The organizational culture in the aging process of educational work
Authors: Kai Flávia Obara , Lourenço Mariane Lemos , Fernandes Camilla
Published: October 2020

Population aging is one of the most significant phenomena in the 21st century and this phenomenon has important far-reaching impacts on society and organizations. Organizations and society face challenges with the increase and permanence of individuals at work and these reflexes can be perceived by the organizational culture. Organizational culture and its elements are also present in the academic environment, composed of multiple social interactions. This study aims to identify and analyze the meanings that elements of organizational culture have for higher education professors in the process of aging at public and private educational institutions. For this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with professors from a public and a private institution and the data were analyzed using the comparative case study strategy. The results show that the elements f organizational culture such as values, norms, rules, communication, rites, rituals, ceremonies and beliefs are different in public and private HEIs and the elements heroes, myths, stories, sagas and taboos demonstrate similarities in the institutions. In addition, the elements indicate particularities and the unpreparedness of the HEIs facing the phenomenon of aging in educational work.
“Shrimp” only is fish in the leaving tide: conflicts in water management in a hydrographic basin committee
Authors: Nascimento Ives Romero Tavares do , Silva Lucas Emmanuel Nascimento , Gomes Neto Manoel Bastos
Published: October 2020

The case illustrates the dilemma experienced by Marcelo, a government employee, member of the Advisory Committee of the Water Resources Management of the Rio Cariri Basin, who at some point decides to support shrimp in captivity (shrimp farming) in a weir in Ceará. But the solution that seemed ideal, generated strong environmental impacts for the communities that live below the reservoir, putting the Committee in a delicate situation. Elaborated from a real experience in one of the fourteen political and administrative regions of Ceará, the presented problem is at the middle of the management of water resources in the Brazilian hinterland, which permeates actions of coexistence with the Semi-Arid today. The case stimulates the debate on the need to consider multiple alternatives to the “water problem”, analyzing the management perspective - business and public - which should guide decisions based on the observance of complex variables that affect different social groups. The teaching notes comprise the pedagogical aspects of the case, as well as presenting the sources and methods of data collection for its elaboration and suggests questions and debates to be applied to the students.
Effects of gentaminoseleferon on blood parameters during treatment of Mycoplasma dispar respiratory infection in calves
Authors: Abed Alhussen Mohammad , Naef Hamdan , Vatnikov Yury Anatolyevich
Published: October 2020

Background and Aim: Respiratory diseases in young cattle are among the significant cattle pathologies that cause considerable economic damage globally. For the treatment of respiratory diseases, coformulated drugs that increase general nonspecific resistance, exhibit adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, and normalize metabolic processes in animals are currently being used. The aim of our study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the complex drug "gentaminoseleferon", used in the treatment of respiratory diseases in calves, especially in Mycoplasma dispar infection.

Materials and Methods: The animals were divided into three groups. Calves with the first clinical signs of respiratory pathology were randomly divided into two groups. The first experimental group (n=5) was intramuscularly injected with sulfetrisan at a dose of 5-10 mL/animal once per day for 7 days. The second experimental group (n=5) was given gentaminoseleferon at a dose of 1 mL/10 kg of body weight once per day for 7 days. The drugs were not used in the control group, the "healthy animals (n=5)". Blood samples were taken 10 days before and after treatment and compared between the experimental and healthy calves. The changes in the hematological and biochemical parameters of blood and serum were evaluated.

Results: During the recovery process of animals in the experimental groups, a normalization of the hematological and biochemical parameters of blood and serum was noted. Interestingly, in calves of the second experimental group, an increase in the total serum protein content by 2.2% (p<0.05) was recorded in comparison with the first group. The second group, furthermore, showed an increase in Vitamins A, E, and C concentrations by 13.5% (p<0.05), 11.9% (p<0.005), and 15.1% (p<0.0005), respectively, as well as in zinc and iron concentrations by 4.1% (p<0.05) and 9.3% (p<0.0001), respectively. These findings indicate a more pronounced decrease in the inflammatory process in the respiratory system and intensive restoration of metabolism, thereby establishing the high therapeutic efficacy of gentaminoseleferon.

Conclusion: Gentaminoseleferon was proven highly effective in the treatment of calves with respiratory illnesses and in restoring homeostasis in the organisms of animals after treatment, as indicated by the normalization of morphological and biochemical blood parameters with a reduction in the recovery time.

