Children with special needs (ABK) are individuals who have different characteristics from individuals physically, intellectually and emotionally. Children with special needs need special education and services to optimize their potential in learning activities. Gadgets as one of the learning media that have many advantages can help children with special needs in the learning process. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the media (gadgets) can create effective learning activities for students with special needs in the classroom. This study uses qualitative methods by observing learning activities for English subjects for 2 weeks. The results showed that the use of devices by students with special needs can make it easier for students to access subject matter and help to do assignments from the teacher.
VARIÁVEIS SOCIODEMOGRÁFICAS E OS CONSUMIDORES DE ALIMENTOS ORGÂNICOS NO BRASIL
Authors: Iwaya Gabriel Horn , Steil Andrea Valéria
Published: March 2021

Em paralelo ao crescimento do mercado de alimentos orgânicos, crescem as pesquisas que investigam quem são os consumidores de alimentos orgânicos. Essa pesquisa foi elaborada com o objetivo de verificar a existência de associações entre variáveis sociodemográficas e grupos de consumidores de alimentos convencionais e orgânicos. Foi utilizado o método de levantamento com amostragem não probabilística e coleta de dados online. A análise de dados utilizou técnicas estatísticas descritivas e de associação. Os resultados revelaram a inexistência de associações significativas entre as variáveis sociodemográficas sexo, faixa etária, escolaridade, renda, estado civil e os grupos de consumidores de alimentos convencionais e orgânicos. Estudos futuros podem considerar investigar fatores psicológicos (crenças, percepções, atitudes) dos consumidores com relação ao consumo de alimentos orgânicos.

Six species of wood were studied by combined thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) so as to evaluate their combustion properties in terms of the amount of energy released, the initial temperature of ignition, and the cleanness of burning. Pinus monticola, Acer saccharum, Quercus rubra, Diospyrus spp., Tabebuia spp. and Guaiacum spp. were chosen to provide a wide range of hardness values and densities. Quercus rubra burned to the hottest temperature of the samples, and also left the least amount of ash behind. For Guaiacum spp. its burning temperature is in the middle of the peak temperatures for other woods – while its final amount of ash is considerably larger than in the other samples. There is no connection between the wood density and the parameters characterizing the burning process.

In this work the synthesis technology of zinccontaining polymer - inorganic composite on the basis of products of secondary raw material processing at joint precipitating with carbamide and formaldehyde (ZnCFO) is described. The structure and properties of ZnCFO are investigated by the differential-thermal analysis, electronic microscopy, and IR-spectroscopy. The action of ZnCFO as vulcanization active component of elastomeric compositions on the basis of rubbers of general and special purpose with various vulcanization systems is investigated. The ZnCFO influence on the character of the formed morphological structure of rubbers is determined by the method of percalation analysis.
Reforms of the Gabonese education system: What challenges?
Authors: Paulin MBA Eyeghe Jean
Published: March 2021

In the field of education, the idea that an educational system can improve is not just an act of faith. Empirical research in social sciences and organizational management has shown that such improvement can only be achieved through reforms and their efficient implementation. However, studies have shown that, in a similar social context, certain approaches produce opposite effects. This article presents an overview of the reforms of the Gabonese education system from the 1960s to the present day. It has examined the main administrative acts that have framed the content of its reforms, highlighting significant advances in terms of material and social achievements. We noted that the Gabonese education system from the 1960s to the 1970s increased the schooling of young people to more than 90%. Twenty years later, the system was dysfunctional in terms of a shortage of qualified teachers, classrooms and quality of education. Added to this is the high rate of repetition and school failure. Thus, the manner in which education reforms are carried out in Gabon explains the delays noted.

