This study explored medical students’ major research topics and research methods by analyzing 184 academic articles pertaining to the characteristics of medical students from 2007 to 2017. Results showed many papers dealing with medical students emotional and cognitive aspects, student counseling, clinical practice education, and curriculum management. According to the medical education accreditation board, research trends were found mostly in the student and curriculum areas of learner characteristics, medical humanities, student counseling, clinical practice education, and curriculum management. Common research topics have been steadily increasing since the introduction of the evaluation accreditation standard in 2012. Medical students predominantly used quantitative research methods for the studies. In the future, it is necessary to ensure that research topics such as CQI, digital- and performance-based clinical practice, and convergent curriculum within the Fourth Industrial Revolution are being studied. In addition, it is crucial to investigate learners’ unique, dynamic, and qualitative characteristics through qualitative and mixed methods.
Integrated Management Plan for Graduate Medical Education and Accreditation Bodies in Korea
Authors: Lim Ki-Young
Published: March 2023

Graduate medical education is the most important phase among the three stages of medical education. It links basic medical education and continuing professional development. It is also a critical period in acquiring meaningful knowledge, skills and professionalism. The residents should be able to develop the core common competencies on top of their specialozeds field‘s expertise, in order to function as independent and qualified physicians. Despite the obvious importance of graduate medical education, the system in Korea has been designed and executed to meet the needs of the hospitals in the perspective of manpower management, rather than to educate and empower the residents. As a result, graduate medical education in Korea lacks clear educational objectives and systemic, resident-centered curriculums. Yet, we have no accreditation body to evaluate graduate medical education programs. In order to normalize graduate medical education, an integrated and unified institution that manages the whole process of the graduate medical education is desperately needed. Special attention should be given to the role of medical schools in educating the core common competencies. The Korean Association of Medical Colleges, the Korean Institute for Medical Education and Evaluation, and the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences should cooperate intimately to establish a new organization for the systemic management and development of graduate medical education.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of academic resilience and interpersonal competence on the happiness of nursing students. A descriptive design was used to study 158 nursing students in nursing school through convenience sampling. IBM SPSS ver. 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to analyze data for descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc test, Pearson’s correlations, and multiple regressions. The results showed that the level of nursing students happiness was lower than that of college students in other majors, but academic resilience and interpersonal competence among nursing students were relatively high. Nursing students’ happiness was positively correlated with academic resilience and interpersonal competence. The factors affecting happiness were academic resilience (β=0.459, p
The Concept of Academic Medicine and Its Potential Establishment in Korea
Authors: Han Hee Chul
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to introduce the concept of academic medicine to the medical societies of Korea and to identify any potential obstacles in the establishment of academic medicine in Korea. The core concepts of academic medicine include medical education, research, and patient care. Academic medicine can be practiced in the unique area of healthcare involving medical schools and teaching hospitals by faculty physicians in the academic medicine field. Through academic medicine, the next generation of healthcare professionals is trained, new discoveries can be made, and patients can find new hope for a cure. The flourishing of academic medicine has resulted in substantial advancements in medicine over the past few centuries, but at the turn of the 21st century, there was concern that academic medicine was on the decline. To address this concern, the International Campaign to Revitalize Academic Medicine was established and announced five scenarios to 2025 to debate the future of academic medicine. Although the system resembles that of Western medical societies, Korean medical societies were not familiar with academic medicine, and poor conditions caused by the distorted healthcare system in Korea have actually interfered with the nurturing of academic medicine. One of the main problems may include less interest in medical education and research relative to clinical practice by medical societies and the government. Collaborative efforts from both medical societies and the government are needed to establish academic medicine successfully in Korea for a better future.