Authors: Swastika Windra , Sakti Ekky Rino Fajar , Subianto Mochamad
Published: October 2020

Low-resolution images can be reconstructed into high-resolution images using the Super-resolution Convolution Neural Network (SRCNN) algorithm. This study aims to improve the vehicle license plate number's recognition accuracy by generating a high-resolution vehicle image using the SRCNN. The recognition is carried out by two types of character recognition methods: Tesseract OCR and SPNet. The training data for SRCNN uses the DIV2K dataset consisting of 900 images, while the training data for character recognition uses the Chars74 dataset. The high-resolution images constructed using SRCNN can increase the average accuracy of vehicle license plate number recognition by 16.9 % using Tesseract and 13.8 % with SPNet.

Vatersehnsucht. Botho Strauß erzählt sich seine Herkunft
Authors: Denka Andrzej
Published: October 2020

Botho Strauß (b. 1944), German playwright, novelist and essayist, devotes his book Herkunft [Origin] (2014) to a subtle portrait of his slightly underestimated father, who died in 1971. This sample of prose is typical of Strauss as it encompasses meditative descriptions, disquisitions, aphorisms and narrative fragments. This narration contains numerous biographical details about his father, as well as his mother and the writer himself, and it tells us a lot about his youth and cultural maturation. Strauss’ hometown, Bad Ems, provides a certain topographic point of reference here. This is a highly personal and emotional text which simultaneously exhibits all esthetic properties that characterize Strauss’ style. This text is also about the way different sensory stimuli incite our memory and how difficult it is to find a literary form adequate to reconstruct memory.
Zur Darstellung der Tempora in ausgewählten Grammatiken des Deutschen
Authors: Kątny Andrzej
Published: October 2020

The meaning of past tenses is presented in various grammars in different ways. It was especially the hypothesis of the aspect-oriented meaning of Perfekt tense that has been paid attention to; its supporters claim that German Perfekt and Plusquamperfekt tenses express the meaning of completed action. The analysis of works of scholars has proved that the basic meaning of Perfekt tense is expressing the concept of anteriority. In the following part a few grammars have been presented. Their authors analysed the meaning of Perfekt tense having discussed telic and atelic verbs.
Einige Fragen der Aktionsart- und Aspektfunktion im Sprachvergleich
Authors: Kotin Michail L.
Published: October 2020

The contribution deals with selected questions of the interaction between the so called “lexical aspect” (the opposition between telicity and atelicity) and the grammatical aspect (or so called “viewpoint”- aspect, i.e. the opposition between perfectivity and imperfectivity) in the languages with and without the overtly encoded aspect. The striking point of the analysis is the “complexive” meaning of aspectual forms and constructions involving lexical atelicity by indicating durativity or iterativity, on the one hand, and grammatical perfectivity by indicating the complexive perspective of the verbal action on the other. This type of aspectuality was a special feature of verbal systems with the aorist category. My claim is, thus, that the contemporary English has a special grammatical form of the “complexive aorist”, i.e. the form of Present Perfect Progressive. The Slavic languages encode this function by using the – unmarked – imperfective forms of the verbs, whereas German uses special means of encoding the very same function on the whole-clause level, such as adverbials or definite vs. indefinite or zero article.
Zum syntaktisch-semantischen Status adverbialer Äußerungsglieder
Authors: Ogawa Akio
Published: October 2020

In this article I attempt to show that grammatical categories such as the adverbs dabei (with it/them) and doch (but, still) in German can be explained as prosodic, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic continuum based on their core meaning. Some classifications described and maintained in the traditional grammar of German, especially represented by the „valency grammar“, i.e. classifications as „sentential adverbs“ or „discourse markers“, therefore should be neutralized and newly considered. The grammatical categories in charge should be understood as crossing over the unit of sentence, and in this respect they are not „Satzglieder“ (sentence constituents), but „Äußerungsglieder“ (utterance constituents) as Darski (2010) claims. In the „adverbial“ area prosodic features and syntactic positions closely correspond to each other and on the other hand semantic contents and pragmatic effects do correspond too. The continuous scale of the elements dabei and doch can be seen as an ample example for demonstrating the „iconic“ relation between prosody/syntax and semantics/pragmatics, i.e. between forms and functions.
Ratgeberliteratur und Strategien der Normierung – am Beispiel von Wissenschaftsratgebern
Authors: Niemann Robert
Published: October 2020

