La paradoja de los niños y las niñas saludables que “no comen”. Una investigación sociológica sobre la crianza en Bogotá
Authors: Díaz Benavides Jhon Jairo
Published: May 2016

Este artículo es el producto de una investigación cualitativa realizada en Bogotá durante el periodo comprendido entre agosto del 2013 y marzo del 2015, para la que se sometieron a análisis treinta entrevistas semiestructuradas, realizadas tanto a pediatras como a acudientes de niños y niñas menores de seis años de edad que fueron llevados a consulta médica por la preocupación de que “no comen”, pero que luego del respectivo examen médico fueron considerados saludables. La paradoja resulta de la dificultad para explicar y entender que ciertos niños y niñas que durante sus primeros años no comen, según los papás o acudientes, resulten sin ningún criterio médico que pueda ser considerado como una enfermedad. Enmarcado en el modelo de análisis en el que illness, disease y sickness son tres formas diferentes pero complementarias de entender la enfermedad, se encontró en el “no comer” un problema sociológico en el que el sistema explicativo de creencias, pautas y prácticas de crianza por parte de los padres o cuidadores durante el proceso socialización primaria de los pequeños involucrados marca el inicio y el desarrollo de un conflicto en el momento de la alimentación que termina siendo motivo de consulta pediátrica. De la misma manera que se da en otros aspectos de la crianza, en la alimentación se da una negociación entre las diversas características biológicas y culturales involucradas, que pueden resultar francamente problemáticas, ocasionando choques insospechados entre los adultos y los infantes durante su proceso de socialización. Finalmente, se encontraron indicios consistentes con la sospecha de que el no comer de los niños y las niñas es una manifestación problemática de la forma como actualmente se conciben en la sociedad tanto la infancia —por medio del discurso de los derechos— como el rol de los padres, quienes se terminan encontrando en una franca crisis de sentido.

Published: May 2016

Durante el presente estudio se evaluaron los pulmones de 582 bovinos machos tipo exportación, de razas cebuinas  y diferentes procedencias, faenados en el frigorífico del municipio de  Montería – Córdoba (FRIGOSINU), con la finalidad de identificar las lesiones encontradas en este órgano. El muestreo se hizo en forma sistemática durante 10 días, evaluando animales escogidos al azar. Durante el tiempo de estudio se decomisaron los pulmones de 190 animales con algún tipo de alteración pulmonar, lo cual corresponde al 32,6%. El 67,4% de los animales muestreados resultaron sin alteración macroscópica evidente. Estos resultados se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva, encontrándose que el enfisema intersticial fue la causa principal de decomiso, siendo observado en el 64,7% de los animales, seguido de hemorragias (15,8%), neumonía lobar (10,5%), congestión pulmonar (8,9%) y broncoaspiración de contenido ruminal (9,0%). Al analizar las evidencias macroscópicas de los pulmones decomisados, se concluye que la mayoría de las alteraciones encontradas en los pulmones decomisados obedece a fallas en el proceso de insensibilización y sacrificio de los animales, no se pueden descartar problemas infecciosos, sin embargo el diagnóstico de laboratoriao  no fue contemplado en este estudio, por lo tanto se establece diagnóstico presuntivo de acuerdo a las lesiones macroscópicas.

Published: May 2016

Sous-vide (French for ʽunder vacuum’) is a professional cooking method, by which, under oxygen-free conditions and precise temperature control, not only cooking but preservation is achieved. During the process the food matrix is vacuum-packed and undergoes a mild heat treatment, thus achieving an enhanced nutrition value and a better organoleptic character. Due to the mild heat treatment (55 to 90 °C), the high water activity, and the slight acidity of raw materials, the microbial quality assurance is a great challenge even for professionals. The heat treatment does not assure the inactivation of pathogen spores. In our experiments we used Clostridium perfringens representing the spore-forming pathogens, and Salmonella Enteritidis as a the food-borne infection bacterium. Effects of various temperatures were measured in normal and sous-vide type vacuum packaging. Higher thermal death rate in vacuum packaging was demonstrated for Salmonella Enteritidis and Clostridium perfringens.

