Foreign language teacher preparation in Slovakia and Poland from skills to competences
Authors: Kováčiková Elena , Kic-Drgas Joanna
Published: January 2024

The paper discusses the challenges of foreign language teacher preparation in Slovakia and Poland resulting from observed tendencies such as digitalisation, mobility and specialisation of disciplines. The background for these reflections on the state of teacher training education is the document European Profile for Language Teacher Education – a Frame of Reference (2004) and DigComp 2.2 The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (2022), which point out the main fields essential for the development of high-quality foreign language teachers in terms of digital, life and entrepreneurial competences. The authors of the paper analyze example curricula at two universities, one in Poland (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań) and one in Slovakia (Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra) to answer the following research questions: how will future foreign language teachers be supported in developing their competences at the tertiary level? How do the current foreign language teacher training curricula at universities in Slovakia and Poland incorporate the need for the development of new competences? The results of the analysis present the discrepancies at both universities in the way the recommendations concerning competence development are incorporated, however they also reveal the weaknesses and strengths of the existing solutions.
IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI)-related education and training materials through InChI Open Education Resource (OER)

Published: January 2024

The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) is a structure-based chemical identifier that encodes various aspects of a chemical structure into a hierarchically layered line notation. Because InChI is non-proprietary, open-source, and freely available to everyone, it is adopted in popular chemical information resources and software programs. This paper describes the InChI Open Education Resource (OER) (https://www.inchi-trust.org/oer/), designed to provide educators and other interested parties with resources, training material, and information related to InChI. Currently, the OER contains over 100 materials collected from various sources and provides users with search, filtering, and sorting functionalities to locate specific records. New relevant materials can be suggested by anyone, allowing the scientific community to share and find InChI-related resources. This paper will show how to use the InChI OER tag taxonomy to filter content and demonstrate two resources within the InChI OER; the ChemNames2LCSS Google Sheet and the InChILayersExplorer, an Excel spreadsheet that breaks an InChI into its layers. While the InChI OER is of value to a broader chemistry community, this paper seeks to reach out to chemical educators and provide them with an understanding of InChI and its role in the practice of science.
Eigenfunctions in Finsler Gaussian solitons
Authors: Liu Caiyun , Yin Songting
Published: January 2024

Gaussian solitons are important examples in the theory of Riemannian measure space. In the first part, we explicitly characterize the first eigenfunctions of the drift Laplacian in a Gaussian shrinking soliton, which shows that apart from each coordinate function, other first eigenfunctions must involve exponential functions and the so-called error functions. Moreover, the second eigenfunctions are also described. In the second part, we discuss the corresponding issues in Finsler Gaussian shrinking solitons, which is a natural generalization of Gaussian shrinking solitons. For the first eigenfunction, we complement an example to show that if a coordinate function is a first eigenfunction, then the Finsler Gaussian shrinking soliton must be a Euclidean measure space. For the second eigenfunction, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for these spaces to be Euclidean measure spaces.
Numerical investigation of the flow characteristics involving dissipation and slip effects in a convectively nanofluid within a porous medium
Authors: Babatin Mohammed M. , Khader Mohamed M. , Megahed Ahmed M.
Published: January 2024

The aim of the present research is to discuss the numerical aspects of heat-mass transfer in power-law nanofluids on an stretched surface. In addition, the novelty in this research lies in its thorough exploration and incorporation of parameters such as viscous dissipation, slip velocity, and convective boundary conditions into the analysis. This distinguishes the study from previous work and underscores its originality. For non-Newtonian fluids, a power-law model is employed, while the nanofluid system associate the influences of thermophoresis and the Brownian motion. The fluid’s thermal conductivity is considered to change based on temperature, while the concentration of nanoparticles at the surface is maintained at a constant level. A heated fluid situated beneath the lower surface can act as a heat convection mechanism source. A process of similarity transformation is employed to simplify the equations related to the mass, momentum, thermal energy, and nanoparticle concentration into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations are then treated numerically with the help of the shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the sixth order and the spectral collocation method. The proposed technique reduces the existing problem into a system of algebraic equations formulated as a constrained optimization challenge. Subsequently, the optimization technique is applied to determine the unknown coefficients of the series solution. Graphical representations depict the impacts of nanofluid parameters. A quantitative assessment is presented in a tabular format to illustrate a comparison with previously published results for specific scenarios, revealing a notable level of agreement.

