Therapie der Mitralklappenendokardiose beim Hund – ein Update
Authors: Henrich Estelle , Hungerbühler Stephan
Published: November 2017

Anhand von Anamnese, Signalement, Auskultations- und Röntgenbefund lässt sich bei Hunden die Verdachtsdiagnose der Mitralklappenendokardiose stellen. Die definitive Diagnosestellung und die genaue Bestimmung des Schweregrades erfordern jedoch eine radiologische Größenbeurteilung des Herzens und eine echokardiographische Evaluierung. Mithilfe der Anzeichen der Volumenbelastung kann so zwischen den Stadien B1 und B2 unterschieden werden. Im Stadium A und B1 bedarf es keiner Therapie, eine halbjährliche bis jährliche kardiologische Kontrolle sollte vorgenommen werden, um die Progression der Erkrankung zu beurteilen. Hinsichtlich der Behandlung im Stadium B2 bestand 2009 noch kein Konsens, doch ist heutzutage aufgrund der EPIC-Studie bei diesen Patienten die lebensverlängernde Wirkung von Pimobendan bewiesen. Nach den Resultaten überwiegend experimenteller Studien, in denen sich bei Gabe eines Hemmers des Angiotensin-konvertierenden Enzyms (ACE-H) ein Aldosteron-Escape-Mechanismus ergab, könnte die Hemmung des Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosteron-Systems durch Kombination von ACE-H und Spironolacton ebenfalls schon im Stadium B2 ein vielversprechender Therapieansatz sein. Für eine endgültige Entscheidung bleibt jedoch die DELAY-Stu die abzuwarten. Bei Hunden im akut lebensbedrohlichen dekompensierten Stadium C3 muss zunächst eine Stabilisierung mittels Steigerung der Diurese, positiv inotropen Medikamenten (Pimobendan) und Sauerstoffsubstitution erfolgen. Eine kontinuierliche Kontrolle der wichtigsten Vitalparameter ist durchzuführen. Anhand dieser Befunde wird die Therapie, insbesondere die Dosierung des Diuretikums, angepasst. Daher ist diese Behandlung nur unter intensivme dizinischer Betreuung möglich. Zur Therapie im chronischen Stadium C 1/2 wird das Vierfach-Therapieprotokoll bestehend aus Furosemid, Pimobendan, ACE-H und Spironolacton angeraten. Das Schleifendiuretikum Torasemid stellt dabei eine Alternative zu Furosemid dar. Hunde im Stadium D (trotz medikamentöser Therapie weiterhin refraktäres Herzversagen) sind schwierig zu stabilisieren und haben eine schlechte Prognose. Zur Stabilisierung finden üblicherweise Methoden Anwendung, die bislang nicht evidenzbasiert untersucht wurden.

Background: Back pain is an injury to health that accompanies humans since the beginning of time. The pain in the column are recurrent complaints of the physical therapy students of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Objective: The objective was to verify the effectiveness of the Maitland Method, to reduce pain and to improve the functionality of physical therapy students. Methods: 12 volunteers were analyzed in this study, four were allocated in the Intervention Group (IG) and eight in the Control Group (CG). They were evaluated for anthropometry, flexibility (finger-ground index), functionality (Roland Morris Questionnaire-QRM), pain level (Visual Analogue Scale-EVA), and perception of patient improvement. Results: In the QRM scores, it was observed that the CG showed a significant improvement over the initial evaluation in both the T1 (p= 0.026) and the T2 (p= 0.018) reevaluation. The same was observed in VAS in relation to T1 (p= 0.018) and T2 (p= 0.017). IG remained constant throughout the treatment. Conclusion: We can infer that both the Maitland Method and the exercises are effective for the reduction of pain and improvement of function in individuals with chronic low back pain.
Formación de docentes y modelo pedagógico en la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia
Authors: Soto Arango Diana Elvira , Mora García José Pascual , Lima Jardilino José Rubens
Published: November 2017

