Chronotopic Metamorphoses in Béla Bartók’s Minor Seconds, Major Sevenths
Authors:   The State Musical Pedagogical Institute named after M.M.Ippolitov-Ivanov, Astakhova Olga A.
Published: December 2023

Despite time and space are inseparable in music, they are sometimes explored separately. The term ‘chronotope’ unites both categories and has found an extensive use in musicology. However, musicologists use the term to denote quite different concepts. The article proposes a new definition of ‘сhronotope’. It draws on the framework and aims of the suggested method of сhronotopic analysis of piano music. Together with the semantic analysis, this method ensures in-depth comprehension of all the elements of musical fabric and its semantic and emotional ‘vibrations’. This approach has proved effective to study both classical music and music of later eras. The article reports the results of the application of the analytical method to explore B. Bartók’s Minor Seconds, Major Sevenths, for piano (Mikrokosmos Vol. 6/144). On the one hand, Bartók’s piano work exemplifies all kinds of changes in temporal and spatial structure of the chronotope, with the spatial structure taking the lead. Not all the changes (metamorphoses) are noticeable at first glance. On the other hand, Minor Seconds, Major Sevenths develops as a dialogue of intervals, i.e., their relations and transformations. It is filled with micro-meanings and may be referred to as an interval-based dramaturgy of the composition. This is characteristic of Bartók’s creative method. He was extremely careful about the sound material and tended to explore its small structural units.
Antonio Vivaldi’s Group of Concerts The Four Seasons: From Baroque Synthesis of Arts to New 20th-Century Forms of Artistic Synthesis
Authors:   The State Musical Pedagogical Institute named after M.M.Ippolitov-Ivanov, Gorshchuk Aleksandra A.
Published: December 2023

The article examines Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons concerts from the perspective of baroque culture. We believe that baroque culture reflects the key general cultural trends characteristic of this era, in particular, such issues as time and the synthesis of arts. These trends manifest themselves in The Four Seasons . The topic of changing seasons is generally very interesting in terms of its choreographic production.The article discusses two choreographic productions based on the music from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons : the ballet by Roland Petit (captured on video in 1984) and the screen ballet by James Kudelka (2003). Petit's concept evolves around the idea of eternal repetition. He focuses on the general and the objective, which is in line with the artistic principles of neoclassicism. This becomes manifest in the objectivity of statements and the preference for crowd scenes. The representation of concerts is suite-based with no continuous development between them. Petit's concept tends towards the epic genus. The ballet is not devoid of certain symmetry due to the repetition of two parts of the concert Spring after the end of Winter. Thus, Petit’s production views time as cyclical, while the correlation between music and choreography indicates a parallelism of texts rather than their synthesis. The ballet by J. Kudelka is the drama of an individual human life. Here, the artistic time resembles a vector, it is irreversible, which is typical of drama. This is achieved by the acceleration of movement towards the end of the production with the pantomime gradually replacing the dance. The title The Four Seasons allows two possible interpretations and in Kudelka’s case the allegorical one comes to the fore. His concept is the life course of a person from birth to death. The ballet does not reveal a parallelism between music and dance, on the opposite, it is a synthesis of texts, an intertext.

Published: December 2023

To address the national need to diversify the geosciences, we created the cohort-based Environmental Science Pathways Scholars Program, or E(SP)2, for undergraduates in the Environmental Science Department at Barnard College who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), first generation, or low income. By fostering a more inclusive community in the particularly formative stages of academic and early professional development, E(SP)2 aims to support and retain a diverse cohort of students who have developed confidence in their scientific skills and identities, and who share a passion for environmental science. E(SP)2 is modeled on the Science Pathways Scholar Program [(SP)2] at Barnard College, an active and successful multidisciplinary opportunity at Barnard College.

