia para alunos com deficiência visual (DV). Apontando a construção e função do uso de materiais tridimensionais táteis adaptados para alunos DV, que estimulam e desenvolvem as aptidões espaciais, comparativas e motora háptica para a abstração dos conteúdos que serão desenvolvidos em sala de aula regular pelo professor da disciplina de Ciências. Visando que durante as articulações do professor AEE com o professor da aula regular deste componente curricular, melhor se estabeleça um vínculo de assessoramento quanto a funcionalidade e aplicabilidade destes recursos pedagógicos, podendo até mesmo disponibilizar estes meios de acessibilidade na escola para o aluno DV. Desta forma, este percurso se dá a partir da explanação das políticas que regulamentam o AEE, dos estudos dos trabalhos de Astronomia para DV aqui analisados e da realização de uma Oficina Pedagógica com os professores do AEE que atuam nas Salas de Recursos Multifuncionais (SRM) das escolas municipais. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade da formação continuada dos professores AEE e da formação dos professores de Ciências voltado ao ensino de Astronomia, da importância de reuniões ou encontros que possibilitem trocas entre estes profissionais, da necessidade da produção de materiais táteis adaptados para deficientes visuais com conceitos astronômicos possibilitando a melhor compreensão dos fenômenos naturais que nos rodeiam.
CORPO DE BOMBEIROS MILITAR DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL DE ERECHIM NO PROGRAMA DE EDUCAÇÃO OLÍMPICA DA URI ERECHIM

Os componentes do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Rio Grande do Sul (CBMRS) desempenham atividades profissionais complexas, as quais exigem condicionamento físico elevado, força e técnicas específicas. O Projeto de Extensão que envolve o CBMRS de Erechim apresenta como objetivo principal, a promoção de aspectos referentes à qualidade de vida dos componentes da corporação por meio dos subprogramas do Programa de Educação Olímpica da URI Erechim (Atividades Físicas, Atividades de Recreação, Lazer e Educação Olímpica [EO]). Todos os soldados da corporação foram convidados a participar do programa de forma voluntária e conforme a disponibilidade. No ano de 2019, as práticas aconteceram semanalmente na sala de musculação da sede da corporação envolvendo, aproximadamente, 12 soldados. Na Vila Olímpica da URI Erechim, as atividades aconteceram ao ar livre quinzenalmente, conforme as condições climáticas. Em ambos os locais, o Treinamento Funcional foi enfatizado. Os resultados desta etapa foram satisfatórios para todos os envolvidos no projeto. No ano de 2020 foi necessário interromper os treinamentos devido ao período de isolamento social como parte das ações de combate ao novo coronavírus (COVID-19). Mesmo assim, durante o período de abril e julho, os soldados continuaram com as atividades propostas por meio do envio de planilhas de treinamento e vídeos explicativos/demonstrativos. Os objetivos foram alcançados com sucesso. A prática regular de exercícios físicos é essencial para otimizar a qualidade de vida dos seres humanos. Esse projeto desenvolve e incentiva essa prática, resultando em benefícios na execução dos trabalhos do dia a dia dos soldados da corporação.

Síndrome de Bouveret. Mujer de 59 años, consultó a urgencias por dolor abdominal generalizado, acompañado de nausea y vómitos de 72 horas de evolución. Al examen físico presentó un abdomen blando, distendido, sin signos de peritonismo. La tomografía computarizada evidenció una obstrucción gástrica secundaria al impacto de un cálculo en el bulbo duodenal. Se realizó gastrotomía con extracción de litiasis a nivel duodenal y a nivel vesicular, se realizó rafia con puntos separados y se colocó drenaje. El síndrome de Bouveret, ocasionado por un cálculo se aloja en el bulbo y causa obstrucción gástrica secundario a una fistula colecistoduodenal o coledocoduodenal. Se presenta entre el 1 y 3% de todos los casos de íleo biliar, con mayor frecuencia en mujeres de 70 a 75 años.

Clínicamente se presenta con dolor epigástrico, náuseas y vómitos.

El tratamiento quirúrgico es una opción y la conducta terapéutica debe individualizarse en cada paciente.
Práctica quirúrgica en Uruguay durante la Pandemia COVID-19
Authors: Perdomo Pérez Mauro Andrés , Ruso Martínez Luis , Olivera Pertusso Eduardo , Rodríguez Temesio Gustavo , González González Daniel
Published: December 2020

A causa de la pandemia por infección SARS-CoV-2  en Uruguay, se  establecieron  pautas y recomendaciones  que modificaron radicalmente las prestaciones quirúrgicas habituales. Estas medidas se basaron en recomendaciones fundadas en la experiencia internacional previa, tendientes a realizar solamente cirugías de urgencia/emergencia, pacientes oncológicos e impostergables.

Objetivo. Analizar el impacto de  la pandemia COVID-19 en la práctica de los especialistas quirúrgicos en nuestro país. 

Material y métodos. Se realizó una encuesta que fue difundida a través de las sociedades científicas quirúrgicas de Uruguay, que se mantuvo abierta por un periodo de 10 días (20 al 30 de abril de 2020), recabándose un total de 262 respuestas, de las cuales 212 fueron completas.

Resultados: El 52% de los encuestados realizo cirugías programadas y el 55% realizo abordajes video-asistidos; el 51% de quienes practicaron cirugías negó haber tomado medidas de protección adicionales durante las mismas.

Veintitrés (9%) de los especialistas operaron  pacientes sospechosos de portar Covid.19 y 3 (1.1 %) casos positivos COVID-19.

El 57% se consideró “parcialmente capacitado” y 21%  “poco capacitado” (21%), mientras que el 19 % se definió como “totalmente capacitado” para la utilización de los elementos de protección.

Conclusiones: Se verifico  alto  acatamiento a las medidas de  suspensión de las cirugías de coordinación (descenso de 82). Las cirugías en pacientes cursando COVID-19 fue excepcional y la frecuencia  de casos  con sospecha de enfermedad fue  baja.

El exceso de información y la existencia de múltiples protocolos han determinado una considerable heterogeneidad en la implementación de las medidas de protección y baja participación  en  actividades de capacitación.
