Los resultados constatables en el desempeño de las casas de estudio, así como la uniformación de criterios para validar dichos resultados y empujar el fortalecimiento de la educación superior en el país, están íntimamente ligados al diseño y consideración de la serie de indicadores que mencionamos al inicio de este texto. Es natural que la constante transformación del entorno y de las necesidades educativas y sociales nos planteé la necesidad de revisar, ampliar o diversificar algunos de estos instrumentos de medición; pero también es cierto que ellos han sido medulares en la necesaria estandarización de criterios de trabajo interestatal, en el ámbito de la educación pública a nivel superior. Por ello, no es de extrañar que organizaciones como la Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior (ANUIES) y el Consorcio de Universidades Mexicanas (CUMex) integraran como requisitos de ingreso y permanencia algunos de estos indicadores. Cabe destacar que uno de los usos dado a estas herramientas de medición compartida por las UPES ha sido el de señalar logros basados en comparativas a escala regional y nacional. Cuestión que, por un lado, motiva a las instituciones a diseñar acciones que les permitan fortalecerse y ser más competitivas (lo que redunda en el beneficio no sólo de las comunidades académicas, sino de la sociedad en general), y, por otro, revela problemáticas en algunas casas de estudio, así como la oportunidad de encontrar estrategias y acciones adecuadas para lograr una mejoría
Жестовий двомовний підхід у практиці спеціальних закладів України
Authors: Кульбіда Світлана
Published: February 2023

Упродовж останніх п’ятнадцяти років міжнародні дослідження щодо позицій жестової двомовностів освіті глухих зростають. Українські дослідники відділу навчання жестової мови Інституту спеці-альної педагогіки і психології імені Миколи Ярмаченка Національної академії педагогічних наук,Канадсько-Український Альянс залучені в спільний дослідницький процес. Аналітичну розвідкуприсвячено сучасному стану впровадження жестової двомовності в спеціальній освіті глухих осіб.Відбувається рух від застосування одномовного (усно-словесного підходу до визнання і застосу-вання позицій жестової двомовності в освіті глухих.Мета – визначення підходів навчання в діяльності спеціальних, ікклюзивних закладів для глухих учнів,представлення позицій жестової двомовності керівників, учителів жестової мови спеціальних закла-дів України для збільшення діалогу на означену тему. Методи – використано пошукову методологіюдослідження (Робсон, 2002), як спосіб знайти «що відбувається», «шукати нове розуміння». Осно-вні джерела даних включали: шістдесят анкет для тридцяти директорів, тридцяти вчителів жестовоїмови, тридцяти спеціальних закладів для глухих і зі зниженим слухом дітей, поглиблені інтерв’ю зучасниками анкетування. Дискурсивний аналіз застосовано до емпіричного матеріалу, щоб зрозу-міти нову практику жестового двомовного підходу вчителів жестової мови за останні десятиліття.У результатах проаналізовані шляхи підвищення ефективності білінгвального підходу в спеціаль-них закладах: вивчення предмета «Українська жестова мова» (УЖМ), професійне зростання вчи-теля жестової мови в рівнях кваліфікаційних категорій, організація курсів підвищення кваліфікації,підвищення якості викладання предмета, удосконалення програмного забезпечення, забезпеченнянавчально-методичною літературою, пропозиції щодо покращення якості вивчення та викладанняпредмета «УЖМ», наявність кабінету УЖМ, наявність педагогів з числа осіб з порушеннями слуху.Висновки вміщують позиції жестової двомовності, які формують передумови в зміні поглядів, ворганізації і діяльності спеціальних закладів для осіб з порушеннями слуху в Україні в контекстіоновленого розуміння ролі, місця і значення української жестової мови поряд зі словесною – укра-їнською мовою. Поступова перебудова організаційних основ професійної діяльності вчителя жес-тової мови, детермінованих новим формуванням розуміння білінгвальності, розроблення методикпредмета, рівнів професійної компетентності, відкриття кабінету УЖМ тощо. І хоч це перші кроки,вони стають відкритішими і поширеними для більшості сурдопедагогічної спільноти як чуючих, такі глухих педагогічних фахівців.

