Authors: Calvo Betancourt Lauren Sofía , Ardila Ardila Diego José , García-Peña Ángel , Muñoz Velandia Oscar Mauricio , Ruiz Álvaro J.
Published: December 2019

Introducción: es clara la relación entre las fracciones lipídicas y riesgo cardiovascular, sin embargo, no son claras las características operativas del colesterol total (CT) para el diagnóstico de dislipidemias por colesterol LDL (C-LDL) elevado, hipertrigliceridemia y colesterol HDL (CHDL) bajo.

Objetivo: establecer sensibilidad (S), especificidad (E), y valores predictivos (VPP y VPN) del CT (>200 mg/dL) para diagnóstico de diferentes tipos de dislipidemias. Material y métodos: estudio de pruebas diagnósticas a partir de la totalidad de perfiles lipídicos procesados en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio de Bogotá (Colombia), desde enero de 2006 hasta enero de 2017. Se calcularon S, E, VPP y VPN para cada dislipidemia y para cada meta de C-LDL.

Resultados: en 25 754 perfiles, la edad promedio fue 53.6±18 años. Las prevalencias de C-LDL elevado (según metas de 160, 130, 100, 70 o 55 mg/dL) fueron: 19.9%, 44.5%, 72.7%, 92.1% y 96.8% respectivamente; hipertrigliceridemia (>150 mg/dL) 44.7% y C-HDL bajo (< 40 mg/dL) 33.9%. Las sensibilidades del CT (>200 mg/dL) para C-LDL elevado según las mismas metas fueron: 100%, 95%, 70%, 56% y 53% y especificidades: 59%, 81%, 94%, 95% y 92%. VPP=37%, 80%, 97%, 99% y 99%, y VPN=100%, 95%, 54%, 15% y 5.8%. Para hipertrigliceridemia: S=61%, E=61%, VPP=55% y VPN=66%. Para C-HDL bajo: S=36%, E=42%, VPP=26% y VPN=54%.

Conclusiones: dadas las características operativas del CT>200 mg/dL, éste no debe ser utilizado como herramienta aislada para el diagnóstico de dislipidemia por C-LDL, por C-HDL, ni para hipertrigliceridemia.

Satellite-Aerial Integrated Computing in Disasters: User Association and Offloading Decision
Authors: Zhang Long , Zhang Hongliang , Guo Chao , Xu Haitao , Song Lingyang , Han Zhu
Published: December 2019

In this paper, a satellite-aerial integrated computing (SAIC) architecture in disasters is proposed, where the computation tasks from two-tier users, i.e., ground/aerial user equipments, are either locally executed at the high-altitude platforms (HAPs), or offloaded to and computed by the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. With the SAIC architecture, we study the problem of joint two-tier user association and offloading decision aiming at the maximization of the sum rate. The problem is formulated as a 0-1 integer linear programming problem which is NP-complete. A weighted 3-uniform hypergraph model is obtained to solve this problem by capturing the 3D mapping relation for two-tier users, HAPs, and the LEO satellite. Then, a 3D hypergraph matching algorithm using the local search is developed to find a maximum-weight subset of vertex-disjoint hyperedges. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has improved the sum rate when compared with the conventional greedy algorithm.

Authors: Vergara-García David , Buriticá José L , Torres Jorge , Laverde Leonardo
Published: December 2019

Introducción: Dado que la instrumentación posterior tornillo-barra C1-C2 ha demostrado tener buenos resultados postoperatorios en diferentes tipos de patologías con inestabilidad atlantoaxial independiente de la edad, es razonable pensar en su potencial aplicabilidad en el escenario de las fracturas atlantoaxiales combinadas en pacientes adultos mayores, para quienes el manejo quirúrgico ha demostrado ser beneficioso. Objetivo: Realizar una descripción retrospectiva de los resultados postoperatorios obtenidos en pacientes adultos mayores con fracturas atlantoaxiales combinadas llevados a manejo quirúrgico con instrumentación posterior tornillo-barra C1-C2. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó revisión de las historias clínicas de pacientes mayores de 65 años admitidos a dos hospitales de la ciudad de Bogotá DC entre enero de 2016 hasta enero de 2017, diagnosticados con fracturas traumáticas agudas combinadas del atlas y del axis y llevados a instrumentación posterior C1-C2 con constructos tornillo-barra. De la historia clínica se tomaron datos demográficos, clínicos, tipos de fractura, estado neurológico, estado de dolor, estado de fusión ósea, entre otros. Resultados: Se obtuvieron siete pacientes masculinos, con edad promedio 72,3 años. Ninguno presentó complicaciones perioperatorias o deterioro neurológico postoperatorio. Se evidenció fusión ósea y estabilidad del constructo en el 100% de los pacientes al año postoperatorio, con resolución completa del dolor cervical en 5 individuos, y parcial en los dos restantes. Conclusiones: La instrumentación posterior con constructos tornillo-barra C1-C2 es una excelente opción para el manejo quirúrgico de pacientes adultos mayores con fracturas atlantoaxiales combinadas dada su baja tasa de complicaciones y alta tasa de fusión ósea.