Published: January 2024

Modeling several physical events leads to the Bagley–Torvik equation (BTE). In this study, we have taken into account the BTE, including the Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu derivatives. It becomes challenging to find the analytical solution to these kinds of problems using standard methods in many circumstances. Therefore, to arrive at the required outcome, numerical techniques are used. The Laplace transform is a promising method that has been utilized in the literature to address a variety of issues that come up when modeling real-world data. For complicated functions, the Laplace transform approach can make the analytical inversion of the Laplace transform excessively laborious. As a result, numerical techniques are utilized to invert the Laplace transform. The numerical inverse Laplace transform is generally an ill-posed problem. Numerous numerical techniques for inverting the Laplace transform have been developed as a result of this challenge. In this article, we use the Weeks method, which is one of the most efficient numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. In our proposed methodology, first the BTE is transformed into an algebraic equation using Laplace transform. Then the reduced equation solved the Laplace domain. Finally, the Weeks method is used to convert the obtained solution from the Laplace domain into the real domain. Three test problems with Caputo–Fabrizio and Atangana–Baleanu derivatives are considered to demonstrate the accuracy, effectiveness, and feasibility of the proposed numerical method.
Joint optimization of two-dimensional warranty period and maintenance strategy considering availability and cost constraints
Authors: Cheng Junkai
Published: January 2024

Warranty can improve customer satisfaction and increase product sales, but it will bring additional economic burden to manufacturers, so making reasonable warranty decisions is particularly important. The current research focuses more on the interests of manufacturers, while there is less attention paid to indicators that consumers are concerned about, such as system availability. To solve this problem, a joint optimization model of the two-dimensional warranty period and preventive maintenance (PM) strategy considering availability and cost constraints was established. Based on the failure dependence analysis of multi-component systems, the actual failure rate function is constructed by using the failure dependence coefficient matrix. Based on the comprehensive consideration of imperfect PM and minimum maintenance, the two-dimensional warranty cost model and system availability model are established, respectively. Aiming at maximum availability and considering the warranty cost budget constraint, a joint optimization model of the two-dimensional warranty period and PM strategy was built, and a model-solving algorithm combining grid search and binary search was introduced. The effectiveness of the model is verified by the case analysis, and the necessity of the PM strategy and considering failure dependence are reflected in the model comparative analysis and parameter sensitivity analysis. Finally, reasonable suggestions are put forward for manufacturers’ warranty decisions through the result analysis.
Camus, la libertad como límite y afirmación de sí mismo
Authors: García Aguilar Juan Francisco
Published: January 2024

La realización del sí mismo representa un cometido que interpela a nuestra propia identidad humana. La heterogeneidad y riqueza de las voces que hablan sobre el cómo responder a ello demandan una deliberación atenta y mesurada. Para algunos, esta tarea supone un alto costo intersubjetivo que eventualmente nos vemos orillados a pagar. Para otros, es apremiante establecer un límite a tal importe para, precisamente, salvaguardar al sí mismo. En esta escena, la propuesta reflexiva de Albert Camus nos ofrece un sensato balance que nos permite situar las coordenadas en las que la conducción de la particular existencia se traduce en una realización compartida.
Apropiación y crítica de Heidegger en el joven Marcuse
Authors: Pineda Saldaña César Alberto
Published: January 2024

Antes de incorporarse al Institut für Sozialforschung, encabezado por Horkheimer y Adorno, el joven Herbert Marcuse propuso la idea de una fenomenología dialéctica, un diálogo entre el pensamiento de Marx y de Heidegger, elaborado entre 1928 y 1933, en el marco de su habilitación docente. Pero, con su posterior adhesión al naciente programa de teoría crítica, tal propuesta fue abandonada y ensombrecida por la obra posterior de su autor. El presente artículo busca, en primer lugar, mostrar en qué consistía tal fenomenología dialéctica (apropiación de Heidegger), con el objetivo de evaluar si ésta aún puede abonar al desarrollo de los estudios fenomenológicos. En segunda instancia, se indagan las razones filosóficas por las cuales dicho proyecto quedó suspendido (crítica de Heidegger). A partir de los resultados, se proponen algunas líneas de investigación que apuntan a la posibilidad de una reelaboración contemporánea de la fenomenología dialéctica.
Z historie libereckých lékáren do počátku 19. století
Authors: Bock Jiří
Published: January 2024

