Authors: SÖNMEZ Ufuk , ÖZDEMİR Yeliz , EMECEN Ahmet Naci
Published: June 2023

Introduction: In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, severe disease is predominantly seen in advanced-aged patients. In our study, we evaluated hospitalized youngest-old (65–74 years), middle-old (75–84 years) and oldest-old (≥85 years) COVID-19 patients in terms of mortality and risk factors. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included hospitalized COVID-19 patients aged 65 years and older. Demographic characteristics, such as age, gender and comorbid conditions, baseline blood oxygen saturation levels, the necessity of oxygen treatments (nasal cannula,oxygen mask/reservoir oxygen mask), condition of the patients(mild, moderate, severe), baseline laboratory findings as C-reactive protein , white blood cell counts, thrombocyte counts, lymphocyte counts, D-dimer, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and ferritin levels, pulmonary involvement on computerized tomography, the increase in oxygen requirements, the status of going to the intensive care unit and the status of receiving corticosteroids were recorded. Factors associated with mortality were analyzed. Results: A total of 399 geriatric COVID-19 patients were included in this study: 214(53.6%) were female and 185 (46.4%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 75±7.87(min:65–max:96). In our study, the mortality rate was found to be higher in the middle-old and oldest-old groups than in the youngest-old group (p=0.01). Other factors associated with mortality were as follows: lower baseline oxygen saturation levels (p=0.03), necessity of higher oxygen treatment (p<0.01), higher pulmonary involvement on computerized tomography (p<0.01), corticosteroid use (p<0.01) and having Alzheimer’s disease (p=0.03). Conclusion: Our findings emphasize that older patients are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and require special attention. Keywords: Geriatrics; SARS-CoV-2; Mortality.

JCPOA revival: A game theoretical approach
Authors: Seyed Ali Mohammad Kamranrad  , Saeed seyed agha Banihashemi
Published: June 2023

This article employs game theory to analyze the potential revitalization of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the factors that influence the decision-making processes of Iran and the United States. The JCPOA, an agreement signed in 2015, placed significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in return for the lifting of economic sanctions. However, the situation shifted dramatically when the United States withdrew from the agreement in 2018. Despite recent negotiations and renewed hopes for a revival of the JCPOA, events such as the inauguration of Iran’s conservative president and ongoing conflict in Ukraine have resulted in a stalemate. This article explores the policy options available to each party and assesses their associated risks and benefits. By applying game theory, it offers a more precise understanding of the strategies employed by both actors and the potential future of the JCPOA. The analysis ultimately concludes that it is highly improbable that the JCPOA will be revived in the near future. Sanctions are likely to remain in place while Iran continues to maintain ambiguity regarding its nuclear program. A major transformation would be required to fundamentally alter the current situation.
An analytical study of Russia-Ukraine war in reference to the offensive realist approach in international relations
Authors: Ajay Kumar
Published: June 2023

During the cold war, there had been deepened geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West—tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, which resulted in the decline of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and in creating a unipolar world. The decline of the USSR was believed to be the disintegration of Russia. Since then, Russia had come in a defensive mode but since the 2000s it was looking for an opportunity in a diplomatic way and it got that opportunity when the West proposed to integrate Russia's border country—Ukraine with it. So, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine again seemed an arena of resurgent geopolitical rivalry between major powers of the world. Prolong conflict between Russia-Ukraine over geography, identity, and power revisionism has recently led Russia to adopt offensive posturing in a manner that satisfies the conceptual ground of offensive realism to negate the possibility of harbouring a neighbour who may possibly disrupt the balance of power and may entrench a ditch in the world to make a bipolar world again in which Russian supremacy is likely to prevail. The term propounded by John Mearsheimer—offensive realism highlights a character in which great powers recognize that the best way to ensure their security is to achieve hegemony, which abolishes the possibility of a threat by another great power. The current study attempts to scrutinize the events in the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war drawing inferences from Offensive Realism, for which a descriptive and analytical approach has been adopted.