A presente pesquisa objetivou identificar os principais desafios que docentes enfrentam ao ensinar Botânica, segundo suas condições de trabalho em uma instituição de ensino superior. Quanto aos aspectos metodológicos trata-se de investigação de natureza qualitativa, sendo uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória de um caso. A coleta de material empírico se deu por meio de aplicação de questionários abrangendo diferentes dimensões de suas práticas pedagógicas na disciplina de Botânica.  A pesquisa ocorreu no período de julho de 2016 a junho de 2017 e contemplou seis docentes. Constatamos que a falta de recursos didáticos e auxílio de técnicos e monitores, são um dos principais fatores que prejudicam a qualidade do ensino. Isso tem ocasionado insatisfação dos docentes, no que se refere à atual forma de se ensinar Botânica na universidade. Mesmo diante de tais dificuldades, os professores afirmam que seus alunos estão motivados pelo ensino da disciplina. Mas que aspectos estariam garantindo ensinar Botânica diante das dificuldades, e ainda assim garantir interesse da parte dos alunos? Concluímos que há necessidade de estudos tanto acerca da relação dos alunos com a Botânica quanto acerca da diversidade de recursos didáticos e de novas metodologias que estejam sendo utilizadas por esses e por outros docentes.

Authors: Silva Priscila Do Nascimento , Souza Larissa Oliveira de , Silva Flávia Cristiane Vieira da , Simões Neto José Euzebio
Published: December 2019

O processo de modificação de determinado saber, quando é didatizado, ou seja, formatado para situações de ensino, ao deixar a esfera científica e adentar a esfera escolar é denominado de transposição didática, e ocorre em duas etapas complementares: externa, que transforma o saber científico em saber a ser ensinado, e interna, que transforma o saber a ser ensinado em saber ensinado. Nesse artigo, buscamos apresentar uma análise do processo de transposição didática para o conteúdo Termodinâmica Química. Para observar a transposição didática externa, trabalhamos com a comparação entre um livro didático do Ensino Superior, tomado com referência, e obras significativas do Ensino Médio. Em seguida, procuramos identificar a relação de três professores do Ensino Médio com tal conteúdo, por meio de entrevistas, buscando indícios do trabalho intramuros da sala de aula. Observamos a ocorrência de deformações, supressões e criações didáticas na construção do texto do saber, além de verificarmos a importância da programabilidade, recontextualização e gestão do tempo no processo de construção do novo texto do saber. Ainda, observamos a inclusão de elementos teóricos por um dos professores entrevistados, fenômeno que chamamos nesse texto de acréscimo individual.

Published: December 2019

Tutoring services are one of the variables which educational research investigates to counteract the educational failure of universities (Topping, 1996; Falchikov & Blythman, 2001; Da Re, 2017). An effective strategy, in order to counteract dropout and delay in achievement of a degree and to promote a positive continuation of studies, is to enhance the quality of the university tutoring services which could support students in their studies with personalized and interactive educational process, providing them with support both on the educational and emotional-motivational levels (Felice, 2005; Álvarez & González, 2008). This paper presents the results of longitudinal research developed at the Department of Education at the Roma Tre University. The research analyzed the academic careers of three cohorts of students (academic years: 2013, 2016 and 2017) with what are defined “Additional Educational Obligations” (OFA) because they had scored an insufficient grade in the admission test and so attended “S.Tu.Di OFA” tutoring service. The objective was to reduce undergraduate students’ educational failure. The results of the research have shown how the innovation of the didactic design has proved to be effective in helping to counter the university students' educational insufficiencies. Both qualitative and quantitative tools were used (Trinchero, 2002; Pellerey, 2011; Semeraro, 2014). Data analysis highlighted the effectiveness of the tutoring actions proposed for students with initial difficulties in studying. Also, the reflections advanced by tutors and students confirmed the importance of continuing to strengthen the university’s offering of formative tutoring.
Can adaptive expertise, reflective practice, and activity theory help achieve systems-based practice and collective competence?
Authors: Orsino Angela , Ng Stella
Published: December 2019

