Virtual Youtubers
Authors: Theodoro Soares Gabriel , Baitello Jr. Norval
Published: February 2023

Os Virtual Youtubers (Vtubers) são streamers que usam um avatar animado em vez de expor seu rosto. Escondendo sua identidade, eles são livres para se recriarem como seres fantásticos. Isto é possível graças às imagens que utilizam os corpos destes streamers para se aproximar a fim de atrair nossa atenção, já que elas precisam de olhares para não serem esquecidas, como afirma a teoria da iconofagia de Norval Baitello Jr. Novas tecnologias permitem que Vtubers interajam com outras pessoas diretamente através de um chat. Esta interação ocorre constantemente e a linha entre "eu" e "outro" é embaçada. Os Vtubers podem ser o melhor exemplo do que Vilém Flusser chama de homem artificializado, aquele cuja vida é deliberada. Neste sentido, o artigo enfoca a observação de comunidades online com o objetivo de analisar a prática dos Vtubers e estabelecer se ela implica alguma mudança na relação com o "outro" e com a imagem, e se esta imagem tem novas características. Como hipótese, é proposto que os Vtubers são um novo tipo de imagem que só faz sentido quando eles estão ao lado do corpo humano. Os donos desses corpos se tornam parte de um mundo de fantasia onde suas características físicas não importam e eles podem ser o que quiserem. Portanto, os Vtubers seriam criaturas que se movem entre o corpo e a imagem.
Vaquera invertida
Authors: Asencio Navarro Raúl
Published: February 2023

En el libro Vaquera invertida (Caja Negra, 2022), McKenzie Wark narra los años previos a su transición. Es una obra híbrida: entre la novela, el ensayo y la memoria. La escritora cuenta la búsqueda insatisfecha de una identidad que no encuentra su espacio dentro del binarismo de sexo y género. Además, articula una mirada disfórica; aunque no entiende la disforia como una enfermedad individual, sino como una forma de no reconocimiento en los modelos patriarcales y capitalistas.
Meconium Peritonitis: Antenatal Diagnosis and Management. Two Case Reports
Authors: Anca Budusan , Alexandru Cocian , Horatiu Viorel Gocan
Published: February 2023

Meconium peritonitis (MP) is a sterile chemical peritonitis resulting from intestinal perforation in utero. We present two cases of preterm neonates weighing 2580 g and 3100 g respectively, in whom fetal meconium peritonitis was diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both patients required surgery. As the literature suggests, newborn surgery for meconium peritonitis is sometimes very difficult owing to severe adhesions and bleeding. The aim of these case reports is to underline that close collaboration between neonatologists and pediatric surgeons is essential for the timely diagnosis and prompt management of MP, but also to reveal the benefit of primary anastomosis (PA) for MP as well as to demonstrate the importance of the imagistic techniques in diagnosing and managing MP, both before and after birth.

Published: February 2023

The concepts of Piotr Skarga, contained in the Sejm Sermons, make him appear to us not so much as a priest and theologian, but as an outstanding lawyer with extensive knowledge in his ﬁeld. This Jesuit preacher, however, was not a jurist by training, although in his work he establishes the deﬁnition of law and introduces distinctions between its variations. Skarga believed that the creation of normative acts should be commissioned only by persons who have speciﬁc knowledge and expertise. Moreover, in his opinion, the proper functioning of the state is not be possible without the application of a fair laws, equal to all. It is worth noting that unjust laws are mentioned by the Jesuit preacher in the Sejm Sermons as one of the six diseases of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Authors: Sochacka Ewelina
Published: February 2023

