Pre-service Preschool Teachers’ Opinions on Technology Education in Kindergarten / Mišljenja studenata predškolskog odgoja o tehnološkom obrazovanju u predškolskim ustanovama
Authors: Zuljan Darjo
Published: February 2019

AbstractParticipation in a technological society demands deep and critical understanding of technology and its impact on each individual, the environment and society. Achieving technological literacy has become an imperative of national policies; hence, the role of education and adequate teacher training has become vital. In recent years, research in technology education has begun incorporating studies of pre-schools, but technology education in pre-schools still remains less studied. The research focuses on technological literacy of pre-service pre-school teachers. Most of them think that technology, technology education and knowledge are very important for pre-school teachers even if they consider their aptitudes to be low. Part-time students, in comparison to full-time students, exhibit higher technological literacy and more highly assess the impact of everyday technological environment on the lives of individuals, the need for technological knowledge in the lives of modern people, the importance of technology education in kindergarten, the importance of technological knowledge for quality professional work of pre-school teachers, the importance of technology education during their study at the faculty, and their own competencies in the technological field.Key words: full-time students; part-time students; technological literacy.---SažetakŽivot u društvu u kojemu tehnologija zauzima važno mjesto zahtijeva duboko i kritičko razumijevanje tehnologije i njezina utjecaja na svakog pojedinca, okolinu i društvo. Postizanje tehnološke pismenosti postao je imperativ nacionalnih politika; stoga je uloga obrazovanja, uz adekvatno osposobljavanje učitelja, iznomno važna. Posljednjih godina istraživanja u području tehnološkog obrazovanja uključuju i istraživanja vezana uz predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje, ali poučavanje tehnologije u predškolskim ustanovama još se uvijek nedovoljno istražuje. Istraživanje je usmjereno na tehnološku pismenost studenata programa predškolskog odgoja. Većina studenata smatra da su tehnologija, tehnološko obrazovanje i znanje iznimno važni za odgojitelje, iako svoje sposobnosti u navedenom području ocjenjuju niskima. Izvanredni studenti, za razliku od redovnih, pokazuju veću tehnološku pismenost i daju veću važnost utjecaju svakodnevnog tehnološkog okruženja na živote pojedinaca, potrebi za tehnološkim znanjem u životu modernog čovjeka, važnosti tehnološkog obrazovanja u predškolskim ustanovama, važnosti tehnološkog znanja za kvalitetan profesionalni rad odgojitelja, važnosti tehnološkog obrazovanja tijekom studija i svojim kompetencijama u području tehnologije.Ključne riječi: izvanredni studenti; redovni studenti; tehnološka pismenost.

Abstract  Hydra (Cnidaria) is a cosmopolite freshwater invertebrate that establishes symbiosis with unicellular algae. Its simple body is comprised of three layers: epidermis, mesoglea and gastrodermis. The goal of this research was to determine the effect of flavonoids quercetin and naringenin upon hydra – alga symbiosis, to determine how motivated teachers are to perform such a mode of teaching and whether this motivation depends on their age, years of working experience, the school they work in, available time, space and material. An anonymous survey on a sample of 100 biology teachers was used in the research. Hydras and algae were treated with quercetin and naringenin in concentrations of 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 gL−1 and compared to the control, and Chlorella bioassay was used. Morphological changes included migration, reaction to mechanical stimuli, asexual reproduction, secretion of mucus and mortality. Cyto-histological analysis revealed changes of all three layers and growth inhibition. Naringenin exerted altogether higher impact than quercetin. Survey results indicated that teachers are willing to use this experiment in school, and that most schools have the minimum required equipment. Because of the possibility of adapting this experiment in different temporal and spatial conditions, its performance in school is suggested.Key words: learning; motivation; naringenin; quercetin; teaching.---SažetakHydra (Cnidaria) je kozmopolitski slatkovodni beskralježnjak koji uspostavlja simbiozu s jednostaničnim algama. Njezino jednostavno tijelo sastoji se od tri sloja: epiderma, mezogleje i gastroderma. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi utjecaj flavonoida kvercetina i naringenina na simbiozu hidre i alge, odrediti koliko su nastavnici motivirani za primjenu takvog načina poučavanja te ovisi li navedena motivacija o njihovoj dobi, godinama radnog iskustva, školi u kojoj rade, raspoloživom vremenu, prostoru i materijalima. U istraživanju je upotrijebljena anonimna anketa na uzorku od 100 nastavnika biologije. Hidre i alge tretirane su kvercetinom i naringeninom pri koncentracijama od 0,2, 0,25 i 0,3 gL-1 i uspoređene su s kontrolnim uzorkom, a koristio se biološki test Chlorella test. Morfološke promjene uključivale su migraciju, reakciju na mehaničke podražaje, nespolno razmnožavanje, izlučivanje sluzi i smrtnost. Citološko-histološkom analizom utvrđene su promjene svih triju slojeva, kao i inhibicije rasta. Naringenin je imao ukupno veći učinak od kvercetina. Rezultati dobiveni anketom pokazali su da su nastavnici spremni izvoditi navedeni eksperiment u školi te da većina škola ima minimalnu potrebnu opremu. Zbog mogućnosti prilagodbe opisanog eksperimenta različitim vremenskim i prostornim uvjetima, predlaže se njegova primjena u školi.Ključne riječi: učenje; motivacija; naringenin; kvercetin; nastava.