The article provides an overview of the history of pharmacies in Liberec during its golden age until the beginning of the 19th century, when pharmacists still obtained training for the profession by mere artisanal education. It notes the position of the pharmacist in the health care system and its administration, property law matters and the operation of pharmacies in the course of changing social conditions. He expands the existing knowledge on the basis of the research of archival sources and scientifi c literature. It moves the beginnings of direct pharmacy care in Reichenberg/Liberec to 1580s, when it was provided by the Zittau (Germany) pharmacy. The oldest pharmacy on the territory of today‘s Liberec was established at the end of the 16th century in the local castle and existed until 1645. The fi rst burgher‘s pharmacy was short-lived and operated only between years 1619–1625. Only from the end of the 1670s can we trace a complete line of pharmacists, they did not come from Bohemia until 1716. Their successors have been documented since 1726 as graduates of the pharmacy exam at the Prague Medical Faculty. But between 1745 and 1786 it was in disarray and only stabilized gradually and permanently with the settlement of pharmacists and their families in the city. In 1803, the oldest pharmacy in Liberec moved to No. 1-III on today‘s Dr. E. Beneš Square. The second pharmacy established in 1792 found a new location nearby in 1810 at No. 4-IV. Only these pharmacies served the town and its surroundings until the third pharmacy opened in 1873 and operated until 1950.

Zastosowanie nici P(LA/CL) jako metody małoinwazjnej symetryzacji twarzy przy porażeniu nerwu twarzowego
Authors: Jendrysik Bożena
Published: January 2024

Nerw twarzowy jest VII nerwem czaszkowym o skomplikowanym przebiegu, przewodzącym włókna nerwowe: ruchowe, czuciowe, smakowe i przywspółczulne. Jego porażenie prowadzi do zaburzeń zarówno funkcjonalnych, jak i estetycznych i psychologicznych, dlatego wczesna i prawidłowa diagnostyka oraz właściwie przeprowadzone leczenie są kluczem do skutecznej remisji objawów choroby. Najczęstszym typem porażenia jest idiopatyczne porażenie nerwu twarzowego – porażenie Bella, po którym u większości pacjentów dochodzi do samoistnej remisji objawów. U części pacjentów dochodzi jednak do trwałego uszkodzenia nerwu lub powrotu jedynie części jego funkcji, co jest wskazaniem do zastosowania dodatkowych metod leczniczych, wśród których wyróżnia się zastosowanie m.in.: nici liftingujących, toksyny botulinowej, lipotransferu lub kwasu hialuronowego. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie obecnych doniesień literaturowych, a także doświadczeń własnych dotyczących zastosowania nici liftingujących jako metody małoinwazjnej symetryzacji twarzy przy porażeniu nerwu twarzowego.

Porażenie nerwu twarzowego to schorzenie niosące ze sobą istotne konsekwencję, szczególnie gdy pojawia się we wczesnym okresie życia. Stanowi poważny problem kliniczny ze względu na początkowo niepewną etiologię, ograniczone możliwości leczenia oraz jego wyniki, a także na fakt, iż ma znaczne implikacje zarówno funkcjonalne, jak i estetyczne. U dzieci z trwałym wrodzonym lub nabytym porażeniem nerwu twarzowego na skutek urazów bądź wynikającym z leczenia zabiegowego choroby nowotworowej strategia terapeutyczna obejmuje techniki chirurgiczne powiązane z intensywną rehabilitacją. U dzieci z przetrwałym porażeniem nerwu twarzowego można rozważyć chirurgiczne techniki dynamicznej reanimacji twarzy w celu przywrócenia zarówno statycznej, jak i dynamicznej symetrii twarzy. Często wykonywaną interwencją jest transfer funkcjonujących unerwionych płatów mięśniowych. Materiał i metody Grupa badana objęła 6 pacjentów pediatrycznych w wieku 11–17 lat z rozpoznanym przetrwałym porażeniem nerwu twarzowego, leczonych chirurgicznie w celu odtworzenia funkcji mięśni mimicznych w latach 2018–2021. Wszyscy pacjenci ujęci w badaniu byli poddani leczeniu chirurgicznemu przy zastosowaniu wolnego neurowaskularnego płata z mięśnia smukłego uda (GF). Średni okres obserwacji wynosił 22 miesięcy (zakres: 15–29 miesięcy). W celu przeprowadzenia obiektywnej oceny powrotu funkcji przeniesionego unerwionego płata mięśniowego podczas leczenia oraz rekonwalescencji pooperacyjnej zastosowano system oceny nerwu twarzowego House’a-Brackmanna (HBGS). Wyniki W średnim czasie obserwacji, tj. 22 miesięcy, we wszystkich przypadkach wykazano minimum stopień 3 wg HBGS. Chociaż w niektórych przypadkach dopuszczalne są statyczne opcje rekonstrukcji, u pacjentów pediatrycznych, z uwagi na szerokie zdolności do plastyczności mózgu, korzyści z wykonania prawidłowej funkcjonalnej rekonstrukcji przy użyciu unerwionego wolnego płata mięśnia smukłego są bardzo duże i nie należy ich ignorować. Wnioski Chociaż dalsze badania powinny koncentrować się na wynikach funkcjonalnych, estetycznych i zgłaszanych przez pacjentów, wykonanie badań na dużej grupie badanych może prowadzić do utworzenia algorytmu klinicznego, który mógłby uprościć ocenę i skutecznie pomóc w leczeniu porażenia twarzy u dzieci.