The article shows the wider literary context of the epoch and deﬁnes the creative inspirations of the author in past and historic events. An Essay on Novels, servings as the introduction to the collection of short stories The Crimes of Love (1800), is discussed in a broader, holistic context of a publication containing 11 titles. Sade’s deﬁnition of the novel is presented and analyzed, from an outline developed by him of the history of literature from ancient Egypt to the present and his prediction of the future, and the most important motives and attributes of ﬁctional works through-out history were enumerated in accordance with his guidelines. The rules of writing that Sade formulated in relation to the works of Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding are another subject discussed here. De Sade’assessment of the work by contemporary writers and his literary forecasts were juxtaposed with the romantic features of the coming era: the desire for freneticism and horror caused by the French Revolution. The text is presented in a broader historical context of the 1800s (M. Milewska, Vinegar and Tears) and a comparative one with references to the works and literary thought of Polish writers (M. Janion, Romantyzm, rewolucja, marksizm. Colloquia gdańskie). The article also draws attention to footnotes penned by de Sade and his reﬂections on the contemporary book market. The aim here is to gain a deeper understanding of the writings of the Marquis and show his deep knowledge of literature.
„Kultura czynna” Jerzego Grotowskiego a projekt kulturoznawstwa Stanisława Pietraszki. Współmyślność czy kulturowa kreacja?
Authors: Radwański Przemysław
Published: February 2023

Koncepcje kulturoznawstwa Stanisława Pietraszki i „kultury czynnej” Jerzego Grotowskiego zrodziły się w tym samym czasie. Można też wskazać wiele ich podobieństw mimo krańcowej różnicy języków, w jakich zostały sformułowane. Teoria Pietraszki to klasyczny koncept humanistyki poznawczej, zakładający budowanie podstaw myślenia o kulturze jako autonomicznej sferze rzeczywistości wymagającej własnej nauki i języka. Działania Grotowskiego zaś to akt humanistyki niepoznawczej, a więc poznawania świata w pozapojęciowych kategoriach czynienia i doświadczania. Mimo to — i mimo braku dowodów jakiegokolwiek bezpośredniego kontaktu czy wpływu twórców na siebie — widoczne są podobieństwa w rozumieniu kultury „jako sposobu życia podług wartości”; wartości będących dla Pietraszki centralnym przedmiotem rozważań, a działań dla Grotowskiego. Wyjaśnienia tej zbieżności, określanej też jako Zeitgeist, można upatrywać w prawidłach kreacji kulturowej, która jest procesem wewnętrznej zmiany kulturowego porządku i przejawia się poprzez twórczość wybitnych jednostek.

Published: February 2023

Introduction Elbow dislocation is a common injury that one may encounter in an emergency setting. Every dislocation can be categorized as simple or complex depending on bony involvement, and treatment depends mainly on injury pattern as well as on post-reduction stability. Aim The aim of this review is to present the current state of the art concerning diagnosis and treatment of simple elbow dislocations and to propose an algorithm based on which one might successfully provide patients with adequate care. Material and methods Twelve papers dating back from 1999 to 2020 using PubMed, Cochrane Library were reviewed to search for evidence-based treatment methods associated with best results after acute elbow dislocation. Results Quick mobilization in a stable range of motion after joint reduction reduces the risk of long term complications and pain greatly. Careful examination of the joint involved is crucial in terms of correct therapy selection. In a minority of cases with persisting instability, operative treatment is the treatment of choice. Conclusions In most cases involving simple elbow dislocations, appropriate conservative treatment brings favorable results and elbow stiffness or range of motion (ROM) restriction are rare. However, in rare cases, operative repair is mandatory.

Introduction Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of disorders that are manifested primarily by difficulties in interpersonal contact. Moreover, children with ASD have specific food habits, which can disturb their proper development. Nowadays, it is suggested that appropriate dietary interventions could help in the treatment of ASD. We will consider how effective a diet could be in this role. Aim This review aims to estimate the effectiveness of dietary interventions used in children with ASD based on scientific research. Material and method This article was created on the basis of a systematic review. Articles were searched using PubMed. The applied terms were: ‘diet in ASD’, ‘dietary interventions in Autism Spectrum Disorder’, ‘Autism Spectrum Disorder’, ‘therapies in ASD’. We searched for studies that were published in less than the last 5 years, but older references were also obtained from analyzed articles. Results We received a total of 227 results. After selection, It was decided to use 21 studies with dietetic interventions. Conclusions The most commonly performed interventions are the ketogenic diet, the gluten-free caseinfree diet, and probiotic supplementation. Most studies do not have enough evidence that would allow drawing definite conclusions. Currently, modifying the diet does not appear to have a significant impact on ASD symptoms.