Концептуальні засади післявоєнного відновлення України, економічні аспекти
Authors: Покровська Н.М.
Published: February 2023

Стаття присвячена повоєнному відновленню економіки України в умовах глобалізаційних змін світової економіки, спрощених безпрецедентною агресією Росії. Конкретизовано основні концептуальні засади моделювання напрямів відбудови економіки країни з подальшим вступом України до Європейського союзу. Сформульовано авторський підхід до розуміння властивостей та особливостей стадій повоєнної відбудови, які мають бути основною складовою соціально-економічної системи модернізованої країни. Автор вважає, що необхідно враховувати не тільки попередній досвід відбудов, де за основу моделювання покладено ієрархічність і комунікативність, але й сучасний цифровий вплив на економічні явища. У статті проаналізовано попередній досвід грантових допомог постраждалим країнам, а також проілюстровано економічнізміни, які відбулися в країні після російського вторгнення.Виокремлені основні складові, що характеризують ефективність програмпіслявоєнного відновлення з економічної кризи. Через брак прозорих механізмів реалізації реформ економічних процесів, ми звертаємоокрему увагу, на вирішення цього питання, через залучення процесів цифровізації суспільства. Стрімкийрозвитокцифрових послуг в економіці потребуватимерозробкисистеми запобігання та нейтралізації ризиків, створеннявідповідної нормативно-правової бази в цій сфері, що є основним важелем при подоланні корупції, яка є однією з головних перешкод при повоєнній відбудові. При відбудові, стадії післявоєнної реконструкції повинні бути максимально ефективні та викликати довіру суспільства й міжнародних донорів, а особливо маючи зелений шлях до вступу у ЄС. Зауважено, що на сьогодні вже проводиться постійна підтримка міжнародним співтовариством тавиділяються кошти для зменшення зовнішнього фінансового тиску на Україну, поліпшення її платіжного балансу та забезпечення бюджетних потреб, а також підсилення її позиції за валютними резервами. Виходячи з сучасного стану української економіки в процесі глобалізаційних змін та подальшого вступу України до Європейського союзу запропоновано заходи щодо її вдосконалення.

Survivor-Centered Care in Gender-Based Violence Treatment Protocol for Healthcare Providers: A Medico-legal Review
Authors: Ahamed Borhan Uddin , Nahida Nazmun Nahar
Published: February 2023

The gender-based violence (GBV) treatment protocol for healthcare providers (HCPs) is an essential element for building the capacity of HCPs to provide better quality care to the survivors. A protocol helps to ensure that all survivors of GBV regardless of their age, background or ethnicity receive appropriate and effective care when they enter a health facility. Concern for patient welfare extends to ensuring that patients’ dignity is respected after an assault that may leave them feeling humiliated and degraded. Additionally, medical and forensic services should be provided in a manner that minimizes the number of invasive physical examinations and interviews of the patient. Rape management is generally considered as a medical emergency and the provision of medico-legal services thus takes secondary importance to general healthcare services [such as trauma treatment, evaluation and management of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)]. Performing a forensic examination may be considered as a negligent practice without meeting the primary healthcare needs of the patients. Health facilities are often the first entry points for GBV survivors – so, it is crucial for HCPs to be skilled and well-equipped to manage the care to the survivors. A protocol emphasizes the importance of providing survivor-centered care with an empathetic attitude to people affected by GBV includes identifying GBV, taking medical history, maintaining privacy and confidentiality and gathering medico-legal evidence.