Larwoterapia w leczeniu ran. Praca przeglądowa
Authors: Janeczko Julia M. , Bryś Katarzyna E.
Published: January 2024

Larwoterapia, znana także jako terapia larwalna lub MDT, polega na wykorzystaniu specjalnie hodowanych larw owadów, głównie z rodziny Calliphoridae, do leczenia ran. Proces ten opiera się na zdolności larw do oczyszczania ran poprzez mechaniczne usuwanie martwej tkanki oraz wydzielanie enzymów proteolitycznych, które rozkładają martwiczą tkankę i eliminują infekcje. Larwoterapia ma znaczący potencjał w leczeniu ran przewlekłych, zwłaszcza w kontekście oporności bakterii na antybiotyki i trudności w gojeniu. Larwy mogą usuwać biofilm bakteryjny oraz stymulować procesy regeneracji. Ich zdolności mechaniczne i biochemiczne są kluczowe w procesie oczyszczania ran, usuwania biofilmu i stymulowania procesów gojenia. Metoda ta ma wiele zalet w porównaniu do tradycyjnych metod leczenia ran. Larwy minimalizują uszkodzenie zdrowych tkanek, przyspieszają proces gojenia, redukują konieczność stosowania antybiotyków i skutecznie eliminują biofilmy bakteryjne. Mimo obiecujących efektów larwoterapia staje także przed wyzwaniami. Wymaga przeszkolenia personelu medycznego, dostosowania do indywidualnych przypadków pacjentów i monitorowania efektów terapii. Istnieje ryzyko przeniesienia chorób z larw na ludzi, ale odpowiednie procedury higieniczne minimalizują to zagrożenie. Niechęć personelu i pacjentów oraz dolegliwości bólowe stanowią dodatkowe wyzwania.
Jaskra jako kandydat do badań przesiewowych w Polsce

Published: January 2024

Jaskra stanowi jedną z głównych przyczyn utraty wzroku na świecie, obecnie dotyka niemal 2,2 miliarda osób. Prognozuje się wzrost liczby nowych zachorowań do 120 milionów rocznie w 2040 r. W Polsce szacuje się, że choruje na nią ok. 800 tysięcy osób. Bezobjawowy przebieg jaskry sprawia, że ok. 50% przypadków pozostaje niezdiagnozowana. Gdy pojawiają się objawy, choroba często jest już powikłana i stanowi znaczące obciążenie finansowe dla państwa. Czynnikiem ryzyka jaskry jest m.in. podwyższone ciśnienie śródgałkowe, które jako jedyne spośród wszystkich czynników można modyfikować, a tym samym zapobiegać progresji choroby. Leczenie jaskry obejmuje farmakoterapię i procedury zabiegowe. Opóźniona diagnoza często wymaga leczenia operacyjnego, które może prowadzić do ciężkich powikłań infekcyjnych, a nawet zapalenia gałki ocznej. Dla skuteczności leczenia jaskry istotne są współpraca pacjenta i przestrzeganie zaleceń lekarskich. Badania przesiewowe mogą przyczynić się do wczesnego wykrycia choroby, co może istotnie zmniejszyć zachorowalność i ryzyko groźnych powikłań. W kontekście jaskry otwartego kąta, która często przebiega bezobjawowo, istnieje potrzeba identyfikacji skutecznych metod przesiewowych. Rekomendacje oparte na badaniach wskazują, że skrining wśród osób z grupy ryzyka może być uzasadniony, natomiast dla ogólnej populacji brakuje wystarczających dowodów na jego zasadność. Brak jednoznacznego testu diagnostycznego i sporna opłacalność programów skriningowych stanowią wyzwania dla wdrożenia masowych badań. Wartościowe byłoby kontynuowanie badań nad skutecznością testów przesiewowych, identyfikacją subpopulacji oraz długoterminowym wpływem badań przesiewowych na zachorowalność i koszty opieki zdrowotnej. Poprawa dostępności skutecznych metod diagnostycznych i leczenia mogą istotnie przyczynić się do zmniejszenia obciążenia społecznego związanego z jaskrą.
Interpretation of Articles 1, 2 and 29 of the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR)in Case Law
Authors: Griškaitė Viktorija , Dikčiūtė Rūta
Published: January 2024