Published: May 2016

The phenolic and flavonoid contents and composition and the antioxidant ability in Hericium erinaceus, Ganoderma lucidum, and Agrocybe aegerita under selenium (Se) addition to growth medium were studied. The contents of total Se in fruiting bodies of controls (0 mM of Se) were 4.58 (A. aegerita), 8.53 (G. lucidum), and 14.29 (H. erinaceus) mg kg–1 dry weight (DW), and was significantly increased by Se enrichment of substrate. The total phenolics in fruiting bodies of controls of H. erinaceus, G. lucidum, and A. aegerita were significantly lower (17.10, 28.11, and 16.05 mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of extract, respectively) than for Se-rich mushrooms (26.29, 40.29, and 20.07 mg GAE/g of extract, respectively). Total flavonoid content for H. erinaceus, G. lucidum, and A. aegerita increased after Se supplementation from 368.6 to 445.6, 469.9 to 627.7, and 318.1 to 393.9 μg g–1 of extract, respectively. The results show that the mushrooms have superior antioxidant properties after Se addition, because the scavenging ability on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals was improved.

Published: May 2016

The aim of our experiments was to demonstrate the non-thermal effect of microwave treatment on Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation activity. A method was developed for studying the effects of various treatments in the course of must fermentation. The raw material (must) was treated in different ways: (i) heat transfer; (ii) microwave treatment; (iii) inoculation with yeast, and (iv) their combinations. The results of the treatments were compared with respect to alcohol concentration, sugar content, and acidity. The results proved that sugar content of the treated samples rapidly decreased compared to the control sample, and fermentation time was 40% shorter in the fastest case. These results can be explained by the yeast inoculation and microwave treatment. Due to non-thermal effects, fermentation capacity increased by about 30%, while the energy consumption decreased.

In total 22 sessions were carried out during the school year 2014 / 2015 - from the beginning of October, 2014 until the end of May, 2015. The Emotion Questionnaire (Rydell et al., 2003) parents’ version was used to evaluate emotional competence – emotionality and emotion regulation. Prosocial scale, Internalizing and Externalizing scale of The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ, Goodman,1997) parents‘ versions were used to measure social competence, i.e., prosocial behaviour and nonexistence of behavioural problems. Testing was performed in 3 time points – before intervention, after 10 sessions, and after intervention. Pre and post intervention results of social and emotional competence revealed different changes of experimental (n = 10) and control (n = 9) group pupils. Experimental group pupils showed statistically significant improvement in emotion regulation outcomes, prosocial and internalizing behaviour, but control group pupils showed decrease in emotion regulation outcomes and increase of internalizing behaviour. Both between-group and within- group analysis indicated, that internalizing behaviour results have most pronounced changes. Repeated measures ANOVA and Post hoc test with Bonferroni adjustment revealed statistically significant time effect for experimental group pupils (F(2,18)=4.81, p=0.02, η2=0.35) and tendency level with 90% probability for control group pupils (F(2,16)=3.40, p=0.06, η2=0.30).

Published: May 2016

The importance of studying attitudes towards gambling has been recently recognized in the field of gambling. Research aim is to examine whether non-gamblers and gamblers exhibit both positive and negative implicit attitudes towards gambling-related stimuli. Research questions: (I) What is the valence of implicit associations with gambling among gamblers and non-gamblers? (II) Are the differences in attitudes towards gambling revealed by explicit and implicit methods among gamblers and non–gamblers? (III) Is there a consistency between results obtained by implicit measures and explicit measures of attitude towards gambling? Methods: Participants - 98, age 18-58, Mdn=34 years. Groups: Social Gamblers – 24, Problem Gamblers – 25, Non-Gamblers – 49. Implicit measures: Modified version of Single-Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT). Explicit measures: “Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs (GABS)” and “Gamblers anonymous twenty questions (GA-20)”. Results and Conclusions. (I) Both positive and negative implicit gambling associations were found in each of the groups. (II) Explicit attitudes towards gambling are most pronounced in social gamblers and most not pronounced in non-gamblers. Differences in implicit associations with gambling among the groups were not found. (III) In case of positive implicit associations, a negative correlation between the results of explicit and implicit measurements was found. It is possible that the use of negative implicit associations will contribute to the classification of gamblers with low, moderate and high risk.

Development of information technology as a technical basis of the modern society enters all spheres of life of the society and influences significantly ways and forms of existence of every individual. On the one hand, intensive application of information technology innovations in the society’s everyday life and appearance of the sphere of virtual communication create wide space for realisation of possibilities, but on the other hand, it often leads to social atomisation of a personality. Urgency of the given research is caused by dynamics of the information flow as a global factor of contemporaneity that gave rise to the problem of social atomisation of the personality expressed in mediated communication, characterised by isolation of the individual, when the virtual environment becomes the main channel of communication excluding traditional ways of relations.
ACQUISITION OF STUDENT SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY SKILLS: CENTRALISED EXAMINATION RESULTS IN CHEMISTRY
Authors: Volkinsteine Jelena , Namsone Dace
Published: May 2016