Curative Surgical Treatment of Cerebral Palsy- A Case Presentation
Authors: Chowdhury Md Faridul Islam , Ahamed Shafi , Hyder Rumy Tabrez , Hossain Mir Latiar
Published: February 2023

There was no cure for Cerebral Palsy (CP) previously. However, there are many treatment options that may help to improve daily functioning of a child suffering from CP. But these options failed to prevent early death of the patients. New curable treatment era has started for CP patients with bilateral cranioplasty and duraplasty. This was the second case of the case series of CP treated by bilateral cranioplasty and duraplasty with very good outcomes. During operation of this patient, after removing cranial bones by craniotomy, found no dural pulsation. It is indicative of raised intracranial pressure. After duraplasty, brain pulsation was found very nicely, which indicates that intracranial pressure became normal. In early childhood, brain grows with the dural growth simultaneously. But dura is adherent with the skull bones. Premature closure of sutures and with thickening of skull bones result in small intracranial volume which does not allow the brain to grow according to age. So, brain atrophy causes widened fissures and widened sulci with brain parenchymal tissue loss as evidenced in CT scan of brain or MRI. In this case, we made adequate rooming for brain by doing cranioplasty and duraplasty and got excellent results.

Efficacy of tamsulosin versus silodosin as medical expulsive therapy on stone expulsion in patients with distal ureteral stone: A retrospective single center study
Authors: Karamık Kaan , Kısaarslan Mehmet , Anıl Hakan , Ateş Nihat
Published: February 2023

Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of tamsulosin and silodosin as medical expulsive therapy in patients with symptomatic uncomplicated distal ureteric stones. Material and Methods: The data of adult patients who had distal ureteric stones in size between 4 and 10 mm and were treated with medical expulsive therapy between June 2019 and January 2022 were retrospectively documented. Patients were divided into two groups. Patients in Group 1 received silodosin 4 mg, and Group 2 received tamsulosin 0.4 mg. Therapy was given for a maximum of 3 weeks. Stone expulsion rate, time to stone expulsion, stone burden, and stone size were recorded. The efficacy of tamsulosin and silodosin as adjunctive medical therapy was determined. Results: A total of 152 patients were included in the study. Demographic profiles were comparable between the 2 groups. 116 (76.3%) patients were stone-free at the end of the follow-up. The stone expulsion rate was calculated in 47 patients (73.4%) in Group 1, and 69 patients (78.4%) in Group 2 (P = 0.477). The distance of the stone to the ureterovesical junction was significantly associated with successful stone expulsion in multivariate analysis (P=0.032). Conclusion: There was no significant superiority between tamsulosin and silodosin as medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteral stones. The distance of the stone to the ureterovesical junction was the only independent predictor of stone expulsion in multivariate analysis. Keywords: Medical expulsive therapy,

Authors: Can Osman , Çakır Süleyman Sami , Vural Çiğdem , Eraldemir Ceyla , Çekmen Mustafa , Ötünçtemur Alper
Published: February 2023

Objective: Montelukast, an asthma drug, has an anti-inflammatory effect on tissues. We aimed to investigate therapeutic effect of montelukast (MK) on acetaminophen (APAP) - induced renal damage in rat models. Material and Methods: Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each. APAP was administered intraperitoneally as a single dose of 1000 mg/kg/day. In the treatment group, MK dose was 10 mg/kg and administered by oral gavage after APAP. The other groups were APAP + Saline group and the control group. We measured tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and Nitric oxide (NO) levels to determine the nephrotoxicity. Results: Serum Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were measured significantly higher in APAP group than rats in the control and APAP + MK groups. The level of GSH was significantly diminished in APAP-treated rats. However, the administration of MK significantly increased the level of GSH in the MK treatment group. Tissue MDA levels in rats treated with APAP alone were significantly higher compared to the control group and APAP + MK group. The level of NO was measured as elevated in APAP treated group. However, NO levels in the MK treatment group were significantly lower than APAP treated group. Furthermore, some morphological recoveries were observed in the MK treatment group compared to APAP alone group. Conclusion: MK has beneficial effects on APAP-induced renal toxicity and dysfunction. However, clinical studies are needed to demonstrate appropriate use and effects. Keywords: acetaminophen, kidney, montelukast, nephrotoxicity, oxidative stress