Published: February 2019

Abstract In information and communication society, school cannot turn a blind eye to new technologies. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to examine the potential use of tablets by primary school students in the school and the family context. The research was developed using qualitative methodology. A total of 247 respondents participated in the study, involving students, their parents and teachers. The results and conclusions show that there is no systematic work with tablets. Among practices of using tablets in school, it is worth mentioning those related to the investigation/information collection, those belonging to exploratory type and those related to audio-visual creation, while at home tablet usage assumes the recreational character. As a starting point, the positive attitude of teachers and parents towards using tablets has an impact on a better use of tablets, although they cannot be understood as a means to improve students' academic learning. However, tablets increase students’ motivation.Key words: family context; ICT; mobile devices; primary education; tablet.---SažetakU društvu u kojemu prevladavaju informacijska i komunikacijska tehnologija škole ne mogu ignorirati nove tehnologije. Stoga je glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja ispitati potencijal upotrebe tableta u radu s osnovnoškolcima u školi i u njihovome obiteljskom okruženju. Istraživanje je provedeno primjenom kvalitativne metodologije. U njemu je ukupno sudjelovalo 247 ispitanika – učenika, njihovih roditelja i nastavnika. Rezultati i zaključci pokazuju da se tableti u nastavi ne koriste sustavno. U praksi upotrebe tableta u školi potrebno je spomenuti njihovu upotrebu za provjeravanje/prikupljanje informacija, u istraživačke svrhe te za izradu audiovizualnih sadržaja, a tableti se kod kuće koriste u rekreativne svrhe. Najvažnije je da od samoga početka nastavnici i roditelji imaju pozitivan stav prema upotrebi tableta, jer to utječe na njihovu učinkovitiju upotrebu. Iako se tableti ne mogu smatrati sredstvom za poboljšanje akademskih postignuća učenika, oni pozitivno utječu na povećanje njihove motivacije. Ključne riječi: obiteljsko okruženje; IKT; mobilni uređaji, osnovnoškolsko obrazovanje; tableti.

Shakespeare, Art and Artifice: An Interview with Stuart Sillars
Authors: McPartland Perry
Published: February 2019

Ahead of the publication of his forthcoming book, Shakespeare Seen: Image, Performance and Society (Cambridge, 2018), Stuart Sillars sat down for an interview with Perry McPartland. The discussion revisited a number of topics that Sillars has explored in his various publications on Shakespeare, including Shakespeare’s aesthetic strategies of transformation, the relationship his work takes to the visual, and the uses to which Shakespeare puts aesthetic artifice. The interview was conducted in two parts over a very nearly adequate Skype connection in the summer of 2018.
The strength and durability of steel fibre recycled concrete in chloride environments
Authors: Chen Qiu-nan , Li Song , Huang Xiao-Cheng
Published: February 2019