“隔離”侵犯了人們的自由權嗎？——對中國大陸有關“隔離”法律制度的倫理思考
Authors: CAO Yongfu
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.跳出事件觀察事件，可能更有利於對事件準確地分析、認清。在人類已經基本控制住SARS 流行的今天，俯瞰中國大陸對SARS的防控過程，可能會更加理性。本文僅從有關“隔離”法律規定對“自由限制”的視角，展開討論。Investigating an issue from outside will help to analyze and identify it. Nowadays, we can control the spread of SARS and understand it in a more reasonable way through the overview of the prevention and cure of SARS in Mainland China.In the process of controlling and curing the new infectious disease, SARS, Mainland China’s government made a new law which was very successful, but its enaction and enforcement caused many problems which should be reflected upon, such as the rule of quarantine.To quarantine means to segregate people with infectious diseases. It is a good way to protect the uninfected people. It helps to control the spread of SARS. However, at the same time it limits people’s freedom. On one side, it is necessary for the government to segregate people with infectious diseases, but on the other side, the government needs to consider the limitations of freedom caused by the new law. This paper will discuss whether the people’s freedom will be limited by the rule of quarantine in Mainland China.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 38 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
履行知情同意原則在中國傳統倫理下的困境
Authors: LI Yan
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.知情同意是尊重人的自主原則在診療環節的重要實踐，也是當代生命倫理學的重要組成之一，但在中國的履行卻體現出與其在西方社會建立起來的原有狀態中不同的特色。本文試圖探討形成這樣的特色與中國傳統倫理因素——例如“儒家、道家”——之間的關係，挖掘其可能的思想、制度、倫理淵源。在文章的最後，還對中國傳統倫理在當代正在發生變革的現狀及其對履行知情同意原則的積極作用進行了簡單的闡釋。The informed consent has been practiced as a clinical and ethical principle for many years in China. With traditional emphasis on the family as a whole and a hierarchical social structure there is a strong ethic of indebtedness and obligations for one family member to others. Within this moral framework there is a special need for evoking a sense of self-restraint and communal responsibility towards the well-being of a family instead of an individual. As a result, the implementation of the informed consent in China sometimes takes a different direction. This paper intends to explore how traditional values systems, namely Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism inf luence the way of the informed consent is interpreted and practiced. The paper has offered several specific medical cases to show the diff iculties in excising the principle of informed consent due to an absence of individual autonomy needed for a general requirement of competency and a lack of public medical information. Finally, I shall discuss the possibility of“ modernizing” traditional ethics.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 146 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