This article is going to follow up the question of normativization within counsellor texts, exemplarily using science guides. A pro argumentation for this is, to not only see normativization in this correlation as a morpho-syntactically and lexical medium – as we usually would – but beyond that also include patterned text structures. These are to be interpreted as appellative (and persuasive) strategies of the authors instance which ought to establish a relationship to the readers who are supposed to be guided by this foundation.
Textanalyse oder Textinterpretation? Überlegungen aus textlinguistischer Sicht
Authors: Błachut Edyta
Published: October 2020

Dealing with texts may mean using various research methods. The present paper discusses two such methodological approaches: text analysis and text interpretation. It is concerned, initially theoretically, with the question how these approaches can be explained from the text-linguistics point of view and separated from each other. After that a short text material is used to illustrate the thesis that analyzing and interpreting texts are two different forms of dealing with texts.

Sprachliche Mittel der Aufmerksamkeitslenkung am Beispiel deutscher Horoskoptexte
Authors: Poźlewicz Agnieszka
Published: October 2020

Press horoscopes are short informative and persuasive texts addressed to a seemingly individual reader, who skims through the text in order to match the content and intention of press horoscopes to his or her own situation. The article deals with the selected linguistic means used in German press horoscopes to draw the reader’s attention to certain text elements. The analysed data consists of extracts from press horoscopes in German weekly magazines for women (Bild der Frau, Freundin). The aim of the paper is to investigate different linguistic means (e.g. syntactic, lexical and typographical ones) used to draw the reader’s attention in order to elaborate their preliminary subclassification.
Gendering the Boy Scouts: Examining Hegemonic Masculinity at a Co-Ed Backpacking Camp
Authors: Pentecost Samantha
Published: October 2020

Masculinity has been studied in various outdoor settings, including the industries of ecotourism, outdoor education, and forestry. However, few studies have examined how physical space contributes to the construction of hegemonic masculinity in organizations associated with nature and the outdoors. This study relies on nine in-depth interviews conducted with outdoor educators and sixteen hours of ethnographic research completed at Mountain View Scout Camp, a backpacking program for youth operated by the Boy Scouts of America. Findings indicate that Mountain View is gendered both through its organizational aesthetics, which valorize a hegemonically masculine ideal, and via sta members’ conception of nature as feminine and forestry work and tools as masculine. Results also suggest that men employed at Mountain View will occasionally embody a hybrid masculine gender performance by utilizing non-hegemonic traits of masculinity such as pro-feminist ideas. However, these episodic masculine performances also serve to subtly reproduce gender inequalities by accepting only a speci c type of woman and rewarding men for super cial allyship.
Stories of Transnationalism: nǐ kàn wǒ, wǒ kàn nǐ (你看我, 我看你)
Authors: Seow Yuxian
Published: October 2020

Transnationalism has been explored in scholarship within the scope of migration and globalisation. Often, related literature and theories conceptualise and deconstruct transnationalism within the framework of methodological nationalism. However, new scholarship suggests that the outdatedness of this framework results in its failure to adapt to, capture, and better understand the complexity and intersectionality of transnationalism in the contemporary context. Drawing on an autoethnographic account of my transnational relationship with my grandmother, this paper delves into the individual everyday perspective of transnationalism and the impacts it has had on facilitating the emergence of transmigrant identities, creating a sense of belonging, and transforming care networks that span the globe. It is a collection of short stories that o ers a level of insight, meaning, understanding, being there, and co-presence (Baldassar, Nedelcu, Merla, and Wilding 2016) that exempli es the contemporary transnational relationship and the ways in which it has been shaped by the digital space, rapid globalisation, and narratives of migration. By researching transnationalism from a qualitative and ethnographic methodology, this paper explores the embeddedness of a “here and there” dynamic (Duong 2015, 233) that has come to re ect a profoundly felt sense of interconnectivity between loved ones. Finally, this study prompts existing researchers and scholarship to critically engage with and adapt their ways of researching transnationalism in the global context.

