Authors: Ospina Rave Beatriz Elena , Toro Ocampo Jorge Arbey , Aristizábal Botero Carlos Andrés
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe the teacher´s role in the research and teaching-learning process among undergraduate nursing students at the University of Antioquia. Methodology: a qualitative study was carried out with an ethnographic focused approach, through two basic inputs: documentary subject related sources and testimonials from two teachers and six students achieved through observation and interviews. The research and teaching-learning process in the school of nursing was captured in detail. Results and Discussion: it was found that when the teachers’ explanations were through and comprehensive the students had more and better information enabling them to acquire skills in project implementation. On the contrary passive attitudes led to lesser participation. The teachers´ role based in his professional expertise promoted interest in research among the students. Conclusion: always a definite didactic strategy favours the acquisition of information and content but not of learning. Recommendations: innovative and creative researcher-teachers are a role model leading the students to become researchers.
SOME OLD PEOPLE LIFE PATHS: EXPERIENCES OF AN URBAN GROUP
Authors: Varela Londoño Luz Estella
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe some perceptions about the ageing of a group of old people as presented by a research regarding their life paths in Caldas, Antioquia Colombia. Methodology: it is an ethnographical study in which observation, semi-structured and group interviews and documentary review were employed with the aim to understand the processes of social reproduction. Social universe: men and women over 60 living in the Caldas urban area, Antioquia, willing to participate and without cognitive alterations. Results: this work allowed us to discover that senior citizens acknowledge that death, pension, illness and solitude define old age and that their present situation is related with the inclusive or exclusive conditions of past and present times. Conclusions: the old people taking part in the research consider old age by negative stereotypes probably because the majority of them live in a state of vulnerability not only because of age since they suffer as well historical debts related to dismissal from employment, lack of social security, low schooling (specially in the case of women), límited economic and social state support. Those factors added to the physiological decline and the absence or social recognition help us to understand their life paths

USES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IN HEALTH. IS THERE SOMETHING BEYOND THE DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS?
Authors: Mercado Martínez Francisco Javier , Robles Silva Leticia
Published: April 2023

The aim of this paper is to examine the dissemination and use of qualitative health research. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, three common approaches are identified regarding the use and application of research results: one is interested in the dissemination of knowledge to academia; another looks at the knowledge transfer and translation to strengthenhealth policies and programs; and the last one is geared towards the population. The second part presents a relational and dialogic proposal for the transfer and use of qualitative research in the health area in the context of the Latin American countries.

MEASUREMENT OF RESILIENCE
Authors: Ospina Muñoz Doris E
Published: April 2023

Objective: To identify techniques and instruments to measure resilience. Material and Methods: An internet bibliographic review was carried under a resiliency measurement describer. Studies dealing with the establishment of resiliency measurement methods were selected. Results: The review shows that techniques and measurement instruments for the measurement of resilience can be divided in three groups: projective tests, psychometric tests and imaginology tests. This division matches the principal theoretical approaches to the concept of resilience. Psychometric tests are the more developed and some of them could be successfully used in other studies of the theme. However projective and imaginology test show interesting approaching potential to the concept especially in clinical and qualitative work. Discussion: The various factors intervening in resilience and the different theoretical approaches to the concept hinder the construction and measurement process. Dealing with this task researchers have to take sides regarding the different deﬁnitions of resilience leading them to leave aside some important aspects of the concept. Conclusion: It is highly convenient to carry out research with mixing methodological designs to be able to have a deeper insight to understand the phenomenon or resilience that would enable us to reach a wider comprehensive and integrative consensus regarding the concept and then to advance further in the design of for the integral measurement of the various aspects of resilience

Authors: Alcaraz López Gloria , Zapata Herrera Marleny , Gómez Gómez Margarita , Tavera Agudelo Edison
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe the duties and work of nursing professionals who work in the adult hospitalization floors.

Methodology: ethnographic study where 17 nurses who worked in the adult hospitalization floors in health care institutions located in the metropolitan area of the Aburra valley in Medellin (Colombia) were interviewed during the year of 2007. Ten observations about the studied phenomenon were made in the floors where the participants worked. The results were socialized with the study participants to verify if they recognized the performed analysis.

Results: four analysis categories were identified: Floor management, trying to give direct care, criteria for the classification of care and delegated care. The study participants are mainly engaged in management duties. Their work is centered specially in medical delegated activities and floor management. They establish the necessity to give care according to technical and biological criteria, and the care is delegated to the nurses' aide personnel. The direct contact with the patients is reduced most of the times to a courtesy and protocol greeting. Between the nurses exists a guilt feeling for not giving direct care.

