The purpose of the study. To identify structural changes and functional modifications in respiratory muscle performance in patients with congestive heart failure.

Materials and methods. We conducted prospective observational study at the V. A. Almazov National Medical Research Center involving 118 subjects: 49 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF-group) and 69 healthy people (control group). NYHA functional classes of II to IV were taken as inclusion criteria in the CHF group, and respiratory diseases, abdominal pathology, morbid obesity, and anemia — as exclusion criteria. 

Ultrasound imaging was used to assess the structural (thickness) and functional (thickening and excursion indices) diaphragmatic impairments during quiet (resting) and deep breathing. Facemask spirometry was used to assess pulmonary function. 

Results. Patients with CHF were on average older than 59.0 years (53.0; 70.0) vs. 25.0 years (24.0; 26.0) in the control group, P=0.000001, had excessive body weight — 82.0 (73.0; 95.0) vs. 68.5 (55.0; 84.0) kg, P=0.000005 and higher body mass index — 28.4 (24.3; 31.3) vs 21.8 (19.9; 24.0) kg/m2, P=0.000001, but did not differ in height 173.0 (166.0; 179.0) vs. 170.0 (165.0; 183.0) cm, 0.97.

Lower maximum inspiratory volume (MIV): 3000.0 (2300.0; 4000.0) vs. 3684.1 (3392.5; 4310.8) ml, P=0.0006, and negative inspiratory force (NIF) measured as max negative pressure generated by the respiratory muscles: 43.1 (–56.7; –33.0) vs. 53.5 (–58.8; –50.9) mBar, P=0.000082, respectively were found in patients with CHF. The diaphragm was significantly thicker (mm) in patients with CHF during quiet (eupnea) and deep breathing compared to healthy subjects. The thickness at the end of quiet inspiration was 3.0 (2.2; 3.6)/1.9 (1.5; 2.2) in the right hemi-diaphragm, P<0.001; and 3.0 (2.4; 3.5)/1.7 (1.4; 2.0) — in the left, P=0.000001; thickness at the end of quite expiration — 2.2 (1.8; 2.9)/1.5 (1.2; 1.7) in the right dome, P=0.000001; and 2.0 (1.7; 2.5)/1.4 (1.2; 1.5) — in the left, P=0.000001. Thickness at the end of deep inspiration was 5.1 (4.4; 6.1)/4.4 (3.6; 5.1) in the right dome, P=0.0005, and 4.9 (4.2; 6.2)/ 3.7 (3.1; 4.8) — in the left, P=0.000007.The diaphragm thickening index during deep breathing was lower in the CHF group than in the control group: 131.1 (82.5; 181.8) vs. 190.9 (150.0; 240.0) in the right dome, P=0.000004; and 148.8 (112.5; 190.3) vs. 175.2 (130.7; 227.7) — in the left, P=0.03, respectively.

Diaphragmatic excursions during quiet breathing were larger in patients with CHF than in healthy controls: 2.3 (1.6; 2.8)/1.7 (1.5; 1.9), P=0.0001 and 1.8 (1.5; 2.2)/1.5 (1.3; 1.9), P=0.03 of the right and left domes, respectively.

Conclusion. Congestive heart failure contributes to the development of structural and functional impairments of the diaphragm.