Authors: Han Eui-Ryoung , Kim Sun , Chung Eun-Kyung
Published: March 2023

When standardized patients (SPs) are used for educational purposes, the authenticity of role play and the quality of feedback are essential requirements of SPs. This study was conducted to investigate medical students’ assessment of SPs and to identify the components of SPs’ performance that were most strongly correlated with patient–physician interaction score. One hundred and forty-two fourth-year medical students were asked to complete the Maastricht Assessment of Simulated Patients (MaSP) at the end of a clinical performance examination. SPs evaluated the patient–physician interactions using a 4-point Likert scale (1=poor to 4=excellent). Medical students’ assessment of SPs using the MaSP was positively correlated with patient–physician interactions (r=0.325, p
Protocol for Papillomavirus DNA extraction from cervical brushes using the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit v1
Authors: Hackradt Rêgo Geórgia
Published: March 2023

DNA analysis for early diagnosis of cervical cancer is a promising alternative for greater treatment efficiency. Biological samples obtained from the endocervix are commonly used for diagnosis, even though such samples are still little explored in the molecular context. This work aims to describe a modified protocol for extracting HPV DNA from infected endocervical cells after collection with endocervical brushes. The Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega, CAT.# A1125) was used to extract DNA from endocervical samples and the extraction protocol was adapted from the manufacturer's instructions. Forty-one samples were collected from women with a mean age of 35 ± 7.8 years. It was observed that samples containing higher blood content resulted in inhibiting the amplification signal, however, all samples had enough material for DNA extraction, despite the blood contamination. The quality of the extraction was confirmed in 100% of the samples with the amplification of the actin gene, indicating that enough DNA was extracted. Considering the absorbance ratio of 260/280, the average purification of the samples was reasonably good. The protocol was able to extract and detect HPV DNA with the potential to be used in the detection of high-risk HPV from cervical brushes with a high cost-effectiveness ratio.

Refugee Women’s Volunteering as Resistance Practices to Micro‐Aggressions and Social Exclusion in the UK
Authors: Low Carolynn , Shah Bindi V.
Published: March 2023

In an increasingly hostile environment for refugees in the UK and the “everyday bordering” that creates exclusionary effects for refugees and migrants, this article examines how refugee women of diverse backgrounds enact resistance practices through volunteering to challenge everyday microaggressions and social exclusion. We draw on in‐depth qualitative research with members of a support group for refugee women established by a local charity in England. We find that the support group not only allows the refugee women to foster a strong sense of solidarity in the face of everyday microaggressions; it also facilitates the women’s volunteering activities in the local community. Applying the concept of “differentiated embedding,” we argue that such activities enable these women to build wider social connections and skills for future employment and, crucially, develop emotional and linguistic resources to critique dominant exclusionary discourses and policies towards refugees through the idea of “contribution” and “giving back.” In so doing, we contribute to renewed interest in the concept of integration to highlight the agency of refugee women in creating differentiated embedding in a hostile environment.

The article deals with the key problems of protection of intellectual property and the results of intellectual activity in the context of the rapid development of digital technologies. The key factor influencing the development of intellectual property rights in modern conditions is the transparency of relations in the digital environment, the absence of actual borders within the global digital space, the mixing of various branches of knowledge, science and technology.

The author believes that rethinking the role of robots in public life poses the task of a humane approach to the legal regulation of the use of AI. Objectively, there is a need to resolve the issue of introducing responsibility for the action of AI, its legal justification and consolidation. The author also believes that the legal personality of AI will be built by analogy with the legal personality of legal entities, currently it is sufficient to amend the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. This, at the current stage of the application of artificial intelligence, will allow us to determine the basic principles and legal regulation of this sphere.
Assessing Information Search by Task Outcome
Authors: Vakkari Pertti
Published: March 2023

People do not search information as such but seek to get a job done or to manage a situation by the help of search results. Therefore, the ultimate goal of information search is to advance task performance. It should be evaluated accordingly, i.e. by its contribution to task outcome. This implies an extended notion of search process, which also covers the use of information in search results for task outcome. For measuring the effect of search to task outcome we propose both indirect and direct indicators which measure search success.