Conclusion: the direct care is in second place after the doctor delegated duties and management service.

Authors: Salgado París Jacqueline Ester , Sanhueza Alvarado Olivia
Published: April 2023

Nursing formal education has a little more than a century in Chile and from its beginnings it was born linked to a care setting. This has generated a long data relationship between healthcare and teaching activities, implicit for all its actors but not always clear due to the absence of formal regulatory frames. The evolution of the current educational and health field politics has genera-ted change airs, ruling this existing relationship between higher education and health care institutions. This article describes the evolution of nursing teaching in its relationship between health-care and teaching activities and how the current educational and health regulatory frames could influence in the education quality and the relationship between healthcare and teaching activities.

Authors: Cantídio Farley Soares , Aparecida Vieira Maria , Rosângela de Sena Roseni
Published: April 2023

Objective. To describe the meaning of death and dying for students in the last year of nursing in the Estatal de Montes Claros University, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Methodology. Exploratory qualitative study, which used guided semistructured interview as instrument to collect data. Nursing students enrolled in the program in 2010 who were in the 7th and 8th semester were studied. Data was analyzed using the discourse analysis technique.

Results. Interviewees saw death as a “mystery”, “loss” of a loved one, and as a “transition” or “passing” from life existence to other one after death. When building meanings about finity, they expressed sadness, suffering and impotence towards the few lived experiences. For students, undergraduate training has contributed a little to the care of dying people.

Conclusion. Participating students have a deficient trai­ning in care concepts and methodologies for people coping with death.
Feeding and nourishing a child with cerebral palsy. View from perceptions
Authors: García Zapata Luis Fernando , Restrepo Mesa Sandra Lucía
Published: April 2023

Objective. To describe perceptions and routines of the informal primary family caregiver towards feeding and nourishing children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methodology. Qualitative study under ethnography focused perspective. Thirteen caregivers of children with CP who lived in Itagui, Antioquia participated. Data collection was performed until its saturation, through semi structured interviews and observation. For data processing and analysis an open, axial and selective coding was performed, category identification, recurrent, atypical and contradictory patterns from which taxonomies were built, were identified.

Results. Caregivers perceive that feeding and nourishing children with CP is difficult from birth, and this difficulty stays during the child’s development. Feeding routines are constituted from daily experiences, mother’s feeling towards disability, physical and physiological handicaps of the child. These routines influence the kid’s food intake, nutrition and the acquisition of minimum abilities to eat by himself and it changes the personal, labor, social and family life of the caregiver.

Conclusion. Alimentary and nutritional care of children with CP is built by their caregiver from daily experiences. Permanent assistance does not allow basic ability development to self nourish in those kids who can do it, what generates a load in the caregiver.

Published: April 2023

Background. Salvage radiation therapy is the “gold standard” of treatment for patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. However, the results of the effectiveness of salvage radiation therapy in patients with regional recurrences are significantly lower than in patients with local one of prostate cancer, and, as a rule, the progression of the disease more often continues lymphogenic, affecting the next barrier of lymph outflow – retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Aim. To develop a new more effective radical method of salvage radiation therapy in patients with regional relapses of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.

Materials and methods. The radiotherapy department of the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology of the Ministry of Health of Russia has developed a new method of hypofractionation salvage radiation therapy of patients with regional recurrences of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy, which includes treatment not only to regional recurrences, the bed of prostate and regional lymph nodes of the pelvis, but also and prophylactic radiation treatment to retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Results. 25 patients were treated with prophylactic radiation treatment to retroperitoneal lymph nodes from 2018 to 2021. The median follow-up of patients was 19 (7–22) months. In all patients, radiotherapy was performed in combination with hormone therapy with analogues of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone with a median duration of administration of 8 (6–10) months. All patients were treated without interruption according to the previously planned dosimetric treatment plans. At the end of the course of radiation therapy, none of the patients had any pronounced negative effects of the III–IV degree (according to the RTOG /EORTC scale). The 1-year local and biochemical control of the disease were 100 and 88 %, respectively.

Conclusions. Initial data assessing the safety of the newly developed salvage radiation therapy technique in hypofractionation mode with additional prophylactic of retroperitoneal lymph nodes demonstrate good tolerability. However, further study and randomized phase III clinical trial are required to determine clinical efficacy.
Colorectal anastomosis leakage after anterior rectal resection: frequency, risk factors

Published: April 2023

Purpose of the study. To study the frequency and risk factors for the development of colorectal anastomosis leakage after anterior rectal resection for cancer.