自然生命的倫理思慮
Authors: ZHOU Guowen
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.以老莊的道家思想為憑鑒，切入對自然之物的生命倫理審視，萬物的發端離不開生命之道，生命的兩重價值在於健康與自由。理解生命之端倪在於合乎自然，它不僅善待自然界中的有機物與無機物，而且有效地遵循自然界的生命規律。對人類生命與自然生命的關係的認識是在交互超越主義的框架下進行，它們之間無所不在、無時不在的互動提供了一種視域融合式的自然辨證法觀念。在一個更寬廣的生命倫理學層面，我們必須把生命主體的範圍由人類推廣至自然界的所有生物，它們的生命不僅與人類一樣擁有內在價值，而且也應該被賦予道德權利。對自然生命的倫理審視，是對人類在生命倫理學的生態系統層面所提出的要求。自然生命保護的倫理原則，基本上可歸類為：健康原則、權利原則、自主原則、公正原則、關懷原則與尊重原則。Daoism is a life philosophy that concerns living in line with the rules and patterns of nature. It is ecocentric instead of anthropocentric. In other words, Daoism sees the universe as an organic whole in which there is an intrinsic interconnectedness between the natural world (including animals) and human beings. The two values emphasized by Daoism are health and freedom, both of which are linked to the Daoist conception of nature and naturalness. The Daoist idea of naturalness (ziran) is based on the cosmological view that all things come from the Dao and that all things transform according to its pattern.This essay examines the Daoist ethics of “natural life” and how it is understood within the bigger picture of an ecosystem shared by all living things. The author contends that the principle of health—the physical and spiritual well-being of a person—and the principle of human freedom should be associated with the ecological concerns of today.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 544 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
《莊子》的生命倫理觀與臨終關懷
Authors: ZHANG Ellen Y.
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.臨終關懷也稱為“安寧療護”、“善終服務”、“寧養服務”，主要指對生命臨終病人及其家屬進行生活護理、醫療護理、心理護理、社會服務等的關懷照顧，是現代社會一種強調身—心—靈的全人、全家、全社會、以及全程的全方位醫療方式。其目的是為臨終者及家屬提供心理及靈性上的支持照顧，使臨終者達到最佳的生活品質，並使家屬順利度過與親人分離的悲傷階段。本文以現代生死學為框架，從道家哲學，特別是《莊子》一書中所體現的生命倫理觀，探討構建道家臨終關懷的可能性與現實性。In the past, the term “hospice” was rooted in the centuries-old idea of offering a place of shelter and rest, or “hospitality,” to weary and sick travelers on long journeys. In 1967, Dame Cicely Saunders first applied the term “hospice” to the specialized care of dying patients at St. Christopher's Hospice in London. In the contemporary world, hospice care now refers to care that is targeted specifically at terminally ill patients. Sometimes called “end-of-life” care, hospices aim to provide humane and compassionate care for people in the last phases of an incurable disease, so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible.This essay discusses issues relating to hospice care in China, from the framework of the philosophy of death and dying and the Daoist viewpoint on life and death, as outlined in the Zhuangzi. According to Zhuangzi, the world of experience is constantly transforming and death is part of that transformation. Hence, it is possible for the adaptive qualities of the perfectly well-adjusted person to remain balanced in the midst of this maelstrom of change and transformation. This realization of the impermanence of life and the transient nature of worldly fame and wealth leads to the Daoist ethical positions of “non-attachment” (wuzhi) and “non-self” (wuwo), which can help the individual to ultimately transcend the dichotomy between life and death, or life-affirmation and life-egation.This essay argues that a positive view towards life and death,as represented in Daoism, can help the patient and their family to deal with the pain of terminal illness. The essay also points out that good hospice care, which includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient, is an ethical and social issue that requires attention from both academia and society. The ideal model for hospice care should involve H (Hospitality), O (Organized Care), S (Symptom Control), P (Psychological Support); (Individual Care), (Communication), and E (Education).DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 1423 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
醫學的工具理性與儒家的中庸之道
Authors: ZHENG Linjuan
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.中國現代社會醫學領域中出現的種種怪異現象，不幸印證了這樣一個事實：現代醫學的發展與人類發展醫學之真實目的顯現出背道而馳的趨向。本文以上海某醫院一系列引人深思的事件解析其中的原因，規範醫院的行為確實離不開外在的監督，但筆者認為更深層次的原因是科學主義所導致的現代科學迷信和個別醫務工作者的私慾膨脹，最終歸結為工具理性膨脹對上海某醫院一系列引人深思的事件難辭其咎。針對以上弊端，我們可以從中國儒家思想中尋找到應對的思想資源：首先闡明儒家對科學技術的態度；其次闡明儒家的義利觀；最後闡明儒家的科技態度和義利觀得以實現的路徑——中庸之道。通過對儒家思想的現代轉化，可以用於超越和克服現代醫學領域中的工具理性弊病。Recent years have witnessed various unusual events in the medical field in China. This essay explores one particular event that has attracted intense attention and generated broad discussion: the use of a new but unapproved and unaccredited medical technique in a large Shanghai hospital that caused the death of a patient. Also examined are the series of incidents that led up to this tragic occurrence. Such events and incidents indicate that modern scientific medicine in China has taken a direction that may not be consistent with medicine as health care. Specifically, recent medical developments show an instrumentalist rationality – medicine as a tool for scientific development rather than the treatment of illness and disease.This essay argues that the trend in China towards scientism and instrumentalism in medicine must be overcome by drawing on the moral and intellectual resources of Confucianism. It contends that the Confucian middle way is exactly what is needed to change the current direction in Chinese medical development. First, Confucianism sees science and technology as tools for human flourishing. The current focus on scientism – which seems to hold that science and technology have intrinsic values – is mistaken and should be corrected. Chinese medical technological innovation and application must be directed and mediated by the Confucian moral values of human flourishing and happiness. Second, Confucianism does not reject the gaining of material wealth or medical profit through the practice of medicine, but does require that medical activities be constrained by Confucian virtues, including humanity and righteousness, to ensure that unrighteous profit is not made. The essay concludes by contending that the practice of medicine should be based on embracing the so-called middle way, namely, Confucian virtues and moral concerns, rather than pursuing advanced scientific and technological development.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 134 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
導言: 生死決策的西方思想困境與儒家軟實力