Authors: Ergül Aslıhan , Çağlar Ufuk
Published: February 2023

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of men who support their partners in getting the HPV vaccine. Material And Methods: All married women (< 26 years) who were admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinic and their husbands were evaluated for participation in the study. Patients’ and all characteristics of male partners were recorded. All male participants answered a survey form including ten statements about HPV and HPV vaccination. Male participants were divided into two groups according to their support or lack of support for HPV vaccination of their wife. Results: In total, 92 men supported HPV vaccination for their partners and 144 men opposed HPV vaccination (support rate: 39%). The mean marriage age, education status and monthly income were significantly higher in favor of men who support HPV vaccination for their wives. The rate of those who stated they were religious was significantly higher in the anti-vaccine group. Safety concerns about vaccine (27.8%), cost of vaccine (26.4%) and belief about HPV vaccine effectiveness (26.4%) were most common reasons for opposing HPV vaccination. Multivariate regression analysis revealed marriage age ≥25 years, education level of high school and university, higher monthly income and not self-identification as religious increased the HPV vaccine support rate. Conclusion: The present study found that men with higher marriage age, higher educational level, higher monthly income, and higher score on the HPV survey were significantly more supportive of their spouses getting the HPV vaccination. In contrast, men who identified themselves as religious had significantly less support for their wife being vaccinated.

Published: February 2023

Most of students feel bored in learning to write, one of the reasons is because the teaching and learning process still uses the teacher centered method. Thus, with the decline in learning achievement in writing, it seems that writing is difficult and boring. Therefore, the researcher used the picture guessing game media as a solution to the problem. The puposes in this study are to know the students’ before and after being taught using picture guessing game and to know the significant effect of using picture guessing games on students' writing skills at class 7D MTs Salafiyah Syafiiyah. The findings in this study are The student's score before being taught picture guessing game is still low and is included in the Enough score qualification. Then, the posttest scores of students after being taught the picture guessing game got an increase and were included in the qualification of good scores. The data shows that sig. (2-tailed) was 0.000. It was lower than 0.05. The results of these calculations mean that there is a significant effective of students' writing skills using the picture- guessing game. Thus, it can be concluded that the picture-guessing game is effective in teaching students' writing skills. So, it is strongly recommended for the teacher to use this media in writing class.

Tectonics of the Þeistareykir fissure swarm
Authors: Magnúsdóttir Sigríður , Brandsdóttir Bryndís
Published: February 2023

Tectonic activity within the Tjörnes Fracture Zone is characterized by strike-slip and extensional movements within three tranform zones, the Húsavík-Flatey Fault System, the Grímsey Volcanic Zone, connecting the offshore Kolbeinsey Ridge with the Northern Volcanic Zone on land, and the Dalvík lineament. We mapped the Þeistareykir volcanic system at the northwestern margin of the Northern Volcanic Zone using multibeam bathymetric maps, aerial photographs and satellite images. The 70–80 km long and 7–8 km wide Þeistareykir fissure swarm consists of large normal faults with maximum displacements of 200–300 meters along its western rim and rift fissures further east. A marked change in rift direction across the Húsavík-Flatey Fault System reflects complex tectonics at the junction of a transform fault system and a divergent volcanic zone. Normal faults on land and offshore have an average azimuth close to N25°E whereas the average azimuth of rift fissures changes from ∼N22°E south of the Húsavík–Flatey Fault System to ∼N43°E, in western Kelduhverfi. The 1618 and 1885 AD rifting events within the Þeistareykir fissure swarm were most likely fed by lateral magma propagation from the Þeistareykir volcanic center, northwards to the western part of Kelduhverfi. Although limited, historical reports indicate that the January 1885 rifting event triggered a ∼$M$ 6.3 earthquake near Lake Víkingavatn. The 1885 rifting event in western Kelduhverfi was similar to the 1975–1976 rifting event in eastern Kelduhverfi, when a laterally propagating dike from the Krafla caldera triggered the $M_S$ 6.4 Kópasker earthquake on January 13th, 1976. Seismic sequences within the Húsavík–Flatey Fault System and the Þeistareykir fissure swarm in 1867–1868 and 1884–1885 indicate a tectonic relationship between the rift zone and the transform zone.