Published: March 2023

Background: Bronchiolitis is the commonest lower respiratory tract infection in children < 2 years of age and is responsible for the majority of their pediatrician visits and hospital admission during the winter season. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological data, seasonal trends, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of children admitted with bronchiolitis in pediatric hospital GMC Srinagar.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study in children less than 2 years of age admitted in department of pediatrics in GMC Srinagar. Data were collected through review of the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis on discharge and analyzed through SPSS 20.
Results: A total of 228 infants were enrolled in the study. The majority were males (60.08%). The median age on admission was 5.5 months, exclusive breastfeeding was the mode of feeding in majority and 8.77% were ex-preterm. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was identified in majority (103) and admission peak was from October to March. Most of the patients presented on day 3 of the illness. Most patients 45.17% were having feeding difficulties and chest auscultation was normal in about 22% of the children. Oxygen supplementation was administered to 85.52% of the children. The 32 children (14.03%) required admission to PICU. Mechanical ventilation was required in 6 children (18.75%). No death occurred in infants while in the hospital.
Conclusions: RSV has been found to be the main responsible virus. Management of bronchiolitis is usually symptomatic as recommended by most of the guidelines.

Authors: Zined Rubi , Sharma Rimple , Das Smita , Sharma Rajni
Published: March 2023

Background: Physical activity is one of the important factors affecting glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). During COVID-19 pandemic the government imposed restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID and physical activity of children was curtailed. We assessed the physical activity during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions (from September 2020 to September 2021) and its association with their glycemic control.
Methods: 48 children with T1DM receiving treatment in paediatric endocrinology outpatient department (OPD), AIIMS, New Delhi were enrolled. Socio-clinical data were collected using pre-validated and tested self-structured tool, physical activity was assessed using global physical activity questionnaire and glycemic control was assessed by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) and compared to baseline level before the onset of pandemic.
Results: Among 48 children (11.2±3.7 years, 25 M: 23 F), 79.2% fulfilled the 60 minutes’ requirement of physical activity/day. Moderate negative correlation was found in recommended physical activity duration and HbA1c during COVID-19 pandemic. However, there was a significant increase in the HbA1C level from 7.6±1.5 to 8.5±1.8 during COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions: There was a moderate negative correlation between duration of physical activity and HbA1c of children. In spite of restrictions imposed by the government, children who were physically active were able to maintain good glycemic control. Although there was significant increase in the mean HbA1c of children during COVID-19 pandemic but the percentage of hyperglycemic events was significantly lower among the children who had walked/rode bicycle for going from one place to another and who had more rooms to play at home had good glycemic control.

A randomized controlled trial to compare the success rates and efficacy of high flow nasal cannulae versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure in post extubation period in neonates
Authors: Awanti Srinivas C. , Pol Ramesh R. , Katti Arun B.
Published: March 2023

Background: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is the mainstay for non-invasive respiratory support for all respiratory distress neonates. Recent advances in Heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) usage with enhanced humidity, and improved comfort factors have led to its widespread use, at times replacing nCPAP in many neonatal settings. The present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of HHHFNC compared with nCPAP for non-invasive respiratory support in post-extubation period.
Methods: A hospital based randomized controlled trial was conducted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of S. Nijalingappa Medical College and HSK Hospital, Bagalkot from January 2019 to June 2020. 140 post-extubated neonates were enrolled for the study after obtaining informed consent from parents, and those who were directly extubated to no support and with major congenital anomalies were excluded from the study. Randomization was done by computer generated random number allocation method.
Results: Of the140 babies, 60% were males and 40% were females. Out of 84 male neonates, 47 (67.1%) were on nCPAP and 37 (32.9%) on HHHFNC and out of 56 female neonates 23 (32.9%) were on nCPAP and 33 (47.1%) on HFNC. In this study, 4 babies on nCPAP required re-intubation within 72 hours. 5 babies on HHHFNC, 3 babies required re-intubation within 72 hours and 2 babies within 5 days. The incidence of nasal trauma, hospital stay and duration of NIV support were less in HHHFNC group as compared to nCPAP group.
Conclusions: HHHFNC therapy is as effective as nCPAP therapy for the facilitation of extubation in neonates.