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese本期首先推出邊林對中國大陸生命倫理學的形成及三十年來的發展歷程進行總結和反思的論文。本文富有哲學見地，且不作現實粉飾，實話實說，值得關心這一學科的人認真閱讀。在邊林看來，一種學問的本質乃是對一個事物的邏輯構建，而任何事物的合理的邏輯構建都必須與這個事物的實際發展過程以及人們對它的認識過程相統一。生命倫理學當然也不例外，其合理的構建勢必是一種邏輯體系的構建。所以，歷史與邏輯的統一是考察具有哲學特性的生命倫理學學科的重要認識視角和方法根據。邊林認為生命倫理學在美國的產生與發展在本質上體現了歷史與邏輯的統一。生命倫理學肇始於美國，恰恰是在美國社會特定歷史階段的文化與科學兩大洪流衝擊下的產物：既是具有顯著學理特徵的西方現代、後現代哲學和倫理學向生命道德領域延伸和擴展的結果，也是科學技術特別是生命科學技術開始進入快速發展期帶來的社會觀念、社會心理以及倫理標準調整、醫學和生命倫理難題大量湧現導致強烈現實需求的產物。它是在一定意義上完成了對醫學倫理學的一個超越，用更寬闊的視野和更深入的思考來認識、評價生命的道德問題，並且將這一學科置於西方倫理傳統和現代思想完整而系統的本體論承諾上。無論道德多元化為“道德異鄉人”之間帶來多少道德矛盾和差異，西方生命倫理學大體都是在自由主義的旗幟下尋求行為的道德解釋和道德根據。相對比，中國大陸生命倫理學的形成過程恰恰缺失了西方生命倫理學所具有的這種統一性。在邊林看來，中國生命倫理學的形成與發展本來也應該是歷史與邏輯的統一，可惜的是，事實並非如此。由於特定歷史階段中國社會現實以及思想和人文環境的原因，中國大陸的生命倫理學在其形成階段就存在先天性的缺陷。而且，在其發展過程中，先天缺陷並沒有得到矯正，邏輯演化過程出現了失常。邊林概述的這種缺陷和失常，在本期其他論文所論述的問題上也得到了印證和例示，諸如蔡昱所討論的臨床醫療決策權之歸屬問題，姜蘭姝等所關注的老人長期照護問題，鄧蕊所探討的倫理審查的制度歷史、運行現狀與困境問題，以及李菊萍所報告的DNA 親子鑒定的倫理與法律問題。最後，邊林深刻地指出，中國現在所具有的生命倫理學並不是、至少從根本意義上說還不是中國自己的生命倫理學，因為它所具有的並不是生長在與它應該相連的根系上，因而不能形成以此為基礎的本體論承諾。從這種意義上我們可以認為中國還沒有生命倫理學，所以中國的生命倫理學就必然產生需要建構的問題。DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 23 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
DNA 親子鑒定的倫理與法律思考: 以未成年人權益保護為視角
Authors: LI Juping
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.中國大陸 DNA 親子鑒定機構日益增多，但缺乏統一標準和法律監管，訴訟外個人申請親子鑒定數量攀升，DNA 親子鑒定的技術分析異化為一些男性“鑒妻定子”的工具，其結果傷害了無辜的孩子。分析指出，僅靠道德約束不能消除DNA 親子鑒定機構間的無序的商業化運作，從而減少給未成年人造成的傷害。建議儘快制定“親子鑒定法”，確認子女利益最佳原則、親子鑒定受限原則和親子關係推定原則，建立親子鑒定監管機制、確立親子鑒定機構的考核標準和DNA 親子鑒定的認定標準、嚴格限定親子鑒定的範圍和申請人、規定親子鑒定的複檢制度、資料保護和DNA 隱私保密制度。Due to the ever increasing number of family disputes over the identification of children in mainland China, more couples are turning to DNA tests to disclose the identification of their children. The number of DNA test agencies has significantly increased in recent years, and it is reported that the number of tests has increased by 20% every year. In some developed areas such as Guangdong province, the annual rate of increase is as high as 40-50%. These DNA test agencies seem to be free of any authoritative supervision or legal regulation, and operate with commercial motives. There is thus a danger that DNA tests are being abused in practice.This essay argues that it is not enough to simply discuss the moral issues involved in using DNA tests. It is crucially important to formulate proper policy and law to supervise and regulate DNA testing agencies to protect the innocent children involved in such cases. The essay proposes and argues for the adoption of several principles to guide the formulation of proper policy and law in this regard. The first is the principle of the best interests of the child, which should be promoted to protect the children involved. The second is the principle of restriction, which should set down certain conditions to limit the use of DNA identification tests. The third is the principle of constructive parent-child relations, which could be used to determine parent-child relations without the need for a DNA test. Based on these principles, this essay proposes that China should set up a proper standard to measure the qualification of DNA testing agencies, and establish a suitable regulatory mechanism to manage them.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 257 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