Glaciology and volcanology on the centenary of Sigurður Þórarinsson's birth: a special issue
Authors: Benediktsson Ívar Örn , Björnsson Helgi , Larsen Guðrún , Sigmarsson Olgeir
Published: February 2023

The year 2012 marks the centenary of the birth of the late Sigurður Þórarinsson, the first professor of geology at the University of Iceland. His legacy is widely recognized in the international geoscientific community and the highest award of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI), the Thorarinsson Medal, is awarded to scientists for outstanding contributions to volcanology. Sigurður’s influence on Icelandic geoscientists was immense both through his university teaching and scientific collaborations. Although his research spanned a broad range of geosciences, including e.g. physical geography, geomorphology, periglacial features, and studies of interglacial sediments and tectonic earthquakes, his main fields of research were glaciology and volcanology in a broad context. Sigurður was president of the Iceland Glaciological Society from 1969 till his death, leader of most of its annual expeditions to Vatnajökull from 1953, and co-editor and frequent contributor to its scientific journal Jökull. This special issue of Jökull is dedicated to Sigurður’s contribution to geosciences and long-lasting influence on research in glaciology and volcanology in Iceland. This special issue contains an overview of Sigurður Þórarinsson’s life and scientific career by Sigurður Steinþórsson, ten peer-reviewed papers on different aspects of glaciology, glacial geomorphology and volcanology, Sigurður’s principal research fields and three society documentaries by two of Sigurður’s travel companions.
Deciphering eruption history and magmatic processes from tephra in Iceland
Authors: Óladóttir Bergrún Arna , Larsen Guðrún , Sigmarsson Olgeir
Published: February 2023

Tephra is the ideal volcanic product for the study of eruption history of Icelandic volcanoes and the underlying magmatic processes. In the last 11 centuries, 2/3 of all eruptions have been explosive, leaving tephra as their only product. Including eruptions of both lava and tephra increases the ratio of tephra producing eruptions to 3/4. Tephra conservation depends on several factors such as eruption intensity, weather conditions and volume of tephra produced as well as the surface on which the tephra is deposited. Vegetation improves conditions for in situ preservation of tephra layers, and once embedded in soil they can be preserved for long periods of time. Holocene eruption history can be reconstructed over the last 6–8 millennia from soil section and further back in time from lacustrine and marine sediment records. Tephra can be used to understand volcanic behaviour over long or short periods, a single eruption mechanism or individual production phases of an eruption. Examples of combined application of chemical analyses and tephra mapping show how (1) tephra layers from the Katla volcano unravel most of its Holocene eruption history and suggest likely increased eruption frequency in the future, (2) a fundamental link between repose time and eruption magnitude is manifested by Hekla tephra, (3) tephra from the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption gives insight into rapidly changing magmatic processes taking place during a single eruption, and (4) variability within tephra grains from the Grímsvötn 2011 eruption reflect different depth of magma storage. These examples illustrate how tephra studies, sensu lato, can reveal magmatic and eruption processes at different temporal and spatial scales that are of relevance for assessment of future eruptive scenarios
Surge fingerprinting of cirque glaciers at the Tröllaskagi peninsula, North Iceland
Authors: Brynjólfsson Skafti , Ingólfsson Ólafur , Schomacker Anders
Published: February 2023

The geomorphology and sedimentology of the Teigarjökull and Búrfellsjökull, two small surge-type cirque glaciers at the Tröllaskagi peninsula, northern Iceland was explored for improved understanding of their surge imprints. Geomorphological, geological and remote sensing data on sediments and landforms were used for developing a geomorphological model for surge-type cirque glaciers in Iceland. Most surge moraines identified are in the form of uneven small ridges or debris sheets that constitute a boulder-rich hummocky terrain. The size and structures of two moraines in front of Teigarjökull are interpreted as suggesting that the glacier has in the past switched between surge and non-surge behavior. Hummocky surfaces, small medial moraines and crevasse-fill ridges are common, as are landforms suggesting dead-ice melting, such as backslumping, extension cracks and sinkholes. The surface sediments are rich in subangular and angular pebbles, cobbles, and boulders. This distinct geomorphology of the glacier forefields results from ample supply of coarse and angular sediments originating from the steep mountain slopes bordering the glaciers and subsequently carried to the marginal zone via englacial and supraglacial transport.
Polyphase structural evolution of a fine-grained, fold-dominated end moraine, Brúarjökull surge-type glacier, Iceland
Authors: Benediktsson Ívar Örn
Published: February 2023