The strength and durability of structures are strongly influenced by damage from steel corrosion caused by chloride ions. This chloride-induced corrosion mechanism is investigated yearly. However, the strength and durability of steel fibre recycled concrete (SFRC) in chloride environments have rarely been studied. By changing the water–cement ratio of SFRC blocks, the sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration of the soaking solution, soaking time and the number of chloride-ion-permeating surfaces, a series of compressive strength experiments were performed, where the chloride ion content of tested blocks was measured. The results showed that the water–cement ratio of blocks greatly influences the strength and durability of SFRC and that the sodium chloride concentration of the soak solution, and the number of chloride-ion-permeating surfaces, also affects the blocks to a certain degree. A water–cement ratio of 0·45 should be chosen due to its low chloride ion content and high compressive strength. The water–cement ratio and the number of chloride-ion-permeating surfaces can be controlled more easily in practical engineering, it is therefore necessary to optimise the best water–cement design ratio and add a water-repellent coating on the SFRC surfaces to ensure the durability of the structure.
Analytical solution to axisymmetric consolidation under surcharge–vacuum–electro-osmosis
Authors: Wang Liujiang , Wang Yaoming , Liu Sihong , Xue Chenyang
Published: February 2019

Surcharge and vacuum preloading combined with electro-osmosis (surcharge–vacuum–electro-osmosis) is a potential method for accelerating the consolidation rate in soil improvement. However, a main limitation of previous analytical solutions on such a technique is the ignorance of the coupled vertical and horizontal water flow, smear effect, well resistance, time-dependent loading and distribution of the additional stress with depth. In this study, an analytical solution is developed with consideration of the aforementioned influencing factors on the consolidation process under surcharge–vacuum–electro-osmosis. The accuracy of the proposed solution is verified using analytical solutions available in previous literature, and a parametric study is then conducted. The result indicates that the surcharge–vacuum–electro-osmosis method can improve the reinforcement effect and shorten the consolidation time. The degree of consolidation will be underestimated if ignoring the vertical flow, and overestimated if ignoring the smear effect and surcharge loading time in the model. However, a decrease in the vacuum degree along the drain has little effect on the consolidation rate. In addition, a decrease in the additional stress along the depth will reduce the final ground settlement but accelerate the consolidation rate. The proposed analytical solution can be applied in the consolidation design under surcharge–vacuum–electro-osmosis with the electric vertical drain used.

Bidomain single crystals of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) are promising material for usage as actuators, mechanoelectrical transducers and sensors working in a wide temperature range. It is necessary to take into account anisotropy of properties of crystalline material when such devices are designed. Inthis study we investigated deformations of bidomain round shapedY+ 128°-cut wafers of lithium niobate in an external electric field. Dependencies of piezoelectric coefficients on rotation angles were calculated for lithium niobate and lithium tantalate and plotted for the crystal cuts which are used for bidomain ferroelectric structure formation. In experiment, we utilized external heating method and long-time annealing with lithium out-diffusion method in order to create round bidomain lithium niobate wafers. In order to obtain dependencies of the bidomain crystals’ movements on the rotation angle with central fastening and external electric field application optical microscopy was used. We also modeled a shape of the deformed bidomain wafer with a suggestion that the edge movement depends on the radial distance to the fastening point quadratically. In conclusion, bidomainY+ 128°-cut lithium niobate wafer exhibits saddle-like deformation when DC electric field is applied.

The FTIR analysis confirmed that the esterification increased the crystallinity and thermal stability of the acetylated fibres. Composites showed a decrease in the melt flow index and a slight reduction in density and hardness in relation to the matrix. Good matrix/fibre adhesion was observed by SEM micrographs.
Narrative Analysis of Body Dissatisfaction and Spirituality
Authors: Buser Juleen K. , McLaughlin Rachael Parkins
Published: February 2019