Authors: A. Pragalatha Kumar , Sajjanar Sujata
Published: March 2023

Background: Acute bronchiolitis is the most common respiratory tract infection in young children. Despite the high prevalence, no consensus exists on management. Hence the present study was conducted to find out the efficacy of high flow oxygen therapy (HFNC) versus low flow oxygen therapy in the management of acute moderate bronchiolitis.
Methods: Prospective randomized controlled study of 100 children aged between 2 months to 24 months with signs and symptoms of acute moderate bronchiolitis were admitted to Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health, Bangalore from January 2018 to June 2019 formed the study group, they were randomised into 2 groups, group A received high flow oxygen therapy and group B received low flow oxygen therapy.
Results: Out of 100 children enrolled in the study, 50 children (group A) received high flow oxygen therapy and 50 children (group B) received low flow oxygen therapy. At 24 hours the mean severity score for group A was 0.46±077 and group B was 1.86±0.86 (p<0.001). Maximum improvement in O2 saturation was observed in group A compared to group B. The duration of hospital stay was shorter (2-3 days) in group A with a mean of 2.20 days and was longer (4-5 days) in group B with a mean value of 3.84 days which was statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Children with acute bronchiolitis treated with heated humidified high flow oxygen (HFNC) had early improvement in the clinical severity score, reduced duration of oxygen requirement and decrease in the length of hospital stay. Hence heated humidified high flow oxygen (HFNC) is an effective and safe modality of treatment for children with acute moderate bronchiolitis compared to low flow oxygen therapy (p<0.0001).

Ignorance: the root of misfortune. Early childhood dental trauma to upper central incisor- consequences and its management-a case report
Authors: Singhal Pragya , Mital Prachi , Raisingani Deepak , Prasad Ashwini B.
Published: March 2023

The successful treatment of early childhood dental trauma is influenced by the child’s age, the child’s cooperation, and the time-lapse between the trauma and seeking dental care. Delayed emergency care raises the risk of complications, making vital tooth survival and/or a favourable prognosis less predictable. As a result, prompt treatment and follow-up are critical to reducing the risk of both short and long-term negative outcomes. This case report describes an early childhood trauma to the upper central incisor which was left untreated. It subsequently developed discoloration, pulpal necrosis, thin dentinal walls, and a wide-open apex. An absorbable collagen barrier was placed against which MTA was condensed and filled up to the cementoenamel junction. A subsequent assessment revealed clinical and radiographic success.

Published: March 2023

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 or PIMS-TS (pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection) has been presenting itself in children in connection to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Along with a brief review of global data on MIS-C, we present two case reports of critically ill pediatric patients (aged 16 and 14 years), presenting with features of MIS-C from May 2020 to March 2021, to a tertiary-care hospital in Telangana, India. The patients with MIS-C were healthy prior to testing positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Clinical presentations were similar, with fever, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal complaints, or maculopapular rash. The diagnostic parameters revealed elevated levels of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, and NtProBNP. Other infectious aetiologies were ruled out. Both patients required ionotropic support, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and were also given empiric antibiotics. Both were hemodynamically stable upon discharge. As knowledge of the various COVID-19 manifestations in children increases, reporting is essential to better-educating healthcare professionals in clarifying and streamlining the variety of symptoms connected to MIS-C and assessing the associated risk factors that predispose the pediatric population to develop severe disease.

Gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth, a common trait of gingival disease, is characterized by an increase in the size of gingiva. Irritation fibroma is an exophytic soft tissue mass in the oral mucosa. Indeed, it is not a real neoplasm, but a focal hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue induced by local trauma or chronic irritation. Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity, majority are found on the marginal gingiva with only 15% of the tumours on the alveolar part. It predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, male to female ratio is 1:99, and size of lesion varies in diameter from few millimetres to several centimetres. This article presents a case of pyogenic granuloma in an 6year old boy who presented with a gingival overgrowth in his mandibular left buccal surface region i.r.t 31 including marginal and attached gingiva. He had discomfort during mastication, interferes with occlusion there was episode of bleeding during brushing. The lesion was excised and histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis. Case was followed up for six months and no recurrence of the lesion. Etiological factors, clinical features, differential diagnosis and different treatment options are discussed based on the review of current literature available.