Modern society can be identified as a capitalist civilization, rapidly developing through the accumulation of capital in the process of entrepreneurial (primarily innovative scientific and technical) activities, which radically transformed the world around us and ensured the progress of mankind. Fighting against the closed elite-hierarchical religious system of the Premodern (traditional society), Modern (capitalism) raised the slogan: Freedom, Equality, Fraternity, which, according to its ideologists, could be realized on the basis of the secular democratic structure of society and scientific and technological progress. The article says that ultraeconomics is an economy that is not justified by anything (labor, capital, innovation etc.). The necessary condition for the victory of ultraeconomics was the destruction of scientific and rational reason, morality and conscience. This dirty work was done by countermodernism and ultra-liberalism. The victory of countermodernism, ultra-liberalism and ultra-economism led to the state of Postmodernism, and then to the global financial and economic crisis, the way out of which is impossible in the Postmodern paradigm.
Applying Project-Based Learning In Teaching Statistical Methods
Authors: Soo-Cheng Chuah  , Zarina binti Denan  , JS Keshminder Singh
Published: March 2021

Teaching and learning processes can be effectively improved when the learning activities encounter an individual’s experience and interaction with their surrounding environments. Such interaction is highly significant throughout the learning process due to its role in enabling student participation and learning knowledge integration. This paper presents the option of teaching pedagogy for statistics teaching via project-based learning. This teaching method conduces cognitive development during the learning process by fostering active learning as it implements the application as opposed to the memorisation of statistical concepts. Therefore, a project was carried out with underpinned a common topic by all groups of students. The approach was incorporated in an undergraduate Statistical Methods class consisted of 34 business economics students in which they were to evaluate the learning process at the end of the course. Data collection consisted of closed-form and open-ended questions directed to the students for them to express their perceptions of project-based learning. The results showed that throughout the phases of project-based learning implementation, the students found that the processes of data presentation and analysis and research result discussion were challenging phases. They revealed the need for adjustment while carrying out a project, which was in line with the insight regarding the benefits and limitations faced by population. In particular, the aspect of limitations included the complexity of group work relationships and accessibility of resources applied in the project, while the benefit aspects are an increased level of student engagement in the learning process and their understanding of statistical concepts.