Published: October 2023

En el contexto actual de la educación, se plantea la necesidad de una mayor coordinación del profesorado en los centros escolares, con el fin de mejorar su eficacia y responder a las demandas educativas que recaen sobre ellos. Compartir las metas de la enseñanza constituye, de forma especial una de las condiciones que influyen en la profundidad con la que el profesorado colabora prestándose entre sí consejo y apoyo, esta existencia o no de consenso alrededor de los fines educativos es muy importante ya que repercute en los resultados generales tanto a nivel del profesorado como del alumnado en los centros. La aparición cada vez mayor de participación en la toma de decisiones en las escuelas refleja la creencia generalizada de que la gestión horizontal y una estructura descentralizada de la autoridad tienen el potencial para promover la eficacia en la escuela. Sin embargo, la literatura indica una discrepancia entre la conceptualización y definición de colegialidad y la evidencia empírica. El propósito de este artículo teórico es revisar el concepto de colegialidad y proponer una clasificación de las dimensiones para desarrollar un modelo integral multinivel para la comprensión de los efectos de la colegialidad en la escuela.Palabras clave: Colegialidad docente, evaluación, culturas de colaboración. In the current context of education, there is a need for greater coordination of teachers in schools in order to improve efficiency and meet the educational requirements. Share teaching goals is, in a special way one of the conditions that influence deeply on teachers collaboration providing advice and support each other. The presence or absence of consensus about educational goals is very important because it affects the results of students and teachers in educational centers. The increasing of participation in decision-making in schools reflects the widespread belief that horizontal management and a decentralized structure of authority have the potential to promote efficiency in schools. However, the literature indicates a discrepancy between the conceptualization and definition of collegiality and empirical evidence. The purpose of this theoretical article is to review the concept of collegiality and propose a classification of its dimensions to develop a comprehensive multilevel model for understanding the effects of collegiality in the school.Keywords: Teacher collegiality, evaluation, collaborative cultures.

En el que las voces de la población se comienzan a escuchar reclamando aspectos tales como equidad, derechos para todos, eliminación de la pobreza, eliminación de barreras de inclusión personal y social y, por tanto, exclusión de la exclusión. En este marco, es muy positivo lo que comenzó a generarse en el año 2000, en la cumbre de Lisboa. Se planteó, para la Unión Europea (UE), un objetivo: promover la cohesión social (CS). Y que dicho objetivo fuera el elemento guía de las políticas sociales que deberían ayudar a desarrollar una UE, más armónica y homogénea, en derechos y oportunidades y grados de bienestar, atendiendo que toda la población tuviera acceso equitativo a recursos y derechos y que ello se pudiera mantener a lo largo de todo su desarrollo vital.Palabras clave: Cohesión social, evaluación, dimensión docente. We are probably at a time in which warns need and desire to commit to a substantial change in the forms of being in the world.

Published: October 2023

Este estudo exploratório e descritivo procurou determinar empiricamente o grau de concordância, através de um questionário e-Delphi que decorreu em três etapas com 40 participantes de instituições de ensino superior e outras, relativamente aos fatores facilitadores do uso de recursos educativos digitais pelos professores do ensino básico e secundário. Os participantes foram cooptados em universidades públicas e privadas e em outras instituições, em áreas de conhecimento relacionadas com a educação, nomeadamente em investigação, na utilização das tecnologias e da informática em particular. Os resultados obtidos indicam algum grau de concordância na comunidade de participantes na investigação sobre os fatores facilitadores da utilização de recursos educativos digitais pelos professores. Estes resultados preliminares desafiam-nos a desenvolver o mesmo estudo junto dos professores do ensino básico e secundário, de forma a confrontar as perspetivas das duas comunidades que desempenham um papel preponderante na área da educação em Portugal. Pretende-se, desta forma, apresentar um contributo para que a prática da adoção e utilização de recursos educativos digitais nas escolas portuguesas seja sustentada.Palabras clave: e-Delphi, educação, ensinar e aprender, peritos, recursos educativos digitais. This exploratory and descriptive study aimed to evaluate empirically the degree of agreement, through an e-Delphi questionnaire which took place in three stages with 40 participants from institutions of higher education and others, regarding the use of factors which facilitate the use of digital educational resources by elementary and secondary school teachers. Participants were co-opted in public and private universities and other institutions in knowledge areas related to education, namely in research, use of technologies and information technology in particular. The results indicate some degree of agreement on the community of participants in the research about the factors that are facilitators of the use of digital educational resources by teachers. These preliminary results challenge us to develop the same study among elementary and secondary school teachers in order to confront the perspectives of the two communities which play a major role in the area of education in Portugal. It is intended, therefore, to present a contribution so that the practice of adoption and use of digital educational resources in Portuguese schools can be sustained.Keywords: Digital educational resources, e-Delphi, education, experts, teaching and learning.