The perspective of STEM education through the usage of Robotics
Authors: Nikolaos Drakatos  , Sotiris Stavridis
Published: June 2023

Educational robotics is a transformative tool for learning, computational thinking, coding, and engineering, all of which are increasingly seen as essential components of STEM curriculum in schools. Although robots in education for school-age children has been around since the late 1900s and is becoming more popular among young pupils, it is not fully incorporated as a technology learning aid in traditional classroom settings. Numerous studies have recommended numerous hands-on robotics activities based on constructivist ideas, promoting the formation of knowledge based on reality for scientific and non-scientific stakeholders. Robotics may become an important focal point within technology provision, which is an important underlying attribute for the seminal development of computational thinking (CT). Despite the potential value of CT in strengthening a person's problem-solving skills, ways for improving this capacity through hands-on robotics activities are little unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the relevance of incorporating educational robotics as a technological learning tool into regular curriculum for students and to show how it helps students prepare for the future.
The role of ICTs in student’s emotional and behavioral difficulties
Authors: Vana Gkora  , Anna Maria Driga
Published: June 2023

In the classroom, teachers deal with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues/disorders on a regular basis. Problematic conduct in school is a means for students to respond to events that happen in the classroom and to teachers' attitudes since behavior is perceived by subjective and social elements. This demonstrates the students' desire to have a deeper relationship with the teacher. The teacher is expected to help students improve their academic abilities and manage their emotions by coming up with answers in these trying adjustment circumstances. This article conducts a literature review on the management of emotional and behavioral difficulties/disorders in the classroom, the management of these by the teacher to prevent them, the impact of teachers' attitudes on students' behavior and academic achievement, the implementation of appropriate intervention programs, and the role of ICTs in controlling these difficulties/disorders.

Published: June 2023

The authors propose to discuss the methodology of searching for the defi nitive indicators of flaking techniques of the Eneolithic — Bronze Age in the mountain-forest Trans-Urals. The methodology is based on a step-by-step cross-referencing analysis of raw materials, technological and morphological characteristics of stone artifacts. The multilayer settlement Shaitanskoe 4–6 stone tools assemblage (the Kirovgrad district, Sverdlovsk Oblast) served as the main resource for the analysis. Main stages of the site’s populating correlated with the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age (Cherkaskul culture). Arrowheads were chosen as the key category of artifacts. This choice was based on both the large number of these artifacts (more than 100 items) and their fairly reliable cultural and chronological verification by the well-known interments and single-layer sites of the Urals and the adjacent territories. The Eneolithic flaking technique demonstrated a pronounced variability of tools. Pressure flaking technique used for obtaining blanks of a certain type (blades, microblades, and flakes of preset shapes and sizes) formed the lithic industry basis. During the Bronze Age, the emphasis shifted towards biface-production-oriented striking and counter striking knapping techniques. One of the Bronze Age lithic industry markers was a significant amount of characteristic waste, defected and good blanks as opposed to a small group of two-sided retouched tools with a high level of standardization and manufacturing quality (arrowheads, knives of an asymmetrical triangular shape with an arc-shaped side blade, scrapers of geometric shapes, etc.). The Eneolithic population preferred siliceous and clay shales, high-quality homogeneous jaspers, some types of chalcedony of gray and yellow, homogeneous flint of greenish and greenish-gray shades, and rhyolites of similar colors. During the Bronze Age, most popular materials were mottled flint of mediocre quality, siliceous shales of dark shades, siliceous quartz and chalcedony of light tones, and some varieties of jasper.
THE MISTAKES OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE’S ECONOMIC POLICY (1866–1875)
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Nefedov Sergey A.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to clarifying the reasons for Russia’s economic lag in 1825–1875. In this context, the analysis of economic policy in 1866–1875 is important. During this period, it was carried out under the predominant influence of the Minister of Finance M. Reutern. It included a program for the accelerated construction of railways on a concession basis. The initial motivation for the adoption of the program was the need to stabilize the ruble exchange rate through large-scale stimulation of exports. Another motive was the military threat from the Western powers during the Polish crisis of 1863–1865. The author shows that the main disadvantage of the program was excessive haste in its implementation. This haste led to a focus on the import of railway equipment and the gates were opened to free trade. While in the West the railways construction was a powerful incentive for industrial development, Russian industry was virtually deprived of this incentive. Reutern’s mistake was the assumption that concessionaires would eventually begin to replenish the railway fund, from which loans for the construction of roads were issued. Ultimately, a lack of funds for imports forced the finance minister to change course, and after 1875 vigorous measures were taken to replace imports by placing orders with Russian factories. However, time was lost, and Russia’s lag behind the Western countries increased.
THE CRISIS OF THE INSTITUTE OF MARRIAGE IN THE RSFSR URBAN POPULATION DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, Isupov Vladimir A.
Published: June 2023

