Three-dimensional integration, which improves the performance of an integrated circuit by reducing die area and decreasing signal latency, is made possible by through-holes in silicon (TSV). Combining ICs in a micro-assembly and tightly connecting them vertically solves the problem with efficiency. Due to the need to minimize the characteristics of the microcircuit level, the number of transistors per unit area continues to increase. All IC components must be electrically connected to ensure proper operation. Over the years, various IP architectures have been developed to keep the path of miniaturization going. This article focuses on existing microassembly methods, ranging from two-dimensional integration (2D) to three-dimensional (3D).
Making Migrants’ Input Invisible: Intersections of Privilege and Otherness From a Multilevel Perspective
Authors: Palenga‐Möllenbeck Ewa
Published: August 2022

For some years, the German public has been debating the case of migrant workers receiving German benefits for children living abroad, which has been scandalised as a case of “benefit tourism.” This points to a failure to recognise a striking imbalance between the output of the German welfare state to migrants and the input it receives from migrant domestic workers. In this article I discuss how this input is being rendered invisible or at least underappreciated by sexist, racist, and classist practices of othering. To illustrate the point, I will use examples from two empirical research projects that looked into how families in Germany outsource various forms of reproductive work to both female and male migrants from Eastern Europe. Drawing on the concept of othering developed in feminist and postcolonial literature and their ideas of how privileges and disadvantages are interconnected, I will put this example into the context of literature on racism, gender, and care work migration. I show how migrant workers fail to live up to the normative standards of work, family life, and gender relations and norms set by a sedentary society. A complex interaction of supposedly “natural” and “objective” differences between “us” and “them” are at work to justify everyday discrimination against migrants and their institutional exclusion. These processes are also reflected in current political and public debates on the commodification and transnationalisation of care.

Authors:   Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University, Nesik Lina , Lykhoshved Nataliya ,   Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University
Published: August 2022

Background. The article examines the effect of using interactive techniques to build writing competence in Linguistics majors. The review of literature on the topic under discussion has enabled making a conclusion that interactive techniques used in teaching writing skills appear an important teaching aid that enhances the development of natural abilities of the learners and increases cognitive interest in learning a foreign language. Theoretically, however, the problem is underresearched in the Ukrainian context. Therefore, the topicality of the research is ensured by the existence of the difficulties in using interactive techniques in teaching writing skills to Linguistics majors caused by the absence of specially formulated tasks for this purpose. Purpose. The paper aims at investigating the use of interactive techniques to build writing competence in Linguistics majors. Methodology relies on the critical analysis of the available research on the topic as well as of the authors’ experience in using interactive techniques in teaching writing. Results. The article gives insight into the concept of "writing skills", psychological and linguistic characteristics of students majoring in Linguistics as well as into the process of building writing competence. It also describes the principles of using interactive techniques in building writing competence. The authors present a set of exercises to enhance the students’ writing competence. The exercises that rely on basic characteristics of interactive techniques are aimed at developing writing skills to construct, edit and correct the text at different stages of its creation. The system of exercises includes 4 subsystems, each of which consists of exercises to teach writing in accordance with one of the areas of communication. The authors analyze the components of interactive technology, namely, value, activity and process, which are gradually realized, respectively, at different stages of teaching writing.