We inquired into the ways in which seven female participants experienced body dissatisfaction and spirituality—both as separate and as connected issues in their lives. Following a narrative analysis, we identified three main themes. The first theme involved participants’ open, accepting spiritual beliefs. The second theme involved participants’ struggle with body dissatisfaction, which for many was a persistent difficulty. Within this theme of body dissatisfaction, participants discussed ways this dissatisfaction was maintained and ways they were protected from engaging in eating disorder symptoms. Participants identified ways body dissatisfaction persisted, including tendencies to compare their bodies to others’ bodies and assume a sense of personal responsibility for their bodies. Participants discussed beliefs in health and spiritual aspects of protection as ways they were safeguarded from eating disorder symptoms. The third theme involved participants’ interpretation of a researcher inquiry about spiritual assistance with body dissatisfaction. Based on these findings, we present research and counseling implications.
Transcendent Characteristics as Predictors of Counselor Professional Quality of Life
Authors: Browning Brandon R. , McDermott Ryon C. , Scaffa Marjorie E.
Published: February 2019

Although counselors do meaningful work, they can also experience compassion fatigue as a result of counseling clients. Relatively few studies have focused on how counselors’ positive characteristics might contribute to their professional quality of life. This study combined the transcendent constructs of gratitude, hope, and daily spiritual experiences as predictors of counselor burnout and compassion satisfaction. Counselors (N = 98) completed a survey assessing professional quality of life and constructs of gratitude, hope, and daily spiritual experiences. After controlling for demographic variables, simultaneous regression analysis revealed that gratitude and daily spiritual experiences were significant negative predictors for burnout. Older counselors were also less likely to have burnout, highlighting questions about what strengths are developed with age. Hope was the only significant predictor of compassion satisfaction. Results suggest that these predictors are differentially related to aspects of professional quality of life and may hold promise as potential protective factors.
Neuro-Informed Mental Health Counseling: A Person-First Perspective
Authors: Luke Chad , Miller Raissa , McAuliffe Garrett
Published: February 2019

Counseling from a client-centered, person-first perspective involves walking with and experiencing relationship with another person. One person in this relationship happens to be in the counselor role, while the other is in the client role, but both are engaged in this relationship. An informed understanding of neuroscience principles can illuminate this approach to counseling and help counselors facilitate this experience with clients. Neuroscience can both complement and augment mental health counseling when used appropriately. Yet, as a result of tensions between biological and phenomenological perspectives, counselors may feel pulled into an all-or-nothing, either/or dichotomy. We believe this dichotomy is unnecessary. Although much of contemporary neuroscience research is grounded in a materialist worldview that, on the surface, can seem fundamentally at odds with the more humanistic elements of counseling, we offer a conciliatory perspective on incorporating neuroscience into mental health counseling that preserves both a human and a scientific ethos.
Using Creative Arts in Trauma Therapy: The Neuroscience of Healing
Authors: Perryman Kristi , Blisard Paul , Moss Rochelle
Published: February 2019

Knowledge about the brain and the impact of trauma has increased significantly in recent years. Counselors must understand brain functioning and the effects of trauma in order to choose the most effective methods for working with clients. Creative arts therapies offer a nonthreatening way for clients to access and express their trauma, creating a corrective experience in the brain. Activities that incorporate body movement can be particularly helpful by providing a corrective emotional experience for those clients with an immobilized response to a traumatic event. This article offers a model for the assessment and treatment of trauma through the use of creative arts.

Aim. To evaluate the safety of the pulmonary artery radiofrequency catheter denervation in different pulmonary hypertension (PH) clinical forms.

Methods. 6 patients with different clinical forms of PH were included in the study with the further randomization into two groups. Group I patient (n = 3) underwent pulmonary denervation and group II patients (n = 3) underwent a placebo procedure. The examination of patients included routine clinical tests, the measurements of N-terminal precursor of the brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, coagulation blood tests, ECG recordings, echocardiography (with the estimation of mean pulmonary artery pressure), chest X-ray, the assessment of the respiratory function, right heart catheterization (RHC), six-minute walk test (6MWT), the assessment of the quality of life according to the SF-36 questionnaire. Intraoperative measures indicating the safety of the procedure were also studied.

Results. There were no statistically significant differences found in the intraoperative data between the groups. None intraoperative and postoperative complications during in the in-hospital period found. Mean pulmonary artery pressure reduced in two patients without any elevations 24 hours following the intervention. A decrease in mean pulmonary arterial pressure from 48 to 41 mm Hg was observed in a patient with primary PH. The second patient with post-embolic pulmonary hypertension demonstrated a reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure from 43 to 32 mm Hg. The third patient had no changes according to the RHC. All three patients showed a positive tendency according to the 6MWT and echocardiography, while none of these changes were recorded in Group II. The mean NT-pro-BNP level in Group I decreased from 1767±291 to 488±129 vs. 1519±305 and 1594±337 in Group II, respectively (P = 0.013). Conclusion Pulmonary artery denervation is a safe and promising treatment method, but further studies are required to prove its effectiveness.