Creating Pathways for Nontraditional Graduate Students
Authors:   NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, Woodworth-Jefcoats Phoebe , Jahnke Mackenzie , Howell Evan , Kobayashi Donald , Miller Chad , Nichols Ryan , Onuma Megan
Published: December 2023

As past and present nontraditional students, our group of authors experienced firsthand a range of hurdles in our pursuit of ocean science graduate studies. Some of us attended graduate school while working full time in our fields as a means to advance our careers. Others returned to graduate school to pursue a second career in a new field. Combining our experiences with broader demographic information (Wendler et al., 2010) led us to define nontraditional ocean science graduate students as any of the following: mid-career professionals pursuing graduate degrees for career advancement and those who are embarking on a second career, hold an undergraduate degree outside of STEM, are in their thirties or older, or are balancing school with work and/or family responsibilities. While we highlight these characteristics, we recognize that there are others who self-identify as nontraditional, such as those facing a serious medical condition or disability. We hope that by sharing ways to remove barriers to entry, retention, and advancement for nontraditional students, our field will become more inclusive, equitable, and diverse.

The Challenger Society for Marine Science (CSMS) is the learned society for marine scientists based in the United Kingdom, with a membership of over 470 people from >100 institutions, across all academic career stages. Members of the CSMS have been interested in improving the representation of a diverse range of identities in UK marine science, largely driven by their own experiences of inequity in the discipline, such as the challenges faced by women (Hendry et al., 2020). The structural exclusion of individuals by race, sex, ethnicity, social class, disability, sexuality, and the compound sum of these factors can result in a lack of diversity during recruitment and poor retention. Since 2021, CSMS has formed the first UK-wide equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) working group for marine scientists, with the aim of coordinating action to address the causes of exclusion and to improve representation across the discipline. The group of 25 volunteers meets each month to discuss a topical agenda, and the chair of the working group sits on the council of CSMS, providing EDIA input from the working group on society-wide strategic decisions.
The Culture of Science in Academia Is Overdue for Change
Authors:   University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Burns John , Kapono Clifford , Pascoe Kailey , Kane Haunani
Published: December 2023

Academic science is becoming increasingly recognized for fostering a toxic workplace culture. A growing number of studies show that hierarchical structure, intense competition, excessive workload expectations, and lack of adequate financial support create an unhealthy work environment (Stephan, 2012; Callier and Vanderford, 2014; Hall, 2023). Science in academia is flooded with underpaid and underappreciated students and postdocs, and sadly, academic institutions are not adequately addressing the urgent need to fix this unsustainable structure (Stephan, 2012; Callier and Vanderford, 2014). This article is our plea to academic science: it is time to change the culture of our workplace and better support the next generation of scientists.
Ocean Discovery Institute’s Model for Empowering Underrepresented Students in STEM: Community-Based, Continuous Belief
Authors:   Ocean Discovery Institute, Barkan Joel , John Jasmin , Drenkard Elizabeth , Talley Drew
Published: December 2023

Across the United States, there is increasing concern about the poor performance of American students in science and our country’s position as a world leader in innovation (National Science Board, 2022). Furthermore, young people are inequitably prepared to fulfill our nation's workforce needs as educational resources and achievement disparities are magnified in youth from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds who live in poverty (National Science Board, 2022). Science test scores for students of color who reside in low socioeconomic status communities lag far behind those of Caucasian students and students from more affluent areas (Irwin et al., 2022). These students are also less likely to pursue the higher education necessary for science- and technology-based careers (Fry et al., 2021). As a result, the United States’ scientific workforce does not reflect the population of the nation as a whole; for example, Hispanic individuals represent 18.9% of the US population, but only 8% of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (Fry et al., 2021). The Ocean Discovery Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1999 to address this problem. Here, we describe Ocean Discovery’s unique model for empowering underrepresented students. It includes (1) embedding students within the community served, (2) reaching all students in a single cluster of schools (a “school-shed”), and (3) a program structure that emphasizes science identity (“belief”) and reinforces it through intentional mentorship.
The ASLO Multicultural Program Pioneers Diversity Efforts in the Aquatic Sciences
Authors:   Hampton University, Cuker Benjamin , Davis Jeanette
Published: December 2023

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography Multicultural Program (ASLOMP) began in 1990 as an effort to diversify participation in the aquatic sciences, with particular emphasis on increasing the number of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) in the field (Cuker, 2001, 2005, 2007). It was evident to anyone attending an ASLO meeting, or that of any other aquatic scientific society in the 1980s that BIPOC were essentially absent. The ranks of related academicians, agency workers, and students mirrored that absence of diversity. This was consistent with data gathered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicating that only 3% of doctorates earned in 1990 in the Earth, atmospheric, and ocean sciences were earned by underrepresented minorities (NSF, 1994). Acting on this information, the ASLO leadership constructed a program that would bring diverse students interested in the aquatic sciences to its annual meetings for special programming aimed at recruiting and retaining BIPOC in the aquatic and allied sciences and applied to NSF for funding.