Se aplicó una metodología de casos tomando como base categorías preestablecidas, a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, observaciones no participantes y análisis de documentos, para triangular la información. Los hallazgos dieron cuenta de concepciones con un rudimentario sustento teórico, con aspectos que se enmarcan bajo la línea de la evaluación para el aprendizaje, lo cual es coherente con la actual reforma educativa. Asimismo, es posible señalar importantes discrepancias entre la teoría de la evaluación y la práctica evaluativa de este grupo de profesores; no obstante, se enfatiza en la esencia formativa de la evaluación en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.Palabras clave: Concepciones docentes, evaluación, aprendizaje, evaluación docente, docentes destacados. The article discusses the results of an investigation whose purpose was to characterize the conceptions of learning assessment of teachers rated as the Teacher Evaluation System belonging to different institutions of basic education in the borough of Curico, assessed in 2007. We applied a methodology based on cases a priori categories, through interviews, participant observations and document analysis to triangulate information. The findings indicate a rudimentary theoretical foundation in regard to aspects of assessment for learning, which is consistent with the current educational reform. It is possible to identify major discrepancies between theory and practice of evaluative assessment of this group of teachers; however, it emphasizes the essence of formative assessment in the teaching-learning process.Keywords: Teacher’s conceptions, evaluation, assessment, learning, teacher evaluation.

Políticas y programas para escuelas más seguras: ¿Las medidas “contra el bullying” obstruyen a la educación para la construcción de paz?
Authors: Bickmore Kathy
Published: October 2023

Las medidas contra la violencia que prevalecen en las escuelas públicas, especialmente en un contexto actual de un énfasis creciente ante el bullying (acoso escolar), se centran más en la vigilancia y en el control que en la construcción de relaciones sanas o en el aprendizaje sobre el conflicto y la paz. Este énfasis en dichas políticas incrementa los riesgos de marginalización y limita las oportunidades disponibles para que la diversidad de estudiantes desarrolle su autonomía y la corresponsabilidad. Este estudio cualitativo examina las interpretaciones contrastantes de los educadores en relación a las iniciativas de seguridad implementadas en las escuelas y a las prácticas de manejo de conflictos, en escuelas con mayor o menor grado de relaciones pacíficas, dentro de poblaciones urbanas con condiciones ambientales generadoras de estrés. El estudio también señala áreas de cambio potenciales para esclarecer y redefinir políticas institucionales con el fin de mejorar un entorno que fomente la construcción de la paz en las escuelas de una manera sustentablePalabras clave: Escuelas seguras, Bullying (acoso escolar), Educación sobre la paz, Resolución de conflictos, Escuelas urbanas.Prevailing anti-violence practices in public schools, especially in the context of recently increased emphasis on bullying, often allocate more resources to surveillance and control than to facilitation of healthy relationships or conflict/ peace learning. This policy emphasis increases the risks of marginalization and reduces opportunities for diverse students to develop autonomy and mutual responsibility. This qualitative study examines educators’ contrasting interpretations of various school safety and conflict management initiatives in practice, in peaceful and less peaceful schools serving stressed urban populations, and points out spaces for potential policy shifts and clarifications that could enhance sustainable peacebuilding in schools.Keywords: Safe schools, Bullying, Peace education, Conflict resolution, Urban schools.