Published: March 2021

The famous financial scandal of Enron, WorldCom and 1 Malaysia Development Berhad has harmed the auditor’s reputation as the protector of shareholders’ rights. Auditors have done their part by conducting systematic audit procedures and “What Could Go Wrong” analysis in assessing the possible risk area to assist fraud detection in the client’s financial matters. However, fraud cases never seem to decline. Regardless of any safeguarding measures established, fraud incidents can just occur and be worsened by economic downturn and prolonged inflation especially after the pandemic ends. Additionally, the characteristic of the modern business environment, technology sophistication and new generation traits had challenged Cressey Fraud Triangle Theory on its validity and relevancy. Therefore, associating all these possible challenges into consideration, this study aims to review prior literature related to the evolution of Cressey fraud theory to propose a new insight in considering relevant motivation factors that drive fraud penetrations. From the review, the study discovered the need for a detailed evaluation and research on the essential fraud element in constructing an all-rounded fraud prevention mechanism.
Mujer en transición: La poesía de Clara Janés
Authors: Navarrete Navarrete María Teresa
Published: March 2021

Este artículo estudia la poesía de Clara Janés escrita durante los años cercanos a la Transición (1975-1978) con el propósito de examinar la evolución que se produce del sujeto mujer a lo largo de este periodo de su trayectoria. Para ello, consideraré los poemarios escritos por Janés desde 1973 hasta 1986 y organizaré mi estudio en tres niveles. En primer lugar, abordaré los presupuestos culturales que definen a la mujer escritora en los años del tardofranquismo y de la primera democracia. En segundo lugar, explicaré el impacto que la crisis creativa y personal de Janés genera en su trayectoria y en qué medida influye en esta etapa el descubrimiento de la poesía de Vladimír Holan. Y, en tercer lugar, estudiaré la cercanía que la poesía de Janés publicada en los ochenta guarda con las reivindicaciones feministas españolas de aquellos años. A través de estos tres niveles de análisis, mi objetivo final es demostrar que estas obras pertenecen a una misma fase creativa dominada por la conquista de la identidad femenina.

Artikel ini membahas tentang hakekat makna jihad dan aktualisasinya dalam kehidupan modern. Pada dasarnya jihad memiliki dua pengertian; Pertama, jihad dengan pengertian dakwah Islam melalui cara yang santun, toleran, damai dan jauh dari unsur pemaksaan dan kekerasan. Kedua, jihad dengan pengertian perang. Jihad dalam pengertian pertama harus diaplikasikan kapan saja dan dimana saja, sedangkan jihad dengan pengertian kedua hanya boleh diaplikasikan dalam kondisi yang sangat terpaksa karena adanya ancaman yang pasti dari musuh. Tujuan utama dari jihad adalah al-amr bi al-ma‟ruf wa al-nahy an al-munkar. Untuk itu, jika diletakkan dalam konteks kehidupan modern saat ini, maka jihad bisa dimaknai dalam arti yang lebih makro dan holistik, sehingga segala bentuk al-amr bi al-ma‟ruf wa al-nahy an al-munkar seperti usaha meningkatkan tingkat pendidikan ummat Islam,usaha meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup umat Islam,baik secara ekonomi, politik dan budaya. Semuanya masuk dalam kategori jihad dalam Islam, dan lebih utama dibandingkan dengan jihad fisik dengan perang, karena untuk konteks saat ini hal itulah yang dibutuhkan oleh umat Islam.

Published: March 2021

Institutions of higher learning struggle to supply enough Registered Nursing Professionals to meet demands in today’s healthcare environment. Hundreds of thousands of students are accepted into nursing programs each year, though many fall short of program completion. High attrition and low retention in registered nursing programs is a problem. The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate attrition and retention of registered nursing students over a four-year period at a Technical College in Georgia to determine factors impacting successful completion of the Associate of Science in Nursing Program (ASN). It further proposed to identify possible solutions to reduce attrition among nursing students. This study analyzed nursing student and nursing faculty perceptions on the causes of high attrition and low retention and perceived solutions to attrition rates. This study provides insight in the development of steps to decrease attrition in registered nursing programs, and other higher education programs of study.