Introduction One of the basic goals of post-stroke rehabilitation is the improvement of postural control and gait quality. Modern post-stroke rehabilitation implements treadmill training with controlled body balance perturbations (PBT). Aim This study aimed to assess the influence of the PBT treadmill training on activities of daily living (ADL), gait quality and postural control in people with chronic stroke. Methods Seventeen patients with stroke hospitalized in a rehabilitation centre were randomly allocated to 3-week PBT training. Functional independence was assessed using Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA). ADL were assessed using Barthel Scale. Static and dynamic postural control was assessed using Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up And Go Test (TUG) and Functional Reach Test (FRT). Static postural control was assessed using stabilometric platform tests (Alfa and Gamma, Ac International East, Poland). The 10-meter walk test was used to evaluate gait. Spatial, temporal gait parameters were also assessed using the MyoMotion (Noraxon, USA). Results A significant improvement was found in the patients’ motor functions (FMA; p = 0.01), independence in daily activities (Barthel Scale; p = 0.01), static and dynamic balance (BBS; p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant improvement in the dynamic balance (TUG; p = 0.15; and FRT; p = 0.19). Conclusions Inclusion of perturbation training during rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke improved ADL, gait quality and postural control.

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is described as a progressive inflammatory chronic disease affecting the central nervous system and resulting in severe cognitive and physical disabilities as well as neurological disturbances. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of home exercises performed by MS patients (individually adjusted by a physiotherapist) on their quality of life, balance, and functional performance. Material and methods Fifteen patients with MS participated in the study. They were assessed using questionnaires (IADL, WHOQOL-BREF, AIS, MFIS) and functional scales (tandem and single leg stance tests, TUG, 3-Meter Walk Test, The Step Test, 30 s Chair Stand Test, The Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test and Functional Reach Test) before starting the exercises and after several months of self-home exercises. Results A significant improvement in the WHOQOL-BREF domain 4 scores (environmental health, p = 0.031) was observed in the second study. Improvement was also seen in the Timed Up&Go test (p = 0.027), the 3m walk test (p < 0.001), and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (p < 0.001). Conclusions Self-home exercises by MS patients may improve their functional performance but have little effect on fatigue and disease acceptance. Home exercises should complement traditional rehabilitation.

Published: February 2023

Introduction Low back pain (LBP) has now become a serious medical problem, but it is also an economic one, often leading to the physical disability of patients. Exercise therapy in an aquatic environment, including the Ai Chi method, is an increasingly popular preventive intervention in LBP. So far, however, only a few studies have evaluated the clinical usefulness of Ai Chi for the elderly with this problem. Aim This study is a preliminary analysis of the effectiveness of the Ai Chi method for the treatment of chronic LBP in people over 60 years of age. Material and methods The research material consisted of 20 women aged 66.95 ± 3.76 years, diagnosed with chronic LBP, treated using the Ai Chi method. In an aquatic environment, the patients performed a series of slow and broad movements of the arms, legs and trunk combined with deep breathing (ten sessions for two weeks). The following research methods were used: the Fullerton Fitness Test, the grip strength test using a dynamometer, and pain intensity assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results The application of the Ai Chi method contributed to an improvement in physical fitness and a reduction in pain sensation in the exercising women. There were no significant changes in the measurements of the strength of the upper limbs. Conclusions Ai Chi may be an effective method for reducing pain and improving lower body strength, flexibility, dynamic balance and endurance in older patients with chronic LBP.
USEFULNESS OF THE SURFACE ELECTROMYOGRAPHICAL RECORDINGS FOR EVALUATION OF SYNERGISTIC MUSCLE FUNCTION IN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES OF PATIENTS AFTER INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURIES FOR THE PHYSIOTHERAPY PURPOSES
Authors: Szwarc Filip , Huber Juliusz
Published: February 2023