The CMR Convention applies to the carriage of goods by road. The first article of the Convention defines its scope. In order for the CMR Convention to apply to a contract for the carriage of goods by road, the carriage of goods must be carried in a vehicle for payment when the consignor and the consignee are in the territories of different State and when at least one of the parties to the contract is a member of this Convention. Even if shipments fall outside the scope of the CMR Convention, the parties may agree on the application of the Convention themselves, but this agreement must be clearly expressed. The second article of the CMR Convention adds that the Convention applies to all transport and in cases where a vehicle with cargo carries part of the road by sea, rail, inland waterway or air, but the cargo cannot be transshipped, which is very important when it is necessary to determine whether the Convention will apply to all or only part of the carriage. Article 29 of the CMR Convention indicates the conditions under which the carrier cannot use the provisions of the Convention regarding exemption from liability or limitation of liability. Intentional actions required for the application of Article 29 of the CMR Convention also include gross negligence and omission. The existence of objective and subjective criteria is necessary to establish awareness, which is required to prove actions caused by gross negligence, i.e., violation or non-observance of rules helping to ensure the safety of the cargo and deliberate actions or omissions, realizing that they may pose a threat to the cargo or increase the likelihood of its occurrence. However, it must be recognized that such actions or omissions of the carrier had a direct impact on the occurrence of damage to the cargo.
Preconditions for the Formation of the Institute of Lease of State-owned Land and its Evolution

Published: January 2024

The research work analyses the preconditions for the formation of the institute of lease of state-owned land, discussing the historical context of the emergence of such regulation, reviewing the development of legislation of this institute, the case law interpreting it and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. 

The formation of the institute of lease of state-owned land was mainly influenced by the prohibition of ownership of land by legal persons in the original wording of Article 47 of the Constitution, as well as by the peculiarities of the restitution and privatisation processes, which prevented the formation of private land masses, and became a prerequisite for the separation of the property complexes (i.e. the ownership of a land plot and the buildings on it).The authors of the paper, having studied the development of the regulation of state-owned land lease from 1992 to 2022, described state-owned land lease as an independent civil law institute, which combines the public law regulation method and strict principles of state property management with the general principles of civil relations (equality of the parties, inviolability of property, proportionality), and seeks to ensure the correct balance between the interests of society and the rights of the owner. The specific regulation of state-owned land lease in the legal system of the Republic of Lithuania and the wide spread of state-owned land lease relations have prevented the real implementation of the Roman law principle superficies solo cedit in Lithuanian property law: although this principle is established in the Civil Code, its exceptions are applied very often, thus preventing the actual dominance of the principle in the legal system of Lithuania.
The Institute of Acquisitive Prescription in Lithuania: Pathways ant Pitfalls
Authors: Darčkutė Gabija , Fominova Kamilia Edita
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the concept of the institute of acquisitive prescription, its purpose, conditions of application and occurance in practice, the legal acts that were in force in Lithuania in the past, the sources of Roman era and the jurisprudence. The work points out that in the era of Roman private law domination, the understanding of the acquisitive prescription is distinctive from what we have today. Nevertheless, the institute of acquisitive prescription is interpreted through the prism of prescription as an actual state. The work also discusses the problematic aspects of the institute: the exclusive inviolability of state property is questioned, the controversial nature of the absence of registration as a condition of legality. Taking into account the stated drawbacks of the institute, its possible changes and the associated possible benefits for both the state and people are also foreseen.
Determinants of late initiation for Antenatal Care follow-up among pregnant mothers attending public health centers at Jimma Town, South West Ethiopia, 2021: unmatched case-control study
Authors: Jihad Mohammed , Woldemichael Kifle , Gezehagn Yenealem
Published: January 2024