Published: August 2022

Background. The modern education system is aimed at developing a personality capable of communicating in various forms. Foreign language classes are no exception. In Ukraine, however, there is still a lack of high school students' ability to engage in dialogue or discussion in English. Consequently, the methods and approaches of teaching English require revisiting in order to involve as large a student audience as possible in the productive teaching of oral communication. This can be achieved through the use of YouTube videos to optimize students' activities in the process of building the competence in spoken dialogue. Purpose. The article aims to give a theoretical review and develop the techniques to enhance the competence in English spoken dialogue through YouTube in grade 11 schoolers. Results and Discussion. The article examines the effectiveness and advantages of using YouTube videos for the enhancement of competence in English spoken dialogue. It presents the criteria for selecting YouTube videos and communicative situations, provides a list of possible topics and spheres of communication to teach oral dialogue, offers a number of YouTube channels and videos which can be used in the process of teaching. The communicative situations are offered within the three main spheres of communication: personal, public, and educational. Within the educational sphere, the authors have added the topic of career guidance, which will show students a variety of ways to identify and realize abilities and professional inclinations. The authors have developed a system of exercises based on the use of YouTube tools to build competence in English spoken dialogue in grade 11schoolers. The designed exercises prove that YouTube videos can be used at any stage of teaching English dialogue and with students of different levels of performance and training.
Role Play in an English Classroom as an Effective Method to Develop Grammar Competence in Grade 7 Schoolers
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Semyan Nataliia , Svitashova Yuliia ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: August 2022

Background. The article considers the effectiveness of role play as a tool to develop grammar competence of 7th- grade students in a secondary school. Based on the assumptions made from literature as well as lesson observations (teaching internship), applying knowledge of English grammar to speaking activity is still a great difficulty for Ukrainian 7th grade students. Purpose. Thus, the paper aims at investigating the pedagogical essence and practical value of a role play in English language classes in a secondary school. Methodology relies on the critical analysis of the available research on the topic as well as of the authors’ experience in using role plays in teaching grammar. Results and discussion. Grammar knowledge plays a crucial role in developing both receptive and productive language skills: from understanding the meaning by recognizing grammar forms to producing messages based on the purposeful use of these forms in communication. The review of literature on the topic under discussion has revealed that role play as a communicative activity is beneficial in developing 7th- graders’ grammar competence provided it is not overused in the classroom. It encourages students to express themselves, provides self-confidence and opportunity for practicing the rules of social behavior in the process of communication. Additionally, the use of this technique boosts students’ creativity and fluency through active participation of learners in various communicative situations presented in the English language class. The research proves that role play in teaching English grammar to secondary school students can be an effective way to modernize educational process and motivate learners for intercultural communication. The prospective of further research lies in creating a set of role plays based on the national curriculum for 7th- grade students.
Development and Characterization of a Chemically Crosslinked Polyvinyl Alcohol/Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel for Nucleus Pulposus Replacement
Authors:   , Binetti Valerie Regina , Lowman Anthony M.
Published: August 2022

Low back pain caused by intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the most common spinal disorders among patients seeking medical treatment. The most common surgical treatments for disc degeneration are spinal fusion and total disc arthroplasty; both of which are very invasive surgical procedures. Spinal fusion results in a loss of spinal mobility and increased stress on adjacent intervertebral discs and while total disc arthroplasty retains spinal mobility it is not FDA approved for multilevel replacement. Nucleus pulposus replacement is an earlier stage intervention for disc degeneration before multilevel interventions are necessary. One of the material classes being studied for this application is hydrogel: a three-dimensional hydrated network of polymer(s), which mimics the mechanical and physiological properties of the nucleus. Previous nucleus replacement materials have included the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) class of hydrogels and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogels; the PNIPAAm hydrogel disadvantages are the mechanical properties and implant shrinkage. While the PVA/PVP have the desired mechanical properties, they are molded into string form and injected percutaneously through a cannula. Due to this implantation method, there are issues with implant movement and expulsion from the injection site. This is due to the fact that the implant is a coiled string. PVA, PVP and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels have previously been shown to be great candidate materials for injectable nucleus pulposus replacement, but have experienced issues with swelling and mass retention. The addition of chemical crosslinking to the PVA/PVP/PEG hydrogel system will allow tailoring of the swelling, mechanical, injectability and mass loss properties of the hydrogel network. Two chemical crosslinking methods were evaluated for the PVA/PVP/PEG hydrogel system, resulting in the selection of a difunctional crosslinking strategy using PEG functionalized with terminal epoxide group (PEG diglycidyl ether) (PEG-DGE). The PVA/PVP/PEG-DGE hydrogel system was characterized by compression and swelling experiments and then the structure-property relationship was determined with the addition of morphology, spectroscopy and crystallinity analysis. A purification technique was developed and optimized to reduce the mass loss of the hydrogel network and then the structure-property relationship of the new purified gel was investigated due to a change in the gelation mechanism of the network after purification. The unpurified and purified hydrogel formulations have mechanical and swelling properties in the desired range for nucleus replacement, in addition, the purified hydrogel showed low cytotoxicity. Also, the swelling mechanics of the hydrogel formulations were characterized in model osmotic solutions to simulate the intradiscal environment.