The glaciotectonic architecture and structural evolution of a fine-grained end moraine formed by the 1890 glacier surge of Brúarjökull is described from four excavated cross-sections. The end moraine ridge is a morphological expression of a marginal sedimentary wedge formed during the last days of the surge. The actual end-moraine ridge was formed on the last day of the 1890 surge when the glacier became coupled to the bed and ploughed into the reverse slope of the marginal sediment wedge. Ductile deformation, favoured by high porewater pressure, dominated the construction of the end moraine while brittle deformation was induced when porewater pressure decreased, particularly at the end of the surge. Thus, the deformation was polyphase, developing from open folding to multiple overfolding when porewater pressure was high and finally to overthrusting, faulting and shearing at the very end of the surge when porewater pressure dropped severely upon porewater blow-out in front of the moraine. This structural continuum is exhibited by the four cross-sections. The glaciotectonic stress was absorbed within a relatively narrow zone due to high friction along a basal décollement. A new model illustrates the structural evolution of a fine-grained, fold-dominated end moraine and may serve as an analogue to similar end moraines in modern and Pleistocene environments.
Minningar úr ferð til Dyngjufjalla 1962

The Stardalur magnetic anomaly, SW-Iceland: a review of research in 1968--2012
Authors: Kristjánsson Leó
Published: February 2023

Prominent geophysical anomalies of several km extent were noted in the vicinity of the farm Stardalur in southwestern Iceland in a gravity survey published in 1954, as well as in a 1968 total-field aeromagnetic survey published in 1970, and a seismic refraction study of the crust published in 1971. Further low-altitude and ground magnetic surveys were conducted around Stardalur in 1969–1973, and an exploratory hole was drilled to 200 m depth in 1969–1970 at the site of a very distinct peak in the ground anomaly. Various studies were carried out on a core (to 143 m depth) and on cuttings recovered by the drilling. From 41 m depth down, this material consisted of altered olivine tholeiite lava flows, with a mean remanent magnetization intensity of the order of 15 times the average for Icelandic Tertiary lavas. Modelling of the anomaly peak, which was found to reach at least 27μT above the main geomagnetic field intensity of 52μT, indicated that the lava flows formed a body of dimensions about 200 by 600 m striking NE to NNE, inside a caldera structure. This structure probably dates from a normal-polarity subchron around 2 m.y. ago during the Matuyama geomagnetic chron. Further studies on samples from the Stardalur drill core revealed the presence of quite pure and slightly cation-deficient magnetite, whose percentage in the lavas is more than twice the average for Tertiary basalts in Iceland. The magnetite has largely been formed by exsolution from titanomagnetite, but it is also present in small grains which have separated from olivine. A very minor proportion of the magnetite may be of single-domain size, and it appears not to be a decisive factor in the bulk magnetic properties of the lavas. For instance, the natural remanence is much less resistant to alternating-field demagnetization than could be expected for single-domain grains. It is not certain whether it is a primary thermal remanence or of secondary origin, although the former seems more plausible. In agreement with the conclusions of previous researchers, it appears likely that the strong magnetization is due to a chance combination of circumstances (such as high magnetite content, high oxidation state, and strong ambient field) rather than to some unique phenomenon. In this paper, a new ground magnetic survey at Stardalur is presented, along with a simple model of the source of the main anomaly peak. The geological reasons for the creation of that source remain unknown, but comparisons are made with a magnetic anomaly at Hvanneyri in western Iceland which has similarities with the Stardalur anomaly.