Materials and Methods. In a retrospective cohort study between April 2011 and February 2018. The data of the case histories of patients who underwent combined treatment for rectal cancer were analyzed. The study included patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. The influence of risk factors on the incidence of AN was assessed based on multivariate analysis using the logistic regression method.

Results. The study was conducted in 474 patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer. Depending on the outcome of the operation, the patients were divided into two groups: with the formation of a preventive intestinal stoma (main group, n = 344) and without formation (control group, n = 140) The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 20.6 % in patients with preventive stoma (PS) and 26.1 % without PS (p = 0.198). Colorectal anastomosis (RCA) leaks were detected in 40 (11.6 %) patients in the PS group and in 9 (6.9 %) patients in the non-PS group (р = 0,134). This complication was detected on the 7th day (2–12 days) after the operation in 5 (9.8 %) patients, while in patients with PS on the 10th day (11.6 %) and without PS on 3 (6.9 %) %), (p = 0.134). According to the classification of NCA severity, grade A was detected in 12 patients, B – at 24, C – in 11 patients. The frequency of reoperations in patients with PS was 10.8 %, while in patients with PS it was 15 % (p <0.001). The most common reason for reoperations in patients with LCA in the group without PS was the development of peritonitis (5.4 %, p <0.001). In a statistical multivariate analysis, the most significant risk factors for the development of NCA were: the presence of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.001), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.031) and stage III–IV of the disease (p = 0.051).

Conclusions. The formation of a preventive intestinal stoma after anterior resections does not reduce the incidence of colorectal anastomosis leaks (p = 0.134), however, it reduces the degree of manifestation of AN in the severity of the course of the postoperative postoperative period (p = 0.029). The frequency of reoperations in patients without a PS is significantly higher than in patients with a stoma (p <0.0001). Diabetes mellitus, chemoradiotherapy, and stage III–IV of the disease are factors influencing the development of leakage.
The Main Results of Criminal Law Reform in 2022: An Analytical Review
Authors: Lopashenko N. A.
Published: April 2023

The paper critically reflects on the changes in criminal legislation implemented in 2022: 15 federal laws, which changed the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, were adopted. A third of them is directly related to Russia conducting a special military operation. The review analyzes the most important changes, indicating the problems that arise in connection with their adoption, and suggests ways to solve these problems. The main results of the reform of the General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (in particular, the expansion of the list of aggravating circumstances) are highlighted. In 2022, 16 new articles were included in the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and 38 existing ones were subject to adjustments. The main trends of these changes include the expansion of criminalization, the strengthening of differentiation, and the tightening of criminal responsibility. The problems of differentiation of sexual crimes by taking into account the multiplicity of victims are critically investigated. An attempt is made to differentiate participation in an armed conflict and going over to the enemy’s side. The ratio of the bodies of crimes under Articles 207.3 and 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is analyzed with the need for unification in the criminal law of public appeals to violation of federal legislation. Some difficulties in the new understanding of torture are considered. The strengthening of artificial competition of criminal law norms on the example of the compositions provided for by new Articles 201.2, 201.3, 285.5, 285.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The main trends in the change of crimes against military service are identified. The unfaithfulness of the legislative regulation of criminal encroachments through the allocation as independent crimes of certain stages of an unfinished crime or types or forms of complicity in a crime on the example of anti-diversionary crime compositions is emphasized (Articles 281.1–281.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), etc.
Using Local Infrasound to Estimate Seismic Velocity and Earthquake Magnitudes
Authors: Macpherson Kenneth A. , Fee David , Colwell Juliann R. , Witsil Alex J.
Published: April 2023

Earthquake ground motions in the vicinity of receivers couple with the atmosphere to generate pressure perturbations that are detectable by infrasound sensors. These so-called local infrasound signals traverse very short source-to-receiver paths, so that they often exhibit a remarkable correlation with seismic velocity waveforms at collocated seismic stations, and there exists a simple relationship between vertical seismic velocity and pressure time series. This study leverages the large regional network of infrasound sensors in Alaska to examine local infrasound from several light to great Alaska earthquakes. We estimate seismic velocity time series from infrasound pressure records and use these converted infrasound recordings to compute earthquake magnitudes. This technique has potential utility beyond the novelty of recording seismic velocities on pressure sensors. Because local infrasound amplitudes from ground motions are small, it is possible to recover seismic velocities at collocated sites where the broadband seismometers have clipped. Infrasound-derived earthquake magnitudes exhibit good agreement with seismically derived values. This proof-of-concept demonstration of computing seismic magnitudes from infrasound sensors illustrates that infrasound sensors may be utilized as proxy vertical-component seismometers, making a new data set available for existing seismic techniques. Because single-sensor infrasound stations are relatively inexpensive and are becoming ubiquitous, this technique could be used to augment existing regional seismic networks using a readily available sensor platform.