Aim. To evaluate the hospital outcomes of chemical angioplasty in patients with vasospasm secondary to the clipping of the ruptured cerebral artery aneurysm.

Methods. 18 patients who underwent chemical angioplasty were included in the study. Patients’ age ranged from 24 to 66 years old, the mean age was 46.6±13.2 years. Indications for chemical angioplasty and the criteria for its termination were determined by the neurosurgeon based on clinical signs and symptoms, and the data of the non-invasive examination.

Results.The sessions of chemical angioplasty were performed an average of 4.7±2.3 days after the aneurysm clipping and 6.5±3 days after the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The number of sessions was 4.8±2.2 and varied from 1 to 9 sessions. The baseline Lindergard index was 3.82±0.6. Three patients (16.6%) died in the in-hospital period. The Lindergard index after the end of chemical angioplasty was 2.75±0.84, which is unreliably lower (p = 0.31) than that at the baseline.

Conclusion. Timely chemical angioplasty can reduce the development of significant vasospasm complications, particularly ischemic neurologic deficit.
Lawyers about job satisfaction
Authors: Sokolov N. Ya.
Published: February 2019

The solution of the problems associated with the rule of law state formation and improvement of the mechanism of the legal regulation depends mainly on lawyers as a social and professional group. Hence, the need for a thorough study of lawyers’ professional activities and the problems they face in their daily work appears. Also, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of whether the lawyers are satisfied with their work. Thus, the results of the author’s sociological study of the lawyers’ professional culture can be used to evaluate their satisfaction with the work they carry out.

According to the data presented in the article, the lawyers’ assessment of the degree of their satisfaction with their work in general is quite contradicting. More than half of the respondents consider themselves not quite satisfied with their jobs. The lawyers’ job satisfaction is significantly affected by their professional specialization, work experience, age, and gender. This is confirmed by the data presented in the article. The author emphasizes the need for further in-depth and comprehensive study of the problem under consideration using the resources of sociology.
Constitutional Law Basis of Parliamentary Law of Russia
Authors: Koshel A. S.
Published: February 2019

The article deals with the constitutional and legal basis for determining the system of parliamentary law: The subject matter, methods, and sources. It is stated that legal norms characterized by common features, internal unity and different from the norms of other branches of law form an independent branch (a sub-branch of constitutional) law. For now, the institutions of parliamentary law are studied within the framework of the theory of state and law, constitutional (state) law, and, to some extent, administrative law, and parliamentary procedural law is distinguished. In this regard, the article notes that the development of democracy and parliamentarism, the increasing importance of Parliament in the implementation of the principle of separation of powers always compels the legal doctrine to separate parliamentary law. The author substantiates the conclusion that constitutional law, as the leading branch of public law, regulates social relations that are usually called basic (constitutional) — or fundamental — in each area of life, while parliamentary law has theoretical and legal prerequisites for being separated into an independent branch (sub-branch of constitutional) law without violating the organic unity of constitutional law. Thus, the author believes that at the present level of democracy development it is possible to state the presence of prerequisites for the formation of a new branch (sub — branch) of law — parliamentary law.
"Ruling Machine" or Legalization of Technology
Authors: Isaev I. A.
Published: February 2019

The paper is devoted to complex and multifaceted relations arising in the field of public administration, the symbolic embodiment of which is the “ruling machine”. There is a long tradition based on the analogy between the machine mechanism and human social structures. Since the era of the absolutist states and the industrial revolution, these analogies have been transferred to a special social and organizational structure, which is “bureaucracy”. A special place is occupied by the technique of management, technology of domination and organizational and technical standards, which gives the bureaucracy an image of a technical structure rather than a human team. At the same time, the strict regulation of this structure, based on a system of norms, regulations and codifications, makes the bureaucratic structure permeable to the mechanisms of legal regulation. Historically, the “ruling machine” has demonstrated its adaptability to a variety of political, economic and legal contexts, demonstrating its technical “neutrality”.
Law in the Era of Revolutions: Patterns of Evolution and Development. The 100th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution
Authors: Nikulin V. V.
Published: February 2019

The paper deals with the process of changing the pre-revolutionary system of legal relations and institutions to a new legal order, the main purpose of which was to consolidate the new state of power established in Russia after October 1917. The main research task is to identify the fundamental, basic laws of the development of law in the period of revolutions based on the Russian experience.