From 2011, the new educational standard in Latvia in the framework of the educational reform on the centralised examination (CE) in chemistry stipulates students to demonstrate the inquiry skills they have mastered. The purpose of this study is to find out the students’ inquiry skills by analysing the CE results in chemistry. This study addresses the following research questions: (a) To what extent are the centralised examination inquiry skills measured according to the standard outcomes? (b) What information on how students have mastered the inquiry skills in chemistry is available from the CE results for the period of 2011-2015? (c) Does measuring the inquiry skills using inquiry-based laboratory work and inquiry tasks demonstrate similar achievements? The results of the study show that the CE inquiry tasks allow examining only several inquiry skills, that students have difficulties in hypothesizing and planning the procedure. The results of the examination inquiry task (the 'hidden' part) and inquiry-based laboratory work (the part prepared by the school) differ considerably. These findings show a contradiction. On the one hand, when carrying out a inquiry-based laboratory work at school students demonstrate good inquiry skills. On the other hand, they lack the skills when solving an inquiry task during the centralised examination. This proves the insufficient skills of the teachers in organising real student scientific inquiry during lessons and failure in using the inquiry-based laboratory work record as an objective measuring tool in evaluating the student inquiry skills in the examination, which is our case.

Authors: Cesnaviciene Jurate , Ustilaite Stase , Kalinkeviciene Ausra
Published: May 2016

Seeking to successfully act in the 21st century, a person should have a relatively big spectrum of abilities and competences; in other words, s/he should develop literacy in a number of spheres. Health literacy is essential for a person’s daily capability to manage own health and the quality of life, which is dependent on it. It is significant for the social and economic development of the society. The purpose of the research was to identify the relationships between subjective health literacy and self-reported health status among young adults in Lithuania. The methods of the research included the analysis, interpretation and generalisation of scientific literature on the topic of research, as well as anonymous questionnaire survey. Self-reported health status was ascertained by a single WHO recommended question: “How is your health in general?” Subjective health literacy of young adults was measured using an HLS-EU-Q-47 questionnaire. The survey was conducted in 2014. The research sample included 798 young adults. The results showed high correlation between health literacy in the three health relevant areas and general health literacy. Having generalised the research data, it was noted that the young adults with good/very good selfreported health status tend to achieve sufficient or excellent levels of health literacy on health care, disease prevention or health promotion and general health literacy.
PROGNOSIS OF VISUALIZATION USAGE IN THE SCIENCE EDUCATION PROCESS
Authors: Bilbokaite Renata
Published: May 2016

Future education depends on many external exogenous factors - society evolution, technologic progress, teachers’ opinion and their ability to organize the education process. Science education is difficult for many students but the progress of the society definitely correlated with achievements of science. This highlights the importance of teaching biology, chemistry, physics, geography and mathematics at school. Visualization helps students to learn science education but at the moment teachers are not likely to use computer based visualization. It is important to find out the predictions of the future – whether pedagogues are planning to use various kinds of visualization. The research results show more than half of teachers believe that physical visualisation in the next five years will be used similarly to now. The same situation was identified asking teachers about paper based visualization. On the contrary, application of the computer-based visualisation in near future is foreseen as the progressive phenomenon: internet sites, interactive boards will mostly increase in the next five years; also, knowledge of students will be more often inspected by aids of computer-based tests.

Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is a form of non-invasive positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy that differs from other PAP devices. It includes features to overcome both obstructive and central sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) events. In the Treatment of Sleep-Disordered Breathing with Predominant Central Sleep Apnea by Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in Patients with Heart Failure (SERVE-HF) study, ASV significantly reduced SDB events in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) and predominant central sleep apnoea (CSA), but did not improve outcomes, and there was increased mortality risk in the ASV group. Although the SERVE-HF results represent a paradigm shift for ASV, they are only applicable to a small subset of ASV-treated patients, and there is no evidence suggesting that ASV use should stop altogether. There are a number of other indications and patient groups for whom ASV may be useful, effective and safe, including patients with treatment-emergent CSA, central apnoeas associated with long-term opioid therapy without alveolar hypoventilation, idiopathic Cheyne-Stokes respiration, after ischaemic stroke and those with HF with preserved ejection fraction. Additional research is required to better define the mechanism of increased risk associated with ASV identified in SERVE-HF and to more clearly characterise the specific patient phenotypes who benefit from ASV therapy.

Pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPBs) represent a rare, malignant neoplasm in infants and children. Despite their overall rarity, they are the most common primary lung malignancy in young children. Typically originating as cystic lesions that are amenable to easy resection, PPBs can progress to solid masses prone to metastases if not identified and treated early enough. In their early cystic form, PPBs are often difficult to distinguish from congenital pulmonary airway malformations based on clinical and radiographic findings. We report on an eight-month-old girl who presented to our institution with a large, right-sided, cystic lung lesion, which had not been apparent on a chest radiograph shortly after birth. After excision of the lesion, pathology demonstrated it to be a type I PPB, which was unique for its apparent extra lobar origin. We review the relevant literature concerning PPBs, as well as the debate surrounding resection of cystic lung lesions in infants and children.
Cleavings: Critical Losses in the Politics of Gain
Authors: Davidson Michael
Published: May 2016

Many of Emily Dickinson's best known poems deal with the loss of sight, based on her own experiences with temporary blindness in the mid 1860s, but they are less about the absence of sight than about how she experiences the limits of consciousness: "I could not see to see." She probed the loss of sensation for what it could teach her about what is most familiar—and thus invisible. Using poems by Emily Dickinson and recent work in cultural and queer theory, this essay explores the fine line between "gain" and "loss" in disability studies. Using the author's experience of sudden hearing loss, "Cleavings" argues that recent claims for "deaf gain" have vaunted possibilities of cultural inclusiveness to the exclusion of affective realms of frustration, loss, and failure that are seldom acknowledged experiences of deaf and hard-of-hearing persons. While endorsing the general thrust of deaf gain and its implications for the larger context of disability, "Cleavings" argues for a more critical understanding of loss in the politics of gain.

APPLICATION OF ONTOLOGY DESIGN PATTERNS TO DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF ONTOLOGIES IN AN INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE SPACE
Authors:   Institute for Informatics and Mathematical Modeling of Technological Processes, The Kola Science Center of RAS, P. Lomov
Published: May 2016

Article is devoted to a problem of development and use of the ontologies of information systems within integrated knowledge space. The main objective in that case to overcome the semantic heterogeneity of ontologies that as a result will ensure semantic interoperability of the information systems based on them. An application of ontology design patterns during “life cycle” of such ontologies is proposed as a solution. The concept of an ontology design pattern, and also different types of patterns and their examples is presented. The main advantages of patterns application in such ontology handling scenarios as development of ontologies, their visualization for transmission of ontological knowledge to users, execution of queries to ontologies are given. In addition, the main problems arising from the use of ontologies based on patterns are considered.

Decision-making support in management of complex systems, operating in conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints, serves to improve management efficiency and the quality of decisions, which depend on the use of decision support technologies, methods, data and knowledge quality. This article reviews the mathematical model of the problem of resource management of complex systems based on semantic constraints. The general algorithm based on multiagent approach is proposed to solve the problem of resource management, taking into account the limitations of semantic domain. The basic requirements and principles of decision support system design for the resources management of complex systems are formulated. The main content of support types of decision support system design is presented. The prototype of solving the problem of resource management in emergency situations was developed. The results of evaluation of the effectiveness of using the prototype are given.

The article discusses the applicability of ontological description for conceptual modelling of a subject domain in order to improve the effectiveness of information search and categorization. The authors experience in the field is given. Main stages of the ontological model’s creation are described based on the example of the “Institute of additional professional education” ontology. The example ontology was created using Protégé 4.2. The examples of classes and individuals descriptions, their relations and SPARQL-quarries are given. The article presents a description of a subject domain with the logic of first order predicates. A semantic network of a subject domain is demonstrated. The advantages of ontological modeling are stated. The tasks of further studies to optimize the processes of analysis and processing of information in the establishment of additional professional education using the developed ontology are stated.

Due to transition to a new generation of standards, the list of tasks associated with the planning and organization of educational process, structure and composition of the basic educational program is forming. The challenge of evaluation of conformity of the educational program requirements with educational and professional standards and consideration of current market's and students' needs is visible at the initial stage of planning the structure and composition of the educational process. The paper presents examples of ontological models for solving tasks of the university educational process, and description of their design. Two examples were reviewed: ontological modeling for planning educational process of high school and ontological modeling to describe the competencies of IT-specialists. The conclusion is made about the prospects of ontologies using for formalization such subject area as the organization of the educational process of the university.

Published: May 2016

The article focuses on the analysis of defects in hardware-software complexes as an integral part of the functional safety management of complex systems. The analysis of unintentional defects locations that could affect the functional safety of hardware-software complexes is made. An approach to the concept of "defect" as a multidimensional system, described its projections: impact on stakeholders, technological, managerial is proposed. The classification of characteristic defects for software products and projects are shown. A system and mathematical models of software products and projects as a basis to identify possible locations of defects is described. The role of the subjective component in the designing of the components of hardware-software complexes is demonstrated.