Microbes are everywhere and yet remain mostly invisible to our understanding of how nature and the environment interact. Here, I present a set of studies which show how environment influences the makeup of microbial populations (or microbiome), and how they in turn influence their environment. I focus on two separate systems and questions - the first being - can I find an impact of the microbiome in a physiological disease unrelated to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). To accomplish this, I characterized the microbiome of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract from multiple people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and showed that it differs significantly from the microbiome found in healthy individuals. I next widened my scope and tried to identify how environment and history influenced the basic nucleotide architecture of microbes. This is important as such factors are the underpinnings of what is possible in the evolution of amino acid and proteins. I characterized the nucleotide composition of the ten major phyla found across 14 different environments (in each of which there were between 1 and 111 samples). I found that nucleotide composition correlated across phylum by environment and by sample. This implies that both phylogeny and environment influence nucleotide composition beyond the selection of specific function. This is related to a current project where I describe what environmental determinants could influence microbial nucleotide composition. Some preliminary results indicate that it may be a nucleotide arms race with the microbial infecting phages. For the present, my research has shown that in studying the evolution of microbes (and living systems in general) the influence of the environment is much more deep-seated than previously considered. This has implications both for bioinformatic methodological applications, but more importantly for our general understanding of how and at what (time) scale selection works in evolution.

Las precipitaciones extremas representan uno de los eventos naturales climáticos más importantes y pueden originar inundaciones devastadoras. De junio a agosto del 2014 se registró una de las más graves inundaciones en la historia de la ciudad de Asunción. Ocasionó un incremento considerable del nivel del río Paraguay y el desplazamiento de 300.000 personas a campamentos provisionales. Debido a que el contacto directo con el agua de inundación, el consumo de agua contaminada y la congregación de los afectados en refugios provisorios son factores de riesgo para enfermedades infecciosas, el objetivo de este estudio fue la implementación de una metodología estandarizada para la concentración y detección de virus entéricos y micobacterias no tuberculosas, por PCR en tiempo real y PCR-asociada al análisis de restricción enzimática (PRA), en muestras de agua de inundaciones y el reporte de los patógenos detectados en las zonas afectadas de Asunción y en la Bahía del Río Paraguay. La metodología propuesta demostró poseer buena sensibilidad y se registró la presencia de rotavirus, norovirus (genogrupos I y II), astrovirus, adenovirus entéricos y micobacterias no tuberculosas en 50% (N=4/8) de las muestras de los barrios Sajonia, San Jerónimo y Ricardo Brugada, Chacarita. Además, reportamos datos secundarios de casos de enfermedades infecciosas, registrados en los servicios de salud de los barrios afectados durante el periodo de inundación.