The Second World War attracts the closest attention of researchers. The history of the war seems to have been studied in particular detail. Nevertheless, many issues related to the socio-demographic aspects of the war remain poorly researched. Among them, the problems of urban population dynamics stand out. It was not until late 1980s — early 1990s that Russian historiography has shifted towards the study of such aspects of the urbanization of the war years as the reproduction of Russia’s urban population. However, even today, such important subjects as nuptiality patterns remain outside the attention of researchers. The article interprets nuptiality as the process of forming a marriage structure based on the conclusion and dissolution of marriages. This, first of all, determines the scientific novelty of the article. On the basis of new sources, many of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, it considers such problems as the dynamics of the number of registered marriages in 1939–1945, as well as the transformation of structural indicators of marriage. The perturbation effect of military mobilizations on the marriage dynamics is shown. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the crisis of marriage during the war years, the impact of gender asymmetry on the parameters of marriage. The problem of divorce during the war years is not ignored as well. The author identifies fundamental differences in the marriage rate of the urban and rural population, reveals the main trends in the demographic policy of the Stalinist state in the field of marriage.
STATE PERSONNEL POLICY AND CIVIL SERVICE MANAGEMENT IN SIBERIA: GENERAL IMPERIAL STANDARDS AND LOCAL SPECIFICS (1800–1860)
Authors:   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Chelyabinsk branch, Voropanov Vitaly A.
Published: June 2023

In modern scholarship, the issues of forming a corps of officials in the peripheral regions of the Russian Empire, as well as legislation aimed at maintaining the proper quality of civil service personnel, remain poorly studied. Meanwhile, the business and moral qualities of officials in Siberia, the largest macro-region of pre-revolutionary Russia, were of exceptional importance: civil servants became the main factor in its integration into the state. The role and importance of personnel policy as one of the key directions of the state regional policy, the features of civil service management in Siberia require proper analysis and evaluation. The purpose of the study is to determine the goals and trends in the development of legislation in the field of state personnel policy in the context of implementing the tasks of integrating Siberia into the Russian Empire in the 1800s–1860s. In this perspective, the theme of the integration of Siberia into Russia is being studied for the first time. The work draws upon the frontier and modernization approaches, which made it possible to most accurately understand and evaluate the essence of the strategies of the supreme power in relation to the peripheral regions of the empire. The article concludes that the need to accelerate the administrative development of the Asian part of Russia required the development of legislation on civil service in the region. The legislation included regulations on promotion to the ranks, awarding orders, payment of funds, permission for vacations, and the appointment of pensions. Imperial legislation took account of local specifics and was aimed at overcoming the shortage and maintaining the quality of personnel necessary to solve the problems of public administration, in particular, in the field of justice.
MISSIONARY AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN THE URAL NORTH IN THE LATE 19TH — EARLY 20TH CENTURIES