Background: The World Health Organization recommends that a woman without complications should have at least four antenatal care visits, the first of which should take place during the first trimester (not > 16 weeks). But a high proportion of pregnant women in most developing countries attended the first antenatal care at a late time. In Ethiopia, the magnitude of late antenatal care follow-up initiation is 64%, and in the study area, it is 68.7%. However, the determinants of the problem were not identified, particularly in the study area. Objective: To identify determinants of late antenatal care initiation among pregnant women attending antenatal care in public health centers in Jimma Town, South West Ethiopia, 2021. Methods: A facility-based unmatched case control study was conducted from May 1–30. The cases (n = 177) were mothers who attended their first antenatal care visit at >= 16 weeks of gestational age, and the controls (n = 177) were mothers who attended their first antenatal care visit at <16 weeks of gestational age during the data collection period. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire. Descriptive and summary statistics were done. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0 to identify candidate variables at P-value <0.25 and determinants of late antenatal care initiation at P-value <0.05, respectively. Results: The current study identified that age > 25 years (AOR = 2.623, 95% CI 1.059– 6.496), poor knowledge about antenatal care (AOR = 3.856, 95% CI 1.266–11.750), lack of history of abortion (AOR = 3.326, 95% CI 1.082–10.224), place of previous delivery (AOR = 3.926, 95% CI 1.023–15.063), recognizing pregnancy through missed periods (AOR = 3.631, 95% CI 1.520–8.674), pregnancy-related pain (AOR = 3.499, 95% CI 1.423–8.603), and lack of family support (AOR = 2.647, 95% CI 1.092–6.415) were determinants of late antenatal care initiation. Conclusion: Age > 25 years, poor knowledge about antenatal care, lack of history of abortion, place of previous delivery, recognizing pregnancy through missed period, pregnancy related pain, and lack of family support during antenatal care booking were determinants of late antenatal care initiation. Health facilities and respective health care providers should provide health education at the facility level regularly, with due attention to late antenatal care initiation

Published: January 2024

Based on ten specimens, using morphometric, meristic and osteological characters, Astyanax leoni n. sp. is described from the upper Madre de Dios River drainage, Amazon River Basin of Peru. A. leoni n. sp. is a member of the Astyanax orthodus species group and is distinguished (except from A. multidens, A. villwocki, and A. gandhiae) in having an inconspicuous rod-shaped stripe on the caudal peduncle that extends anteriorly on top of a silver lateral stripe. It differs from the species mentioned above as follows: from A. multidens by having shorter chevron marks that cover up to only two series of scales above and below the apex of the chevron (vs. chevrons taller, with extensions that cover three series of scales); from A. villwocki by having chevron markings along the entire body (vs. no chevrons on the caudal peduncle); It differs from Astyanax gandhiae in having the caudal peduncle spot extending anteriorly to beyond the tip of the dorsal fin (vs. caudal peduncle spot not reaching anteriorly to tip of dorsal fin), and not of a uniform width as in A. villwocki. A dichotomous key to the species of Astyanax orthodus group is included.

OBJECTIVES

To examine 2 hospital oxygen saturation target policies and clinical outcomes in infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis.

METHODS

This multicenter cohort study used data collected from a randomized clinical trial of infants aged 4 weeks to 24 months, hospitalized with bronchiolitis at children’s and community hospitals from 2016 to 2019. We modeled the association between hospital oxygen saturation target policy, either 90% while awake and 88% while asleep (90%/88%) or 90% while awake and asleep (90%/90%), and clinical outcomes.

RESULTS

A total of 162 infants were enrolled at 4 hospitals using a 90%/88% oxygen saturation target and 67 infants at 2 hospitals using a 90%/90% target policy. No significant differences between the 90%/88% group and 90%/90% groups were observed for time to discharge (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–1.14; P = .25), initiation of supplemental oxygen (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.98; 95% CI, 0.47–2.02; P = .95), time to discontinuation of supplemental oxygen (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.44–1.27; P = .28), revisits (aOR, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.52–3.71; P = .52), and parent days missed from work (aOR, 2.41; 95% CI, 0.90–6.41; P = .08). Three infants in the 90%/88% group and none in the 90%/90% group were transferred to the ICU.

CONCLUSIONS

Among infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis, clinical outcomes were similar between a hospital oxygen saturation target policy of 90% while awake and 88% while asleep compared with 90% while awake and asleep. These findings may inform the design of future trials of oxygen saturation targets in bronchiolitis hospital care.