Introduction Electromyographic examinations with the use of surface leads (sEMG) in the standing and lying position are used in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders and prognostically, assessing the patient’s therapeutic process, especially kinesiotherapy. There is little data on synergistic muscle function in patients with partial spinal cord injury (iSCI) from which an optimal isometric rehabilitation program can be determined. Aim The aim of the following pilot study is to demonstrate the pathological pattern of synergistic interaction of lower limb muscles in patients with (iSCI) preventing correct posture. This is to enable the future to create a detailed algorithm through selective and targeted activities aimed at restoring the correct pattern of muscle synergy. Material and methods The studies were carried out in 12 patients with (iSCI) (documented in the MRI at levels C3-C8 and Th7-S1). The electrodes recorded bipolar activity (sEMG) on both sides of the: gluteus maximus (GM), rectus femoris (RF), tibialis anterior (TIB), extensors of the back of the foot (EXT). Records were performed in the position that activated the proximal and distal muscles. Results The results show changes in the muscle synergy pattern for the lower extremities in patients with (iSCI), by the intensification of muscle interaction (GM) with (EXT). Conclusions The results demonstrate the behavior of the synergistic muscle pathways of the distal muscles of the lower extremities and the role of the interacting with (GM) activity in maintaining correct posture. Kinesiotherapy exercises should be aimed at returning balance between (RE) and (GM) to restore the patient’s correct posture.

The presence of corrugated fiber cement roofs is great in several cities in Brazil, being one of the main roof coverings in Brazil. This research aimed to study the different dispositions of corrugated fiber cement tiles, being rotated 90° and with mortar barriers in relation to the quality of the water collected, the temperature and the amount of water retained for the purpose of contributing to the delay of surface runoff. The study methodology was through in loco data collection. The data were treated statistically to evaluate the correlation of results regarding temperature changes and similarities in water quality. It was found that over time the fiber cement tiles were less and less releasing physicochemical particles in the water, and that the changes in the dispositions did not influence the temperature. Tiles rotated by 90º showed higher water retention, making them an appropriate type for use in delaying surface runoff.

In addition to ensuring that the treated water meets the standards required by legislation, it is essential that it be safe for human consumption. The increase in ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations in raw water is worrisome in Brazil due to the preservation conditions of the water sources, since the discharge of untreated sewage and/or industrial effluents is still a reality in the country. Besides contributing to the insertion of pathogenic microorganisms, in general, these effluents have increased concentrations of ammoniacal nitrogen, a compound that reduces the chlorine disinfection potential, widely used disinfectant in water treatment and, therefore, it can jeopardize the water microbiological safety. Thus, it is indispensable that the breakpoint chlorination be ensured to eliminate ammoniacal nitrogen and combined chlorine from the water.

A partir de experiências etnográficas com enredos de escolas de samba do Rio de Janeiro que contêm referências religiosas, este artigo tem por objetivo apontar possibilidades de articulação entre festa, arte, cultura e religião. Toma-se por base o acompanhamento dos desfiles da Renascer de Jacarepaguá, em 2016, em homenagem aos Ibeijis, santos e orixás gêmeos, e da Estação Primeira de Mangueira, em 2017, com um enredo que tratava das relações entre santos e devotos. As etnografias foram realizadas de forma coletiva por membros do Grupo de Pesquisa em Antropologia da Devoção do Museu Nacional/UFRJ, que partiram de um repertório acumulado de discussões na área da “antropologia da devoção” e no estudo das religiões ou das festas religiosas stricto sensu. Porém, o processo de aproximação ao universo das escolas de samba produziu uma abertura de horizontes, provocada pela experiência de abordar a religião como temática carnavalesca. São as descobertas e os impasses dessa mudança de contexto em um percurso de pesquisas que procuraremos explorar aqui.