Physicians must function as integral members of the complex social systems in which they work to support the health of their patients; competency-based education frameworks describe this function of physicians in terms of systems-based practice, advocacy, and collaboration. Yet education for these social competencies continues to present challenges, perhaps because medical education has tended to focus less on social systems and more on traditional healthcare systems. In this paper, we use a clinical example from the discipline of Developmental Pediatrics, that of early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as an illustration of a socially complex zone of practice necessitating systems-based practice. We first explore this practice context through the framings of collective competence and activity theory to represent the complex practices and systems involved in identifying ASD. We then align these framings of the practice context and complexity with two bodies of education theory, adaptive expertise and reflective practice. We argue that these approaches to education will prepare learners to be more aware of and responsive to the dynamic needs of the complex and intersecting systems in which they will practice.
Paresthesia of right encephalon creativity secondary to residency application anxiety
Authors: Mohammed Denelle
Published: December 2019

Applying to residency programs is a stressful time for any medical student. The finances, worries about the future, fear of not matching and being unable to repay loans can cause fleeting crippling moments for some students. As a residency applicant myself this year, and someone who has a fondness and passion for all things artistic, I sometimes find that the anxiety associated with application season can intermittently numb the creative side of my brain. It can even make my creative mind smaller because it is sometimes feels as though it is overtaken by more logical and practical thoughts. In addition, the lack of irises and pupils in the portrait show how far removed one’s mind can sometimes be from constructive emotion during this tough season of life.
Countering Ethnic Violence, Extremism, and Terrorism or Human Rights Violations: A Case Study of Central Asian Republics
Authors: Saud Dr. Adam , Hussain Qaisrani Dr. Irfan
Published: December 2019

Central Asia has been declared as ‘not free’ region by most of the global human rights organizations. The region has been governed by the old socialist-minded leadership since its independence. This style does not give room for civil liberties and human rights. Furthermore, the region has been marked with extremism, terrorism and ethnic violence for a long period of time. The regimes are also supported by other ‘not free’ states especially Russia and China. Such kind of regional dynamics has encouraged the states to adopt oppressive policies in order to strengthen themselves. This research focuses; to understand the social and ethnic demography of the Central Asian region; to understand the hyper-presidential political systems of the region; to understand the violent and non-violent movements against the ‘system’, and to analyze the state policies towards human rights and civil liberties.
The US and Russian Battlefield Maneuvers in the 21st Century of Islam and Muslims in the Australian Press
Authors: Sargana Tauqeer Hussain , Hussain Mujahid
Published: December 2019

This study makes the point that the 21st century is practicing non-kinetic warfare and nations vulnerable to it must overcome their weaknesses or be ready to get consumed. The world at large has witnessed a shift in the co-existence of relations among nations. Traditionally, an ally or the foe had a decisive place in the phenomenon of cooperation and competition, respectively. Realist tendencies and strategies to outcast the strengths of one’s enemy were straightforwardly applied. Military means including framing alliances were applied to squeeze the very possibility of response mechanism vested in the enemy’s defense lines. Contrary to this, those who fall in the vicinity of friendship orally, were to the best helped and taken along. This crafted the era of kineticism, where political affiliations with all its strengths and weaknesses were open and nations have clear manifestation to opt for the best side. This had been the case from First to Third Generations of warfare. Somehow, the Fourth Generation of warfare has faded away from the very distinction between an ally and foe. The discourse of ‘national interest’ in the 21st century has fed anxiety and distrust among nations. This study, therefore, is deductive in nature and has used the above analogy as a theoretical premise to decode the hypothetical assumption that there exists a context of non-kinetic warfare and both the US and Russia have entered into ‘maneuvered battlefield’. Secondary data with authors’ own reflections being a student of international politics has driven the analysis and findings.

Published: December 2019

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a brilliant English writer, has been called as a feminist, since she fought for women’s rights and protested the domination of men. She might be also called as an androgynist writer, for she sometimes emphasized the harmony of men and women. To the Lighthouse, which was published in 1927, is her best novel of both feminism and androgyny. It is a realistic novel about a family and an elegy for people Virginia loved. Based on the strong and deep memories of her own family, she described a group of the more complex people spending holiday in a summer house on Scottish coast. It consists of Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay with their eight children and assorted guests. They are going to have a visit to a nearby lighthouse. It is put off because of the weather, and takes place ten years later. From this delay of the expedition to the lighthouse, she constructed the complex tensions of family life and the conflict of male and female principles. For Virginia there is not one of kind of truth, but two. There is the truth of reason, and there is the truth of imagination. The truth of reason is pre-eminently the masculine sphere, while the truth of imagination, or intuitive, is the feminine. Together, these truths make up what she calls reality. Regarding this idea, in To the Lighthouse, she tries to imply a theme about the harmony by presenting male and female characters that have contradictory views and different principles.There are many characters in To the Lighthouse, Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe are supposed to be the main characters since they dominantly support the development of the events and even most of the story focuses on their actions, attitudes and thoughts. This research aims to give evidence that Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe are all the main characters who, with their words, thoughts and actions, relate each other to support the theme of To the Lighthouse