Published: December 2023

Sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) in STEM is a well-documented problem, particularly in academic and fieldwork settings (NASEM, 2018; Kelly and Yarincik, 2021; Ackerman et al., 2023). Historically marginalized groups in STEM (i.e., white women; Black, Indigenous, and other people of color; LGBTQ+ individuals) are particularly vulnerable to SASH due to underrepresentation and persistent, long-standing cultural norms shaped by dominant male and white identities. For individuals who hold multiple marginalized identities, the risks and impacts are compounded (Cech, 2022). SASH results in negative impacts to individual mental health and physical safety, productivity, and employee retention, and represents a barrier to entry, retention, advancement, and success of a diverse STEM workforce. To address this, culture change within STEM, the process of shifting organizational norms to promote improved employee wellness, inclusion, and productivity, is needed.

Published: December 2023

The Louisiana State University College of the Coast & Environment (LSU CC&E) developed a multi-faceted strategic initiative to increase its diversity, equity, and inclusion. Elements of this initiative began one-by-one over the last decade and were aggregated into a comprehensive implementation plan—the 2020 CC&E Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Action Plan. Based on best practices in the “physical sciences” (i.e., geosciences, including oceanography), the plan aims to augment recruitment and retention using limited resources and personnel. The long-range goal is to increase the number of PhD graduates from underrepresented groups by employing strategies that start at the 6–12th grade level. The plan involves a change in culture, clear communications about needs and goals, and active participation and engagement of CC&E faculty, students, staff, supporters, and partners. This plan is increasing the diversity of enrollment in our academic programs and will ultimately lead to more students with both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Published: December 2023

Objective To analyze the evidence of the Indicator of Quality in Nutritional Therapy “prescribed versus infused volume in nutritional therapy” in hospitalized adult cancer patients and the prospects for nursing practice. Methods An integrative review conducted in the Portal Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Nursing Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Google Scholar, Latin America and the Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, U.S. National Library of Medicine, SciVerse Scopus Web of Science. This research included studies published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish from 2008 to 2021. Results Of the nine studies included most of the authors were nutritionists and/or nutrition academics (53.8%), followed by nurses and/or nursing academics (30.8%). Most studies (67%) did not reach the indicator target, being investigated in clinical and/or surgical wards (27.3%) and adult/general Intensive Care Units (27.3%). The reasons for not meeting the indicator goal were related to clinical and mechanical complications of the use of nutritional therapy. Conclusion The goal of the indicator in “nutritional therapy prescribed versus infused volume” was not achieved in most studies, and the adult cancer patient presents clinical difficulties in achieving it.

Authors:   The Korean Society for Veterinary Nursing, Hong Jun Sung , Bae Il Kwon
Published: December 2023

The problem of antimicrobial resistance genes and antimicrobial resistant bacteria is a very serious problem throughout the world. Korea has recognized the importance of antimicrobial resistant pathogen and has been making efforts to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance for a long time. However, the problem of antimicrobial resistance has not yet been solved. A total of 58 filter samples were collected from 14 hospitals, 32 nurseries, and 6 out of doors during January and May 2017. For detection of class A, C, and D β-lactamase genes, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines, polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were performed. Among the 58 samples, 17 isolates (78.8%) showed positive results in the PCR test, but none of the samples showed positive for aminoglycoside and fluoroquinolone gene detection primers. Therefore, this study makes us realize that we need to protect the people and animal health by monitoring antimicrobial resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistant genes in the indoor and outdoor air.

