Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kwon Suchang , Hwang Heyjung
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of hope in the process of influencing career adaptation of anxiety in college students in the New Normal era.
Methods Data were collected by measuring the size of anxiety, hope, and career adaptation for 109 college students randomly sampled from one university in Gyeonggi-do, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0.
Results First, anxiety was found to have a negative effect on career adaptation, and hope was found to have a positive effect on career adaptation. Second, in the relationship between anxiety and career adaptation, hope was found to have a mediating effect. Specifically, the path of hope thought showed a partial mediating effect on interest control, a sub-factor of career adaptation, and a complete mediating effect on curiosity and confidence. The leading thinking of hope showed a partial mediating effect on the control of career adaptation, and a complete mediating effect on curiosity and confidence.
Conclusions Based on these research results, suggestions were made on the necessity of developing customized programs for motivation considering the unique characteristics and potential of each college student in relation to anxiety, hope, and career adaptability of college students.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Hwa Rok , Kim Bo Hyun , Park Mi Kyung , Lee Hong Jae
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purposes of this study are to explore latent profiles of childcare teachers with play support competence (PSC) and to describe each latent profile characteristic.
Methods The present study conducted a survey to a total of 338 childcare teachers who were working childcare center in metropolitan. We composed PSC of childcare teacher into cognitive, affective and practical competence, and analyzed latent profiles according to their PSC level. We analyzed latent profile, which is a person-centered approach, and based on the results, we categorized the PSC profile of childcare teachers and defined their characteristics.
Results The results revealed that we classified five PSC profiles: the ‘lowest PSC profile’, which had very low levels of cognitive, affective, and practical competence related to play support, was 4.14% of all childcare teachers, the ‘low PSC profile’, which had relatively low cognitive, affective, and practical competence levels, was 19.23% of all, the ‘medium PSC profile’, which had average level of each competence, was 37.28% of all, the ‘high PSC profile’, which had relatively high level of each competence, was 22.78% of all, and the ‘highest PSC profile, which had very high level of each competence, was 16.57% of all.
Conclusions Based on the results, this study suggests that there are various groups according to the level of PSC within the childcare teacher group, rather than considering the childcare teacher as the ‘cohort group’ in relation to PSC. We also suggest that customized approach considering the profile characteristics related to PSC is required.
A Study on the Improvement of Vocational High School Practice Class a participatory observational study: A Study on Architectural Woodworking at S Technical High School in Seoul
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Minji , Kim Mingyu
Published: October 2022

Objectives This study aims to investigate and propose effective teacher guidance methods according to situations to achieve learning goals for vocational high school practice classes and provide basic data on matters to be considered when improving the laboratory environment suitable for learners.
Methods To this end, 12 students and 2 teachers who participated in the project class for acquiring a mold technician at S Industrial High School in Seoul were subjected to class observation survey and video shooting to collect data. Various teaching methods used for practical guidance and the interaction between teachers and students were investigated to analyze effective teaching methods according to situations, and behavioral patterns according to student attitudes were investigated and dataized. In addition, the usage status of the practice room by time was summarized through a survey on the movement line in the construction wood construction practice room.
Results The practical guidance was conducted in the order of evaluating the assignment after the verbal lecture, presenting the assignment to the student and performing it. The most effective teaching methods for teacher practice were individual guidance and demonstration guidance. The student's work pattern was divided into intensive and distributed work, and as a result of the movement analysis, there was a significant difference in the purpose and time of movement of the skilled and unskilled groups, and the peculiarity of practice performance.
Conclusions Individual guidance is effective, but time and energy efficiency are low, and it is necessary to utilize point guidance, student number adjustment, and auxiliary teacher system. Since demonstration guidance is greatly influenced by teacher proficiency, it is necessary to prepare and share a instructional guide manual to transfer know-how to beginner teachers. Students need continuous motivation, ambient ventilation, and presentation of assignments so that they can concentrate as much as possible. As a result of analyzing the movement lines and work patterns of students in the unskilled group, it was found that the placement of seats and the location of the storage should be considered in order to reduce the movement lines without work.
How to Embrace Values and Attitudes in Competency Based Curriculum: comparison of 2015 national curriculum and IBDP mathematics curriculum’s document
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Bitna , Cho Hyunyoung
Published: October 2022