Introduction. Percutaneous interventions used in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may be complicated by the recurrence of the ischemia clinical picture due to the late lumen loss of the stent. Factors influencing the risk of the restenosis developing may differ depending on the clinical situation and stent characteristics.

Objective. To identify risk factors for repeated revascularization in patients with ACS without ST-segment elevation after placement of everolimus-eluting stents. Materials and methods. The study included 126 patients with ACS, who received platinum-chromium containing everolimus-eluting stents. The main clinical and laboratory parameters of the patients were analyzed. After 12 months, the combined endpoint (death, myocardial infarction in the basin of the stented artery, repeated revascularization of the stented vessel) was assessed.

Results. During the followup, 18 of 126 patients (14.3 %) reached the combined endpoint. Among patients who reached the endpoint, there were more women (10 (24.4 %) and 8 (9.4 %); p=0.02). In patients who reached the endpoint, the level of highly sensitive troponin was significantly higher (0.032 (0.007; 0.32) ng/ml versus 0.005 (0.002; 0.022) ng/ml; p=0.005), there was a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (52.2±12.3 % vs 58.6±8.9 %; p=0.02) and glomerular filtration rate (68.5±15.7 ml/min vs 76.3±18.2 ml/min; p=0.04), and there was also a significantly lower level of triglycerides (1.3±0.4 mmol/L and 1.8±0.9 mmol/L, p=0.004) and VLDL (0.6±0.2 mmol/L and 0.8±0.4 mmol/L, p=0.006). According to multivariate regression analysis, the leading factors influencing the risk of repeated revascularization were diabetes mellitus (OR 4.25; 95 % CI: 1.12–16.15; p=0.03), glomerular filtration rate and triglyceride level (OR 0.25; 95 % CI: 0.07–0.93; p=0.03).

Conclusions. When using everolimus-eluting stents, diabetes mellitus, decreased glomerular filtration rate and low blood triglyceride levels are among the main factors affecting the risk of in-stent restenosis.

Introduction. Hyperviscosity syndrome plays an important role in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension and its complications associated with impaired microcirculation in target organs. Therefore, along with the use of antihypertensive drugs, it is important to pay attention to the correction of the hyperviscosity syndrome with means of hemorheological agents.

The aimis to study the effect of metoprolol and its combined use with dihydroquercetin (DHQ) on the rheological parameters of blood in rats with spontaneous arterial hypertension.

Materials and methods. The experiments were carried out on normotensive male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). SHRs of the experimental groups received metoprolol (50 mg/kg) or metoprolol and DHQ (50 mg/kg each) daily intragastrically for 6 weeks in 1 % starch mucus; SHRs of the control group and normotensive rats received 1 % starch mucus according to the same scheme. Systemic blood pressure was registered in awake animals. Blood was sampled from the catheterized right common carotid artery. Blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation and deformability were studied.

Results. Compared with the parameters in normotensive rats, SHRs showed significant increase of blood viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation, and decrease of erythrocyte deformability. The course administration of metoprolol induced to a further increase in blood viscosity at low shear rates (15–45 s–1); plasma viscosity, hematocrit and micro-rheological parameters in rats of this group did not significantly differ from those in the control. With the combined administration of metoprolol and DHQ, blood viscosity at shear rates of 300 and 450 s–1and erythrocyte aggregation were significantly lower than in the control SHRs.

Conclusions. The course administration of metoprolol increases the severity of the hyperviscosity syndrome in SHRs. The use of DHQ together with metoprolol partially eliminates adverse effects of the beta blocker on blood rheology parameters.

Authors: Tsai I-Chen , Hung Chih-Chiang Hung
Published: March 2021

Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy using a doxorubicin-based regimen has recently become a common therapeutic option for operable breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of polyethylene glycol-coated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-based chemotherapy for breast cancer in neoadjuvant settings.