Published: August 2022

El principal vector intradomiciliar del Trypanosoma cruzi en el Cono Sur de América Latina ha sido el Triatoma infestans. En la última década se ha declarado la interrupción de transmisión de la enfermedad por esta especie en varias áreas endémicas. El T. cruzi interactúa con triatominos silvestres y reservorios mamíferos, por ello hay un riesgo permanente de la invasión de viviendas por especies secundarias como T. sordida y nativas de focos selváticos como: T. guasayana, T. guasu, Panstrongylus geniculatus, P. megistus que deben ser vigiladas para evitar el proceso de colonización de las viviendas. El objetivo fue evaluar el potencial riesgo de transmisión de la enfermedad de Chagas por especies secundarias de triatominos capturados en etapa de vigilancia entomológica en áreas endémicas de las regiones Oriental y Occidental del país. Se aplicaron técnicas moleculares asociadas a indicadores entomológicos a un total de 759 ejemplares de 4 especies de triatominos capturados en las dos regiones. Se detectó colonización del 19% por la especie T. sordida en viviendas del Departamento de Concepción. De las especies T. guasayana, T. guasu, P. geniculatus consideradas especies del ambiente selvático, se capturó al menos 1 ejemplar en cada departamento en el intradomicilio. De 759 ejemplares analizados, se detectaron 17 con infección natural con T. cruzi (2,2%), de los cuales 2 eran de P. geniculatus y 1 de T. guasayana, ambos del intradomicilio. Estos hallazgos ponen en evidencia que existe un potencial riesgo de transmisión de T. cruzi por estas especies de triatominos.
Southeastern U.S. CrossFit Coaches’ Legal Consciousness Regarding COVID-19 Restrictions
Authors: DeMartini Anne , Willett Jennifer
Published: August 2022

This study investigated the legal consciousness of CrossFit coaches in Georgia and Florida, in the United States, regarding government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions. Legal consciousness can create a framework that allows us to understand how coaches’ behaviors may be consistent with, or different from, those that the law predicts. The researcher conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with a diverse sample. The uncompensated interviews lasted from 15 to 45 minutes and asked for the coaches’ thoughts on restrictions placed on gyms due to the pandemic. Utilizing this socio-legal theory as a lens, the study primarily found conformity to the law. However, there were examples of engagement with and resistance to the law. Coaches’ legal consciousness varied by ownership status, race, age, and political views. The findings support the idea that people make connections from their past experiences to shape their understanding of the law. This inter-disciplinary study contributes to the scant literature on legal consciousness applied to a sport and recreation context.
Touchdown Jesus? Analyzing Establishment Clause Concerns in Public University College Football
Authors: Lane Maxfield , Osborne Barbara
Published: August 2022

This research explores the history and evolution of the Establishment Clause from the Everson v. Board of Education (1947) separation of church and state framework, to the newly anointed accommodationist approach preferred in the Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022), within the context of college football at public universities. Player-led prayers, coach-led prayers, PA system-led prayer, the use of team chaplains, and other acts of religious expression are thoroughly discussed. College football coaches have a unique relationship with the student-athletes on their team, which includes examination of the Establishment Clause and the role of coercion (Chaudhuri v. Tennessee (1997); Lee v. Weisman, (1992); Mellen v. Bunting (2003). Similarly, the Supreme Court’s decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton (2022) to cast aside the Lemon Test analysis in favor of an approach that accommodates the traditional aspects of prayer applies the precedent from Marsh v. Chambers (1983) and Town of Greece v. Galloway (2014). While it is clear the use of team chaplains, coaches who actively proselytize at public institutions, and the use of the PA system for prayer at public institutions violates the Establishment Clause, coaches who engage in quiet, private prayer do not under the precedent established in Kennedy v. Bremerton (2022). However, this recent Supreme Court ruling leaves a large gray area of unanswered application relative to player-led team prayers, having a team prayer, coach-led prayer that is not quiet and private, and the role of coercion in the legal analysis.