Published: March 2023

The permanent replacement of missing teeth in the maxillary posterior tooth region becomes a tedious task when it is confounded with bone atrophies. To overcome this problem and achieve successful rehabilitation, maxillary sinus membrane elevation procedures have been advocated as the most reliable means. The lateral window technique and the crestal approach are two of the most common approaches. These technologically developed procedures have reported high success rates in cases of deficient residual bone. Over time, there have been many advancements in these techniques that led to the development of user-friendly kits like the Lateral approach Sinus (LAS) kit and the Crestal approach Sinus (CAS) kit. In this case series, we have reported two cases, treated with either of these approaches and have compared the same. We aim at highlighting their ease of application in the clinical field and the promising results obtained with their use. Our clinical experience disclosed that maxillary sinus membrane advancement using both the kits have proven to be a reliable technique for implant placement in sites where insufficient bone is available.

Authors: Lookzadeh Mohamad Hosein , Alipour Mohammad Reza , Vakili Zarch Abbas , Ekraminasab Sedigheh
Published: March 2023

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is known to be the most common cardiac disorder in fetuses of diabetic mothers, especially when diabetes is not controlled in pregnancy. This study aimed as to estimate the prevalence of HCM in neonates born to diabetic mothers and to evaluate therapeutic interventions with follow-up after six months. We also focused on the possible association of neonatal HCM with the maternal type of diabetes.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2016, and September 2017, in the Cardiac Clinic of Yazd, a city in the center of Iran. The subjects were 150 neonates of mothers with diabetes. We determined HCM through fetal echocardiography before treatment and assessed the maternal and fetal factors. Finally, after a 6-month follow-up period, the data were analyzed statistically.
Results: According to the results, the prevalence of HCM in neonates of diabetic mothers was 14% (P < 0.0001). The results showed that there is a relationship between maternal uncontrolled diabetes and the incidence of HCM in the infant (P < 0.0001), but there is no relationship between the type of diabetes and the incidence of HCM. Our results also showed that propranolol was effective in improving HCM, and spontaneous recovery of HCM was low in infants.
Conclusion: We concluded that controlling maternal diabetes has the greatest effect on the prevention of HCM in neonates. Also, neonates of diabetic mothers need more heart tests and follow-ups. Therefore, more studies on the effects of maternal diabetes-induced HCM in neonates are needed.

Published: March 2023

Resumo:

O artigo analisa a emergência de uma nova retórica do grande capital, na publicidade brasileira contemporânea, a partir das relações entre três níveis: o do contexto político e econômico, o do campo publicitário e o dos anúncios. Estas relações permitem explicar as transformações dos valores fundamentais que informam o discurso publicitário, entendido como a retórica do capital, a quem cabe construir a boa vontade da “opinião pública” e converter parte desta em consumidores efetivos dos produtos e serviços. Por isso, os valores em torno dos quais se organizam os anúncios revelam as estratégias de legitimação do capital, no conteúdo que atribuem à imagem de uma “vida plena”. A nova retórica do grande capital é marcada por estratégias narrativas que têm como centro os “conceitos” de “qualidade de vida” e de “responsabilidade social”, em detrimento dos “conceitos” de “status” e “tecnologia” que marcaram a publicidade do período anterior.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the emergence of big capital new rhetoric in the contemporary Brazilian advertisements, based on the relationships among three levels: the economical and political context, the advertising field, and the advertisements themselves. These relationships allow us to explain the transformations of the basic values that inform the advertisement discourse, understood here as the rhetoric of the capital, that has the task of constructing the good will of public opinion and convert part of them into effective products and services consumers. Therefore, the values around which the ads organize reveal the legitimating strategies of the capital in the contents that attribute to the image of a full life. The new rhetoric of the big capital is marked by narrative strategies that have at the center the concepts of quality of life and social responsibility, in detriment of the concepts of status and technology that have marked the prior period of dvertisement.