This paper presents a comparison of two models for an impact with a projectile 9 mm FMJ (full metal jacket), having 373 m/s on stratified composites, at meso level. The models contain yarn with the geometry similar to the actual yarns of glass fibers, used in an experimental test. The yarns’ orientation is a repeated (0°/90°). The model includs 8 layers of yarns. One model is done including only friction among yarns and between yarn and projectile and the second model introduces both friction and delamination properties (as in the coehesive zone model). The paper reports the differences between the two simulations with the same geometry of the models and the same constitutive material models for yarn and projectile materials, but one with conditioned bonds as in the cohesive zone models. Applying the cohesive zone model (CZM) with zero thickness makes the impact to have a more localized action, reduce bending of the broken yarns. The models are compared to an actual panel made of stratified layers of glass fibers with similar properties of the yarns and the simulation with cohesive zone model gives a closer aspect of the failure as compared to the actual one.

The influence of phase transformations on the actuation capacity of microlayered architectures based on shape memory alloys is presented based on models developed based on the analysis of the phase transformations in each layer and on their contribution to the stress in the fil-substrate architecture. The analysis of the phenomena associated with the martensitic transformation allows the selection of the alloy composition to obtain a tuneable actuation in the desired temperature range as well as the profile of this operation based on the type of substrate used and its geometry as well as the fabrication parameters. The prediction of a microactuation profile is described for bimorph architectures with a film consisting of one or more shape memory alloy layers
VGI: smart grid integration of electric vehicles
Authors:   Technical Sciences Academy of Romania, MARINESCU ANDREI , GOLOVANOV NICOLAE ,   Technical Sciences Academy of Romania
Published: December 2023

The integration of electrified vehicles (EVs) of any kind (electric or hybrid) into the power grid (VGI) has become necessary with the significant increase in the number of such vehicles. The charging of their batteries in the smart grid becomes “smart charging” where the charging level and charging duration are controlled by the grid operator so as not to affect the grid’s operational reliability. VGI now combines battery charging (G2V) with the bi-directional transfer of electricity stored in the EV battery, known generically as (V2G). VGI is rapidly gaining popularity because it offers both the EV owner / the company with a fleet of commercial EVs and the grid the possibility to use the energy stored in the EV battery for other purposes when the EV is not in use. This paper is an introduction to the analysis of the VGI system with direct application in the private and industrial economy.

In the field of road vehicles, the merging of mechanical assemblies and electronic computing architecture has become indispensable. In the present paper, a thorough study of the braking performance of heavy goods vehicles is presented. Operating conditions and other influencing factors during use create multiple combinations that influence the behavior and performance of braking systems in different ways. However, for such a speed of development, the dedicated means of research become insufficient, thus new study methods are needed to guarantee complex results with a minimum of consumed resources. Such a variant of the study is also addressed in this paper, where the results are obtained based on multiple simulations, carried out simultaneously, but in a much shorter time than in the experimental cases and with a large volume of data.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: O método clínico centrado na pessoa (MCCP) tem como objetivo proporcionar um atendimento humanizado e centrado no paciente. A aplicação do MCCP melhora a relação médico-paciente e tem impacto no desfecho clínico. No entanto, há desafios e realizar uma consulta centrada no paciente pode ter barreiras relacionadas com fatores que vão desde a aplicação da técnica até limitações por conta do contexto clínico. Diante da relevância do MCCP na prática clínica e do crescente estímulo para o ensino desse método, torna-se indispensável medir a autoavaliação dos médicos com relação à prática de um atendimento centrado na pessoa. Com isso é possível desenvolver estratégias pedagógicas mais adaptadas às dificuldades apontadas, especialmente para residentes de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (MFC). Objetivo: Adaptar culturalmente e validar a versão brasileira do questionário “Autopercepção do Desempenho da Medicina Centrada na Pessoa em Medicina Geral e Familiar”. Métodos: O questionário é composto de 22 questões autorreflexivas relacionadas ao uso do MCCP pelos profissionais. Inicialmente foi realizada a adaptação cultural do questionário para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil e então foi realizada a aplicação em médicos residentes de MFC, recrutados pelo método de amostragem “bola de neve”, que aplica cadeias de referência para o recrutamento. A coleta de dados foi on-line, tendo sido analisados médias, desvio padrão, análise de conteúdo, análise fatorial exploratória e alfa de Cronbach. Consideramos significativos valores-p menores ou iguais que 0,05 e cargas fatoriais superiores a 0,3. Resultados: O questionário foi respondido por 76 médicos residentes de MFC, 50% do primeiro e 50% do segundo ano. A análise fatorial sugeriu que o questionário possui um componente, todas as questões foram mantidas por alcançarem cargas fatoriais maiores que 0,3. A confiabilidade por meio do valor alfa de Cronbach do questionário foi de 0,913. Os itens em que os médicos residentes demonstraram maior dificuldade foram aqueles relacionados à perspectiva dos pacientes e as suas expectativas. Conclusões: A versão adaptada do português para o Brasil teve boa validade, apresentou número de dimensão diferente da escala original, mas teve uma alta confiabilidade. Assim, podemos recomendar o uso da escala, que apresenta inicialmente valores psicométricos adequados para uma dimensão. Este é um estudo inicial, todos os itens apresentaram boa compreensão segundo os participantes, no entanto outros estudos são necessários para confirmar a dimensionalidade da escala para o Brasil.