Síndrome de vena cava inferior y trombosis venosa profunda como manifestación clínica de tuberculosis ganglionar diseminada en un paciente de 6 años. Informe de caso
Authors: Arenas Rojas Adriana Marcela , Gómez Alzate Deisy Tatiana , Sánchez Peñaranda María Del Mar , Ortiz Lizcano Carlos José
Published: August 2022

ANTECEDENTES: La tuberculosis es una enfermedad frecuente, causa de una considerable morbilidad y mortalidad en el mundo. Colombia tiene una incidencia intermedia de 25 casos por cada 100,000 habitantes y cerca del 6.5% de los nuevos casos ocurren en población pediátrica, quienes tienen riesgo aumentado de enfermedad diseminada y formas extrapulmonares.CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente masculino de 6 años, con masa cervical izquierda de un mes de evolución, asociada con desnutrición severa, hepatoesplenomegalia, ascitis, edema escrotal y edema grado III en los miembros inferiores. En la tomografía se le encontraron grupos ganglionares paratraqueales derechos, en el hilio pulmonar derecho y subcarinales, y conglomerado ganglionar retroperitoneal y mesentérico, con compresión extrínseca secundaria de la vena cava inferior, con hallazgo posterior de trombosis venosa profunda en el miembro inferior izquierdo. El estudio de patología confirmó el diagnóstico de tuberculosis ganglionar diseminada y se descartó la enfermedad oncológica.CONCLUSIÓN: Puesto que en la bibliografía se dispone de pocos registros que relacionen el síndrome de la vena cava inferior y trombosis venosa profunda con tuberculosis ganglionar, su diagnóstico es todo un reto. En Colombia persiste una alta incidencia de tuberculosis debido a múltiples factores socioculturales. El personal de salud está obligado a permanecer siempre alerta y tener en mente a la tuberculosis entre las posibilidades diagnósticas; debe sospecharse, incluso, en el caso de manifestaciones poco comunes, para así poder llegar a un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos.
“de l’imperfection”
Authors: Greimas Algirdas Julien
Published: August 2022

The book by Algirdas Julien Greimas (1917—1992), an outstanding French and Lithuanian semiotic and linguist, professor at the Higher School of Social Sciences in Paris, founder of the Paris Semiotic School, is devoted to the analysis of a number of literary texts: M. Tournier, I. Calvino, D. Tanizaki, H. Cortazar, R. M. Rilke, et al. The author's approach is an original combination of semiotics, philosophy and phenomenology, with the aim of presenting an aesthetic object as the end point of striving for perfection. Greimas suggests looking at human life as a sequence of often monotonous everyday events, which can be dealt with only in one way — through aesthetic experiences that give life a higher dimension and endow it with meaning. Greymas is known to European and Russian readers primarily as the creator of the “semiotic square” and the “narrative scheme” of the text, as well as the “semiotics of passions”, together with his student and co-author Jacques Fontanieux. The work “On imperfection” became the basis of later directions of semiotics of the Paris school of the beginning of the 21st century: semiotics of the sensual, bodily semiotics, semiotics of life forms. The book is published in Russian for the first time. The publication is of interest to a wide range of specialists in the humanities and can be used as an additional textbook in university courses on semiotics, philosophy, literary studies, art history.

Published: August 2022

The study aims at comparing the Hungarian results of the questions on the frequency of personal and distance contact with relatives and friends in the 2006 and 2015 ad hoc modules of EU-SILC. According to our results, in line with the findings of previous Hungarian research, compared to 2006, there were fewer contacts in Hungary in 2015. Relations with friends, especially those held in person, were less exposed to weakening compared to relations with relatives. Among the different social groups, the already disadvantaged were typically negatively affected by either the change in intensity or the structure of relationships. However, the situation of the elderly and the inhabitants of deprived households deteriorated in all three dimensions examined: their re­lations weakened more strongly, and those related to relatives and personal ones further narro­wed by 2015. This result indicates that the social disintegration of these groups has accelerated particularly between the two years, which poses a serious social policy challenge.
Accuracy of IOL Power Calculation Formulas for AcrySof SN60WF versus Tecnis ZCB00 Intraocular Lenses
Authors: Jiang Cynthia , Hodson Noah , Johnson Daniel , Kheirkhah Ahmad
Published: August 2022