Cultura e comunicação juvenis
Authors: Maffesoli Michel
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo2 analisa aspectos da cultura juvenil contemporânea, como a formação de novas tribos, a influência dos meios de comunicação de massa, dos vestuários (uso de piercings, umbigos à mostra etc.) e dos novos valores sobre as formas de sociabilidade.

Procura-se relacionar esses aspectos com a decadência

da cultura do pai todo-poderoso e com a busca de elementos que possam forjar uma nova ética para os relacionamentos humanos.

Palavras-chave: Cultura juvenil; comunicação; ética; lei do pai.

Duchamp e a anestesia estética na publicidade
Authors: Carrascoza João Anzanello
Published: March 2023

A criação publicitária resulta de uma prática de bricolagem levada a termo pelo redator e pelo diretor de arte  profissionais que atuam em dupla nas agências de propaganda e são os responsáveis pela elaboração das mensagens. Nesse processo, lançam mão de todo tipo de material cultural para criar as peças solicitadas. Ambos se valem sistematicamente, como matéria-prima, de citações

de imagens e enunciados fundadores, interferindo em seu significado, o que nos faz pensar nos ready-mades de Duchamp. Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre o ready-made como método de criação na propaganda e suas implicações no mundo dos signos.

Palavras-chave: Publicidade; processo criativo; bricolagem,

dialogismo; ready-made.

ABSTRACT

The creation of advertising is the result of a bricolage process

between a writer and an art director leading to an end result.

These professional people work as partnership teams in advertising agencies and are responsible for the development of advertising messages. In this process, they use all forms of cultural material to stimulate them in creating the requested pieces. Both individuals systematically draw from the raw material of existing images and phrases to create meaning in the advertising in a way that makes us think of Duchamps ready-mades. This article is a reflection on the ready-made as a method of advertisement creation

and the implications of it in the world of signs.

Publicidade, marcas e análise do ethos
Authors: Casaqui Vander
Published: March 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem epistemológica por meio da ótica do ethos publicitário. Destacamos as estratégias de modulação enunciativa, que projetam traços de caráter e corporalidade, na negociação simbólica entre o anunciante e seu público-alvo.

Esse processo é mediado pela comunicação das marcas.

Palavras-chave: Publicidade; ethos; marcas; semiótica; linguagem.

ABSTRACT

This article presents an epistemologic approach through the optical of the advertising ethos. We detach the strategies of the enunciate modulations, that project traces of character and shape, on the symbolical negotiation between the announcer and his target public. This process is mediated by the brands communication.

Keywords: Advertising; ethos; brands; semiotics; language.
Comunicação, consumo e moda: entre os roteiros das aparências
Authors: Freitas Ricardo Ferreira
Published: March 2023

Este artigo aborda a moda a partir de questões comumente debatidas no campo da comunicação social. Tendo o consumo como referência, a discussão propõe levar em conta os apontamentos de Simmel sobre a moda, relacionando-os a teóricos contemporâneos, de maneira a considerar não só os aspectos comerciais, mas, principalmente, os aparatos ideológicos que são produzidos ou apropriados pelos meios de comunicação de massa.

Palavras-chave: Moda; cultura de massa; consumo; comunicação social; espaços urbanos.

ABSTRACT

This article considers fashion from the standpoint of the debate within the field of communication studies. Taking consumption as a reference, the discussion takes into account Simmels annotations on fashion, linking them to contemporary theories in order to consider not only commercial aspects but, mainly, the ideological apparatus produced or appropriated by the mass media as

well.