Authors: Youssef Wessam M. , El-Din Ahmed M. Hossam
Published: October 2023

The goal of this study is to estimate the prevalence of the retromolar in the Egyptian population and to enhance the allocation of the retromolar canals and foramina. Methodology: Using a Newtom Giano HR CBCT system, radiographic evaluation of 250 CBCT scans was performed. According to the manufacturer's guidelines, multiple FOVs were used with the same voxel size (0.3 mm) to produce distinct scans for different patient sizes. The presence of retromolar canal was checked for, using the CBCT scans. Linear measurements were made from the retromolar foramen to the mandibular foramen in an anteroposterior and a mediolateral directions, as well as to the lower second and third molars, and their courses was divided into three basic classes. Results: In this study, retromolar canal was absent in sides 207 (82.8%) while was presented in 43 (17%), absence of retromolar canal was significantly higher than its presence as P<0.0001. Regarding distribution, bilateral side (16.3%) was significantly lower than unilateral distribution (83.7%) as P<0.0001. In class distribution, class A (70%) was significantly the highest, while class C (6%) was significantly the lowest. Conclusion: The prevalence of retromolar canal in the Egyptian population is 17%. When evaluating the retromolar region to identify the presence of the retromolar canal and retromolar foramen to prevent problems after various dental surgical procedures, the use of CBCT is crucial.

Published: October 2023

In the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, the principle of legality is formulated differently from the basic idea of the colonial one. The Indonesian criminal law system adheres to the principle of legality with a prohibition on the use of analogical legal interpretation. The question is, what about our new Criminal Code? In this study, the type of legal research used was a sociological juridical approach. Primary data was obtained from data sources in the field. Secondary data was obtained from primary legal material of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and related laws and regulations, as well as from books and other legal research journals. Reforming criminal law with a balance between formal legality and material legality is expected to create a criminal system that considers justice and legal benefits in addition to legal certainty. Based on the findings, this can be concluded. The concept of balance as the basic idea of reforming criminal law in Indonesia is in accordance with the ideals of law and the character of the Indonesian who places a balance between individual interests and social interests, the state law and living law in society, as well as formal legality and material legality, so that the values shared by the Indonesian people as mandated by Pancasila can be implemented in a just law enforcement.

The objective of the research was to correlate between clinical performance of the nursing students and their perception towards OSCE and their OSCE exam results.  A Comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 224 Female students (167 female students and 57 male students) who enrolled in the clinical courses from level 4 to 8 in the department of nursing; sample were selected through stratified random sample method.  A questionnaire was used to assess the students’ perception towards OSCE; whereas to assess the correlation between nursing students’ perceptions and their OSCE exam results and to find the correlation between nursing students’ clinical performance score, lab score and their OSCE exam results, the real grades were taken from each course. Current study showed that students had a positive overall impression of the OSCE exam (M = 41.3, SD 12.7). Students' attitudes towards the OSCE exam were rated on a mean scale of 11 (SD 3.45). Researchers found positive correlation between the students' OSCE grade and their lab competency grade (r s = .445, P = <0.001) and their clinical performance grade (r s = .503, P = <0.001) grades. However, there was no relationship (r s =.085, P =.207) between the students’ OSCE grade and their perception toward the OSCE exam.  The majority of respondents were identified to have positive attitudes towards OSCE as well as overall positive impression of the OSCE exam.  OSCE is a reliable and valid assessment tool in the nursing profession. OSCE at the same time can inspire students' critical thinking and promote their communication skills. Through the continuous application of OSCE in nursing education from the beginning, it may have some potential impact on the clinical field.

We made an attempt to examine the stock prices response to quarterly earnings announcements in Indian stock market. To test the market efficiency, the event study methodology is applied and the abnormal returns are measured using the market model method. We have included NSE nifty 500 companies as sample. We observed that the majority of days during the prior to and post-announcement periods, the Abnormal returns are positive and significant. That implies that investors may experience unusual gains as a result of earnings news. So, we came to the conclusion that the Indian stock market is inefficient at the semi-strong level.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease, with an increasing prevalence in all regions of the world. Its spectrum includes hepatic steatosis (HS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD may represent the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MS), with a prevalence directly proportional to the prevalence of obesity and MS. The standard treatment for patients with NAFLD is lifestyle modification, which in medical practice has many limitations. To overcome them, numerous drugs with benefits in the prevention and treatment of the disease have been studied. Currently, the most used substances are vitamin E and Pioglitazone, with numerous benefits. Furthermore, new strategies and beneficial treatments are needed for the prevention of the disease, which is currently a priority in both the health and research fields. One of the most studied agents in the last decades has been ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is of great interest in the treatment of NAFLD due to its hepatoprotective effects.