El modelo pedagógico de la Facultad de Ciencias de la  Educación de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia se concibe a partir del enfoque humanístico, propuesto por la Universidad desde sus inicios con el antecedente directo de la Escuela Normal Superior en Colombia. La aproximación al enfoque educativo y a los modelos pedagógicos que subyacen en la facultad se establece desde el método de la historia social de la educación, los imaginarios, y el análisis cualitativo. Se concluye que el enfoque educativo humanístico cambió de católico a crítico y se mantiene bajo el principio de la integralidad del ser humano, se evidencia una aproximación a la tendencia cognoscitiva actual, que se enmarca en la escuela del pensamiento epistemológico y se inclina hacia modelos críticos sociales dentro de un código ético de principios, enmarcados en la identidad del desempeño profesional del educador. Se propone, en la aproximación al modelo pedagógico crítico, una tríada equilibrada en la cual se llega desde el educador y el educando al centro focal del acto del conocimiento, esto bajo el principio de la dialogicidad y mediado por la responsabilidad social, la pedagogía emancipatoria y la felicidad del ser humano en la construcción de la paz de Colombia.

Portuguese Adaptation and Input for the Validation of the Views on Inpatient Care (VOICE) Outcome Measure to Assess Service Users’ Perceptions of Inpatient Psychiatric Care
Authors: Palha João , Palha Filipa , Dias Pedro , Gonçalves-Pereira Manuel
Published: November 2017

Introduction: Patient satisfaction is an important measure of health care quality. Patients’ views have seldom been considered in the construction of measures addressing satisfaction with inpatient facilities in psychiatry. The Views on Inpatient Care - VOICE - is a first service-user generated outcome measure relying solely on their perceptions of acute care, representing a valuable indicator of service users’ perceived quality of care. The present study aimed to contribute to the validation of the Portuguese version of VOICE.Material and Methods: The questionnaire was translated into Portuguese and applied to a sample of eighty-five female inpatients of a psychiatric institution. Data analysis focused on assessing reliability and exploring the impact of demographic and clinical variables on participants’ satisfaction.Results: Internal consistency of the questionnaire was high (α = 0.87). Participants’ age and marital status were associated with differences in scores, with older patients and patients who were married or involved in a close relationship presenting higher satisfaction levels.Discussion: The questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency and acceptability, as well as construct validity. Further studies should expand the analysis of the psychometric properties of this measure e.g., test-retest reliability.Conclusion: The Portuguese version of VOICE is a promising tool to assess service users’ perceptions of inpatient psychiatric care in Portugal.

Authors: Gunawan Gunawan , Werdhany1 Wiendarti Indri , Budisatria I Gede Suparta
Published: November 2017

Cocoa leave is potential as goat’s feed, but has not been widely used by farmers. The aim of this study was to observe the use of cocoa leaves as goat feed and their effect on the daily gain of goats. This study was conducted on 2 phases. Phase 1, study of the use of cocoa leaves as feed goat has been done on 10 farmers with innovation and 10 farmers without innovation. The observations were done by weighing of fresh cocoa leaves as goat feed for eight months (March to October, 2013). Independent t-test was done to analyze the cocoa leaves treatments on farmers with and without innovation . Phase 2, feeding trial has been done for 8 weeks to compare 3 level of feed treatments namely A (grass ad lib, cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day, rice bran 0.6 kg/head/day), B (grass ad lib, cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day) and C (grass ad lib). Each level of feed treatment consisted of 7 male Bligon goats, aged 11-12 months. Data was analyzed using analysis of covariance with initial body weight as covariate. The results showed that the use of cocoa leaves as goat feed on farmers  with innovations was 130 ± 18 g/head/day higher than on farmers without innovation namely 33 ± 19 g/head/day. Body weight gain of goat increased from 30,6 ± 13,5 g/head/day (feeding grass) to 61,2 ± 9,5  g/head/day if added cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day and to 68,9 ± 24,0g/head/day if added cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day and rice bran 0.6 kg/head/day. The study implied that cocoa-goats integration system should be developed to optimize the utilization of cocoa leaves as goat’s feed.
Agricultural Management Impacts on Soil Health: Methods for Large Spatial Scales
Authors: Rottler Caitlin M. , Brown David P. , Steiner Jean L.
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Organic matter stratification in soil health–managed soil resembles native soil.

Methods are appropriate for the large spatial scale and our chosen indicators.

Methods involving immediate sample preprocessing require field modifications.