Published: December 2023

Die Forschung zu internationalen Normdynamiken steht vor der Herausforderung, die Interpretationen von vielen verschiedenen Akteuren analytisch zu erfassen, um die Komplexität, Pluralität und auch den Wandel von Perspektiven in der globalen Politik darstellen zu können. Neuere Verfahren der quantitativen, computergestützten Textanalyse ermöglichen es, die Inhalte großer Textkorpora und damit viele Fälle parallel auszuwerten. Unser Papier stellt einen innovativen Ansatz vor, um eine Methode der quantitativen Textanalyse für die Normenforschung nutzbar zu machen. Unsupervised topic modeling ist eine induktiv-explorative Methode zum Auffinden von Mustern im Diskurs. Sie scheint uns besonders nützlich für Forschung zu Normübersetzung, bei der die Offenheit, die Fluidität und der Wandel von Normen im Mittelpunkt stehen. Am Beispiel der globalen Klimapolitik illustriert dieser Beitrag, wie die im internationalen Regime institutionalisierten Normen durch Mitgliedstaaten übersetzt werden. Wir diskutieren das Potenzial unseres Ansatzes und reflektieren auch die damit einhergehenden Herausforderungen.
Geschlechtsspezifische Ausgrenzung, Krieg und Frieden in Sierra Leone: eine feministische Perspektive auf Gewalt und Ordnung
Authors: Rinck Patricia
Published: December 2023

Der Artikel bietet einen feministischen Beitrag zu Gewalt und Ordnung in patriarchalischen Gesellschaften und problematisiert, dass geschlechtsunsensible Analysen wichtige Formen von Gewalt übersehen und somit sowohl Ursachen als auch Dynamiken bewaffneter Konflikte nicht vollständig verstehen. Am Beispiel des Konflikts und des Peacebuildings in Sierra Leone zeige ich den Nutzen einer feministischen Perspektive auf Gewalt auf, die durch das Nachverfolgen verschiedener Formen von Gewalt im Laufe der Zeit – vor, während und nach dem Krieg (1991-2002) – Kontinuitäten geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt in der patriarchalen und gerontokratischen Geschlechterordnung sichtbar macht. So zeigt sich, dass die geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt der Vorkriegsordnung eine wichtige Konfliktursache war und dass – trotz deutlicher Hinweise auf diesen Zusammenhang – die strukturellen Ursachen dieser Gewalt nach dem Krieg nicht angemessen angegangen wurden. Trotz aller friedensfördernden Maßnahmen zum Aufbau einer friedlicheren Nachkriegsordnung wurde ein hochgradig exklusives System wiederhergestellt, in dem bestimmte Formen von Gewalt in Zeiten einer vermeintlich ‚friedlichen‘ Ordnung als gegeben normalisiert werden.
»Wenn einer gut erklärt, man versteht doch« – Die Relevanz von Erklärungen für sprachliche und mathematische Lernprozesse im Mathematikunterricht aus Perspektive neu zugewanderter Schüler*innen