It is emphasized that at the initial stage of the revolution the old legal forms were mixed with the new ones, the old law continued to exist in legal practice. Even in the face of radical changes, it is impossible to carry out transformations simultaneously and everywhere. For some time, there is a force of inertia, when the old statelegal forms continue to operate.

A number of basic conceptual provisions are substantiated. First, the legislation at the first stage of the revolution reflects the primary political aspirations of the authorities to consolidate and legitimize political success, therefore, it is characterized by the transience of adoption, does not have a system and consistency, and is intended mainly for the emergency bodies that implement it. Second, legal norms are class-based, characterized by class-based rigor and revolutionary expediency, synonymous with revolutionary legitimacy. Third, revolutionary expediency leads fatally to the excessive role and importance of emergency organs, leading to their arbitrary actions and massive abuse of the right to repression. Fourthly, the Soviet model of justice in determining its tasks, principles of judicial system and functioning, implementation of punitive policy corresponded to the model of the Soviet state. Its defining function in this model was the function of the implementation of political doctrine by legal means and the protective function of the system.

All phenomena in the legal sphere of Russia are considered in the period from October 1917 to the end of 1920.
A Comprehensive Diagnosis of Components of Pedagogical Students’ Research Competency
Authors: Andreeva O. S. , Selivanova O. A. , Vasilieva I. V.
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Nowadays, the aspects of development of research competencies in future experts belong to the most relevant topics, which are widely being discussed both in Russian and in foreign scientific community. One of burning issues in this thematic block is diagnosis of such competencies without which their successful development is impossible. Today, we are witnessing the disparity between a large number of the methods presented in scientific sources and technologies of the formation of students’ research competency and limitation of its criteria and indicators. Moreover, there is lack of adequate methodological tools to estimate objectively the level and quality of scientific literacy and degree of students’ research activity.

The aim of the research was to define the content of a comprehensive diagnosis of the components of pedagogical students’ research competency and to justify the criteria, indicators and methods of its evaluation.

Methodology and research methods. The methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation and modelling were employed. The systematic approach was applied, taking into account the provisions of plurality, integrity and structurisation.

Results and scientific novelty. The authors presented and described the model of formation of pedagogical students’ practice-focused research competency. The knowledge-based, value-oriented and practical components of the model are correlated to the methods of psycho-pedagogical monitoring, which are relevant to the content of these components. The complex of particular techniques for comprehensive, precise and complete assessment of future teachers’ research competency is designed. The complexity of measurement tools is provided with homogeneity between a theoretical construct (research competency) and operationalised constructs (psychological phenomena estimated in diagnostic techniques). Cumulative application of the selected diagnostic procedures and techniques allows: objective and subjective indicators of formation of research abilities and skills to be compared; motivation and readiness of students for implementation of independent research activity to be defined, taking into account social and professional contexts of its realisation.

Practical significance. The authors of the present publication propose to introduce into practice of the higher school the approaches to contents, structure and organisation of the psychological diagnostics of level of students’ research competency, which will give the chance not only to carry out the internal regular and continuous monitoring of formation of one of key characteristics of the identity of the modern expert in educational institutions, but also to optimise the process of multilevel high school preparation, having adjusted work on early identification of its problems and crisis stages to take timely effective correctional measures.
A rare case of pregnancy in the rudimentary horn of unicornuate uterus (on table diagnosis): a case report
Authors: Kumari Suman , Gupta Pratiksha , . Jyoti , Sharma Pooja
Published: February 2019