Máscaras, memória e mudança no Portugal contemporâneo
Authors: Restivo Maria Manuela , Moreira Luciano
Published: February 2023

Em território português, as festas que envolvem máscaras “locais” ou “tradicionais” têm vindo a crescer nos útlimos anos, integrando-se progressivamente em novos circuitos turísticos e patrimoniais. Neste ensaio visual, procurámos dar a ver alguns momentos dessas festas, com foco no processo de celebração, contribuindo para pensar a posição peculiar em que elas se encontram no mundo contemporâneo: entre a reprodução dos patrimónios herdados e a sua (re)invenção.
Festa de Nossa Senhora de Andacollo
Authors: Horta Ana Paula Santos , Rojas Carolina Herrera
Published: February 2023

As festividades à Virgem de Andacollo são realizadas duas vezes por ano no Chile, segundo as celebrações indígenas ancestrais. A primeira, denominada “chica”, acontece no equinócio de primavera ao longo do primeiro domingo de outubro. A segunda, designada “festa grande”, ocorre no solstício de verão, no período de 23 a 27 de dezembro. Atualmente, essas festas foram assimiladas pelas celebrações católicas e atraem centenas de pessoas à pequena Andacollo, na região de Coquimbo. A praça principal é tomada pelo som de caixas, tambores e flautas, as ruas ganham cor e brilho com as vestimentas e estandartes dos devotos. As igrejas tornam-se cúpulas vivas do ir e vir de homens, mulheres e crianças que renovam a cada ano o íntimo propósito de se colocarem diante da imagem de Nossa Senhora de Andacollo.

Este artículo analiza el proceso exportador de las empresas manufactureras españolas, interpretando dicho proceso como un camino secuencial: I) fase previa al compromiso, II) fase inicial y III) fase avanzada. Este estudio explora las cuestiones de cuándo las empresas deciden pasar de una fase a otra y qué factores pueden acelerar o desacelerar dicha decisión. La obtención de innovaciones de producto o proceso es la motivación más significativa para una entrada temprana en las dos primeras fases del proceso. Los resultados también muestran que la influencia familiar está relacionada con un retraso en el proceso de internacionalización de la empresa.
The impact of folk games on primary school students

Kazakhstan's efforts to expand its physical culture have brought tremendous benefits. However, there are still unresolved issues in the teaching of physical education in our country's schools. Despite many ethnic and cultural traditions, combining learning opportunities in the classroom is ineffective. Domestic experience in sports is underutilized due to a lack of educational literature and scientific evidence that supports the use of traditional outdoor sports. The purpose of this study is to improve the motor abilities of young children by using carefully selected traditional outdoor sports. A study on the use of folk games in working with children in primary schools found that teachers' knowledge of the possibilities of folk games is inadequate. Finally, the findings suggest that incorporating traditional games into the physical education curriculum for students in lower grades can serve as a model for healthy lifestyles. Various types of games and exercises help to improve physiological systems, physical development and physical fitness in children and foster positive moral and volitional qualities.
PROTAGONISMO INFANTIL NA EDUCAÇÃO DE CRIANÇAS INDÍGENAS

A criança, independente das diferenças socioculturais, de gênero ou qualquer outro dispositivo discriminador, deve ter seus direitos como cidadãos respeitados e preservados. O projeto violento e opressor do colonialismo resultou na ruptura dos povos originários com a sua cultura, visto que ao longo desse processo foi consolidado um modelo universal de características europeias. Deste modo, o presente trabalho busca caracterizar a infância indígena com base na teoria decolonial, a partir da discussão do documentário Waapa. Para tanto, o documentário foi analisado a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo temática proposta por Bardin. Foram criadas três categorias norteadoras da discussão: Natureza, Gênero e Cultura. Foi possível observar as particularidades das vivências indígenas na infância e o modo como a cultura e os elementos da natureza se relacionam com os marcos do desenvolvimento infantil, bem como, a formação social e humana de cada criança. Ficou evidente ao longo das cenas o protagonismo infantil, entendendo a criança como sujeito participativo, ativa em suas relações sociais e interações, propondo uma noção de infância mais diversa e que ganha espaço e visibilidade. Ressalta-se que é necessário o olhar do giro decolonial para que se possa compreender a singularidade e sentimento de infância de cada povo.
IABP Versus Impella Support in Cardiogenic Shock: “In Silico” Study