Agriculture in the Southern Great Plains of the United States depends on precipitation and temperature thresholds for productivity. The region's climate and weather are variable, presenting farming challenges that are predicted to increase. Building and conserving healthy, resilient soil is one way farmers manage for future uncertainty. Few studies have compared soil health–managed and conventionally managed farms at the regional scale. To better understand management effects on soil health across the Southern Great Plains, we studied farms at 12 locations. We piloted the study using three of the locations, collecting soils from 10 fields per location and analyzing them for indicators of soil health. Our objective was to test the suitability of our experimental framework and identify additional indicators and analyses of interest. Our framework was generally suitable to the purpose of this study. We also noted that soil health–managed soils had organic matter stratification similar to native soils, which we plan to explore further.
Spring Wheat Response to Simulated Glyphosate Drift
Authors: Wiersma J. J. , Durgan B. R.
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Drift prior to stem elongation may go unnoticed, yet producers can expect yield reductions up to 15%

Drift encountered during stem elongation and the appearance of the flag leaf will result in yield losses that can exceed 85%.

Symptomology of drift that occurs during heading is very innocuous, as no stunting will be observed and yellowing of leaf tissue can easily be mistaken for symptoms of Septoria leaf blotch.

Glyphosate is one of the most widely used nonselective herbicides. The nearly ubiquitous use of glyphosate‐resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], corn (Zea mays L.), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), and/or canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars in the Northern Great Plains can, unfortunately, result in off‐target movement to sensitive crops. Off‐target movement generally exposes a sensitive crop like spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to rates ranging from 1 to 10% of the applied rate. The objective of this study was to measure the effect of simulated glyphosate drift at a concentration of 0.07 lb acid equivalent/acre on spring wheat crop injury, crop residue, and yield. At 28 d after treatment (DAT), crop injury varied from none to 67.5%. Across years, the application at Zadoks GS17 resulted in the most crop injury, with symptoms typical of glyphosate injury as the crop was severely stunted and yellow at 28 DAT, resulting in yield losses between 82 and 96% of the untreated control. Glyphosate residue could be detected at 7 DAT for all treatments, but the number of false negatives increased to over half at 21 DAT. No clear quantitative relationship could be discerned from the amount of glyphosate residue detected and the application timing.

Published: November 2017

The word Artava denotes two meanings one of them is Antah Pushpa and another one is Bahir Pushpa. Both Antah and Bahir Pushpa are interrelated. Bahir Pushpa is outward manifestation of appropriate work of Antah Pushpa which is necessary for conception. Here, the present study deal with Bahir Pushpa that is menstrual blood. As heavy menstrual bleeding (Raktapradara) is a debilitating disorder, the woman requires rapid, safe and effective treatment. Ayurvedic texts have described a variety of treatment options in the management of “Rakta Pradara”. Due to alteration of food habits and changing life styles complaint of the excessive and irregular uterine bleeding is increasing day by day. Excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia and dysmenorrhoea. High rate of complication of hysterectomy as well as it is not suitable for younger patients and who wish to conceive further. Due to limitation of medical therapy as well surgical therapy of modern science, it becomes the necessity of the time to find out harmless therapy to manage the condition.These are the factors why the topic is being selected for the present study.

Authors: Pushpan Reshmi , Karra Nishteswar , Nariya Mukesh B. , K. Ashok V.
Published: November 2017

Background: Leonotis nepetifolia (L.)R.Br. (LN) belonging to Lamiaceae family is a tall erect annual weed native to Southern India and tropical Africa used by tribals and folklore traditions in India for cough, fever, stomach ache, skin ailments, kidney diseases, rheumatism and dysmenorrhoea. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of the traditional dosage form( decoction) as used by the tribals in comparison to a modified dosage form(dry aqueous extract ) of whole plant of LN in experimental animal models. Materials and Methods: Thirty wistar strain albino rats were selected and randomly divided into five groups. Arthritis was induced by Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) and then treated with either the decoction of whole plant of LN or the dry aqueous extract for 30 days.The various parameters like paw volume, ponderal changes, serum biochemical parameters and histopathological changes were assessed. The data was analyzed by employing one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s multiple‘t’ test for unpaired data to determine significant difference between groups at P>0.05. Results: In the present study it was observed that dry aqueous extract form of the test drug is having weak activity against primary oedema whereas decoction form did not show any effect on primary oedema. Both forms of test drug have comparable values as standard drug on 25th day in secondary oedema. Conclusion: The findings suggest the beneficial effect of the drug against chronic inflammation and inhibition of periarthritis and osteogenic activity.