Sermons That Have Changed My Life: A Qualitative Study of the Factors in Sermons that Elicit Change
Authors: Stoorvogel Henk , Van Vuuren Mark , De Jong Menno
Published: October 2020

Can people be changed by sermons? This study focuses on the impact sermons can have on people’s lives, and the factors involved. A qualitative study was conducted among a group of sermon listeners. The results show that all the respondents experienced a change in their lives through sermons. Moreover, the respondents show remarkable unity in their views about which factors in the sermons caused them to change. The results illustrate that the connection between the message of the sermon and the actual question, the listener’s challenge or field of interest, and the preacher’s ability to communicate in a surprising and novel way are key factors in a sermon to elicit change.

I Wish We Could Fast Forward It: Negotiating the Practice of Preaching
Authors: Sæbø Rystad Linn
Published: October 2020

Though recent decades in empirical homiletics have significantly contributed to the understanding of what happens in preaching from the listener’s point of view, empirical homiletics needs to do another turn and ask: What do listeners do with preaching? This article introduces children into empirical homiletics as a new group of listeners, and by a thick description of preaching as a practice. Children seldom become full participants in the practice of preaching, mainly because they do not understand what preaching is, they struggle to follow the rules, and they have different ends for the practice than the preachers. One implication for homiletics is that if preaching is considered a practice, it can also be taught. This might help children more easily become participants in the practice of preaching.

SUCESSO EXPORTADOR: INFLUÊNCIA DA ORIENTAÇÃO ESTRATÉGICA, ATITUDE E CAPACIDADE GERENCIAL
Authors: CABRAL JOSÉ EDNILSON DE OLIVEIRA , SILVA JÚNIOR LUIZ ALBERTO DA
Published: October 2020

RESUMO O aumento do nível de exportações, com reflexos positivos na balança comercial, é um dos elementos mais importantes para o crescimento sustentável de um país, significando, entre outras coisas, a redução de sua dependência financeira externa. Portanto, um fato que requer reflexão e análise é a alta taxa de empresas brasileiras que iniciam a atividade de exportação, mas não dão continuidade a ela. Nesse sentido, este estudo analisou a influência das dimensões relativas ao marketing estratégico, às atitudes e às percepções gerenciais sobre o sucesso exportador (continuidade) de empresas de pequeno e médio porte do Estado do Ceará. Com base no modelo conceitual formulado a partir da revisão das teorias e estudos empíricos sobre internacionalização de empresas e desempenho exportador, foi realizada, em 2003, uma pesquisa de campo envolvendo 35 empresas de pequeno e médio portes no Ceará, utilizando questionário estruturado. O método de análise discriminante foi a técnica utilizada para identificar as diferenças estatísticas relevantes. Os resultados da pesquisa levaram à aceitação estatística das hipóteses formuladas de que os construtos orientação proativa, planejamento para exportação, atitude exportadora e capacidade gerencial incluem-se entre os fatores explicativos de sucesso, em termos de atividade exportadora continuada, das empresas pesquisadas.

A amostra utilizada é composta de 78 empresas localizadas no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul nos setores de alimentos, eletroeletrônicos, equipamentos de transportes e metal-mecânica. Os resultados sugerem correlações positivas entre conhecimento organizacional, fontes de informação, interfuncionalidade e dinamismo ambiental.
CUSTOS E BENEFICIOS PARA O CONSUMIDOR NA AÇÃO DA RECICLAGEM
Authors: CASTANHO SIMONE CONCEIÇÃO RAMOS , SPERS EDUARDO EUGÊNIO , FARAH OSVALDO ELIAS
Published: October 2020

RESUMO A industrialização e a mídia induziram um comportamento mais consumista das pessoas, em que produtos são utilizados e descartados com maior freqüência e sem muito critério, o que resulta num maior volume de resíduos depositados no meio ambiente. O consumidor pode interferir nesse processo escolhendo produtos e serviços que prejudiquem menos o meio ambiente, ou que possam ser reaproveitados de modo a contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de sua comunidade e do planeta. Esse não-comprometimento com as conseqüências, aliado ao poder de modificar esse cenário pelo processo de reciclagem, por exemplo, tornam os consumidores importantes. Embora exista uma busca pelos benefícios da reciclagem, o custo dessa atividade pode ainda ser considerado alto por um segmento de consumidores. Este trabalho verifica a propensão do consumidor em reciclar com base no conceito de valor ou relação custo-benefício. Foram entrevistados consumidores de um município do interior do Estado de São Paulo em duas etapas. Na primeira, utilizou-se uma pesquisa em profundidade para levantar as variáveis percebidas como de custo-benefício na ação de reciclar. Na segunda etapa foi realizada uma pesquisa com 124 consumidores. Em relação aos benefícios, os resultados demonstram que existe uma preocupação com a questão ambiental no sentido mais amplo. Em relação aos custos, observa-se uma predisposição no processo final da reciclagem, mas não existe uma preocupação no momento de aquisição do produto. Sugestões em relação a decisões estratégias privadas e políticas públicas de comunicação e educação voltadas ao consumidor foram descritas no sentido de aumentar o seu consumo consciente.