Published: June 2023

The article analyzes the activities of the literacy schools created by the Ekaterinburg Diocesan Committee of the Orthodox Missionary Society in the Verkhotursky uyezd of the Perm province: their financial and material support, methods of educational work, the level of educational training and material support of teachers. For the spread of Orthodoxy among the settled Mansi, the committee created four schools: in 1887 — in the village of Lacha, in 1888 — in Lopaeva, in 1890 — in Mityaeva, in 1891 — Petrova. “Vogul Schools” worked according to the program of parish schools, which included the study of the following subjects: the Law of God, Church Slavonic literacy, the Russian language and reading of civilian press, arithmetic, calligraphy, church singing. The training lasted three years and was conducted in Russian. The main task of church schools was “awakening in children of sincere love for the Church of God and the development of religious feelings in their souls”. The missionaries were confident in the beneficial and attractive power of Christian ideas, capable of turning the gentiles and “infidels” to Orthodoxy. The government, supporting missionary schools, saw in them a means of spreading the Russian language and integration of the empire’s non-Russian peoples into a single economic and cultural space. In 1907, missionary schools were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Ekaterinburg diocesan school council. At that time, there were 20 students (10 boys and 10 girls) in the Lachinsky school, in Mityaevskaya — 10 (6 boys and 4 girls), in Lopaevskaya — 28 (19 boys and 9 girls), in Petrovskaya — 23 (16 boys and 7 girls). During the school reform of the early 20th century all these schools were closed. Only the Petrovsky school was preserved, which was completed by students and transformed into a parish school. Attempts by the Ekaterinburg branch of the Orthodox Missionary Society to organize schools to teach children of the nomad Mansi failed.
THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND MORTALITY OF THE USSR URBAN POPULATION DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Authors:   Institute of History, Siberian Branch of the RAS, Semenov Mikhail A.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the morbidity dynamics of the urban population during the Great Patriotic War. The year-to-year data on the number of cases of citizens with typhoid, typhus and recurrent typhus, malaria, dysentery, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, toxic dyspepsia, acute gastroenterocolitis are presented. The dynamics of these diseases during the war years is analyzed. A reduction in cases of gastrointestinal diseases is shown. In case of diseases with a predominantly airborne transmission mechanism there was adherence to natural cycles of morbidity changes, with a weak effect of medical measures on them. The spread of typhus was caused by the processes of evacuation and deportation, including prisoners of war. An increased proportion of urban morbidity with a number of infections is noted. The analysis of anti-epidemic activity of health care system is carried out. In accordance with the teachings of L. V. Gromashevsky, measures are identified against each of the links of the epidemic process. The sanitary activity of healthcare is considered, data on the scale of vaccination and phaging of the population are given, and the dynamics of hospitalization of patients is analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about the level of their effectiveness. Much attention is paid to the analysis of the mortality dynamics of infectious patients during the war years. The influence of morbidity dynamics on the change in the structure of causes of mortality, as well as the reduction of mortality of the urban population is determined. It is concluded that the change in the incidence rate during the war years, primarily with gastrointestinal diseases, as well as a decrease in mortality from them, became the basis for the formation of an endogenous mortality structure.

Published: June 2023

Higher legal education became available to Russian women at the beginning of the 20th century. There were many educational institutions in the country where women were allowed to receive such an education, at the same time, they had the opportunity to graduate from universities with degrees in law. The number of women lawyers increased dramatically, but they were barred from entering the legal profession. Attempts by some to become attorneys were unsuccessful, and the tsarist legislator did not allow women’s advocacy. Restrictions on employment in justice set up lawyers to fight for the right to work there on equal terms with men, and this struggle took on organized forms. The feminist Society of St. Petersburg Women Lawyers, founded in 1913, aimed to provide graduates of law faculties with full access to practical law, for which the issue of employment of female lawyers was specially studied, educational and propaganda activities were carried out. The conditions of the First World War served as a trigger for what was happening to a large extent. They accelerated the feminization of labor and the legal field was no exception. Due to mobilization, the legal profession had a loss in the male workforce, which hundreds of Russian women with legal qualifications were ready to make up. Not having the right to realized themselves in the courts, they first of all became workers of consultations, where they applied their knowledge and abilities in work related to the lawyer. For women lawyers of the Russian Empire, access to the legal profession was opened only after its fall, when the Provisional Government allowed women’s advocacy.