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of various intraocular lens power formulas for two monofocal hydrophobic foldable lenses, the AcrySof SN60WF and the Tecnis ZCB00.
Methods: This retrospective study included 409 eyes from 409 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery (299 eyes with SN60WF and 110 eyes with ZCB00). Biometry was performed for all eyes with an IOLMaster 700. Predicted refraction from five different IOL power formulas (Barrett Universal II, Haigis, Hoffer-Q, Holladay 2, and SRK/T) was compared to postoperative refraction at one to three months for the following axial length strata: short eyes (<22.5 mm), medium eyes (22.5–25.5 mm), and long eyes (>25.5 mm).
Results: In patients with medium eyes, there were no significant differences in the mean absolute error (MAE) and the percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D (%±0.5 D) between both IOLs. In short eyes, although MAE was similar between both lenses, %±0.5 D was significantly higher for Barrett Universal II in ZCB00 than in SN60WF (P = 0.01) while Hoffer-Q and Holladay 2 performed equally for both lenses. In long eyes, ZCB00 had a higher MAE than SN60WF for Barrett Universal II, Haigis, and Hoffer-Q. Additionally, in long eyes, the percentage of eyes within %±0.5 D was significantly higher for SN60WF than ZCB00 for all formulas (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Although there were no significant differences in the formula accuracy between these two lenses in medium eyes for all formulas and in short eyes for most formulas, the accuracy decreased significantly in long eyes for ZCB00 compared to SN60WF. The effect of IOL model on the postoperative outcomes should be further investigated.

Authors: Karimi Saeed , Parvizi Farhad , Arabi Amir , Shahraki Toktam , Safi Sare
Published: August 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic response of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) to intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) with and without concomitant vitamin D supplementation.
Method: Seventy eyes of 68 patients with macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) received three monthly IVB injections. Patients with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) higher than 30 ng/ml were considered as the sufficient group. Cases with serum 25(OH) D levels below 30 ng/ml were randomized into the treatment and control groups. The control group received 50,000 IU of oral vitamin D, weekly for two months. One month after the last IVB injection, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured and compared with the preinjection values.
Results: While 43 eyes (61.4%) of 42 patients had BRVO, 27 eyes (38.6%) of 26 patients had CRVO. In BRVO patients, changes of CMT and BCVA were not significantly different between the sufficient, control, and treatment groups (P = 0.58 and 0.64, respectively). In the CRVO group, CMT reduction in the control group was significantly less than the sufficient and treatment groups (P = 0.048). In addition, improvement of BCVA in the control group was significantly less (P = 0.036) than the sufficient and treatment groups.
Conclusion: Oral vitamin D supplement therapy may improve anatomical and functional outcomes in patients with CRVO and vitamin D deficiency.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) photo-stimulation in the management of persistent subfoveal fluid (PSF) after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: In this pilot study, 11 eyes of 11 patients (8 men, 3 women) with long-lasting (12–18 months) PSF after surgery for RRD were evaluated before and after photostimulation with subthreshold micropulse yellow laser. Ophthalmic examination included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Amsler grid test, ophthalmoscopy, autofluorescence (AF), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) with measurement of central point foveal thickness (CPFT). Primary outcome was subfoveal fluid resolution and secondary outcome was BCVA improvement.
Results: The mean CPFT and BCVA were, respectively, 436.8 ± 28.8 μm and 0.25 ± 0.1 μm decimal equivalent (DE) before photostimulation and 278 ± 54.4 μm and 0.57 ± 0.2 μm DE after photostimulation, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Nine (81.8%) eyes showed improved BCVA, disappearance of macular detachment on ophthalmoscopy, reduced retinal pigment epithelium distress on AF, and restored macular profile with no neuroretinal alterations on OCT scans.
Conclusion: Although PSF after RRD surgery is often a self-limiting disease, our results suggest that SML photostimulation may be effective and safe in patients with clinically significant long-lasting PSF. Larger case–control studies are necessary to confirm these results.
Update on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Conjunctival Melanoma
Authors: Sa Ho-Seok , Daniel Claire , Esmaeli Bita
Published: August 2022