Objectives This study analyzes curriculum documents in order to consider a way to reflect not only knowledge and skill but also value, attitudes for the curriculum pursuing competency development. In particular, it was intended to examine the significance and implications of the document system establishment method in the curriculum to cultivate competency through comparative analysis between the mathematics curriculum, which is a common high school subject, and IBDP.
Methods Considering the similarity in content between the 2015 national curriculum and the IBDP's mathematics and curriculum documents, vision, subject goals, content, teaching and learning methods, and evaluation were selected as analysis targets, and the relationship between each item was compared in a species system. Results according to the analysis of external and internal systems were presented and implications were drawn.
Results The two curriculums were designed with the purpose of cultivating knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in a balanced way. However, when comparing the structure of the two curriculum documents, each curriculum showed differences in the order of presenting the subject area, the method of connection, the tense and background context of the statement, and the definition of simplification and detailing to be delivered. In particular, it showed a difference in the way that values and attitudes were explicitly or implicitly understood through which areas and how they were dealt with.
Conclusions In this paper, the 2015 national curriculum and the IBDP mathematics curriculum have similar goals and orientations, but differences were found in the way they deal with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. Curriculum for capacity building should aim for a balanced development of values and attitudes as an affective aspect. Therefore, a comparison of the 2015 national curriculum and the IBDP curriculum document structure will give meaningful implications on how the curriculum document as a formal curriculum elicits different learning experiences.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Jina , Kim Eun Kyung
Published: October 2022

Objectives This is a qualitative study of the fine art group activity in the eyes of sociolinguistics. Using conversation analysis, this study aims to scrutinize how the actual collaborative talk dynamics take place in a student managed task-based art activity.
Methods In order to have a close look at the collaborative talk, we focused directly on face-to-face talk-in-interaction of four students’ during their two hour group activity in a college art class, ‘understanding of contemporary art’. The student managed task-based group activity was a part of liberal arts course especially in the 11th week of spring semester, 2022 at a university in Seoul, Korea. The data was collected via video recording of the two hour group discussion, and the recorded talk was all transcribed for conversation analysis which is the main tool of analyzing students’ talk.
Results The procedure of students task-based activity included the following four steps: (1) sharing and choosing an agreed task topic to work on, (2) cooperative opinion sharing for making the art work, such as materials and method (3) actual making and art work completion, (4) wrapping up and cleaning. Conversation analysis is a study of turn-taking organization of talk-in-interaction to find how the participants manage and display intersubjectivity in talk. In the students’ talk occurred in the process of the student managed group task, we found several turn-taking types resulting reciprocal support in order to develop the task product: (1) topic change, (2) other-initiated second turn repair, (3) reactive tokens, and (4) other question-answer sequences with mutually supporting verbal and nonverbal moves.
Conclusions This study is quite valuable in terms that it addressed the naturally occuring process of turn-taking sequences by analyzing students’ talk-in-interaction in depth when the students were engaged in collaborative task-based activity to complete an act work. As noted in the result, most of the various types of turn-taking lead mutual support and agreement of each other’s thought in order to produce the collaborative task completion rather than aggressive debate and disagreement.