Published: June 2023

Objective Previous studies have shown the influence of visual and auditory sensory impairment on dementia incidence. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the incidence of dementia will increase with visual and auditory impairments than with visual or auditory impairment.Methods Data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service database were used, including disease and medication codes from 2009 to 2018, and the 2011 national health check-up results. Participants were grouped based on their sensory abilities: normal, visual impairment, auditory impairment, and both visual and auditory impairments (dual sensory impairment). To compare the incidence of dementia, hazard ratios were calculated for each group, with reference to the normal sensory (NS) group. Sensitivity analyses were performed comparing dementia incidence from 2014 to 2018, excluding the onset of the disease in 2012 and 2013.Results We identified 8,289 cases of dementia during the seven-year follow-up. In the multiple Cox regression analysis, adjusted for sex, social economic status, age, comorbidities, smoking, alcohol consumption, and activity level, the auditory impairment (hazard ratio= 1.1908) and visual impairment (hazard ratio=1.3553) groups showed a significantly higher dementia incidence than the NS group. Dual sensory impairment (hazard ratio=1.5267) showed the highest incidence. The sensitivity analysis yielded similar results.Conclusion Visual and auditory impairments are associated with an increased risk of dementia, particularly in individuals with dual sensory impairment. Hence, visual and auditory impairments might have increased the risk of dementia through independent pathological processes. Therefore, preventing and correcting sensory impairment is necessary to reduce the risk of dementia.

Published: June 2023

The condition of coral reefs in Indonesia is alarming. One of the influenting factors of coral reefs damage is extreme climate change. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of climate change, that is Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly index, and coral reefs damage in West, Central and East Region of Indonesia. The method used in this study is Copula analysis. Copula is one of the statistical methods used to determine the relationship of two or more variables, in which case the distribution can be normal or not. First, data is transformed into Uniform [0,1] domain. Then, Copula parameter is estimated to get significance parameter. Lastly, the best Copula that has the highest log likelihood value is selected to represent the relationship of data. The result indicates that percentage of coral reefs damage in West and Central Region has relationship with SST Nino 4, while coral reefs damage in East Region does not have relationship with any of SST Nino anomalies. In West Region, the best Copula represents the relationship is Gaussian Copula (parameter = -0.32); it concludes that the higher the value of SST Nino 4, the lower the percentage of coral reefs damage and otherwise. While in Central Indonesia, Frank Copula (parameter = -4.89) is selected; it does not have tail dependency so that the SST Nino 4 and the percentage of coral reefs in damage condition in Central Region has low correlation.

Published: June 2023

In the stock market, there are bullish and bearish terms that are reflected in the movement of the stock price index. One of the stock price indexes listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is the IDX Composite. Stock market conditions fluctuate along with changes in stock prices that move randomly, while investors expect market conditions to be active (bullish market). Several factors influence the movement of the IDX Composite, one of which is macroeconomic factors. The purpose of this research is to find out the condition of stock market as well as predict its condition using macroeconomics indicators. The method used to determine stock market conditions (bullish or bearish) is the Bry-Boschan algorithm, while the method used to predict the stock market using macroeconomic indicators is the binary logistic regression method. The Bry-Boschan algorithm is widely used to detect peaks and troughs in business cycle analysis. Binary logistic regression is used to model data with responses that have two categories or are in the form of binary numbers. Results show that the IDX Composite experienced 42 times (month) bearish periods and 191 times (month) experienced bullish periods. The obtained model has an accuracy value of 81.55%.

Published: June 2023

Currently, land area, production and maize prices in West Nusa Tenggara province are sometimes unstable. One of the factors affecting the instability of maize prices is the shift in planting patterns at the farm level. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of land area and total production on the selling price of maize. The method used is quantitative with data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression. The source of data is from the Central Bureau of Statistics, Department of Agriculture and Plantation of NTB. The regression equation found is Y = 3109.911 + 0.007X1 - 0.001X2. This result shows that the X1 variable of 0.007 means that every time there is an increase in the land area variable by 1%, the selling price increases by 7%. While the X2 variable decreased by 1%. The hypothesis with the calculation of the partial t-test of land area is 1.249, which means that land area has no influence on the selling price of NTB corn in 2012-2021. In future research, it is necessary to conduct research on the development of corn planting land area, production, productivity per unit of land area nationally associated with the rate of population growth, corn demand, and the growth of corn imports nationally.