Cidades visíveis: fragmentos da vida urbana brasileira em cinema e TV contemporâneos
Authors: Prysthon Angela
Published: March 2023

O propósito deste ensaio é pontuar a discussão sobre a existência das cidades midiáticas (especialmente aquelas do cinema e da televisão) e sua relação com as cidades reais. Uma das hipóteses é que as cidades visíveis nos media não são necessariamente um reflexo do real, não correspondem

a simulacros exatos do real, mas muitas vezes transformam

o real, modificam o real. Visamos também investigar como se dá a relação entre a memória urbana midiática e a experiência concreta. Vamos comparar as cidades apresentadas em telenovelas e filmes de ficção com

as cidades dos telejornais e documentários para, por meio de suas diferenças e, sobretudo, de suas semelhanças, entender como se processa a experiência urbana nos media.

Palavras-chave: Cidades; representação; media; experiência; televisão; cinema.

Abstract

Our purpose with this essay is to discuss the existence of mediatic cities (particularly the cinema and television cities) and their relation with real cities. One of the hypotheses is that the cities that are visible in the media do not necessarily reflect reality, they do not correspond to exact simulacraof the real, but in many occasions, they transform reality, they modify the real. We also seek to investigate the relations between the mediatic urban memory and the concrete experience, contrasting the cities presented by

the news and documentaries with the cities formatted by soap operas and movies, and through their differences and similarities, understand how urban experience is processed by the media.

Keywords: Cities; representation; media; experience; television; cinema.
Entretenimento e capacitação cognitiva na cibercultura: análise comparativa dos games SimEarth, SimAnt, SimLife e Spore
Authors: Regis Fátima , Perani Letícia
Published: March 2023

Pesquisadores da cibercultura defendem que o entretenimento estimula competências cognitivas em seus usuários. No entanto, há uma lacuna de pesquisas empíricas sobre o tema. Com o objetivo de investigar se há mudanças nas competências requeridas para a prática de games, realizou-se uma análise comparativa das características de games de 1990 (antes da “explosão” da internet e ciberespaço) e 2000 (em plena cibercultura). Os games investigados são SimEarth (1990); SimAnt (1991); SimLife (1992) e Spore (2008). O artigo apresenta os resultados preliminares dessa pesquisa.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań nad zastosowaniem poli­merów syntetycznych zbudowanych z merów winylowoamidowych, winylowosulfonowych, akrylowosulfonowych lub bezwodnika maleinowego do regulowania filtracji płuczek wiertniczych. Płuczki te zawierały w swoim składzie koloid ochronny typu skrobiowego, biopolimer, nanokrzemionkę hydrofobową dyspergowaną za pomocą sonifikatora w wodnym roztworze środków powierzchniowo czynnych oraz jonowy inhibitor hydratacji skał (KCl) i blokator węglanowy celem wytworzenia osadu filtracyjnego. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań z wykorzystaniem nowych środków syntetycznych dokonano ich doboru do regulowania filtracji oraz parametrów reologicznych płuczek wiertniczych w różnych warunkach geologicznych. Badania przeprowadzono dla płuczek o różnym stopniu zmineralizowania, przy różnej zawartości fazy stałej. Wykonano również badania właściwości smarnych i inhibicyjnych płuczek. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników zaproponowano składy płuczek charakteryzujące się niską filtracją w warunkach HPHT. Przeprowadzono pomiary statycznej filtracji HPHT na standardowych sączkach do pomiaru filtracji oraz w temperaturach 60°C i 120°C. Filtrację przy użyciu aparatu Grace M2200 HPHT wykonano na rdzeniach o porowatości 20 µm. W celu odtworzenia warunków otworowych do płuczek dodawano zwierciny (zmielony łupek mioceński) i skażenia chemiczne w postaci chlorków wapnia i magnezu. Wyniki pomiarów na aparacie Grace M2200 HPHT podane w artykule zostały przeliczone na podstawie stosunku powierzchni filtracji w celu porównania ze statyczną filtracją HPHT. Uzyskane wyniki badań mogą znaleźć zastosowanie w warunkach przemysłowych podczas głębokich wierceń oraz pozyskiwania energii geotermalnej.