Published: October 2020

Resumo: Investiga-se o ensino da Saúde Coletiva na graduação em Medicina, por meio de um estudo de caso do projeto pedagógico do Departamento de Medicina Social e Preventiva da PUC-Campinas. Analisa-se a disciplina Programa Integrado em Saúde Coletiva, a qual é ministrada ao quinto ano em serviços básicos da rede municipal. Para avaliar o cumprimento de objetivos e possíveis mudanças de atitudes, realizou-se uma análise qualitativa dos depoimentos de alunos que haviam cursado a disciplina no ano anterior à pesquisa. Observou-se que, a cada turma, o estágio adquire características próprias, tendo, em geral, superado as expectativas, possibilitando o reconhecimento do papel do atendimento primário na ordenação de um sistema de saúde resolutivo e de qualidade. Os conteúdos relativos às relações com os pacientes, à integralidade, à interdisciplinaridade e ao contato com a realidade social Foram considerados proveitosos por se tratar de conhecimentos “novos” e por permitirem mudanças de atitude. Entre as conclusões, registra-se a importância da inserção da escola médica junto aos serviços da rede e a necessidade da integração vertical e horizontal do curso para a superação da dicotomia teórico-prática.
A Tutorial for Modeling Real Options Lattices from Project Cash Flows
Authors: Marques Naielly Lopes , Bastian-Pinto Carlos de Lamare , Brandão Luiz Eduardo Teixeira
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Context: several methods for evaluating real options have been extensively studied and published. But recombining binomial trees, known as lattices, are perhaps one of the most practical and intuitive approaches to model uncertainty and price project managerial flexibilities for real options applications. Although the Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979) lattice model is simple to implement for financial options, modeling real options lattices requires a different approach such as the one proposed by Copeland and Antikarov (2001), which considers project cash flows as dividends in the lattice model. Objective: in this tutorial, we propose a code in an open-source software with intuitive guidelines to help researchers and practitioners model real options lattices from project cash flows. Method: our code considers the correct project’s volatility estimation, dividend yield modeling, and lattice building. Results: the results show how real options can affect the value of projects. Conclusions: as a contribution, this tutorial provides a simple mechanism for analyzing investment opportunities in projects that have uncertainty and flexibility.
COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING INDICATORS FOR CHILDREN AGED 6 TO 23 MONTHS ACCORDING TO BREASTFEEDING STATUS
Authors: Leonez Daniella Garcia Vidal Rodrigues , Melhem Angélica Rocha de Freitas , Vieira Daniele Gonçalves , Mello Débora Falleiros de , Saldan Paula Chuproski
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify if there are differences among the complementary feeding indicators of children aged 6-23 months according to the breastfeeding status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 1,355 children aged 6-23 months in 2012 to evaluate five indicators proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and modified in accordance with Brazilian’s recommendations “Ten steps to a healthy feeding: a feeding guide for children under two years old”. The indicators used were: I. Introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods; II. Minimum dietary diversity; III. Minimum meal frequency; IV. Minimum acceptable diet, and V. Consumption of iron-rich foods. To verify differences between the complementary feeding indicators according to breastfeeding status, the F-statistic was used, with p≤0.05 meaning significant. Results: Indicators I, II, and V were similar among breastfed and non-breastfed children; however, indicators III and IV presented a higher proportion of adequacy for non-breastfed children, with 94.9% (CI95% 93.2-96.2) versus 40.3% (CI95% 33.2-47.9) for indicator III, and 57.3% (CI95% 53.2-61.2) versus 23.1% (CI95% 17.4-30.1) for indicator IV. Conclusions: Non-breastfed children have better complementary feeding status, but the indicator III takes into account non-breast milk as a meal for non-breastfed children, which increased the number of dairy meals and influenced indicator IV (calculated from indicators II and III).
The fall cone test in unsaturated soil and tailings pastes