The Pavlodar region is of interest as an object of economic diversification and development of the tourism industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose of this study is to assess the development of tourism in the Pavlodar region. Statistical data on the contribution of tourism activities to the gross regional product (GRP), infrastructure, the labor market of tourism services, and investments in the sector are analyzed. Data obtained from official sources: Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2015-2019. During the study, it was found that the nominal contribution of the tourism industry to the development of the region's economy for 2015–2019 ranged from 0.55% to 0.3%. The maximum volumes of services related to tourism activities and the maximum growth rates were in 2017 and 2019. The growth rates of services in these periods were 114.1% and 107%, respectively. In 2019, tourism reached its maximum development in the Pavlodar region until the start of the pandemic, primarily due to investments in the industry. As of 2019, the degree of depreciation of fixed assets in the tourism industry was 46.2%. Thus, studies show that the tourism industry has a low organizational and economic level of development. However, there is also potential for tourism development: the stable political situation in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Pavlodar region; the implementation of measures to support the development of the tourism industry at the state and regional levels; availability of tourist recreational resources.

Global epidemics, wars, and lack of resources pose threats to society and the tertiary industry. After the world went through a period of de-globalization for a short period of time since the year 2019, the Global tourism industry suffers a fatal blow. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the economic vulnerability of a specialized tourism city Dali (a typical tourism city in China) and propose risk avoidance strategies for its sustainable tourism development. This paper establishes a vulnerability assessment model from the aspects of sensitivity and responding capacity by using the set pair analysis (SPA) model to evaluate the economic vulnerability of Dali. The obstacle evaluation model and the entropy value method were used to analyze its obstacle factors. This research employs the National Economic and Social Development Statistics as its primary data source, augmented by the Statistical Yearbook and Yearbooks from different years. The results show that the change of the vulnerability of Dali's tourism economic system is relatively stable, but in general the vulnerability is at a high level in most years. According to the analysis of obstacle factors, the ratio of tourist arrivals to local population, Elasticity coefficient of tourism to industrial growth and National economy (GDP) output value are the main obstacles to reduce the vulnerability of Dali's tourism economy.

Cada indivíduo possui diferentes formas de aprendizagem, logo, faz-se necessário que o professor reflita seus métodos e práticas de ensino para que possam solucionar os problemas refletindo, verbalizando, escrevendo, levantando hipóteses e trocando ideias com seus pares, sem perder de vista a participação do professor que atua como mediador, na qual deverá conhecer bem os assuntos propostos no currículo de ciência e da matemática para problematizá-las junto aos alunos. Desta maneira, este estudo é uma revisão bibliográfica que objetiva identificar as semelhanças e diferenças da teoria de Piaget (2006) e Vigotsky (1997), bem como, sua relação com os estudos de Rudolf Steiner (1979) que aborda sobre a pedagogia Waldorf. Para tanto, o presente estudo pretende contribuir na formação dos professores, cooperando para maiores reflexões sobre os métodos e às práticas de ensino trabalhadas em sala de aula.

O escopo deste trabalho tem o objetivo de mostrar e refletir sobre as contribuições das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC) na formação dos docentes que atuam e que irão atuar nas instituições educativas. A pesquisa bibliográfica destaca-se que a instituição escolar não pode perder a oportunidade de ser agente transformador, deixando-se ficar à margem dos acontecimentos ou de influenciar na construção de novos conhecimentos. Mostrou também que a educação, por meio das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, oferece novas possibilidades de aprendizagem aberta e flexível. Ao planejar a integração das TIC na formação de professores, é fundamental que as instituições educacionais compreendam quais habilidades e conhecimentos esses profissionais devem se apropriar para usar efetivamente essa tecnologia em suas aulas, compreendendo, ainda, até que ponto a instituição está preparada para realizar a integração das TIC nos currículos.