Esta ponencia de seminario pretende resumir los principales problemas que la jurisdicción contencioso-administrativa española ofrece en nuestros días, vistos desde la perspectiva de sus usuarios. Estos problemas se refieren a la estructura orgánica del conjunto de órganos jurisdiccionales, a las circunstancias físicas que condicionan y dificultan el trabajo de sus miembros (la carga de trabajo, las sedes, los apoyos, la formación y la retribución) y al diseño del proceso que gestionan, con especial atención a la congestión de asuntos, las dificultades de acceso a la jurisdicción y el régimen del vigente recurso de casación.
La Escuela de Caminos en los orígenes de la ciencia española del Derecho administrativo: Las Lecciones de Derecho público y administrativo de Tomás María Vizmanos (1839/40)
Authors: Medina Alcoz Luis
Published: April 2023

Un manuscrito catalogado como anónimo y sin fechar en la Biblioteca Nacional de España resulta ser el curso de Derecho Administrativo español más antiguo conocido hasta el momento. Se trata de las Lecciones de Derecho público y administrativo impartidas en 1839/1840 por Tomás María Vizmanos Quintela, primer catedrático de la disciplina en la Escuela especial de caminos. Escritas en primera persona por un jurista comprometido con su tiempo, las Lecciones permiten tomar el pulso a un periodo apasionante en el que el régimen representativo y el proyecto de Estado administrativo estaban afianzándose. Además de arrojar luz sobre algunos debates historiográficos, evidencian cómo las obras públicas están en los orígenes de la Administración, el Derecho Administrativo y la ciencia del Derecho Administrativo. Divididas en dos partes, la primera aborda el Derecho Político prestando atención al dato jurídico-positivo, alejada, por tanto, del tono especulativo y abstracto por entonces característico de los estudios de este tipo. La segunda se dedica al Derecho Administrativo, entendido ya como Derecho especial esencialmente distinto del Derecho Civil. Por todo esto, más allá de su carácter pionero, las Lecciones revisten mucho interés. Tras explicar brevemente cómo se ha realizado el hallazgo, este artículo presenta, contextualiza y comenta las Lecciones. A estos efectos abordará su marco político y científico, así como la cátedra en la que fueron dictadas; la biografía y obra del autor; y, en fin, su estructura y contenido.
A vueltas con los intereses legítimos: Formación y sentido actual
Authors: García-Andrade Gómez Jorge
Published: April 2023

La figura del interés legítimo ha sido cuestionada en los últimos años, habiéndose roto el aparente consenso que existía sobre su definición. Este trabajo ofrece un concepto de interés legítimo basado en el derecho histórico, que se aleja de su contraposición con la figura del derecho subjetivo, para centrarse en la operativa diferenciada del interés legítimo respecto de los derechos preexistentes de los ciudadanos afectados por la actuación administrativa.
La reciente jurisprudencia sobre la obligación de utilizar medios electrónicos en las relaciones administrativas
Authors: Sánchez Lamelas Ana
Published: April 2023

Las personas físicas no tienen, en principio, la obligación de relacionarse electrónicamente con las Administraciones públicas. Para imponerles esta obligación la Ley 39/2015 exige en su art. 14.3 la intermediación de un reglamento, habiéndose planteado la duda de si este ha de ser necesariamente un Real Decreto o si también puede ser una Orden Ministerial. Este trabajo analiza críticamente las dudas interpretativas que ha generado esta regulación y la respuesta que ha dado el TS en sus recientes pronunciamientos. La trascendencia de las últimas sentencias del TS sobre este precepto no debe ocultar, sin embargo, que los legisladores han creado al margen de la legislación de procedimiento común una diversidad de regímenes especiales que dan lugar, a su vez, a una diversidad de garantías en defensa de los derechos de los ciudadanos afectados.
Regulación y supervisión financiera en la nueva economía digital global
Authors: Laguna de Paz José Carlos
Published: April 2023