Authors: Mehta Neky
Published: November 2017

Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana is the science dealing with processing of Ayurved medicines. Due to globalisation of Ayurved science it is need of time to convert our dosage form into palatable and convenient form towards the patient without compromising the effect of the medicines. So here an attempt was made to convert a medicine Rasakarpura Drava into new dosage form Rasakarpura Gel. It is also thought that other raw materials like Tuttha, Sphatika, Tankan etc; some water soluble formulations like Rasakarpura etc; and some water based dosage form like Arka, Hima, Phant etc. can be converted into gel form due to its water solubility and external skin absorbent nature. Is it possible?

Published: November 2017

Hydradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as Acne Inversa, is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent, painful, deep-seated, rounded nodules and abscesses. Subsequent hypertrophic scarring and suppuration of apocrine gland bearing skin: axilla, groin, peri-anal and perineal regions are main features. Onset is usually after puberty. The disease tends to become chronic with subcutaneous extension leading to indurations, sinus and fistula having a profound impact on the quality of life. The exact aetiology remains unknown. The clinical features of HS can be compared with Naadivrana mentioned in classics. Treatment modalities of Naadivrana includes mainly Ksharataila Poorana and Ksharasutra application are adopted in the present case. A case report of patient suffering from HS since 4.5 years (c/o multiple pus discharging abscesses and hardened area in both axillary region) was treated by number of allopathic surgeons and physicians but there was minimal relief and recurrence (6-7 times) even after Incision and Drianage (IandD) and wide excision. The patient was under Ayurveda treatment for approximately 5 months and pus discharge, hardness reduced completely and is on followup since 8 months there is no recurrence, patient was treated internally with Gandakarasayana, Triphala Guggulu and Varunadi Kashaya. Apamarga Kshara Taila infiltration followed by Apamarga Kshara Sutra application to the intercommunicating sinuses, adviced to maintain local hygiene.

Published: November 2017

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the Prenatal Oral Health Program (pOHP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on medical students’ oral health‐related knowledge, confidence, attitudes, and dental referral practices. Specifically, the study sought to determine these students’ ability to screen, counsel, and refer their patients to a dental home and their overall knowledge regarding the safety of dental treatment for pregnant patients. The study used a pre‐ and post‐intervention survey design with intervention and control groups. Third‐year medical students enrolled in an obstetrics and gynecology clerkship were surveyed between 2012 and 2014. The questionnaire assessed students’ confidence and behaviors related to prenatal oral health counseling, screening, referral to a dental home, and knowledge about treatment safety during pregnancy. Intervention and control groups were determined by clerkship site. The intervention consisted of a 50‐minute seminar on prenatal oral health principles, referral guidelines, and clinical systems changes. A total of 53 intervention and 32 control group students participated (57.4% response rate). The two groups were not significantly different at baseline in age, gender, having children, and residency goals. The results showed that the pOHP positively and significantly influenced students in the intervention group on all clinical constructs except their knowledge about treatment safety during pregnancy. Clinically examining a woman's mouth for signs of dental disease resulted in greater likelihood of making referrals by 26.5 times. These findings suggest that implementing prenatal oral health in a multi‐method manner can effectively promote interdisciplinary coordinated care, meet interprofessional education accreditation standards, and aid in implementing practice guidelines in medical school curricula.
Development of an eHealth System to Capture and Analyze Patient Sensor and Self-Report Data: Mixed-Methods Assessment of Potential Applications to Improve Cancer Care Delivery (Preprint)
Authors: Lucas Alexander R , Bass Michael B , Rothrock Nan E , O'Connor Mary L , Sorkin Mia R , Nawyn Jason , Albinali Fahd , Wagner Lynne I
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND

Capturing and Analyzing Sensor and Self-Report Data for Clinicians and Researchers (COMPASS) is an electronic health (eHealth) platform designed to improve cancer care delivery through passive monitoring of patients’ health status and delivering customizable reports to clinicians. Based on data from sensors and context-driven administration of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, key indices of patients’ functional status can be collected between regular clinic visits, supporting clinicians in the delivery of patient care.

OBJECTIVE

The first phase of this project aimed to systematically collect input from oncology providers and patients on potential clinical applications for COMPASS to refine the system.

METHODS

Ten clinicians representing various oncology specialties and disciplines completed semi-structured interviews designed to solicit clinician input on how COMPASS can best support clinical care delivery. Three cancer patients tested a prototype of COMPASS for 7 days and provided feedback. Interview data were tabulated using thematic content analysis to identify the most clinically relevant objective and PRO domains.