A rudimentary horn with a unicornuate uterus results due to failure of the complete development of one of the Mullerian ducts and incomplete fusion with the contralateral side. Pregnancy in non-communicating rudimentary horn of unicornuate uterus is a rare form of ectopic gestation and it carries grave consequences for mother and the fetus. The most dreaded complication is rupture during pregnancy which can be life threatening to the mother. The continuation of pregnancy is rare till 3rd trimester and usually ruptures in 2nd trimester. The primary strategy of the management is surgical excision of the rudimentary horn. Here is a case of 24year old, gravida1 with unruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy at gestational age 28 weeks diagnosed on table. IOL (induction of labour) was done with misoprostol for fetal demise and later cesarean section done in view of failed induction. Laparotomy was done and dead fetus with placenta delivered followed by excision of the rudimentary horn. The post-operative period was uneventful. This highlights the need   of an increased awareness of this condition especially in developing countries where most pregnancy are unbooked and uninvestigated as in present case.

Background: Extensive studies are conducted on heart, liver and endocrine abnormalities in thalassemia owing to their direct effect on survival, however, lung dysfunction has never been focused upon and is one of the least understood complications in β thalassemia. There’s a vacuum for data on pulmonary function tests in β thalassemia major in literature from India. Authors aimed to study pulmonary function and type of abnormality in cases with β thalassemia major above the age of 8yrs and to correlate the result with age and serum ferritin levels.Methods: Demographic data, hemoglobin value, serum ferritin levels, chelation details and transfusion requirement were analyzed. Spirometry was performed using COSMED pulmonary function test (PFT).Results: Among the 34 subjects studied, 21 were boys, and 13 were girls. Mean serum ferritin levels of the group was 3610.82±2679.51ng/mL and did not show a significant correlation with age, years of transfusion, and years of chelation. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1) % values were lower in boys when compared to girls. PFT showed a restrictive pattern in the study group (FEV1/FVC=>0.7) with significant involvement in 73.5% of cases (FEV1<80%). A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between age and FEV1% (r=-0.577, p=<0.01) highlighting the importance of duration of iron overload. However, there was no significant linear correlation between restrictive lung disease and serum ferritin level (r=-0.06, p=0.75).Conclusions: Restrictive pattern was the most common abnormality, and it did not correlate with serum ferritin. Pulmonary function monitoring would help in identifying children with significant morbidity and help in initiating an early intervention to improve the quality of life.

A utilização de materiais didáticos inovadores tem adentrado cada vez mais no âmbito do ensino, visto a necessidade de incentivar o processo de construção do conhecimento e a aprendizagem significativa. O objetivo do estudo foi relatar a eficácia da utilização de maquetes como ferramenta metodológica nas aulas práticas do Componente Curricular de Microbiologia em um Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem. Participaram dessa atividade um total de 38 discentes, além de dois monitores e um docente, os quais acompanharam o processo criativo e orientaram as etapas de desenvolvimento do trabalho: divisão dos temas, confecção das maquetes e apresentação final da atividade. Para a confecção das maquetes foram utilizados materiais recicláveis e de fácil aquisição, representando diferentes microorganismos, como: fungos, bactérias e vírus. A experiência possibilitou participação ativa dos alunos e dos monitores, além da demonstração de criatividade e desempenho crítico satisfatório nas apresentações das maquetes. Nesse aspecto, a utilização de maquetes como ferramenta na educação interativa mostrou-se um mecanismo eficaz no aprendizado da microbiologia, por propiciar a visualização da morfologia dos microorganismos de uma maneira diferenciada.
O Estudante-monitor e suas percepções da Monitoria de Ensino na disciplina Parasitologia