Published: October 2022

Introducción: Streptococcus pneumoniae (neumococo) sigue siendo una causa importante de neumonía, sepsis y meningitis en niños en todo el mundo. En Ecuador, hay escasez de información sobre la enfermedad neumocócica invasiva. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que se llevó a cabo en el hospital público pediátrico de tercer nivel más grande de Quito, Ecuador. El estudio se realizó entre 2014 y 2018. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes con enfermedad neumocócica invasiva (ENI). Se identificaron serotipos de S. pneumoniae, su susceptibilidad antimicrobiana, manifestaciones clínicas y mortalidad de ENI en un hospital de tercer nivel en Quito, de 2014 a 2018. Resultados: La mayoría de los pacientes con ENI tenían menos de 2 años. La neumonía fue la presentación clínica más frecuente y el serotipo 19A fue el más prevalente. Los aislados de S. pneumoniae fueron resistentes en diferentes porcentajes a clindamicina, eritromicina, trimetoprim sulfametoxazol, penicilina, levofloxacina, ceftriaxona. Los aislados meníngeos mostraron una mayor frecuencia de resistencia a los antimicrobianos. Aunque la mayoría de los pacientes habían recibido una vacuna antineumocócica conjugada contra 10 serotipos (PCV10), aún presentaron ENI. Discusión: A pesar de que la mayoría de los pacientes (88,2%) habían recibido una vacuna antineumocócica conjugada contra 10 serotipos (PCV10), aún tenían ENI. El serotipo 19A de S. pneumoniae fue la causa más común de ENI y mostró la mayor prevalencia de resistencia a los antibióticos en los niños infectados incluidos en este estudio. Conclusiones: Los tipos de ENIs más frecuentes fueron neumonía y sepsis, el serotipo más común fue 19A. Es de extrema importancia reforzar la vigilancia epidemiológica en el país para precisar la realidad de serotipos circulantes y valorar la efectividad e impacto vacunal.

Caliraja gen. nov., a new skate genus (Rajiformes: Rajidae) from the eastern North Pacific
Authors: Ebert David A.
Published: October 2022

A new genus of skate (Caliraja gen. nov.) is described based on egg case morphology and the number of embryos per egg case. Caliraja gen. nov. egg cases differ from those of the genus Beringraja by a combination of following characteristics: egg cases relatively small in size, lacking ridges, fine striations on the capsule surface, and moderately long horns about the size of the capsule compared to the much larger Beringraja egg cases that possess distinctly prominent ridges, no striations, and short or obscure horns. The most significant difference is the new genus has a single embryo per egg case, while Beringraja have 1-9 embryos per egg case, averaging 3-5 per egg case. Evolutionarily the egg case morphology of Beringraja is more primitive than the new genus Caliraja gen. nov.

Published: October 2022

After deposition, chondrichthyan egg capsules are frequently exposed to numerous threats that affect their survival. However, the ecological factors affecting the development and survival of embryos inside egg capsules remain unclear. The aims of this study was to quantify and describe two ecological factors that affect of the Shorttail fanskate Sympterygia brevicaudata egg capsules: predation and epibiosis. The egg capsules were collected (241) stranded from Coquimbo Bay's intertidal zone in northern Chile (29°57’S; 71°18’W and 71°19’W), and examined predation marks and epibiosis of these egg capsules at different stages of development. About 32.8% of the egg capsules presented evidence of predation marks, of which 48.1% had not yet hatched. Based on our findings, the shape and size of predation marks were different from those reported in the literature. Additionally, 78% of the egg capsules presented epibiosis, of which 21% had not yet hatched. Non-hatched egg capsules with more advanced stages of development (i.e., possessing open respiratory fissures) showed a higher probability to be predated and present epibiosis than those with earlier development (closed respiratory fissures). Ecological interactions, such as predation and the settlement of epibionts, may influence demographic aspects such as hatching success and survival rate, regulating the population sizes of S. brevicaudata during the embryonic phase.
Reproductive biology of the Gorgona guitarfish Pseudobatos prahli in the central-eastern Pacific Ocean
Authors: Prieto-Veloz Mary Cruz , Calle-Morán Marcos Douglas , Tovar-Ávila Javier
Published: October 2022