The management of conjunctival melanoma is challenging due to the more frequent local recurrence and metastasis compared to other conjunctival neoplasms. Locally advanced conjunctival melanoma may require an orbital exenteration, and treatment options for metastatic conjunctival melanoma have been limited until recently. This review aims to provide comprehensive updates on immunotherapy for conjunctival melanoma, focusing on immune checkpoint inhibitors. We reviewed the available literature on the use of immunotherapy for the treatment of conjunctival melanoma. Systemic immunotherapy, particularly with checkpoint inhibitors, has recently been reported to have improved outcomes for patients with conjunctival melanoma. Immune checkpoint inhibitors that are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for melanoma include anti-PD-1 (nivolumab and pembrolizumab), anti- PDL-1 (avelumab and atezolizumab), and anti-CTLA-4 inhibitors (ipilimumab). Most recent reports described using immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with locally advanced conjunctival melanoma in an attempt to avoid orbital exenteration or in patients with metastatic conjunctival melanoma. Although the current data are limited to case reports and small case series, eye care providers should be aware of the potential role of immunotherapy for patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic conjunctival melanoma.

Este artigo analisa o desempenho alcançado pelos estudantes do 2º ano do ensino fundamental em grandezas e medidas, descrito nos níveis da escala de proficiência de Matemática do Saeb 2019, cotejando com o ensino desse eixo do conhecimento no contexto escolar. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e descritivo que adotou em seu processo de investigação o procedimento documental. A referência na análise pedagógica adota as definições: Não atingiu o Nível Suficiente, Nível Suficiente e Nível Desejável. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos estudantes que participaram do Saeb 2EF de 2019 dominam habilidades aferidas por itens que envolvem contextos que lhes são familiares. Pequeno número de estudantes localiza-se no Nível Suficiente, superam o grau básico de dificuldades e dominam conhecimentos em grandezas e medidas acima da média. Os altos níveis da escala de proficiência, Nível Desejável, concentram itens que aferem as habilidades de maior complexidade, foram alcançados por um número reduzido de estudantes que apresentam desempenho compatível com a etapa de escolarização avaliada. As reflexões revelam que o ensino de grandezas e medidas continua requerendo atenção da escola e dos professores e propostas pedagógicas que auxiliem o estudante a compreender, dar significado e sistematizar as aprendizagens desses conteúdos matemáticos.

La adicción a redes sociales es un fenómeno de creciente interés; su ocurrencia tiene impactos negativos sobre los adolescentes, sugiriendo la necesidad de contar con instrumentos idóneos de evaluación. El objetivo fue validar el cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales–ARS a través de la revisión de expertos y el análisis de sus propiedades psicométricas con una muestra incidental de 421 adolescentes (50.8% mujeres) de Pasto, Colombia (11-19 años; M = 15.63; SD = 1.34). Se logró una adecuada adaptación lingüística y óptima validez de contenido y consistencia interna; el análisis factorial confirmatorio y de invarianza evidenciaron validez estructural para tres componentes: obsesión por las redes sociales, falta de control personal y uso excesivo de las redes sociales. Se reconoció adecuada validez comparada frente al Internet Addiction Test-IAT. El cuestionario ARS es el primer instrumento validado en Colombia en beneficio de los procesos clínicos y los programas de prevención e intervención de esta conducta.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar como a capacidade absortiva pode gerar inovação dentro de um Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de móveis na cidade de Marco, no interior do Ceará. Tal estudo se deu em cinco empresas inseridas no polo moveleiro do Marco, Cidade do Estado do Ceará que, configura-se como 8º arranjo produtivo local do país, e com o presidente da associação local. Caracteriza-se como um estudo qualitativo, utilizando-se como instrumento para coleta de dados um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado, pesquisa documental e a técnica de observação, como forma de complementar a coleta de dados. O estudo mostra como uma nova relação entre empresas se manifesta dentro de um ambiente dinâmico ainda considerado incipiente se comparado a outros locais ou países. Baseado na análise dos dados salienta-se que a capacidade absortiva se caracteriza por meio de mecanismos desenvolvidos pelas próprias empresas em níveis diferentes, o que traz inovação em algumas áreas, como produtos, processos ou serviços desenvolvidos. O Arranjo Produtivo Local do Marco torna-se referência numa região onde a capacidade produtiva e as competências se tornam diferencial para o pleno desenvolvimento da região.