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Perspektiven neu zugewanderter Schüler*innen auf Lehr-Lernprozesse im Mathematikunterricht von Internationalen Vorbereitungsklassen. Dazu wurden leitfadengestützte Interviews mit 13 Schüler*innen geführt und in Anlehnung an die Grounded Theory Methodolgy (Strauss/Corbin 2003) ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf die hohe Relevanz, die Schüler*innen den Erklärungen ihrer Lehrkräfte für Wissenstransfer, Schulerfolg und positive Einstellungen für das Fach Mathematik zuweisen. Außerdem erweisen sich Schüler als motiviert bei der Gestaltung ihrer Lernprozesse und fordern Erklärungen ein. Als Herausforderung nehmen alle interviewten Schüler*innen sprachliche Barrieren wahr, da Textaufgaben und Unterrichtsdiskurse zumeist auf Deutsch ausgestaltet sind, was das Durchdringen und Lösen von mathematischen Problemen erschwert. Allerdings haben sie positive Einstellungen gegenüber ihren Lehrkräften und beschreiben, inwiefern diese sie dabei unterstützen, sprachliche Hürden zu überwinden. Weiterführende Forschung, welche anhand von Videoaufnahmen die Art und Weise wie Lehrkräfte in sprachlich und mathematisch diversen Lerngruppen Erklärungen realisieren und inwiefern die Schüler*innen am Unterrichtsdiskurs teilhaben (können), wären wünschenswert, um das Phänomen der Relevanz von Erklärungen theoretisch genauer beschreiben zu können.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung älterer Geflüchteter in Deutschland – Die unterschiedliche Versorgung von Asylbewerber*innen und geflüchteten Ukrainer*innen
Authors: Blümlein Anja
Published: December 2023

Die erhöhte Ankunft von flüchtenden Menschen aus der Ukraine im Jahr 2022 hat das deutsche Aufnahmesystem erneut auf die Probe gestellt. Bedeutend ist hierbei vor allem die Tatsache, dass die Gruppe der ukrainischen Geflüchteten, die seit Anfang des Jahres aus ihrer Heimat fliehen, in Deutschland Leistungen nach den Vorgaben des Sozialgesetzbuches (SGB) beziehen. Asylbewerber*innen, die in Deutschland Asyl beantragen, werden nach den Vorgaben des Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz (AsylbLG) versorgt, welches in den ersten 18 Monaten nur eine eingeschränkte Versorgung garantiert. Diese unterschiedliche Versorgungsgrundlage in den ersten Monaten nach der Ankunft betrifft unter anderem auch die medizinische Versorgung. Um einen Überblick zur Qualität der Gesundheitsversorgung besonders älterer Geflüchteter in Deutschland zu geben sowie die Unterschiede bei der Behandlung der unterschiedlichen Gruppen der Geflüchteten herauszukristallisieren, wurden Interviews mit Betreuenden, Ärzt*innen und ehrenamtlichen Organisationen durchgeführt. Ein Großteil der Befragten gab an, dass ein Unterschied bei der Versorgung von Menschen im laufenden Asylverfahren und den ukrainischen Geflüchteten bestehe. Besonders bei der Behandlung chronischer Krankheiten ist dies von Relevanz. Das Gros der Befragten äußerte die Meinung, dass nicht den Ukrainer*innen zu viel, sondern den übrigen Asylbewerber*innen zu wenig geholfen werde.
Die Verbesserung der 24-Stunden-Betreuung als Beitrag zur Gesundheit und zum Gemeinwohl
Authors: Schaffhauser-Linzatti Michaela
Published: December 2023

Die Betreuung älterer Menschen zu Hause ist auch eine gemeinwirtschaftliche Aufgabe. Um den steigenden Bedarf bei sinkenden Ressourcen abzudecken, muss die öffentliche Hand die bestehenden Arbeitsbedingungen der Betreuungskräfte anpassen. Aus der Sicht der Betreuungskräfte bedeutet dies, beispielhaft für Österreich, u.a. vergleichbare Qualitäts- und Leistungsstandards, verbesserte Kontrollmechanismen, Standardverträge, Bürokratieabbau, Wertschätzung, Verbesserung der vielsprachigen Kommunikation, höhere Bezahlung und Reduktion von Steuern und Abgaben. Alternativ zu Agenturen wird eine gemeinwohlorientierte Vermittlungsplattform zwischen Pflegekräften und -familien empfohlen.
Heart Preservation Techniques for Transplantation