In 2020, midway through the Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network to Advance Care for Children with Medical Complexity project, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic erupted and caused significant disruptions for the 10 participating state teams, the project leadership, and collaborative partner organizations. Clinics shut down for in-person care, a scramble ensued to quickly leverage telehealth to fill the gap, and the trauma caused by anxiety, isolation, and exhaustion affected the health and wellbeing of children, families, and clinicians alike. We conducted a series of key informant interviews and surveys, alongside other process measures, to learn from state teams what it was like “on the ground” to try to continue improving care delivery, child quality of life, and family wellbeing under such upheaval. In this article, we synthesize qualitative and descriptive findings from these varied data sources within the framework of the trauma-informed principles we applied as a leadership team to prevent burnout, increase resilience, and maintain progress among all project participants, especially clinicians and the uniquely vulnerable family leaders. Lessons learned will be offered that can be applied to future natural and human-made emergencies that impact responsive pediatric care delivery improvement.

A literatura aponta relações entre comportamentos de adolescentes e práticas educativas, mas poucos estudos discriminam o tipo de problema, bem como examinam múltiplas variáveis simultaneamente O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi comparar as habilidades sociais, as práticas educativas e o uso de substâncias de adolescentes com problemas exclusivamente internalizantes ou externalizantes e com comorbidades (internalizante e externalizante) com um grupo de adolescentes sem problemas, em amostras separadas pelo sexo. Os adolescentes foram alocados nos grupos clínico e não clínico a partir do YSR, as variáveis sociais foram investigadas pelo IHSA, o uso abusivo de drogas pelo DUSI, e as práticas educativas pelo IEP. Para comparar os grupos, utilizou-se o Teste Mann Whitney e o qui-quadrado. As variáveis estaticamente significativas foram: habilidades sociais e práticas educativas (para meninos e meninas dos grupos externalizante e comorbidade), uso de drogas (meninas e externalizante); somente práticas educativas (para meninos e meninas do grupo internalizante).

Mais de três décadas do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente mostram importantes princípios éticos norteadores de políticas públicas e apontam desafios que abrem novos horizontes de reflexão e aperfeiçoamento. Este trabalho apresenta resultados parciais de uma pesquisa transdisciplinar e tem como objetivo analisar os possíveis efeitos subjetivos do atendimento socioeducativo a adolescentes autores de ato infracional. Foi realizada uma pesquisa documental, a partir de 373 PIAs e, posteriormente, foram localizados 14 desses adolescentes, que compartilharam conosco suas histórias de vida, a partir do método das narrativas memorialísticas, e responderam a um questionário acerca de suas trajetórias. Como resultado, encontramos indiferença, crítica e ressignificação como possíveis efeitos subjetivos das medidas socioeducativas. Concluímos que a trajetória infracional é sobredeterminada, demonstrando que a abertura a elementos contingentes na oferta do serviço socioeducativo pode ter ressonâncias emancipatórias.

Habilidades Sociais (HS) são comportamentos socialmente adequados, fundamentais à docência e à saúde mental. O estudo, quantitativo transversal, objetivou avaliar e verificar a relação entre HS e sintomas depressivos, de ansiedade, estresse e ansiedade social em 94 professores municipais do Ensino Fundamental (M = 43,12 anos; DP = 9,12). Utilizou-se o IHS2-Del-Prette, o CASO e a DASS-21. Da amostra, 63% (n = 59) apresentaram repertório de HS médio e altamente elaborado, 70% (n = 66) sem ansiedade social; 2% e 5% com sintomas depressivos e de ansiedade moderados ou severos. Conversação assertiva e HS em geral associaram-se negativamente com depressão, ansiedade, estresse e ansiedade social. Abordagem afetivo-sexual, Expressão de sentimento positivo e Autocontrole e enfrentamento associaram-se negativamente com ansiedade social. Desenvoltura social associou-se negativamente aos sintomas depressivos. Concluiu-se que os participantes possuíam HS satisfatórias, sintomas mínimos depressivos, de ansiedade e de estresse, e poucos sintomas de ansiedade social; quanto mais HS, menos sintomas psicopatológicos.

A evasão universitária é um fenômeno complexo, que se caracteriza pela decisão ativa do estudante em abandonar o curso. Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar a literatura científica (método PRISMA) acerca da evasão universitária dos últimos dez anos (2010 e 2019) no Portal dos Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. Dos 18 artigos analisados, as maiores frequências foram de estudos transversais, publicados entre 2016 e 2019, em periódicos das áreas de Psicologia e da Educação. Maiores frequências de investigações com discentes nos cursos da área “Negócios, administração e direito” e de instituições públicas. Os construtos associados à evasão foram vivências acadêmicas, adaptabilidade de carreira, satisfação com a instituição e autoeficácia na formação superior. Questionários sem estudos psicométricos anteriores foram os instrumentos mais utilizados para mensurar motivos para evasão. Outras discussões e recomendações são apresentadas no decorrer do artigo.