O estudo da remuneração executiva e da sustentabilidade empresarial possibilita entender os conflitos decorrentes da Teoria da Agência, assim como da Teoria dos Stakeholders e a busca pelo valor no longo prazo. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre a sustentabilidade empresarial e a remuneração executiva em companhias listadas na Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão (B3 S.A), no lapso temporal de 2015 a 2018. De natureza quantitativa, a pesquisa utilizou-se da estatística descritiva, com a indicação de máximos e mínimos, média e desvios-padrão; teste de médias e da análise de correspondência múltipla (ACM). Como métrica da remuneração executiva, utilizou-se a remuneração total, coletada no Formulário de Referência (FR) de cada empresa no website da B3, e a sustentabilidade empresarial foi mensurada a partir da participação no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE). Com os resultados, notou-se uma média de remuneração executiva em empresas sustentáveis, superior à média das empresas não sustentáveis, evidenciando que as empresas sustentáveis remuneram melhor seus executivos, o que foi ratificado através do teste de médias. Através da ACM, verificou-se uma associação positiva entre remuneração executiva, sustentabilidade empresarial e governança corporativa.

Embora o sistema de clubes para a organização de esportes de elite esteja desaparecendo em alguns lugares, ainda é uma maneira popular para organizar os eventos esportivos e recreativos, e alguns clubes continuam comprometidos em servir aos associados como uma organização esportiva de alto rendimento. Esta pesquisa aplicada tem como objetivo validar a aderência dos controles gerenciais propostos pelo modelo dos Sistemas de Controle Gerencial (SCG) como um pacote à luz do estudo de Malmi e Brown (2008), em Clubes Poliesportivos. O procedimento técnico é método do estudo de caso único, aplicado em um Clube Poliesportivo pelo critério de relevância nacional e internacional, para a explicação do fenômeno contemporâneo, dentro de seu contexto real. Os dados apontam que os controles gerenciais do Clube possibilitam os gerentes em atuar para que os funcionários executem as atividades de acordo com os objetivos da organização e mostram que há conectividade entre eles conforme comparação dos achados empíricos mapeados com a Teoria, concluindo que os controles gerenciais em Clubes Poliesportivos podem funcionar de acordo com os SCG como um pacote.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, à luz da ecologia política, as práticas agropecuárias e de manejo dos recursos naturais dos agricultores familiares do Sertão Paraibano, frente às exigências legais de proteção da natureza. O arcabouço teórico utilizado permite compreender que a apropriação e o uso dos recursos naturais são organizados por relações sociais e de poder que pressionam o meio ambiente, de modo que o lucro de alguns pode representar a pobreza de outros e que a degradação da terra pode ser o resultado e a causa da exclusão social. A metodologia pautou-se na formulação de um perfil agrário e agrícola, para mensurar a participação da agricultura familiar na produção local; e na realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os agricultores familiares, para entender as práticas produtivas e as estratégias para superar as limitações impostas pela legislação ambiental vigente. Os resultados demonstraram que os agricultores familiares não conhecem plenamente a legislação ambiental brasileira e que a proibição do cultivo e da criação de animais em áreas de preservação permanente limita o potencial produtivo e fragiliza ainda mais a agricultura familiar.