A Reforma Universitária Brasileira instituiu os Programas de Monitoria e a função de monitor através da Lei nº 5.540/68. Desde então a função de monitor sofreu diversas alterações por meio dos Decretos nº 64.086/69; 66.315/70; 68.771/71; 85.862/81 e Lei 9.394/96. Discutir a monitoria de ensino nos cursos de saúde, é salutar pois, ela auxilia na formação dos profissionais desta área. Este trabalho refletiu a monitoria de ensino a partir das concepções dos estudantes que desempenham esse trabalho nas disciplinas Parasitologia Humana e Clínica, ofertados aos alunos dos cursos de farmácia, nutrição e enfermagem do Departamento de Ciências da Vida-UNEB. Participaram da pesquisa seis monitores que atuaram na monitoria entre 2015.2-2018.1. Na coleta de dados utilizou-se a ferramenta Google Forms para a criação e envio do Termo Livre Esclarecido e um questionário online, que foi respondido pelo monitor. Procedeu-se a análise estatística descritiva, a análise do conteúdo e uma análise heurística com elaboração de nuvens de palavras. Os estudantes-monitores significaram a monitoria de ensino, o papel do professor e do monitor de maneira muito próxima ao paradigma atual, embora, haja elementos ausentes e estabeleça entre eles uma relação hierarquizada. Definiram a monitoria de ensino como uma modalidade em que o monitor contribui com o ensino-aprendizagem, auxiliando o professor, ajudando os colegas; sentiram-se realizados com o seu trabalho, esperavam serem mais solicitados pelos alunos da turma, porém desenvolveram aspectos correlacionados à autonomia, autoavaliação, experimentaram a prática docente, aprofundaram os conteúdos e vivenciaram novas relações com o professor e como os alunos

O preparado de raízes finas noduladas de feijão-caupi é uma alternativa de inoculação com estirpes que realizam a fixação biológica de nitrogênio de comunidade microbiana localmente adaptada às condições de clima e solos, bem como, às variedades locais. Esse trabalho avaliou o efeito da inoculação a partir de um preparado de raízes finas sobre o crescimento vegetativo do feijão-caupi, em comparação a inoculação comercial, adubação com ureia e suas combinações. O delineamento usado foi inteiramente ao acaso com quatro repetições e os seguintes tratamentos: T1- Testemunha (sem inoculação e adubação nitrogenada); T2- Inóculo com raízes; T3- Inóculo comercial; T4- Inóculo com raízes + adubação nitrogenada em cobertura; T5- Inóculo comercial + adubação nitrogenada em cobertura e T6- Adubação nitrogenada em cobertura. O tratamento inóculo com raízes + adubação nitrogenada em cobertura (T4) proporcionou maior comprimento radicular (57,25 cm) comparado ao tratamento com adubação nitrogenada em cobertura (T6) com42,00 cm. Para o número de nódulos aos 48 DAE, verificou-se que a inoculação com raízes (T2) foi superior a testemunha (T1) e a adubação nitrogenada em cobertura (T6). Os menores valores para o índice SPAD ocorreram na testemunha (40,25 g kg-1) e na adubação com ureia em cobertura (40,55 g kg-1). O tratamento com adubação nitrogenada em cobertura (20 kg ha-1 de ureia) implicou em menor crescimento da raiz e da parte aérea, número de nódulos, massa seca da parte da planta e índice SPAD. O uso da inoculação com raízes é uma alternativa viável para o agricultor familiar e produtores de base agroecológica, porém precisa ser avaliada em campo.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a possibilidade do uso do ácido undecilênico, extraído a partir do óleo de mamona (Ricinus communis), como antisséptico em cães (Canis lupus familiaris). Para tanto, foi utilizado um protótipo de esteira, fabricada com a resina da mamona, coberta com tapete adesivo impregnado com o ácido, sobre o qual os animais do estudo caminhavam. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com 54 cães e as amostras dos suabes dos coxins foram coletadas dos membros anteriores direito (controle) e esquerdo (teste), sendo que as amostras controle e teste foram colhidas, respectivamente, antes e depois da utilização da esteira. Após a coleta, os suabes eram acondicionados em caixas isotérmicas com gelo reciclável e encaminhados para processamento no Laboratório de Microbiologia Veterinária. Após período de incubação a 37ºC por 24 à 48h foi realizada a contagem individual de cada placa em UFC/ml, os resultados foram obtidos a partir das médias das duplicatas para cada diluição. Dos 54 animais, 81,48% apresentaram redução da população microbiana, 14,81% apresentaram ausência de variação da população microbiana e 3,70% apresentaram aumento da população microbiana. Considerando-se apenas os resultados viáveis observou que 95,65% apresentaram redução da população microbiana, portanto pode-se concluir que o ácido undecilênico possui ação antisséptica, reduzindo consideravelmente a população de micro-organismos presentes nos coxins dos cães.