Pseudobatos prahli is considered a low-medium fishing importance species in Ecuador, caught as target species and bycatch in both artisanal and industrial fisheries. Despite its importance, some basic aspects of its biology remain unknown, turning its study a priority. The aim of the present research was to describe for the first time the reproductive biology of P. prahli based on the analysis of individuals landed in the port of Santa Rosa, Province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. A total of 96 females and 165 males were sampled from January 2013 to January 2014. Females presented larger sizes (51-86 cm total length, TL) than males (51-78 cm TL), but no significant differences were found between the mean sizes of both sexes. The sexual proportion of landed individuals (0.6F:1M) suggested that free-living individuals segregate by sex, however, sex proportion of embryos was similar to the proportion 1F:1M. The number of mature individuals (64%) in the landings was larger than the immature ones (36%). Mean size at maturity (L50) of females (65.9 cm TL) was also slightly larger than that for males (61.8 cm TL). Size at birth was estimated at 22.5 cm TL. Ovarian fecundity ranged from 1 to10 and uterine fecundity from 1 to 6, and a positive but low linear relationship was found between both fecundity estimates and maternal size. Based on the comparison of some reproductive parameters, such as mean size at maturity, gestation period and fecundity, it can be concluded that P. prahli is one of the species with lowest biological productivity among the species of the same genus.
Morfología de los dentículos dérmicos del Tiburón dormilón de Galápagos Heterodontus quoyi (Elasmobranchii: Heterodontidae), una especie del Pacífico sudoriental
Authors: Kanagusuku Keny
Published: October 2022

Los dentículos dérmicos, también conocidos como escamas placoides, son estructuras que recubren el cuerpo de los tiburones, cuyas funciones son diversas e incluyen protección, defensa, bioluminiscencia e hidrodinámica, entre otras. Estas estructuras presentan una variedad de formas y tamaños y son utilizadas en estudios funcionales y taxonómicos en condrictios. A pesar de ello, son pocos los estudios que han reportado descripciones de dentículos dérmicos de diferentes regiones del cuerpo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir la morfología de los dentículos dérmicos del Tiburón dormilón de Galápagos Heterodontus quoyi, examinando muestras dérmicas de las áreas dorsal, ventral y lateral del cuerpo, además de la primera aleta dorsal. Para lograr este objetivo se recolectaron cuatro ejemplares adultos del Terminal Pesquero de Santa Rosa, Lambayeque, Perú. Los dentículos fueron fotografiados, medidos (largo y ancho), cuantificados (densidad) y descritos morfológicamente. Los resultados mostraron que los dentículos de las cuatro regiones presentaban diferencias, las cuales fueron: (1) densidad de los dentículos, (2) forma de la corona, (3) tamaño de la corona y (4) forma y número de crestas y cúspides en la corona. Estas variaciones observadas podrían ser útiles para futuros estudios de taxonomía en la identificación de especie y ecología como la relación entre su función y región del cuerpo.
Research on chimaera with a thematical focus for life history: A scientometric analysis
Authors: Oliveira Cicero Diogo , Santos Lucia Vanessa , Oliveira Carlos Yure
Published: October 2022

Chimaera, represented by 52 species, are deep-sea animals, therefore difficult to access for study; moreover, they are vulnerable to fishing due to their k-strategic characteristics. Despite being vulnerable, there are few studies on its life history, which makes it difficult to understand the population status of the species. Life-history parameters are essential in population ecology to assess the status and trends of population. In this study, it was proposed to evaluate the publication trends on Chimaera and the gaps in knowledge, analyzing which subject and species are most frequently studied. For this, the scientometric method was used, based on search of articles using a group of words directed to Chimaera in databases of bibliographic references (Scopus® and Web of ScienceTM). The articles were classified by year of publication, authors' location (at the country level), focus species and subject matter. The number of articles per year showed an exponential growth trend, indicating that studies on chimaera have been increased. Among the authors’countries, such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, are prominent. The most studied species were: Hydrolagus colliei, Callorhinchus milii and Chimaera monstrosa. The main themes of the articles were anatomy, morphology and physiology, followed by systematics and evolution. The most diminished research topics were fishing and growth, for almost all species. Therefore, even with the growth trend, more effort and reinforcement is still required in the research of these fish, mainly in the aspects on fishery, growth, and reproduction themes.
Combining morphological and molecular information to infer phylogenetic relationships of lamniform sharks
Authors: Cona Sebastián , Cornejo Claudio , Hernández Sebastián , Ibáñez Christian M.
Published: October 2022