The fall cone test (FCT) is usually performed in saturated paste-like geomaterials to determine their undrained shear strength or liquid limit. Here the test is used to determine strength when a geomaterial is unsaturated and paste-like in its consistency. A mechanics-based interpretation is used, where the pore air pressure, pore water pressure and suction which prevail around the cone tip post-test are incorporated in strength and bearing capacity equations. The pore air and water pressures combine to form an apparent cohesion that dominates cone penetration resistance and can be determined from a FCT result. When the volumetric air content (va/v) is less than 0·15, samples become unvented and effectively sealed, and the FCT induces volumetric compression in the sample. This causes the apparent cohesion post-test to be smaller than the initial value. The ratio between the two is proportional to va/v for three tailings in a unique way. The initial apparent cohesion ranged from 0·6 kPa to 28 kPa. The post-test value was smaller by an amount depending on va/v. When va/v > 0·15, the pore air becomes connected to the atmosphere and very different pressure changes and volume changes occur around a penetrating cone, for which an alternative interpretation method is needed.
Enlightenment and reform of The National Education Commission, its pioneering system of centralized management, the school program and physical education: myths and reality
Authors: Urniaż Jerzy
Published: October 2020

In this article, the author discusses the reasons for creating the National Education Commission, its links with the Enlightenment, the school program, PE and, above all, the centralized system of management and financing of the reform. In the first place, reference was made to the characteristic trends of the Enlightenment, the way the Republic of Poland functioned until the partitions, and in the second part to KEN reform. The reform was not the effect of the long-term state education policy. It was created thanks to the coincidence of the unexpected liquidation of the Jesuit Order in Europe. The financial security of the reform was money gained from the sale of wealth of the Order, used thanks to the pioneering system in Europe of centralized management and financing of the reform. As it turned out, this system – in the absence of control – made it possible to squander and even misappropriate a large part of the funds. The effect of this was the collapse of many schools and a small number of secular teachers (eg. PE was often conducted by older students). In the KEN reform, it is difficult to find the characteristic features of the Enlightenment, because of world-view and mental-cultural issues. Moreover, the reform did not have long term prospects on the one hand due to the limited size of post-Jesussian wealth, on the other – due to the lack of alternative finacial security – regularly incoming taxes to the state, which was not the case in the Commonwealth of Poland.
Unrealised Elements of Central Institute of Physical Education. A Contribution to the History of Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw on 90th Anniversary
Authors: Potrzuski Kamil
Published: October 2020

Central Institute of Physical Education, designed by Edgar Norwerth, was completed in 1929. From the very beginning, it become one of the most recognizable investments of the interwar Warsaw. Its history is relatively well – known. However, researchers paid less attention to the unrealised elements of the project. The aim of this article is to reconstruct unaccomplished and therefore almost completely forgotten facilities – central stadium, rowing course, outdoor swimming pool, fountain, coloured elevations, according to the interwar documents and press. The reconstruction would be followed in compare to other representational sporting investments of interwar Warsaw – the Polish Army stadium and the Służewiec horse-racing track.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. Stool assays used to diagnose Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) do not differentiate acute CDI from asymptomatic carriers, which contributes to a falsely elevated rate of healthcare-facility onset (HO) CDI when CD stool assays are inappropriately ordered. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of HO-CDI before and after implementing a mandatory clinical pathway prior to ordering stool tests when suspecting CDI.

Methods. A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted that spanned 12 months. All patients who developed diarrhea 48 hours after being admitted and whose primary physician requested a CD stool assay were included in the study. The intervention consisted of a mandatory sequence of questions that allowed providers to order a CD stool assay only if clinically indicated.

Results. Differences in HO-CDI rates pre- and post-intervention were analyzed. The HO-CDI rate during the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods were 24.1 and 0.0, respectively (p = 0.023).Conclusion. A marked reduction of the rate of HO-CDI occurred after implementing a mandatory clinical pathway. Setting up a mandatory pre-testing questionnaire could decrease the misclassification of asymptomatic carriers as HO-CDI and the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics in situations where it is not indicated.