La economía digital global está transformando el sector financiero. Este proceso puede significar beneficios, en términos de eficiencia e innovación. No obstante, también comporta serios riesgos para un sector esencial como este. Entre ellos, la aparición de nuevos operadores y la transformación de los existentes. La economía digital implica también cambios radicales en los sistemas de pago, así como la aparición de nuevos productos, que es preciso regular adecuadamente. A ello se añade la recopilación y tratamiento de datos personales, cuya utilidad se potencia con la inteligencia artificial. La creación de monedas digitales oficiales puede ser inevitable si se quiere asegurar que el dinero siga cumpliendo su función, así como la efectividad de la política monetaria.
Controlled synthesis of low-dimensional MoS2\TiO2 based core-shell structure for hydrogen evolution reaction
Authors: Nguyen Anh Duc , Nguyen Thi Xuan
Published: April 2023

In this report, we present the synthesis of low dimensional shell-core (2D\1D) nanostructures, in which the TiO2 nanorods (TNRs) as the core are covered by a continuous monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) as the shell. The obtain 1L-MoS2\TNRs was directly grown on the conduct graphite foil without any transfer process, thus minimizing the charge transfer resistance from the electrode to the outer most working surface. For the first steps, the TiO2 seed layer was designed by the AF sputtering method, then the TNRs were grown by hydrothermal approach. Thereafter, the TNRs were conformally coated by a continuous monolayer MoS2 via a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technique, resulting in 1L-MoS2\TNRs nanomaterial. The structural, vibrational, and morphological characteristics demonstrated that the samples are high crystallinity. Interestingly, the 1L-MoS2\TNRs showed highly efficient in electrochemical HER activity with the smallest onset overpotential of -140 mV vs RHE and a corresponding Tafel slope of 80 mV per decade, which were much lower compared to the pristine 1L-MoS2 and TNRs.

Published: April 2023

NiS as an electrode material for electrochemical capacitors has been synthesized by chemical and hydrothermal methods. The results show that the synthesized NiS is in amorphous form, increasing the reaction temperature or hydrothermal time tends to reduce the porosity of the materials. NiS synthesized by hydrothermal method exhibits better electrochemical properties than those synthesized by chemical method. NiS synthesized at the optimal condition of a hydrothermal temperature of 140 oC in 5h has a specific capacitance of 1592 F\g (265 mAh\g) and 1567 F\g (261 mAh\g) at a scan rate of 5 mV\s and a current density of 5 A\g, respectively. This value is about 88% of the theoretical value of NiS and is maintained after 25 continuous charge-discharge cycles at different current densities ranging from 5 to 40 A\g.

The increasing prevalence of high blood pressure in adolescents is an alarming global health problem, coupled with the rise in obesity and sedentary lifestyles. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between overweight, obesity, and pre-hypertension, and hypertension among adolescents aged 15 - 17 years in Hai Phong city. The case-control study was conducted on 1,000 students at Dong Hoa High School, Hai Phong city. The control group consisted of 730 students with normal systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The case group included 270 students with pre-hypertension and hypertension according to the diagnostic criteria of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study results showed that the proportion of students with pre-hypertension and hypertension was quite high, 12.2% and 14.8%, respectively. The prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension in male students was significantly higher than in female students (P < 0.001). After adjusting for age and sex, overweight and obesity were statistically significantly associated with the risk of pre-hypertension, and hypertension with OR values of 2.2 (95%CI: 1.4-3.4) and 7.1 (95%CI: 3.0 - 16.5), respectively. Thus, overweight and obesity increases the risk of pre-hypertension and hypertension in adolescents aged 15 - 17 at Dong Hoa High School, Hai Phong city.
Comparison of image classification methods to establishing land cover map at Ha Long city, Quang Ninh province using the Landsat-8 images
Authors: Dang Vu Khac
Published: April 2023

For a long time, many pixel-based image classification algorithms have been developed for identifying land cover, some of which are commonly used due to their efficiency and accuracy such as Maximum Likelihood (MLC), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Decision Trees (DTs). These methods are applied to classify land cover in Ha Long city using Landsat-8 satellite images with several categories including residence, bare soil, forest, agricultural land, water surface, and coal field. The validation results show that the overall accuracy (OA) and Kappa coefficient (K) of these classification methods are high, with OA > 91 % and K > 0.9. However, compared to the other two methods, the DTs method provides the results with the highest accuracy and the best ability to separate features. The obtained results allow selecting the image classification method for identical areas with complicated land cover such as Ha Long.