Sharks of the order Lamniformes are restricted to 15 extant species grouped into 10 genera and 8 families. These species are characterized by two spine-less dorsal fins and a ring-shaped intestinal valve. Their phylogenetic relationships are not congruent among different methods and approaches, such as the use of morphological or molecular data. The present study evaluates the phylogenetic relationships of species of the order Lamniformes by means of phylogenetic reconstructions through Bayesian inference based on morphological and molecular data and using both datasets combined. The consensus tree of the morphological Bayesian reconstruction shows that Lamnidae and Alopiidae are monophyletic, while Odontaspididae is polyphyletic. Eight synapomorphies are detected in Alopiidae, six in Lamnidae, and one for Odontaspididae. In the Bayesian molecular reconstruction consensus tree, Lamnidae and Odontaspididae are monophyletic, and Alopiidae is polyphyletic. In the consensus tree of the Bayesian reconstruction of combined data, Lamnidae, Alopiidae and, Odontaspididae are monophyletic. The results obtained suggest that posterior probabilities increase when using combined characters in a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, which is greatly advantageous for systematics of the order Lamniformes. Due to the presence of non-monophyletic groups, monotypic families, and the strong support for the division of lamniforms into two clades, a crucial review for the classification of species is needed.

Published: October 2022

En la modelación de la relación longitud-peso (RLP) en tiburones siempre se ha ajustado el modelo potencial [modelo lineal (L) en versión logarítmica], nunca se ha aplicado la inferencia multimodelo (IMM) y siempre se ha asumido un crecimiento constante en todas las fases del desarrollo ontogénico. El tiburón martillo cabeza de pala (Sphyrna tiburo) del Golfo de México, no es la excepción. Mediante la modelación de la RLP en hembras (H), machos (M) y sexos combinados (C) de S. tiburo, y aplicando la IMM [modelos (L), cuadrático, cúbico, broken-stick (BS), dos segmentos (DS), BS y DS con transición logística entre segmentos] basada en la teoría de la información (TI), se probó la hipótesis de que el ajuste de L es insuficiente para describir la RLP en tiburones. Ningún modelo fue seleccionado con un peso de evidencia a su favor (wi%) mayor al 90%. La IMM evidenció un ajuste insuficiente en L (wi% = 0,86, 72,70 y 0,45%, en H, M y C, respectivamente), y significativo en el modelo promedio (wi%= 99,14, 27,30 y 99,55%, en H, M y C respectivamente); y demostró que el crecimiento cambia en función de la talla y presenta un marcado cambio morfológico en cierta talla específica, manifestado por los tres tipos de crecimiento registrados en H y C [alométrico negativo (CAN) y positivo (CAP), y crecimiento isométrico (CI)], y los dos en M (CI y CAP), cuyos cambios entre tipos de crecimiento fueron coincidentes con el cambio de dieta juvenil-adulto y el inicio de la madurez sexual, reportados por la literatura.
Estimation of the length-length relationship in commercially important sharks of the Mexican Pacific Northwest
Authors: Carrillo-Colín L. Daniel , Castillo-Géniz J. Leonardo , Bada-Sánchez Esteban
Published: October 2022

Most shark records are reported using different types of measurements; thus, length-to-length conversion parameters are needed to standardize and compare the available data as a function of different size measures. Shark biological information collected in the Mexican Pacific Northwest between 2006 and 2019 was used to estimate total fork length/precaudal length relationships for nine shark species. A total of 95,814 specimens were analyzed for length estimates, and a simple linear regression described all relationships correctly with a strong positive relationship (r > 0.80). The use of the present equations will allow more reliable population comparisons based on shark size.

Published: October 2022

The determination of the optimal sample size is important to obtain an adequate estimation of the size frequency distribution, as well as consistent estimators of the population parameters corresponding to the size composition, such as the mean value. In this work, the optimal sample size was determined to obtain a consistent estimate of the mean and a representative length frequencies distribution for Mustelus schmitti caught by artisanal and industrial fisheries off the Uruguayan coast. With representative samples, the mean estimators, its confidence interval, and the median with the 25 and 75% quartiles could be used to analyze temporal trends related to changes in the size structure.