El presente estudio analiza la influencia del aprendizaje de ajedrez sobre las habilidades en razonamiento matemático, atención y concentración en niños en edad escolar de la Amazonia peruana. Se seleccionaron estudiantes de primer grado de secundaria de dos instituciones educativas de la ciudad de Puerto Maldonado, pública y privada. El diseño del estudio fue cuasiexperimental, con evaluaciones pretest-postest y un grupo control. Cada grupo tenía entre 18 a 30 estudiantes y al grupo experimental se le brindó clases de ajedrez dos veces por semana durante tres meses. Para analizar el efecto de la intervención se utilizó un Modelo Linear Generalizado. En las dos habilidades evaluadas los resultados del postest del grupo experimental fueron superiores al grupo control. Se encontró un efecto significativo de la aplicación del ajedrez deportivo en el desarrollo de habilidades en razonamiento matemático y atención y concentración (P<0.001). En la institución pública el efecto del programa en razonamiento lógico matemático fue superior en los varones que en las mujeres (P<0.05). Nuestros resultados aportan información relevante para que las instituciones educativas puedan desarrollar estrategias para promover el ajedrez como una herramienta y estrategia pedagógica. Se concluye que la implementación de un programa ajedrez influye en el desarrollo de habilidades intelectuales en escolares de la amazonia peruana.

Los efectos del cambio climático están generando inestabilidad en la agricultura. En este sentido el propósito de este artículo de revisión bibliográfica es dar a conocer los efectos que está causando el cambio climático en fincas cafetaleras de pequeños agricultores de Perú, así como las alternativas de solución. Se concluye que el cambio climático está afectando negativamente a los cultivos de café, a través de la introducción de enfermedades tales como la roya en el año 2013 y 2014 disminuyo la producción de café en 109.500 toneladas (t), el afecto incidió a la variedad de café typica. En consecuencia, las familias han tenido que adaptarse a convivir con la roya, con una tendencia de implementar nuevas parcelas de café, sembradas por encima de los (1500 nsnm). Así mismo el precio del café es inestable, para el año 2013-2014 se mantuvo S/ 6.33 a S/ 4.89 por kg. Frente a las dificultades que hubo, el estado peruano ha incentivado a la siembra de café (catimor) desde el 2014 hasta el año 2018, se incrementó en 79.755 hectáreas de cultivo.
ALGORITHM FOR THE CONJUGATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL IN THE PLAN OF UNIFORM AND RADIAL FLOWS
Authors: Kokhanenko Victor
Published: October 2020

The algorithm of the theoretical method proposed by the authors using the speed hodograph plane and simple waves for solving the problem of coupling a two-dimensional flow in terms of flow is considered. This technique allows you to determine the boundaries of the free flow of a turbulent flow and its parameters in the flow area. it is revealed that using both planes physical OXYZ and hodograph G (,) it is possible to solve the problem uniquely analytically. All verification calculations were performed in the MathCad package. The calculation results showed a satisfactory convergence of model and experimental parameters in the free flow model, which does not exceed 10 % by error before the flow expansion within  = 7;  = B/b.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma that originates from the dermis or subcutaneous tissue in the skin. While its prognosis is generally favorable, disease recurrence is relatively frequent. Because morbidity after repeated surgery may be significant, an optimized prediction of recurrence-free survival (RFS) has the potential to improve current management strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the Ki-67 proliferation index with respect to RFS in patients with DFSP. We retrospectively analyzed data from 45 patients with DFSP. We calculated the Ki-67 proliferation index as the percentage of immunostained nuclei among the total number of tumor cell nuclei regardless of the intensity of immunostaining. We constructed univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models to identify predictors of RFS. Among the 45 patients included in the study, 8 developed local recurrences and 2 had lung metastases (median follow-up: 95.0 months; range: 5.2−412.4 months). The RFS rates at 60, 120, and 240 months of follow-up were 83.8%, 76.2%, and 65.3%, respectively. The median Ki-67 proliferation index was 14%. Notably, we identified the Ki-67 proliferation index as the only independent predictor for RFS in multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio = 1.106, 95% confidence interval = 1.019−1.200, p = 0.016). In summary, our results highlight the potential usefulness of the Ki-67 proliferation index for facilitating the identification of patients with DFSP at higher risk of developing disease recurrences.