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is part of a clinical syndrome consisting of acute left ventricular failure causing severe hypotension leading to inadequate organ and tissue perfusion. The most com-monly used devices to support patients affected by CS are Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP), Impella 2.5 pump and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. The aim of this study is the com-parison between Impella and IABP using CARDIOSIM© software simulator of the cardiovascular system. The results of the simulations included baseline conditions from a virtual patient in CS followed by IABP assistance in synchronized mode with different driving and vacuum pressures. Subsequently, the same baseline conditions were supported by the Impella 2.5 with different ro-tational speeds. The percentage variation with respect to baseline conditions was calculated for hemodynamic and energetic variables during IABP and Impella assistance. Impella pump driven with a rotational speed of 50000 rpm increased the total flow by 4.36% with a reduction in left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) by ≅15% to ≅30%. A reduction in left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) by ≅10% to ≅18% (≅12% to ≅33%) was observed with IABP (Impella) as-sistance. Taking into account the limitations of a simulation setting, this study highlights that assistance with the Impella device leads to higher reduction in LVESV, LVEDV, left ventricular external work and left atrial pressure-volume loop area compared to IABP support.

As one of the world's most populous countries, Indonesia is struggling with the composition of its people, the majority of whom are unemployed productive-age individuals with low education levels. Another issue is the high poverty rate, which is followed by issues of gender inequality. The government cannot solve these social issues on its own. There is a need for community support to solve these problems through sustainable social entrepreneurship activities. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Outcome Expectation, this study will determine the factors that influence the interest of individuals known as the Z and Millennial generation, aged 18 to 34 years old, in becoming social entrepreneurs. This study applied a quantitative approach with a judgmental sampling technique to a sample of Generation Z and Millennials who have ever participated in social activities but have not yet started their own business. The study gathered 210 respondents, who were then analyzed using the PLS-SEM method with multiple group analysis generation-based comparison. According to the findings, the Millennial Generation's Attitude Toward Behavior, Subjective Norms, and Outcome Expectation all had a positive impact on Social Entrepreneurial Intention. Meanwhile, Subjective Norms had no effect on Social Entrepreneurial Intention in the Z Generation. Only attitude toward behavior, perceived behavioral control, and outcome expectation have a positive effect on the development of social entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the findings of this study confirm that subjective norms influence attitude toward behavior and Perceived Behavioral Control in both Generation Z and millennials.
A New Principle to Determine the Radiative Heat Transfer in Sphere-related Surfaces
Authors: Cabeza-Lainez Joseph
Published: February 2023

The exact determination of radiative exchanges between solids and surfaces has been a long sought-for question in heat transfer science. Being the canonical equation that rules such phenomena, a fourfold integral, it is extremely difficult to obtain an accurate solution like a formula or abacus. Over the last thirty years, the author has tried to integrate the canonical expression by sundry procedures and they have published two books and a dozen of articles on the matter, recently by virtue of computational geometry and graphic algorithms as a new way to solve the finite-difference problems that arise on complex geometries. In architectural engineering curved radiant emitters are customary since antiquity, especially in domes and vaults and their oculus, However, a consistent procedure to handle them was not readily available. The principles that are described hereby based on Cabeza-Lainez’ first principle for spherical fragments offer a complete panorama on the manner in which surface sources related or contained in spheres can be interpreted and accounted for without resorting to integration. The main advance is that a variety of unexplained problems of radiative heat transfer, applicable to aerospace engineering, meteorological, architectural and medical sciences can be sorted out as exactly as quickly.