Published: October 2022

Initially, corporate social responsibility (CSR) implementation was a voluntary commitment of the company to the environment and to society. However, nowadays, the implementation of CSR becomes a corporate obligation. The obligation to implement CSR can influence all stakeholders and be influenced by the company’s business operations. Based on the phenomenon of obligation and increasing implementation of CSR in coal mining companies by using theoretical foundations laid by Gregory, Tharyan, and Whittaker (2014) and Crisóstomo, de Souza Freire, and Cortes de Vasconcellos (2011). The purpose of this research is to explore CSR practices and their impact on firm value to business sustainability in coal companies in the East Kalimantan Province. This research is designed and presented with qualitative methods, to explore and understand the meaning. The results show CSR practices of coal companies are not only to comply with applicable laws and regulations, but they also intend to create long-term positive impacts for stakeholders from stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, and social contract theory points of view. This is because CSR practices are focused on responsibility towards the society or community. Moreover, this research is expected to be used in increasing knowledge and meaning regarding the application of CSR in strategic management in dealing with good corporate governance.

A very rare condition, pyogenic sacroiliitis is responsible for 1%-2% of all osteoarticular infections in children. Diagnosis is often delayed in the pediatric population due to non-specific signs and symptoms during presentation, difficulty in assessing the joint, more common differential diagnosis and low yield diagnostic findings in conventional radiography. A delayed diagnosis of this condition can lead to permanent joint damage. A 9-month-old presented to the emergency department with a history of fever, being unsettled and clingy along with refusal to weight bear over the past few days. On initial assessment, she was found to be tachycardic and afebrile with abnormal posture of her left leg held in external rotation at the hip joint. On examination, she refused to weight bear, presented with alternating tenderness of her left and right hip joints and spinal tenderness at the L5 position. Investigations done showed slightly raised inflammatory counts, normal hip and pelvic radiographs, normal hip ultrasound and blood culture growing staphylococcus aureus and Magnetic Resonance Imaging spine showing right sacroiliitis leading the diagnosis of pyogenic sacroiliitis. This case report highlights the importance of examination of the back and the importance of avoiding fixation error by history. Although rare, clinicians should consider the diagnosis of sacroiliitis in children who present with fever, being unsettled with decreased and painful movements around the pelvic region.

Published: October 2022

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the haploinsufficiency of one of the various genes that are part of the Brahma/BRG1-associated factor (BAF) complex. The BAF complex is one of the chromatin remodeling complexes, involved in embryonic and neural development, and various gene mutations are associated with cognitive impairment. CSS has a highly variable genotype and phenotype expression, thus lacking standardized criteria for diagnosis. It is generally accepted to associate 5th digit/nail hypoplasia, intellectual disability (ID)/developmental delay and specific coarse facial features. CSS patients usually display miscellaneous cardiac, genitourinary and central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. Many patients also associate intrauterine growth restriction, failure to thrive and short stature, with several cases demonstrating growth hormone deficiency (GHD). We report the case of a 4-year-old girl with severe short stature (-3.2 standard deviations) due to pituitary hypoplasia and GHD that associated hypoplastic distal phalanx of the 5th digit in the hands and feet, severe ID, coarse facial features (bushy eyebrows, bulbous nose, flat nasal bridge, dental anomalies, thick lips, dental anomalies, bilateral epicanthal fold) and CNS anomalies (agenesis of the corpus callosum and bilateral hippocampal atrophy), thus meeting clinical criteria for the diagnosis of CSS. Karyotype was 46,XX. The patient was started on GH replacement therapy, with favorable outcomes. Current practical knowledge regarding CSS diagnosis and management from the endocrinological point of view is also reviewed.