O componente Projeto de Vida é a centralidade do sistema de ensino pautado na formação integral dos educandos, cuja proposta relaciona-se às dimensões não só cognitiva, mas pessoal, social, emocional, profissional e partindo desta perspectiva, torna-se uma importante ferramenta para direcionar práticas docentes para prevenção de violências na escola. Contudo, este trabalho de cunho exploratória-descritiva com abordagem qualitativa objetivou analisar as contribuições deste componente no contexto de prevenção de possíveis eventos de violências que possam surgir em seu cotidiano, a partir das perspectivas dos docentes envolvidos. Assim, foi aplicada entrevista semiestruturada em cinco professores de Projeto de Vida da rede pública de ensino no Estado de Sergipe, cujo tratamento de dados foi com base na análise textual discursiva proposta por Moraes e Galiazzi (2016). Foi concluído que práticas docentes direcionadas a prevenção de possíveis ações de violências no espaço escolar, são realizadas ainda de forma pontual e descontínua.

Bicuspid Aortic Valves (BAV) are associated with an increased incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). TAA are a common aortic pathology characterized by enlargement of the aortic root and/or ascending aorta, and may become life threatening when left untreated. Typically occurring as the sole pathology in a patient, TAA are largely asymptomatic. However, in some instances, they are accompanied by aortic valve (AV) diseases: either congenital BAV or acquired in the form of Aortic Insufficiency (AI) or aortic stenosis (AS). When TAA are associated with aortic valve disease, determining an accurate and predictable prognosis becomes especially challenging. Patients with AV disease and concomitant TAA lack a widely accepted diagnostic approach, one that integrates our knowledge on aortic valve pathophysiology and encompasses multi-modality imaging approaches. This review summarizes the most recent scientific knowledge regarding the association between AV diseases (BAV, AI, AS) and ascending aortopathies (dilatation, aneurysm, and dissection). We aimed to pinpoint the gaps in monitoring practices and prediction of disease progression in TAA patients with concomitant AV disease. We propose that a morphological and functional analysis of the AV with multi-modality imaging should be included in aortic surveillance programs. This strategy would allow for improved risk stratification of these patients, and possibly new AV phenotypic-specific guidelines with more vigilant surveillance and earlier prophylactic surgery to improve patient outcomes.

Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with arrhythmia are not uncommon. Insertion of temporary pacemakers (tPMs) in patients with arrythmia during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is imperative support therapy. Arrhythmias include high-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), sinus arrest/bradycardia, and ventricular arrythmia storm. To date, no study has evaluated the prognosis of tPMs in patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia. Especially in the era of thrombolysis or emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery revascularization, our study was designed to investigate the value of tPMs implantation in cases of AMI complicated with various arrhythmias. Methods: From January 2009 to January 2019, 35,394 patients with AMI, including 62.0% (21,935) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 38.0% (13,459) with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in four hospitals, were reviewed. A total of 552 patients with AMI associated with arrythmia were included in the cohort. Among the 552 patients, there were 139 patients with tPM insertions. The incidence trend of myocardial infarction complicated with various arrhythmias in the past 10 years was analysed, and the clinical characteristics, in-hospital mortality, postdischarge mortality, composite endpoints of modality, and independent risk factors were compared in patients with and without tPM in the era of coronary artery revascularization. Results: In patients with AMI-associated arrythmia, high-degree AVB was the major cause of tPM insertion (p = 0.045). In the past 10 years, the number of patients with high-degree AVB, tPM implantation, ventricular arrythmia storm, and in-hospital mortality has decreased year by year in the era of coronary artery revascularization. In the tPM group, the culprit vessel was the left main artery, and cardiogenic shock, acute renal injury and high brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were independent risk factors for patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia. The in-hospital mortality in the tPM group was higher than that in the non-tPM group. The patients with tPM insertion showed better postdischarge survival than patients without tPM insertion. Conclusions: In the era of emergency thrombolysis or PCI, coronary revascularization can ameliorate the prognosis of patients with AMI complicated with various arrhythmias. Temporary pacemaker insertion in patients with AMI complicated with arrhythmia can reduce the postdischarge mortality of these patients.