Published: January 2024

A gravidez é um momento de risco para alterações emocionais. Em período de covid-19, a ansiedade aumentou na população geral e, consequentemente, gestantes também se tornaram um grupo de maior risco. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de verificar a prevalência de sintomas de ansiedade em cada trimestre de gravidez em brasileiras em período de covid-19. Participaram 793 gestantes de todas as regiões do Brasil. Para avaliar os sintomas de ansiedade, foi utilizado o Instrumento de Rastreio de Sintomas de Ansiedade Gestacional e um questionário para informações sociodemográficas. Os resultados indicaram que 55% das gestantes no primeiro trimestre apresentavam ansiedade de moderada a alta e 52% apresentavam ansiedade no segundo e terceiro trimestre. Conclui-se que a prevalência de sintomas de ansiedade em gestantes no período de pandemia causada pela covid-19 superou a prevalência já identificada em estudos anteriores realizados fora do período de covid-19.

O objetivo deste estudo foi testar o poder preditivo das competências socioemocionais (CSE) nas seguintes facetas do desempenho contextual de professores do ensino fundamental: o clima para criatividade em sala de aula e a relação professor-aluno. Participaram deste estudo 90 professores da rede pública municipal de uma capital do nordeste brasileiro que lecionavam do 4º ao 9º ano do ensino fundamental. O estudo também contou com a participação de três alunos de cada professor. Os professores responderam sobre suas CSE e sua relação com os alunos que, por sua vez, responderam sobre o clima para criatividade em sala de aula. Foram realizadas análises de regressão linear simples. Os resultados indicaram que as CSE são preditoras da relação professor-aluno. Conclui-se que as CSE facilitam a criação de interações pessoais positivas e favoráveis à manifestação afetiva em sala de aula, ao passo que não são sufi cientes para explicar o clima para criatividade.

Nosso objetivo foi identificar as metas e as práticas de socialização parental que impactam a adaptação das crianças em suas famílias adotivas, assim como a percepção dos pais adotivos sobre interações de qualidade, desenvolvimento, desafios da adoção e estratégias utilizadas para lidar com os desafios. Foi realizado um grupo focal com seis participantes (cinco famílias) com filhos por adoção, todos residentes no estado do Espírito Santo. Os dados foram analisados com base na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. A Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano foi utilizada para compreender os resultados. As metas de socialização predominantes foram Auto aperfeiçoamento e Expectativas Sociais, o que demonstra metas relacionadas tanto na esfera individual quanto relacional. Este estudo servirá como base para o desenvolvimento de intervenções voltadas para pais adotivos, a fim de promover estratégias de socialização positivas que visam otimizar a adaptação das crianças adotivas em suas famílias, bem como promover o desenvolvimento infantil positivo.

Authors: Solórzano Vargas William
Published: January 2024

En este documento se presenta una propuesta de un modelo de evaluación orientado al aprendizaje de las personas estudiantes, el objetivo fundamental es aportar insumos que sean de utilidad práctica para el personal docente universitario, con la finalidad de contribuir a mejorar la compleja labor de la evaluación educativa. Está dirigido a los docentes de la educación superior de todas las disciplinas académicas; en él se pueden encontrar un conjunto de principios orientadores de un tipo de evaluación que fomenta el desarrollo de habilidades y propicia la adquisición de aprendizajes significativos en el estudiantado, en contraposición a la mera medición y calificación de conocimientos. Este modelo fue elaborado a partir de la revisión de la literatura existente y se nutre de los conocimientos generados en investigación, mediante entrevistas aplicadas a un grupo de docentes de la Sede de Occidente, de la Universidad de Costa Rica; quienes de manera generosa compartieron experiencias que les han resultado exitosas en materia evaluativa. Igualmente valiosos para la construcción de esta propuesta evaluativa han sido los aportes y sugerencias del estudiantado de tercero y cuarto año de las carreras de Bachillerato en la Enseñanza de la Matemática y del Bachillerato en la Enseñanza de los Estudios Sociales y Cívica, de la Sede de Occidente. Sobre todo en lo que respecta a las estrategias evaluativas que consideran más útiles para el logro de aprendizajes significativos y para el fortalecimiento de habilidades fundamentales en su desarrollo profesional y personal.