Amiodarone, a primarily class III antiarrhythmic drug is one of the most commonly used drug in atrial fibrillation. A possible rare side effect of amiodarone treatment is to develop a diffuse parenchymal lung disorder - amiodarone pulmonary toxicity (APT). There is no pathognomonic finding to diagnose APT. A 64-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities presented in our hospital with worsening a five-month history of grade 3 mMRC dyspnea, wheezing, frequent nonproductive cough, fatigue. She has a medical history of atrial fibrillation in treatment with amiodarone 400mg/day for 2 years. Her oxygen saturation was 90% on room air, chest radiography showed disseminated lung irregular opacities with a tendency to confluence in right and left lung and chest computed tomography scan showed asymmetric centrilobular nodules and asymmetrical areas of dense ground glass opacity with few consolidation. Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity was suspected, the drug was stopped and treatment with methylprednisolone started. Worsening and progression of the disease can still be noted despite stopping amiodarone because of the long persistence and elimination of the drug, with the tendency to concentrate in tissues, such as lung. In our patient case the evolution and prognosis were good even the case illustrates neglected effects of amiodarone, potential severe one.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between favorableness of job conditions and organizational silence, and to examine the mediating effects of communication types on the relationships. For this study, a sample of 222 care workers working in Daegu was collected and analyzed. Frequency analyses, basic statistical analyses, and correlation analyses were used by the SPSS version 25.0, and parallel multiple mediation model was analyzed by the PROCESS Macro version 3.5. Also, bootstrapping was used for significance tests. Results showed that favorableness of job conditions didn't have a direct impact on organizational silence. In multiple mediation analyses, open communication between upper and lower parties involved as well as cooperative communication between workers had full mediating impacts on the relationships between favorableness of job conditions and organizational silence. However, the communication for quality of information didn't have mediating impacts. Based on these findings, this study discusses policy and practical implications to promote favorableness of job conditions and to decrease organizational silence.

Lim kinase (Limk), as an important cytoskeletal regulator, plays an important role in cancer manifestations and neuronal diseases. Limk1 is a member of the Limk family, which is mainly involved in the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells and is abnormally expressed in a variety of cell carcinoma tissues. In this paper, a series of Limk1 inhibitors with aminothiazole skeleton were used to design potent and efficient Limk1 inhibitors by computational approaches. Firstly, the 3D-QSAR model was constructed, and both CoMFA and CoMSIA models have good correlation and prediction ability. The binding requirements between ligand and receptor protein were then further explored through molecular docking, including the critical forces between Limk1 inhibitors and active site residues. Finally, based on the 3D-QSAR model and molecular docking results analysis, three new compounds with theoretically better activity were designed and their ADME properties were predicted.

Objective: To explore the impact of improved intensive care for COVID-19 patients on the prevalence of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS).Design: Ambispective cohort study.Patients: Post-intensive care unit COVID-19 patients from the first and second waves of COVID-19.Methods: Patients were evaluated at 6 months after infection. PICS was defined as the presence of a 1-min sit-to-stand test (1STS) score < 2.5th percentile or a Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) below the 2 standard deviation cut-off, or a Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score ≥ 11.Results: A total of 60 patients were included (34 from wave 1 and 26 from wave 2). Intensive care unit management improved between waves, with shorter duration of orotracheal intubation (7 vs 23.5 days, p = 0.015) and intensive care unit stay (6 vs 9.5 days, p = 0.006) in wave 2. PICS was present in 51.5% of patients after wave 1 and 52% after wave 2 (p = 0.971). Female sex and diabetes were significantly associated with PICS by multivariate analysis.Conclusion: Approximately half of post-intensive care unit COVID-19 patients have 1 or more impairments consistent with PICS at 6 months, with an impact on quality of life and participation. Improved intensive care unit management was not associated with a decrease in the prevalence of PICS. Identification of patients at risk, particularly women and diabetic patients, is essential. Further studies of underlying mechanisms and the need for rehabilitation are essential to reduce the risk of PICS.
LAY ABSTRACTCOVID-19 infection can lead to hospitalization in an intensive care unit (ICU). Some patients experience physical, mental or emotional symptoms after ICU admission, collectively termed post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). It was hypothesized that improvements in management in the ICU between the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic may have had a positive impact on the prevalence of PICS. In the current study, according to the definition proposed, However, the results of this study showed that, according to the definition proposed, half of all post-ICU COVID-19 patients had PICS at 6 months after infection, with no difference between waves, despite improvements in care in the ICU. In the current study, women and patients with diabetes were most frequently affected. Improving care at the acute phase seems to be insufficient to prevent PICS post-COVID. It seems necessary to improve care programmes and follow-up after the acute phase in order to prevent and manage PICS and improve quality of life for these patients.
No tempo dividido - Mistagogia da temporalidade na poesia de Sophia
Authors: Teixeira José Rui
Published: October 2022