Methods: A total of 227 female operable breast cancer patients who were diagnosed between January 2009 and December 2017 and completed neoadjuvant PLD-based chemotherapy were retrospectively included. The logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations between pathologic complete response (pCR) and preoperative clinicopathological characteristics. The breast cancer recurrence rate was estimated using the survival analysis.

Results: A higher pCR rate was found in the patients with clinically negative lymph nodes and HER2-enriched patients. Moreover, the patients who achieved pCR also had a better prognosis outcome. A recurrence rate of 11.5% (n=26) was observed during a median follow-up of 11.63 months, and the recurrence rate of the pCR group (2.04%; 95% CI = 0.29-13.62) was lower than the non-pCR group (14.62%; 95% CI = 10.12-20.87). Higher histological grade was also associated high pCR rate (52.0% vs 40.0%).

Conclusion: The use of PLD-containing chemotherapeutics in neoadjuvant settings might have benefits for non-metastatic operable breast cancer in Taiwanese females.

Authors: Gilev Sergey D. , Prokopiev Vladimir S.
Published: March 2021

Electrical resistance measurements of aluminum foil are conducted under shock compression using the electric contact technique. Shock wave pressure p dependences of the electrical resistance R and the resistivity r are obtained for pressure range up to 22 GPa. The found dependence R(p) is a monotonically increasing smooth function of the pressure. The dependence r(p) is more complex: with increasing pressure, the electrical resistivity first decreases and then increases.

The results of full-scale numerical experiments of a hybrid thorium-containing fuel cell facility operating in a close-to-critical state due to a controlled source of fusion neutrons are discussed in this work. The facility under study was a complex consisting of two blocks. The first block was based on the concept of a high-temperature gas-cooled thorium reactor core. The second block was an axially symmetrical extended plasma generator of additional neutrons that was placed in the near-axial zone of the facility blanket. The calculated models of the blanket and the plasma generator of D-T neutrons created within the work allowed for research of the neutronic parameters of the facility in stationary and pulse-periodic operation modes. This research will make it possible to construct a safe facility and investigate the properties of thorium fuel, which can be continuously used in the epithermal spectrum of the considered hybrid fusion-fission reactor.

The results of experimental studies on the impact of periodic flow modulation on the development of natural disturbances and artificial localized wave packets in the boundary layer of a swept wing with a leading edge swept angle of 40 degrees at a Mach number M = 2.5 are presented. The boundary layer was modulated using periodic roughness on the model surface. Artificial wave packets were generated by a pulsed glow discharge. Hot-wire anemometer measurements showed that, according to the experimental conditions, periodic modulation of the boundary layer leads to the stabilization of the development of controlled localized disturbances and to an increase in the growth of natural disturbances.

Objetivo: Apresentar o caso de uma paciente com Síndrome de Apert, sua trajetória pelo sistema de saúde, o papel da Atenção Primária à Saúde no seu resgate e acompanhamento. Detalhamentos de Caso: Criança, sexo feminino, nascida em maio de 2017, segunda gestação de um casal não-consanguíneo. Nascida de parto cesáreo; à termo; pequena para a idade gestacional e baixo peso; apresentava braquicefalia, fronte alta, face achatada, hipoplasia malar, orelhas de baixa implantação, hipertelorismo ocular, fendas palpebrais oblíquas para baixo, proptose, nariz pequeno com narinas antevertidas, palato ogival, pescoço curto, sindactilia em mãos e pés; sem outros dismorfismos aparentes. Diante das dificuldades de acesso, a família perdeu o seguimento, retomado através do cuidado ampliado proporcionado pela visita domiciliar, com contribuição da inserção dos alunos do curso de medicina na equipe de saúde. A criança foi submetida a correção cirúrgica da sindactilia das mãos em um hospital filantrópico, com ótimo resultado cirúrgico e funcional. Considerações finais: A limitação orçamentaria imposta ao Sistema Único de Saúde restringe as equipes de saúde dentro das unidades básicas, em função da alta demanda e pouco recurso humano, tornando ainda mais difícil a manutenção da coordenação e continuidade do cuidado dos portadores de doenças raras.