Theoretical Substantiation of the Main Parameters of Axial Devices for Threshing Grass Seeds
Authors: Simonov Maksim V. , Plotnikov Sergey А. , Mokiev Valentin Yu.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The review of literature sources has shown that at the moment there are no reliable methods, which theoretically determine the main parameters of axial devices for threshing grass seeds and it is necessary to conduct researches to establish a mathematical relationship between these parameters and quality indicators.
Aim of the Article. The article aim is theoretical substantiation of the dependence of the main parameters of axial devices for threshing grass seeds on the quality requirements to the technological process of threshing grass seeds.
Materials and Methods. A set of priori information about the operation of axial rasp-bar threshers, the analysis of literary sources and own observations of the working process of the clover thresher K-0.3 allowed determining the basic prerequisites to develop an algorithm for solving the task.
Results. As a result of theoretical consideration of the process of moving particles of the processed material in the working space of a drum-deck axial-rotor device for threshing grass seeds, a system of mathematical equations is obtained. The solution of the resulting system of equations makes it possible to determine the average axial velocity of the particles and a number of impacts inflicted by the rasps on them during movement. There is obtained an expression for linking the degree of seed threshing and main parameters of the device such as length, a number of rasps and the direction of their cleats, and the frequency of rotation of the drum.
Discussion and Сonclusion. It was found that the degree of seed threshing significantly depends on both the length of the threshing device and a number of drum rasps and the direction of their cleats. The theoretical dependencies obtained as a result of the study make it possible to determine the main parameters of axial devices for threshing seeds, depending on the requirements imposed on the device.
The Syriac Script at Turfan
Authors: Galatello Martina
Published: October 2023

This is the first book-length palaeographic study of about a thousand fragments in Syriac and Sogdian languages discovered between 1902 and 1914 in the Turfan area on the ancient Northern Silk Roads. This manuscript material, probably dating between the late 8th and 13th /14th centuries, is of utmost relevance for the history of an area that represents a crossroads region of various communities, languages and religions, not least the East Syriac Christian community. Palaeographic factors such as form, modulus, ductus, contrast, spaces between letters and ligatures have been examined. Particularly significant is a peculiar ligature of the letters ṣādē and nūn. One important observation that emerges from this research is the almost total absence of monumental script in favour of mostly cursive forms, most of them East Syriac cursive forms. These represent a valuable source for the study of the history of the East Syriac script due to the paucity of earlier and contemporary East Syriac manuscript evidence from the Middle East, at least before the twelfth century. Moreover, this research sheds light on scribal habits that are highly relevant for a better comprehension of the Sogdian and Syriac-speaking Christian communities, for the history of writing between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and for a greater understanding of the social context in which these and other communities in the same area read, wrote, and shared handwritten texts.
BDG inequalities and their applications for model-free continuous price paths with instant enforcement
Authors: Łochowski Rafał Marcin
Published: October 2023

Shafer and Vovk introduce in their book [8] the notion of instant enforcement and instantly blockable properties. However, they do not associate these notions with any outer measure, unlike what Vovk did in the case of sets of “typical” price paths. In this paper an outer measure on the space $[0,+\infty )\times \Omega $ is introduced, which assigns zero value exactly to those sets (properties) of pairs of time t and an elementary event ω which are instantly blockable. Next, for a slightly modified measure, Itô’s isometry and BDG inequalities are proved, and then they are used to define an Itô-type integral. Additionally, few properties are proved for the quadratic variation of model-free continuous martingales, which hold with instant enforcement.