A poesia de Sophia é também uma questão de tempo. É dentro do tempo que se escuta a sua aspiração à unidade e à inteireza. Trata-se de uma poesia eivada de incertezas; mesmo quando revela a posse de uma luminosidade, guarda ainda sombras subtis; mesmo quando os seus contornos intocados sugerem a lisura da superfície, não omite as suas asperezas, a litania rumorosa dos seus augúrios, o lamento – em melopeia – do tempo dividido. O tempo não é encarado apenas como duração, mas sobretudo como intensidade; não é tanto um «tempo quando», mas um «tempo onde». Sendo um «livro de passagem», No tempo dividido (1954) é como uma crisálida, um grito de resgate. É entre a pátria perdida e o corpo perdido que se entretece uma mistagogia da temporalidade. Entre naufrágios, desastres e destroços, Sophia teve «o futuro por memória»; entre o pensamento sem rosto, os gestos sem peso e o olhar atento que nenhum acaso desvia, como Antígona, a sua poesia sobreleva: «Eu sou aquela que não aprendeu a ceder aos desastres».
Carisma e missão renovados:

O Concílio Vaticano II foi um evento que modificou o caminhar da Igreja. Como disse o Papa João XXIII na abertura, era necessário um aggiornamento, deixar bons ares circular na Igreja. A Vida Consagrada não ficou fora dessa revisão e precisou passar por uma renovação, concretamente desenvolvida no documento Perfectae Caritatis que, somado aos demais documentos conciliares e do pós-concílio, suscitaram um novo jeito de ser à Vida Consagrada. É deste cenário que surge o Irmão Basílio Rueda, eleito no pós-Concílio como Superior Geral do Instituto dos Irmãos Maristas, para a recepção da teologia dos carismas da Vida Consagrada e sua pertinência ao Instituto Marista. Alguns de seus métodos são destaques como as Cartas Circulares e os retiros de renovação, que o possibilitaram visitar todas as províncias do mundo.  Iniciando assim, a recepção e a renovação dos Irmãos Maristas às propostas Conciliares.
Vocação, liberdade e evangelização

Nosso tempo é marcado pela ambiguidade, cujas implicações para o sujeito e instituições são sentidas na absolutização das individualidades e ausência de sentidos. A experiência cristã é desafiada por esse contexto, sendo motivada a revisitar, discernir e repropor seus referenciais. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as noções de vocação, liberdade e evangelização à luz da experiência do discernimento, segundo Francisco, tendo em vista a identificação de possíveis articulações entre tais pautas da experiência cristã e a realidade atual. As referidas noções nos auxiliam na compreensão da importância do discernimento em face dos pluralismos contemporâneos.
“conflito” da Metafísica da realidade de Xavier Zubiri
Authors: Fernández Tejada José , Da Silva Bernardes Matheus
Published: October 2022

O pensar e a Filosofia criaram uma arena de discórdias no lugar de uma ágora na polis mundial. A sociedade em crise se digladia inventando “novos saberes científicos”, que se fundamentam, porém, nos mesmos princípios conceituais que criticam, pretendendo enterrar a Metafísica. A Fenomenologia e a Física Quântica começaram a usar o método descritivo, deixando em segundo plano o explicativo; a experiência humana é anterior aos conceitos e às teorias. O século XX foi uma época de grandes interrogações, invenções e progresso, mas também de guerras e desigualdades. Xavier Zubiri, que viveu nesse século inseguro e criativo, não se limitou a repetir ou anexar saberes concipientes; ele teve a inspiração radical de que a realidade é anterior ao ser e identificou, como raiz da problemática de seu tempo, o dualismo da realidade humana e das formas representativas do real; na tentativa de enriquecer a essência, surgiram formas representacionais e subjetivas. Em sua inspiração, o filósofo espanhol, juntamente com as Ciências, provocou o giro da Filosofia concipiente: das ideias para o real, da representação do real para sua apresentação; ele abriu passo para um saber metafísico do real num caminho senciente apontando um horizonte intramundano, real e senciente do qual o ser humano não devia ter saído.