RESULTS

Thematic content analysis revealed that clinicians were most interested in monitoring vital statistics, symptoms, and functional status, including the physical activity level (n=9), weight (n=5), fatigue (n=9), sleep quality (n=8), and anxiety (n=7). Patients (2 in active treatment and 1 in remission) reported that they would use such a device, were enthusiastic about their clinicians monitoring their health status, especially the tracking of symptoms, and felt knowing their clinicians were monitoring and reviewing their health status provided valuable reassurance. Patients would, however, like to provide some context to their data.

CONCLUSIONS

Clinicians and patients both articulated potential benefits of the COMPASS system in improving cancer care. From a clinician standpoint, data need to be easily interpretable and actionable. The fact that patients and clinicians both see potential value in eHealth systems suggests wider adoption and utilization could prove to be a useful tool for improving care delivery.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do nível de atividade física no equilíbrio em mulheres idosas. A amostra foi constituída por 15 mulheres idosas, com idade entre 60 e 78 anos, aparentemente saudáveis. Para se avaliar o nível de atividade física foi aplicado o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ). Após responderem o IPAQ as idosas foram divididas em dois grupos: idosas sedentárias (GSED; n = 8) e ativas (GATI; n = 7). Para a avaliação do equilíbrio foram utilizados a Baropodometria, Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg e o teste Time Up and Go. Somente foram encontradas diferenças significativas (p ≤ 0,05) entre os grupos no teste Time Up and Go a favor do grupo GATI (6,03±0,48 vs 6,89±0,88 s). Concluímos neste estudo que o nível de atividade física tem influência no equilíbrio dinâmico e não no equilíbrio estático de mulheres idosas.
The development of small business in the sphere of consumer market and services as a factor of economic growth (on materials of the Republic of Khakassia)
Authors: Кочеткова Елена , Kochetkova Elena , Трусова Светлана , Trusova Svetlana
Published: November 2017

This article focuses on the nature and role of small business in the sphere of consumer market and services as an important condition of economic growth. The article presents the analysis of the state of small business in the federal subjects of Russia - the Republic of Khakassia, and summarizes its development, the structure of small business by the number of enterprises in different activities. The authors estimate the small business in the sphere of consumer market and services and present the peculiarities and problems of development of entrepreneurial structures in the sphere of consumer market and services at the regional level (on the example of Republic of Khakassia). The consumer market remains one of the most important factors of economic growth in the Republic of Khakassia. The authors determine the factors contributing to the development of small business on regional level and their impact on economic growth. They note that just small businesses do not require large upfront investment and guaranteeing a high rate of turnover of resources and they can most quickly solve the problems of the formation and saturation of market with goods and services. Small businesses can quickly respond to changing consumer demand and thus they can provide the necessary balance in the consumer market. This study is limited to the territory of the Republic of Khakassia, however, the information can be applied and used in other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in the preparation of textbooks and articles.

Published: November 2017

The sorption properties of waste facade, brick, and asphalt sample towards
Sr(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions from single and multicomponent solutions were
investigated. The highest sorption capacity was found for Ni(II) ions, while
the most effective sorbent was facade. Simplex Centroid Mixture Design was
used in order to investigate the sorption processes of ions from solutions
with different composition as well as the competition between the cations.
Based on the statistical analysis results, the equations for data modeling
were proposed. According to the observations, the investigated solid matrices
can be effectively used for the liquid radioactive waste treatment.
Furthermore, the applied methodology turned out to be an easy and operational
way for the investigations of multicomponent sorption processes.

Authors: Brohi Ali , Zhang Haochun , Min-Dianey Kossi , Rafique Muhammad , Hassan Muhammad , Farooqi Saadullah
Published: November 2017

The entropy production in 2-D heat transfer system has been analyzed
systematically by using the finite volume method, to develop new criteria
for the numerical simulation in case of multidimensional systems, with the
aid of the CFD codes. The steady-state heat conduction problem has been
investigated for entropy production, and the entropy production profile has
been calculated based upon the current approach. From results for 2-D heat
conduction, it can be found that the stability of entropy production profile
exhibits a better agreement with the exact solution accordingly, and the
current approach is effective for measuring the accuracy and stability of
numerical simulations for heat transfer problems.