Published: December 2023

Heart transplant remains the gold standard of end-stage heart failure treatment. The number of heart transplants performed each year has increased and the number of recipient candidates has been increasing even more. As a result, recipients are now matched with donors over longer distances with increasing organ ischemic time. Organ preservation strategies have been evolving to minimize ischemia reperfusion injury following longer ischemic times. This chapter will include updated organ donation and preservation techniques for heart transplant including organ donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD). The expansion of cardiac donation after circulatory death (DCD) and new techniques for heart preservation may increase the use of hearts from extended criteria donors and thus expand the heart donor pool.

Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by dry eyes, dry mouth and musculoskeletal involvement. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, peritonitis, synovitis, pleuritis, and erysipelas-like skin lesions. An increased prevalence of systemic autoimmune diseases has been reported in FMF. There are a lot of cases about coexistence of FMFankylosing spondylitis, vasculitis, Behcet’s disease and others. In this article we present a rare combination of FMF and Sjogren’s syndrome.
Experiencia de compromiso social estudiantil con recuperadores urbanos de Córdoba. Algunas reflexiones
Authors: Peretti María Florencia , Amato Celina Noé , Buraschi Mónica , González Sofía D.
Published: December 2023

El trabajo analiza un proyecto extensionista desarrollado por docentes, investigadoras y estudiantes de las facultades de Ciencias Económicas y de Derecho de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), Argentina. A partir del relato de la experiencia se pretende reflexionar sobre los conceptos de extensión universitaria, responsabilidad social universitaria y aprendizaje como servicio en la práctica.

El proyecto surgió como respuesta a la demanda concreta de una cooperativa de reciclaje de la ciudad de Córdoba. Dicha cooperativa procuraba evidenciar su condición de inequidad en la cadena de valor de los materiales reciclables para mejorar su capacidad de negociación y, al mismo tiempo, visibilizar el rol de los recuperadores urbanos hacia la comunidad.

El desarrollo de la experiencia facilitó la construcción colectiva de conocimiento a partir del intercambio de saberes de manera directa entre agentes de la universidad y los actores sociales. La tarea fue llevada a cabo por estudiantes bajo la coordinación de docentes e investigadoras de la UNC a fin de promover y desarrollar prácticas extensionistas que los involucren en asuntos sociales de su comunidad. La experiencia de aprendizaje-servicio desarrollada contribuyó con la misión extensionista de la universidad y puede ser enmarcada además como una práctica de responsabilidad social universitaria.
Procesos comunitarios integrales para contribuir con el derecho a la alimentación en Canelones, Uruguay, 2020-2022
Authors: Muniz Medina Florencia Natacha , Cauci Adriana
Published: December 2023

En el marco de la pandemia de Covid-19, el derecho humano a la alimentación adecuada (DHAA) se vio afectado en grupos de población vulnerable debido a la pérdida de fuentes de ingreso y variaciones del poder adquisitivo, afectando la calidad y cantidad de alimentos para el consumo. El presente trabajo busca dar cuenta de cómo la integralidad de funciones universitarias contribuye con los procesos comunitarios vinculados al DHAA y busca reflexionar sobre los aportes significativos para el accionar docente y la formación de estudiantes de la licenciatura en Nutrición, en el campo de la nutrición poblacional. Se desarrollan los dispositivos integrales de trabajo, iniciando con un proceso de extensión universitaria en el marco de una política pública, se introduce sobre un curso optativo interdisciplinario y por último se aborda el proceso de las prácticas de grado de estudiantes de nutrición. Dadas las características propias de cada dispositivo, se desarrollaron aprendizajes diversos relacionados con el diálogo de saberes y la retroalimentación entre la teoría y la práctica. A través de recursos docentes y estudiantiles se contribuyó con dar impulso a procesos y acciones colectivas, que en contexto de crisis buscaron alternativas con un abordaje interdisciplinario, interinstitucional, intersectorial e intersocial de las problemáticas sociales para garantizar el DHAA desde una perspectiva de soberanía alimentaria.