Authors: Wu Zhenqun , Jin Hui , Guo Leijin
Published: November 2017

Supercritical water fluidized bed is novel reactor for the efficient
gasification of coal to produce hydrogen. The Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange
methods can be used to simulate the flow behaviors supercritical water
fluidized bed. The accuracy of the simulated results with the two methods
has a great dependence on the drag coefficient model, and there is little
work focused on the study on particle?s drag force in supercritical water.
In this work, the drag coefficients of supercritical water flow past a
single particle and particle cluster. The simulated results show that the
flow field and drag coefficient of single particle at supercritical
condition have no difference to that at ambient conditions when the Reynolds
number is same. For the two-particles model, a simplification of particle
cluster, the drag coefficients of the two particles are identical at
different conditions for the same Reynolds number. The variation
characteristics with the Reynolds number and particles? positions are also
same.

In this paper, a prediction method of the temperature distribution for the
thermal stress for the throttle-regulated steam turbine rotor is proposed.
The rotor thermal stress curve can be calculated according to the preset
power requirement, the operation mode and the predicted critical parameters.
The results of the 660 MW throttle turbine rotor show that the operators are
able to predict the operation results and to adjust the operation parameters
in advance with the help of the inertial element method. Meanwhile, it can
also raise the operation level, thus providing the technical guarantee for
the thermal stress optimization control and the safety of the steam turbine
rotor under the variable load operation.

Supercritical CO2 cycle has become one of the most popular research fields of
thermal science. The selection of operation parameters on thermodynamic
cycle process is an important task. The computational model of supercritical
CO2 recompression cycle is built to solve the multi-objective problem in
this paper. Then, the optimization of parameters is performed based on
genetic algorithm. Several Kriging models are also used to reduce the
quantity of samples. According to the calculation, the influence of sample
quantity on the result and the time cost is obtained. The results show that
it is required to improve the heat transfer when improvement of the cycle
efficiency is desired.

This paper reviews the emerging computer-aided text analysis (CATA) accounting literature through proposing a model of the corpus linguistic research production process, followed by analysis of the main text archival data sources in published papers in the Top Six accounting journals from 2010 to 2016. Reviewed papers appear in a 5 × 5 matrix that includes five categories of text data (i.e., SEC filings, conference call transcripts, earnings press releases, financial analyst reports, and other sources) and five categories of text measures (i.e., tone, readability, similarity, firm characteristics and environment, and other measures). A brief review of the CATA literature published in two AIS journals is followed by a summary of the tools and KS (knowledge and skills) observed in the reviewed research. Finally, we offer implications by discussing four issues related to CATA accounting research. We conclude that the emerging CATA accounting research offers unique opportunities for knowledgeable AIS scholars.

For a person with a visual impairment, the quality of life means independence and equality with the sighted people. For this, independent travel and navigation is essential. Orientation within different types of environments is a challenge and tactile maps are key elements for this. It can also be used for learning about new routes independently. A tactile map is an image of spatial information and figure that uses raised lines and surfaces when introducing a certain area in 3D form. For a public tactile map to be useful, it has to contain consistent information for the user.

In this study we present results from a survey for the orientation and mobility (O&M) instructors of Finland about usability and ideas for improvement concerning public tactile maps. We sent the survey questionnaire for 30 O&M instructors by electronic mail and there was also a possibility to answer by paper. Altogether we received 24 answers. The main finding was that most of the O&M instructors did not use public tactile maps during the sessions.
Borges y Rulfo: otro diálogo posible
Authors: Olea Franco Rafael
Published: November 2017

Recepción: 6 de febrero de 2017; Aceptación: 22 de mayo de 2017.El primer grupo mexicano de lectores de la obra de Jorge Luis Borges surgió a inicios de la década de 1940 en Guadalajara; entre sus miembros estaban Juan José Arreola y Juan Rulfo, en cuya obra narrativa pueden encontrarse huellas del escritor argentino. A partir de la familiaridad de Rulfo con la obra inicial de Borges, este trabajo propone que existe una relación intertextual directa entre los relatos “Hombre de la esquina rosada”, de Borges, y “La Cuesta de las Comadres”, de Rulfo, incluyendo el modo narrativo de ambos textos, fundado en la construcción de una oralidad específica. Asimismo, se estudia el breve prólogo que el argentino dedicó a Pedro Páramo, novela por la cual Borges expresó una admiración permanente.
